PERC 310 RAID 0 with drive in foreign State

I "inherited" a T5600 with PERC H310 controller with two 500 GB drives, put in place by a former employee in RAID 0 (at least from what I can tell - I don't know why he chose the RAID 0).  After a recent audit of security disk 0 is the 'foreign' State on the screen of PD Mgnt and Drive 1 is online.  I searched and found a lot of info on how to import or clear the foreign configuration, but I don't understand this option when you press F2 on any page.  I can't tell if Drive 1 is bad or just considered "foreign" because they took the cable.  I was not present during the audit, and I'm beginning to wonder if they pulled the cable while the system worked.  He seemed fine after their verification, until I got IO errors when you access certain partitions (Oracle Linux 6.3).  After a reboot, I went into the BIOS H310 config and saw the following:

The VD Mgmt page showed only the disk 0, RAID 0 group (no virtual disk or foreign Physics).

The foreign view page States:

  • Disk group: 0, RAID 0
  • ID of the virtual disk: 1GB 465,25
  • Disc 01Physics: online: 465,25 GB
  • Disk group: 1, RAID 0
  • Virtual disk ID: 0, 465,25 GB
  • Disk physical 00: online: go 465,25 (foreigner)

The virtual and physical disk for Disk Group 1 properties are grayed out.

The PD Mgmt page shows 00 foreign State and drive 01 State online

I tried swapping the cables and saw the following changes:

The foreign view page States:

  • Disk group 0, RAID 0
  • Virtual disk ID 1, Go 465,25
  • Disk physical 00: online: 465,25 GB
  • Disk group: 1, RAID 0 (foreigners)
  • Virtual disk ID: 0, 465,25 GB
  • Disc 01Physics: online: go 465,25 (foreigner)

Yet once, 1 group of virtual disk and physical properties are grayed out.

The PD Mgmt page shows 00 State online and drive 01 foreign State

Do I have a bad disc or just a bad virtual drive?  Y at - it a hope of recovering without reinstalling?  Still, I do not get the ability to import on any page of the configuration of the BIOS H310.

Thank you.

AZ_Traveler,

You will need to do is to import the foreign configuration. To do this, you will need access to the controller, after, you will be on the VD MGMT page. From there highlight the controller in the list above, once highlight then hit the "F2" and select foreign Config. From there, you'll need to import the foreign Configuration.

After this can access the OS and see if i/o errors continue.

Let me know how it goes.

  • PERC 5i - RAID 5 with 3 drives shows 2 missing discs?

    I have a PE2900 with a PERC 5i, the first volume is a RAID 5 with three disks.  This morning the Controller PERC says two of the drives (MAXTOR SAS 68 GB 10 K rpm) are missing.

    Is it normal to lose two discs at the same time accurate?  Or would it be the controller going wrong?

    Is there anyway to test these discs without breaking the virtual disk?  Or am I out of luck of losing two of the three disks in a RAID 5?

    Then on the VD MGMT screen, highlight the controller at the top left, F2, foreign Import.

    He must move one of the stranger online and leave the other failed... things leave until you can confirm the operating system starts and is ok, then you can rebuild the remaining disk.

  • Qosmio F60 - stop slower and a blue screen with driver out of State

    Hello
    I've only had the F60 for a few weeks and although it worked well for 2 weeks, 2 days has been a disaster. First AutoCAD crashes during startup and does not at all.
    So, my Outlook 2007 do not meet 1 / 3 times.
    Finally, whenever I stop, this is a very slow stop (10-20 minutes) and then blue screens, restarts and says that it is a driver fault status.

    Help - what someone else had these problems?

    You'll be lucky if someone else uses the same software as you and you can check this.
    My personal opinion is that all of the problems described are certainly software related issues.

    We do not know how you set up your laptop, what modules are preinstalled, software that runs in the background and all other important info is not easy to discuss these issues.

    I'm sure that you do not have these problems on the first day, right?

    I know you hate me now, but maybe you should back up all your important data and install the OS to help original Toshiba recovery image. After having this software to remove all the preinstalled you do not need (additional Toshiba stuff) and continue with the installation of Microsoft Office. Check the functionality and continue to install your favorite step by step software and watch carefully what happens.

    Also disable automatic Windows Update and change this option to check for updates but let me choose... option. So, you will have full control over updates.

  • PERC H700 RAID 5, 3 disks, 1 Reporting failed and 1 predictive failure

    Hello:

    I have a PowerEdge T410 with a PERC H700, RAID 5 with 3 disks.  The controller reported a failed drive so I replaced the week last with a drive of new/refurbished.  Now only 1 week later it reported another drive has failed and the drive replaced as predictive failure.  Looks suspicious, i.e. I am doubting the controller card.

    I think updating the firmware of the controller first, but not sure if I should replace the faulty drive first, i.e. If updating the firmware could cause table failure.

    Also, if I install OpenManage on a virtual machine (host is ESXi 4.1), OM sees the controller?

  • How to erase the hard drive, foreign State in T630 with H730 PERC controller

    I recently bought a Poweredge T630 Server computer configured with a PERC H730 controller and two 1 TB SATA (raid 1) drives.

    The controller H730 being compatible with no dell certified readers, I bought 2 WD red label records to add more storage space.  The problem I have is it H730 one of the 2 WD drives senses as a 'foreign' drive  Under "available tasks", I see only two options, "Blink" and "Unblink.  Unlike other HDD WD, the controller does not allow me even an option to convert the capable RAID drive.  This only happens to one of the two WD drives. The WD with 'Foreign State' drive is not defective or damaged.  How can I clear the foreign flag on one of the two WD drives so that I can convert the two disks in RAID ready status.

    Hello

    You have a foreigners view tab when you are in the bios H730? If you do, you should be able to use ctrl + N to access this screen, select the controller, press F2 and go to foreign config and have the ability to clear the foreign configuration.

  • Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

    Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

    You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

  • Reference Dell T610 with 5 hard drive problem (5x2TB) while create RAID 5 with all the HARD drive. :(

    Dear Sir.

    While I have already configured the RAID 5 with 5 disks, then the OS (windows 2008 R2) installation step I saw 2 separate partitions. and can I install it on the partition with only 2 TB. Another, we can't. So during my installation completed OS, then I can use only 2 TB, for another volume is about 5 TB can't do anything. Can I do the RAID 5 with 5 disks (10 TB)?

    I wait your helpful to my set.

    Thank you.

    silamay
    This is new server, there is not any data yet so I can reinstall. What I want is that I just want to RAID 5 until I started my DC project. I already look for how to convert to GPT, but I'm not at all.  I know that I can't convert GPT as the OS in the same disk but that is because I try to configure RAID 5 and OS, but while over OS I do not see another 5 to just see only 2 TB.

    I don't understand most of what you wrote.  You must activate the UEFI (below), then convert to GPT before installing Windows.

    How can I install on a UEFI system?

    The T610 supports UEFI, but must be allowed.  Start the BIOS (F2) Setup and change the boot mode in the UEFI instead of BIOS/inheritance.

    Your alternative is to create a RAID 5 using all disks, but the definition of the size as something as small as 2 to, then another RAID 5 with space remaining.  Each table will be displayed in Windows as a separate 'drive' - you can then install normally in the smallest 'drive '.

  • PowerEdge T-420 with Perc 310 - how do controller ports relate to the physical disks

    I understand that Perc 310 has two connectors for SAS, each controller has four ports.  However, I can't end on how they relate to real disk slots in the bottom of basket.

    We will have four disks raid 1 + 0, and I want to make sure they are properly prepared so that if a channel controller fails it has the right mix of disks on the other channel continues to run.

  • ESXi4.1 installed on USB can't see raid 5 with storage 6TBs drive

    Hello

    I installed ESXi4.1 on a usb key, the server has a configuration raid 5 with 6 TB of storage. As we all know Vmware will see LUN 2 TB minus 512 b. How can I create LUNS over there? People mention extensions is there a way to do this. I am not concerned if it is supported so that it works.

    Any help appreciated.

    Thank you

    Welcome to the community - according to the RAID card you have to go to the hardware RAID card BIOS and create logical Volumes that are below the limit of 2 TB.

  • SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

    We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

    Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

    htc2010
    is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

    You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

    In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

  • I can create RAID 0 with the Satellite A200-23 s

    Hello!
    -----
    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s.
    This laptop has two (200 GB) HARD drives.
    Can I create RAID 0 with this HARD drive?
    -----
    P.S. Sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    First you must know that the A200 doesn t series support RAID technology!
    Therefore, the RAID-0 is not possible.

    The phone supports 2 hard drives, but you cannot use RAID settings.
    The two hard drives can be used separately and independent of each other

  • RAID - 1 with 10.11.3 No longer editing

    Hello

    I created a Raid 1 with two drives of 6 TB using the disk through the Terminal commands. Everything worked well.  I've just updated to 10.11.3 and now the reader rises at all.  I looked in the disk utility, and he could not see. I ran the diskutil list command in the terminal and she also could not see the disks.

    Any idea what would cause this?

    My system disk is also a Raid created with disk... utility and it works fine. It is built with two ssds on a PCIe Sonnet Raid 0 card.

    I have a Time Machine backup of the system drive. Should I restore to before the update to fix the problem? If all goes well, there must be a solution. I can't have to 6 worth of material disappearing every time that comes out an update.

    Thank you!

    Well, then the drive is showing now.

    I realized that a reboot was not enough to completely turn off readers and then turn again.

    When I tried to restart the other night, it still does not show upward. I tried to reboot in safe mode and it didn't work either. I turned my computer off... went to work... came home and it was fine.

    My graphics card has a reboot that requires a reboot. When it restarted the car was missing again. I stopped and started place... and the car was back.

    Weird... but solved.
