• Reference Dell r710 with Perc 6 / i

  Hi all, I'm new and I have a question / an interesting situation.

  I work at a place that has a side job and other corresponding testing of all 100% server hardware.  No not the internet key equipment and we can not use Dell openmanage, I know: (.)  Sometimes our side test was "played" with so that it becomes a bit different and we need to match the side work again.  So to make them the same as we want to be able to shoot one of the servers work drives RAID 1 it pop in the test part and rebuild tests disks RAID 1 hard sides.

  I tried this and it's not well.  I'm looking for the best way to do it?  You cannot use either of imaging software.  :(

  When I tried this, I pulled on all sides of tests of hard drives and fallen into one of the RAID1s on the side work.  Then I said yes to "import foreign disks" then I booted into the operating system and fell in one of the tests sides other readers thinking he would rebuild it, but it didn't.  I guess it's because it was still part of the former RAID1 VDs?  in any case, I then rebooted the testing server, deleted the old disks hard foreign config thinking the controller THEN let me rebuild on it, but still NOT!  I'll have to 'replace' the hard drive.  What I am doing wrong?  Is there a good way to do it?

  Thank you!!!

  Disks using as as a replacement for a "backup" was never part of its design, but the process of moving the disks to a new controller is fully supported:

  1. CTRL-R start
  2. Remove the VD
  3. Power off
  4. Remove the old disks
  5. Insert the new drive
  6. Power on
  7. IMPORT the foreign configuration
  8. Insert the drive to rebuild... HOT!
  9. CTRL-R start
  10. CLEAR foreign config
  11. Assign the drive as a hot spare to begin to rebuild

  Curious to know your limits - no OMSA, no imaging software?

• Additional disk on Dell R710 with PERC 6i controller

  I want to add an additional drive to an existing 5 RAID.  Can I do this without destroying the data?  If so, what is the procedure.

  Thank you

  You must CLEAR the foreign configuration on the first disc (storage, PERC, Information/Configuration, foreign/Clear in list dropdown controller). After compensation, it will show as a LOAN.

• Memory upgrade - Dell R710 with 1 GB DIMM

  Hello

  My server before in the memory modules Ram 1 GB

  A1 A2 A3 B1 B2 B3 B6 B5 B4 A6 A5 A4

  I'm looking to fill all of the empty boxes with modules of 1 GB but when I did it an error of memory and does not start. I looked in the BIOS and the memory configuration is set to optimized (it does allow me to change that). It has also two CPU - FYI

  Thank you

  Matt

  Matthew.Ryan,

  Unfortunately with UDIMM installed on the server, it is currently overexploited. This is due to the restriction of this population of DIMMs for UDIMM memory and quad-rows DIMM is two by way. So the 3rd dimm per channel will not be supported when you use the UNIQUE access.

  Let me know if this helps answer the question.

• ESXi 3.5 maximum number of processors

  Hi all

  The maximum configuration or more exactly, I found a table (table 3, page 4) that contains information about the maximum in looking ESXi documentation, calculate for ESX systens.

  I would like to know about this line:

  "Number of cores per server 32.

  This means that the limit for ESXi systens are 32 hearts regardless of the processor how much I runing on my server?

  For example:

  A server with xeon quad processors 4 four is equal to a base of sixteen 16 server.

  ESXi would work in this server?

  Another example (I know that's not possible, but it's just an example):

  A server equipped with 8 eight physical processors, a carrot by processor.

  ESXi would work in this server?

  Resume, I would like to know what is the real maximum limitation of a number of ESXi Server (free ESX edition) of processors (cores).

  I just want to be sure about this before buying a server with 4 processors with the cost of the car...

  Thanks in advance for any assistance.

• Dell R710 and ESXi 4.1 NIC issue.

  Please bare with me, I'm a newbe with vMware.

  My question is this:

  Got a new Dell R710 with Broadcom BCM5709 quad. Install ESXi 4.1 CD. Then, I created a virtual machine and install Win Server 2008 R2 64 bit.

  In vSphere Client under configuration-> network-> properties (per virtual switch)-> network-> adapter details maps I see the Broadcom adapter. But in Windows in the Device Manager the NIC comes as Intel PRO/1000MT.

  This is the expected behavior? ESXi support a pilot intel virtual any? or must we show Broadcom NIC.

  If this is not the expected behavior, please suggest a solution.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community,

  what you see is expected and in design. ESX mask the real hardware and presents a virtual hardware to virtual machines. In this way, you are able to move the virtual machine across different hosts and even VMware Workstation, player,... without a lot of changes.

• Maximum number of virtual machines by free ESXi hypervisor?

  Community of VMware,

  I just installed the free 5.5 ESXi hypervisor and I wonder if the same virtual machine limits apply to the stand-alone scenario as vCenter? Can I run actually 512 VMs? What, if any, is the maximum number of virtual machines, I can run on a free version of ESXi?

  From 5.5 ESXi limits most have been removed, but only a limit of 8 vCPU per VM remains. So if I'm wrong, the VM 512 mentioned for each host (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere5/r55/vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf) affect the free hypervisor.

• VMWare ESXi 4 on Dell R710 shows no other Intel Nic

  Hello

  I installed VMWare ESXi 4 on a new Dell R710 server with integrated Broadcom 4 Port NETWORK interface and a network card additional Intel 4 Port. In the Vsphere Client now I only see the NIC. Broadcom onboard

  

  The additional INTEL Nic does not appear upward.  But I can see VMWare ESXi 4 acknowledged the Intel NIC in Advanced Settings Configuration VMDirectPath.

  Any help with this would be great.

  Thank you

• Lack of disks when installing ESXi 4.0 on Dell R710

  I have a Dell R710. I created a Raid 5 with some virtual disks and initialized to them. When I try to install ESXi 4.0, in the select a disk screen, it displays: Disk0, provider: iDRAC; Type: usb; Size: 0.0 B; Empty: y

  No idea what I'm missing?

  It seems that this controller is supported from ESX 4U1 (build 208xxx) - who are you installed?

• Install ESXi on the SD card in Dell R710

  I get 2 servers Dell R710, MD3000i SAN and VMWare Infrastructure 3 Enterprise (with Virtual Center Foundation).  When you talk with the Dell Server specialist, he said that he would save us a lot of money on servers if I installed ESXi on a card SD of myself.  (you must get the level premium for the server support if you put ESXi embedded)

  First of all, I know that the card must be 1 GB or less, but I was wondering if there is a specific brand or model that would work better?

  In addition, can I put the card in, make the appropriate changes to the BIOS and install ESXi directly on the SD card on a CD?  Or, I have to install ESXi on the map with a workstation has a SD card reader and place it in the R710?

  I searched a bit and can only collect pieces on it.  Any help would be appreciated!

  The links should help you, but it will not be a supported installation.   I would also check to see if Dell provides a built-in ESXi recovery CD.  Have you checked to see if you can just order

• The number of cores in Windows Vista can support?

  Windows Vista is able to make full use of Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors?

  If not, the number of cores maximum Windows Vista can handle?

  Rannvijay Kapoor

  Hello

  Yes Vista can support all the people and all the kernels. Of course the material must also
  support for Vista that shouldn't really be a problem.

  Note here that Vista supports an unlimited number of hearts. There are limits on the
  the number of physical processors.

• Reference Dell R710, Dell and VMware VAAI MD3200

  Hi guys, we have 3 x Dell R710 hosts running VMware ESXi hypervisor v5.1. Our SAN is via Dell MD3200 Direct attached storage. We have activated the option of High Performance. My question is about VMware VAAI. In particular, the recommendation of VMware: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1033665 it says: "For more information on support VAAI in a particular storage group or required firmware levels, contact the storage array provider." So I'm wondering: is VAAI supported (or not) with the MD3200... and otherwise: should I be deactivation of VAAI settings as recommended by VMware? What are the potential implications for the performance of deactivation of VAAI... or support DO NOT turn it off? Thank you, Steve

  Indeed, you are using a fairly old firmware. The most recent is 07.84.53.60.

  To be able to upgrade to this version, you will need a version quite familiar of the MDSM. I would say to download 4.1.2.29 or later, which is 5.0.0.70. All servers Windows and Linux (not VMware or XenServer) server that manage and/or are connected via iSCSI SAN should have their MDSM, updated software before upgrade you the firmware on the raid on the SAN controller.

• Maximum number of imported Ldap users

  Hello, do someone knows if there is a maximum number of ldap users that I can import for users of the NSA 3600?

  If you talk to auth method change LDAP-Local user and have your username using their powers LDAP to authenticate the SonicWALL, so it's 300 users.  If you configure SINGLE sign-on, then you can have 500 con-current authenticated users.

  This information is based on equity 6.1 installed firmware. If you have installed 6.2 these numbers are slightly larger.

• The Dell R710 server upgrade to R2 2012 Windows

  Question for the forum:

  I have a Dell R710 server.  There a PERC 6 / i RAID card in there.  There are discs 5 x 2 TB on the PERC 6 / I configured in RAID-5 right now with the 6th disc as a 480 GB SSD.   I currently own WINDOWS 2012 R2 installed.   Windows 2012 sees the TB 5 x 2 as a 7.27 TB HDD and the 480 GB SSD as a second hard drive.

  I heard the Windows 2012 R2 storage solution is best.  I want to convert the TB 5 x 2 hard drives just so R2 2012 Windows can control it.  I have the following questions:

  1. What do I have to go in PERC 6 / I controller and remove the RAID 5 and create a virtual disk for each 2 TB as a RAID-0 disk drive so that Windows can see each as separate hard drive?

  2. each of the 2 TB is a SATA II drive.  PERC 6 / I can only support up to 2 TB to 3 Gbps.  What is the best way to do it?  Can I upgrade to SATA III drives or 6 Gbps?  This server which will support at all?  I have

  3. If I install a SATA III controller in the PCIe slot, how can I plug SATA III drives to the card.  All drives are connected to the server to forward now.

  4 If a disk fails, Dell R710 will still flash light orange on the forehead to show what defective hard drives?  People still hot to swap the drive?

  5. Windows 2012 R2 will be able to tell what defective hard drives?  With 5 x 2 to for the storage and 480 GB put in place in the SSD for tiered storage, which is the best way to configure it for performance?  Simple volume or mirror?  How many drives can fail until Windows cannot recover from the failure?

  Please advise on the best way to convert more software raid WINDOWS 2012 R2.  Thanks for the help in advance!

  1. This is the only way to make available to Windows as separate disks, as the PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD.

  2. the PERC 6 supports a maximum drive size of 2 TB. The material is limited to 3 Gbps. You can use 6 GB/s drives, but they will operate as discs 3 Gbps.

  3. you will need to connect a cable from the backplane to the new controller, instead of the 6 PERC. Backplane may not support 6 GB/s speed, if you plug a controller 6Gbps 6Gbps drives and they bind upward to 3 Gbps, that is why.

  4. Yes.

  5. Yes. How can fail depends on how you have set it up and how much data is there.

• Reference Dell r710 upgrade to the idrac-7.

  Hello

  I have a few with idrac6 express dell r710.

  I want to upgrade to version business to use the kvm console.

  I know who to buy Ent idrac6 material to replace.

  But I want to upgrate to business idrac7 instead off idrac6 Ent.

  Is able to upgrade to idrac7 Ent or just Ent r710 idrac6?

  Please advice!

  Thank you.

  anhhuyla @.

  Anhhuyla,

  The R710 will support not using the iDrac 7, as is logical is incorporated into the Gen 12 systems themselves. To improve the iDrac6 at the enterprise level, you must add the Works Council (part number K869T or J675T) seen below.

  

  This will allow the use of the console remotely.

  Let me know if it helps.
