Virtual disk 1 gradient

I have a Dell server that has 6 disks in Raid 1 3 bays. A drive has been replaced and came as "Foreign" so I followed the process to clean it, and now it shows "Ready". I need to add back into the Raid 1 mirror for virtual disk 1 as but it won't allow me. I chose the system-> Storage-> virtual disks in OMSA. For the second virtual disk (which is showing degraded) I've selected Assign/Unassign Dedicated Hot Spare, then run but I get a message that reads:

Storage management shows only disks that can be used as a hot spare. There are at present no discs that are available, large enough, or the correct type to use as a hot spare for this virtual disk

The disks are the same with the same product ID etc. I would jump just the drive and return as a test, but it's in a data center so I will try to use remote tools to solve the problem.

RichRaymont,

When you go to the page of the physical disks, is there a difference in the indicated for both drives? Also check if the controller firmware is current and up to date, I ask that this can be caused by firmware update. Finally, you have the opportunity to rebuild the disk in the bottom of the fall?

Let me know what you see.

    Hello, GalaxyTechService.

    It is perhaps not as complicated as it may seem, in fact. There is a wizard that you can use to return the disk to the raid set. Right-click the affected virtual disk and select 'Replace physical disk' and use the wizard that opens.

    In the upper area will be "missing disks", and in the lower field will be options available to replace them.

    Then just follow the steps.

  • How to install Firefox 7 on a virtual disk in Windows 7?

    Firefox automatically installs in my program files and won't let me change that. I have a permanent virtual disk. I think that Firefox would go faster if I installed it on the ram disk.

    That will probably not noticeable different because Firefox loads the files of program in memory after loading and the profile folder with all the personal data is located elsewhere.

    It is usually written causing the more delays, especially if anti-virus software checks each entry.

  • new Pavilion dv5 laptop Virtual Disk Service restarts every minute

    New journal of events system dv5 - 1007ca is filled with entries saying the virtual disk Service stops, restarts 1 minute later, stops after 2 seconds, then resumes at new 1 minute later.   4 inputs each minute.

    I went back to the store and found the same thing is happening on all the dv5 on screen, as well as HP tx tablets.

    The deactivation of the service is not a solution because then you can't get in the Disk Manager, more I do not know what else.

    Everyone has noticed this?   or can suggest how to stop this behavior?

    Looks like it's all new dv5, not just mine.

  • How can I remove a virtual disk partition?

    Well, basically, I was using the program - Ramdisk, and it takes little memory your just RAM and transforms a partition you can store things in, or use it as a hard drive. But, now, I think he's using for many and I would remove it. I used 400 MB of ram, so now it is used. I went to computer management, went to the partition and delete the volume. Now, he says: 5 - base 400 MB drive online, but on the side, where it shows the volume actually score or what ever, it says 400 MB not allocated.

    So now I have 400 MB of ram m unallocated, and I'm trying to find a way to get it back in my ram used! Any help would be greatly please

    You would need to reverse the process used to create the virtual disk - uninstall the software used to create, or reverse the settings that you have invoked in Windows to create, as the case may be.  Just delete the disk partition RAM does not remove it from memory.

  • Reference Dell HDS - recommended VMware virtual disk - drives provided - basic and dynamic thin and thick.

    Can someone point me to the literature on best practices for guest disc formats?

    I know all the Compellent thin-provisions. However, in VMware 5.5, when you set up a virtual disk in the comments you have several choices:

    • Lazy provisioned to zero thickness
    • Eager provisioned to zero thickness
    • Provision of thin

    And then, at the level of the OS, you have the choice of:

    • Base
    • Dynamics

    I would like a pointer to the technical document explaining the advantages/disadvantages of each choice and recommended best practices.

    Kind regards

    Kath

    I would like to either thin or thick lazy to zero.  The two will take the same amount of data on the HDS.  The main decision is where you want to manage your storage space?  If dilute you on thin you need to make sure that you make no provision in both places.  If you have thick lazy to zero, then you can only on commissioning on one side.

    Say that I always thin on thin.  Recovery of the space at the level of the virtual computer is not officially supported immediately, but maybe someday.

    In a virtualized environment, always keep it simple.  There is no dynamic performance with virtualization

  • Virtual disk expansion

    I've added four new hard drives at 8 on my ax100 and configured ' DISK POOL 1, include 11 records. A drive is configured as a hot spare. Then, I have expanded the "Virtual Disk 1' to include all the"POOL1 DISC' again. I was expecting the SAN will appear as a 6 to drive in Win2003. However, it proved that I need to format the 4 additional disks and set up as a new partition. I need a shared 6 to disk, not two separate 4TB and shared 2 TB drives. I plugged a different server in the same San using the switch, but it also shows the SAN as two separate partitions.

    Is there an operation that is not destructive to consolidate all readers, both old and newly added, in a huge partition/drive and see it as such in Win2003? It would be difficult to make two backups one 6 to SAN, destroy the virtual disk, recreate a large drive virtual and end of restoration. Help, please. Thank you.

    -J' tried MDSM from versions of resource disc, 4, 5 and 6 - no change.

    -J' removed and added the table several times.

  • MD3000 cannot change virtual disk ownership / preffered path - ERROR 29

    Current configuration

    We have created multiple LUNS on the storage array and noticed that traffice all happening through a RAID controller or another module (and it seems to me not change without prompting when you look at the storage Bay). I turned off a two different virtual machines to try to change the path and had an error with a certain delay - I stuck this error below. I also tried to redistribute virtual disks tab the MDSM software nothing works support.

    By reading, it seems that the LUN should be attributed to a particular raid controller before all I / 0, but I still feel like're missing us something as to why we cannot distribute the traffic properly.

    According to some records for a MD3200 -.

    "If the host has a path of data unique to the MD, the virtual disk storage array.
    must be owned by the controller to which the host is connected.
    That's what we're trying to accomplish. I don't know if the hosts are to be physically detached from the SAN, or if there is a bit of software to fail us.

    Hello MrRedPants,

    Since you are using a configuration not redundant you will have problems trying to modify the paths between the controllers since the two hosts have only a single connection to the MD3000.  What you could do if possible is to get 2 more SAS cables & connect ports second on the MD to RAID opposite that the host is currently connected to.

    Now, if this isn't an option so that you can make is to have 2 disk groups and assign the virtual disks / LUNS that are connected to each host in their own disk group.  If you go to each host their own groups of disks, then you will need to stop the e/s as you move the Ramdisk to the new group of disks so that you want to discard any data loss.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Re-create a virtual disk (RAID 1) of two existing drives

    After several power outages, my server Dell PowerEdge T110 ii starts plu. The virtual disk (RAID 1) has disappeared, but the two physical disks are still visible and a State of readiness.

    Is it possible to create a virtual disk Raid1 of two existing disk which was composed the original virtual disk without losing any data?

    If this is not possible, is there a way to recover the data (image) and re - create a new virtual disk?

  • initializing virtual disks

    I have a powervault MD1000 (Bay raid storage) connected to a backup server. It is set up with 3 virtual drives that each use 2 terabytes of storage in RAID 5 from our range of 8 physical disks.

    I had to replace two of the physical drives, and I need to initialize my virtual disks. In the Perc 6/E management screen VD, I can select the virtual disks (that show in red) and press F2 to display the operations, but the initialization button is dimmed and I can't select it. In the PD management screen, the new drives show as ready.

    How do I initialize my virtual drives? Should I delete them and create new virtual disks? It's my first time doing this, so please bear with me. Any help would be appreciated.

    I just updated the firmware of the 6th Perc to version 6.3.3 - 0002, which has a rep to support Dell recommended that I do, if this is useful.

    After you remove virtual drives, I was able to create a new virtual disk and initialize it. It seems that I just have to build the virtual disks from scratch.

    Thank you for your time.
