Dell Power Edge T610 : iDrac6 communication failure

$
0
0

Bonjour à tous,

j'ai un problème avec mon serveur Dell Power Edge T610.

En effet au démarrage du serveur, il affiche ce message d'alerte dans le POST "iDRAC6 communication failure" puis redémarrage du serveur. puis me demande de faire F1 pour continuer  mais c'est accepter que le serveur peut s’arrêter sans avertissement ou F2 pour entrer dans le setup. Quand je choisis F1 pour continuer, le serveur boote  mais on note une lenteur au niveau du système d'exploitation et la perte de connexion constante donc impossible aux utilisateurs de travailler.

S'il vous plaît aidez moi!!!!!!!

Poweredge R310 cant seem to update BMC firmware

Gday all

Got a poweredge R310, 

No idrac6 Express

No idrac6 Enterprise

Windows Server 2012 R2

Trying to go through and update all firmwares on it.

Using tools SUU, and also direct downloads of firmware files...plus Repository manager (made the bootable linux ISO and booted with latest versions...)

So far have managed to update just about all items...to (current)

But no matter what I can't get the BMC firmware to budge from V1.70

Tried v1.90, and latest v1.92

So far that's 4 different ways of trying to get the firmware to update... but each one fails

R310_ESM_Firmware_H1NY7_WN32_1.90_A00.EXE
R310_ESM_Firmware_FYDCF_WN32_1.92_A00.EXE

Both fail with bmcfwuw.exe has stopped working

Linux boot CD made from repository manager goes through the motions of performing an update....but fails with an error also

Any tips?

Thanks

PE 2950 III - SUU cannot update Broadcom NetXtreme firmware

$

We have a PowerEdge 2650 Gen III running Windows 2003 SP2 Standard Edition.  

We are using Dell SUU (SUU_740_Q42013_A00) to try to update the firmware of our Broadcom NetXtreme NICs.  The update fails very early on, throwing up a Windows error dialogue that says something is "not a valid 32bit application."  A peer suggested that he had had success in running the update directly from the Repository directory.  But the same thing happened when we tried that.  My guess would be that this is a known issue.  

The NICs in question are Broadcom BCM5708C NetXtreme II GigE

Here's the log:

Poweredge 840 won't let me access the bios (Black Screen)

$

Hey guys!

I picked up an old Poweredge 840 couple months ago from a friend and wanted to tinker with it.

I had it working with windows server 2008 R2 and played around with it. I then took out the raid card since it kept breaking and reinstalled the OS and it worked fine.

I unplugged it and left for a month or so and now when I boots up and posts then it says it needs to enter set-up mode. So I click F2 and it just goes to a black screen. So now I cant boot into windows or get into the bios. 

I've tried removing the CMOS battery and checking the sticks of ram and its still does it. I have no clue why its doing this, it was working fine. 

Any help would be great! Thanks guys!

PERC S300 freezes when booting Server T110 II

$

Hi all,

I've been dealing with this issue lately.

I have a RAID 1 configured with two 1TB HDDs on a PE T110 II Server with Perc S300 card and most of the times (8/10 times) when starting up or rebooting the Server, it freezes right at the S300 screen when showing the CTRL+R to configure legend and a "/" clocking.

To fix it I have to do a hard shutdown, disconnect the AC power, wait for at least 30 seconds and reconnect.

I already updated BIOS to V 2.8, and the PERC S300 drivers to the latest version as follows:

Driver Version2.0.0-0162
Storport Driver Version6.1.7601.18386

I verified on the OpenManage that the card has no issues, nor the physical disks or the virtual disk. Also, I removed the S300 Card, cleaned the port, changed the array to the other slot, but nothing.

Any suggestions? Could it be a hardware issue even that there is no failure detected in the OpenManage? Btw, I ran the DSET report too but no signs of a card failure.

Thanks in advance,

Isaac

PowerEdge R610 RAM config?

$

0

Guys,

We recently ordered 32GB of RAM (2 16's)  for our R610 but cannot get the configuration right. 

Our setup is as follows:

(4) 1GB sticks

(2) 16GB sticks

What is the proper way to configure this RAM installation? 

We tried a lot of combinations but could not get it to be recognized.  We ended up putting the original (4) 1GB sticks back in, which works fine. 

We looked at this PDF, but it was not much help for us.

[PowerEdge R720] PCIe Training Error : Slot x

$

0

Hello,

I bought a PowerEdge R720 for my french DataCenter in Paris. I'm located in Montréal, Canada.

The purpose of this server was to capture Over The Air signal and stream it using many Hauppauge WinTV HVR-2200 cards.

I'm already using a bunch of these cards in many servers, including Dell servers. It always worked perfectly. But not with the new one. I always got messages PCIe Training error : Slot 6.

If i keep cold reboot it, sometimes it passes that step, but all cards are not recognized, only one. And the one recognized doesn't work properly.

I contacted the french support, and it have been headaches until now : They are telling me that card is not compatible with this server (i still don't know why). They doesn't want to support that server! 

They told me to upgrade firmwares, what i've done, but it's still not working. 

I don't know what to do to have my setup working. I already saw a lot of posts of that type in this forum, so i hope that someone will answer me. I was happy about Dell until then. But i have to admit that i'm really disappointed : french support doesn't seems to have any tech skills. When someone tell you that this card can't work because you don't have a graphic card in the server ... It's demoralizing ! 

Thanks. 

Problem upgrading memory on T110 II

We currently have 4G of this ram and it works

https://www.skhynix.com/products/computing/view.jsp?info.ramKind=20&info.serialNo=HMT351U7BFR8A

We purchased 8G of this type

https://www.skhynix.com/products/computing/view.jsp?info.ramKind=20&info.serialNo=HMT351U6CFR8C

the only difference between them seems to be the voltage.

Please note we are not trying to mix them together, we are just trying the new memory and the server won't boot. It displays the 1/3 error (memory misconfiguration).

We also tried a few more options with ecc and none of them worked.

The processor is 

 Processor E3-1220

 

thank you

Server has PCIE Error: System Software event: OS Stop sensor, run-time critical stop was asserted

We have a Dell PowerEdge R710 that has an orange error message on the front, saying E171F PCIe Fatal Error on Bus 0 Device 9 Function 0. Review & clear.

When I looked at the Dell OpenManage software I get the errors detailed below:-

Status: Critical Thu Jul 17 09:40:53 2014  System Software event: OS Stop sensor, run-time critical stop was asserted
Status: OK  Thu Jul 17 09:40:48 2014  Err Reg Pointer: Link Tuning sensor, OEM Diagnostic data event was asserted
Status: Critical  Thu Jul 17 09:40:48 2014  PCIE Fatal Err: Critical Event sensor, bus fatal error (Bus 0 Device 9 Function 0) was asserted
Status: Critical Thu Jul 17 09:40:48 2014  PCIE Fatal Err: Critical Event sensor, bus fatal error (Slot 3) was asserted

How can we resolve these errors? I have looked around and cannot see any answer to this fault. The Server restarted successfully on Friday, but we are worried that it will not do so in the future.

Thank you.

Serious Problem with R200

I am having a serious problem with my Dell R200.  I can't seem to get it to boot using the SBUU.  I downloaded the ISO, burned it to DVD, and attempted to boot from it.

I get boot device is not available, press F1 or F2 for setup.

The BIOS recognizes the DVD ROM.

I downloaded the SBUU ISO from

ftp://ftp.dell.com/Pages/Drivers/poweredge-r200.html

I am at a loss.  I have never encountered such a situation.  Some help would be appreciated.

R210 II NIC driver for Windows 7 x64

$

Good day!


I apologize in advance if this has been answered before, but a searched provided no results.

I am trying to install a R210 II server with Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit. The OS, unfortunately, cannot be Server 2008 R2 as the client requires SCADA software that is only supported on Windows 7.


I would think that the driver designed for Server 2008 R2 should still work on Windows 7 Professional, but when trying to install the driver package (Broadcom NIC) the installer quits stating it is only applicable to Server 2008/R2, etc.


Does anyone have an alternative for me?


Win7 does install a Microsoft provided driver, but returns a "Device cannot start" error in Device Manager, which I usually find is driver-related.

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to get a USB drive to passthrough to a VM hosted on a R720. I can't get ESXi nor the VM to recognize the device. I have tried various things, including enabling passthrough on the USB controllers, different USB ports, different drives. Any ideas?

Also, I now can't get my USB controllers out of passthrough mode. I unmark them for passthrough, reboot, but they still show as enabled for passthrough.

TIA

Hi,

We have a new PowerEdge R720 server with 16 GB RAM (2x8GB). We could not get the server to boot. After booting it gets stuck at "Configuring Memory ... Done" and on the LCD screen it displays "Booting". On the other hand, we get the error message "RAC0501: There are no physical disks ..." on the iDRAC page. Could you help us resolve these problems? Thank you
