Since we are running on HP hardware and not on Dell hardware if you run the binary you will receive the following error: Go on the Dell website and downlod the Linux version of the firmware for the PERC H200 (). Since Dell provide an official firmware we are gonna use it. (LSI9211-IT or LSI9211-IR here an explaination about the two modes) On the web there are lot of tutorial for convert this card from Dell brand to original LSI firmware.

The PERC H200 card that I’ve bought come with a very old firmware version (2010 I think it’s the first release) and it doesn’t support HDD major than 2 TB, only the recent firmware will support them. Now let’s stop talking and let’s start with the facts.

Plus it works (only in BIOS mode) and fit perfectly on the Microserver (only the connector for the discs is not easy to fit).īy taking a look on various forums (in particular this on ) they suggest the LSI 92XX series. So in the end I have chosen a Dell PERC H200 RAID card (it’s an LSI 9240-8i PCI SAS/SATA) because it’s a good and also cheapest RAID on the market.

On the Microserver there are only two core (It’s an AMD Opteron X3216 APU) so the server will became busy only for handle read/write operations.

I have also discarded Linux software RAID for performance issue, sometimes it use a lot of I/O. Plus I have tested it and it didn’t recognized a failure on one of the HDD and the Marvell Utility on Linux is a crap so I have discarded it. I have decided to use an additional RAID card because for the Marvell SATA controller RAID I have see a lot of discussion about weird issues (ex: RAID no more recognized after a poweroff and power on).
