RAID Driver for Intel S3000AH motherboard Windows Server 2008 R2

$
0
0

Support for this motherboard has ended.  This board had been purchased 02/01/2007.  However, with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2, it's like breathing new life into a server that still has adequate speed.  Currently I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor in the system with still room to grow.

 

Sadly, there is no W2K8 R2 driver for the Intel Embedded RAID, Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller.

 

Hey INTEL!!!  Can you make a driver please???  I purchased your board with the consideration that I could later upgrade it keeping up with technology.  Thanks in advance.

 

As for other readers, if you know of a 3rd party driver source, please point me in the right direction.

SS4000-E 100% Full Can't access data, enable FTP, or SSH

$

I've been using this Grrrrreat NAS Array and had been working for YEARS. Just last week it is now 100% Full and my share is gone.

 

It has FW fs-bc 1.3-b524,   4 x 500GB HD's   and a 1.3TB shares (but i cant access any of the shares \\share any more), but I can PING the NAS

 

Here is a lot info so you can get idea on the status on the array;

 

 

I can login into browser (using Firfox ver 29) the 3 x Green lights are on, the 4 HD's show (and are powered on and green {even during a bootup they do light up in order top/bottom}) also show Hot plug Indicator (in yellow) they are all  ST3500641AS (465GB each), I can't expand the share (it shows i have only available disk space is -2 MB free), It will not let me enable FTP (the on/off button shows, but will not complete when i enable it), i can't enable SSH (the on button shows, but will not complete when i press it), The SHARED folders show NOT READY backup clients NOT Ready. Under the SYSTEM Status screen  CPU is 100% Idle (all day long, even after a reboot(s)), network IPs are still good, FANs are 1704 RPM, disk temps are 54,35,38 Deg C, i can't even make a XRAY and save the file. I've tried using many ver of IE, Google chrome.


So, now I'm asking this community if you can help me. I've ran out of ideas on what to do. I also have the org Recovery CD's (but the PC i'm using does not support the NIC). Is there ANY WAY I can access the DATA off these HD's from ANY other way? like BOOT a CD using USB, Or access the data and maybe del a folder or 2 to free up some space, so that it will boot up.  or some other Advance HTTP CGI script (fsck check, del temp files..etc), that will enable me to see the boot up, or enable TFTP (i even tried to connect using that) or any other copy job.


i have been reading the posts and i did find out someway  you can make a serial ribbon cable and show the boot up (by taking case off), but i have not tried that part yet.


Any help you can give?


Thank you for your time.

S1200BTS: RAID Option ROM does not show on boot

$

0

Hi all,

 

i bought a machine with an Intel Server Board S1200BTS and I want to configure a disk array using the chipset's features. I selected "RAID" as SATA mode and "RST" as RAID mode in the mass storage controller section of the BIOS setup. But how do i create the RAID array? No option ROM is displayed on boot, i tried hitting Ctrl+E or Ctrl+I anyway but nothing happens. Additionally, no SATA device is available for boot (i suppose because they are now handled by the RAID BIOS that i cannot access). Changing the RAID option to ESRT does not change this behaviour (just tried this for debugging purposes). I also checked the BIOS boot configuration because i think that a seperate boot option should be visible there but it only shows the two NICs and the EFI shell option. I updated the BIOS to the latest version 41 but that did not resolve the problem. Does anyone have a clue what i might be doing wrong here? Quiet boot is disabled by the way. Clearing the CMOS did not help either. If i change the controller mode back to AHCI my disks show up and i can boot from a single disk but this is not what i intend to do.

 

Any help is appreciated because the system was ordered without on-site support and therefore i would have to return it to the dealer (he insists that this feature should be available out of the box).

I encounter error (alert window  "Invalid session token. Authentication failure") when doing Remote KVM  & CD on Intel Modular Server MFSYS35 (see attachment).

I have  restarted the CMM by click SAVE button on the IP Configuration menu  (without change anything) and the CMM restarted but the problem still.

The alert window disappear after restart all the chassis.

 

Is there any other way to get rid of alert window "Invalid session token. Authentication failure" without restart the chassis?

Hello,

 

I have a SR2612UR server with S5520UR board and RS2bl040 raid controller. I have recentrly installed some Samsung SSD's and the performance was improved but after a few days the server rebooted unexpectedly. In Intel Active System Console i found the following logs:

I found on some other forums that C6 State setting from BIOS could cause some troubles and disabling could solve those random reboots. Coult that be the sollution? Is there any side effects for disabling C6 CPU State?

Hello,

 

I have an Intel Multiflex system MFSYS25 with six blades and an Promise vTrak e310s.

4 of the servers have internal storage presented but i want that the other two servers to boot from Promise and use a shared lun. I followed the instructions in the connection guide from intel but when i'm trying to boot the second server, the first one freezes and cannot access the storage.

What is strange, is that even i don;t have any internal storage presented to the servers, in the LSI sas from the blade i see a lun 0 Multiflex V-LUN. How can i disable it?

I have to mention that i use RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.5 on the servers.

 

Please advice,

 

Thank you,

RMM3 Issues

$

Hi,

 

I am having a few issues with RMM3 modules that are installed in 2 servers.

 

To start with my network configuration is as follows:

 

Baseboard NIC(Lan Channel 1)
IP: 192.168.0.201
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
Local Settings
IP: 192.168.0.25
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
RMM NIC(Lan Channel 3)
IP: 192.168.1.201
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
In this configuration I am able to access the RMM web page via the Baseboard NIC, but not the RMM NIC, I am also unable to ping the machine on 192.168.1.201. What would be causing this and how do I fix it so I can use both NIC's?
Another issue I am having is with the Remote Console.
The issue is that the server gets into a state that whenever I try and launch the Remote Console, Jviewer pops up a messages box saying "Error reading video data". Once it is in this state the only way that I am able to fix this issue is physically removing power from the server.
There are 2 methods I have identified so far that cause this issue:
1. The remote machine goes into sleep while a Remote Console session is open.
2. The server is shut down(but still has power) while a Remote Console session is still open.
I really either need a fix for this issue or at minimum a way to get the Remote Console working again once I end up in this state as I do not always have physical access to the machine.
Regards,
Zac

Fan Speed Issue

I bought a new Intel R2208GZ4GC with 2 E5 2680V2 CPU.

 

As a result of a high workload, the CPUs are getting very hot with about 75°C, but the fans are still very low with about 2.418 rpm.

 

My actual bios configuration:

 

Set Fan Profile: performance

Fan PWM Offset: 100

Altitude: 300-900m

Set Throttling Mode: auto

 

OS: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

 

What should I have to do to tell the fans to increase the speed?

 

Thanks,

Intel adapter teaming issue

$

So I went to configure adapter teaming and had nothing but problems.  The wizard would start the process, create the Intel Advanced Network Services Virtual Adapter, then hang and not complete any other parts of the process.  I found out that I was using the wrong version of the software for my adapters (which are Pro/1000 MT Dual Port), installed an older version, and all was good to go... except for the 4 Virtual adapters that were created previously by failed attempts of the wizard.  How do I remove these unused virtual adapters from the server?  Simply trying to uninstall them via the device manager doesn't work.  Neither did removing the teaming software, rebooting the server, or simply trying to delete the network connection.

S2600CP CPU Fan Control

I just built a new server with a S2600CP motherboard, Xeon E5 CPU and BXSTS100C Cooler. It's all up and running quite well, but the CPU fan is LOUD!. It's obviously running at full speed, as you can hear it step up during the boot process. The cooling fins are almost cold due to the high air flow,  is there some way to lower the fans speed and ths reduce the noise coming from this thing?

 

Thanks in advance.

Intel Server Board S2600GZ (Server System R1208GL4DS) & Memory

$

Hello!

 

I've just buy Server Intel R1208GL4DS with two Xeon E5-2620v2 and installed 8 x Crucial 8192Mb DDR3 1600MHz ECC Reg modules (CT8G3ERSLD4160B).

It wont start in spite of all green leds tell me that all is OK.

I've read instruction and found that S2600GZ Server Board is not support 1600MHz low voltage (1.35v) modules.

After it I've tried to install ordinary DDR3 DIMMs (no ECC, no Reg). Result is the same.

 

The question is: server wont start because these types of DIMMs are not supported? Or possible it is something wrong Server Board or CPU?

I'm asking because it will take a very lot of time for me to change DIMMs or/and Board to another.

 

Signs are:

- three green leds are lighting (System Status LED, 12 Volt Stand-By Present LED, System Power Good LED),

- no any leds are lighting, 

- "No signal" monitor screen,

- fans are rotating,

- keyboard "Num lock" not changing.

 

Any help are highly appreciated!

 

With best wishes,

Maxim

S5520UR BMC lost

$

0

Hi Experts,

 

I have an S5520UR motherboard in a SR2612UR server.

It worked for years but before a new OS install I decided to update it to the latest (already 3 years old) firmware.

I installed the BIOS60/BMC58/FUR26/ME112 via the the EFI shell.

During the update I already noticed that the FRU and ME updates are failed saying "BMC are already in firmware transfer mode".

After reboot I noticed that I BMC LAN menu is greyed out in BIOS.

 

I removed the power cord redo the update with same result, Boot block are showing version 0.00

I tried the force update jumper according to: https://communities.intel.com/message/86309#86309

reset to default bios settings, force update on and back again but it does not fixed the BMC.

 

Luckily the machine boots, works ok, but I`m afraid without a working BMC it will not run well and maybe damaged.

Do you have any advice what should I try to resurrect the BMC ?

What is you opinion about running the server without working BMC ?

 

I wish you have a better luck.

RAID Driver for Intel S3000AH motherboard Windows Server 2008 R2

Support for this motherboard has ended.  This board had been purchased 02/01/2007.  However, with the release of Windows Server 2008 R2, it's like breathing new life into a server that still has adequate speed.  Currently I have an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor in the system with still room to grow.

 

Sadly, there is no W2K8 R2 driver for the Intel Embedded RAID, Intel® ICH7R I/O Controller.

 

Hey INTEL!!!  Can you make a driver please???  I purchased your board with the consideration that I could later upgrade it keeping up with technology.  Thanks in advance.

 

As for other readers, if you know of a 3rd party driver source, please point me in the right direction.
