I have a question: I have a large amount of storage directly attached to my server running Server 2012 Datacenter. I would like to create an iSCSI SAN on my LAN (the server is connected to the LAN via 4x Gigabit Ethernet). I would like to make this DAS available to all my Macs and PCs...

Hello, I have a Molex (with a little tiny 4 pin connector in addition to the molex) to SATA power adapter that came with an old Seagate hard drive. Can I use this adapter with an SSD or will it ruin the SSD? Thanks

Does anyone know how the drives in the Supermicro SC846 connect to the RAID controller? Do I need sata to sas 8088 adapters? also where do I put the drive to boot the system? Thanks.

Ok so would I setup the volume like this (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/clustering/archive/2012/06/02/10314262.aspx) and then share it via the iSCSI Target service? Then multiple iSCSI initiators on different platforms can connect to it just fine? Thanks.

That would be ideal, however I need to have iSCSI as they are treated as local drives and have better file consistency for my photo libraries (i.e, I need Final Cut Pro X to see the volume locally or it will refuse to use it to store projects). So, say that for the time being I just want to...

Yes, I know my question is very simple. Please allow me to ask this question; and please bare with me. How do I take a volume connected to my 2012 Server and share it via iSCSI such that my Mac (via globalSAN) and my Windows 7 PC (via MSFT iSCSI Initiator) so that they can connect at the same...

Thanks for your reply. Just a couple questions, can more than one client connect to your Microsoft iSCSI server? Does it have to be a windows machine that connects to it or will any iSCSI initiator work (ie globalSAN on my Mac) Thanks!

Hello, I currently have a 48TB RAID Array connected to my PowerEdge running Server 2012. It is connected via SAS. I have it in multiple volumes that can be formatted in any way. I would like one volume to be seen by other servers on the network for storage. I would like the other volume to be...

Hello, So I have a Dell PowerEdge R710. I did a restart via iDRAC. I went to the server room and low and behold, E1000 Voltage Failsafe and 3.3v regulator failure, re-seat PCIe. So, I did the following: Reseated All Components Replace Motherboard Replace PCIe Risers. Still Does n;t work...

I am using SFF-8088 - is it because of out of date firmware on the SAS Expander?

Hello, I have an Areca 1882-ix with Firmware 1.51 connected to an HP SAS Expander on a GIGABYTE board running win7 pro. I also have 24 Hitachi 2TB 7K300 Hard Drives. The problem is I can not get this setup to work. I want to have a RAID 60 with multiple volumes running to provide storage for...
