Hi All, I have couple of new DELL servers where i need to configure disks, these servers have windows server 2012 installed on it. Kutumb Serial All Episodes Download more. Let me tell you about one server. One server has 6 disks attached each of 10k speed. When i start up the server i could only one disk with 600gb on which OS is installed and all other disks are not showing up in my server. So i went to the BIOS settings to configure the disks by creating virtual disks on servers. Later i created physical volumes from the virtual disks in WindowsServer.Then it showed 5disks with 500Gb space. So far so good.

But i could see only 5 disks with 600GB space, there is one disk that is missing. When i go to BIOS i see only 'Virtual disk 0: (20GB) online ' for the missing disk, but all other disks are showing as 'Virtual disk 1: (600GB) online', Why this showing only 20GB for the Disk 0 i am unable to understand. It is even showing 20GB in Storage Pools of ServerManager of WindowsServer.I know that StoragePool shows only the unallocated space, but why this is showing 20GB allocated space when it has 600GB. So, what i have done here is I deleted that virtual drive to reconfigure it.

Unfortunately my entire OS has also gone after removing that virtual disk. Now could you please suggest me whether the things i have done is correctly or not.

If i reinstall OS on those servers will i get that missing disk configured correctly I am BI developer, it is my first time to configure the servers. So please forgive me in the case i have done mistakes:).

How did you configure your RAID? You have 6 Disks, did you configure your RAID like this: Disk #1 and Disk # 2 = Raid 1 (Mirror Disk) Disk #3, Disk#4, Disk#5 Disk #6 = Raid 5 (Striping with parity) or how did you design your RAID? If you are not the one, who configure the RAID ask them the detail of the configuration. And like on the example above, if RAID 1 is configured it won't show up on Windows configuration. Even though you have 6 disks, it will only show 5 disks.

Because the other disk is mirrored, therefore it will not appear on windows. NOTE: Be careful though to reconfigure your RAID, once you reconfigured it then you will lost everything. You need to start from scratch.

Every second counts.make use of it. Hi Dave, Thanks you very much your reply. My server has 6 disks placed each having 600GB space. As i said earlier i am able to configure only 5 disks, but i am not able configure the missing Disk(Disk 0). When i deleted that virtual drive(that is showing only 20GB) which is mapped to a physical Drive having 600GB space the entire Operating System got deleted.

So I need to reinstall OS in that server. So my question is why that drive was missing earlier?

And if I re install OS on this Server can see the missing drive now. Thanks you in advance. As Dave said this is probably due to the RAID controller (Dells name is PERC). I would try to enter the raid controller prior to the server booting and seeing how it was configured. This is a userguide for some of their Raid controllers. But since you havent said what modell or configuration your server has im not sure how it is configured.

If your card is of that modell you enter the Controller BIOS by pressing CTRL+R during boot when the Raid card flashes on the screen.

You need to start from scratch. Every second counts.make use of it. Thanks Dave, Cguan & Oscar for your valuable suggestions. I finally figured out what has caused the problem.I spoke with DELL and they have given me a software to download from DELL website to know the RAID configuration levels. After installing the software i have seen that the virtual disk 0 is configured to have only 20GB space,i increased that to 600GB.Now all drives are up for me.:) Thanks a lot for helping me. Before i finish this thread, Now i have all disks up.

All disks are configured with RAID 0, as rightly pointed by DAVE i am not using mirroring or RAID. Can you guys configure suggest me what RAID levels i need to configure for disks to make them fault tolerant. Assume that my goal is to retrieve the data when any of the drives are offline or Down. To make the best use of disk space you can configure a raid 5. This will give you roughly the sum of disks minus one disk for parity.

In other words a 3 tB disk. You could have one disk fail without data loss but at that point would no longer have fault tolerance.

Be sure to do it at hardware level. Don't do it in Windows as that would be software raid. Datacard Id Works Serial Podcast here. Regards, Dave Patrick.

I didn't design the RAID,but i have seen the configuration in the Server before the OS boot up.There i have seen all the disks are configured at RAID 0 Level. Even in this case also will that one disk act as a mirror to the remaining disks?. Could please confirm me on this. Rajesh if it is RAID 0, what could be the reason that they did it? Do you have any application that requires the RAID to be RAID 0? Check this article from Wiki: RAID 0 RAID 0 (block-level striping without parity or mirroring) has no (or zero) redundancy.

It provides improved performance and additional storage but no fault tolerance. Any drive failure destroys the array, and the likelihood of failure increases with more drives in the array. If you have the Dell RAID Manager installed on the server, open it up and it should tell you the exact configuration of the RAID. If it is really RAID 0, i suggest you re-design the RAID while it's not too late. There's no fault tolerance on RAID 0. Every second counts.make use of it.

There are no H710 drivers for 2003, as the H710 was designed for 12th generation servers, and Dell does not support 2003 on any of their 12G servers. Your best option would be to run 2003 as a virtual machine rather than directly on the hardware. You could, however, try the following: H700 driver for 2003 (hard drive version, extract first): H710 driver for XP (from Precision workstation): H710 LSI equivalent controller (from lsi.com): Also, remember, that the H700 does NOT support non-RAID, so before the OS can see ANY drive to install to, RAID must first be configured in the CTRL-R utility for the H710.
