similar to: Dell PowerEdge R920 w/ Perc H730P

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

Hi, We bought a new Dell PowerEdge 2950III with Perc 6/i and have the disk geometry problem using 6.3 final or 7.0 RC1. Seems that we are not alone at least one guy has similar problem reported earlier: http://unix.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/FreeBSD/questions/2008-01/msg00506.html I was reading the mailing list and found that some of the people are happily using this hardware with the latest

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 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.

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

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

I am looking at using a dual Xeon Dell 1850 with a PERC 4e/Si raid controller. Is anyone using these in production right now? If so can you share some of your experiences? Thanks, Geoff

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

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

I am having an issue with Megacli when adding or removing virtual disks. I will post a link to fpaste that has the issue shown. In brief whenever i add, or remove, a virtual disk via MegaCli the attempt succeeds and the adapter is configured but the OS remounts dm-0 in read only. dm-0 is my root lv. This issue does not happen if i boot into the default, non Xen, CentOS kernel. On stock

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.

I know this is off-topic to the list, but someone asked me to make the information that I garnered about Dell Poweredge systems available to the list. So, here it is. Basically, after a search on dejanews, I came across this article: http://x5.dejanews.com/getdoc.xp?AN=430135686&CONTEXT=917266543.1696071777&hitnum=19 In it, someone states that there are drivers for the PERC RAID

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

This is a really long email...my apologies. Hardware platform: Dell Poweredge 1855 (blade), Dual Xeon 2.8 GHz; 12 MB RAM; PERC 4/IM; mirrored 73 GB U320 SCSI; qLogic 2312 PCI Fibre Channel HBAs. OS: (currently) CentOS 4.3, gcc 3.4.5 Software: Xen 3.0.2-2 Attempting to boot off local SCSI RAID (mirror)...not the SAN. I am more of a Solaris person, so forgive me if I don''t know all

I have a fleet of 2970s and we are upgrading the hardrives on the motherboard SATA ports (A/B not the PERC backplane) when a "detecting hardware" is performed the system crashes, reboots and gives an E1422 error code (useless video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyMeUHJar4). We narrowed it down to a motherboard BIOS issue, if we remove the SSD or add noprobe to the kernel the

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

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

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
