Call TAC, they'll have you open a secure. support tunnel from your WSA, and they can dig into what's happening.
There isn't much you can actually do to the raid set.
You should also backup your configuration off of the box. Make sure to save it with the passwords unmasked, so if they have to send a replacement, you'll have something to restore.

  • RAID disk not detected by Windows XP

    I have installed a single disk connected to the RAID controller on my K7T266 Pro2-R Mobo.
    The RAID controller (that is enabled in BIOS) detects the disk, reports a correct size and reports it as "Functional". I have used the BIOS utility to assign an "Array" to the single disk drive.
    I downloaded the latest drivers from this site and I have installed the drivers in Windows XP Pro (a number of times...)  In the Device Manager, I get a "Windows XP Promise FastTrak100(tm) Controller(PDC20265)" under the "SCSI and RAID controllers" folder. The driver seems to work (at least the Device Manager claims "This device is working properly.")
    The disk itself does not show up under the "Disk drives" folder in the Device Manager.  The "Disk Management" in Windows XP also treats the disk as non-existent.
    When I tried to install the "FastCheck Monitoring Utility", I got error messages "Service Install - Unknown Error". When trying to run the utility, it says "FastTrak controller or driver not found".
    The event log says nothing of interrest.
    I use the FastTrak PCI version in another system running Windows 2003 Server and there everything works OK. But that driver is almost a year newer...
    What's wrong?  Has anybody got the on-board FastTrak controler to work in WinXP? Any hints on what to do to make it work?

    I just happened ( ) to have a second identical disk drive laying around (Christmas time you know...) so I installed it in the system.  If the driver has any "single disk restrictions", it should work now - shouldn't it?
    The BIOS RAID setup happilly discovered the new disk and I configured the two disks as a stripe set.
    Windows XP?  Nothing.  The disks simply doesn't exist. There must be something wrong with the WinXP driver, but I can't figure out what.  I've scanned the Internet and there seems to be a number of people having the same problem, but I haven't found anyone that have a solution.  
    MSI? Promise? We have a problem here...

  • Advice on RAID Sets, Volume Sets, and RAID Levels of the Volume Sets using an Areca Controller

    I have read through a lot of information on disk usage, storage rules for an editing rig, users inquiries/member responses in this forum and I thank each and every one of you – especially Harm.
    In building my new workstation, I purchased five (5) WD 1T, 7k, 64M SATAIII hard drives and an Areca RAID card, ARC-1880ix-16-4G, which I plan to use primarily as my media/data disk array.  The workstation will use a 128GB SATAIII SSD as the OS/program drive and I will transfer two (2) WD Raptor/10k SATA 70GB drives from my current system for pagefile/scratch/render use.  I tentatively plan on using a mobo SATAIII port for the SSD and mobo SATA ports with a software RAID (level 0) for the 10k Raptors.
    In reading the Areca Instruction manual, I am now considering exactly how I should configure the 5 physical 1TB drives in terms of RAID Level(s), Volume Sets, and RAID Sets.  I must admit that I like the opportunity of allowing for a Dedicated Hot Spare as I am generally distrustful of the MTBF data that drive vendors tout and have the bad experience in the past of losing data from a mal-configured RAID array and a single drive hardware failure (admittedly, my fault!).
    In line with the logic that one doesn’t want to perform disk reading while trying to write at the same time (or vice-versa), I am thinking the approach above should work OK in using the mobo disk interface and both software and external hardware RAID controllers without having to create separate RAID level configurations within a Volume Set or further dividing up the physical drives into separate RAID sets.  I know in forum messages that Harm noted that he had 17 drives and I could envision a benefit to having separate RAID sets in that situation, but I am not at that point yet. 
    To some degree I think it might be best to just create one RAID Level on one Volume Set on one RAID Set, but want to solicit thoughts from veteran controller users on their workflows/thoughts in these regards.
    Anyone care to share thoughts/perspectives?  Thanks
    Bill

    Thanks for the speedy feedback Harm - I appreciate it.
    I was thinking RAID level 3 as well.
    Of course, it's always something!   I purchased the Caviar Blacks by mistake - which are non-TLER.   I will work with EggHead to return the ones I purchased and replace them with RE4 versions  as I'm not thrilled about the possibility of the controller declaring the volume/disks degraded unnecessarily and although I have the DOS utility WDTLER where one is supposed to be able to enable/disable TLER on WD drives  - I suspect WD is way beyond that now anyway with current builds.
    I agree with you about just testing the performance of the options for the raptors - on the mobo and then on the controller.  When I benchmark them I'll post the results in case others are curious.
    Thanks again....off to EggHead!

  • RAID Disk Layout advice for Hybrid OLTP/Batch app

    I was hoping for some advice from the community on my disk layout for a proposed upgrade to our Oracle setup (Windows 2003, JDE+Oracle9i, primarily OLTP/Batch extracts). Focusing purely from a hardware perspective, we're being given 14 disks to work with. I had initially thought that it was a lot, but when I start putting the spindles into RAID configurations, it doesn't give me a lot of room.<BR>
    <BR>
    <B>2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for OS, App and Oracle Binaries<BR>
    2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for 1 set of online redo log files<BR>
    2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for archive log files<BR>
    8 Disks RAID 10 (mirrored and Striped) for all data/index/undo/temp files.<BR>
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>
    14 total disks</B><BR>
    <BR>
    My question is -- where would I put the other set of multiplexed redo log files? Hardware mirroring gives me fault tolerance against media corruption, but doesn't protect me against accidental deletion of the logs. I don't want to put the 2nd set on the OS drive because it's mixing sequential (100% read / write) and random access (OS paging, binaries).<BR>
    <BR>
    I also wanted to better understand how the LGWR and ARC0 processes work. From the Oracle Perf Tuning Guide, the LWGR writes to one member at a time, so it pays to have alternating log groups on 4 disks. We believe the ARC0 process reads only the primary member of the disk, yet the figure 8-1 in the above document shows an arrow from ARC# to both redo members. So how does it really behave? Does it actually read from one or both members? If it only ever writes to the second set and never reads it, where would I put it? Could I even put the second set of online redo's into the data/index/undo/temp set of disks?<BR>
    <BR>
    I've already been perusing the various AskTom articles and read the Oracle whitepapers (#1and #2) on S.A.M.E. (stripe and mirror everything), and they all make some good suggestions -- it's just with this few disks, I find myself having to make compromises. Any help or suggestions on a better layout would be appreciated.

    Hello Carl,
    You have to implement this SAP Note - 1313075 to meet your purpose.
    Create variant under this program - RFFOAVIS_FPAYM and assign the same in printjob tab in F110.Also you have to maintain the sender mail id details in FSAP T code and receiver mail id details in the concern vendor master data.
    I hope it helps else revert us with your query.

  • Video FX: video effects and editing drive (incl. RAID disk arrays)

    Having had an issue with rendering iMovie effects and read through a few posted thread, I ran an experiment that pinpoints an incompatibility between iMovie and large size (800GB) RAID array volumes. Hence the following questions:
    Is iMovie designed to support large sire RAID disk arrays ?
    Could anybody test a non-RAID array large size (say 500GB or better 1000GB) volume to check if it is size or RAID dependent ?
    When can we expect a fix ?
    For more details, please read on.
    Reading through the other threads talking about the Quartz composer effects, it sounds like the Apple programmers have a lot of work ahead to deliver a more robust 6.0.2 version.
    I wanted to record the noticed incompatibility of working with a project outside the System & Application drive and applying Quartz composer effects.
    Most keen videographers are using either a good large size external drive, a RAID array or a separate partition to store their video footage and editing work. So the noticed incompatibility needs to be looked into.
    Interestingly, I read of other users having the same problem but Karl Petersen also mentionned that he didn't have the problem ...
    So, what's wrong ? If the problem would be consistent, it would be easy to have Apple on their toes to fix it, but if not ...
    So I ran a small experiment. I took the same iMovie project and copied it to my different disks and volumes (at least the ones where I had enough space) and tested 3 types of effects:
    -1- the non-Quartz Composer 'fast/slow/reverse' effect, which caused me trouble already in iMovie '05;
    -2- the Quartz Composer 'sepia tone' effect, which I was using without problem in the previous version;
    -3- the non-Quartz Composer 'aged film' effect, which I was using without problem in the previous version;
    My disk and volume configuration is the following:
    -> First internal 500GB Serial ATA Disk split into 3 partitions:
    a) 30GB System & Applications Drive (Start-up Disk);
    b) 20GB Pictures Drive;
    c) 415.6GB Partition as Slice 1 of my Apple RAID array;
    -> Second internal 500GB Serial ATA Disk split into 4 partitions:
    d) 15GB Virtual PC System & Applications Drive;
    e) 15GB MAC & PC Documents Drive;
    f) 20GB Musics Drive;
    g) 415.6GB Partition as Slice 2 of my Apple RAID array;
    -> Internal 831.3GB Apple RAID Array - striped RAID set made of 2 slices (volumes c and g above);
    -> External 120GB FireWire Disk in one volume.
    All volumes are formated using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
    The result is consistent and points towards an incompatibility of iMovie with either very large size volume or RAID array. Indeed, all tested effects preview fine on all tested volumes, however, they can be applied seemlessly on all tested volumes apart for my large size RAID array.
    When the project is on the RAID array, hitting the apply button results in the following:
    For the non-Quartz Composer 'fast/slow/reverse' effect and the Quartz Composer 'sepia tone' effect, rendering starts but then stops a fraction of a second later (as if it was unable to write the rendered file to disk). Resulting image in the video viewer is shifted diagonally to leave a black corner on the bottom-left.
    For the non-Quartz Composer 'aged film' effect, rendering starts and proceeds but the resulting image in the video viewer is again shifted diagonally to leave a black corner on the bottom-left. Note that resizing the iMovie window corrects this viewer issue.
    Conclusion:
    Is iMovie designed to support large sire RAID disk arrays ?
    Could anybody test a non-RAID array large size (say 500GB or better 1000GB) volume to check if it is size or RAID dependent ?
    When can we expect a fix ?
    Regards,
    Alex

    I had the same problem rendering a movie with iMovie 6 when the file is placed on a second internal disk.
    Clicking the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' tick box is a solution but I find it too blunt. My Mac is configured as a multiuser system and I bought the second internal disk to use it for my /Users directory. I thus don't want the different users to be able to create files in each others directories.
    When unclicking the 'Ignore ownership on this volume' tick box again I'm surprised to find that rendering still works fine for all users with the desired file integrity.
    I would have preferred to set up all the permissions using unix commands instead of all this magic. Can anyone explain the proper way to configure the correct permissions using the Terminal?

  • Accidently resolved RAID 0 via diskutility. The disks are untouched and found as offline RAID disk. Any chance to put them togehther again?

    You don't break a stripe array into two drives and have anything to work with, you can easily break a mirror raid though.
    SoftRAID "takes over" and replaces from Apple's and can 'recover' an array.
    You should never work with or run with a stripe RAID0 and not have a couple current backups - unless the array is just for scratch.
    Data recovery only read the volume, and recovers to another physical hard drive, it is not done "in place." that would be disk repair type operations, such as Disk Warrior 4.4. Data Rescue 3 is what most people try to use first, demo mode. If it seems to work then $99 to buy.
    SoftRAID 4 $129 might be your only choice though I think something is getting lost in translation as to what type and nature and its current state. Email support there, they will walk you through.
    And have 3-4 more drives to work with. A large enough drive for backup, one for recovery, and two new drives taht you will want to initialize, zero, and use to build a new 2nd array. Say a pair of WD Black 1.5TB $159 each.
    SoftRAID will test all your drive surface for defects during initialize (long format) and during idle background scan.

  • W2k8R2 Windows Backup - BMR on different disk configuration - How to move one parition of three parition to an other raid-disk?

    Hello folks,
    I need your help in following situation.
    My source-system has 1 RAID5 (600GB) over 5 HDDs. On the RAID-Disk are one primary partition (250GB) and 1 extended partitions (350GB).
    Because the hardware is out of support, I will migrate it to new hardware-server. I must minimized the downtime and the administrative effort. So I can't reinstall a new windows-installation, because 4 different software-licences are binding on SID. Additional
    a DFS-R is configured, so I need some hours to reconfigure it.
    The new destination-system has one RAID1 (300GB) that I will use it for windows-system, and one RAID 6 (1TB) that is planed for data.
    I has make a full backup (with all Critical) by using Windows Server Backup to a NAS storage. Than I has boot my destination system from Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and will make a recover. All Hard Disk is detected, after I install the storage-drivers. When
    I confirm the last step in windows-server-backup, windows-backup stop with error "Not enough space on harddisk 0"
    How can I move the extended partition to harddisk 1 (RAID6) durring BMR??? I cann't exclude the volume in backup-procedure, because the DFS-R is installed with some share on this disk.
    Has anyone a idea?
    Best regards

    Hi,
    I'm afraid we will not get it resolved. BMR will restore the partition information so you need at least a 600GB disk/RAID to restore both Drive C and D - it will create partitions on disk/RAID but cannot be separated restore to different disks/RAIDs.
    How about get another 300GB disk and change your system RAID from RAID1 to RAID5. (Or change RAID1 to RAID0 but of course you will lose fault tolerance ability).

  • Data transfer from dma to raid disk

    Hi,
    I am new at device drivers. I have a problem and I cant solve it. 
    We have pci express card, it writes data to dma, I wrote user app, there I allocate buffer and give adress and size to dma and dma writes data to that buffer and I try to write data in that buffer to disk. But I get overrun errors from dma, probably i am
    slow at getting data from dma. Maybe my way is wrong. I need to know right technique of doing it. Any help would be appreciated. 
    Thank you. 
    Ayse. 

    Thank you for your answer. 
    I will try to explain more. 
    You are right I have single dma buffer, I allocate it in my app and give it to dma. Then I allocate buffer pool, when I receive packets from dma  I write the data to my buffer pool with CopyMemory. When an element of my pool is filled other thread is
    writing this element to disk. But my dma transfer is faster than my writing to file. I need to write large size files. Somewhere my buffer pool is getting completely full but dma keeps going on transfering. 
    I hope I explained my problem clearly.

  • Disk Utility Warning?

    I saw this message when I was doing a Repair Disk Permissions-
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Is this something I should be concerned about?

    I was booted into my VERY clean and fully updated 10.5.7 install last night, and just for kicks ran Repair Permissions. For comparison purposes, in my "working" system, which is still at 10.5.5, and where I have not run a fair number of other updates either, here's the total number of advisories in Repair Permissions:
    Permissions differ on "private/var/log/secure.log", should be -rw------- , they are -rw-r----- .
    Permissions differ on "Library/QuickLook/iWork.qlgenerator/Contents/CodeResources", should be -rw-rw-r-- , they are lrw-rw-r-- .
    Group differs on "private/etc/cups", should be 0, group is 26.
    Permissions differ on "private/var/spool/cups/cache/rss", should be drwxr-xr-x , they are drwxrwxr-x .
    In 10.5.7 the situation is quite different: there are a raft of notices about files having been replaced with a symbolic link in Front Row, iTunes, the Media Browser, and iPhotoAccess. These are all the result of Apple's most recent Media updaters.
    There are also new SUID notices:
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/Filesystems/AppleShare/afpLoad" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DiskManagement.framework/Versions/A/Resources /DiskManagementTool" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "sbin/umount" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "bin/rcp" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/rlogin" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/rsh" has been modified and will not be repaired.
    These strike me a bit peculiar since the SUID bit is set on ALL those in 10.5.5, where Repair Permissions makes no comment about it, and there has been no change at all....except evidently the database used by Repair Permissions no longer seems aware of the files' status.
    Finally, both sets of Repairs complain about the group admin having read access to the secure.log file. I can't imagine why.

  • Disk Utilization Warning

    I am getting Disk Utilization warning;
    "Disk Utilization for 0 C: D: is 98.9 %"
    Please help in getting what is this and how to resolve it?
    Thanks,
    Waheed.

    Get some more disk and move some of your datafiles to the new disk.
    or
    See if you have unnecessary archived redo log files. If so, get rid of those that are older than the oldest backup you keep.
    or
    See if your audit files, trace files, or alert log are taking up too much space. If so, move them elsewhere or delete them.
    or
    See if you are accumulating data load files that you can get rid of.
    or
    See if you are accumulating user reports generated by your application system that you can get rid of.
    Basically, you have two choices.
    1. Add more disk and move 'stuff' to it
    2. Get rid of 'stuff' you no longer need

    By the time machine boot's up, its from hard disk.
    How would i avoid such situation?

    hi
    could you describe more precisely where are you?
    do you mean BIOS boot settings? if yes, you choose CDROM as first, boot and your systems start from CD disk.
    what operating system do you use?
    what console do you mean?

  • Alert : Logical Disk is not online

    Hello,
       On 2 of our Red Hat Linux systems(5.10 and 5.11) with the SCOM client install we are getting the error "Alert : Logical Disk is not online", although disk and Logical Volumes seem to be in good statuses and everything in /etc/fstab
    is mounted.   For the source it is giving something like this: /tmp/HOSTNAME-20140918_092643/data which doesn't even exist on the servers.
    This is the error I see in /var/opt/microsoft/scx/log/scx.log.

    Both servers have this version of the client: Version: 1.5.1-112 (Labeled_Build - 20140321L)
    Has anyone seen this before, and if so can you offer any assistance?
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Hi Chris,
    This is a pretty tricky one - I've never heard or seen anything like this before.
    Going out on a limb here: Is it possible that, at one time, you configured a memory-resident drive that resided on /tmp? If you configured that at one time, but then abandoned it but didn't remove all the links to it in /dev/disk or something like that,
    I could see how we could pick that up and get confused by it.
    If that's not it, then you did mention that only two of your Red Hat systems suffer from this. What's different between these two systems and other Red Hat systems that you may have?
    If none of the above is useful, then this should probably be escalated to Microsoft Support. They can engage, look at your machine, and collect information for us (in engineering) to diagnose this.
    Thanks,
    /Jeff
