MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2のfirmware updateをstorcliで行う

NEC Express 5800で使われているSAS RAIDカードのN8103-117のfirmwareをアップデートしてみた。
詳しくは後述するが、NEC提供のfirmwareではなく、OEM元のLSI Logicが提供する最新firmwareの適用を行った。

NECでは「RAIDコントローラファームウェアアップデートモジュール(1.12.152-0589)」として配布しているもののromファイルの中身を見ると「VERSIONS=APP_1.12.152-0589,~ PACKAGE=8.0.1-0051 VALIDATION=GCA_02/25/09_12:32:30」となっている。
それに対して、LSIの最新firmwareは「VERSIONS=APP_1.40.342-1650,~ PACKAGE=11.0.1-0048 VALIDATION=GCA_05/23/12_00:52:27」である。


さて、まず、N8103-117は、LSI LogicのSASカードなので、LSIの管理ソフトをインストールする。
以前はMegaCLIというコマンドだったが、最近はstorcliという名称となりコマンドオプションもだいぶ変更になっている。

storcliのダウンロードだが、LSI Logicは、いろいろあった結果、現在Broadcomに買収されている。
このため、「Broadcomのサポートページのダウンロード」から関連ソフトを探す必要がある。

storcliの検索結果」から「Management Software and Tools」にある「MegaRAID Storcli」をダウンロードし、インスト-ルする。

storcliを使う場合、まずは、storcliで認識できるSAS/SCSIコントローラを確認する必要がある。
「storcli64 show」を実行する。

「MegaRAIDSAS8708EM2」を使ったコントローラが1個みつかり、コントローラの番号は「0」であることが分かる。

続いて、そのコントローラについての詳細を確認するため「/c0」オプションを追加し「storcli64 /c0 show」を実行する。

コントローラについての情報や、RAID構成に関する情報が取得できる。

また、出力結果より、「N8103-117」は「MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2」である事が判明。
同じくサポートページより最新のfirmwareを検索してみる。

MesaRAID SAS 8708EM2に関するDownload」の「Firmware」から「EF P34」をダウンロード。
Readmeには下記のバージョンが書かれており、現状の「FW Package Build = 11.0.1-0008」より新しいことが分かる。

Current Firmware Package: 11.0.1-0048 (EF-P34)

Current Package Details: APP-1.40.342-1650_BB-1.00.00.01-0012_BIOS-2.07.00_WEBBIOS-2.2-22-e_15-Rel_CTRLR-_PCLI-01.40-01000008_2012_05_11

アップデートは、firmwareファイルを「file=ファイル名」という形で指定して実行となる。
つまり「storcli64 /c0 download file=ファイル名」と実行する。

# /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 download file=mr1078fw.rom
Download Completed.
Flashing image to adapter...
Controller = 0

2.5G/5Gbpsのイーサネット規格IEEE 802.3bz/mGig/NBASE-Tで買える製品は何か?

2.5Gbps/5GbpsでCAT5eケーブルを使用するイーサネット規格がIEEE 802.3bzとして標準化された。

以前より「NBASE-T Alliance」にて「NBASE-T」という名称、またCisco社では「mGig(Multigigabit Ethernet)」という名称で製品化が進んでいたものではある。

1月に記事を書いた時は気がつかなかったのですが「玄人志向の10GBase-T NIC GbEX-PCIEはTehuti Networks TN9510相当品」って、NBASE-T対応製品だったんですね。

他にどんな製品があるのかな?と調べてみた
NBASE-T Alliance加盟各社の製品一覧
「Type of Product:System-level Product」で、「Availability:Shipping」となっているものが普通に購入できる製品、という意味になる。

スイッチ

メーカ 製品名 種別 uplink系 downlink系
SFP+ 10G 5G 2.5G 1G 10G 5G 2.5G 1G
Cisco Meraki MS350-24X L3スイッチ 4 8 なし 16
Cisco Catalyst 3560-CXシリーズ L3スイッチ 2 6 なし 8 or 12
Cisco Catalyst 4500シリーズ L3スイッチ 使用するモジュール次第
Cisco Catalyst 3850シリーズ L3スイッチ 3850-12X48Uなら12ポート分、3850-24XUなら24ポート分対応
Brocade ICX 7450シリーズ L3スイッチ RJ-45コネクタの一部で10Gと2.5Gに対応してるらしいがよく分からない
Aruba Aruba 3810シリーズ L3スイッチ たぶん、Aruba 3810M 40G 8 HPE Smart Rate
PoE+ 1-slot Switch (JL076A) だけが8ポート分10G/5G/2.5G/1G対応
Aruba Aruba 5400Rシリーズ L3スイッチ 使用するモジュール次第
Cisco Meraki MR53 無線AP なし あり なし
NETGEAR ProSAFE M4200 無線AP 2 なし 8 なし
Cisco Cisco Aironet 3800シリーズ 無線AP なし 2 なし
Aruba Aruba 330シリーズ 無線AP なし あり なし

NIC
・TEHUTI Network「TN9510: 5-speed 10GBase-T / NBASE-T」PCIeの10G/5G/2.5G/1Gネットワークインタフェース
・Promise「SANLINIK3 T1」40GbpsのThunderbolt3インタフェースを2.5Gに変換するアダプタ

Intelからは「Intel Ethernet Controller X550 family」というチップのみで、NICはまだリリースされていない模様


2016/10/06追記

GIGABYTEからIntel X550-AT搭載の1ポートモデル「CLN4121 (rev. 1.0)」とIntel X550-AT2搭載の2ポートモデル「CLN4222 (rev. 1.0)」が出る模様。

GIGABYTEのNIC製品ページでは特に明記されていませんが、使用しているIntel X550-AT/X550-AT2についての詳細が記載されている「Intel Ethernet Controller X550 Specification Update」にはNBASE-T対応についての記述が・・・

2. NBASE-T Speed Advertisement

NBASE-T speed advertisement (2.5 GbE/5 GbE) is disabled by default in the X550 NVM. An NBASE-T
enabled driver should be used to link at NBASE-T speeds.
Linux driver version 4.3.9 is currently the only supported software solution for NBASE-T.
For future planned enhancements, contact your Intel representative.

おや・・・標準では無効にされているんですか・・・
今後に期待・・・なんですかね?

LSI MegaRAID SASのRAIDステータスをLinuxで取る

前はMegaCliだったものが、いまは違うらしい。

中古で手に入れたサーバにMegaRAID SAS 8708EM2が入ってたので必要になったので確認してみた。

(2017/03/02追記:firmwareアップデート手順として「storcliを使ってMegaSASのfirmwareをアップデートする手順」を公開しています)

Avagoの「Support Documents and Downloads」から「Product Family:Legacy RAID Controllers」の「Product:MegaRAID SAS 8708EM2」を選択し、検索。
Broadcomの「SUPPORT DOCUMENTS AND DOWNLOADS」からProduct Familyの下の方にあるLegacy Product群から「Product Family:Legacy RAID Controllers」を選択肢、検索。

「Management Software and Tools」にあるが、なぜか「Current」には出てこないので「Archive」を選択。
「Binary」の「Currect」もしくは「Archive」に管理ソフトがある。
もしくは「storcliの検索結果」から「Management Software and Tools」からダウンロードする。

「MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM)」はJavaで動くGUIツール。
「StorCLI」もしくは「MegaRAID StorCLI」は、コマンドのみ

「MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM)」の最新版はMR6.9なのに、StorCLIはMR6.8が最新なのはなぜなのか・・・

rpmからインストールすると、/opt/MegaRAID以下にインストールされる。
実行ファイルは、/opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 か /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli。

まずは、コントローラのリストを「storcli64 show」で取得

どうやら、まだ生きている模様。

・・・最初は死んでたんだけど「storcli64 /c0 /bbu start learn」とBBUの状態調査を行わせてしばらく放置したら生き返った感じで・・・

久々にコマンドたたいてみたらディスクが1本死んでいた

2024/08/27追記

ディスクが壊れたので交換した。

ただ、300GB SASのST300MM0048を用意したのだが、なぜか認識しなかったので、予備として持って行ったSATAディスクをつけている。

これでほんとにスペアとして動いてくれるのかは未検証である

ネットワーク上にあるhpサーバのiLO IPアドレスとライセンスを収集するスクリプト

2019/01/09 追記

オリジナルのNachoTech Blogがアクセスできなくなっていたので、「https://github.com/osakanataro/findilos」にオリジナルと後述の改変版をアップロードした。


hpサーバをリモートから制御するために使用するiLO。
稼働させたあとにIPアドレスを確認するのがめんどくさい。
そういう場合に、総当たりでiLOのIPアドレスを確認するスクリプトがあった。

NachoTech Blogの「How to find all the iLO’s on your network」にあるfindilosである。

早速ダウンロードして実行してみる。

[root@adserver ~]# ./findilos 172.17.17.0/24
Scanning...
--------------- ------ -------- ------------ -------------------------
iLO IP Address  iLO HW iLO FW   Server S/N   Server Model
--------------- ------ -------- ------------ -------------------------
172.17.17.xxx   N/A    1.26     CN71xxxMxx   ProLiant DL360 G7
1 iLOs found on network target 172.17.17.0/24
[root@adserver ~]#

iLO HWのモデル名は拾ってくれない。

blogのコメントを確認していくと、元のスクリプトはiLO-2までしか対応しておらず、その後のバージョンについてはコメント欄にある修正を実施すれば良いようだ。

また、iLO Advanceを買っている場合に、そのライセンスコードを表示するための案も提示されていた。

ただ、スクリプト例は汚い実装となっていて、せっかくの元スクリプトを活かしていない形だったので、元スクリプトの実装に従ってライセンスを表示するバージョンを作成した。

その実行例がこちら

[root@adserver ~]# ./findilos 172.17.17.0/24
Scanning...
--------------- ------ -------- ------------ ------------------------- -------------------- -----------------------------
iLO IP Address  iLO HW iLO FW   Server S/N   Server Model              iLO Edition          iLO Licence Key
--------------- ------ -------- ------------ ------------------------- -------------------- -----------------------------

1 iLOs found on network target 172.17.17.0/24
[root@adserver ~]#

スクリプトの修正例は以下

#!/bin/bash
#
# findilos - Search a local network segment for iLOs
#            The iLO is the Integrated Lights-Out management processor
#            used on HP ProLiant and BladeSystem servers
#

#
# Website: http://blog.nachotech.com
#
# Requires: tr sed expr curl nmap
#
# Tested with: Nmap 4.20, curl 7.17.1, RHEL4
#
# Note: Discovery of an iLO is dependent upon the Virtual Media port
#       being set to the default of 17988.  If this has been changed
#       by the iLO administrator, then this script will NOT find it.
#
#       Also, if the iLO XML Reply Data Return has been Disabled by
#       the iLO administrator, this script will not be able to
#       gather any information about the server.  It will still be
#       discovered, but all you will see is its IP address.

Cavium社のサーバ向け64bit ARM CPU「ThunderX2」

台湾で開催中のCOMPUTEXにて、サーバ向け64bit ARM CPUというのが発表された。

プレスリリース「64-bit Arm Cpus
Cavium Announces ThunderX2™

ThunderX2™ ARM Processors」という製品ページも公開されている。

ざらっと読んでの特徴

・自社開発のARMコアを使用(Cortexシリーズを使っていない)
・アーキテクチャはARMv8
・2.5GHzで動作する24コア~48コアのCPU
・2CPU構成も可
・DDR3/DDR4のメモリを1TB以上も対応可能(まずは1TBまでサポートらしい)
・10Gb/40GbのEthernet、SATA v3インタフェース、PCIeインタフェースを多数対応可
・用途に応じた4種類のラインナップも用意
 それぞれ、各用途に応じたオフロード処理機構的なものを組み込んでいる
 ・ThunderX2 CP: ComPute prosessorsでクラウドコンピューティング向けで仮想処理とか特化
 ・ThunderX2 ST: STorage processorsでNASヘッド/ストレージヘッド向け
 ・ThunderX2 SC: SeCure processorsで暗号化処理が絡むセキュリティ機器/Firewall/ロードバランサなど向け
 ・ThunderX2 NT: NeTwork Centric Workload Optimized processorsなんだがCPシリーズとの差がよく分からない
・対応OSは、Ubuntu 16.04 LTS以降、SUSE SLES SP2以降、CentOS 7.2以降、FreeBSD 11.0以降
・RedHatは「RedHat Early Access for ARMv8」にて対応

おそらく、GigabytesのServer Barebone一覧にあるThunderX搭載の「2U 12-bay Cavium ARM Rackmount Server R270-T60 (rev. 100)」と「2U 24-bay Cavium ARM Rackmount Server R270-T61 (rev. 100)」などを置き換えていくのだと想定されます。
