• Internal hard drive inside Dell PowerEdge R710

  Well then clarify first of all. This server is NOT used in a business environment. Its literally being used as a home media server (Yes, exaggerated way I know but I got for free so who is complaining).

  IM currently using a PowerEdge 2950 as my media server, I just took his upgrade, a R710 Gen 2 and I would like to use all 6 bays at the front for hard drives that I can put the plates on instead of 1 for the operating system and then everything else for the media.

  How I would go about installing an internal hard drive, preferably a SSD, inside the R710. I know it has a free SATA port but I can't seem to see the spare power cables or cables molex as there is in the Gen 3 2950 I.

  If it is not possible, it's quite good, but I would like to have installed an internal hard drive.

  I know there is a USB port, but I use Windows Server R2 2012 (probably soon to be Server 2016) but I'm not sure if Windows Server can be installed on the internal USB port.

  If you need to record, or on the label of service I can give you this information.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Thanks for the clarification. It's something that you can try, but it is not supported and there is no guarantee that the SSD will be detected and it works perfectly. Try this P/N GP700 cable

  

• 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.

• Dell PowerEdge T320 PERC H710P Upgrade

  Dear support, I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server that was purchased with a software RAID controller in S100.  I just bought a PERC H710P controller and hoped to help on the installation.  Do I need anything else to install the card as a set of cables?  I have a 8 x 3.5 "hot swappable backplane already installed with a pair of cables SAS that connect to the motherboard.  What else do I need to do this work?  I'm also not sure where the PERC H710P controller must be installed?  I can't find pictures or drawings on the Internet.

  Thank you

  Joe

  Jpmigliozzi,

  You should also order the cable (part # DJXF7) as well. This is the cable that connects the 710 in the bottom of the basket 8 x 3.5. Look at the picture below and let me know if those are the cables you already have.

  

  Let me know.

• Internal tape drive

  Hi all

  Here's what I have going... I have a small project for a small

  company. What they have done is bought a Dell server with a band

  drive.

  I use VMConverter to move two physical Windows 2003 servers to this area.

  My question is at least one of the virtual machine will be able to see and use this internal tape drive.

  I am tired of talking them to another type of storage, but with

  their budget and they had tapes and software that would work

  with this player.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Please visit http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Virtualization/How-to-Attach-Local-Tape-Device-to-VMware-ESX-Host/ for assistance with this. The key is to have a SCSI Adaptec (non-RAID) card within the ESX host.

• Dell PowerEdge T320 - upgrade memory

  Dear all,

  I recently put a server DELL T320 with 64 GB of RAM, I want to add additional memory and would like to know is this server supports 32 GB memory cards. There are now two empty slots in the server and I want to add Two 32 GB cards in them.

  Server model: Dell PowerEdge T320
  Processor: Intel (r) Xeon CPU E5-2407 v2 @ 2.40 GHz
  Board of Directors information: 0MK701, Version A01,.

  Chipset: Intel C602

  Current memory: 16 GB x 4 (64 GB total)

  Product data sheet says that 32 GB is supported. www.Dell.com/.../PD

  Is that no matter what knows the exact part number and make memory which is supported. Please notify.

  Kind regards

  REDA

  Hello.

  Yes, the server supports 32 GB memory modules. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the population memory guidelines requiring that balanced memory channels, will need you 3 modules 32 GB and 16 GB 3 modules such as:

  A1, A2, AND A3: 32GB

  A4, A5 & A6: 16GB

  Here's the 32GB module part number: SKU # A7916527 & Mfg # SNPF1G9D / 32G. Make sure that your BIOS is up to date.

• Internal hard drive from Dell not found 8 place

  Its broke

  The bios cannot locate the drive. The on-board diagnostics can find and test without problem. It passes all the tests. Help!

  I'm done with the same problem after having accidentally reset the Bios of my meeting place 8 Pro 3845 it is "optimized" parameters by default and after a bunch of hours of frustration, I tried a mixture of solutions different people had posted. Because I wanted a clean install anyway, I didn't have the data on the disk.

  Long story short, the venue Pro 3845 8 will not start via microSD, insert the microSD card into a card reader USB and that attaching an OTG cable has worked to get the boot made in this sense. I have used Rufus to create this bootable microSD/USB key, based on a Windows 10 iso home x 86 which I had downloaded through Microsofts MediaCreationTool. The next challenge was the support of the mouse/touchscreen missing when installing Windows. I'm managed by addition of AutoUnattended.xml, the first round with some standard settings disc missed a great time (i.e. Setup was not able to copy the files because he had problems to access the internal disk (MEM).

  I came across a tabletpcreview.com topic that contains the details of the right disk in the provided AutoUnattended.xml, where I caught the "DiskConfiguration" and "ImageInstall" section for my Windows 10 compatible file.

• Dell PowerEdge T320 does not start

Server initializes the memory and starts initialization of iDrac, stays there for a few minutes, giving massage iDRAC initialization failed and restarts again and again. never of boots. I tried to remove all components PCIe and USB, no luck.  Please let me know how I can fix this problem

  Lapinas

  Now I get error swc0700 IDrac and life cycle control disabled.

  This error is caused by multiple restarts that lead to errors of IPMI. Update the firmware of the iDRAC.

  Reposition the controller and the ends of the cables connected to the controller. This device is installed on the 4 PCIe slot? Re-seat all PCIe devices and restart. Response to my e-mail with DSET report.

• Additional 2 x 1 TB HARD drive upstream Del PowerEdge running ESXi 4

  Hi all

  I would like to add additional 2 x 1 TB drive in my current work ESXi 4 Server that runs on Dell Power Edge 2950 - III the current configuration is 4 x 500 GB SATA RAID 5, do I have to reinstall the server just to add these two records in the data store to save it?

  Kind regards

  AWT

  If you have the PERC controller, simply add the disk in half.

  If you have OpenManage (OMSA), you can create new RAID configuration without restarting your system.

  Otherwise, just restart the system, enter the PERC BIOS, create a new virtual disk.

  Then, in ESX / Setup / storage card be sure to see the new drive (if it is not a new analysis).

  Then just add a new data store (in Configuration / Storage).

• I have to shutdown PowerEdge T320 to add more disks?

  Hello

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 with following Perc

  ID	0
  Name	Adapter PERC H310
  State	Loan
  Firmware version	20.12.0 - 0004
  Driver version	6.801.05.00

  Currently, the server has two drives of 1 TB on a RAID 1 virtual disk. I want to add more than 4 drives (2 TB) and create a RAID 5 with 3 disks and leave one as a spare drive. So my questions are:

  1. do I need to disable the server in order to add new readers? -the server has access area Bay front for Perc connections, which are the SATA drives.

  2. what would be the appropriate steps to set up the RAID. Can I make using Dell Open manage?

  3. do you know if the 2 TB drive, I want to use as a hot spare works also for the 1 TB RAID 1 drives?

  Thanks in advance.

  1. you should NOT turn off to add or replace the hot-swappable drives. Leave it on.

  2. Yes, use OpenManage... Select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 1.

  3. Yes, the reader may be bigger, but not smaller. All larger than the other Member disks space will be wasted space. Then, you'll go from a 1 to a 4 TB RAID 5 RAID 1. Half of all your drives of 2 TB will be wasted.

  Another thing, you need to know is that if Windows is ALREADY installed with UEFI enabled (as opposed to the BIOS), then you can not use more than 2 TB. Windows cannot use a greater than 2 TB drive unless it's TPG, and Windows cannot start a GPT disk except if installed on UEFI system activated. Conversion to GPT is destructive, so it cannot be changed without reinstalling.

  My advice would be to set up your 4x2TB in a 4 TB RAID 6 disks - RAID 6 is a better use of a 'rescue' as a backup pending. RAID 10 would also be acceptable.

• 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.

• What external cable to adapter for dell 6Gbps PCIe SAS tape drive

  Hello

  I have an external controller of the HBA dell R220 with a PCIe (SAS 6Gbps) (Dell part in the 405-AACH citation number). I need this hook to a Tandberg StorageLoader LTO-4 - band - LTO Ultrium - SAS MFG auto charger. part: 7816-LTO which has on it a 26 4 pin x external interface shielded multi-channel SAS (SFF-8088) Mini.

  The seller (not dell) sent me a 1 m cable SAS internal (SFF-8087 to SFF-8482) which I am totally surprised how who can be connected even internally. Another question is, this internal cable is going to be useful for anything whatsoever for the tape drive login server?

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

• Dell PowerEdge 2900 - need to use internal drives for RAID

  Hi all

  I am the I.T. guy for small business from my father. I help them on the side.

  They have recently purchased a PowerEdge 2900 server used with 4 internal SCSI drives

  This server also has a Dell SAS 5 / i integrated controller

  I want to install Windows 2008 R2 standard on this server and use it as a file server and a place to host QuickBooks Enterprise.

  The problem, in that I am running is that I can't find in the Bios or anywhere in the server startup utilities where I can configure the 4 internal drives as a RAID 5 array. I want to do this and THEN install the Windows Server operating system. I used the last Build Server utility Dell and also updated all the firmware to the latest versions. The Build Server utility doesn't let me configure the RAID array.  What I'm missing here?

  Thank you very much for your help!

  I upgraded to a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller and now problem is solved. Just need a new controller internal RAID.

  Problem is solved!
