• Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

  Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

  You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

• DELL PowerEdge 2950 PERC 5 / i

  Dear members,

  I have server Dell PowerEdge 2950, I need to install Windows 2003 Standard Edition and save it as a file server for my network.

  So I bought 2 TB SATA WD HDD, I would like to create RAID 1.

  As a trial, I connected two 145 GB SAS and a 2 TB SATA Bay and switch ON create RAID1.

  Please guide me how to create RAID 1 using PERC 5 / i utility of configuration?

  My version 5 PERC / i integrated 5.0.2.0003.

  Thank you

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

• Disc question PowerEdge T300 Perc 6 / I Raid 5

  I have a PowerEdge T300 with Perc 6 / I and Raid 5 with 3 hot swap 15 k 146 GB disks and 1 hot spare in the fourth slot from the backplane. Drive HARD 0 is orange flashing while HDD1 thru HDD3 are green. I have a new hard drive to install. I have to restart under the Perc 6 / I installation, disable HDD0, then turn the power off and replace it and walk back in Perc 6 / I and add the new disk and restart. Drive HARD 0 rebuild in the table or what I need to assign the new drive as the new hot spare? Are there instructions on how to replace a drive like that?

  Thank you

  Mark

  Once in the controller and you can just physically pull the failed drive. After removing, then wait a moment and insert the new drive. If the virtual disk has been degraded, then it should start to rebuild on its own once the replacement is inserted. If the virtual disk has been Optimal, then physically pull the drive and insert the replacement. Then in the BIOS OF THE controller, you can configure the replacement as a hot spare.

• PowerEdge 2900 (and 2950) with PERC 5i - extend Raid 5

  Hello

  I have a Dell (PowerEdge 2900) server with a Raid PERC 5i (with BBWC) controller and 4 SATA drives installed (a virtual disk Raid 5, Windows 2008).

  Now I have an extra drive (same capacity, same speed) and installed on the server.

  I tried to expand the existing virtual disk (and the disk group) with the new physical disk drive in the BIOS of the controller and openmanage server administrator (managed node) running on windows.

  But it is not possible to do with this Raid Cntrl?

  Is there a way to do this without loss of data and maintenance of raid 5 redundancy?

  The same procedure I need to do on a PE2950 (PERC5i)

  Thank you and best regards,

  loop11

  What have you tried exactly, and what has happened or what have you seen?  You did not mention anything that leads me to believe that you tried this in the right place :)

  The PERC 5 / I can do without a doubt:

  With the disc, go to OMSA, PERC, case/bottom of basket, storage, physical disks and make sure your drive shows ready.

  If ready, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, virtual disks, select Reconfigure in the drop down menu to your RAID 5, follow the wizard to add the disk.

  If the record shows the foreign, go to the OMSA, storage, PERC, Information/Configuration (link at the top of the page), click on foreign/clear in the dropdown menu, then follow the directions above.

• 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...

  THX

  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.

• 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.

• PowerEdge 860 - PERC RAID controller compatibility

  I would like to add RAID 1 functionality on a PowerEdge 860 server we have at the office.  I was unable to determine what is the Dell Reference number for the RAID controller for that server.

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?   Would the PERC 5 / i raid controller work?  If so, what model number of Dell is compatible.  As the PE860 has long been considered his retirement there is nothing from the Dell Web site.  Searching the Web I found not less of 6 different numbers of parts Dell for a PERC 5 / i controller.

  Thanks in advance if anyone can be useful.

  -Paolo

  Hello Paolo

  PF100

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?

  No, the only supported the internal RAID controller is the SAS 5/IR. The SAS 5/iR has no cache. The PERC 5 / I is not supported on the 860. The only controllers that contain cache are external controllers as the PERC 5/e.

  You might be able to get a PERC 5 / i for work on the server, but we have not posted it to the 860. There is not many versions of the PERC 5 / i, which have been released, so I'm pretty confident that most or all of the part numbers you have found work. Whenever we change something on a part given a new part number. For example, if we decide to start using another antistatic bag to ship the PERC 5 / i in then we would give him a new part number.

  You can see here the valid controllers. The 860 is displayed on the inheritance tab:

• PowerEdge 2850 - Perc 4e/Di - status of the RAID-1 array

  I'm trying to give a sense of the info in OMSA 2.1.0 for a RAID 1 virtual disk on a server Poweredge 2850 + Perc 4e/Di.   Array disk 0:0 died at an unknown point in the past.  Info OMSA before replacing the drive:

  

  

  We have added another 0:0 drive, he rebuilt successfully automatically and this is the current info:

  

  

  

  So the State of the virtual disk RAID-1 is is more "degraded" and yet it is still showing only 0:1 Hitachi disk array and not the new 0:0 Seagate.  How this should be interpreted?  We also have another virtual disk raid 10 on this same server with discs model even who had also a drive down and replace this trained player the new Seagate drive not appearing in the table of Raid-10 list as expected.  the difference was that the Raid array-10, the original disk was displayed in OMSA as 'impossible', while on RAID-1 above, no other player has been listed.

  It should show the other disk.  A few things to try:

  • Refresh the screen VD
  • Closing/re-open OMSA
  • Stop/re-start services OMSA (DSM)
  • Clear the ESM/Hardware log in OMSA
  • Restart the server
  • Updating system firmware (BIOS, ESM, PERC (first pilot), HARD drive)

  All the foregoing may work, but it's probably caused by obsolete OMSA and/or firmware/drivers.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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?

• PowerEdge 2950 HDD Predictive Failure

  Hi Experts

  We have PowerEdge 2950 with 5 RAID PERC 6 / i integrated. It has 3 hard drives SAS and is to show the Predictive Failure HARD drive for two SAS drives and each HARD drive is 400 GB. The same size disk is not available now and the seller asks us to use 450 GB HARD drive. Is it possible or we should insist on getting 400 GB SAS HARD drive?

  Concerning

  It will work, but there are some risks involved.  Here is a good post on spiceworks where few people are talking about possible problems.
