Can anyone tell me how I can turn RAID off on a DL380-G5.  I just want the disks connected directly without any RAID as I want to use this to test Microsoft's software RAID.  Can't seem to find anything in the BIOS to do this.
I'm planning to use ZFS on my system (HP ML370 G5, Smart Array P400, 8 SAS disk). I want ZFS to manage all disks individually, so it can utilize better scheduling (i.e. I want to use software RAID feature in ZFS).  The problem is, I can't find a way to disable RAID feature on the RAID controller. Right now, the controller aggregates all of the disks into one big RAID-5 volume. So ZFS can't see individual disk.  Is there any way to acomplish this setup?
So I've started playing Gathering Storm, built a bunch of coal plants and now Global Warming is out of control mainly because of me. I've been trying to remove these power plants, but I haven't found any option to sell/destroy or even replace these buildings.  Is there seriously no way to do this? Print on terminal and into file simultaneously? Why does this identity hold for Fejér Kernels? I recently received this rather amusing message while reviewing a user's first post:  Congratulations! This was only a test, designed to make sure you were paying attention. This post has already been removed, but thanks for taking time to leave feedback for the author.   What is the purpose of this test? How does the audit work? What happens if I fail? Why was the system expecting me to negatively review a good post, or positively review a bad post? A review is obviously an audit. Should I report it? Do review audits count toward the Reviewer badge? Do robo-reviewers dream of electric sheep? Variation on Vandermonde's identity How can you show that $$ \binom{2n}{n}^2 = \sum_{m=0}^{n} \binom{2n}{2m} \binom{2m}m \binom{2n-2m}{n-m} $$?  I was fooling around with random walks, and apparently both expressions are supposed to be the number of unweighted random walks on a 2D square lattice of $2n$ steps that ends at the origin.  Whole thing reminds me of Vandermonde's identity but I can't it. Any hints? A friend recently got her ID stolen while she was in the Netherlands. She will soon need to fly to her home country Italy, but she doesn't know what to do.  What can one do in such a situation? As far as I know, since it's Schengen, you don't need an ID card to go through borders. On the other hand, this is air travel, so they always require it for security reasons.   Can she show another document that proves her nationality? A copy of the ID card? Anything? How can I prove that $$\displaystyle x-\frac {x^2} 2 &lt; \ln(1+x)$$ for any $x&gt;0$  I think it's somehow related to Taylor expansion of natural logarithm, when:  $$\displaystyle \ln(1+x)=\color{red}{x-\frac {x^2}2}+\frac {x^3}3 -\cdots$$  Can you please show me how? Thanks. Natbib In-Text Citation displays (author?) how to prove the chain rule? I have just learnt about the chain rule but my book doesn't mention a proof on it. I tried to write a proof myself but can't write it. So can someone please tell me about the proof for the chain rule in elementary terms because I have just started learning calculus. "Looking forward to hearing from you" - May I omit "I am" at the beginning? At the end of a letter, is it correct to omit "I am" in this sentence?     I am looking forward to hearing from you   Then it will become:     Looking forward to hearing from you Can a Byte[] Array be written to a file in C#? NSString instance reports its class as NSCFString My objective here is really simple -- I'm trying to set an NSString to some test data, then return the class, which should be NSString. Here's my code:  NSString* stringer = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Test"]; NSLog(@"%@", [stringer class]);   The log says that the class is NSCFString, not NSString. What's going on here? "Not possible" and "Impossible" When we say,      It is not fair.   or     It is unfair.   I'm not sure enough to say whether both of the sentences have the same meaning or not though superficially, there is no difference between them but if we say,     Something is not possible.   or     Something is impossible.   then there is really an observable difference in my first language. Hence, the question - is there a difference between the preceding two sentences in English? If perimeter of a triangle is $2d$, what is the length of sides so the triangle has maximal area?    I found some solution using circle and angles, but I think I have to use derivatives.    I need help. Different ways to execute a shell script There are several ways to execute a script. The ones I know are: /path/to/script # using the path (absolute or relative) . script        # using the . (dot) source script   # using the `source` command  Are there any other way? What are the differences between them? Are there situations that I must use one and not another? Functions which are Continuous, but not Bicontinuous What are some examples of functions which are continuous, but whose inverse is not continuous?  nb: I changed the question after a few comments, so some of the below no longer make sense. Sorry. Can I install any iOS version I wish by picking and choosing which firmware to restore? I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a Dell XPS 13 (9350). The laptop came with Windows 10 pre-installed. I am installing from a pendrive but I think the issue would be the same if I used e.g. a USB DVD drive.   Dude, where's my hard drive?  I am blocked because the installation program cannot find 8.6Gb of free space on my hard drive despite the fact that there are hundreds of Gb free according to Windows. Digging a bit into the problem, it seems that Ubuntu cannot see my hard disk at all.

What are the correct settings for min-memory and max-memory in this use case?  The server has 8GB ram, dual Intel Xeon processors, running Windows Server 2008 R2 / Sql Server 2008 Standard Edition. It's running several databases ranging from 30GB - 5GB in size.  Originally the memory usage was set to the default settings (min=0 max=2,147,483,647). On these settings most of the memory usage was taken up by sqlservr.exe and the server would eventually need to be restarted every day or two. It would run normally at first but within a day start to timeout on simple operations like looking up a record using the primary key.   I have changed min=4,096 and max=6,144. This results in only 1.4GB memory usage. However now all four cpus are running at 50-60% cpu usage constantly. Tasks are taking roughly 1/3rd longer to execute, although the server is much more stable.
