We're trying to figure out the proper way to cable a dual controller ME4024 storage array to two S4048-ON switches that are configured for VLT. We will be using all four iSCSI CNC ports on each controller (8 total connections) and two subnets for iSCSI.
The following example from the official documentation has left us a little confused. If we're understanding this correctly, the docs are telling us to cable the CNC ports to the switches in such a way that one subnet is on Switch-A and the other subnet is on Switch-B. Highlights have been added to show subnets 10 (green) and 11 (blue).

Sorry if that has been asked before, but I could not find a clear answer to that topic.
I got 8 bays with 4TB HDD SAS 7.2K drives.
So I wonder if I make 2 RAID10 with 4 drives each or one raid10 with 8 drives, which one will give the better write performance ..read more

Have a customer with an important Win10 Pro workstation is showing a Failed Redundancy in a local disk software RAID Mirror. Neither disk is missing or offline, and no SMART errors are detected. Also, chkdsk reports no errors.
NOTE: I know they need to get of MSFT Dynamic Disk mirrors moving forward, my first goal is to find out if the data within is valid. Everything "seems" to be OK, and it is backed up. But the backup source coming from the mirror with Failed Redundancy.
Is there a way to confirm?
As for a fix - In doing some searching, I see various fixes that all seem to refer to a missin ..read more

I have an old desktop that longer boots. On it there's an 8TB Seagate hard drive I'd like to recover data from. I plug it into an external SATA reader and it will show up momentarily, but then disappear in Windows. I've had it up long enough to see that all of my files appear and everything looks fine, but then it will go away. I've tried running chkdsk /f and it will start, but it always fails after a few seconds. Is there anything you can suggest to pull the data off of it?  ..read more

Does anyone have experience migrating data from Quantum devices to Synology devices?
I had planned to do an rsync from the Synology, but it appears that it only allows you to push data to a device (used for syncing between two Synology's).
Is there a way to accomplish this without an intermediary device ..read more

A user wants to move away from onedrive on their 2 win 10 PCs that are on the same LAN / next to each other.
They are backing up pics, docs, desktop on both computers.
So any files created / edited / deleted from 1 computer, the same thing happens on the other.
He doesn't want to use onedrive anymore.
How would you unwind that BUT also still have the same effect of a file created on right is available in the same place on computer left?
What's people's opinions of offline files? It still exists? Usable in a workgroup?
What I envisioned is that:
I'd make sure all the files are available on comp ..read more

When deleting data or copying data directly in the UI, it can take days to delete. 2TB for example has been running over a day to remove. If I do anything with moving files local, it's painfully slow. The Raid is Synology Hybrid RAID. I have Synology HAT5310-8T 7.3TB disks. This supposed to be storage for backups but it's so slow it can take days to get one backup if not weeks. The disk write and read is only 2mb/ 9mb at most. See below. Any ideas ..read more
