• Mounting NFS in a VM vs adding a drive in a NFS data store

  Let's say I have an NFS server to provide storage to a VMware Server

  farm.

  And I just need to put a file on the NFS to a VM server available.

  How can I better performnace.. ?

  (1) Just directly editing this file NFS in the Virtual Machine (using the NFS OS client)

  or

  (2) adding a drive in the Virtual Machine (using a NFS store - mapped on this dossier in the NFS server)

  M.A.

  If you want to use the functionality of VMware snapshot, certainly NFS datastore is your best bet but I think that performance wise, by storing files directly by the NFS client without needing more TCP or i/o load for the virtual disk can give you better performance.

  Management & recovery wise, live sharing the NFS server can make your life very easy for other machines can read or access the files inside without problem but don't forget, sometimes it also can give you headache. While for vmdk, you need tool to access the files inside.

  Just my 2 cents

• Adding hard drive for poweredge 2900

  I need to add a hard drive for storage on a server poweredge 2900.  There are 4 HARD drives in a RAID 5 array, but I don't want to add the new hard drive in the array.  I installed the HDD but impossible to initialize the disc and do it online.  Is there something that needs to be done first?  I do not have the options to reconfigure, only blink and add spare of the OSMA.

  Thank you

  Assuming you have a PERC 5/6, it is important to know that the PERC does NOT support non-RAID.  So, if you want to use a disk like a stand-alone drive, you must first configure it in a RAID array.  The only RAID level that accepts a single drive is RAID 0.  You can do since within the OMSA inside the BONE (storage, PERC, Information/Configuration, create/New in list dropdown controller), or you can do it from the CTRL-R during POST utility (brightness, control F2, Create/New - be sure to check the advanced options and initialize boxes).

  (Reconfigure is the option that you choose to add it to your existing 5 RAID to increase its size.)

• Adding 3rd drive but not RAID?

  I have a TS200V with 2 x 250 GB drives in a RAID configuration. Can I add a separate 500 GB drive, but NOT add it to the controiller raid itself? As a standalone player? I'm new to RAID not too sure if this is possible. Or the question of whether the TS200V has same slots for additional disks.

  Thank you.

  John

  Hello

  Server does support RAID 0/1 only.

  There are instead of using the 3rd HARD drive inside.

• Explain "Single disk Mode" + added new drive?

  I already read all other potentially relevant posts on this site * (at least, I think I have)

  I have a NMH300 existing with a single WD 1 TB drive installed and configured for RAID Linear1.

  My apologies for asking a question that may be an answer, but after a search on the forums for discussion and review all of the materials user guide I have a few basic questions.

  Is it possible to operate in mode 'disk' with two drives installed? Seems like a stupid question, based on the evidence of the "single drive mode", but it was not clear to me. I would avoid Linear2 RAID b/c I don't want a single drive failure to the ruin of all data in both drives and I want the ability, so I don't want RAID1.

  I think I understand that if I return to linear1 single drive mode and then all of the data are deleted. Fix?

  It would really just be easier to add the 2nd drive and do run in linear2 and avoid all the hassle of a migration and re - build?

  One last question. If I add the 2nd drive and configure it in linear2, the NMH is supposed to keep my existing data on the existing drive and just "add" ability. Fix? (I know that I should come back first, but just ask to make 100%, I understand the specific details)

  Thank you.

  Hi ctizzle,

  So that all of these modes don't you will not confuse I recommend that you check this link. Since I have my music and videos backed up to another drive and I use my nmh primarily as a media server, I put mine up like linear2. If you decide to increase your total disk space by adding another hard drive and set up the linear nmh 2 mode as well then I suggest you take a look at this guide.

  Also, choose your hard drives in the tested hardware list.

  I hope this helps!

• R310 adding hard drive space

  Greetings! I have a Dell R310 with the standard configuration 250Gig Raid1 hard drives 2 x 250gig, that gives a virtual disk. Question, can I buy another SATA to 2 x 1 TB drives and create a second virtual disk with Raid1 or should I break the current Raid1(possibly format) before adding more storage? Thanks, Gavin

  Hello Gavin

  Gavincr001

  Can I buy another SATA to 2 x 1 TB drives and create a second virtual disk with Raid1

  Yes, you should be able to. If you have slots for 2 additional readers, then you can create a second table. I don't know any of our controllers that support only RAID 1 array.

  Thank you

• PE T610 - Perc 6i - strange state after adding additional drives

  Hello

  We have a PE T610 with a PERC 6i controller.

  X SATA 1: 2 250 GB virtual disk in a RAID-1

  X SATA 2: 3 500 GB of disk virtual in a RAID-5

  We have added 3 additional 2 TB drives to the server.  A drive has been designated as a Global Hot Spare.  Two other readers have been added to the Bay RAID-5.

  I predicted, using 500 GB each among the readers added two for Virtual Disk 2.  Then, I had planned to use the other 1.5 to among the readers as Virtual Disk 3 in a RAID-1 array.  I did it with other servers in PE in the past.

  But after that the 500 GB is used from each of the discs, I can't used the remaining unused space.  It shows the 'available RAID disk space' as 0.00 GB.

  Why the remaining space on these disks is not available for me to use?

  Thanks for any help on this.

  «I've waited with 500 GB each among the readers added two for Virtual Disk 2.»  Then, I had planned to use the other 1.5 to among the readers as Virtual Disk 3 in a RAID-1 array.  I did it with other servers in PE in the past. »

  This was allowed on a VERY small number of controllers found in Dell servers.  Anyway, you can do that on 6 PERC.  You can replace your existing 3 drives with 2 TB drives, then create a second table (6 to) on the disks (all disks in a disk group must have the amount of space available and impossible to replace the drives with the greatest and to increase the existing RAID array size).

• Adding 2nd drive for Time Machine

  I have an IMac with a 3 TB drive and a 4 TB laCie drive Thunderbolt used for Time Machine. I get the message that the Time Machine disk is full. I can daisy chain a second LaCie and recognized it as an add-on to Disk Time Machine?

  Not unless your create a JBOD RAID array. You can * another player and change Time Machine backup on this drive. If the player has not been used for a backup Time Machine, then Time Machine will start a new backup.

  Note that you have to create the JBOD or RAID Stripe it would remove all files on both drives before you create the table. Thus, when selected for the drive Time Machine you will be a new backup.

  About alert TM "Backup Drive is full"

  TM only deletes older files if they have been removed from the source and when TM needs space on the backup to a new incremental backup drive. Time Machine "Jules Destrooper" its backups. over 24 hours, old backups, except the first of the day; These "dailies", old more 30-day backups, except the first day of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there is room.

  So, how long a backup rest file depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming that you do at least one backup per day. If she was there for less than 24 hours, it will be maintained for at least a month. If she was there at least a week, it will be maintained as long as there is room.

  Note that, on a Time Capsule, the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but not descended. View of the user of the TC so it seems that no space was released, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.

  Once TM has found that it cannot free enough space for new backup it reports the disk is full. You can erase the backup disk and start your backup or replace the disc with a larger drive.

• Adding a drive internal Blu ray to a Satellite C650D-126

  Hello

  has anyone added a blu - ray player to a C650D-126?

  I have, but I can't get the blu - ray to work. It works as a DVD and CD, but not like the blu - ray.
  Can anyone help?
  The details of my blu - ray are HL-DT-ST BD-RE_BT10N ATA device

  Help drivers say that it works correctly

  Thank you

  I think that you are the first person with this issue. According to the specifications of the laptop this laptop model comes with DVD Super Multi Drive (Double Layer) only.

  If I understand you right, you already have the STRANGE new inside. When you say you can't he work as blu ray what does that mean exactly? Have you installed the blu - ray player and tried to watch movies?

• RAID configuration on a single hard drive?

  Hello

  Is it possible to configure the RAID in a single hard drive.

  The RAID is not just about redundancy. In the case of mirror RAID is. But, in the case of the RAID stripe, it's performance. There are other RAID types too if you feel like Googling them, but I can assure that they all involve at least two physical disks. However, many RAID controllers that support stripe and mirror (RAID 0 and 1).

  You cannot create a RAID with a single physical disk, even if you create more than one partition on it.

• Pavilion 500 adding hard drive

  Bought a desktop Pavilion 500 computer last week.  Kind of disappointed with the documentation that comes with it, also disappointed with the documentaion on this site, just seems to have two manuals supplied with the computer, PDF files (but, maybe I'm not looking in the right place).  Nothing in the documentation provided with your computer that shows what the computer looks like inside, no info at all on the update of the computer (adding another hard drive - what memory?).  I open the computer and take a look to see what is inside, but the manual says that if I open the computer and break the security seal I certify that the computer was working properly until I tried to upgrade the computer, and if the security seal is broken it could screw up my warranty.  I think there must be space for another hard drive, but who knows.  I would like to install the IDE of my old computer hard disk, do not know if this is possible.  I know I can get a disk enclosure and connect it to a USB port, but prefer to install the drive in the computer (may be screwing up the warranty...).  If an IDE drive may not be installed on the computer, as it is, maybe some sort of a SATA to IDE adapter or card would work.  Anyone have any ideas?

  According to respondents, this adapter converts IDE drives to Sata port.

• Pavilion 500-098: adding hard drive, but no 2nd hard drive Bay

  I want to add a second internal hard drive to this computer, but unfortunately the computer has only a hard drive Bay. There is plenty of space for a second hard drive, I thought that I would put the player in the unused space, setting in place somehow so that it does not move. I know I could install an external hard drive, but prefer to have an internal hard drive. The power supply has a supplement of power supply (unused) harddrive.  The motherboard is a Joshua-H61-Μatx. It has 4 SATA connections on it.  SATA0 is connected to the hard drive, SATA2 is connected to the DVD player. SATA1 and SATA3 are free. My idea of adding a second hard drive without a second HDD Bay would work?

• How to stop my printer from adding a drive on my computer

  I have a C4780 who has the unfortunate habit of adding a Z: drive on my computer to himself. It is especially annoying because I the Z: drive mapped to another folder on my computer to make things easy for me.

  How can I stop this car since supported by the printer?

  Hi AbSoiLoki,

  Thank you for your response. I could locate some different options here for you to try. There is a previous post for a different printer that is having the same problem with the printer mapping a Z:folder.

  Here, the link will take you to a post on the HP Forums with a few steps for you to try in case of problems.  Click here.

  I have also included another document on how to stop printers of grabbing the drive letters, click here.

  Please let me know if this was able to help you solve the problem.
