I don't know if it has anything to do with your situation, but I highly recommend disabling both onboard network cards and installing something PCI - I had frequent random reboot problems on all four of my DL360s, with and without the broadcom patch from Ted Mittelstaedt. Following Ted's suggestion, I haven't had a single reboot (three weeks now) after disabling the NICs in the BIOS, removing the driver from the kernel, and installing an Intel Pro 1000/MT in each. -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Crashing with HP/Compaq DL360 G3 [paging kernel developer]
I've got four identical HP/Compaq DL360 G3 1u servers. Each has the latest available firmware: Proliant P31 (03/03/2005) BIOS HP SmartArray 5i RAID onboard controller (v2.62) (2) HPNC7781 (Broadcom BCM5703) (ASIC rev. 0x1002) 10/100/1000 onboard network card iLO v1.80 (Jul/12/2005) and each has: two Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz w/ Hyperthreading four sticks of 512MB ECC RAM two 36GB SCA disks in RAID1 via SmartArray 5i I have sudden [seemingly random] reboots with all four (see http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2006-02/msg01605.html) while running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE through the PreReleases and now with 6.1-STABLE. In an effort to make FreeBSD stable with DL360's, I'm wondering if there's a driver/kernel developer interested in having full remote access to this machine for a week or two (or three) via iLO and root/ssh.

Re: traffic analysis

Unless my math is wrong because it's past bed time: 140Mb/day divided by 86400 seconds per day = 0.001 Mb/second (average) 0.001 Mb/second = 1.659 Kb/second this means a dialup modem could handle your average traffic. and remember Mb is Megabits, not MegaBytes. The server is on a /20-network, and this leads to high amounts of background traffic (ARP, broadcast, etc.). These traffic types are likely to be the reason for most of your outbound traffic. Is your server's netmask 255.255.240.0 ??? If it is, call your provider, laugh at them, and then call a new provider. If your netmask is not 255.255.240.0, call the person who gave you that line, laugh at them, and try to find someone more intelligent :) You're surely not on a subnet with 4000 hosts. I'm not sure I follow this argument. Does this mean I'm responding to large number of spurious requests? The provider's analysis of the input volume is pretty small (0Mb). If you were on a network with 4000 other machines, it could certainly cause problems. But i'd bet that someone is just confused -- i'd bet that their entire network space is a /20, and they have allocated a small part of it for your network. Is there a tool that can give me some reasonable data on this sort of problem? Perhaps I need to close down some services etc. I doubt it, but you can try tcpdump. -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Crashing with FreeBSD 6.0R
I've got four brand new identical HP DL360 systems, each with Dual Xeon 2.8ghz (with Hyperthreading on). All four of them are randomly crashing in the same manner. Each server is running FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE, running identical software and is set up in an identical manner (besides hostname, ip, etc). The only difference is that one of the four acts as a NFS server for /usr/ports, while the other three use AMD to access the volume, on rare occasion. Each of the four servers primary purpose is to deal with incoming mail. Each runs an identical flavor of daemontools, ucspi-tcp, and qmail. each kernel dump says that tcpserver was the process running during a page fault, but I would bet that the problem has nothing to do with tcpserver. I've tried disabling hyperthreading in the operating system (via removing /boot/loader.conf:machdep.hyperthreading_allowed=1)... No changes. I could try disabling hyperthreading in the BIOS to see if the crashing stops. I could also upgrade to 6.1beta if there was any reason to. for the output of kgdb kernel.debug /var/crash/vmcore.2, see: http://jeremy.kister.net./tmp/freebsd-crash.txt Any suggestions on where to go from here? -- Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net./ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD install on SCSI: Missing Operating System
I'm installing FreeBSD on an Intel ISP2150 dual 450 server with a Seagate ST39173LC 9GB SCA SCSI disk on an Adaptec AIC-7896 controller. I have no cd-rom, have created the two necessary floppies, and can install via FTP. the whole installation process goes smooth, but upon reboot, I simply get 'Missing Operating System'. I've googled for this, and searched the archives, but there is too much garbage about other operating systems interfering. I have found references to the auto-detected logical geometry being wrong. I see no user configurable options about c/h/s in the adaptec bios. FreeBSD's fdisk detects the geometry as: 8683 Cylinders/64 heads/32 sectors for 17782784 sectors (8683MB) I've tried making the root slice 250MB, 150MB, 100MB, and 90MB, each yielding no meaningful difference. Reading Charles Swiger's freebsd-questions post of 20040122, I have installed Windows 2000 Server on this machine; it boots up and runs fine. I'm simply stumped here and don't know what direction to head in. any advice?
