10.6.8 Server w/ 10.9.2 clients "Backup disk is already in use" error

I have an Xserve running 10.6.8 serving as a Time Machine destination for the office. All of the clients are running newer OSes, mostly 10.9.2. Since the 10.9.2 update, my clients frequently receive the "Backup disk is already in use" error when they attempt to backup. Looking at Server Admin, I can see that clients reporting the error have an idled AFP session. Disconnecting the session in Server Admin will fix the issue for a day or two. I've tried using the "disconnect idle users after x interval" option for AFP with no luck. Has anyone else been experiencing this issue?

I am also having the same issue! If I kill off the disabled/sleep connection, backups work.

Time Machine backups to OS X Server 10.8 fail with "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" Error

Connecting about 100 Macs running Mavericks and about half of them are getting "The backup disk image "Volumes/Backup6/macname.sparsebundle" is already in use" error.

This was happening with our 10.8 environment and when we migrated to Mavericks, I rebuilt the OS X MacMini Server. Seems worse now with 10.9
Most discussions advise in restarting TimeCapsule or network device. However restarting OS X Server everyday is not a solution. Any advice in resolving this issue is appreciated.
Thanks! Corbin

I also had to restart the server and client after applying the "fix" I described above. Basically, no user should have multiple, simultaneous file sharing sessions on the server. But even clearing the user sessions does not resolve the problem beyond the next Time Machine backup, so I also tried disabling and enabling file sharing, but the problem also returns after doing this. Only restarting both the client and server after clearing the sessions has worked for me when I have this problem. The problem may return much later, but this work aroudn definitely works as a temporary solution.
Next time I encounter this problem I will try restarting just the server or just the client, because it is unlikely that the problem exists due to something on both systems. Server 3.x is definitely not as stable as it should be, but for my use, it is getting the job done.

OS X Server - Client Backups After Upgrade

My OS X Server 10.6.8, client backup disks for Time Machine are not available under OS X Server 10.8. I can't find where to set up Time Machine for the OS X clients. Any help or suggestions are welcome.

I'm not very familiar with the server product.
But I understand that you cannot back up a client to an exernal HD connected to the server; only to an internal volume there.

Lion Server Time Machine with Lion Client

I have had a Lion Server running for a couple of months with no problem acting as a repository for Time Machine Backups from 4 Snow Leopard Clients. I have two external USB hard drives partioned for each user's Time Machine.
Today I upgraded the clients to Lion, and now Time Machine on all of the clients cannot see the partioned disks on the Lion Server. Therefore, I have no disk to select for the client's destination.
The Lion Server is updated to most recent and at 10.7.2. The File Sharing switch is on and nothing has been changed as for as permissions or security on the external disks. The external disks show up in the Finder and can see contents and info in them. They also show up as share points on the Server App.
The clients are now also Lion and updated to the most recent.
Seems pretty basic, don't know what else to do.

Finally figured it out on my own 2 weeks later.
You have to open the Lion Server app and then turn on Time Machine on the server.
It will then ask what disk you want to use, which in my case was an external 2tb USB.
My confusion was that this is not they way you had to do it on Snow Leopard Server.
On SLS, I never used Time Machine, but had to partition my external disk individually for each user. e.g. 2tb disk was partioned into 4 separate volumes. This was necessary to keep one user's Time Machine backup from taking up the whole disk and not leaving room for the other users.
You then setup these partitions as Time Machine Sharepoint which would then show up as a choice on the users machine under Time Machine preferences, select disks.
Therefore, under SLS, a user could select from any number of partions to backup to on the server. On Lion Server, it appears you do not have a choice and can only backup to the one disk you selected on the Server App.
At the risk of carrying on a conversation with myself online, my concern is now about limiting the size of the individual user's sparse bundle to again keep one user from taking up the entire disk for their Time Machine. I guess that is another fight for another day.

Two-Way SSL does not work until "Use Server Certs" is selected on client

We have a web service application and a client application. Both applications are deployed in WebLogic 10.3. The web service application is secured by Two-Way SSL. When the client attempts to access the service, we got the following error logs on the server side:
<Dec 8, 2009 3:25:42 PM EST> <Warning> <Security> <BEA-090508> <Certificate chain received from ... was incomplete.>
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: certPathValStype = 0
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: validateErr = 4
CertPathTrustManagerUtils.certificateCallback: returning false because of built-in SSL validation errors
We got the same error even if the WebLogic 10.3 domain on the client side uses the same identity and trust keystores as the server side.
The problem was solved when we selected Environment -> Servers -> <server> -> SSL, expanded "Advanced" and selected "Use Server Certs". Could anyone tell me what "Use Server Certs" does to make the difference?
Another question is how we can invoke this web service in a Java application since "Use Server Certs" solution only works for web application deployed in weblogic.

"Use Server Certs" means that a client application running within Weblogic will use the WL managed server's identity certificate as its client certificate. Otherwise, the client application is responsible for selecting the keystore, and presenting the certificate as part of the handshake.
This is a great feature in 9 & 10; client SSL was much more difficult in WL 8.
If you are using a standalone client application to invoke anything over 2-way SSL, you are responsible for presenting the certificate. For instance, if you invoke the page from your browser, your browser can maintain client certificates and you'll get a popup to select which cert to use.

Issue with opening a site in SharePoint Designer 2010 -The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.

I have a SharePoint site which I am trying to open in SPD 2010, I am getting the following error(some of my team members are able to open)
The version of SharePoint foundation running on the server is more recent than the version of SPD you are using, you need a more recent version of SPD.
These are the ways I tried
1) Earlier I have MS office 32 bit and SPD 32 bit, I uninstalled them and installed both 64 bit versions
2) I uninstalled restarted my machine and installed it again still no use.
3) I installed SPD 2010 Service Pack 2 of 64 bit
4) I uninstalled the SPD 2010 and opened the site—site actions—edit page in SPD , then it asked me to install SPD 2010, then I installed and tried to open the same site, again same error.
How to solve this issue?
I checked permissions also at that site level – I have full control like others. I don’t have access to Central Admin so where else I can check the permission settings?

Please update us SharePoint version

How can I display the front panel of the dinamically loaded VI on the cliente computer, the VI dinamically loaded contains files, I want to see the files that the server machine has, in the client machine

I can successfully view and control a VI remotly. However, the remote VI dinamically loads another VI, this VI loaded dinamically is a VI that allows open others VIs, I want to see the files that contains the server machine, in the client machine, but the front panel of the dinamic VI appears only on the server and not on the client, How can I display the fron panel with the files of the server machine of the dinamically loaded VI on the client computer?

I down loaded your files but could use some instructions on what needs run.
It seems that you are so close yet so far. You need to get the data on the server machine over to the client. I generally do this by doing a call by reference (on the client machine) of a VI that is served by the server. THe VI that executes on the server should pass the data you want to diplay via one of its output terminals. You can simply wire from this terminal (back on the client again) to an indicator of your choosing.
Now theorectically, I do not think that there is anything that prevents use from getting the control refnum of the actual indicator (on the server) of the indicator that has the data, and read its "Value" using a property node. I have never tried this idea but it seems t
hat all of the parts are there. You will need to know the name of the VI that holds the data as well as the indicator's name. You will also have to serve all VI's. This is not a good idea.

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end

How to open a file created at the server through form/report at client end
Dear Sir/Madame,
I am creating a exception report at the server-end using utl file utility. I want to display this report at the client end. A user doesn't have any access to server. Will u please write me the solution and oblige me.
Thanks
Rajesh Jain

One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.
Cheers, APC

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

Error updating data source from SQL Server ODBC into SQL Native Client 10.0

I am converting Crystal 8.5 reports into Crystal XI release 2. The data source was ODBC using SQL Server 2000 and pointing to a stored procedure. In the new server the data source has to be ODBC again, but it uses the SQL Native Client 10.0 Driver, because the new server is SQL Server 2008. I have copied the same old stored procedure on the new server and it works fine as a data source to a brand new Crystal XI report. But when I am opening an existing 8.5 version crystal report and updating the data source to the new location I get the error message "Some tables could not be replaced, as no match was found in the new data source".
I thought I could tackle this error by creating a temporary data source using the standard ODBC SQL Driver linked to the SQL 2008 Server instead of the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC. So I first updated the crystal data source to link to this temp ODBC using SQL Driver and it worked fine. But after that, when I try to update the data source to link to the SQL Native Client 10 ODBC, I get the same error again.
So I guess that the problem is not the new server itself, but the switch between SQL Server ODBC and SQL Native Client 10 ODBC.
Does anyone know what's going on with this SQL Native Client 10 in updating crystal report data sources?

CR XI does not support that driver. Try selecting the Native driver or upgrade to CR XI R2 for free and use SP4, 5 and 6 and then FP 6.4 or upgrade to CR 2008 and SP 3 and Fix Pack 3.3
Thank you

Need to change permissions if moving backup disk to Server?

I have a Time Machine backup disk that's been directly connected to a client machine. There is much free space still left on that drive and we're retiring the client. I'd like to move that backup drive to our OS X Server machine and have it backup a few other clients that connect to it.
I understand there's difficulty in directly moving a backup drive to a server and having TM backups continue, incrementally, as usual.
I'm not so interested in accomplishing that as I am making insuring the integrity of future backups. What concerns me the most is that on the old client the drive's owner was jill and after moving it to our server it's owner is jeff (whom happens to be logged into the server right now). BUT, all our shared drives are owned by localadmin as required during the LDAP/Open Directory setup that I can't fully remember right now.
should I change ownership of this drive? Make it a Share Point in Server Admin? If so what happens to that old Backups.packupd folder and it's contents. Could they still be used to recover files from Jill's old account?
Sorry for the confusion...

Just get the new machine? If so, which option did you use to migrate? Is the old machine a PPC and the new one an ICBM (Intel-chip-based Mac)? If a new machine, you might reconsider how you did things, restore the new machine to factory specs, and start over. See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1872713 for starters.

10.6.8 Server: Spotlight stops working for clients after fresh installation and updates

Problem:
On 2013-02-22, I reinstalled my Xserve with fresh 10.6.3 and upgraded it to 10.6.8 OS X Server. Spotlight used to be working perfectly for clients to search over the network but now it is not working. Administrators doing local spotlight search on Xserve server side is searchable. Clients with less privileges searching files across the network to the server will receive null result. Administrators searching files across the network is still working.
I believe it has something to do with the update packages and some security improvement bugs introduced in late 2012 or early 2013.
All my clients Macs are in either 10.7.5 and 10.8.2.
Can anyone confirm this? All my staff members in the company cannot do the spotlight search to the server now!

Hi, maracujana,
the problem can be solved if you allow the permssion of parental folder of your share points to have at least Read Only permission for User and Group:
permission: 644
User: Read&Write
Group: Read Only
Others: Read Only (or No Access)
In my case, it is strange that PCs can still do the search to the Snow Leopard Server by SMB protocol while Mac using AFP cannot even when the parental folder had permission 600. This could be a secure issue in Snow Leopard's SMB1.0 protocol. Note that SMB in Snow Leopard is SMB1.0, which is less secure and hence deprecated after Snow Leopard. From Lion onwards, all OS X uses SMB2.0 and/or SMB X.
Oh, yes, there is one more thing:
you may find your scanner using SMB protocol stopped functioning properly if you use (Mountain) Lion client and (Mountain) Lion server. It boils down to Apple's silent change of SMB protocol from SMB1.0 to SMB2.0. Solution? Use FTP protocol for now. Don't blame Apple too much because Apple had to follow the rules of GPLv3. The SMB issue will go on as Microsoft introduces its own SMB 3.0 protocol in Windows 8 while Apple introduces its SMB verison dubbed SMB X.
Hope this helps.

Server 2008 R2 Strange Network/Client Issues

Hi All
I'm facing some strange things with a fairly recently deployed 2008 R2 DC machine.
It's a Dell R720 (16GB Ram dual socket). The NIC is an Intel X540 10Gb adapter. The network switch is a Netgear XS708E 10Gb 8-port, with 3 Win7 clients connected at 1Gb into the same switch. The server runs AD, DNS, DHCP and file services.
Pretty simple, as it's a processing suite deployed at a remote location.
Network connectivity at the client end can be very patchy with disconnects and slowdowns in the file copy speed between client and server (<1mbs). Sometimes the clients refuse to even connect, and
show no network connection.
I am trying to track down the problem. It's either something in the server eg DNS or a faulty switch. If I plug my laptop into the Netgear switch it connects etc, so I'm not sure that's the problem.
The only other thing I can think of is that I had attempted to multi-home the server, which I subsequently found was not best practice. I have since removed the second adapter, but maybe some detritus
remains in DNS?
I will re-run the DNS config wizard to freshen that up and report back.
Does anyone else have some pointers for me?
TIA

Hi,
“Network connectivity at the client end can be very patchy with disconnects and slowdowns in the file copy speed between client and server (<1mbs).”
Could try test the copy speed between Win7? Personal experience maybe your switch connection rate set up correct, or replace your cable as the crosswire then monitor the status.

I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports

Hi,
I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports. The name of the application we use is called MAMA and this application has access to all the reports on the SQL report server. My email is
[email protected] my cell phone number is 201-888-7952.
Thanks.

Hi Roger,
Based on my understanding, you publish a report on the report server. When you access reports with internal application, the report doesn’t display, right?
In your scenario, since you mentioned you have published the report to report server, please go to report manager, check if you can see the published report and open the report properly. If the published report is displayed on report manager, it should not
be the issue in Reporting Services. In this scenario, since the MAMA application has established connection with on report server, it may not update items on report server after you publish your report onto report server. So please try to “refresh” in MAMA
or reconnect the report server. If issue persists, I suggest you contact the MAMA application vendor to get some more effective advices.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used in vCSHB installation?

How are Windows Server Backup and Command Line Tools used during the installation of vCSHB? Is it required in all types of deployments (PtoV, VtoV, PtoP)? Is it used to create the files that are put in the file share for the second node to use during vCSHB installation or is it only used during a vCSHB clone operation of a Physical to Physical deployment? Are these tools not used in some deployments?

You need Windows Server Backup installed on source and destination, and during the installation of vCSHB the installer will invoke the wbadmin (Windows Server Backup Utility) and will backup configuration and application data (application data is optimal but can decrease the sync time after installation of secondary node). On the secondary node you will need only run the vCSHB installer and everything will be restored.
Check this blog entry for some more info about some problems in P2P deployment: http://www.vcoportal.de/2013/12/vmware-vcenter-server-heartbeat-restore-on-a-second-node-a-journey/
