Fiber Card failed

Dear Guru
Hope you may give me some information about the problem.
Our company SAP is ECC6.0 running on AIX 5.3 with oracle database.
Few day ago, the server log showed one of the fiber NIC card on our development server was failed. I already arranged the hardware vendor to come down to change the device next week, but before that, may anyone confirm with me whether the hardware key will be updated by replacing a new fiber NIC card? And do I need to reactiviate the SAP again?
Thanks

Hi,
If fiber card fails then hardware vendor has to play the key role. After he replaces the card he may have to change the WWN number at the EVA side . One he was able to mount the file systems with the same data then there is no need to check at SAP side. Only thing yo have to monitor the SAP application completely. Also check the run the DB verify in DB13 for any block corruptions.
Thanks,
Chaitanya

No fiber card + cable

hi, today i installed the XServe 2 x 2 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon along with XServe RAID 3.5TB..
1st thing i did i open the RAID Admin and created a new array with RAID 5, i noticed that initializing is so slow and its taking forever to be ready, it goes 1% about every half an hour! is this normal?!
2nd, i didnt order the Fiber card + Fiber cables with the XServe, -didnt know they are important for setting up-, and now i cant see the Drives, and not in disk utility... is there a way to format the HD's without fibers? using the ethernet?

Maybe if you explain what you're trying to do it would be easier to give you advice that way. The XRAID has two controllers - one for each side. You'll need two cables if you use both sides simultaneously - but each card has 2 ports so you only need one card per RAID box.
When you are talking about breaking the RAID into disks are you talking about making of the actual RAIDs or splitting sides into smaller slices using either LUNs or partitions?
RAID 5 is an n-1 system so a 3 disk RAID only gives you 2 disks of storage so breaking a side into a 4 disk RAID 5 and another 3 disk RAID 5 doesn't make much sense because you're losing 2 disks worth of storage. If you want the protection of RAID 5 make either a 6 or 7 disk RAID 5 and then look into slicing it or partitioning it into smaller logical Volume sizes. Another note - the more disks you use in a RAID the faster it is so it is another argument for keeping as many disks in the RAID as possible.
Whether you make a 6 or 7 disk RAID 5 is matter of choice. If you use 6 disks and a drive fails the "hot spare" will automatically be used by the RAID to rebuild the RAID. If you use all 7 disks and drive fails the RAID will not rebuild until you physically replace the drive and if another drive fails while it's waiting you loose the data from the RAID. Most people opt for the 6+1 configuration but if you want the extra 500GB and you back-up consistently the 7 drive isn't a terrible option. Because the controllers are separate you need a hot spare for each side if you want to go that route.
If the Xserve is the only machine that will directly reference the RAID then the easiest way to make volumes from a RAID is partitioning. Once the RAID is done initializing you format it (presumably HFS+ w/ journaling) and partition it into as many volumes of whatever size you want. LUN masking is more restrictive because all the volumes need to be equally sized but it allows you physically mask off LUNs if more than one computer is "seeing" the RAID directly. If slicing the RAID in half is your goal then use whichever you're comfortable with - keeping future expansion in mind.
Hope that helps. Good luck,

My graphic card failed but passes the recall test - surely Apple would replace it? How wrong can you be!

Even though I had read about the product recall on some iMacs, mine had never had an issue, but to be safe, the plan was to take it to an Apple store to have them test and replace it.
A week ago, on occasion, the screen suddenly started going completely gray, everything else seemed to be working fine, and any apps running would continue to do so. Without being able to see the screen, the only options was to power it down, run any diagnostic test and start normally. It passed pro tools tests, with no warnings so I thought it could have been a software issue. After many restarts without anything else plugged in, the iMac appeared to function for maybe a day or so, but gray screen whenever it wanted to.
So I called Apple, they told me to get it into a service centre, and they would do further tests. Whilst on the phone to the engineer, my iMac with the gray screen suddenly refused to power back up. The engineers tell me that the graphic card fails any benchmarking tests with corruption and the same gray screen issue, so it looks promising yes? No. The specific tests that the machine must fail for the recall - passed.
Having spent almost an hour on the phone to a Apple senior advisor today, he tells me that it is not covered by the recall !!
The machine is one of the matching serial numbered machines in the recall, it has suddenly developed a graphic card issue that leaves the machine unusable, it suddenly started having this problem within weeks of the recall being announced - It has the faulty card in it, it has the fault - yet it does not qualify?
Can someone please tell me what I could have done to get this card replaced without the estimated £250 charge to get my machine running again.
I am a die hard Apple enthusiast, I have converted everyone I have been in contact with to purchase from them for their legendary customer services and yet feel perplexed as to what I should do next.
My first reaction is to raise a big fuss about the situation at an Apple store, but I can't blame them too much if my machine does not match the recall criteria - but come on, it can't be a coincident that this card has failed now, can it?
What do I do next. I don't want to take my machine over to proper Apple store and raise a fuss, that would be counter productive. But really Apple
Anyone have a suggestion - would you buy another iMac that could have the same problem and get the same response?
To any Apple engineers out there who can look at a case number my ref number is 500592345, apparently there is a lot of info in there, but nothing that will help me!

Apple engineers do not participate here. The only replies you will normally get are from people who are, like me, just fellow users, and there's nothing any of us can do to intervene in this matter.
If Apple says that your system is not covered by the recall, there's not much you can do. You can try taking your system to an Apple Store and politely - do not "make a fuss"; polite but gently insistent is much more likely to get you useful results - ask for assistance. Or you can call Apple tech support, ask to speak with customer relations, and explain the situation to them and request coverage under the recall program.
If all that fails, though, then you're probably at a dead end and will need to pay for the service if you want it done.
Regards.

Time Machine not working after ethernet card failed

A couple of weeks back my iMac Core Duo's ethernet failed. As a logic board replacement for a 3.5 year old iMac would be expensive I instead bought an Apple USB Ethernet adapter (which works great). However, now Time Machine will not work, it says it cannot find the built in network interface. It does not matter whether I connect the external drive directly via firewire or over the network to my Mac Mini (which will backup with either connection).
Here is the console error:
+Time Machine: Error setting backup path: Error Domain=com.apple.TimeMachine.Preferences Code=-1 UserInfo=0x1864bdf0 "Time Machine could not be configured. The built-in network interface could not be found."+
+_CSBackupGetMachineMACAddress - IOServiceGetMatchingServices did not find an ethernet service with kIOPrimaryInterface true+
I tried the instructions on the Apple Support page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3275#5, but that did not work. Can anyone help?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
It's a long shot, but try a "Full Reset" of Time Machine, per item #B3 of the Time Machine - Troubleshooting *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
TM uses your Mac's Ethernet Address, which is embedded in the hardware of, guess what, your logic board, to identify your computer. This is how it keeps the backups for each Mac separate, so you can back-up more than one Mac to the same place without conflicts.
To find this address, use the System Profiler app (click the Apple icon at the left of your Menubar, then +About this Mac,+ then +More Info.+
Select Network in the sidebar, then Ethernet then find a line like this: +*MAC Address: 0a:1b:2c:3d:4e:5f+* That code, omitting the colons, is what TM puts in a hidden file on your TM volume to identify it as your Mac's backups.
Since your internal Ethernet card failed, you may not see that at all. If not, neither, apparently, can Time Machine. Other than getting a new logic board, I don't think there's a workaround.

2 Xraids 1 Fiber Card

Hi,
I wonder if you can help, I have currently 2 Servers hosting 2 seperate Xraid systems. However im about to lose the one server. I am upgrading the one Xraid Lun with new Drives and i need to copy the data back on to the new LUN on the upgraded Raid from the other Raid, there is a stock shortage of Fiber Cards, otherwise i would have used an additional card, so is there anyway for me to Connect the 1 raid with the Data (1 Volume) to the server and the new Volume to copy the data over safely ? its another 3 weeks till another fiber card will arrive and getting a fiber switch for 1 transfer of data isnt an option.
Any Advice Please ?

The other missing part is how the arrays are configured.
With two XServe RAIDs, you actually have four separate controllers. In your current configuration this probably means two connected to Server A and two connected to Server B.
The question is how do the servers use their two arrays. If they're mirrored you could just break the mirror and mount one half on RAID 1 and one half of RAID 2 on the server to copy the data - you'd need to be careful when you rebuild the mirror, though.
If the RAIDs are striped, though, then you have a problem - you can't disconnect any of the RAIDs without losing data. In this case your only option is a second fiber channel card or a fiber channel switch so that you can connect both RAIDs to the same host.
Since you have two servers, though, can't you move the fiber channel card in the second server into the first server? At least for the duration of combining the data?
If not then your only other option is to transfer the data over the network. It'll take longer but may be the only way.

Who has had a PCI-DIO-32HS card fail, ever?

I've looked through the forum somewhat and I've found little concerning the card itself failing. For instance, I found something about the card failing due to driving it with a TTL high before it was powered, but that was about it as far as actual death of the card. Hence, I'm wondering if others besides myself, and therefore my design using the PCI-DIO-32HS, have killed or had the death of a PCI-DIO-32HS DAQ card and what was determined to be the root cause in your case(s).
Also, by chance, did your card's death also take down the PC such that it wouldn't POST (Power On Self Test) until the card was removed?
Thank you all.

First, the issue has not been resolved yet. I still have boards dying. At $1500 a pop, this issue needs to be resolved.
I was mistaken about two things said earlier: 1) The G card has now failed; therefore, the recovery was a fluke, and 2) I thought 8.x was installed in the design's PC, but as it turns out it has been 9.x. (The version numbers are tough to remember. Sorry. I think it's 9.1.7.) Is there a known issue with that one also?
What I really want to know is why the original board I returned to NI failed. I want to know specifically what slot contacts are holding up the PC, keeping it from performing its POST? I don't want to hear any more suggestions for installing version x.y.z. without also having a specific reason for why it should work. These cards are too expensive. There's something very wrong with this design such that I can't keep the DAQ card alive using Traditional DAQ software that has run for years. The system works until (it seems) you think the problem's been resolved, and then whammo! An esoteric error number in a window is thrown up. (It's not just one error. The error can change as you try in vain to avoid cycling power as the only way out of the now dead software.) You can't run the software past a button click due to the error window, but yet the PC itself works fine...unless you cycle the power: NO POST.
What on earth in this design could be killing these cards? The PCI slot was tested via substitution with a video card and there was no issue found. I just can't keep the DAQ card alive. Help! Trying version x.y.z of the driver is not a good enough solution. Running software should not just out of the blue blow up a DAQ card and cripple the PC only at power-up. Rather, there should be an error, some incompatibility indication before the card is dead. Frying a $1.5K card...eventually...is not how you find the source of an incompatibility issue. Like I said, HELP!
I'm suspecting the software is creating a bus contention somehow which doesn't end in an error but, rather, an internally shorted IC, where I'm guessing it's the large NI ASIC just above the card edge due to the considerably noticeable heat generated while the PC tries to POST, a short that is undetectable except that the software stops working, but nevertheless a short that won't let the PC continue its POST if power is removed and then reapplied to the PC. It's like the software has had a "sacrifice(PCI-DIO-32HS, legacy_sw);" function embedded into it that only gets called under certain circumstances, circumstances that involve the power-up sequence of a PC. Help!

100mbps multi-port fiber card for Sol10?

Does anyone know of a multi-port fiber card (PCI) with Solaris 10 support that supports 100Base-FX ? We have a requirement to provide 4 such ports for a customer, and are having a tough time finding such a beast. We can use either quad-port or 2 dual-port cards, but we don't have enough available PCI slots to use 4 single-port cards.
Basically, we're looking for something similar to this, but with support for Solaris 10:
http://www.aei-it.com/hardware/fastenet/p430fx.htm
We've been informed by the vendor that these only support up to Sol 8. We're working on getting eval units in, but are wondering if anyone has used anything similar in the past?
Thanks!
Eric

Due to customer specification constraints, media converters/switches are unacceptable. :( First thing we thought of, too. Also, 3 of the 4 ports are connecting to 100mbps digital hardware boards via UDP, so the mixed speeds probably wouldn't work out if we were to use gigabit fiber.

TS3630 Is this replacement program still in place? I have just had a card fail that is listed as being faulty. Serial number ending 1M5A

Is this replacement programme still in place? I have just had a card failed in my Mac Pro with a serial number ending in 1M5A

It should be if you meet the requirements described in the article:
This program covers affected ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT video cards three years from the original date of purchase or until July 31, 2011, whichever provides longer coverage.
However, since these cards were last used in the 2008 Mac Pros and the next model came out in early 2009 I would find it unlikely your card meets the requirements unless you bought a refurbished Mac Pro or bought a 2008 Mac Pro the had been sitting in someone's inventory for a very long time.

What happen when SSL daughter card fails?

I'm using two CSM with SSL duaghter card with redundancy.
What happen if the card fails? CSM fails too?
Thanks.
Andrea

When the SSL daughter card failure is detected, the SSL daughter card is restarted causing all SSL flows to fail, and they will need to be re-established.
During a supervisor engine switch over, the standby CSM-S fails to initialize and the new standby supervisor engine prints the following message for all CSM-S ports:
%PM-STDBY-4-INT_FAILUP:GigabitEthernet7/2 failed to come up.No internal VLAN available

It should work. I assume you don't have any other network connections being used (such as ethernet to a WAN). Regardless, you can't hurt anything by trying.

Cheapest place to purchase a Fiber card?

Anyone know cheapest place to purchase a Fiber card PCI-E 2GB and mini Gbic's?

Is my fiber channel card failing?

Is there a way to test a fiber channel card.
I believe mine is failing, but don't know how to confirm.
Every few days the fiber channel links to my Xserve Raid go down.
Raid Admin shows no trouble.
Usually it comes back after rebooting the Xserve.
This is making things extremely difficult, please help!

Here's my situation. At home we use 3 different Macs
all on the local wireless Airport network. One is a
G5 that I use in my home office, another is my wife's
G4 laptop and the other is a relatively new iMac - it
is the iMac that is a problem.
Is this a new Intel iMac?
Are you using WPA?
Some Intel iMacs have issues connecting to a WPA encrypted network which results in a slow network connection.
I have read that there is an issue with the Intel iMac and wireless speeds when using WPA?
Are you using WPA?
What happens if you change to WPA2 ?
Or WEP?
