hp - Proliant server will not accept new hard disks in RAID 1+0?



I have a HP ProLiant DL380 G5, I have two logical drives configured with RAID. I have one logical drive RAID 1+0 with two 72 gb 10k sas 1 port spare no 376597-001.



I had one hard disk fail and ordered a replacement. The configuration utility showed error and would not rebuild the RAID. I presumed a hard disk fault and ordered a replacement again. In the mean time I put the original failed disk back in the server and this started rebuilding. Currently shows ok status however in the log I can see hardware errors.



The new disk has come and I again have the same problem of not accepting the hard disk.




I have updated the P400 controller with the latest firmware 7.24 , but still no luck.



The only difference I can see is the original drive has firmware 0103 (same as the RAID drive) and the new one has HPD2.



Any advice would be appreciated.



Thanks in advance

Answer



You may have a spare (replacement) drive whose size in sectors is slightly less than the original drive.



What operating system are you using? We can look at the hpacucli output to determine this for sure.



I will update this answer once we get more information.



Edit:



See my answer on: Smart Array P400i Physical Drive failed after being replaced for the tool download link for Windows 2008...




I'm specifically looking for the output of ctrl all show config.





Edit:



Now that I've seen your hpacucli output, you're in an incredibly rare situation.



  logicaldrive 1 (68.5 GB, RAID 1, Interim Recovery Mode)


  physicaldrive 2I:1:1 (port 2I:box 1:bay 1, SAS, 73.5 GB, OK)
  physicaldrive 2I:1:2 (port 2I:box 1:bay 2, SAS, 72 GB, Failed


Your original 72GB drives were actually larger than 72GB. As you can see, your healthy disk is a 73.5GB disk. HP changes disk manufacturers during the product lifetime, keeping the same spare part numbers. In this case, the replacement sent to you is a true 72GB drive. The rebuild would definitely not work.



The only thing that can fix this one is an equal or larger-size physical drive. Simply send this output to HP and ask for a 146GB disk if you're under warranty. If you're not under warranty, just get a 146GB disk and it'll rebuild as a "68.5 GB" RAID-1 member.



Also, ask for a 10k RPM 146GB disk. Your old 72GB disk is a 10k RPM (which was discontinued in that capacity LONG ago). The HP replacement is a 15k RPM drive.

linux - iDRAC6 Virtual Media native library cannot be loaded

When attempting to mount Virtual Media on a iDRAC6 IP KVM session I get the following error: I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and: $ javaws -version Java(TM) Web Start 1.6.0_16 $ uname -a Linux aud22419-linux 2.6.28-15-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 31 13:39:06 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.0.14, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2009 mozilla.org On Windows + IE it (unsurprisingly) works. I've just gotten off the phone with the Dell tech support and I was told it is known to work on Linux + Firefox, albeit Ubuntu is not supported (by Dell, that is). Has anyone out there managed to mount virtual media in the same scenario?

hp proliant - Smart Array P822 with HBA Mode?

We get an HP DL360 G8 with an Smart Array P822 controller. On that controller will come a HP StorageWorks D2700 . Does anybody know, that it is possible to run the Smart Array P822 in HBA mode? I found only information about the P410i, who can run HBA. If this is not supported, what you think about the LSI 9207-8e controller? Will this fit good in that setup? The Hardware we get is used but all original from HP. The StorageWorks has 25 x 900 GB SAS 10K disks. Because the disks are not new I would like to use only 22 for raid6, and the rest for spare (I need to see if the disk count is optimal or not for zfs). It would be nice if I'm not stick to SAS in future. As OS I would like to install debian stretch with zfs 0.71 as file system and software raid. I have see that hp has an page for debian to. I would like to use hba mode because it is recommend, that zfs know at most as possible about the disk, and I'm independent from the raid controller. For us zfs have many benefits,

apache 2.2 - Server Potentially Compromised -- c99madshell

So, low and behold, a legacy site we've been hosting for a client had a version of FCKEditor that allowed someone to upload the dreaded c99madshell exploit onto our web host. I'm not a big security buff -- frankly I'm just a dev currently responsible for S/A duties due to a loss of personnel. Accordingly, I'd love any help you server-faulters could provide in assessing the damage from the exploit. To give you a bit of information: The file was uploaded into a directory within the webroot, "/_img/fck_uploads/File/". The Apache user and group are restricted such that they can't log in and don't have permissions outside of the directory from which we serve sites. All the files had 770 permissions (user rwx, group rwx, other none) -- something I wanted to fix but was told to hold off on as it wasn't "high priority" (hopefully this changes that). So it seems the hackers could've easily executed the script. Now I wasn't able
