An you have a 3-drive RAID-1 setup via OS X Server software?

Hello,
I'm adding 2 more 1TB drives to my xserve (for a total of 3 x 1TB drives) — is it possible to set up RAID-1 using all three drives? Or, is it limited to only 2 drives?
This will be done via OS X Server software (disk utilities), not a hardware based RAID controller).
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristin,
Raid 1 only works with 2 Drives. For using all three drives you would want to have a Raid 5 System. Apple does not support Raid 5 in Software, so you would need an additional Apple Hardware Raid Card. This way, you could use Raid 5 with all three drives.

  • IDE Annoyance-Please Read if you have 2 Optical Drives

    Does anyone else with a multiple IDE optical Drive set up have this problem?  Can you verify this using a blank CD?
    I have 2 optical drives; A Plextor PX-708A and a MSI CR52-M.  Whichever Drive is connected to IDE 1 will not read/recognize a blank disc.  When a blank disc is inserted, and the drive icon double clicked in Windows Explorer, I get a “:\ is not accessible:  Incorrect function” message box.  This error follows the IDE 1 connector on the mother board.  In other words, I can move this error to the MSI or the Plextor drive depending on the IDE slot it is plugged in to.
    On the Other hand the drive on IDE 1will always read/recognize a disc with data on it (as will IDE 2, along with recognizing a blank disk.)
     I have tried the following with no success.
    [list=1]
    In BIOS having the PCI BusMaster both enabled and disabled
    Every permutation and combination of master/slave relationship
    Trying single IDE cables
    Dual IDE cable in both IDE 1 and slot 2 (The error is still there on the second drive)
    Re-installing the OD BIOS on the MSI drive using Live Update
    Re-connecting cables
    New cables
    Checking for bent pins on the IDE 1 slot
    Trying both the blue side of the cable and the black side of the cable connected to the motherboard
    [/list=1]
    I’m out of ideas.  Any help would be appreciated.

    BAS,
    I have the Drives Connected to different IDE ports and the problem follows IDE1 (whatever drive is connected to IDE1 has the problem.  However if both drives are connected to either IDE1 or IDE2 one of the two drives has the problem.
    Thinking that it was the combinations of drives I tried the same thing with an old NEC drive I had.  Same problem...   Very strange

  • Do you have to be logged into test agent via remote desktop for tests to run

    Hi 
    I have some coded UI tests now working and they successfully run in my test agent. However they don't run if you don't have remote desktop open and you are not logged into the test agent itself with the desktop active.
    Error was:
    Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop.  This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
    Any ideas how to get round this?
    Kind regards
    Rob

    Hi Rob,
    >>Automation engine is unable to playback the test because it is not able to interact with the desktop.  This could happen if the computer running the test is locked or it’s remote session window is minimized.
    This is by Design as for Playback an Active session is needed as in coded UI tests we do actual Mouse and Keyboard actions.
    Like Vishnu's suggestion in this blog:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vishnus_blog/archive/2013/05/05/coded-ui-test-not-able-to-interact-with-the-desktop.aspx
    For the UI tests, the active desktop session has to be opened. We have faced this issue and we have couple of solutions
    1. Open a Hyper-V session onto the machine where the UI Tests are running. You can minimize the hyper-V window and the tests will still run fine.
    2. If you are running tests in a Lab Environment created from Microsoft Test Manager, Run the tests and open LEViewer[Lab Environment Viewer] to keep the desktop session active.
    3. Enable AutoLogon on the machine where the tests are running and restart the machine. Then you don't need to do remote desktop -

  • If you replace raid controller of hardware raid do you have to rebuild raid from beginning or not?

    hi,
    I like to know if the raid controller is damaged and you replace it with a  raid card in a PCI slot .do you have to rebuild the raid from begin if it is hardware raid ?
    the same  question I ask for software raid ? this question is for raid 0,1,5,6,ect.
    if you have to rebuild  from begin then it means if you don't have good back-up then the data is gone!
    thanks

    Hello,
    Enterprise controllers will read the metadata of the array, as it's stored on the disks, and recognize the configuration. Then you and you can choose to 'mount' it or create
    a new array.
    But, I suggest you to go to the manufacturer of the controller and get detailed information for scenarios like that.
    For software raid, the only experience I have is that Windows can recognize a set of drives when they are configured as Dynamic Disks.

  • How do you replace a hard drive on a xserve raid

    I am running an old xserve (10.3.9) I need to replace one hard drive in my raid set. I have a new hard drive exactly the same as the one I am replacing. Do I have to do anything in raid admin (version 1.2) or once I insert the new hard drive will it just start working and the other drives will start talking and writing data to it? Thanks for any help!

    Hi
    Slightly confused about what it is you actually have?
    Do you mean an XServe like this one here:
    http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=XServe&num=10&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1433&bih=856&tbm= isch&tbnid=VXlw7-KP6nEsaM:&imgrefurl=http://inertz.org/2008/01/xserve-an-impress ive-multitude-of-potential-used-server/&docid=HT9gRAJQrNrS8M&imgurl=http://inert z.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/xserveg5.jpg&w=600&h=361&ei=9YPQUI6dLeX-4QTwloC 4Dw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=639&sig=102214044775849835144&page=1&tbnh=144&tbnw=242&st art=0&ndsp=35&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:124&tx=152&ty=81
    You can't/don't use RAID Admin on an XServe.
    Or do you mean an XServe RAID like this one here:
    http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=XServe&num=10&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1433&bih=856&tbm= isch&tbnid=-wl73CtlayTBlM:&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Xserve_RA ID.jpg&docid=9pxrypAvxoLK-M&imgurl=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons /0/06/Xserve_RAID.jpg&w=1296&h=416&ei=9YPQUI6dLeX-4QTwloC4Dw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx= 709&vpy=345&dur=119&hovh=127&hovw=397&tx=170&ty=57&sig=102214044775849835144&pag e=1&tbnh=81&tbnw=252&start=0&ndsp=35&ved=1t:429,r:11,s:0,i:148
    If it's the above simply remove the drive module and assuming you have a replacement drive module and drive, insert the new drive module. If you only have the drive, release the plastic moulding at the foot of the removed drive module, release the screws, remove the drive and reverse the process to install the new drive. Insert the module and the rebuild should happen immediately and you can use it normally while all this is happening. Depending on how much data you have stored on the unit, performance loss should be minimal. I would monitor the progress using RAID Admin.
    As ever try and make sure you have a full and effective back-up handy just in case.
    If it's an XServe you're going to have to provide more information as what you do will depend a little on how the RAID set was created.
    HTH?

  • Looking for a Hard Drive RAID System for 17" MacBook Pro, any Suggestions?

    I purchased my 17" MacBook Pro in Nov. 09 and it does have an ExpressCard/34 slot. What I am looking to do, is purchase a 4TB Caldigit VR External Hard Drive and put it on RAID 0. I Love the performance fact, but I don't feel too safe, because if that drives go down, there goes my data. So what I want to do is use Carbon Copy Cloner and find another External Hard Drive that will backup my Caldigit VR, since it will be RAID 0. Any Suggestions would help out very much! I am using this RAID System to store my HD Video using Final Cut Pro Studio. I know I can set up the Caldigit VR as a RAID 1, but I would rather set it up as a RAID 0 and have another hard drive back the data up. Let me know if you have set up a RAID System for your MacBook Pro and what you did. Also what express cards do you recommend?
    Thank you,
    Chad

    There is a difference technically between this iStorage unit and the Cal Digit stuff. Cal Digit includes a hardware raid controller, and removable drives. The iStorage Pro unit relies on your computer's CPU to control the raid... so will tax things like render times... plus just to play a software raid can take as much as 30% of your CPU's cycles to do it...
    That said, it may not matter if you're working in lower resolution files, or lower data rate stuff, either company makes great gear though. Both are intended for use with video systems. But ya do get something for the extra money on the CalDigit gear.
    But if all you want to use it for is backup of data... anybody's drives would do this... doesn't have to be a raid either. Single FW drives will certainly hold the data as backup even if they won't play it without dropping frames.

  • Confirming I have right NVidia Driver

    Hello all!
    Basically I am playing World of Warcraft and having low FPS rates in raids (on low setting, 8GB of ram, 2.8ghz quad-core amd), while I know it could just be wine's fault I figured I would want to make sure I have the correct driver installed and working. I have an NVidia GTX 460. I looked at the NVidia wiki page and wasn't 100% on which one i should use. I am using dual monitors if that will make a difference. I don't believe that it's just the card not being able to handle it because I've used it with Windows(7 and 8) and had no issues with high settings (medium on some).
    I am not 100% on what info you need but here is some that I think might be useful:
    # pacman -Ss nvidia
    extra/libvdpau 0.6-1 [installed]
    Nvidia VDPAU library

    If there is anything in wine I should do please feel free to let me know.
    Thank you for your time.

    You are using the correct driver for your (nvidia) card. I have the same card in one of my machines.
    I am not a trans-gamer, but have you consulted various wiki's on the internet regarding wine + WoW???  (even Archwiki has an entry, although it appears to be out of date)...
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/World_of_Warcraft
    http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p … n&iId=1922  (pick whatever version you are using, read instructions / comments / etc)
    off-hand are you using directx (slower) or OpenGL (faster) in Wine?
    There is also rgl for Wow: http://www.aewi.info/rgl/
    which apparently brings substantial FPS improvements, which you could try out too.
    ..anyway, to answer your question, yeah - it looks like you have the right driver.
    but i would also read up on tweaks, hacks and patches for Wine/WoW and the like  - if you want the best performance / settings for the game.

  • I already have a hard drive connected to my airport extreme, and ws wondering if i could use it as a network storage device

    I already have a hard drive connected to my airport extreme, and ws wondering if i could use it as a network storage device. If so would I have to format it with two partitions , one for time machine and the other for network storage. Aprreciate any advice

    If you have the hard drive connected to the AirPort Extreme....it is a network storage device.
    One issue that you may want to think about is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a hard drive at the USB port at the AirPort Extreme.
    In spite of this, some users who try this are able to make it work. Others have some limited success and some have no success.
    It's not supported....so there will be no help from Apple in the event of problems.
    If you decide to proceed with this, make sure that the partition for Time Machine backups is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as other formats will not work with Time Machine.
    Having a secondary backup plan would also be something that you might want to consider.
