read S.M.A.R.T. in PERC H710 Mini disc?

Hello

I have a few servers Dell R520 (all running Win 2012 64 bit) with the H710 Mini Raid PERC controllers inside.

Is it possible to access/view S.M.A.R.T. attributes of their hard drives? Dell OpenManage Server Administrator can only tell info like "physical disk is OK" or "physical disk is Non-critical," which is not much. I want to see more details. I use on older machines Dell Crystal Info disc, but the R520, is not to see all readers (and other similar utilities, I tried were also blind).

(OMSA is version 7.4.0 and hard drives have SMART)

Any tips?

Thank you

Hello.

We will be happy to advise.  The S.M.A.R.T error can be found on the BIOS OF THE controller on POST via CTRL-R. It is under the column PD Mgmt for physical disks.  Highlight each drive and see the right side of the screen for information about the number of errors. However, that's all he says.

It is recommended to use the OMSA software to export the detailed log. The log file will be in the form of a text file and can be exported from the configuration options of the controller-level information. You can check the newspaper for "BADLBA" (bad logical addresses) or other sense key errors.

Otherwise, the software will be asked the failed drive arriving at a certain limit of non correctable errors in which the player will then be marked as PREDICTIVE don't allow you replace before switching to offline mode, causing a degraded VD.

Finally, it is built in the diagnosis of the USC F10.  Although it will not display the errors detailed by car, you can run the hard drive test accordingly for the General failure analysis.

  • Dell PowerEdgh R420 and PERC H710 mini RAID setup

    Hello

    I'm a little new to the RAID configuration.

    I have 4 hard drives SATA, 2 1 TB HARD drive and 2 2 TB HARD drive. I just want my 1 TB on a RAID 1.

    When I did, I couldn't find the 2 x 2 TB of HARD drive.

    Is it possible to access the other 2 HARD disk when they are connected to a controller?

    I think I understand what you're getting now.  You are unwilling to LOOT the other two drives of 2 TB. So, what you see is correct. The operating system will not show other readers because they must be configured in RAID if they are logged as such.  You will need to create them individually as long as two separate RAID 0 VD.

    Then you will see the BIOS RAID PERC of the VD 3 total.

    VD0 - OS RAID1 (disks 0 & 1)
    VD1-RAID 0 (disk 2)
    Vd2-RAID 0 (disk 3)

    In Windows disk management, you also them as 3 separate logical drives that you can work with.

  • Divide a virtual disk in two virtual disks PERC H710

    Hello guys,.

    -We have a server PowerEdge R720 with a PERC H710 Mini storage controller which has 8 drives 1 TB each of them.

    -We have created a virtual disc, which includes 8 physical disks configured in Raid 5.

    -We have installed Windows 2008 Server R2 and we got 4469 GB no allocated space that we cannot use due to the limitation of the disks of the Basic.

    What we really want to do is reclaim the unallocated space of the existing virtual drive and put it in a new one, so that we keep 3 disks for the virtual disk 0 and we use the 5 others for the new virtual disk 1.

    -Is that possible without destroying the data we have?

    -Help please!

    Thanks in advance and sorry for the bad English :(

    Unfortunately, there is no way to do it without restarting.

    Option 1

    What you have described, you could divide drives upward into distinct from VD, leaving a 2 TB or smaller for the operating system.  It will cost you a value of an extra disk to disk space (VD0 RAID 5 = 2 TB, VD1 RAID 5 = 4 TB).

    Option 2

    You can create "slices" on the disks - you still all 8 disks in a disk group, but you would cut a smaller VD for the OS, and then the rest of the disc space can be a VD for data (each VD will appear as a "separate" disk in Windows, so the second VFD can be converted to GPT and be as big as you want While the first VFD remains an MBR disk to boot into the operating system in BIOS mode.  This will give you return a value from an extra disk to disk space over Option 1 (VD0 RAID 5 = 100 GB, RAID 5 = 6.9 to VD1).

    Option 3

    You can switch mode UEFI, create a VD with all 8 disks (as you did), convert the GPT disk, then install.  UEFI is necessary at the start of the GPT disks and GPT is required for disks larger than 2 TB.  It would also keep 7 TB of usable disk space.

    You can also consider a RAID 6, if you can accept the value of another drive 1 TB of disk space.  Since a reconstruction of the drive may take 1 to 2 days or more, a RAID 6 would provide better tolerance to failures and protection during the vulnerable period that the disc is out of line or reconstruction.

    Thank you

    It is normal so he can make a full discharge of the battery as part of his learning cycle every 90 days. Make sure that this isn't that. If this isn't the case, the reason, give it 24 hours. If it is fully charged, update the system (including RAID firmware, driver first) firmware. If not fully charged yet or it reproduces quickly, then replace the battery - power down to replace.

    I chatted with Dell this morning and they told me that I needed the manufacturer Dell cy7n1. I ordered this. However, after ordering, I searched online and the images seem to show a cable with only one connector at each end.

  • Where the PERC H330 Mini 25.4.0.0011 firmware?

    I installed OMSA 8.3 week last on a brand new R430 with all the latest available firmware upgrades applied.

    Despite this, the server notifies:

    "The current version of the firmware 25.3.0.0016 is earlier than the version required 25.4.0.0011 for Controller 0 (PERC H330 Mini).

    I tried the Dell downloads for the 25.4.0.0011 & driver version without a bit of luck.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Hello

    There was a problem with this version of firmware. We have learned from the download site. 25.3.0.0016 is the version that is currently available.

    25.4.0.0011 probably won't. A new version that fixes the problems of fate in his place. If you do not want to wait the new FW version or a new version of the OMSA to get rid of the update notification, you can change the file version. In your installation of OMSA directory there is a file called lsiver.cfg. The current version information is stored in this file. The default installation directory should be something like:

    c:/program files/dell/sysmgt/sm/cfg

    The file must be located in this directory. If you open the file with Notepad and search for H330, you should be able to locate the H330 current firmware version information. There are several H330 controllers. If you don't know what controller you are using, you can change all the 25.3.0.0016 or you can just change the controller you are using. I think that there are three different H330s appear in this file.

  • PERC H710 options

    Just got a PowerEdge T320 with controller Perc H710. There are a few configuration options undocumented in the help manual, or online. Cannot find anything on the web as well. It is "set the speed of the link to G3" and "Disk Cache". What are doing? And how to configure them, taking into account that the server will run Windows server 2008 R2?

    Simon

    Probably best to leave 'Disk Cache' disabled... the controller uses a battery backup cache, so if the system loses power, the unwritten data is kept in the cache.  Disk cache HARD disc has NO protection, so if the power is lost on the server, data not written to the disk cache will be lost, causing corruption.  This should be used if you have taken extraordinary measures to ensure that the system never loses power (or the integrity of the data is not critical).

    I can't that guess the 'Set Link Speed to G3' might actually be 3G, which means she restricted protocols of flow to 3 Gbps (SATA II/SAS I) instead of the 6 GB/s (SATA III/SAS II) that he is capable of.  If you use the appropriate drives (SAS or enterprise SATA II/III), there should not be any reason to enable this, because it's probably a compatibility setting for SATA I / II of readers whose speed cannot be used correctly with the controller, but if you use decent readers, that shouldn't be a problem.

    Hello David

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have.

    By the way: try to disable the DLA to packet writing software. Maybe it helps.
    Modification of a DLA installation procedure is as follows:
    1. open Windows Explorer
    2. right click on the CD/DVD drive icon and choose Properties
    3 click the DLA tab
    4. to disable DLA option erase DLA activate on your box of readers

    Please let me know if it works.

  • Can not read the word file copied as a shortcut on a disc

    Format microsoft word copied as a shocut on a disk is not able to be read. An error message appears that the network connection or the driver that the shortcut refers to is unavailable.

    Please excuse my rudeness and gaiety that, but everything that you copied is the shortcut, not the file. If you attach the drive to your PC, it will find the file because the shortcut will direct you to the source file, but if you try to play the file on another PC the source isn't there.

    If you do not know where the file is stored pass on the original PC, right click the shortcut and go to properties and it displays the path of the target, because it is a Word file, the entire file is probably in the Documents. In the same box, you should be able to target location or find to open the file. When you locate the file copy on the external drive.

  • Updated full M610/620 PERC H310 Mini RAID 1 disk

    I have 8 servers in my M1000e chassis.  They have all two drives 146 GB in Raid-1.  Just got in a boat load of 600GO drives gently used off PE R630 servers who are re-designed in a laboratory.

    I would like to replace all the records with the largest, with minimal downtime and no data loss.

    Advice? Tips? Advice?  Everything would be extremely appreciated before I mess up and make + 400 users very angry with me...

    Hello.

    It is possible to perform this operation with minimal downtime. Ensure that you have a backup validates your data just to be safe. You can do this by deleting every old hard drive and replacing with 600 GB disk, one at a time. Let the new drive to rebuild completely before replacing the other. You can monitor the progress of the reconstruction in OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) if installed. Clear the foreign configuration if it appears on the disc, if the drive rebuilt and state LOAN ; assign as a Global hot spare.

    You will notice that the total capacity of the virtual disk (VD) will not 600GO, because there will be unused space on the disks. You will use the property capacity expansion (OCE) online from your controller to claim unused space. In OMSA, GB storage-> PERC H310-> virtual disk-> available-> Reconfigure tasks-> capacity and continue. Under RAID level, select RAID 1 and enter 100 to recover any space unused on the disks and continue. See schematic illustration below:
