<s>[INST] Looking at some SSD options and the Samsung 860dtc series are being advertised as "enterprise"I had a few clients looking at some refurb 420\620's with 720Perc (maybe it was 710)in any case has anyone heard anything about these drives?960gb, 1920gb DataCentre use. im lookin to throw a couple 1920 as Raid1 on a esx box for a few 25-35 sites hosting DC\Exchange. Raid1 to simply provide me less downtime if one fails. I know how raid works and that the SSD will be used. [/INST] Let me clarify, as well as correct myself. The DTC do appear to be the data center versions, where I mistook as EVO's when referring to laptops and desktops. I am not showing the drive listed, so it isn't seen as supported. Now with that being said, it doesn't mean offhand that it won't work, but simply that it hasn't been tested on the server. So we can't say definitively if it will work or not. It would be based solely on trial and error, but we couldn't attest to the functionality of the drive. </s>
<s>[INST] I am using the awssdk.s3 library for .Net Core to connect to ECS. This works in every scenario I have tried except for one. When I call the CompleteMultipartUploadAsync method, if fails every time. I know I am using it right, first initiating the multipart upload and then uploading a couple of parts before finally trying to complete it. Everything leading up to CompleteMultipartUploadAsync works, even the call I make to AbortMultipartUploadAsync after catching the exception. The ErrorCode of the exception is "InvalidRequest". Is CompleteMultipartUploadAsync supported in ECS? Thank you. [/INST] I found the answer. I did not know about etags. Once I included the etags in the complete request, it worked. </s>
<s>[INST] Got a T410 with a PERC6i, and I'd like to put a T410 in there. Anyone know the part number for the compatible one, and for the SAS and battery cables? Thanks! [/INST] Hello There are several variations of the H700 adapter that are compatible with the T410. Here is the part number for the 512MB H700A without non-volatile cache: J9MR2 Please keep in mind that there are several part numbers for the same part, this is just one of them. We may change the part number if anything about the card changes. If the shipping firmware, packaging material, stickers, or anything else changes we may create a new part number. You can find more information about the controller in the manual. [URL] There are too many possible cables. I'm not going to list all of the cables. If you provide information about your drive configuration then myself or someone else may be able to provide the cable part numbers for your configuration. Thanks </s>

<s>[INST] We use an EQL PS6100 array for our VDI environment. The issue is it is taking up a lot of space even after I deleted the VDI's. How do I reclaim this space in the group management? [/INST] Hello, The array on its own is unable to reclaim space. This is because like all block storage the array is unaware of files or filesystems. The OS tells the storage WRITE data at LBA X or READ data at LBA X. Only the OS via an allocation table knows what LBAs are used or free. There are SCSI commands to tell storage that blocks are free. The UNMAP LBA X command must come from the OS. So it is entirely dependent on the OS and filesystem to send these UNMAP commands. Some OS/Filesystems have software to do this. E.g. VMware VMFS has the ESXCLI command that will attempt to reclaim blocks. Windows W2K12+ uses the defrag program to also send UNMAP commands. On the EQL side the only caveat is the the volume cannot be using EQL replication. Either SYNC or ASYNC, if so then UNMAP is not supported. You would have to DISABLE replication, not PAUSE, run UNMAP then start replication over for that volume. Regards, Don </s>
<s>[INST] Since upgrading multiple vxrails to 4.5.227 in different locations we're getting frequent temperature alerts.

<s>[INST] We recently acquired a PowerVault ME4024, with a mix of flash and 10k drives. We bought some SSDs to use them as storage and some (2x480GB) to create a SSD Cache. I have created a read-cache disk group with these two drives but I'm not sure I have configured them correctly: Pool A Pool B I created the disks groups and some volumes, but I want to be sure the 10K disk groups are being optimized by the read-cache disk group. Can you help me? [/INST] Hello Markman12-, The following is found on page 88 of the administrator guide. [URL] ¡°A read-cache disk group is a special type of a virtual disk group that is used to cache virtual pages to improve read performance. Read cache does not add to the overall capacity of the pool to which it has been added. You can add or remove it from the pool without any adverse effect on the volumes and their data for the pool, other than to impact the read-access performance. If your system uses SSDs, you can create read-cache disk groups for virtual pools if you do not have any virtual disk groups for the pool that are comprised of SSDs. Virtual pools cannot contain both read-cache and a Performance tier. Only a single read-cache disk group may exist within a pool. Increasing the size of read cache within a pool requires the user to remove the read-cache disk group, and then re-add a larger read-cache disk group. It is possible to have a read-cache disk group that consists of one or two disks with a non-fault tolerant RAID level. ¡° Based on the way you have configured your disk groups & pools your setup follows the setup for SSD read-cache. Please let us know if you have any other questions. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi all, Recently I've been working on installing my Poweredge r610 server and I'm getting an error. I've been working on this for hours now but I can't figure out whats causing this. The error I'm getting says "Fault detected in Drive 2" (same error for drive 3). I've tried 2 different disks and also tried placing them in other slots. These drives are both very new and have pretty much not been used before placing them in the server. I've scanned them with a bunch of tools which both show no errors. When booting the server the orange flashing ligths become green. It also says it is loading all 3 virtual drives. My raid config utility shows no errors either. The drives are even detected by windows, useable and fast. While booting the lights start flashing orange again. I can still use them without any errors. Could anyone explain why I'm getting these errors? Thanks in advance! Please note that I am not a system administrator. I'm a developer who likes working with servers at home ?? [/INST] Try updating the system, but the problem is the "two Samsung SSD's and two HDD's I had lying around" ... the controller has very specific requirements of the drives, so you can't expect just any old drive will work. They may, but they may not. The messages will not disappear entirely. The best you can do with those drives is get them to show as online BUT with a non-critical flag/message regarding the drives' state. They simply don't know how to communicate their status to the controller in the way the controller expects. </s>

<s>[INST] I have a question regarding installing WS 2016 to R710 and DELL EMC Lifecycle Controller OS Driver Pack 17.12.00 that was published in late 2018.

You could also try failing over to the other CMC if you have two. </s>
<s>[INST] System: PowerEdge R910, 11GOperating System: RHEL/CentOS 7Issue: Deployment Toolkit v6.0.1 missing libstdc++ and libxml2 packagesBIOS and iDRAC firmware upgrades are being done remotely via iDRAC6 Enterprise. This is an 11G server, so the firmware is no longer included as an update using the Lifecyle Controller. Per article:[URL]#2I downloaded the Deployment Toolkit for R910, and I'm mapping the "ISOLinux.iso" using the iDRAC6 virtual console's virtual media feature.The BIOS update to version 2.12.0 worked without problem. The iDRAC firmware update (version 2.85 to 2.90 using ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_LN32_2.90_A00.BIN) fails with the following error message:"The following packages are required for update package to run: compat-libstdc++-33.i686 libstdc++.i686 libxml2.i686"In my experience this type of error usually results from a 64-bit OS like RHEL/CentOS 7 attempting to run 32-bit software.Since I'm using the Deployment Toolkit on the ISO image mounted as virtual media, how do I resolve the dependencies? (The OS on the R910, and the machine I'm using to to perform the maintenance have the libstdc++ and libxml2 packages installed)This is an exclusively RHEL/CentOS environment, so I'm looking for a long-term maintenance solution NOT involving MS Windows. Or is there an alternative update method for the iDRAC firmware that can be done remotely from a machine running RHEL/CentOS 7? [/INST] We have 100% Linux environment - not a single server, or workstation running windows. Since Dell supports numerous Linux distros, it would be useful to get some Linux-specific hardware support.For Linux users: None of the toolkit software is needed for the iDRAC firmware update.SOLUTION:1. On any Linux client machine, browse to the associated dell.com/support for the service tag/server model.2. I was unable to get the iDRAC6 to accept the firmware image for RHEL 7/CentOS 7 ("ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_LN32_2.90_A00.BIN") using the iDRAC web gui > iDRAC > upgrade > upload feature. Alternatively, I extracted the firmware image from the Windows Server 2003 archive (step 3). Yes,3. Select OS: Windows 2003 server and download "Dell iDRAC Monolithic Release 2.90", file "ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_WN32_2.90_A00.EXE".4. On Linux client machine, use any archive management software that can handle Windows archive EXE file to extract files. Using the "unzip" program via command line:cd ~/Downloads/mkdir idrac6_firmware_2.90cd idrac6_firmware_2.90/unzip ESM_Firmware_9GJYW_WN32_2.90_A00.EXE*** NOTE: The only relevant file is payload > "firmimg.d6" 5. I had numerous failures uploading and installing the firmware image using the iDRAC6 web GUI, so I recommend rebooting both the client machine with fresh browser session, and the iDRAC. To avoid a factory reset of the iDRAC and lose settigs, a soft-reset can be easily via secure shelle:Client machine's command line:ssh yourLoginName[NAME]:/admin1-> racadm racreset6. Give the iDRAC a 5 minutes to reboot. On your Linux client machine use a browser to log into the iDRAC through the web gui.7. Browse to iDRAC Settings > Update > click Browse > select ~/Downloads/idrac_firmware_2.90/payload/firmimg.d6 (or wherever the firmware image was extracted).8. "Upload (Step 1 of 3) > Click upload. Do NOT browse off of the iDRAC upload page.9. If the upload is successful you will see "Status (2 of 3)", showing current version number and new version number. If it fails/hangs try rebooting your client and browser session.10. Click "next" button11. The installation of the firmware should start and show "Updating (Step 3 of 3)" and periodically update the "status" box. Do NOT browse off of the iDRAC installation page. Mine took about 10 minutes and spent several minutes before jumping to each of 0%, 30%, 50%, 70%, 90% values. Let it run. If you see a spinning wheel, or a message like "The firmware is updating, try again later", start over at step 5.12. If the installation is successful, you will get a new message confirming it, and indicating that the current session is no longer valid. The iDRAC is automatically rebooting with the new firmware. Give it several minutes - mine took 5+ minutes. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi all, I could really use some help and insight. The company I work for uses a 3rd party vendor for hosting our data. Unfortunately, trying to pry information from this vendor is like pulling teeth. We are experiencing an issue wherein the Access Date for the filesystem is always being changed. Our company deals in data preservation this poses a pretty big issue for us. With the information I have been able to grab a hold of, the vendor is using an FS8600 with a Linux OS. I have made inquiries if the NOATIME option can be turned on for the mounted drives. The response I have gotten is less than desirable that "Dell has built a proprietary OS that sits on top of the Linux Shell, and that there are a limited set of commands that are reserved for Dell Engineering team." Anyone happen to know anything about this Dell OS (I am not sure if the vendor is talking about Dell Storage Manager or Dell Storage Center OS) and the interaction with Linux and availability of options? Thank you, and I really appreciate any information! [/INST] Hello Maliceous, Likewise is part of the FS system. Please let us know if you have any other questions. </s>
<s>[INST] We have a Unity 500 Hybrid with a mixture of 2,5" and 3.5" disks and related DAE's. My question, does the order of the DAE's make a difference when racking and cabling or is this a "moot point" these days (3 x 2.5" DAE's and 3 x 3.5" DAE's)? Thanks [/INST] OK - look at page 63 in the manual. The first DAE that's connected to the DPE, you used cables from the DPE to the first DAE using the "A" port on the DAE - this is the "IN" port on the DAE. Port "B" is the "OUT" port to the next DAE in the chain to that DEA's "A" ports. You have two Backend (BE0 and BE1) SAS buses on the DPE, so balance the number of DEA's on the buses. BE0 connects to the DPE disks, so use BE1 to connect to the first DAE, then BE0 to the second DAE, then BE1 to the third DAE. Then you have two DAE's (one is the DPE) on BE0 and two on BE1. The order does not matter, but if you only have 1 meter cables you might have problems if you connected all the BE0 DAE's first, then tried to cable the BE1 bus to the fourth DAE - the 1 meter cable might not reach. It's B (out) to A (in). glen </s>

In the future, if you want to add logs to a thread then please either attach a file or provide a URL to a text sharing site instead of copying and pasting logs into a post. Log snippets are fine, but large snippets or full logs don't belong in the post body. These look like bad block errors to me. Bad blocks happen with drives, they are fairly common. If multiple bad blocks are found on a drive then it could be a sign that the drive is going to fail. Once the disk crosses a threshold for bad blocks the SMART on the disk will report the drive as predictive failure. If I had several drives that were reporting bad blocks then I would be proactive about replacing them. If it was just one drive and I had good backups then I would wait for it to go predictive failure before replacing. I didn't notice any of the drives being predictive failure in the logs. I would also run a consistency check. It is good to run consistency checks at regular intervals or when disk issues are encountered. A consistency check will verify the data is intact. You can find more information in the controller manual. [URL] Thanks </s>
<s>[INST] I have two new Brocade Switch 6520, acting as standalone, i wont merge those The default domain id is 1 I want to learn about the best practices to set the domain id for standalone switches, is there any advice to about brocade 6520 domain id must be greater o smaller than others? for example Brocade 6520-1 Set the domain to 3 and the other Brocade 6520-2 Set the domain id to 4. Does it matter domain id ranking?? Do you recommend to use or leave the default id ? or change it just for best practices Bes regards [/INST] Hi, you can leave the Domain ID at the default. It will make no difference to the switches or the protocol while running in a single switch fabric. Regards, Erik </s>

<s>[INST] Hi, I have a T620 running Windows 10 Pro. The fans used to be very loud. Then they stopped being loud for a while, and now they are pretty loud again. I did not change any hardware or install any kind of updates. However, I noticed that it says when booting: 2 Virtual Drive (s) found on the host adapter. 1 Virtual Drive (s) Degraded. I would think that this (the Degraded) is the reason the fans are so loud again!? But I am not sure. I googled a little bit and found a thread on this forum where "Flash" suggested to run some sort of diagnostics. Already forgot what it is called, but it had something to do with RAID. I was going to do that, but I cannot login to OpenManage!? I have been trying all day, but it never works. I googled for a while trying to figure out what the login credentials are, and even though I believe I found them, still does not work. I found a thread where Flash is saying: "The host name is not 'administrator'. Username should be in the format: domain\username and its password. Don't check the Active Directory box if present. User MUST be a member of the server's Administrator group or a Domain Admin. User MUST have a password. Use IE, add server to Intranet Zone and try. You MUST be logged in as the admin user. Turn off IE Security Config (at least for administrators)." I googled on how to find my hostname and it is DESKTOP-L36*S (changed three characters. Not sure if I even have to?). So I use DESKTOP-L36S/1311 as the hostname. I then do what flash said. MY Domain is WORKGROUP and my username is P. So I use WORKGROUP\P and as a password I use the same one that I use to login to my computer. Having said this. I tried every possible combination and it never works. I tried under Hostname / IP address: DESKTOP-L36S/1311 DESKTOP-L36S:1311 WORKGROUP/1311 WORKGROUP:1311 DESKTOP-L36S Under username I tried: DESKTOP-L36S/P DESKTOP-L36S\P desktop-l36s/P desktop-l36**s\P WORKGROUP/P WORKGROUP\P Under password I used my password. Same as the one I login with to my computer... I am sure I might have not listed all combination I tried, but trust me, I tried them all. Nothing works. Any ideas? Thanks, G [/INST] Available options will depend on the RAID controller you are using. I didn't notice it mentioned in any of your posts. If the controller supports any recovery options then they would be a re-sync, foreign configuration import, or forcing a disk online. Re-tagging the virtual disk may also be an option. You can find out more information in the controller manual. [URL] </s>
<s>[INST] Good evening All I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction, I have 3 Nutanix hosts with OVS - at the moment I am unable to configure Bond0 and I think it may be the settings on the X4012 x 2 switches at the level above. The GUI on the x4012 switches is not something I find easy to work with, so any tips gratefully received. This is what I have: [IMAGE] Can you help with the configuration of the X4012 ports - I have them set up as a Trunk - do I need anything else to make this work with a Nutanix OVS Bond Would it be ok to take cables from the hosts 1gb eth2 and eth3 to the M3024 switches to create Bond1 for DMZ VLAN. How do I check where the traffic is actually going? Many thanks [/INST] Hi All I enlisted the help of Nutanix for this as it had me stumped. The Nutanix engineer spent quite a while checking the Nutanix environment and concluded there was no problem with the HCI environment... so he took a look at the X4012 switches connected for the backbone, the problem turned out to be that the CVM had a mac address that was not being automatically added to the ARP table of the switch. Adding the mac address to the static list solved the problem, there is still a Dell support request open to try and find the root cause of the failed ARP entry. Have a splendid weekend All. E. </s>
<s>[INST] After updating Windows Server 2012 r2 on our server (DELL PowerEdge T330), after the restart, a "No boot device available" error message appeared and booting did not resume. :smileysad: Before the update, our server was working fine. What is the solution? Please somebody help me. [/INST] Hi Chris, I found the cause of the error. There are two physical hard disks in the server that are managed by the raid controller as a virtual disk.After the update when restarted the system, for some reason, booting from the virtual disk failed, and this error message was displayed: "No boot device available os Operating System detected.Current boot mode is set to BIOS.Please ensure a compatible bootable media is available." I tried to manually update the BootMGR File, first in BIOS boot mode. Thereafter booting from a Windows installation dvd, at the command prompt "bcdboot C:\Windows /s D:\" did not solve the problem. I came to the conclusion that no BIOS mode was set before. Then I switched to UEFI boot mode.The command "bcdboot C:\Windows /s D:\" solved the problem. The good solution I found here. </s>
<s>[INST] We are trying to configure DRACs on all of our Windows servers (mostly2012 R2). All R710s and R910s we have tried just worked with littleeffort. But, we haven't been able to get any PowerEdge 2950s to work.In all cases we're using a shared NIC; the DRAC has a different IPaddress in the same subnet.I can ping the DRAC IP address on three 2950s; on two I cannot.A web browser cannot get a response from the 2950s.If I run "racadm getsysinfo" on a pingable 2950, I getERROR: RACADM is unable to process the requested subcommand because there is nolocal RAC configuration to communicate with. (Same command on an R710spits out a lot of info.) There definitely is a DRAC; I can configureit by hitting ctrl-E during boot or with OMSA.I suspect a DRAC firmware update may help. I got a bootable ISO ofdrivers for 2950s from[URL] ran for ~half an hour on one 2950 and updated some things, but Ithink not the DRAC firmware.Systems-Management_Firmware_D8GP9_WN32_1.65_A00.EXE from[URL] "not compatible with your system configuration".I have firmimg.d5 from f_drac5v165_A00.exe but I don't know how toinstall it without either a working DRAC or working racadm.I can ssh into the servers where the DRAC is working, but not into theones where it is not working.I know TLS may be a problem for web access. We've disabled TLS 1.0and 1.1 by group policy, but a web browser from a machine not in thedomain also couldn't connect.In DRAC BIOS setup, the top box says 1.28 which I assume is thefirmware version. BMC was 2.1 before update, now 2.5.Any suggestions on how to update the DRAC firmware or any otheractions we should take? Thanks. [/INST] Hello It sounds like the DRAC is either not installed or not functional. The CTL E BMC/DRAC menu is available whether a DRAC is installed or not. If a DRAC is installed the BMC/DRAC menu should list a Remote Access Controller revision. You will also have a couple of extra options, like virtual media configuration. If those are not present then the DRAC is either not functional or not installed. You can find more information in the manuals. [URL] [URL] The DRAC manuals should be under DRAC and BMC manuals should be under Remote Enterprise Systems Management on the Embedded Server Management manuals link.

<s>[INST] I have a PowerEdge 2950 with an attached Powervault MD1000. The connection is made through a PERC 6/E. In the MD1000 I have installed seven (7) 2TB harddrives, with the last 1 installed recently. I have been adding harddrives to the enclosure periodically and performing the "Reconfiguration" each time to add them to the Virtual Disk in RAID-5. I am using VMware 6.0 on the PowerEdge 2950 and accessing it through the vSphere Client (I do not have the vCenter Server). When I view the MD1000 through the Dell OMSA it shows a total capacity of the Virtual Disk at greater than 9TB but when I review the Virtual Disk through vSphere Client it shows a Partition of 3.94TB accessible (and the 9.09TB Capacity). I want to be able to access the entire available capacity through VMWare. Is there something I possibly missed during the installation of the hard drives into the enclosure or is there a limitation that I am not aware? [IMAGE]View of Virtual Disk from Dell OMSA [IMAGE]vSphere Client Datastore View of Virtual Disk [IMAGE]vSphere Client Device View of Virtual Disk [/INST] Hello Speedaemon, Sorry, I thought that you were changing the drives out for larger ones. Since you are just adding drives into empty slots you should be able to expand the virtual disk in the PERC utility or OMSA. Once the new space has been fully added to the virtual disk then you should just have to do a rescan in VMWare and it should see the space & allow it accessible. Since your PERC card is displaying the full size of your virtual disk I would say that there seems to be an issue with VMware. Please let us know if you have any other questions. </s>

What should have been done is removed the firmware SD card from the old one and install it in the new one to keep the revision the same. If you still have the failed CM this is the best option. SSH into the array. as grpadmin and try to run 'update' That firmware is VERY old so it may not work but it should attempt to downgrade the passive CM to 6.0.6 and then restart the CM. Note: If you are not running 6.0.6-H2 (or greater) there is a risk of damage to the VMFS filesystem. Also make sure you have configured ESXi to Dell's best practices. [URL] Regards, Don </s>
<s>[INST] Hey there, VNX5200. I wanted to check out clones, so I created a test to see how it worked. I ran the clone wizard and everything seemed to go well. Unfortunately, I started getting hot spare policy errors. Seems like the process of creating the clone allocated some of my unbound drives to a RAID group for the clone. I deleted the clones, but I can't delete the associated RAID group or the private LUNs. I want to get my hot spares back. Thanks, Drew Morone [/INST] Okay, just in case someone has the same issue. Like I said, the clone wizard allocates drives and creates a raid group when you run it. Apparently on the VNX series, you don't allocate hot spares, you just leave enough unbound drives around to cover your array. My policy is 1:30 drives. Anyway, I was able to figure this out. I had deleted all of the clone references, but had missed one that was hard to find. I did the following in the GUI after choosing my device: You should see the entries there, and you can delete them. This isn't the most obvious place, so it's easy to miss. </s>

<s>[INST] Hi there, we've got a fresh installed NetWorker 9.2.1.5 environment running on CentOS 7.5 Linux. We have five database servers running Oracle 10g on it. The database files are stored in the following folders: Server 1 => /oracle1 Server 2 => /oracle2 ...

I want to do a file system backup for this systems as well and don't want to save the oracle folders because they are very big. I decided to create a directive that looks as follows (due to NetWorker Admin Guide): << /oracle[1-5] >> +skip: In the client setup I chose this directive for each client and set the save set to All. When I start the Workflow for this group the backup action monitor shows the following save sets: Server 1: / /boot /oracle1 Server 2: / /boot /oracle2 and so on... It seems, that the directive is not working. I can't find anything in the logs that says the client tries to use the directive.

Regards Hendrik [/INST] After the backup completes, and you browse the client's files that were backed up, you will see the oracle directory backed up, but not the files within the oracle directories.

<s>[INST] Hi all, I am trying to install Windows Server Essentials 2016 on a T320. I am using a USB key as the boot media. Everything loads fine, until the computer restarts after the initial phase and then I get the windows logo screen. At first it is a high resolution screen then downgrades to a low resolution image with the circle of dots surrounding the windows logo and then nothing happens. If I do a cold restart at that point the installation fails and I have to start from scratch. I am thinking it's a driver issue? I cannot deploy Server 2016 through the LLC as it is not one of the available options, however Dell has certified Server 2016 as an option for T320. At installation, Server 2016 recognized the hard drive and all, no issues there. I have a Raid 10 array of SSDs with one VD already configured for OS deployment. I guess my only other option would be to install Server 2012 R2 and do an in-place upgrade to 2016? Any ideas from anyone would be welcome. [/INST] Ok, So after trying multiple things, here what worked: download the video Matrix driver from Dell (this is the one for my server, check your particular model): [URL] ***during server 2016 install, press the button "load drivers" at the screen where you are picking what drive to install the operating system on and select the appropriate folder where you have video driver saved (I would recommend a USB drive). Pick the matrox video driver. After that everything went buttery smooth. The frustrating thing is that this is a very simple issue to have a workaround, yet there is no mention anywhere in the Dell tech support documents, even though quite a number of 12th generation servers that have been certified as compatible with Server 2016 (I do remember somewhere in some obscure document a mention that the video card is an issue with server 2016, but there was no advice given). Better yet, Dell should just make Server 2016 an option in the lifecycle controller OS deployment ->it would make life easier for everyone since most other drivers are inbox with the server 2016 installation media. As well, check the device manager after install (right click on "this pc" on the desktop and select properties, then look in the upper left corner -> I had to manually install a number of drivers from windows update ->just right click on any devices that server 2016 did not recognize and pick update driver.

The X4012 is quite difficult to work on as most of the config seems to be done in the GUI. Any ideas or script examples would be appreciated. [/INST] A port channel needs to connect from one device to one device. Stacked switches are logically one device. This means that currently you have one port channel split between two devices. To alleviate this you can get rid of port channel 10, or change one of the connections to be a different port channel. The X-series switches do not support stacking, so with a setup like this you will end up with a physical loop and spanning tree will kick in on one of the connections. When configuring a port channel you will need to add the VLANs to the port channel not the individual ports. </s>
<s>[INST] The situation is as follows: I have a PowerEdge T620 that has had a failed drive in an unknown RAID configuration for a year now (!). According to the T620 manual, I need to disable the faulty drive through iDRAC before I can replace it and rebuild the array. Unfortunately, I don't have the login credentials for the iDRAC - the server was set up by a technology consultancy which claims to have already deleted/passed on all relevant password data (They did, but overlooked the iDRAC credentials when doing so...).

I've tried using racadm, but uinstalled it after getting an "Unable to communicate with the BMC" error. I'm wary of installing OMSA because I don't want it to trigger a reboot, but if that fear is unwarranted I'd be willing to try it. I have access to vCenter, ESXi (over SSH), and all of the Windows VMs. Just not the iDRAC. I'm also almost 100% sure that the username is root or administrator, but don't know the password (not that that helps much). I'll answer any questions as best I can. Any and all help is greatly appreciated! [/INST] You have to install it on the host OS, it won¡¯t pass through the commands to a VM. That is also why racadm didn¡¯t work installed on a VM. As for pulling the drive, it is fine most of the time, but it would be better to do it with offlining the drive first, but if you can¡¯t have downtime that is better than leaving the array degraded.

You can create the VD which you have done but you also need space for the replication repositories. If there is no space for the repositories¡¯ then it will fail to replicate.

<s>[INST] We purchased an R740xd a few months back and were told that it would be no problem attaching to a MD1220. The 1220 is loaded with 24x1.6TB MU SSD drives at large cost so there is no easy way to just replace it. However, it now appears that is not (easily) possible. So I had a few ideas and was hoping someone else had at least attempted them: 1 - Buy a 1420 with minimal drives, put in the 1.6TB SSD drives from the previous (MD1220) array. I belive they would need new drive caddies, but I am hoping at least the drives themselves would work 2 - Instead of a Dell PERC adapter, use a 3rd party adapter like Adaptec or LSI. My concern here is that the R740xd doesn't even see the older PERC adapters like the 810 so I am not sure if it would see these either. Any suggestions would be helpful [/INST] Typically I'd expect the R740XD to 'see' the H810 just fine, except maybe in OMSA and/or the iDRAC (other than recognizing it in a PCIe slot). However, if your R740XD only came with a single processor, not all PCIe slots are functional. This could easily be a reason why the card isn't recognized. This page has an overview of which PCIe slots in which riser attach to which processor. If you do have just 1 processor, to upgrade to dual processor (so you can use all PCIe slots), will require an exactly matching processor. If you already have dual (identical) processors, this obviously wouldn't be a possible cause to your issue. Another option is to add a PERC H830 to your server, get a 12Gbit to 6Gbit SAS cable and connect the MD1220 to the PERC H830. </s>
<s>[INST] We have both Equallogic and Compellent storage in our env. and we use both SAN HQ and Storage Manager to manage the storage array. Can someone confirm Storage Manager can be used as replacement of SAN HQ? We I know I can add PS group in the storage manager but not sure if it will collect the same information as SAN HQ. Thanks [/INST] Hello, Storage Manager is not a replacement for SANHQ for PS Arrays. Storage Manager allows a limited set of management features and allows replication to / from the PS groups. It does not provide performance or IO monitoring like SANHQ does. Additionally SANHQ has SupportAssist for PS arrays and will send data to Dell for monitoring and support case creation on HW failures. Lastly SANHQ provides a lot of data for support folks when triaging PS group problems. Regards, Don </s>

<s>[INST] I recently inherited an old network with a failing 3com switch. I am trying to replace the 3com switch in the simplest manner possible with a N2048. Currently, our ISP connection comes in on port 24 (via ethernet handoff from a Level3 router in our basement) on the 3com switch and our firewall plugs in port 48 of the 3com switch. I have attempted to configure the N2048 exactly the same as the existing 3com switch. When I do this and patch the connection in, I have connectivity in our local subnet as well as internet. However, I cannot communicate to a subnet that connects to a remote office. Local subnet: 192.168.6.0/24Local internet gateway: 192.168.6.38Local gateway for remote subnet: 192.168.6.9Remote subnet: 192.168.5.0/24 The remote subnet is accessed through the same connection as the internet via vLAN and static route that the ISP set up. I have the original document that the ISP provided for the configuration as follows: Customer CPE WAN Interface Configuration Requirements: 100M Full Duplex Customer WAN Netblock(s) CIDR - Subnet Mask: Vlan 100 207.67.73.184/29 - 255.255.255.248Vlan 1 192.168.255.0/30 - 255.255.255.252 Customer CPE Default GW / Remote Neighbor IP:207.67.73.185192.168.255.1 Static Route:192.168.6.0/24 - 255.255.255.0 destination 192.168.255.2 On the N2048 ports 1-48 are members of VLAN 1 and ports 24,48 are members of VLAN 100.VLAN 1 are untagged and VLAN 100 are tagged. Comparing the 3COM and N2048 switch everything seems to configured the same. It seems this should be a simple setup but I cannot figure out why the N2048 will not communicate with the remote subnet. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. [/INST] Thanks for posting up the config. I Suggest removing vlan association on VLAN 100. You may need to add a static route for the remote subnet. Something along the lines of: ip route 192.168.5.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.6.9 Which device has IP address 192.168.255.2?

This is output on the serial console: The configuration itself seems to be ok: When I copy the config file onto an usb drive, plug it into the switch and use something like this on the cli: the configuration is applied successfully.

It fails if there is a specific access-list configuration used in the configuration. If the configuration contains this part: copying the configuration files on the cli fails with When I remove the access-list part from the configuration file, copying on the cli works again.

<s>[INST] Hi, I have an X1052P switch (firmware 3.0.0.99) and want to limit access to the management interface to the protocols https and ssh, access to both should just be allowed from vlan1. When I edit "access profiles and rules" in the Web UI, I can just allow or deny one protocol per access profile, not multiple ones. But there is a "priority" field which suggests that multiple access profiles can be active at once. But the screen to activate a profile just allows activating one, not several. Then I tried it using the backup files. There are several entries with "management access-list" and just one entry "management access-class", the latter seems to denote the one active access list. So from this perspective it looks like really just one list can be active at once. So I tried to include several entries in the access list like this: When restoring this file, the switch crashed and rebootet: So how do I limit access to two management methods/protocols and a specific vlan?
