• PowerEdge 2950 & SAS card compatibility

  We have a Poweredge Server 2950 W2K3 SP2 running. The server already has a PERC 5 / i controller as well as a card SCSI Ultra320 SCSI Adaptec 39320 a. is there a SAS card I could buy for this server and the ability to connect to a Powervault 124 t. with a SAS LTO-5 drive system?

  Hello Clamped_IT,

  You can put in a SAS 6 gb card in the 2950 & get the PV 124 t LTO5 to run because this is a valid configuration.  What you need to do is to make sure you have a 8 X PCIe available free map of SAS6gb must go to the 8 x PCIe.  Now according to risers that are in your 2950, they come in 2 different options, see below:

  Three connectors for expansion on two different mounting options:

  Two 64 bit/133 MHz PCI - X and 1 x 8 PCI Express full height, half length

  or

  2 x 8 PCI Express and a x 4 PCI Express

  Here is a link to our compatibility matrix & if you look at page 8, it shows you which card is necessary for a PV t 124. FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/common/PowerVault-124t_Reference%20Guide_en-us.PDF

• PowerEdge 2950 - Win2012 R2 - drives not found

  Trying to install Win 2012 R2 on a 2950 I picked up, but am not able to find the drivers I need so it can recognize the discs.  I had a similar problem with a 1850 and it was my RAID drivers... but this server doesn't seem to be using RAID (nothing has been mentioned during startup).

  Found the problem.  One who had the device before RAID off (and no memory for her) and as well as the options of SATA.  Virtual drives activated and set up.  Alto!

• How to extract all the drives SAS/SATA and Ethernet port speed of the link command line?

  Hello

  Do you know if supports Windows OS built in order to extract all the SAS/SATA drives and ports Ethernet link speed?

  i.e. for SATA3 drive it show 6 Gbps, for DIS3 drive it will show 12 Gbps, to present the current link speed.

  i.e. for Ethernet 10 G, it will show 10 Gbit/s while the current connection speed is at 10 Gbps.

  I need the command to create a batch file to run bike test to check all connection speeds are correct in each cycle the system power runs, if the Windows operating system does not support built in order to achieve this, please send us any tool of 3rd - party with the support of the command line to do this.

  Thanks in advance.

• You can mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID 1 PowerEdge T110 II configuration

  Hello

  I have a RAID 1 configuration and one of the two drives in the array has failed.  I've removed and replaced by another drive hoping the Dell Perc adapter H200 would rebuild the mirror automatically, but it does not.  In Server Admin OpenManage virtual disk displays as degraded.  The issue I think may be the replacement drive is SATA where the original was SAS.

  Is there a way you can make the adapter accepts a SATA drive or is it simply not supported?

  SIV

  Hello.

  Dell controllers, including the H200 are not supported mixing SAS, SATA or SSD in the same table. They may, however, each separately constitute a virtual disk on the same controller. Consider replacing the disk failing another identical or higher capacity SAS drive.

• PowerEdge 2950. Need advice to add 1 TB SATA disk.

  This is my first post.

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5 / i.  The firmware version is 5.2.2 - 0072.   Configuring PERC controller 0 shows.   0 to 2 physical disks in SAS controller.  2 physical disks are used to create a virtual drive.  The virtual drive is used as the C: drive.  Readers of the excellent work.

  

  I want to add a 1 TB SATA drive which will act as a stand alone D: drive.  I had planned to add the SATA controller drive 1, but when I run the PERC configuration utility, I don't see a setting 1.

  What should I do to add a 1 TB SATA drive?

  

  Looks very good.

• 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.

• PowerEdge 2950 - order replacement HARD drive

  We recently replaced among 300 GB three SAS hard drives in a PowerEdge 2950, after seeing 1810 Code error 1 HARD disk fault.  We would like to order replacement disks to have on hand, but must be sure that we order is fully compatible.  The reader, we have removed is Seagate ST3300656SS with Firmware HS09 and certified as a disk HARD of Dell Enterprose class.  I understand that just order a Seagate drive of the same model number is not enough.  How can we be sure we are ordering the right items?

• T420 - Question of disk drive (wired Sata + SAS / Sata 2.5 / 3.5 is possible?)

  Hello

  I bought the T420 PowerEdge with a single SATA drive. I've added 3 more to max on internally wired to 4

  I wonder, do I ALSO have to add the hot swap 2.5 or 3.5 and all have work. I guess I have to buy a special raid card if it is at all possible.

  I want to be able to do is have the 4 cables + start adding the other 2.5 or 3.5 (based on price) and build slowly upward.

  If possible, could you please recommend this card, I have to use to get there?

  Thank you very much

  DellUserMichael,

  Unfortunately, you wouldn't be able to do, it is because the chassis are different depending on the storage option selected. T420 storage options are the

  So the question is the chassis are actually different by the selected option.

• PowerEdge 2950 HARD drive failure

  Hello

  Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following scenario (where I have no experience dealing with the old servers)

  We have a set of old servers (DELL PowerEdge 2950) that migrate again (IBM X Flex), one of the old server is MOSS 2007 with 2 HDD, suddenly primary HDD is dead and in menu missing with setup. I removed old server on another HARD drive and mounted on the MOSS 2007 server and initialized. the question is how do I replace the HARD drive died with a new one and copy another disk configurations HARD live

  Please if you need more information just ask in answers because am new on this servers with 0% experience

  Thank you

  ---------------UPDATE-------------

  the current RAID is RAID 0 and I found that a backup windows (from previous system admin) file so it is possible to format the two HDD, configure RAID for RAID 1, install windows, and then restore the backup?

  also, I was reading this article " " but I couldn't change the RAID, so any suggestion?

  You need drivers ("hard drive" version, run to extract before use):

• PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

  Hello

  We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?

  Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

• SAS bays for SATA drives

  Is it possible to put SATA drives in the SAS bays and connect them to the SATA ports?

  Thank you

  Rimokatolik, your simple answer is 'yes '.  SATA drives may be plugged into the connectors SAS the Z800 and later Z8xx series workstations.  This means that the cables of the drive Bay are connected on the SAS (white) connectors on the bottom edge of the motherboard.  Small connects the SATA drives to the SAS controller.  SAS controller works with SATA drives, so you don't have to move cables to the SATA ports to make the SATA disks to work.

  However, if you wish, you can connect the wiring existing SAS to SATA ports on the motherboard and put the SATA drives into the drive bays.

• Precision T5600 SAS/SATA Controller Driver

  I recently received the workstation Precision T5600. The original configuration was the installation in RAID 1 with 2 SATA drives. I killed the RAID and loaded a single drive SAS instead of RAIDs. When I loaded a Windows 7 installation disc, windows could not see all of the hard drives. So my question is there a place where I can download the driver for the SATA/SAS controller and throw on a USB to load during the installation process of Windows 7?

  Thank you.

  Dell Dear user community.

  I having the same problem as jHartweck,

  I recently bought the Dell Precision T5600, but I'm not able to install Windows 7, because the SATA/SAS controller driver is not available.

  Someone of you managed to solve this problem?

  I'm looking forward to your reply.
