PowerEdge 1950 iDRAC6 upgrade?

Hi all

Having a bunch of PowerEdge 1950 who card DRAC5 for end of life. Is it possible to change the DRAC5 card for iDRAC6, 7 or 8? (and that everything still works as expected, of course).

Thank you!

Hello

No, iDRAC act as the BMC in 11G and later systems which they are intended. They are not PCI cards as most of the DRAC have older. They are either integrated into the system board or cards are girls, so in addition to being functionally different they are physically different and did not fit into a location any on the 1950s.

Thank you

  • Upgrade Ram PowerEdge 1950

    Hello

    Hoping to use an old PowerEdge 1950 as a backup server, I'm hoping to replace the existing 4 x DUAL IN - LINE MEMORY MODULE, 1 G, 667 M, 128 X 72, 8, 240, 2RX8 for 4 modules of 2 GB instead, however there is no motions of this material online.

    is the upgrade possible & what would be the recommended modules?

    Much thanks

    You want to just replace the 4x1Go with 4x2GB? Easy to do. Just to make sure you get good memory (must be fully buffered, etc.).

  • WOI for Poweredge 1950

    I have a rack with several different generations of Poweredge 1950 servers and a few R610s.  I would like to distance the departure (WOI), stop and use the systems in the basket.  Systems do not have the DRAC cards installed.

    I WOL installation for all systems and can start and stop all on the local network very well.  If I can start a unique system of p1950 remotely, then I can easily start and stop all the systems using this unique system.

    But I can't do simple p1950 system to remote start.  I put the Port Forwarding on my router/modem DSL to transfer 9 UDP to the system and sees the magic packet very well... but it will not turn on.

    I am familiar with the planks of the DRAC and the various management tools remotely, but reading that I did... it seems possible to be able to power and turn off the machine to the Internet.

    Please can someone explain what I need to be able to remotely turn on the system?

    I can do without a DRAC card installed?

    This software is required to send to connect with the system and send the signal from power?

    Thank you!

    You can use the ipmitool to turn on and turn off the server. For this you require not DRAC. You must follow the steps below to configure this

    1. Configure the IP address and compatible IPMI over LAN to iDRAC or BMC.

      1. R610 will have default iDRAC. For more details see section "Using the iDRAC6 Configuration utility" on iDRAC user's Guide. You can download the iDRAC from here user guide

        FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_electronics/esuprt_software/esuprt_remote_ent_sys_mgmt/integrated-Dell-remote-access-cntrllr-6-for-monolithic-Srvr-v1.95_User%27s%20Guide_en-us.PDF

      2. 1950, you need to configure BMC. You can configure the IP address and IPMI over LAN at similar to R610 boot
    2. Install ipmitool on a client computer. You can download ipmitool from here
    3. Run the following command to power on the server

    ipmitool - I lanplus h u Pei power on

    Run following command to get help on this command

  • PowerEdge 1950 SAS 5 / i maximum capacity of hard drive?

    Hi guys,.

    I am planning on getting an upgrade on one of our PowerEdge 1950 servers which has the SAS 5 / i controller.

    Currently as 1 x 80 GB SATA II drive and 1 x 250 GB SATA II hard drive.

    The upgrade, I'm eager to replace the 250 GB SATA II with a 2 TB SATA II drive so we can merge our cluster of stale data (Intel Celeron D 3, 06GHz) and our well-built used 1950 together to save power and room on our grid, while making access much faster data.

    Because the Cluster consists of 1 x 1 TB Drive and 1 x 500 GB drive, it would be impractical to pop just readers to the 1950s as two disks approaching their capacity. They also get a bit now with the 1 TB drive with a warning sector re-appropriated in SMART County (we received as a replacement for factory refurbished for a new brand doesn't have a disk of 1 TB in December 09).

    Are the questions I would ask: what is the maximum capacity hard drive SAS 5 / I controller can accept and: what is the combined total capacity of the hard drive?

    Obviously with the latest firmware of the controller (hence the reason why I request in a new thread).

    Thanks for your answers,

    Chris

    If it is a disk 2 (3.5 ") 1950: 2x2TB storage = 4 TB of total disk; 0 = 4 can be used to RAID, RAID 1 = 2 TB usable.

    If it is a 4 drive (2.5 ") 1950: 4x1TB storage = 4 TB of total disk; RAID 0 = 4 TB usable, usable 10 RAID = 2 TB, RAID 5 = 3 TB usable 2xRAID 1 = 2x1To can be used.

    I guarantee you that it refers to the total disk space of all disks included with the machine in the sale.

    A single disc (not the total of all disks in RAID array) can not be greater than 2 TB on any of the controllers supported for a 1950 (SAS PERC 5/6, 5/6).

  • map of scsi (redirect) dell poweredge 1950

    Hello world

    I installed and running a Dell poweredge 1950 that I use it to backup (tape) using Backup EXEC 2014. In the alley, he has an empty slot for a SCSI expansion card where a need can connect via a SCSI connection a different external tape drive. Due to the fact that the dell model is quite old, it is difficult to find a type of card.

    I found online something to my request: [View:www.xbyte.com/ProductDesc.aspx]

    but the problem is that it has two SCSI ports and it is too big to get it. I tried to find one with a single port, but I can't seem to find it. Have you also had this problem and if so where you bought the SCSI expansion? There is also the option to purchase a SCSI cable / USB, but I don't want to go with this solution. All advice what to do or where to buy expansion card I need.

    Thanks for the tips.

  • We had to add storage to a PowerEdge 1950 production

    Hello

    I have a PowerEdge 1950 server with 4x73GB hard drives in Raid 5 configuration. I'm running out of space and the need to increase the storage capacity. If it were possible, I would like to replace 2 of these drives with bigger disks. On the details of the server product page it says I could use the 146 GB drives. Can I have incompatible disks - 2 x 73 and 2 x 146? If Yes, can I do it in phases – take a swap in offline mode, wait until the reconstruction, repeat? And if I can do this, I would need ideally to create a new partition, like now, it's all a big reader of C.

    Is this possible? If not, what are my options?

    Thank you!

    You can replace each disk individually with adults, BUT:

    1. If you don't replace ALL the disks with the largest, the array will be the same size, and you will NOT be able to use the extra space.

    2. If you replace all disks with the biggest, there no way to expand the table. The only thing that you would be able to do at this point is to create a second table on disks using the newly available space. Because each painting is considered a separate drive by Windows, you would not be able to extend the C: drive with the new space, but if you have another partition (D:, say), you can move the D: data to the new array, remove the old D: in the first table, and then expand C:.
