• Resize the VM disk and hot add drive to vCloud Director?

  Hello

  For the moment you can add hot cpu and memory added to warm to a virtual machine in vCloud Director. Two features. But from a management perspective, I'd rather have the ability to add the drives and disks of VMS in extension hot hot. Extension of discs and adding disks on the fly is a very common practice in vSphere.

  Someone at - it an entry about it? Can it be done through the API? What is on the roadmap for a future version of vCloud Director?

  Yes it is possible using the vCloud API, take a look at this blog by Jake Robinson post that shows you how to use the vCloud new cmdlets Director - http://geekafterfive.com/2012/02/24/vcloud-apigui-throwdown-part-2/

• Reference Dell MD3220 virtual disk - hot spare in use

  We have a Dell MD3220.  one of the hard drives was taken out by an end-user trying to exchange a defective disc. Then after that the good player has replaced the old drive was placed back into the appropriate slot. Now we have a hot spare (enclosure 0, slot 23) in lieu of an another hot spare (attachment 2, slot 22). The hot spare that is subbed for has been replaced by two new hard drives now and the hot spare in use has still not disappeared. any suggestions on what to do next?

  Virtual disk - hot spare in use

    Replaced with a physical disk to: enclosure 0, slot 23
    Virtual disks: 3
       RAID level: 5

  Hello, GalaxyTechService.

  It is perhaps not as complicated as it may seem, in fact. There is a wizard that you can use to return the disk to the raid set. Right-click the affected virtual disk and select 'Replace physical disk' and use the wizard that opens.

  In the upper area will be "missing disks", and in the lower field will be options available to replace them.

  Then just follow the steps.

  Let me know how it goes.

• Has no disk in MD3000i - no not the kick in hot spare

  Hello

  I'm having a lot of problems with this table.

  First a defective disc.  The hot spare does not activate.  Or maybe that was the case, but it did not work because I got an error message "physical disk failure - failure of reconstruction.

  Then another disc has no so the vdisk went offline.

  We had a spare provided and it was put in the table.  But when I go on change-> replace the physical disks in Storage Manager it tells me that "there no physical disk defective or missing in this storage array that can be replaced by using the function to replace physical disks."

  How can I go about getting the vdisk upward and execution?

  Thank you

  Steve

  If after looking at the beam of support I see where you have the 2 has no drives hard and saw where reconstruction has failed. I see that FW is a bit outdated, but this is not to say exactly why reconstruction failed. I guess you don't have access to the data on the VD. The disc in the slot 0.1 seems to be the last disk that failed. An option that we would try to force online and get the table in a degraded state, so that we can have a backup if you have not already. However, if you do not have a backup your best bet would be to get the 2 new drives and re - create the RAID array and restore your data.

  To force the disk online, you will need to enter the SMCli and use the command:

  SMcli - n {name} - c "revive physicalDisk [0,1];

  If this does not work and that you are not able to get a backup copy, then I recommend you get in on a company like lead investors to 1-800-440-1904. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

• RAID 5 Config of hot spare

  Hello

  I have setup a R510 with raid 5 with 2 drives hot spares. Let's say a player fail and the HS kick, then I replaced the bad HD. What happens to the reader that is initially configured as a hot spare? It resets as a hot spare, or do I need to reconfigure and make HS default again?

  Source language:

  0 - active

  1 - active

  2 - active

  3 assets

  4 - active

  5. HS

  6 HS

  ++++++++

  After the failure of the HD.

  0 - active

  1 - active

  2 - active

  3 assets

  4 bad

  5 assets (reconstruction)

  6 HS

  +++++

  After that HD has been replaced;

  0 - active

  1 - active

  2 - active

  3 assets

  4 - ? (does it become the active drive yet?)

  5 - ? (this becomes HS again?)

  6 HS

  Thank you

  Once relief rebuilt, he is an active member of the table. The new disks in the system will have to manually assign as the new hot spare.

• Md3220 and md1220 combo, how to configure any global hot spare parts.

  The MD3220 is full of 300 GB 15K SAS drives the MD1220 is full 1 TB NL 'SAS' 7.2 K disks. The two boxes have discs 22 & 23 unused in the goal is relief. However all the mechanisms that I use to create hot household simply attaches all four disks to two speakers. I'd rather have two spare drives only protect readers in their own enclosure. Interestingly enough, I asked the software dell 'automatic configuration' (sic) the hot spare and he decided ONLY two use 1 TB drives and use them to protect the two speakers. In addition, I was quite puzzled as to why he also allowed me to do it manually the absurd configuration to allow a 300 GB drive protect a forum composed of 24 1 TB disks. In any case, is it possible to have host associated with a case (or disk group) spare parts. ? Thank you.

  You can't dedicate a hot spare in a picture of MD3k-series. If a hot spare will succeed for any player in any long case that the size of the spare drive is the same or larger than the failed drive.

• 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!

• Change your state of global hot spare on loan

  Question 1: I have a reference dell power edge 2950 with perc 6 / i integrated. I have four 450 GB RAID 5 drives, a disk as a global hot spare, and a disk without operating with State loans. Can I change the State of this hot spare to prepare so I can add another raid 1 logic with two 450 GB drives? Should what steps I take?

  Question 2: Physical disk 0:0:1 is damaged and I need to replace it. As I said I have a disk without exploitation, disc 1:0:5. Can I remove the drive without exploitation and replace the damaged one(0:0:1); remove the disc at the same time two will damage the server?

  1. Yes. You must delete the assignment the rescue. This is done either on the display of physical disks (World Relief) or virtual disks (dedicated relief).

  2. remove both drives at the same time will not damage the server. This will damage your table if you remove two ACTIVE RAID 5 with disks, but not a relief. Remove the drive bad "to hot' (do not feed out to replace), and then insert the disc before doing nothing).

• 2950 HDD D80A Firmware Update for the dedicated hot spares

  I have a 2950 III with 8 Fujitsu 146 GB drives installed in a RAID 10 array. The first six discs are configured for use in a virtual disk with the last two records configured to be used as a dedicated hot spare. OMSA describes the version of the firmware of these two disks 0102. I ran the update of the firmware as described here:

  http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/DriverDetails/product/PowerEdge-2950?driverId=F50fd

  The six drives in the virtual disk just successfully upgraded to the version of the firmware D80A. Two rescue disks have not been tempted. I tried to run the Setup again and Setup note that installed and packaged versions are both D80A, but OMSA said that two rescue disks are always at 0102.

  This is expected behavior? Spare disks are treated differently? If so, the firmware update as they are now or have I trade in the virtual disk to do the upgrade?

  The link does not work for me earlier... it's working now.  There is also a utility 'nautilus' which can be used on Dell readers... it will update all readers of Dell, regardless of the make and model... preventing you from having to download a dozen different services.

  Yes, that is why the update is a failure: Dell firmware cannot be updated with the firmware of the sale to the retail/credits, and retail/Generic firmware cannot be updated with the Dell firmware.

• Add the hot spare on Poweredge T430

  Hello

  I have a Poweredge T430 with a PERC H330, I add another drive to have as a spare.

  I did all the step and show car ready in the physical disk, now when I go on the virtual disk 0 and try to assign immediate replacement without hard drive shows, that I. m do were bad?

  The drive is ready and good to go, is the same model and size, etc., how can I now add to the virtual disk.

  ndaniel

  I see in the physical disk as a global hot spare drive and ready, maybe I need to remove it from the overall immediate focus on this virtual disk replacement I have?

  Hot spare is not a property of the virtual disk. Yes, you will need to cancel the assignment as a global hot spare to assign as a dedicated hot spare drive. If you only have a virtual disk, then it is not serious if it is global or dedicated.

• Pavilion dv6 - 7095ca: no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key

  
  

  Thanks for your help and please excuse my bad English.
  Please check item 7, if you're in a hurry. This is the point with my Pavilion DV6 - 7095-CA:

  (1) the operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), the provided original with my 7095CA Pavilion, more updates HP until 2013, and all Windows updates until July 2015.

  (2) now I can't access the operating system and I have no interface UEFI. I can see that I press F2 at startup, just a test simple disk in BIOS f.0Une (the test shows that the disc is OK)

  (3) return in 2013 it took a drive failure. I did replace the disk and reinstall original Win7, all updates, including the HPS, win7 updates and all my personal software.

  (4) at this time, I bought a spare hard drive and did a complete copy of the disc using Partition Wizard bootable cd. The second disc has been tested and worked perfectly, with all of my personal software on this subject.

  So I have 2 HDs identical with the same system on both drives, fully working and tested.

  (5) a few days ago I came across the HP website and made a few updates, including the BIOS f.0Une (the last BIOS update, was of course).

  (6) after BIOS update ran, I received the message "no boot device - insert boot disk and press any key".

  (7) I couldn't solve the problem, so I did remove the hard drive and install my backup drive, which lay in a dry place without danger from 2013.

  (8) I turned on the computer and got the same message "No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key", and I couldn't find any way to solve this problem.

  Now I'm doing a new installation on a third HD everything works very well, so far, in the new facility and I will never buy HP again.

  Here are the official specifications of Toshiba for your PC...

  http://support.Toshiba.com/support/staticContentDetail?ContentId=638405&isFromTOCLink=false

  All interface PATA (IDE) connectors are a standard 40 pin.

  I know that there is no restriction on the mixture of ATA drives with different speed capabilities and no restrictions on what cable you use, whether 40 wire or 80 strand (but still 40 pins).

  Faster drives will only work at the speed of the slowest car on any cable and 80 strand cables are needed to make ATA66 or higher drives run at their native speed.

  In addition, no player can work faster than the motherboard chipset permits, in your case ATA66.

  My provider of trade has still some disks 3.5 '' PATA in stock, but these are becoming harder and harder to find. Indeed, it is possible that production has ceased and that suppliers are just exhausted stocks.

  I can certainly say that, when repairs this technology were more frequent, I never had problems with discs theoretically faster on the same cable as slower drives, nor by using faster on 40 cable strands discs. In fact, of many penny pinching manufacturers (some of them major) regularly used for the optical drive and hard drive on the same cable as the motherboard has two connectors, resulting in a decrease in performance on the disk hard (although most of the people would not have noticed the difference). Sometimes, the cable would be 40 strand (understandable if you are penny pinching) and sometimes the cable would be 80 strand (laughable if you are penny pinching because they are [were] more expensive).

  Pass your question about vacant below the sound card. Unless your text confused me, this space is for expansion cards no disk drives. Space that you reference is probably to the back of the PC. Hard drives are normally located toward the front of the dedicated PC "berries". Unfortunately, I could find no photo on the Toshiba site, and still less those internal.

• Replace the HDD with SSD boot disk and use the disk HARD now as secondary storage

  I would like to replace my dv7 - 6143cl HDD with a SSD boot drive and using the OEM HARD drive as secondary storage.

  I have the SSD and the caddy

  I need to:

  delete the original OEM HD

  Install the SSD

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  Install Win 7 (I don't have install disks - what is on the HARD drive in his backup partition)

  or I have to

  delete this HD

  Install the SSD

  go into the BIOS, and then assign him drive in AHCI (etc.)

  Install Win 7

  install OEM HARD drive in secondary Bay

  etc.

  I want to dual-boot, if possible, but I think that the second HD (start-up disk) does not start, even if I change the settings in the BIOS

  is this true?

  Thank you very much

  Hello:

  Your BIOS is set to AHCI (or RAID) by default. It cannot be changed.  Look in your device manager and in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section, look to see if there is a controller SATA ACHI he.

  If so, you have an AHCI BIOS default.

  If you go further down the line in Device Manager and see a section of storage controllers, click on that, you would see a SATA RAID controller and your BIOS is set to default RAID.

  I don't have your model laptop so I don't know if HP has implemented some models double disk RAID or AHCI.

  So... First, copy your original C:\ drive SWSetup folder and save that to a portable hard drive. That must contain all the files installation for the drivers and the software provided with your PC. You can search this folder for programs that you may want to reinstall after your new SSD drive HARD primary.

  To install W7 on your SSD, check your own install of W7 disc.  Here's how:

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.
