Raid 0 With Internal And External Different Size Drives??

So I want to setup a raid 0 with my computer setup but have some questions.
I have 3 external drives, 500GB, 2TB, and 1TB.
Can I partition the 2TB and 1TB and use the 500GB partition I make on each drive for the raid, so all 3 are 500GB?
Can I also partiton my 1TB internal hard drive in half and use the new partition in the Raid?
Am I going about the best way to set this up or will this not even work in the first place?
Thanks for any info and helping!!

So basically I setup my iMacs drive and my external 1TB drive as a raid 1 and it will write the data to both drives at the same time right?
Correct.
Will this slow anything down at all?
Yes.
I gave up on TM myself.

  • Internal and External different set of menu for ESS

    Hi
    We have 2 portal server - Internal and External. The Portal are being used not.
    We are planning to implement ESS now in Portal. We are planning to provide two different set of options when the same user access internally and externally.
    For example, User XYZ access internally he will get menus ABCDE but the same user access from external he only gets manu AB.
    If anyone has implemented with similar concepts or know how to do it technically, kindly advice.
    Thanks
    Yuva

    Let us assume we have 3 internal groups :
    internalGroup_1 -> Role A, Role B
    internalGroup_2 -> Role C, Role D,
    internalGroup_3 -> Role E,
    and 2 external group :
    externalGroup_1 -> Role A,
    externalGroup_2 -> Role B,
    We add similar user under a group. and then roles are assigned to groups. in above example Role A , Role B is assigned to internalGroup_1.
    We can have a single user id in which is attached to interalGroup_1, interalGroup_2, interalGroup_3 , externalGroup_1and interalGroup_2.
    When user logon to Internal portal he will see role A, B,C,D and E
    and when user logon to internal  poral he will see role A,B.
    provided A,B,C,D,E roles should exist in internal protal and role A,B exist in External portal. You can use transport roles from external portal to internal portal.

  • Issues recording with internal and external mics -  blip blip noises

    soon as a click record it begins to record my voice but it also makes these audable "blip blip" noises every second which come through the speakers and then recorded in the track. i can record with audacity fine. i have checked the tracks properties and removed any filters but this still happens.. this happened awhile back and since then the machine has been formated so a new install has already occurred.

  • ILife with both internal and external hard drives?

    I've been considering switching from a homebrew, multi-boot desktop to a MacBook for my primary computer, in part so I can hang out with my family in the living room rather than be exiled to the home office when I want to compute.
    But here's my concern: I have media. We have about 50 GB of iTunes; maybe 30 GB of iPhoto; and tons and tons of digital video that would be stored in iMovie. Obviously the libraries are all interlinked. And it's all growing. I also like to rip DVDs and re-encode them for my iPod and AppleTV. Right now, my desktop has 480 GB of internal storage and that's just about enough.
    I have discovered that the MacBook only comes with an option up to 250 GB. I absolutely need AppleCare, so I can't get an aftermarket hard drive. (All my Macs break - this one from the office that I'm on right now has a bum DVD drive, and my wife's has needed both fan and logic board replacements.)
    While I'm aware of the existence of external hard drives, I'm concerned about Apple's non-external-hard-drive-friendly way of storing iLife data. If I wanted to keep more recent or useful music and photos on the internal drive but older stuff on an external, and still be able to use iLife seamlessly, would that be possible? (I see myself editing recent video in the living room, but then hooking back into the external HD in the office if I need older stuff.)
    What solutions are out there for integrating data stores on both internal and external hard drives into an iLifestyle?
    Thanks!

    all iApps (iPhoto, iTunes, iM08) support usage of external drives as 'mass storage' devices.. you can tell all apps which drive to use for the Libraries.. there some tools out there, which even allow the usage of 2/many different Libraries in iTunes/iPhoto..
    for iM in detail: the Projects are small files, and should stay internal (allthough I'm discribing a 'hack' on my site: http://karsten.schluter.googlepages.com/im08tricks Project Library (and Events) on External Harddrive); the Events (=GBs) could be located on as much ext. HDDs as you want..
    but ...
    all iApps are single-user .. you can NOT 'share' Libraries to 2/many different users; the idea of a 'media server' which hosts/shares all kind of data to all kind of users is not 'on concept' of iLife ..

  • Can I split my itunes music library between and internal and external hard drive?

    Is it possible to have music on the two different drives and still be able to make playlists from both drives to put on my ipod?  Here's my situation:  I'm using a Dell 32 bit computer running Vista Home Premium SP2 which I share with other users.  I have a large itunes library (40g+ of music only) that's starting to hog the hard disk space from other users. If possible, I would like to split off part of my itunes library to an external hard drive while still having access to the entire library for my ipod. Ideally I would like to have all my downloaded songs on both the internal and external drives so I'll have backups in case a drive fails, while putting all the music I have hard copies of solely on the external drive. Any help on how this can be done would be appreciated.

    If you manually manage your itues library, you can store parts of it on an external drive, or on an internal drive.  Just keep in mind that in iTunes that you must set a default location for iTunes to manage it's files, and that will be the default location for iTunes to store anything it downloads.  You would need to manuay manage moving things from there if tht is not where you want them stored.
    Perhaps a "better" solution would be for you to invest a little mone into 2 external drives.  One to hold your entire iTunes library, and the second to be your off-line backup of the first.  This is the method I have gone with and I like how it works for me.  My entire iTunes library is on an external (portable) 320GB drive.  Then, when iTunes is not running, I will clone my external drive onto a second drive I happen to have, this way if I have any failure of my primary drive, I lose at most about a weeks worth of content.  For me, I purchase little content during a week, but I do move a fairly large volume of podcasts.  With the entire library being on the external drive, if I ever have to swap to using my backup drive iTunes wil just think that it hasn't run and downloaded anything for a week, and all the "lost" content will be re-downloaded automatically.  This won't work for apps or purchased content, but for subscribed podcasts, it is great.

  • Backup internal and external hard drives-TC and offsite

    I now have Mavericks 10.9.3 on my iMac with a 2TB (1.25 TB used) internal hard drive.
    I also have some external drives attached to my iMac with older iPhoto libraries and other files (total file sizes 940 GB and 505 GB).  I primarily use Aperture now on my internal hard drive, but still access those iPhoto libraries on my external drives on occasion.  I have Time Machine backup my iMac internal hard drive on my 2TB Time Capsule regularly.
    My primary question is in regards to getting another copy onto a larger external drive that covers my internal and external drives so I can have a backup off-site.  Online backup services seem to always exclude external drives.  So a physical drive I can have offsite seems to be the best option.
    A year ago I changed the destination of my Time Machine backup to be on a 3TB external drive (backed up iMac internal hard drive and the two externals).  However, when I changed the destination of the backup back to the Time Capsule, the TM initiated a brand new backup (it did not recall that I had backed up prior to that on my Time Capsule).
    I want to backup monthly, if not quarterly for my off-site storage.  But, if every time I change the destination drive for TM, a new backup profile is created, it will overwork my drives unnecessarily.
    Is there a backup program or a process on "disk utility" I could run parallel to TM that I just use quarterly capturing only the changes/additions in those few months for both the internal and external hard drives?  Also, is there a way to add an external drive to my Time Capsule that is solely used to wirelessly backup the two externals on a regular basis (i.e. keep the internal 2TB drive backing up to the Time Capsule; and the external hard drive attached to Time Capsule via USB used as the backup drive for the external hard drives)?
    Summary:  I need to backup regularly to the local Time Capsule/additional external hard drive.  The data will come from my internal hard drive and my two external hard drives.  I also want to do quarterly backups of the additions/changes to all three drives to have on an offsite external drive that I manually backup to quarterly.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Carbon Copy Cloner is not on the App store.
    Correct.. it is not approved because Apple do not like the fact that CCC (and most likely superduper) which are the most popular backup software for Mac because it makes a bootable clone. Apple will never approve of that. But let me assure you that is the genius of it. If the internal disk fails, you simply boot from the external. It is $40 but you can use on all the computers in your home.
    CCC is a clone.. ie when it does the backup, any changes on the drive are changed on the clone. It does not work like Time Machine which simply piles up incrementals until the drive fills up. The idea of CCC is a backup of the drive as it exists at any point in time. TM btw is also not a reliable archive, ie it thins backups constantly.. so you should never rely on it to archive old versions.. but in the middle of a project it does a good job to keep various versions of your files. That is why I specifically said in my last post do not stop using it.
    and you can keep using the TC just for the internal drive.
    Keep TM running to the TC.. that will then keep a current hourly incremental of your drive. You can set CCC in a way which is a lot more flexible. ie backup just at the end of the day. There is no need for constant hourly backups. So to answer the second question.. you are still using your TC and TM.. but I suggest you only backup the internal drive.
    Please read a bit from forum expert Pondini on the value of clones and TM.
    http://pondini.org/TM/Clones.html
    That's why many folks use both Time Machine and a bootable clone, to have two separate, independent backups, with the advantages of both.  If one fails, the other remains.
    Now the ports issue.
    You can of course continue to use USB2. Just that moving large volumes around will be slow.. as doubtless you already know.
    On your particular Mac since you missed out on USB3 which is a pain.. you can buy a Thunderbolt to USB3 adapter like the belkin.
    http://www.belkin.com/au/p/P-F4U055/
    I suggested the Thunderbolt to Esata (it is an older interface and the adapter is rather cheaper but I hear more reliable.. check reviews for both).
    http://store.apple.com/au/product/H8875ZM/A/lacie-esata-hub-thunderbolt-series
    Sata is the interface of the hard disk.. Esata just means external sata.. so it is native and without conversion.
    I was merely suggesting ways to speed things up. But as long as you don't run CCC on more than daily basis then I think you will be fine just with USB 2. It will take a while on the day you do the swap over for the archive volume, but if you turn off the power saving in the Mac and leave it run overnight it should be able to do most of it.. you need to realise it will have to deep scan both the disks.. to compare files.. but CCC is based on Rsync and it is extremely fast and efficient. I am just not sure I know how long it will take to do. Anyway.. there is a plan.. tweak and adapt as you see fits your needs.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • Cannot install Yosemite as it keeps telling me both my internal and external drives are time machine backups

    Cannot install Yosemite. Keeps telling me that both my internal and external
    drives are backing up with TIme Machine. Any suggestions?

    Is it actively backing up, or are you encountering a dialog stating that Yosemite cannot be installed because the disk is being used for Time Machine backups?
    Read OS X: Cannot install on a volume used by Time Machine for backups
    If for some reason you have a folder called Backups.backupdb at the root level of the hard disk on which you want to install Yosemite, move it to the Trash.

  • SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals

    Hi ,
    We are in development phase for SiteMinder integration with the internal and external facing portals.The proposed dual authentication scheme which requires both SiteMinder for External facing portal (EFP) and LDAP for Internal portal .is it possible?
    and is it possible to main to diff LDAP directories one is external users and one is for internal users.?
    If you maintain  2 diff(external & internal) LDAP Directories in Siteminder Policy Server  what about  external users which are  not exit in portal data source .
    I appreciate if anyone  can help me for my above query .
    Regards
    Tag

    Hey Tag,
    We do have a physical external Portal and a physical internal portal.  The both the external and internal are connected to 2 LDAP directories.
    For example the External Portal is connected to the Employee LDAP Direcotry and the Customer LDAP Directory.  The Internal Portal is connected to the US Employee LDAP Direcotry and the EMEA LDAP Directory.
    So each one of them is connected to 2 different LDAP Directories.
    I believe that the Siteminder Policy is setup such that the Internal portal has a policy and the External portal has a seperate policy on the same Siteminder Server.  Then each of the Policies is configured to connect to the approiate LDAP Directories.
    You have to maintain the LDAP Directory information in both the portal and Siteminder Policy Server.  It is required in the policy server so that it can authenticate the user and it is required in the Portal server so that it can authorize the user and display content based on thier assigned roles.
    Hope that helps.

    Keith

  • How to Setup RDS custom property when internal and external domain name space is different

    Hi All
    I am setting up RDS for customer
    My internal domain name is domain.local and my external domain is domain.com
    I came across below PowerShell cmdlets on some blogs because my internal and external name space are different
    Set-RDSessionCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName QuickSessionCollection -CustomRdpProperty “use redirection server name:i:1 `n alternate full address:s:remote.domain.com”
    In above command, remote.domain.com points to which host?
    Is it pointing to RD Session Broker
    OR
    Pointing to RD Session Host servers
    I am not sure what above command will do exactly ?
    Any help will be highly appreciated
    Thanks Best Regards Mahesh

    Hi,
    It all depends who is accessing the RDS Solution.
    If you have a large BYOD or large number of external users, it would be better to use a public certificate.
    Have a look at the following script which will simplyfy the configuration of the RDSH hosts with certificates.
    http://ryanmangansitblog.com/2014/05/20/rds-2012-rdsh-certificate-deployment-script/
    You can use a custom RDP property to hide the Session host names.
    Have a look at the following article on configuring certificates:

  • Is it possible to make OSX see the internal and external HDD's as one large drive?

    Is it possible to make OSX see the internal and external HDD's as one large drive? For instance, hypothetically, could I have a Mac Mini Server with 2TB of internal storage and 2 external 4TB Thunderbolt HDD's, and make the OS see them all as one large 10TB drive?

    Yes it is possible to do this, but this is not recommended since a disconnection of the external drives would lead to a destabilized system. Its best to do this only with internal drives, or secondarily with only external drives that are set up separately from the boot drive.
    However, if you do wish to do this then you can combine any local set of volumes into one large "spanned" hard drive using Apple's CoreStorage volume management service. It does take a few steps to set up and requires use of the Terminal and Disk Utility. Here is a tutorial on how to do this: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57550128-263/how-to-make-a-custom-corestora ge-drive-in-os-x/

  • Cisco ISE with both internal and External RADIUS Server

    Hi
    I have ISE 1.2 , I configured it as management monitor and PSN and it work fine
    I would like to know if I can integrate an external radius server and work with both internal and External RADIUS Server simultanously
    So some computer (groupe_A in active directory ) will continu to made radius authentication on the ISE internal radius and other computer (groupe_B in active directory) will made radius authentication on an external radius server
    I will like to know if it is possible to configure it and how I can do it ?
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Regards
    Blaise

    Cisco ISE can function both as a RADIUS server and as a RADIUS proxy server. When it acts as a proxy server, Cisco ISE receives authentication and accounting requests from the network access server (NAS) and forwards them to the external RADIUS server. Cisco ISE accepts the results of the requests and returns them to the NAS.
    Cisco ISE can simultaneously act as a proxy server to multiple external RADIUS servers. You can use the external RADIUS servers that you configure here in RADIUS server sequences. The External RADIUS Server page lists all the external RADIUS servers that you have defined in Cisco ISE. You can use the filter option to search for specific RADIUS servers based on the name or description, or both. In both simple and rule-based authentication policies, you can use the RADIUS server sequences to proxy the requests to a RADIUS server.
    The RADIUS server sequence strips the domain name from the RADIUS-Username attribute for RADIUS authentications. This domain stripping is not applicable for EAP authentications, which use the EAP-Identity attribute. The RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the RADIUS-Username attribute and strips it from the character that you specify when you configure the RADIUS server sequence. For EAP authentications, the RADIUS proxy server obtains the username from the EAP-Identity attribute. EAP authentications that use the RADIUS server sequence will succeed only if the EAP-Identity and RADIUS-Username values are the same.
