Replacing a drive in RAID 5 PERC 5i

• Adding a replacement disk in a RAID 5 (PERC S300) replacement hot

  I scoured through comments and think I have the solution almost, but would confirm or correct if possible.

  Have a PowerEdge R310, four 500 GB drives, RAID 5, with one of these defined as Global Hot Spare drives.  One of the spare wheel failed, hot (003) disks has done its job and kept during the RAID.

  Put in the replacement drive in and can see it is Ready on physical disks via manage open.  More I noticed that he as a Non Raid virtual drive virtual drives.

  I thought it was to automatically rebuild the RAID after the disc has been inserted, but it didn't.  I started to reconfigure it on existing RAID, hoping to choose the new disk and start the reconstruction, but he doesn't see the new drive as a physical drive.  I guess that's because the system has assigned the new drive as a new virtual disk.

  I remove the new virtual disk, and then run the reconfigure statement the existing virtual disk of RAID 5 to add the new drive?

  I hope this makes sense and I appreciate any help!  Right now my server is in place and very well, but these 500 GB drives are reliable - I lost an another late last year and replaced him.

  Thanks for the quick response.  If I already have a spare drive (the one who took over after the failure of the other disk), it will allow me to do the new hot spare?

  This player is no longer a "rescue." It is now a member of the array fully operational. You don't have a spare drive. It is also possible to have two hot-spare set.

  I run the Reconfiguration on the RAID 5 in Open Manager after the non - RAID VD is removed?

  No, Reconfigure will EXPAND a virtual disk, usually by adding a physical drive. So if you have a 3-drive RAID 5, you insert a new disk and run the statement reconfigures, you might reconfigure your 3-drive RAID 5 to 4 drive RAID 5 (is worth a drive to storage space by adding to your table/server) or a 4-drive RAID 6 (essentially a RAID 5 with a disc of relief, but instead of relief being a non-member member - only standyby player - help is integrated with the table as a full member. the RAID array results in an additional parity so that two disks can fail while maintaining the availability of the matrix, rather than wait for a player to fail before starting the reconstruction to become a member of the table; RAID 6 is usually best when using very large capacity disks).

• HPE 590 t: replace a drive hard raid 0

  My HPE 590 t has 2 hard drives, set up as a pair of RAID 0 disks. One is dead. I used the low level utility to remove the dead from the RAID 0 config reader. Good record is still listed as a disk RAID 0 member. How can I put a new disc, same model, same everything and re-config this new drive as long as the other half of the RAID 0 configuration on the disk is good?

  You can not. Once the disks are configured in RAID 0, the data is distributed through them. If a disk goes bad data on the other drive is gibberish. Unless the entire RAID-0 has been saved or put in mirror (in other words what RAID-5 is) then the data is lost. I'm sorry. It is even more important to backup when you have a RAID-0 because you the chance of failure is double what it would be with a single disc.

  If all you ask is how to restore the RAID 0 with the new command and the old disk, go into the RAID Ctrl-I utility to start and first remove a player from the table and then restore a RAID 0 with two drives.

• RESOLVED: Loop of reboot after installing new disks in RAID of PERC S100

  A customer has a Dell T110 (with a PERC S100 RAID controller) running Windows 2008 R2. The system has two disks: a reader not RAID (C :) running the operating system and a RAID1 drive (E :) sharing data with network folders.) We need to install again, larger disks for the RAID.

  I thought I could backup the data on the RAID drive existing (e), install new disks, built a new table in the S100 (VDM) virtual disk boot manager, boot into the operating system, create the new partition for the data replaced E: drive and copy the data back. This was not the case. After installing the new disks and the new array of construction (which is reported as "READY (R/W)" when starting, Windows starts all the way in "press CTRL-ALT-DEL to log". After two or three seconds, the system reboots. The same thing happens when I try to start safe mode. The system IS NOT automatically booted to the Recovery Console. He never seems to know that an error occurred and the system was not shut down normally.

  I booted into the Recovery Console, installed the drivers for the PERC S100 and run recovery to start without success. Also in the Recovery Console, I ran 'chkdsk /f E:\. ' (remarkably, the drive letter for the data drive remained the same), and no error has been reported. I also reinstalled drivers S100 of the recovery using DISM Console, but that changed nothing.

  I started to 8.1 Windows PE, installed drivers S100, formatted the virtual disk, copied the data which he, and everything works fine. The only problem is when I try to boot from the system drive (which has no problem) with the new installed disks.

  When I put the old records, the system boots normally with no reconfiguration required. The VDM to start automatically remembers the discs and the table. Nothing shows up in the logs event indicating that there was an error during startup. (Ntbtlog.txt) start-up newspaper, after several boots with the new drives in place, indicates that the system restarts at various times during loading drivers. There is nothing coherent in the startup log to indicate what the problem is.

  The only clue I have is that, during the startup, the VDM reports the virtual drive of origin as 'NORMAL (R/W)' and the new virtual disk as "READY (R/W)", but I'm not sure of the significance of this difference or if it suggests a solution.

  I can't find clues in all the newspapers about what may be the problem. If anyone has any suggestions, I will be grateful. I'll be especially grateful for the wacky suggestions.

  I ran it. Nothing appeared unusual. However, I does not solve the problem.

  I connect the new readers to the same SATA ports as the old records. When I connect one of them to the SATA port that had not been used as part of the original painting, the VDM S100 reported the original failed array, because readers were is more connected and showed the new table as a LOAN. The operating system then started normally.

  The trick, it seems that you should remove the old virtual disk before connecting the new disks on the same ports.

• Satellite U940 - Random BSOD after replacing HARD drive

  Good day ladies and gentlemen!

  I was wondering if I can win some lights here - as I google myself in a bunch of flange on the issue, I have!

  I am a famous computer technician (modest too) and more recently, a client of mine introduced me to a ultrabook Satellite U940 - lovingly with the SSD / HDD Raid 0 configuration running our beloved Windows 8.

  All things according to their entire course - Hitachi hard drive failed (as google tells me is to be expected).

  So, I replace the hard drive by a great little number Western Digital, cloned from Hitachi, sector by sector, and after a significant cajoling with bcdedit and bootrec amount, I could so he could begin our good liked Windows 8.

  However, since then, I have random BSOD, cold boots failed and all sorts of errors.

  I ran all the regular patches - SFC/scannow, chkdsk/r, Windows 8 repair facilities, etc., but it is still volatile jolly.

  Things seem not to be as they were with this Satellite little ol '-before any repair, the peripheral device manager showed two "RAID 0' in the category of hard drives, and since then it shows the individual SSD and the WD HARD drive."

  I've updated the driver for the Intel Rapid Storage at latest on the Toshiba site, but nothing helps - alas!
  The weird part is that if I do a reboot on this little beauty, she starts without any problems, but a start cold after a power off is a completely different question - dummy - spit crashing, dumping, in general!

  If there is a troubleshooting there champion who can destroy my help in this situation, I'd be very impressed and never have if they could provide assistance in this regard.

  Unfortunately Microsoft - are we are all end by using these products of ever-so-pretty Appl?

  Hello

  I read in some discussions here in this forum only after replacing the disk SSD or HARD drive, the RAID configuration is lost and must be rebuilt on a device Windows 8.

  But this can be done very easily, and this can be corrected by an authorized Toshiba because this procedure requires special tools and utilities.

  Unfortunately, it seems to me that you will need to contact the ASP in your country to get this problem resolved :(

• Change to larger hard drives in Raid 1

  Hello

  I have a PowerEdge R710 with 4 x 250 GB, SATA, 7,200 Hotswap TPM. Operating system is Windows SBS 2011. The drives running in Raid 1. A disk with the operating system and a disk with data and the other two discs are then the mirror disks.

  I want to change the discs at 4 x 600 GB SAS 15,000 rpm disks.

  My plan is to start with the data disk. Replace the drive with a new one, then wait for the reconstruction of the mirror and then swap the other drive and wait for the mirror to rebuild again. Then go to disk management in Windows Server and expand the disk at full capacity.

  But this procedure is possible?

  And if not - otherwise, how can I change the hard drives of larger size?

  Kind regards

  Is based on the backup software and type. If your software is capable of recovering "bare metal", there should not be a problem. If you just make a copy of the score, then no, it does not start.

• Replace the drive failed in md1200

  Hello

  I have a drive failing in my md1200. He was part of a redundant virtual disk (raid5) with a hot spare. The virtual drive has been rebuilt with the replacement immediately and shows green. The failed drive flashes orange in the md1200. There is no option to take the disk offline in OpenManage 7.4, just blink/unblink drive. I expect a replacement drive tomorrow. The manual gives me two steps in replacing a drive in the scenario above, the first is:

  1. remove the defective drive. (!)

  Can I simply press the release button and remove the disc out while the leds are flashing orange? Or should I do something else? The cli utility details an order to prepare a disk for removal, but gives no further explanation...

  Pointers would be useful

  Thank you

  Hello davetoo2,

  You can just pull the defective drive off the MD1200 & then once your replacement drive arrived you can insert it into the empty location since your spare disk drive is successfully completed reconstruction. The reader should have turned off once that the MD1200 he marked as failed, but I've seen this happen several times & pulling the reader should not harm your drive virtual raid 5.

  Please let us know if you have any other questions.

• Help needed with two new HHD to RAID 1 PERC 6 / i integrated controller

  We have a client that has an out of warranty PowerEdge T610. On the Dell OpenManage Server Admin, I can see that he can see my 1 RAID PERC 6 / i integrated controller. On one of the controllers, we have a RAID 5 that has 4 discs dedicated to a data store (drive D), we two discs devoted to the Windows SBS 2008 (drive C) operating system on RAID 1.

  When we look at the server, I have physical disks located in:

  Our drive D data store:

  • 0:0:0
  • 0:0:1
  • 0:0:2
  • 0:0:3

  Our reader C found in:

  • 1:0:4
  • 1:0:5

  We just added two new hard drives for RAID 1 based on the conversation we had with Dell, they recommended that we can try from C data to the new larger disks. When to Dell Open Manage looking at the physical disks on the PERC 6 controller / i integrated, I can see that it has detected two new 500 GB SATA drives that the client installed. However the tasks available do not allow me nor their format to use as they appear in the management of the computer as a disk that is available for use. Is there something that we are completely absent here?

  Regarding the new disks located here:

  • 1:0:6
  • 1:0:7

  My options for available tasks are the following:

  • Blink
  • Unblink
  • Assign Global relief
  • Claire...

  I already have them deleted once as I didn't know if they should be formatted to be recognized, but in the computer management disk management they don't even appear at all. I thought that I had a task of 'on-line' that I could assign to the readers so maybe they appear to start to use the new storage HHD.

  With regard to the current firmware for the controller.

  • Firmware version: 6.2.0 - 0013
  • Driver version: 2.24.00.64
  • The Storport driver version: 6.0.6002.18005

  I have attached a PDF file to this post to view details on the disks. Sorry for the fine print, but it's a PDF so you should be able to zoom. Any assistance about why readers as not detected in disk management would be absolutely awesome. :)

  -Digity

  PERC does not support non RAID... you can just throw the discs and use them. You'll need to set up and initialize a new RAID array with the readers. It is not a task of "physical disk", therefore in OMSA, go to the page of the virtual disks and click the new link Wizard of VD at the top of the page to create a new VD of the BONE.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  You should be able to just replace the drive and rebuild automatically.  That said, before you do anything, make sure that your system is fully backed up.  RAID is redundancy - NOT a substitute for a backup current, functional, verified.

• How to replace a drive to an Alienware Aurora ALX with 2x1To R1 discs

  Hello.

  I have an Aurora ALX with two 2 1 TB HHD in Raid 1 and I need to replace a drive for a new.

  Could you please let me know what is the procedure? I installed Intel Raid Manager. It is supposed to automatically rebuild sets after I installed the drive and starting the PC, but I want to be sure, that it is the correct procedure to to rebiuld Raid group.

  Please let me know if you need any additional info.

  Thank you.

  Assuming that your computer is currently operating in RAID 1 with an array degraded due to a faulty disk, replace the defective drive with a good drive at least as large as the original drive system will be automatically rebuild the RAID 1.  It's the usual approach; You should not need to take special measures to rebuild the table.

• RAID controller perc 5 / i Raid 5 rebuid of security

  Hello.

  need help.

  I have the raid 5 6-disc version. 136GB x 2 drives and 4 x 2 TB. (why? don't ask some black.)

  RAID controller perc 5 / i

  so a question is: can I discs remove 2 136 GB safety (without data loss) and rebuild the raid to work only with 4 drives of 2 TB and volume take all the space?

  You cannot delete records from the table - the number of disks must remain the same (or you can add to it). You need backup/restore to make a smaller VD.

• replacing a drive failing on vsphere host

  Dear all,

  I need to clarify something here. In the environment for both blade servers configured with Raid 1, a balde running Esxi 4.0, 208167 and other is Esxi running 5.0, 914586. Recently, one of the player on each blade is projecting an orange light.

  I need to know the defective disk can be replaced online at vpshere host? Something special to be taken in charge power off.

  Kind regards

  It depends on whether the drives are hot pluggable. Where they are - which should be the case for the company's servers - it is actually better to replace the drives online. In this way the controller knows which disk has been replaced and that one is healthy, that must be synchronized to the new. Check again with the documentation of the service provider to a controller. Another tip, if you replace a disk online, make sure that you wait at least a minute or two after removing the failed drive and before inserting the new disc, to allow the controller to properly recognize the replacement!

• A100 replacement hard drive

  I saw the other posts on this but no definitive answer.
  My HARD drive is dying and needs to be replaced. I see the posotion from the LHS is under the Palm drive and there seems to be one removable flap - other posts say there is only one screw to remove, but there is no visible screws under the machine.

  I've changed hard disks on other Toshibas with absolutetly no problem - someone at - it ideas?

  Hello

  Replace HARD drive on this laptop is not simply the procedure. I'm not 100% sure, but the entire Palm rest/Touchpad should be removed first. HARD drive cover is fixed with a screw, but you'll see him only if the Palm is deleted.

  When this screw is removed, hold the HARD drive tab and pull the HARD drive bracket. Next step is to detach the HARD drive from the HARD drive support.
  The device is quite new and first of all, check if the warranty is still valid.

  It is not so easy to change the HARD drive on this model.
  You have to remove many parts like keyboard, screen, cover and screw a lot.
  It's a little tricky, so you should have experience with this.

  As Akuma, go to a local ASP (authorized service provider) has said. They can help you replace the HARD drive.
