• PS6210X with 24 1.2 TB in RAID 50 SAS drives, how RAID 5 sets?

  We have a PS610X with 24 discs of 1.2 TB SAS (10,000 rpm, model HUC101212CSS600).

  The unit is currently configured in RAID 50 and has two parts. How RAID 5 sets are configured in fact? Is - this 2 x 11 or 2 x 6 + 2 x 5 or something else?

  Is it still considered safe to perform this configuration in RAID 50, or are we better off the coast of conversion to RAID 6?

  Hello

  The 6210 X creates two RAIDsets.

  The suggestion of using RAID6 is 7200 TPM NL - SAS become increasingly large, rebuild times are multiplying so.  That widens the window of vulnerability for a double error condition is another drive that RAIDset must fail.   However, with disks SAS 10 K / 15 K being so much smaller that window is still a bit small.

  That a lot depends on your needs.  I prefer R6 on R50 with a 6210 especially since there support the unloading for the calculation of parity.  To reduce the overhead costs of double parity.

  Good thing is that you can convert into R6 at any time of the R50.

  If you have installed SANHQ you can review your load, then use the RAID evaluator to see if R6 will always be you provide write IOPS / s you need.

• Noob setting mobo RAID 0 - traps?

  Gentlemen.

  I read at least 500 threads on this forum, and thank you all for your hard work. I would like to ask another question, if you don't mind.

  I'll put up a RAID 0 - my first time creation motherboard RAID. I would like to avoid a calamity. I have built about 20 computers in my time, so I don't know the General layout. I read up on threads of the evil of hard drive. I think I have usable material, even if the drives WD 640 GB Caviar Black, I intend to use as the RAID drives could run against the WDTLER problem in time. I can live with the risk.

  1. I've seen, from time to time, mentions that a RAID must be put in place before installing the operating system. It is a question, I have to solve before going any further. My motherboard is an ECS A885GM-A2. You can see that I'm not a high-end user. Most of my material is 5 minutes or shorter clips of my students of mathematics, solving problems to a SmartBoard. Nothing too stressful. Also, I intend to transcode my intermediate AVCHD from Canon T2i of Cineform Neoscene clips to take some of the load on the processor AMD Phenom II 955 BE. Yes, yes - I should be on Intel, but that horse has already left the barn.

  2. my motherboard has only 5 SATA 6 ports. This means that I'll use them all:

  Samsung Spinpoint F3 for OS.

  b. (2) WD Caviar Black 640 GB RAID 0 pair

  c. more than 7200 RPM Hitachi 7K 1000 750Go for all Agency-wise sister

  d. the last DVD drive SATA port

  BUT * I have a Crucial M4 64 GB SSD in box with no real purpose. Should I replace it for drive Hitachi 3 year as files/zero page combo drive? I can just add it in - I have more SATA ports. Seems like a waste for one SSD, however.

  3 What happens stripe size should I settle? It seems that I have a choice of 64 KB or 128KB.

  4. any other really important problems when configuring a RAID 0 motherboard?

  I try to avoid spending 5 hours setting up Windows, CS5, etc to know I made a blunder from the outset.

  Thank you for all your help.

  About WD TLER, don't you worry about this at all for your situation; it applies to the parity RAID (not RAID 0) controllers only.

  Regarding 1) RAID 0 can certainly be implemented after the OS has been loaded. Setting up a RAID 0 pair after the operating system has already been loaded onto a single disc goes softer if the original boot drive is configured as ACHI as opposed to the IDE. If this is not done, Utility Intel can do the conversion later.

  Regarding 2) the Crucial probably would have been a good choice for your startup drive, the older Hitachi is better suited to your mixture as the SSD. The only possibility I can think of where it would be useful to add the SSD would be to switch the DVD player to a 5.25 "USB 2.0 enclosure (freeing a SATA port), adding the Crucial and reloading Adobe and possibly other programs on the SSD drive where"loading speed"would benefit your system

  Regarding 3) 64 KB

  With regard to 4); Maybe you are getting confused by the discussion about a RAID 0 configuration/programs/OS initialization, the addition of a RAID 0 'set' for an existing installation is really pretty standard, low risk stuff

  Finally, if you don't have a large USB key or another methold to save your image of the operating system and your data files, then that should be high on your list of 'next purchase. " And if this isn't in the budget, sell the DSS to help fund that!

  Good luck.

• R13 (R7 - 371T), Raid 0

  I read many reviews which mention that the R13 is configured in Raid 0. I want to buy R 13 (R7 - 371 T-78UV), which indicate the 256 GB drive specifications. This means that this model will be accompanied by a single 256GB drive installed and I have the possibility to add an extra drive in the future in the slot that would have been used to setup for Raid 0? To be more precise, can I add another disk without Raid 0 setting such that I can get the benefit of additional hard disk space for the already 256GB available? I read a review that said that the operating system should be installed again in order to substitute a Raid 0 setting. I did not know that a Raid 0 could be set unless 2 discs were present, but then I'm a novice.

  There is a correction to the original answer you provided to have 2 drives to 128 GB with a RAID 0 Configuration. The method has been done on Haswell based aspires. The model that I asked is the Broadwell Aspire model and comes with a single disc of Kingston256GB m2 (Kingston RBU-SNS8100S3256GD) that is customized for Acer after discussion with Kingston. In my view, that the dimensions of the Samsung model correspond to the Kingston so I should be able to clone the drive and use the disc more capacious. I guess I could wipe the Kingston and place it in the secondary location and use it as additional storage since I am not intereted in having a RAID 0 Configuration. Do you agree?

• Mac Mini server RAID spoil

  This follows a previous thread of mine.  Previously, the Mac mini server (2009, 3.1 I think) would not start.  The Apple logo and the spinning wheel seems forever.

  I found the boot disk and a USB optical drive and so I went in disk utility.  I got the software RAID 1 set up.  Hard drives were fine, physically, but the whole RAID said it is "degraded" and one of the volumes said it failed.  I tried rebuilding it but failed.  I did not delete the volume down, instead, I deleted the whole RAID, thinking that I would be able to start the disks as standalone.  Instead, or volumes are mounted, they not only mount when I click Mount, and when I turn on the machine, I now get the folder with the?.  No volumes appear when I hold down the option key when starting.  I tried discs of fixation of the Terminal and he says they were mounted with success, but they were not.  I must be missing something in the commands, I don't know them well.  I tried to create a new RAID array, but he said that all the data would be deleted.  At any given time, two RAID volumes said that they failed, and then the RAID array would not appear or appear offline as opposed to gradient.

  I screwed myself by removing the raid array?  Both drives are dismantled and their partition type is "Apple_RAID_Offline".

  Can I fix this and back up my data?

  I fixed readers are not mounted or named myself.  They are (were) mounted as an independent non-RAID drives.  They needed to be repaired and could not repair one of them says however, disk utility.  Disk utility also told me at my backup files and wipe the readers.  How can I back up my files if I can't start the machine?  There is no Finder on Mac OS X Server installation disc.

  Any suggestions?

• Qosmio G30 - RAID may not reflect new 500 GB HARD drive

  I have installed 2 new identical 500 GB hard in my Qosmio G30 with Windows XP.

  The system works well, but the disc cannot be mirrored. Report of the Raid Controller is 'Normal Operation status.

  This disk cannot be used for mirroring because it is outside the management of the RAID."

  Who can tell me whether it is a disc error or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

  > Can anyone tell me if it of a disc error, or is the drive of 500 GB to big for the toshiba with Windows XP raid controller?

  Hmm. I m not very good, but it could be possible that the 500 GB HARD drive is too big for the mirroring of the mode.

  But have you tried to change the mode in comforter Toshiba RAID you might find in Toshiba Assist-> Protect Fix & -> RAID Console

  Check if you can switch to the mirroring.

  By the way; RAID-1 is defined in the BIOS?
  Usually, when you use RAID-1 configuration, the RAID is set to mirroring. In this case, the operating system recognizes the reduced ability to both hard drives (in your case, it is not important since you are using the two 500 GB HDD).

  Check it!

  end

  HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

  Hello

  Ok. You have changed the RAID settings in the BIOS.
  In my opinion, you can use the CD of restoration with the default RAID settings in the BIOS.
  I mean that the RAID driver on the recovery cd was preinstalled and you have changed the settings RAID in the BIOS for the recovery CD did not work properly.

  Do not mix the original Windows CD from Microsoft with the recovery CD. The CD-ROM of Microsoft the RAID driver is not, but on the recovery CD.

  I checked the Qosmio manual I found on the Toshiba site.
  If you want to install the original WinXP you must safe the RAID driver on the floppy.
  In addition the in table settings BIOS RAID, make sure that the built-in HDD is set to 1RAID-0.

  The RAID in the BIOS configuration settings are described as follows:
  JBOD - parameters without RAID, Windows cannot be installed on this drive except by using the recovery CD/DVDs.
  1RAID-0 - compatible set RAID. Windows can be installed on the drive
  2RAID-0 - 0 for 2 hard drives RAID set
  RAID 1 -RAID-1 set for 2 hard drives (current only)
  UNKNOW - State RAID except the State and settings (State only) above
  No. Drive - no hard drive connected

  If you accept the settings you must type a string: 1,2,3,4 then enter. At the end you must save all change in the BIOS.

  You have suggested that you have the German language. If you want to read the manual in English you can download it from the site.

• Alienware 17 - R3, RAID/AHCI

  Hello

  I noticed in the bios that the original for two HARD drives I have is set to RAID.

  PM951 NVME & Seagate HARD drive

  I'm a little confused, cause I thought that this laptop doesn't have any RAID function, and if she did, why are two hard drives so inconsistent and configured in RAID? If anyone has any information on this, please share, thanks!

  The operating mode default SATA for any type of disk configuration is called "RAID", but this does not automatically mean that your hard disks are in fact in a RAID situation, because it might suggest - it only means that the storage is controlled by "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" (TSRI).

  You can check the status of your two drives by clicking on "Intel Rapid Storage Technology" at the bottom of the section "Advanced", which will bring you to a screen where they are listed as "NO physical disks RAID". Here you can select one of them to see more details like the Port, model and serial number, size, status (RAID or NON-RAID) controller (AHCI or NVMe) Type and Controller Interface (SATA or PCIe).

  Since the FIRST includes AHCI drivers both NVMe, you won't have to set up or install drivers specific for disks, regardless of your hardware configuration, now or in the future, as long as you keep the default "RAID" value setting.

• Aurora R4 - adding an SSD with RAID 0 HHDs

  I have a R4 Aurora with stock HHDs in a RAID 0 configuration.  I'm not ready to replace the HHDs as MBR disks, but I want to add the SSD in an empty Bay.  After reading the forum several messages a BIOS setting must be in for the SSD AHCI mode to be recognized (?)  What about my existing disks RAID?

  Andrew

  Hey morkunas,.

  If you changed the BIOS to AHCI, you would effectively disable the RAID of the two hard drives. Once completed, you could then install Windows for the SSD, where Windows pourrait see the file system of the DESCENT, but you would not be able to start it until you changed the BIOS to RAID. But in doing so, you will not start your SSD.

  Having never tried it I can't swear that it wouldn't work - but you could in theory, depending on your RAID controller, install the SSD as a storage drive. In this way, that the RAID would not try to link the SSD to what either which means that you can use it as a blank storage device. Which could be beneficial to you, you can create symbolic links to any games that you move to get the advantage of fast SSD ultra charge time.

  But there is no guarantee on this. And, if by chance, your RAID is set to 0 + 1 without your knowledge, it strives to transform your SSD in a parity drive. In other words, a backup drive for if & when the RAID had to be reconstructed. You can look in your BIOS to see what level of RAID.

  Most of the people don't generally mess around with this kind of thing until they are ready to start their system or do a significant hardware upgrade.

• PowerVault 725N RAID: How can I reflect my C: disk 0 to 1 disk partition?

  How can get to reflect the current information on the first partition of drive 0, the system C: drive on the first partition of disk 1?

  I got an emergency call in someone with a Dell PowerVault 725N, who I don't know.  Of what I read, it was established as a generally as a two RAID-1, one for OS C:, d plant: OS, and a great RAID-5 set all 4 drives E:.  He lost a disc.  However, when he lost a disk, RAID-5 was no longer working with one bad drive.  Obviously, that shouldn't happen, but it did.  I gathered that training was suspended the bus sometimes because sometimes the BONE wouldn't freeze also.  The fix was to remove the bad disk, which I did and copy data, much to their relief.  Find a new drive it in the city for her, and I put it.  This is where the problems started.

  -When I put in the new drive, it came very well, I wrote the signature on the disk and dynamic implemented.
  -RAID - 5 E: replicated on the disc fine, but not the mirror of the c: drive, I could not mirror, so I broke the mirror and deleted the "missing" disk it holds only 4 disks, and all 4 are there.
  -When I try to mirror C: to free space on the new disk, it returns the error: "could not allocate contiguous space or partition." before I can even choose the button change.
  -J' deleted the E: volume, the RAID-5 volume, to get all of the space on the new drive.  Therefore, I have a disk 0, with the OS on it in the first score, a 1 with nothing, put in place a dynamic drive and D: drive which is mirrored on the first partition of the disk 2 & 3.
  -Even once, when I matches of the C: drive, then select Add Mirror, I always get the error: "could not allocate contiguous space or partition.»  Of course, there is a massive amount of space on disk 1 of mirror to.
  -Dell pulled all the docs that people are used to solve this problem.  How can get to reflect the current information on the first partition of drive 0, the system C: drive on the first partition of disk 1?

  Thank you!

  After several reboots, read manuals and posts, try several methods without success, I finally found the problem.  It turns out, I had no chance to get it to work as it was.  The difficulty and the ONLY thing that makes the difference, without exception, has been updated of the BIOS by, 08.  After that EVERYTHING worked EXACTLY as advertised.

• Adding space with bigger hard drives with 3WARE 9650SE RAID

  My original installation of Windows 7 is on a RAID 10 set up using 4 640 GB drives on a 3Ware 9650SE RAID card.  I replaced the drives one at a time with 1 TB drives, leaving reconstruction table each time before adding another.   Now that all 4 are in place, I would have a little less than 2 TB of space, but it does not appear.  Win7 is installed on a 200 GB partition, with the rest of the disk space showing that GB 972 yet (that I use for file storage).   Any thoughts on how to extend this option to use all the available space under the name more storage RAID 2?  I does not appear under management of the reader and does not help the 3DM 2 with resizing tool.  This has worked well for the RAID migration when on the SATAs motherboard, but it's another controller.   I would prefer not to have to reload Windows to use the extra space.

• Problem of ESXi 5.5 and RAID

  So I have an ESXi host and RAID problem with a motherboard for Intel Server S1200V3RP. Basically, the problem is that the 5.5 ESXi host is not recognizing the RAID array set up with the utility integrated. See the images below for what I mean.
  
  

  Click here
  Click here
  Click here

  
  I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID. Although I may be wrong on this subject the behaviour of ESXi and each site Web I found says that this may be the case. I tried integrating storage and RAID drivers in the iso ESXi, I tried to update the BIOS chipset with the deployment server disk, and the management and I tried a USB installation with the drivers but nothing seems to solve this problem.

  Since ESXi does not the table as something other than dedicated disks, I tried an inventive work around by choosing the AHCI BIOS and install ESXi 5.5 mode host on a dedicated disk (volume 0). Then I switched back to RAID and used the Intel Rapid Storage Management utility to configure a RAID5 to three remaining disks. It seems to work very well and I was able to access the vsphere ESXi environment. However I couldn't see the RAID volume again on vsphere storage.

  I've plotted a plan where I could load the drives as individual data on the host and virtual server stores use the disk management utility or another program for RAID 3 hard drives together so that they appear as a single volume. However when I booted the system upward it appeared that the integrity of the RAID5 degraded after the addition of each drive separately (probably because he had to load a VMFS on each disc, thereby breaking the table). So this probably won't work (and even if it's possible, it's probably unnecessarily complex).

  
  Click here

  
  So yes, I don't have really a clear idea of the place where to go to get the RAID controller integrated to be read by ESXi. I was told that there may be compatibility issues between VMware and my Intel server model, but I checked and its on its list of approved so compatibility it couldn't be her. I guess I could just stick with dedicated drives and load the HARD drives as data stores, and then use software RAID across virtual machines - but I am concerned about the way in which redundancy will include when we drive finally fails (could I just Exchange on as a hardware raid?). I always thought that software RAID (especially on windows server disk management) smb read and write speed is terrible compared to hardware RAID.

  Anyone know a solution to this problem or where I could go from here?

  I did some research and my research has pointed out to me the possibility that this on the Intel Server raid controller is not actually a hardware controller but a piece of software built using the computer as controller. My research basically tells me that ESXi is super picky and don't play well with fake RAID.

  ESXi is not 'super picky' here. This kind of fake-RAIDs that are so common on desktop PC motherboards and entry-level rely on specific drivers provided by the hardware vendor to work really. And suppliers basically only provide Windows drivers in the first place. Any other non-OS Windows would be faced with the same question. Try installing a Linux and that you will not see your RAID volume either.

  Yes, your motherboard does not use a real independent of hardware RAID but a cheap RAID/fake-software controller. See the Intel website:

  Hello.

  I'm trying to set up a new HP DL320 G6 to run a single SBS 2008 stsndard VM.

  I have 2 x 500 GB hard drives, I want to run in RAID 1.

  There may be strange workaround solutions, but if your account on the availability, so really opt for the hardware controller.

• Dell PE 2850 Raid config for ESXi4

  We have a few spare Dell PE 2850 and will be installing ESXi 4. I was wondering what would be the best config. RAID 1 for the 2 first discs and then raid 5 for the rest of the raid just 5 all the way together.

  Thank you

  Out of these two options, it is greatly preferable to use one large set.

  However, performance will be better with a RAID-10 set.  Anyway, the controller must have a pile of work on the PERC.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.
