Can't admin XserveRAID

I have:
Xserve G5, PowerPC G5 (3.0), 1x2 GHz, L2 Cache (per CPU):512 KB,
memory 2.5 GB, Bus Speed: 1 GHz, Boot ROM Version: 5.1.7f1
And a full RAID, (sorry, I can't gather specific info on it).
Everything is connected to both a FC switch, (QLogic 5200), and ethernet.
For some reason I can't administrate my XserveRAID. I can see it and add it but then I get the forever spinning "Gathering info" messege. And when I try to apply settings, nothing happens. I've tried configuring the network setting both manually and using DHCP. No effect.
Am I missing something?

A situation can develop where the Admin looses its ability to talk to the RAID - I've had it happen to me. The first question is always about firmware version and matching RAID Admin versions.
Assuming you have the latest of both you will need to reset the RAID in order to re-establish communications with it. At least it never came back for me over 2+ months. See the details on resetting it here. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86367
It was annoying for me but the RAID just hummed along so I waited until I could reset it without disrupting too much and since then (~5 months) everything's been fine.
Good luck,

Is there any way I can request admin to delete my own thread?

Hi,
Is there any way I can request admin to delete my own thread?

I think this is not possible.
But why you want to delete an own thread?

Can the Admin Tool be run as a standalone app?

Can the Admin Tool run without logging into a Dispatch Workstation?

Yes it can.
In fact you actually side step licensing issues by doing this because "technically" you are
not running a dispatcher workstation and therefore don't need to pay for another license.
The file to run is usually located in: DispatchStation\AdminTools and is called: ResourceManager.exe
You would need to take EVERYTHING from the AdminTools directory to run the tool.
You'd also want to make sure that the config file: ResourceManager.exe.config still makes
sense for the machine that you are on.
One word of caution: Running the Admin tool stand-alone is not really encouraged. Not a lot
of testing has been done in this regard and you may run into issues that have not been
seen when the admin tool is run as part of the dispatcher workstation.
I'm not sure if the stand-alone admin tool is even officially supported.
I CAN say that much of the functionality that you see from the too when it is run as part of the DW
does work when it is stand-alone, just don't expect 100%.

Can sys admins backup Raw devices?

Platform: Solaris 5.10
DB versions : 11g
Since raw devices are not OS formatted can sys admins backup raw devices ? If they can't , then, that means we have to rely entirely on RMAN backups for our RAC DBs. Right?

If they can't , then, that means we have to rely entirely on RMAN backups for our RAC DBs. Right?That should be the preference. As backup of a raw device using dd does not guarantee a database or cluster that can be restored - as other processes are/can be writing data to it, while dd is reading from it to backup. It does not have the same management and control features, and flexibility, of rman.
Not using rman would be a mistake IMO.

Have a Mini with "Default User" account. Can an admin account be created instead of using that?

I purchased an Early 2009 Mini on eBay. The seller reinstalled Leopard on it (that's what it came with) after erasing his stuff on it. He put "Default User" as the user name, but no password. He said for security that I should make an account with a password.
When I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I thought it would have an option to create a user name and password. It didn't. Can I make up another user account as the administration account; then use a third user account for documents, pics, etc. (not to disturb the admin account) and forget using the "Default User" account?
I really hate to take the time to erase and reinstall Leopard and Snow Leopard just to remove the "Default User" account.
Thanks.

In order to create another account the account you are using needs to have admin privileges. Does it? If so you unlock the Accounts prefpane by clicking the lock in the lower left and entering the admin password (hence the reason the account you're using needs to be an administrator). Then you can create other accounts and click the checkbox for an account that says "Allow user to administer this computer".
Not you can change the admin password for an account by using booting from your installer disk.
Now having said all that are you currently in a state where you have a single account that is not an admin account?

How can JAZN admin tool manage application realms?

I am using the JAZN XML provider for the OC4J server realm and for another realm packaged in an application EAR file, i.e.:
server realm: j2ee/home/config/jazn-data.xml
application realm: j2ee/home/application-deployments/<app name>/jazn-data.xml (unpackaged from the EAR file).
As far as I can tell, the JAZN admin tool (java -jar jazn.jar ....) can only manage one of these at a time, and ONLY the one coded into j2ee/home/config/jazn.xml.
QUESTIONS:
1) Is there a way to manage the application realm via the JAZN admin tool without first modifying the jazn.xml file? For obvious reasons, modifying that file in an active OC4J installation is not a viable option.
2) I have not tried managing these yet with the Oracle Enterprise Manager. Does that tool have the same limitation (i.e. can't manage the application realm)?
OBSERVATION:
1) The JAZN admin tool is hardcoded to use the path "/j2ee/home/config/jazn.xml" for its config file. This is pretty weak! You could at least have a command line argument to tell which jazn.xml file to use.

Scott,
There is a way to manage application realms using the JAZN admin tool - unfortunately, we didn't document it in this release. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and we'll fix it in the docs.
Generally, it is recommended to use OEM, which will indeed let you manage application realms.
If you want to use the JAZN admin tool, you'll need to do the following:
1. Create an application-specific "jazn.xml" file which simply points to the local jazn-data.xml file or equivalent. (See the global/server jazn-data.xml for reference).
2. Make sure that the local (app specific) jazn-data.xml file has the RealmLoginModule defined towards the end. (See the global/server jazn-data.xml for reference).
3. Bring up the JAZN admin tool defining the application jazn.xml. Ex:
"java -Doracle.security.jazn.config=application-deployments/callerInfo/jazn.xml -jar jazn.jar -listusers"
Thanks,
-Lee

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can a admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with PowerShell

With Multi-Factor Authentication ENABLED how can office 365 admin connect remotely to manage Office 365 with Power-Shell ?
When I key-in my credentials, auth fails with invalid username and password ?
Does any know the procedure ?

This question was closed over a year ago. You will need to start a new question. You can post a link back here if you think it helps.
I also recommend asking in the O365 developers forum for how to do bulk license upgrades. You can use the answer here and just remove and then add the new license.

Can local admin users override mcx?

Can a local admin user override managed computer settings? ie, the "automatically hide dock" is set to hide in mcx, but a local admin wants to "always show".
Is this possible?

Why can't Admin Users see what I've given them permission to see?

I have a Secure Zone set up on my client's site and have set them up with 3 admin users and given them permissions to view and edit the secure zones. However, when their Admin Users go in to the Admin Console and click on Site Manager they can only see Web Forms and System Emails. What's going wrong?

Does not sound like you have set up the roles correctly.

Can local admin change the root password in Mavericks

One of my people and I keep going back and forth with this question. I remember reading somewhere (cannot find it now) that in 10.9 Apple changed it, so a local admin could not longer change the root password if it has been enabled by the IT group.

AFAIK, any admin account user can set/change the root password. See OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user for details. If you or IT don't trust your people, don't give them admin privileges.

Canned DBA Admin script difficulties

I am trying to run some of the canned dba scripts available at the Metalink (Tech Lib, Database Administration, Scripts) and I'm getting the following type of error when attempting to run from a command prompt:

DROP TABLE TABLESPACETEMP
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
Table created.
Commit complete.

It justs sits at the 52 without ever going anywhere.
This script is the one featured in Note:1039289.6 (Analyzing tablespace usage with o/s-independent sql script). I am running it against an 8.1.7 database. I have tried running the script from the command prompt with sqlplus user/password @scriptname and also within sql using @scriptname.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong??
Thnaks:)

I think the script is missing a ';' at the end of the last statement. If it's PL/SQL code, end it with '/'.

Can the Admin Password give me access to user accounts desktop

I want to install macs at my office but I also want to have access to the staffs desktops (email etc) how do I do this so they can have their own passwords but in essence I have a master paswword?

Maybe you're thinking about something like Apple Remote Desktop?
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
You can also connect with any VNC client.
If you just mean violating user's privacy while they aren't logged in, you could login with an administrator account, and look at their files, i.e., using the sudo command, or using the root account. Depending on how their email is stored, you could arrange to access that as well, if you know what you're doing and have sufficient access privileges. Do you run the mail server?
It might be possible to setup a user account with the same userid (but different password) and same home directory as another user, and thus access their desktop effectively as them. You would have to manually configure this though, there is no automated way to do this through Apple's account management interface.

SAP BASIS - Can System Admin experience (Non-SAP) transfer into SAP Basis?

Greetings everyone, I hope you are well this weekend.
I've heard how great SAP careers are for the dedicated and I'm doing my research to find out if an SAP career is viable and if so which is a good entry point. I've read a book by John Von Aspen and in his book he suggests starting out in a customer service rep position for an SAP company as an end user to use as an entry point, but for my background is there another way?
I'm a computer science graduate of DeVry in Atlanta with Technical Support experience and I'm currently working in an IT customer service position. My career has only begun and I'm in the process of mapping out the best route to start in SAP. I'm looking into BASIS as a starting point out of all the functional modules and technical roles available but I am open to all areas. If the next point in my career map were a System Administration role, and if I were to have a few years experience in that role, could I transfer the skills gained into an SAP BASIS administrator? Between now and then I would have done much self study from books and any online courses I could afford. However would I still be short of what a hiring manager is looking for if I don't have an direct experience with SAP Basis?
If such a path would not be viable, what would be the next best step to take coming from Tech/Customer Support?
Thank you,
Sabir

Hi Sabir
I have not read his book so cannot comment too much on that. However, I did a quick search and saw his background is CRM. Perhaps his recommended career path was an example based on his background?
It sounds like you are a planner which is a good trait to have if you are determined to switch over. What sort of technical support are are you doing? If you are a recent graduate you might be able to look to apply to graduate programs in some consultancies (I won't mention names but if you google SAP consultancy graduate position you will find a heap of names).
As far as getting across to Basis the sort of research you could do is look at the SCN communities for System Administration and see they times of themes of the questions. To transition from general system administration to SAP you could look at skilling up with Databases (e.g. Oracle), Operating Systems, Networks, etc. These skills will compliment the Basis skill set but also protect your investment should a SAP job not work out - you still have skills to be valued elsewhere.
In relation to training and education, you want might to research about the SAP Learning Hub. If you are good at self-teaching and learning online this would be a good way for you to invest in training and go at your own pace and keep your cost down. There is a free discovery edition for you to see what the course content it like but it does not give you much of the system administration component.
I would hold off going for any certification (cost) unless until you some experience (unless ofcourse, it becomes a requirement for the job).
The final bit for getting into SAP is investigate the companies that use SAP. Keep looking out for job opportunities to join one of them and then find a way to move into the SAP system administration area.
Good luck with it all and if you have any specific question let us know
Cheers

Can two "admin" users share exactly the same apps, docs and files?

With a view to improving the speed of my Macbook and resolve certain issues with the current user, I am attempting to switch to a new user and I was wondering if there was a way to enable such new user to access all files and privileges of the previous one so as to make the transition quick and easy.
Thank you for your help.

Go into your Mac's hard disk by double-clicking on it. Then single-click on the icon that's shaped like a little house. This is your home directory. Get info on your home directory.
In the get info window, look toward the bottom part of the window. See where it says "Ownership & permissions?" There's a little box called "details" there, so click the triangle to reveal the details, then in the group and others fields, change them to say "read & write."
Then below that section, there's a button labeled, "Apply to enclosed items" which you should click. This will give every account on your computer read/write access to your files and folders.

Exchange 2013 - Admins can only log into one ECP server

Simple run down of my environment:
• Two AD sites (Site1 and Site2)
• One 2008 R2 domain controller at each site (DC1 w/ FSMOs and DC2) running AD forest function level 2008 R2
• One 2012 Std server with Exchange 2012 Std CU3 at each site (EX1 and EX2) – CAS/MBX on both, No DAG
• Half of mailboxes on each server
Using https://webmail.domain.com for all of our internal and external virtual directories. Adding /OWA or /ECP will get you into the respective site from either internal or external.
All Domain Admin/Exchange Admin (Organization Management) do NOT have mailboxes. Those individuals can log into ECP from https://webmail.domain.com/ecp, or FQDN or IP of EX2 only. If John Smith has no mailbox then he must use:
https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
or
https://ex2.domain.com/ecp
or
https://10.16.109.31/ecp
If EX2 goes offline or they use https://ex1.domain.com/ecp or https://10.16.108.31/ecp then none of the admins can login and they get the following:
Use the following link to open this mailbox with the best performance:
https://webmail.domain.com/owa/auth.owa
X-FEServer: EX2
Date: 2/18/2014 10:37:42 PM
s ECP or the https://webamil.domain.com/ecps ECP.
They can access EMS from either server and run Get-ECPVirtualDirectory and it shows what we would expect:
– https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
– https://webmail.domain.com/ecp
Why can an admin with no mailbox only log into the ECP on EX2? What is forcing the login to EX2 only? How can I move that “forced login” to EX1 if we ever get into a situation where EX2 is having problems? What happened in Active Directory or Exchange that
made EX2 the primary login server for ECP and OWA? My FSMOs are located at Site 1…the same location where EX1 is located. The same server that I cannot log into ECP directly.
~Rick

Any admin that is mail enabled can then only log into the server that hosts his mailbox. Admins without mailboxes can only log into EX2. And again, all admins can log into https://webmail.domain.com/ecp unless one of the servers goes offline
and that's when the problems occur. Nothing obvious or unusual regarding mail flow. Done various internal and external tests and have not seen anything obvious or in the logs.
Yesterday's change that MS Support had me do was to delete the ExternalURL for the ECP virtual directories. No difference. So, my latest update from MS Support that requested me to try today's change...
set-owavirtualdirectory “owa (default web site)” -RedirectToOptimalOWAServer $false
After performing an IIS reset and making sure replication had completed there was no difference. So, I am now forced to wait till Monday for MS to respond if the pattern stays at one email per day.
Has anyone with multiple servers at different AD sites been able to log directly into the either server like I'm trying? I get this problem in my labs and I even had MS, while on the phone, remote in to make sure I was setting it up properly.
The guy on the phone never said if their labs do the same thing cause they don't have multiple AD sites in their labs. In my lab if I have two servers at each site then I can log into both servers at the site, but not the other site. It appears it becomes
site dependent then.
MS has taken numerous logs and they are acting like this is the first time they've seen this. Yet I can reproduce it with no problem time after time. I'll create new VMs and start all over from scratch and make this happen every time I create a new AD/Exchange
environment (it does take me a while to build all those VMs from scratch). No fancy GPOs to AD and no radical changes to the Exchange servers. Other than obvious config changes to make sure email can flow internally and externally, this is pretty much out
of the box.
