<s>[INST] We recently updated OMEnterprise to v3.3.1, and now it is no longer receiving SNMP alerts from servers' iDRAC. We've rebooted the servers and the logs in their iDRAC reflect that, but OMEnterprise is not receiving them. I also tried sending test alerts from different iDRACs, no change. I know it's not on the iDRAC side because we've also got them sending to OMEssentials, and it is successfully receiving them. I've confirmed the SNMP settings are still present and correct. [/INST] I'm not on the new version yet but i've had all sorts of issues with SNMP alerts. Anytime i've worked with support the usual fix is to change your SNMP settings and save them in OMEnt and then change them back to your defaults and save again. Updates seem to cause OMEnt to lose the SNMP settings. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, I am looking for the simplest way to wipe my Unity array storage while keeping all my settings.

You could do that through the GUI, or script it. There is a re-initialize option in Unity but it will wipe the whole array. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello the community, I'm trying to stack 2 S3048-ON switchs using front end SFP+ fiber ports but it doesn't works. The 2 switchs are on the same OS version.

Just power-off the standby switch Connect the main and backup switch with the fiber cable Reload the main switch Once I can connect to the main switch, power-on the standby switch. Regards. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi All, Has anyone found where to change the Configuration Inventory schedule? Mine kicks off at 00:00 and is still running the next day, I could really do with changing the time to 20:00 or something and cant see anything in the GUI. Thanks in advance [/INST] It is tied to one of the Inventory jobs. Find the Config Inventory job that you are wanting to reschedule in the Jobs list. It should have a name like Config Inventory - Default Inventory Task. The second half of the name is the inventory job that it is associated with.

Choose to Edit the job and you should see a checkbox to enable Additionally run config inventory. That option is what enables config inventory.

<s>[INST] I have an Isilon NAS, and I would like different machines to be able to access different segments of the storage (volumes, NFS shares, for example). Example: Machine A should only have network access to the volume/share called Foo.Machine B should only have network access to the volume/share called Bar.

<s>[INST] Is it possible to spin up a separate data collector VM and install DPA "agent only" on it within the IDPA VM environment? And is it supported? Customer is using DDBEA/DDboost for DB backups and wants to implement job activity reporting with IDPA - however, the scale of the number of servers that will be reported on (and the job data reported relative to the number of instances and databases) is fairly large, so for ease of management and also to offload the collection work, we are thinking of a secondary collector system running the DPA "agent only". All comments/feedback appreciated - thanks. [/INST] While that is a creative idea, unfortunately Dell does NOT support ANY additional/customer VMs added in the IDPA vCenter. One option that IS supported which may address some concerns is- separate Management and Data networks. Details of how to configure that is available, based on the IDPA model. The best place to check first is the Installation and/or Administration and/or Product Guides for your DPA version. These can be found by searching Dell Support and selecting the reference for your version. If this is useful please give KUDOS. thanks </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, We have an isilon system that is providing home directories via SMB and also NFS automounts to a few Redhat servers. User mapping is working for everyone and our usernames match between AD and LDAP We have many users who can access their home directories via SMB or when logging in to one of the linux hosts by SSH except one guy. The closest I can get him to functioning correctly is to add the ACLs with the chmod +a command but that breaks his SSH shared keys. When I compare permissions from a working user to the broken one the only difference I can find is that the working home directories are typically owned by the Domain user but only have POSIX permissions. The broken homedir is awned by the LDAP user. I am not certain that this is the problem. Adding the Domain user as the directory owner automatically adds ACLs and makes the POSIX permissions appear as 770 with the + sign even though they do not behave that way on the NFS client. This breaks the SSH shared keys because the POSIX permissions on the homedir appear as 770 (prefer 700). Removing the ACLs with chmod -b 700 breaks SMB access. I have had this user try different Windows clients to make sure it was not his machine and have recreated his homedir but no luck. [/INST] Double-check wether the mapping for this user is actually working. Maybe it only appears to be in place due to some "lucky" circumstances.

<s>[INST] Hello! We are noticing more frequent "Disk X in Backplane 1 of Integrated RAID Controller 1 was reset" notices. We have 7 drives in a RAID6. Out of those 6 are Samsung 850s and one is a 860. The 860 was recently installed due to a failed drive. It seems like these notices have been happening since they 860 was installed but it may just be a coincidence. We get the notice for the disk that was replaced at least once a week. Less frequently, we will see the notice reference other disks as well. The notification says it is part of normal operation but the frequency of it has us a bit concerned. All seems to be running just fine, though. Any thoughts? Can this truly be ignored or is this a sign of something more serious? We are using a PERC H710 Mini. Firmware is 21.3.5-0002 (latest). [/INST] Is physical disk 5 the 860? Your log has a lot of entries on disk 5 for SAS discovery. It looks like the drive isn't responding to discovery, the PERC times out, then we see the internal device reset. for port 0. I'd hazard a guess that most of your drives are going to be connected to port 0, so when that port gets reset to try to complete the discovery event repeating in the logs it would affect logs for the other disks. I'm not seeing anything that would normally jump out as a concern, though. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I recently successfully migrated from OpenManage Essentials to OpenManage Enterprise and have discovered all the servers via their iDracs. However, I'm unsure how OpenManage Administrator ver 9 (OMSA), that is running on each server can integrate with Enterprise? I can see how OpenManage integrated into Essentials, so apologies if I'm missing the obvious. Does it integrate via being able to discover via SNMP and using the servers community name, as specified on its SNMP service? (as this sadly fails on Enterprise but works on Essentials and the Dell EMC Troubleshooting Tool can also discover the server via SNMP). I ask because some log oversize alerts from the OpenManage Administrator v9 (OMSA) do not appear as alerts in the Dracs or within OpenManage Enterprise 3.2.1. Kind regards Dell OpenManage Enterprise = Version 3.2.1 (Build 29)Dell EMC OpenManage Systems Management Software (64-Bit) Version 9.1.0. **Or is it true that Enterprise can not communicate with Administrator?

Nikolai [/INST] Hello everybody, after two years I've finally found the root cause of this issue: I've replaced the default Dell's coolers (11k RPM) with a less noisy Sunon one. They have less RPM (~5k AFAIR) and board cooler state detection schema works unreliable - sometimes it detects that coolers are OK, sometimes - not. As a result the fan led was blinking red-to-green constantly. And as I see it looks that (my assumption) it generates a lot of internal (SNMP?) events (journal logs?) that eats up the memory quite quickly. What I did - simply disconnected the sensor wire for all coolers. Now fan LED is red all the time, but for me it's not a problem. No memory leak. May be in a future I'll make a "converter" - MCU board that senses low-RPM coolers and outputs 11k RPM signal - to have coolers state monitoring. Hope it helps other people Nikolai </s>

<s>[INST] Hi. I acquired older PowerEdge 2950 server 2003 R2 with a PERC 6/i RAID controller at an auction. The server originally had 145GB SAS15K (rpm) drives but were previously removed. I installed two Seagate 3 TB Constellation drives but they wont work. Setup shows the drives are present but "Failed" and will not let me configure them. The controller firmware by the BIOS Config utility is 1.22.52-1989, Package is 6.3.3.0002. This seems to be the latest (that I could find). The drive LEDs blink green regularly and yellow rapidly. Does anyone know if there a size limitation on the drives or is it just a firmware/manufacturer issue? I have no server knowledge but trying to learn Also, I need the original OS which should have been server 2003 R2 standard, 64 bit I think... Thanks [/INST] There are a lot of issues with what you are doing. I have heard of people using an H700 in a 2950. It is not supported, and I don't know what you would need to do to make it work. Since the 2950 does not have UEFI, you will need to create a 2TB or smaller boot drive for the OS. Data drives/virtual disks can be larger. You should also research file systems. There will be file system limitations when using BIOS boot mode. I think those limits are only on the boot drive/VD, but I can't recall with certainty. My suggestion, buy an 11th generation or newer server. I bought an R710 for ~$250 off ebay a couple of years ago. You can probably find 12th generation servers for that price now. Every generation of server is more energy efficient than the last. With a newer server you will have to deal with less issues trying to make modern hardware/software work on it, and you will probably save enough money in power and cooling costs to pay for the cost of the newer server in a few months. </s>

<s>[INST] I have a disk in a raid 10 virtual disk that is failing. The physical disk caddy has an amber light on it and in the perc display it shows with an orange yield sign with an exclamation mark in it. I assume that means it is failing even though it is still running and not yet degrading the virtual disk. I have a new spare now to replace it. I don't have a spare slot in the chassis. If I did I would insert the new disk, make it a hot spare for the virtual disk, then pull the failing disk. Since I don't have a spare slot. what is the best way to approach this. In other words, do which series of commands in which order? Do I just take the failing disk off line, pull it, replace with new, mark it as hot spare?

<s>[INST] Good day for all! I have MX7000 system with two MX740c blades.They all have latest firmware installed. OMM Version 1.10.10 (Build A00.726). I'm facing strange behavior when trying to create profile for sled. It has 2 mezzanine cards, one is QLogic 2x25GE QL41262HMKR CNA and another is QME2742 FC mezzanine. When I'm trying to create template using this sled as reference device and all parameters are checked, all NIC MACs and FC WWNs were captured as well. [IMAGE]Creating template with all parameters checked [IMAGE]FC parameters captured But I don't want to capture RAID configuration, so I unchecked this parameter when create another template. [IMAGE]RAID parameters are unchecked And then I got template without ANY FC parameters! [IMAGE]RAID = FC??!! Does it mean DELL equals words RAID and FC? Why? They are not the same! RAID option is for local disk configuration when FC is responsive for Fibre Channel Network communication as well NIC config is responsive for Ethernet Network communication. Moreover, it does have impact on deploying template. To check this I tried to deploy template with RAID config captured and it deploys well with both NIC and FC virtual identities assigned from pool: [IMAGE] What's the problem then, may you say. The problem is because of RAID configuration included it will re-create internal RAID array trashing all data on it. It is not desirable behavior when you want to just apply server profile to get old MAC-addresses and WWNs when migrating him to another slot when device stops working or needs maintenance. OK, trying to deploy template without RAID configuration - FC identities trashed out. [IMAGE] So the main question is why it is possible to capture only NIC configuration in template but not only FC? Any thoughts? [/INST] Well, Dell support replied that it's known problem in software and it will be fixed in a future releases. Have a nice day. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi all, We have already uploaded signed certificate from private CA.We are having our iDRAC scanned for security vulnerabilities by Qualys.Our iDRAC is on a network segregated from the production network by ACLs. We granted Qualys access to scan iDRAC in order to keep compliant with PCI-DSS and FIPS requirements.Qualys is reporting the certificate is not trusted. Our browsers trust our private CA, but PCI requirements won't allow Qualys to trust our private CA.Our only solution is to upload our CA bundle to the iDRAC. As per TLS spec, server certificates can include the CA bundle in the same file in the following format:server certificate, then intermediate CA, then root CA. So there would be 3 BEGIN CERTIFICATE lines and 3 END CERTIFICATE lines. I did successfully integrate the 3 certificates into one file in the above format. But the iDRAC indicates that the certificate is invalid and to check it in OpenSSL. I was able to verify the certificate in OpenSSL without issues. Please advise how we can upload all 3 certificates.

<s>[INST] I know this is an old box, but it was running fine a month ago. I am attempting to use this for a home lab. I have tried minimum boot configuration, full configuration (as it was last running), and everything in between. The system begins to POST, but never goes further than about 20% of the progress bar. What I find interesting is that I can find nothing about a green LED on the PERC 6i card which blinks ~ on 1 second, off 1 second, etc. On the PCB next to this LED is white screenprinting reading "HEARTBEAT_ERROR" and I cannot find anything related to this. The boot process includes the full-rev on fans, which then settle down, the DVD has power, the populated 2.5" drives power up and doe the usual LED light show, then settle to solid green, and nothing further occurs. Removing any of the drives throws an error on the display screen, same for power supplies. It will not power up at all is the PERC riser card is not inserted, or if there is no memory. What else should I look into? Specifically interested in the green LED on the PERC card. [/INST] I think what I would want to do is get the server to the minimum to POST, power it up, and see what happens. You should be able to remove the PERC without issue, just not the riser it sits in. Min to post for this unit is as follows: ?System board ?Risers?Processor (CPU1) with Heatsink?Power Supply?One stick of memory in dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot A1?Control Panel with cable Everything else (including the troublesome PERC) can get pulled. You might also look at flashing the iDRAC firmware from iDRAC Settings > Firmware Update, since the iDRAC would work with the BIOS. If it still won't POST, I'd be looking at the system board for replacement. As a point of clarification, when you said that it wouldn't start without the PERC riser, were you removing the PERC PCI card and it's riser? Or were you referring to the PERC as a riser itself? Don't want to recommend anything you'e already done, after all. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, I bought a T320 recently, and the firmwares were very outdates (iDRAC, RAID, Network...) so I updated all firmwares and when I arrived into the iDRAC (2.63.60), I realized that the "Storage" menu displayed a "RAC0503" issue.

Upon checking the features through the web interface I noticed Energy Efficient Ethernet (802.3az/EEE) is off for ports 21-28. I tried to enable it but the switch did not allow it. On the CLI I get following output when I list the green features: Port 21 to 28 show "Not supported"? Yet the user manual (June 2017 Rev A04) clearly states the following (page 642): All integrated 1G and module-based 10G copper ports on Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches are capable of utilizing the Energy Detect and EEE modes for reduced power consumption. Is this a bug in the firmware or an undocumented hardware limitation? [/INST] Hi, On that switch ports 5-20 support green ethernet. Page 70 [URL] </s>

<s>[INST] Hi guys, We have VNX5100 system connected to database system. Storage configuration, total disk 60. Disk type - 600GB 15K SAS only. My question, is there any impact if the host IOPS recorded via Performance Data Logging (.nar) exceeded IOPS from my calculation. For an example, from .nar , host IOPS max recorded is 12,000 but from my calculation, total host IOPS for my storage is 8,000. My calculation for storage IOPS is obtained from VNX Capacity Calculator. From .nar files, my response time average 15ms below. Latency average is below 10ms. But my concern is queue length across both SPs which average is over 10, max at 32. Does it effect my system since user complained about lagging and timeout? [/INST] sure - if you go above the performance capabilities of a config the the response time increases the IOPS info from Capactiy Calculator is just a very rough calculation - it doesnt take into account a lot of the details that are important </s>

<s>[INST] Hi So we just bought a Dell R240 with a new Windows Server 2019 installed in it. This server have 4 HDDs 1TB each. Upon checking on the drives, it's only displaying Local Disk C (1TB). So my question now is, how can I see those other 3 drives? I'm planning to install Active Directory on this server.Any help is really much appreciated. Thanks, Carl [/INST] Hello There are a lot of possibilities. You should review the current configuration. The most likely scenario is that the drives are configured in a RAID 10. If that is not the RAID level that you want then you will probably need to delete and recreate the virtual disk. That would be data destructive, you would need to reinstall the OS. [URL] Thanks </s>

<s>[INST] I have an EqualLogic PS6100, which is out of warranty and we are unable to source replacement drives for. We have recently purchased a new EMC SCV3000, which will replaced the older unit. We are in the process of moving all VM's and data out of the PS6100, but this will take many months to accomplish. Our issue is that we have one drive, in slot #5, who's Disk Status is "Yellow" and reporting "Not Approved" and it's Health is reporting "Not Available." This disk is an original disk of the system, to my knowledge. In slot #22 we have a disk who's Disk Status is "Blue" and reporting "Spare" and it's Health is reporting "Healthy." It is my understanding that when the PS6100 sees a failed disk and has a spare on hand, it will automatically make the spare a RAID member. This does not appear to be the situation in our case. My first thought was to swap the drives, however I have also read of warnings about removing disks from the PS6100 and that it could lead to data failure. Does anyone have any experience with a failed drive who might be able to advise me on the correct path to take? Thanks in advance - Eric [/INST] Hello Eric, A "Not approved" message indicates that drive is NOT an EQL approved drive. You can remove it without impacting the RAIDset. It sounds like you are running RAID50? Since there should be two spares in that case. Sounds like the RAID status is healthy so there's no need to bring the other spare into the RAIDset.

<s>[INST] Hi, a few weeks ago (less than a month) I installed 2x R710 server for internal purposes. Both have the same hardware configuration and running Windows 2019 LTSC. Each server is equipped with a H700 controller and a raid10 consiting of 4x 6TB (non Dell blessed) Seagate HDDs. All firmwares are the latest available. In the first week the servers running fine. One day I noticed a dramatically READ performance drop. The avarage read speed was arround 1MB/s while the write speed still reached the max performance. Strange, this phenomenom appeared nearly eaqually on both server. Because I've formatted the raid volume with ReFS my first thought was a bug with the filesystem. So I decided kill the raid and rebuilt it again, now with NTFS. Time goes by and this weekend the same issue appeared. Again nearly at the same time on both server. This time I investigated a little more and checked the file system, raid/hdd error messages an so on. But I did'nt found any indication. While a copy job was still running on one server, reading data from the volume, I decided to start a consitency chek on the raid volume (the first time!). At the moment I started the process the read speed jumps to (nearly) max again and the issue disappeared. I tested this on the 2nd server and again with exactily the same behaviour. Needless to say that the consistency checks both finished without any error. Any ideas? [/INST] I guess I've found the problem. The problem has something to do with Read Patrol and is reproducible on both servers. The read performance drops appearing while a Read Patrol task is running. The reason a constistency check solve the issue is that a consistency check cancels a running Read Patrol task. Although I don't know why this happen on this servers my solution is to disable the automatic Read Patrol and perform a consistency check twice a month. That is good enough for the purpose of these servers. </s>

<s>[INST] Dear Engineers I have two storage Unity 600 and We have launched a replication between these two storages.I want to unplug the destination storage device and connect it to some hosts separately and mount VMFS volumes for some reason. Anyways, I have stopped replication and even marked the destination LUN's as read/write again with this command in "Unisphere Cli", (uemcli /stor/prov/luns/lun -id set -replDest no ) But while I have completely disabled synchronization and also made LUNs Writable again, the virtual infrastructure does not recognize the allocated spaces as VMFS Datastore and recognizes them as new device and wants to format space for new datastore. do you guys have any idea about how i can stop the replication and use destination LUNs as VMFS datastore again ? thanks [/INST] Here is the Answer. you have to every Replicated or Disaster Recovered LUN has it own Signature so you have to mount the volume manually. so, Stop the replication between LUNs, no matter you do it from source or destination, just break the Replication. If you double click on the "REPLICATED LUN" on the destination storage, in the "REPLICATION Tab" you will find the warning about replicating or something. you have to remove the replication tag from the destination LUN, for doing that you have to use Unisphere CLI. (uemcli /stor/prov/luns/lun -id set -replDest no ) you can find the LUN ID using show (uemcli /stor/prov/luns/lun show) LUN is ready, if you get back to replication tab of destination LUN you will find the REPLICATION BUTTON and that's mean the LUN is ready to mount. SSH to one of the ESXi Hosts and use command blow to find the LUN you want to mount: esxcfg-volume ?l You can keep the LUN signature if you want just mount and check, but if you wanna use it in new environment its better to re signature it with -r command. So lets mount: esxcfg-volume ?M uuid/lable sorry for bad english/ </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, all. I've got 2 S60's running FTOS 8.3.3.8 as replacements to some 5248s. I had assumed that, from a default config that all ports would be in the same domain, but I can't get connectivity between a dell server on port 0 and the gateway connected on port 43... [Ubiquiti Pro8:eth1] (192.168.88.1/24) <--> [S60:port43] (192.168.88.231/24) [S60:port0] <--> Dell r710 (192.168.88.21/24) The Pro8's eth1 port has 192.168.88.1/24. I have assigned an IP to the S60's port 43 (192.168.88.231). I'm able to telnet to the switch from the Pro8, so the connection to port 43 is working. I cannot ping the r710 from either the gateway or the switch itself, and I can't ping out from the r710. When I move the r710's connection from the switch directly into eth1 on the Pro8, network connectivity works. Therefore, it looks like the switch is the culprit? I didn't factory reset the switch when I got it. There is a 10-net mgmt IP that is not used by us. Theoretically, all switch ports should be visible to all others unless they're segmented by VLANs, right? I'm not sure what in this config is missing or miscounfigured where ports 0 and 1 can't communicate to the Pro8. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

<s>[INST] Hello, I'm a current user switching from HP management to Dell Management and I'm currently very unhappy with the result. While it's no unicorn and rainbow at HP, at least the tools work. Now, my current struggle is with DellBIOSProvider. At first, this tool is lacking any documentation (pretty much like most of dell tools). But beside that, there's no real installation or requirement. So while looking at the sample script (which, the one coding these seems to have basic knowledge of Powershell), I manage to create my own script that call DellBIOSProvider. Everything work on the OEM image. Yay. Let's do that in WinPE 10 now. Oh, nothing work, lots of error about missing smbios:. Let's ty the Load-DellBiosProvider cmdlet that's include with it. No error, great, I guess no message mean everythings good? Try again, no go, same errors. While looking on the internet, I finally found that it require either HAPI or OMCI. 2 Things that again, I fail to find any up to date information about it. HAPI, I find older Dell Command Configure information that send me to installation path of DCC in the x86_64 folder looking for HAPIinstall.bat file. Well, file doesn't exist and nothing short of near that. Ah yeah, it's DCC 4.2.1.568, you know, the one that doesn't work out of the box because it failed to installed required dependencies while not listing these on the website or the "installation instruction"? So, back to the root folder of DCC, there'S a installhapi.bat file. Launch that, file not found. Look at the script, it's trying to launch %0%\..\..\x86_64\hapiinstall.bat. Clearly, someone did copy paste, tried nothing. Ok, go back to x86_64 folder. Bunch of bat file for WinPE offline install, 3 dll and cctk.exe. Ok, let's try the offline install. Check the little doc, it want to create it from pe scratch. Install ADK, launch, errors.... Ok, I'll do it myself. Looking at the script, the only thing it does is copy the content of x86_64 to mount\command configure\x86_64 and add wmi in the startup script. This won't fix my issue. So, does anyone have a 2019 ways to get DellBIOSProvider to work so I can configure my bios password and bios configuration?

<s>[INST] I've just bought (from ebay) a T320 with a non redundant 350w PSU and the PSU fan is very noisy as if it has no thermal control and is just set to max speed. This is not "it's failing" noise, it's just "it's running at high rpm" noise. The rest of the box looks fine and seems to work fine. The fan is certainly much louder than my T320s with dual 495w redundant PSUs when they are idling along ... and I think it's noticeably louder than when they are working at a normal level. The system board fan is fine... spins up when expected... drops down to a low speed/noise when expected ... so no problem there that I can see. Bios settings are performance per watt but don't seem to make a difference and I disabled C1E at one stage as I'd seen a comment about that somewhere. I've run it up through LCC and also to the installed OS and left it running for 30 minutes and no change at all. I've also run it up without disks (it has 4 x 1TB SATA disks installed on S110) The plan was to buy a box for non-critical low load test office work that would be nice and quiet, so maybe I've made a mistake. The person I bought it from said that the fan had always been that way. So the question is... what should I expect ... is it expected that the PSU fan will always run at full speed whatever the loading ... or should the PSU fan speed be related to load/temperature. TIA for your time and any comments Steve [/INST] Hi Steve, To answer your question, the PSU does not have any control of the fan speed on load or temperature. </s>

The issue was that the SAS Interface card in one of the two connected VMWare host servers had failed. To identify which one, if you look at my server connection image it was slot 6 of "Server 1". [IMAGE] To summarize for anyone who is running into this issue in the future -1. check the cable connections - if those are ok... 2. swap cables around to see if you can identify a bad cable - if those are ok... 3. If you have a DRAC, login and check the storage interfaces. This is what identified the issue for me - in one of the servers (server 1), only 1 of the 2 storage interfaces was still showing, in our other server (server 2) both interfaces were showing. In hindsight, I should have done step 3 above first so I wouldn't have had to contact the remote hands team to check cables when it could have been seen if I just looked in the right place. Hope this helps anyone in the future - thanks again to the Dell team for your help in resolving this, we now have a GREEN status for this unit/system. Cheers! </s>

Otherwise, it is hard to point to a specific issue without further information. In this case, I would suggest an update and/or contact DellEMC support. </s>

<s>[INST] I have a T320 with iDRAC Enterprise, PERC H310 and a RAID-1 array. I go to Virtual Disks, and add a Consistency Check to the array's Pending Operations queue. Then I go to Pending Operations to try to force the start of the operation, and it appears that I have to reboot to invoke the operation? I cannot believe that. Do I have to do this from the command line with racadm or (?) to invoke an immediate consistency check? Thanks for any help. [/INST] Hi John, Glad you have made progress on this observation. After initiating consistency check on H310 controller, make sure system is booted to host OS. After booting to host OS only, all the background operations start running by utilizing host memory in case of H310 controller. If controller (H310) is not booted to host OS, no background operation can be progressed from Pre boot environment. </s>

<s>[INST] l have an old Dell T310 Poweredge. I would like verify my server has the latest updates of firmware, drivers, etc., and was wondering if it OK to use Dell Command Update to check for the latest updates? [/INST] Dell Command Update is not an Enterprise software tool and doesn't support the server platform. My expectation is that if you try to use Command Update, it will not work, because the associated repositories would not be accessible. I would install OpenManage Server Administrator and check your firmware manually. The things to look at would be the BIOS, iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller, RAID controller, and NIC. You can compare them against the versions on the support site for the T310. </s>

<s>[INST] I have a question about implementing cloud tier on the IDPA The IDPA comes with a 5TB Cloud Tier license and I¡¯m trying to set it up using AWS as the target. In order to enable cloud tier on the IDPA though you have to assign disk space on the DDVE for the cloud tier cache. The IDPA documentation only covers basic installation and operation and refers to the Avamar and Data Domain documentation for anything else. However, when it comes to adding disk space to the DDVE, it is not the same, since the DDVE on the IDPA is configured as a vApp and warns you not to alter it directly. My question is, what is the correct procedure for adding disk space to the cloud tier cache on the IDPA? [/INST] It turns out you don't need to manually add storage to the cloud tier cache. When you configure cloud tier on the DDVE, it automagically adds storage to the cache. Hopefully, this will save someone else spending hours trying to find the undocumented answer. </s>

<s>[INST] I haven't used the T330 before, and am considering buying one. My question is this: If I buy a T330 without a Raid controller, if I install my own SATA PCIe controller, and find four drive caddys, is there any reason I wouldn't be able to use a total of eight drives? I would like use a dumb non Raid LSI HBA SAS/SATA PCIe card to control all eight drives, or maybe four from the motherboard and four from the PCIe controller. (This is the recommended approach for FreeNAS, they suggest to avoid Raid controllers) If I find the four caddys would there be anything else I am missing? It seems there is only one model of T330 where the SATA backplane always has all eight Sata connectors, and I won't need to chase down a 4x drive cage, or another 4x SATA backplane. If I understand correctly, and everything is there, except for the SATA controller, this is a big advantage over HP, where I would have to find drive cages and maybe stub cables. Thanks for any help. Just want to confirm, [/INST] Hello I would not purchase the system with the expectation that you will be able to use an unsupported storage controller with the backplane. You will likely encounter issues attempting to use an unsupported controller attached to the backplane. The T330 only has one backplane option, it comes with an x8 3.5" backplane. It doesn't matter what configuration you order, you will have the same 8 slot backplane. The slots available will be determined by the storage controller that you are using. If you order the system set up to use the embedded storage controller(S130, I think) it will only support a maximum of 4 drives, slots 0-3. Slots 4-7 will be covered up by a plastic blanking panel. That panel can be easily removed to provide access to the remaining slots. If you want to use all 8 slots you will need to use something other than the embedded SATA controller as your storage controller. Upgrading from the embedded SATA controller to a hardware storage controller is not supported. We don't have kits or a process for the upgrade. You may not be able to purchase the parts necessary from us. Swapping between hardware controllers only requires the controller to be swapped, all of the cabling is the same between the supported hardware storage controllers. To upgrade from the S130 to an H330/H730 you will need the PERC, new SAS cables, and maybe an LED cable. Also, the system does not come with extra drive carriers. We sell carriers with drives in a kit, we don't sell carriers by themselves. If you order the system with 1 drive you will get 1 carrier and the rest of the slots will have blanks. Thanks </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, We have two cabinets in a data center populated with servers. One cabinet has our SAN and 2 DS-300B switches and servers connected to the fiber network. We would like to connect the 8 servers that are in the other cabinet. I think we have two choices: * Run 16 fiber xconnect cables between the cabinets from the servers to each switch or * Get two more switches for the other cabinet and trunk the switches What is preferred? Most of the traffic would be coming from the cabinet without the SAN, either over the xconnects or over the trunk. [/INST] Hi, It all depends what you want with your environment.If the existing switches in cab 1 have enough space (as in enough ports, and activated) to cater for the servers in the cabinet 2, then why not just have them over 16 fibers?If there is not enough space, then you need to get 2 new switches for cabinet 2, and ISL them together with minimum 2 fibers each. That would be the simple solution, if you want to cater for the future growth etc then I suggest to get in contact with your local DELL EMC rep. And check if a SAN refresh is something you need.

<s>[INST] Hi all, During boot up of a PowerEdge T620 (this is a used server that I am repurposing), I see a message: "TPM failure." In Windows, when I go to tpm.msc, it tells me that there is no TPM found. In the BIOS, I tried a few different settings with the TPM options but it makes no difference. The BIOS does, though, tell me that the TPM is active ?? The prior Windows Server installation on this server didn't use the TPM so I have no idea if the TPM was ever working or if there even in fact is a TPM module in this server that has failed (how would I know if there is one anyway ¡¦ did all T620's come with a TPM ?). This server is beyond warranty, and I don't think there's anyway to get a TPM replacement, other than replacing the entire motherboard ¡¦. so I may just go with Bitlocker with the USB drive option on startup.... [IMAGE] [/INST] I apologize, that was based on a different system type altogether. I suggest clearing the NVram and see if the TPM failure message clears out, if not then it will likely require a new motherboard to resolve the error. The jumpers for clearing the NVram can be found next to the coin battery on the motherboard. Poswer down the server and move jumper over, power the server to clear the nvram, power down afterwards and restore jumper to original location. After that then power up and let me know what you see. </s>

<s>[INST] We've recently started backing up DFS volumes with NetWorker (vers 19.1.1.1). We've have some failures with regard to not being able to read certain directories, the backup completes successfully apart from failing on a corrupt folder. We are investigating the corrupt folder but need to get past this issue for the time being. I know there are directives to skip certain files/folders and we are testing with those but is there a directive to specifically skip any files or folders that cannot be read? Thanks,Carl [/INST] No - such directive/asm does not exist. You may either leave the save set list alias 'all' and use an exclude/skip directive. However, I don't know what will happen when the filesystem 'walker' will encounter a directory with a defective name. Another method would be to setup a save set list which does not include the filesystem/directory in question. IMHO the best way would be to repair the filesystem - you have to do it anyway. </s>

<s>[INST] I'm looking for a server that can take one scalable CPU (for now) and has support for NVMe drive bays. I checked R640 and R740xd but online configuration says that you need two CPUs to have NVMe support. Are all the NVMe drives really just connected to CPU2 on the motherboard? Or is this a sales thing and not a technical limitation? [/INST] Just an update for future reference. We solved our problem by going with Dell's AMD models instead. AMD CPUs have more PCIe lanes so they can support more NVMe drives and I/O in general on just one CPU. The R6515 and the R7515 are the ones we looked at. The R6515 would be the equivalent of the R640 and the R7515 the equivalent of R740xd. We went with R6515 model (1U) in the end as it had two extra PCIe slots as well as up to 10 NVMe/SAS/SATA drives using just the single CPU. The largest CPU that fits in this small server has 64 cores. </s>

<s>[INST] I have T330 w/PERC H330 controller configured as a RAID 1 with a dedicated hot spare. One of the array member drives failed so the spare automatically became a member of the array. In my experience if I simply hot swap the failed drive it will trigger another rebuild of the array making the replacement drive a member.If I power down the system then switch out the failed drive will current array members remain as they are allowing me to designate the replacement drive as the hot spare thus avoiding another rebuild.Thanks. [/INST] Hello In that scenario a rebuild should only occur automatically if you have a feature like copyback enabled. Copyback will copy the hot spare data to a replacement drive automatically and then set the hot spare back as a hot spare instead of a virtual disk member. I would not shutdown to replace drives unless I had to because the drives were cabled/not hot swap. It is best to do changes while the controller is online so that it can track changes.

<s>[INST] Hello I'm planning to get the PowerEdge T640 soon and I have a few questions regarding it. I will be getting the 18x3.5 inch drives rackmount version with a single 750W psu and a single CPU. 1- is there a drive size limit, and will there be a problem when using it with non dell drives ? I'm planning to use it with seagate 14-18TB drives...ironwolf pro maybe. 2- how are the drives connected to the motherboard with this configuration ? I don't need a raid card like the PERC H330, rather an internal HBA card, so does it come with an internal HBA card with the 18 drives configuration ? 3- in the chassis configuration, some configurations says "GPU capable", but the 18x3.5 inch drives configuration doesn't say that, what exactly does that mean ? I need one or two graphics cards on this system and maybe a few pcie cards, so does that configuration prevent me from doing so ? 4- how is the noise with such configuration, will it be quiet since it's a single cpu/psu configuration ? [/INST] Hello, The highest capacity validated drives were 14TB, but I wouldn't expect a higher capacity than that to cause issues. However, using non-validated drives may or may not work out. I would make sure to get them from a source with a good return policy, if you still want to try. You'll need an add-in HBA, the HBA330 should suit your needs, though you may want to read up on it some. I'll link to the manual, so you can get any specific details you may want. [URL] The server would need a GPU enablement kit, in order to provide support for a GPU card. The card is mostly there for power distribution purposes.

After rebooting, the second disk (drive 1) became faulty and the system doesn't boot (we tried also removing and reinserting that disk : same issue). We tried to boot this time with only the first disk plugged (drive 0). the system doesn't boot. On the iDRAC, it shows the state of that disk : foreign (although no operations were done on this disk). So the new situation is : 1 disk not faulty and shown as foreign and the other disk is faulty (and has been now removed). Can we fix the disk (drive 0) so we can recover the data inside? [/INST] User1962, The foreign flag is when the Virtual Disk data stored on the drives doesn't match the Virtual Disk configuration data on the controller. If you follow this link, on page 73 and 74 are descriptions and steps on resolving the foreign. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi everybody, I use NW 18. I can get VM backups via their tags from vCenter to DataDomain. I also want to take a clone backup of some of the VMs whose backups have already been taken. To make it clear and sum up, VM1 has backup and clone tags. VM2 has only backup tag. When I say get backup which VMs has backup tag, it takes both VMs' backup to Datadomain. I want to say get backup which VMs has clone tag to another Datadomain. Do you know how can I do that? Is there anybody who has tried and succeed? Thanks in advance. [/INST] Thanks everybody who responsed and sorry for late reply. I tried adding new policies and configure them as they have backup and clone actions. It worked. To explain it with an example I have 10 VMs and I want to take backups of all to first Data Domain 1, take clone last 5VMs to Data Domain 2. For the first 5 VMs I created policy_1 which has only backup action, for last 5 VMs I created policy_2 which has backup and clone actions. I configured policy_1's rule to get vms which have backup tags and policy_2's rule to get vms which have clone tags. At the end I could take backups of all to the DD1 and take clones of last 5 to DD2. PS: It was preconfigured DDs and Networker Manager. There was already backup and replication settings. So I didn't configure anything else. </s>

<s>[INST] Running ESXI 5.5 u3 on a single Dell PE T430 with a Perc H730. My current RAID volumes are all SSD with 64k stripe sizes and RAID10. I¡¯m adding a new ESXI volume using 4 x 2Tb SATA in RAID10 and this will mainly be a storage volume for an existing Windows Server 2016 with Word, Excel and PDFs. What would the best stripe size to use for this new RAID volume when I setup in my iDRAC? I understand that smaller files benefit more with smaller stripe sizes like 64k. Thanks for any input. Ken [/INST] It's really going to come down to the load you put on the system. If you're storing lots of smaller files, a smaller stripe size may be beneficial. However, I'm not convinced that you'd notice much of a difference. I would somewhat expect the differences to be somewhat minor. I generally recommend to use the default settings. The presence of cache on the controller that accelerates reads and writes I would expect to mask most of the differences. You might see more of a benefit if you were trying to tune for a system with high-performance needs, but in this situation, I would think the defaults would work out well. </s>

<s>[INST] I have a PowerEdge T320 that I'm looking to upgrade at low cost. I have already increased RAM and looking at SSDs but my focus is now on CPU Upgrades. I have seen on a similar thread a compatibility table was published that lists a lot of E5-2400 V2 chips, but I have also seen on dell.com that it's compatible with the non-V2 E5-2400 series. What I have any eye on is an E5-2470 "v1" and I just wanted to check this is compatible before I go and pull the trigger and order it - the price difference from the V1 to V2 seems rather steep so would like to avoid a v2 if possible [/INST] The E5-2470 is compatible, according to the parts database I'm looking at. I'll share the related Intel ark page, just to confirm that you and I are on the same page. The part number I'm showing for this service kit is W1T58. [URL] </s>

<s>[INST] Right now, I have a copy of OneFS version 8.2.0.0, installed on vSphere on a 1.5TB ESXi drive. I have a single node, and want to perform some archive/restore tests with it. However, the 18.7 GB provided by default by the node is too little for my data set. How can I increase the space on the node? I've tried a few things: I've increased the size of the data drives in vSphere, and then used the "gpart resize" command to use that space on the Isilon node. The partitions of the six data drives on the node expand, but this is not shown in the OneFS GUI, and it's still showing 18.7GB. I've tried using "growfs", but that hasn't worked. Finally, I've tried re-adding the drive using "isi devices drive add", but that hasn't increase the space recognized. What can I do to get OneFS to see the additional space on the data drive partitions? Thank you. [/INST] If anybody else has this issue, I received a PM with the solution. The drives must be resized between deploying the OVF template and doing the initial command line configuration. Any drive resizes after the initial command line configuration will not propagate over to OneFS, even if you expand the partitions via the command line. </s>
