Are PowerEdge 2900 s still under Dell standard support?

Has joined a company that has a bunch of rack mounted 2900 s and I can't tell how old this model and if our society can always put these servers under Dell technical support.  Thanks in advance

It was first available for sales in 2006.

  • PowerEdge 2900 III support xeon x 5470?

    I was wondering if someone can clear this up for me. Can the poweredge 2900 III helps the xeon x 5470 cpu?

    The confusion around this for me comes from the dell documentation, I found on the poweredge 2900 III server that has she supports the xeon 5400 BUT at 3.16 GHz cpu series. The xeon x 5470 3.33 GHz is rated.

    However I saw many times poweredge 2900 III running of x 5470. a quick search pulled up from a few ebay listings for this server with the same cpu. Could there was an update of the bios that allowed support for this processor, and dell documentation is just outdated?

    So, due to conflicting information I see before I go and spend money, can anyone provide me a concrete answer on the question of whether I can run this processor or not?

    Expired documents. The data sheet is dated September 11, 2007, the X 5470 was released in 2008. So there was a BIOS update to add support OR it has not been listed everything simply because it did not yet exist.

    1. There are systems with this CPU.

    2. they are sold by dealers known for this computer.

    It can work in an III, and I recommend the update of the BIOS (and other firmware system) at the latest prior to installation.

  • Dell PowerEdge 2900 RAID and drive down

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 server. The primary transmission table has three drives and RAID 5. The system came this way, and it has been humming for quite a long time. Recently, one of the disks has deteriorated and the light on the drive flashes green and light amber. The light amber, I figured, it means that there is a problem with the drive and must be replaced. Then, I found a replacement on Amazon.com drive and installed (the drive is hot, but my cold started to be sure). I installed the drive, but keeps flashing green and amber light.

    I didn't know that I shouldn't have to replace the drive in this way, so I will now try to figure out what to do next. I hoped to reallocate the foreign disk so that I can use it, but my server always shows the reader, not having even if the new replacement drive is in the slot, now.

    I'm running PERC 5 / I integrated utility of Configuration Bios 1.04 - 019 a

    I started the server and you press CTRL-R. I've highlighted the controller and press the F2 key, what is operations. When the operations window opens, there are three menu items:

    Create new VD
    Zero Config reset
    Foreign config

    The only thing that I am allowed to do in this menu is to reset the configuration. I can't move my cursor upwards or downwards for one of the other choice of two menu.

    Scroll when the virtual disk and he discovers, it still shows the first two discs and a lack.

    When I press CTRL + N to display the next screen, I see a player listed as failed.

    How can I rebuild my RAID with this new drive? If I can't do it, what is the best way to remove the RAID and start over? If I delete the RAID and do it again (and if my replacement drive is indeed well), how can I make sure that my server not to see it, not having so that I can start using it?

    Alternating flashing green/orange means that the disc is in a status of predictive failure. What OS is running system? If you hotswap drive next failure they may possibly other issues table because the drive was online and participating in the table with errors on the disk. The adequate alternative method is to use our software Openmanage Server Administrator to run a consistency check on the table and then the drive offline. Once this has been done you can then swap the drive. It seems that in your case, that the new drive had bad data copied on it and it made a predictive failure as well. We want to do is run our hard drive diagnostics and test drives in the system.

  • DELL Poweredge 2900 - disk failure

    Hello

    We have an old Dell Poweredge 2900 our SQL Server database running server.  Last week, we discovered that Raid 5 is degraded and disk 0 disk 1 is seeing completely to the bottom and the poster.  We were already down, so even if we had it running by buying a replacement of the SAS 146 GB 10 k disk we would still be short of storage of data of space.  I bought a SAS Seagate Cheetah 15 k 600 GB ST3600057SS and I would like to replace the failed drive with it.

    Question:

    (1) open handle is not installed, but want to install.  What version I can use for this 2900 server.

    (2) my replacement of a 146 GB with a 600 GB can work?

    Please for your advisor as this database server is essential for my operation of the company.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello.

    ISOSA
    (1) open handle is not installed, but want to install.  What version I can use for this 2900 server.

    Download OpenManage Server Administrator v7.4.0.2 form this link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=MGRG4

    ISOSA
    (2) my replacement of a 146 GB with a 600 GB can work?

    Replacing 146 GB with 600 GB of disk drive will not provide any extra space you need because the table will use only 146 GB of total space 600 GB on the new drive. What controller you have installed? In case the only option available for you that your controller does not support the extension of ability online (ECO) could be to backup your data, delete the existing RAID array and re - create another table with the new readers of 600GO. Restore data from backup and re-install the operating system.

  • Dell PowerEdge 2900 - need to use internal drives for RAID

    Hi all

    I am the I.T. guy for small business from my father. I help them on the side.

    They have recently purchased a PowerEdge 2900 server used with 4 internal SCSI drives

    This server also has a Dell SAS 5 / i integrated controller

    I want to install Windows 2008 R2 standard on this server and use it as a file server and a place to host QuickBooks Enterprise.

    The problem, in that I am running is that I can't find in the Bios or anywhere in the server startup utilities where I can configure the 4 internal drives as a RAID 5 array. I want to do this and THEN install the Windows Server operating system. I used the last Build Server utility Dell and also updated all the firmware to the latest versions. The Build Server utility doesn't let me configure the RAID array.  What I'm missing here?

    Thank you very much for your help!

    I upgraded to a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller and now problem is solved. Just need a new controller internal RAID.

    Problem is solved!

  • PowerEdge 2900 showing predicted failure after disk replacement

    Hello

    I posted this same message in the forum of the disk drives, then I realized there's a specific forum for disks hard server so I'm copying here.

    We have a Poweredge 2900 with HDs 2x500Gb on RAID-1. One of the drives has failed and we replaced it with an identical disk that works very well (same brand, model number Seagate, etc.), but without a Dell PN.

    After replacement, the controller began to rebuild the RAID, but it shows "predicted failure = Yes" for this new album. The disc is currently still under reconstruction.

    One thing to notice is that apparently the Perc firmware is outdated. OpenManage shows that the current Perc 6 / i firmware version is 6.0.2 - 0002, and the minimum required version of the firmware is 6.2.0 - 0012. If I go to the Dell support site and enter a label for the Server service, it shows me a download available for the Perc firmware with version 6.3.3 - 0002.

    The questions are:

    -Is generally allowed to use not Dell certified readers if they are of the same brand and model as the other disk?

    -How would I determine the source for the warning of predicted failure?

    -It would have something to do with obsolete Perc firmware? Are there risks associated with Perc firmware upgrade?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help!

    Julio.

    Update for our fans to the forum thread. Original poster concluded that used replacement drive was indeed bad. He is later replaced by a good drive and will update the server accordingly.

  • PowerEdge 2900 switchable hot

    I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 running windows Small Business SERVER 2003, we will be taken out of service soon, but we just had a departure by car to go bad - seeing yellow flashes and error on LCD server message: 'E1 H10 HDD1 fault.'   daily backups and weekly regular running properly because of corruption, then I copied the table as a security measure.  I bought a new drive identical to the 4 existing disks that are configured as Raid 1.

    The drive is a:
    341-4430 750 GB 7.2 K rpm Universal SATA 3Gbps 3.5-inch hard drive

    The raid controller is:
    341-5754 1 SAS/SATA embedded RAID 1, PERC 6 / i integrated/SAS6/iR

    Can I leave the server running and pull the wrong drive and drag the new, without running applications before or after this procedure, and will be automatically rebuild the raid?

    I know that I need to replace the server.  But my immediate need is to solve the problem of bad disc, and I'd appreciate any advice or a link to the instructions in this procedure.

    We are a small non-profit and have none of the staff and no budget assistance, or I would have called in help.

    Thank you

    It is a Dell application that will interface directly with the hardware. It must be installed on any Dell server that you manage. On the downloads page, it is called OpenManage Server Administrator - Managed Node, use the 32-bit version.

  • POWEREDGE 2900 RAID 10 HAS NOT DEGRADED

    Hello

    I have a Setup raid 10 on a server PowerEdge 2900, Perc 6 / i. There are 4 250 GB drives, set up as a Raid 10. A drive has failed. I tried the disk with a hot swap size even more recent. The server crashed and restarted, Post message showed during initialization F/W and writing degraded disk virtual, but restarting Ok. When I OpenManage it shows degraded and only shows 3 locations of the physical drive page. New drive is orange flashing on the right indicator light.

    Can someone help me with the permutation of the reader?

    Thank you!

    Madmin46
    Is that possible given that the new drive is not a certified dell disk that would cause problems?

    Yes, and that's the most likely cause. Some versions of the AR4 are posted on several PERC controllers. Many times non-certified readers will work fine, but when certified and non-certified are run together, there are often questions... thinking that it is a American, South African and a Pilipino all English - speaking it may be difficult for the three to communicate because they all talk about the different versions of the same language, and language gap can cause problems on a controller which the tolerance of error and delay (patience) are thin.

  • PowerEdge 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

    OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

    I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

    The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

    PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

  • Upgrade memory PowerEdge 2900 III

    All 3 poweredge 2900 people use the same type of ram? I have a dell poweredge 2900 III and am looking at an upgrade of ram which is listed as compatible with the first generation, the PC2-5300F. I was wondering if this does not work for my 2900 gen 3.

    Also, can someone shed some light on what the maximum capacity of RAM for the 2900 III.

    Thank you guys!

    Hello.

    The PC2-5300F which is a fully Buffered DIMM is which was delivered with all the 9th Gen Dell servers and should be compatible across all revisions of 2900. What is the size of the memory you are looking for? In my view, that the maximum RAM capacity on the 2900 III server is 48 GB.

    I hope this answers you questions.

  • Update of firmware and drivers controller PowerEdge 2900

    Hello

    I have server PowerEdge 2900. Current configuration I see on OMSA:

    BIOS version 2.3.1 (former)

    Controller PERC 6 / i integrated.
    Version of the firmware is up to date.
    Firmware Version 6.0.2 - 0002
    Minimum Firmware Version 6.3.0 - 0001
    4.05.01.64 driver version
    6.1.7601.17577 Storport driver version

    I need to upgrade the firmware of the controller and make the Windows updates on this server. My questions:

    What is the correct order for the upgrade:

    1. Windows updates
    2. BIOS,
    3. ESM firware,
    4. Bottom of basket SAS firmware,
    5. Disk controller
    6. Firmware of the controller,
    My questions would be:
    How can I verify ESM and bottom of basket SAS version of the firmware on my server, maybe I do not need to update those?
    On the Dell support site, I could find only:
    Dell Server BIOS, 2.7.0Dell SAS Backplane Firmware, v.1.05, A01Dell BMC Firmware, v.2.50, A00Dell PERC 6/i Integrated, v.6.3.1-0003, A14
    
    and how to find software to update the drivers:
    4.05.01.64 driver version
    6.1.7601.17577 Storport driver version
    ?
    The Dell supports any automatic tool to collect and install the drivers and firmware required on a single server of Windows (except ITA)?
    Server is very critical, thanks,

    Yes, it's safe.  It can be run from within the OS, or you can start on SBUU and serve Suu repository for update packages.

    In most cases, it is easier to update of Windows, but it is not necessary.

    1. Windows updates
    2. BIOS,
    3. Environmentally sound management software (Yes, must be updated to BIOS).
    4. Bottom of basket SAS firmware (also needed),
    5. Controller driver (did you mean driver here? pilot, when it is available, it should be updated before... If current firmware to run 2008R2, new drivers are available through Microsoft Update - if available)
    6. The controller firmware
    7. The hard drive firmware
    8. NIC, DRAC, etc..

    When / if get the support.dell.com site update files, use Packages to update for the format of Microsoft Windows.
