Can I extend my MD1200 RAID6 configuration?

Hi all

I have a PERC H800 and MD1200 RAID6 would be on a PE on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 2970.  Currently I have 8 disks SAS of 2 TB, but 4 locations open and would like to extend.  Is it as simple as the addition of 4 disks? After saving the data, of course...  Any help appreciated.

You will need to do is install Open Server to manage the server administrator. Which may require a reboot. Then put the new HDD and inside the OMSA you can go to the virtual disk and select this option to reconfigure. It will allow you to select the new drives to add to the VFD. Once this process is complete, you will need to use a utility such as diskpart to actually extend partition on windows. Also, as you mentioned, it is essential to ensure that you make a backup prior to this process, just to be sure. Please let me know if you have other questions I would be happy to help you.

  • Mode Dual monitor: can I extend the main display from right to left?

    I have a Setup dual monitor with

    Main screen with desktop computer: Dell S42092

    Secondary display: Inspiron notebook.

    Is there a way to extend from left to right?  I wish I had my secondary screen (laptop) positioned on my left, not the right, which seems to be the only way that the configuration of the resolution of the screen allows you to do.  I currently configured as

    Display (2) Dell s24092

    Several screens: extend these screens (this allows me to drag from left to right, which is not intuitive if the laptop is on the right.

    If I can't do it with this configuration, this work with another monitor, type?

    Trudy-o

    My OS is Windows 7, but I've been to the screen "Changes the appearance of your poster" you describe.

    It identifies the laptop as monitor 1 and the S24092 Dell Monitor 2. It allows me to do 1 or 2, my main screen, but it does allow me to pass the identity of 1 and 2.   Therefore, any screen is my main screen, management of drag forces me out of the side right of the main screen (the great Dell) before entering the screen of the computer, which I turned to the left.  I am left handed and I smile with my left hand, and I'd rather have my secondary monitor to my left.  Is it makes sense?

    The identity is to tell you, visually, that is, whose number has no significance. The computer screen will always be 1 and the outside will be always high because you can not disconnect and because it will be the first computer find at boot.

    To put secondary (2) on the other side, press the image of monitors, monitor 2 drag it to the other side of the #1 and press apply then / adjust displays are flashing and if he succeeds, it will appear a window with a 15 seconds timer to reset the display if no one pressed the Yes button.

    Basically, you want to match the image with your configuration.

    I'm left-handed too, but use the mouse with your right hand. and I have a laptop with Vista and an external monitor (primary) to the left of the laptop.

  • Can I extend 2 networks with an airport express

    So if I have a router dual-band simultaneou to address AirPort Extreme and an airport express base station simultaneous dual-band, can I extend the two netwoks with just an Airport Express or do I have two?

    When you lay it wireless, the link will only exist on a single Strip... but the Express will use the two bands to connect clients.

    If you want to force connections to 5 GHz then you will normally need to use two extensions... for 2.4 ghz and 5 GHz... but I do not recommend this type of installation.

    You should tell us a bit more to understand the issue.

  • How can I disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?

    Is someone can you please tell me how to disable the automatic IP Configuration in Windows 7?  I am happy to change the registry to implement if necessary.

    Why?

    Because my PC sometimes gives an IP address like 169.254.0.1.  This is because Windows has detected that your computer is connected to a network, but the PC has not yet given an IP address by DHCP on the network, so Windows Server the automatic IP Configuration comes in and gives the PC an IP address that starts with 16.254.

    The reason why that the DHCP server on the network has not given an IP address was because the network is coming a few seconds before the DHCP server comes up, and the automatic IP Configuration Windows comes too quickly.

    Of course, once the PC has an IP starting 169.254, he cannot communicate with my router that has an IP address that starts with 192.168.  The only cure, outside re-booting, is to issue the ipconfig/renew command to obtain an IP address from the router DHCP server.

    If I can turn off the automatic IP Configuration of Windows (I could disable in XP) then I can avoid this error.

    One option that you have.

    You can set the IP address to a static IP address.

    Reach:
    Beginning
    Control Panel
    Network and Internet
    Network and sharing Center

    Click on connection to the Local network (a separate dialog box opens Local Area Connectin status)
    Click on Properties (opens the dialog)
    Click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
    Click on Properties

    On the general tab, move the radio button to use the following IP address:
    Here you can set the IP address that you want to use the machine.

    Example of Configuration:
    192.168.0.254
    255.255.255.0
    192.168.0.1

    You will need to note the IP DNS addresses you need more.
    If you like you can even use a set of public DNS servers for free. http://www.online-tech-tips.com/cool-websites/free-DNS-server/

    Please note that the sample configuration assumes routers IP is 192.168.0.1, check please. :)

    Good luck

  • Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn"?

    I need to use the 'home' and 'end '. On my ASUS keyboard, these keys must be pushed simulaneouly with the "fn". I have only one arm that is imposible. Can I extend the "sticky key" function key "fn".

    My computer is an ASUS UX31E.

    Hello WarwickZD and warwick1,

    The short answer is no.

    We cannot extend this functionality to the Fn keys.

    In order to get this kind of functionality, you would probably need to investigate the 3rd party software.

  • How can I extend my Windows 7 Enterprise 90 Day Trial version?

    How can I extend my Windows 7 Enterprise 90 Day Trial version?  I can't find anywhere to buy a key for this version.

    You can not, you can try this reset, but after it has expired, you must save and buy the final product or return to your previous version of Windows. Windows 7 Enterprise Edition is a volume license edition only, Microsoft it provides only an assessment because it has parity feature with Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  • So basically I can't extend my 3 TB hard drive 3 TB because windows 8 is the treatment as a MBR. Error [0 x 80042468]

    So basically I can't extend my 3 TB hard drive 3 TB because windows 8 is the treatment as a MBR. Error [0 x 80042468]

    Background: after a bit of trouble to install windows 8 on my SSD, I had at one time install on my drive 3 TB of seagate for troubleshooting. Of course, this has reduced the reader to 2 TB for the MBR. I finally solved the problem by changing the mode AHCI instead of IDE interface and installed the OS on my SSD. To my dismay, I could not reclaim the unallocated space.

    I tried to format the drive and delete volumes using disk management, windows 8 installation disc command prompt (you have the option to format and remove the disks and volumes). Basically, I'm stuck. I can't extend the volume. Windows 8 install disc gives me the error [0 x 80042468]

    There is a similar problem but I can't access the answer. (ACCESS DENIED)

    * edit * there is no system of operating on the 3 TB drive, it is completely on the SSD.
