Does the new mac mini server do lights out management?

can't see it in the tech specs anywhere...

I would say no. The Mac Pro does not do it and that is used by a number of my clients as a server.

  • Does the new Mac Pro Server have lights out management?

    I would like to know if the Mac Pro Server has the LOM. Such as the ability to turn off, on, and reboot by simply using the server admin tools. I use this feture very often with my current xserve and would rather buy a new server then try and find a used 2009 xserve.

    No.

  • Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor on the new Mac Mini Server

    Does the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor on the new Mac Mini Server support 3D Monitors?
    I'm in the process of purchasing a 3D LED Monitor (27" S27A950D Series 9 LED 3D Monitor) and would like to know if it will be fully compatible with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 processor that came with the Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011).
    Will it be possible to play 3D Games and watch 3D movies with this graphics card?
    Also, does the new Mac Mini Server come with 1st or 2nd Generation Intel Core Processor?

  • Singing the praises of the new Mac Mini Server

    I've been running Maya (a 3D modeling and animation application) on a mid-2010 17" MacBook Pro: dual core 2.66GHz i7 processor, 8GB of RAM.  It's done quite well, even when rendering frames of animation, but I knew I needed to speed things up a bit when I'm rendering out longer animation clips at reasonably high resolution.  When the new Mac Mini refresh kicked in I decided to take the plunge and pick up the new Mini Server as an extra render node.
    Wow, was that a great decision.
    With the same 8GB of RAM, but adding quad core i7 plus Sandy Bridge, it screams.  I just ran a disributed render test: 10 seconds of animation at 24 frames per second, 1080p HD.  The Mini Server easily rendered three frames for every one the MBP churned out.  That means my overal render time has been cut to roughly 25% of what it was before.
    If ever you wondered what that extra horsepower means in actual useage terms, now you know.

    Any time. I have some real numbers:
    240 frames, 1080p resolution.
    MacBook Pro alone: 4 hours, 17 minutes.
    With Mac Mini Server added (distributed render): 1 hour, 3 minutes.
    Yeah, I'm pleased.

  • Does the new mac mini have airplay

    I have a late 2010 Mac Mini and I was looking into it the see if the new Mac Mini offered Airplay. If it did I would be looking to sell my old Mac Mini and purchase a new one sometime in the near future.

    Yes it will. Any 2011 or newer Mac mini will support it.
    Here's the article

  • What does the new mac mini really look like? raised or not?

    looking at the images on the mac mini page http://www.apple.com/macmini/ it clearly shows the mini with it's front edge resting on the ground in all the images from the front. the reflections touch. but when you follow the 'Design' link it shows that the new mini is resting on a raised foot, so it floats.
    i'm pretty sure the floating version is the real version, but why the inconsistency?

    it's not an optical illusion. it's just wrong in the images. i agree with the people who made the illustrations, it looks better when it's flat on the ground and not floating.
    http://www.macrumors.com/2010/06/16/mac-mini-mid-2010-teardown-photos/
    that gives you a better idea of what the new mac mini looks like from the front in a similar angle to the images on apples site. notice the very large gap between the reflection and the front face of the mini. also notice the large black shadow caused by the mini being raised up on the black circular foot on it's base. There isn't an angle that you you can move the camera to that would eliminate the shadow or distance between the reflection and the case and still see the front face as you do in the images.
    it's just an odd inconsistency that misrepresents what the final product looks like.

  • How well does the new Mac mini preform

    Hi, im thinking of picking up the 2014 Mac mini (i5, 2.6ghz, 8gb ram) And I was wondering how well it performs with yosemite,
    thanks

    If I needed a second computer around the house for email, surfing the web, correspondence, and editing family pictures I'd pick one up or look for a good deal on the previous model. Besides the obvious downside of not being upgradable, the internal hard drive (as opposed to the SSD) is a serious bottleneck on performance. Several years ago I said I'd never buy another computer with a hard drive and that was when I had an iMac with a 7200 RPM drive. Now that Apple is installing slow 5400 RPM drives in its base desktops I advise everyone to get an SSD or Fusion Drive. I was frankly surprised how good Intel's Iris integrated graphics is (compared to its previous efforts)

  • How do I install Mac OSX Lion client on the new Mac Mini Server?

    If Apple would have had the quad-core processor option for the non-server Mac Mini, I would have just bought that, but I wanted the quad-core. I do not, however, need the server software. I found this article talking about how to disable the server functionality, but this article highlights how little that method actually does.
    Ultimately, I just want to do a clean reinstall like I used to do prior to Lion. This process used to be so easy. Create a disk image of the desired operating system on USB, option boot, and you're done. Now it appears that Apple purposely impedes this process, as every time I boot from the USB I created with Mac OSX Lion client, I get a circle with a line through it. Is there any way around this restriction? Editing firmware, editing .plist files, etc?
    Very disappointed that Apple is limiting what used to be such a simple process on Hardware and Software that I paid for but now can't get the functionality I want.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what I don't think you can do what you're asking for.  Closest thing is going to be disabling the server components like it says in the article, but again, that doesn't do much.

  • Does the new mac mini have Hdmi 1.4?

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac mini in combination with a 3D monitor but every where on the Internet they are talking about HDMI 1.4a or something like that... Is it necessary? And does the Mac mini (2012) have it?

    Not certain, but it says here that 1.4 does not support 3-D, that 1.4a is needed...

  • New Mac Mini Server Network Issue

    I recently purchased the new Mac Mini Server with 10.6 to use as a Content Filter/Web Server for a small private school. While trying to set it up, using the on board ethernet and a USB to Ethernet adapter, I have lost all ability to acquire an IP. IT does not matter if I use the on board ethernet, the USB adapter, or the Airport. All three return a self-assigned IP. I know this is related to the machine since I can still access the cable modem setup by typing in 192.168.100.1. And I brought it home to work on it a little more and the bonjour services are detecting the other macs on the network.
    I tried trashing my network preference plist, but no change.
    I am considering doing a fresh install since I think the initial setup was borked. But I thought I'd hit up the board and see if anyone else had a thought before I begin that process.
    thoughts?

    I have setup this configuration several times with both a MacPro and the smaller mini setup. The gateway setup we are describing is about as simple as it gets (static IP, gateway running all services so 1 IP address, gateway set as 192.168.1.1 on the local net. Simple DHCP and DNS "server.local", and "server.xxx.com" external).
    I would be overjoyed to find that I can configure this by setting up some simple overrides in the routing. I would point out in defense that _everything else_ works perfectly basically by default.
    1) dns on server: local and external, forward and reverse from itself and the local network - check
    2) services on server (all of them): from itself and the local and external networks - check
    3) network access (ie NAT & Firewall) for local machines - check (web, streaming, even bittorrent)
    The only issue I see is that remote clients cannot access the gateway itself properly though VPN. UPD return packets seem to be mis-routed through the physical interface rather than the virtual one.
    ALL other operations (Mail, iCal, iChat, Push, Web Services, Wiki, Web Mail and iCal, NAT) work perfectly for the server, local network, and external hosts. The above problem only happens for vpn clients, and then only for connections from them to the gateway itself, and only for UDP packets.
    I would really love to know how to fix it, especially if this can be explained by a needed custom rule (But I'm guessing not given the otherwise full functioning system). Are you saying that to make VPN work you need to add custom routing info that is not described in the Server docs? If so what?
    Thanks,
    Hunter

  • New mac mini server: Install OS on older Mac Mini?

    I have an UBUNTU server running on the network and was thinking of replacing it with the new Mac Mini Server edition. I also have an older (2009 - intel) Mac Mini.
    I was wondering if I could install the OS X Server OS that comes with the NEW mini on the OLDER Mac Mini and reformat the newer server as a "normal" workstation.
    I can deal with the optical drive issue. I'm just wondering if the OS X Server software is tied to the newer hardware in any way.
    I'd be saving about $300 this way - not a big deal but still worth it. The "traditional" way would be to buy an new Mac mini as a workstation and a copy of Mac OS X Server for the older Mac Mini
    Tom

    I was wondering if I could install the OS X Server OS that comes with the NEW mini on the OLDER Mac Mini and reformat the newer server as a "normal" workstation.
    No. That OS can only be installed on the Mac model it shipped with.

  • Can the new Mac Mini run OSX 10.7.5?

    I have the new 1.4GHz Mac Mini w/4GB Ram. I bought a Mediasonic external 4 bay drive. It's connected by USB 3.0. One of the drives in the enclosure is my old HD with Mac OSX 10.7.5 installed. I've tried booting up from that drive through the USB 3 connection with no luck. Is it an external drive issue or does the new Mac Mini not support that old of an OS? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

    Not outside of a product such as VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion; Mac OS X 10.7.5 doesn't contain the drivers needed to boot that Mac model.

  • New mac mini server won't start up

    Hi I've had the new Mac mini server for 2 day now and it was workinf fine untill I tried to restart it. When I turn it on I just get the apple logo and the gray processing wheel.
    I've have used disc utility to check the disc. But that did nothing.
    It is picking up the startup disc fine.
    Is there anything I can do or will I need to re-install.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Greetings Richard, I ran into a similar situation recently with my mini server. although I believe it to be a problem of my DNS settings getting hosed. I couldn’t log in no matter what log I used-even as the root user.
    I had a back up on the second drive of the mini. I did buy the USB drive when I bought the mini, so I was able to boot off the install disc. Then from the menu I choose the back up partion as the start up drive. After restarting, I was at least able to recover and copy my important files to the back up partition. I have not been able to work out the login issue yet. I’ll probably just do a reinstall on the corrupted drive.
    In any event, it maybe worth it for you to buy the USB drive and boot off of it.
    The verbose mode is for you to be able to login through the command line and trouble shoot from there.
    Also, in safe mode, any files that you may want to change permissions, you may need to change the owner and then change the permissions. This is done with the chown command and then chmod command. You’ll need to use the sudo command so you can become the root user to use the commands and make any changes.
    Hope this will at least help you get further in troubleshooting this issue.

  • New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!
    Thanks for your prompt response,

  • Does anybody know if the new mac mini introduced today will do hd audio bitstream?

    I'm very interested in the new mac mini that has been unveiled today. I planned to buy one in the past but didn't because it seems that it couldn't do bitstreaming for hd audio (true-hd and dts-hd for example).
    As I plan to use it as an htpc with xmbc so this is a feature that is important for me. For what I heard, the last generation of mac mini couldn't not because of the hardware but of a driver issue in mac os x. So I was wondering if that still the case.
    Thanks!

    The previous model supported multi-channel audio via the HDMI but did not officially support HD audio.
    However I seem to recall that XBMC for Mac had already managed to do this on the previous model Mac mini. For clarification since XBMC for Mac managed to do this it would appear the hardware already could do this but Apple have not provided built-in software support for this.
    See http://forums.plexapp.com/index.php/topic/42798-hd-audio-codec-support/
    I could not find a similar statement saying Plex itself supports HD Audio bit-streaming via HDMI.
    With regards to the new Mac mini I do not expect there to be any change. That is OS X itself will not support this, Plex will still not support this but I would still expect XBMC for Mac to support this.
    PS. The MacBluRayPlayer I feel also does not support this.
