Add, replace new magnetic disks to dl580 g5 hp

Hello

I implement vsan in my environment consisting of dl580 g5 servers 4 HP. Each server has 4 * 146 GB magnetic hard drives and SSD 1. It is being tested and would be presented and produced in 1 month and Finally it should be delivered with hard drives of 1 TB instead of those small hard disks. Now I have 1 problem and 1 question:

problem:

For the presentation magnetic disks , , I do RAID0 them at the start of the servers and because they cannot be added to the server automatically, I have to reset each server for identify. Is there a way to present them without reset servers?

question:

My hard drives are 146 GB and we will increase them up to 1 TB, I want to know what would happen data after their replacement?

(I put VSAN fault 1 tolerated, "no scratch" and 'no cache reserved' and ' available thin mode ").

Thanks for any answers in advance.

If I understand correctly, you are in the test phase with smaller magnetic disks.  Now that you are ready for production, you want to replace with larger magnetic disks.  You also mentioned that the disks are in RAID 0 mode and not pass through.

Because you do RAID 0 and not go through, I don't think that you will be able to replace without disconnecting a host.  But since you have 4 hosts and FTT = 1, you should be able to remove a disk from a host group; Let him data rebalance, put the host in maintenance mode, eve of the host, replacing disks, power on the computer host, re - create a disk group, let the data re - balance.  Then repeat for each host.

I hope this helps, Zach.

  • Add a new virtual disk to a very critical existing VM

    Hi all,

    My question is very simple. I have to add a new virtual disk to an existing Windows Server 2008 Standard virtual machine (we use vSphere 5). This machine

    is very critical, because it is the server of the company files. Is there a risk to add the new virtual disk on the virtual computer? Is it better to add it with the virtual machine died, or can I also in the virtual machine running without risk? I tried with a virtual test machine and everything works fine and I know to be very paranoid, but in this moment I still feel a great responsibility on me.

    Thank you all.

    There is nothing wrong by adding a disk to a virtual machine, it is HOT add, that is the advantage of the SCSI layer. VMDK all use a virtual scsi controller and it is hot add capable. SO just, add it and partition.

  • Help!  How to add a new 350GB disk?

    Hi all

    I was tasked with the addition of an extra 350GB disk to a virtual machine in a configuration, I discovered it's done not as easily in Lab Manager as it is in vCenter.  I cancelled the Setup and when I go into the properties of the VM I see 'add the HDD', but when I go to add the new drive with the size you want it only allows me to add a maximum of 167 GB (the remaining space on the LUN that VM is enabled) as expected.  I have a new 550 GB LUN I want to create this new drive 350GB, but I do not get a choice where to create the new disk.  Can someone help me please this seemingly simple task?  Thank you

    BTW - I use Lab Manager 3.0 (2) on ESX 3.5 HP blades

    If you add a new HARD disk in your virtual machine in the Lab Manager the disc is placed in the root directory of die VM.

    So, after about 6 years, we you're still enjoying our Media Center Office and have made a few updates here and there (OS, graphics card, etc.). Now, we're tired of running out of disk space and want to add a new hard drive. Now, according to the specifications of the product (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00794034), we should have two internal drive bays 3.5 ". Which one should be available. Where is located the?

    I have removed the side and before the panels, can see where the existing HARD drive is mounted on the side of the Bay of media player owner, but I can't find any other anchor point to place a secondary HARD disk. There is a lot of power open and SATA connections, but I am at a loss to find a Bay.

    Before the wreck I have my system trying to kluge something together, I want to know where the available Bay is supposed to exist.

  • Add a new disk to RAID5 on HP DL580 G3 w / ESXi 3.5

    My DL580 G3 currently has 130GB of usable with a RAID 5 configuration space. 3 x 72 GB disks.  I intend to add a fourth Ultra 320 SCSI 10 K 72 GB for additional local storage.

    The DL580 has a Smart Array 6i controller. When I boot the DL580 I see no option of RAID as an Array Configuration Utility configuration. This box came to me with the already configured RAID5 array.

    Would I be able to add a new disk using a Smart boot CD that ACU to extend the RAID 5 set? If Yes, what version of SmartStart?  I did not see one for ESXi or ESX on the site Web of HPs. is there another method that I need to use to expand the RAID5?

    THANKS :)

    If you do not see the utility of configuration of the adapter for the POST/BIOS screens? Pressing F8 does not work either?

    You should have received a Smart boot boot CD with and in most cases, the Raid configuration is possible with this Smart Start.

    If nothing happens, you could build a UBCD4Win and integrate HP Array. I did it for a Smart Array e200i, but only the cmdline versions works well. The GUI version has some limitations on the display of pop-up windows.

  • [CARS] Add the new disk in the database running environment

    Hi all

    I want to ask a question about oracle RAC especially to add a new disk.

    Here's the situation for existing oracle RAC

    1. There is 1 oracle clusterware (CRS), ASM and 2 node RAC

    2. There is a demand to add a new disk to existing diskgroup

    3. all CRS, ASM and RAC is in the online state

    I read document oracle (How to add a new disc to year Diskgroup existing RAC Cluster or stand-alone Configuration of ASM (Best Practices).) (Doc ID 557348.1()

    My question is,

    1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

    2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

    Thank you

    Adrian

    My question is,

    1. that I should stop the database, ASM and CRS when add a new disk to existing diskgroup?

    No, you need not bring down the ASM or DB

    2. are there steps that has already been proven to add a new disk in an operational environment?

    Yes, you can add the disk, ASM automatically rebalance and share the workload on the new disk.

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b31107/asmdiskgrps.htm#OSTMG10070

  • Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

    Hello

    Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

    I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

    I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

    The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

    Concerning

    Marius Aulie

    If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

    -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

    -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

    -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

    -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

    The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.

  • HP Touchsmart 23-d055: do I need a new recovery disk after upgrade to Windows 10?

    I upgraded my 2 years, HP Touchsmart in Windows 8 for Windows 8.1 for Windows 10. It took me 6 hours to run all of these updates.

    Now, HP Support Assistant keeps reminding me to create an image of system recovery. But when I run the recovery media creation utility, it warns me that he goes back to the original operating system (Win8). Is it possible to create a recovery image system for my machine on Windows 10?

    I know that Windows 10 now has an automatic recovery partition. But I am concerned by the failure of the disk, which would make this unnecessary partition. Last year, when I've upgraded to win 8.1, I had an alteration of the disc that has occurred without known reason. I lost everything on the PC and to restore Win 8, and I've never touched the PC up to 10 Windows free update is out.

    I created a USB Win8 recovery disk when I got the machine. This is my only alternative? I suppose that if I ran the recovery media creation utility, it would recreate just the same.

    BTW, I know that HP has here a document, but it does on computers provided with Windows installed 10.

    Thank you for your help and experience.

    Since no one has replied with an answer to my question, I've finally worked it on my own. I learned that you cannot make a new recovery disk system after the upgrade to Windows 10, if you had already created one when you got your machine under Windows 8.x

    Context: after upgrade to Windows 10, the HP Support Assistant kept prompting me to create a system recovery disk.  I did one when I got the machine 2 years with Win8.  I didn't replace my original recovery disk, so I went out and got a new 16GB USB flash drive. When I inserted this new drive and attempted to create a recovery disk, the PC told me I couldn't do one, because you are allowed to make a recovery disc by PC.

    So it was kind of stupid that after completing the upgrade of Windows 10, HP Support Assistant tells people to do. It should just check itself and see if a disc has already been done. All this anguish for nothing!

  • Add the RAID 5 disk in an array without openmanage

    Hi can anyone tell me if its possible to add a new disk to a RAID 5 existing table on a server without using poweredge dell openmanage software. The reason is that I am that it is almost impossible to get openmanage installed down to questions of sql and missing installation files. I'm not a DBA and that society relies completely on a sql server for all its activities on the day the day I don't want to change the Setup on sql server options.

    OMSA didn't need SQL. I think that you install rather OME (OpenManage Essentials). OpenManage Server Administrator (Managed Node) is what you need.

    You can do this on some newer controllers, but without knowing what system and controller you have, hard to say. Nothing more than 3-4 years need OMSA. You can also use a live disc OMSA to start education reconfigures.

  • I want to add to my main disk unallocated space. How can I do?

    original title: merge unallocated space!

    I want to add to my main disk unallocated space. How can I do?

    Hello

    Welcome to Microsoft Windows 7 answers Forum!

    Follow these steps below to expand your primary partition.

    1. right click on the partition (EX: C:\) you want to extend in the now unallocated partition and click Extend Volume.

    2. click on next to the Welcome to the Volume Wizard window extend

    3. Select the amount of space in megabytes that you want to use from the unallocated partition to use to extend this partition

    4. If you want to redo a partition, select all of the space available for this disc. If there is other disks with unallocated disk space, they would have shown during the selection available.

    Note: It is recommended that you do not extend a volume on a disk with another disk free space. If one of the disks has a hardware failure, all data on that partition (volume) will be deleted.

    5. click on next.

    6. click on finish in the window end extend

    You will now see the console with the new ready to use extended partition volume disk management.

    7. close the computer management.

    8. click on computer in the Start Menu and see your new Extened the volume partition.
