Reference Dell T300 RAID additional Install

Currently I have a T300 Dell with a RAID 1. Current readers are almost complete, so I have 2 drives more than I am about to install in another RAID 1 on the server. Ask yourself what are the steps needed to do this successfully.

Currently, I plan the following:

1 stop server

2. install the new discs on the front of the server.

3 Server boot in OS (Server 2008)

4. use the Dell software to configure new RAID 1.

Is that going to succeed?

1 skip this step.

2. install new disks on the front of the [hot] Server.

3. no need to 'boot' in OS.

4 use the Dell [OMSA] software to configure new RAID 1.

  • Reference Dell T300 RAID 1 broken by the firmware update

    Hello

    We have a Dell T300 with the SAS 6/iR adapter.

    We have a RAID1 with 2 x 3 TB drives (visible only 2 TB).

    I have updated the firmware on the SAS adapter to the latest version available here:

    and now the RAID 1 has disappeared!

    We have a lot of important data on this virtual drive so any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Jerry.

    Hi Josh,.

    Thanks for getting back to me. The physical connections and the disks were good and they appeared in the update controller RAID configuration. But the virtual drive RAID1 had disappeared.

    I solved the problem by downgrading to an earlier version of the firmware.

    If I had read the README of the first firmware upgrade page completely, I would have noticed:

    The migration of the SAS 6/iR controllers PERC6 controller RAID Volumes is only supported for volumes created originally on 6/iR controllers SAS running review FW 00.25.47.00 or later version.

    I was able to locate a FW version 00.20.48 here.

    The executable flash.bat refused to downgrade the FW version

    However, looking at the .bat files, I could see that flash.bat called xflash.bat called sasflash.exe which is a LSI utility to upgrade the firmware of the card.

    I found an old manual with the arguments that sasflash.exe take here and use the switch - fwdown to wipe the card and firmware downgrade.

    When the server has started upward the virtual drive was back. Phew!

    Guess I'll read the Readme next time?

    Thank you for your attention,

    Jerry.

  • Reference Dell R610 RAID, virtual disk more problems of 1800 GB

    Hello community,

    I was frustrated by my attempt at installing VSphere 4.0 Update 2 (or 1) on a virtual disk on a SAS Perc 6, which is more than 1 800 GB in size and I was wondering if any of you have had similar experiences and how you have handled THIS.

    Break your table into smaller pieces. ESX requires a minimum of about 10 GB, even if you can make bigger it. ESXi requires only 1 GB. Data warehouses may not be less than 2 TB. You may be able to use virtual disks raid based to break the table.

  • Reference DELL 510 RAID 5 - missing 2 HDD (1 foreign)

    Good evening everyone,

    This afternoon I did some research on how to put my 2 TB HARD drive to 4 TB of HARD drive on my RAID 5 of 6 HARD drives.

    To enter the configuration, I noticed that two of the six disk HARD saying missing then in the Ctrl Mgmt tab one of the HARD drive said foreign.

    How to fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Dan

    The Setup is:

    2 x 300 GB RAID1

    6 x 2 TB RAID5

    Two of the RAID5 HDD reported missing, one of the two foreigners.

    So I've gone on foreign view / highlighted the top level config / foreigner / option Yes or no (yes some)

    On which dates back to the first page "Mgmt" it then one of the missing disks on 'ready' and the other ' rebuild '.

    He runs out of night to see what happens. Will update.

  • Reference Dell Perc 6 ESXi T300

    I try to install ESXi on my dell T300. I have 4 hard drives on a raid Perc 6 controller, and I created a 5 to 2 TB raid array.

    I have advanced and installed ESXi on drives and connected with the client of the infrastructure. I try to add the storage remains in the system, so I can start putting a few images there.

    However my problem is the storage not appears between 26 and 45 GB when I added it to the system. When I try to add storage, capacity is listed as 2.05 TB but Availalble space is limited to 45,64 GB. Is there something I am missing with this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.  ESX (i) have a limit of 2 TB LUN.  With ESX it will used the first 2 TB and ignore the rest, but with ESXi for some reason, it ignores the pieces of 2 TB and use the rest (0.05 CT in your case).  If you re-create the matrix 2.0 TB - 512 B you will be able to use the total amount of storage.

  • Reference Dell M1000e + aggregator MI/O port mapping

    Hi all

    I intend to install a new chassis Dell M1000e with Dell M/o aggregator. During the time of solution, I have a few questions about correspondences between the physical uplink with NDC blade ports ports. A Please check the config below and specify my queries?

    My hardware:

    • 1 x Dell M1000e
    • 2 x M i/o aggregator (A1 & A2)
    • 16 x M630 Blade (Qlogic 57840 S ANC four ports card)

    Reference DELL M/o aggregator:

    (reserved for Future use) module QSFP + 2 ports (Port No1:33 - 36 & No2:37 Port-40)

    I want to use these two modules for my blades 4-port Quad and the confusion I had, how to associate these 16 ports (8 ports of each module) to the server blade and the amount of bandwidth I will get by blade with redundancy.

    Module 4-port SFP + 10 GbE (Flexi-O of the Bay) (Port No.: 41-48)

    Module 4-port 2/4/8 Gb FC FlexIO (Flexi Bay 1) (Port No.: 49-56)

    FYI - I would like to install ESXi 6.0 on all blades

    Thank you!!

    Oriented server ports are configured automatically as part of the aggregation of links groups if the server is configured for the LACP Protocol. Static GAL is not supported.

    You will use the segregation network VLAN. A VLAN for network traffic and the other for the CF. Here are the commands to configure interfaces for different VLANS.

    Unidentified:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # vlan unidentified 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Tag:

    Dell (conf) # tengigabit interface 0/16

    The tag vlan Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) # 4

    Output Dell(conf-if-te-0/16) #.

    Traffic from servers will follow the path of the VLAN. For example, if an internal server, facing the port is set to VLAN 4, that traffic will be transmitted on the uplink port which has also set to VLAN 4.

    By default, all external ports are placed in a single whole LAG. However, you can change the configuration to support several shifts of uplink. Page 159 of guys configuration takes you step by step on setting up several shifts of uplink.

    The aggregator automatically configures to match the FCoE parameters used in the switches to which it connects through its uplink ports. FIP snooping is automatically configured on an aggregator. Automatically configured port channel (LAG 128) works CWF port mode. See page 86 for more information and examples of config.

    For redundancy, you could stack the units together. 241 page details the process of stacking.

    Page 54 of 102 of the Guide blade IO has one other diagram that details more internal server port mapping for each blade.

    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 used Acronis True Image 2016 to clone the hard disk SSD. Cloning process is very much like on any other computer.

    The problem is that each cold 4 or 5 boots the computer cannot find the SSD drive. Restarting the computer solves the problem of that time. I have to find a solution. I want to sell them with a SSD and not with a HARD drive.

    I tried the things:

    Update the Bios of the A14 to A23.

    Put a spacer of 2mm on the SSD and of course the resettlement of the SSD.

    Exchange for another Intel 535 120 and 240 GB.

    Use a HARD drive? Last resort. I can't stand slow hard disks regularly.

    Hello.

    Have an old dell desktop with XP.
    Have a new computer dell laptop with Vista.

    Both came pre-installed.
    Both came with a CD to reinstall Windows.

    Am I allowed to install Vista from that original CD on the desktop?
    I did, then you have the problem (not genuine copy of Vista). I have since reinstalled Vista, but before I completely setting up the office, once again, I want to make sure that I am able to do this (do not want the new not genuine error).

    Specific questions:
    1. am I allowed to use portable CD to install Vista on another computer?
    2. If so, that must be done to ensure the "not genuine" error can't?

    Reference Dell binds their records to their motherboards.

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.

  • Reference Dell 968 AIO, Windows 7 on Dell Studio XPS - messed up

    I have a Dell 968 AIO which was printing on the use of pilots (probably the original) on my Dell XPS Studio 8000 Win 7 pc, a week ago. He stopped printing a few days ago.

    I assumed the problem was the drivers and not the ink. So I tried to install the new drivers. It does not solve the problem. Indeed, the new drivers would not install completely. When he got to the last step of the installation the Setup program just hung. More on this in a minute.

    I bought new ink cartridges and allowed me to test the 968 printer and it prints very well now.

    However, when I tried to print a document from the computer.

    I tried to uninstall the old drivers and reinstall new drivers. Unfortunately, I got the USB cable is plugged. So I have messed up, and it would not print. He could not "locate the file. I tried after I unplug the USB stick and a running registry cleaning. Still no luck, but worse, I noticed that the installers had left a lot of luggage around.

    • There is a folder c:/dell/drivers/986, which seems to have a lot of the old drivers.
    • There was a folder c:/program files (x 86) /Dell AIO Printer 968
    • And there is also a folder c:/program files (x 86) (x 86) /Dell 968 AIO Printer.

    I followed the steps for a clean uninstall, and it is where I am now. However, there a lot of carrying files around in Dell matter folders on my hard drive.

    I'm sure I made a complete mess of things, can anyone help?
