  Hello

  For these servers, you can use the Mmic kvm, but you must first configure the Mmic on this server. See documentation below.

• 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.

• UCS C220 M3 with MegaRAID 9266-8i - degraded cache

  Hello

  I have a C220 M3 of 1.5.1g BIOS and firmware 1.5.1f MMIC UCS.

  There is a controller LSI MegaRaid 9266-8i (Firmware 23.9.0 - 0023) Super-cap inside.

  MMIC know that the virtual drive has a moderate faulted state, cache is degraded and capacitance is at 0%. The current cache policy is on direct Scripture instead of the configured return entry.

  What is a Cisco TAC case?

  

  

  Juergen,

  Open a TAC case to replace the SuperCap module, you can even refer to this thread to make the process faster

• UCS 220 M3 LSI raid configuration

  Hi all

  Really struggling here set up our disks/RAID on our server.

  We ordered with the lsi megaraid 9271-8i.

  By reading the documentation (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/ins...) it seems that we should have to use the following:

  UCS in disabled bios - done.

  Then set up the RAID, we want with the disks we want (we have 8) you should get a prompt after post Ctrl + M

  I never see this message?

  I even went through the process of post whole spamming Ctrl + M without seeing any kind of raid configuration options.

  Something I am doing wrong?

  Appreciate any advice.

  In your config file in the BIOS ("Advanced" tab) in the MMIC, confirm that you have "Option ROM' enabled for the PCIe slot where the RAID controller is installed and disable all others, go into BIOS and confirm that the integrated RAID controller is disabled and then reboot the server... Once you see the list of disks during POST, press Ctrl +H, Ctrl + M is the integrated RAID controller. (The controller form factor of mezz is Ctrl + C, as explained here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C200M1/i...)

  HTH, let me know,

• Get the error code 10 - LSI MegaRaid SAS 9261-8i device cannot start.

  How can I solve my problem of storage controllers? Get an error message stating: LSI MegaRaid SAS 9261-8i - device may not start (code 10)

  Looking at the web site of LSI, I see that they have released a driver updated on 8/10.  You should probably download and install it.  Here is the first part of the file read me for it:

• ESXi 5.0.0 not recognizing a RAID Volume on LSI MegaRAID.

  Hello

  It is possible that the optionROM for the integrated card is not activated.  Try to enable it in the BIOS, you can via the MMIC (see cimc_enable_optionrom) must attached. You also want to verify that this option gets enable in the bios.
  You can enter the bios by pressing f2 during boot (see BIOS_Option_ROM)

• LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i for vmware vsa

  Hello world

  I have a hardware vendor build 3 5.1 production esxi hosts based on Asus RS700-E7 with 32 GB of ram each.

  They will support up to 24 vm in an environment of low IOPS / s.

  They will run the VSA for vmware appliance in raid 10 on the sata drives.

  The seller offers the LSI 9260-4i Megarid. I'm not sure.

  What LSI Megaraid controller recommended by those who have used them in the past for vmware VSA?

  I am also looking at the LSI Megaraid SAS 9271-4i. Whichever is faster on vsa for vmware using WD drives and raid 10.

  I use 4 drives per host, so I'm also cureous why some people use 8i controllers.

  Thanks in advance.

  I actually went with SAS 15 k drives in raid 5. I already answered my own question on the raid controller, so I'll mark this as answered. Thank you.

• Problems with LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i and ESXi 4.1

  Hello

  It's my first dappled in virtualization and got everything works pretty well for me except for one thing: esxi 4.1 does not allow me to use all the storage I allocated on my table of RAID5 on my LSI MegaRaid 9260-8i card. When I go in the vSphere client and try to create a data store, it recognizes the 2.73 TB logical drive except when it creates it is only 739,5 GB in size. Am I missing something here? I can't expand it, and it doesn't seem to be running from one of the physical disks, I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate the problem.

  Thanks for any help in advance!

  You create scopes of 2T and assemble them.

  I had to do this:

  localhost > /c4 set autocarve = on

  localhost > / c4 add type = disk = 0-3 name = RAID0 raid0

  localhost > / c4/u0 show

  Unit status % RCmpl %V/I/M VPort UnitType band Size (GB)
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  U0 RAID-0 OK - 256K 5587.89
  U0-0 DISK OK - p0 - 1396.97
  U0-1 DISK OK - p1 - 1396.97
  U0-2 DISK OK - p2 - 1396.97
  U0-3 DISK OK - p3 - 1396.97
  U0/v0 Volume - 2048
  U0/v1 Volume - 2048
  U0/v2 Volume - 1491.89

  Then you can create the data store by using three volumes.  Create it with the first, and then increase with the other two.

• LSI MegaRAID Storage Manager and Dell PERC cards?

  Hi all

  I have a Dell PERC 6 / i in my whitebox ESXi 4 server and I seem to be missing some options when connecting to it via the LSI MegaRAID 2.91 Storage Manager - 05. Basically, it seems the only operation I can do is take the disks offline. I have no option to create tables, add/remove disks in bays or change RAID levels.

  I can do all these things from the BIOS, this is obviously not the card. I had a glance the BIOS if it was something in TeleManagement prevents there but could not see anything, and I was wondering if these limitations due to a cut the officer of management in ESXi or something? If not, what could be causing the problem? When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access.  As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  When I log in MSM I use the account root on ESXi and MSM reports that I have full access. As it is MSM is not very good for anything other than general information about my disks, card and backup battery.

  Have you installed the OEM ESXi version for Dell machines, or just a generic of VM Ware?  If you install ESX (with console) you can then install OM, and will give you the access you want.  You can manage all of this on the web.  Otherwise ESXi is limited, and it is a known issue.

  Have you tried to discuss with Dell?

• ESX 4.1 and LSI Megaraid Storage Manager

  Hi all!

  I'm testing a move of VMWare vCenter server for my organization and I am running into a problem.

  In my test environment, I have a Supermicro H8DME-2 motherboard with a Raid SAS LSI 9261 - 8i on that controller.  I currently have 2x750GB Sata in Raid 1 drives configured on the LSI controller.

  VSphere health now, reports that everything is perfect, especially when I pull on one of the hard drives.

  My problem is my ability to rebuild the table if I replace a drive.  I do not see this feature within vSphere (and I am not advanced to vCenter again, although I intend to do).  I was hoping to get LSI MSM installed, but I get an error.

  I installed MSM 8.00 - 05 website of LSI and used the vmware installation script.  I opened the ports required in the firewall of ESX.  I loaded the MSM client on either a guest on the ESX host or on my own machine and I am able to login and connect to the server.

  Loads of everything and I have just enough time to just a few clicks (about 20 seconds) until I lose the connection to the server.  After that, I can't reconnect unless I go to the server console and the show

  /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd restart

  .  Then I can connect again, but only for 20 seconds.

  For this reason, I can't manage my server, for example a range of gradients or the configuration of a new table, without having to reboot the host, which is an unacceptable solution.

  If I have a ssh connection open to the server when the frame falls down, I get a few terminals output.  It is:

  A google search revealed by train

  export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

  but that has not solved the problem.

  Can someone point me to a solution?  I can't imagine that it is a new show, while everyone else is doing when they need to rebuild a table?

  Thank you!

  CIM LSI modules should be in the standard installation of ESXi. They will give you basic followed the vSphere client. Reconstruction of the tables would not be a part of that. I go back to ESXi 4.0 and try everything that is available for LSI specifically for ESXi. If the controller supports relief, you can simply add another drive.

  I don't know what can be available with the controller of the motherboard Supermicro (IPMI) but you can check this.

• ThinkServer TD340 - features LSI MegaRAID SAS 9240-8i

  I have been looking to add a few records to our current 4 disk RAID10 configuration - managed by SAS9240-8i controller. However, I have been informed by Lenovo they dropped the disc that we currently have 4, which means that we cannot just buy 2 more and add them to the current RAID.

  My question is - the SAS9240-8i is able to manage two separate RAIDs? If we were to buy two disks could put us up in a RAID1 while still managing the other 4 disks in the RAID10?

  I tried to find this info of LSI/Avago, but since it is a Lenovo machine, they were not able to provide me with the information I requested. I get a little more hoping answers here.

  Thank you!

  Hi DForza,

  To answer your question, yes the 9240-8i is capable of multiple RAID volumes. In my opinion, that it supports up to 64 RAID volumes.

• Important: Redundancy lost for BE6K UCS C220 M3S PSU_REDUNDANCY

  Hello team,

  We have several deployments based on servers UCS C220 M3 (the famous BE6K) UA.

  I'm not derived from systems, I'm a guy of the voice.

  In fact, the UCS BE6K C220 M3 comes by default with a single power supply.

  However, in the MMIC, we find many times that an alert is triggered for the redundancy of power and the system LED turns into continuous light.

  Here's the warning: PSU_REDUNDANCY: PS redundancy sensor, redundancy Lost said

  We do not understand why this alert is triggered when we already know that the BE6K server contains only a power supply?

  What is a real problem or a false alarm?

  How we clear this alert?

  In fact the system LED is orange isn't bodes well from the perspective of the customer. As well as when let us it stay in the State of the orange light, we would be not only a more serious problem (and real) can happen?

  The MMIC version is: 1.5.4f

  Please notify.

  Unfortunately not (that I know) but if you go to loopholes in the Server tab, you should be able to view a summary of alerts and check what is happening.

  If it is useful, please rate... If it answers your question, please mark as well for future users.
