similar to: Device: DELL PERC H700 Version: 2.10 DELL PERC controllers are not supported

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

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

Hi all, I have a server which is really difficult to restart because of usage requirements and the fact that it's in a co-lo rack so miles away. I've added a couple of drives which I'd like to bring up and add to LVM but the config I know is in the PERC BIOS and requires a reboot. Can the config be changed in the openmanage suite and if so can someone point me in the right

I use xen 4.0(dom0 is suse11.sp1,2.6.32 x86_64) on Dell R710 with PERC H700 RAID adapter. --Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5620 @ 2.40GHz --8 CPU cores. --Memory 64G --RAID5 4.5T When I dedicated (pin) a CPU core only for dom0 use. (I specify "dom0_max_vcpus=1 dom0_vcpus_pin" options for Xen) I got dom0 kernel panic error(pin-1-5.30.bmp) When I pin 2 core to dom0, the dom0 system can boot up,

last night I checked the log messages on the server Dell PE2950 6xSAS 146G I found the smartd running , I did not request such daemon [root at PowerEdge1 pons]# tail -f /var/log/messages Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Home page is http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1 smartd[8039]: Opened configuration file /etc/smartd.conf Aug 25 08:27:30 PowerEdge1

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

smartctl, hdparm, and sdparm all are valuable tools to obtain hard drive info. But, they don't seem to work, at least, on obtaining hard drive info from drives on a Dell PERC controller. Instead, I'm given basic PERC controller info, not drive info. Is there a tool to let me get the hard drive make/model/serial numbers from a hardware RAID setup? Thanks. Scott

Hello, I noticed the default megaraid_sas driver version in upstream Linux 2.6.32.25 is pretty old, version 4.01, and it seems to be very buggy. It fails to bring up disks and boot fails. Many people have reported this issue on various hardware using LSI RAID adapters, and on various Dell servers (R310/R410/R510/R710) using Dell PERC H700 RAID adapters (which are rebranded LSI adapters).

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.

I?m looking for advice and considerations on how to optimally setup and deploy an NFS-based home directory server. In particular: (1) how to determine hardware requirements, and (2) how to best setup and configure the server. We actually have a system in place, but the performance is pretty bad---the users often experience a fair amount of lag (1--5 seconds) when doing anything on their home

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
