• Flash 8 GB of PowerEdge 2950 memory cards work?

  Hi I want to improve my poweredge 2950 (I) memory and I have 2 sticks of fbd DIMM, 8 GB at 667 mhz each. There in all 16 Gb, but I m not sure if he's going to work because, back in the day, there were 4 GB sticks support, perhaps because 8 GB sticks did not exist. The questions are, can this work, does not work at all, to recognize the part of memory. ?

  Thank you

  Hi guys just to say what it was. My 2 8 GB sticks well and mixed with the other 6 of 1 GB. Now I have 22 GB correctly recognized by my 2950 I server.

  Thank you.

• PowerEdge 2950 HDD Predictive Failure

  Hi Experts

  We have PowerEdge 2950 with 5 RAID PERC 6 / i integrated. It has 3 hard drives SAS and is to show the Predictive Failure HARD drive for two SAS drives and each HARD drive is 400 GB. The same size disk is not available now and the seller asks us to use 450 GB HARD drive. Is it possible or we should insist on getting 400 GB SAS HARD drive?

  Concerning

  It will work, but there are some risks involved.  Here is a good post on spiceworks where few people are talking about possible problems.

• Re: Satellite A200-1ae - will it work with HDD SATA II?

  Hello

  I am a satisfied user of the laptop for a few years, but the HARD drive is used, so I would like to replace it with a new one. I thought Samsung SpinPoint 320GB 2.5 "HM321HI SATA3.0GB and I was wandering will it work with my satellite.
  Or that, HDD SATA2 interface will work (and I'm thinking about something new and low-cost eventually).

  Anyone tried this?

  Hello

  Satellite A200 supports the SATA HDD controller.
  SATA II is downwards compatible (would work with SATA I as well) you can also use the 2.5 SATA II HARD drive.

• PowerEdge 2950-second map PERC to connect to PowerVault 220 s

  Hello

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >) and PowerVault 220 s unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >).
  I would like to know is possible to connect this PowerVault 220 s 2950? I'm going to put this 2950 Windows Server 2012.

  Initially, this PE2950 came not with additional PERC card. If I want to add in the additional PERC card to connect to PV220s, it is possible to do?

  Hello, jindrax.

  So, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will get difficult. The PV220s works with a PERC 3 or PERC, which is NOT validated on the PE2950 4. The PE2950 is all the time, we started to switch to SAS, if I remember correctly. So it will be difficult at best to find a card to connect the PV220s.

  Aside from that, using the PV220s with Windows 2012 isn't a good idea either. While windows may have a driver randomly for him, it will not match the firmware and will act "funky" to say the least.

  In this case, honestly you'd be best suited for a large USB drive (4to) and be in a much better position to try to mesh the old technology of today.

• PowerEdge 2950 iii E1410 CPU IERR

  I just bought the parts for my new old dell poweredge 2950 I put the e5440s dual xeon inside and it gives me a cpu mismatch so I take cpu 1 and it starts very well (I also put cpu 1 in any other slot and it worked). When I just loaded CPU 1 that he would give me e1410 IERR I looked at the decision-making and 4 pins were bent moderately. If the bent PIN will cause this error.

  Hello.

  Yes, misaligned pins can cause error internal processing, e1410 IERR due to a communication channel dropped because the processor is not firmly on hold.

• HARD disk for maximum support PowerEdge 2950

  Greetings,

  I have server PowerEdge 2950 with Six internal hard drive bays. How many maximum capacity of hard drive taken in charge in one Bay?

  Thanks for the reply and best regards.

  If you use a PERC 5/6, 2 TB is the maximum size of physical disks - this is a hardware limitation, and there is no way to use anything larger than 2 TB.

  If you use a SAS 5/6 in RAID mode, 2 TB is the maximum - it is a limitation of its limitation of RAID. I would never do that, but some said that grows to 2 TB will work on the SAS 5/6 in NON RAID (left unconfigured) mode.

• PowerEdge 2950. Need advice to add 1 TB SATA disk.

  This is my first post.

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5 / i.  The firmware version is 5.2.2 - 0072.   Configuring PERC controller 0 shows.   0 to 2 physical disks in SAS controller.  2 physical disks are used to create a virtual drive.  The virtual drive is used as the C: drive.  Readers of the excellent work.

  

  I want to add a 1 TB SATA drive which will act as a stand alone D: drive.  I had planned to add the SATA controller drive 1, but when I run the PERC configuration utility, I don't see a setting 1.

  What should I do to add a 1 TB SATA drive?

  

  Looks very good.

• VMware ESXi 4 on Dell PowerEdge 2950 CDROM missing in virtual machines

  Hi all

  I installed VMware 4.0 on my Dell PowerEdge 2950, and everything moved very well. I had the ISO image from the support site on the website of VMware and Dell. I installed both with the same problem, once installed, the CD-ROM will not be displayed in any virtual machine, I create.

  I changed the boot parameters, the order of the boot, played with the BIOS settings, and no matter what I do, when I start the virtual machine and open a console window and try to connect on the CDROM, a message displays saying that the device is disconnected.

  I have reinstalled Windows on the box, went to the site of support of Dell and applied each update BIOS patch and firmware of the box. Including the one for the TEAC CDROM, which is in my box.

  Anyone had this problem before? If so, how should I do? I really need this works quickly. Without a CDROM, I can't install software such as SQL Server and others.

  Kind regards

  Michael Lange

  I assume that you have added a CDROm for virtual machines?

  You then specify "logged in/connected to the power on" in the settings of VM page? (I know it's usually obvious.. .but I did it very mistaken once this week.. .accidentally added the CDROM to the VM wrong.)

  What OS your virtual machine is running and you have the installed VMTools?

  If issuing a VMtools install on a windows host, it works, then the Cd drive works as ESX uses the virtual CD Rom to install the tools.

• II of the PowerEdge 2950 not allowing for space HARD to be accessible

  Nice day

  I have an old server PowerEdge 2950 II (card: 2x3.0 Ghz Xeon, 24 MB Mem 1 TB SATA HDD, 1 Tb SATA HDD, 2 TB SATA HDD - Server data center in 2012).

  The question I have is that I recently updated the operating system from 2008 to 2012 DC, then installed an extra drive (2 TB).  I run RAID 0, and the system is only show a MAXIMUM of space disk HARD 1.98 TB, with the other Tb 0.02 table allocated to file systems.  RAID Perc 5i controller has all the three marked as online HARD drives.  BUT I can not use the additional 2 tablespoons in the table.  I was going to buy and install a 2nd HARD drive of 2 to SATA and RAID 1 go; but, if I can't fix this storage space not represented in the storage Bay I can't justify the purchase.  If anyone can help I would be grateful.

  So, you have three disks - 1 TB, 1 TB, 2 TB - during a RAID 0, and you expect to see 4 TB of space?  If so, see my notes above.  Each virtual disk (RAID array) is presented to the operating system as a separate 'disc'.  Windows cannot use a more 2 TB drive unless it has been converted to GPT.  First of all, the conversion to TPG is data destructive, so you will need to do a backup/restore.  Secondly, convert your boot 'disc' TPG will not cause it to start on a 2950 because it only supports UEFI, which is necessary to start from a GPT disk.

  Bottom line?  You need to rethink your configuration on this machine.  You could make two 1 TB disks in a 1 TB RAID 1 for the OS (in MBR and bootable on a 2950), and then you could add 2 TB RAID 1 for data disks.  2 TB, it would be unnecessary to convert to GPT, but if you have added more than 2 TB of space, you would then convert that TPG and use as many TB for the data that you can hold in the system.

  In addition, you realize how dangerous running a RAID 0 is, right?

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• PowerEdge 2950 III w / Server2008 64 bit: cannot activate TOE

  I recently purchased a PowerEdge 2950 III with standard options, which includes a double NetXtreme II Broadcom nic with TOE capabilities. Due to some communication problems, it was delivered without active TOE and the TOE installed key. I installed Windows Server 2008 64 bit on it.

  After some time Dell send me a TOE key, and I off the server and installed it.

  In the BIOS, it now says "able TOE." In the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator it said ' able TOE: available 'and' enable TOE: 'Yes. But in the Broadcom Control Suite to unload his abilities he doesn't list that the LSO and CO, PINCH.

  I have tried several things:

  -J' ran "netsh interface tcp > set global chimney = on" to activate TOE

  -disabled the Windows Firewall

  -remove the Broadcom drivers and reinstall them (the more recent on the Dell site)

  -installed the SNMP functionality

  But I can't seem to make it work.

  TOE benefits to the whole Server 2008? If so, what am I doing wrong?

  
  

• DELL PowerEdge 2950 PERC 5 / i

  Dear members,

  I have server Dell PowerEdge 2950, I need to install Windows 2003 Standard Edition and save it as a file server for my network.

  So I bought 2 TB SATA WD HDD, I would like to create RAID 1.

  As a trial, I connected two 145 GB SAS and a 2 TB SATA Bay and switch ON create RAID1.

  Please guide me how to create RAID 1 using PERC 5 / i utility of configuration?

  My version 5 PERC / i integrated 5.0.2.0003.

  Thank you

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID array.

• Dell PowerEdge 2950 Backplane - error message: SAS B missing cable. Misconfigured?

  We have a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2950 s, they came with a built-in SAS Perc5i RAID controller.

  Unfortunately the Perc5i is a kind of fake raid 10 (a span of mirrors) rather than a bunch of mirrors so we had to get some raid cards appropriate instead.

  So now the perc5i on board is disconnected from the bottom of basket and disabled in bios, and we have our new raid card installed and connected to the bottom of basket - all is well and they work well.

  However when the machines bios startup stops and we get an error message saying the following:

  «SAS B cable missing /.» Misconfigured.

  Turn the system power off and connected properly. Details for the wiring of storage system information label and manual Ownders hardware.

  Press F1 to continue, F2 to run the configuration utility.

  How can we stop this message? This is obviously completely false; our new SAS cards are connected to the bottom of the basket and works very well. I don't see anywhere to disable this message in the bios or the 5 BMC Management utility.

  BIOS version is 2.2.6 (last)

  BMC firmware is 1.97 (last)

  Backplane firmware is 1.05 (last)

  Help, please!
