Develop a virtual drive on a Dell Perc 6 / i Raid 6?

Hello

I have a PowerEdge T310 with 4 disks hotswap (raid 6), and his running dangerously low on space...

Can I just buy 4 new larger discs and (one by one) replace the 'old'?

If I can expand the virtual drive or I have to create a second virtual disk with the new free space?

Thanks for your help

Hello RobertQuinn,

Here's the way taken in charge to get extra space for your system.

(1) get a backup of your data

(2) remove the table

(3) to re-create the table with the big readers

(4) reinstall OS if have a BONE on the front table

(5) to restore the backup data

Now, it is also a way not taken in CHARGE that you can do it as well & to do this as it is as follows:

(1) get a backup of your data.

(2) rebuild each disc large table.

(3) after all rebuilt Delete array.

(4) after the table has been deleted and then make a change

(5) does NOT init the virtual disk

(6) create new array with Available space

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • "Setup cannot find not all hard disks" on Dell PERC 6/1 RAID controller-supported?

    Hi team - I have a Dell R710 (physical host) PE server that uses the Dell PERC RAID controller 6/1.  Windows Server 2008 x 64 is the host operating system.  VMW Server 2.02 installs and works very well, and I need to install W2K8 x 32 (guest) server configuration, but windows can't see the virtual disk with the same error "Setup cannot find not all hard disks", you get the installation on Windows XP Home edition- but the documentation does not say it's controller RAID is not taken in charge should be... any ideas?

    This is not a problem of the underlying RAID/hardware controller.

    Virtual MACHINE on VMware Server just to see the virtual hardware that you have configured when creating the virtual machine, or through the settings.

    Be sure to select the correct target OS when you create a virtual machine. This configures the disk controller HARD virtual appropriate, which should be supported on the OS installation media.

  • Windows 7 x 64 driver for Dell PERC 320/DC

    Dear Dell,

    I'm migration of Windows XP 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit and I'm looking for drivers for my Dell PERC 320/DC (RAID SCSI PCI - X controller).

    There is no compatible driver on this site, I've tried them all, even the driver XP 64-bit.

    Because I know the controller is based on Adaptecs ASR-2200, I went looking on their website for the drivers, but they were not compatible either. I tried them.

    Adaptec said there is a driver for the embedded ASR-2200 on the DVD - Windows 7/Installation, it's true, but also that, if selected manually is not compatible: when you try to install the driver, it returns "the device cannot start. (Code 10) ».

    I tried updates firmware, such as provided by Adaptec for the ASR-2200, but nothing helps: the type of controller does not match. No firmware updates have been executed. The card still has the original and functional v4.0.0 build 5813 firmware on it.

    The controller has always worked and it still works perfectly when using, for example, windows XP 32-bit, so it is not defective.

    The chipset of computers is also not cause some sort of hardware conflict, then it works very well in both my Precision 690 and T5400 under windows xp 32-bit, BUT NOT in windows 7 64 bit.

    I even contacted Adaptec on this issue, but they told me to contact Dell after trying what I already have.

    I already checked this support site and found these interesting links, but none were of no help:

    http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/1466/p/17771774/17894760.aspx#17894760

    http://support.Dell.com/support/eDOCS/storage/RAID/P41698/320UG/en/index.htm

    So I hope that now a compatible driver indication can be given so that I can proceed with my Dell products.

    Please, help me on this one, it's my last hope.

    Thanks in advance!

    Kind regards

    Since you're under 2008 R2, you might be able to run the Package version of update for Microsoft Windows, but since 2008 R2 is not supported on the T7600, it may not work properly, then you can try the hard drive version.  Since the H800 is not supported on the T7600 at all, it is possible that none of the Dell drivers will work.

  • Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

    Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

    You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

    Appearantly this is related to the latest driver from Dell. I've found a workaround, but it's a bit complicated:

    1 connect a USB stick which is big enough

    2. install Wndows 8.1 on the * USB drive *.

    3. start Windows, and then remove the current driver and install the previous driver for Windows Server 2012.

    4. use the 3rd party software (say that Ghost) to copy the windows from USB drive to VD on Dell PERC H710P controller.

    5. start Windows in the USB drive again and use 'bcdedit' to clean boot stuff

    in any case, I'm LSI 9361-8i, so it won't be a problem for me in the future...

  • PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

    Hi all

    I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

    The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

    My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

    I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

    I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

    Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

    Help!

    Hello.

    Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

  • Dell Power Edge R410 & Dell Perc H700 modular F2WGY

    Hi guys

    Need some advice please, a few weeks ago, we bought a Dell R410. This came with a modular 6/ir Perc. However, when we arrived at the installation of drives we noticed that the controller did not recognize disks larger than 2 TB. It's not good because we need to use 2 x 3 and 2 x 500 GB disks in a RAID 1 Configuration.

    After Googling autour, I came to the conclusion that the card that it came with the "Perc 6/ir' does not support disks larger than 2 TB.

    So, I advanced and bought a new modular a "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" controller which apparently supports disks more great.

    the controller came yesterday so I removed the old Perc 6/ir controller from the slot in the bottom of the map editing and trendy "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" modular at the same place. : Photo of slot, I inserted H700

    H700 card: see picture

    PERC 6/ir map: see picture

    Anyway, once I inserted the card and started, I was presented with the error; "PCIE training error" system HALT.

    Obviously this would not start any further. So I brought the wrong card? im confused at the moment between modular and integrated? the pcie slot is low for integrated only cards?

    I then add the new map on the PCIE Top slot. the system then started and he could see the card. However, it found no readers?

    What exactly I do bad will this card work at all? or I'm out of luck and need another card?

    Cappilio,

    The problem you are experiencing is due to the model of the H700. Map H700 modular version is actually designed for the blade server Poweredge series. The model that you would need is the H700i which is the version that is integrated, designed to go into the white storage controller slot you are talking about. The references are KK67X and CNXVV. The latest model of the H700 is the H700A which is the adapter, it's the model that is necessary for installation in a PCIe location.

    This link explains in detail in the overview H700 - http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/perc-technical-guidebook.pdf

    Let me know if it helps.

  • MD 1220 / PERC H800 - how Raid 1 virtual disks?

    Hello I'm trying to configure Raid 12 1 (two pairs disks) in my Inbox MD 1220 with PERC H800. I started with 12 discs as 12 virtual drives Raid 0 and have recently added 12 additional physical disks for a mirror. I am able to mirror 9 virtual disks but when I select my 9th virtual to the mirror, no drives appear as available. The other 3 drives are there in the 'ready' State, but manage to open or the BIOS configuration utility seem to be able to use them as candidates of mirror.

    Hi Joey

    I just tried OMCleanup and reinstalled 7.4.  He exhibited the same symptoms showing is not the physical drives in the H800.  I can't find a download 7.2 but would be willing to try the previous versions.  A previous version of OM worked with the same controllers / speakers / computer, but I do not remember the version where I improved.  (I am an individual shop and am not very informed when it comes to managing open, its versions and how to install/uninstall).

    I can still kill the DSM SA connection Service by running a foolish occupation for the H800 report.  The report H700 works fine.

  • Reference Dell PERC 6 / i stand?

    I have a Setup Raid 6 on a Dell PERC 6 / i on a Supermicro H8DGU

    running a trial of the esxi 5.5u2

    No matter what I try, I can't do the Dell raid card is displayed in the storage adapters. I don't get any device also appear for passthrough if it means something.

    I have the AMD - V active and I had once made quick initialization (it's now the initialization in the background) I saw him appear on the list as a possible drive to install esxi. That tells me the esxi sees the card and the raid. But once I'm in vsphere nothing appears. Have not found a lot of messages from people not able to pick up this card so I think that the problem is just me. Ideas of things to check?

    But I guess that even with 'Boot Support' is enabled on Perc, is yet to appear in ESXi?

    I just checked your listing of motherboards to Supermicro. It employs riser card for the PCIe slots. Just to rule out it because there are a lot of wiring on the Perc: the card is well adjusted to the port of mounting?

    You can check if ESXi usually sees the device by runiing "lspci - vvv" on the CLI/ssh. It lists the devices seen by the kernel, if Perc is not here I would consider the Perc is defective or some strange PCIe connection problem.

    I have a Perc 6 / I works well for a client on a DELL Poweredge 2950 ex personalised Dell VMWare 5.5 Update 2 but on SAS, disks. But it's all DELL hardware and software side. I assume that the custom DELL VMWare image works only on DELL systems.

    I have found several traces as the Perc 6 / I could run a little crazy if you use disks not certified by DELL. Also the Perc 6 controllers do not seem to be supported more than 2 TB of drives (see for example: disk HARD Support for 2.5 to 3 TB drives and beyond - TechCenter Extras - Wiki - TechCenter Extras - Dell Community)

    So, you can probably run the test to disconnect all readers of your first and remove the Perc firmware RAID configuration and see if ESXi detects and it lists. If it does not help either I ran the test on different materials/mobo.

    Did you make the registry change that I sent you a private message?

    So, I agree with your statement. These are certainly back up files. The question is; What is backup files?

    Microsoft System Restore only deals with backup of critical system files and registration and records in a hidden folder that is not easily editable. In addition, you verified that this is not enabled for this player. So who is excluded.

    Another possibility is that other Windows, such as Windows Backup service, creates these files. Backup Windows treats the user's choice of the files instead of just the files of backup system.

    Try the following steps.

    1. Click Start, type "backup and restore" and press ENTER.
    2. This will bring up the Windows backup window. It seems to be set up, or it asks you to configure for the first time?
    3. If it is flagged by the look on the left side and you should see an option "disable automatic schedule;" turn this option off. The backup will be not automatically, but you can always do it manually on this screen.
    4. Delete the file Moberdan_HP from the HP_Tools partition.
    5. Improperly editing the registry if you used it.
    6. Reboot the laptop and make sure that the problem is resolved.
