• I can't spend S370 because RAID Firrmware update is necessary, but this is not for my RAID card

  Hi guys.

  When I have never upgraded my Ironport Web Security Appliance for AsyncOS 7.7.0 S370 build 761 upgrade, for example, he said thar RAID Firmware update is needed for this, but if I try to update the firmware, the system told me that this is not for my RAID card

  What can I do?

  It is the result of the cli for upgrades:

  Note: A new firmware is required for your RAID controller before you can upgrade to the version selected AsyncOS. This update should be canceled. First please update the firmware by running a new update and selecting "update the RAID controller firmware (for S360/S370/S660/S670 only required restart).

  Please see the release notes on http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10164/prod_release_notes_list.html for more details on the update of the firmware.

  The upgrade of the system has failed. This could be the result of a network interruption or a bigger mistake.  If the problem persists,

  Thank you

  Regarding issue 1: it could be this new firmware is already installed.

  Look at page 3 of the release notes (http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/content_security/RAID _...)

  After running the update of the firmware, the firmware upgrade package appears in the list of available upgrades even after a successful installation. The presence of this package does not indicate a failure of the upgrade.
   
  8
  To verify that the upgrade is running correctly, you can run the upgrade script again after the machine has restarted. If the upgrade was successful, the upgrade script indicates that the device does not require the upgrade
   
  Regarding your second question: the software upgrade:
  -you have an internet connection for update servers (the upstream proxy settings check maybe..)
  -What is your version of the software running (did you check upgrade)? Maybe you should first upgrade to 753 or some other version...
  -Maybe the reboot will solve the problem?

• How to install the driver for a Raid card.

  I hope that this question is of you and yours.

  I have:

  ESXi 4.1 operational on a Dell 1950. He has a basic raid card that works. This is the functioning and VM are stored.

  I installed a 1212 4 Areca Raid port cards. I have attached two Intel SSD's in raid 1.

  My Bios sees both the original and the 1212 raid cards and disks.

  Areca at startup utility says that everything is swell.

  ESXi is unable to see the 1212. I went to the Areca website and downloaded the driver for ESXi 4.X.

  I followed the instructions for all upward using the CLI interface. He begins to apply the patch, but then I thought that a meta.zip file is missing and things are abandoned.

  I went to the site of vmWare and downloaded their solution. Once again using the interface CLI things start to download but then I thought that there was no update occurred or the boot. Nothing to do.

  Here is the link to the drivers of the Areca. The installation instructions are great, but for the meta.zip file.

  FTP://FTP.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/VMware/ESXi_4/

  Any ideas? Thanks for help.

  I had a similar problem with the Areca 1222 (version 8 ports of yours).

  I was able to fix by changing the zip file of Areca. In the folder while offline connection-bundle, you will find some arcmsr ARC - 1.20.00.15.vmk.100202 - offline_bundle - 262812.zip. Inside that zip you will find metadata.zip. Inside of this zip, look for vmware.xml. Modify the file as follows:

  Find the following text:

  You should now be able to install the CLI.

• Suggested for the RAID level configuration

  Hallo,

  I have a server 4core, 16 GB of RAM and 4 SAS 140 GB discks whith fiber channel EMC SAN. What is RAID level suggested for reduncancy and performance?

  RAID 1 + (a single disc advanced to other uses)

  RAID 10 (is really necessary for an ESX configuration?)

  others

  RAID 5 (suggested for VMFS, but not for a simple configuration, ESX)

  RAID 6 (not suggested because that too slow)

  Thank you

  As for local storage (as opposed to the EMC SAN) I'd go with RAID 1 + 0 for optimal performance. If you have an EMC SAN you probably store most of your VMs on the San. Your local storage space will be for your ESX installation and perhaps a data store for testing. Thus, you do not want to go with a RAID that offered high performance and redundancy, even if she does a high-cost disk, because the size is not you primarily on local storage.

  As for your EMC (Clariion AX regardless), you will want to cut LUN based on the needs of performance of your virtual machines.

  LUN RAID 5 for your regular VMS

  LUN RAID 1 + 0 for SQL (Oracle or Microsoft SQL SERVER) or machines virtual Exchange

  Just my two cents on the views of storage vary, and the right answer for you depends on your environment.

• Suggestions of Internal RAID card for config

  Hi people,

  First a brief summary of my hardware that may contribute to the discussion:

  MB: Asus P9X79-E WS

  CPU: Intel Core i7 Extreme 4930 K 3.4 GHz

  SDS OS: Samsung 840 series Pro 256 GB

  Various HD WD Black

  Case: Obsidian 900 d

  I would like to put in place a system of internal Raid that the case has a lot of Bay HD capabilities. MB Raid facilities on board are not too reliable, or so I read, so a PCIe card seems the best bet.

  Can someone please offer advice on what card PCIe is more suitable for this purpose. I would look at Raid 10 with 4 x Sata disks 4TB

• HP Pavilion G60-458DX - Suggestions for the wireless card must be upgraded to 802.11n

  Nice day! I hope that all have a nice time. I have a HP Pavilion G60-458DX running Vista. I want to upgrade the wireless card/adapter to support 802.11n.  I would appreciate suggestions compatible.

  Thank you and enjoy all!

  John B.

  Hi, John:

  Here is the link to the service manual for your laptop.

  http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c02985882.PDF

  Looks like the only available wireless N card's network without WIRE Atheros AR9280 802.11a/g/n map.

  Please see Chapter 3, page 3-7.

  Make sure you get this model with the applicable B21 HP for the country you live.

  For example: If you live in the United States you need part # 482260-001.

  The part is available new from HP for US customers for $63,54.

  My advice would be at the request of the part # on eBay and get a model used but tested this card for a lot cheaper.

  Here is a list of the card used for people living in the US.

  http://www.eBay.com/Sch/i.html?LH_BIN=1&_sacat=0&_FROM=R40&_nkw=482260-001&_sop=15

  No other N Wireless card will work but this one.

  And the card must have the part number HP on it or it won't work.

  You also have a great day!

• Promise FastTrak Tx4660 - Raid card

  Hi all

  I try to install esxi 4.1 with a Raid, FastTrak TX4660 card.  I understand that it is not listed under vmware hcl or hcl whitebox.

  I hope to customize Setup and to include the driver for this raid card.  But I'm not a linux guy and I know it's going to difficult for me but I hope to make it.

  Can someone please guide me on how I can include the driver for Tx4660 in esxi or how I can use this raid with esxi card using a different way to install esxi...

  Thanks in advance.

  Welcome to communities

  I do not think it is a hardware based RAID controller and depends on the software to provide RAID calculations. It would be not supported in ESXi even if you did not have a pilot. If you need RAID then see if you can find a Dell Perc 5 card online. The card is pretty cheap and is supported with ESXi.

• Looking for the number of right-hand side of a built-in raid card of R415 H700

  Hello

  I have a server with a RAID card integrated S300 R415 and I'm looking for:

  Dell PERC H700 integrated RAID controller

  to install in the integrated RAID controller connector. I don't want to use the PCI-E slot card just above a RAID card because I need for Ethernet. I like the 1 GB if possible but I think they devised only integrated map of H700 with 512 MB.

  When I search RAID controller internal Dell PERC H700, I get a lot of results, but could not get an exact match for a server R415. I'm afraid that if I get homesick, she is not right. Please let know us on the H700 onboard correct for a R415.

  Unfortunately, the only card that can go in the built-in storage location is a modular 6ir SAS or a modular S300, which you already have. The SAS 6IR has no cache and only supports raid levels 0 and 1 (no raid 5). To go with a H700, you must remove the current Ethernet card, you have to slot 1.

• Install windows on mac pro (early 2008) in other SSDS with RAID card

  Guys, good evening to all the same time.

  I get out of this crazy short, I ask humbly help.

  I explain my problem:

  I have a Mac Pro (early 2008), with RAID CARD MEDIA

  He does not then I "gave" to my mother who must use windows for work.

  I'm out all 4 disks in RAID installed and mounted 2 - SSD OCZ Agility 256 GB.

  one of them is installed OSX Yosemite. on the other hand, I want to install WINDOWS.

  and here the problems begin:

  When I insert the win8.1 to proceed installation standard dvd (EFI not talked since the beginning of 2008), I get, when I have to decide on which disk to install and format windows, does not reveal the installed drives

  After 2 days of tweaking, I was able to understand that this is a problem due to the RAID card installed, I also read that you just remove it and connect the SSD in one of the two doors empty ODDsata (and not in the 4 planned the raid card slots)

  but still does not see the attached HDD / SSD, so keep trying and I think it's a driver problem and I need to install the AHCI driver, now, I'm pretty Nerd, but I still can't get.

  Someone could want explain step by step what I need to do to install this * win on MacPro 8.1 designed for RAID card?

  Thank you so much in advance.

• Satellite L735-11W: Suggestion for replacement adapter WLan

  I would like suggestions for a network adapter wireless replacement for my model - it currently has an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG, but this does not support the 5 mhz band and does not seem to raise a signal WiFi and my Samsun tab 2

  Any suggestions?

  These updates is not supported and Toshiba does not provide any kind of information on compatibility. Usually if laptop owners are not happy with the internal hardware, solution is always external third party material like PSMCIA or USB solution card.

  Unfortunately I can't help you with this, and you will be very happy if someone here has made these updates, with success, of course.

• RAID 0 for a RAID configuration not "this computer's hardware may not supported booting from this drive.

  I want to install a new HARD drive in a tower of the mine to a friend. It was initially created as a RAID 0 configuration with two 160 GB HDD. The replacement is a single 1 TB of HARD drive. I get the message "this computer's hardware may not supported booting to this disk.» Am I missing an approach from a RAID 0 for a RAID configuration, no?

  Hi RegularPencils,

  I suggest that you check in the basic input/output system (BIOS), if you find an option to disable the RAID. If you find, disable the RAID and try to install Windows vista, check if it helps.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Error message when you try to install Windows Vista on a computer that contains multiple RAW hard disks: "Windows cannot find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation.

• Reviews for dual graphics card system with Pavilion a6130n monitor?

  I am keen to implement a system of double screen with Pavilion a6130n running Windows XP.  I tried to use edge nVidia GeForce with nVidia 2nd card in the expansion slot.  Apparently embedded is not usable with another card in place.  My next thought is to connect two monitors on a nVidia graphics card (using the VGA and DVI ports (with adaptor if necessary)).  Will this work?  Can anyone suggest a suitable video card to accomplish?  Thank you very much!

  No problemo.  Don't forget to remove the video driver on board.  You are looking for a large heat sink if you go with a passively cooled GPU.  The 7200GS runs HOT (80 c) with heat sink base (no fan).  Practically all dual DVI out 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx will support two monitors.
