Raw disk on server 2008 R2

Hi all
first - thanks H.V for an amazing utility!
Sorry if I am doubling on this but i tried searching for anyone with the same issue....
it seems that running vdbench on server 2008R2 raw disk ( no partition at all ) i cannot access it via \\.\physicaldiskX where x is the number
u can only create partition , not format it and access \\.\Z: where z is the drive letter assigned
I am following H.V.'s advice :
https://blogs.oracle.com/henk/entry/vdbench_and_raw_write_i
and i actually want to access a no file system disk.
why the need for creating a partition ?
thanks
Isaac

well, silly of me, i did not save the error messages.
i just tried to replicate the error and it did not appear. ( i.e. it works  ) 
i CAN say though that when i tried using the older version (5.0.2 with the gui ) it said no raw devices found. ( still does )
i am running in a virtual machine attached a test disk to it, and just could not run..
same commands hold now ( even with the older version ) as long as i don't use the gui ( which i wanted for tutorial purpose)
so in a way problem fixed ( as you do not support the GUI , and i can run it now )
i gotta admit though it does bother me because i did not do anything different ( BTW when trying to recreate the issue , i completely remove the disk from the VM , and created a new one ( just because i though a delay in updating the OS might have something to do with it - but nope.)
is there any append log i can dig the error ? ( if it is of any interest )
thanks

  • ExFat External Hard Drive showing up as RAW on Server 2008

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Server 2008 support ExFat? I plugged an external HD to a 2008 box and it can't read it and it shows up as RAW on disk
    management. I plugged it into a Server 2008 R2 and it was readable. The size of the external HD is 3TB.

    Hi Gary_Leung1,
    Both Windows Vista with SP1 or later and Windows Server 2008 support exFAT with removable storage devices. Please try to assigned a drive letter to your disk if it now come
    online please run  the chkdsk /f on this disk then monitor this issue again.

  • Should I Install SQL Server 2008 R2 on a VHDX or Pass-through disk

    Hi,
    I am in going to be setting a virtual server running Windows Server 2008 R2 on my Hyper-V cluster and I will be also adding SQL Server 2008 R2 once the OS is configured. Can you please suggest whether I should setup a VHDX or a pass-through disk? I have
    read articles online suggesting to use a pass-through disk from my SAN but I also read that since Windows Server 2012, VHDX is as good as a pass-through disk, especially because it will allow to have snapshots taken, unlike the pass-through which will not.
    Please advise on whether I should chose a pass-through disk or a VHDX.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Aquila,
    There are three basic types of Virtual Hard Disks (VHDs) that you can use with VMs, such as dynamic VHD, fixed VHD, and differencing disks. Usually, the fixed VHD is almost always the best choice for virtualized SQL Server systems that run a production workload.
    You can use dynamic disks for noncritical production workloads, as well as for testing, training, and lab environments. Pass-through disks offer the highest level of performance for VM storage, however, Pass-through disks can't be moved without incurring downtime,
    and they don't support VM snapshots. For more information, see：http://sqlmag.com/sql-server/sql-server-virtualization-tips
    In addition, there is an article about how to setup boot from VHD for a SQL Server. You can review the following link.

  • Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 Using 4TB hard disk

    Hi, I have a HP X1600 G2, then I bought 12 x 4TB hard disk for increasing the disk space for this unit.
    What I want to do is using the hardware array to configure the following:
    3 x 4TB RAID-5 plus 1 Spare to create 3 Logical Drives.
    Then Spanned set it to a total of 24TB drive within the system.
    Is it going to be work, or not?
    As I read the article 
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773268(v=ws.10).aspx

    Thanks in advance, Fortuno

    Thanks Shaon,
    Yes, after I setup on the RAID controller, with GPT on the hard disk, I am able to create the spanned set for 24TB on the Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 that comes with the unit.

  • Not able to extend the disk partition in our server 2008

    Hi  all,
    extend the partition but t it not able to do that.We are using the windows server 2008 in our setup. one of my exchange server I want to extend the partition. I had already extend the partition but now its not able to do that and shows the below  error.
    in the diskmangement view I can  see the partition  in splitted format when ever I previously extended  it shows the same( I extended 3, 4 times).  is it ok to delete the Splitted partition?
    awaiting for the solutions eagerly.
    Jags

    When the unallocated space is not behind the assigned partition, you cannot directly extend your wanted partition in Disk Management. That may be why you’ve failed at first.
    But, without using disk management tools, you also can try to extend your partition with partition resizing software within several steps.
    Here are detailed steps for you to go on extending your partition space:
    http://www.partition-magic-server-2003.blogspot.com/2013/11/resize-server-2003-partition-free.html
    I hope you can get some clues there.
    Back up all partition data well in advance in case of data loss. 

  • Logical disk free space counters missing for server 2008 r2 and 2012 r2

    I'm trying to get low disk space alerts for server 2008R2 and 2012 R2.  While the monitors exist for 2008 and 2012 (Not-R2), they are missign for all R2 operating systems.  Any idea how to either obtain these monitors, or create them so I can
    get alerts for % disk free alerts?

    What is your meaning of " monitors exist for 2008 and 2012 (Not-R2), they are missing for all R2 operating systems."? Does it means that the monitor is missing on all Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2012 R2 machine or it just a blank circle ?
    By default, Windows XXX Logical disk Free Space monitor is enable for all windows XXX. You may check whether an override to disable it. Moreover, Windows Server XXXX Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low and Windows Server 2008 Logical Disk Free Space (MB) Low
    is disable by default and you should manually enable it.

  • Windows Server 2008 x64 SP2 SAN disks falls off

    Hello!
    We have a Windows Server 2008 Standart SP2 x64, which is connected via two HBAs QLogic QLA2440 to a Storage Xyratex F5402. On DS5402 are located three LUNs for the corporate file storage. These LUNs are displayed in Windows Server as local disks E F G.
    As the MPIO software it is used Xyratex Storview Pathmanager 6.00.5016.14 (Microsoft MPIO Driver 6.0.6002.18005) in Failover\Failback configuration, and three disks are adjusted for work on three different ways.
    It is all normally worked since 2008
    But problems have begun with the beginning of this year.
    In operation time any of the SAN disks falls off. With a F5402 all is normal and its logs there are no errors.
    In Windows Event System Log the folowing errors and warnings:
    EventID: 515, Source: xyrsp200 (Xyratex F5402E Multi-Path Device Specific Module). The path for logical drive [SN: 60050CC00020188D0000000000000007] has failed over to [0005 4:0:1:2] because of a path error.
    EventID: 23, Source: mpio. Errors in all ways. \Device\MPIODisk2 it will be removed.
    EvetID: 260, Source: xyrsp200 The active path on logical drive [SN: 60050CC00020188D0000000000000007] has been switched to the preferred path on [0005 5:0:0:2].
    EventID: 15, Source: disk. Access to the device \Device\Harddisk5\DR5 while is impossible
    and further an disk erors...
    Disk reloading in Windows Disk Manager doesn't help. I am compelled to reboot the server. After reboot all works as though anything and wasn't to the following such case.
    As fall off not all LUNы at once (one can fall off, others and will to work normally) a problem probably either in Windows or in Xyratex Storview Pathmanager.
    After adjustment of monitoring I have found out that at the moment of failure the current queue of a falling disk was 6 and the size of operation of record on a disk has sharply increased.
    May be the disk simply hasn't sustained loading (though strange - Fiber-Chaneell, and High-Perfomance Disks Storage). In Windows it can be somehow possible to optimize operations of work with disks that there were no such falls.
    I need a help !!!

    solves when I restart the server. This was happening frequently and I've changed the MPIO configuration policies. that get better but it was happening in a bit longer periods. 
    I searched and found out I have to install Fibrechannel hotfix (fcinfo_amd64) and Windows6.1-KB2470949-v2-x64 and the mentioned patch above. I did this and for last 3 months that was ok but last night it happens again. 
    It is our monitoring system and send very important messages. please help me.

  • Windows server 2008 R2 is not showing the second hard disk.

    Hi,
    We are having two windows server 2008 R2. In that we have, two hard disk and each with 146GB storage capacity. But it is displaying only the storage capacity of a single hard disk. Seems like the second hard disk in not recognized.
    What can be done to clear this? 
    Regards
    Manoj S

    Hi,
    As Burak mentioned, first you need to check if it displayed in Disk Management.
    If so, see if you can initial it, create a volume and assign a drive letter.
    If not, check if it is recognized in BIOS. Also test if it could be recognized in another computer.

  • Server 2008 R2 Enterprise - 1 Virtual Disk - Using UEFI - 4.5 TB available - Why 2 Disk 0 - Unallocated space entries?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm building a new Dell R720 server. It has a RAID 5 - 6 x 1TB array.
    I am attempting to install Server 2008 R2 Enterprise. I used the build disc supplied by Dell.
    The BIOS is UEFI configured.
    When I launch installation of Server 2008 R2 Enterprise in the storage area it shows:
    Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 2048GB Total Size - Free Space 2048GB
    Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 2607GB Total Size - Free Space 2607GB
    I would like it to show:
    Disk 0 Unallocated Space - 4655GB Total Size - Free Space 4655GB
    I want to partition 1 600GB partition for the OS and the rest for storage of Hyper-V VM's.
    I understand using GPT to format the volume. But I haven't even allocated anything yet and it is showing 1 virtual drive as 2 entries....
    I tried to find a simple answer for what is going on here but I don't really have a lot of time to do hours of research. Just a basic answer would be good if anyone has one. I don't see an initialize option in the RAID controller itself that is of much
    help. Maybe someone has configured an R720 and has an answer already for this? It would be appreciated! We litterally need the full amount of storage allocated for the storage of the VM's as they are huge files being moved from an existing failing Hyper-V
    server.
    Thanks!

    So the answer for this; was after contacting Dell the newer generation Dell servers need to be booted up through the lifecycle controller (F10) > UEFI has to be explicitly chosen (Most of the Dell build discs are configured as MBR) and once the Lifecycle
    Wizard for OS deployment is completed Windows will detect the total amount of available space correctly. The older Dell models you have to download the Build Utility that is capable of GPT / UEFI configuration.
    Just incase anyone else runs into this it is not a Microsoft problem at all.

    The VM's C:/ is hosted on a SAN which is controlled by DataCore SANSymphony-V PSP2.
    I need to perform some work to resolve an underlying issue with the 2008 VM which requires me to perform a 'System Recovery'. When I do this however I am presented with the attached screen shot which lists no drives to repair.
    Looks like 'Load Drivers' is the way to go but what drivers am I supposed to load? Xen drivers? DataCore drivers? Generic drivers? anyone know?

  • How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

    How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
    I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems.  When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell.  I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box.  During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations.  There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb.  After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
    I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation.  I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine.  BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true.  Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box.  After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging.  Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
    From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer.  The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe!  By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost.  Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded.  At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation. 
    PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Back Up SBS
    It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes.  Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason.  Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone.  You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore.  Here are the basic steps:
    Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools.  Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
    Choose the “Custom” radio button.  What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
    Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others.  Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
    Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups.  You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images.  Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency.  Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
    Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product.  If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
    Confirm everything and click “Backup”.  This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
    Verify ISAPI Filters:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
    In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS.  If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
    IsapiFilterModule              %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
    IsapiModule                        %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
    If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
    Set Up Development Environment
    Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\).  For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
    Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory.  This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders. 
    Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane.  Expand the “Sites” folder.  Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
    Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”).  You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name.  NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
    Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
    Don’t worry about testing the connection.  If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV).  Don’t worry about this for the time being.
    Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”).  Click “OK”.
    Configure Application Pools for Installation
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”.  NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
    Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
    Do a search and change this one line from:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
    To this:
    <add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
    Restart the IIS Admin service.
    Set HTTP Compression
    According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
    Click: Start > Programs > Accessories.  Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
    At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
    Run the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
    This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
    Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
    Restart the IIS Admin service.  This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
    NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
    C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
    INSTALLATION TASKS
    Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
    Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
    Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
    If you have an Enterprise license, enter it.  For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
    Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
    I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”.  It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation.  My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
    Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
    THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS.  Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button.  Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”.  Hit “OK”.
    Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”).  Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”).  The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
    Enter an Administrator password.
    Choose to Enable RDS, or not.  I enable this by preference but it is not required.  This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely.  Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
    Confirm everything to kick off the install.
    If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful.  I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install.  NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks.  The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
    POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
    Verify CF Installation:
    The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8.  The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory.  Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
    To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
    This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen.  Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
    Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
    Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
    At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly.  The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start.  Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
    In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.  Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
    In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
    Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time.  This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.).  There is no need to restart IIS.
    Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
    In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”).  In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”.  Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
    Lastly, jump up and down for joy!  Hopefully now, everything is working.  Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

    First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
    Second, this is probably your problem right here:
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
    In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
    As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.
