Disks not avialable and cannot add new disks to existing pools

I have a few disks that are RAW and I want to add them to existing pools.  However, only 1 disk shows up as a Primordial disk and the others do not.   I cannot add these drives to a new volume and when I try to add any drive to an existing
pool, the add disk option is greyed out.  I have search everywhere to resolve this but no luck.
What is interesting is one of the drives that shows available for a volume is the drive I have associated to backing up the OS on the server itself and is initialized, i.e. not RAW.

Hi,
Please try to run the following commands in PowerShell to obtain the information about disks:
Get-physicaldisk
Get-disk
In additional, the physical disk added to a storage pool must be 4GB or larger. If the space is less 4GB, the disk will not appear in the storage pool window.
For more information, please refer to the thread below:

  • Cannot delete itunes .msi not found and cannot install new one! please help

    Please help me awhile ago i tried deleting then reinstalling th new version of itunes / quick time and after going through most of the installation process this comes up:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below.
    Use source:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Jordan\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\
    I made a picture of it here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
    Then i tried uninstalling it (somehow it says its installed in add or remove programs) and the same message came up.
    After ages of trying to figure it out and deleting heaps of things, when trying to install now it says:
    1.run or cancel (thats not the problem) i click run picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/cannotfindmsi.jpg
    2.then it goes to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
    3. then straight to this picture here:http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa233/djjordie/preparingtoinstall.jpg
    without the the rest of the installation process...
    SO i need to be able to delete it complety (the problem there is the .msi not being found).
    Then install itunes / quick time without the .msi problem or the skipping of the installation process with it saying errors occurred ect...
    Please help it would be much appreciated!

    WHen you get trouble with msi files you usually need the Microsoft Installer cleanup utility.
    Here is a method for removal of iTunes and related programs with clean up and reinstall.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
    (To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install)
    Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    *If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
    When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
    Restart your PC.
    Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
    Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
    If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
    restart your PC
    Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
    If it does, install iTunes.

  • Finder will not open and cannot install new software

    Please help:-  Finder does not open when clicked from the dock - instead the desktop icons disappear and reappear.  If I try to install a downloaded piece of software (e.i. Firefox or Chrome or Silverlight) the same thing happens and the software install simply disappears.
    When I do Verify Disk - it's okay.
    Checking Disk Permissions reveals a number of 'issues' each of which claims to have bene 'modified and will not be repaired' such as -
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/at"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atq"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/atrm"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/login"
    Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/authopen"
    Warning SUID file "usr/bin/newgrp"
    Warning SUID file "System/ry/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent"
    Warning SUID file "usr/libexec/security_authrampoline"
    Plus others ...
    Reparing Disk permissions has no effect.
    This started happening last week and seams to be getting worse - after reboot the problem continues.......

    Guys, thanks for the support and ideas:-
    Moving the /com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop and restarting clearly made a difference.  I then deleted the plist folder on my desktop, however, the problem has slowly returned.
    I did steps 1 & 2 suggested by Linc Davis above and;
    Step 1 - there was no evidence of the errors but with limited test capability as 'my downloads' folder was  empty - so I was unable to attempt an install.  The machine however did seam to run quicker and Folder opened just fine when asked.
    Step 2 - slower in Safe Mode and right-click failed to operate but Finder opened correctly each time.
    After re-start and connecting again my external stuff (HP Printer, TimeMachine HD, Duronic USB hub, HK Speakers - they've been attached from day 1) the problem is completely back as before the deletion of the /com.apple.finder.plist  The desktop goes 'off' (desktop icons disappear) and 'on' (they reappear) without an install being achieved or 'allowed'.
    Verify Disk is okay.  Disk permissions produce the same result as first posted above.  Repair Disk Permissions has same result as before.
    Here's the latest console items since the restart following Step 2 above:-

  • Disk Utility says of USB Drive - "This partition can't be modified" "This disk is not writeable and cannot be partitioned"

    Several months ago I bought a 64GB PNY USB memory stick to transpord data quickly.
    It seemed to work fine.  I could format it as a Mac partition and use it.  I hardly ever need
    it so I just put it away.
    Today I wanted to use it to put a file on and take it to the Kinko's/FedEx to print, and I
    find I cannot mount it on any of my computers, iMac, MacMini or MacBookPro.
    In Disk Utility virtually everything is greyed out.
    Disk Utility says: "This partition can't be modified" "This disk is not writeable and cannot be partitioned"
    If I try to mount it, it says "This disk cannot be mounted"
    There is no physical read-only switch or setting on the disk that I can see and it is very small.
    I has a Mac OS installed on it, so I wonder if that is a problem?  I should be able to write over that
    or reformat it I would think.

    Thanks for these replies. 
    I've got regular time machine backups and just backed up some of my data by copying some key folders to an external drive.  I'm bit paranoid about backup integrity and would ideally like to do another full backup to a different drive using a system other than time machine, in the event that something goes wrong with the time machine backup.  Any recommendations on good and affordable backup software to do a backup of my TM backup?
    One other question: I seem to encounter problems like this pretty frequently.  I'd say once a year or so, my drive fails completely or gets near enough to failing that I have to wipe and restore.  (I've never had a TM backup fail to work, though the last go around there were some hiccups which has led to my backup paranoia.)  I've had this happen on multiple computers, so I'm becoming pretty convinced that the problem lies somewhere in my data.  Is it possible (even likely) that there's something in my data causing this recurring problem?  If so, is there anything I might be able to do to try and pinpoint and address this problem?  I'd love to go one year without having to wipe/restore my machine!
    For a while I thought I just had bad luck.  But I think this is like the 4th or 5th time this has happened in the past 4 years and every time, I'm restoring from a backup, so I come back with the same data.  It's the one constant since I've had 3 different machines over this same time period. 

  • I have a partition on my IMac disk and Windows 7 loaded on one partition.  I tried to open and W7 will not open and cannot repair itself.  Is there a diagnostic/disk repair from Apple that I can try before reloading W7?

    Csound1 What Ive been trying to explain is that I have been running bootcamp, I open the app where the first screen is the introduction, i hit continue, the first time I select "download the latest windows support software fromm Apple" then I return and instead select "Install Windows 7." Then hit continue. The third screen is where I "Create a Partition for Windows" I set Windows to 80 gigs then hit INSTALL. As stated before Bootcamp cannot find the install drivers saying "The installer disc could not be found." My windows software is on a USB drive not a disc, I tried using a virtual disc reader to make it appear that the windows software was running on a disc, still no luck. What I would like to know is how to install windows on bootcamp.

  • I am getting this error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to Firefox home. I have uninstalled add-ons, uninstaleed and reinstalled a fresh new firefox which did not help

    I am getting the following error message, " The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" when I try to go to firefox home. I uninstalled add-ons , uninstalled Firefox and then installed a fresh version. Still have the problem.
    Thanks for the help

    That issue can be caused by a corrupted or incomplete Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS) that is missing some runtime components (Redistributable Packages) that Firefox depends on (problem with an embedded manifest file that specifies a specific runtime version).
    You need to install the missing components (e.g. VisualC++ 2005 Redistrbutable).

  • Add new disk(space) into exist ASM

    Hi Experts,
    We have a oracle 11.1 4 nodes RAC at red hat 5 kinux. we database build as 10.2.04 at ASM with two disk group.
    the original DBA put all space into two diskgroup data+ 300G and FSDISK 1500G.
    Now my boss ask to create second database in this server. But I found there are no canada disk is availuable to build two new diskgroup to support new second database.
    Existing database is running over 2 years. How can we release 500G diskspace as canada disk for ASM from FSDISK group?
    or
    How can we add new disk into ASM?
    We do not have special storage person in small sys/dba team.
    I am looking for help!!
    JIm

    Hi nvengurl ,
    It is nice to get your advice. some sr.DBA told me as" Two instances in the same database can share the disk-group"
    other DBA told me as
    Two different DATABASES cannot (remember, RAC uses a database with multiple instances). So technically you can share a diskgroup between instances, as long as they're in the same database."
    some DBA said as Two separate instances cannot share a diskgroup"
    I am not sure. please oracle expert and oracle company staff to confirm this point.
    If I create two database with exist diskgroup. any performance or maintenance issue
    I am looking for your help!!!

  • "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to."

    Hello.
    I keep getting this "The iPod '...' cannot be synced. The disk is locked and cannot be written to." error when I try to sync my 11 GB of music from my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine to an old iPod Touch 1G (iOS v3.1.3). It has a brand new (lat/new)est iTunes installation too. I tried rebooting the the machine, disconnecting USB cables, etc. None of them helped. I did not have this problem in the end of 2013. Is my iPod Touch 1G dying?
    Thank you in advance.

    I did a reset since I had to restore v3.1.3 firmware and reconfigure from a Mac OS X 10.5.8 MBP before I ran into problems. Isn't that enough? Or do I have to do it again? Also, these were brand new installations and setups for iTunes and iPod Touch 1G. So, I am doing everything from scratch.
    I also found out that iTunes wants full (not read) access to my shared medias in my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. When I gave them full access, then I got farther, but it still failed later on (almost half way since 5 out of 11 GB according to math with disk spaces on both iTunes and iOS v3.1.3?) I didn't use Mac OS X 10.5.8's iTunes (only kept it for whited00r firmware part) for syncing since all my media is on the other machine.

  • My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error that disk cannot be umounted. Please help! Thank you very much.

    My install of maverick failed as disk is damaged and cannot repaired. I tried to erase disk but got error disk cannot be unmounted. Please help. What can i do? Thank you very much.

    First have you got a backup of your data? If not try to get one now while you have some access to the drive. The drive is probably faulty and will need to be replaced, without the backup you risk losing the data.
    Have you a bootable external USB drive with Mavericks on it, if so boot from that and try and repair or erase the drive and reinstall Mavericks.
    If you don't have Mavericks on an external drive,  boot from you Leopard DVD ( I am presumimg your profile is correct) and run Disk Utility from there, you may be able to erase the drive and reload Leopard. You can then install Mavericks. Even if all that works you will most likely need a new drive in the near future.

  • "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."  Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

    Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
    "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
    (Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
    The following also appears in Console log:
    *** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
    Workaround
    Quit Disk Utility.
    From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
    Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
    Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
    iTunes.pkg
    iTunes4.pkg
    You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
    Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
    Quit Disk Utility.
    Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
    Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
    All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

    i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
    You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
    Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
    When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right.

    When we start the internet or navigate to a new page, a new tab opens with the following alert: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." We "x" out of it, but a new tab, with the same alert appears. The problem occurs again when we try to navigate to another web page. A real nuisance. We've scanned the computer but found nothing but Adware cookies.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    This error means that your hard drive is badly corrupt and cannot be repaired by Disk Utility. Since you say you don't have backups, this is very bad news. You may already have lost data irrevocably.
    First order of business needs to be backing up whatever you can, but this may be difficult to do if the machine won't start up any more. See step 1 of the following post:

    Once you have backed up your data, you can address the other issues.
