Hi there.

My brother got an issue with a Seagate Central network disk. The network part doesn't work anymore, and he wants to rescue the data and copy to a usb-disk/computer drive etc...
The challenge is that Seagate utilizes a file format related to Ubuntu/Linux. He tried to pull out the hard disk from the storage unit and hook up to a Windows computer via USB. That didn't work that well, because the 3TB drive apparently is formatted in like 500GB partitions with a Ubuntu/Linux format. That is not recognized by Windows.
So the task is how to move/copy data to a "normal" disk that will work with Windows.
I found a Gparted software that is supposed to do the trick, but we're a bit insecure about what to do and if this is the right procedure.
Did any of you out there try a similar task? We would prefer if it's possible to do the whole thing with a Windows based software.
Looking forward to your suggestions.  :-)

Best regards

Ulrich

Hi,

I need to know the difference between
-  HPE 128GB (1x128GB) Octal Rank x4 DDR4-2933 CAS-24-21-21 Load Reduced 3DS Smart Memory Kit
And
- HPE 128GB (1x128GB) Octal Rank x4 DDR4-2666 CAS-22-19-19 3DS Load Reduced Memory Kit

I mean which one has better performance

Thanks

Hi

I need your help to put together Powershell script to

Script 1 - BAK extension file Audit

1. Script needs to be able to use input server file (server bulk)
2. Scan servers drives (E:\, F:\, G:\ or I:\) or be able to select drives
3. Look for  “*.bak” extension files.
4. Generate CSV output files with
       a. server name
       b. Bak file name and path
       c. File Size
       d. Dates temp of the file.
       3. hash
5. Email report to specific email address

I have a Audit script but it doesn't work correctly. It scans all drives, doesn't provide date of BAK file creation. It doesn't sent email with report

$ExtensionList = @('.bak')
Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem |
    ForEach-Object  {
        Get-ChildItem -Path $_.Root -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
            Where-Object { $ExtensionList -eq $_.Extension } |
            ## ForEach-Object { $_.Name, $_.FullName, $_.GetHashCode() }
            Select-Object @{Name="Name";Expression={$_.Name}}, @{Name="Hash";Expression={$_.GetHashCode()}}, @{Name="FullName";Expression={$_.FullName}} |
            Export-Csv -Path C:\Temp\BAKAudit\BAKAuditReport.csv -NoTypeInformation -Append

I don't have BAK deletion script, which should do as follows

Script 2 - BAK Deletion
1. Use generated output file (from script 1) and remove"Bak" file older then 3 days.
2. Once the deletion is completed another report should be created showing what bak files from which server and from …

MD3200 with most recent firmware being used in a two node Hyper-V cluster.  The cluster is Windows Server 2019 Datacenter.

Here are my host mappings:


I need host HYPERV01 in the Default Group since, as you can see from the picture, all the virtual disks and so forth are mapped to the default group.  I cannot at this time move storage from one hyper v node to the other.  When right-clicking on Host HYPERV01 the move option is greyed out.  Host HYPERV01 has only Virtual Disk Access mapped to it.  I believe Access gets mapped to everything.

Question:  How can I move Host HYPERV01 back into the Default Group?  
End Goal:  I need both hosts HYPERV01 and HYPERV02 able to access all storage.

I have a P5 IBM Server running AIX 5.3.  The machine crashed and the rootvg is no longer accessible.  There was a 2nd hard drive on the system with data that I would like to move to another P5 AIX 5.3 system but not sure how to do this.  I physically moved the drive to the other system and it shows up with lsdev -Cc disk but not with lspv command.  How can I make this disk accessible to this new system
so I can retrieve the data?

We are considering hosting our own cloud backup location for a handful of servers that are hosted by commercial companies.

Looking at 150 GB of data backup per month and a monthly OS disk image of three or four servers approximately 200 GB total.  Most of it is archival and the image files would be rotated possibly maintaining 2 images per remote server at a time.  Currently using AWS with SyncBack.  Unfortunately started with Jungle Disk because at the time SyncBack did not interface directly with AWS.  This has led to enormous expense in retrieving things from Glacier and dealing with Jungle Disks changing file names/data to proprietary scheme so you can't see actual file names in Glacier.  And JD does not have Glacier retrieval function.  The server hosting companies charge almost as much for regular image backups as for the monthly server fee and I have heard that their backups are not totally reliable.

In spite of that very costly situation and the recent cost time and money required for us to retrieve a 5 TB archive, AWS charges too much and they have a ridiculous amount of tiers of charges and fees that it is nearly impossible to know what charges are coming on a monthly basis.

Looked at Azure and it looks slick but it isn't free or inexpensive even with our moderate amount of usage.  So we are considering hosting our own cloud backup.

We have extra servers so no hardware expense except a few large drives.  We would figure out some secure VPN / FTP into the…

Can a Lenovo Centre M 5032 AF8 desktop PC support a nvme to pcie adapter card with an nvme m.2 ssd ?

I would like to install an nvme to pcie apdapter into this desktop, and then install nmve M.2 SSD in the adapter.
The nvme ssd would be used only for database storage.
I am not interested in booting up from this device.
I have upgraded the bios in this desktop to the latest bios version.
Before I buy an nvme m.2 SSD, I would like to know if this desktop will be able to support an nvme m.2 ssd.
The desktop has a 64 bit version of Windows 7 installed on it at this time.
All thoughts appreciated.    Thanks, Jim

I can't get one of my servers to power up. I don't believe it's a hard drive issue, more importantly for the sake of this question, I don't believe it's a hard drive issue. How do I recover data from the RAID?

Will Centos 6.5 running the 2.6.32-431 64 bit Kernel support an m.2 nvme ssd plugged into an NVMe to PCIe adapter in an HP DL585 G7 server ?

Hi I have to replace some SAS drives in a Power Edge, they are all in hot swapable carages.  The SAS connection is like the crummy pix I took, it has a single cable connection.  When I go on Amazon to get a SAS drive, the pix all show they have the SATA connections.  I don't know if they are mis labeling their parts, or just use the same pix as the normal drive.

Also, I thought that SAS drives were either 10k or 15K RPM, these are showing up as 7200 RPM.  

Thanks all.
