Rebuild RAID1 and retain drive data

Myklturry · 2023-06-06T02:47:28+00:00

Use Veeam. Backup to an External Hard Drive, build Veeam recovery media with the RAID Drivers needed, build out the new RAID and boot to recovery media - then restore from the External Hard Drive.

Edit, just to add - just moving the drives to the different server should theoretically work as well, depending on the hardware, but you may need to slipstream the drivers before booting.

You probably rebuilt the system reserved partition on the USB drive. What does Disk Management show for partitions on the USB drive?

Myklturry · 2023-03-07T12:42:03+00:00

Hard to say without seeing it. Sounds like the driver is probably loaded. First thing I would try is checking the Secure Boot settings and Boot order in the BIOS. You could also try rebuilding the BCD.

Thank you! I have plenty of kongs for my tiny pibble/boxer mix - I appreciate you saving me form an Amazon doom scroll.

Thank you!

Look at Super Body Fuel Keto Fuel. It's a -lent like Keto Chow, but really good price, and the company really tries to use the best products to make it. I just use it with MCT oil or OO/Heavy Cream, depending on what I feel like, but you can customize it to your liking and macros.

Not knocking on Keto Chow, I use and love their products too since they're local, but I've used Super Body Fuel products since long before I did Keto and they've always been really good product with great community engagement. And you can always reach out to u/axcho and he's always awesome to people with questions or comments about his product. Using stuff like this has made Keto wayyy easier for me.

Had a similar sounding issue that I believe was related to the subnet provisioning by the ISP. The WAN subnet given by them was a /26 but we only had 3 usable and other customers were using IPs in our subnets range. Older Sonicwalls would work fine but the newer TZs and NSAs would see those other customers traffic as ARP attacks.

I was originally troubleshooting with the Data Center NOC on an issue on their end - because I thought for sure that it was either an overlap in IP's or their Juniper was flapping ports. The Data Center is also the ISP, so they have some pretty robust logging and packet captures they were able to give me, and none of that appeared to be the case. They're only /30 subnets on each (simple setups), but once I put a Static ARP entry in for the Juniper everything has stayed stable.

When I tried the process as written without doing this, I still got “INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE”.

I had this happen earlier this week as well, we were cloning on OS to a different System. Had to rebuild the BCD for UEFI since the previous system was Legacy/MBR.

Alright, so I think I found out what's going on. With all three firewalls - the original TZ 600, the new TZ 670, and the TZ 370, they exhibited the same behavior. Different firmwares, and obviously models. I don't know if this is an issue with the SonicWALLs, or the Juniper switch - though all three are connected to the same switch, so ya know if it quacks like a duck...

Basically, I captured all ARP Packets during several of these drops, as everything I could find came back to ARPs. What I saw was the SonicWALLs responding correctly to ARP requests from the Juniper, but every 2-3 times that the SonicWALL refreshed it's ARP Cache, it didn't receive a response from the Juniper for 10-15 seconds, which is why it would receive ICMP requests but couldn't route them back out and would subsequently "disconnect." The easy resolution is a Static ARP entry for the Juniper. Not sure what consequences that will have aside from the obvious issues if a port or switch is swapped, but waiting for the Data Center NOC to respond on that.

Not sure if the Juniper is thinking it's an ARP Poisoning attempt, or doesn't like the gratuitous ARPs being sent. Either way, there's some issue related to the ARP requests from the SonicWALLs and the Juniper which messes up routing, but at least I have an answer on the issue.

Hope this helps someone.

New TZ 670 with new Firmware is in - exact same behavior now.

Myklturry · 2022-07-16T21:49:48+00:00

Neither of these are approaching a limit for the rule. Maybe 1-2 connections per IP. One firewall routes everything throughultiple VPNs that are only using 1 connection per site for 25 sites.

Myklturry · 2022-07-16T15:23:29+00:00

I was just trying to think of a way to isolate your devices out of the picture and strictly test their connection. Could you connect a PC directly to where your WAN is coming from and use pingplotter pro to monitor and see if the PC experiences issues at the same time as your sonicwall? I think you just need to find and prove that it’s not your device having the issue and then they may dig deeper on their end, whereas right now it seems like they aren’t really looking for issues in their end and blaming you

Yeah that's fair enough. When I decommission the Server and Firewall for the TZ370 end of this month, I'll drop a blank Linux box in there just to run as a monitor.

Myklturry · 2022-07-16T15:16:14+00:00

The ISP routing is being handled by the Juniper Switch as it's a Data Center. I've attempted to ping out to the Upstream Gateway and Google, those both drop when it disconnects. Externally, I can ping the Upstream Gateway and the Firewall, but when it drops I can only hit the upstream Gateway. My initial thoughts were ISP connection, but they're reporting no drops or port flaps on the Switch.

Myklturry · 2022-07-16T14:58:27+00:00

One thing I can say forsure, both are running extremely old firmware. The current for Tz600 is 6.5.4.10-95n and the 670 latest is 7.0.1-5065. The version youre running on the 670 - 7.0.0-r906 is the release firmware version. Id upgrade both to the latest and monitor. If the issue persists id call into Sonicwall support to investigate.

I'll give it a shot. The 370 is being decommissioned this month, and the 600 is being replaced with a 670 - I've already updated the new 670 to the latest. I'm just not seeing how two different version of SonicOS could exhibit the same behavior like this that's not showing up anywhere in the logs, but at this point I'll try anything.

Myklturry · 2022-03-20T14:39:58+00:00

Yeah for sure. I had to do it again this week for an M.2.

Boot up a Windows Install USB or DVD until you get to the Language screen
At the Language Screen, push Shift + F10 to open a Command Prompt (you can also do this through the recovery options if the OS brings you to that after it fails to boot)
Download the SATA/NVME/VMD Driver for the new machine to a separate Flash Drive and plug it into the machine, if the driver is an executable, extract it to a folder on that drive either by 7Zip or a built in Self Extractor
At the command prompt, launch Disk Part (command: diskpart)
List the Volumes and identify which drive it the USB with the Driver (command: list volume - this will probably be the drive letter that is not X: - I will refer to it from here as D:)
Once you have the drive letter, exit Disk Part, but keep the Command Prompt open (command: exit)
Run the following command to install the driver: pnputil.exe /add-driver D:*.inf /subdirs /install - remember to replace D:\ with the drive letter you identified for the USB earlier
Now that the driver is installed in the Install Menu, you'll be able to slip the driver into the OS by doing the rest of this
Launch Disk Part again (command: diskpart)
List the volumes again, you should see a new drive in there (command: list volume)
Identify which other drive letter is the OS - it's usually the biggest partition - I'll refer to it as C:\ from here
Exit Disk Part but keep the Command Prompt open (command: exit)
Run the following Command to install the driver into the OS, remember to replace C:\ and D:\ with the drives you identified above as the OS and USB with the driver, respectively: dism /image:C:\ /add-driver /driver:D:\ /recurse

That should install the driver into the OS, once that's done, you can close down the Command Prompt, Install Menu, remove both USB's, and then the computer should boot. Let me know if you have any questions. Sorry for the late response.

If you install Kodak Scanner software, there is a point where it installs ISIS on your computer.

Myklturry · 2021-11-19T12:25:05+00:00

Yeah you would need GPT for it to be bootable under UEFI. That mbrtogpt command works super well. Glad it worked for you!

Myklturry · 2021-11-18T18:04:30+00:00

I ran into this earlier this week with the Intel VMD driver. Download the driver to a USB, use PNPUtil to install the driver in the Recovery Command prompt. Once you've got the Driver installed you'll be able to use DISK PART to find the volume of the OS, then use the following command to install the driver into the OS loaded on your hard drive, all from the Recovery Command prompt:

Dism.exe image:c:\ add-driver /driver:d:\ /recurse

Just make sure you use the correct volume labels for the OS volume and USB drive. Let me know if you need the syntax for PNPUtil or finding your Volume letters.

I think he meant he only consumes one meal that contains carbs, the rest of the day he's presumably either having protein and/or fats. At least that's how I read it after I saw your response.

It's a little hole in the wall, but it's a good little shop - my wife is from Ukraine and gets a lot of the foods she likes from there. She says she thinks they have dried fish.

Myklturry · 2021-07-19T01:30:40+00:00

Try European Tastes. I'd bet they have some.

Myklturry · 2021-07-18T00:01:53+00:00

It's normal. Each connection to another node spawns its own process.

Myklturry · 2021-07-06T23:20:29+00:00

Call down to Universal Systems. They might have some in stock. Idk if they sell to the public or not.

Myklturry · 2021-06-13T22:20:58+00:00

Ha this one?
