• PowerEdge 2950 - order replacement HARD drive

  We recently replaced among 300 GB three SAS hard drives in a PowerEdge 2950, after seeing 1810 Code error 1 HARD disk fault.  We would like to order replacement disks to have on hand, but must be sure that we order is fully compatible.  The reader, we have removed is Seagate ST3300656SS with Firmware HS09 and certified as a disk HARD of Dell Enterprose class.  I understand that just order a Seagate drive of the same model number is not enough.  How can we be sure we are ordering the right items?

• Cannot add ESX/PowerEdge 2950 hard drive

  Hello..  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with a Perc6 / i.  I am currently under VMWare ESX 3.5i using RAID 5.  I added another drive and try to add that, for VMWare.  Looking at the sensors, the UNCONFIGURED GOOD watch drive.  When I try to add through VIC using storage - & gt; Add storage, the disk is not there.  I looked everywhere to try to add this drive but its got the best of me.  What I am doing wrong?

  Ideally, I would like to add to the RAID 5 array, but from what I've read is not possible.  Suffice to just be able to add the period dang by car.

  Help!

  The boot server and press Ctrl + R and go to group configuration, look at the table manager and add the new virtual disk. Don't try to split the table 5 in place or you may lose your data.

• II of the PowerEdge 2950 not allowing for space HARD to be accessible

  Nice day

  I have an old server PowerEdge 2950 II (card: 2x3.0 Ghz Xeon, 24 MB Mem 1 TB SATA HDD, 1 Tb SATA HDD, 2 TB SATA HDD - Server data center in 2012).

  The question I have is that I recently updated the operating system from 2008 to 2012 DC, then installed an extra drive (2 TB).  I run RAID 0, and the system is only show a MAXIMUM of space disk HARD 1.98 TB, with the other Tb 0.02 table allocated to file systems.  RAID Perc 5i controller has all the three marked as online HARD drives.  BUT I can not use the additional 2 tablespoons in the table.  I was going to buy and install a 2nd HARD drive of 2 to SATA and RAID 1 go; but, if I can't fix this storage space not represented in the storage Bay I can't justify the purchase.  If anyone can help I would be grateful.

  So, you have three disks - 1 TB, 1 TB, 2 TB - during a RAID 0, and you expect to see 4 TB of space?  If so, see my notes above.  Each virtual disk (RAID array) is presented to the operating system as a separate 'disc'.  Windows cannot use a more 2 TB drive unless it has been converted to GPT.  First of all, the conversion to TPG is data destructive, so you will need to do a backup/restore.  Secondly, convert your boot 'disc' TPG will not cause it to start on a 2950 because it only supports UEFI, which is necessary to start from a GPT disk.

  Bottom line?  You need to rethink your configuration on this machine.  You could make two 1 TB disks in a 1 TB RAID 1 for the OS (in MBR and bootable on a 2950), and then you could add 2 TB RAID 1 for data disks.  2 TB, it would be unnecessary to convert to GPT, but if you have added more than 2 TB of space, you would then convert that TPG and use as many TB for the data that you can hold in the system.

  In addition, you realize how dangerous running a RAID 0 is, right?

• Secure Hard Drive wipe for Poweredge 2950

  Hello, I recently got a hold of a Dell Poweredge 2950 but until I can do something with it. I need to clear safe hard drives with killdisk (or something similar that will provide newspapers) and I have problems with what I believe, it is the raid controller. I followed these instructions

  http://sysadmin-e.com/securely-wiping-hard-disk-drives-on-Dell-PowerEdge-servers-with-BartPE-and-kill-disk

  and came very close, but it did not work. I have when I get on the use of killdisk for windows, I am able to see the virtual drives all named with the perc 5 / i but later I receive errors when trying to erase the drives. I'm starting to think that it is not possible at this point, the Active Server, but I wanted to see if anyone had experience with this or advice and assistance. Thank you.

  Why do you need to erase the discs on the receiving server safe?  It is usually the responsibility (desire and political) of an organization, before getting rid of a system/disk.

  Are these SAS or SATA drives?  You could attach them to a JBOD controller (PERC 5 support NOT of JBOD/no RAID), and then do the wipe directly to disk without the need to manage virtual disks on the controller.

• PowerEdge 2950-second map PERC to connect to PowerVault 220 s

  Hello

  I have a PowerEdge 2950 unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >) and PowerVault 220 s unit (Service Tag # NOTE from the ADMIN: maintain the label removed by privacy policy >).
  I would like to know is possible to connect this PowerVault 220 s 2950? I'm going to put this 2950 Windows Server 2012.

  Initially, this PE2950 came not with additional PERC card. If I want to add in the additional PERC card to connect to PV220s, it is possible to do?

  Hello, jindrax.

  So, I'm not saying it's impossible, but it will get difficult. The PV220s works with a PERC 3 or PERC, which is NOT validated on the PE2950 4. The PE2950 is all the time, we started to switch to SAS, if I remember correctly. So it will be difficult at best to find a card to connect the PV220s.

  Aside from that, using the PV220s with Windows 2012 isn't a good idea either. While windows may have a driver randomly for him, it will not match the firmware and will act "funky" to say the least.

  In this case, honestly you'd be best suited for a large USB drive (4to) and be in a much better position to try to mesh the old technology of today.

• Looking for documentation PowerEdge 2950 III

  The material does not match looking for PowerEdge 2950 III manual/documentation material... the documentation associated with the service tag.  Documentation that seems to be the 2950 base while the material is the version III with the - 7 marked 0 on the front disc.  More useful would be linked to the set, but if not, then at least the hardware manual.

  I realize this is an older system... but I need to be able to show what parts I might need to get from Dell to keep it operational.

  Sorry if this isn't the right forum to ask.  Thank you.

• Guard application launch at the start of the appliance, also need advice for the implementation of network methods

  Hi all

  I'm new to the development of Blackberry and I'm writing a relatively simple application to run on 7.1.

  So far the development was interesting, I managed to create my user interface using resources online (mainly this forum), but today I tried to implement some of the network classes that I need and now I just met constant problems.

  I use Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (the one that comes with the plugin RIM)

  First question:

  I'm not sure what I changed, but today I noticed that whenever I start the Simulator (by sim 9360) my application is started during the initial startup process. I don't think he did this before, but to be honest, I wasn't paying much attention. I think it starts at the start of the device is because I put a breakpoint in the constructor for my class from the main screen, which is hit before the Simulator happens even to the point where it is ready for user interaction. In addition, once it is ready, if I press the BB button, I see my registered application.

  I don't have it set to automatic start in .xml descriptior enforcement.

  I started this application on the HelloBlackBerry sample, here is my main method for the entry of the application:

  public static void main( String[] args ) {
          appSettings = AppSettings.fetch();
          // Create a new instance of the application and make the currently
          // running thread the application's event dispatch thread.
          HelloBlackBerry theApp = new HelloBlackBerry();
          theApp.enterEventDispatcher();
          //openConnection();
  
      }
  
  
  

  As far as I know, this is the only entry point for the application.

  More code

      public HelloBlackBerry() {
          // Push a screen onto the UI stack for rendering.
          mainScreen = new ScreenHelloBlackBerry();
          pushScreen( mainScreen );
      }
  

  Here is the method of. my class AppSettings fetch()

      // Retrieves a copy of the effective properties set from storage.
      public static AppSettings fetch()
      {
          AppSettings savedSettings = (AppSettings) _store.getContents();
          return new AppSettings(savedSettings);
      }
  

  Some of this code that I wrote myself, the persistence store cause the launch of my car?

  I tried to reset the Simulator to the factory settings, no change.

  All applications initialized during the startup of the device and then closed shortly after?

  Part 2: Need advice for the implementation of functions of network in the application

  I need to implement some methods that will retrieve data from a web service, and I also need to send data to this service. What I've read, the ConnectionFactory is the way to go. I want my application to make a request when the application is open and can check on a set interval. I didn't know exactly how to go about adding another thread for networking, I understand that network connections should not be created on the thread main event, so I tried to do this:

  The constructor of my class that implements screen (ScreenHelloBlackBerry), I use the following to create a modal dialog box to prompt the user for a username, I also try networking wire in the same segment of spawning:

          public ScreenHelloBlackBerry(){...initialize fields and managers, add it all together...then near the end
  
  //This will open the confirm dialog when the application is launched
          UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    openConfirmDialog();
                  //start connection - Possibly broken
                    ConnectionThread ct = new ConnectionThread();
                    ct.start();
                }
          });
  

  I don't know if it's somehow OK to do, but it seems to work for what I need. I want a user who launches the application at the prompt, and if a user switch applications, when they come back they wondered again (unless they close the app and reopen it).

  Here is my ConnectionThread:

  public class ConnectionThread extends Thread
  {
  
      public void run()
      {
  
            ConnectionFactory connFact = new ConnectionFactory();
            ConnectionDescriptor connDesc;
            connDesc = connFact.getConnection("http://www.google.com");
            if (connDesc != null)
            {
                HttpConnection httpConn;
                httpConn = (HttpConnection)connDesc.getConnection();
                try
                {
                    final int iResponseCode = httpConn.getResponseCode();
                    UiApplication.getUiApplication().invokeLater(new Runnable()
                    {
                        public void run()
                        {
                            Dialog.alert("Response code: " +
                                          Integer.toString(iResponseCode));
  
                        }
                     });
                    httpConn.close();
  
                 }
                 catch (IOException e)
                 {
                   System.err.println("Caught IOException: "
                        + e.getMessage());
                 }
            }
      }
  }
  

  At the moment it has basically unmodified code from a sample that I found, I'll be retooling to meet my needs whenever I can make it work. I HAD this work to the point where, after the closed user confirm this dialog, a few moments later a an alert dialog appears with the 302 response code. I don't know what changed, but now it doesn't work at all, and if I try to scroll with the debugger, I can't past the httpCon.getResponseCode (). I've seen some mistakes earlier on "no record of service was set up", and I also had once a timeout exception.

  I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but at the same time as I said WAS working, and now it is not. If someone has done this far, thank you very much for your time and advice are much appreciated.

  Also, should I try to start the thread of the network of the UIApplication class instead of the screen? There is currently very little happening in the class that extends UIApplication, do I spend most of my business logic out of the class of the screen and in the UIApplication class?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi all

  Just to conclude this topic for those who are interested, I found an excellent guide to the implementation of networks in applications of BB, click here for a link.

  About my application being started at the start of the simulator of the device, I found that on a device real this behavior is not complied with, and in addition, the behaviour seems to have stopped after uninstallation and reinstallation of my Simulator.

  See you soon,.

• PowerEdge 2950 HARD drive failure

  Hello

  Sorry for the newbie question, but I have the following scenario (where I have no experience dealing with the old servers)

  We have a set of old servers (DELL PowerEdge 2950) that migrate again (IBM X Flex), one of the old server is MOSS 2007 with 2 HDD, suddenly primary HDD is dead and in menu missing with setup. I removed old server on another HARD drive and mounted on the MOSS 2007 server and initialized. the question is how do I replace the HARD drive died with a new one and copy another disk configurations HARD live

  Please if you need more information just ask in answers because am new on this servers with 0% experience

  Thank you

  ---------------UPDATE-------------

  the current RAID is RAID 0 and I found that a backup windows (from previous system admin) file so it is possible to format the two HDD, configure RAID for RAID 1, install windows, and then restore the backup?

  also, I was reading this article " " but I couldn't change the RAID, so any suggestion?

  You need drivers ("hard drive" version, run to extract before use):

• Best network design... Need advice on the best use of NIC

  I'm new to the concept of Distributed Switch so I need advice.

  Our current environment is the result of a vCenter 4.1 and ESXi 4.1 Enterprise Plus, but we are just using the standard vSwitch (1 for vMotion/Console and 1 for virtual machines).  When the distributed switch came out, we were warned that a vDSwitch could cause us problems if the server vCenter or database is down.  We could not connect directly to the host and make network changes because the vDSwitch is set in the database.  That's why we stayed with the Standard vSwitch only.

  Our farm is quite small, only 5 hosts but we run around 100 mV in this regard.

  We use currently servers HP DL385 G7, which have 4 cards integrated network, and we have a map of installed NETWORK 4 port card.

  I use the NETWORK 4 EtherChannel ports and trunk card to our virtual machines.

  I am currently using only 1 network card integrated for vMotion and 1 for the Service Console and they all have two of the other defined as secondary.

  This configuration has worked very well for us, but I realize that the latest version of ESXi has some new features that we could use.

  NEW CONFIGURATION

  I'll put up a new vCenter 5 and ESXi 5 environment and I am considering using the switch distributed instead of the usual vSwitch we use.  I'm also eager to take advantage of the multiple NIC vMotion.  All our cards are 10/100/1000 MB capable... No. 10 GigE.

  I think... use that map 4 NETWORK ports for my EtherChannel/trunk for just as our virtual machine before, but this would be set to vDSwitch1

  The mixture of my 4 other integrated ports, it's causing me grief.  Should they be on a standard vSwitch or vDSwitch?  Use 2 ports for vMotion and 2 for the Console?  I really thought to use 3 ports for vMotion and 1 Console port.  I could put the Console port to use one of the vMotion ports such as adapter of standby is... I'm so confused freaking!

  Any recommendations on how I should put up?

  Hello

  Given that you can't split your vmnic for each vSwitch I would recommend either keep configuration simular with the knoweldge if a whole nic fails, you will take a failure or as autumn has already been mentioned on 'Origin Port ID'. Lets do this out and give a little better example

  Current configuration

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

  VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

  vSwitch1

  VMNIC4 - extension PCI NIC - Etherchannel trunk - PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC5 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC6 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Extension VMNIC7 - PCI NIC Etherchannel trunk-PortGroup - VMNET

  Now, to captured to eliminate any single point of failure that you could do is break your Etherchannel trunk and back this vSwitch from Port ID and Setup VMNIC2, VMNIC3, VMNIC4, VMNIC5 as vSwitch1 for your VMNET. Then the cable to multiple switches eliminate any single point of faiulre. If your standard configuration would look like this

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - on - Board Service Console

  VMNIC1 - Board - Vmotion

  VMNIC6 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion

  VMNIC7 - extension PCI NIC - Vmotion (standby Service Console)

  vSwitch1

  VMNIC2 - VMNET

  VMNIC3 - VMNET

  VMNIC4 - VMNET

  VMNIC5 - VMNET

  So to finish any request for psyhical nics on this particular configuration the Port ID of origin essentially around robins. If during your first VM is online it will be use VMNIC2 and nic forever, until a failure, in which case he will grab the next nic online. When your second VM is online it will use VMNIC3 forever, until a failure and so on. This still will give you around the same way through to as far as networking is concerned. However if you are attached to the trunk, etherchannel 4 GB and can obsorb a failure in case of failure, the network card 4 ports can stay.

  Distributed switching Setup

  Allows you to see how you can switch to distributed switching

  Let's start first of all, you can have EVERYTHING in switches distributed even the service console port if you wish. The resason why some people do not like to do this with the service console port is because IF your database is broken you cannot make any changes to the distributed switch. However it will not prevent a feature to your distributed it switches simply means, you can change them. Also if just getting worse and your DB has been declining for some time and you REALLY need to make a change to the service console port you can go into the console and change back to a standard vSwitch if need be. This allows the said look at some standard configs, you can work

  vSwitch0 (Standard)

  VMNIC0 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

  VMNIC4 - Service Console Port (Port Original ID or standby)

  vSwitch1 (Standard)

  VMNIC1 - Vmotion

  VMNIC5 - Vmotion

  Distributed switch

  VMNIC2 - VMNET

  VMNIC3 - VMNET

  VMNIC6 - VMNET

  VMNIC7 - VMNET

  Now this config using originating port ID and breaks your etherchannel if you want to keep your configuration with the etherchannel it can look like this

  vSwitch0

  VMNIC0 - NETWORK interface integrated - Service Console

  VMNIC1-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC2-Onboard NIC - VMotion (different IP or VLAN?)

  VMNIC3 - NETWORK interface integrated - VMotion (eve of Console of Service) (different IP or VLAN?)

  Distributed switch

  VMNIC4 - VMNET

  VMNIC5 - VMNET

  VMNIC6 - VMNET

  VMNIC7 - VMNET

  Other changes to the configuration may also put the vmotion in distributed witch the VMNET but you would to VLAN, or you could create a second Distributed switch and put it as long as there are 2 network cards. It can go either way. The main advantage of a distributed switch is that it brings all of your settings with you in any host. So trade ect all your VIRTUAL networks is really easy to reproduce if a new host is brought online, all you have to do is to add the new host network cards in the distributed switch and your config is done. With that in mind lets look at the service console. This console is always configured on EACH Setup program that out you of the box if not that you really need to have these parameters transported on several hosts that is another reason why most people just don't. VMotion is up to you, I have seen and configured two ways, it all depends on how simple you want to keep it or think of switching / vlaning / port of groups.

  If you have any questions please let me know, I hope this has helped
