DC/DVD RAID Configuration Tool P/N : 91Y1798

Hello,
I've just received my new TD230. It came up with 2 CD/DVD. One of those contains the
software to configure the onboard RAID.
Bad luck for me this one is corrupt ! I'm trying to find out were to download the ISO image
of it to go on loading linux OS.
I've logged a call on lenovo server support -> no solution
I've mailed to the reseller -> no solution
Could someone give me a hint ?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

welcome to the forum!
you should be able to access the RAID BIOS at startup by pressing ctrl+i or a similar combination.
if you're looking to control it with software instead, the intel matrix storage manager should be what you want. it can be downloaded here from intel.
the latest drivers for your TD230 can be found here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=PD001686

Xserve RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1 not quite working

I have an Xserve RAID that's currently at firmware 1.3.2/1.26a according to Xserve RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1. However, when I try to upgrade the firmware to 1.5.1 via the RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1, it just doesn't do anything--it accepts the .xfb file and then...nothing. Quitting out of the the Admin Tool and restarting still shows the firmware at 1.3.2/1.26a. Same thing if I shut down and restart the Xserve RAID from the RAID Admin tool. Any tips? There's nothing stored on the RAID system yet (the array hasn't even been created--it's a blank system) and nothing is attached to it either (I've just plugged in the ethernet links to format it first before I start attaching an Xserve G5 to it). Also, even though the lower controller is showing green and I have an ethernet cable plugged into it, I can't get any info out of it nor can I configure it with an IP address. Only the top controller seems to allow some configuration such as IP address.

Okay, I've solved the problem.
Basically, the issue was that the lower controller wasn't seated right despite it showing a green light in RAID Admin. When I went to visually inspect it, I noticed that despite what RAID Admin 1.5.1 claimed, its light wasn't even on, let alone green. And since the lower controller handles slots 8-14 of an Xserve RAID and my slots 8-14 are totally unpopulated (empty) at the moment, it was never noticed. Now that I've reseated the lower controller, everything is visually showing green across the board and the firmware upgrade is proceeding as expected and it has upgraded the firmware from 1.3.2/1.26a to 1.5.1/1.5.1c complete with autorestart of both upper and lower controller modules.
Basic lesson learned: RAID Admin lies. If possible, visually inspect the box itself!
Thanks to all who responded.

Best RAID configuration for combining external thunderbolt enclosures?

I'm looking at configuring two external Western Digital Thunderbolt Duo drive enclosures using Disk Utility's software RAID setup tool. Each enclosure houses two 2TB drives. I'm looking to get the performance of RAID 0 striping with the redundancy of RAID 1 mirroring. What I'm not sure of, and I hope someone can shed some light on, is how to combine the RAID sets to achieve my desired goal. As I see it, there are two possible ways to go about this.
The first would be to configure the master RAID set as mirrored, with the individual thunderbolt enclosures configured as striped sets. Example:
The second approach would be to configure the master RAID set as striped, with the individual thunderbolt enclosures configured as mirrored set. Example:
Can anyone tell me which is the better way to go about this? Are there advantages/disadvantages to either approach? Thanks for any insight you might have!

Start here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
see the heading Nested (hybrid) RAID
The issue with striped RAID is that loss of one drive is devastating. Lose one drive and you lose it ALL.
They advocate you make a striped set of Mirrored drives. One failure and you're fine, as long as you don't have another failure before you fix it.
NB> RAID is not Backup -- you still need a backup.

Are the Mac Mini Servers setup in a Raid configuration?

Are the new mini servers set up in a raid configuration?

Out of the box the mini comes without Raid. You have two identical HDs of 500Gb.
I have just set it up as Raid1. You can't do this when you use the startup disk from the mini. And as you don't have a Superdrive ... you need to be creative. You need another Mac with Firewire.
Step 1: Start the Mini in Target Mode. Press the T during start. In a few seconds the firewire logo will appear on your screen.
Step 2: Go to your second Mac. Connect the firewire cable between second Mac and Mini.
Step 3: On the second Mac start the disc utility. The two identical drives on your mini will show. Create a new Raid set (mirrored = Raid 1). Include both drives. Confirm the warning that all data on the mini will be lost.
Step 4: Make sure your second Mac has CD/ DVD sharing option installed. This is tou use the superdrive to install OS X Server on the mini.
Step 5: Shutdown both Macs
Step 6: Start your second Mac in target mode. Make sure the firewire cable is still connected.
Step 7: Start the Mini with the option key pressed.
Step 8: Insert the OS X Server install disc in your second Mac.
Step 9: wait till the drive logo apears om the Mini. Continue the install. Will take about an hour.
Good luck

X4500 Thumper and RAID configuration

Hi,
Scenario:
Suppose I have an X4500 running with Solaris and ZFS . I configured RAID5 configuration with the ZFS tools. The RAID is working fine, but after x months/years I need to make a new Solaris installation from scratch on the X4500 machine.
Will my ZFS data located in the RAID be in danger?
In a hardware based RAID, the meta-data for the RAID configuration and rebuilding it is done regardless of the OS running above it. It is done by the RAID controller.
However, in X4500 with Solaris+ZFS - the OS itself is managing the RAID configuration. So...? What will happen to the data if the OS fails or needs to be reinstalled?
Thanks,
Itay.

By RAID5 I assume you mean RAID-Z which is the ZFS replacement for RAID-5. If you actually mean SVM RAID-5 with ZFS on top of that, I don't think there is a way to get the data. But with ZFS, the state is actually stored within the pool, so it is system-independent. If you intend to upgrade, first run zpool export, do the install, then do zpool import (it will scan your disks for any pools). If your system crashes, you should be able to do a zpool import -f (which will force import a non-exported zpool).

PT8 Neo SATA Raid Configuration Utility

I recently upgraded my system which was running a AMD athlon 1.2GHZ processor and only 128mb SDRAM. The system was stable and running windows XP home edition.
I upgraded to the PT8 Neo motherboard which supports SATA hard drives. I was expecting a dramatic increase when I upgraded my system to the new P4 800mhz FSB 3.0GB processor and 512MB DDR 400mhz ram.
I was still using my WD 60GB EIDE Hard Drive when I upgraded the Motherboard, Ram, & Processor. The upgrade went smoothly and system worked without glitches.
Unsatisfied with the increase in performance, I also purchased a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000 RPM hard drive using the SATA interface cable.
I have updated the bios of the motherboard and updated the driver for the SATA raid controller using Live Bios Update 3.
I am having 2 problems:
Problem 1. When I enter the bios for the SATA Raid configuration utility after the initial post by pressing , none of the selections are available. I move my arrows down but nothing highlights and I can't select anything in the configuration utility except ESC key to exit.
The SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS.
The initial SATA Raid Configuration displayed immediately after the post, does show the hard drive.
I want to be able to boot from the new WD Raptor Hard Drive and transfer all the existing files from the IDE Drive to the SATA drive, but I can't seem to get the drive to initialize, format, fdisk, etc.
Problem 2. Windows XP doesn't have enough resources available to activate the VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller in Device Manager. It shows a Yellow ! and returns a code 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use). I have tried disabling several items in the bios including LAN support, On board Sound but nothing seems to work.
Keep in mind, I have downloaded the latest bios, latest drivers, etc.
The rest of the components on my machine are as follows:
1. Custom Built Computer (Non-Branded)
2. 60GB Western Digital 7200 RPM IDE Hard Drive on IDE0 (Master)
3. DVD Rom on IDE0 (Slave)
4. MSI 52x32x52x CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
5. Zip 100 IDE Drive (Slave)
6. Floppy Drive
7. Pentium 4 3.0GZ 800mhz FSB
8. 512mb DDR 400mhz Memory
9. ATI All-In-Wonder PCI Video Card
10. SIIG Firewire controller
I have already tried removing the SIIG firewire controller thinking that it was getting in the way of available resources. That did not work.
I have invested alot of money on this system, I wanted the best and have always used MSI motherboards because of their stability and reliability.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks

first off you are only using one SATA so no option are avalible in Raid Bios
in order to install windows the safe way detach your 60ata hrad drive plug in the raptor and install windows then Press F6 at the begining the you will have to the SATA diskett in the floppy drive in stall SATA windows drivers continue with install.
once you are fished Windows, drivers then shut down and plug in your ATA hard drive turn on your PC enter the bios navagate to the Advanceed BIOS Features/Boot Sequency selected your SATA raid drive as First boot then CD roms as second. then your done boot in to windows

Is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

is there a way to run a external ssd with my mid 2011 iMac hdd in a raid configuration and basically have a fusion drive

A Fusion Drive is not a RAID; it's a CoreStorage logical volume group. While it's technically possible to do as you suggest, there would be little or no benefit from it.

Cost of SATA HDs ordered with S10? RAID configuration cost?

I'm considering buying an S10. I notice there is a charge for setting up the RAID configuration.
Is that just a "service charge"? I can change the RAID configuration later if I need to do so correct?
Also I note that a 500Gb 7200 RPM SATA drive lists at $205. At NewEgg for example the 500Gb 7200RPM units rated at 3Gb/s transfer speed are $60 - $90 each depending on details (cache size etc...). Am I missing something that causes the ones shipped with the system to be so much more expensive?
Thanks,
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

mounting brackets will be included in the S10. there will be blank, plastic "dummy" drives installed in any unpopulated drive bay to help with air velocity. attached to these dummy drives will be the drive caddies that you need to install a drive.
RAID 5 requires all five drives to be the same or larger than the smallest drive size in the array. if you install a 1TB drive into a RAID 5 array comprised of three 500GB drives then only 500GB of the 1TB drive will be used. otherwise, there wouldn't be any redundancy on the second half of the 1TB drive. hopefully that explanation makes sense.

VM Server installer does not recognize RAID configuration in Intel ESRT2

Hello,
I'm having a big issue here trying to deploy my third Oracle VM Server.
I have:
- A Intel Server Board S3420GPLC
- A Intel Xeon X3440 processor
- 16GB DDR3 ECC Memory
- Six 1TB Hard Drives
What I'm trying to do:
- Create a RAID array using Intel ESRT2 (Embedded Server RAID Technology II) using all the discs (done)
- Install Oracle VM Server into the array
- Install some VMs....
The problems:
- When I boot the VM Server installer from USB stick I got an error saying that there is not enought memory. This issue is solved by typing "linux mem=15GB"
- I got a screen per disk warning me about that the discs need to be initialized and all the data will be lost
- When I go to the disk partitioning screen all the disks are listed separated, the installer simply don't recognize the RAID configured before.
What I already tryied:
- Change the RAID controller from ESRT2 to Intel Matrix
-> Didn't solve.
- Create a Driver Disk with the disk images supplied by Intel here
-> I launch the installer using "linux mem=15GB noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2 ....". When Im asked by the installer to load the drivers it doesn't recognize the disk, so i couldn't load the drivers.
Now, the questions:
- Is there another driver I can use do make the vm server installer recognize the RAId configured?
- Is there a better way to setup this server, considering that it needs to be "self contanied" (store and run vms)?
Edited by: xyp on 14/10/2010 11:37

So...
- I have installed VM Server into ordinary linux partitions on the first disk.
- I have created a big partition in the first disc with the space not used for the VM Server
- I have created five equal partitions on the other discs
- I have configured software raid 10 using mdadm
Now the problem seems to be solved, i have a storage repository with almost 3TB and can deploy my VMs.
Unfortunatelly only my windows 2008 r2 hardware virtualized vm is working, the linux paravitualized guests not. but this new issue will be a subject for another topic.

Oracle 8i Configuration Tools Fails on Install

I found problems on the Oracle 8i Installation, on my Windows XP Desktop (SP1). I've selected the Minimal Installation, and all goes on. When they reach the Configuration Tools Section of Setup...

Raid Configuration MCS 7845 (best practice)

I'm wondering what is the best practice for RAID configuration. Looking for examples of a 4 disk and 6 disk setups. Also, which drives to pull when breaking the mirror.
Is it possible to have a RAID 1+0 for 4/6 drives and have the mirroring set so that you would pull the top or bottom drives on a MCS 7835/7845?
I'm also confused that using the SmartStart Array Configuration I seem to be able to create one logical drive using raid 1+0 with only having 2 drives, how is that possible?
And links to dirrections would be appreicated.

ICM 7.0, CVP 4.x, CCM 4.2.3, unity, and the collaboration server 5.0 and e-mail manager options for ICM.
But to keep it simple let's look at a Roger set-up.
Sorry for the delayed response.

Mac Pro RAID configuration advice needed to address photography workflow

I am a semi-professional photographer and I am moving off a Windows machine and over to a Mac Pro.
I am waiting for the new Mac Pro to arrive and have purchased (4) 500GB SATA drives to replace the 250GB drive the system will arrive with.
I am considering setting up drive #1 as a stand alone boot drive. The second and third drives would be set up in a RAID 0 config and the 4th drive set up as a RAID 1 drive which would mirror the content on my RAID 0 set of drives to automatically backup the content on drives 2 & 3.
I think it would be beneficial if I describe my image processing workflow briefly so that you can understand why I am considering this RAID configuration (I've never set up a RAID configuration in the past so this is all new to me).
Image Processing Workflow
It isn't uncommon for me to return from a photo shoot with an 8GB Compact Flash card full (approx 750 8mb RAW files).
1) I plan on uploading my card to the boot drive (#1) where I would hold them temporarily.
2) I would sort thru the images and trash 80% immediately in most cases.
3) Next I would open up the "keepers" and do the initial post processing in Adobe RAW and save them to drives 2 & 3 (the RAID 0 set).
4) Further post processing (the heavy lifting and the most taxing operations in Photoshop and associated filters) would take place as I access these files from the RAID 0 set of drives.
5) All of my files would be mirrored to drive 4 as I work them. Once post-processing is complete I would copy the files from drive #4 (RAID 1)to an additional external 500GB drive for archiving purposes and then eventually delete the files from drive #1 and the RAID 0 set.
6) Once drive #4 (and the external drive) is nearly filled I would pull both and archive them and replace both with fresh drives.
Is there anything wrong with taking this approach? Can a single drive be set up in a RAID 1 configuration to mirror a set of drives in a RAID 0 configuration?
Is there anything else I should be considering?
Thanks for any assistance you guys can provide! I appreciate it!!

For the purposes of 500GB drives in RAID, I would go with WD RE2. they format to 465GB and performance falls off @ 65% and beyond anyway.
I even "short-stroke" drives to just 60% and then stay within 1/3 full - if I want to insure the maximum I/O.
Memory: 4GB is pretty much minimum but using more than 8GB isn't efficient. Ideal: 4 x 2GB.
Shame that the Hitachi 1TB drive costs over $399 for now, fast and might be better than 10K Raptor. There are also 750GB drives for $249, but the RE2 isn't quite ready to ship.
Never want to get into using 75% or more usually, though large (8-20 drives) RAIDs can hold sustained I/O for video editing and multiple streams.
One 750GB or 1TB (930GB formatted, 800GB "usable") might make sense.
How about a SATA drive case w/ hot-swap. Think of 1TB "floppy" if you will :-)) Unlimited archiving of projects.
All you want is an inexpensive eSATA 1x 2-channel PM controller and any cases. Two drives that you can use drive trays as needed.
there are also 'spare' drive sleds if you want to have the option of popping a drive out, and use it internally. $29 each or $49 a pair.

Vista 64-bit can or does work quite well now on Mac Pro... if you ever get into a jam and just need to. SP1 by end of the year will even have more support for UEFI 2.0 (Apple uses Intel EFI 1.1).

I addition to running less concurrent processes or installing more RAM as Kappy mentioned.
I also see that you have less than 10% of free space left on your HDD.
Disk Information: ?
ST3500418AS disk0 : (500.11 GB)
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Verified

Which is fairly low and forcing it to work on the slowest part of the HDDs platter.
