• Dell PowerEdge 2950 of installation

  I'm testing DPM on a Dell PowerEdge 2950.  To make this work, I have need to configure IPMI if I can have a server go to safe mode and out of safe mode.  I've been Googling like crazy, but have been unable to find an answer on how to get this working.  Whenever I try to put my host in standby I get this message:

  vCenter has determined that it cannot resume host & lt; hostname & gt; standby; Therefore, the eve of the entry task was suspended.
  Confirm that IPMI/ILO is configured correctly for host & lt; hostname & gt;.  Or, configure vCenter to use WoL, making sure there are at least two or more hosts in the cluster, and then try the task again.

  A couple of things about this error: an it is a cluster two host (for testing purposes).  Two, I use Dell hardware so I have to use IPMI not ILO.

  I have connected my DRAC page and enabled IPMI over LAN, but I don't know what else to do here, and I don't know where all the parameters concerning this in vCenter or ESX.  Any help would be appreciated.

  I used the setting of Dell OpenManage.

  Under system / main system / remote access, you can see:

  Select the IPMI Over LAN-> Yes (don't forget it is YES)

  SOIL active Yes

  XXXXXXXXXX MAC address

  IPv4 address

  IP address static Source

  YYYYY IP address

  In ESX, under Configuration / PowerManagement / properties I use:

  BMC IP: YYYYY

  BMC MAC: XXXXX

• PowerEdge 2950 HARD drive failure

  Hello

  Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following scenario (where I have no experience dealing with the old servers)

  We have a set of old servers (DELL PowerEdge 2950) that migrate again (IBM X Flex), one of the old server is MOSS 2007 with 2 HDD, suddenly primary HDD is dead and in menu missing with setup. I removed old server on another HARD drive and mounted on the MOSS 2007 server and initialized. the question is how do I replace the HARD drive died with a new one and copy another disk configurations HARD live

  Please if you need more information just ask in answers because am new on this servers with 0% experience

  Thank you

  ---------------UPDATE-------------

  the current RAID is RAID 0 and I found that a backup windows (from previous system admin) file so it is possible to format the two HDD, configure RAID for RAID 1, install windows, and then restore the backup?

  also, I was reading this article " " but I couldn't change the RAID, so any suggestion?

  You need drivers ("hard drive" version, run to extract before use):

• PowerEdge 2950 III w / Server2008 64 bit: cannot activate TOE

  I recently purchased a PowerEdge 2950 III with standard options, which includes a double NetXtreme II Broadcom nic with TOE capabilities. Due to some communication problems, it was delivered without active TOE and the TOE installed key. I installed Windows Server 2008 64 bit on it.

  After some time Dell send me a TOE key, and I off the server and installed it.

  In the BIOS, it now says "able TOE." In the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator it said ' able TOE: available 'and' enable TOE: 'Yes. But in the Broadcom Control Suite to unload his abilities he doesn't list that the LSO and CO, PINCH.

  I have tried several things:

  -J' ran "netsh interface tcp > set global chimney = on" to activate TOE

  -disabled the Windows Firewall

  -remove the Broadcom drivers and reinstall them (the more recent on the Dell site)

  -installed the SNMP functionality

  But I can't seem to make it work.

  TOE benefits to the whole Server 2008? If so, what am I doing wrong?

  
  

• Flash 8 GB of PowerEdge 2950 memory cards work?

  Hi I want to improve my poweredge 2950 (I) memory and I have 2 sticks of fbd DIMM, 8 GB at 667 mhz each. There in all 16 Gb, but I m not sure if he's going to work because, back in the day, there were 4 GB sticks support, perhaps because 8 GB sticks did not exist. The questions are, can this work, does not work at all, to recognize the part of memory. ?

  Thank you

  Hi guys just to say what it was. My 2 8 GB sticks well and mixed with the other 6 of 1 GB. Now I have 22 GB correctly recognized by my 2950 I server.

  Thank you.

• PowerEdge 2950-second map PERC to connect to PowerVault 220 s

  Hello

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >) and PowerVault 220 s unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >).
  I would like to know is possible to connect this PowerVault 220 s 2950? I'm going to put this 2950 Windows Server 2012.

  Initially, this PE2950 came not with additional PERC card. If I want to add in the additional PERC card to connect to PV220s, it is possible to do?

  Hello, jindrax.

  So, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will get difficult. The PV220s works with a PERC 3 or PERC, which is NOT validated on the PE2950 4. The PE2950 is all the time, we started to switch to SAS, if I remember correctly. So it will be difficult at best to find a card to connect the PV220s.

  Aside from that, using the PV220s with Windows 2012 isn't a good idea either. While windows may have a driver randomly for him, it will not match the firmware and will act "funky" to say the least.

  In this case, honestly you'd be best suited for a large USB drive (4to) and be in a much better position to try to mesh the old technology of today.

• 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.

  This is the link to the manuals PE2950 etc.  If there is a different version, I can't find it.

• PowerEdge 2950 iii E1410 CPU IERR

  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.

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID array.

• PowerEdge 2950 - order replacement HARD drive

  We recently replaced among 300 GB three SAS hard drives in a PowerEdge 2950, after seeing 1810 Code error 1 HARD disk fault.  We would like to order replacement disks to have on hand, but must be sure that we order is fully compatible.  The reader, we have removed is Seagate ST3300656SS with Firmware HS09 and certified as a disk HARD of Dell Enterprose class.  I understand that just order a Seagate drive of the same model number is not enough.  How can we be sure we are ordering the right items?

• 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)

  Help, please!
