Replace a HARD drive in RAID 1 PowerEdge 2950, question on the process

Having never had to replace a HARD drive in a RAID 1 configuration on a PowerEdge 2950 Server (PERC 5 / i).

Can I do put in custody or from a cold start?

I replaced the HDD failure with the new HARD drive with the same part number.

This is my boot volume, so I don't want to spoil...

If the data is critical, and you don't have a backup, get one now.

NEVER stop a server to introduce a disk. If the reader poster pred fail, force the drive offline first, then remove it. If it is already broken, then just pull it off.

    Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

    If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.

  • Need an SSD to replace my HARD drive in 15 "model end of 2011 of the MBP

    I use the original disc of hard - 750 GB - provided with the MBP (late 2011 model), but its very slow and I want out parts of the HARD drive before it dies. (I also have a Quad Core i7 processor - another reason I want to keep this MBP, rather than having to buy a new for $3 k).

    I watched the SanDisk SSD. Later those go up to 960 GB of storage, but they are SATA III models and my MBP has only capacity SATA II with a link speed negotiated 3. GBs WHEREAS the SATA III new models (SanDisk/Samsung) can handle up to 6 GBs. SanDisk Tech Support told me I could use their latest models SATA III , but the speed would be actually slower that my current set up.

    Thus, all other options for me? for one SSD that is compatible with my MBP and increase the speed?

    Thank you! Appreciate any help!

  • Replace all hard drives

    Hello

    I have two PS5000E without.  One is the production and the other is off site and contains only replicas.  I need to increase capacity on the SAN production so I will replace all 16 discs with 2 TB drives, and I also want to move the RAID level of 5 to 6.

    I only have not supported with Dell more so instead of borrow a San to a rep, I plan to use SAN offsite to help me with the process, and I'm ok with not having DR is not for the few days that it will take.  I have backups.

    I think my plan is healthy, but I would like to hear from an expert before I go ahead with it.  What I intend to do is:

    1. Save the config for the DR SAN
    2. Break replication
    3. Bring the DR SAN on site
    4. Attach a serial cable, turn on and run reset to restore the config factory
    5. Run Remote Setup Wizard to set up and attach it to the Group on the site
    6. Remove the Member on the site of the Group on the site
    7. Wait for data to be moved to the DR SAN
    8. Replace all hard drives in the on-site SAN
    9. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize and he join the band on the spot
    10. Remove the DR SAN of the Group on the site
    11. Wait for data to be moved to the square of SAN
    12. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize it
    13. Copy recorded in DR SAN configuration file and restore the original config
    14. Return of the DR SAN to its location off site
    15. Reenable replication

    I'm doing this right?  Is there an easier way?

    Looking forward to your answers.

    Curt

    Firstly, according to the firmware, if new readers are dell disks they will be rejected by the frimware.

    Two.  Assuming that the 2 TB drives are OK, there is a way more simple that does not require you to reconfigure your table of DR.

    Replication pause 1.).

    2.) stop of the table of DR.

    3.) table offf DR power, remove and package upward DR drives, but leave them on the DR site.

    4.) chassis Bring DR w/o readers to the main site.

    5.) cable chassis DR

    Stop 6) primary site servers.

    7.) stop of the main table.

    8.) remove readers of the main site of the chassis and install these drives in empty chassis of DR.

    9.) power return to the top and check it came OK online.

    10.) install new drives 2 TB in the main frame.

    11.) power up and add it to the main group.

    12.) add the 2 TB array in its own pool.

    13.) create the RAIDset RAID6 and let it complete the construction.   Make sure that all network ports are configured and upward.

    Fusion 14.) the pools and the data will start interlacing to the new Member.

    (15.) once you see data moves OK the new Member, select the 'old' member of the DR chassi and move this member to the temp pool.

    16.) once all data is migrated, reset the table of chassis DR.

    17.) remove the drive from the chassis DR.

    18.) frame to move to the site of DR.  Readers to back power and above.

    19.) re - enable replication

    Anyone can provide guidance for this?

    I just need directions on how to enter the case in the HD Email me offline if need be.

    Thank you

    Hi Roger

    Well, if you're a PC technician should not be very difficult for you to change the HARD drive. An Assembly of all laptops is very similar and it should be possible for you to change or find the HARD drive without any detailed instructions.
    But nevertheless, I'll try to help you:

    Before starting the procedure, please remove the battery.
    Then remove the keyboard. To remove the keyboard remove cover of the band. The status indicator panel aims to snap
    in place. Do not use excessive force to remove or replace.
    Remove the 3 screws on the button of the unit. (There are K brand around the screw hole). Remove the four screws now the keyboard in place.
    Now carefully lift the keyboard.
    Pull up on the keyboard FPC Connector and locking of safety for the FPC T/P connector upwards.
    Then remove the screw Combo Module 1. Remove the door from the ram.
    Remove the screw Combo Module (m2, 5 + 18FP) in now the Combo Module in place.
    Pull on the Combo Module FPC Connector.
    Then the Module Combo will be fired, you can easily out entirely easily Module Combo

    Remove the system status indicator Panel. The status indicator panel is designed to snap into place. Do not use excessive force to remove or replace.
    Remove the four screws now the keyboard in place.
    Now carefully lift the keyboard, placing it face down on the touchpad. Ensure that you n t damage the Ribbon attached to the keyboard cable.
    Remove the two screws (screw M2, 5 + 4FP) secure the hard-drive.
    Hold the hard drive at the end of transportation by car. With same firm pressure, slide the hard drive in the direction indicated, you will feel it disconnect. Now take out the Bay HARD drive. Store your HARD drive Module in a safe and dry in the direct light of the Sun or heat.

    Hope this will help you ;)

  • After replacing a hard drive

    I just replaced a hard drive on my pavilllion p6210f.  I need to know what to do next.  All I have is a 7 (64-bit) windows repair disc I made when I got the computer.  It did not come with any CD. What should I do next?

    You did just the repair disk or the recovery partion disk? The recovery partion disk should have 3 or 4 discs. Is where the installation discs are now, they are made from the recovery partition, saving money to have the discs are provided with all computers.  If this isn't the case, the only thing to do is go to drivers and support for your model page and hope they have the factory drives listed. You pay shipping.

  • Help, I need to replace my hard drive in my hp pavilion a6863w how can I do this?

    The surface of the hard drive, test and get the test failed, a seagate 2 TB SSHD. I want to install it and I'm sure that I can do, but I need to know if I should leave the wrong disc in and just add this one, if I do this will it take all other cables, if yes, I'd rather just old-fashioned.
    I have the recovery install disks that I made when I bought first. I used these b4 to reinstall.

    I just need to know the steps if I add the 2nd disc or steps (if I need a cable) to replace the old disk with a new disk. This player would be my boot drive? When I ask for the steps, I'm more concerned about turning off the computer and what is it I have unplugged, etc.. Then once the new drive up, just run the recovery discs or y at - it an easier way?
    I tried to run a backup, but he stopped and wouldn't let me. I have all my important things like photo movies already saved etc.

Put the new drive in the same place as the old one and use the same cables (data and power) who were connected on.

    You will need to borrow an installation disc to a former operating system Microsoft - Windows 95, 98 or me. There is no way around it. If person don't you know is an older drive, you can borrow for a few minutes, you will need, you will need to either buy a copy full XP or take the unit to a local computer professional to do the XP installation for you.

  • to replace my hard drive from 160g to 500g, what do I know

    you want to replace my hard drive on a compaq presario sr055cl. It has a drive hard 160 g what size I can

    Here is the service manual showing how to replace a hard drive:

    Manual

    It has 2 SATA connectors. Here is a picture of the motherboard.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00069442

    It's primitive SATA. It is a SATA connection to an IDE bus. However, having a 160 gig drive already installed tells me that the motherboard will accept Large Block Addressing 48 bit (LBA48), which means that you are not really limited by size. I am sure a 500 gig drive will work and will bet that a 1 TB would also work. I also bet you would have problems with a disc high density 2 TB or more. The existing drive is an IDE, which means that it is connected to the motherboard with a flat ribbon cable. You will have a hard time finding an IDE drive on the market these days. It must be SATA. Simply attach a cable SATA data between the hard drive and the motherboard. You probably need a molex (4pin white) SATA power adapter, too, but often those that come with the hard disk or are available for a couple of bucks at the store where they sell hard drives.

    You should be able to clone the old drive using the new cloning software. I like and recommend Acronis True Image Home. If I did that I plug the new SATA drive into the port of the motherboard with the cover side and power also make the SATA drive. I would leave the original disc in and start cloning software disk doing a proportional resizing, all partitions are extended by the same percentage. After the clone is done remove the original disk and bolt the SATA drive in its place. I would just say allows you to add a second hard drive, but the computer doesn't have space for one unless you want to remove the card reader.

    You may need to enable the SATA ports in the BIOS if they are not currently in use. Photo linked above motherboard page shows how to enter the BIOS. If you need assistance.
