• 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.

• HP Pavilion 15 laptop: Need help, PC laptop HP Pavilion 15 could not boot from USB external hard drive.

  My desktop HP Pavilion P7-1074 4.5 years computer dropped last week. Planed to get a replacement on Black Friday or the day after Christmas. But I have to run some programs inside hard drve to the desktop computer. So I have attatched hard disk dive from my desktop to my laptop HP Pavilion 15 USB port with an enclosure.

  The laptop would recognize the external hard drive as a SYSTEM (F 62.2 MB of free space of 97.9 MB, OS (GTB-free 1.11 of 1.35 TB and HP_RECOVERY (H 1.33 GB free of 11.0 GB.))) But I couldn't find the program I want to run.

  I went into the BIOS to set the boot order to boot from USB first, but I could not get the result I expected. The laptop still start on its own hard drive. I tried all three USB ports, no one works.

  Could someone help me please?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi @db69613,

  Welcome to the HP forums! It's a great way to engage, ask questions and find resolutions by working with specialists from the community of HP. I understand that you need assistance with your desktop computer HARD drive that is connected to your laptop via the USB port. I'll be happy to help you with this.

  I'm just surprised at the levels of technical knowledge and technical skills that your possession. Hats off to you for this. It was very clever of you! It has been a privilege to have shared this platform with you and work with you.

  First of all, programs of a different version or windows session will not work on another computer as it was installed on the computer of origin at this time. It is an installation and application software, to the difference of the data or information that is accessible by any computer when the hard drive is connected. It is because no software installation binds the application of this specific operating system installed on this specific to the time machine.

  If the computer does not and the hard drive is accessible, all the content (such as music, photos, videos, and other information are accessible), but the programs have been installed originally are not available and will not work on any other computer when it is connected to the outside.

  However, if the hard drive works fine, windows is correctly installed, then the same hard disk can be installed on another PC of office and some of the programs should work ideally.

  I hope this helps! Please let me know how it goes. I really hope that the issue is fixed without hassle.

  To simply say thank you, please click the "Thumbs Up" button for appreciate my efforts. If it helps, please mark this as "'Solution Accepted". " If you need more assistance let me know and I will gladly do whatever I can to help.

  Please take care now and have a wonderful week ahead.

• Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion Windows XPsp3 OS - need help data recovery

  Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion - need help data recovery

  HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased late 2006 at best buy, with Windows XP, upgrade to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu 60 GB HDD partitioned into C: and a D: Recovery.

  Windows tries to start, but goes to a blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for a second, then just guard recycling until I force a shutdown.

  Phoenix BIOS, hard drive test result: "Fail #1-08".

  I ran a program to drive on the Cdrive analysis/recovery and it seems to show the directory structure intact, and he was able to recover some files. I used the free Seagate (which only retrieves the small files). The second pass only works so well and in the third set as the program says that I should not go further, and I need to contact a professional drive recovery company.

  However, drive D seems to be intact, so I wonder if the disc is damaged or just one aspect of the logical drive C is bad.

  How can I get the D: to run recovery on it software? The recovery discs, made by Best Buy, just proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
  Pressing the F10 key at startup bothers me nowhere. Ditto the key F11.

  I don't like hard disk; This is the data (files, documents, images, etc.) that I want to.
  I contacted HP to order recovery disks, but they are no longer available for my computer.

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  Jon

  Hi BSRC$, in stock

  1. You have security software installed on the computer?
  2. You receive an error message when you restart the computer?

  Reinstalling Windows XP to the factory setting would not be the first option.

  It is possible that some third-party programs or the services installed on the computer interfere with the installation of service pack 3.

  I suggest that you try to uninstall service pack 3 from the computer by using the recovery console and subsequently ask the article below for what to do before installing the service pack 3on the computer.

• need help for calculation date

  I need help with this:

  I added successfully a document level script to add the date printed in my document

  this.getField("DatePrinted").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", new Date());

  I now need to fill in a field named "Date" with a date that is 14 days after the date of DatePrinted.

  and I'm lost.

  Can anyone help?

  Get the current date/time

  var d = new Date();

  Add 14 days

  d.setDate (d.getDate () + 14);

  Set a field value

  getField("Deadline").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", d);

  That last part may need to be changed depending on where you place the script. If it's the same script at the document level, the whole thing can be:

  Get the current date/time

  var d = new Date();

  Set a field value

  getField("DatePrinted").value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", d);

  Add 14 days

• Need help to recover data from delta vmdk

  Hello

  I have a big problem.

  He had a guest Ubuntu 8.04 Server installed on VMWare ESXi 4.1

  It is a virtual machine size 200 GB.

  Since then, it was running on 99% complete, I tried to increase the size to help

  vmkfstools x 210 G /vmfs/datastore1/LinuxServer/LinuxServer.vmdk

  
  

  But then he started giving the error

  "Failed to open (The parent virtual disk has been modified since the child was created)."

  We had the hell of the data on the virtual machine, and the admin had not saved any of them.

  And on top of these, the guy who created the virtual machine installed Ubuntu over LVM. ()

  Then I noticed that in the settings of the virtual machine, the HARD drive was made to a vmdk to delta as LinuxServer-000001 - delta.vmdk (81 GB)

  but the main file seems to be LinuxServer - flat.vmdk(210GB).

  To try to start the computer again, I messed all CIDs, now I don't know who is what.

  On one last try, I tried to create an another VM pointed flat vmdk.

  Which seems to start properly, but many files have disappeared.

  Is there a a way to recover the data by using the vmdk delta?

  Please help someone.

  Hi Vishnu,

  I already mentioned in the post where I gave you the files: "what I did is that I reduced the size of the disk original back to 200 GB.

  Basic disk size was brought to 210 GB, but it was originally of 200 GB. However the Flash disk was always set to 200 GB, so I reduced the size of the Original Base i.e. the flat.vmdk disk using the pointer file hard.

• Need help on the use of the PCI-6221 and c# to control three digital Port and an analog of entry

  I need to send the digital output at three ports and then read an analog input voltage using the analog card PCI-6221.

  I did a c# program to fight against it. I built four tasks altogether. Three tasks for three digital output ports and a single task for analog input.

  How can I reduce the time?

  Using my method, to 3.3ms in total. And it's slow.

  I can build one task for three ports?

  What is the best way to the control task to reduce the time of communication with the PC?

  Is that possible to save a lot of analog reading entry in the memory of the DAQ hardware and then read it all together from the computer in order to reduce time consumption?

  1 million thanks!

  Hello

  Hi Jin,

  To answer your questions, Yes, you are able to configure a task of digital output to use three output ports and PCI-6221 has a buffer of memory FIFO aboard 4095 samples.

  I would like to direct you to the example of NOR-DAQmx for c# files located in the following location on your computer

  C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\DotNET2.0

   

  Here, you will find predefined examples in c# that should give you a good idea of how to go about architecting your code to achieve the results you need.

  There is also a useful help file which you will find by navigating to Start > all programs > National Instruments > NOR-DAQ > help of NOR-DAQmx .NET Framework 2.0
