Hello,
I'm not very familiar with these SAN products. I am trying to free up space as the MD3200 is completely full. It was previously used for Veeam backups, but those are now going to a different target. I went into a mapped drive that appears to point to one of the virtual disks on the Powervault. I cleaned out a bunch of old backup files (6 TB), but the Modular Disk Storage Manager is still showing that it is full. Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!
Jason
Hello,
We have a failed controller card. Can you please help me determine the part number so that I can purchase a replacement?

Hello, recently i got Dell MD3000 Dual controller storage, but it is actually locked and i can't get in by Dell Storage Manager. Previous ovner said that Storage stop working after he tried to update firmware but something go wrong.
I managed to connect via serial cable and upload firmware by startup menu (ctrl +b, selection 2, first NVSRAM, after full Firmware), but even after that i still can't connect to storage via storage manager (but i can connect via telnet).
Boot log (captured via putty connected to serial port):

So, what i can do now?
I have three PE R820's (Dell 6 Gbps SAS HBA) attached in duplex mode to an MD3220 and MD1220. The MD3220 has 24 x 900GB 10k RPM SAS 2.5” HDD configured in RAID-10. Unfortunately, I do not have the Premium Feature which would enable SSD Cache.
I have a chance to purchase six (6) Dell P/N 6R5R8 (SanDisk LB206M) 200GB 2.5” 6Gbps SAS SLC SSD drives for a great price. I don’t plan on creating a separate disk group on the MD3220 just for these SSDs.
Can anyone tell me if it’s possible to realize the performance benefits of the SSDs without purchasing the SSD Cache Feature Key? If the answer is no, can anyone give me a rough idea what the cost is for the SSD cache feature key?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi,
We have an issue with our TL4000 with a IBM ULT3580-HH6 drive since yesterday.
It gives on all media the following error message:
The device has reported the following TapeAlert diagnostic information.
Please contact your device manufacturer for more information regarding TapeAlerts.
Critical - The operation has failed because the media cannot be loaded and threaded.
1. Remove the cartridge, inspect it as specified in the product manual, and retry the operation.
2. If the problem persists, call the tape drive supplier help line.
Robotic Library: IBM 5
Drive: IBM 2
Slot: 1
Critical - The operation has failed:
1. Eject the tape or magazine.
2. Reinsert the tape or magazine.
3. Restart the operation.
Robotic Library: IBM 5
Drive: IBM 2
Slot: 1
We have a WIN2008 server with Backup Exec connected to the TL4000.
It recognizes all tapes, its able to read the barcodes (from old and new tapes) but as soon as a job starts it gives the message BAD MEDIA.
When I try to erase a new or old tape its giving the exact same message: BAD MEDIA
An orange light starts blinking on the drive as well. The only way to get the errors away is to remove all tapes from the library.
After that I can add tapes to the I/O slots, import them and they will be recognized. They show up as overwritable/appendable, no orange lights everything green.
Untill a job starts.
There is no warranty or support on the system anymore.
Anyone any ideas?
THanks in advance
Hello dell community,
we are having two TL2000 librarys and on both of them the iSCSI bridge has had the default password changed.
Can you please help reset them?

3. Did the system do something on its own to clear/resolve the error?
Hi all. I hope that someone here could give me a good advice.
We have configured a Dell PE 2950 equipped with a PERC 5/e (pci express) controller and connected to an MD1000 configured in split mode (let's say P1 and P2). Port 0 on PERC 5/e, connected to Channel 0 IN (P1) on MD1000 and Channel 1 to Channel 1 (P2) .
This configuration worked well (we have two Raid 10 volumes on P1 and two Raid 5 volumes on P2) , until we lost communication to MD1000 (all the volumes were not available for the OS). We rebooted the server and when the initialization on the external controller has done we have this message:
"Invalid SAS topology detected. Please check your cable configurations, repair the problem, and restart your system."
ok we had already checked the cables... substituted them and also changed the controller Perc 5/e on the server, but nothing. Then we have been trying with this configuration:
- Connect only one adapter on MD1000 to the controller (eg Port 0 on PERC 5/e, connected to Channel 0 IN (P1) on MD1000 and then after the initialization phase we reach the error (warning) :
"All of the disks from your configuration are gone. If this is an unexpected message, then please power off your system and check your cables to ensure all disks are present.
Press any key to continue, or 'C' to load the configuration utility."
If I continue then there's another message warning about...
Entering the configuration utility in this state will result in driveconfiguration changes. Press 'Y' to continue loading the configuration utilityor please power off your system and check your cables to ensure all disks arepresent and reboot.
I powered off and i'm here for any good advice... I've been checking for torubleshooting procedures but i didn't find till now anything... In my opinion it seems an issue related to MD1000 itself, and there is the opportunity to find a new refurbished... but I would like to know from you if is it possible to go step by step in recovering the raid configuration from the disks importing the foreign config first on P1 part of MD1000 and the on P2.
Thanks in advance
Cheers.

Where can I get the latest SMI-S provider for Dell PowerVault MDXX series storage devices? The last provider I could find online was 'DELL_Array-WS32-10.32.0G06.0002.exe' but this does not appear to work with MD3400 devices with the latest RAID controller firmware (08.25).
I notice that NetApp E-Series latest SMI-S provider is based around the following:
Release 10.34.0G00.0008 is an SMI-S 1.6.1 Provider update release.
The highest firmware level supported for this release is 8.25.
I tested this because the software is all based around OpenPegasus CIM Server and it allows me to add MD3400s to the CIMMON, but then the device is being classified as a NetApp box by Solarwinds because I am using a NetApp provider. It is strange that it works at all...
Where is the latest Dell SMI-S provider?

Dear,
I'm purchasing new 4 TB Seagate for my MD3260i, is it nesserary to be Dell Certified?
Here's the Disks specifications i'm buying:

Hello,
We had a failed controller card on an MD3220, so we ordered a replacement. We received a new controller card from our Dell part rep and swapped it out. We can now see the card and it is showing as online.
Immediately following, I found that the other controller is giving us this SAS Port Failed error. All connections have been verified as seated properly. Any idea what could be causing this?
MD3600i - dual controller, 2 10Gbps iSCSI ports per controller, jumbo frames enabled on switch and array
2 MD1200's and 1 MD1220 both with dual EMM
3 RAID 10 virtual disks
2 RAID 6 virtual disks
out of warranty
VD's are mapped to hyper-v 6 node cluster and nothing has changed since this storage was implemented five years ago.
Ownership/preferred path has 3 VD's on controller 0 and 2 VD's on controller 1. Five months ago, we got the warning "virtual disk not on preferred path due to failover." The hyperv owner node was rebooted and the problem went away. The problem returned and rebooting the nodes didn't help so the recovery guru steps were followed. It appears that iscsi connections between the nodes (2 each), the two stacked switches, and the two MD3600i controllers are all linked solid with jumbo frames enabled throughout. There are two VLANS for the iSCSI networks. Cabling and switch ports have been changed.
Redistribute virtual disks and they go back to their preferred path on controller 1 but failover to controller 0 after exactly 10 minutes. At 5 minutes, there is an informational event "Virtual disk I/O shipping implicit transfer" then the failover at 10 minutes. If there is no activity on the VD's, they maintain their path on controller 1 indefinitely. Does this sound like the controller card needs to be replaced?
Hi guys.
I've got a problem with diskpool. Today we lost 6 physical disk, then 2 Virtual disk got status=Failed.
I tried a revive these disk and repair(restore) virtual disk,Diskpool, But to no avail.
help me plz to advice.
How to fix this problem?
thanks in advance
DELL-Sam L,
I've read previous posts on this forum from customers who have the iSCSI SAS Bridge for powervault TL2000/4000 and no longer have the password. I am in that situation as well. Previously you requested that customers send you a private message, which I did as well, but I have not heard back in a week.
If you would be so kind as to send me the password for challenge code C0EPJE98FQ7 I will appreciate it very much. We are currently stuck and unable to finish our migration.
Thanks!
I have about a 4 year old TL-4000 and LTO6 Drive 3 is getting very problematic, wanting cleaning a lot and generating a significant amount of errors and failed jobs. So bad in fact I have disabled the drive to maintain my sanity. I don't see any errors in the log though, only 78 hard write errors but a lot of soft write errors 34,000+
Also recently the library is "losing" labels, so a tape will suddenly read as LTO000008 in Backup Exec instead of what I had given it.
Lastly the library has crashed hard about 4 times over the past few months with this error: 00 > HE: Sdci microcode error
Any idea what that is?
The bios has been updated and drives as well to the latest. E.30 / 3.20e , G9P1
I have 3 Dell PowerEdge R820 servers running in duplex mode, directly attached to a Dell PowerVault MD3220 and MD1220 expansion enclosure. Each R820 has a Dell H200E SAS 6Gbps HBA dual port external controller so I can attach directly to the MD3220 and avoid using iSCSI.
Each R820 has Windows Server 2012 R2 installed and are part of a 3-node failover cluster running Hyper-V. The VMs are stored on separate CSV volumes on the MD3220.
I’m migrating drives from an existing MD3220 to a new MD3220 which has several Dell Premium Features enabled. Below is a summary of the new MD3220 and the SAS drives I have available for use in the array.

I need some advice on setting up the new MD3220 to take full advantage of the SSD caching and high-performance tier features of this MD3220. Since I have so many 900GB HDDs, I’m thinking of creating one large disk group using all 24 as RAID-10 which would give me 10.8 TB. I have VMs of various sizes and was going to create virtual disks of different sizes and place several VMs into a virtual disk based upon the given VM. For example, create a single 2.25 TB virtual disk for exclusive use by an existing VM running SQL 2014. I’m sure this is not the best way to setup SQL Server 2014 in a virtual environment (I can change that later) but for now I need to get the new MD3220 up and running.
I have 22 Hyper-V VMs which are currently using cluster storage on the existing MD3220. Since I have to move the drives from my existing MD3220 to the new MD322 - destroying the array in the process - I'll copy all existing Hyper-V folders and corresponding structures in their entirety (Snapshots, Virtual Hard Disks, Virtual Machines) to local storage on two of the R820's.

Thank you very much for your help!
Hi!
I have a problem for remember password for TL2000 iscsci brige.
I have a challenge key.
We are using MD1400 and 1420 enclosures to test hard drives. The reason was to take advantage of the 12G speed. It looks like only SAS drives will be recognized by these systems. It makes some sense since SATA are only 6GB but wanted to see if possible to use SATA drives in these.
I am migrating to an MD3220 and MD1220 which has the SSD cache and high-performance tier feature keys installed and enabled. I have 6 x 200 GB SLC SSD SAS drives and 24 x 900GB SAS HDDs in the MD3220, MD1220.
When I create the SSD Cache, should I assign all 6 SSDs to the cache? For maximum performance is it best to create 1 large RAID-10 disk group then create smaller virtual disks, making sure “Use SSD cache” is enabled?
Thank you very much!
