Re: Install Fails on T5240
Hi Jeremy,
Update: I was incorrect regarding the dimms they should be 1.8v. Note:
The "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0819" part number dimms work on my t5140
and t5120.
Pulled my t5140 and t5120 from storage, they are very similar to your
t5240. Experienced the same memory related issues, forgot about
installing all matching dimms when I put these server away years ago.
Had a mixture of 16 ("Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0819" and "Samsung
M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0816"). Both systems didn't like that. Even though
each dimm is 4GB and the part numbers seem similar, the difference with
the revision "0819" vs "0816" caused a problem. As such, I filled all
16 dimm slots with only "Samsung M395T5160QZ4-CE66 0819" and memory
related errors stopped.
A) Regarding Memory Errors:
use ILOM CLI:
-> show faulty
For example: "show faulty" output shows dimm location
/SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 as bad. To fix it:
--> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 clear_fault_action=true
--> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/BR0/CH0/D0 component_state=Enabled
#you must do this for all devices/components listed within the show
faulty output.
--> reset /SP
B) Regarding not being able to connect to ilom from a modern web browser
with https:
* Will assume you already have ethernet mgmt port configured via ilom.
--> show /SP/network
Note: Disable https and enable http via ilom cli.
-->set /SP/services/http servicestate=enabled
--> set /SP/services/https secureredirect=disabled
--> set /SP/services/https servicestate=disabled
*Please share if you have a better way. Haven't had any luck with newer
web browsers connecting to ILOM via https (on older servers like this).
C) Regarding being unable to connect to the t5140 ethernet mgmt port via
ssh. add HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa to your ssh.
For example:
ssh root@192.168.21.138
Unable to negotiate with 192.168.18 port 22: no matching host key type
found. Their offer: ssh-rsa,ssh-dss
$ ssh -o HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-rsa root@192.168.1.18 (use ip of
your t5240 management port).
D) Recommend you populate either 8 or 16 dimms according to the
following diagram. Otherwise, "show faulty" may generate warnings/errors
regarding degraded memory performance.
The following is helpful:

For T5120:

E) Also recommend installing latest Oracle ilom/firmware for your t5240
server. (SysFW 7.4.11 based on ILOM 3.0 147310-15)
