ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
But I nevwer told yoy I have a RAID on hardrives with OS.
(C) OS windows 7 x64 or other windows 7 x64 (D) RAID0 for export (E) RAID0 for editing You can see fron my previous post that "Marvell 91xx SATA 6G" Controller" menages "E" hardrives with RAID0 (2 Tera) Property Value Manufacturer (unit Model MARVELL Raid VD 0 Size 1999.3 GB Firmware Version MV.R00-0 Serial Number 912b7df672560000 Interface Serial ATA Standard ATA/ATAPI-7 | ATA/ATAPI-7 T13 1532D version 4a Transfer Mode (Current / Max) Unknown / Unknown Features 48bit LBA, NCQ Drive Letter(s) E: Controller Buffer Size on Drive 8192 KB Queue Depth 32 Removable No SMART Support No I'll tell you right now: In the top drawer there is a hardrive with OS Lower there is a second drawer with a second hardrive with another OS but it is disconnected In short, when I surf in Internet I use an OS When I do editing I use another OS I remove the top drawer (with the OS) and put it below (disconnected), then I take second and I put it above (with another OS) and I do editing video. I invert the drawers (but lower one is always disconnected. This is an option that gives the Case Cooler Master HAF-X. Then I have the internal hardrives that you already know. Perhaps my PC will need that icon on the Toolbar which allowed to eject an array? But that would be a single drive. Your OS then, isn't on a RAID array, if you move a single drive to change the OS. With the Intel SATA ports, you can operate a single drive, while using the other ports for RAID. You need to draw a picture of the wiring. Trace where the SATA cables go, and which drive is on the ports. ICH10R ---------- \ ---------- \ ---------- \____ 3 dual stacks labeled (7) in ---------- / the motherboard manual ---------- / ---------- / Marvell 9128 ---- \____ One dual stack labeled (8) in ---- / the motherboard manual JMB362 ---------- \____ Two ESATA ports on the back of the computer, ---------- / Identify which drive, and their sizes, and the port the drive is connected to.

If you look at PDF page 38 here, they show an example of the Marvell BIOS screen. This shows whether an array has been defined. But it doesn't *prove* that Windows is using the drives as a RAID. You have to verify that in Windows itself. Windows could potentially use the two drives separately. If you saw "too many drive letters", that might indicate that something was wrong. http://download.intel.com/support/mo...aid_manual.pdf The MRU utility is also mentioned in that manual. if you look on PDF page 14, you can see a display of "logical" drives. That means, the RAID arrays. Your MV.R00-0 for example, should show up as one line in that display. Another way to confirm you have a RAID zero, is first look at the size information on each of the two drives. Say you purchased two 1TB drives and connected them to the two available Marvell 9128 ports. If the MV.R00-0 array was created, and it was type RAID 0, then you know the final size should be 2TB. That to me, would be proof enough that the RAID 0 is working. That manual is not for your exact setup, and there can be cosmetic differences in the appearance you see on your computer screen. I'm showing you that manual, to at least give you some idea what it looks like. The Marvell BIOS screen is a text mode display, while the Windows MRU program has color decorations, but gives the same information. Paul I'll tell you right now: In the top drawer there is a hardrive with OS Lower there is a second drawer with a second hardrive with another OS but it is disconnected In short, when I surf in Internet I use an OS When I do editing I use another OS I remove the top drawer (with the OS) and put it below (disconnected), then I take second and I put it above (with another OS) and I do editing video.

If you look at PDF page 10 of the manual... http://download.intel.com/support/mo...aid_manual.pdf there are tick boxes on the installer screen. Web Service MRU (required) Command Line The manual is pretty useless when it comes to details. It is hard for me to tell from here, that the MRU is available in your programs menu. I can't find an executable, whereas I can find plenty of files related to the web based option. I can't even find what runs if you attempt to run the command line utility. Look in your program files folders, for executable programs which the installer has installed. Paul |

ASUS SABERTOOTH X58: I dont succeed to install new Chipset.
Paul,
may be you don't understand my bad english. I have installed again MRU Utility and I have gotten again a red icon on Desktop. If I click on it, shows a page: https://localhost:8443/MRU/JumpPage....e&reqID=556854 I have serched that program utility in every place. I don't have any utility like PDF page 10 of the manual. I have installed: Marvell MRU Utility V4.1.0.1610 for Windows 32/64bit XP & Windows 32/64bit Vista & 32/64bit Windows 7 37,75 (MBytes) from Asus web site. |

Web Service ----- MRU (required) Command Line The installer has installed a "web server". The web server gathers the local RAID status information. What this does... https://localhost:8443/MRU/JumpPage....e&reqID=556854 is it uses your web browser. The address "localhost" means to contact the web server that is currently running on your computer. (The Marvell web server software uses Apache web server and php scripts.) The 8443 is a particular port. Normally, a web server would be at port 80, but to prevent a collision, they moved the port up high so it would not cause a conflict. The "https" is a secure protocol. That is used, so that when you enter a username/password to access the web page, the username/password are encrypted, as are the exchanges of information. https is a good protocol, whether used locally inside the computer, or used over the Internet. localhost:8443 Your -------------------- Apache Web Server + PHP scripts Web | Browser (MRU -- gather information) | Marvell Driver | | Disk 1 Disk 2 The username/password is to access the apache web server. I don't know if they are maintaining a separate username/password on the web server, or are just using your computer username and password. The manual doesn't make that clear. If you don't like the web server, there is also supposed to be a command line interface, so there should be an executable file with .exe in it, which also carries out the MRU functions. This is what the user manual from the Intel site says: "Software Components During a full installation, all of the following components, except the CLI [Command Line Interface], are automatically installed on your computer. A custom installation requires you to select individual components. The MRU software CD includes the following items: Driver. The driver is automatically installed on your system during MRU installation. Web service. The Apache server is automatically installed on your system during MRU installation. Marvell Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI, for only Linux users, is available with custom installation of the software. Note: The Linux operating system will be supported in a future release of the MRU." So that tells me, that all they provide, is the web based interface. The only tough part now, is figuring out what username/password to use. This manual is a bit more user-oriented. Perhaps this will help ? http://download.asrock.com/manual/ra...A3/English.pdf On page 8 it says: "Login Screen When you first start the MRU, you are prompted for a username and password. MRU user accounts and their permissions follow the OS user accounts and their permissions. Only user accounts with administrator privileges have access to all permissions. Non-administrator users have view-only permissions." That to me, suggests that Windows will need a password set, on some account with administrator level privileges. In this contrived example, your computer will have a control panel that adjusts user accounts. If the account has "administrator privileges", then when you enter the Marvell MRU web page with your browser, you will be able to make changes to the RAID array (like rebuild a RAID 1 array for example). If the username and password you use, are a non-administrator account, then the Marvell web page is supposed to be read-only. http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/6...eraccounts.gif Some people have no password set on their Windows account, which will make this interface difficult to use. You could always set up a separate account, call it RAID_Only_Account and give it the level of privilege you feel is appropriate. The end result of fooling around with the user accounts on the computer, is you may need to enter your password each morning when starting the computer, and that would be an unfortunate side effect of making changes in the User Accounts area of the computer. So I cannot say I like this method. It requires too much modification to the computer. So, looking again, at the image on page 8 he http://download.asrock.com/manual/ra...A3/English.pdf that will be some Windows user account already on your computer. If the user account is an administrator account, then the web page MRU controls will allow making changes to the RAID. You don't need to make changes at the moment, and a non-administrator account should allow just the status of the RAID array to be displayed. Paul |
