• R210 with PERC H200 will increase the possibilities for HD

  I have a PE R210 w/PERC H200.  The RAID configuration is RAID 1 2 HD.  I was looking at options to increase the storage capacity.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that it is not possible to extend the VFD by improving each hd one at a time to rebuild the RAID VD, then its extension to occupy unused space in HD.  There is no other HD slots available on the R210, along with options to do I have if I want to keep the current VD but increase the storage space on the server?

  Backup, replace the disks with the biggest, configure RAID, restore from a backup.

• RAID 1 on PERC H200 showing the two failure predicts hd

  I have a Poweredge R210 with Raid 1 on a PERC H200 controller.  I ran the task of consistency check on the disk virtual and got a bunch of error ID 2350 reading the newspaper of alerts:

  There was an error of irrecoverable during the rebuild disk media or recovery operation

  -they have been saved to disk 0 and disk 1. Is it possible to rebuild the mirror on that?  Both hard drives are showing "failure foretold" in OMSA.  From what I can tell, replace a hard drive at the same time does not work, as resynchronization will fail.

  Ashevis,

  You are currently able to boot on the table? If yes then we run a Dset on the server to check the log of raid controllers. It might actually be a punched tape of parity. That's when the bad blocks of failure provided are rebuilt on the remaining good disks. That is what can cause both be showing predicted failure. Now, it may be also that readers just hit the threshold at about the same time and scored them both. We will be able to say that, with the controller log.

  If it's a punched tape of parity, then you will need to recreate the table and the operating system and restore from a backup. No doubt.

  If it's just that they are marked and then he would have a chance of recovery by rebuilding each, but there is always a risk of failure pred transfer of bad blocks, during reconstruction, the new disk. What causes a puncture.

  So, in summary, that the best course of action would be to backup the data, recreate and do a restore.

• PERC H200 RAID driver

  Buenos dias,

  Estoy mirando comprar a servidor para the tests, y queria choice esta controladora PERC H200, pero leei as bajo VMWARE EX 4.1 no rinde muy nice, alguien a tenido the experience?

  MUCHAS gracias

  The H200 controller does not support BBU (battery write cache stamped) which is absolutely necessary for disk performance on ESX (i) with local storage VMFS data warehouses. No matter what controller you get make sure there the fallback option.

• PowerEdge T110 II/PERC H200 drive Expansion Question

  We have a server PowerEdge T110-11 with two 600 GB 15K SCSI disks in a RAID 1 configuration via a PERC H200 controller.  This server is used in a production environment.  We want to add an extra internal drive on the server, but the readers (or reader) not be used for archival purposes.  Check-in will be only done periodically at defined intervals.  The plan of production a need for speed and redundancy of the RAID/SCSI setting.  The drive to check-in will not.  I don't know what is supported by the PERC H200 beyond two units SCSI that we have.  How would you recommend that we do that?  Should we buy two SATA drives and use them in a RAID 1 configuration as we have for SCSI drives?  All readers are saved on a Dell RD1000 disk cartridge system, in a way.  I don't know if we need RAID for this disk to archive, because it will be backed up regularly.  Others grow here to use an external USB drive for archiving, due to their very low cost.

  Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer.

  Hello.

  Support-T110 II up to 6 hard drives. It wouldn't hurt to implement these drives in RAID 1 or RAID 5 (for more than 2 disks) configuration just in case of failure before the archive is saved. If your archive is not so important, you can set the drives in RAID 0.

• BSOD drives when adding T110 ii with PERC H200 and SBS 2011 or Server 2008 R2-

  Bought the server next in November 2011

  PowerEdge T110 II

  ManufDate: 24/10/2011 market: 06/11/2011
  RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4) 1333 mhz UDIMM DualRanked
  Processor: Xeon E3-1270 3.4 Ghz, 8 M cache, Turbo, Quad Core/8 t (80W)
  RAID: Map Perc H200
  Drive: 2 x 600GB 15K RPM SCSI 6Gbps 3 .5in - RAID 1 Mirror SA
  SBS 2011 standard x 64 (works on Win 2008R2)

  SBS 2011 installed without a problem and the server works perfectly since December 2011.  Backups occurring twice per day to a USB attached hard drive external 1.5 to and OS patches applied on a monthly basis without problem.

  Company need more storage so it wanted to add 2 drives more (same spec as to purchase). I thought to try to turn the RAID 1 pair in RAID 10 set in order to keep the simple logical configuration (a single large logical volume which now seems to be 1.2 TB in size instead of 600 GB) - could get but not really someone to describe if it could be done for non-destructive way that requires not the complete system installation/restoration - so opted for just add the 2 new drives as a RAID extra 1 pair in order to not reach a stable, boot, partition operating system running on the current RAID 1 pair.

  Contracted for the Dell technician to come out to install 2 new readers, be clear that the service was not complete until I had an extra pair of RAID 1, appearing as a usable operating system.

  Technician arrived, installed readers, set the new RAID pair in the H200 configuration utility, rebooted the system and when the BONES began to load had a blue screen BSOD. Technician then disconnected drives newly associated (the level of the cables) to see if the system would boot - BSOD again on restart (both of now get us this "pleated" feel if you know what I mean). Then went into the raid configuration utility, removed the new raid 1 volume (which, by the way, is appeared above the one existing in the list - which is not very intuitive that one that has been added is Volume 1 and the existing old is Volume 2 in the utility). After the triple-checking that we had the right volume (it showed that 8% initialized over the other which was complete, as well as the corresponding drive port numbers), we have REMOVED the new volume (at this point I don't remember if we had replaced the cables for the readers to perform this action).

  At startup the system rebooted normally - we were all so relieved, don't talk over retries at the moment.

  Talk to Dell there seems to be a problem with the PERC H200 firmware or drivers. Has not affected the config initial of a single pair of RAID 1, however caused problems when you attempt to add another pair. Escalation of Dell support said that has happened several times with Windows 2008 (which comes from the SBS 2011) systems. They recommended that the firmware update and the PERC H200 card drivers.

  I turned to the technician and asked when we could plan the updates of the firmware and driver and told him that they wouldn't do that (not sure that I blame the poor guy, he was sweating bullets after the BSOD 2nd).  I explained that we have contracted for installation services which included ensuring that the pair of extra disk appeared also usable for the operating system and he said that I needed to talk to Dell that.

  You wanted to post information on issues with PERC H200 BSOD when adding disks on Win2008 (or SBS 2011).

  Waiting for response from Dell as to who will come on-site to complete the installation.

  Any info about the question to know if the update of the firmware/driver will solve the problem or if I can do with reliability a disk 2 RAID 1 for a 4 disk RAID 10 conversion without having to reinstall/restore system would be appreciated.

  There is NO migration route TO or FROM a nested RAID levels (10, 50, 60) on one of the PERC H series, so it goes from 1 to 10 of RAID is not an option (without backup/replace/create/restore).

  Firmware release notes do not indicate that a large part is added (although the "bugs" may be enough):

  -Addition of Support for > 2.2 to SAS hard drives

  -Small bug fixes

  I have not seen/heard talk of this problem (I don't have a H200), but it is possible that an update of the firmware can change the way it handles the new disks, newly configured RAID arrays, or even how it presents to the OS.

  Do you know if the technician checked to see if the original VD was marked as boot VD?

• PowerEdge T310 - PERC H200 RAID1

  Hi all

  Bit of a newbie when it comes to RAID configurations in servers and wanted to ask a question.
  We have a server with a raid Perc H200 controller and 2 x 250 GB SATA HDD, which has the OS and 2 x 500 GB SATA HDD data/file sharing, both configured in Raid 1
  to provide redundancy. My question is, we want to replace drive HARD 2 x 500 GB with 2x2TB readers.
  I'll be able to replace the first 500 GB drive with the largest one, reconstruction can replace the second disc. The new 2 TB HARD drive will always appear as a 500 GB and if so, what can do to increase capacity.

  Thank you

  Charles

  If you replace each disc and wait that he rebuild, your table will always be 500 GB, and there is no way to use the extra space.  You will need to backup your 500 GB RAID 1, remove the drives, insert larger disks, configure RAID 1, restore the data.

• RAID configuration on sa120?

  Hello

  I have just purshcased a sa120, intedning to attach it to a dell poweredge server. the server running esxi, and I installed a map UCS-70 sas of dell for the connection. I want power raid that the sa120 disks in a couple of redundant disks, but the dell perc does not see the sas card or readers, even if the bios picks up the card.

  VMWare can see the cards and readers, if I start on the VCenter server in a virtual machine in the physical box, but he sees only 12 distinct disks.

  What I can do, or what do I need to RAID the readers in the sa120 together, to show that some records searched to esxi/vmware?

• PowerEdge 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

  OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

  I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

  The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

• T110-II w / Perc H200, using consumer SSD RAID1

  We just took in a T110-II with controller Perc H200 RAID addon

  We want to use it as follows:

  2 x SAS k 10 600 GB HDD RAID 1 (DATA)

  2 x SATA SSD 120 GB RAID 1 (START of the OS)

  Now the SAS 10 k in car I am able to create the RAID 1 volume, but when I try to create the SSD RAID 1 volume he always tells me that there is a problem writing in non-volatile memory.  The menu of the controller goes on a 'lag' super slow mode.  Requires a reboot, but then it get stuck at the 'screen of boot... '. ».  The only way to return to the menu of Perc H200 is to unplug all SSD.

  The SSD that I use ARE consumer Kingston KC300 level I also bought from Dell.

  What I am doing wrong?

  mbze430

  Question 1: where is a HCL for the H200, it I have a reference on the next command.

  http://Accessories.us.Dell.com/SNA/genselector.aspx?c=us&CS=04&l=en&manufact=694&s=BSD&sType=7&DGC=IR&CID=274098&lid=5124587&family=PowerEdge%20Servers

  This is not a complete list. You must call spare parts if the drive you are looking for is not available online.

  mbze430

  Question 2: The firmware to start for the H200 said that it is 7.15.xxxx is that correct?  Cause, I'm looking at the technical support from Dell and the version number of the firmware is much smaller.

  What is listed as the firmware version in the newspapers during the process of our PERCs controller initialization and controller is generally not what we call the version of the firmware. He is usually listed as the version of the package by the controller.

  Thank you

• 2950 PE + PERC 6 / I and RAID recovery

  Hi, I'm new on PowerEdges. You are looking for a little direction in case we ever encounter hard drive problems. We receive a couple of 2950 III server that will run 6 ESXi and hosting a number of virtual machines. I intend to create RAID 1 or 5 berries.

  Lets say that a record in the table don't die, is recovering is easy to install a new drive and put it as a hot spare?

  The other big question is, what happens if one of the PERC 6 / I cards to die and I need to replace the card or I move the drives to the other server. How could I go to safely recreate the RAID configuration for drives WITHOUT losing data? It's one that worries me the most, and I can't find a real answer to online.

  I know that the RAID should never be used as a substitute for appropriate backups, but if it is possible to recreate the table with all the data intact, that would be amazing.

  Thank you!

  Hello
  If a drive dies and replace you it, he must rebuild without having to set it as a hot spare. If the controller dies, the RAID are stored on disks and they present themselves as a foreign configuration or a replacement controller and which could be imported and used.

• PowerEdge T110II - Dell Perc H200

  Is there a chance to use at the same time SAS and SATA HDD on the Dell Perc H200 controller installed in the PowerEdge T110II? Currently I 3xSATA HARD drive and I thought to add additional SAS HDD, so is it possible that controller to be taken in charge this kind of configuration.

  end

  HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

  Hello

  Ok. You have changed the RAID settings in the BIOS.
  In my opinion, you can use the CD of restoration with the default RAID settings in the BIOS.
  I mean that the RAID driver on the recovery cd was preinstalled and you have changed the settings RAID in the BIOS for the recovery CD did not work properly.

  Do not mix the original Windows CD from Microsoft with the recovery CD. The CD-ROM of Microsoft the RAID driver is not, but on the recovery CD.

  I checked the Qosmio manual I found on the Toshiba site.
  If you want to install the original WinXP you must safe the RAID driver on the floppy.
  In addition the in table settings BIOS RAID, make sure that the built-in HDD is set to 1RAID-0.

  The RAID in the BIOS configuration settings are described as follows:
  JBOD - parameters without RAID, Windows cannot be installed on this drive except by using the recovery CD/DVDs.
  1RAID-0 - compatible set RAID. Windows can be installed on the drive
  2RAID-0 - 0 for 2 hard drives RAID set
  RAID 1 -RAID-1 set for 2 hard drives (current only)
  UNKNOW - State RAID except the State and settings (State only) above
  No. Drive - no hard drive connected

  If you accept the settings you must type a string: 1,2,3,4 then enter. At the end you must save all change in the BIOS.

  You have suggested that you have the German language. If you want to read the manual in English you can download it from the site.

• HP ENVY 750-170se: cannot access the RAID configuration via Ctrl + i on startup

  I activated the RAID in BIOS > Storage Options > SATA emulations.

  There are 2 drives HARD correspondents attached to the SATA 2 ports & 3.

  At startup the Intel Rapid Storage screen shows the two discs. It shows the prompt to hit "Ctrl + I" to enter setup.

  However: when I hit, stand or mash Ctrl + I, before, during and after the screen from the IRS, it never penetrates RAID installation.

  What keeps me to enter RAID configuration menu?

  Is there some SATA ports I need the HARD drive to be attached to the?

  Motherboard is the model 2B4B, verson A0.11 BIOS

  Based on this post I tried to use Intel Rapid Storage to make the RAID. TSRI was not installed/available in Windows so I donwloaded it... during the installation I was told there was a newer version already installed (which is weird because I couldn't access it).

  TSRI in Windows made the RAID volume. No need to enter during POST/boot.
