Moving from VIA RAID controller to another RAID controller?!?

Hello
I'm going to install a RAID-1 with 2 SATA harddisks from seagate using the onboard VT8237 RAID controller of my KT6 Delta.
I guess there should be no problems and that the temperature on the motherboard will be fine.
However, what will happen if I want to move later on to a new motherboard with another raid controller or install a dedicated RAID controller?!?
Will I loose all my data? Or will the new raid controller duplicate the data based on the source drive?
Thanks
JohnQM

I have read somewhere that the following migration paths apply for raid:
1. raid-1 can always be migrated to a new RAID controller, no matter which brand, because raid-1 is just a mirror and no important information is written in the partition table
2. raid-0 or other raid-levels
2.0 from one brand of RAID controller to the same version of the RAID controller of the same brand: no problem
2.1 from one brand of RAID controller to a new version of the RAID controller of the same brand: usually no problem (upwards compatible)
2.1 from one brand of RAID controller to a RAID controller of another brand: no go
Can someone confirm this please?
Thanks

Packet drop when clients moving from one Access point to another

HI All ,
I am new to wireless . I am using WS-SVC-WISM-1-K9 wism module and using 5 Access points . When my clients are moving from one access point to another we are getting packet drops .
Kindly anyone suggest me what all configuration i need to verify on the controller for Proper client roaming so that i can resolve my issues..
Please let me know in case of any explanations requiered .
Thanks in Advance !!!
Regards
Angus

For radius authenticated SSIDs, you need WPA2-aes or wpa1-tkip-CCKM. It depends on what the client supports.
For pre-shared key, any WPA should be decent enough for roaming speed.
If you're on WEP ... no comment.
If you covered the above point, check if it's not a coverage problem. If the 2 APs coverage zone are not overlapping there will be a hole where you don't have signal and logically will have packet drops.

Crystal Reports Moved from one file server to another - very slow opening

Hello,
I am new here, and I am in need of a solution. If I am not in the correct forum, please advise.
Our crystal reports were moved from an old file server to a new file server. Once the old file server was shut down the reports opened very slow in Designer and in our 3rd party application. Our server team determined that the reports are still attempting to connect to the old file server. If the old file server is brought online or dns is changed to reflect another machine that it can make a connection to, it opens with no delay.
For some reason, not every report is affected. Most of the reports are Crystal 8.5, but I have some Crystal XI reports that do the same thing. I can't find any reference in the reports to any file server/location....
I need to resolve this issue on the Crystal 8.5 version due to the application that we are running.
Is there a way to fix this other than to recreate the reports (I have over 400 of them)?
Any assistance or advice is appreciated!
Thanks,
Nancy

Hi Nancy,
The server info still needs to be updated. Are you setting location for each subreport also?
Possibly this registry key will help, I only have CR 2008 installed so you'll have adjust for what ever you are using:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - VerifyStoredProceduresOnFirstRefresh = No
and
VerifyStoredProceduresOnSetLocation = No
And
VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = No
And
ViewOutOfPlaceSubreports = No
Close CR designer before making any changes. And the usual warning about modifying the registry.
Thank you

Moving from one external drive to another

Hi,
I've had a lot of difficulty having all my music on an external drive. iTunes keeps trying to localize my files on my local disk's music folder.
Anyway, I have all my music on one external drive, which I've just done a complete copy of to another drive. All the files are in the same place.
Is there a way to get iTunes to see all the new files without removing all the songs from my iTunes library and re-adding them from the new drive?
Thanks

I keep all my iTunes content stored on an external drive myself. Over the last few years, I have swapped that drive out a few times for a larger capacity drive with no problems. With iTunes closed, I copied the contents onto the new drive, then ejected the old one. After doing that, I renamed the new drive to have the same drive name/label as the old drive, so to the OS it looked like it was still the same old drive. One that was done, iTunes just treated the new drive as if it was still the old one. One other thing I have done is that I have moved my iTunes library file onto the external drive as well. This will cause iTunes to give me an error message about not being able to open the library if the external drive is not attached for some reason, and therefore it never writes to the internal drive. I haven't tried this myself, but I would think that you could get similar results by using aliases to point the iTunes folders off to the external drive as well.

Windows's Restoration wizard is no longer recognising the WindowsImageBackup, when moved from one external HD into another one.

Hi,
I created WindowsImageBackup a three-month period ago and saved it on an external hard disk. Then, I have moved/cut this WindowsImageBackup from the external hard disk was first saved on while created into a subfolder
on another different external hard disk. Whenever now clicked 'advanced recovery methods', then chose use ' a system image'. However, when I booted into Windows environment, I didn't see that the external drive containing image wasn't listed, although I have
clicked on 'refresh' while external drive is plugged. When clicked on the 'advance' button, then click 'located driver if the drive isn't listed' link, I could naviaged into the external hard disk, which means it is recognised by Windows and it doesn't need
a driver.
NOTE: the image is for the same OS installed on my computer.
I really want to keep many full different Windows Image Backups, then when create Windows Image Backup, I moved it into subfolder in order the next new don't delete the older one.
I was expecting that this is because while external HD containing image is plugged in the USB3 port, however, when I let it plugged in the USB2 port, the drive wasn't listed in the list
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Thanks a lot,
NOTE: system image Disc containing(old images, WindowsImageBackup1,2,3, and so on) wasn't listed/found, and not the Restoration failed
Let me give you this scenario:
I have created a Windows image backup for OS partition(C) and Data partition(D). Second: I have saved the created image into an external hard disk
Third: When the WindowImageBackup created in the external hard disk. I tried booting into Windows environment, and the wizard found the image automatically.
Froth: I have moved the 'WidnowsImageBackup' from a partition on an external hard disk (A) into another external hard disk(B)
Fifth: I have done some changes on the OS system(such as installing programs and so on) and data partition(such as adding data and so on)
Fifty: I have decided to create a new WindowsImageBackup and save it into external disk 'B', but before that I have done, I must rename 'WidnowsImageBackup by incrementing '1' after 'WidnowsImageBackup' in order ton not be overwritten.
Sixth: I created the new 'WindowsImageBackup'
The WindowsImageBackup just created is recognised by Windows's resoration wizard because it wasn't moved. However, windowsImageBAckup1 isn't recognised because it wasn't saved here, however, it was pasted here from another location.
I would like to save many full images:
WindowsImagBackup
windowsImageBackup1
-------------------------2
-------------------------3
and so on.
However, as I said before, when booting into Windows's restoration wizard, then clicked on 'selcte an image', I didn't find any option to search for the image.
Yes, there is an option saying 'if you don't see your 'system image disc' listed in the image location, then you can pluge your disc and click on refresh. I have done but only the 'WindowsImagBackup' created on the same external disc was
found. Even those images created in same external disc, but their main folder 'WindowsImageBackup' changed into 'WindowsImageBackup1, 2, 3 and so one were not found'
If someone wants to save many full WindowsImageBackups, then how can he be doing?
NOTE: Although I have read in the Windows help support what is below, I when I have copied the older system images into another locations, they became unrecognised/found in the restoration Wizard:
Keeping different versions of system images
If you're saving your system images on an internal or external
drive, or on CDs or DVDs, you can keep several versions of system images. On
internal and external hard drives, older system images will be deleted when the
drive runs out of space. To help conserve disk space, you can manually delete
older system images. For more information, see What backup
settings should I use to maximize my disk space?
If you're saving your system images in a network location, you can
only keep the most current system image for each computer. System images are
saved in the format of drive\WindowsImageBackup\computer
name\. If you have an existing system image for a computer and are
creating a new one for the same computer, the new system image will overwrite
the existing one. If you want to keep the existing system image, you can copy it
to a different location before creating the new system image by following these
steps:
Navigate to the location of the system image.
Copy the WindowsImageBackup
folder to a new location.

Can a Time machine backup be moved from one hard drive to another.

Hello
There are a few questions tucked away in here...
1
My Mac crashed due to a Kernal Panic (screen was flashing) this was happening over 2 weeks so I decided to restore from Time Machine. During a restore the Mac crashed again. So I aborted the restore. When I sparked up the Mac again the Mac's drive had been wiped So I used the OS Snow disc to restore again. When I went to my Iomega back up drive it's power had failed. The upshot is, is that right now i have lost everything. No Backup and no Mac. My external drive is with a data recovery company. I am hoping that they can access the drive and drop the backups onto another external drive (very expensive). Before I commit to this expenditure, if they are successful in accessing the drive, can the TM backups be moved in that way (from one HD to another) and will my Mac recognise these as backups for my machine and thus successfully restore?
2
If all else fails can my Mac be recovered
3
Once that is done i am hoping that the Kernal Panic is resolved, if not I may seek advice also on this. Right now i need my data..
Thanks for any advice
Mark

the first folder shown (343775 - rycaft DATA) doesn't belong there. I'm guessing it contains some of the "loose" files that the recovery software couldn't figure out where it came from. And/or, it may contain the system files and folders that are normally hidden on a Time Machine drive.
Hi there, the first folder is where the recovery company dropped the recovered hard drive (root) - In an attempt to put the backups at the 'top of the tree' so TM could see the files i pulled the backups file out of there..so what is left?..... I believe it is other files I had on the BU hard drive before it failed. You can see that I have an apvault on there. This is aperture's internal back up. I have not yet tried installing aperture to see if these files can be recovered into aperture. It's an old vault but the best I can get so far. As you can see though, my Itunes folder seems to be a carbon copy of what was on the original HD. I've included a screen shot of this structure also.

Did you get the original Time Machine drive back? If so, it's a very long shot, but if it wasn't tried before, see if you can repair it with Disk Utility, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
funily enough I have requested it and since paying the fee to recover this HD they wont respond to emails or calls requesting (My) hard drive back.....
So i tried right clicking the iPhoto Library and Aperture Library and I cannot see Show Package Contents.

Photos moved from an external HDD to another: Search and replace paths?

Hi everyone,
I've been using iPhoto for a few years now and today I have iPhoto '09. I never let iPhoto copy my photos in its library when importing them, since I have most of them stored on an external hard drive. (Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
I have moved my photos from a small 160GB external hard drive to a new 2TB external hard drive. The problem right now is most of my photos in iPhoto can no longer be displayed. It offers me the option to locate a file every time I open a photo, which I can do, but doing the same task for each and every picture among thousands is daunting.
To manage photos not stored within its library, iPhoto creates an alias to each picture file. I found a Bash script allowing me to perform a search and replace on all symbolic links in a specific directory. However, the problem is aliases are not the same as symbolic links.
Is there any way for me to perform a search and replace on all the aliases within the iPhoto library in order to make them point to the new hard drive now containing the pictures?
By the way, I'm also having a similar problem with iTunes:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2190505

This issue is the main reason why I never recommend a Referenced Library. Some folks have had success using an app called _[File Buddy|http://www.skytag.com/filebuddy]_ to reconnect the aliases. If that fails then I'm afraid then you will find yourself reconnecting them manually.
Running a Managed Library this issue simply doesn;t arise. And of course, you can easily run a Library from an external disk and easily move Libraries between disks.
Should you wish to consider converting from a Referenced to a Managed library, then AliasHerder is an application that will replace these aliases with the actual files, and so preserve your Library and all your work in it. As always: back up first.
(Also, if the folders within the library would be properly dated like "2008-09-07" and not named like "7-Sep-2008" and "8-Apr-2008" making the former getting listed before the later, and if I could easily manage external volumes, I would be happy. But, I suppose that's a job for Aperture or Lightroom.)
How iPhoto names the folders within the Library Package is irrelevant as you never access them that way.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Recovery of original photos which were moved from a library on a another computer?

Hi,
I had a Mac Mini and during that time I was keeping the iPhoto library on an External Hard Drive. I no longer have that computer and now have a mac book pro and when I tried to access the photos from the external HD they were really small and when I tried to enlarge them they were pixelated.
Is there any way of recovering the originial size of the photos? There are no other files in the iPhoto lbrary on the external HD except for 2 one is called AlbumData.xml and another is called Dir.data
Please Help!

well i can't give youmore detail i just went into the folder in finder and opened the photo and it was really small 32kb and they're all about the same.

I need to figure out how to tell Organizer that photos have moved from one hard drive to another

I have PSE 10 on my laptop and used Organizer to tag and view images on my laptop and on my PC via a wireless network. My PC died but I had all the photos backed up on an external hard drive. I want to tell Organizer to look for those photos (hundreds of them) on my external hard drive instead of trying to find them on the PC drive. Any idea how to do this?

If you have recovered your catalog folder, which was probably on your C: drive, you can try to reconnect:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333358.html
However, you have probably lost your catalog, so your only solution is to import your files again in a new empty catalog. If you had 'written metadata to files', you'll recover tags and ratings, but not albums, stacks or version sets.

If you replace raid controller of hardware raid do you have to rebuild raid from beginning or not?

hi,
I like to know if the raid controller is damaged and you replace it with a raid card in a PCI slot .do you have to rebuild the raid from begin if it is hardware raid ?
the same question I ask for software raid ? this question is for raid 0,1,5,6,ect.
if you have to rebuild from begin then it means if you don't have good back-up then the data is gone!
thanks

Hello,
Enterprise controllers will read the metadata of the array, as it's stored on the disks, and recognize the configuration. Then you and you can choose to 'mount' it or create
a new array.
But, I suggest you to go to the manufacturer of the controller and get detailed information for scenarios like that.
For software raid, the only experience I have is that Windows can recognize a set of drives when they are configured as Dynamic Disks.

K8n neo2 moving from raid on ports 1,2 to 3,4 - format?

Hi, will i loose all my info on my hdds if i movied from raid0 on ports 1,2 to ports 3 and 4? (k8n neo2)
also, does raid0 limit ocking? i get reboots even by ocking more than 208mhz fsb
thanks for any info

Done it before and as said , move 1->3 and 2->4 .(this is exactly like i did)
Remember to change the enabled sata raid ports in ide raid setup in bios
from 1/2 to 3/4. Then set the boot order all over as raid will be last in the list after å boot with the change.
Nothing gets destroyed .

Swapping from fasttrak lite to fasttrak full RAID drivers

I think I am interested in moving from the lite version to the full version of my RAID drivers.
As it is now, the title of the RAID drivers read:
"WinXP Promise MBFastTrak 133 Lite (tm) Controller"
Can this controller be upgraded to the non-Lite version? ie is this hardware specific or just a matter of drivers?
Because I have not been able to find full versions of this driver, only "MBFastTrak 100 Lite", that is 100 instead of 133.
Any help is appreciated!
Regards

you need to find a full version modded bios first then the drivers to go with it,the bios is intergrated in the boards bios
what board do you run would help
try looking on bas's server

Moving photos from one iPhoto library to another

Is there a way to move photos from one iPhoto library to another? I tried to use export, and that puts the photos in the other iPhoto library (I can see the photo if I open Hard drive>user>pictures>iPhoto Library but when I open iPhoto it is not in that Library's library.
If I have not made myself clear, please ask and I'll try again.
Dave

sudkcore
Is there really no other way than via third party software??
Yes there is, detailed above: export from one, import to another.
I love using iPhoto but this is a real drawback.
Wow, really?
I have bought an external disk so i can free the space on my laptop by moving photos and now I have to buy some software in order to do that??
You don't have to buy it. What's more the free version of iPhoto Library Manager will move up to 20 pics at a time. And the paid version is only $20.
BTW: you can run an entire library from the external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How to configure RAID 5 sys using SAS controller for APP CS4

You even have three more connectors free on your Perc controller, so you could add three more disks, without using any motherboard connectors.
I think you have two alternative approaches:
1. Add a smallish disk as a boot disk, i.e. a 150 GB Velociraptor and install OS and programs there and let your raid5 exist as it is, or
2. Add another 600 GB to your raid5 to make it a four disk array.
Of course you could also do both. Breaking the raid out to individual disks means that all data on the current raid will be lost, unless you have a backup available, but it will still mean a fresh install of OS & programs, so remember to deactivate Adobe before you do anything to your disk setup like in alternative 1 or breaking out the array.
