Reliable storage compromised

• Cheap storage for school labs

  Hello

  I read here form some time now, and I think finally put in place some ESXi servers, I have the challenge of storage.

  For those who do not want to read what follows, my question is: what is the best 'cheap' still reliable storage server out there?

  On the other hand, here's what I intend to do, and why I have some difficulty choosing the right tool:

  I can't buy what I want, because we are a school lab, with too little support of the staff of our school as can be.

  In any case, I still need to set up a lab environment capable of handling 30 development virtual machines, as a first step.

  The school gave us 3 HP DC7800 (Yes, you begin to understand the problem...) each loaded with 8 GB of RAM.

  I intend to install ESXi 4.0 on each of these hosts.

  Now what I want to do is to move "by hand" (we cannot vCenter/vMotion licenses aford) some VMS are one host to another.

  For this purpose, I'll have to use a shared storage (iSCSI or NFS), and here is the choice to make.

  As our budget is very tight, I'm looking for a storage solution (it will be a server or a model of various parts we will be then implemented together) that can handle the load of my 3 ESXi servers and perhaps even more in the future. All this for the smallest amount possible.

  (As well as our school HP supplier, if the provided solution is HP, is even better)

  Furthermore, I have read a lot about the vs iSCSI NFS, I was thinking to set up an NFS environment (mostly because I'm more familiar with it), it is a good choice?

  Hey, I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm really falling in love with ESXi, so bad that I can't wait to lay their hands on some hardware 'serious' to try in a production environment... Yes, someday.

  Take a look at HP DL185's. G5s use 3.5 drives up to 12. G6 use 2.5 and I think you can go to 24 disks. Take a look at Open - e.com. They have a free version with a capacity up to 2 TB.

• IPhone refurbished reliable sellers

  Hello

  I've been looking for a new iPhone for several weeks now and managed to find a very reasonable value, good nick iPhone 6 with 64 GB of storage in gray space (at least that is what I was told on the description of the object) arrived quickly in a very poor packaging. The box was a 3rd party one containing the phone, a sim card slot key and a charging cable (without charger) I discovered that the phone is faulty, a few days ago and he returned to a full compensation, restitution and £25. I'm now looking for a refurbished iPhone 6 64 GB in unbearably Gold/Silver for sub bar for £400. If anyone has some good suggestions of reliable sellers and he could meet with them that would be very appreciated.

  Thank you, Freddie.

  Apple does not sell refourbis iPhones and has never, nor allow any iPhone Apple authorized reseller to sell refurbished phones. The only devices that are refurbished are those repaired by third-party companies. What the companies consider "renovation" varies greatly and you should ask them what they do to their devices.  Note that there is also no legitimate source of original OEM new to unauthorized dealers or service centers, if none of these companies offering the refurbished devices use used/salvaged parts, parts grey or downright fraudulent.

  Essentially refourbis a company or a website selling iPhones sell anything the more used peripherals that they cleaned the place, or perhaps finally somewhat tested. In addition, any warranty on these devices will be only the seller or the company that made refurbishing what we call, but not Apple.

• Use an external hard drive to add storage to an imac

  For some reason, I can't find an answer to this anywhere.  I know that you can add more storage to a computer by changing the internal hard drive, but I'm not good with electronics and will attempt rather than.  Is it possible to attach an external hard drive to my iMac (21.5-inch, late 2009, OSX 10.11.3) and have it work as if the computer itself has more storage?  I'm not interested to move the files to the external drive to clear up space already a resident, I want the storage that is already 'the annex'.

  Thank you!

  This capability on Macs for a long time. With your model I ecommend a power player, one who possesses its own independent power supply. They are more expensive than the models that do not have a power supply, but are much more relaible.

  I use these on all our Macs:

  Your Mac without any USB 3, I would get the version of reader that has FireWire 800 ports for reliability and better speeds of backup. That drive can be moved to a new Mac when you decide the 2009 model is ready for the retirement home.

  I used the readers of 'brand' that the supermarkets put office on sale every weekend, but find them too centered on Windows to always play well with Macs. This is why I spend a little more money for the OWC product. After all, how are your images and data value?

• I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air both have always been updated you are prompted and are therefore currently operating on 9.2.1. It just says: update could not be completed, and that was in the 11-15. I pay for extra storage if this isn't the issue...

  I have an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air both have always been updated you are prompted and are running 9.2.1. I can't get either do an iCloud backup, he repeats to me just last backup could not be completed. The last successful backup has been in November 2015. I pay for most large storage storage account is not the problem but, the fact I pay for cela and cannot use it is very frustrating = / I really need to get my backup iPhone I have a few important pictures there. I have read other posts, but nothing useful there. Is this a problem in one of the updates at this time or some other interferente app? Or? Thank you...

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  Please check that your device is correctly connected to the wireless internet (settings > wifi) and is plugged into a power source, check also that you have enough space in iCloud for your back upward.

  You can check the space available in settings > iCloud > storage and the space needed for the next backup to the settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backups > appliance > Back Up Options > next backup size (wait for the spinning until the gear icon).

  Assuming that you are eligible for iCloud upward, you should try a forced first stop, hold down the buttons side in top and home together until the unit stops, then restart by pressing the side/up button.

  Then, try to connect the device to a new location (different WiFi network)

  If your backup continues to fail, you can try to disable the backup on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > backup), reboot the device and then turn on BackUp on new.

  If this help not disable backup again, remove your existing back to the top of settings > iCloud > storage > Storage manage > backup > this device (scroll down) > delete backup, restart the device and then turn on BackUp.

  If you are unable to make a return to the top, try to connect on iCloud (settings > iCloud (scroll down) > Sign Out (you will need to enter your password at this point), restart the device and sign in iCloud to settings > iCloud.)

  The next thing to try would be to restore your network settings. (Settings > general > reset > reset network settings)

  Reset your network settings will erase your cell phones and wireless network settings, including saved networks, passwords for wifi and VPN settings, that you can use. It will affect to the Internet but will not be an impact on telephone services because these settings are automatically configured by your carrier. It may take a few moments to enter again all your network settings, but it shouldn't cause you any major problems. If you are comfortable re - enter your network settings, you can try this step earlier in the troubleshooting procedure, i.e. after the forced shutdown suggested above.

  If this does not help, try to disable some elements for the back upward in a model to try to establish if your problem is caused by specific data on your device. You can do with settings > iCloud > storage > storage management > backup > appliance > Back Up Options.

  If you are still not able to perform a backup from iCloud, you can try to restore your phone which you should do by making an iTunes backup via your computer and restore from that.

  Be able to go back to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you have access to a computer or rarely have access to one, however unless you need specifically to use iCloud to go back, you'll find a backup on iTunes much more convenient and possibly more reliable. However if you save up to iTunes be sure to encrypt the back upward if you want to keep your data on health and passwords etc.

• Compromised security fixing Macbook Air running Lion.

  My mother got scammed and some people have taken complete control of his computer remotely.  While she didn't give them his information of the Bank, they had total control and therefore no matter what on the computer that could be compromised should be supposed to be compromised.  I plan to wipe the drive and reinstall the software.  I was wondering two things...

  Is the recovery partition that put on the computer somewhere safe to reinstall it from Apple?

  She's not all backups.  She has some JPEG files she wants.  What is the best way to transfer?  I was thinking a USB key I need to scan with Symantec antivirus.  But I've heard that usbs are dangerous?

  She has a Macbook Air.  She was running Lion (10.7).  I don't know until I get my hands on it tomorrow...

  Any advice would be great.  Thanks in advance.

  Nothing on this box is entirely safe to be safe - even the backups can be suspect.

  See re - install or try surgery? for a recent discussion of the present.

  Your own USB drives are very likely very well.  Yes, there are ways that USB drives you pick up in a parking lot or in trade shows can cause problems, but this isn't the case here.  Buy the disc, erase and format it in HFS + on your Mac and allows to transfer what is important.

  I would probably do a full backup of the entire system on an external drive, on the off chance that there is something else that may be necessary.

  FWIW, anti-virus and anti-malware tools are not known to be particularly robust or reliable products, are not intended to detect backdoors, some have a history of having backdoors and security bugs in packages and are not designed to defend against what is happening in a growing number of people; against scams and phishing attacks, as has happened here.

• Some doubts on Windows Storage Server

  Hello
  I wanted to know if I can create a private Server central cloud with windows storage server 2008 R2. I went to the Microsoft site, but I understand not doing just that the software does exactly.
  Currently I use the server file HFS (http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/), but the software is not reliable.
  windows storage server has the features of HFS?
  the main functioning that i need are-
  (1) create a Server central cloud like dropbox
  (2) should be relatively easy to install and use
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  One of my uncles has Windows Server 2008 R2. Ive visited on the net Forum said if you have Server 2008 then you won't have a storage server. is this true? You can replace the Storage Server Server 2008?
  ----------------------------------------------------------------
  If you have time then you can provide a link to a site that provides Windows server 2008 r2 or Server 2008 tutorials for beginners like me

• clean reinstall with fast storage intel ROM

  After a series of hickups, I recently found with a need to reinstall Win 7 on a Dell Inpiron 7250, which came with an SSD and a 1 TB hard drive. Hardware diagnostic shows no errors. The problem is that when I try to reinstall the OS OEM DVD of the Bios menu is set to Intel Rapid Storage, but installation is not possible. It seems there is no disk to install to. With the BIOS value AHC installation works, but I end up losing the SSD and Intel RST feature. Having quickly skimmed manual Intel, it seems that what Miss me is: option technology Rapid Storage Technology ROM. How can I reinstall the which?

  I need a set of foolproof step-by-step instructions that starts from a totally clean system. Can't help but wonder why the OEM DVD system is not able to put the system in place from scratch.

  1. Windows installation media, and the UEFI BIOS settings?

  Did you get a USB key of resettlement set to be installed in the UEFI with GPT partition scheme in FAT32? You have active UEFI, disabled SecureBoot and USB Debug active (USB 3.0 off):

• storage iSCSI with UCS

  Hi all

  Can I ask a question regarding the connection of iSCSI storage for use with UCS. Look at us with Nimble iSCSI based storage & want to understand best practice recommendations on how to connect it to UCS to get the best level of performance & reliability / resilience etc.

  Another issue is more closely how VMware deals with loss of connectivity on a path (where double connections are the installation program from the warehouse to the tissues), would he re - route traffic to the path running?

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

• On creative cloud storage

  After a year of membership cloud creative, I thought I'd give to cloud storage a go for my photographic images however, it tells me I have 2 GB! Not much chance of him replace my external hard drive or a DVD. Any suggestions?

  You get 20 GB, but that does not mean that you should not make local backups. Relying exclusively on something as notoriously little reliable and unstable as CC storage would be like in the disaster waiting to happen... That said, your storage problems are probably sign-in partner, in order to check this:

  Log, activation, or connection errors. CS5.5 and later, Acrobat DC

  Also check the status of the storage on the web site, not only through the CC app.

• photos of the restoration to the new storage location

  I am a relatively new user of Lightroom 5. I had to buy a bigger external drive for my photos and need to move from the old disk to the new. When I try to move them with the feature to import/move Lightroom 5, the import button remains Gray and I cannot understand why. The message says only don't: "no pictures to import", or if the photos are displayed in the central panel, I can't select them. When I tried to manually copy the main folder on the new external drive, I lost all my data catalog for them (of course) but may not know how to apply the catalog pictures in the new location. Now, I'm pretty nervous about any future occasion where I really lose my main storage location and need to collect photos and backup catalog. I tried the user manual and tried to search the web, but no luck yet. Can anyone say about that?

  Images are only once imported into Lightroom. What import points Lightroom processes where they are stored in your system. After that, it is simply a process of moving images when necessary. The best thing to do is to import once and leave the images in this place. But in your situation it seems that if the travel is necessary to allow you to host more images.

  There are two different methods of sequence animated images in Lightroom. Since they are already imported and available in the catalog, you cannot use the import dialog box. Instead, you can go to the library module and find the folder you want to move the folder tree in the left panel and drag it to the other disk if it is available in the library folder tree. I think you will find that this is the method recommended in the literature of Lightroom which is available. However, it seems that when you use this method a few images for a reason any does not move. So, there is another method that I personally prefer.

  My preferred method is to use Windows Explorer or the Finder to move the images to a new location. In doing so, I suggest you move records or folder trees if possible. When you open Lightroom after moving files Lightroom will indicate that the files are missing. But do not panic. All that is necessary is to right-click on the highest folder Lightroom indicates is missing and choose find missing files. Then you will be presented with a dialog box that you will navigate on the new hard drive and find the folder and choose this location. Once you have chosen the new location that everything will sync and your work can continue.

  As I mentioned previously, it is really best if you must never pass images. But to absolutely it is relatively simple to do. If you want to only move a few images in a folder, it is possible to highlight images in the library grid and drag to another folder in the folder hierarchy. But if you do a vast movement of my preferred method is probably more reliable. Here is a page of instructions that might help you understand the process of searching for the files or missing files, here are the instructions on how to get things synchronized again:

• The pictures/catalogue on a NAS storage

  Hi all

  I have a Macbook Pro on my network and also a desktop computer. I want to do is to store my photos on my NAS and run the catalog from there, if I can share on both computers. However when I try to point to a network directory that LR has told me he is not able to do. Is there a way to get around this? I would like to be able to store on the server and work from there.

  See you soon

  LR does not support the good catalog storage on network volumes, but you can store photos on network volumes.  There are two solutions of workaround for the restriction of catalogue:

  -Keep your photos on a network volume and use Dropbox (or similar) to synchronize the catalog file between your computers.

  -Create an image disk writable on the network drive and store your catalog in this disk image.

  There are discussions in this forum and the official feedback Adobe forum giving more details on them. No work around is officially supported.  I have tried both methods, but I feel like the other threads, is that they could be fragile.   So make sure that you have reliable, tested backups of your catalog.

• Reflections on "Extensible" storage (local, non - SAN) in ESXi 5

  I'm looking for advice/thoughts on this kind of the storage configuration I should consider small deployment of virtual machines.  I'll try to give some general advice and what kinds of compromises and limits, I work with.

  • No SAN: all storage is local.  Right now, I'm working with a couple of servers Cisco UCS, with anywhere from ~ 300 SSD ~ 4 TB of SATA storage drives.  New: all the disks are local, a San is not in the scope/estimates for this.  Willing to accept that this is not optimal but also need to do the best I can here.
  • Operating systems are for the most part win2008, win7, linux.  Maybe others, but these are dominant.
  • Essential condition is to be able to "push" files over time systems.
    • We know that * some * of these servers will grow considerably in their storage needs.  Unfortunately, we do not know who is not possible to pre-configure the large disk on each of them from the outset.

  So I have a few questions of high level... some of them are probably basic/stupid, and for that I apologize.  My background is heavy network, PC/server systems that are quite heavy, but very light on storage.

  • How effective is thin provisioning?  If my physical hard drive, is that just an array of RAID5 2 TB shared 20 VM... is possible/reasonable just configure each virtual machine with a disc of 2 TB thin-set in service, and then control the real storage because it develops over time?
  • Assuming that my RAID controller supports adding online records in the table, it's a reasonable thing to consider?  I * am * in a position where take down physical hosts for maintenance is not just a deal, so if I can add more disks in the array later she is great OK if it takes a couple hours of time offline.  I am trying to understand if the following workflow is possible, and if possible is considered reasoanbly safe?
  • Suppose a host with 4x500G than SATA drives in a RAID5 array, it's a large store of data single VMFS where everything lives...  On this host, we have a number of linux VMs each with a small disc of BONE and a larger data drive (let's call it 600GO).  At some point, the vmfs data store is close to full, and I want to expand it... What are my options here?
    • I can do something like this:
  1. Turn off the VMs, shut down the server.  (it's OK...)
  2. Add additional physical disks on the machine and push the matrix RAID controller level (I realize that this might take a while)
  3. Start, expand the vmfs data store in ESXI (is it possible?  If so, how?)
  4. increase the size of the disk assigned to the greedy VM in storage in ESXi
  5. Start the virtual machine, extend the partition, and then push the file system (I know how to Linux, is it feasible in windows?)

  anyway... it's probably more enough questions to get started.  I appreciate some advice/ideas that people might have.

  To monitor the growth of the VMFS data and store what I understand, you want an automatic transmission incase a threshold defined by you exceed you must first configure the IP address of the smtp server of vCenter parameters. After that, go to the alarm at the level of the data center and to go in the store of data use alarm properties reports tab, select Add and sets the e-mail address of your part there.

• Local storage for ESXi - SD USB or a traditional hard drive

  We will replace our ESX host soon with new hardware and I'm on the fence about the use of a player USB SD 4 GB or traditional hard drives in a RAID. Obviously, the reader SD has its advantages, namely its speed and reliability, but is reliable enough to give up using redundant hard drives?

  As someone mentioned previously, we spend much of our time concerned with our redundant hard disks, expecting to fail. Several times the failure is related to moving parts in the drive also. SD readers have the pleasure of having no moving parts to wear out or fail. But what good are they?

  Sells the dealer that I spoke with them for 3 years and never heard of a failure. His $62 for 4 GB, so it's not a bottom of the line edit. It is designed to be in a HP DL380G7, once again, I doubt that it is a lower end model.

  I'm leaning toward the SD drive rather than traditional drives, but I wanted to get feedback from others who may have used this before configuration. I'm looking for the successes and failures (and the reason for the failure).

  4 GB is enough for installation (ESXi 4.1) and I have not any more local storage as VM is on the shared storage and the assistance as AppSpeed and esXpress VM program I can also install it on the shared storage (where in our current datacenter these are installed on the local storage). Or should I worry about this size with respect to logging or something else?

  Thanks in advance, please discuss.

  I had a fight 100 ESX hosts running by USB - only questions I ever had were with the original green USB keys that HP provided in the first days of ESXi on USB.

  I like the approach of USB for several reasons:

  1. no local physical disk required, less moving parts = less material problems

  2. If you have local physical disks, you can use these as the dumping grounds for the ISOs etc.

  3. If rebuilding a server, I can remove the old USB key and press a new - and recover simply by replacing the OLD USB key

  4. I can pre-generate a USB one double key as a method of construction of servers in bulk (not tested on 4.1u1 well)

  5. I've had many many hard drive failures. . USB (except Green HP ones) have never failed on me.

  In addition, your syslog problem isn't treally a 0 - practice problem is to get servers to connect to a centralized in any case syslog box (I would even if I used not USB/SD)

  Good luck - let us know what you decide.
