• PowerVault NX400. It is possible to work with a Cluster SQL Server 2012?

  Hello, a customer asks me if the current NAS solution, they (DELL PowerVault NX400) will allow them to work as a shared Volume of participating in a Cluster of SQL Server Cluster using SQL Server 2012. If no what others don't bottom end (for small businesses) will be used for these purposes? Receive your answer. What about Diego VP

  Thks. DevMgr.

  In this sense, whereas the NX400 comes with Windows STORAGE Server 2012, which has an iSCSI Target Server (as a service) will allow only external 2 servers (active, active cluster) running Windows Server 2012 to use NAS as shared storage?   .

  Yes, if you use the iSCSI target option on your NX400, you could actually use your NX400 as a SAN and allow other 2 servers run a shared storage cluster.

  A few things to keep in mind:

  -When your NX400 must restart (for finishing or any other reason), you will need to first down both your servers in cluster

  -I recommend putting on 2 separate subnets and switches iSCSI traffic (or at least isolated VLAN on 2 separate physical switches). In other words; Avoid iSCSI traffic running on your local network for reasons of reliability and performance. I'd read some of the documentation of Equallogic iSCSI switch to see how you configure switches for iSCSI.

• How can I get Windows Server 2012 Essentials recognize my HARD drive when you turn an external HARD drive in a drive HARD internal storage?

  I recently had a pool of storage space using 3 external drives USB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 Essentials.  I decided to take the readers out of the enclosure and connected directly to the internal SATA connectors on my motherboard.  When the server was launched upward, these 3 discs now display as disconnected in storage.

  When I do the command 'get-disc' physical in PowerShell, the drives appear as "drives physical 1,2 & 5" and are 2.72 to each. "."  But it also lists disks Seagate Expansion as well, with a status of "communication lost".  These are the same three disks that are now internal.

  Nothing has been deleted or erased, so all the data is still on each individual unit and assume that if I managed to put back them in the external enclosure, would immediately online.  I thought that everything simply moving them to a new HARD disk controller (internal SATA USB) would not cause the pool to drop the readers, they are always connected to the same server.

  Is there a way to get storage space to see and read the 3 internal drives to bring my pool/area back online without losing any data?

• Server 2012 - storage server repair file error volume system

  Hey guys,.

  I'm up late panic hoping someone might have an answer.

  We have a file server, 2012 running storage server. One of the volumes reported an error so I have planned some time tonight to perform a repair on it.

  After reading good things about 2012 chkdsk I thought it would be a quick process, however after some further reading, it seems you need to run chkdsk from the command line by specifying the option spotfix for the quickest fix.

  I stupidly he run from Server Manager by clicking with the right button on the volume and selecting the option "repair the file system error.

  It is on a volume of 5.5 to data that is accessed by a large number of users that will start to connect to 6 hours time.

  Managed server showed the repair had obtained 13% after about an hour, but has not changed for some time, so I guess that Server Manager had frozen, so I closed and opened again. I can see the process is still ongoing, but the Server Manager no longer shows a progress bar (just a red bar to show the volume is locked.

  Anyone has an idea how I can get up again the progress bar, or know any way to show the status of the repair running?

  Thank you

• The Group PS6100XS and Hyper-V Server 2012: migration of storage between LUNS corrupts VM

  Well, I'm puzzled! Summer hit my head against this whole week. Basically, ranging from a virtual machine clustered LUN on the Bay EqualLogic corrupts the virtual machine. Here is my configuration:

  1. SAN 1: PS6100XS 6.0.1 firmware, 2 LUNS configured as CSV, 1 as a quorum disk
  2. SAN 2: FreeNAS 8.3.0, 2 LUN (ZFS-formatted, for what it's worth)
  3. Server 1: Dell R310 running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V installed feature. 4 network cards: 2 made team for traffic LAN, 2 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 configured for MPIO.
  4. Server 2: Old box SuperMicro running Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V feature installed. 2 network cards: 1 for LAN traffic, 1 for iSCSI with HIT KIT 4.5 installed
  5. Created and all cluster validation tests passed
  Here's what works:
  1. Ranging from a virtual machine of the LUN if there is no activity on the VHDX
  2. Move a VM all LUN the EqualLogic to any number of unit logic FreeNAS or vice versa
  3. Move a VM between LUNS on the FreeNAS
  4. Move a VM between LUNS on the EqualLogic BEFORE I created the cluster (just using Hyper-V Manager, not the Failover Cluster Manager)

  This is what kills the VM whenever:

  1. Create a virtual machine through the Failover Cluster Manager - is not matter which node owns the storage or the VM - tried all combinations
  2. Take an active virtual machine, power and move a LUN EqualLogic to another EqualLogic LUN. The move signals the success, but the VM blue screen at the end of the move will and will no longer be able to start. It's basically fried.

  BTW, I tried also to disable one of the iSCSI NIC on the R310 - what does not help either. Any ideas? I have a case goes with the support of Dell EqualLogic, but so far they have been puzzled. Anyone got something like this works yet?

  OK, after Dell tried about 5 different times to tell me that my setup was not supported (actually claimed that EPA software was not supported!) I finally got someone who gave me workaround: disabling ODX by changing the key "reg" HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\FilterSupportedFeaturesMode from 0 to 1. This "fix", but it also takes one of the most interesting features of the 2012 Server + EqualLogic: ODX!

• How to configure the VM of Windows Server 2012 to use a replacement storage adapter

  Hello

  I want to install Win Server 2012 assessment on the 11.0.0 Workstation assessment. But there is a problem:

  

  And according to this article:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2059549

  It seems that I need to configure to use a replacement storage adapter. But I can't find a relative configuration on my workstation.

  Best regards

  A download cannot certainly be corrupted, even if it seems normal... The only way to be sure is to compare the size of the file and checksum of the file MD5 or SHA1 against those reported on the download site.

  If you have verified the integrity of the file on the source and it still does not work, please send the file vmware.log of the directory of the virtual machine as an attachment and I'll take a look.  To attach a file, look for the Browse... button when you compose your answer... it'll be just above the key Message Post - please do not copy - paste in a response.

  I am about to install Microsoft SQL server on my server Windows 2012 R2 2014.

  The network consists of three offices of construction, all connected through VPN tunnels.

  There is only one server in each office, all promoted domain controllers servers. (Two servers running Windows 2012 R2 server Std, the first domain controller is running on the Windows 2008 R2 server).

  The installation allows me to have single login in one of the networks of site and access my storage server.

  I have some difficulty during the installation of Microsoft SQL server 2014. It seems that the service will not start.

  I install SQL server by using the domain administrator, such as the local administrator account is deleted due to the promoted feature of DC. Facilities is made from the server that will have the SQL service running.

  Best practices or the settings before installation very appreciated.

• New TS140 - cannot get Windows Server 2012 demo of R2 to install

  Hello

  I recently bought the TS140 and attempted to install the demo of Windows Server 2012 available from Microsoft.  I completed the following steps:

  (1) engraved an image ISO for the demo on a DVD.

  (2) load on startup the thinkserver DVD format the disk, download updates and prepare the installation.

  (3) at the end, I put the DVD in the drive.

  Despite the DVD being burned successfully, the guard TS140 eject the DVD and asking for the disc.  Issues related to the:

  -Someone installed via the demo and can give advice on the process?

  -Is the DVD of the right way to go or should I go with another method as a USB?

  Sorry, I'm use to the insertion of a DVD and occurring start installation.  Try to install after the initial drive of Lenovo is causing me some confusion.

  Thanks for your help!

  First of all, thanks to all for their persistence I managed to do the work.

  Basically, if you download the ISO of the evaluation version, YOU cannot USE the native Windows ISO burner.  When I copied on a drive and had Windows burn, it just don't understand the disc.  However, when I used the Windows store software specially set up the server:

  http://wudt.codeplex.com/

  He worked very simply.  I am extreme newbie, so it was difficult.  If you have purchased a TS140 and try Windows Server, follow these steps:

  (1) copy eval on the Microsoft site.  They have like 10 files to download, but you only need one ISO.  I don't know how the other files.

  (2) use the ISO burner of the Microsoft store - its registered for use with Windows 7 but worked like a charm.

  (3) use the boot (ThinkServer Easystart) disc that comes with your server, or as a recommended download the most recent copy.

  4) go through the steps.

  (5) when you are prompted, insert the new drive of Windows Server R2 2012.

  (6) it must go through the installation.

  Once again, thank you for not giving up, and I hope that my instructions about help an absolute beginner.  Probably simple for experts from the server, but I've never used Windows Server (other than Windows Home Server which was awesome, but abandoned!)

• Implement the deployment of Machine virtual Windows Server 2012 with a data Bit Locker encryption?

  Hi all

  Is it possible to implement the feature data Bit Locker encryption on my Virtual Machine to Windows Server 2012 Std on the Platform VMware ESXi 5.1 vSphere update 1 ?

  The hypervisor is currently running on servers HP Blade BL 460 c G8 . Read well the hardware specification: http://h18001.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14208_na/14208_na.pdf I see that he has taken a TPM installed on the blade, but I don't know how to make sure that it is activated or used by the Virtual Machine?

  Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  I had a few goes at it and it's not like you can virtualize a TPM. It would make sense if it was the case - the secure TPM was not designed to manage multiple instances of the OS.

  I ended up making USB passthrough on a USB stick and have the Bitlocker key stored on this stick as a demo. Certainly not a transaction supported, but it showed that the storage of key seems to be the only issue.

• Help me to confirm THAT RAID 5 of my new server is configured correctly. PowerEdge T620, server 2012

  I just received my new Dell T620 server today, I ordered it with (4) 2 hard drives in a RAID5 configuration to

  I also configured it with a 80 GB operating system partition when I bought it.

  He got today and I'm a little confused how his watch hard drives.

  I have the 80 GB OS Partition, shows that the c volume which is good.

  Then, I have four other volumes...

  D: 1.8 to DataPart2
  E: 1.8 to DataPart3
  F: 57.9 GB DataPart4
  G: 1.72TB DataPart1

  I know that I can go in 2012 under file and storage server parameters and joining them in a Storage Pool and it must show a letter then, correct?

  But, is this the way I need to do this? And how can I confirm that RAID5 is working, so that if one disk fails someday, I can swap just outside like I should be able to.

  I just thought that if I ordered the server with 4 disks in a RAID5 configuration and make a 80 GB OS partition, said that when I had the server I have a volume for the operating system and the other to the data.

  OK... explanation:

  • Each RAID array/virtual disk that is managed by the RAID controller is presented as another "drive" Windows.
  • Windows cannot use a 'disc' greater than 2 TB, unless it is a GPT disk.
  • Windows cannot START on a GPT disk, except if it is installed on a UEFI system.

  By not checking a UEFI/GPT option, it would have been necessary to create virtual disks (at least the boot VD) less than 2 TB so that Windows can use and starts to him (why they did additional smaller VD, I'm not sure).

  At this point, you have four options:

  1) live with it as is (I personally wouldn't).

  (2) will not require reinstalling:

  • Use the 1.8 TB VD0 because the OS 'drive '.
  • Delete 1,2,3 VD
  • Create a large 3.7 GB VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition as necessary or desired separate data

  (3), it will have to reinstall:

  • Removal of all VD
  • The switch in the UEFI boot mode
  • Set up a big 6 TB VD0
  • Reinstall Windows on it and partition as needed or desired.

  (4), it will have to reinstall or backup/restore:

  • Removal of all VD
  • Leave the startup mode in the BIOS
  • Set up a small 80 GB VD0 to which you will install the operating system
  • Set up a large VD1
  • Convert to GPT, and use it as a 'disc' that you can partition separate data as needed or desired.

• ProLiant DL320e with Windows Server 2012 Bluescreen

  Hello

  I installed Windows Server R2 with smart supply a Proliant DL320e Server 2012 R2 and it bluescreens much. The blue screen message is a pretty no description "KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE".

  I installed a second Proliant DL320e server and it shows the same behavior, so I conclude that this isn't a defective hardware.
  
  I found some knowledge which mentions screens blue and with the driver for Smart Array
  http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/content-webapp/document?docid=emr_na-c03793656 & DTD = default & local = d...
  But the update and version numbers do not match.

  Drivers, software and firmware for the HP DL320e Gen8 ProLinat Server Page did not all downloads for my OS-, but it displays a warning that it is experiencing problems.

  I tried to fill in the HP Support Assistant, but I got an email in response, telling me that they are currently unable to help with e-Mail support.

  The servers are offline on a clients site in a restricted environment so that they lack updates online.
  
  During this time, I downloaded the SPP Service Pack for Windows Server
  FTP://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib2/software1/CD-generic/p652182553/v84427/SPPMDSLWIN2013090.2013_0830.7.i... and today, I'll try if it corrects the blue screens.
  
  Does anyone have pointers?

  Take care

  Thank you, I have not found this forum. If an admin could move it which would be best.

  Just in case anyone else has this problem is this question:

  I contacted HP by telephone support and the solution is:

  Do not use smart supply when you configure your server, it is not supported and it will be randomly bluescreen with Windows Server R2 2012. You must install windows directly, so take your storage driver and copy it to a usb key and load the driver during the installation of windows. In my case I needed to use the mass storage drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2 from http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?sp4ts.oid=5293151 & spf_p.tpst = swdMain & spf_p.prp_swdMain=wsrp-navigationalState%3Didx%253D%257CswItem%253DMTX_9b5424c852a54e49b501e280e5%257CswEnvOID%253D4064%257CitemLocale%253D%257CswLang%253D%257Cmode%253D%257Caction%253DdriverDocument & javax.portlet.begCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken & javax.portlet.endCacheTok = com.vignette.cachetoken

  Hello

  I don't know about or write about me, that it moves if necessary.
  So here's my problem.

  I just bought a laptop with the windows installation 8, but I want to install Windows Server 2012.
  I boot on my dvd, everything's fine, and then I click on install and then he told me that the key was invalid.
  But I do not enter a key.

  When I reinstall windows 8 I give no key and it did not in the property and after he told me that windows is activated.

  I don't understand the key or it will scan?
  I have how little he turns to me key?

  Thanks in advance

  Sorry, but I m confused.

  If you have purchased the license Windows Server 2012, then you have also a serial key.
  You must use this key for activation.

  Victory 8 regarding:
  I guess Win 8 was preinstalled.
  In this case, you will need to create a recovery disk before you install another system?
  You don't have any disk Win 8 because there was a possibility to create a recovery disk and the recovery disk contains a 8 win which is enabled.
