SAS HBA or Raid for R905 for external storage?

So I got a R905 used off ebay.  I wanted to use it for a storage server.  Unfortunately, the LSI SAS HBA or the Areca 1883 work in one of the 7 pci-e slots.  The cards are seen and their bios are launched and start automatic and other tests.  Two of them crash during initialization (it is not a matter of waiting a few minutes - in a trial, let him so all day while I was out).  I know that the slots are not dead, like the map 4-port gbe enet provided with it works great, just like a connection-x 2 infiniband card.  I confirmed that the bios and bmc firmware are the latest and best.  It's a kind of dell 'we do support the controllers dell' thing?  If so, I guess I agree with the purchase of a dell SAS HBA connector sff-8088 with random (since that's what jbod I want to connect using...)  Any thoughts appreciated...

Hello.

No Dell non-certified controllers are not validated to work properly on Dell servers. But this does not mean that may not work, it's a 50-50 chance. I recommend using certified Dell SAS HBA card such as: manufacturer: 7RJDT | Dell reference: 342-0910. Not so sure on the type of connector

  • Connecting to a Mac TC cable ethernet for external storage only

    I scoured these forums looking for a solution to my problem, but nothing I've met has worked so far.

    I have a TC of 2 TB.  I'm sure, it is considered as 2nd generation to 99%.  My Mac is a 21.5 mid-2011 "El Capitan running.

    What I'm trying to do is (should be) pretty simple, but I just cannot get this to work.  I live in the glue, so internet high speed cable is not available and I'm stuck with Verizon DSL via the telephone line.  Go ahead... Take minute for model / to feel sorry for me... I'll wait.  OK, so I have this DSL modem/router from Verizon Wireless and my TC does not seem to play well with it, when I joined the network.  Internet continues in and out and wireless file transfer is so slow.  So I would just remove my TC of the network, disable the wifi signal that he died, and connect to my Mac via the ethernet cable and use it strictly as an external hard drive for my media files.  Any help on how to do this would be appreciated.

    Go ahead... Take minute for model / to feel sorry for me

    I live in important suburb of Melbourne in Australia and count myself "LUCKY" to get DSL to about 6 Mbps, then you are the global average, I guess for internet.

    (Of course we have a Conservative Government... think Republican or Tory... whose the idea of fast internet is something from the years 1990) A conservative, he also seems = backward.

    I have a TC of 2 TB.  I'm 99% sure, it is considered as 2nd generation

    It's really unlikely... they sold a handful.

    Look on the bottom... paper A1409 label is gen4, molded into the first line of rubber... Gen3 is A1355... A1302 is Gen2 and extremely likely.

    So I would just remove my TC of the network, disable the wifi signal that he died, and connect to my Mac via the ethernet cable and use it strictly as an external hard drive for my media files.

    You can do this... * If you? *

    The method is here.

    Time Capsule using wired for Mac for backup only.

    It is a bit tricky because of the gateway and DNS issues.

    If you need more details give me a screenshot of your network on the Mac wireless connection.

    * If you *.

    A self powered 2 TB 2.5 "disk connected to the back of your Mac. will be invisible... it will be faster and much more reliable than the old TC.

    It will allow your local files not network... and therefore the time Machine will work... Time Machine backup impossible of network drives. It can use as the target source ever.

  • Suggestions of RAID for local storage of ESXi5.

    I'll put up a little POC ESXi 5 Ent environment and you want to use local storage. (5 x 146 GB 15 k disks). I'm not really worried about space, the virtual machine will be small and fair for the POC, but I want to put in place the discs of the best that I can. I read about a large RAID 5 and 1 spare HD, 1 small RAID 1 for ESXi and then RAID 10 for VM.

    What is a good best practice which will INCLUDE a built-in redundancy incase I want to lose a player.

    Thank you!

    Say 5 concerts for esx...

    Make at least 6 GB for the operating system and scratch partition can be configured! Depending on how the controller RAID calculates disk space, 5 GB may be simply too little a few bytes. I usually do 10 GB which allows for a small store of data that I use for ISO images.

  • HP SAS HBAS with IBM Storage and SAS SAN vs iSCSI SAN

    Hello, I am working on a project, and I have to add a SAN solution to my client infaestructure. My client already has a HP Server and we wanted to add another server, but an IBM one. I thought I'd add storage IBM (DS3200) that has two SAS interfaces. The problem is that the Distributor IBM says who does not know if the HP Server will be able to communicate with the SAS IBM storage. So, one possibility was to put on the server HP HP SAS HBA Controller. The second option is to put a SAS HBA Controller IBM. I think that the SAS is a standard, it doesn't matter what brand I use of HBA. Should not it works anyway?

    There is another option which adds instead of SAS one iSCSI storage. The problem is that I do not know the performance than the iSCSI storage. I want to put inside it's VM with Exchange Server (50 mailboxes), an ERP (for 50 users) with it's SQL Server, a computer file virtual, a virtual machine server with Active Directory.

    So, the questions are:

    1 - does anyone have experience with iSCSI storage to see if its performance if goog enough (I intend to use a dedicated to the iSCSI network gigabit switch)?

    2 does anyone know if I use different brands of servers (in this example an IBM and HP) with a SAS storage IBM? Who be it already done? The HP SAS HBA are compatible with the IBM iSCSI storage? IBM SAS HBA are compatible with HP servers?

    3. in the case of being able to do what I say to question 2, that do you suggest? Put a HP SAS HBA within the HP Server or upgrade an IBM SAS HBA inside HP Server?

    Of course the option I want to use is the addition of SAS IBM storage instead of using an iSCSI one, but I'm not sure of their compatibility between HP and IBM storage servers.

    Thanks in advance.

    In this case, the reason why I wouldn't use SAS is that your application requires this level of performance and the cost as not justified. You can configure iSCSI and direct savings in most important features such as snapshot, replication and dedup. If you were available to this solution with the DS3200 spend you 10K and that none of these features. Performance is very good, but you will find that the system is not yet warmed up with this load. The SAS Protocol can support high IO, but is not what provisions IO, is the number of disks and the RAID mode that defines your ability to e/s. I put 40 K terraced small IOPS / s on a single caching of 1 GB iSCSI target, so he can make the e/s. flow is not as high , but do you really need it. In the future you can profitable move to 10Gbe if you find insufficient bandwidth, which would be faster than the SAS 3 GB limit that is uneconomic to upgrade 3 + times.

    Kind regards

  • What external storage disk is good?

    I want to buy I drive or external storage. I m from the India. Could someone recommend a good brand? I am owner of iPhone OS and iPad Air 2.

    External drives will not work with an iPhone or an iPad. You would need a wireless for external storage drive. There are any number of such around Seagate, Western Digital, etc. They should all be OK to use it.

  • RAID works using MD1200 r.620 and 6 GB/s SAS HBA?

    We have a r.620 with Dell SAS HBA already in which is attached to a tape of 124 t library.

    Just got a MD1200 and I plugged in the other port on the SAS HBA.  I can see the drives in Windows Disk Manager.  I can also see Open Manage, but there is no option to use RAID functions or create virtual discs.  Should there be?

    In fact, OpenManage said "Connector 0 (no RAID)" with regard to the SAS 6 GB/s HBA.   I searched online for drivers for this card that allow RAID and can not find.  Am, I watered?   How the RAID to work on the MD1200?

    Hello wardog25,

    For the MD1200 you use a PERC card because it will allow that you create a raid array. The SAS 6hba that is used for your 124 t isn't a raid card, so you will not be able to create a raid on this map. For a MD1200, we recommend that you use a PERC H800. Here is a link to the Guide of interoperability for the MD1200 & if you look at page 2, it lists the supported raid controllers. FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_powervault/PowerVault-md1200_Reference%20Guide_en-us.PDF

    Here is a link to buy a PERC H800 if you need.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Best RAID for ESX 3.5 Configuration

    Hi all.

    I was wondering, what is the best configuration of RAID for ESX 3.5 performance?

    I have a HP DL360 G5 Proliant with several SAS drives.

    It will be better to make a RAID 5 o RAID1?

    Thank you!

    There is no best RAID for ESX. Depends on VM disk usage profile - so if you plan to install SQL server and then create RAID appropriate for SQL server.

  • Bought the new computer windows 10, itunes has changed location of support for external hard drive. The music does not appear in itunes.

    BOUGHT NEW COMPUTER WINDOWS 10, CHANGED ITUNES MEDIA LOCATION FOR EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. THE MUSIC DOES NOT APPEAR ON ITUNES.

    Changing the iTunes media folder location setting affects only where new additions to your library will be stored.  To use a disk external drive to store your library complete (and assuming that you have access to the original data of the library on an old computer) you must copy the iTunes folder, by default in C:\Users\username\Music, on the external drive - structure library and its records should be like this:

    The hold button SHIFT DOWN when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

    Click choose a library... then find and select the iTunes Library.itl in iTunes on your external drive folder.

    For more information, see user turingtest2 on make a library of portable split.  You must also acquire a 2nd external drive and allows create and maintain a backup your library.
