Add MD1200 to PE R420

I need to add more storage to a PE R420. I use this server to the other servers, Arcserve Backup. Additional storage would mainly for backup storage a process of disk to disk-to-tape.

I am considering using a combination of MD1200/PERC H800 with (6) discs Nearline SAS 4 TB in a RAID 10 configuration.

On the road, when I need to add capacity by adding additional disks to the MD1200, what are my options? Let's say I have add more drives 4 TB (4). I would be able to complete this capacity RAID 10 existing and add to the existing volumes or create new volumes, or should I create a 2nd RAID 10 with one or more separate volumes?

Thank you.

A correction to the post of Sam. In accordance with the manual of PERC H810 (you have a 12th generation PowerEdge, PERC is you would like to get to a MD1200/1220) on page 18, you cannot reconfigure a set of split volumes raid (raid 10, 50 and 60).

downloads.Dell.com/.../PowerEdge-RC-h310_User%27s%20Guide_en-US.pdf

If you will not be able to expand a raid 10. Only raid 0 (cannot be used for production data), 5 and 6 can be changed to grow.

The PERC H800 had the same limitations.

  • Add existing MD1220 MD1200

    Hi, I have MD1220 in place and I would like to add MD1200. Is that possible or it must be MD1220? Thank you...

    You can add a daisy chain out of a MD1220 MD1200. Depending on your raid controller, you can make this hot (on-the-fly). With the PERC H800 or H810, you can add it on the fly. If you use a non Dell raid controller, you can add it without doubt on the fly, but it's something you want to check with the manufacturer of raid controller.

    If your MD1220 is fixed on a storage type MD3200 SAN solution, you may need to anticipate downtime to add a new box.

  • Can I extend my MD1200 RAID6 configuration?

    Hi all

    I have a PERC H800 and MD1200 RAID6 would be on a PE on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 2970.  Currently I have 8 disks SAS of 2 TB, but 4 locations open and would like to extend.  Is it as simple as the addition of 4 disks? After saving the data, of course...  Any help appreciated.

    You will need to do is install Open Server to manage the server administrator. Which may require a reboot. Then put the new HDD and inside the OMSA you can go to the virtual disk and select this option to reconfigure. It will allow you to select the new drives to add to the VFD. Once this process is complete, you will need to use a utility such as diskpart to actually extend partition on windows. Also, as you mentioned, it is essential to ensure that you make a backup prior to this process, just to be sure. Please let me know if you have other questions I would be happy to help you.

El caso are so creo el cluster con el Nodo 1 y 2 Nodo (sugar Québec cada uno fisica Máquina distinta ellos y bajo mismo Dominio) me error UN da has the el crear hora cluster. In cambio, if creo el Cluster con este nodos if any to crea, pero el fallo viene a hora of connect UN nodo adicional (ya sea o 1 Nodo Nodo 2). Este fallo viene cuando el nodo TR checks are completely funcional in el Cluster, is is "pensando" y da fallo por tiempo sold.

    He revisado problemas similar y he visto that el antivirus can be una causa e caso no lo're are only aun no he wont any AV... There comprobado red devices (utilizamos 4, 2 iSCSI, 1 red LAN y otra heart rate), he desactivado los red el protocolo IPv6 devices, he probado connect los nodos con el Kerio Offline, el desactivado firewall of Windows, exportar components del registro TCPIP6, capture las conexiones iSCSI...

    El cluster is as en Máquinas Office instalacion del WS2012 y is ha hecho manera person, no mediante VMWare del injerto.

  • Upgrade RAM R420

    Looking for possibly increase the RAM on a R420: dual processor (2 x Intel Xeon E5-2430 2.2 GHz), 2012 64-bit server. The vehicle currently has 16 GB of RAM (4 x 4 GB 1333 MHz); total of 12 slots reports system information. What are the configuration/ordering options possible with the addition of extra 4 GB or 8 GB sticks? I did not necessarily a desired level of GB to achieve, but I'd like to at least get to 24GB.

    (I've seen a few similar posts, but not with my exact Setup, so I hope that this is not a duplicate)

    Intel Xeon E5-2430 2.2 GHz x 2

    Klb_Arc,

    It will build on the DIMM 4 GB UDIMM or Rdimms are existing. If the DIMMs to 4 GB UDIMM so the only option you would add DIMMS to 4 GB to 48 GB. Now, if they are Rdimms you more options. With Rdimms, you can go to 96 with 12 8 GB DIMMS, or even 192 GB, if you si vous deviez need to chose 12 16 GB DIMMS. With their mix, I would suggest adding 4-DIMM 8 GB and placing them in A1, A2, B1 and B2. Then place the 4 4 GB DIMMS in slots, A4, A5, B4, and B5. Which leaves you with a total of 48 GB total. You can now add and remove part of the DIMM for different configurations, it is just a suggestion.

    Let me know if this helps answer your questions.

    I have an ipod touch 128 GB... but I'm almost to reach its maximum.

    I want to do is buy a new ipod touch 128 GB and add new music without synchronizing the entire library to it... I have 2 ipods in conjunction with the other copies of the other.

    is this possible?

    What should I do?

    Matt

    When you get the new iPod, you can use iTunes on your computer to select and synchronize the music you want on it, in the same way that you synchronize your current iPod - your iTunes will recognize them as different devices and will remember your choice of synchronization for each, it will not (unless, for example, you restore the backup of your current on her iPod) put the same content on both.

    I was going through my photo library (running 2.0 on Sierra Photos) cleaning and marking of the people. I got far just about every face on the left is a square white, gray. If I add this person, the area where the image would be just rotates the circle of progress.

    Any idea on what is happening? I really miss the ability in iPhoto in order to have a Smart Album based on a photograph with a person "without name".

    Thank you, Tim

    That is a disused here bug that if you click on the x to remove a face, you end up with a tile empty - I hope that this will be fixed in a future Apple 9tell on the bug to improve its priority - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html of output) and I hope that the patch will fix these old problems as well as properly - not advancing It is better to stop the removal of the faces until this problem is corrected

The sound folder is locked and I have, even as an administrator, can't unlock it or add sounds in the folder.  All I have now is a drop-down list of predetermined choice of Apple, and none of these things include the addition of new sounds.  Preference once gave me the choice to go to my files, I have more choice. Can someone tell me how to add my own sounds?

    Greetings gklav,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It seems that you want to use a custom sound in Mail when a new message arrives. I recommend reading this article, it explains how the feature works and what is available.

  • Tips to add a VPN router to my current network configuration

    Dear all

    My apologies if the answer to this question already exists, however, I searched in many situations and none seem to match what I'm after.

    I currently have an ISP modem/router in Bridge mode connected to a TC of Apple which is my wireless router, I have 2 Express airport connected to this acting as the extensors of the range.  I have a VPN service through the MyPrivate network I activate on the desired device when required and everything works fine.

    What I want to do now is to be able to use my AppleTV and burning Amazon via the VPN as well so you need to add a VPN router in the configuration.  I want to finish with 2 wireless networks running together for these devices who need VPN and those who are not.  I don't want to lose the opportunity to extend the network to express it however airport.

    If someone could explain to me if this is possible and if so how do I set up the network.

    Thanks in advance

    Mark

    Basically you would need a device that supports VPN-passthrough and VLANS for your goals of networking. MyPrivate network, seems to be a VPN SSL, which is a user-server configuration. In other words, you install a client VPN on your Mac and you connect to the VPN network MyPrivate server to establish a VPN tunnel.

    Networking two or more "separated", should be using a router that supports VLAN services. Each segment of VIRTUAL local area network, in essence, would be a separate, she either wired or wireless network or a combination of both. This would probably be the 'easiest' part for the installation program.

    Now how combining the two would be the question, and I don't know what would be the best way, or even if it is possible.

    A few thoughts:

    • Use a router that supports VLANS. Create at least two VIRTUAL LAN segments. One for Apple TV & Burns, one for Internet access in general. Connect the device to VPN client host on the first segment, and configure for Internet sharing.
    • Download a dedicated VPN network application that supports hosting of third-party VPN clients, like yours. You would still need a router that supports VLAN to provided separate network segments.
    • Hire a consultant network. Let them know what you the goals of networking and ask them to offer potential solutions.
