glennda Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 We've got a couple of DL380 G5's which keep randomly rebooting with the event message below - any body any ideas?

browolf Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 no but download/install microsoft windows sdk and you get windbg which you can open the .dmp file with and may give clearer idea of the cause.
glennda Posted October 7, 2011 Author Posted October 7, 2011 Just seen on a site that it could be the nic drivers - have updated and wait to see if that fixes - if not more digging! Its strange its only started to do it its been running for 7 months on 2k8 R2
cromertech Posted October 7, 2011 Posted October 7, 2011 A d1 error reports to be hardware related (IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL) and looking on other forums usually a NIC driver edit: Damn just beaten to it
oxide54 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Its strange its only started to do it its been running for 7 months on 2k8 R2 not with HP drivers and windows ,its quite normal. personally i would virtualize it and vmware handle the hardware. (even if it is only one VM running on it.)
featured_spectre Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 VM the solution is not the worst idea, infact its a very good one, however when the physical machine has issues with the drivers then you will be in shtuck again. Dont let the machine auto update drivers as I found on S2K8R2 that driver updates can cripple the machine until you discover the error and rollback (usually drivers are the last thing to check!) Perhaps look at setting up a VM just to handle driver updates and see how it likes it, if it works, great, patch away, if not, then hold off until issues are fixed with said driver/update
oxide54 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 VM the solution is not the worst idea, infact its a very good one, however when the physical machine has issues with the drivers not really you would be using the vmware/linux style drivers for the hardware which are a world of difference from the windows drivers, then windows drivers for the virtual vmware devices, if the machine still has problems then its a hardware problem either faulty or incorrectly configured,
featured_spectre Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 Hyper V then, and as for updates, that wouldnt matter if the VM was running Windows Server
glennda Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 I don't have the san space yet - ordering an additional enclosure next week
glennda Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 Oh and Linux kvm over VMWare or hyper-v. It's happening on 4 separate servers so doubting hardware issue. I'm just about to order 2 x dl360 g7 with dual 6 core xeons and 24gb RAM and 8 network cards to use as hosts to replace my 5 file servers. But as said above I don't have enough space on the san. I'be got to wait till next summer to replace them totally.
oxide54 Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 you wouldn't need san space, you don't have to run a vm off a san its not mandatory. run it off the same disks the server is using at the moment.
TheScarfedOne Posted October 8, 2011 Posted October 8, 2011 but by not running the vms from a san, you loose the ability to set up hyper v as a cluster - and have the failover of vms.
glennda Posted October 8, 2011 Author Posted October 8, 2011 I don't use hyper v - doesn't help when the servers only have 2 72gb drives - yes I could virtulise on themselves but the machines need to replaced anyway as they are 4 years old dl380 g4/5s. I've updated the drivers for both graphics and nics as from my growling this is the main cause of issues. I will be virtulising next year when I get the additional space.
oxide54 Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 but by not running the vms from a san, you loose the ability to set up hyper v as a cluster - and have the failover of vms. really (insert sarcasm smilie) + hyper-v really?
TheScarfedOne Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 YES, really. Using HyperV in a cluster (which needs shared storage - ie SAN) - your VMs can move between HyperV hosts with no downtime. This is exactly how my system is now setup - and following shenanigans with a UPS, it has been demonstrated a few times in the past week when we loose one! There will be a series of articles published on this soon - so if any one is interested in this area, keep an eye out. 1
oxide54 Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 i know what a cluster is, my vmware runs like that. my comment was directed at using hyper-v. for me in negates one of the biggest benefits of virtualization ---> Not letting windows touch the hardware.
plexer Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Don't worry when Apple release iVirtualize it'll never crash or catch malware/viruses and everything will be in the iCloud Ben
