PowerEdge 2950 SAS disk capacities

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Can someone confirm the disk and volume limits I'd have on a 2950 (the original version) with a PERC 5/i when using 3.5 SAS disks? - - Can I stick 600GB disks in one? - - What limits are there on array sizes (can I stick 6 x 600GB disks in a RAID-5

RE: PowerEdge 2950 SAS disk capacities

The largest currently supported SAS drives are 600GB. There is a limit for RAIDs/Virtual Disks but that is merely theoretical and can't be met with just 6x HDDs. But with 6x 600GB HDD in a RAID5 you will not see the full 3TB in OS because the 600GB have only around 550GB net capacity. Jens

2850 very slow cp compared to identical hardware

We just had the PCI riser replaced on a 2850 because the embedded PERC 4 had failed. While reloading the Oracle applications, the DBA reported that 17Gb copy that took 10 minutes on the development server with identical hardware and software (to the extent possible), took over an hour on the prod

iSCSI - Could not match iface[hw=00:0C:29:44:44:21,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth1] to host.

Hi, I am running into an issue when trying to configure multipath connections to a iSCSI target in CentOS 5.5. When I configure my interface files in /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces/ and try to do a discovery I am not getting multiple connections. Trying to do discovery using a specific interface

RE: iSCSI - Could not match iface[hw=00:0C:29:44:44:21,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth1] to host.

I just tried this on my RHEL5.5 box and I couldn't reproduce this issue. I think you are trying to hand create the iface files instead of letting iscsiadm create the iface file for you and probably the discover db is corrupted I think it would be a good idea to delete the discovered node and

H800 CLI location?

I can't seem to find the linux cli tools for managing the H800 controller anymore; I used to just go to a server that came with one and could grab it from the raid sas category but nothing there currently for an R900 and redhat. Thanks, David ___

5A2D BIOS H433 and the fast one has fw 516A and BIOS H418. RAID adapter and container settings match across systems, as do e2fstune -l Just to confirm; same cache settings for each volume? BTW, the 8th gen PERC4 firmware seems to somehow be related to drive firmware (flashes the drives when

Re: R610 and R710 fail to install BIOS update, CentOS 5

I have similar problem with R610 and the latest BIOS update PER610_BIOS_LX_2.2.10.BIN This version 2.2.10 is not included yet into either yum repository or the lifecycle controller (F10 on system startup), so I could not try other ways to upgrade. As per Jeff's suggestion, I have extracted files
