Disk suite shows wrong devices

I have built a number of meta devices using onlide disk suite all worked fine . Had to do a recovery of the operating system to restore root and var partitions from tape . In doing so had to rebuild path-to-inst.
there is now a mis match between the information held by the OS and that held in the meta databases . Iit all works fine but metastat displays the wrong disk names .
does anyone have any idea how I can update meta db without having to rebuild the entire disk suite config

I think you'll simply need to remove the metadb and recreate - see this article for a similar situation

2nd HDD not recognized in Win7 Disk Manager, Shows in Device Manager, BIOS, Win7 Repair CD

Hello,
I am trying to add a newly purchased HDD to my laptop as the secondary HDD. The primary is a 160 GB SSD.
Primary SSD: Intel 160 GB SSD model SSDSA2BW160G3H
Secondary HDD: WD 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA/300, Model WDBLHJ7500ANC-NRSN
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv7t-7000 Quad 17.3" laptop
Laptop Config: Intel i7-3720QM 2.6 GHz Quad Core, 8 GB RAM, nVidia GT650M, 160 GB SSD
Laptop BIOS: F.24
Laptop Date of Birth: 5/24/2012
OS: Win 7 Prof x64
Shows up in BIOS (can run diagnostics OK).
Shows up in Win 7 Prof Device Manager.
Does NOT show up in Disk Manager.
Checked device drivers for Win7 Prof Device Manager HDD, have the latest.
Checked service manual, can't see anything that I missed.
Booted with Active@BootDisk (Win PE rescue disk), drive showed up as uninitialized.
Initialized drive, partitioned (one large), formatted NTFS.
Booted with Win 7 Repair Disk (Win PE), can see the drive in command prompt, able to write a text file to it OK.
Still won't show up in Win 7 Prof in Disk Manager.
Any ideas? Maybe a firmware upgrade for the laptop? Some kind of incompatibility with the HDD and SDD such as different dirve modes (don't believe that Win7 has issues with IDE versus AHCI devices)?
I had trouble adding a 2nd HDD to my dv7-6000 laptop; it finally just showed up months later. Is this common with HP laptops?
I am stumped and any help is appreciated. I checked the Internets and didn't see anything other than HW issues. I need this to work for the new semester that started today.

More testing:
WD Data Lifeguard (Western Digital's HDD diagnostics) also won't see the HDD after booting with Win 7 Prof off of the SSD.
Moved the HDD cable from the 2nd HDD to the primary header (SSD disconnected). Was able to install another instance of Win7 on the 2nd HDD OK; this proves that the new WD HDD and the secondary cable are OK. Moved the cable back to the 2nd header (still no SSD) and the computer booted off of the secondary HDD connected to the secondary header OK.
Added the SSD back to the primary header and booted into the instance of Win7 off of the SSD. Disk Management can't see the 2nd HDD, WD Data Lifeguard can't see the 2nd HDD; however, Device Manager is able to see the 2nd HDD OK.
Ran Intel SSD toolbox on SSD; no issues. Ran WD Align by Acronis on SSD (checks for advanced format alignment of 4K boundaries); it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Connected HDD to pri header, booted Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Ran WD Data Lifeguard on HDD; it's fine. Booted into WD Align by Acronis CD, ran WD align against HDD; it's already aligned to 4k boundaries.
Put HDD on pri header, SSD on secondary header and booted into Win7 Ultimate on HDD. Able to see both drives in Dask Management.
Put SSD back onto primary header, HDD back onto 2nd header, booted into Win7 Prof on SSD. Disk Management can't see the HDD again...
Updated laptop BIOS from F.24 to F.2D rev A (Install Shield Wizard confirms that it is for Win7 x64 as well as Win 8.1). Didn't fix the issue...
Ran Intel Driver Update Utility. I have the Intel RST (Rapid Store Technology) driver v 11.0.0.1032. Did not state that I needed to upgrade this driver. This is latest version on the HP website.
Everything works except having the SSD connected to the primary header, having the HDD connected to the secondary header, booting into Win7 Prof on the SSD and trying to see the HDD in Disk Management. Unfortunately, this is the configuration that I need to work.
Any thoughts on what is causing this? Hardware issue with HP Laptop? Power supply issue? Bad HDD controller? Bad install of Win7 Prof on SSD (appears to run fine otherwise).

Storage statistics / Disk usage shows wrong info

Hi all!
I've found a very strange bug in OS X Yosemite. The info about storage statistics shown in About my Mac dialog is wrong:
As you can see, I have a 250GB SSD Drive which is 162,87GB used, but App's statistics show 342,48GB used!!! How it could be possible? Anyone has this same issue? Any way to fix it?
Regards.

Thanks Eric!
This solved my issue!!!

Recovering /var/ and /usr using disk suite

Hello all:
How do I recover /var/ and /usr using disk suite. A snippet of metastat is below. Do I just issue a metareplace or metarecover?
Thanks for your help.

Your snippet doesn't show anything wrong, so I can't understand why you're asking about recovery. Are you talking about fixing something or are you thinking of some failure scenario that hasn't happened yet? You also don't show any output as to what we're looking at. I'm assuming from your subject that /var and /usr are mounted on d30 and d40, but you might want to confirm that.
Also the output suggests that you've started setting up mirrors, but haven't done so. All the data is on c1t0 and nothing has been copied to c1t1 yet.
There's no redundant data shown here. So any failure in c1t0 will be fatal and unrecoverable from a SVM standpoint. You'd need to add the second half of the mirrors.

Getting new hard disks to show up?

I have installed Solaris 10 to my primary hard disk. The OS is up and running fine as far as I can tell. I have also added two three more hard disks (250GB PATA IDE drives). The BIOS during bootup sees the drives just fine. (Even the Solaris install saw them...). When I'm in the CDE GUI I can't get the OS to see the extra 3 drives.
I've tried going into the Solaris Management Console 2.1 and then I choose "This Computer" on the "Open Toolbox" dialog. From there I go to the "Storage" --> "Disks" and I get an error message "Attempt to get a list of all Disks failed with unexpected CIM error: CIM_ERR_FAILED"
Help! Am I just looking in the wrong spot? What do I need to do to get the 3 additional disks to show up? (I'm trying to get them to show up so I can setup a ZFS raid...)

jebilbrey:
With all due respect; none of the various *nix are particularly well suited to "point and click" system administration. One of their most redeeming qualitites (to me) is that you learn the innards of the system and moving icons around isn't that ;)
Now, as for the format command; as root you type in "format" from the command prompt. If you see them with that command you select the disk you want to partition (it will have a number assigned). From there you select part (I think that's it) then you assign the size for each slice of the disk with the exception of slice 2 which is the whole drive from block 0 to block n.
Once you've laid out the disk with the partitions you want you use the "label" option to write the partition table to the disk.
If you are going to mount filesystems; you have to use newfs on the partitions you created; then mount them up.
As I said; not exactly "point and click" system administration.
Cheers,

I have had this problem also ever since I updated to 5.3, I think it is a major bug!
At random the preview window on the left doesnt show the preview of the presets anymore when I hover them, and when I click back and forth to other images it suddenly starts working again, its a very annoying problem and I cannot believe that Adobe isnt aware of it yet!

Iphone 4 showing wrong IP address for home wireless

2 days ago we reset our home wireless password and updated our devices (ipad, laptop, and two cell phones). Now my iphone 4 will no longer connet to the wireless. It accepts the new password to join the network but it never connects. It is showing wrong IP address. How can I change it to the correct IP ? Tried hard rest, forget network, and renew lease all trying to get it to automatically update the info. Out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I have the exact same router as you, I have Comcast, and I am having the exact same INFURIATING problem.
Comcast and Apple have no ideas. Linksys tells me I am having a router problem.
I even went so far as to buy a new router and modem from Linksys (as they claim they no longer make the router/modem combo because it doesn't work well). I still don't buy this... my PC, my PS3, my DS... all of them connect to the router perfectly.
I have the new modem and router here and planned to give that a whirl tonight but Comcast was being difficult and saying it could take 72 hours to activate my new modem. Totally unsat. I had them reconnect the WCG200 and I am still trouble shooting to no avail...
If anyone finds a fix (short of a new router and new modem)... please post!

Trying to install 10.9 yields "damaged HD message," but disk utility shows everything is fine.

Running mid-2010 MacBook Pro 13'' with OSX 10.7.5.
So, like many who have tried to install the new update, mine says it cannot be installed due to a damaged Macintosh HD. Attempting to fix it through the Disk Utility available during the install allows me to Verify Disk. I get an error that it needs to be repaired, but the repair option is greyed out. Booting it into Recovery and using Disk Utility again shows a damaged disk, but this time I can repair it. It repairs and everything reads as fine; even verifying the disk again shows that the system is fine. This is where it gets screwy.
Upon reboot, the Mavericks install wizard once more gives me the damaged HD message. It once more shows a damaged disk through the Maverick's screen Disk Utility. Booting it into recovery shows the damage again, is fixable again. Rinse, repeat.
Booting into Safe Mode and running Disk Utility shows an undamaged Mac HD. It also allows me to access everything as normal (which is how I am on here now), albeit much more slowly. Additionally, my Boot Camp partition works just fine.
I wouldn't mind abandoning the install, but the Mavericks install will not allow me to boot into my Mac HD because of some error. I also cannot avoid restarting into the Mavericks install wizard unless using Safe Mode. I attempted to delete the downloaded Mavericks "application" in the launch pad, but this does not affect my normal boot, and it appears again the next time I boot into Safe Mode.
I don't know what's wrong with this, but I don't thing it's a hardware issue, because this only affects Mavericks. Can anyone tell me how to either 1) install Mavericks, or 2) banish this **** from whence it came so I can have my computer back? I've been trying to fix this for at least 9 hours, I'm starting to feel rather infuriated.
The only option that I can think of at this point is to reformat and do a clean install of 10.9. Alternatively, maybe just keep 10.9 off my system because it seems to be a POS.

Firewire disk not showing up in save window.

Hey all,
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and all seems to have been well until today when I realised my firewire drives aren't showing up in the 'save as' window. However, the drives are showing up in the scratch drive list in the preferences. At the moment I'm saving to my native hard drive and then transferring the files manually which is not particularly efficient. Is anyone else having this issue and if so have you hit upon a solution?
Matt

Oh!
I've sorted out the issue now. The solution may help others though. In the 'save as' window I clicked on the drop down menu just below the file name entry field. I selected the network name of my computer and the disks appeared in the list below. I then dragged the disks over to the devices list on the left and there they now sit.
You may be able to drag them from the desktop too but I didn't try that. Either way, problem solved!

Disk Suite/ Solaris 8 Upgrade Problems

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade from Solaris Sparc 7 to 8 and I have Sun Disk Suite mirroring the boot device. When I try to upgrade the installation fails. Is there a way to upgrade from 7 to 8 without breaking the mirror and if not is there a utility that can remove the metadb info and rebuild them after the upgrade.
Thanks,
Bill Bradley

Why does my iPad store show wrong id

In my settings, it shows the right Id. When I go into store to get items or updates, it shows wrong id. How do I fix this?

If you purchased apps with a different Apple ID, you will always have to use that ID in order to update the apps.
If that's not what is happening to you, I don't know what the device would be showing an ID that does not belong to you, unless somebody else used their ID on your iPad. Try swiping to the bottom of the app store featured tab and tap on the Apple ID that is showing in there. Sign out of that ID and sign into yours.

Disk Utility Shows Incorrect Free Space

I've had this problem for a while now, and I've been unable to figure out why. I can't even remember when it started, but it has become quite a nuisance.
The Finder window shows that I have 302GB of harddrive space remaining, out of 500GB. The Activity Monitor and Disk Utility show I have 240GB space remaining, and my System Profiler shows I have 239GB remaining. I just deleted a bunch of old TV shows off of iTunes (about 40GB worth) to open up some space, but only the Finder changed (up to 302GB from 260GB) but the Activity Monitor, Disk Utility, and System Profiler haven't changed.
Now, I'll assume the Finder is showing the correct amount of space, but I'm wondering why the other utilites are showing the incorrent amount of space. I have a feeling maybe something was screwed up when I created a 50GB Windows 7 partition through Boot Camp a couple months ago.
I've attempted to Repair Disk through the Disk Utility and it says everything looks fine. Any solutions to this minor inconvenience? Or at least an answer as to why this is happening?

The available disk space reported in finder is totally wrong.
Even if it accounts for the local snapshots. In my macbook air it shows 120 Available in finder which is just 1GB less than my SSD capacity.

Prime shows wrong cli credentials but they are good

Hey!
Prime discovered both Nexus 7k Core Router. All fine...
On the first one Prime is getting all informations with entered CLI credentials in the device work centre.
On the second Nexus it always shows "wrong cli credentials" but they are 100% correct.
Login into the second Nexus via putty and the same credentials is also fine.
I can't convince Prime tocollect the Informations from the second Nexus.
Even ssh from prime cli to this device ist ok...
Any ideas?

ok, tried all that was said here. Nothing worked ... I do have banners, but no # sign ... removed them anyways ... then thinking about the banners might be causing issues for what PI expects ... (i do have my prompts changed to mask the platform) ... so i defaulted back to regular prompts ... WORKED !!!!
So here is what works for me ... no banners, no custom prompts AND device added through the 'classic theme'.
I presume the expectation is that the device begins with minimal config ... the rest is pushed through the config templates deployment. But have the developers thought of existing devices ? is it IOS version related (target device) or simply a bug.
BTW, PI v2.1
Edit --- needing to clarify, for some models (namely UC520) ... removed banner, custom prompts and i could add it comfortably through the Lifecycle interface.
Others (3550), could be inserted easily with banners and custom prompts ... rather inconsistent, though at least , i have working recipes.
Thanks for the help all :)

March 2013: I updated US Maps - it shows wrong tow...

I had the Nokia USA maps installed in my C6-01. It showd a lot of update and it finished with an error.
Then I realized that there is no US maps on my smartphone. So installed it again via PC.
Now it shows wrong town name but correct ZIP code
What should I do about it?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Thanks.
If I do that, what will happens to my stored GPS addresses?
I have previously downlaoded all of USA maps - how can I uninstall it from the SD card on the phone.
Surprisingly, when I expand the USA folder via Nokia Suite it lists all states and still lets me to download California maps - what is going on here?
Last time, when I was downloading Maps through a PC wirelessly, it showed an error. I didn't know that all US maps had gone - not knowing it, I tried to go to a location and it didn't work and it was showing German maps - if it is a corruption, it happened then - do I need start all over again? Then how can I still keep the saved addresses in the GPS (not the tel contacts) - you know there are two ways to save GPS addresses.
The only problem snce the update is all new addresses that I search for shows as:
1234 Emerson St, Santa Clara, CA, USA {note: Santa Clara is the county name and there is a city too - I entered Palo Alto and not Santa Clara)
Previously it would have shown as (exactly as I entered):
1234 Emerson St, Palo Alto, CA
The new display causing a lot of confusion.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Disk suite 4.2.1 Bug

Ok
Looks like I found a bug in Disk Suite 4.2. I am not sure with the other versions. So here is my finding. If I have any meta device either mirrored or raid or stripe. While my metadevice is mounted I can create a soft partation on top of it. Once i am able to create soft partation i can create a new filesystem. The intreasting thing is Disksuite never warn you about the metadevice is already in use or mounted. So it means i can destroy any mounted filesyetm. This looks like a bug to me. I am wondering if any one reported it before or not.
Ali Imran

I have a similiar problem. The centre control button and the volume controls just stopped working. Can't answer calls or skip tracks when playing iPod. The controls on the iPhone itself still work fine with the earbuds connected. Seem to just happen overnight. Bought a brand new set of Earbuds, suspecting it was the buds but exactly the same results. Non repsonsive controls. Very disappointing.
Unlike you, the mic built in to the phone does not seem live with the buds plugged in to the iPhone.
Have you found a solution ? Any help would be appreciated. My iPhone 4 is just 6 months old.
