Dell dset install error

Nick Lunt — 2013-05-16T07:32:24

Hi folks

dell-dset-lx32-3.4.0.137.bin on RHEL 5.3 x86

[root< at >rhel5.3 /stage]# sh dell-dset-lx32-3.4.0.137.bin
install.sh: line 350: `DSET2.2PreCheck': not a valid identifier

Anyone found a fix for this?

I went to 'previous version' on
http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/555/DriverDetails?driverId=P3W03and
there are none.

Thanks
Nick .

Current vendor mode syntax for gen 12 servers

Aaron W — 2013-05-15T21:00:56

What is the current incantation to get a root on the gen 12 enterprise
idracs?

Previous versions it was "util mode -set vendor"

Why?  debugging memory leak on a particular release.  I am aware of all the
reasons I should not know or use this.  Reply individually if you would
like.

Problem with install syscfg via yum on SL 6.4

Jonathan Barber — 2013-05-14T16:07:38

When I try to install syscfg via yum (on Scientific Linux 6.4) I get the error:
"""

The RPM that yum wants to install is from this URL:
http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/platform_independent/rh60_64//DTK/syscfg-4.2.0-4.2.1.el6.x86_64.rpm

gpgkey=http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-dell
       http://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/latest/RPM-GPG-KEY-libsmbios

which are correct as far as I can tell.

Am I doing something stupid or is the syscfg package impro

iDRAC 7 Express capabilities

Nick Lunt — 2013-05-14T12:10:05

Hi folks

we have purchased some servers with iDRAC 7 Express, however from the
documentation I cannot find out if the iDRAC 7 Express supports connecting
to the server when the server is powered off, so we can power it on and
watch it boot etc all from the iDRAC 7 Express.

If anyone can confirm this I would appreciate it, and a pointer to the
relevant documentation would be a great help.

Many thanks
Nick .

Broadcom NIC optimization

Hi,
How do you maximize UDP performance for Broadcom NICs on PowerEdge servers?   I'm having difficulty exceeding 15% utilization at 1gbps.  (I have seen a lot of conflicting statements.)

Internet Explorer 9 vs iDRAC7 remote console

John Lloyd — 2013-04-29T16:42:31

We've been seeing intermittent issues with this -- the remote console fails to start, or once started then stops with "session disconnect" in the bottom left-land-corner of the screen.  Sometimes it just hangs (for hours -- I have a lot of patience).  Restarting IE seems to resolve this, but then I only start IE just to connect to the iDRAC so it seems wrong.  Resetting the iDRAC also helps often.

IE 8 seems not so bad.

We've updated to latest 1.37.35 firmware.  We use native access (activeX not java).  These are Enterprise iDRAC with their own Ethernet interface, we have 6 on various models (r620 r720), all seem to show similar symptoms.

Is there any magic to getting remote console to reliably work?

RAID0 to RAID1 reconfigure, possible?

Robert Citek — 2013-04-29T01:48:16

Hello all,

I would like to convert a single-drive RAID0 to a two-drive RAID1.  On
page 237 of v7.1 of the OMSA guide[1], it mentions that it may be
possible to convert drives to a different RAID level using omconfig.

The RAID0 was created with this command:

# omconfig storage controller action=createvdisk controller=0 raid=r0
size=max pdisk=0:2

I would now like to convert that to a RAID1 using the drive at 0:3
using this command:

# omconfig storage controller action=reconfigure controller=0 vdisk=1
raid=r1 size=max pdisk=0:2,0:3

However, when I try that, I get this error:

Error! Unrecognized parameter value:

bridge network in Dell PE R720

s sen — 2013-04-28T08:09:20

Hi All,

I am new user in this group.

I have a question ?
Recently I was working on Dell PE R720 and was trying to configure
bonding with bridge and vlan in that server. I have installed Oracle Linux
6.3 in that server. The server 2 Nic card are connected to 2 switch where I
have configured trunk mode. I have named the etho and eth1 as em1 and em2,
If I configure bonding, the network gets up, I can ping the gateway and can
reach internet. The problem is after I configure bonding and bridge the
interfaces are getting up but I cannot ping the gateway, cannot ping the
server from the switch also. Any idea what is going wrong? Below is the
ifconfig output:

ifconfig :

bond0
DEVICE="bond0"
ONBOOT="yes"


bond0.160
Device="bond0.160"
onboot="yes"
vlan="yes"
bridge="br_dmz"


bond0.161
Device="bond0.161"
onboot="yes"
vlan="yes"
bridge="br_prod"


br_dmz
Device=br_dmz
Type=Bridge
Onboot=yes
delay=0
bootproto=none

br_prod
Device=br_prod
Type=Bridge
Onboot=yes
delay=0
bootproto=none

EDAC error on PE2850

Adam Thompson — 2013-04-26T17:08:28

Booting RHEL 6.4, I see this in the log shortly after dracut pivots to the new root: 

    EDAC MC: Ver: 2.1.0 Mar 29 2013 
    Contact your BIOS vendor to see if the E752x error registers can be safely un-hidden 

I'm already running BIOS A07, which (AFAIK) is the latest/last available for a PE2850. 

I can add "force_function_unhide=1" to the options for e752x_core, but will that interfere with other Dell components?  This server does have a DRAC 4/I card installed, but is not (yet) running OMSA.  [In fact, I think 7.2 drops support for the 2850, so it might never run OMSA...] 

Thanks,

racadm issue

Jos Monnikhof — 2013-04-26T09:05:25

Hello,

We have several PowerEdge T310 servers with an iDrac6 Enterprise card. All work fine, except the one server which has a very peculiar problem. I called Dell tech support, but they did not have an answer for me and recommended I posted to this list.
The problem is as follows:
When executing "racadm" with any subcommand except for help, it does not provide any visible output. The return code is "2".

Sample output:
[root< at >sv1 ~]# racadm getniccfg
[root< at >sv1 ~]# echo $?
2

The card itself seems to work fine, I can log into the Drac web interface. Openmanage is installed on the server and that webpage is also working. Both webpages provide no warnings or errors that something should be wrong.

We have (among others) the following pieces of software on this system:
dell-omsa-repository-2-5
srvadmin-all-7.2.0-4.9.1.el5

Linux version as follows: 2.6.18-164.15.1.el5, it's a CentOS 5 system.

Firmware versions:
IDRAC6 ENTERPRISE: 1.95.00 (Build 5)
BIOS: 1.8.2
