ML350 G5 Ntbackup Crash

[Ryan Giggs]

Hi all,

We are having a problem with a ML350 G5 server running small business server 2003 sp2, fully updated firmware wise. Backup runs on an LTO ultrium 2 drive.

The problem is that every so often, could be every couple of weeks or once a month...the server starts to backup and around 40 minutes before its finished backing up the server will freeze completely, leaving no error logs just an unexpected shutdown occoured. Wondering if there is a way i can find out why this is happening? or has anyone experienced this before and could give me some advice.

This is happening on 2 servers both identical ML350's.

Regards.

is there anywhere else i can download the Online ROM Flash Component for Windows - Smart Array E200 and E200i ....its a multiple file download and the .md5 file will not download.

Hi :)

U need only the .exe file.

The md5 file is a checksum file, you just don't need it. It is used to check if the .exe is completely donloaded, but for 1-2 MB it makes no sense to use it.
So don't worry, download only the .exe.
