Hi Tim, Are you aware of such a known problem ? Could you reassign this issue to the right people in your team ? Thanks. Pierre: As you saw in a mail message from Tim in response to your report of a problem with the LSI22320-R adapters on your IA64 platforms (on both RHEL2.1-U4 and RHEL3-U1), we've got a pre-beta RHEL 3 U3 kernel (call it "U3betaRC" for U3betaReleaseCandidate) available for you to test that may also address the issue that you've reported in this bugzilla. Location of the kernel: ftp://people.redhat.com/tburke/.pre_u3 We'll be waiting for your feedback.... Sue I see from the syslogs that you have storage on mpt fusion, QLogic, and aic7xxx adapters. I gather that your system is installed on the mpt fusion disks, and the dbgen test is running exclusively on the aic7xxx disks. Are the QLogic disks idle? Please describe your storage configuration, and whether there is anything running other than dbgen. If you could run sysreport and post the results that would be helpful as well. Thanks. The other problem with LSI22320-R adapters (IT #43391) prevented us to go further on testing the new kernel Tim provided to us. But I asked to get further information as you requested in your note above (Comment#3), though. Created attachment 101637 [details]
sysreport result
The various ddgen processes write in various file systems. Some of them are in
a SCSI disk subsystem (SR0812 - Chaparral accessed through an adaptec SCSI
adapter (aic7xxx driver)), other are in a fibre channel disk subsystem (FDA2300
- NEC iStorage accessed through QLogic QLA2340 adapters (qla2300 driver)).
In the sysreport given in attachment, the file systems used by dbgen processes
are not present because we started other test on this server.
A workaround has been found for LSI22320-R adapters boot problem (IT #43391) and BZ #127385 has been opened to get it fix on RHEL3-U3. But we're still waiting a new RHEL3-betaU3 version to check potential enhancement on this current defect. This issue has been fixed on RHEL3-U4 kernel (beta versions). It can closed now. We'll open another one if another "same" problem would be raised on G.A. version, but we don't expect such a regression ... Thank you for the information, Pierre. I will revert the state of this bug to MODIFIED, since U4 is not yet released. It will automatically be changed to CLOSED/ERRATA by the Errata System when U4 becomes available on RHN. Larry's fix was committed to the RHEL3 U4 patch pool on 18-Oct-2004 (in kernel version 2.4.21-22.EL). An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2004-550.html |
