Reply To: HPE E208i-p Raid Card HI all, So it seems the only raid card supported by HP is the HPE E208i-p raid card. Whilst I’m loathed spent the £200 on the card, it is looking…

Nothing today and delivery status just says scheduled for 2nd attempt delivery but nothing to say when that will be and nothing to say address has been updated so no idea, I can only assume will be Monday.. if they fail again, they will hold it and I’ll need to go collect

So now I’ve still got issue with bay 2 OVERHEATING but what’s weird is that this occurs as soon as I turn the box on and the SSD etc are cold to touch so I’m not entirely sure what’s happening.  I’ve had server turned off at the wall socket all night so not even been in “standby mode” so can access ilo etc – all off, turn on today (have “repaired” all IML logs and still same error.

I’m now wondering if its a sensor maybe? not sure how it tells if it is overheating…

I’ve taken the 850 EVO drive out and temp connected to my windows machine as a 2nd drive and run Samsung magician which tells you state of drive and also if any firmware updates are due – all fine and no firmware updates reported so that’s all ok.

I’m now left with is it complaining due to bay 1 having 860 EVO with 100% life left and bay 2 has a850 EVO? or is it a sensor/issue with the server?

I’m in process of trying to check/update server firmwares for bios, raid card etc, bit looong winded process to get the files (creating accounts etc) and currently trying to make USB key so can update accordingly.

Anyone have any idea how I can move my 2 x 2TB WD Gold drives in RAID 1 from microserver gen 8 to microserver gen 10 plus? I can’t find anyone who has done this.. the gen 8 uses I think a B120i raid controller (inbuilt) and my gen 10 plus I have a E208i-p raid card.  Everything i read implies can move from like for like raid cards but these are totally different….

Also just discovered a issue with y plan to move to windows 2022 server, seems like i need domain functional level to be min 2008, which is fine, mine is 2012 BUT it seems I need to move sysvol to DFSR and I’m using FRS still as apparently FRS has been dropped now….

So more to investigate and work out how to do before can start migrations once i figure out how to get drives move to gen 10 plus.. I got a horrible feeling I’m going to have to move the VMs off again to temp locations, put the drives in new box and then setup raid and then move the VMS back… loong process :( Was hoping as still HPE cards, the smart array would detect the raid on it but bit of a gamble if i plug them in and it doesn’t like them or see the raid..
