The Intel Management Engine has reported an internal system error.

Log Sequence Number: 136
Detailed Description:
The Intel Management Engine is unable to utilize the PECI over DMI facility.
Recommended Action:
Look for the PWR2264 "normal system operation" message in the Lifecycle Log after the PWR2262 entry. It may take 30 seconds for the message to be logged. If the PWR2264 message does not appear, do the following: Disconnect power from the server and reconnect power. Turn on the server. If the issue persists, contact your service provider.

Intel - "The Intel Management Engine is unable to utilize the PECI over DMI facility"

"We have a Dell PowerEdge R630 Server with Intel Xeon E5-2640 v4 CPUs and we are getting exactly the same error after updating from BIOS 2.3.4 to 2.6.0::

"We have a systemic issue we have experienced this over 100 times. Dell is engaged but we have not made much process. We were told to move from 2.4.3 to 2.6.0 by Dell, the condition still persisted. "

While a CPU failure should be "clean", with gtid and binlog_sync, it should be checked or reimaged before being repooled.

@jcrespo +1 to reimage/reclone from an existing host (or mariabackup!)

@Cmjohnson I guess we need to open a case with Dell about this host and upgrade BIOS/firmware?

Checking other tables now.

I checked the core tables at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/486872

I propose to repool the host, as persistent replication stats worked well as expected:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/486525

Go for it!
Thanks for checking it!

@jcrespo I can update f/w if you need but you will need to depool the host again

It is ok, will that be next week, e.g. Tuesday?

I updated the bios to the latest version as of February 11, 2019 v2.9.1
updated idrac to latest version 2.61.60.60

@Cmjohnson should we also try to exchange the DIMM modules listed at T214720#4937872 and see if they fail again?

@Marostegui I will need to swap DIMM B3 and B7 to the A side. LMK when the server is down and ready

I will put it down now (it is out of service, I only need to downtime it on icinga)

@jynus @Marostegui I swapped DIMM B3 to A3 and B7 to A7 and cleared the idrac log. Please put some stress on the server and let's monitor.

Thanks, I have left it warming the buffer pool/replicating, tomorrow I will create a backup to touch all memory space.

@jcrespo maybe we can leave a mydumper running 24x7 on a loop for days on that host: dumping everything, deleting the backups file, dump everyting and so forth.

I am creating a snapshot right now for testing purposes, will run a dumping process next.

@Cmjohnson db1114 crashed again with the same memory errors on the same slots, so it looks like the mainboard memory slots aren't healthy?

This will most like need a new motherboard. I requested one through Dell

You have successfully submitted request SR986942076.

a new motherboard arrives tomorrow 28/2/2019 to be replaced.

@Cmjohnson remember this host has MySQL down already, so you can just power it off yourself whenever you are ready for the mainboard replacement.
Thanks

Mentioned in SAL (#wikimedia-operations) [2019-02-28T15:15:42Z] <cmjohnson1> powering off db1114 to replace motherboard T214720

the motherboard has been replaced, the idrac and bios have been updated to latest version. resolving task, reopen if there are any problems.

@Marostegui I've chosen not to reimage the server because this is right now a backup testing one, I think it is ok if currently doesn't have the right enwiki data. Feel free to use it for dump testing. I have put it up, caught up replication, and started a backup process in a loop (on a screen session) to check it doesn't go down again, like in T214720#4978949

If you recover a snapshot to it, remember to kill the screen first.

No problem! let's leave the loop there for a few days to see if it crashes
Thank you!

Hi,

@Cmjohnson The remote IPMI password was out of sync. Just mentioning to add it on the to do list for motherboard changes (this and reviewing the boot order, which you did, thank you!). Not a huge issue, just a heads up to prevent people from bothering you (I was able to correct it from localhost).
