Dell Poweredge 840 Server - Recover Lost RAID5 Configuration / Data
Jan 18, 2012
I was upgrading the OS [c:] on a DELL Poweredge 840 server from Win2k3 server to Win2k8 R2 server using the Dell SMTD DVD to prep the install. This has always worked in the past without destroying the data partitions. (I have now found out this only works properly if the OS is on a RAID 1/0/10 and the data on a RAID 5)
In this case the OS & Data were both on RAID 5 & the Dell tool reformatted (quickly) or maybe reset the partition table so that it looks like one big drive. I noticed this once I got to the install screen for Windows 2008 R2 and shut down the system.
Are there any utilities that can be run from a bootable CD/DVD that can undo the format on the RAID 5 set or else let me browse & recover the data on the various partitions?

I'm a Dell Partner and I've been trying to figure out why I can't order a Poweredge T410 server with 8GB of RAM. The only options are 3GB, 4GB, 24GB, or 32GB. I ordered a T410 for another client at the middle of last year with 8GB of ram. Now they don't offer that. I realize I could buy RAM after the purchase, but I'd rather just buy the server configured the way I need it for the client and not have to worry about separate warranties on the aftermarket memory, etc.
Also, I want to do a custom RAID configuration, as suggested a few times on the forum. Two harddrives in a RAID-1 array for the OS, and four harddrives in RAID-10 (or RAID-5 with a hot spare) array for data.
I did an online chat with Dell and the rep said it was not possible, i.e. what you see in the online configurator is what you get. Do I need to call Dell to get a custom configuration?

I have a Dell PowerEdge 2800 (Just reinstalled windows Server 2003) I have tried the two (non lan) network driver setups that dell has on its site and I get "the update package is not compatible with your system configuration".
I am trying to access the internet on my box, how to accomplish this or fix the problem I'm getting while loading driver setup?

I working with two PowerEdge R515 systems and for some reason I keep getting strange power errors on the front LCD where it turns orange. It started with one about an on-board regulator failure and this morning when I came in both machines were powered down with a different LCD error, something about the Fault-safe voltage being out of range? They both say to contact support.
I got these error logs this morning. All the power readings show as being ok in the iDRAC page and in ESXi readings.
System BootThe system board PFault fail-safe voltage is outside of the allowable range. System BootThe system board PG voltage is outside of the allowable range. System BootThe system board PG voltage is outside of the allowable range.
The only strange thing i see is that on the power supply tab it says the max input wattage is 750 with the actual input being 972.

I'm having a really difficult time getting to find the right drivers for a poweredge 1950. I know it has 2 broadcom on-board NIC's and they work fine in Windows 7 so I feel I should be able to find drives for Vista bus 64. I tried downloading the drivers from the dell site and they turned out to be drives for server 2003 and 2k8, and wouldn't work with Vista.
how to identify the chipset of the onboard NIC's so I can do a better search for the drivers? I tried running Belarc advisor which usually gives pretty detailed info but it didn't even mention the broadcom's.

I have a dell poweredge 830 (3.0 dual core pentium, 2gb ram, 2x160gb hdd in raid 1, dual port intel gigabit card). I'm trying to find a router OS that logs bandwidth by ips on the lan. I tried untangle and clearos neither of which have a feature (or one that I can find) that logs the bandwidth by ip. Apparently pfsense has a package you can install but I have never been able to get pfsense to work on this pc, it always errors in one way or another (on the 2.0rc3 I can't access the web page, it says it is missing a file).

have a Dell Poweredge 2500, and it only has PCI slots, and i need to get a sata controller to add 1/2 drives to it, i am unsure what would be the best, but i am not looking to spend more than 60 or so for it, i am not worried about it being the greatest out there, as this server is going to be replaced in 6 mths, i am just outgrowing the 4-18.6 gig hot swap scsi drives, and my pockets arent deep enough to buy high capacity scsi drives, i will probably add 1, 1 or 2 Terabyte hard drive and a dvd-rw.

My Vaio's screen is dead due to a dead graphic card (long/short/short beeps when starting up). But i can't easily remove the harddisks and connect them through an external USB-SATA because they are in raid 0 configuration..The laptop still works (i hear the windows 7-soundlogo) but I can't get access to it since i cannot see what i am doing for installing eg VNC or Remote Desktop software. Command line commands? try portable VNC installations? remove harddisks and bring them to a recovery centre?

I lost my router 192.168.1.1 password and how to recover?

Ok, so what I want to do is make a router/firewall/proxy (maybe add webserver/FTP as well). Just to start off I want to say that I have moderate knowledge of Linux, enough to administer it from the CL. I have setup routers before but it was years ago and I've forgotten some of the details involved. What I do is a base LAMP install, with DNS, Samba, DHCP server, OpenSSH and then Webmin for easier administration. I've also installed EHCP (easy hosting control panel) in the past but have not at this point.
So, what I want to know is how do I setup the NIC's in the etc/network/interfaces file. Let's say that eth0 connects to the modem and eth1 & 2 are internal adapters. Currently my network is running a Linksys WRT54GL with DD-WRT and the router is set to DHCP for the WAN connection and DHCP is running on the internal network as well. The modem is at 192.168.254.254 and is giving the router an address of 192.168.254.1 my internal network is 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.0/24). I would like to setup my internal router address to 192.168.1.1 so I guess I need to set it to static in my interfaces config and then set my eth0 to dhcp. Does this sound correct?
So if I do the above my only question is how do I setup the routing tables after that? I always get messed up when I need to make the switch from my Linksys router to my Linux box. I'm not worried about firewall rules at first I can change those once I have the router up and running. I just don't know if I need to make some kind of bridge to bridge the eth0 and eth1 (external NIC and internal NIC).

I have E4200 v1 with 1.0.3 firmware and an old 2.5"/120GB hard drive. Today I discovered that all my data where lost. They were there not longer than a couple of days ago. I'm almost sure it's not my fault and the drive is healty. I'm now moving back datas onto it and I will check for them daily.
1) I had no power loss;
2) I didn't reboot nor I didn't switch it off/on;
3) I didn't copied files since days;
4) The last time I used it I just browsed files;
5) It's not exposed to the internet but just to local network;
6) The router hasn't logged admin logon other than from my computers.

I had my external drive plugged into the e3000 with the network drive mapped on 2 laptops. One day my connection was slow so I backdoored the router ip (I didn't use cisco connect) to reset the router from my iPhone. I'm not sure exactly what was changed, but the partition disappeared from the drive. I've used a couple file recovery programs to try and retrieve the 250+ Gb data that was on the drive with no luck. They only find "deleted" files. Not the 13k files that were there and not deleted. The drive was never bootable. What to be used to recover the files.

I have RFID Reader (10.10.63.2 - 255.255.255.240) connected Cat-6 POE to ws-c3750x-24p-s - standard TCP/IP web service app pulling data from the reader every 250msec: I have my app server connect via vlan by ws-c3750x-24p-s IP address (128.1.70.1 - 255.255.0.0) as you can see its on a different sub net;
I can ping the device from the server - although I'm not getting any data coming through: my config are as:
0 [switch 1 provision ws-c3750x-24p-s]
1 [system mtu routing 1500]
2 [ip routing]
3 [no ip domain-lookup]
[code]...
I can ping the device from the server - although I'm not getting any data coming through.

I have a Belkin N750DB (F9K1103) that has been working great for many months. All of the sudden, when I reboot it r power cycle it, it loses its configuration. Even if I restore the configuration, it immediately goes away. I have tried unplugging for an extended time and holding the reset button for a full factory reset.

I have two ACE-4710 in active/standby mode, running code A3(2.2). Four contexts are configured. Both devices were functional without problem, until I reload the standby unit. After reload, the standby unit completely lost its configuration with exception of the FT vlan and the FT peer configuration in the Admin context... Both units recognized each-other and I can still ping the primary unit on the FT vlan, but nothing else. Contexts are lost and interfaces are shutdown! Nothing changed at the software level, both devices run exactly the same image and the same licences are installed (it worked well before the reload).
So, I decided to reconfigure the basics on the standby unit in order to trigger a config sync from the primary. And here arrives the problem : I reconfigure the FT vlan, the FT peer, I check the peer state and everything is OK.
Then, I try to ping the primary unit from the standby unit with success :
switch/Admin# ping 192.168.16.1
Pinging 192.168.16.1 with timeout = 2, count = 5, size = 100 ....
Response from 192.168.16.1 : seq 1 time 0.000 ms

I have a 2960 that bounced several times over the weekend and then appears to have lost its configuration. Using CDP from the backbone switch pulls up the information below. Is there any way for me to configure the downed switch from another switch on the network? I am trying to avoid having someone from the site try to find a console cable and a suitable computer with a serial port. [code]

I did nothing different to my computer. It was online fine and then an hour later when I came back, it wouldn't load any pages. I have a DSL modem and a wireless router that also connects another family member's desktop to the Internet. (As well as our phones via wifi.). The connection is fine on the other PC through a wireless adapter (both are desktops), and on the wifi the phones work perfectly so I know the modem and router aren't the problem. But even though my desktop says it's connected (not wirelessly, it directly connects to the router.), no pages will load. If I use chrome browser it eventually tells me this webpage is not available regardless of which page I try to load, or sometimes it's telling me no data received - unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data. Yet oddly a couple of times after forever it seemed to half load a couple pages. Internet Explorer just keeps trying to load pages forever with blank white page as a result.

I am setting up an offsite storage server for work at my home which will sync a few times a day to grab data and i wanted to ask about options for encryption or if i should worry about it.i am going to be initially dumping about 1-1.5T worth of data, with then maybe a couple of gigs a day added of new stuff.i am going to use server 2008 r2 as i am also doing a read only DC/AD for this system to give me and offsite controller just incase also.
I was thinking encryption for one more level of safety just incase something happened to the server, like theft or something but not sure what could reliably handle that much data ? System is only a dual core e7500 with 8G of ram, i have 2x500G SATA in raid 1 for the OS and 4 x 1T drives in raid 6 with 2 more coming.

The inbuilt wifi card on my 1521 laptop has lost it's range, I now have to be within a few feet of my BT hub or else the wifi signal keeps dropping out, have checked it not the hub by connecting another PC through wifi. I've taken various numbers from the original card but none of them matches up with the part No's on the Dell website, of the three numbers on the card I think the Dell P/No is DP-N OPC559.
