• UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

  Hello

  I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

  I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
  I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
  I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

  When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
  I think that it is a driver problem.
  So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
  I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

  I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

  I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
  I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
  I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
  I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

  I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
  When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

  I test this on two Cisco server.

  I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

  I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

  Thank you very much.

  Stephane,

  For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

  -LSI 92xx

  -LSI 106xE

  -LSI 2008 M

  -INS 3081E-R

  -LSI8708EM2

  -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

  -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

  -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

  Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

  Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

  Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

  You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

  If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

• RAID configuration on sa120?

  Hello

  I have just purshcased a sa120, intedning to attach it to a dell poweredge server. the server running esxi, and I installed a map UCS-70 sas of dell for the connection. I want power raid that the sa120 disks in a couple of redundant disks, but the dell perc does not see the sas card or readers, even if the bios picks up the card.

  VMWare can see the cards and readers, if I start on the VCenter server in a virtual machine in the physical box, but he sees only 12 distinct disks.

  What I can do, or what do I need to RAID the readers in the sa120 together, to show that some records searched to esxi/vmware?

• Red hat ucs 220 M

  Hi all

  I would like to know if I can install Suse directly on a Cisco UCS 220 M?

  Thank you.

  424

  Greetings.

  As long as you use the level of required firmware (HUU) you should be able to run versions supported for SUSE.  Please see http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html HCL, to confirm the supported versions (11, 12).  You will also want to check versions of driver required for things like network cards, raid, CNAs controllers, etc..

  Thank you

• Qosmio G30-145: RAID1 is degraded - KRC RAID configuration error

  I made a few mistakes... I installed the German version recovery dvd OP and during the installation of my foolness I fact also (mirrored) HDD = HARD drive... something like that...

  Press a key to continue...
  end

  HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

  Hello

  Ok. You have changed the RAID settings in the BIOS.
  In my opinion, you can use the CD of restoration with the default RAID settings in the BIOS.
  I mean that the RAID driver on the recovery cd was preinstalled and you have changed the settings RAID in the BIOS for the recovery CD did not work properly.

  Do not mix the original Windows CD from Microsoft with the recovery CD. The CD-ROM of Microsoft the RAID driver is not, but on the recovery CD.

  I checked the Qosmio manual I found on the Toshiba site.
  If you want to install the original WinXP you must safe the RAID driver on the floppy.
  In addition the in table settings BIOS RAID, make sure that the built-in HDD is set to 1RAID-0.

  The RAID in the BIOS configuration settings are described as follows:
  JBOD - parameters without RAID, Windows cannot be installed on this drive except by using the recovery CD/DVDs.
  1RAID-0 - compatible set RAID. Windows can be installed on the drive
  2RAID-0 - 0 for 2 hard drives RAID set
  RAID 1 -RAID-1 set for 2 hard drives (current only)
  UNKNOW - State RAID except the State and settings (State only) above
  No. Drive - no hard drive connected

  If you accept the settings you must type a string: 1,2,3,4 then enter. At the end you must save all change in the BIOS.

  You have suggested that you have the German language. If you want to read the manual in English you can download it from the site.

• HP ENVY 750-170se: cannot access the RAID configuration via Ctrl + i on startup

  I activated the RAID in BIOS > Storage Options > SATA emulations.

  There are 2 drives HARD correspondents attached to the SATA 2 ports & 3.

  At startup the Intel Rapid Storage screen shows the two discs. It shows the prompt to hit "Ctrl + I" to enter setup.

  However: when I hit, stand or mash Ctrl + I, before, during and after the screen from the IRS, it never penetrates RAID installation.

  What keeps me to enter RAID configuration menu?

  Is there some SATA ports I need the HARD drive to be attached to the?

  Motherboard is the model 2B4B, verson A0.11 BIOS

  Based on this post I tried to use Intel Rapid Storage to make the RAID. TSRI was not installed/available in Windows so I donwloaded it... during the installation I was told there was a newer version already installed (which is weird because I couldn't access it).

  TSRI in Windows made the RAID volume. No need to enter during POST/boot.

• ThinkStation D20 - RAID configuration

  I read a lot of posts about the RAID configuration and again I am not having success.

  Current configuration

  Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

  1 TB WD SATA drive c. optical port (can boot from this drive / everything works)

  2 c. WD 500 GB SATA in RAID 1 & 2 Ports

  Have selected the two disks and configured for RAID 1.

  The volume is recognized in the BIOS boot order

  The Windows Device Manager sees tha RAID Controller but "cdsas09ws17" will not be installed. Have let it search the net for an alternative, but no luck.

  Stayed in this part of the day. Could use a little help.

  * Update

  Update BIOS

  Updated device driver "cdsas09ws17".

  Next steps... Install the operating system on it.

  So, I was able to use RAID1 disk through windows 7 installed on SATA port. I feel good at this point. I have then unplug the SATA drive and start a new installation. Windows will ask the device driver, I point to the USB key containing "CDAS09WS17" and I get a "device signed drivers found.» How can I fix that?

  Who would have thunk: Note that for 64 bit you must point to the amd64 folder. Installed!

• XW4600: RAID Configuration

  Hi, I have a XW4600 workstation with a hard disk of 500 GB.  The technical specifications of the workstation seems to suggest that it can work with a RAID configuration.

  This is why I would like to add a second hard drive and install RAID for the purposes of resilience as the workstation is used for important purposes.

  Couple of questions about it.   First, the RAID can be installed on this workstation?  Secondly, I know that I have to buy another hard drive with at least the same capacity, but don't I need to buy the part of HP number of hard disk or any disk hard do?  And finally, is it simple enough installation?

  Thanks in advance for any help offered.

  Please visit the two web links provided below:

  1.) this is for configuring SATA RAID on the HP xw4600:

  http://saw.CCE.HP.com/km/saw/view.do?docid=emr_na-c01330263&HSID=65138786&sz=293840

  2.) HP Workstation xw4600 - devices SATA RAID configuration:

  http://saw.CCE.HP.com/km/saw/view.do?docid=emr_na-c01187582&HSID=65138786&sz=12073

  And YES, you can configure RAID in your unit, both HARD disks must be the same SIZE, speed (RPM) because its recommended for optimal performance.

  Please buy similar brand of HARD drive because it depends also manufacturers and their compatibility.

• the z820 RAID configuration problem

  Hello

  I have a newly opened (running the BIOS 3.52) z820 workstation. I would get my RAID configuration Setup program, but I have problems following the steps in the maintenance and Service guide:

  http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03424977-1.PDF

  More specifically, in the section "Setting up system BIOS", after confirming the RAID + AHCI is defined for the SATA Mode and Post Messages are enabled, then step 4 says that enable 'SATA RAID Option ROM download. There is none of these items under Device Options. I don't see "SAS Option ROM download", which is already activated.

  In addition, after leaving the BIOS settings, there is no CTRL + C or CTRL + I, option to enter RAID settings...

  Indeed, I checked that there are two drives running on the machine...

  Anyone know what is happening?

  Thank you

  Oh and pass a legacy just for test purposes - unless you have already done.

• RAID 0 for a RAID configuration not "this computer's hardware may not supported booting from this drive.

  I want to install a new HARD drive in a tower of the mine to a friend. It was initially created as a RAID 0 configuration with two 160 GB HDD. The replacement is a single 1 TB of HARD drive. I get the message "this computer's hardware may not supported booting to this disk.» Am I missing an approach from a RAID 0 for a RAID configuration, no?

  Hi RegularPencils,

  I suggest that you check in the basic input/output system (BIOS), if you find an option to disable the RAID. If you find, disable the RAID and try to install Windows vista, check if it helps.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that contains multiple RAW hard disks: "Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation.

• A general question on installing Windows 7 and RAID configuration

  I have an OEM Windows XP machine. His HD system consists of two physical disks connected during a RAID 0 configuration. The RAID has been initially configured in the BIOS (and maybe an extra chip), and then there are the drivers included in the installer of the OS.

  My question is: if I install Windows 7 from scratch on this machine (i.e. not updated from XP) the installation process would allow me to configure the RAID? Has its own generic drivers for RAID configurations?

  You will appreciate a response from a really knowledgeable person.

  See the following topics:

  Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Click on load a driver

  Point to a USB key where you have stored drivers

• Replacement of 1064 LSI RAID

  Good afternoon!

  We had a brief problem with a RAID 10 that contains the ESXi installation on one of our servers C210 M2.  VMware has "lost" the volume of ESXi.  A restart of the host brought the RAID online, but management had me buy a spare mezzanine on the tray card.  We tested it during an upgrade to ESXi and the card did not react as expected.  We relied on this document to help us replace the RAID.

  When we put the map on the server, we expect the card to show and to ask questions about a foreign configuration.  The documentation says that when we saw that to apply the card to import the configuration and to present the RAID set to the operating system.  Card claimed instead it is 'inactive' and verify the configuration by pressing Control-C.  We did it, but since we were on a schedule to upgrade reinsert us the old card RAID, hit the string initialization and then with the upgrade.

  The map has been identified by the server and had an update of the firmware to the revision of the 1.4(3x), so I don't think that the card is DOA - I think missing a step or to look for a different document for this card.

  My question is about the answer when this card is replaced.  That we will be able to replace the mezzanine card and restore the RAID configuration or do we need to plan to rebuild the RAID config in case of failure of the card?  If we replace and restore what step is missing to import safe RAID configuration so that the mirror breaking and BONE don't freak?

  Thanks for all the research!

  Gregg

  Hey Gregg,.

  I checked for some cases of TAC with the same error that your report server, and for all cases, replace the controller raid solved the problem.   I recommend you to prosecute with TAC to review the papers or see if you can get the card replaced.

• Supermicro onboard Intel and Adaptec RAID configuration unrecognized in ESXi 5.5 U2

  Hi, I have a supermicro X7DAL-E r1.1b motherboard has integrated Intel and Adaptec sata raid controllers. To enable raid controllers, I go into the BIOS and enable the raid configuration for intel or adaptec. I tried two raid controllers and created a configuration raid 5 by going through the bios of each controller. However, when I start to go through the process of installing ESXi 5.5 U2, I see not a logical drive, all I see are hard drives that I thought were configured as a logical drive in raid 5.

  I know that I am using an old motherboard which is not on the HCL, but I just haven't the money to spend on equipment. I really want to make it work if possible. I tried to download ESXi 4 but it is no longer available . I understand I tried to use an older version to see if it contains the necessary drivers for it work and attempt to port these drivers in ESXI 5.5.

  I was wondering if someone actually got this similar problem with supermicro Board and whether a solution or workaround has been found in which ESXi 5 can recognize the raid configuration? If this is impossible, it can't be done, that's what it is. I'll deal with it or put in place.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Not sure about this 'r1.1b' version, but original X7DAL-E has no onboard hardware raid controller. What he has is i5000 chipset, which offers the raid software-(aka bios-, faux-, etc.). This is not supported by ESXi (for very good reasons). And even if it were, no cache, you would get terrible performance...
