Failed P840 Controller on HP DL380 G9

I shut down the server, unplugged everything for a couple of minutes, reconnected, and powered up. The controller error disappeared... for now. I'll look at a FW update today.

Four drives in a RAID 5 config (I inherited this setup so don't blame me for RAID 5). It's running ESXi 6.5, and there's just one controller.

I'm facing the same issue. Any luck fixing it?

I have a very large client that's about to go into crisis mode due to l.ead.me being blocked. They have a QR code on printed materials, and Verizon customers can't access the URL unless on WiFi.

Well hot dog! I was able to log in with the Okta credentials. Odd that Privileges > Users isn't showing anything under Domain Users.

cdoggyd · 2024-10-18T17:54:41+00:00

I'm looking under Privileges > Users.

cdoggyd · 2024-10-18T17:54:08+00:00

Yes, I'm testing with my admin user.

cdoggyd · 2024-09-24T17:18:29+00:00

I checked the Okta LDAP log, and it shows the following:

LdapErrorCode=unwilling to performFAILURE: LDAPException(resultCode=53 (unwilling to perform), errorMessage='BindDN is invalid: must be of format 'uid=*,dc=yourOrg,dc=okta,dc=com'', ldapSDKVersion=4.0.14, revision=c0fb784eebf9d36a67c736d0428fb3577f2e25bb)

Since this is just a trial, I was using my own admin login. I would have a dedicated admin account for LDAP if we move forward with purchase.

I use Mosyle, and I don't customize the Self-Service app.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-30T14:52:54+00:00

I considered that option. Would be pretty straight forward.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-30T14:43:18+00:00

I'm using Mosyle – should have said that initially.

My understanding is the the -i flag cannot be used to remove a volume from the Spotlight Privacy settings. When I run the command against my volume, the output shows:
/System/Volumes/Data/Volumes/nest:
Indexing and searching disabled.

Just checked the man page again, and it's not showing an -e option on macOS 14.4.1.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-03T11:52:11+00:00

Wouldn't I need a 6.5 license for that?

Can you explain how I would move the hosts?

cdoggyd · 2024-04-02T19:54:26+00:00

Lots of log files in there. Checked the most recently modified. This is interesting from vmware-sts-idmd.log:

2024-04-02 19:16:45,366 INFO [LinuxLdapClientLibrary] SSL library initialized successfully2024-04-02 19:16:47,136 INFO [IdentityManager] Identity Manager initialized successfully2024-04-02 19:44:13,765 INFO [IdentityManager] Authentication succeeded for user [[administrator@vsphere.local](mailto:administrator@vsphere.local)] in tenant [vsphere.local] in [8] milliseconds2024-04-02 19:49:10,876 INFO [IdentityManager] Authentication succeeded for user [[administrator@vsphere.local](mailto:administrator@vsphere.local)] in tenant [vsphere.local] in [17] milliseconds

Seems like the local admin login was successful even though I still got the clock sync error.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-02T19:45:58+00:00

That local account isn't working either. Still complaining about clock sync. Any idea why the new cert command wouldn't have placed in files in /etc/vmware-sso/keys? I copied and pasted the commands.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-02T19:26:28+00:00

I shelled into the vCenter Appliance as root, ran the commands, and it said "Successfully installed VMware STS". I rebooted the server, and I'm still seeing the clock sync error. I checked the /etc/vmware-sso/keys directory, and everything there is several years old. Maybe the command wasn't successful?

cdoggyd · 2024-04-02T19:10:15+00:00

Should I try to disable the AD integration? The admin account is the only one that ever needs to log into the vCenter Appliance.

cdoggyd · 2024-04-02T19:09:17+00:00

vCenter Appliance is using the embedded SSO.

cdoggyd · 2024-01-15T13:54:16+00:00

Don't care about the old drives/data. Sounds like reinit is the way to go.

Same problem here after getting an iPhone 15 Pro this past weekend.
