R210 with PERC H200 will increase the possibilities for HD

I have a PE R210 w/PERC H200.  The RAID configuration is RAID 1 2 HD.  I was looking at options to increase the storage capacity.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I read that it is not possible to extend the VFD by improving each hd one at a time to rebuild the RAID VD, then its extension to occupy unused space in HD.  There is no other HD slots available on the R210, along with options to do I have if I want to keep the current VD but increase the storage space on the server?

Backup, replace the disks with the biggest, configure RAID, restore from a backup.

  • BSOD drives when adding T110 ii with PERC H200 and SBS 2011 or Server 2008 R2-

    Bought the server next in November 2011

    PowerEdge T110 II

    ManufDate: 24/10/2011 market: 06/11/2011
    RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4) 1333 mhz UDIMM DualRanked
    Processor: Xeon E3-1270 3.4 Ghz, 8 M cache, Turbo, Quad Core/8 t (80W)
    RAID: Map Perc H200
    Drive: 2 x 600GB 15K RPM SCSI 6Gbps 3 .5in - RAID 1 Mirror SA
    SBS 2011 standard x 64 (works on Win 2008R2)

    SBS 2011 installed without a problem and the server works perfectly since December 2011.  Backups occurring twice per day to a USB attached hard drive external 1.5 to and OS patches applied on a monthly basis without problem.

    Company need more storage so it wanted to add 2 drives more (same spec as to purchase). I thought to try to turn the RAID 1 pair in RAID 10 set in order to keep the simple logical configuration (a single large logical volume which now seems to be 1.2 TB in size instead of 600 GB) - could get but not really someone to describe if it could be done for non-destructive way that requires not the complete system installation/restoration - so opted for just add the 2 new drives as a RAID extra 1 pair in order to not reach a stable, boot, partition operating system running on the current RAID 1 pair.

    Contracted for the Dell technician to come out to install 2 new readers, be clear that the service was not complete until I had an extra pair of RAID 1, appearing as a usable operating system.

    Technician arrived, installed readers, set the new RAID pair in the H200 configuration utility, rebooted the system and when the BONES began to load had a blue screen BSOD. Technician then disconnected drives newly associated (the level of the cables) to see if the system would boot - BSOD again on restart (both of now get us this "pleated" feel if you know what I mean). Then went into the raid configuration utility, removed the new raid 1 volume (which, by the way, is appeared above the one existing in the list - which is not very intuitive that one that has been added is Volume 1 and the existing old is Volume 2 in the utility). After the triple-checking that we had the right volume (it showed that 8% initialized over the other which was complete, as well as the corresponding drive port numbers), we have REMOVED the new volume (at this point I don't remember if we had replaced the cables for the readers to perform this action).

    At startup the system rebooted normally - we were all so relieved, don't talk over retries at the moment.

    Talk to Dell there seems to be a problem with the PERC H200 firmware or drivers. Has not affected the config initial of a single pair of RAID 1, however caused problems when you attempt to add another pair. Escalation of Dell support said that has happened several times with Windows 2008 (which comes from the SBS 2011) systems. They recommended that the firmware update and the PERC H200 card drivers.

    I turned to the technician and asked when we could plan the updates of the firmware and driver and told him that they wouldn't do that (not sure that I blame the poor guy, he was sweating bullets after the BSOD 2nd).  I explained that we have contracted for installation services which included ensuring that the pair of extra disk appeared also usable for the operating system and he said that I needed to talk to Dell that.

    You wanted to post information on issues with PERC H200 BSOD when adding disks on Win2008 (or SBS 2011).

    Waiting for response from Dell as to who will come on-site to complete the installation.

    Any info about the question to know if the update of the firmware/driver will solve the problem or if I can do with reliability a disk 2 RAID 1 for a 4 disk RAID 10 conversion without having to reinstall/restore system would be appreciated.

    There is NO migration route TO or FROM a nested RAID levels (10, 50, 60) on one of the PERC H series, so it goes from 1 to 10 of RAID is not an option (without backup/replace/create/restore).

    Firmware release notes do not indicate that a large part is added (although the "bugs" may be enough):

    -Addition of Support for > 2.2 to SAS hard drives

    -Small bug fixes

    I have not seen/heard talk of this problem (I don't have a H200), but it is possible that an update of the firmware can change the way it handles the new disks, newly configured RAID arrays, or even how it presents to the OS.

    Do you know if the technician checked to see if the original VD was marked as boot VD?

  • Change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    I have problems with a client of VMware image-level in an EMC Avamar backup.  So far, we have not been able to find information about this message in the backup log file.  It is originally the backup to take a very long period of time (on average 10-11 hours).

    2014-02-28 14:20:57 avvcbimage < 14681 > Info: change tracking (CTK) block is supported for this virtual machine, but was refused. This will increase the CPU proxy and consumption of IOP.

    We cannot determine why CBT is "denied".  Has anyone here run across this issue before or seen any other type of backup VMware image have denied CBT?

    Everything I checked watch that CBT is successfully activated since the file vmx for the customer to the Avamar config.

    ESXi host is Enterprise Plus 4.1.0 260247

    After spending some time on this issue, the ultimate resolution withdrew the Avamar vm and then add it again.  After that, CBT began to work properly.  It seems that there is a parameter that has been 'stuck' pertaining to this virtual machine that wasn't behaving properly.

    Original title: two processors

    In most cases, you will probably have to use these options, but they can come in handy. For example, if you think that a startup problem is caused by the presence of more than one processor, you can limit the number of processors used to boot the system by activating the checkbox number of processors, and specifying a number.

    Mr President I'm on hp xw6400 workstation it has 2 processors and I use windows 10 on it, I want to run the two processors at the same time to improve performance is anyway you can tell me how...

    Hello

    Installation is possible, however, the operating system will use a processor at a single time. There are also the prerequisites if you want this kind of installation. Even if it is possible, we have no advice to use both processors at the same time, because performance will always be bottleneck depending on the hardware and the operating system you are using.

    Kind regards.

  • RAM 1 GB upgrade will increase the performance of the Satellite Pro M30?

    My ram size is currenty 512 MB.
    I have the model Satellite Pro M30.
    As the old model, my laptop would be faster if I increase to 1 GB

    Hello

    Of course, the 1 GB of RAM would help increase the performance of your laptop.
    It must be useful for faster loading applications.
    You will notice also that your tools and other software will be faster.

    To upgrade to the 1 GB RAM, you would need two 512 MB modules.
    Usually the PC2700 DDR - RAM 512 MB module must be compatible.

  • Star Wars h.e. 15-an000nl: optical drive Swap with a ssd will void the warranty?

    Hi all

    I am a proud new owner of this machine, and since it comes with a 1 TB hard drive 5400 RPM and I am also a happy owner of an SSD, I was wondering if the optical drive with the ssd Exchange void my warranty?

    I read a little the other q / a and I see that if I try to reach the drive, with all the screws and the cover plastic to raise, I'll probably end by unsecured (actually is not very clear if it's for sure or I'll use a ssd tested non hp...) and since then to remove the optical drive , I just remove a screw, buy an adapter and you're good to go...

    So my question is: what limits should I beyond the warranty for you? It's just the opening action itself, or there is more?

    And since I write here, optical drive sata port is a sata3 as (I hope) the hard disk it is? Would you recommend this operation?

    Thanks in advance for any assistance received...

    The optical drive is an authorized user of replacement so you can put an SSD in an optical caddy and will not void the warranty but I do not recommend: 1. the interface is slower; and 2. You cannot start it. Unfortunately, access to the internal hard drive space is verboten and may void the warranty. We can speculate and say if it's done well, nobody would know and likely HP won't guarantee, but we can get official word on this, so the smartest thing is to assume the worst. If you don't care the guarantee and want just your laptop to be quick, we are happy to help you with the understanding that you risk the warranty.

  • Torch: OpenVG will increase the speed in real time for the scaling\rotating image?

    Hello!

    I have such a problem. I need to view the satellite map (not vectored) with the possibility of scaling on in real time. Map is a bitmap either 1500 x 1500.

    I'm doing the scaling that requires 480 * 360 for operations return the second part of the map on a defined scale, but it is not enough - it is slow to make good zoom in real time.

    Maybe someone knows is it possible to increase the speed by using OpenVG? (OpenGL is not supported in the torch)

    Thank you for your attention.

    Realization of OpenVG for play ~ 1500px x 1500px images, rotation & them staggering realtime works pretty fast.

    So if someone needs of fast image processing to use OpenVG

  • It is possible to combine hard disks to increase the space for the C: drive?

    My c drive is running out of space. However there enough space in the hard disk in the other readers. Is it possible to combine one or two partitions c and increase the space available in c without formatting. I'm using vista Home premium

    It is possible, if you format a partition you want to combine. If you have some data, you can move them to another place or external drive. Then I say you want to combine the D and C drive (you could do it with any other drive):

    1) go to start, then right click on computer and then click on manage

    (2) then find storage-> disk management

    (3) right click on the D drive, then click on remove

    (4) then right click on C, then click on expand

    Note that in this case, as I said information on drive D will be lost. So make sure you save them. It might be a question that if you install something on drive D, you will need to reinstall it.

    Drive D example right, you have picked any other player.
