Hi,
We need to verify what System profile is active on Dell powerEdge R720; the only way is during boot at Bios setting or we could find information by iDrac signon ?
Thanks and best regards Umberto

Dell PowerEdge R720 how to display active System profile

R710 Stuck at: Testing Memory Please wait.
When the server turns on, it sits at "Testing Memory Please wait". I've taken out all of the ram and tried different sticks (thinking one may be bad). The other sticks that I've tested are 1GB sticks. The server itself has two CPUs. This server has been working for >6 months and I wanted to apply windows updates to it for this month.
Troubleshooting wise, this is what I've done:
- Scaled down to 1 ram stick.
- Tested different sticks
- Removed all HDDs except for HDD0
I was looking around the idrac6 and I noticed that under Power Supples that the Input Wattage is at 702 with a Max Wattage of 570 (FW version is 00.01.31 btw).. so do I need to get another 570 power supply for my 2nd slot or should I get a single power supply... Not sure what would cause the power to spike like this.
Under Power Monitoring:
- Amperage: 1A@124v
- Reading: 133w | 454 BTU/hr
I've tried everything I can think of to get this to work... what else can I do?

R720xd & PERC H710mini - configuring raid, hard drives are not detected
Hi
First of all, please bare with me (if I ask/say really stupid stuff), I just started working with all that.
Setup: R720xd (6x "Constellation ES.3 4TB" in the front, 2x "Enterprise Performance 10K HHD v7" in the back) and a PERC H710 mini
Goal: Raid 5 with the 6 "big" drives and raid 1 with the 2 "small" drives
Current State: everything boots up fine, all the drives are "detected" (= are shown during the boot process). The H710 is detected too, seems to work fine (except I can't access the greyed out "configure virtual/physical drives")
Problem: I'm not able to set up any kind of raid because there are no physical drives (ctrl+r: everything is greyed out, can't do anything). When I tried setting up a raid in the menu (sorry, don't know what it's called) it says that the hard drives need to be initialized with rom during the boot, I can't find that option for my life.
What to do?
Thanks in advance!
Ramsie
Edit:
Found this thread, unfortunately didn't help.
Answer 1: disable integrated raid controller - then the ctrl-r prompt didn't pop
Answer 2: set PERC as boot device - there is no option to do that

R510 A bus fatal error slot 3
R510 Description: A bus fatal error was detected on a component at slot 3, what is slot 3?
The server is a 4 bay non hot swap with 3 drives in RAID5 on a PERC S300, the 4th channel has a 1TB SSD on it. I've updated the drives from 500GB to 1TB's and installed Server 2012 R2 SP2. I have had 2 of these errors in the last 2 days and need to know what to address.
I'm thinking slot 3 is the PCI express bus, maybe PCI3ASM1062 Serial ATA Controller can anyone confirm and suggest what to do?

Triple RAID1
I just ordered a new T630. It had been a while since I had to order a new server, so I fell back on my old RAID1/RAID5 plan. Despite the fact that drives have come down in price, I could not quite push my client (cost-wise) to RAID10. So now I have OS RAID1 and data RAID5 (three drives).
That is not a bad solution, but reflecting now upon the fact that I ordered drives sized that even RAID 1 would provide plenty of data storage, I wonder if I would be better off with RAID1 + host spare.
- Would RAID1 be preferable to RAID5 to simply recovery in case of failure?
- Is it possible to convert my RAID5 to RAID1? I assume RAID1 with HS.
- How? Shortcut to a Dell-specific instruction URL would be helpful. It is probably in the pre-boot utilities somewhere; however, if there is a Windows option, that would make life even simpler.
And, while I am at it, is there any such thing as three-way RAID1 to allow double-redundancy?

PowerEdge C6105 doesn't boot after LSI Controller added
We have several C6105 servers and all of our Nodes are running the same LSI 9260-8i add-in RAID controller. We recently purchased another C6105 and removed the In Mezzanine slot: LSI® 2008 6Gb SAS mezzanine and replaced with the In PCIe slot: LSI 9260-8i add-in RAID controller. After making this hardware change the Node simply flashes the Hard Drives but won't power on. I have been able to duplicate this issue on a second node using and a second PCIe LSI card. Also this may be nothing, but the fans seem to be running a lot faster now as well.
Prior to the hardware swap the Nodes were configured and running ESXi 5.0 without issue.

E141C & E2011 on PowerEdge 2950-II.
This server has been sitting for about 8 months, and the last time I used it it was running fine. It was not connected to any power in that downtime.
It has 2x2core Xeons and 8x2GB RAM.
I decided to set it up in my rack today for a project and it would not power on at all, throwing E141C CPU Mismatch. After some troubleshooting I concluded that neither CPU would work in Socket 2, and both CPUs would work in Socket 1. Ok, I'll just run it with one CPU then...
Now it is powering up but I'm not getting any display via VGA ports and it's throwing a code for E2011 Mem Config Error. I tried all sorts of different combinations of installing those RAM modules including a single module in slot 1. If any RAM is installed in this server I get E2011, and if no RAM is installed I get the code for no RAM detected.
I moved the NVRAM jumper over, booted, shut down, moved jumper back. Same issue.
What could the problem be? I can't even get this thing to display anything I don't even know if it's posting. Worked fine last time I played with it which makes this even more frustrating.

Missing DUP for SEAGATE Constellation ES.3 4 TB NLSAS
Not all of my servers can run OMSA. I have noticed, that the SEAGATE ST4000NM0023 drives in the OMSA servers have received the firmware update to version GS0F from this package:
SEAGATE_Constellation_ES_3_4TB_NLSAS_512N_EC_7_2K_RPM_componentid_30688-a06-1
I am missing a normal Dell Update Package with this firmware version that I could install on the machines without OMSA. The latest release of Dell Nautilus Firmware Update Utility is A13 and it contains firmware GS0D for this disk.

Dell PowerEdge R410 Perc S300 and Windows 2012
I would like to install Windows 2012 Standard and I there is no driver for the Perc S300 controller.
I read to reroute the SATA data connectors into the motherboard and bypass the S300. But the SATA data cables provided do not allow me to do that. Which Dell cables I need to purchase that will allow me to do that?
Thanks!

How to know which driver package to use for my Dell Bare Metal Server Deployment Task Sequence
In the Select a Driver Package Wizard, there are several packages that I imported from the Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation DVD ISO download that pertain to Server 2012 R2, but I have no idea which driver package to select.
I see Dell PEFC, Dell PEFM, Dell PEM, Dell PER.
I did not order this server and I am working remotely so I am not certain how I can obtain this info.
If someone can offer some guidance, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
