• 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:

  Dell PowerEdge R730
  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 2950, ESXi 4.0, doesn't have a hard drive

  Hi all

  I just joined the forum for posting this, I could not find anything about my question really and I hope you can help.

  I have a Dell PE2950 with ESXi 4.0 and six 500 GB drives. A VM guest that resides on the host is our domain controller. I'm not sure of the RAID of the ESX Server configuration because there is no Server Setup, must understand this soon. One of the hard drives failed, is showing a yellow light on the sled by car and vSphere said in his papers.

  Issues related to the:

  1. I'm looking for something tangible on the best way to do so; best practices article kb article, forum posts. We should hot swap the drive as is? Stop all servers first? First migrate the servers to another server ESXi?

  2 is it possible to know which level of RAID is configured for vSphere?

  Thank you!

• DELL PowerEdge R730 (Gen 13) always 100% fan (16000 RPM +)

  Hello

  I have a brand new R730 DELL.  Since the time I first started the box, the beginning of fans out to what I consider normal speed, halfway through start, then for as long as the box is enabled, the fans are strong and spinning to their maximum rate 100% or about 16000 RPM.  There are 6 fans in this area.

  I have updated the BIOS to the latest firmware 2.2.25, I also updated the firmware from LifeCycleController to the last 2.40.40.40.

  Dell technician has been there twice to replace 1) all motherboard (motherboard) and the other 2) maps PCI riser (who had the button intrusion).

  The server fans still spin 100%.

  I did:

  -the flea power drain

  -the IPMI command to turn off cooling for PCIe

  -remove all memory but 1 chip in A1 and deleted 8 SSDS.

  Turning always to 100%.

  When you look at the installation of the fan to the iDRAC, I can't even set a custom value because the beach is stuck at 100-100%.

  There is no additional PCI or PCIe cards installed.

  Does anyone have an idea what is happening here.  It does not seem right that this fan run at 100% all the time.

  Looking at the configuration of the system, the server was shipped with 2 processors Intel Xeon E5-2689 V4. These processors have additional thermal requirements and so RPM fans' will operate 100% as a trade off. Based on this information, the fans run according to the needs.

• RAID and Dell PowerEdge T110 ESXi 5.0 configuration

  I just do a fresh install of ESXi 5.0 on a Dell server, which has 2 x 250 GB HDDs in RAID 1 configuration. However, in the management of ESXi I am presented with 2 drive 250 GB each, which should be visible as a single drive. This is something that Windows 2008, on bare metal, took care, and what should I do with ESXi to fix this? I just need to reboot the server and enter the RAID configuration? I need to be careful because I don't want to lose any existing data. Thank you.

  Welcome to the community,

  ESXi supports only RAID controllers that are transparently logical drives to the operating system. In your case, it seems that you are using a RAID controller for software that requires additional drivers for the RAID of the operating system, which are not available for ESXi.

• Additional 2 x 1 TB HARD drive upstream Del PowerEdge running ESXi 4

  Hi all

  I would like to add additional 2 x 1 TB drive in my current work ESXi 4 Server that runs on Dell Power Edge 2950 - III the current configuration is 4 x 500 GB SATA RAID 5, do I have to reinstall the server just to add these two records in the data store to save it?

  Kind regards

  AWT

  If you have the PERC controller, simply add the disk in half.

  If you have OpenManage (OMSA), you can create new RAID configuration without restarting your system.

  Otherwise, just restart the system, enter the PERC BIOS, create a new virtual disk.

  Then, in ESX / Setup / storage card be sure to see the new drive (if it is not a new analysis).

  Then just add a new data store (in Configuration / Storage).

• Install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820

  
  Greetings,

  I try to install ESXi on a Dell PowerEdge R820 server.  I have problems with the reason of the installation because the NETWORK adapter is not supported by the operating system (5.1 ESXi).  I did a little research and discovered that there are custom versions of ESXi out there to install on vaious systems.  That would be the problem?  If so, does anyone know a particluar website that I might be able to get the correct version of ESXi 5.1 for this server dell PowerEdge R820.
  Here are the specs:

• 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 P2V problem

  Physical server:

  Dell PowerEdge 2950

  Windows 2003 R2 Standard x 86 operating system

  Sheet music:

  Dell - hidden partition

  C: BONE

  D: Data1

  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.

• ESXi 5.1 updrade to 5.5u2 PowerEdge R730

  I had a few R730 brand-new which comes preinstalled with ESXI 5.1 u2, on flash cards double and the size of each of them is 7 GB

  What is the procedure to upgrade the esxi 5.1 to 5.5 on PowerEdge R730 using the iso dell custom", and 7 GB will be sufficient for the upgrade process?

  Thank you

  * boot ISO shows datasore and two data warehouses 7 GB 300 GB *.

  Alshawwa,

  The process is simply to run the update with the ISO custom. I guess that the hypervisor resides on SD cards, so if this is the case, then select for update. The 7 GB is more than enough space for the hypervisor and upgrade. ISO is just show hard drives, as well as 2 redundant (7 GB) SD cards.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Dell Poweredge 2850 and ESXi 4.1

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 12 GB of RAM and two CPUs, hyperthreading with 350 GB of disk space.

  This box was initially installed with Redhat Linux ES 5.4 64-bit and OS 64 bit CentOS 5.5 with no problems, so I know the processor supports 64-bit.

  I then installed VMWare ESXi version 4.1 on the Dell Poweredge 2850 with no problems.

  Then, I created a few instances VM I want to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit.  During the installation of a VMware instance, I get this:

  msg.cpuid.notLongmodeQuestionFmt:This veritual is configured for 64-bit operating systems.
  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152
  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Now the question I have is this: given that VMWare is problems with 64-bit OSes comments, how is it that I can install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on this Dell PowerEdge 2850 with no problems.  It seems obvious to me that the PowerEdge 2850 works well with the 64 bit OS but not ESXi 4.1.

  How can I get around this?

  Comments?  Thanks in advance.

  The dell series 8 (1850/2850) have no vt support, so not support 64-bit virtual machine, except 6850.

  The output of the processor shows the same thing, or rather, what he shows no vt in its ability.  It shows lm, long mode, so you can run 64-bit, that you are running ESX, but to succeed in this 64-bit support, you need the lm, you and vt, which you don't have.

• Install.VGZ fails in ESXi 4.1 install on a Dell Poweredge R710

  I have a cluster of ESXi 4.1 six-host running on Dell Poweredge R710.  They start from a USB key connected to an internal USB port.  I did at least 12-20 installs on the same hardware without problem.

  When I try to re - install on the single ISO ESXi 4.1 host via the iDRAC, the installation fails when loading install.vgz with the error message: "Booting: MBI = 0x000100c0, enter = 0x0040024a.

  I studied the two codes and the only suggestion that I get, it's that my hardware is not supported (specifically that my 32-bit processor is not supported).  I do not have a 32-bit processor, so I know that I can surrender.  I downloaded the CPU VMware ISO (file:///C:/Users/pguarco/Downloads/VMware-CPU-Compatibility-e.x.p-160658.zip) compatibility, and my CPU meets all requirements.  Previous installation of ESXi host crashed for unknown reasons, where the re - install.  It is possible, that there is a hardware problem.  Any ideas on how to limit this problem?

  you are doing the right thing. only thing I could thing is bad ISO, (Please make sure that the checksum is correct). and the worst case material PE firmware update.
