I have just installed Windows 7, then Ubuntu... and when I`m trying to boot system...there is no Grub... just simply windoze booting...
How to install windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 / Fedora 13 on Raid 0 ?
I have configured software raid 5 during fedora installation process . It works fine and it is a fault tolerant but when i configured raid 5 after os installation by using mdadm, it does not seem to fault tolerant . If any of the drive fails in array whole raid partition is failed . configure raid 5 after os installation

I am currently trying to configure a set of hard drives as a RAID configuration. My system is running with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 5.1 as the base OS. I am booting from CD. I am trying to image a set of drives that have not been imaged before. When the GUI dialog window for disk setup is displayed, it shows a default disk layout including a LVM slice. In the disk layout is a /boot partition already. It is not what I would like so I edit it to be the size for my system and make it the primary partition. I also select it to be a software RAID. I then add three more partitions for my drive 'A' all of type software RAID and NOT primary partitions.
At this point my drives have the correct number of partitions except for showing the LVM slice. I select 'RAID' again, followed by selecting 'Clone a drive to create a RAID device ...' followed by 'OK'. I then get a dialog to select the source and target. i select my drive 'A' to be the source and 'B' to be the target followed by 'OK'. An error dialog is received stating that all the partitions are not of type software RAID. The disk partitions are all type software RAID except the extended LVM slice. I can not get past this point and I am following a procedure written some time ago by a person that is not available.
Why could there not be a 3-way or even 4-way RAID level 1 (mirror)? It seems every hardware (and at least the software I tested a few years ago) RAID controller only supports a 2-way mirror.I recently tried to configure a 3ware 9650SE RAID controller. I selected all 3 drives. Then RAID 1 was not presented as an option. Only RAID 0 (striping, no redundancy) and RAID 5 (one level of redundancy, low performance). Is there some engineer who thinks "triple redundancy is a waste, so I'm not going to let them do that"? Or is it a manager?
Mirror RAID should be simple, even when more than 2 drives are used. The data is simply written in parallel to all the drives in the mirror set, and read from one of the drives (with load balancing over parallel and/or read-ahead operations to improve performance, though some of this is in question, too).
I wanna configure RAID 1 within TWO HDD in RHEL-5 during installation moment .I have the following questions regarding software raid vs hardware raid :
1) What is the basic difference between hardware and software raid
2) In software raid , If I use two HDD as RAID1 , then if one HDD is failed , can I boot it from another HDD ?
3)In software RAID , Between two HDD , If One HDD is failed then if I remove bad HDD and add a spare HDD then is it automatically synchronized with FIRST HDD ?
4) In software raid is it possible to keep '/boot' partition in two HDD (I use 2 HDD as RAID1) as separate partition ?
5) Finally is there any documnets or sites where I get software raid configuration during INSTALLATION moment in using GRAPHICAL mode , plz give me the address.

View 9 Replies View RelatedCould any RAID gurus kindly assist me on the following RAID-5 issue?I have an mdadm-created RAID5 array consisting of 4 discs. One of the discs was dropping out, so I decided to replace it. Somehow, this went terribly wrong and I succeeded in marking two of the drives as faulty, and the re-adding them as spare.
Now the array is (logically) no longer able to start:
mdadm: Not enough devices to start the array.Degraded and can't create RAID ,auto stop RAID [md1]
I was able to examine the disks though:
Code:

As I don't want to ruin the maybe small chance I have left to rescue my data, I would like to hear the input of this wise community.
I have a spare machine running Windows 7 Pro x64 in RAID 0 (software RAID). I would like to install Fedora 13 x64 on a dedicated SATA HD (non-RAID) already in the machine but I'm unsure how Fedora's boot-loader will react to the RAID 0.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently bought a new computer, and would like to take my existing RAID-1 from the old computer to the new computer, as the disks hold many digital photos. The old RAID-1 was in a DELL XPS 400 (and based on the intel 82801GR chip I guess), and the new computer has an intel ICH10R. I understand that both chips require a Windows driver if RAID-1 is needed.
The old disks still reside in the "dead" computer. How can I proceed? I hope the solution is that fakeRAID can be enabled, but I would like to ask the clever and experienced community before I do something that cannot be undone (and maybe lose all my digital photos!). Or maybe you have a better solution?
If you need more information to help me then please tell me to post information; I do not really know much about setting up RAID-1.
I've just installed ubuntu 10.10 (64bit) on my 1TB drive where as I have my windows drives on a seperate 2x 1TB drives in RAID and am not exactly sure how to mount it.
I am not finding it under computer or under NTFS configuration tool and when I click mount under storage device manager it does nothing, although does detect the RAID array as /dev/sda2
Firstly i am using Crunchbang Linux (built on Ubuntu 9.04)
I have Win7 installed on the first HD in the system (500GB) and as such /dev/sda in Linux
I have two 1TB HD's which are in a RAID 1 configuration, built using Windows Logical Disk Manager, in Linux they are /dev/sdb & /dev/sdc
I have my fourth drive (again 500GB) with Crunchbang installed at /dev/sdd

Currently I have windows 7 x64 installed on a pair of raided ssd's using an x58 motherboard(ich10r) and I want to duel boot ubuntu x64 (either 9.10 or 10.04) on another harddrive (not part of the raided ssd's). Does anyone know if this can be done? I haven't found anything out there about this. I have tried to install Ubuntu from the CD. It gets to the install screen booting from the CD, but it doesn't let me install or try Ubuntu. I hit enter and nothing happens. I can look through all of the options but can't install or boot into Ubuntu.

I did some linux installation in the past but never get along with it. now I decided to give it another shot because I need it for the information security class I'm taking.
I have a gigabyte ga-p35-ds3 with 2 WD 320GB HD on a raid 0 array (motherboard raid). I have windows 7 x64 already installed on the raid and would like to install ubuntu 9.10 x64 dual boot with it.
The problem is that the installation does not recognize the win7 on the disk, it does recognize the raid as 1 640GB disk but with nothing on it so I can't processed with the installation without loosing the win7 installation with everything on it.
another weird thing is that after I quit the ubuntu installation and restart the computer the raid 0 fail to load. after I shutdown the computer and start it again the raid is up again and the win7 loading ok.
I have to install it in a dual boot with win 7 without reinstalling everything from scratch.
I have two 1.5TB hard drives (neither one are my OS drives) that don't show up under "Places", but are detected under "Disk Utility". I tried to reformat them, but Ubuntu tells me that they are in use (even they are not mounted). gparted also detects them and shows them as being NTFS parition. I have deleted and repartitioned to NTFS as well. This works until I restart my computer. The funny thing is that Windows 7 sees them just fine. More detail as to how this happened below after system specs.
System:
AMD Phenom II x 4 955
ASUS M4A79XT EVO motherboard
8GB DDR3 1333
1 500GB WD SATA drive (dual boot Windows 7 & Ubuntu 10.10)
2 1TB WD SATA drives (extra storage)
2 1.5TB Seagate SATA drives (extra storage, these are the problem children)
Here's how I got here:
Installed a dual boot w/ Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. Everything was fine and ALL drives showed up and were mountable in Ubuntu. I decided to set up a RAID 1 w/ my two 1.5TB drives. I restarted, changed my SATA to be RAID instead of IDE and created my RAID 1. I then realized that through this motherboard's RAID setup, I couldn't have it copy files from one disk to the other to set up the mirror. So, after I rebooted and the RAID started building, I cut the power and unplugged my drives in a desparate attempt to keep my data. I then went back into the bios and set my SATA back into IDE instead of RAID. I was able to back up my data, but this is when the problem started.
Again, Windows 7 sees and uses the drives just fine. I copied the data I wanted from my 1.5TB drives to my 1TB drives and restarted into Ubuntu. But, no 1.5TB drives appeared under Places. I started Disk Utility and confirmed that Ubuntu does actually see the drives. However, it still lists them as being part of a RAID array (I did delete my RAID array properly through the BIOS after backing up my data). I'm not sure why it thinks that and I believe that's my problem. Also, Disk Utility lists a THIRD 1.5TB drive under "USB and Peripherals". Could that be my MB telling Ubuntu that a RAID is still set up even though I deleted the RAID pair?
What I have tried:Reformatted drives via Windows 7 as NTFS. This completed but didn't solve my problem.Repartitioned the drives with gparted as NTFS. This works until I restart my computer. Attempted to reformat under Ubuntu, but it gives me an error saying the drives are busy.Reinstalled Ubuntu (but didn't reformat). Didn't work. What I'm thinking:Flash my BIOS so my MB starts out fresh and hopefully doesn't tell Ubuntu I have a RAID anymore. Reinstall Ubuntu again (this time reformatting my OS drive).
Anyone have ideas as to what's going on? FYI I'm new to Ubuntu.
I have a pre-existing setup with Windows XP Professional and CentOS5.5 on a dual boot setup with the Linux drive setup as the primary drive hosting the grub menu.
I am replacing these machines with new updated ones and they have windows setup on a RAID0. I think it would be easiest to follow my previous setup and move the RAID to secondary SATA ports and put the linux drive on the primary SATA port, or should I just change the boot order in the BIOS to have the secondary linux drive boot first?
can I move a RAID setup to secondary controller ports without breaking the RAID?
(This is for a 100% Clean install)
Q1) I was wondering if it is possible to Dual boot Ubuntu with Windows XP on a 1TB RAID-0 setup ?
Q2) Also, is it possible to create a SWAP partition (for Ubuntu) on a NON RAID-0 HDD ?
Q3) Lastly... I read GRUB2 is the default boot manager... should I use that, or GRUB / Lio ?
I have a total of 3 HDDs on this system:
-- 2x 500GB WDD HDDs (non-advanced format) ... RAID-0 setup
-- 1x 320GB WDD HDD (non RAID setup)
(The non RAID HDD is intended to be a SWAP drive for both XP and Ubuntu = 2 partitions)
I plan on making multiple partitions... and reserve partition space for Ubuntu (of course).
I have the latest version of the LiveCD created already.
Q4) Do I need the Alternate CD for this setup?
I plan on installing XP before Ubuntu.
This is my 1st time dual booting XP with Ubuntu.
I'm using these as my resources:
- [url]
- [url]
Q5) Anything else I should be aware of (possible issues during install)?
Q6) Lastly... is there anything like the AHCI (advanced host controller interface) like in Windows for Ubuntu?
(Since I need a special floppy during Windows Install...) I want to be able to use the Advanced Queuing capabilities of my SATA drives in Ubuntu.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a project in school that the requirement is to show the proof of concept of a high availability virtual servers. the guest operating system for the test case will be a Windows variant and a Linux variant that if the main host that hosts both of this VMs fails, both VMs will be restarted on the backup host. Simple enough with VMware vSphere and citrix xenserver with essentials with their enterprise features, But I am not allowed to use a software that one will need to pay-for or is only a trial version, i need to use an open source solutions, and i am not allowed to use virtualbox.
the school has provided me 2 server class 64bit hardware with intel-vt support, i have my laptop for management tools and to also run a virtual appliance for a iscsi target (openfiler as a vm in virtualbox in my laptop).
I have figured that i will use KVM on a ubuntu server as my hypervisor but i cant find any how-to on how to implement a high availability setup that will run a windows variant as a guest. can some one give me a step by step on how to do this.
from my research it looks like i will need DRBD and heartbeat, but i dont know how to use them and if they are applicable in my needs. I wouldn't probably use DRBD since I have a sudo SAN with my iscsi target, so i can probably use open-iscsi.
should the wine be configure to run the windows application. or will it run with out any configuration?
