Degraded RAID 1 array: PowerEdge 2800

• RAID 1 array degraded; no option to rebuild

  I have a PowerEdge T110 server with a PERC S100 RAID controller (firmware / RAID of 'false').  Unfortunately, I had a little accident tonight while I was working on this machine.  In trying to clean up a mess of cable, I accidentally yanked on the wrong cable and disconnected the power supply of the server.

  When the server has been run through POST, he paused and said the RAID 1 array was degraded.  Entering the S100 configuration, it tells me that unit 0 is degraded, and the other is fine.  The server starts very well.

  I opened the OpenManage utility that displays the status of the Ramdisk to deteriorate as well.  However, despite the poster the State as being degraded, absolutely nowhere no it lists all option to rebuild the table.  I can't even check the consistency.  Under the drop-down list for 'tasks', the only available options are:

  1. Delete
  2. Having-right/remove the dedicated hot spare assignment
  3. Change of name

  That's all.  Of course, I don't want to do any of these.  The BIOS configuration utility seems also unnecessary.  Although it lists the specific physical drive that is deteriorating, I see no option to rebuild the coherence of the table.  Because the physical disk has failed and is not actually damaged, I don't need or want to replace it.

  So, why everything isn't rebuild option listed, and how can I rebuild this table without deleting all of the volume and restore a backup?

  I tried swapping cables, and while he was smart enough to realize that the disk has just moved, it has not affected the degraded disk.

  I decided to do bankruptcy and just remove the degraded and 'clean' drive by using DiskPart.  That has worked, and Windows 7 shows the drive as "not initialized".  I put back it in the server, and it has been recorded as being non RAID... was not even as 'new '.  Basically, it was like its own volume automatically.

  I kept starting in Windows Server to verify that I have screwed something up to put my nerves at ease.  Windows starts, I went in the virtual disks of OpenManage section and saw that the (rather old) 'new' drive appeared.  So, I chose "delete" in the list of available jobs.  He deleted successfully, disappearing from the list of virtual disks.

  At this point, I thought I could go ahead and assign a spare drive dedicated to the array degraded since the tasks available.  Nope. No disks available. What?

  Panic now, I went in the "physical disk" section of OpenManage, and he was there with his status as a 'ready' (opposite to 'online').  The title of his available tasks, it was 'global hot spare assignment. "  I did that, and the status of the RAID battery under 'virtual disks' changed to 'reconstruction '.

  [ADMIN NOTE: profanity removed by TOU], why was it so difficult?

  During the time I spent writing this, its reconstruction progress has reached 4%.  I'll update on the State when it is finished.

  EDIT: Everything worked successfully.  Reconstruction finished after a few hours and the RAID volume is re-reading in good health.

• POWEREDGE 2800 memory/battery problem

  Hello

  The server DELL POWEREDGE 2800 our company with windows sbs 2003 suddeenly server has restarted yesterday and stuck in the POST gives the error"

  Memory/battery problems were detected.

  The adapter has recovered, but cached data have been lost.

  Press a key to continue. "

  I have three times restarted the server by pressing a button to continue. All three time loading of bones preserved for a long time and restarted the same screen of the error.

  ATLAST I turned off the server and checked for any loose contacts according to the suggestion of dell. I removed the disk 0, 2 HHD, HDD3 in channel one o and replugged in and started the server. Same system has occurred. 1 HARD disc is already failed in RAID 5 and the place so that the disc is empty, I suspected may be another disk HARD in the same row is a failure and so I removed HDD 0 and rebooted the server. the same symptom (2003 loaded and stuck). turned off the server ' reconnected HDD0 and removed HDD2 and restarted the server, but the same symptom.

  Reconnected the HDD 2 and disconnected HDD3 after restarting the server, it gives error loading operating system.

  There are disk HARD 4 and 5 two more hard drive HARD drive in another channel 1

  How to recover from this problem and our secure server data?

  Please help me with this because I'm helpless and the server must be brought im production tomorrow

  Thank you & best regards

  If your LCD is blue and you get the error of memory/battery on each startup, then you need to replace memory RAID (99% chance that it is rarely a defective battery or the riser).  The operating system will not usually start in this scenario.

  If your LCD is amber and a message about the scrolling ROMB battery voltage, you should replace the RAID battery (sometimes it's because of riser).  The operating system will usually start and work very well in this scenario.

  First of all, stop playing with readers and replace the memory RAID (and battery and lift to be 100% sure).  Once it is replaced, due to all mixture player you have done, you might have a few steps very careful to recover your data and make your table online.  When you're ready to do this (again, it is useless before repairing the message memory/battery), call Dell technical support - it's always free on servers, regardless of the status of the guarantee.

• PowerEdge 2800 - problem with Internet remote access

  Hi all

  I came here for help with connectivity to my server remotely. I bought Server poweredge 2800, I did all the necessary configurations including raid and system installation. After I try to open a remote web access to my server and I still can't get this to work. I went to my server configuration and static value ip, gateway, mask after that I tried to connect to it, via a browser, since different pc in my network for poweredge on standby. Unfortunetly, I can't get connection with it (I put https://ipAddress). I went again this configuration and also tried with the customer option dhcp or static including the configuration of my router for this ip address, but no one works for me. I don't have any idea what I'm doing wrong. Can you please help me please?

  Open a command prompt and type in the following:

  racadm racresetcfg (this will reset to the default values listed below DRAC) - reset may take up to 10 minutes to complete - there is no progress shown, so give it about 10 minutes before moving.

  IP address: 192.168.0.120
  Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
  Default gateway: 192.168.0.1
  Login: root
  Password: calvin

  If this information will not work for you, you can set the network information by the following from the command prompt:

  racadm setniccfg s ipAddress netmask entry gate

  Again, can take a few minutes before you can access it with the new settings.

• PowerEdge 2800 can get into the BIOS (f2, ctrl m, f10, f12)

  OK this is here,

  about a week ago, we tried to reformat poweredge 2800, I tried to find the Configuration utility instead we discovered was on iSCSi devices to RAID configuration change so we restarted, there is the Configuration utility on but I tried to enter the configuration utility and I wouldn't not start up on the configuration utility instead it repeats on you inviting them to press ctrl-m for utility configuration.

  what im asking is now how can I solve this problem? If someone has encountered this problem?

  It is not clear, according to your post is what is the problem, but if your problem is that you can simply enter the configuration RAID CTRL-M utility, try reinstalling the RAID key (near system memory) and riser.  You can also try to clear the NVRAM using the jumpers on the motherboard.

• Suggested Drive setup for new h8 - 1360t with SSD and Raid-1 array

  All,

  I need some advice on how to configure the drives in my new system (waiting for construction and delivery, sigh).

  I bought a plan to replace the 1 TB drive with a new drive SSD that I start from and H8 - 1360T (Win 7 Pro).

  I also have a Raid-1 array in an old HP 4999 T system (Vista) disks Western Digital Caviar Black 2x2TB

  By looking at the motherboard plug appear to be only SATA0/1 6 GB/s, the others are 3GBPS.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132942

  I was a little surprised by that and need some advice.

  1. If I put the SSD on SATA0 or SATA1, the quickest way?

  2 or do I put the drives Raid-1 array and move the SSD to path of 3 Gbps?

  I think this last (option 2), but wanted to get your entry in case missed me something.

  Thank you

  Joel

  Ruette,

  Thanks for your comments. Looks like I should start with Option 1 as a better starting point.

• Factory restore / Boot Order RAID 0 array?

  I have a 'mobile 'current enforcement office (laptop) XP Pro SP2 with dual hard drives in a RAID 0 array.  For various reasons, I want to put the machine in its factory out-of-the-box condition using discs of recovery/restoration of the manufacturer (essentially the application of Norton Ghost). I did my due diligence regarding the restoration of the machine and 'reconstruction' from there, but the machine does not start on boot from the restore disc CD.  I do not venture into the BIOS often... the existing boot priority order is as follows:

  1. USB FDC:

  2 PCISCSI: FTTX Ary1

  3 IDEO_M: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM

  4 IDEO_S: _NEC DVD + /-RW

  5. PCI LAN:

  6.

  7 etc.

  I don't have a built-in floppy drive. I want the machine to start from #3 (my first optical drive).  In the order of precedence of the BIOS Boot, I simply move #3 to the #1 or #2 position?  Will be other items then simply drop into their existing order?

  I do not know how does RAID 0 of the table is on the boot order selection, but I don't want to spoil anything.  I appreciate your help and your expertise.

  Hi Aravaipa,

  · On what CD drive you insert the disc?

  · The operating system was preinstalled on the computer?

  · If so, what the number and model of the computer?

  · If it was custom build provide the serial number and model of the motherboard?

  · Have you have saved data on the computer?

  I suggest you to back up data before performing the procedure below:

  1. If the computer is preinstalled on RAID 0 configuration then you might need to break the Raid by changing the variable speed drive (ATA controller) to Normal or IDE

  2. as you have two CD/make ROM DVD readers like the first and the second in the boot sequence and make the method of trial and error to see what DVD Rom detects the recovery disk

  Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. You can contact the manufacturer of the computer for better assistance.

• Windows Server 2012 on PowerEdge 2800

  I have a PowerEdge 2800 with a PERC 4e/Di controller that I use as a computer lab.  It had Windows Server 2008 R2 installed (that is, x 64), and today I wiped and attempted to install Windows Server 2012 GTR.  Guess what?  There is no support drivers for this system with 2012 GTR.  I remember well, driver support has been included with 2008 R2.  After some digging around, I could download the driver for Windows Server 2003 x 64 on the Dell site, and now I have an installation of 2012.  Seriously, how lame is that?

  It did take a lot of effort for the Member States to include support for PE 2800 drivers and similar systems of older, but very capable, especially since the drivers already exist in most cases.  FWIW, it doesn't look like 2012 supports the 2900 PE, that is almost a dinosaur.  Or how about Dell in extending the life of these systems with a few driver updates?

  Get up to speed on important new BONE is a very big company on several levels.  Should we go buy all new material too, just to a lab eval?  There are thousands of COMPUTER stores with older, but very capable, systems that we spent a lot of $$$ on.  Provision of these systems a new OS allows people like me make me learn and test the new operating system with virtually no disbursements.  It's a win-win.  Unfortunately, the vendors are very short in this area.

  Anyway, if you are looking to get 2012 running on the PE 2800, try the W2K3 driver.

  2008 (not R2) had native drivers for the PERC 4e/Di, but 2008 R2 doesn't have (Microsoft has removed the native support for devices SCSIport - go ahead, these devices will not be taken out-of-the-box support of Microsoft).

  Dell does not yet sell Server 2012 and they have yet to publish all the necessary drivers for that, but R2 2008 drivers should better work:

  www.Dell.com/.../PowerEdge-2800

  More information - it is currently valid internally on 9G systems and newer, but drivers have not yet been released; not clear if they will press 8G (which does not necessarily mean that it will not work):

• RAID 5 array on PERC6 / I offline

  OK, so we have a 2970 with a PERC6/i. 5 disks in a RAID 5 array and a hot spare. I apparently lost two readers today, one failed and the other started showing as a foreign config. I erased the foreign config and I replaced the drive, but now on my table, I show 3 disks and 2 marked pitches "missing." How can I make this table back online and ready to go without deletion and creation of a new VD? Thanks in advance...

  IMPORT

  Used ONLY when the array is offline (non-functional/failed). If you have a 3-drive RAID 5 and two disks are foreign (or a stranger, a failure or missing), RAID 5 is dead and off line. You must import it in this case. If you replace a drive has failed/foreigners with a new and a new is marked as foreign and you import, you will corrupt your data.

  CLAIRE

  Used ONLY when the table is online (upward and running, functional). If you have a 3-drive RAID 5 and a single drive foreign shows (which means that the disc is also offline), you must DELETE it (if it is an original or a replacement drive), and then assigned as a hot spare.

  In general, once you clear the foreign configuration, you do not get a second chance - the disc is in a ready state.

• 4.0, ESXi and 3Ware 9650SE Raid 10 array - now what?

  Hello-

  I installed ESXi 4.0 on a new server with the above mentioned RAID 10 array and that you have installed vSphere Client on a separate computer. Under storage cards, I see the following:

  ICH10 2 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba1 block SCSI

  vmhba34 block SCSI

  ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba0 block SCSI

  vmhba33 block SCSI

  iSCSI Software adapter

  iSCI adapter software iSCSI

  Mobo is a supermicro X8DAH + controller 3Ware is a 9650SE SATA 8LPML (8 ports) with 4 disks preconfigure RAID 10

  How can I get ESXi to see table so I can start installing VM?

  Also, leading me to http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15548.aspx

  Yes, this link seems to have enough detailed instructions on how to install the specific driver under ESX and ESXi.

  When I run Setup ESXi 4.0 DVD, there no option anywhere to load additional drivers?

  According to the article, your RAID device can only serve as secondary storage under ESXi.    If this is the case, I would be first to install ESXi to a small local SATA or USB.  After the initial installation, you can then follow the instructions in the article linked to download/install the driver for your RAID controller.  Then you can use your RAID array to store your guests on.

• PowerEdge 2850 - Perc 4e/Di - status of the RAID-1 array

  I'm trying to give a sense of the info in OMSA 2.1.0 for a RAID 1 virtual disk on a server Poweredge 2850 + Perc 4e/Di.   Array disk 0:0 died at an unknown point in the past.  Info OMSA before replacing the drive:

  

  

  We have added another 0:0 drive, he rebuilt successfully automatically and this is the current info:

  

  

  

  So the State of the virtual disk RAID-1 is is more "degraded" and yet it is still showing only 0:1 Hitachi disk array and not the new 0:0 Seagate.  How this should be interpreted?  We also have another virtual disk raid 10 on this same server with discs model even who had also a drive down and replace this trained player the new Seagate drive not appearing in the table of Raid-10 list as expected.  the difference was that the Raid array-10, the original disk was displayed in OMSA as 'impossible', while on RAID-1 above, no other player has been listed.

  It should show the other disk.  A few things to try:

  • Refresh the screen VD
  • Closing/re-open OMSA
  • Stop/re-start services OMSA (DSM)
  • Clear the ESM/Hardware log in OMSA
  • Restart the server
  • Updating system firmware (BIOS, ESM, PERC (first pilot), HARD drive)

  All the foregoing may work, but it's probably caused by obsolete OMSA and/or firmware/drivers.

• Can upgrade you a PowerEdge 2800 with a PERC 5 or 6 PCIe RAID controller?

  Hello

  We have many PE2800 servers which are always good, but will not support Windows Server R2 2012 wanted to believe in the presence of the PERC 4e/Di controller. So it is possible to disable the on-board PERC 4e/Di controller and install a PERC 5/6 card PCIe (connecting to the bottom of basket)

  Has anyone already done this? Sorry if this has been asked before

  Thank you

  Simon

  There are not. Microsoft more support SCSI from 2012. Sometimes the drivers of Windows 2008 R2 can operate, so you could try to download the drivers from Dell 2008 R2 and see if 2012 will accept those.

  Another important note: 2800/2850 supports not all processors with VT, so you will not be able to use the Hyper-v Server. At best you can run the virtual server or a similar alternative such as VMware Server or VirtualBox (but this may require decommissioning of the OS that I'm not sure 2012 R2 you can install one of these). If they do not install, they will be limited to the execution of virtual machines with only 32-bit operating systems.

  Need you at least a 2900/2950 to have VT and have the ability to run x 64 VMs.
