Synchronize the PowerEdge T320 SATA 3GBPs single speed

Hi, I have a week old T320 with controller RAID H310 delivered with 2 x 1 TB SATA disks replaceable hot (s.3 - Reference Dell Constellation: 0T4XXN, Seagate ST100NM0033).

The sync rate max - as stated in the BIOS H310 and the lifecycle of the controller is 3Gbps. The RAID H310 map is a map of 6 GB/s that came out in recent years and are these disks SATA 6 GB/s (according to the data sheet of the Seagate)

I talked to Dell 'support', and they said that they had no speed specified in the documentation of the disc, so they did not know (!).

Dell is still actually delivered 3GBPs readers - i.e. special gradient firmware?

They suggested that I talk to sales to change the drives I - but what for? SAS would be an expensive option for sure and if 'support' don't know the specs of their own parties what is sales are going to do.

Any ideas?

For anyone interested, I was correct - Dell hinder their SATA 6GBPs drives up to 3GBPS, and have done since 2009. Apparently, it's a deliberate policy, as they had problems with some servers at the time using specifications SATA III-, but its silly to keep this policy more than 5 years later.

If no server generation 12 - e.g. T320 - don't comes with disks SATA 6GBPs despite the fact that the 'same' exact drive model bought because say OEM Seagate s.3 works thankfully to 6 Gbps. Dell simply artificially degraded performance in their firmware.

With gen 13 servers there is now a * choice * SATA speed - but why?, why same still power SATA II drives to a new server? -at least I know now what is the question.

  • Classified into CPU upgrade PowerEdge T320 - I was wondering if I need thermal paste for the heatsink that came with it

    Subject pretty much said it all.

    We received a CPU upgrade for our PowerEdge T320. The new processor comes with a new heat sink, and it seems that there is a thermal buffer of paste on the lower part of the radiator.

    I wonder if anyone knows if I need to or recommend that I put the extra thermal paste on the chip before mounting the radiator.

    Hello.

    The quantity of thermal paste comes with your CPU should be enough for the CPU holding it in place.

  • I have to shutdown PowerEdge T320 to add more disks?

    Hello

    We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 with following Perc

    ID 0
    Name Adapter PERC H310
    State Loan
    Firmware version 20.12.0 - 0004
    Driver version 6.801.05.00

    Currently, the server has two drives of 1 TB on a RAID 1 virtual disk. I want to add more than 4 drives (2 TB) and create a RAID 5 with 3 disks and leave one as a spare drive. So my questions are:

    1. do I need to disable the server in order to add new readers? -the server has access area Bay front for Perc connections, which are the SATA drives.

    2. what would be the appropriate steps to set up the RAID. Can I make using Dell Open manage?

    3. do you know if the 2 TB drive, I want to use as a hot spare works also for the 1 TB RAID 1 drives?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. you should NOT turn off to add or replace the hot-swappable drives. Leave it on.

    2. Yes, use OpenManage... Select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for RAID 1.

    3. Yes, the reader may be bigger, but not smaller. All larger than the other Member disks space will be wasted space. Then, you'll go from a 1 to a 4 TB RAID 5 RAID 1. Half of all your drives of 2 TB will be wasted.

    Another thing, you need to know is that if Windows is ALREADY installed with UEFI enabled (as opposed to the BIOS), then you can not use more than 2 TB. Windows cannot use a greater than 2 TB drive unless it's TPG, and Windows cannot start a GPT disk except if installed on UEFI system activated. Conversion to GPT is destructive, so it cannot be changed without reinstalling.

    My advice would be to set up your 4x2TB in a 4 TB RAID 6 disks - RAID 6 is a better use of a 'rescue' as a backup pending. RAID 10 would also be acceptable.

  • How can I synchronize the notes of macbook or imac with iphone 4?

    Somehow more notes are not synchronized.

    How can I synchronize the notes of macbook or imac with iphone 4?

    I found the help of apple, to login to icloud for my iphone. As soon as I visit icloud. com that I am advised to implement the icloud on the phone, but it is.

    If your MacBook and iMac running El Capitan (OS X 10.11) and that you upgraded to the new features of notes, sync will alone with an iPhone running iOS 9 or later (which is not possible to do it on an iPhone 4). See the quote below: upgrade your notes with iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan - Apple Support

    When you open Notes in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan for the first time and select Upgrade now, both your notes on your device and your notes on iCloud.com will modernize. And if you connect to iCloud with the same Apple ID on your other iOS devices 9 and OS X El Capitan, all changes made to a note on a single device instantly appear on other devices.

  • ProBook 640 G1: ProBook G1 - SATA Bay Secondary speed 640

    Hello

    I replaced the optical drive with a HARD drive.

    The HARD drive is capable of 6 GB/s but when the value at the same speed in the BIOS I get errors when using the HARD drive.

    If I set the speed SATA 3 GB/s in the BIOS then it works properly.

    My questions are:

    1. in the event that the secondary Bay be able to support SATA 6 GB/s speeds

    2. If I change the speed 3 GB/s SATA in the BIOS, will also reduce the speed of my primary SSD SATA 3 GB/s.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No and Yes. I have long tried to persuade people not to make the caddy optical drive without good thing understand what is happening. The interface is SATA-i: an optical drive has more than that. If you set the SATA mode in the BIOS to 300 Mbps which will Crown all SATA transfers. Having said that, in the reality of exploitation, SATA-II does not give much against SATA-III, the only difference is theoretical maximum burst that is rarely achieved in any case speed. Just updated to SATA-II in the BIOS and use it this way would be my advice or get a SSD for the main drive. A SATA-II SSD is still much faster than any HDD.

  • Buy list HCL SATA or SAS SSD?  Why the consumer grade SATA SSD are meaningless.

    Hello

    I run a node 4 VSAN 6 Cluster with a LSI SAS in Raid-0 Mode controller listed HCL (a 975 queue depth) to which I currently attached: 3 x 10 k SAS Enterprise RPM hard drives and 1 x Samsung 850 SATA Pro 512 GB SSD. The nodes are the same.

    These SSD is due to budgetary constraints. I too put in service the SSD 512 GB to 400 GB and they seem to controllers and BIOS as 400GO devices.

    Performance is horrible. Overall, VM feel morose.

    When you make a copy of a file of DVD ISO file (say 3GB) on one virtual computer to another, I get extremely high 100 MS to 300ms or even higher disk latencies on both virtual machines. When a regeneration occurs because I take a node in Maint.mode with 'full datamigration', or I re - apply a strategy of backup to say "band bandwidth 2" to "stripe-width 3", the whole cluster crushed essentially to a halt. " VM has become so slow and on Linux VM I get same kernel-messages on scsi timeouts, etc. None of the work of the virtual machine, they freeze and basically die because "the disc is extremely unresponsive.

    I'm not alone in this. I have read many similar stories on the net and it often comes down to the 'consumer grade SATA SSD' who these Samsungs are after all.

    I guess I have the same problem.

    My question is this: I have the right to replace the Samsung 850 Pro with either a SAS disk SSD Sandisk which is listed HCL * or * using Intel DC S3700 SATA SSD that are also in the HCL currently for 6 VSAN.

    What I don't understand is: ' if the SATA SSD that I use currently, form a bottleneck due to the depth of the SATA Interface of 32 queue, how can we * all * SATA SSD be on the HCL at all?

    I doubt that these Intel DC S3700 are much faster than the Samsung 850 Pro and they are two SATA drives and they both have a personal 32 queuedepth and all the interface SATA has a 32 port queuedepth pro. So how can disks SATA works in a system of VSAN. I just makes no sense.

    Everyone is to fight to death on "queue-depth queue depth queue depth. Cormac Hogan, Duncan Epping, everyone who is an authority on VSAN. A queue-depth too low controllers were thrown out of the HCL etc etc etc

    When I look at the SSD Intel S3700 HCL wrote:

    Mandatory features:Drive performance, disc reliability, queue depth, SMART SATA Surprise Power Removal, trim attributes / Unmap, Cache write, write the NDR

    It says "tail-depth" as one of the requirements that responds to this SDS. But SATA, by definition, has a maximum queue-depth 32 which is much too small. So, how can it meet "tail-depth"? It is SATA!

    The Intel DC S3700 would cost me about half of the money the SAS SSD Sandisk and of course, if Intel is going to solve my problems of performance, then I'll take those. But if I'm just as much trouble afterwards because of the queue depth of the SATA Interface of 32, then I better invest in the SAS SSD (but which could exhaust my budget for other things so I'd rather not).

    Anyone can shed some light on this?

    (edit: I changed the title to better reflect my findings)

    Update: I bit the bullit, obtained a second mortgage, said my child may not be able to go to College and I bought the SAS SSD (Sandisk 200 GB 6 G SAS). In each of the four nodes, I did a complete data migration, replaced the Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD with the SSD SAS and macaroni holy, all my problems disappeared.

    The whole system feels much more receptive and do things like clone a virtual machine (which would grind the whole cluster to stop) never stops working like nothing happens.

    Before, when I did a simple copy of an ISO to a virtual computer DVD file to another, I would like to get, maybe, 20 MB/s and the entire cluster has started feeling lethargic until the copy job is completed. Now, I get speeds ranging from 80 to 90 MB/s and so bright and responsive.

    What a difference!

    I'm a very happy man.

    Moreover, my network is a 1 Gbps where each node has two NIC in a LACP LAG and I can clearly see a node to talk to another network node 1 NIC and talk to another node on the other card NETWORK LACP nicely splits the traffic on the two cards.

    The system feels so fast now and reconstructions / present a new application of storage policies is difficult to have an impact, and generally occur much more quickly than before.

    And really, the only thing I did was swap the Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD with these SAS SSD.

    Lesson learned: either pay the money of the SAS SSD (which are on the HCL, of course) who is the best, or get certified company VSAN grade SATA SSD but STAY AWAY to consumers rank of SATA SSD because they do not have what it takes. They cannot empty their queues fast enough and all clutter as soon as there is a bit of the system load.

    Just don't do it. Forget the consumer SATA rank. It's like throwing money down the toilet. I've been there and I learned the hard way. Let me be the stubborn donkey, so you don't ;-)

  • Dell PowerEdge T320 - upgrade memory

    Dear all,

    I recently put a server DELL T320 with 64 GB of RAM, I want to add additional memory and would like to know is this server supports 32 GB memory cards. There are now two empty slots in the server and I want to add Two 32 GB cards in them.

    Server model: Dell PowerEdge T320
    Processor: Intel (r) Xeon CPU E5-2407 v2 @ 2.40 GHz
    Board of Directors information: 0MK701, Version A01,.

    Chipset: Intel C602

    Current memory: 16 GB x 4 (64 GB total)

    Product data sheet says that 32 GB is supported. www.Dell.com/.../PD

    Is that no matter what knows the exact part number and make memory which is supported. Please notify.

    Kind regards

    REDA

    Hello.

    Yes, the server supports 32 GB memory modules. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the population memory guidelines requiring that balanced memory channels, will need you 3 modules 32 GB and 16 GB 3 modules such as:

    A1, A2, AND A3: 32GB

    A4, A5 & A6: 16GB

    Here's the 32GB module part number: SKU # A7916527 & Mfg # SNPF1G9D / 32G. Make sure that your BIOS is up to date.

  • Dell PowerEdge T320 PERC H710P Upgrade

    Dear support, I have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server that was purchased with a software RAID controller in S100.  I just bought a PERC H710P controller and hoped to help on the installation.  Do I need anything else to install the card as a set of cables?  I have a 8 x 3.5 "hot swappable backplane already installed with a pair of cables SAS that connect to the motherboard.  What else do I need to do this work?  I'm also not sure where the PERC H710P controller must be installed?  I can't find pictures or drawings on the Internet.

    Thank you

    Jpmigliozzi,

    You should also order the cable (part # DJXF7) as well. This is the cable that connects the 710 in the bottom of the basket 8 x 3.5. Look at the picture below and let me know if those are the cables you already have.

    Let me know.

  • PowerEdge T320 mix RAM 2x8GB + 2x16GB

    Hello

    We have a server poweredge T320 and want to extend the existing 2x8GB memory.

    What should be the configuration as if we want to add 2x16GB?

    Thanks in advance for the help and best regards

    Tim

    Preexo,

    I guess that it is a uniprocessor configuration? If this isn't the case, then let me know.

    If it is a uniprocessor configuration, then you can put the 16 GB DIMMs in slots A1 and A2 white tabs. Then place the 8 GB DIMMs in slots A4 and A5 black tabs. In the BIOS, under the memory settings, make sure that it is set to Optimizer Mode. This will be a supported configuration, as long as they are compatible 16 GB DIMMS.

    You can find more information on the memory system here.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Upgrade PowerEdge T320 wired hot-swappable drives

    Hello

    I'm new to this forum and have sought on this matter but cannot find anything. I hope this isn't a duplicate.

    Well, I just bought a PowerEdge T320 with wired readers and I was wondering if it is possible to update hot later? Whether it is sufficient to install a bottom of basket? Would what parts I need?

    Kind regards

    Tommy

    Hello, Tommy

    Anything is possible, but ranging from cable at the bottom of the basket on the T320 would not be taken in charge or simple.

    pusle
    Whether it is sufficient to install a bottom of basket? Would what parts I need?

    You would need more of a bottom of basket. You must also different cables, and you need some parts that we do not sell. Depending on which controller you have you can have a different controller if you want to use more than 4 slots on the backplane from the controller chipset only supports a maximum of 4 hard drives.

    The backplane and cable configurations use different chassis. We do not sell the chassis. You need to change your current chassis to create disks for HDDs bays. The enclosure which use wired readers couldn't be used for pluggable hard drives hot.

    Thank you

  • Synchronize the iPhone with pictures of Mac pictures

    Hi everyone, first post

    So my situation is I want to synchronize my Mac and my iPhone in such a way so that when I delete a photo of Photos from my Mac, he or she gets removed from my iPhone and visa versa - but there is a problem.

    I synced photos from my iPhone to my Mac in iTunes, hoping it would synchronize the actions so that I would be able to sort my content on my Mac and have everything what I remove synced to my phone, so it is deleted from there too. Unfortunately, which ended by happens is that many pictures on my phone have been reproduced and now I basically have 2 half of all my photos, a version which I am not able to remove. I can't simply delete the half that's disposable, because not all of them have been reproduced. I'm a little puzzled.

    So my question to you all is how to sync Photos to my phone with pictures of my Mac so that when a picture is deleted one, it is also deleted the other?

    Thank you!

    In addition, Mac running macOS Sierra and the iPhone is running iOS 10
