RD230 - RAID configuration

Good afternoon

I'll put up a RD230 (model 4100) and I got to the configuraiton RAID. EasyStartup cd (3.1.3) keeps telling me that I need to define software SATA RAID mode in Bios. However, the only options I get are "Enhanced IDE" & RAID, which no pick up readers.

I tried updating the BIOS without result. If someone could give me a helping hand to hurt a little bit here.

Thank you

We managed to work around it.

It turned out that we sold was incorrect, we sold 3 SAS drives on a medium without a RAID SAS controller... So the only option was for the software RAID.

We opted to use 4 SATA drives instead of the SAS drives, this, we could use the Intel RAID controller to start up. He literally flashes upward in a fraction of a second, so you need to be quick.

    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.

  • HP ENVY 750-170se: cannot access the RAID configuration via Ctrl + i on startup

    I activated the RAID in BIOS > Storage Options > SATA emulations.

    There are 2 drives HARD correspondents attached to the SATA 2 ports & 3.

    At startup the Intel Rapid Storage screen shows the two discs. It shows the prompt to hit "Ctrl + I" to enter setup.

    However: when I hit, stand or mash Ctrl + I, before, during and after the screen from the IRS, it never penetrates RAID installation.

    What keeps me to enter RAID configuration menu?

    Is there some SATA ports I need the HARD drive to be attached to the?

    Motherboard is the model 2B4B, verson A0.11 BIOS

    Based on this post I tried to use Intel Rapid Storage to make the RAID. TSRI was not installed/available in Windows so I donwloaded it... during the installation I was told there was a newer version already installed (which is weird because I couldn't access it).

    TSRI in Windows made the RAID volume. No need to enter during POST/boot.

  • XW4600: RAID Configuration

    Hi, I have a XW4600 workstation with a hard disk of 500 GB.  The technical specifications of the workstation seems to suggest that it can work with a RAID configuration.

    This is why I would like to add a second hard drive and install RAID for the purposes of resilience as the workstation is used for important purposes.

    Couple of questions about it.   First, the RAID can be installed on this workstation?  Secondly, I know that I have to buy another hard drive with at least the same capacity, but don't I need to buy the part of HP number of hard disk or any disk hard do?  And finally, is it simple enough installation?

    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    Please visit the two web links provided below:

    1.) this is for configuring SATA RAID on the HP xw4600:

    And YES, you can configure RAID in your unit, both HARD disks must be the same SIZE, speed (RPM) because its recommended for optimal performance.

    Please buy similar brand of HARD drive because it depends also manufacturers and their compatibility.

  • the z820 RAID configuration problem

    Hello

    I have a newly opened (running the BIOS 3.52) z820 workstation. I would get my RAID configuration Setup program, but I have problems following the steps in the maintenance and Service guide:

    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...

    Anyone know what is happening?

    Thank you

  • RAID 0 for a RAID configuration not "this computer's hardware may not supported booting from this drive.

    I want to install a new HARD drive in a tower of the mine to a friend. It was initially created as a RAID 0 configuration with two 160 GB HDD. The replacement is a single 1 TB of HARD drive. I get the message "this computer's hardware may not supported booting to this disk.» Am I missing an approach from a RAID 0 for a RAID configuration, no?

    Hi RegularPencils,

    I suggest that you check in the basic input/output system (BIOS), if you find an option to disable the RAID. If you find, disable the RAID and try to install Windows vista, check if it helps.

    Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that contains multiple RAW hard disks: "Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation.

  • UCS 220 M3 LSI raid configuration

    Hi all

    Really struggling here set up our disks/RAID on our server.

    We ordered with the lsi megaraid 9271-8i.

    By reading the documentation (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C220/ins...) it seems that we should have to use the following:

    UCS in disabled bios - done.

    Then set up the RAID, we want with the disks we want (we have 8) you should get a prompt after post Ctrl + M

    I never see this message?

    I even went through the process of post whole spamming Ctrl + M without seeing any kind of raid configuration options.

    Something I am doing wrong?

    Appreciate any advice.

    In your config file in the BIOS ("Advanced" tab) in the MMIC, confirm that you have "Option ROM' enabled for the PCIe slot where the RAID controller is installed and disable all others, go into BIOS and confirm that the integrated RAID controller is disabled and then reboot the server... Once you see the list of disks during POST, press Ctrl +H, Ctrl + M is the integrated RAID controller. (The controller form factor of mezz is Ctrl + C, as explained here: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c/hw/C200M1/i...)

    HTH, let me know,

  • A general question on installing Windows 7 and RAID configuration

    I have an OEM Windows XP machine. His HD system consists of two physical disks connected during a RAID 0 configuration. The RAID has been initially configured in the BIOS (and maybe an extra chip), and then there are the drivers included in the installer of the OS.

    My question is: if I install Windows 7 from scratch on this machine (i.e. not updated from XP) the installation process would allow me to configure the RAID? Has its own generic drivers for RAID configurations?

    You will appreciate a response from a really knowledgeable person.

    See the following topics:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD

    Click Install now

    Accept the license agreement

    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Click on drive Options

    Click on load a driver

  • Supermicro onboard Intel and Adaptec RAID configuration unrecognized in ESXi 5.5 U2

    Hi, I have a supermicro X7DAL-E r1.1b motherboard has integrated Intel and Adaptec sata raid controllers. To enable raid controllers, I go into the BIOS and enable the raid configuration for intel or adaptec. I tried two raid controllers and created a configuration raid 5 by going through the bios of each controller. However, when I start to go through the process of installing ESXi 5.5 U2, I see not a logical drive, all I see are hard drives that I thought were configured as a logical drive in raid 5.

    I know that I am using an old motherboard which is not on the HCL, but I just haven't the money to spend on equipment. I really want to make it work if possible. I tried to download ESXi 4 but it is no longer available . I understand I tried to use an older version to see if it contains the necessary drivers for it work and attempt to port these drivers in ESXI 5.5.

    I was wondering if someone actually got this similar problem with supermicro Board and whether a solution or workaround has been found in which ESXi 5 can recognize the raid configuration? If this is impossible, it can't be done, that's what it is. I'll deal with it or put in place.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Not sure about this 'r1.1b' version, but original X7DAL-E has no onboard hardware raid controller. What he has is i5000 chipset, which offers the raid software-(aka bios-, faux-, etc.). This is not supported by ESXi (for very good reasons). And even if it were, no cache, you would get terrible performance...

  • How do I know which drive size for a RAID configuration

    Hello

    I'm a beginner when it comes to PC built but am still learning.

    I can't afford to not have reliable backups, so I would like to enter in a RAID configuration, and from what I've read, it will be either a RAID 5 or RAID 3.

    If I want a strong system, it seems that I should go for seven discs, as well as the C drive (according to generic directive of prejudice to article Disk Configuration: generic for the installation disc Directive)

    Other than the C drive, do the same size and brand discs in all areas? If this is not the case, how do I know what size to get? What are the specific brands offer great value in 2014?

    At the moment I have 240 gb C drive and 2x1To WD Caviar Black drives (media and projects on that, previews, media and on the other hand, the export cache). I also have a 2 TB WD Green backup drive.

    I have a lot of threads have checked and still get my head around RAID configurations.

    Thank you for helping,

    Robert

    For the largest raids of parity, records of business are the best. HGST Ultrastar, Seagate Constellation or WD RE.

    As for the size, it depends on your storage needs. Provided that the controller has the necessary ports, you can always extend the table by adding more disks, more speed and more space.

    Also take a look at the following articles and Page of tweakers , where Harm has added and developed on previous articles.

  • G - Tech & other external Raid configurations, Yes, no?

    I'm trying to set up a new computer Setup & fair considering my options of raid:

    I was wondering if anyone has comments on external raid configurations vs internal

    I see this G-Speed-Q announced, anyone running this or something like this with any success?

    It has built in HighPoint Raid card / all your comments on those?

    Just try to keep the cost down, my new Setup looks more $4 000,00 with any raid array. Am new on configurations raid except what I have studied here but don't want cheep out and at the end upward with problems.

    Harms Areca suggestion is well taken, but what I actually spend that much for a raid controller card that works well?  Also saw the CalDigit suggestions...

    If I don't go with an external raid configuration, is there any Adaptec models that work well?

    Another question:

    In Raid setup '0' / what is the minimum number of disks, I need to work with the HD video not compressed, as of a Sony Ex1r

    Thank you people / novice Raid here / one-way now...

    X 58 motherboards have 36 PCI-e lanes. In your case, that means 16 for the video card, 8 for the raid controller and 1 for the audio card for a total of 25 channels in use. All 4 motherboards are good, they only differ in any of the features, such as NIC simple or double, 2 or 3 PCI-e 16 x slots, 0 or 1 or 2 fire wire connectors, number of SATA connectors, etc. You must decide what set function is relevant for you. BTW, all XMP support and there is no discernible difference in performance between them. It's all about feature/price/warranty.

    You are better off internal and external eSATA and firewire particularly raids. Best performance, expansion room, less clutter with cables and power cords. Take a look at the 1200 Areca or 1220.

    SSD is way overrated and do not deliver a performance gain. I noticed only a unique advantage of SSDS on the classical records:

    Of SSD empty your wallet quite effectively. By Go, they are 40 times more expensive than conventional discs without any performance gain.

    If a Noctua NH - U12 or NH - D14 fit without modification is based only on the memory sticks that you use. Some are extremely high expansion of the fins that can complicate the installation. Especially the D14 can give problems, but the U12 does not, at least I have not heard on this issue.

    Not being English is not my native language, you may have misinterpreted my statement about memory. You are familiar with serendipity, I guess. Looking for a needle in a haystack and finding the farmers daughter. I tried to find the article where I may have said something like that, but he did not. Neither I found farmers daughter also.

    You are better off with 6 x 4 GB memory DDR3-1600 + sticks, but you must set the multiplier in the BIOS to use the memory at that speed.
