• PowerEdge R310 Perc S300 Raid 10

  I'm trying to set up a PowerEdge R310 with a Perc S300 and 4 x 2 TB drives and raid 10 server r2 2012.

  I set up the raid 10 by pressing the R command during startup.  It implements the fine.  I then put in my dvd openmanage systems management and run the installer.  This is where the problem begins.  with all the 4 - 2 TB drives and raid 10, I should have 4 TB of hard drive space, and it is only showing 2 TB.

  I canceled the installation, rebooted and changed the UEFI BIOS.  the problem here is with the UEFI boot, server does not start on a dvd, instead, it starts directly to flash disk (this is where the BONE is).  It works fine too, but at the beginning of the installation, he said: "we have found all the readers" and it wants me to install the drivers.  I sail to openmanage dvd and can not find the drivers.

  once more I cancel the installation.  I switch back to normal UEFI bios, openmanage dvd start and try and reconfigure raid of openmanage.  everything sets up very well, but in the end of the process when it prepares the files, it gives me an error saying ' deployment failed due to: Boot controller culd details can not be retrieved ", and my only option is to restart.

  I reboot and start all over again.

  My only option so far is to install NO UEFI and don't have 2 TB of hard drive space, but I really want to use all 4 to.

  Help, please!

  The OpenManage DVD has no drivers in the format you need for use during a manual of OS installation - you need to get them from the support.dell.com site (or ftp.dell.com - you need the hard / ZPE file version).

  Have you checked the UEFI boot options? You should be able to boot from a DVD using the UEFI. And what do you mean that you can start only "directly to the flash drive? If you can start on a flashdrive in UEFI mode, then why not install Windows from a flash drive? And what do you mean "this is where the BONE is?

• PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

  PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

  3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

  RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

  All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

  The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

  Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

  Is this a software problem? Firmware?

  Suggestions of help appreciated!

  Best,

  James

  Hello James

  I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

  If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

  Thank you

• How to disable integrated PERC S300 controllers and connect hard drives directly onboard SATA

  Hello

  I bought new servers, two of them came with PERC S300 controllers. When I tried to install Linux (CentOS) on this subject, the system could not see the RAID!

  After some research, I noticed that it is Windows specific (fake RAID)

  I want to disable this controller and connect my hard drives directly to the main card SATA connectors and implement a software RAID under Linux.

  What I need is:

  What cables I need to order for this?

  Thank you

  When I picked my servers and decided on their specifications, this note (red) was not on the site, and I am sure about that because I have not all Windows servers on my network.

  Now that I ordered and received them, I'm looking for a solution.

  I ordered this kit: Dell PowerEdge HDD DATA CABLE KIT DP/N C450M CN-0C450M

  

  I will receive next week. I hope that this will help me get around this annoying problem.

• The PERC S300 controller replacement

  I want to upgrade a server PowerEdge R310 Windows Server 2008 R2 to R2 2012. Unfortunately the PERC S300 is not supported and I could not find the necessary drivers.

  I found that PERC H700 has the correct drivers and is compatible with the R310, can anyone confirm that please?

  Are there cheaper alternatives? Otherwise, I think I have to disconnect the PERC controller and connect the drives to the internal SATA ports, but then I have 4 independent drives with no RAID either because the PERC S100 embedded is not as well supported... (is there a SW raid solution?)

  Thank you

  The H700 is a controller that is supported on the R310, but you must do a clean install or backup/restore.

  The H310 is also supported by the R310.  It is a hardware RAID controller low end and would also require a reinstall/restore.

  The S100 can handle a direct migration of the S300 disc, but when you read, it is not supported in 2012 either.

  You can move the disks to the SATA onboard and get rid of the S300, but there was also a clean installation/restore.  If you did the onboard SATA (in AHCI/no RAID), there was no RAID managed by the system, but you can configure RAID under Windows, which would provide at least some redundancy.  Performance is not worse than the S series controllers.

  My advice?  Never skimp on storage, no matter what it is used for.  Always get the top of the page (H7x0) controller when you configure a server.

• 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?

• PERC S300 RAID10 Drive upgrade Question

  I currently have 4x250GB HARD drives in a PERC S300 on a PE T110.  It works fine but I really want to upgrade to SSD because they are becoming so cheap.  However, when I was in RAID5, it requires that any replacement of disks are of equal size or greater, even if the actual volume was a fraction of the available space.  Is this the same requirement on the S300 for RAID10?

  Yes, it's necessary. In addition, you cannot mix SAS and SATA and SSD, SATA or SAS, SSD, so you will need to do a backup/restore of your SSD barrette.

• Power edge R310 PERC S300 firmware update

  Hello world.

  I have 3 PowerEdge R310 operating with 3 HARD drive / RAID5 on PERC S300.
  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  I apreciate your responses.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  TavoGA

  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  Yes, your RAID and BONES must be intact after the upgrade. The firmware update will not take effect until after you restart the system. The system must be restarted after you apply the update. It is advisable to always have a valid backup tested before making any hardware/software changes on a production system.

  Thank you

• Driver problem: Windows Server 2008 R2 on server T110 II with PERC S300 (RAID10)

  I have the Dell PowerEdge T110 II server with PERC S300 RAID card.  I installed 4 hard drives & them set on RAID10 in initial configuration.  The card mother recognizes the PCI-E card, which in turn recognizes readers.

  I pop in the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD and I start from DVD, but when I get to the part where I have to choose a file location, it appears that he is not a player available.  There is another option to add a driver.  Then I went on the site ( http://tinyurl.com/PercS300driver) downloaded appropriate driver, added to USB & when I get to this screen, I'm trying to add the driver.  However, he said "there is no signed in this folder drivers."

  Does anyone know what I might be missing?

  You are using the wrong driver.  The one you linked to says it's for Server 2008 x 86.  As 2008 R2 64-bit only, there is no way it will work.  Use this driver for 2008 R2 (you must change the drop down menu on site driver downloads / to the correct operating system):

  Be sure to run first to extract it, and then put the contents extracted on your CD/DVD/USB for use with the link to load a driver.

• ESXi 4.0 does support PERC S300 on a Dell PoweEdge T310?

  I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge T310 with a PERC S300 with 3 500 GB HDs for RAID 5. I tried to install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with customization of Dell, but has been unable to act. Installation failed message appeared indicating the system is not the supported device to write the image.

  Can you confirm that Dell ESXi 4.0 or 4.0 with 1 update supports PERC S300? Do I have to return the server, get a PERC 6i controller? Thank you.

  A piece of information of Dell said that it is a software RAID device and therefore not supported RAID in any version of ESXi. You can use as only 3 separate disks. I try to disable the features of RAID if possible and see what happens. If the RAID is a requirement, it seems that you must upgrade to a PERC 5 or 6.

• Satellite Pro S300 and AES1610 fingerprint reader

  To the right,.

  I have a laptop Toshiba Pro S300 with AES1610 fingerprint reader.
  Whenever I start windows and was produced for more than a week now it appears constantly wanting to install an update for AES1610, when you select ok to complete the installation of software, he finally opens the Truesuite Access software and wants to repair to change or remove.
  Please can someone help me solve this problem.

  Fingerprint sensor and truesuite software is always fully operational as well.

  Hello

  I had this happen with Vista, it seems Vista tries to install the new drivers from the Windows Update site.

  WARNING: This could remove your fingerprints and passwords registered in the utility so in this case you will need to add them, make sure you know your windows password as well to get back in.

  What I did from memory.

  1) go through the installation program and click Finish.
  2) go to start - Control Panel - programs and features
  (3) find the entry of TrueSuite Access Manager and uninstall this program
  (4) restart the machine.

  Then...

  1) go to start - Control Panel - Device Manager
  (2) find the entry for personal identification devices and expand it to see the AuthenTec Inc. entry, right click and go to the update driver software and use search automatically. This should find the most recent version that Windows wants to install on the site to update, follow the wizard and we hope that it will be the end of it.

  I think that what is happening is update is installing a more recent version of Windows, but as the old version is still on the machine, its installation program detects the driver or the program has changed and it is then re - install the old version, if you get stuck in a loop.

  Hope that helps.
