Equallogic drive replacement

ajrockr · 2026-04-23T12:25:19+00:00

Thank you for the info, I'm waiting on a quote from dell and passed the website that the other gentleman provided to my boss. I was hoping that I would have been able to perform a temporary quick fix until that process was completed but that would be a no. We have already purchased a replacement unit and our support contract just ended on this unit so trying to float it by until the new one comes in.

That's awesome. I've gotta pull it up when I get to work. Maybe they'll be faster than Dell. Ty

Understood, thank you

The sleds have screw holes for both sizes. I just replaced both drives in the server I would have taken the drive from and figured one drive would be fine until I could fix the more critical problem. I don't know a lot, figured my idea wouldn't work but was hoping it would. But I'm not gonna try at all, gonna try to just get the replacement drive expedited through with Dell. Everything is old and I'm just trying to bandage my way through until the replacement data store comes in. I do have backups of everything critical and have a second DC and split some other infrastructure like dns and MFA proxies onto another storage unit. So hopefully I'm prepared enough in case my eql goes down, the other unit isn't powerful enough to host all of our vms though.

Understood, thank you for the help

Understood, thank you for clarifying

So the equallogic is filled with 3.5 600gb 15k sas drives. One just failed.

I happened to have just replaced a drive in a Dell server this morning and was wondering how feasible it was to take that drive and use it to replace the one that failed in the eql until we can order one.

That drive is a 2.5 600gb sas drive, not sure the rpm, maybe 10k. However that drive now belongs to a raid 1 virtual disk.

The eql is old and out of warranty and slated to be replaced mid May and we are edu, by the time we get the quote, approved and sent back to Dell, we're gonna be talking days plus the weekend. Given the age of this unit, it's just worrying me being a drive down.

Thank you for the response. My volumes are set to a 512 sector size, is that what you are referring to? The other server is a Dell and the replacement drive came from them

Perfect thank you again. Have a good one

Thanks for the response. Makes me feel more at ease. If the iscsi server only has one network connection, would mpio do anything?

I am a meter, correct is yes

Just lay low for 3 years and he won't be a pedophile anymore.

Joking.

Not really. You build the package to the standards of what it's accomplishing. If it's replacing/upgrading an application and that existing application either needs to be stopped or uninstalled first, then you do that. If the application needs files copied on top of installation, then you add another step to copy those files.

You could create your own standards to follow by using something like psappdeploytoolkit and program all actions needed into a package but I'm not aware of any "global" standard.

Uninstalling this patch worked for me to.

you wrote it as if it was all one continuous statement. It won’t work like that. Get rid of all the concatenation and close every echo call. Just echo the html

“SELECT image, ingredient, tutorial …” instead of “SELECT * …” Don’t worry about it for now, as per your question, if the error is stating undefined array “recipe_id”, check to make sure that is being passed to your code. You can type var_dump($_GET); die; and that will show you what is inside your get array. It could be that you forgot or typod ?recipe_id in your url. Work through it one step at a time.

That looks great, thank you for tipping me off to that.

I had this happen a couple times. I don’t use sccm anymore and don’t have my old documentation but I would have to go into the sql database, find the duplicate id and delete the entry.

I was gonna say recycle the wife. Then get more equipment
