• Change a failing drive - RAID Dell Poweredge H310 - RAID 1

  Hi guys,.

  Thank you for everything that support you in these forums. I'm new here.

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server on my new place of work. It is Dell Poweredge H310 RAID controller on it. It is configured in RAID-1, with 2 discs.

  Now my question is: in the event that one of the drives breaks down:

  1 - I should insert the new drive into the slot where the failed disk has been inserted, or in the following location?

  2 - will be the new drive automatically "copied" with the healthy disk data or it will need some work?

  I read the manual and chapter 'Replacement year Online physical disk', says the following, but I don't know the answer to these questions:

  1. in the management of virtual disks window, select Virtual Disk # and press the arrow key down until the physical disks is highlighted.

  2. press arrow right key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk.

  3. press the down arrow and select the desired physical disk that you want to replace. Press to view the list of operations permitted on the disc.

  4. Select Replace and then start.

  5. tap on the down arrow to select a replacement disk and then press the SPACEBAR to select the disk.

  6. click OK to start the replacement.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Videoclocknet,

  You must remove the failed disk and replace it with another similar drive on the same niche. When you choose the following location, be sure to follow the steps in the virtual disk management screen (VD) as you have indicated.

  The failed drive will be replaced and the replacement drive will be one on the following location. Either way is perfectly fine. You can then monitor status of the VD and the reconstruction process using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

  2 disks configured in RAID 1 act as a reflection of the other. Failure of 1 drive ensures that the same data are available on the other. When you replace the failed disk, the rebuilding process begins, and the same data gets automatically copied.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• HP Envy 17 2002TX - impossible to repartition the HDD - RAID 0 question?

  I deleted the partitions installed at the factory (after creating factory restore discs) and tried to load a new copy of Windows 7 64 bit from a disc. In what concerns the creation of two primary partitions, but Windows is unable to load or recognize the HARD drive. It's supposed to be 2 x 1 TB 5400 RPM. My scores of deletion made me a single HDD of about 1.8 TB. Why don't the Windows OS, I tried to do more that create the 2 leave I have want to (must have 100 MB set aside for the system) and not load all of the files to begin with? I tried in vain 64 bit versions of Windows 7 Ultimate and Home Premium.

  PS, I presume that this can be a problem: 2 TB dual RAID 0 hard drive. I think this would be the mirror, 2 x 1 TB drives. Can I make a BONE & we data? How can I go about it? Thank you.

  Thank you.

• PE T110 RAID Expansion question

  I have a PowerEdge T110.  I have two drives configured as RAID 1.  I swapped the old two drives of 250 GB with 1 TB drives.  I can't understand how I push the Ramdisk to make use of the larger capacity.  The physical disks show the amount of space available, but I'm not finding where to extend the virtual?  I read the documents, and he referred to ECAS (Online Capacity Expansion).  I don't see this tool anywhere. Am I missing/version of the software, etc..

  T110 OS - WIndows 2008R2 (pretty up to date on patches)

  PERC S100 - 1.0.1 - 0021 StarPort driver driver Version - 6.1.7.601/17514

  Reference Management Server Administrator - 6.4.0 Dell

  I looked in the management console of the RAID during the startup (Ctrl + R) and OMSA... nothing to increase the size.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  Chris

  Hello Chris

  Expansion of capacity has been added in OMSA 7.0 if I remember correctly. You must remove OMSA and reinstall a newer version. When you have a version of the OMSA which supports the capacity expansion then when you select reconfigure the disk virtual it opens the wizard of reconfiguration. If space is available on all drives in the array, you will have a button at the bottom right to expand your capacity.

  Thank you

• Impossible to update firmware H310

  As the title says, I can't update my card H310 raid with this firmware:

  Reference Dell PERC H310 Adapter Firmware version 20.13.2 - 0006

  If im using it says my system is not supported for windows and Linux, he just spits it;

  0

  and then nothing happens.

  I tried several different computers with attached disks and not attached to the controller.

  In fact I just managed to update my latest firmware A10 H310 card using this guide which has a download link to all the necessary files in a convenient zip. :)

  Edit: darn it looks like I'm not allowed to post links, so just do a google for 'come back your Perc H310 to its firmware Dell' and you can find good WordPress blog.

• Sandy Bridge and PCI channels/performance question

  I was doing emergency surgery on my old HP and I remembered that I have a couple of old graphics cards lying around. And that made me think of my collection in constant expansion of hard drives and never less in less free time, backups, and Sandy Bridge platform limited channels PCI and their (real? theoretical?) effect on performance with cards cards additional specifically RAID. If I'm covering old ground, let me know.

  As I understand, there is not much to be gained by installing an old ATI HD2400 Pro or similar in a new computer, what I'm really wondering is - after installing the card and a third running monitor on it - of the main graphics card and related parts of my system would suffer a slowdown similar to what might be expected if a RAID card is installed.

  (And no, I don't mean to revive the heated discussions of Sandy Bridge / X 58.) Is it you like someone ' one, anyone - let them be above!)

  I am just wondering if it might be a worthwhile project to compare benchmarks with and without a second graphics card installed and if someone thinks it would be a logical way to see no effect on the allocation of 570's PCI channels alone, without the complication of a real external RAID array question (and the enormous benefits it would probably).

• Can the server PowerEdge T110 II add a network card?

  Hello

  I need an additional NETWORK card for my T110II but it does not detect a TP-LINK TG-3468 PCI-express card.

  Start the server, but I do not see the screen of boot rom (bios Integrated NIC) and Windows do not detect the new device.
  The T110II do not recognize a card RAID SATA AS-Rock with boot rom too.

  I think that the problem comes from the boot of these PCI-e cards rom. Is there a solution to detect these cards?
  Or you know a network card compatible cheap gigabit?

  I already asked my country DELL support, and I have no answer.

  Thank you

  Sorry for the questions in the NETWORK card getting to work.  The system will certainly take additional network cards, the T110 II 4 PCIe slots:

  Two x 8 slots (one with x 16 connectors)

  One x 4 slot (with x 8 connector)

  A x 1 slot

  The integrated port is the Broadcom® BCM5722 gigabit Ethernet card.  When it comes with Dell servers and 3rd-party cards, questions may arise if you have a network adapter that is certified to work with the device.  Dell cannot support the cards that are valid and tested within the server.

  A very common that we see added to the system is the Broadcom 5709, NIC PCIE4 Dragonfly.  The card is popular because it can be associated with the on-board.

  About your SATA RAID card, questions are the same it regarding uncertified maps.

  Lastely, I would make sure you have cards in cracks, here is the link to the manual, System 68 page has details about the locations specific PCIe priority and system information

• Create 1 large or 2 small ramdisks?

  I have a Dell R420 with a PERC H310 RAID controller.  This controller allows me to create a virtual disk using all available space in the RAID 5 array or it allows you to build two virtual disks that divide the space of matrix RAID 5.

  If I create a virtual drive and install Windows 2008, this represents for the operating system as a physical drive.  I could then use the operating system to partition the space a drive C and a d drive (both on the same 'physical' disk).

  If I create two virtual disks and install Windows 2008, this represents for the operating system as two physical disks.  I could put the C drive on the first 'physical' disk and drive D on the second disc of the "physical".

  One of these options are better than other performance or another perspective, or they are substantially the same?

  Herbhoakes,

  From the performance point of view the best option is not to divide the virtual drives at the controller level, but instead create 2 tables, a 2 disk raid 1 for the OS to use, and then create a raid 5 with the rest of the readers. It's all depends on how much you have readers. Once this is done you can place several PARTITIONS on the virtual disk. So you have intact berries with several partitions on it, instead of a virtual drive from split with individual partitions on this subject. With splitting the table at the level of the controller also risk that you have data loss.

  If you only have the Raid 5 then you can partition it in different operating system disks, but it is not recommended to divide the regulator.

• iDRAC 6 Enterprise does not display storage

  Hello

  We have a Dell PowerEdge R710 with iDRAC 6 Enterprise.

  When I open the iDRAC web interface, there is no information nor any status of the Perc H310 RAID controller.

  I do not see the physical disks, no virtual disk, I've looked everywhere and Miss every reference to storage.

  I have used other maps of iDRAC and the RAID controller is always present.

  just put iDRAC to update to the latest firmware, already rebooted server.

  Any idea?

  Intercomsolutions,

  In fact, you can use OMSA on ESXi, now, you will not be able to properly monitor the computer virtual is with her, but you can control the host. If you follow this link, it will take you to an ad I did previously, which includes a ride on the installation and execution OMSA in ESXi.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Qosmio G20: Question on the status of RAID

  Small question. I want to determine if the RAID is completely disabled on my G20 (2 x 100 GB hard drives).

  When I reinstalled the operating system from the recovery disks in the RAID set up, I chose the option of two independent hard drives so they now drive C & D with Mac on C and D data on.

  If I go to the RAID console, it says "Can not get status", so I guess that the RAID is completely disabled but I wanted to just make sure.

  Thank you.

  Yes, you are right. You need at least 2 disks for a raid configuration to choose two independent disks made (off since raid), and your raid is not enabled. Good day.

• Satellite P305-S8818 - Question about RAID compatibility

  Hi guys

  Back to Tosh. P305 (S8818) with 2 HDD - mine has 2 * 250G & I admit I bought without just thought! [Kenya $$] Just 2 questions: -.

  (1) - some way that they can be implemented with RAID 1 Setup - H/cherif additions/changes?

  (2) - if not; 250 GB is way more than I need - suggestions as how I could make the best use of the 2nd HARD drive?
  I think 2 BONES or copy [say-'True Image'] disc 01 - I think that you guys have a lot more knowledge than me - I hope you can help

  If you can; you have my eternal gratitude

  -Best wishes-
  Denis

  Hello

  As I'm not mistaken the Satellite P300/P305 series does not support RAID.
  There is NO RAID controller, but only the SATA HDD controller!
  Therefore, the use of any RAID parameters is not possible!

  In my opinion the second HDD can be used as a place for backups. I mean that you can back up your important data and files such as mp3, movies, pictures, etc. on the second HARD drive. I think is not a bad idea because the files stand still the operating system will be too bad and you need to reinstall it on the first HARD disk.

• General questions NAS, multiple drives, RAID storage

  I have a Linksys EA6350 at home that is currently configured with a passport of aging WD for networked storage. It is time for replacement and I'd rather use the current and the replacement of the disks simultaneously on the network.  My first question is if Linksys firmeware accepts disks placed on a USB splitter. If possible, I am also curious to know if the firmware can manage several partitions on a disk.

  If one or both are possible, so I wonder if I can set up a RAID 1 mirror without hardware RAID configuration. I know that it's possible on a desktop computer, but the general consensus among the computer saavy, it's that it would not fine performer. However, I'm not very concerned about time to read/write for what I want to store in RAID; I care to ensure that the data is never lost.

  In my head, I'm thinking the installation program looks like this:

  Dispatcher USB-> Disk 1-> partition RAID 500 GB
  |                        |
  V                      V
  Disc 2 500 GB partition mirroring disk 2
  (500 GB)

  Thanks in advance for your time and advice,

  Thanks for sharing. Our routers Linksys does not support RAID. You can consider a NAS that supports RAID, unfortunately, we do not have a type of House and consumption.

• Dell power edge T620 configuration RAID and OS install Question

  Hi all

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post. My company recently bought a new server Dell T620 and I'm the one assigned to operate. Unfortunately, I do not have to configure a server with a RAID5 configuration.

  My question is, I'm following the directions to Dell that says opening the lifecycle controller, select deploy the operating system. Where I'm stuck is to put the virtual disk. It's my first RAID configuration, and I think that the VD is what windows uses to read total disk space? We run 3 - 1 TB NLS 6.0gbps 7.2 k RPM.

  I know 1 TB HARD drive to shows only 930 GB in windows. But for some reason any it offers me a virtual disk up to 1800 GB? I think I need to settle this at least can Go 930?

  I can give more details if necessary. But currently, I am stuck on this part and will not go forward unless some.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello acslacker

  All you need to do is choose RAID 5, select the 3 disks and accept. It will automatically use all available space.

  With discs hard 3x1TB the maximum available space will be approximately 2 TB. Some will disappear in the conversion to binary. It is announced that 930 GB instead of 1 TB. RAID 5 1 HARD drive is used for parity, then you will immediately lose 1 TB. This space will not appear in the usable space. The 1.8 to which it is automatically the list looks correct.

  Thank you
