• UCS C200 RAID solution

  Hello

  I hope for your help about the technical question about the RAID.

  We bought a server in a rack of Cisco UCS C200. Now I looking for information on the best RAID solution in our case.

  The question:

  As I understand it, there is an integrated RAID solution: Intel ICH10R in UCS C200 server. We use this RAID configuration now and it works OK. However, we wonder if it is worth installing the PCIe controller (we have HP Smart Array P410 (ATA/dis2) card). We use currently 4 SATA and RAID drives works as expected, but we are interested in, if there are all the advantages of the separate RAID controller card. Above all, we are interested of performance benefits as we plan to have a lot of disk writes (records call - about 10-20 calls per hour, lasting 2 minutes on average). We would be happy to stay with RAID integrated if it works stable. On the other hand, we will install the above mentioned Intel RAID card if you say that it would be the best solution about the reliability and wear of the disc.

  I would be grateful for any comments.

  Kind regards

  Vytas

  Vytas,

  Your question is probably down to RAID levels supported for each card.  The performance of each should be relavitley the same, so I would not concentrate on that.

  The only supported RAID controllers are listed here and must be purchased from Cisco:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/unified_computing/UCS/c/HW/C200M1/install/RAID.html#wp1015625

  "Others' work, but you'd be yourself if you encountered problems with TAC.

  The integrated Intel ICH10R card supports up to four SATA using RAID0 (striped) or RAID1 (mirror) drives.

  If you need one RAID5, 10 or more, then you must a MegaRAID controller to do.

  All RAID controllers provided by Cisco are heavily on trial and could be your best option for reliability and performance.

• Replacing hard drive RAID 10 (UCS-C200-M2)

  Guys,

  I'm running RAID10 on UCS C200 M2 and exchanged one of the defective drive.

  Currently, there is beep for more than 12 hours and I guess that the new drive is under reconstruction at the moment.

  In addition, physical drive status is currently on "not well configured" on CIMC. The status changes to "online" after

  the reconstruction end? Will be required reboot when the rebuild is complete?

  Please advice.

  Hello

  If the State of the reader to not configured well. You will need access to the Webbios to change online status and allow reconstruction to be undertaken.

  You will find here all the information required to set the drive to the State once again

• UCS C200 M2 could not start

  Hi all

  My Cisco UCS C200 could not start. Once checked, I found that the problem is the raid controller, the card may not work properly.

  the type of raid used controller is LSI MegaRAID 9260-4i

  can I replace this controller card with different types such as LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i

  If can, what should I do? are there concerns?

  Thank you for your kindness

  That should be fine.  See the documentation of the TA on the exact process of swapping the controller, but since they are of the same generation, just different port internal account (4 vs 8) and all RAID information is stored on the discs themselves, you should have no problem exchange controllers and imports of table on the new controller.  Once swap you controllers, host of startup, enter the optional ROM of LSI and check if the table is waiting for import (if she is not the automatic import).

  Kind regards

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

  Hello

  No, the Satellite L505-h-13 doesn't support 3G module.

  I guess as some models of the Satellite L500 / L505 series was equipped with the 3G module.
  The fact is that the same bottom cover has been used in the entire series L500 and is why there is a slot for SIM under the battery.

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• R420 chassis due heating controller raid card

  Hello

  We bought 6 Indian dell servers.

  We are facing a problem of severe heat on top of the chassis above the card raid with all these 6 servers.

  the server configuration

  R420 - hexcore single processor 2.2 ghz, 32 GB ram

  Readers 4 x 600 GB 15000 rpm
  (configured as 2 drives in raid 1 + 2 drives in raid 1)

  These servers are placed in a data center - the temperature is around 18 degrees C

  We are facing a severe heating up on problem of the chasiss just above the raid controller

  When the servers are placed one above the other as they are usually placed in a datacenter of the servers heat up between 50, 4-57 degrees celcius

  Support Dell changed the motherboard, raid card, power supply etc. of one of the above servers which is off-production (heating to 50.4 degrees Celsius), but the problem is not resolved

  Thorough review of the raid controller card, I noted that the fins of the radiator on top of map of raid controller - instead of being parallel to the open air is actually perpendicular to the flow of air and is actually trap heat

  the same card in a r.620 server has the fins of the heatsink in parallel to the air flow which remains cool

  has someone else in this forum has noted this and are facing such a heating problem?

  could you please check this and let me know the resolution of this problem

  the heatsink orientation of 90 degrees so that the fins of the radiator are parallel in the open air?

  Thanks for your help

  the dset report displays normal temperatures since it measures the temperature at the entrance (26-28 degrees C) and the temperature of the cpu (57-62 ° c).

  The server works as expected. There is nothing to fix. This has been reported before, and we investigated it. Our generation servers 12 had a massive overhaul with thermal and acoustic design. For this reason, the chassis can become hot to the touch at the back of the system, but it poses no risk to the system components.

  You can change the default fan control to increase the airflow and reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases, but this will increase the use of sound and electricity. Go to the iDRAC - iDRAC settings > thermal. Change the user Option to compensate for fan speed and set the offset of the fan speed to compensate for high fan speed.

  Thank you

  Regarding issue 1: it could be this new firmware is already installed.

  Look at page 3 of the release notes (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/content_security/RAID _...)

  After running the update of the firmware, the firmware upgrade package appears in the list of available upgrades even after a successful installation. The presence of this package does not indicate a failure of the upgrade.

  To verify that the upgrade is running correctly, you can run the upgrade script again after the machine has restarted. If the upgrade was successful, the upgrade script indicates that the device does not require the upgrade
   
  Regarding your second question: the software upgrade:
  -you have an internet connection for update servers (the upstream proxy settings check maybe..)
  -What is your version of the software running (did you check upgrade)? Maybe you should first upgrade to 753 or some other version...
  -Maybe the reboot will solve the problem?
   

• UCS C200 and NIC Teaming/FailOver

  As UCS C200 with management of a 10/100 and 10/100/two interface 1000 interfaces and PCIe with 4NIC

  I want to install CUCM 8.5 is the NIC Teaming/failover supported by UCS C200 and how to set up the NIC Managment interface with failover?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  As you install apps from the CPU on the server of the UCS, speech application team listed their recommendations here.

  http://docwiki.Cisco.com/wiki/QoS_Design_Considerations_for_Virtual_UC_with_UCS#Guidelines_for_Physical_LAN_Links.2C_Trunking_and_Traffic_Sizing

  You can create a NIC teaming in the ESXi via vSphere client software for traffic from from / destined for virtual machines.

  For C200, we have only one management port and if you use the management for MMIC traffic port, switch option is not available.

  However, if you choose to use host for MMIC traffic NETWORK ports, you can set up CIMC NIC mode for 'LOM shared' which provides the NIC teaming options.

• UCS C200 Server Power Supply Question

  We make some changes in our data center and which involves electric grid.  We had to replace our Dustribution of power rack and to respond to the charge, we moved 208V, 3 phase power distribution.  Read the literature, I see that the power supply to the UCS C200 servers can operate 115V to 230V AC.

  My questions are: is it everything I have on power supply from 120V AC 208 v power supply power supply power supply?  Can I have a power running at 120 v and the other operating at 208V?  I try to avoid the closure of the server.

• UCS C220 M3 raid 6

  Hello

  I have a UCS C220 M3 server. with 8 drives in it. I will install only CUCM and unity on this server. (4K users).

  The server comes without the RAID configuration.

  Cisco recommends RAID 5. I hoped to use a RAID 6.
  The space is reduced from 1.9 to 1.6.

  Could there be any other problem when using RAID 6 on this server?

  Hi jcontreras,

  You want to make sure you follow the recommendations of Cisco to continue to get the support of TAC in case you encounter any problems with your implementation.
