Frequently asked questions

How can I configure RAID 1 with NVMe drives on the SR650 V2 server?

Ensure you have the appropriate NVMe RAID FoD license, as only Intel-branded NVMe SSDs are supported for RAID configurations. Additionally, verify that you are using Lenovo-qualified NVMe drives for compatibility and consider updating your firmware with the latest Lenovo Bootable Media Creator ISO. [community thread]

What should I do if my Lenovo ThinkSystem V2 server reports a low CMOS battery during operation?

If your server indicates a low CMOS battery, it is necessary to replace the battery. Additionally, updating the firmware may help enhance battery performance. [community thread]

What should I do if my server is not recognizing all installed NVMe drives?

First, verify that the NVMe drives in the affected bays are properly seated and connected. Restarting the XClarity Controller (XCC) may also help restore the drive inventory. Additionally, ensure that your server's firmware is up to date and check the VMD settings in the BIOS/UEFI for correct configuration. [community thread]

What can I do if my ThinkSystem SR630 V2 has slow disk speeds?

If you're experiencing low write speeds of 15-20 MBps, this may be expected due to the cacheless nature of the 5350 controller, which operates in write-through mode. To potentially improve performance, you can enable the drive cache using the MegaRAID BIOS interface or storcli commands. For significant speed enhancements, consider upgrading to a controller with a cache module. [community thread]

How can I enable Intel VT-d for virtualization on the SR650 V2 server?

To activate Intel VT-d, reboot the server and press F1 to access the UEFI Setup. Navigate to System Settings, then Operating Modes, set it to Custom Mode, and save the changes. Next, go to Devices and I/O Ports, enable Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d) and SR-IOV, then save and reset the system. [community thread]
