  You must clear the foreign configuration.  Go to storage, PERC, Information/Configuration (link at the top of the page), then foreign/Clear in the menu tasks available for the controller.  Then you can assign the drive as a hot spare to start reconstruction.

• PowerEdge 2900 (and 2950) with PERC 5i - extend Raid 5

  Hello

  I have a Dell (PowerEdge 2900) server with a Raid PERC 5i (with BBWC) controller and 4 SATA drives installed (a virtual disk Raid 5, Windows 2008).

  Now I have an extra drive (same capacity, same speed) and installed on the server.

  I tried to expand the existing virtual disk (and the disk group) with the new physical disk drive in the BIOS of the controller and openmanage server administrator (managed node) running on windows.

  But it is not possible to do with this Raid Cntrl?

  Is there a way to do this without loss of data and maintenance of raid 5 redundancy?

  The same procedure I need to do on a PE2950 (PERC5i)

  Thank you and best regards,

  loop11

  What have you tried exactly, and what has happened or what have you seen?  You did not mention anything that leads me to believe that you tried this in the right place :)

  The PERC 5 / I can do without a doubt:

  With the disc, go to OMSA, PERC, case/bottom of basket, storage, physical disks and make sure your drive shows ready.

  If ready, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, virtual disks, select Reconfigure in the drop down menu to your RAID 5, follow the wizard to add the disk.

  If the record shows the foreign, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, Information/Configuration (link at the top of the page), click on foreign/clear in the dropdown menu, then follow the directions above.

• PowerEdge 2850 - Perc 4e/Di - status of the RAID-1 array

  I'm trying to give a sense of the info in OMSA 2.1.0 for a RAID 1 virtual disk on a server Poweredge 2850 + Perc 4e/Di.   Array disk 0:0 died at an unknown point in the past.  Info OMSA before replacing the drive:

  

  

  We have added another 0:0 drive, he rebuilt successfully automatically and this is the current info:

  

  

  

  So the State of the virtual disk RAID-1 is is more "degraded" and yet it is still showing only 0:1 Hitachi disk array and not the new 0:0 Seagate.  How this should be interpreted?  We also have another virtual disk raid 10 on this same server with discs model even who had also a drive down and replace this trained player the new Seagate drive not appearing in the table of Raid-10 list as expected.  the difference was that the Raid array-10, the original disk was displayed in OMSA as 'impossible', while on RAID-1 above, no other player has been listed.

  It should show the other disk.  A few things to try:

  • Refresh the screen VD
  • Closing/re-open OMSA
  • Stop/re-start services OMSA (DSM)
  • Clear the ESM/Hardware log in OMSA
  • Restart the server
  • Updating system firmware (BIOS, ESM, PERC (first pilot), HARD drive)

  All the foregoing may work, but it's probably caused by obsolete OMSA and/or firmware/drivers.

• PowerEdge 860 - PERC RAID controller compatibility

  I would like to add RAID 1 functionality on a PowerEdge 860 server we have at the office.  I was unable to determine what is the Dell Reference number for the RAID controller for that server.

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?   Would the PERC 5 / i raid controller work?  If so, what model number of Dell is compatible.  As the PE860 has long been considered his retirement there is nothing from the Dell Web site.  Searching the Web I found not less of 6 different numbers of parts Dell for a PERC 5 / i controller.

  Thanks in advance if anyone can be useful.

  -Paolo

  Hello Paolo

  PF100

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?

  No, the only supported the internal RAID controller is the SAS 5/IR. The SAS 5/iR has no cache. The PERC 5 / I is not supported on the 860. The only controllers that contain cache are external controllers as the PERC 5/e.

  You might be able to get a PERC 5 / i for work on the server, but we have not posted it to the 860. There is not many versions of the PERC 5 / i, which have been released, so I'm pretty confident that most or all of the part numbers you have found work. Whenever we change something on a part given a new part number. For example, if we decide to start using another antistatic bag to ship the PERC 5 / i in then we would give him a new part number.

  You can see here the valid controllers. The 860 is displayed on the inheritance tab:

• PowerEdge 1900 perc 5 / I controller battery replacement

  I have a replacement battery message in the Application to manage Open Dell for a Dell PowerEdge 1900 Perc 5 / i controller. If I replace the battery I lose the current RAID configuration? Also all the procedures available for the replacement of the battery?

  Thank you

  Jeff Hicks

  Here is a link to the manual, page 92 will give you the steps to replace the battery: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-1900_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf

  Your RAID configuration is stored on the discs. Turn the power off and replace the battery, then start back. Upon request, accept the configuration of readers and move forward.

  Hello Randy,

  Yes, you can add an a PERC6 / i of your T7400 as the PERC card was optional addon for the machine. Please see the link below & see the tech specs where the cottage on PERC 6 / I as optional.

• 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).

• PowerEdge T710 PERC H700 RAID level migration issue

  In my new role, I inherited a number of servers managed until now by someone else.  One of them is a PowerEdge T710 with a Controller PERC H700.  There are two matrices; the other has four 3TO disks in a RAID-5 configuration.

  I don't need the storage space any where near as much as the reliability factor.  Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?  There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have.

  "Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?"

  Yes, BUT you can use this method by ADDING another disk.  RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives.  Insert a disk "to hot', then in the software OpenManage (OMSA), go into storage, PERC, virtual disks and reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 5.

  "There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have."

  Apart from the fact that RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives, even if you want to spend a 4 drive RAID 5 has a 4-drive RAID 6, it could NOT be done.  You can't make a smaller table.  The controller doesn't know - or care - on real data of BONE on the disks (so the amount of 'free space' is not serious) and is not worried about virtual disk space (which would be filled if the total capacity of the discs has been used).

• PowerEdge 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

  OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

  I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

  The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  Thank you

  Hello

  joeyjojo56

  I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

  Thank you

• PowerEdge R310 Perc S300 Raid 10

  I'm trying to set up a PowerEdge R310 with a Perc S300 and 4 x 2 TB drives and raid 10 server r2 2012.

  I set up the raid 10 by pressing the R command during startup.  It implements the fine.  I then put in my dvd openmanage systems management and run the installer.  This is where the problem begins.  with all the 4 - 2 TB drives and raid 10, I should have 4 TB of hard drive space, and it is only showing 2 TB.

  I canceled the installation, rebooted and changed the UEFI BIOS.  the problem here is with the UEFI boot, server does not start on a dvd, instead, it starts directly to flash disk (this is where the BONE is).  It works fine too, but at the beginning of the installation, he said: "we have found all the readers" and it wants me to install the drivers.  I sail to openmanage dvd and can not find the drivers.

  once more I cancel the installation.  I switch back to normal UEFI bios, openmanage dvd start and try and reconfigure raid of openmanage.  everything sets up very well, but in the end of the process when it prepares the files, it gives me an error saying ' deployment failed due to: Boot controller culd details can not be retrieved ", and my only option is to restart.

  I reboot and start all over again.

  My only option so far is to install NO UEFI and don't have 2 TB of hard drive space, but I really want to use all 4 to.

  Help, please!

  The OpenManage DVD has no drivers in the format you need for use during a manual of OS installation - you need to get them from the support.dell.com site (or ftp.dell.com - you need the hard / ZPE file version).

  Have you checked the UEFI boot options? You should be able to boot from a DVD using the UEFI. And what do you mean that you can start only "directly to the flash drive? If you can start on a flashdrive in UEFI mode, then why not install Windows from a flash drive? And what do you mean "this is where the BONE is?

• PowerEdge T110ii using PERC S100 for RAID 10

  I read that I can use S100 to implement a RAID 10. I bought 4 new drives (1 TB). I have installed in the system. They're all here and work. I went to the disk installation and created the virtual and selected drive all THE DRIVES and RAID 10. I then RECORDED. Now, he wants to install the operating system. I click and get to the point where it says WHICH DRIVE DO YOU WANT to INSTALL? It shows all 4 disks. What's wrong? I thought that since it's now a RAID on 1 disk. So I thought that maybe it would do during the installation of the operating system. No, it does not. When I get the OS installed it shows now 4 readers of all readers in a distinct way. What I am doing wrong? What is the size of the disks? Now, I have done this process 3 times and I keep hope for something different.

  Hello

  You create the table of the system and Documentation or System Build and Update Utility disc management tools? The configuration of the berries for the S100 work well with this installation disc.

  Boot from THE RAID controller's BIOS via R CTL and create the matrix RAID it. Then boot from the installation disc and go to the section where you create the RAID array.

  Thank you
