HP ProLiant ML350 Gen9 Raid issue.

4 HP EG0600FCVBK 600GB 10K RPM SAS HDDs.

SPECS:
Windwos 2012 R2 Server

Issue:
Was hot swapping some drives to determine if bay was issue or one of the SSD's was the issue. Something glitched and there was an HP based BlueScreen that said something about there was a problem and we need to restart, but we are collecting some data first. After reboot the server cannot find bootable device.

The hard drives are detected in the raid. The following screens show the issues when in the HP RAID Controller screens after choosing F11 Boot settings:


This last screen is my main question. If I cleick REPAIR. Accept data loss and re-enable logical drives(s) how much data are we talking about losing? Everything or just the last sync fo the RAID drives.

If this option will lose everything then is there a way this raid array/logical drive can be repaired without loss of the boot OS?

Thanks,

Have a SBS2011Server scheduled to be decommissioned by the end of the year. In the meantime looking to free up space on the partition that data is housed on. Current partitions are C:\ operating system; D:\ data and exchange database; and E:\ pagefile.

Because of other factors it makes sense to move the exchange database to the E:\ drive which will free up plenty of space on the D:\ drive where data is located.

Any concerns running the page file on the same partition as the exchange database?

How do we disconnect a drive shelf from our Netapp FAS2040 without downtime?
The lease is up so I'm returning the shelf only
NetApp Release 8.1.4 7-Mode
DS2246 shelf connected to a NetApp FAS2040
All disks are sanitized spares
Have read that hot swap is available in release 8.2 but we don’t have SNS

Hi. I have a question regarding a predictive failure on a RAID 1 drive on a Dell Poweredge T620. The specifics are that the T620 hosts 2 server VMs, and has a RAID 1 and RAID 5 array, A drive in RAID 1 indicated a predictive failure, and I'm wondering the viability of adding a new drive (NOT the same model as this server is out of warranty), that is a 600GB drive replacing this failing 300GB drive. Is it possible to plug in the new drive, initilize it via the BIOS, then set it up as a hot spare so that the array rebuilds itself using the new drive? If this is possible, do I have to manually use Dell Openmanage to tell the old drive to turn off (it seems to have options for that), or will it automatically rebuild the array upon detecting the failing drive? Thanks.

The main concern is if using a different drive is possible. Is using a larger one okay? I want to hopefully minimize downtime.

I want to connect an older sata drive which is 5 3/4 inches long to a new computer via usb. Do I just need a sata to usb connector or do i also need some sort of power supply for the drive

I want to buy: a 4bay qnap server, but wish to confirm, How can I configure the device as a SCSi storage attached to a Windows Server.

Will this process work for it: https://www.qnap.com/tr-tr/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-create-and-use-the-iscsi-target-service-on-a-qnap-turbo-nas   ?

Are the power supply to SATA hard drive power cables the same for both the Corsair AX1200i and Thermaltake TGB1200W power supplies?

Is it safe to interchange these power supply cables between the two power supplies?

Please provide me with some URLs where I can purchase Corsair AX1200i hard drive power cables that connect to the power supply and then plug into SATA hard drives.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have an external 3 TB OWC Mercury Elite – AL Pro Hard drive.  That is no longer working properly.  I am trying to recover my data.  Windows file Explorer shows the drive but when I click on it, it looks like it is going to load the contents but is no longer able to.  I then get an error message that reads “G:\  is not accessible.  The parameter is incorrect.”  It has also asked me if I would like to format the hard drive which I always say “no.”  

I ran from the command prompt - chkdsk g: /f /r and it was not able to fix the issue.

I have now tried to use Stellar Phoenix Disk Recovery and the software recognizes the drive.  It shows that the drive has data stored but I cannot see the contents.  I initiate the scan it requires and everything seems to be working normal.  Then after 15 or 20 minutes.  Windows file explorer intervenes and I get a message that says, “USB device not recognized.  The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognized it.”  The scan then messes up and I hear the chime that the drive would make when you are plugging it or unplugging it from the computer.  This chime and message will keep reappearing about every minute or so afterwards.

I have tried connecting hard drive to another computer and all the same things happen.

Things to know:

I am using windows 10 pro on my desktop computer (which is where I always kept external hard drive connected) and windows …

Hi everyone,

I have a Dell  Inspiron 7548 laptop using Windows 10. Every since I purchased it, it has been slow to boot up and this has gotten worse over the last year of having it. It has 12GB of ram, i7 chip so I am not sure why it is so slow to boot up and slow when I restore it when I open it up after sleep. Any help on how to bring it up to speed would be greatly appreciated. I have already defragmented the hard drive and used Malwarebytes to check for spyware.

Thank you,

Derek

Many hosting packages offer either HDD or an SSD hard drive options. Which one is the best when it comes to performance as well as budget?

Hi,

I use backup exec 16 to backup my local network.

I have a site-to-site VPN to MS Azure

in Azure I have a VM running the Veritas Backup Exec CAS Server

in local network I have a VM running the Veritas Backup Exec MMS Server

both the CAS and MMS have a local deduplication disk attached to them.

the MMS runs all backup jobs

each backup job runs to the Dedup disk on the MMS (local network) then DUPLICATES to the Dedup disk on the CAS (off site network in Azure).

what I did not understand until now was the performance issues this set up would cause.

the MMS uses the SQL Database on the CAS as its management database.

all queries it makes therefore go over the WAN

after days if not weeks of calls to Veritas off-shore support (which Is painful beyond words) confirmed this is by design.

this article describes the issue: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100034399

a potential solution I have thought of is it replicate the SQL database of the CAS to a SQL database in my local network - and for my MMS to connect to this local database.

I am sure this will not be a supported solution

has anyone had any similar experience?

many thanks
