Has anyone successfully run * 1.4 with the following configuration (or something very similar)?<br><br>HP DL380 G5 (3Ghz Xeon)<br>CentOS 4.5 (kernel 2.6.9-55)<br>Asterisk 1.4.5 (or 1.4.4)<br>Zaptel 1.4.3 (or <a href="http://1.4.2.1">
1.4.2.1</a>)<br>TE412P<br>TDM400B (2x FXO and 2x FXS modules)<br><br>I've had this rig running * 1.2.18 with Zaptel <a href="http://1.2.17.1">1.2.17.1</a> for several months without any issues. Upon trying to upgrade to *
1.4.4 and Zaptel <a href="http://1.4.2.1">1.4.2.1</a> a few weeks ago, I saw several kernel panics, easily reproduceable with a load test suite that bridged calls from the PSTN to SIP desk phones. The one time I exposed it to real world traffic (a small office, 30 extensions), I saw five panics in the space of three hours.
<br><br>Interestingly, when the load test only walked through the IVR and queues, I couldn't get it to panic, even if I filled the TE412P and had 90 simultaneous calls going through the system. Only bridged calls seem to cause problems.
<br><br>The panics didn't seem to follow any particular pattern. I saw NMI traps a few times, then failures in the wct4xxx interrupt handler, a few "swap tainted" errors, etc.<br><br>To rule out an interaction between the TE412P and the HP motherboard, I moved the installation to an Intel server board (model SE7320) with a 3 Ghz Pentium D. The hard drive was a direct clone from the HP. Running the same load test against
1.4.4/1.4.2.1 - no panics. Running the load test against 1.4.5/1.4.3 - no panics. I'm now nearly 6 hours into having the system exposed to real-world traffic - no panics.<br><br>At this point, I'm pretty much ready to just put this Intel board into a rackmount server and be done with it, but I am interested to see if anyone else has seen similar problems, or if anyone has run this configuration without any problems. Part of me is saying "I can't be the only person to run *
1.4 on a current HP server", which in turn leads me to wonder if this is an incompatibility with the specific board I have, or if I've got a faulty server (though I have run the full HP diagnostic suite several times).
<br><br>Thanks for any feedback you can provide.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>j.
