Hi all, I changed a bad disk (automaticly disabled from software raid1 and system for I/O error) in one of our servers and now have problem with adding new one to system without reboot. Does anybody have an experience with this? Or is it possible? :) We're using hotswap AXX6DRV3G for 6 SATA disks from Intel connected directly to MB (S5520HC from Intel too). There is AHCI as driver (enabled in bios), no HW raid. I found, something like that echo "0 0 0" >/sys/class/scsi_host/host<n>/scan but it found only sda disk which is already running.. Usi...

...gging why echo cancellation does not work in my app using the DUMP_ECHO_CANCEL_DATA flag. What format does the data I receive have, looks like 16bit integers just dumped but when plotting it in MATLAB I do not get a raw audio data signal I expected.

I am trying to test a new setup of NV74. I have set up the system with ZFS boot. Everything works fine until I pull a drive. The system locks up when I try to run any command e.g. zpool status. There is no communication with the server from then on. It does not even respond to pings. Setup - Supermicro SC836TQ-R800 Chassis Supermicro X7DB8 Motherboard Supermicro SAT2-MV8 SATA controller

They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for hot-swap -- at least at the PCI[-X] level, if...

I have 3 disks that I want to setup in a raid 1, my questions is should I setup the 3rd disk as a spare-disk or should I mirror all 3 disks all the time? Will it perform *much* better to only mirror two and have the 3rd as a spare. Is it not safer to mirror all 3 drives all the time ?

I need a SATA RAID PCI card that works well with CentOS and is fully supported. Mandatory features: - works with the drivers already in the kernel, no additional drivers - can do RAID 0, 1 and 5 - hotswap - allows to monitor the status of the array and of each individual drive via a script (ideally run from cron) - works with very large SATA drives Nice to have features but not mandatory: - small battery to keep the array alive until the write buffers are flushed after a power loss Anyone having...

Hi, I have been trying to install CentOS 5.4 on a Intel SR1530SHS, Intel S3200SH mainboard.. It has a 3 x 1TB sata hotswap drives with LSI software raid onboard. I had configured the LSI to have Sata0 and Sata1 with raid 1 and the third drive as a hotspare drive. Format the harddisk and installation was a breeze. The server rebooted into a blank screen and the cursor just keep blinking. Please advise. Thanks wL

We're going to replace an older Solaris7/Netbackup/TapeRobot server with a new Centos box using backup-to-disk-to-tape (probably using Arkeia). The specs are up in the air, but generally: - CentOS/RHEL friendly (3Ware SATA? SCSI?) - 2U/3U/4U-ish form factor - hotswap RAID5 - dual PS, hotswap a plus - USB2.0 port(s) (*) To give you an idea of where I'm starting to look, take a gander at this page: http://www.serversdirect.com/system_dept.asp?dept_id=SD-043 Obviously we'd like to keep the price low, but realize that a major cost will be the 400GB drive...

...failed - this makes sense since the RAID is hardware, so i presume i need some management software however i cant find anything on HP or Compaq's sites to tell me what software i need to be running. I imaging it is something like cpq_alert or such. | Does anyone on the list run HP or Compaq hotswapable kit? How do you get alerted to failures? Thanks, MrKiwi

...attach them again, but I have to format the disk such that the slicing exists. Is there some clever way to automatically re-label a replacement disk? c) si 3224 related question: is it possible to simply hot swap the disk (i have the disks in special hot-swappable units, but have no experience in hotswapping under solaris, such that i want to have some echo). d) do you have best practices for systems like that above? what are the best resources on the web for learning about monitoring the health of the zfs system (like email notifications in case of disk failures...) thannks in advance -- Jakob

...my motherboard with something that will work with hot-swap in Solaris. (did I mention before I''m still pissed about this?) I have enough to populate all 8 bays (meaning adding 4 disks to what I have now), so the 6 ports on the motherboard don''t quite cover it anyway, and getting hotswap working was kind of the point of spending $2000 on the new server. But, as always, the problem is in finding a controller that Solaris supports, including hotswap. The last guy I remember going through this here ended up still scrod because the board he got had a -7 instead of -9 variant of the c...

...rs, each with a Supermicro SMC2108 (LSI MegaRAID) controllers and 3 PX-128M5Pro SSDs ( RAID1 + hostswap). 2 weeks (and almost no activity on it, since not in production, apart from installation) later, megacli sees (based on the slot numbers): - on one server: only the 2nd disk of the RAID + the ex-hotswap brought online. NO sign of the first disk, no error message, it just "disapeared"... - on another server: apparently lost 1 of the 2 RAID1 disks and then the second disk of the RAID1...? Now I can only see the spare brought online, so lonely... Is it "normal" for megacli to &quo...

I have a raidz2 pool with one disk that seems to be going bad, several errors are noted in iostat. I have an RMA for the drive, however - no I am wondering how I proceed. I need to send the drive in and then they will send me one back. If I had the drive on hand, I could do a zpool replace. Do I do a zpool offline? zpool detach? Once I get the drive back and put it in the same drive bay..

Hi list, I'm having one of those 'I'm stupid' -problems with LVM on CentOS 5.2. I've been working with traditional partitions until now, but I've finally been sold on the theoretical benefits of using LVM, but for now I only have a huge pile of broken filesystems to show for my efforts. My scenario; I attach a disk, either over USB or iSCSI. I create a PV on this

Hello All, I want to build a home file and media server now. After experiment with a Asus Board and running in unsolve problems I have bought this Supermicro Board X8SIA-F with Intel i3-560 and 8 GB Ram http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3400/X8SIA.cfm?IPMI=Y also the LSI HBA SAS 9211-8i

Anyone know of a 2.5" to 3.5" converter so I can put a 2.5 SSD drive in a Supermicro 3.5 SATA hot swap bay? The one I purchased does not seem to work.

Arch = x86_64 CentOS-6.4 We have a cold server with 32Gb RAM and 8 x 3TB SATA drives mounted in hotswap cells. The intended purpose of this system is as an ERP application and DBMS host. The ERP application will likely eventually have web access but at the moment only dedicated client applications can connect to it. I am researching how to best set this system up for use as a production host emplo...

How does everyone feel about using Quantum LTO 3 and 4 tapes with Bacula for backing up both the VM's, Host, as well as from within the VM's. What are know good backup solutions? Can anyone name specific tape drives / software that is working. Lee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
