ESXi 4.0 does support PERC S300 on a Dell PoweEdge T310?

I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge T310 with a PERC S300 with 3 500 GB HDs for RAID 5. I tried to install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with customization of Dell, but has been unable to act. Installation failed message appeared indicating the system is not the supported device to write the image.

Can you confirm that Dell ESXi 4.0 or 4.0 with 1 update supports PERC S300? Do I have to return the server, get a PERC 6i controller? Thank you.

A piece of information of Dell said that it is a software RAID device and therefore not supported RAID in any version of ESXi. You can use as only 3 separate disks. I try to disable the features of RAID if possible and see what happens. If the RAID is a requirement, it seems that you must upgrade to a PERC 5 or 6.

  • SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

    We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

    Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

    is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

    You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

    In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

  • 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?

  • PERC S300 and R2 2012

    Hi, I saw some documents last year which says that Dell does not intend to create a driver for use with the Perc S300 and R2 for Windows Server 2012. This situation is even position? If Yes, what is the best option for my brand new PowerEdge R210 II? I would rather use hardware RAID than software RAID on what happens to be a domain controller. The server has two installation disks in a RAID 1 array. Any help, suggestions and advice are welcome. Thank you!

  • PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

    PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

    3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

    RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

    All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

    The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

    Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

    Is this a software problem? Firmware?

    Suggestions of help appreciated!

    Best,

    James

    Hello James

    I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

    If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

    Thank you

  • Driver problem: Windows Server 2008 R2 on server T110 II with PERC S300 (RAID10)

    I have the Dell PowerEdge T110 II server with PERC S300 RAID card.  I installed 4 hard drives & them set on RAID10 in initial configuration.  The card mother recognizes the PCI-E card, which in turn recognizes readers.

    I pop in the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD and I start from DVD, but when I get to the part where I have to choose a file location, it appears that he is not a player available.  There is another option to add a driver.  Then I went on the site ( http://tinyurl.com/PercS300driver) downloaded appropriate driver, added to USB & when I get to this screen, I'm trying to add the driver.  However, he said "there is no signed in this folder drivers."

    Does anyone know what I might be missing?

    You are using the wrong driver.  The one you linked to says it's for Server 2008 x 86.  As 2008 R2 64-bit only, there is no way it will work.  Use this driver for 2008 R2 (you must change the drop down menu on site driver downloads / to the correct operating system):

    www.dell.com/.../DriverDetails

    Be sure to run first to extract it, and then put the contents extracted on your CD/DVD/USB for use with the link to load a driver.

  • The PERC S300 controller replacement

    I want to upgrade a server PowerEdge R310 Windows Server 2008 R2 to R2 2012. Unfortunately the PERC S300 is not supported and I could not find the necessary drivers.

    I found that PERC H700 has the correct drivers and is compatible with the R310, can anyone confirm that please?

    Are there cheaper alternatives? Otherwise, I think I have to disconnect the PERC controller and connect the drives to the internal SATA ports, but then I have 4 independent drives with no RAID either because the PERC S100 embedded is not as well supported... (is there a SW raid solution?)

    Thank you

    The H700 is a controller that is supported on the R310, but you must do a clean install or backup/restore.

    The H310 is also supported by the R310.  It is a hardware RAID controller low end and would also require a reinstall/restore.

    The S100 can handle a direct migration of the S300 disc, but when you read, it is not supported in 2012 either.

    You can move the disks to the SATA onboard and get rid of the S300, but there was also a clean installation/restore.  If you did the onboard SATA (in AHCI/no RAID), there was no RAID managed by the system, but you can configure RAID under Windows, which would provide at least some redundancy.  Performance is not worse than the S series controllers.

    My advice?  Never skimp on storage, no matter what it is used for.  Always get the top of the page (H7x0) controller when you configure a server.

  • esx host does support RAID ATA?

    hardware requirements host ESX said, "RAID adapters supported are HP Smart Array, Dell's Perc and IBM ServeRAID controllers"

    Does include ATA RAID? If it supports RAID ATA, I use 2 disks or more to in my local machine to an ATA RAID supported by esx host storage. It work?

    Thank you.

    It does not support ATA controllers I know.

    Chrome still does support OSX 10.9.5?

    According to the page of the Google Chrome browser, this version of Chrome is said

    in support of Mac OS X to present 10.11.5 10.9.5. Chrome - the Google browser

    However, the questions and problems that Chrome continues to show Mac users,

    indicate that it is not a wise choice for Macs.  Users have found Chrome to be

    a resource eater, which affects the performance of OS X.

    We'll find a better browser to Mozilla Firefox; also Safari is always supported by

  • HP J6450 really does support WPA Wireless encryption?

    I just bought a new J6450 yesterday, and when I tried to install it as a wireless network my SSID does not appear (even if the PC just next to the printer is connected to my network).  Even when you enter the SSID manually the installation process does not recognize it. There are other SSID in the region that appear during the installation.  I confirmed that my router is broadcasting and the printer was 4 feet from the router, so I know that is not due to the intensity of the signal.

    Details of router - NetGear WPN824v3, configured for either 802. 11B or 802.11 g (auto mode), WPA encryption

    The only thing I noticed during my research it tonight is the SSID that was listed when installing 2 are encrypted and most of the HP support info and documentation related to the wireless configuration seems to refer essentially to WEP.  If the HP J6450 really does support the WPA encryption, and if so, does anyone have ideas for troubleshooting why it does not recognize my router?

    Thank you.

    Connection to the router under the admin user, then "Wireless settings" page is a Mode setting and the default value is "Auto 108 Mbps.  Using the arrow in the drop-down menu, change to "b and g" then set the channel to 'Auto' and save the configuration changes.

  • Satellite M60-135 does support C - salt?

    TEAC DVD player no longer works.
    So I would like to replace it.
    Think I fell on the drive Pioneer DVR-K16L of alternatives.

    But it is obviously set to "cable select".
    My M60-135 does support this, or do I have to choose another drive?

    Any suggestions welcome!

    THX!

    Hello

    These information are not known to me, and especially if you want to buy a car for you laptop, you must first call the Toshiba authorized service provider for more information on compatible players.

    There is also another possibility to find out what the laptop supports parameters.
    I use Nero burning rom and this application supports a diagnosis function. He entered the information about the installed CD/DVD drive.
    After this diagnostic procedure, you need to know more details about the installed drive and you must buy the player that supports the same specifications

    Hello

    I know doesn´t SDHC support. But I Don t know for sure, you must try it for yourself.
    If it doesn't work then, you need to use an external drive that compatible to SDHC SD card standard is fairly new.

  • Satellite L500 does support VMX?

    Hi friends,

    I am using Toshiba L500 series, I installed the 64-bit version of Centos 5.3 in my computer successfully, but I want to install another version of centos5.x in the Virtual Machine box, but it was not installed, in the middle of the installation of the Centos 5.x 32 bit it was struck, then please say one, it is very important to me...

    Thanks and greetings

    > Toshiba does support VMX?
    Maybe it sounds silly now but Toshiba supports own products only. With other words Toshiba must offer support for hardware and software pre-installed.

    If you use a third party software and there is a problem, that you should contact the first software company to see what they say on this subject.
    Toshiba has nothing to do with Centos 5.3 and VM box. You can call the hotline of Toshiba and ask, but I'm 100% sure that you will get the same answer.
