[CentOS] LSI driver and SSD status error in IPMI

2015-10-16 Thread Birta Levente

Hi to all

I have a supermicro server with LSI 3108 with
- 2x300GB SAS spin drive in raid1 (virtual drive 0)
- 2x300GB SAS spin drive in raid1 (virtual drive 1)
- 2x200GB Intel SSD DC S3710 drives configured as JBOD in LSI bios

In the IPMI storage health status eveything looks fine until I boot into 
Centos 7.1 (unfortunatelly I didn't try other OS, but also I'm not 
interested in other)

After boot the status for the SSDs changing in ERROR

The same thing happen when boot with the install CD

Otherwise everything works fine.

Is this hurt? Can I do something?

Also I tried to install the latest LSI driver (06.809.18.00), but seems 
it is not loaded after restart:
As the official driver install guide say, before the driver install, I 
installed the dkms from the epel repo.

I would expect what shows up on the VGA console to be identical on the
serial console.

I'll give that a shot today.

To make matters more complex, this is an offsite box for which I've
implemented full disk encryption.  And if I don't get the LUKS passphrase
prompt on the serial console, well I'm in a bind...

For the LUKS prompt to show in text mode you do have to remove the 
quiet.  I'd be interested in finding out if the /etc/default/grub that I 
posted works for you (with the proper change in UUID's of course).


The key things for me to get this working was getting the bit rate 
correct (the GRUB serial port settings do not propagate to the kernel; 
you have to set all the serial port settings on the kernel command 
line); you have to make sure the bit rate of the kernel's serial console 
and your SoL BMC are the same (and your original problem description 
made it sound like they were not set up the same); the documentation to 
set this up is found in 
/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-3.10.0/Documentation/serial-console.txt which 
is part of the kernel-doc package.


For hardware (RTS) flow control at the kernel (and assuming your SoL 
uses 115200 for the bit rate, and assuming you want the VGA to still be 
a console), you might want the parameters:

console=ttyS0,115200n8r console=tty0

You don't actually have to keep the VGA as a console, incidentally, for 
either GRUB or the kernel.  I have run a machine that way before.  I 
personally am not a fan of using flow control on a console; I tend to 
just set the bit rates lower (I have gotten burned before by RTS/CTS 
flow control on a device console).  But that's just my personal 
preference; the 'r' at the end of the parameters for the serial console 
selects RTS/CTS flow control.


By default the kernel will set up the serial console for 9600n8 
operation, regardless of what you set it for GRUB or the serial console 
redirect in your BMC setup.


I'll reiterate that systemd does the Right Thing for the case of a 
serial console, and spawns a getty with the same parameters as you set 
on the kernel's console line; you do not need to create a separate 
.service file for the serial console's getty, in my experience.

Replying to myself with a correction to my statement and a 
clarification while it is documented this way, I do remember having 
a bit rate mismatch without specifying a bit rate of 9600, so it's 
possible the default bit rate was changed upstream.  And it's possible I 
that I am remembering incorrectly, and just put the parameter there anyway.

I didn't have the option to disable Plymouth.

I see you don't have flow control enabled, otherwise you'd have 9600n8r
I'll try it without n8r.

The baud rate I used is not specified in any of the service files systemd
generates.
But as you've said I should _not need_ a service file (which is much like
CentOS6 behaved with serial kernel params).

[CentOS] Debugging Kernel Problems

2015-10-16 Thread Tod
Not sure if this is the correct subject line but my recently installed 
Centos build (Linux localhost.localdomain 3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64 #1 
SMP Tue Sep 15 15:05:51 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) 
periodically just freezes - completely locks up, no activity, nothing in 
the logs, just stops dead requiring a power off and reboot.


I've really looked around to try and find the _best_ way to set up 
debugging but there is a lot written about it from a lot of parties but 
I'm not sure who the definitive source is.


I did try booting with the 'CentOS Linux (3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64) 7 
(Core) with debugging' option but that really didn't add anything to 
finding a solution.  Dmesg did report this however:


dmesg|grep debug
[0.00] Command line: 
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.10.0-229.14.1.el7.x86_64

[5.083981] SELinux: initialized (dev debugfs, type debugfs), uses 
genfs_contexts

[5.206423] systemd[1]: Unknown kernel switch systemd.debug. Ignoring.


Which I found interesting.

So, can anyone point me to a detailed guide to debugging what's going on 
with my build that will help me solve my locking problem?  BTW, I think 
it might be my wireless Atheros equipped PCI card (dmesg|grep -i atheros
[2.231264] ath5k: phy0: Atheros AR2414 chip found (MAC: 0x79, PHY: 
0x45) but can't be sure because I've not any real proof that's the issue.


Thanks in advance for your patience and assistance.

Do. That hides everything before the o/s switches root. It's *possible*
that it's hiding where you're being prompted for the LUKS password.
Personally, I'd have left / unencrypted

[CentOS] Semi-OT: torque, pbs_mom, cpuset, loglevel

2015-10-16 Thread m . roth
We're running the current version of torque. On our small supercomputer
(an SGI), no updates to torque since July, but just recently - someone may
be trying something new -  /var/log/messages is on-and-off being spammed
with Oct 15 18:02:04 servername pbs_mom: LOG_INFO::create_job_cpuset,
creating cpuset for job 1971[656].york.cit.nih.gov: 1 cpus (12), 1 mems
(1)
and I mean thousands of lines. I tried to adjust the loglevel of pbs_mom,
but it appeared to make *no* change, and their "documentation" and
"manpage" simply does not describe what message level each value of
loglevel produces.

Anyone have a clue? I've been googling, and not finding anything of use.

"nothing in the logs"? Have you run memtest for an extended period of
time? You might first want to eliminate the possibility that this is a
hardware problem.

Actually, we've had that occasionally, on a number of boxes. I *think*
they were all SuperMicros (sold by Penguin), and they become unresponsive
- when I plug in the monitor-on-a-stick, there's no response at all on the
console, keys do nothing. we have to power cycle them, and nothing ever
shows, not in dmesg.old, not messages, nowhere. Never figured it out.
