PowerEdge 2950 extra on the disc no RAID... ?

Hello

Our good ol PE2950 ' came with two 73 GB drives in raid.  It's not in use, but I wonder if I can plug an additional 300 GB drive in third place and save it as a single drive non-raid.

Is this possible?  If so, how to do that correctly?

If it is not possible, can I (of) the two 73 GB drives since the raid and add the 300 GB as a non-raid drive...?

Thaks for comments on this

Depends on your RAID controller.

If you have a 5/6 SAS, you can add a drive non-RAID.

If you have a PERC 5/6, it does not support the RAID/JBOD; all disks must be in a matrix RAID (virtual disk) to be usable by the operating system. To add a single drive, you must set it up as a RAID 0 (the only RAID level that accepts a single disc).

  • Replace a HARD drive in RAID 1 PowerEdge 2950, question on the process

    Having never had to replace a HARD drive in a RAID 1 configuration on a PowerEdge 2950 Server (PERC 5 / i).

    Can I do put in custody or from a cold start?

    I replaced the HDD failure with the new HARD drive with the same part number.

    This is my boot volume, so I don't want to spoil...

    If the data is critical, and you don't have a backup, get one now.

    NEVER stop a server to introduce a disk. If the reader poster pred fail, force the drive offline first, then remove it. If it is already broken, then just pull it off.

    I just bought the parts for my new old dell poweredge 2950 I put the e5440s dual xeon inside and it gives me a cpu mismatch so I take cpu 1 and it starts very well (I also put cpu 1 in any other slot and it worked). When I just loaded CPU 1 that he would give me e1410 IERR I looked at the decision-making and 4 pins were bent moderately. If the bent PIN will cause this error.

  • II of the PowerEdge 2950 not allowing for space HARD to be accessible

    Nice day

    I have an old server PowerEdge 2950 II (card: 2x3.0 Ghz Xeon, 24 MB Mem 1 TB SATA HDD, 1 Tb SATA HDD, 2 TB SATA HDD - Server data center in 2012).

    The question I have is that I recently updated the operating system from 2008 to 2012 DC, then installed an extra drive (2 TB).  I run RAID 0, and the system is only show a MAXIMUM of space disk HARD 1.98 TB, with the other Tb 0.02 table allocated to file systems.  RAID Perc 5i controller has all the three marked as online HARD drives.  BUT I can not use the additional 2 tablespoons in the table.  I was going to buy and install a 2nd HARD drive of 2 to SATA and RAID 1 go; but, if I can't fix this storage space not represented in the storage Bay I can't justify the purchase.  If anyone can help I would be grateful.

    So, you have three disks - 1 TB, 1 TB, 2 TB - during a RAID 0, and you expect to see 4 TB of space?  If so, see my notes above.  Each virtual disk (RAID array) is presented to the operating system as a separate 'disc'.  Windows cannot use a more 2 TB drive unless it has been converted to GPT.  First of all, the conversion to TPG is data destructive, so you will need to do a backup/restore.  Secondly, convert your boot 'disc' TPG will not cause it to start on a 2950 because it only supports UEFI, which is necessary to start from a GPT disk.

    Bottom line?  You need to rethink your configuration on this machine.  You could make two 1 TB disks in a 1 TB RAID 1 for the OS (in MBR and bootable on a 2950), and then you could add 2 TB RAID 1 for data disks.  2 TB, it would be unnecessary to convert to GPT, but if you have added more than 2 TB of space, you would then convert that TPG and use as many TB for the data that you can hold in the system.

    In addition, you realize how dangerous running a RAID 0 is, right?

  • Dell Poweredge 2950 Raid battery

    Hello

    I would like to know if I replace the battery Raid for the Dell 2950 poweredge server would be the raid configuration to be indented upward from zero?

    Or should I replace the server should start up as normal without any problems?

    I need to replace the battery raid for a Dell poweredge server 2950 and I would appreciate if someone can answer my question above.

    Thank you.

    No, the RAID array does NOT affect the configuration.

  • Changing the RAID battery on the shelves of the disc MD3200

    Hello

    I have 2 shelves, MD3200 of the disc. I've been advised by Dell that I need to change the RAID battery on both units.

    I was wondering if someone has already done this, or are there instructions from Dell on how to on this subject.

    Each drive tray has only a RAID card in each unit as it acts as one mirror of the other via the SAN software, but I am particularly concerned by knowing that the information contained in the cache has been written to the disks until the devices are turned off, while I change the battery.

    Ideas or experiences that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you Sam

    New batteries so I plan a replacement, thank you very much for your answers.

  • PowerEdge 2950 reporting & quot; E2119 Fatal SB Mem CRC & quot; before and after the replacement of the memory.

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone else has fallen on this.

    The server is a PowerEdge 2950 II chips running 8 X 2 GB server and recently presented the E2119 Fatal SB Mem CRC error. A reading of the article and seemed to replace the memory would be to delete it.

    I replaced the server memory with ram from another PE 2950 II who worked the night last and this morning its generators again errors.

    Someone at - it recommendations on what else to do? I thought maybe is it time to replace the motherboard, but I wasn't sure.

    Also to clarify, the server was closed and not connected during the memory swap for about 8 minutes. (I gave more time to erase everything).

    Is memory I replaced it with that which comes from another server who has worked for a few years with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks guys and girls!

    You are fine with version 2.7. Clear the log material via the CTRL-E Drac/ESM prompt at startup then and let me know how it goes.

  • Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

    Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

    http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

    and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

    Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

    Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

  • PowerEdge 2950 - Win2012 R2 - drives not found

    Found the problem.  One who had the device before RAID off (and no memory for her) and as well as the options of SATA.  Virtual drives activated and set up.  Alto!

  • Looking for documentation PowerEdge 2950 III

    The material does not match looking for PowerEdge 2950 III manual/documentation material... the documentation associated with the service tag.  Documentation that seems to be the 2950 base while the material is the version III with the - 7 marked 0 on the front disc.  More useful would be linked to the set, but if not, then at least the hardware manual.

    I realize this is an older system... but I need to be able to show what parts I might need to get from Dell to keep it operational.

    Sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask.  Thank you.

  • Dell PowerEdge 2950 Backplane - error message: SAS B missing cable. Misconfigured?

    We have a bunch of Dell PowerEdge 2950 s, they came with a built-in SAS Perc5i RAID controller.

    Unfortunately the Perc5i is a kind of fake raid 10 (a span of mirrors) rather than a bunch of mirrors so we had to get some raid cards appropriate instead.

    So now the perc5i on board is disconnected from the bottom of basket and disabled in bios, and we have our new raid card installed and connected to the bottom of basket - all is well and they work well.

    However when the machines bios startup stops and we get an error message saying the following:

    «SAS B cable missing /.» Misconfigured.

    Turn the system power off and connected properly. Details for the wiring of storage system information label and manual Ownders hardware.

    Press F1 to continue, F2 to run the configuration utility.

    How can we stop this message? This is obviously completely false; our new SAS cards are connected to the bottom of the basket and works very well. I don't see anywhere to disable this message in the bios or the 5 BMC Management utility.

    BIOS version is 2.2.6 (last)

    BMC firmware is 1.97 (last)

    Backplane firmware is 1.05 (last)

  • HARD disk for maximum support PowerEdge 2950

    Greetings,

    I have server PowerEdge 2950 with Six internal hard drive bays. How many maximum capacity of hard drive taken in charge in one Bay?

    Thanks for the reply and best regards.

    If you use a PERC 5/6, 2 TB is the maximum size of physical disks - this is a hardware limitation, and there is no way to use anything larger than 2 TB.

    If you use a SAS 5/6 in RAID mode, 2 TB is the maximum - it is a limitation of its limitation of RAID. I would never do that, but some said that grows to 2 TB will work on the SAS 5/6 in NON RAID (left unconfigured) mode.
