So I booted from the dell OMSA Livecd, & the good news is that OM shows the raid online, CentOs see's the drives, but I cannot mount them , can't even mount the external for that matter (but that's a linux issue i'm sure) as it says exit code 32 unknown filesystem type "NTFS"
I called dell but they said I had to wait till Monday to speak to a tech. Ideally I would like to attempt a repair on the OS, as i don't want to move 3 tb back and fourth, nor do I want to pull that down over the wire. It looks like I may be the first one to BITE the new MS 499.00 bullet :( From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [NTSysADM] windows 2012 stuck in repair loop Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 19:23:15 -0500 Oh wait , it appears I can get to the command promt , but I dont have the local admin password ( I normally login to the host with my domain accout) There is someone that has it who I can get it from in the morning. On a seperate note, is a "startup repair" run from the installation disc, any different than the built in one I get from my "choose an option"? Should I insert the boot disc and try to repair from there? > Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2015 15:13:01 -0800 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] windows 2012 stuck in repair loop > > So you can't get even to the command line? > > (no command line, so... how's your backup on that parent or did you park > out a copy of the hyperV xml files?
