Cabling for 3rd Party RAID Card

OK, the drives on the Mac Pro plug into the motherboard. And the Mac Pro Raid card seems to access the drives through the motherboard:
"A new cableless connection and intuitive Apple software make it a snap to install this optional card."
So my question is, what if I want to use an Adaptec or other RAID card that has a series of internal SATA connectors along the top of the card? Can this card be used? How do I connect the drives? Are there plugs somewhere on the motherboard to get to the internal drives?
Or I am stuck with the $700 Mac Pro RAID card?

We use the areca raid card to connect to the internal drives. This is only one example of why Mac are worth the extra %25. On the very left hand side of the mother board is a Sata 8087 connector. I f you buy a raid card like the Areca and a extender, you can plug the four internal drive bays directly onto the connector of the Areca. We went a step further and added four more 1.5 TB drives to the optical drive bay and connect those to the second port of the Areca card. As we needed two times 4 drives for our solution, we have the boot drive connected to one of the spare sata connectors on the mother board.

3rd Party RAID Card options - must make a decision

I've been on the Mac with NLE for high end corporate work since early 90's but only now moving from a 10 bit uncompressed SD edit suite to FCP and I need your valued feedback for a Mac Pro arriving soon. I've spent hours poring over all forums, Apple and otherwise, to select the right raid solution. The situation is that we will edit NTSC into 2009 and make the transition to HD later in the year. So, the initial set-up will be three 1 TB Seagate 7200.11's with a 320GB for O/S (and perhaps more in optical bay for scratch, etc.) I prefer to install the three video drives internally and go with a hardware driven card (Raid 5) that also provides support for external drives if we add later. Caldigit's is the only card that appears to cover all the misc. requirements but the forums list issues with 3rd party storage vs Caldigit's box. Other cards have pros and cons so I'm asking you to tell me what is working in your shop and also whether I should just purchase a 3rd party external enclosure and set up the Seagates there. If so, card recommendation is also critical.

Hi,
I find installing a RAID 5 inside the Mac Pro has too many limitations. I would rather keep the boot drive in its own internal bay and be able to mount a boot camp disk or other backup disks internally when needed.
A better solution for most users is to mount the RAID 5 externally. The FirmTek SeriTek/5PM enclosure and the HighPoint RocketRAID 2314 combination provides a high quality external RAID 5 solution that is quiet, fast and dependable. You can learn more about it here:
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/firmtek/5pm/
http://www.firmtek.com/seritek/seritek-5pm/
http://www.amug.org/amug-web/html/amug/reviews/articles/highpoint/2314/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NAXGIU/arizomacinusergr
There are other solutions that work well too. However, the controllers tend to be much more expensive. RAID 5 users looking for a quality solution at a very reasonable price will find the SeriTek/5PM and RR2314 combination works well.
If you don't mind paying more the Areca ARC-1680ix-12 SAS controller reviewed by AMUG is another high performance option that works well with SATA direct connect enclosures. You can read more about it here:

How to upgrade driver/firmware for 3rd party airport card?

I have a Motorola WPCI810g wireless card that i have been using for over a year. Previously in Panther i tried to upgrade to Airport 4.2 to take advantage of WPA, but i ended up having to downgrade back to 4.1 because 4.2 left airport nonoperational. I have been on Tiger for quite a while and only recently noticed that i was automatically upgraded to Airport 4.2, however I do not have WPA as an encryption option (neither when joining, or creating a network). I can only assume it has to do with the firmware on the card but I cant figure out how to update it. I have tried to search these threads but the closest i can come is using Airport Admin Utility to upgrade the firmware on a base station.
About Airport is such:
Airport
427.1.1
Component Versions:
Airport Menu Extra: 427.1.1
Airport Framework: 429.6.0
Airport Extreme Driver: 405.1.0
Airport Admin Utility: 420.5.0
Airport Setup Assistant: 420.6.0
Powermac G3 Rev2 B&W 400mhz, iBook G4 14" 1.33mhz Mac OS X (10.4.9) Pioneer DVR-109, Moto WPCI810G, Nano (1G) 4gb Black

yup, and this is what it says:
AirPort Card Information:
Wireless Card Type: AirPort Extreme
Wireless Card Locale: USA
Wireless Card Firmware Version: 405.1 (3.90.34.0.p18)
Current Wireless Network: wireless network not available
in addition, I found that I can choose WPA as an encryption if i select 'other' as the network. What I would really like to do is create a network with WPA, since i use this desktop to connect my ibook to the internet. so far nothing...

Recommendations for 3rd party internal RAID

I have an octo 2.26GHz mac pro.
Interested to hear from anyone who has purchased a 3rd party RAID controller which would satisfy my reqs:
support OS X & Windows -- doesnt need to be at the same time -- so long as I can restripe that's ok.
OS X needs to be SL.
Windows needs to be Server 2008
Onboard cache preferred.
Internal SATA connectors required (i.e. not SAS)
Must support AHCI, NCQ
Must not require BIOS for setup (since the mac doesn't have a BIOS).
Any experience RAID 0 with SSD's preferred., e.g. how many & what read/write/latency are you getting.
TIA

Some people have been happy running 2008 in Fusion, even multiple VMs.
Unless you really need hardware RAID5, you can have and use 5 internal drives, and there are some fine external RAID controllers.
Take a look at the multitude of reviews on AMUG.com

Third party RAID card. . .

Greetings. 3 questions (with by-questions added).
1. I have "read" that you can't use third-party RAID cards with apple HDD or Apple RAID with third-party HDD because of formatting from Apple. Is this true?
a) I've also "read" that there aren't any third-party RAID cards available for the "new" 2009> Mac Pros. Is this true
b) If question 'a' is false and it IS possible to install or "adapt" a third-party RAID card to the Pro, how would one go about it?
2. If I kept the OS running off of the 640GB HDD from apple, would I have to also add ONLY apple HDD?
3. Is it true that software RAID can only do RAID0 and 1? I'm planning on adding 2x 500GB drives for my video editing needs, which should be plenty to start out with; the answer to the question will help allow me to plan for when I should start saving for a RAID card.
Of course, I plan on playing and exploring the "RAID world" before actually working with it, but these questions still needed answering.
Thanks. Links are welcome if they help me understand your answers to my questions!

If you only want a Video editing striped RAID pair and a System drive:
a) You do not need the frighteningly expensive RAID card with its 72-hour backup battery.
b) Apple software RAID (built into Disk Utility) is perfectly adequate for most uses. There is other software you can buy, and it also works just fine.
c) You can use whatever SATA drives please you, but "Green" drives are for economy, not performance.
d) You do not need to keep that 640GB as your System Drive. You can replace it with a smaller drive and use the 640GB as half the RAID, if you wish.

3rd party capture cards

I just got a new Blackmagic Design Intensity Pro to use with FCE, but it appears that FCE doesn't support any 3rd party capture cards.... or am I just not looking in the right place ?

You're correct. FCE does not support third party capture cards. You need FCP for that.

ATP for 'Stock in transit' for 3rd Party scenario

We have a scenario:
For warehouse replenishments an STO is created and then a delivery is subsequently created for the STO. Once the delivery has been shipped out of the manufacturing facility (post goods issued) the materials on the delivery are transferred from unrestricted-stock at the manufacturing facility to stock-in-transit at the receiving warehouse. Once the stock is in transit to the third-party warehouses, ATP should then take it into consideration when deliveries are created from the third-party warehouses to customers.
Now how to take the ATP check for 3rd party del. into consideration for STO?
STO document type is UD
Goods issue movement type is 641
Goods receipt movement type is 101

Some useful info here..

BRFPlus - license with NW fundation for 3rd party - SAP PO applies ?

Hi,
I got the impression that in order to use BRFPlus we need to have SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party,
does anyone know, if we have SAP PO (process orchestration) which has a restricted SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party
(to be used only with BPM, PI and BRM), can we use BRFPlus from PI ?
Thank you for any comments,
Regards,
Michal Krawczyk

Hi Michal,
no idea about the licensing question, but I think you need an additional license due to the Java stack, but this has to be answered by an expert of SAP.
Concerning the usage of BRFplus from PI: The only way I know to use the BRFplus functions from PI is via webservices generated out of the functions.
The other way round is a little more comfortable as you can use the BRMS Connector expression.

Procedure for 3rd Party

Dear Experts,
We have some 3rd party vendor from where we purchase FG. And the transaction is like that we give PO to 3rd party. They pack the material as per our BOM provide in mail. Then they supply the material at our stock point and our stock point do the GRN. but in this case we are unable to track the BOM of some products as no production order or SAP activity is done at third end. So kindly confirm me how we should maintain the BOM for 3rd party without plant code generation,
Or else suggest me how to do this transaction in the best way so that at any time we can be able to trace that so as so batches was packed in so and so packing material.
Regards,
Phalgun Patel

Phalgun,
It is unclear to me why you need to 'plan' a BOM for the Vendor. In standard 3rd party processing, all you do is place a PO with the vendor, and the Vendor delivers the product directly to your customer. Batch numbers used are created by the vendor, according to the terms of your contract. You are unconcerned how he internally plans his order, and he never actually sends his output to you. He is solely responsible for procuring any RM or services required to fill your PO, and for fulfilling any batching and traceability requirements contained in the contract. Any Doc you send to him about BOM is not for you to use for planning purposes, it is part of the contract specifications.
So, can you be a little more specific exactly why the vendor is delivering material to you, and why you need a BOM.
Best Regards,
DB49

Code Signing for 3rd Party DLLs in MPR certfication

Dear Team,
I am currently performing MPR test with my Web Application using Windows Server 2012 R2 platform.
While verifiying test results, i got failed in the validating digital signature for 3rd party binaries(DLL).
The DLLs are Ajaxcontroltoolkit.dll, interop.Excel.dll etc.,
Whether Signed DLLs are exists for Ajax Libraries?? If Signed DLLs exists for Ajax Libraries, is it advisable to request Microsoft support team for getting Signed DLL through mail? (or)
Can i include this point as a waiver in document during test results submission??
Regarding Interop DLL's is it advisable to include DLL's in waiver request document??
Kindly review and suggest comments

Hello,
When an MPR Test fails due only to 3rd party binaries, please create a Test Results Package, upload to MPR site, complete and send a waiver for review.
List all failing binaries in the waiver, grouping by their respective owner.
Thank you,

2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background
5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO
7. Goods receipt MIGO
8. Goods issue
9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

End to End Monitoring confiuguration for 3rd party systems

Hi,
I have been trying to racking up materials for end-end configurations for 3rd party systems and can't find any..All the ABAP systems are perfectly configured in our End-End Monitoring system but can't find any of the third party systems..Is there a seperate method to configure 3rd party systems?
-Teresa

Hi Teresa,
You can't include 'Third Party' systems in end-to-end monitoring. We had raised a SAP note for the same and below is SAP response..
"End-to-end monitoring stands for the functionality included as of 6.40 that enables you to track XI messages accross several systems. This functionality can be configured for all components that are able
to contribute information to this process monitoring, i.e. only SAP systems can be configuered."
Also check this from online help..
"The Runtime Workbench receives the data for end-to-end monitoring from the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI), which is an SAP monitoring tool for monitoring end-to-end technical processes involving multiple SAP components."

Moving average update for 3rd Party sales order

Hello All,
We have configured a 3rd party sales order process. The schedule line category is configured with account assignment categoory as "M". when we are creating GR the Moving average price of the material is not getting updated.
But if i replace with "E" it is getting updated, but the CO-PA is not getting generated for Profitability segment reporting.--we need profitability segment reportng.
Can some one tell me how we can update the moving average price using acc. asssignment category type "M" at the same time the Profitability segement information is updated.
THanks in advance
Appreciate your help
Arpita Rani

Hello Arpita
For 3rd party orders functionality you need to use account assignment category of X and not M. E and M are for individual Purchase orders. You should not use them for 3rd party.
Please see the following OSS notes and follow along:
210997 - Accnt assignment categories in third-party and indiv.PO

iii. The information about Early Watch Alerts (or situations to watch for)
2)
Is there a full SNMP interface for getting the above information from SAP Solution Manager?

Is that understanding that SAP has SNMP support for forwarding alerts to a 3rd party system, correct?
4)
Does SAP has both free and licensed? If yes then what are the advantages of licensed over the open/free version?
