Art of Server
США
Добавлен 5 янв 2018
This channel is about servers, servers, and servers... well, okay, and server "related' things too. A while ago, I started an eBay store called "The Art of Server" (ebay id=theartofserver), and I was getting some questions from customers about various server building related topics, especially about IT mode HBA SAS controllers. After answering a lot of the same or similar questions, I thought, "why not make some videos about these questions?" So, here I am.
Hope you find these videos helpful for your server building projects! Happy building!

From my other comments on your other video, I found the LSI2308-8i would run the config utility at boot when I downgraded the card to P19 when installed in the DL380 G7
I don't know if you saw my reply to your other post, but you don't need to downgrade the firmware to P19, and that's not recommended. You just need a LSI ROM downgrade by sub-revision, still part of P20. Get the mptsas2.rom file for version from P20 package version 07.39.00.00 and it should work around the HP issue.
@@ArtofServer I missed the reply sorry - I'll go back and check it out. Thanks!
@@ArtofServer On the Broadcom site the only P20 I can download is firmware 20.00.07.00, evidently 20.00.04.00 is what I am after but I am not sure what ROM version is in that zip as I can't fin'd it for download anywhere.
Got it all sorted with the help from your videos. Thanks!
Good. How do you get an type-a modular controller i.e. HPE Smart Array P408i-a to work with your home PC truenas setup?
Awesome vid and setup/config. I have my 1st 12 disk shelves! 2 identical looking shelved, but I only have one power cord to the backplane, I need more power cords, but unable to find them online. only one power cord came with the 1st shelf I received, the power cord I have has 3 molex to a single 8 pin connector, that has the same keying as an ATX 8 pin... Where to find more of these? Looking in your Ebay store now. Thanks for posting! Liked and subbed!
Hey! Welcome to my channel! :-) What kind of JBOD enclosure do you have? Does it use a standard ATX PSU setup or some proprietary PDB+PSU like the Supermicro? You just need to make sure you supply enough amps for spin-up of all drives. BTW, I don't have any of these JBOD boards right now... :-(
I'm running a truenas server on a HP Elite 8200 CMT, close to 60 watts on idle with 5 drives, just down want to use that much energy 24/7 so I only use it for backing up my proxmox host. nvm 200 watts.
yeah, i guess it depends on your local energy costs, that will affect perspective.
I purchased one of your IT mode flashed cards a few years ago now and have moved it into a HP DL380 G7 machine. All my drives show up but when I select CTRL+C to open the config utility to select a boot drive the machine halts with error: Fatal PCI Express Device Error PCI Slot? B00/D05/FOO DE. Any ideas?
Some HP Proliant BIOS have an issue with the LSI BIOS ROM. One workaround is to downgrade the LSI BIOS ROM (on another machine) to a slightly older version.
@@ArtofServerthanks for the reply. Any ideas on where I can get the older firmware?
@@ArtofServer I meant to add also that the SAS card can see all the drives fine, I just need to be able to set boot order on the SAS card and assume I’m going to need the config utility for that.
This is what I see on the HP DL380 G7 boot screen: Avago Technologies MPT SAS2 BIOS MPT2BIOS-7.39.02.00 (2015.08.03) When I put the card in a desktop PC and go into the config utility (I don’t get this far on the server) I see this version: Avago Technologies Config Utility 7.39.02.00 (2015.08.03)
I flashed P14 and was able to open the config utility - awesome video by the way!
Been fighting this issue on 2 of these SM mobos. Thanks for problem identification and temp fix. It happened again yesterday after a power-fail reboot. Stuck on B9. This can popup after months of running just fine. My long term problem is I can't put these servers at the datacenter 2 hrs away.
Yeah, I can understand if the system isn't stable and consistent, it's difficult to deploy remotely. It's possible some of the traces from the CPU socket to the DIMM slot is slightly damaged and sometimes loses contact. To improve stability, can you try not using the DIMM that has the instability and use larger DIMM modules if you need the RAM?
@@ArtofServer Good idea. No, excellent idea. Thank you.
can this method be used to format a 512e hdd to 4kn hdd?
not sure, never tried that, but sounds plausible.
I believe you were referring to the Antec 1900 case. That case could hold up a lot of HDD or SSD.
No, I was referring to the Antec 900. The 1900 is much newer... I recall the 900 back in ancient times.
Looks good !
Thanks! :-)
Thanks for the detailed video, I have a question, what do you think of Nvidia quadro M4000? Do you think that can fit into a r610?
can't really comment about it as I've never used it. if it is of similar dimension as P2000 and requires no additional PCIe power, I think it shouldn't be a problem to fit as the P2000 did.
@@ArtofServer My use case is to run ML training models and I thought given the dimensions of both the cards very similar, having a 8GB card might be better suited. I could be wrong as I am very new to this field. But thanks for responding back, I will a bit more research on the points you mentioned above.
Would this issue be prevalent in 9305-16e Dell cards as well? Or was the problem specific to the 9206-16e only? EDIT: Confirmed this issue was present on my 9305-16e card and this video solution addressed it.
I've never seen it in a 9305-16e, but this issue is found on cards that have been configured in target mode firmware.
@@ArtofServerthank you for the quick reply! I can confirm the same setting was applied on a 9305-16e card I purchased and following your guide I was able to fix it. Thank you again for all that you do for this community!
This was great when I watched it a few years ago, and then I watched it again a few weeks ago to make sure I was getting the right rails on eBay. Success! Now... what I did NOT anticipate is my rack is only 24" back-to-front and the rails are apparently for a 26½" rack. So server back to sitting on boxes for now. :( Open to any suggestions!
Are the rails you have adjusted to the minimum length? The mounting point in the back is adjustable and should slide back and forth to accommodate for racks of different depths.
I can't see where I could possibly make them any shorter. The inner rails that connect to the server are 26" long, and the outer rails extend from 26½ to 36 3/4". Alas.
I've been looking into these controllers for a while now and I have watched many videos from your channel. Just now I went into your eBay store and the descriptions are really informative. I found some 9201 16i here in Brazil and they all have a smaller heatsink - but one of them has the brass pins. Does the original have different heatsinks? The seller is quite professional. Thanks for the video!
Glad I could help
I have no experience of the z820. However I do have 12 HP z series servers, from z210 (x4) to z440 (x2). Most of these boot from NVME M.2 drives in PCIe slots. One is a genuine HP card, the rest are generic cheap-on-eBay cards. What you read on HP's web site, is what they have tested and found reliable. This is a tier 1 company, and they test things exhaustively. Most of the potential options have not been tested by HP. Test it yourself. If it doesn't work for you, you can get most of your money back by selling it on, on eBay.
So after 4 years of having fun with the r410 I've changed my setup. Now the question: can I reset the idrac via its webgui? I haven't a vga monitor anymore 😬
use the racadm tool from the OS to reset it if you don't have direct console access.
Dave. Stop. My ports are going.
I'm lost for words...
How did you get PC to boot from USB stick? My P330 only gives me options of USB HDD, USB CDROM, and SATA 4:PLDS DVD-RW DA8A.
The USB boot drive just shows as a USB HDD.
Why not put the H330 in HBA mode? No flashing required its just a setting, no need to flash to IT mode. It has no cache and HBA is pass through mode that should work with ZFS NAS software.
You could do that and it will work. But it doesn't change the PCIe ID, so it will still load the megasas driver instead of the HBA driver like mpt3sas. This is problematic for certain OSes and the software integration on top of that. But, I've demonstrated the use of even full on RAID controllers using SDR0 and it is all usable.
@@ArtofServer Hmmm I don't do not know that xigmaNas will even have that driver to load. Windows OS yes. Or are you talking about loaded from the H330/H730 built in firmware/bios boot loader? Yea that will load no matter what. Will flashing it to IT mode upset the Dell Idrac or monitoring hardware? Thought I read someplace that it does, is why I was thinking just putting it in HBA mode might be better. But maybe just buying a cheap Dell HBA330 would be best and pulling the H330/H730. Its not here yet, just going to combine two sets of old ZFS XigmaNas raid1 zfs to a new box with more expansion. Im just trying to avoid issues as I have not actually done this type of swap before and dells can be picky about changing things. Should I just get a HBA330 for the smoothest less fiddling around experience? I have read a few people claiming the HBA mode is not exactly the same like they lost their pool due to it. but did not elaborate why/how. That is a bit concerning to me.
Hey! Got the proper P/N. Updated to latest Dell firmware and the BIOS while still keeping the RAID capabilities and then, tried to check the PCIe Gen3 option on the R620. It still not show the Gen3 option even knowing the slots are Gen3 :/
That's very strange... when you read out the info on that card, what chip revision does it show?
@@ArtofServer H710P Mini D1
any possibility to share the sbr file please ? many thanks in advance
Can I connect a sas expander to each port and daisy chain them ? So if I had a 2 port hba and I connect and daisy chain 4 expanders to each port will that work ?
yes, that's essentially what was demonstrating in this video.
Interesting, mine shows 32c at boot , I assume I might have to swap mine out?
Well, is your room ambient temp close to 32C?
Nope , 23C .
God damn it.

Inspur cards aren't "fake" as such. They're using a licensed design, genuine LSI chips and are pretty well built (heatsinking is for server use, as you point out) P20 firmware might have been the issue. It's notorious for problems with SATA drives and the general recommendation is to downgrade to P19
no one said anything about "fake". this was just taking a look at a card I received as a return fraud.
@@ArtofServer They're widely described as such by people who don't understand how OEM licensing works. I agree it's return fraud in your case but the likely reason you got it was that the client regarded it as "fake" from a "returns not accepted" vendor (common for Chinese sellers) FWIW the Inspur cards _are_ cheap(*), but to be honest I'd avoid sas2008/3008 family for home use anyway The reason for saying that is they can't be turned to low power PCIe mode(**) and prevent the host computer from reaching sleep/low power modes This is especially germane if you want a silent PC - the ARM-based LSI controllers (9400 onwards) not only draw much less power than the PowerPC ones, but allow the host system to go to C6 modes too, so whilst there may be an "on paper" variation of 10W between the cards you can easily see 60-80W on the whole system In your position I'd sell the card cheaply with a 30 day warranty. There's always someone who will buy it as long as it's tested (*) Usually, but there are some chinese vendors who take the proverbial (**) sas3008 cards can have L0/L1 enabled but at cost of lots of random SMART errors and it's a serious faff to set the modes
In your or anyones opinion, I have a R410 which I have been getting up and running to serve as an AMP game server and i currently only have 3tb dell SAS drives laying around and the original 1068E board, is there a way to flash that card? Space isnt an issue as even 8tb (if they are seen as 2tb) is goof for what I need, will i have problems later on doing it this way? Love these guides by the way!
Did you watch this video yet? Everything you're asking is answered in this video... ??? I'm confused with your question.
@@ArtofServer you know what, you're right. I was hasty and didnt finish the whole video. Thank you for this video.
I was looking at the LSI card and have a question, I notice it's pci-e 2, how would that effect the speed of 8 spinning drives, would you still get full speeds? If you do would it still potentially be an issue in the future if I go to ssd?
you should probably watch this video: ruclips.net/video/Q4e8kmuGm6o/видео.html
Man feels like I need a degree
nah, it's not that complicated. :-)

@artofserver Very nice video and very helpful many thanks besides, do you have some tutorial simulating a failed disk in a raid5 and procedure (including storcli commands) on how to replace it? Thanks
I do not yet. but that's a great suggestion. i no longer have this controller though, as I had to return this to Broadcom. However, I can probably do a tutorial using an older generation controller.
@@ArtofServer awesome Sir thanks a lot (preferably the demo using storcli set of commands) wishin your youtube channel more success and subscribers (btw im suggestin my friends to subscribe to it)
I really really love this technology. Hard drives are getting bigger and bigger with 22TB being the max currently. However, if you put a 22TB drive into a RAID and start rebuilding, you`ll die of old age until its finished rebuilding (and one other drive probably will too). Having double the speed, which is very realistic when rebuilding, it could cut your wait time in half. Especially if the HAMR technology allows for 30+TB drives, you need a way to make reading and writing faster. Maybe one day we`ll get 3 or 4 arms? Only sad thing about this is that it`s detected as 2 separate drives... not practical in my case. Seagate has to do something that the device is detected as a single drive, either by some software driver (idk if driver would be the correct word here) or maybe some chip on the HDD itself that fuses the "two HDDs" into a RAID0 without the OS really knowing it. Best case scenario would be that they even implement a way where you can (at least globally) toggle how the OS should see those multi activator drives. Either as a combined drive or as individuals. Oh and as always thank you for doing such a great job with these explanation videos. Not too long, all the important details explained and in a very understandable way.
yeah, I think if the 2 halves were virtualized into a single LUN, that would be easier to use. Welcome to the channel and hope you find more useful content! thanks for watching! :-)

12:49 Hi, I was trying to flash my H330 but it won't pass the RAID BIOS, I have waited for an hour....
Try disabling the Option ROM on the PCIe slot.
Thanks for this video. I thought I had a original LSI card but I have one exactly like yours bought from ebay also.
yeah, I'm seeing more of these Inspur cards floating around on eBay. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with them, but in this case the heatsink feels a bit small for a pretty hot chip.
@@ArtofServer True, I haven't found anything wrong with it. I have it running in a 2u server so the airflow is pretty good. I have 8 SSD's connected to it, I'm not sure if the HBA would run hotter on HDD's compared to SSD's.
Excellent presentation 👏🏾👍🏾. I have the Z440. Managed to mount an nvme on an HP Turbo pci-e nvme adaptor with an old Bois without a single issue. However I want to update the bios. I was a little hesitant.
Thanks! Glad this was helpful! Be sure to checkout the playlist with all the other HP Z workstation videos! :-)

@@ArtofServer Awesome ty, yeah that was a new one for me. I might need it when I try to just piece together a SAS backplane with a 8 disk housing which will be outside of the server because it won't fit inside. I've heard good things about Nocta fans which I might add to that. I'm hesitant to replace the mainOEM Dell fans with Noctuas because they seems to run a lower RPMs so of course they'll be quieter. So, all this because I don't think I would want a NetApp that will add 200Watt on top of my already 150 Watt.
Works for a T420 too, if anyone is wondering......
T420 and which card? The T420 doesn't have a mini monolithic slot right? So it's a Dell PERC PCIe adapter type of card? What's the Dell P/N?
@@ArtofServer Not a mini. Its the original H710p in a PCIe slot. No idea what the P/N is. How can I bash that? Not an IT guy. Its a MegaRAID SAS 2208 [Thunderbolt] version 05 according to lshw
New to your channel and this came as a recommended video, so I watched it. I hope you were able to dispute the theft and keep the money from the sale. As far as the tape over the logos... Louis Rossman touched on this years ago in several videos. The tape is there to cover the log and help slip past customs. Apple, in the context of his video, claimes all parts with their logo are clones, even if those parts are proven to be removed from trash and sold as used. Part of the anti-right to repair tactic, if you can't get parts, you'll buy new.
Hey! Welcome to my channel! :-) No, I was never able to recover any money on this and had to refund this person. :-( Such is life sometimes, but I just focus on the other 99.99% of wonderful people who shop with me and support my store. :-) That's very interesting about the Louis Rossman and logos. I didn't know about that with Apple, but I had heard someone else say it was customs inspection related. Thanks for sharing and hope you find some of my content interesting and helpful!
@@ArtofServer I have been enjoying it, learning a lot and possibly that I made a mistake, but, as you said.... life. Just gotta live and learn.

What is that used for? I say "mistake" as the car runs really hot. Would like to 3D print a shroud and add a fan, but concerned that should a small fan fail, a shround would then assist in it's cooking. I was looking around when I found you to see if there was a way to add a fan and have it RPM monitored (4 pin header maybe?)
Can you tell me if to do this on r630, you must have hba330 or equivalent?
Yes, that's correct
This video is one of those random, should be on the playlist every beginner makes themselves kind of videos. Just for its random go off in a whole new direction learning surprising new things.
Ha ha ha.. wow, you found one of my ancient videos! Hope it was interesting and welcome to the channel! :-)
@@ArtofServer 95%+ of tech / computer / app videos are all the same. Its nice to see something different. Enjoying myself here so far - thanks for the welcome......
will ZFSs arrays typically support 10GB ethernet transfers or 25GB links?
that highly depends on how you configure your ZFS pool, what type of transfers you are doing (sequential vs random, large blocks vs small blocks, etc.) and the performance characteristics of your storage devices.
the solder mask (green overlay on the pcb) can be different shades as they may use different bare pcb manufactorers depending on pricing. Even different lots from the same PCB MFG can be different shades. The best thing to look for is lack of ground vias in the counterfeit along with cheap chinese capacitors instead of better japanese ones
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Can I install an optical drive?
I don't know... can you?
I have this and and no screw. Been looking through my bit and pieces of computer parts but no luck. Thank you for the information 😊
Hope it helped! :-)
While this guide is helpful and makes alot of sense, Im having a hard time getting CentOS on a bootable OS like you have. Do you have a guide on how this has been done as it seems to have been glossed over
Actually, I do: ruclips.net/video/laC7nsY1SyM/видео.html
@@ArtofServer you are honestly helping in the best way
sucks you can't do that to external drives anymore, they have started removing the sata interfaces
I can't quote statistics at the moment, but I've been very pleased with the apparent performance of the built-in LSI-2308 RAID controller on the Z840. There's also a built-in Intel with RSTe RAID controller that's supposed to be even more performant than the LSI controller on the Z840.
Indeed! The only negative I have about the onboard LSI SAS2308 controller is that HP cut half the PCIe lanes. It is a PCIe 3.0 x8 capable chip, but if you check, it is connecting at PCIe 3.0 x4. This is enough bandwidth for HDD and a few SSDs, but it won't be enough if you're using something like 8x SSDs.
Done loads of these back in the old days with the SAS2 cards I could do them with my eyes shut but I struggled a bit getting this one to work with the SAS3109 quirk Thanks so much for this video it helped me get me sorted
Glad this helped! :-)
$29 Australian eBay in 2024. I was shocked. Going to put it into my old HP Z 440.
nice!
Not all heroes wear caps. But those who make a video tutorials for smooth brained people like me, should.
LOL! Hope this helped you? Welcome to my channel! :-)
@@ArtofServer Your channel helped me lots, lots and lots. Thank you <3
