SAS Raid 15 k on Raid SSD HDD

Hello. I have a Dell PowerEdge T310 with SAS 6/iR Server adapt including two 300 GB hard SAS 15 k Raid 1 drives. I just bought two 400 GB of SSD SAS Enterprise grade drives. I'm looking to replace hard drives with SSDS. What is the easy/more fastest way to get there?

Can I delete a hard drive and leave the table rebuild on the SSD and then finished on the first SSD, repeat for the second?

Backup/restore. You cannot mix SAS/SATA or SSD/HDD in a table.

  • If anyone has installed ESXi on an old post XW8400 and make use of the SAS RAID?

    So I dug up an old HP XW8400 Workstation, but it is missing some parts and I thought I'd see if anyone has this thing running with the SAS RAID, because most of the forums of discussion and problems seem to revolve around the SATA RAID.

    Well, you're lucky, because I had this question a long time ago, but I never thought that someone else would have taken the trouble but YES - it is supported - even if everybody out there seems to focus on the SATA RAID I took not stable worth, since I use SAS disks in my workstation , because they are MUCH faster and can support a flow MORE.

    It is an old machine, but I was surprised that he was able to follow with the latest versions of ESXi, that's why I don't bother throwing, so if someone is there looking into the purchase of a good workstation MARKET that supports ESXi 5.1 with dual Quad Core Xeon, 32 GB of RAM, and SAS RAID so you won't go wrong with this one. You will encounter a small problem though, but I guess I'll wait for others to try to run this configuration that I share this juicy tidbit, although it is relatively easy to overcome and all depends on how you run ESXi...

  • Windows 8 Defrag lists raided SSD as HARD drive

    I have a 3rd gen core i7 with a card mother z77 (Asus P8Z77-V Pro) running Windows 8.

    I have 4 SSD RAID 0 would be in 2 groups and all 4 disks are plugged into the Intel SATA plugs.  I also have a 1 than to plugged catch NO Intel SATA HARD drive.

    A group is my boot (C) drive that is 2 x ADATA SX900 256 GB, and others, I have for storage (D) which is 2 x SanDisk Extreme 240 GB.

    I installed the latest Intel RST drivers.

    Under the Windows Defragmenter, my C drive is listed as SSD but my D drive is listed as a HARD drive.

    I want my D drive will be listed as SSD so that the FILLING can be passed to it.  My C drive when I click on optimize correctly trimmed output %, while the D drive outputs % consolidated.

    I have all 4 disks and two exactly the same RAID configurations in the BIOS and drivers of the RST with the exception of a difference.  Drive C is using 64 k band and D drive is using 128 KB Strip.  I can't imagine it is what makes Windows think that the D drive is a HARD drive because of the size of distribution?

    Is there something I can do in the registry to recognize my D as an SSD drive?

    I would rather not reformat my D drive to 64 KB stripe just to see if that solves it if there is something I can do with the registry, config, or otherwise in the software.


    Thanks in advance for any ideas.

  • PowerEdge RAID SSD Options

    Hello

    I want to create a configuration of server and storage, I would look at the below:

    • PERC H730P internal RAID, 2 GB of Cache NV controller
    • 2 x 200 GB SSD (RAID 1 for the OS)
    • 4 x 400 GB SSD (RAID 10)

    I've seen on these forums that this or similar configurations are supported and even saw a white paper on the Dell website where a 4 discs SSD RAID 10 has been used, but still my assigned comes to tell me that the SSDS in a RAID configuration is not "recommended" by Dell and are rather trying to sell me the solution of Cache of DAS of SanDisk.

    Looking for confirmation that I can use drives SSD in a RAID AND configuration has full Dell supported. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this.

    Hello

    What model of server are you watching? What OS you run on it? If you use valid Dell SSD, you shouldn't have a problem with this Setup. The controller supports the TRIM and should work fine in the RAID. If you use rank consumer SSD you can have problems.

  • X 51 R2 i5 RAID SSD

    Hello peeps.

    After a lot of reading, train and otherwise.

    My system was original X 51 R2 4th i5. Genesis 1 TB 3.5 "Seagate. 8 GB of Ram.

    I upgraded to 16 GB Kingston KHX16C10B1BK2/16 X kit.

    & two 120 GB SSD Intel 530

    Should not be a problem, but yes, indicated in Bank unique manual RAID options should be available in the BIOS, but isn't.

    Alienware, AlienRespawn/Windows / (USB / CD *) migration utilities would be or can not migrate from original HD to SSD. No question.

    Software migration of data Intel, on a DVD was the only way I could do this work. Boot to the DVD, then migrate to ONE of the 530 SSD, then start the second 530 Intel SSDS on Windows 8 and picked up Intel Rapid Storage software, so I could choose to mirror my SSD (RAID 1).

    If DELL would have provided installation media, so that I can do a CLEAN INSTALL WIN 8 or whatever, it would not even a problem.

    How much for a tray of DVD these days?

    CHANGE 21.3.2014

    Hi again.
    I used the following parts for this project a minimum.

    1 x Molex 4 pin for power cable 2 x SATA 15pin (total 21 cm / 16 cm cable only)

    1 x Molex 4 pin Cable in there, male Molex to 2 x Molex female (total 24 cm / 19 cm cable only)

    2 x SATA III cable 7-pin straight both ends (50cm in total)

    You need a HARD drive bay that takes two SSD (or make your own platform / 'thing')
    I think it would make the Akasa work: AK-HDA-03

    There is ONLY an outtake of power of HARD drive on the motherboard, and it's MOLEX 4 pin MALE!, not female that would be normal.

    SeeYa.

    Hehe, you do not yield easily as you.

    For the X 51 R2 (not R1), there is none, none what config so that never the RAID option in the bios, or Pre-boot menu.

    I think that ERROR! in the manual of the State in which he is, may be leftovers in R1 manual.

    Have a nice day :)

  • ESXi: SAS Raid 1 Boot w / SATA for backup?

    Situaltion:

    • There is currently no effective backup strategy.  Download that data over a slow WAN link can be used to restore or install timely.

    • 2 units of each SCSI 146 GB for $100 / month.  2 each 1 TB SATA disks for $100 / month, provider supplied NAS 300 GB for $150 / mo.  Seller provided iSCSI for 300 GB to $200 / month.

    • Cost per GB SCSI is not yet close to that of SATA.  Two 146 GB drives would be very marginal.

    • I intend to load balancing and cluster two sites on servers with something like CARP.  I am open to any suggestion using NAS and iSCSI.  The main things that matter are mysql used by http, http and email.  Sites are dynamic and use PHP which requires the session data.

    Mission:

    • Store copies of virtual machines, store ISO images, make backups of the operating system and perform backups of application server to provide access to the required software and backup and highspeed images.

    • Retain the ability to balance the load and 2 cluster sites.

    Equipment available:

    Execution:

    I need your ideas to develop a good strategy.

    1. Yes.  You can assign to ESX directly and create a VMFS out of it, and then give that space for the virtual machine that you use for the backup.  You have to be careful and make sure that go you through the HCL (vmware.com/go/hcl) to get a SATA controller supported.  Not all controllers will work and be recognized by ESX.

    2 Yeap.  You need not necesarilly CYGWIN for NFS, there are tools of $ M that can be loaded as well Windows services for unix, either will endeavour to provide an NFS server.  The downside is you need a windows license, but the customer is handy to have.  You can use a virtual linux machine, and even if you can't use the vi client, you can use the remote cli tools that are available for Linux.  Vima (VI Management Assistant) unit is a device based on linux with the remote cli installed, might want to take a look if you have not already.  You can use samba on it and be able to map a drive as your windows machines.

    3. Yes, absolutely.  If you have an NFS server, you can also use it as a data store NFS for the 2nd Server.

    4 VCB is very convenient and it will allow you to skip creating a server and the export of the step of the vm, but you will still need to configure vcb proxy, which will need a windows server.

  • MD3200 (SAS) Raid controllers and VLAN

    I have a MD3200 (SAS) and the host running ESXi 5 U2. Is it possible to configure the VLAN tagging on the management ports of the MD3200 outside the standard IP gateway configuration and the subnet mask?

    I don't see one either. Textbooks mention also the option to label the management ports.

    Based on the absence of mention of this in the manual, I feel confident in saying that you can not use VLAN tagged on the management ports.

  • iMac SSD & HDD

    Hello

    I'm looking to install a SSD Samsung Eco 2 TB and a normal digital black among Westerners of 6 TB HDD, can I ask people their advice? I try to have ssd as my boot drive and the 6 TB for backup and the files.

    (a) problems with the selected material

    (b) it is useful, wise money for example I should save a little more and buy a new iMac

    (c) are there alternatives

    looking to make a TI takes forever to go start cold.

    I have a mid 2011 iMac i7 (12,2) with the last what OS X installed.

    Cheers in advance,

    RK based in the United Kingdom

    The major issue that you will have is that the 2011 iMac is not a disk controller capable of working with a 3 to or more large internal drive. Furthermore, what is the point of this large an SSD? If the Samsung Eco models are cheaper SSD, while they are cheaper because they are made with older chips may not correspond to current levels of performance. Do you really need a 2 TB SSD for a boot disk? A smaller and better quality SSD may be a better choice.

    Hello

    I guess you want to install the operating system (which one?) on the internal mSATA SSD 32GB?
    This mSATA SSD is used for caching (hybrid boot) to start Windows faster 8.

    I recommend you to install the second operating system on the HARD drive.
    To do this you must create the new partition that could be used for the installation of the OS.

    Then boot from the Windows installation disc and install the OS 2nd on the new partition.

  • Best SSD & HDD configuration environment iMac 2010

    I put my 2010 middle level 21.5 "iMac with a 1 TB Samsung Evo 850 SSD. I'll use the OWC data backup kit to replace the optical drive in the iMac with the SSD. To feel pretty comfortable with the facility itself after having looked through the iFixit guide and various You Tube videos. My issue is with how best to configure the installed SSD.

    I use mostly the iMac for Lightroom CC and I'm under El Capitan.

    My 1 TB HARD drive and is full of about 80%. I want to use the SSD as boot obviously drive and also use it for all my applications. I just want all my old music files and RAW files on the HARD drive that I don't need to access often. There are about 300 MB of old RAW files, I can move on the HARD drive, then once as it is setup, I hope that I'll have to say 500 MB on the SSD and 300 MB on the HARD disk. As my RAW files grow I still move the old files on the HARD drive to keep the SSD to become too full.

    I had planned to restore all my files for the SSD from a Time Machine backup and then format the HARD drive before joining former RAW HARD drive files. But:

    -which is the best way?

    There's an easy way to achieve the same goal without keeping all my cruft?

    -going to have my HARD drive plugged complicated issues when restoring to the SSD?

    -should I use carbon copy cone instead?

    Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    How to use an SSD with your HARD drive


    If you want to use an SSD as boot with your existing HARD disk drive, as the disk 'data', here is what you can do.

    After installing the SSD, you need to partition and format the SSD using disc utility disc. Then install OS X on the SSD. Once installed OSX boot from SSD. Startup disk preferences to set up the SSD as the boot volume.

    Open the preferences users and groups. Click the lock and authenticate you. Or CTRL - RIGHT click on your username account list in the sidebar and select Advanced Options in the context menu. You will see a field called "Home dir: ' on the far right, you will see an Edit button. Click on it. In the file dialog box, navigate to the location in house now located on the HARD disk (disk HARD/users/user_name /.) Select the folder, click the Open button. Restart the computer, as shown. When the computer starts, it will now use the home located on the HARD drive folder.

    Another more technical method involving the Terminal and the alias is discussed in depth here: using OS X with a SSD and HDD - Matt Gemmell configuration. It's my preferred approach because I can choose which records of the House, I want to on the HARD drive and I don't want to. For example, I like to keep Documents and library files on the SSD because I frequently access their content.

    Make sure that you keep the bootable system entirely on your HARD drive where you need it.

    Note that if you open the computer Apple won't provide any additional support if you need it. Make sure that you don't damage anything. Learn how to do what you plan to do before you start. It's a bad idea to try to learn along the way. There are small tablecloths at the back of the monitor that must be removed in order to access the disk space. There is also a special thermal cable required. I suggest you visit OWC where provide it a kit to add another disk to an iMac.

    You cannot copy OS X of your HDD to the SSD while leaving everything else behind. After installing the SSD you partition delete it, then install Snow Leopard top of your OS X disk installer supplied with the computer. After that, you can go to El Capitan if you wish.

    Clean Install of Snow Leopard

    1. start the computer using the Snow Leopard installation disc or disc 1 that came

    with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.

    After the ring, press and hold the "C" key.  Release the button when you see

    a small gear appear under the dark gray Apple logo.

    2. once the load setup program select your language and click continue

    button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.

    After loading disk utility, select entry Out-dented the SSD in the list on the left.

    Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility.  Set the number of

    partitions to one (1) from the Partitions of the dropdown menu, click on the Options button

    GUID, click OK, and then select define the Mac OS Extended format type

    (Journaled), then click on the apply button.

    3. once formatting is complete utility of disk and return to the installer.

    Proceed with the installation of OS X and follow the instructions included with the installation program.

    4. Once installation is complete your computer will restart in the Setup

    Assistant. After finishing Setup Wizard will complete the installation, after which

    you will use a new installation of Mac OS X.  You can now begin the process of updating

    at the opening of updated software and installing all recommend updates to bring your

    current installation.

    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo.

  • Double disc SSD/HDD on MacBook Pro late 2011

    So I finally finished putting my double drive on my MacBook Pro late 2011. I ended up putting the SSD where the optical drive has been, since research told me that the end 2011 MBP is the lucky model with an optical drive that supports Sata III. If anyone can give me a reason to spend my SSD and HDD, please let me know.

    Anyway, now I ask to help with setting up my macbook pro to use two disks. I copied everything on the SSD and the SSD drive is set to start my computer to the top. I can already tell that this thing is so much faster now. However, I basically just have two exact copies of my all my stuff on the two disks. How can I configure my computer to know which drive to use? I want a few things to use my HARD drive and other things to use my SDD, not all at once. Where are these settings and how to do?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi Jdsr4c:

    I have a Macbook Pro 2011 start.

    I installed a 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO instead of HD.

    I moved the HD to the optical Bay.

    Optical Bay has 3 Gigabit speed. HD space has a 6 Gigabit speed.

    See the screenshots of my mac.

    The old HD, I would reformat is not bootable.

    I use my old HD for storage of movies, etc.

    So for example, I'll download a movie and then move it to my old hard drive. I'll put it in a directory named for example movies.

    On the SSD, I'll do an 'Alias' pointing to the movies on the old HD directory (on windows, it would be a shortcut).

    In any case, hope this helps.
