• PowerEdge 2950 error - CONTROLLER RAID Baseport FC48h does not

  Hi all

  I went in today to find the following on my PE 2950 problem:

  PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller

  Adapter at Baseport FC48h is not responding

  No adapter.

  The yellow light on the HARD drive Bay 0

  Can someone help me solve this problem, there was also a defective battery as well.

  Help, please!

  -hiphoptech

  Hi team,

  I FIXED IT:

  SOLUTION/RESOLUTION:

  When I open the server, the battery was still in charge PERC i / 6.

  What I did everything first carefully remove/replace the battery on the controller and just reinstall the battery itself.

  I pressed the power button for 20 seconds with the battery removed from the system and then 20 seconds after that the new battery has been applied.

  Turned on the server noticed that he finds the adapter (received a message in the POST, he was recovered, but the cached data have been lost)

  Press any key to continue or C to load the configuration utility

  You press any button, it reloaded the same prompt and then kicking over the configuration utility. No option has been found which would allow me to load the configuration if necessary. He was only let me delete VD in the controller options. I thought, cooldown may simply need the STATION to recharge, so I took the chance and just rebooted (you mind FORCED ME off system physically even if CTRL ALT DEL RESTART it was on the screen.)

  When I loaded it HDD Bay 0 flashed first, and then other readers, I got the amber light again.

  Reloading of the POST did not show these errors 2nd time around.
  I reloaded all with the post office to see if she took the old configuration and thankfully loaded again.

  It was magical! Crazy adrenline rush here guys... Sorry... and it loaded everything back to the order of March as planned.

  Here's how I fixed that. Thanks for being a vehicle for my troubleshooting!

• Change a failing drive - RAID Dell Poweredge H310 - RAID 1

  Hi guys,.

  Thank you for everything that support you in these forums. I'm new here.

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server on my new place of work. It is Dell Poweredge H310 RAID controller on it. It is configured in RAID-1, with 2 discs.

  Now my question is: in the event that one of the drives breaks down:

  1 - I should insert the new drive into the slot where the failed disk has been inserted, or in the following location?

  2 - will be the new drive automatically "copied" with the healthy disk data or it will need some work?

  I read the manual and chapter 'Replacement year Online physical disk', says the following, but I don't know the answer to these questions:

  1. in the management of virtual disks window, select Virtual Disk # and press the arrow key down until the physical disks is highlighted.

  2. press arrow right key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk.

  3. press the down arrow and select the desired physical disk that you want to replace. Press to view the list of operations permitted on the disc.

  4. Select Replace and then start.

  5. tap on the down arrow to select a replacement disk and then press the SPACEBAR to select the disk.

  6. click OK to start the replacement.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Videoclocknet,

  You must remove the failed disk and replace it with another similar drive on the same niche. When you choose the following location, be sure to follow the steps in the virtual disk management screen (VD) as you have indicated.

  The failed drive will be replaced and the replacement drive will be one on the following location. Either way is perfectly fine. You can then monitor status of the VD and the reconstruction process using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

  2 disks configured in RAID 1 act as a reflection of the other. Failure of 1 drive ensures that the same data are available on the other. When you replace the failed disk, the rebuilding process begins, and the same data gets automatically copied.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  Hiphoptech

  You might consider updating the controller firmware (after are updated BIOS, ESM and the controller driver), which controls the State of the battery.  Otherwise, the battery that you accessed should be good... it is not really other "types" of batteries that will work.

• 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 R230 add RAID controller

  Need advice: the goal is to add Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H330 server Dell Poweredge R230.

  Originally, the data connection is to the motherboard with a mini SAS connector, power cord is related to the Board of Directors itself as well go with a connector 6-pin. Given that the new RAID controller has a different SAS (SFF8644) mini connector, I can't use the original cable.

  So try to solve that I bought 4 X SFF-8482 SAS a cable - Mini SAS SFF 8643. It would connect the RAID controller for readers. (THIS)

  I also added a power cords: 4 Pin IDE power Molex 1 male to 3 x female Splitter & 2 x 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-E adjust Power Supply Cable (THIS) and (THIS). It was supposed to feed readers - but is not and they won't turn on.

  No idea why? Other ideas of ways to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  1. initially, I understood the topology based on the information on the user manual, see the attached figure describing Cabling two 3.5-inch hard drives 'to the PERC card. Isn't this relevant?

  The information I had previously provided are based on the wiring of the Controller PERC H330 with basket 4 x 3.5 "which I assumed you had based on your notes. Thanks for your clarification and ignore these P/Ns. Here are the cables you need.

  • Signal and cable LED to P/N 6R7VT the H330 controller to connect to the motherboard
  • Cable SAS junction A H330 for 2 hard drives or optical drives, P/N TTN3V
  • Hard/optical drive power cable from the system board P/N N9P7R for 4 HD (shipped with your server. Use only 2 connectors) or P/N VXR2 for 2 hard drives.

  IB - EN1

  457CH, TWV59, 6R7VT: I can not find an any of them on the dell Web site, you can share links?

  I would recommend that you directly contact Dell sales in your area.

  Thank you.

• 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

  Hello

  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.

  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.

• 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.

  Finally, moving into the world of 64-bit, thank God.

  Welcome to 2009! (Sorry, I understand the difficulties from old tech in some organizations, I do).

  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?

  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.

  htc2010

  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?

  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

  Steve

  "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.

• RAID controller does not have bootable VD

  Hello

  I have a R730 with all the recently updated firmware to the latest versions to try to solve this problem. I need to host a Nvidia K20 (a little old but qualified GPGPU). UEFI turned off so I

  I have 2 hard drives in raid mirror (1) and you set write-back and no read ahead (for the purposes of this problem).

  I can boot from USB and install CentOS on the virtual disk but the virtual disk does not appear in the menu of bootable devices. If I reactivate UEFI, then the drive appears in the list of bootable devices (but the GPU blocks the system before startup - crash looks like this: http://moufie.blogspot.com/2015/01/technology-system-detected-exception.html )

  I have 3 other R730s who have only a single drive and no raid controller. They all work just by turning off UEFI and without further changes.

  Hello

  First thing I did was an update of the bios so I'm on 2.2.5 which should be the last.

  2 mirrored drives are 1.8 to 10K RPM SAS 12Gbps 4Kn 2.5 in hard Hot-plug
  Drive.

  The GPU does not comes with the system

  The processor is E5-2660 v4

  I have now reduced the problem until the disks. I mentioned that I had other R730 nodes that work. These nodes have these discs: 300GB 15K RPM SAS 2.5 Hot plug hard in 12Gbps
  Drive, 3.5 in. I took 2 of them on work systems and raided their together in my non-working system and that it resolves. So I think it's the combination of 4 kN size 1.8 to and off UEFI which confuses the bios and prevents the disks appear as bootable.

  Now that I start to google by searching for the correct terms I'm going with this:

  

  on page 10, it confirms that 4 kN is only supported using the UEFI.

  Thanks for your time!

• PowerEdge T110 raid necessary emergency assistance

  Hi all

  I have dell server poweredge t110 without raid controller card

  When I try to configure raid 1 hard disk SATA 2 motherboard it configured properly on the motherboard, but when I try to install any OS, I found it see them 2 HDD, not one

  so I'm going back to the motherboard, I found the not configured raid

  1. I need management system capable of boot CD for dell poweredge t110?

  I bought the controller raid (Dell SAS 5I Raid Controller UN939 - UCS51) when I put it on the server, I found when I start my server, but when I press CTRL + C to set up raid but I can't find my sata hard drives

  2 is compatible with poweredge t110 sata Server (Dell SAS 5I Raid Controller UN939 - UCS51) + hard drive?

  3 - if (Dell SAS 5I Controller Raid un939 - UCS51) not comapatible with my case what is the best work of raid controller with poweredge T110 with a disk sata hard 4 to make them raid 1

  "but what I get from your advice (JW063 - SAS, SAS6/IR controller card) cannot configure hard disk of 2 TB sata raid 1 and shown 1 TB > is it good?

  N °

  A SAS 6/iR may use up to 2 TB of hard drives.  It also has a virtual disk BOOTABLE maximum (table) size of 2 TB.  So, YOU have the following items:

  • 2x2TB disks configured as 2 TB RAID 1, bootable or not.
  • 2x1To configured as a 1 TB RAID 1, disk bootable or not.
  • 2x1To configured as 2 TB RAID 0, disk bootable or not.
  • 2x1To disks configured as first 1 TB RAID 1 (bootable), AND 2x1To set up as second 1 TB RAID 1 disks.
  • 2x2TB disks configured as first 2 TB RAID 1 (bootable), AND 2x2TB disks configured as a second 2 TB RAID 1.
  • 2x1To disks configured as first 1 TB RAID 1 (bootable), AND 4x1TB disks configured as a second 4 TB RAID 0 (not bootable).

  You can NOT have the following:

  • 2x2TB disks configured in 4 TB RAID 0 for OS bootable.
  • 4x1TB disks configured in 4 TB RAID 0 for OS bootable.

  "but my case is that I want to 4 TB (4 sata hard disk 1 TB) configured for RAID 1 and shown 2 TB after raid 1.

  You can't have a 4 drive RAID 1 - a RAID 1 requires only and exactly 2 disks.  A RAID 1 with two 1 TB drives is equal to only 1 TB of total space.  The only way to configure both drives of 1 TB to 2 TB show is to make a RAID 0 2-disc.  RAID 0 is dangerous, because if a disk fails, all of THE data on BOTH drives is unusable.

  That's what you do:

  2x1To first 1 TB RAID 1 for operating system drives.
  2x1To records in second 1 TB RAID 1 for your partition data per second.

  All,

  We have been a customer of vSAN VMware 6.0 for the last 6 months of our environment entirely on servers of Cisco C240 M4SX with the Cisco 12 G SAS integrated Raid Controller.   Everything in the environment was working well until we started to bring in data warehouse loads in the environment and began to notice performance around latency of disk and most important issues still outstanding IO high.  After that ESXtop and ESXCFG examination we found that the length of the queue announced to the adapter ESXi has been only 234 however the VMware HCL Announces 895; 234 is below minimum spec of 256 to correctly implement vSAN.  We have worked diligently with VMware on it to try different versions certified and non certified driver async for this raid controller in addition to the most recent firmware for the raid controller.  Regardless of the change of the depth of the queue remained 234.  The presence of FBWC affect the depth of queue announced to the operating system?  VMware support has indicated that it is clearly a problem "hardware".  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

  Had the chance to spend some time in the laboratory and removed the cache module.

  After that, I now get "207", so I would say it's confirmed that 1,2,4 GB cache modules are used to increase the depth/length of the queue for these controllers.
