Can't access ex495 mediasmart server

My HP EX495 media smart server is runnng Windows Home Server.  The device went off-line the other day and I could not connect to the device through ethernet nor USB.  The nick has a solid green light and a flashing yellow lignt.  My guess is it is sending out a signal but not receiving one.  Any idea how to fix the problem?  I've tried rebooting; sending WOL messages; reseating the drives; but still can not access it.
Any guidance would be apprciated.  Thank you.

Try this? HP MediaSmart Server EX490 - Solution to LAN going offline at boot-up ‎05-18-2013 03:09 AM After swapping out a defective Netgear router, I started to experience problems with my MediaSmart server going offline immediately after boot-up. I could also see from the router stats that the EX490 established an Ethernet connection at 10Mbps when powered off, but not following boot-up. I could even use WOL to start the server, but it would drop the LAN connection shortly afterwards, without ever coming online. I tried various Cat-5 cables and 3 different routers, but I could not get the aqua LAN LED to stay on for more than about 30 seconds after boot. I could see the yellow LED on the RJ45 NIC port flash very occasionally, but that was about it. I managed to establish a PC to EX490 direct connection and so could get into the server via Remote Desktop, which again suggested there was nothing fundamentally wrong with the NIC port or cables. I tried upgrading the Realtec PCIe driver to no effect, checked there were no conflicting LAN addresses, DHCP services, etc., etc., and even considered doing a server rebuild. Eventually, I found a solution that works for me. Using the peer-to-peer LAN connection and Remote Desktop, go to the EX490 Device Manager, select the Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Properties, Advanced Tab and scroll down through the Property window to Speed and Duplex. Change Auto Negotiation to 100Mbps Full Duplex, save and reboot the server. It seems in my case that the EX490 is no longer coping with negotiating connection to a Gigabit LAN (still not sure why), but slowing the card down to 100Mbps is giving me a rock-solid connection. I hope this post will help others who may be contemplating using their MediaSmart as an expensive bookend or doorstop.

  • Deploying Jira using Weblogic 10.3 - Can't access new jira server

    I was able to install WL 10.3, create a new domain named, 'atlassian', and add a new server to that domain named 'jira'. I add a datasource to 'jira' then deployed jira via a .war to the new server. By default the new domains AdminServer comes up and is accessable via port 7001/console, but the managed server, jira requied that I start nodemanger before it would allow me to start 'jira' sever. Now, jira sever, datasource and app are all running, but I can not access via URL.
    The Jira Server is running on port 7011, but I get a 404 when attempting to connect to http:\\<myserver>:7011 or http:\\<myserver>:7011\jira. Any ideas here are appreciated since Jira is not certified on 10.3, they aren't much help.

    Atlassian has pretty good user forums, you might be able to get additional help there:

    Does the deployment screen show it has "Running". What does the deployment screen for the app show its context root as?
    Also, why not just JIRA standalone? (it comes out of the box running in embedded tomcat).

    I can be working along on a number of my sites, all hosted on the Sydney server, when all of a sudden I can't access any front or back end of my sites, but at the same time I can get onto other non BC sites without and issue.

  • Domain Joined Workstations Can't Access Internet When Server is Off

    I have two Windows 7 Ultimate workstations joined to a server running Server 2012 R2 Foundation.  Whenever the Server is powered off the workstations can't access the internet via a web browser from neither a domain account nor a local
    account, even though the network icon in the system tray indicates "Internet Access".
    Is this a normal situation, or am I missing some settings?  This is a big problem because there are times when the server will be off, but the workstations still need to be able to work in a web browser.
    I'd be very grateful for a solution to this problem.
    Capt. Dinosaur

    Hi again SenneV, and thanks for the fast response; I wish the Dell community would get back even half that quickly.
    "No i mean that after a while, the nla status icon on system tray will no longer state there is internet acces while there isn’t."
    I was afraid that's what you meant, but I wanted to find out for sure.
    "I would recommend doublechecking the bios and management ui for power options as I cannot imagine a server that would not be configurable to boot after power loss."
    I couldn't imagine that either, but I've checked several time, and unless the setting is in Aramaic or mentioned in the Rosetta Stone, I couldn't find a setting for that.  There is a setting for restarting after a crash,
    but not just for a return after a power failure.  I have the server on a battery backup so that it doesn't crash when a power failure occurs, but I can't even coax the server to restart after power is restored.
    The server is a Dell PowerEdge T110 II, and it has BMC in the BIOS in which I've made all the necessary settings.  Unfortunately BMC doesn't have a web GUI like IDRAC, and only (supposedly) responds to IPMI.  However, I've not been able to get
    that to work either.  I've downloaded Intel's "ipmiutil" and installed it on one of the workstations and the server, but I can't get the utilities to work.  I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. 
    I've posted questions on the Dell Community, but as yet (after almost a week) not a peep out of anyone there.  I guess I'll have to contact Dell Tech Support.
    Anyhoo, thank you for your help.  I do appreciate it.
    P. S.  I tried logging into the workstations via LogMeIn while the server was shut down, and guess What!  It worked.  I was able to access both workstations even though the server wasn't running.  Now, if I can just get IPMI/BMC to work,
    my problem w/be solved.

  • ApplicationLifeCycleListener can't access Runtime MBean Server

    Hi all,
    I have encountered quite a strange behaviour in Weblogic 9.0. I am actually trying to deploy an application originally developed on Weblogic 9.2 to Weblogic 9.0. Everything works fine, except the ApplicationLifeCycleListener. The Post Start method tries to register MBeans to the Runtime MBean Server and deregisteres them when the application stops in Pre Stop. In Weblogic 9.2, it works fine. I can access the MBean Server with a local connection as described here: [url http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs90/jmx/accessWLS.html#1119237]
    The documentations on this for WL 9 and WL 9.2 do not differ significantly. Anyway, WL 9 quits any attempt to make local connections to the Runtime MBean Server with an Exception:
    javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to look up comp/env/jmx/runtime in .; remaining name 'comp/env/jmx/runtime'
    It works when I move the establishment of a connection into an EJB. I suppose that the ApplicationLifeCycleListener just can't see the Runtime MBean Server in Weblogic 9.0.
    What do I do wrong? :-)
    Thanks,
    S?ren

  • Can't access Software Update Server

    I have 3 macs in my house, all connected to a wireless router. 2 of them have no problem using Software Update. The third returns the message:
    "Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the internet, then try again."
    I know that I am connected to the internet. Is there some setting, software firewall, that is preventing me from accessing the update server?

    I even pulled my boot drive, installed it in an external firewire case, attached it to an iMac that has no problem with software update. Then I booted the iMac with the external drive and now it can't access SU from that drive. I deleted SU preferency from the Library, but it didn't work.

  • With Mountain Lion Server, can users access the Messages Server from outside your network?

    I would like to setup a new messaging service between my employees because we have issues with most online services. I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini Server, so I can run Messages Server, but I have an employee outside my network. Can they login to the server remotely to use the Messages Server?
    Thanks

    If you're talking about setting up and using the Jabber messaging service provided by OS X server then yes, it's really easy to set up and use in and out of the office. The only trick it is, and also most other services, is a correct DNS setup so you're able to connect and use the server from the "outside".
    I use this myself (via Lion server rather than Moutain Lion server) from behind a dynamic IP addressed ADSL line and have no problems whatsoever.

    The best way around firewalls is to stream using port 80. This is a preference setting in QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster. This will allow the stream to pass through the hole in the firewall usually used for HTML (web page) traffic. HOWEVER, you cannot use this port if you are also running web server services (Apache) on the same computer/server since they need to use port 80 also. If you need to host a web site AND stream QuickTime using port 80, you will need two computers (or at least two IP addresses; one for each service which is a little tricky. If both services are trying to use port 80, weird things will happen, most often the HTML data will rule and the streams won't work. This has been my experience. Good luck!

  • [SOLVED] Can't access my home server from the outside

    Hi all,
    I have installed Arch on a Raspberry Pi and am trying to set up a home server. Right now, I am running a simple HTTP server (using node.js, if that matters) on port 8080. From my LAN, I can access the server all right.
    From the outside, it seems that the traffic does actually reach the computer (I conclude this from the blinking diode indicating network traffic). However, all requests time out. Interestingly, if I kill the server while a request is pending, the timeout occurs right away.
    I have no idea what is causing this. I have checked for iptables rules, but there seem to be none. What is blocking the traffic and how can I find out?
    EDIT: Nevermind, I was testing incorrectly -- the traffic did reach the Raspberry Pi, but the return traffic did not reach my test computer because it was blocked by the router's firewall. Testing from TOR works just fine.
