RAID 1 on Optiplex 9020 and Ubuntu Desktop 14.04

Hi, first sorry for my English

I am trying to configure raid 1 with a dell optiplex 9020 minitower, but at the moment it does'nt work. I have configured raid 1 on the bios and installing ubuntu start but then fail.

Possible that the od raid controller PC is not compatible with Ubuntu Desktop 14.04?

Hardware RAID requires a controller. You then boot BIOS and Partition and INITIALIZE the container.

You start live linux and to partition and to format and install.  You can't do that on the fly during installation.

The container must be initialized as a single disc BEFORE any os turns.  The container must be initialized as a reader unique regardless of which operating system you want to install.

  • OptiPlex 9020 and Windows 7

    Hello

    I bought a new SFF of 9020 Optiplex with windows 7 64-bit Professional installed, as well as with a windows 8 CD.

    I would like to reinstall windows 7 64-bit on a new SSD.

    How can I get the ISO for this version? I do not wish to install Windows 8.

    Thank you!

    You can not download an .iso. Microsoft has beat all the Digital River .isos and replace them with a non-functional tool that is deliberately blocking the Dell OEM Windows 7 licenses, you can see my video that proves (you use you don't have downgrade rights a unique Windows 7 product key even when and so would not be able to use this tool) :

    What you need to do is to create a Rescue Disk (external hard drive Bootable) or a (USB Bootable) backup plant using the latest version of Dell backup and recovery by following the instructions here that you can start from reinstalling your factory settings on the SSD:

  • Desktop OptiPlex 9020 8.1 of Windows x 64

    I just installed Windows 8.1 x 64 on an OptiPlex 9020 and had graphics using IE11 display problems using the latest drivers from Dell.  The problem was that graphics had a large "X" on the whole of the image.

    I was using these drivers: Intel 9.18.10.3055 06/03/2013

    Then I updated to the latest drivers Windows Dell 8: 24/06/2013 9.18.10.3220

    Display problems were still present.

    I then updated the drivers to the latest Intel (15.33.8.64.3345).  You had to do since the Device Manager as Intel blocks the process of executing setup.exe.

    Also after the installation of the whole machine is MUCH faster using applications.  Just thought I'd share.

    Dell, ETA, when drivers will be updated on the latest platforms to desktop and laptops Dell for Windows 8.1?  I'd feel a lot more comfortable, but there was a Dell "verified" Intel video driver.

    Hello

    You can try with the last Win 8.1 video driver Intel for desktop Optiplex 9020 x64Bit and it is available in the link below

  • Dell Optiplex 9020 fan slow speed

    Hello

    I'm pointing out the CPU of my Dell Optiplex 9020 and I noticed that the temprature rises and and the fan speed remains the same.

    I used a software monitoring temp to know what is the problem and you can see the main CPU temperature remains low, while the rest of them is much higher.

    Also, the fan speed remains the same...

    Is this normal?

    i5 / 16GB / 500 GB/W10 with all the latest news from drivers/BIOS using Dell order Update

    The fan speed when it hit 74ºC?

    The fan speed has increased during the diagnostics, which should have?

    You can go on the Intel site to check what are the temporary specifications for your specific CPU, if that will make feel you better. But same 74ºC seems not very hot.

  • Headset Beats mixr (microphone) - desktop Optiplex 9020

    Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to run this Beats mixr headset (microphone)-

    -with my Optiplex 9020. This headset comes with a simple plug but works for mobile phones, like handsfree for music, Skype, etc.

    I don't know if there is a chance to use it in the same way with my PC, I mean, not only for playback of the sounds, but also as a MIC for taking calls from Skype.

    In fact it is quite wrong. You can use them even on the desktop PC and phone. Anyway converts be it, throughout the day.

    The parties to do so are not free, but they are easy to obtain.

    You need adapters to convert the Apple Iphone IPAD ports to the red and the Green PC Ports for microphone and headphones.  There are a two way conversions.  So if you have a headset with Boom microphone and want to use the phone you cable Y return to standard Apple.

    http://www.Amazon.com/headset-buddy-smartphone-BlackBerry-01-PC35-PH35/DP/B00ENFA3GO

    If you have a standard headphone 3.5 mm T/R then you use a turtle Beach Amigo II to convert USB to PC. And reverse an adapter to convert for IPOD, IPAD, IPHONE or Android.

  • OptiPlex 7020 and RAID array

    Greetings.

    I bought an Optiplex 7020 and controller card SATA referenced in this post after you speak with a representative and come far from believing the 7020 and the SATA controller card combination would allow me to set up a RAID 1 array. I bought both the 7020 and the controller Dell card.

    However, after several conversations with the Dell and Technical Support Technical Support Startech, I'm still not able to get this working. I am able to enter in the configuration menu of controller card at startup in addition to being able to access the system BIOS. The BIOS shows 'Mass Storage' assigned to the PCI Express slot (as it should), but complains without hard drive being found when I try to start.

    Just for clarity: I'm not trying to use a built-in RAID configuration and try instead to use a controller card to take care of the RAID array. So I am (perhaps erroneous) belief that the 'RAID ON' in the BIOS setting is unimportant because the controller card takes care of the RAID array. BTW: My BIOS is not a parameter "RAID ON". I say just that to prevent an answering machine to take me on the way to the RAID configuration integrated. The 7020 does not come with built-in RAID.

    In fact, this Dell page said I need to "buy additional hardware", which is exactly what I did when I bought the controller card - or at least I thought.

    So the questions are: what should I do to be able to get my Optiplex 7020 to mirror the first drive on a second so that the second is bootable immediately in case one breaks down?  Do I need a software solution instead? Do I need extra hardware yet?

    Thanks in advance!

    If this card requires a driver, so it is probably not responsible until Windows loads BIOS will not be able to see the drives connected on this card to boot from one of them.

    And according to the Manual, the startup options are:

    To specify the order in which the computer attempts to find an operating system. The options are:

    1. Floppy drive
    2. WDC WD2500AAKX-75U6AA0
    3. USB storage device
    4. CD/DVD/CD-RW drive
    5. Integrated NETWORK interface

    Therefore, there is no option to say BIOS to get a boot on PCI - e drive.

    That said, it is made reference to the Intel RAID controller in the manual, which suggests it could work with this system.

    Win 8/8.1 and win 10, there is a built-in utility called "storage space" to create a mirror. Two drives must be connected to the SATA ports on the motherboard and probably identical in size. So give that a try...

  • Problem starting OptiPlex 9020

    I have an optiplex 9020 having a blinking cursor for about 10 to 15 seconds before the screen startup Dell and after the Dell splash screen. I have the latest version of the BIOS and use an SSD as boot drive and SATA drive as a secondary drive, the bios is set to boot only the SSD. I have the sata AHCI operation, the value of the RAID is disabled. This is a new installation from the CD from Dell on the SSD. I looked in the bios but not see anything that would cause the problem?

    Same here right out of the box.  In my case, having only the SSD in the startup list, gives "no boot device", most of the time.  Enter the BIOS, the SSD Liteon is no longer in the same list after adding it and re-record.  Update the BIOS does nothing to correct.

    But hitting F12, the SSD will always be an option and when selected, always boots.  It seems to be a kind of calendar of initialization when the BIOS examines the various materials.

  • Adding a second SSHD to an Optiplex 9020

    I would like to install a second internal hard drive solid-state in an Optiplex 9020.  I don't want to use these two drives as a RAID pair.  I want a second disc to be autonomous for the storage of data.  What should I set the Bios to ATA for the second hard drive to be initilized?  I set the BIOS to AHCI and started operating system, but the second disc was not available in the directory.  I set the BIOS to ATA and Windows wouldn't start.  The warning was real.  Replace the RAID BIOS and we are at square one.  I have to leave the game of BIOS to ATA and reload the operating sysem to have two independent drives C: and D:?

    Hi Mike,.

    What you need to do is to use disk management to partition the drive, then it will appear in Explorer.

    Good luck!

  • What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?

    What is the largest hard drive or the RAID supported by El Capitan and Yosemite?  Also, WHERE can I find this specification?  Drobo claims that 16 TB is the largest external RAID supported and I do not.

    FYI............ 2 UPDATES since I posted this question:

    "1. Drobo has updated their FIRMWARE to allow now to 'beyond' 64 power to RAID".  Thus, their original 16 TB limit has now been replaced by their new limit of 64 to.  Also note that when you use a Drobo, Apple Mac OS does correctly shows space 'Drive' and the 'free space', if the Drobo 16TB exceeds the size; but the Application DashBoard of Drobo displays the correct numbers.  For example, my Drobo 5 d contains 5, 8 TB disks, for a total size beyond 40 to RAID (theoretically, since most of us should know, now, that the ACTUAL SIZE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER than THE THEORETICAL SIZE).  AVAILABLE FOR USE ACTUAL SIZE IS ONLY 28.9 TB.  Thus, 40-28, 9 = 11.1 TB gets used in place for the PROTECTION of RAID beyond and the difference between REAL SPACE and SPACE THEORY.  It IS NORMAL because any RAID 5 device always uses about 1 size of hard drive for its Protection.  So, knowing this, the DeskTop icon showing 28.9 TB disk space and free space as everything that is not yet used.  However, instead, the Mac OS shows 70,37 TB disk space and free space like 68,37 TB, which are both incorrect.  Although I'd love it if Mac OS has been magically increase my disk space, in fact, these two numbers are false.  Drobo knows this, and Apple has not, in my discussions with both.  So I hope, between the two companies, that this problem can be corrected.

    2. after many hours on the phone with Apple Support, through no less than 6 people including 2 senior advisers, NONE OF THEM COULD ANSWER MY QUESTION ON CE WHO IS MAXIMUM ALLOWED HARD DRIVE or RAID SPACE AUTHORIZED BY Yosemite and El Capitan.  For me, THIS IMPORTANT FACT SHOULD SIMPLY BE LISTED IN THE OS SPECIFICATION TECHNIQUE, it's quick and easy to read on the Support Site.  But Apple is the new bureaucracy, they are, I don't see what is happening any time soon.  So, be aware that, for now, HE IS No. LIMIT ON SIZE, as an Apple adviser said; but could not confirm in writing; and, IT IS AN INCORRECT DISPLAY SIZE AND FREE SPACE, if your drive is greater than an unknown 16 + TB in size.  Note that I have 3 other RAIDs that are properly in place showing that 9 TB, TB 12 and 18 to size; but I do not know how the SIZE IS IMPORTANT to ensure that the operating system display it correctly, except for my Drobo TB 40.  So, the bottom line, somewhere between to 18 and 40 to is where he goes wrong, in its display of sizes.

    You can't find drivers Linux because Linux is not supported by Toshiba.

  • PXI-8360 (MXI-Express) PCI-8361 + Dell OptiPlex 9020 = "device cannot start." (Code 10) »

    Hello

    I have a chassis PXI-1050, conencted to a Dell OptiPlex 9020 via a PXI-8360 and a PCI-8361 (identified as 199392B - 01L). It is Windows 7 64-bit. I can't start Windows very well, but MAX can't see all my PXI hardware. The Device Manager has also 2 inputs "PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge" with exclamation points.

    I placed an old FireWire PCI card in the same dwelling and recognized PC. Thus, the slot went very well.

    I transferred the PCI-8361 to an old PC that contains older drivers, and he acknowledged all my PXI hardware. For example, PXI gear works fine.

    What could be the problem? Here's a screenshot of my software OR installed. I think I installed all the drivers I need. I checked NI Update Service; There is no update of Critcal, and only updates and Service Packs listed are 2013 LabVIEW and TestStand 2013.

    JKSH,

    I look in that little bit more and think that I now know enough to be dangerous.

    The BIOS allows the PCI Express native control mode in Windows.  PCIe natively do not like some of the architecture when you use the PCI card version, so it disables the bridges on the PXI card.  I can tell that your OS is PCIe natively because it lists one of the ports as "PCI standard PCI Express to PCI/PCI-X bridge" Device Manager like you posted.

    I found that you can disable PCIe native mode, if you want to try it (but in general using the card PCIe is a better option).  Here are the steps:

    -Open the start menu and type "cmd" in the search box; Right click on "cmd.exe" and run as administrator.

    -In the command window, type "bcdedit/set pciexpress forcedisable.

    -Reboot.

    I don't think it would break anything (it doesn't have on a system I've tried).  If you want to reverse the trend, the command is ' bcdedit/set pciexpress by default'
