How can I RAID 4 TB of disk on my PE 840?

I'm a newbie here, but I studied the forum days.

I am determined to make function of disc 4 to (4) in my Poweredge 840.  I understand that the PERC 5 / i controller will not do the job.  My question is this: is there a controller card I could buy that would work with the motherboard and to do this?  Is there any change I can make to the system that would allow me to use the OEM motherboard?

Just in case someone knows and is willing to share their information, I have one more question.

Can you recommend a replacement equipment that will do the work?  I would like to at least use my dual core Xeon processor in a LGA775 package.  I have the money, but not knowledge.  I have a terrible time to discover the maximum disk size of the different RAID cards.

Can I add a UEFI to my PE 840?

Thanks in advance!

UEFI cannot be 'installed' on a Board that was not with her. UEFI is not possible on a 840. Even if you could, it would not allow the use of 4 TB of drives on a RAID controller. UEFI applies only to the BOOT floppies (volumes, LUNS, HV) which are more than 2 TB. UEFI is not necessary for the data disks more than 2 TB. The material must he take charge. There is no program that can change the limits of the given equipment.

The only option is to replace the controller, which may require the replacement of the motherboard. Measure and control the position of the screws to ensure compatibility with third party advice. Remember that Dell servers are not intended to be upgraded with third party materials, so there is no reason to expect everything for the line upward and be consistent. If you can find a Board that will fit the chassis and check the connections of power supply/Panel, getting another controller will be negligible. I would recommend LSI.

  • How to create RAID 5 with 6 disks?

    I'm new to vmware. My machine is currently running ESXi 4.1 but the RAID set up gives me no more disk space I was advice to remake the structure of the disc physically to have all 6 disks in RAID 5 and then reinstall ESXi. I'm doing, but I need a direction how to create RAID 5 with 6 disks. Can someone please help with this?

    Thank you

    Assuming you are using the integrated Smart Array 6i controller it should without a problem. If you can get into the BIOS of conreollers, you can also boot from Smartstart CD and use the ACU (Array Configuration Utility). The ACU has the advantage that you can split the RAID in several logical drives. I usually create a small logical volume (~ 10GB) for the installation of the hypervisor (ESXi) and another large logical volume to the VMFS data store.

    I have Windows Vista.  I'm a msge saying that the recovery disc (D) is almost full.

    How can I transfer to OS (C) Disk that has plenty of room?    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but you cannot move the D: Partition recovery or its contents; It will not work if you do.

    Your recovery Partition was photographed on your hard drive during the production of your computer by the manufacturer for all of these reasons.

    1. If you want to reinstall Windows from in the case of a failure of the system, based on individuals or the keys at startup.

    F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 are a couple of different manufacturers use sequences.

    You will need to ask your manufacturer for proper sequence.

    2. to make the recovery disks on if your drive hard breaks down, so that you can then reinstall the operating system on a new hard drive.

    Also ask them how to make records.

    Your D: Recovery Drive is should not be used for backups, defragmented, etc..

    There are backups on an external hard drive.

    To resolve the problems that have arisen with the recovery D: Partition, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your computer to remove all that has been added to it.

    See you soon.

  • Re: Satellite L300 - 18 d - how can I get a Vista restore disk?

    Hello world

    My laptop (Satellite L300 - 18 d) has been seriously infected by viruses, all corrupt. I need to resinstall Vista but do not have the restore disc. After searching around, I managd to download a restore disk of some sites, but when I used this disc, it gave me an error code which meant the product key was wrong. I used the product key from the bottom of the laptop (I trust this is an OEM). So I guess I need a restore disk that works with my OEM product key.

  • How can I repair a file Vault disk in El Capitan?

    I had force my Macbook shut down recently and I opened disk utility to see if everything was okay. I'm running day El Capitan with a FileVault encrypted drive. Mid-2014 Macbook Pro bought February 2015.

    "First aid" running on the external Apple SSD article seems to be OK. It is when I run 'First aid' Macintosh HD said tells me that something is wrong and it needs to be repaired, but there is no repair button. Subsequent executions of "First aid" keep showing that there is a problem, so it doesn't seem to be repaired first aid course.

    I tried to start with the command + R to repair the disk, but it let me only apply "First aid" for Apple, not the Macintosh HD SSD. He said that Macintosh HD was not mounted. I guess it's because it is encrypted with FileVault, but I couldn't find how to tell him to decipher or mount the drive to take a peek.

    How can I run a repair on the disk? Should I even bother?

    Thank you!

    To mount, check or repair a disk or a volume that is encrypted with FileVault using disk utility, enter the FileVault password when you are prompted.

  • How can I remove shortcut for Manager disk cleanup that presents itself as a pop up.

    I have a shortcut to disk cleanup Manager.  It appears on my screen as a pop up intermittently and is very annoying.  How can I remove this shortcut?

    Hello

    The only function of cleaning disc in Windows is a tool under properties of a hard disk. So, unless you right click on your hard drive, you have a pop up of malware piece. To get rid of it, I recommend two programs (both freeware). Download, install and run them, and then to quarantine and remove all infections they find:

    Malwarebytes' anti-malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html.

    SuperAntiSpyware http://download.cnet.com/SuperAntiSpyware-Free-Edition/3000-8022_4-10523889.html.

    Then run your antivirus software and the quarantine and remove all the infections it finds. You have an antivirus software? I use and recommend Avast: http://download.cnet.com/Avast-Free-Antivirus/3000-2239_4-10019223.html .

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  • How can change the end of thick disk when a virtual machine has been placed on the disk?

    After you have moved the virtual computer to another stage, chose the thin disk bad. Now, the virtual machine cannot start. the error message says that it must be thick for clustering. So, I need to change it back if possible. Then I moved it back and thick chosed. But, after that, I got a same error. So, after you move, the atatuse disk was not be changed. Is it a way not both directions? How can change the staus thin to thick?

    Thank you!

    Hello George,.

    You can also convert virtual disks in eagerzeroedthick from the command line.

    vmkfstools-j VMname.vmdk allows to convert a thin disk in eagerzeroedthick

    vmkfstools k VMname.vmdk that will do it on a thick disk

    It can also work for a thin disk, click with the right button on the vmdk in browser data store, and then click 'inflate '.
