HP ProLiant ML350 G6 powerup issue

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



I present my issue in a few
steps:





  1. Power
    cables disconnected (no power coming to
    server)

  2. Re-connect
    cables

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

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

  5. 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 - 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?

ubuntu - Monitoring CPU, Mem, disk, on a single server

I've been looking for a simple starter solution for monitoring my [currently] single server hosted solution. Other than Nagios and similar, are there other good (simple) solutions people are using? Answer Everything depends on what you want. For example Munin is very simple, you can install and configure it in less then 10 minutes (on one server), it can sends alarms, make graphs from monitoring cpu, mem. apache connections, eaccellerator, disk io and many many more (it has many plugins). But if you are planning in future get some more machines, munin may not be enough. For example in munin you cant monitor state of individual processes, can't monitor changes in files (for security purpose). So if you wanna only see what is the utilization of basics parameters on your server and don't plan to buy some more servers Munin is what you are looking for, but if you wanna be alarmed when some of your service is down, take more control on what is happeninig on...

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, ...
