hello i want to reinstall the windows operation system in DL380 G5 server, i want to get the DL380 G5 smart array p400 controller driver for SAS hard disk , could you sent me the download link for that?
because the server can not boot properly because the smart array P400 problem , how could we to install System ROM to revision P58 3/9/08 or higher , HP MSA 60 and/or MSA 70 firmware version to 2.16 and the upgrade from smart array P400 ?
smart array p400 controller driver
I have a HP ProLiant ML110 G4 with a HP Smart Array P400 (eBay purchase) RAID controller. I am hoping to use ESXi 5.0. The problem is that for RAID LUN's larger than 2TB there is an issue with the cciss driver as detailed =0&tstart=0 and =en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200694.... I noticed however that states the cciss driver is deprecated in favour of hpsa which is now included in the mainline Linux kernel. _esxi50_hp_hpsa_500240/dHRAYnRAZWpiZHAlJQ== makes me think that hpsa driver is available and possibly might even be a solution to the aforementioned problem. However, when I installed ESXi (by setting up a
Use lspci -p to compare the PCI id for your controller against the two driver map files. I think you'll find it in cciss mapping file rather the hpsa file, and thus it is the driver that is loaded. Before you try to make changes to the mapping files you could try this
According to the P400 controller is supported with ESXi 5.1. What you may need to keep in mind is that there's still an issue with the drivers so that you are currently limited to 2TB logical volumes (see for details)
I've got a 3ware 9650SE RAID controller too which I wanted to use but seeing as it only supports SATA I thought it would be more cost saving to use the P400 due to the fact I've got a shed load of SAS drives. I'll use the 9650SE for a data RAID array.
I'm trying to get work the Smart Array p410i in my HP Z220 SFF, but can't pass the initial controller setup. When i made the raid and other setup with my drives i press esc to get out from the array setup, the Z220 reboot and get me in the array setup every time. With the array installed i also can't go in the BIOS
The Ubuntu HP Dynamic Smart Array Driver (hpdsa) allows you to use b-series array controllers (and only b-series array controllers) in "smart array mode." If you disable smart array mode on your b-series controller ProLiant's ROM based setup utility (RBSU), the open-source, in-distro ahci driver will pickup the device automatically and you do not need to use the hpdsa driver. However, if you want to utilize the latest storage management tools from HP, or migrate your volumes to a hardware-based p-series Smart Array in the future, you'll want to use the HP Dynamic Smart Array driver with your hardware in smart array mode.
NOTICE! The hpdsa driveris no longer being developed past the versions indicated. Do not upgrade theUbuntu kernel or try to use this binary driver with Xenial. If you have aB-series Smart Array, it is advised to use the Linux md (software raid) driver,or upgrade to an H or P series hardware-based host bus adapter. hpdsa-1.2.4-140.ubuntu14.04.1.x86_64.img.gzUbuntu 14.04.1 hpdsa-1.2.4-140.ubuntu14.04.2.x86_64.img.gzUbuntu 14.04.2 Install Ubuntu with the hpdsa driver Flash a USB key with one of the above disc images, using /dev/sdc1 as the example usb partition: gunzip hpdsa-1.2.4-140.ubuntu14.04.2.x86_64.img.gz dd if=hpdsa-1.2.4-140.ubuntu14.04.2.x86_64.img of=/dev/sdc1 Enable the Smart Array controller in the Rom-based Setup Utility (RBSU) Insert the USB key which contains the driver update image (above) Mount the Ubuntu Server DVD iso image via the ILO virtual media. Reboot the server Press the F11 key to manually select the ILO virtual media to boot Boot the installation media At the grub boot menu press E to edit the kernel command line At this point, append the following to the linux kernel command line (after the "--"). inst.dd modprobe.blacklist=ahci Press F10 or Ctrl-X to confirm the kernel command line and boot the installation kernel. Continue the installation, when prompted by the installer to load drivers from internal virtual driver disks, select Yes At the "Finish the installation" screen, press Alt-F2 to access a vitual console and issue the following commands: chroot /target echo "blacklist ahci" > /etc/modprobe.d/install-hpdsa.conf depmod `uname -r` #note: use ticks, not apostrophes here. update-initramfs -u exit press Alt-F1 to return to the Finish screen Press Enter to complete the installation and reboot the server
Note: The above controllers are listed as no longer supported by the HP/HPE for use with the hpsa driver. You can try updating firmware to the latest versions, and that may get the cards at least recognized by the driver in some cases. However, since the vendor does not support these cards using the hpsa driver, if the card fails in any way we are unable to provide support as we're unable to engage the vendor through partner relationships for hardware they no longer support.
The hpsa driver has the following module option hpsa_allow_any=1. This module option allows the use of PCI IDs that are not listed in the driver's pci-id table (recognition of Smart Array cards that are not tested/qualified with the hpsa driver). To make the installer detect the controller at install time, pass the following hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 at the install prompt. Per the RHEL 7 release notes, any cards detected by using this option are not supported by Red Hat.
Monitoring your disks is important so that you can know to replace any disks that may be failing. The following is how you can manually fetch the status of a disk in array. The first time you want to monitor the smart status of your disks, you must install the smartmontools package.
After that, you can use smartctl to fetch the status of any particular disk in the array. Just change the number after the comma (,) to indicate which drive in the array you care about. The following example checks the second disk. Changing the 1 to a 0 would check the first disk. 2ff7e9595c
