RAID problem

In December, I bought a HP P6530F Desktop (Windows 7 Home Premium) refurbiished. Later, I tried to configure RAID 1 with an external drive for RAID use. I added the player and with the Intel software included in the 6530, RAID 1 configuration. The next morning, the computer crashed, and I couldn't get anything by using the recovery disk created on the first day, I get the computer. My server using WHS, couldn't do a restore. I ended up having to buy a new operating system (Windows 7 Ultimate), which I am now running. I would like to configure RAID 1, but I am very reluctant to do so after the mess he created. I contacted Intel, yesterday and was told to contact HP (pass the male!)

Hello jimn5dc, sorry to hear that you have so much trouble. Whenever you create a new Raid, Raid0 (striped) or Raid1 (mirror) as you mentioned you tried, you will always be required to reinstall the operating system once the Raid array is created. Then, you will need to reinstall all your applications.

The BIOS must also be configured as a Raid system. The reason that your recovery restore disk will work not on the Raid array is him was made to a single hard drive and can't find one when you try to reinstall the recovery software.

It is not recommended to set up a Raid array using an external hard drive because of differences in read/write in the clos and external hard drives. The external hard drive will always run slower for read/write operations, and interfere with the performance of Raid array and probably want all of work.

You should be able to install the new hard drive in the case and then enter the Intel Raid utility and create the Raid 1 array. It is strongly recommended that the two hard drives in a Raid array be the same ability, size, and cache. They can be from different manufacturers, but that is not recommended either. It is better to have identical hard drives to a Raid array, at least in a HP System. Some class systems business can manage different capacity disks, etc., but these are usually controlled by a special hard drive controllers and not controllers shipped on most home systems.

When you create or delete a RAID of any type, you will lose all data on all hard drives.

When you install the operating system on the new Raid array, a new Master Boot Record (MBR) will be created which will allow the operating system to use on the new Raid array.

As far as I know, there is no other way to do this. Others may know differently, but I've been using Raid arrays for 20 years and it's the only way I know how to set up a Raid array.

  • Windows could not configure windows to run on this hardware on this computer. RAID problem?

    I'm upgrading from XP to 7 ultimate.  Compatibility checker turned up no problem important and (custom) installation seems to be okay until the dreaded message above.

    I have an older Pentium 4 3.2 (540J) processor on a card mother P5GD2.  After searching for a solution, it seems that a lot of the problems result from hard drive interface problems.  I'm 2 RAID 1 volumes through an Intel 82801FR SATA RAID controllers.  Windows seems to see the volumes very well during the installation process.  I select the first volume of the installation, and then continue until the message "cannot configure.

    The fact that I can see volumes in the installer of Windows means that Windows has find and load the drivers for the RAID?  No idea how to resolve this situation?  Do you think the RAID/HDs are to blame, or is there another likely problem?

  • XPS 420 raid problem

     
     
    When you start speed up my system the Green lettering that says about the raid is now red, telling me that one of the players has a mistake. When windows starts, there was a decline by saying the raid was a failure, and the raid utility tells me there is a problem with one of the disks and I need to save all my data.
     
    He is proberly a stupid question but how serous is it? is it possible for me to save every thing like making a total copy of the disc so I don't have to re install this new? I brought my computer in January this year is - dell can resolve this issue and remove the raid, so I have to readers instead of one.
     
    I am not really satisfied with this than I expected so much more form a company like dell.

  • 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).

    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:

  • Problem with XServe and XServe RAID via Fibre Channel

    Hello everyone,

    I have a problem with my blended Xserve RAID.

    I see in RAID-Admin and configure it successfully (via Ethernet). Connect with our Xserve via Fibre Channel, but the XServe and XServe RAID do not detect each other.

    The fiber on the Xserve channel LEDs are white on the Xserve RAID completely off and permanent.

    RAID-Admin status of Fibre Channel: 'No connection (1 table)' with a red square.

    If I try to open the utility of fiber channel I get the message: "card Fibre Channel is not found." Utility disk OS X can't, too.

    I changed the card connector cable, and made several reboots. But each time the same thing: they do not detect each other.

    Xserve (2009):

    -2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon 5500

    -Map of Apple dual-channel 4 Gb Fibre Channel (LSI7204EP)

    XServe RAID:

    -RAID 5 in an array (only on the left with 5 x 500 GB)

    -1.5.1 Firmware

    -Cable Apple 4 Gb SFP - SFP

    Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English!

    Hi Mpm-Mainz,

    Check if you have enabled LUN masking. To be able to see, you will need to download raid admin 1.5 not the 1.5.1

    Xserve RAID Admin Tools 1.5

    Have you also tried to use the other controller? Even if there is no disc in there, then it should appear in the preferences of fiber card system.

    Thank you

  • Z210: Bad support/problem with recovery of an Z210 system when changing the RAID configuration backup

    My Z210 accompanies stripped Bay RAID-0, which currently consists of 2 x 1 TB HDD where the OS partition. I want to change that in RAID-1 mirror, but as the application of TSRI does no such RAID level migration, I thought I would try another approach.

    As a solution, I'd do a backup using the Windows backup and restore application. Then, I would change the table using the Boot ROM TSRI before restoring the backup to this new array. But obviously backup 1.9 TB in a table of 932GB will not

    So, to make a backup, I firstly disabled 'System Protection' and the file 'Page '. This allowed me to reduce the OS partition to about 50 GB using disk management. Then I re - activate 'System Protection' and the 'Page file' before making the backup and the creation of a system recovery disk. This resulted in a backup of 35 GB that I stocked up on a USB external drive. And now a backup of 35 GB can fit on my reconfigured 932GB RAID - 1 mirror

    As such, I cold booted my system and during the boot process, I pressed CTRL-I to get the State of mind RAID Intel Boot ROM. you, CTRL-I've worked only if I started cold and the HP USB keyboard directly connected the first USB slot at the back of the system. The first USB slot is at the top left when you look at the back with the portrait of the tower. Connect the HP USB keyboard in USB port or in the hub of my Dell monitor does not allow me to access the ROM to Boot Intel RAID!

    HP should really study this fault

    In any case, when I could access the Intel RAID Boot ROM, I deleted the RAID-0 stripped existing and created a new RAID-1 mirror. Obviously, the process is destructive and wipe the BONES of the table but that's what my backup was to

    Then I started on the Windows system recovery disk, plugged the USB external drive and proceeded to recover my system.

    Everything worked as expected with the operating system partition uses about 50 GB. A simple trip to disk management enabled me to extend the volume to occupy the space allocated, as presented by the RAID-1 array. As such, I find myself with about 932 GB partition that appear in the windows disk management tool. After a check disk and reboot (which fixed some minor issues) all seemed well.

    But no, everything was fine

    Well that ROM boot RAID Intel sees that a mirror RAID-1 about 932 GB and the operating system sees a partition about 932 GB, both as expected, demand for Intel RST in windows States the following:

    I don't seem to have indication of what type of table, it is, an options to change the name of the table or an option to check the integrity of the array through the TSRI application in windows. If something is screwed

    But after the update for the application of iRST version 10.6.0.1002 Intel (the newest HP of) version 11.2.0.1006 (version Intel got very practice), the question seems to correct itself. Now the RAID, Windows boot ROM and the request of TSRI in Windows all agree that the table is indeed a mirror RAID-1 932 GB.

    I don't know what caused the problem, if it's related to something that was wrong with the process that I used, if she is simply resolved by reinstalling driver, or if this is a fix for a known issue that Intel has included in their questions later from the pilot.

    But what I know is that Intel has resolved a number of issues in the version 12.9.0.1001 driver (which is the latest version for the Cougar Point chipsets) compared to the old driver version 10.6.0.1002 HP has on its support page for the Z210.

    And HP seems unwavering in his lack of interest in the Intels 12.9.0.1001 test pilot and then make it available on its support page for what is a product still under warranty

    It is a mediocre service if you ask me...

    Some HP forum administrator or HP support person hide these forums should impose it in the HP management station and get it looked at. The Z210 is still under warranty for some customers and HP needs to pick up the latest drivers available to all suppliers, test them and then release them to their customers via the support page for this product. All the rest is little change us all.

    I was able to resolve the application problem Intel RST by updating to the latest v11.2.0.1006 Intel driver but it has highlighted a few points that HP should address, see linked post above.

    PS: Add this post so I can mark the thread as solved.

    I just bought a Toshiba Qosmio G30-140 of second hand. It has 2 hard drives and I tried to install windows 7 with great difficulty due to the raid driver... I managed to cmplete installation and travels account that half the utilities would not work in compatibility mode... Solution, I decided to re install the original Windows XP Media Center Edition, as I didn't have the original disks, I had many days of trial and error downloading different versions to work on my system... FINALLY, I GOT THE RIGHT ONE...

    I want to set up my machine to use the 2 drives in RAID mirror in case of data corruption, although I tried to install the RAID utility using the restore disc, I had created before embarking on this mission - suicidal

    IT WILL NOT BE INSTALLED, AND CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE SAME ERROR OVER AND OVER AGAIN, EVEN IF I AM LOGGED ON ADMINISTRATOR

    I'm stuck and tried a lot of combinations, different and re-installed the OS twice, I am an administrator and possess these privelages. HELP :((

    Hi mate

    Installing the RAID driver could solve this problem...

    Also, I guess you used the right RAID settings in the BIOS.
    As far as I know, you can change the RAID option in the BIOS on the last page (3-3)
    RAID0 means stripping and RAID1 mirror you want to use.

    After changing the RAID parameters, you must confirm this insert the string 1,2,3,4 and enter.

    But note; After changing this you will need new OS install

  • Re: Qosmio G30 - RAID of the problems when installing the OS

    I got my Qosmio G30-161 for half a year and he had thought should be time to reinstall everything, so I could get rid of things I didn't need (programs, viruses and uninteresting video clips).

    So I took my XP MCE Cd and tried to install, and I am guided me through and come to the place where I had to choose between unknown 1st and 2nd 3rd stripping mirrored. I chose the stripping as I wanted my drives to be in one. Then when I pressed "next" it gave me the error message "1005 - HDD is not ready?

    I tried to go into the BIOS and change the setting of different parameters of Toshiba told me to, but he also warned that if I changed my OS settings will need to be reinstalled. No problem. But I still get the same message error "disk is not ready?". So now, I have to use a computer other than mine to check the forums and mail etc.

    Anyone know what I need to do? I'll be happy with anything as long as I can have both my hard drives (60 + 60 GB) and OS work. :)

    Please help, I would urge for her, because the computer is the one I use for my school work. Feel free to ask questions about the tricks of the system. If you have an answer, please let it be simple, because I really don't want to mess up again ^_^

    Please check the details relating to the installation of RAID user's Guide.
    Usually if you use the clean Windows XP disk then you need to include the RAID drivers first.
    Without pre-installed RAID drivers HARD drive will not be recognized and you will not be able to install the OS!

  • 2008 mac Pro Apple Raid card problems, help!

    Hello, I have a mac pro 2008 with a raid set up. I want to get rid of all old raid together upwards and instead put a new ssd in the first Bay. The computer cannot read it because I think that it is always configured as a raid. Does anyone know how to make the available drive bays to new readers? You're help would be highly appreciated. I want to take the Apple Raid card so I can have an additional PCI port and I also want to get out the discs four raid. Just so I can put in a single ssd! Thank you very much.

    When you remove the Apple RAID card, readers who were searched will be unreadable. You need to make backups before time, because there is no way known to them read differently.

    There is a data cable, called the iPass cable connected to the motherboard to the RAID card. You must remove this cable when you remove the RAID card and reconnect the plug corresponding on the motherboard. Once you do this, you get four bays returned as SATA bays and can install any drives that you like. The problem with a lot of SSDS is that they are 2.5-inch form factor drives and may not fit on a standard sled. Users have used an IcyDock (in the 2008 version and earlier versions) or the newer technology adaptadrive:

  • Z420 - RAID + AHCI problem

    Hello

    using z420, Firmware is up to date, Windows 8 - with the latest drivers from HP Homepage.

    Storage mode is set to RAID + AHCI.

    Samsung 840 PRO SSD attached to the SATA Port 0 (AHCI 6 GB/s)

    2 x Samsung Barracuda attached to 3 + 4 Port SATA (AHCI / 3 GB/s) running RAID 1

    The problem is that my SSD is NOT detected in Mode AHCI (detected as IDE) - and hence the Performance struggles.

    When I detach the 2 Barracuda and change the storage Mode in the BIOS to AHCI only (without RAID) and restart Windows (driver AHCI enabled in the registry) the SSD is correctly detected as AHCI and offers a desired speed.

    Back to the RAID + AHCI the SSD is again detected in IDE mode.

    Is there a problem with RAID + AHCI Mode that the SSD is detected as NO AHCI?

    Hope someone can help me with that.

    Thank you

    Andreas Schnederle-Wagner

    well - I was able to solve the performance problem now!

    I replaced the rest of iaStorA.sys with the iaStorA.sys RST version - and now the system SSD full speed...

    I have attached 2 Screenshots - "before.jpg" watch my setup with performance problems. "after.jpg" my current setup with maximum performance!

    Only problem left is the name of the SSD paralyzed device - but I hope that it is not a problem...? ! ?

    http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c03424977-1.PDF

    More specifically, in the section "Setting up system BIOS", after confirming the RAID + AHCI is defined for the SATA Mode and Post Messages are enabled, then step 4 says that enable 'SATA RAID Option ROM download. There is none of these items under Device Options. I don't see "SAS Option ROM download", which is already activated.

    In addition, after leaving the BIOS settings, there is no CTRL + C or CTRL + I, option to enter RAID settings...

    Indeed, I checked that there are two drives running on the machine...
