Where is Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller driver for Microsoft Windows 8?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 02:09:38 GMT

I seached within Intel Support and what I got were Intel USB 3.0 Extensible Host Controller drivers for MICROSOFT WINDOWS 7.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=intel%20usb%203.0%20extensible%20host%20controller

Microsoft Windows 8 was released yesterday, October 26 and where is the compatible driver for it?

Could an Intel technical support representative feedback to technical support about this problem?

Whats the chances of Intel developing a Motherboard with a high speed keyboard controler and run XP and win98 or dos?

webadmin@intel.com — Sat, 18 May 2013 11:57:55 GMT

I do understand that the keyboard input on a normal PC will never see keystroke rates like im feeding in.

I have a computer to tell another computer what to do.

One task it does is generate OpenSSL certificates automatically, this saves me lots of time or the learning experience to try and write a batch file, I just feed the computer with all the variables from text files that can be edited very easy.

I currently output about 130 keystrokes a second to an Intel P4 HT desktop board. Still manage to grind the system to a halt even with a 600 000 key stroke buffer some times. it does depend on how long the command prompt is busy for.

My program in Quick BASIC is running on a P2 233 is capable of doing about 800 keys/Second thats about a 50 khz clock signal but if I had a faster pc on the program I guess the clock frequency might be as in the range of 150 khz or higher . The burst frequency is of importance but more interested in the thru put.

Just in-case anyone says its not possible to do over 4000 WPM on a P4 I uploaded an image of a personal best record that took over 5 hours of careful tuning of the 2 PC's to achieve.

The web site now has a built in delay to only go so fast cause my program finishes way before the cursor does.

Intel RST driver 12.6.0.1033 not saving cache mode

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 21:23:34 GMT

I've tested this with version 12.5.0.1066 and the latest 12.6.0.1033 for windows 8, the system has the express chipset

when I restart my system, the RAID array performance settings are reverting back to a default mode with:

- write-cache buffer flushing: enabled

- cache mode: none

when I have set the system for:

- write-cache buffer flushing: disabled

- cache mode: write back

after rebooting the system defaults (as noted above), I have to open the RST application, disabled flushing and re-enabled the cache mode... otherwise performance is terrible...

is there a workaround to this, or something in the registry that needs to be cleared or modified?

thanks!

Rebuild RAID Sophie's Choice?

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 16 May 2013 20:39:23 GMT

Ok, so this is probably a fairly simple question.. And forgive me as I'm a little new to this. Basically we have a server utilizing an Intel RAID controller on the motherboard. We're managing this through the OS using Intel Rapid Storage 9.6. We got a message that our RAID was degraded. This was setup before my time, but it appears to be a RAID with 2 volumes - 1, 164GB volume and 1, 3652GB volume. So we identified and replaced the bad drive and now want to rebuild.. but it gives us a choice as to which volume to repair - and when we choose one, it gives a warning that if we rebuild this one, the other one will be permanently inaccessible. Obviously we don't want to lose data on either volume.. and I'm thinking that we're just reading this statement wrong.. but I'd feel more comfortable with some clarification as to what this message means and what do do in this situation. See picture attached...

Thanks!

Need to increase the disk space

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 10 May 2013 18:48:36 GMT

Newbie here working on a Intel Modular Server, Model MFSYS25V2, whatever help I can get would be greatly appreciated and if I need to post in a
different community please let me know. Thanks.

I have a couple of questions, please bear with me.

1 ----- When Looking at the front chassis (web browser or physical unit)

We have 8 hard drives on the left side of the unit (one extra for hot swap and another one I am assuming it is an unformatted spare, in the Modular Server Control it says "Predictive Failure (PFA). All HD’s are 278GB

We have 2 server units in the middle of the of Model MFSYS25V2 as a Raid 5

SRVBT1 and SRVBT2 both are: 4.00 GB Raid 5, one says Server 1 Drive 0 the other says Server 2 Drive 0

Then there are 2 LUN’s they both say: 700.GB Raid 5, Assigned to….. (Not sure to what)

I am not understanding how SRVBT1, SRVBT2, LUN1, LUN2 and the 8 hard drive interact.

If someone could please give me a layman’s explanation, I would greatly appreciate it!

I guess I should explain how we are using the MFSYS25V2

We have 6 - Window 2003 Servers and one Windows XP installed using VMWARE VSphere (Newbie to this as well).

What we have for servers ---- 2 DC’s, 1 each of FS, Backup, data and app.

2 ----- A consulting company installed MFSYS25V2 a couple of years ago way before my time, the data server has 6 virtual drives ranging in different disk sizes. I need to increase one of the virtual drive space if possible. Right now it has 60 GB and we need to increase it to at least 120 GB (60 GB more). Can I take the HD that says PFA (see above), format it, add it to the” storage pool” and possibly increase the virtual drive that needs to be increased by 60GB and leave the rest unallocated??????

If not, can you suggest what I can do? I know that I cannot go out and buy all new
larger HDs and replace one larger HD with one of the smaller one and let the
RAID 5 rebuild….if I do that only the amount of the smaller HD will be formatted
on the larger HD and the rest of the HD will be wasted.

I again appreciate any help I can get.

If I need to post this somewhere else please let me know.

If you need any more information please let me know, I will answer as soon as I can.

thanks,

Robin

Beep code on new board, processor and memory installation.

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:14:25 GMT

I had to replace the board and processor in my existing Windows SBS server. I combined an S1200BTLR board with a E3-1220 processor and 8Gb (2x4Gb 1333 ECC 240 UDIMM) memory. At boot up I get the following beep sounds combination: 2-1-1-2 Does anyone know what kind of error issue I am experiencing here?

Intel SRCSASRB Raid controler managing software on Ubuntu server

webadmin@intel.com — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 08:44:07 GMT

First: I know that Ubuntu is not officially supported, but my questions are not Ubuntu specific.

I currently try to install the Raid Web Console 2 software on an Ubuntu server for remote administration.

My Steps was:

convert the "RAID_Web_Console_2-3.04-05.noarch.rpm" to "raid-web-console-2_3.04-6_all.deb" with alien (>sudo alien --scripts RAID_Web_Console_2-3.04-05.noarch.rpm)

installed libstdc++6 from the ubuntu repositories

installed the "raid-web-console-2_3.04-6_all.deb" file

This works fine, but now I have some problems.

For remote managing two daemons must be started:

/etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd start

/etc/init.d/mrmonitord start

First I have modified /etc/init.d/vivaldiframeworkd (changed directory of the jre and modiefied the for loop syntax)

/usr/local/RAID0 Web Console 2/Framework/startup.sh changed directory of the jre)

/usr/local/RAID0 Web Console 2/Framework/shutdown.sh changed directory of the jre)

After that "vivaldiframeworkd" seems to work. Don't know how to test it, but "ps aux" gives me:

root 28446 0.0 0.0 3944 568 pts/0 S 10:18 0:00 sh /usr/local/RAID Web Console 2/Framework/startup.sh
root 28448 2.8 0.8 2316520 70808 pts/0 Sl 10:18 0:01 /usr/bin/java -classpath ../jre/lib/rt.jar:../jre/lib/jsse.jar:../jre/lib/jce.jar -Djava.library.path=. -jar Framework.jar

I think it works

Next is "/etc/init.d/mrmonitord start". Here is my main Problem. The startscript writes an error:

> cat /var/log/mrmonitord.debug

> /etc/init.d/mrmonitor: 49: /usr/local/bin/mrmonitord: not found

If I start "/usr/local/bin/mrmonitor" directly I get:

> /usr/local/bin/mrmonitord
> -bash: ./mrmonitord: No such file or directory

> ls -alhs /usr/local/bin/

> 4,0K drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4,0K 2009-09-28 16:59 .
> 4,0K drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4,0K 2009-09-28 16:59 ..
> 1,3M -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1,3M 2009-05-14 11:34 mrmonitord

Can anyone say me what this message means? mrmonitord is there (ls confirms this).

I don't understand why there is an "No such file or directory" error. Does mrmonitor open an File which is not on the right place?

Thanks for help in previous

Cannot enable SRT after reinstalling system

webadmin@intel.com — Sun, 12 May 2013 06:44:41 GMT

Hello,

I have got in front of me a computer whose behaviour regarding Intel Smart Response Technology puzzles me to no end. The machine in question, a Lenovo IdeaPad U410 (500 GB HDD + 24 GB SSD) running Windows 7 x64, is a few months old and has already had SRT successfully running on it. Howewer, a couple of weeks ago it got hit by some nasty malware and in the end I was asked to reinstall everything from scratch. I wiped both the SSD and the HDD, re-created the required partitions on the hard drive (200 MB EFI system, 128 MB Microsoft Reserved, everything that's left covered by a single NTFS partition; all of this using GPT), re-installed Windows 7 x64 (with Intel Rapid Storage drivers, exactly the same as during the first installation on that computer, read from a USB stick so that Windows installer could see the drives with the controller set to RAID mode), installed the whole Rapid Storage package... and now the option to enable acceleration is no longer there. No errors or warnings of any sort. it's just not there any more. What gives? The only difference in configuration is that earlier on the Windows partition ended 40 GB before the end of the HDD, with the remaining space left unallocated, to leave room for a possible Linux installation.

I've looked around on the Web and unfortunately have found no information that would help me. Having re-installed RST drivers - several times - has achieved nothing and besides, it seems most problems with SRT people complain about pertain to first-time installation, whereas as I have already mentioned above this laptop has already had SRT acceleration enabled on it.

Anyway, I would very much appreciate some suggestions regarding what else I could try to get acceleration running again. I have run our of ideas and unfortunately, the RST tool provided by the driver has given me no hints regarding why it doesn't let me switch SRT on.win

No option for Enabling Acceleration In Intel Rapid Storage Technology

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:26:59 GMT

Hello EveryOne,

I had to disable Acceleration in Intel Rapid Storage Technology to Change SATA Mode to AHCI inorder to boot RedHat alongside Windows as Linux installation is not supported in mSATA operating mode.

After the successful installation I switched back the SATA mode to Intel Smart Response Technology. I opened up the IRST but there was no option for enabling the acceleration for caching. Here is a screenshot of the program:

I messed up everything. Please help me enabling the acceleration back.

Here is the detailed system info:

How to configure VLAN Id in Windows 7 Pro?

webadmin@intel.com — Fri, 10 May 2013 07:15:03 GMT

I have an Intel 82566DM-2 Gigabit NIC in a HP desktop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.

How do I configure a LAN configuration to have a specific VLAN id? Is there any utility available/needed?

Thanks.
