We have a DELL server with iDRAC (Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller). Usually, hardware problems related to controllers, storage, or disks are viewed through iDRAC. However, in our case, we see that the Red Hat Linux kernel is reporting the message as - Controller reset is requested due to IO timeout, while iDRAC does not show anything.

I wonder why the kernel is more sensitive than iDRAC and how serious these messages are.

  • ok now I will be happy to hear what you have to say Commented Dec 1, 2024 at 13:27
  • This is pure speculation and I add it as comment. For me this problem you see in kernel logs is based on write and (probably) the error is recovered. And because of this it do not change SMART parameters. And IMHO iDRAC monitor exactly SMART to report for problems with disks. Again, this is pure speculation :) Commented Dec 1, 2024 at 13:35
