RAID Controller Flash¶

The Dell PERC H710 D1 (non-blade) Storage Controller in the main server in Braunschweig has been reflashed to the LSI 2107 IT mode firmware to allow for HDA pass-through in oder to support ZFS on a RAID controller.

We followed these instructions: https://fohdeesha.com/docs/H710-D1.html (Web Archive)

OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA)¶

Dell Servers have a tool to check on the hardware status in a lot of detail, the OMSA. TO use it, it needs to be installed on the host. Sadly it is not (offically) supported for Debian Buster, so some trickery is needed.

Installation¶

I used these tips: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-poweredge@dell.com/msg05172.html To follow these instructions: https://linux.dell.com/repo/community/openmanage/ (They are for ubuntu, but work fine)

Power Management¶

Read out energy consumption since last reset:

omreport chassis pwrmonitoring

Reset energy consumption reading:

omconfig chassis pwrmonitoring config=resetreading type=energy
