Can Xserve2,1 make Xsan disk sharing using Fibre Channel to different OS version client?

Hi, I want to upgrade 3 MacPro linked to an Xserve2,1 (MacOsX10.6.8) with fibre channel.
My question is: the operative system of the server must be the same of the clients?
Thanks!

It shouldn't matter if using same XSAN across all three. Although, it is a bit of a black art. The best place to ask these questions is http://www.xsanity.com/

  • Why can't I make a disk Image??

    getting Leopard tomorrow. system working great. plan to do an "upgrade installation". backed up all my files (106GB) to an external HDD. so I think I'm ready....
    question is - why can't I make a disk image of my "Macintish HD"?
    it starts to create the image but Disk Utility comes back and says "Unable to create disk0s2.dmg. Resource busy."
    I thought it might be a good idea to do a "complete system backup" just incase something goes wrong with the "upgrade installation".
    Since it didn't let me, I just dragged-n-dropped the Users folder to the external HDD, so I got my files backed up.
    curious why I can't make a disk image of my WHOLE HDD. can someone enlighten me....
    thanks, chris

    why can I not make a secure connection using safari?

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

  • MaxDB on a shared storage -( Fibre Channel or iSCSI )

    Hello,
    anyone here is running MaxDB on a shared storage ( Fibre Channel or iSCSI ) please?

    > but we need more CPUs and Ram! for our application !! that is what will solve the problem!
    So - you don't need a shared database?!

    This is high availability - not "load balancing".
    That cluster is basically what we have set up here. One database node is running the database. If that node fails, the other node takes over the database. But they won't run at the same time.
    Oracle RAC does what you want, it handles two database servers for ONE database so you can distribute the load. The same is true for DB2, you can create more than one node to act for the same database. This does not work with MaxDB since the database is lacking that functionality.
    At times when MaxDB "was ADABAS D", that feature of distributed database was available but it was not further developed since there was no demand.

  • Can't install Lion This disk is used for Time Machine backups

    The Lion installer, downloaded from the app store, won't let me select my internal hard disk, it says "This disk is used for Time Machine backups" which it isn't.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Neil

    I was sure that I had trashed the Backups.backupdb folder from the top level - it did require me to enter my Admin password.
    Yes I had tried several times to go back to the terms of agreement screen and click agree once again, but still had the problem.
    I had external HDs connected, but disconnected them and the problem persisted.
    I restarted my mac and now the message has gone away and I am having no problems installing.
    Thanks everyone

  • I need a new license of final cut. Can I buy Final Cut X and use that serial on an older version of Final Cut?

    I work in a small studio and we hired a new editor. We are staying on an older version of Final Cut Studio and need a new license/serial so we can run it on the new machine without having the 'protection error' over the network.
    We CANNOT upgrade all of the machines at this time - we are in the middle of a few projects and need to keep the workflow going smoothly.
    If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio can we use the license on our old product and wait to install the new one until we can upgrade all of the machines at the same time? we're still on studio 6.
    Thank you!

    >If we purchase the newest version of Final Cut Studio
    The newest version of Final Cut Studio was FCS 3 (aka FCS 2009) which contained FCP 7.  It has been discontinued by Apple and recalled from retailers.  If you can still find a legitimate copy to purchase, you can only use the serial number for that version.  Serial numbers from other versions will not work.

  • Xsan 3 warning: "check fibre channel cables"

    I have a warning on 2 of my clients in the computers window of xsan admin 3.1.  Under status column it says "check fibre channel cables" .  However, both cables are operating properly, displaying active lights on both ends, and I am able to access the SAN with no problem.  Does anyone know why I am getting these warnings and how I can get rid of them.  Also I have two other clients that are showing "unreachable or offline" under the status column.  However, they have full access to the SAN.  All computers are running and connected via the private and public LAN and fibre. 

    You might see the "check fibre channel cables" messages if a system can't see all of the LUNs for a volume. If everything is working properly, then it could be a remnant of a problem that has been resolved. Try closing the window in Xsan Admin, click Disconnect, then reconnect with File -> Open -> Manage existing SAN, and reconnect to your MDC.

  • Airport Extreme USB Disk Sharing using MobileMe - Connection Failed...

    After several hours of troubleshooting i've hit a brick wall.
    I have just bought a brand new Airport Extreme Base Station (Dual Band etc) and it is all set up and working lovely.
    I have now come to share my USB Disk using my MobileMe account. Add my mobile account to the configuration page, all ok still.
    Connect to a completely different network (second home), where my Airport Extreme (William Moore's Airport Extreme) is present in the finder under Shared. However, when I proceed to connect to it, i am firstly presented with connecting.... and after it has failed the first time, each subsequent attempt immediately fails.
    At first i could not access the configuration page remotely for the Extreme either - but after bypassing the firewall on my router i can now remotely connect to my extreme every time - but still the same above issue with connecting to the USB disk.
    The router at my second home is currently a belkin router - although i have an airport express coming soon which i hope will resolve the problem and point to my current router setup - but this cannot be a long term solution as the express is to be used elsewhere.
    However, i fail to see how my router is stopping the disk connection when i am able to receive the extreme's configuration. NAT is enabled on my router, as is upnp.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    I am an IT Technician myself, and this is driving me crazy!

    Thanks for those links - i'll look at the powering down tomorrow as the Airport isn't at the property i'm at at the minute.
    However, I can safely say the airport is configured just as in the first link. Like i said, I can remotely access the airport so can verify that from here.
    The article regarding the formatting of the disk is also interesting. I have tried three disks, each with the same end result (not being able to remotely connect) but all have been slightly different formatting.
    1) 500gb HFS+ formatted, single partition, my timemachine disk
    2) 500gb - 450gb HFS+ partition - 50gb FAT32 partition - interestingly, although according to that article two partitions aren't supported - both mounted perfectly when I was connected to my airport locally
    3) 8gb FAT32 formatted USB Stick - same thing - fine locally, cannot connect remotely.
    Come to think of it - i did read somewhere that the usb port isn't (hot-swappable) so maybe the complete power off and on may solve the problem - but i fail to see how this is different technically to a restart through the software - and doubt very much it will fix the issue - but i will definitely give it a go tomorrow.
    Any other idea's or people in the same situation would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  • HT201514 Why can't I select my disk for use with Time Machine with OS 10.6.8?

    I have used Time Machine for some time with my MacBook Pro. However, my backup disk does not show in Time Machine. It did however, offer me the chance to stop a backup, so I checked that off. Now I can't even set up Time Machine; every time I slide the switch to On, a window pops up that says something about Airport Extreme, which I know nothing about and doubt I that I use.

    It sounds like the backups may be damaged;  try to Repair them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

  • How can i tell if something was shared using airdrop

    I found a picture on my camera roll that I do not remember taking.  Is there a way to tell if this was shared with someone using AirDrop on my iPhone 5s?  Someone else had access to my phone and I want to see if it was shared with anyone.

    Seems pretty clear to me you should check your Messages and Mail apps to see if either has been sent recently. There is no guarantee it will still be there as someone may have also deleted the outgoing message. Maybe your Facebook and Twitter timelines as well.

  • Can I open the (.squ) sequence files using NI test stand 4.0 version?

    I have the sequence files created using ATETool Kit test Executive. But I have NI 4.0 test stand. I want to open the sequence files using NI 4.0 test stand. Can i do that?

    Hi,
    I am not familiar with ATETool kit Test Executive, but I doubt NI TestStand will open this. As you have both, have you tried it?
    TestStand does have a conversion tool for converting NI TestExecutive sequence files into TestStand sequence files.
    Maybe you could write a conversion tool to make the conversion for you if you have many ATETool kit Test Executive files.

  • Can I have a primary database and standby database with a different windows version?

    Hi
    I need your help.
    We need to increase the memory in the server where is the standby database , but first, we need to upgrade the windows version.
    The actual version is windows 2003 standard edition 64 bits
    The new version will be windows 2003 enterprise  edition 64 bits
    This difference in windows version  between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary and standby databases ??
    What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?
    The databases are in SQL SERVER 2005.
    Thanks.
    Loreinn

    This difference in windows version  between primary and standby servers can cause a problem in the synchronization between primary
    and standby databases ??<o:p></o:p>
    There is no issue with database synchronization as long as SQL Server is of same version.<o:p></o:p>
    What do you recommend? Have both servers in the same windows version?<o:p></o:p>
    OS(Windows version) has no restriction for using SQL server 2005 database mirroring/log shipping. You can go with upgrade without any worries on SQL
    database side.<o:p></o:p>

  • Xsan and sharing over ethernet

    I'm not extremely familiar with how exactly xsan works, so please bear with me. Let's say I have 2 RAIDS and an Xserve on Xsan. Can I share the xsan volume that shows up on the server to other clients?

    If you're in a pinch, you can do the secondary metadata controller for OD or sharing, just make sure you SAN is stable and isn't failing over to the backup MDC all the time.
    Not sure if I understand your question about using a metadata controller if there are only 7 clients. The MDC is an essential variable in an Xsan, no matter how many clients.
    Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks,
