PERC 6 / I imported foreign configuration is incorrect

Hi there, we have PowerEdge 2950 with ESX 3.5. Until our problem, we 4x750GB RAID 5 config. Week ago, we found that drive in location 1 is down, as usual remove us it and replaced again, next day there show that is to die. OK, in the PERC BIOS utility, it has been disconnected, next day we started backing up the data of the ESX Server, but during this process storage had disappeared from the ESX Server, after reboot THAT PERC told us that there is no RAID config and he held foreign config. We open the PERC BIOS utility and then import foreign config, but RAID level is now 10 (ie use discs 0,2,3) total storage size is 1.3 TB! We restart the server, ESX is running but with VM storage is missed :(

My question is, can I delete current VD of the PERC BIOS utility and create new VD with disk HARD 0,2,3 (1 is offline) RAID 5 without initializing it?

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

Mnemoic,

With Raid 5, after offline due to enter a foreign configuration, you should have wiped out foreigners. Now with the table as it is currently, what we need to do to get it back would be to start the Perc BIOS and "Retag" of the table. To do this, we recreate the table as it was configured initially, but less initialization. If you initialize the array after you configure, it would remove the data. So you have to hit F2 on the main page. Select Create VD. From there on, configure the Raid 5 with the same discs. Once you set up, and DO NOT INITIALIZE the array, then you will equip the server. While in offline mode, remove the drive which did not. Once the original failed drive is removed, the power of the server and see if it will boot the operating system normally.  If so, then I suggest to get a complete backup of the data. After that then make sure the Raid Controller is current on firmware and update if necessary. Once it's over, then reinsert the defective drive and see if it rebuilt. If this is not the case, then replace the drive.

Let me know if it helps.

  • How to add my 'fired' drive back to RAID1, PERC H710P and erase or foreign configurations...

    Hello

    I just got a PowerEdge T620. The OS is in RAID1 (two 256 GB SSD), controlled by a H710P PERC controller.

    When the computer was OFF, I took one of the discs, to see what it was the brand. (I bought the computer from a dealer and I wanted to just make sure I got what I paid for ). In any case, after you turn the computer back on, I noticed that the small screen at the front had changed color and showed a message. I checked the message and the computer seems to work with a disk in a single well. As it is supposed to.

    I decided to put the disc back in French - while the computer was OFF. I noticed, that at the start, the system is now saying:

    "Configuration foreign (s) found on adapter Press any key to continue, or 'C' load the configuration utility or the 'F' to import the foreign configuration (s) foreign and continue."

    I did a search on here and on Google and was able to find something that looks like a 'response' to me. However, as I have never done something like this before, I would like to ask you guys and see if I'm about to do the right thing!

    -When the system boots, press Ctrl-R.

    -I get to Setup BIOS card PERC H710P 4.00 utility - 0014

    -Then, I press 'Ctrl-N' until I get to the page "foreigners."

    -Once there, I insist on "PERC H710P adapter (Bus 5, Dev 0).

    -Once highlighted, I press 'F2 '.

    -After pressing 'F2', a window opens, which says 'Foreign Config'.

    -Then I press "ENTER" and another window opens with two options:

    'IMPORT' and 'CLEAR '.

    From what I have read, I need to select "DELETE?" Not sure if?

    Thank you

    p.s. I downloaded photographs showing the PERC BIOS...

    Yes, what you call after having done, you must DELETE it, and then assigned as a hot spare.  If you import it, you will damage your table

  • PERC 6 / I foreign configuration

    I have a Raid 5 running as usual, but add more space. When I added 3 new readers he invites me I have a foreign configuration.

    My question is if I import the configuration or to erase the configuration I'll lose my existing good running raid.

    Right. In VD MGMT, select controller, F2, foreign, clear. The new disks will then view under loan and you can create a new/separate with them or add them to your current table to decompress (if you are interested in the latter case, what size are the readers)?

    Carlos.

    Sorry about the wording, I use an online translator

    First defective discs have NO physical damage that can be seen by inspecting the disk. If a player shows physical damage - like fall - there is a very good likelihood that it is damaged internally and should not be used.

    I don't completely understand your situation (translator), but let me give you the rules:

    • IMPORT - ONLY import if the table is offline and there is more than one drive failed. You would also import if you move / drive in a system or a new controller bays.
    • CLEAR - ONLY clear if the table is online and functional. A drive may show as foreign if it breaks down or removed, or if a drive is added to the system, either as a replacement for a failed drive or add more capacity on the server.

    I don't see your picture, but the sounds of it, you have a table online with possibly a failed drive is now showing as foreign. IF this is the case, you want to DELETE the foreign configuration and then add the drive as a hot spare to start reconstruction. I ran the diagnostic on the drive before rebuild if, to make sure that it is healthy enough to be used.

  • Foreign configuration found

    It is on a desktop with a Controller PERC H310 T7400. Setup of this system was made when I bought the machine I have not changed. Recently, the unit restarted and is came with a message about a "foreign" Configuration I tried to understand exactly what this means and what to do about it. I believe that the machine has been implemented with a virtual drive and there was a kind of RAID implemented with the physical disk and the virtual drive. I am not sure what level of RAID 0 and 1. I'm hoping to recover the data on the hard drive, but I need help with what are the measures to be taken. I've included pictures of the screens I see currently regarding the trunk to the top, and installation. I'm looking for advice. Thanks for any help.

    Go to the foreign configuration tab highlight the controller. Press F2 for options. Foreign configuration options, import.

    Hello

    To be honest, I never encounter such a problem with the operating system, but first, I recommend trying to repair the operating system.

    Start Notepad, and then press F8. Then choose the option called to repair the computer.
    Now, you will see some options. Here I recommend to choose the first option called: Startup Repair.
    This option automatically solves the problems that prevent Windows to start.
    But I'm not quite sure if it's good enough for your problem with the system of m.

    If this is not enough, I would recommend reinstalling the Microsoft Works package.
