• PowerEdge T110 II/PERC H200 drive Expansion Question

  We have a server PowerEdge T110-11 with two 600 GB 15K SCSI disks in a RAID 1 configuration via a PERC H200 controller.  This server is used in a production environment.  We want to add an extra internal drive on the server, but the readers (or reader) not be used for archival purposes.  Check-in will be only done periodically at defined intervals.  The plan of production a need for speed and redundancy of the RAID/SCSI setting.  The drive to check-in will not.  I don't know what is supported by the PERC H200 beyond two units SCSI that we have.  How would you recommend that we do that?  Should we buy two SATA drives and use them in a RAID 1 configuration as we have for SCSI drives?  All readers are saved on a Dell RD1000 disk cartridge system, in a way.  I don't know if we need RAID for this disk to archive, because it will be backed up regularly.  Others grow here to use an external USB drive for archiving, due to their very low cost.

  Thanks for your suggestions, you can offer.

  Hello.

  Support-T110 II up to 6 hard drives. It wouldn't hurt to implement these drives in RAID 1 or RAID 5 (for more than 2 disks) configuration just in case of failure before the archive is saved. If your archive is not so important, you can set the drives in RAID 0.

• PowerEdge T110ii using PERC S100 for RAID 10

  I read that I can use S100 to implement a RAID 10. I bought 4 new drives (1 TB). I have installed in the system. They're all here and work. I went to the disk installation and created the virtual and selected drive all THE DRIVES and RAID 10. I then RECORDED. Now, he wants to install the operating system. I click and get to the point where it says WHICH DRIVE DO YOU WANT to INSTALL? It shows all 4 disks. What's wrong? I thought that since it's now a RAID on 1 disk. So I thought that maybe it would do during the installation of the operating system. No, it does not. When I get the OS installed it shows now 4 readers of all readers in a distinct way. What I am doing wrong? What is the size of the disks? Now, I have done this process 3 times and I keep hope for something different.

  Hello

  You create the table of the system and Documentation or System Build and Update Utility disc management tools? The configuration of the berries for the S100 work well with this installation disc.

  Boot from THE RAID controller's BIOS via R CTL and create the matrix RAID it. Then boot from the installation disc and go to the section where you create the RAID array.

  Thank you

• PowerEdge T310 - PERC H200 RAID1

  Hi all

  Bit of a newbie when it comes to RAID configurations in servers and wanted to ask a question.
  We have a server with a raid Perc H200 controller and 2 x 250 GB SATA HDD, which has the OS and 2 x 500 GB SATA HDD data/file sharing, both configured in Raid 1
  to provide redundancy. My question is, we want to replace drive HARD 2 x 500 GB with 2x2TB readers.
  I'll be able to replace the first 500 GB drive with the largest one, reconstruction can replace the second disc. The new 2 TB HARD drive will always appear as a 500 GB and if so, what can do to increase capacity.

  Thank you

  Charles

  If you replace each disc and wait that he rebuild, your table will always be 500 GB, and there is no way to use the extra space.  You will need to backup your 500 GB RAID 1, remove the drives, insert larger disks, configure RAID 1, restore the data.

• T110-II w / Perc H200, using consumer SSD RAID1

  We just took in a T110-II with controller Perc H200 RAID addon

  We want to use it as follows:

  2 x SAS k 10 600 GB HDD RAID 1 (DATA)

  2 x SATA SSD 120 GB RAID 1 (START of the OS)

  Now the SAS 10 k in car I am able to create the RAID 1 volume, but when I try to create the SSD RAID 1 volume he always tells me that there is a problem writing in non-volatile memory.  The menu of the controller goes on a 'lag' super slow mode.  Requires a reboot, but then it get stuck at the 'screen of boot... '. ».  The only way to return to the menu of Perc H200 is to unplug all SSD.

  The SSD that I use ARE consumer Kingston KC300 level I also bought from Dell.

  What I am doing wrong?

  EDIT: SORRY POSTED IN THE WRONG FORUM. MOD PLEASE MOVE TO CORRECT FORUM

  Question 1: where is a HCL for the H200, it I have a reference on the next command.

  http://Accessories.us.Dell.com/SNA/genselector.aspx?c=us&CS=04&l=en&manufact=694&s=BSD&sType=7&DGC=IR&CID=274098&lid=5124587&family=PowerEdge%20Servers

  This is not a complete list. You must call spare parts if the drive you are looking for is not available online.

  mbze430

  Question 2: The firmware to start for the H200 said that it is 7.15.xxxx is that correct?  Cause, I'm looking at the technical support from Dell and the version number of the firmware is much smaller.

  What is listed as the firmware version in the newspapers during the process of our PERCs controller initialization and controller is generally not what we call the version of the firmware. He is usually listed as the version of the package by the controller.

  Thank you

• BSOD drives when adding T110 ii with PERC H200 and SBS 2011 or Server 2008 R2-

  Bought the server next in November 2011

  PowerEdge T110 II

  ManufDate: 24/10/2011 market: 06/11/2011
  RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4) 1333 mhz UDIMM DualRanked
  Processor: Xeon E3-1270 3.4 Ghz, 8 M cache, Turbo, Quad Core/8 t (80W)
  RAID: Map Perc H200
  Drive: 2 x 600GB 15K RPM SCSI 6Gbps 3 .5in - RAID 1 Mirror SA
  SBS 2011 standard x 64 (works on Win 2008R2)

  SBS 2011 installed without a problem and the server works perfectly since December 2011.  Backups occurring twice per day to a USB attached hard drive external 1.5 to and OS patches applied on a monthly basis without problem.

  Company need more storage so it wanted to add 2 drives more (same spec as to purchase). I thought to try to turn the RAID 1 pair in RAID 10 set in order to keep the simple logical configuration (a single large logical volume which now seems to be 1.2 TB in size instead of 600 GB) - could get but not really someone to describe if it could be done for non-destructive way that requires not the complete system installation/restoration - so opted for just add the 2 new drives as a RAID extra 1 pair in order to not reach a stable, boot, partition operating system running on the current RAID 1 pair.

  Contracted for the Dell technician to come out to install 2 new readers, be clear that the service was not complete until I had an extra pair of RAID 1, appearing as a usable operating system.

  Technician arrived, installed readers, set the new RAID pair in the H200 configuration utility, rebooted the system and when the BONES began to load had a blue screen BSOD. Technician then disconnected drives newly associated (the level of the cables) to see if the system would boot - BSOD again on restart (both of now get us this "pleated" feel if you know what I mean). Then went into the raid configuration utility, removed the new raid 1 volume (which, by the way, is appeared above the one existing in the list - which is not very intuitive that one that has been added is Volume 1 and the existing old is Volume 2 in the utility). After the triple-checking that we had the right volume (it showed that 8% initialized over the other which was complete, as well as the corresponding drive port numbers), we have REMOVED the new volume (at this point I don't remember if we had replaced the cables for the readers to perform this action).

  At startup the system rebooted normally - we were all so relieved, don't talk over retries at the moment.

  Talk to Dell there seems to be a problem with the PERC H200 firmware or drivers. Has not affected the config initial of a single pair of RAID 1, however caused problems when you attempt to add another pair. Escalation of Dell support said that has happened several times with Windows 2008 (which comes from the SBS 2011) systems. They recommended that the firmware update and the PERC H200 card drivers.

  I turned to the technician and asked when we could plan the updates of the firmware and driver and told him that they wouldn't do that (not sure that I blame the poor guy, he was sweating bullets after the BSOD 2nd).  I explained that we have contracted for installation services which included ensuring that the pair of extra disk appeared also usable for the operating system and he said that I needed to talk to Dell that.

  You wanted to post information on issues with PERC H200 BSOD when adding disks on Win2008 (or SBS 2011).

  Waiting for response from Dell as to who will come on-site to complete the installation.

  Any info about the question to know if the update of the firmware/driver will solve the problem or if I can do with reliability a disk 2 RAID 1 for a 4 disk RAID 10 conversion without having to reinstall/restore system would be appreciated.

  There is NO migration route TO or FROM a nested RAID levels (10, 50, 60) on one of the PERC H series, so it goes from 1 to 10 of RAID is not an option (without backup/replace/create/restore).

  Firmware release notes do not indicate that a large part is added (although the "bugs" may be enough):

  -Addition of Support for > 2.2 to SAS hard drives

  -Small bug fixes

  I have not seen/heard talk of this problem (I don't have a H200), but it is possible that an update of the firmware can change the way it handles the new disks, newly configured RAID arrays, or even how it presents to the OS.

  Do you know if the technician checked to see if the original VD was marked as boot VD?

• Dell Power Edge R410 & Dell Perc H700 modular F2WGY

  Hi guys

  Need some advice please, a few weeks ago, we bought a Dell R410. This came with a modular 6/ir Perc. However, when we arrived at the installation of drives we noticed that the controller did not recognize disks larger than 2 TB. It's not good because we need to use 2 x 3 and 2 x 500 GB disks in a RAID 1 Configuration.

  After Googling autour, I came to the conclusion that the card that it came with the "Perc 6/ir' does not support disks larger than 2 TB.

  So, I advanced and bought a new modular a "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" controller which apparently supports disks more great.

  the controller came yesterday so I removed the old Perc 6/ir controller from the slot in the bottom of the map editing and trendy "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" modular at the same place. : Photo of slot, I inserted H700

  H700 card: see picture

  PERC 6/ir map: see picture

  Anyway, once I inserted the card and started, I was presented with the error; "PCIE training error" system HALT.

  Obviously this would not start any further. So I brought the wrong card? im confused at the moment between modular and integrated? the pcie slot is low for integrated only cards?

  I then add the new map on the PCIE Top slot. the system then started and he could see the card. However, it found no readers?

  What exactly I do bad will this card work at all? or I'm out of luck and need another card?

  Cappilio,

  The problem you are experiencing is due to the model of the H700. Map H700 modular version is actually designed for the blade server Poweredge series. The model that you would need is the H700i which is the version that is integrated, designed to go into the white storage controller slot you are talking about. The references are KK67X and CNXVV. The latest model of the H700 is the H700A which is the adapter, it's the model that is necessary for installation in a PCIe location.

  This link explains in detail in the overview H700 - http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/perc-technical-guidebook.pdf

  Let me know if it helps.

• PERC H200 on SBS2011 RAID configuration

  Hello

  Is someone can you please tell me if there is a management tool of Windows OS database for Perc H200 Dell RAID controller? I spent hours searching the web and the Dell Web site looking for an other than the utility based BIOS configuration utility (which sucks). I want to be able to check the status of my RAID1 mirror without having to stop the server. Seems reasonable. I was always able to do on the HP kit.

  There are many mentions of Dell OpenManage, but when I downloaded and installed it tells me that it cannot be installed on a domain controller. Obviously nothing I can do about it on an SBS system.

  Is there another utility of Windows, I can use?

  This information must be so easy to find, but Dell support site is poorly organized, so I hope someone out there can help you.

  Thank you very much

  Paul

  Not really hard to find... you just know what to look for.

  OpenManage Server Administrator:

  ftp.dell.com/.../OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WIN-7.2.0-6945.exe

  Download and run to extract, choose custom and ensure that storage management is installed.  Add yourservernameoripaddress:1311 to the Intranet Zone of IE.

  The supported version may depend on the system that you are using this, but this latest version should work on most, if not all, who can have an installed H200.

• Reference Dell PERC 6 / i stand?

  I have a Setup Raid 6 on a Dell PERC 6 / i on a Supermicro H8DGU

  running a trial of the esxi 5.5u2

  No matter what I try, I can't do the Dell raid card is displayed in the storage adapters. I don't get any device also appear for passthrough if it means something.

  I have the AMD - V active and I had once made quick initialization (it's now the initialization in the background) I saw him appear on the list as a possible drive to install esxi. That tells me the esxi sees the card and the raid. But once I'm in vsphere nothing appears. Have not found a lot of messages from people not able to pick up this card so I think that the problem is just me. Ideas of things to check?

  But I guess that even with 'Boot Support' is enabled on Perc, is yet to appear in ESXi?

  I just checked your listing of motherboards to Supermicro. It employs riser card for the PCIe slots. Just to rule out it because there are a lot of wiring on the Perc: the card is well adjusted to the port of mounting?

  You can check if ESXi usually sees the device by runiing "lspci - vvv" on the CLI/ssh. It lists the devices seen by the kernel, if Perc is not here I would consider the Perc is defective or some strange PCIe connection problem.

  I have a Perc 6 / I works well for a client on a DELL Poweredge 2950 ex personalised Dell VMWare 5.5 Update 2 but on SAS, disks. But it's all DELL hardware and software side. I assume that the custom DELL VMWare image works only on DELL systems.

  I have found several traces as the Perc 6 / I could run a little crazy if you use disks not certified by DELL. Also the Perc 6 controllers do not seem to be supported more than 2 TB of drives (see for example: disk HARD Support for 2.5 to 3 TB drives and beyond - TechCenter Extras - Wiki - TechCenter Extras - Dell Community)

  So, you can probably run the test to disconnect all readers of your first and remove the Perc firmware RAID configuration and see if ESXi detects and it lists. If it does not help either I ran the test on different materials/mobo.

• RAID 1 on PERC H200 showing the two failure predicts hd

  I have a Poweredge R210 with Raid 1 on a PERC H200 controller.  I ran the task of consistency check on the disk virtual and got a bunch of error ID 2350 reading the newspaper of alerts:

  There was an error of irrecoverable during the rebuild disk media or recovery operation

  -they have been saved to disk 0 and disk 1. Is it possible to rebuild the mirror on that?  Both hard drives are showing "failure foretold" in OMSA.  From what I can tell, replace a hard drive at the same time does not work, as resynchronization will fail.

  Ashevis,

  You are currently able to boot on the table? If yes then we run a Dset on the server to check the log of raid controllers. It might actually be a punched tape of parity. That's when the bad blocks of failure provided are rebuilt on the remaining good disks. That is what can cause both be showing predicted failure. Now, it may be also that readers just hit the threshold at about the same time and scored them both. We will be able to say that, with the controller log.

  If it's a punched tape of parity, then you will need to recreate the table and the operating system and restore from a backup. No doubt.

  If it's just that they are marked and then he would have a chance of recovery by rebuilding each, but there is always a risk of failure pred transfer of bad blocks, during reconstruction, the new disk. What causes a puncture.

  So, in summary, that the best course of action would be to backup the data, recreate and do a restore.

• PERC H200 RAID driver

  Buenos dias,

  Estoy mirando comprar a servidor para the tests, y queria choice esta controladora PERC H200, pero leei as bajo VMWARE EX 4.1 no rinde muy nice, alguien a tenido the experience?

  MUCHAS gracias

  The H200 controller does not support BBU (battery write cache stamped) which is absolutely necessary for disk performance on ESX (i) with local storage VMFS data warehouses. No matter what controller you get make sure there the fallback option.

• 3 physical disks in 1 TB in RAID 5 with only its 1 TB usable space incorrectly? Using a Dell PERC 6 / i controller.

  We have a server Dell PowerEdge with a PERC 6 / i controller. There are three physical disks for 1 TB. I created a RAID 5 array, but it seems that there is only 1 TB of usable space after you initialize the virtual disk RAID 5.

  What is wrong? I Googled what should be the size, and I think we should not 1 TB, 2 TB of usable space?

  Too bad. It looks like the physical disks are 500 GB in size, which makes sense.

  Since you're under 2008 R2, you might be able to run the Package version of update for Microsoft Windows, but since 2008 R2 is not supported on the T7600, it may not work properly, then you can try the hard drive version.  Since the H800 is not supported on the T7600 at all, it is possible that none of the Dell drivers will work.

• R210 with PERC H200 will increase the possibilities for HD

  I have a PE R210 w/PERC H200.  The RAID configuration is RAID 1 2 HD.  I was looking at options to increase the storage capacity.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that it is not possible to extend the VFD by improving each hd one at a time to rebuild the RAID VD, then its extension to occupy unused space in HD.  There is no other HD slots available on the R210, along with options to do I have if I want to keep the current VD but increase the storage space on the server?

  Backup, replace the disks with the biggest, configure RAID, restore from a backup.

• Failure of the BMC Communication - PowerEdge T110ii

  Hello

  Unexpectedly, during a reboot, I noticed the BMC was a failure of communication on our PowerEdge T110ii.

  -I was wondering, inability to communicate with what exactly? (not sure about the architecture of this)

  -no idea why is such an error occurs?

  -is the solution to this problem reinstalling the BMC firmware?  If so, is there's special procedure to follow?

  Thank you, any help or comments would be appreciated!  : o).

  Denis

  Cmechtilde,

  It is possible that the problem is the firmware, as you are a few updates back. You can find the updated version here. What I would say is to turn off the server and move the jumper on the motherboard to clear the NVRAM, as indicated below, after you have moved the jumper then feed to clear the NVRAM. Once clear then feed to the operating system and then run the update.

  

  Let me know if that solves the problem.
