• raid LSI 2308 controller question

  Hi experts

  Someone with experience with the raid LSI 2308 controller? When I look at my card storage in ESX5.5.2 I see. But when I look through cli it says no map found:

  I need to load the firmware first to make it work? Like this guy mentioned here? http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2014/04/08/updating-LSI-firmware-ESXi-commandline/

  I had three SSD that is not at all recognized by ESX and I'm trying to see if the LSI is perhaps what is needed to make it work.

  Thank you

  update the necessary lsi driver. esx5.5.2 removed some less common drivers.

• Supermicro onboard Intel and Adaptec RAID configuration unrecognized in ESXi 5.5 U2

  Hi, I have a supermicro X7DAL-E r1.1b motherboard has integrated Intel and Adaptec sata raid controllers. To enable raid controllers, I go into the BIOS and enable the raid configuration for intel or adaptec. I tried two raid controllers and created a configuration raid 5 by going through the bios of each controller. However, when I start to go through the process of installing ESXi 5.5 U2, I see not a logical drive, all I see are hard drives that I thought were configured as a logical drive in raid 5.

  I know that I am using an old motherboard which is not on the HCL, but I just haven't the money to spend on equipment. I really want to make it work if possible. I tried to download ESXi 4 but it is no longer available . I understand I tried to use an older version to see if it contains the necessary drivers for it work and attempt to port these drivers in ESXI 5.5.

  I was wondering if someone actually got this similar problem with supermicro Board and whether a solution or workaround has been found in which ESXi 5 can recognize the raid configuration? If this is impossible, it can't be done, that's what it is. I'll deal with it or put in place.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Not sure about this 'r1.1b' version, but original X7DAL-E has no onboard hardware raid controller. What he has is i5000 chipset, which offers the raid software-(aka bios-, faux-, etc.). This is not supported by ESXi (for very good reasons). And even if it were, no cache, you would get terrible performance...

• The system automatically saves me and when I traced it why it happened I get messages on the installation of the iata.enu.exe of the Raid Intel 10.1.0.1008 file version.

  On a basic daily shortly after I started my system to the top I am automatically disconnected, and when I look at as to why it happened I receive information about installing updates to Intel RAID, iata_eni.exe or iata_cd.exe file. When I log on I can continue to work sometimes for the rest of the day without any problems. Any suggestions as to what I should do would be appreciated.

  Hello

  I suggest you to contact the manufacturer of the system to help about it. IATA.enu.exe is a specific file from Intel and you may need to install the latest version of the BIOS of your computer.

  Note:

  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• Problems with the raid PERC S100 controller

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought a Dell R410 server with a raid PERC S100 without search controller before that. Problem is that I need to install a Linux OS and as it seems, this controller does not support linux.

  Because I was in a hurry, but they can also help in my situation, I bought the following cables:

  

  Apparently, I don't have a slot for connecting the cables... :)

  So my question is. Is there a solution to this problem? I tried to disable/remove the S100, but the MB does not detect hard drives. The server is with a bottom of basket.

  I actually found this thread in the forums-> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/906/t/19472600.aspx, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the cables posted in the thread.

  Here is an actual photo of the machine:

  

  This server will support the SAS 6/ir, Perc 6 / i and controllers Perc H700. you will need to run linux on this server. The SAS 6/ir is limited to RAID 0 and 1; Perc run several RAID levels.

  If you get the SAS 6/ir or Perc 6 / i, you will need this cable:

  69V70 cable, 6i/SAS PERC 6i/5 at the bottom of basket of 6G

  For the H700, need you also this cable:

• Failed to create full-size VMFS Datastore on large virtual disk on Dell R710 5 2 t + 1, Raid 5 PERC6i controller

  ESXi4, I installed it on my Dell R710. She has 6 1 TB on PERC6i SAS drives, 5 discs do Raid 5 with hot spare disk 1. And I created 3 VD, 1 is from 40 GB to install the OS, 2 is 1 TB to contain the model ISO and VM and 3 is 2.6 TB to contain the VM.

  After installing ESXi4, I found only 2 created Datastore: 2. 39 GB 1 Datastore and 1 TB data store no data store has been created on the VD 2.6 TB.

  I tried to create it manually, but I found that only 635 GB in size can be created on this 2.6 t. Why? As I remembered ESXi4 can support up to 64 TB VMFS Datastore.

  The BIOS is 1.0.4.

  Someone had the idea?

  Take a look at this "vSphere and 2 TB LUN has changed VI3.x.

  http://virtualgeek.typepad.com/virtual_geek/2009/06/vSphere-and-2TB-LUNs-changes-from-vi3x.html

  Oh, a data store to 64 would consist of 32 degrees to ~ 2 TB. The limit on the size of the LUN behind the data store is 512 b less than 2 TB

• Controller RAID Pavilion sees reinstall my biggest records according to the OS, but Windows does not.

  I removed the two 500 GB drives orginal my Pavilion CTO (set at the factory in a RAID 0 configuration) and replace them with two WD Velociraptor 1 TB drives.  I started from my set of recovery operating system (3 DVD) discs and restored the system.  The restoration wrote to one of the disks.  After completing all the starting tips for first time Windows, I ran the utility Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) and rebuilt the RAID 0 volume, taking the option to keep the data residing on the first hard drive.  The accumulation of volume took several hours.

  The bishoprics of controller RAID Intel than drives are drives of 1 TB, and it built a 2 TB RAID 0 volume.  However, even after restarting a few times, total area of 1 to 7 see only Windows on the C: and D: (original image) logical drives, rather than the actual volume of RAID 2 to.

  How can I get Windows to recognize the larger volume?  Is it possible, or is the 1 TB capacity 'wired' somewhere in my system?

  Note that throughout this process, I left "Mode SATA controller" = "RAID" in the BIOS.  In view of the fastest 10 K rpm Velociraptor readers, I am flexible concerning the RAID 0 configuration; two independent readers would be OK, if Windows would recognize their actual size.  So I did a little experiment: I started in the BIOS, change 'Mode SATA controller' = 'IDE', registered and you leave.  The system starts only a car config, so I started another set of my operating system recovery disc restore.  He rewrote the operating system to one or two hard drives (who knows), but then the system would not start, probably because the disks are connected to a hardware controller RAID Intel physical and will therefore work mode controller BIOS to "RAID".  I recycled power, entered the BIOS and changed the mode of controller to "RAID".  As suspects, the system unbootable, so I now have to reinstall the OS with the controller in RAID mode, but before that, I want to determine if there is a way to get Windows to recognize the size of 2 TB.

  Thanks for the advice; always nice to know some utilities, we didn't ever existed.

  As you suggested, I run Diskpart and cleaned the second disc (instant).

  Then I went to control panel > administrative tools > computer management > storage > disk management.

  I clicked in the unallocated disk area second on the graphic display and went through the dialogue to create a new volume and assign a drive letter.  Pretty painless.

  Then, an "Autoplay" window open on the desktop, and there was my second 1 TB drive.

  It's a wonderful world.

  Now, I just have to remove all the bloatware, apply the updates Windows and HP of 3.5 years, reinstall and reconfigure all my apps, reload my data, make some adjustments and call it a day.

  Thanks again.

• ESXi: SAS Raid 1 Boot w / SATA for backup?

  Situaltion:

  • There is currently no effective backup strategy.  Download that data over a slow WAN link can be used to restore or install timely.

  • 2 units of each SCSI 146 GB for $100 / month.  2 each 1 TB SATA disks for $100 / month, provider supplied NAS 300 GB for $150 / mo.  Seller provided iSCSI for 300 GB to $200 / month.

  • Cost per GB SCSI is not yet close to that of SATA.  Two 146 GB drives would be very marginal.

  • I intend to load balancing and cluster two sites on servers with something like CARP.  I am open to any suggestion using NAS and iSCSI.  The main things that matter are mysql used by http, http and email.  Sites are dynamic and use PHP which requires the session data.

  Mission:

  • Store copies of virtual machines, store ISO images, make backups of the operating system and perform backups of application server to provide access to the required software and backup and highspeed images.

  • Retain the ability to balance the load and 2 cluster sites.

  Equipment available:

  • Two ESXi servers run SuperMicro X7DWU motherboard (Compatible with ESXi) Adaptec RAID 31605 controller RAID-1 running. (http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?device_cat=io & device_id = 9051)

  • Each server has two network cards integrated, private one on the network, eth0 and the other on the public network eth1.  (Intel Corporation Intel 82575EB Gigabit)

  • Other controllers on the motherboard are: controller RAID Intel ESB2 SATA 3.0Gbps.  Others got this controller to work with ESXi on the same motherboard on this forum.  (http://communities.vmware.com/message/891637#891637)

  Execution:

  I need your ideas to develop a good strategy.

  1. Yes.  You can assign to ESX directly and create a VMFS out of it, and then give that space for the virtual machine that you use for the backup.  You have to be careful and make sure that go you through the HCL (vmware.com/go/hcl) to get a SATA controller supported.  Not all controllers will work and be recognized by ESX.

  2 Yeap.  You need not necesarilly CYGWIN for NFS, there are tools of $ M that can be loaded as well Windows services for unix, either will endeavour to provide an NFS server.  The downside is you need a windows license, but the customer is handy to have.  You can use a virtual linux machine, and even if you can't use the vi client, you can use the remote cli tools that are available for Linux.  Vima (VI Management Assistant) unit is a device based on linux with the remote cli installed, might want to take a look if you have not already.  You can use samba on it and be able to map a drive as your windows machines.

  3. Yes, absolutely.  If you have an NFS server, you can also use it as a data store NFS for the 2nd Server.

  4 VCB is very convenient and it will allow you to skip creating a server and the export of the step of the vm, but you will still need to configure vcb proxy, which will need a windows server.

• Area 51 R2 - RAID 0

  I've scoured the forums and can't seem to find a concrete answer.

  The support of area 51 R2's RAID at all?

  In my other machines, I could press CTRL + I and enter in the form of optionROM where I could configure the volumes.
  Do not see an option to WOOD to set RAID or AHCI.

  I read in the messages that it supports RAID ports 1,2,3... not 4, 5 and 6.
  If she supports it, how do you get the configuration of the volumes?

  If all goes well, it miss something simple and obvious.

  I realize only for some time someone posted in this thread. However, I had the same problem and could not do the above method works. The solution is to disable the Secure Boot as indicated in the post following lonchors to

  Question

  Customers are not able to pass SATA AHCI RAID in the system BIOS.

  Response

  It is no longer an option to switch between RAID and AHCI mode in the system BIOS. The BIOS will now have RAID, by default. The client can configure RAID as usual in the Intel RAID Configuration tool by pressing Ctrl + I on startup.

  Please note that Secure Boot should be disabled so that the Intel RAID menu to appear. This option is available in the START section of the BIOS. In addition, the client must have more than one HARD disk physically connected to controller 1, otherwise they will not be able to access the RAID Utility. Controller 1 ports are the ports labeled Sata, Sata 2, Sata 3 1.

• Problem of ESXi 5.5 and RAID

  So I have an ESXi host and RAID problem with a motherboard for Intel Server S1200V3RP. Basically, the problem is that the 5.5 ESXi host is not recognizing the RAID array set up with the utility integrated. See the images below for what I mean.

  I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID. Although I may be wrong on this subject the behaviour of ESXi and each site Web I found says that this may be the case. I tried integrating storage and RAID drivers in the iso ESXi, I tried to update the BIOS chipset with the deployment server disk, and the management and I tried a USB installation with the drivers but nothing seems to solve this problem.

  Since ESXi does not the table as something other than dedicated disks, I tried an inventive work around by choosing the AHCI BIOS and install ESXi 5.5 mode host on a dedicated disk (volume 0). Then I switched back to RAID and used the Intel Rapid Storage Management utility to configure a RAID5 to three remaining disks. It seems to work very well and I was able to access the vsphere ESXi environment. However I couldn't see the RAID volume again on vsphere storage.

  I've plotted a plan where I could load the drives as individual data on the host and virtual server stores use the disk management utility or another program for RAID 3 hard drives together so that they appear as a single volume. However when I booted the system upward it appeared that the integrity of the RAID5 degraded after the addition of each drive separately (probably because he had to load a VMFS on each disc, thereby breaking the table). So this probably won't work (and even if it's possible, it's probably unnecessarily complex).

  
  Click here

  
  So yes, I don't have really a clear idea of the place where to go to get the RAID controller integrated to be read by ESXi. I was told that there may be compatibility issues between VMware and my Intel server model, but I checked and its on its list of approved so compatibility it couldn't be her. I guess I could just stick with dedicated drives and load the HARD drives as data stores, and then use software RAID across virtual machines - but I am concerned about the way in which redundancy will include when we drive finally fails (could I just Exchange on as a hardware raid?). I always thought that software RAID (especially on windows server disk management) smb read and write speed is terrible compared to hardware RAID.

  Anyone know a solution to this problem or where I could go from here?

  I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID.

  ESXi is not 'super picky' here. This kind of fake-RAIDs that are so common on desktop PC motherboards and entry-level rely on specific drivers provided by the hardware vendor to work really. And suppliers basically only provide Windows drivers in the first place. Any other non-OS Windows would be faced with the same question. Try installing a Linux and that you will not see your RAID volume either.

  Yes, your motherboard does not use a real independent of hardware RAID but a cheap RAID/fake-software controller. See the Intel website:
