Power edge R910 question

$

0

Hi,

We have a Poweredge R910 and we want to install the Administror Management software on this server, but when run the setup we see a page that says: Loading prerequisite information. Please wait...
But after that nothing heppens. is it possible instead run the SysMgmt.msi? We did try to run this msi and get a warnning that we should run the prerequisite first and we can ignor this an go ahead with install.

we did download OM-SrvAdmin-Dell-Web-WIN-7.4.0-866_A00

is this the right version? we now that our system is 64 bit so can we just run the SysMgmt.msi?

Thanks


MD3000/MD1000 EMM Failure in Unknown

$

Hello,

I have an MD3000 (enclosure 0) with a MD1000 expansion shelf (enclosure 1).  Intermittently the fans will spin up for anywhere from 5 seconds to a couple of minutes.  On the MD1000 the status lights blink orange one EMM then the other.  MDSM reports "Enclosure 1 EMM failure in Unknown".  It will then correct itself with no intervention.  There is no loss of communication or performance impact. 

I have now replaced every item (including the chassis) in the MD1000 except the drives and cables and still get this intermittent issue multiple times a day.

Any advice on how to further diagnose or what action I should take would be appreciated.

SAS 5 E card not detecting

$

Hello All,

We have an MD3000 storage server connected to a PE2950 server, which was working fine for alst 7.5 years. But 2 days back it seems we are unable to see the volumes in the PE2950 server. When checked deeply, we can see the SAS 5E card itself is not getting detected in the server. I have tried removing and putting back, on different slotes etc. but no luck. 

In 2950 server, we are using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and use lsiutil for normal troubleshooting and all. As it is not detecting by the raid bios or OS, can't use the lsiutil for troubleshooting..

My question is, how can I confirm the card is faulty and get it replaced?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

we have a power edge r910 with PREC H700 that has 2 Connectors, Connector 0 and Connector 1.

In the Storage manager I can see that all of the 10 physical Disks are connected to the Connector 0 and different RAID's has been confiured.

We want to add 6 more disks to this server and create 2 RAID 5 in groups of 3 disks. can we use the Connector 1 instead of the connector 0 for this new Disks?

Thanks

Hi, I have a 1Gb WAN that connects 2 sites (20mi appart). At each site I have a MD3600i with several VMs.

Is there a simple way that I can transfer the VM images from on MD to the other? And/or can I replicate?

 

This can all be done at night.

Trouble With 2012 R2 Failover Cluster

$

0

Hello,

I have 2 PowerEdge R530 servers connected via SAS to an MD1420.

My goal is to set up a failover cluster in Windows 2012 R2 using the MD1420 as the shared storage. However, I cannot seem to get the disks in the 1420 to appear within the Windows failover manager.

I have OpenManage set up on both servers. The Perc H830 adapter is set to RAID mode, and there are no virtual disks created within OpenManage.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you much.

PowerVault Critical Error message

I have recently noticed that one of my PowerVaults has an Amber Light flashing on the front LED display. I have checked OpenManage Essentials and when I go into Dashboard it shows the PowerVault with a red "X" stating Critical.

I have checked the logs and I cannot find anything other than the following warning below....

Device Model: MD3200

ConstructAppLaunchMenuItem() - No App Launch Points Available.

Just for additional information I have an identical unit with the same firmware etc. that is operating and showing Health Status.

Any help would be appreciated!

MD3660i - Firmware file missing from Dell Download

$

Hi,

My MD3660i is currently running 08.20.12.60. When I download the 08.20.18.60 update from the Dell website and extract it, I get a number of sub folders. One of which is the MD3660i_Firmware_Package_08_20_18_60. Inside this folder there are two files MD3660f_Firmware_Package_08_20_18_60.dlp and MD3660i_NVSRAM_N26X0_820890_908.dlp

I thought this may just have been an issue with the 08.20.18.60 update, however, it seems to be the same with the 08.20.16.60 update. Am I missing something of have Dell released dodgy updates?

Screenshot attached so you can see what I am on about.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Peter

Hi,


I have a client who need to use the port 587 with authentication for using the SMTP notification for his SAN.

I'm affraid that we can't do this with the Powervault Modular Disk Storage Manager. Can anyone confirm that?

He use the version 11.20.0G06.0015 if there is new version with this support.


Thanks in advance for your answer.

SAS Controller Card Connecting to MD3000

Hello. Will the Dell 0XM768 Perc 5E PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller Card work with an MD3000? I've got it connected (and believe that I see the HBA host port) but it won't see the drives. I've been reading that the PERC card won't work but this does state it's for SAS.

MD3400 and NTP

$

Hi,

I'm trying to setup NTP on the 2 RAID controllers in a MD3400.

According to the documentation i could find, my CLI command line should look like this:

EDIT:

Copy/pasted the wrong command :(

smcli 10.0.0.10 -c "set controller[0] NTPServers=("10.192.0.100" "10.192.0.101");"
Performing syntax check...

Encountered "NTPServers" at line 1, column 33.
Was expecting one of:
    "availability" ...
    "NVSRAMByte" ...
    "batteryInstallDate" ...
    "globalNVSRAMByte" ...
    "hostNVSRAMByte" ...
    "rloginEnabled" ...
    "ethernetPort" ...
    "serviceMode" ...
    "serviceAllowedIndicator" ...
    "gatewayIp" ...
    "IPV4GatewayIP" ...
    "IPV6RouterAddress" ...
    "iscsiHostPort" ...


SMcli failed.

Obviously I've missed something or doing something wrong, but I can't for the life of me figure out what/why?
