K7N2 how setup IDE RAID ?

Yup, again someone asking about the 3rd IDE cnnector of the K7N2 Delta-iLSR.
I want to create an array for my 2 WD 80GB HD's, I have one connected to the IDE 1 and one to IDE 3. I've read here that I have to press ctrl + f at boot to create an array but when I try to build an array it says that there's only 1 drive available for the array ? How can you build a stripe array for performance when you can only connect 1 drive ? My previous RAID experience was with my KT3 Ultra-ARU mainboard and there I was able to connect 2 drives and build an array of 80g (2 hd's of 40). Now I want to build an array of 160 (2 hd's of 80) but I don't understand why you need a hacked BIOS do do so ? Why place a 3rd "RAID"ide connector on the board if you can't use it ? I assume that when I build the array with only one drive there's not going to be a performance increase...
So my question: how can I create a stripe array with me 2 WD 80gb hd's without the use of any hacked BIOS ?
thx !

Yeah, I was afraid you were going to say that... But why did MSI put it there in the first place ? Seems a bit odd, doesn't it ? Anyway I have flashed the hacked BIOS and have the 2 drives connected on the 3rd IDE and everything runs great !
thx once again.

K7N2-ILSR IDE Raid

Dear Tech Wizards,
Stupid little question...
Any performance issues with hooking up two IDE drives (ATA 133) onto the IDE 3 Raid connection on the K7N2-ILSR MB?
Just curious since my ASUS board (P4PE) using individual IDE connectors for the IDE setup (you know, one drive, one connector).
This is my foray into MSI territory. I have always used ASUS boards in the past. I like the layout of this board since it has the new NForce chip set and IDE Raid. When I'm done, I'll have 2 GByte DDR 2700 RAM (matched 1 GByte chips), AMD XP 3000+ Barton, and two 120 MByte Maxtors (240 GByte) plus one other 120 GByte Maxtor on another IDE line for the OS. Raids are tempermental and it is best not to have all your eggs in one basket. I have found that AMD chips just kick ass for numerical computations. They are about 30% faster than Intel's. AMD's integer calculation capabilities are much, much better.
Thanks a bunch,
George

Too bad.
I agree !! Quote

I can tell you more, if you like to.Quote
Ohhh well -- so it goes in the world of computing.

So, it looks like it is back to the trenches to find a decent MB that has IDE RAID and the NForce Ultra 400 chipset.
What about a mainboard without RAID. I don't think you get a mainboard with full-onboard-raid ever. That's the marketing of promise, highpoint et al. If I knew it former, I would have bought the delta K7N2-ILS. Onboard VGA and onboard RAID are not the best choice !!

[915 Series] How do I enable the IDE raid Slots (the yellow ones)

On the Bios there is an option to enable the onboard raid slots, but whem I
enable it, noting happens, and in the next restart, this item doen't show in
the bios menu.
I read on the forum that this problem appened to other owners of this
motherboard, but I couldn't find any solution.
I've already installed the Via IDE Raid Drivers in "»Windows install »F6."
When I tried to install the upgrade of this drivers form the Drives&
utilities CD, a message apeard saying that it could't find the hardware, so I
installed them anyway from a floppy disk in "»Windows install »F6."
I have connected to the blue IDE slot one IDE drive and one DVD drive, and
in the second slot(yellow), another IDE drive.I've tried to exange the drive
positions but the drives on the raid slots where never recognized.
I know from the forums that others have solved this problem, so I think this
is not a mainboard mailfunction.
Please someone help me in this issue.
Thank you.

Tanks everyone
I also tried that procedure but I thik i have a problem in Bios or in the motherboard.
When I enable The raid controler in Bios this Item just disapears form the options, next time I restart.
Strange, no?
No mater I took the computer to the shop where I bought the Moterboard and monday, I hope I have good News.
At that time I'll give you notice of what's happening.
See you

HOW TO install RAID/ AHCI 975x PUE Driver Guide

As below on how to install the matrix driver, there is no 'how to install on a system not already preconfigured with raid/AHCI'. This driver creates a F6 Floppy disc, why? because windows will not recognise your hard in AHCI mode without the driver installed. This is why we get a reboot with AHCI enabled. It gets to a point then when windows loads with no driver it reboots. If you try to load the driver first, the hard ware has not been enabled so there is nothing to install. Reinstall Windows is the only way.
* 5. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
5.1 General Installation Notes
1. If you are installing the operating system on a system
configured for RAID or AHCI mode, you must pre-install
the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager driver using the
F6 installation method described in section 5.3.
2. The 'Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility'
must be installed on the system after a supported
Microsoft* Windows* operating system has been installed.
3. To install the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager,
double-click on the self-extracting and self-installing
setup file and answer all prompts presented.
4. By default, all installed files (readme.txt, help, etc.)
are copied to the following path:
<bootdrive>\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager
5.2 InstallShield* Installation from Hard Drive or CD-ROM
Note: This method is applicable to systems configured for
RAID or AHCI mode.
1. Download the Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager setup file
and double-click to self-extract and to begin the setup
process.
2. The 'Welcome' window appears. Click on the Next button
to continue.
3. The 'Uninstallation Warning' window appears. Click on
the Next button to continue.
4. The 'Software License Agreement' window appears. If you
agree to these terms, click on the Yes button to
continue.
5. The 'Choose Destination Location' window appears.
Click on the Next button to continue.
6. The 'Select Program Folder' window appears. Click on
the Next button to continue installing the driver.
7. If the InstallShield* Wizard Complete window is shown
without a prompt to restart the system, click the Finish
button and proceed to step 8. If it is shown with a
prompt to restart the system, click 'Yes, I want to
restart my computer now.' (the default selection) and
click the Finish button. Once the system has restarted,
proceed to step 8.
8. To verify that the driver was loaded correctly, refer
to Section 6.
5.3 Pre-Installation Using the F6 Method
Note:
The Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped if you use the F6 Floppy
disk utility provided by Intel. This utility can also be
downloaded from the following website. These methods
are applicable to systems configured for RAID or
AHCI mode.
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df/Product_Filter.asp?ProductID=1809
1. Extract all driver files from the installation package.
See Section 7.2 for instructions on extracting the
files.
2. Create a floppy containing the following files in the root directory:
iaAhci.inf, iaAhci.cat,
iaStor.inf, iaStor.cat,
iaStor.sys, and
TxtSetup.oem.
3. At the beginning of the operating system installation, press F6
to install a third party SCSI or RAID driver.
4. When prompted, select 'S' to Specify Additional Device.
5. When prompted, insert the floppy disk you created in
step 2 and press Enter.
6. At this point you should be presented with a selection
for one of the following depending on your hardware
version and configuration:
- Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
- Intel(R) 82801GR/GH SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH7R/DH)
- Intel(R) 82801FR SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
- Intel(R) 82801FR SATA AHCI Controller (Desktop ICH6R)
- Intel(R) 82801FBM SATA AHCI Controller (Mobile ICH6M)
- Intel(R) 82801ER SATA RAID Controller (Desktop ICH5R)
- Intel(R) 6300ESB SATA RAID Controller
7. Highlight the selection that is appropriate for the
hardware in your system and press Enter.
8. Press Enter again to continue. Leave the floppy disk in
the system until the next reboot as the software will
need to be copied from the floppy disk again when setup
is copying files

Well I went for it, RAID that is. I borrowed a 300GB SATA II Seagate Barracuda from work to backup to and got started. I shall layout how I did it for those having trouble.
So my old config was Maxtor SATA II 80 DiamondMax system drive and a Maxtor SATA I 250GB DiamondMax for Data. Now with the 300GB SATA II to backup to and running in IDE mode enhanced with speed disabled in bios. HDTach benchmarking is in above posts for these drives.
I copied all that data I wanted to extra drive and made a boot floppy and copied the files from the 975xPUE CD for the Intel RAID controller.
CDROM:\IDE\Intel\ICH7R\Floppy\32
Now I shut down my system, removed the bachup drive and entered the bios.
*I set back all my setting to default, no overclock.
*Integrated peripherals/Onboard JMB361 mode: Disabled JMicron controller
*Intergrated peripherals/SATA Devices Configuration/SATA Mode/ Set to RAID,
*SATA Port Speed/Disabled.
*Set system to boot from CDrom.
I put in my floppy and the XP CD and rebooted, CTRL +I to enter the Intel RAID setup and first thing I found out was that with my 80GB and 250GB drives in a RAID 0, I was getting 152GB of a logical drive. So I setup the RAID and rebooted.
80GB+250GB=152GB RAID 0 (I have about 200GB backed up, so I going to have to get another drive, SATA II 300 maybe)
Now the system booted off the XP CD and as it started to load, it read the floppy and I DID not press F6. I noticed that just before the setup screen the system loaded the driver automatically from the floppy. And low and behold it recognised my hard drive 152GB and I kicked off the install.
* Note: After Setup had finished formatting the partition, the system loaded the drivers from the floppy again and then started copying files from the CD before restarting to boot from the hard drive. So if you had already removed the floppy, the drivers for the Intel RAID controller would not be loaded and the second stage of install would never get started, blue screen or not recognise you hard drive.
The rest of the install went very quick and I installed all the drivers and NOW for the juicy bits.
Ok so I thought, how am I going to read my backup drive which is IDE/SATA on my system if it is in RAID. So I connected the drive to the Jmicron SATA port 5 enabled the JMicron controller in the bios and set it to IDE.
*NOTE: After I rebooted the Intel RAID had reverted back to IDE so I had to go back into the bios again and set it back to RAID. When I rebooted I got the Intel RAID slash screen and then the JMicon one showing me the 300GB and asking my to press a button to continue. Quite abit of extra startup time with both enabled.
Windows loaded fine and both my C: 152GB RAID 0 and D: 300GB were there, but the 300GB was showing as a removable device! I know there is a reg fix for that somewhere.
Benchmarking: This is the best bit!
Maxtor Diamond 80GB SATA II and 250GB SATA I = 150GB Logical RAID 0 test with HDTach 3, 8mb test:
Burst Speed : 320.9 mb/s
Average Read : 120.3 mb/s
Now that is some difference from IDE enhanced so well worth the effort!
IDE: Burst Speed: 215.3mb/s
Average Read: 59.0mb/s
Now I also tested the Seagate 300GB SATA II drive which is connected to the JMicron controller in IDE mode and the results show that the JMicron does not support SATA II drives but maxes out SATA I: so even if I do buy and extra drive will I be able to add it to the RAID 0 or will I be stuck with SATA I speeds on the JMicrom controller. No doubt I will soon find out.
Seagate: Burst Speed: 150.5 mb/s
Average Read: 50.5 mb/s
Thanks for the tip Insomniac34

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??

How many IDE drives & CDrom can be installed with SATA drives??
i have 2 IDE hard disks & 2 CDROM drives: can install SATA hard disk added to these drives or do i have to remove some???
& if it can be added, can i install 2 SATA drives???
THX in advance

The 3 versions of this board that are available are:
875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0)
875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)
All of these boards will have the following ports provider by the chipsets ICH5R south bridge.
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
2 x PATA (Supporting 4 IDE devices)
All 6 of these can be used at the same time (provided you are using win XP or 2K) you just need to make sure yor BIOS is set right.
->INTEGRATED PERIPHERALS
->ON-CHIP IDE CONFIG
ATA CONFIG: S-ATA ONLY or P-ATA ONLY
S-ATA/P-ATA KEEP ENABLED: YES
OPERATE MODE:
If you set to "legacy mode" S-ATA are set to channel 1 and 2 and P-ATA to channel 3 and 4. If you set to "native mode" P-ATA are channel 1 and 2 and S-ATA 3 and 4. You can only use the raid functionfon SATA in native mode.
If you have the 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0) you will also have the following ports provided by the Promise PDC20378 PCI controller:
2 x SATA (Supporting 2 SATA HDD drives)
1 x PATA (Supporting 1 Master IDE HDD drive)
The PATA port is limited to 1 Master HDD by the lite BIOS. This can in theory be upgraded to the full BIOS supporting a master and a slave, but this may obviously void your warranty.
So the answer to your origional question is:
2 x SATA HDDs and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) or 875P Neo-LSR (PCB 1.0)
or
4 x SATA HDDs, 1 x IDE HDD (2 if you modify the BIOS) and 4 x IDE HDD/CDROM if you have 875P Neo-FIS2R (PCB 1.0)

Checking IDE Raid

Hi all,
I have a 6330 V3 running raid. Initailly I attempted to install Win2k OS directly on the Raid bus but I kept getting a file copy error while the promise drivers (v3.7) where read from the floppy. The floppy was good but installing this way would not work for me so I took option 2 install the OS and promise drivers on Hdisc 1 and formating Hdisk2 using my normal IDE bus and after the OS + promise drivers where configured swapover the drives to the raid IDE. Everything went well I chained my 2 quantum as fireball as master and slave on 1 of the promise raid buses and an array was automatically created on rebooting a stripe array (for performace) was created and both discs detected.
My query is this in explorer I can still see both raid drives as indivdual drives (c: + d:) is this correct. I can see the data on d: and its empty am I using this correctly or are my disc working indepentently of another. I assumed once an array (for performace) was created I would only be able to see one of the disks. How does a perfomance ide raid work if it does not appear to put any data onto the second drive?
Any help gratefully recieved.
Regards
Redfive
Also I have a 80 Gb WD se on my secondary main IDE sharing with my CD writer will this slow down my WD HD, or would I be better off putting it on the primary IDE or does it make no difference.

The link relates to a dif mobo and a dif promise chipset although the instructions where much clearer than the ones in the promise manual which I find real crap. I am still unsure if my raid is working at all (in raid mode). On my board I just boot up and automaticly the promise chipset creates the array and detects both discs. I have my disc in the same IDE master and slave so does this mean they are not working properly ?

Linux Redhat 7.3 Support IDE RAID Promise PDC20276 "845E Max2 LR

845E Max2 LR (MS-6398E) Motherboard with onboard PDC20276
I Must have linux redhat 7.3 support for onboard
PROMISE IDE RAID -- if it was clearly supported I
could build a serious web farm or render farm with
this nicely priced powerhouse of a motherboard.
I emailed MSICOMPUTER.com to see if they support it since web site has no
specific mention of Linux Redhat 7.3 support.
Very low cost high performing MBoard -- I am hoping to build a web farm using the
mirroring capability of the onboard chip
Please advise if you know of anyone with success or hints.
I am assembling it and about to try -- no doc on Promise.com or redhat.com or msicomputer.com
or anywhere.
promise.com site says mboard maker must support onboard promise chips. promise.com web site
says promise.com will not support mboard makers.
Thanks In Advance

(FastTrak100 Lite motherboard-embedded solutions or FastTrak100TX2)
running with Linux kernel versions 2.4.x, be aware of additional
instructions to be performed.
See Item 1.3 below for description of the issue which use of the
driver and instructions solves.
1.2 Support List
PDC20262 FastTrak66
PDC20265R FastTrak100 Lite
PDC20267 FastTrak100
PDC20270 FastTrak LP/TX2/TX4

1.3 Linux kernel 2.4.x ATA issue on FastTrak Series PDC20265R/PDC20270
Linux Kernels 2.4.x misidentifies PDC20265R/PDC20270 (FastTrak 100 Lite
motherboard-embedded solution/FastTrak100TX2) cards and/or chips as simple
IDE controllers. This results in the built-in Linux IDE driver trying to
handle the controller and can prevent the proper FastTrak ATA RAID driver
to be loaded. Follow the installation instructions AND the parameter
commands referred to in the Notes section.
This called "IDE issue."

III. For my RAID farm, render farm, I have multiple
20 GB IBM IDE/100 hard drives, so I connected one
of them to a regular (non-RAID) IDE port, booted from CDROM and sucessfully installed Redhat 7.3 selecting very simple defaults. Tried multiple times, clean shutdown, clean reboot, all OK, no surprises. Great.
Then after clean shutdown, I removed ths drive from
the IDE connector and moved it to the first RAID IDE
conenctor. Then I added an identical blank drive to the
second RAID IDE connector. The boot process guided
me to select between "Performance" mode (striping)
versus "Security" mode (mirroring). I selected mirroring
purely so that I do not have to panic when a drive fails, I can take my time in replacing the falty drive and no
one will ever have noticed a problem.
Upon reboot, it started to clear boot but locked up
within a few seconds after starting to spew boot messages.
I would have expected that Linux would have recognized the RAID array as some standard
supported SCSI drive.
I guessed the promise engineers didn't think of
adding a BIOS option to force the chip to emulate
some simple cheap reliable SCSI drive (maybe the next
motherboard support chip), so I imagined that I would
have to make sure PDC20276 (MBFastTrak133 Lite)
support is added.
Then I returned the drive to the IDE (non-RAID) port,
rebooted successfully, unzipped rhup-ftb22.zip into
a directory and ran the following command:
# sh install
Looking at install, it seems to take a peak in
the following directory:
/lib/modules
and sees the name "2.4.18" in mine just to figure
out where to copy "FastTrak.o" (/lib/modules/.../kernel/drivers/scsi in my case).
Then it determines that /etc/lilo.conf is not there
and confirms that /boot/grub/grub.conf exists and
append the following text to the "kernel" line:
ide0=0x1f0,0x3f6,14 ide1=0x170,0x376,15 ide2=0 ide3=0 ide4=0 ide5=0 ide6=0 ide7=0 ide8=0 ide9=0
then inserts the following modules:
FastTrak
scsi_mod
sd_mod
QUESTION: Should I now expect to boot OK by removing the drive from the IDE (non-RAID), moving to
first RAID port, adding second blank identical IDE drive
to second RAID port?
BEFORE DOING THAT: Before trying, for fun, I added two blanks to the RAID ports and booted from the IDE
(non-RAID), yes three IDE drives altogether.
Here is what I now see in the dmesg:
---- snip ----

Neo 2 Platinum ide raid driver

Hello everyone
I have a K8N Neo 2 Platinum mainboard and I want to set up 2 times 160 gig ide in raid 0 with the onboard ide raid controller.
Xp will be installed on it. I know normally you need to have an raid driver to install the raid controller you want to use. I looked on the cd and the driver site of msi but the only driver I found was the SATA raid driver. Does this mean that the Windows XP setup doens't need an ide RAID driver at all or accept it with the usual driver when you hit f6 ?
waiting for your reply
thnks allready
Quintijn

From http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=607
• NV RAID (Software)
• Supports up to 4 SATA & 2 ATA133 Hard drives
- RAID O or 1, 0+1, JBOD is supported
- RAID function work w/ATA133 + SATA H/D or 2 SATA H/D
So - Yes, it should work just load the drivers with F6 after you select the disks to RAID using F10 at boot.

Can't boot from IDE RAID 0 on K7D

I'm running the K7D with the latest BIOS, with two MP 2000+ processors. In PCI32 slot 1 is my adaptec 1200A IDE RAID controller, with one WD Caviar 1200JB set as the master drive on each of the card's IDE channels.
With the drives set for RAID 1 (mirroring), I have no problems. I can install Windows 2000 Professional, and I used it for weeks with no significant problems.
With the drives set for RAID 0 (striping), Windows 2000 installs just fine, but the K7D will not boot from the array. If I boot from a floppy or a CDROM, The Win2K boot loader has no problems loading win2k from the RAID 0 set. But the K7D does not find an MBR on the array.
Where could the problem lie? My Award BIOS boot order is CDROM, SCSI, HDD0. The array is marked as bootable in the RAID card setup.
Thanks --
Neil

How setup back the Controller from HA SKU mode into standalone Controller

Hello
I have two 5504 Controller. Original Liceses 100 per Controller. At the beginning the Controllers were running standalone as a Primary and secondary in a Mobility domain. Now they are running in a HA Pairing mode. One Controller as the Primary an the second as the Standby in the redundancy HA SKU mode. The first step SSO disable is done.
Question: how setup back the HA SKU Standby-Controller to get again the 100 licenses?
Thanks

The HA sku will have no license at all. The WLC that is a non HA sku will have a license which is 100 per your post. Now the HA sku can work without AP SSO enabled but there is a time period that it will expire and the AP count is unlimited.
If you lost your license in the non HA sku WLC, I don't know how that would be, you would contact TAC license for that. The HA sku doesn't have any license.

See requirements for AirPrint and printers that support AirPrint here (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356):
If your printer supports AirPrint but does not work then:
Your printer might need a firmware update
Your printer must be on the same WiFi network
Your router must support Bonjour (Zero-configuration networking).
For troubleshooting:
Turn Off iPad, WiFi router (remove from power), and Printer (remove from power).
Turn on WiFi router

IDE Raid not recognised by Solaris 10 6/06

Hi,
I am new to Solaris and was trying to install Solaris 10 on my old machine which has got Intel Server Board SE7500CW2 with built in Raid (ATA-100) controller. The raid controller is Promise Technology PDC20267 ASIC.
What settings are needed to be done to allow the Solaris to recognise it?
Thanks

solaris supports raid cards based on the LSI1030 and LSI1064 controller.
Also the LSI MegaRAID 320-2x SCSI RAID Controller.
Other raid cards would only be supported if the vendor provided their own raid drivers.
But in general your better off forgetting about hardware raid and using sds software raid.
Unless you go for a quite an expensive card, software raid tends to end up being faster.
But a bit of googling turned up this
According to Sun Big Admin
(http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/sol/components/details/503.html)
, the Mylex Accelaraid 150 is reported to work with Solaris 9 04/04 to Solaris 10 03/05 (read Solaris 9 and 10 X86). The firmware and bios on the card needs to be: BIOS Version 4.10-50; Firmware 4.08-37.
Lots of other cards are listed in the HCL but you have to wade through it to work out which ones are IDE raid cards
