Hi, I was asked if NL-SAS drieves from Seagate (ST4000NM0023) can be used in following setup. Dell MD1200 + Perc H710 + PowerEdge R720XD. The answer I gave them was - this needs to be tested. Because in the documentation it is stated that Dell branded hard drives have to be used. I know that cer

Hi We are getting FS7600 to replace EMC ns20, now I am bit worried if fs7600 can do what ns20 has been doing for years Such as 1) integrate with multiple none trusted windows AD. 2) vlan tagging so that we can use same trunking port to transfer data for multiple AD. 3) dedupe of CIFS data. I know it

Hi, What's the best practice to move a volume from a PS4100 to another PS6100 The two PS are not in the same group. Today we have a PS5000XV which replicate on the PS4100. The administrator have create 2 volumes on the PS4100 (because there is not enough space on the PS5000XV). We will replac

Good day, This may not be the right place to ask this but, when I was going through the build options for a R720xd server I got to the HD selection and noticed that since I chose a RAID 5+1 I had to choose at least 2 SATA drives and then SAS drives for the RAID 5. I thought it wasn't a good idea to

Hi - I'm looking at a new 4100E with SANHQ - I'm pretty new to it, so I'm digesting a lot of new stuff right now. I'm watching the Estimated Max IOPS It's saying 313 right now, but for the last day I'm running between 900 and 1900 IOPS. Read/Write is 58%/42%. So where is the estimated max coming f

HI,    I have a 4000XV and a new 4100E. Both are running RAID 6. If both are in the same storage pool will load balancing work properly? We have VMware guests and backup data on them. Both are on 6.0.2. Thanks,     Ed

We have several arrays, some SATA and some SAS. The SAS one looks fine when using this tool but the SATA one (above) always says the array is maxed out. This would be a concern except that the IOPS for both read and write climb several times higher that the level where it first shows 100% usage. Lik

All, I am running a Dell PowerEdge with the Perc 6/i card. When the server was setup, a RAID 5 was created of three 2TB hard drives. During the initial build, I discovered that I could not create a single 4TB RAID 5 array and be able to install windows. The solution I found was to create two sepa

Hi There, We want to upgrade our ISCSI switches from 5424 to Dell Powerconnect 6248, 7048 or Force 10 S50N switches. The switches will be dedicated to ISCSI traffic for 3 Equallogic arrays en must be able to support a few additional arrays. Any advice? Thanks.

Hi , I badly needed your help because I'm now Deploying PowerVault MD3600f Storage Array. I installed already the MDSM Application software and storage array is already connected to the host. Once I clicked, Manage Storage Array, there is an error message appearing , Your Manage software is not co

Hi, I actually very new to Equallogic and just supplied 2unit of Dell Equallogic PS4110E with 6x3TB HDDs to a customer. For some reason, they are not confident of the reliability of the product. I have tried to convince them accordingly but they just don't buy it. Seems that they got burned on so

Firmware upgrade from 5.0.8 to any newer version of PS firmware fails!   Any Ideas?

Using some PS6000's (Sata and SAS) as a back end for ESXi and looking at both the graphical display on SanHQ and the raw data on an export but I'm not able to make sense of the latency information. Generally for fields, the data in the Pool or Member column matches very closely to the sum of the vo

Hello! I need to merge storage pools to allow for load balancing across members. Can I safely merge the pools whilst the volumes are being accessed (by ESXi and VMs)?

Hi .... We have a dell Equilogic SAN PS4000e, with 2 Esxi hosts The setup was made by a consultant 2 years ago... He made 5 volumes on the SAN... Now i want to add more volumes (we have 2.3 TB free in the SAN) I have read the documentation for the SAN about adding volumes but feel a bit insec

Hi, Just switched jobs from an HP server and storage environment to a Dell server and IBM storage environment. So how do I find HBA drivers (QLE2462 and QLE2562 in PE R710 and R910 servers? I am trying to search for them, I am trying to drill down in the storage section. All I can find so far is
