DL 360 G5 Stop error

[Mike SA]

I have a DL360 G5 server. It is running Server 2003 x64 R2. I have Firmware version 7.9 updated on all available components. The server runs fine for an inconsistent time frame. Every so ofter it stop saying System Halted.

I check the logs and it says Blue Screen Trap ( BugCheck, Stop 0x000000D1 (0xFFFFFADF9EF30CA2, parameter2, 3, 4 etc.

We have replaced the system board. No luck and I suspect we need an earlier version of the NIC drivers. Please help???

[Víctor Cespón]

Stop 0x000000D1 means an error caused by a driver. In the blue screen, can you see any .sys file?
Are you using teaming on the NICs?

[Mike SA]

No, just normal link 1 x 1GB link to switch.

There is no .sys file in the when SYSTEM has Halted screen that comes up. I also suspect the NIC driver. Need an older version perhaps?

[Mi6t0]

No, just go to Network configuration utility, advanced and then stop the TOE (tcp offload engine). This should help...

[Mike SA]

I have disabled the TOE and now the server is extremely slow. The problem is intermittent though. So far, nothing wrong except for speed issues between the CPU and NIC. Restart server?

[Mike SA]

When I disable TOE the server is slow. When I enable it the server is fast. Restart did not help. Do I need to try an older driver to solve this?

[Víctor Cespón]

There has been several problems with the new multifunction NICs, mostly related to TOE. Some people reports that server works better with a driver from a few months ago.

[Mike SA]

I will download an older version and install. Will keep you posted. Thanks

hi

I've reading this

also that you can try is:

http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c01102958&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN

updating storport from microsoft.

let me ask you something the server has an integrated controller right? or not?

You stated you updated the firmware, but how about the drivers?

PSP 7.8 was a massive pain and full of BSOD'ing drivers, I'd check you have the latest software support pack.
