Problems with WIDE ULTRA 320 SCSI on DL380 G3

[HappyAlex]

Hello
Yesterday there was a problem
From 6 hard disks in work remains only 2
On hard disks 0,1,2 - burns red lights
On a hard disk 5 - do not burn lights
I have tried rebuild raid. Hard disks have work, but at night again there was a failure.

I have 4 ideas
1) a problem with hard disks
2) a problem with HP SMARTARRAY
3) an overheat
4) bad contact

can you tell me .. what to do ?

Thx

see the attached file you will know whats happening with your HDD But I think they are predictive failures the most common step is replace HDD

have you check your HDD or Controller using
Array configuration Utility or what is reporting the Integrated Management Log??

regards

[HappyAlex]

Thanks you very much i think it would help me

and one question more

i can use any WIDE ULTRA320 SCSI drivers for my DL380 G3 server or i need only HP ?

[KarloChacon]

mmm why you need another drivers?


when you install the OS this will install the drivers if not the Proliant Support Pack will do it

regards



please don't forget assign points if this was helpful

[KarloChacon]

well just in case you wanna update firmware of the HDD use the
Firmware Maintenance CD

difference in the price
I wished to take cheap hard disks WIDE ULTRA320 SCSI for tests to be 100 % assured in problematical character hard disks

I dont' have right now access to server
so i'm waiting support of DataCenter

[HappyAlex]

[HappyAlex]

SEAGATE 36G 15K WIDE ULTRA320 SCSI DRIVE ST336754LW
FUJITSU 36G 15K WIDE ULTRA320 SCSI DRIVE MAU3036NP
COMPAQ 289241-001 36.4GB 15K WIDE ULTRA320 SCSI HOTSWAP

[KarloChacon]

sorry I had not understood(drivers)

Ok I really don't know about that but I think you could

but if you are under warranty think about twice

regards

[HappyAlex]

the one problem is .. i don't know .. i'm under warranty or no :(
I but this server on ebay.com it's used ..
and i don't know when is server was bought at first time :(

sorry for my English
right now my location is Kyrgyzstan
I kbow that we have Service Center of HP in Kyrgyzstan, but i don't know .. if it possible to ask them to resolve the problem

[KarloChacon]

just call hp support

you just need to give to them the serial number of your server they will tell you if it is out-in warranty

regards

[HappyAlex]

Could you tell where serial number of a server is located

[KarloChacon · Accepted solution]

5 places

1. in the RBSU(Bios) using F9 to access the Bios you will see serial number(SN)

2. It's attached to the server in tag, or inside sticker

3. in the Array configuration utility (a tool to monitor HDD and controllers)

4. System management home page if you have install PSP

5. and tha last place i know if using iLO, you will the SN accesing from another PC.

hope this will help you

regards

[HappyAlex]
