Problems with the RAID on ESXi 4

Hello

Although I have been using VMware Server for a few years, I am beginner with ESXi and would like some advice please.

I'm putting a laboratory machine using the following environment:

Dell PowerEdge SC1425

3 GB RAM

disks SCSI 2 x 73 GB attached to an Adaptec 39320 b. RAID controller with integrated HOSTRAID support.

I worked on how to configure oem.tgz to recognize the RAID controller and have successfully upgraded to ESXi 4.1.0.

Where I struggle is as follows:

I wanted to install ESXi on two SCSI drives, configured as RAID1 mirror.

I started by setting up a RAID1 with the Adaptec BIOS table. The problem is that when I installed ESXi, it would not fully start, claiming that I have two drives with the same UUID.

So, I did it again, reset the controller (i.e. no RAID). This time, ESXi installed and running successfully, but as I suspected it would be started from a single disc and shows the other drive as a data store.

Is there something I'm missing here? Should I persevere with RAID1 with the Adaptec BIOS configuration, or is there something in ESXi I should use?

It does not appear on the HCL, and I expect that the card is also well supported and a RAID device. The fact that the card does not appear in the simple.map may indicate that it is an OEM version. Adaptec card BIOS can be flashed so I would check that. There are versions of pilot listed as entries of subtext of the HCL. See if there is any meaning with those.

  • Problems with the raid PERC S100 controller

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought a Dell R410 server with a raid PERC S100 without search controller before that. Problem is that I need to install a Linux OS and as it seems, this controller does not support linux.

    Because I was in a hurry, but they can also help in my situation, I bought the following cables:

    Apparently, I don't have a slot for connecting the cables... :)

    So my question is. Is there a solution to this problem? I tried to disable/remove the S100, but the MB does not detect hard drives. The server is with a bottom of basket.

    I actually found this thread in the forums-> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/906/t/19472600.aspx, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the cables posted in the thread.

    Here is an actual photo of the machine:

    This server will support the SAS 6/ir, Perc 6 / i and controllers Perc H700. you will need to run linux on this server. The SAS 6/ir is limited to RAID 0 and 1; Perc run several RAID levels.

    If you get the SAS 6/ir or Perc 6 / i, you will need this cable:

    69V70 cable, 6i/SAS PERC 6i/5 at the bottom of basket of 6G

    For the H700, need you also this cable:

  • Problem with the start of VMware ESXi 5.0

    I just installed VMware ESXi 5.0 on a new Cisco UCS B200 series blade with two 300 GB hard drives configured in a RAID 1 mirror.  I went through and completed the installation of VMware ESXi 5.0 on this server.  When the installation is complete and the server restarted, he did not initiate the ESXi where I can change the IP address and VLAN.  Instead, I get this text string after the initial boot sequence that is shown in the attachment.  I have a guest who said Shell > do not know why I can not start correctly in ESXi 5.0.  Thank you!  Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    Looks like you boot to the EFI shell. What is the startup policy that you have configured on this server service profile? It should look like the one below.  If there is a problem with the boot order, you should be able to type "EXIT", then enter on the EFI shell to exit the prompt. If your startup is similar to the one below and you still experience this issue, try to downgrade and re - ack the blade.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Problems with the installation of recovery - Satellite A300D - BSOD

    Hello

    The laptop in question (TOSHIBA Satellite A300D) recently stopped starting (BSoD).

    So, I tried using the recovery disk, but there is no help. What happens is:
    -After about 10 minutes of waiting, the first language menu load, so I click on "next".
    - Then I again click Next and accept the message that my HARD drive will be erased
    - Then I see a cmd prompt that says "try to remove all the letters of partitions possible...". »
    -There is also a minimized command prompt that says something like "RAID failed to initialize."
    -And then nothing happens.

    Is this a hardware problem? I also tried a full installation (instead of recovery), which, even once, is simply not. None of the errors is - it just freezes.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you were not able to install the OS by using two different facilities CDs/DVDs, so there must be a problem with the HARD drive.

    The warranty is still valid?
    I mean you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation. They can swap the HDD and again test the recovery procedure.
    Can you get somewhere 2,5 SATA HDD for testing?

  • Problems with Adaptec RAID followed after update02 arcconf

    Hello NG,.

    We have problems with a 5.1 ESXi host.

    It worked fine with 5.1_update01.

    After that we did a upgrade to Adaptec arrconf tool 5.1_update02 gives us an error message saying:

    Inspectors found: 0

    Invalid controller number.

    We suspect that the driver Adaptec SCSI (vmware-esxi-drivers-scsi-aacraid-510.5.2.1.29900.-1.1.5.799733.x86_64.vib) has been replaced by the hotfix.

    Any who have had a similar problem?

    What can we do? How to find the old driver?

    Kind regards...

    Hello

    to install VIB/driver to take effect, you must restart you host. If something goes wrong don't worry, you can use alt-bootbank to restore any changes made by the installer.

    To use successfully restore to the previous picture SHIFT + R during the process of start-up of ESXi.

  • Anyone having problems with the new iPhone LTE connection 7 on Verizon?

    I am now on my iPhone second 7 with Verizon. I had four phones for me and my family. I have now had issues where I have no signal in the same areas where my signal allows to be strong. I can't solve the problem with the activation/deactivation of the airplane and then mode again in normal mode. My phone will rest with no signal for 5 minutes, then going to LTE with three bars. I also had the problem where I had only 1 x signal, while my son standing right next to me has LTE. And he had the same questions, where I'm on LTE and it gets no signal. I use to have LTE where I live and work all the time, now it's spotty at best. Apple has replaced me and my sons iPhones but not luck. Still do. Any ideas or an any other suffering?

    (1) go to settings/cell phone/cellular data Options/enable LTE and select ONLY the DATA. This seems to solve the problem (as a temporary solution) for most of the people affected by this problem. The bad part is your request might not be as clear (since they cannot use the highest LTE signals) and you can make calls and data at the same time. But it does not solve the issue.

    (2) there are rumors (but you didn't hear that from me that we only are not supposed to discuss beta software program Apple in this forum) that the new version of Apple Beta for iOS (which also includes an update of the software carrier Verizon to 26.0) seems to solve this problem. So, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

    Hey, thochstrasser. Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    It seems that Siri is reluctant to make his debut on your iMac after upgrade to Mac OS Sierra. I want to make sure that you get the benefit of this new feature on a Mac.

    1 try safe mode if your Mac does not start -even if your iMac to market, safe mode makes sure it starts successfully.

    2. How to test a question in an another user account on your Mac - since this is most likely a software problem, test to another user will indicate if it is right to your user account or throughout your system.

    3. use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - if it seems to be systemic, the next step should not cause problems. But it is always better "to have" a backup to the "need".

    4. on OS X Recovery - the issue as part of the operating system, reinstall should do.

    Have a great weekend!

    Thank you

    Hello luigi10m,

    Thanks for posting on the Community Support from Apple. From your post, it looks like your haptic feedback does not work when you click using your trackpad and the setting is enabled. I know that this is a great feature and it is important to make it work. I'll be happy to help you.

    First of all, I would like to assure you that in system preferences > Trackpad > clicking silencer is not checked, that might help. In addition, it would be useful to reset the settings of the SCM. You can find instructions here: reset the management system (SCM) controller on your Mac - Apple Support

    I'll also include those for you here:

    1. Stop the Mac.
    2. Plug the MagSafe or USB - C adapter to a power source and to your Mac.
    3. Use the built-in keyboard, press shift-control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time.
    4. All the keys to unlock, then press the power button to turn on your Mac
