Internal tape drive

Hi all

Here's what I have going... I have a small project for a small

company. What they have done is bought a Dell server with a band

drive.

I use VMConverter to move two physical Windows 2003 servers to this area.

My question is at least one of the virtual machine will be able to see and use this internal tape drive.

I am tired of talking them to another type of storage, but with

their budget and they had tapes and software that would work

with this player.

Thank you

Hello

Please visit http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Virtualization/How-to-Attach-Local-Tape-Device-to-VMware-ESX-Host/ for assistance with this. The key is to have a SCSI Adaptec (non-RAID) card within the ESX host.

    Hello

    I am installing a SAS LTO4 tape drive in a Dell PowerEdge T320 Tower Server.  I have the tape drive and the controller/HBA H310 SAS for the connection to the drive but I can't find the right cable for the H310 training. #

    I'll use P/N: 606JD, which is listed on the TBU for T610/T710 cable but don't know if it's the cable for this unit.

  • Collection of virtual device SCSI for tape drive node

    When you add a SCSI device such as a SCSI tape drive internal to a particular Windows VM, regardless of which node to virtual device I choose?

    This virtual Windows machine has two SCSI drives:

    -SCSI (0:0) hard drive 1

    -SCSI (0:1) hard disk 2

    Can I put the tape on SCSI drive (0:2)?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Choose a secondary controller and the SCSI ID of the device. If it is a SCSI ID 4 use something like 1:4. It's "best practice".

  • Are there files in some tape drives?

    DB version: 11.2
    OPERATING SYSTEM: AIX
    MML: Symantec Netbackup 7.1

    I worked only with front based disc backups.

    My question is not specific to Netbackup. I just want to know how if there are directories in tape drives? Or does a wholesale directory where all the backup files are stored?

    After you have configured netbackup, if I run the script below
    RUN
    {
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE';
    SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=emprd218, NB_ORA_SERV=hewmast193'; 
    BACKUP DATABASE; 
    sql 'alter system archive log current'; 
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch00; 
    
    ALLOCATE CHANNEL ch00 TYPE 'SBT_TAPE'; 
    SEND 'NB_ORA_CLIENT=emprd218, NB_ORA_SERV=hewmast193'; 
    BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL ; 
    RELEASE CHANNEL ch00; 
    } 
    In which directory in band will be stored all these backups?

    If it was from disk, from the FORMAT parameter, I knew where all the backupfiles are stored.
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT '/u04/backup/ora_df%t_s%s_s%p';

    Greenish salvation,

    I just want to know how if there are directories in tape drives?

    There is no inventory on the tape. Ribbon tape and disk is disk. (But to be honest, a tape backup can be used to restore files and directory structures).
    Make direct backups to tape you can use:

    BACKUP DATABASE FORMAT "ora_df % t_s %%p s_s.

    Backup will software an internal ranking system is in service a restoration of the channel.

  • Internal hard drive is no longer visible on the desktop iMac computer after rebuilduild

    Had to rebuild and install OS X on an internal hard drive of my iMac. I can no longer see its icon on the desktop. I can find the files n the finder so I know he can r be read and written. Suggestions as to the problem of formatting, I presented.

    Maybe you need to reassign, through the system preference.

  • internal hard drive of the AirPort Extreme?

    Is it possible to install an internal hard drive on AirPort Extreme?

    NO.

    You can put a hard drive inside... as he shares the frame with the TC... but there is no control over the Board and boot rom is probably wrong.

    If you want a hard drive of your only choice is to use USB... either course, you can get a Time Capsule.

  • Installation internal SSD drive and storage of documents on external hard drive

    Hello!

    I have an older iMac and I want to speed it up by installing a SSD drive.  Currently, my internal hard drive has 2 TB of storage, and I don't want to pay for one SSD of this size.  I consider the use of an external drive for my files and using the SSD internal applications and the operating system.  Can this work?  What is the internal SSD of minimum size I should get, more or less, according to my number of apps?   The documents will open at a decent speed?   It is up to me to use an external hard drive with a Firewire instead of USB connection?  Thank you!

    Hi Dan:

    Apps it really depends how much you use and what types of data you want to keep in vs SSD HARD drive.

    120-128 GB SSD: USD price: 60-70 price range.

    for 250/256 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 80-90

    for 500/512 GB SSD: about USD: price range of 130-150

    An external 2 TB drive: for laptop (USB bus-powered - usually 2.5 "HDD included): 90 us $, for the largest 3.5" Office style HDD: 90 USD

    For me:

    I store all my music on the external network drive (RAID 1 configuration, 2 TB, and 50 percent full this time), all my documents/pictures are still in my 500 GB SSD.

    I don't have much video projects on my SSD.

    I used about 200 GB in my internal SSD flash drive

    Good luck finding your best solution.

  • FCPX think that an internal hard drive is a camera. What should do?

    FCPX think that an internal hard drive is a camera. What should do?

    YYou have probably something at the root of the drive that makes the application think that. Maybe a folder called DCIM or ITS oe a package called AVCHD. A number of things it can do.

  • iMac G5 won't internal hard drive boot

    Hello

    I am a student at a vocational school student IST. The faculty member sent us old iMac G5 17 inch to set ourselves. After the repair of the motherboard, we had to install OS X 10.5 installation DVD, because the customer had erased his record for security purposes. However, the internal disk drive would not work, so we had to set the Open Firmware mode and start from a normal PC hard drive connected via a SATA-USB adapter cable. We got the OS installed and restart clicked on Setup, but the splash screen always appears as a folder missing OS. We tried to go into Open Firmware and setting the device on the hard disk, but it wouldn't boot. Other things we tried:

    -Hold the "D" key on startup to force it to boot from the internal hard drive, but it could not start

    -Optionally now to go to the menu boot device menu boot device froze after a few seconds

    -Insert the 10.5 installation disc in our external DVD drive (as mentioned above) and launch the disk utility > startup disk to restart the iMac and the start of the internal player, but same result as previously (missing the OS icon)

    At this point, both students that the instructor are almost of ideas, and I thought that post on the forums to see if there is anything else we can try before you buy another drive and charge the customer.

    Thank you in advance!

    Disk utility to partition and format the drive.

    Boot from the installation disc:

    Booting from an OS X install disc

    1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

    2 restart the computer.

    3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

    4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

    logo appears.

    5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

    Once the installation program is loaded, select the country and click on the continue button. Wait for the menu bar of the screen to appear. Select utility drive in the Utilities menu. On the left should be a list of mounted drives. Select the entry of out-bumpy drive to the HARD disk (usually, watch mfgr. name and size or model number.) Click the Partition tab in the main window. Select 1 partition from the menu drop-down Partition scheme. Set the type of Format for Mac OS Extended journaled. Click on the apply button and wait for it to finish.

    At the end of player preparation, you can quit disk utility and return to the installer. Proceed with the installation of Mac OS X by following the instructions.

    If any of these categories can be completed due to HARD drive problems, then most likely the drive is dead. G5 models use standard 3.5 "SATA drives, I recall.

  • You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

    Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

    I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

    Thank you

    Hello
    For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

  • Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

    I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

    I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

    Can anyone provide more information?

    Hello!

    I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
    It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

    Good bye

  • Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

    I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

    Thank you

    CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

  • Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

    Hello

    Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

    However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

    Hello

    I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

    Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

    Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.
