• ESXi 4 on Dell T410 Xeon E5504

  Hello:

  I ve installed VMWARE ESXi on a Dell T410 server. It has 1 quad core Intel Xeon Processor (e5504) but ESXi recognizes only the 2 hearts. I can only use two hearts in the virtual machine.

  

  I have a free license. Maybe a problem with the license? Could someone help me solve the problem?

  Thank you!

  I saw a setting in the BIOS to disable two of the kernel on a quad core processor, you can verify that?

• help ESXi on Dell R610 always locked mode!

  Hello

  I have a really weird question with 2 Dell r610 servers. They were supposed to come with esxi on a sd card. I tried to boot from the sd card, but nothing happened. So basically I downloaed the demo version of ESXi (not dell) that I waited on the licenses. I installed it on top of installing esxi dell and when I boot it is in lockeddown grayed out with the setting mode. I reinstalled and it makes no difference.

  Am I missing something? I have no vcenter server for the moment that the purpose was to use a virtual machine. Is there a parameter causing this or something BIOS dell?

  its really weird!

  Thanks much for any help. I have to come back tomorrow with a response!

  > BTW there is NO such thing as a DELL of ESX version. This just means that there are additional support tools to install, but you can install these tools that AFTER ESX is installed.

  RParker you are, of course, technically correct.  The image of ESXi available on the Dell support site is just ESXi with the already installed Dell CIM provider.  However, referring to him as the 'Dell' Version is just an indication that it has been downloaded from and customized by Dell (with the CIM provider).  What makes the "Dell" version because they are offering him, and you are unlikely to find available for download by, say, HP.

• Server Dell r610 with PERC 6 / i controller

  Hello

  M using dell r610, which is configured with PERC6 / i controller, problem is I want to know when I configured the RAID-0 and remove my disk only, fails to get the boot, how to solve this problem?

  Once again, I want to know:

  1. with the raid configuration are we able to expand the size of the disk (from 2 TB to 3 TB) without lossing data

  2 are we able to use this server with No.-raid because raid will be risky in the case of a disk failure and won't lose data...?

  ((1-Yes, you can, but ONLY if 1) your system is currently in UEFI boot mode and 2) you are not currently using a RAID 10 (or have several bays on the disks).

  2 n ° on PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD. RAID is ONLY risky if the USER chooses a risky RAID level (RAID 0 should be used for specific reasons by experienced professionals).

  RAID 0 has NO fault tolerance.

• Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 6.0.3 and ESXi 4

  I try to install Dell OpenManage Server Administrator version 6.0.3. I managed to install this sub ESXi 3.5 update 4. It says in the instructions activate OEM CIM providers by setting Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled to 1. Misc.CimOemProvidersEnabled is supposed to be located under various advanced however, ESXi 4 is not. Anyone know where the moved the option or y at - it a new way to activate this feature with ESXi 4?

  You do not install agents on ESXi directly, they will come in the injected code of VMware/Dell as a variant of ESXi.  Indeed they are not installable on ESXi end-user.  HP already has similar variant for ESXi 3.5.  But to my knowledge, no hardware vendor has ESXi 4 variants yet out.

• iDRAC on Dell R610 problem

  Hello

  I just got a new Dell R610 and I tried to configure the iDRAC on her card. I have it configured on interfaces of multiple T300 Dell and the ILO on the different models of HP servers successfully. But for some reason, I'm going to have serious problems with it.

  I think he got an iDRAC Express card as there is no extra ethernet port on the server, just the standard 4 integrated NETWORK interface the iDRAC BIOS are version 1.70 I understand is the last.

  In the screen configuration (Ctrl + E) iDRAC, iDRAC and IPMI over LAN are enabled. Selection of NIC is set to shared so for active LOM, it reports 'No. Active LOM'. VLANs are disabled, iDRAC Express stand them? -Once it works I would like to enable it if possible.

  Only NIC1 (eth0) is connected to the switch. I tried configuring it with DHCP, but he never does an address even if the operating system gets a.

  To remove the switch / VLAN even tried to connect NIC1 directly on an other server tcpdump and running with iDRAC configured with a static IP (the default value of 192.168.0.120). Did not get a thing of it. I could see the arp requests going out but not responses to iDRAC.

  So, how do you get the iDRAC to work?

  Thank you.

  Today technician Dell replaced our motherboard and this fixed a problem with the DRAC.

  New motherboard uses older versions of BIOS and DRAC BIOS main:

  principal: was 3.0.0, now for 2.0.11
  DRAC: was 1.70.21, now 1.41.13

  DRAC works now, and, Yes, she has the web interface.

  PS unfortunately, but this will not be fixed another issue we have with H200 controller or it's linux driver mpt2sas: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/777441 (ClxAdmin, if you use Linux on that server, what distribution of linux/version you are using?)

• Replacement Dell R610 motherboard model number

  As I have no further with the tension E1000 Failsafe error. Contact technical support. The next thing to do I think is to replace the motherboard of Dell R610. Looking on eBay there are a number of different model / serial numbers are mentioned Eg: F0XJ6, 3YWXK, XDN97, 0NCY41 08GXHX and others. What is the motherboard model number / series should I actually use for replacement in this Dell R610, that has this built-in safety voltage error? Are there any other serial numbers, that depends on?

  (Maybe I'm not looking for the right place, but even when I enter serial number in the website I can't find the serial number of the motherboard...) Even less if I should get the same motherboard once again, or maybe a 'best'?)

  Thank you!

  Jason

  Sysjas,

  The Svc tag you sent, the motherboard installed on the server currently is the XDN97.

  Sorry for the delay, I'm not in until 6:30 am CST.

  I hope this helps.

• 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:
  Dell PowerEdge R820 - RAID 5
  Interface NETWORK Broadcom 1 GB card

  Xeon processors (w / 8 cores)
  512 GB RDIMMS

  I installed VMWare ESXi 4 on a new Dell R710 server with integrated Broadcom 4 Port NETWORK interface and a network card additional Intel 4 Port. In the Vsphere Client now I only see the NIC. Broadcom onboard

  

  The additional INTEL Nic does not appear upward.  But I can see VMWare ESXi 4 acknowledged the Intel NIC in Advanced Settings Configuration VMDirectPath.

• Looking to replace a RAID in older (UCS-61) with a new (UCP-51) Perc 5i controller on a PowerEdge r610 server...

  Hello world

  I'm looking to get RAID 5 in an old R610 capabilities we have laying around. The new controller seems to be compatible with the server and he knows well. Whenever I start the server with the new Perc 5i card it gives me:

  "Invalid pcie card found in the internal storage location.

  System stopped! »

  Is there a step in this process I am missing? This is my first time doing something like this and get beat. If I put the old controller to back in or no controller at all, it starts without a problem. I've updated the BIOS BIOS server Dell R610 version 6.4.0.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  The PERC 5 is not supported on the R610.  You need the PERC 6 / i.  The PERC 5 might work, but you cannot use it in the location of storage dedicated; you will need to try another location PCIe.

• Reference Dell r610 slow start

  Hi I have a Dell r610 but it takes a few seconds at startup I had 48 GB of ram, I just checked that everything is ok regarding the ram, hard drives, my bios is version 2.0.13 What can do to optimize it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I wouldn't recommend trying to speed up the process of startup/POST. The more material you have in the slowest server, it will be. You can speed it up the disabling features such as memory controls, inventory (CSIOR) or the controller of the lifecycle altogether. You can also disable firmware for some hardware interfaces.

• The Dell R710 server upgrade to R2 2012 Windows

  Question for the forum:

  I have a Dell R710 server.  There a PERC 6 / i RAID card in there.  There are discs 5 x 2 TB on the PERC 6 / I configured in RAID-5 right now with the 6th disc as a 480 GB SSD.   I currently own WINDOWS 2012 R2 installed.   Windows 2012 sees the TB 5 x 2 as a 7.27 TB HDD and the 480 GB SSD as a second hard drive.

  I heard the Windows 2012 R2 storage solution is best.  I want to convert the TB 5 x 2 hard drives just so R2 2012 Windows can control it.  I have the following questions:

  1. What do I have to go in PERC 6 / I controller and remove the RAID 5 and create a virtual disk for each 2 TB as a RAID-0 disk drive so that Windows can see each as separate hard drive?

  2. each of the 2 TB is a SATA II drive.  PERC 6 / I can only support up to 2 TB to 3 Gbps.  What is the best way to do it?  Can I upgrade to SATA III drives or 6 Gbps?  This server which will support at all?  I have

  3. If I install a SATA III controller in the PCIe slot, how can I plug SATA III drives to the card.  All drives are connected to the server to forward now.

  4 If a disk fails, Dell R710 will still flash light orange on the forehead to show what defective hard drives?  People still hot to swap the drive?

  5. Windows 2012 R2 will be able to tell what defective hard drives?  With 5 x 2 to for the storage and 480 GB put in place in the SSD for tiered storage, which is the best way to configure it for performance?  Simple volume or mirror?  How many drives can fail until Windows cannot recover from the failure?

  Please advise on the best way to convert more software raid WINDOWS 2012 R2.  Thanks for the help in advance!

  1. This is the only way to make available to Windows as separate disks, as the PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD.

  2. the PERC 6 supports a maximum drive size of 2 TB. The material is limited to 3 Gbps. You can use 6 GB/s drives, but they will operate as discs 3 Gbps.

  3. you will need to connect a cable from the backplane to the new controller, instead of the 6 PERC. Backplane may not support 6 GB/s speed, if you plug a controller 6Gbps 6Gbps drives and they bind upward to 3 Gbps, that is why.

  4. Yes.

  5. Yes. How can fail depends on how you have set it up and how much data is there.

• Installation of the H700 controller in dell R610

  I asked this question on serverfault.com but so far do not have a definitive answer.

  We just put a refurbished dell R610 2 X 6 Core X 5650, 96 G Ram, Raid SAS 6ir controller, 2 X Fujitsu MBC2073RC 2.5 15 K 73 GB SAS Hard Drive. We will also install additional disks:

  • 2 x Intel 730 480 GB 2.5-inch SSD SSDSC2BP480G4R5
  • 2 x Samsung SpinPoint ST2000LM003 2 TB 2.5 Momentus "

  I also separately brought a controller Raid H700 renovated to use rather than the SAS 6ir map. This is the integrated H700 and looks like this:

  How to install this? I have read several books looking for instructions explicit (Page 111 of the operating instructions R610 is not quite clear to me...) For example should I unscrew the cache-pci slot metal on the left side of this map and then directly replace the Board SAS6ir "integrated"? Or go to this card in a separate pcie slot? (I don't know the cables will reach and I'm not sure the cable management) Does anyone have pictures of an installed H700 and PERC, installed in a R610 battery?

  Thank you!

  Jason

  sysjas

  is the only difference between the version of the built-in adapter and the internal version of the pcie metal plate?

  No, the main difference between the two integrated and adapter's firmware. They are designed to work in the type of the specified location. The integrated storage location is a PCIe location, but it works the same as a normal PCIe location.
