I hope someone can help. Got 1T on the line and although it is not irreplaceable, would hate to have to reload. I have a raid 5 that has 5 "optimal" drives and all appear to be working (no symbols on the drive). But the Logical device has a big red dot with a black x that says "failed". The...

Hi, sorry for bad english.. I've got a Tyan Thunder S2885 and an Adaptec 2810SA, configured as follows: - 5 Maxtor 300gb hard disks on adaptec card - 1 Maxtor 160gb hard disk attached to the motherboard - 3 RAID5 volumes (partitions) on adaptec card - 1 partition 1TB - 1...

Am I right in assuming this TOE card ( Adaptec iSCSI ASA-7211C/ASA-7211F ) is infact only an offload engine, and not a complete iSCSI Target in hardware? /charles

I'm trying to setup the Adaptec Snap 4500 for the first time. Since we don't have DHCP on the network it defaults to IP 10.10.10.10 and subnet 0.0.0.0. The management software recognizes the name of the server and show it is online, but has the IP configuration greyed-out in the context menu...

Hi, since a few days I have some problems with a RAID 10 array on a adaptec RAID 2405 card. I've been using this setup for about 10 months without any problems, but 4 days ago when I turned on my computer I go a message saying that my RAID array was degraded. In windows using adaptec storage...

What is the maximum drive size that can be used? I want to use 8X400GB SATA. Will I get 2.8TB effective on RAID5?

Hi, Using EMC Navisphere, when you add or create a new host, Navisphere asks for a 16-byte piece of information. I have the impression that this is suppose to be the 8-byte WWNN concatenated with the 8-byte WWPN for the HBA port on the host, something...

how is disk added in Celerra? what is the impact? i assume that celerra does not need to be brought down for this. Thanks

I am sure this is stupid question. I have an existing Clarrion CX500 SAN. I would like to add iSCSI capabilities to the storage network. What do I need? I know it's a gateway of some sort but I can't find any part numbers or even what a device would be called. Thanks, V

I finally bought myself another HD tonight, as the 80gig one I have not is not nearly enough. I was just wondering if I should transfer Windows over to my newer, faster, and much bigger hard drive, or leave it isolated on my old one? My new hard drive is definately superior, as it has 16mb cache as...

Hi Guys, I found the links for the books on one of the forum, and found it worth to be...

I have been looking everywhere for reasonably cheap (cost wise) esata/ usb, 4bay, RAID 1 storage solutions and while there are some undisputedly top notch options out there they seem to start at $500 on up and none seem to support 2tb internal drives. I happened upon one post in the...

Just need some verification on two question and possible solutions if you have any. 1) Does the Scalar 10K support hardware cleaning for the tape drives? If so were is this configured? 2) Does the Scalar 10K support mixed operation systems sharing a single tape device in an SSO environment? If...

Hi, Does anyone know if it is possible to convert a DLT based Adic scalar 100 tape library to SDLT or LTO? At least with SDLT the magazines should be the same since tapes have same form factor, so theoreticaly it could be possible to reflash firmware + replace drive module...? Kind Regards

We are facing a serious problem with our Scalar 100. Since more than one year we use home-made barcode labels: they worked perfectly until one week ago. Then few days ago we had to add 10 new tapes to the library... and half of them were not even detected by the library: the slots looked empty. We...

We just bought a new ADIC Scalar 100 with 2 IBM LTO-2 drives. This new library replaces our old Scalar 100 with 2 IBM LTO-1 drives which we will be offloading to an sister company. Not getting anywhere close to the speed of the old library with the new unit. For instance: old library: 400+GB @...

Hi all! We have the following problem with our scalar 100. We recently installed a new backup server with windows 2000, and Backup Exec 9 But we can't get it to work. After we installed everything we get the following error in Backup Exec

Hi everyone, Ive recently bought (second hand) an ADIC Scalar 218m (single DLT7000). Unfortunately it has 2 problems with it that are proving to be a real pain. First of all when turning it on sometimes it wont initialise properly (the first part where the code is downloaded to the motion CPU goes...

hello, Did anyone tried to to use fc disks comming from a HDS 9960 on an open world PC ? My pb is that these are seen from the hbas, I can low format them, they are seen at the os level (Win2K and Linux) but cannot be partionned. Their cluster size is 512 so I thinks it may be a firmware issue. TIA
