Intel xserve activity lights

First gen intel xserve from a long time ago, and was running 10.4.x
I remember it used to have 4 blue leds on the system activity lights on the front of the machine compared to the g5's 2 blue... (and remembered reading that had to do with the 4 cores).
As of recently, and haven't paid attention, I had to upgrade to 10.5, and then to 10.5.7 and the other day when I was downstairs, noticed that the 4 system leds were gone and it now just looks like the g5's when it's not doing anything. However, when I run compressor and have all 4 going full blast and look carefully at the front, it does still look 4 sets, but i havent been able to see just the four individual lights.
I've just been accustomed to looking at the front and seeing 4 individual blue lights, so was wondering if it sounds normal...

Hey there,
Welcome to the board..
Had exactly the same problem 3 weeks ago. I pulled the thing completely apart and rebuilt and reset all the hard reset buttons inside. Still no joy. Had a spare's kit so replaced the logic board and away it went perfectly. Spoke to Apple techincal and they replaced the logic board from my spare's kit. They offered to swap the entire machine but time was not on my side so this was the quicked way to solve the issue. I did spend 1 hour on the phone to them to check and they agreed with my prognosis. Interested to know if you get any further with yours than I did - fingers crossed for you. Guessing there was a dud batch or similar.

  • Intel Xserve No Activity Lights

    Hey I'm trying to find out what could be wrong with our new Intel Xserve. It's fresh out of the box and set up on it's rack. We try to turn it on and it looks as if everything is well but the blue activity lights don't come on. We tried changing the startup method, and that doesn't work either. Anyone have any ideas?
    BTW, this is my first post. Glad to be here!

  • No xServe system activity lights in 10.8 Server

    Hi there,
    i have installed Mountain Lion Server on my xserve and everything is fine but the "System activity lights"
    do not come to live at boottime as the did in Lion server.
    I know they need a kext because by the time i was installing 10.7 server they only startet after installing the server app.
    So this time i assumed ot would be the same but it did not.
    Does anybody know which kext i have to install there to bring the lightsback?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    I phoned apple support on this one, after a lot of explaining (to a rep with poor english), eventually i was told "not work in yosemite", end of case.
    We are on our own for this one.

  • Intel Xserve Lights Out Management Config Question

    When setting up my Intel Xserve I was confused and still am about the way LOM is set up.
    Ethernet port 1 uses IP XXX.XXX.XXX.50 for web
    Then LOM asked for another IP address on port 1 so I gave it XXX.XXX.XXX.51
    How can one port have 2 different IP addresses?
    Server monitor connects to XXX.XXX.XXX.51 and all of the other server tools connect to XXX.XXX.XXX.50
    Is this correct?
    I use port 2 for internal use. Should I use port 2 for LOM?

    >Thank you and I did read it before. So what I doing is correct?
    What you did is valid, yes. correct? maybe not.
    Specifically, I'm concerned by the statement:
    >Then LOM asked for another IP address on port 1 so I gave it XXX.XXX.XXX.51
    I use port 2 for internal use. Should I use port 2 for LOM?
    From your description it sounds like ethernet 1 is used for your public network. This means you've configured LOM in your public network, meaning (firewall aside) anyone can hit your LOM from outside the network, shutdown your machine etc., etc.
    I would only ever configure LOM on an private/internal network. There should be no reason to manage LOM from the public network.

  • Can't Power on Intel XServe

    I'm unable to sucsesfully power up an intel XServe. After I plug back in the power it boots up, at least by looking at the front panel lights.  The fan kicks into high, the power light comes on, the first set of activity lights come on and the system id light comes on.  However, I don't get anything on the monitor. I have removed all the RAM thinking it was a memory issue but that had no effect.  I took out the PRAM battery, removed all the drives.  Still nothing.  If I push the power/standby it seems to go into standby.  If I then power it down and restart via the front pwr button it seems to cycle on and off or perhaps sleep.  The pwr light comes on for 5 seconds, the system id light flashess 3 times then stedy, and the RAM lights come when the pwr light is on. The machine did come on last week but seems to have died sometime after last friday.  Any suggestions would be great.
    Brad

    Brad, did you happen to have server monitor set up on this box? It would have been nice because you would be able to see the status on a remote machine.
    Are you sure it is not actually booting properly but with no video? Can you ping it from another machine?
    If you turn it on you say the sytem id light is flashing?

  • Intel Xserve and Apple Xserve Diagnostics

    Has anyone figured out how to run the Apple Xserve Diagnostics (AXD) that is included with the new servers? The documentation is very poor to say the least, in once instance the user guide says to see the user guide for more information. Another pdf says to refer to www.apple.com/server/documentation for information on AXD yet this site has no mention of the intel Xserve yet. I've searched the service manual and got much of the same run around.
    I've managed to install the AXD on another Mac OS X server and activated the netboot image but it does not appear to run in the same manor as the Apple Remote Diagnostics for the Xserve G5s. Any help is appreciated!

    Unless someone knows different the only place I know of is here:
    https://gsx.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/GSXAppServer.woa
    You need an Apple ID. To access the Service Source you'll probably need a Tech ID. Alternatively you could apply for the CD from Apple directly? Or from an Apple Authorized Repair Specialist. You could take the XServe directly to either of those locations and see if they can run the Diagnostic tools for you?

  • Intel Xserve power problems

    As of recently, I just started noticing a issue with powering on a new intel xserve. If the machine is running, using LOM and shut down works beautifully. After I shut it down, using LOM and the button works beautifully. If i attempt to turn it back on a few min later, it works fine.
    If I leave it off for a day or so, even though the lights are on on the front of hte machine, LOM can see the server, but "power on" doesnt do anything, and hitting the front power button doesn't do anything. I have to unplug it from the UPS and replug it in for it to turn on.

    Hi Forum folks.
    I've had a 6-month (ish) Xserve doing the same thing. Every day, at least once a day, I'd get an email / SMS, saying the power supply or blower was having a momentary problem.
    After shutting down the server, I pulled out the Power Supply Units, and checked them out.
    Turns out, one of them had a slightly damaged heat sink (damage visible without opening the PSU). So, I swapped it for a spare I'd purchased. And then got the damaged unit (damaged internally at factory by the look of it) replaced by my Apple Reseller.
    Note: the newer Intel XServes (early 2008) have a 750w PSU, compared to a 650w PSU, in the 2006 Intel XServes. The older PSUs fit in the newer Xserves, but they DO NOT function. (You'll get an error in Server monitor).
    Hope that helps,
    Cheers,
    Derek

  • Intel Xserve

    Does anyone know when the new Intel XSERVE's will come out and also when Os X Server will support Intel Processors

    Apple have publicly stated that their entire Mac hardware line will migrate to Intel by the end of the year.
    Anything more specific than that is pure conjecture. No one here is going to have any answer before Apple formally announce it. Sure, there are Apple employees active on these boards, but they all seem to like their jobs too much to reveal anything about unannounced products (assuming they know anything relevant - it's unlikely that anyone outside of the specific Server development teams know much at all.

  • Intel Xserve not contactable via Server Monitor

    I simply cannot get our new Intel Xserve to show up in Server Monitor. The app just sits there saying "waiting for a response". Our old G5 Xserve shows up, in 10.4 Server Admin and 10.5 Server admin, on either box. Apart from this, the server is functioning normally, no errors, Open Directory, Home Directories, Apache etc. But it's really annoying as in their current environment I need to keep an eye on the core temp etc. Can anyone suggest a way to find out what is wrong?
    Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated.

    Connect onto the Xserve box (on the console or ARD or such) and follow the instructions to set up the LOM port with a unique IP address, and ensure you're on the same LAN and subnet as the LOM port.
    [Here's the basic LOM configuration sequence|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2773].
    The initial configuration is (often) via Server Monitor invoked directly on the local box and connected directly to the local host.
    Use a unique IP for the LOM on each NIC it is active on.
    And remember to power-cycle (and unplug) the box when you make significant changes to the LOM.
    It's possible to do this via ipmitool if you don't have graphics console access to the box, but (for the sake of brevity) that access is being assumed here.

  • Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.5 won't let me in via login

    A power outage appears to have created some issues with my intel Xserve, running Leopard server 10.5.5
    The System identifier light was blinking, so I booted up from the Leopard disk and found out that my mirrored internal array needed to be rebuilt. No problem, 4 hours later, I repair permissions on the mirrored internal array, everything gets "repaired". Change bootup disk to the internal 10.5.5 mirrored array and reboot. System Identifier light stopped blinking, things were looking good.
    The login screen comes up and when I put in the admin username and password, the screen does the shake of the wrong login.
    What's weird is, on my laptop I can use Server Admin, Workgroup Manager, and the screen sharing for the server....with the admin username and password.
    So, I figure, perhaps the mirror rebuild requires me to reset the admin password. So, boot back up from the Leopard Server install DVD, run the password utility. and reset the main account password.
    I change the boot drive back to the internal mirror, same thing. I'm stuck. I can't get past the login screen on the actually server....or via the screen sharing...and Server Monitor appears to be stuck at 'waiting for response'. I can, again, use Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on my laptop and make changes to the X server software....but I can't log into the X serve.
    My webpage, wiki, etc....are all serving fine. But, I'd like to be able to figure out what I'm doing wrong...log back in and run super duper, etc.
    Help...please...

    Spent all day with apple support. They said it sounded like the LADP database was corrupted. They had me try to login as root, via an opendir account, etc. No luck.
    So, they suggested I do a fresh install of the Leopard server on an external drive. Did that. They then suggested I use my laptop and the workgroup manager app to log in to the xserver, export users, groups and computers....and to copy over the library/collaboration folder to the external "clean install" of Leopard server.
    Did that and followed the instructions to "relink" the metadata.plist files in each group, to the GUID to the groups in workgroup manager. First issue, they weren't different GUID strings.
    Well, that didn't work...kept getting file not found error. When trying to access the domain.com/groups/groupname...it should've asked for authentication. And let me into that wiki...but no, apache error page.
    So, they had me create a new "test" group....added a user. Start and stopped the web...etc. This didn't create a new wiki entry (when we replaced my custom index.html to the default index where groups/wikis/blogs populate automatically at the main). And, there's no new "test" folder in the library/collaboration files.
    They then said "well, it must be because you don't have reverse DNS configured right, that's why the new wikis won't set up". I've contacted dyndns.com...but I don't think that's the problem.
    So, I've rebooted my xserver to the internal drive. The wiki and blog is still there, still accessible the way I like....I still can't login to the xserver.
    So, I'm wondering, if anyone knows a way I can boot up my xserve in the target drive mode, hook up my laptop and replace / swap whatever admin files so that when I boot up my xserve, I can login again.
    There has to be a way to hard fix a hidden file? Replace a DB? Some awesome terminal command to get me in and fix the admin account / password....
    Or, does anyone know if the reverse DNS issue applecare cites is legit? Doesn't make sense how, the same public ip and domain name, that's worked for some time...suddenly doesn't???
    I'm hoping someone can help me.

  • 3rd Party Hard Drives on Intel Xserve

    We purchased an Intel Xserve with 3 80GB Apple SATA drives in the three bays. As we did with our G4 Xserve previously, we wanted more storage and opted to install higher capacity drives.
    We ended up buying four (don't ask!) Seagate Baracuda 400GB SATA 7200 drives. Two worked fine but the other two would (about half the time) either show up on the login desktop about 15-45 seconds after the main desktop appeared after a reboot and occasionally wouldn't show up at all until another reboot was performed. Only about 1/3 of the time they actually show up fine and simultaneously when the main login desktop loads (like they should).
    So thinking it might be a vendor problem, we purchased a Maxtor 500GB SATAII 7200 drive. Same problem.
    On the occasions when the drives don't show up at all, System Profiler doesn't show anything in the bay, nor does Disk Utility see it. Nothing in the system.log or hwmond.log.
    There didn't seem to be any problems with the original 3 80GB Apple drives (also Seagate Barracudas) that originally came with the Intel Xserve.
    Does anyone know why this may be happening? Is it Apple's way of forcing you to buy their (overpriced) hard disks? Why would 2 of 5 3rd party drives work OK and the other 3 not?
    We never had a problem using numerous 3rd party SATA drives in our existing G4 Xserve.

    Don,
    We' upgraded our 2 80GB Apple SATA drives to Maxtor 750 SATAII drives (the ones Apple appears to use in their own modules of that size). I found one drive would consistently mount just fine, either after a reboot or removing and reinserting the module. The other would stay in "orange light" condition - never attempting to access it. (no blue light flicker). What I found after taking the drive back out of the module and reinstalling it is that there appears to be a great sensitivity to pressure on a cable that runs under the drive (and appears to only activate the lights in the front of the drive). For instance, I tested by not screwing the drive into the module at all (mearly letting gravity keep it in the module) and hooking it back up. It mounted immediately. Putting one screw in at a time, I found that the drive would not mount after inserting the second screw. More games allowed me to get all four screws in, the drive would mount but the lights would stay orange. Leaving the drive screwed in, but putting some finger pressure on a side of the drive near the front of the module shifted the drive slightly, and afterwards the drive mounted properly with appropriate signal light behavior.
    If your drive is anything like mine, my guess is that it is very slightly larger than the 80GB drive and pressing the cable into the frame either shorting it, or giving it bad contact via pressure on it's connector at the back of the module. Try shifting the cable, relieving pressure on the drive, etc. until it appears to reliably mount. I've had no problems with the drive since performing this proceedure (though it's only been a bit over a week).
    Good luck!

  • 2 Intel Xserves, both running fast and both unable to connect to Server Mon

    Hey guys -
    Since this is happening to two identical machines, I'm wondering if I'm just not doing something right.
    I have two Xserves, both essentially functioning as metadata controllers for an Xsan volume. They don't do anything else but they both run fullblast at all times.
    When I initially set them up, I disabled LOM on them. However, I can't connect to either of them using the Server Monitor. This is being done locally through a belkin KVM switch, so it's nothing to do with firewall issues. They're both on two networks, a private one (for the Xsan metadata) and a public one that operates through proxy servers. Currently, neither of them can physically connect to the internet (owing to an error in the proxy settings I'm guessing), both other machines in the local network and see them and connect to them.
    They're both the same configuration, with 2GB of RAM, and operating at 10.4.8. They have dual power supplies and are running into two separate UPSs for power redundancy.
    I was wondering if updating to 10.4.10 would have an effect on them, or if there was a procedure to reset the PMU (or SMU or SMC or whatever they call it these days) on them.
    I've been searching these forums for similar issues, but most of them seem to be related to intel xserves which actually HAD LOM turned on, and these guys do not.
    If it isn't any of these issues, how would I go about thermally recalibrating both of them?

    well, I done fixed it.
    After I got LOM up and running (127.0.0.1 was the way to go), I was able to see that the CPU intake fans were all blowing at a strong 16K rpm. Not a good sign, even though there were no warning lights going off and everything was reported as green and normal. Since this SAN lived in a hushrack (two servers and two RAIDs all told), I first tried to isolate airflow out of the equation by removing the back enclosure and opening the front door. Even after the heat dissipated, it ran at top speed. I ran all software updates possible, installed the OS onto an empty hard drive, and still got the same thing. I yanked one of the systems out of the rack it was in and swapped the fibre card from slot 1 to slot 2. I started it back up before returning it to the rack and, goodness me, it topped off between 5K-6K. I was so happy with myself that I tossed it back into the rack, patched it all back in, and fired it up. Boom. After about a minute of being on, it rocketed upwards straight to 16K rpm.
    So now it was a matter of playing the isolation game. I pulled fibre cables, I tested the power cables in both the UPS and straight into the wall, I pulled the KVM switch out and just stood by listening for any changes.
    It turned out to be two bad ethernet cables, of all things. I'd plug the cable in and the fans would start their best jet engine impression. The primary metadata controller had a bad metadata cable, and the open directory master had a bad public ethernet cable.

  • Intel Xserve won't boot from 3rd party drive in ADM

    Right, I've got a Late 2006 Xserve Dual 2.66 with the normal non-RAID SAS/SATA board, which has been running fine for 2 years with a pair of non-Apple Seagate Barracuda ES 250GB drives (Bay 1 & 2), and an original 80GB ADM in Bay 3 as a spare boot disk.
    Bay 1 & 2 are set up using SoftRAID and are partitioned into a boot volume (30GB) and a data volume (200GB), both RAID 1 mirrors. The boot volume is cloned nightly to Bay 3 (single volume, set up using Disk Utility). Data is backed up to a utility machine, so this is arrangement lets me handle any single drive failing.
    This arrangement has worked fine for 2 years, and allows me to remotely boot off Bay 3 and run DiskWarrior or other disk maintenance software on the normal boot drive without having to drive across town with a firewire drive. I originally started with Mac OS X Server 10.4, but I'm now on Mac OS X Server 10.6.4.
    Where things have come unravelled is, I need to upgrade the two 250GBs to something larger. I didn't realise that the Intel Xserve is pretty fussy with ADM sleds and the model of SATA drive they will work with. I didn't have any issues when I set up the Barracuda ES 250GB so wasn't expecting any problems this time.
    I bought a pair of Seagate Constellation ES 500GB drives (well 3 actually, one to keep on the shelf as a spare).
    I installed them in the sleds and inserted them in the Xserve. The green power LEDs came on but the drives weren't recognised in Disk Utility or System Profiler. I then added the jumper to set them to 1.5Gb/s and then they mounted. I went through my normal process of cloning the OS to them from a standard disk image I have of a known working OS install, ran Disk Utility to repair disk & repair permissions, Disk Warrior to check everything else (my standard paranoid procedures). Set the startup disk to the new install and rebooted. No joy, just the flashing question mark folder. Reboot with the option key, and the new volume doesn't appear in the list of available boot options.
    I installed the drives in a firewire enclosure, and it booted without any problems, so it's not a corrupt install, it's something to do with the ADM sleds.
    So to go back to basics, I tried initialising a single drive as a single volume and installed 10.6.4 server fresh from the DVD. Same result, no boot when in installed in ADM sled, boots fine in firewire case.
    Erased drive, changed formatting to APM (rather then GPT), cloned OS, etc. Won't boot when in ADM sled, boots fine from firewire case. So that screws the theory that drives have to be GPT to boot on Intel hardware.
    So I ordered a set of WD RE3 500GB drives (x 3) and repeated this whole process. Same deal, boots fine in firewire, won't boot when installed in ADM. GPT vs APM doesn't make any difference.
    Try #3. Ordered desktop variants rather than server class drives. So armed with a pair of WD Caviar Black 500GB. Same deal, boot fine from firewire, will not boot when installed in ADM. Also required jumpers for 1.5GB/s and also the undocumented pins 7&8 (apparently this might be related to the new Advanced Format they are using)
    Try #4
    A pair of Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB. This is where it gets tricky. One of the Barracuda will boot the Xserve when installed in an ADM, and one will not. So 2 Barracuda 7200.12, both same model number (ST3500418AS), both same firmware (CC38), yet they behave differently.
    Try #5
    Barracuda ES.2 250GB (x 3). Won't boot in ADM, will boot firewire.
    Try #6
    WD Caviar SE16 250GB (WD2500KS)
    Boots in ADM (Yay!!) and firewire
    Try #7
    WD Caviar SE16 500GB x 2 (WD5000AAKS)
    Boots in ADM and firewire
    I've managed to get access to G5 Xserve (2.3DP) so I've repeated all this testing on it as well. The G5 doesn't care about the model of drive and boots from any of them using a 10.5.6 install with APM formatted drives.
    I've tried all these drives in 4 different models of ADM sled. One thing I have determined is that the model of sled determines if you need to use the 1.5GB/s jumper. I have 2 sleds from G5's, they require the jumper, a 80GB Intel ADM sled with separate data and power plugs requires the jumper, and an Intel 160GB ADM sled with the ribbon cable and combined data/power plug doesn't require the 1.5GB/s jumper. APM vs GPT formatting again makes no difference.
    So on the Intel machine, the drives work in the sleds, appear as normal drives on desktop or in Disk Utility when logged in, and also appear as normal drives when connected via SSH if Auto Login is disabled. So to me they appear to be working drives.
    It appears to me that something changed at a low level between the Barracuda ES and ES.2 generations of drives (for WD drives as well since the Caviar SE16 that boots is a similar age to the Barracuda ES)
    So then why won't it boot from them? Is there some magic dance I've missed?
    And how come one of the 7200.12 will boot, while another identical model won't?
    Any tips or suggestions greatly appreciated.

    I don't have an answer for you, but you deserve thanks for all the useful hardware information you posted from your trial-and-error testing.
    My impression has that the XServes need specific kinds of firmware and hardware monitors on their drives in order for everything to function smoothly. My own efforts swapping drives in ADMs has produced "mixed results" to put it mildly. It would be so much easier if we knew what kinds of drives worked properly in what kinds of ADMs and on which Macs/XServes.

  • Intel Xserve will NOT boot from hard disk drive

    I have two Intel Xserves 2.0 QC machines
    I have tried to re-install version 10.4.11 OS (don't ask) onto a Hard disk drive that is in a Disk drive caddy and inserted in the machine.
    When booting from The installation DVD media
    The disk is seen by the "Disk Utility" (the disk is partitioned as GUID boot) and the installation proceeds to the disk.
    Once the first pass of the installation is complete and the system reboots, the system shows the folder and ? mark.
    If I boot and hold "ALT" key to view all avaialble boot options the Hard Disk Drive does NOT appear as valid boot disk.
    It does show, the still inserted Installation DVD.
    I CAN boot from an external firewire drive and the Hard disk drive is visible to the OS once logged in.
    I have tried different caddy postions (left, middle and right)
    I have tried bona fide Apple supplied Disk drives
    I have tried various different caddies
    I have tried installing Operating System 10.5.*  and  10.6.8 server
    I have run SMC reset and system reset
    But still I cannot boot off from any Hard Disk Drive inserted in a caddy at the front of the system.
    Has anyone seen this behaviour?
    Is it fixable?
    Do I have replace something like the Hard Disk Drive back plane circuit board? Or even the main logic board?
    I have now run out of ideas and cannot find any help in discussions or just googling.
    ANY help would be very appreciated
    Regards
    Tony

    Antonio Hi !
    QC = Quad core  or  QX as it is written on the "pull out" serial number tab at rear of system
    I have 3 late 2006 Intel xserves
    On my intial posting I declared 2 were 2.0 machines - when I was trying to be concise
    2 of the macines are 2.66 systems and 1 is 2.0 system - all are QX machines
    the 2.0 and 1 of the 2.66 will NOT boot from the ADM and disk inside the system - whereas the other 2.66 system will.
    I have many different Caddies and these have different product/model number labels
    603-9965
    603-9545
    603-9796
    these are marked "intel SATA"
    The 80Gb was only one of the drives tested - I have used Seagate 400Gb 750Gb and 1Tb  -  all of which have been used in systems at one time or another
    and as I said the drives ARE visible once the operating system (either installation DVD or external firewire are booted from) - they are just NOT visible when the system is searching for boot media.
    Thanks for the guide - I will look through that and continue to try and find an answer

  • Intel Xserve + Xserve RAID + SCSI

    I have a requirement for an Intel Xserve system that I can connect an Xserve RAID and SCSI tape autoloader to. It seems that Apple won't let me configure a system with a SCSI card and a fibre channel card in it at the same time, and repeated phone calls to them have yielded precisely nothing (very disappointed with the lack of professionalism and knowledge displayed by the Apple sales and tech staff on this matter).
    Can I have such a configuration? It seems that I can only fit a fibre channel PCIe card in expansion slot 1 as it is too long to fit in slot 2 which is limited to 6" long cards. I've seen that Atto do PCIe SCSI cards but there is no mention on their site about whether they will fit/work in slot 2 of an Xserve and emails to them have gone unanswered.
    If anyone has any info on this, or could point me in the direction of the info, I would be very grateful. Or if what I want isn't possible, ideas on how to back up a 7TB array without direct attached tape storage would also be appreciated.

    Actually, having just looked at the store, Apple
    don't seem to offer any PCIe SCSI cards, just a PCI-X
