megaclisas-status, now with CacheCade and Nested RAID!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update. I was able to add some features to megaclisas-status lately: It will now display CacheCade and Nested RAID information properly.
Here are two examples:


  • Nested RAID (here a RAID-10 on top of 5 two-drive nested span):

# Nested RAID:

  • CacheCache Config (Thanks @secrethun for testing):

LSI MegaRaid HBA's, overheating and one ugly hack

Image
Summer is here! Like many others, I have LSI MegaRaid HBA's that I use in desktop machines. These things are great but they tend to overheat and quite a few people have reported high temperature  findings (97C reported by the chip when idle'ing in both my Dell T410 and my Dell T5610): $  sudo megaclisas-status -- Controller information -- -- ID | H/W Model                  | RAM    | Temp | Firmware      c0    | LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i   | 1024MB | 97C  | FW: 23.32.0-0009  c1    | LSI MegaRAID SAS 9280-4i4e | 512MB  | N/A  | FW: 12.15.0-0205  [...] I had never really bothered about the temperature but when I started to rebuild my T410's boot LD (Raid-1) to swap the 2Tb drives with 4Tb drives I had, things started to get complicated quickly. As soon as the mirror started rebuilding, the ROC temp (sitting around 97C) skyrocketted to 102C and so...

Some Tips about running a Dell PowerEdge Tower Server as your workstation

Image
Some use workstations as servers. I'm using servers as workstations. Over the years, I've changed computing gear on quite a few occasions. I've been using Tower Servers for the past 5 years and would like to share some tips to help others. But why would anyone want to do that?? - Servers are well integrated systems and are usually seriously designed and tested. - They offer greater expandability (6x3.5" hotswap bays in my previous T410, now 8x3.5" in my T430). - They usually include some kind of Remote Access Card (RAC) which is great for remote'ing in when all else has failed. - I can get tons of server equipment on ebay that will be compatible with that system. - Where else can I get 192Gb of ECC DDR4 RDIMM, dual 6-core Xeons and 8 hotswap bays? Tip #1 : Choose your chassis with care. Not all servers are created equal: - Rack servers are usually thin and noisy (those 8k rpm fans have the job of cool that 2U enclosure). It is n...

VMWare Worksation 12 on Fedora Core 23/24 (fc23 and fc24)

Image
Update (20170321): VMware released VMW 12.5.4, which fixes all of the current issues with Fedora and the latest kernels (AFAIK). The hacks described on this page ARE NO LONGER NEEDED NOR MAINTAINED . Update (20160921): VMware released VMW 12.5, which is supposed to work fine out of the box.  I updated  Update_VMW.sh  to avoid patch anything -else- than VMW 11.x or 12.{0,1}. Please report back if you need assistance. Update (20160630):  I updated  Update_VMW.sh  to support Fedora Core 24 (fc24) for which the changes needed are the same. Please report back if you need assistance. Update (20160525): I updated my  Update_VMW.sh  script to patch the VMware kernel modules so they work on kernel 4.4.x and above (FC23+). Tested successfully with VMW 12.1.1. Update (20151209): This is still needed on 12.1.0 but I wrote a small tool to make everyone's life easier:  Update_VMW.sh VMWare workstation 12.0.1 Pro stopped working when I upgraded...
