Replace drives in Perc 4/Di RAID 1 with the largest capacity of the disks without the need of resettlement

Hi all

I need support for readers to replace Perc 4/Di (we need more free space!)

OS: Windows Server 2003

Actually: Raid 1-> 2 x 146 GB drives

Next: Raid 1-> 2 x 300 GB drives

Volume C: (System Partition)

Volume D: (data)

The system partition is on the table. I'm running out of space, so I intend to replace the 146 GB drives with 300 GB drives.

My question is, how do I replace the array to use all the space on the 300 GB drives without having to reinstall the system? And once I have the table showing 300 GB, what is the best way to extend the system partition and your data?

Tanks in advance.

  • I can create RAID 0 with the Satellite A200-23 s

    Hello!
    -----
    I have Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s.
    This laptop has two (200 GB) HARD drives.
    Can I create RAID 0 with this HARD drive?
    -----
    P.S. Sorry for my bad English

    Hello

    First you must know that the A200 doesn t series support RAID technology!
    Therefore, the RAID-0 is not possible.

    The phone supports 2 hard drives, but you cannot use RAID settings.
    The two hard drives can be used separately and independent of each other

  • Reference Dell T610 with 5 hard drive problem (5x2TB) while create RAID 5 with all the HARD drive. :(

    Dear Sir.

    While I have already configured the RAID 5 with 5 disks, then the OS (windows 2008 R2) installation step I saw 2 separate partitions. and can I install it on the partition with only 2 TB. Another, we can't. So during my installation completed OS, then I can use only 2 TB, for another volume is about 5 TB can't do anything. Can I do the RAID 5 with 5 disks (10 TB)?

    I wait your helpful to my set.

    Thank you.

    This is new server, there is not any data yet so I can reinstall. What I want is that I just want to RAID 5 until I started my DC project. I already look for how to convert to GPT, but I'm not at all.  I know that I can't convert GPT as the OS in the same disk but that is because I try to configure RAID 5 and OS, but while over OS I do not see another 5 to just see only 2 TB.

    I don't understand most of what you wrote.  You must activate the UEFI (below), then convert to GPT before installing Windows.

    silamay
    How can I install on a UEFI system?

    The T610 supports UEFI, but must be allowed.  Start the BIOS (F2) Setup and change the boot mode in the UEFI instead of BIOS/inheritance.

    Your alternative is to create a RAID 5 using all disks, but the definition of the size as something as small as 2 to, then another RAID 5 with space remaining.  Each table will be displayed in Windows as a separate 'drive' - you can then install normally in the smallest 'drive '.

    Thanks for the reply with the details,

    You can activate the Device Manager to view hidden devices by following the steps mentioned below:

    To work around this behavior and display devices when you click Show hidden devices:

    1. Click Start, point to programs, point to Accessories, and then click command prompt.
    2. At a command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

      Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1

    Uninstall all software and drivers for printers:

    When you need to uninstall a driver completely, the best and safest method is to use the uninstaller of the device (if it has one). If you have added the device to your system with a Setup program (as is the case with most of the graphics card and sound card drivers, for example), you can uninstall it as you would any other program.

    1. Click Start, type uninstall program, and then press enter.
    2. In the uninstall window, which appears, scroll through the list and find your device or drivers. Double-click the entry to start the uninstall process.

    Sometimes devices will not have an uninstall program or the uninstall program will not appear in the list. In these cases, you can use Device Manager to remove the driver completely.

    1. Click Start, type Device Managerand press enter.
    2. Find and double click on the category of the device you want to uninstall (for example, the graphic card would be listed under display card) driver.
    3. Right click on the device, and then click Uninstall.
    4. Windows prompts you to confirm the removal of the device. Click OK to remove the driver.
    5. Once the uninstall is complete, restart your computer as soon as possible.

    Once the above steps are done, click here to download the full software features for your printer and follow the Setup process to start to use your printer again.

  • have files on a drive that have been defined as private and the need to open. Disc got a blue screen

    On my laptop, I had a logon administrator who has been in private. The computer has a blue screen. I ran the XP CD repair disk and that took care of the blue screen, but it would not go as far as allowing me to re-authenicate the license on XP. It froze just straight up. I took chase him and attempted to transfer the files to another drive, and authorities wouldn't allow it. Need either re authenticate the reader to allow access, or find a way to UN-encrypt files and transfer them.

    Hello

    • What is the error you receive on the license?
    • You are able to start Windows after the installation of repair?

    If you are able to start, you can check out these methods:

    a.Open workstation
     
    b. double-click the drive where Windows is installed (usually drive (C :), unless you have more than one drive on your computer).)

    If the contents of the drive is hidden, under system management, click Show the contents of this drive.

    Hi Colwich Campbell,

    First of all, I would say that you run the tool on the computer disk cleanup and check if it works.

    1. open Disk Cleanup by clicking the Start button, all programs, Accessories, clicking System Tools, and then click Disk Cleanup.
    2. in the Disk Cleanup Options dialog box, choose whether you want to clean your own files only or all files on the computer. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. If the Disk Cleanup: drive Selection dialog box appears, select the hard disk you want to clean and then click OK.
    4. click the Disk Cleanup tab and select the check boxes for files that you want to remove.
    5. When you have finished select the files you want to delete, click OK, and then click on delete files to confirm the operation. Disk Cleanup on delete all unnecessary files from your computer.

    We can also analyze your computer for any malware or virus infection, and check if it works.

  • Alignment of drive for PERC 5i SATA RAID 5

    Forum of HI, I read many posts and document best practice VMWare on alignment of disc and I have a question.

    The document and the posts I've read all assume that SAN is used for storage. My question is:

    These guidelines work for storage space including 4 SATA 7200 drive RAID 5 array using PERC 5i as well?

    I created my VMFS using then the fdisk command gui Lu gave 128 as a point of departure but on the comments file systems. Keeping in mind that I'm not using SAN shouldn't I always align the partition of windows NT from 64 K or should it be something else?

    Please notify.

    Thank you!

    And my question is can I I align comments to 64 K victory discs or should the number to be anything?

    The starting block indicates where to START data.  So it is divisible by 64K, that's fine.  It should be the default value, which is 64 k, however Windows 2008 using a slightly different boot / MBR table, which is why marketing to the address which is 1024K, but I would no Windows 2003 start to 1024, 64K will be fine.

  • PERC 6 / i RAID 5 with different size disks

    Is it possible to have a RAID 5 virtual disk on a PERC 6 / I card 2 500 GB drives, 1 disc 1 to?
    It is not a question if the third disk, only 500 GB will be used. All the disks are 3.5 inches and NearLine SAS 7200 RPM

    Thank you

    Philippe

    If all 3 disks are 3.5 inches and NLSAS and the only difference is a 1 TB drive and 2 other drives are 500 GB then Yes you should be able to create the raid 5 array. However, the table will use 500 GB of the 1 TB drive. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

  • Reference Dell PERC H710P: Firmware hangs on Windows RTM 8.1 with the default driver

    My H710P Dell (with the last FW A04) PERC was working completely fine with the driver 5.2.220.64 on Windows 8, until recently, I tried installing Windows RTM 8.1 on the machine, it caused hang FW at the launch of the Windows installation:

    Windows 8.1 was delivered with the version of the downloadable 6.801.5.0 driver from Dell, I also tried and committed in my opinion the FW even hanging the question.

    I'm afraid - anyone know what is happening?

    See you soon

    Chris

    Appearantly this is related to the latest driver from Dell. I've found a workaround, but it's a bit complicated:

    1 connect a USB stick which is big enough

    2. install Wndows 8.1 on the * USB drive *.

    3. start Windows, and then remove the current driver and install the previous driver for Windows Server 2012.

    4. use the 3rd party software (say that Ghost) to copy the windows from USB drive to VD on Dell PERC H710P controller.

    5. start Windows in the USB drive again and use 'bcdedit' to clean boot stuff

    in any case, I'm LSI 9361-8i, so it won't be a problem for me in the future...

  • Why can't replace my drive hard hp compaq 6200SFF 250gig with the largest disk

    I think I posted this in the wrong section earlier.   I want to replace my drive hard HP Compaq 6200SFF with a larger 250gig. I've done it before with other computers with no problems. I bought a 500gig drive at a local store and makes a picture of Symantec Ghost (option was image-boot) to my 250gig drive.    Then I installed the drive and started again with my ghost drive.  Normally I just launch the function of disk image restore to restore the image of the old drive to the new drive.  When I tried to do with the 6200, very well restored ghost image but as soon as I start on the new drive, I get an error message saying that "windows does not stop normally.   I never get to see the Windows Startup logo and welcome screen or something else than this black screen with white letters.  Windows did end normally when I was last using the 250 GB drive and it will power off.  I can't get the restart to go further - I just get the same error screen - there is no options or choice - all said the message is to call your service representative.  Is there something special about 6200 readers?  Do you need to do something instead of or in addition to making a ghost image?  Is it something in the bios that should reset itself?

    Thank you, Hanspuppa.  I think you have a more recent version of Acronis, I ghost.  However, I was able to solve my problem using the Windows repair disk.  I ghost a disk image (ghost - ib) of my drive hard old man and then did a ' local disk image - of ' put the image on my new drive.  I received the repetitive message "Windows 7 does not normally" but then inserted the windows repair disk and booted from it.  He finds that the boot image on the new drive was bad and repaired.  He did not cela easily - reboot/turn off many times before the finished repair disk, I had and the pc booted from the new hard drive properly.  Now, I can do this with windows 7 and the emulation of hard drive has been to AHCI.  Knit a friend and I tried to do this on an another HP6200 with an image of Windows XP. We did not have a handy XP repair disk, but we went in the settings of the bios under storage on disk and passed the SATA AHCI to IDE emulation.  When we restarted Windows message here once, we supported on enter and him went pc to boot normally.  So the problem revolved around the difference in the AHCI IDE and the boot image created by Ghost.

  • Problems with the graphics to Equium A60 driver

    Hello everyone,

    First sorry for my bad English.

    I have some problems with my graphics card driver. After a new installation, I wanted to just install the driver for the ATI Radeon 7000 (I have an Equium A60), after that, I noticed that my pc was down. The problem was because the driver, I'm sure, because after a fresh install, without the drive VGA, my laptop works, somehow... I mean, I don't know it might work if the graphics would have a clean driver better.

    I searched on the web and saw that it was not a new problem; many people have the same problem with it. Somehow, the driver of the computer is not compatible.
    Could someone help me find a solution to my problem?
    Thank you very much

    Sorry my friend, but your ad looks really amazing. Driver Toshiba of origin is not compatible with the hardware. It cannot be. It cannot be the truth!

    Your model of laptop is almost 4 years and I assume that Toshiba had enough time to react if the display driver is somewhat problematic. I recommend you to backup all your data and try to install your laptop using original recovery image. If there is no hardware problem notebook should work again well.

    Sorry, but I don't see another solution because the pilot is certainly tested and it should work.
