Error replacing vote disk

Hi all,
I've created an Oracle 11g R2 RAC with two nodes on OEL 5.6 (VMWare ESX).
So, I want to replace the vote disk (into ASM) to other device.
We've added five shared disks, and I've created five partitions by using fdisk
to the following:
/dev/sdg1
/dev/sdh1
/dev/sdi1
/dev/sdj1
/dev/sdk1So, the result of ls -ltr /dev/sd* is:
brw-r----- 1 root   disk 8,   0 Mar 18 15:51 /dev/sda
brw-r----- 1 root   disk 8,   2 Mar 18 15:51 /dev/sda2

It return an error:

Getting "replace hard disk error (#10008)" even after replacing hard disk

Hi!
My laptop- HP Pavillion dv 6502- is 4 years old.
Recently, the hard disk supposedly crashed as I was not able to get anything other than a blank screen. I checked with BIOS diagnostics, and it showed error #10008- Replace Hard disk.
So, I went to an hp service centre and got the hard disk replaced.
My earlier hard drive was a Seagate 160 gb momentus 5400.3 disk.
New one is the Seagate 250 gb disk.
The laptop was working properly the day the hard disk was replaced. BIOS diagnostic status for the disk was "Passed"
But, the very next day when i tried starting the system, I got a blank screen again. I again went to BIOS and ran the diagnostic test. I performed the test twice. It took a lot of time to finish- jumping from Reaching till '80% complete', then jumping back to '10% complete', then '90% complete', then '10% complete', and so on.. finally showing '100% complete' and status : #10008 - Replace hard disk - both the times.
Then, I had to go out of station and so, I didn't touch my laptop for 2 days. When i came back, the computer was working fine and the BIOS test status said "Passed" for the disk
What could be the problem due to which my problem wasn't starting earlier- even after replacement of disk? Is it possible that the disk was not the problem in the first place?

Hi!
Turned out the second new Hard disk was also not fine. I went back to the service centre and got the hard disk replaced again. This time the laptop has been working fine.

Faild -replace hard disk 1 ( warranty id - error code 10008)

faild -replace hard disk 1 ( warranty id - error code 10008)

Hi,
The error would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know - include the full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.
Regards,
DP-K

My computer keeps giving me an error message "non sysetm disk or disk error replace and strike any

My computer keeps giving me an error message "non systne disk or disk error replace and strike any key when ready" It is a HP elite notebook. WHen I strike any key it looks as though it is running scripts and return to the above error. Is there a way to reset the computer to a point in time when it function normally?

My suggestion is to start unit and press F10 to get into BIOS. Navigate to Diagnostics and select Hard Disk Self Test. This will test your Hard Drive for errors and failure. If the hard drive does not pass both tests, you will need to replace the hard drive and obtain recovery disks.

But soon after its been repaired, I click the " Verify Disk " again just to see if it'd give me the same error message, its the same every time.
So is it really repaired you think?

Hi, hellopinky. The error messages you're seeing don't necessarily indicate that you need to repair your hard drive. Your drive could be failing, and that might cause the reported problems, but there are other causes for those errrors besides a failing drive. If the S.M.A.R.T. status indicated in the First Aid tab of Disk Utility says "Verified", your drive is probably fine. If the S.M.A.R.T. status is "Failing", replace the drive immediately. That indicates a hardware problem that no software can fix.
"Repair Disk" and "Repair Disk Permissions" address two different classes of software problems. The former button repairs (or tries to repair) problems with the directory that records what's on your hard drive and where on the drive each item is stored. The latter button checks to make sure the read/write permissions for your files are correct, and if not, it corrects them.
The "Verify" buttons for Disk and for Permissions carry out the same checking routines as the "Repair" options, but they don't try to correct anything — they only report what they find. If there's a problem on my hard drive, I want it corrected, not just reported. So I consider the "Verify" options to be a real waste of time, and I never use them.
Your permissions appear to be fine, but your disk directory is damaged in at least one way that Disk Utility hasn't repaired. If you haven't run the "Repair Disk" routine yet (I can't tell from your post), do that now, and see whether it reports that the problems have been fixed. If it does, run it repeatedly until you get two successive reports showing a clean bill of health: no problems found or repaired.
If "Repair Disk" reports problems that it couldn't fix, or if you can't get two successive "clean" runs after half a dozen tries, you'll need a stronger, third-party disk utility such as DiskWarrior to repair the directory, or else you'll need to reformat the hard drive and reinstall everything on it from scratch — that will clear away the old, damaged directory, but is very time-consuming. Leaving a damaged disk directory unrepaired will eventually lead to loss of data, kernel panics, and other potentially serious consequences you really don't want to experience, so don't just ignore the problem.

Error - #10008 Replace hard disk 1

I am pretty sure my hard drive has gone bad from other posts I have been reading.
I dont need any data off of this device. I actually was just about to start deleting old data so I could give this device to a family in need. Went to start the computer to start this process. However, when I went to do this it went to BSOD. Messed with it a little bit, then I got BSOD. I fillany figure out to run test and got the #10008 replace hard disk 1 error.
As I would still like to give this family this laptop, my question is: Where could I buy a cheap replacement hard drive. Is it hard to do? And I dont think I have a back up/ install disk to but on operating system. What would I need to do to get that going and would it be affordable.
I am totally willing to put in the work to get it back up and going, but was woundering if anyone would be willing to give me some instruction on how to do this.
Thanks a million for any advice and help.
This question was solved.

Hi,
Regarding reinstalling the OS on the new HDD, here are two options.
1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ). They will also re-create all the original partitions, including the Recovery Partition.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
2. Another option you could consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Before trying the following, make sure you can still read the 25 Character Product Activation key on your Windows COA label ( 5 blocks of 5 alpha/numeric sets ).
An example of a COA Label can be seen Here.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn ( Note: You may want to de-select the additional software offerings during the installation of ImgBurn ) to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. The Windows Image source is Digital River.
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64bit.
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.

Additional drivers and software you may need can be found Here.

never had this before download of Mountain Lion.

As others have stated, this is a potentially catastrophic event. Consider yourself lucky, as hard drives usually just fail wihtout warning. Your disk could die at any time. This is a mechanical / physical failure, not software related.
Going forward, I would suggest utilizing a utility that monitors SMART status, which you obviously don't have, such as SpeedTools.

"Error:Out of Disk Space" message. Why?

I've been using an Apple G4 with FCP2 to capture footage through a Sony DSR-11 deck. I've set up a LaCie 500GB 7200, with most of its 500GB available, as capture disk. As late as last summer I used this system to capture 70+ hours of footage which was then edited on another system.
This time I've met only problems. I've tried capturing 5 different DV tapes. They seem to be capturing but at the end of the hour I get the message "Error: Out of Disk Space".
Does anyone know why this might be happening? I've checked the set up and everything seems in order. (These tapes are 4:3, the ones captured last year were 16:9 DV, so the only adjustment I had to make was un-checking "anamorphic".) I even tried capturing to the MAC hard drive to see if the problem was the LaCie drive, but I get the same same message. (The LaCie I've been using had been full with last year's capture scratch and the disk had been erased through LaCie's Silverlining program, so for a while I began to think that this may be the problem; that maybe I'd have to reformat the disk, etc. but this test seems to rule that out.)
Thanks.
John

Since I last wrote I’ve changed hard drives, run tests on them, as well as trash my preferences, which I did earlier. Still, if I try to capture a tape (to disks with up to 460 GB available) I get the message “Error: Out of Disk Space”. The only thing I can think of doing now is deleting and then reinstalling the Final Cut software.
Here I’m kind of dumb and don’t want to make any mistakes. This Apple has been a stand-alone computer used only for Final Cut and the software was installed when I got it. The rest of my life has been conducted on a PC. So is there anything I should do before deleting Final Cut? Should I be doing anything to protect exiting project files, captured clips, thumbnail cache etc.? Will Final Cut just recognize these when I re-install? What do I do? Just open the Mac hard drive, identify the Final Cut application and drag it to Trash? Do I need to empty the trash first or should I leave it there for safety?
I look at the instructions that came with my ancient Final Cut 2 disks. Here’s what they say in full:
To install QuickTime, follow these steps
1) Insert the Final Cut Pro CD in your CD drive. (I see I have two disks: one “Final Cut Pro 2”, the other “Final Cut Pro 2:Tutorial Media” Do I need to install the second?)
2) Double-click the CD’s icon, then double-click the QuickTime Installer folder.
3) Double-click the QuickTime Installer icon and follow the onscreen instructions.
4) When the Choose Installation Type window appears, select Custom, then click Continue.
5) In the next window, click Select All, then continue
This replaces any previous versions of QuickTime and ensures a complete installation of all components required by Final Cut Pro.
6) When a message appears saying installation was successful, click Restart.
Is this all straightforward or might there be any potential pitfalls in the above instructions for someone unfamiliar with installing software on a Mac (In my case old software and an old Mac – a G4)? I guess I should also ask if you folks out there agree that re-installing Final Cut may be the answer to my problem, that this error message is the result of a glitch that has arisen in the installed version of Final Cut.
Thanks in advance for any help.

How to replace a disk within a parity space

I have been searching the net for better documentation on this, but so far not a lot of information on what happens when I want to do the following (this is for home use - I am not a storage admin):
I had a JBOD array with 8 disks in it. 3x3TB and 5x2TB. I had this array thin provisioned to 45 TiB. When I hit about 13 TiB of storage, the drive stopped accepting new data and it was time to expand. This made sense to me as I had
about 19 TB or 17.3 TiB of room, minus parity, I'm about there. Perhaps I could have done more to maximize usage, but that point is moot now. What I did was buy and add a new 4TB disk to the array.
I had a Storage Pool containing all my disks, and I added this new 4TB disk to the pool. I had a Virtual Disk sitting on that pool in Single Parity mode. After adding the drive, I was unable to get the existing virtual disk to use that drive.
I imagine this was due to the number of columns previously allocated to the array. I had some ideas on how to offload the data into a new Virtual Disk with more columns, but nothing really worked, so I bought 3 more 4TB disks, reduced my data footprint
to 12TB, copied everything off, and destroyed the array.
Next I re-built my media server and put the original 8 disks in place, along with the fourth new 4TB disk, as well as a 200 GB disk, a 600 GB disk, and a 1.5 TB disk that I had laying around. I'm in day 2 of my copy operation from BackupDrive1
to the new 12 disk array. When that completes, I want to use that disk to replace the 200 GB disk I was using as a placeholder.
Everything I read on the internet has been inconclusive to me thus far. Microsoft's own documentation claims that replacing a disk is as simple as removing the old disk and adding the new one, but I don't think it is. When I tested this
using the 4TB disk and the other 3 oddballs with a smaller subset of data, it definitely wasn't as easy as that.
My intuition tells me that what I am supposed to do is power down the server and replace the disk I intend to replace, then add that disk to the now degraded storage pool. At that point I should remove the old drive from the pool and repair the virtual
disk. However, I am nervous that "removing" a drive will decrease the number of columns, and that in the end I won't be able to use the space from the 4TB drive. I've seen questions on the net on how to replace a disk and none of them
seem to specifically apply to parity spaces, most are talking about either simple spaces (not happening) and mirror spaces. I understand the difference but Microsoft's implementation of this is not as straightforward as other products I have used.
In other cases it was as simple as this: Physically replace disk, receive prompt that your old disk is missing, but you have a new disk, and would you like to rebuild the data from the old disk on the new disk? Yes? Then wait patiently while
we painfully write 4TB of 1's and 0's and you're good to go. I want this button in Storage Spaces please.

Shaon,
Thanks for your reply. However, this does not sufficiently answer my question.
The 200GB, 600 GB and 1.5 TB drives are temporary drives, since from my experience, adding drives to an array with 8 or more drives does not work. I want to replace these drives with 4TB drives, leaving the smallest drive at 2TB.
Also, I was under the assumption that parity (which I'm imagining works in storage spaces somewhat like RAID 50), claims a space for parity equal to the size of the largest drive in the bunch, not the smallest, leaving me with a total space equal to the sum
of the drives minus 4TB.
I have experimented with the suggested workflow, but through the GUI this does not work. I add the new drive, remove the missing one, and get a popup explaining that my virtual disk will be "In Repair". However, this popup vanishes before I can
click OK (almost certainly a Microsoft bug). If I click OK before I finish reading this, nothing happens. The drive doesn't repair. I need to retire the disk through PowerShell, and then use PowerShell to repair the virtual disk. This
works out OK for a while, but once I start using it, the new drive infallibly gives me an error of "Stale Metadata". I have tried this with 3 different 4TB drives, so I have doubts that this is actually a hardware issue with the drives. More than
likely, this is a false positive caused by an issue with Storage Spaces. It does give me pause on continuing to use the disk, so I end up swapping the old 200GB disk back in every time and the space works fine at that point. Right now I am attempting
to replace the 1.5 TB disk instead, to see if that does anything. After that, I plan on running the Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter D -Analyze -Verbose cmdlet to attempt to rebalance the data on the disk. Should I expect that command to do anything
useful?
Just a side comment, this product has been around for a solid 2 years now. I've found the documentation to be almost non-existent, with the exception of one TechNet page that every question seems to have a link to in the answer. This page helps
almost no-one as it lacks in examples that apply to the questions that are asked. It gives little information on parity spaces, and does not equivocally answer the one question that many parity space users have, "What is the correct workflow for growing
my pool?" I understand that in a mirrored situation, you can't grow the pool without adding a certain amount of disks, but if parity functions anything like RAID 50, this should not be a limitation. It amazes me that this is the only document Microsoft
seems to have regarding Storage Spaces, and this single document has seemingly never been updated. Take this feedback however you will, I truly hope that more discussion will reach the right people and help Microsoft fix the issues with a product that
actually has a lot of promise.

Move OCR and Vote Disk to a new SAN

Hi,
Can you guys help me with some links/documents for moving OCR and Vote disk files from old SAN to new SAN.
Both SAN will have ocfs2 formatted 3 partitions on which ocr and votedisk will be placed (normal redundancy).
Oracle version 11g R2,
OS linux 5.5
RAC nodes : 2
Datafiles on ASM
OCR/Votedisk on ocfs2
Regards,
Ajay

Thanks for the reply, but all the examples were showing either ocfs2 to ASM or raw to ocfs2. could you just point out the high level steps for moving 3 ocr & votedisk files from one san to another(ocfs to ocfs).
Hi Ajay,
Steps will be same . It doesnt matter whether it is raw to ocfs2 or ocfs to ocfs.
There will be change only how do you assign storage for OCR/voting disk.
I have another doubt that, i already have 3 ocr files, can i add more ocr files pointing to another mount point? the same goes with votedisk.
You can use replace option so there is no need to add 4th OCR disk.
i found steps in one of the website: i have few doubts in it, could any one clarify it...All the steps seems to be fine.
Moving OCR
1) create mount point(new san - /u05) in all nodes
2) precreate ocr files in new mount points (i am not sure how to do it? is it just touch and filename, its a ocfs2 file system)on ocfs you need to create file as below :
dd if=/dev/zero of=/ocfs/OCR/ocrnew.dbf bs=1M count=128
Also I would suggest to have a look at :

Time Machine error "The backup disk image could not be created"

I'm trying to back up to an external hard drive on a home network (not Time Capsule). Time Machine appears to recognize the drive, and the correct amount of free space on it, but fails with the error "The backup disk image could not be created" after a lengthy "Preparing" wait. What's going on? Other applications are able to access this drive with no problems.

I know Apple won't support other makes of NAS, but this post I found from Pondini worked for me.
Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Check your Computer Name at the top of the System Preferences > Sharing panel.
It must not be blank; it should not be more than 25 characters long; and you should avoid punctuation, spaces, and special characters.
After changing it, click the Edit button and make the corresponding change to the Local Hostname.
If that doesn't help, apply the same rules to the name of your Time Capsule and Network, via Airport Utility.
It was really as simple as that (after I had done such things as delete the sparsebundle file, created a new one, zeroed-out the new one, nightmare!)
Problem seems to be with OS X's naming of Macs when you first set it up, as it creates a hostname "<yourName>'s Mac Book." When the NAS software (mine anyway) creates the sparsebundle image it replaces the spaces of the hostname with hyphens and strips out the apostrophe, which is never gonna work.

Unable to install Mountain Lion - S.M.A.R.T. errors My hard disk error?

Unable to install Montain Lion after purchasing form store and download on Mac Pro 13 inch 2.3 Intel i5 OS 10.7.4. When I am presented with install options, my HD option is dimmed and there is a message: "This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors. This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired. Back up as much of the data as possible and replace the disk."

Well that's good advice. SMART errors are only presented when the hard drive is about to die. This is a dire warning.
You should ensure you have a current backup, and then replace the hard drive. You may need to take it into an Apple Store... if it's < 3 years old and you have AppleCare they will probably replace it for you.
