Re: [zfs-discuss] System started crashing hard after zpool reconfigure and OI upgrade

I can reproduce the problem. I can crash the system. Here are the steps I did (some steps may not be needed but I haven't tested it): - Clean install of OI 151.a.7 on Supermicro hardware described above (32GB RAM though, not the 128GB) - Create 1 zpool, 6 raidz vdevs with 5 drives each - NFS ex

Great write up Jens. The chance of two MB to be broken is probably low but overheating is a very good point. It was on my to-do list to setup IPMI and seems that now is the best time to do it. Thanks On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 1:08 PM, Jens Elkner wrote: > On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 08:50:40AM -0700,

I'm sorry. I should have mentioned it that I can't find any errors in the logs. The last entry in /var/adm/messages is that I removed the keyboard after the last reboot and then it shows the new boot up messages when I boot up the system after the crash. The BIOS log is empty. I'm not sure how to c

Does the Supermicro IPMI show anything when it crashes? Does anything show up in event logs in the BIOS, or in system logs under OI? On Wed, Mar 20, 2013 at 11:34 AM, Peter Wood wrote: > I have two identical Supermicro boxes with 32GB ram. Hardware details at > the end of the message. > > They

I have two identical Supermicro boxes with 32GB ram. Hardware details at the end of the message. They were running OI 151.a.5 for months. The zpool configuration was one storage zpool with 3 vdevs of 8 disks in RAIDZ2. The OI installation is absolutely clean. Just next-next-next until done. All I
