Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
Uncorrectable PCI Express Error (Embedded device. I have upgraded firmware to newest, have swapped out Mother board with no luck. I have been working with HP for about a month and no resolution. They have told me to upgrade firmware, we chave changed bios settings for PCI and CPU and issue is still the same. All our servers have a p410i controller with 512 cache card. Can anyone shed any light to this issue??????
Thanks

The 1GB FMBC that I've pulled out has HP 4K1045 on the back and is labelled as REV.0C.

Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
If it's FBWC, you might have the same issue we have been suffering on the DL380 G7's. Suggest you make sure your P410i firmware is v3.52 and if you still have an issue, get HP to swap out the FBWC.

Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
Thanks for your Reply. MY BL460 servers have a Battery Backed Write Cache connected to the Smart Array P410i.I have replaced the 512 mb cache card and still having same issue. The firmware is current on all our servers v3.52.I have yet to replace the battery. We received a batch of about 21 BL460's about 3 months ago and only 4 have the BSOD issue all have same Hardware config, all have firmware up to date.
I read on one of your comments you removed the cahce card, so what i have done is reomoved the cache card on one of the servers and will wait to see what happens. You also mentioned that when they replaced one of the cards the revision was different??

Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
Sanjeev, the problems we have been having have been tied down to some FBWC cards and the P410i array controller firmware, so as long as you know that if you have this issue, you need to get HP to swap the FBWC card, then personally, I would say that the DL380 G7 is fine to buy.

Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
However, I replaced the FBWC last week and (touch wood) it's been fine since. So if you're happy knowing that you may need to order and wait for a replacement FBWC then fine.
Personally I'm not happy with the support HP have given. Clearly I'm not alone with this issue - the post on my blog gets around 100 hits a day! http://www.geakeit.co.uk/2010/11/11/review-avoid-the-hp-dl380-g7/
They should have made their support staff more aware of this issue and I hope they will soon.
Other than that the server seems fine, it won't stop me going for a Dell/IBM next time though.

Re: Absolute nightmare of a DL380 G7
I agree with you on no of posts for the similar issue and this needs to be brought to HP Engineering team so that they work out a permanent solution.
MY experience for the similar issue on G7 server is :
Controller lock-up, malfuction or error on the post could be related to devices/components connected to the controller or controller itself.
BBWC/FBWC is first point of suspection, then controller then other devices like hdd, backplane etc.
cheers,
Aftab
