• Data store / latency issues with HP ProLiant DL380 G7 - controller HP Smart Array P410i after disk 2014.09.0 SPP / hpsa - 5.0.0.74 update

  Hello

  We are currently investigating massive data store and the problems of latency of disk (mainly READING) on some of our HP ProLiant DL380 G7 with P410i (BBWC) controller.

  It all started after our half of regularly updated cycle for ESXi 5.1 U2 to:

  ESXi510-201407001 (no problem)

  -hp - esxi5.0uX - bundle - 2.1.1 - 2 (no problem)

  -HP-HPUtil-esxi5.0-bundle-2.1-15 (no problem)

  -hpsa - 5.0.0.74 (pilot) & SPP2014.09.0 (-assigned problems)

  It is not a permanent increase in the latency of reading, but rather meeting points that trigger alerts of Veeam. Store of data read latency increases about 5 MS to 100 ms as soon as this happens, but after a few seconds, everything is back to normal. These data warehouses special are RAID5 (but we have also seen some alerts on RAID1), having read and write cache enabled and the most affected machines are those with the LOWEST its use.

  We have a few WinServer2012R2 RDP for a small number of sessions (less than 5) - there is no noticeable delay on work on these.

  Maybe someone of you knows a similar behavior after you apply the updates of HP ProLiant servers. We don't have any idea on what to try next, a SPP restoration is not possible, maybe the pilot, but we find the correct predecessor, as the old drivers of 2014 HPSA leads the Group on the host computer.

  Hello

  most likely, you have already solved the problem... I did some research and was in contact with HP. It is a problem with the driver hpsa - 5.0.0.74. It occasionally crashes when used with P410i. In the papers, you can find "WARNING: LinScsi: SCSILinuxAbortCommands:1843: failure, pilot hpsa to vmhba0. HP knows talking and working on the new driver. As a workaround, you can use hpsa - 5.5.0.60 (at least it works well for us).

• Expansion / Upgrade ProLiant DL380 G5 and ProLiant DL360 G5

  Hi all, we have two servers, Proliant DL380 G5 with SmartArray 400 and Proliant DL360 G5 with SmartArray 200icontroller controller, expand us on the disks, memory and cards network, the problem is that after we see the documentation which is sometimes wrong and don't know not the limitations of each of the parties, the issues are:

  Proliant DL380 G5 SmartArray 400:
  - STORAGE: up to 8 SAS / SATA, not clear what size that can be used with this controller, we understand that up to 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM and maximum 2 TB SAS 7200 RPM, we currently use with 146 GB drives to 10,000 rpm, whose original documentation is the maximum allowed value.
  -MEMORY: Up to 64 GB modules of maximum memory up to 8 GB.
  - NETWORK: update with PCI Express, support cards that I can find are HP NC110T PCI Express and PCI-Express HP NC373 HP NC360T PCI-Express.

  Proliant DL360 G5 SmartArray 200i:

  - STORAGE: up to 4 SAS / SATA controller supports only 200i SmartArray four drives in RAID 0, 1, 1 + 0 if we wanted to expand to six bays that are available on the disk server, it would change the controller and memory. Yet, the size of disk maximum supported based on the documentation is 72 GB SAS and SATA drive 60 GB, but looking it seems as if you agree at least 300 Gb SAS disks at 10 000 rpm and up to 500 GB 7200 RPM.
  - MEMORY: up to 64 GB maximum memory modules up to 8 GB.
  - NETWORK: update with PCI Express, support cards that I can find are HP NC110T PCI Express and PCI-Express HP NC373 HP NC360T PCI-Express.

  This is what I have gathered and what interests me in the expansion and to say that the documentation I found to give the feeling of this conflict, is perhaps by the dates of their procedures, but before you make a payment would guarantee the purchase. Also getting information guides, manuals and forums, I have also consulted compatibiliy HP Proliant Server Guide, so I have consutlado with HP before purchasing, but have yet to receive an answer.

  A greeting and thank you very much

• HP Proliant DL380 G4 Red Hat 5.1 Linux P2V

  Hello

  I'm trying to P2V a HP Proliant DL380 G4 with Linux Red Hat 5.1.

  I did a basic cold migration and found that I was getting panic the kernel. Looking through the mistakes, that's because migration cold does not provide the correct drivers etc. to the controller raid etc..

  What I want to know is:

  What is support/how to P2V a Linux OS with RAID etc configurations?

  Is there documentation?

  Personally Im lazy and I'd like to see for a moment, and then click software if possible.

  I P2Ved a bunch of them - but to be honest, we had problems in the start menu and ended up using Platespin Migrate (PowerConvert)

  We talked to one of our COMPUTER resellers and they gave you a free for a migration or two - licesnse if at least we were able to test the product.

• VMS 64-bit on HP Proliant DL380 with ESXi 4.1 G4

  Hello world

  Impossible to install 64-bit VMs on HP Proliant DL380 G4's with ESXi 4.1? I received an error message:

  msg.cpuid.noLongmodeQuestionFmt: this virtual computer is setup for 64-bit client

  operating systems. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.

  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.

  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152 .

  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Can someone explain to me and indicate a solution for this problem?

  The link also does not work...

  Where and how can I activate the Longmode?

  Thanks for your attention

  You must enable VT in the BIOS of the system and probably not execute (or disable it, always, I forget which).

  Doing so once the power to change the system, remove the cards power and then turn back on and you should be able to create x 64 vm

• ProLiant DL380 G6 memory configurations

  Our servers ESX host of base HP Proliant DL380 G5s in recent years (2-Quad Core procs with 32 GB of memory).

  We intend to jump to the G6s DL380 (2 Quad Cores and 64 GB of memory) and I always rolled my head around configurations of memory. Looks like I could go with 8-8 GB or 16-4 GB Dual RDIMMS. For our company, I don't see us willing to go more than 64 GB for a host for the free slots aren't a concern.

  The choice seems obvious because of differences in cost between the two. I guess this leaves of performance.

  1. What is the difference real performance one would expect between these two configurations?

  2. This change when we jump from ESX 3.5 to VSphere?

  3. Are there other aspects that I'm on.

  With the virtualization environment, more memory of course provide best performance and host virtual machines more than you have known, the only thing that would be if you must attach these 2 types of hosts G5 & G6 in a cluster, you will be not able to VMotion and you should activate CVS to work otherwise use CPU masking in the parameters of the advance on CPUID NX indicator that could do otherwise use VMware CPU Compatility tool to check that well.

  Many of my clients are satisfied with DL360 G6s and also running 64 GB of RAM but it using DIMMs 8x8GB.  I would use whatever it is cheaper for your cost as long as it has the same requirements of 64 GB of memory.  Unless you have plans for the future expansion of 128 GB, then using 16 x 4 DIMMS would be a long-term strategy.

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

• Factory restore / Boot Order RAID 0 array?

  I have a 'mobile 'current enforcement office (laptop) XP Pro SP2 with dual hard drives in a RAID 0 array.  For various reasons, I want to put the machine in its factory out-of-the-box condition using discs of recovery/restoration of the manufacturer (essentially the application of Norton Ghost). I did my due diligence regarding the restoration of the machine and 'reconstruction' from there, but the machine does not start on boot from the restore disc CD.  I do not venture into the BIOS often... the existing boot priority order is as follows:

  1. USB FDC:

  2 PCISCSI: FTTX Ary1

  3 IDEO_M: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM

  4 IDEO_S: _NEC DVD + /-RW

  5. PCI LAN:

  6.

  7 etc.

  I don't have a built-in floppy drive. I want the machine to start from #3 (my first optical drive).  In the order of precedence of the BIOS Boot, I simply move #3 to the #1 or #2 position?  Will be other items then simply drop into their existing order?

  I do not know how does RAID 0 of the table is on the boot order selection, but I don't want to spoil anything.  I appreciate your help and your expertise.

  Hi Aravaipa,

  · On what CD drive you insert the disc?

  · The operating system was preinstalled on the computer?

  · If so, what the number and model of the computer?

  · If it was custom build provide the serial number and model of the motherboard?

  · Have you have saved data on the computer?

  I suggest you to back up data before performing the procedure below:

  1. If the computer is preinstalled on RAID 0 configuration then you might need to break the Raid by changing the variable speed drive (ATA controller) to Normal or IDE

  2. as you have two CD/make ROM DVD readers like the first and the second in the boot sequence and make the method of trial and error to see what DVD Rom detects the recovery disk

  Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. You can contact the manufacturer of the computer for better assistance.

• Can I make a switchable hot on HP Proliant DL380 G6-Raid-1

  Afternoon everyone,

  I got one of the hard drives on our host of failure and I ordered it as a replacement. We are currently running ESXi 4 and I wanted to know if I can swap the hard drive on or it will take some configurations, such as moving of virtual machines, etc.?

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  If the controller supports and if the drives are hot swappable to actually do this way. Replace the drive in a RAID 1With the host turned off, it's like playing Russian roulette, because you don't know which drive is synchronized to that. However, this does not mean that I do not recommend to have a current backup of the virtual machine in case something does not work as expected.

• DDR3 memory (HP Proliant DL380 G7) Configuration

  This sentence below is the background of my question. If you want more information, you can view the details in the table titled "speed chart DIMM slot/ability/busy" in the HP DL380 G7 QuickSpecs here http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13595_na/13595_na.html#Memory

  I think to add more memory to each host. The resulting configuration of DIMMS will take me to 3 DIMMS per channel essentially lower my max speed of 1333 MHz to 800 MHz DIMMS.

  My question is how would I expect the performance with this low speed DIMM? Increased available processor speeds and County base on these models will allow me to support much more VMs on a host but will require my current memory standard for change. Will he suffer performance due to reduced speed DIMM?

  Current situation:

  2 - DIMM per channel (12-8 GB DIMMS)

  1333 MHz

  96 GB

  Proposed:

  3 - DIMM per channel (18-8 GB DIMMS)

  actually 800 MHz

  144 GB

  If I had to guess at this stage, I would say that most low speed channels make the most sense for a virtual environment.

  I agree here and given that the processor is suitable for 3 DIMMs per channel that makes sense.
