• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

• 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

  Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

  When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

  There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

• R420 chassis due heating controller raid card

  Hello

  We bought 6 Indian dell servers.

  We are facing a problem of severe heat on top of the chassis above the card raid with all these 6 servers.

  the server configuration

  R420 - hexcore single processor 2.2 ghz, 32 GB ram

  Readers 4 x 600 GB 15000 rpm
  (configured as 2 drives in raid 1 + 2 drives in raid 1)

  These servers are placed in a data center - the temperature is around 18 degrees C

  We are facing a severe heating up on problem of the chasiss just above the raid controller

  When the servers are placed one above the other as they are usually placed in a datacenter of the servers heat up between 50, 4-57 degrees celcius

  Support Dell changed the motherboard, raid card, power supply etc. of one of the above servers which is off-production (heating to 50.4 degrees Celsius), but the problem is not resolved

  Thorough review of the raid controller card, I noted that the fins of the radiator on top of map of raid controller - instead of being parallel to the open air is actually perpendicular to the flow of air and is actually trap heat

  the same card in a r.620 server has the fins of the heatsink in parallel to the air flow which remains cool

  has someone else in this forum has noted this and are facing such a heating problem?

  could you please check this and let me know the resolution of this problem

  the heatsink orientation of 90 degrees so that the fins of the radiator are parallel in the open air?

  Thanks for your help

  the dset report displays normal temperatures since it measures the temperature at the entrance (26-28 degrees C) and the temperature of the cpu (57-62 ° c).

  The server works as expected. There is nothing to fix. This has been reported before, and we investigated it. Our generation servers 12 had a massive overhaul with thermal and acoustic design. For this reason, the chassis can become hot to the touch at the back of the system, but it poses no risk to the system components.

  You can change the default fan control to increase the airflow and reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases, but this will increase the use of sound and electricity. Go to the iDRAC - iDRAC settings > thermal. Change the user Option to compensate for fan speed and set the offset of the fan speed to compensate for high fan speed.

• I can't spend S370 because RAID Firrmware update is necessary, but this is not for my RAID card

  Hi guys.

  When I have never upgraded my Ironport Web Security Appliance for AsyncOS 7.7.0 S370 build 761 upgrade, for example, he said thar RAID Firmware update is needed for this, but if I try to update the firmware, the system told me that this is not for my RAID card

  Thank you

  Regarding issue 1: it could be this new firmware is already installed.

  Look at page 3 of the release notes (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/content_security/RAID _...)

  After running the update of the firmware, the firmware upgrade package appears in the list of available upgrades even after a successful installation. The presence of this package does not indicate a failure of the upgrade.

  To verify that the upgrade is running correctly, you can run the upgrade script again after the machine has restarted. If the upgrade was successful, the upgrade script indicates that the device does not require the upgrade
   
  Regarding your second question: the software upgrade:
  -you have an internet connection for update servers (the upstream proxy settings check maybe..)
  -What is your version of the software running (did you check upgrade)? Maybe you should first upgrade to 753 or some other version...
  -Maybe the reboot will solve the problem?
   

• Looking for the number of right-hand side of a built-in raid card of R415 H700

  Hello

  I have a server with a RAID card integrated S300 R415 and I'm looking for:

  Dell PERC H700 integrated RAID controller

  to install in the integrated RAID controller connector. I don't want to use the PCI-E slot card just above a RAID card because I need for Ethernet. I like the 1 GB if possible but I think they devised only integrated map of H700 with 512 MB.

  When I search RAID controller internal Dell PERC H700, I get a lot of results, but could not get an exact match for a server R415. I'm afraid that if I get homesick, she is not right. Please let know us on the H700 onboard correct for a R415.

  Unfortunately, the only card that can go in the built-in storage location is a modular 6ir SAS or a modular S300, which you already have. The SAS 6IR has no cache and only supports raid levels 0 and 1 (no raid 5). To go with a H700, you must remove the current Ethernet card, you have to slot 1.

• How to install the driver for a Raid card.

  I hope that this question is of you and yours.

  I have:

  ESXi 4.1 operational on a Dell 1950. He has a basic raid card that works. This is the functioning and VM are stored.

  I installed a 1212 4 Areca Raid port cards. I have attached two Intel SSD's in raid 1.

  My Bios sees both the original and the 1212 raid cards and disks.

  Areca at startup utility says that everything is swell.

  ESXi is unable to see the 1212. I went to the Areca website and downloaded the driver for ESXi 4.X.

  I followed the instructions for all upward using the CLI interface. He begins to apply the patch, but then I thought that a meta.zip file is missing and things are abandoned.

  I went to the site of vmWare and downloaded their solution. Once again using the interface CLI things start to download but then I thought that there was no update occurred or the boot. Nothing to do.

  Here is the link to the drivers of the Areca. The installation instructions are great, but for the meta.zip file.

  FTP://FTP.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/VMware/ESXi_4/

  Any ideas? Thanks for help.

  John Ullom

  I had a similar problem with the Areca 1222 (version 8 ports of yours).

  I was able to fix by changing the zip file of Areca. In the folder while offline connection-bundle, you will find some arcmsr ARC - 1.20.00.15.vmk.100202 - offline_bundle - 262812.zip. Inside that zip you will find metadata.zip. Inside of this zip, look for vmware.xml. Modify the file as follows:

  Find the following text:

  You should now be able to install the CLI.

• Suggestions for a RAID card

  Header 1

  Currently I have an Adaptec RAID 3405 card, it is about five years old and about two of every three boot-ups, he negotiated one of the disks at half speed, i.e. 1.5Gps. To mitigate the problem, I've done as a "hot spare" HD Having replaced the cable without result maybe it's time to get a new card.  I want to do is get a RAID card allowing five internal hard drives (2 TB) and for future expansion also a SAS /... external connector.  Currently, there are three sets of external drive connected via eSATA and Sil3132 SATALink Controller. Latter is configured through external enclosures in RAID 5 and RAID0 respectively, so there is a single HD via the eSATA port. The system is of recent construction with an i7 950 and 24 GB of RAM. "' 'C' (System) drive is Raptor 10 K rpm WD, the" D "drive is a 1.5 to 7200 RPM, the 'G' disc is consists of four HDs Seagate 2 TB 7200 RPM drive 'I' is a Kingston SSD 128 GB which is used for caching. More combinations of external drive mentioned above.  In addition to change/upgrade the RAID card, I would get a late model SSD to replace my existing 'C' drive and use it to replace the existing "D".  Looking forward to your suggestions. See you soon,. Michael

  HI Mike,.

  We recommend to not to fill readers beyond 65%, depending on the performance degrades quickly at this point (beside SSD)

  I don't know that prejudice will agree.

  Intel Raid RS2BL080

  And then there is this one which is newer RS25DB080, but now you get up in the price of the Areca.

  Best software of management of each of them.

  Atto is the only other that we love.

  Nothing wrong with Areca.

  In all honesty I haven't used a LSI in 2 years and more. At one point they were my fav as comparable to those of other performance

  Even cheaper. We had some problems with them some time ago and stopped using their... also support was easy to get ahold of and well informed.

  Really, I don't know what the problem was with them...

• Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD7 video card + raid card?

  I've been looking over some of the new motherboards socket 1155 and found that this Gigabyte card allows more lanes (2 x 16 pci 2.0). Not this Committee would make a video card and a raid card?

  http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3646#SP

  Incorrect answer. Read it carefully, the PCI-e slots share bandwidth, so it's 8 x and x 8 or x 16 4 x more, etc. There are only 20 channels available for both locations. For the video you want x 16, so everything what he leaves is 4 x.

• Suggestions of Internal RAID card for config

  Hi people,

  First a brief summary of my hardware that may contribute to the discussion:

  MB: Asus P9X79-E WS

  CPU: Intel Core i7 Extreme 4930 K 3.4 GHz

  SDS OS: Samsung 840 series Pro 256 GB

  Various HD WD Black

  Case: Obsidian 900 d

  I would like to put in place a system of internal Raid that the case has a lot of Bay HD capabilities. MB Raid facilities on board are not too reliable, or so I read, so a PCIe card seems the best bet.

  Can someone please offer advice on what card PCIe is more suitable for this purpose. I would look at Raid 10 with 4 x Sata disks 4TB

• For about $200 good raid card?

  Recommendations on the best performing raid controller compatible with ESXi, which would cost about $200?  I'm looking for something tht supports hardware raid 5 and has onboard cache.  I keep trying to choose cards, make sure they are on the HCL, etc...  There are so many options to choose from it is difficult to know who to choose.

  Thank you

  Dam sorry I ask than before. as your system is a white box you will be difficulties because of the slot could.i you system which I do not use raid 5, but I backup of virtual machines using a program to my nfs server then my hard drive nfs server are in raid 5 that they are mirrored

• Is this a decent RAID card?

  I have three disks, a 10000 for OS and two 7200 for everything else. I wanted to have the two for everything else in RAID 0 mode and don't plan on adding any drives for a while. This card would be OK:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16816124037 ?

  Waste of money. There is no controller raid well below $400. Use the controller to the mobo or Windows software.

• ARECA RAID CARD PROBLEMS

  I'm in the middle of my new build system.

  I have problems with an Areca arc-1680 IX 16 Port.

  Basically the card is so slow, I tried several volumes of 2 x hd 10 raid 0, raid 0, raid 30 ect. the most I've gotten is 170 ish mbs. pics from top to bottom.

  I tried with HD Tach and HD Tune.

  Motherboard used:

  ASUS Z8NA-D6

  HD: Samsung hd103sj

  Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

  I tried the 8 available only 2 x pci-e slots. makes no difference.

  arec awaiting return to me.

  This is the second card I tested this week. So I have 2 cards that cost £££ and they are useless.

  any suggestions what it might be.

  Baz

  Baz,

  I tend to agree with Scott and Bill it could be the motherboard.

  You know I have the same card controller (12 port one) and I use the older Spinpoint F1, which are a bit slower than the F3 and my HD Tach results like this:

  

  Find it me hard to believe that give two cards this boredom and that is why I think that Scott and Bill are on the right track.

• Reference Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid card device driver

  Good morning community, I'm trying to find the Dell 2950 Perc 6/i Raid adapter Device Driver for Windows 2008 R2 Standard OS. Thanks in advance for your help. Modem489

  You don't need to load a driver for the PERC 6 / i in Server 2008 or newer version, the driver is 'native' for Windows.  If you think that you need a driver, I suspect it is because you tried to install and it is not all discs.  If Yes, do not forget that PERC does NOT support RAID/JBOD, then you must configure disks to a virtual disk (VD, matrix RAID) before they can be presented to the OS.  It can be configured in the CTRL-R utility (be sure to check the boxes of progress/Initialize options too).
