I have a pair of X4540's also, and getting any kind of drive status, or failure alert is a lost cause. I've opened several cases with Sun with the following issues: ILOM/BMC can't see any drives (status, FRU, firmware, etc) FMA cannot see a drive failure (you can pull a drive, and it could be hours before 'zpool status' will show a failed drive, even during a 'zfs scrub') Hot swapping drives rarely works, system will not see new drive until a reboot Things I've tried that Sun has suggested: New BIOS New controller firmware New ILOM firmware Upgrading to new releases of Osol (currently on 118, no luck) Replacing ILOM card Custom FMA configs Nothing works, and my cases with Sun have been open for about 6 months now, with no resolution in sight. Given that Sun now makes the 7000, I can only assume their support on the more "whitebox" version, AKA X4540, is either near an end, or they don't intend to support any advanced monitoring whatsoever. Sad, really.. as my $900 Dell and HP servers can send SMS, Jabber messages, SNMP traps, etc, on ANY IPMI event, hardware issue, and what have you without any tinkering or excuses. -- Brent Jones br...@servuhome.net _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
