• DELL Poweredge 2900 - disk failure

  Hello

  We have an old Dell Poweredge 2900 our SQL Server database running server.  Last week, we discovered that Raid 5 is degraded and disk 0 disk 1 is seeing completely to the bottom and the poster.  We were already down, so even if we had it running by buying a replacement of the SAS 146 GB 10 k disk we would still be short of storage of data of space.  I bought a SAS Seagate Cheetah 15 k 600 GB ST3600057SS and I would like to replace the failed drive with it.

  Question:

  (1) open handle is not installed, but want to install.  What version I can use for this 2900 server.

  (2) my replacement of a 146 GB with a 600 GB can work?

  Please for your advisor as this database server is essential for my operation of the company.

  Thanks in advance

  (2) my replacement of a 146 GB with a 600 GB can work?

  Replacing 146 GB with 600 GB of disk drive will not provide any extra space you need because the table will use only 146 GB of total space 600 GB on the new drive. What controller you have installed? In case the only option available for you that your controller does not support the extension of ability online (ECO) could be to backup your data, delete the existing RAID array and re - create another table with the new readers of 600GO. Restore data from backup and re-install the operating system.

• 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.

• HARD disk for maximum support PowerEdge 2950

  Greetings,

  I have server PowerEdge 2950 with Six internal hard drive bays. How many maximum capacity of hard drive taken in charge in one Bay?

  Thanks for the reply and best regards.

  If you use a PERC 5/6, 2 TB is the maximum size of physical disks - this is a hardware limitation, and there is no way to use anything larger than 2 TB.

  If you use a SAS 5/6 in RAID mode, 2 TB is the maximum - it is a limitation of its limitation of RAID. I would never do that, but some said that grows to 2 TB will work on the SAS 5/6 in NON RAID (left unconfigured) mode.

• PowerEdge 2950 HARD drive failure

  Hello

  Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following scenario (where I have no experience dealing with the old servers)

  We have a set of old servers (DELL PowerEdge 2950) that migrate again (IBM X Flex), one of the old server is MOSS 2007 with 2 HDD, suddenly primary HDD is dead and in menu missing with setup. I removed old server on another HARD drive and mounted on the MOSS 2007 server and initialized. the question is how do I replace the HARD drive died with a new one and copy another disk configurations HARD live

  Please if you need more information just ask in answers because am new on this servers with 0% experience

  Thank you

  ---------------UPDATE-------------

  the current RAID is RAID 0 and I found that a backup windows (from previous system admin) file so it is possible to format the two HDD, configure RAID for RAID 1, install windows, and then restore the backup?

  also, I was reading this article " " but I couldn't change the RAID, so any suggestion?

  You need drivers ("hard drive" version, run to extract before use):

• PowerEdge 2950. Need advice to add 1 TB SATA disk.

  This is my first post.

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 with PERC 5 / i.  The firmware version is 5.2.2 - 0072.   Configuring PERC controller 0 shows.   0 to 2 physical disks in SAS controller.  2 physical disks are used to create a virtual drive.  The virtual drive is used as the C: drive.  Readers of the excellent work.

  

  I want to add a 1 TB SATA drive which will act as a stand alone D: drive.  I had planned to add the SATA controller drive 1, but when I run the PERC configuration utility, I don't see a setting 1.

  What should I do to add a 1 TB SATA drive?

  

  Looks very good.

• 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 2950 Boot

  Hi, I'm not a person of material at all, so please be patient with me.

  I recently acquired two PowerEdge 2950. Currently, I don't have any operating system installed, and I don't know if two hard disks that came with it are truly functional. I install two hard drives on the server and put under tension. Hard drives blinked once and the indicator remained offshore. I try to enter the raid controller to see if yes or no hard disks are working, or showing upwards, as suggested by my work.

  Supposedly should have an option (Ctrl + R) on start up to enter THE RAID controller BIOS, but its lack of my server for reason. I thought that the bio for server was old, therefore, that I have updated to the latest (2.0.7 I think). However, it now shows the option. Then, I thought that maybe the RAID controller is not recolonized by the server, so I unplugged the RAM RAID controller and started the server, but resulted in an error indicating that the RAM is missing.

  All of the above are the same in both servers I have.

  At the end of the day, I am just installing a server on these servers operating system and now the hard drives are not recognized by the server.

  Please help me with this problem.

  Thank you

  When I plug the RAID controller, the built-in RAID controller option does not appear in the SETUP (F2)

  It's normal, but it shows that the controller is at least very little functional. Most of the hardware failures cause a piece dead circuits, but rather of bad operation of the circuits.

• PowerEdge 2950 - order replacement HARD drive

  We recently replaced among 300 GB three SAS hard drives in a PowerEdge 2950, after seeing 1810 Code error 1 HARD disk fault.  We would like to order replacement disks to have on hand, but must be sure that we order is fully compatible.  The reader, we have removed is Seagate ST3300656SS with Firmware HS09 and certified as a disk HARD of Dell Enterprose class.  I understand that just order a Seagate drive of the same model number is not enough.  How can we be sure we are ordering the right items?

• Cannot add ESX/PowerEdge 2950 hard drive

  Hello..  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a Perc6 / i.  I am currently under VMWare ESX 3.5i using RAID 5.  I added another drive and try to add that, for VMWare.  Looking at the sensors, the UNCONFIGURED GOOD watch drive.  When I try to add through VIC using storage - & gt; Add storage, the disk is not there.  I looked everywhere to try to add this drive but its got the best of me.  What I am doing wrong?

  Ideally, I would like to add to the RAID 5 array, but from what I've read is not possible.  Suffice to just be able to add the period dang by car.

  Help!

  -st

  The boot server and press Ctrl + R and go to group configuration, look at the table manager and add the new virtual disk. Don't try to split the table 5 in place or you may lose your data.

• II of the PowerEdge 2950 not allowing for space HARD to be accessible

  Nice day

  I have an old server PowerEdge 2950 II (card: 2x3.0 Ghz Xeon, 24 MB Mem 1 TB SATA HDD, 1 Tb SATA HDD, 2 TB SATA HDD - Server data center in 2012).

  The question I have is that I recently updated the operating system from 2008 to 2012 DC, then installed an extra drive (2 TB).  I run RAID 0, and the system is only show a MAXIMUM of space disk HARD 1.98 TB, with the other Tb 0.02 table allocated to file systems.  RAID Perc 5i controller has all the three marked as online HARD drives.  BUT I can not use the additional 2 tablespoons in the table.  I was going to buy and install a 2nd HARD drive of 2 to SATA and RAID 1 go; but, if I can't fix this storage space not represented in the storage Bay I can't justify the purchase.  If anyone can help I would be grateful.

  So, you have three disks - 1 TB, 1 TB, 2 TB - during a RAID 0, and you expect to see 4 TB of space?  If so, see my notes above.  Each virtual disk (RAID array) is presented to the operating system as a separate 'disc'.  Windows cannot use a more 2 TB drive unless it has been converted to GPT.  First of all, the conversion to TPG is data destructive, so you will need to do a backup/restore.  Secondly, convert your boot 'disc' TPG will not cause it to start on a 2950 because it only supports UEFI, which is necessary to start from a GPT disk.

  Bottom line?  You need to rethink your configuration on this machine.  You could make two 1 TB disks in a 1 TB RAID 1 for the OS (in MBR and bootable on a 2950), and then you could add 2 TB RAID 1 for data disks.  2 TB, it would be unnecessary to convert to GPT, but if you have added more than 2 TB of space, you would then convert that TPG and use as many TB for the data that you can hold in the system.

  In addition, you realize how dangerous running a RAID 0 is, right?
