MacPro RAID card not initiating recovery after defective drive replaced

One of my artists is using an Early 2009 Mac Pro on 10.9.5 (13F1077). On Saturday morning, while he was not in the office, Drive 1 warned that SMART was reporting early signs of failure. The RAID card degraded the RAID set. I replaced Drive 1 and marked it as a global spare; but recovery is not initiating. I have, subsequent to installing the drive and marking it as a global spare, rebooted the Mac Pro; but the RAID Utility is not showing any Tasks running, and especially nothing about rebuilding the RAID set. As of now, the RAID set and RAID volume are not available. It appears that I can either try to preserve the data on the drives, or I can attempt to manually rebuild the RAID set; but not both. Unfortunately, the artist had all of his projects on the RAID and had not backed them up to servers at the time of the failure.

If a Disk Fails If a RAID set or volume becomes degraded because a disk has failed, you can use RAID Utility to identify the disk that needs to be replaced.
Note: If your RAID setup includes a spare drive, it is automatically incorporated into the RAID set, and the set switches from degraded to good as soon as the recovery process finishes. If there is no spare, the set will remain degraded until you replace the failed drive, and if a second drive fails before you replace the first, you could lose data.
To replace a failed disk:
1 Open RAID Utility, select the RAID set or volume that is displaying a problem status indicator, and look for a drive bay with a red status indicator. The bay numbers in RAID Utility correspond to the numbered drive bays in your Mac Pro or Xserve.
2 Replace the bad drive module.
3 Use the Make Spare command to set up the new drive as a global spare. If no spare was available when the original drive failed, the RAID card uses the new spare immediately to rebuild the affected RAID set and volumes. If a spare was available at the time of the failure, it is already incorporated into the affected RAID set, and the new spare remains available until it is needed.

MINI 110-3100 RECOVERY AFTER HARD DRIVE REPLACEMENT

I HAVE AN HP MINI 110- 3100. I'VE REPLACED THE FAILED HARD DRIVE WITH AN HP-SUPPLIED ITEM. THE HARDWARE TESTS ALL PASS. I'VE INSERTED INTO AN EXTERNAL DRIVE THE RECOVERY DISC I MADE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THE MACHINE, AND THE DISPLAY SHOWS WINDOWS LOADING. HOWEVER, IT THEN MOVES TO 'HP RECOVERY MANAGER', WHICH GIVES ME ONLY 1 OPTION: 'RUN COMPUTER CHECKUP'. WHEN SELECTED, THIS IS FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER MONO OPTION, 'OPEN A COMMAND PROMPT'. WHEN I SELECT THIS, I GET ' Administrator: x:\Windows\system32\Cmd.exe' FOLLOWED BY 'x:\Windows\RM>' AND A FLASHING CURSOR SEEKING MY (I ASSUME MS-DOS) INPUT. I'M AT A LOSS TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO - I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING HELPFUL ON THE HP OR WINDOWS WEBSITES. ANY ADVICE WILL BE HUGELY APPRECIATED.

Hi:
You won't be able to use the operating system for more than 30 days without a product key. It will just shut down after that and lock you out until you provide a key.
Your only option would be to keep reinstalling Windows every 30 days...
That is why I wrote you need to be able to read the product key.
I agree the instructions we a little bit hard to understand, but I was able to make an installation flash drive that allows me to choose several variations of W7 32 bit to install -- including Starter. I was able to find the ei.cfg file.
Go to your device manager. Are there any devices labeled with little yellow ! marks?
If so, please click on each one of them and post the hardware ID's.
If you don't know how to do that, please read the info at the link below:

System Recovery After Hard Drive Replacement

I have a HP Pavilion dv6000 that the hard drive crashed on. I purchased a new hard drive for the laptop, but since the Windows Vista operating system and all the factory installed programs were on the Recovery Partition of the bad hard drive, I have no way to recovery the necessary files I need to restore it. Is there any way to get the necessary files/programs to restore the system to factory settings?
Please Help!
Thanks,
Selena

Hi:
You can probably still get a set from this vendor at the link below.
http://www.computersurgeons.com/
With regard to XP...yes, it will probably work but it may not be easy to do.
I would need to know the full model number of your dv6000 to give you the instructions to install XP because they are different depending on model series.

Recovery after hard drive replacement-pavilion g7

hard drive died on a g7-1219wm notebook. replaced with intel SSD. tried to use recovery discs (made from this pc) to get back to original state. recovery says the discs weren't made with this computer and recovery can not continue.
any ideas or clues?

Hi:
The only thing I can think of that you can do is this...
If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to DVD's for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

Recovery after hard drive replacement - pavillion dv6 notebook

Hi,
I am just about to replace a faulty hard drive on my pc but I am unsure how to proceed with the windows recovery process. I was wondering if I need to contact HP for a recovery set despite the fact I have a recovery (D: ) drive on my laptop. I am replacing the local hard disk (C: ) and was wondering if the recovery drive on my pc is sufficient to conduct the recovery process?
Thanks for your help,
This question was solved.

Hi,
Yes, if your HDD is failing, it's unlikely you would be able to create a viable set of Recovery Media.
Your options are either to purchase a set of Recovery Media from HP, or create a 'retail' Windows 7 installation disc and activate this from the key on your COA label as detailed previously.

MacPro Raid Card single drive size limit

OK this is a follow up to a previous question about the upper size limit of a single HD that the Macpro Raid card can address.
It was pointed out to me that "The Apple RAID card cannot address more than 2.2TB of a drive" by Mr. Grant Bennet-Alder. So I am assuming that a 2TB SAS will work.
I plan to RMA the 4TB drive (that was not recognised), so my question is will this drive work instead?
Seagate Constellation ES 2TB 6GB/S SAS 7200RPM 3.5in (ST2000NM0001) Hard Drive - setup as JBOD.
It's not that I don't believe what Grant has said, it's just that I don't want to RMA this drive as well, using the old wood working philosophy of 'measure twice, cut once.'
And I spent 2 hr looking for this info on Apple's support site without any luck.

can anyone pls help....

are you sure it is a vic-2fxs and not a vic2-2fxs ?
If so then either a defective card or you may have a counterfeit card (they are out there ) does card have a sticker on it that shows an american flag and made in USA ? if so it is a counterfeit card. If it is a vic2-2fxs you cannot use it in a 1751.

Xd card "not initialized"

I just started getting this error message on the LCD screeen on my Fugi S7000.
"card not initialized"
I have tried clearing the card of all media and am unsure of what to do next.
I have tried to 'repair/restore' it in the disk utility and it comes back as verified and no restoration needed...
Any advice.
I am not sure how to re-initialize this xd card.

waimeagirl:
Check your menu in the Fugi camera for a format option. Every camera will have one. I always reformat my card with the camera after each upload to my Mac. That's the safest way to clear out the card for the next use. Don't use the computer to reformat or erase.
There will be a menu option somewhere for that. The camera's manual should list it.
If you can't fine it you can try MediaRECOVER for reformatting the card. I believe you can use it in demo mode for that. Just not for recovering deleted files.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

MacPro RAID card - best drives?

Hey, anybody have any experience they'd like to share on a good set of drives to go with the Apple RAID card? I want to get 4 and I'm looking for maximum speed, but I can't break the bank, so no Raptors.
cheers,
-r

Well, save your $$ and just DON'T! get the Apple RAID card, then you could afford some decent drives.
600GB 10K VRs $279 x 2
OWC SSD 100GB x 2
As for what drives, bare in mind -
If you read the Apple Support Mac Pro link to RAID card FAQ:
Question: *Which drives does Apple support for the Mac Pro RAID Card and the Xserve RAID Card?*
Answer: Only Apple SATA drives and Promise 450GB SAS Drive modules sold through the Apple Store are supported for use with the Mac Pro RAID Card (Early 2009) and the Xserve RAID Card (Early 2009). Apple 300GB SAS Drive modules are supported with the Mac Pro RAID Card (Late 2007) and Xserve RAID Card (Early 2007). Drives must be either all Serial ATA (SATA) or all Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) drives. SSD drive modules are not recommended for the Apple RAID Card because these drives use their own on-disk cache and cannot take advantage of the protection provided by the battery-backed cache on the RAID card.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1346#faq8
People do try and use retail SATA drives, with mixed results. I have never seen anyone mix SAS and SATA.

'CRT not initialized' error after installing MS Office 2010

Hi,
I encountered 'CRT not initialized error' after installing MS Office 2010. I think that with previous version of CVI there were no problems. But, with Labwindows/CVI 2012 error has outbroken. The details are as follows.
- OS : windows 7 Enterprise (32bit)
- Labwindows/CVI (v12.0.0 (422))
- MS Office 2010 (word, powerpoint, excel)
#1. clean install windows 7 (32 bit)
#2. install Labwindows/CVI v12.0.0 and device drivers (DAQ, Motion)
#3. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#4. online update windows 7 (service pack, explorer 9, and etc)
#5. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#6. install MS Office 2010
#7. compile and run attached test program : 'CRT error'
#8. uninstall MS Office 2010
#9. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
I think there are some conflicts between office 2010 and labwindows v12.0.0. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

step7-CRT error.jpg ‏31 KB
test program.zip ‏3305 KB

More specifically, I decided that some parts of MS Office files and features of NI's motion library conflicts. Because in the attacted sample program, if I exclude NI-Motion functions then the program excutes nicely. But if I include NI-Motion fucntion, for example flex_select_signal, then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
To solve this problem I tried step by step installation check for MS Office 2010. During each step I included more optional features in MS Office and after each installation I compiled and executed my sample program. At finally, I found that the addtional part of MS Office 2010, if I install Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean), then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
Temporarly, I solved the problem with NOT installing 'Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean)' optional feature in the MS Office 2010.
Could you tell me why this problem occur?

MacPro Raid Card w/ SAS Drives is battery required?

We have a MacPro (early 2008) dual 2.8 Quad with Mac Raid Card and 4 300g SAS drives. The battery became an issue early on it was always showing low on start-ups. Now it shows failed. I am now running system with 3 drives striped raid 0. Is the battery required to be replaced? I like this system for the speed it gives us on short HD, using my original media as the back-up. I am a little out of my league with the SAS drives so any opperation tips would be a plus! Thanx in advance....

The RAID card allows for the use of SAS drives or for the use of RAID 5 (which requires checksum calculation on writes and for data re-creation after a failure).
The battery assures that the data will be held in the RAID card's RAM until it can be written to the drives, even if a power failure occurs just after the data are written to the card (but before they are re-written to the drives).
Not using that feature? You don't need the battery.
Not using RAID 5 or SAS drives? You don't need the Apple RAID card. Disk Utility can set up Striped or Mirrored RAID sets.

Erase old error messages of MacPro RAID Card?

Hi there.
I changed HDDs in my MacPro, they were configured as an RAID 1 using Apples RAID Card.
After mirroring the old System to the new (RAID 5) System, there are several error messages left in RAID Utility - where are they located to delete them?
Maybe I was wrong simply to change the HDDs, but is there a chance to solve that issue?
Thanks in advance.

Get someone on ebay to buy your over priced under supported card.
Or accept the 2.2TB (some people only got the 800GB portion which needs to be set as free space).
Or use 2TB drives.
Or external RAID but watch out for ATTO SAS and their Java program that doesn't work.
WD RED 3TB drives are designed for NAS RAID, firmware to support RAID TLER.
SoftRAID 4 makes a nice software RAID and does a good mirror with three drives in stripe reads (mirror only begins with minimum of two).
NO Apple just won't can't whatever offer a card and firmware. Odd with all their GUID support for large volumes isn't it.
It is designed for smaller SAS drives in today's world. And for RAID5 on 3TB and issues with battery... POS throw it up on ebay!

MacPro RAID Card - working with SSDs in 2nd optical bay?

I am planning to get a MP wit the Apple RAID card in order to configure 4 internal HDs as a RAID5. Does anyone have experience whether this setup would be compatible with one (or two) additional SSDs (boot drive) which will be connected via the 2nd optical bay.
Does this work at all - I understand the RAID card changes from SATA to SAS ports. I am not interested to include the SSDs in the RAID setup but would like to know whether this would work at all or whether I should better plan without the RAID card.
Thanks
Tobias
