• PowerEdge 2900 showing predicted failure after disk replacement

  Hello

  I posted this same message in the forum of the disk drives, then I realized there's a specific forum for disks hard server so I'm copying here.

  We have a Poweredge 2900 with HDs 2x500Gb on RAID-1. One of the drives has failed and we replaced it with an identical disk that works very well (same brand, model number Seagate, etc.), but without a Dell PN.

  After replacement, the controller began to rebuild the RAID, but it shows "predicted failure = Yes" for this new album. The disc is currently still under reconstruction.

  One thing to notice is that apparently the Perc firmware is outdated. OpenManage shows that the current Perc 6 / i firmware version is 6.0.2 - 0002, and the minimum required version of the firmware is 6.2.0 - 0012. If I go to the Dell support site and enter a label for the Server service, it shows me a download available for the Perc firmware with version 6.3.3 - 0002.

  The questions are:

  -Is generally allowed to use not Dell certified readers if they are of the same brand and model as the other disk?

  -How would I determine the source for the warning of predicted failure?

  -It would have something to do with obsolete Perc firmware? Are there risks associated with Perc firmware upgrade?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help!

  Update for our fans to the forum thread. Original poster concluded that used replacement drive was indeed bad. He is later replaced by a good drive and will update the server accordingly.

• PowerEdge 2950 HDD Predictive Failure

  Hi Experts

  We have PowerEdge 2950 with 5 RAID PERC 6 / i integrated. It has 3 hard drives SAS and is to show the Predictive Failure HARD drive for two SAS drives and each HARD drive is 400 GB. The same size disk is not available now and the seller asks us to use 450 GB HARD drive. Is it possible or we should insist on getting 400 GB SAS HARD drive?

  Concerning

  It will work, but there are some risks involved.  Here is a good post on spiceworks where few people are talking about possible problems.

• PERC H700 RAID 5, 3 disks, 1 Reporting failed and 1 predictive failure

  Hello:

  I have a PowerEdge T410 with a PERC H700, RAID 5 with 3 disks.  The controller reported a failed drive so I replaced the week last with a drive of new/refurbished.  Now only 1 week later it reported another drive has failed and the drive replaced as predictive failure.  Looks suspicious, i.e. I am doubting the controller card.

  I think updating the firmware of the controller first, but not sure if I should replace the faulty drive first, i.e. If updating the firmware could cause table failure.

  Also, if I install OpenManage on a virtual machine (host is ESXi 4.1), OM sees the controller?

  Thank you!

• Replacing the T410 Raid 5 SAS HD showing "predictive failure notification.

  I have a server poweredge T410 which has 2 virtual drives, a Raid 1 mirrored VD and a Raid 5 VD (consists of 4 hard disks from 146 GB SAS).  There is no replaceable parts hot.  The physical disk 1:0:5 began to show "next failure (2094 reporting error) in OMSA so I know I need to replace this drive."  Readers that seem to be replaceable hot, but I want to make sure I follow the proper procedure by replacing the drive, that I've never done this before.  Can someone please confirm that the following steps are correct?

  In OMSA, I'm going to ' storage '-' virtual disks' -' physical disks ", and on disk 5 (the one with the predicted failure) select"offline"under 'Tasks', and then run hit.  Then, I open the collar and wait for hard drives lights to stop flashing.  Remove the disc 1:0:5 and put in the replacement drive.  Then, in OMSA go to "Storage"-"Virtual disks" and select "Assign/Unassign dedicated Hot Spare" in the menu tasks to the bottom and click on 'run '.  What I read, the reader should automatically start rebuilding at that time and that should be all that it is him, correct?  If I missed anything or whatever it is listed wrong, someone please let me know.  I read in other posts of people getting BSODS and crash there servers because they have missed something and I really want to avoid that.

  Also, this swap can and must occur while the server is online, correct?

  What controller RAID do you have?  A BSOD is NOT normal and indicates another problem.

  If the drive does not start rebuilding automatically, you need to affect whether a relief to start reconstruction.  If the disk is initially as 'strangers', it first must be CLEARED before that you can assign as a hot spare.

• Virtual disk degraded and predictive failure Messages

  Hi Experts

  We get following errors in OpenManage for RAID 10. There are 8 hard drives, and one of them creates this problem. It is green / flashing orange.

  A foreign configuration has been found. : 0 controller (PERC H710 Mini)

  The 21.1.0 - 0007 current version firmware is older than the 21.2.0 - 0007 version firmware required for a model 0x1F38 controller: controller 0 (PERC H710 Mini)

  Virtual disk degraded: virtual disk 0 (virtual disk 00) 0 controller (PERC H710 Mini)

  Predictive Failure reported: physical disk 0:1:5 Controller 0, slot 0

  Event log: lack of PD: SasAddr = 0x5000c500437c0025, ArrayRef = 2, RowIndex = 0 x 1, EnclPd = 0 x 20, Slot = 5. : 0 controller (PERC H710 Mini)

  Storage Service event log: Predictive failure: PD 05 (e0x20/s5): controller 0 (PERC H710 Mini)

  See the errors, we bought new HARD drive and need your advice how we should move forward? Should we take offline from the old hard drive and then warm the new HARD drive? or we just need to upgrade the firmware of raid controller?

  If the disc is in a foreign State (or 'disappeared'), then it is already 'offline'... you simply remove it and replace it with a new one.  ALWAYS replace the replaceable drives to hot 'hot', then make sure that the drivers and firmware are updated once the reconstruction is complete and the system is sound (start with iDRAC and the BIOS, then the other firmware system).

• H200 RAID 1 predicted failures

  Hi all

  I seem to have a strange problem with a RAID 1 array on a Dell R410 server. I urgently need some quick, if possible responses. It'd be so grateful.

  After the blue Server armored one Sunday evening I started to study and found that according to Dell OpenManage console drive 0 was a "predicted Failrure. The indicator light for drive 0 on the front of the server was also orange flashing, probably to indicate this problem. Also, when I checked my backup logs, I see actually between 3 and 4 reported CRC errors.

  I called Dell support and after have run me a DSET report and a Diagnostic test readers online they arranged for a replacement drive. We replaced the wrong disc, waited for the RAID rebuild and subsequently found to our amazement that Drive 1 has now reports a "predicted failure.

  I called Dell again, and they said that it could just be a coincidence. I thought that this is not an unreasonable thing to say, so we arranged to drive 1 to be replaced also. As you have guessed, we have replaced the Drive 1, waited for the RAID to rebuild and here, now drive 0 reports still "predicted failure.

  Then of course, we now know that something's wrong here. We thought that maybe he actually not related correctly as faulty disks, so we made an update of the BIOS on the server, but also updates to the Firmware on the iDRAC 6, as well as the controller of H200 himself. But it has not made a difference.

  Naturally I called Dell again, and they have now made arrangements for the controller RAID itself to be replaced, but also at least one drive (but maybe both, if necessary).

  My question is:
  (1) what could be the cause?
  (2) is the last solution offered by Dell, the best and the most logical next step to fix this, or could it be something else they did not examine replacing yet?
  (3) if the problem is caused by bad sectors, bad sectors can't jump / migrate from one disk to another, they can?
  I guess the worst thing that can happen is that whatever data resident in these bad sectors is now unreadable and unrecoverable, even from my backups? (since there now resynced to the two discs) Or are there other things to consider?

  Having never troubleshoot-performed a H200 heard, I can't tell what you'd find in a newspaper of controller - or if there even is (ex-SAS 6/iR have not one), but you probably have a range of corrupt or damaged.  He may have started with a drive bad - or even two - but if the table has a missing or damaged part on one disc, and he can't read this location even the other player to fix, it signals a problem.  There are two types of failures predicted - physical (drive reports it has a problem and is only a matter of time before, he is asked to do something, he can no longer do - disks will fail diagnosis) and logical (data in the table between the members is unavailable/irreconcilable and it's only a matter of time before a location is requested that the controller cannot provide specific information for causing read this disk failure - drives pass Diagnostics) (if healthy).

  Unfortunately, there is no 'solution' to this otherwise than to drop the table and re-create it.  Running periodic consistency checks can help to mitigate the consequences of these types of errors.

• 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."

• Installation HP Windows Server 2003 on Dell PowerEdge 2600

  I'm trying to implement a PowerEdge 2600 for use as a test platform to run SQL Server 2005 scenarios.

  I bought the system off eBay without BONES.

  I bought a copy of Windows Server 2003 R2/5 cal off Ebay too.  When the OS disks arrived disk #1 is a HP "for distribution only with a HP Server new."  Version.

  When I tried to boot the system on drive n ° 1, the system goes by it's starting controls and then presents the message:

  The system is not a supported platform.

   

  1. is legal to sell and use the specific operating system OEM?  Apparently the systems OEM disks provided with finished up having Linux installed on them.

  2. other OEM/HP disks would work with Dell platform?

  Thank you!

  
  

• Error: «Please insert a blank disc into the CD drive (E :).» Once Windows Media Player detects a new disc, it will start automatically burning"

  Hi, we are currently running Windows XP SP3.  My daughter tries to download a song from Windows Media Player, she needs for her class dance.  It just download the song bad by accident without problem.  Now she's trying to download the song using the same CD (CD - R80) and it gives sound this error: «Please insert a blank disc in the CD drive (E :).» Once Windows Media Player detects a new disc, it will start automatically burning."  Someone please help.  She needs this to practice his senior dance solo.

• I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate, it slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly

  Hello

  I installed an external USB connected hard drive Seagate to copy some movies and pictures of my HP laptop with Vista, but it became a big problem. It slowed the computer and check the new disc repeatedly. Then it wouldn't start without the external drive at all but it was working fine once he was conducting with the external hard drive. So thinking I can outsmart the computer, I uninstalled the drive from Control Panel. Now it primer not at all. The computer lights up briefly and then goes out of itself almost immediately, is there a solution to this? Thank you

  Original title: startup problem

  Hi SomBhattacharya,

  Please try the possible fix following first thanks to Carey Frisch:

  1. open the BIOS of the motherboard.
  2. find where it says Priority Boot Device, then select CD/DVD-ROM 1, 2nd Hard Drive and disable all the rest.
  3 find somewhere in the BIOS where it says BOOT USB, Wake on USB, etc. and disable all unnecessary options.

  And second if it does not help, you can try the following with Blue Michael:

  Local Geek Squad had me intentionally set the BIOS to the correct order, then re-order and SAVE.
  It worked, even if the list of the BIOS was always in the right order.

  I hope this helps!

• Predictive Failure reported

  Hello

  Open handle Version 7.2.0 on the T420 5 Server raid

  I got msg alert

  Status - not criticism - "" Predictive Failure reported: physical disk 0:1:3 Controller 0, slot 0 ".

  Should I be worry?

  Need to replace SAS?

  Where can I find the instructions

  I didn't try to continue.and yes it's replacement Dell certified car.

  Drive 0:1:3 - was Fhurt - (20 hours after the alert msg like you said - THEFLASH1932-)

  I found an other Dell sas 600 and push it to 5 the number of cells.

  The start of server to rebuild 0:1:5 by itself.

  The server -(4 hours) to build 0:1:5, and then the status changes to "online".

  Everything seems fine!

  I tried to assaing 0:1:4 as a relief once again, and now it works!

  It looks as if only it was too late to try and assign the drive as a hot spare.  Unable to assign the drive as a hot spare when you've got the reader physics alert\error.

  Thank you THEFLASH1932 I really understand that.

• 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.

• PERC 5 / i predictive failure - Raid 0

  PE 2950, two drives in Raid 0, a predictive failure. I'm not clear how to replace this drive, it's hot, but I know that I can just swap the drive. This is the boot drive. Can I add a spare and then?

  Hello

  There is no method of recovery for RAID 0. You need to delete and recreate the table to replace the drive. If you need to store data, then you will need to back up before deleting the table.

  Thank you
