Install second Equallogic

We currently have running VMware ESXi and have a PS5000E in production with firmware 5.2.4 and have bought a PS6100 to replace (unknown current firmware). We want to use the 5000 in the future as a replication partner. What is the best method to move all the data to the new SAN and remove the old SAN and not incurring any downtime? And is there something that needs to be done on the side of VMware?

More than likely that the firmware of the new unit will be v6.x.x.

If you are wanting to do asynchronous replication steps.

The best way to accomplish the migration without interruption would be adding the new PS6100 management group (and storage pool) is the PS500E and allow distributed volumes on the two members.  Then remove the PS5000E in the Group (under the Group - Members tab) and the system will automatically remove the remaining data to the PS6100.  Once that has completed the PS5000E is ready to be reconfigured (the existing configuration is deleted under the deletion) in a new group and set it as the replication partner.

The only thing you need to do on the side of VMware in this scenario would be to add the second group to you the initiator iSCSI (under the dynamic discovery tab) so it's ready if you need to connect to a replicated volume.

If you are wanting to do rep synch follow these steps.

The best way to accomplish the migration without interruption would be adding the new PS6100 management group (and storage pool) is the PS500E and allow distributed volumes on the two members.  Then, create a new storage pool and move the top PS5000E, all remaining data will be evacuated to the PS6100.

    You can install it on another machine the same way that you install on the first machine.  If you need to download to do this, you should have a link available on your Adobe account online.  If you are unable to find such a link, you can always download the trial version from the Acrobat (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro.html) product page and use your serial number to activate to use fully.

    If there is another problem that prevents you from know how to install it, you need to explain what the problem is.

    He said: some models.

    Thanks for the info

    You can't find the answer very easily.

    Remove the second HDD Bay cover and check if there are a few HARD drive connectors/pins.

    If Yes, then you could install a second HDD.
    If not, you can not use second HARD drive.

  • Install second office jet 6310xi

    I bought a second 6310xi office jet. I have the software for the first printer on my computer now.  Is there a way I can use the 6310 software I don't not to print on the computer of nuw?   How do we install the second printer? I have a Windows XP Professional operating system

    Hello

    Installation of the software is not required for 2nd printer as the printer is already present in the computer.

    In order to print, you must add a printer with a different name.

    Steps to follow:

    Select Printers and faxes > Add printer > select use existing port > port USB virtual to select.

    GOLD:

    USB plug for the second printer to the computer and it should automatically create a new USB port with a different name like Officejet 6310 (copy 1)

    When printing, select the printer port correctly and try printing.

  • PowerEdge T310 - install second disc as raid1 with dell server administration software?

    Hi all

    Quick question - we have a PowerEdge T310 with a disk in it. We want to install a second drive and put them in raid1. Issues related to the:

    1. Can we use software from dell server administrator to do?
    2. This will delete the volume on the current drive.

    In a perfect scenario, we want to just install the second disk, set up in raid 1 and call it a day.

    Thanks for the tips!

    1. Yes.

    2. function:

    If your drive is existing in a single drive RAID 0, so it CAN be converted on the fly to a 2 drive RAID 1.

    If your existing drive is a volume not RAID, she cannot be converted on the fly without loss of data.

    The SAS 6/iR and series S PERC H200 supported RAID and non RAID, so the chances of a disk being a RAID 0 array is extremely low.

    PERC 6 / i and H700 do not support no RAID, for a single disc can only be a RAID 0, so convert to RAID 1 is fine.

  • Moving pictures & catalog newly installed second hard drive

    Hello!

    I just checked file John (http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Move_your_photos_1) on moving files. My friend, a non-technical guy right, had a second drive installed on his computer. So far there has been a single physical disk with logical drives C: and D:. All of his pictures are sitting on the D: drive and there is nothing else on this drive.

    I am sustains it remotely in Vancouver, British Colombia, Austria (with logmein.com).

    The new drive, 500 GB, is formatted and the installation chap he gave her the letter j:

    My questions:

    (1) I change the drive letter to say X:, change the letter of the new drive and then create a disc copy of X: to D: will this work?

    (2) have the my friend to do a normal backup on his external USB drive and then do a restore with 'Restore to the location of the original file' to the new drive J: and it now uses the J: drive. Check the preferences are set correctly.

    (3) just move with the Organizer all the files to the new drive J:, leaving the catalog on the D: drive.

    (4) other good ideas? My friend has about 9 000 images on file, probably quite a few disconnected ones.

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Alexander

    (Waiting for October 9 and PSE 8 as advertised on Amazon. John you soon will certainly be another long list of items to add to your index! GIROU!)

    Alexander,

    Using view > display folder location to move the photo folders is the easiest way to move photos to a new disk, as described in the FAQ you referenced:

    http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-FAQ.htm#_Move_your_photos

    The question remains what to do with the catalog file:

    1 - is on the C drive (where he usually resides) or D drive?

    2 if it is on the C drive, there is no harm to leave it there - it uses relatively little space.

    3. If it is on the D drive, and that your friend is not afraid to leave it there, then leave it there.

    4. If your friend really wants to move the disk D (if it can release this drive and use a tool for partitioning to merge back in C D), so he will need to move the catalog folder:

    a. If it's on the PSE 7, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

    (b) if he is on PSE 6, and there not all projects (e.g., slide shows) or files on DVD/CD, it can pass safely the catalog file by using the file > catalog > move.

    c. otherwise, we need to use the backup/restore method (rather than the display > display folder location) for the catalog folder installs as well as photos on J drive.

  • Tecra S5 - install second operating system using virtualization

    Hi guys,.
    can you help me with installing OpenSuse 11 on my Tecra S5 T7700.

    I put virtualization in the Bios already, but I have no idea what I should do next.

    Thanks for help.
    Michal

    Hello Michal,

    Now, you will need a virtualization program. I use VMware workstation for this and I am very happy with it, because it gives me a lot of options to configure my virtual machines in almost all of the details I need.

    I'm doing this for business sometimes, because it now becomes a major role in most companies. But, should I shorten my private a little ;) stuff

    Thus, you can use, but you will have to buy it, or another alternative is the Sun's VirtualBox freeware. Just type in google, you will find the right site.

    Also tested and got BACK 7.0 too work very fast and WinXP, but never have tried for Linux or other OS, but they try anyway.
    The negative aspect of this tool is, you don't have much opportunity to set options, but for a test, it's good.

    One of these programs and then follow guides content with programs. Not really difficult to get Linux installed. You must configure a virtual machine and it behaves like real hardware and after, that the installation is almost as easy as with actual devices.

    Go and try.

    The search for your quick response

    Hello

    I think the case is clear your phone isn't designed for a second HDD if you don t have a second HARD drive connector in the second HARD drive Bay.

    The point is that some laptops A200 are designed for a second HDD and so not all models have a second connector but all a second HDD bay.
    As I see in your pictures that you don t have a second connector HARD drive and laptop can use a second HDD.

  • Satellite P300D install second hard drive location

    I own a P300D, it has 1 location where sits the preinstalled hard drive and an another just like it the other side. but the plastic cover of the second slot has a bunch of plastic columns that block the slot if the plastic cover is used to close the slot.

    How we're supposed to fit a second hdd in there?
    Am I expected to by an another plastic cover?

    where can I get the metal frame to keep the hard drive correctly?
    The exact product names would be nice :)

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, not all Satellite P300 models can be upgraded with a second HDD.
    Even if the second HARD drive Bay is available, you will not be able to insert a second HDD if the HDD connectors are missing.

    To verify if the connectors are available for this
