• Problems with LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i and ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  It's my first dappled in virtualization and got everything works pretty well for me except for one thing: esxi 4.1 does not allow me to use all the storage I allocated on my table of RAID5 on my LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i card. When I go in the vSphere client and try to create a data store, it recognizes the 2.73 TB logical drive except when it creates it is only 739,5 GB in size. Am I missing something here? I can't expand it, and it doesn't seem to be running from one of the physical disks, I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate the problem.

  Thanks for any help in advance!

  You create scopes of 2T and assemble them.

  I had to do this:

  localhost > /c4 set autocarve = on

  localhost > / c4 add type = disk = 0-3 name = RAID0 raid0

  localhost > / c4/u0 show

  Unit status % RCmpl %V/I/M VPort UnitType band Size (GB)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  U0 RAID-0 OK - 256K 5587.89
  U0-0 DISK OK - p0 - 1396.97
  U0-1 DISK OK - p1 - 1396.97
  U0-2 DISK OK - p2 - 1396.97
  U0-3 DISK OK - p3 - 1396.97
  U0/v0 Volume - 2048
  U0/v1 Volume - 2048
  U0/v2 Volume - 1491.89

  Then you can create the data store by using three volumes.  Create it with the first, and then increase with the other two.

• ESXi 5.0.0 not recognizing a RAID Volume on LSI MegaRAID.

  Hello

  I have a C220M3 with 9266-8i, LSI MegaRAID SAS controller. I used the utility MegaRAID to create a RAID volume, which appears as a virtual drive 0 in MMIC. My ESXi 5.0.0 installation (on flex flash) does not recognize this volume and I can't use it as a data store.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

• Provider of LSI works do not under ESXi 6

  Hey,.

  someone at - it the LSI PMI provider working with ESXi 6? The LSI support site lists only downloads for 5.0 and 5.x. I tried both, but when I try to find out the host with the MegaRAID Storage Manager, I can't find it.

  Maybe I'm missing something?

  Thank you

  I opened this case with LSI-support and basically got this info: PMI-Supplier will be released "in about a month. I feel simply "dud" LSI ESXi 6.0 release. Technician support was very surprised when I told him 6.0 is already out months ago...

• LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i for vmware vsa

  Hello world

  I have a hardware vendor build 3 5.1 production esxi hosts based on Asus RS700-E7 with 32 GB of ram each.

  They will support up to 24 vm in an environment of low IOPS / s.

  They will run the VSA for vmware appliance in raid 10 on the sata drives.

  The seller offers the LSI 9260-4i Megarid. I'm not sure.

  What LSI Megaraid controller recommended by those who have used them in the past for vmware VSA?

  I am also looking at the LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i. Whichever is faster on vsa for vmware using WD drives and raid 10.

  I use 4 drives per host, so I'm also cureous why some people use 8i controllers.

  Thanks in advance.

  I actually went with SAS 15 k drives in raid 5. I already answered my own question on the raid controller, so I'll mark this as answered. Thank you.

• LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager and Dell PERC cards?

  Hi all

  I have a Dell PERC 6 / i in my whitebox ESXi 4 server and I seem to be missing some options when connecting to it via the LSI MegaRAID 2.91 Storage Manager - 05. Basically, it seems the only operation I can do is take the disks offline. I have no option to create tables, add/remove disks in bays or change RAID levels.

  I can do all these things from the BIOS, this is obviously not the card. I had a glance the BIOS if it was something in TeleManagement prevents there but could not see anything, and I was wondering if these limitations due to a cut the officer of management in ESXi or something? If not, what could be causing the problem? When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access.  As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access. As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  Have you installed the OEM ESXi version for Dell machines, or just a generic of VM Ware?  If you install ESX (with console) you can then install OM, and will give you the access you want.  You can manage all of this on the web.  Otherwise ESXi is limited, and it is a known issue.

  Have you tried to discuss with Dell?

  Looking at the web site of LSI, I see that they have released a driver updated on 8/10.  You should probably download and install it.  Here is the first part of the file read me for it:

• ThinkServer TD340 - features LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i

  I have been looking to add a few records to our current 4 disk RAID10 configuration - managed by SAS9240-8i controller. However, I have been informed by Lenovo they dropped the disc that we currently have 4, which means that we cannot just buy 2 more and add them to the current RAID.

  My question is - the SAS9240-8i is able to manage two separate RAIDs? If we were to buy two disks could put us up in a RAID1 while still managing the other 4 disks in the RAID10?

  I tried to find this info of LSI/Avago, but since it is a Lenovo machine, they were not able to provide me with the information I requested. I get a little more hoping answers here.

  Thank you!

  Hi DForza,

  To answer your question, yes the 9240-8i is capable of multiple RAID volumes. In my opinion, that it supports up to 64 RAID volumes.

• ESX 4.1 and LSI Megaraid Storage Manager

  Hi all!

  I'm testing a move of VMWare vCenter server for my organization and I am running into a problem.

  In my test environment, I have a Supermicro H8DME-2 motherboard with a Raid SAS LSI 9261 - 8i on that controller.  I currently have 2x750GB Sata in Raid 1 drives configured on the LSI controller.

  VSphere health now, reports that everything is perfect, especially when I pull on one of the hard drives.

  My problem is my ability to rebuild the table if I replace a drive.  I do not see this feature within vSphere (and I am not advanced to vCenter again, although I intend to do).  I was hoping to get LSI MSM installed, but I get an error.

  I installed MSM 8.00 - 05 website of LSI and used the vmware installation script.  I opened the ports required in the firewall of ESX.  I loaded the MSM client on either a guest on the ESX host or on my own machine and I am able to login and connect to the server.

  Loads of everything and I have just enough time to just a few clicks (about 20 seconds) until I lose the connection to the server.  After that, I can't reconnect unless I go to the server console and the show

  /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd restart

  .  Then I can connect again, but only for 20 seconds.

  For this reason, I can't manage my server, for example a range of gradients or the configuration of a new table, without having to reboot the host, which is an unacceptable solution.

  If I have a ssh connection open to the server when the frame falls down, I get a few terminals output.  It is:

  A google search revealed by train

  export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

  but that has not solved the problem.

  Can someone point me to a solution?  I can't imagine that it is a new show, while everyone else is doing when they need to rebuild a table?

  Thank you!

  CIM LSI modules should be in the standard installation of ESXi. They will give you basic followed the vSphere client. Reconstruction of the tables would not be a part of that. I go back to ESXi 4.0 and try everything that is available for LSI specifically for ESXi. If the controller supports relief, you can simply add another drive.

  I don't know what can be available with the controller of the motherboard Supermicro (IPMI) but you can check this.

• How to: install Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit) in ESXi 4.1 - 260247 with controller 'LSI Logic SAS'?

  Hello

  I have a newly installed ESXi 4.1 - 260247 on a Fujitsu - Siemens GROUND RX300 S4 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5420 @ 2.5 GHz with 36 GB of RAM.

  Storage controller is a LSI MegaRAID SAS 1078 6 x 750 GB SATA - drives configured with 3xRAID-1 logical drives. BIOS Version 4.06 Rev 1.04.2519

  Now, I'm trying to install "Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit" in a virtual machine, but fail because the virtual hard disk cannot be found.

  I tried with all Types of SCSI controller, but when running of the "Create Virtual Machine"-magician, he suggests 'LSI Logic SAS'. "." I tried 'LSI Logic parallel' and "VMware Paravirtual" but it did not work. However, I have not tried "Parallel BusLogic", since it clearly says no "recommended for this guest operating system".

  I was unable to find documentation on how and where I can find the "LSI Logic SAS" - pilot to be able to continue the installation. The

  Windows Server 2008 R2 installation is an ISO obtained directly from Microsoft eLicensing.

  I also downloaded the drivers floppy 'pvscsi - Windows2008.flp' and 'vmscsi.flp' from the ESXi server, but the program finds no driver validates the installation of Windows on them.

  I also extracted files "windows.iso' of the ESXi machine, but not drivers there as well.

  So my question is, what model is the "LSI Logic SAS", I guess I can download these LSI directly, I need to know what model?

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Kind regards

  Christian

  chrkad,

  I think you have the same problem I had.   Trying to install 2008 R2 and asked for drivers?

  The issue wound up being an ISO corrupt Ms.

  Try to download the ISO using the java-based download manager.  This will tell you if your download is getting disturbed, as mine was.  It will also be the image once completed to ensure you've got the whole thing of checksum.  Just download via HTTP does not.

  I found myself in download the image of the House and burn a DVD and realize that the back of the office,

• C200 M2 LFF does not see the disks in the start menu after installing ESXi

  So in front of me, I have a brand new C200 M2 LFF with a single E5606 processor, 20 GB of RAM and a controller LSI Megaraid 9260 - 4i and 4 drives of 1 TB SAS. I put the disks in a RAID 5 array, I created a 10 GB virtual disk and properly installed ESXi on it twice, with a second virtual disk to be used as a data store.

  However, I can't get the thing to boot. It isn't even an option. The only storage in the boot menu option corresponds to the DVD player. If I look at the mass storage controller configuration, in fact, 0 and 4 SATA ports are "not installed" and port 5 has the DVD player.

  I tried fiddling with the settings of the BIOS without a bit of luck. Currently, the integrated controller is enabled and the SATA mode is set on improved (which seems to be the default, and what is recommended with Megaraid cards). It is a bundle (UCSC-DBUN-C200-102 by delivery, which seems to be a number of separate reference only), so I didn't have to assemble whatever it is and I guess that all the cables are connected at the factory. I opened the server, and I can say that all the cables look connected.

  Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I have to open a case with the TAC, that's good, but seeing as I can't actually install the operating system there must be something stupid miss me.

  Disable the onboard Controller. This is software raid ICH10R.

  Reset. Then in the fixed CIMC/BIOS boot order and pint at the LSI.

  For the most recent ESXi 5.0, go to VMWare and search for ' ESXi 5.0 cumulative 2.
