PowerEdge 1850, PERC 4e/Si not visible in OMSA

[Francisco Javier Romero Muñoz]

Hi

 

The problem is the kernel and Lenny

 

I have the same hardware and with 2.6.18-6-686 debian standard kernel, it
works OMSA 5.5

 

The same hardware and software, with 2.6.26-2-686 kernel it doesn’t work

 

Any idea?

 

Any solution?

 

Thanks

Hey guys, wondering if anyone has come across this one.

 

Recycling a retired-from-service PE1850 with a PERC4 4e/Si scsi RAID card.
The raid is all good, operating system (Debian) is running fine, and
otherwise everythings koshure.  However OMSA does not recognize that there
is a PERC card in the chassis, so we are unable to monitor storage/RAID.

 

----

# omreport storage controller

No controllers found

----

 

Logging in via the LSI/RAID utility at boot, everything looks normal even
performed a drive rebuild to really test things.  But alas, OMSA doesn’t see
the controller.

 

System is running: 

- Debian 5.0 (Lenny)

- 2.6.26-2 kernel

- OMSA 5.5.0 (a sara.nl build)

- Latest Dell supplied firmware for the PERC 4e/Si card (5B2D, A19)

 

Whats confusing about this, is that Im quite sure this machine (running an
older Debian, an older PERC firmware, and older OMSA) did used to operate
fine with OMSA/storage.  All I can think on trying is going back to an older
PERC firmware to see if theres something in that (not that I would want to
run the older firmware long term).

 

Any ideas ?

 

 

 

Regards
