• T610, SAS 6/iR loses readers

  I had 2 tables RAID1, OS (Win 2008 R2) and data. I replaced the data with the larger disks, but when I went into the RAID he could see that one of the new disks, in addition to the matrix of the BONE. The reinstallation of the readers and try other machines from the backplane slot he finally saw the two new drives, but after the creation of the new matrix initialization failed and after restart of the controller was not detected NONE of the readers. Once again, after the removal of the disks, I finally found 2 connectors (2 and 3) where the controller detected readers OS original and determined that a RAID1 array, but it has been marked as inactive, and "Turn the table" is greyed out. The only option available is "Delete Array." And yet, it does not detect the 2 new drives.

  This means that the SAS 6/iR is dead (it is initialized when during startup) or perhaps a problem with backplane? Or is there something else I can try to get to see all the readers?

  Thank you

  Hello Dave

  dclaxon

  This means that the SAS 6/iR is dead (it is initialized when during startup) or perhaps a problem with backplane?

  I suspect one of these components are at fault. Everything worked very well until you added the two new drives. Remove the two new drives and see if the old parts work correctly without installing them.

  Faulty or incompatible hard drives can cause problems across the entire RAID. They can disrupt communication with the controller that can affect other drives connected to it.

  Thank you

• Cannot remove HARD disk configuration PERC 6i with use of the SAS drives foreign. Existing data are not important. Scratch reloading to redeploy the server.

  Dell Poweredge 2950 III with serial number note from the Admin: have the label removed according to the TOU > receipt readers traded since an identical poweredge almost eliminated. In the configuration of the PERC controller 0 6i utility, disk groups show as foreigners. Messages following the procedure to import the configuration, then remove before was not effective. The prior configuration appears in the menu.

  I would like to simply clean configurations of VD for the readers and the controller. After it is deleted then next step is to set up a configuration I want. My new Setup is not relevant for this post. The goal and the only question is how to clear existing shared disk configurations.

  VD0 clear addition to figure 2 SAS PD/hard drives as virtual disk unique. RAID levels 0, status is offline, SMART status not = no error, County VD = 1, PD = 2 count, operation = none

  Is a similar to VD0 VD1

  other berries are currently empty.

  For initial troubleshooting I have removed all the HARD drive except a single disk on the server. This disc shows also as stranger.

  In the PERC 6i config utility:

  VD MGMT doesn't show CONTROLLER0 - no configuration is present. Choice of the F2 are Config. Foreign config based on availability. (Create new VD and manage preserved Cache are greyed out) Right pane of the screen indicates "foreign Config present, controller prop.: DG = 0, County VD count = 0, County of PD = 1".

  PD MGMT shows only the formatted Mo 139 K SAS single, foreign = State, SMART status not is no mistake, operation = none

  VIEW FOREIGNERS shows DG0 = foreign, Virtual disk 255 with DG count = 1. County of VD = 1, County of PD = 1

  I installed 3 of the disks individually rotating as a single HARD drive with similar results.

  WITH 2 HDD SAS installed only difference is VD Mgmt shows County DG = 0, County VD = 0, County of PD = 2.   View foreign shows VD255 prop: Raid 0, Raid = foreign status, size = na, operation = none. | Disk prop group. : VD Count = 1, County of PD = 2, Ded HS = 0 (because it does not exist).

  Thanks Chris. Problem is solved. I would like to Flash the firmware as precautionary measure? Still confused why initial in the VD Mgmt tab procedure has failed.

  All readers of Restore tab PD-ready state.

• PowerEdge 2900 III RAID 10?

  Hello

  I have a server PowerEdge 2900 III with SAS 6/iR integrated (Embedded) and SATAu with two bays of 4 HDD int each Bay.

  I would like to install 8 1 TB SATA HARD drive each and make a RAID 10 for all HDD 8 configuration in total, I will have a 4 TB storage.

  Is it possible to do so as PERC 6/iR has two separate connectors?

  Thank you

  AG

  First, it is important to know what controller you have.

  SAS 6/iR can RAID 0 and 1 (and JBOD).

  The PERC 6 / i can do what you are wanting.

  RAID can be configured through the connectors without any problem.

• Controller SCSI Raid ESXi 5.5 recommendation

  I'm moving the ESXi 5.5 to another server by using the following:

  
  

  Server Dell R610 with 12G of ram and a Dell PowerVaul 220 s Raid 5 with 12, space 1, 5 - T HD sata

  The Raid Controller is a Intel SRCU42E Ultra320 SCSI PCI-Express X 8 with ext 2 x 68pin ports.

  
  

  I get the error ' call 'HostDatastoreSystem. " 'Of object' CreateVmfsDatastore 'ha-datastoresystem' on ESXi when you try to add storage. I even installed 5.1 but with the same results.

  
  

  Later, after much research and troubleshooting, as well as headaches, I discover that the SCSI Raid card was not compatible with ESXI 5.1, 5.5 only with 4.1 or 4.0

  I begin to scan the cards SCSI RAID but difficult to get one with the above specifications that could be compatible with ESXI 5.5

  
  

  Run out of tricks and do not have the ability to turn the Dell PowerVault 220 s

  May suggest a SCSI Raid PCI - e card with a port Ext. 68pin compatible 5.1 to 5.5? All of the recommendations, difficulty, work around?

  Thank you

  ESXi 5.5 system requirements

  When you install or upgrade to ESXi 5.5, ensure that the host meets these minimum hardware configurations supported by ESXi 5.5:

  1. Your equipment is compatible on the VMware Compatibility Guide. This includes:
  • Systems compatibility
  • Compatibility I/O (network adapters and HBAS)
  • Storage compatibility
  • Backup software compatibility
• You have a 64-bit processor. VMware ESXi 5.5 only installs and runs on 64-bit x 86 CPU servers. He argues also that LAHF and SAHF CPU instructions.
• You have a computer with at least two hearts 5.5 ESXi host.
• The NX/XD bit is set for the CPU in the BIOS.
• Your processor is supported. ESXi supports a wide range of x 64 of multicore. For a complete list of taken processors supported,
• You have 4 GB of RAM. This is the minimum required to install ESXi 5.5. Provide at least 8 GB of RAM to take full advantage of the features of ESXi and run virtual machines in typical production environments.
• Support for hardware virtualization (Intel VT - x or AMD RVI) is enabled on x 64 CPU (to support 64-bit virtual machines). For a complete list of operating systems that are supported with ESXi, hosts running virtual machines with 64-bit operating systems have these hardware requirements:
  • For AMD Opteron systems, processors must be Opteron Rev E or later.
  • For Intel Xeon systems, processors must include support for Intel Virtualization Technology (VT). Many servers which may include processors with VT support VT disabled by default, so you have to manually enable VT. If your CPU support VT, but you do not see this option in the BIOS, contact your provider to request a version of BIOS that allows to enable VT support.

    Note: to determine if your server has 64-bit VMware support, download The utility of Identification of CPU on the VMware site.

• You have one or more Gigabit or 10 GB Ethernet controllers. For a list of network adapter models supported, refer to the VMware Compatibility Guide.
• You with any combination of one or more storage controllers are:
  • Basic SCSI controllers. Adaptec Ultra-160 or Ultra-320, LSI Logic Fusion-MPT and most NCR/Symbios SCSI.
  • RAID controllers. Reference Dell PERC (Adaptec RAID and LSI MegaRAID) RAID HP Smart Array or IBM ServeRAID controllers (Adaptec).
• You have a SCSI drive or a local, off-grid, RAID LUN with unpartitioned for VMS space.
• For Serial ATA (SATA), a drive connected through taken SAS controllers supported or supported integrated SATA controllers. SATA drives are supposed to be remote, no premises. These discs are not used as a partition to scrape by default because they are too far away.

  Note: you cannot connect a SATA CD-ROM device to a virtual machine on a host ESXi 5.5. To use the SATA CD-ROM device, you must use the IDE emulation mode.

• You use a supported storage system. ESXi 5.5 supports the installation and start-up of these storage systems:
  • SATA drives. SATA drives connected behind the SAS controllers supported or SATA controllers support built-in.
    • LSI1068E (LSISAS3442E)
    • LSI1068 (SAS 5)
    • IBM ServeRAID 8K SAS controller
    • Smart Array P400/256 controller
    • 5.0.1 Dell PERC controller
  • SATA drives. Support SATA edge include:
    • Intel ICH9
    • NVIDIA MCP55
    • ServerWorks HT1000

  Note: ESXi does not support using SATA internal disks local to the host server to create VMFS stores of data that is shared between multiple ESXi hosts.

• You have disks Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) supported for ESXi 5.5 installation and to store virtual machines in VMFS partitions.
• You have dedicated disk SAN Fibre Channel or iSCSI.
• You have USB devices supported for ESXi installation.
• You can install and start ESXi a FCoE LUN using VMware software FCoE adapters and network with FCoE adapters discharge capacity
. See the documentation for storage for more information about installing and initializing ESXi with vSphere FCoE software.

• SCSI driver selectio VM version 7

  Hello

  I'm trying to find a consensus of the SCSI adapter to use, the operating system we have is Win2k3 WIn2k8 SP2, Win2k8 R2.

  For the system OS disk what is the SCSI driver that is recommended for this partition, I read some documents that mention;

  -drive system (Vmware Paravirtual) is not supported, so I guess that's out of the question for c:\ then to d:\ I assume that VMware paravirtual is recommended as it gives the best results.

  - but then for C:\ whats the recommended for Win2k3/wk8 'LSI logic SAS' or 'LSI Logic parallel' we do not use any Windows cluster or other simple stand-alone servers.

  -In addition to d:\ phsycial RDM I assume because I also use "Vmware Paravirtual" for better performance

  fix?

  In addition, once I changed my SCSI driver according to doco.

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1010398

  How can I confirm OS, I use this driver for the disk D:\?

  Thank you very much

• Win 2008 R2 X 64 - HDD SCSI problem

  Hello

  I tried the version of VMware Workstation 7, and I found a very strange problem.

  I downloaded the iso rating of the Site Microsoft's Windows 2008 R2 x 64.

  When I create a new virtual machine, select compatibility, and then select the type of the operating system to install, select Windows Server 2008 x 64 rx.

  When I start the virtual machine for operating system installazioe can not find the HARD drive has returned the error that cannot find the Disc.

  When creating the VM, I left everything on recommendations, here I find myself with: LSI Logic SAS (Reccomanded) and SCSI (Reccomanded).

  I tried to go with sharing usb drivers, to find the driver but not install.

  LSIMPT_SCSI_W2k8_1.28.03.zip - LSI logic-

  LSImpt_SAS_SRV08_P16_13002.zip - LSI logic SAS-

  Workstation 7 (trial version) is installed on Windows XP 32-bit and the BIOS I've activated the VT from Intel.

  I think that the driver that is required is for the CD - not for SCSI drives.

  This happens every two days - first has the correct size of ISO?

  There was no end of corrupt downloads reports

• 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.

• SAS expander backplane directly reduce in SATA mode?

  I have a C6220 II with an Expander backplane of 2.5 ". However, I don't need performance of fast storage in this machine and want to use the PCI slot for something else, so I thought to remove the RAID controller and attach directly to the controller of the motherboard, which takes only supported SATA. My drives are SATA, rather than SAS, but I understand that this will not work because the controller should support SAS to use the Extender.

  I was wondering if it is possible to change a setting, perhaps a rider, to allow backplane running in SATA mode directly, rather than as an Expander, so that I can use the direct connection of motherboard? I only need two drives from the node, then I don't need to use the expander control.

  Thank you.

  Tentonin,

  There are no jumpers to move for this, you need to replace backplane with version 2.5 live Backplane part # WC17M (below)

  That will allow you to connect directly 24 SAS/SATA ports to 24 2.5 "SATA/SAS drives. Because it is a passive basket background, it does not support the flexible allocation of hard drives at the nodes; each node in the chassis will get an equal share.

  Let me know if it helps.

• 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?

  Jeffe

  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.

• Cisco C240-M4SX / 12G SAS Embedded Raid Controller Queue depth Reporting resulting in ESXi 6.0

  All,

  We have been a customer of vSAN VMware 6.0 for the last 6 months of our environment entirely on servers of Cisco C240 M4SX with the Cisco 12 G SAS integrated Raid Controller.   Everything in the environment was working well until we started to bring in data warehouse loads in the environment and began to notice performance around latency of disk and most important issues still outstanding IO high.  After that ESXtop and ESXCFG examination we found that the length of the queue announced to the adapter ESXi has been only 234 however the VMware HCL Announces 895; 234 is below minimum spec of 256 to correctly implement vSAN.  We have worked diligently with VMware on it to try different versions certified and non certified driver async for this raid controller in addition to the most recent firmware for the raid controller.  Regardless of the change of the depth of the queue remained 234.  The presence of FBWC affect the depth of queue announced to the operating system?  VMware support has indicated that it is clearly a problem "hardware".  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

  Greetings.

  Had the chance to spend some time in the laboratory and removed the cache module.

  After that, I now get "207", so I would say it's confirmed that 1,2,4 GB cache modules are used to increase the depth/length of the queue for these controllers.
