• SAS HBA or Raid for R905 for external storage?

  So I got a R905 used off ebay.  I wanted to use it for a storage server.  Unfortunately, the LSI SAS HBA or the Areca 1883 work in one of the 7 pci-e slots.  The cards are seen and their bios are launched and start automatic and other tests.  Two of them crash during initialization (it is not a matter of waiting a few minutes - in a trial, let him so all day while I was out).  I know that the slots are not dead, like the map 4-port gbe enet provided with it works great, just like a connection-x 2 infiniband card.  I confirmed that the bios and bmc firmware are the latest and best.  It's a kind of dell 'we do support the controllers dell' thing?  If so, I guess I agree with the purchase of a dell SAS HBA connector sff-8088 with random (since that's what jbod I want to connect using...)  Any thoughts appreciated...

  Hello.

  No Dell non-certified controllers are not validated to work properly on Dell servers. But this does not mean that may not work, it's a 50-50 chance. I recommend using certified Dell SAS HBA card such as: manufacturer: 7RJDT | Dell reference: 342-0910. Not so sure on the type of connector

• 6 GB/s SAS HBAS do not post on a R720

  Hey guys, so here's an interesting question that I was wondering if anyone has seen him. So we have a series of servers R720 with 6 GB/s THAT SAS HBA cards in them (2 per server). On the whole, but 1 of these servers, don't see no map us in the original POST that let's us get in and see what are the addresses of SAS. Now, the weird thing is, once we loaded the OS (tried 4.1i ESX and Windows 2008 R2), you can see the HBA without problem, but it does not help when you try to assign SAS ID to the MD3220. Is not as if these are bad cards (possibly, but that can mean that we got a few of them). There really seems to be something with how the R720 is (UEFI, perhaps?) or is not listing these cards because I don't see even in the cycle of life and the console business iDRAC7 management controller.

  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

  3 years later, ongoing execution in the same new problem and I managed to solve.

  In the BIOS, spend built-in-> Slot disability devices. The SAS cards had their defined slots on "Boot driver Disabled. I changed the "Enabled" and of course they appear in the BIOS now.

  It's funny how things are when you revisit them later.

• Z210 and SAS HBA: those that will work?

  I have an Z210 with the processor E-1240 and 16 GB of RAM, Win7 64-bit.  I have a few hard drives SAS 15 K HP's and I want to install on this machine - but the Z210 has no integrated SAS controller. I discovered that there is an Avid Certified version of this computer, and it uses a controller LSI SAS SAS9200-8F to hang the external storage drives. LSI SAS9200 - 8 used to be available in a version of the internal interface (LSI SAS 9200-8i), but that is only apparently now deployed for IBM and there are no Windows 7 drivers.

  I want to install an INTERNAL SAS HBA. and I noticed that there is an older model, the LSI SAS3041e, which has drivers for Windows7 64-bit available. So, I think that this cheap SAS HBA could be a good candidate for my Z210.

  Has anyone any how SAS HBA in an Z210 properly installed? Specifically the SAS3041e LSA? I think that the issue could boil down to how you install drivers and access the HBA for the boot BIOS...

  DRM for your collective wisdom!

  Well, after much research, I decided that the LSI SAS3041-e (non-RAID) controller was a likely candidate. They are available on eBay for almost nothing.

  I just installed one in my Z210 and it was as easy as possible: Although the technical docs of LSI a several step process to load the drivers Windows 7 Pro 64-bit with Service Pack 1 installed, the drivers are already present in Windows 7 Pro. I plugged the controller, hooked to a pair of HP SAS 15 K disks and booted from the disc of Windows 7 HP system recovery.

  The controller immediately recognized Z210 installed the BIOS and I was off and running. Installation of Win 7 completed smoothly and when the machine finally started in a new Win 7 system, everything was fine and my two new hard drives SAS have been properly formatted and correctly recognized. You should be aware that you will need a pair of "bizarre" SATA cables to use these discs 'battleship-quality '. Cables have a conenctor unified at one end to connect the SAS drives, and the other end is a plain old SATA drive connector and a SATA power plug.

  Even if SAS 15 K drives are slightly slower than a disc of 6 GB/S SATA III, the practical speed difference is trivial, these drives have a superior quality construction regular SATA HD, I think.

• HP Z820 - BIOS 02.55 rev A - SSD on LSI SAS 2308 do not start... "Non-system disk...". »

  Hello

  MY Z820 workstation is equipped with an Intel 520 240 GB SSD as boot drive, on the integrated LSI SAS 2308 controller. It is a GPT disk.

  I just tried to update my BIOS Rev 02.08 Z820. at 02.55 a. rev.

  The update succeeded, and in the BIOS, I check that all the settings are the same as before the update. On the boot, however, I get an error saying "Non system disk or disk error."

  Mass strorage option ROM is set to EFI mode.

  No matter what the settings, it does not start in Windows.

  I started 02.08 BIOS Rev A and now all is well again.

  Is there a compatibility issue with the BIOS 02.55 Rev A combo, Intel SSD 520 and LSI SAS 2308?

• UCS C240 M4 will not start from the HARD local using MegaRAID SAS HBA 12 GB disc

  I have a new server C240 M4 with 12 GB of MegaRAID SAS HBA. I have configured a key virtual bootable (VD0) with 2 SSDS and disks SAS TB in a RAID 5 Virtual Drive (VD1) + global hot spare with 5 1.

  I installed ESXi on VD0 without any problem, but the system doesn't VD0 as bootable.

  I tried adding a local HARD drive in the boot order using the MMIC, but it seems not to be inserted in the selection of boot device.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  The configured boot order corresponds to the real boot order in the MMIC?

  "I tried to add a local HARD disk to the boot order using the MMIC, but it seems not to be inserted in the selection of boot device."

• RAID works using MD1200 r.620 and 6 GB/s SAS HBA?

  We have a r.620 with Dell SAS HBA already in which is attached to a tape of 124 t library.

  Just got a MD1200 and I plugged in the other port on the SAS HBA.  I can see the drives in Windows Disk Manager.  I can also see Open Manage, but there is no option to use RAID functions or create virtual discs.  Should there be?

  In fact, OpenManage said "Connector 0 (no RAID)" with regard to the SAS 6 GB/s HBA.   I searched online for drivers for this card that allow RAID and can not find.  Am, I watered?   How the RAID to work on the MD1200?

  Hello wardog25,

  For the MD1200 you use a PERC card because it will allow that you create a raid array. The SAS 6hba that is used for your 124 t isn't a raid card, so you will not be able to create a raid on this map. For a MD1200, we recommend that you use a PERC H800. Here is a link to the Guide of interoperability for the MD1200 & if you look at page 2, it lists the supported raid controllers. FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/PowerVault-md1200_Reference%20Guide_en-us.PDF

  Here is a link to buy a PERC H800 if you need.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Reference Dell 6gbps SAS HBA and Powervault TL4000

  Hello.

  We have a server Poweredge R620 with Windows 2008 R2, two Dell 6gbps SAS HBA cards installed and Simpana software backup R2 9.0.

  We also have a TL4000 with two IBM drives, all firmwares are up to date.

  Each SAS HBA card is connected to each drive in the library via a single cable SAS.

  I can see the cards in the Server Device Manager.

  The library works, but when I monitors the status of the disk in the web interface of the ilbrary, the two ports and B seem to 'not ready, not connected. "

  I tried to use Simpana to detect the library. But it cannot detect anything after dozens of tests and scenarios.

  What I am doing wrong? I can provide all of the information you want.

  Thanks in advance.

  Problem has been resolved with the help of Bestami Bayramoglu of Dell Technical Support team.

  I took some pictures of the rear of the server and the library and sent them to Bestami.

  They analyzed and was told that the SAS cards were not inserted and locked properly.

  These cables are equipped with a locking mechanism and they do not work if they are not inserted and locked properly.

  Another question for readers; SAS cards inside my server r.620 part number is j53x3. Crack of metal of this card is not compatible with my server in a rack. The correct we reference number is 3ddjt.

  Bestami told me about this and we will order correct.

  Thank you for your support.

• LSI sas to pvscsi

  I changed my scsi lsi sas to pvscsi adapter, but then the 2012 server will not start. What is the process to change the adapter? Is there a great performance benefit to LSI sas to pvscsi?

  Thank you

  RDM will be still less resources than VMDK. This may not always translate into better performance. In this case, you really have to do a few tests to decide what will be the ideal combination for your specific virtual machines. But, Yes, MDM with pvscsi must have the best performance of all the scenarios.

• LSI SAS 9211-8i performance problem. (2 MB/s)

  Hello

  I got the LSI SAS 9211-8i adapter to implement an ESXi 4.1 server to host a set of virtual machines.

  I attached 8 6 GB/s Western Digital HDDs to the adapter and put into RAID 10.

  Everything was OK during the installation and initial configuration, but when it came time to transfer all the virtual machines in this

  individual ESX server, the best data transfer rate was somewhere between 2-3 MB/s.

  I've already updated the BIOS and the firmware in the adapter, but still no luck getting it to transfer more quickly.

  Only time wherever I was able to get improved data transfer speeds was when I removed the RAID and had all 8 disks individually,

  But even in this case, the performance was so-so. (4-5 MB/s).

  NOTE: If I connect a hard drive to the motherboard and install ESXi 4.1 on the disc, the speed of data transfer are very good.

  Data sheet:

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Motherboard: ASUS P6X58D-E

  Processor: Core i7 950

  RAM: 24 GB DDR3

  hard drive: Western Digital WD5002AALX

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I would really appreciate if anyone has ideas or suggestions.

  Yes, it is built to a price. There is nothing wrong with it. LSI has just removed features (cache and the option to add it) to make it to sell for a price conscious buyer.

• HP SAS HBAS with IBM Storage and SAS SAN vs iSCSI SAN

  Hello, I am working on a project, and I have to add a SAN solution to my client infaestructure. My client already has a HP Server and we wanted to add another server, but an IBM one. I thought I'd add storage IBM (DS3200) that has two SAS interfaces. The problem is that the Distributor IBM says who does not know if the HP Server will be able to communicate with the SAS IBM storage. So, one possibility was to put on the server HP HP SAS HBA Controller. The second option is to put a SAS HBA Controller IBM. I think that the SAS is a standard, it doesn't matter what brand I use of HBA. Should not it works anyway?

  There is another option which adds instead of SAS one iSCSI storage. The problem is that I do not know the performance than the iSCSI storage. I want to put inside it's VM with Exchange Server (50 mailboxes), an ERP (for 50 users) with it's SQL Server, a computer file virtual, a virtual machine server with Active Directory.

  So, the questions are:

  1 - does anyone have experience with iSCSI storage to see if its performance if goog enough (I intend to use a dedicated to the iSCSI network gigabit switch)?

  2 does anyone know if I use different brands of servers (in this example an IBM and HP) with a SAS storage IBM? Who be it already done? The HP SAS HBA are compatible with the IBM iSCSI storage? IBM SAS HBA are compatible with HP servers?

  3. in the case of being able to do what I say to question 2, that do you suggest? Put a HP SAS HBA within the HP Server or upgrade an IBM SAS HBA inside HP Server?

  Of course the option I want to use is the addition of SAS IBM storage instead of using an iSCSI one, but I'm not sure of their compatibility between HP and IBM storage servers.

  Thanks in advance.

  In this case, the reason why I wouldn't use SAS is that your application requires this level of performance and the cost as not justified. You can configure iSCSI and direct savings in most important features such as snapshot, replication and dedup. If you were available to this solution with the DS3200 spend you 10K and that none of these features. Performance is very good, but you will find that the system is not yet warmed up with this load. The SAS Protocol can support high IO, but is not what provisions IO, is the number of disks and the RAID mode that defines your ability to e/s. I put 40 K terraced small IOPS / s on a single caching of 1 GB iSCSI target, so he can make the e/s. flow is not as high , but do you really need it. In the future you can profitable move to 10Gbe if you find insufficient bandwidth, which would be faster than the SAS 3 GB limit that is uneconomic to upgrade 3 + times.

  Kind regards

• RAID-5 performance of LSI SAS 2008 m - 8i in C240 M3?

  Anyone can take the floor to exercise the option of controller RAID mezzanine in the C240, especially in a RAID-5 configuration? I need set up a C240 with all 5 PCIe slots consumed with interface cards, so I'll need to use the mezzanine card option. The 2008 m does not support a BBU, but what I understand, it supports the write cache and has a processor shipped to XOR to unload so I expect it has correct performance of RAID-5/50. I can't seem to find the guides or documentation only.

  Finally, we replaced Cisco UCSC RAID SAS 2008 M - 8i (SLOT-MEZZ) with LSI MegaRAID SAS 9271-8i with memory cahce and BBU (with SuperCap TMM-C) and helped write back cache policy - drive performance fantastically improved.

• LSI-9210-8i (LSI SAS 2008) written very unstable and purple screen

  Hello!

  I have a serious stability problem and I am not able to understand how to solve.

  I have an IBM ServerRaid M1015 (oem of a LSI-9220-8i version) I reflashed with the ISIS software (9210-8i IT mode, but see below for details).

  When I started with ESXi and create a virtual machine with a big virtual disk (90% of the physical disk), the creative process hangs after some time (about 10% for a vdisk 145GB on a 160 GB pdisk)

  and I get a lot of 'stuff' in the file vmkernel.log (see attachment logfiles). Finally, ESXi will be purple screen and die.

  I seem to be able to make the small diskaccesses with no problems.

  To test if it's a hardware problem, I have:

  • I did a new install of Debian - 6.0, and there everything works without problem.
  • I only did a new install of Solaris-11u1 no problem here too: the controller was FAST!
  • I tried to move the controller to another host (HP DL120 G6), same problem here.
  • I even tried to buy another controller (which worked perfectly with the included IBM software but after that I have reflashed with the LSI-9210-8i IT firmware, that he was not only the first)
  • I tried a cable cutter instead of HP backplane to be sure it wasn't the bottom of basket that gave me problems.
  • I tried to move the map to another location PCIe cable 8087 to the other port on the controller card.

  The system configuration:

  • VMware: ESXi - 5.1.0update1 (build 1065491)
  • Machine: HP ML150 G6 (12 GB of memory, BIOS: ø21) and HP DL120 G7

  Hello!

  It seems that VMware ESXi 5.5 have a conflict pilot with different controllers in the same machine at the same time.

  I have been using the LSI AND the controller on the motherboard for extra drive supported.

  When I only disks on the controller LSI wanished of problems!

  I have why it worked in the Debian and Solaris with disks on both controllers, but not in ESXi. I tried to level the firmware and drivers of LSI, but he will get unstable on me when using different types of controllers at the same time.
