After upgrade of hard drives in RAID,  XSAN Admin sees wrong lun sizes?

So I purchased new 750GB drives for our XS RAIDS and I upgraded firmware to 1.5.1 C on RAIDS, but XSAN Admin sees wrong lun sizes. I have tried running XSAN 1.4.2 and even uninstalled on MDC and reinstalled back to 1.4.1 still no luck. Weird thing is that when I uninstall XSAN and then reinstall XSAN the lun names are still there in XSAN Admin, it is like they are stored in a file that does not get uninstalled when I uninstall XSAN.
I even upgraded the Firmware on the RAIDS again after the install of the new drives, the only drives that did not get upgraded were the 2 x 250GB set for Metadata Info on the first Raid Controller. I am running this on XSERVE non intel with OS X Server 10.4.11. I did not uninstall XSAN off any of the clients only the backup MDC.
I hope this info helps cause I could really use some tips from all you masters.
Thanks in advance
Jesse

Ok so I am a dumb *. All I had to do to fix my issue was delete the actual names of the Luns in XSAN Admin and hit enter and it updated the Lun sizes. Thanks everyone.

  • Problem with gigabit after upgrade to hard drive

    I just upgraded my hard drive to a 7200.2 and re-installed 10.4. Set up my network with a static IP and manually set my Ethernet card to 1000 and full duplex but am only seeing about 1.3MB/s transfer rates from my NAS. Before the upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s. Is there something I might have missed.
    My network:
    Mini 1.6GHz, Infrant ReadyNAS, both running gigabit jumbo frames at 7936 frames. Netgear gigabit switch, cat6 or cat5e cabling.
    Again prior to the hard drive upgrade I was seeing 30MB/s
    now I am seeing 1.3MB/s

    I don't see a new topic link anywhere so please forgive me.
    I just got my mac today and ive searched through the forums and typed in advanced searches and I cannot seem to find a answer. I cant even register my mini because something is wrong with the serial number I been on the internet and usually when i'd get done for the day on the internet I would do a disk clean up and defrag my pc. My question is there any way I can do a disk clean up and defrag on a mac? Please help
    Oh and I have another question. I read about some kinda feature that allows me to use my mac mini to share a internet connection with a another computer. But im not too sure if they were just talking about a network or whatever. But could I do so if I wanted to connect a ps3 to my mini with a ethernet cord and use the mini's wifi feature to share the internet?

  • Xsan Admin reporting wrong volume size

    I have an Xsan with 12T in a volume.
    Xsan admin report only 4T free. In a Volume folder really it have used 4.5T (information obtain by the command du -h -d 1)but when I have Get Info in Volume, it show me 8T occupied.
    Two weeks ago I had a cleanup of the system with cvfsck and the problem was corrected, but in this moment i have the same problem again.
    Can you help me?

    Did you first see the problem after you upgraded to Xsan 2.2?
    Are you running Mac OS X Server 10.5.8 or 10.6.4?

  • I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    I'm installing windows 7 64-bit on my imac which I've done before but I get a message that the partition is GPT even after I format the bootcamp partition.  I just upgraded my hard drive to a 3tb and I'm allocating 1tb for windows. How can I fix this?

    No easy fix for a few reasons:
    1) Bootcamp requires a hybrid MBR for the partition table. That is: both an MBR and a GPT partition table at the same time with the GPT one having all partitions and the MBR one having only the ones that are relevant, but at most 4 of them (including the protective partition and the Macintosh HD one). Which leads us to:
    2) The MBR part of the hybrid partition table cannot work with 3TB hard drives. MBR is limited to 2TB.
    I am working on a small EFI app that can boot Windows in EFI mode on a Mac and that would mean that you can go GPT only on your system. The progress of the app is slow due to the nature of EFI and for now requires that you do an unattended Windows install with slipstreamed graphics drivers, but we are adding VGA loading on top of EFI quite soon after the rest of the app stabilises. The status of the app is documented at:
    Win7 x64 booting natively via EFI (no bios emulation)
    Windows does actually successfully boot in EFI mode on most Macs (anything with a 64bit EFI should work), but does not have graphics support even if you load the driver due to the VGA pci registers not being set by the firmware. Furthermore, in Setup and Safe Mode, Windows uses VGA instead of GOP which is a failure by design since VGA is a BIOS standard and not really compatible without hacks with EFI. Other EFI implementations also add VGA compatibility at a high cost to the firmware complexity for the VGA cards available on the market that don't actually contain anything in their ROM except the VGA BIOS.
    My recomendations:
    1) Install on a second smaller hard-drive; or
    2) Wait for the EFI app to come out officially and use that to boot Windows Vista SP1 x64 and Windows 7 x64 (RTM and SP1) in the native EFI mode.
    3) Wait for Windows 8 which supports VGA-less booting acording to the AMD presentation at UEFI Plugfest.

  • Do I need an OS Disc to restore my macbook after I upgrade the hard drive?

    I need to upgrade the hard drive in my 2009 macbook. I have a Time Capsule. I'm not clear on whether I need to install OS on the new drive using a disc, or whether I can do that from the Time Capsule? The issue is that my disc drive is broken, and I don't really want to replace it as I never use discs in it anyway. But i don't want to get stuck with a new hard drive and be unable to get an operating system on it.

    I prefer this process:
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
    However, you could simply reinstall OS X on the new drive after prepping it, the restore all your files from your Time Machine backup.
    Hard to say what if any other options there may be since you haven't told us what version of OS X is in use and backed up to your Time Capsule (and if it is a full system backup.)

  • What do I need to do after I upgrade the hard drive on my macbook pro?

    I just bought a new 13" Macbook pro i5 on May/03/13 but I need more space and I want to upgrade my Hard Drive from the 500GB it come's with to a 750GB. So I just want to know the steps I need to take after I do the upgrade and start up my Macbook, Someone told me that the Macbook won't work right away because I have to do something to it, I just dont know what. Can anybody plz tell me what I have to do after I do the upgrade step by stpe? Thank You!
    Oh and my Macbook pro is on OSX 10.8.3

    Correct. After installing the new hard drive, your Mac won't have any operating system, so you will have to reinstall OS X using Internet Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    To start in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting. Then, open Disk Utility and create a partition formatted with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", if it hasn't been already created. Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X.
    If you want to copy all the data you had on the old hard drive into the new one, use Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html Note that you will have to buy an enclosure to put the old hard drive

  • HT6030 I have 2011 iMac it came with os x 10.6.6 i just upgraded the hard drive and now i cannot install OS X 10.6.6 every time i start installing after selecting the language it come up with error " OS X can't be installed on this mac " please help

    Be sure to start your iMac using its original grey System Install DVD: Insert that disc and start your Mac while holding the d key. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen select Disk Utility and format the hard disk. Select "Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Then, install OS X.

  • Upgrade MacBook Hard Drive

    While it is obvious that I can upgrade a hard drive, I would like to do so without reinstalling software and, as importantly, changing an identifier (such as a serial number) so that my online backup software will not balk when trying to back up. I hope that this is clearer than it sounds but essentially, I want the new, larger hard drive that I install, to be identified as the same as the smaller that I had after the upgrade. (Do not want iTunes to consider this a new device, don't want Carbonite to think its a different drive and make me reupload everything, etc.) How would this work?

    Ahsley is correct. Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper are two most common and most recommended options. You put your new drive in an external enclosure and clone your internal drive to the external one. Reboot the machine holding down the Option key and select the external drive just to make sure it is working properly (it will be much slower as it will be running over the firewire or USB port... both of which are slower than the internal SATA). After you're convinced everything is working properly, just swap the drives.
    To the best of my knowledge, nothing is based off of a drive serial number... but rather the logic board serial. Using a drive serial number for any sort of verification would be a bad idea considering how often they fail or are upgraded.

  • I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs.  I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

    That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

  • I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

    I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

    There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.

  • How to reinstall iWork '09 (part of Mac Box Set) after recalled mac hard drive was replaced?

    imac 27" late 2009 OSX 10.8.2
    Have spent a week trying to get iwork opened ( use Pages for my business ) - read almost every support, tried all options to no avail - earlier restore using Time Machine after affected Seagate hard drive was replaced no charge.
    The error message reads: "Pages cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Pages works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X. Click Report to see more detailed information and send a report to Apple."
    Can any one confirm a simple ...
    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)    answer
    or am I better to $buy another box??
    Unfortunately I find the multitude of support suggestions too beside the point - yet to sight a sound solution!

    Hi Kappy -
    Yes, thought you had the answer  ....  but .... NO  !!!
    I purchased Pages to upgrade but no go .... alas .... message, should have guessed it? ....  yes -
    'Pages already installed on this computer. Choose Software update from the Apple menu to check for available updates !'
    HELLO ?    I have no software updates or even record of purchase.
    I now realise this matter will never ever be resolved .... soooooo .... plan B -
    1) I will sue APPLE for $US80k because my business is based around PAGES and has lost approx $US15k to date over 31/2 weeks - unfortunately, this loss of opportunity will quickly balloon with 2012 closing.
    2) If recompense is not forthcoming by negotiation I will initiate a campaign on all Social Networks to let the world   know that Apple may sell you an unreliable toxic hard drive which will cost your business a truck load of money    .... they openly admit that some of their 1TB Seagate hard drive's ( probably millions ) sold in an historic space      were corrupted and should be replaced free of charge. Hey, that's the worry free bit ! I employ people who need      to be paid! I didn't order their belighted hard drive!!
    3) Failing which I will link with another operator and retain my campaign for $repayment from APPLE.
    Accumulate.

  • Is there a 'how-to' anywhere about upgrading the hard drive?

    Hi Guys,
    I'd quite like to upgrade the hard drive in my 24 inch 3.06GHz iMac to 2TB. Is there a step-by-step 'how to' available anywhere or has anyone done it successfully?
    I've done laptops on many occasions but the iMac has a difficult looking case to crack!
    Thanks
    Rich

    Hi mate,
    Haha, no I have no preconceptions about firewire! My iMac has a 400 and an 800. The 800 is connected to a Sony DV video deck and the 400 is connected to a RAID drive that is then daisy-chained to another external firewire and a Wiebetech bare hard drive device that I just swap out various hard drives to for clients.
    I suppose I should really be looking at a tower, but I sold a G5 Quad to downsize to the smaller footprint iMac and have been happy with it's performance - but the new ones have more space and more RAM capability - it's just a shame they don't have the connectivity options of even this iMac.
    Cheers
    Rich

  • Least painful way to upgrade my hard drive if I don't want to use an image.

    I want to upgrade my hard drive and DO NOT want to restore from an image–mostly because there is fifteen years worth of crap on my current image so I want to start completely fresh and copy over only what I currently need.
    I bought the new drive. I have other drives with backup images on them.  I just downloaded DivXInstaller. Now that I have all of the parts I don't know what to do with them.
    What's the least painful way to do this?

    Missing a pretty big step here....  How does one install a new OS on an external drive?  You can't install an OS without first booting into an OS.  I don't have a disk to boot to, but have gotten as far as downloading the install software.  Perhaps the answer you should be providing is that I need to create an install disk somehow?
    Is not the current HDD in your MBP a boot drive?  If so and you have Yosemite installed, you can boot into the recovery partition.  From the 4 option menu you can use Disk Utility.  If you have the NEW HDD connected to the MBP it will appear in Disk Utility.  Click on that drive to format in Disk Utility>Erase.  After formatting, go to the 'Reinstall OSX' option and install the OSX onto the external HDD.  When finished swap the drives.

  • Im new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experincing a hard drive crash out of the blue, I lost everything. I want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I show backups for my iPhone and my daughter's iPod but my mac doesn't exist. How do I fix tho

    I'm new to the iCloud and Mac in general. After experiencing a hard drive that went out of the blue, I lost everything. I wanted to use the icloud to back my documents up. I went into the iCloud under settings but it only shows my iPhone and daughter's iPod. How do I get my Mac to back up too? Is there something I need to use to have the documents back up?

    You cannot back up your Mac to iCloud. Even backing the whole thing up to another online service would be dubious because it would take a very long time. You should buy an external hard disk and back up to that - even better, buy two and use one to make a Time Machine backup and the other to clone your Mac from time to time, thus giving you a backup from which you can boot in an emergency.
    If you wanted to back up a suitably sized selection of data to an online service there are a number of third-party methods available, some of which are examined here:

  • After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and itunes, it seems that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior..

    After replacing the hard drive on my G4 Powerbook and reinstalling Tiger I am no longer able to synch between itunes and my ipod (Classic 160gb) it would seem that the software on the ipod is of later date than itunes and I am unable to update itunes to the state prior to the original harddrive's failure for Tiger OSX 10.4.11
    Any ideas on the subject would be most helpful
    Thanks in advance

    The last security update released for Tiger users was the 2009-005 update. The latest version of QuickTime is 7.6.4. The last version of iTunes that can run on Tiger is 9.2.1, because 10.0 only supports Mac OS X Leopard and later.
    So, are you on version 9.2.1?
    Was it Tiger or Leopard you had on the drive before?
