ASM & iSCSI - disk has gone forever

I installed Centos 5.9 (don't ask...), my storage is a drive Bay of 10 scsi drives connected via the iscsi Protocol, and I installed grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.3 (software only).

I was setting up ASM, but when I added the candidate disks, it never ended, then I canceled. After several futile attempts to get it to work, I decided to reboot the server.

I think I saw her because before restarting the server, I had uninstalled ASMLib.

The server wouldn't start due to errors related to the disks. After doing a bit of magic, I disabled the connection on the discs and was able to start, but now I have some problems when you try to connect to the disks:

starting at $ /etc/init.d/iscsid

$ chkconfig--add iscsi

$ chkconfig iscsi on

$ iscsiadm m - t sendtargets Pei 10.9.254.2 discovery

10.9.254.1:3260, 1 iqn.1986 - 03.com.hp:storage.p2000g3.121514b3cc

10.9.254.12:3260, 8 iqn.1986 - 03.com.hp:storage.p2000g3.121514b3cc

Then I try to connect to the Portal 10.9.254.2 (I'm not sure how to determine what portal should I use, but it used to work before):

$ iscsiadm, node m t iqn.1986 - 03.com.hp:storage.p2000g3.121514b3cc - l Pei 10.9.254.2

But it never ends, so I have to cancel it. Looks like it's connected and work:

$ iscsiadm-m session

TCP: [8] 10.9.254.1:3260, 1 iqn.1986 - 03.com.hp:storage.p2000g3.121514b3cc

TCP: [9] 10.9.254.3:3260, 5 iqn.1986 - 03.com.hp:storage.p2000g3.121514b3cc

.. .but it does not work:

$ iscsiadm m - session-P3

(...)

The strange thing here is just beginning, in/proc/partitions I can see only of sda. But the remaining machines appear progresively... after an hour, I can see all the:

At the end of the day, I see 2 devices as 'unknown' and others as 'running '. But I can't even fdisk them:

$ fdisk-l/dev/sda

Nothing is returned. We will try to create a partition:

$ fdisk/dev/sda

Unable to open/dev/sda

I can't access any device of sdX, because there is not one in/dev.

This is the log that I got when I tried to connect to the target using the iscsiadm command:

I also tried to reinstall ASMLib, network and iscsi tools.

I'm tired of this problem, please kindly share ideas. No one could help me on the Centos forum.

Finally, I solved this.

I had to use MPIO, because when I accesed drives node of the wave, all was fine, but when I accessed the other node disks, disks began to show problems.

    Hello

    Partitioning your disks for ASM configuration as 'A' might make sense. If you lose one disk, you have the discs to another.

    'B' totally make sense if you have lost the disc that you have lost all group ASM and you need to change this with something like 'C '.

    But obviously you need redundancy ASM configured appropriately.

    Kind regards

  • We found no boot disk or startup disk has failed?

    OK, so yesterday my wireless mouse is broken, I restart my computer to get it to work again. When I did, it has not fixed my problem, so I went online to see some solutions. When I went on a secure site, I got an alert on my computer and something about 2 programs being completed. It seemed was going to turn off the computer, and in a panic, I turn it off. When I turned it back on, it went straight to the verification of the startup disk. And it gives me the message: no boot disk was detected or the startup disk has failed. I got it a couple of times before and all I ha do turn off two or three times, and he'd turn out normally. It won't work, and I tried several ways to remedy. I clicked on F2 and F8 a F11, but nothing works, and I do not have a cd with media recovery settings. Any help would be appreciated.

    When you request support, please provide the number of name and/or product of comprehensive model of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq made thousands of computer models which are all different. Without this information, it can be difficult, even impossible to help you solve your problem.

    Turn on your computer and immediately start typing the appropriate key 'F' to run the hardware diagnostics or system on your computer. Then, run the hard drive test and report the results. If the hard drive has failed or is about to fail, you may need to replace the hard drive. If the hard drive is reported as 'OK', the boot sector, or the hard drive was damaged and the operating system must be repaired or reinstalled.

    You may need to use your HP recovery disks to solve each problem above. If you create your personal series of HP, as suggested by HP recovery disks when you configure your computer... you will need to order a series.

    How long have you leave the charge for the iPad? It will take at least 30 minutes on the charger before an iPad with a completely dead battery react. Be sure to use the charger supplied with the iPad, or its equivalent. Do not recharge an iPad by connecting it to a USB port on the computer. After 30 minutes on the charger to reset the iPad. Press and hold the Home button and the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the appliance restarts. You lose no data by doing this. It's like a restart of the computer.

    If the unit still doesn't start not to make an appointment at an Apple store to have a technician look at your device. Or contact the Apple Support.

    Hi cjoyner66,

    Thanks for posting. I'm confused on 6 discs A you're talking about. Windows XP can not hold on 6 floppy disks if that's what you are referring. If the hard disk has been deleted, you will need to use your Windows XP disk and reinstall Windows using this disk and the key associated with this record. If you don't have XP media, you must contact the OEM of your computer or buy an extra copy of the XP.

    Hello

    (1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?

    (2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?

    (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

    (4) is it a Blu - ray disc?

     

    Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
    The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

    If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

  • When I try to read Blu - Ray, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that does not support the player. »

    Original title: Blu - Ray

    My computer can read blu - ray, but when I try to play one, it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that does not support the player. "How should I do?

    Hello
     
    The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray Disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports playback of Blu ray and a device that can play Blu ray discs.

    The unusual thing only that I have in this facility, it is that I "shrunk" the volume existing XP windows C: 228 GB to 150 GB to make room for the new partition W: for windows 7.

    I found the fix - made a bootable disc from the "expandedSetup" directory and booted from the disc. Look for the startup disk process in the solution of this tread

    I burned an avi file which was a movie to a blank dvd but therfe was no audio recorded.  What has gone wrong?

    ====================================
    There are several types of AVI files, and they can
    be problematic. Maybe the info would be
    be interesting reading... good luck.

    If you want to just put your video on a DVD for
    for archival purposes, you would create a data DVD.

    See the following article:

    Windows 7 - burn a CD or DVD in Windows Explorer
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-CD-or-DVD-in-Windows-Explorer
    (See "to burn a disc using the ISO image format")

    To create a video DVD (which will play in)
    a free-standing DVD player)... you need DVD
    Software authoring as Windows DVD Maker.

    See the following articles:

    Windows 7 - burn a video DVD with Windows DVD Maker disc
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/burn-a-DVD-video-disc-with-Windows-DVD-Maker

    If you still have problems, the AVI may need to
    be converted to WMV format before burning.

    There are to many converters available on the net...
    some free, some details... the following freeware is
    just an example:

    (Windows XP / Vista / 7)
    (* Read * all * the installation screens... it)
    may be a few items you want to unmark *)

    When you have installed Freemake... Open Freemake
    and drag and drop your video files on the main screen.

    Or... Click left on the video button and navigate to the
    your video files are saved in the folder.

    Select (highlight) the files you want to import into
    Freemake and left, click on the button 'open '.

    When video files are imported into Freemake,
    On the left, click the WMV icon at the bottom of the screen.

    The 'WMV output settings' screen opens.

    Choose a folder ' save in ', so you can find the
    converted files.

    On the left, click the "Convert" button and wait for the files
    to convert.

    That should do it...

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.
