similar to: Any experience with Dell 1850 Server with PERC 4e/Si

Hello, I am having issues making my box boot with Xen. I am working with linux-2.6.16.28-xen on a gentoo box. The server is Dell PowerEdge 1850 with Perc 4e/Si, FW 521X. When dom0 reaches the point of scanning the SCSI controllers, it hangs in a loop aic7xxx_dev_reset_returns 0x2002. My regular (non-xen) kernels come up fine with detecting my adaptec scsi controller. Had anyone had the same

I''ve got Solaris 10 U6 with a ZFS boot/root installed on a Dell 1850 here, patched up as of this morning (kernel 141415-10). The system is running with hardware-mirrored disks, via the LSI MegaRAID controller, a PERC 4e/Si. 4G of RAM, one dual-core 3.4GHz CPU. The system is a simple mail hub, and it does the task very well. Most files exist only very briefly, and thus rarely touch the

Anyone have any experience with a R510 with the PERC H200/H700 controller with ZFS? My perception is that Dell doesn''t play well with OpenSolaris. Thanks, Geoff

Hello All, I encountered the same problem as reported to this list earlier, http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2009-February/048305.html, but then with 7.1-RELEASE-p4. Interestingly enough, FreeBSD booted fine on the machine installed (updated from 7.0 to 7.1-RELEASE-p4). This machine is a PowerEdge 1850 bios A04 with Perc 43/Si bios H430 / fwVer 521S. When booting a drive

we have several R900 servers with PERC 6/E card in it. Recently it we getting some message on /var/log/message say change to "write back" and change back to "write through". We figure out it is PERC 6/E card battery weak. My questions are: 1. some battery only use one year (some even shorter) and already this problem. 2. How come PERC 5/E does not have this issue? 3.

All, I seem to be experiencing the same problem that Michal Urbanski talked about in an email dated March 24th with a subject of "hanging dell hardware". Looking through the archives I can not find any resolution to the problem. The specs on my machine are Dell Poweredge 1850 Dual Xeon 2.8s 1gig ram PERC 4e/SI raid controller in mirror configuration with 2 73 gb drives (uses the

Does anyone know if a PERC H200 is a real RAID controller? I'm about to build a box to CentOS 6.5 (it was Windows...) with RAID 6 on Monday, and this PE R610 has this.... I'm familiar with PERC 6 and 7s, but just dunno 'bout this one. mark

Hi folks: At work, I have an R510, and R610 and an R710 - all with the H700 PERC controller. Based on experiments, it seems like there is no way to bypass the PERC controller - it seems like one can only access the individual disks if they are set up in RAID0 each. This brings me to ask some questions: a. Is it fine (in terms of an intelligent controller coming in the way of ZFS) to have the

Hello, I'm curiuos if anyone knows if it's possible to set up a Dell R515 (which has PERC H700) to be JBOD. It seems the only options are RAID0 or RAID1. I read posts, where people say it can by done by making each disk its own RAID0.? This works, but it wigs out when that disk is removed, and forgets a disk was ever there (unless I go back in the PERC and fix it). My plan is to have a

Hi, The server is running CentOS 5.8 Linux OS on Dell PowerEdge R710 having raid controller card 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic /Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 2108 [Liberator] (rev 05) /usr/sbin/smartctl -a /dev/sda smartctl version 5.38 [x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu] Copyright (C) 2002-8 Bruce Allen Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Device: DELL PERC H700 Version: 2.10 DELL

We are currently running CentOS 4.5 on older Dell Systems. We are upgrading to Dell PowerEdge 1950 with a PERC 6/i raid controller. CentOS 4.5 installation does not see the PERC 6/i controller. Dell and LSI Logic only support RHEL 4U6 and higher and SuSe. I've tried building the boot images with the new driver for installation but kickstart still doesn't see the raid controller.

Hello, Is the dell perc 4dc raid card supported by centos 4 and does it work reliably? thanks Jon

Hello, This afternoon I wanted to upgrade to 7.1 two good old dell PowerEdge servers which were running FreeBSD 6.x. It went fine and quickly on the poweredge 1950, but it failed completely on the poweredge 1850.

I'm trying to use the Dell/Redhat CLI to manage a pair of mirrored disks in a Dell PowerEdge 2650 but I get: FASTCMD> open afa0 Executing: open "afa0" Command Error: <The driver could not execute the requested IOCTL SENDFIB, 22=Invalid argument.> I have "options AAC_COMPAT_LINUX" in the kernel config and dmesg shows: aac0: <Dell PERC 3/Di> mem

We're looking for tools to be used in monitoring the PERC H800 arrays on a set of database servers running CentOS 5.5. We've installed most of the OMSA (Dell monitoring) suite. Our current alerting is happening through SNMP, though it's a bit hit or miss (we apparently missed a couple of earlier predictive failure alerts on one drive). OMSA conflicts with mega-cli, though we may

I am trying to help a friend with a 2850 and snmp monitoring of a controller and its arrays. I don't have any dells, do they have a rpm to make easy work of this for the Percs? They have a monitoring solution already. Any hints I could pass on would be appreciated! Thanks, jlc

Hello Sa?o! I found you here: http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/zfs-discuss/2012-May/051546.html "How about reflashing LSI firmware to the card? I read on Dell''s spec sheets that the card runs an LSISAS2008 chip, so chances are that standard LSI firmware will work on it. I can send you all the required bits to do the reflash, if you like." I got Dell Perc H310 controller

I've got two drives from a now-dead server, they were RAIDed, a mirror, I'd assume. I need to see if there's anything on them I need to transfer to the replacement, so I just shoved them into another Dell server, with a PERC 5 controller - I think that's what the dead one had. I fired up MegaRAID storage manager... but can't see any way to tell it to recreate that RAID. Anyone

I would like to integrate * with an existing Altigen PBX. I want to spend as little money as possible to make it happen. My main goal is to inexpensively connect a branch office to the phone system. Eventually I would like to replace the Altigen system with an Asterisk server so I don't want to spend any money on Altigen hardware. Currently the Altigen has analog interfaces with a couple
