• Adding space with bigger hard drives with 3WARE 9650SE RAID

  My original installation of Windows 7 is on a RAID 10 set up using 4 640 GB drives on a 3Ware 9650SE RAID card.  I replaced the drives one at a time with 1 TB drives, leaving reconstruction table each time before adding another.   Now that all 4 are in place, I would have a little less than 2 TB of space, but it does not appear.  Win7 is installed on a 200 GB partition, with the rest of the disk space showing that GB 972 yet (that I use for file storage).   Any thoughts on how to extend this option to use all the available space under the name more storage RAID 2?  I does not appear under management of the reader and does not help the 3DM 2 with resizing tool.  This has worked well for the RAID migration when on the SATAs motherboard, but it's another controller.   I would prefer not to have to reload Windows to use the extra space.

• 4.0, ESXi and 3Ware 9650SE Raid 10 array - now what?

  Hello-

  I installed ESXi 4.0 on a new server with the above mentioned RAID 10 array and that you have installed vSphere Client on a separate computer. Under storage cards, I see the following:

  ICH10 2 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba1 block SCSI

  vmhba34 block SCSI

  ICH10 4 port SATA IDE Controller

  vmhba0 block SCSI

  vmhba33 block SCSI

  iSCSI Software adapter

  iSCI adapter software iSCSI

  Mobo is a supermicro X8DAH + controller 3Ware is a 9650SE SATA 8LPML (8 ports) with 4 disks preconfigure RAID 10

  How can I get ESXi to see table so I can start installing VM?

  Yes, this link seems to have enough detailed instructions on how to install the specific driver under ESX and ESXi.

  When I run Setup ESXi 4.0 DVD, there no option anywhere to load additional drivers?

  According to the article, your RAID device can only serve as secondary storage under ESXi.    If this is the case, I would be first to install ESXi to a small local SATA or USB.  After the initial installation, you can then follow the instructions in the article linked to download/install the driver for your RAID controller.  Then you can use your RAID array to store your guests on.

• 3ware 9650SE - unsupported ESXi 6?

  What information I can understand, the RAID "3ware 9650SE" card is not supported in ESXi 6.

  Does anyone know if this is correct?

  Anyone know if it will be supported or if this map is obsolete for ESXi 6?

  Thanks in advance

  According to the VMware HCL, 3ware 9650SE has not been supported into something more recent than ESXi 5.1 U3

• ESXi 5.1u1 + 3ware 9650SE on Haswell

  Hello

  I am currently in the middle of a hardware upgrade for my home machine ESXi 5.1 (u1), which I use for testing and training to certifications (microsoft, for the most part)

  The specifications of the machine are:

  CPU: Intel Core i5 4670 (Haswell)

  Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H

  MEM: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C10D3B1K2 / 16G

  Bootdisk: Western Digital Raptor WD740ADFD, 73 GB

  VMstorage: Samsung Spinpoint F1 HD753LJ, 750GB (<-will be removed when this issue is resolved)

  I could Pick-up a LSI/3Ware 9650SE-8LPML + 4 Western Digital WD20EARS Green 2 TB for a good price to add a few additional entries into the mix.

  The controller is installed correctly, creates a RAID 10 volume using the bios interface of the card. Install the official driver under VmWare for it, but it's not appear under the storage devices, but the driver is listed. When I connect to the machine via ssh and run the lspci command I can see reconigzes the controller and it addresses even with an id:

  00:03:00.0 mass storage controller: 3ware 9650SE SATA - II RAID PCIe Inc. <-without driver loaded

  00:03:00.0 controller of mass storge: 3ware 9650SE 3ware 9650SE [vmhba1] <-with driver loaded

  When I manually try to add the device to the storagelist, I get the error of places:

  ~ # esxcli storage base adapter new analysis - adapter vmhba1

  Invalid adapter specified or cannot get the adapter "vmhba1.

  The devices works perfectly under Windows 7 and Linux on the same machine, but VmWare is still a problem. I also tried affecting internally (Lynx) sata ports in AHCI mode IDE, since ESXi for thos as a raid controller aswell, but it makes no difference.

  Other people have had success with the creation of an iso cutom with the preloaded driver, but this did work ' t either. Others had success with ESXi 5.0, but this version does not recognize the controller integrated (for startup disk) or the 3ware. A customized version of ESXi, LSI itself had the same problem.

  I am disappointed that even though this controller is on the HCL, it always gives me a hard time installing it. and I need to spend with my certification.

  PS: Both the motherboard and the map are the latest versions of firmware (I even tried a few old FW)

  Don't know if this will help, but I downloaded the latest aacraid driver (VMware ESXi 5.5 driver for RAID SAS of PMC - Sierra scsi-aacraid controller) of the vmware download area and who charge along side the LSI driver worked for me. This leaves my ESXi 5.5 detects the card - don't know if it was the plasebo effect.

  Hardware/software related:

  -LSI 9650SE - 12ML

  -5.5 ESXi

  Looks like you already have the card detected then gives the Adaptive driver a whirl.

  N.B: I think the installation is the same for this, just extract the zip offline_bundle zip or I think the vib file will work. Alternatively, you can load the driver using the customizer of ESXi, for my installation, I installed the Realtek driver aacraid drivers and driver lsi (in that order - reverse).

• How to use drawFilledPath() to draw several paths

  Hello

  I am able to draw several paths using the drawPathOutline(), but the same code for the drawFilledPath() throws the exception with invalid arguments. My code below.

  Bitmap img1 = new Bitmap (500,500);
  Graphics gt = Graphics.create (img1);
              
  int [] xpts = new int [10];
  int [] ypts = new int [10];
  Ptypes = new ubyte [] byte [10];
  int offset [] = new int [4];
              
  xpts [0] = 50;
  ypts [0] = 100;
  xpts [1] = 150;
  ypts [1] = 100;
  xpts [2] = 150;
  ypts [2] = 200;
  xpts [3] = 50;
  ypts [3] = 200;
  xpts [4] = 0;
  ypts [4] = 0;
              
  xpts [5] = 70;
  ypts [5] = 130;
  xpts [6] = 120;
  ypts [6] = 130;
  xpts [7] = 120;
  ypts [7] = 170;
  xpts [8] = 70;
  ypts [8] = 170;
  xpts [9] = 0;
  ypts [9] = 0;
      
  position [0] = 0;
  Offset [1] = 4;
  by offset [2] = 5;
  offset [3] = 9;
              
  gt.setColor (net.rim.device.api.ui.Color.BLACK);
              
  gt.drawPathOutline (xpts ypts, null, offset, true);
  gt.drawFilledPath (xpts, ypts, null, offset);
              
  gt.drawRect (5, 5, 190, 190);
  gt.drawRect (5, 5, 10, 10);
  gt.drawRect (20, 20, 40, 40);
              
  PNGEncodedImage pngEncImg = PNGEncodedImage.encode (img1);

  If you see the commented drawPathOutline draws the i.e two channels, 0 to 3 & 5 to 8 are drawn correctly. However, when it comes to drawFilledPath(), it throws exception saying invalid arguments. I tried different ways to define the offset, but of no use. It works fine when I used the null value for offset, but what attracts as a single path which is not what I want.

  Some how the Blackberry SDK document gives the impressino which he must start and end offset for each path in the case of multi path scenario. However, we need only three shifts for two channels

  That is to say

  shift at the beginning of the first path

  lag at the end & beginning of second road

  offset to end second path

  In the above example we don't need (0,0) coordinate between the paths, so points can be

  int [] xpts = new int [8];
  int [] ypts = new int [8];
  Ptypes = new ubyte [] byte [8];
  int offset [] = new int [3];

  Path 1
  xpts [0] = 50;
  ypts [0] = 100;
  xpts [1] = 150;
  ypts [1] = 100;
  xpts [2] = 150;
  ypts [2] = 200;
  xpts [3] = 50;
  ypts [3] = 200;

  Path 2

  xpts [4] = 70;
  ypts [4] = 130;
  xpts [5] = 120;
  ypts [5] = 130;
  xpts [6] = 120;
  ypts [6] = 170;
  xpts [7] = 70;
  ypts [7] = 170;

  offsets
  position [0] = 0;
  Offset [1] = 4;
  by offset [2] = 8;

  gt.setColor (net.rim.device.api.ui.Color.BLACK);
              
  gt.drawPathOutline (xpts ypts, null, offset, true);
  gt.drawFilledPath (xpts, ypts, null, offset);

  This time drawPathOutline & drawFilledPath works very well.

• Slow 3ware SATA RAID 9690

  Here's a strange.

  System Specs: ESXi 4.1 with updated oem.tgz for drivers of 3ware, Biostar TA890FXE, AMD Phenom II Black 3.2 ghz, 16 GB RAM, 3ware 9690SA-4i (with battery), Intel 1000GT, boot USB Flash 4 GB disk

  I have two data warehouses using the same 1 TB SATA Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB disks:
  (A) 3ware 9690 RAID-5, 4 discs, total capacity of 2.73 tb (2 to & Go 730 Lun, images of comments, primary storage)
  (B) SATA AHCI, 2 disks total capacity 1.81 to (2 x 900 ~ to ISO and random storage Lun)

  When the copy of the RAID to the standard SATA drives, it is doomed fast. But SATA in RAID, the speed is ridiculously slow. It seems to take easily 10 x as much time or more when copying very large files.

  I noticed when I went to copy all my files and images of comments to a data store while I reformatted with a larger block size. Then the copy to roughly 400 GB from A to B, it took less than an hour, perhaps as little as 30 minutes. New B in A, it took 6 hours when I dropped.

  In addition, I have a little bit of reference tool called Parkdale who made drive simple comparative analysis in Windows and have some real numbers to go with my comments in ESXi.

  Option A with SATA RAID = 2.6 MB/s write, 73.7 MB/s reading (Win Server 2003)
  Option B with SATA AHCI = 111.1 MB/s write, 108.1 MB/s Read (Win Server 2000)

  There is certainly something weird here. Any ideas on how to test, what to look for, or what could be the problem?

  You may need to activate the write cache. It wouldn't be activated without the battery. Some controllers to activate the cache because soon the battery is attached and responsible, but not all.

• ESXi 4 3ware 9650se adapter missing after restart

  I'm under esxi 4 with a 3ware 9650se adapter. It was great to work for a few months, but today I couldn't connect to the server by using the vsphere client but could ping on the server so I restarted it. After the reboot the 3ware adapter and the volumes are missing. Is it possible to check the State in esxi do I need to reinstall the drivers?

  If you go to the/usr/lib/vmware/vmkmod of driving record / you see the pilot 3ware that there are listed?  If not I would reapply the bundle offline as described here - https://www.3ware.com/3warekb/article.aspx?id=15548.  If it is there, check the logs for any errors related to the driver.

• TD230 embedded RAID, several bays?

  I use the controller RAID LSI embedded on board is equipped of connectors for 4 hard drives. I initially configured this server with a RAID1 mirror consisting of 2 hard drives, the operating system installed and put into production. Now the customer needs have changed, and I need to increase the storage capacity. My intention was to add two additional hard drives and configure a second RAID1 mirror. However, I found the MegaRaid management will allow only two new disks be of"relief" and does not allow me to create a second table. I tried to use the easy boot CD, so level Bios Manager, but both do not allow me to add another table, without destroing the original array. Who came across this and found a work around? Maybe a different Manager can be used? I would like to avoid unexpected additional costs of the addition of the 9240-8i controller card, but looks like I have to.

  Thanks in advance.

  You're limited with the integrated controller and will need to buy the 9240-8i for several berries.

• merge several paths?

  It's an ArtBrush, I know, it is difficult to see what it is that it is selected.  The reason is, I hope someone can tell me how I can do this in a single object, eliminating all the lines as if it was drawn with the pencil tool?

  I tried grouping, then flatten, but did not what I was hoping.

  

  That sounds like a huge amount of paths!

  (you can check that by going to window > Document Info and select the objects)

  If the unit does not (maybe it's already United) I would like to trace this.

  Select the object and choose object > rasterize

  Resolution: High (300 ppi or higher)

  Trace picture with in the advanced options: ignore white.

  Expand, clean up and drag it to the Panel forms.

• Export of several paths to Ily

  I have a puzzle in the PS that is created with multiple paths (1 for each room). Is it possible that ALL the railroads can be exported to there as a group? I can export one at a time, but it's a nuisance.

  Thank you.

  Hi peterpica,

  Please select file > Export > traces to Illustrator.

  Select all the paths during the export.

  Hope that helps.

• Export of several paths from photoshop to several illustrator files

  Hello

  I have a task that I often repeat, and I know that there should be a way to write a script for the same photoshop thing. But my level of technology in scripts is zero and I was hoping that someone could help me?

  Background: I am an artist and convert image Posterization files paths to feed a laser CNC cutter. The image is broken down into separate layers (which are glued on paper), and each layer is converted to describe paths (which needs to be cut by the machine). for each image that I do there are about 3-8 paths that I create, each the name of a particular name. Then I manually export each path one to an illustrator file (export > traces to Illustrator), the files are named with a prefix_ < the path name >.

  Sometimes one large image is made upwards of 25 small sections (each section is a separate photoshop file) each with 3-8 paths and it's all of them adds up to a lot of manual work each time.

  is it possible to write a script that will export each individual path from phtoshop file to an illustrator file separated with the name prefix_ < path name > in a given directory (or on the desktop if that is too complicated a foler)?

  I searched the web but have not found a result that meets this particular need. And as I mentioned my knowledge scripts is not good enough to create/change myself.

  Thanks in advance...

  Avinash,

  I think Photoshop is not the best tool for your job. I would use Adobe Illustrator,

  Vectorization or Trace of Image (since CS6).

  The vectorization of a raster image is entirely under control many parameters. Export to EPS

  CV = curveto (Bezier curve)

  CP = closepath

  CMYK color =

  EF = eofill (fill mode)

  Occasionally, for straight lines:

  Li = lineto

  Ignoring the color and fill mode, it should be 'simple' extract the Bézier path information.

  Why is it necessary to separate all these paths in single files?

  Laser cutting can be controlled for all the work in a stream, because button

  and closepath do not correspond to the "move without cutting" and "end of cut this way.

  Of course I am lack of knowledge of your actual task. Please consider my contribution

  as a suggestion for an alternative.

• How to reach several paths for the corners are smooth?

  I'm doing some isometric letters, but I'm not sure that the best way is to go all by ensuring that the corners do not have it:

  

  
  I guess it's something to do with the compound forms or the pathfinder, but I was not able to do anything that sets...

  any suggestions on the best way to go about it are welcome, I don't mind from scratch, if necessary.

  Use round caps, joins. Check the continuous paths (joined) where you want the sharp corners.

• Type in objects/paths but also several paths in the object/path etc.

  Hi all

  I would ask what seems like a basic question, but have difficultyin trying to figure out my own to solve.

  Here's my situation.

  I said for example a graphic form of a ring and a donut looks like a circle with a circle inside it.

  I know that you can fill the whole donut so that it was a circle with text/type.

  But say if I have a shape of a ring and the central circle was added later, if you have a set, I want to have the text do not go through the hole, but next to it and then continue on the other side, from left to right.

  With what I do I have someone standing hands on hips, I have three items separated, the outline of the whole person and the hole between the body of people's arms, the left and right, but every time that I add text, he goes through the holes, I don't want to line-by-line crossing horizontally to fill the body of people , but I don't know how!

  I hope this make sense, I tried to search for tutorials but couldn't find something that fits what I'm trying to do, so I thought to come here, someone has an idea how to do what I ask?

  
  Also, I tried all the combinations with the pathfinder, trying to join, cut, unite, intersect etc but don't find the right combination!

  If any enthusiast of the Illustrator could help, it would be much appreciated, im works with illustrator cs4.

  Thank you!

  It's the very simple thing to do

  the offset is a judgment not any specific amount.

  the paths are drawn closed, yes a form.

• the addition of several paths in a compound path

  If I use the GUI to add multiple paths in a compound path, all I have to do is select multiple paths and choose object-> compound path-> order manufacture (or ctrl-8). When I do that, then the path of the bottom that is filled has holes "through" creating a window in the form of small roads that were on top again. For example, a large rectangle with a white fill color is the background element and two smaller paths are on top. I have create a compound path and everything that is below the new compound path is reflected in most previous form two small paths.

  If I use JavaScript and create a new compoundPathItem and move 3 trails, with the largest being first, then I get a compound path, but only the first small objects creates a transparent space.

  Here's a simplified example:

  var grpMask = doc.groupItems ['mask group'];
  
  var compound = grpMask.compoundPathItems.add ();
  var pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['bigbox ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);
  pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['PathLeft ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);

  
  pathobj = grpMask.pathItems ['PathRight ""];
  pathobj. Move (Compound, ElementPlacement.Inside);

  In the example above, the "bigbox" has left and right channels above it, but only the left path creates a transparent space in the original box.

  I also tried to use PLACEATEND instead of INSIDE and the two smaller paths and move the group to the compound path.

  Merging the elements of path won't work - I want to keep the original path closed and intact without drawing a line between them so I can't simply add their pathpoints.

  Is move() the best way to add existing paths to a new path

  Thank you!

  I'm not sure,

  Take a look at polarity and/or evenodd propertys of pathItems inside the compoundpath.

  Maybe there is a difference.

  ?
