RAID controller perc 5 / i Raid 5 rebuid of security

Hello.

need help.

I have the raid 5 6-disc version. 136GB x 2 drives and 4 x 2 TB. (why? don't ask some black.)

RAID controller perc 5 / i

so a question is: can I discs remove 2 136 GB safety (without data loss) and rebuild the raid to work only with 4 drives of 2 TB and volume take all the space?

You cannot delete records from the table - the number of disks must remain the same (or you can add to it). You need backup/restore to make a smaller VD.

  • 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?

    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.

  • H730P of PERC in the reference numbers for cable R730XD RAID

    We have R730xd several devices and have a query regarding the part number of the cable from the backplane before hard drive RAID Controller PERC H730P. In one of our servers, the cable has a number of FVPCF while in another server, it has a number of 8717G. The only difference I see is that the cable is a different color. We tried searching online but nothing appears untowards. The two cables are working without any problems or y at - it a specific part for a particular server number? Both servers have installed H730P PERC controllers.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello.

    The type of cable used is normally dependent on the configuration of the background and the controller. I see that two P/Ns FVPCF & 8717 G are identical and connect between the back 3.5 "- plan to the PERC H730P controller on the server 730XD." Each cable should work under the same configuration with no problems.

  • RAID Controller degraded by the Firmware version

    Hi all

    My security system is sending me alert because my RAID controllers being day. RAID controllers are fine, but the State is deteriorating because of the "latest Firmware Version available" which means I can't properly control if something really bad happens.

    Is it possible to disable the alert or lower the minimum version expected? I just can't reboot all my servers just for an update of the RAID firmware.

    My security system expects a status: Ok

    Is it possible to update the firmware without system reboot? I am running CentOS 5 and 6

    No, you can update the firmware without a reboot, but the update will be based in the controller cache until a reset is performed. So yes, you can perform the update without reboot, but it will not take effect until you perform a reboot.

    Thank you

  • PERC 5i - RAID 5 with 3 drives shows 2 missing discs?

    I have a PE2900 with a PERC 5i, the first volume is a RAID 5 with three disks.  This morning the Controller PERC says two of the drives (MAXTOR SAS 68 GB 10 K rpm) are missing.

    Is it normal to lose two discs at the same time accurate?  Or would it be the controller going wrong?

    Is there anyway to test these discs without breaking the virtual disk?  Or am I out of luck of losing two of the three disks in a RAID 5?

    Then on the VD MGMT screen, highlight the controller at the top left, F2, foreign Import.

    He must move one of the stranger online and leave the other failed... things leave until you can confirm the operating system starts and is ok, then you can rebuild the remaining disk.

  • Reference Dell T610 PERC 6i - very slow RAID rebuild

    Hi all, I have a DELL T610 with a Controller PERC 6i with 4 x 1 TB SAS 7.2 K disks configured as a RAID6. 1 of the drives has failed, I installed the new drive, but reconstruction is only 44% after 36hrs! Why is it so slow? Any ideas would be greatly accepted.

    RAID 6 is well known for its performance of poor\slow. This is the only function is to be safer than RAID 5, not to be fast and cheap.  With parity RAID, to rebuild the whole picture.  They have been known to go for a week or more before they are finished, according to the size and speed of players.

    Kind regards

  • PowerEdge T710 PERC H700 RAID level migration issue

    In my new role, I inherited a number of servers managed until now by someone else.  One of them is a PowerEdge T710 with a Controller PERC H700.  There are two matrices; the other has four 3TO disks in a RAID-5 configuration.

    I don't need the storage space any where near as much as the reliability factor.  Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?  There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have.

    "Is it possible to do a migration on-site from RAID 5 to RAID-6 without disturbing data?"

    Yes, BUT you can use this method by ADDING another disk.  RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives.  Insert a disk "to hot', then in the software OpenManage (OMSA), go into storage, PERC, virtual disks and reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 5.

    "There is enough free space, and I have no problem losing a portion of the free space I have."

    Apart from the fact that RAID 6 requires a minimum of 4 drives, even if you want to spend a 4 drive RAID 5 has a 4-drive RAID 6, it could NOT be done.  You can't make a smaller table.  The controller doesn't know - or care - on real data of BONE on the disks (so the amount of 'free space' is not serious) and is not worried about virtual disk space (which would be filled if the total capacity of the discs has been used).
