B200 M4 SAN Boot with attached local disk

Hello

I have a B200 M4 blade want to do boot SAN in the storage Bay. The blade has a local disk. I need maintain disk local and would like to bypass for the start of SAN. When I set up a 'political Local Disk Configuration' using 'No Local Storage"as shown in the screenshot, and when I associate the blade with a service profile, got the error:"server does not meet the requirements of local drive of the service profile". I did some research and tried a BIOS policy that can disable the SAS RAID config, but it did not work, still getting the same error. See the screenshot of error and politics of BIOS. Advice to solve this problem?

I use UCSM 2.2 (3f).

Appreciate the pointers.

Thank you

Braven

If you just want to bypass the drive during startup, just don't include in your startup strategy.

No need to disable the onboard RAID controller.

    > Satellite Pro L40 - how to make a dual boot with two recovery disks?
    Short answer: you can't do that. Maybe if you have two hard disks (I tried didn't) but as much as I know your SP L40 has only one.
    Ask this smart guy, how to do this. Maybe it's a useful tip.

  • SAN starts a B200M2 with local disk

    I have a B200M2 with two local disks in it.  Currently, I'm SAN all my startup B200M2.  If I had a few drafts to the blade, but I didn't so I go in, I'd take the local drive.  Service profile, I configure to configure my blades has the boot order using a start-up strategy that starts from SAN.  It works without problem.  I also use a local disk Configuration strategy that has no local storage.  If this model of service profile will not work with the B200M2 that has a disk in it.  So, I cloned the templace of service profile and just change the policy Configuration of Local disk to any selected item.  Can I deploy the blade properly with this model of service profile, but I get an error of blade saying 1 Local disk on the operability of the server 1/1: inoperable and Local Disk 2 on the operability of the server 1/1: inoperable.

    How can I get rid of this error?  What am I not wrong which causes this error?

  • UCS Central - model of political profile of Global Service with Local SAN Boot

    Hello

    I created a profile Service Global UCS central template to create the ESX Service profile for servers 5 different area of UCS.

    The majority of addresses is assigned in the world i.e. addresses MAC, UUID, etc with the exception of the WWPN where local teams of SAN want to pre-configure the zoning for a defined block of addresses WWPN.

    I intend to use the ID range Qualification policy to assign a block of addresses WWPN to a specific area of UCS, but my main concern is around the creation of Boot SAN policy. As we intend to use the same model of Service Global profile for 5 different areas SAN Boot targets will have to be different.

    Any way to locate startup SAN strategy so I can have only one UCS Global local SAN Boot targets?

    Thank you very much, Paul

    Hi Paul,.

    What you're looking for, it's what we call a 'Boot target Alias', that should work much in the same way that VLAN alias work with UCS 1.1 Central.     Made senior level policy reference to the 'alias', but the actual link (some VLAN or target of Boot or...) will be specific field/DomainGroup and will not be resolved until the SP is associated with a session on a given field.     In the case of prime targets, this would allow for the same Global SP model to be used in several DomainGroups, while the actual target of Boot will vary according to the individual DomainGroup.

    Unfortunately, this feature is not in UCS 1.1 Central.   We have it on the list of features 'high priority' to point 1.2.

    The only 'solution' is to use several global models of the SP, whose name and attributes reflect the underlying objective of SAN-Boot - even if this creates models of N * M (N = # Gech/s;) M = bays of Boot # SAN).

    Hope this helps to enlighten us.    See you soon,.

    1. what type of drive is D? Is - this another partition on the same disk?

    2 Windows operating system you are using?

    You can change the location of the disk to save the data in the d: instead of C: and check if it helps.

    a. navigate to the location (username) C:\Users\.
    b. right click on the folder that you want to change the location, and then select Properties.
    c. click on the location tab and change the location to D: drive.

    I think its something to with what precedes the day and the Autorun feature.

    Thanks for any information, that everyone has.

    Hello

    It seems to be a virus called protectfile.vbs or autorun.inf.

    Follow the steps below to remove this virus from your computer.


    MoveOnBoot open

    Go to rename Action-> rename file

    A dialog box opens, select the file. Because these files are hidden files, you will not be able to travel and see. Please enter
     
    Enter "C:\protectfile.vbs" in the section of the file selection.
    Enter "C:\protectfile.html" in the section of the destination file. Enter OK.

    Similarly, repeat steps 2 through 4 for the file 'C:\autorun.inf' and rename the in 'C:\autorun.html '.

    Do not restart your computer. We have implemented moveonboot to rename the .vbs ProtectFile in only one of the disks.

    Repeat step 2 to 5 for each disk. For example, if you have 4 drives on your computer (C, D, E, F), then you will have to rename '.vbs C:\protectfile', 'D:\protectfile.vbs', 'E:\protectfile.vbs' and '.vbs F:\protectfile' 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html' and 'F:\protectfile.html' respectively.

     
    Even renaming file "autorun.inf" in all readers for the corresponding ' autorun.html' files.

    Restart your computer. We have disabled the virus.

    Now we will remove it completely.

    Reopen MoveOnBoot.

    Go to delete Actions-> delete the files

    You will not be able to browse and reach the files. Then click Browse and enter 'C:\protectfile.html', 'D:\protectfile.html', 'E:\protectfile.html', 'F:\protectfile.html', 'C:\autorun.html', 'D:\autorun.html', 'E:\autorun.html' and 'F:\autorun.html '.

    Restart your computer.

    The steps above should solve the problem for you.

    Hello

    Assuming the frame belong to the same domain (even pair of fabric for interconnection) and you are using ESXi, try the following:

    1 - Enter the host in maintenance mode (it can be move virtual machines to another server/power them off / take them into so maintenance mode)

    2. cut the blade

    3. ensure that the Service profile does not have a disc of scrub policy so that data is not deleted when the profile Service (SP) is ungrouped

    4 separate the SP

    5 decommissioning of the blade

    6 - Remove the blade and insert the new blade

    7. move the second chassis original blade

    8 - though the blade and an associate of the same/original SP

    9 powers on the blade

    10. take the server out of maintenance mode. as well as virtual machines

    Note: For the blade inserted in the drive, that we released our blade, you can create a new SP and pair with it or you can actually have any MS (including that attributed to the recently released blade) and assign it to the new blade.

    A single SP by sever and that one server per SP.

    SPs are independent from the hardware (as long as the material is compatible with the functions set up by the PS)

  • Faced with the hard disk installer...

    Hey, this is my first post.  I tried the trawling through the various forum posts, and other Web sites and videos however I am having a bit of trouble to the where I want to go regarding them have Windows Home Server up and it works perfectly in ESXi.  I have attached a diagram of installation old as running WHS on my HP Server but I wanted to upgrade to WHS 2011, I had and I thought that it is the best time to try virtualization as well.

    I have a physical machine with 3 hard disks.  1 x 250 GB, 1 x 2 TB and 1 x 100GB.  I intend use the 250 GB HD to install my s VM, IE.  WHS 2011 (already completed and running), Linux, XP etc.  However, what I want to do, is when you are logged in WHS, I want to be able to store all my music, photos, media, etc., on the 2 TB drive and to be able to access them in not only WHS, but other BONES as well.  I've read about RDM however, I get nowhere with her.

    On my old configuration, I also had a few runnign programs that would automatically download episodes of TV series for me and place them on the 100 GB hard drive, which was not part of the pool of storage in WHS.  I would then move them manually in the actions concerned.  Basically, I want to be able to do all this in the virtual environment.

    The scene, I am at this time, is that I have esxi installed with WHS 2011 installed on the hard drive of 250 GB.  I can log on and get the WHS Office ETC.

  • Semi-automatic updates of local disk - how?

    Hello!

    What I want to do should be fairly simple, but I have not found the solution quite yet. What I want is for a machine target - with no internet or slow internet - to be able to pull updates from a locally attached disk, but also the internet.

    At this point, I will say that I don't want to apply updates individually or in a batch. One is laborious, and the other is not selective. Here's how I want the updates to work:

    1. the target machine determines the updates to download / apply. Either he finds this information from the Microsoft Update site or catalog stored locally (wsusscn2.cab) updates.

    2 present updates on the local disk are copied and applied.

    3 not present updates on the local drive are downloaded as usual from Microsoft Update by using the internet connection of the machine.

    -*-

    After some googling I found a script that partially accomplishes my aim here:

    http://msdn.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa387290 (v = vs. 85) .aspx

    Simply, this analysis the wsusscn2.cab file and lists the updates that the machine will have to. It doesn't download or obtain it from a local disk. It is also a script, which is good, but more work I have to learn Windows scripting.

    Another suggested approach running WSUS on a laptop running Windows Server, or even running WSUS on a Windows virtual machine... the two methods seem too complicated for this seemingly simple task. And the two methods require a Windows Server license. Given that this is not intended to be used in the environment domain, but on some PCs to the home user, I'm not like buying Server 2008 ;)

    As I said, I'm sure this must have been done already. I know some 3rd party applications this offline update (now called WSUS offline update) t, for example, but don't wish to not use non-free software from unapproved sources. A MS application would be preferable.

    Thanks in advance for your help :)

  • Volume D: is dirty. Check Disk Local Disk d does not solve the problem

    Whenever I start my computer under WindowsXP SP3, chkdsk runs indicating that the D: Volume is dirty.  He noted no other problems.  I tried to run check disk Local Disk d with two checked options, but it does not solve the probem.  What should I try next?

    That is right.

    First of all, let us look at the ideas of the Microsoft support engineer:

    I would never not follow the suggestion of Microsoft Engineer in method 1.  This idea makes no sense.

    The Microsoft Support Engineer method 2 does not work for you (or most people), unless you have a XP installation CD bootable authentic with the same Service Pack as your installation.  In your case, you would need a true bootable XP with SP3 installation CD and most of the people do not have such an animal.  It is therefore extremely unlikely that will help you at all - and if your file system is damaged or dirty, I of course never suggests that in the first place until your file system is straightened.

    Volumes that contain file system errors is known as "Sales". When a volume is dirty, he has known file system errors, and you must run chkdsk on the volume to repair the problem.

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the on each volume's dirty bit (C, D, E, etc.), and if any volume is dirty, XP will automatically run chkdsk/p on next reboot on the volumes in an attempt to clear the dirty bit.  Which does not clear the bit of impurity or it may take several passes.

    If the volume dirty bit, one is set, this indicates that the file system may be in an inconsistent state. The dirty bit can be set because the volume is online and has some remarkable changes, because changes have been made to the volume and the computer shutdown until the changes have been committed to disk, or because corruption has been detected on the volume. If the dirty bit is set when the computer restarts, chkdsk runs to verify the consistency of the volume.

    Whenever you start a computer that is running one of the Windows XP operating system or the Windows Server 2003 family, autochk.exe is called by the kernel for all volumes to check if the volume dirty bit is set. If the dirty bit is set, autochk performs an immediate chkdsk /f on that volume. Chkdsk /f verifies file system integrity and attempts to fix any problems with the volume.

    A simple power interruption is something that could result in a disc was marked as dirty.  Have you had a power failure these days?

    You can query the dirty bit on a volume from the command prompt window.  Here's how:

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open the command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive D, type:

    fsutil dirty query D:

    The sample output:
    Volume D: is dirty
    Volume D: is not dirty

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    You can not enter any command to clear the dirty bit - only chkdsk /r or chkdsk/p can clear the dirty bit.

    When chkdsk runs automatically restart either because XP thinks he needs to (perhaps your NTFS volume has been marked as dirty) or you decide to schedule the chkdsk with error correction during the next reboot, the results appear in the viewing Application event log.  You should look there for the chkdsk log to see what happened and no problems after running chkdsk.

    To view the logs in Event Viewer, click Start, settings, Control Panel, administrative tools, event viewer.

    A shortcut to the event viewer is to click on start, run and enter in the box:

    %SystemRoot%\system32\eventvwr.msc

    Click OK to launch the event viewer.

    Search the Application log for an event originally by Winlogon, something like:

    Event type: Information
    Event source: Winlogon
    Event category: no
    Event ID: 1001

    The dirty bit fade not until chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p) tracks clean when the system reboots (as in the example) or when you run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console.

    Many times, the best remedy is to just run chkdsk /r from the XP Recovery Console so you can actually see what it does.  Sometimes, this also seems to be the only way to clear the dirty bit and this way you can see what he does.

    Note that you can not also question the bit of impurity of the Recovery Console and you can't turn off the bit of impurity to enter any command.

    If for some reason chkdsk will not erase the dirty, you can simply say XP never check the volume dirty bit, but who will not fix your fault of potentially hard drive, or it could be the drive just need to have chkdsk run on that (sometimes you need to run it more than once) or you will have to think about replacing the drive.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, you can boot into XP from that (even a SP2) Recovery Console CD will work and run chkdsk /r manually from there and repeat until chkdsk /r is clean.

    If you have a genuine XP bootable installation CD, say so and I'll post instructions so you can make a CD of XP Recovery Console and how to run chkdsk from there.   There is no required XP media.

    I wonder why it is that I have never see an engineer Microsoft Support post instructions on how to make a bootable CD of XP (no XP media required) Recovery Console... probably because there is no KB article for them to post.
