[NB] X4200 RAID1 question - steps after replacing a HDD?

Hi,
I got an X4200 machine with LSI RAID controller, 2 HDD, configured as RAID1.
Question - after replacing a HDD, do I need to do anything for the data to be sunched on the new HDD, or is that automatic?
TIA,
P.S - looking at doc 819-1157-21 (Sun Fire x4200 service manual) sections E.4.1.1 & E.4.7 makes me more confused instead of answering my question...

Found it - http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4933-13 chapter 2, hot swapping - "The firmware supports hot swapping. The hot-swapped disk is automatically re-synchronized in the background, without any host or user intervention. The firmware detects hot swap removal and disk insertion. Following a hot swap event, the firmware readies the new physical disk by spinning it up and verifying that it has enough capacity for the mirrored volume. The firmware re-synchronizes all hot-swapped disks that have been removed, even if the
same disk is re-inserted. In a two-disk mirrored volume, the firmware marks the hot-swapped disk as the secondary disk and marks the other mirrored disk as the
primary disk. The firmware re-synchronizes all data from the primary disk onto the new secondary disk."

After replacing MBP HDD, Screen is whacked

I replaced a bad hard drive with a new 250GB drive today. After booting to the 10.6 disc, (graphics are fine) I do get the language question but after that I get this screen and the spinning beach ball.
http://picasaweb.google.com/lackey.brian/Apple#5456848978071884242
I think it looks like a zipper down the middle of the screen. You can see the word "Macbook Pro" at the bottom to give you some perspective. The drive is not formatted yet but that should not matter. Bought it at Best Buy and install went smooth. This is a 1.83Ghz 15" MBP.

You said you replaced the drive today.
I assume that means you had to disassemble your MBP today to do so:
If you bumped something, a cable became loose or something otherwise isn't making contact the way it was, it could cause problems.

Blinking Folder with Question Mark after replacing Hard Drive

I have a 2010 Macbook Pro. It recently stopped starting up. I took it to the Genius Bar and the guy working there told me I needed to replace the hard drive. I did that. Now when I start the computer up I get a blinking folder with a question mark on it.
I've tried holding Option to get to the Start Up Manager and I've tried holding Command+R to get to Recovery and both give me no results.
I cannot find my original Installation Disc.
Can anyone give me advice on what I should do next? Do I need to get another copy of the Install DVD to continue?

Install Snow Leopard from the original discs that came with the computer. You cannot use a retail Snow Leopard DVD with that model. Update to 10.6.8. You can then redownload Lion or Mountain Lion freely if you have purchased them already.
The first thing you must do is partition and format the drive before you can install OS X. To do that you will need an installer disc. You can purchase replacements from Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
You cannot use Internet Recovery unless you had Lion or Mountain Lion already installed. In that case see:
Install Lion/Mountain Lion on a New HDD/SDD
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

SW failures after replacing T510 HDD and re-installing software from Lenovo Recovery Disks

Please help...
I have replaced the 320GB SATA drive in my T510 after the original one started to fail. But the resinstalled software (taken from the recovery partition on the old drive) hs problems.
I used the Lenovo Recovery Partition on the old drive to create a bootable Flash Drive in order to re-install to the new drive. It initially appeared that the recovery drive successfully reinstated Windows 7 and associated programs on the brand new (also Seagate 320GB SATA drive).
All was good, I thought - Until I tried Windows Update
Other things are not working well either - e.g. YouTube clips are not playing, IE is working very slowly to name but two.
Windows update fails with the message "Windows Update Cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer".
I have discovered on MS web site that there are fixes for this but the fixes I have tried do not work.
The fixes all seem to look for and check that BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) and Windows Update Srervices are running. I have checked and both services ARE runing but still I get the failure message.
When running the Microsoft Fix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2730071
further errors are discovered stating that "troubleshooting was unable to fix all of the issues found.
"Problems installing recent updates - not fixed"
I have serached high and low and the only stuff I can find to fix windows update does not work.
If the replacement HDD was brand new.
Could it be that a BIOS update that took place at some point during the last year or two plus the recovery partition are somehow incompatible.
Could it be that the recovery partition has created an unusable version?
Advice on where to go next will be well received..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome,
One of the things that can cause this is migrating to an advanced format hard drive (one with 4kb sectors). For some reason this confuses Windows Update - and some other things.
This KB should help - if this is indeed the problem: Windows Update Fails After Installing New Hard Drive

Tecra S5 - After replacing the HDD I can't install Windows XP

I cannot boot from CD, I have tried by booting from CD through BIOS, by pressing "C" but I had no luck.
Any ideas?

Hi
Either you CD/DVD drive starts to malfunctions and you would not be able to boot from any disk or the CD/DVD drive does not handle only this certain disk.
You could try to bun/copy the disk and could try to boot using the copied CD.
In many cases the CD/DVD drive cannot read only one, certain disk. This happens due to old CD/DVD firmware.
Try to copy the disk using another computer maybe it will work if not, then you need to change the ODD.

Step by step to replace hdd for T43 please

Can anyone guide in steps to replace my hdd in T43 (1871). I'm using a 60gb hdd, and wish to upgrade to higher capacity,
what is the maximum cap i can go?
What to download for recovery?
Thanks a million
Yours reply is greatly appreciated.

I fought this with my T43. They use an internal SATA interface with a SATA-PATA converter. It requires drives w/specially modified firmware to avoid the boot error - and possible drive corruption. These may help. The safest approach is to buy a drive specifically listed by Lenovo/IBM, IMNSHO.

IMac 9,1 Grey Screen with Flashing Question Mark (After HDD Replaced)

Hello, I have an iMac 9,1 and it recently booted with a grey screen and a flashing question mark. My HDD made a very loud ticking noise, which to my knowledge and people on Google, the HDD is basically dead. No big deal. I purchased and replaced the HDD myself, no more ticking but I still get the same screen. I put in my OSX installer DVD and it spits it back out. Tried holding C on start up, same thing. I tried reseting the PRAM and SMC, no luck. Can't boot into safe mode nor the start up manager. I just get a blank screen with the cursor that I can move around, that's it.
However, I was also to boot the Apple Hardware Test through the 2nd CD that came with my installer by holding D on start up. Ran the test, no hardware errors found. I've tried so many things such as the ones listed above, I tested the RAM as well and I'm stumped. Please help. Thanks.
Edit: I also tried booting into single user mode. That doesn't work either. I also tested the OSX installer in my MacBook to make sure the disc wasn't bad and it booted the disc no problem with the full installer.

Linc Davis wrote:
I can boot into Target Disk mode and since my Macbook reads the OSX installer no problem, would I be able to install the OSX through Firewire?
That may work, if you have a retail (not a gray) installation disc, but the MB will then be set to boot from the iMac's drive. You'll need to reset the startup disk in the Startup Disk preference pane on the MB.
Thanks, I'll certainly give this a try. I'm really hoping this works out because I feel like I've tried everything and seeing no hardware errors makes me feel like I can do something on my end rather than dropping hundreds of dollars to get it fixed.

After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
any suggestions on how to fix this ?

what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
what type of Mac? a macbook pro
how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers

MacBook Pro does not boot past apple screen after replacing hard drive

After replacing hard drive on MacBook Pro 13 inch early 2011 model, the screen only boots to the apple logo. Do I need to re-install the OS?

The problem is that the OS is not in any where else of the MacBook Pro than in the HD / SSD. If you replace the Hard Drive, then you will need to Re-install OSX into that hard drive, it's pretty easy.
1) Power up your Macbook Pro, as fast as you can press and hold the Option key (ALT). You'll see that it opens the bootable-devices you have, you'll see a Recovery partition, click it.
(If the Hard Drive contains data do the following)
2) In the menu select Disk Utility.
3) In Disk Utility go ahead and select the Hard Drive that is inside the MBP.
4) Erase the content.
(If the Hard Drive contains no data continue with the following jumping the last 3 steps).
5) Select Re-install OSX.
6) Select the Hard Drive in which you want to install it.
Follow the steps of everything else (it should take approximately 1 hour to do the whole thing).
Hope this helps!
Later.

Post installation steps after SAP BW system copy

Hi!
I am about to do post processsing steps after system copy of SAP BW system.
1) One of the steps is to delete all entries from tables DBSTATHORA, DBSTAIHORA, DBSTATIORA,
DBSTATTORA.
Question: what is the way to do this?
2) During the installation I received the error within import ABAP step.
(IMP) INFO: import of D010TAB completed (4477754 rows) #20090505133631
DbSl Trace: Error 12801 in exec_immediate() from oci_execute_stmt(), orpc=0

As solution I changed the the following lines within D010TAB.TSK:
from D010TAB~ 0 C err to D010TAB~0 C ign and
from D010TAB1 C err to D010TAB1 C ign
Question:

Simply run
TRUNCATE TABLE <table_name>;
for each of those tables.
Make sure to either logon as SAP<SID> or provide the owner of the tables with the statement.

The problem here was the large INITIAL size clause.
If there is enough freespace at all in the tablespace this should work:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~0" ON "D010TAB" ( "MASTER", "TABNAME" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
If I'm not wrong, the second index is just vice versa:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "D010TAB~1" ON "D010TAB" ( "TABNAME", "MASTER" ) TABLESPACE PSAPSR3700 NOLOGGING COMPUTE STATISTICS PARALLEL;
In general it is really not a good idea to skip the creation of unique indexes...

Lars

Is it Mandatory to run SU25 steps after Upgrading to new release

Hello All,
I have few questions regaring Security Upgrade.
We recently upgraded to a new release. So, when I try to modify a role in Dev a pop up came "which states that need to run steps 2 a to 2 c in SU25" but when clicked on continue the pop up never came after that in any role.
My question: Is it really required to run SU25 steps after any upgrade? Is it going to affect any users if dont run the steps and continue?
Regard's

You are missing the purpose of the tool - namely Step 2B.
2B is the key to reducing your effort and building good roles in the first place when you enter 2C. If you get that part right, then step 2C is popcorn and watching the tele while your program runs (not a(n) (e)CATT script...). You can do this in standard if you are disciplined!
A special aspect is to choose the "Authorization Object" view which is available in SU24 but not in SU25. If you restrict the number of roles to few single roles (or series of them without derivation) which are intact then you can survive a release upgrade without toasting your roles or the SU24 data updates.
SU25 is very usefull for such role builds!
If you want all the lights to turn green then use SUPC and transport them through. God help anyone who used roles as menu's and deleted standard or maintained authorizations...
SAP security is a specialized task which touches all applications you use...
Cheers,
Julius

My hp 7160 wants to print in black only after replacing the yellow cartridge. Any suggestions?

My hp 7160 wants to print in black only after replacing the yellow cartridge. Ink level shows full amount. Test page prints fine.
I have tried different programs to color print in, all return the same error message.

Hi @obxgirl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 5510, you are unable to print in black ink.
I would like you to continue here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

AirPort says 'No Hardware Installed' after replacing it ?

I have a MacBook Unibody model of 2008 and i was using it when it decided to crash. I restarted it and the wifi wasnt working and it told me No Hardware Found. Since here we don't have any apple stores and it was out of garantuee, i decided to buy a new one and fix it myself. However after replacement and a formating it, the was telling me the same thing. Any solutions ? thanks a lot

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. If you can connect to the Internet via Ethernet, Bluetooth, or a USB network device, make sure all available OS X updates are installed. If Wi-Fi is your only means of network access, skip this step.
2. Reset the NVRAM.
3. Reset the System Management Controller.
4. Boot into Recovery. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A copy of Safari will launch. Test. If Wi-Fi works now, quit Safari and select Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
5. Take the machine to an authorized service center for testing.

High temperature after replacing the CPU T2500 - T7200 in T60

After replacing the CPU from T2500 to T7200 CPU temperature ranges from 70-85C. It seems to me high, I think about replacing thermal grease or thermal paste application. What's better? Do away with the original gray ribbon and attach a new heatsink or better smear toothpaste?
Solved!

there was a test done and toothpaste came out close to most themal paste.
artic 5 should never be used in a laptop.

use a non conductive one or a thermal pad.
the gray ribbon is a themal pad best to use WHAT CAME IN IT.
reason is that can be a shim and do away with that and no contact.
you went from a 31 watt to a 34 watt TDP not alot but it gonna run hot.
75-80 c is hot yea but you have 65nm cpu class thats gonna run hot because it old and getting a lot of work.
so you all know toothpaste might been used in tests but i not use because it can dry out and you dont know whats in in exacly.
thermal wise i do belive whats in toothpaste is very good thermal wise but stick with the gray ribbon.
Please disregard the above post(er).
I've used AS5 on thousands of ThinkPads with no ill effects, actually the exact opposite. Minimal research of experiences posted by other owners on Bill Morrow's ThinkPad Forum will confirm this statement as well. Arctic Silver is as good as it gets unless one wants to spend $50 for a tube of thermal paste.
To OP, your machine is running way too hot for the CPU in question. My 15" T60p with T7600 idles under 50 degrees C, and doesn't go over 62 in normal use. And yes, it has AS5 in it.
