Avoid IBM x3650!
alan | 05 July, 2009 20:05It was about six months ago that we got two IBM x3650 servers. Since the very first week after installing operating system and making them operational, we were having several raid controller instability crash problems. First I tried to upgrade aacraid kernel module to some newer versions hoping it would solve the problem; but it didn't help. Then doing more research led me to updating controller, hard drive and main board firmwares. Thank God, that helped to make the whole thing running more stable. But this was not the end of our trouble road. Last week we lost raid 5 configuration on one of the servers running six virtualized servers over XenServer. Long story short, it took a week to be able to recover data from the raid array and setting up a new server to restore it all. Guys! seriously avoid x3650 machines.
