Adding a pre-existing RAID5 array

I'm running a solaris file server. I'm booting solaris off of a single disk and then have a RAID5 array across three disks for my data. I removed the disk that solaris was on, put in an empty hard drive and installed solaris again.
My Question: How can I add my RAID5 array from my previous solaris install while keeping my data?

Ok, so I ran metastat -p on the old install and got
d0 -r c3d0s2 c1d0s2 c4d0s2 -k -i 32b
Meaning that the name is d0, the disks it's on are
c3d0s2 c1d0s2 c4d0s2 with an interlace size of 32b
Assuing my disks are named the same thing on the new
solaris install (they should be) I just feed that
line there to metainit? As long as you have SVM configured on the machine, yes.
Edit Final: Tried metainit, got the following
metainit: pbfs01: there are no existing databasesThen you haven't set it up yet. You need to create metadevice replicas somewhere. They can be on the boot disk somewhere or on the array. It doesn't matter.
The location of the old ones on the other machine would be shown by 'metadb'.
If they were on the array, you can use the same location. When you do that, it will overwrite the old replicas.
Once done, the 'metainit' command will work.

Adding a pre-existing podcast to iTunes U using the feed method.

While trying to add another pre-existing CSULB podcast to our CSULB on iTunes U (using the "feed" method), I encountered an error message that I don't know how to interpret.
Can you help me with this or is there somebody else at Apple I should work with?
The pre-existing podcast is at: http://www.ccpe.csulb.edu/citt/podcast/feed.aspx
The error message reads:
"While attempting to download. . . iTunes U encountered an authorization error and could not update the content. Verity your authorization access to the feed specified in the feed URL field, including the user name and password permissions, and then try again."
I have no idea what this means. Can someone please help?

Is anyone using Podcast Producer 2 to publish content on iTunes U, and if so, does it work reasonably well (do you recommend using it)?
Its spiffy. I like it, but I'm a softie when it comes to Apple stuff.
Am I correct in thinking Podcast Producer 2 can only be used to create an RSS feed to point to podcasts stored in its Podcast Library or can you use Podcast Producer to upload files into our institutional iTunes U storage space (yes we are fortunate to have access to Apple's 500 GB storage space)?
You can choose to do either. Although I haven't seen anything official, I suspect that Apple prefers the use of Podcast Library…but that's just a preference, not any sort of recommendation or future direction. In the end, I suggest (and I think Apple would agree) that you do what makes the most sense for you. For example, we choose to do it both ways.
Can you provide a link to instructions (or explain how to either identify in iTunes U that the podcast is in Podcast Producer's Podcast Library as an RSS Feed or how to upload the podcast from Podcast Producer to a specific tab in a specific iTunes tab.
I believe someone (a friend from Apple…??) released a PcP workflow action that deals with iTunes U the same way as PcPv1 did. Overall, though, probably the best kept PcP secret is that Podcast Producer is a generalized workflow solution. Sure, it's cast as a podcasting solution…but if you can get OS X Server to do something, you can get Podcast Producer to turn it into a workflow…anything. Since OS X Server can be scripted to upload content to iTunes U, Podcast Producer can handle that too.
I appreciate any information given as I have tried with little success to find this information in either the iTunes U or Podcast Producer Admin guides.
Thanks!!

Adding a pre-existing classes to Eclipse

Hi,
I've downloaded and activated Eclipse 3.1 + JCOP tools and things seem OK.
I have a java card applet that I want to compile and simulate.
I've followed the instructions on the JCOP site and created a new java card project and dropped the .java file into the project. Eclipse seems to like this. I've set the AID for the applet and created an instance ID.
Everything seems to look good except that I'm getting an error that my applet AID is invalid or not set. I set the package ID via it's properties page. The package AID is all green, I take that to be good.
Is a package AID the equivalent to the applet AID? If not, how do I set the applet AID. If it is, how do I get my Eclipse/JCOP to recognize it's been set?
Thanks,
Cam

Do the same thing for the applet as you did for the package. It's in the properties

In ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

in ical I just added new calendars to a pre-existing calendar group, I can make events with these calendars, but not reminders, any suggestions?

Hi,
Lion has changed the way reminders (todos as was) work. They now seem to need to be in a seperate calendar.
In iCal open the File menu and select New Reminder List... and select where to put it.

Adding a character into a pre-existing filename; Bridge CS5.1

I would like to know if it is possible to add a character or in my case a ( Character & a Space ) in-between an already pre-existing sequential number
For example,
1301 Filename.jpg - - - - -> 13 01. Filename.jpg ( Added a ( Space ) inbetween the two numbers, and placed a ( Period ) aswell.
I would like to do this action to a group of files using the Batch Rename Feature; inside of Adobe Bridge CS5.1
Is this possible? Is there a work around?

I understand how string substitution works, you are misinterpreting the question.
I would like to change the number sequence from.
1301 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 01. Filename.jpg
1302 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 02. Filename.jpg
1303 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 03. Filename.jpg
1304 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 04. Filename.jpg
1305 Filename.jpg - - - - - - - -> 13 05. Filename.jpg
As you can see I would like to ( Add ) Characters not replace. the characters being a ( Space ) and a ( Period )
But if there is a way to replace all of my sequence numbers together, that would be a viable option aswell.As of now I am not aware of a substitution command that will get rid of say a four digit combonation of numbers no matter what the actuall numbers
That last sections of what you copy and pasted states there may be commands ( Expressions ) to replace filename patterns, but I am not aware of any specific commands ( Expressions ) I must type inside of the text bar to achieve the affect I am looking for.
Any pre-existing help on Expressions?
They are foreign to me and I would like to study the information for future use.
I will be searching Google, if by chance I come across information pertaining to this subject, I will let you know. As of now any help is much appreciated.
Ok I have figured out how to get rid of the string of numbers by using the Regular Expression of [0-9] but,
I still do not know how to add a ( space ) inbetween the numbers without doing it all manually.
Regular Expressions is the answer to my question, but now I have a new question. Which Regular Exresion do I use? It seems like it will take quite some time to get a good understanding of Regular Expressions, is there anyone who has a fair amount of knowledge on the subject who is willing to assist me in the mean time?

Adding a single page to pre-existing website

I currently have a website running on Amazon S3 and want to add a page to the domain using Muse and do not want to replace the pre-existing website.
Example:
Current web address:
subsite.mywebsite.com
Desired address of Muse-created site:
subsite.mywebsite.com/musesite.html
subsite.mywebsite.com does not need to be modified in any way—my clients just need to be able to access musesite.html via a link using my brand's domain. Can this be accomplished using BusinessCatalyst provided hosting? If so, how can I accomplish this?

Hi Joseph,
You need to create the page in Muse and then export the html to a local folder on your computer and then upload the exported content on the root folder of your existing business catalyst site. You will not be able to use the web forms with this approach.
If you can host the site in a sub directory, then you can create the page in the Muse and then publish directly to a sub-directory on the root, this way you will be able to use the web forms.

Adding Sequence to pre-existing Encore project

I want to add a sequence to a pre-existing Encore project, though the dynamic link can only start a new project. Do I have to export it as a .mov file first, then import it into Encore?

This question has been asked by plenty of users. When you use Encore first by dynamic linking from Premiere, there's no reason to know that the reverse is built in. And it is not obvious as to where the command is located.

How do I find and include pre-existing music files on my PC?

I'm new to iTunes and believe that I should be able to find and include pre-existing music files on my PC?
I've found out how to show the menu bar but I can't see how to do the above except file/folder by file/folder.

Hello there, LeighCenturion.
The following Knowledge Base article provides instruction on how to add content from your computer to iTunes:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473#2
Specifically:
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

Trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into iTunes?

I'm having trouble importing pre-existing videos on my computer into my iTunes library? For example, I've tried adding a home video and opening it with iTunes, etc, and no error comes up or anything, it just doesn't show up in my iTunes library, not in the music, TV, Movies, Podcasts or Radio. What is the problem, does the video need to be converted to a suitable format? If so, what is this and how do I do this? I'm a new iTunes and iPod user so I would really appreciate any solutions or advice to this problem.

ARG!! me too! I have Widnows Vista as well!! PLEASE!!!! if you EVER find out how to fix this... tell me! I have a video I downloaded from You Tube and it's in the ".flv" format! Apple reads .MP4 along with many others... but this might be a type it doesn't support! so if you ever found out how to fix this.... TELL MEEEE!!!!

Mdadm RAID5 array errors

This week there was a power blackout at my town, which seems to have corrupted my RAID5 array. When I first booted my server, the array seemed normal. I could browse my folders at the machine, but when I tried to access them through samba from a Windows pc, it didn't show all files in the directories. After restarting samba, I finally tried rebooting the system, which is when the real troubles started.
After the reboot the array didn't get mounted at al and cat /proc/mdstat showed me:
Personalities :
md0 : inactive sde[0](S) sdc[3](S) sdb[2](S) sdd[1](S)
3907049984 blocks
mdadm --assemble --scan told me: mdadm: /dev/md0 assembled from 2 drives - not enough to start the array.
After some reading I tried mdadm --assemble --force /dev/md0 I got:
[root@htpc ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sde[0] sdb[3] sdc[2]
2930287488 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [U_UU]
unused devices: <none>
This made me think that /dev/sdd was kicked out of the array (like real RAID controllers do when a disk is not responding) so I tried to re-add it with mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdd which gave me a message stating that the disk was re-added to the array. It seemed like the array was rebuilding, given this /proc/mdstat output:
md0 : active raid5 sdd[4] sde[0] sdb[3] sdc[2]
2930287488 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/3] [U_UU]
[>....................] recovery = 0.0% (710784/976762496) finish=274.6min speed=59232K/sec
However, when I checked the array this morning, I got this:
[root@htpc ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md0 : active raid5 sdd[4](S) sde[0] sdb[5](F) sdc[2]
2930287488 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/2] [U_U_]
Can anyone tell me if my data is totally screwed, or would there be any way to get this array back to life?
The machine is running Arch x86_64, which I update weekly. The harddisks are WD Caviar Green WD10EACS.

(S) is spare, (F) is faulty.

When I sync my ipod to add new material, sometimes itunes will automatically rearrange the song order of my pre-existing albums by number of plays. Why does it do this? And is there a way to stop it?

When I add an album to itunes and subsequently to my ipod, everything is arranged by track number of the album. Sometimes when I sync in order to add new material to my ipod, itunes for some reason automatically rearranges some of my pre-existing material by songs with the greatest number of plays to least (though sometimes it seems to be completely random). When I check itunes on my computer, everything still appears to be in order but the way it appears on the device often is in the previously mentioned disorder. Why does it do this? Is there any setting that I can adjust to make it stop because the only way I've found so far is to delete the rearranged material and re-import the cd and then re-sync. It might sound picky, but I prefer that my music be in order by track number as the artists themselves intended for various reasons the foremost being that I often listen to whole albums from start to finish and this glitch makes such problematic. I have found some settings in preferences that focus on how material is arranged but this seemed to be focused on the actual folders where the music is located on my hard drive and not the way it appears on the ipod. If anyone knows the reason it does this or has suggestions on fixing it, I would be greatly appreciative. Thanks.

Did the original songs that do not appear on the car player play in the Music app on the iPod? Sometimes glitches happen and they do not. Also, If y ohave a 5G iPod/iOS 7, purchase songs will show with an cloud icon by them if they are not downloaded if Shall All is turned on in Settings>iTunes and App Store

How do I find the ports a pre existing program used in DAQ?

Hi all,
I am setting up a laser displacement sensor and trying to utilize a pre existing program that was created by graduate students before me. There are 4 wires coming from the laser displacement sensor that need to be connected to the DAQ but we have no information telling us where these wires are supposed to attach to the DAQ in order to run the pre existing program correctly.
Is there any way that we could figure this out?
Thank you for your help,
mccutchen12c

James,
Thank you for your help! Yes, we have looked at a couple different methods on how to tell if the information had been programmed by the previous grad students and we haven't had any success in finding that information. So I believe you are right in assuming its not documented.. We will do a better job of documenting for future grad students after us.
I have attached our code. Any insight you could give would be greatly appreciated!
We have an Acuity AR200-6 laser displacement sensor with green, yellow, black and a wire that isn't wrapped that all lead to the serial port in the back of the computer and ground. We then have white, blue, orange and brown wires that do not have a location.. We did some research and the are as follows:
white: laser disable
blue: buttons disable
orange: voltage output
brown: voltage RTN
We are starting to wonder if we are just not supposed to use the DAQ.. Can you confirm the connection is solely through a serial port?
Cheers,
Carley

Is it possible to set up a form with a submit button where the data in the fields gets added to an existing excel file, just like 'collect response' but without connecting to the internet?

I have a form that I want to use to collect peoples information with a submit button. I am trying to get the data that gets inserted to be added to an existing excel doc when the submit button gets hit, the form then resets and someone else can fill in the same form, hit submit and his data gets added to the existing data in the same excel doc. It is basically the same as the 'collecting response' option but without having to be online. The form is going to be used at a boat-show and I am going to get people to fill it out on an iPad. Does anybody know if this is possible?

You could connect a bunch of 3700s to each computer and do this .
Or...since you're the one who monitors the monthly limit, you could restrict an individual's internet access once you see that you guys are coming too close to the cap.

Using airport time capsule to create an internet connected network from pre existing wifi network

i bought an airport time capsule for college. I bought it to create a network for my dorm room so that I could take the pre existing wifi from the school and make my own mini network that I can hook my other stuff up to. Problem is that I don't have an ethernet hook up in my room so the network would have to be created from a wifi network rather that a ethernet hook up. Is this still possible? Alternate suggestions? I am afraid of either the college network blocking users from communication with other devices via the wifi, or the fact that my printer would be on a huge network for all to screw with.

Is this still possible?
NO, it won't work. Apple only works with apple.
Alternate suggestions?
I am sure your college has rules about not running your own wifi networks.. but anyway.. that is up to you.. the Apple TC cannot turn off 2.4ghz which would be handy.. so the only way to do this following the rules is ethernet. You can run a full network standalone on ethernet. And still use wireless for internet.
If you want to use wireless standalone this is also possible but you need to connect a second wifi USB dongle your Mac so you can have two networks at once.. You can use an express to connect to the college wireless and bridge that to the TC by ethernet.. then use the TC to create your own network.. since you cannot turn off 2.4ghz I guess how long the College IT people take to track you down should be hours. If you could just use 5ghz it would probably be ok.

I have just downloaded Mac OS X 10.9 and Pages 5. When I open any pre-existing document in the new Pages the format is zoomed to 125%, the headers are out of position, the margins are changes, and inserted images are also relocated. What can I do?
