SAN replica Clones - Ghost drive

Hello

I have been using the SAN replication and cloning it on my local machine using the iSCSI initiator.  After that I'm done with the clone, I disconnect him from the iSCSI initiator.  Set it offline, and then delete the volume.

I noticed that I have a ghost disk used for the cloned volume.  There is nothing I can do to get rid of it and release the drive letter.  It does not appear in disk management and diskpart.

Is there a way to remove the phantom drive?  I'm disconnecting the reply correctly?

Thank you.

Ok.  After restarting, next time, do not set it offline.  Close all Windows Explorer, or whatever it is that is accessed.  Then log out via iSCSI initiator.   See if that changes anything.    Otherwise, restart and try to delete the partition before disconnecting.   There is no need to set offline in the first disk manager.

Otherwise, try a different version of the OS to mount the replica.   Window7, for example.

  • You need 2 TB 2nd hdd on Pavilion hpe h8 - 1380t so I can clone main drive. Problems?

    I need to spend my second hdd to a 2 TB drive, so I can clone main drive.  Are there compatibility issues, that I need to know?

    It should not be. A 2 TB drive is an option on this model. If it will not be the main disk where the OS is installed, then the only real problem in that you should have to run is to find an additional SATA cable.

  • How to clone hard drive in a new ssd

  • clone hard drive

    Hello.

    I want to back up a former under OSX Tiger 10.4.11 G5 power. I can't use DiskUtil I want to clone the same partition that the operating system is running from. I can't use Time Machine, which requires at least OS x 10.5. I can't use CCC or Super Duper as advised forwards messages that asked the same question as the Tiger-compatible versions out no more. The computer cannot be connected to the internet and I do not have the original Tiger installation DVD.

    What would be the best way to back up the computer? Could I do that starting from a Linux install DVD with partition wizard? Are there alternatives better? I want to just clone and throw away the computer.

    Kind regards

    Baptist

    If you're throwing the computer why not just remove the drive?

    Time Machine is not a clone.

    Why do you need to clone? The main purpose of a clone is to have a bootable copy. What should you?  If this isn't the case, then just copy the files in the finder.

  • M6-1035dx Pavilion: clone SSD drive cannot locate the recovery Partition

    I recently bought a HD 500 GB of SSD to replace the original that came with the laptop.  The SSD drive I bought is slightly smaller than the original one.   I used the cloning software is Macrium.  Partitions, I am interested in cloning are the HPTools and recovery.  Stand have been cloned successfully by the software.  I put the active recovery as well.

    After swapping the drives, the system starts the HPTools immediately, but the options for the restoration part are "grayed out".  I can't access it.  I tried several times, and this is where I am stuck.  It seems that the recovery partition is not detected by the cloned HPTools.

    I do not have the recovery DVD, but I have the original HD with partitions intact and they work just fine because I recently test the recovery process.

    I missed well to clone the original HD somehow that the SSD is unable to detect the partition?  Maybe I missed a step?  The difference in the size of the hard drive causes a problem in the recovery process?  How can I remedy the situation and use my new SSD?

    Thank you for all your advice.

    Try the complete sector-by-sector disk cloning.  If you use Macrium, you will need a paid version. The free version just do enough for the advanced cloning procedure you need.  See the following web document to compare versions.

    http://www.Macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

    BTW, an SSD detects nothing. This is the BIOS and the operating system that detects hardware, firmware and software.

    You can use HP recovery media successfully on an SSD or not, that has at least 160 GB of capacity. Your 500 GB SSD certainly has enough capacity.

  • Clonning C:\ Drive only to VM for recovery purposes

    Hi all


    I have a Windows 2000 VM server and this server has 3 present different drives, C: D: and E:, we do not have much space left on the data store, and we try to clone the server for Recuperationcapacite. We only need to clone the C:\ to save space on the datasore.


    I read on the forum and other links and I noticed that some suggestions are as indicated below:


    1 - use the stand-alone converter VMware? What is the best approach?


    2-using the vMA according to this link ( http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1027872 ( )


    While I was checking the virtual Center, hence this virtual machine is to be mangaged, I managed to browse the DATA store and browse the files of the virtual machine and I see the C:\ drive, so I was wondering if I could copy this VMDK file and spent in the top folder (which she is the data store level where you can see all VMs records) ,


    It would be the same as these two methods or better and easier?


    Also would it work if I create new windows 2000 Server and use the clone disk as its drive?


    What is the best and simplest way to clone drive c:\ of VM that will work 100% is also taken from the server was necessary?

    Thank you for your time and effort

    Hi the easiest way is copy & paste, then can use clone, it will ask you moved or copied at restore time if you used an option copy & paste.

  • Clone hard drives with raid 1 Server

    I have T110 server with raid 1 and need to put larger in discs.  Do I need acronis or with raid one can I just jump frog records.  Can I put in larger disk in drive Bay leave disc copy 0 second ot new bigger disk and then Exchange disk 1 in drive 0 and put a new another drive in the Bay from 2nd.

    Does absolutely not the way. If it's a Soft raid then

    You can put larger discs in 1 at a time and you'll have to do this TWICE.

    Then rebuild the raid of critcal return to normal.

    Then you can extend the partition of the free space.

    If it's a hardware raid, you must create a new container on the discs and clone dvd or USB bootable from a USB that can contain all the data and.

  • clone hard drive and graphics downgraded. not activate

    I am planning to build a newer computer, so I lowered my current camera hard drive cloning a smaller drive with Acronis. then I installed the smaller disk of my current camera.  Then I went down the graphics card because I want to use on the next machine I intend on creating.  Everything started fine. Then.  half an hour later, a message "you must reactivate" came.  It would not automatically activate so I used automatic telephone activation suggested.  After putting in all the characters, he asked how many licenses, I used this product.  I said three, because I had used the third license on this machine before. I have a family pack.

    Apparently, it's the wrong answer. He wants a new license.  It's the same machine with the same motherboard and I do not see why I had to buy a license, just because I changed some hardware.

    By the way.  Just in case you're wondering, I reformatted the drive, I took off this machine and will use a new license key once this computer is completed.  So, what should I do to continue using the current license on this unit?

    Looks like you used the automation system, you should speak with a representative directly:
