Hi, A few weeks ago we experienced the same "ciss0: ADAPTER HEARTBEAT FAILED" problem on a dl380 g5 with the HP SmartArray E200 and also the HP SmartArray P400 on FreeBSD 6.2. After booting in verbose mode I saw in dmesg an: ciss0: command status 0x1 (target status) scsi status 0x2 (probe1:ciss0:0:1:0): error 22 (probe1:ciss0:0:1:0): Unretryable Error That was with firmware version 1.20. After upgrading to firmware version 1.78 this error message was gone. I am still not sure what caused this heartbeat failed problem, but I'm running a stresstest for a week now on a michine with and without the latest firmware. Both have an E200 controller. I hope the machine without the latest firmware will have the same heartbeat failed problem soon, and the one with the latest firmware will keep running. That would prove that the firmware update was indeed the solution. My problem at the moment, because we have multiple servers using the same configuration is to find out what firmware version the Smart Array has without having to reboot the machine. I've tried several methods, but none show the firmware version (except rebooting, but that's not really an option). I've found the tool hpacucli, which should do the trick, but I can't get version 7.50 running on FreeBSD 6.2. Has anyone got any ideas how I could handle this problem? Greetings, Blikjeham.
