  • [OS2HW] HP Proliant ML330 G3 and SMP (hell)

    From Massimo@1:3634/1000 to All on Tue Apr 19 04:19:47 2011

    Hi all,

    i just installed an HP Proliant ML330 G3 with eCS 2.0GA,

    if i use the server in UNI processor mode, no problems at all, but the
    general performances are not better than the old ML115 G2...

    If i try to use the server in SMP mode it start the hell,
    ring 0 traps, hard-hangs etcc...

    The server has some "trivial" settings in the bios e.g.
    OS type, MPS table (auto, full apic table, disabled, full mapped table), optimize speed for I/O or for memory that could do nasty things about me :)

    It trap if i use OS2APIC or even ACPI from ecs2.0ga....

    Any idea?
    Any experience or suggestions?

    thanks
    bye


    massimo s.

    Hi Massimo,

    i just installed an HP Proliant ML330 G3 with eCS 2.0GA,

    OK. As usual, still too few details.

    At a minumum you are going to need an updated os2krnl. There's a defect
    in the kernel that shipped with eCS2.0 GA that caused the Process Dump
    Facility to trap the kernel. Since this is a new installation of eCS
    2.0GA, I recommend that you submit a support ticket at

    http://www.ecomstation.com/support/tickets/ticket_create.php?DepartmentID=1

    to get the process started.

    If i try to use the server in SMP mode it start the hell,
    ring 0 traps, hard-hangs etcc...

    The server has some "trivial" settings in the bios e.g.
    OS type, MPS table (auto, full apic table, disabled, full mapped table), >optimize speed for I/O or for memory that could do nasty things about me
    :)

    IIRC, there are a number of folks on the Apache/2 list using Proliant
    servers. I recommend you post to the list and ask for tuning tips.

    It trap if i use OS2APIC or even ACPI from ecs2.0ga....

    Any idea?
    Any experience or suggestions?

    My only comment at the moment is to repeat what I have said before in
    recent e-mails - a general description of a failure will generally get you
    a general description of possible solutions.

    Steven
