Adding 7 more drives to Raid and Creating Raid 50

We have 7 x 400 in a RAID 5 for 2.8TB in our XServe Raid. If we add anohter 7 and create another RAID 5 and then a RAID 50, will we lose all the data on the first 7 drives?
Will there be a large speed increase setting up a RAID 50 compared to two raid 5's?
Thanks!

Yes, and Yes.
Yes, you'll lose all the data (unless you back it up first). Creating any RAID 0 array wipes the existing data.
And Yes, you'll get a large speed increase. You'll be doubling your bandwidth to the array (using both fiber channel links rather than just one), and spreading the data across 14 drives instead of just 7 (so there's less latency waiting for the disk to spin to get the data under the read/write head).

Adding fixed cost in production order and creating liability

Dear All,
We are manufacturing one of our grade of material in a plant which we do not own.We pay some fixed charges to the owner of that plant @ Rs150 PMT produced in that plant.This fixed charges is to be included in the production order and at the same time liability for that fixed charges is also to be created so that payment can be made to that vendor.
For charging this expenses to the production order we have created one activity type and one secondary cost element.But with this the liability can not be created.
Please advice how to proceed in this circumstances.
Regards,
Shivaji

hi
I am following this thread...but want to add some views on this..
As I understood from your requirement that you are sending this material to a third party for some conversion with a fixed charge...so you must have a conversion contract with that party. In my views the process should be...
1. Conversion contract with the party (MM)
2. Material will be received from third party with conversion cost at the time of GR (MM)
     Example... Original cost + fixed conv cost = GR value
3. Invoicing ... MIRO ..Party will be credited at fixed conversion cost
4, When the same material is issued to another prod order the GI will be at cost as per sl.2
   Please revert back if you have any question

Adding more drives to my x-Raid

hello,
I'm running out of space on my x-raid, and need to upgrade it asap. right now, there are only 4 x 180GB drives in it. my question is do I have to use the same capacity drives to expand my raid? I'd rather go with a larger hard drives if possible of course, but need to make sure it will be able to handle it.

Ok, as I've been reading more and more, I'm realizing that I know nothing about RAIDs on Apple I've done some on PCs but it was easier Oh MACs
anyway, here's my situation:
I have an x-serve raid with 4x180GB drives in the right side. Not sure why it's built that way, but it is, the way it is. I have only 25 GB of free space left. So I'm trying to figure out my best options. Originally I was thinking of adding 3 more drives 250GB each to the right side, and then merge them together with the main portion of my RAID. However, I'm reading now, there's a change I need to reformat my main slice which is not going to work for me. The type of the file system that I have is MAC OS extended (journaled), which as far I understand means it's HFS+ so I can't add more space on a fly and need to reformat my main slice?
If the answer for that is I do need to reformat, I'd rather start building a new RAID on the left side (say 4x250GB). In this case as far as I understand I'd have 2 standalone raids, which is completely fine, I'm not looking to merge them together, as long as I can use them both for file sharing. So my question is "can I?"
If I can, I guess I'd rather move some stuff from my main RAID to the new one.
Advises, comments are very welcome!

X-Raid question about adding more drives

Hi Guys.
I am running an X Server (10.3.8 dual 2GHZ PPC G5)with an X-Raid attached. Right now it is only half full with a RAID5 volume that is my main file server.
My question is can i add three 500GB drives into the empty slots of my X-Raid and congiure them as another RAID5 volume without killing my current drives setup on the X-Raid?
Thanks for any help.

You can do it hot. The 3 drives you insert will not affect the exiting RAID set in any way whatsoever. The Xserve RAID supports up to 3 RAID sets per RAID controller (each controller handles one "half" of the array -- so 7 drives). What you're doing is very common.
The only thing I say is that you need to be sure you replace the 3 unused "blanks" and don't accidentally eject one of the drives that's already part of a RAID set. This should be pretty obvious as the "live" drives have blue and green lights, and the blanks have none, but other than that, it's a cakewalk.

Adding A New Drive To A Software RAID 5 Array

Edit 3: Just mounted the partitions and I can delete them because they contain nothing special. Is it safe to expand the 2nd partition of each drive to fill up the left over 22 GB?
Edit 2: I just deleted all the partitions off of my new drive and created one partition, then added it to the array and it works just fine. My next question is, can I delete all the smaller partitions and expand /dev/sd[x]2 to reclaim all the space (about 70 GB)?
One of my drives failed and Western Digital sent me a new drive, except it was an external drive instead of an internal drive, so I cracked it open and the label looked different. Turns out it's just refurbished and it's the same model as my other drives (WD Caviar Green 3 TB).
I've read through the wiki article on Software RAID and created the partitions exactly the same as my other drives, but while creating the main 2.7 TB partition it says that the ending sector is out of range when it isn't. I'm new to all this so I have no idea what to do. From what I've read there normally aren't this many partitions per disk, correct? I also have md124, md125 and md126 for the other partitions. md127 is for the 2.7 TB partitions. I took the array out of my Thecus N4520. I have a 3 TB external drive and a 1TB internal, along with another 500 GB drive. Would I be better off at destroying the RAID set and creating a fresh RAID 5 set, considering I'm losing about 90 GB if I don't need the smaller partitions.

Sorry I numbered them to show the flow of information, this was also just a place for me to store info as I worked through it. I managed to get it to work by creating a partition that takes up the whole drive and is actually 22 GB larger than all the other drives (since I found out that the had root, swap and home partitions that are no longer needed).
I should be able to resize the other partitions without a problem, correct? They're EXT4. Should I unmount the raid array and do them individually, remount the array, let it sync and do the next? Or just unmount the array, resize all of them, mount it and let it sync?

Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

How do I use a usb portable drive to let me add or move files and create folders

I have a 256 gb porable smart drive USB and need to move some files to another USB 1 TB drive and create a folder on the 1 TB drive for the data off of the smaller one. When I try to create a folder and using finder it has the new folder grayed out. using Info it tells me that I only have permission to read the drives but they both worked fine on the windows Laptop. I guess I need to learn more about Finder.

I guess you're trying to create the folder on the 1TB drive.
Question: Are you OK initializing that drive on your Mac?
If so, you can use Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities) to do so.

Rikaichan (add-on) doesn't work at my office. It gives this error "Javascript application: the index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers". And then the PC freezes. What should I do?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.17, and have installed Rikaichan 2.02. Once I've installed the Japanese-English dictionary, I then click on Rikaichan to get it started, and it always gives a "Javascript Application" error:
'''"The index for one or more dictionaries needs to be created. This may take a while on slower computers"'''
Rikaichan always works fine on my laptop, but I just can't seem to install it properly at work. Is there some sort of office security screwing it up?

venicespent,
Boot into your Mavericks Recovery partition by hold down the command and R keys whilst booting. You'll see a screen that looks like this:
Click on the Disk Utility item to open Disk Utility. You should see your boot drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've changed it) in the column on the left of the screen. Select your boot partition and click on the "Verify" button. Let your Mac do it's thing - if you get green text telling you that everything seems to be OK, then your disk should not be damaged. If, however, you get red text telling you that the disk needs to be repaired, click on the "Repair" button. If the disk can be repaired, you should be good to go. If the disk cannot be repaired then the drive is damaged.
But before you do anything, make certain that you have backups!!!

Adding two more hard drives

I have a G4 1.42 dual that has two hard drives in the front of the machine already. I've just discovered (ok, so I'm a little slow) that I can add two more hard drives in the back of it. As I added larger capacity drives to the front (250 gig each), I took the original 120's and put them in external cases and just used them as USB drives.
However, I'd like to internalize those two drives now.
I was able to somehow figure it out then, regarding adding a second internal drive (slave/master) and it didn't seem to hard. I'm figuring this is a similar deal, just knowing how to set some kind of jumpers or whatever.
Truth is, though, I'm not for certain how this would work. I'm guessing that I can "chain" in the remaining two HD's as slaves? I took the two externals out of their temporary case and can see the jumper sets, the power cable, and so forth.
What do I need to understand before I just "plug" them into the computer's remaining two bays and fire it up? Any jumper settings? Power limitations?
Is there some kind of setting I have to activate in OS X to make sure it can 'see' them or whatever?
I've just looked over the ribbon cables. I notice there is one slot marked ATA-33 that has a ribbon cable coming from it, sliding kind of underneath and around, appearing to go to the DVD burner. I'm guessing that would be the typical config (without me having to unscrew and chase down the ribbon)?
Sitting just on top of that, is two obvious power plugs plus one unused ribbon cable. The ribbon is sitting, unconnected, with one blue end (to motherboard I would presume) and then two dark grey connectors on the other end of the ribbon cable. Looks like they built it ready to hold more drives.
On the motherboard, just above the ATA 33 slot is an ATA 66 unused slot. Would the HD's that I want to connect simply use the cable to go into 66 slot using the supplied ribbon cables, or would I need to somehow chain them into the 33 slot?
Thanks
Thanks

Hi-
Easy stuff...
Put the two drives in the second carrier, both jumpered Cable Select.
Connect the power to each, and using the ribbon with two free connectors, connect both drives, and then plug that into the ATA/66 connector on the motherboard.
The machine should recognize both disks. In the event that they don't show, initially, check your work, and then reset the PRAM, holding CommandOption+PR while booting, release after the second startup chime.

Slow Boot after added hard drives in RAID 0

Hi,
My Mac Pro used to boot very fast (from Bong to Login screen).
After installing a RAID0, it takes much longer to boot (x5).
When powering on, after the BONG, the grey screen appears and it seems frozen for a while ~30seconds. While grey screen is still on, I can hear the RAID0 hard drives finally waking up and starting to spin (I believe that they are the RAID0 hard drives because I can hear the startup disk just after the BONG). Once the MacOSX splash screen is displayed, everything goes very fast. Progress bar takes <2s to finally display login screen.
I suspect an incompatibility of the hard drives firmware with the Mac Pro even if those are very popular drives.
The Mac Pro is also sometime very slow to shutdown and when it occurs, I can hear the same sound of the drives waking up and starting to spin again.
I have disabled the hard drive sleep option in the power settings.
Here is my configuration. Disk4 has been added after the RAID0 and hasn't changed the issue. Please help.
Disk1: (Startup Disk)
Capacity: 149.05 GB

I am still booting off of the same drive as before I added the RAID so RAID disk doesn't appear in disk control panel but I went there and reselected my initial MacOSX installation folder on Drive0. It seems to have improved things quite a bit. Was it just looking for other boot partitions on all hard drives on startup? I don't know why this setting would have changed when adding drives into the box.
Thanks.

Adding music to more than one slide and not the entire presentation

I love the way Keynote looks and behaves, but it fails to compete with PPT on certain aspects, such as adding the same audio track to more than one slide and NOT have it play for the entire presentation. Using PPT (and I hate PCs!) you can have a track play for "n" number of slides. I'm frustrated that I cannot do this with Keynote! I don't want the track as a soundtrack for the entire presentation. I want to add another audio track to, say, the last two or three slides only and something else for all the other slides. I looked through the user manual, forums, etc. and found that I can only add a soundtrack to the entire thing or a different audio to only one slide.
Question: What if I cut (that last two slides) and paste the the slides as a new Presentation with its own soundtrack, then reincorporate that back and paste it into the original presentation? Will that work or will the original soundtrack take over the entire presentation again?

Anyone remember Claris Works for Mac back in the early 90s? Now, that was a gem! What were they thinking when they got rid of that one (and replaced it with AppleWorks!)?
Good point, but one which Apple has heard a zillion times, and so sadly chosen to ignore. The really heartbroken among us remember AppleWorks from the mid-'80's, the world's first integrated suite, then ClarisWorks, then AppleWorks; and, of course, Beagle Bros. and BeagleWorks. But since we old f*s are dying off, those complaints will eventually stop. +Sic transit gloria mundi.+

Trash the copy of the library you just moved. Then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
But do you want to have two iPhoto Libraries? Why not just use the one on the External?

That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.
