Help me to confirm THAT RAID 5 of my new server is configured correctly. PowerEdge T620, server 2012

I just received my new Dell T620 server today, I ordered it with (4) 2 hard drives in a RAID5 configuration to

I also configured it with a 80 GB operating system partition when I bought it.

He got today and I'm a little confused how his watch hard drives.

I have the 80 GB OS Partition, shows that the c volume which is good.

Then, I have four other volumes...

D: 1.8 to DataPart2
E: 1.8 to DataPart3
F: 57.9 GB DataPart4
G: 1.72TB DataPart1

I know that I can go in 2012 under file and storage server parameters and joining them in a Storage Pool and it must show a letter then, correct?

But, is this the way I need to do this? And how can I confirm that RAID5 is working, so that if one disk fails someday, I can swap just outside like I should be able to.

I just thought that if I ordered the server with 4 disks in a RAID5 configuration and make a 80 GB OS partition, said that when I had the server I have a volume for the operating system and the other to the data.

OK... explanation:

  • Each RAID array/virtual disk that is managed by the RAID controller is presented as another "drive" Windows.
  • Windows cannot use a 'disc' greater than 2 TB, unless it is a GPT disk.
  • Windows cannot START on a GPT disk, except if it is installed on a UEFI system.

By not checking a UEFI/GPT option, it would have been necessary to create virtual disks (at least the boot VD) less than 2 TB so that Windows can use and starts to him (why they did additional smaller VD, I'm not sure).

At this point, you have four options:

1) live with it as is (I personally wouldn't).

(2) will not require reinstalling:

  • Use the 1.8 TB VD0 because the OS 'drive '.
  • Delete 1,2,3 VD
  • Create a large 3.7 GB VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition as necessary or desired separate data

(3), it will have to reinstall:

  • Removal of all VD
  • The switch in the UEFI boot mode
  • Set up a big 6 TB VD0
  • Reinstall Windows on it and partition as needed or desired.

(4), it will have to reinstall or backup/restore:

  • Removal of all VD
  • Leave the startup mode in the BIOS
  • Set up a small 80 GB VD0 to which you will install the operating system
  • Set up a large VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition separate data as needed or desired.

  • Need confirmation that my streaming rtsp for the WVC54GCA settings are correct

    I have therefore recently implemented the WVC54GCA for viewing remotely via internet. I use Verizon DSL Westell Versalink 327W bridge, with the latest firmware (4.4.3) I was able to transmit an alternate HTTP port (1025), which allows the two TCP/UDP to my static IP of cams. I was also able to transfer the RTSP port (554), which allows the two TCP/UDP to my static IP cam. My problem is that my router will not forward any additional ports other than 1025 and 554.

    There is a setting on the camera for RTP data port (ranked from port 5000) and I can't transfer port 5000. I tried to change the setting of the cam to a bunch of different other than 5000 ports (6881, 1024, 1900, etc.), but no matter what I try, no other ports can be opened through my router. It seems to work via routers firmware (i.e., it looks like fixing to 1025 and 554, which advance) but when I check the port using canyouseeme.org or RCMP the port is classified as closed or camouflaged.

    I am able to view the cam of my office at rtsp://camname:554 / xxxxx using Quicktime or Realplayer.  However, neither my phone nore my friends can connect.

    My question, since I can see the flow of mobile streaming outside my local network using Realplayer or Quicktime, is "am I configured correctly for mobile (rtsp) streaming?  What is a cell phone rather than a problem of configuration problem?

    Sorry for the post above, I confirmed that my cam is correctly mobile video streaming.  The video stream has been consulted using a Samsung Omnia and Blackberry Curve.

    I am now home and confirms that, even if I've implemented port 5000 port forwarding, this port is listed as closed via canyouseeme.org.  The power supply works well, so I'm happy.

  • I updated to Firefox 8.01 and confirmed that it is the current version. However, both Google and Firefox do not recognize my current verision - these sites indicate that my version is 3.5.7. Why?

    I've updated (more than once) to Firefox Version 8.01. When I check the Firefox Help: About, it confirms the version number and indicates that it is the current version. Google, however, when I try to use G-Mail or + Google, gives me a message that my version of Firefox is no longer supported (and provides a link to download the current version). In addition, Firefox itself, when I tried to use the help: menu option to submit your comments, indicates that I can't use this option until I first updated to the current version. Apparently, even though I've updated, there are some markers or indicator, which is not updated since a previous version to indicate which version of this browser Web sites is running on my computer. I would like to get this resolved, because it prevents me from doing a few things I want to do. Furthermore, I just watched the dialog below, following the comment "we have made some assumptions about your current browser...". ', also indicates that my current version is the 3.5.7.

  • Windows XP Professional said that he has failed the Windows Genuine Advantage test. But I called the Windows Activation and the officer confirmed that my product key is genuine. How can I make Windows genuine?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows XP Professional. I installed and activated Windows XP while I had an Internet connection. This went well. I then download Microsoft Security Essentials, who then informed me that my copy of Windows is maybe not authentic. Confused, I downloaded the WGA tool, who confirmed that my Windows XP was not authentic.

    The Microsoft product activation call and reading my product to a CSR key, he confirmed that the key was official and I have to contact Technical Support. But Tech Support costs a bit of money, and I'm only 15 years to be honest (Yes, I have a bit of technical knowledge).
    My question is this: is it possible that I can make genuine Windows? This problem is getting boring now. I tried to reinstall Windows XP and re - enter the product key (I tried an online activation and a phone).
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to confirm that an email has been received?

    See above the title

    Which differs between applications of e-mail, but even those who, such as Outlook, that have tracking options do not always get confirmation.  This is because many servers stop sent necessary receipts as soon as they will not help the malware by confirming that an email address is authentic.

    So the answer is - you can not do this reliable unless you get a response from the recipient or if you call to ask directly.

    To view this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (for example, a search or order confirmation) that was carried out earlier. Then I have to click on return or cancel. Then I have to click on return or cancel.

    How can I fix this automatically return?
    Please let me know!

    It is not possible.

    Do you use the back button to return to a previous page?

    You receive an alert to send POST data if you return to a page or refresh a page that was requested in advance from the server by submitting form via a (hidden) MESSAGE form data.
    Firefox can only make sure to get the same page send this POST form.
    Firefox doesn't know what it means shape data, so Firefox asks for confirmation before sending the form data so action can you take to repeat an action and buy another article or post a message once.
    One way to prevent this pop-up on the removal of the POST data is not to use the back button, but to open the links on a page that is requested from a server by sending a form with the date of the POST in a new tab (window) with a middle click or hold down the CTRL key and click the link.
    Then you can close the tab or window to go back.

  • Confirm that the language packs are useless for English

    My Linux distro came with Firefox ESR and pre-installed language packs (also Thunderbird and language packs). There are two entrances of package in the software for each of these applications Manager: the main program and the language packs, which indicates that all the languages in the language packs are installed/removed as a single unit. The online description indicates the language packs are used for 'other languages '. It does not say that the 'standard' language exists or if all languages require some language pack. I use English. Before you uninstall the language packs for both products, I want to confirm that they are not necessary for English. Thank you.

    Thank you.

If I click on the update notice, "connecting" message comes on to always without completing the connection to the update server.

  • Can anyone confirm that a square-end 85w can be used in a 13 "MacBookPro 2012? I hate 60w L-shaped connector.

    Can anyone confirm that square-end 85w, for example as expected with MacBook Air, a connector can be used for a MacBookPro 13 "beginning 2012? I hate the 60w L-shape connector which was published with this laptop. Power cable from my previous small white MacBook had the square-end connector and it worked GREAT. The L one shape is difficult to reach, and it does NOT have quick disconnects if someone tripping over the power cord. Thank you.

    The version of Magsafe backward compatibility rather than another, is documented;

    However for the moment, I have not access to an old bookmark on this aspect.

    A problem with some MacBook Air power adapters is that they lack power for use

    with the other big power demanding models. Start/MacBookAir used power 45W.

    Examples of magsafe power adapters:

    • Find the right adapter cord for your laptop Mac - Apple Support and sector

    I used a newer MagSafe2 with old computer equipped with MagSafe original ports.

    Don't know why, but any form adapter is needed to make it work. It's a square-edged 85w.

    Good luck in this case!
