DL360p direct connect to 3PAR 7200?

$
0
0

I'm in an interesting situation of inheriting a contract for IT engineering from a previous contractor that was fired. As a result I have a bunch of hardware that was ordered by the last guy that I have little to no understanding of what their intention was for it.

I have several sets of 4xDL360P servers and an accompanying 3PAR 7200 SAN.  I THINK the intention was to directly connect the dual HBAs on the DL360Ps to the 3PAR (no fiber switch, none was ordered).  While looking up the concept of direct connect, or flat SAN, to a 3PAR StoreServe 7000 series I keep seeing references to it being done with a c7000 blade system.  We have some other enclaves setup like that.  I can't find any reference in documentation of rack mount servers being directly connected to a 3PAR.

Does anyone know if you can directly connect a bunch of rack mount DL360s to a 3PAR 7000 series?  The HBAs work out to directly connect.  There are 4x fiber ports on each storage processor and 2 SPs (8 total).  Each serer has 2 HBAs.  In theory I could wire the first server HBA to the first SP and the second HBA to the second SP and it would work out perfectly.  I however have no way of knowing if this is a supported configuration.

Has anyone done this?  Does anyone know of any documentation describing this config?

Oh and the servers will be VMware ESXi hosts.

Thanks.

Any ideas ? 

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on a DL160 G9 Server

hp proliant 380 g7 Raid 5

We have servers hp proliant 380 g7, which has an arrangement in Raid 1 and Raid 5, recently a server was damaged, did not fire more and we did not have opportunity to back up the information that contained, so we chose to change it for a server that we have In stock, so we generate in the new server raid 1 and raid 5 again and place the hard disks of the previous server in the same position on the new server, when starting with the new server if windows startup normally as in the previous one Server but to our surprise raid 5 does not recognize it and asks me to format it which we did not do and it appears partitioned (on the previous server if we had it partitioned) but without assigning a volume and without the contained information

My question is is there any procedure for me to recognize raid 5 or if we delete the information with what we did?

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit on a DL160 G9 Server

I have two DL160 G9 servers that we are trying to install Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.  I do not see any direct support for this on any of the HP webpages.  I am wondering:

A. Is this possible?

B. If so, what is the nearest Windows Server version that would be equivalent to the Win 10 we have?  (Server 2012R2 ? or Server 2016 or another.

C. Driver set for the Proliant peripherals.

We already have Win 7 Pro 64-bit installed on these, which I was told was equivalent to one of the earlier Windows Server editions.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi, 

I have a DL320 G5p running on Windows 2003 recently have a hardware malfunction error. I have done a physical check and no amber light were to be found. Is there any other way to detect if it's really a hardware issue besides accessing it through the ilo? 

Windows logs have been collected from the event viewer as well, but nothing significant was found. 

Please advise, thank you!

Tenemos servidores hp proliant 380 g7, el cual tiene un arreglo en Raid 1 y Raid 5, recientemente se daño un servidor, no encendió mas y no tuvimos oportunidad de respaldar la información que contenía, por lo cual optamos por cambiarlo por un servidor que tenemos en stock, por lo que generamos en el servidor nuevo el raid 1 y raid 5 nuevamente y colocamos los discos duros del anterior servidor en la misma posición en el servidor nuevo, al arrancar con el nuevo servidor si inicio windows server normalmente como en el anterior servidor pero a nuestra sorpresa el raid 5 no me lo reconoce y me pide formatearlo lo cual no lo hicimos y me aparece particionado(en el servidor anterior a si lo teníamos particionado ) pero sin asignarle un volumen y sin la información contenida

 

Mi pregunta es existe algun procedimiento para que me reconosca el raid 5 o si con lo que hicimos borramos la información?

Adding hard drives to ML350e server

Hi everyone, 

I have an ML350e Gen 8 server (p/n 686771-S01) in which I added a P420 controller at purchase (p/n 631670-B021). The first drive cage is filled to capacity with 6 LFF drives.

I need to add hard drives to this server to increase storage space.

From what I found online, I would need to add a second P420 controller. I also need an additional LFF drive cage  with the hot plug backplane, but I just can't find the part number for this item.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Array A

physicaldrive 1I:1:9 (port 1I:box 1:bay 9, SATA HDD, 4 TB, OK)

Array B

physicaldrive 1I:1:11 (port 1I:box 1:bay 11, SATA HDD, 6 TB, OK)

Array C

physicaldrive 1I:1:8 (port 1I:box 1:bay 8, SATA HDD, 6 TB, OK)

Array D

look at array G, why it mark an internal drive as an external drive, and repeat once again.

Upgrading existing drives by hot swapping

Hi everyone, 

say I have a RAID array made up entirely of identical 2TB drives and I want to upgrade these drives to 3TB ones. Can I simply remove 1 drive, wait 1 minute and slide in a new 3TB drive, wait for the rebuild, and do the same procedure 1 drive at a time until they are all replaced?

My concern is that I would not be replacing the hard drive with an identical part number....

Thanks for the info.

TPM Module for Gen8 Servers

$

From what I read is that TPM 2.0 Module from HPE is only supported on Gen9 or later servers. Is this correct?

So if I have Gen8 servers then I need to use TPM 1.2, but that encryption is using SHA1 so it basically isn't secure. I'm trying to verify that I can't put a 2.0 module in a Gen8 server. If I'm only left with a 1.2 module then I don't think it is worth using the module.

Thank you

ProLiant ML350 Gen9

Hi to All

I have a question to ask

One of my clients is running ProLiant ML350 Gen9 server with an embedded P440ar Raid Controller connected to 1 Drive Cage with 8 x SFF drives. They are adding another Cage Drive with another 8 Drives but was supplied with External P440 Raid Controller should they be supplied with a SAS Extender Card to connect to the Cage Drive. I can only find documetation refer to the extender card. According to our presales team It is an support configuration and that I can install the External P440 card and connect it directly to Drive Cage 2 port 1 and 2. However I have tried it but the server sees the P440 but dont see any drives connected to it. I cant find any documentation about this.

The ACU does not have the option of Expanding the logical drive but can create another logical drive with the free space. I read that I need a battery backed write cache. I need to know what kind or if there is any specification for this particular part? The Array is Dynamic Smart Array B120i RAID.

 

Thank You in advance

ML350 Gen6 - power on failure

$

I have a Proliant ML350 Gen6 server that was having problems with randomly shutting off. I could power it back on and it would stay afloat for a day or an hour and then shut back off.

I tested the power supplies in a similiar model and found those to be in working order. I then read that this problem was caused by a failing system board. I have since replaced the system board, but the problem remains. I can hear the system begin to power on but then it dies, tries again one or two more times, then dies for good. I was never able to see anything in the logs warning of a component failure or an impending drive failure, etc. Server has been working fine without any issue for the past 8 months.

Am I at a point where the Power Supply Backplane might have failed? I'm not sure where else to look.

 

Thanks.
