• Internal tape drive SAS Dell PowerEdge T320/T420

  Hello

  I am installing a SAS LTO4 tape drive in a Dell PowerEdge T320 Tower Server.  I have the tape drive and the controller/HBA H310 SAS for the connection to the drive but I can't find the right cable for the H310 training. #

  I'll use P/N: 606JD, which is listed on the TBU for T610/T710 cable but don't know if it's the cable for this unit.

  Any help would be massively appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Need you Cable Mini SAS to part number: J7KJW.  P/N: 606JD cable is not compatible with T320/T420

• Additional 2 x 1 TB HARD drive upstream Del PowerEdge running ESXi 4

  Hi all

  I would like to add additional 2 x 1 TB drive in my current work ESXi 4 Server that runs on Dell Power Edge 2950 - III the current configuration is 4 x 500 GB SATA RAID 5, do I have to reinstall the server just to add these two records in the data store to save it?

  Kind regards

  AWT

  If you have the PERC controller, simply add the disk in half.

  If you have OpenManage (OMSA), you can create new RAID configuration without restarting your system.

  Otherwise, just restart the system, enter the PERC BIOS, create a new virtual disk.

  Then, in ESX / Setup / storage card be sure to see the new drive (if it is not a new analysis).

  Then just add a new data store (in Configuration / Storage).

• Internal hard drive inside Dell PowerEdge R710

  Well then clarify first of all. This server is NOT used in a business environment. Its literally being used as a home media server (Yes, exaggerated way I know but I got for free so who is complaining).

  IM currently using a PowerEdge 2950 as my media server, I just took his upgrade, a R710 Gen 2 and I would like to use all 6 bays at the front for hard drives that I can put the plates on instead of 1 for the operating system and then everything else for the media.

  How I would go about installing an internal hard drive, preferably a SSD, inside the R710. I know it has a free SATA port but I can't seem to see the spare power cables or cables molex as there is in the Gen 3 2950 I.

  If it is not possible, it's quite good, but I would like to have installed an internal hard drive.

  I know there is a USB port, but I use Windows Server R2 2012 (probably soon to be Server 2016) but I'm not sure if Windows Server can be installed on the internal USB port.

  If you need to record, or on the label of service I can give you this information.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Arron

  Thanks for the clarification. It's something that you can try, but it is not supported and there is no guarantee that the SSD will be detected and it works perfectly. Try this P/N GP700 cable

  

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• 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.

  Install and run the GUI version in the start menu. In the left pane select the PERC 5 and then in the lower right pane select quick test and then to run tests.

• 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.

• Dell PowerEdge T20: Hard drives

  Hi, I'll build a MS SQL Server for a small lab. I chose the Dell PowerEdge T20 Spec1-T20-004 configuration server. And I want to use two additional 5 TB in RAID1 disks. Since all the documents, I found from dell (including telephone support) they only sell/pick-up drives up 3TO. I don't...

  Dell would have sold the T20 with only up to 3 TB of disk. Any modern system supports over 2 TB disks (no currently achievable limit does exist on modern Intel SATA controllers).

  Thus, 2 to 5 discs should not be a problem. Note that unless you add a raid controller, at best you might be able to run firmware raid (supported by Windows and Linux, maybe, but not things like BSD or VMware or more).

  If you plan to run the raid software, then obviously just about any OS should work with it.

• RAID 1 support on Dell PowerEdge R730 with SSD and Perc H730 discs

  Hello. I am looking for some info on RAID usage with SSDS on our server:

  Dell PowerEdge R730
  1 GB for the PERC RAID controller cache internal H730
  200 GB Solid State Drive SAS mixed use MLC 12 Gbit/s, 2.5-inch
  OS Windows 2008 R2 (for now)

  We would like to know if it is supported to use two SSD drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

  What are the risks?
  Suggestions for others / the best solutions?
  How the controller or the handle of the Garbage collection, Trim and other techniques SSD SSD?
  Are there solutions in place for Wear leveling and how do they work?
  What are the methods of protection for the I/O failures for these SSD drives and / or PERC controllers?

  I hope you can answer (some of) the issue or point me in the right direction for some Dell documents on this subject.

  THX

  Arjan

  Hello Arjan

  Yes, you can use SSDS in RAID 1.

  The controller supports the TRIM and cancel orders mapping. SSD MLC are grade consumer SSD which will not have the life expectancy of SLC.

• replacing a drive RAID 1 failure in PowerEdge T710

  I just got the disk(146GB) of replacement for one of the disks RAID 1 has failed. I would like to know what the best approach is to replace the defective with the new one (same size), now that the spare drive (300 GB) is used by the raid. I want to get the bigger drive and re - assign as a global hot spare, by the original configuration is possible without disconnecting the server?

  Here is my config:

  T710 Server (8 discs - 4 X 146 GB, 4 x 300 GB)

  PERC H700 integrated

  2x146GB drives - RAID 1

  2x146GB drives - RAID 1

  3x300GB drive - RAID 5

  1 x 300 GB disk - hot spare

  Thank you.

  This should work for you. What it will do is essentially the same process I described. When you insert the replacement drive and implement the Member to replace it will fail then the immediate replacement and then start reconstruction on replacement.

• Install.VGZ fails in ESXi 4.1 install on a Dell Poweredge R710

  I have a cluster of ESXi 4.1 six-host running on Dell Poweredge R710.  They start from a USB key connected to an internal USB port.  I did at least 12-20 installs on the same hardware without problem.

  When I try to re - install on the single ISO ESXi 4.1 host via the iDRAC, the installation fails when loading install.vgz with the error message: "Booting: MBI = 0x000100c0, enter = 0x0040024a.

  I studied the two codes and the only suggestion that I get, it's that my hardware is not supported (specifically that my 32-bit processor is not supported).  I do not have a 32-bit processor, so I know that I can surrender.  I downloaded the CPU VMware ISO (file:///C:/Users/pguarco/Downloads/VMware-CPU-Compatibility-e.x.p-160658.zip) compatibility, and my CPU meets all requirements.  Previous installation of ESXi host crashed for unknown reasons, where the re - install.  It is possible, that there is a hardware problem.  Any ideas on how to limit this problem?

  you are doing the right thing. only thing I could thing is bad ISO, (Please make sure that the checksum is correct). and the worst case material PE firmware update.

• 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.
