IBM X3650 M3 system installation and rapid fault diagnosis

Today the company's IBM x3650 M3 to strike, fortunately, the data in the basic is not needed, you can kill the reload. It used to be a lot of servers to contact Dell, so the IBM server was really smattering, and now it's just a chance to know I'm not going to let go, so I started starting with the initial reconfiguration of the disk array raid.

First, RAID configuration

on this part, I think a lot of people have written such articles, so I do not write more. I was referring to the following blog made out, written or more detailed:http://xjsunjie.blog.51cto.com/999372/642583/ .

I had four hard drives, three pieces together to make a RAID5, the remaining piece as a global hot standby "global heat Spares" use, when the hard disk is broken can be replaced in time. The following diagram is my own configuration interface:

If the hard disk is not set up at the beginning of the hot spare, then you can enter the array card, the new hard drive to set the hot spare is OK, it will automatically sync. Then click on the new hard drive, then tick "make Global HSP", then click the "GO" button on it, set the hot spare to the data will not affect, if you are worried about, then back up the data before the operation just in case. If you do not have a hot spare before, it will automatically replace the previous bad hard drive after it is set up as a hot spare, and if you have a hot spare before, then it is a hot spare disk.

Second, the system installation

After the RAID configuration is finished, the System Installation section is complete. I was only testing the installation of Server 2003 and server R2.

Installing Server 2003 requires the use of the IBM Server guide, which we often call the boot disk. I tested many versions and finally found IBM server guide V8.41_anyos_i386.iso in order to work normally, the other versions just add up the file after the loading interface has been scrolling, and then keep it that way, It's strange ....

While installing server R2 does not require the server guide, directly burn the official Microsoft R2 System image, you can install the system, more convenient than Server 2003.

Third, server maintenance

When there is a problem with the server, it is important to locate the fault quickly. Below I offer two kinds of methods that I think are very convenient and quick:

Method One : Look at the status lights in front of the panel. In the area where the power switch is located (e.g.), if the status indicator flashes yellow light (e.g.), then you can pull the blue one next to the thing that can be pulled out, just like one of my things:

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://s3.51cto.com/wyfs02/M00/54/27/wKiom1R5r27zg8QhAAIUHlRjpw4467.jpg "style=" float: none; "Title=" Light panel01.jpg "alt=" Wkiom1r5r27zg8qhaaiuhlrjpw4467.jpg "/>

After the opening is a small short board, there are many small lights, each lamp corresponds to some letters, such as LINK PCI SP ... If which light is on, then the problem is probably the problem, as I am below the DASD light is on, then what are the letters corresponding? Please see below:

PS1 Indicator: When this led is lit, the power supply 1 fails.

PS2 indicator: When this led is lit, the power supply 2 fails.

Temp Indicator: When this led is lit, the system temperature exceeds the threshold level.

Fan Indicator: When this light is lit, the cooling fan or power supply fan is faulty or running too slowly. A fan failure can also cause the over temp led to glow.

VRM Indicator: When this led is lit, a VRM on the microprocessor tray fails.

CPU LEDs: When this led is lit, a microprocessor is faulted.

PCI Indicator: When this led is lit, an error occurred on a PCI bus.

MEM Indicator: A memory error occurred when this led was lit.

DASD Indicator: When this led is lit, a hot-swappable hard drive fails.

NR Indicator: When this led is lit, it indicates that there are two power supplies but the power supply is not redundant.

NMI Indicator: When this led is lit, an unshielded interrupt (NMI) appears.

SP Light: Indicates that the service processor encountered an error when this led is lit.

Exp Indicator: When this led is lit, the I/O expansion unit of a connection fails.

Log light: When this led is lit, you should view the event log or remote supervisor

Adapterii logs to get information about non-optimal conditions.

Over Spec Indicator: When this led is illuminated, the demand for the power supply exceeds the specified power supply.

Remind button: Press this button to reset the system error led on the operator information Panel and place the server in a reminder mode. In the alert mode, the fault is not cleared but the system error indicator light flashes (flashes every 2 seconds) instead of continuously shining, and if another system error occurs, the system error LED will continue to glow.

Method Two : IBM X3650 M3 has a remote control port, a bit similar to the DELL R910, is the server first block network Carmer think the management port, and then there will be a default address, so you can log in to view system information and logs and so on.

X3650 Management Network Port is the first network card in the back of the server, its default management address is 192.168.70.125, we can take a laptop and a network cable, to the server's first network port, and then set the local connection of the notebook is the same network segment ip:192.168.70.x (such as 192.168.70.5) can, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, the gateway is empty, if you can ping 192.168.70.125, the connection is correct.

Then open the Notebook browser, enter the address 192.168.70.125 will appear the login interface, enter the user name in the account: USERID, password Enter the password: passw0rd. The Welcome screen will appear when you are finished.

("USERID" and "Passw0rd" copy is OK, this and the system user name password is not the same, is all the same model machine default settings, and "Passw0rd" inside the "0" is not English "O", but the number of "0")

The interface that comes into it should be the same as mine:

Through the above two ways of judging, are said to be a hard disk problem. In fact, this is really the problem, but not the hard disk is bad, but the second hard disk after the corresponding interface seems to be a bit of a problem, switch to the other interface is good.
