red light on dell server

[foxphiles]

hi,

staff at datacenter report seeing red light on my whm machine, it's dell poweredge, to my understand red light means hardware problem, correct?

can anyone suggest which step i should take to check server hardware health.
the os is centos 5.2 x86_64

thanks in advance.

What red light? Do you mean the red icon in WHM under Server Status indicating server load? Your staff at the DC should be able to assist you with checking hardware shouldn't they?

Hi,

I have Dell OpenManage installed on my Dell servers.
With it you can check the server health.
Also a RAC card is help full.
You can install OpenMange with yum.

Hi,

Run

modprobe ipmi_si
modprobe ipmi_devintf
srvadmin-services.sh restart

And try again.

thanks again. ^^

i'm now able to login to dell omsa, seem like nothing's wrong with system.
but under storage it says "No storage controllers detected."

p/s. the drive is one SATA hdd with no raid.

Hi,

Maybe you can check the sata drive with Smartmontools ?
I would suggest you check the possibility to put a perc card with scsi hd's in your server. Raid is really the way to go if you want to offer reliable hosting.(imo)

The same problem...Omsa was working normal but after install of cpanel i can access omsa but login failes always ( before cpanel install i could login normaly )

Also tried uper codes but didnt help.

Any suggestions?

tnx

Hi,

I have no idea why you cannot login, but maybe a reinstall of omsa will help.
Also checking the logfiles may give you a clue what the problem is.
