Change ownership of NSS pool/vols

I have two servers connected to an iSCSI SAN - both servers are NW 6.5 SP8. I need to retire server 1 and replace with server 2 and I would like to permanently mount server 1 NSS volumes on server 2 and change the ownership of the eDir objects to reflect server 2. How do I go about doing this?
Thanks,
bp

Well, there are two options:
1. You can manually (e.g via LDAP) modify the existing volume object to
point to the new server. However, this isn't perfect, as some activities
tend to undo this change.
2. You change the home directory setting of all your users after moving
the volume. This of course can be done manually, but there are also
tools that can help you with that. Search for "homes" on coolsolutions
for instance.
But generally, yes, moving volumes between servers can be done just easily.

Change ownership from "system" on mounted volume?

I have an external firewire drive with 3 partitions all of which are mounted on an iMac, and which until recently all had the same ownership and permission settings under my admin account. One of the volumes (the one storing all the users' iTunes songs) somehow changed ownership to "system" and group to "wheel". I can no longer access the volume nor can the other user accounts on the iMac, although it shows up as a mounted volume when viewed in Disk Utility. "Repair permissions" is unavailable for this volume in Disk Utility. The other two volumes are unaffected and retain the original ownership settings. I'd like to reset ownership from "system" to my admin account, but do not know how to do so as apparently it needs to be done through unix commands using Terminal. What do I need to do?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

"...under Ownership & Permissions, click on the lock, enter your password, and change the Owner to you, with R&W access and the Group to admin, also w/R&W access, and click o Apply to enclosed items. Click the lock and close the Info window. No need to use Unix commands in the Terminal app."
I first tried that approach but unfortunately the procedure does not work. Under Ownership & Permissions it says "You have No Access". I can click on the lock and select my name under Details: Owner, but once I click to relock, Owner just reverts back to "system".

How do I change ownership on iTunes Match from one account to another?

I purchased iTunes Match using one account but use another as my account for iCloud and my iPhone. How do I change ownership of my Match account?

I don't think you can. Purchases made with an account are tied permanently to that account. This is the reason why it is not a good idea to have more than one iTunes account unlesss you really need to keep them separate.

How do I change ownership of an iPad?

Hi guys, help me save an iPad !!
This is a tough one because I do not have access to the previous owner's ID password.   Talking about a 4th gen iPad, 32GB, iOS 8.3 with a badly shattered front glass.     My 5-year old grandson did this.   Done this sort of work before (old MacBook, inverter board), so I got the parts and instructions from ifixit.com and ready get to work on replacing the glass.   But ...., I needed to make sure we can use it fully.   It kept asking for the ID password. I have already erased it with restore/iTunes connection after trying the other fixes in the book..    Of course, now I need the ID pw to activate it.      It's unusable now.
This is a divorce situation in a family member.    Go figure.     We are trying to get her to give us the pw or, remove the iPad from her "list of devices" in her iCloud account as specified by Apple instructions.      She has refused to help with this, though the iPad is her son's which I got for him for Christmas sometime ago.   We are still trying to get her cooperation on this.
OK, that's the sad story of a good, but dead, iPad.
??? Question:    Is there any way to change ownership of this iPad without its ID pw ???       Well, I said it was a tough one !
Hope and Thanks,   Mark

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
Unfortunately it is impossible to change ownership of this device without having access to the previous owner's account.

The Calendar Sdk doesn't allow you to change the ownership of an event. (ORGANIZER value).

Is there any way that I can change ownership (not authorization) of a song so that I don't have to go between my parent's family account and my new account?

So a little backstory i joined the army and get to go home and use the account where the majority of my music is very little, but now when i try transferring these songs to a new device some of them aren't authorized, and I don't want to go through this every time i get a new computer or ipod/iphone. Is there any way that i can change ownership of a song or other file so that a different account is the one to authorize its use?

No.

Change ownership of entire hard drive

I just installed a second hard drive to house all of my music files, and mounted it to /media, then transferred all of my files to it. The problem is, I used samba to transfer all of the files from my XP box, so all the directories/files are owned by root, and it would take my a day and a half to chown each individual directory. Is there an easy way to change ownership of the entire drive/directory? Sorry for the noob question but google and man chown didn't really help me much.

Use the recursive switch:
chown -R USERNAME:users /media
where USERNAME is your user name.

How do I change ownership of apps?

How do I change the ownership or Apple ID of apps I have purchased off the AppStore?
Some of my apps were purchased using an Apple ID similar to [email protected] When iCloud was launched I signed up for it and now have a Apple ID like [email protected]
I want to change ownership of apps from the gmail account to the iCloud account. I don't want to have to sign in and and out of the AppStore on my iPhone, iPad and Mac to update apps.
Any help on this matter will be appreciated.

Thanks for that link. Yes, it does clearly state Apple wont allow merging of Apple ID content. Apple should reconsider this standpoint. Hopefully they will in the future. Its only a matter of changing a record on their AppStore database.
Its about 40/60 for the apps I have under my Gmail ID and my iCloud ID. I will keep with iCloud and login into my Gmail ID when I've got lots of apps to update.
Its a pain, but not the end of the world. It must be frustrating for people with lots of apps on lots of devices.
I am fairly new to Apple, however I feel the whole product ethos is much better than the Windows/PC approach. I can't stand the fact I have to have a Microsoft email address just login into Windows 8. I wish I had moved over to Apple years ago.

OES11 SP2 - Linux File System and NSS Pools & Volumes

Planning to install our first OES11 SP2 server into an existing tree - the
idea is to run this new OES11 server virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5
The existing tree has two physical NW6.5SP8 servers running eDirectory
Version 8.7.3.10b (NDS Version 10554.64). One of the existing Netware
servers is used for DHCP/DNS, File Sharing from three NSS volumes and
Groupwise 7.0.4 whilst the second server is used for FTP services and
eDirectory redundancy. Ultimately the plan is to have two virtualized OES11
SP2 server with one for file sharing and the other for making the move from
GW7 to GW2012. And we're planning to stick with NSS for file sharing on the
new OES11 SP2 server.
I've come across a couple of posts for earlier versions of OES which
recommended not to put the Linux Native OS File System and NSS storage
pools/volumes on the same hard drive. Apparently the advice was a result of
needing to allow EVMS to manage the drive which could be problemmatic.
I've read the OES11 documentation which says that "The Enterprise Volume
Management System (EVMS) has been deprecated in SLES 11, and is also
deprecated in OES 11. Novell Linux Volume Manager (NLVM) replaces EVMS for
managing NetWare partitions under Novell Storage Services (NSS) pools."
So I'm wondering if there is still a compelling requirement to keep the
Linux Native File System and NSS pools/volumes on separate hard drives or
can they both now safely co-exist on the same drive without causing
headaches or gotchas for the future?
Neil

Hi Willem,
Many thanks for the further reply.
So we can just use the VMWare setup to "split" the one physical drive into
two virtual drives (one for the OS and the second for the pools).
And I've seen posts in other forums about the need for a decent battery
backed cache module for the P410i controller so I'll make sure we get one
(probably 512Mb module + battery).
Can I ask what is the advantage of configuring each VM's virtual disk to run
on it's own virtual SCSI adapter (by setting disk1 to scsi 0:0, disk2 to
scsi 1:0, and so on)?
Cheers,
Neil

How can I change ownership on locked folder? (error 120)

I had to create a new user after my previous (file vault) sparse image became corrupt. Fortunately I had backup and I'm getting things back to normal with a new user name.
But several of the folders and files on my secondary internal drive are now locked as read only. The owner is the old name (of the corrupted user folder).
How can I unlock the folders to change ownership and permissions to my current user name? I am logged in as an administrator. Whenever I try I get an error code 120.
G5 dual 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Solved it. Checked the "ignore ownership" box on the secondary drive and I can unlock the folders. Works for now.

Bulk operation to Change Ownership of Reports in the CMS\FRS

I have a large amount of reports that are owned by the administrator and need to change ownership to users for security & auditing reasons. I'm aware of the manual process to do this (basically re-publish them logged in as the user) however, doing this would be almost impossible to coordinate across the company.
I have seen a few SQL scripts that have been used successfully by admins at other company's and based on XI R2, however I'm unable to get any of them to work (I'm on XI 3.1 SP3, FixPack3.1), nor do I fully appreciate the CMS SDK.
Does anybody have any ideas on where I can go on this? Your comments\help appreciated as ever.

Hello Neozeke,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Migrate NSS pools to new device?

Hi everyone:
This may sound strange, but it is what it is : We're trying to migrate a series of cluster enabled pools from one SAN to another SAN (the fiber connects have already been made and tested...so that's no part of the equation at this time).
Problem is, we've been asked to do this with ZERO disruption to the users. And we're talking about 30 tb of data here encompassing a cornucopia of volumes and pools servicing a large spectrum of users across a rather massive eDirectory structure (many login scripts to modify among other things).
SO assuming I can activate pools and mount volumes to a server from both SANs (which I can), is there any possible way to force the NSS Pool to activate on another device if the device has been mirrored from one SAN to the other?
Right now what happens is that the secondar lun (which has a copy of the data on the primary lun) shows up as a new device, and there doesn't seem to be any way to simply mount the pool that's been mirrored to it.
Barring that, is there any way to expand the pool to encompass both devices, but then shrink it back down so that it only encompasses the new device?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

NSS pool errors during every NSS background check

We are running a NW 6.5 SP6 server with NSS pools SYS and POOL1.
POOL1 contains two volumes: VOL1 and MAIL. Both can grow to max. pool size.
During every NSSbackground check we receive the messages below.
I checked the novell support site, but can't find anything usefull on this.
Anyone got an idea what they mean and how to get rit of them?

Recovering NSS pool after server crash

Server crashed the other day - a SLES 11 sp1 XEN host server system with 3 VMs, 2 OES servers (SLES 10 sp3) NSS pools/partitions and 1 pure SLES 11 server. After the crash (due either to power reset or raid controller failure) I had to run fsck to clear up multiple, multiple error conditions on the SLES partitions in order for the servers to reboot. Once booted up, edir and of course NSS would not load. eDir has been recovered and is now running but one of these servers (the one with most all of the data on NSS) is unstable and still has some boot problems. Would the following be a viable option at this point:
1. Take this server out of the tree (if possible)
2. Install fresh, new OES server in a logical drive
3. Join the existing tree
4. Attach the NSS partition to this server
5. Bring up NSS
Any reason why this would not work to get to a stable server that can mount the existing NSS pool/partition? Thanks.
Don

That will work, assuming the new server does not have a volume/pool by the same name already.

Trying to change ownership of my old iPod. The advice here is to go to "Devices" "Summary" "Restore", but I find "Devices" does not offer "Restore" but only "Sync", "Transfer", "Backup", and a greyed "Restore from backup."

What I don't understand is that your iTunes looks different from mine--just a little bit. You have 3 circles, red, yellow, and green, in the upper right end of the top bar. INstead I have a square that is half gray. When I click it, I get a menu very similar to the menu under "File."
The only place I see an entry for "Devices" is under "File," but it only gives the 4 options I mentioned before (see below). There is no "Summary."
Here's another screen shot after I added an album to music. Now all the choices under "Devices" are grayed.
