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'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 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Hello and apologies for being off-topic, but this is my last option! I've been looking for a PERC simulator to help with training, but for the life of me, I cannot find it anywhere on the internet! I even called Dell to see if they can offer me a download link to no avail. I know there is one somewhere as I've seen screenshots of it *[0]*! If anyone has it and is willing to help,

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

Subject: [Sharing] CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server is Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server Good day from Singapore, I have just installed CentOS 8.2 (2004) Linux Server on Dell PowerEdge R640 1U Server for "Donald Trump and Xi Jinping Investment Company LLP" (fictitious/fictional company name used) in Singapore on 11 August 2020 Tuesday. I can confirm that CentOS 8.2

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'm having an issue install FreeBSD 10.0 on a Dell PowerEdge w/ the Perc H730P raid controller. I see there has been support added for the controller in the stable version using the mrsas driver. But when I boot up in the installer... it is still trying to use the older mfi driver. How do I get the installer to properly recognize the raid controller? Are there any logs I can provide to help

Does anyone out there have experience running RedHat 5.2 with Samba on a Dell PERC raid controller? I'm looking for more information. Thanks! John Rauch Clark Nuber, P.S.

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'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 have an older Dell PowerEdge server with one hard drive, with CentOS 7 currently installed. I wanted to do a clean install of CentOS 8, but it doesn't pick up the hard drive. When I click on the destination to pick the hard drive it only shows the USB drive that I'm installing from. I checked for a RAID configuration on the server, but there is only one disk, and no RAID is configured.
