Ubuntu :: Intel Matrix Storage Manager With 2.6.31
Apr 25, 2010
Ubuntu 2.6.31 - 14 generic
Problem began with RAID0 failure using 2 WD FALS1001 HDDs. I was unable to boot so I replaced the drives with 2 new FALS1001. Installed Win7 64 Ult, installed/updated all drivers/OS and had the same problem with one of the RAID drives again. Usually blue screens with Kernel_stack_inpage_error. I have Intel Matrix Storage version 8.5.0.1030 and can usually boot back into windows even when one disk out of the array shows unknown error (0) and reset the disk to normal. Now it seems to be progressing worse and hit or miss, I can get Windows to load 1 time out of 20 posts.
Sometimes the array shows normal, sometimes failed, sometimes unknown error (0) and other times, everything shows normal and healthy and attempts to boot windows but has read errors or unable to find OS errors. I simply want to access my data via Ubuntu so I can back it up and wipe the drives for re-installation. I see that Intel shows support for Linux but I'm lost as to what I need to do next. Intel link: [URL]. I currently see one of my drives listed in Ubuntu as a RAID component and the other is listed as a hard drive with unknown information. I have loaded mdadm but I'm unfamiliar with how to use it.
I've been using Slackware 13.0 32-bit because of a problem supporting RAID 0 metadata for Intel Matrix Storage Manager. I would like to move to 64-bit with Slackware 13.1 but I can't see any way to use a 64-bit kernel with my RAID setup. Because the "mdadm" in Slackware does not support the "-e imsm" option to read Intel Matrix Storage Manager Metadata I have been using "dmraid". Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a way to make "dmraid" (a 32-bit application) work on 64-bit Linux. It appears that "dmraid" may be unsupported now, and I can't find a good place to get current source to compile on a 64-bit system. Essentially "dmraid" is only a program to interpret metadata and then configure the standard Linux device mapper to set up the required mirror or stripe mapping. So, it actually does not have to interact directly with the kernel.
I believe it only issues I/O requests to read disks and configure "dm" devices. So far I have not had to rebuild "dmriad" since Slackware 10. I don't know if 32-bit libraries are an option, or if those can be added to an initrd image (required to use dmraid before booting). People claim that "mdadm" will work with Intel Matrix Storage RAID 0 but I have never found any detailed information about how to do that. When I've tried the few examples I've run across on Slackware I just get an error that the "imsm" metadata format is not supported. I have not been able to locate a site to browse Slackware packages. I was hoping to find "dmraid" in the 64-bit packages. I think "dmraid" was at one time in Slackware but perhaps not any longer.
I recently bought a new system that has an Intel Matrix Storage Manager "RAID controller" (ICH10R/DO) on it. I'm a bit baffled over what this really is. I see at [URL] that this controller is supported by the Linux dmraid and mdadm commands and supported in the 2.6 kernel version for quite a while. This looks as though it is some sort of convergence of a brain-dead hardware chipset that requires software installed in the OS to manage it. Kind of reminds me of the wimpy Windows modems of the past. How I deployed. I set up two Seagate ST31500541AS disks as a mirrored pair in the hardware controller interface (CTL-I setup after POST).
I installed Fedora 12 in the usual fashion, though was confusing considering I expected a single "RAID device" to be seen by Anaconda. I went ahead and set up the two native /dev/sda and /dev/sdb as a mirrored RAID device on installation (mdadm under the cover). Recently, Palimpsest is insisting that I have a disk problem with "Disk has many bad sectors" error on /dev/sdb. When I run "dmraid -s" it tells me that the meta device is OK and I see no hardware errors in the messages log. I'm not having kernel panics as others seem to have had on RHEL 5.x.
I ran Ubuntu desktop for a while then installed Ubuntu Server 10.4. I restarted the machine after install and now I am freezing at the BIOS loading screen right after the "Intel (R) Matrix Storage Manager option ROM v6.0.0.1022 ICH8R" part.Have tried: taking all USB devices, cd's, etc, out.Edit: ATA AHCI BIOS, Version iSrc 1.02.23 11212006Am installing on a Dell Dimension E520
I am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 to my raid 1+0 array. Install just sees four different hd:s main-0 main-1 storage-0 storage-1
There is not showing any size or anything. I have set two raid arrays: main and storage, both with 4-hard-driver (raid10). Storage array is partitioned to 1TB and 400GB partitions, 400GB partition is where i want to install ubuntu. Main array has windows already. Where to go next?
root@ubuntu:~/src# dmraid -ay RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_main" already active RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_storage" already active RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_main1" already active RAID set "isw_beieefiehj_storage1" already active root@ubuntu:~/src# parted_devices .....
I got opensuse 11 running on a dedicated HDD and got another 4 HDDs created as RAID 10 via the Intel Matrix RAID Controller of the ICH10 southbridge. I simulated a device failure and disconnected one of the drives and during POST the controller simply says that I need to rebuilt the array from the OS. So how am I supposed to do that since there were no usable raid utitlities for openSuSe delivered out of the box.
So my aim is to install openSUSEx64 11.3 onto my Macbook; but for whatever reason, upon boot-up, the system won't recognize the USB thumb drive with the expanded image of openSUSE on it. I followed steps in Terminal to expand the image onto the said USB stick and know it worked properly because Terminal said "Process Completed." Do I need a special type of USB thumb drive or am I missing something? I am using a late-2009 Macbook. By the way, these were the steps used to prep the USB thumb stick:
1. Open a Terminal (under Utilities) 2. Run diskutil list to get the current list of devices 3. Insert your flash media 4. Run diskutil list again and determine the device node assigned to your flash media (e.g. /dev/disk2) 5. Run diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskN 6. Execute sudo dd if=/path/to/downloaded.img of=/dev/diskN bs=1m 7. Run diskutil eject /dev/diskN and remove your flash media when the command completes
My requirement. We have a linux File server which was connected to SAN (IBM DS4700)now I need to increase my capacity by 50GB I've added the 50GB through the IBM storage manager to the File server, but it doesn't showing on my linux file server
I'm interested in buying a new hardware for my company. The old server (now 10 years old) should be replaced with a new one. Till now, I was looking on different hardware suppliers, boards and different other places. I found a Tyan board [URL]. The hardware spec is quite interesting and the board would fullfill our claims.
how both storage devices will be supported by Ubuntu or Debian??
Since an upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04, all wireless devices for me in the plasma network manager applet are not functioning properly on a Dell Latitude E4310. Specific problem: No wireless networks appear in the plasma network manager applet. Manually-configured networks do not connect. A separate CDMA card appears, but cannot establish a connection. The CDMA card does function on 10.10 machines, and formerly worked on this machine. The only wireless 'network' that appears in the plasma network manager widget is 'hidden network'. Manually adding a network and checking "Connect Automatically" does nothing. I attempted a fresh install after the upgrade itself failed the work. There are no networks to click on, and selecting the device itself merely shows the status page.

Neither the CDMA card nor any wireless networks are working. If I take the exact same machine and boot from a disk with 10.10, both work.
I am trying to do the cluster storage with the Rock Cluster storage operating system . I have install the rock cluster on the main server . and I want to connect the client with the PXE boot . when I starting the client then it boot from the PXE boot into the mode of compute node. but it ask the where is to be stored the I have give the path..then server says that not able to find the directory path.
Steps:- 1) insert-ethers 2) client is started with the PXE boot. 3) it detects the dhcp . 4) At last it demand where is to be started by cd-rom, harddisk ,nfs etc.
then I started with the nfs and I have given the lanIp of server.and server is detecting the client but client is not finding the filesystem directory. into export partition directory but it is not taking path.
PATH:- /export/rock/install it is not finding this path then it is not able to start the o/s from PXE boot..Is there any solution and manual of rock or anyother solution then u can reply to me...
I use Codeblocks as IDE environment for my C programs. I recently added the matrix library Meschach, but unfortunately the headers are not found during compiling/linking process.For instance, my generic program is the one below:
I'm writing a command-line flash card program in Python. I've tried many existing applications, but none fit my specialized needs.
All of the words I'd like to study are manually added to a text file (study.txt). Each time the software is loaded, it checks for new words in that file and also compares them to a dictionary (a tab-separated file, dictionary.txt), and adds that to a matrix. The flash cards are thus automatically generated from study.txt and dictionary.txt.
Now, the software must manage lots of information about each word I'd like to study and add new information made while interacting with the program (such as when that word should be studied next).
That seems easy to put into a matrix. But what is the best way to put that information in a place where I can pull it back when I run the software tomorrow? Do I need to save the matrix to a CSV file, then convert the CSV file back to a matrix the next time the application is run?
I have installed fresh fedora 12 & installed many softwares in rpm & tar forms , also i used yum to do installation, all these attempts were successful. But i could not install & configure Epson Dot matrix FX-2175 printer. Epson Dot matrix FX-2175 printer worked fine in my earlier distro fc11.
I have a parallel port Epsom LX 400 dot matrix printer. In the printer proprieties menu it says for make and model Epson 9-Pin Series which it what it is.It's ok when I print directly to the port.
This is one of the strangest problems I've run into while programming. Maybe there's just something wrong with my version of gcc or something.
The main problem comes at this point in the code:
Code: po = makePoFromScorbotXYZPR(X, Y, Z, P, R); h = makeHB2GFromPo(po); printf("%le", *h[1][0]); //##################################### Here it has the right value printf("%s", "
I have installed ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix on my eMachines 350 netbook.. so far, it works good aside from the printer and the built-in SDcard reader.
1. I have tried installing the database driver for epson( dot-matrix printers) but i was out of luck until i have installed the SCP(sorry if I forgot/misrepresented the name) driver which made my printer working.. However, the print quality is a total mess.. broken letters and etc.. (ribbon is brand new) Can someone tell me how to solve this?
2. Having said that I finally solved issue #1, and the printer prints the way it should be, how would I configure my netbook to print wirelessly via a wifi router.. (I was able to do this with windows computers wherein a printer is shared on the network) however, I find it hard to do this in ubuntu since I am not that familiar with this. Note that when I go to system>admin>printing it shows the windows 7 computers in the homegroup but when I search for a shared printer, nothing shows up.. (I know, I'm a NOOB!)
3. This is the last one, I would feel great if we could at least solve this together.. the built in CARD READER is not working on my eMachines EM350 netbook..
Are Intel wireless cards compatible with non-intel-based laptops? In my case I wish to upgrade the current Atheros-based mini pci express wifi card with the Intel 4965agn. It is an Asus 4520 with an AMD Athlon X2 processor and nvidia nForce chipset.
I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.04.1 lts server on my Intel "fakeraid" (software raid) (2x250 sata).To test my RAID 1 I turned off one HD and start the system.The first screen (Intel software screen) show Status = Degraded, but the system starts normally with just one HD.Then I turned off the system and turned on the HD again, so the first screen (Intel software screen) shows Status = Rebuild. If I enter in the software raid panel the folowing message is showed: "Volumes with "Rebuild" status will be rebuilt within the operating system"The system starts normally... but this message status stays permanently even I restart the system again
I am trying to install a program and it spews out an error about the .obj/matrix.o file.
The output is quoted here:
Code:
The program I was trying to install is a robot simulator which performs lots of matrix manipulation and linear system solving. I followed every step in the installation guide, except for this one:
On Ubuntu, all you need to do is install the following packages from the package manager:
libblas-dev liblapack-dev
As shown above, I am using RHEL 6, which has different libraries with Ubuntu. I tried "yum search" and installed these libraries instead: lapack.x86_64 : Numerical linear algebra package libraries blas.x86_64 : The Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms library.
trying to configure an old Epson LX 400 dot matrix printer with cups. I really need this printer to print vauchers. System is Debian SID, latest cups 1.4.3 cups was recently change to reject lsusb printing and now uses libusb. lsusb sees printer, but does not name it:
