intel RST raid 1 preserve data greyed out

Hello, at the moment i'm bit frustrated, my situation looks like this:

 

1. i had intel RST raid 1 (seagate 1TB constelletion x 2 ) setup (in bios set Raid and intel RST), raid 1 was working, but both DRIVES started to fail (realocated sector count and other smart errors).

 

2. I bought new 4TB seagate raid disks

 

3. I removed one old 1Tb hard drive and put in new 4TB hard drive and marked as spare, raid rebuilded with new and old drive

 

4. i removed 1Tb hard drive and resseted 4Tb drive from CTRL-I as non raid drive

 

5. i streched 4Tb raid drive to maximum in disk management (because it is MBR-NTFS not GPT it's not bigger than 2TB...), for now 2Tb enough later i will reinstall server to 4TB and GPT, but i dont know how to proceed...

 

6. i updated server firmware to latest (intel server board 1200bt), and the installed latest intel RST software.

 

what i wan't to accomplish is create RAID from intel RST raid 1 preserving data

 

intel_rst.JPG

but how You see this option is greyed out...

 

And here is screenshot of disk management (i deleted other backups disks to better understand):

disk_management.JPG

if anyone would advise me, what to do? How to build raid1 with preserving data?

 

Should i backup everthing and reinstall windows server with GPT partitions, and then how to restore everything as it was?

 

And here is screenshot from CTRL-I (it was taken before i upgraded intel RST software)

S2600CO4 with (2) E5-2643 not reporting processor thermal margin

I have two S2600CO4 boards and neither of them reports processor thermal margin sensors.

 

P1 Therm Margin  | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | na    | na    | na  
P2 Therm Margin  | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | na    | na    | na  
P1 Therm Ctrl %  | na     | percent| na| na    | na    | na    | 30.000| 50.000| na  
P2 Therm Ctrl %  | na     | percent| na| na    | na    | na    | 30.000| 50.000| na  

 

Nor do them report DIMM thermal margins

DIMM Thrm Mrgn 1 | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | 5.000 | 10.000| na  
DIMM Thrm Mrgn 2 | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | 5.000 | 10.000| na  
DIMM Thrm Mrgn 3 | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | 5.000 | 10.000| na  
DIMM Thrm Mrgn 4 | na     | degrees C  | na| na    | na    | na    | 5.000 | 10.000| na  

 

The end result is that all the fans in the system run at full RPM.  The system itself is fully functional otherwise.  BIOS is at version 2.04.0003, BMC is at 1.22.6890, ME is at 02.01.07.328 and FRU/SDR is at 1.12.  Update was done from the latest EFI package for the board.  The system event log has entries noting the processor thermal margin sensor failures.

 

I have reflashed all the images individually.  I have verified that the SDR table is getting updated -- I slightly changed the name of the processor thermal sensors and verified that the new name showed up in the the RMM sensor table as well as an "ipmitool sensor".

 

The system is in a non-Intel chassis.  Fans are connected for system fan 1-3, rear fan, and cpu fan 1 and 2.  When updating the FRU/SDR records, the update script properly identifies it as an "other" chassis and prompts me for the various fan connections.

 

I'm looking for suggestions on what I might be missing here.

S2600GZ undocumented LED diagnostic code?

We have four identical servers based on the S2600GZ board, three of which are running with the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs lit in the combination 1101(amber)0100(green), while the fourth one has all of them off.

 

That combination (D4h) is undocumented in the Technical Product Specification doc for the board, and I wonder what it could mean...  all three servers show up as healthy in the RMM4 web interface.

 

Thank you.

I have a server with a 1200 V3 series server board. The RAID controller is showing one of the drives failed. Replaced the drive and mother board but the problem remains.

In this case slot 0. I have replaced the drive and it goes through the rebuild then shows failed again. To continue to troubleshooting I replaced the mother board and rebuild the array. When I left the server the array was rebuilding. I came back and the array is showing the drive in slot 0 failed again. I am seeing the following message in the logs in the Intel RAID Web Consile 2. " ID 113, Error Level [Information, 0] Description Controller ID:0 Unexpected sense: PD = 0-No additional sense information, CDB = 0x35 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00, Sense 0x70 0x00 0x0b 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x80 0x00 0x02. Any idea what is wrong. Like I said I replaced the drive and then the motherboard. I am not sure what is going on. Note that the first drive I pulled passed a disk diagnostic with flying colors. Thank in advanced for any insight to this issue. I also set up email reporting and got this message from the server.

Adding drives to a raid 5 to increase storage space

March 14, 2015, 8:44 am

Hello all,

I have a raid 5 array I build for a HTPC/server with aIntel® RAID Controller SRCSASBB8I. Running windows7 64bit.

 

Never had one issue glad to say except now I am runing out of storage space. I have 6,1TB Drives that yields around 4.8 TB of usable storage.

 

I thought I could simply connect another drive to the card, scan for it with the web console utility and add it. But the drive doesn't populate,show up in the console.

 

My questions,

1. It is a new drive I am adding. I didn't format it first. Maybe this needs to be done? It's the same exact drive model as all the others.

 

2. Is there any risk of corrupting the existing data on the current array when adding additional drives to increase the storage size?

 

3. In order to be able to do this was I suppose to configure the array a special way when I first initialized the virtual disk?

 

If it's best to back up all my data deleted the array and start all over because I didn't configure something to be able to add drives like this then so be it. I will do. I just would love to learn what it is that's needed so I don't find myself doing this again. 

 

Thanks in advance for any and all help!!!

Ignorance is a bliss sometimes, but once one becomes aware, one wants to know what it might be or how to react.

So, the RAID Web console is sending messages like these from time to time.

Rapid Storage Technology enterprise - Windows isn't recognizing the full RAID 5 drive space

March 17, 2015, 11:17 am

I just setup my first server using an S1200v3RLP Intel board and Windows 2012 R2.  I configured the BIOS to see my 5 2TB drives as Raid 5 using Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise (RSTe).  After installing the driver during the OS install and loading the application, I waited about 2 days for the raid array to complete the initialization process.  Now, windows is still saying that I only have 2TB, not the full 7TB. Do I need to create the volume again in Windows, similar to what I did when I first setup the RAID in EFI?  If so, will this destroy my current info (OS + windows updates).  I've read the Windows OS user guide for RSTe, but I'd have a little more comfort if I had some feedback from the community.

Hello,

 

Building first server with a S2600CW2 and P4304XXMFEN chassis.

 

When running FRUSDR 1.07 it says it cannot auto detect chassis.

 

Is this normal for the above combo? Tried with previous FRUSDR 1.05 with same result.

 

Should this combo be detected?

raw ipmi command to retrieve NIC 1 MAC address on S2600GZ

Hi there,

 

what is the right approach to retrieve the NIC 1 MAC address (for OS usage) via IPMI?

 

NOTE: I am assuming the system is powered off and that a DHCP server assigned an IP address to the BMC LAN channel 1.

 

The S2600GZ technical product specification section 6.10.3.2.3 highlights the convention used to assign MAC address so conceptually one could calculate it from the BMC LAN channel 1 MAC address (by subtracting 4) but that seems brittle so I am looking for the (raw) IPMI command to provide that info directly!?

 

Other vendors implemented vendor-specific IPMI commands but I can't seem to find the doc that would cover an S2600GZ board..

 

Thanks & cheerio, Harry.

Hi, everyone

 

My server has a nic card of which PCIe MPS(max payload size) capability is 1024 bytes.

However, the MPS of the nic card negotiated is 128 bytes.

We search for the reason and we found that the MPS capability of the intel PCIe bridge connected with our nic is 128 bytes.

Our OS is linux.

Please let me know if there is any method for modifing the MPS of our nic?

If the MPS of the bridge is 128bytes, is the MPS of the nic connected to it alway under 128bytes?

 

Thanks in advnace.
