• Aspire BIOS and RAID m3970

  Hello

  I noticed in the tab BIOS for an Acer Aspire M3970 and then advance under the integrated devices, there are options for the SATA mode on "Native IDE", "AHCI" and "RAID".

  I would like to know what RAID modes are supported by the RAID option on this forum. I can't seem to find this information anywhere does support at least 1 RAID when you have two drives?

  Any help would be great. Thank you.

  This system supports Raid 0, Raid 1, Raid 5, and Raid 10 configurations.

• Problem of ESXi 5.5 and RAID

  So I have an ESXi host and RAID problem with a motherboard for Intel Server S1200V3RP. Basically, the problem is that the 5.5 ESXi host is not recognizing the RAID array set up with the utility integrated. See the images below for what I mean.

  I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID. Although I may be wrong on this subject the behaviour of ESXi and each site Web I found says that this may be the case. I tried integrating storage and RAID drivers in the iso ESXi, I tried to update the BIOS chipset with the deployment server disk, and the management and I tried a USB installation with the drivers but nothing seems to solve this problem.

  Since ESXi does not the table as something other than dedicated disks, I tried an inventive work around by choosing the AHCI BIOS and install ESXi 5.5 mode host on a dedicated disk (volume 0). Then I switched back to RAID and used the Intel Rapid Storage Management utility to configure a RAID5 to three remaining disks. It seems to work very well and I was able to access the vsphere ESXi environment. However I couldn't see the RAID volume again on vsphere storage.

  I've plotted a plan where I could load the drives as individual data on the host and virtual server stores use the disk management utility or another program for RAID 3 hard drives together so that they appear as a single volume. However when I booted the system upward it appeared that the integrity of the RAID5 degraded after the addition of each drive separately (probably because he had to load a VMFS on each disc, thereby breaking the table). So this probably won't work (and even if it's possible, it's probably unnecessarily complex).

  So yes, I don't have really a clear idea of the place where to go to get the RAID controller integrated to be read by ESXi. I was told that there may be compatibility issues between VMware and my Intel server model, but I checked and its on its list of approved so compatibility it couldn't be her. I guess I could just stick with dedicated drives and load the HARD drives as data stores, and then use software RAID across virtual machines - but I am concerned about the way in which redundancy will include when we drive finally fails (could I just Exchange on as a hardware raid?). I always thought that software RAID (especially on windows server disk management) smb read and write speed is terrible compared to hardware RAID.

  Anyone know a solution to this problem or where I could go from here?

  ESXi is not 'super picky' here. This kind of fake-RAIDs that are so common on desktop PC motherboards and entry-level rely on specific drivers provided by the hardware vendor to work really. And suppliers basically only provide Windows drivers in the first place. Any other non-OS Windows would be faced with the same question. Try installing a Linux and that you will not see your RAID volume either.

  Yes, your motherboard does not use a real independent of hardware RAID but a cheap RAID/fake-software controller. See the Intel website:

• Files, database and Raid 11 G

  Our new 11g server is Windows 2003 32-bit with disks configured in Raid 1 and Raid 5. Here is how it is prepared.
  
  First group of disks Raid 1 OS and Oracle Home is 144 GB in size.
  
  Second disk Raid 1 group is 276 GB in size. Currently empty.
  
  Third disk Raid 5 group is 836 GB. Currently empty.
  
  What I'm trying to understand, is where should I put my files of database for better performance. My plan is to put the Temp tablespace in the first group of Raid 1 with the OS and the Oracle home. Then I'll put the Redo Logs and Rollback Segments on the second Raid 1 group. I'll put the other files in the database on the Raid 5 group with archive logs. Also, I intend to put a control file on each of the Raid groups to space out them.
  
  All reading I did on this forum and others, this seems like the best solution, but before I create the database, I wanted to make sure. I was unclear if I should move away from the OS and Oracle Home Temp tablespace, move the archive logs to a Raid 1 group or move my tablespace Index data files on the Raid 5 group.
  
  Visual layout
  
  RAID 1 = OS, Oracle Home and tablespace Temp (control file)
  
  RAID 1 = Redo logs and Rollback (control file)
  
  RAID 5 = data files and archive logs (control file)
  
  Should I do something different? Thanks for any advice.

  With today's technology, it's not really important :-) Unless you have special needs when your database is heavily loaded and you need less than a second time to answer, you can put everything on RAID5. Our database contains all files and executables on RAID5 (Oracle Applications ERP database). PlL see ML Doc 30286.1 (IO Tuning with the different RAID Configurations) for more details.

• Portege S100 - reinstall Windows XP using F6 and RAID drivers

  I have this announcement in the hope that it helps someone.

  Well my hard drive is dead, so got a replacement one. I'm not so innocently, I thought that, just down load the drivers from the website of the original dvd.
  So did all of this and the raid has yet to see! Changed the settins to raid in the bios that you get by pressing ESC, then the default values, restart and go back into bios goto page 3 - which is so visible. Make sure that the disc is set to1raid0 - download the manual, but you must agree to any change in typing 1234 when it asks for a string from the manual. Anyway did all that - still no visible drive - so which continues.

  Well apparently there are 2 sets of pilots kr10n and kr10i - that givesyou site is kr10n drivers. That may work for the most recent, but not mine! My laptop needs the kr10i which I can't find on the site tosiba. BUT http://download.cnet.com/raid-drv-20070719134547-zip/3000-18492_4-174094.html or you can google for raid-drv-20070719134547

  The steps for me were so use nlite to add the drivers of kr10i on a WinXP SP3 patched cd and start using that. It was work related.

  After that, everything went great! Well, I didn't have much hair initially, but even less after having finished the process.

  Good luck

  Hello

  Thanks for posting this short statement here in the forum.
  I think it might be useful for some users who try to install Win XP and try to include the RAID drives.

  PS. driver RAID The download also from the European pilot of Toshiba page!
  I installed Win XP and I'm using the nLite tool to include the RAID driver!

• Re: Satellite X 200-23 G and RAID

  Nice day!

  Note: Satellite x 200-23 G PSPBUE - 020011

  I saw in the discussions if there is not any brand of RAID in the BIOS and Instruction - the RAID is not present.
  But before buying, I checked that:
  HARD drive: 500 GB (5400 RPM), SATA, RAID

  This means that the RAID is present on board, or it means "may be present.

  Thank you

  Can I ask you something: what you mean under RAID and what features you expect with her?

• Qosmio G30-145: WinXP and RAID driver - no response

  I did everything that is needed for the installation of windows xp for Qosmio G30-145.

  Installation process is as a result: as in http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB56012H0001R01.htm and that worked, but during the installation of windows has started, you will be asked once more (first time I did format and second time that I did ' t format HARD drive): "INSERT THE DISK LABELLED"TOSHIBA RAID DRIVER"in the A: drive... "Press on enter when ready '- but no reaction... SOLUTION!

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  According to the Toshiba page suggested when installing Windows using to partition or format the HARD drive, the RAID driver is deleted in the process. This causes the shot the next time that the machine start-up.
  To avoid this, perform a partitioning and formatting before you run the manual installation of Windows.
  This behavior is not displayed during the installation of Windows XP with SP2 integrated

  Well, perhaps, you need a CD OS Win SP2 integrated?

  But why you do not use the recovery CD Toshiba delivered?
  On this CD, all drivers are preinstalled and you only need to install the OS from the recovery CD. All should work properly.

  PS: Just for the record: in the BIOS, you should find an option to disable (or change) the RAID.

• Presario 8000T with 2 SATA and Raid

  I had a hard drive go bad today and I want to replace the 80 G SATA (computer bought in 2004).

  I don't need really for the RAID feature and would like to just run 1 car (a new) and disconnect the 2nd.  I have an external hard drive that I use for backups.

  Question: Is it making too easy that disconnecting SATA # 2 (not use) and install the new SATA drive and install Windows XP Pro top?  I'll be off and running at this time there, or are there unexpected conflicts, you know?

  Question 2: If there are conflicts in the above statement I can just be best to install a new disk, use the original restore disks (XP Home) and keep the RAID?

  Please notify.

  Thank you

  ERICO,

  The system is P8656T #ABA.

  Yesterday as a test, I disconnected the low-level SATA disk and did a full recovery of the use of disks in the system.  A few mistakes RAID as planned, but some of the same things 'strange' occurred as before:

  (1) after connecting a drive hard external via USB in the front, the computer would recognize in my computer, then not, he would then not, as was the case a noise unique bell was noticeable again and again - very flakey.

  (2) system has been very slow execution of orders, close open windows

  (3) system would block

  (4) system would take 3-4 partial boots that I order for a start to the top completely.

  (5) computer at night: at initial start-up, she stopped and said a file was missing and hung, then Ihit and he continued the boot.

  I am currently NOW only test each other hard drive only, full recovery successfully and currently testing operations:

  (1) same problem with USB and external hard drive (ext drive works perfectly when connected to my laptop USB)

  Continue...

  It reminds you something in your experience? (ie. power supply possible problem maybe)

  Check if you can unplug it RAID.

  Thank you

• Suggested Drive setup for new h8 - 1360t with SSD and Raid-1 array

  All,

  I need some advice on how to configure the drives in my new system (waiting for construction and delivery, sigh).

  I bought a plan to replace the 1 TB drive with a new drive SSD that I start from and H8 - 1360T (Win 7 Pro).

  I also have a Raid-1 array in an old HP 4999 T system (Vista) disks Western Digital Caviar Black 2x2TB

  By looking at the motherboard plug appear to be only SATA0/1 6 GB/s, the others are 3GBPS.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03132942

  I was a little surprised by that and need some advice.

  1. If I put the SSD on SATA0 or SATA1, the quickest way?

  2 or do I put the drives Raid-1 array and move the SSD to path of 3 Gbps?

  I think this last (option 2), but wanted to get your entry in case missed me something.

  Thank you

  Joel

  Ruette,

  Thanks for your comments. Looks like I should start with Option 1 as a better starting point.

• Update Win10 and RAID 0 on a S7-392

  Did the update of Windows 10 on a Aspire S7-392 maintains the RAID 0 works correctly?

  Should be, IIRC the RAID0 is handled on the SSD module, not by external hardware or software drivers. In other words, that it should be transparent to the OS compleely. I suggest you make sure you have the current BIOS installed and, of course, the latest OS and driver. Backup the system then go for it!

• HP Envy 17 and Raid-0

  Hello

  I have an Envy 17-j005tx (Australian model) and hoped to Exchange internal 1 TB 5400 RPM HDD to the SSD and it places in a Bay Raid-0. I understand the pro/cons on different Raid configurations.

  I do all my work in virtual machines, with instant regular backed up over the network. So if they are not lacking, in theory downtime is limited to the time it takes to get new readers and the time to copy the snapshot in return.

  Q:  It is possible to configure the 17 want to start the Raid array-0? and wouldn't be a hardware or software raid?

  Manual stipulates that cell has 'Accelerometer (HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D) RAID 0/1 Support' - I'm looking for more information/confirmation before buying the hardware.

• PERC H330 and Raid 5, try adding another SATA drive raid 5 array

  Hi all

  I have one server PowerEdge T330 with 8 slots of disc and have currently 3 SATA drives running a raid 5 configuration.  I have a virtual disk configured for Raid (must).

  The operating system recognizes the disk and is able to use the resources...

  My desire is to add another hard drive to the table (hard disks of the same size, same brand, etc.) with 4 disks without losing any data.

  I looked in the settings of the iDrac and the only adjustment was to add the new disk as a global hot spare or a hot spare dedicated to the virtual drive.

  I also looked in the BIOS and do not see a way to add the new drive.

  Does anyone know how to increase capacity?  I can blow the virtual drive if necessary and start over without problem.  I intend to gradually accomplish this Act until adding 8 disks. (5 times).

  Help!

  Hello.

  Management controllers RAID and tables is not made in the BIOS iDRAC or systems. For the management of the RAID (virtual disks) arrays, you have OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA). If not installed, see the link: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=TK61C once installed, go to-> Storage->-> H330 PERC controllers-> virtual disk--> sub tasks available-> select reconfigure and run-> then check a box to add the fourth disk on the next page. Follow the prompts and allows you to extend your range of RAID 5.

• 2950 PE + PERC 6 / I and RAID recovery

  Hi, I'm new on PowerEdges. You are looking for a little direction in case we ever encounter hard drive problems. We receive a couple of 2950 III server that will run 6 ESXi and hosting a number of virtual machines. I intend to create RAID 1 or 5 berries.

  Lets say that a record in the table don't die, is recovering is easy to install a new drive and put it as a hot spare?

  The other big question is, what happens if one of the PERC 6 / I cards to die and I need to replace the card or I move the drives to the other server. How could I go to safely recreate the RAID configuration for drives WITHOUT losing data? It's one that worries me the most, and I can't find a real answer to online.

  I know that the RAID should never be used as a substitute for appropriate backups, but if it is possible to recreate the table with all the data intact, that would be amazing.

  Thank you!

  Hello
  If a drive dies and replace you it, he must rebuild without having to set it as a hot spare. If the controller dies, the RAID are stored on disks and they present themselves as a foreign configuration or a replacement controller and which could be imported and used.

• Disk controller and raid in the solid state for the T3600 / SCCM OSD boot image

  I'm testing a T3600 for our society.  I'm planning our Win 7 X 64 top using SCCM 2007 image.

  I downloaded the drivers of ACR for this Dell system and imported the driver in a package and in the boot image, but when I start my system (WinPC) boot image can find the hard drive and fails immediately when you run the task sequence to install the image.  I restarted the WinPE disc and press F8 to get the prompt BACK.  When I used a part of disk and tried to select disk 0 there no drive to select.

  It's a single SSD drive in this system, so I turned off raid but I don't know if I have a few wrong settings in the BIOS or the firmware of the controller, or if I have the correct controller and the hard driver in my boot image.

  Someone at - it it works and could you tell me the settings that you used in the BIOS, controller and what drivers you used?

  Thanks for your help.

  I got it.  There are two drivers for the controller and I missed a.  It was the PERC H310 for Dell Precision.
