• Update hard disk for Satellite 1900 102

  Hi all

  I used to work with a Toshiba Satellite 1900 102 since July 2002 and March my hard drive has stopped working (maybe it was time).
  Where can I buy records 2.5 "that this series of satellites can be supported?

  What is the maximum capacity (in GB) laptop that recognizes the old man?

  Thanks for all your help!

  Hello

  2.5 hard drives can be bought anywhere I think then, either you contact an authorized service provider or you visit your favorite computer store.

  I think that the Satellite 1900 limits the 28-bit LBA. This would mean that the size of the HARD disk is limited to 128 GB. The maximum capacity is 120 GB that you can use, but I think that 80 GB would be enough according to your amount of files you want to save on the HARD drive.

  If you have any other questions please let us know! :)

• Adding hard drive for poweredge 2900

  I need to add a hard drive for storage on a server poweredge 2900.  There are 4 HARD drives in a RAID 5 array, but I don't want to add the new hard drive in the array.  I installed the HDD but impossible to initialize the disc and do it online.  Is there something that needs to be done first?  I do not have the options to reconfigure, only blink and add spare of the OSMA.

  Thank you

  Assuming you have a PERC 5/6, it is important to know that the PERC does NOT support non-RAID.  So, if you want to use a disk like a stand-alone drive, you must first configure it in a RAID array.  The only RAID level that accepts a single drive is RAID 0.  You can do since within the OMSA inside the BONE (storage, PERC, Information/Configuration, create/New in list dropdown controller), or you can do it from the CTRL-R during POST utility (brightness, control F2, Create/New - be sure to check the advanced options and initialize boxes).

  (Reconfigure is the option that you choose to add it to your existing 5 RAID to increase its size.)

• VMWare backup for the large disks (over 2 TB)?

  Hi all

  I have an environment that have a large disks (> 2 to) Guest VM with a requirement to perform the backup.

  As I understand it, VDP (Data Protection) has a limit of disk backup less than 2 TB. Any backup solution for this?

  Help, please!

  Limiting reference: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vmware-data-protection-administration-guide-555.pdf

  Thank you

  Hi, James, you should switch to vSphere 5.5 first, because it introduced management of disks in virtual machine (vmdk) more than 2 TB. Once upgraded, you will be able to use the latest version of Veeam Backup and replication (v7 R2) which fully supports vSphere 5.5.

  See you soon.

• PowerEdge 1900 & WS2012r2

  Gents

  I decided to migrate my old WHS2011 about her inherited PowerEdge 1900.

  I have 10 SATA drives to transfer (sizes 1 to - 4TB). I started by moving the 3 x 2 TB SATA B, C & D Port drives so that they know. SATA is occupied by the SSD.

  Now, everything went sooth (hardware wise) all disks are recognized, to 3 x 2 disks are added to WS2012r2 Essentials Poll.

  I started the migration of data to free the other drives which I hope for you connect to Perc 5 and other PCIe SATA card, but what I've noticed, it's as writing speeds (when moving data on GBit NIC) 33.5 MB/s with occasional spikes 67.4 MB/s.

  I think it's because one of the SATA Ports (B, C or D) is ATA and limited at 33 Mbps. unfortunately I am struggling to find info on this.

  Someone knows the speed of the built-in SATA ports? or how to improve transfer speeds?

  As mentioned, I have some readers go so behalf of all ports.

  Thank you

  Daniel

  You are right. the bottleneck is not caused by SATA.

  I forgot to mention that the pool, I created the WS2012r2E using parity as a measure of redundancy. Apparently, the parity is to blame for low writing speeds - problem applicable only to the Scriptures known. Readings are fine.

  Thanks for responding

• Adding new disks in the PS4100

  Hello

  I have a PS4100 with 12 600 GB disks in RAID-50 (4.18 TB), and both drives are spare.

  I want to develop more 1 TB and need to know if I can buy more discs and adding the existing pool.

  Or I have to buy more than 3 disks for a RAID-5?

  After placing a new drive, the total space of the pool will be available for expansion?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You cannot run the different RAID levels on the Member of the same group.  Once you set the RAID policy only politics is possible on this physical member.  Also, you can add just a few readers to expand current RAID set.  If the table is filled with 1/2, the upgrade option is only to add another 12 discs of the same type size.  If you use larger disks, will only be used for the capacity of the smallest disk.

  Readers must also be purchased from Dell and especially for the EQL San.  Generic disks won't work.

  Kind regards

• PowerEdge 1900 and Poweredge 840 and NO hardware RAID SATA HD, FreeNAS with ZFS

  I searched these forums and the web in general a concise my questions answer, but nothing is done.  I just happen to find someone who is using 'old' technology and it retarget as much as you might think (I am a broke student by the way).

  I bought a Poweredge 1900 Server & server Poweredge 840 ebay about last year.  I've been busy and have yet to work with these two units.  I wanted to use the PE 1900 as a file server and then push a backup of these files on the server off site, the PE840.  I intended to buy four 1 TB or four disks SATA 2 to (WD Black or RED WD) for each system, respectively.

  I've been through a few videos on youtube the other day and discovered FreeNAS.  This seems to be a much better solution than the use of Ubuntu Server, but it also made me think about the hardware Raid with these systems.  If FreeNAS uses ZFS (software raid controller), you want to avoid a hardware raid controller.

  My current assumptions, please correct me if I'm wrong on any of the following:

  I think that each of these systems to support drives up to 2 TB?, I think that I can use the SATA drives and not SAS, four discs in each system drives.

  I believe that I can boot from USB flash drive (a quick, which I intend to install FreeNAS on which they recommend)

  I think I can connect readers to the Perc/Raid Controller controller (& just turn 'off' RAID), or simply directly on the motherboard.  (What woud be the advantages/disadvantages of the use of the card or simply by using the Council)

  I intend on working with what I have right now (cheap and available), then once I get this configuration work that I take it out of the sand/lab sandbox, upgrade the processors and ram up my budget will allow and go live with the installation program (if it is still possible)

  From now on, they are sitting in a corner, begging to consume energy, and fans of polute the soundscape with their cries (PE1900 precisely).  I know that I could pursue other options but I already these two units.

  I really want to utilze FreeNAS its serving capacity file and ZFS for its reliability.  Is it possible with this camera?, or should I junk them and move on?

  Thank you for your answer!

  I've done some research more and since FreeNAS is built off of FreeBSD supported hardware is the same.  I couldn't find a list for FreeNAS specifically so I looked to FreeBSD.  I was still confused about the material and decided to go forward with the poweredge 840, for two reaasons, there already 8 GB of ram and it is not as heavy to move on (from 1900). I shoot the raid controller (for simplicity) and I plugged in three 250 GB SATA drives and a 40 GB SSD.  I had to set the bios for the usb key is recognized and also due to adapt to be considered as a hard drive, then had to define the sequence of boot to the usb drive, acting as a hard drive.  Once all that has been said and done, I wrote my FreeNAS image on my USB and booted up.

  It took maybe 10 minutes and I was up and running (once I had configured the hardware and bios), I created a RaidZ (as proposed FreeNAS) and with my three 250 GB drives, it produced 453 GB of usable disk space.  The 40 GB SSD is used as L2ARC (from my cache of understanding), I tried the installer with and without the 40 GB SSD.  The difference was impressive, just opening the photos or streaming video on my laptop Win 8.1 (Dell 17r) is almost flawless, as if the files were stored locally.

  I was impressed by how quick and easy to use FreeNAS, simple and fast network shares can be configured with permissions that works quite simply not in less than 5 minutes.  I don't have Windows Server down, but generally configuration active directory takes a little more effort.

  I am satisfied for the moment and continues to experiment with the Poweredge 840 until I commit to a processor upgrade.  Once I acquire 16 GB memory for my Poweredge 1900 I will perform with her, as it has only 1 GB now, crazy.

  Thank you for your help.

• I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  I'm using Time Machine (1 TB), works very well, but because full starting to delete previous backups. Can I add another (LaCie 1 TB) HARD disk for backups? If so, how to proceed. Thank you!

  You can add another drive to accept backups Time Machine... assuming it is correctly formatted for Mac to Mac OS extended (journaled), but things are not exactly "continue."

  You have not indicated if you intend to add the player to the USB port on the Time Capsule, or connect directly to your computer using USB or FireWire connections. Or the other method works, with the option to connect directly to the computer being the faster connection.

  Once the disc is added, you would go in Time Machine preferences (click the "clock" at the top of the screen on your Mac) to add the disk for Time Machine backups and delete the old Time Capsule disk, since backups will go is no longer this destination.

  Since you have a new drive, Time Machine will do a new full backup of your Mac and then go forward with incremental backups.

• How can I find and open/search the 32 GB of data that fills the disk for possible deletion?

  Download and run JDiskReport.

  There are a number of things you can do to- temporarily - free up disk space.  The only real solution, however, is to get a larger hard drive.

  • You can run Disk Cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK)
  • You can reduce the size allocated for the restoration of the system to about 1 GB (right click on desktop > properties > system restore > settings)
  • You can disable hibernation (if you don't use it) (right click on an empty spot on the desktop > properties > screen saver > power > Hibernate)
  • You can disable the indexing of the drive, which will also speed up your computer a bit (http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp)
  • You can reduce the size of your Internet browser cache (depending on the browser that you use)
  • You can remove most of the $NTUninstallKBxxxxxx files $ following the directions here: http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Hotfix_backup.htm (read the warnings in the gray box first)

  But none of these answers you will earn really large amounts of space for very long.  The term solution time is a bigger hard drive.

  In the meantime, download and run JDiskReport, that will show you graphically what files take up more space and seem to so indicate what files to delete or uninstall applications.

• PERC 4/Di in Poweredge 1900?

  Hello

  You can use the PERC 4/Di from a PowerEdge 2600 server in a PowerEdge 1900 or it is not compatible?

  Thank you.

  No, the PERC 4/Di is a built-in controller (RAID logic is on the motherboard) and is activated by the RAID key (otherwise, it's just a SCSI disk controller). The 1900 doesn't have the built-in ability to take a key or manage the RAID. You need a card. Get the PERC 6 / i.

  If you're talking about the PERC 4/DC (which is a card), it can work, but I still wouldn't use it.

  When I bought the camera, not to not order any controller RAID; before installing Win2008, I would add one of the system.  The only options I can find are for the PERC5 / i and the SAS5 / I.

  Does anyone know if or the other of these controllers are supported on Windows Server 2008?  I would like to know before I have shell out money to buy a...

  Thank you

  Jeff Hicks

  Here is a link to the manual, page 92 will give you the steps to replace the battery: ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_ser_stor_net/esuprt_poweredge/poweredge-1900_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.pdf

  Your RAID configuration is stored on the discs. Turn the power off and replace the battery, then start back. Upon request, accept the configuration of readers and move forward.

• Adding additional disk space to Perc 6 / i server R710

  I have currently 3 250 GB installation as a raid 5 (original configuration) disks on a server R710 with a Perc 6 / i controller.  I ordered 3 discs (same readers) that we are running out of disk space. There is a set up disk C: and D:.  Can someone point me to instructions for adding these additional disks for the raid existing (drive D) without having dataloss?

  Thank you

  Gary

  If you don't have that one 'disk' listed in disk management, then you have only a single VD configured, which is good.

  You must install OMSA to broaden your VD. You then insert your new drives, make sure that they show as ready under physical disks, then go to virtual disks and select Reconfigure to your RAID 5. Adding two drives in your RAID 5 will add about 500GB (bit math makes it a little less) to your current Windows 'disk '. After the reconfigure statement, you will have something similar to below. Then, assuming that you do not run 2003, you click on the D: drive and choose Extend to finish with the second photo:
