• SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

  We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

  Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

  is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

  In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

• Power edge R310 PERC S300 firmware update

  Hello world.

  I have 3 PowerEdge R310 operating with 3 HARD drive / RAID5 on PERC S300.
  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  I apreciate your responses.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  TavoGA

  If I try the PERC firmware update (SAS - RAID_Firmware_RPCKX_WN32_2.0.0 - 016600193000_A06), while the server is offline, the RAID and SO restarted intact?

  Yes, your RAID and BONES must be intact after the upgrade. The firmware update will not take effect until after you restart the system. The system must be restarted after you apply the update. It is advisable to always have a valid backup tested before making any hardware/software changes on a production system.

  Thank you

• PowerEdge T710 PERC H700 RAID level migration issue

  In my new role, I inherited a number of servers managed until now by someone else.  One of them is a PowerEdge T710 with a Controller PERC H700.  There are two matrices; the other has four 3TO disks in a RAID-5 configuration.

  I don't need the storage space any where near as much as the reliability factor.  Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?  There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have.

  "Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?"

  Yes, BUT you can use this method by ADDING another disk.  RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives.  Insert a disk "to hot', then in the software OpenManage (OMSA), go into storage, PERC, virtual disks and reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 5.

  "There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have."

  Apart from the fact that RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives, even if you want to spend a 4 drive RAID 5 has a 4-drive RAID 6, it could NOT be done.  You can't make a smaller table.  The controller doesn't know - or care - on real data of BONE on the disks (so the amount of 'free space' is not serious) and is not worried about virtual disk space (which would be filled if the total capacity of the discs has been used).

• Driver problem: Windows Server 2008 R2 on server T110 II with PERC S300 (RAID10)

  I have the Dell PowerEdge T110 II server with PERC S300 RAID card.  I installed 4 hard drives & them set on RAID10 in initial configuration.  The card mother recognizes the PCI-E card, which in turn recognizes readers.

  I pop in the Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD and I start from DVD, but when I get to the part where I have to choose a file location, it appears that he is not a player available.  There is another option to add a driver.  Then I went on the site ( http://tinyurl.com/PercS300driver) downloaded appropriate driver, added to USB & when I get to this screen, I'm trying to add the driver.  However, he said "there is no signed in this folder drivers."

  Does anyone know what I might be missing?

  You are using the wrong driver.  The one you linked to says it's for Server 2008 x 86.  As 2008 R2 64-bit only, there is no way it will work.  Use this driver for 2008 R2 (you must change the drop down menu on site driver downloads / to the correct operating system):

  Be sure to run first to extract it, and then put the contents extracted on your CD/DVD/USB for use with the link to load a driver.

• PowerEdge R310 - expansion of Volume Raid H200

  I have a Dell PowerEdge R310 with the following specifications:

  OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

  RAID controller: H200

  A RAID Volume: 500GB

  Presentation of RAID: Raid-1

  Basically, what I want to know if it is possible to install a disc more (I want to do a 2 TB drive) to replace the two 500 GB drives and extend the size of 2 TB Raid-1 volume, without losing the current data?

  Hello.

  Basically, what I want to know if it is possible to install a disc more (I want to do a 2 TB drive) to replace the two 500 GB drives and extend the size of 2 TB Raid-1 volume, without losing the current data?

  What you are wishing to perform is targeted for online capacity Expansion (OCE) which is not supported by the controller RAID H200 shouldn't we support re-taggable picture to allow you to upgrade to 2 TB on the same virtual disk (VD) discs. Make sure you have backup of your data. The only option available to you is to remove the existing VD and create another with 2 TB drives. Re-install the operating system and restore your data.

• Adding a replacement disk in a RAID 5 (PERC S300) replacement hot

  I scoured through comments and think I have the solution almost, but would confirm or correct if possible.

  Have a PowerEdge R310, four 500 GB drives, RAID 5, with one of these defined as Global Hot Spare drives.  One of the spare wheel failed, hot (003) disks has done its job and kept during the RAID.

  Put in the replacement drive in and can see it is Ready on physical disks via manage open.  More I noticed that he as a Non Raid virtual drive virtual drives.

  I thought it was to automatically rebuild the RAID after the disc has been inserted, but it didn't.  I started to reconfigure it on existing RAID, hoping to choose the new disk and start the reconstruction, but he doesn't see the new drive as a physical drive.  I guess that's because the system has assigned the new drive as a new virtual disk.

  I remove the new virtual disk, and then run the reconfigure statement the existing virtual disk of RAID 5 to add the new drive?

  I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help!  Right now my server is in place and very well, but these 500 GB drives are reliable - I lost an another late last year and replaced him.

  Thanks for the quick response.  If I already have a spare drive (the one who took over after the failure of the other disk), it will allow me to do the new hot spare?

  This player is no longer a "rescue." It is now a member of the array fully operational. You don't have a spare drive. It is also possible to have two hot-spare set.

  I run the Reconfiguration on the RAID 5 in Open Manager after the non - RAID VD is removed?

  No, Reconfigure will EXPAND a virtual disk, usually by adding a physical drive. So if you have a 3-drive RAID 5, you insert a new disk and run the statement reconfigures, you might reconfigure your 3-drive RAID 5 to 4 drive RAID 5 (is worth a drive to storage space by adding to your table/server) or a 4-drive RAID 6 (essentially a RAID 5 with a disc of relief, but instead of relief being a non-member member - only standyby player - help is integrated with the table as a full member. the RAID array results in an additional parity so that two disks can fail while maintaining the availability of the matrix, rather than wait for a player to fail before starting the reconstruction to become a member of the table; RAID 6 is usually best when using very large capacity disks).

• 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.

• The PERC S300 controller replacement

  I want to upgrade a server PowerEdge R310 Windows Server 2008 R2 to R2 2012. Unfortunately the PERC S300 is not supported and I could not find the necessary drivers.

  I found that PERC H700 has the correct drivers and is compatible with the R310, can anyone confirm that please?

  Are there cheaper alternatives? Otherwise, I think I have to disconnect the PERC controller and connect the drives to the internal SATA ports, but then I have 4 independent drives with no RAID either because the PERC S100 embedded is not as well supported... (is there a SW raid solution?)

  Thank you

  The H700 is a controller that is supported on the R310, but you must do a clean install or backup/restore.

  The H310 is also supported by the R310.  It is a hardware RAID controller low end and would also require a reinstall/restore.

  The S100 can handle a direct migration of the S300 disc, but when you read, it is not supported in 2012 either.

  You can move the disks to the SATA onboard and get rid of the S300, but there was also a clean installation/restore.  If you did the onboard SATA (in AHCI/no RAID), there was no RAID managed by the system, but you can configure RAID under Windows, which would provide at least some redundancy.  Performance is not worse than the S series controllers.

  My advice?  Never skimp on storage, no matter what it is used for.  Always get the top of the page (H7x0) controller when you configure a server.

• PERC S300 and R2 2012

  Hi, I saw some documents last year which says that Dell does not intend to create a driver for use with the Perc S300 and R2 for Windows Server 2012. This situation is even position? If Yes, what is the best option for my brand new PowerEdge R210 II? I would rather use hardware RAID than software RAID on what happens to be a domain controller. The server has two installation disks in a RAID 1 array. Any help, suggestions and advice are welcome. Thank you!

• PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

  PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

  3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

  RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

  All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

  The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

  Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

  Is this a software problem? Firmware?

  Suggestions of help appreciated!

  Best,

  James

  Hello James

  I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

  If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

  Thank you

• ESXi 4.0 does support PERC S300 on a Dell PoweEdge T310?

  I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge T310 with a PERC S300 with 3 500 GB HDs for RAID 5. I tried to install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with customization of Dell, but has been unable to act. Installation failed message appeared indicating the system is not the supported device to write the image.

  Can you confirm that Dell ESXi 4.0 or 4.0 with 1 update supports PERC S300? Do I have to return the server, get a PERC 6i controller? Thank you.

  A piece of information of Dell said that it is a software RAID device and therefore not supported RAID in any version of ESXi. You can use as only 3 separate disks. I try to disable the features of RAID if possible and see what happens. If the RAID is a requirement, it seems that you must upgrade to a PERC 5 or 6.

• How to disable integrated PERC S300 controllers and connect hard drives directly onboard SATA

  Hello

  I bought new servers, two of them came with PERC S300 controllers. When I tried to install Linux (CentOS) on this subject, the system could not see the RAID!

  After some research, I noticed that it is Windows specific (fake RAID)

  I want to disable this controller and connect my hard drives directly to the main card SATA connectors and implement a software RAID under Linux.

  What I need is:

  What cables I need to order for this?

  Thank you

  When I picked my servers and decided on their specifications, this note (red) was not on the site, and I am sure about that because I have not all Windows servers on my network.

  Now that I ordered and received them, I'm looking for a solution.

  I ordered this kit: Dell PowerEdge HDD DATA CABLE KIT DP/N C450M CN-0C450M

  

  I will receive next week. I hope that this will help me get around this annoying problem.

• REFERENCE DELL UEFI/GPT R310, PERC H700

  Hello (or rather the night).

  I have a dell poweredge R310 (with PERC H700) server and 3 hard drives.

  The first two are the storage on SATA drive with a capacity of 3 TB (each 6 to total) this operation of RAID 1.

  The third is a 64 GB SSD for boot into the operating system (I chose to set up Debian).

  I read a few topics who insist to start using UEFI and put the storage disks to GPT for the OS can fully recognize.

  If I could access the UEFI interface, with the configuration of raid PERC H700, but I can't find any indication of the GPT.

  How can I go about it, is that I missed a step?

  Hoping that someone will help me :)

  No, TPG is a function of the operating system, NOT the hardware, so if the PERC does not recognize the full capacity of disc, then either your H700 firmware is old (> 2 to support has been added in the second update of firmware for this card) or the drive is not compatible.  What make and model are you using?
