Should I replace a disc by disc identical to another server?

Question from newbie here: I have a server with SAS drive failure predicted and I hope to retire this server within a month. At the same time, I have an another 2950 that have recently been removed and (if possible), I would like to re - use a drive with her during the short period of time that I need to avoid costs on a disc that I won't need any time soon.

Can I use any identical drive from the old system to replace the failed drive? The disc contains a RAID configuration of the other system as data, which have all (I hope) would be crushed when I plug the drive and rebuild the table.

Amator2b,

Yes, you can use this disk as a hot spare. However, due to pre-existing RAID meta data on the drive, it will show in a foreign configuration. In order to bypass the foreign configuration, enter the BIOS OF THE controller using Ctrl-R utility and go to the foreign column of the VD.  Here you will find an option to clear this configuration. You can also clear the foreign configuration via software of the OMSA, if installed. Once disabled, enable the reader to rebuild in the table.

  • Error setting in the form of CD - RW problem: Windows cannot format this type of disc. Insert another disk and try again.

    Original title: problem formatting CD - RW

    I want to copy some files (word documents) on a CD - RW. I just bought a new box of these discs: Memorex high speed 12 X 800 MB 80 min

    Hi mariec59,

    a. see play CD/DVD and burning issues.
    b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
    c. restart the computer and check if the problem persists.

  • How to replace the contents of the settings/passwords backup server / current browser bookmarks?

    Classic scenario: after the bookmark long manual organization Firefox Sync adds trash of its server to my laptop or tablet.

    Where can I find how to replace the content of the backup of the server by settings/passwords / current browser bookmarks? Stupid me, I put a new synchronization and lost this ability.

    It is not recommended to go back to the old version of Sync

    The old version is removed he'll stop being available soon, it takes getting used to using the new version.

    IIRC, it is actually possible to force synchronization of the old working with Fx29 & Fx30 using an old profile or preferences of piracy, but I don't think I should encourage users to try this, but it would be better than using an older version of Firefox which is really bad. In fact using an old outdated version of Firefox is so bad, that it is customary to recommend using a browser on alternative day of someone else instead.

    Firefox ESR is aimed at corporate users, definitely, at the moment, it will use the synchronization of the former. Who will update soon to use synchronization well again, and this time, I guess the synchronization of the former will probably totally frowned upon for example are not available at all.

    It is possible to use the feedback system to leave a short comment on Sync. I would recommend this making, but at least to make very many people of spirit comments that I doubt will have no effect.

  • How can we replace Oracle form when you used by another user

    Hi Experts,

    Is it possible to replace Oracle form while in use by another user?

    Some time need deliver urgent fixes on the production environment, but it must wait for downtime, and the form does not use.

    I searched the Forum, but able to get the answer to this topic, I will be grateful if you could provide no alternative to do this.

    Env:

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    WebLogic Server 10.3.5

    Oracle form & report 11.1.2

    Hello

    For Production environment, it will be handled with tactics that led to minor maintenance work as well.

    You must have two physical directories (real and temporary) including the same fmx/plx/pll/mmx, files etc.

    and a file reference of in the FORMS_PATH in default.env, who have the latest version of the source.

    Copy the last source file into a temporary directory, when the user take the new session, it will access the new version of the source of the temporary path and who obviously last source version.

    Meanwhile, once the actual source published by the user version, you can copy the latest version of the source to the real directory and reset the FORMS_PATH with the actual path.

    In this way, you can solve your problem.

  • Can I create a snapshot and replace it with an image (or link another picture than the current)?

    Based on http://forums.Adobe.com/thread/1308132?TSTART=0 I decided to add each question separately:

    Hello, I am very interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC that was missing today. Yet, I have several questions that I can't find really good conclusive answers, I'd like to get an answer before buying LR. Please do not write maybe like this or that (assumptions), because I don't want to start my entire workflow and then realize that I have to change all around, please reply, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using this method too.

    Can I create a snapshot and replace it with an image (or link another picture than the current photo)? Details: I made adjustments in iPhoto until now I want my (unpublished) masters, some RAWs JPEGs, create a snapshot and set the photo as the one to keep. If it is not possible, all of the recommendations (in addition the usual masters of backup and import changes).

    What I do is I have to assign some metadata down battery photo indicating of don't not to export the picture. Then, I use either a collection of smart to find the photo I want to and can not find the photos, I don't want and export all in the smart collection. or I use a Collection of post Smart, even once allows me to select only the pictures I want and not those I want.

    Of course you manually uncheck items you want to export, which work as well.

  • How long should memory burned in appliances before putting a production ESX Server?

    I'm studying for my exam this month and I came across a test question and I wanted to understand why you need to do this and how to do this.

    How long should memory burned in appliances before putting a production ESX Server? 72 hours

    Thank you

    Leaders wrote:

    OK, when you say let the server power. Does this mean that you leave the server turned on with no OS loaded on the system or it would be nice to have ESX4 loaded on the system with no VM running?

    Load us the operating system and that this site 'lazy' for 48-72 hours

    The reason why I ask this question, it is b/c I have two new 900R Dell Powered Edge servers that I just fired up and loaded ESX4 on them. I have to wipe their and that they sit to burn in the memory or can I just the servers sit there how they are until Monday and call it good?

    You don't need to wipe

    What happens if you leave no burn in memory?

    What could happen, you might get degraded parts, or on the other hand, you might have a server that works very well.  Some companys may not have the luxury to allow material to acclimate to the environment, but if you have that luxury this is good practice.

  • Lost disc installation and documentation for Vista but who still have the product key, should be replaced

    * original title - I Am A Genuine user of windows vista. I have loss all documents and the installation cd. Product key have only. How can I get an another free Windows CD? *

    Hi Aowlad,

    If your copy of Vista came pre-installed with your PC, you should contact the manufacturer of your PC for replacement disks. You will find no doubt that they will charge you for the replacement and they won't be cheap.

    If you purchased your copy of Vista in a store you will be normal should have the purchase receipt or proof of purchase (I guess a credit card statement would be sufficient, but I'm not sure). Take a look at this link for more details:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;326246

  • Inspiron 1525 / Windows Vista replaced but disc will not load the drivers

    Inspiron 1525 (6/2008) hard drive failed.    Bought a Western Digital spare hard drive 500G (WD Blue) SATA III 5400 RPM.   (NOTE: this is the 2nd replacement hard drive because I bought the 1525... the first time I replaced the hard drive, everything worked as it should.) Original hard drive was a Seagate).

    Replacement hard drive installation is installed it will not load the Vista OS from the disk to the operating system (which came with the laptop) because it does not recognize the driver for the hard disk.

    I tried downloading the latest drivers from the Dell site, but which did not work or the other.

    As I said, the previous hard drive replacement (an another western digital) works perfectly when I reinstalled the Vista operating system in 2010.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you...

    Thanks for the detailed instructions.   I tried everything, but it didn't work.

    Then I read about someone trying to install the same on an Inspiron 1545 hard drive and need to adjust the drive to align with the connectors using paper and another person was using the foil which made me realize that it was a problem of 'size' or 'worthy '. I then decided to open the laptop and manually set the new drive in place and everything works now. (Dell 1525 has a side load drive holder therefore had to open to make this setting correctly).  The player on the 1525 is 9.5 mm thick, but the new disc is 7 mm... even though the sales page for this player said he would fit a 9.5 mm slot.

    Everything is good now.

  • Amount of data lost after replacement of disc on Readynas Pro 6

    Hi, I just came across a serious problem, and I hope someone can help me.

    Currently my Readynas Pro 6 does not see no matter what volume the 6 X-Raid Array disk more.

    I walked past my NAS one a few hours ago and saw the display flashing with the message that the volume has been degraded. A little strange as I had not had any warning about the deterioration of the disc before. I have identified the disc (#2) and replaced by a spare part that I had prepared for such occasions. After the reconstruction has been completed the readynas showed the message that the volume was still degraded: about 5 to 10 minutes later the identified readynas drive 5 must be replaced. Two drives at the same time? I don't have another spare drive, so I thought of making a scrub to see if that would make a difference. The scrub my NAS on the timer go out. When I restarted it, it had lost its range X-Raid.

    Anyone have any idea if I can solve this? The pro6 nas Works 6.2.4, the admin interface works fine, I have access to log files.

    Erik

    Yes, required that windows file systems.

    Obviously much cheaper than any professional collection service.
