More HDD Capacity for UCS C240

Dear All, I would like to see your advice
The UCS C240 I configure in CCW contain 24 Drive backplane,
my requirement will be 3 unit of 500G HDD (Raid 5) + 21 Unit of 1TB (RAID 5) = Total already 24 drive.
Since UCS C240 do not have more then 1TB SATA drive to choose in CCW, I am also unable to located any SFF Drive for 2TB or more.
In my situation, what if I would like to expand my disk drive capacity in the future?
(Actually I prefer to place 21 Unit of 2TB of more instead of 1TB, but the maximum capacity I can choose only 1TB)
Hope to have your advice, thanks

Hi Calvin ,
According the specification for a UCS C240 SFF the maximum capacity for a hard drive is 1 TB.
Actually there is no hard drive with a higher storage capacity than that on that UCS model.
Please check in here:

There is another model of the UCS C240 (High Density) which support hard drives for 3 TB:

Hope this helps.

  • What is the max HDD capacity for Satellite L300-1EI?

    Hi there,
    I have A laptop Sattelite L300 - 1EI Nodel PSLB8E - 05W013H2.
    Currently I have a Hard Disk with the capacity of 120G .
    It has lots of bad sectors.
    I wold like to know what is the maximum capacity I could replace it with.
    Thanks

    Thanks for answering.
    My problem is that I bought already a HDD of 500GB.
    The BIOS recognize the HDD.
    When I try to install Windows 7 the computer reads the files from the CD into memory
    and when it finishes, before it has the chance to start writing it switch itself off and re-boots.
    Is that mean that the contoller is gone or the capacity of the HDD is too high for this Laptop.
    Thanks

  • Maximum HDD capacity for Core Duo MacBook?

    With both OS X and Windows installed, I'm running out of space with the 80GB HDD my Core Duo (not Core 2) MB came with and I'd like to replace the original drive with the 200GB drive that the new MacBook Core 2 Duo can be ordered configured with. But I was told by a person at the local (non-Apple) Mac store that the Core Duo MB, unlike the Core 2 Duo MB, has a storage limit of "120 or 160 GB, I think".
    This does not make sense to me. One would think that the addressable storage limit is a function of the OS, the CPU, and the bus width, not affected by a relatively minor (?) difference in CPU details. He acknowledged that although the physical form factor of the 200GB drive is the same as that of the 80GB (after first thinking that the phrase "physical form factor" meant a functional limit, thus calling his expertise into serious question), there is some sort of functional limit. He cited the example of the G4 desktop, which can hold 2TB of storage as 4x500GB HDDs, but that if equipped with 4x750GB drives, still recognizes only 2TB. I think this limit is a result of the basic architecture of the CPU and buses. To further muddy the waters, he said there's a limit on the size of the internal HDD even though a much bigger outboard HDD can be recognized "because the internal drive is wired right into the computer". This sounds really bogus to me, but I'm not quite confident enough that I'm ready to order that 200GB internal SATA HDD from Other World.
    Can I go ahead and order the 200GB and know the whole thing will be recognized?

    According to the specs - the 200G should work. Like First Magnus said - 200G drives are fairly new - heck, 120G SATA drives are fairly new for laptops. Look around - you should find something. Newegg has them one (Toshiba) for $259.00. With them being new, they'll be tougher to find, so the net is probably you're best choice right now. I know the local stores around here don't carry them yet. Best of luck...

  • Maximum HDD capacity for HP G7035EA

    I wish to replace a faulty HDD in a HP G7035EA laptop.  What is the maximum capacity the BIOS will permit me to use ?

    It is a SATA drive so there is not a BIOS limitation. Make sure you have ahci or "native SATA" enabled in the BIOS (if that option is even there). I know they now make at least a 640 gig standard 9.5 mm thick 2.5 inch wide laptop hard drive and you can definitely use one of those.

  • Upper Limit On HDD Capacity For QS G4 2001 Model W/PCI ATA133 Card?

    Hey Everyone,
    I currently have a Tempo ATA133 PCI card installed in my QuickSilver G4 2001 system (http://www.sonnettech.com/product/tempo_ata133.html). To address capacity issues, I'm considering adding a very large 500 GB, 7200 RPM ATA133 Hitatchi HDD (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822147008), which would connect to this PCI card.
    Does anyone have reason to believe this configuration would cause issues, or if there's an upper limit on the amount of HDD space a PCI ATA133 card can support?
    My feelings are that this configuration will be fine, but I'd like feedback before I proceed.

    Good information bhgdfh! I'll have to reinstall OS 9 it seems to load the firmware, which is fine. If I end up buying the drive, I'll post the results! Meantime, I'm keeping the question unanswered in case anyone else has additional input.

  • HDD Drivers for UCS C220 M3L

    Hi Experts,
    Good Day!
    I have a new UCS C220 M3L server which I will be using for my CSM however, when I tried to install my OS (Windows Server 2008 R2 - 64 bit) I don't see the disks, it says that no drivers where found - please see attached file.
    May I know where can I download that drivers also what is the recommended version of the drivers that needs to be downloaded?
    Thank you very much for the great help.
    Cheers,
    niks

    Hi Walter,
    Thanks for the response.
    I'm not able to check the BIOS but I can confirm that the RAID is detectable. It shows during the boot up process of the UCS it is currently in RAID 5.
    Do you have an idea on what driver version should I download for my UCS?
    Thank you and have a nice day!

  • Max HDD Capacity for MS-7383(G31M2 V1)

    Hi Team,
    Can you please let me know the maximum hard disk capacity supported by MS-7383. As of now, it is running with 3SATA (250GB+250GB+320GB).
    BIOS Version: V1.4 (A7383IMS V1.4 070309)
    Thanks in advance.

     It's been tested with P-ATA up to 750 GB & S-ATA up to 500 GB so as Stu said should be OK with even higher capacity drives than that.

  • UCS RAID Configuration on UCS C240 M3 TRC2 for UC Applications

    Hi
    This UCS server has Twelve 300 GB hard disk. The RAID configuration recommended in Cisco Documentation is to have 2 RAID 5  Volumes 1.36 TB each.
    I don't understand this configuration for the following reasons :
    I prefer to dedicate a RAID Volume to ESXi and the second RAID Volume for UC Application.
    For  UCS C240 M3 TRC3 the First RAID volume should be  a small size (for Example 300 GB with RAID1 ) and the second one about 2 TB with RAID 5
    Why ?
    Because in case of problem with ESXi, I can reinstall ESXi, and to recover all My UC applications after ESXi reinstallation.
    This kind of configuration was the one use by old C210 M2 (Small RAID 1 volume for ESXi and Larger RAID 5 Volume for UC Applications)
    The problem is that with two 1.36 TB Volume , I can install ESXi on the first RAID Volume and UC on second RAID volume. But there is a big waste of Disk Space (about 1 TB )!!!
    The problem of changing this RAID recommended Configuration is that TAC consider that we are no longer running on TRC design, so the support is able to be rejected.
    Is anybody from Cisco able to explain me the reasons for such RAID Design for UCS C240 M3 TRC2 for UC Applications
    Thanks

    You need to go thru your AM, or ask in a partner forum this question, this cannot be addressed at CSC.
    And we didn't tell you support would be rejected, we told you that support would fall from a guaranteed performance UC on UCS TRC, to that of a UC on UCS spec based, as changing the RAID would be guidance-only.

  • Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

    Does Cisco Prime Infrastructure supports monitoring CPU,Memory, HDD for UCS , VMWare?

    Prime Infrastructure/ Assurance is  positioned today more towards managing network elements and network performance,  rather than server infrastructure. We are in the process of adding Datacenter  component support, with more focus on Nexus and UCS- due later this  year.
    Having said that, Prime Infrastructure allows the system user to  add custom SNMP polling templates, which can then be used for polling any SNMP  based values from any SNMP enabled device. These can be used to collect the  information you specified below and the polled information will be available in  dashboards and reports.

  • "Your Mac OSX startup disk has no more space avaliable for..." error

    Last night, a dialog box appeared with the following error (exact quote):
    "Your Mac OS X startup disk has no more space available for application memory.
    To avoid problems with your computer, quit any applications you are not using. Closing windows and removing files from your startup disk will also help."
    The box then had a force quite menu with the option to force quit any applications that were currently open.
    I opened activity monitor, and nothing seems to have a CPU % of over 9% on any of the tabs, so I'm not sure what is causing this message to appear and how to fix it. Activity Monitor also says I have 2.07 GB out of 1.88 GB available, so I don't think this is a memory issue either. Help?
    Thanks,
    -Josh

    What's the size of your HDD, and how much space is unused? You can check in /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility - highlight Macintosh HD and read the figures at bottom right.
    If the available space is under about 15-20% of the total capacity, the message is telling you that there isn't enough disc space left for application swap files to be used.

  • VCS installation on UCS C240 using VMWare ESXi 5.5

    Hello to everybody
    I have a trouble with installing Cisco UC products on UCS C240. I have VMWare ESXi 5.5. I'll write what I've done.
    At first I made Virtual Disk (Raid), but I couldn't enter Netbios configuration for a long time. I pressed CTRL+H and after that I saw screen with shell>. It was my first time I worked with UCS C240 and I didn't saw same screens during UCS C220 configuration. After that I entered exit command and Netbios screen appeared. After that I installed VMWare ESXi, configured it and installed VCS ova template. Everythung worked correct.
    BUT... After turning off and on the server VMWare ESXi didn't load, I looked to the console and saw the shell> screen. I think it isn't normal.
    What I have to do to load my VMWare and don't see the shell> screen.
    Thank you

    Can you check your boot order? And make sure your HDD/RAID comes above the EFI shell?

  • IMac 27" Start Up Disk has no more space available for memory

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try booting fron your install disc. The startup disk may need repairs.
    Insert your install disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    *(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
    Select your start up disk and click Restart
    While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
    If you cannot boot from your install disc, try booting in Safe Mode

  • UCS c240 M3 beeping sound

    I have recently installed ESXi 5.0 on the UCS C240 M3 using RAID1 as shown in the image above and it was working fine. but now am getting continues beeping sound from the server and one of the HDD is showing orange light, I tried to replace the drive the problem is still there. what coud be the casue and can any1 please give me a solution to it.

    The RAID Controller has detected a Degraded Virtual Drive. The orange light indicates the RAID-set is rebuilding.  Use "storcli" for example to check this: "
    /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show
    Dgrd and Rbld should be seen in the output somewhere.
    The beep is turnded on by the Controller.
    /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 show alarm
    Ctrl_Prop Value
    Alarm     ON   
    Use
    /opt/MegaRAID/storcli/storcli64 /c0 set alarm=silence
    to turn it off.

  • Does TC give Extra HDD space for Mac Mini?

    I use MAC Mini and its HDD is getting close to full. Purchasing Time Capsule means I have extra more HDD for Data? or Is just for the Backup. What should I get for extra HDD space?

    Time Capsule is designed for your backups.
    If the Mac Mini needs more storage space, you might be able to pull the internal hard drive and add a higher capacity drive. A shop can give you the details on this.
    Another option would be to add an external drive to the Mini connected by USB or FireWire. Buy as much capacity as you can, especially if you plan to add movies, music, photos. etc.  Drives seem to have a way of filling up much faster than might have expected.
    If you decide to get the TIme Capsule for backups, it will backup both the Mac Mini and the external hard drive.
    (If you do not have backups, there will almost surely be a day when you wish you did).

  • How to get more power/capacity from my G5 2GHz DP, PPC?I own a fully max'd

    I have a max'd out G5 Dual 2 GHz PPC w/2GB DDR SDRAM. Have 2 hard drives but are also max'd out - now effecting performance speed. I use the mac 99% for editing Video and Audio. Movies and files are stored on external HDs. If I am reading my specs right, I have 8 slots, of which 4 are incorporating 512MB RAM sticks - does this meran I can add more RAM? For some reason I thought 2 GB was max??? If this is a "can-do" - will this increase my speed-power? Keeping in mind I'm at near total capacity on the HDs (using HD2 as start up drive, because HD1 has less space on it)can I add a third internal HD and make that one larger and designate it as the start up drive? Upgrading to OS 10.5 won't help it right? Thanks for helping me out, still getting the "bugs out" but I always seem to want more, more, more....(Geez, I sound like Billy Idol huh?) Thank you for your kind responses in advance.

    I think you are on the right track. I would add 2 gig
    of ram from either Crucial, or OWC. I would replace
    one of your 250 gig drives with a 500 gig, they can
    be had for about $150 now. You don't really have any
    option to upgrade your video card right now...the
    only one better than your 9800 is an X800 and they're
    not available without paying an extreme price. For
    whatever reason ATI isn't making them and no one
    knows if they will in the future. I understand that
    the nVidia 6800 is a great card but they're hard to
    find and also expensive. I would stay away from
    inexpensive flashed PC cards.
    On a maintenance note, have a backup strategy.
    Download and run a utility like Onyx or Cocktail on a
    regular basis. I'm hearing good things about
    AppleJack...I think I'm going to give it a try but at
    this time I don't know anything about it and I use
    Onyx. Repair your permissions regularly and for sure
    after any upgrade or install. DiskWarrior is my one
    can't be without utility.
    I'm sure there are going to many other good
    suggestions, there are several knowledgeable people
    here and all are willing to help a fellow mac user. I
    do believe that you're doing the right things to
    extend the useful life of your G5 until you someday
    buy a Mac Pro if that's your plan....I know that's
    mine!
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH - I FEEL ENCOURAGED NOW. WILL TRY THE ADD-ON'S AND UPGRADE THE HD & REPORT MY FINDINGS TO THE FORUM. I BET THIS IS GOING TO "FIX IT UP" UNTIL I GET MY HANDS ON A NEWER, FASTER, BIGGER, & BETTER (WHICH DAY IS IT?) MAC. THANK YOU - I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!
