Hi all,
I've been dealing with this issue lately.
I have a RAID 1 configured with two 1TB HDDs on a PE T110 II Server with Perc S300 card and most of the times (8/10 times) when starting up or rebooting the Server, it freezes right at the S300 screen when showing the CTRL+R to configure legend and a "/" clocking.
To fix it I have to do a hard shutdown, disconnect the AC power, wait for at least 30 seconds and reconnect.
I already updated BIOS to V 2.8, and the PERC S300 drivers to the latest version as follows:
Driver Version | 2.0.0-0162 |
Storport Driver Version | 6.1.7601.18386 |
I verified on the OpenManage that the card has no issues, nor the physical disks or the virtual disk. Also, I removed the S300 Card, cleaned the port, changed the array to the other slot, but nothing.
Any suggestions? Could it be a hardware issue even that there is no failure detected in the OpenManage? Btw, I ran the DSET report too but no signs of a card failure.
Thanks in advance,
Isaac
