Hey guys,
My customer now has a bunch-o-blades deployed and has come up witht his question: We just recently installed a new M1000e chassis which has the latest CMC firmware (1.10). We have noticed that fans 7,8, and 9 run at 12000RPM even when the other fans are only at 4000RPM. We see this even when the all the blades in the system have been powered down. The ambient temperature is read as 19 degrees C. Our other M1000e chassis which is consuming more watts and has a previous version of the CMC firmware (1.01) does not exhibit this behavior. Any ideas? Is this expected? Is this a firmware issue? |

Hi
I received the below info on how to make sure I use the 5708s as a hardware initiator to join to my MD3000i. The problem is that I can not find all the options. -I had to download BASC 3 from Broadcom as could not find on Dell. I found version 11.3.13-no version 12 -I had to also get latest driver from Broadcom ver. 4.4.15 -in BASC I can not find any options to tick or untick iSCSI offload or NDIS -in device manager he devices do not show up as iSCSI HBA Am I missing something? This occurs with new Broadcom driver or old Dell driver. Here is the instructions I was send I was trying to follow. This is what you need to do to have the Blade connect to the MD3000i using the iSCSI offload feature. 1) Install the latest Broadcom driver and Control suite (BACS3 - Version 12.0 on support.dell.com) 2) In BASC3 put a check box on the iSCSI option on the adpaters you want to enable iSCSI offload on. - You might want to uncheck the NDIS option if you are only going to use the Broadcom controller for iSCSI. 3) Configure the IP address of the iSCSI HBA using the BACS3 software. 4) Go to device manager and verify that a new device shows up for the iSCSI HBA. 5) Ensure that the MS iSCSI initiator 2.06 or later is installed 6) Make sure that the MD3000i MDSM software has been installed 6) Configure the MS iSCSI initiator as you would if you were using a NIC, but select the Broadcom HBA device. 7) Continue the setup of the MD3000i . |

Is it possible to do a boot from SAN with the OB NICs? I see the sourcebook says yes and so does the website but i've heard conflicting information and it wasn't mentioned in any of the internal trainings we've had.

So platespin does not support p2p conversions with x64 OS so I am out of luck on that one.. Servers are booting from san and going from Dell 1855/1955 blades to M600's. I don't want to have to completely rebuild the systems. Any help would be apreciated...

Need to know whether our QME2472/Emulex Lpe-1105-M4 is interoperable with Hitachi Storage. Qlogic and Emelux has only EMC approved Drivers . Checked with Hitachi and they were unable to find one. Do you guys can help getting me a driver?
