Hi,

While using DSU on a Ubuntu based Operating System, DSU by default picks up the 
catalog file available at https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/ubuntu/catalog/ 
unless or until a custom catalog is supplied using option like 
--source-location.

Otherwise, rest of the DSU operations remain the same without any change. 
Please let us know if you have more queries.

Regards,
Sashi

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] IPMI SOL problem on C2100
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"

Hi all.

I'm working with automation tools on some C2100 and C1100 servers.
A few weeks ago, I was able to connect to one of my servers using Serial Over 
Lan with ipmi-console (from freeipmi), like this:

$> ipmi-console -h IPADDRESS -u USER -P

This started up a SOL connection, and this way I was able to automate some 
interactions with the BIOS settings.
However, a few days later, the same script didn't work anymore. It just says 
"[SOL established]", and that's it: the SOL connection never shows (or send to 
the server) any feedback.

I'm writting to this list in order to find what could possibly change that the 
SOL connection is not working anymore.

Is there any BIOS setting I should check?
I obviously checked for anything related to SOL and IPMI, but everything looks 
normal. IDK what else to check.

Any pointer would be nice. Thanks in advance.
Daniel.

Hello all, hope all is well
Going over the docs for using dsu on ubu, they point to leveraging the 
Catalog_Ubuntu.gz, and that's it.
What do I do with that Catalog? < be nice :) > How would I have an ubuntu host 
leverage this file

from here
https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/dsu/
It is recommended that for updating Ubuntu systems that the Ubuntu catalog be 
used (Ubuntu Catalog
<https://linux.dell.com/repo/hardware/ubuntu/catalog/>)
and that link just goes to this Catalog.gz apologies work with ubu a bit 
haven't seen use of a catalog file in package mgmt -Release.pgp Packages.gz and 
a Content_arch.gz like Contents-amd64.gz

Would very much like to use dsu with ubu

thanks and best regards all

Subject: [Linux-PowerEdge] MegaCLI compatibility in StorCli (with
        added   typos) ?
Message-ID:

Hi,
Has anyone noticed that storcli (version 1.23.02 tested) appears to support 
MegaCli's syntax? Does anyone know if this is here to stay?

E.g:
Instead of:
/opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDGetNum -a0 -NoLog

You could just use:
/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 -PDGetNum -a0 -NoLog

In fact, the syntax compatibility between the two programs seems quite 
extensive and I was able to adapt my megaclisas-status utility to drive storcli 
just by changing the path.

Details at:
https://github.com/ElCoyote27/hwraid/commit/b57a3d41d780336ad3fc0fa356fb789049b46bf4#diff-9ad7624e74695a8211213f4e55109526

There are a few caveats:
storcli appears to be much more strict about which controllers it will accept. 
In my (limited) testing, I wasn't able to make storcli work with H710's and 
H730's on RHEL7. The user from Russia who tipped me off to this compability was 
using an LSI/Avago 9361-8i HBA, perhaps that's why it worked for him.
(See: https://github.com/eLvErDe/hwraid/issues/85)

Also, it seems that LSI added (at least) one typo when they backported into 
storcli:

# /opt/MegaRAID/MegaCli/MegaCli64 -PDList -a0 -NoLog|egrep -i 
Drive.*pos.*tion|head -2 Drive's position: DiskGroup: 0, Span: 0, Arm: 0 
Drive's position: DiskGroup: 0, Span: 0, Arm: 1

While on storcli it says the following:
# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 -PDList -a0 -NoLog|egrep -i 
Drive.*pos.*tion|head -2 Drive's postion: DiskGroup: 0, Span: 0, Arm: 0 Drive's 
postion: DiskGroup: 0, Span: 0, Arm: 1
         ^^^^^^^

So much for grep'ing for output. I've now changed the regexp to:
re.match(r'^Drive.s pos[a-z]*tion: DiskGroup: [0-9]+,.*$'

Refs:
# rpm -qa |egrep -i '(mega|storcl)'
MegaCli-8.07.14-1.noarch
storcli-1.23.02-1.noarch

I've written about this several times in the past, e.g.:
