Upgrade of SAS 6/ir to PERC 6 / i

• Upgrade T710 SAS 6/iR to PERC H700 problems

  I'm trying to improve and replace a RAID controller Dell SAS 6/iR (Dell PowerEdge T710/Linux Fedora) one with a PERC H700 (SAS6/iR supports only 2 disks to or smaller). The disks on the SAS6/iR are on the H700 and all RAID 0. I did all of the BIOS and firmware updates.

  When I enter the r RAID manager and each physical disk is mapped to a virtual disk. When I reboot, disk sizes are reported correctly in the system, but the partitions are listed as 'unknown format' and are unreadable. (I'm starting off the coast of the SATA because I'm tired to destroy the system disk. I know that I might have to do a complete OS resinstall anyway.

  I tried to set up foreign auto import to on and off.

  Making matters worse, after I removed the H700 restore 6 I / R, 6 I / R no longer sees the drives.

  The manual of Dell for the PERC H700 says

  "The virtual disks created on a PERC 6 and H200 controller family can be migrated to the PERC H700 and H800 cards without risking data or loss of configuration."

  But this doesn't seem to be the case for me. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  The SAS 6/iR is NOT on PERC 6 - they are very different controllers.

  Migration of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i is possible for Windows volumes, but only not bootable volumes. Although there is a small chance that it can work in all cases, a SAS 6/iR to a H700 migration is not supported, and it is more than likely, it will not work.

  My advice: Install your H700, configure RAID, then reinstall.

• Replace the SAS 5i/r with PERC 5i

  We have a SC1435 inherited a new client who has a SAS 5i/r that failed. The customer wants us to try to recover the machine online recoverthe of the 1 73 GB RAID array data.

  With this in mind, we swapped the SAS 5i/r with a PERC 5i we have in our spare parts, in the hope he could read all the metadata in the disks to rebuild the table.

  The drive is detected without problem, but no logical volume is detected.

  Can someone advise on my available options, that is, if I can find an another SAS 5i/r from somewhere it would detect the logical volume, or I have the option to create a new table RAID1 on PERC, but will it hose existing data, or perhaps another option, I did not thought.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  SAS 5 only supports migration to another SAS 5, but you should check to see if a foreign configuration is detected on PERC 5 just in case.

  Yes, install another SAS 5 should allow the table to be detected. It is possible that the table has been altered after the failure of the former Comptroller, so a data recovery company may be required if the table is not seen by another SAS 5.

  Thank you

• Problems with the raid PERC S100 controller

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought a Dell R410 server with a raid PERC S100 without search controller before that. Problem is that I need to install a Linux OS and as it seems, this controller does not support linux.

  Because I was in a hurry, but they can also help in my situation, I bought the following cables:

  

  Apparently, I don't have a slot for connecting the cables... :)

  So my question is. Is there a solution to this problem? I tried to disable/remove the S100, but the MB does not detect hard drives. The server is with a bottom of basket.

  I actually found this thread in the forums-> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/906/t/19472600.aspx, but unfortunately, I couldn't find the cables posted in the thread.

  Here is an actual photo of the machine:

  

  This server will support the SAS 6/ir, Perc 6 / i and controllers Perc H700. you will need to run linux on this server. The SAS 6/ir is limited to RAID 0 and 1; Perc run several RAID levels.

  If you get the SAS 6/ir or Perc 6 / i, you will need this cable:

  69V70 cable, 6i/SAS PERC 6i/5 at the bottom of basket of 6G

  For the H700, need you also this cable:

• ESXi 4 LSI and SAS3042EL compatibility

  Hi all

  I think I have raid SAS3042EL controller.

  It makes me wonder is - this 4 out of the box compatible ESXi?

  I would like to plug, connect multiple HARD disks, the raid array and this HARD drive recognized by ESXi 4 without any tricks.

  I want to use a card?

  Thanks in advance for your answers.

  Hi AntakarDonvar,

  I think you should be able to use the card without problems.

  I used successfully a brand LSI SAS3041E with ESXi 4.0 HP in my lab at home.

  The chipset on this map is based corresponds to that used in the Dell SAS 5i/r (not PERC) and only RAID levels 0, 1 and may 10. Please note that the card is just as stupid as you wait for $40. As there are on the PERC that you really need to do a bit of tweaking as soon as you have created your volumes on the map, there is no memory for caching. The tweak is described here:

  http://pocitace.Tomasek.cz/SAS5iRperf/index.html

  Under "of the SAS 5/iR performance"

  There is a version of the tool of LSI BACK and this setting is available in the utility windows management LSI "MSM".

  Be sure to connect your system to a UPS system if you enable this setting!

• Upgrade a R710 with SAS 6/ir with a PERC

  I have a situation to come and advice/suggestions would be appreciated...

  I have a R710 with 6 x 3.5 inches disks chassis and populated with 6 disks (2 x 136GB and 4 x 300 GB) SAS
  The server was poorly specified before buying and bought with a SAS6/ir controller

  The server is an Exchange area.
  Operating system is on C:, which is a RAID-1 using the 2 x 136 GB SAS drives
  Data on D: which is a RAID 1 using 2 of the 300 GB drives
  The other 2 players are sitting doing nothing as the SAS 6/ir can support 2 virtual disks and only RAID 0 or RAID-1

  The problem is the volume of data is closer to capacity and I really need to use the replacement disks.
  After reviewing several options, it seems to me that the only viable solution is to get a PERC H700 and import foreign VDs but I read that import a SAS 6/ir VD containing a Windows operating system in a PERC H700 is not possible/supported.
  I believe important to the volume of data would be ok and then I could use RAID level migration and online capacity expansion to add replacement discs and convert RAID-1, RAID-5, air-conditioned and with minimal downtime.

  If importing an OS disk is a non-runner, is a server to rebuild the only option or miss me something?
  For example, can I run a SAS 6/ir beside a H700 leaving the BONES on the SAS 6/ir and leaving the H700 handle data?  If so, how it works in what concerns the installation of the additional card in elevators and wiring to the speakers?

  As I said, any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,
  Andy

  "BSOD with the STOP 7b junior Boot Device."

  This is because they use different drivers and the drivers loaded in Windows for the 6/iR do not talk to the H700.

  What you might try is to boot to Windows on the SAS6/iR, with the H700 inserted (but not connected to anything), let Windows detect the device to load the drivers for it, then try to readers the PERC.

• PERC S300 RAID10 Drive upgrade Question

  I currently have 4x250GB HARD drives in a PERC S300 on a PE T110.  It works fine but I really want to upgrade to SSD because they are becoming so cheap.  However, when I was in RAID5, it requires that any replacement of disks are of equal size or greater, even if the actual volume was a fraction of the available space.  Is this the same requirement on the S300 for RAID10?

  Yes, it's necessary. In addition, you cannot mix SAS and SATA and SSD, SATA or SAS, SSD, so you will need to do a backup/restore of your SSD barrette.

• 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.

• Dealer PERC SAS 6 Gb/E see car under Windows 2008 storage IBM storage manager

  Hi guys, we are planning to add IBM ds3512 with Dell R710, who is having a port two Perc 6 GB/e card. Windows 2008 r2 is the operating system installed on the server, I have configured the storage that shows the card number wwpn and assign the Lun to the server using wwpn of card SAS. But some how in server 2008 disk management doesn't show any other drive other than default drive. New analysis also do not add this disk assigned to the server. Storage and server is connected with cables SAS with one side and server 8470-side and storage 8088.  While LEDs on the card are green. Why the operating system

  Don't show assigned drive? Concerning

  As I don't know card SAS will be configured through the bios utility is not a problem. CTL R. But the only problem that we get is it only support of less than 2 TB drives.

• Need help of the correct SAS 2.5 upgrade option "HDD for PowerEdge T620

  I want to add the disk to an existing Dell PowerEdge T620 (service tag GTPKDV1) storage. The vehicle currently has 7 300 GB SAS 2.5 "hot, two virtual drives (300 GB RAID1) and RAID5 1116 GB replaceable drives. There are 16 bays.

  Browsing the Dell store for server upgrade parts I am surprised not to see that two form factors for of 2.5 "10K rpm SAS drives. only 300 or 900 GB. Nothing to do with higher speeds or more capacity! And I'm not even sure, one of the search results is really 2.5 "because the Web site product description does not indicate the size at all.

  300 GB of the manufacturer: 15NM6 | Dell reference: 342-2016 (accessories.dell.com/.../productdetail.aspx

  900 GB of the manufacturer: TPMWF | Dell reference: 342-4143 (http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Hard_Drives_Storage/productdetail.aspx?c=ca&l=en&s=bsd&cs=cabsdt1&sku=342-4143&mfgpid=225343)

  The 900 GB is described as a hybrid drive. What is a drive hybrid? Isn't SAS, SAS?

  There are several results that seem to be variations on the 300 GB 10 K 2.5 "disk SAS6. They are all the same product? Why the different reference numbers?

  The H710p wouldn't even try to use the 300 to rebuild the 1.8 TB drive failure, as the reader will not be perceived as a Hot Spare for this virtual disk. A 300 GB global Hot Spare would be able to rebuild any 300 GB or more small disc. If the Global Hot Spare is a 1.8 to it should rebuild one of these virtual drives.

  I don't know if you already said that, or if you thought about it. The reason why these commands do not work in your system is because they are readers of formatted 4Kn.

  P710 series controllers don't support of 4 Kn.

  There is a work around, but get this info from Dell is going to be almost impossible. (They want buy you your discs at home).

• Installation problem of almost any OS on PE2950 II PERC 5 / i SAS

  Hello
  I'm reassingning a PE2950 II (two Xeon dual core, 4 GB RAM, PERC 5 / i with single virtual disk RAID1 146 GB SAS) and I want to do a new installation of Windows Server 2003 R2 with SP2. Everything is very well thanks to the wizard of Server preparing the partitions and copies files Server Wizard and Windows Server CD but after completing this step instead of continue the implementation of the OS, the server is stuck at the "installing windows" screen It does the same thing so start it directly from MS media.

  This doesn't seem to be a reference number based in the United States, which probably explains the exorbitant prices and lack of availability.

  That you linked to are also SAS cables (power and data)-they also accept SATA drives, but they are not necessary if you plan never to use SATA drives.

  Try these:
