Reference Dell r710 12core 32 GB super slow with sql and need help exch2010

Hi all and thanks in advance.

I have a new r710 which has a great for a few months then it has slowly degraded until now, it's an analysis on all the vm, I can't tell which one is it slows down because all the performance counters show a lot of place in all categories. I've been doing the reconnection to the datastore2 and datastore1, then I get a restored connection. I moved the Exchange 2010 vm to the datastore3 that does not have errors, but it is still slow. I wonder if I should move all the vm off the other two data stores and delete, and rescan the esxi for storage and back as data 1 and 2 stores. I have esxi 4.0 not improved update2. and there an esxi license and there 6 installation of drives western digital black 1 TB in raid1 3 - then I have every configuration of raid as a logical drive which is then turned into a data store.

I don't know if the downturn is the hardware or a virtual machine is pulling them down - I'll start out them one by one to test tonight, but the advice or opinions are welcome.

I don't know what your storage looks like initially but I would recommend HAVE TO go with update 2 - we had all sorts of problems with particular storage when you use storage VSA as the left hand.  Update 2 provided some great improvements to the vmkernel regarding VMFS.

You can also publish newspapers vmkernel of any of the host in question and we can take a loo at it.

Seriously, update your esx/esxi servers is always a good practice when you have weird problems.

See you soon,.

  • Reference Dell R710, Dell and VMware VAAI MD3200

    Hi guys, we have 3 x Dell R710 hosts running VMware ESXi hypervisor v5.1. Our SAN is via Dell MD3200 Direct attached storage. We have activated the option of High Performance. My question is about VMware VAAI. In particular, the recommendation of VMware: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1033665 it says: "For more information on support VAAI in a particular storage group or required firmware levels, contact the storage array provider." So I'm wondering: is VAAI supported (or not) with the MD3200... and otherwise: should I be deactivation of VAAI settings as recommended by VMware? What are the potential implications for the performance of deactivation of VAAI... or support DO NOT turn it off? Thank you, Steve

    Indeed, you are using a fairly old firmware. The most recent is 07.84.53.60.

    To be able to upgrade to this version, you will need a version quite familiar of the MDSM. I would say to download 4.1.2.29 or later, which is 5.0.0.70. All servers Windows and Linux (not VMware or XenServer) server that manage and/or are connected via iSCSI SAN should have their MDSM, updated software before upgrade you the firmware on the raid on the SAN controller.

    I know who to buy Ent idrac6 material to replace.

    But I want to upgrate to business idrac7 instead off idrac6 Ent.

    Is able to upgrade to idrac7 Ent or just Ent r710 idrac6?

    Please advice!

    Thank you.

    anhhuyla @.

    Anhhuyla,

    The R710 will support not using the iDrac 7, as is logical is incorporated into the Gen 12 systems themselves. To improve the iDrac6 at the enterprise level, you must add the Works Council (part number K869T or J675T) seen below.

    This will allow the use of the console remotely.

    Let me know if it helps.

  • Reference Dell R710 - Configuration of memory

    Hi all

    I'm sure I'm missing something, but I read the two technical papers about memory configuration in the Dell R710.

    I have a server that currently has 48GB stated as follows

    A1 - 4 GB

    A4 - 4 GB

    A2 - 4 GB

    A5 - 4 GB

    A3 - 4 GB

    A6 - 4 GB

    (It then returned on the b-side)

    According to the BIOS it's set to "optimized."

    Now I have sticks of 2x16GB I wanted to install, the only way that I could operate without the whine of BIOS was to install as follows:

    A2 - 16 GB

    A5 - 4 GB

    A8 - 4 GB

    (Duplicated on b-side)

    Giving 72 GB.

    As I read the manual, I should be able to mix the sizes of memory for "optimized" as long I have spend from A1 to A9 and so I have an another 6x4Go sticks left, I want to install.

    My logic is that I can fill with A1 to A9, mixing the 16 GB, however when I try I get the error on the A1/A2/A3 needing to be the same?

    Am I missing something simple? I am unable to make changes in the BIOS, the memory is all of the same type (bought from Dell)

    Rob_991,

    The question that you are running in is due to the R710 need 3 memory channels to match.  Each game nine media is organized in three channels with three supports memory per channel. As shown below, each processor has 3 channels of memory, allowing only a single channel to the need to match, or filled.  So, with only having a couple of 16 GB DIMMs, you are only able to fill a channel on each side. What I would say is the addition of a couple more 16 GB DIMMS fill A1, A2, B1, B2 with them, and then place the 4 GB in A4, A5, A7, A8, as well as B4, B5, B7 and B8. This gives you two channels on each side, as well as 96 GB of memory.

    Let me know if this helps answer your question.

    Greetings, I've been deployment OMSA 7.4 VIB to my Dell ESX5.1 host using successfully manage the update. However, all of my Dell R710s servers) report a warning in the Console Essentials OpenManage under the information Section of Agent software for the following: - Server (storage management) administrator - VMware ESXi 5.1.0 build-1065491 no further information is provided in addition to the version of the agent, the description, and manufacturing. Also, under this article the iDRAC6 shows as a "?" but the version of the agent and the description as well the listing agent. This could be linked to the fact that, under the CARS, section reports on RAC connection state as OFF. Step additional needed to get these warnings are resolved? See you soon

    You must configure two separate groups, I have one of MGMT (iDRAC) and another for the hosts, both being discovered using WS - MAN, because as you say they have different passwords, our names are the same.

    I hope this might set you on the right track.

    Since then, we want to upgrade the hard drive 2 TB (3.5 inches) for a large as 3/4 to.
    Is there information on the matrix of disc official supported of PERC 6 / i?

    We use Seagate 2 TB 72kRPM (bought from Dell) on our R710 servers. If the PERC 6 / I can't stand 3 to/4 TB disk. Is it possible to order the H700 support 4 TB drive adapter?

    We have installed the latest firmware /bios,
    -Perc 6/i: 6.3.3 - 0002, A-00
    -System BIOS: 6.4.0

    Thank you and best regards,

    PERC 6 does not support disks larger than 2 TB. The H700 is supported in the R710 and supports disks larger than 2 TB. I would not, however, use desktop or NAS drives.

  • Reference Dell R710 single CPU

    Hello team, we have R710 with single processor with populated 9 dims with 8 GB of memory.

    We have now 6 x 16 GB memory to improve memory, what is the best procedure to mix memory to fill the 3 slots with 8 GB of memory?

    Is it still feasible?

    StorageJohn,

    To maximize the amount of memory used, I would put the 6 16 GB DIMMS in slots A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6. After that, then place a module dimm 8 GB in the location of the A7, A8 and A9. This is to maintain the requirements of the memory channels. See below.

  • Reference Dell R710 does not start after power failure

    Hello, I tried to find answers on the forum but nothing so far

    I have this R710 at home that I use as a media server, it was working fine before a power outage the other night (no I don't have a UPS :-(

    When the power returned, I noticed one of lighting power supply has been turned off, so I took it out of the unit, but the unit still won't turn.

    I still have a so-called good food because the small green LED on the motherboard lights, and I can access the iDRAC, this feature, I didn't before the net Searchin' for answers, I'm kind of a novice with the servers.

    When I access the iDRAC, on the power supply page, I see nothing, no power supply listed.

    Is it possible that a diet might be "half bad", enough to work the emergency circuits but not the power outlet?

    Symptoms:

    Camera lights.

    Can access the functions of the Idrac, but doesn't do anything if I try to activate it via the tasks "quick launch".

    Power supplies are not visible on the pages of the Idrac.

    Display before work.

    Server was very well just before a power failure which took one of the PSU

    The remaining 870 PSU has the green light on, and the fan works for 2 seconds every time I cut the power it.

    Thanks for any help.

    OK, well... no answers.

    I found a place locally that sold a diet so I arrived with my server, I told them I would buy the power supply that I confirm that the fault was in fact the power supply.

    Well, you know, the unit started correctly with the new power supply, now in IDRAC, I see both power supplies but on that faulty, he reads "present, entry lost.

    So the answer is YES, a power supply may be defective, even if the green light is on.

  • Reference Dell r710 with Perc 6 / i

    Hi all, I'm new and I have a question / an interesting situation.

    I work at a place that has a side job and other corresponding testing of all 100% server hardware.  No not the internet key equipment and we can not use Dell openmanage, I know: (.)  Sometimes our side test was "played" with so that it becomes a bit different and we need to match the side work again.  So to make them the same as we want to be able to shoot one of the servers work drives RAID 1 it pop in the test part and rebuild tests disks RAID 1 hard sides.

    I tried this and it's not well.  I'm looking for the best way to do it?  You cannot use either of imaging software.  :(

    When I tried this, I pulled on all sides of tests of hard drives and fallen into one of the RAID1s on the side work.  Then I said yes to "import foreign disks" then I booted into the operating system and fell in one of the tests sides other readers thinking he would rebuild it, but it didn't.  I guess it's because it was still part of the former RAID1 VDs?  in any case, I then rebooted the testing server, deleted the old disks hard foreign config thinking the controller THEN let me rebuild on it, but still NOT!  I'll have to 'replace' the hard drive.  What I am doing wrong?  Is there a good way to do it?

    Thank you!!!

    -Thomas

    Disks using as as a replacement for a "backup" was never part of its design, but the process of moving the disks to a new controller is fully supported:

    1. CTRL-R start
    2. Remove the VD
    3. Power off
    4. Remove the old disks
    5. Insert the new drive
    6. Power on
    7. IMPORT the foreign configuration
    8. Insert the drive to rebuild... HOT!
    9. CTRL-R start
    10. CLEAR foreign config
    11. Assign the drive as a hot spare to begin to rebuild

    Curious to know your limits - no OMSA, no imaging software?
