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 pl...

I''m trying to configure a DELL R720 (not a pleasant experience) which has an H710p card fitted. The H710p definitely doesn''t support JBOD, but the H310 looks like it might (the data sheet mentions non-RAID). Has anyone used one with ZFS? Thanks, -- Ian.

...ompleted, the same issue occurred on the server. Prior to doing the installation, I confirmed the DVD and CD media were tested and found to be valid. When I did the installation, I went with the base install along with Server, Server GUI, and Virtualization support. The server hardware is a Dell R515 system with two 500 GB SAS drives that are hardware-based RAID1 that was completely optimized prior to the software install. Has anyone experienced this issue before, and has an idea as to what is going on, and how it can be corrected? Thanks. The information in this e-mail is intended only f...

hi all, is the folliwing ok for a small cluster that will serve hundreds of virtual machines? - two DELL R515 with 12 2TB (or 3TB) SATA disks - RAID 1 between every 2 disks on each server - one brick for every RAID1 - distributed replicated clusterd between bricks. This should give me a big cluster made of 12TB Is a raid10 better then many distributed bricks? With bricks should I have more flexibility in...

Hey, I am currently considering a two machine Xen setup based on AMD Opterons, more precisely Dell R515s or R415s with dual Opteron 4274HE. Does anyone has some Xen setup(s) running on top of Opterons 4274HE, Opteron 4200 or Dell R515 machines and is willing to share some experience? In particular, I am interested in using Debian squeeze (Xen 4.0.1, Linux 2.6.32) for dom0 and most domUs. Any issues...

...s we're missing a tuning parameter that would help, but I can't find anything in the Gluster documentation -- all the tuning info I've found seems geared toward Gluster 2.x. For some background, our compute cluster has 64 compute nodes. The gluster storage pool has 10 Dell PowerEdge R515 servers, each with 12 x 2 TB disks. We have another 16 Dell PowerEdge R515s used as Lustre storage servers. The compute and storage nodes are all connected via QDR Infiniband. Both Gluster and Lustre are set to use RDMA over Infiniband. We are using OFED version 1.5.2-20101219, Gluster 3.2.2 an...

I have a Dell R710 which has been flaky for some time. It crashes about once per week. I have literally replaced every piece of hardware in it, and reinstalled Sol 10u9 fresh and clean. I am wondering if other people out there are using Dell hardware, with what degree of success, and in what configuration? The failure seems to be related to the perc 6i. For some period around the time

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
