• 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.

• Replacement of 1064 LSI RAID

  Good afternoon!

  We had a brief problem with a RAID 10 that contains the ESXi installation on one of our servers C210 M2.  VMware has "lost" the volume of ESXi.  A restart of the host brought the RAID online, but management had me buy a spare mezzanine on the tray card.  We tested it during an upgrade to ESXi and the card did not react as expected.  We relied on this document to help us replace the RAID.

  When we put the map on the server, we expect the card to show and to ask questions about a foreign configuration.  The documentation says that when we saw that to apply the card to import the configuration and to present the RAID set to the operating system.  Card claimed instead it is 'inactive' and verify the configuration by pressing Control-C.  We did it, but since we were on a schedule to upgrade reinsert us the old card RAID, hit the string initialization and then with the upgrade.

  The map has been identified by the server and had an update of the firmware to the revision of the 1.4(3x), so I don't think that the card is DOA - I think missing a step or to look for a different document for this card.

  My question is about the answer when this card is replaced.  That we will be able to replace the mezzanine card and restore the RAID configuration or do we need to plan to rebuild the RAID config in case of failure of the card?  If we replace and restore what step is missing to import safe RAID configuration so that the mirror breaking and BONE don't freak?

  Thanks for all the research!

  Hey Gregg,.

  I checked for some cases of TAC with the same error that your report server, and for all cases, replace the controller raid solved the problem.   I recommend you to prosecute with TAC to review the papers or see if you can get the card replaced.

• RAID / storage rebuild... asking to clarify for all ;)

  Hi all

  I replaced the 2 Seagate drives out of my publishing video system (CS5) that has been previously configured as below and think it's the right time for clarification on some points that I never really solved after many hours of research, in order to understand where the various elements must be stored or installed on a system of six-HDD , or if someone in my situation should completely rethink the configuration of the system.

  It is in the following configuration not original intent, but because of the addition of hard drives over time...

  Intel RST/matrix RAID via ASUS P6T Deluxe V2...

  2 x 1 TB Seagate hard drives w / 3 Partitions

  C: OS & core programs in Raid1 Partition of 100 GB Matrix,

  D: registered Adobe project files, etc. in 250GB RAID0 Parition

  E: rendered output, etc. in the remaining Partition of RAID0 GBs

  2 x 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3

  F: scratch your files over 2 GB RAID0

  2 x 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3

  Original video G: / storage on 2GB RAID0

  System hardware:

  ASUS P6T Deluxe V2

  I7 980

  2 x 1 TB Seagate 7200 RPM hard drives (move on)

  4 x 1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200 RPM hard drives

  1 x Asus GTX570 Direct CU II (Exchange 2 locations, such as the 3-slot card don't snap sure due to sata port locations, etc.)

  1 x GTX275 for video output extra (not really tried again 3 monitors)

  24GB Corsair Vengeance RAM

  power 900W

  Cooler Master HAF case

  Various external HDD for periodic backup via eSATA

  Vista, order Windows 7 Pro

  (1) assuming that the material remains 6 x 7200 RPM hard disks on a P6T Deluxe V2 (kind of want to stay on that, since just got an expensive processor lga1366), which has only 6 available SATA ports...

  (a) I'm even true that the best mounting configuration for six hard drives 3 x RAID0 arrays?

  b) if so, how can I distribute the following items in the 3 tables - operating system, programs, Adobe, Scratch projects, outputs, original media? I could never understand forums whose elements are the most important separate from each other on different disks.

  (2) or should I really change the system to allow more than 6 hard drives at this point?

  (a) now really unclear question... If I need to change, if it was an internal RAID controller card with more ports, or must it be an external configuration?

  If I really need extended equipment, I'm ok with things like the purchase of hard "faster" drives (10 k or other) to replace the Seagates 2 if it is a strong recommendation, spend a little on the best RAID gear if it is actually useful, but...

  1. impossible to pass a thousand for the improve only slightly

  2 need a configuration that someone of experience and moderate computer skills can install and maintain.

  In particular, the question of how to divide the different items / tasks on existing disks is likely to be of interest to many readers.  It is talked about a lot, but I'm really not clear on how best to distribute them and in what priority if you do not have tables for each task.

  Thanks to anyone interested!

  P.S. NOTICE to other fans w / my RAID setup... tries to install a great graphics card and somehow reset the BIOS in the process are what stimulated my current possible re - build.  I didn't know it has reset, start continues to find Intel RST does not, renowned readers and of course RAID0s inaccessible.  Then will come to also install RAID in invalid BIOS at the time that.  Since I'm important stuff backed up and I wanted to change on some readers anyway, don't bother to try to restore the RAID and get it back, but you could find yourself in the worst form.  Supposed to BE if you change the RAID setting before starting the operating system, your tables and Intel RST will work normally even after resetting the bios.

  Do not partition disks.

  C: 1 x 1 TB for OS & programs

  D: 2 x 1 TB raid0 for projects & media

  E: 2 x 1 TB raid0 to the pagefile, hides media and previews

  F: 1 x 1 TB for exports.

• Loop of Windows 7

  I have a Windows 7 reboot loop, which means that Windows is not able to start completely and will reboot before you reach the journal to step (so it goes no further than the phase 'Preparation of Windows'). During the startup, it says "cannot start Windows. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. "and then asks if I want to start Startup Repair tool or simply start normally. If I chose a normal startup, I have an incomplete boot. If I chose the Startup Repair, it runs properly but he finds no problem automatically (I'm also unable to use my mouse and my keyboard during this time).

  I have an idea of what is the change in hardware or software that might have caused this: the operating system is trying to restore the RAID on my drives (I use 2 SSD in mirror, windows being on it and 2 HDD in mirror for most of the data) and then crashed before you finish filling.

  I looked into a solution for the solutions of windows 7 reboot loop, but so far none have worked. I tried:
  -to launch the using F8 startup repair. Unlike launched after they invite me on a normal startup, I'm able to use my keyboard and mouse here. However, the repair of the system said that it does not find any problem.

  -to start safe mode. I encounter the same problem of restart

  -to enable boot logging, and then access the log by using the F8 mode startup repair command prompt. The newspaper is not updated after boot fails, then it will probably restart before reaching the point where the file is written.

  -to launch repair system from disc to install windows 7. However, he does not see any OS to fix (and I don't have access to the disk of the driver for the next few days). I tried to continue without selecting any OS, and repair seems to indicate it does something, but I still feel the same problem as before, when you try to start later.

  -Copy the contents of the RegBack Windows\system32\config folder as suggested in the http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/139576-startup-repair-infinite-loop-recovery.html (after making a backup with the previous files folder). I noticed that I didn't have the same size of byte as those shown on the website I linked, but they were not empty (they were larger in fact).

  I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and I have not had any problems with him these past years. Any idea what I could try to fix this?

  Thanks in advance.

• Lack of battery

  Server PowerEdge t110 ii. I got the server without the battery, yesterday the electricity stopped along time and the system could not open or boot previous installed Ubuntu (with raid 5). I want to know if there is a relationship between the missing battery and the fall of the system. If there is no relation to could you please tell me other things that can cause the fall of the system? (NOTE: we use UPS last 30 minutes)

  I also want to know a solution to restore the RAID configuration by default because when I tried to re - install Ubuntu installation could not see the other 3 hard disks and show only one!

  Thanks in advance

  Well, Yes, you can reactivate the S100, but just know that the S100 is a WINDOWS ONLY controller.  Startup parameters of configuration of the BIOS (F2), SATA, SATA Embedded RAID value.

  You can expect get a battery... they cost like $3.  Normally, the absence of a battery will not cause the system down, but if ever the unplugged obtained server or a loss of power, then all the BIOS settings would be reset to the default value.  So if you had Embedded SATA, ATA, the value for example, and you have lost power, the system would be returned to AHCI... WHICH could cause the OS to not start because of parameters associated with the drivers.

  If you do not believe that this caused to your system down, so you will need to provide more details, that I can't answer with what little information was provided.

  When you say that the system has failed, what do you mean?  Are you talking about hardware failure or breakdown software/operating system?  The server itself will stop answer/startup/etc, or even the OS shutdown startup, giving errors, etc.

• Backup Restore Time Machine does not see RAID external drive

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my iMac restore from a Time Machine backup, and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem already.

  I had to reinstall OS X El Capitan from scratch, based on education, I received Support from Apple. That worked without problems and my iMac works fine. However, I wanted to restore it to how it was before, using Time Machine. I keep my backups on a LaCie 5big Thunderbolt 2 and never had any problems with it.

  To restore the system, I followed the instructions on the Support page. I restarted my system in recovery mode and selected the "restore from Time Machine backup". Unfortunately the LaCie 5big does not appear on the list of drives, so I'm stuck... When you use the system in normal mode, the external RAID is visible and Time Machine stores backups on it without any problem.

  Any of you are familiar with this problem? I would be very grateful if you could help me with this problem!

  Kind regards

  Valerio

  Hello

  -While the system is booted in recovery mode, confirm that the Lacie 5big network is visible in disk utility.   You will need to disconnect / reconnect the Thunderbolt cable to the Lacie 5big be detected.

  -Once seen, a new attempt to restore from Time Machine backup.

  See you soon

• How to restore from a backup after creating a new Raid 0?

  OK so I have time machines of my old hard drive, installed my new and raid 0' ed them. Now I Steelworkers my bootable thumbdtive (who was be Yosemite) to start my el capitan backup and it crashes at the end. After the restoration, the computer stops and recharge, but then crashes to the screen with the apple logo. Someone knows the right way that I should be restore? I tried just do a plain redownliad of my bootable disk but it says it did not work and may have been corrupted. I tried deleti g and recreate my raid 0, the same message... Looks like that because raid 0 for Mac will not create a recovery partition, I do a recovery Internet now just to recharge the mac from scratch... Any ideas on how I should address?

  Hi Isakale,

  I understand that you're having trouble for OS X installed and restored from your Time Machine backup. In a situation where you work with a configuration of non standard volume for your OS X installation, you can consider installing OS X of the recovery of the Internet, the upgrade to the desired version of Mac OS X via the App Store, then your Time Machine data migration using the Migration Wizard, rather than recovery.

  Migration Wizard copies all your files to your new Mac so that you do not have to the do it manually. If your files are currently on a Windows PC, follow the steps in the migration of the PC instead. If your new Mac uses OS X Mountain Lion or earlier, follow the steps of Mountain Lion instead.

  Move your content to a new Mac
  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350

  Recent Macs include the ability to run directly from a Web OS X Recovery version. Your Mac will automatically use this feature when the recovery on the startup disk system is not available. For example, if your boot drive is a problem, or if your boot drive has been replaced or deleted. Recovery of the Internet allows you to start your Mac directly from Apple servers. This system starts running a quick test of your memory and the hard disk to check for hardware problems.

  Recovery of the Internet initially asking you to select a Wi - Fi network and enter a password for the network if necessary. Then Internet recovery downloads and starts from a system recovery image. From there on, offers the same options and utilities like system recovery on a startup disk.

  Some Mac shipped with OS X Snow Leopard can use Internet after installation of OS X Lion or later and a software update.

• Need help with the disks 'unreadable' configuring software raid after the death of the startup disk and system restored.

  I'm looking for some advice on how to restore a windows xp installation software raid 5 that was running on my XP system. I had a problem when the startup disk has failed, but I was able to backup the system before it can. I replaced the drive and restored the system and everything came, but I was not smart to do this and accidently left the readers connected when restoring raid. I don't know if windows has done something when I tried to install XP on the new drive, or maybe something else has happened when I restored the system from the backup, but my raid drives can not be used. There was a moment in the restaurant business I saw a message on the MBR, but I thought that was just for the drive being restored. I didn't have a single player who held any information on the other disks in the system, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

  When the system boots the windows logo screen takes 10-20 minutes before you get on the desktop. Windows Disk Manager takes 20-30 minutes to fill the list of drives and status on the disks three raid is 'dynamic' and 'unreadable' is not reassuring. I suspect it's a problem MBR or partition table that must be corrected before trying to reactive the raid, but this is just speculation.

  The raid drives are on a promise ide/scsi disk and make it appear to start correctly with names and sizes. After that I get nothing. I do not have another scsi controller (or), but I thought I'd try active @ partition recovery to see if she can find information on the disks.

  I hope someone has some experience with recovery like this, because this is a first for me. I thought I was pretty sure running a raid-5, but wouldn't you know, the tech gods have found a way to crush my plans...

  Thanks in advance for any help!

• Factory restore / Boot Order RAID 0 array?

  I have a 'mobile 'current enforcement office (laptop) XP Pro SP2 with dual hard drives in a RAID 0 array.  For various reasons, I want to put the machine in its factory out-of-the-box condition using discs of recovery/restoration of the manufacturer (essentially the application of Norton Ghost). I did my due diligence regarding the restoration of the machine and 'reconstruction' from there, but the machine does not start on boot from the restore disc CD.  I do not venture into the BIOS often... the existing boot priority order is as follows:

  1. USB FDC:

  2 PCISCSI: FTTX Ary1

  3 IDEO_M: QSI CD-RW/DVD-ROM

  4 IDEO_S: _NEC DVD + /-RW

  5. PCI LAN:

  6.

  7 etc.

  I don't have a built-in floppy drive. I want the machine to start from #3 (my first optical drive).  In the order of precedence of the BIOS Boot, I simply move #3 to the #1 or #2 position?  Will be other items then simply drop into their existing order?

  I do not know how does RAID 0 of the table is on the boot order selection, but I don't want to spoil anything.  I appreciate your help and your expertise.

  Hi Aravaipa,

  · On what CD drive you insert the disc?

  · The operating system was preinstalled on the computer?

  · If so, what the number and model of the computer?

  · If it was custom build provide the serial number and model of the motherboard?

  · Have you have saved data on the computer?

  I suggest you to back up data before performing the procedure below:

  1. If the computer is preinstalled on RAID 0 configuration then you might need to break the Raid by changing the variable speed drive (ATA controller) to Normal or IDE

  2. as you have two CD/make ROM DVD readers like the first and the second in the boot sequence and make the method of trial and error to see what DVD Rom detects the recovery disk

  Note: Change to the BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk. You can contact the manufacturer of the computer for better assistance.

• Restore virtual machines after building the new RAID array

  Hi all

  I am new to the virtual machines, so I'm sorry for the newbie question. Currently, I have a HP ML350 G6 ESXi 5.0.0 running on 4 GB Flash hosting SD cards two virtual machines and licenses for 5 Essentials vSphere and vCenter Server 5 Essentials. I also have a RAID5 configuration with drives SAS 146 GB (6). I intend to remove all six readers and their replacement by 300 GB disks and build a RAID6 array. My question is, what would be the best practice to move the two VMS in the current RAID array to the new RAID array? Wouldn't be also simple to make backups of virtual machines or clones, exchanging the readers, the new array of construction and restoring virtual machines? If someone could point me in the right direction would be great!

  Thank you all!

  Personally, I would go with backup & restore. In addition, use the downtime to upgrade the firmware of the host (HP published recently a few critical fixes on the RAID controller and some models of HARD drive).

  What I would do - to avoid any problem - is to remove the host ESXi, vCenter, replace disks, update the firmware, re - install ESXi and as final step add the host to vCenter again.

• Restoration of matrix RAID 0 in XPS 720

  XPS 720
  SATA RAID 0 with two drives of 250 GB
  Vista Home Premium

  The machine does not start. I have a Dell short start screen, then a black screen with "Missing Operating System" in the upper left.

  I ran diagnostic HARD drive under boot options F12 and the two discs. I started on the Dell operating system DVD and tried a repair of the BONE, which failed (details mentioned corruption of the partition table). I'm not sure how to fix a corrupt partition table. I opened a command prompt and use the bootrec.exe to repair the MBR (/FixMbr), who succeeded, but the machine would not boot. Bootrec.exe tried to repair the boot sector (/FixBoot), which failed. I tried to reinstall the operating system, but could not access the drive C:\ (no recognizable files on this drive system).

  I am inclined to C:\ reformatting and reinstallation of Vista, but I have no experience working with RAID arrays and not sure how to proceed from here. I don't want to break the table. If I reformat C:\ and use the OS from Dell DVD to restore the system to "factory condition", that will be the original of the RAID 0 configuration restoration or will I need to do it "manually" after reformatting? If the latter, it can be done easily by entering the configuration and activation RAID 0 on two drives before reinstalling the operating system? If so, then using the operating system DVD Dell to restore the system to "factory condition" will be used to partition the table as it was shipped? I don't know that it is very obvious that I am well over my head here and quite clueless. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

  
  

• Time Machine NAS RAID

  Goal: large, reliable Time Machine back-up.

  (No purpose: archiving.) I do that separately on optical carriers per year, double copies, which goes off site. I understand that optical media can degenerate over time - even if some are marketed as "of archive-quality" - and therefore based on a cloud of archiving is the way to go but for now he takes too much bandwidth and I'm worried about security. I recently got a burner external blu - ray: exceptional.)

  Question: can I use RAID for Time Machine if I connect by USB directly on my computer?

  Issue 1: reliability external drive. This has happened twice that I bought a property, brand, large external hard drive and was prematurely fail at a difficult time. My local computer guru said "it happens" and is "unpredictable" and just buy a new one, most won't. Or, for better quality, get a NAS - network attached storage that can be attached, they have the temperature control, mine is a RAID 2 discs, so there is that the degree of redundancy - but not, I learn, protect against a corrupt Time Machine backup and that can happen, or power increases (although it is on a high-tech power bar) , or theft, etc.

  Problem 2: using NAS, which I connected to a Terminal Airport Express via an Ethernet cable - if connected to the computer by WiFi - the Time Machine backup becomes a "sparsebundle" (set of files, in fact), encrypted file with password (?) drive access. However, this was work and I did a full restore of your data (no 'system') the other day with Migration Wizard when I got a new hard drive installed in my old iMac (also upgraded at the time of 10.9 to 10.11). It took over all night, but the wonder of wonders, it chugged along and finished and seems fine. (I have not checked tens of thousands of files individually!)

  (My SIN explicitly supports Time Machine, and I checked that box in the configuration of the SIN, and it seemed to work.) I didn't have to leave the mounted drive. Time Machine found hourly and used invisibly in the background.)

  Problem 3: I have rename my hard drives for some reason any and do not remember quite what its name was. I wonder if this is part of my problem (read more). But there is a method in Time Machine to 'Browse other discs of backup. " I was looking for a file that I kept outside my usual login "user" and so had not been returned when I used Migration Assistant for data recovery only.

  However, when I do this, then nothing is there. I've learned that sometimes, with an encrypted sparsebundle, wireless backup, you will have to let Time Machine sit for a few minutes before the back-ups start to appear, but now, with my new hard drive (with a new name) and the new version of the OS, there is simply nothing; just 'today' that shows only my current hard drive status. Obviously, there was something, or Migration Assistant wouldn't have worked, but during the inspection of the backup via Time Machine, the file seems to be here (whatever_my_computer - name_was.sparsebundle), but it is empty.

  If I just try to navigate in the Finder to the sparsebundle NAS Time Machine, I can find it but not to open it. Double click: nothing happens. It is not that I forgot to connection settings, this is what it do not ask me for them.

  This happened to me twice and the first time was the day after archiving (luck and good planning) and I thought that it is a kind suddenly lucky, but now it happened again.

  So, I tried a bit of searching and not found a clear answer to my question above. I do not see these links:

  TEM http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2013/11/24/Never-use-a-RAID-As-Your-Backup-sys.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-CA/HT201250

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/3837784?start=0 & tstart = 0

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7448896?start=0 & tstart = 0

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/5849068?TSTART=0

  Of them, it seems that a NAS that has an explicit ability to Time Machine might work (mine did), but is not fully functional, not approved by Apple and is completely unpredictable. My limits are described above. (I work around them).

  However, moving forward: I have this RAID 2 discs sitting around, seemingly more reliable than a drive external non-temperature controlled, and I wonder about the connection by USB directly on my computer. What is the downside of this? That is my question. Who will 'normally' work as a Time Machine backup external drive?

  Another option is to get two large external hard drives and the value of Time Machine to switch between the two. I have not tried, but apparently it was possible for the last iterations little Mac OS X.

  I have important data that requires careful management.

  Thank you all,

  Charles

  I use a direct attached Drobo (it is a very easy to use RAID device).

  I've always had problems with Time Machine on the network, so I stopped using it in this way. I've never had problems with the TimeMachine and direct-attached storage.

  With the Drobo if a disk goes bad, I buy a replacement and hot it swap for the failed drive.
