Just for information, one of the machines which produced the 'omreport' output given in my previous message, has been reinstalled (temporarily) with RedHat 5 (because it is one of the officially Dell-supported OS, and we wanted to ensure there was actually no hardware problem on our servers). Under this OS, the same OpenManage tool gives this output:
[r...@my-server ~]# omreport storage controller Controller PERC 6/i Integrated (Embedded) Controllers ID : 0 Status : Ok Name : PERC 6/i Integrated Slot ID : Embedded State : Ready Firmware Version : 6.2.0-0013 Minimum Required Firmware Version : Not Applicable Driver Version : 00.00.04.08-RH2 Minimum Required Driver Version : Not Applicable Number of Connectors : 2 Rebuild Rate : 30% BGI Rate : 30% Check Consistency Rate : 30% Reconstruct Rate : 30% Alarm State : Not Applicable Cluster Mode : Not Applicable SCSI Initiator ID : Not Applicable Cache Memory Size : 256 MB Patrol Read Mode : Auto Patrol Read State : Stopped Patrol Read Rate : 30% Patrol Read Iterations : 6 Abort check consistency on error : Disabled Allow Revertible Hot Spare and Replace Member : Enabled Auto replace member on predictive failure : Disabled Load balance : Auto This seems to confirm that there is actually no problem with our hardware, and -- more important -- that a recent enough version of the 'megaraid-sas' module (>= 00.00.03.21) is probably the only missing thing for the Dell OpenManage tools to work seamlessly with Debian Lenny on PowerEdge R610 servers. Hope that helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
