| Unable to format hard drives after moving a Fusion storage system from a Mac to Windows computer. | Mar-23-10 |
| If you move your Fusion storage system from a Mac to a Windows computer system and try to format the disk using the Computer Management Console in Windows, the disk will show up as a GPT Protective Partition with no way to format it.
To properly format the disk, follow these steps:
1) Open a Command window (Start > Run > cmd), then start.
2) List your disks with list disk, then select the appropriate one with select disk X (with X the number of your disk as seen in the listing).
3) Issue a clean all command to erase all information on the disk. At this point you may be able to use the disk again from the management console;if not, continue with a create partition primary. |

| I upgraded the hard drives in my D500P to larger drives and only one drive is showing up. | Nov-29-15 |
| The D500P had enough power for the drives shipping at the time it was sold. Newer, bigger drives take more power to start up and may not all show up at startup.
You may solve the problem by switching to a Sonnet E4P SATA II controller. The Sonnet driver for the E4P implemented staggered startup, which supports any size drive in the D500P. Because the D500P also has a SATA II interface, there is no loss in performance using the E4P SATA II card. The newer Sonnet SATA III controller cards use drivers included in OS X and Windows that do not implement staggered startup.
As a temporary measure, you can power up the D500P and plug in the drives in succession, effecting a staggered startup.
You may also install a larger power supply. Contact Sonnet support for more information. |
