終於等到 H700 所需的Sff-8087
寫住Home server 的上半Part先

Hardware

  • MB-  MSI Z68A-G45 B3
  • CPU – Intel i7-2600
  • Memory – 4GB DDR3 1333 x 4
  • HBA – Dell PERC H700 512MB with BBU
  • Disk – 2TB SATA HDD x5 (3 Brand 4 Models, RAID 5, 2 Logical Disk)
  • NIC – Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 Dual Port GbE, onboard Realtek 8111D
  • Power – Antek 380W Power Supply

Software

  • Host – vmware ESXi 5
  • guest – pfSense 2.0
  • guest – Server 2008R2 as NAS

Side view, overcrowded

MSI Z680A-G45 (B3), HK$9xx have VT-d

Dell PERC H700

ESXi installed on 2GB USB Flash, in picture also have H700 battery backup unit.

Front view – the FAN controller lower the HDD Case fan noise

Installed LSI CIM Provider, can view card status

VT-d enabled in BIOS, can mark device for vmdirectpath I/O

由於PERC 5/i 在VT-d 環境下出現Data Loss Link 所以由Dell order 了張新RAID 卡。可惜淘宝 order 的兩條 SFF-8087 to SATA cable 還未到手，這個週末未能上機。

因為PERC5i 對應 VT-d 有問題，要轉用別一張RAID卡了 (已order Dell H700) 。

在換卡之前，對現有的DELL PERC做了些功課
以下是DELL PERC 對應 LSI OEM/型號

找了很久也未能在LSI的網頁找到LSISAS2108的專頁。連LSISAS2208也找不到。似所有RAID5、RAID6 的ROC資料也收起了。

上前有部DELLBlade Server壞HDD，因為有pro support，有兩個(外包)DELL Engine上來幫手REBUILD  >_<"。

我問佢地如何在ESXi 下知道RAID CARD 的status。佢地就打了好幾個電話，過了半個鐘後同我講返 『現時沒有方法』…

其實在佢地上來之前，我已用MegaCLI for vmware 睇完.

在ESXi 4下裝MegaCLI好簡單，只在到LSI個WEB 下載，並且抄到ESXi 入面。再入SSH chmod 返個檔案 executable 就可以用。

但到了ESXi 5 就出事了。有個檔案不見了。

./libstorelib.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ERROR:Could not detect controller.
Failed to get ControllerId List.
Failed to get CpController object.

找了一會也找不到libstorelib.so。最後把心一橫，由ESXi 4.1內抄過來，可以正常執行了。

MegaCLI version 8.02.16

本來要10GbE CX4 接口, 但後來order了10GbE Stacking.
幸運的是Stacking與否只差一粒100ohm電阻.

這張是除去電阻後

當日都幾旺場。先是Datacenter個門口裝修, 再有鄰居裝FIREWALL (4隻2U Juniper SSG520), 再加埋我地成車電腦.
