• Unable to update firmware for the PERC 5 controller / i on PE1950

  We have 6 PE1950 server with SAS PERC 5 / i integrated RAID controllers. Dell OpenManage complains about being obsolete PERC firmware. 2 servers I currently have running, firmware 5.2.1 - 0062 and 5.1.1 - 0040. I downloaded the latest version of 5.2.2 - 0072. I tried the update by the Windows package and who did not, and he complain about the OS being too recent. A server is Windows Server 2008 R2 and the other Windows Server R2 2012. So, I created a BACK USB key with Dell hard drive files and run update.bat. Who failed on both servers with the following errors:

  Firmware doesn't have flash. Stop!

  Failed to update Firmware for controller 0

  The process of updating of the firmware of the controller does not have!

  Both servers had the exact same mistakes as described above. Ideas on how I can get the firmware update successfully? I checked the package I downloaded is for the PERC 5 / I integrated.

  It's here (if that will allow me to post a link):

  Hello

  Try this updated version and see if it works. He said that it was for the 1950s.

• PERC S300 and R2 2012

  Hi, I saw some documents last year which says that Dell does not intend to create a driver for use with the Perc S300 and R2 for Windows Server 2012. This situation is even position? If Yes, what is the best option for my brand new PowerEdge R210 II? I would rather use hardware RAID than software RAID on what happens to be a domain controller. The server has two installation disks in a RAID 1 array. Any help, suggestions and advice are welcome. Thank you!

• PERC S300 degraded, but all the players are fine and running

  PowerEdge T310 with 4 drive PERC S300.

  3 drives in RAID 5, this is defined as a spare

  RAID management (boot pre-W2K8) PERC S300 reporting "Degraded(R/W)."

  All the three RAID drives are reporting "online".

  The spare wheel reports 'spare '.

  Green lights on all four physical disks in the Bay.

  Is this a software problem? Firmware?

  Suggestions of help appreciated!

  Best,

  Hello James

  I suggest you check the OpenManage Server Administrator alert logs. There is probably an error that tells you what the problem is. Also, the S100/S300 does not remove status of spare of a drive when it is used in a table. I would like to remove the hot spare to check if it shows a different status. He should go to the ready state.

  If you find an error with one of the disks in the alert log drive should probably be replaced. I also recommend that you make sure that the firmware, driver, and OMSA S300 are all up to date.

  Thank you

• Looking to replace a RAID in older (UCS-61) with a new (UCP-51) Perc 5i controller on a PowerEdge r610 server...

  Hello world

  I'm looking to get RAID 5 in an old R610 capabilities we have laying around. The new controller seems to be compatible with the server and he knows well. Whenever I start the server with the new Perc 5i card it gives me:

  "Invalid pcie card found in the internal storage location.

  System stopped! »

  Is there a step in this process I am missing? This is my first time doing something like this and get beat. If I put the old controller to back in or no controller at all, it starts without a problem. I've updated the BIOS BIOS server Dell R610 version 6.4.0.

  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  The PERC 5 is not supported on the R610.  You need the PERC 6 / i.  The PERC 5 might work, but you cannot use it in the location of storage dedicated; you will need to try another location PCIe.

• SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

  We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

  Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

  htc2010

  is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

  In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

• DELL perc h700 battery replacement, please help

  1. where to buy, and what exact model battery... is there a link please if you :)

  2. how to replace it? a guide to how to do it.
  Needs a power Server? Or can you replace it while the server is running?

  3. If I replace it, do I lose my config, configuration raid and other things, as if you take the bios battery, you lose all the config...?

  Thank you, hoping that someone will help me out here, its my first time changing battery...

  BrownGhostDK,

  You can go to Dell.com site and search for the part number 312-0448. This is the same kit for the Perc 5.6. and h700.

  To replace it, you will need to turn off the server and unplug the power cord, then hold the power button to drain flea power. After that then just remove and replace the battery. Power back up normally. The configuration is stored in the controller and will not be lost by replacing the battery. The main role of batteries is to provide the power required to save the data from the cache when the server goes down.

  I would like to know if that helps...

• PERC S300 RAID10 Drive upgrade Question

  I currently have 4x250GB HARD drives in a PERC S300 on a PE T110.  It works fine but I really want to upgrade to SSD because they are becoming so cheap.  However, when I was in RAID5, it requires that any replacement of disks are of equal size or greater, even if the actual volume was a fraction of the available space.  Is this the same requirement on the S300 for RAID10?

  Yes, it's necessary. In addition, you cannot mix SAS and SATA and SSD, SATA or SAS, SSD, so you will need to do a backup/restore of your SSD barrette.

• PowerEdge R310 Perc S300 Raid 10

  I'm trying to set up a PowerEdge R310 with a Perc S300 and 4 x 2 TB drives and raid 10 server r2 2012.

  I set up the raid 10 by pressing the R command during startup.  It implements the fine.  I then put in my dvd openmanage systems management and run the installer.  This is where the problem begins.  with all the 4 - 2 TB drives and raid 10, I should have 4 TB of hard drive space, and it is only showing 2 TB.

  I canceled the installation, rebooted and changed the UEFI BIOS.  the problem here is with the UEFI boot, server does not start on a dvd, instead, it starts directly to flash disk (this is where the BONE is).  It works fine too, but at the beginning of the installation, he said: "we have found all the readers" and it wants me to install the drivers.  I sail to openmanage dvd and can not find the drivers.

  once more I cancel the installation.  I switch back to normal UEFI bios, openmanage dvd start and try and reconfigure raid of openmanage.  everything sets up very well, but in the end of the process when it prepares the files, it gives me an error saying ' deployment failed due to: Boot controller culd details can not be retrieved ", and my only option is to restart.

  I reboot and start all over again.

  My only option so far is to install NO UEFI and don't have 2 TB of hard drive space, but I really want to use all 4 to.

  Help, please!

  The OpenManage DVD has no drivers in the format you need for use during a manual of OS installation - you need to get them from the support.dell.com site (or ftp.dell.com - you need the hard / ZPE file version).

  Have you checked the UEFI boot options? You should be able to boot from a DVD using the UEFI. And what do you mean that you can start only "directly to the flash drive? If you can start on a flashdrive in UEFI mode, then why not install Windows from a flash drive? And what do you mean "this is where the BONE is?

• ESXi 4.0 does support PERC S300 on a Dell PoweEdge T310?

  I recently bought a Dell PowerEdge T310 with a PERC S300 with 3 500 GB HDs for RAID 5. I tried to install VMWare ESXi 4.0 with customization of Dell, but has been unable to act. Installation failed message appeared indicating the system is not the supported device to write the image.

  Can you confirm that Dell ESXi 4.0 or 4.0 with 1 update supports PERC S300? Do I have to return the server, get a PERC 6i controller? Thank you.

  A piece of information of Dell said that it is a software RAID device and therefore not supported RAID in any version of ESXi. You can use as only 3 separate disks. I try to disable the features of RAID if possible and see what happens. If the RAID is a requirement, it seems that you must upgrade to a PERC 5 or 6.

• How to disable integrated PERC S300 controllers and connect hard drives directly onboard SATA

  Hello

  I bought new servers, two of them came with PERC S300 controllers. When I tried to install Linux (CentOS) on this subject, the system could not see the RAID!

  After some research, I noticed that it is Windows specific (fake RAID)

  I want to disable this controller and connect my hard drives directly to the main card SATA connectors and implement a software RAID under Linux.

  What I need is:

  What cables I need to order for this?

  Thank you

  When I picked my servers and decided on their specifications, this note (red) was not on the site, and I am sure about that because I have not all Windows servers on my network.

  Now that I ordered and received them, I'm looking for a solution.

  I ordered this kit: Dell PowerEdge HDD DATA CABLE KIT DP/N C450M CN-0C450M

  

  I will receive next week. I hope that this will help me get around this annoying problem.

• What cables to use in the Dell r610 with the perc 6 / i

  So I bought my r610 as a system of bairbones so it is come with a controller raid or processors/readers. I got everything I need, except for substantive cable basket. Some came with my perc 6 / i, but the cables are for another similar server (they aren't the right length). Only cables that I found are $ 100 that I find shocking. Is there somewhere else I should look at / is there a certain type of cable for this server and to a certain length? Thank you!

  Cloveh,

  The cable that you would need for the Perc 6 / I'd be part # RF5PF for SAS 0 and room FTTNX for SAS 1 side. Let me know if it helps.

• How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

  Hello

  I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

  I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

  -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

  . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

  is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

  Thank you

  Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

  If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

  Hard drives fail for two reasons...

  1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
  2. The spindle motor breaks down.

  The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

  Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

  If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...
