• PS6210X with 24 1.2 TB in RAID 50 SAS drives, how RAID 5 sets?

  We have a PS610X with 24 discs of 1.2 TB SAS (10,000 rpm, model HUC101212CSS600).

  The unit is currently configured in RAID 50 and has two parts. How RAID 5 sets are configured in fact? Is - this 2 x 11 or 2 x 6 + 2 x 5 or something else?

  Is it still considered safe to perform this configuration in RAID 50, or are we better off the coast of conversion to RAID 6?

  Hello

  The 6210 X creates two RAIDsets.

  The suggestion of using RAID6 is 7200 TPM NL - SAS become increasingly large, rebuild times are multiplying so.  That widens the window of vulnerability for a double error condition is another drive that RAIDset must fail.   However, with disks SAS 10 K / 15 K being so much smaller that window is still a bit small.

  That a lot depends on your needs.  I prefer R6 on R50 with a 6210 especially since there support the unloading for the calculation of parity.  To reduce the overhead costs of double parity.

  Good thing is that you can convert into R6 at any time of the R50.

  If you have installed SANHQ you can review your load, then use the RAID evaluator to see if R6 will always be you provide write IOPS / s you need.

  Kind regards

• Added four SAS drives to NX3100 - RAID Question

  We have a total of 14 disks.

  • Two 300 GB SAS internal for starting/host operating system
  • Eight 1 TB SATA for the storage of data and snapshot
  • The four 600GO SAS drives

  I have trouble to add a new virtual disk using its new four disks using OpenManage.  It seems to confine myself to the use of three of them.  Am I missing something?

  Nevermind, I guess I should have tried "Advanced" before posting.  =]

• How to add additional sas drive to an existing IBM midsize V3700 and do like being active in all hosts with vcenter server devices

  Hello team,

  In our infra we have 8 node of the flex IBM x 240 and 1 IBM midsize V3700 host as storage device. In this 19 storage hard drives busy with 600 GB 10 k 6 GB SAS drive and 5 locations are still, that storage is divided into 2 for test and Production. Now we expect for resizing the activity so that we plan to add more 5 hdd storage, can someone guide me how do it properly without any problem.  If I add the HARD drive storage how to initialize and map to the existng storage. If someone has done this before please guide me to continue.

  What you have to do is create a new disk (mdisk) group and add to your existing (mdiskgrp), to make task record the following:

  1. click on internal disks and then bind o pools:

  

  2. click on configure storage:

  

  3. on the storage configuration wizard, you can select use recommended Configuration or select a Configuration different, but the most important is to select your existing disk group RAID level:

  

  4. then select the Expand existing Pool:

  

  Once the capacity of the new disk has been added to your existing pool, you can create new volumes to expand your existing volumes (LUNS UAT or logic of PRODUCTION unit number).

  Let me know if you need additional assistance.

• Installation of SAS drives in Precision 690

  Hello

  I have a bunch of 10 k Fibre Channel SAS drives and I'm trying to install in a Precision 690. They seem to have connectors with 40 pins at the rear, a model example is the Seagate ST3146707FC.

  Is it possible to do? If If you could point me in the right direction in terms of what parts I might need. According to the manual, it can support 4 SAS and SATA drives, so I would use a SATA and SAS together potentially 4 drives.

  Thank you.

  Hi Hierchon,

  It is not possible to directly connect the Fibre Channel interface 690 PWS.

  These CF disks a SCA2 aka SCA40 connector and SAS uses a 32 as SATA connector.

  In order to use the FC disks, you need some type of housing CF or SAN which would then connect to the PC via a FC HBA.

  The SAS cable is necessary to attach a SAS drive to the PWS690 is identical to the SATA to the motherboard, but in training, data and power connectors are gathered.

  The PWS690 has two controllers. The ports labeled SATA go to the regular Intel SATA controller and take only the SATA drives. The ports labeled HD_0, etc, go to the SAS5 integrated RAID controller which will have SAS or SATA.

  I hope this helps others with these issues since this question is 9 months old. :-(

• Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

  Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

  You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).

• No light on SAS drive

  We have a 3.0.2 host in a remote office, where one user said that there is no light on one of the disks.  It is one of the two 72GO SAS drives which are in the opposite direction, which ESX is installed.  The server is a DL585 G2.  On the homepage of Mgmt. systems of the server, it shows that all 8 disks in the box being fine - all the "indicator of problem" and "flag down" statistics are nil.

  ESX wouldn't be given evolving and therefore written to each drive?  Is it possible that the light itself to burn? (don't think I have ever seen)

  Personally, if it was me and I got maintaince contract for this server, I would have the disc replaced without worrying if it's just a light out or not. As others have said sometimes the plastic band that brings light to the front is slightly misaligned, or the led could have come loose, but at the end of the disc, but technically, the drive does not 100% if the stupid little light is not on.

  Just my 2 cents

• installed in R630 H730P how to connect the SAS drives?

  Hi, I installed the H730p in the server R630 RAID, but the SAS cables from the drive before A & B bays to connect to the main Board and having no game in them to connect to the RAID card.

  I guess I need new cable SAS, but can't find any reference to this anywhere... Do I new cables and what are the numbers of reference please?

  Thank you very much

  Pete

  Talleysit,

  Indeed, you need another cable. The required cable is part # F63HD.

  Let me know if it helps.

• The upgrade of the SATA 1 TB to 2 TB SAS drive sink r.620 Server

  Hello

  I have a r.620 with a H710 Mini Raid Perc.  I currently have 3 1 than TB SATA drives in a RAID 5 configuration and need more disk space.  Unfortunately, I have the bottom of basket, which only supports up to 4 drives.

  I tried to replace the disks with 3 2 disks SATA of TB, but blocked watch RAID controller.  I put the 2 the original 1 the 2 TB drives to see what shows OMSA and 3 disks in.

  OMSA shows not supported and the size of the disk is showing 232 GB instead of 2 TB of suggestions?

  Thanks for any help!

  I don't know if you already said that, or if you thought about it. The reason why these commands do not work in your system is because they are readers of formatted 4Kn.

  P710 series controllers don't support of 4 Kn.

  There is a work around, but get this info from Dell is going to be almost impossible. (They want buy you your discs at home).

• Replacing the T410 Raid 5 SAS HD showing "predictive failure notification.

  I have a server poweredge T410 which has 2 virtual drives, a Raid 1 mirrored VD and a Raid 5 VD (consists of 4 hard disks from 146 GB SAS).  There is no replaceable parts hot.  The physical disk 1:0:5 began to show "next failure (2094 reporting error) in OMSA so I know I need to replace this drive."  Readers that seem to be replaceable hot, but I want to make sure I follow the proper procedure by replacing the drive, that I've never done this before.  Can someone please confirm that the following steps are correct?

  In OMSA, I'm going to ' storage '-' virtual disks' -' physical disks ", and on disk 5 (the one with the predicted failure) select"offline"under 'Tasks', and then run hit.  Then, I open the collar and wait for hard drives lights to stop flashing.  Remove the disc 1:0:5 and put in the replacement drive.  Then, in OMSA go to "Storage"-"Virtual disks" and select "Assign/Unassign dedicated Hot Spare" in the menu tasks to the bottom and click on 'run '.  What I read, the reader should automatically start rebuilding at that time and that should be all that it is him, correct?  If I missed anything or whatever it is listed wrong, someone please let me know.  I read in other posts of people getting BSODS and crash there servers because they have missed something and I really want to avoid that.

  Also, this swap can and must occur while the server is online, correct?

  What controller RAID do you have?  A BSOD is NOT normal and indicates another problem.

  If the drive does not start rebuilding automatically, you need to affect whether a relief to start reconstruction.  If the disk is initially as 'strangers', it first must be CLEARED before that you can assign as a hot spare.

• Cannot remove HARD disk configuration PERC 6i with use of the SAS drives foreign. Existing data are not important. Scratch reloading to redeploy the server.

  Dell Poweredge 2950 III with serial number note from the Admin: have the label removed according to the TOU > receipt readers traded since an identical poweredge almost eliminated. In the configuration of the PERC controller 0 6i utility, disk groups show as foreigners. Messages following the procedure to import the configuration, then remove before was not effective. The prior configuration appears in the menu.

  I would like to simply clean configurations of VD for the readers and the controller. After it is deleted then next step is to set up a configuration I want. My new Setup is not relevant for this post. The goal and the only question is how to clear existing shared disk configurations.

  VD0 clear addition to figure 2 SAS PD/hard drives as virtual disk unique. RAID levels 0, status is offline, SMART status not = no error, County VD = 1, PD = 2 count, operation = none

  Is a similar to VD0 VD1

  other berries are currently empty.

  For initial troubleshooting I have removed all the HARD drive except a single disk on the server. This disc shows also as stranger.

  In the PERC 6i config utility:

  VD MGMT doesn't show CONTROLLER0 - no configuration is present. Choice of the F2 are Config. Foreign config based on availability. (Create new VD and manage preserved Cache are greyed out) Right pane of the screen indicates "foreign Config present, controller prop.: DG = 0, County VD count = 0, County of PD = 1".

  PD MGMT shows only the formatted Mo 139 K SAS single, foreign = State, SMART status not is no mistake, operation = none

  VIEW FOREIGNERS shows DG0 = foreign, Virtual disk 255 with DG count = 1. County of VD = 1, County of PD = 1

  I installed 3 of the disks individually rotating as a single HARD drive with similar results.

  WITH 2 HDD SAS installed only difference is VD Mgmt shows County DG = 0, County VD = 0, County of PD = 2.   View foreign shows VD255 prop: Raid 0, Raid = foreign status, size = na, operation = none. | Disk prop group. : VD Count = 1, County of PD = 2, Ded HS = 0 (because it does not exist).

  Thanks Chris. Problem is solved. I would like to Flash the firmware as precautionary measure? Still confused why initial in the VD Mgmt tab procedure has failed.

• Installation of Linux on Qosmio G20 - RAID refusing hard drive detection

  Hello
  Did anyone had success in installing linux on the qosmio g20? I have two drives of 80 GB each. RedHat Setup is unable to detect the readers for me. I realize account I need a driver disk to get, maybe this works - drivers who do I really need - there are tons of SATA drives - or maybe about it, I'm going the wrong way - any help will be apprecitaed.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I didn t try to install Linux on Qosmio G20 but friend of mine told me he has success using Suese 9.3 because there is also the RAID (Redundant Array of inexpensive (or independent) Disks). On this way, you can use two drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance / fault tolerance is the ability of a system to respond gracefully to a hardware or software failure unexpected.

  Sorry but I have no more information.

  Good bye

• Qosmio G30: How to add the driver RAID without floppy drive?

  I'll put win xp tomorrow, as far as I can remember I will be asked to insert a floppy with additional RAID/SCSI drivers - I guess I need some drivers for XP see my RAID stripe.

  I was able to download 'raid-drv-qog20-xp - 1380.zip', but I'm afraid to look if my laptop has a floppy drive... How can I add the driver did not have a floppy drive?

  Hello

  Maybe a stupid comment, but if you can buy Qosmio G30 I presume that you can also get a used floppy disk. I did this a few times with Vista and Qosmio G30 and it works well.

  Check eBay. You will get the drive used for a few euros. Otherway tries to create CDs and if the RAID drive must travel to ODD, I didn't try because I have a FDD, but you can test it on your Qosmio.
