HP ProLiant ML350 G6 powerup issue

My setup: HP ProLiant ML350 G6 (2x PSU/redundant)

I present my issue in a few steps:

Power cables disconnected (no power coming to server)

Re-connect cables

Press "Power button" -> I can see green lights, I can hear fans spinning (it's actually quite loud) and server will power up fine

Now if I power down server (but keep power cables on the back as they are)

Press "Power button" -> I can see green lights, but there is no fans sound coming out and server will not power up at all. All seems fine, correct lights, but no beeps and no video output on the screen. It just stays black.

In order to power up the server again. I need to disconnect both power cables from PSUs (on the back) and then re-connect them back and upon pressing the power button we are back at step no.3 and all is fine, until next restart.

I have tried following:

connect one power cable from mains and the other from APC -> same result

connect both power cables from APC -> same result

disconnect APC "data" cable from PC -> same result

Am I missing something here? This is very annoying when we have to remotely restart server for weekly (un)happiness of Windows Updates.

Looked at all BIOS settings but there is nothing really there that could point into this issues. There are some Power options (aka Economy settings etc) but all is left as default.

Any ideas would be welcomed. Thanks.

linux - Awstats - outputting stats for merged Access_logs only producing stats for one server's log

I've been attempting this for two weeks and I've accessed countless number of sites on this issue and it seems there is something I'm not getting here and I'm at a lost. I manged to figure out how to merge logs from two servers together. (Taking care to only merge the matching domains together) The logs from the first server span from 15 Dec 2012 to 8 April 2014 The logs from the second server span from 2 Mar 2014 to 9 April 2014 I was able to successfully merge them using the logresolvemerge.pl script simply enermerating each log and > out_putting_it_to_file Looking at the two logs from each server the format seems exactly the same. The problem I'm having is producing the stats page for the logs. The command I've boiled it down to is /usr/share/awstats/tools/awstats_buildstaticpages.pl -configdir=/home/User/Documents/conf/ -config=example.com awstatsprog=/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot/cgi-bin/awstats.pl dir=/home/User/Documents/parced -month=all -year=all...

iLO 3 Firmware Update (HP Proliant DL380 G7)

The iLO web interface allows me to upload a .bin file ( Obtain the firmware image (.bin) file from the Online ROM Flash Component for HP Integrated Lights-Out. ) The iLO web interface redirects me to a page in the HP support website ( http://www.hp.com/go/iLO ) where I am supposed to find this .bin firmware, but no luck for me. The support website is a mess and very slow, badly categorized and generally unusable. Where can I find this .bin file? The only related link I am able to find asks me about my server operating system (what does this have to do with the iLO?!) and lets me download an .iso with no .bin file And also a related question: what is the latest iLO 3 version? (for Proliant DL380 G7, not sure if the iLO is tied to the server model)

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, ...
