Good Morning,
I have a Dell PowerVault MD3220i, which I want to reset to factory options.
I am conected by console, but when we access it gives us *** Expired
Press within 5 second: <S> for service interface, <BREAK> for baud rate *** Expired
And he does not let us do anything else.
We do not know what IP's are assigned the interfaces, so we are trying to access by COM port
Please, how could you access or reset factory settings in this cabin?
Thanks in advance.

I've been asked to connect a PowerVault TL2000 to a PowerEdge R310 and I've hit a bit of a brick wall with it.
I've installed the install_nonexclusive drivers and rebooted both devices. I've tried crossing the fiber over as I'm connecting directly from the server to the storage. Whatever I do the tape library just doesn't appear in device manager.
In Device Manager, the fibre cards in the R310 are showing as 'Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Fibre' adaptors, in the Network Adaptors section. Should these work? I would have expected them to show as Storage Adaptors rather than Network Adaptors?
We are currently trying to connect via a Brocade 300 switch instead of directly, to see if that makes any difference.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
BackupExec 12.5 is reporting a Tape Alert Error. The details only say Critical - The tape drive has a hardware fault. Drive: 1, Slot 4. This error has been happening once every 2-3 weeks for about three months. The Slot number varies and errors have been reported on slots from both the right and left magazines. We rotate media every two weeks and the errors have occurred on both media sets. I cannot isolate this error to a specific job, slot, media tape, or magazine.
How do I determine what is happening? When looking on the interface of the TL2000, the library warning log has this TRC/CST <84 04 01 1F >. But that entry is recorded about one hour before the BackupExec error. What does this mean and is it relevant? There are not any errors recorded in the Drive Logs.
I recently purchased two Toshiba 2TB SAS drives (product ID MG04SCA200A) for a PowerEdge T710 with a Perc H700 integrated raid controller. IN OMSA the drive capacity show up as 232GB.
The H700 firmware version is 12.10.6-001. The driver version is 4.31.01.64.
Is there a compatibility issue with Toshiba drives and Perc H700?
My Dell inspiron n5010 laptop internal hard disk was not working properly i wanted replace it with 1 tb internal hard disk please let me know the suitable internal hard disk model for it.
I am having a problem of my Dell Backup and Recovery's display. Instead of displaying the icon's name and other stuffs, all I can see is IDS_HOME_053, IDS_DS_000, and such. Again, only in Dell Backup and Recovery's display it happens, there are no problems with the other applications. This occurs after I restore my laptop from a restore point. I restore my laptop after accidentally uninstalling Dell Backup and Recovery. The accident happens after I tried to backup. Instead to backup, an box pop-up asking if I want to uninstall something. After the process, the Dell Backup and Recovery is gone. I look at the Start and control panel. It is not there, then I realize it was Dell Backup which uninstalled. To recover Dell Backup, I restore to an earlier restore point. I successfully restore and Dell Backup is installed. However, the display of Dell Backup is corrupted. Please help me.

Hi,
Since last 2 years, I am using WD 2 TB external hard drive for backing up my important data. The drive was working fine till last night, but today morning when I insert it into my Dell laptop, it asks me for formatting the hard drive. Accidently I formatted the drive and now want my data back from that formatted hard drive. Can anyone suggest me what I can do to get my data back? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
we us a VNX5100 and want to replace a faulty disk. The new disk has a capacity 1 TB (VNX51/53 1T DRV-15x3.5IN DPE/DAE U NL-SAS) and all other 600 GB. Wehen I insert the new disk it is not displayed to me(Unisphere).
So I wanted ti run a FLARE CODE Upgrade but unfortunately it does not work with a faulty disk.
Block Software Version: 05.32.000.5.215
What could I do?
Hi there
We have 2 of these disc units and they are performing lovely,however, we had a disc failure at the weekend, and I failed the disc, re inserted a new one and the array did its thing by rebuilding the RAID 5 array onto the hot spare and then once completed it then copied itself back to the replaced disc.
Upon the re build of the array, it came across 410 unreadable sectors, but upon reading various Dell forums this is not as catastrophic as it may first appear.
Our array has re built itself, all of the virtual machines are working perfectly and I can see no data loss. It seemed at the time the best course of action to keep going with it.
Now as everything seems to be satisfactory, is there a way of clearing off the attention alarm, so we can get back to a blue light, I do not want to do anything to upset it as its working fine at the moment, or should I be getting the data off and do something to it?
Any advice would be most welcome, but like I said there was a post by a Dell technician that said it was not always necessary to destroy the array and start again.
Thanks
Kev
I have 2 x PS6010 arrays that i will be retiring and replacing with 2 x PS6210 arrays. Because i do not have enough room to delete the PS6010 i need to initialize the 2 PS6210 arrays first. My question is should i wait to delete the two 6010 arrays until the group balances out after adding the 6210 or can i go ahead and remove the 2 x 6010 arrays immediately after adding the 2 x 6210 arrays.
We have two MD1000 SAS storage arrays hooked up to a Dell R710 server. During a large file transfer (40+ GB) to one of the MD1000 arrays it will slow way down to a crawl. It looks as if it is slowing down at the same spot every time we attempt to transfer a file. The other MD1000 that is hooked to the server has no problem with file transfers. This only happens when we copy to the MD1000. Copying from the MD1000 works as it should. Smaller file transfer copy fine. The Dell Sever Manager shows no errors with any of the hardware. PERC card batteries do not show low or bad. Any suggestions appreciated!
I need to install Win 7 64 on a Precision Rack 7910 workstation. The installation disk for SP1 doesn't have a driver for the RAID controller. The download from the 7910 support page is an exe file that isn't recognized and won't let me extract the driver to copy it. I haven't been able to find one that I can put on a thumb drive and that the Windows installation routine will recognize as a valid driver.
I've tried searching the Dell site and Googling for it, also tried to find it on another 7910 running Win 10.
Can you help me to find it or suggest a work-around?
Hi,
We have poweredge R910 that is configured with 4 drive in RAID 5 and 2 drives in RAID 1 and othere 2 Drives Also in RAID 1.
Now when I check the Manament server I can see that one of the disk of one of the RAID 1 is showing Degraded and I can see that one of the disks has red X so we have to replace this drive.
if I understand it correctly we must replace the drive with exact the same drive.
Question:
the current drive has order numer of <ADMIN NOTE: Order number removed per privacy policy>
we can not find with the same order numer any drive so I did search the Dell website and find the same drive but has the order numer <ADMIN NOTE: Order number removed per privacy policy>
can we use this drive to replace the defect one? also I think the only thing we must do is without shuting down the server just remove the defect drive and replace it with new one is this also correct?
defect drive:
