The RAID controller compatibility

• Install the raid controller during the installation of ESXi5

  Hello

  Today, we plan to install ESXi5 on our server.

  We had no problems during the installation of ESX4.1 as he ask custom drivers when it starts.

  But ESXi5.0.0 does not ask for the installation of the custom driver and we cannot install raid controller driver!

  I do not know how to resolve this so I wanted to know is possible to install the raid controller?

  Thanks in advance.

  I know I ask too many questions, but I know a little bit about it.

  No problem, that's what the forum is done

  Now should after you download the Image how I use it?

  Burn the image to a CD and run the installation from the bootable CD. Remember, though, that the image is usable only for new installations, not for upgrades (see release notes).

• 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:

• ESX4i does not see the RAID controller card

  I install the ESX4 and the ESXi4. Considering that ESX sess card RAID controller, ESXi4 will not work. I was wondering if there was a solution to this?

  Memory I don't remember ESXi4 support adding additional drivers (unlike ESX4 Installer) but I was wondering if I climbed to U1 ESX4i, that would help. Or is just "not supported"?

  My problem has been resolved by the way of the ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.0 Update 1... which includes a driver update...

  I managed to ESXi in order to run from a USB key on the servers, but found the previous day, and DPM mode did not work properley. While he was going to suspend the ESX box very well, the machine just and seems to lose its settings to boot PXE boot - regardless of what I did with the BIOS...

  I found ESX4i U1 to install on the physical disk is more reliable...

• General on the raid controller and hardware

  Hello

  I have that the hard disk controller or controller raid (0,1,5) does not work on a computer, if I add hollow PCI slot a wil raid controller or hardware, computer, or the raid not works normally?

  Johan

  Hi Johan,.

  Thanks for posting on Microsoft Community Forums.

  Ideally it is dependent on the PCI slot you use, if the PCI slot supports the hard disk controllers and RAID controllers so it will work with the computer. Almost all modern PCI slots supports the hard disk controllers and RAID controllers.

• Insertion/thanks to the RAID controller plug in PCIe card in a UCS C220 M3, rather than embeded RAID controller?

  Hello!!

  We have a UCS C220 M3 server with a 1 TB SAS hard drive and a controller RAID embeded, like this:

  1	UCS-HDD1TI2F212	1 TB SAS 7.2 K rpm 3.5 inch HDD/hot plug/disc horse sleigh
  1	UCSC-RAID-ROM15	Embedded SW RAID 0, 1, 10, 5, 4 SAS/SATA ports

  If I add this controller RAID PCI card to my UCS server:

  UCS-RAID-9266CV =

  MegaRAID 9266CV-8i w/TFM + Super CAP

  US $ 1,686.00

  Going to work with her, ignoring the old RAID embeded it configured?

  The question is that VMWARE is not supported controllers shipped my RAID, so I want to add an external RAID PCI controller to support VMWARE.

  I don't know if it will work.

  Thank you!!

  Rodrigo,

  The embeded controller is built and not removable, it is integrated into each C220/C240. The units are designed to operate with PCIe controllers and mezzanine table when it is properly configured.

  Once you install the controller of the SIPC, you will need to do the following:

  (1) move the conectors mini SAS to the motherboard in the LSI PCIe controller

  (2) make sure that the slot PCIe what optionrom is enabled in the BIOS. (newer systems have their OptionROM disabled in the uninhabited slots (from the factory). If you do not see the OptionROM for the POST, then go back into the BIOS and enable the slot PCIe OptionROM

  (3) while you are in the BIOS, you can thus turn off Patsburg UCS regulatory table (the table embeded). It is of no use at this stage that you removed the cables up to the HARD drive Bay. It is also misleading if left active, you will see the configuration of arrays of LSI utility appear twice during POST. Time for the embeded and once again for the PCIe LSI controller.

• Signature LUN after replacement of the RAID controller

  I have the following scenario:

  I had a Cisco UCS server with an LSI controller. I needed to replace the controller to another, the same form, different model.

  I've done the replacement physical, powered on the server. ESXi starts fine, but no data store appears. Data warehouses are on the local hard drive. There is no remote storage.

  When I try to add the data store, I had 2 options of mainly:

  -Keep the existing signature

  -A new signature assing.

  I'm sure both will work, and I'd go with the first.

  However, I would like to know what impact the selection of one of these options. Similar cases, I will, will that be the best since I'm on a new material for RAID controller?

  Or would it not matter at all if I keep the same signature?

  I have beenr of reading on these 2 options, and for local storage, they do not seem to make any difference, but would like to know any other thoughts.

  I kinda fear Award for a new signature.

  Thank you.

  Due to the replacement of the controller, the ESXi host now recognizes the LUN as a snapshot LUN, it contains a signature known, but it is presented to another controller. Given that you can ensure that the logic unit number is unique, I don't see a requirement for resignaturing it.

• Disable the RAID controller driver

  Hello

  Please correct me the below script, I need to disable this driver "lsi_mr3" to solve the problem of OS freeze on cisco UCS M4 blades.

  https://Tools.Cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCut37134

  a set of module system - active = false - module = lsi_mr3 esxcli

  $esx = Get-VMHost -Name 10.50.67.124

  $esxcli.system.module.parameters.set($false,$false,"lsi_mr3")
  $esxcli.system.module.list() |where {$_.Name -eq "lsi_mr3"}
  
  

  Try with this line

  $esxcli.system.module.set ($false, $false, "lsi_mr3")

• How do I know what RAID controller works the box?

  Using the VMware Compatibility Guide, how do I know what RAID controller works out of the box (no installation necessary driver, no action necessary special) for 5.5 ESXi update 2?

  PS - I initially assumed that if they appear then they work OOB, but there is nothing on the page registration or landing pages of the device that makes this clear.

  Once you click the RAID controller in the HCL, you will see all the supported versions of ESXi with the appropriate driver listed as "inbox" or async". There may be more driver for a specific version, but if one of them is stated as "inbox", it is supposed to work out of the box.

• 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.

• Qosmio F50 series contains RAID controller?

  Hello

  I am looking for a new computer laptop Toshiba and understood on this forum that Satellite P300 series does not have a RAID controller :-(
  To make it short: did the series Qosmio F50 got a RAID Controller? Is it possible to rotate the 2 HDD in RAID 0?

  Hello

  > Qosmio F50 series you have a RAID controller?

  No, as I know the Qosmio F50 series doesn t supports the RAID controller.
  It supports a simple SATA controller but not the RAID and so you cannot use RAID-0.

  Good bye

• Cannot access the raid config in the BIOS on m8330f

  Recently given a m8330f to see if I could fix it.  much to my surprise, I find that it was originally built with two 320 GB drives in raid 0.  My thoughts on this side, I can't find how to access the raid controller in the bios to make changes.

  The RAID was already broken when I received it.  IM thinking its a nforce2 chipset and I used to have a Board with this chipset on it and it was pretty obvious where the raid utility.

  can someone help me?  can someone also as a side note, explane to me what thought HP sells a Computer Configuration with RAID 0 out of the box?

  Hello

  I can't tell what thought HP during the implementation of RAID for CTO models , using the card mother NARRA3 was released.  Review the image below.

  Hello TangIT,

  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?
