• Replace the two drives in a Poweredge T110 II

  Hello

  I am running Windows server 2008 r2 on a Poweredge t110 II server. We had problems with our system crashing a lot lately and it seems to be a problem of hard drive so I replace the two players in our system.

  I watched a previous thread on this-

  http://en.community.Dell.com/support-forums/servers/f/1466/p/19529142/20465311#20465311

  but the Administration of server to manage open, nothing is displayed on the storage tab.

  Can someone help me with this problem?

  You do not use a RAID controller. The disks are connected to the SATA controller on the system board. I see nothing to suggest that these disks are in a RAID array. It seems that these disks are connected like a normal desktop system. If you want to replace the readers simply shut you the system down and physically swap disks on.

• replacing a drive RAID 1 failure in PowerEdge T710

  I just got the disk(146GB) of replacement for one of the disks RAID 1 has failed. I would like to know what the best approach is to replace the defective with the new one (same size), now that the spare drive (300 GB) is used by the raid. I want to get the bigger drive and re - assign as a global hot spare, by the original configuration is possible without disconnecting the server?

  Here is my config:

  T710 Server (8 discs - 4 X 146 GB, 4 x 300 GB)

  PERC H700 integrated

  2x146GB drives - RAID 1

  2x146GB drives - RAID 1

  3x300GB drive - RAID 5

  1 x 300 GB disk - hot spare

  Thank you.

  This should work for you. What it will do is essentially the same process I described. When you insert the replacement drive and implement the Member to replace it will fail then the immediate replacement and then start reconstruction on replacement.

• Disc question PowerEdge T300 Perc 6 / I Raid 5

  I have a PowerEdge T300 with Perc 6 / I and Raid 5 with 3 hot swap 15 k 146 GB disks and 1 hot spare in the fourth slot from the backplane. Drive HARD 0 is orange flashing while HDD1 thru HDD3 are green. I have a new hard drive to install. I have to restart under the Perc 6 / I installation, disable HDD0, then turn the power off and replace it and walk back in Perc 6 / I and add the new disk and restart. Drive HARD 0 rebuild in the table or what I need to assign the new drive as the new hot spare? Are there instructions on how to replace a drive like that?

  Thank you

  Mark

  Once in the controller and you can just physically pull the failed drive. After removing, then wait a moment and insert the new drive. If the virtual disk has been degraded, then it should start to rebuild on its own once the replacement is inserted. If the virtual disk has been Optimal, then physically pull the drive and insert the replacement. Then in the BIOS OF THE controller, you can configure the replacement as a hot spare.

• Change a failing drive - RAID Dell Poweredge H310 - RAID 1

  Hi guys,.

  Thank you for everything that support you in these forums. I'm new here.

  We have a Dell PowerEdge T320 server on my new place of work. It is Dell Poweredge H310 RAID controller on it. It is configured in RAID-1, with 2 discs.

  Now my question is: in the event that one of the drives breaks down:

  1 - I should insert the new drive into the slot where the failed disk has been inserted, or in the following location?

  2 - will be the new drive automatically "copied" with the healthy disk data or it will need some work?

  I read the manual and chapter 'Replacement year Online physical disk', says the following, but I don't know the answer to these questions:

  1. in the management of virtual disks window, select Virtual Disk # and press the arrow key down until the physical disks is highlighted.

  2. press arrow right key to expand the list of physical disks that are members of the virtual disk.

  3. press the down arrow and select the desired physical disk that you want to replace. Press to view the list of operations permitted on the disc.

  4. Select Replace and then start.

  5. tap on the down arrow to select a replacement disk and then press the SPACEBAR to select the disk.

  6. click OK to start the replacement.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Kind regards.

  Videoclocknet,

  You must remove the failed disk and replace it with another similar drive on the same niche. When you choose the following location, be sure to follow the steps in the virtual disk management screen (VD) as you have indicated.

  The failed drive will be replaced and the replacement drive will be one on the following location. Either way is perfectly fine. You can then monitor status of the VD and the reconstruction process using OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA).

  2 disks configured in RAID 1 act as a reflection of the other. Failure of 1 drive ensures that the same data are available on the other. When you replace the failed disk, the rebuilding process begins, and the same data gets automatically copied.

  Please let me know if you have any other questions.

• Replacing the T410 Raid 5 SAS HD showing "predictive failure notification.

  I have a server poweredge T410 which has 2 virtual drives, a Raid 1 mirrored VD and a Raid 5 VD (consists of 4 hard disks from 146 GB SAS).  There is no replaceable parts hot.  The physical disk 1:0:5 began to show "next failure (2094 reporting error) in OMSA so I know I need to replace this drive."  Readers that seem to be replaceable hot, but I want to make sure I follow the proper procedure by replacing the drive, that I've never done this before.  Can someone please confirm that the following steps are correct?

  In OMSA, I'm going to ' storage '-' virtual disks' -' physical disks ", and on disk 5 (the one with the predicted failure) select"offline"under 'Tasks', and then run hit.  Then, I open the collar and wait for hard drives lights to stop flashing.  Remove the disc 1:0:5 and put in the replacement drive.  Then, in OMSA go to "Storage"-"Virtual disks" and select "Assign/Unassign dedicated Hot Spare" in the menu tasks to the bottom and click on 'run '.  What I read, the reader should automatically start rebuilding at that time and that should be all that it is him, correct?  If I missed anything or whatever it is listed wrong, someone please let me know.  I read in other posts of people getting BSODS and crash there servers because they have missed something and I really want to avoid that.

  Also, this swap can and must occur while the server is online, correct?

  What controller RAID do you have?  A BSOD is NOT normal and indicates another problem.

  If the drive does not start rebuilding automatically, you need to affect whether a relief to start reconstruction.  If the disk is initially as 'strangers', it first must be CLEARED before that you can assign as a hot spare.

• Dell PowerEdge 2900 RAID and drive down

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 server. The primary transmission table has three drives and RAID 5. The system came this way, and it has been humming for quite a long time. Recently, one of the disks has deteriorated and the light on the drive flashes green and light amber. The light amber, I figured, it means that there is a problem with the drive and must be replaced. Then, I found a replacement on Amazon.com drive and installed (the drive is hot, but my cold started to be sure). I installed the drive, but keeps flashing green and amber light.

  I didn't know that I shouldn't have to replace the drive in this way, so I will now try to figure out what to do next. I hoped to reallocate the foreign disk so that I can use it, but my server always shows the reader, not having even if the new replacement drive is in the slot, now.

  I'm running PERC 5 / I integrated utility of Configuration Bios 1.04 - 019 a

  I started the server and you press CTRL-R. I've highlighted the controller and press the F2 key, what is operations. When the operations window opens, there are three menu items:

  Create new VD
  Zero Config reset
  Foreign config

  The only thing that I am allowed to do in this menu is to reset the configuration. I can't move my cursor upwards or downwards for one of the other choice of two menu.

  Scroll when the virtual disk and he discovers, it still shows the first two discs and a lack.

  When I press CTRL + N to display the next screen, I see a player listed as failed.

  How can I rebuild my RAID with this new drive? If I can't do it, what is the best way to remove the RAID and start over? If I delete the RAID and do it again (and if my replacement drive is indeed well), how can I make sure that my server not to see it, not having so that I can start using it?

  Alternating flashing green/orange means that the disc is in a status of predictive failure. What OS is running system? If you hotswap drive next failure they may possibly other issues table because the drive was online and participating in the table with errors on the disk. The adequate alternative method is to use our software Openmanage Server Administrator to run a consistency check on the table and then the drive offline. Once this has been done you can then swap the drive. It seems that in your case, that the new drive had bad data copied on it and it made a predictive failure as well. We want to do is run our hard drive diagnostics and test drives in the system.

• Cannot complete the recovery process after replacing HARD drive

  Hello

  I changed my hard drive it for 15 days because he showed abnormalities, so I bought a new hard drive Seagate Western brand with the same technical characteristics as the existing hard drive (product for the product).

  I was then on TOSHIBA HDD RECOVERY to burn to CD system recovery disks, then I went to replace the hard drive.

  After the change, I raised my PC with system restore CD.
  The procedure is successfully completed and orders of comments asking me to remove the disk and restart the PC.

  I raise the PC, everything goes well, launch windows, installation of perfect records system then comes the stage of installation and settings of the system here after the error message:

  "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on the hardware in the computer."

  Then it asks me to restart, then it comes back every time on this message, I'm stuck on this step.
  I tried to change the mode of the disc source hard 'compatibility' instead of 'AHCI' but it's even worse, it completely without error buggy.

  Please give me an explanation of this phenomenon.

  Sincerely.

  Guillaume

  Have you tried to repeat the whole recovery procedure?
  If this is not the case, do.

  I recommend to format the whole HARD drive and create an NTFS partition.
  Then start the laptop using the Toshiba Recovery disk and start the recovery procedure.

  I read about the problem of disk HARD similar in the past and especially NFS partition creation has helped to solve these problems.

• Replacing the hard drive HP G62-450SA model / recovery. Windows 7

  Hello

  Last week my laptop started running very slowly, and after a few tests, it seems that the hard drive is on its way.

  I phoned to HP supports, however is out of warranty I wasn't able to get a real support, but advised him to watch the online support pages to back up my files, create a file recovery on a usb device and then it would be as simple as taking on the old hard drive, put in the new, and following the instructions to recover my system and files.

  So after these tips, I've created:

  -A recovery image USB on a Virgin USB key, using the Recovery Manager

  -A backup on an external hard drive using the backup and restore

  -An image of the system by using the backup and restore.

  Then I replaced the hard drive.

  When I turned on the laptop all I get is a black screen that says "no boot device - insert the diskette and press any key".

  I have not all discs. I thought that was the point of creating the recovery image on the USB key? I insert the USB key, and it is not recognized.

  If at this point, I'm stuck. I'm not all boards because HP say they have to charge me.

  Please can anyone here tell me what to do next? What I need to buy recovery discs or is there a way I can install the new hard drive by using the above files?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You are welcome

  Another option, you can try would be to restore the system image you created - you can do the following.

  If you do not, use another PC to create a rescue CD Windows 7.  Download the ISO relevant among the links below.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  Windows 7 64 bit

  You must use an app like ImgBurn ( Note: you can deselect additional software during installation of ImgBurn options) to burn the ISO to a CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

  When creating, type following the ESC key as soon as you start the launch of the laptop Boot Menu, and then insert the rescue CD.  Select boot options (usually f9 ), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press ENTER.  You can also get a prompt to "Press any key to" continuous - it if requested.

  Connect the drive that contains the system image you have created and then follow method 3 below to reload the image on the new HARD drive.

• HP ENVY 17-j101ex - replace the SSD HARD drive

  Hello

  I have HP ENVY 17-j101ex, with the standard configuration: 2 x 1 TB drive HARD 5400 RPM SATA. I want to buy 1 SSD drive and replace the first (boot) hard disk drive. I don't know if it works or not.

  I want to buy a SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB SATA III (MZ-7TE250BW), 2.5 ", dimensions: 100 x 69 x 7 mm

  I have to: 1 x 1 TB HARD drive (as a secondary drive) + 1 x 250 GB SSD SATA3 (as your startup with system disk)

  Is this ok?

  I found some info, that:

  Supports a 6.35 cm (2.5 in) 300 GB or 160 GB SSD (SSD) drive in 7, 0 - mm (. 28 - in.) thick

  Supports 6.35 cm (2.5 in) hard disks to 12.7 mm (. 50-in) and a height of 9.5 mm (. 37 - in)

  Is it not this Samsung SSD too big?

  I also found information on envy 17 series, which:

  Supports the following single hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations:
  ● 1-TB, 5400-rpm, 12.7-mm hard drive × 1 + 300-GB solid-state drive
  

  and also:

  NOTE: Supports RAID-0 as default for all dual hard drive/solid-state drive combination configurations.
  

  So, first of all should I disable RAID-0?

  Thank you for your help and sorry for my English

  In fact, I have the same model laptop PC series. You will have no problem replacing the mechanical main hard drive with an SSD. The Evo to Samsung 250 Gig is a very good choice. I suggest you get cloning software, put the SSD in the second slot, start from cloning software and copy (clone) the startup disk for the SSD. You'll slim down the contenst of the diskette of starting less than 250 concerts to achieve, but you can store files off to the second disk of 1 TB in the process. There are other ways to do this post if you have any questions.

  Here is a video showing how to install the hard drive.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=wx3dMGXrGCc

  RAID-0 is supported, but you wouldn't want as a second hard drive with an SSD. If your readers are appearing as volumes of letters separated in 'the PC' or 'Computer' then RAID-0 does not exist and you shouldn't have to do any disorder in the BIOS.

• 1260sf 6: 6 - 1260SF envy want: replacing the HARD drive

  Hi all

  I had all sorts of problems recently with my laptop so I ran a chdsk and it seems that my HARD drive is damaged and needs to be changed as soon as possible.

  I am running Windows 7 64 bit on a desire 6-1260SF - Ultrabook 15.6 "- Intel Core i5-3337U (1.8 GHz) - disk HARD 500 GB + SSD 32 GB - RAM 8 GB - Intel HD graphics card

  Apart from the fact that I am very disappointed in the sustainability of the equipment (the laptop was purchased only 18 months ago and I still use a laptop cooler), I was wondering what mistakes I need to avoid buying a replacement HARD drive.

  I did not open the laptop yet, but the faulty HARD drive is a Hitachi 500 GB 2.5 "SATA Hard Drive HTS545050. That being said, here are my concerns.

  (1) what should I look at when I get a replacement to ensure that there will be no compatibility issues?

  (2) can you name a few good quality of the HARD drive, I could go to replace (brand, size...)?

  (3) at this stage, an SSD instead of HARD drive editing would be a good idea (to condition already, I upgraded my RAM from 4 to 8 GB)?

  I want minimum hassle and without unpleasant surprises when I buy the replacement

  I get a compatible drive and plug it in, I'll be able to use it to off the bat and boot with USB to install Windows or are there (unfortunately) some steps involved in the preparation of the new drive?

  Thanks for your help.

  What has happened is that the acceleration function has stopped working and you see how slow a drive 5400 RPM is alone. But it is still the startup for Windows, right? Have you installed the Intel Rapid Storage program from the driver download page?

  

  You will get something like the above and you must make sure that the new hard drive is "accelerated" by the reader of the WSSD.

  This is done with the buttons 'Manage' and 'speed '. It is done in Windows and you can not set up through the RAID BIOS screen.

• Cannot install XP Pro on the replacement hard drive.

  I had to replace the hard drive in my desktop pc and now when trying to install XP Pro on the new drive, Windows Installer States he is not hard drives are.

  I suspect it's maybe because I couldn't install the HDD no operating system drivers.  The hdrive installation instructions say to boot from the Windows installation CD.  Then, when you are prompted for the SCSI or RAID driver to press F6 (which I did) then press S to specify additional devices (which I did).  At that time there installing Windows asks me to insert the "floppy" third-party driver in drive A:.  I have no floppy or the car drive.  I tried to load the CD of drivers in two of my two cd/dvd drives, but it has never recognized the cd.

  I contacted Seagate hdrive manufacturer and they said that my motherboard drivers need be updated so that windows would allow the hard disk drivers be installed from Cd.

  They said either communicate with the provider of the motherboard and ask drivers to a floppy, then buy and install a floppy drive on my pc all them in order to get Windows Installer on this new hard drive.  Another option was to buy a new operating system!

  Hoping someone here knows a reasonable solution to this.  My Win XP Pro version is 2002.  I create a copy of it and integrated SP3 with it and tried to start one, but still, it does not recognize the hard drive.  The hard disk appears in the BIOS.

  Thank you!

• What replacement hard drives can be used by the HPE - 480 t?

  I have a HPE - 480 t who had 2 Seagate 750 GB hard drives (7200.12) in a Raid 0 configuration.  A hard drive has stopped working.  I need to replace the two hard drives.  I'd rather have enough space to put 1.3 TB of data on one disc so I could put the new disks in RAID 1 (mirror).

  I ordered and installed two Segate 2 TB disks (7200.14).  When I use Symaantec System Recovery to recover a point of well known recovery (*.v2i) OR when I do a hand of WIndows 7 install, I get the material errors.  After restarting the machine after doing a system recovery, Windows starts in safe mode hangs at classpnp.sys.  A hand of Windows 7 installation error "Windows cannot be installed on this material.

  Please let me know what I can use to get this machine running hard drives!  I'm desperate!

  Thank you!

  A usb key with a lot more capacity can not be recognized as an option to boot your PC.

  Consider using a smaller in the range of 4 to 8 GB to create a Windows Installer with the download USB\DVD tool.

  Unfortunately, your PC is one of few wthat is a simulator of BIOS, I can't access.

• You can mix SAS and SATA drives in a RAID 1 PowerEdge T110 II configuration

  Hello

  I have a RAID 1 configuration and one of the two drives in the array has failed.  I've removed and replaced by another drive hoping the Dell Perc adapter H200 would rebuild the mirror automatically, but it does not.  In Server Admin OpenManage virtual disk displays as degraded.  The issue I think may be the replacement drive is SATA where the original was SAS.

  Is there a way you can make the adapter accepts a SATA drive or is it simply not supported?

  SIV

  Hello.

  Dell controllers, including the H200 are not supported mixing SAS, SATA or SSD in the same table. They may, however, each separately constitute a virtual disk on the same controller. Consider replacing the disk failing another identical or higher capacity SAS drive.
