TS130 1105-19U RAID controller driver issues

I am trying to load WIndows 2008 Server Foundation on some ThinkServers.  In a nutshell, after the Windows 2008 Foundation installer reboots, the server cannot find any bootable devices.  I did this with the TS130 startup DVD, I did this manually loading the newest Intel driver and I tried this manually loading an older Intel driver.  I even took the same driver that is used on another TS130 and that didn't work either.
 I checked the RAID configuration and the logical drive exists. 
Can someone recommend the exact driver I should be using for the Intel Rapid Storage Technology Controller or offer a suggestion on how to get Windows to recognize the controller?
thank you

Most recent BIOS must be installed and BIOS must be set to UEFI, not Auto or Legacy. It took me days to get mine to boot using dual 1.5TB drives. See this post --> http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkServer-Towers/TS130-RAID-Problems-with-Windows-Server-2008-R2-but-N...

  • ShuttleXpress Multimedia Controller Driver Issue?

    I wanted to get a dedicated media controller to use as my volume/track/play/pause/mute control, and bought a ShuttleXpress Multimedia Controller for this purpose. Unfortunately, it doesn't work out of the box and I don't have much experience dealing with driver issues.
    When I plug it in via USB, I see that it gets recognized, but I don't think evdev knows what to do with it. Running xev does not show it generating any keycodes, nor does dropping to the console and running showkey.

    I've done some searching around, and found a few resources but am not 100% sure how to proceed. It looks like this PowerMate Driver might have some support, but I wasn't sure how I'd add it to my system. I've also read that it is supported elsewhere, like LinuxCNC, Kdenlive, and there's some work for it on Android for the Nook.
    Any advice on what my next steps should be?

    Awesome! I'll definitely take a look. I had pretty much given up on making the controller useful and worked around my setup in a different manner. Using it for audio control is exactly what I wanted, so I will absolutely revisit things. Thank you for posting this update!

  • Help Installing RAID Controller Driver

    Solaris Express 11 live CD cannot find drives('format' output says "no drives found")
    After booting up from Solaris Express 11 live CD,there is a message "Some device drivers cannot be found".

  • TS130-1105​1CU Raid Storage Console

    Anyone have any idea what Windows RAID Storage Console I can use to monitor within Windows 2008R2 Foundation? I have it all configured during bootup just fine, but would like to be able to monitor from with Windows. Especially helpful for Remote Administration...
    Thanx in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanx for getting back to me.
    Sorry, it is for the onboard Intel. I tried various versions of the RST (Rapid Storage Technology) and finally found this one here worked.
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS013896
    However it didn't add in the "Service" & consequently I would get an error that the console couldn't connect to the service which wasn't even listed in the installed services. So I had to manually add the service by typing in the following at an elevated command window;
    sc create "Intel RST DM Service" binpath= "c:\program files (x86)\intel\intel(r) rapid storage technology\iastordatamgrsvc.exe"
    Then I had to insure that the “Intel RST DM Service” was set to Startup Type “Automated (Delayed Start)”
    All is good now! I wanted to test it out on another system  & I tried the same thing on my own server that I had been procrastinating on doing for quite some time now (Intel M/board with same Xeon processor & Intel C200 chipset) but didn’t have to manually add the service, it did it itself.

  • Howto use onboard Promise Raid Controller pdc20265 on 694D PRO AR Ver1

    Currently I'm running Win2k on my MSI 694D Pro AR Ver 1.0 board with Bios version W6321VMS.310 and the included Fasttrack-Family Win2k Raid-Controller driver for my Promise Raid Controller pdc20265 with lite bios.
    Due to software updates I'm now absolutely required to switch to Windows XP Prof. However this is the cause for my inquiry:
    I downloaded and installed the latest available Bios version W6321VMS.370 from MSI site.
    On installation of XP I tried to include the pdc20265 Fasttrack raid driver from MSI site to get access to my HD's. However WinXP couldn't find any HD's. Remark: XP with SP1 and VIA 4in1443v.exe installed.
    So I repeated this procedure with the original drivers Fasttrack family and pdc202065 which were attached on floppy. Unfortunately no success as well.
    Then I have put the HD on the Ultra66 channel and installed XP first without raid and ultra 100 support.
    Later I re-enabled the on-board promise device in bios and unfortunately WinXP didn't recoginze the device by itself. So I provided the latest pdc20265 driver from MSI site. XP complained that the driver is not digitally signed. After reboot the promise device reported an error under WinXP.
    I repeated this procedure with the original drivers Fasttrack family and pdc202065 which were attached on floppy. Unfortunately no success as well.
    Why MSI-Site says this pdc20265 driver supports WinXP if there are only the Win2k and WinME,98... drivers included?
    Currently I can't use the promise device at all under WinXP. This means even I don't have an Ultra 100 controler available.
    Has anyone an idea how to install HD's on WinXP with the corresponding promise raid drivers for my pdc20265 onboard chipset?
    I'd really appreciate your help!

    Some of the suggestions I don't understand quite well. Please could you explain further:
    > remove the other two drives leaving the raid pair
    > and cd only
    >
    > put raid 2nd in boot order
    What do you mean with that?
    > reboot press the key you need to get in to raid bios
    > create the array and make it bootable
    array is already created (Note: there is important data on it, can't recreate it! Only Segate 80GB is free and empty)
    I don't want to boot from raid.
    >
    > now boot to cd to install,right at beginning it will say
    > press f6 to install mass storage drive you need the
    > driver on floppy to install it
    I already tried the XP-Install routine to specify additional mass storage drivers. (Note: 1 single 80GB Drive was attached)  Which are the suitable ones? As mentioned I tried the following:
    1. Attached floppy 'Fasttrack family drivers'
    Result: Message: Driver is for Win2k only. Not a single  Harddrive shows for installing XP.
    2. Attached Floppy (Promise Ultra 100 lite, 256 only)
    Result: Driver is for Win2k only. Installation procedure hangs.
    3. Driver from MSI-Site for pdc20265. Same as 2.
    4. Extracting via4in1 drivers and putting WinXPIDE drivers on floppy:
    Result: Installation routine doesn't recoginze drivers on floppy.

    > this should be similar as well

    Which is the right driver for WinXP to specify for mass storage device at WinXP installation?

  • Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller keeps loosing Logical Drive after power shutdown.

    Hi, I own two HP Microservers Gen8. I added SSD drive on the DVD SATA port in both. I created Raid 0 over the SSD Drive that I can boot from it, but everytime I shutdown the box (power outage), the logical drive is lost. Note that the logical drive is not lost on reboot. Only when the box is is shutdown. Any ideas why is this happening? Here are repro steps: Enter Smart Storage Administrator
    Select onDynamic Smart Array B220i RAID CtrollerClick on "Unassigned Drive" Screen shows me:SATA HDD:
    - 3TB Port1:Bay1
    - 3TB Port2:Bay2 SATA SSD
    - 120GB Port5:Bay5 I selected Sata SSD drive in Port5:Bay5I clicked on "Create Array"
    On a next screen I select the following:
    I selected RAID 0, 256 KiB Stripe Size, 32 Sectors, Maximum Size
    I click on "Create Logical Drive" On a next screen:
    A message: Logical Drive was successfully created.
    I click on Finish
    I exit the Smart Storage Manager and reboot the system. The server boots from the Raid0 Array (Sata SSD Drive in Port5:Bay5) -> No problem If I just reboot the server, it boots from the Raid0 Array. - No problemIf I shut down the server (or during Power outage), the Smart Array tells me that there is no logical array during the boot. The boot fails. -> Qualifies for a problem.
    Please can you explain why is the logical drive lost after power loss? Why the controller does not remember the setting? Other details:- Dynamic Smart Array B220i RAID Controller (v3.54.0)- When I boot to Smart Storage Administrator after power failure, I can recreate the Raid 0 over the SSD drive and boot again - this a work around the issue. Thank you for your advise.Jiri

  • Hard drive configuration with Promise Raid controller

    I plan on running two 30 gig 75GXP drives on the Promise controller in Raid-0 mode.  I also have a 60 gig WD drive that I use for backups and for initial installation.  During installation, I put the Win98SE setup files and all the drivers, apps, backup data, etc. on the WD drive and do a clean install from there.  
    My current (old) board is an Abit KT7-R with the Highpoint raid controller.  Using the Highpoint controller, I am able to put the WD drive as a slave device and the controller treats it as a normal IDE drive.  I'm moving to the 845 Ultra ARU.  From what I've read, if you put a single drive on the Promise controller, it tries to set it up as a Raid drive?  I don't want to risk losing my backup data on the WD drive to some attempt by the Promise controller to "raid" my single drive.  So, where is the best place to put my WD drive so that I can install my system from it?  I'm thinking about putting it as Master on IDE2.  I normally run my CD as Master on IDE1.  Once the installation is complete, I will remove the installation files from the WD drive and use it exclusively for backups.  I have the WD drive in a Vantec EZ-Swap rack, and I normally keep it powered off unless doing a backup.
    So, the plan is to create the Raid-0 array, Fdisk and format the array, and then load Windows from the WD drive, followed by all my applications.  Is Master on IDE-2 the best solution for the WD drive?  

    hi
    not very clued up on raid but it sounds right
    if the wd drive is on its own on that ide do not jumper
    as master you have to have no jumpers if all alone

  • G5 Xserve Harware RAID controller - do all drives have to be connected?

    Hi,
    I am installing a hardware RAID controller into a G5 Xserve. The machine has three drives in it - one 80 GB drive module that has just the operating system installed on it, and two 500 GB drive modules that are currently configured as a RAID 1 array via software. I am aware that I have to reformat the drives after installing the RAID controller, and I have taken appropriate steps for backing the data up. My question, however, is if I will have to attach all three drives to the RAID controller, or whether I can leave the 80 GB module separate (the preferred configuration). Thanks.

    Watch out for the firmware bug on the Apple Hardware RAID - doesn't always fully flush write caches on graceful power down (disconnects from the drives before the caches are fully flushed). I turned in a RADAR bug report in November 2005 (RADAR # 4350243), still open. It was a very difficult bug to pin down and create a reproducible test case - causes mystery garbage blocks from space, especially hard to get reproducible results because of the way RAID 5 works on reads. LSI Logic fixed this bug after Apple's code split from the LSI firmware code (the Apple Hardware RAID card is a rebranded LSI Logic megaraid card with Apple firmware), but it seems unlikely that Apple will ever fix this bug because the Xserve G5 and Apple Hardware RAID card are both EOL.
    Only known workaround of which I am aware is to disable write cache on all LUNs.

  • Hard drives do not detect after enabling hardware raid controller

    hello every one
    I have 2 hard drive and want to make them RAID 1.after enabling raid controller in bios,when I want to install windows server 2012,it says no hard drive detected.when I load driver of raid,it dont work.i used "list disk" and "diskpart"
    command in command prompt to show my online disk drive,but it does not show any hard drive.I think hard drive are in offline mode.how can I enable them?hard drive are sata 1T.
    atiye moghaddam

    Hi,
    As RAID is enabled on motherboard, the configuration should be finished in BIOS as well. So the RAID1 should be already configged before installing Windows system.
    When boot with an installation CD, you should have an option like "load driver for hard disk" or so. RAID will not be directly recognized so you should use that option to install a driver first.
    If it will not work, contact motherboard manufacturer for more support on this function. 
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

  • D10 Startup Issues - RAID controller Help!

    Hi, I have just received a D10 ThinkStation 6427-33U
    It has two 250GB HDD's connected in RAID 1. The system booted up fine the first few times, and on the 3rd reboot, I get the error shown below.

    If I press F1 , I get weird dots and it hangs
    If i press F2, blinking cursor on top left

    if this is a new system and you don't care about rebuilding it, pull one of the drives and see if it still gives you an error.   if it does then leave the second drive out, disable RAID, and try booting.   if this works then replace the second drive, destroy the array, and rebuild it from scratch.   it could be that the array data is corrupted.
    if this doesn't work then call lenovo service as there may be something else going on here.   i personally don't use the intel RAID controller and prefer to use the LSI controller whenever possible.
    in fact, you may consider using the LSI contoller for your SATA disks.   it's a unified SAS/SATA controller and can handle SATA drives just fine.   performance may be slightly slower but it's closer to a hardware RAID solution than the intel controller.

    Is it exists somewhere?
    Please, help me!!!

    Unfortunately, the XP 64bit drivers are very rare and on the Toshiba driver page you will not find any.
    Possibly because Toshiba does not deliverer any notebooks with OS XP 64bit.

  • Cache drive & Raid Controller?

    HI all,
    Ok so it's time for me to buy my media drives for my 6TB project.
    I am going with (3) 4TB 7200 rpm seagate drives (Raid0)
    Hopefully that will give me enough data rate to edit it realtime (c300-MXF files),  intel 6 core, 16 gig ram, 760 gtx 2g mem
    I have 2 final questions:
    1. After testing my current drive performance, I noticed that while playing/scrubbing my timeline (premiere cc) I noticed that my cache drive had 0-1 % activity  and  my Media drive was at 100%
    So just how important is the cache drive for "performace"???
    2. Can I use my onboard Bios Raid controller for my (3) raid0?
    Or should I buy a controller?
    if yes, Why?
    If yes, can someone reccomend a "reasonable" priced controller?
    Thanks So Much,
    Lou

    Lou
    The answer to #2  depends on your motherboard .  What is it?
    Your RAID 0 configuration has no parity so it requires very regular backups maybe even several times a day after each editing session.  I call it the "poor man's choice" as I also use it.  It just so happens that my good friend Harm just alerted me to this new Western Digital (the Hitachi acquistion) for a new 6 GB drive the Ultrastar He6 which might be perfect for your backups.  Interesting it is filled with Helium.

    Message was edited by: Bill Gehrke
    I just now remember you picked the GA-Z68XP-UD4 after my suggestion, yes you can put three drives in RAID 0 by using the (4) Intel SATA 3GB/s ports. It might limit the maximum performance slightly as opposed to using the same devices on three 6GB/s ports but I do not think the limitation will be serious.

  • Z77A-GD80 Driver issue unknown SM Bus Controller missing

    I have a Z77A-GD80 running with Windows XP SP3 all drivers from the CD have been installed I have even used Live Update 5 application I can not find out what this missing
    SM Bus Controller driver is. There is nothing found on Windows Update, even searching manually on the CD and automatically. I have no idea what to do. My question what is this driver
    and how do I get it? Is it related to Thunderbolt? If so is there a driver for it?

    You don't 'unistall' anything. The Intel chipset driver automatically does it for you when it replaces it with the new driver.
    Use the drop down and select the correct OS being used;

    If all this doesn't work, go to Intel and search for the SM Bus patch.

  • On-board RAID and PCI RAID controller

    Hello everybody,
    I am new to the forum. So, please excuse me if that topic was already covered...
    I have MSI MAX2-LR (MS-6398E) board. It works just fine, no problem so far. Though I have 2 problems with add-on cards:
    1.  I was planning to use on-board RAID and additional PCI RAID controller = FastTrack 100 TX2 to cover 6 hard drives into 2 mirrored sets: 4drives one and 2 drives the other.
    It doesn't work! I can use either on-board RAID or PCI RAID. As soon as I have any drive connected to on-board RAID, the PCI RAID disappeares. If I have no drives connected to on-board RAID, I can see both RAID controllers, they have different I/O and IRQs, and PCI RAID is working just fine. If only I connect one drive to the on-board RAID, it gets activated on startup, and the other one disappeares. :O
    I believe it's a BIOS bug. I wander, if that can be fixed easily????? :D
    2. I have a new Matrox Video card = Parhelia. It doesn't work in AGP slot! System doesn't recognize it, and beeps non-stop. I am dealing with Matrox Tech Support on that matter.  ?(
    Maybe, it's a known issue, and somebody can save me time by telling what's that about.
    Appreciate any imput. Have a great weekend.!!! :]

    Hey I also have the same Raid card and also the Matrox Parhelia, and I see that you also have some problems with the card I got also problems with the card, but they couldnt help me at theire forums (http://forum.matrox.com/mgaforum/Forum10/HTML/005085.html), I hope we have got more luck here  :D
