• Get the error code 10 - LSI MegaRaid SAS 9261-8i device cannot start.

  How can I solve my problem of storage controllers? Get an error message stating: LSI MegaRaid SAS 9261-8i - device may not start (code 10)

  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.

• 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

• 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,

  If you really want to use it for installation, you will need to extract the driver from the VMware Tools ISO and add it to a disk image.

  We followed the procedure as shown in the following ibm Web site

  1.6 MegaRAID Manager storage system to a VMWare ESX Server

  Follow these steps to install the on a MegaRAID Storage Manager

  VMWare ESX Server:

  1. download the latest MSM to ibm.com

  2 unzip the and copy MSM_linux_installer - 501.01.tar.gz on a USB key.

  3. from the ESX Server, in the console root, type the following command

  to identify the USB device: fdisk-l

  4. type the following command: mount/mnt/dev / {name of the USB device}

  5. type the following command: cd/mnt

• LSI Logic SAS drivers for Windows 2003

  Hello

  I hope someone can point me in the direction of the LSI Logic SAS for Windows 2003 driver.  I would like to use the controller scsi LSI SAS to the C:\, but I can't find a driver.  What model of card of LSI is being virtualized?

  I use this one. Works very well.

  http://www.LSI.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_ics/lsisas1068/index.html

  It is not in format flp. to make flp follow these steps.

  Download on a virtual computer.

  connect a floppy drive to the virtual machine and choose to create a flp on the data store.

  Copy the files into the floppy drive and you now have your lsi sas pilot flp to use during the installation.

• LSI MegaRaid 9240-8i on ESXi 5.0 MegaCli

  I've implemented an ESXi 5.0 with LSI MegaRaid 9240-8i controller machine. The controller works fine and I was able to load the PMI provider such as the controller is displayed correctly in the State of health. But I really want to be able to use the MegaCli command line tool. I loaded the MegaCli executable but when I run it it fails ask libstorelib.so. Does anyone know what I should charge for making available? I searched throughout sites LSI and Vmware and am not finding anything.

• Change the type of scsi controller / windows7Server64Guest and LSI Logic SAS

  Hello

  I would like the parallel to sas LSI Logic scsi LSI logic controller type.

  the reason is this colleague has created an image of windows 2008 R2 and I want to install the machine in script.

  He used LSI Logic SAS.

  When I used PowerCLi for create a new virtual machine with the existing drive, he created with the LSI Logic parallel...

  (of course I change it manually, but I would like to completely automate the installation)

  could someone help me on this?

  Thank you very much in advance

  Fred

  Have you ever watched the SCSI adapater to paravirtual with PowerCLI change ?

  Instead of the VMware.Vim.ParaVirtualSCSIController you select the VMware.Vim.VirtualLsiLogicSASController object.

  Let me know that make you it work if I can post a sample.

  Z820 with LSI 2308 sas controller will not publish with intel PCIe SSD installed. The system works fine with Sata 600 pro SSD for windows and WD 4 TB Black seagate for storage. When the Intell 900 PCIe SSD drive is installed the system hangs at the LSI Mini OROM screen remains white. is there a way to put the LSI controller to jump the PCIe slots for boot devices?

• Parallel to LSI Logic SAS LSI logic change

  Hi guys

  We found a pretty slow Windows 2008 R2 VM, and we found the used SCSI controller is LSI Logic parallel how can change us at LSI Logic SAS and have Windows 2008 Startup OK?

  Thank you very much

  I wrote an article on how to do it here: http://wahlnetwork.com/2011/12/20/how-to-change-scsi-controller-type-on-a-vmware-vm/

  In your case, it's the opposite, but the instructions work the same (just go parallel to SAS instead).

• 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.

• Create the virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI LSI logic SAS with PowerCLi

  Hey guys,.

  IM the difficulty to create a virtual machine with the type of controller SCSI to "LSI Logic SAS". The cmdlet New - VM im struggling to find where to create the type of controller?

  If you create a virtual machine without specifying a disk it will create a 4 GB SCSI type thick (0:0) hard drive 1 with 0 Parrall default BusLogic SCSI controller.

  What im wanting to do is to create a disk hard which is thin Prov. and create SCSI LSI logic SAS controller is set to.

  New-VM -name VMSTORE23 -$vmhost $esxhost MemoryMB- 4096 NumCpu- 2 -NetworkName "Vlan 6 Machine Virtual Network" | Get-NetworkAdapter | Set-NetworkAdapter -Type Vmxnet3 -MacAddress '00:50:56:00:00:21' -confirm:$false

  I have recived of aid by some LucD who helped direct the value of the network card in the New - VM cmdlet as follows. But I'm not able to add a hose for hard disk also like:

  | Get-hard drive | Together-hard drive - Datastore $datastore - slim StorageFormat

  And I have no idea how change the type of SCSI conroller or create it with the correct configuration?

  Any help would be great,

  Thanks in advance

  Eddie

  Greetings, steddyeddie-

  You should be able to use Set - hard drive and SCSI controller Set cmdlets to set the storage format of your hard drive and the SCSI controller type, respectively.  You were close to on the part of game - hard drive .  Try something like:

  ## get the VM object $vmVMSTORE23 = Get-VM VMSTORE23 ## set the harddisk storageformat to thin$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-HardDisk | Set-HardDisk -StorageFormat Thin ## set the SCSI controller type$vmVMSTORE23 | Get-ScsiController | Set-ScsiController -Type VirtualLsiLogicSAS
  

  It could pack in to your existing order to keep it as a good word, but for readability.

• 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.

  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?
