When to replace drives, and when does the hot-spare kick in?

Here's the situation: got an e-mail today from the RAID (no it wasn't a love letter), which alerted me to a ten-times repeated ERROR: 0x10, STATUS: 0x51 on drive 8
I then proceded to check through the log, and found from a while back (mysteriously I never received an e-mail even though it said it had sent one!) ERROR: 0x40, STATUS: 0x51
which were however only single/double incidents, not repeated 10 times like this latest error.
Despite these errors, the drives show up as "OK" in RAID Admin, and the hot spare drives seem not to have been activated.
The question is now, should I get these drives replaced ASAP, or if the RAID lists the drives as OK is everything fine and dandy? (not sure how to take a "non-recoverable error 0x40" and reconcile that with a drive status of OK)

Nobody's got any answers? Bummer! The Apple manual says really nothing useful about how to aAsSsSeEsSsS error messages and when to replace drives, etc.
It's nice to sell to people that a RAID-5 will keep the data safe, but that only works if one knows what to make of the error messages.
I shouldn't have to spend another $1k for a tech support contract, just to learn what things mean that should be explained in the tech docs...
Ronald
PS: will someone tell Apple's PC watchdog that aAsSsSeEsSsS has nothing to do with aAsSsS? AaSsSsEeSsSsMmEeNnTt is a technical term, yet it wouldn't want to let me post the message because it contained aAsSsSeEsSsS! What's next? Soon we can't use the word RAID anymore, because it's refers to undesirable violence...
Someone please pick up a dictionary, in Tiger there's both a regular app and a widget to do so, so it shouldn't be that hard...

  • I just bought more storage and it is still showing i don't have enough storage? When does the storage plan kick in?

    I just bought more storage and it is still showing I don't have enough storage. When does it actually kick in? I need to download an app and it's saying I don't have enough space??? thanks for the help

    What sort of "storage" did you buy? If you are referring to iCloud storage, that does not change the amount of storage on your iPhone. You will have to delete things from your iPhone to be able to add more apps. If you want to have music in the cloud rather than on your iPhone, you need to subscribe to iTunes Match, after which you will be able to stream music rather than keeping it on your iPhone, though of course you'll need an internet connection to do so and can burn through your cell service data allowance rather quickly if you play a lot of music and don't have WiFi available.

    Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
    I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
    I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
    I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
    When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
    Heading Import Results
    Some import operations were not performed
    Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
    then a description of the image with file name
    Box Save As                                  Box  OK
    If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
    To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
    Thanks if you can can help out.

    Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

  • When i 'upgraded' to Mavericks, it locked me out and shut down my computer.  now it won't print from my Epson Stylus CX3810.  Epson doesn't have the driver to download and neither does the App store.  Suggestions?

    I'm having similar problems with my Epson Stylus DX5000.  There was no in-built driver available (the generic old and new Stylus drivers didn't work), so downloaded the latest driver from Epson site.  It shows as being available to print to, but just sends data to the print queue then job disappears.
    I hope you're right C F McBlob, I could do with printing today but if there are new drivers available from November 5, then so be it.

    When I'm travelling I import photos onto my laptop's external hard drive and work on the images using virtual copies to develop them. When I get home, I want to import all the photos together with the developed virtual copies fromt the laptop's external HD into LR5 on my PC desktop. But if I use the import button in LR I only get the original photo, not the developed copies. What am I doing wrong?

    Since your current editing workflow is based around Virtual Copies there are no actual files containing the edit data. Therefore, you'll need to use the 'Import from another catalog' option ( see File menu).

  • HT4927 I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing

    I have just downloaded iPhoto from the app store. The photo library from my old laptop was backed up on an external hard drive and I retrieved the photos from there.  Now when I open the photos on my new Mac Book Pro, they are small - am I missing something?
    I am using 10.8.2 Mountain Lion btw

    I dragged the Photo library icon from the backup drive on to iPhoto on the laptop
    That means you imported one Library to another.
    Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
    So the reason you're seeing small photos is because you're seeing the iPhoto thumbnails from the back up library.
    So, what to do?
    Do you still have the back up? If so, trash this bunged up library and restore from the back up again. HOw to restore will depend entirely on how you made the back up, but no version of restoring includes importing the library.

  • When and how does the message context get removed from the message when we use pass thru send port

    Friends,
    i have a doubt regarding message context.
    Assume i have used XMLRecieve pipeline in the receive side to receive the message so that the message context is created. I.e properties are promoted/written.
    now if we use pass thru transmit pipe line at send side, how and when does the message context get removed from the message?? Since pass thru does not have any stages/components, how does the message context removed and sent out a pure message to destination???
     i mean what exactly happens here to remove the context??
    Ravindar

    Thanks for the reply.
    "The Context is created by the Adapter, regardless of any Pipeline or Pipeline Component.  It has nothing to do with PassThrough vs. XmlReceive, although XmlReceive will write Promoted Properties to the existing Context,
    as can any other Component."
    yeah yeah, adapter does create some properties in context. You are right, i am aware of it. I just missed to explain it clearly. what i meant is addition of context properties will not happen if pass thru used. Thanks its clear.
    "No.  The Context already exists on the Message when it comes from the MessageBox and
    is equally available to any Component in any Stage.  The Context that hits the Pipeline is whatever was last Persisted, either by a Receive Port or Orchestration.  It is not created by the XmlAssembler (XmlTransmit)"
    You are right , the context already exists on the message while it leaves the receive port, and once it persists
    to message box the context and message context gets stored in messages in relative tables.
    Now as you said the components get the message from the last persistence, assume i have a send port(with passthru)
    subscriber and a orchestration subsrciber for this message.
    Orchestration gets the message with context right!!
    if the send sendport(with passthru) also gets message along with context, then where is this context removed/demoted
    while sending it out?.  i guess as per SAAkhlaq said,
    here sendport(with passthru) should get a pure message without context as passthru used. 
    or is it that ultimately send adapter removes the context completely?
    or is it something like biztalk run time load the context from database into cache and both orchestration and send port gets pure message, and if needed they use context from cache???
    sorry i may be troubling you, but i am confused. i hope i am not creating any nuisance with this
    post.

  • How and When Does the attribute VI_ATTR_VXI_TRIG_STATUS get initialized

    How and When  Does the attribute VI_ATTR_VXI_TRIG_STATUS get initialized. Do the actual trigger lines get measured or does the attribute get initialized to a default value when the vxi resource manager is executed?

    Hey whl6868,
    According to page 157 (or 3-135) of the manual (http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/370132c.pdf), there is no default value for VI_ATTR_VXI_TRIG_STATUS.  If Resman is returning valid values for it, then it must be actually reading the lines.  Else, I would only expect it to return valid values when you actually call the function yourself.

    Make sure that both the web browser you're using and its Flash plug-in are up to date. Google Chrome has its own Flash plug-in it updates on its own. Firefox, IE and other have separate plug-ins.

  • When does the JVM exit and deleteOnExit();?

    I developed a JSP that queries a database, displays the results in a browser, and writes the results to the server as a file. While the user is viewing the JSP, they can click on a download link to save the file that was written to the server. Everything works fine!
    I would like to delete the file that was written to the server (to save space), however, I can't delete the file until the user is finished viewing the JSP. I need some help concerning this method: java.io.File.deleteOnExit() the API states:
    "Requests that the file or directory denoted by this abstract pathname be deleted when the virtual machine terminates. Deletion will be attempted only for normal termination of the virtual machine, as defined by the Java Language Specification (12.9)."
    If I use this method, When does the JVM exit? I tested it in my home environment using Tomcat and the file was deleted when I stopped Tomcat. If I run this on a web server, does the JVM ever exit? If so when?
    Thanks
    --Scott

    The JVM stays active so long as the Java based webserver (or the servlet engine if your webserver is connected to one) is up. Only when you shutdown your server will the VM terminate. (Similar to what you observed with tomcat)
