Disks not seen in C200 server

I have just been trying to solve this issue but with no success.
I have a C200 server with 4 x SATA 7.2k 250 disks in there, the problem is whatever I try the server just doesn’t seem to see the disks.
In the basic boot up screen I should get this below showing the raid software kicking in and detecting the drives.
From the manual showing how it should be
However I just get the first two lines showing that the raid software is starting up but then a message saying no hard disks found, just the port 5 DVD drive.
Also if I go into the BIOS and have a look at the list of devices in the SATA config it shows all ports as blank except for the DVD drive.
This is a fresh out of the box server is there anything I need to do to make the server pick up the hard drives? From what I can see it should just do it automatically on boot up?

Yeah all seems to be in place all the disks light up, If I go in the CIMC and look in the inventory it shows that there are 4 disks in there as present, if I pull out 2 disks it shows them as absent so i know the server is physically seeing them and powering them up.....just nothing else seems to acknowledge them.

Hi,
Do you mean that USB drives to and mounted VHDs all cannot be formatte? If so, please first check if the disks can work on another computer.
If it can work properly on another computer, please refer to the the similar thread to troubleshoot the issue:

External disk not seen after sleep on Yosemite

My sleep/wake issue on Yosemite affects the external disk (USB 3 connection) and the printer (HP 8600 all-in-one): On wake, after a long sleep, my iMac late 2012 shows an error message saying that the disk was not properly ejected and, in fact, the disk icon disappears from the desktop. The printer issue is even worse: no longer seen by the system after a long sleep but also right after a print, i.e.the next print won't start because the system no longer "sees" it.
About the printer, I originally thought it could be a driver issue but now that I see a similar problem occurring on the disk, I start thinking the driver could be only part of the problem.
Most of times, a restart fixes the problem but this is very annoying.

WD 1TB ExternaL Hard Disk not seen on desktop/finder

I have been using WD 1TB external USB hard disk for 4 months with my Macbook with Tiger 10.4 on it. I have plugged in the disk after I purchased without any special formatting or anything, and it worked fine so far. It just took a while, about few minutes, for the Macbook to show it on the desktop every time I got it disconnected and connected again. However, this time, I can not see the disk on the desktop nor on the Finder no matter what. I have plugged it in and out several times, I have restarted the machine etc. Nothing works. The disk is quite empty and it works fine with the PC..no cable problem or and disk failure issue for sure. I can see the disk on the Disk Utility app, but I can neither verify nor mount it...Any suggestions would be very helpful..thanks in advance

Unfortuanately WD external HD's have a pretty bad reputation with Macs. It has something to do with their enclosures as their internal HD's seem to work just fine. I would recommend exchanging that drive for one with a higher quality enclose. Just about any other manufacturer would be fine however the 3 best IMHO are:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
Lacie Quadra d2 series
G-Tech G-Drive series
All have similar features and build quality. I would be comfortable using any of the three but I've been successfully been using the Lacie's for 3+ years.

RAID disk not seen from WInPE boot

Dear all,
We have a system with 3ware raid controler card configure as RAID1.
We are trying to build a standard Windows server 2008 image that can be installed in any System, by providing a system dependant unattend.xml file.
As a test first I have generate an unattend.xml file using WAIK. Then I have generate a WinPe boot disk.
When generating the WinPE boot disk, I have follow this procedure in order to add to WinPE boot my Raid controler driver:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2349-guide-adding-drivers-to-a-custom-winpe-30/
The problem I have when booting from WinPe and listing volumes from DISKPART is that I cannot see my Disk mounted as RAID 1.
Any idea what can be wrong ?
regards
serge
Your knowledge is enhanced by that of others.

Hi Serge,
Can you please post how did you resolve the issue? I am having similar issue here & I am unable to see the Disk Drives in WinPE 3.0. I have 2 3TB Hard Disk Drives connected & it needs Intel RAID drivers to load to see the drives in DISKPART "List
Disk" command. I used drvload.exe & it shows success but actually it didn't load the drivers & I am unable to see the drives.
But interestingly I am able to load the RAID drivers manually in Windows 7 Setup screen.
Please help me to load the drivers in WinPE.
Thanks,

Error msg: Sending of password for user did not succeed. Mail server responded: Not enough disk space - what's the deal?

I've been checking my email via webmail for a week and am back in the office today. Fired up Thunderbird, expecting it to pick up all my email, but it gets nothing and tells me…
Sending of password for user [email protected] did not succeed. Mail server pop.ipower.com responded: Not enough disk space
Haven't seen this particular error message come up in searches via google and at mozilla. There's definitely disk space on my machine. I'm running TB on a Mac (OSX 10.6.8). Disk Space options under Preferences > Advanced let me assign up to 1024 mb for the cache, which I've done, and cleared.
Has anyone encountered this before? Got a solve/troubleshooting process? Thanks!

Thanks. I do compact regularly (TB prompts me to) and did it (several times) via Preferences today to try and get TB past this error message.
Also went thru and Trashed + Empty Trashed as many messages as possible from the inbox, just in case. Still no-go.

New internal hard drive not seen in disk utility

Hi
I replaced my hard drive with a western digital black edition but when I use it as an internal it is not seen by the disk utility.
I have installed and booked from the new drive using USB so it doesn't seem faulty.
When I use the old drive as an internal it works so I don't know what's going wrong.
I have had a look at similar problems but nothing I have tried has helped.

It may be the internal connecting cable that is the problem. If you can install the new HDD in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP, then see if you recognize it using the OSX installation disk. If so, the internal connector should be replaced.
Ciao.

Disks Not Displayed in Server Manager 2012 After Upgrade

I have two identical IBM x3650 M3 servers with the M5014 RAID controller installed. The internal SAS drives are configured with three RAID 5 logical drives, basically a C:, D:, and E:. They also have an external eSATA drive with a Silicon Image eSATA
card installed that is used for backup. Both servers were upgraded from Server 2008R2 to 2012R2. Both of the server's firmware was updated prior to the upgrade and are using the same versions.
On the first server, all of the RAID controller's logical drives are displayed under Server Manger > File and Storage Services > Volumes > Disks. All of the volumes on these drives and the eSATA drive are displayed correctly under Server
Manger > File and Storage Services > Volumes.
On the second server, all of the volumes correctly displayed under Server Manger > File and Storage Services > Volumes. However, only the first logical drive is displayed under Server Manger > File and Storage Services > Volumes
> Disks. The other two logical drives are not displayed. The drives show up correctly under Disk Management and Device Manager. All of the data and shares are accessable and the server functions like it did before the upgrade. While it doesn't seem
critical at the moment, I would like to find out why the logical drives are not being displayed.

Hi,
Did you have a failover cluster with a highly available storage solution that uses LSI MegaRAID controllers and use Server Manager to manage the storage using the LSI SMI-S storage provider? If so, the associated physical disks may not appear correctly in Server
Manager when you create storage pools or virtual disks from the storage pools.
To work around this issue, run the following Windows PowerShell cmdlet on all nodes, and then refresh the Server Manager UI:
Update-StorageProviderCache –DiscoveryLevel Full

Folders added to USB disk connected to EA6700 not seen by Panasonic TV

Hello,
I have a Seagate 1.5TB USB ST315005EXA101-RK connected to EA6700.
The USB disk contains two folders with pictures, and they are fully visible in the Panasonic TV.
Today I added some other folders to the USB disk, but they are not seen in the Panasonic TV.
Shall I remove .tmp & cache folders in the USB disk in order to let EA6700 show all folders in the TV ?

Sorry for not replying to this forum earlier. I have been busy with other tasks.
I disconnected the USB disk from EA6700, and connected it to my PC.
Then I removed .tmp and cache folders, and connected the disk back to EA6700.
Now I see all pictures on TV,
The lesson from this problem is to reconnect the disk to PC and remove .tmp & cache folders.

Hot Swap disk not being seen on h8-1360t uless attached when first booted - Windows 7 64bit OS

I have used one of the internal SATA connections to create an eSATA connection. The disk I an using externally is seen correctly when turned on at boot time. It is not seen if the disk is added after the machine has been already started.
I have ACHI enabled in the BIOS and the insalled driver is the, 'Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controler' , version 12.6.0.1033.
What might I be missing to get the disk to be seen when connected after the machine has been runing for awhile?
This disk is seen corrected on another machine runing Windows 7 32bit - the only difference I can see between these machines is the wokring one is 32bit Windows 7 and the failing one is 64bit Windows 7.
Thanks

Hi,
Your PC according to the HP specifications is not full UEFI (perhaps partial) but I don't believe that is your issue. You need to be running a version 8 or 80 BIOS level to be full UEFI.
Did you reboot after installing the latest version of 12.9?
Do you know what SATA level the drive and housing supports?
You might nuc'ing the hard drive and reformat it. Save any data before doing so. Open ou the RUN window (admin) and enter the following commands:
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk x ----> x is the target drive
clean
exit
Now go into Disk Management and format the hard drive MBR and assign a drive letter.
There is one last thing to check. See the below image. All of the SATA ports by default should be AVAILABLE and not marked HIDDEN. You need to boot into the BIOS (Computer Setup).
Additionally, go into the Control Panel --> Folder options and look at the following settings.
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD
HP Photosmart Premium C309G, HP Photosmart 6520

Is there a way to avoid having a content library on a site server when the Distribution Point role is not installed on that server (disk cost issue)?

Hello,
I don't think it is possible, but my goal is to start a discussion about content libraries and maybe suggest something for a future release or version of Configuration Manager.
Actually, based on Configuration Manager Technet documentation, Configuration Manager creates a content library on each site server and on each distribution point.
Often, when designing the architecture, people will offload the distribution point role from the site server to an external server (and add the role to other servers too for redundancy). They could also do the same for the Management Point role, but this
is not related to content library. The idea is to save the site server from having to deal with clients for software distribution (applications, software updates, OS, etc.), this is especially true for organizations having a large number of clients and/or
primary site servers involved in a hierarchy. Doing so will allow more resources on the site server to deal with the database and also replication in the case of a hierarchy.
When doing that, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server and the thing is this library will usually become huge, especially for organizations having more than 1000 applications (add also OS images to this). Will the content library
on the site server become as huge as the one for a distribution point having a copy of all content? I guess the answer is yes.
I know that Pull distribution points will help offloading the task from the site server to distribute content to distribution points, but, correct me if I'm wrong, you still have to maintain a content library on the site server when using them, and they
will not make the content library smaller on the site server. Also, I don't like the fact that you lose the rate limits feature with Pull DPs, but this is another story.
Storage cost is high and in this scenario, it hurts to have to pay this cost for a content library not used by the clients, but only to distribute content to DPs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the key component here is Distribution Manager on the site server; this is the one which has to maintain a content library to do its job.
It would be nice if we could have a way to elect a specific distribution point (not on the site server) as the Distribution Manager for a site, that main DP would hold a copy of all content by default, but would be used to distribute content to other DPs
and avoid the content library on the site server. Said differently, the Distribution Manager component would become a site system role that could be transferred outside the site server.
Tnx for comments, answers or suggestions.
Patrick

There is no way to avoid that the contentlib will be placed on the site server.
I don‘t agree that storage cost is high. It might be true for fast storage, but that‘s not needed for it.

Backup disk not available - Time Machine

I have an external disk attached to my Airport Extreme through a usb hub and also my printer. Since the upgrade to Yosemite I get constant warnings from TimeMachine "Backup Disk Not Available". In order to make backups I use to

Here is the normal set of changes I tell people to make .. but Yosemite is poor and none of these individually or collectively may help.. sorry.. the issue is directly caused by Apple and until they give a proper fix you are going to be doing jiggery pokery and a lot of hoping for the best.
A factory reset of the TC is the start.. it is required so you can find it again.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Setup the TC again.
ie Start from a factory reset. No files are lost on the hard disk doing this.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg TCgen5 and TCwifi for basestation and wireless respectively.
Even better if the issue is more wireless use TC24ghz and TC5ghz with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense. But this can be tried in the second round.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the TC always takes the same IP address.. you will need to do this on the main router using dhcp reservation.. or a bit more complex setup using static IP in the TC. But this is important.. having IP drift all over the place when Yosemite cannot remember its own name for 5 min after a reboot makes for poor networking. If the TC is main router it will not be an issue.
4. Check your share name on the computer is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. but this change will mess up your TM backup.. so be prepared to do a new full backup. Sorry.. keep this one for second round if you want to avoid a new backup.
5. Mount the TC disk in the computer manually.
In Finder, Go, Connect to server from the top menu,
Type in SMB://192.168.0.254 (or whatever the TC ip is which you have now made static. As a router by default it is 10.0.1.1 and I encourage people to stick with that unless you know what you are doing).
You can use name.. SMB://TCgen5.local where you replace TCgen5 with your TC name.. local is the default domain of the TC and doesn't change.
However names are not so easy as IP address.. nor as reliable. At least not in Yosemite they aren't. The domain can also be an issue if you are not plugged or wireless directly to the TC.
6. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.
You might need to do some more work on the laptop itself. eg Reset the PRAM.. has helped some people. Clean install of the OS is also helpful if you upgrade installed.
Tell us how you go.

Hi Friends,
I am configuring idoc to be passed to XI. I have followed the following steps
1)created port in r/3
2)configured the port in idx1 in XI
when i send the idoc from r/3 the Idoc is not seen on XI using the T code SXMB_MONI but able to see an error status in we02 in XI server the error states
"Basic type ORDERS02 does not exist"
can any one help why i am not able to see the idoc as XML in sxmb_moni instead seeing it in we02 as an Idoc.
Thanx
Anand

make sure you have followed the same to Sent IDOCs to XI;
In XI
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to R3
IDX1 - define the port with the above dest.
In R3
SM59 - R3 connection pointing to XI
WE21 - define the port with the above dest.
WE20 - Partner profile type outbound
Also can you check the following;
1. Check for any entries in SM58 in R3
2. In IDX2 verify if there si the metadata present for your R3 and the Idoc. (XI)
3. Check for entries in IDX5 (XI)
