• Re-create a virtual disk (RAID 1) of two existing drives

  After several power outages, my server Dell PowerEdge T110 ii starts plu. The virtual disk (RAID 1) has disappeared, but the two physical disks are still visible and a State of readiness.

  Is it possible to create a virtual disk Raid1 of two existing disk which was composed the original virtual disk without losing any data?

  If this is not possible, is there a way to recover the data (image) and re - create a new virtual disk?

  I hope someone can help me.

  I don't think, because the process would have initialized the disc, which formats.

• Good size of disk RAID 1 for Time Machine

  I have a Mac Mini with a Fusion 1 TB drive. What is the recommended size for a backup drive in a RAID 1 using Time Machine configuration?

  The general consensus is that player TM (or readers in your case) should be twice the size of Mac disk.

  Take a look on > http://pondini.org/TM/1.html

  and then for Intel RAID > http://pondini.org/TM/2.html

  I use a mixed bag of backups, relying more on several clones CarbonCopyCloner as Time Machine for two reasons.

  1. If you have no problem with boot drive, you can start a CCC clone and continue working.

  2. it is faster and easier to restore from a clone of the CCC, rather than re - install OS X and then restore data from TM.

• Z220 CMT: firmware Win 8 factory 7 and install new boot disks (RAID 1)

  My Z220 came with the copy of Win 7 Pro/64-bit factory-loaded, lowered to win 8. The supplied HD is just a Seagate 500 MB to 6 MB/s SATA drive.

  I want to change my boot disks for a pair of WD series RE 1 TB disks in a RAID1 configuration.

  The 220 came with a series of restore disks: disks of recovery system 1,2 and 3 for Win 7 and a DVD of recovery Driver for WIn7 and WIn8, as long as the DVD of the operating system - Windows 8 Pro.

  So, if I install the pair of RAID array using the Intel RAID software, can I then use CD Win7 game to restore the Win7 system to the new RAID array? Is there a potential problem of activation here?

  My other idea was to use Clonezilla to clone the current Win7 system on the RAID array, but I don't know if it will work, as the discs in question are not the same...

  If you look at your partitions on the disk HP of the computer/manage/storage/disk management you should see a hidden partition which you can draw the active OS itself and also to make an installation USB or CD/DVD set.  But you already have those in hand, I believe.

  The restore thing can be confusing.  What I would do, is get a stunt or set of disks drive and start experimenting.  One of the disks is an "Activator" disc which you start with, and it gives you instructions as you go along with a clean installation, including installation RAID or simple installation on hard/SSD options.  Just keep your 500 GB out of the workstation and work with the readers of stunt.  For those, I liked the 80 GB WD Velociraptors... two correspondent off eBay are cheap, and they are quick to reformat/load/erase.  It will start to make sense fairly quickly.  For RAID works, you can experiment on 2 160 GB drives, but a full install of W7 with Office 2007 is less than 45 GB.  You just start from this first optical disc and start digging.

  The thing about the COA... When you perform a clean discs HP restore, as if your HP hard drive has failed, the process puts on a HP OEM COA serial number that is different from what is on your COA sticker.  For example, you can clone a facility and it will work on an another Z220 CMT without activation.  It checks only the BIOS of the workstation to make sure that it is a legal installation.  If you try the same thing with a W7Pro64 OEM System Builder build the clone will work but will recognize that this isn't the same job that it has been installed on original and you give a few days to feed another series of COA number.

  A clone must come from the installation of restore HP OEM with the internal controls of HP and OEM HP serial number to make it work on another box without activation problems.  Stick to right side of things and you'll be fine.

• PERC H700 driver during Windows Server 2012 r2 - disk Raid not recognized not

  Hello

  I try to install a r2 Windows Server 2012 to a Poweredge R710 with a Raid Perc H700. 2 HDD in Raid 1, but the HARD drive is not rcognized Italian Installation even if I try to use the 2008 r2 for the Perc Raid driver. They are listed, but if I select one disk HARD are not visible. What should do?

  Best regards...

  Grolle,

  Leave in the Raid Controller, what is the status of the table? In addition, was the raid 1 initialized after being created? If this isn't the case, then, who will have to be done before you try to install.

  If you download this and start on the lifecycle controller (F10) and then select deploy BONES, load these files there and proceed with the installation of the OS.

  I would like to know how will install it.

• XPS9100 disk RAID failure

  One of the drives of 500 GB SATA 150 7200 RPM RAID is dead.   When starting, I get a message "ARRAY0" degraded and takes forever to start up.   Using the configuration of F2 at startup option SATA2 is not detected and SATA3 shows a hard drive.   I guess that SATA2 is the defective drive and HDD1 in the chassis.   What is the procedure to replace the drive with a new drive?

  What type of RAID?  If you have a table striped, RAID 0, you must save any data you want to stay on an external, remove the RAID (assuming you want to keep the player which is ok), replace the defective disk, create a new RAID 0 and perform a manual of your operating system and all applications that you want to use.

  If the RAID is RAID 1, a mirror, you can recover by replacing the disc which is a failure and the RAID ROM will rebuild the table using the right disk.

  If you need additional help, please reply.

• New disks Raid 0 are a show for the installation of the OS

  Reference Dell Dim 8400. Discs 2 x 160 GB of original RAID0 configuration. Just got two new drives of 1 TB and replaced the old disks with new drives. Entered the program Intel RAID and configure in Raid 0. Also tested readers to ensure that they were not doa. Everything was fine, have a huge volume of 1.8 to all ready to go.

  When I boot from the CD to install any OS (Win2k, XP Pro, Vista), he does not see the raid volume. I get the error "you don't have a hard drive. If I run the recovery console and run diskpart, he does not see the volume either.

  I searched and google my way to no solution. Any ideas? Thank you.

• Adding disks RAID config?

  I have a Dell R510 with 4 disks configured with RAID 5 used with vSphere 5.5 - ESXi

  I have 2 homes opened on the server R510.

  Is it possible to insert two new hard drives and initialize them to allow the storage of ESXi 5.5 without disturbing the currently defined RAID 5 configuration.

  Thank you

  RAID 5 requires a minimum of 3 disks.

  You need only to configure a new VD - don't forget to check the advanced and Initialize When creating.

  Insert the disks HOT (do not turn off insert), then restart the CTRL-R utility.

• Disk RAID not accessible in the media browser

  Hi people

  Having a strange problem with a 6 TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual. I can't get the drive to work in the media in Mavericks OS X browser. It appears in the Finder and if I click on 'Local readers' in the media browser, they're there, but I can't access it. I tried to connect via Thunderbolt and USB3 and chance it to be. Oddly enough, it works fine via USB3 on my PC. I tried it on a MacBook Pro and a MacPro to 2013 and is a bust at the same time. I'm running the latest versions of the Mavericks and first Pro CC. Can anyone think of what might be stumbling Media Browser or if there is a way I have to reformat the hard drive. Currently it is Raid 0, Mac OS extended (journaled)).

  I think that I fixed it. Had to reformat the OWC drive using disk utility. Initially I did it with the utility provided with the drive. I hope that it will work again once I got all the media.

• Hard disk RAID configuration for R610

  Hi all

  I'm new to virtualization, and after reading the documents a lot, a lot, I think I'm starting to get my head around the concepts in the installation and operation of ESXi and VMs.

  My plans are to purchase a Dell R610 with the 'ESXi v4.0 2CPU Embedded, 0 year Upgrade Subscription basis, on SD card' which I think gives me basic ESXi host that can be managed remotely using VMWares free Vsphere Client?

  I'm not sure however how best to configure the machine hard drives.

  Initially, I was counting RAID1 on 2 x 15 k 146 GB and RAID5 (1 HS) on 4 x 10 k 146 GB with the RAID1 for readers of virtual machine system and RAID5 for data etc.

  But I think I can miss something fundemental of how VMs are different to normal physical machines? Is it easy/possible/useful to have a VMs data on a separate hard drive to his BONES? None of the VMS provided for are very taxing on the material.

  Is it better to say just to have the (1 HS) 5 x 146 GB RAID5 or RAID10 6 x 146 GB 15 k vs. 10 k would make much difference?

  Currently all virtual machines and their data will be stored locally. The delve into virtualization to be successul then focus on DAS or more probably a SAN iSCSI in the future.

  My apologies that it is largely on the material possible, rather than just on ESXi. I hope that you can be able to give some advice.

  Generally agree with the sixth, what is needed is a storage subsystem able to provide the number of the IOPS / s random evenly as required by multiple virtual machines running.

  The PERC 6i in these machines is a controller fast - so a RAID-5 volume with many drives high speed as possible give the best performance. Don't bother separating out the VM disks, it was never really advantage anyway, and waste IOPS / s because there are less pins available to deal with the simultaneous overall workload.

  Do not forget to spec the BBWC (think it's standard on this server in any case).

  Also, by the way, I noticed that the cost is almost cut in half with 48GB of RAM as apposed to 64 GB.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• Reduce the size of the virtual disk RAID 5

  I have Windows Server 2003 is installed on a virtual disk PERC H700 RAID-5. Total size of the disk is 5.5 TB. The problem is that WinServer 2003 cannot use the disk due to the MBR 2 TB limit (and I can't convert to GPT without destroy all partitions, which is what I try to avoid). Since 3.5 TB of drive space is unallocated (and reconciliations), is there a way to reduce the size of the virtual disk to remove this space which can not be used anyway? Then, I could by using the remaining capacity to create a new virtual disk that can be set up as GPT and access the space through it (or two new virtual drives 2 TB and 1.5 TB in size). I know that you can expand a virtual disk, but you can a shrink?

  No, you can develop most of the virtual drives, but you will not be able to reduce them.

  You will have to start on this subject, creating a VD less than 2 TB for boot/OS disk, then the rest can be used in an another VD.

• Reinstall the os and software backup extrenal hard drive on newly formatted disks raid o

  I have a gateway dx420s there a HDD 160 GB, I want to do is first of all to buy hard drives of 500 GB to 3 two who will enter the computer and set up in raid 0 stripping data that the computer supports raid 0 or raid 1. first of all I want to save my intire system on an external hard drive. install the two new drives, their formatting, and then configure the raid in the bios. then reinstall the system from the external backup hard drive. My question is - is it possible in this way? It would save a lot of time from having to reinstall the OS and all software.

  Hi DALE_F,

  If you perform a complete PC backup image, you should be able to reinstall this image from backup to the new hard drive.

• Get (5) different SAS errors for more than a year. Finally noticed after a disk RAID 1 is dead and the replacement drive will not ready. What is my controller?

  Just noticed newspapers Windows for my 6/iR PERC have been reporting these errors almost every day for a year, is my bad controller?  If Yes this is very unfortunate because it is integrated.

  1.) sense unexpected. SCSI sense data: Sense key: sense 3:11 qualifier detection code: 1: physical disk 0:0:0 controller 0, slot 0

  2.) SAS port report: SAS wide port 0 link lost on PHY 0. : controller 0 (SAS 6/iR integrated)

  3.) predictive Failure reported: physical disk 0:0:0 Controller 0, slot 0

  4.) (ERROR MORE RECURRING): a disk media error has been corrected. : virtual disk 0 (virtual disk 0) controller 0 (SAS 6/iR integrated)

  5.) \Device\RaidPort0, restore the device, has been published.

  Hello.

  In addition to the Windows logs, what is the status of the disk (VD) virtual and physical disk 0:0:0 in the BIOS of the controller or the OpenManage Server administrator? If the status of predictive failure is constantly reported, then you can consider replacing the physical disk 0:0:0. If the replaced disk is offline, try to force if online via the controller BIOS. Make sure that your BIOS and controller firmware is up-to-date.

• Adding disks RAID PowerEdge R710

  We have a PowerEdge R710 running a RAID1/RAID5 configuration.

  • PERC 6 / i SAS Raid Controller with 2 x 4 internal connectors.
  • RAID1 is composed of (2) 146GB 15K drives 2.5 "SAS.
  • RAID5 is composed of (3) 500GB 7.2 K Nearline 2.5 "SAS drives.
  • (3) empty bays are available.

  The server running VMware ESXi v5.0.0. We have almost maxed out storage so I need to add storage. I don't know what are the options I have to do this. These are the options that are possible, I hope.

  • Add 500 GB (3) discs the same as installed readers and expand the RAID5.
  • Add 500 GB (3) discs the same as installed readers and create a 2nd RAID5.
  • Add (3) 1 or 2 to 7.2 K near-Line SAS 2.5 "drives and create a 2nd RAID5.

  Can the PERC6 / i controller supports an another RAID5?

• Can WRT1900ACS use an external hard drive with disks in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD?

  Hello

  Happy new year.

  Is an external drive with more disks RAID 0, 1; JBOD compatible with WRT1900ACS?

  I have this idea to tie a big (6-8 TB) external drive and use the DLNA feature as an alternative to a computer as NAS and DLNA server. The external drive could be four 2 TB Western Digital hard drives in RAID 0, 1; JBOD. The boxes can be:

  - Western Digital my book Duo.

  - IB-3640SU3 - external case of JBOD 4 x with eSATA and USB 3.0 for disks 3.5 "SATA hard.

  I hope someone can help clarify if I have misunderstood something.

  Concerning

  Jan Rouvi

  Hello. It is not recommended to use this type of enclosure with the WRT1900ACS, since most of this is managed by software that are installed on the computer. The software will not be able to detect hard drives, whether they are connected to the router and the router does not have this capability to configure drives in RAID 0, 1, or JBOD. The configuration of the router storage tool is just very basic. If you really need to configure RAID 0, 1, or JBOD in terms of network, you must obtain a SIN.
