Note to Self:

Great.

After updating to service pack 7 on a Dell PowerEdge 2650, the thing locks up a few times a day. I was able to get the Remote Access Card to work and found that it was halting on “Error: Critical Sectioning prevents requested FATFS operation.” It looks like a storage driver issue.

I checked back after disabling the restart on abend option. It looks like rsync was abending and the server could not write to the abend log because it was a serious lock up. I wonder if indeed the storage driver and rsync are not playing well together.

After a few days, ZLS.NSS abended.

SCSI bios is 3.10

I ran a verify.  Every time it gets to a certain point, I get an abend.

-UPDATE-

The same thing happened on another Dell 2650.  It has to do with the older firmware on these devices.  Both servers where simply replaced.
