    You can't just flash the firmware. You must make changes in Uboot which is only available via the console. You'll need to disassemble and replace the broken pin or attach wires to the board. Console access is not optional for the conversion. See post 35...

    Choosing the right UPS to a server

    I have a number of APC units from 650 to 2200va in service. Most are Smart UPS units purchased from ebay. The newer smtxxxx units do pretty well on battery lifetime as my usage is primarily for quick outages. The only time the units seem to have an issue is when a battery dies. Things are...

    SMART Predictive failure only when connected to HP RAID controller

    I have a pair of new old stock 8TB HGST SAS drives made in 2014 that are throwing a SMART predictive failure but ONLY when connected to HP RAID controllers. I've taken them out of my production system for now but when connected to an LSI controller there are no SMART warnings. Anyone else seen...

    Educate me on storage enclosures

    I have an HP DL380 G9 with the SmartArray p840 and HP 12g SAS expander. I'm contemplating adding another 12 bay 3.5" storage enclosure but I'm not 100% clear on exactly how this would work. Will the new enclosure need 4x connections back to the expander or just one? What are the odds a Dell...

    Can you paste the output of mfginfo? What have you tried? Different Aruba OS version and another factory reset? Shouldn't matter but won't hurt anything to try. We don't know what you have tried at this point, only that it isn't working.

    This should be correct. Does anyone know if the value is case sensitive? I used lower case letters on all of mine because that's what my generator gives. proginv system ccode CCODE-US-cc6983f643cd4760cf9c008c504afe5f8f039f18 Other thought, copy the serial number directly from the unit and...

    There should be an error in the VC telling you why they are not connecting.

    Thank you, a couple questions/confirmation that I'm understanding correctly This looks like you are using os6. Does that mean it will work with AP-325 units that only have 256 MB RAM? Does the same process work with os8? To generate the proper hash in step 1 for an AP-325 with SN: AA9581335...
