Good Morning, I have a legacy R430 that is well out of support and is in need of both BIOS and iDRAC updates. The current firmware versions are as follows: FIRMWARE CURRENT PLANNED iDRAC 2.70.70.70 2.85.85.85 BIOS 2.11.0 2.18.2

Hi everyone! Can anybody explain what mean this message?

Hi there, We have big amount of DELL servers with dedicated iDRAC port and we manage them separately. For operations such as firmware upgrade, RAID creation, changing BIOS settings on a server, we go to iDRAC of every single server and doing it on every single host. I'm curious, if it's possible to

Hi there, i have 2 R420, one have "System CPLD" firmware version 104 and the other one have 102... is there any way to update it? i cant find it anywhere....Thanks!!!

I would like to ask if 32G can be used in combination with the existing 16G-equipped server.

Hello, Trying to enable SR-IOV on a bunch of R350, CPU Intel Xeon E-2388G, BIOS 1.7.3, iDRAC 7.00.30.00, and the option is just not present, is this a bug or SR-IOV is just not present on R350 ? (can't find any documentation either) EDIT: also tried BIOS 1.0.1 and 1.8.1, option not present either

I had the OME to cloudIQ working on my OME appliance, but due to some issues I decided to build a new OME appliance and now none of my servers are showing up in cloudIQ. Is there a way to reinitialize this connection? From the documentation there is supposed to be a way to remove the plugin, but Im

I am looking for a 2.5 caddy for my XR12 server DP/N 085PPW CN-085PPW-FCT00-35T-01A2-A01 I cannot find it anywhere on your site

Hi all! I purchased a used PowerEdge R430 with no disks and 2 Seagate SAS Savvi 10k.6 disks. My problem is that I inserted the disks in the first two slots of the server, but I can't see them. I reset the BIOS settings, tried setting the RAID mode and configuring the PERC s130, checked that the di

I just setup two Dell T150 servers, identical configs, even the service tags are just one digit off. When I was installing the first one, I noticed the lifecycle controller interface was very sluggish. I did initiate a firmware update from it, and that took about 60-90 minutes to complete.  T

Hi all, I have a weird problem, running a consistency check on a Dell server, and it stays at 15% for the last 2 days. RAID is 5, disks are not Dell, but Ironwolf PRO NAS, 18 Gb each, three disks in a virtual disk. I have alternating orange and green lights on two disks out of three. Any guess what

Hello, i am new to DELL servers and reacently bought a used poweredge R520, my current BIOS version is 1.5.2 and iDRAC is 1.37.35 (Build 02) is it safe to upgrade to newest version or should i go step by step ?

Hello, I have a faulty two-disk RAID0 setup on a Linux host where one of the drives has a number of "Other" errors (smartctl tells me it's been trying to reshuffle blocks for a while).It nominally contains data that I can lose, but of course, I would like to rescue what I can. So far I have been abl

We've got a situation where I'm a bit unsure what the best way to handle would be. Currently we have a RAID-10 Array on a PERC H730 Mini, built upon WD Re SAS drives. Unfortunately 2 out of 4 drives start to report failure and we'd like to replace them. Comparing server age to disk prices, we curren

Hello, we have poweredge R440 with h730 raid controller. Currently we are using only standard sata drives but i would want to install m2 drives and create raid 1 with 2 disks. Is this possible in this model or i am stuck with sata ssd and sas drives?

I acquired a Precision Rack 7910, Power Vault MD1200, and H810 in hopes of transferring my RAID arrays from an old Power Edge T610 with an H700. I an currently using various size and age SATA drives from 1TB up to 10TB in my T610 without any issues. In the MD1200 I have 6 SAS drives that came with i

Sending a test email works fine, but OME is not emailing alerts as it did in previous versions. I even set up a test policy that would email everything to me, but nothing is getting sent out. They are not even hitting our spam appliance (I confirmed OME can ping it).

Has anyone enabled this new feature, and could you give some inside on how you are using this :-)To me it seems it just creates an extra local iDRAC user (OME_[application-GUID]) that OME will use to do server tasks.But it doesn't seems to give the possibility to manage/change the default root passw

Hello, I started having an issue with a this Dell server after installing a new/used idrac card. I did replace both of the cards. The old cards wre not bad I was just testing the new cards. Either way, after installing the cards and starting the server, I was met with all fans on high speed. When bo
