• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• ARECA RAID CARD PROBLEMS

  I'm in the middle of my new build system.

  I have problems with an Areca arc-1680 IX 16 Port.

  Basically the card is so slow, I tried several volumes of 2 x hd 10 raid 0, raid 0, raid 30 ect. the most I've gotten is 170 ish mbs. pics from top to bottom.

  I tried with HD Tach and HD Tune.

  Motherboard used:

  ASUS Z8NA-D6

  HD: Samsung hd103sj

  Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  I tried the 8 available only 2 x pci-e slots. makes no difference.

  arec awaiting return to me.

  This is the second card I tested this week. So I have 2 cards that cost £££ and they are useless.

  any suggestions what it might be.

  Baz

  Baz,

  I tend to agree with Scott and Bill it could be the motherboard.

  You know I have the same card controller (12 port one) and I use the older Spinpoint F1, which are a bit slower than the F3 and my HD Tach results like this:

  

  Find it me hard to believe that give two cards this boredom and that is why I think that Scott and Bill are on the right track.

• UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

  Hello

  I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

  I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
  I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
  I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

  When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
  I think that it is a driver problem.
  So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
  I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

  I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

  I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
  I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
  I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
  I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

  I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
  When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

  I test this on two Cisco server.

  I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

  I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

  Thank you very much.

  Stephane,

  For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

  -LSI 92xx

  -LSI 106xE

  -LSI 2008 M

  -INS 3081E-R

  -LSI8708EM2

  -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

  -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

  -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

  Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

  Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

  Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

  You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

  If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

• How to install the driver for a Raid card.

  I hope that this question is of you and yours.

  I have:

  ESXi 4.1 operational on a Dell 1950. He has a basic raid card that works. This is the functioning and VM are stored.

  I installed a 1212 4 Areca Raid port cards. I have attached two Intel SSD's in raid 1.

  My Bios sees both the original and the 1212 raid cards and disks.

  Areca at startup utility says that everything is swell.

  ESXi is unable to see the 1212. I went to the Areca website and downloaded the driver for ESXi 4.X.

  I followed the instructions for all upward using the CLI interface. He begins to apply the patch, but then I thought that a meta.zip file is missing and things are abandoned.

  I went to the site of vmWare and downloaded their solution. Once again using the interface CLI things start to download but then I thought that there was no update occurred or the boot. Nothing to do.

  Here is the link to the drivers of the Areca. The installation instructions are great, but for the meta.zip file.

  FTP://FTP.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/VMware/ESXi_4/

  Any ideas? Thanks for help.

  I had a similar problem with the Areca 1222 (version 8 ports of yours).

  I was able to fix by changing the zip file of Areca. In the folder while offline connection-bundle, you will find some arcmsr ARC - 1.20.00.15.vmk.100202 - offline_bundle - 262812.zip. Inside that zip you will find metadata.zip. Inside of this zip, look for vmware.xml. Modify the file as follows:

  Find the following text:

  You should now be able to install the CLI.

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

• R420 chassis due heating controller raid card

  Hello

  We bought 6 Indian dell servers.

  We are facing a problem of severe heat on top of the chassis above the card raid with all these 6 servers.

  the server configuration

  R420 - hexcore single processor 2.2 ghz, 32 GB ram

  Readers 4 x 600 GB 15000 rpm
  (configured as 2 drives in raid 1 + 2 drives in raid 1)

  These servers are placed in a data center - the temperature is around 18 degrees C

  We are facing a severe heating up on problem of the chasiss just above the raid controller

  When the servers are placed one above the other as they are usually placed in a datacenter of the servers heat up between 50, 4-57 degrees celcius

  Support Dell changed the motherboard, raid card, power supply etc. of one of the above servers which is off-production (heating to 50.4 degrees Celsius), but the problem is not resolved

  Thorough review of the raid controller card, I noted that the fins of the radiator on top of map of raid controller - instead of being parallel to the open air is actually perpendicular to the flow of air and is actually trap heat

  the same card in a r.620 server has the fins of the heatsink in parallel to the air flow which remains cool

  has someone else in this forum has noted this and are facing such a heating problem?

  could you please check this and let me know the resolution of this problem

  the heatsink orientation of 90 degrees so that the fins of the radiator are parallel in the open air?

  Thanks for your help

  the dset report displays normal temperatures since it measures the temperature at the entrance (26-28 degrees C) and the temperature of the cpu (57-62 ° c).

  The server works as expected. There is nothing to fix. This has been reported before, and we investigated it. Our generation servers 12 had a massive overhaul with thermal and acoustic design. For this reason, the chassis can become hot to the touch at the back of the system, but it poses no risk to the system components.

  You can change the default fan control to increase the airflow and reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases, but this will increase the use of sound and electricity. Go to the iDRAC - iDRAC settings > thermal. Change the user Option to compensate for fan speed and set the offset of the fan speed to compensate for high fan speed.

• I can't spend S370 because RAID Firrmware update is necessary, but this is not for my RAID card

  Hi guys.

  When I have never upgraded my Ironport Web Security Appliance for AsyncOS 7.7.0 S370 build 761 upgrade, for example, he said thar RAID Firmware update is needed for this, but if I try to update the firmware, the system told me that this is not for my RAID card

  Regarding issue 1: it could be this new firmware is already installed.

  After running the update of the firmware, the firmware upgrade package appears in the list of available upgrades even after a successful installation. The presence of this package does not indicate a failure of the upgrade.

  To verify that the upgrade is running correctly, you can run the upgrade script again after the machine has restarted. If the upgrade was successful, the upgrade script indicates that the device does not require the upgrade
   
  Regarding your second question: the software upgrade:
  -you have an internet connection for update servers (the upstream proxy settings check maybe..)
  -What is your version of the software running (did you check upgrade)? Maybe you should first upgrade to 753 or some other version...
  -Maybe the reboot will solve the problem?
   

• Promise FastTrak Tx4660 - Raid card

  Hi all

  I try to install esxi 4.1 with a Raid, FastTrak TX4660 card.  I understand that it is not listed under vmware hcl or hcl whitebox.

  I hope to customize Setup and to include the driver for this raid card.  But I'm not a linux guy and I know it's going to difficult for me but I hope to make it.

  Can someone please guide me on how I can include the driver for Tx4660 in esxi or how I can use this raid with esxi card using a different way to install esxi...

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to communities

  I do not think it is a hardware based RAID controller and depends on the software to provide RAID calculations. It would be not supported in ESXi even if you did not have a pilot. If you need RAID then see if you can find a Dell Perc 5 card online. The card is pretty cheap and is supported with ESXi.

• Suggestions for a RAID card

  Header 1

  Currently I have an Adaptec RAID 3405 card, it is about five years old and about two of every three boot-ups, he negotiated one of the disks at half speed, i.e. 1.5Gps. To mitigate the problem, I've done as a "hot spare" HD Having replaced the cable without result maybe it's time to get a new card.  I want to do is get a RAID card allowing five internal hard drives (2 TB) and for future expansion also a SAS /... external connector.  Currently, there are three sets of external drive connected via eSATA and Sil3132 SATALink Controller. Latter is configured through external enclosures in RAID 5 and RAID0 respectively, so there is a single HD via the eSATA port. The system is of recent construction with an i7 950 and 24 GB of RAM. "' 'C' (System) drive is Raptor 10 K rpm WD, the" D "drive is a 1.5 to 7200 RPM, the 'G' disc is consists of four HDs Seagate 2 TB 7200 RPM drive 'I' is a Kingston SSD 128 GB which is used for caching. More combinations of external drive mentioned above.  In addition to change/upgrade the RAID card, I would get a late model SSD to replace my existing 'C' drive and use it to replace the existing "D".  Looking forward to your suggestions. See you soon,. Michael

  HI Mike,.

  We recommend to not to fill readers beyond 65%, depending on the performance degrades quickly at this point (beside SSD)

  I don't know that prejudice will agree.

  Intel Raid RS2BL080

  And then there is this one which is newer RS25DB080, but now you get up in the price of the Areca.

  Best software of management of each of them.

  Atto is the only other that we love.

  Nothing wrong with Areca.

  In all honesty I haven't used a LSI in 2 years and more. At one point they were my fav as comparable to those of other performance

  Even cheaper. We had some problems with them some time ago and stopped using their... also support was easy to get ahold of and well informed.

  Really, I don't know what the problem was with them...

• Qosmio G40-10 s: graphics card problem

  Hello.

  I have a Toshiba Qosmio G40 laptop 10s with a Nvidea 8600 M GT grafixs card. I was playing a game when it locked up and pasted what I would describe as flashing red/green 'Matrixy' search screen.

  He then a blue screen and trys to reeboot.
  He tries to start windows, but once again the top matrix. If it loads to the top, it is in 16 bit color with red dots all over the screen.

  I am sure that the GPU is fried... and I was wondering what I can do? It's been 5 months out of warranty now.

  I read on some forums that there have been a lot of problems with this Nvidea card... Is there anything I can do outside my warranty period with what there is a possibly faulty card in it from the beginning.

  It will cost a lot of money to get it repaired, but its too good a laptop to let go to waste.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  J

  Hello

  You also have these lines on an external monitor?
  If so, there seems to be a graphics card problem and it must be replaced.

  These overheating problems also occur if you use the nVidia display drivers directly. Toshiba drivers are pre-tested and don't overheat your system.

  But I think you need professional help. You should contact an authorized service provider and talk to the technicians. They will help you! :)

• Satellite A300-2 TB-Ethernet network card problem

  Hi all

  I have a laptop Satellite A300-2 CT with Windows XP SP3 for a year. There is a problem in the network ethernet card, I think.

  If I connect my computer to a wireless network, all right. However, if I connect the computer to a wired network via the ethernet card, problems begin.

  A little later after the connection. 'something' is happening and my windows theme changes to "classic", plus none of the applications that uses the beginning of the soundcard NOT working. In addition, the system slows down a lot for all the one or two minutes. When I check running applications during the"slow", I see that deferred procedure calls takes a lot of time processor.

  Problem does not end with this, after that I disconnect the ethernet connection and restart my computer, the application of the wireless (Atheros) adapter takes control of wireless connections, so I can not connect wireless networks I wanted. I have to restart the computer to resolve this problem.

  I've updated the network ethernet card driver, nothing changes.

  In conclusion, I think the network ethernet card has a problem and maybe it is in conflict with other hardware (such as the sound card).

  Y at - it suggestions to solve this problem?

  Thank you.

  Hi alp37,

  I have never heard of this issue, and I think all you can do is update the LAN and the audio driver. The two you can download from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  If it doesn t work I think I think it is a software problem I would recommend reinstalling Windows Toshiba recovery disc. Who can restore the factory settings, and then you can test it again.

  OK have a problem with Windows Vista here. Its pc of my grandmothers, only a year or two. (office) My brother went in safe mode and came back with a restore point. He said it worked, but now, the screen goes black trying to open windows.

  What's happening...
  It starts showing the status of the drives and ram memory and asks me if I want to install through F10 (which works) then it goes to the "Windows was extinguished not correctly." And it gives the offer of
  Safe mode
  Safe mode with networking
  Safe mode with command prompt
  Normal windows startup
  The security mode through the long load upward and then a black screen and an arrow of big white mouse I can move.
  Normal windows opens with the quick bar Windows... then nothing. Just a black screen and a white mouse arrow. Of Cntrl Alt Del does nothing and only thing that makes something happen hit SHIFT 5 times. It causes a beep and a window opens asking if I want to use StickyKeys. Other then that I had nothing.
  I'll try to find a Windows Vista dvd to repair.
  Part of me wonders if it is a screwing display driver. As I said some stuff shows up to save for windows, so it's a small chance, but to think what anyone.

  Hello

  If you start Windows, see a desk white or black with no icons, video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

  Try the following troubleshooting steps:

  Method 1: Access your computer and reinstall your current video driver

  Uninstall your video driver and allow Windows to re - install:

  1. click on start and type device manager in the search box

  2. click on device under Programs Manager

  3. Select the video driver and uninstall

  4 restart your computer to allow Windows to reinstall the driver

  Note: Once the driver is reinstalled, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. In addition, you will also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value.

  Method 3: Start your computer in Mode safe mode and disable your video card

  If activation low resolution and then update your video card driver do not work, perform the following troubleshooting steps to disable your video card driver:

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Note: Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed

  What is system restore?

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/what-is-system-restore

  Note: System Restore affects file system of Windows, programs and registry settings. It can also make changes to scripts, files, batch and other types of executable files created under any user account on your computer. System Restore does not affect personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos, so it cannot help you restore a deleted file. If you have backups of your files, you can restore files from a backup.

  If this still does not have the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

  It will be useful.
