intel sever sp3420gplc slow data transfer speeds

August 24, 2013, 2:04 pm

I have a sp3420gplc with 6 Seagate 7200 1TB drives in raid 5 with Hotspare. I am using the onboard matrix raid. I have server 2008 r2 installed. If I copy a 2Gb file from the desktop to another folder on the desktop data transfer speeds is like 1MB /s. I'm using. Driver version 11.6.0.1030 for the matrix raid. Here are the firmware versions.

--------------------------------------

BIOS Version....... S3420GP.86B.01.00.0051
BMC Firmware Version:
   Op Code....... 01.25
   PIA.............. 01.25
   Boot Code.............. 00.22
ME Firmware Version:
   Boot Code: NOT SUPPORTED
HSC Firmware Version:
   Boot Code: 2.17
SDR Version:
   SDR version: SDR Package 0.18

 

 

I think this issue is related to server 2008 cause I have 4 other servers that are Intel with the same OS and the speeds are a little better but not by much.

 

If anyone has any suggestions let me know I have been troubleshooting this for a while now.

SRCSAS18E re: drive lights

Hello all: We have a server running an SRCSAS18E board(or its onboard,not sure)

 

We had our boot drive mirror fail. I am going to be swapping out the failed drive in hopes that it will rebuild.

 

My actual question is related to some of the other drives in the server  2 of the 6 working drive lights are solid green while the others flash normally. i'm not sure if the solid green started after the drive failure or not.

 

Any ideas as to what the solid drive lights mean? they are both solid green which is better than Red. The server has not been rebooted.

I have a remote server running an S1200BTS board.  I'm getting some odd problems, which I think may be BIOS related.  How can I get the current BIOS version remotely through Windows Server 2008, and can I update the BIOS remotely through Windows, or do I need to send someone onsite to do it?

 

Thanks.

Trouble shooting for Intel Active System Console

Hi,

 

My customer would like to notify hardware events by using Intel Active System Console(ASC).

He configured [Configuration] - [Basic Email] and [Advanced Email] in ASC.

And he tested notify the event removing power supply unit(lost PS redundancy).

However an appliance did not send notfication email to the customer.

Another appliance late and sent the email.

 

The customer has two question about ASC.

 

Q1. How often does ASC watch hardware?

I got some logs from appliance which stored under /var/log/asc/.

 

services.log recorded the following event.

Thu Jul 25 19:15:01 JST 2013 :- Sanity check on required ASC services ---

ascpolicy                        : DEAD

Restarting ascpolicy...

Thu Jul 25 19:18:01 JST 2013 :- Sanity check on required ASC services ---

ascpolicy                        : OK

 

It seems to check ASC services everey 3 minutes. Is it interval of checking for system status?

If not, how often frequency is it?

 

Q2. How the customer can solve or investigate the issue?

The customer wants to solve the problem that an email is not transmitted when the hardware issue is occured.

I don't know what kind of information we should collect to investigate trouble of ASC.

 

The customer captured tcpdump while he is testing but any smtp packets did not tranmitted when he removed power supply unit.

 

I already got some logs from under /var/log/asc/. If any other step to investigate this issue please let me know.

 

Thanks and Regards,

Hi

I have some questions about the Intel Server Board S1200KPR and i hope somebody can help me.


I build a new Homeserver with the following components


- Intel E3-1265Lv2

- Intel S1200KPR

- OS: Windows Hyper-V 2012 Core


I would like to create RAID Arrays for my data. One RAID1 Array and One RAID5 Array.


1. In the Download section for this board is a donwload called "Intel RAID Web Console 2". This is the same Software which is use with Intel RAID Controllers. Can i use this Software to connect  remotely to the OnBoard RAID Controller or is it only for use with Intel RAID Controller in PCIe Slots?

2. Can i use a Intel RAID Controller (for example RT3WB080) designed for Intel Xeon E5 Prosessors with this board? I cannot find any Informations if this combinations is compatible.

3. Anyone use this board with a RAID Controller? Which one?

 

Kind regards

How to reset "Physical Scrty" on S2600GZ ?

Hello Everybody,

 

I have several servers on platform R2224GZ4GCSAS.

After power on the BMC sensor value "Physical Scrty" is 0x0000 and it's Ok. But after 30-60 minutes it switches to 0x0010. It cause warning in ESXi "System unplugged". Does anybody know how to reset this value to 0x0000 and why it switches to 0x0010 ?

 

NOTE: if I unplug all LAN cables it resets to 0x0000. It's funny but I can't use server without LAN connection. :-)

 

Thanks,

Sergey

Unable to boot to IDA v5 on S2600CP

I've been pulling out my hair trying to solve this, a new S2600CP Board, dual Xeon E5-2630s, is unable to boot to the IDA v5. I've tried several different types of media, including USB boot, and several copies of the disc, however I always receive a "Unable to access boot device" error.

 

So far I've replaced RAM (Currently using 16GB of Crucial workstation RAM), both processors (tried with a single processor as well), multiple boards (fully up-to-date firmware), every SATA configuration, and several different methods of booting to the IDA.

 

I'm at complete loss here.

Installing Server 2008 R2 with S2600CP2 using onboard esrt2 RAID

August 2, 2013, 3:34 pm

I am trying to install Server 2008 R2 onto a new server.  The server is using an S2600CP2 motherboard, and I have configured it in BIOS to use the esrt2 onboard RAID.  I was then able to get into the RAID BIOS and configure 3 of my 4 drives to run as a RAID5 virtual drive.  the last drive has been marked as a hot spare.

 

the problem I am having is that I can't seem to find a driver during the windows installation that will allow me to recognize the virtual drive.  I have even gone so far as to remove the virtual drive and boot to 4 blank drives, and have yet to have the option to install even onto a single drive.

 

For adddtional information, I am using the RKSATA8R5 upgrade key for RAID5 support in the esrt2 configuration.  The sata ports being used by the drives are SATA0-3, and the SAS/SATA ports 0-7 are not being used.  Also, strangely, the DVD drive is not being recognized by the Windows installer, either... it is using the SATA5 port.

 

Can anyone point me in the direction of the right drivers for installation of Server 2008 R2, or offer ideas on what might be wrong with my configuration?

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

FALSASMP Midplane - Couple Questions

September 5, 2013, 9:18 am

Hello,

 

I apologize if any information is incorrect or if I sound like an idiot beforehand. Anyway, I have a FALSASMP midplane sitting inside of an Intel SR2500 2u case which is paired with an Intel S5000XAL motherboard. This machine has been built from scratch and is running perfectly, however, I am unable to set up a HW (Hardware) RAID using my new FALSASMP Active Midplane.

 

When I first purchased the midplane, I was under the assumption and the sway of an Intel tech that I would not require the AXXMINIDIMM or the AXXRAK18E (Raid Activation Key) in order to build a RAID 10 array. I did not purchase these so I am currently running the FALSASMP without a RAK or MINIDIMM and it's working fine as a pass-through device (IT mode if I am correct). However, I want it to run in IR mode, and I can't seem to figure out why I can't get it into this mode. My questions are listed below, I did a ton of research online about this but I was unable to find much. Many thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

 

1.) The firmware on the FALSASMP is the 1.11 - IT, I found what I believe is a firmware update at the link below. I did download and make an attempt to flash the firmware, but when using the EFI shell to run the script I get an error stating "No LSI adapters found! Limited Command Set Available! SASFlash Version is: 1.20.00.00." Is there something I am missing here? Do I need to update the firmware to the 1.20 version on the midplane?

Firmware downloaded:

Download Center

 

2.) Do I require the AXXRAK18E and the AXXMINIDIMM?

 

 

Extra Notes:

- No this is NOT the FALSASMP2 midplane

- No warranty available

- I want use this box for an ESXi setup, so a SW (Software) RAID is not an option. (Unless someone knows a way around this, please let me know).

- I am not sure on the type of back-plane being used (what model) but if it's required, I can find it. I do know it's SATA and I have 4 1TB sata drives installed.

- Yes I understand these parts are old, but what was originally going to be a developer's play house turned into a more serious build (Won't be production but will house several very useful business tools).

ARK | Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAK18E

ARK | 128MB Mini DIMM Registered DDR2 for RAID Cache AXXMINIDIMM

 

Once again, any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you!!

S5000pslsata Server Board Broken Raid 5 Array

I have a customer that has a Intel server with S5000PSLSATA system board.  Server has been running fine for some time (5 Years). The server has 6 750Gb Seagate drives.  2 of the drives are configured as Global Hot Spares.  The rest of the drives (4) are configured as a Raid 5 array.  Last week, the server locked up and had to be rebooted.  The customer called me when the server would not come up.  The 2 global spares had died. The server was trying to rebuild the raid array because another drive was also failing.  I had to order two more drives so i returned the server to the office for repair. When I started the server back up and entered into the embedded raid utility, I noticed that two of the good raid drives showed READY and two of the other drives showed ONLIN A00-00 and ONLIN A00-01.  The virtual drive still shows the raid 5 array with a size of 2.14TB but the status is degraded.  Is there a way to add the two ready drives back to the existing array and let it rebuild without losing data?

 

Thanks for all your help.

S3420GPLC-based system does not recognize size of Seagate ST4000NM0033 4 TB disk correctly

July 31, 2013, 5:40 pm

Hi,

 

today I got my brand new ST4000NM0033 Constellation ES.3 4TB drive.

 

I plugged it into my server (Intel S3420GPLC motherboard, onboard SATA controller) and - bad surprise - I saw a size of only 1801 GB (BIOS level) and 1678 GB (Windows Server 2008 R2 level).

Switching between MBR and GPT modes in Windows did not make any differences.

 

Intel claims it should support drives larger than 2 TB (see http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-032920.htm).

 

So I plugged it into my IcyBox and hooked it up to my PC (Win 7 x64) by means of USB 2.0. Same story - only 1678 GB are recognized.

 

Then, I used the same IcyBox and connected it to the same PC by means of e-SATA. And what a surprise - it was properly recognized at 3726 GB, and I created and formated a partition of this size.

 

Finally, I plugged it back into my S3420GPLC Server. The ServerManager GUI tool now Claims 3726 GB, but diskpart stays at 1678 GB.

 

Now the 300€ question (that's about what I paid for the disk):

how do I get my server to recognize the full capacity consistently? How much data can I actually put on it?

 

Any help would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks a lot,

Tom
