It looks like that: shutdown: reboot by om ... Syncing disks ... 2 2 2 1 1 1 0 done All buffers synced. Uptime: 3m54s. and then -nothing- : it hangs, but it really should reboot... Sometimes it continues with some lines about irq's, followed by "Rebooting..." : all fine, but there is about 20% chances it happens. Any guess about what I should try?

I know very little of > FreeBSD (this is my first attempt). We're running 6.1 on DL360 G2, G3 and G4 for several weeks. No issues so far, except there doesn't seem to be a way to monitor the hardware (fans and temperature) under FreeBSD. (G5 vs. G4 shouldn't make a difference in that regard, though.) By the way, I recommend up-to-date 6-stable (RELENG_6) instead of 6.1-RELEASE. A few minor things have been fixed since then. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

The SAS models of generation G4 and all G5 have SAS RAID controllers. While at least some of them should be supported be ciss(4) as well, I would rather stick to DL360 G4 SCSI model since its SmartArray 6i RAID controller is well tested. BTW don't forget to order the optional so called BBWC battery-backed write cache enabler if you rely on good write performance. Without it, the controller cache is used to read operations only as data consistency cannot be guaranteed without the BBWC's battery in case of power outage. As already said, monitoring of fans, temperature and power supplies does not work (luckily outages are *very* seldom). Hard drive outages are being reported by the ciss(4) driver ... Some excerpt from /var/log/messages: Disk of a RAID 1 logical drive fails: | Jul 7 07:59:41 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** Physical drive failure: SCSI port 2 ID 0 | Jul 7 07:59:41 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0 | Jul 7 07:59:41 XXX kernel: ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status OK ->interim recovery, spare status 0x0 Pulled broken disk: | Jul 7 08:16:23 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** Hot-plug drive removed: SCSI port 2 ID 0 Inserted fresh disk, resync starts automatically: | Jul 7 08:17:42 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** Hot-plug drive inserted: SCSI port 2 ID 0 | Jul 7 08:17:42 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0 | Jul 7 08:17:42 XXX kernel: ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status interim recovery->ready for recovery, spare status 0x0 | Jul 7 08:17:42 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0 | Jul 7 08:17:42 XXX kernel: ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status ready for recovery->recover ing, spare status 0x0 Resync done: | Jul 7 08:53:27 XXX kernel: ciss0: *** State change, logical drive 0 | Jul 7 08:53:27 XXX kernel: ciss0: logical drive 0 (da0) changed status recovering->OK, spare status 0x0 BTW if space and money permits, I would go for the DL385 since the Opteron CPUs run much cooler than the Xeons and give you superior performance. In difference to the DL360, the DL380 (Xeon-based) and DL380 (Opteron-based) are easier to expand and much more reliable when it comes to the fans. Due to its larger diameter they can ran at lower revs. -cs From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Jul 15 03:56:20 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1309716A4DD for ; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 03:56:20 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from freebsd@hub.org) Received: from hub.org (hub.org [200.46.204.220]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9371243D45 for ; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 03:56:19 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from freebsd@hub.org) Received: from localhost (wm.hub.org [200.46.204.128]) by hub.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 88760290C37; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:56:18 -0300 (ADT) Received: from hub.org ([200.46.204.220]) by localhost (mx1.hub.org [200.46.204.128]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id 13108-05; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 03:56:18 +0000 (UTC) Received: from ganymede.hub.org (blk-224-179-167.eastlink.ca [24.224.179.167]) by hub.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0C6F7290C29; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:56:18 -0300 (ADT) Received: by ganymede.hub.org (Postfix, from userid 1027) id A71FE3839D; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:56:17 -0300 (ADT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ganymede.hub.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A59C13769F; Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:56:17 -0300 (ADT) Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2006 00:56:17 -0300 (ADT) From: User Freebsd To: Christoph Schug In-Reply-To: <20060714103534.GI4510@voodoo.schug.net> Message-ID: <20060715005517.P1799@ganymede.hub.org> References: <200607140712.k6E7CCow020898@lurza.secnetix.de> <20060714103534.GI4510@voodoo.schug.net> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Cc: freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: hp ProLiant DL360 G4 or G5 on FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE?

I'm running the HP DL360 G4p / SAS with the RAID controller and ciss driver, and haven't experienced any problems so far ... have 2 servers online so far, and a third on order ... ---- Marc G.

I am having the same =20 problems as other people are having =20 (http://www.google.com/bsd?hl=3Den&lr=3D&q=3Dgenius+slimstar+pro&btnG=3DSear= ch) =20 with this keyboard. There seems to be no resolution to this problem short =20 of buying a new keyboard. The problem I'm having is when you hit any key, other than enter, on =20 the USB keyboard, it outputs garbage (extended ASCII characters like the spades symbol, for =20 example). If I hit d, it is the same as hitting ctrl+d. It does output the same symbols =20 for each key, so at least there is some consistency :) I also have a AT keyboard plugged in which works as it should until I =20 hit a key on the USB keyboard. If I hit a key on the USB keyboard, the AT keyboard =20 starts outputting the same characters as the USB keyboard. I have also tried without the AT =20 keyboard plugged in, there is no change. I read in another post that disabling all legacy AT support in the =20 kernel could fix this. I tried this to no avail. When I use kbdcontrol -i for any keyboard, I get the following =20 message: kbdcontrol: unable to obtain keyboard information: Inappropriate ioctl for device. =20 When I try a kbdcontrol -k /dev/ukbd0 I get the message: kbdcontrol: cannot open =20 /dev/ukbd0: Device busy. When I try to disconnect the USB keyboard from the kbmux, I get: =20 kbdcontrol: unable to obtain keyboard information: Inappropriate ioctl for device. The important lines at boot up, in order of appearance, are: kbd1 at kbdmux0 atkbdc0: port 0x60,0x64 irq 1 on acpi0 atkbd0: irq 1 on atkbdc0 kbd0 at atkbd0 atkbd0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ukbd0: vendor 0x0458 ABBHOME, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 3, iclass 3/1 kbd2 at ukbd0 What I would find really helpful from you people is any idea's about =20 how to move forward with/resolve this problem. I am happy to trawl through and modify any code. One idea I have, and correct me if I'm wrong, is to get each =20 individual keyscan code from the keyboard and map this into the relating file, ukbd.c or one of the =20 related header files? If anyone is needing any additional info on this one, just yell out =20 and I will get this to you. Thanks in advanced, Sam.
