Dell RAID 10 PERC6i reference limits?

It is probably a stupid question but,

Dell online shop Configurator does not allow PERC6i RAID 10 configurations more 3.6 TB. Sniff autour on google, it seems, there is a limit artificial store (Dell system images do not go over this size?), and the underlying PERC6i does not have such a limitation.

Just to check, anyone currently running a host ESXi 4 with a Dell PERC6i with a RAID 10 volume greater than 3.6 to?

I know that I can get around the limit of store by selecting for RAID5 and simply recreate the RAID volume once the waiter comes.

I'm not aware of any limitation of size of volume with this controller.  However, as noted above for ESX (i) the table should include the LUNS not larger than (2 TB - 512 bytes).

The annoying limitation of the Perc 5i and 6i controllers, it is only for RAID 10 and RAID 50, only a single LUN occupying all available space can be created.  So to use all the disks in a single Bay RAID 5 or RAID 6 are needed, and with SATA drives because of the size of reliability issue and that really then limits the choice of RAID-6 - as well as its IO write sentence 6.

  • Dell C6100 HyperV Core reference and the Raid management

    I searched on the internet these days, trying to find and to shed light on certain issues, that we realized that we're not totally sure how to solve after the application of a C6100 Dell with HyperV on its blades.

    We have all the blades running with 4 drives, including two in a raid 1 configuration. We run HyperV based on all of its blades.

    What happens if one of those drives fails? 6100 raid configuration utility is in the BIOS, so it is obviously not an option. Since we use Core and have no GUI, other Dell RAID utilities are not going to work.

    How can you check the RAID health, other than just an orange flashing on a failed drive?

    Clrv salvation,

    The C6100 and the other cloud products are based on the IPMI 2.0 management standard and can have alerts sent using SNMP for drive failure or other errors. http://en.community.Dell.com/TechCenter/systems-management/w/wiki/1989.OpenManage-Essentials

  • Failed to create full-size VMFS Datastore on large virtual disk on Dell R710 5 2 t + 1, Raid 5 PERC6i controller

    ESXi4, I installed it on my Dell R710. She has 6 1 TB on PERC6i SAS drives, 5 discs do Raid 5 with hot spare disk 1. And I created 3 VD, 1 is from 40 GB to install the OS, 2 is 1 TB to contain the model ISO and VM and 3 is 2.6 TB to contain the VM.

    After installing ESXi4, I found only 2 created Datastore: 2. 39 GB 1 Datastore and 1 TB data store no data store has been created on the VD 2.6 TB.

    I tried to create it manually, but I found that only 635 GB in size can be created on this 2.6 t. Why? As I remembered ESXi4 can support up to 64 TB VMFS Datastore.

    The BIOS is 1.0.4.

    Someone had the idea?

    http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/2009/06/vSphere-and-2TB-LUNs-changes-from-vi3x.html

    Oh, a data store to 64 would consist of 32 degrees to ~ 2 TB. The limit on the size of the LUN behind the data store is 512 b less than 2 TB

  • Dell Inspiron 1525 Windows Vista - limited network connectivity - nointernet

    Hello

    I am facing problem with my Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium32bit.

    Everything worked well, recently, I deleted a malware windows security databases, after that the display of the network connection is still limited to connectivity, for all types of connections, Ethernet, WiFi, etc. USB tethering. There is no problem with the router. I have hv checked with many links to work.

    I tried following:
    Uninstalling the essential security program
    Turn off turn on network interface.
    netsh Winsock reset & other commands.
    Uninstalling the network drivers.
    remove entries of regedit Winsock.
    Reinstall the drivers.
    SFC /scannon running
    Try the windows diagnostic tool
    Disabling ipv6.

    But after all this the problem persists. In the analysis of sfc logs, CBS.log it displays some error messages such as impossible repair Winsock-core. Looks like the Winsock is corrupt. I tried to uninstall the drivers, removal of winscock entered into regedit and then adding them. Nothing helps. I can't find the Winsock drivers for download.

    Can you please help me how I can fix it. Please note that no internet connection established is working with the system. That's why I need to copy all of the files required through memory external strorage.

    Thank you very much

    Yes, I did the re-installation of Windows Vista using the CD of the OS that came with the computer installed & portable device using the driver CD drivers. Now the network connectivity works great!

    Although I backed up my data it is not necessary that the relocation is not format my drive. He copied old 'windows folder to a windows old folder names"and then all the remaining files, we kept intact.

    See you soon!

  • Dell dimension 4600 RAM reference

    I was wondering if any body could tell me if this ram will be compatible with my dell dimension 4600. I don't know if it's the bus 533 mhz or 800 mhz bus. And for future reference are there other things I have to worry otherwise that: ram speed, pin #of, density of ram? I heard that circuits firmware sometimes match even if I have all of these listed settings match.

    I did dig a little deeper on eBay and I found applications in ram of 4 GB 400 mhz Intel compatible low density for a low $ 20 s. Should I be ignoring these claims?

    Possible, with eBay is a case of buyer beware, before you buy the memory, better know what the seller return policies.

  • (Designed for care Forum) Dell cancelled my order reference

    Hi people,

    I was shot in the foot by Dell trying to buy a new computer? I ordered a computer last week, got my confirmation went to check through my confirmation email, to see that Dell had cancelled my order. I have been in contact with three different departments. My credit card authorized purchases, Dell says they cannot cancel the permissions, or to send me my product unless I have spend another command. Basically, I would just get my order or get my money, but I just couldn't do it anymore. Any recommendations?

    Best regards

  • Dell PowerConnect 7048 P reference stack Questions

    Hello

    I have two switches in L3 7048P I want the battery but I'm not sure how it works. The two switches have the same firmware.

    1 must. the two have the same configuration running on both to make it work?

    2. in addition, I created a VLAN (3) voice on the first switch with an IP address of 10.0.3.254. I use the same IP address on the second switch in the VLAN 3 addresses or assign another?

    Thank you!

    There is a guide especially for stacking switch 7048 on the Dell page networking white papers:

    en.Community.Dell.com/.../2580.Networking-guides.aspx

    Just search "Dell PowerConnect 7000 Series Switches stacking".  Page 16 will tell you how to add a new Member to the battery with minimum interruptions. Both can present the same firmware in order to stack.  So the answer to question 1 is no, the configurations do not need correspond to stack them.  Once stacked, both will look like a single switch, and you use only the IP address of the master swtich to the whole stack.  Therefore, treat the two switches as a single switch during Setup.  The guide provides more information on how it works.

    Hope this has been helpful.

  • Dell Powerconnect 3548P - a reference not rattling, or allowing access to the web console

    Hello

    I wonder why we are able to access our PoE switch through the web console http, I can connect via the serial port and the Dell Setup Wizard, we have all the information and our ip address for that switch to 10.0.3.192 255.255.255.0 with a default gateway of 10.0.3.1.

    So if trying to ping so still times out, and if you connect to it and change the pc ipv4 parameter to point to him, he will not allow access via browser.

    Any suggestion or help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    I've reconfigured everything ManageEngine OpUtils connection to stack Dell via SNMP v2c and the issue seems to be fixed: stack of Dell was to be online from 4 pm and noting happened during the many analyses of OpUtils SNMP. I think that the problem is resolved.

    For your convenience, Dell battery of newspapers (RAM and file those with the maximum detail level) show not record SNMP loss or drop.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

  • Dell Powerconnect 5448 a reference on the vlan by default

    Hello

    Just a question.  A Dell Powerconnect 5448 switch will act as a home if its interfaces are configured with 1 interface connection to a primary switch that has the interface is 'access to the interface mode' by default with a vlan?  It will work with all its switches on vlan interface of uplink or would you need to configure both as the trunks to allow access vlan to work and this switch uplink?

    The 5448 is a layer 2 switch, which by default has a VLAN native of 1 with all interfaces in access mode for the native VLAN 1. On the VLAN native all frames are frames unmarked. So now that your uplink to the other switch port, all the info will be sent without label, which means the other switch will receive the unmarked data and then place it in the VLAN that is in access mode. Communication should work this way.

    However, I think using a network connection between the switches. The trunk port is used to connect the devices up-to-date with the switches / VLAN together and allow several VLAN tagged fell on it. Looks like you already have several VLANs on the network, and having a network connection will allow you to expand on it. At the same time everything that is on the VLAN native is always through the trunk to the other switch and will stay on the VLAN native.

  • Dell Dimension 2700 c reference

    Hello. I have a Dell Dimension 2700 c desktop computer that won't start.

    This condition is known as a "POST failure".  This could be useful for you again. the search for information.  (POST is the power on self test, which is the first activity managed by the BIOS at startup.)

    This can be caused by a failure of CPU, bad RAM, bad diet or a corrupted BIOS or motherboard.  More rarely a bad Board or by car.  Includes troubleshooting disconnect all non-essential devices, CMOS cleaning, etc.

    The fact that you had to press the power button twice to some recent opportunities to start is an indication the problem may be caused by a bad power supply.  It is difficult to test for it except by substitution.  (We can easily measure voltage on the power supply with a voltmeter, but the real exit, even if tensions are normal, requires expensive special hardware).

  • Dell Nvidia Quadro 600 reference - adapter provided by Dell dongle (display port > DVI) is missing entries

    A puzzle - DP > DVI adapter dongle supplied with my refurb Precision T3500 is absent from the entries on the side of DVI. [Both the bag of dongle and the dongle have labels with "DP/N 023NVR" and "CN-023NVR-48570-22M-039X-A00"]

    The card is Nvidia Quadro 600 Dell w / 1 DVI port and 1 DP.

    I want to go to DP to VGA *... so I need a second adapter grafted on the dongle from Dell.

    Missing entries are above and below the long horizontal (spade) of entry. All my DVI > VGA adapters have 2 tiny over the shovel and 2 pins below.

    The DVI port on the card fits those 4 pins.

    The dongle does not work.

    Can I just use the hot pin (heat a PIN and create holes) approach... or DVI use these 4 connections?

    If the latter, why NOT the adapter address these connections?

    If you have Display Port, then you can get a Display port to VGA.

  • Dell Equallogic PS5000X NIC reference

    Hello

    does anyone have experience of SAN Dell Equallogic PS5000X?  I'll put in place at the moment and it seems there are 2 controllers for all of the 3 NIC (6 in total).  I find I cannot use 3 cards and 1 controller in Active mode and can not find a way to get the two controllers to work in unison and the two assets.

    I wanted to use 4 network cards for iSCSI traffic on a VLAN giving a rate 4 GB of storage but you can use 2 network cards, giving a throughput of 2 GB and 1 for management.

    Is this the only method available for this type of SAN?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Andy

    Hey,.

    The PS is an active / standby. A controller is active. The other will be the shot if the first of all a problem. You have only a configuration to do.

    You configure 3 interfaces in the GUI. eth0, 1, 2.

    The second controller will use this interface when you need.

    You can dedicate a management port, but Dell recommends that you connect all of your ports to the ISCSI network.

    Hope this helps
