• PowerEdge R230 add RAID controller

  Need advice: the goal is to add Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H330 server Dell Poweredge R230.

  Originally, the data connection is to the motherboard with a mini SAS connector, power cord is related to the Board of Directors itself as well go with a connector 6-pin. Given that the new RAID controller has a different SAS (SFF8644) mini connector, I can't use the original cable.

  So try to solve that I bought 4 X SFF-8482 SAS a cable - Mini SAS SFF 8643. It would connect the RAID controller for readers. (THIS)

  I also added a power cords: 4 Pin IDE power Molex 1 male to 3 x female Splitter & 2 x 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-E adjust Power Supply Cable (THIS) and (THIS). It was supposed to feed readers - but is not and they won't turn on.

  No idea why? Other ideas of ways to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  1. initially, I understood the topology based on the information on the user manual, see the attached figure describing Cabling two 3.5-inch hard drives 'to the PERC card. Isn't this relevant?

  The information I had previously provided are based on the wiring of the Controller PERC H330 with basket 4 x 3.5 "which I assumed you had based on your notes. Thanks for your clarification and ignore these P/Ns. Here are the cables you need.

  • Signal and cable LED to P/N 6R7VT the H330 controller to connect to the motherboard
  • Cable SAS junction A H330 for 2 hard drives or optical drives, P/N TTN3V
  • Hard/optical drive power cable from the system board P/N N9P7R for 4 HD (shipped with your server. Use only 2 connectors) or P/N VXR2 for 2 hard drives.

  IB - EN1

  457CH, TWV59, 6R7VT: I can not find an any of them on the dell Web site, you can share links?

  I would recommend that you directly contact Dell sales in your area.

• PowerEdge RAID SSD Options

  Hello

  I want to create a configuration of server and storage, I would look at the below:

  • PERC H730P internal RAID, 2 GB of Cache NV controller
  • 2 x 200 GB SSD (RAID 1 for the OS)
  • 4 x 400 GB SSD (RAID 10)

  I've seen on these forums that this or similar configurations are supported and even saw a white paper on the Dell website where a 4 discs SSD RAID 10 has been used, but still my assigned comes to tell me that the SSDS in a RAID configuration is not "recommended" by Dell and are rather trying to sell me the solution of Cache of DAS of SanDisk.

  Looking for confirmation that I can use drives SSD in a RAID AND configuration has full Dell supported. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

  Hello

  What model of server are you watching? What OS you run on it? If you use valid Dell SSD, you shouldn't have a problem with this Setup. The controller supports the TRIM and should work fine in the RAID. If you use rank consumer SSD you can have problems.

• PowerEdge 2900 Perc 6 / i internal Raid Controller

  OK, so I use a server Dell PowerEdge 2900 with a PERC 6 / i integrated RAID controller

  I have configured the RAID array very well, installed Windows 2008 R2 and works fine and dandy

  The only problem I encounter is that, when starting the server (Post), I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  Thank you

  I get a message on the cable SAS B are not connected or misconfigured.  The bottom of the basket on my server, which goes to the internal drives, has only a port where I can plug a cable between the Perc 6 / i.  Where is the 2nd wire supposed to go?  I can't find the second port.

  PERC connector 0 goes to the bottom of basket. Connector on the PERC 1 connects to the modular Bay. If you don't have the module Bay optional then you ensure that you use the 0 on the PERC and not the connector 1.

• PowerEdge 860 - PERC RAID controller compatibility

  I would like to add RAID 1 functionality on a PowerEdge 860 server we have at the office.  I was unable to determine what is the Dell Reference number for the RAID controller for that server.

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?   Would the PERC 5 / i raid controller work?  If so, what model number of Dell is compatible.  As the PE860 has long been considered his retirement there is nothing from the Dell Web site.  Searching the Web I found not less of 6 different numbers of parts Dell for a PERC 5 / i controller.

  Thanks in advance if anyone can be useful.

  Hello Paolo

  PF100

  Is there a Dell RAID controller with BBU Cache memory which can support the PE860?

  No, the only supported the internal RAID controller is the SAS 5/IR. The SAS 5/iR has no cache. The PERC 5 / I is not supported on the 860. The only controllers that contain cache are external controllers as the PERC 5/e.

  You might be able to get a PERC 5 / i for work on the server, but we have not posted it to the 860. There is not many versions of the PERC 5 / i, which have been released, so I'm pretty confident that most or all of the part numbers you have found work. Whenever we change something on a part given a new part number. For example, if we decide to start using another antistatic bag to ship the PERC 5 / i in then we would give him a new part number.

  You can see here the valid controllers. The 860 is displayed on the inheritance tab:

• PowerEdge R910 Raid Controller version

  Hi all

  How can I check the version of RAID controller and the Drac version of linux? I'm looking to upgrade both.

  Thank you!

  Jbonpland,

  The best way to see both devices information would be to install OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) on the system, if it is impossible, the only way to get information from the Drac use IPMI tool and with the Raid Controller you will need to use something like MegaCLI.

  If you prefer to use OMSA download here - http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/index/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=C8V9M&fileId=3291475553&osCode=RH60&productCode=poweredge-r910&languageCode=EN&categoryId=SM

  Let me know how it goes.

• PowerEdge 2800 with 4/Di Raid Controller

  I lost inadvertently communication on my hard drive for the OS and Raid 5 data readers.  Currently I can not start the server and need assistance in getting to the top.  I installed 3 new drives to set up a backup and during the process, I've dethroned poor readers.  How can I determine which is the main OS drive and who are the 3 logical drives that are the data reader.  I guess I have to tell the server which drive is the boot drive, but a little shy gun now after this experience.

  Thank you

  Steve

  "I do my best to ensure that the information provided is accurate and I am very confident that it is."

  I believe you, but information is no not any sense, as planned.

  "I work from my phone and do not have Internet access to perform the procedure requested right now."

  It is perhaps the only way to get it online.

  "As long as the battery is concerned, I was told that when the battery is only one branch that it will release the current configuration and start cut line."

  It will not.  The RAID configuration is stored in a NON VOLATILE memory.  Disconnect the battery will clear the memory VOLATILE of the controller, which is used only for write cache.

  "Regarding the location of the reader, what the raid controller tells me.

  Just to clarify: the system EACH time it starts, when the charge controller, that none of the logical drives are found?  And there is no message indicating how you choose/use/save a configuration do not match?

  If you know disk 9 is your RAID 0, you can try power off, removal of all readers (hold that which), insert the diskette 9 on the slot 0, then start CTRL-m, configure, view/Add... If you are prompted to choose between the drives and the NVRAM, choose drive, then save to the output and try to start the operating system.

  If it does not, I would start thinking about data recovery or restore from a backup.

• The RAID on the PowerEdge T610 controller upgrade

  This system came with a SAS6/iR controller and after the installation of Server R2 2012 and with 32 GB of RAM it's on all fours, probably because we use software RAID 5. I want to upgrade RAID controller so that I can use hardware RAID 5. What controllers are compatible with the T610? I know that the H710 is eligible, but what about the H710P and the H810? We have a bottom of basket that holds 8 discs. Do we need anything else? I see that some people needed cables as well.

  PERC 6 / i and the H700 are validated for the T610. The Hx10 are 12 generation servers (like T620, T610 is 11G). H8x0 controllers are for external storage.

  Main differences between H700 or PERC 6:

  PERC 6 is 3Gbps, max disk 2 TB, 256 MB cache
  PERC H700 is cache cache/memory NVRAM 6Gpbs, TB + 2 disks, 512 MB or 1 GB

• Problem with RAID array after replacing defective RAID controller - Volume is currently in INACTIVE/GRADIENT condition

  We have a Dell PowerEdge 840, who had the RAID controller out yesterday - the system has come from a "ERROR!" Faulty card message.

  What should I do to rebuild the table and see the data? Apparently, the server crashed some time after the office closed last Friday, but before that backups ran, so that we have not backed up the data on Friday.

  Thank you

  Baskervi,

  Start the BIOS of the controller (CTRL-C)

  Select the controller

  This will bring you to the adapter properties window.

  Use the arrow keys to highlight and select Properties RAID, press on enter.

  This brings you to the window again select array Type, there is now an option to view existing matrix. Using the arrow keys, select view existing array,

  Select the Inactive matrix. Select manage the Array.

  The only options available is to activate the table or delete the table. In order to get this controller to accept the disk configuration, select Activate array by using the arrow keys to highlight, and then press ENTER.

  Confirm Activation.

  Return to the main menu and select SAS topology and check that the two tables are active.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Disk HARD/RAID controller not no projection in the State of health

  I've recently updated several ESXi 4.x hosts 5.1 and after the upgrade disks and the raid controller are showing is more in the section of the State of health of vSphere. The servers are all Dell PowerEdge 2950 and I even tried to make a fresh full install which did not help either. Here is a screenshot of the State of health of the problematic server. I need to get this resolved so that our monitoring solution can see the status of the disks/table.

  

  Here is a screenshot of an another PowerEdge 2950 still under 4.1 and it shows the disk controller and raid fine.

  

  Anyone seen this before? or have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Greg

  For any other person who comes through this, the problem is caused by ESXi 5.x is no longer handling/Bay record of voting in the same way as 4.x and earlier (see screenshots in an original message for comparisons). The only way to get the matrix of discs/fully new election is to have the ESXi host managed by vCenter (standalone no longer works). Hope this helps others as it was a big headache for me for awhile.

  You try to set the IP address of management through SMCIL or you use the serial cable to try & put the IP of management?  When you try to set the IP made it also allow you to set the IP address, subnet mask & gateway and then give you the error or it gives the error right after the address IP is implemented?

• New HARD drive not recognized by the SAS on PowerEdge T410 controller

  One of the drives has failed on my RAID 1 configuration, so I bought a non-certified dell, Seagate Barracuda 500 GB drive (other readers were 250 GB).

  I turned off the machine and swapped the failed drive with a new one (cable connections)

  When I boot in Sas (SAS 6 ir) controller, it shows that the disk is missing.

  I turned off the server and changed the cables from the primary to the new disk, to see if it would make a difference. None. Watch again ' driving status: missing.

  What I have to buy dell certified readers? I'm doing something wrong? Or is the obsolete RAID controller?

  Any help would be appreciated! My primary hardrive gives signs of failure. I have a picture of him, but I'd like to get it mirrored on my new record ASAP.

  Thank you

  Hello director87

  Go to the RAID properties > manage table > manage Hot Spare disks. You should see a list of all drives that detects the controller. Your RAID 1 drives will be listed as primary and secondary. The new drive should not be anything in the area of the 'State of the drive. Use the arrows to select the new disk and keys to assign it as a spare drive + /. After you assign it as a spare drive it should start to rebuild.

  If you don't see the drive in the list, then check the screen of the SAS topology. If you see in the SAS topology then use CTL D to shoot to the top of the additional options. Let me know if it will allow you to do something to the reader in this screen. If you don't see in SAS topology then it does not appear that the controller is able to communicate properly with this player.

  Thank you

• Cisco C240-M4SX / 12G SAS Embedded Raid Controller Queue depth Reporting resulting in ESXi 6.0

  All,

  We have been a customer of vSAN VMware 6.0 for the last 6 months of our environment entirely on servers of Cisco C240 M4SX with the Cisco 12 G SAS integrated Raid Controller.   Everything in the environment was working well until we started to bring in data warehouse loads in the environment and began to notice performance around latency of disk and most important issues still outstanding IO high.  After that ESXtop and ESXCFG examination we found that the length of the queue announced to the adapter ESXi has been only 234 however the VMware HCL Announces 895; 234 is below minimum spec of 256 to correctly implement vSAN.  We have worked diligently with VMware on it to try different versions certified and non certified driver async for this raid controller in addition to the most recent firmware for the raid controller.  Regardless of the change of the depth of the queue remained 234.  The presence of FBWC affect the depth of queue announced to the operating system?  VMware support has indicated that it is clearly a problem "hardware".  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

  Greetings.

  Had the chance to spend some time in the laboratory and removed the cache module.

  After that, I now get "207", so I would say it's confirmed that 1,2,4 GB cache modules are used to increase the depth/length of the queue for these controllers.
