DELL H700新韌體已經解除對HDD的限制...大家小朋友可以準備了
 

Dell PERC H700 Raid Card Firmware
Release Date: 7/6/2010
Version: 12.3.0-0032

Fixes and Enhancements:

Fixes
=========

1. Improved disk medium error correction for cases where large numbers of
errors are found.


Enhancements/Tasks
======================

1. Increased performance of random workloads on solid-state drives.

2. Increased performance of small sequential workloads.

3. Unconfigured and hot spare disks can be spun down to conserve power.

4. A virtual disk's capacity can be expanded if there is free space
available on its physical disks.

5. The controller can be configured to use existing system backplane or storage
enclosure disk slots that have hot spares configured as persistent hot spare
slots. A hot spare disk can then be removed and replaced with replacement
disks without having to configure the new disk as a hot spare. Any disk
inserted on that hot slot will be overwritten and become a hot spare.

6. Enhanced controller error recovery.

7. Non-Dell certified hard drives will no longer be blocked.

不過沒有支持LSI的高階服務喔...:o

下個月可能預定先買個1~2張....:unbelief:..

真的感動得要哭了,之前差點買了1打的PERC 6回來屯

幹嘛要屯??...:unbelief:...

我幾乎都是白牌的SERVER(supermicro)和各種奇怪的主機的組合,加上能和HP P410還有P800一起搭配的RAID卡實在很少,VMHOST機我目前對於64G記憶體的機器的標準配備已經提升到直接裝兩張RAID卡,畢竟效能的最佳化再怎麼做其實都沒有實體的快,64G至少可以開20-30台機器,最大的問題變成在IO,所以目前只剩下單個機殼可以裝16顆3.5吋HD的櫃子是很難處理的,奇怪的是,大家是每天巡DELL的網站嗎,怎麼連韌體更新都知道

因為對岸人才多嘛...
有人報..
大家都知了..:laugh:...
"加上能和HP P410還有P800一起搭配的RAID卡實在很少"
聽不大懂...
是指能跟這兩張性能/功能匹配的RAID HBA很少??:confused:..

沒支持FastPath和CacheCade 應該是因為怕客戶遇到問題時會猛吵.
jnho (oreo) 大意思是 P410 跟P800會略挑主機版.
至於分散二張Raid Card I/O 我個人覺得不太需要.不過要實證.
我有空確實想把實驗VM機 改成 Hybrid SSD Storage
不過Card確實不好挑.


一篇文章都是我們Lab 的人在發言? 是怎回事? ............................
:stupefy:

意思是P410可以吃它牌主機板...:shock:???....

本來就可以的, Lab某號機已上, 最近我要把Dell 2950 ,HP DL 160 G5 全部換成ML150 G6 ,全部換成Xeon 55 or 56 Server.所以沒特別提.

有啥專案測試的話 我們成員都可以在OSSLab VM 機器上跑..
只是成員差不多自己機器都挺變態的......
(要不然怎這種文章都我們在討論..XD)

那我有興趣了...:p
可是firmware萬一要update會不會認MB??..:confused:
