new hard drives in proliantPartition Magic??? - Original Message - From: David Mazzaccaro To: NT System Admin Issues Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 4:16 PM Subject: new hard drives in proliant I (successfully) replaced all 4 (72GB) hard drives in a proliant server w/ 4 (300GB) drives. I replaced one drive at a time over the course of a week. Everything is working great, the Raid 5 array is only using them as 72GB drives. I realize this is exactly as design. So, Now I would like to utilize the extra 200GB on each drive. I believe this is called expanding the array? Not sure where to go from here. The array configuration utility has an option to do this, so that shouldn't be a problem? After that, I assume I have to expand the logical drive to utilize the new space, and then somehow tell Windows to expand drive?

RE: new hard drives in proliant
Diskpart. Did this with ISCSI all the time, when we expand the volume adding additional drives windows just sees a bunch of free space. As long as Windows sees available space on the logical drive it can expand it. Make sure you have a good backup.

RE: new hard drives in proliant
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had (4) 72GB drives in a RAID5, I replaced one at a time with 300GB drives. The array doesn't change, so it is only using 72GB of each drive. This array only contains data. There is a separate RAID1 which Windows 2003 server is installed on. From: Louis, Joe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 29, 2008 5:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: new hard drives in proliant David, I'm not sure that what you are planning is going to work. I could be all wet, but I think the Proliant software will expand if you have free space on the volume. Your array sounds like it was already maxed when it was originally built on the old drives. If I am understanding what you are saying, you replaced raid members that were 72gb with 300gb drives? When you added the 300gb drive (one at a time) and the array rebuilt it, it did so as though it was a 72gb drive. That isn't going to give you more space. Does this array also hold the OS?

moisture sensor ideas

GPOs gone bad!
Acrobat has found a new way of being a PITA, but it's probably because of something subtil in my GPO configuration... I'd asked the group about leaving the old GPO for Acrobat (which installed 8.1.1) when 8.1.2 came out. I was told I could leave the 8.1.1 as is, and the system would apply the newer one. WELL, when users re-boot, it seems the system tries to apply both versions (whether or not they've already been applied). Sometimes it installs 8.1.2 first, then attempts 8.1.1. (That seems to result in no Acro reader at all.) I think I've deleted the 8.1.1 GPO. HOWEVER, users still have to sit and watch in annoyance as a re-booted machine once again goes through the 8.1.2 installation process. Where in the network is the leave it the $#* alone! setting for once a GPO has been applied?

This does not seem to be the default here. The only time I get a .BIN file in the document is when it has an embedded object.

chkdsk says no problems, but lots of files are missing
I rotate two USB hard drives for offsite backups. I removed one and put in the other and noticed the volume label was that of the old one (safely disconnected), and that I couldn't access the volume even though the drive letter showed. After rebooting the computer nothing changed, but I could run chkdsk on it. It corrected several problems in the MFT, and now subsequent chkdsk's show no problems found. I have one file still visible on the root of the drive, but the backup folder and subfolders are not there. Looking at the properties of the drive shows the used and free space that indicate these files are still there. I can format, recreate the folders and just start over, but I'm interested in trying to solve it if I can.

One thing that people are complaining about though is that it went to a web only interface like Virtual Center. The nice part about it is the people who use/know vc this is an easy manageable interface. The people who don't complain about its kludginess as compared to 1.0x. I think the reason for this move is because 2.0 is manageable by VC. This means if you have esx boxes and free vmware server boxes in your environment you could manage them through a single web interface that is VC. They might end up releasing a free VC in the end to manage vmware server, which would greatly reduce the learning curve for those people who are in vmware server and migrate up to esx. Just a sales ploy IMO, but more free products, whos complaining? 2.0 forces debugging mode on, which takes about 30% of your resources on the box. Basically making any 2.0 beta production box down to useless. It also wants to convert your drives to the new version. Conversion is pretty simple but going back requires some daring keystrokes on the .vmdk directly. I think when its ready it will be a good product.

crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files
I have 2 boxes and each contains 2 NICs. The first is a 100mbps NIC used for the network and hooked into a switch. The second NIC is a gigabit card. Between the 2 gigabit cards I have a crossover cable so those 2 boxes can talk at gigabit speed. Each gigabit card is assigned an IP address and entered into the boxes host file. My question is how do I verify that when I transfer files between these 2 boxes that it is using the crossover cable and talking gigabit. I am just using an unc path to access a shared folder on the other box and then copying the files. I thought by entering in the IP addresses in the hosts file it would force the 2 boxes to use the crossover cable. Am I correct?

RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files
No need to verify if you are using a crossover with a different network address segment as the LAN and you have the name of the second machine in the hosts file. It will ONLY use that for resolution. IE Comp 2 is on the local network and the crossover. Comp 2 crossover address is 10.0.0.2 and the lan is 192.168.1.2 If input comp2 10.0.0.2 in the host file it wont find comp2 if the crossover is down. (use of the host file isn't recursive, if it finds an entry there is stops, even if that machine isn't up.)

RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files

RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files
Assuming that you entered it into the host file correctly (not being a jerk, but just worth a double check). You may also have some dns cache left on your local machine so running an ipconfig /flushdns might make it work as well. After that, make sure your crossover connection will work period, unhook the LAN on one of the boxes and see if you can ping the other host and connect via UNC. At least then we will have a better idea of what the issue could be.

One thing that people are complaining about though is that it went to a web only interface like Virtual Center. The nice part about it is the people who use/know vc this is an easy manageable interface. The people who don't complain about its kludginess as compared to 1.0x. I think the reason for this move is because 2.0 is manageable by VC. This means if you have esx boxes and free vmware server boxes in your environment you could manage them through a single web interface that is VC. They might end up releasing a free VC in the end to manage vmware server, which would greatly reduce the learning curve for those people who are in vmware server and migrate up to esx. Just a sales ploy IMO, but more free products, whos complaining? 2.0 forces debugging mode on, which takes about 30% of your resources on the box. Basically making any 2.0 beta production box down to useless. It also wants to convert your drives to the new version. Conversion is pretty simple but going back requires some daring keystrokes on the .vmdk directly. I think when its ready it will be a good product. New support for o/s like e2k7, win2k8 etc will likely be in there. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

QA with Amazon about the Server 2008 Security Resource Kit
Question 6: In your opinion, which network faces the biggest security risks today: the small office with multiple power users or large corporation with a large LUA base? Answer 6: The unmanaged networks. I have seen very well managed and very secure networks in both small and large organizations, and I have seen poorly managed and very insecure networks in both as well. It is not really a matter of size but of how much time and effort is put into the security aspects of it. One of the largest weaknesses seems to be training. Security today is about end-points. The attacks are against people [emphasis mine] far more prevalent than those against technology and vulnerabilities. We need to, as an industry, understand how to push the security out to the assets that we are trying to protect. Another great article by Jesper: http://msinfluentials.com/blogs/jesper/archive/2008/02/28/q-amp-a-with-amazon-about-the-server-2008-security-resource-kit.aspx Eric Eskam =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The contents of this message are mine personally and do not reflect any position of the U.S. Government The human mind treats a new idea the same way the body treats a strange protein; it rejects it. - P.

RE: new hard drives in proliant
Agreed. I've done it on HP hardware this way for many years (Solid backup is also key to have ready, just in case). After replacing each disk one at a time, in the end you'll have your disks exactly as you described. Run the disk expansion utility in the HP software, and after it completes, you'll have a nice big volume. Then in Windows you run the diskpart command as Sean stated below and it will expand the volume to fill the free space, giving you the extra room you need. Keep a solid backup though just in case. -Greg From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 5:28 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: new hard drives in proliant I am sorry, but if the card supports expansion that is a perfectly legit way to expand a raid card.

RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files
Then something is wrong (e.g. firewall, cable not setup correctly etc) Assuming that the closed segment is 10.0.0/24 and your two machines are 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2, then try to ping 10.0.0.2 from 10.0.0.1 and vice versa (assuming that any firewalls permit ICMP Echo Request/Response) Cheers Ken -Original Message- From: Bill Krumel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 4 March 2008 8:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files I tried using the IP address in an UNC path as shown below to a shared folder and this did not work. -Original Message- From: Howard J Coates [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 2:47 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files Use the IP address in the UNC path? i.e. \\172.16.0.10\Share Warmest regards Howard Coates - Director IT, Internet Networking Support Services 126 Main Street, Lower Largo, Fife, KY8 6BP, U.K. Tel: 01333 329118 Mob: 07957 435549 Skype ID: howardcoates www: www.coatesconsulting.co.uk Registered In Scotland No. 171227 Registered Address: 19 East London Street, Edinburgh EH7 4ZD VAT Registration Number: 682 8131 23 -Original Message- From: Bill Krumel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 03 March 2008 20:44 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: crossover cable between 2 boxes to transfer files I have 2 boxes and each contains 2 NICs. The first is a 100mbps NIC used for the network and hooked into a switch. The second NIC is a gigabit card. Between the 2 gigabit cards I have a crossover cable so those 2 boxes can talk at gigabit speed. Each gigabit card is assigned an IP address and entered into the boxes host file. My question is how do I verify that when I transfer files between these 2 boxes that it is using the crossover cable and talking gigabit. I am just using an unc path to access a shared folder on the other box and then copying the files. I thought by entering in the IP addresses in the hosts file it would force the 2 boxes to use the crossover cable. Am I correct? What would I use to verify? thanks, Bill ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~
RE: HP Processor Swap
Looking at the manuals, it doesn't look like the DL360's have those modules that connect onto the motherboard like the DL380's? Would that module be the same in the DL380 for a 5110 and 5335?

Both systems are compatible with either processor, but obviously the heat sinks will be different. I can't remember the last time I actually handled a proc for one of these beats if the heat sink was factory bonded or not? Will it detach from the CPU so I can swap these?

.NET Framework installs to wrong volume
Is it just me who notices that if you have a server with more than one volume, like a C and D drive, all versions of .NET install and create a x:\Program Files (where x is not the partition where windows was installed) for some of the files? How do you prevent this? Thanks! jlc ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja!~ ~ http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm ~

Re: dns reports
That was $45 too much. On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 8:04 PM, David Florea, SysAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: www.dnsstuff.com -- I think we only paid about $45 or so for their basic toolkit.

I just need something similar to the dnsreport's lookup feature . For something I use about once every few weeks I don't mind paying a little but 80/yr seems a little much. Im sure there are downloadable toolkits to do the same thing. Like maybe Sam Spade and stuff?
