Since you hit a lot of problem using SUSE, Can you try redhat?
We are using redhat 2.1 on production , with 2 6650 nodes for more than 1 year,
no problem so far.
And we used 6600/redhat 2.1 too, no problem.
Oracle was 9.2.0.1 and later upgraded to 9204.
> Today we upgraded to the most recent Dell BIOS A14 and verified that the
Megaraid bios was up-to-date as well. Then we installed the latest megaraid
driver from the LSI site, version 2.10.1. Re-ran our stress tests, and 450
loads in, we are still getting the Oracle errors. Our next step is to remove
the 6650 and replace it with a 2650. We've never had an error on the stress
test 2650.
>
> We've done a lot of research on the Dell sites and elsewhere. There are
several people having trouble with 6650s, usually with Linux, some with Windows
. But I suppose the windows people think a system hang is normal (sorry, couldn
't resist). We've already been told by Dell that Suse isn't supported. But my
company just bought over 60 servers from Dell, so I'm going to bump this up the
Dell food chain.

> 4) Max open files for oracle user at 1024 doesn't appear to be a
> problem. It is set to 1024 on working and non-working systems and 16384
> on a non-working system.
> 5) Broadcom GigE cards may or may not have contributed to the problems.
> 6) Hyperthreading on or off, broken servers are still broken.
>
> Based on this I think that there is a fairly good chance (I HOPE) the
> problem is:
> 1) Dell 6650 chipset/motherboard issues with kernel 2.4.21-190_smp and

> 2) Megaraid controller hardware or megaraid2 driver issues (running
> 2.00.8 from SuSE while 2.10.0.1 is current from LSI)
> 3) Some other kernel or driver problem that is not directly related to
> anything above, but eventually causes a resource starvation that does
> affect the components tested. I hope this isn't the problem.
