Dell T410 with Perc6/i RAID initalization problem

1. offizieller Beitrag

    I was given a Dell T410 server that has a Perc6/i raid card in it. The donor of the machine removed all of the drives from it, so I am starting from scratch on the OS and decided to give OMV a shot. I have a small SSD installed as my OS drive. I installed two 500GB drives as test drives and striped them for the RAID. OMV boots and sees the drive, but when I attempt to initialize the drive it crashes the RAID drive. I chose the EXT4 format for the drive.


    I know RAID is a pain in the rear, but this machine uses a backplane RAID solution for the drives, and it only has two available SATA power connectors. I'm not against loosing the RAID card, just now sure how I will power the drives as I want to run a rather large NAS (30+TB).


    Any thoughts on making the RAID / backplane work? I've had some classes in the past on Linux, but consider me a newbie on Linux.


    Thanks for any help!!!

    Use OMV 3.x. It should support that machine better. I have one myself but I don't have the PERC card or backplane though.

    Thank you, I will give OMV 3.x a shot. If I may ask, how many drives are you running and how did you get around the power issue by not using the backplane?

    I didnt have the backplane so I had 6 sata powr connectors. I had 10 drives in it and used some silverstone 4 to 1 power splitters.

    included RAID Card only support Disk up 2TB, is a limited of this controller, if still is good for you, my suggest is to comfigure aeach disk in BIOS as a separate RAID 1 DISK , so OMV can see all disk that you have and not a big RAID DIsk.


    Once done, you can create a Raid Disk in WebGUI (OMV) and use it.


    other options is to use some of the provided pluggings to create a snapRAID or a aufs or simmilar pool of disk.
