T420 h310/H710

Please, I could do with a quick bit of advice.  I have a T420 with 8 bays, with 4 x 3 TB hard drive in a raid 5\ HW by PERC H310 (not a lot of data here) and 4 x 2 TB HARD drive full of data.  The 2 TB drives so far have been using pools of storage windows via windows essentials, there is no virtual machine on that server.

There is no return to the top of the data to any external storage. I know that before you say something more.

When I change the PERC for H310 to H710 raid 3 to 5 shows but I don't see that the pool of storage 2 TB in PERC or in the life cycle of dell and windows bios is fallijg to start. I can only imagine that the H710 dose not support JBOD here for windows can see no never it immobilized for priming.

So to solved this problem, I thought that maybe I could install the H710 on bus 6 from the motherboard (where its meant to be) and run half of the black plate with 3 TB disks in and then plug the H310 a second PCI - e and just so that I can transfer the data through while on windows run the other half on the black plate.

Don't you think that this will work only for a data transfer? also you re you timidly storage?

I have one still working on a budget to get more than 3 TB.

I could set up a second storage of some kind if I really have to, but it would take a lot of time to transfer data between two times and would therefore add no it if possible.

I'm just a home user with very little experience of dell servers, great curve of learning for me.

Thanks for your time on this in advance.

NotKnowingAnyThing,

You're right, the H710 does not support the configuration not RAID (JBOD); That's why the 2 TB of storage was not visible to Windows. Theoretically, the system does not support the 2 internal controllers, but they are known to work properly.

Based on the internal priority PCIe Slot RAID System 6,4,5,3,1; you need to install the controller H310 on slot (bus) 4. Before any connection, check in OMSA make sure that 2 channels background basket separately is connected to 2 TB and 3 TB of storage disks.

Let me know if you have any questions.

    Hello

    I try to install the SP1 of Windows 2008 R1 on T420. However, it does not detect the disk and asks me to load the Setup disk.

    Now, I downloaded the driver from: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=1HHG8&fileId=3389750350&osCode=WS8R2&productCode=poweredge-t420&languageCode=EN&categoryId=SF

    Put it on a key USB and then the wizard to detect the USB but then he said: 'no signed device drivers were found.

    Reading carefully above the driver download page, they mentioned the installation instructions, it is shown how to load the driver during installation.

    HOWEVER, the real problem lies here. These instructions are for a '. '. ZIP format"driver. Considering that, they provide only ".". EXE format"from the driver to download.

    So, regardless of teaching the highest page download driver to load the driver during the installation does not work.

    And I could not find where to download the '. '. ZIP format' driver.

    Could you help me please. What I'm missing here?

  • PowerEdge M620 AHCI

    Hi, I would like to use AHCI for a specific m620 blade, but I have select ahci BIOS and disable the integrated controller (h310) readers are not detected by the server.

    Is there another part that goes into the Groove of raid to have ahci?
    I couldn't find another thing but H310 H710 H710P so I wonder how is SATA AHCI possible?

    Hello

    You can not display using the chipset SATA controller allowing him everything simply. If you were previously using a H310 then the bottom of basket is connected to the H310. Backplane must be connected to the connector on the motherboard for the chipset controller see the SAS/SATA drives.

    In addition, the chipset supports SATA. SAS drives will not work if SAS backplane is connected to the system board. We have a background of SATA basket for the configuration that you try. If your system was ordered with a PERC, there from the SAS backplane. SAS is backward compatible with SATA, so I don't see a reason why backplane SAS would not work. It is not a supported configuration of.

    PS: I posted the same topic in the forum "Blade" by mistake. Apology.

    "Do you mean that if my BIOS/SATA configuration has been set to RAID 1 I should have drivers chipset/AHCI for a successful installation?"

    No, because you are not using the onboard SATA RAID - your built-in SATA is used ONLY by your optical drive, so it should not be in RAID and AHCI usually requires special drivers, which is not required when you use optical drives.  However, pilots of chipset/AHCI may have helped Windows to see the optical drive in such a way that the installation could proceed (if she needs the RAID controller for real hard disks, you will NOT see this particular message - you will see another message when Windows cannot find not all drives to be installed on).

    "When someone would set RAID 1 for sata configuration?"

    ONLY if you use the S110 RAID controller onboard.  You use the H310, so you don't want to mess with the SATA RAID on board.

    It is normal so he can make a full discharge of the battery as part of his learning cycle every 90 days. Make sure that this isn't that. If this isn't the case, the reason, give it 24 hours. If it is fully charged, update the system (including RAID firmware, driver first) firmware. If not fully charged yet or it reproduces quickly, then replace the battery - power down to replace.

  • upgrade to h710 h310

    Can I replace new card h710 without data backup?

    Thank you

    Hello dowchee

    It is always advisable to have a backup of your data in case there is a question in making the upgrade.  That being said, you should be able to change the H310 with the H710 and do an import of the configuration and everything should work perfectly.  But still I couldn't do that unless you had no way to back up your data.

  • Dell Perc H310 T420-compatible hard drives

    Hello experts,

    I have a server T420 with 8 Bay running 2 SATA 3 "switchable hot 5 Dell hard drives.  The controller is a Perc H310.

    I would like to know what kind of hard drives could be integrated into empty compartments. I would like to use non - Hot Swap as well to extend storage. Buy standard 3 "5 7200 RPM Sata Hard Drivies? Will it work?

    Thanks in advance. Appreciate your attention.

    Concerning

    Afreire,

    You can use enterprise class SATA disks up to 4 TB in the remaining locations. You will need to the carriers for the readers, even if they are non-RAID.   H310 controller supports the use of JBOD (just a bunch of disks) without having them in a RAID.   OpenManage them will see as non-RAID drives.

  • PERC H310 H710p migration

    Hello

    I'm not an expert in RAID configurations but I am in charge of server Dell T320 my company and we will replace the storage controller that comes with it (H310) with a PERC H710p. We have a configured RAID-1 and we will continue to use the two disks of same after migration. We will replace the controllers.

    I know I have to do a backup before you replace the Exchange, but we will lose the RAID-1 configuration and data (including the operating system) after migration? Or it will be transparent to the system after reboot?

    Where can I find a type of paper that could guide me through this process because I don't want to wreck anything.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    Jorge

    Hello.

    It is advisable to back up your data before performing any maintenance task. Ensure that you have a backup is valid data. The PERC H710 P supports the migration of virtual disk controller PERC H310. As a best practice, make sure that the hard drives and firmware H710 P is up to date. Replace the H310 and update the H710 P firmware with the controller cables disconnected from the background. Stop the server and connect the cables of the controller in the background and then restart.

    Your RAID configuration can be transparent to the system or appear in a foreign configuration. Clear the foreign configuration through the utility OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) or Ctrl + R for the POST.

    I would like to know how it works for you.
