I am new to SAN and we are going to setup a SAN with size around 1TB (EMC 
 
CX300). 
 
We are considering whether we should split the 1TB storage to 2 RAID Groups 
 
of size 500GB.  This is because someone mentions that the performance is 
 
better we split it.  Is it correct ?  Is there any other reason we have to 
 
create different RAID Groups ? 
 
Besides, inside each RAID Group, we are going to create a number of physical 
 
LUNs for different servers.   Someone also mentions that we can c ...

Hi all, 
 
After I upgrade OS to windows 20003 R2, then all SAN disks can not be seen. 
 
We use QLA2200F and download the latest driver.  Still, all disks are shown 
 
missing and offline? 
 
Thanks in advance.

Hello all 
 
I have a win2K3 storage server (workgroup) which I am currently setting up 
 
in a domain environment with exch2K3. All the documentations show the web 
 
based administration tools. 
 
typically in any windows server you would go to Windows 
 
components/application server/IIS/WWW service and choose "Remote 
 
Administration (HTML)" option and that will be installed. You will connect to 
 
it by going to https:\\server:8089. 
 
But this option is simply not available in my windows  ...

Hello all 
 
I have been reading MS documentation and searching the web on connecting 
 
exch2k3 to windows storage server. All of these documents refer to installing 
 
the Feature pack, but none of them say how to get the feature pack and where 
 
and how to install it from. 
 
Could anyone shed some light on this for me please? 
 
Many thanks

Hi all, 
 
Has anyone used the VDS Hardware providers with the new Windows Server 2003 
 
R2, Storage manage for SAN's ? 
 
I'm just curious as to how well it works ? 
 
I am currently testing a SUN StoreEdge 3511 that I would like to try the 
 
"Storage manage for SAN's" on. Does anyone have the VDS drivers for this 
 
system? Are they available and at what cost? 
 
I have raised tickets with SUN who have not responded yet. 
 
Thanks in advance

I had two more quesitons on SIS I am hoping someone can answer.  First, is 
 
there anything I need to worry about in the interaction of SIS and Shadow 
 
Copies?  Second, does utilizing NTFS compression on a volume prevent SIS 
 
from fully functioning?  Thanks much.

I have a server running Storage Server R2 and I have some questions about how 
 
data is stored using an iSCSI LUN.  This may be a complex question so bare 
 
with me. 
 
I have set up a LUN under LUN Management in Storage Manager for SANs and I 
 
am set up another server to connect to this LUN via the latest MS iSCSI 
 
initiator. 
 
But under disk management on this other server, I‘m prompted to format the 
 
volume.  The actual volume on the storage server already has data on it with 
 
sh ...

Hi all, 
 
I've got a problem with my usb-stick. 
 
When I was at the customers office, I gave it to the secretary for 
 
printing a few documents. I don't know what she did, but now there is a 
 
file "EA DATA. SF" on it. The file is locked by windows, and - moreover 
 
- windows tells me now, that the "media is write protected". 
 
I didn't find any hint what this file means for windows, nor how I can 
 
remove it. 
 
Anyone knows? 
 
Thanks. 
 
Regards, 
 
Gerd

Hello, 
 
I am currently running an online backup service using NovaNet-WEB 
 
software.  My current environment includes a single Dell PowerEdge 2850 
 
server (2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 10K RPM SCSI drives in RAID 5) and two Dell 
 
PowerVault 745N NAS boxes (2.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 4x250GB 7200RM SATAII 
 
Maxtor Drives in a RAID 5).  The nature of the application is such that 
 
I end up with millions of mostly small files on my storage volumes. 
 
The application seems to have at least a 20K overhead for e ...

Trying to setup a replication through dfs. With our Windows 2k sp4 domain

I have a fileserver with 4 gig of ram.  It has performance problems often and 
 
perfmon says that the system is paging a lot.  Task manager doesn't show any 
 
program using a lot of memory. 
 
Anyone know of a way to see what is being paged or what program is doing it?

Hi, 
 
for testing puposes i installed the Storage Manager for SANs, iSCSI 
 
initiator 2.02 along with the Stringbean Wintarget VDS driver .95 on one 
 
machine. I use a second machine as an iSCSI target running with the 
 
Wintarget .95 software. 
 
The connection between the iSCSI initiator and the target is fine, the disks 
 
show up in the local disk manager. 
 
But the problem is that when i start SMfS it only says that there is no 
 
local VDS service or hardware provider? 
 
So my questi ...

we just bought a Dell Powervault Direct Attached Raid unit which holds 5TB in 
 
Raid 5 and expandable to 20tb I belive, but when I going to the disk manager 
 
in windows 2003 standard edition, it can only let me create a partition for 
 
2tb. the rest is Unallocated and can't create a partition. 
 
I think I'm really massed up.  Do I need Windows 2003 storage server edition 
 
in order to use all that space? The plan is also to expand the raid to 
 
10-15tb in the future. It's only for archive ...

Hi Guys 
 
I have configured a SAN (an EVA 4000) just yesterday and when I boot up the 
 
servers to which the disks have been presented, the disks are appearing in 
 
doubles in disk management. There are a couple of servers where the number of 
 
disks appearing is thrice the number presented. 
 
For ex. I presented 10 disks to one of the servers and when I go into disk 
 
management, it shows 30 disks (thrice). Another server has 8 disks presented 
 
to it and shows 16 disks. I have done rebo ...

We recently had a repeating issue wtih one of our main file servers.  It's an 
 
HP DL380 G4 with 850GB of storage space on the D:\ drive.  It's currently 
 
operating with 5-70GB free space (fluctuating quite regularly).  A month ago 
 
on a weekly basis the server would just stop responding.  At the times we had 
 
50+ GB available (we've been as low as 1mb free and not had the issue). 
 
Connecting to the server via any method was near impossible. 
 
I managed to log in to the console without ...

I have two cameras I connect to the computer. 
 
The Sony, when I plug it in, shows up as "Removable Media." 
 
The Canon, when I plug it in, shows up as "Digital Camera." 
 
Is there some registry hack I can do so that the Canon shows up in 
 
"Removable Media"? Because XP gives you fewer file handling options for 
 
"Digital Cameras." 
 
Thanks in advance.
