Bootcamp 5 fails to create installation USB drive

Bootcamp version 5, running on Mountain Lion, keeps failing on creating the Windows 7 Startup disk. I'm using a 8gb USB drive and it formats it without any problems. The process will carry on until around 50% of copying installation files and then fails.
I've tried 2 different USB Flash drives and I've check the ISO image for Windows 7.
Can anyone help me with a solution? Or why this is happening.
Thanks

It means you must have windows in a file instead of a disk and the file's extension is ".iso". For Example: WIN7INST.iso. .ISO files are the windows counterpart of Mac's .dmg files. How do you create a windows .iso files? I perfectly don't know but surely there's a program such as Disk Utility that can rip a Windows installer CD/DVD into a file with the .iso extension.
Back to you question: you need Windows in an .iso file format instead than a CD/DVD.
By the way... I'm not going to suggest you to do what I'm going to say because I'm not sure it always work but I sometimes rip a Windows CD/DVD with Disk Utility in "master" format (no compression) with .cdr extension. Then i just change the .cdr in .iso and it works in windows.
Why using a .ISO on a USB drive instead a CD/DVD? Becaus installation may be faster or in case you don't have a Superdrive, either internal or external, but necessary for installing Windows in BootCamp. From a generic CD/DVD reader, Windows installer will not start on a Mac, at least on my... dead late 2011 MacBook Pro.

Add RAID 1 to WAE 574

I just received a brand new WAVE-574 for our branch office, and noticed that it was shipped with a single drive configuration. I just bought an additional hard drive from Cisco to go into this WAVE-574 so the disks are configured in a RAID 1 for redandancy.   I have been looking for configuration and setup instructions, but without any luck so far.
Could you please let me know the setup procedures?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Hi Rocky,
The links I provided are config guide links and you only need appropriate CCO id to access them. I do not think these are partner only links.
Let me paste some of the details from the links provided by me and Fabio here:
Replacing a Hard Disk Drive
The WAVE appliance supports as many as two 3.5-inch (Large Form Factor) SATA hard drives.
When replacing hard drives to the WAVE appliance, observe the following general guidelines:
•The system automatically sets all drive numbers.
•If only one hard drive is used, install it in the bay with the lowest drive number.
•Drives must be the same capacity to provide the greatest storage space efficiency when drives are grouped together into the same drive array.
Note All hard disk drives being used in the appliance must be identical.
Caution To maintain proper system cooling, do not operate the appliance for more than 10 minutes without either a hard disk drive or a filler panel installed in each bay.
To replace a hard disk drive in a bay, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the information in the "Safety Warnings and Cautions" section on page 2-2 and the "Safety Guidelines" section on page 2-3.
Step 2 Make sure that the chassis cover is in place and fully closed.
Step 3 Power down the device and and disconnect the power cord and all external cables.
Step 4 Slide the latch and then pull out the handle (see Figure 4-4).
Figure 4-4     Removing a Hard Disk Drive
Step 5 Pull the drive assembly from the bay.
Step 6 Wait 1 minute and then insert the new drive into the same slot by aligning the replacement drive assembly with guide rails in the bay and sliding the drive assembly into the bay until it stops. Make sure that the drive is properly seated in the bay.
Step 7 Close the drive handle.
Step 8 Reboot the WAVE appliance.
Step 9 Check the hard disk drive status LED after the system has booted to verify that the hard disk drive is operating correctly. If the amber hard disk drive status LED for a drive is lit continuously, that drive is faulty and must be replaced. If the green hard disk drive activity LED is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Step 10 Wait 1 minute and then verify that the replaced disk drive is in the Rebuilding state by using the show disks details command in EXEC mode.
Note The system automatically starts the rebuild operation when it detects the removal and reinsertion of a drive that is part of the logical RAID drive.
Step 11 Wait until the rebuild operation is complete. A disk rebuild operation may take several hours. You can check if the rebuild operation is complete by using the show disk details command in EXEC mode. The physical drive state will be Online and the RAID logical drive state will be Okay after the rebuild operation is completed.
Step 12 Use the show disk tech command in EXEC mode to verify that the firmware and BIOS information is correct for both hard drives.
If you have multiple disk failures and your RAID-1 logical status is Offline, you must recreate the RAID-1 array. For more information on disk removal and replacement procedures, see the Cisco Wide Area Application Services Configuration Guide, Chapter 15, "Maintaining Your WAAS System."
Performing Disk Maintenance for RAID-1 Systems
WAAS supports hot-swap functionality for both failed disk replacement and scheduled disk maintenance. When a disk fails, WAAS automatically detects the disk failure, marks the disk as bad, and removes the disk from the RAID-1 volume. To schedule disk maintenance, you must manually shut down the disk.
You must wait for the disk to be completely shut down before you physically remove the disk from the WAE. When the RAID removal process is complete, WAAS generates a disk failure alarm and trap. In addition, a syslog ERROR message is logged.
Note If the removal event (such as, a disk failure or software shutdown) occurs while the RAID array is in the rebuild process, the RAID removal process may take up to 1 minute to complete. The duration of this process depends on the size of the disk.
If the WAAS software removes a failed disk during the RAID rebuild process, a RAID rebuild failure alarm is generated. If you administratively shut down the disk during the RAID rebuild process, a RAID rebuild abort alarm is generated instead.
When you install a replacement disk, the WAAS software detects the replacement disk and performs compatibility checks on the disk, initializes the disk by creating partitions, and adds the disk to the software RAID to start the RAID rebuild process.
If the newly inserted disk has the same disk ID as a disk that was previously marked bad in the same physical slot, then the disk will not be mounted, and the post-replacement checks, initialization, and RAID rebuilding will not occur.
A newly installed disk must be of the same type as the old disk and it must meet the following compatibility requirements:
•If the replacement disk is for disk00, disk02, or disk04 of a RAID pair, the replacement disk must be the same size as the running disk in the array.
•If the replacement disk is for disk01, disk03, or disk05 of a RAID pair, then the replacement disk must have the same or greater RAID capacity as the running disk in the array.
Compatibility checks, which are part of the hot-swap process, check for capacity compatibility. Incompatibility generates an alarm and aborts the hot-swap process.
Table 15-3 shows the drive-type compatibility for the WAE-612. All drives must be the same type.
Table 15-3     WAE-612 Drive-Type Compatibility Matrix
Drive Types SAS1 SATA22
SAS
Ok
No
SATA2
No
Ok
1 Serial Attached SCSI
2 Serial Advanced Technology Attachment 2
To perform disk maintenance, follow these steps:
Step 1 Manually shut down the disk.
a. Enter the disk disk-name diskxx shutdown command in global configuration mode.
b. Wait for the disk to be completely shut down before you physically remove the disk from the WAE. When the RAID removal process is complete, WAAS generates a disk failure alarm and trap. In addition, a syslog ERROR message is logged.
Note We recommend that you disable the disk error-handling reload option, if enabled, because it is not necessary to power down the system to remove a disk.
Step 2 Insert a replacement disk into the slot in the WAE. The replacement disk must have a disk ID number that is different from the disk that it is replacing.
Step 3 Reenable the disk by entering the no disk disk-name diskxx shutdown global configuration command.

HP Intelligent provisioning - Logical drive 0MB

First off I wouldn't create a RAID 5 as thats about the most documented topic on Spiceworks...Unless you are using SSDs there is no place for it when RAID 10 for performance/stability and RAID 6 for archive/backup type scenarios are much better choices
But back to the issue
Have you created a logical drive in the ACU or are you assuming the provisioning will do this
I have also seen this issue when using non standard characters the the setup with provisioning tool

Hi all,
I bought a new HP DL360 Gen 9 and is trying to install the OS using intelligent Provisioning. Going through all the steps and creating an array with a logical drive on RAID5. When going to the next step to install the OS, it gives an error "The configured partition of 0MB is less than the minimum size of 5328MB for the selected operating system. Are you sure you want to continue?" If I continue it shows Partition Type/Size NTFS/0.00Bytes.
Any advice will be appreciated.

Making Linux to see the logical drive

Hi all,
I have a basic question about configuring StorEdge 3320 arrays. I have managed to create a logical drive, now to mount this drive, I need to make linux know about it. I don't know how to tell Linux to rescan and discover all the available drives (I would prefer if it does not involve rebooting). I can currently see devices
/dev/sdc and /dec/sdd
But neither of them are readable by fdisk (it says, unable to open). I am running RHEL5.
thanks
Nilesh

In kernel 2.4 there were ways how to rescan the bus, unfortunately kernel 2.6 doesn't have it. I know that both Qlogic and Emulex provide scrips for rescaning the bus without need to reboot the box or unload and load back the driver.

For some machines, you can use sas2ircu or raidctl command, or the commands directly in OBP level.

Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller keeps loosing Logical Drive after power shutdown.

Hi, I own two HP Microservers Gen8. I added SSD drive on the DVD SATA port in both. I created Raid 0 over the SSD Drive that I can boot from it, but everytime I shutdown the box (power outage), the logical drive is lost. Note that the logical drive is not lost on reboot. Only when the box is is shutdown. Any ideas why is this happening? Here are repro steps: Enter Smart Storage Administrator
Select onDynamic Smart Array B220i RAID CtrollerClick on "Unassigned Drive" Screen shows me:SATA HDD:
- 3TB Port1:Bay1
- 3TB Port2:Bay2 SATA SSD
- 120GB Port5:Bay5 I selected Sata SSD drive in Port5:Bay5I clicked on "Create Array"
On a next screen I select the following:
I selected RAID 0, 256 KiB Stripe Size, 32 Sectors, Maximum Size
I click on "Create Logical Drive" On a next screen:
A message: Logical Drive was successfully created.
I click on Finish
I exit the Smart Storage Manager and reboot the system. The server boots from the Raid0 Array (Sata SSD Drive in Port5:Bay5) -> No problem If I just reboot the server, it boots from the Raid0 Array. - No problemIf I shut down the server (or during Power outage), the Smart Array tells me that there is no logical array during the boot. The boot fails. -> Qualifies for a problem.
Please can you explain why is the logical drive lost after power loss? Why the controller does not remember the setting? Other details:- Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller (v3.54.0)- When I boot to Smart Storage Administrator after power failure, I can recreate the Raid 0 over the SSD drive and boot again - this a work around the issue. Thank you for your advise.Jiri

Time machine backup fails; error creating folder. Western Digital drive requires password which is perhaps/likely the issue. I can't eliminate the password/encryption.

Time Machine backup fails on new WD external drive (My Passport Studio); error creating folder (after several hours of Time Machine apparently working).
Background: I purchased a Western Digital drive from an Apple Store to use for Time Machine backup. I followed the Western Digital instructions that came with the drive for Mac. I didn't get the Time Machine prompt which the instructions indicated I would receive--namely to select whether I want to encrypt my Time Macine backups. (I already have a Time Machine backup I use at another location, which is perhaps why I didn't receive a prompt.)
I decided to install the Western Digital utilities and security software that comes on the disk--with a view to potentially encrypting the disk (since I still wanted to have an encrypted backup since I was mobile). I forgot that (from experience 2-years previous) that I shouldn't install Western Digital software because it just makes life really complicated.
I tried several times to do a Time Machine backup with failures each time (error creating the backup folder). I tried to get help from WD but I don't think the technicians were following what my issue was. Potentially I was not helpful in explaining it. I deleted the WD applications from my system after the first contact with WD. However the problem persisted--I still had an encrypted hard drive. After three phone sessions with three different WD techs I still could not get a solution. (By the second call I was not at all interested in having an encrypted drive--I just wanted to format and restore the drive to an unencrypted state so that I could have SOME kind of Time Machine backup.)
I still don't have a solution--either to get Time Machine working with the WD encryption/password on the drive, or to remove the encryption so I can backup. Right now my options are to return the drive to the Apple Store -- or get a return authorization from WD. Seems crazy since the drive is fine and I have the working password.

Never install "helpful software" provided by WD and Seagate (or any HD mfg.)
All such stuff is fluff and nonsense that interferes with normal HD operation.
Always when you buy a new HD, format it for Mac and then use it to TM backup or clone a HD, or archive data.
Less is more on HD new out of box. A "blank brick", no fluff and cotton candy software

What is the ideal RAID 5 logical drive configuration to use with editing 1080p on FCPX?

Hello,
I invested in one of the new Late 2013 Mac Pros (8-core 3GHz, dual Fire Pro D500 w/ 3GM VRAM each, 32GB RAM), along with a Promise Pegasus R6 Thunderbolt (ver 1) RAID because I wanted a fast and supremely smooth editing experience versus slow, laggy, drop frame performance I had been experienceing in my previous Mac (a mid-2010 27" iMac 2.8 GHz Quad-Core, 16GB RAM, Radeon 5750 with 1GB VRAM) that had media stored on a single 3TB firewire drive.
The RAID came pre-configured with 6 x 1TB Toshiba drives giving me a Logical Drive that has 5TB capacity, 128kb stripe size, 512byte sector size, with Read Ahead/Write Back cache policy. I've also enabled "Forced Read Ahead" using terminal.
THE PROBLEM:
Even with this super fast media storage that gives me about 600MB/sec data transfer rate, I'm still sometimes experiencing lag and stuttered playback from the timeline (In all fairness, the stuttering only happens for a few seconds then plays fine, but the lag can be frustrating when I'm trying to click through the timeline to check edits). The footage I work with is 1080p mov files from Canon DSLR that are transcoded to ProRes 422 and Proxy during import into FCPX. I never edit with camera-native formats, always with ProRes. I also always close all other applications, eventhough all the power boasted by the Mac Pro shouldn't have a problem with that. I've tested the video cards by playing multiple 1080p H.264 files at once and it played about 10 simultaneously without a hitch. I've also edited under a new user and still the issue remains. My conclusion is that the lag comes from the RAID. (I did a test project with having my library saved on the internal flash storage and editing improved dramatically with speed and responsiveness, which signals that my problem must lie with the RAID).
THE QUESTION:
Is there a preferred or recommended stripe size and sector size that would cure my problem? Is it because it's RAID 5 even though I'm using 6 disks and getting tremendous sustained data xfer rates?
OTHER RELATED INFO:
My FCPX import settings copies all files into the library and I have Optimized and Proxy checked. My projects are also saved in the same library so everything is contained in one place.
My projects are mostly 40 minute wedding videos 1080p at 23.98fps with lots of short video clips during montage segments, no more than 2 video tracks during the wedding the wedding ceremony.
I frequenly repair permissions on the internal boot drive. Sometimes trash FCPX preferences when performance gets ridiculous or other glitches happen, like audio refusing to play, or the timeline plays no video just audio.
Thank you! Any help or advice is appreciated!

Hi,
Making our tablespace in different directory does not improve the performance. See, Basic thing does if you are lauching your text file from different directory
say Drives C , D and F respectively does your hit any performance (your OS is installed on Drive C). I don't thinnk you will getany boost up performance. See Basicaltl what is happening is that, try to launch you textpad and try to open the files from any there then you file will open immediately, if you ask me the reason behind that, you application is already loaded in the Memory to give the Service (same as ORACLE Instance). That's the difference.

Zone Cluster: Creating a logical host resource fails

Hi All,
I am trybing to create a logical host resource with two logical addresses to be part of the resource, however, the command is failing. Here is what I run to create the resource:
clrslh create -Z pgsql-production -g pgsql-rg -h pgprddb-prod,pgprddb-voip pgsql-halh-rs
And I am presented with this failure:
clrslh: specified hostname(s) cannot be hosted by any adapter on bfieprddb01
clrslh: Hostname(s): pgprddb-prod pgprddb-voip
I have pgprddb-prod and pgprddb-voip defined in the /etc/hosts files on the 2 global cluster nodes and also within the two zones in the zone cluster.
I have also modified the zone cluster configuration as described in the following thread:
http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5420128
This is what I have done to the zone cluster:
clzc configure pgsql-production
clzc:pgsql-production> add net
clzc:pgsql-production:net> set address=pgprddb-prod
clzc:pgsql-production:net> end
clzc:pgsql-production> add net
clzc:pgsql-production:net> set address=pgprddb-voip
clzc:pgsql-production:net> end
clzc:pgsql-production> verify
clzc:pgsql-production> commit
clzc:pgsql-production> quit
Am I missing something here, help please :)
I did read a blog post mentioning that the logical host resource is not supported with exclusive-ip zones at the moment, but I have checked my configuration and I am running with ip-type=shared.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I managed to fix the issue, I got the hint from the following thread:
http://72.5.124.102/thread.jspa?threadID=5432115&tstart=15
Turns out that you can only define more than one logical host if they all reside on the same subnet. I therefor had to create 2 logical host resources for each subnet by doing the following in the global zone:
clrslh create -g pgsql-rg -Z pgsql-production -h pgprddb-prod pgsql-halh-prod-rs
clrslh create -g pgsql-rg -Z pgsql-production -h pgprddb-voip pgsql-halh-voip-rs
Thanks for reading :)

Software raid 1 drive(s) failed

Curious on what to do with a RAID 1 Drive (s) failure? I've searched the community and cannot find similar issue/answers.
Configuration:
One 1TB OS & App Drive is fine
Two 3TB RAID 1 Drives for Video scratch are fine
Two 2TB RAID 1 Data Drives are my issue
I'm using the software raid in OSX and it shows "2TB Data Drive/Mirrored Offline"
Both drives have "Failed" next to them
I have backup this Data Drive in Time Machine and a recent full back up to a single drive that is off site. I believe I have a good back up strategy with Time Machine and offsite back ups via Voyager S3. I guess we'll find out!
My question is how do I find out if it's a HW issue or SW issue with this configuration ? And then how to go about recovering them?
Initially when I looked in Disk Utility it appeared that only one of the 2TB drives had "Failed" next to it but now after a reboot "Failed" is next to both drives.
My initial hope was that one of the drives had failed and I'd be able to just replace that drive and the RAID System would rebuild from the other drive.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks

RAID 1 just copies the same data to two (or more) drives at the same time, it's only for mission critical data loss requirements where a drive failure during writing would be catastrophic. Like taking purchasing orders or getting a phone call from ET for example.
RAID 0 is dangerous as the data path is separated to how many drives in the RAID 0 set, one drive glitches and all data is lost. But provides insane speeds.
RAID 5 is a much more reliable, it combines many drives (4 or more for more speed) splitting the data path but also has redundancy factor that if a drive dies it can be replaced and the data is recovered from the other drives. Usually a RAID 5 is in a external enclosure with it's own cooling and hardware controllers, not software based RAID where your CPU is being overloaded.
There are other forms of RAID some combinations like RAID 1+0, RAID 6, 10 and so forth, you can find out more about the more eclectic RAID types online.
RAID 5 is more ideally suited to video requirements for data storage, with perhaps a RAID 0 as a scratch disk or a RAID 0 + 1 (the RAID 0 is mirrored to another RAID 0) if your going to take a while working on it that increases the potential of failure.
Once the work is completed, it's sent to the RAID 5 where it's safe with it's redundancy and speed.

The thing to remmeber with the failed RAID 1 Data drive is the data is still on the drive, even though it failed and perhaps things are messed up a little on it on the directory. All the drive needs is to be told it's not part of a RAID 1 anymore, that it's a normal drive, a simple fix, but I don't know how to go about it.
You have two drives and two chances to recover the data off off, simply disconnect one data drive and reboot, see if it will mount and or you can repair the drive in Disk Utility.
If not pull one drive out and stick another blank one in there and download Data Rescue and simply recover the files to the new blank drive. DR works by simply reading the files themselve, not the file struture or anything else.
Software RAID is unreliable, it depends upon the CPU. Opt to get a external RAID where it's based in hardware instead. Use eSATA if all possible.
Also consider using backup software, like Carbon Copy Cloner which can be scheduled to make a backup of your data during the middle of the night. This way if something happens to either your boot drive or a data drive, the clone won't immediately copy the issue to the other drive like a RAID 1 does.
Also Carbon Copy Cloner makes "hold option" bootable OS X boot drive clones, which TimeMachine doesn't.
Also TM kicks in what, like once a hour? It's likely what caused your issue, CCC will work when you schedule it. TM is for consumers, not video pro's like yourself.
If you need even heavier iron as a external RAID setup and more expertise, then see these guys
