SCCM Report for hard disk mode (IDE/AHCI)

May I ask you if anyone of you is aware of and has an example on how to create a SCCM report to find out if the hard disk mode is set to IDE or AHCI?
Many thanks

Yes, I know this is an old post, I’m trying to clean them up, Did you figure this out, if so how?
This information is not collected by default and therefore you will need to collect it first before you can report on it.

After creating RAID 5 for hard disks, CIMC shows Modrate fault

Dear all,
There are two UCS servers which the model is C240 M3
When I created RAID 5 for hard disks, CIMC shows Modrate fault.
The warring message is
storage virtual drive 0 degraded: please check the storage controller, or reseat the storage drive ucs
anybody has idea for this case? Thank you!

Is it an solution? Thank you!
The warning message appears if you do not have a Battery BAckup Unit Instllated on the server. I just worked with Cisco TAC and following is the solution.:
1. Launch KVM Console of the server
2. Power Cycle the Server
3. When LSI RAID configuration window displays, press CTRL+H and start the RAID Configuration Utility.
4. Click on Virtual Drive. Example Virtual Drive 0.
5. Change Default Write Mode to "Write Through" and click "Change"
6. Press "Yes" to take the effect.
7. Exit from RAID Configuration Utility nad restart the server.

MiniStack and its "Hard disk mode" ?

The miniStack is equipped with a switch for external "Hard disk mode" (Firewire or USB). I find this not only confusing because this device is already an external HD but also because the term "Hard disk mode" offers no meaning to me. Just what is the function of this switch being on/off ? Is it peculiar to the Mac mini ? The latest miniStack also touts a "v2" designator! What does this mean and what was "v1" ?
I'm looking at getting 2x 500GB miniStacks for my PM G5 as the form factor is just right for placing on top of the PM case and they match up style-wise. However, the above items have me confused. Any feedback on this would be helpful and thanks in advance.

Found my answer at OWC.
"The miniStack powers on and off with the Mac mini when the power switch is in the "on" position, but functions like any other hard drive in every other regard. Since the drive functions as a USB and FireWire hub, there are three FireWire ports (one is used to connect the drive to the computer), and three USB ports (with another for connecting to the computer). When the drive is off, the hubs do not work, so if you want to use your peripherals, it's a good idea to keep the miniStack turned on. A switch selects whether or not the drive connects to the computer as a USB or FireWire drive. For most users, FireWire mode will be the best choice."

You can try Restoring it in iTunes but I believe you will end up needing to have it serviced.

Power Mac G4 1.25Dual shuts down when pressing T for target disk mode

I am hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I am trying to put my G4 dual 1.25Ghz into target disk mode to transfer my apps and settings to my new Quad G5. I start the G4, hold "t", and instead of showing me the comforting bouncing firewire symbol, the computer shuts down completely. Restarting it without holding "t" will result in normal bootup. I have tried a different keyboard and power cable to no avail. I have reset open firmware, reset the PMU all to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the response Dale. Unfortunately the computer I am putting into Target Disk Mode (The G4 1.25Dual) definitely has an ATA bus. I use target disk mode with other computers in the studio almost daily so was somewhat surprised to see that this one just shuts down instead. I am still hoping someone might have some insight.

If an iPod is in "use as hard disk" mode, could I drag and drop songs to it

After countless attempts to sync my iTunes into this iPod I just obtained, with iTunes, Finder, sometimes both programs hanging and freezing up, since I pick "use iPod as hard disk" as an option, couldn't I just drag and drop my iTunes tracks into the iPod via just a pair of Finder windows? I mean if it can work like a USB drive, I think it wouldn't be impossible to do the same with my songs, since they are just files as well, since I am having such a horrible ordeal syncing this iPod. I am on the verge of my 6th Restore in almost as many days and at best I could load songs into it one by one, but sometimes it would even balk for the most curious reasons such as:
song running over 5 1/2 minutes in length
song consisting of mp3 I d/l-ed elsewhere independent of iTunes Store
song purchased from iTunes a very long time ago
the 4th or 6th song in a row being synced, no matter the type
I have little idea why this iMac is giving me so much guff, as my sister has the same model that works without complaint for her.

Curses, foiled again! Maybe you additionally have an idea why my 4th gen 20 GB iPod seems to make Finder, iTunes, and occasionally Disk Utility hang and stop responding when all I am trying to do is attempt to make the iPod work as designed ie: accept my iTunes songs, keep them and have them available for playback. It is fully charged, yet most of the time it chokes when I am trying to Restore it, so every time I do manage to restore it, it takes about 4 or 5 incremental attempts of completing Restore until I get it going again. Then I am only able to get it running by manually loading the songs one track at a time until I get up to about 30 or so and it unravels upon my attempts to put all of them on, even adding them manually one song at a time.

Firewire Cable (for target disk mode)

Hi all,
I'm using a Late 2010 27" i5 iMac and a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro. I'm going to reformat and reinstall the iMac this weekend but need to grab all my Music/Documents (you know the drill) from it. Last time I did this, I did it over a 100mbps network, needless to say it was absolutely horribly slow. So, today I'm going to pick up a cheap-ish firewire cable and target my laptop as a disk using target disk mode.
Which type of Firewire cable do I need to buy? It's either a 4-pin or 6-pin choice, no 9-pins available at the shop I intend to visit. I have no idea what the difference is between them - hardware is definitely not my game.
Both ports look like this (taken from Apple's docs, Firewire 800):
Any advice would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andy

I'm using a Late 2010 27" i5 iMac and a Late 2009 15" MacBook Pro.
Just verified the specs for these two in MacTracker just to be sure. Yes, both are FW800. So you need a 9-pin to 9-pin FW cable (like these)

Compatible USB enclosure for hard disk from a 15-inch Aluminum Powerbook

My old Powerbook finally bit the dust, so I dismantled it and removed the hard disk. I want to get an enclosure to use it as a USB drive, but do not know what size or type of enclosure to purchase.
I tried to guess, and ended up buying:
Connectland CL-ENC25005 2.5-Inch Light Weight USB 2.0 Interface SATA HDD External Enclosure
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028Y4D9U/ref=oxya_ohproduct
When I got it, the connector in the enclosure was too small for the number of pins on the hard drive. Can somebody recommend an appropriate USB enclosure to use with an old Powerbook hard disk?

Hi, jakshale, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Your Serial ATA (SATA) enclosure isn't what you need, as you've guessed; your drive is a Parallel ATA (PATA, also called IDE) unit and needs an enclosure designed for that interface. Any enclosure intended for 2.5" ATA/IDE/PATA notebook drives will work. Here's one that's almost as dirt cheap as the one you bought:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817106093
Note that if you intend to use the newly-repackaged drive with a Powerbook, a USB-only enclosure isn't a good choice unless you get one that can use its own AC adapter. This is because most Powerbooks don't supply enough power through their USB ports to power an external drive. The same Powerbooks do supply sufficient power through their FireWire ports, so an enclosure that can be connected via FireWire is a better choice. If you're going to use the drive with a desktop Mac or an Intel MacBook instead of a Powerbook, a USB enclosure should be fine.

My computer is reporting a hard disk failure. what to do?

My hard disk is reporting a failure (Disk Name Toshiba MK6465G4x ATA Device) on my HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (64 bit OS) which uses windows 7 home premium. When I run a hard disk check, it fails (failure M11V51-55V5Q8-XD003G-60E803). ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Unfortunately with that fail code, no it can not be fixed. Some fail codes indicate a recovery can be run or the check disc might fix it, but not with this fail code.
I work for HP.

Options for hard disk upgrade on my MBP 15" (late 2007 - Santa Rosa)

I suspect this is a common question here in the discussions forum, judging by the similar questions posed by other members.
I am however, half-way into my research on hard disk options for that matter and would like to ask some specific questions in order to ensure that my upgrade is not problematic (I have been quite happy with my MBP so far :-))
The model I have is the A1226 (Intel Core Duo, 2.2Ghz, 4GBs. This currently has the 111.79GB Fujitsu MHW2120BH hard disk, which is almost full now; hence, the need for an upgrade.
I quite fancy the WD Scorpio Blacks, particularly the 500GB ones, even though the 320GB ones will also do to a lesser extent. My questions on this brand/type are:
(1) Will it have an impact on the heat generated inside the Macbook (vs. my current situation)?
(2) Will it have an impact in the battery consumption (vs. my current situation)?
(3) Will there be an issue with the SATA speed? My MBP supports 1.5GB/s while this drive operates at 3GB/s.
(4) If I opt for the respective model with the free fall sensor, will this function work with my MB? (NB: Not sure if relevant, but the System Profiler reports: Suddem Motion Sensor: State = Enabled)
My aim is to clean up my current disc, upgrade it to the new bigger one and then re-install Mac OS X Leopard, upgrade to Snow Leopard and then re-install all apps. All files are backed up anyway with TimeMachine, so no issue there. If you can think of any potential issue with the upgrade and what I intend to do further after, please share it.
The machine is out of warranty - but that doesn't mean that I want to cause damage here...
Thanks.

(5) What other safe options are there for upgrade drives with a 500GB capacity?
For loading/unloading heads, I'm not sure one model/brand has been found to be better than another.
Can I avoid this problem if I get the Scorpio Black 500GB w/o the free fall sensor? (Model: WD5000BEKT on http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=854).
The SMS conflict, yes.
In such a case, will Apple's Sudden Motion Sensor work?
Yes.
Or to paraphrase, can SMS park the heads of a WD hard disk w/o the free fall sensor?
Yes, that is what it was developed for. Since that time, more and more HD manufacturers have incorporated it into the HD itself. There are two schools of thought on this: 1. The "SMS" built in to a HD is more properly "mated" to the HD mechanism itself, so could save a nanosecond or two engaging. 2. In the nanoseconds it takes to engage, a nanosecond here or there is not going to matter. Personally, I believe the latter. There is no need for an "SMS" enabled HD in an SMS enabled Mac. I'm sure some others believe differently.
(NB: Interesting that the issues with SMS and the WD Scorpio have been documented in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuddenMotionSensor).
Ah, good old wiki. I hadn't seen that before. Thanks for sharing.
No mention there of whether it is applicable to the drives with the free fall sensor or the ones w/o it (or even both).
It actually does state it is in reference to the "aftermarket hard drives already equipped with anti-shock features." That writeup is dated however, as I believe there are more issues reported with Seagate these days.

SCCM Report for Laptop Battery Condition

Good morning,
We are in a situation where we're needing to monitor conditions of laptop batteries in the school district I manage. I have added the laptop batteries class(Win32_Battery) and have all required/requested information checked under this class. This
has been set for a week, so all devices should be inventoried by now.
How do you recommend my getting a report together that shows battery condition/etc? The fields I would like to see are ones such as:
Win32_Battery
battery status
design capacity
design voltage
Expected Life
Error Description
Full Charge Capacity
Really anything that will help us in knowing which laptops batteries need replacing.
I am not that knowledgeable about SQL reporting/SCCM reporting, so any help in getting this is greatly appreciated. Any resources that you can point me in for getting more familiar with creating my own reports would be greatly appreciated. I
don't even know where to begin.
Thank you!

Good you have added the class. Please use the following link for the detailed information about Win32_Battery:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394074(v=vs.85).aspx
Last Full Charge should guide your decision on replacement.

How do you query bios for hard disk drives?

Is there any way to query the bios to find out the interupt address (i.e. 80x) of all the attached hard disks?
Only I need to manually figure it out for installing grub or lilo.

If you have a working Linux system installed you can do lspci -v, but it sounds like you are just installing, so you can't do this. Why do you need to know the interrupts for your hard drives for GRUB/LILO? I don't recall ever having to know this information to install either LILO or GRUB or even the FreeBSD boot loader.

Hi,
The below code should work to get all servers that have alert of logical disk free space is low in specific period:
get-alert -criteria 'Name = ''Logical Disk Free Space is low'' AND TimeRaised >=''3/24/2014'' AND TimeRaised <= ''4/24/2014''' | select MonitoringObjectDisplayName,MonitoringObjectPath,Name,TimeRaised | sort MonitoringObjectDisplayName
Here is a similar thread for your reference:

No FireWire cable for Target Disk Mode

I have an original MacBook1,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. It will not start up, I have tried everything on this Apple web page , Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup, besides an erase and reinstall and I don't know what to do. It won't read the Snow Leopard update disk (My other two Macs do). When I restart In Verbose Mode, it always stops right after 'Airport: RSN handshake complete on en1'. When i started my other Mac in Verbose Mode, after 'Airport: RSN handshake complete on en1', it went straight to the login window. I called Apple support and they said that I need to perform an erase and reinstall but first I need to get an install disk for Mac OS X Tiger 10.4. and get some things off using Target Disk Mode. I do not have a FireWire cable and do not want to have to go and buy one. I have an Ethernet cable and a male - male USB cord. The two other Macs that I have are an iMac7,1 running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and a MacBook6,1 running Mavericks 10.9.4. If you have any solutions for fixing it without the erase, or just a way to get my info off of it, please help.
Thank you in advance!

The USB cable won't be useful in that situation, and the Ethernet one will only help if you have access to a computer running Mac OS X Server. Get a FireWire cable.
