I am looking for a GUI that will tell me what is going on with the volume. This stated that it would install drivers as well as the software component. I installed it on a test box and it prompted for a reboot, which I was unsure of whether it wanted a reboot because of a driver update.
This is a server for a small business and I can't take any chance that it will not boot back up because of a bunged driver. I need to get some visibility into what is happening with this volume. Any ideas the best route to go? I tried that utility and it won't read the raid information off the newer driver.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. I've been doing some searching around and haven't been able to find anything to do this. Why does this have to be so difficult?!?? I knew the CLI tools were fussy on version, but I didn't know they were that fussy. If you find the same package version If you find the package Sorry for the slow response on this. I installed the GUI version Getting down time with this server is difficult.
The RAID controller driver that is installed is The RST notification center icon shows that the service is not running. I can manually start the service, but when starting the GUI, I get "an unknown error occurred while running this application". Table 5. Table 6. This technology secures data on a disk drive from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives.
Instant secure erase permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning SEDs. SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of SEDs by using a simple pass phrase, security key identifier, and security key file that can be set and applied to all SEDs that are assigned to a RAID adapter. This feature boosts the performance of applications with a highly random data storage access pattern, such as transactional databases.
CacheCade software tracks data storage access patterns and identifies the most frequently accessed data. The hot data is then automatically stored on the solid-state storage devices that are assigned as a dedicated cache pool on a RAID controller. Consistency check Consistency check verifies that all stripes in a virtual drive with a redundant RAID level are consistent. Consistency checks can be scheduled to take place periodically.
Patrol read Patrol read is a background sentry service that pro-actively discovers and corrects media defects bad sectors that arise normally as a disk drive ages. The service issues a series of verify commands, and if a bad block is discovered, the card's firmware uses RAID algorithms to re-create the missing data and remap the sector to a good sector.
The task is interruptible based on controller activity and host operations. The firmware also provides an interface where the patrol read task can be initiated, set up for continuous operation, and terminated from a management application. Patrol read can be activated by a manual command or automatically. System availability and application functionality remain unaffected. Hot Spare A hot spare rebuilds data from all virtual drives within the drive group in which it is configured to replace a failed drive.
Hot spares can be configured as either global or dedicated. A global hot spare allows any physical drive to be designated as a hot spare. A dedicated hot spare allows the user to assign a hot spare drive to a particular array of the same drive type. Auto-rebuild Auto-rebuild allows a failed drive to be replaced and the data automatically rebuilt by using the new drive in the same drive bay. The RAID drive group continues to handle requests while the rebuild occurs. Table 8. Table 9.
