Raid ideas and solutions

Hey Guys
I was looking at Lacie and GTechs FW800 Raid setups with swapple drives.
I am looking for a workflow that will allow me to capture to a drive. Cut edit than save the final product to that drive. Once the drive is full pack it up and archive it away.
Working with the HVX has changed my ideas on "backing up".
Is this a workflow that would work on these Raid Dirves offered by Lacie or GTech? Buy spare drives as I need them.
Also which would be the better of the two?
I own both brands for regular externals- I have had three out of seven Lacies fail. Three out of Three Gtechs still strong
Can anyone offer advice. I would prefer FW800 over Sata because I would like to plug my laptop in when needed.

IPhone 5 doesn't want to turn on...out of ideas and solutions

Last week I restored my iphone 5 and I also updated it, it worked normally but the only problem was that battery was dying pretty fast. After charging it I turned it off and after a day when I tried to turn it on again it just didn't want to do that. I thought that battery died, I tried to charge it but there was no signs of charging, I tried turning it on, even pressed home button and power button but nothing was appearing, it was completely dead. Earlier I took it to this store and tried to change the charger and also to check if it was the battery but even after that phone stayed dead. I don't know what could be the problem. I tried everything. I can't turn it on, power-home button is not working obviously, when I try to connect it to itunes it doesn't recognize it at all (like it is not even connected), I tried changing usb and battery and still nothing. Any ideas?

Hey luyo5,
Here is an article that will help you address this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

When using Safari, my iPad 1 will end Safari and return to the home screen for no apparent reason, any ideas as to cause and solution?

See if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad might also help.

Hey mjmsurrey60,
It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network. I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
Unplug the 8600 while powered on
Unplug the power from the router
COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode. Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone. The steps are similar for other iDevices.
Wait 30-60 seconds
Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
Plug the 8600 back in for power
Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
Try to print again
Let me know the results.

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, Linda

My ipad won't start up. I downloaded iTunes on my pc while my iPad was charging - could this have caused the problem? I don't want to restore to factory settings and lose data. I also recently successfully paired my ipad with a bluetooth keypad. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks, L

FYI, your iPad will charge much faster if you plug it directly into an electrical outlet.
When doing the reset, as Jackkcc suggests, make sure you let go of both buttons fairly promptly after the apple image appears, then wait another 10 seconds or so for the iPad to start up. Note that a reset does not alter any data or settings.

KT3 Ultra2BR, MS-6280E Raid, suspend, and other issues

Hello!
Well, actually my box performs admirably. There are some annoying quirks tho, which you guys might have some solution to it.
1. My system have been working so fine, with ABSOLUTELY no problems. Things running fine means no errors, no BSOD, not even crashes, but one thing actually: SUSPEND. Everytime I purposedly or accidentally press the suspend button (either on windows' shutdown menu or the suspend button on my keyboar), the screen goes blank, suspended. When I wake it back, it throw a BSOD right on my face! I tried changing S1 suspend state to S3. With S3, things goes even worse with the system hangs on the videocard bios display. Anyone successfully implemented S1 and/or S3 suspend states? With this I had to disable/hide the suspend button, so no more accidents. Anyway if anyone can give me some solution I would gladly take.
2. This one refers to RAID versions of the mobo. I get to wait about 15 seconds on "Starting WindowsXP" boot screen because I enable the Promise Fasttrak133 RAID controller. I have to enable it cuz I have many IDE devices plugged to my mobo. When I disable it, the boot up screen only show for about 2 seconds (as most of you would already know in non-RAID versions). What's with this RAID thing? Before this mobo, I used ABIT VP6 with highpoint RAID controller and these extraordinary long wait times did not occur. Well, just the wait times though, after windowsxp booted, things went fine. But this is annoying sometimes.
That is all I think,
For anything from attention to solutions you guys are going to give, I would say Thank You.

Hello again,
Thank you for the quick response.
Well, I haven't tried reinstalling the windows since if I do so I would have to set up everything from scratch and that will waste much time. But again I think reinstalling windows can help fix things around, I hope. I will do if time allows. Thanks. Anyways I wonder whether YOU could implement the S1 and/or S3 state successfully with your system, can you?
Also I'd like to update that the wait time is not 15 seconds, but actually 40 seconds!!! Isn't that annoying? Well, the wait times diminishes if I restart my computer from hibernation, which provide no wait times and my system could start in merely seconds. Well, that makes me wonder tho. Is the wait time really necessary? If so, why restarting from hibernation need no such wait time at all? Could there be a driver update or bios update to address this problem?
And again there's another problem just risen lately. Its shutdown problem. Occasionally when I shutdown my system, it shuts down but immediately start up again. It's like the shutting down mechanism failed. This didn't happen before, just recently. Any clue why this is happening? I'm afraid the jump from immediate restart after shutdown will eventually break my harddrives.
Thank you for your attention,
regards

Best IDE and how-to create HTML for a swing Applet

Can you help me out? I've been using, and teaching with the old Symantec VisualCafe product from long, long, ago. It still works fine & I can even use it to build JFC/Swing Applets etc. But a few things have occurred. For one, a way back, Symantec sold VisualCafe to WEBGAIN - who now has gone out of business and sold it to a company called TOGETHERSOFT - who doesn't support it any longer.
This isn't really a big deal to me, because I can still build and deploy applets that are pre-swing easily enough. (as can my students)
HOWEVER... I'd like to be running with the LATEST Java (I think it's 1.4.01) and I'd LIKE to use whatever is the best development environment I can use - especially one I can recommend to my students. Do you know what that should be?
What's more, I'd still like to take some JFC/Swing created applets (even if compiled with the older VisualCafe IDE) and generate the HTML to allow 1.4 enabled browsers to run them (this is the case for the schools versions of Explorer and Netscape). Now, the HTML I have INSTALLED for the students used the HTML converter - back in 1.2 to produce the HTML at the bottom of this. This code no longer works now with current browsers. Do you know HOW one makes a jfc/swing compiled applet run on the latest browsers?
Any help or direction you can give would be appreciated.
thanks,
Bobby Berns

Bobby,
It's been a while since I've used the HTML Converter, but if I had to guess I'd say you need a newer version than what you have. Also, doesn't the converter allow you to choose which JDK you want to use (in which case you could select 1.4)? Again it's been a while so bear with me. Another option would be to put all the Swing classes into a .jar file (typically called swingall.jar) on your server and include that file as an attribute in your applet tag like this:
<APPLET CODE="yourApplet.class" ARCHIVE="swingall.jar">
This way you don't have to use the Java Plug-in, however the initial download time of the .jar file can be significant.
As for an IDE, I've always been happy using a text editor like UltraEdit. However, I've heard good things about Forte, and hey, it's free!
Regarding Christina's post, that solution will only work if the Applet does not use Swing components (and Bobby specifically said it does). By using the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags, rather than the <APPLET> tag, you force the browser to use the Java Plug-in (rather than the browser's default JVM).
Hope that helps,

Install both SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive

Hi, SDN fellows.
I just want to confirm this.
I am trying to install SAP ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and Solution Manager in C drive. Are these OK, since they both will be installed under the C:\usr folder?
What precaution we need to install these two SAP components in the same drive (C)?
I am installing both components in MS Window Server 2008 R2 SP1 with MS SQL Server 2005 SP3.
Thanks,
KC

Hi, Nick.
Sorry, I missed the "IDES". I am installing SAP ECC6.0 EHP4 IDES system for training purpose within the organization.
I am referring to the Installation Guide - SAP ERP 6.0 EHP Ready ABAP on Window MS SQL Server (Based on NW 7.0 incl EHP 1). All downloaded installation files are from: EHP4 for SAP ERP 6.0/NW7.01 --> IDES --> --> Widnows Server --> MS SQL Server.
The OS is installed in C drive.
I have allocated 250GB in C drive and 200GB in D drive from SAN.
For IDES system (I know it is similar to the standard ECC), is it also recommended to install in D drive (separate from the OS)?
In this case, should I install both Solution Manger and IDES in D drive?
Or what is the best combination where I should install these two systems?
Thanks,
KC

Best Practice on Knowledge Management, IS01 Problems and Solutions

Been Playing with KM and looking for insight from other users (will give points) using it for ICWC.
We have mulitple product lines where we have documents with Q & A's in each line. As I look at moving that into CRM via IS01, I am looking for any Best Practices or recommendations.
1. Create a single problem and solution for every question.
2. Create a single problem (list all questions) for every product line and create multiple solutions that are linked to that problem (solution for each question)
3. Is LMSW a good tool for loading data in mass?
The ICWC search brings back the 1st line on the problem & solution on the screen, meaning I try to limit the characters used so it fits on the ICWC screen, a long 1st line on the problem doesn't allow the agent to see enough of the solution without opening the link.
Thanks,

Hello Glenn,
If it helps, here's a scenario about KB on my company system.
Our call center supervisors are the persons who creates problem and solutions in our KB. They maintain it but don't use IS01 transaction. They use instead People Centric BSP's for Problem s and solutions (they're integrated in IC webclient with the help of transaction launcher).
Normally, they prefer creating multiple solutions to one problem, instead of single problem - single solution method. This because some questions may have multiple solutions. They could put all the solutions text in one solution object, but for maintainance purposes we think it's better to create multiple solutions object to every solution text, because if one solution becames obsete, all we have to do is unlink instead of changing the text.
We don't use LSMW. I don't have much experience in LSMW, but if you use it, be careful to respect KB interval numbers for problems and solutions. We implement an initial set of problems and solutions in our Development system, and we passed to the Quality and Produtive system, with the precious help of sap note '728295 - Transport the SDB customization between two CRM systems' and '728668 -Transport the content of the SDB between two CRM systems'.
One cool idea to use the KB is using Auto-suggest feature. The idea is to integrate the links between problems and solutions with, for example, service ticket categorization, using BSP Category modeler, and when an agent classifies a ticket, at the top of the screen it will appear the suggested solutions/problems for the classification choosen.
I think that's all.
Sorry for my poor english. Today I'm not feeling very inspirated
Kind regards.

Raid Card and Multiple Hardrives.

does anyone have any idea if I can use the raid card to use a seperate hard drive to run windows and then use another drive for mac OSX? That way I don't have to worry about partitioning my hardrive. If there is any way to do so I would really like to know. Also any cheaper suggestions for a raid card?

Fact is you cannot use the APPLE RAID CARD and also run Windows on any of the internal SATA ports. Unless you want to play around with iPass or reroute the cables.
http://www.apple.com/support/macpro/
I consider the RAID card more hinderance, and not just in terms of Boot Camp.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Windows 7 is fine, more users probably than use Leopard, and runs well, no issues, and better than Vista even with SP2.

K8N DIAMOND: New Raid array and old HD... I'm going crazy!!! Please

Hi guys
First, sorry for my poor english...
My problem is:
I bought two Raptor 36 Gb for my new raid array.
I have my old HD Hitachi 250 Gb connected on sata 1.
I connected my two raptor, on sata 3 and 4, I enabled all sata port and raid config for ports 3 and 4.
I restart PC, typed F10 and set a stripe array with two raptor. All run ok...
Restarted and boot with my copy of WinXP with SP2 and NF4 raid drivers.
Installation found my array and my Hitachi;
Hitachi with 4 partitions; C (os), D (driver), E (films), F (music)
I create one partitions on my raid array, and it takes I: letter... So I formatted and start to copy os...
Errors occurs when, restarting pc and resetting the boot to Hard disk (the order of booting is 1 - nvidia array, 2 - hitachi 250 gb), just before loading installation, It shows a black screen with an error: "there is an error in your hard disk bla bla bla.. try to control your connection or connect to windows help....bla bla..."
The Raid array works properly, infact I try to disconnect my Hitachi from sata port 1 and all installation works (I'm writing from Win xp on the raid array).
I tried to connect the hitachi on port 1 of silicon image controller.... same error..!!
I'm desperate... I have all my life on my hitachi...
I think that there's a sort of conflict in drive letter assignement... I cant find a solution ..
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Glad it worked, I had a feeling it would.

One question for you.. on G: partition, there's a directory called "Windows", do you suggest me to format this partition??
You can format it if you want to free up space, but unless you moved things around the My documents folder and everything in it is on that partition, along with anything you might of had on the old desktop during that Windows install. You might have something you want there, I usually leave mine for a few month, and figure out if I have everything I need.
Quote
What I have to do, if I need to reinstall WIn XP on first partition of raptor array??
Things should be fine now as Windows marked the Hitachi drive as G. You should be able to reinstall without issue. But if you have a lot of sensitive info on the Hitachi, I would always disconnect the Hitachi if doing a fresh install. Once windows is done installing, hook it back up. But next time you shouldn't have to reconfigure NVRAID after disconnecting and reconnecting.

Workaround for Hardware Raid-Card and Bootcamp

I have ordered my new Mac Pro with the optional raid-card by Apple. Since there are no drivers for Windows XP or Vista available, harddrives attached to the card cannot be used for bootcamp to boot from. But it seems the Apple ships teh new Mac Pros with all drive bays connected to the raid-card. I was wondering if i could bypass the card by detaching one of the SATA-cables and plug it into the mainboard directly to use the first (or last) drive bay for a separate boot drive (WD velociraptor 300 GB) with a partition for Mac OSX 10.5 and Windows XP (each 150 GB) on this drive. I want use the rest of the harddrives attached to the RAID-card for a raid 0 under Mac OSX only. Windows XP will use an external storage case connected by Firewire 800.

Hi,
I believe the iPass cable connects all four hard disks with a single connector. This makes it difficult to remove one bay from the Apple Card. My experience is that you either use the card for all four bays or you disconnect the card and use the stock motherboard SATA interface.
I found using an external RAID box allows me to have all four internal hard disk bays available for boot disk or boot camp use. The external SeriTek/5PM provides my RAID. I can use the HighPoint RR2314 for a five disk RAID 5 configuration or the Sonnet Tempo E4P if I want a RAID created by Disk Utility. Using multiple SeriTek/5PM enclosures can increase the performance.
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/firmtek/5pm/
http://firmtek.stores.yahoo.net/sata5pm.html
If you want even higher RAID performance and SAS compatibility and don't mind spending more $$$ the HighPoint RocketRAID 4322 RAID 5/6 Controller provides amazing performance with the Enhance RS16 JS SAS expander enclosure. The AMUG tests show this combination can provide RAID 6, sixteen disk average write performance of 696MB/sec. and 833MB/sec. read performance.

http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/datoptic/rm16_ex8/
There are lots of RAID solutions available for the Mac Pro. However, I find the internal Apple RAID lack of Boot Camp support is too restrictive and higher performance is available from 3rd party solutions at a better performance to cost ratio.
Have fun!

Completely messed up Raid-Array and Partition! How to delete and create new Raid-Array?

Hello,
I am using Ideapad U310 and tried to clean install Windows 8 and use my SSD as CACHE and Hibernate-Partition.
So, I was able to get to the Intel CTRL+I-RAID Config Menu and there I was able to create and delete my RAIDS.
Unfortunately I did not setup the Partition Size correctly, thus I only have a 50 GB Partition combined with my SSD and my HDD. This is what it looks like in the Intel Storage Manager:
As you can see both, my SSD and HDD appears, but only have small partitions on the right. And Windows 8 only recognizes this small partitions, as you can see here:
And now I am NOT able to get to the Intel RAID CTRL+I-menu before Windows starts, where I could delete this array.
My Partitions are "empty", so I dont care if anything is delete. I just want to use raid with FULL CAPACITY of my harddrives. But how can I delete the RAID Arrays and reconfigure them correctly?
When I change in the BIOS from RAID to AHCI I am able to install Windows 8 again with the whol CAPACITY of my SSD and HDD. But then I will not be able to use the RAID via Intel Storage Manager...
Hopefully someone could help me.
Thank you in advance.

If i disable raid, i still get the NV IDE BIOS screen, it just shows a message other than 'detecting array' with a flashing cursor and does exacly the same thing. It just wont get to the next stage.
I havent tried flashing the bios yet as my floppy seems to be dead. Could that help? Im not entirely sure if its the raid screen causing the problem anyway, it could be whatever is supposed to happen next, that just isnt.
p.s. Clearing cmos didnt help.
[/quoteTry flipping the cable over on your floppy drive.
