Intel Xserve/Cluster node

Are there any plans for a quad xserve and/or cluster node? We are looking into buying some machines for rendering soon, and the G5s are much more powerful right now, but the cluster nodes would look quite nice in our rack

Apple have not announced the next revision of the XServe, nor whether they'll be faster G5 or Intel processor-based.
Since Apple haven't announced it, no one here can tell you what any revision will look like, nor when it will be available.

  • Dead xserve cluster node

    One of our Xserve Cluster Nodes (DP G5 2.0 GHz) died over the holidays. Pressing the power button does nothing... no lights, fans, etc. However, the red light inside the case is on. Is this a power supply problem, or does the red light indicate it is something else? (I tried plugging into a different UPS)

    Update: It was not the power supply. Swapped supply with another machine and it seems to be something else. Any ideas?

  • Xserve Cluster node does not (really) switch on

    Hi.
    I've got a pretty strange problem.
    Today, after a long break, I have tried to switch on my Xserve G5 cluster node. The yellow ID light was constantly on, the power light was white, machine was powered on, and nothing happened. It did not boot, did not fail -- just sat there with both lights on.
    Then, I tried to get into OF by using panel lights method -- it didn't work. No matter how long I was keeping status button pressed after a power on, nothing happened -- none of the activity lights were on or flashing.
    Next thing I tried to do was to reset a PMU.
    After that the situation is exactly the same except that the power light is no longer on -- although the machine starts up and the status light is on. I am still not able to enter any OF commands using front panel.
    All in all, it looks like the bootstrap processor is on, but none of the G5s is getting up (for example, even if I take out all of the memory, nothing changes and no failures are indicated)
    Any ideas?

    Try this:
    1 - Remove the battery from the machine for 24 hours. Replace.
    2 - Reset the PMU.
    3 - Try to boot.
    If you still have a problem, disconnect the firewire cable from the front panel. Try to boot.
    If you STILL have a problem, you're at the hardware change stage. It could be a number of problems, but it's likely either the main logic board, the power supply, or the front panel board.

  • G5 XServe Cluster Node Server Heat Issue

    Hi All!
    I was wondering if extreme heat at the rear (SouthBridge?) of the unit is normal? The CPUs are cool as a cucumber, but the rear is gets warm when idle, and very hot when under load. It's concerning us so much that we want to replace the little heatsink back there with a fan or at least a larger heatsink.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    So, it has been running over the past week now. It remains constantly between 55 and 60C at all times, regardless of server load. (We put an external temp sensor on it, since it does not have an integrated one.) When holding my hand to the server housing, it feels quite hot. Also, it is the hottest chip on the server, even hotter than the CPUs which run around 50C, according to the Server Monitor.
    Is this normal? How are other G5s running? Is it hot to the touch when feeling the rear underside? (... of the housing! ... just to clarify, that sentence may be misconstrued) This is our first XServe, and since we bought it used, we are a bit skeptical, since none of our previous DELL servers ran this hot.
    Thanks!

  • Setup of G5 Cluster Node as a Standalone Server....

    I have tried to no avail to try and setup a G5 XServer cluster node as a new Mac OS X 10.6 server. Here is where I screwed up - I pulled the drive out not realizing that creating a new partition on my Mac Book Pro would not be compatible and toasted the partition or rather made it so it was intel based instead of Power PC based and further went about installing the OS via "target mode" and went all the way through and realized that the server would not recognize it. So tonight I went back created 2 new partitions on the drive made them Power PC based but the server still does not recognize the drives when I boot up using the Option key. I get 2 buttons (refresh and I'm guessing a next) but the refresh puts up a clock for about 10 - 15 seconds and comes back and the next does nothing visible.
    Here is what I have tried so far:
    1) Tried booting up with the different boot commands
    a) #3 Start up from internal drive
    b) #5 Setup in Target mode but I don't have a PowerPC Mac to install from
    3) #6 Reset NVRam
    2) Boot with the letter "c" but nothing happens other then getting to a window with a single folder that alternates between a question and the mac guy logo (sorry don't know the exact name)
    3) Boot with a Fire Wire external BluRay DVD player but does not seem to recognize it at all (could be the BluRay I guess have not thought of that)
    And I'm sure I have tried a few other things but currently at wits end. I have a video card (3rd one was the charm) so I have video but have no idea how to get my Mac OS X Server software installed on this machine....
    Any help or suggest would be greatly appreciated - oh I'm sure by now you know I'm new to Macs - I was an old Apple ][e guy but have been on PCs since the late 80's and finally got back to Apple - love them.

    I have tried to no avail to try and setup a G5 XServer cluster node as a new Mac OS X 10.6 server.
    Stop right there.
    10.6 is Intel-only. It won't boot a PowerPC-based server. It doesn't matter about the disk format, or anything else. 10.5.x is as far as you can go with this machine.

  • Cluster node as a server

    Is setting up a cluster node as a stand alone file server possible? What would it take?

    Main concern is if there is a firmware stop point that expects a physical or logical link to a normal server before a cluster node will boot
    OK, I'm confused. What makes you think a cluster node isn't a normal server?
    The only difference between the XServe Cluster Node and the XServe (at least, the PowerPC one it's based on) is the single drive bay (vs.3) and lack of optical drive. That's it. It comes with the same version of the OS. The same ports, runs the same apps and does the same thing as the non-cluster node version.
    Can a cluster node be put into firewire mode with the T option, followed by a drive restore from a pre-configured Mac X server disk image....avoiding all the command line stuff. Or for that matter...just wapping out the drive with a pre-configured Mac X server drive?
    Sure. The only thing you can't do it put a second drive inside the machine since, by definition, it only has a single drive bay.

  • Reformatting a XServe G5 Cluster Node

    I got my hands on a pair of G5 cluster nodes (the ones with a single drive bay and no optical) and I need to intall Mac OSX server on it. I tried removing the hard drive and using my macBook Pro to install to it, but I can't install mac Os X using the apple partition map, since I am working from and intel machine.
    The G5 Cluster node has no video card so I can't even plug in my external reader and install it from there.
    A Little Help Please? I am not a server guy, I'm a video guy but this happens to have fallen into my hands.
    Thanks,
    Charles

    Hey Chuck,
    You can install whatever partition map you need from the OS X Server installer. Before you begin the installation, go to "Utilities" and open Disk Utility.
    Select the server's hard drive (be careful NOT to select your MacBook's drive, you don't want to erase that). Go to the "Partition" tab. Select "1 Partition" from the Volume Scheme popup. Then click on the "Options" button and and select "Apple Partition Map". Hit Apply. This should ensure that your XServe has the appropriate boot record.

  • Xserve G5 Cluster Nodes and Built-in distributed encoding in Compressor 4.

    My IT friend just handed me down a rack full of XServe G5 nodes. ( They left the Apple camp as the result of Xserve being killed by Apple - i wonder if Adobe or Avid makes any highend servers boxes. LoL ). In the past running a render farm under QMaster was part voodoo part witchcraft. Apple is advertising " Built-in distributed encoding " as one of main features of Compressor4. Has any one tried to install compressor 4 on Xserve non-intel machines ? Where do i get the Qmaster from download file that App Store automatically dispatches to my NLE machine ?

    Compressor 4 won't run on G5's.

  • Can I use cluster node for metadata controller?

    Just as the subject says - can I use a cluster node as a secondary metedata controller, or do I need to use an Xserve? We already have an Xserve we would use as the primary controller

    I have done this and attached the node to my iBook by firewire and booted the node in target mode and set the ServerHD as the startup for my iBook. Upon restart my iBook was an OSX server

  • Intel xserve + OS10.5

    I'm about to set up a small office network based around an xserve but with the advent of Intelised Mac and the prospect of OS 10.5, I'm now in a quandary as to whether to wait. We will soon start replacing the older office iMacs with new Intelised ones and my concern is that I'm setting myself up for problems if I buy a current G5 xserve.
    Does anyone know whether buying a current xserve will lead me up a blind alley in terms of hardware and software compatibility, system performance and cost.
    Ta

    Unlike the desktop and portable markets, where dual booting or running apps in virtualization are attractive, I can't believe that anyone will be doing the same with servers unless they are just playing around. Apple XServes are strong for AFP file services or SAN (XSAN) deployments, and Open Directory... but if you need a PDC, for example, you'll likely buy an Opteron or alternate Conroe platform w/o OS X as it will likely be faster at the same price or cheaper at the same performance level than Apple's hardware. Hardware performance of Apple gear, of course, has always been somewhat of a myth and effective marketing. However, not to say that the dependable hardware combined with the value of OS X isn't the more important issue.
    A maxed out G5 XServe moves like a snail compared to the current maxed out Opteron systems, but they are CHEAP and they run OS X, which for some is a value, for others it is not. In the server market, Apple ends up being the budget solution, who would have thought?
    To answer your question, I would buy now, because you are buying OS X, I presume. In the future, when the processing power jumps up 10 times, you can evaluate your system architecture and maybe then you can decide that you only need to buy 3 servers instead of 10... or something like that, but if the OS X server is going to meet your needs now, for the services you need to run now, you may not even get any appreciable value from a faster machine, especially if you have to wait for several months to a year. If your really scared about the hardware investment, buy a used G4 or G5 machine (like was mentioned), and install OS X server on it... maybe you only need the power of a G mini or something to tide you over for the Intel XServe? Or buy a G5 cluster unit... no one really needs the optical drive in most environments anyways.
    The one thing no one has mentioned so far is that (at
    least currently), we would not be switching from Mac
    to Win without a restart. That's got to be a huge
    PITA for a server on a routine basis.
    I just got a single G4 xserve on ebay and max'ed the
    ram (2GB) and 4x 180 GB drives for a mixed Mac and
    PeeC network.
    For what it's worth, there is still a lot of fight in
    the old gal left for a small fraction of the cost of
    the latest and greatest. 2 or 3 generations ago Macs
    still offer a great value NOW.

  • Is cluster node g5 2.0 capable of being a parts machine for g5 normal serve

    Is cluster node g5 2.0 capable of being a parts machine for g5 normal serve?
    Is the power supply, motherboard, CPU, memory, etc the same?
    I have a g5 that was taken out of service for 3 weeks and when put back in service does nothing at all when powering up....no sounds..no lights...nothing. In another thread checking the PRAM was suggested. Someone else suggested swapping out the power supply. One thing may need to another and I may need a parts machine. Will this approach work? Is a cluster node different only in case style....everything else the same?

    Hi
    I think you should be all right as there is a logic board variant that is common to both - 661-3153. However there are 3 different EEE codes for this part number so double check first. You could call your nearest Apple Authorized Repair Specialist and they should be able to tell you based on the Serial Numbers of both units. Typically this number will begin with CK number.
    There are minor differences between the two as you have probably noticed. For example the XServe G5 comes with an optical drive whereas the Cluster Node does not. Similarly the XServe G5 has a three headed hard drive cable whereas for the cluster node its a single connector.
    Hope this helps, Tony

  • Cluster node addition fails on cleanup

    We have a 2 node cluster setup already
    (2) HP BL460c G8 servers connected to a VNX5300 SAN (Nodes 1 & 2)
    Server 2012 Datacenter installed
    Quarum: Node + Disk
    all failover tests went perfectly and all VMs are healthy
    Verification on the cluster show some warnings but no failures
    We have rebuilt a server (node 3) renamed it and have run a single machine verification test to see if it is suitable for clustering. it succeeded with minor warnings
    We ran verification on all three machines and received the formentioned warnings but no game stoppers, however when trying to add the host to the cluster we get the following error in the logs:

    This happens after the node is added to the cluster but reports a failure on cleanup processes and reverts everything back. I have done all of this under my domain_admin account.
    before and after the attempt to add the NetFT adapter is in media disconnect, during the attempts it does pull down a 169 address as it is supposed to

    I am at a loss, and would appreciate any additional help as i have spent 3 days researching this to try and find the cause.

    Hi,
    The error message mentioned an IPv6 address, have you enable IPv6 network for the cluster?
    Check the IPv6 network configuration in the 3<sup>rd</sup> node server, what’s the status, enabled or disabled?
    When two or more cluster nodes are running IPv6 for heartbeat communications, they will require any additional nodes that join to also running IPv6. If the node server has IPv6 disabled, it will fail to join.
    Also whether these cluster node server has antivirus software installed, you may temporarily disable it and rejoin the new node.
    Check that and give us feedback for further troubleshooting, for more information please refer to following MS articles:

  • SCVMM losing connection to cluster nodes

    Hey guys'n girls, I hope this is the right forum for this question. I already opened a ticket at MS support as well because it's impacting our production environment indirectly, but even after a week there's been no contact. Losing faith in MS support there
    The problem we're having is that scvmm is that a host enters the 'needs attention' state, with a winrm error 0x80338126. I guess it has something to do with the network or with Kerberos, and I've found some info on it, but I still haven't been able to solve
    it. Do you guys have any ideas?
    Problem summary:
    We are seeing an issue on our new hyper-v platform. The platform should have been in production last week, but this issue is delaying our project as we can't seem to get it stable.
    The problem we are experiencing is that SCVMM loses the connection to some of the Hyper-V nodes. Not one
     specific node. Last week it happened to two nodes, and today it happened to another node. I see issues with WinRM, and I expect something to do with kerberos. See the bottom of this post for background details and software versions.
    The host gets the status 'needs attention', and if you look at the status of the machine, WinRM gives an error. The error is:
    Error (2916)
    VMM is unable to complete the request. The connection to the agent cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local was lost.
    WinRM: URL: [http://cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local:5985], Verb: [ENUMERATE], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/cimv2/Win32_Service], Filter: [select * from Win32_Service where Name="WinRM"]
    Unknown error (0x80338126)
    Recommended Action
    Ensure that the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service and the VMM agent are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTP/HTTPS traffic. Ensure that VMM server is able to communicate with cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local over WinRM by successfully
    running the following command:
     winrm id –r:cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local
    This
     problem can also be caused by a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service crash. If the server is running Windows Server 2008 R2, ensure that KB 982293 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982293)
    is installed on it.
    If the error persists, restart cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local and then try the operation again. /nRefer to
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.
    Doing a simple test from the VMM server to the problematic cluster node shows this error:
    PS C:\> hostname
    CC1-VMM-01
    PS C:\> winrm id -r:cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local
    WSManFault
        Message = WinRM cannot complete the operation. Verify that the specified computer name is valid, that the computer is accessible over the network, and that a firewall exception for the WinRM service is enabled and allows access from this
    computer. By default, the WinRM firewall exception for public profiles limits access to remote computers within the same local subnet.
    Error number:  -2144108250 0x80338126

    I CAN connect from other hosts to this problematic cluster node:
    PS C:\> hostname
    CC1-HYP-16
    PS C:\> winrm id -r:cc1-hyp-10.domaincloud1.local
    IdentifyResponse
        ProtocolVersion =
    http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
        ProductVendor = Microsoft Corporation
        ProductVersion = OS: 6.3.9600 SP: 0.0 Stack: 3.0
        SecurityProfiles
            SecurityProfileName =
    http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman/secprofile/http/spnego-kerberos
    And I can connect from the vmm server to all other cluster nodes:
    PS C:\> hostname
    CC1-VMM-01
    PS C:\> winrm id -r:cc1-hyp-11.domaincloud1.local
    IdentifyResponse
        ProtocolVersion =
    http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman.xsd
        ProductVendor = Microsoft Corporation

        SecurityProfiles
            SecurityProfileName =
    http://schemas.dmtf.org/wbem/wsman/1/wsman/secprofile/http/spnego-kerberos
    So at this point only the test from the cc1-vmm-01 to cc1-hyp-10 seems to be problematic.
    I followed the steps in the page
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 (which is referred to above). I tried the VMMCA, but it can't really get it working the way I want, or it seems to give outdated recommendations.
    I tried checking for duplicate SPN's by running setspn -x on affected machines. No results (although I do not understand
     what an SPN is or how it works). I rebuilt the performance counters.
    It tried setting 'sc config winrm type= own' as described in [http://blinditandnetworkadmin.blogspot.nl/2012/08/kb-how-to-troubleshoot-needs-attention.html].
    If I reboot this cc1-hyp-10 machine, it will start working perfectly again. However, then I can't troubleshoot the issue, and it will happen again.
    I want this problem to be solved, so vmm never loses connection to the hypervisors it's managing again!
    Background information:
    We've set up a platform with Hyper-V to run a VM workload. The platform consists of the following hardware:
    2 Dell R620's with 32GB of RAM, running hyper-v to virtualize the cloud management layer (DC's, VMM, SQL). These machines are called cc1-hyp-01 and cc1-hyp-02. They run the management vm's like cc1-dc-01/02, cc1-sql-01, cc1-vmm-01, etc. The names are self-explanatory.
    The VMM machine is NOT clustered.
    8 Dell M620 blades with 320GB of RAM, running hyper-v to virtualize the customer workload. The machines are
    called cc1-hyp-10 until cc1-hyp-17. They are in a cluster.
    2 Equallogic units form a SAN (premium storage), and we have a Dell R515 running iscsi target (budget storage).
    We have Dell Force10 switches and Cisco C3750X switches to connect everything together (mostly 10GB links).
    All hosts run Windows Server 2012R2 Datacenter edition. The VMM server runs System Center Virtual Machine Manage 2012 R2.
    All the latest Windows updates are installed on every host. There are no firewalls between any host (vmm and hypervisors) at this level. Windows firewalls are all disabled. No antivirus software is installed, no symantec software is installed.
    The only non-standard software that is installed is the Dell Host Integration Tools 4.7.1, Dell Openmanage Server Administrator, and some small stuff like 7-zip, bginfo, net-snap, etc.
    The SCVMM service is running under the domain account DOMAINCLOUD1\scvmm. This machine is in the local administrators group of each cluster node.
    On top of this cloud layer we're running the tenant layer with a lot of vm's for a specific customer (although they are all off now).

    I think I found the culprit, after an hour of analyzing wireshark dumps I found the vmm had jumbo frames enabled on the management interface to the hosts (and the underlying infrastructure does not).. Now my winrm commands started working again.
