Adapter At Baseport Not Responding Error Message

Error Message:

Adapter at Baseport xxxx is not responding, where xxxx is the

 

baseport of the controller.

Corrective

Contact Dell Technical Support.

Action:

 

Offline Or Missing Virtual Drives With Preserved Cache Error Message

Error Message:

There are offline or missing virtual drives with preserved

 

cache. Please check the cables and ensure that all drives are

 

present. Press any key to enter the configuration utility.

Probable Cause:

The controller preserves the dirty cache from a virtual disk if the disk becomes offline or is

 

deleted because of missing physical disks. This preserved dirty cache is called pinned cache,

 

and is preserved until you import the virtual disk, or discard the cache.

Corrective

Use the <Ctrl> <R> utility to import the virtual disk or discard the preserved cache. For the

Action:

steps used to manage preserved cache, see the topic Managing Preserved Cache.

Virtual Disks Offline Error Message

Error Message:

x Virtual Disk(s) Degraded, where x is the number of virtual

 

disks degraded.

Probable Cause:

This message is displayed when the BIOS detects virtual disks in a degraded state.

Corrective

Take corrective action(s) to make the virtual disks optimal. The BIOS does not take any action.

Action:

 

Virtual Disks Degraded Error Message

Error Message:

x Virtual Disk(s) Degraded, where x is the number of virtual

 

disks degraded.

Probable Cause:

This message is displayed when the BIOS detects virtual disks in a degraded state.

Corrective

To make the virtual disks optimal, take one the following corrective actions:

Action:

• Ensure all disks in the Virtual Disk are present and online.

 

• Replace any failed disks that may be in the array.

• Correct a hot spare disk, and rebuild the array. The BIOS does not take any action.

Dell H710P, H310, H810 manual Adapter At Baseport Not Responding Error Message, Virtual Disks Offline Error Message

H310, H710, H710P, H810 specifications

Dell offers a range of storage controller technologies, notably the H810, H710, H710P, and H310, which cater to different enterprise needs. These controllers are designed to support various storage configurations, enhancing overall system performance and reliability.

The Dell H810 is a high-performance PCIe 3.0 RAID controller that supports up to eight internal drives and is particularly suited for demanding workloads. It features advanced RAID levels including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing flexibility for various data protection strategies. The H810 also supports up to 32TB of storage capacity, making it suitable for environments that require substantial data management capabilities.

The H710 is another powerful RAID controller, widely recognized for its balance of performance and cost-efficiency. It features 1GB of cache memory, which aids in accelerating read and write operations. The H710 supports the same RAID levels as the H810 and allows for up to 512MB of non-volatile memory. This ensures data integrity even in the event of a power failure, making it reliable for critical applications.

The H710P is an enhanced version of the H710, with a significant upgrade in its cache capabilities. It offers 2GB of battery-backed cache memory, further enhancing data processing speeds and improving responsiveness. The H710P is ideal for intensive workloads and virtualization, where rapid access to data is essential. This controller also includes features such as RAID storage pooling, intelligent data tiering, and support for multiple virtual disks.

Finally, the H310 is a cost-effective option for small to medium-sized businesses or those with less demanding storage requirements. It offers similar RAID support as the higher-end controllers but operates with a simpler architecture. The H310 features 512MB of cache, providing sufficient performance for regular workloads without the additional complexities of more advanced controllers.

In summary, Dell's H810, H710, H710P, and H310 storage controllers each serve distinct purposes, providing various features, technologies, and performance characteristics tailored to different business needs. From high-capacity storage solutions to user-friendly setups, Dell’s offerings ensure that organizations can efficiently manage their data storage requirements.
