    Hi Tom,

    Ticket is 1009172, i've got an answer now, i answered too.

    Yes i have 2 DSS servers with exactly the same hardware.

    With the second one, i never had this problem but may be there are less load because it was used as backup (but like my defective one, i updated it with USB Stick and i created atleast 3 times iSCSI volume on it).-

    Just checked the logs and it does look like a slow raid and the cpu load is very high - check the cache settings on the RAID controller.
    All the best,

    I check ARECA GUI of my 1680, i don't have a lot of option :

    Volume Option:
    Volume Stripe Size : 64 KB (or 4, 8 16, 32, 128)
    Volume Cache Mode : Write Back (or Write Through)
    Tagged Queuing : Enabled

    System Option:
    SATA NCQ Support : Enabled
    HDD Read Ahead Cache : Enabled (or disable Maxtor, Disabled)
    Volume Data Read Ahead : Normal (or aggressive, convervative, disable)
    HDD Queue Depth : 32 (or 1 2 4 8 16)
    Disk Write Cache Mode : Auto (or Enabled Disabled)

    And some others options, but i don't think they are "Cache" related.

    I have to play with Write Back / Write Through first ?

    Use the Write Back feature first.

    Write Back is my current config (the one with shutdown...)

    May be i could "stress" my second DSS to be sure that is a problem hardware first ?

    And to remember, i got a shutdown when applying update 3511, i can suppose that while copying to USB Stick to intern USB the RAID Unit is not used...

    When updating with DSS 3511 the system is down so there is no effect on the RAID controller on on the USB DOM.

    I got the same shutdown, at 92% of copy, shutdown...

    So i could suppose that i have another problem right ?

    After this shutdown i made a 4 hours Memtest without any errors...

    I could contact my vendor for garanty, but first i need to know which part of the server is deffective...
