HP Server Problems, Can Progress or Vantage be

Yahoo Archive

James,
I had a similar problem with my HP LH3 server. We replaced so much in that
server it was like getting a new. I updated the Bios and Raid firmware.
Support finally upgraded to call to the next level
The engineer had me straightened out in no time.
I had to pull the scsi cable from the drive cage - boot the computer -
delete the drive config. reboot redo config - reboot - then run an
consistency check. DO NOT DO THIS WITHOUT HP THOUGHT.
But it did fix my problem for good.
Hope this helps.
Nancy

********************************************
I have a lengtly problem that I wondered if Vantage or Progress could
be causing
To make a long story short
We have a HP LH3000 Net Server
I am running Vantage 5.118 and Progress
I have two 9 gb SCSI Hard Drives with a hardware mirror
I have had problems for two months with the first drive
It keeps failing
I have done EVERYTHING I Can think of!
HP Has replaced EVERYTHING IN the machine
Both Hard Drives
SCSI Back Plane
SCSI Cables
And the motherboard
Guess what
Still having problems with the drives failing
I have reformatted the drives and done a fresh install on Vantage and
progress TWICE

HP Has a 29 day turn around on getting me a new server
While I am waiting and "babying this thing"
I was asked by Micron (Thats who they got the server from)
COuld it be something your software is doing?
I am going to contact Epicor about this but I have been all the way
in the hardware configuration and it says that the drives will not
spin up or initilize or or or

Anyone else had anything similiar?

Thanks

Are you replacing the hard drives with the same brand? Occasionally, you will
encounter a bad batch of hard drives. We purchase a lot of Dell PCs, which for
us have been very reliable, but we had a series of hard drives that failed not
once but several times. Turns out all the HDs in question were the same model
from the same manufacturer. As soon as Dell sent us a HD from a different
manufacturer the problems went away.

Just a thought.
