I am having trouble with a poweredge 1950. The problem is that when I boot the system, the display says POST error: E2022. Also when it attempts to check everything, it comes up with the error saying: PCIe training error: embedded I/O bridge device 6. Anybody have any idea about what is causing this problem/how to fix it?

POST error: E2022 on Poweredge 1950

Re: POST error: E2022 on Poweredge 1950
Hello mumpyphiog
E2022 is a general fault and doesn't tell us anything. PCIe training errors are caused when a PCI device is not able to negotiate properly with the PCI controller. You should have something listed with a bus/device/function error that will tell us which port the training error is occurring on. I think it is 0:6:0, but I could be wrong. 0:6:0 and 0:7:0 are the x8 connector on your left riser. I would suggest reseating whatever device is located in that slot. If the issue persists then remove that device and see if you still get the error. If the error still persists then reseat the riser and see if it stops.
Thanks

poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
the story began when i delivered the server contained a previous installed windows server 2008 sp2
then i reboot from the dell cd after choosing windows small business essential .
after installation , reboot and open from hard ,windows loaded and ask for put cd of the windows essential where it wasn't available so i reboot again
but this time from ubuntu server cd
after installing the server and reboot the server it didn't see ubuntu and load windows files again then ask for the windows cd again
(dell cd contain in configurations only windows servers not linux , it is applicable to install linux or not ?? )
(i tried to install windows server 2008 sp2 again from dell cd but i couldnt because it needs cd for that in the same time the dell cd inside! )
i am beginner in dealing with servers so i need to know if there is a risk from that ? and where is ubuntu now ? any suggestions ??
thanks

Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
No, the installation utility does not assist in Ubuntu installations, so you will need to install directly from the Ubuntu CD/USB.
Using the Dell installation disc, you boot to it first, select your OS, then insert the media when prompted. You don't have to use the installation disc for any OS install, but it can simplify it for supported OS's (not Ubuntu).

Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
ok thanks
but i still dont understand where is ubuntu now ?
i already install from ubuntu then reboot but it load windows , although i install ubuntu

( i want to know the role of installation utility in os install ? how assist ?? if it will ask again for windows essential cd what it already made ? )

R710 - best way to update ESXi 4.1?
Hi,
I did a successful update of an R710 to ESXi 4.1U3 (embedded) using the CD image VMware-VMvisor-Dell-RecoveryCD-4.1.0.update03-800380.x86_64-DellCustomized_A00.iso and ended up having to reconfigure the server as all the settings were reset. Didn't seem like there was an in place upgrade option on the CD boot menu - did I use the wrong CD or is that expected behavior? Found the download but no upgrade instructions.
Thanks

Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
I am guesing here, but I would think that Ubuntu installed itself to a different partition and it left the Windows partition there. Do you need to keep the Windows installation? Do you have an idrac express or enterprise or neither? how are your drives partitioned?

Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
The installation utility simply "preps" the OS install, by preloading drivers, creating boot partitions, configuring RAID, installing the utility (diagnostics) partition, etc. After running through the setup questions, it will prompt you for the Windows disc at some point - when it's ready for it.
If you don't need Windows, then you need to delete the existing partitions when installing Ubuntu. Are you trying to dual-boot??
↧
Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
we don't need to keep windows installation we need Ubuntu , i don't have any info about the previous state of the server.
In the Ubuntu installation it is possible to force Ubuntu to remove windows installation , overwrite it ?? by choosing the same partition of the windows installation ?? that is what you mean ??

Re: poweredge t110 ii , ubuntu
Do not install to the same partition as Windows - DELETE the Windows partitions (delete ALL disk partitions). There should be an option to "erase disk and install Ubuntu" which will erase all disk partitioning and formatting and install default Ubuntu on EXT4 partitions (or you can use the advanced options to erase and set partitions to your liking or specific needs).

Installing Server 2012 on PowerEdge T110 II in Raid Mode
I am trying to install Windows Server 2012 on a PowerEdge T110 II that I just purchased. No software and driver utility disks came with the computer! When I try to install Windows straight from the OS Install disk it tells me that some drivers are missing however it does not list any specific ones missing to know what is lacking! The message reads: "A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or hard drive disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD, or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now...."
I read in your Microsoft Windows Server 2012_Installation Instructions User's Guide_en-us document that I needed OpenManage 7.2 which supports installing Windows Server 2012 OS. I got the ISO of OpenManage 7.2.0 A01 from your website and burned it to a DVD. I started the computer with this DVD and was able to get to Dell Systems Build and Update Utility. From there I went to Configure Against Server OS Installation. It provides a list of supported OS. Windows server 2008 and 2011 are listed but not 2012!
When I go into the BIOS (PERC S100, version 2.2.3) and change the SATA settings to ATA and run OpenManage and go to Dell Systems Build and Update Utility and Configure Against Server, this time Windows Server 2012 shows up and I'm able to proceed further until it gets to 100% complete and reboots. I insert Server 2012 install DVD during reboot and it states "Valid Operating system installation media was found. Press "OK" to start install." A system Build and Update Utility message appears that states: "The Temporary Partition will be removed. If an error is encountered during the operating system install, you will need to use the Systems Build and Update Utility to restart the install process." I press OK and get an Install Windows message that states: "The file "autorun.dll" could not be loaded or is corrupt. Setup cannot continue. Error code is [0xC1]" I burned the OS DVD from a Microsoft ISO. I have read that perhaps the DVD needs to be burned differently and at a slower speed. That may resolve this last issue (don't know yet), but I actually would like to setup this computer in RAID mode anyway and first I need to resolve the following question:
1) Is it even possible to install Windows Server 2012 with Raid Configuration on this hardware? If yes, how? The OpenManage-->Dell Systems Build and Update Utility-->Configure Against Server does not list Server 2012 unless the SATA setting is not set to RAID!!!
2) When I configure the same computer with Server 2012 as the Operating System installed on Dell.com's Configure and Buy site, it gives a configuration error that says "Errors: Microsoft 2012 options selected from Operating System require Microsoft 2012 Media." When I pick/check "Windows Server® 2012, Foundation Edition, Media Kit" the error goes away. Do I need this media kit? Is this what is causing the issue with the install? And where do I get this missing component?
Any guidance you can give me or reference to appropriate material/docs to help out would be greatly appreciates as I have spent/wasted several days trying to get this server's OS installed! Thank you.

Re: R710 - best way to update ESXi 4.1?
Hi there, it is normal for the bootable installation/recovery CD to delete the current configuration. Unfortunately, Dell does not provide an in-place update mechanism for ESXi. VMware does support a couple methods depending on your infrastructure -- for single host updates there is vihostupdate and for multiple hosts managed by vCenter, there is the vCenter Update Manager. These are detailed in www.vmware.com/.../vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf . Dell's customized installation bundles the standard VMware distribution with modified support links and Dell-specific hardware drivers so it should not be too much trouble to update.

Re: Installing Server 2012 on PowerEdge T110 II in Raid Mode
Keyatx,
The issue you are having is due to the 2012 OS not supporting the S100 controller. You would need to add a hardware raid controller (H200) in order to use Server 2012.
Let me know if this answers your question.

Re: Installing Server 2012 on PowerEdge T110 II in Raid Mode
Thank you for the reply Chris! That's disappointing especially since I do not see any reference to it on the configuration website! Had I known this, I wouldn't have ordered two 1TB hard drives and would have just bought one hard drive! Can you kindly send me a link to the actual or specific product hardware Raid Controller on dell's website so that I can order it or decide if it's worth it. I could not find it on the shopping site. If I decide to forget about setting it as Raid, can I at least install OS 2012 in ATA or AHCI mode or do I basically need the hardware raid controller as long as I want to install OS 2012? Thank you again for your help!

Hardware RAID is not required to install 2012 ... you should be able to disable the S100 RAID an install with no RAID.

Re: Installing Server 2012 on PowerEdge T110 II in Raid Mode
Thanks for the reply. Is there an option to buy PERC H200 from Dell separately (since I have received the server already and I had ordered it without an OS... clearly I missed this requirement!)?
