Web Interface for Rocket Raid 2720 - can't connect

27 October 2012 - 02:08 PM

Hi Guys, once a month I check my Raid integrity by running the Web interface validation. Usually on a Sunday morning after WHS has done its Back-up cleanup.
This morning I tried to launch the interface and got an explorer error cannot display webpage https://localhost 7402/
Any ideas why this has started to happen, the service is running I checked that with the Rocket Raid Service Manager.

WHS2011 wakes up at 6am

14 October 2012 - 02:24 PM

I'm running LIghts Out on my WHS2011, for some reason my Server wakes up at 6:00am every day for 10 minutes then goes back to sleep.  I don't have anything set in the Lights out Calendar at that time.
Any ideas on how I can find out what service is running at this time.

Its not causing me a problem, just curious.

Western Digital WD20EARX Drives 2TB

Do I need to apply the jumper to a WD20EARX drive similar to an EARS drive.

WHS V1 seemed to identify it OK and I added it to my storage pool and it all seemed to work fine.

I don't want any corruptions though so tyhought I would ask.

Window Server 8

Been tossing up whether to migrate off WHS V1 to WHS 2011, so was interested to hear about the update to Windows Server 8 and it being a replacement / alternative for WHS V2.

Maybe its time to set up a separate forum for all things Server 8.

One of the frustrations I have is streaming HD video from my V1 box to my Lounge TV, sometimes it works flawlessly at other times it stutters, the only thng I can put it down to is the WHS doing some disk activity to maintain the storage pools.

If Server 8 enables flawless streaming of MtS files then I'm jumping on the Beta wagon.

Whats the best option for the OS

17 November 2011 - 03:22 PM

Folks, just planning out a WHS11 build, been listening to the podcasts over the past year or more and have read many posts.

I want to mirror the OS so I appreciate there are 3 primary options use the mobo raid, a dedicated raid card or the icydoc cage.

I have excluded any software raid configurations and am not planning on using any of the DE options.

I'm will purchase a highpoint Raid 2680 card for a raid 5 array of the main storage pool, everyone seems to be very happy with that configuration, so I guess I could set up the OS on a separate array off that card.

Regarding the drive types and size, should I purchase two 2.5inch 200gb laptop drives or should I just purchase 2 * 2TB 3.5 inch drives and partition them so as I can use the extra space for data storage.
Should I look for SATA 3 drives or would sata 2 5400 rpm drives be OK.

The purpose of the WHS is for:-
1) Backing up my home PC's
2) Streaming HD video

What are the considerations for making this decison.

Thanks
