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!

-Ken

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.

    Your license allows you to have the software enabled on both machines at any time.  If you need to have on another you would need to disable one of the two machines before you activate the new installation.

    Hello

    This could be due to a host file incorrectly configured as hosts of operating system files map the hostnames to IP addresses. A misconfigured hosts file can affect the ability of your computer to connect to the Adobe activation servers.

    Follow these steps to see if there is a problem with your hosts file and if necessary

    Please follow the steps below:

    1. Click Start > run, type % systemroot % \system32\drivers\etcand press enter.
    2. Right-click on the hosts file, and then select Open. Select the application Notepad open the hosts file.
    3. Save the hosts file: choose file > record under, save the file as hosts.backup, and then click OK.
    4. Look for the hosts file for entries that refer to adobe (for example, 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com, or 127.0.0.1 lm.licensing.adobe.com) and delete these entries.
    5. Save and close the file.
    6. Restart your computer and try to turn it on again.

  • Support for Microsoft Windows Server 2003

    Hello

    Can you please let me know the end of support for Windows Server 2003?

    I manage and application that is currently running on Windows Server 2003 and will soon migrate to Windows Server 2012 but the exact date is not decided, as a lot of analysis should be done prior to the actual migration.

    Please let me know when Microsoft end this support for their Windows Server 2003 so that I can work on that accordingly.

    That would be really helpful. Any announcement already made by Microsoft on this? I found a few things online stating it would be 2015, but nothing seems to have come directly from Microsoft.

    Thank you in advance for the information.

  • File USB supports for disappointment 19BL502B TV

    Hello

    After reviewing various brands and models of 19-inch TVs, I decided on the Toshiba 19BL502B, after downloading the manual for http://www.toshiba-om.net online.

    What particularly attracted me to it was the support of USB for movies Xvid encoded, as described in 'Appendix C: supported File Formats for USB Mode' in the manual that I downloaded from the top.

    So, I bought one, paid in cash, but when I try to run files xvid, TV does not have this format.
    Research in the paper manual that I got with the TV, Xvid files are not mentioned at all in Appendix C.

    Convert these files in mpeg2 standard comes with a heavy fall in quality and even when converted to Vob format, the image is ok, but there is no sound.

    I tried to take it back to the shop but they say there is nothing wrong with television, as it does what it says in the manual.

    So what's happening? Why my new TV from Toshiba UK does not supports xvid, even if the online manual says it does, and I know that make televisions more expensive and larger Toshiba?

    Can I get an upgrade of the software that supports xvid as advertised?
    My software version is 0.6.6 V and when I do an update he claims it's the lates version.

    So is there an earlier version of the software which, is there a place I can download it, put it on a USB key and upgrade to get what I consider all of the announced features?

    I am very, very disappointed, because it was really the main reason that I bought the machine, so I didn't have to reconvert and DVDs to read.

    Disappointed Frank.

    Hello

    File formats supported for USB mode are listed in appendix c.
    And the video Format Xvid is supported for files with the file extension. AVI
    So if your movies are encoded in the format xvid video, you must use the .avi file extension.

  • Extreme SSD 120GB - No. TRIM support for Linux later? $150 wasted?

    I am a customer of Sandisk's long-term and generally been happy with their products.

    My favorite and the only OS is Linux, like the millions of PC users, laptop, Tablet and smartphone world. I'm about to take delivery of a brand new Sandisk Extreme SSD 120 GB. This is my 2nd SSD (the other being of Kingston). I just found this review online (newegg.com) about current support for Sandisk Extreme SSD TRIM for Linux:

    "Cannot support a topping on LINUX. I also use EXT4 throw tag in/etc/fstab and it does not work. I sent Sandisk. They said: "I understand that you were not able to activate the TRIM on your SSD 120 GB extreme linux system command. We are sorry for the inconvenience this problem may have caused. »

    Then I remember seeing this in own of Sandisk SSD info online:

    "Any operating system can be installed on an SSD. There is NO compatibility problem with regard to the operating system. Windows, Mac, Linux, Unix any version or BACK can be installed on an SSD.
    Certain features such as the PLATE only are supported in mode native on the latest operating systems such as Windows 7 and Mac OS 10.6 and higher. »

    I'm worried. First of all, I have always use the latest version of Linux, continually updated to day and make all the necessary preparations for the maximum performance of SSD (including changes to operating and fstab AHCI). Then my other SSD worked flawless since (installed 6 months ago) news including the TRIM under Linux.

    Then I read elsewhere that Sandisk provides no SSD firmware still updates (?). Is this correct?

    If so, then Houston, we have a (major) problem. Product not suitable to use? Misrepresentation of product? Inadequate technical support? Incomplete engineering front of dumping on the market?

    I might be worrying unduly. Heck, I really hope someone can help me, clarity and TRIM unlimited direct. Can I use my new Sandisk Extreme SSD as my other player, without product development stressful of Sandisk. (Before I drop the fanboys Win7 and Mac, Linux is also valid in the real world like any OS corporate-drone. Heck one day you too could see the light...)

    Good news all around. Extreme SSD arrived and installed without a hitch. Also received a number of useful answers E-mail of Support technical Sandisk (thanks, notably, spear, who approached the plate). In short, if you have a recent Linux kernel installed, opt for the filesystem ext4 on both / and / Home. But first of all to be absolutely sure that you have selected the AHCI option in the section of the BIOS of your motherboard SATA mode. (Flashing the latest mainboard BIOS should also help.) So to allow TOPPING Linux offers edit you your file/etc/fstab to include the "noatime" instructions and "throw" in the lines making reference to / and / Home. Save and you should be good to go. So to answer my own original doubts - TRIM is supported for latest Linux OS provided that you follow the installation process. I lose $150? Probably not, but only time and toggle NAND will tell!

    We believe that it is somehow to do with Hyper-V under Windows 2008 and vWorkSpace running on Windows 2012 - the VHDX format is not supported by the version of Hyper-V server. A glance online confirms this. So my question is, how update the master image changed the format VHD vWorkSpace wants to use and is there a way to assign vWorkSpace don't know this format?

    I have widely in search of a solution to this line and not found anything it either, nor there seems a clear way in the vWorkSpace console to change that.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I suspect that you have created a snapshot on your model.  It is not supported, if you delete the snapshot so that the .avhd is merged to the vhd/vhdx and update the model in vWorkspace again.  If this does not work, you will need to delete the model of vWorkspace and then re-import.

  • Where is the support for us Mac users?

    I lost a lot of my time this morning looking for an online manual for the C7280 all-in-One to use with my MacBook Pro, OS 10.7.5. It seems that * everything * I find is based on Windows.

    Any help out there?

    This manual is designed more or less with the printer in the spirit and not the operating system as it is used on. A very small part of this document is on the software side of things, which is the only time where the operating system comes into play. However, if you look at the steps, a lot of the information can apply to the OS X as well. The steps are pretty General, which apply to Windows XP, Vista and 7; in which the steps are different for each version.

    However, if you are looking for specific documents "How-to" Mac, I would recommend to check the support page for the printer.

    Operating instructions: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3204785

    Solve a problem: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3204785

    This is where you find specific documents in Mac OS X.

    For example, under the section How - to's, under impression, the first document listed is "Change Print Settings in Mac OS X," found at the following link: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01368574

    These documents are not in the user's manual and all together in a PDF, but the steps listed on the site are specific to the version of Mac OS X and simpler than what you'll find in the user guide.

    I know that this is not the exact answer you are looking for, but I hope it's useful. If you need help with any specific questions, there are a lot of people on the forums ready to help you find the answers you are looking for, including me.

    Have a great day,

  • 22/07/13 - caveat, 'ZIRCON SYSTEMS, TECH SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS' CROOK, USING THE PLOY of id # 888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062

    Last week, and now on the longest phone conversation with me this morning, Mon, 22/07/13, phone swindler wants to CHECK the ID NUMBER OF YOUR COMPUTER.  A 3rd call repeat 'husband' today, from "Steve Matthew," of "Zircon systems", where the staff is all "Microsoft Certified technicians".  Said our PC has been disconnected from the server "universal routing" and needed to check the identification number.  Said computer infected and disengaged, errors with malicious files.  That 50% of Microsoft applications does not.  Finally, after several questions polite but stupid me, as if to say but our computer works OK?  the appellant was told that he is temporarily hung up a temporary server! but it must be reconnected...  After having his name and telephone number - strongly Indian accented man "Steve Matthew" on the phone # 408-498-3608, and have patiently give me the 888DCA60 etc etc 32 numbers, he indicated that he understood my being suspicious, but it is a Microsoft Certified tech, calling for Windows, have we not Windows 7 or XP or Windows 8, etc.?    And he said I could not find the computer ID number easily, it wasn't on our guaranteed purchase paperwork, etc, that I would need to go online with him, to find our location.

    Knowing that registrations for computers, go directly to the manufacturer only if you send the information on your purchase, and that no known iin manufacturer sends the modern world 'Oops, you're disconnected' phone calls, it seemed a bit of fun to keep to provide information...

    So I explained to Mr. Steve, when he repeated for the 4th time that it has been certified Microsoft Tech and trustworthy and kept warning me that our computer would break soon, that, by analogy, certified Subaru Techncians had simply taken a few classes to automotive Subaru training and were not necessarily qualified or guaranteed to work on my car the certification does not matter, you should still consult your dealer, the garage, make sure it's good reputation.    Then, I asked him directly, so, on a phone call from me, a total unknown, he would be willing to send me or transfer to me $2 000,00.  He actually misses, in dismay.  So I repeated it-$ 2,000, say, in US dollars, would it send it to me, if I had called and told him his bank account had been disconnected from his bank, and I needed to reconnect it?   He ate and asked me ' you mean $2,000! $? ' so I said yes, would he give me or transfer to me on this amount, based on a phone call?  He said absolutely not.  End of quote.   I told him how we would check with some type IT geek friends we know, took his phone, name and said I would be back to him and please DON'T NOT CALL BACK IN AN HOUR, BUT PUT us WE HIS DO NOT CALL LIST.

    At this point, I googled Zircon systems - and there is no such American society less than a jeweler or invest co. in Illinois), although I had a systems Zicom in India, which seems to be the sale of legitimate & electronic security systems and then I googled the identification number, find some great ads about what happen and asks what will be PayPal scam, if one agrees with the appellant and goes online and follow their directions.

    (See mutation 2012 of a David Jacoby to http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208193750/ , who described a telephone scam quite similar, with the technical information, copy requested screens, orders).   Maybe giving a technical support genuine or scam to support people on your side, an idea of what was going on my caller to walk me through, if I had fallen for the Universal Server disconnected claim it does?

    Hope this helps to update your information, files.

    In any case, this is my first time ever having reported a telephone scam.  Thought it would do, seems since then I received a call from update and more sophisticated scam.  My husband simply hung up on the caller last week - he knows little re our PC, I ask more tech-savvy people to help if necessary.  But then, the scammer called back, too.  If something had to be done to put an end to the process?

    Don't forget, if you get that kind of call, simply ask the crook to trust YOU, say that you are a certified technician to bankruptcy with years of training from the IRS.  Ask if he is personally prepared to transfer $2 000,00 to you (via Paypal, do not give your bank account to him for any potential future direct deposit!), but preferably by cheque of... And it must be sent to the address of your worst enemy in life, as you need the alimony to a former spouse.  Or to a mailbox in a different city than your...  And then tell him you'll telephone him with the identification number of your computer, once you have verified that the money is in hand.

    Done politely, in a pleasant soft voice, you would be surprised how unprepared the scammer or snow must be befriended as a simple employee, but itself for you send funds then asked?  I'm looking seriously for the money from them here - I'm not asking in fact send me $2,000, but I said that I was trying to explain by analogy, with auto - trained technicians and requests for money, why I wanted to check with the best-known people before giving identification numbers.  Analogies, it seems well understand what we hear - an example?  I just him speechless when I wanted a large amount of course him sent me instead...

    Uh, Mr. Steve Matthew, Zircon systems, technical support for Windows company, also clearly didn't "want to send me a few thousand, and he hung up, after I suggested that he does not call again, asked him to put us on the list of subscribers do not call...   Clearly a new variant, although, in the wick on the Microsoft Certified Tech claims, the name of Zircon systems company and so I thought after that.

    Hello

    I had a similar call from Indian women (?) strongly accented called 'Janet' of 'Zedconnsystems', based in Floria, USA. She had called asking to speak with my roommate to tell her at the computer (which is mine) showed the error messages.  She shook off the usual garbage and was unable to answer most of the questions I asked, but gave his phone number as 4084983608.

    As far as scams go this one seems rather transparent, but mention on the off chance someone saves a load of hassle!
