| - | ===== Quirks ===== | + | ===== E-Waste ===== |
| - | I was able to install Fedora23 on apama001 but still got Red Screen of Death and "Illegal Opcode" after grub tries to boot the OS. Something about rpm-based distros doesn't like searching for the root partition using UUID. | + | As these machines age, they continue to MCE and lock up at higher rates. To make room for new LRC hosts, we've begun e-wasting miras. |
| - | What fixed it was finding the proper root drive and manually booting to it in a grub rescue prompt. See below. | + | ^ Hostname ^ Date E-Wasted ^ Ticket Number(s) ^ |

| - | There's probably a permanent fix that can be applied in grub.cfg but haven't looked into it. | + | ===== Replacing failed/failing drives ===== |
| + | This process is a bit annoying. Depending on which order the HDD backplane is connected to the RAID controller, the order of drive bays on these machines will be: | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | 1 2 3 4 | ||
| + | 5 6 7 8 | ||
| + | |||
| + | OR | ||
| + | |||
| + | 5 6 7 8 | ||
| + | 1 2 3 4 | ||
| + | </code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | To add to the annoyingness, it's not possible to light up the red/failed LED manually on the drive sleds. So when working with the labs team, it's easiest to have the admin be in front of the machine and either light up the failed drive or light up drive 1 and have them count to the drive bay. | ||
| + | |||
| + | To light up a drive, I typically just do ''dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null'' if I want to light up drive 1. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If a drive just has failing sectors but is still readable, it's easiest to light up that drive (smart.sh will tell you which drive letter to use ''dd'' on). If the drive has completely failed, light up drive 1 (usually /dev/sda) and have the admin count up to it. | ||
