• Adding disks RAID config?

  I have a Dell R510 with 4 disks configured with RAID 5 used with vSphere 5.5 - ESXi

  I have 2 homes opened on the server R510.

  Is it possible to insert two new hard drives and initialize them to allow the storage of ESXi 5.5 without disturbing the currently defined RAID 5 configuration.

  Thank you

  RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks.

  You need only to configure a new VD - don't forget to check the advanced and Initialize When creating.

  Insert the disks HOT (do not turn off insert), then restart the CTRL-R utility.

• Adding additional disk to ESXi 4.1 Datastore on Dell PowerEdge R710

  Greetings,

  We currently have a Dell PowerEdge R710 with 6 SAS das drives configured in a RAID-1/RAID-5 configuration. A drive is configured as a global hot spare. I would add this spare drive in the RAID-5 table, where some virtual machines live, to recover additional space. Has someone managed to do this? Is the only way via the PERC BIOS management utility?

  Thank you!

  I'm not part "raid-1/raid-5.  But assuming that the table is raid-5, then yes it is possible and yes the BIOS utility is necessary.  The hot spare is currently set should be removed from this role, then added to the existing Bay raid-5, but without the ability to select increase.  This will create free space on the raid-5 array on which then a new logical volume can be created, which will be then seen by ESX as a new drive and therefore another data store can be added to this (or it can be added to the first as a measure).  HTH

• DELL PowerEdge R710 and PERC H700 RAID driver for WIn 2008 Std

  Hi all

  I have a DELL PowerEdge R710 with a controller RAID PERC H700.

  I try to install Windows 2008 Std 64 bit, but I can't find the driver. Even for the site web at support.dell.com. Can someone help me.

  THX in advance

  Even if you use a driver of 2008, it should at least recognize it, then you must be using the wrong driver or something wrong :)

  If you are installing 2008 R2, make sure that you use this file:

  If you install 2008 x 64, make sure that you use this file:

  With one, you must first unlock the .exe (right click on the .exe, properties, unlock), unzip / extract the files (run it and make a note of the default location), and then copy the 4 files on a CD, USB, etc., then when Windows tells you that he is not all hard disks, click on the link drivers load below to load the drivers from the media you have chosen.

• adding larger disks for poweredge 1900

  This server has perc5 and 3 hd for a total of 208123 MB.  We would like to add hard drives, but not sure if we can.  Is it possible to replace the existing 2 and add another without losing any data. or just add a 4th?  We are limited with perc5 according to a specific size of the drive?  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

  The maximum size of physical disk that the PERC 5 can take is 2 TB.

  To enlarge your RAID 5, you can add disks to it - for example, you can convert your 3-drive RAID 5 for a 4 - or 5-disk RAID 5 for the extra space.

  If you replace the existing disks with adults, allowing everyone to rebuild, you'll have a VD (virtual disk - table) that is the same size as the original - you cannot develop a RAID like this on PERC.  If you replace a disc each (and all) with a larger, the only thing you will be able to do with the extra space is to create a second VD on disks.  This will be considered by the operating system as a new/entity 'disc' to use for storage.  Keep in mind that the size of your RAID 5, you're probably using 73 GB SAS drives, you can not mix disks SAS and SATA in the same Bay, so if you decide to replace the disks with the biggest, they MUST be SAS, SATA disks not.

  You can also add multiple disks - of any size, SAS or SATA - to your server and configure as a new/VD/array to use for storage.

• Documentation on the establishment of a PowerEdge R710 from scratch

  I got a PowerEdge R710 with no hard drives (and out of warranty). I added 6 WD RE3 1 TB disks. I'm new on PERC controllers and don't know how to start the implementation of this table. The only documentation I found was Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller cards H700 and H800 Technical Guide but it says nothing about the configuration of the table I can find. Is there documentation for a complete reconstruction of this server?

  I'm probably not the first person to do

  

  There are more than 1 way to get discs into the caddy. One of them will result in the data connection and feeding only reaching no not the player no matter how hard push you into the slot. I still have problems later, but I see you pushing me now.

• PERC H700 driver during Windows Server 2012 r2 - disk Raid not recognized not

  Hello

  I try to install a r2 Windows Server 2012 to a Poweredge R710 with a Raid Perc H700. 2 HDD in Raid 1, but the HARD drive is not rcognized Italian Installation even if I try to use the 2008 r2 for the Perc Raid driver. They are listed, but if I select one disk HARD are not visible. What should do?

  Best regards...

  Grolle,

  Leave in the Raid Controller, what is the status of the table? In addition, was the raid 1 initialized after being created? If this isn't the case, then, who will have to be done before you try to install.

  If you download this and start on the lifecycle controller (F10) and then select deploy BONES, load these files there and proceed with the installation of the OS.

• Connect a Powervault MD1200 to a PowerEdge R710 5.1 running esx using SAS cables

  Hello

  I bought a Powervault md1200 and a perc h800 controller.

  I'll install the perc controller in my PowerEdge r710 5.1 running esx server.

  Then connect the md1200 to the r710 via sas cables. The powervault is no NIC.

  My question is, how to configure the RAID while booting the r710? I understand that if I were on Windows, I could use open manage but I'm not familiar with how to do this from a 5.1 esx server.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  Thank you

  Flynn

  Hello Flynn,

  What you need to do is to go into the Bios of your H800 controller and you can then configure your virtual disk MD1200.  Once you have the virtual disk created, then you will be able to do a scan in ESX & he should see the virtual disk that are created.  To access the boot controller bios you need to hit Ctrl + C to enter the bios.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• PowerEdge R710 and perc h700, disc not visible in OS

  Hey,.

  We have PowerEdge R710 with perc h700 raid 5 controller physical drives under raid6 running. We have recently added a sixth of the road which is much smaller (512 against 4 TBS) we want to just format and use it as a normal drive in the OS (Ubuntu 12.04.5).

  However, the drive is not visible in the operating system. When you enter the settings of the RAID controller that it says that the drive is READY but not configured and all the options to the title of operations are grayed out. How can we make this hard drive is visible in the operating system?

  See you soon

  The H700 does NOT support non RAID, so all records first must be configured on the controller, before its presentation to the BONE. You must configure (initialize) as a single drive RAID 0.

• Re-create a virtual disk (RAID 1) of two existing drives

  After several power outages, my server Dell PowerEdge T110 ii starts plu. The virtual disk (RAID 1) has disappeared, but the two physical disks are still visible and a State of readiness.

  Is it possible to create a virtual disk Raid1 of two existing disk which was composed the original virtual disk without losing any data?

  If this is not possible, is there a way to recover the data (image) and re - create a new virtual disk?

  I hope someone can help me.

  I don't think, because the process would have initialized the disc, which formats.

• Adding a RAID card to help speed up the export (and another question reader) in first Pro CC

  First of all, I read the Page Tweakers export section because that is my main concern is. First my questions, then the background and my current and proposed configurations:

  Question 1: Adding a hardware RAID controller, for example an LSI MegaRAID will sufficiently remove the burden of parity management CPU on my RAID 5 software that the CPU will jump of joy and export faster?

  Question 2: If true for above, then compare thoughts on adding smaller SSD for either a RAID 0 or less two RAID 0 volume volume complete HDD RAID 5. In other words, I think the purchase of four Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB SSD to put in a four disk volume to handle everything (projects/media, media, previews, export cache), or split it into two volumes of two disks of each and divide the tasks, or keep the idea of volume four disc and previews and exports on my drive HARD RAID 5 array.

  The 850 are valued at SEQ write: 550 / 470 MB/s so I could get around 2000 / 1500 MB/s read/write to a disk four RAID 0 or 1/2 who, if I divided in two volumes to minimize the volume of read/write at the same time, if it really matters with these SSD?

  The Tweaker page made some comments. A split is carried out the tasks between different drives, rather than a large effective RAID can really slow things down. Because SSDS are much faster than a single HARD disk, I think its more accurate than so I'm leaning towards the configuration of four discs put OS & programs on the C drive, media & projects on media on SSD (2 disks RAID 0) Cache and D (HDD RAID 5), file exchange & Previews & export on 2nd SSD RAID 0 (or combine the two RAID 0 and their functions).

  Just trying to get a point of view here, since I have not bought anything yet. Any experience/stories, I would be grateful.

  My current setup of training:

  My D drive is a software RAID 5 consisting of four 1 TB Western Digital RE4 (RED) 7200 RPM hard drives with CrystalDiskMark SEQ read/write of 339 / 252 MB/s.

  The C drive is 500 GB SSD (Samsung 840 (not Pro) and fact 531 / 330 MB/s.) My OS, Program Files and Page file are on C and media data/files/projects, etc. that are all about the RAID drive.

  Problem:

  Current configuration allows for smooth installation, just export seems slow, usually taking between two and two and a half times the video length to export. Thus, a 10 minute video takes 20-30 minutes for export. 15 minute video can take 30-40 minutes to export. The first 10% of the export of re-encoding takes less than a minute (seems fast), but it becomes slower when the final 10 or 20 percent may hang for several minutes as my system is running out of steam. So, where's the waste?

  I activated the hardware acceleration (because the GPU hack my GPU is not listed) and it can break through to 25% use a few times and eat up to 600 MB of VRAM (I have 2 GB of VRAM), otherwise it is slowed down export set. The CPU can boost at 50%, but it seems either too busy.

  Our calendar is simple with two video and two audio streams (a little music and especially the voices), with simple transitions (jump cuts or cross dissolves). Sometimes, we fast correct color, so that could use the GPU? Also, given that we are filming in 1080 P 60 p and 1080 export 29.97 FPS, I think who is scaling and using the GPU. I know that without the GPU, it takes much longer. I excluded buy a faster GPU because it doesn't seem to be breaking a sweat. I just need to know if my system is a bottleneck at the level of the disk hard because I am using software RAID and my disks are slow and hardware RAID will considerably reduce the processor load so it can export more quickly.

  Our files are not huge in nature. Most of our clips are several MBs each. Total files in the project are between 5 GB and 10 GB for each video with Windows Media File export being 500 MB to 1.2 GB on average. Look using Panasonic Camcorders, so the original files are AVCHD, I think (.) MTS files?).

  Considerations:

  1. I think to buy (and future proofing) a LSI Logic MegaRAID 9361-8i is 12 Gb/s SAS and SATA (because some SSD current can exceed the standard 6 Gbps).

  2. I will not replace my current HDD RAID 5 as not in my budget to spend 6 or more large SSD. These discs are more important to me for temporary storage because I delete files saved once. I don't mind a few smaller SSD inexpensive if they can make a significant difference for editing and export.

  I can only guess my RAID HDD is slow but the CPU is burdened by parity. I guess running RAID 10 would not really help.

  My configuration:

  my configuration:

  CPU - CPU i7 - 3930K @4.5 GHz

  RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR3 2133 @2000

  Motherboard - ASUS P9X79 WS LGA 2011

  GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 2 GB (performed the hack of compatibility list to activate hardware acceleration).

  Drive C - 500 GB Samsung SSD (programs and Windows 7 Pro 64-bit) 840.

  D drive - four 1 TB WD RE4 enterprise hard drives 7200 rpm in RAID 5 software

  Box - Cooler Master HAF X

  CPU fan - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO with 120 mm fan

  Power - series Pro Corsair AX 850 watts 80 Plus Gold

  Optical drive - Pioneer BDR - 208DBK

  Thanks in advance,

  OK, after overload of information on everything I tried (free), which might be my answer here. I went from codecs to export. When you use Windows Media File, Premiere Pro seems chugging along much slower than when you use the h.264 (not h.264 Blu - Ray). I don't know if it's because Microsoft has found a way to break it or what. But I'm the CPU usage of 70-85% on the 2 Pass of 2 as well as the use of the memory of 40% (or 12 GB). It exported in 14 minutes. Woo - hoo. I then did a similar test using Windows Media File. It took 31 minutes to export. The CPU has spent much of his time in the 30%, especially down in the 1930s mid-1940s with spike for memory usage was only 24% to 35% and 50%. Since then, I've read how h.264 codec is 'plu' for online files. It compresses better with less compression artifacts. He seems better, etc. Well, they both seemed on the same thing for me. I play both on my TV 70 "before I could comment further. In the future, I will consider a RAID controller and upgrade the HDDs to SSDS.

• New SATA HDD are not detected on PowerEdge R710

  Hi guys,.

  I have a PowerEdge R710 with the reference number below

  Service number: ADMIN NOTE: maintain the label removed by privacy policy > | Express service code:

  ADMIN NOTE: kidnapped by the Express service code privacy policy >

  I have 2 x 750 GB SATA HDD that are not detected at boot of the server. Obviously, the installation of Windows Server 2012 is not possible because it does not find any drive installed in the system

  Please help as I am new to the hardware configuration.

  Thank you in advance.

  You must configure RAID first. If you use the RAID S100 controller on board, it is not compatible with 2012.
