Adding a new Hot Swap HDD to a PowerEdge T420

My server T420 currently switchable 3-hot hard drives installed and I intend to install 2 hard drives hot swap. The server has ESXi 5.1 and I am looking for the instructions for this process. The plan is to turn off the server, install the new HDD and reconfigure the BIOS to power for hard drives new. Is the installation process for the similar server to our plan or very different?

Shad515,

You can stop the server, but it is not necessary since you have hot swappable hard drives. While in THE RAID controller BIOS, simply insert drives into available slots. Hard drives will appear in a 'READY' State At this point, you have to reconfigure your virtual disk as needed.

    I bought an opportunity StarTech SATADOCK525 Trayless 5.25 "Bay mounted 2.5" and 3.5 "SATA Drive Dock on eBay.

The drive receives power and works of HD if the disc is in the dock when I start the computer. However I that I swap the disk, the new HD no longer works. Is it because of the BIOS RAID control.

    I have 3 HD over the CD/DVD and the Dock, so I need 5 active SATA cables. I have RAID + AHCI value because I need 5 active ports.

Everything I see is green lighted to go, but I always want to get will as many resources as possible before blowing a RAID 10 potentially because a controller had some setting that prevents a switchable good hot to rebuild.

    Hello matt.newman,

    For the MD1000, you can replace a failed during execution of the MD1000 drive.  When you insert the replacement drive, it will start a reconstruction.

    To replace the Perc6 you will need to do is the following:

    1. Make sure you have a good backup tested all the MD data
    2. Turn off the server and the MD
    3. The PERC6. Remove and replace
    4. Turn on the MD & wait that he move to a ready state
    5. Turn the server & go in the new Bios Perc6 / configuration
    6. You have to re-create the raid10 & together for Adaptive Read Ahead, political writing back, broadband 64 KB, off the disk cache strategy
    7. Once you have created the raid then leave the PERC6 configuration utility and the Server post to the operating system
    8. Once logged on the operating system you can then run the restore to restore your data to the MD

    I try to get hot to labour in the 9800 unsuccessfully Simulator code swap. All the online documentation says it should work and I saw the evidence that it works on the old JDK to http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/Testing-and-Deployment/How-To-Use-Hot-Swap-with-the-BlackBerr... . Nice article... but it does not mention the eclipse plugin. I can't find "Simulator of reuse" check box on one of the eclipse debugging configuration forms!

    When I change my code and trying to debug a second time, I get the message "A BlackBerry debugging session is already active."

    I can run the Simulator 9800 ok, but it takes 10-15 minutes of startup: ^(et cela tue ma productivité.)

    Could someone rim give a clear statement or point me to a final resource stating if hotswap is supported on the eclipse plugin.

    Thank you

    I got it work after trying two additional things. I don't know which one solved the problem.

    1. I had an entry in my environment variable path pointing to a directory of 'bin' of the eclipse plugin that I deleted old.

    2. I did a complete new installation of the classic eclipse 3.5.2 1.1.2 BlackBerry plugin eclipse and plugin SDK 6.0.

    Don't know which of these things is switchable hot work.

    I still get traded an exception when the debugger attaches more switchable hot but if I click here my code gets hot and I am able to continue debugging on the 6.0 9800 Simulator so I'm a happy guy

  • Drives hot swap in BIOS not safe to remove the value

    I have a Doc Icy as the docks of the internal disks in a Bay with two power switches front of 5.25 inch front - one for the 2.5 inches dock bay and one for the Bay dock of 3.5 inches.  In the last inserted here readers as well as internal hard drives would come in safe to delete list.  Apparently a Win 7 update fixed the internal drives appear.  Now, even if for the ICY Doc SATA ports are on hot swap in the BIOS, they still do not appear in the delete list safe, which means that the superior policies drive removable section don't appear in the tab Device Manager strategies as they did and still do for USB drives.

    I found here in the forum a few lines of registry added to disable records showing in safe to delete the list, so I wonder if there are a few lines or a tweak for these lines to get two ICY DOC SATA ports to appear in Safe to remove - or y at - it another way?

    Here's the instructions to Remove readers of safe to remove from the other post by Bobby Mikkelson.

    1. click on Start

    2. in the search programs and files box, type the command

    3. under programs, click command prompt , click run as administrator

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or click on continue.

    4. copy and paste or type each of the commands at the command prompt and press enter after each command

    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel0" / f/v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    Reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel1" / f/v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001

    5 restart your computer to activate the registry changes

    Note: There may be some trial and error to determine the appropriate ports (also called "channels").

    The number of channel indicated in the device maybe Manager may not match the channel number in the registry, you may need to set the value and check the desired effect.

    There is currently no entries like this in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\

    In case it is not clear - I WANT that drives DOC ICY appears in safe to remove.

  • Added the new computer but lost all favorite settings on old. I need new account keep different settings on both?

    My laptop (i5, running Win 7) is my workhorse computer that had all my favorite settings stored. I added a new office (AMD, Win 8.1) that will be used as a multimedia entertainment unit, but when I connected the cable to install FireFox it replaced all the settings in my laptop with the new computer. How can I keep the different settings on each computer? Must have 2 different accounts to be able to do this? I have now lost the web address for some of my sites, so it's quite painful. The "recently marked with a bookmark" folder is the main problem, because it is where I was monitoring my sites.

    In your case, I won t exchange the CPU.
    It is not really important because the price of a new processor is high and you get much more performance.
    The BIOS does not always work with the CPU and Toshiba doesn't supports this service.

  • RN104 - added 4 new 4 TB drives. 2.5 days of resynchronization. Start copying files, or wait until it's done?

    I think I've drunk mostly in the title...

    I just added four new 4TB discs (WD40EFRX) to a vacuum RN104 running the latest operating system. (6.4.0)

    At the start, he started a resynchronization estimated at about 70 hours.

    Is a resynchronization required on an empty set of disks? (If not, can I cancel?)

    If I have to re-sync, can I go ahead and start writing some stuff on the drive is Resyncing? (I'm willing to take whatever the performance hit, there could be.)

    Thank you!

    The synchronization is made at the level of the block of readers, even thoug hthey are empty, they still need to be resynced.

    If it's critical to copy the data across, you can start adding data while resynchronization is in progress. Although you will take a significant performance hit, synchronization and the writing speed. AND, you won't have the advantage of reduncancy until the end of the resynchronization.

    Unless it's critical data, my suggestion would be to wait until the Resync is finished, and THEN copy the data across.

  • Added the new kingston 256 GB ssd to my MBP 13 "2012

    I added a new ssd 256 GB kingstone to my MBP 13 "2012 and it worked fine for a month, today it has frozen and restarted without reason. and there is a folder with a questionmark in the middle of the screen icon. I once git to start again and now it stoped working again. Can any ideas on how I fix this?

    You can contact the manufacturer and see what are the provisions of the warranty.

    Start the recovery partition and run disk utility > first aid.

    If there is no problem, remove the SSD and install it in a closed Chamber.  Plug it into the MBP via USB and see if it will start the MBP.  If so, the internal SATA may have to be replaced.

  • Adding a new hard drive on e9180t

    Hi, I have e9180t and I'm considering adding a new hard drive.

    Can my office manage 3 to/6.0 GB/s 64 MB Cache SATA internal hard drive?  I get my full performance out of it?

    I read the possible combinations (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01817977 specification page

    Is there a limit to the capacity of the hard drive?  (up to 2 TB)?

    Can handle a 6.0 GB/s transfer rate?

    I currently have 2 hard drives in the following:

    1 TB - Barracuda (st31000528as) 7200 RPM 32 MB SATA 3.0 GB / s
    500 GB - Maxtor DiamondMax 21 (STM3500630AS) 7200 RPM 16 MB SATA 3.0 GB/s

    If I buy 3 to/6.0 GB/s hard drive and use it as a hard drive, will I use these two hard drives as a secondary hard drives?

    Thank you!

    For those who might be interestd, this is what I found after some digging and calling:

    Since the motherboard that comes with e9180t (ipmtb-tk) is SATA 2, its speed is limited to 3.0 GB/s.   When 6.0 GB/s hard drive is connected, the speed will slow down to 3.0 GB/s.

    You can only use the full 3 TB capabity if your motherboard bios has opportunity to support UEFI interface.  However, most of the motherboards built before 2011 doesn't have this option.  ipmtb-tk is one of them.  However, there is a work around.

    1. go in the bios and check that the interface is set to AHCI (non-RAID).

    2. when the disk partition is loaded, you will be able only to the 2 TB partition.  another partition 750Go seems a separate partition that you cannot change.  Partition the 2 TB the way you want to and install Windows 7 on it.

    3. after that excavation is done, download Seagate Disk Wizard.  Later one of their homepage did not work, however.  You must download this one:

    http://www.seagate.com/staticfiles/support/downloads/discwizard/DiscWizardSetup-14382.en.exe
    

    I don't know why they don't have this default link on their home page when you go to download DiscWizard.

    Once the wizard disk is installed, it will pick up the 750Go that you weren't able to before partition as a new drive and now will allow you to partition.   (Keep the MBR instead of TPG setting, format it to NTFS)

    Once you partition using the tool, Viola!  a new drive with 750 GB of space has been added as a new drive.

    Hello community

    I looked around, without success, and it took a lot, too much time to settle. Keep in mind, I'm no expert with the java/eclipse development environment, so what might seem routine for you would not be for me.

    I had a project that depends on another, I make a change to the Basic project and it used to reflect properly. Now, however, I have to reboot before the changes to the basis of work. I tried the upgrade, copying the empty spaces of work/projects projects, nothing doesn't seem to work and no info on why it fails. Hot swap has just stopped working. Remember that if I make a change to the main project, hot swap works. All ideas
