Order of the drives on startup

Hello

I had something weird happen to me for the first time, one of my Linux (RHEL 4) VM came with their readers in a different order. We had to stop the virtual machine, as well as others, to conduct some interviews on the SAN, but when we turned on, the last three discs came in a different order.

What was driving 7 came as disc 6

What was in car 6 came as disc 5

Wharton is drive 5 came as disc 7

This only happened to this VM, and none of the other virtual machines Linux which is weird, but unfortunaly that only production Linux VM, other machines virtual Linux development/test came very well.

Has anyone ever seen this problem?

Thank you

Germano

Very strange.

The disks are vmdk or RDM?

PS: you consider using the LABEL or UUID option in/etc/fstab mount configuration to avoid this problem?

  • Changing the order of the drives using the VI SDK

    Hello

    I'm changing the order of the discs using the VI API SDK. Can anyone help me in doing this. Currently I have remove all the diskdevices and make a ReconfigureVM_Tak followed by adding disk devices in the order of the prefeered and new call to the ReconfigureVM_Task.

    On this I finish by adding records in the same order, which has been defined as a prerequisite for these operations.

    Any kind of help in this is apprciated.

    THX,

    Germain

    So my question is why exactly are you doing this? If the disks are empty, then simply put any drive you want to be the first and foremost.

    The label "Hard disk X" is just to let you know how many disks is attached and which adapter/SCSI bus is on. If you have added disk0-2 and you remove and you add back them in reverse order, then disk2 will now label 'disk 1' since this is the first record added. What really matters is the map/bus it's on, because the OS will see the readers in a certain order, which is what I think that where it counts.

    At this point, you will never get the labels to be "inverted" because the labels are generated to ensure uniqueness through the number of disks.

    I hope this makes sense, so the recommendation is to order the disks in the order in which you want the OS to see it, that will be by selecting the map/bus

    for example SCSI0:0, SCSI0:1, SCSI0:2...

  • Vista will not automatically re - connect to mapped the drive at startup

    Mark
    Thank you for your response.  I checked the settings of name for the Working Group was the same for the wireless and Ethernet.

    Hello again,

    My best guess is that it does not the connection until after office expenses, long after that a check is made to mapped drives.  It's one of the downfalls of cordless use.  It is not the best choice if a stable network connection is necessary for treatment.

    The solution?  Use a wired connection, or connect the drives mapped after start (double-click on them). Brent

  • DVD player does not appear error - the driver may be corrupted or missing. Code 39, fix the driver installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    Original title: drive does not appear, difficulty he pilot installation fails, virtual drives don't work - same results if the material under tension

    A few weeks ago, as my two DVD players (the two Samsung Lightscribe SH-S223Q of) disappeared after a repair installed, I did for the other problems (not sure if it was directly after installation because I don't notice it right away, but it was no doubt). In Device Manager, it gives the message:

    "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) »

    I tried the Microsoft Fix It tool (Mats_Run.dvd.exe) that detects the problem and says "Install device driver" in a popup, but then he says "software device driver failed to installed. At the end it says under the issue, the "CD/DVD drive is not detected" and the status of Fix 'not set '. Note that, when I boot from another hard drive (with Vista 64 on it installed from the same DVD, just a new installation) disks appear very well. Also I can boot from the drive as well.

    I can't do a repair installation, since it must initiate Windows, and I can't load the disc. I tried to update my BIOS but that has no effect.

    Recently I actually moved this hard drive to another one, with another brand of hard drive and all the rest. Just like before, if I boot from another hard drive (this one with Windows 7), the drive unit-a Optiarc AD-7230 s - looks and works, and I can also boot from the drive at startup. But since the drive hard as I want to use, the drive does not appear. Fix it, etc. Device Manager gives the same messages as before.

    I tried virtual drives - Daemon Tools Lite and Virtual Clonedrive. When I try to add virtual devices to help, nothing happens. The new drive will be displayed in the Manager of devices, but with the same error Code 39 as the real drive.

    What are my options at this point? How can I get the drive to appear or to fix my copy of Windows?

    I could solve this problem. I started in Ubuntu and deleted the existing cdrom.sys, cdrom.inf etc. files (as in Windows, they were protected and I couldn't delete them), then I copied the files from another installation of Vista I had on another hard drive. After having done that, I updated the drivers in device, disabled/enabled readers and readers management that presented themselves.

  • RN102 - please remove inactive volumes in order to use the drive - data loss

    ReadyNas 102, 1 x 1 TB of disk (in 2nd driving position), belonging to 10 days, using 6.2.5

    If I go to actions it says: no volume or USB drives. It is recommended to create a volume before you set up other...

    If I had 2 drives (copies of each other) would I still lost all of these data. It seems that the reliability of disc is not my main concern, but the speaker.

    I've never had a pc lose all his data by car, make it look training crashed as the s/w me invites to use it. It looks like the o/s meta data, manage the contents of the disk are broken down.

    Is this code issues I may be courses?

    You have the USB key with the encryption key connected to the NAS Server? The key must be plugged to the volume mounted power.

  • order of the shutter with APT driver

    Hello

    I'm quite new to Labview. I want to remote control a SH1 shutter with controller of tsc001 within a Labview VI.

    I have seen that we can use activex objects to insert a driver APT in a Labview VI (thorlabs drivers for control of the movement, see http://www.thorlabs.com/images/TabImages/GuideToLabVIEWandAPT.pdf, and http://www.thorlabs.com/tutorials/APTProgramming.cfm). Unfortunately, there are a lot of activex objects (APT Chopper / laser / motor / tec controls) but not the order of the shutter I need.

    can someone help me please? Thank you very much

    Damiano

    Thorlabs gave me the answer, it's here if anyone should face the same problems: to communicate with a solenoid tsc001 control shutter use the activex MG17motor, instead of APTPZMotor. Then everything works perfectly.

  • PC tries to boot from external USB instead of the internal hard drive at startup

    Hi, I just took delivery of a refurbished Pavilion p6793. I noticed that the system does not boot if I have my external USB drive connected. It happens with one cannot find the message of charger and asks me to hit ctrl-alt-del to restart. I suspect it's because it's the search for the o/s on USB instead of the internal hard drive. Can you tell me what I need to check and change to allow me to boot from the hard drive even if the drive is connected. Thank you.

    Hello:

    You should probably go into your BIOS by pressing F10 at HP welcome screen and changing the options in the start for the HDD menu start the first.

    Then you can set the boot for other devices as you order please.

    Make sure that you save your settings, where you made the change, and again when you go out.

    When you specifically want to start on a device, press the F9 key to the HP welcome screen and you will be presented with a single boot options menu where you can choose from any one of the bootable devices listed.

  • Windows does not recognize the DVD drive at startup

    Laptop: Dell E6410 ATG wt / verzion A15 Bios

    OS: Windows 7 SP1 with the latest updates.

    The question I have is when I log on Windows 7, the laptop does not recognize the DVD drive. The reader will not be displayed in my computer or Device Manager. I can get around this physically ejecting the disc and reinsert. If I do this drive appears in my computer Windows and Device Manager. It will read DVDs and CDs fine. I am able to reproduce the problem above mentioned question if I restart the laptop. If I restart the laptop the DVD drive won't be recognized and reinsert the drive will get it appears again.

    This problem occurs if I try a DVD - RW drive and an old DVD - ROM drive. If I go into the BIOS before windows, I can see the BIOS recognizing drives ok but not when initially get into Windows without having to eject and inserting the disc.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I guess that this must be a hardware problem then.

    Seems odd.

    The only other thing I can think of, after reinstalling W7, is a BIOS problem eventually. A strange setting it may be an older version of BIOS with a bug in it. If you decide to update the bios, make sure that you get the latest version for your make and model PC and follow the instructions. You can destroy a PC with bad BIOS or update the procedure.

    Hello

    Go Device Manager... Sound, video and game controllers, and see if you have triangles yellow error next to your audio devices...

    My guess would be that you need to update the drivers for your audio devices.

    You should be able to find the drivers + Support Web site for your computer model...

    If not, find the number\model Audio chip and watch there chip manufacturers website for updates...

    I don't know if the audio problem is a single chip, or is part of your graphics device...

    If you don't find anything wrong in the audio, you can check that.

  • Question seeks to clean install 10 Windows on the drive of the merger. El Capitan.

    Problem: try a clean install of Windows 10 via the Boot Camp Assistant on an iMac 27 inches (Late2013) with 10.11.4 installs hours (more than 8 hours) and then failed to install Boot Camp updates. Essentially installation take much long than normal and cannot install updates of the Apple software or create normally start Windows Boot Camp 10.

    Background: After problems of slowing down after upgrading to 10.11.4 (with improved Bootcamp Windows 10) who had previously worked fine for 10 months, to the point of a start of OS X time, I decided to do a clean install of my iMac with Fusion 3 to disk.

    As I was unable to remove the partition from Boot Camp through BCA because of his holding always at the same load, I used Internet recovery and reset the Fusion drive. This then required me to repair the partition of Fusion by car through THE "fix" option which seems to work very well. And reinstalled OS X 10.11.4 which works fine now (delays etc..)

    Try using BCA to create a new partition Boot Camp and a clean Windows 10 install after downloading an image of disk W10 directly from Microsoft (Win10_1511_1_English_x64), BCA by downloading software updates and by selecting the desired partition, it began to restart and initialize the installation. However the whole process has been very slow, each step takes much longer than usual, to progress. Leave for hours rest a blank screen or with a circle of rotation.

    I tried with another stick USB 3 and also a USB 2 stick, but none has made a difference.

    In the last attempt, I left running overnight and after 8-9 hours, he finally reaches the top of desktop Windows 10 and the update of Apple Bootcamp starts to load updates. However, he just hung and even after 2 hours, nothing was. Reboot and try once again has been the same.

    After that I tried to create a Windows Installer via BCA 8.0 however it gives just a TPG error when you try to select the drive (due to el Capitan I guess?)

    After four days of efforts, I'm a loser on how to get the Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition. I can't even install W8 and upgrade due to the error of TPG.

    Any help or suggestions how to proceed with the diagnostic / resolution of the problem would be appreciated.

    Details:

    System: iMac (27 inch, end of 2013), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 M 4096 MB, OS X 10.11.4

    • Nothing other than the keyboard and mouse attached via the USB ports, as well as the key USB of BCA. No other attached devices.
    • Reset memory NVRAM, SMC and ran more than once disk utility. No problem not reported.  Ran NVRAM reset before each attempt.
    • At ran EtreCheck report which seemed OK.
    • Verification of diagnosis ran who is childless.

    A detail I noticed after the merger by car there are now two Macintosh HD images when you use boot option. One previously. Are named "Macintosh HD" and "Macintosh HD2". I remember being Yosemite simultaneously in three, but which has been fixed in an update.

    In addition, it seems that no recovery partition. Cmd + R lance Internet recovery.

    Summary:

    Q1: Should it take 4 + hours to install Windows 10 via BCA?

    Q2: Al must ultimately be so slow when initially W10 desktop?

    Q3; What I do once I arrive at the office of W10 but it automatically updates the graphics driver as BC update is simply suspended for centuries and get a working driver to restart at least W10?

    Q4: is there a problem with the disk HARD the Drive of Fusion that is causing all this delay and slow install / boot? ON the clean install OS X 10.11.4 it is back to be fast as usual and all tests show things are OK but W10 goes on the part of the HARD drive. No way to verify this beyond diagnosis or Etrecheck?

    Q5: Y at - it no problem with the GPT / MBR that may be causing the delay etc. ?

    Q6: How can I use my existing WindowsImageBackup backup from the previous W10 with the BCA install usb drive or how to create a USB stick otherwise recovery disk with my other single Mac have W7?

    Q7: How can I install W8 as I once did on Yosemite, via el Capitan without a mistake to TPG on selection of disc?

    Details:

    Day 5. Attempt at 6.

    Partition Boot Camp delete and try again install via BCA. First question, is that when the startup it goes to a blank black screen. For a time nothing left. Reset then using alt to select windows training results in almost instantaneous startup of the BCA message created and the beginning of the installation.

    4 1/2 hours from start of Windows 10 initial signature window.

    Then the second question. One to reach the Boot Camp update Office tries to start and install the drivers. Allows you to "list files...". "stage then sits at the bar about 5% green for 1 to 2 hours and does nothing. All actions in the Office of the W10 takes ages.

    In the meantime, auto update of the W10 appears a message saying that the updated graphics drivers as one of the few messages or actions during this period. Looks like Nvidia install with the entire package of experience (unwanted) etc. and very probably not the correct gpu driver.

    Finally deciding to cancel the installation of BC by killing the Setup.exe process. Then copy Boot camp install files on the desktop. Lasts 30 minutes to copy. Run again and this time, although taking 15-20 minutes to download and install later with the success message.

    Check the graphic driver it shows a yellow exclamation mark, so the following Microsoft instructions I use the uninstall option via the device and then Manager (slowly) come on board to load and download the latest Nvidia driver on their site for the GTX 780 M for 64-bit W10 etc. The same thing that I had used previously. Slow with running the Nvidia Setup program again, but eventually it works only to say that he could not install as unrecognized graphics device...

    He ends up with Microsoft PnP driver so it's at least sufficient start and run it again BC of the figure updates as all other drivers have been installed. To restart, but I get an error of K-Mode that is most likely related to this driver graphic and not possible to start in the new W10 Boot Camp partition after 7 hours.

    I have a picture of W10 backup recovery (WindowsImageBackup) I've had in a few weeks, but it will not install bet for the installed W10. I try with the ACO created the USB windows but can't seem to get a way to get into recovery mode and to get the menu to install it. I don't have a way to create a USB W10 recovery key now because my other Mac has just installed W7.

    Finally I tried to count a reset of the Recovery boot up option but it seems that it will take longer to start.

    I also went to the recovery and selected Boot Mode safe, but it opens on an empty black window and he's here doing nothing.

    Looks like I'll have to restart on via BCA and reinstall and try and solve the problem of graphics in order to install driver updates from BC and restart to W10 and hope that with the drivers, it returns to the operation and the normal starting time. Then update the gpu driver.

    I used and installed Boot Camp several times with over the years including previously an upgrade of W8.1 > W10 I used for over 6 months without problem. I've never known these installation very long or ice once in Windows even for the initial start upward.

    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated, and this seemingly simple process has now expanded to five days.
