HP DL380 G6 Imaging
-
Hello,
We have multiple HP Proliant DL380G6 Servers with the HP Smart Array P410i raid controller.
We are trying to build a Citrix server and then use FOG to clone it multiple times in a Farm.The problem I am having is I cannot get fog to recognize the Storage controller or the disks. It reports back cannot find drive.
Can someone give any suggestions or has anyone built a custom kernel for the DL380G6?
-
Have you tried my kernel?
-
I think that Kernel would work great if it would detect my NICS…
Any chance you could compile it with broadcom nic support, or send me the make file so I know what options you selected for your Kernel? -
I’m looking into this firmware to add it to the firmware. I’ve been modding slight as you can no doubt tell, so it’s probably something I missed. Sorry about that.
-
That would be great Tom! I have allot of servers that I have been trying to image and this would be a great help!
-
My kernel’s been updated. You can get it at the same location as before. Hopefully it’ll work for you now.
-
Tom, I copied your Kernel over and I get the same message as before.
Your time and efforts are much appreciated. -
I’m taking a look.
However, I’m fairly certain the kernel has the bnx2 firmware installed now. Though I don’t have any real method of testing. I’m re-downloading the kernel to try another build. Hopefully I can get to the root of the issue.
-
Apparently, this isn’t a bug I produced, rather a bug the Linux Handlers created. Basically it needs to get the firmware information from /lib/firmware, but it was broken from 3.3.x and up. I’m looking to test a fix right now.

Greg,
Can you give the latest a shot?

I don’t know if it will work or not, but I’m trying a couple of tricks and need a test. If it works, awesome, if not I’ll keep trying. I will figure it out at some point I’m sure.

This is going to sound a bit of an odd, belated, question. What version of fog are you using?
If you’re using FOG 0.33b, I just updated the init.gz to include the bnx2 firmware, which includes this file that you’re missing per the report on the screen there.
Just update your init.gz file with mine from:
[url]https://mastacontrola.com/fogboot/images/init.gz[/url] and give her a shot. If you’re using 0.32, let me know and I’ll custom build the init.gz file. I can’t guarantee that this will fix your particular issue, but the files are located in /lib/firmware which, to my understanding, is where it’s looking for the files in the first place.
-
I am currently using fog 0.32, although I have no problems switching to Fog 0.33b if it fixes my issues.

I tried the firmware above and I have the same issue with it not finding the firmware. I will try the custom init.gz if you have it.Thanks!
-
I’ll have to rebuild and let you know. I started out trying that, but it didn’t seem to want to work properly, so I removed it. I’ll add it and let you know.
-
Thanks Tom, You have been a big help. I actually understand more about the boot process now. I added the missing firmware file to lib/firmware/bnx2/… in the init.gz but it still didn’t work.
