DELL PowerEdge 1800 Raid SCSI

Hello!

At the moment im dealing with a DELL PowerEgge 1800. It is used for BS that development issues - not a productive machine. Performance problems caused by SCSI for Dell Perc 4 controllers are well known, according to me. This is exactly my problem.  :|

Attached to the Perc 4 there are 4 pcs. 146 GB pluggable hard drives to hot home. I want to change the Perc to something with more performance - but without changing something to minimize costs.

I'm not able to find something suitable in the HCL for ESX4 (which is not to say it is not written there...). I need a single channel U320 raid controller with PCI - X or PCI-E interface. I Don t mind if it is not listed in the HCL (server is for test and dev only)-he comes to work.  And need a fairly cheap controller card.

At first I thougt on an Adaptec 29320-R. But I read that this type of controller only is not supported by ESX 4 more because of the 64-bit compatibility.

So I see two ways:

1: find a suitable map (see above). Someone at - it ideas?

2: return o ESX 3.5 because they could be more controllers can be used in this scenario. The 29320-R can be used here?

THX in advance for your ideas...

Martin

In the compatibility section of material from the VMware site... ([http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php?action=search&deviceCategory=io&productId=1&advancedORbasic=advanced&maxDisplayRows=50&key=&release] = 13 & datePosted =-1 & partnerId = 4] & [] ioTypeId = 1 & manufacturer [] = - 1 & vid = & did = & svid = & ssid = & rorre = 0)

Site of Adaptec 29320ALP card supports support RAID 0, 1, and 10 only.

The card 39320 is also listed in the HCL

With several controllers Adaptec SCSI RAID more listed, you have to choose between. I am assured to seek those who would compatible with ESX/ESXi4 u1, but as far I can see, at least compatibility version 3.5.

At this point, you will need to search with the features really, you need and a price you can get purchased cards.

  • Dell Poweredge 1800 Raid 5 accidental removal of the HARD drive

    I was trying to see the type of Raid HARD drive I wanted to upgrade the server. Out-of-disk HARD 3, 2 were disconnected. I turned off the server and then reconnected the HARD drive. The Raid is currently offline. It displays 00, 01 are missing and 03 as connected.

  • Step to convert the current Dell PowerEdge 1800 server in Esxi 4

    We have production server, which is Dell PowerEdge 1800 with Windows SBS 2003 with 3 hard drives in RAID. And then, we want to make this server as VMware Esxi 4 with the same Windows 2003 SBS server. We will replace the 3 new hard disks, but new readers are not the same as the old disks. What is the right next step? Because it comes to the production server, we cannot lose all data.

    1. use VMWare vCenter Converter to convert the current Windows 2003 SBS to VMWare workstation

    2. Replace with 3 new hard drives and install VMWare EsXi 4 CD

    3 use VMWare vCenter Converter to load WMWare workstation image into the new server Esxi 4.

    Please let me know if this is the correct order? Is there a risk? Thank you!

  • Change a failing drive - RAID Dell Poweredge H310 - RAID 1

    Hi guys,.

    Thank you for everything that support you in these forums. I'm new here.

    We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server on my new place of work. It is Dell Poweredge H310 RAID controller on it. It is configured in RAID-1, with 2 discs.

    Now my question is: in the event that one of the drives breaks down:

    1 - I should insert the new drive into the slot where the failed disk has been inserted, or in the following location?

    2 - will be the new drive automatically "copied" with the healthy disk data or it will need some work?

    I read the manual and chapter 'Replacement year Online physical disk', says the following, but I don't know the answer to these questions:

    1. in the management of virtual disks window, select Virtual Disk # and press the arrow key down until the physical disks is highlighted.

    2. press arrow right key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk.

    3. press the down arrow and select the desired physical disk that you want to replace. Press to view the list of operations permitted on the disc.

    4. Select Replace and then start.

    5. tap on the down arrow to select a replacement disk and then press the SPACEBAR to select the disk.

    6. click OK to start the replacement.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Kind regards.

    Videoclocknet,

    You must remove the failed disk and replace it with another similar drive on the same niche. When you choose the following location, be sure to follow the steps in the virtual disk management screen (VD) as you have indicated.

    The failed drive will be replaced and the replacement drive will be one on the following location. Either way is perfectly fine. You can then monitor status of the VD and the reconstruction process using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

    2 disks configured in RAID 1 act as a reflection of the other. Failure of 1 drive ensures that the same data are available on the other. When you replace the failed disk, the rebuilding process begins, and the same data gets automatically copied.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  • 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.

  • (Redirected) Card SCSI Dell poweredge 1951 backlane

    Hello world

    I installed and running a Dell poweredge 1950 that I use it to backup (tape) using Backup EXEC 2014. In the alley, he has an empty slot for a SCSI expansion card where a need can connect via a SCSI connection a different external tape drive. Due to the fact that the dell model is quite old, it is difficult to find a type of card.

    I found online something to my request: [View:www.amazon.co.uk/.../ref=sr_1_fkmr1_2]

    but the problem is that it has two SCSI ports and it is too big to get it. I tried to find one with a single port, but I can't seem to find it. Have you also had this problem and if so where you bought the SCSI expansion? There is also the option to purchase a SCSI cable / USB, but I don't want to go with this solution. All advice what to do or where to buy expansion card I need.

    Thanks for the tips.

  • 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:

    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.

    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.

  • DELL PowerEdge R710 and PERC H700 RAID driver for WIn 2008 Std

    Hi all

    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.
