Backup Controller cannot mount XSAN Volume

Hi Guys,
I've really have a big problem regarding the XSAN that I've just setup: There are 3 Xserves connected to the SAN - one for the main controller, one for backup and another one for fileserver. After a fresh install of the Leopard Server 10.5.6 on all servers and fresh install of Xsan 2.0 updated to 2.1.1, I tried creating an SAN from the main controller, I added first the main and backup controllers, authenticated them properly and was successful adding them to the SAN. After this, I created the volume and it mounted properly on the main controller. What I don't understand is that whenever I try to mount the volume to the backup controller, it is saying unable to mount and even I tried forcing it to mount in terminal using the command xsanctl mount VOLNAME, its giving me an error saying
"unable to mount volume, Cannot mount XSAN volume error code: 5"
What is that error message? When I tried typing cvadmin to the main controller, it only gave me this message:
Main Controller:
File System Services (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1>*XSAN[0] located on 10.0.0.101:49930 (pid 317)
Select FSM "XSAN"
When I type the same cvadmin to the backup controller, it gave me this message:
Backup Controller:
File System Service (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1> XSAN[1] located on 10.0.0.102:50384 (pid 331)
No FSSs are active
Select FSM "none"
What is happening? both servers are having a DNS name. Before I created the SAN, from the authenticate window, the server name is just the IP address of the Ethernet 0 (first ethernet port). Now whenever I fire up Xsan Admin, both controllers are now offline and if you authenticate them, the server name info suddenly changed from IP address to a DNS Name (e.g. from 194.170.34.12, changed to hct-mdc.ad.hct.ac.ae) which even if I type my admin username and password cannot authenticate saying "server not found in network"
I really don't know now what to do and they need to fix the issue asap.
I would really appreciate your help guys!
Thanks.

Hi,
I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
"sudo ipfw list" shows this:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
65535 allow ip from any to any
Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
Thanks.

  • Oddball client not mounting XSan Volumes

    Background: My client, a TV News broadcast station, had Apple and a third-party design and install a Apple based XSan storage and network. They ran all new fiber and gigabit ethernet to each station to use the XSan. It has been working great, with the exception noted below.
    Setup: 2 MD Controllers, 1 XServe, 4 XRaids, each make up two 2 large TB volumes (raid 5, stripped together).
    XServe, XRAID, MD controllers, and all clients are all connected together on a Fibre and Fiber Optic network using QLogic switches. SUBNET: 10.200.1.x.
    Ethernet Network, also connected all the above together on HP Gigabit Switches. SUBNET: 10.100.1.x The public WAN is made available on this subnet by a connection to the HP switches. Still getting details on how this was done.
    Everything is running OS X 10.4.8 or better, XSan File System 1.4.
    Setup
    There are 8 workstations (edit bays) that act as infusion and editing stations. Each station has two XSans volumes mounted NEWS01 and NEWS02. They have the odd numbered bays use NEWS01 and the even numbered bays use NEW02.
    PROBLEM
    All bays mount the XSan volumes, except one. FCP08 will not mount the XSan volumes. We have rebooted the workstation, and even went to the extreme of shutting down the entire setup all bays and MD controllers, File Servers, etc.. then bringing everything backup up. Same problem.
    Based on some forum discussion, we have tried the following:
    * Ensured that there is no empty mount point in /Volumes
    * Uninstalled all XSan Software and resinstalled v1.4 from Apple's website.
    * Removed the client from the XSan Admin, and readded it, made sure to enter valid serial number, etc..
    * Verified that all fibers are working, all link lights look good, and you can ping across the MD network.
    When you use the XSan admin from either FCP08 (edit bay 08) or from the server, and you add both MD XSans to it, you see the client, and you click on the client and click either Mount (read-only) or Mount (Read/write).
    It will show "Mounting..." and then it will flip back to "not mounted". The only feedback we have received so far is "ACCESS DENIED". All affinity setting are set to rwxrwxrwx (wide open), and all the volumes and workstation logins all have the same access to the volumes. I can not find any restrictive permissions anywhere.
    I plan on trying to move them away from a /etc/hosts type setup to a proper DNS Server running on their XServe using the DNS Server function of OS X Server. But currently all edit bay stations have the same /etc/hosts file installed, which accounts for MD and ethernet networks.
    ANY IDEAS what is wrong with this workstation? With the setup?
    I have had extreme ideas from some who have said that we need to blitz the entire client, and reinstall the operating system. I am not willing to go down that route, since each edit bay was built manually without an image (another aspect I will remedying soon). It will take sometime to rebuild this edit bay client if I that is the only solution.
    The only this question I have if that is the popular opinion, is what is different from a client OS install and the existing one regarding the XSan? This are edit bays, not private workstations, and no one installs any extra software or surfs the net, etc.. They are used for ingest and editing only.
    HELP!
      Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Hi,
    You could check if it is Fibre Channel related:
    from a terminal do a cvlabel -l
    this should give you a list of the lun's in your volume.
    When this tool does not show luns, you might have a zoning issue.

  • Unable to mount XSAN volume on client workstation

    We just reimaged one of our machines and we are now unable to mount the xsan volume. Originally when the machine hooked up the IP was wrong and the XSAN couldn't see it. This has been fixed and the XSAN sees it now and it is authenticated, but when we try to mount the volume we get this error
    Jan 26 13:54:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error reading computer properties: kOfflineError (0)

    The *'s was the name of the machine, apple has been little to no help. We have tried removing the machine form the XSAN and then adding it back in, same issue. Tried reinstallingt eh client, same issue. Any ideas?

    This is the error on server

  • Cannot Mount Boot Volume

    My iBook G4 stopped booting properly this morning. I was installing the Adobe After Effects CS3 trial when the screensaver came on after a while, but when I moved the mouse to deactivate it, the authentication dialog did not appear as usual, so I force shut down the iBook. However, it subsequently failed to boot properly (i.e. does not boot past the grey/blue screen with the spinner). At the time of malfunction, I had an external hard disk and a disk image mounted.
    I booted from the Mac OS X Install CD, but Disk Utility was unable to mount my boot volume (though it could show the volume information and verify the disk) to fix permissions. I also tried booting in single user mode; upon typing the command "mount -uw /", I got the following error messages:
    jnl: replay_journal: from: 301568 to: 7035904 (joffset 0x41e000)
    disk0s9: I/O error.
    jnl: updatefsblock: failed to update block 6026 (ret 5)
    jnl: journal_open: Error replaying the journal!
    Aug 27 17:54:11 launchd: chown ("/var/launchd/0"): Read-only file system
    Aug 27 17:54:11 launchd: chown ("/var/launchd/0"): Read-only file system
    mount_hfs: Invalid argument
    Hence, I suspect the problem may have something to do with disk journaling, which is enabled on my boot volume. I am quite sure that the volume itself is working fine, since I was able to access my data when it mounted as read-only in single user mode.
    Does anyone here know of a possible solution to my problem? I would prefer to avoid a clean install of OS X. I do, however, have a recent back-up (created by Carbon Copy Cloner) on hand. Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Liza

    Does anyone know of a possible solution? This tip looked promising, but my iBook G4 only starts up in Mac OS X (i.e. cannot boot OS 9). Neither can an OS 9 computer read the iBook's hard disk, since I did not select the option to install Mac OS 9 Disk Drivers when formatting it. I have also tried DiskWarrior, but to no avail.
    Since I have a back-up of the disk on hand, I want to reformat the disk, but I cannot accomplish this using Disk Utility when I boot from the Mac OS X Install CD. Do I need any special software?
    Thanks.

  • Cannot mount Truecrypt volume (device-mapper error)

    Command failed
    I am getting the same error with my custom kernel and with stock Arch Linux kernel; what can it be? Can somebody please help me to narrow down this issue?
    Thanks

    Ehm..I am trying to mount the device (/dev/sdb3), not the mapper! Although I can see that with file-based truecrypt container the mapper gets mounted. Shan't truecrypt create the mapper and mount that for me in case I select a device?
    This is the information of the two mappings created (2_0 and 2_1 since I had already mounted a file-based container):

    None of them gets mounted after I get the mentioned error; maybe truecrypt is expecting a dm feature which I have not enabled in my kernel?

  • I cannot mount my hard drive volume!

    Began a standard install of OS 9.2.2 and then my hard drive icon disappeared from the desktop. I opened drive setup from the utilities folder of the 9.2.2 cd and I cannot mount the volume no matter what. I can only start up from the cd holding down the c key and that's as far as I can go. Is this it for this powerbook? Trash time? HELP!

    monkybiz,
    If initialization failed, there is a problem with the HD. However, there is a process that may correct the problem or it will definitively tell you the HD is bad. HDs can fail at any time so it just may be coincidence the problem arose when trying to install software.
    Since initializing the HD failed, apparently the computer can now see the HD. Boot to your MacOS 9.x CD and open the folder that says Utilities and launch Drive Setup. Highlight your HD's name in the window, then move up to the menu bar. Under Functions, select Initialization Options, then check the box for 'zero all data'. Also select MacOS Extended Format when that window appears. When the process has completed (it will take awhile), select 'Test Disk' under Functions (it will also take a while). If zeroing fails or Test Disk fails, try again to zero and then run Test Disk.
    If successful, install software; if the above fails, your HD is hosed. By the way, once Drive Setup has been launched, Drive Setup Help is available from the menu bar.

  • Backup controllers are mounted but Admin says Unreachable!

    Hi,
    I have just finished upgrading our complete system. Everything has had a clean install, Raids reformatted, Fibre switch reset, cables were left alone as the old Xsan was working fine ie everything was talking.
    Having setup the Xsan2 on the main controller all seamed fine, every client and controller has mounted the volumes permissions all set etc.
    Now... in Xsan Admin the two backup controllers now say they are unreachable but still mounted, I can not make if failover, whereas 10mins earlier I could.
    Any ideas.... Apple support not much help so far.

    Does cvadmin on each controller or client say the same thing? Can you failover with cvadmin, or not at all (no other controllers seen)? Are the config files the same on each? Metadata network still working and pingable?

  • Cannot mount volume

    Hi
    I have a server connected to a MDC.

  • Xsan2.2 client cannot mount StorNext3.5.2 volume

    Hello,
    On an OSX 10.6.4 system , I am trying to mount a Stornext3.5.2 filesystem, whose MDC is a Linux system.
    On the MAC I can see all the LUNs,
    I can somehow see the fylesystem:
    +sh-3.2# xsanctl list+
    +snfs01 - not mounted+
    I cannot mount it:
    +sh-3.2# xsanctl mount snfs01+
    +mount command failed: Unable to mount volume `snfs01' (error code: 5)+
    I would like to know what +error code: 5+ means, and whether anybody can help me in mounting the filesystem.

    Apple's XSAN enterprise support claims error code 5 is proprietary.
    Quite frustrating.
    From our experience with the same set up (RHEL MDCs running Storenext 3.5.x) typically error code 5 on clients after an xsanctl mount command means: reboot the computer and try again.. the computer will automount the san volume(s) 60% of the time.
    mcacciagrano- have you had any success deciphering what error code 5 is actually a complaint about?
    It is not a unique serial number issue (verified through the system's config.plist).
    It's not a fibre issue (we can see the LUNs)
    It's NOT a ghosted mount point folder issue (from early xsan days)
    It IS a (VERY COSTLY) annoyance, that's for sure.

  • XSAN volumes mount RW, but ROOT is locked out.

    I am mounting several clients to the XSAN, and the volumes mount as RW through the admin, and the get info shows them as RW mounts, but additional info says 'you can only read' and there is a small lock illustration on the drive icon after mounting. Using terminal ADMIN, I can not write to the root of the drive, but previously created folders work as RW. Using one of the volumes as the FCP scratch disk, and it will not work, but use the folder inside the volume works. Have tried resetting permissions, restarting the volume(s) and the controller. Nothing has helped. I did have one client with possibly corrupted data (bad HDD) that was crashing at the time of this beginning. Any thought will be appriciated, as I have not been able to find anything on it yet.

    I would say that read only access at the root level of your XSan volume would be preferable, at least it is in the environment that we are working. This prevents anyone but an administrator from placing folders at the root level, meaning that you can control affinity assignment, whereas any local user that would create a folder on the root level would have no affinity assignment. In our environment, where we're working with multiple shows at a time and 52 TB of total storage, affinity assignments become absolutely crucial for file management.

  • Time Machine cannot mount remote backup disk (ReadyNAS NV+)

    Hello,
    I own a ReadyNAS NV+ which I use as an external backup. It has a "Time Machine" backup daemon, so the iMac see's it over network. I used it for a couple of months without issues.
    A couple of days ago I had to change the physical location of ReadyNAS. Now there are 2 switches between my iMac and the readyNAS.
    Since I changed the physical position of the ReadyNAS I try to backup using time machine but it's not possible. Time machine hangs up when trying to up at "Making Backup Disk Available". Using the terminal I can clearly see that AFP has issues mounting the disk:

    Finally Time Machine exists with error "Backup disk cannot be accessed. error 109".
    Can someone give me a hint or two on how to solve this issue?
    regards

    Not a NAS-specific issue.  The OS is trying to read a block of the sparse disk image, and the read is failing.  Basically, the sparse bundle is damaged.  You'll need to rename it and then try backing up again to a clean sparse bundle.
    That said, make sure you're running a version of the ReadyNAS firmware that actually supports Time Machine.  There are several AFP commands that were added for Time Machine that *must* be supported for correct operation, and older AFP implementations did not implement them.  The reconnect errors suggest to me that maybe the firmware you are running doesn't support the Reconnect UAM, in which case it probably also doesn't support the replay cache, etc.  If that's the case, then things probably won't work correctly without a firmware update even after you fix the corrupted sparse bundle.
    Edit: actually, on further searching, it might be a NAS-specific issue.  Certain buggy network switches do not properly support jumbo frames in mixed networks, which can cause read errors similar to what you are seeing when working with AFP.  (This might have been your post on the other board.)  In the Network prefs pane, choose Ethernet, click "Advanced", click the Ethernet tab, change Configure to Manually, and set the MTU to Standard (1500).

  • My time machine keeps saying the backup disk cannot be mounted. how do I fix it?

    my time machine keeps saying that the backup disk cannot be mounted.  we cannot figure out why this is happening.  We have a 500GB time capsule /wireless router and using a Macbook .  any ideas?

    Try deleting your iPod Photo Cache folder.  See:

  • Can't mount 3rd party DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously

    Xsan client(MacPro) equipped an Apple FC HBA card can't mount SGI TP9300 DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously when powering on or restarting.
    Among 2 FC ports, one port is used for Xsan volume using Xserve RAID, and the other port is used for SGI TP9300 storage which is directly connected to that Mac.
    When booting, Xsan volume is always mounted normally, but SGI TP9300 volume is not.
    Sometimes TP9300 volume is mounted about 20~30 minutes later.(I attached system.log file)
    The LUN of TP9300 is seen at Disk Utility, so it's not physical problem.
    It seems that actual volume information is not correctly processed at booting time.
    While, after booting the system with the FC cable for TP9300 disconnected and confirming that Xsan volume mounted normally, then connecting the FC cable for TP9300, the TP9300 volume is mounted immediately.
    Mac OS X 10.4.8, Xsan 1.4 is being used.

    Yes, I think you screwed your xsan volume. You can not remove luns from pools, and you can not remove volumes from volumes.
    How important is your existing data? In your case I would concentrate on that. This is not trivial. Theorotically you have lost your data allready. In practise you might have luck.
    Once I was in your kind of twilight zone, and managed to keep the data. It is a complete cli job. You have to be very carefull about with your config files. You could hire an experienced xsan consultant. If that is not possible, read the manpages very carefully before doing anything on the volume.
