• Reference Dell R520 slow performance hard drive with 6 x 600 GB SAS 15 K

  Hello

  We are verry bad writing performance on our R520 with 2012 R2.

  For example, install a VM of R2 2012 will be faster on my home computer on this server. As we wanted using this server primarily to see that this is starting to be a real problem.

  All hard drives are in a matrix single raid 5. There are a score of 200 GB for the OS (C:\). and a score of 2, 6 TB of data and the virtual machine (D:\).

  Installation program:
  POWEREDGE R520.

  Thanks in advance and I apologize for my bad English.

  Consider upgrading your controller RAID for a H710. The H310 is a low range controller and your bottleneck.

• Move VM - change data store

  Hello

  It is a matter of mutliplart, but I hope that simple to follow. I need to move my VM's to another store of data from my ESXi host / node, so I can upgrade the host harware. Quick background; We have a Dell T605 ESXi server with 1 RAID 5 array. We're going to upgrade the current RAID and add another RAID 1, using RAID 1 for the console and RAID 5 for our database. We now have another ESXi host online, and the main quaestion is what is the best way to move the virtual machine to the host 'temporary', while we improve the primary host. The virtual machine need not run, what is the best way to copy them from one host to another? Once copied to the host 'main', how ca we add these VM in our inventory? We have researchd, moving the virtual machine using SCP fast and tested, works well, but we can't understand how to add to our inventory VM in the VI Client cousole. Currtenlty we test using Vcenter converter. Not sure that the best and fastest is to make our copy of data / backup.

  Thanks for your help and your thoughts...

  There are many options availible to do what you want. You can:

  (1) CPC (as you already have)

  (2) to clone the VMDK (vmkfstools - i, in your case, you will need to use rcli)

  (3) storage Vmotion

  Once you get it on the new data store, (if you are on the same HOST) you want to remove the virtual machine (you moved) inventory, and then access the *.vmx on the new data store and (right click) add to the inventory.

• Qosmio G30: Upgrade Vista session: new RAID not recognized

  Hello everyone

  I tried to upgrade vista manual upgrade option, but 2 problems have occurred:

  1. I could not remove these applications (are not not in Control Panel > Add/Remove)
  -> Bluetooth ACPI by Toshiba
  -> TOSHIBA TV TUNER
  -> Nvidia nView Desktop manager
  -> windows 5.1 msnger

  Then, I ignored them and proceeded, I faced a new problem, the new RAID drivers cannot be recognized in the partition screen.

  If I could solve these problems, I get vistaif you have any ideas it would be great.

• Utility RAID does not work after upgrade to Vista

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G30 with 2 HD 120 GB each. After that I've upgraded to Windows Vista Windows XP, Toshiba RAID Utility no longer works. In Windows XP Home Edition, it worked OK, but in Vista, there is no way I can reflect the HD. In other words, the utility itself works, but the button that should say mirror, or something like that is not displayed. I put the RAID-1 disks in the BIOS, but no go.
  Is it possible to get the software RAID to work again?

  Hello

  just a quick question: during the installation of vista, is that you have installed the RAID driver installation? Maybe this could be the reason why the RAID can not be activated properly.

  Please give some feedback, if you have installed the RAID for Vista drivers during installation...

  See you soon

• W520 - upgrade RAID HDD SSD

  Hi all

  I have a W520 who has Dual RAID hard drives (via Bay adapter), HDD 500 GB, 7200 RPM configured by lenovo when I bought the machine. I was curious if it is possible to upgrade to an SSD HARD drive? If so is there something that needs to be disconfigured for it? In addition, the SSD can be used similar to a RAID?

  Any help on this is greatly appreciated that the machine is quite slow with the HARD drive.

  Thank you!

  My original plan when I bought my W520 was to get a pre-configured with RAID and then buy an msata and settle the system. I couldn't find a raid system for a reasonable price where I lived well...

  But this might be something for you perhaps? You can install an OS/system for msata ssd and keep the hard drives in raid for quick storage. MSATA is SATAII, but where the reader to other bays are on the W520 SATAIII. Yet, I used my msata for OS/system for a while, can't say he felt somehow more slowly.

  Not really answering your question, I know. But maybe something that might speed things up. I have no experience with ssd's in raid. A lot of articles on this topic, if you look around, however.

• DV6 7000 with RAID 0 - SSD Upgrade?

  I have a dv6 7000 series, Intel 3210 m, 750 GB hd with ssd of 32 GB as a cache - according to the Device Manager, I have a Raid 0 configuration. I have the latest version of the BIOS.  Can I put this by replacing the HD with a SSD?  If so, will it remove the ssd of 32 GB?  The installer has nothing on readers - it will detect automatically?  I put in place a chat session with technical support twice, getting 2 different answers, none of them well informed. Thanks for any help

  Here's the thread I was talking about.

  http://Forum.NotebookReview.com/HP-Pavilion-notebooks/676213-definitive-guide-clean-install-OS-MSSD-cache-equipped-laptop-dv6t-7000-dv7t-7000-Envy17-3200-a.html

  The 32 GB SSD cache is a micro-SATA card (which is upgradable - they come as large as 512 GB now) so you want to probably not install your OS on it because it is not very much space, but you can be upgraded to 128 GB for now relatively cheap and then you won't have not to lose all your mechanical hard disk = space)

• Dell Inspiron 1721 Win 7 ultimate upgrade on Vista ultimate. ATI Raid driver problems.

  I install Win 7 Ultimate on Windows Vista Ultimate Edition for my sister.  Although I am appalled by his duty to pay 200 more of the money it has paid to buy Vista Ultimate (for which she won Bitlocker and the possibility to join the areas, I have the following problem: she has a lot to gain a little and there are still problems in the installation of the OS.)  It would be good, at least, since it paid the price to have copies of the disks him were sent and more download (which I work with)

  I am trying to install the upgrade from 32-bit to Windows 7 on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1721 and I get an error that says I need to update my ATI AHCI Compatible RAID Driver. I went into the device drivers update as described in the instructions and tried to update the driver but it says I have the latest version of the driver for it. So I tried to restart my laptop and represented the upgrade installation and received the same error message.

  Can you advise me on how to solve the problem.  She has spent a lot of money and, at least, deserves to make it work!

  Hello

  You should check with the system manufacturer (Dell) and AMD/ATI possible as they write drivers.

• Stop error SCSI/RAID Host Controller Windows 7 upgrade

  • • Storage controllers: SCSI/RAID Host Controller

  Upgrade Advisor does not list the problem but I agreed to look for updates during the installation and he did then. My computer. is a HP Pavilion Slimline s3650f model.

  Upgrade Advisor listed issues were:

  -Hardware Diagnostic tools - update available (the latest version of Vista 64 bit is installed. "I think I can wait until Windows 7 is installed to update, right?)

  -Labelprint (version 2.2.2913 came pre-installed on my computer. I Sure Thing CD Labeler so I can uninstall if necessary, but I doubt that would be the problem)

  -Photosmart C4500 (DOT4PRINT) - status: unknown (I have the C4599 printer and a search on the windows Compatibility Center site 7 it lists as compatible.) I'll check the updates of driver after upgrade).

  I Lavalys Everest Ultimate Edition and did some looking into my COMP specs... I'm sure you guys have not need all this information, but I prefer to give too much information than not enough.
  I'll start by providing 3 pictures the computer on my computer summary:

  Now some info BIOS & Motherboard:

  http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/5358/biosinfo.jpg
  http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9362/everestmotherboardinfo.jpg

  I did a search on the support of Microsoft answers forum and found some people HERE (I've posted there but nobody answered me. This is an old thread. I'll start a new if necessary.) saying updated their BIOS got rid of this message, but I installed 5.18 version (as well as from 06/2008 & later on the site of HP in 2008-09. Could it be the cause?)

  However, as you can see there is a link to upgrade the BIOS in Everest that takes you to esupport.com which you install biosagentplus and offer a free scan.
  Here are pictures of my results:

  Also, I followed the download link for the BIOS to asus.com looking for some info but finds it difficult to find anything. Maybe I'm in the right place.

  I don't have a method further up until I get some other opinions on the situation. Is it possible that a program is causing this problem or is it really a hardware problem?

  I would add also on an attempt to upgrade it has no force to leave me and tried to install. In my opinion, he got completely installed and got to the final reboot but it gave an error that it could not be installed and rolled back to Vista.

  If more info is needed please ask. I hope that someone has ideas. If this isn't the case, I can try the Microsoft forum.

  Well, I finally got upgraded to Windows 7 just now here and my boy I feel like a fool d * n. I unplugged my external hard drive, uninstalled my printer and other external usb devices and was about to start uplugging my tuner TV, graphics card, thinking that one of them was the problem, then I uninstalled Alcohol 120% and poof, the SCSI/RAID host controller error disappeared. Also just to be sure, that I uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Security to ensure that it would not interfere with the installation and reinstalled after.

  Still a lot of things to study but most of the time. The only problem I've come across so far is the HP Solution Center detects no not my printer. I printed a test page, there is work. I do not know if the program just needs updating or if I need to uninstall and reinstall the software, but it shouldn't be a major issue anyway.

  So far the system running much more quickly than before and I'm loving the new features. I will continue to pick up my pride on the floor that I check things and remind anyone that gets this issue uninstall Alcohol or Daemon Tools, if they are installed.

• How to upgrade readers in my H200 RAID of larger size and SATA to SAS

  We are upgrading hard drives in our Dell Poweredge T110, equipped with a PERC-H200A and two in RAID 1 TB mirrored SATA drives. We run the Dell T110 of ESXi 5.1 version and a single Windows Server Essentials 2012 VM.

  We want to double our capacity of hard disk and the Support of Dell sold us 2 x 342-1020 (2 TB 7.2 K NL SAS, 6 G, 3.5, CB, CK) readers.

  What is the easiest way to replace the existing SATA disks in the RAID with these new disks in the same configuration and EXSi / VM / OS?

  The controller manages RAID creating the new RAID and copy the data through somehow?
  I add the new disks in a second DiskVolume and build a second (SAS) RAID and then somehow to clone or copy the original (SATA) RAID to the new then pass the boot device to the new (SAS) RAID?

  Thank you
  Dan

  It is a different scenario than what addresses this thread, but to answer your question: Yes, you can remove a 1 TB SAS drive and replace it with another drive SAS to rebuild.

• The RAID on the PowerEdge T610 controller upgrade

  This system came with a SAS6/iR controller and after the installation of Server R2 2012 and with 32 GB of RAM it's on all fours, probably because we use software RAID 5. I want to upgrade RAID controller so that I can use hardware RAID 5. What controllers are compatible with the T610? I know that the H710 is eligible, but what about the H710P and the H810? We have a bottom of basket that holds 8 discs. Do we need anything else? I see that some people needed cables as well.

  PERC 6 / i and the H700 are validated for the T610. The Hx10 are 12 generation servers (like T620, T610 is 11G). H8x0 controllers are for external storage.

  Main differences between H700 or PERC 6:

  PERC 6 is 3Gbps, max disk 2 TB, 256 MB cache
  PERC H700 is cache cache/memory NVRAM 6Gpbs, TB + 2 disks, 512 MB or 1 GB

• Need to upgrade the R420 server with 3.5 "raid S110 to H310 controller backplane

  Hello

  I want to upgrade a server R420 with snap-in basket to warm 3.5 "S110 raid controller to controller H310.  Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can order this and the part for the controller ID and SAS cables needed to connect it?

  Thank you!

  SeaSterling,

  Looking for the part number is K09CJ for the controller H310. The cables are 7M80X.

  Now a Word. When upgrading a S110 to a H310, you CANNOT migrate the data intact. You must back up the data and recreate the berries.

  Let me know if it helps.

• Dell R510 4 4 TB drives - who need to upgrade raid wired controller with S100

  Hello

  Help a customer trying to get out of their inherited R510 servers installation to manage their backups off site.

  It's a R510 with S100 controller and (4) cables currently drives (all 4 to).

  All readers more in sheets sata directly on the motherboard. There isn't any background backplane hotswap to talk about.  I need to be able to do less Raid-5 and have it support the full space of the drive in the Raid array (12 to, not to cut the limit of 2 TB).  We never treat S100/cable servers so I wanted soft hand to see if someone could give advice on what parts would be needed for this to happen. Does not seek to get the disks to be hotswap (cable is fine) but need to know what controller (6i, h710, etc.) would be necessary and if all new cables would be required as well since these currently plug directly into the Sata1-4 on the motherboard.  Thanks for any input you may have.

  Matt

  You need a H700 - Dell Part # XXFVK

  You need different cable - Dell Part # X394K

  You will need to pick up these parts from a non Dell as source probably won't be available in Dell spare parts.
