PERC 710 add physical disks for RAID 5 virtual disk and keep data

I think to set up a physical disk 4 RAID 5 array on my new PowerEdge T320.  That should give me enough space to last long.  I have two empty slots of HD.  If I need more space, later, I'll be able to add one or two additional physical disks without losing the data already on the virtual disk?  If so, how?  I don't see a way to do this in the manual of Perc 710.

Thank you

Andrew

Yes, it is "doable" later.  This can be done in the PERC BIOS, but it can be done in OMSA (OpenManage Server Administrator) within the OS.

One thing to keep in mind is the limit of 2 TB "floppy" Windows on BIOS systems compatible.  If you plan to 4x4TB disks in a RAID 10, that TB ~ 8 'disc' will be converted to the GPT and BIOS UEFI boot mode value.

  • Expand a virtual disk with new physical disks?

    Hello people,

    Pleas in law not to shoot me to ask what I fear it may have already answered somewhere and my research is poor and as still not turned up the answer.

    I'm relatively new to VMware, previous job was especially MS Hyper-V and is always to some extent.

    Hower to the point in question, I have a single host (VMware ESXi 5.0.0) with a single server VMware 2008R2 on her guest and the C: drive is quickly running out of space. The existing, aligned hard disk virtual hard disk has 10 GB free to extend the ramdisk with.

    Therefore, my thoughts are I might add an another one or two new physical disks and add them to the data store that is aligned with the virtual C:\drive to the comment server, I would then be able to extend the exisitng C:\ virtual hard disk with the new ability to drive two new physical drives added?

    Hope this sense makses, hoing it's okay and I get out of jail!

    Thank you very much

  • How many per physical disk VHDs?

    I'm new on the ESXi server.  My company is going through the transition from physical servers to virtual servers on one of our contracts.  The client has provided the material for us, but there are a limited number of hard disks of the 'new' server  The server will run three virtual computers, 2 Web servers and a database server.  Each VM has its own dedicated hard disk.  Our old server DB had 11 young readers and our initial plan was to migrate all of them in a virtual drive.  My feeling is that this will cause performance problems because the operating system will treat the separate virtual drives and physical disks and try more I/O that the drive can handle.  I think it might be better to move to a few large virtual drives and their partition into 11 partitions.  Any ideas on that?

    For the DB (assuming that MSSQL server), you should have an OS vmdk, one for data files, one for the transaction logs files and possibly one for tempdb files.

    That should be enough. It would be better to place the data, logs, and the Tempdb on high performance specifien 9VMFS built RAID 10) but of course, we can always what we want.

  • Can I access physical disks inside VMware Workstation?

    Hey there,

    I'm curious to know if it is possible to access the physical hard drives within a real operating system.  Lets say I am running Windows XP inside VMware workstation and I have an additional physical hard drive installed in my computer (we'll call it E drive in the operating system of the host that is Windows Vista).

    I want to access drive E in the virtual Windows XP for storage space.  Is it possible to do?

    Now suppose another scenerio,

    I have drive G in my host OS and it contains all sorts of delicious data I want to see the inside of my virtual Windows XP and maybe even add some other delicious from within the virutal OS files.  Is this also possible?

    Thanks in advance, I did a lot of research and could not find anything regarding these issues.

    The answer is Yes.  Under the parameters of the virtual machine, you can add, and then select the physical disk, and choose the drive to mount.  It's good if you have a physical drive side that does not use the computer itself.

    Now if you want to just copy or move files 1-2 here and there in your physical machine to the virtual, you can still drag and drop between two desktop computers.  Another great way to transfer files is to do it via network shares.  I wouldn't ride the host o/s of hard disk to the virtual machine to a few files and then just pull...

  • Prepare to use a physical disk or an unused Partition

    VMWare Workstation version 8.0.4 build-744019

    SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

    Host HW: 8 GB, Intel Core I7-2670QM 2.2 GHz (4 cores, 8 wires)

    I have a 512 GB SSD (OCZ Vertex 4) in my machine, bought specially to speed up the construction process of the cores for embedded systems.

    I installed Windows 7 64 bit on this SSD and booting from it. I shrunk the drive in Windows 7 diskmanager and released a 100 GB partition to use for a virtual machine running Windows 7 32 bit.

    Training VMWare this 100 GB on disk 0 partition format the easy installation. The Windows 7 installation screen displays this error in step "copying files...". ». The error is 0 x 80070057.

    The States of using VMWare guide (on page 14, under the title 'Prepare to use a disc or unused physical Partition'):

    On Windows Vista and Windows 7 hosts, you cannot use the system partition or physical disk that

    contains, in a virtual machine.
    I just read that I can't do what I'm doing? I can't use a partition on the physical disk that is used to start the host for a virtual machine operating system?
    What is the technical reason for this? Is this something that will be possible in the future (or even now with a workaround) or is it something that is technically simply not possible?
    The reason for me trying to create a virtual machine that has direct access to my SSD is to speed up the virtual machine. I use it to build kernels. Build a kernel 'natively', so outside of a VM, takes 5 minutes. The same core within a virtual machine of construction takes 30 minutes, and it's on a virtual machine that has files of virtual disk it's on this same (very fast) SSD.
    Is there another way to speed up my built inside the virtual machine? The bottleneck is disk access. It's just terribly slow in the VM and lightning fast outside.

    I hope someone can give me some advice! Thanks in advance!

    You can only assign physical drives in a virtual computer with a crowd of Win7 so player set 'offline '.
    Otherwise, you will encounter problems just after starting the virtual machine - the host then banned access to training and the virtual machine stops

    Of course, you can NOT set the drive system 'offline' on a host with a single disc.

    The performance of a physical disk and a preallouee vmdk should be almost the same.

  • Acer R7 - 571 level disk cache to large SSD to the boot drive and keep the traditional HARD drive.

    Is it possible to replace the drive 24 GB of cache in the R7-571 with a larger SSD (say 128 GB and 256Go) to use as the startup disk and keep the traditional disc for storage on the other?

    I saw the references to individuals 'redevelopment' of SSD, but normally they keep the 24GB disk cache and upgrade their traditional 500 GB drive?
    If it is possible to replace the disk cache of 24GO, it seems silly to keep it and throw a perfectly good car. Seems would not be much point in having the disk cache if your main player is an SSD.

    Yes, I put a 128 GB Plextor M5M in my mSATA port. Make sure that you first create a USB recovery, then open the R7 and replace 24GO with your new mSATA disk drive.

    Make sure that your new mSATA, not ordinary SATA SSD!

I ordered a SAS-2 10 146 k disk Seagate 2.5 "to add to the Bay RAID-5 storage, making it a 5-disc set. What is the best way to add the drive to the RAID-5 array without losing any data? I have OpenManage Server Admin on the server.

    You can use OMSA... go in storage, PERC, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for your RAID 5.  This will add the disk to your RAID 5, then you will need to adjust the partitions in Windows once it is completed.
