ESRT2 Errors

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 24 May 2013 00:18:42 GMT

There is S5000VSA board configured ad ESRT2 RAID. 3VDs - 2 raid 1 and 1 - raid 0. OS - W2008 R2, latest storage drivers and rwc2.

first VD contains OS and act as Hyper-V Server, second VD contains vhd files of virtual machines and third VD (raid 0) is used as a backup drive.

There is event 113 registering every several seconds in rwc.

113

[Information, 0]

2013-05-23, 21:04:05

Controller ID: 0 Unexpected sense: PD = -:-:2No addtional sense information, CDB = 0x28 0x00 0x01 0x9d 0x8c 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x14 0x00 , Sense = 0x70 0x00 0x03 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80 0x00 0x02

878

According to alert decoding document CDB 0x28 means READ command was sent. 2-nd sense byte 0x03 means medium error but Additional Sense Code and Additional Sense Code Qualifier both 0x00 which doesn't correspond to any particular error. During this errors the system is mostly unresponsive and VD with raid 0 (disk F: in OS) cannot be accessed. Although rwc2 says that raid status is optimal and all drives are online.

But simple soft reset rescues all this for about a day, then event 113 appears once agains and so on. Any thoughts ?

Freezing S1200BTL in P4304BTLSHCNR

webadmin@intel.com — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:30:49 GMT

Hello Community!

We have a big problem with a brand new S1200BTL based server and we don´t know whats wrong with it. During setup of a Windows Small Business Server the server worked fine, but a day later it stopped working and the only seeable activity was the error LED on the back directly next to the ID LED, it was flashing yellow.

Because we have already build several servers using the P4304BTLSHCNR barebone and this is the first one with problems we are a helpless because we don´t no what else we can do after:

- replacing memory (now Kingston KVR13E9/8I)

- removing RS2BL080

- removing RMM4

- using other hard drives

We have installed a Xeon E3-1240V2.

Because there are no firmware files for usage with the Intel Deployment Assistant we used EFI shell for flashing the latest firmware, but at the end of flashing procedure the server switch off with blink error LED.

What can we do? Replace the Mainboard???

Best regards from Germany

How to use NTB (Non-transparent-bridge) in R1000GZ/GL server

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 14 May 2013 02:37:18 GMT

Hi,

I got two R10000GZ/GL servers couple days ago. I need them to try the PCIe Non-transparent-bridge (NTB) function. After installing Fedora 17 OS, there is no NTB function available. I think I should set something in BIOS to enable the NTB function but I can not find the place to do it. Could someone can teach me how to enable the NTB function ? Or there is any document about this? Thanks very much.

Midplane Model #

webadmin@intel.com — Wed, 22 May 2013 14:27:46 GMT

Have an SR2600URLXR server system and I am trying to find out the model number for the midplane. I can't find one written on it. The Web RAID console is listing it as ALMP2, but I can't find any drivers or firmware for that. Does anyone know what the model number might be?

82574L and 82579LM Link Aggregation

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 09 May 2013 22:31:03 GMT

I have a very noob question on trying to get these two NIC's to team together for link aggregation.

I just set up a Synology DS713+ NAS at home and purchased a Cisco SG 200-08 switch in order to use the link aggregation that the

Synology unit offers. When I try to Team these two connections on my HP Z820 computer I get an error message saying that "The devices included in this team do not support the team type" I can select Adaptive Load Balancing but not the IEEE 802.3ad Dynamic Link Aggregation.

I was hoping to benefit from being able to use both of these ethernet ports for better transfer speeds with my NAS.

Can anyone point out what I might be doing wrong?

If it is not possible to LAG these two together, what do I need to do? Buy a third card and link two different ethernet ports together?

If this is the case which one of my existing NIC's do I use with the new one?

Which new one would you recommend?

Thanks for any input.

S1200BTL and P4304XXSHDN Chassis

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:30:45 GMT

This is the setup:

S1200BTL

Bios Version: S1200BT.86B.02.00.0041

BMC Firmware Version: 1.16.4347

SDR Version: SDR Package 1.16

ME Firmware Version: 2.2.0.49

Chassis: P4304XXSHDN

PSU: DPS-460KB A Rev: 01F

IPMI Reports the following regarding the PSUs.

PS1 Status | 0x0 | discrete | 0x0000| na | na | na | na | na | na

PS1 Power In | na | Watts | na | na | na | na | 448.000 | 508.000 | na

PS1 Temperature | na | degrees C | na | na | na | na | 60.000 | 65.000 | na

There are no entries for PS2.

When attempting to update the SDR/FRU, the choices given to me are

2013-05-16-14:11:28 1 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis P4304XXSFCN

2013-05-16-14:11:28 2 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis P4304XXSHCN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 3 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis R1304BTLSFAN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 4 Intel(R) Entry Server Chassis R1304BTLSHBN

2013-05-16-14:11:29 5 Other Chassis

Choosing entry number 2 makes the system think there is a FAN4 connected when there isn't. Entry 1 doesn't fix the problem, and then I chose "Other Chassis". Then the following:

Select the fan speed for the chassis

1 Slow Ramp

2 Medium Ramp

3 Fast Ramp

4 Full Speed Fans

Probing system for sensors and FRU device hardware...

Is Processor Fan installed?y

Is System Fan 1 installed?y

Is System Fan 2 installed?y

Is System Fan 3 installed?y

Is System Fan 4 installed?n

Does the system have chassis intrusion?y

Does the front panel support a NMI button?y

Update for SDR through CFG Started

Updating SDR ......

I still get the issue with only PS1 "sensors" showing up.

This makes me believe that it is possible that the PSUs are simply dumb PSUs and no actual sensors. Even though looking up the PSU model number leads me to the Delta (PSU manufacturer) site and on their table it shows the PSU as having PMBus.

This is the product that is purchased

http://www.nexlink.com/servers/systems/IP-P4304BTL.aspx

Can I edit the MASTER.CFG prior to updating the FRU/SDR to omit the PSUs? or is the Chassis not compatible with S1200BTL

S2600CP4 don't post with Dual E5-2620

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 19:34:12 GMT

Hi,

I am assembling one S2600CP4 based server having Dual E5-2620. I am facing following problem in endless loop if I install Dual E5-2620.

reports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Deasserted

reports the power unit is powered off or being powered down - Asserted

System works fine if I use single E5-2620. Please help me solve this issue.
