Clean Install & RAID Parity Initialisation Happening

[ITGURU]

I have just clean installed Server 2016 on a fully working HP server on 2012 R2.

 

For some reason after installing the OS and installing the HP Array management software the data drive is showing 1.49gb free of 1.50gb

However, when accessing the data drive, all the files/folders seem to be there and if right click on a folder > properties > it seems to show the correct amount of data. The array size was 276gb.

 

Within the HP storage config utility it shows Logical Drive 2 is undergoing parity initialization

 

Anyone know why it should do this, have never come across it before, if i try and copy a file to the drive larger than 2gb it says I don't have enough room.

 

Should normal drive access restore once initialisation is finished?

You haven't set any quotas by any chance have you??

 

What model HP server is it and what RAID hardware??

Thank you! Yes that was it - didn't even occur to me seeing the 2GB limit. However in quota management it wasnt showing administrator with any Quotas. Have disabled and then will re-enable quotas.

 

It may be because I backed up the registry shares before the install and then restored? However not sure why it made Administrator with a quota!

 

Thanks again - will now let parity initialisation complete hopefully at some point as still shows as running this morning.

As soon as I re-enable quotas it's still changing it back to 2gb for administrator despite being set to no limit.. any ideas?

I had to change the domain admins entry also as that was restricted.

No Problem :-), jus seemed a bit weird but having normally set 2GB up for quota's seemed about right.
