Ξεκινησα τη διαδικασια σημερα να φταιξω το drive bender pool με 9 σκληρους, εβαλα τον πρωτο δισκο κενο, ολα καλα, reboot, και μετα βαζω τον δευτερο δισκο με δεδομενα κανοντας merge. Παλι reboot
Εγινε σωστα, ο δισκος ομως περιειχε ενα shared folder ονοματι videos, αυτο λιγη σημασια εχει, αλλα μου δειχνει critical alert οτι το folder is missing.
Ξανα reboot, αλλα το προβλημα παραμενει.
Converting Your First Drive With Data To The Pool:
If you’re a current WHS 2011 user, you’re going to want to take all of your existing data/drives and put them into your new Pool Instance (Drive Pool) EXACTLY the way you have them set up.
So, if your Server Folders are on drives d:/, e:/, f:/, etc. then you will want to convert them to your pool EXACTLY the same way. If you’re obsessive compulsive like I am and want to only have one drive letter, WAIT UNTIL ALL OF YOUR DRIVES ARE IN THE POOL AND WORKING CORRECTLY BEFORE CHANGING OR MOVING ANY DATA.
Only use the “Move the Folder” function to move the folders to a new drive.
1. Choose the drive which contains the smallest amount of data to convert to the pool first.
2. On the WHS Dashboard, click on the Drive Bender Add-In tab and click on “Convert An Existing Drive To A Pooled Drive”.
A popup will appear and you will select the hard drive that you want to convert.
Again, I would suggest starting with the hard drive that has the smallest amount of data on it and convert it first.
One thing to note – error messages DO NOT appear in the traditional manner. The error messages appear in Alert Viewer. I wasn’t prepared for this when I first converted a drive, but I finally found this message:
Reboot your computer. You may have to reboot twice.
Launch your WHS Dashboard and go into your “Server Folders and Hard Drive” Add-In. You should see your “Server Folders” exactly as they were before.
You can go to “Pool Management” and you should see your first drive.
If you don’t, wait a few minutes and reboot again.
Remote in and launch Windows Explorer from your WHS 2011 server and on every Server Folder you converted, right click on the folder and run “Properties” and document the number of Folders, Files, and the total Size of the Server Folders so you can verify all of your data is there, which it will be.
Once this has completed correctly, continue converting your drives and ALWAYS REBOOT BEFORE ADDING A NEW DRIVE.
I did this twice on my drives. One drive converted in just fine. The 2nd drive, an 11TB RAID 5 (about 7.5TBs of data) “hung” and I had to reboot a couple of times. After one of the reboots, the drive letter or “mount point” disappeared in Drive Bender. I recreated the “Server Folder” and pointed it to the directory on the hard drive where the data resides. This solved the problem and the data was all there.
Drive Bender changed the directory or folder structure, but all of the data is there in a new directory as shown below.
Once you’ve “Converted” all of the hard drives to the Pool Instance (Drive Pool), reboot one more time.
After you reboot, you can reset all of your Server Folder permissions, User Access, and HomeGroup settings.
Merging a Drive
Drive Bender also allows you “merge” data from a hard drive into an existing Server Folder. This comes in handy if you have a drive from another computer that you want to use with your pool AND you want to put the data into an existing Server Folder.
By clicking on “select path” you can pick the exact spot where to insert your data.
Τι να κανω ξια να εχω το ιδιο Folder structure οπως και πριν?
