<s>[INST] Hi I'm new to here Have a raid 5 virtual device offline, in VD Mgmt when I check properties of my virtual device. It show 4 physical disks and 2 missing disks. Then I switch to PD Mgmg page, it shows 4 online physical disks with state online (Driver 01, 03, 04, 05) and 1 with state foreign (driver 02). I checked my iDRAC and server found a record "Fault detected on Drive 0". I assume one of the two missing disk is Drive 0, but why my Drive 2 state changed to foreign? (Checked server, driver 0 led is off and other is on) Is there any solution to get my raid 5 back to online? (have a spare disk without installed) Thanks in advance Update: After import driver 2. I was able to boot the system and backup all hyper-v vm data [/INST] In your position, I would just go ahead and delete the RAID 5, swap both drives, lay down a new virtual disk, reinstall, and recover from a file level backup. It'll be a pain in the butt, but it will leave you covered from any replication of bad data blocks causing storage problems. However, if you export a RAID log and it looks like there aren't any errors on the foreign drive, importing and rebuilding will be fine. Provided that disk 0 was the only one with errors, you could very well be fine. But if there are errors on drive 2 as well, those will replicate on the first rebuild and swapping out that drive would migrate those bad blocks back when the rebuild starts. If there is any volume of bad blocks, then reading and writing all of them may lead to drive failures. The best way to proceed really depends on what you see in the PERC log. However, the safest option is the one I listed on top. </s>

<s>[INST] A subset of PowerConnect switches use VxWorks. I think they they tend to report VxWorks 6.5 or so, which falls in the range known to have the vulnerable "IPNET" tcp/ip stack. *Are there any early statements (or even speculation) about whether these PowerConnect switches using VxWorks are considered vulnerable to the URGENT/11 exploits? So far, I've been unable to find information to clarify this. Until an official announcement is available, would disabling all remote management (leaving only direct serial-port access) be a potential mitigation? I see a PowerConnect 62xx firmware update as recent as February 2019. Does this suggest that those models, if found vulnerable to URGENT/11, might receive a patch and/or mitigation statement soon?

<s>[INST] (First post was marked as spam) We have a PowerVault MD3220i that we have been using for storage for several years. Due to issues with stability that have been encountered recently as its utilization has increased, we decided to upgrade the firmware. The original firmware version that was installed was 07.70.06.63. Per the upgrade instructions, we upgraded it to the bridge firmware version of 07.75.28.60. During the upgrade, the NVSRAM version was also changed. However, in the case of the NVSRAM it appears to have been a downgrade from N26X0-770890-005 to N26X0-784890-004. This occurred on the controller in slot 0 but not for the controller in slot 1. The controllers are now currently marked as Unupgradeable due to the following data validation error: Data validation error: The storage array cannot be upgraded as host port type representation in RAID Controller Module A did not match with those of RAID Controller Module B. This appears to be due to the NVSRAM version mismatch. Despite re-clearing the event log and rebooting the entire array (and leaving it powered off for 10 minutes), we have not been able to get the controllers to sync the NVSRAM version. Additionally, although we can connect to the controller using the serial port, during the controller boot process the output is either garbled or not displayed (the cursor blinks rapidly as though data is being received but not rendered). We are hoping to get some insight on how to get past being "stuck" on the bridge firmware/NVSRAM. Thank you for any help. [/INST] Hello txthenning, Have you tried swapping the slots that the controllers are in and running the firmware update a second time? I have seen this in the past that one controller will not get updated and by putting that controller in slot 1 and running the firmware again it resolves the issue. Did you happen to pull a support bundle before you tried to upgrade the firmware? Please let us know if you have any other questions. </s>

<s>[INST] Greetings everyone, my company has an old PowerConnect 2724 switch (L2) and several resources connected to it, on the same network. I want to isolate one or more resources (endpoints) in different VLANS (say 9 VLANs) and add a firewall (Pfsense appliance) between my ISP and my network, using it for internal / external purposes (blocking unspecific traffic ports, create VPN and so forth). The problem is that my switch is L2 and it cannot route the labeled VLAN packets. So, I¡¯m wondering to buy Dell X1026 (L3) and cascade it with my L2 switch, creating something like this: ISP >> router / gateway >> PfSense Appliance >> Layer 3 Sw (Routing) >> Layer 2 Sw (9 VLANs) >> Endpoints However, I have a few questions related to this topology in order to worth the investment on L3 switch: Best Regards Rafael [/INST] Hi, It should work, the 2724 can have ports with tagged VLANs that could be used with a trunk port. Though it might be better to remove the 2724 and just use all X series switches. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi there,Trying to figure out a really odd issue. This particular network has been running fine for ages with no issues at all. All the switches are N3024's either in single, double or triple stacks. I have one switch in the network that has suddenly starting dropping off the network.There are three links into the switch, one fiber and two Microwave to ethernet and when the switch drops off I found that cycling the links at the other end would bring the switch back up. Further diagnostics show that if I leave one of the Microwave link ports disabled at the other end the switch stays perfectly stable. Enable that link and almost immediately the switch drops off the network.Nothing has changed with regards firmware (although they do need updating) but I can't see why all of a sudden this one switch has started playing up. I also swapped the switch out for another one just in case it was a hardware fault but I'm seeing exactly the same behavior on the switch I've put in which makes me think it's some sort of config issue. Any thoughts? [/INST] It does seem like it is something with port 22, what is it connecting to? </s>

<s>[INST] My question is simple... I've got a PERC H730p Raid card in my Dell R740 with 16 bays. I have 10 drives that are 800gb 12gb SAS SSD in a Raid array, and then 4 1.6tb 6gb in a Raid array. My question is will the 12gb array maintain it's true 12gb transfer rate if I have a separate 6gb array on the same card, or will it clock the 12gb one down? I know that if I were to mix the drives in a single array it will use the lower speed. This is not the case. These are separate arrays. Thanks! [/INST] Hello Drive transfer speeds can be mixed across the controller. You can mix transfer speeds like SAS 6Gb/s and SAS 12Gb/s in both a virtual disk and across the controller. You can also mix drive access speeds within a virtual disk or across the controller. If you have a virtual disk with five 12Gb/s 15000 RPM drives and one 6Gb/s 7200 RPM drive all drives will operate at their rated transfer speed and internal access speeds. Having that 6Gb/s 7200 RPM drive in that scenario will likely affect performance of the virtual disk. The other drives will still operate at 12Gb/s 15000 RPM, but the controller may have to wait on the slower drive to perform actions. The slower drive could create a bottleneck within the virtual disk. [URL] Thanks </s>

You should also make sure you are using the latest version of the application used to monitor endurance. Updates may change how endurance is calculated or reported. It may also fix issues of incorrect reporting. If both drives are at the same percentage then I would replace them now. If the endurance is accurate then once the drives reach 0% they will become read only. If you wait until that happens then whatever data is being written at that time may be corrupted. I would replace one drive and then the other. If the storage controller and RAID level support a consistency check then I would run a consistency check before replacing any drives. A consistency check will verify virtual disk information and attempt to correct any faults that are found. [URL] [URL] Thanks </s>

Upgrading from the embedded controller to a hardware controller is not supported because we don't carry kits or sell the necessary parts to perform the upgrade. The only way to acquire the parts is by purchasing parts from our warranty stock through spare parts sales. There is no process or procedure to make this change, so there is not a part list of all necessary parts. The parts needed may change based on your configuration, so you will need to research the configurations to find what parts are needed. Thanks </s>

<s>[INST] I have an old PS4100 SAN replicating to a secondary DC. The SAN contains 7 ESX datastores, they are all replicated and I have been asked to test a restore. Looking in EqualLogic group Manager in the Inbound Replicas list on the target SAN, I only see the option to promote replica sets to volume. I need to set a replica online at the target site, there is an ESX cluster there that has iSCSI connectivity to the SAN so I can mount the volume using CHAP authentication. Is the procedure outlined somewhere? Is it a matter of promoting to volume a replica set, mount the volume in ESX and then import VMs? Once I am done with the restore test what should I do with volume? [/INST] Hello, The process is not documented. But if you have enough space you can clone a replica and bring that online. Otherwise you will need to PAUSE replication and promote a replica instead. Then you can set the ACL to whatever you wish. Then point the ESX server at the DR Group IP. Then rescan to login that replica volume. Then you can do "Add storage" to resignature the VMFS Datastore. If you don't do that you won't see the Datastore. After resignature it will then show as 'snapshot-OLD-UUID-DatastoreName' You can then browse, register a VM or VMs and run your test. When you are done you want to un-register the VMs. Unmount the Datastore in ESXi. On the EQL Dr site put the clone OFFLINE. Then on ESXi side do a rescan again. Now you can delete the clone on DR side. Regards, Don Note: Older versions of ESXi iSCSI networking did not support routing. So if the DR goes through a router you can Discovery the volume but never connect to it. I believe it was 6.0 that added that capability. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello Community, this is an urgent issue please. We have a DELL PowerEdge R720 : Raid10 with 6HDD SAS 600GB. 3 spans are present. Two disk (Disk0 and Disk1 on the Span 0) had endured some kind of a physical damage and are out of service, removed! Disk3 is showing a S.M.A.R.T Error. PD Managements showing a foreign configuration on each hard drive. VD Managements showing No configuration present. How can I recover from a similar situation? can I recover data by inserting 2 new drives replacing the damaged ones and importing configuration? How Can I proceed? If data is not recoverable, Can I insert 6 new disks and reconfigure my system, then install an Acronis backup image? Thank you. [/INST] Based on your description, it sounds like a complete span, span 0, is down. If that's the case, then recovering this array won't be an option. You'll need to create a new one using your back up. A RAID 10 is only recoverable if one drive in the span fails. You only need to replace the failed drives, though. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello We have noticed, that we see in the device overview, hostnames instead of iDRAC names in OME 3.2.0. Was this behavior always like this? We are pretty sure, that we have seen iDRAC names in the device overview in the previous version. This behavior brings us two problems: 1. DELLEMC SupportAssist Enterprise collect this information, but of course, it can't connect to a device with the hostname. Because it's not an iDRAC. So we have tons of errors in the Support Assist. 2. OME cannot read the hostname (example XEN-Server) from the overlaying OS, so we see only IP-addresses under the device overview for this devices.

<s>[INST] So I have recently been restoring and cleaning out and old 2006 Power edge 1900 and when I got it it was missing one cpu and only had one 1.86 ghz processor inside of it so I bought two Intel Xeon X5450 - 3 GHz (EU80574KJ080NT) SLASB SLBBE 1333 MHz (Socket: LGA 771 CPU) (from ebay) Is there any way I can get them to work together.

Thanks! [/INST] Hello I don't show any 54xx CPUs in the part list of the 1900. The CPU that can be used may depend on the revision of the server. I suggest checking the documentation on the system support page. There is an information update document on the support page that states a mark II system is required for 5300 series CPUs.

<s>[INST] I have one server, a PowerEdge R530 with iDRAC8, that I am unable to associate a firmware baseline with. During troubleshooting I created a test baseline targeting just this one device and the Check Compliance task fails with no data in the report. Is there a log file somewhere that might give me a clue as to why things are failing for this one device? In all other respects, OME is able to communicate with this device without issue including running a hardware inventory. I'm on OME 3.2, iDRAC is on the latest firmware (2.63.60.61), BIOS is not current (2.3.4). Only apparent hardware "issue" is that the Service Tag is not being reported in either OME or iDRAC. [/INST] Hello The audit log will show the user and task that is submitted. It may have additional information about what is happening. The issue is likely with the service tag. The service tag is a field that is populated in the compliance report. If a null value is returned then it may be causing the compliance task to fail. If you are not being prompted to enter a service tag when the system starts up then you will likely need an onsite technician to set a service tag. Thanks </s>

What requirements will I have to complete to make a successful integration? I'd be very delightful if you guys could take out this doubts.Have a wonderful day. [/INST] Hello, That is very easy to do. It is part of the design of PS storage arrays. You can easily add more members. What is the firmware on the array at DR now and the one you are adding? If they are close you can run setup on the new 4100, and you will specify the Group IP address of the existing group. It will then ask you for the MEMBERSHIP password. This maybe the same as the GRPADMIN password it depends on who set it up. Once you add it to the group, you can manage it now from the same GUI. Configure the other network ports, set the RAID policy and so forth. it will inherit the group information automatically. Once you have it in the group, you want to make sure you upgrade them both to EQL firmware 10.0.2 if you plan on using replication with the SC array. Which is a key benefit to SC and PS storage. The SC array should be upgraded to current revision as well. Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] Hello Everyone! I Have Posted before about an issue I had with my Poweredge R710 Server that I had issues with related to the HDD's. Anyway I was installing Windows Server 2012 and was able to see the 2TB Raid 0 HDD but when I attempted to install it said "We Couldn't Locate An Existing Or Create A New Partition". If you have any experiences similar to this or know how to fix this any form of help would be great. I plan to boot this from a USB flash drive (or low cap. SSD with a laptop DVD to SATA adapter) and if I am able to install on another device and load drivers for the raid card (SAS card, SATA Backplane) onto win server 2012 so that it can access the storage I have. Thank You [/INST] Can you use NAS/laptop/desktop drives? Maybe. There is no guarantee. Some drives may not show up on the controller at all. Some may show up but can't be configured. Some may show up and be configurable but fail randomly later. They simply aren't programmed to respond to the controller like the controller expects, so whether they work or not will be hit and miss and you would just need to try it, assuming that roadbumps you encounter are a result of the drives not being the proper drives for the server. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I'm using two S5048 in VLT configuration mode that are to act as DHCP relays forwarding the requests to a central DHCP-server that are located beyond OSPF-routing in another geographical location. The problem is that the S5048 relaying are using their loopback IP-addresses (for OSPF routing to the remote network where the DHCP-server resides) as source on the unicast to the dhcp-servers and not using their IP-addresses on the VLAN where the originating DHCP-discover is sent by a client. Which fails since the Windows DHCP-server can't pick the correct DHCP-scope for the end-client. This has been verified with packet-captures on the server. I have also verified that they are forwarding the requests by enabling debugging in FTOS for dhcp relay. Anyone seen similar behavior? [/INST] Can mark this as resolved.It's a FTOS version issue. The switches were running 9.12, with 9.14 one can configure the source-interface for each vlan combining that with: ip helper-address [vrf ] Syntax example: conf t int vla 10 ip helper-address 192.168.1.1 ip dhcp relay source-interface vlan 10 </s>

<s>[INST] Hello, does anyone know a way to display the metadata usage (as a %) via command line? We have scripts collecting data from Avamar systems and we want to be able to pull this information.

In MCGUI it displays the higher percentage (between metadata and server utilization), and can see both if I click on it. (see pic below). But mccli server show-prop only shows the server utilization.

<s>[INST] I'm going to add new server to do stress specific work and this server should be T640.

<s>[INST] equallogic PS6100. have two of them, one syncreps volumes to the other. i have this one thin provisioned volume that I store some linux servers on. this volume is growing by 3% every day for the last few days, up to to 77% in use space now. although I could just add more space to the volume ( I have plenty free), doesnt change the fact that it continues to grow. not 100% clear on what causes the growth, but I think Eql doesnt allow you to reclaim space after it writes to block? I have 13 VMs stored on this volume, total HD space for all of them is 904 GB. Vmware shows 3 TB Datastore, 989 provisioned, 2 TB free. EQL shows in-use 2.31TB, with 7.2 unreserved. unless I change something, it will just continue to grow, so what are my options? change volume so it is no longer thin -provisioned? move everything to another volume? [/INST] Hello, SANs do not reclaim on their own. They can't they aren't filesystem aware. The owner of the volume is responsible for telling the storage what blocks can be freed. VMFS v5+ supports reclaim. AKA UNMAP This VMware KB covers how to do that. [URL] On the EQL side you need FW greater than 6.x. The volume cannot be replicated by EQL using SYNC or ASYNC replication. UNMAP is disabled on replicated volumes on Dell PS Series SANs. But to remove your concern overall. Nothing bad will happen if you use 100% of an EQL volume. In the case of thin provisioning this assumes you have not overprovisioned your actual storage capacity. I.e. you have 10TB of actual space and create a 15TB thin provisioned volume. Once you run out of physical space, the volume goes offline. So let's assume you have not done that. As I mentioned SANs don't know filesystems or files. A server tells the SAN to write or read a block of data. If a delete occurs and no corresponding UNMAP command is sent there's no notification to the SAN to free that block. The OS and filesystem keep track of all the used and free blocks on each volume That allocation table allows the OS to re-use previous blocks. So even if an EQL volume shows 100% in-use, the OS could show 100% FREE. If you filed the volume and then deleted everything. So do not use the EQL GUI as an up to date gauge of free and used space. So when you get to the threshold on EQL side, you do not have to increase the volume. You can also change the warning alert all the way to 100% if you have enough space to hold all the volumes data. Again, NOT over provisioned your actual disk space. Now a funny thing on how OS's vs. SANs are different. When you first create a VM on a 100% free EQL volume an interesting thing will happen. With no thin provisioned VMDKs the array will show MORE free space than VMware reports. I.e. if you create a 500GB VMDK thick provisioned hardly any space will show used on the EQL side. But 500GB will show used on ESXi side. That's because VMware doesn't actually write out 500GB when it creates a VMDK file. Far from it. Over time it will swing the other way as VMs are deleted or moved to another volume. So MORE space will show allocated in EQL GUI vs. VMware. Also until you get to ESXi v6.7 U2 or greater, and native VMFS v6 formatted volumes, when you delete a file inside a VM UNMAP commands from that VM's OS are not passed to the backend SAN storage. Which means only when ESXi deletes a file will space be reclaimed when using the VMFS reclaim process. So temp files, VMDK snapshots, log files, memory dump files, deleted or moved VMs will be reclaimed. So bottom line. Don't go by what EQL shows for in-use space vs. free on a volume. Go by VMware info. Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I have read almost all posts related with this issue, and I have redistributed (all?) vdisks. Now, I have two VD (100G and 250G), the latter is storing some critcal VMs. and the first one some minor db app. First question: It's safe to redistribute the vdisk while I/O is running on the block device? I have read on another post and one Dell tech reply that "yes". But I'm concerned, I'm running critical infrastructure here. Firmware: 07.84.47.60 - Dell md3200i (no external enclosures) Host os with initiators (open-iscsi) and multipathd(8): Linux. (ubuntu 18.04 AMD64). I have paths that are OK, but one of theme looks like this: (output from multipath -l from linux): size=100G features='3 queue_if_no_path pg_init_retries 50' hwhandler='1 rdac' wp=rw|-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=enabled| |- 12:0:0:1 sdaw 67:0 failed undef unknown| |- 15:0:0:1 sdau 66:224 failed undef unknown| |- 16:0:0:1 sdav 66:240 failed undef unknown| `- 18:0:0:1 sdax 67:16 failed undef unknown`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=0 status=active|- 10:0:0:1 sdaj 66:48 active undef unknown|- 11:0:0:1 sdal 66:80 active undef unknown|- 17:0:0:1 sdai 66:32 active undef unknown`- 19:0:0:1 sdak 66:64 active undef unknown As I understand this, it has failed over the non-preferred path, which causes the array to complain (the amber light is up, and the message "needs attention" shows up on MDSM). Question #2. If all other paths on other vdisks from the same host (4 more) show signs of no problem then what's going on. However. I believe the issue it's not deterministic, as I have seen (before the redistribution) other vdiss were mentioned in the "Needs Attention" window, I then redistributed those (in the maintenane window, all VMs down, etc.) and haven't saw them again as reported on the non-preferred path. But I have this two now. Yesterday I did a maintenance window and when I redistributed all vidsk directly by going to the Hardware tab, then selecting the controller (this is needed?) then from Storage/Virtual Disk/Advanced -> Redistribute Virtual Disks. Everything was ok, multipathing was working, etc, then like half an hour later 1 path started failing, then another, the two vdisks I mentioned. As far as I know this "redistribution" is a quick fix (is it?) because yesterday I did just that (but not from right clicking on the vdisk on MDSM but directly from the Storage menu that I just put in my previus paragraph.) and then the problem appeared again. What I can deduce is that my host conectivity (4 interfaces 1Gbit/s) is OK, I can ping all 8 ip addresses on the SAN (two for each interface, we use 4 subnets to reach controller 0 and controller 1, which are connected to a dell switch), the host is connected to the same switch. Also another host I have have zero problems with iSCSI, using the same switch and the same SAN, same subnets, same number of interfaces. And, since all other paths are showing as correct and are being used (round-robin) I suppose that the problem it's not on my host. MTU is jumbo as it's correctly setup both from the Linux interface and from the Switch in the middle (dell powerconnect 7024) and from the SAN. Can it be that I need to recreate those vdisks on the SAN side? Also, when doing a wireshark session I can se this message: "LUN Busy" returned from the SAN, I could see this from all interfaces, don't happen all the time but it show up eventually on all of them, is this normal? Thanks I appreciate any insights into this.

System tools (lspci -nvv -s 3:0.0) show that PCIe link training does indeed occur at 5GT/s (Gen2), which would be a cause for exactly this limit (at x8). In the link above, there is a mention of "the exception of the mezzanine slot, which only supports Dell custom mezzanine cards". What cards are concerned by this exception ?

<s>[INST] I have a customer who wants to know if we have any best practices for presenting the Unity Luns to Netapp (FAS8080). They want to know if they can add thick and thin luns to it or if there any constraints. They had originally purchased Unity 650F to use for NAS storage. Due to migration concerns the FAS8080 was used instead to migrate from another system. After further discovery they realized there was not enough disk space in the FAS8080. So rather than purchasing more disk for the FAS they requested the Unity 650F space be provisioned to the FAS8080. [/INST] There arent constraints from the Unity side - there the NetApp is just like any other FC host. This is more of a question what NetApp recommends since they are putting their file system on top of the Unity LUNs They may not support using thin LUNs if they cannot deal with conditions like the Unity pool running out of space.Plus since WAFL always writes to new blocks thin LUNs could become full unless they can do regular space reclaim using SCSI unmap. Also using thin provisioning on two levels on top of each other makes management and monitoring more complicated </s>

I would create whatever RAID level you want, then try the install again. The PERC doesn't act like an HBA, in that the hard drives would get passed straight through. You have to make a virtual disk first, then the OS should see storage. If not, then the version of Ubuntu you have is missing a driver.

If you guys could help me, here are my doubts: [/INST] Hello, Are all your volumes on VMFS Datastores? There are three ways to migrate data from PS to SC. Not in any order: 1.) Thin Import 2.) XPR Replication (Cross Platform Replication The PS Storage needs to be on 10.0.x firmware) 3.) Storage vMotion. #3 is one that can be done live. The other two would require some downtime. Basically you just need an ESXi server that can see both the old and new storage. Then you can migrate VMs to the new SAN. I suspect the new storage is configured for 10GbE so this should be pretty easy to do. You don't need to interlink the old PS iSCSI SAN and the new iSCSI SAN for SC. Option 1 and 2 would require access from the PS iSCSI network to the new SC iSCSI network. You can also open a support case and they will help you with this as well. Here are some links with info on PS and SC storage together [URL] [URL] Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] Hi everyone, I need some help with the situation which I am not very familiar with. I have a DELL EMC R830 in production and for the moment I am using only two HDD in Raid 1, now I wanted to add 4 more HDD because I am running out of space but not sure if I can do that without loosing my data and my Windows 2012 R2 OS which is running with couple VMs on Hyper V. Any advice is highly appreciated. [/INST] Hello, You can increase your storage without issue. The easiest thing to do would be to insert the drives into the server, then you would need to create a virtual disk using either OpenManage Server Administrator, or the iDRAC. Once the virtual disk is created, you can then use Windows' Disk Manager to partition it and lay out a file system for use. If you are unfamiliar with creating virtual disks in the iDRAC or OpenManage, there are numerous videos on YouTube showing it, several are from the Dell Tech Center channel. They should be of help. </s>

<s>[INST] Hello I have EqualLogic PS 6100 controller and did a reset using cli. It wiped everything and started setup. However when I go through the setup name, IP, etc first it says looks like it was running before do you want to restart? I said yes and it is cycling with error can't bring eth0 on line. I 100% sure it is on the network, swaped all cables and tested on other switch, there is no light on eth0 (management port) once you plug the cable. This is kinda urgent and I need a solution if anyone knows. Thanks [/INST] Hello, By default the Management port (ETH4 here) is NOT enabled. Put a cable on that if you want to use the out-of-band dedicated management feature. Which has to be enabled later. The other interfaces should be connected, but the default one to start is ETH0. If not link is detected when you configure it, the setup will fail. Once you have it setup, and can access the GUI, you can enable the Management Feature. You don't just assign that port a different IP. You must enable the Dedicated Management Feature and confgure the IPs for management there. Otherwise the Discovery Address is used for both iSCSI session logins and management. Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I have configured my VRTX with a trunk on 2 of the 10Gb connections and a trunk on the 1Gb connections. I configured it so that 2 vLANs were for the 10Gb trunk and 1 vLAN for the 1Gb trunk. I am using VMware ESXi and I have configured 2 switches, switch 1 goes to the 2 vLANS on the 10Gb trunk and switch 2 goes to the vLAN on the 1Gb trunk.

<s>[INST] Hi guys... I have recently bought an old PowerEdge 2850 and she is now running beautifully.... (after a lot of TLC I must add)... BUT... The one last issue I have is that the screen resolution on my monitor is not correct. The "Display Adapter" says - Standard VGA Graphics Adapter (???) The Monitor is - Samsung SyncMaster BX3021 (driver is installed) The Chipset says - ATI Radeon VE The OS is - Windows Server 2008 R2 I tried to download an ATI Radeon driver but it was obviously the incorrect one as all my RAID drives FAILED - I think that was because it was for Server 2008 and not server 2008r2 - so I'm a bit nervous to try another Display Adapter driver because I had to re-create the RAID drives and install everything AGAIN.....etc. Am I stuck with the - "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" - or what? Surely the ATI Radeon should be giving me better graphics (or at least be able to handle the screen resolution of the Samsung monitor).... Sorry, I am not very clued up w.r.t graphics cards and old servers.... I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction here.... Thanx Mike [/INST] Hello The integrated graphics on servers is very limited. I suspect the max resolution on the 2850 is around 800x600, maybe 1024x768.

<s>[INST] I have a PowerEdge T430 with 8x Samsung 830 DCT 960GB on a Perc H700 controller and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter in a RAID 0 setup (this is for testing).The single drives are 500+ MB/s read and write on the PERC H700 as a non-RAID disk. 6 of them in RAID 0 was capped at ~1600 MB/s Read/Write. Adding 2 more drives to the RAID 0 produced no increase in speed. So 8 drive RAID 0 is also ~1600 MB/s. That doesn't seem right to me as I'd expect to increase speed as I add drives. The initial speed of 1600 for 6 drives seems around half of what it should be (shouldn't 6x 500MB/s drives be around 3k MB/s?) I'm not sure where the bottleneck is. Any insight is appreciated. [/INST] UPDATE and SOLUTION: After a few days of wondering what's going on and subsequently posting my question to the community, I found the problem. To make room for other cards, I moved the PERC H730 from the full length PCIe slot in position 4 to the top slot in position 1. I didn't realize those slots changed bandwidth quite that drastically. After moving the PERC H730 back to PCIe slot 4, I'm getting 4000 MB/s read and 3700 MB/s write which is what I'd expect for 8x 500MB/s drives in a RAID 0. The PCIe slot the RAID controller was in was the bottleneck. </s>
