• PowerEdge R805 drive replcement

  I replaced the 2 hard drives mirrored on my PowerEdge R805 recently, with the new series of HDD 1 TB SAS for a higher volume, configured as Raid 1 (200 GB for a partition system; 800 GB for the data partition). Subsequently, I needed slot in the old hard to recover some documents from them, but the machine can't see them. Can someone show me how I can make the server recognize the old hard drives? The old hard disks are size of 500 GB, configured in Raid 1 (100 GB for the system partition; 400 GB for the data partition).

  You can challenge it-go in the RAID properties and activate the table.

  so, in the POST... intercept the keys CTRL + c prompt. Select Properties adapter - then raid - you should see the two VDs, if the original will be 'inactive' you simply activate the table.

  -I moved several data discovering VDs SAS6iR controllers... It is possible entrrely.

• PowerEdge R805 - Replaceable HD hot

  I have a PowerEdge R805, which shows a lack of HD (E1810).

  What is the best way to determine if the drives are hot-swappable?

  There are two (2) disks on the server - I guess they are mirrored and replaced once the mirror will be rebuilt automatically.

  They are.  If the disks are on a bottom of basket and accessible from the front of the machine, they are exchangeable hot.  Hot disks are the only option on a R805.

  As a general rule, the reader will rebuild automatically, but if not, then you must assign as a hot spare to start reconstruction.

• PowerEdge R210 and Windows 7 (workstation version)

  Someone at - he tried and managed to install Windows 7 (workstation not the server version) on a PowerEdge R210. Currently, we are looking to buy one to replace a PC that performs various tasks on network, but we really need a server on that operating system.

  If anyone has had success with drivers have been used?

  The intention is a basic system with no RAID or addon cards just to use the controller integrated with a hard drive. Ideally, we want to be able to use two NIC ports on Board also.

  For inisight or suggestions would be appreciated.

  Thanks for the replies. Someone else also noted to me that the driver base is the same, although it is nice to have several people who confirmed the same thing. One last point about the drivers and Windows 7, it would be better to install the 32-bit or the 64 bit version of Windows 7? I guess the Server drivers will only be available in 64-bit and better taken in charge these days anyway.

  Thank you.

• PowerEdge 2600 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation problem

  Hello.

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2600 server. Here is the configuration:

  BIOS version: A14

  2 x Intel Xeon 2800 MHz 533 MHz, 512 k (SL6VN)

  4 x 1 GB of RAM

  2 x 146 GB (IBM-IC35L146UCDY10-0) in RAID1

  6 x 147 Gb (Fujitsu MAP3147NC) in a RAID5 configuration

  Firmware for the PERC 4/Di 2.52D

  It has worked well during the installation of Windows Server 2000. But now I need to install Windows Server 2008 R2.

  Here's the problem: when I boot server to Windows Server 2008 R2 installation DVD, it starts to load the files and after a few minutes shows an error (I copy the exact error number) who said he's trying to run the 64-bit application, but unfortunately, this processor does not support 64-bit applications.

  I was able to find a download for Windows 2008 x 64 on the page Support of Dell PowerEdge 2600. This means that you can install an operating system 64-bit on this PE 2600, is it not?

  I know that Windows Server 2008 x 64 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are different operating systems, but 64-bit is always 64 - bit.

  Also, I know that Intel Xeon 2800 MHz 533 MHz 512 kb (SL6VN) is a 32-bit processor, but if it was delivered with these processors, and there are downloads for 64-bit operating systems exist, it should be able to install these operating systems.

  Please tell us how can I install Windows Server 2008 R2 on the PowerEdge 2600.

  Thanks in advance.

  The list 2008 x 64 in the list of OS for the 2600 is clearly a typographical error / support/web content team:

  • The 2600's chipset does not support ALL 64-bit processors
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/27741/Intel-E7501-memory-controller
  • No. 6 systems are supported on 64-bit OS - not all listed here, but the 6600 lists NO 64-bit OS (8 G was the first):
    http://advisors.Dell.com/AgileWeb/iDrivematrixView.aspx
  • 2003 x 64 is not no more, which would be if 64 bits have been supported all the

  You pay for 2008 x 86 as the latest OS on 2600... or get a newer server (starting with the 8th generation of servers as the PE 2800) to operate 2008R2.

  "2008R2 is a 64-bit operating system that is not as forgiving as 2008 x 64 on the execution of threads of 16 bits."

  16-bit applications are not supported in 64-bit operating systems:

• PowerEdge 4600 and installation of Server 2008

  Hi I have an old Poweredge 4600 Server.
  He has fleas 4 GB X 1 GB in it.
  I am trying to load Windows server 2008 on it because it is the latest OS is 32-bit.

  Now, he's going through the Embedded Server Management thing then a BIOS thing and promts to press F1 to continue or F2 to go to the configuration.  But then I run for this disorder appears limited to 256 MB but Server 2008 needs 512 MB at least to install. I have seen server 2008 on a Dell Poweredge 4600 on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNlQ0Hs3C2w so I know it's possible.
  Any ideas how?

  There is a setting in the bios called "OS install mode" make sure that it is set to off.

• 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.

• VMotion compatibility between Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) and Opteron 6200 (Interlagos)

  Anyone know if knew that Opteron 6200 (Interlagos) are compatible with Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) VMotion?

  VMware used to maintain an up-to-date list of processors with a compatibility matrix, but I didn't see a current copy of this document within a certain time.  The last that I could dig up was 2008, so I ask my question here.

  Also, if anyone knows of a compatibility matrix was updated that they could tell me, that would be helpful.

  Thank you!

  Allen: I can confirm that VMotion works between Opteron 6100 and 6200 if you are using the CVS 'AMD Opteron Genesis 3 (no 3DNow!) '.

• Dell Poweredge 2850 and ESXi 4.1

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 12 GB of RAM and two CPUs, hyperthreading with 350 GB of disk space.

  This box was initially installed with Redhat Linux ES 5.4 64-bit and OS 64 bit CentOS 5.5 with no problems, so I know the processor supports 64-bit.

  I then installed VMWare ESXi version 4.1 on the Dell Poweredge 2850 with no problems.

  Then, I created a few instances VM I want to install CentOS 5.5 64 bit.  During the installation of a VMware instance, I get this:

  msg.cpuid.notLongmodeQuestionFmt:This veritual is configured for 64-bit operating systems.
  However, the 64-bit mode is not possible.
  Longmode is disabled for this virtual machine.
  For more information, see http://VMware.com/info?id=152
  Continue without 64 bit support?

  Now the question I have is this: given that VMWare is problems with 64-bit OSes comments, how is it that I can install CentOS 5.5 64 bit on this Dell PowerEdge 2850 with no problems.  It seems obvious to me that the PowerEdge 2850 works well with the 64 bit OS but not ESXi 4.1.

  How can I get around this?

  Comments?  Thanks in advance.

  The dell series 8 (1850/2850) have no vt support, so not support 64-bit virtual machine, except 6850.

  The output of the processor shows the same thing, or rather, what he shows no vt in its ability.  It shows lm, long mode, so you can run 64-bit, that you are running ESX, but to succeed in this 64-bit support, you need the lm, you and vt, which you don't have.

• PowerEdge R710 and perc h700, disc not visible in OS

  Hey,.

  We have PowerEdge R710 with perc h700 raid 5 controller physical drives under raid6 running. We have recently added a sixth of the road which is much smaller (512 against 4 TBS) we want to just format and use it as a normal drive in the OS (Ubuntu 12.04.5).

  However, the drive is not visible in the operating system. When you enter the settings of the RAID controller that it says that the drive is READY but not configured and all the options to the title of operations are grayed out. How can we make this hard drive is visible in the operating system?

  See you soon

  The H700 does NOT support non RAID, so all records first must be configured on the controller, before its presentation to the BONE. You must configure (initialize) as a single drive RAID 0.

• PowerEdge 1900 and Poweredge 840 and NO hardware RAID SATA HD, FreeNAS with ZFS

  I searched these forums and the web in general a concise my questions answer, but nothing is done.  I just happen to find someone who is using 'old' technology and it retarget as much as you might think (I am a broke student by the way).

  I bought a Poweredge 1900 Server & server Poweredge 840 ebay about last year.  I've been busy and have yet to work with these two units.  I wanted to use the PE 1900 as a file server and then push a backup of these files on the server off site, the PE840.  I intended to buy four 1 TB or four disks SATA 2 to (WD Black or RED WD) for each system, respectively.

  I've been through a few videos on youtube the other day and discovered FreeNAS.  This seems to be a much better solution than the use of Ubuntu Server, but it also made me think about the hardware Raid with these systems.  If FreeNAS uses ZFS (software raid controller), you want to avoid a hardware raid controller.

  My current assumptions, please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the following:

  I think that each of these systems to support drives up to 2 TB?, I think that I can use the SATA drives and not SAS, four discs in each system drives.

  I believe that I can boot from USB flash drive (a quick, which I intend to install FreeNAS on which they recommend)

  I think I can connect readers to the Perc/Raid Controller controller (& just turn 'off' RAID), or simply directly on the motherboard.  (What woud be the advantages/disadvantages of the use of the card or simply by using the Council)

  I intend on working with what I have right now (cheap and available), then once I get this configuration work that I take it out of the sand/lab sandbox, upgrade the processors and ram up my budget will allow and go live with the installation program (if it is still possible)

  From now on, they are sitting in a corner, begging to consume energy, and fans of polute the soundscape with their cries (PE1900 precisely).  I know that I could pursue other options but I already these two units.

  I really want to utilze FreeNAS its serving capacity file and ZFS for its reliability.  Is it possible with this camera?, or should I junk them and move on?

  Thank you for your answer!

  I've done some research more and since FreeNAS is built off of FreeBSD supported hardware is the same.  I couldn't find a list for FreeNAS specifically so I looked to FreeBSD.  I was still confused about the material and decided to go forward with the poweredge 840, for two reaasons, there already 8 GB of ram and it is not as heavy to move on (from 1900). I shoot the raid controller (for simplicity) and I plugged in three 250 GB SATA drives and a 40 GB SSD.  I had to set the bios for the usb key is recognized and also due to adapt to be considered as a hard drive, then had to define the sequence of boot to the usb drive, acting as a hard drive.  Once all that has been said and done, I wrote my FreeNAS image on my USB and booted up.

  It took maybe 10 minutes and I was up and running (once I had configured the hardware and bios), I created a RaidZ (as proposed FreeNAS) and with my three 250 GB drives, it produced 453 GB of usable disk space.  The 40 GB SSD is used as L2ARC (from my cache of understanding), I tried the installer with and without the 40 GB SSD.  The difference was impressive, just opening the photos or streaming video on my laptop Win 8.1 (Dell 17r) is almost flawless, as if the files were stored locally.

  I was impressed by how quick and easy to use FreeNAS, simple and fast network shares can be configured with permissions that works quite simply not in less than 5 minutes.  I don't have Windows Server down, but generally configuration active directory takes a little more effort.

  I am satisfied for the moment and continues to experiment with the Poweredge 840 until I commit to a processor upgrade.  Once I acquire 16 GB memory for my Poweredge 1900 I will perform with her, as it has only 1 GB now, crazy.

  Thank you for your help.

• Dell PowerEdge T610 and ESXi 4.0 integrated

  Hello world

  My company has just purchased a new Dell PowerEdge T610 as our first server VM. They bought exactly the same configuration that Dell recommended for virtualization, which came with an option to get the ESXi 4.0 embedded. By charging Dell about $ 2000 for the premium service when buying the ESXi, society has decided that we will install ESXi embedded ourselves (on a SD card or USB key).

  And so the task was given to me

  Now, here's the problem I encounter. I downloaded the ESXi 4.0 installable with customization of Dell, and it seems to work fine on a USB key. But I can't find the instructions on how to actually install the embedded and non ESXi 4.0 installable version. I have ESXi 4.0 installable on the stick, but how do I get the embedded installed on it (or SD card). I see that people have done with ESXi 3.5, but all it seems to be there on the net about installing ESXi embedded yourself is only how to install the installable on the USB. It's a stupid, and built-in question is nothing more then a installable on a USB?

  Sorry for a newbie question...

  Thank you very much in advance!

  André

  integrated, installable should be the same, the difference is that with the integrated option you would not need to install

• PowerEdge 2900 and 2950 problems

  I need help please! I know my way around the PC, but I'm lost when it comes to servers. Recently, I picked up several servers which I had planned on setting up in my house. They all came without hard drives, I replaced it, and I was planning on installing Ubuntu 14.04.2 but I'm not one of them to boot from the CD drive. I went through the installation program and made sure the boot sequence begins with the CD, but they don't always work. I even hit f11 at startup up and forced to start from the CD but they say always "no found boot device" or something like that. The first is a PowerEdge 2900 Tower and the other is a PowerEdge 2950 rack mounting. I went through the 80 pages of post on the forum here and couldn't find something that helped. Please help because I don't know what else to do.
