It was suggested to create a new VD without Initialization should fix the issue but It doesn't seem to be selectable. Ever since doing that it has not shown up on the list. But then I did a Initialization and i chose OK when i wanted to choose Cancel.Hence I had to clone the SSD with the image I made prior to doing all of this. Rebooted Server, went into SAS configuration and created second volume-Voila. The configuration of the RAID would have been on the controller moreso than the drives (although there might have been a backup stored somewhere) - the H200 will just see them as drives, likely with an unknown partition table. Oddly enough when I hit F5 (on the VD Mgmt screen) to refresh it starts blinking the 256GB ssd. The Dell support rep stated that the PERC H200 drive was designed for 'Dell' proprietary drives only and that they have released a firmware version in May or June of 2011 that resolves this. The raid5 virtual disk was visible and reported the correct size, but I. Here are some screen shots of the RAID controller config: The old raid5 config was imported with no error messages, but just gave me a lot grief. Sometimes the drive blinks orange really fast and other times its just off. I tried pressing 'F' but it didn't seem to do anything but continue on? And it comes up each time i reboot. The 6TB drive(s) have a lot of stuff on them that i do not want to erase or destroyed by losing the raid 5 array.

So before I do anything on the server I would like an expert on this to let me know what I need to do in order to boot to my Windows Server that's on the 256GB SSD. The RAID with the 256GB SSD looks like this: The below image is what it looks like when I tested out drive 0 with a 320GB HDD. Ive just boughta Dell PowerEdge R410 server with RAID Controller.Dell perc h200 is barnd new card.Now a days PERC H800 is now accessible with the new Dell JBODs.The H200 is a newer controller compared to the PERC line.The problem with PERC H200 is lot when installing Ubuntu 9.10 or 8.04.Sometime harddisk is not recognized.

I also hooked up a regular HDD to drive 0 and it gave me a solid green lite without that error. I took out the 256GB SSD in drive 0 and hooked it up to my external USB adapter on my other computer and it came up just fine with all the files on it being correct and not corrupted. However, drive 0 does not have any lights on at all. I am running the above with a H700 raid PCIe card with Cache Memory of 1GB.ĭrives 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all lite up solid green. 0-256GB SSD 2-Seagate 6TB HDD 4-Seagate 6TB HDDġ-Seagate 6TB HDD 3-Seagate 6TB HDD 5-Blank
