Failing Controller Or Drive
Mar 28, 2009
one of my servers has 2x250gb hard drives in hardware RAID 0 using a 3ware controller, but ive now got the following error message 3 times prior to 3 server crashes, my server supplier beleves it one of the drives failing (i have backups on a non raid drive so rthats fine) but i suspect the controller, whats everyone else think...
Code:

Just got this server setup, getting some smart errors. Here's a copy of the trouble ticket I posted to the host, they said "If you read through the documentation for smartd you will find that from the results you pasted, your hard disk passed every test. We can give you another hard disk if you want but we will have to charge you 3 credits for the reinstall of the operating system." I could be wrong, maybe everything's fine, but the fact that there are unreadable sectors reported has me a little worried.

Is it possible to clone centos 4.6.x + cpanel 11 hard drive to brand new disk with same capacity? just like we clone hard drives in windows with noton ghost ?.
I have a server with failing hard drive (smart errors) and drive must be replaced soon but i feel lazy to restore everything from backup hard drive and was thinking it will be smart to just copy mirror of primary hard drive from original hard drive to knew one. Is this possible?
I do have 2 backup copies, so don't worry about that .
Btw, i found this link which says its possible but i am not sure. Please suggest.

I had a smart error emailed to me by the server, so I had Savvis do a hard drive test on my server. They told me my main drive has some bad blocks and is failing. I have a new drive in the tower as a slave already. I went into WHM and clicked in list accounts, the change partition button for a smaller account. That worked moving it from /home to /home2. However when I tried it with a larger account, it seemed to time out. I have all the clients moved accept one, who has a site with about 14 gigs of data.
I think the command would be: mv /home/admin /home2/admin
Is this correct, or is there a better way to do this?
Also if I move it in SSH, will WHM list accounts auto update itself, or will I need to do something for that as well?

1- i did Os Reload with new Hard drive for "home"
2- data "backups" drive lost
3- replaced the old home drive as "/old drive"
4- " /old drive " is now the secondry drive in my server and it has the all sites usres and evry thing
5- what i need , to trasfer, copy this sites from " /old drive " to "home"
but data center said
The /olddrive/home directory contains the contents that were previously in the /home directory. You can copy files from this directory to any other directory on your server.
The command to copy files in the UNIX environment is the "cp" command.
The user directories in /olddrive/home directory contain the web page files for the users. However, simply copying the contents over will not recreate the users or domain entries in DNS/httpd. If you wish these back you will need to recreate them manually or restore them from backups.

Primary drive (centos/cpanel) is corrupt
The server is displaying these errors when I tried to do an FSCK:
Bad inode IO
ext3-fs error (device(8,3)) IO Failure
I am having a new primary installed and old primary set as 2nd drive. I need to recover the cpanel domain accounts from this 2nd drive after I mount it with the method below:
mkdir /backup
mount /dev/sdb1 /backup
However, how do I actually recover these accounts in an automated process via whm? I've done this before with the same matter (corrupt primary drive, mount as 2nd, etc) but cannot exactly remember the proper steps.

I just purchased a brand new 10K 150GB drive. How can I take an exact copy of my current drive and transfer everything over to the new drive? I think I need to create a snapshop, or mirror it somehow.
What software will do this? I was told trueimage, but its very pricy, is there anything else?

I am looking to hook up 4 WD Velociraptors to a Raid array. My #1 priority is speed, thus I will be doing RAID 0.
I'd prefer something from Canada.
I just thought of it, 4 drives on RAID 0 might not be a good idea ... Should I opt for RAID 5?

I've only tried whmsonic shoutcast admin pro to create sc accounts
I used whm to create cpanel hosting accounts before so had an idea.
With whmsonic admin pro i was a bit lost, creating cpanel hosting
accounts so i could ad those features to shoutcst accounts
But from what i've read, cast control is more straight to the point
You don't need to be creatings cpanel accounts first etc etc.
Is there others that any of you have on your servers for setting
up shoutcast accounts with hosting for uploading audio files ect
Autodj and so on.

I have a dedicated box and I started getting Input/output errors today.
I tried:
# fsck
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
e2fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
then I tried:
# fsck -a -t ext3 /dev/hda2
fsck 1.40-WIP (14-Nov-2006)
/dev/hda2: recovering journal
fsck.ext3: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/hda2
My data is backed up, so was going to ask for a reimage, but is this an indication of bad hardware? Should I ask for a replacement drive? Is there anything else I should try on my own before going to the host?

We had one of RAID controllers failed on our IBM RS/6000 server. There are two RAID controllers on this server, one holds the OS (AIX) and the other one holds our database and this is the one that failed.
Anyway, I've always thought that once a RAID controller failed and we put in a replacement controller, it will reformat all the hard drives that were connected to the failed controller, which means we would have to restore the data from backup once the new controller is in place. However, the IBM technician we dispatched was able to build the new controller and connect all the drives to the new controller without reformatting the drives. I think he copied the RAID controller's configurations using SMIT. I think that was amazing; it saved us a lot of time.
My question is, is this something unique to IBM hardware/AIX or other hardware and OSes (Linux, Windows, etc.) have similar capability?

I am looking for a cheap sata controller that can do JBOD with a PCI Express interface(preferably low profile, 2U server) and proper driver support for linux and solaris. The cheapeast one I found is from supermicro but I don't think they can be used in non-supermicro servers. Any suggestions?

I'm seeing the following from dmesg:
Quote:
3w-9xxx: scsi0: AEN: INFO (0x04:0x0053): Battery capacity test is overdue:.
When I'm in the CLI console (tw_cli) and tries to test the battery, I'm seeing the following:
Quote:
//vpsXX1> /c0/bbu test
Depending on the Storsave setting, performing the battery capacity test may
disable the write cache on the controller /c0 for up to 24 hours.
Do you want to continue ? Y|N [N]:
This is a live production server with client VPSs on it. Anyone here actually did 3ware battery test before on production system? Is it ok to do this? I'm seeking someone actually performed test operation before, not from someone just assumes it will be ok.

I have a 3ware 9650SE-24M8 RAID Controller. It was working fine for a few days and today while I was changing the RAID configs and installing different OSs, it just stopped working. Now when I boot my machine up it does not even detect any hard drives or RAID controller. I looked inside the box and the LED light on the RAID controller that is usually solid green is now blinking red. I googled for solutions but all searches lead me to useless information such as blinking red lights on the server case.

This problem has happened to me twice on the very same server. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong with it.
My raid controller is Areca 1160 + 1GB Ram + 16xWD4000YS. Initially I had the problem of the disk dropping from the array randomly. I suppose this problem has been fixed since I have upgraded disks firmware according to WDC suggestion.
But there's another problem now. From my observation, the controller is randomly dropped off the system. When this happen, I cannot read/write anything from the disk at all. I can SSH in and able to run Areca CLI tool to see what's going on but only to get the message saying that it cannot find any Areca controller.
My only option is to restart the server and fsck all those 16 disks (not fun). I checked the log on the RAID controller itself, there was no sign of problem at all. No alert, no disk being dropped off the array, no events logged at all.
I'm using CentOS 4.3. Firmware on the RAID controller is 1.41, latest is 1.42. (Stupid me for not upgrading firmware when server crashed.) I plan to take the server down for RAID firmware upgrade soon. I just hoped that it's just problem with the firmware, not the controller or backplane itself.

We have a domain portal controller for windows. All the machines in the n/w are connected to it. So, when ever an user enters the user name and password it gets authenticated from the domain portal controller. So, my login can be accessed anywhere in the netowrk.
Example : my login is sabarishks which can be used in any machine under this domain controller.
But, if the system is installed with both linux and windows only windows username will be authenticated using the domain controller. Whereas, the linux users will work with in the system using /etc/shadow file. Hope, I am clear so far.
The requirement is same as above. The authentication mechanism for linux should work as windows. When ever an user is entered with a username and passwd, it should get authenticated from domain controller.
I mean, the user created in a windows machine should be used for linux login also. More importantly, It should work in all systems.
Which technology can be used to do this? Samba,Ldap, NFs or what?

we've been testing CentOS 5.3 on Intel DG35EC board (G35+ICH8+82566 Gb NIC), and found that the write speed out of 7200rpm SATA-II drive, connected to on-board ICH8 controller, is consistently under 10MB/sec which is quite horrible!
the same set of hardware can get 100MB+/sec transfer rate with Debian 5.0 and FreeBSD 7.1, just not the CentOS5.3! it doesn't matter whether AHCI mode is selected in BIOS or not, and of course BIOS has been updated with latest version.

I have a Win2K3 server which has 2 hard drives. I was considering backup options and I thought that I might try mirroring Drive A ==> Drive B. I would think that, then, if Drive A has a hardware failure, I could simply switch Drive B into the Primary slot (A) and the server would continue to hum along as nothing has happened. This would reduce the downtime, hopefully.
I have 3 questions.
1. Is this idea practical (will it work)?
2. What is a good software program to use fto handle the mirroring?
3. Any considerations, warnings, technical advice in regard to this method?

Today i just noticed i cannot login to my Direct admin panel no more all the sudden, but was working fine 24 hrs back.
So i login to root, and hit yum update, but guess what i get :
-bash: /usr/bin/yum: Input/output error
And to my surprise i go to /home/user/ to look for sites, and the public_html folder is un-accesible and is all pinkish/orangish with question marks besides them :
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? public_html
^^
Even tmp folder says this :
[root@myproxyhost tmp]# ls
ls: reading directory .: Input/output error
i noticed this when i try to update da password or change it so i could login to DA :
[root@myproxyhost tmp]# passwd
passwd: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib64/libuser.so.1: cannot read file data: Input/output error
what happened is this end of HDD and data corruption ?
Its got centos 5 64 bit version :
