replaced RAID controller - new signature or use existing assignment request

Hello

Recently, I replaced a problematic to find RAID controller that the virtual drives are not mounted automatically by VMWare after a reboot.  I guess it's because when I add data warehouses, I wonder to use the existing disk signature or to assign a new signature.  At the beginning, I chose to use the existing one.  If I chose to create a new signature, this will solve my problem of mounting disks does not automatically?  If so, my BONES existing comments will be tactful or they might have problems?

Resignaturing a data store should not harm the data on this subject. However, after resignaturing you can see all the VMS in the inventory as inaccessible and need to remove the inventory and add their .vmx files in the data store Navigator right click. What you can try is to manually mount persistently store data from the command line to see if that solves the problem without resignaturing (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1011387).

  • Signature LUN after replacement of the RAID controller

    I have the following scenario:

    I had a Cisco UCS server with an LSI controller. I needed to replace the controller to another, the same form, different model.

    I've done the replacement physical, powered on the server. ESXi starts fine, but no data store appears. Data warehouses are on the local hard drive. There is no remote storage.

    When I try to add the data store, I had 2 options of mainly:

    -Keep the existing signature

    -A new signature assing.

    I'm sure both will work, and I'd go with the first.

    However, I would like to know what impact the selection of one of these options. Similar cases, I will, will that be the best since I'm on a new material for RAID controller?

    Or would it not matter at all if I keep the same signature?

    I have beenr of reading on these 2 options, and for local storage, they do not seem to make any difference, but would like to know any other thoughts.

    I kinda fear Award for a new signature.

    Thank you.

    Due to the replacement of the controller, the ESXi host now recognizes the LUN as a snapshot LUN, it contains a signature known, but it is presented to another controller. Given that you can ensure that the logic unit number is unique, I don't see a requirement for resignaturing it.

  • Problem with RAID array after replacing defective RAID controller - Volume is currently in INACTIVE/GRADIENT condition

    We have a Dell PowerEdge 840, who had the RAID controller out yesterday - the system has come from a "ERROR!" Faulty card message.

    We replaced the controller with one we had shipped from one day to the next. System has been turned off, we made sure the installed updated Earth, etc etc. As soon as the system voltage, the following message came on the screen:

    ===============================

    Exception of RAID integrated detected:

    What should I do to rebuild the table and see the data? Apparently, the server crashed some time after the office closed last Friday, but before that backups ran, so that we have not backed up the data on Friday.

    Thank you

    Baskervi,

    Start the BIOS of the controller (CTRL-C)

    Select the controller

    This will bring you to the adapter properties window.

    Use the arrow keys to highlight and select Properties RAID, press on enter.

    This brings you to the window again select array Type, there is now an option to view existing matrix. Using the arrow keys, select view existing array,

    Select the Inactive matrix. Select manage the Array.

    The only options available is to activate the table or delete the table. In order to get this controller to accept the disk configuration, select Activate array by using the arrow keys to highlight, and then press ENTER.

    Confirm Activation.

    Return to the main menu and select SAS topology and check that the two tables are active.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • HP MSA2312sa G2 RAID Controller replacement

    I recently noticed that 1 2 RAID on a HP MSA2312sa G2 Modular Smart Array controllers didn't.  Everything changed the controller, one which is still in good health, so everything is still in place and running.

    However, my question is to know if I can exchange hot failed by a new RAID controller or if I should close the appliance and all attached hosts down to make the replacement of material.

    Any help is appreciated because it's a device I don't have much experience with.

    Thank you

    Is there best kinds of batteries that this RAID controller could use compared to the one we intend to order?

    Please notify.

    Thank you

    You might consider updating the controller firmware (after are updated BIOS, ESM and the controller driver), which controls the State of the battery.  Otherwise, the battery that you accessed should be good... it is not really other "types" of batteries that will work.

    You are allowed to activate the software on two computers. If this is your second installation on the new machine, the software should assign without problem.

  • RAID controller with using SED (Self-encrypting drives)

    Hello!

    Only the H700 and H800 controllers have management of security keys in the BIOS Configuration utility?

    I have PERC Perc 5i SAS RAID controller and I want to use SED, what can I do? It is a software solution for key management?

    Nestor22,

    With the Perc 5 controller / i you can't use sed, the first controller that supported was the H700. It is not a software solution that I know. Depending on the server you have, you can consider the upgrade to the H700. If you let me know the model then I might let you know compatibility and the part number.

    Let me know.

  • steps to create the new table using existing metadata

    Hi all


    That's what I want to achieve,

    I want to create a procedure that will take an input parameter as a table name lets say 'EMP ',.
    This procedure checks if this table exists or not?
    If they don't exist
    It will create a new table with the name _dummy join the existing table name (ex: new table will be EMP_DUMMY).
    and new table should have the same structure of the table, indexes, and constraints on the EMP table.


    NB: It should not be created using select as create table EMP_DUMMY select * from EMP where = condition false;



    Can someone help me please how to achieve this?

  • Anyone using the 1213-4i Areca RAID controller?

    I have i7 - 2600K and the card mother ASUS P8P67 Pro and having still a heck of a time getting good performance of my readers. Considering a 3rd party RAID controller. Currently have two RAID 0 (2 discs each SATA 6 G) internally. One for the storage of the capture and the other for previews/pagefile.

  • T130 PowerEdge RAID controller onboard or get a card?

    Finally, we got a budget to replace our entire PoS system and got a PowerEdge T130 to replace our T110. What I'm not clear on the RAID controller embedded - is it only the software, hardware or some hybrids; and what are the levels of RAID support? The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

    Our range of SSD in our existing server still in excellent condition, so I want to migrate it on when I'm done configures OS and PoS software. Should I go into BIOS, set up the RAID controller and see what levels he'll give me or I'd better use the physical map of the T110 in the T130? The T110 is currently using a PERC S300 card with 4 SSD in RAID10. Alternatively, can anyone point me to a better RAID card for this server which would do well to RAID10? I shortly before the system goes into the production environment, so I want to change my hardware now while I still can.

    It is only the second build of the full server that I have used in the past 6 years. Would like to hear the thoughts of anyone T130, RAID, etc. Finally, moving into the world of 64-bit, thank God.

    Software only - it is based on the Intel RAID chipset and supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 volumes and non-RAID. It should be avoided.

    htc2010
    The existing facility is with SATA AHCI and RAID1 controllers in Windows Server 2008 R2 value.

    This is what should be done with the integrated RAID controller (S130 - off and mirrored in the operating system instead - IF hardware RAID, which is preferable, is not checked).

    htc2010
    Should I go into the BIOS, change the RAID controller and see what levels he will give me

    Still once, I you would recommend against the use of the S130, AND you can't replace non-RAID RAID on the fly. It would require reinstallation or backup/restore.

    The S300, while only slightly better than the S130, is not supported in the T130. I would recommend the H730 or the H330 if you absolutely cannot spend the money for the H730 (they are cheaper suppliers that Dell directly). The two become RAID 10. The H330 will give you about the performance of your S300. If none of them are selected, I'd go with what you vascular (the S130 is your only other option 'supported', and it's garbage). If this system is heavily used, I highly recommend, but if the H730 moderately or less software RAID is fine (you have SSD in the new configuration, I take it...).

  • Change of the 2950 server RAID controller

    I have a configured server with RAID-1 I just want to know how I can change the current installed RAID card with a new one without destroying my existing RAID Array.

    Power off, unplug, replace the controller, plug it in, turn it on. Start the CTRL-R utility. If he recognizes the table as optimal and online, then you're done. If he doesn't and lists a 'foreign' configuration, then you must IMPORT the foreign configuration before proceeding.

  • Upgrade 2 T110 S300-based hardware RAID controller

    I have a Power Edge T110 2 provided with a PERC S300 SAS controller attached to 6 internal drives and execution of Win2008R2. I'm about to rebuild the tower as well as a Ubuntu Linux server and need to change the S300 with something that is hardware RAID. I'm looking to the PERC H200 as substitute, however I have a few problems.

    Mainly, the H200 seems to have internal mini SAS 26 pins, while the S300 has 32 large internal regular PIN. Would normally not be a problem, but the T110 also shipped with a certain type of cable combo, which integrates the internal Rod 32 with for each of the four HDDs that it can reach the food.
    In addition, it seems that this combo cable is integrated on the power supply.
    I need to understand what the card can I use to replace my software RAID controller with a hardware RAID controller and always use the combo cable OR how can I replace the cable with the new card.
    Thank you!

    Part number 342-3389 includes the necessary cables.
