Drives Orphaned from Array

From a combo of events we have two drives that were orphaned from their RAID Arrays and Admin 1.5.1 will not allow them to be selected for Array Deletion. They were working fine, no problems. We were new to using XServe and we were playing around with various configurations when this happened.
Individual drives are labeled as degraded, with yellow lights on the front.
If we try and create an Array with the drives, we are told they are already part of a RAID Array.
We have no risk of loss of data and could do a raw remove Array initialization if anyone knows a method.
Thanks, Randel

Worked for me, thanks all!

  • Memory/Speed of Split 1D array vs Delete from array

    Just wondering how Split 1D array works - does it create two new arrays in a new section of memory or does it just split the existing array in two, reusing the memory in place. (assuming that the original array is not needed elsewhere). If the latter is the case then presumably it is more efficient to use split array than delete from array if I want to remove element(s) from the beginning or end of the array. Is there a speed advantage as well?
    If I use split array but don't then use one of the output arrays is that memory deallocated or does the array remain in memory?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Ok please ignore the results I posted earlier, they are rubbish - not least because I got the column headings mixed up but also because my code was full of bugs
    So, here is a revised table, and the code - which hopefully only contains a few bugs... I'm not clued into benchmarking yet so please feel free to rip the code apart.
    I still get different results depending on where in the array I split it, most noticeably with subset and reshape. There is no effect with split. I'm guessing this is to do with the memory allocation. (I have not preallocated memory in my code, but I did wire the output arrays to Index Array)

  • I had to get my hard drive replaced from Apple, I lost all of my music obviously.  My question is, how can I get all my music off of my iPhone onto iTunes?  Since it's a new hard drive, the iPhone isn't recognizing this as it's home computer.

    You will need to use third-party software to transfer music from your phone to the iTunes Library. I recommend Phone to Mac - Pod to Mac | Macroplant.com.

  • How to add drive space from one drive to another drive in Solaris 10

    This is something I have never done in Solaris. I have a mounted drive (UFS) with a dir being used for a samba share. The dir is near full. I have another drive right beside it that is empty.
    1. How can I add the drive space from the empty drive to the dir or drive that is nearly full? I have to access all files on both drives from the samba share.
    2. Can I do this without loosing files?
    3. Can I do this without messing up the samba share?
    4. Can this be done on the fly without re-boot?
    Thanks in advance.

    I would start by getting acquainted with ZFS.
    Make sure you have a recent Solaris 10 version with a stable zfs impl. like u4 and later.
    Make sure you have installed reasonably recent Solaris 10 recommended patches - they make a big difference to ZFS.
    Simple solution :
    * put your new drive in a zpool
    # zpool create smbpool <new_drive_device, fx. c0t1d0>
    * make a zfs
    # zfs create smbpool/smbfs
    * stop your samba server
    # svcadm stop smb ?
    * copy your files to your zfs fssmb_ufs=old samba fs
    # cp -rp <old_samba_fs> /pools/smbpool/smbfs
    * un-mount and say goodbye to your old samba fs - /wave
    # umount <old_samba_fs>
    * expand your zpool with the old samba server fs partition
    # zpool add smbpool <device name for old samba slice, fx. c0t0d0s6>
    * move your zfs fs to be mounted on the same mount points as the old samba server fs
    # zfs set mountpoint=<old_samba_mountpoint> smbpool/smbfs
    * restart your samba server
    # svcadm start smb ?
    It requires downtime for the samba server to copy the files, which could be cut shorter by using rsync, rsyncing while samba server online, stop samba server, rsync again for the changes while the first rsync ran.

    Load the drivers and you should then be able to add it in Print Center.

    Unfortunately, that drive is long gone, probably back to the mfr. Drives are not returned when they are exchanged. You can go by and ask them, but the chances are slim to none.

  • How do I input songs from my external hard drive (taken from a PC) and transfer them to my Mac?

    How do I input songs from my external hard drive, taken from a PC, to a Mac?

    Just a few song tracks, or your whole library?  If just a few tracks, drag them from the drive to the open iTunes library window or playlist window.  If your whole library drag the whole iTunes folder to your computer.  Hold down the option key while starting and guide it to the library.itl file in that folder.  If you need to merge libraries post back because that's a much longer post.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
    To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

    error in downloading one drive application from apple store

    I've been having some problems with the OneDrive app - I'm able to download and use it but whenever I search for it on the Mac App Store it says it needs updating even though it never shows up in Software Updates.
    You may need to update your version of OS X from 10.8 to 10.8.5 (if indeed you are running 10.8) -> http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1676 and http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1686.
    If you are on 10.8.5 already, I've no idea why you're unable to download. Try rebooting and opening the Mac App Store application again and give it another go.

  • Is the "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" on the new mac worth the extra cost?  I am comparing with a refurb with better specs (faster CPU, larger hard drive) and from what I undersand the PCIe flash storage is the big differentiator in cost.

    hello - i am considering two macbook pros
    NEW - http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro?product=ME294LL/A&step=config#
    REFURB - http://store.apple.com/us/product/G0ML1LL/A/refurbished-macbook-pro-27ghz-quad-c ore-intel-i7-with-retina-display
    The refurb actually has a faster processor and a larger hard drive.  From what I understand, the big difference in cost is the new macbook pro contains "512GB PCIe-based Flash Storage" versus the refurb "768GB Flash Storage".
    Is the PCIe flash storage really worth the extra cost (and smaller size)?
    PS - Also I believe the brand new one has 2 GB graphics memory as opposed to 1 GB graphics memory.  I don't really care about that as much as I won't be doing a lot of video editing or gaming.

  • Old Mac running Mountain Lion 'sees' Canon IP5000, new MacBook pro will not. No driver available from canon. Is there a way of transfering whatever is working from old mac to new?

    I have two older macs running Mountain Lion that have been upgraded over the years from Leopard. They have continued to be able to print to a Canon IP5000 and use a driver that is fully functional. On the new MacBook Pro, the printer is found, but no driver is available for Mountain Lion from apple or Canon. Is there a way of getting the driver info from the old mac so that it will work on the new one?

  • Writing data from array to file

    May i know how to write string from a array into a file.
    I have use string tokenizer to extract every line from a file using readline and use stringtokenizer to spilt the line using tab delimiter for processing.

    Pls advice.. Thanks

    array[1] = One
    array[2] = Data

    Really thanks for your help,
    but u are mentioning that i have already know the number of countters in advance , that is to say the 2 * counters.
    But is there a way to solve this problem which i mean if i dun know the number of predefined counters. Maybe i should say, there is more than 2 counters and in another situation, the counters will only be defined during runtime. Actually the solution u give will work nicely with 2 counters. but wat if the counter is more than 4, i wll have to concatenate the string a lot of time. so is there any solution around this problem. That why i am wandering if tere is any solution to write to the file when the counters can be only determined in runtime
    Pls advice on the above with a code samples if possible.
