SBS 2011 DVD wouldn't work, cannot restore.

I recently had a scare at the restoration of SBS 2011.

Basically, I had a problem where I couldn't boot into windows server 2008.  I do daily backups of windows, so I thought no worries, I will simply bring until yesterday.  I started on Windows SBS 2011 DVD I used to install it and click on restore and it told me that it wasn't the right version for the restoration, even if it's the CD that I used to install it (I upgraded service pack for installation).

Basically I could not access the restorations on my backup drive because he told me that it wasn't the same version of windows.

How can I fix this is do not have another DVD and windows do not allow me to create a restore in WIndows 2008 server startup disk, as they now rely soly on the installation DVD?

Part of the problem may be the server that is installed was a server Fujitsu requiring the installation of sbs in a quite unique way which was a pain, but I guess only on that.

Please help!

  • BSOD drives when adding T110 ii with PERC H200 and SBS 2011 or Server 2008 R2-

    Bought the server next in November 2011

    PowerEdge T110 II

    ManufDate: 24/10/2011 market: 06/11/2011
    RAM: 16 GB (4 x 4) 1333 mhz UDIMM DualRanked
    Processor: Xeon E3-1270 3.4 Ghz, 8 M cache, Turbo, Quad Core/8 t (80W)
    RAID: Map Perc H200
    Drive: 2 x 600GB 15K RPM SCSI 6Gbps 3 .5in - RAID 1 Mirror SA
    SBS 2011 standard x 64 (works on Win 2008R2)

    SBS 2011 installed without a problem and the server works perfectly since December 2011.  Backups occurring twice per day to a USB attached hard drive external 1.5 to and OS patches applied on a monthly basis without problem.

    Company need more storage so it wanted to add 2 drives more (same spec as to purchase). I thought to try to turn the RAID 1 pair in RAID 10 set in order to keep the simple logical configuration (a single large logical volume which now seems to be 1.2 TB in size instead of 600 GB) - could get but not really someone to describe if it could be done for non-destructive way that requires not the complete system installation/restoration - so opted for just add the 2 new drives as a RAID extra 1 pair in order to not reach a stable, boot, partition operating system running on the current RAID 1 pair.

    Contracted for the Dell technician to come out to install 2 new readers, be clear that the service was not complete until I had an extra pair of RAID 1, appearing as a usable operating system.

    Technician arrived, installed readers, set the new RAID pair in the H200 configuration utility, rebooted the system and when the BONES began to load had a blue screen BSOD. Technician then disconnected drives newly associated (the level of the cables) to see if the system would boot - BSOD again on restart (both of now get us this "pleated" feel if you know what I mean). Then went into the raid configuration utility, removed the new raid 1 volume (which, by the way, is appeared above the one existing in the list - which is not very intuitive that one that has been added is Volume 1 and the existing old is Volume 2 in the utility). After the triple-checking that we had the right volume (it showed that 8% initialized over the other which was complete, as well as the corresponding drive port numbers), we have REMOVED the new volume (at this point I don't remember if we had replaced the cables for the readers to perform this action).

    At startup the system rebooted normally - we were all so relieved, don't talk over retries at the moment.

    Talk to Dell there seems to be a problem with the PERC H200 firmware or drivers. Has not affected the config initial of a single pair of RAID 1, however caused problems when you attempt to add another pair. Escalation of Dell support said that has happened several times with Windows 2008 (which comes from the SBS 2011) systems. They recommended that the firmware update and the PERC H200 card drivers.

    I turned to the technician and asked when we could plan the updates of the firmware and driver and told him that they wouldn't do that (not sure that I blame the poor guy, he was sweating bullets after the BSOD 2nd).  I explained that we have contracted for installation services which included ensuring that the pair of extra disk appeared also usable for the operating system and he said that I needed to talk to Dell that.

    You wanted to post information on issues with PERC H200 BSOD when adding disks on Win2008 (or SBS 2011).

    Waiting for response from Dell as to who will come on-site to complete the installation.

    Any info about the question to know if the update of the firmware/driver will solve the problem or if I can do with reliability a disk 2 RAID 1 for a 4 disk RAID 10 conversion without having to reinstall/restore system would be appreciated.

    There is NO migration route TO or FROM a nested RAID levels (10, 50, 60) on one of the PERC H series, so it goes from 1 to 10 of RAID is not an option (without backup/replace/create/restore).

    Firmware release notes do not indicate that a large part is added (although the "bugs" may be enough):

    -Addition of Support for > 2.2 to SAS hard drives

    -Small bug fixes

    I have not seen/heard talk of this problem (I don't have a H200), but it is possible that an update of the firmware can change the way it handles the new disks, newly configured RAID arrays, or even how it presents to the OS.

    Do you know if the technician checked to see if the original VD was marked as boot VD?

  • SBS 2011 - delete shadow copies directories and cannot get the backup to work

    Help, please...
    I just installed SBS 2011.
    When I saw the low disk space getting I profiled in the directory structure and noted that most of the space was taken by windows.oldxxx directories. So I deleted one.
    But it was a bad idea. Then I realized what I did and used the vssadmin console to delete shadow copies etc. and even disable the shadow and recreate them via the computer, shared management gui.

    But now, backups fail to complete... shadow copy operation failed with error Ox800423f0.
    In a bit of panic, I deleted the rest hoping he would rebuild itself... no luck.
    I don't really know what to do.

    Is there a way to start everything again.

    Please... Please, I'd really appreciate a solid direction.

    Thank you

    Hello cvcnow,

    I would suggest trying to perform a restore of the system, prior to installation of SBC 2011.  I do not know what operating system you use, but included some links for Vista and Windows 7.  If you are running Windows XP, please let us know what version and service pack.

    I have a SBS 2011 and cannot connect to internet through VERIZON FIOS. The SBS is unable to detect the IP address and gave an error message. I never get to a screen that allows me to type in the "IP address of the router" or "IP address". Verizon told me that their router address is "192.168.1.1".

    I can't have the CD/DVD writer to work well. I looked on the downloads page, but there seems to be nothing. It reads the CD/dvd, but allow me to write to them. If I put a blank CD in nothing happens.

    Someone has ideas how to get this working again?

  • Cannot restore from a backup

    I cannot restore from a backup and don't know why.

    I have a Crucial SSD of BX100 in my mid 2010 MacBook Pro. It is divided into two partitions. I got Snow Leopard on a partition and Yosemite on the other. For some reason any I've never understood the Snow Leopard guarded beachballing partition. This happened if often that I decided to wipe the disk and reinstall from my backup, do it before the beachballing began to occur.

    But I can't restore. I wiped the drive of a Snow Leopard system, repaired and reformatted. The drive is not Core Storage, this is Mac OS extended (journaled). When I try to restore the restore on it works for about two minutes and then stops. Finally, I get a message saying that the disc has been ejected incorrectly.

    I noticed that when I receive information on the drive, an element appears different from other readers and which corresponds to the element, owners enabled: no each other drive I've seen says owners enabled: Yes. Is it all just because there is no system on the partition?

    Also "ignore ownership on this Volume" must be checked or unchecked?

    Suggestions welcomed, I am baffled by this.

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of sheets to (1) on the menu drop down. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
