Intel software raid1 data storage for XP 32 and 64 bit.

I'm hoping to multiboot - Win 7 (x 86 x 64) - XP x 32 sp2 pro - pro, XP pro x 64. The operating systems XP and apps will be on a single drive HARD, the Win7 on another HARD disk, (both as stand-alone disks), - and the DATA is stored on a separate table of RAID1 (mirrored).  (2 drives in raid and 2 other disks as standalone).

I've read that xp does not recognize RAID1 but will recognize RAID0. (no server) I'm guessing / hoping that it is referring to disk on which the operating system is installed.

Q: Will XP pro, recognize and access completely separate raid1 ONLY the DATA volume.

Notes; Sectors of 512 bytes of HARD drive format.  RAID1, formatted with win7 offset.  Intel x 58 chipset & ICH10R using RapidStorageTech'ogy. Hardware RAID is not available ££ $$.

Fingers crossed, I look forward to the answer.

No problem with this Commission and the ICH10R chip!  The F6 method is really only necessary if you want to install and start Windows XP on a table, you can just install the driver of technology Rapid Storage Technology on a high and installation of Windows XP running and you will be able to create and use RAID-1 with Windows XP.   See here: http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/imsm/sb/CS-022648.htm

  • Need help with the data storage store, local array and network connections

    Need help with my ESXi 4.1 installation

    My hardware:

    I built a server with an Asus P6T whitebox, i7 920, 12 Gig RAM, NIC, Intel Pro1000 PT Quad, 3ware 9650SE-12ML with 8 1.5 TB SATA green in a raid 6 array gives me about 8 + TB with a spare drive all housed within a NORCO RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server chassis.  I also have a 500 GB SATA drive which will hold the ESXi and virtual machines.

    The network includes a firewall, Netgear Prosafe FVS336G, GS724Tv of Netgear ProSafe 24 port Gigabit Managed Switch on a dhcp cable modem internet service provider.

    I also have 2 old NetGear SC101T NAS disks (4to) I want to connect to the system how some - at a later date have... data on them and want to transfer to the new storage array. I always looking into the question of whether they will work with ESXi 4.1, or I might have to only access it through Windows XP.

    My Situation:

    I have already installed ESXi 4.1 and vsphere client with no problems and it is connected to a dhcp cable internet service.  I've set up host via a dynamic DNS service name give me a static hostname on the internet.  I installed three machines to virtual OS successfully at the moment and now want to first start by creating a multimedia storage server which will use some of this new 8 TB array, then separate data storage for use with a web server small overhead storage and a backup.  It is a domestic installation.

    Help with the data store and network:

    I was doing some reading, because I'm new to this, and it looks like I'll probably want to set up my table via ESXi as a nfs disk format.  Now, the data store is usually in another physical box from what I understand, but I put my readers and ESXi all in the same box.  I'm not sure that the best way to put in place with grouped network cards, but I want to make this work.

    I understand that in ESXi 4.1 using iSCSi LUN must be less than 2 TB, but nfs - I should be able to add a bigger partition then 2 TB (for my multimedia) in nfs, right? or should I still add it separately as a separate 2 TB drives and then extend them to get the biggest space.

    Any suggestions or direct resources showing examples on how to actually add some parts of the table as data warehouses separate nfs.  I know that to go to the configuration tab, and then select Add to storage, and then select nfs. I have not my picture, but it's here that I don't know what to do because ESXi 4.1 system already has an address, should I put the same thing to the new data store array also (will it work?), and what should I use for the name of the folder and the store of data... just do something to the top.  I thought to later install Openfiler (for a multimedia storage using this table server) as a virtual machine, use the table with esxi so that I can access the same storage space with widows and linux-based systems.

    I also know I have to find a way to better use my quad nic card... put in place of virtual switches, grouping, etc HELP?

    Any direction, assistance, similar facilities to sample, suggestions or resources that would help would be great. I did a lot of hunting, but still a little confused on how to best to put in place.

    You must think of VMDK files of large databases with records of random size guest go read some data (a DLL or an INI file), maybe write some data back, then go read other data. Some files are tiny, but certain DLLs are several megabytes. It's random i/o all and heavy on the search time. IO Opsys is small random operations that are often sequential (go read data, write data, go read other data,...) so that deadlines are critical to the overall performance. That's why people say OPS are / s of reference and forget the MBs flow. The only time where you bulk transfers are when you read media (ISO files).

    Well, now forget all this. Actually the disk activity will depend on the specific applications (database? mail server? machines compiler?), but the above is true for boots, and whenever applications are idle. You should see the profile to know.

    RAID 10 is faster (and often more reliable) than RAID 5 or RAID-6 except in certain specific cases. In General RAID 10 is ideal for many random writes, since the calculation of parity for RAID-5 and - 6 adds to the overall latency between command and response - latency is cumulative if a little slow here and a little slow it adds up to a lot of overall slow synchronous especially with e/s on a network. OTOH RAID-5 and -6 can produce faster readings due to the number of heads, so you can use it for virtual machines that transfer bulk. Test. You may find that you need several different types subdashboards for best results.

    You said 3ware, they have some good grades on their site, but don't believe it. With my 9650 that I found myself with only a couple of their recommendations-, I put the (simple) table for allocation size 256 k, nr_requests at 2 x the queue_depth and use the planner date limit. I had the habit for the Ext4 file system formatted with stride and stripe-width synced to the table and used the options large_files with fewer inodes (do not use the huge_files option unless you plan to have single VMDK files in the terabyte range). Use a cache of great reading in advance.

    Virtual machines use VMDK files in all cases except raw iSCSI LUN that they treat native disks. VMDK is easier to manage - you can make a backup by copying the file, you can move it to a PC and load it into another flavour of VMware, etc. There could be some features iSCSI to your San as a transparent migration but nothing for me. NFS has less chatter of Protocol if latency lower times to complete an operation. NFS is good to read and write a block of data, that's all it boils down to.

    UPS is good, but it won't help if something inside the machine explodes (UPS does nothing if the PC power supply goes down). If the RAID card has an option for a battery backup module, so it can contain some writings in memory and may end up the disk i/o after replacing the power supply. 3ware also limits the types of caching available if help is not installed, and you get just the right numbers with the module.

  • New configuration of PC for Photoshop CS5 and 64-bit Windows 7

    Hello

    I just bought a new PC (with the budgetary limits) with the following configuration:

    8 GB of RAM DDR3 (1600 Mhz)

    1 HD 1 TB 7200 RPM (WD)

    Processor 3.00 Ghz i5

    GPU MSI 630GT 1 GB DDR3

    After reading many documents on the web, on the use of several physical hard disks for the use of Photoshop CS5 (I work on the lrage, 300-800MB files), I wonder if my current conifguration with only 1 HD (1 to) is "strong" enough for my needs?

    How many partitions and size preparing setting up my PC?

    If I was able to pull another $ 100 what should I expect? Another HD for Photoshop scratch disk? or maybe an SSD?

    Appreciate all the help I can get.

    Shai

    SSD is the path to high performance in modern systems, but $100 do not buy a lot of an SSD.  You can save a little while and get a 256 GB of high performance drive (ideally more).  It is quite big you could make your drive system and Photoshop for zero access point home as well and maybe even keep work in progress that you make about it.

    View on configuration of the systems (for example, ' the value zero to your system drive"'") does not really apply with SSD storage, because there is no latency with an SSD.

    What kind of SATA connections offer your new PC?  Ideally, you have SATAIII (6 gigabit), that would really be able to enjoy a good SSD.

  • Data storage 3.5 "Toshiba Canvio problem with permanent fade.

    Since I started using the Toshiba Canvio 3 TB 3.5 "external data storige disc he found himself a strange faul which makes it difficult to use.

    Data storage, for example when I use it to watch a video file off and then it start immediately again to go back... It can happen to the breast of a movie 20 times and it is very annoying because you never know when the judgment will happen...

    How to fix this please?

    Hello

    In my opinion it is not very easy to say why the external HARD disk automatically turns off while watching a movie. But this issue does not seem that there might be something wrong with the settings or software.
    Of course, some tools are available and installed on the HARD drive as the NTI Backup Now EZ software but I n t think that this could affect the playback of the movie. However, this software supports and automatic backup function and you can change how often your backup intervenes (hourly, daily, weekly, etc.). So try to disable this setting for testing purposes.

    Fact is that this 3.5 HARD drive must be connected to a power adapter and HARD drive supports the USB 3.0 interface but it s backward compatible with USB 2.0.

    I put t know what are the USB ports you have used for the connection of HARD drive, but I recommend you test all the USB ports taken in charge by the PC.

    Last but not least, it could be possible that there is a hardware problem simple HARD drive

  • Why is 'Use different data stores for disks of BONE and View Composer persistent' grayed out?

    I installed 5 (cluster host 2) vsphere, vcenter 5 discover 5 and openfiler (iSCSI VSA) in vmware workstation 7.

    I am trying to simulate a tiered storage configuration and created three warehouses of shared data in order to separate the replica, the linked clones and persistent disk.

    However, when I create my bound clone pool I am able to select a specific data store for the replica and bound but clone the persistent disk option is grayed out.  See photos attached to the pool creation, storage, and network configuration.

    Has anyone any suggestions?

    Thank you!

    Yes, the use of the disc for operating system profiles require a linked clone pool.     The operating system will be on the clone, persistent disk will be a disc loaded end service that survive refreshes and redials, and then the replica will be reading only one copy of the master image.    The replica in general has in the IO and is almost always placed on the SSD or storage faster than you have and the persistent data disk is usually low IO.

  • Strategy for local data storage

    I'm working on an application that allows you to store a lot of data locally and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on whether it is better to write in a persistent storage or write it to a local file.

    My application will store events, each event could have anything from 50 to 1000 (or maybe more) elements (as basic data types such as float, long, etc.) that are associated with.

    I was considering the creation of a persistent store of events, each might have a name, timestamp and store some info Basic, then bound, by store ID, persistent separation for each event. Would this be the recommended way to store this information. Or would it be better to have a single persistent store that contains everything? Or maybe that's putting too much data in a persistent store and I have to use a store for the list of events with the individual event data stored in a local file?

    Ultimately, user will have the ability to manage data, removing old events and/or by downloading the event data for the online storage, but before I look at coding this, I expect words of wisdom on what strategy of data storage that you would recommend.

    I agree that Persistent Store would be a good fit at first, especially since you would not serialize the data in and out of storage.

    Your biggest problem is perhaps the object handles, because there are only a limited number of them.

    Sorry I have been hunting round, there was once a document listed the size and memory handles available for each device.  It is a recommended memory PDF, but I don't find it anymore.  Anyone know where it is?
