• 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.

  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 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

  OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

  I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

  The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  Thank you

  PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

• PowerEdge R910 Raid Controller version

  Hi all

  How can I check the version of RAID controller and the Drac version of linux? I'm looking to upgrade both.

  Thank you!

  Jbonpland,

  The best way to see both devices information would be to install OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) on the system, if it is impossible, the only way to get information from the Drac use IPMI tool and with the Raid Controller you will need to use something like MegaCLI.

  If you prefer to use OMSA download here - http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/index/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=C8V9M&fileId=3291475553&osCode=RH60&productCode=poweredge-r910&languageCode=EN&categoryId=SM

  Let me know how it goes.

• T130 PowerEdge RAID controller onboard or get a card?

  Finally, we got a budget to replace our entire PoS system and got a PowerEdge T130 to replace our T110. What I'm not clear on the RAID controller embedded - is it only the software, hardware or some hybrids; and what are the levels of RAID support? The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

  Our range of SSD in our existing server still in excellent condition, so I want to migrate it on when I'm done configures OS and PoS software. Should I go into BIOS, set up the RAID controller and see what levels he'll give me or I'd better use the physical map of the T110 in the T130? The T110 is currently using a PERC S300 card with 4 SSD in RAID10. Alternatively, can anyone point me to a better RAID card for this server which would do well to RAID10? I shortly before the system goes into the production environment, so I want to change my hardware now while I still can.

  It is only the second build of the full server that I have used in the past 6 years. Would like to hear the thoughts of anyone T130, RAID, etc. Finally, moving into the world of 64-bit, thank God.

  Software only - it is based on the Intel RAID chipset and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 volumes and non-RAID. It should be avoided.

  htc2010

  The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

  This is what should be done with the integrated RAID controller (S130 - off and mirrored in the operating system instead - IF hardware RAID, which is preferable, is not checked).

  htc2010

  Should I go into the BIOS, change the RAID controller and see what levels he will give me

  Still once, I you would recommend against the use of the S130, AND you can't replace non-RAID RAID on the fly. It would require reinstallation or backup/restore.

  The S300, while only slightly better than the S130, is not supported in the T130. I would recommend the H730 or the H330 if you absolutely cannot spend the money for the H730 (they are cheaper suppliers that Dell directly). The two become RAID 10. The H330 will give you about the performance of your S300. If none of them are selected, I'd go with what you vascular (the S130 is your only other option 'supported', and it's garbage). If this system is heavily used, I highly recommend, but if the H730 moderately or less software RAID is fine (you have SSD in the new configuration, I take it...).

• PowerEdge 2800 with 4/Di Raid Controller

  I lost inadvertently communication on my hard drive for the OS and Raid 5 data readers.  Currently I can not start the server and need assistance in getting to the top.  I installed 3 new drives to set up a backup and during the process, I've dethroned poor readers.  How can I determine which is the main OS drive and who are the 3 logical drives that are the data reader.  I guess I have to tell the server which drive is the boot drive, but a little shy gun now after this experience.

  Thank you

  "I do my best to ensure that the information provided is accurate and I am very confident that it is."

  I believe you, but information is no not any sense, as planned.

  "I work from my phone and do not have Internet access to perform the procedure requested right now."

  It is perhaps the only way to get it online.

  "As long as the battery is concerned, I was told that when the battery is only one branch that it will release the current configuration and start cut line."

  It will not.  The RAID configuration is stored in a NON VOLATILE memory.  Disconnect the battery will clear the memory VOLATILE of the controller, which is used only for write cache.

  "Regarding the location of the reader, what the raid controller tells me.

  Just to clarify: the system EACH time it starts, when the charge controller, that none of the logical drives are found?  And there is no message indicating how you choose/use/save a configuration do not match?

  If you know disk 9 is your RAID 0, you can try power off, removal of all readers (hold that which), insert the diskette 9 on the slot 0, then start CTRL-m, configure, view/Add... If you are prompted to choose between the drives and the NVRAM, choose drive, then save to the output and try to start the operating system.

  If it does not, I would start thinking about data recovery or restore from a backup.

• Issue of PERC H730 RAID controller

  Hi guys. I'm a noob

  I'll order a Dell R430 with H730 raid controller

  2 SATA drives will be configured as Raid 1.

  My question is, can I add another 2 non-raid sata disk on the server? It will appear as two additional physical disks under windows?

  any help is greatly appreciated

  Yes, the H730 supports passthrough/no RAID and RAID.

• The PowerEdge 2900 server RAID

  Hello everyone and good day

  I have a PowerEdge 2900 which was erased and raid configured with 2 discs and ready for os install. However when you try to use the Server Wizard, I get an error that his stats can not detect readers or they are not initialized. I do all the raid configuration and should be ready. I took a peek in the bios of the main server and I do not see listed in the boot sequence raid controller. all I see is cd rom on b sata and hard drive. until the server has been annihilated the raid controller has been listed in the boot sequence menu. I changed a setting that I shouldn't have or I am missing a part of the process? No matter which lend a little and fix this? I would like to get the server operational return. the server has a perc 6i

  When I got is the server was running. However, he came from a health care facility and had to be wiped.

  I have it wiped myself just by going to the raid controller and removing the VFD and reconfiguring with new configuration.

  Please tell me that I don't have just the weight of the heavier paper in my office.

  You must configure AND initialize the virtual disk (table)... tick all the boxes advanced and Initialize during the creation of the VFD.

  You can also use a version of "server Wizard" (obsolete) that does not support the hardware in your server.

• PowerEdge R230 fans speed & do not respond

  Hi all

  I have a new server with a weird behavior, which I'm not sure.

  Once we started the server, the fan speed is high then seattled to about 8000 RPM. Is this normal for R230 fan at its idle speed?

  We tried to install VMWare ESXi, but server will no response. We also tried installing normal Windows 7 as a test if it's a server problem or problem installing ESXi USB, same no response to the initial installation screen.

  BIOS Version 1.1.4
  Firmware Version 2.22.22.22

  Thanks Josh, we him had all solved.

  Number 1: Fan at idling speed is about 50% speed.

  BIOS: 1.1.4 Firmware: 2.22.22.22, controller of life cycle: 2.22.22.22

  Resolution: update BIOS to 1.2.5 & update firmware for 2.30.30.30

  ****************************************

  , 2nd edition: Server freeze on ESXi 5.1U3 (Dell version) installation screen.

  Resolution: PowerEdge R230 supports ESXi 5.5 and above, earlier versions are not supported. We have installed ESXi 6.0U2 (Dell version) and everything went smoothly.

• General on the raid controller and hardware

  Hello

  I have that the hard disk controller or controller raid (0,1,5) does not work on a computer, if I add hollow PCI slot a wil raid controller or hardware, computer, or the raid not works normally?

  Johan

  Hi Johan,.

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community Forums.

  Ideally it is dependent on the PCI slot you use, if the PCI slot supports the hard disk controllers and RAID controllers so it will work with the computer. Almost all modern PCI slots supports the hard disk controllers and RAID controllers.

• RAID controller C - 220 M 3

  Hello

  People of Cisco told me C - 220M 3 a compulsory bring a RAID inside controller if you are configuring a HARD drive... in fact dynamic Configuration tool will not let me set up a server of C220M3 with a HARD drive if I do not add a RAID controller. I'll try to find a technical explanation for this... I remember correctly, the old C - 200 M 2 can be configured with a HARD drive and without any controller RAID at all, and that is no problem.

  All the entries on that?

  Thank you

  Hi Dani,

  You need something on the server to interact with the hard drives and one of the above storage controllers provides an interface for the server (motherboard) interact with hard drives.

• Insertion/thanks to the RAID controller plug in PCIe card in a UCS C220 M3, rather than embeded RAID controller?

  Hello!!

  We have a UCS C220 M3 server with a 1 TB SAS hard drive and a controller RAID embeded, like this:

  1	UCS-HDD1TI2F212	1 TB SAS 7.2 K rpm 3.5 inch HDD/hot plug/disc horse sleigh
  1	UCSC-RAID-ROM15	Embedded SW RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 4 SAS/SATA ports

  If I add this controller RAID PCI card to my UCS server:

  UCS-RAID-9266CV =

  MegaRAID 9266CV-8i w/TFM + Super CAP

  US $ 1,686.00

  Going to work with her, ignoring the old RAID embeded it configured?

  The question is that VMWARE is not supported controllers shipped my RAID, so I want to add an external RAID PCI controller to support VMWARE.

  I don't know if it will work.

  Thank you!!

  Rodrigo,

  The embeded controller is built and not removable, it is integrated into each C220/C240. The units are designed to operate with PCIe controllers and mezzanine table when it is properly configured.

  Once you install the controller of the SIPC, you will need to do the following:

  (1) move the conectors mini SAS to the motherboard in the LSI PCIe controller

  (2) make sure that the slot PCIe what optionrom is enabled in the BIOS. (newer systems have their OptionROM disabled in the uninhabited slots (from the factory). If you do not see the OptionROM for the POST, then go back into the BIOS and enable the slot PCIe OptionROM

  (3) while you are in the BIOS, you can thus turn off Patsburg UCS regulatory table (the table embeded). It is of no use at this stage that you removed the cables up to the HARD drive Bay. It is also misleading if left active, you will see the configuration of arrays of LSI utility appear twice during POST. Time for the embeded and once again for the PCIe LSI controller.
