Adding a replacement disk in a RAID 5 (PERC S300) replacement hot

I scoured through comments and think I have the solution almost, but would confirm or correct if possible.

Have a PowerEdge R310, four 500 GB drives, RAID 5, with one of these defined as Global Hot Spare drives.  One of the spare wheel failed, hot (003) disks has done its job and kept during the RAID.

Put in the replacement drive in and can see it is Ready on physical disks via manage open.  More I noticed that he as a Non Raid virtual drive virtual drives.

I thought it was to automatically rebuild the RAID after the disc has been inserted, but it didn't.  I started to reconfigure it on existing RAID, hoping to choose the new disk and start the reconstruction, but he doesn't see the new drive as a physical drive.  I guess that's because the system has assigned the new drive as a new virtual disk.

I remove the new virtual disk, and then run the reconfigure statement the existing virtual disk of RAID 5 to add the new drive?

I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help!  Right now my server is in place and very well, but these 500 GB drives are reliable - I lost an another late last year and replaced him.

Thanks for the quick response.  If I already have a spare drive (the one who took over after the failure of the other disk), it will allow me to do the new hot spare?

This player is no longer a "rescue." It is now a member of the array fully operational. You don't have a spare drive. It is also possible to have two hot-spare set.

I run the Reconfiguration on the RAID 5 in Open Manager after the non - RAID VD is removed?

No, Reconfigure will EXPAND a virtual disk, usually by adding a physical drive. So if you have a 3-drive RAID 5, you insert a new disk and run the statement reconfigures, you might reconfigure your 3-drive RAID 5 to 4 drive RAID 5 (is worth a drive to storage space by adding to your table/server) or a 4-drive RAID 6 (essentially a RAID 5 with a disc of relief, but instead of relief being a non-member member - only standyby player - help is integrated with the table as a full member. the RAID array results in an additional parity so that two disks can fail while maintaining the availability of the matrix, rather than wait for a player to fail before starting the reconstruction to become a member of the table; RAID 6 is usually best when using very large capacity disks).

    Rowby,

    You currently have your background priority set to 20% IIRC, so it will take time to rebuild, but probably a lot less than 24 hours as for new construction. Even with 20% defined, I guess that it will be done in less than 12 hours, but you can set the background priority to 50% and it will be much faster at the expense of access to your raid. Reconstruction of the background is designed to give you access to all your data files and to continue the work, while the data is being rebuilt. You can continue your work, so if it takes 8 or 12 hours to find the full data intergrity isn't all that relevant. Your aura a functional slower than with a raid reaction complete, but has more speed than a single disk.

  • RESOLVED: Loop of reboot after installing new disks in RAID of PERC S100

    A customer has a Dell T110 (with a PERC S100 RAID controller) running Windows 2008 R2. The system has two disks: a reader not RAID (C :) running the operating system and a RAID1 drive (E :) sharing data with network folders.) We need to install again, larger disks for the RAID.

    I thought I could backup the data on the RAID drive existing (e), install new disks, built a new table in the S100 (VDM) virtual disk boot manager, boot into the operating system, create the new partition for the data replaced E: drive and copy the data back. This was not the case. After installing the new disks and the new array of construction (which is reported as "READY (R/W)" when starting, Windows starts all the way in "press CTRL-ALT-DEL to log". After two or three seconds, the system reboots. The same thing happens when I try to start safe mode. The system IS NOT automatically booted to the Recovery Console. He never seems to know that an error occurred and the system was not shut down normally.

    I booted into the Recovery Console, installed the drivers for the PERC S100 and run recovery to start without success. Also in the Recovery Console, I ran 'chkdsk /f E:\. ' (remarkably, the drive letter for the data drive remained the same), and no error has been reported. I also reinstalled drivers S100 of the recovery using DISM Console, but that changed nothing.

    I started to 8.1 Windows PE, installed drivers S100, formatted the virtual disk, copied the data which he, and everything works fine. The only problem is when I try to boot from the system drive (which has no problem) with the new installed disks.

    When I put the old records, the system boots normally with no reconfiguration required. The VDM to start automatically remembers the discs and the table. Nothing shows up in the logs event indicating that there was an error during startup. (Ntbtlog.txt) start-up newspaper, after several boots with the new drives in place, indicates that the system restarts at various times during loading drivers. There is nothing coherent in the startup log to indicate what the problem is.

    The only clue I have is that, during the startup, the VDM reports the virtual drive of origin as 'NORMAL (R/W)' and the new virtual disk as "READY (R/W)", but I'm not sure of the significance of this difference or if it suggests a solution.

    I can't find clues in all the newspapers about what may be the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I will be grateful. I'll be especially grateful for the wacky suggestions.

    I ran it. Nothing appeared unusual. However, I does not solve the problem.

    I connect the new readers to the same SATA ports as the old records. When I connect one of them to the SATA port that had not been used as part of the original painting, the VDM S100 reported the original failed array, because readers were is more connected and showed the new table as a LOAN. The operating system then started normally.

    The trick, it seems that you should remove the old virtual disk before connecting the new disks on the same ports.

  • Help needed with two new HHD to RAID 1 PERC 6 / i integrated controller

    We have a client that has an out of warranty PowerEdge T610. On the Dell OpenManage Server Admin, I can see that he can see my 1 RAID PERC 6 / i integrated controller. On one of the controllers, we have a RAID 5 that has 4 discs dedicated to a data store (drive D), we two discs devoted to the Windows SBS 2008 (drive C) operating system on RAID 1.

    When we look at the server, I have physical disks located in:

    Our drive D data store:

    • 0:0:0
    • 0:0:1
    • 0:0:2
    • 0:0:3

    Our reader C found in:

    • 1:0:4
    • 1:0:5

    We just added two new hard drives for RAID 1 based on the conversation we had with Dell, they recommended that we can try from C data to the new larger disks. When to Dell Open Manage looking at the physical disks on the PERC 6 controller / i integrated, I can see that it has detected two new 500 GB SATA drives that the client installed. However the tasks available do not allow me nor their format to use as they appear in the management of the computer as a disk that is available for use. Is there something that we are completely absent here?

    Regarding the new disks located here:

    • 1:0:6
    • 1:0:7

    My options for available tasks are the following:

    • Blink
    • Unblink
    • Assign Global relief
    • Claire...

    I already have them deleted once as I didn't know if they should be formatted to be recognized, but in the computer management disk management they don't even appear at all. I thought that I had a task of 'on-line' that I could assign to the readers so maybe they appear to start to use the new storage HHD.

    With regard to the current firmware for the controller.

    • Firmware version: 6.2.0 - 0013
    • Driver version: 2.24.00.64
    • The Storport driver version: 6.0.6002.18005

    I have attached a PDF file to this post to view details on the disks. Sorry for the fine print, but it's a PDF so you should be able to zoom. Any assistance about why readers as not detected in disk management would be absolutely awesome. :)

    -Digity

    PERC does not support non RAID... you can just throw the discs and use them. You'll need to set up and initialize a new RAID array with the readers. It is not a task of "physical disk", therefore in OMSA, go to the page of the virtual disks and click the new link Wizard of VD at the top of the page to create a new VD of the BONE.

  • SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

    We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

    Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

    htc2010
    is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

    You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

    In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

  • PowerEdge R310 Perc S300 Raid 10

    I'm trying to set up a PowerEdge R310 with a Perc S300 and 4 x 2 TB drives and raid 10 server r2 2012.

    I set up the raid 10 by pressing the R command during startup.  It implements the fine.  I then put in my dvd openmanage systems management and run the installer.  This is where the problem begins.  with all the 4 - 2 TB drives and raid 10, I should have 4 TB of hard drive space, and it is only showing 2 TB.

    I canceled the installation, rebooted and changed the UEFI BIOS.  the problem here is with the UEFI boot, server does not start on a dvd, instead, it starts directly to flash disk (this is where the BONE is).  It works fine too, but at the beginning of the installation, he said: "we have found all the readers" and it wants me to install the drivers.  I sail to openmanage dvd and can not find the drivers.

    once more I cancel the installation.  I switch back to normal UEFI bios, openmanage dvd start and try and reconfigure raid of openmanage.  everything sets up very well, but in the end of the process when it prepares the files, it gives me an error saying ' deployment failed due to: Boot controller culd details can not be retrieved ", and my only option is to restart.

    I reboot and start all over again.

    My only option so far is to install NO UEFI and don't have 2 TB of hard drive space, but I really want to use all 4 to.

    Help, please!

    The OpenManage DVD has no drivers in the format you need for use during a manual of OS installation - you need to get them from the support.dell.com site (or ftp.dell.com - you need the hard / ZPE file version).

    Have you checked the UEFI boot options? You should be able to boot from a DVD using the UEFI. And what do you mean that you can start only "directly to the flash drive? If you can start on a flashdrive in UEFI mode, then why not install Windows from a flash drive? And what do you mean "this is where the BONE is?

  • RAID controller perc 5 / i Raid 5 rebuid of security

    Hello.

    need help.

    I have the raid 5 6-disc version. 136GB x 2 drives and 4 x 2 TB. (why? don't ask some black.)

    RAID controller perc 5 / i

    so a question is: can I discs remove 2 136 GB safety (without data loss) and rebuild the raid to work only with 4 drives of 2 TB and volume take all the space?

    You cannot delete records from the table - the number of disks must remain the same (or you can add to it). You need backup/restore to make a smaller VD.

  • The PERC S300 controller replacement

    I want to upgrade a server PowerEdge R310 Windows Server 2008 R2 to R2 2012. Unfortunately the PERC S300 is not supported and I could not find the necessary drivers.

    I found that PERC H700 has the correct drivers and is compatible with the R310, can anyone confirm that please?

    Are there cheaper alternatives? Otherwise, I think I have to disconnect the PERC controller and connect the drives to the internal SATA ports, but then I have 4 independent drives with no RAID either because the PERC S100 embedded is not as well supported... (is there a SW raid solution?)

    Thank you

    The H700 is a controller that is supported on the R310, but you must do a clean install or backup/restore.

    The H310 is also supported by the R310.  It is a hardware RAID controller low end and would also require a reinstall/restore.

    The S100 can handle a direct migration of the S300 disc, but when you read, it is not supported in 2012 either.

    You can move the disks to the SATA onboard and get rid of the S300, but there was also a clean installation/restore.  If you did the onboard SATA (in AHCI/no RAID), there was no RAID managed by the system, but you can configure RAID under Windows, which would provide at least some redundancy.  Performance is not worse than the S series controllers.

    My advice?  Never skimp on storage, no matter what it is used for.  Always get the top of the page (H7x0) controller when you configure a server.

    You should be able to just replace the drive and rebuild automatically.  That said, before you do anything, make sure that your system is fully backed up.  RAID is redundancy - NOT a substitute for a backup current, functional, verified.

  • Problem adding a hard disk for Pavilion Elite HPE - 380 t

    Hello

    I am trying to replace my existing drive with a new WD 1 TB hard drive. So I intend to install the new WD drive as the 2nd drive, and then run the utility WD Acronis to clone the original to the new drive.

    However, when I install the new disk, the BIOS recognizes it, but I think it appears in Windows 7 such as D drive, but it does not work. When I run Acronis, he says that it doesn't detect any WD drive.

    I went into the BIOS and ran the test drive / self-test and it passed.

    I noticed that the SATA1 controller is enabled. He didn't check before installing the drive.

    The controller SATA1 mode is RAID. Not sure that it was previously.

    Oh, and I plugged the new drive SATA cable into the connector of the motherboard directly next to the SATA connector as my original drive.

    Everyone through this? Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance,

    Steve

    You are right. It was the answer, sort of. When I started Windows 7, I went in the new disk drives and active management. I let the system assign drive letters. I then rebooted.

    Then when I came back to Windows, I was able to run the original utility WD Acronis True Image to clone my source drive to the new drive. When finished, stop the system, removed my original drive and the new drive my only drive.

    Everything works beautifully. I managed to replace my hard drive.

    Thanks for the tip.

  • Replacing a drive in RAID 5 PERC 5i

    Hello, I have a RAID 5 with three disks 10 k and a 15 k. I would replace the drive k 15 with a supplement of 10 k drive, so that I can use the drive k 15 on a different server.

    What is the best way to do it?

    Thank you

    Ken

    Force the 15K drive offline, remove, insert the replacement. If the 10 K drive is not automatically rebuild, assigned as a hot spare. If the player is "foreign", you must first CLEAR the foreign configuration before you can assign it as a hot spare. Remove and insert the drive should be made WARM (while the system is running).

    I'm testing a T3600 for our society.  I'm planning our Win 7 X 64 top using SCCM 2007 image.

    I downloaded the drivers of ACR for this Dell system and imported the driver in a package and in the boot image, but when I start my system (WinPC) boot image can find the hard drive and fails immediately when you run the task sequence to install the image.  I restarted the WinPE disc and press F8 to get the prompt BACK.  When I used a part of disk and tried to select disk 0 there no drive to select.

    It's a single SSD drive in this system, so I turned off raid but I don't know if I have a few wrong settings in the BIOS or the firmware of the controller, or if I have the correct controller and the hard driver in my boot image.

    Someone at - it it works and could you tell me the settings that you used in the BIOS, controller and what drivers you used?

  • All disks on Areca RAID card?

    When the version PCIe 3.0 1882ix Areca raid controllers are loose, I'll be able to mount a raid 5 Bay 4-6 for the media and other files.  Okay, it's a no-brainer. But...

    What other readers? My motherboard has two raid on board - Intel and Marvell controllers.  Not to mention that drives data raid 5, the system must:

    -1 system SSD disk

    -2 WD Velocirapter drives in raid 0 for the paging file and media cache

    -1 WD Blue disk in a removable Bay for archiving

    These disks must be on the Areca?  On the MOBO raid controllers? Advantages and disadvantages of each solution?

  • Adding (not replace) sound card

    Each computer previously owned included extra slots for expansion cards - not if my Pavilion HPE-112Y, product #VT637AAR-ABA. What's worse, the sound Manager is not a separate card but is integrated into the motherboard - and this device is upward. I still can't play audio files via Windows Media Player, Quicktime, or other programs, but the audio device apparently incorrectly reports the type of file to other programs. This sabotaged my ability to load sound in Poser 8 that I could do otherwise.

    With the help of support staff to ask, I ruled out all other possibilities (I just downloaded and installed the latest codec for Windows 7 pack, which excluded the last alternative cause. "I'm NOT lack of codecs).

    Replace the welded sound device is out of the question, so how can I add a sound card?

    Madmilt, welcome to the forum.

    This is the page for Specifications of the motherboard of the computer.  Look at the section called "Expansion Slots.  It shows that you have 3 each PCI Express x 1 slots for a sound card.  These locations are faster than the former PCI ports.   The map in the link I provided has hundreds of good reviews and is rated at 4 eggs with an excellent price. Read the reviews to see what users have to say about it. They will give you the straight scoop without exaggeration of the manufacturer.

    You can try to completely uninstall the audio device driver and put it back in place before buying a card.
