It’s a seriously old problem and article, so maybe HP thought they’d got it well and truly fixed years ago. But thanks for the heads up. I’ll take a look.
]]>i chatted with HP Support and they told me to:
– install the NC523SFP in the PCI-E riser slot 2 instead of slot 1 (slot 1 is near to mainboard)
– change thermal configuration in RBSU from "Optimal Cooling" to "Increased Cooling"
This solved the problem
Bye
]]>Hi Stefano, my customers have seen an improvement when using the BIOS settings of Static High Performance and Enhanced Cooling. However there is additional power consumption with these settings. I would encourage you to work with support and get a resolution. Many customers have had their NIC's replaced, and others have decided to change hardware platforms completely as a result of the experience.
]]>I boot my ESXi host and the links to my storage are up, after a variable time links goes down.
Rebooting server restore the correct situation, but in minutes here we are again.
Reading ESXi logs i found
2014-11-11T15:38:47.412Z cpu9:33367)<3>qlcnic 0000:0d:00.1: vmnic5:qlcnic_check_temp:5969:Device temperature 108 degrees C exceeds maximum allowed.
so seems to be a temperature problem, i am opening a ticket with hp support and i will tell you the response
]]>Again there's are a couple of advisory's from HP. And I'm very frustrated because since 2 years there's again again issues with the Bios FW and EMULEX FW and Drivers. I would be really interested how many people have the same problems with the G7 Server. So i created a facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/449590495114322/
newest HP advisories:
Nic FW 2013-01-24 -> http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/…
Bios FW 2013-01-08 -> http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/templa…
I agree that the way to get at the correct link is to go to http://www.hp.com and go to drivers and search on your card number.
]]>HP came onsite almost two weeks ago to replace all 10 of the NIC's on two of my servers. They had to replace the riser board that houses the 4 x LOM NC375i NIC's, they replaced the 4 Port NC375T and the 2 Port NC522SFP.
When I restarted the server after the replacement the only issue was the ILOM had been reset (it resides on the riser board), apart from that no issues.
ESX started fine and all networking settings were the same, no issues with drivers or hardware. I migrated some test VM's to these servers and have not had any outages yet.
Everything seems good now and there have been no problems since. I can't guarantee that this will fix the issue, but it's a start and HP appear confident for the first time. I have HP coming onsite later this week to do the same thing on the last of my servers.
I also have another client with same problem on a number of servers that are experiencing the same issue. They have vSphere 4.1, but are seeing the same problems I have with vSphere 5.0u1. Same escalation with HP and same fix.
I'll keep you updated on the progress
