• Adding space with bigger hard drives with 3WARE 9650SE RAID

  My original installation of Windows 7 is on a RAID 10 set up using 4 640 GB drives on a 3Ware 9650SE RAID card.  I replaced the drives one at a time with 1 TB drives, leaving reconstruction table each time before adding another.   Now that all 4 are in place, I would have a little less than 2 TB of space, but it does not appear.  Win7 is installed on a 200 GB partition, with the rest of the disk space showing that GB 972 yet (that I use for file storage).   Any thoughts on how to extend this option to use all the available space under the name more storage RAID 2?  I does not appear under management of the reader and does not help the 3DM 2 with resizing tool.  This has worked well for the RAID migration when on the SATAs motherboard, but it's another controller.   I would prefer not to have to reload Windows to use the extra space.

• GCCA 3ware 9650SE RAID several paths

  I have a card to SATA RAID 3ware 9650SE on my box of esxi. I've implemented since my previous esxi 3.5 installation several paintings, one being 4x1TB led to a RAID 5. I activated the function autocarving in the configuration of 3ware split of this table in a 2 TB LUNS, the rest going to a logic unit number separate. Using the oem.tgz created by 3ware, it worked flawlessly.

  I've since upgraded to esxi4 using the new vmware certified drivers for the 3ware card. Everything seems to work fine until I noticed that was missing the second LUN mentioned above. After a bit of Googling, I tracked down the culprit.

  VMkernel: 0:02:46:07.508 cpu7:39633) WARNING: VMW_SATP_LOCAL: satp_local_claim: VMW_SATP_LOCAL does not support several paths per device.  Refusing to claim the vmhba1:C0:T1:L1 path.

  My question is simply can get around this? The 3ware card will work with any of the other types of native storage? If so, what should I do?

  good news!

  the device id t10. AMCC___V0258752290BCA003458 should be unique, maybe 3ware can tell how to configure each lun unique id?

• Satellite L30-10 X - need sata\raid drivers for Windows XP

  Need to install the drivers sata\raid for windows XP. Laptops Satellite L30-10 X. Please tell me where I can find it.

  Hello

  Normally, you find that the SATA drivers in display driver package which you can download from the official website of Toshiba... Usually they are placed under the screen driver\SBDrv but I downloaded it and t SATA driver file is :(

  What you can do is download the driver of another model, perhaps Satellite L300D or similar model.

  An alternative you can install Windows XP compatible mode. Go into the BIOS, HDD AHCI mode to the compatible. Then, you don't need a driver.

• Re: Need driver XP SATA/RAID for Satellite Pro U400

  Hi all

  I've searched and searched, but I can't for the life of me find suitable driver to install XP on my machine. It came pre-installed with Vista which is useless to me because of the instability, bugs, just be a poor OS. I got the new laptop for a week now and have not been able to use again, so it would really appreciate someone pointing me in the direction of SATA/RAID drivers for XP.

  Thank you!
  E.g.

  Hello

  The Satellite Pro U400 needs a SATA driver, and you can find it in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager package.

  This storage manager can be downloaded from the European driver Toshiba page (see the series of portable different) or you can also download it from the Intel site.

  The SATA driver must be installed during XP Setup process. You must press the F6 key to include a 3rd party (SATA driver) from the external USB floppy drive.

  If you don t have a floppy drive, then you could create a clean XP CD with SATA driver. NLite freeware software can be useful for these jobs

  My advice is; Google a bit for nLite for more details.

  Good bye

• ESXi 5.0 U1 could be installed on a SATA drive, but can't the SATA RAID

  This is the case:
  My physical server includes the Intel series E5-2600, Intel C600 (A for SATA) chipsets.
  In the VMware ESXi 5.0 Update 1 Release Notes, I find his support for chipsets Intel C600 and E5-2600.
  So I want to confirm if ESXi 5.0 U1 could be installed in my machine.
  In my test, ESXi 5.0 U1 can be installed with a SATA, but not SATA RAID drive. (Installed by CD)
  What's wrong?
  Waiting for your help.
  Thank you!

  Another feature that is missing in ESXi is caching block... So if you buy a hardware RAID card choose one with a battery to use the cache policy writing and write I/O faster.

• Advice on the Sata Raid Controller

  Hi all

  After a months long test of ESXi 3.5, now I want to configure a more robust system based on a Dell SC 1420, but with an updated Sata Raid Controller to level.  I need to choose a mid Sata Raid controller price (£120 - £150) but I'm worried about compatibility.

  Can anyone recommend a Sata Raid which will give good performance and is supported with ESXi 3.5

  I don't want to change the configs and others, even if other people seem to have made this summer with success.

  Dave

  Go to www.vm-help.com. (Awesome site of Dave M) You will find a whitebox HCL it as well as Sata controllers. Note that these llisted are not supported by VMware, but have been confirmed to work.

• ASUS P6T7 WS - SAS and SATA RAID-0 / boot

  
  

  I am trying to determine the optimal configuration of HD to better use

  I intend to fill all 12 available bays 3.5 "in the Lian Li PC-A77F and want

• mini h710p forget right SATA raid after restart?

  Hello

  I have trouble adding a new hard drive in my existing server. My server is R720 and with 2 virtual disk (the two 3-drive raid 5, HDD SAS)

  I just want to add a SATA hard drive, so I inserted the disc at the front and Ctrl-R in the raid configuration, press F2 to create new VD and add the disk, check the initialization, and after clicking ok system the initization is completed as in 2 seconds. It all seems normal. And I pressed the ESC key to exit, System told me to Ctrl-Alt-Del... OK, very good.

  However, after the restart in the startup message Raid card, it says that my newly created VD02 doesn't have the drive and will be inadequate. The exact message is:

  The following virtual disks are missing: 02 If you continue (or load the configuration utility), these virtual disks will be deleted from your configuration. If you want to use them later, they will have to be imported. If you believe that these virtual disks should be present, please turn off your system and check your cables to ensure all disks are present. Press any key to continue, or 'C' to load the configuration utility.

  Tried updating raid card to the latest firmware (21.3.2 - 0005), to build a raid 1 with a SATA 2 drive instead of one, replace the hard disk, build the raid using raid tool in the bios, all with the same result.

  I have not installed any kind of dell openmanage.

  Tried a blink and unblink disc, there is no problem. And of course I unplug the disc after the reboot.

  I have once again, read the instructions and see that SAS & SATA drives are supported simultaineously, as long as they are not in the same virtual disk. What did I miss? Any help is appreciated.

  It is certainly the case. Probably more so now then years... and for different reasons.

  Company leads to meet SATA or SAS standards and increasingly being designed to run 24 x 7, are designed to react differently to the controllers and behave differently with regard to the maintenance of data in redundancy (standalone vs) environment.

  EACH disc is designed for a specific purpose these days - some for storage of low power in a NAS capability, some to access high-performance RAID arrays, some for use Office/casual consumer, some for quick access to the database, others for a slower archival capacity. A bit of research necessary to make sure that you have the good tech for the good work. Use the Server grows in servers, NAS NAS drives, disks of desktop/laptop computer in desktop computers / cell phones, etc.

  Using a player from the server as a stand-alone drive in a laptop Desk/computer is as bad to use a portable office/computer in a server... you may lack of reliability and the potential loss of data.

  Yes, this link seems to have enough detailed instructions on how to install the specific driver under ESX and ESXi.

  When I run Setup ESXi 4.0 DVD, there no option anywhere to load additional drivers?

  According to the article, your RAID device can only serve as secondary storage under ESXi.    If this is the case, I would be first to install ESXi to a small local SATA or USB.  After the initial installation, you can then follow the instructions in the article linked to download/install the driver for your RAID controller.  Then you can use your RAID array to store your guests on.
