Dell PowerEdge 2950 Backplane - error message: SAS B missing cable. Misconfigured?

We have a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2950 s, they came with a built-in SAS Perc5i RAID controller.

Unfortunately the Perc5i is a kind of fake raid 10 (a span of mirrors) rather than a bunch of mirrors so we had to get some raid cards appropriate instead.

So now the perc5i on board is disconnected from the bottom of basket and disabled in bios, and we have our new raid card installed and connected to the bottom of basket - all is well and they work well.

However when the machines bios startup stops and we get an error message saying the following:

«SAS B cable missing /.» Misconfigured.

Turn the system power off and connected properly. Details for the wiring of storage system information label and manual Ownders hardware.

Press F1 to continue, F2 to run the configuration utility.

How can we stop this message? This is obviously completely false; our new SAS cards are connected to the bottom of the basket and works very well. I don't see anywhere to disable this message in the bios or the 5 BMC Management utility.

BIOS version is 2.2.6 (last)

BMC firmware is 1.97 (last)

Backplane firmware is 1.05 (last)

Help, please!

  • ESXi 3.5 on Dell Poweredge 2950 and Dell 6 GB/s card SAS HBA?

    Hello.

    I'm under ESXi 3.5 u4 on a Dell poweredge 2950 machine.

    I recently bought a Dell Powervault 124 t. autoloader with a HBA SAS 6 GB/s card.

    I installed the card SAS in the PE 2950, but now I can't seem to see in ESXi.

    Can someone help me with this?

    Thank you very much.

    I'm afraid that the Dell technician is correct.

    Someone at - it a link on ESX support not directly connected devices?

    This isn't the issue. The question is: do you have a link that shows devices supported?

    Reference Dell does support the autoloader Powervault 124 t. on ESXi 3.5?

    Have you checked the VMware HCL already, if the SAS controller is included/supported for ESXi version, you are running?

    There are a few articles which have tape readers running with Adaptec SCSI controllers, I don't see anything for ESXi 3.5 with a SAS controller still...

    Maybe there's a better chance to make this work with ESX 4.x with VMDirectPath

  • Dell PowerEdge 2950 of installation

    I'm testing DPM on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  To make this work, I have need to configure IPMI if I can have a server go to safe mode and out of safe mode.  I've been Googling like crazy, but have been unable to find an answer on how to get this working.  Whenever I try to put my host in standby I get this message:

    vCenter has determined that it cannot resume host & lt; hostname & gt; standby; Therefore, the eve of the entry task was suspended.
    Confirm that IPMI/ILO is configured correctly for host & lt; hostname & gt;.  Or, configure vCenter to use WoL, making sure there are at least two or more hosts in the cluster, and then try the task again.

    A couple of things about this error: an it is a cluster two host (for testing purposes).  Two, I use Dell hardware so I have to use IPMI not ILO.

    I have connected my DRAC page and enabled IPMI over LAN, but I don't know what else to do here, and I don't know where all the parameters concerning this in vCenter or ESX.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Gunnar

    I used the setting of Dell OpenManage.

    Under system / main system / remote access, you can see:

    Select the IPMI Over LAN-> Yes (don't forget it is YES)

    SOIL active Yes

    XXXXXXXXXX MAC address

    IPv4 address

    IP address static Source

    YYYYY IP address

    In ESX, under Configuration / PowerManagement / properties I use:

    BMC IP: YYYYY

    BMC MAC: XXXXX

    I have server Dell PowerEdge 2950, I need to install Windows 2003 Standard Edition and save it as a file server for my network.

    Please guide me how to create RAID 1 using PERC 5 / i utility of configuration?

  • Dell PowerEdge 2950 P2V problem

    Physical server:

    Dell PowerEdge 2950

    Windows 2003 R2 Standard x 86 operating system

    Sheet music:

    Dell - hidden partition

    C: BONE

    E: Data2

    F: Data3

    G: data4

    vSphere ESXi 4.1 (under license)

    ISCSI SAN

    vCenter Server

    I tried on cold hidden server with boot CD, but received the error "unable to determine the operating system invited."  Looks like that I don't have the driver for the Dell raid controller in the boot CD.

    I decided to go with the hot P2V using the plug-in for VirtualCenter.  I stop the SQL server service and disabled the firewall disabled the anti-virus tools.  Only two partitions (C and G) on the physical server must be in the new virtual machine.  So, I've selected partitions C and G and has increased the size of the drive at a time.  I made sure not to install the vmware tools and unchecked the option reconfigures.   The P2V conversion was successful.   But when I went to start the virtual machine, it starts with the 'VMWARE' logo and restarts immediately.  Restart the virtual computer so fast I can't even in the BIOS unless I hit the key several times.   I did the clonning with the hidden partition, but with the same problem.   There are no BSOD or any indication that the virtual machine cannot find the vdisks.   Called in vmware support.  They used webex for an hour, but could not fix.  Asked me to send in the logbundle.

    I HERE it if someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Another option is to install the Standalone Converter 3.0.3 on the PowerEdge, stop all services and performing the conversion.

  • VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

    Hi all

    I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

    I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

    I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

    Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

    Kind regards

    Michael Lange

    I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

    You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

    What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

    If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

    ·         Have you try installation or uninstalling any program like the SIMS 3 on your system?

     

    Method 1:

    The problem could be caused by some startup item or services that is loaded at startup.

    I suggest you perform the clean boot on your system and check if it helps to resolve the issue.

    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
