Hello, I was able to get an R630 last yea & have been having fun with it. Throughout the year I've been able to get various pieces to connect to an external disk array.
I got a PERC H830 RAID card direct from Dell on sale.
After some less the scrupulous sellers on Ebay sold me a "new in box" MD1400 that clearly had been crushed (the pics were a lie!), I was able to pick up another one that appears to work fine.
I've followed the instructions for the H830 here - Manuals | Dell Canada
And for the MD1400 here - Manuals | Dell Canada
Followed the deployment guidance for single port configuration using the SAS cables that came with the MD1420 - https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/md1400-md1420-dg_en-us.pdf
However, when I go into to the configuration utility are no physical disks present. I make sure it's actually turned on, I do in fact have green blinkys and no red blinkeys. From port 1 on H830 to port 0 on the EMM. Reboot, still nada.
Attempted redundant port configuration. Still Nada. It doesn't seem like my cables are seating correctly in the H830. Re-seated cables, man getting that cable into the H830 is rough.
Can someone assist here with something I may have missed?
Thank you.
