T610, SAS 6/iR loses readers

I had 2 tables RAID1, OS (Win 2008 R2) and data. I replaced the data with the larger disks, but when I went into the RAID he could see that one of the new disks, in addition to the matrix of the BONE. The reinstallation of the readers and try other machines from the backplane slot he finally saw the two new drives, but after the creation of the new matrix initialization failed and after restart of the controller was not detected NONE of the readers. Once again, after the removal of the disks, I finally found 2 connectors (2 and 3) where the controller detected readers OS original and determined that a RAID1 array, but it has been marked as inactive, and "Turn the table" is greyed out. The only option available is "Delete Array." And yet, it does not detect the 2 new drives.

This means that the SAS 6/iR is dead (it is initialized when during startup) or perhaps a problem with backplane? Or is there something else I can try to get to see all the readers?

Thank you

Dave

Hello Dave

dclaxon
This means that the SAS 6/iR is dead (it is initialized when during startup) or perhaps a problem with backplane?

I suspect one of these components are at fault. Everything worked very well until you added the two new drives. Remove the two new drives and see if the old parts work correctly without installing them.

Faulty or incompatible hard drives can cause problems across the entire RAID. They can disrupt communication with the controller that can affect other drives connected to it.

Thank you

  • PE 2900 Gen1 SCSI SAS 5 / I 3x68GB readers OS swap (not because of drivers)

    Hi I have the above titled plug, Windows server 2003 32-bit standard r2 is installed. Have used it.
    I have the software of data mining that can take advantage of 64-bit and doesn't require any server capabilities. Update CPU/32 GB of ram
    Moving to Windows XP Pro 64-bit.
    Installed, had the sas 5 / i drivers on a USB key. Has gone through the usual, deleted and composed of partition process. XP then begins the long process of loading all its files and restarts the computer.  Once the computer is restarted, it starts only to Windows server 2003 again. All except 1 disc out 3 times and booted from each. Each time you start in 2003. So I realized the sas 5 / i 'RAID' must be backup to all readers (such as a RAID).
    Then I left only 1 HDD in, booted XP, did the format and install again, it has restarted and new Server 2003 starts.
    What's the deal? Never looked in the controller integrated for the parameters to remove discs or to format but it is none of these options.

    Hello

    I guess the http://www.nliteos.com/ tool can help you install WXP using the SAS driver, it will integrate the driver in the operating system, creating a new ISO standard for installation.

  • vSphere 4, win2008r2 and alignment sql2008r2

    Hello group,

    I wanted to check what I read.

    We create a new virtual machine to host a sql server server and I wanted to make sure that I understand what I read.  Is it true that I don't have to do anything about alignment?  The use of vsphere when the vmfs LUNs is created with the VI client will automatically align the FS?

    In addition, new MS Windows 2008R2 operating systems automatically align the guest OS?

    I'm looking to make sure that I have to make the right choices here before you start.

    For the bottom, we have a farmer 3 Server with Dell R710 servers and a Dell MD3000i SAN with 15 SAS 15 K 600gig readers.  The san is divided into 2 groups-8 raid in raid 10 disks and 6 drives in raid 10.  The remaining drive is spare.

    Thanks for your ideas.  Also, if anyone can instruct me on how to confirm the alignment is set correctly it would be appreciated.

    You are right, there is nothing to do about the alignment of drive with Windows 2008 (R2). However, for SQL Server, Microsoft recommends to format the NTFS partition with a unit size 64 k. see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd758814 (SQL.100) .aspx

  • RAID and hard drive

    I am about to install ESX on a HP DL380 4i. I have 6 300 GB hard drives. I won't attach to any SAN.

    I'm trying to figure out how to tap my hard drives to maximize space with fault tolerance. I try to avoid the loss of 2 300 GB drives for my install ESX (RAID 0) and the rest of the disks for storage.

    I thought about using a USB device, but this system will be used by other people, so I wanted something more permanent and also feared that the device USB would be lost so a little do not want to engage in this way.

    Looking for ideas on how I have to configure my hard drives.

    Why lose readers at all?

    6 x 300 GB in a RAID5 configuration = 1500GO.

    Install ESXi, or install it on a USB key.

    And certainly do not use RAID 0.

  • How to upgrade readers in my H200 RAID of larger size and SATA to SAS

    We are upgrading hard drives in our Dell Poweredge T110, equipped with a PERC-H200A and two in RAID 1 TB mirrored SATA drives. We run the Dell T110 of ESXi 5.1 version and a single Windows Server Essentials 2012 VM.

    We want to double our capacity of hard disk and the Support of Dell sold us 2 x 342-1020 (2 TB 7.2 K NL SAS, 6 G, 3.5, CB, CK) readers.

    What is the easiest way to replace the existing SATA disks in the RAID with these new disks in the same configuration and EXSi / VM / OS?

    The controller manages RAID creating the new RAID and copy the data through somehow?
    I add the new disks in a second DiskVolume and build a second (SAS) RAID and then somehow to clone or copy the original (SATA) RAID to the new then pass the boot device to the new (SAS) RAID?

    Thank you

    It is a different scenario than what addresses this thread, but to answer your question: Yes, you can remove a 1 TB SAS drive and replace it with another drive SAS to rebuild.

  • sequential writing very slow use SAS 6/iR (LSI 1068E) and readers of SAS 15 k RPM on ESXi, run fast on a native installation of Win 2008

    Hi gentlemen,

    I'm having a problem on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 (quad core 2.66 ghz, 18 GB of ram) with my SAS drives with a very low write speed. The tests ran inside a virtual Windows XP machine using virtual thick 32 GB drive. I tried a single seagate 15 k RPM 500 GB and got 26 MB s, 2 of them in raid-0 and still got dry 26 MB, then I tried a different SAS 2.5 inch 10 k rpm HP and still got the same s 26MB.

    This controller is a hardware raid, not the best around, but it's good for raid 1 and 0. Then I took off of ESXi machine and installed Windows 2008 re-usable. The disc written now 100 MB s sequentially on disk and using software raid 0 is 145 MB s. I'll configure hardware raid 0 tomorrow on Windows 2008 to check if the writing is a bit better.

    But anyway, there seems to be a huge difference between a virtual machine in ESXi and a native machine running on these drives. I'll install VMware workstation on top of Windows 2008 and run tests with a virtual disk again thick.

    It's very strange that all disks are capped at 26 MB s. The reading speed is also very low in raid 0. I get on Windows 2008 340 s MB, on ESXi I get 200.

    The controller is not write far cache I have now as there is no battery on board. Can use Windows 2008 write cache on hard drives without any kind of system requirements for me? But even with or without write caching, it's so fresh generals to let fall a sequential read 340 to 200 MB on a xeon quad core with 12 MB of cache and SAS controller?

    Thank you!

    You cannot directly compare a stand-alone OS and a virtual one. There is more than just the write cache, but it can make a difference of 10 times in some environments (depending on controller, cache size, number of axes etc.).

    If you search the forums you will find many many similar positions and invariably, the answer is battery and caching module.

  • 'Lost connectivity to storage device' on a SAS controller is installed locally?

    Hello

    I have two HP Proliant DL380 G6 installed with custom HP ESXi 5.5 U2. Both machines have an internal HP SmartArray P410i SAS controller on board, and I've added a second controller P410 that is attached to a secondary drive frame. In the first cage of readers, I have a disk array and in the second, I have a table over a disc other than whole for this test.

    On both machines when I boot the system recognizes both controllers and diskarrays and data warehouses, but after awhile, it loses the connection to the datastore2 which is the table two caged. The individual disc also disappeared, but since there is no data store created on this one it is not reported.

    I got the first started server once and after about 4 days, the second data store has disappeared. After I stopped the machine and started another but it was the same thing. About 4 to 4.5 days and the data store has failed. The only material I have swap between the two machines are the disc itself, everything is installed locally and therefore replaced when I swap server.

    Before I installed ESXi I got the machine to start a Windows Server 2008 R2 with the HP drivers and I have not had any problems for about a week. Because if this, and because the only thing that is used in the two server are the discs I'm tempted to think it's not a hardware problem. (I added the only drive two caged to see if it is the matrix of discs that crashes or all in the cage.)

    After the last restart, I created a few screenshot with all works very well and now I added a few photos more with my discs/data warehouses has failed. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, but maybe someone could give me a clue of which direction, I need to continue the investigation. Any help is appreciated. Thank you very much.

    best regards, Markus

    5.5 U2 contains HPSA.74, which does not work with P410i. Upgrade to HPSA.84 or downgrade to HPSA.60. + updated firmware for something more recent.

  • USB readers of reformatting to insert (intermittent)

    My MacBook Pro since the recent OS X install 10.11.6, now completely reformat my external USB drives when inserting (about 20% of the time). The problem affects WD MyBook 2 TB external drives (x 2), WD MyBook Duo 12 TB NAS, as well as memory cards SD and my digital SLR via a card reader Lexar CF. The problem is intermittent. Sometimes, when I insert the above discs they mount as usual and display the structure of HFS files and any content file, on other occasions, there is a slight delay (about 40 seconds) after inserting a disc, then the drive is mounted as if it were brand new, straight out of the box. the 'hidden' EFI drive mount on the desktop, as well as a now empty and reformatted HFS disk partition. All data on the disks disappeared.

    I tried to run apple on the disks disk utility are deleted. I tried to run "Disk Drill". These utilities simply see the re-formatted and declare that readers have no errors or problems detected. I zapped my PRAM, I ran FSCK, I updated permissions, run all the cron tasks, run "Clean My Mac", emptied all the caches, etc. Even after all of this interview, I've known this same player re-formatting on the insertion of external hard drives.

    I lose the MASSIVE amounts of data when this problem occurs (Luckily most of the data are saved elsewhere however). One of the 2 TB drives was my Time Machine backup, so all the backups in this timeMachine are now lost. The NAS 12 to drive is a server backup, but I'll now have to re - build this backup (which takes days to copy all the data back). Camera memory cards are my biggest concern: my cameras contain each, 2 memory cards whenever I take a hit on the camera, the file is written on two cards: I've recently returned from a shoot day professional, inserted my CF card via a USB card reader only to find he had been "cleared" by the operating system , then I crossed my fingers and inserted the 2nd memory card camera that fortunately does not remove.

    At this point I can't be sure if these disks will be reformatted arbitrarily by the operating system again, because the problem is intermittent and I can't find a way to reproduce the problem (not that I really want to replicate). So I am VERY worried and fear now to connect external drives of any kind to my main computer. I am now back to my MacBook Pro 2006 for any external USB use, like I can't trust my newer Mac totally up-to-date.

    Any help that can be provided would be greatly appreciated!

    I can only speculate what the cause to occur, but a main suspect would be "disk utility" installed by Western Digital. These things have tended to cause spontaneous loss of data you describe. Products may go under the name of "Drive Manager", "SmartWare" or words to that effect. If you installed anything resembling this description, uninstall it according to his instructions.

    The first thing you should so when buying an external hard drive's format using disk utility, thus erasing all unnecessary garbage manufacturer could include with it. For example, Seagate drives also include similar to Western Digital utilities. If I'm not aware of cause them similar problems, their "disk utility" software should also be eliminated with extreme prejudice.

    I tried to run "Disk Drill". These utilities simply see the re-formatted and declare that readers have no errors or problems detected. I zapped my PRAM, I ran FSCK, I updated permissions, run all the cron tasks, run "Clean My Mac", emptied all the caches, etc.

    Stop doing these things. Do not use any what non-Apple "disk utility" regardless of the origin or apparent popularity. "Disk Drill" has been known to delete perfectly good disks. Uninstall 'CleanMyMac' according to his instructions. Like all software 'cleaning up' in the same way by category, it's a scam whose sole purpose is to take your money. Just a Mac unmodified by this ill-conceived garbage clears spontaneously hard drives.

    Leave the cache files and only cron tasks. The permissions are no longer a problem with El Capitan. Don't mess with them. Let your Mac works the way it was designed to work - without the maintenance that you seem to think it requires.

  • USB drive not appearing is not in the T610

    I got a USB standard with some of the files it contains.

    The image that I use on the T610 is the last image (6.1.7601.279)

    In administrator mode, I am able to save and display the files on the USB key. In user mode, the driver installs successfully but I can't display the USB when I click on computers. I don't see the Z disk.

    I searched and found that I can turn on USB storage media or off in the registry. The value of the key is set correctly (3).

    Now I don't have what I can do to get this working.

    Any advice?

    Thanks in advance

    The user account has political explore to lock the profile - including what readers are visible.  In this case, the NoDrives policy is configured to allow only Z:.  Load the user registry hive, NoDrives to include the drive letter of your USB drive and unload the hive for the user.

  • ThinkServer RD650 & 720ix RAID - how to get all the readers don't appear in the TOC?

    Hello

    Just got a RD650 with a 720ix controller. The chassis I have is where it provides a hybrid of disk form factors. Thus, at the front left of the server it first has 6 x 2.5 "bays and then 3 x 3.5" bays, which is the first half of the bottom of basket. Then the rest of the side front of the server and the other half of the background is populated by 6 x 3.5 "bays.

    I have 6 hard drives in total: 2 x 300GB 2.5 "SAS 15 k and 4 x 3 TB 3.5" 7.2 k SAS. However, when I go in storage management in the TLT, the number of disks is only 5 and I don't get the option to include all 4 of my disks 3.5 "in a virtual drive, I get only the possibility to include 3. If the last drive 3.5 "which is located on the right side of the server and backplane is not displayed as being available.

    Now, I know that this controller supports up to 32 disks, so what do I do to get this appears as a disk?

    I'll post a picture here as well, the contours in green are my readers that ARE available, the red box is my a drive 3.5 "which is NOT displayed as being available (all the lights are on and drive seems to operate normally, if I swap this drive for another that I always get just the same 3, 3.5 available instead of all 4 readers).

    I would REALLY appreciate some help with this, I need this appearance of player for RAID10 or this server back!

    Thank you

    LD.

    Yes sorry I meant far earlier, it was a dead drive, I thought since I had checked in the other bays correctly but obviously not.

    This server has only 2 usb ports! Crazy, so if you're flshing a firmware or load a driverbundle or something else in the TOC but USB, you will need to remove the keyboard or the mouse, what genius decided cela? All servers must be at least 3 USB ports, whether or not you are going to run headless finally.

    In addition, ALL 3.5 "4 drive caddies are cracked and broken where the screw fits on the front plastic part metal! This must have been done in the factory AND the hanging screws which holds the raid card down is broken!

    In any case, the initial problem is resolved.

  • Edge of power R710 with MBE2147RC SAS 6 GB/s 146 GB, 15K RPM in a RAID5 configuration replace it with another disc?

    Hello!!

    We have here R710 breaks with the SAS 5 hard drive MBE2147RC model in a RAID5 configuration and we need to buy spare parts, but here they say they only 12Gbps of 300 GB 10 k RPM sas

    My question is that these drives are compatible in a RAID5 configuration to use? or do I need another model?

    For example:

    http://www.xByte.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=CAT_4971_45

    Readers must be certified Dell, but do not buy them from Dell. Many authorized dealers carry Dell readers - their choice is often better and their prices are almost always better than buying directly from Dell.

    As long as readers are certified, so it doesn't matter what brand/model, you get... readers CAN be larger than the original. They CAN be slower (10K / 15K), but this is NOT desirable, because your table will be made according to the specifications of the most slow/smaller disc in the table.
