RAID configuration help request

greetings
this is my current situation.
my k8n neo2 fx MOBO failled and my power blew up, so i had a replacement mobo and power.
i flashed the mobo to the latest firmware 1.C and continued configuring my system.
in my previous installation, i had my two western digital running on the MOBO raid with winxp sp2 + all hotfixes
i attempted to configure the raid with the same settings,
- enabled the raid device & selecting the disks that are made visible to the raid chips.
- made sure that the disks are found on boot (setting to auto thou when configuring the raid it always sets the disks to none having to set it back to auto, a bios bug that hasnt been fixed at least since version 1.9)
- made sure that the raid device is selected in the disk boot order
- recreated the raid array and made sure that it is bootable (pressing B)
now the issue is that when i hav ethe mentioned raid configuration in place, the raid does not boot
i get that disk not found ctrl-alt-del
but when i turn of the raid chip feature from the bios and boot of the first disk, it boots fine but runs lously since the
raid service deamon fails :P
any ideas on how this can be resolved? ive banged my head with this all day and i dont want to reinstall my **** OS :(
regards
Matice

i did brake and recreate the raid (not wiping the data of course ) but it didnt help, though i didnt try reordering the disks,
ill give that a try now.
as i said, when i disable the raid, the disk boot winxp fine, but xp is acting all bizare propably due to the failiure of the
raid service not running since the raid has been disabled..

can you boot from alternative location to see array is correctly assigned(etc: all data is there and so on...)
broke array and re-create it, but reverse HDD's position in array by adding into array. (1st, become 2nd, and 2nd become 1st)
re-test.

WLC2106 + LAP1131AG configuration help request

Greetings Everyone.
One of my customers asked me to configure a WLC 2106 and 2 LAP 1131AG (lightweight) for corporate/guest Wifi.
Basicly they want to implement a good wifi connection for internal use and a guest one with different QoS. The two lans
should both have dhcp but they must bet kept segregated so that none from the Guest wifi can access corporate resources.
Since i've never configured a WLC from scrath i lightly supposed it would be quite straigh forward as routers and switches from Cisco.
Unfortunately i was totally wrong.
I've downloaded the "Cisco Wireless LAN ControllerConfiguration Guide" (Soft.Release 6.0 June 2009) and after i red it i made up this workflow
for the configurations:
1) Configure Controller: (via serial)
     -     Set Management Interface parameters (IP- SM - Def GW - Dhcp server IP)
     -     Set Ap-Manager Interface parameters
     -     Virtual Interface parameters
     -     Set Admin Credentials
     -     Dhcp Configuration (internal and/or external)
2) Ap registration on the controller
     -     Configure vlan with dhcp request redirection to the dhcp server
3) Configure Wlan following customer's requests.
     -     Configure Wlan Auth for Corporate/Guest Wifi
     -     Configure QoS for both Wlans
Unfortunately i'm experiencing issue while trying joining the AP to the WLC.
It appers that the IT guy of my customer tried to configure one of the Ap.
In that Ap's flash i find files referring to a "mesh" configuration like:
mesh_cfg.txt - mesh_port_cfg.txt
which are not present on the other Ap.
I've tried to register both the Ap using:
1) Internal DHCP
2) External DHCP (microsoft W2k8 R2)
3) External DHCP (non cisco router)
But as a matter of fact they got the ip from dhcp but they don't show up in the WLC GUI.
So, resuming my issues sounds like:
1) Can't make Ap join the WLC
2) There are configuratin file on one Ap that i can't clear
3) DHCP configuration is probably wrong.
Since i'm quite lost, i'm ready to learn from anyone who could spare some time helping me out.
Thank you in advance!
Regards
Alessio

Good Day Everyone.
After a long fight, the insights of Stephen and Scott and:
https://supportforums.cisco.com/docs/DOC-13960 and
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2003153
I finally managed to wipe the old configuration and to configure a LAP 1131 attached to one of the POE of the controller.
After having configured a Wlan and having set the correct DHCP redirection i'm able to connect and get an ip! (WHOA!)
I've had to set a manual ip address on the AP (let's call AP1 from now on) and to manually point it to the controller.
I was thinking about using this configuration at the customer's site getting ips from the internal DHCP and thus letting employees using the internal resources of the company.
With the same idea, i started to configure the second AP (AP2 from now on).
So i set up a dynamic interface, always on physical port 1 of the controller, gave it an ip address on another class.
Got into the antenna via console and set an ip accordingly.
I expected the controller and the antenna to communicate immediately as the AP1 did before BUT:
LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR_DEBUG: spamHandleJoinTimer: Did not recieve the Join response
LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR_DEBUG: No more AP manager IP addresses remain.
%SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by LWAPP CLIENT. Reload Reason: DID NOT GET JOIN RESPONSE.
%LWAPP-5-CHANGED: LWAPP changed state to DOWNXmodem file system is available.
And keep reloading itself on, and on, and guess? Yes, on.
I'm sure i took a wrong step somewhere, could someone be so kind to enlighten me about it?
Thanks in advance!

ACS Group Configuration Help Request

We currently have an underutilized ACS server and are trying to 'secure' more of our devices and the network in general utilizing the ACS 4.0 we have.
The problem, and I'm guessing it's a simple resolution, is that currently we have a Group called Remote_Access for vpn/citrix. It is mapped to an external database (Active Directory) group namped Remote_Access. Everything works fine there. The problem I'm having is, I created another group in ACS further down the list for TACACS_ADMIN. We also have this group mapped to an AD group called TACACSADM. However, it seems that due to the fact that I personally am a member of both RemoteAccess and TACACSADM, whenever I try to authenticate to a switch, it shows me hitting the RemoteAccess group.. not TACACS ADMIN. How do I tell the groups to ignore requests unless it comes from a certain AAA client? I tried doing a Define IP Based Restrictions and selecting the AAA NG that it could come from, but all that did was give me a 'user filtered' in the failed attempts log for RemoteAccess. Isn't there some way to have it skip the Remote Access group and go on to TACACS Admin group?
Confusing I know.

Hello,
you can solve your problem with the feature Network Access Profile. With this feature you can assign one user to different groups.
You must create two Network Access Profiles (profile_remote_access, profile_tacacs_admin)-
with different protocol types (radius for remote access, tacacs for administration).

Help me configure Change request management !!!

Dear friends,
I am Going to Configure Change request Management, so just to ensure that the configuration is not erronous, i would need Expert advise..
Just want to know Clear few things before i proceed..
I am also refering SPRO and related notes
Scenario :
I have two SYSTEMS SAP ECC 6.0 with System id R03 and Soluiton manager with SYSTEM id SOL,
R03 has 3 clients, 300 600 700..
In R03 300 is the development client, 600 is quality client, 700 is the production client.
SOL has 2 clients, 100, 200
With 200 as the production client.
Q.1) Do i have to configure CHARM in both the client (100 and 200 of SOLMAN).
Q.2) Initially I had tried to set CHARM in client 100 of solman, but later on realized that it has to be set up in client 200.
When i logon to client 200 and Execute IMG activity Spro-> sap soltion manger->basic settings-> sap solution manager system->activate integration with change request management.
Then by default it take the previous client ( client 100) as the change request management client.
( as we know there are three steps in the above activity ), the other activity are executed properly, only prblem being that the default client is always set to 100, which should not be the case).
I do get the prompt saying ( "The change request clent is set to clent 100, do u want to change to client 200, on clicking yes, still it is always set the same client 100 as charm client ")
Plz let me know what do i do to set the change request client to 200??
Q.3) Regarding TMS, we have local domain controller in solman and local domain in R3.
We are planing to establish domain links between the two systems( ie both the domain controllers) ??
Is this the right strategy ??
Any other method that u can recommend ??
Q.4)One of the IMG activity says, Generate Destinations to client 000 of all the domain controllers..
Whenever i do this these, destinations are created with errors, i am not able to create trusted RFC destinations without errors.
When i logon to satellite domain controler and excecute sm59 there are 2 destinations created Trusted and BACK.
These destinations works well,
but when i logon to Solman, got to sm59 , when i test the TMW and TRUSTED rfc destinations i test these destinations using Remote Logon i get error,
" no authorization to logon as trusted system"
I went thru one note which recomended Kernel upgrades to solve the problem,
I r3 my kernel relaese is 700 with patch level 56, the note recomends to apply patch 80, did u have these problems??
what is your kernel patch levels in sateliite and solman systems.
Q.5) TO be able to raise tickets from R3 to solman we create RFC destinations.
We also create RFC destinations to client 000 of all the sateliite system,
dont u think these RFC destinations might interfere with each other??
Q.6) Is there anyone who has successfully configured CHARM. Can you plz share the configuration documents with me..
Please note :
All the contributors would be handesomely rewarded with points .

Hi,
Check this
Note 128447 - Trusted/Trusting Systems
For your Q4.
Q3.)
Establishing Domain link - That's the right way. Go ahead.
These are the steps.
1.Define Transport Routes for System Landscape
assign exactly one development system to a production system, and that these two systems are connected by exactly one unique transport track. If a development system and a production system are connected by more than one transport track, this may lead to inconsistencies within the transport distribution. This type of transport configuration cannot be supported by Change Request Management, and may cause inconsistencies within the tools involved.
2. Activate Extended Transport Control
The CTC parameter should be '1'
3.Configure Transport Strategy
Deactivate the QA Approval.
4. Activate Trusted Services.
5.Activate Domain Links.
You have to activate domain link between systems.
6. Generate RFC Destinations to Client 000
Hope this helps.

Need Help W/ Raid Configuration

I NEED HELP W/ MY RAID CONFIGURATION.
I HAVE THE K7N2 DELTA-ILSR MOBO W/ A XP2600+, I HAVE TWO 40 GIG HARDDRIVES THAT I WANT TO RAID 0 TOGHTER.
I HAVEN'T FOUND IN THE MANUALL HOW TO SET UP THE RAID ARREY, I DONT NO HOW TO SET THE DRIVER AS FAR AS SLAVE/MASTER SETTINGS, WITCH ONE NEEDS TO GO TO WITCH CHANNEL ( PRIMARY/SECONDARY/CS).
- EVERY TIME THAT I SET IT UP THE ARREY IS SHOWING ONLY 1 DRIVE, I BELIVE THAT RAID 0 SHOULD HAVE BOTH OF THE DRIVES AS 1 BIG DRIVE, CAN SOME ONE HELP ME W/ INSTARUCTIONS HOW TO CREATE THIS ARREY?
thanks guys

I had RAID 0 set on my system. I used the MSI Live Update software to update my RAID controller because it said it needed it. It hung up in the middle of the update, so I let it sit for 24 hours. Finally I rebooted, & now it won't even see the drives. If you go with RAID 0, back up your data, and keep it backed up!!! I will say this, while it worked, it was really really fast!!! In order to make my RAID work (while it lasted) I used two SATA drives. I believe you can also use one ATA & 1 SATA instead of two SATA drives. If you use 1 ATA drive, set it to master & connect to IDE 3. This will be the only drive on that cable. During the boot up, you have to follow the prompt & press to enter the FastBuild (tm) Utility. Once there, you can choose Auto Setup & it will do the work for you. I must re-iterate, KEEP YOUR DATA BACKED UP!!!!!! I hope this helps. Good luck!

Cost of SATA HDs ordered with S10? RAID configuration cost?

I'm considering buying an S10. I notice there is a charge for setting up the RAID configuration.
Is that just a "service charge"? I can change the RAID configuration later if I need to do so correct?
Also I note that a 500Gb 7200 RPM SATA drive lists at $205. At NewEgg for example the 500Gb 7200RPM units rated at 3Gb/s transfer speed are $60 - $90 each depending on details (cache size etc...). Am I missing something that causes the ones shipped with the system to be so much more expensive?
Thanks,
Jim
Solved!
Go to Solution.

mounting brackets will be included in the S10. there will be blank, plastic "dummy" drives installed in any unpopulated drive bay to help with air velocity. attached to these dummy drives will be the drive caddies that you need to install a drive.
RAID 5 requires all five drives to be the same or larger than the smallest drive size in the array. if you install a 1TB drive into a RAID 5 array comprised of three 500GB drives then only 500GB of the 1TB drive will be used. otherwise, there wouldn't be any redundancy on the second half of the 1TB drive. hopefully that explanation makes sense.

Which RAID Configuration for my WD "My Book Mirror Edition"?

About to reformat my WD "My Book Mirror Edition" to use on my iMac. I hope to also install on my iMac "Virtual Box", "VM Fusion", or "Parallels" and then run a few windows products. Which RAID configuration should I choose in the WD "drive configurations" box?

If I were you I'd run any Virtual Machine directly on your iMac, not on a "WD My Book Mirror Edition", in particular not when connected through USB 2.0.
To store data, the WD is fine.
For the RAID options:
RAID 0 ("striping") : if you want something fast (insofar this is possible with a USB connection). Note that when one of your disks fails you can say goodbye to all your data.
RAID 1 ("mirroring"): more safe. If one disk fails, the data are recoverable as they are on the other disk as well. Disadvantage is you get only half the storage capacity compared to RAID 0.
Oh. my personal recommendation: RAID 1 is not an alternative to making a backup. So whatever option you choose: if you store valuable data on the disk that are nowehere else: back them up!
On formats:
HFS+ : definitely recommended if you only use the RAID array on the Mac.
FAT 32: if you also use it on a Windows machine. Note that files cannot be larger than 4 GB in this case.
Hope this helps.

Best Raid Configuration for a 8-1tb hhd server

Hi All,
I have been trying to figure out what would be the best raid configuration for my Windows 2012 essentials server. So I was wondering if I could get some advise on this. Here is what I would like to get out of this configuration.
I would like to split the 8-1tb drives into 2 VHD one with about 300gb for the OS to be installed on, and the rest to be use for storage. I want like to have good redundancy, fairly good read & write capabilities.
I will be using this server for a Small Web Page and Game Hosting, Email Exchange, Critical Application hosting.
I would like the ability to enlarge the overall raid storage by swapping out my 1Tb drives with 2Tb or larger as the need for more storage arises.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks

You may be better of using Storage spaces and not using raid at all.

The RADIUS request did not match any configured connection request policy (CRP)

I setup NPS server and added a RADIUS Client access point, my project is to get a wireless user to authenticate using his/her AD credientials, my problem is i can't seem to authenticate my user

RAID Configuration Utility for KZPSC-XB in Alpha 2100

I have an Alphaserver 2100 and need to replace the RAID card KZPSC-XB. I believe I will need a diskette with the RAID Configuration Utility software on it to setup the RAID. The system is old, and I can not locate our original software.
Does anyone know where it can be located, downloaded, or a copy obtained?

Changing Raid configuration

we have changed the Raid 1 to a non-Raid configuration for testing purposes. Now we wanted to set the Raid 1 again in the configuration menu of the LSI Controller. But there it says, that all data will be erased. Isn't it possible to set one HDD as the primary HDD and mirror the data to the other HDD (this way is possible with server controllers)? If this isn't possible, how can I get the Raid 1 back, without losing Data and the Service partition... Perhabps creating Rescue and Recovery cds?
Thanks
Regards,
Christof

are you sure your primary drive was released from the array topography? it sounds like something is still being flagged as being part of an array.
if that's no help, try this:
- physically unplug both drives from your system
- boot into the LSI BIOS
- delete the old array
- turn off the system
- plug the primary drive back in
- boot into windows
- plug in the second drive
- set it to 'online' in disk management
- run MSM and see if it will let you create an array
somewhere along the way you might have to delete the LSI array from the boot menu in the D10 BIOS and re-enable it.
my gut feeling is that something is still flagged somewhere and needs to be unflagged for this to work.

What is the best RAID configuration for a MacPro as a Logic User?

There ought to be a universal answer to this question: what is the best RAID configuration for Logic Mac Pro users? I will be more specific.
I use Logic Studio, Reason, Ableton, and Motu Symphonic Instrument simultaneously.
I want to fail safe my precious audio files and improve performance as the system reads/writes data from multiple files, from audio tracks to digital samples.
I want to run video files simultaneously to do nifty audio soundtracking to video.
Here is the configuration I have in mind.
HD 1: OS and Logic Studio, Reason/Ableton samples etc. software (non-raid) (250 GB)
HD 2/3: MIrrored RAID set for AUDIO FILES (500 Gb identical pair)
HD 4: Video files / Bouncing (1 TB)
Makes sense right? A disk for reading software. A pair of 500 GB disks for reading/writing audio files and sessions in mirrored array. A 1 TB disk for video and bouncing. The main question I have is, for audio files only, is striped or mirrored better? 64K blocks the best? And are there any more details. I assume to do this in Disk Utility.

Well, both Mirrored and Striped have their pros and cons. If you use mirrored, it will offer no better performance than the spec'ed drive along with it's sata bus speed. The plus point is, if one drive goes down, you have the second as a backup as the complete contents of one drive are mirrored on the other.
With striped you will get a performance boost because all files (for example a single project) will get written across both drives and hence split the load on the drives and the SATA busses. The drawback is that you'll have to make sure you have a good, regular backup schedule in place because when one of the drives goes to drive heaven, you're going to be stuffed without a full backup of both drives.
Exactly what performance boost you'd get will depend on your project, number of files, size of files, fragmentation of files, track count etc. You may find it would be easier to use the 3 drives straight, with no raid and have:
HD 1: OS and Apps. No samples at all.
HD2: Audio Files for Logic projects
HD3: Reason, Ableton, Logic etc instrument sample library
HD4: Video and bouncing.
Which is what I ended up doing although I use HD4 as an interchangeable backup for HD1 and 2.
There is no universal answer to this as each must make their own choice based on their preferences and needs. Mirrored will give you full backup but on-site, in machine backup. Not much good if something untoward and drastic happens to the physical machine. I think a few people toy with striped RAID but fall on the side of using the drives straight, as in their projects they don't see a big enough gain over splitting the data across your 3 remaining drives without RAID. Studios that seriously consider raid often go out and get a dedicated raid that can offer more variations than raid 0 or raid 1 (Striped and Mirrored) and better throughput.
I hope this helps a little and not just added to the dilemma.

PT8 Neo SATA Raid Configuration Utility

I recently upgraded my system which was running a AMD athlon 1.2GHZ processor and only 128mb SDRAM. The system was stable and running windows XP home edition.
I upgraded to the PT8 Neo motherboard which supports SATA hard drives. I was expecting a dramatic increase when I upgraded my system to the new P4 800mhz FSB 3.0GB processor and 512MB DDR 400mhz ram.
I was still using my WD 60GB EIDE Hard Drive when I upgraded the Motherboard, Ram, & Processor. The upgrade went smoothly and system worked without glitches.
Unsatisfied with the increase in performance, I also purchased a Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10000 RPM hard drive using the SATA interface cable.
I have updated the bios of the motherboard and updated the driver for the SATA raid controller using Live Bios Update 3.
I am having 2 problems:
Problem 1. When I enter the bios for the SATA Raid configuration utility after the initial post by pressing , none of the selections are available. I move my arrows down but nothing highlights and I can't select anything in the configuration utility except ESC key to exit.
The SATA controller is enabled in the BIOS.
The initial SATA Raid Configuration displayed immediately after the post, does show the hard drive.
I want to be able to boot from the new WD Raptor Hard Drive and transfer all the existing files from the IDE Drive to the SATA drive, but I can't seem to get the drive to initialize, format, fdisk, etc.
Problem 2. Windows XP doesn't have enough resources available to activate the VIA Serial ATA RAID Controller in Device Manager. It shows a Yellow ! and returns a code 12 (This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use). I have tried disabling several items in the bios including LAN support, On board Sound but nothing seems to work.
Keep in mind, I have downloaded the latest bios, latest drivers, etc.
The rest of the components on my machine are as follows:
1. Custom Built Computer (Non-Branded)
2. 60GB Western Digital 7200 RPM IDE Hard Drive on IDE0 (Master)
3. DVD Rom on IDE0 (Slave)
4. MSI 52x32x52x CDRW on IDE1 (Master)
5. Zip 100 IDE Drive (Slave)
6. Floppy Drive
7. Pentium 4 3.0GZ 800mhz FSB
8. 512mb DDR 400mhz Memory
9. ATI All-In-Wonder PCI Video Card
10. SIIG Firewire controller
I have already tried removing the SIIG firewire controller thinking that it was getting in the way of available resources. That did not work.
I have invested alot of money on this system, I wanted the best and have always used MSI motherboards because of their stability and reliability.
Please help as soon as possible.
Thanks

first off you are only using one SATA so no option are avalible in Raid Bios
in order to install windows the safe way detach your 60ata hrad drive plug in the raptor and install windows then Press F6 at the begining the you will have to the SATA diskett in the floppy drive in stall SATA windows drivers continue with install.
once you are fished Windows, drivers then shut down and plug in your ATA hard drive turn on your PC enter the bios navagate to the Advanceed BIOS Features/Boot Sequency selected your SATA raid drive as First boot then CD roms as second. then your done boot in to windows

RAID configurations for RHEL partition

We have RHEL 5.x in our production environment using VMware which is configured on RAID using RAID 1, RAID 5 & RAID 10. I had couple of queries with RAID configuration:
1) Is it possible for a RHEL partition to have 2 RAID configurations, like some part of partition on RAID 1 and the remaining on RAID 5?
2) How to identify the RAID configurations used by a RHEL partition.
I hope, I have been able to explain the problem.
Requesting a reply to my query.
Regards

1) Is it possible for a RHEL partition to have 2 RAID configurations, like some part of partition on RAID 1 and the remaining on RAID 5?
No. RAID configurations work on the block level and do not use logical partitions. You can however partition a RAID volume.
2) How to identify the RAID configurations used by a RHEL partition.
Depends what you are using. If you have a hardware RAID, it is transparent to the OS and cannot be seen without using any hardware specific host adapter utilities. If it is software, it depends on mdadm, LVM or BTRFS. What are you using?
P.S. you will most likely do not want to use RAID 5 unless you have special hardware controller to deal with RAID 5 checksums, etc. It's definitely not a solution for large storage, since it will take days to rebuild in case of a failure.

Hello !!
The Bios configuration depends on many factors.....but we do not know anything about your configuration. ( CPU, RAM, Powersupply.....)
If you need HDD Speed, RAID 0 will be a good Option and you should consider it.
Both Controllers, Silicon Image & nvidia, have the same speed. But i think you can not attach Optical drives to the Silicon Image Controller. ( if someone has other experiance please post )
Good Luck
