Add disk failure in solaris11.1(powermanagement??)

Insert a new disk, display "Warning:Device /scsi_vhci/disk@g5000c500423defb3 failed to power up."
run format disktype <unknow> ; Unable to automatically configure or fdisk
Disk info: Seagate 1TB 7.2K SAS
SAS Controller： LSI SAS 9200-8i
Machine:DELL R510
I also found an interesting phenomenon，When the disk is power 5v 0.8A in solaris 11 is no problem；If power is 5v 0.9A display "Warning:Device /scsi_vhci/disk@............ failed to power up
How could you do this? How to solve?

You would need to hold option key or 'c' to boot from Leopard.
A really badly damaged drive can prevent booting from any disk, whether CD/DVD or hard drive, because the system still tries to see if there are other systems out there when it scans the various buses for bootable devices.
You probably need to unplug or pull the old drive to do anything. But you may be able to zero the drive. Partitioning checks the blocks where the partition tables will go, because those blocks can't be remapped later, and some drives fail at that point, but re-partitioning, not just erasing the user partition, is something I do frequently.
Is the 2nd drive bay filled? definitely want to use both drive bays.
Got a FW or other emergency boot drive handy? or small partition on a media drive that has just minimal OS X.
When swapping drives on G5s, NVRAM doesn't always 'learn' or see the new drive properly, so best to zap PRAM/NVRAM or reset nvram to clear the device tree and force it to rescan and recognize new devices (PCI, memory, and hard drives).
I would definitely want a working clone/backup and keep Alsoft Disk Warrior on it to repair and do maintenance of your drives on a regular basis to prevent problems from getting worse.
If you need to recover data, pull the drive and later see if Data Rescue II can see any files. You may need to repair the drive. And Apple First Aid comes up short on disk repairs and doesn't do as many tests and repairs as Disk Warrior.
I always keep a backup spare on hand that I can use if a drive goes out.

Wrong support on hard disk failure?

My iMac had been getting progressively slower (applications would lock up with the spinning wheel for minutes at a time before letting me do anything).
After one such lockup, I hard booted and the iMac didn't come back - just stuck at a grey screen with the spinning wheel.
I rang Apple Support and on a long support call was taken through various checks before the conclusion of hard disk problem was diagnosed. We tried to repair using the disk utility, but that was unsuccessful and given that I had a time machine backup, the advice was to reformat, reload Snow Leopard, re-download and upgrade to Lion and the use Time Machine to restore.
All fine (and I am back up and running now) - but one element of the support advice didn't ring true to me and I ignored it! So I'm asking for opinions on whether I was right to do so.
I was told to use a Time Machine backup from before the slow behaviour started, as by restoring I could restore the disk problem in the files loaded back from the Time Machine backup. This made no sense to me. I had a hard disk failure - sure - and Disk Utility confirmed this. By reformatting the hard disk, I've eliminated the hard disk issue (albeit that having failed once I guess I may get other bad sectors/failures in the future). The files on Time Machine - in whatever state they are in, are just files. By copying them back onto the disk, I can't damage the disk - I may just end up with damaged files. If some of those files were operating system files, then I could end up with problems - but as the operating system was cleanly installed - not from Time Machine - then even this shouldn't be an issue.
Seems to me the only issue I may have is with my own files - restored from TM - if they happened to be on a bad part of the disk and were damaged.
Do you agree? Or am I missing something about being able to create bad areas on a disk by copying bad files?

To add to this - given that I've had no replies, given with perhaps others have faced similar issues without a solutions.
My problem has recurred - the disk failure repeated - again unable to repair the harddisk and having to reformat, reinstall Lion and restore from Time Machine again.
Two points here:
I continue to believe the support information I was given was wrong - and will be talking support again to test this. My harddisk post reformat was fine (disk utility showed no problems), and post restoring from Time Machine the harddisk again was fine. But after a week, the disk has failed again. I don't believe that restoring files can cause this, but think I must have a bad harddisk and that the real answer is to replace the harddisk
I was told (on the original support call) not to use the latest backup - as that might bring back corrupted files that could recreate the disk problem. I ignored this as above as I felt the support was wrong - it making no sense to me that on a good disk, copying bad files could corrupt the disk. However, when you use the migration assistant you do not get an opportunity to choose the date you are copying data from - so there seems to be no way of doing what the support team told me to do - by default I get the very latest backup. Am I missing something?

What is the correct way to restore the catalog after a disk failure?

I am running the latest Itunes on Vista. The disk failed on my old computer and I have a backup of the catalog file. The music files are on external storage (NAS). I've been searching for instructions on how to restore Itunes.
The catalog is about 1 week out of sync with the music files because I added some music in between backups of the catalog file and the disk failure.
In a perfect world, I'd like to restore the catalog with playlists and the album art.
Are there instructions to accomplish this or do I need to rebuild the catalog from the music files and recode my playlists?

Firstly I don’t have a NAS drive so what I say applies to and external HD, but it should be similar.
When you say catalogue file, I guess you mean the iTunes database files – iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml. The xml file is just used to allow other programs access to the library but can be useful because you can rebuild the itl file from it.
If you want your art work, you need a folder in the iTunes folder called Album Artwork.
So ideally you would like to be able to recover your old iTunes folder from backup.
If I understand you correctly, you had all your music on a NAS drive and the library files on your internal drive. Were all the music files/folders located the iTunes Music folder on the NAS drive? I will assume you have, it is much harder to get things working if they were not.
I guess you now have your NAS drive mapped into your new computer so you can see it as a drive letter.
So I hope this will work for you…
With iTunes closed, drag the iTunes folder from it’s current location to your desktop. I think the iTunes folder is in Music in Vista.
Now copy your backup iTunes folder into Music.
Now start iTunes and got to Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General and set the location of your iTunes Music folder to your folder on the NAS drive.
If you can see your music as it was when you did the backup, you can use Add Folder to Library to add the folder containing your music. Don’t worry, this shouldn’t create duplicates but it will add any tracks not currently in your library.
If you don’t have the iTunes folder, the procedure is similar except that instead of dragging the whole iTunes folder out to the desk top, just drag iTunes Library.itl and replace it with the backup. You won’t get your artwork if you just do this.

Detecting Dynamic Disk Failures?

I can't seem to get a clear answer to the following issue.
I've got a few systems in the field that are using Dynamic Disks to offer a RAID one solution, I know it's not the most ideal, since a real hardware RAID would be better. But humor me here.
Is there a way to detect a failure? I've had a few systems that ran into problems and have a failed dynamic disk. It's easy enough to fix, but is there any type of proactive notification that this situation has occurred? Can I somehow see it in the event
logs (I can't seem to find any indicator)?
If anyone has any insights or tips?
Thanks,
Dower

Hi,
As far as I konw, Disk error checking could be run with task scheduler. That's to say, you can add disk error checking to Task Scheduler and specific the checking time and date.
You can refer to the link below for more detail:

Siebel Database disk failure

Dear Members,
We have a major disk failure on our development environment's data base server.
It seems to be, the data base has got corrupted.But our Siebel server is installed on a different machine. I have the backup of the repository .dat file with me.
We do not have the full backup of this DB server as this is a DEV environment. In our Client's Organization, as per policy no DEV environment are included in backup process.
Once our DBA re-install the DB. What all the steps we need to follow to make the environment as earlier.
As per my knowledge, I am planning to do the following things.
1) Create the SBL_DATA and SBL_INDX table spaces.
2) Execute grantusr.sql script.
So after these things, what I need to do.
Please suggest.
Regards
Vamshi

Hi Vamshi,
This is a very serious issue and probably you may try the following approach:
1. Install the Siebel Database and select new database.
2. Once installed add a developer user on the database and execute the grantusr.sql
3. In the database execute an update statement and update all the Object Locked columns and Object Locked By columns with value as 'Y' and developers' row_id respectively.
4. In the Developer's Local DBF file lock all the projects and tell him to do a check-in.
I am not sure whether the above will work well for you as I have tried this only once and that too in a proto environment. Also the developer should be having a reasonably recent DBF.
Please update if this approach works for you.
With Regards,
Tanmay Jain

Toshiba Satellite L650-07U, Hard disk failure and replacement

Hi all,
I have Toshiba Satellite L650-07U Laptop, Model: PSK1EC-0700Q with 4GB RAM, 650GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium installed. At the time of first use, i made Recovery DVDs which took 4 blank DVDs using Recovery media creator.
From 2 weeks it is giving problem, at start its slowdown with every application, then suddenly it started Hard disk failure error and ask to backup important files. From that instant i did all my backup save in another portable Hard drive.
I had hiren boot CD, and ran RAM test and found it OK, and then run Hard Disk test and found few bad sectors at few certain point, As 650GB Hard disk was taking alot time of time for checking bad sectors, so i stopped that application.
First I tried Recovery DVDs to restore Windows, but it failed as Laptop DVD-Writer was unable to boot from those created DVDs (DVDs are OK as had checked it on Desktop computer DVD-ROM), Laptop DVD-Writer is also working as I test few more bootable CDs and it booted perfectly, but it is not booting from Recovery DVDs.
Than i tried to restore from Recovery partition using Factory restore settings, it erases all data and reinstall new and fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for few hours than again pops up Hard Disk Failure message again and again. I searched here in Toshiba Forum and have found similar problem with other members and finally decided that it need to replace Hard Disk with new one. As It is now two and a half month old, thats why i need to buy new Hard Disk for my Laptop.
I checked all partitions of drive using Hiren Boot CD, and had found that there are four default partitions in Toshiba original laptop drive,
One hidden partition of 1.5 GB
One hidden partition of almost 21 GB
One hidden partition of almost 12 GB
One partition of 561 GB, which was the original partition where windows 7 was installed along with all of my Data.
Now I want to replace faulty drive with a new one and have a lot of question in my mind which I need to share with you guys.
At the time of first use I installed Windows 7 64 bit edition, and made Recovery DVDs, and at second time of restore to factory setting I had installed Windows 7 32 bit. I have confusion about recovery DVDs (which is not booting from default DVD-Writer of Laptop), either it has 64 Bit recovery data or 32 bit? Or have both 64 and 32 bit Data.
Toshiba restore to factory setting without using any recovery DVD/USB is the best possible way to restore Windows 7, How can I make same recover hidden partitions from original/faulty hard drives to new hard drive partitions? Is this possible and how?
On Default hard drive there was one partition of 561GB instead of two or more partitions. Is this possible to split partitions in new hard drives instead of one big partition?
As Recovery DVDs are not able to boot from laptop default DVD-Writer, is it possible to open those DVDs on another System and copy tem in USB drive and use it for booting? If it is possible than please show me the steps for making bootable USB from these Recovery DVDs.
Thanks,
masterleous
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Satellite L650-07U (PSK1EC-07U00Q)
This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

Adobe Premiere Elements 12: Add Media Failure: The Importer Reported a Generic Error

I am trying to add a MOV file to PE 12 I and keep recieving and Add Media Failure Error stating "The Importer Reported a Generic Error". I have added other MOV files without any issue so I don't know why some MOV will work and others won't. The only common characteristic I've found is that the MOV files that won't work are files that were recorded with my SLR camera. The location of the files I've added/tried adding are on my external hard drive.

bunzondarun
Try importing a few of the problematic files from a Local Disc C location like Videos and determine if problem presists. How is the external hard drive formatted, NTFS or FAT32?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? And, on what computer operating system is Premiere Elements 12 running? Are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 12 as Run As Administrator and/or from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
What specifically is the video compression for the problematic files? And, what is the brand/model/settings for the camera that is recording these videos?
More later.

IMac 27'' mid 2011 hard disk failure with FileVault 2

Hi,
Recently I had had some troubles with my iMac and everything is pointing out to the hard disk.
2 weeks ago I rebooted the iMac and i lost all my data because of a hard disk failure. The disk just got corrupted according to what i could see. From there, i had a lot of troubles trying to reinstall the last version of OS X (10.8). I indeed formated the disk and i even securely erased it. When I tried to reinstall it from external HD or from a USB key i usually (not always) got error in the final steps of installation. However, if i use the Recovery partition to install from Internet i ain't got no errors.
With OS X already installed, i also tried to encrypt the disk using FileVault 2 and i got an error again. This time, when 2 hours left to finish the encryption. Specifically this error: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4218952?start=0&tstart=0 (Trying to encrypt but it always fails). It seems to be a common error which a lot of people is suffering, but i still don't know if my case is a hardware problem or, on the other hand, a software error.
I carried the iMac to the tech support in my city and they discarded a hardware problem. They gave format to the disk and installed OS X with no problem, so they told me to check if the iMac keep spitting some error or just it has any anomalous behavior. Actually it seems to run fine, no errors yet excepting FileVault 2, which is generating the same error.
I have always used FileVault without any kind problem (in all my macs, including this one), so could it be a Mountain Lion issue?

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "I/O error" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command.
Normally the window will be empty. If you get output like this:
kernel[0] <Debug>: disk0s2: I/O error
the boot drive is failing, or there's some other hardware fault in the storage subsystem.

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation it gives me an input/output error and stops. Any tips?

Hi, I have a hard disk failure so to recover my data I am using disk utility to restore the data on an external drive while booting from a second external hard drive. When I perform the operation and after having selected both my destination and source drives, the operation begins but soon fails due to input/output error. If I try to create an image of the drive it gives me the same error message. Any help would be much appreciated.

Disk Utility only creates a image of the drive, so it's no help getting exactly what you want, which is your files. If the file structure is messed up or the drive is failing then it's no help.
If you have a external boot drive and you can't access the internal non-booting drive though the typical Finder and windows to transfer your files via drag and drop methods, then you need to install Data Rescue on the external boot drive and it will do as best as it can to recover your files. (works on non-encrypted/non-Filevaulted drives only)
.Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
Are you sure you have hard drive failure, or that OS X isn't merely not booting?
Because if the drive is working physically, then there is a host of fixes

Music Files Deleted After Hard Disk Failure and First Sync After Hard Disk

Hi,
I recently had a hard disk failure and lost all of the data on my hard drive. I replaced the hard drive and reinstalled all of the software including iTunes. I am running Windows XP Home. The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes and since iTunes had no music files it deleted all of the music files on my Nano. How do I get them back and why on earth would iTunes do such a stupid thing??? My Nano contained many songs that I bought from iTunes and I want to get them back. I have found some third party software that will undelete the deleted files but it costs $69. I don't feel that I should have to pay to correct a defective feature in iTunes. Does Apple have an undelete utility? Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?

*The first time I plugged my iPod Nano into my computer after the hard drive replacement it synced to iTunes*
When you connected did you get a message that your iPod was linked to another library, and then press Erase and Sync? When an iPod is set to update automatically and you connect to a computer with an empty iTunes and accept the message above it will erase the originals completely (as you have discovered). Also as you've seen, none of the recovery programs are particularly cheap so you have to decide if in your particular circumstances it's worth it to get your songs back. It may be if you have a lot of purchased tracks which you will have to pay to download again. If they came primarily from your CDs then it's most likely not as you can re-rip them.
*Can I redownload the songs that I purchased from iTunes?*
If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service

Satellite A215-S7414 Hard Disk Failure

Hi. I purchased my laptop 16 months ago and this is the third time I have had hard Disk Failure. The first two times were in the first year and I received a new harddrive after sending it in to Depot for repair. Here we are the Third time and now Im outta warranty and apparently outta luck. Here are my many questions, first of all I didnt have the opportunity to back anything up, so if I were to replace the Hdd on my own, does that mean I would also have to purchase a new Vista package? Also, I have a Western Digital External harddrive that Im not using.....would that be of any assistance to me in trying to recover anything from the laptop?
Everyone tells me it is cheaper to just get a new one, but that isnt practical and I dont want to just trash a laptop that is only 16 months old.
Please help
Thank you
Model #PSAFGU0IU002

I'll try to answer the questions you've asked. First, you don't need to buy a new Vista package. You should call Toshiba customer service at (800) 457-7777 and order a set of recovery disks for your notebook. They will want the serial number and a credit card to cover the shipping and handling ($19.95 standard, $24.95 overnight). The recovery disks will restore the system to 'as-shipped' condition with all of the appropriate drivers and utilties. You can purchase a replacement drive reasonably from any number of sources. Replacing the hard drive is straightforward. You would remove the cover from the bottom, slide the drive out and transfer the hard drive 'caddy' to the new drive. Slip it in, boot from the recovery disks and away you go. You could install the old drive in an external USB housing and see if you can recover anything from it. I can't think of a role for your current external drive other than as additional storage.

G72 Hard Disk Failure and Replacement

I have had a HP g72 laptop for just over two years. Within the first year, right before the warranty expired, I had a charging issue that was resolved under warranty. Last year, I began to get warnings on startup that I had an imminent hard disk failure. I backed up most of the important things on my computer and kept using. Finally, it seems that my hard drive has failed for good. I have tried to restart my computer about 10 times and everytime I get the same message: insert boot disk and press any key. I am contemplating replacing the hard drive instead of the whole computer, but I am not sure what I need to do. Also, if this is such a problem, why hasn't HP done anything to fix it. It has been so frustrating with my HP laptops that I am considering going to another company. HELP!

Hard drives fail. That is why backup is so critical. HP does not even make hard drives so I am not sure what they could do to fix the general issue that hard drives are about the most fragile piece of technology that most people encounter.
You can get a replacement hard drive for under $75. This one would be good:

A10 Hard disk failure and replacement - How do I use Recovery Disks?

I have a Satellite Pro A10 which has suffered a hard disk failure. I have replaced the hard disk drive (with a non-toshiba drive) but cannot load the operating sysytem etc from the recovery disks supplied with the computer when new. When starting the computer up with recovery disk No 1 in the CD drive I get the message "Invalid system disk, Replace the disk and then press any key" Any suggestions as to the remedy would be most welcome.

Hello Tony
Please check at first if your new HDD is properly recognized by BIOS. It yes you should prepare the HDD for installation. I recommend you to use some tool and make a partition on new HDD. If you want you can format it before you start the installations procedure.
I am pretty sure that after that the recovery installation can be done successfully.

Hard disk failure imminent

I have a Pavilion 1400-Z desktop. It was purchased last November. I have only had it for 2 months. Now everytime it reboots I get an error message about an imminent hard disk failure. It says in a message after I login that the hard disks reporting failure are volumes C:\,D:\
These are both partitions set up in single 500gb drive that were set up as part of the factory install.
Is there anything that can be done other than replacing this hard drive?
Obviously it is still under warranty. If replacement is the only solution, how do I go about getting the process started. I've barely gotten to use my new computer and it is already failing.
Failing Drive SATAO
Failing Attributer: #05
I am very disappointed that I continue to have hardware problems with factory installed HP components.

Since your computer is still under warranty, your best bet is to contact HP Customer Support and start the troubleshooting / repair process.

Hard disk failure HP G7000 laptop

Hi,
I'm getting hard disk failure on a HP G7000 laptop. The machine boots fine from DVD drive using a Linux boot disk.
Vista installed on machine.
No recovery disk was created when machine was first bought and any disks provided with the machine when bought can't be found.
The Vista licence tag is on the base of the machine so I have a licence key for Vista.
1. What type of hard drive do I buy as replacement? SATA 2.5 inch?
2. Can I use any Microsoft Vista install disk and type in the licence key on the base of the machine?
Thanks
Clive

Hi,
The failure ID will either be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - both would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced. Or incase your unit OOW you can purchase a New Hard drive.
Let us know how it goes!
