    • RE: XCP-ng 8.3 with VM crashing

      If you are not getting crashes on cores 0-5 (assuming they are in use by your VMs) then its unlikely a physical problem.

      The Ryzen 3600 is only a 6 core CPU, "cores" 8 & 11 are the SMT (Hyperthreaded) versions of cores 2 & 5

      You could also try turning SMT off

      Tested 4.19.265.1 which also has no networking for me, so its not the most recent update that killed it.

      Looks like the "ice" driver is never initialized/loaded, which is what the NIC requires.

      Also appears to be some IPMI_SI errors

      @ThierryEscande said in High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers:

      The kernel-alt package with X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE enabled is available for testing.

      This is for XCP-ng 8.2.1 only for now.

      Use yum to install it:

      yum --enablerepo=xcp-ng-testing install kernel-alt
      

      Reboot and select XCP-ng kernel-alt 4.19.265 at the grub screen.

      It fixes the memory temp reading, and therefore fan controls - BUT I no longer have any networking.
      Reboot to std kernel and its back just fine.

      @olivierlambert said in High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers:

      Hi,

      Does it solve the fan speed issue? If yes, might worth digging more.

      Yes absolutely - fans are operating as per normal/expectation now.

      According to https://support.lenovo.com/ie/en/solutions/tt2254-xenserver-8-cannot-acquire-the-dimm-temperature-and-fan-speed-is-too-fast-on-the-amd-platform-lenovo-thinksystem this is a work around.

      The main problem is:

      CONFIG_X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE is a configuration setting in Linux kernel which would affect initial system HW setting. In this case, due to CONFIG_X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE is not set, the clock source of AMDI0010 (the device inside CPU) can't be registered which results in incorrect I2C command output from it and causes the DIMM temperature retrieval failure in XCC side.
      The system fan speed is automatically varies based on DIMM temperature readings, and when the DIMM temperature being error, the fan speed will be tuned to high rotation.

    • RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers

      @ThierryEscande @bleader @olivierlambert Hope this helps if XenServer don't come to the party.
      Given the new information about the I2C-DesignWare driver - I've disabled it on one of my SR635V3 systems, and I can read the DIMM temps now 🙂

      Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 V3, BIOS KAE118M-4.11

      USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - I have not tested this in production, or found out what else it might effect
      However given the "workaround" provided by Lenovo for XenServer - it should be OK.

      The driver is built into the kernel instead of a module, so had to be blacklisted slightly differently.

      Found which driver to blacklist from kernel init.
      fgrep i2c /boot/System.map-4.19.0+1 | grep init

      Guessed dw_i2c_init_driver as the most likely candidate

      In /etc/grub-efi.cfg I added initcall_blacklist=dw_i2c_init_driver and ran grub-mkconfig then rebooted.

      menuentry 'XCP-ng' {
              search --label --set root root-ltcoyb

      }
      

      Restarted the BMC to be sure, and checked. Previously these reported 0 degrees C for populated DIMM slots.

    • RE: VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!

      @olivierlambert - Yes, so when we do a V2V there is only 1 VIF listed to put the migrated VIFs in to, even if the VM has 5 VIFs

      Is it possible to query each vmx and allow us to select a 'network' for each VIF that it has?

    • RE: VMware migration tool: we need your feedback!

      Any plans to check how many vNICs there are and allow us to map each one correctly.

      All of our vmware VMs have multiple vNICs and are in different port-groups.

      Its not a major hassle to change them post-migration - just a nice-to-have.

    • RE: High Fan Speed Issue on Lenovo ThinkSystem Servers

      I have recently purchased four SR635v3 servers with AMD EPYC 9354P cpu.

      I managed to get some info from Lenovo about how to manually change the fan speeds.

      How to get the existing fan speeds. If this fails, check IPMI settings in the BMC.

      [09:10 xcp01 ~]# ipmitool sdr list | grep -i fan

      Fan 6 Front Tach | 19072 RPM         | ok
      Fan 7 Front Tach | 0 RPM             | ok
      Fan 1 Rear Tach  | 15768 RPM         | ok
      Fan 2 Rear Tach  | 15768 RPM         | ok
      Fan 3 Rear Tach  | 15876 RPM         | ok
      Fan 4 Rear Tach  | 15876 RPM         | ok
      Fan 5 Rear Tach  | 15768 RPM         | ok
      Fan 6 Rear Tach  | 15768 RPM         | ok
      Fan 7 Rear Tach  | 0 RPM             | ok
      Sys Fan Pwr      | 48 Watts          | ok
      

      To change the fans to a fixed percentage - note the decimal "35" this is the percentage of maximum fan speed to set to.

      ipmitool raw 0x3a 0x07 0xff 35 0x01
      

      After a short while for the fans to spin down.

      To revert to auto-fan control you either need to restart the BMC/XCC controller which isn't system impacting.

      Please keep in mind this was stressed to me that its NOT SUPPORTED/RECOMMENDED - and could cause thermal damage to internal components!!

      We only have the M.2 mirror kit with two small disks, no other raid cards or internal disks.
      If you have RAID and internal disks you might want to fix your fans to a higher speed.

      Someone with scripting knowledge could also monitor a few temps and adjust the IPMI fan control accordingly.
      This could even be managed externally via IPMI over LAN for multiple servers.
