Can not attach older iSCSI lun to repository

I am a current Virtual Iron user and have set up OVM to replace my aging system. I have everything set up on some new hardware and up to a point where I want to set up some VMs.
I have an older VM under Virtual Iron I am no longer using, so I thought this would be a good test subject.
I assigned both my OVM servers to the volume in my iSCSI san.
The SAN and volume show correctly within the storage tab.
I have rescanned for physical disks on each server and found the volume.
I can not create a VM just using the physical disk....I wants me to use a repository...
Ok, so I tried to create a repository using the existing volume that contains my server....no go...get this error
(10/16/2012 12:38:54:518 PM)

Looks like it will not use the volume because something is on it.
In Virtual Iron, I could use a virtual storage (repository), local disks, or iSCSI luns for my VMs.
So how am I to use my older server within OVM?

Ok. Found that someone else was having similar problems....
Oracle VM Manager 3.1.1: Discovering SAN Servers
My solution was to scrap the whole thing....and start over with the new beta 3.2.1. (build 258) This has given me the ability to see all my SANs now.

  • Can not Upload PDF in MDM data repository

    Hi, expert,
    when I upload the PDF in MDM data manager, the system error log is :
    Unable to open Adobe Acrobat.
    See your administrator about installing Adobe Acrobat.
    But, when I upload the image, the status is success..
    I do not know if it is Adobe Acrobat installing problem or I miss some configuration or it can not upload the PDF into MDM repository..
    Your help would be really appreciated.
    thanks & Best Regards,

    Hi,
    Can you open the PDF without any error? Is Adobe Acrobat installed on the server where the repository is loaded?

  • Why can not attach photo from iPad

    I can not attach photo to my email?
    I can not crop image for Facebook profile picture

    Start in the Photos app and then select the photos that you want to attach to an email - in full screen view tap the icon at the top of the screen of the box with the arrow coming out of it and select Email Photo; in thumbnail view after tapping that same icon you can select up to 5 photos and then tap the Email button top left.
    In terms of cropping photos the free Adobe Photoshop Express app allows cropping: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-express/id331975235?mt=8
    There are a number of facebook apps that you can use to upload photos to Facebook e.g. the 'official' facebook app : http://itunes.apple.com/in/app/facebook/id284882215?mt=8 (it's optimised for the iPhone but you can upload photos via it), and Friendly For Facebook : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/friendly-for-facebook/id400169658?mt=8

  • HT6114 why i can not attach new pdf files  to my email

    why i can not attach new pdf files  to my email ?

    If you aren't getting the reset link on the Password & Security section of your account then you don't have a rescue email address (an alternate email address is different), and you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions - you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support :  https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then add a rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

  • Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto file?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  I can not upload pictures to software like Shutterfly for the same reason.

    Why has iTunes taken over the iPhoto function?  I can not attach pictures to files because I can not find them.  This has happened suddenly as if there were some keystrokes that changed the previous pattern. I am not able to upload pictures to programs such as Shutterfly because I can not find them.  When I try to upload, the computer takes me to an iTunes folder.

    How are you uploading?

  • Can not attach documents or files to email along with lots of other problems

    I can not attach any files or documents to an email. I am working on a Mac OS10.4.

  • Can not attach files

    I can not attach files in my emails. I have to use web mail which I do not like.
    I select attachment in mac mail and nothing happens.
    This is really a pain.
    Help
    Thanks

    Not sure why this problem exist but reinstalling just Macmail will most likely not solve the problem.
    If "Cocobop" deleted the "com.apple.mail.plist"? This is kinda the same as a reinstall. Mac applications do not normally just go bad. The answer may be in a reinstall of OSX or an "Archive and Install" of OSX.
    But to those reading this post try deleting the "com.apple.mail.plist" first.
    And yes the answer to your question... You can reinstall only the Macmail app.

  • I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    I can not attach any files to email or Facebook. When I go to "browse" the window comes up and disappears immediately. I updated browser and Adobe Flash. Restarted computer and zapped pram. any ideas? Please help!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Can not attach files to email, can't reply to or forward selected emails.

    I've seen others post this problem, but have not been able to find the solution. What has happened is I suddenly cannot attach any files... pdfs, jpgs, docs or anything to my emails. Also, when I hit the reply or forward button on some emails that I have received, nothing happens. On a few, a reply or forward window does open, but there is no rhyme or reason to why some work and some don't. At any rate, I can't attach any files to any of my mail.... new ones, ones I'm trying to reply to or anything. I've seen that others have had this problems occur, but I have not found a solution based on any of the replies. Oh! The other thing is that its only happening on one of my computers. I have an older G4 that has the same mail setup and everything works fine. Its only on my G5 that this happens. I've tried tossing some preferences as suggested from some of the other posts, but still the same. Help me!

    How crazy would it be...
    OOPs, you don't want to ask me... I always resort to crazy things when nothing else works!
    Quit Mail. First I'd backup your whole Mail folder. Right click on it, choose Archive. Move the Mail.zip to a safe place. Only the plist will be separate.
    Try dragging this file to the Desktop, (in case we need to put it back), first, then logout/in, reconfigure your account required on this one...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    If that doesn't work, now that you're all backed up & can get back where you are now... give it a rtry!

  • Can not remove older version on windows 7 PC?

    How do I remove an older version of iTunes on my windows 7 PC? I can not install iTunes unless I do this? Thanx, Dan.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Why can i only select one LUN for repository creation from the list of LUNs

    1) have successfully created a server pool with heartbeat/cluster lun of 15GB storage
    2) Now trying to create repositories for VMs - Unable to select more then 1LUN per repository - we have a requirement of over 14TB and have 1TB per LUN does this mean we will require 14 repositories??? Please help
    Thanks in advance

    right....It seems as though we will have to have 1TB LUNs per Repository, one question that comes to mind is that is it possible for a single VM to use more then one repository any ideas... ??
    so for example if a VM needs to utilise remaining free space from a LUN is this possible or if a VM needs a bigger partition then 1TB can we use 2 x repositories to build this partition?? as we have max 1TB LUNs from storage.
    Or will we have to request a amendment to the size of LUNs to increase to 2TB from storage? 2TB being max supported to a repository
