• Online support for RAID5-10 migration on H700

  Our client has a T610 with a H700 integrated controller functioning as a host VMware 5.5 server there currently 6 disks in a single Bay RAID5.  The current RAID5 LUN consumes all available space, although the actual allocated storage is much less.

  Let's change the function of the server significantly, adding an app of the important data.  As part of this, I would like to add a couple more readers and convert the table to a pair of paintings RAID10 4 discs.

  I don't want to go into details of the allocated space, the size of the LUN, etc, here - we can manage that.  My question is, if the allocated space corresponds to the size of the target table I can make this migration online?

  Key questions:

  -I can reduce the size of the RAID5 LUN at all or anywhere near actual allocated space?

  -can I convert table RAID5 RAID10 - once again, assuming that allocated space should be?

  -I'd better first add additional disks and converted to a table of RAID10 8 - drive and then divide into two sets of 4 disks?

  -What specific Dell server management software must be installed?   Or is it only possible at the start of the BIOS?

  Of course, I make backups first!

  Regarding the managed material VD (tables/MON) go to:

  You can never "shrink" a picture by reducing the number of discs or the allocated space.

  Controllers do not support migration or nested RAID levels (10/50/50)... for example, you cannot add two drives to 4-drive RAID 10 either.

  If you plan to switch to a RAID 10 (which I support), then you will have to the data being backed up and restore in the new array.

• Migrate the RAID1 to RAID5 on T320

  What is the procedure for that? Can I connect the drive and restart, go to the controller (PERC H710P), split the mirror, add the new drive and old RAID1 disk and create the matrix RAID 5?

  Will this work?

  Hello

  You want to do is install server administrator if it is not already installed. Then you can go on the virtual disk and do a raid level migration that allows to convert a raid 5. Page 164

• copy / mirror / experience to migrate?

  I'm adding disks to my SC8000 and intend to use the encryption features.  This means that I have to use the function "migrate" to move my VMware aka "LUN" for new disks data stores encrypted during the execution of the normal workload.

  Stories about success or failure of the performance of this type of action?  Maybe some of you had the opportunity to use the migration feature?

  It seems that the data, when it migrates, simply land on RAID-10 unless I do something.  Well.

  -steve

  We have made several copy/move operations here without problem. The controller manages the 'behind the scenes' migration and even applications with heavy IOPS / s did not notice the change. When you perform the copy/move you create and select the volume target, and if you want this volume that can be assigned to a profile of proofreading without access to the layer 1/2, etc... If you are in "Advanced" Mode, you can also specify that the profile of this rereading cannot write on something other than Raid5/6 etc... We had this problem when we first imported all our Hitachi / volumes in the HDS EMC. Online storage / report attributed showed half of my storage was awarded to Raid-10. We had to contact Copilot to delete these pages manually (often requires rebalance raid) which frees up space to be allocated RAID 5/6.

• Add a new disk to RAID5 on HP DL580 G3 w / ESXi 3.5

  My DL580 G3 currently has 130GB of usable with a RAID 5 configuration space. 3 x 72 GB disks.  I intend to add a fourth Ultra 320 SCSI 10 K 72 GB for additional local storage.

  The DL580 has a Smart Array 6i controller. When I boot the DL580 I see no option of RAID as an Array Configuration Utility configuration. This box came to me with the already configured RAID5 array.

  Would I be able to add a new disk using a Smart boot CD that ACU to extend the RAID 5 set? If Yes, what version of SmartStart?  I did not see one for ESXi or ESX on the site Web of HPs. is there another method that I need to use to expand the RAID5?

  THANKS :)

  If you do not see the utility of configuration of the adapter for the POST/BIOS screens? Pressing F8 does not work either?

  You should have received a Smart boot boot CD with and in most cases, the Raid configuration is possible with this Smart Start.

  If nothing happens, you could build a UBCD4Win and integrate HP Array. I did it for a Smart Array e200i, but only the cmdline versions works well. The GUI version has some limitations on the display of pop-up windows.

  You must save / move your guests as there is no migration of the vmfs online!

• Planning the migration from DAS to iscsi SAN

  Hello

  We have a physical server running 6 VM ESX 3.5 (1 win SBS 2003 and linux 5) local SAS disks

  It's a 2xquad core clocked at 2.66 GHz dell

  now, let's add a second physical server (dell 2xquad core at 2.5 Ghz) and an ISCSI SAN: we would like to install ESXi on the second server and move all VMs on iscsi storage, so if the first server goes down in a few minutes we can manually set up the other to run all virtual machines (we are a small company and at present cannot afford the company/vmotion license).

  I ask for advice because we would virtualize an old physical terminal so win2003 Server (with 10-15 users, mainly working with MS office applications) using the second new physical server.

  This is the first time that we install a SAN (it's a dell MD300i with 10 disks 146 GB SAS, 5-disc SATA 1 TB for backup and snapshots) and we want to get the best performance out of it. Read the other posts, I understand that the discs are very important in a server virtualization terminal server and having good performance out of it.

  So, with this type of SAN and our workload, we should define a unique group of 5disk RAID with 9 discs and 1 hot spare, with a large ramdisk on it to create one or more data VMFS stores?

  or is it better to create 2 disk groups:

  -1 with two RAID1 disks for terminal server VM

  -1 with seven discs RAID5 for all other VM

  with a global hot spare disk?

  other general suggestions for migration, we will do?

  Thanks in advance

  Guido

  Yes, it's what I would do.

• I've recently migrated my iPhotos to Photos, perfectly worked for a few weeks, but suddenly today, I can't open my photos in pictures

  I recently migrated from iPhoto to Photos worked perfectly and I used it for a few weeks, but today I can open my pictures suddenly not in pictures. What's wrong?

  No idea since we can't see you - you must provide details - why you can't open pictures? What is going on? What is you get the exact error message? What version of the operating system and Photos you have?

  and there's a photo for Mac forum, which is where you can ask questions Photos - I will ask to be moved your message

• Open migration to Active Directory directory Windows vs Mac

  OK, so I help my old school to their IT needs, because they do not have a person hired for this role.

  Currently, they have a center where the staff use computers based on Windows 10 10 (systems of Core 2 Duo, especially assembled; all about 3 years) connected to a Windows 2008 Server (from Dell; about a year). As the institution wishes to expand the computers available to their staff (from 90), my suggestion was to move to Mac (probably 11 '' MBAs), with a MacBook Pro 15 "is the duty of the server.

  This migration can be done in one shot and would happen progressively (probably MBAs purchased each year for the next four years, 20-25).

  The current configuration is that there is a local + Admin user configured on each of the 10 Windows PC - based, with all personnel having access to the user not local administrator.

  In order to facilitate the management, I would like to move to the logons on the network, as we begin our migration to a Mac OS environment.

  Should we configure AD on Windows Server and bind it as MBAs, and when to buy us, with the final being the MBP 15 "for server-buying functions, or is it possible we can get the MBP 15" now and use Open Directory and binding the existing 10 10 Windows-PC with the macOS Server?

  NOTE: The school operates Google Apps, and all employees have a Google Apps account with a custom domain name.

  You can't link PCs to Open Directory without using 3rd - Party (page). In addition, depending on the operating system will not work reliable? You'd have to trial it first. Beyond bond and provide a home folder there will be nothing else. No management, no policies etc Open Directory to your PC.

  Support way to achieve this is to use Active Directory and complete with OD to manage your estate of mac only. Again, you can apply GPOS for Mac without 3rd - Party help which can be very expensive.

  Not that it's something that you would consider - although you could do? It may be preferable to go ' all the mac "If your intention is to switch to Mac OS. If your PC using the software that is available only for PCs consider using virtual machines on your Mac to keep this aspect of the school.

• migrate Photos pictures of the camera

  My brother-in-law (senior senior!) is struggling to migrate images from his camera for Photos.  He has just upgraded its imac 2009 at El Capitan 10.6.8 10.11.6 so this is a big step.  He has done the conversion from iPhoto in pictures, but when he plug his camera, the content opened in pictures, but when he clicks on import, nothing happens.  It is about 3,000 km, so I'm the middleman.  I use the same software and have no problem, so I fight for help.

  Any ideas?

  What camera? He is shooting JPEG or RAW? What happens? Image Capture will import the photos? If you once they are safely on Mac and backed up using camera format command to erase and reformat the card

• Migration process now broken

  Hello

  I'm migrating a server running 10.8.5 to a new Mac running 10.11.6. It was very well - I took a Time Machine backup, it has migrated to the new Mac, download server, ran Monday, and everything has worked just like that.

  Thursday, since server was updated to 5.2, after migration and download server and running it, he refuses now to update saying I need to run an earlier version of the server or OS X to do the migration. I have no way to get the version that was available for download on Monday but, not that I can see.

  Any advice?

  Solved by Apple support - buy a Mac running 10.11 prior to version 10.11.6 and the App store will download an older version of the server. That can be copied in all and the migration done with this version.

  Phew.

• Mail of the Mac Mini, iMac with the migration wizard

  I have a mac mini (2014 - El Capitan) that I have used for some time now and I have many mailboxes (30 +) with many stored messages (100s maybe 1000s).

  I recently picked up a 2011 27 iMac which is running OS X Sierra Final Release Candidate due to vision problems.

  Both units are working well but I would like to transfer my boxes to the letters, messages, and the account settings from the Mac Mini to the iMac using Migration Assistant to take advantage of the larger screen.

  Am I able to select only the data for e-mail (boxes letters, messages and settings) to transfer somewhere in the Migration Wizard interface or will it just to start the transfer of all?

  I use iCloud for note, calendars and contacts, but prefer not to use for e-mail.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

  WN

  The simplest option would be to use Time Machine to restore your data.

  Other Options:

  You can export the folders you want to transfer the mini using export of Mail under mailbox function in the Menu bar > export a mailbox... Drag to the folder on the desktop on the new iMac and import in Mail. File > import boxes mailbox...

  You can also use a third-party application, Emailchemy to export your Mail on the mini and pull only the folders you want and import. If you have many files, it would be a faster option.

  http://www.weirdkid.com/products/emailchemy/

  Otherwise, you could drag on the whole Mail > V3 folder let Sierra update data. This assumes that you have already started using Mail to Sierra.

  You don't have to use iCloud email to use Apple Mail. I strongly suggest that you use IMAP to service what ever you choose to use.  Comcast, Yahoo, Gmail, AOL, Hotmail (other)

• Understand migrations from iPhoto to Photos

  After you migrate an iPhoto for photo library, the file extension of the iPhoto Library is changed in .migratedphotolibrary, and my understanding is that the two libraries share the same files through the use of "hard links". I've also read that if one of the libraries is published subsequently, what causes the link between versions of break. Is this true?

  If so, my questions are:

  (1) If hard links break, this means that storage on hard drive required by the two libraries is increased by the size of one of the libraries? If so, who would not take a little time if the booksellers were important, for example 100 GB or more?

  (2) immediately after the migration, what happens if one of the libraries I move to a different folder? Again break hard links? If so, same question as above.

  No - change or deletion of a form of photos a library does not break the hard link and has no effect on the other library - they are totally independent

  1 - Yes

  2. Yes, I believe that to break hard links - travel for sure as a library to another volume break

  Why move a? Usually simply leave you it where it is for several months until you are sure that you need is no longer and then archive and delete

• Migrating to SATA drive to iMac

  Four days ago my MacPro (2010) died. I have four 3 "SATA drives from 1 to 2 to each of Mac Pro. The computer was for business and personal use. Absolutely everything (including financial information) I have is on these four discs, including redundant copies of some files, but also my Time Machine backup.

  I will have an envelope coming tomorrow which is a RAID box but will be executed in the independent drive with four drives Mode. My 'new' computer is an iMac (2013), that was given to me.  The iMac and the main SATA drive running the same version of the operating system. I need to resolve this issue quickly so I can return to work. In the immediate future, I intend to operate out of the primary SATA drive to catch up, and then transfer when I'll have a good time to transfer.

  My question is the best way to get the entire contents of the primary SATA drive on the iMac's hard drive. I want everything that is on the main SATA drive to put to be on the iMac (including the prefs and hidden folders) of Mac Pro and it would be the same when I booted the Mac Pro.

  Can I use migration utility, clone the drive SATA main to the iMac or even use the Time Machine backup?

  If I clone the drive, I know that I would have to boot from one disk other than the iMac drive to clone to the iMac. When the primary SATA drive is attached, I need to boot from it by holding down the option key at startup key to select the startup disk.

  If I use the Migration utility, it seems I start the iMac, and then run the utility to the iMac of the SATA drive range, which would be connected to the iMac. This would replace all the information on the iMac even though it was the boot drive?

  I printed the information on the Migration of Apple Mac help when transferring to another storage device, but it's not quite clear to me.
