PERC 6 / I foreign config disk / how do I erase a disc
Hello
I replaced a RAID-5 disk with a hot spare that already has a foreign Config on that. I want to delete the config to the hand, I can scratch the disc so it will be detected as empty? (DD if = / dev/null of = / dev/sda)
Best regards
Eddy
hottfixis this drive or the drives part of a raid configuration or drive tottaly does not work in the raid 5 or raid 1?
Neither. He is not currently a member of an array, but foreigners does not mean that it is totally "does not work". The controller detected a configuration on the drive that does not match the other (s) in the table, so he scored like aliens until the admin can determine the best course of action for this. It's absolutely a dangerous thing to (leave the admin to know the right thing to do with it), but this prevents the controller having to make decisions about the data, which makes it the responsibility of the admin to learn the skills needed to manage this live/die.
You have two options with foreign configurations:
IMPORT - must never be used when multiple disks are marked strangers simultaneously, including moving leads to a new controller/system, etc. and must be used when an array is offline.
CLAIRE - should be used whenever the table is online and only one drive is marked foreign (or several disks in case it's a RAID 10/50/60, but the picture is still online). It is usually the case when a disk fails (or is a failure) or simply disconnects due to a timeout, etc. and is often the case when replacing a failed drive in an array. Only after the cancellation of the foreign configuration the drive is possible a hot spare for the table in order to rebuild the disk in the array.

PERC 6i present foreign Config
Hello, I am relatively new to raid Perc Controllers and their troubleshooting.
I inherited a server that works very well in recent weeks.
Today, we met this error: present foreign Config
Curiously, it seems to be a problem of memory on the server e today as well. He showed a bad memory config on a Poweredge 2900 server. I removed the small DIMM and kept only the 4 4 GB modules.
It is a working server and I know of all the existing backups on that I just inherited from the customer (who had to cease their activities, but still to deal with tax information once per month)
One of the disks is orange flashing. The rest are green. RAID 5, 4 disks.
What should I do to get this unit up?
Thank you. See attached picture
owlieI hope this is the correct log file?It is the newspaper of alerts. Here are the instructions to make using OMSA controller log:
Once you have the log file, you can try the import. I suggest you keep the controller and the system/equipment for you event log records. You may encounter problems later and have these logs to make reference to could help in the future.
Thank you

I would remove ALL of my laptop which is running vista Sp2 and I have not a disk to install it from what can do?
Hello
Here are the different ways to reinstall Vista
Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it
they do it for a nominal cost of $
____________________________________________________________
also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought
you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer
Ask them of the exact key sequence
__________________________________________________________
or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc
Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer
they contain all versions of vista
This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

How can I erase hard disk dive
How can I erase diving hard drive that windows will not open on
"Wiping" a hard drive can not be done from Windows, if you are referring to the drive on which Windows is installed, so that Windows will not open is not a problem.
You must use a utility that sits on its own bootable media. Two of the most popular free tools are
DBAN--> http://dban.org/download
Active KillDisk--> http://www.killdisk.com/features.htm
Although the two products have free or commercial versions, the free version of KillDisk has a few more features (for example, works on the SSD, it's not the DBAN).

How to use a blank disc DVD-R as a USB flash drive?
Hi all! I'm running Mac OS X 10.9.5 on my MacBook Pro and I was wondering how I could use a blank DVD-R disc as a form of rewriting for documents, music, spreadsheets, etc. ? My mac Let's burn me to the disc, but I can't rewrite to it after that. Help, please!
They don't work that way. Rewritable means simply you can erase the disc and use it again. You can't write it during normal use of the disk. This, to a USB flash drive.
To be same rewritable, you can use a DVD - RW, DVD - r not it is not rewritable. You can look for third-party software that allow you to use the drive as a flash drive, but I am not sure that these programs exist. Not much need for it.

How do I erase safely an SSD so as I give it.
Hi people
I was wondering if someone can tell me how to clear my ssd drive so that I can give to my companion? I want to get rid of all the stuff on it and preferably back to factory settings.
When I first formatted, I haven't used pad or anything, I just format in os extended log and put my os on it, and then used Carbon copy clone to slap all my equipment out there.
It is grayed out in disk utility, to clear, so I should do through the closure to bottom/option key and choose the drive in this way and clear? Oh it was an external ssd used, and I've always kept my original disc mac, wanted just a copy to take paths and come to plug any other MacBook with my own stuff on him. Worked great, but I'm the upgrade and give it to my friend,.
any help would be appreciated.
Kind regards
