Disk drives and other devices are attached to the ports. Logical view: Shows the hierarchy of controllers, virtual disks, and disk groups that are defined on the host server. Physical drives also appear in the Logical view, so you can see which physical disk drives are used by each virtual disk. When this is the case, the date and timestamp line will display ' ' as the value.
Also, swapping hard disks will only display ' ' in the MSM log section. Properties tab: Displays information about the selected device. Operations tab: Lists the operations that can be performed on the device selected in the left panel.
Graphical tab: Selected in the right panel if a physical drive or a virtual disk is selected in the left panel. Note - You can view the Redundant Paths property when you remove and restore a path to verify that your version of MSM is multi-path aware. The messages are: Redundant path inserted. Redundant path broken. Rescan is seldom required; the display normally updates automatically. Operations Menu: The Operations menu is available when a controller, physical drive, or logical drive is selected in the MSM window.
The Operations menu options vary, depending on what type of device is selected in the left panel of the MSM window. You can also view the Operations tab in the right panel.
If an operation requires user inputs before it can be executed, it appears in the Operations tab but not in the Operations menu. A device-specific Operations menu pops up if you right-click a device icon in the left panel. Log Menu: The Log menu includes selections for saving and clearing the message log.

If this warning displays, click the active content warning bar and enable the active content. Drives with bootable partitions do not appear on the list of available drives to create a new virtual drive. To make physical disk drives with bootable partitions available for use in creating a virtual drive, you must clear the bootable flag in the partition or remove the partition. In the Physical tab, click Controller 0.
The Configuration Wizard dialog box displays. Select the physical disk drive s and add the selected disk drive s to the new array. Note - Two disks can be selected at the same time by using the shift key after making the first disk drive selection. Both physical disk drives should be highlighted. When you are finished, click Accept, and then click Next. The Virtual Disk Creation dialog box displays. Click the active Accept button, and then click Next. On the taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open field, enter diskmgmt. For details see the Service Manual for your product. Changing Virtual Disk Properties This section describes the virtual disk parameters that you can set when you use the Guided Configuration or Manual Configuration modes of the Configuration Wizard. Init State: No Initialization: The new configuration is not initialized and the existing data on the disks is not overwritten. Fast Initialization: MSM quickly writes zeros to the first and last 10 MB regions of the new virtual disk, and then completes the initialization in the background.
This enables you to start writing data to the virtual disk immediately. Full Initialization: A complete initialization is done on the new configuration. You cannot write data to the new virtual disk until the initialization is complete. This might take a long time if the disks are large. Caution - To prevent an inoperable system, do not initialize a drive on which the operating system is installed. Initializing any drive overwrites the drive contents, including the operating system if it is installed.
This is different from the way in which properties are changed for virtual disks. To Change a Virtual Disk Property 1. Select a virtual disk icon in the left panel of the MSM window. A list of virtual disk properties displays in the right panel. Change the virtual disk properties as needed in the right panel. Click Go to accept the changes. Deleting a Virtual Disk You can delete virtual disks for a number of reasons, including rearranging the storage space.
Caution - To prevent any data loss, including the operating system OS , back up the data on the virtual disk before you delete it.
Ensure the operating system is not installed on the virtual disk you intend to delete. Note - Virtual drives with a bootable partition cannot be deleted. This prevents you from accidentally deleting a drive that contains the operating system. To delete the virtual drive, you must clear the bootable flag in the partition or remove the partition.
To Delete A Virtual Disk 1. Back up all user data on the virtual disk you intend to delete. Click Go. Caution - This Save Configuration command is problematical and is not supported.

Any problem during the removal? And in particular, let along those installed folder, files, and cache files And manual finding and removing all of these leftovers is a daunting task for many common computer users, for that they have to check a great number of folders and registry database to remove the associated files completely, and any small mistake could cause further and more serious problems on the system!
Especially the important and sensitive system registry database. RAID 5 is striped, meaning the data is spread across the drives with parity bits on each to allow the RAID to rebuild data from a lost disk. Topics Microsoft. See all comments 4. Thanks for tutorial.
Would be awesome if they offered raid Server Fault is a question and answer site for system and network administrators. It only takes a minute to sign up. Connect and share knowledge within a single location that is structured and easy to search. Can someone tell me the name of the program used to do this, or send me a link to this program.
