HighPoint RocketRaid 6GB/s eSATA not launching my RAID 0 drive

Hi there,
I have a Mac Pro 3,1 (2008) with 8 cores, 10GB RAM. In 2011, I bought the HighPoint RocketRaid 6GB/s eSATA for Mac RAID card (model number 644MLF I believe). It has 4 eSATA ports. The RAID 0 was initialized with four 1TB external hard drives (WD Caviar Black in Startech eSATA / USB enclosures). I'm running Lion operating system (whatever the latest 10.7.x).
Unfortunately the RAID management is software based and I was alwasy suspecious about that because Disk Utility doesn't do much with setting things up or manipulating, restoring, etc.
Anyway,  I was running smoothly. One time I had a fail to launch after the computer accidentally went to sleep mode. I restarted it and after a few attempts it worked.
I wasn't happy with this kind of odd behaviour but I thought I would never let it sleep again. But about a month ago it happened again and whatever I did, I couldn't make it to launch my RAID drive. It makes that sharp continuous beep sound and the system becomes very unstable unless I turn off the drives or even take the RocketRAID card out of the system.
The problem is I had it for RAID 0 since I was working on whole bunch of uncompressed full HD footage and I needed to maximize the smooth image. I thought eventually I buy a 4 TB drive as a backup connect it to my Time Machine and it backs up the RAID 0 that way but 4TB drives are (were) not out when I did the setup and I was too optimistic running my assets without backup in this time period.
Anyway, long story short, I'm now stuck in a situation that I don't want to completely re-initialize my drives because most probably I will loose my content (anyone that knows this please comment). I went to Apple store, they tested the drives and said they are fine, and they can't do anything with the RocketRaid card since it is a third party hardware!!! So someone tells them why do you sell it then!!??
I tried to get a hold of HighPoint tech support but they don't answer any tech calls. I filled out a web based support form. I doubt they can give me direction by emails back and forth.
Anyone had that experience before? Did you manage solving the launch problem? How?
Thanks for your help.

buy some wd black 2TB drives for soare and backup, and even 3TB greens.
so you are using Apple DU software RAID and initialized with Lion is fine.
the drive enclosure is _______ ?
$140 http://www.softraid.com is a good product and feature set, can also take-over an Apple array. demo and manual, and email support at softraid.com they do respond in spades, and makes it worth buying if it sounds good.
HPT support is iffy, it has new 10.7.5 driver? or do you need to dual boot and get out your 10.6.8 system clone? and SL has no issues but 10.7.x on 2008/3, 1 doesin terms of power mgmt. you could try another lion clean install to test but some had to go back to 10.6.8.

  • Apps not launching after using Firewire drive on a different ibook.

    Hello. I purchased a used ibook running system 9.2 and used my firewire drive from my original ibook ( OS 10.3.9) as a startup disk. It mounted the drive and operated but Safari and Mail were un able to make an internet connection. Mail needed a Force Quit to be able to Shutdown. The firewire drive is the only drive used with the original ibook and contains the OS and applications. Since then several but not all applications will not launch on my original ibook. Safari crashes then launches. Mail launches but will not work. Incidentally, I do not have any s OS 9 files on my original ibook. I have repaired permissions.

    Hi John, welcome to Apple Discussions
    One possible fix, clear your System and Kernel Caches on the firewire drive. You can do this using a Utility such as Onyx - Panther version. Restart.
    If that doesn't help, since your problem is OS X related, the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier forum would be a better place to post your problem.

  • Mac Version of PS6 Will Not Launch if Scratch Disk is Not Set to Boot Drive

    Mac OS 10.8.2. PS6 will not launch unless the boot drive is set as the number one option for the scratch disk. Even if I choose another internal drive and set it as the number one option for PS6 it will not launch. Is there any kind of work around for this? My boot drive is only a 120GB SSD so I don't want to use it as the main scratch disk.

    Curt good idea but no go. This is a fresh install of PSCS6. I ran the Apple Disk Utility three times and Disk Warrior on the boot drive. If I leave the Scratch Disk set to the boot drive no issues, only if I change the order of the scratch disk or if I do not have the boot drive selected as a possible option for the scratch disk.
    Where is the 'ignor ownership' option found? I did a 'Get Info' and I don't see it in that window.

  • Pages won't launch on a separate drive

    I have Pages installed on my internal MBP drive, but I'm booted on an external drive running 10.8.2. Pages won't launch from the internal drive and produces a message saying I have to update or reinstall the application. The application will not launch from the external drive either. Anyone know what might be causing this?
    Thanks very much.

    You should not be having this problem. I have a pre App Store version of iWork '09 and it is installed on my internal Snow Leopard system and on my external Mountain Lion system.
    I have never had a problem running it anywhere, but obviously if it is only installed on the non-boot-up drive you are going to have problems because it relies on files installed in the current System folder. It also sounds like you may have dragged it over and it has reverted to a demo version because you never registered it for the working system.

  • Drives won't wake with HighPoint RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6Gb/s For Mac 644

    Just setting up and configuring a new 2010 12 Core Mac Pro 2.93Ghz with a HighPoint RocketRAID Quad eSATA 6Gb/s For Mac 644, and I've run into a problem. Currently, I have four WD WD600 Velociraptor drives hooked up to the card, functioning as individual drives (haven't tried RAID as of yet). OS 10.6.4, and version 1.0 of the Highpoint software.
    Anyway, the card seems to work well, but I'm having big problems when I put the computer to sleep. If it's only asleep for a short time, the drives hooked to the RocketRaid card will be there. If the sleep time is longer (a few hours or more), they will no longer be in the Finder. When I wake the computer, I do hear the drives hooked to the card spin up, but they're not there. I've tried powering the drive case on and off, and that does not bring them up. Also tried unplugging and re-plugging them, and that also does not work. Going into "more info" in About this Mac shows that the card is still there. The only way to get the drives back, though, is to restart the computer. This is a drag for me, because I use my system mainly with Logic Pro, and load huge banks of samples that take a long time to load.
    This card is supposed to be able to go to sleep. I wonder why it won't. I've sent multiple support requests to Highpoint, with no response. I'd sure like to find an eSATA 4 port card that would sleep. Unfortunately, there aren't many eSATA 3.0 6Gb/s options on the market yet.
    Any input, advice, suggestions would be welcome.

    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11163806#11163806
    Sonnet does not endorse every drive with their products, harkens back to SCSI which some people assume a drive is a drive is a drive in spite of persistent problems, and, there have always been "bugs" in Apple's AHCI and drivers.
    would suggest the FirmTek SeriTek/2ME4-E for the Apple Mac Pro. You can view its performance tables with various configurations here: http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-2me4-e/perform/
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11163806#11163806
    To quote FirmTek:
    The ability to hot swap hard disks is typically a function of the eSATA controller driver. I found the Apple Built-in AHCI driver may not always support hot swap with all SATA enclosure types. If you find this is the case with your particular dock then a restart may be required.
    The benefit of the built-in Apple AHCI driver is that it provides instant support for several SATA controllers. The downside to the AHCI driver is that it has limitations and may not work properly or at all with some configurations. In addition, if the AHCI driver does not work for you the company that sold the controller usually cannot correct the issue as the AHCI driver was not built by them.
    To address these issues FirmTek designed a driver for the 6G based SeriTek/e6G that allows it to properly hot swap with direct connect and Oxford 936/946 based enclosures. In addition, the new FirmTek driver also supports port multiplier based enclosures like the SeriTek/5PM. A dedicated driver can provide extra features that may not be available with the AHCI driver.
    A 4-port card for direct connect, a 2-port card for what? PM case? SSDs?

    Another user was totally unhappy with the HP RR and was looking for ideas, I gave him a bunch, but never returned to follow up on their thread. So no idea or help there. I think CalDigit to drive 8/12-bay using mini-SAS interface.

  • H77MA-G43 with Highpoint Rocketraid 640 - Not posting

    Hi All,
    I recently brought a H77MA-G43 and built a system running VMware ESXi which runs fine. However when I try to add a Highpoint Rocketraid 640 which works on my main PC (Asus M/B) the system wont post. I've tried numerous variations of the Bios settings for the Highpoint card but cannot find anything on the H77MA-G43 bios which would get the card working.
    I have put a HP P212 Raid card on the mainboard which works fine (except for VMdirectpath I/O (works but the VM's don't see the HP card properly, I can troubleshoot this myself)) but I really do need the Highpoint functioning for the additional SATA 6Gbs ports.
    A previous bios (v1.3) included support for the Rocket 620X1 Gen2 card so I thought an update to the latest bios 1.4 would help but it did not.
    Does anyone have any experience or ideas on troubleshooting this sort of problem or how I go about requesting this issue to be resolved or added to a future Bios?
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I've got similar MB (Z77) and P212
    but Raid is not working - i see the P212 initialization during boot and nowhere else - windows, linux, ESXi. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161815.0)
    Don't think this is a RAM or HDD problem...
    What Cpu do you use?
    Hi Andyrus,
    I was planning to update this forum on my ESXi antics on my motherboard and good thing I did otherwise I would never had replied.
    The CPU I have is a i5 3550, my HP P212 has a cache module but no BBWC. 16GB RAM installed (I'm at work so I cant check the brand).
    http://ark.intel.com/products/65516/Intel-Core-i5-3550-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz
    ESXi detects it under storage controllers and I could use it without issue. I always had arrays configured when booting, do you?
    I would try the 'How To Contact MSI' link in this thread to contact MSI, they turned around a beta bios very quickly (be warned the English isn't great but they are helpful).

  • HELP!!  HighPoint RocketRAID 4322

    Hi guys,
    I am purchasing a new system (Two 2.93GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon) and I would like to know if the HighPoint RocketRAID 4322...
    1. is completely compatible with this system?
    2. is capable of controlling 4 WD VelociRaptor 300GB (internal)?
    3. what are the external ports? Appears to be 2x eSata and 1x ethernet, is this correct?
    OR
    Should I just get the Caldigit raid card to be sure to be sure
    Thanks in advance,
    ozmo

    Not sure if you have found solution to your problem... but just in case...
    Had a number of disappointments with the RR2322...
    The biggest is the sleep issue... but it does seem to clear itself up with the EFI. I'm sure the BIOS works when a PC is sleeping, but on my mac it meant that the drives would disconnect when the machine came back to from sleep and had trouble accessing the WebGUI.
    Why would they not mention the EFI - I have no idea. Having to go to the Chinese site to find the EFI for my card, no instructions, no documentation - its just useless. The US site and the Mac site does not list the EFI at all for my card model.
    In any event, found it by mistake and updated to the 64bits and it seemed to have worked. I'm still not happy with the software support. The site and marketing material is all deceiving (and the documentation almost non-existant). The card supports SMART (but they don't say its web based only which is useless). The card supports hot-swap (for PC only). The card supports SMTP messages (as long as its not using authenticated SMTP - good luck in finding one unless you run your own server), the errors on the event list are useless.
    Then I was going to try to address some of the short comings (which basically concentrates everything on the webgui, so no log on the console, no system SMART, no hot-swap etc) by using the CLI and creating my own scrips and command... well - HighPoint does offers CLI (Linux, BSD and Windows) but none for the Mac.
    A very under-supported card... which I was very surprised as people seem to like them for OS X but no one talks about all the basic shortcomings and basic instructions to use these cards. I'm about to regret the purchase but I'll see if I can scrip some commands interacting with the web interface to make it work.
    So, yes - install the EFI and that should at least help you a bit (I hope - it did me for at least one issue).

  • HighPoint RocketRAID 2322 v1.1.1 and OS X Yosemite?!

    Help! I have no access to my 32 TB archive, I can not install the driver for the HighPoint RocketRAID 2322 v1.1.1 under OS X Yosemite?!

    Sorry for taking forever to reply...
    I've shared the old one at:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3627431/HighPointRR-KEXT-4.0.0/HighPointRR_4 .0.0.kext.tar.gz
    First off, anyone using it is doing so at their own peril, and should be familiar with recovery procedures like rebuilding the system cache if this makes their system unbootable.
    To install the older 4.0.0 HighPointRR.kext...
    Open ''Terminal.app' and sudo into the root user with 'sudo -i'
    Extract the contents of the archive linked above to: /Library/Extensions. It should overwrite the newer version that comes bundle with OS X Yosemite. You may want to copy the newer version somewhere safe before extracting the older one into place.
    Ensure that the newly replaced '/Library/Extensions/HighPointRR.kext' is owned by 'root:wheel'. (If doing this from the CLI in Terminal, be sure to specify the recursive '-R' flag, so that it recurses down into the package when changing ownership.)
    In case this causes your partition to become unbootable, make sure you have an accessible 'Rescue Partition', or have a bootable USB key with Terminal.app on it.
    Reboot. If all goes well, the older 4.0.0 driver should load, and your devices should be accessible.
    To verify that it loaded, you should go into System Information and check both the 'Hardware / PCI Cards' to see if the driver is now loading, and the 'Software / Extensions' and look up 'HighPointRR' and verify that it's version 4.0.0 and looking correct (Ie, dependencies resolved, signed, etc...
    If there's something wrong, I believe that the 'Software / Extensions' view will tell you what the problem is. (Ex. whether the permissions are correct, since if they aren't the kernel will refuse to load the kext...)
    If the partition becomes unbootable (I've only had this happen to me once), it is probably necessary to reset the kernel extension cache. This is where the Rescue Partition or the Bootable USB Key comes in. Best to Google for the exact process. But, from memory I believe that all this involves is booting into the Rescue Partition/USB Key, opening terminal, and touching both of the extension directories...
         'touch /System/Library/Extensions && touch /Library/Extensions'
    Hope that helps.

  • HighPoint RocketRAID 3522 RAID card Crisis

    Yesterday I installed a brand new HighPoint RocketRAID 3522 card in a 2008 MacPro3,1 running Mac OS X 10.5.8. Connected to this card is an Enhance Technology EnhanceBOX E4 MS containing 4 1TB Western Digital RE3 (WD1002FBYS-02A6B0; Revision 03.00C06 ) also brand new.
    The HighPoint 3522 Storage Health Inspector shows all 4 disks with Status OK and 0 Bad Sectors. The Array was created after initializing all 4 disks and is now RAID 5 with 3.00 TB in Write Through mode with Block Size of 16k and Sector Size of 512BHPT and its status is Normal.
    The Crisis is that I have lost access to the RAID twice in the past 24 hours. The first time I was copying files to the RAID and noticed that 20 directories disappeared. I ran DiskWarrior I received the following Error Message: Disk warrior can not rebuild the disk. Error 2351,-36. Please mount the preview and check your files.
    I contacted Alsoft Tech Support and received the following Reply: There is a physical problem with this RAID. Likely, one of the hard drives is starting to physically fail. Run DiskWarrior again.
    At the Report, click the Preview button and utilize the Preview function to copy your files to another hard drive.
    I followed his instructions and copied the data back to a single 1TB drive.
    Believing that the problem was just a fluke, I went into maintenance and deleted the Array. I reinitialized all 4 disks and created a new Array. Went into Disk Utility and created 1 Partition and formatted it Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Once this was done, I copied the data back to the RAID.
    To ensure that everything was OK, I opened Disk Utility and ran Verify Disk with the resulting errors: "Invalid catalog record type. Volume Check failed. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed."
    I then ran DiskWarrior again and it shows up as "Unknown Disk". The only option I had was to rebuild the directory and on Step 6: Overlapped files detected: 4. Four hours later I came back to the MacPro and the system was frozen. I rebooted and restarted DiskWarrior and is once again 50% through Rebuilding Directory in Step 6: Overlapped files detected: 4.
    Console messages from Diskwarrior, which has also been reported to Alsoft are:

    I have a RAID that I can't access, uncertain about which piece of hardware is the culprit as I haven't found a smoking gun.
    Thus, I need to ask for help from those with more knowledge and experience as to what recommended steps should I follow to ensure this issue gets resolved and I don't loose any further data.

    I read your post with great interest, because a similar thing happened to me. My Enhance E8-MS RAID would just freeze, and double-clicking my drive icons would result in a blank window. I couldn't reboot without holding the Mac power button down. I eventually eliminated suspects and determined my 3522 was bad. That was just the beginning. The tech support people at Highpoint are morons. They asked for an RMA three times on three different days. They could only manage one correspondence per day. I sent in one for each request, after the third time, I sent 20 in to make sure they got it. I asked to speak to a human, and that request was ignored. Then they asked me for a copy of my invoice three times on three different days. They got 20 copies of that, too, just to keep them from asking again. They took another day to ask for my serial number. Finally, after TWO WEEKS of this lunacy, they issued me an RMA. Then, three days after they signed the Fedex receipt for my card, they shipped me a replacement. I'll be getting it the day after tomorrow.
    I will have been without my HBA for three weeks.
    Who can run a business dependent on a RAID with this poor level of service?
    I would be ready to go ballistic if I hadn't had a friend with a spare 3522 that he loaned me. This proved that my card was bad, because when I put his card in, my problems vanished. So, Highpoint Tech Support was absolutely worthless at helping me diagnose my problem. I gave them all the info they needed on my first message to them. But, they had to jack me around for two weeks before they'd take any action.
    I wish I could stop doing business with them for life, but curiously enough, they seem to make the most fully featured and easy to use HBA for the Mac, based on my cursory research into LSI, Adaptec, ATTO, and Areca.
    But, based on our experience, yours and mine, it appears their quality control leaves a lot to be desired.
    If my card goes bad again, I guess I'll just buy another one and have it shipped overnight, rather than wait another three weeks. Then, I'll have a spare. I don't trust their products, or their employees.
    Clearly, I'm upset about this and venting. And, I don't have any advice for any would-be customers of HighPoint, other than "heads up." Until somebody else does a better job of supporting Mac, HPT may be a necessary evil.

  • Photoshop CC trial (Mac) not launching...

    Downloading the Photoshop CC trial app and have spent the last three hours trying to get the darn app to work... it launches for a second or two and than stalls in its tracks and just quits.
    I've tried all the usual Mac troubleshooting steps, plus all that I could find on net (signing out, quiting the CC app, and than trying again)... same results! PS CC just will NOT launch long enough for me to even try anything. Maddening!!!
    I have PS CS6 which works without a hitch. I'm at a loss for what else to try. Even went as far as reinstalling the OS (10.8.4). All to no avail. Anybody got any ideas?
    New 3.4 GHz, 27in iMac... 32 gb memory, 3 TB Harddrive with 256Gb Fusion drive... Nvidia Geforce GTX 680MX.
    TIA

    No, at least none that I can find. But just to be sure, I did an unistall/reinstall when I couldn't get PS CC to stay open long enough to even open anything with it.
    Something is definately wrong because I haven't once gotten the usual "this is a trial (so many days left) countdown screen" on launch.
    I'm stumped!
    Is there any way to do a complete, clean uninstall and try again?

     So the original installation of the desktop manager software loaded in January 2009 did not correctly function with Outlook.

    "So something happened". We can only go on your description of the problem. If you have no idea what happened  i couldn't possibly know.  The only "guess" would be an there was an auto update to existing software or you have added software.
    3.  I went to BB and loaded the "Fix" for PC.  Also, this did not Launch BB DM6.
    4.  Unloaded the BB DM6 with the Windows XP Control Panel "Remove Program".  Re-Booted the PC.  Then, went to BB and reloaded the BB DM6.  Same error message and no Launch.
    Try using the repair/modify option in the Remove Program function on the DM installation currently loaded on the PC.
    5.  I am far from the "Techie" that the respondants to this Problem are!!  I am a SIMPLE End User of this BB Storm having mucho problems ... all of a sudden ... last week after using BB DM6 without the problems.
    6.  What can a SIMPLE, non-techie End User do?  From the Respondants Postings .. I am reading about Loading Roxio for BB DM from the Roxio website?  Also, reading about that the Unload from the Windows XP Control Panel, Remove Programs, is incomplete for the removal of the BB DM6.  I am being directed to removing 'hidden' files/keys as directed in a BB Problem Solving Posting for the CLEAN Removal of BB DM6--- which is surely not written for the SIMPLE, non-techie End User!!
    The error indicates a problem with some Roxio software. If you were using DM with Media manager prior Roxio was a part of that software, or you are running Roxio software.The Roxio information I gave you was to remove Roxio drivers not load Roxio software.
    In your description of the January 2009 install  there were problems with the install that were never correctly addressed. What we are suggesting is to remove all traces of the Various installation of desktop manager which includes editing the registry. That is why using Windows remove programs is not sufficient.
    Once complete you will be installing a fresh copy of DM on your system, this will ensure that the DM software can correctly integrate wit both Windows and MS Outlook
    The install procedure is SUGGESTED as the best resolution to your problem. Whether you run it or not is your decision.
    7.  In simple non-Techie language for this SIMPLE, non-techie End User ... what can I do to fix the problem and be able to launch BB DM6 from my Windows XP PC??
     This is as plain "non-techie" as I can write it.
    Thanks,

  • Ovi Maps does not launch anymore on my 5800 Xpress...

    I have the latest ovi maps for my nokia 5800 (3.06, and also the latest firmware of the 5800), and everything was working fine until yesterday when I click the Map icon, the application is not launching... I did not install anything new, it just does not want to launch the application (no error message, just like i did not press the icon). I had the same issue couple of weeks ago when suddenly the ovi maps stopped working (i had to reset my phone and reinstall everything), and today it's the same all over again...
    Do you have any idea how to fix this? (i have around 40Mo left in my phone memory, so there should not be any memory problem i guess....)
    Thanks!

    @XanderVDB
    Presumably you have Ovi Maps v3.06 (688) installed http://nds1.nokia.com/files/support/global/phones/software/ ovi_maps_installer_3.06_11wk23_b05_s60_5...
    Don't know whether you restored from a backup after resetting device and have re-introduced a problem.
    Perhaps try removing E:\Cities + .qf fle from 5800 and store safely on PC desktop, as empty folder structure re-created when you next open Ovi Maps application.

  • I am trying to launch my external hard drive through maxtor central access manager.  It will not launch and I keep receiving a KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE error.  Through discussion threads, it sounds like it may be a disk utility, repair issue.  Please advis

    I navigated to disk utility and verified disk, which returned no errors.

    I'm not sure what you mean when you say that you're "trying to launch" an external hard drive, but you don't need Maxtors software to mount it on the desktop. Is this a new drive? Have you formatted it using Disk Utility?

  • The "edit in" does not launch if I make any develop changes.  I am using LR 5.6 and all of my plug ins are properly installed, up to date and were working just fine.  Edit in does work if I reset the image or load an unmodified DNG.

    I am using LR5.6 on a Windows 7 machine with plenty of memory.  LR, CS5 and all of my plug ins have been working just fine.  Tonight I've found that if I make any kind of significant adjustments to an image, and the go to "Edit in.." that function does not launch.  I can use the Edit in command on an unmodified image, or if I reset the modified image.  I have the issue with all of my plug ins, including Photoshop, all of the Nik software, RadLab, and OnOne.  I believe that all of the plug ins are current.  I've been working with them yesterday and I had no issue.  I cannot recall anything that has changed since then, and I have not installed any software.  I'm at a loss!!  Please help!

    I have traced the problem to a corrupted profile.  When I captured the images in question, I also used Color Cherckr to create a profile for processing.  When I apply that profile to the adjustments I make, I can no longer "Edit In".  If I use another profile, even one that I created using Color Checkr at a different point in time, I don't have the issue.  Something seems to have corrupted the new profile.  I will re-create the profile and see if the issue is resolved.
