Description
Management and Monitoring of Raid Controller
The Dell 07H4CN Perc H730p 8 Channel PCI-Express 3.0 SAS 12GBPS SATA 6GBPS Raid Controller can be managed and monitored through the following methods:
- Dell OpenManage Storage Management software – This software allows for the management and monitoring of the controller and its connected drives through a web-based interface.
- Dell OpenManage Server Administrator – This software allows for the management and monitoring of the controller and its connected drives through a web-based interface, as well as through command-line interface.
- Dell OpenManage PowerEdge RAID Controller (OMSA) – This software allows for the management and monitoring of the controller and its connected drives through a command-line interface.
- Dell’s RAID Web Console 2 – This software allows for the management and monitoring of the controller and its connected drives through a web-based interface, as well as through a command-line interface.
- Dell’s RAID BIOS (UEFI) – This software allows for the management and monitoring of the controller and its connected drives through the BIOS (UEFI) interface during the boot process.
- Using S.M.A.R.T (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) for hard disk drives that come with it, to monitor the health of the hard disk drives, and to detect and report on various indicators of drive reliability.
The management and monitoring of the controller can be done locally or remotely, depending on the software used and the network configuration of the server.
Power Consumption and Energy Efficiency
The Dell 07H4CN Perc H730p 8 Channel PCI-Express 3.0 SAS 12GBPS SATA 6GBPS Raid Controller is designed to be energy efficient, consuming minimal power to operate. The exact power consumption will depend on the number of drives connected to the controller and the RAID configuration being used.
The controller supports the following energy-saving features:
- Dynamic Power Management: The controller can adjust power consumption based on the workload, reducing power usage when the system is idle.
- Hot Plug Support: The controller allows for hot-plugging of drives, so you can add or replace drives without having to power off the system.
- Low-Profile Form Factor: The controller is designed to fit into low-profile systems, reducing overall energy consumption.
- Power Loss Data Protection: The controller has an onboard capacitor that provides power for up to 72 hours to preserve data in case of power failure.
- Energy Efficient Design: The controller is designed to consume minimal power when not in use, making it an energy-efficient choice for your system.
In general, the controller is designed to be as energy-efficient as possible while providing high-performance RAID functionality.
