Got a RAID question. My PC has 2 identical 500gb HDs. My BIOS setup does not show anything related to RAID, I've checked every entry, every option, yet the 9.10 installer "sees" RAID.
So, is my hardware physically set up as RAID? How can I check? I'd like to have it as 2 separate drives, and screw RAID. What do I do?
I am working on decommissioning an old server for a client. The server is an older Dell PowerEdge 1600sc with four SCSI drives. Two are stand-alone, and the other two are in RAIDx (not sure the actual RAID id). It does not have an integrated RAID controller (nothing under integrated devices in the BIOS related to RAID), the client has a PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller PCI card for that.
I am considering implementing an iSCSI shared storage array using SATA SSDs instead of the 15k RPM SAS drives we normally purchase.
We normally use RAID 10 because of spindle contention with the random IO produced by virtualized workloads.
I was wondering if we could switch to RAID 5 or RAID 6 to have more usuable space now that spindle contention is less of an issue.
Hey Ubuntu Forums, long time no see.
So i'm trying to set up a RAID, but i'm a bit inexperienced and i'm not sure if the configuration i want to achieve is possible. I was hoping someone more knowledgeable could point me in the right direction.
I have one 2TB and two 1TB drives that i would like to configure in such a way that would be equivalent to two 2TB drives in RAID0.
I have a Proliant ML350 G8 with two SAS raid arrays currently set up - thereby maxing the default P420i raid controller. I need to set up a large video dump space in addition to this existing set-up (for non backed up, non-critical, temporary storage).
I had planned to just add a 2TB SATA disk and plug it into the motherboard.
I currently have a Ubuntu 12.04 server booting off a USB stick and running a raid 0 configuration with 2x 2TB drives.
I would now like to add an additional stand alone drive (not as part of the raid). When I add the drive to the server and reboot I get an error indicating that my raid is degraded.
I'm using a Supermicro X9SRE-3F motherboard with the latest BIOS and 2x 4TB drives connected to the on-board SATA controller.
If I set the BIOS to RAID and create a RAID 1 array, the array shows up in the BIOS as 3.6TB.
I have Dell Poweredge T100 server with Dell SAS 6 and two hard disk on RAID 1.
Last week the server died including one RAID 1 hard disk. We sent the server for repair and the problem with PSU was fixed.
I have leased a dell poweredge r210 server, it's default configuration is CentOS 5.x as OS and a hardware RAID 1 controller configured. I want to configure my hardware RAID but can't seem to figure out where.
