Proliant G7(x86) + P410i test log

Description of problem:
kdump to local SmartArray failed with hpsa on RHEL6.1 + Proliant G7.
This case is related to BZ#630060.
All test were based on an official RHEL6.1 kernel + driver.

Summary
DL380G7 + SmartArray P410i
 x86: "NMI IOCK error" display for ever. vmcore file was NOT generated.
 x86_64: "NMI IOCK error" display once. vmcore file was generated.

DL360G6 + SmartArray P410i (both x86 and x86_64 case),
vmcore file was generated on both cases.  
One minor note, I see "Uhhuh NMI received for ..." in the log.

Masanari, 
the bug was reported by you in 630060, do you want to keep this new bug to track the final resolution for 6.2 or is another reason behind?

Comment 5 masanari iida 2011-07-06 05:39:12 UTC
I thought you would like to close 630060, once the RHEL6.1 is released.

Anyway, I came back to this case with new test result.
In short, new SmartArray firmware and new driver fixed the symptom.
No more "NMI IOCK error".

System: Proliant G7
OS: RHEL6.1(x86)
SmartArray P410i(Firmware 5.06)
Driver: kmod-hpsa-3.0.0-2 (from HP)

I would expect to test new cciss/hpsa driver within RHEL6 kernel.
I have seen that kernel-2.6.32-163 starts to include the new
hpsa/cciss driver. 
Where is this kernel?

Masanari,
the kernel should be accessible for you via a partner ftp, I'm adding Beth to the cc-list.


Beth,
please help us with the access to the kernel.

We have confirmed that this symptom was fixed on RHEL6.1 errata kernel
(kernel-2.6.32-131.12.1) using bundled driver. 
It is because BZ#715397 was backported.

I will do another test once RHEL6.2 beta is ready to access.
This case (for 6.1) may close.
Thanks.

Thanks for the report, I'm closing this one now.
