Raid 5 configuration on a server ESX 4.0

Hello

I have a server with 4 500 GB hard drives and I configured these hards like Raid 5 3 in raid motherboard controller. I installed ESX server 4.0 in non-raid disk hard but in vsphere client, I see these three separate hards and I guess that this esx server is not set up these hards as Raid 5

How can I set Raid 5 in esx server.

My motherboard is Super Micro X7DVL-3

The RAID, you can set up through your motherboard is known as 'false' RAID.

This is not supported in ESX. ESX only supports the RAID hardware controllers real (as indicated in the HCL)

Even if this could work in your case, you would probably a real bad performance. The reasons are that a RAID5 with 3 drives is one of the slower RAID configurations that can be configured and your RAID controller does not write cache.

  • second RAID1 configuration on existing server

    Hello Dell

    I have a poweredge server R320 with 2 x 500 GB configured as RAID1 disks. I am about to place an order with Dell for 2x4T drives to add to the server. My question is:

    Is it possible to RAID1 new discs of 2x4T so that there is already an existing RAID1 configuration on the server?

    Hello!!!

    Yes its possible, you can create a RAID1 more with your new 2x4T discs. There is no restriction on the creation of disk virtual RAID1 or any other RAID level. You can create a virtual RAID level multiple tilmes, until you reach MAX Virtual disk configuration.

    Please let me know if you have any question!

  • Conversion of Raid 1 configuration to 1 normal hard drive with Windows XP Professional

    I have a Dell Precision Workstation 380, which has been set up at the factory in Raid 1 with 2 Seagate 160 GB hard drives.  The operating system is Windows XP Professional.  I would like to delete the Raid 1 configuration and that the computer is a normal hard drive configuration 1.  Can someone help me with a step by step procedure to achieve this?

    Hi cbcenterplus,

    RAID 1 means that you essentially two drives separated with identical information. In order to break the RAID is simple. Start on the Intel RAID Option Rom utility (ctrl + I), replace two disks drives non-members, and then restart your computer.  The 2nd disc will receive a new drive letter, and you can get in shape by using the disk management and have extra space.

  • How to configure a FTP server and the web and integrate with 5.2 DMM

    Hi all...

    I need to set up an external server only for publishing content to reduce the overhead of the DMM server.

    can someone guide me on how to configure the external server and it intergrate with the DMM 5.2

    Thank you

    semuthu,


    Notes from the Release Notes:


    Limitations of compatibility with Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)

    DMP who use firmware version 5.2 is compatible with a single version of Microsoft Internet Information Server.

    This supported version is IIS 6.0 for Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition. If you do not have the support for IIS version but

    want your DMP to recover the assets of a Web server, we recommend that you use Apache instead of IIS.



    I suggest to use Apache instead of IIS for the Web Server service. IIS can be used as FTP if necessary.

    There are a lot of Documents on the Internet concerning the implementation of Apache and FTP servers.

  • RAID 0 configuration problem.

    Hi all

    Have a Dell XPS 420 with 1 TB (x 2 500 MB) in a RAID 0 configuration. The computer is only 3 months old and one of the HD is a failure. Called Dell and it is replaced. The questions are:

    1. An is RAID setup more stress on the system?
    2. I do not use RAID when reconfiguring it with the new HD, which should allow me to better save capabilities? (only if the backup drive doesn't fail).

    Your comments are appreciated.

  • How to configure the print server on multiple machines?

    Hello

    Can you get it someone please let me know the installation process of print server on multiple machines?
    That's what I thought.
    1. install Ghostscript on all machines.
    2 configure the print server on all machines.
    3. I guess I should point the IP address somewhere as a final step?

    Thanks in advance
    PM

    The steps you mentioned is correct.

    When you configure the print service, you can set the URL of the web application server financial information in .properties and this file will get stored in the HSS registry (this is the step where you run the FRprintserversetup.cmd). So when you run Setup of each print server there will be created for this purpose in the HSS registry entries. Then, there will be an internal logic that will work on what server should take what process.

  • E.M.P. 11.1.2.2 configuration with SQL Server 2008 R2

    Hello

    I was wondering if he should place the sqljdbc4.jar under any folder EPM_HOME\MW file to connect to SQL Server 2008 when you configure using the EMP system configurator.

    I'm just be proactive and ask the question because I had to do the same thing when configuring with SQL Server 2008R2 ODI...

    Looks like Oracle don't like MS and visa versa... Why not include just this file JDBC installation.

    Thanks in advance!

    No you shouldn't need drivers for sql server additional to configure SQL SERVER in the configurator to EMP they are included as part of the configurator.
