You can use dmidecode from ports to read a lot of useful information, including BIOS version from a running machine. (Also serial numbers, DIMM configuration, helpful for co-located machines) The FreeBSD Proliant page also has an online flash upgrade for the DL360 R1. I would suggest extreme caution in using this on a production machine, especially a remote one. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Anders Nordby Sent: 22 October 2006 21:26 To: Stefan Hauser Cc: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Compaq DL 360 SMP problem (was: i386/89545: Compaq DL 360 ACPI boot problem) Hi, On Wed, Oct 04, 2006 at 01:13:29PM +0200, Stefan Hauser wrote: >>> Yes, apic is enabled in the kernel that I run.

During its first boot I saw that it doesn't support hardware array, but there was a message on the screen 'nVivia IDE RAID' or something like that and the next message was about having an array of 2 disks. So I was to involve using GMIRROR with my FreeBSD 6.1 box. And recently, after cold power off, one of its disks failed. So the fact of the matter is to find out, is there a hardware RAID 1 support or not and if not what is the messages shown above?

Might be of interest to hear which SAS controller he has which doesn't have the delay. There are several different controllers. E200 is the cheap low end version available, both as PCI-E and module for servers such as DL360 g5, DL380 g5, etc. It also comes in at least 2 versions 64MB Cache or 128MB Battery Backed Write Cache. Then there is the P400, again as PCI-E or module. Again with 2 cache versions, 256MB and 512MB with Battery Backed Write Cache. And then there is the P600, which is PCIX, also in either 256MB or 512MB, both Battery Backed Write Cache. The E200/64MB supports only RAID 0/1, E200/128MB does RAID 0/1/5, while the P400 and P600 do RAID 0/1/5/6. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html From owner-freebsd-proliant@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Oct 25 13:40:48 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6154716A47E for ; Wed, 25 Oct 2006 13:40:48 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from kellyl@sysrq.ca) Received: from mail.sysrq.ca (orion.sysrq.ca [69.54.212.138]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D444C43D58 for ; Wed, 25 Oct 2006 13:40:47 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from kellyl@sysrq.ca) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail.sysrq.ca (Postfix) with ESMTP id 745D0EBC27; Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:40:46 -0400 (EDT) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at sysrq.ca Received: from mail.sysrq.ca ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (orion.sysrq.ca [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10024) with ESMTP id Et9fja5KyBMY; Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:40:36 -0400 (EDT) Received: from calypso (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by mail.sysrq.ca (Postfix) with SMTP id C7C18EBC25; Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:40:35 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: <004801c6f83b$2599e780$6500a8c0@calypso> From: "Kelly Lesperance" To: "Eugene Orlov" , References: <1953532030.20061025111413@big12.ru> Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2006 09:40:33 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2869 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2962 Cc: Subject: Re: Trouble with HP Proliant DL145 G2 X-BeenThere: freebsd-proliant@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: "Technical discussion of FreeBSD on HP ProLiant server platforms."

At first I thought the chipset (nForce Pro) used for the DL145 G2 supports nVidia's RAID, but HP chose not to implement it. HP doesn't list RAID capability in any of the documentation, and I was never able to access a utility to configure it. Now that I research it a bit further, it seems somewhat more complicated. It looks as though nvRAID might be some kind of fake RAID, which is a kind of quasi hardware/software RAID. Basic functionality is incorporated into the hardware, but other functions are performed by the driver. You can find some info here http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#nvidia and here http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Hardware/sata.html#fakeraid. It sounds as though you'd be better served by implementing your own RAID rather than using the nvRAID, which is fortunate, since nVidia hasn't released FreeBSD drivers anyway.

Did you manage to get iLO working while FreeBSD running? I'm experiencing on Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy RX220 and Sun Fire X2200 while running FreeBSD, the remote management stops responding after detecting the NICs...
