• PowerEdge R320 - S110 PERC upgrade to PERC H710

  I installed a H710 PERC integrated in my R320, which originally shipped with the S110 PERC.  The controller recognizes the 2nd virtual disk, but not the first, which is the boot drive.  It just shows that the 2 discs unconfigured.  Both work very well when I plug the cable into the S110.  What Miss me?

  Thank you

  John

  Hello

  Between the S110 and H710 RAID migration is not supported. You will need create new virtual disks on the H710.

  Thank you

• DELL perc h700 battery replacement, please help

  1. where to buy, and what exact model battery... is there a link please if you :)

  2. how to replace it? a guide to how to do it.
  Needs a power Server? Or can you replace it while the server is running?

  3. If I replace it, do I lose my config, configuration raid and other things, as if you take the bios battery, you lose all the config...?

  Thank you, hoping that someone will help me out here, its my first time changing battery...

  BrownGhostDK,

  You can go to Dell.com site and search for the part number 312-0448. This is the same kit for the Perc 5.6. and h700.

  To replace it, you will need to turn off the server and unplug the power cord, then hold the power button to drain flea power. After that then just remove and replace the battery. Power back up normally. The configuration is stored in the controller and will not be lost by replacing the battery. The main role of batteries is to provide the power required to save the data from the cache when the server goes down.

  I would like to know if that helps...

• PowerEdge T310 - install second disc as raid1 with dell server administration software?

  Hi all

  Quick question - we have a PowerEdge T310 with a disk in it. We want to install a second drive and put them in raid1. Issues related to the:

  1. Can we use software from dell server administrator to do?
  2. This will delete the volume on the current drive.

  In a perfect scenario, we want to just install the second disk, set up in raid 1 and call it a day.

  Thanks for the tips!

  1. Yes.

  2. function:

  If your drive is existing in a single drive RAID 0, so it CAN be converted on the fly to a 2 drive RAID 1.

  If your existing drive is a volume not RAID, she cannot be converted on the fly without loss of data.

  The SAS 6/iR and series S PERC H200 supported RAID and non RAID, so the chances of a disk being a RAID 0 array is extremely low.

  PERC 6 / i and H700 do not support no RAID, for a single disc can only be a RAID 0, so convert to RAID 1 is fine.

• License after restoring issues?

  I have a Dell T310 with SBS 2008 that I intend to upgrade a S300 controller to controller H700.  I intend to:
  1. mark and pull the current readers, then controller S300.
  2. install the H700 and put in place a disc of 2 TB as a RAID-0 and restore to ensure that the backups are working.
  3. remove the 2 TB drive and set up the disks in RAID-5 on the H700
  4 restoration.

  Question:
  Ther e will have problems with the restoration of SBS 2008 license?

  Thank you!

  It should not be licensing issues.  Even the mere fact of the evolution of controllers and disks should not be enough for the kickoff of activation again.

• RAID 5 configuration on t410

  the RAID 5 on t410 it shows only raid 1, raid 0 and raid 10 option

  Assuming you are using a controller H200 - he does not not RAID 5, only the RAID 0 and 1 (including 10). You will need a PERC 6 / i or H700 for RAID 5, I recommend against the use of RAID 5.

• A few simple newbie questions

  I've been running Windows Home Server on an old Dell Zion (Yes - quite pokey), I see that Dell has many things on an I3 PowerEdge T110 II. I did a lot of search in the online documentation and manuals, but have a few unanswered questions:

  o the server has a built-in SATA controller? The manual says 6 SATA connectors, but when I tried to configure the server for the purchase, it was persistent to choose me a PERC controller card. If there is a controller of the motherboard, will it be enough?

  o once again, trying to set up with UEFI boot, he said conflicts in configuration. I am the command without hard drives, but to use an existing drive to 4 TB. I'm going to need to configure GBT and will require UEFI, I think. Is this a problem?

  o any person aware of all the problems with Windows Home Server 2011 running on this platform?

  They are sold individually as no disc/OSless as the default configuration. That's fine, but I wanted to buy a couple of company drives to go with it. When I tried to configure the system with hard drives, came when all configuration conflicts. I'll try to call tomorrow, but I think the community is generally better informed than the sales people. It looks like I'll buy the unit without disc and add my own records. Recommendations for hard disks that are reasonably reliable (and cheaper than Dell)? I want to run RAID 1.

  My 'adventure' is about to begin. Thanks for the help!

  The server has a built-in SATA controller? The manual says 6 SATA connectors, but when I tried to configure the server for the purchase, it was persistent to choose me a PERC controller card. If there is a controller of the motherboard, will it be enough?

  Yes, he does. Don't forget to check the Onboard SATA under hard disk Configuration option. If you enable RAID, you will get the S100 controller... let off RAID and use RAID software Windows instead.

  achuneke

  Yet once, trying to configure with UEFI boot, he said conflicts in configuration. I am the command without hard drives, but to use an existing drive to 4 TB. I'm going to need to configure GBT and will require UEFI, I think. Is this a problem?

  You can't order a server without a disk (see below *). If you plan to use your own, order it with the most small/less expensive available drive, then swap later. You have NO need to specify a UEFI/BIOS at the time wherever you order the server if you intend to swap the hard drive or install the OS yourself.

  achuneke

  Anyone aware of any issues with Windows Home Server 2011 running on this platform?

  I don't see any, other than the fact that he didn't is not officially "supported", so you may run into issues at some point, but I suspect that there won't be any.

  * You said they sell it "diskless", which I have never seen. If you can, great, but if not, see my comment above. Business records are only needed if you use enterprise-class RAID controllers. Do not use the S100... is not (is not) a "business" class RAID solution

  'Real' RAID controllers (like the PERC 6 / i or H700) are not supported in the T110 II, so you don't ' really need to business records. Some have reported PERC 6/7 works to T110 II, but it is not supported, and if you choose to go this route, then make sure you have some good records designed for these controllers.

• 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.

• PERC H700 adapter w / Cable X394K

  I am upgrading a PowerEdge T310 for a client that was originally shipped with a single HARD drive and no RAID controller (only one hard drive is connected to the mobo).

  I bought a Controller PERC H700 and the cable X394K and hung.  It doesn't seem like something to connect readers to food, with the exception of a connector 12 pin labeld "P3A.  But the server doesn't have a connector anywhere so that I can connect only.  The only thing available is a connector 8 pins on the socket.

  Is there an adapter cable to go from the 8 to 12 pins pins? Or do I need something else than the X394K cable, which provides the SATA data connector and power in a single molded unit?

  Please notify.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The cable you have (X394K) is not designed for a T310. T310 cable with the right connector is Y690K.

  Thank you

• Drives 3 TB for DELL PoweEdge R510 with PERC H700 Controller

  Good afternoon.

  Currently, we have 8 x discs 1Tera in our PorwerEdge R510.

  -1 RAID 1 for the first 2 discs, which have the operating system (Windows Server 2008)

  -1 RAID 5 for the other 6 disks

  We strive to upgrade our RAID 5 with new disks of 6 x 3 TB.

  The problem is OpenManage pointed out that the discs that we inserted the 2 TB, and the State is "unsupported".

  The PERC H700 firmware is:

  Firmware version	12.0.1 - 0091
  Driver version	4.31.01.64
  Version of the Storport driver	6.0.6002.18005

  Do you know why this phenomenon occurs? Do we need to do a Firmware Update for the PERC controller? If so, this will delete RAID 1, OS disks?

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  See you soon.

  If you change to UEFI, you will need to reinstall the operating system. UEFI completely changes the way the operating system reads the system hardware, so there is not a way to avoid a reinstallation.

  The firmware update will not affect the RAID array.

• PERC H700 driver during Windows Server 2012 r2 - disk Raid not recognized not

  Hello

  I try to install a r2 Windows Server 2012 to a Poweredge R710 with a Raid Perc H700. 2 HDD in Raid 1, but the HARD drive is not rcognized Italian Installation even if I try to use the 2008 r2 for the Perc Raid driver. They are listed, but if I select one disk HARD are not visible. What should do?

  Best regards...

  Grolle,

  Leave in the Raid Controller, what is the status of the table? In addition, was the raid 1 initialized after being created? If this isn't the case, then, who will have to be done before you try to install.

  If you download this and start on the lifecycle controller (F10) and then select deploy BONES, load these files there and proceed with the installation of the OS.

• Dell Power Edge R410 & Dell Perc H700 modular F2WGY

  Hi guys

  Need some advice please, a few weeks ago, we bought a Dell R410. This came with a modular 6/ir Perc. However, when we arrived at the installation of drives we noticed that the controller did not recognize disks larger than 2 TB. It's not good because we need to use 2 x 3 and 2 x 500 GB disks in a RAID 1 Configuration.

  After Googling autour, I came to the conclusion that the card that it came with the "Perc 6/ir' does not support disks larger than 2 TB.

  So, I advanced and bought a new modular a "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" controller which apparently supports disks more great.

  the controller came yesterday so I removed the old Perc 6/ir controller from the slot in the bottom of the map editing and trendy "Dell Perc H700 F2WGY" modular at the same place. : Photo of slot, I inserted H700

  H700 card: see picture

  PERC 6/ir map: see picture

  Anyway, once I inserted the card and started, I was presented with the error; "PCIE training error" system HALT.

  Obviously this would not start any further. So I brought the wrong card? im confused at the moment between modular and integrated? the pcie slot is low for integrated only cards?

  I then add the new map on the PCIE Top slot. the system then started and he could see the card. However, it found no readers?

  What exactly I do bad will this card work at all? or I'm out of luck and need another card?

  Cappilio,

  The problem you are experiencing is due to the model of the H700. Map H700 modular version is actually designed for the blade server Poweredge series. The model that you would need is the H700i which is the version that is integrated, designed to go into the white storage controller slot you are talking about. The references are KK67X and CNXVV. The latest model of the H700 is the H700A which is the adapter, it's the model that is necessary for installation in a PCIe location.

  This link explains in detail in the overview H700 - http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pvaul/en/perc-technical-guidebook.pdf

  Let me know if it helps.

• Add the disk to the PERC H700 of RAID integrated table 5

  Hi all.

  I have currently a Dell PowerEdge R710 configured with 4 SAS - 2 10 146 k Seagate 2.5 "drives in a Perc h700 integrated Bay RAID-5. I ordered a SAS-2 10 146 k disk Seagate 2.5 "to add to the Bay RAID-5 storage, making it a 5-disc set. What is the best way to add the drive to the RAID-5 array without losing any data? I have OpenManage Server Admin on the server.

  OS: Windows Server 2003 R2 32 BIT

  You can use OMSA... go in storage, PERC, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for your RAID 5.  This will add the disk to your RAID 5, then you will need to adjust the partitions in Windows once it is completed.
