Switch the disk in servers without losing content

Hello

Need to change the hardware of server on a couple of servers and wanted to just change disks, and if all goes well he wouldn't be able to start on the new server.
But this isn't the case :(

I took 2 disks (RAID 1) of a UCS B200M3 and put it in a B200M2 UCS, but everything was gone in the disks when I started the server.
There is no policy of scrub applied on any of the servers.

How I did it, was that I've disabled 2 servers, (B200M3 - Windows and B200M2 - ESXi) and separated from Service profile. So I swapped the drives and associated Services profiles again (now: B200M3 - ESXi and B200M2 - Windows)

None of the servers worked when I started again.

If all understand what I tried to do, please help, if there is a way to do this.

Stig

Hi Stig,

The reason why you have lost data from your hard drive in because as you move them between a M2 a M3 blade. These blades do not use the same raid controller, so it is expected that you will lose data. Not only that, as explained in the below installation guide raid migration (go to hard drive installation section) between the blades M1, M2 and M3 is not supported. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Muse site added to the existing WP site without losing content

    I have a WP of GoDaddy site that already contains content. I built an addition on the site, thinking that I would be able to add code to a page on my WP but that did not work. My question is: is it possible to combine a Muse and a WP site without loss of content either? My ultimate goal would be to add the site of Muse for the WP site as a page, so essentially a site within a site.

    WP's not worried about any of this. Any additional HTML content can reside wherever he wants and is dutifully ignored unless it is actively linked within your WP installation and / or use standard functions of the API should actually be extracted. However, it would need some major work, since just enclosing an a Muse HTML in standard WP functions won't work, either. WP has wp_sanitize() and other functions that rewrite and filter the code conforms to the requirements of WP. That being the case, your best option would be to just throw your Muse site in a separate file and link it to the WP sidebar by inserting a custom text widget that contains the absolute URL for the folder and files.

  • If time machine is incremental how it removes previous versions when the disk is full, without breaking the chain, so do not be able to restore all changes since the first full file

    If time machine is incremental how it removes previous versions when the disk is full, without breaking the chain, so do not be able to restore the file with any changes made since the full backup first file...

    If the TM drive storage is full TM automatically deletes the version the oldest files for the new incremental backups can be made. Thus, in this case you cannot restore the versions that TM deleted because it takes more storage.

  • move the Panel between monitors without losing data?

    I read here and here for help.  The best that I can deduct is to call SetSystemAttribute and change the ATTR_DEFAULT_MONITOR value before making a followed LoadPanel of a DisplayPanel.  Then to change the Panel of this monitor to the other, I have to call a DiscardPanel, then repeat the whole process.

    This changed with success my Panel of a second monitor.

    However, as soon as I throw the Panel, all the data control on this special group gets wiped.  So how do you change a monitor Panel to monitor without losing its data?

    According to the help:

    To open the panels on another monitor, call SetSystemAttribute to change the value of ATTR_DEFAULT_MONITOR before calling LoadPanel or DisplayPanel.

    I found is not exactly the case.  Repeat the call of the DisplayPanel just redraws the Panel.  Again, I must first close the Panel.  I tried a HidePanel instead, but it does not work.

    My group, I have a table of data.  I need it to stay resident while lighting the Panel between monitors.  Ideas?

    ElectroLund ha scritto:

    I think I'll just save me every row in the table and populates the table again after reloading of the Panel.

    It might be faster to duplicate control on a hidden side and duplicate and then again on the new main panel.

    (It is not an idea of mine: Luis gave him here)

  • How can I transfer photos from the "iPhoto" to 'Photos' without losing info "date of creation"?

    I decided to transfer all the remaining photos, I have always in an old iPhoto Library in pictures. I was able to 'rebuild' the library within the new version of iPhoto (which still exists on my Mac) and then export all the photos in a folder on a hard drive. However, when I then imported in Photos, they all got a new 'creation date' the exact moment where I imported the - missing information about when they were shot. Is there anything I can do to keep this information in Photos? The problem is that I can't even sort the pictures in "Photos" - under the "Sort" in the "View" menu option, there is only one, gray, option: 'Keep sorted by oldest first' if I look 'Photos' or 'Album' 'All the Photos' in the sidebar. Why are there no more options? (For example, sort by title?) Why is "Photos" so clumsy and unwieldy and paradoxical? Why does he use the same generic name ("Photos") for the app and the real thing, he manages a link in the sidebar? What happened to the Mac user interface intuitive but customizable? Augggghhhh!

    TO migrate from keep everything that you migrate the iPhoto for pictures library by dragging the Photos icon in the dock

    If you export you create them new files with metadata selected although the date of the photos should stay in the fields of EXIF/IPTC - assistance to export from iPHoto see - export to iPhoto

    If the metadata is not correct after exporting it's user error - and if you perform the migration instead of export and import, nothing will change-- How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

    What about sorting in the Photos - all the photos of the user can be sorted by ascending or descending date or by title - see Photos (years/collections/moments) is always sorted by date of the photo with the oldest first and pictures is always sorted by date added

  • Update context-roor without losing the portals

    I have changed the context root in my request XXXXXX to * / * so I can access it without having to type XXXXXX, everything was fine, except that all the portals, desktop computers, portlets, models of office have disappeared... I thought it was because it was not solves the repository, but that was not true, because access to the content of the content about it is even posible... so the question is... is it possible to update the root of context without losing all the portals, desktop, etc?

    Hello Deepak,

    I doubt webapp information would be stored in LDAP, and I agree that the DB information could be updated manually but many problems could arise if she did was not 100% perfectly - and the Web application can be stored in several places in the DB.

    Probably the best option would be NOT to rename your context root, use the Propagation of WLP to create a directory, create a new Web application with the new name (context root) you want, then use the tools of Propagation of WLP to bring all your artifacts portals.

    Kevin

    Additional note:

    Changing the DB manually only is NOT supported; Oracle support is likely to refuse any help if you did manually changes of this magnitude to your database. The Propagation tool is probably the way to go if you need to rename your webapp.

    Hi all.

    I have currently a Dell PowerEdge R710 configured with 4 SAS - 2 10 146 k Seagate 2.5 "drives in a Perc h700 integrated Bay RAID-5. I ordered a SAS-2 10 146 k disk Seagate 2.5 "to add to the Bay RAID-5 storage, making it a 5-disc set. What is the best way to add the drive to the RAID-5 array without losing any data? I have OpenManage Server Admin on the server.

    You can use OMSA... go in storage, PERC, virtual disks and select Reconfigure in the drop-down list of tasks available for your RAID 5.  This will add the disk to your RAID 5, then you will need to adjust the partitions in Windows once it is completed.

  • expand the disk error using the cmdlet set-hard drive

    I connect the vCenter and can run commands very well...

    I use the following commands in the process:

    I have tryied somehow different to specify the disk hard but without success... always get these errors of messages...

    any help, please.

    The cmdlet Set-HDD wants something, such that returned by Get - hard drive to the hard drive setting.

    Easier is to use the pipeline (see also example 1 on the hard disk-Get help).
