• 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.

• Change of type PowerEdge 2950 SAS SATA Drive

  I (will) will soon receive a PE2950 which has a backplane SAS (PN610) and (YF437) SAS RAID card.

  I would like to convert it to use SATA hard drives and have capabiltiy RAID.

  the only things I need to change, is the backplane and the RAID controller?  or is it more than that?

  Thank you

  You should not have to replace the raid controller or the bottom of basket; SAS hardware is compatible SATA (the other way around does not apply (for example a SATA controller will not work with a SAS drive)).

  You however need will lead carriers, who will not sell Dell on their own, so that you can reuse those among the SAS readers, buy the disk SATA (or SAS) more small/less expensive that Dell is selling, or see if you can find the drive carrier (screws) on ebay or not.

• 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?

• ESXi 3.5 on Dell Poweredge 2950 and Dell 6 GB/s card SAS HBA?

  Hello.

  I'm under ESXi 3.5 u4 on a Dell poweredge 2950 machine.

  I recently bought a Dell Powervault 124 t. autoloader with a HBA SAS 6 GB/s card.

  I installed the card SAS in the PE 2950, but now I can't seem to see in ESXi.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Thank you very much.

  I'm afraid that the Dell technician is correct.

  Someone at - it a link on ESX support not directly connected devices?

  This isn't the issue. The question is: do you have a link that shows devices supported?

  Reference Dell does support the autoloader Powervault 124 t. on ESXi 3.5?

  Have you checked the VMware HCL already, if the SAS controller is included/supported for ESXi version, you are running?

  There are a few articles which have tape readers running with Adaptec SCSI controllers, I don't see anything for ESXi 3.5 with a SAS controller still...

  Maybe there's a better chance to make this work with ESX 4.x with VMDirectPath

• 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!

• 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.

  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?

  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?

• 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.

• PowerEdge 2950. Need advice to add 1 TB SATA disk.

  This is my first post.

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5 / i.  The firmware version is 5.2.2 - 0072.   Configuring PERC controller 0 shows.   0 to 2 physical disks in SAS controller.  2 physical disks are used to create a virtual drive.  The virtual drive is used as the C: drive.  Readers of the excellent work.

  

  I want to add a 1 TB SATA drive which will act as a stand alone D: drive.  I had planned to add the SATA controller drive 1, but when I run the PERC configuration utility, I don't see a setting 1.

  What should I do to add a 1 TB SATA drive?

  

  Looks very good.

• PowerEdge 2950 Dell computer virtual nic problems...

  I have 2 hosts, Dell Poweredge 2950 host A and host B.

  They both have the same version of esx, bios version and nic cards...  The NICs are

  1-dual Broadcom BCM5708 Xtreme

  1 - quad Intel 82575 GB Nic

  To restart the virtual machine to A host, I don't have any issues, but on host B. It is several times the card network does not work on virtual machines after you restart the virtual machine, 'not host '... The two hosts see their NICs very well.

  My work is about... to turn off manually the and solve the NICs thos machines after the restart, while they are on host b. I migrate them to host A, and they are still working that host...

  I did the esxcfg-NICs - l and found no difference on network cards.

  Perplexed, any ideas. ??

  Steve Holzman

  For me, this looks like a network with the physical network problem.

  Please make sure that all ports of the switch to the network of the virtual machine are set to Spanning Tree Port Fast (it is the name of Cisco switches)
