• PERC 310 RAID 0 with drive in foreign State

  I "inherited" a T5600 with PERC H310 controller with two 500 GB drives, put in place by a former employee in RAID 0 (at least from what I can tell - I don't know why he chose the RAID 0).  After a recent audit of security disk 0 is the 'foreign' State on the screen of PD Mgnt and Drive 1 is online.  I searched and found a lot of info on how to import or clear the foreign configuration, but I don't understand this option when you press F2 on any page.  I can't tell if Drive 1 is bad or just considered "foreign" because they took the cable.  I was not present during the audit, and I'm beginning to wonder if they pulled the cable while the system worked.  He seemed fine after their verification, until I got IO errors when you access certain partitions (Oracle Linux 6.3).  After a reboot, I went into the BIOS H310 config and saw the following:

  The VD Mgmt page showed only the disk 0, RAID 0 group (no virtual disk or foreign Physics).

  The foreign view page States:

  • Disk group: 0, RAID 0
  • ID of the virtual disk: 1GB 465,25
  • Disc 01Physics: online: 465,25 GB
  • Disk group: 1, RAID 0
  • Virtual disk ID: 0, 465,25 GB
  • Disk physical 00: online: go 465,25 (foreigner)

  The virtual and physical disk for Disk Group 1 properties are grayed out.

  The PD Mgmt page shows 00 foreign State and drive 01 State online

  I tried swapping the cables and saw the following changes:

  The foreign view page States:

  • Disk group 0, RAID 0
  • Virtual disk ID 1, Go 465,25
  • Disk physical 00: online: 465,25 GB
  • Disk group: 1, RAID 0 (foreigners)
  • Virtual disk ID: 0, 465,25 GB
  • Disc 01Physics: online: go 465,25 (foreigner)

  Yet once, 1 group of virtual disk and physical properties are grayed out.

  The PD Mgmt page shows 00 State online and drive 01 foreign State

  Do I have a bad disc or just a bad virtual drive?  Y at - it a hope of recovering without reinstalling?  Still, I do not get the ability to import on any page of the configuration of the BIOS H310.

  Thank you.

  AZ_Traveler,

  You will need to do is to import the foreign configuration. To do this, you will need access to the controller, after, you will be on the VD MGMT page. From there highlight the controller in the list above, once highlight then hit the "F2" and select foreign Config. From there, you'll need to import the foreign Configuration.

  After this can access the OS and see if i/o errors continue.

  Let me know how it goes.

• RAID - 1 with 10.11.3 No longer editing

  Hello

  I created a Raid 1 with two drives of 6 TB using the disk through the Terminal commands. Everything worked well.  I've just updated to 10.11.3 and now the reader rises at all.  I looked in the disk utility, and he could not see. I ran the diskutil list command in the terminal and she also could not see the disks.

  Any idea what would cause this?

  My system disk is also a Raid created with disk... utility and it works fine. It is built with two ssds on a PCIe Sonnet Raid 0 card.

  I have a Time Machine backup of the system drive. Should I restore to before the update to fix the problem? If all goes well, there must be a solution. I can't have to 6 worth of material disappearing every time that comes out an update.

  Thank you!

  Well, then the drive is showing now.

  I realized that a reboot was not enough to completely turn off readers and then turn again.

  When I tried to restart the other night, it still does not show upward. I tried to reboot in safe mode and it didn't work either. I turned my computer off... went to work... came home and it was fine.

  My graphics card has a reboot that requires a reboot. When it restarted the car was missing again. I stopped and started place... and the car was back.

  Weird... but solved.

• SSD compatibility w/PERC S300 RAID?

  We have an old PE T110 first generation with a PERC S300 RAID controller and 4x250GB drives. However, because the controller is older, there isn't much documentation about SSD compatibility. Does anyone at - he had success the upgrade of any server/workstation using a PERC S300 with an SSD of any kind in a RAID 10 configuration?

  Finally, I don't remember what type of connector is on the existing disks and am a little confused about the difference between SATA and SAS. What normally comes stock with this system and which would need if I moved to SSD? New cables? Anything else I need to know?

  htc2010

  is it not reasonable to assume I could just as easily swap on each drive in the Bay, one at a time, with a SSD?

  You cannot mix SAS and SATA drives in the same array. Also, you cannot mix HDD and SSD. If SSD does not support the S300, then he cannot know the difference between a SATA SSD and a SATA HDD, so it can work, but 1) I wouldn't rely on it and 2) just know that real RAID controllers, it can be done.

  In the end, I don't know if she will achieve your goals. The reason why I asked is because you could just add the SSD as a new VD, then move the files of database, etc. on to improve the speed, but it sounds like a lot of work for little return. I just invest in a backup recovery solution, good. If it can work in a virtual environment?

• PERC H700 RAID 5, 3 disks, 1 Reporting failed and 1 predictive failure

  Hello:

  I have a PowerEdge T410 with a PERC H700, RAID 5 with 3 disks.  The controller reported a failed drive so I replaced the week last with a drive of new/refurbished.  Now only 1 week later it reported another drive has failed and the drive replaced as predictive failure.  Looks suspicious, i.e. I am doubting the controller card.

  I think updating the firmware of the controller first, but not sure if I should replace the faulty drive first, i.e. If updating the firmware could cause table failure.

  Also, if I install OpenManage on a virtual machine (host is ESXi 4.1), OM sees the controller?

  Thank you!

• UCS C22 M3 software RAID LSI problem with hard drive

  Hello

  I post here because I searched many hours for a stupid problem.

  I have a Cisco UCS C22 M3 with soft RAID LSI MagicRAID.
  I have two hard disk of 1 TB.
  I create a RAID array with the type 1 (mirror).

  When I run the installation of VMware ESXi 5.1 U1 I see the RAID array, but the two discs.
  I think that it is a driver problem.
  So, I install special with an iso VMware in the VMware Web site for Cisco server.
  I have test with ESXi 5.0 and 5.1, and 5.1 U1 but it's the same problem.

  I try to remove the RAID array and to install esx on disc one monkey. Installation works well, but in the boot menu, I can't boot from a hard disk. I don't know why I search with UEFI and she is disabled.

  I test with windows 2012, and 2008R2 to check if its working but in install I don't see also hard drive or the RAID array.
  I go to Cisco and download the driver of the 2G for VMware Linux and Windows.
  I try inserting the driver in windows install, but does not.
  I think that the driver for a hardware RAID card and software.

  I have try to disable the LSI RAID in the advanced bios "SouthBridge". After I disabled I don't know how I can do to start on the hard drive.
  When I go to the start menu (F6) I see absolutely nothing in drive.

  I test this on two Cisco server.

  I can't know what I can do now. I take a working installation tomorrow and nothing.

  I join you a photo of the boot sequence LSI.

  Thank you very much.

  Stephane,

  For what I understand, you use the RAID controller integrated, therefore, these drivers will not work you:

  -LSI 92xx

  -LSI 106xE

  -LSI 2008 M

  -INS 3081E-R

  -LSI8708EM2

  -LSI 9201< all="" of="" the="" above="" are="" not="" the="" controller="" you="">

  -CISO 1225 x< this="" is="" for="" the="" vic="">

  -CISCO P81E< this="" is="" for="" the="" 1st="" generation="" of="" vic="" cards,="" so="" definitely="" not="" a="" raid="">

  Pilots are organized into top level by operating system folders, and each folder of OS has a structured series hierarchically who become more specific subfolders so that you can find the exact drivers you need. When you navigate to a folder containing the drivers, it will contain also one or several README files that explains what are these drivers in particular.

  Here is an example of the structure of folder for Windows:

  Windows    ChipSet       vendor          blade-model-number             OS-version-number                All                ia64                Lang (contains language subfolders)                Vista                x64

  You need to look for: /< OS > / storage/Intel/C600 /.< if="" you="" are ="" doing="" the="" installation="" of="" the="" os="" through="" the="" kvm,="" you="" first="" need="" to="" un-mount="" the="" os="" .iso="" image="" to="" mount="" the="" drivers,="" once="" the="" drivers="" are="" done,="" un-mount="" the="" drivers="" and="" mount="" again="" the="" os="" .iso="">

  If it does not, you better open a TAC case that will allow us to put in place an additional troubleshooting Webex meeting.

• Reference Dell T610 with 5 hard drive problem (5x2TB) while create RAID 5 with all the HARD drive. :(

  Dear Sir.

  While I have already configured the RAID 5 with 5 disks, then the OS (windows 2008 R2) installation step I saw 2 separate partitions. and can I install it on the partition with only 2 TB. Another, we can't. So during my installation completed OS, then I can use only 2 TB, for another volume is about 5 TB can't do anything. Can I do the RAID 5 with 5 disks (10 TB)?

  I wait your helpful to my set.

  Thank you.

  silamay

  This is new server, there is not any data yet so I can reinstall. What I want is that I just want to RAID 5 until I started my DC project. I already look for how to convert to GPT, but I'm not at all.  I know that I can't convert GPT as the OS in the same disk but that is because I try to configure RAID 5 and OS, but while over OS I do not see another 5 to just see only 2 TB.

  I don't understand most of what you wrote.  You must activate the UEFI (below), then convert to GPT before installing Windows.

  How can I install on a UEFI system?

  The T610 supports UEFI, but must be allowed.  Start the BIOS (F2) Setup and change the boot mode in the UEFI instead of BIOS/inheritance.

  Your alternative is to create a RAID 5 using all disks, but the definition of the size as something as small as 2 to, then another RAID 5 with space remaining.  Each table will be displayed in Windows as a separate 'drive' - you can then install normally in the smallest 'drive '.

• ESXi4.1 installed on USB can't see raid 5 with storage 6TBs drive

  Hello

  I installed ESXi4.1 on a usb key, the server has a configuration raid 5 with 6 TB of storage. As we all know Vmware will see LUN 2 TB minus 512 b. How can I create LUNS over there? People mention extensions is there a way to do this. I am not concerned if it is supported so that it works.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Welcome to the community - according to the RAID card you have to go to the hardware RAID card BIOS and create logical Volumes that are below the limit of 2 TB.

• PowerEdge T310 degraded but hard drives show OK

  Thanks to all who read this and who will answer. I have a T310 who took over the company that I work. The server works, but I noticed in open manage the raid showed degraded and the light was flashing on the front of the case, I do not remember the model. The raid controller is a perc s300 with 3 500 gig hds in a raid 5. Open Manage hard disks are fine, said. I don't have an option to rebuild the raid. The only options I have are delete, assign/unassign and rename. I've updated open manage 7.2 to 7.4 and erased the newspapers. The light yellow is lit in blue but watch still degraded raid.

  The version of the perc driver is 2.0.0 - 0162

  The bios version is 1.8.2

  The serial number is [[[SVC TAG REMOVED BY MODERATOR]]]

  The operating system is windows server 2008r2

  Any advice would be appreciated. And when you're looking for the latest version of open manage there were several options. What would be the option for an iso of the disk we usually get in the box with a new server? Thank you

  The S300 may not report the discs correctly in OMSA and with a failed drive, OMSA may report that everything online, if the State of an array is degraded, you have a failed drive. Check the logs in OMSA to see if you have an entry for a failed drive. If not, go into the bios of the controller and look for the drive which is missing or locate the drive that says "online" but written in red, as is the disk you will need to replace.

• Satellite U940 - SSD drive shows only 11.22 GB

  Hello

  I had a new Satellite U940 - B484 Ultrabook.
  The first thing I did was finishing the wizard, then I created the recovery media (using external DVD drive) on three discs 4.7 GB DVD

  We have Windows 8 Pro license, so my friend formatted the system and installed new Windows 8 Pro, it seems Miss upward with the pilots decided to return to the status of the plant to find and download the appropriate device drivers.

  Even though we got the recovery ended, we have two questions:
  Major problem: SSD drive shows the only 11.22 GB capacity!
  Minor cause: a device in Device Manager does not work properly!

  There is no logical explanation for the SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  Think only entered in my mind was the ability to have the 2x16GB and the RAID (for some reason any) changed from RAID 0, RAID 1. But even if that's true, where Devil can I change to go to?

  > Is there any logical explanation for SSD size down from 32 GB to 11FR?

  You have probably installed Win 8 on the SSD drive and this is the reason why you have only 11 GB of free space.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with a 500 GB HARD drive and a 32 GB SSD.

  I recommend you to check the available on the SSD drive partition table.
  You can check in the Disk Management to win 8

• PE R510 of the SAS addition to the installed system with SATA drives

  Hello

  We have a server PE510 that came with 2 drives 2 TB SATA 7.2 k and a Controller PERC SAS 6/iR.   The servers of the machine as a SQL server (its original purpose) and later on, a busy file server.  The file server role was not originally intended for this machine.  What we are seeing is very bad I/O bottleneck during daily use, although only about a dozen people access to this server.   (I got the system extracted by pressing more than once).

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?   The existing SATA drives are in a RAID1 volume.

  Thank you

  Thank you

  I wonder if replace drives with SAS will help solve this problem.  There are 6 empty bays on the system.

  Replacement by SAS will probably help, but your bottleneck is your controller, not your type of disc.  There is no easy way to migrate a Windows installation of a SAS 6/iR to a PERC 6 / i, but if you were to move the PERC, you will see a substantial improvement.  The other problem is that, because you can not mix SAS and SATA disks in a virtual disk, you would have to do a backup/restore for the SAS VD (you would not be able to rebuild a SAS drive in the existing table to replace one at a time).

  Mauricej74

  Would I be able to add 3-6 SAS disks to this system (in addition to the installed SATA disks), in order to create a new RAID volume and move the files to it on SATA volumes?

  Yes, you can add the SAS drives for the system and more SATA drives.  Note, however, that 1) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports 2 virtual drives, while a VD can be added, and 2) the SAS 6/iR controller only supports RAID 0 and 1, would be so the only way to add disks "3-6" in a RAID 0, which leaves your data at extreme risk.

• I can create RAID 0 with the Satellite A200-23 s

  Hello!
  -----
  I have Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s.
  This laptop has two (200 GB) HARD drives.
  Can I create RAID 0 with this HARD drive?
  -----
  P.S. Sorry for my bad English

  Hello

  First you must know that the A200 doesn t series support RAID technology!
  Therefore, the RAID-0 is not possible.

  The phone supports 2 hard drives, but you cannot use RAID settings.
  The two hard drives can be used separately and independent of each other

• Satellite M40X - big problems with Sims 3 - help with disk drives!

  Hello
  I recently bought the sims 3 and unfortunately an error message appears saying "Disk authentication failure" I noticed after calling EA games and reading through many forums that there was a problem evident with laptops Toshiba and their ability to play the sims 3 (disk DLA).
  I did like the forums all recommended, and I have disabled the DLA drive, uninstalled the sims and restarted the computer. Not only could I not play the sims or re - install, but my computer did not recognize even the hard drive, he kept saying 'bad volume' etc.
  I got the sims on the computer and then re-enabled the DLA drive, causing my computer to close and show a major error on a blue screen.

  I then turned the computer back on, and it does not recognize the disc sims 3 more... It recognizes the other placed disks in the cd-rom drive... But now when I put the sims 3 in the player and enter my computer to open it it tells me to insert a disc into the cd player...

  My questions are the following...

  A.) how can I get my hard drive to recognize the disc sims being in the drive

  (B) once this problem is solved, how can I go about installing and using the sims 3 without disabling the DLA, which proved detrimental drive.

  (C.) other problems with computers laptop toshiba have turned around an individual driver... Metisha or something? My driver's - VOB COMPUTERSYSTEME GMHB
  Or something to that effect, which means that it has nothing to do with the DLA drive.

  For the person who can help me, that would be so so appreciated...

• migrate from Raid 1 to Raid 5 with IX4 - 300 d

  I am considering buying an IX4 - 300 d.

  But what I want to know: I might consider commissioning with 2 drives in RAID-1 and later on the road buy a 3rd drive to upgrade my RAID-5.

  Is this possible on the fly, which means that I can just put in the drive of the 3rd, and I can upgrade to RAID-5 without data loss?

  (Yes, I would definitely have a backup before doing this, but I want to go create a new RAID-5 and have the backup copy of the backup data)

  And I'll be able to upgrade my drive later RAID-5 3-4 drives?

  Sorry, but I think there is no way to change the RAID level "on the fly"...

  That means backup your data, Notes users and their share of privileges etc. better as all you network configuration and start from scratch.
