• BSOD drives when adding T110 ii with PERC H200 and SBS 2011 or Server 2008 R2-

  Bought the server next in November 2011

  PowerEdge T110 II

  ManufDate: 24/10/2011 market: 06/11/2011
  RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4) 1333 mhz UDIMM DualRanked
  Processor: Xeon E3-1270 3.4 Ghz, 8 M cache, Turbo, Quad Core/8 t (80W)
  RAID: Map Perc H200
  Drive: 2 x 600GB 15K RPM SCSI 6Gbps 3 .5in - RAID 1 Mirror SA
  SBS 2011 standard x 64 (works on Win 2008R2)

  SBS 2011 installed without a problem and the server works perfectly since December 2011.  Backups occurring twice per day to a USB attached hard drive external 1.5 to and OS patches applied on a monthly basis without problem.

  Company need more storage so it wanted to add 2 drives more (same spec as to purchase). I thought to try to turn the RAID 1 pair in RAID 10 set in order to keep the simple logical configuration (a single large logical volume which now seems to be 1.2 TB in size instead of 600 GB) - could get but not really someone to describe if it could be done for non-destructive way that requires not the complete system installation/restoration - so opted for just add the 2 new drives as a RAID extra 1 pair in order to not reach a stable, boot, partition operating system running on the current RAID 1 pair.

  Contracted for the Dell technician to come out to install 2 new readers, be clear that the service was not complete until I had an extra pair of RAID 1, appearing as a usable operating system.

  Technician arrived, installed readers, set the new RAID pair in the H200 configuration utility, rebooted the system and when the BONES began to load had a blue screen BSOD. Technician then disconnected drives newly associated (the level of the cables) to see if the system would boot - BSOD again on restart (both of now get us this "pleated" feel if you know what I mean). Then went into the raid configuration utility, removed the new raid 1 volume (which, by the way, is appeared above the one existing in the list - which is not very intuitive that one that has been added is Volume 1 and the existing old is Volume 2 in the utility). After the triple-checking that we had the right volume (it showed that 8% initialized over the other which was complete, as well as the corresponding drive port numbers), we have REMOVED the new volume (at this point I don't remember if we had replaced the cables for the readers to perform this action).

  At startup the system rebooted normally - we were all so relieved, don't talk over retries at the moment.

  Talk to Dell there seems to be a problem with the PERC H200 firmware or drivers. Has not affected the config initial of a single pair of RAID 1, however caused problems when you attempt to add another pair. Escalation of Dell support said that has happened several times with Windows 2008 (which comes from the SBS 2011) systems. They recommended that the firmware update and the PERC H200 card drivers.

  I turned to the technician and asked when we could plan the updates of the firmware and driver and told him that they wouldn't do that (not sure that I blame the poor guy, he was sweating bullets after the BSOD 2nd).  I explained that we have contracted for installation services which included ensuring that the pair of extra disk appeared also usable for the operating system and he said that I needed to talk to Dell that.

  You wanted to post information on issues with PERC H200 BSOD when adding disks on Win2008 (or SBS 2011).

  Waiting for response from Dell as to who will come on-site to complete the installation.

  Any info about the question to know if the update of the firmware/driver will solve the problem or if I can do with reliability a disk 2 RAID 1 for a 4 disk RAID 10 conversion without having to reinstall/restore system would be appreciated.

  There is NO migration route TO or FROM a nested RAID levels (10, 50, 60) on one of the PERC H series, so it goes from 1 to 10 of RAID is not an option (without backup/replace/create/restore).

  Firmware release notes do not indicate that a large part is added (although the "bugs" may be enough):

  -Addition of Support for > 2.2 to SAS hard drives

  -Small bug fixes

  I have not seen/heard talk of this problem (I don't have a H200), but it is possible that an update of the firmware can change the way it handles the new disks, newly configured RAID arrays, or even how it presents to the OS.

  Do you know if the technician checked to see if the original VD was marked as boot VD?

• Why the Windows Vista client gets the IP address of the Windows SBS 2011 as default DNS server?

  I use Windows Vista on a client computer that is connected to our Windows Server SBS 2011 server. I don't want to use the DNS server on the local server and the DNS addresses are automatically collected on our router. Every time I have to restart my computer or disconnect / reconnect the connection to the local network, the default DNS server address is set back to static and has the IP address of the local server, which makes it much slower DNS specifications.

  Can I disable this automatic update of address of DNS server somehow? In fact, I don't want to run a DNS server on the local server.

  Thank you to inform in advance!

• ESXi hosts SBS 2011, clients lose network via VPN

  Greetings,

  We have an ESXi Server (in a lab environment) who perform a SBS 2011 and a Windows 2003 (Terminal Server).

  We have two locations, connected via a VPN IPSec (2 boxes of ClearOS).

  The ESXi host is located in building r. customers in the construction of an experience no problem at all.

  Customers in the building B often lose connectivity to network share. We also failed when copying data. Do not forget that the servers are located in the building and issues affecting only users in the B building.

  We noticed the event ID 2012 on the VM SBS 2011 event viewer.

  The two buildings are connected to a cable broadband 10 mb / 1 mb ISP.

  NOD32 Antivirus is installed on the two virtual machines

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Hello

  There are a few things to look out for more such links. The following steps were made on W2K and W2K3, so that they are still applicable for you.

  (1) is the VPN capable to manage the packet being sent by site B MTU size, sometimes the MTU on VPN size must be less than the default value of 1500 set LAN. You can check this scathing your server with a command like

  ping f-l 1500

  If you get a message like "packet needs to be fragmented but DF parameter.

  You will need to reduce the size of the MTU TCP/IP in the client registry. Try to ping the server with a size of 500 bytes and see how it goes.

  (2) setting the server TCP/IP stack

  In the registry HKLM \SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters, create or modify value DWORD of TcpMaxDataRetransmissions. By default, it is set to 5, but I recommend double this value to 10. The TcpMaxDataRetransmissions value is the number of retransmissions of TCP of a data segment without acknowledgement of receipt on an existing connection. TCP retransmits data segments until they are acknowledged or until the expiry of this value. Basically, when a client does not meet a package from the server, the server will attempt to retransmit the packet until TcpMaxDataRetransmissions many times. By increasing this value, you give the customer more time to answer on the server, which will help improve the flaky connections or connections with latency or higher than normal packet loss.

  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveInterval and HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\KeepAliveTime.

  Both entered DWORD.
  KeepAliveInterval determines the interval between retransmissions keep until a response is received. If a response is received, the delay until the next keep alive transmission is again controlled by the value of KeepAliveTime.
  The connection will be broken once the number of retransmissions specified by TcpMaxDataRetransmissions is remained. KeepAliveInterval is set by default at 1000, which is one second.
  KeepAliveTime controls how many times TCP attempts to verify that an idle connection is still intact by sending a living package of the Dungeon. If the remote system is still reachable and running, he will acknowledge receipt of the living transmission to keep. KeepAliveTime is set by default to 7 200 000, or 2 hours.

  I hope this helps.

• Help with Vmware Fusion & SBS 2011 Essentials; best practices

  Hi all

  Looking for a little help setting up a virtual machine on a Mac Pro to use as a server in a small business.

  We currently have an office of 6 users, all but one of which are windows users (XP and 7, although all soon to be upgraded to 7). Also, we have a Server SBS 2003 and until recently used it for storage of files, a database principal, Exchange and vpn. The server hardware has become very noisy to the point of this embarrassing other users in the room I'm looking to upgrade options.

  The machine I use now is a 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 10 GB of RAM and I'm looking for this move with the to use with the server I'll be swapping to a MBP 17 ". I installed a trial version of SBS 2011 Essentials on it and have successfully installed the main and used database from a client machine so I'm glad that everything will work. We went from the e-mail Exchange on Gmail, which is why Essentials is good enough for me.

  I'm stuck now with what to know how to set up the machine to integrate properly. I have a 250 GB boot currently installed with Snow Leopard disk and that you have ordered 2 x 1.5Tb hard drives I had planned mirror in OS X using disk utility. The plan was part of the 250 GB boot drive partition (say 100 GB) to use as a separate partiton on which to store virtual machines. The record 1.5 to had to be kept separate and used as a data reader.

  I'm not sure now, that's how all of them work with SBS 2011? Can I move forward as expected and share the drives through OS X (SL or Lion server) as a network share? If so, how it plays with windows clients? Can I use AD control connections or I end with a mixture of OD and AD (which would be an argument)

  Or should I install SBS 2011 on the disks of 1,5 to, spend the entire disk to SBS 2011 and treat sharing here?

  By train to these things is not a problem, it's just trying to understand what is the best solution for day-to-day management and backup.

  Thanks in advance.

  Give points to Woody, by all means!  Sorry that SBS isn't my area, but if you want to watch using scripts to control your virtual machine, you can find these useful URLS:

  http://communities.VMware.com/docs/doc-1201

  and

  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vix162_vmrun_command.PDF

  Of course, you could also turn on the accessibility of Mac (System Preferences > universal access > enable access for assistive devices and use AppleScript or other Mac automation technologies, such as ATOMac (https://github.com/pyatom/pyatom).)

• I have a SBS 2011 and cannot connect to internet through VERIZON FIOS.

  I have a SBS 2011 and cannot connect to internet through VERIZON FIOS. The SBS is unable to detect the IP address and gave an error message. I never get to a screen that allows me to type in the "IP address of the router" or "IP address". Verizon told me that their router address is "192.168.1.1". After a new trial, I added my NETGEAR FS105 switch between the FIOS router and my PC 2 and SBS. Result - conflict of addresses of servers.
  Any suggestions or solutions to this problem?
