• Cisco C240-M4SX / 12G SAS Embedded Raid Controller Queue depth Reporting resulting in ESXi 6.0

  All,

  We have been a customer of vSAN VMware 6.0 for the last 6 months of our environment entirely on servers of Cisco C240 M4SX with the Cisco 12 G SAS integrated Raid Controller.   Everything in the environment was working well until we started to bring in data warehouse loads in the environment and began to notice performance around latency of disk and most important issues still outstanding IO high.  After that ESXtop and ESXCFG examination we found that the length of the queue announced to the adapter ESXi has been only 234 however the VMware HCL Announces 895; 234 is below minimum spec of 256 to correctly implement vSAN.  We have worked diligently with VMware on it to try different versions certified and non certified driver async for this raid controller in addition to the most recent firmware for the raid controller.  Regardless of the change of the depth of the queue remained 234.  The presence of FBWC affect the depth of queue announced to the operating system?  VMware support has indicated that it is clearly a problem "hardware".  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

  Greetings.

  Had the chance to spend some time in the laboratory and removed the cache module.

  After that, I now get "207", so I would say it's confirmed that 1,2,4 GB cache modules are used to increase the depth/length of the queue for these controllers.

• vSAN RAID?

  Hi guys,.

  We seek to put in place new infrastructure using VSANs to possibly save on material costs.  I like to know 2 things...

  1. Since then, he is recently out of beta, is it reliable vSAN to date?
  2. Do we need to configure the hardware RAIDs on our systems or vSAN has it's own fault tolerance?
     1. We plan on using a lot of SSD storage, so I wonder if we should set up a RAID for SSD drives or can we save on costs and rely on vSAN to fault tolerance?  We want to save on costs and SSD is $$$ expensive!

  Any information will be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Nick.

  When you choose a box make sure the Raid controller card is JBOD (cross)... which allows VSAN manage your disks to create groups of disks. The alternative is that you must configure each drive as its own RAID 0 for VSAN see the disk. Then, you will need to go to the Esxcli console and the mark of those who are the SSD by command line.  Could be a pain on many hosts and the SSD.  I had to do with a PERC H710.

  So far, I'm impressed by VSAN. I had a failure of the host (RAID controller card) a few months after... except a few hiccups... everyone worked as usual on the two remaining hosts with the pole broken heart.

  I tested scenarios of failure a lot before that... Pulling off the power on a host to see what happens when that test users were working on VM on this box... and everything that day was impressive. Users lost connections and in two minutes, were able to connect. Their virtual machines were on another host... WITHOUT a physical connection between the host offline. Really incredible things up...

• Qosmio F50 series contains RAID controller?

  Hello

  I am looking for a new computer laptop Toshiba and understood on this forum that Satellite P300 series does not have a RAID controller :-(
  To make it short: did the series Qosmio F50 got a RAID Controller? Is it possible to rotate the 2 HDD in RAID 0?

  Hello

  > Qosmio F50 series you have a RAID controller?

  No, as I know the Qosmio F50 series doesn t supports the RAID controller.
  It supports a simple SATA controller but not the RAID and so you cannot use RAID-0.

  Good bye

• Qosmio F30: Need 64-bit driver for RAID controller

  Can someone help me?
  Please, I beg you!
  I have a Qosmio F-30.
  Where can I find 64-bit raid controller driver?

  Is there somewhere?
  Please, help me!

  Unfortunately, the 64-bit XP drivers are very rare and on the Toshiba driver page, you will find everything.
  Perhaps because Toshiba is not liberating all computers laptops equipped of XP 64-bit operating system.
  See only one way to find one; Google for 64 bit driver s David and maybe you succeed

• ESX4i does not see the RAID controller card

  I install the ESX4 and the ESXi4. Considering that ESX sess card RAID controller, ESXi4 will not work. I was wondering if there was a solution to this?

  Memory I don't remember ESXi4 support adding additional drivers (unlike ESX4 Installer) but I was wondering if I climbed to U1 ESX4i, that would help. Or is just "not supported"?

  Concerning

  Mike Landry

  www.RTFM-Ed.co.uk

  My problem has been resolved by the way of the ESXi 4.0 to ESXi 4.0 Update 1... which includes a driver update...

  I managed to ESXi in order to run from a USB key on the servers, but found the previous day, and DPM mode did not work properley. While he was going to suspend the ESX box very well, the machine just and seems to lose its settings to boot PXE boot - regardless of what I did with the BIOS...

  I found ESX4i U1 to install on the physical disk is more reliable...

  Hello TangIT,

  You try to set the IP address of management through SMCIL or you use the serial cable to try & put the IP of management?  When you try to set the IP made it also allow you to set the IP address, subnet mask & gateway and then give you the error or it gives the error right after the address IP is implemented?

• PowerEdge R230 add RAID controller

  Need advice: the goal is to add Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller H330 server Dell Poweredge R230.

  Originally, the data connection is to the motherboard with a mini SAS connector, power cord is related to the Board of Directors itself as well go with a connector 6-pin. Given that the new RAID controller has a different SAS (SFF8644) mini connector, I can't use the original cable.

  So try to solve that I bought 4 X SFF-8482 SAS a cable - Mini SAS SFF 8643. It would connect the RAID controller for readers. (THIS)

  I also added a power cords: 4 Pin IDE power Molex 1 male to 3 x female Splitter & 2 x 4-pin Molex to 6-pin PCI-E adjust Power Supply Cable (THIS) and (THIS). It was supposed to feed readers - but is not and they won't turn on.

  No idea why? Other ideas of ways to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  1. initially, I understood the topology based on the information on the user manual, see the attached figure describing Cabling two 3.5-inch hard drives 'to the PERC card. Isn't this relevant?

  The information I had previously provided are based on the wiring of the Controller PERC H330 with basket 4 x 3.5 "which I assumed you had based on your notes. Thanks for your clarification and ignore these P/Ns. Here are the cables you need.

  • Signal and cable LED to P/N 6R7VT the H330 controller to connect to the motherboard
  • Cable SAS junction A H330 for 2 hard drives or optical drives, P/N TTN3V
  • Hard/optical drive power cable from the system board P/N N9P7R for 4 HD (shipped with your server. Use only 2 connectors) or P/N VXR2 for 2 hard drives.

  IB - EN1

  457CH, TWV59, 6R7VT: I can not find an any of them on the dell Web site, you can share links?

  I would recommend that you directly contact Dell sales in your area.

  Thank you.

• RAID controller does not have bootable VD

  Hello

  I have a R730 with all the recently updated firmware to the latest versions to try to solve this problem. I need to host a Nvidia K20 (a little old but qualified GPGPU). UEFI turned off so I

  I have 2 hard drives in raid mirror (1) and you set write-back and no read ahead (for the purposes of this problem).

  I can boot from USB and install CentOS on the virtual disk but the virtual disk does not appear in the menu of bootable devices. If I reactivate UEFI, then the drive appears in the list of bootable devices (but the GPU blocks the system before startup - crash looks like this: http://moufie.blogspot.com/2015/01/technology-system-detected-exception.html )

  I have 3 other R730s who have only a single drive and no raid controller. They all work just by turning off UEFI and without further changes.

  Hello

  First thing I did was an update of the bios so I'm on 2.2.5 which should be the last.

  2 mirrored drives are 1.8 to 10K RPM SAS 12Gbps 4Kn 2.5 in hard Hot-plug
  Drive.

  The GPU does not comes with the system

  The processor is E5-2660 v4

  I have now reduced the problem until the disks. I mentioned that I had other R730 nodes that work. These nodes have these discs: 300GB 15K RPM SAS 2.5 Hot plug hard in 12Gbps
  Drive, 3.5 in. I took 2 of them on work systems and raided their together in my non-working system and that it resolves. So I think it's the combination of 4 kN size 1.8 to and off UEFI which confuses the bios and prevents the disks appear as bootable.

  Now that I start to google by searching for the correct terms I'm going with this:

  

  on page 10, it confirms that 4 kN is only supported using the UEFI.

  Thanks for your time!
