Expand Shared Disk

I have a guest cluster of two nodes using a shared vhdx. What is the practice for expanding the shared disk? When I try to expand it the regular way, I get the following error message:
the requested operation cannot be performed on the virtual disk as it is currently used in shared mode
Thanks
Rob Nunley

You have to shut down the VMs or detach the shared disk from the running VMs before you can resize it. Server 2012R2 doesn't support resizing it while it's mounted.

Shared Disks on AEBS - Secure Passwords - Multiple Users

I posted this on the Digital Life forum. No joy. Not sure if this is an AEBS issue or a Leopard issue.
I need to have different access rights to disks or folders on disks connected to the AEBS. One disk (or folder) is the Everyone shares disk (or folder) for Time Machine backups and shared files.
And, I need to have a separate disk (or folder) for personal information that I can access but other users cannot access.
I already tried setting permissions on the shared disks, but it will not allow me to add users. I already tried changing the AEBS from a Disk Access password to an Accounts schema, but it will not allow me to change folder permissions based on the named Accounts. (.. and I don't want to buy Leopard Server version.)
Anyone got a scheme to make this work?

Yep. You solved my problem. Thank you!
I did not go far enough.
Just in case anyone else wants to try this, some notes.
1.) I had to reformat (Partition and Erase) the disk. When making the conversion from a shared disk to accounts, it loses access to the previous data on the disk. In order to avoid losing that space, it was necessary to physically connect the drive to the computer, reformat, then reattach to the AEBSn; then set up the accounts.
2.) I had to restart the computers to connect to the new shared drive.
3.) This set up is using a separate drive (LaCie Quadra 300 gb) connected via USB to an AEBSn.
I am a happy camper. Thank you for your assistance!

RAC with ASM and shared disks?

Hi all,
Can someone clarify this little point please. If I use ASM as my storage with a RAC database, I have to configure these nodes to shared disks. At least this is what the UG says ...
When you create a disk group for a cluster or add new disks to an existing clustered disk group, you only need to prepare the underlying physical storage on shared disks. The shared disk requirement is the only substantial difference between using ASM in a RAC database compared to using it in a single-instance Oracle database. ASM automatically re-balances the storage load after you add or delete a disk or disk group.
With my 9i databases, I used HCAMP to allow for concurrent VG access among the nodes. My questions are ...
1) How can I share this storage as stated above without using HACMP? My understanding is with 10g I no longer have to use it.
2) Can Oracle's clusterware be used to share storage? I have not seen any indication that it does.
3) Does this mean I still have to use HCAMP with 10g crs to allow shared storage?
Thank you

"...meaning visible to all the participating nodes, which you don't need HACMP..."
This is one step forward, but still not clear. On unix, storage is presented to ASM as raw volumes. As such, how can these volumes be visible on all nodes without using HCAMP (or whatever 3rd party clusterware you are using). Presenting raw volumes on several nodes is something that is not done at OS level without using some clusterware functionality.
I do understand that storage or LUNs can be shared at the SAN fabric level. But then, these LUNs are carved in bug chunks and I would like to be able to allocate storage at much granular level using raw partitions.
So all in all, here are my questions ...
1) On unix platforms, can ASM disks be LUNs, raw volumes, or may be both?
2) If raw volumes, how are these shared (or made visible) without using 3rd party clusterware? Having managed 9i RAC, it was the function of HACMP to make these volumes visible on all nodes, otherwise, we had to imp/exp VGs on all nodes to make them visible.
Thank you

Extreme with shared disk and two users on same mac issue

Hi,
just got my airport extreme + a 1TB hard drive for disk sharing and everything worked great until my wife came home (not her fault )
My setup: I have 1 mac which we both share with two user accounts plus I have a Windows 7 machine. I setup the Airport Extreme drive sharing with 'accounts' as I thought/know this will work with Windows (smb I think) which it sure enough did and I could connect to my share from both my Windows machine and my macbook air and was rather pleased how easy it was.
My wife then came home logged on and she could see the drive and even see the root folder in Finder but saw no files whatsoever and instead of the 'sharing icon' (not sure what to call it looks like a hard disk with wifi signals) she gets a circle with a red bar in it in the finder title... so I disconnected the shared disk in finder and reconnected entering the account details again and things worked for her. I then signed into my account and now I had the same issue... I could see disk but see nothing on it which means I have to disconnect and reconnect etc. etc.
I even setup two seperate accounts now in the AirPort Utility for disk sharing and use one for my account and one for my wifes but the issue remains, by the way no issue on the Windows 7 box.
HELP the whole reason why I got this is so we can share our pictures and videos etc. on 2 machines and 2 computers with 2 accounts.

Yes, I'd like a solution to this one as well! Did you ever find the answer?

HELP Required in Copying file on to a shared disk.

Hi all,
I am seriously struggling to copy a file on to a shared disk using java code. It is a web application and i am supposed to move a file from server to a shared folder on some other system. I can ping the system on to which i need to copy the file. I can manually copy the file on to that disk from the server. But i am unable to do it through Java code. It would be very help ful, if some one can help me on this with a piece of code.
I have administrator access on the server on which application is running.
Deepthi.

Can't you mount the remote share into the local filesystem? Say, by mapping a network drive, or using nfs/smbfs filesystem types? Then you should be able to copy the file as if it was local.

Time Capsule: Files lost after Secure Shared Disk: with accounts

I Changed the Disks: Secure Shared Disk option to 'with accounts' on my Time Capsule and now all files are invisible. It looks the files must be still on the disks because of the amount of free/used bytes used that is displayed.
How can I restore the 'old' files?

Restore the old files by removing the accounts.. ie press and hold reset.. once you go back to a reset all files are available again anyway so the security is illusionary.
If you want to secure files encrypt them.
BTW the old airport utility would have warned you that what you were doing will stop access to your files.
Of course the latest toyland utility probably showed you nothing.
Never start accounts with files on the TC.. you should offload them.. create accounts then load them back.. to the illusion of security at least.

Extreme + Shared Disk through a NAT?

Hi,
I've done a search on this topic but can't find a thread that answers my question - so I beg forgiveness if this has been asked and answered many times...
I've got an Extreme base station hosting a shared disk for a small business LAN. It works great.
This past weekend I put in a D-Link router into one of the offices to help reduce traffic noise (I've got an Ethernet-based interface for outboard automation and it was previously very laggy). The router does exactly what I need it to - except I can't use the Airport Disks menu to mount the Airport Disk.
The Disk shows up in the menu but returns a "Connection Failed" dialog box. I can connect to the Disk directly through Finder > Go > Connect to Server
I'm thinking some ports need to be opened up.
Anyone know where I can find that info?
Or perhaps something else is going on?
Thanks.

Please describe exactly how the D-Link and AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) are connected.
Hi Duane,
Thanks for taking this on...
PowerMac & Control Surface (both static IP) -> D-Link (NOT DHCP, in the 10.0.0.1 range)
then
DLink -> Netgear GigaE 20-port switch
the AEBS goes:
AEBS -> same Netgear switch
then
Netgear Switch -> Firewall/Router (static IP in 192.168.1.1 range) -> DSL
Are you trying to go through the D-Link to get to the disk attached to the AEBS?
Yup. Punch through the D-Link to the AEBS.
Is the D-Link configured so that it's DHCP server is enabled or disabled?
Disabled.

Can MacOS9 connect to Airport Extreme shared disk?

Hi,
I have set up a network in my studio with an Airport Extreme. I attached a 1TB USB disk to it and shared it over the LAN. On the network, there is 1 Win98 PC and a good old PowerMac G4 running MacOS9.2.2. Is there any possibility for the G4 to connect to the shared disk on the AE? Right now, it says that the server I try to connect to uses an incompatible AFP protocol.
Any idea?
Thanks!
nicolas

I am very disappointed by this issue. I have an Airport Extreme with an attached USB drive. I use this to store my movies because they clog up my laptop drive.
I called to my local Apple Store to buy an Apple TV so I could watch these movies on my TV. I asked a 'stupid question' to ensure I could use the Apple TV for what I though would be a very basic and common task. I was astonished to hear that it could not carry out this functionality.
I hope this is something that will be resolved very soon, to be fair Apple products are supposed to work together!

Shared disk (SAN EVA 4400) configuration for ASM on linux RHEL5

Hi all,
I want to install RAC database (oracle 10g on RHEL5). Now we are configurind shared storage for the both servers (nodes). In disk configuration (SAN on EVA 4400) we have created the volume group for the disk to use for ASM and present the disk group to the servers. Actually when we check the server we cannot see the disk (shared storage).

(they are local disks not the shared disk)
My questions are:
- How to mount the disk to be seen in the server
- How to configure the disk for ASM is there any document for this. In my knowledge the disk to use for ASM doesn't need to be formated with a file system and shouldn't see when we run the df command.
Does anybody can help me as it's very urgent for us.
Thank you

Hi all,
NOw the disk is presented to server. but my actual problem is how to create shared partition of this disk for the servers.
Our actual status is we have created one volume group with 500 Gb in the sun and this volume group is called vg_oradata. we will use this storage for OCR, voting disk and the databse file (ASM). A si know from documentation i have to create one shared partition for OCR, one shared partition for Voting disk and another for database.
That i want to do is creating for example :
ocr_partition (25 Gb) : for OCR
vote_partition (25 Gb): for Voting disk
oradata_part1 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part2 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part3 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
My problem is how to create this partition because when i'm trying to create it from Logical Volume Manager of Linux i cannot find them in to servers.
I mean i'm new in system administrator and our SAN vendors also doesn't know how to it in LInux system.
Could you help me please if possible.
My system is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5 and i'm going to use Oracle 1Og RAC.
Thank you

SQL 2008 R2 cluster installation failure - Failed to find shared disks

Hi,
We were asked by the PSS engineer to give the following privileges the account used to install SQL Server - i am referring to the user domain account as apposed to the SQL service account. These privileges were already applied to the
SQL service account prior to the SQL installation. Assigning these privileges to the user account resolved the issue.
Act as Part of the Operating Sywstem = SeTcbPrivileg
  Bypass Traverse Checking = SeChangeNotify
  Lock Pages In Memory = SeLockMemory
  Log on as a Batch Job = SeBatchLogonRight
  Log on as a Service = SeServiceLogonRight
  Replace a Process Level Token = SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege
Thanks for everyones assistance.

Cannot connect to USB shared disk

The other day got my new Airport Extreme-n and up unitl now it has worked solidly. The most annoying problem is accessing shared USB disks. I have attached a USB disk to the ABE and it is recognized. Then, enabled disk sharing with a simple disk password for testing purposes. The is as far as the documentation goes however.
I am guessing the Airport Disk Utility is supposed to mount these shared USB disks. The only thing I am seeing is "NO Disk Found"
The disk has been formatted in both HFS and FAT32 and still the same results, nothing. I even accessing the shared disk through a windows share and sometimes I can but it will not let me add or retrieve files.
Ant help would be great. Thank you.

Unfortunately this has become a known issue in the meantime and Apple is supposed to be working on it. Usually this happens when the APExtreme gets disconnected from your computer (e.g. power loss or taking your mobile mac to another location). The following is not really a solution but better then nothing:
1) Connect your USB HD directly to your computer and wait for recognition and mounting
2) Disconnect properly
3) reconnect the USB HD to your APE
4) it should be recognised
5) hope for a soon software-update

VSS RevertToSnapshot Method gives error for Clustered Shared Disks.

Hi,
This is in reference to https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/945361
Its mentioned here that VSS RevertToSnaposhot is not supported on windows 2003 and 2008 for CLuster Shared Disks.I am trying the same on Windows 2012 and getting error "8004230c" which says volume is not supported for this operation.I wanted to
confirm whether RevertToSnapshot method for supporting Clustered Shared Disks\Volumes has be added in 2012 or not ?

Path to windows shared disk

Hi,
what would be a typical path to mount a windows shared drive as a device? I suppose I have to choose SMB/cifs but then? SHould it look lije this:
//SERVERNAME/SHAREDFOLDERNAME or use the IP like this 192.168.5.555/SHAREDFOLDERNAE

Thank-You Jason and Changhai,
i think i've found the problem.
i do not have enough memory for the second node.
i am running OUL 5 2.6.9-42.0.0.0.1.ELsmp with PV
and could see the shared disks in vm.cfg on both nodes. if i shutdown node1 and startup node2 i could see the shared disk.
Thanks for your helps.

Changed to "Securing shared disk: with accounts" and lost previous data?

I installed a TC in July and have been doing Time Machine backups to it ever since. Today, I decided to add File Sharing accounts using the Airport Utility. I created two accounts. The next time Time Machine ran, it failed on login. I reconfigured it to use one of the two new accounts, and (not surprisingly, in retrospect) it began a complete, new backup.
The Finder tells me that 150GB of the TC disk is already in use. I hope that's the space used by my former backups... but how do I find them? Whenever I try and open the TC in the Finder, I'm prompted for one of the new account/passwords, neither of which allows me to view any of the former data.
Is it possible to access data that was written to the TC disk prior to my switching to account-controlled file sharing?

Actually, it turns out it was still there and accessible. I went back to Airport Utility and switched "Securing shared disk" back to using a disk password, as before, and there was the "full" disk . . . containing my original sparseimage file, as well as a new Users folder and a Shared folder. The latter contained the sparseimage file from the new backup.
I hope that I can replace the new sparseimage file (in /Shared) with the original one (in /), and switch back to using accounts to control access to the TC disk.

Image browsing very slow - iPhoto library on a shared disk image

Hello,
I'm experiencing serious slowness when browsing images with iPhoto. I get the spinning beach ball for several seconds every time go to next image. According to the activity monitor my CPU load is close to 100% when this happens. The problems started when I got a new camera and had to update to Photo 11 to get the RAW support. Also, I had to update to Mountain Lion to get iPhoto 11 running.
My library is on a shared disk image, and my wife and I are sharing the same library. I have increased the size of the image a couple of times as my library has grown. We have 17680 pictures in the library. Mostly RAW format.
I have tried flushing the iphoto cache and rebuilding the library. No effect. Then I created a new library (non-shared) and that seemed to work fine. The problem seems to be related to the disk image. I don't know what to do? Is there something I could try?
I'm running OS X 10.8.4 and iPhoto 9.4.3. There is about 100 GB free space on my boot drive. Here is my hardware Overview:
Model Name:    iMac
Model Identifier:    iMac9,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2,66 GHz
Number of Processors:    1
Total Number of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    6 MB
Memory:    4 GB
Bus Speed:    1,07 GHz
Thanks,
Lasse

Using a disk image in the Shared folder has worked for few that it's not a method I would advise using in any situation. Get an external HD as TD has suggested. You'll be a lot more satisfied with the results if you do.
