iomega storcenter ix2-200 firmware update

V2 of the firmware for an ix2-200 only supports 2TB partitions. Removal of the partition forces a new partition, once more only 2TB in size but no way to configure drive protection.įollowing article #2 above did not help much (tip: only follow #2 if you feel very comfortable in Linux and specifically LVM commands). The 2.7TB were not accessible even after resetting drive protection mechanisms, both from the v2.x interface and the command line. A little slow, but still works and saves me space on my primary storage. However, for ISOs and other items I also store on blu-ray, the ix2-200 works just fine. If I want enterprise class storage, I use my FC SAN. I have had Western Digital and Seagate both fail on me. Some people like Seagate, some do not I am on the fence. This implied I could go to the store and get some, which I did. Unfortunately, they are no longer available. This 3x upgrade seemed to be feasible as Iomega sold 3TB drives for the ix2-200. Since I like the mirrored drives in the ix2, I chose to get 3TB ones as a massive upgrade. In effect, 1TB is just not enough for everything I have. In effect, my ISO store had grown so large that the SMB fileserver was exhausted so I moved it all to the ix2, which exhausted its disk storage as well. However, this is about my Iomega ix2-200. I will be upgrading this later as well with a 10G network card and the latest RHEV. I also use an 8TB iSCSI server that also acts as my RHEV server. While technically not part of my vCloud environment, I use an Iomega ix2-200 as my tertiary storage for ISOs used within my vCloud environment.
