RAID on PowerEdge T410, restarting

When I performed a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 on our PowerEdge T410, with two 1 TB drives attached as players 0 and 1 on the PERC controller, I didn't know that I needed to configure a RAID volume on the controller on the front side, before loading the operating system.  So I need to start over.  Not much, except that, since we do not have a tape drive, it was a chore to backup all data before the first installation files.  Question: Before the installation of a second, what if I were to add a third hard drive (I have a 250 GB), assign the drive letter 'F', create an NTFS partition and copy all my files of data on it? Then, on the second go-around, I configure the PERC and put up my desired RAID 1 array using the two 1 TB drives. Of course, the discs will be completely erased.  Subsequently, once finished the installation of the OS, the OS will recognize my third hard drive (250 GB), such that I can simply copy the files from it on my mirror RAID?

The answer is 'yes '. The long answer includes things like "make sure that you do not select the wrong drive to install to ' and ' after having installed and copied the data above and remove the 'extra' / 'standalone' disc, Windows peut not boot, so you will need to do a startup repair.

  • Configuration of memory PowerEdge T410

    Hi all

    Let me start by saying our current configuration of memory (Dell PowerEdge T410):

    We have only one processor installed, so we have 4 DIMM for use A1 - A4. Only 3 are currently installed like:

    A3: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

    A2: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

    A1: 4GB 2Rx8 1333

    A4: white

    in its current wording, our server (running sbs2011) is extremely slow, and we traced it to the use of the RAM. That being said, I went to the store in line of Dell and bought 2 8 GB 4Rx8 1066 RAM sticks to use on the server. I thought I'd take a module of 4 GB, so I then total 24GB (2 GB + 2 8 GB 4).

    Read the manual material, I see that mix 2rx8 and 4rx8 is supported as long as the 4rx8 is in the white slot (first location of the channel). I also see that mixture of capacities of ram is supported as long as each channel has a similar configuration. I assumed that this means that each channel had the same capacity. So I thought 8 GB in every channel:

    A3: 8 GB (channel 2)

    A2: 8 GB (channel 1)

    A1: 4 GB (channel 0)

    A4: 4GB (channel 0)

    I placed the DIMMs in this thought of configuration I have all together until I started the server and I get an error of the incompatibility of DIMM and the BIOS indicates memory configuration not supported. However, starting the server in windows and it says 24GO and is normally. What Miss me? Should I be worried? How can I fix?

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

    Hello

    It is not optimal because you mix DIMMS in a bank. The system supports memory triple channel. It does this by spreading a Bank of memory on 3 channels. Here is how the banks are set up:

    DIMM 0 - 1,2,3
    DIMM 1-4

    For an optimal configuration of the DIMMS in slots 1,2,3 must be identical. In older systems that do not support memory flexible configuration the DIMMS in slots 2.3 would be disabled. Since this system supports flexible memory configurations, it will allow the DIMM to stay, but gives no optimal error.

    If you mix memory in this system, you can have 1 Unlike DIMM installed for an optimal configuration. The optimal configuration that uses the maximum memory to the DIMM you have available would be:

    8 GB - 1.2
    4 GB - 4

    The best non-optimal configuration would be:

    8 GB - 1.2
    4 GB - 3.4

    This configuration will always give you errors, but it is better than the current configuration.

    APITech
    I also see that mixture of capacities of ram is supported as long as each channel has a similar configuration.

    This does not mean that you must have identical DIMM modules in the channels. It means that channels must be filled even. Here is an example:

    DIMM 0 slots 1,2,3 =
    DIMM 1 slots 4,5,6 =

    Chanel, 0 = 1.4
    Channel 1 = 2.5
    Channel 2 = 3.6

    You have DIMMs of different rank, speed and capacity mixed through the channels, but you can't have different configurations. For example, in this configuration if you filled DIMM slots 1,2 and then the configuration is valid for DIMM 1 would be filling in only one MEMORY card into the Groove 4 (if the system did not require DIMM be installed in pairs) or 2 DIMMS in slots 4.5. You can't fill a DIMM in the slot 6 since the first slot (3) in the channel (2) is not met.

    The population of channel rule means essentially that you can not complete the second slot in a channel if the first place is not filled. In your housing system 1 and 4 are channel 0. All channels have only a single slot assigned to each memory controller. As long as you have one DIMM in slot 1, you can fill the slot 4.

    Memory population rules can be very confusing. If you have any other questions let me know.

    Thank you

  • PowerEdge T410 & Xeon X 5680 compatibility

    Anyone know if the PowerEdge T410 with 1.12.0 BIOS is compatible with of Xeon X 5680? The release notes indicate the system is compatible with the 5600 series processors, but I am unable to get the server to actually start with them installed.

    What I tried:

    Reset the BIOS - exclusion-

    Reflashed BIOS to 1.12.0 - no - Go-

    Removal of all other processors and RAM leaving only bank 1 - No - Go-

    Installed one (do not have another) "verified" CPU X 5650 130 w 6-Core-ALL-GOOD.

    I now feel that BIOS 1.12.0 is NOT compatible with processors X 5680.

    Can someone help and check this for me? My Google-Fu returns no results...

    Thanks in advance for your time...

    > Aaron

    The fact that the .pdf you linked to is buried several layers on the Dell site solidifies only my argument that it shouldn't take this much effort to find valid information such as those.

    In addition, the 1.12.0 BIOS update simply indicates further support for processors 5600 'COLLECTION '. The specsheet.pdf for the server indicates 5600 'SERIES' both of which are easier to find than the .pdf that you linked to (i.e. Google Poweredge t410)

    The technicalguide.pdf you linked to only reinforces my feeling that Dell must be clearer about their documentation. Example 6.1 Overview (table 8) the Poweredge t410 Server supports up to two processors. It then lists 95 Watt and 130 watts. Moreover, it gives reference to a set of processors supported but not going only up to the X 5650. It gives no reference what BIOS version was used during the test, but the stamp on the .pdf indicates July of 2011, but the latest version of BIOS is starting in 2013. I hope that these examples, you'll be able to see that just "assume" things like "good indicators" can trip-up the more experienced Sys Admins.

    And FWIW the 5675 X are the fastest processors more high watt TDP that can run in the T410. Thanks for me to understand that...

    No response is necessary, because I don't care anymore or I'll read.

  • Determine the number of the motherboard Dell PowerEdge T410

    I work with a server remotely try to determine the number of points for our mother. It's a PowerEdge T410, nothing is coming through system information or serial number. In my view, that there is a certain different models available. Is there anything that can help me refine it? We have tried to add a second processor and discovered that the second take was damaged by the manufacturer.

    Antares-USA,

    Normally, when you enter your number at support.Dell.com, you can click on the System Configuration and then see the original setup the server was in when he left. If that does not produce the information, then you must simply PRIVATE MESSAGE the serial number for me and I can let you know the motherboard installed.

    Make sure of me private message with the information for your security.

    Let me know.

  • 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.

  • Replace a HARD drive in RAID 1 PowerEdge 2950, question on the process

    Having never had to replace a HARD drive in a RAID 1 configuration on a PowerEdge 2950 Server (PERC 5 / i).

    Can I do put in custody or from a cold start?

    I replaced the HDD failure with the new HARD drive with the same part number.

    This is my boot volume, so I don't want to spoil...

    THX

    If the data is critical, and you don't have a backup, get one now.

    NEVER stop a server to introduce a disk. If the reader poster pred fail, force the drive offline first, then remove it. If it is already broken, then just pull it off.

  • PowerEdge T410 won't do anything when you press the power button / stop.

    My work has recently retired this t410 server. It worked without any problems when he was arrested. I had to remove and destroy the hard drives from the system. After that, I was allowed to bring home for my own use. I installed a new sata drive and plugged into the power supply and a free sata port on the motherboard. I get nothing when I tried to boot the system. This version has the unique power. Power light only lights up when you press the test button. System fan is going at full speed, but stops when you release the power button. Also on the control panel lights 1,2 and 4 and HDD power on and turn until the test button is released. There is a single green light lit on the motherboard, while it is plugged. Apart from that, I have no response when you press the main power button. Can anyone tell how to try to get it up and running again.

    -Who-

    I have not received the answers more so I think that this issue is ignored. So I'll let everyone know what finally happened. I solved my problem after a lot of electrical testing. I found a diagram of the arrangement of the power dell power supply pins and I made myself the best possible meter test. After several rounds of tests, I found several pins that did not have the right voltage. I bought a new power supply. I installed and replace everything. I plugged into the system and it auto fed on itself. I loaded from an OS and it works perfectly.

    Problem solved
