• Controller RAID PowerEdge - H700 card

  Hello

  I have to test a H700 card to see if it works.

  I don't know where to start the test.

  Could you give me any suggestions on how to test the H700 card?  This is a card that I have to be inserted into a PCI slot, a test and a server.

  For example, to test the H700, think must the server have an operating system installed and configured in RAID?  Or is there a simple test, I can do.

  Thank you very much for your help.

  You could probably start 32-bit Diagnostics to test its basic features, ideally you need readers connected to the two ports to test carefully, but if it starts without error, and you can get in his screen CTRL-R, it will probably be fine.

• NEED TO CHANGE MY CONFIGURATION OF RAID 0, RAID 1. PLEASE HELP AS FOR HOW TO DO IT. URGENT!

  Hello!

  I had a glance but quite impossible to find the answers I was hoping to find.  I understand a fair bit about how works RAID and indeed when I ordered my computer, I ordered a RAID 1 configuration, but it arrived as a RAID 0 Configuration. In time, I left and wish later, I do not have, but at the time, I was in the middle of a heavy calendar of study...

  I have a computer processor i7 3 GHz with 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM.  It's a few years old but has a bit of life left in it, so I would reconfigure if possible.  At present, it is implemented with DISK 0 have 3 partitions - a 118MB OEM partition, a partition RECOVERY from NTFS of 10,88 GB and a 1.8 to NTFS OS (c :)) Partition main, then 1 drive has a main 63 GB NTFS partition.)  It runs on W7.

  Of course, if I just start to change the sizes of disc autour, I lost the operating system and all and may end up with a metal box not able to do anything. so, where can I start and in what order I progress, please to reach a situation of RAID 1?  I have a complete set of diskettes to install W7 and want to update to 10 by Thursday.  I understand that I have to format the drives to break the current RAID configuration and get the good detection of both discs and am fully backed up, but I need to know in what order I am progressing.

  Any help would be welcome.  Looking forward to some responses!

• Initial configuration of RAID HP ENVY accidentally erased, deleted hard disk?

  I was trying to see if I could find an option to change the my new laptop on AHCI SATA controller, but I should have checked more thoroughly online before trying something new in the BIOS.  It seems that these laptops are automatically in AHCI?

  My laptop had a 1 TB SSHD and a 24GB flash hard drive Cache acceleration configured in RAID 0.  With my minimal knowledge of the AHCI, RAID and IDE, I thought that the withdrawal of the RAID configuration would give me a possibility to change the hard drive in AHCI controller.  Without thinking, I "removed" the RAID volume, and I think I have completely erase my new hard drive and the operating system, including the recovery partition.

  When I start up the laptop, I get the error "boot device not found 3f0", and f11 does not work to try to get into the recovery mode.  The hard drive test always passes the two elements.  I ordered at HP USB recovery media earlier, but I don't know if there is anything else I can do?

  I don't know exactly how the acceleration of the Disk Cache, but my main question is why only SSHD would be setup in RAID 0 factory mode, and if there is a good reason, how do I put up again after the reinstallation of the OS from the USB media?

  After screwing my OS, I played in the BIOS to re - setup the RAID0, but I don't know that I've got it right.  I myself remember the size of the band was set to 128 KB, but I have no idea what was the "Capacity (MB)", or should I put it when I create new RAID?

  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

  Ryan

  Hi, Popo:

  I didn't get the rush of shipped recovery media.

  When you order by regular mail, it may take up to 10 days, so unless you're bored to death, so I would just wait until your recovery media is coming tomorrow.

  Yes, you are right.  The file I gave you is a simple vanilla W8 version and there are no programs whatsoever other than that which accompanies the W8.

  The product key in the BIOS of your PC will work with this file and you get the recovery media.

  You can always want to DL this file and make a bootable DVD just as it is for future use.

  After installing W8, you get the upgrade to W8.1 against the Windows store.

  It may take a few hours to appear as a sort of update should run before updating the W8.1 appears in the Windows store.

  You won't have to look for.

  It will be displayed when you click the windows store.

  You will be able to switch to W8.1 with the regular ISO W8 file, or your installation HP factory.

• How can I configure the element with the script names?

  Could Hello someone give me a hand?

  I created symbols on the stage of this script below.

  ------------------------------------------------------

  for (k = 0; k < 5; k ++) {}

  sym.createChildSymbol ("mySymB", "Stage");

  }

  ------------------------------------------------------

  How can I configure the element with the script names?

  Because, when I try to control a symbol by using the getSymbol("---") command.

  I need to know the name of the item given to each symbol.

  Concerning

  Yes, you're right.

  Using 'Code-Example' If you write sym.getSymbol ("mySymB") that edge returns the undefined value.

  With "Drag-and-drop-Example", you can use sym.getChildSymbols ().

• Dell powerEdge t420, server windows 2008 R2, RAID5, partitioning problem

  Hello

  [Dell powerEdge t420, windows 2008 R2, RAID5 Server]

  I have attached the picture of disk management.

  There are

  1 extended partition in which it is

  1 NTFS logical volume that completely fill the extended partition.

  But there is a small green free space 0 MB.

  Is this normal?

  Thanks for the info. I have install.

  I reinstalled the operating system

  and in OS partitioning step installation

  There were:

  a 1 Mb extended partition, then the logical partition.

  I deleted all and create 2 primary partition (1 for the Os) and 1 for DATA.

  I solved it.

  But I don't know if

  is the best performing primary or logical partition.

• How can I check the configuration on a PowerEdge T310 raid

  Please how to check raid on a Dell PowerEdge T310 server configuration without restarting?

  By using the software OpenManage Server Administrator - under storage, Controller/PERC, virtual disks.  What operating system do you use?

  You might also be able to deduce the configuration view of your RAID controller (must be under SCSI/RAID controllers in Device Manager), knowing the number of physical disks installed and knowing the number and size of "disks" that Windows is currently using in storage management.

• Help me to confirm THAT RAID 5 of my new server is configured correctly. PowerEdge T620, server 2012

  I just received my new Dell T620 server today, I ordered it with (4) 2 hard drives in a RAID5 configuration to

  I also configured it with a 80 GB operating system partition when I bought it.

  He got today and I'm a little confused how his watch hard drives.

  I have the 80 GB OS Partition, shows that the c volume which is good.

  Then, I have four other volumes...

  D: 1.8 to DataPart2
  E: 1.8 to DataPart3
  F: 57.9 GB DataPart4
  G: 1.72TB DataPart1

  I know that I can go in 2012 under file and storage server parameters and joining them in a Storage Pool and it must show a letter then, correct?

  But, is this the way I need to do this? And how can I confirm that RAID5 is working, so that if one disk fails someday, I can swap just outside like I should be able to.

  I just thought that if I ordered the server with 4 disks in a RAID5 configuration and make a 80 GB OS partition, said that when I had the server I have a volume for the operating system and the other to the data.

  OK... explanation:

  • Each RAID array/virtual disk that is managed by the RAID controller is presented as another "drive" Windows.
  • Windows cannot use a 'disc' greater than 2 TB, unless it is a GPT disk.
  • Windows cannot START on a GPT disk, except if it is installed on a UEFI system.

  By not checking a UEFI/GPT option, it would have been necessary to create virtual disks (at least the boot VD) less than 2 TB so that Windows can use and starts to him (why they did additional smaller VD, I'm not sure).

  At this point, you have four options:

  1) live with it as is (I personally wouldn't).

  (2) will not require reinstalling:

  • Use the 1.8 TB VD0 because the OS 'drive '.
  • Delete 1,2,3 VD
  • Create a large 3.7 GB VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition as necessary or desired separate data

  (3), it will have to reinstall:

  • Removal of all VD
  • The switch in the UEFI boot mode
  • Set up a big 6 TB VD0
  • Reinstall Windows on it and partition as needed or desired.

  (4), it will have to reinstall or backup/restore:

  • Removal of all VD
  • Leave the startup mode in the BIOS
  • Set up a small 80 GB VD0 to which you will install the operating system
  • Set up a large VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition separate data as needed or desired.

• Raid PowerEdge r.620 with single hard drive controller

  Hi all

  I have Dell PowerEdge r.620 with 1 * 1 TB hard drive, Raid Controller using mini H710... When I try to install Win Server 2008/R2 x 64 the HDD is not detecting, I've read in this forum of the disc cause hard does not detect is pilot raid is not installed, but I don't have that single hard drive is possible to set up raid with single hard drive or I don't have to use raid controller but I still don't understand how to set up the server with no raid...

  Thank you...

  Dimm21

  Sorry for the late reply, do you mean raid controller in the server? If you want to say, I always do not install driver coz is new server than i've got...

  I want to know, if posibble install raid on one hard drive and how to configure who... Server raid controller is mini H710

  Thanks for your response

  Yes, the RAID controller.  One you have?  I'll assume a PERC H710 for now:

  The H710 PERC is NOT compatible non-RAID (you cannot use a single disk without RAID)... in order to use a hard drive, you MUST configure a single drive RAID 0.  This must be done in the RAID controller BIOS utility, accessed by pressing CTRL-R during POST when prompted.

  Once configured, you need TO load the driver for the operating system, see the drives connected to the controller.

  If you have a H310, it SUPPORTS no RAID, so you do not have to configure anything in the RAID controller BIOS, HOWEVER, you MUST always load the RAID controller driver during installation.

• Adding disks RAID PowerEdge R710

  We have a PowerEdge R710 running a RAID1/RAID5 configuration.

  • PERC 6 / i SAS Raid Controller with 2 x 4 internal connectors.
  • RAID1 is composed of (2) 146GB 15K drives 2.5 "SAS.
  • RAID5 is composed of (3) 500GB 7.2 K Nearline 2.5 "SAS drives.
  • (3) empty bays are available.

  The server running VMware ESXi v5.0.0. We have almost maxed out storage so I need to add storage. I don't know what are the options I have to do this. These are the options that are possible, I hope.

  • Add 500 GB (3) discs the same as installed readers and expand the RAID5.
  • Add 500 GB (3) discs the same as installed readers and create a 2nd RAID5.
  • Add (3) 1 or 2 to 7.2 K near-Line SAS 2.5 "drives and create a 2nd RAID5.

  Can the PERC6 / i controller supports an another RAID5?

• HP Pavilion s5570t desktop computer: single SATA hard drive configured as RAID in BIOS

  Our small computer lab has two offices of Pavilion Slimline s5570t that we have recently upgraded to Windows 10. I noticed that in the configuration of the BIOS for the SATA hard drive, it is defined as RAID. I don't know why. The thing that brought this to my attention, is that the software Intel Rapid storage technology constantly shows about 25% CPU use and there high usage of the disk when computers start first which makes them unusable until the software installs.

  My question is can I change the setting of the BIOS SATA AHCI with no problems and that will solve the problem? The Intel rapid storage technology software version is v9.5.7.1002. It is obviously old and I could update, but I wonder if the real issue is the BIOS setting.

  Thank you

  JohnD

  Thank you for the additional information.

  I'm not sure it tells you, but I changed these settings without having to reinstall the operating system.  I suppose it could be correct.

• Limits of HP Envy Phoenix H9 configuration with Raid drives

  I was about to press the button on Envy H9 with Raid 1 2x2TB readers, but I found that this selection I limited to only 1 optical drive of the selection.  I like the advantage of having 2 optical drives to copy discs, but also like security of the Riad discs in reverse. I contacted HP sales but they could help answer why such a limitation with the Raid configuration. I must point out thatI can select 2 optical drives if I select 2 independent drives. Someone at - it understand why the number of optical discs that me is available depends on if I have 2disk readers in the configuration of the Raid or not?

  Thank you

  Hello

• Adding a new Hot Swap HDD to a PowerEdge T420

  My server T420 currently switchable 3-hot hard drives installed and I intend to install 2 hard drives hot swap. The server has ESXi 5.1 and I am looking for the instructions for this process. The plan is to turn off the server, install the new HDD and reconfigure the BIOS to power for hard drives new. Is the installation process for the similar server to our plan or very different?

  Shad515,

  You can stop the server, but it is not necessary since you have hot swappable hard drives. While in THE RAID controller BIOS, simply insert drives into available slots. Hard drives will appear in a 'READY' State At this point, you have to reconfigure your virtual disk as needed.

• Configuration of memory PowerEdge T410

  Hi all

  Let me start by saying our current configuration of memory (Dell PowerEdge T410):

  We have only one processor installed, so we have 4 DIMM for use A1 - A4. Only 3 are currently installed like:

  A3: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

  A2: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

  A1: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

  A4: white

  in its current wording, our server (running sbs2011) is extremely slow, and we traced it to the use of the RAM. That being said, I went to the store in line of Dell and bought 2 8 GB 4Rx8 1066 RAM sticks to use on the server. I thought I'd take a module of 4 GB, so I then total 24GB (2 GB + 2 8 GB 4).

  Read the manual material, I see that mix 2rx8 and 4rx8 is supported as long as the 4rx8 is in the white slot (first location of the channel). I also see that mixture of capacities of ram is supported as long as each channel has a similar configuration. I assumed that this means that each channel had the same capacity. So I thought 8 GB in every channel:

  A3: 8 GB (channel 2)

  A2: 8 GB (channel 1)

  A1: 4 GB (channel 0)

  A4: 4GB (channel 0)

  I placed the DIMMs in this thought of configuration I have all together until I started the server and I get an error of the incompatibility of DIMM and the BIOS indicates memory configuration not supported. However, starting the server in windows and it says 24GO and is normally. What Miss me? Should I be worried? How can I fix?

  Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

  Hello

  It is not optimal because you mix DIMMS in a bank. The system supports memory triple channel. It does this by spreading a Bank of memory on 3 channels. Here is how the banks are set up:

  DIMM 0 - 1,2,3
  DIMM 1-4

  For an optimal configuration of the DIMMS in slots 1,2,3 must be identical. In older systems that do not support memory flexible configuration the DIMMS in slots 2.3 would be disabled. Since this system supports flexible memory configurations, it will allow the DIMM to stay, but gives no optimal error.

  If you mix memory in this system, you can have 1 Unlike DIMM installed for an optimal configuration. The optimal configuration that uses the maximum memory to the DIMM you have available would be:

  8 GB - 1.2
  4 GB - 4

  The best non-optimal configuration would be:

  8 GB - 1.2
  4 GB - 3.4

  This configuration will always give you errors, but it is better than the current configuration.

  APITech

  I also see that mixture of capacities of ram is supported as long as each channel has a similar configuration.

  This does not mean that you must have identical DIMM modules in the channels. It means that channels must be filled even. Here is an example:

  DIMM 0 slots 1,2,3 =
  DIMM 1 slots 4,5,6 =

  Chanel, 0 = 1.4
  Channel 1 = 2.5
  Channel 2 = 3.6

  You have DIMMs of different rank, speed and capacity mixed through the channels, but you can't have different configurations. For example, in this configuration if you filled DIMM slots 1,2 and then the configuration is valid for DIMM 1 would be filling in only one MEMORY card into the Groove 4 (if the system did not require DIMM be installed in pairs) or 2 DIMMS in slots 4.5. You can't fill a DIMM in the slot 6 since the first slot (3) in the channel (2) is not met.

  The population of channel rule means essentially that you can not complete the second slot in a channel if the first place is not filled. In your housing system 1 and 4 are channel 0. All channels have only a single slot assigned to each memory controller. As long as you have one DIMM in slot 1, you can fill the slot 4.

  Memory population rules can be very confusing. If you have any other questions let me know.

• Hard disk replacement 5 RAID PowerEdge T620

  Hi all

  Here's the situation.  One of my clients has a Dell PowerEdge T620 that raids.  Group 0 is RAID 1 with discs hard 0 and 1.  Group 1 is a RAID 5 with 2-6 drives.  The RAIDs are hardware RAID and software either.  I do CTRL + R to join RAID controller at the start of the server system.

  6 player came with a predictive failure (flash green once, once orange flash, no flash, repeat).  It is not indicating that it is bad in the RAID software.  In the Dell software manage Open, he states that it is a non-critical error.  I called Dell and they sent a disc of the same type, style and size.

  Here's my question: since this is a critical server what is the best way to replace the hard drive and the RAID to rebuild.  Don't want to lose all the data on this since it is an EMR system.

  Yes, I guess that the RAID will rebuild itself, so I have to ask if this is also true, a RAID 5 system will rebuild itself when a hard drive is restarted?

  Thank you

  Hello

  kwilkegrizzlies

  Since it is a critical server what is the best way to replace the hard drive and the RAID to rebuild.

  • You must ensure that you have a valid backup first tested
  • Run a check consistency before replacing or drive offline
  • Disconnected the disk before replacing
  • Hot the disc if you have a bottom of basket. Turn off and unplug replace it if cable.

  You can use OpenManage Server Administrator for offline consistency checks and initiate.

  Thank you
