Dom0 Disk Device Name Changed... how to rename in vdsdev?

Good Morning,
We had a server "incident" yesterday that left our Solaris ldom host rebooted. When it came back up, one of our guests (ldg1) refuses to bind with the error:
Path /dev/rdsk/emcpower3c is not valid on service domain primary
Sure enough, the emcpower3a device doesn't have a slice 2 (c) any more. My guess is since emcpower3c was presented to the guest as a full disk and the guest used the full disk (without slicing/partitioning it up) as part of a ZFS pool, ZFS overwrote the partition definition, leaving just the emcpower3a device usable.
Now the question is... how do I update the reference in ldm to change the VDS volume device from emcpower3c to emcpower3a? If I drop and recreate the volume, it could end up renaming the device in the ldg1, couldn't it? While I'm sure I could resolve that with ZFS, I'd rather not if I can avoid it. :-)
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Rob

"Macintosh HD" is the name of the drive inside the mac, not the name of the Mac.
To properly change the name of the Mac, go to System Preferences --> Sharing. There is a field to enter the name of the Mac.

The naming convention of the disk device name (/dev/dsk/cXdY)

Hi All,
Please let me know the naming convention of the disk device name (/dev/dsk/cXdY) recognized on OS of a guest domain.
I found from the document of Oracle that the value specified as the id option of ldm add-vdisk command went into Y of cXdY.
However, there is no telling by what kind of rule X portion of cXdY is decided.

Hello
I have found this in the man ldm but I don't know how to related the cN, I mean I don't know where the N comes from. Still checking and trying to get more info.
vdisk
Virtual disks are generic block devices backed by different types of physical devices, volumes, or files. A virtual disk is not synonymous with a SCSI disk and, therefore, excludes the target ID (tN) in the disk name. Virtual disks in a logical domain have the following format: cNdNsN, where cN is the virtual controller, dN is the virtual disk number, and sN is the slice.

Bluetooth Device Name Change

And I do mean "Device Name".
Trying to figure out how to change the device name for a bluetooth device. Now, I know how to change the display name. Select the device in Bluetooth Preferences, click the Gears, and select "Rename." Which is fine. But when you examine the info for the device, their are two names: A "Name" at the top and then a "Display Name."
How do you change the display name? I picked up a refurb trackpad and it still has the previous owners name, Aaron, in the Name block. I can change the Display name to John easy, but I am confounded by the device name.
I tried removing the trackpad, dumping the BT prefs in the library and repairing. Doesn't work.
I even pair it to a Win7 laptop, changed the name there, but Aaron remain when I take it back to the Mac.
So how do you change BOTH names? Is their a way to reset a Trackpad back to factory?

Well I was tired of finding a fix online and ended up calling Apple Care…
Here's is what did the trick:
1. drag the "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file" and the other 2 .plist files (com.apple.BluetoothXXXX.plist) to your desktop
2. shut down your Mac
3. turn it back on, and quickly press "command+option+p+r", HOLD until there comes the second and third "startup sound"
4. login and rename the magic mouse as usual under Bluetooth preferences
5. dump the old "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" from your desktop into trash and move the other two .plists back to their original location
Well it worked for me~
Hope this works for those who couldn't find a clue on how to fix the issue (I tried editing the "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" but couldn't fix it, that's why I had to call Apple Care, you might have to try this if you have no luck editing the "com.apple.Bluetooth.plist" file…)

Device name change - Please help

Hello,
I just noticed that the name of my iMac under the device side bar has been changed to iMac(2) which I have absolutely no idea of how it got changed. Is there a way that I can revert it back to "iMac" has before? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
James

Sometimes this message means that you have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
Sometimes it happens because a device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
Rename the computer in the Sharing preference pane.

Mac os 10.7.5 device name changing

Hello all,
I use an external USB drive to do backups using SuperDuper!, and after the backup under devices in finder, I see my 'Macintosh HD' listed but its name continually changes to 'MBP-MID2010 BKP' (name of external drive) and then back to 'Macintosh HD', is this normal? And I see finder using lots of CPU too and I don't think I have seen this before. I have a MBP mid-2010 and running Lion.
Thanks

This does not sound normal. You need to either 1) boot into the Recovery Drive or 2) boot into your Clone and run Disk Utility > Repair Drive AND Repair Permissions.
It's possible your drive is starting to fail.
Boot into the Recovery Drive by holding down Command R when restarting.
Boot into clone by selecting clone in System Preferences > Startup Disk
If the drive is having problems, it might recommend you erase and reformat the drive. If you are satisified that SuperDuper did a full clone of your data, you can select to erase and reformat the drive. Use SuperDuper to clone back to the empty internal drive.

"find my iphone" device name changed to something offensive

hi,
i used my ipad to find my iphone4S yesterday. listed in my list of devices was also my old iphone3 that I use as an ipod in a docking station in another part of my house. i have small children and no one has access to my old phone to mess with it. what concerns me is that what the name has been changed to as it's really offensive and threatening. it uses swear words and refers to a female in the house, and as that's me i'm freaked out about the location services side of things. on a practical level, is it possible to have my phone hacked in this way and if so what can i do about it? can anyone help?

The name that Find My Phone uses, is the name of your phone: Settings>General>About>Name. Someone had physical access, & changed the name. This is easily done by tapping on the name displayed, then changing it to whatever you like.

Server name changes - how to?

Hi All
We have a PoC consisting of 5 or so servers, no HA, roles combined on the first (master) RDS server, the remaining are for individual Collections.
We are contemplating transitioning to Production, either build from scratch or utilise PoC and expand (by adding HA). However our server naming convention includes letters relating to Dev, Test, or Production status.
Experimentation reveals that a change of server name on the 'master' RDS server renders RDS inactive, it vanishes from Server Manager RDS management tool.
Can anyone recommend an approved/working server rename process?
Is there a best practice guide for Production architecture?
Many thanks
Lea

Hi,
You need first to inventory whatever applications that are installed on the RDSH servers and make sure users will still be able to access after removal of the RDS configuration or migrate these to a different server.
- Then upon what role services you have configured within ther RDS you can:
- Remove Remote desktop services Gateway; RD Connection Broker
- Remove/uninstall RDL CALs from the RDL licensing server.
- Remove the RDSH servers from the RDL licesing configuration.
- Deactivate RDL Licensing server and uinstall the role service
- Uninstall the RDSH role service
You can check this article for step by step points. Also
can go through this link. If you remove the full role then we need to again get all the roles installed again and revert back to default page.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

HT204053 After a name change, how do I create a new Apple ID?

I recently changed my name and would like to create a new Apple ID, then merge all the data from my old Apple ID into my new Apple ID. Is that possible, or will I risk losing all my data?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You shouldn't change your account for iTunes, otherwise you will encounter problems with purchased content.
If you sign out and create a new account for iCloud in system preferences > iCloud and then sign back into your old account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts & calendars, you can manually transfer any data from one account to the other. Let me know if you need assistance doing this.

Stupid newbie question here: When setting up for hot sync, both PC and smartphone will ask for "device name" but how do I know which devide I'm naming? If I'm on the phone, do I specify the phone or the computer; and vice versa.

Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

Project cannot render again due to disk drive name change

Recently I installed a new motherboard and processor. When I came back up my drives all have different labels, except for the C: drive. My encore project which rendered successfully before now gets this error in the middle of rendering and burning to bluray.
Blu-ray Error "device not ready", code: "3", note: "File cannot open. (G:\encorework\sequence 9-10-11\AuthorScriptHDMVSessions\Silence.ac3.11_29_50_18.3.2010_UTC_04_00DST.ves) - ERROR: Error locating.
The new drive is M and no longer G. When I go into encore and check the project all looks well. What file is still looking on G: ?

Hi,
Remove the files from \AuthorScriptHDMVSessions folder and try again.
or
you can save as your project and try again.

How do I change device name after connecting to old machine?

That's right, I've gone ahead and connected my new power book to my old dual G5 in order to get the information onto the new machine.
Now, my new machine has my Dual G5 name as it's device name.
How can I change this so my power book has the correct name?

I wish that was it, but that only changes the name of the "Hard Drive", not the actual device name.
In other words, when browsing the network there's 2 computers with same name.
Any other suggestions?

How to map zfs iostat device name and sar -d device name ?

Hi,
In order to measure the disk performances or bottlenecks, we need to map the disk devices name from zpool iostat -v and the sar -d output ?
Is there a way to map the 2 device names ?
Rgds

"/usr/bin/iostat -xpnCXMmz [interval] [count]" would be much easier to use, quicker, and requires no further work on your part.
Otherwise you'll have to convert the MPXIO device back to the underlying physical devices and from that to their equivalent sd device, then lookup those devices in your sar output. It's doable, but not quick or easy to do:
1) Identify the devices
# luxadm probe
2) For each Node WWN listed in "luxadm probe" run:
# luxadm display WWN
3) Grep the WWN in /etc/path_to_inst to get the ssd number
Example:
--- luxadm probe ---

How to change logical device names

Hi, I would like to change the logical device names for an external StorEdge. Booting into single user mode from a CD and deleting everything in /dev/dsk/ and /dev/rdsk/ as well as the path_to_inst file and then reconfigure booting doesn't work. Solaris remembers which physical device name was allocated to which logical device name. Haven't been able to find any info on how Solaris remembers this. I've thought of booting into init S from CD and renaming the logical device names but I would like to rename them to the next available controller which is c3 and which is probably already "reserved" for the unused onboard SCSI controller. Does anybody have any info on this ?

somewhere there is a page..
