A few HDD compatibility questions?

Okay so here goes..
Hey, everything in my house is filling up, i need more disk space, so i have a mbp 13" 2009 model, & a imac 2010 (i think)
So, I do a lot of movie editing, thus the reason everything is filling up. I'm going to get one more HDD and probably sell my other one.
Now, at this point, I dont know whether im going to get the hdd for my mpb or imac. It is probably going to my iMac and the 500 gb HDD that comes out of the imac will go in my mbp & the mbp HDD I will most probably sell. So, i have a few questions..
1.Will my macbook pro be compatible with the 500GB HDD out of the iMac?
2.What HDD's are compatible with the iMac?*
3.Do you have to keep to the same RPM in HDD'S as the original HDD was?
4.Does anyone have any suggestions to which HDD I pick for movie editing and an iMac?
*I need a fast one for movie editing, quiet, & really I want it to be 1TB at the lowest price. I googled 1tb sata 5400rpm HDD and I had a look at this..
http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?hl=en&safe=off&client=safari&rls=en&q=5 400+rpm+1tb+sata&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.&biw=1270&bih=640&um=1&ie=UTF-8 &tbm=shop&cid=5711460668069696497&sa=X&ei=yN0fUKKwCqi-0QX97IHIDQ&ved=0CG0Q8wIwAQ #scoring=tps
Now, I had a look at the reviews and one of them said "not fast so not good with movie editing, thats what made me ask on here..
Any more details needed just ask, please reply, no rush.
Cheers,
Chris

cheers mate, actually a BIG help so you can have a BIG hug

A few post config questions on new setup

Hi Group,
Just a few post config questions.
First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server? On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'. I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
Thanks.

The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2. I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI. It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.
config network web-auth secureweb disable
Thanks,

S20 - WD RE4 hdd compatibility and RAID 1

I recently acquired an S20 and am looking to make good use of it. I am planning on using it as my home comp. I am intersted in two things:
HDD compatibility - I am looking into the Western Digital RE series (non green) and wondering if these will work (2Tb each) since the RAID will require TLER (I've always used WD Black - this will be my first RAID setup)
RAID 1 - Is this something setup in BIOS, Lenovo ware, or Win 7 (Pro or Ult). If I do get an adapter what is a good "inexpensive" (read: uesd/older) reliable brand model to use for a Raid 1? (This could also be moved later to a RAID 10 setup on a different project...maybe...)
Okay...three...
RAID 10 - Only with an adapter right? My original intended use of this unit was a home "Server"/"NAS"/'false hope that my data wont disappear" which I planned to use RAID 10...until I did my homework on the unit (3 bays). Would this units PSU be capable of handling this? Even with a controller card am I still limited to <2.2Tb each or can I use up to 4-6Tb drives for this purpose only (only need 2Tb in the home comp scenario)?
I'm not a business, I'm sure this is waaaay out of Warranty, I'm not concerned with anything other than will it work....

welcome to the forum!
RAID 1 is dead simple and can easily be handled by the built-in intel ICH10R controller.   TLER shouldn't be an issue.   i have two 2TB WD RED drives in RAID 1 in my C20 (on ICH10R) and haven't had an error or sync issue in two years.
RAID 10 will be a problem for two reasons.   first, fitting four HDDs inside the S20 will be a mechanical challenge.   even if you could squeeze four inside the chassis, cooling will be a problem to this since RE4 drives are 7200RPM and run hotter than their lower RPM counterparts.   second, RAID 10 using four 2TB drives will create a 4TB array and won't be supported by the BIOS.   the largest size partition will be limited to ~2.2TB as you said.
i would stick with RAID 1 and either look into external NAS or consider another system upgrade if/when you run out of storage space.   the 30-series and P-series systems are UEFI and support >2.2TB partitions.

A Few Windows 7 Questions

Hello, and thanks for taking the time.
I'm looking forward to Apple's official support of Windows 7, and need a bit of help with a few questions I have.
1) My Macbook Pro was purchased before Snow Leopard was released, and then upgraded to Snow Leopard from a 29 dollar retail disk. Will I need my Leopard discs to install the Windows drivers, or the Snow Leopard disc? And, if Leopard, WHICH disk?
2) Can I resize a partition after it has been partitioned via Boot Camp?
3) Can I use Boot Camp to partition an external hard drive and install Windows 7 (when supported) on THAT partition?
Thanks for all help you can provide!
Happy Holidays!

Hello Midnightblues94,
Just an FYI for you.
It is always best to check with the software manufacturer FIRST. They will tell you if they have tested the product and the version, as well as whether or not it will work with Windows 7.
Check out the Windows 7 Compatibility site: (There you will find out about hardware and software compatibilty.)
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/en-us/default.aspx
There is a pulldown from which you can choose "hardware" and "software".
There are also some great articles, instructional videos and such to help with your Windows 7 at our Springboard site:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx
In any event a lot of the times, Vista drivers will work in lieu of Windows 7 drivers, however, it's not 100%!
I will tell you from first hand experience, all of my systems have been converted to Windows 7. I am not just saying it to say because I am affiliated with Microsoft. I can truly stand behind this product and tell you straight
away it works very reliably, fast and extremely stable. The 64bit version is a real powerhouse as well.
Anyways, what to say about Windows 7?
There are several new features that are available with Windows 7 that will assist you with deployment and management of a large number of workstations. Enterprise IT infrastructures are increasingly complex to manage. The Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) is a dynamic desktop solution that is available as a subscription for Software Assurance customers. The solution suite enhances application deployment and compatibility, increases IT responsiveness and end user uptime, and helps reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) of your desktop software and IT management. To learn more about this package, please go here: bit.ly/KzkwM
Also now available is MDT 2010 (Microsoft Deployment Tool) which will help you create images and automate the OS and application installations, data migration, and desktop configuration process. To learn more, please go here: bit.ly/GZnEY
Microsoft does have an official Windows 7 Support Forum specifically for IT Pros located here http://tinyurl.com/7jq7ps . It is supported by product specialists as well as engineers and support teams. You may want to also check the threads available there for additional assistance and feedback.

Platform compatibility question(s) from new user!

I'm confused.
I picked up Java a few days ago, with the intention of converting a long-standing JavaScript project that I have to run as an applet. I downloaded and installed the Java2 SDK (1.4) and associated runtime environment, and a simple but good IDE (JCreator 2).... and I'm happily developing applets to my heart's content. Cool language, by the way.
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their browsers complain that they can't find the class. Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly made the assumption that it's because I've installed the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
I REALLY want to use 1.4 to develop if I can. My JavaScript project that I'm converting is heavily dependant upon regular expression operations, and it would be a pity not to have them available - but platform compatibility is a must; this is a commercial project.
I'm missing something here, and I need to ask some really fundemental questions.
1. I was assuming that most browsers over 4.0 would support "Java2". Just what IS their level of support, by default. I hate new plug-ins, and the Java ones arent trivial!
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4) would work on the same virtual machine release, and that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?
3. If I have to develop for maximum compatibility with earlier browsers, can I do this with 1.4 and some compiler switch, or do I have to download older SDKs?
4. If the worst comes to the worst, is there a class out there that handles regular expression "style" operations that will work on older releases of the language.
Sorry that there's a fair bit there to answer, but since I can't find this info ANYWHERE on the web, I guess I won't be the only newbie facing such issues.
Peter McKean.

just a few points to add to the other answer :
HOWEVER, none of my colleagues (on IE5/5.5 on
Win2K/Millenium) can view my resulting efforts. Their
browsers complain that they can't find the class.
Works on mine, on-line, just not theirs. I've sadly
made the assumption that it's because I've installed
the 1.4 JRE and they haven't.
Yeah the Java support in IE is whack. The m$ JVM never got past java 1.1.4 compatability for various reasons. So unless you want users to install the java 2 pluggins, you have to code applets with the java 1.1 api. You can still do this with a java 2 sdk - you just have to watch the parts of the api you use.
>>
2. I had thought that any flavour of Java2 (1.2/3/4)
would work on the same virtual machine release, and
that new features in 1.4 would simply compile to
existing bytecode sequences. Am I wrong?Yeah you are wrong ;) . When do do:
import java.<package>.<class>
you are telling the compiler where to find the classes you are about to re-use in your code. You are not including them in your final compiled class files. So when the program runs, it looks for the classes in the classpath. If you use classes that don't exist in an older jvm, the program won't run in that jvm. (Same as if a C or C++ program is dynamically linked to dlls (in Win32) or shared objects on unix - they need to be on the system that the program is executed on.)
hope this helps...

External HDD enclosure questions

Hello, I just recently swapped out my factory HDD in my 2012 MBP for a Crucial 256GB SDD. I'm very pleased with the speed and the installation was a breeze! (Thanks to Bimmer 7 Series who's step by step reference guide helped me out alot)
I have a couple of questions or would just like a few opinions regarding what I should with my factory HDD? It's now in a enclosure and everything seems to be running fine. On top of the Hibatchi HDD (or whatever the apple factory HDD is) I also have a WD 500 GB regular external hard drive that I bought some time ago for time machine backups.
Ok so here's my question:
1) What do you recommend I do with the Hibatchi 750 GB HD? Should I leave it as is in case something happens, clone my SDD to it, use it for Time machine backup, etc..? I'm thinking I'm going to need one of them for storing large files that I don't need immediate access to, since the SSD isn't too much space. And the other one just a straight clone.
2) Kind of off topic, but do you think upping my RAM to 16GB from 8GB is worth it? My laptop seems to be blazing fast already but I do use RAM hungry apps like ProTools, Logic, Reason, and Ableton Live.
I was also having a problem with the Hibtachi HDD in the enclosure. When I plugged it in to the USB, my comp didn't recognize the HDD and did not mount. I tried opening up disk utility and I could view it there, but when I tried to erase/create Mac Journal it said something about it being unable to mount...
Sorry for the blabber but if anyone could give me some of their tips/tech opinion I would greatly appreciate it.
BTW if you're on the fence of upgrading to SSD... DO IT!!! It's well worth the $$$ and installation is a breeze.

The one question many of us are asking ourselves with the new and much vaunted USB3 ports that come in this year's Macs: do they also have the miserable 0.5A current limit of USB2 or not? Back in the day, that seemed an awful lot, but with modern monster drives it really falls short. Imagine trying to drive a 3TB HDD, which is virtually available in any corner store nowadays. And Hitachi promised reaching an 8-10TB record on a single spindle before the year is out.
As for the memory, been enjoying the following for the past three weeks, can't believe how fast the Mac has become. Cost me about the same and from the same place. Only difference is mine IS Mac-certified, although the specs appear to be the same, in speed and CAS timing. Go for it!

Hi.
First of all I know the NSS322 is a small business solution, but I was planning to purchase it for home use as I'm a big fan of CISCO hardware and my entire network and cable equipment is made by CISCO anyway. I hope it is suitable for home use, after all... So I was going to use it as a storage/streamer for video files, photos and backup in Raid 1 configuration with 2x2TB WD Black discs, connected to a Cisco 4200 wireless router. Thus, I've got a few question, hopefully someone here would be able to help me out with them.
1.      Is it DLNA capable with wirelessly streaming content to, say, DLNA enabled devises such as TVs, BD players (PS3), etc?
2.      Does it accept 3TB drives and the 7200rpm drives? And in this regard, would a 2TB WD Black series drives be sufficient for it to operate a solid Raid 1?
3.      Could it be wirelessly shared with several computers when used with a CISCO 4200 router primarily for storing downloaded files directly to the NAS without storing it to a local PC's HDD first?
4.      Probably the most important question I’ve seen a number of pictures of NSS322 and I’m very confused as of the actual color of the side and top panels. Some pictures show it to be grey side panels, almost white. Others pictures show it to be much darker, like charcoal black. I mean since I’m not going to put it into a server shelf and use it at home - it’s rather important for the “wife’s approval” factor
Thanks in advance for any input on this!
Chris

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback!
1. Is there a list of video/audio file formats that it is capable of streaming/transcoding? I assume the actual media server software is not WMP12, and then what is it? And I know you posted the link to the data sheet, but it gives me: Forbidden File or Application
Sorry about the Datasheet. Apparently it is for Cisco Partners. Here's a quote:
Twonky UPnP Media Server
• DLNA 1.5 Certified
• Real-time and background photo transcoding
• Supports UPnP and DLNA Media players such as Game Consoles (PlayStation 3, PSP, Xbox 360), Media Adapters, Mobile Devices (e.g. iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad with UPnP/DLNA Application)
• Supports formats: video (asf, flv, f1v, f4v, mp4, mpeg), audio (mp3, wave), picture (bmp, gif, jpg, png)
2. Do you think we could expect 3TB support in future firmware updates? Do you know if CISCO is planning to release them at a similar pace as say, QNAP?
I do not have any "official" word on this. I am sure that we will see official 3TB support in the near future. As I stated earlier, 3TB drives may work on the current firmware even though they are not on the approved list yet.
3. Can this NAS warn me in case of a drive failure (reallocated sectors, etc) with SMART warning that can be detected with diagnostic software on PC? I mean is it capable of detecting those warning and alarm me, or will it just wait until the drive finally dies and can not be accessed?
Absolutely! The NSS 300 series can be configured to send email alerts whenever there is an "event". It also has syslog support: "You can enable this option to save the event logs and connection logs to a remote syslog server." (From the GUI) It can also act as a syslog server if you wish so your other network devices can send their logs to the NAS for future use.
4. Here comes the deal-breaker What I meant is there are several variations of color even here at cisco.comone is really dark - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/ps4159/ps9954/ps10817/ps10853/NSS322-200x160.jpgand the other image shows it rather light http://www.cisco.com/cisco/web/solutions/small_business/products/storage/nss300/images/NSS-300-hero-705x180.jpgand of course there are other websites that have it even whiter (and kinda ugly if you ask me)! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822124005Do you know if color changed to a darker shade with newer revisions (like shown on cisco.com)?
I see your point and I certainly understand the confusion. Your second link is the most accurate depiction of the color. The surface is metal so you could send it to any body shop for some sandblasting and a fresh new coat of paint. Warning: Sandblasting and/or painting your NAS will void the warranty!

Satellite L50-A-19N HDD upgrade question

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the standard HGST HDD to a faster Seagate SSHD, and the problem is that in this model L50-A-19N there is no HDD cover, the whole laptop bottom must be removed like in this Link: [Video|http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG0lW7t92bI]
My question is can I upgrade the Disk by Myself and if not what can I do to replace the Disk not losing the warranty. I read the manual for this model and there is nothing about HDD upgrades there.
Regards.

Usually on most notebook models HDD is placed at the bottom and access to it is not complicated. As you can see on your notebook model it is not so easy and HDD exchange is not supported. With other words it should not be done by notebook owner.
Valid warranty is very important so please don't do anything on your own. HDD exchange in your case can be done by authorized service provider. If they do this warranty will not be cancelled.
Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
Good luck

NMH405 Impressions after the first days - and a few beginners type questions

Hi All, After some research I took the plunge and acquired a new NMH405 (I really would have liked the non existing "NMH400" i.e. no drives). I removed the 500GB drive and added two new 1.5TB WD Green Caviar Drives and set it up as Raid-1 After a few error messages and waiting for a very long time while the drives resynched I manage to get it online as z-drive to my vista system.  I played around with the built-in backup tool (I like it!). I tried the builtin player after having placed some of my iTunes albums on the media hub and decided that I did not really like that option to much. I then simply moved my itunes libraries to the MediaHub and used the iTunes application on Vista as a front end. That works very nice.
I have a few questions, probably showing my limited knowledge of network attached drives.
Q1. Are there any other way to power off the device than pressing the little bottom on the NMH405 (aka my NMH415!)? When powered off I assume the only other way to power it on is via the bottom again?
Q2. I have noticed the device is offline for ages after having either recycled Windows Vista or the hub itself. Why is that? And what can I do to bring it online in a orderly fashion? There must be a way to get that ugly red crossed NAS showing as green and online as a z-drive in "My Computer" a lot faster.
Q3. I reformatted the 500GB drive that the box came with, added it to Disk enclosure box and attached the USB to the front of the NMH405, after a while it said on the front panel that it had detected the drive and asker whether I wanted to import the content.  I declined that (partly because it was empty!). Now how do I access this drive? I would like to (occasionally) use it to back up files from my Raid-1 setup (you newer know what could happen there...). How do I use this USB attached drive? Also i noticed it did not show up in "My Computer" - actually "Computer" in windows? Adding it directly to my windows system it is detected instantly?
Thanks for any pointers or answers to enhance my user experience. I am still learning here.
best regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Q1. Your correct, there's only one button at the front for powering on/off. There is though an option to reboot the device inside the web interface thru the configuration > system option.
Q2. It really depends on how fast your network can establish a connection, a mapped network drive is fine but I noticed that it slows down the bootup or login process when you turn on the PC. What I did was just create a shortcut on the desktop (location \\nmh410\media) which points to my mediahub and did not map the mediahub anymore to drive z.
Q3. If its a fresh 500gb drive with nothin on it yet, then you would need to create a partition on it first by connecting the external USB drive directly to the PC. Check out this article from Microsoft about partitioning. I think an external USB drive icon will not show up on the PC since the external USB drive is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port. To gain access to that external USB drive which is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port, I just create a shortcut to \\nmh410\media\device . For backup you can use the NTI backup software that came with your mediahub.
Cheers.

Few basic SRM questions .......

I recently completed the SRM training from SAP and I have few basic questions and need help. Full points will be rewarded.
These are my questions and it is based on SRM 5.0 Classic Scenario with R/3 backend
1. Invoice & confirmation transferred to R/3 via ALE ? . All other documents are transferred to R/3 via RFC?
2. Based on the configuration, if the material is available in the backend then reservation will be created. Other wise PO will be created. For text items, PR will be created.
     a. Who (purchaser) will process the PR in R/3 and how it is processed?.
     b. Who (purchaser?) will process the reservation in R/3 and how it is
         processed?. Assume no sourcing is setup in this case and No MRP run.
3. How the vendor is linked to the Material or product category in SRM?. During the vendor replication from R/3, vendor and material/prod category link is automatically maintained?
4. How the vendor is linked to a specific purchasing org/group? Is it based on the prod category assigned in the org structure for each purchasing org or purchasing group?
5. How to do delta prod category replication?
6. How to do Delta Material Replication?.
7. Contracts and vendor list:-
    In our SAP training we created these from the browser. But in the actual
    implementation how do we create this?. Is it always from the browser?
8. Direct Material and Plan driven Procurement.
   Can we use catalog items as direct material?. Just for example - > What
   about Car Batteries that is directly used in production and has the inventory
   also. But we are using electronic catalog for procuring this item. Is it possible to
   order this as direct material?
9. How to replicate Plant. How to use DNL_PLNT?. Is BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL will replicate all the PLANT's and its locations from the R/3 backend?
10. In the HR system, which transaction we can view the org structure?

You can use the following three routines to download locations from the backend system and store them as business partners in SAP Enterprise Buyer.
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL
To get all the location numbers from each backend system that is connected
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM
To get all the location numbers from one particular backend system
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED
To get selected locations
Previously, locations were not given business partner numbers in SAP Enterprise Buyer. If you are configuring an upgrade, you can use routines BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM and BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED to check that the following conversions have been made:
·        Conversion of user favorites
·        Conversion of user attributes
·        Conversion of old documents
Routine BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL checks these automatically.
Once you have run the routines, the location data is available in the SAP Enterprise Buyer system. Table BBP_LOCMAP contains the mapping information (in other words, which business partner number corresponds to which location in which backend system).
For more information, see SAP Note 563180 Locations for EBP 4.0 plant replication

A formal 'Hello' to the community and a few Arch-related questions

Hi guys.
As a long-time Genoo and part-time Arch user I finally made the switch to Arch complete. Since I've been reading here quite a lot in the last year I thought I could as well create an account (acutally I did that a while back but never used it) and say hello.
I've been running Arch on my laptop for about the last year. Coming from gentoo as my first ever Linux experience, Arch seemed the next logical step whenever I should grow weary of endless compiles and re-compiles (which is about now). I'm an enthusiastic Xmonad user which is why I'm particularily fond of this forum and it's Xmonad community. That's also the reason why I stumbled upon arch in the first place. So far it hasn't let me down once and I'm really happy with my (now 2) setups.
With a little help of some of you guys on IRC I installed Arch64 on a RocketRaid 2310 Raid5 a few days ago. It's running really smooth and I'm quite impressed by the overall difference (in speed and usability) of kdemod KDE4 to my gentoo compiled one.
For those interested as to how exactly I installed (there seems to be quite some controversy about the RocketRaid cards), here's how I did it:
1) Boot from the Arch64 install cd
2) Set up the environment for compilation of the driver:
- fire up the network
- edit the mirror file to my likings (a whole lot of German mirrors over here)
- blacklist the packages kernel26, ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper-utils and tiacx
The kernel shouldn't be updated unless anyone knows some magic kexec tricks from inside a live environment
The other packages somehow depend on the kernel package
3) Pacman -Suy base-devel
4) Download the driver package, unpack and make
5) rmmod sata_mv, modprobe rr2310_00 (The sata_mv module has to be unmounted, otherwise the raid controller will crash
6) Mount the raid drive and install
I did a manual installation since that's what i'm used to from gentoo (and since I don't trust the installer all too far with the whole raid setup) and the rest of it went pretty smoothly. I had to go for by-label uuid'ing my partitions though because they come in randomly on each boot.
I do have a question now:
Is there any way to conveniently trigger rebuilding the RocketRaid driver whenever a new kernel has been installed? I did create my own PKGBUILD of the driver from an old one that's in the aur so all it would take is to tell pacman that every update of kernel26 should automatically force-update the driver even though it's version hasn't changed. The alternative is of course to just keep compiling my own kernel as I did on gentoo but I'd like to not have to think about any of that stuff and just use the system.
Or, if anyone has another cool idea how to handle this, I'm open to that too.

I didn't think this was such a big deal. Also they way I did it, though working for me, is not the most elegant solution. One would rather build his own install cd with the driver included that then can serve as a backup system in case the raid driver is not rebuilt after a kernel update.

A few more Solaris questions

I'm sure this isn't the best place to post this, but I currently have a file server running Solaris 11 with a raid-z2 pool and I'm building a new vmware server out of some parts I've managed to get some good deals on might I add.
I'm building on a supermicro x8dt3-f board that has an LSI controller on board with a pair of xeon 5570's and 48gb ram. The processors and ram actually came from a sun blade that was tossed out for recycling, sadly the box had never been opened, but i got these for pennies on the dollar, so i'm happy
I'd like to move the current Solaris file server into a VM on the new ESXi 5.1 host and passthrough the LSI controller.
I've been reading, and reading and reading and i find the more i read, the more questions I have and the less clear some of the answers are getting.
First, from what I gather, Solaris 11 has only been added to the supported guest list in ESXi with the recent esxi 5.1 version as I understand? So all should be fine here? Can someone confirm?
second, i've read about issues with LSI controllers under solaris 11. Is this something that has been addressed in 11.1?
Third, trying to find the best method to conver the physical system to virtual under ESXi
The first thing I plan on doing is backing up my data from the pool, though it will be scattered across a few systems. Then I plan on exporting the pool to move the disks physically to the new controller in the VM. The question I have here, is will the share flags and permissions be retained when I import the pool? or do I have to redo all that?
But then, what's the best method to move it to a VM? The one document I see come up the most is moving a physical solaris system into a zone on another system. Can it be transferred to the global zone? Could I do a new install in a VM, and move the existing install to the global zone, import my pool and call it a daY?
Or do I dd the OS disk, convert the image and drop it into vmware, get the hardware working, and then import the pool?
Or is there a better way? Has anyone got any online docs in mind that may help specifically with this migration? everything i'm finding is scattered, maybe i'm not looking for the right things but I could use some pointers if anyone has suggestions.
I suppose I should note, i have it integrated with an Active directory, this is why i'm worried about permissions being retained when i import the pool
I just want this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, with as little headache as possible. it's my home setup, so realistically it takes the time it takes as long as things go smooth

I know this may not be the answer you are looking for, but I think you are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
One other option is to leave your Solaris Storage server on the bare metal of this new beast of a machine you are piecing together. Then, use VirtualBox 4.2.6 which is support quite well in Solaris to run whatever virtual machines you where intending ESXi to be used for.
This way you have the fastest possible storage setup without the issues of hardware passthrough. And the fast storage now benefits the VMs running on it. Not to mention the other neat options now of running lzjb compression for the VMs. either using zvols for the VMs, or just virtualbox vdi files sitting on a compressed zfs filesystem.
As far as the LSI 1068E controller goes, their website only shows drivers for Solaris 10. So unless Solaris 11 has the drivers built in, you may not be able to use that controller. Believe me I feel your pain in this one.. I have the d#$$!est time finding good SAS HBAs for Solaris 11.1 and the few I did find had questionable drivers. Areca 1320 cards seem to work well, as do Adaptec 64xx and 68xx raid cards. LSI has a new line that supposedly works with Solaris 11.
My advice is to try a baremetal install of Solaris 11.1 on the new machine and see if you can recognize drives on the LSI controller, if not then use the 6 onboard SATA ports if that is enough for the drives. Otherwise purchase an Areca 1320 which is only like 230 bucks for the 8 port version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151116R

Monitor Compatibility Question

I plan on purchasing a Mac Pro with the Radeon X1900 XT card in the near future. I have been shopping around for a good monitor, and the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP (found here: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku= 320-4335) caught my eye. However, at the bottom of the tech specs, it lists only PC under "Compatibility." I know of other people who have used Dell monitors for their Macs, and this monitor does have DVI, so I don't see why it would not be compatible with the Mac Pro. Does anyone know definitively whether or not this monitor would work?

Hello,
You should be just fine. The majority of monitors are listed as compatible with PC's only. The simple reason is that the manufacturers don't care to test them with Macs and have all their resources devoted to supporting what they know.
If they mentioned that it would work with a Mac, then they would be stuck trying to answer your questions on the phone if you needed help. Since they don't use Macs, and don't maintain a staff of Mac trained people, it is easier to just omit official support. That way they can just tell you that they don't support Macs and hang-up the phone.
I've been using PC monitors with my Macs since before Apple even supported PC monitors at all (you used to have to buy monitors with Apple specific cables). I would just use an adapter to convert the PC connector to connect to the Mac video port.
In all my years, I've never found a PC monitor that would not work with my Mac. And, that still holds true today. I've used several low-end monitors with my current machines, and all work fine.
I've even got a bargain basement DVI monitor connected right-now, and it works perfectly.
Basically, if you want official support and a guarantee, then buy a monitor that specifically lists Mac compatibility.
But, if you are willing to accept that their phone support will avoid helping you, then go with any brand you like.
Understand that Dell is primarily interested in selling and supporting Dell computers. They have no interest in fielding calls from Mac users because they are not going to be familiar with OS X. Naturally, they will list PC compatibility because they know Windows very well.
But, you should also understand that the only difference between an Intel-based Mac and an Windows PC, is that the Intel-based Mac can also run OS X. Otherwise, they are just different brands of computers that use pretty much the same hardware.
I hope this helps.

A few standards related questions

i've got three questions:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape/test
1. what's the deal with the footer? it seems like my
"containerwide" div isn't meeting the "footer" div correctly. but i
don't see anything in the code that would allude to that...
2. how do i get my rule/ornament, the one just below the
maroon bar, (reference:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape
) below the header .png? do i use z-index?
3. once i get this all set up in css, is using a cms like
textpattern or expression engine much easier? i tried to use it
with a website that utilized tables, with no success. am i going in
the right direction in regards to xhtml setup to optimize use with
these cmss?
thanks a lot.

Hi theOne
Thanks for the reply,
I'll take a look at the CSS but I'm not going to be modifying the wiki-server on Leopard as there seems to be little point with the next release isn't far off. I'll be putting it to use when I upgrade.
Contacts - it's something i've thought about. The place I used to work at had Netscape Directory Server and Imperia (CMS), we managed to add a nice search feature on the intranet there which was always used. It would be great if it was easy enough to add another search button with that accessing open directory or something similar. We'll always keep the FMPro database though as I use it in conjunction with a few other DB's, so it's not a big deal. Integrating FMPro would have been handy for accessing a few of our other databases in one single place.
You are right, you can't turn off editing on individual pages or the blog/wiki. For me it would be great, as it would allow the intranet to be more of a group experience. If the company was 10 or 20 people then it would be an easier decision to allow them all write access to it. We are just over 100 in London now and that makes it more likely someone will get too button happy with their mouse. Still we have an easy to use intranet out of this, which cost us nothing so I can't complain. If we outgrow the wiki server faster than Apple add features we're not too stuck and could move it to Wordpress or similar. I am looking forward to adding podcasting and the mailing list features in the next release.
Thanks again all
Beatle
