ATTO Fiber Card?

Our Mac has ATTO fiber cards installed in the Mac Pro, its connected to a Storage Server. Which we are running fiber as our LAN Network. Can I use the network Utility to the Ping the Server using Fiber?
Thank you

It should work. I assume you don't have any other network connections being used (such as ethernet to a WAN). Regardless, you can't hurt anything by trying.

  • 2 Xraids 1 Fiber Card

    Hi,
    I wonder if you can help, I have currently 2 Servers hosting 2 seperate Xraid systems. However im about to lose the one server. I am upgrading the one Xraid Lun with new Drives and i need to copy the data back on to the new LUN on the upgraded Raid from the other Raid, there is a stock shortage of Fiber Cards, otherwise i would have used an additional card, so is there anyway for me to Connect the 1 raid with the Data (1 Volume) to the server and the new Volume to copy the data over safely ? its another 3 weeks till another fiber card will arrive and getting a fiber switch for 1 transfer of data isnt an option.
    Any Advice Please ?

    The other missing part is how the arrays are configured.
    With two XServe RAIDs, you actually have four separate controllers. In your current configuration this probably means two connected to Server A and two connected to Server B.
    The question is how do the servers use their two arrays. If they're mirrored you could just break the mirror and mount one half on RAID 1 and one half of RAID 2 on the server to copy the data - you'd need to be careful when you rebuild the mirror, though.
    If the RAIDs are striped, though, then you have a problem - you can't disconnect any of the RAIDs without losing data. In this case your only option is a second fiber channel card or a fiber channel switch so that you can connect both RAIDs to the same host.
    Since you have two servers, though, can't you move the fiber channel card in the second server into the first server? At least for the duration of combining the data?
    If not then your only other option is to transfer the data over the network. It'll take longer but may be the only way.

  • 100mbps multi-port fiber card for Sol10?

    Does anyone know of a multi-port fiber card (PCI) with Solaris 10 support that supports 100Base-FX ? We have a requirement to provide 4 such ports for a customer, and are having a tough time finding such a beast. We can use either quad-port or 2 dual-port cards, but we don't have enough available PCI slots to use 4 single-port cards.
    Basically, we're looking for something similar to this, but with support for Solaris 10:
    http://www.aei-it.com/hardware/fastenet/p430fx.htm
    We've been informed by the vendor that these only support up to Sol 8. We're working on getting eval units in, but are wondering if anyone has used anything similar in the past?
    Thanks!
    Eric

    Due to customer specification constraints, media converters/switches are unacceptable. :( First thing we thought of, too. Also, 3 of the 4 ports are connecting to 100mbps digital hardware boards via UDP, so the mixed speeds probably wouldn't work out if we were to use gigabit fiber.

  • Fiber Card failed

    Dear Guru
    Hope you may give me some information about the problem.
    Our company SAP is ECC6.0 running on AIX 5.3 with oracle database.
    Few day ago, the server log showed one of the fiber NIC card on our development server was failed. I already arranged the hardware vendor to come down to change the device next week, but before that, may anyone confirm with me whether the hardware key will be updated by replacing a new fiber NIC card? And do I need to reactiviate the SAP again?
    Thanks
    guodong

    Hi,
    If fiber card fails then hardware vendor has to play the key role. After he replaces the card he may have to change the WWN number at the EVA side . One he was able to mount the file systems with the same data then there is no need to check at SAP side. Only thing yo have to monitor the SAP application completely. Also check the run the DB verify in DB13 for any block corruptions.
    Thanks,

  • No fiber card + cable

    hi, today i installed the XServe 2 x 2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon along with XServe RAID 3.5TB..
    1st thing i did i open the RAID Admin and created a new array with RAID 5, i noticed that initializing is so slow and its taking forever to be ready, it goes 1% about every half an hour! is this normal?!
    2nd, i didnt order the Fiber card + Fiber cables with the XServe, -didnt know they are important for setting up-, and now i cant see the Drives, and not in disk utility... is there a way to format the HD's without fibers? using the ethernet?

    Maybe if you explain what you're trying to do it would be easier to give you advice that way. The XRAID has two controllers - one for each side. You'll need two cables if you use both sides simultaneously - but each card has 2 ports so you only need one card per RAID box.
    When you are talking about breaking the RAID into disks are you talking about making of the actual RAIDs or splitting sides into smaller slices using either LUNs or partitions?
    RAID 5 is an n-1 system so a 3 disk RAID only gives you 2 disks of storage so breaking a side into a 4 disk RAID 5 and another 3 disk RAID 5 doesn't make much sense because you're losing 2 disks worth of storage. If you want the protection of RAID 5 make either a 6 or 7 disk RAID 5 and then look into slicing it or partitioning it into smaller logical Volume sizes. Another note - the more disks you use in a RAID the faster it is so it is another argument for keeping as many disks in the RAID as possible.
    Whether you make a 6 or 7 disk RAID 5 is matter of choice. If you use 6 disks and a drive fails the "hot spare" will automatically be used by the RAID to rebuild the RAID. If you use all 7 disks and drive fails the RAID will not rebuild until you physically replace the drive and if another drive fails while it's waiting you loose the data from the RAID. Most people opt for the 6+1 configuration but if you want the extra 500GB and you back-up consistently the 7 drive isn't a terrible option. Because the controllers are separate you need a hot spare for each side if you want to go that route.
    If the Xserve is the only machine that will directly reference the RAID then the easiest way to make volumes from a RAID is partitioning. Once the RAID is done initializing you format it (presumably HFS+ w/ journaling) and partition it into as many volumes of whatever size you want. LUN masking is more restrictive because all the volumes need to be equally sized but it allows you physically mask off LUNs if more than one computer is "seeing" the RAID directly. If slicing the RAID in half is your goal then use whichever you're comfortable with - keeping future expansion in mind.
    Hope that helps. Good luck,

  • Cheapest place to purchase a Fiber card?

    Anyone know cheapest place to purchase a Fiber card PCI-E 2GB and mini Gbic's?

    I picked up the 4GB card PCI-x version for $299 on eBay. I always look there first. That one will fit in all of the servers I believe. Here is a link to the one I got...

  • OT (ish): ATTO raid card and Sonnet drive array won't mount

    Hi,
    It's slightly off topic I think, but the title says it all. My ATTO configuration tool says all is ok and all 8 drives are fine, but Finder doesn't show the drive array (8xdrives as RAID 5). ATTO support have told me how to manually mount the drives via a command line interface, but I'd really like to just turn the computer on and have them there on the desktop(!). While support is thinking about it, I was wondering if anyone had had anything similar and if they felt it was the OS as opposed to the PCI card? I'm running 10.4.11. Other drives (SATA and FW) mount fine.....
    Cheers!
    Todd.

    Complete re-install worked

  • Gigabit Fiber Card compatibility

    Could someone tell me if the following configuration will work?
    Gigabit Fiber NIC card in server connecting to a Gigabit Switch (Cisco Catalyst-6513 w/ WS-X6516-GBIC module) which connects to the primary 10/100 Switch.
    Thanks.

    Yes, that will work, but make sure you have the same flavour of Gigabit fiber in the NIC and the GBIC. Usually for a server NIC it will be 1000BaseSX.

  • XSAN FIBER CARD ON A QUAD G5

    Guys Is there away I could use my PCI-X Fiber Channel Card on the new Quad Mac G5?
    Thanks

    No. It will not physically fit in the machine.
    You need a PCI-Express version of the Apple Fibre Channel Card. They should be available on the Apple Store.

    we also tried the following:
    2.     We compared OS/driver versions on both ( Oracle VM and Oracle Linux ) machines.
    Here is the table:
    Hostname OS HBA version
    zil01gscapp01 Oracle VM server release 2.21 8.03.00.10.02.02_k
    zil01gscmgt01 Oracle Enterprise Linux release 5.5 ( Carthage ) 8.03.01.04.05.05_k
    From this comparison we concluded that VM server HBA driver should be upgraded.
    We have downloaded from the QLOGIC site driver version 8.03.01.06 ( see the link )
    http://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/QLogicDriverDownloads_UI/SearchByProduct.aspx?ProductCategory=39&Product=937&Os=65
    By installing driver we got following error:

    It looks like there is no kernel source in order to compile with the new driver, in other words Oracle VM comes wihout kernel source.

  • Problem with LUNs over Fiber

    We have recently installed a SAN but are having a few problems with the Solaris machines we are trying to connect to it.
    Hardware: LSI SAN with dual controler and 3 trays of 6x73Gb disks. Brocade fiber switch. A Sun V880 and a Sun E420 both with LSI40919O 2gb fiber cards. Both Solaris machines have resonably upto date patch clusters on them.
    I can create volumes on the SAN, create LUNs on these volumes, map them to individual hosts, and (assuming the relevant entries were in /kernel/drv/ssd.conf at boot time) I can see the LUNs when I run the 'format' command on the Solaris boxes. I can label, partition, format and mount slices from these disks.
    The problems occur when I want to delete or change a mapping. When I do this (delete a mapping between a LUN and a host for instance), on the Solaris box no matter what I do the disk changes to "drive type unknown". Running devfsadm (or drvconfg; devlinks; disks) has no effect. The disk is not manually configurable (it's not there after all). Only a reboot (boot -r) will actually remove the incorrect entries.
    Sample output from format:

    /pci@1f,2000/IntraServer,fc@1/ssd@0,5
    It is of course the last drive for which I removed the mapping. I can remake the mapping and the drive willonce again be available. I can add additional mappings and the new disks will be available (again assuming the relevent entry existed in /kernel/drv/ssd.conf at boot time). But any attempt to remove the mappings results in the above situation.

  • Atto UL5D won't see my scanner

    Hello everyone,
    I have installed my new Atto UL5D card into my MacPro (Early 2008). The Atto utility sees the card fine.
    However, I cannot get my scanner to appear within the 'system profiler'.
    I have tried various combinations of SCSI port, terminator and SCSI id.
    I am running OSX 10.6 and the latest versions of the Atto software.
    Any idea?
    Thanks!!!!
    George

    SCSI Busses use a Driver circuit similar to "Open Collector". It is pulled low (toward Zero Volts direction) when a device uses it, and left alone when unused, so that another device can pull it low to activate it. It requires a Terminator to coax it into the High Inactive state (near 5Volts). To make this work, some device somewhere on the Bus must supply 5 Volts onto a common wire called Termination Power. The Terminator picks that up to run its active circuits.
    The most common setup would be to turn on the Termination switch. It is worth a try. I am not sure that would be adequate, and it does not assure that there is Termination Power.
    A better setup would be to place an Active terminator on the second SCSI port, but a DB50 Active terminator may be hard to find. It still does not assure that there is Termination Power.
    The reason I am skeptical about Termination Power is that the scanner has a really tight power budget, and the designers may not have wanted to provide the extra power needed to run the Terminator.
    Another device that is not power-constrained, like a hard drive enclosure, was what I was thinking of to provide Termination Power.

  • What SCSI card with DELL PV110T 200GB LTO2 LC External tape and XServe G5?

    XServe G5 - Upgrading tape station...
    As is I'm using a DAT station but it is starting to misbehave so I would like to replace it with the
    DELL PV110T 200GB LTO2 LC External station.
    As is I´m using the ATTO, ExpressPCIProUL4D card.
    Can I continue to use that card or do I need another card.
    If I do need to switch which card would you recommend.
    TIA
    Hans

    The UL4D is, IMHO, the best card for the XServe G5. I've used them for years with no problems (unlike certain other vendors cards, who shall remain nameless).

  • Mac Pro w/ Fiber Channel, Can it sleep with XRaid attached?

    I wanted to know if the new mac Pro can fall asleep when it has an xraid attached via its fiber channel card.
    My Dual 2ghz G5 does not, this is why I'm asking.
    Your comments are welcomed.

    Not sure, but on the 'old' one,by design, NEITHER the Fiber card and Raid card will allow 'doze' but not 'deep sleep' of the Mac Pro in order to sustain connectivity, battery charge and redundancy, respectively.
    I doubt that changed.
    Anyone?

  • Could You Please Recommend a DLT and SCSI Card

    Hi,
    I've checked the forums thoroughly to see what DLT drives are best, and I'm considering buying a Compaq External 15/30 Gb DLT Tape Back-Up Drive from Ebay UK, but I can't find the ATTO SCSI card that is highly recommended.
    All the SCSI cards on Ebay UK are for Adaptec - which most of these threads say to avoid.
    I checked Ebay USA and although there are a few, I don't know which one would be right for this drive.
    I only want the drive for submitting DVD9 projects to a replicator so I assume I don't need a DLT drive any larger than the 15GB on offer. But is there any drive I would be better off buying other than the one I have mentioned?
    Can't find the 7000 series that so many people use.
    I'm using a Mac G4 867Mhz PowerPC and I have DVDSP 2.

    Instead of a SCSI card, i use a Belkin SCSI to Firewire adapter that works great. I think they have become pretty hard to find, but i think Ratoc makes one that could work.
    A quick ebay search for ATTO SCSI revealed many items compatible with your mac that ship world wide. Check Atto website for compatibility.
