The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY TX1330 M3 is a highly expandable mono-socket server for Small and Medium Enterprises which need application oriented performance coupled with high storage expandability, and growth potential via a comprehensive range of options. The FUJITSU Server PRIMERGY TX1330 M2 is the ideal robust, expandable, and cost-efficient server for small and medium-sized businesses (SMB) or branch offices. It offers best Intel® Xeon® E3 family performance and great expandability thanks to up to 24 hot-plug storage drives. The optional.
:::: Configuring Hardware RAID Arrays on Fujitsu PrimergyThis mini-tutorial is meant to walk you through the process of configuring hardware arrays on Fujitsu Primergy servers using LSI-based controllers.This is not designed to be an extensive tutorial.It is meant to be a 'quick-start' guide to help you get under way with building an. It is part of the '.This covers two LSI types;. MegaRAID Configuration Utility. WebBIOSThe former is used on the Mx generations and the later from the Sx generation servers. Fujitsu M1 - BIOS - EP420i - MegaRAID Configuration Utility - Array Built.The array is now built!Do note that the ' Operation: Back Init. Progress' will slowly run.
You will also note that the drives will have their activity LEDs blink for some time. This is because, after the initial initialization is complete, a full background initialization is performed. Until this is complete, disk performance will be degraded. Roughly 30% of the disk performance is allocated for this background initialization.Configure Hot SparesA 'hot spare' is a drive physically in a node that is configured to automatically replace a drive that is in an array that fails. In this way, the array returns to a fully operational state with minimal time in a degraded state.Hot spares can either be allocated to a specific array (when you have two or more), or it can be a 'global' hot spare (GHS). A global hot spare can then be allocated to any array on the node.In our case, we have only one array, so functionally there is no difference. We will use 'global hot spare' here.We could have allocated a hot-spare during the assembly of the array above, but in my case, I want two hot spares.
