Jumpstart and zfs on new machine

Hello
I have been told to install solaris via jumpstart and use zfs.
I guess the solaris installer will ask me and then i can choose zfs, so this shouldnt be an issue. However
Do i still need to set up mirroring using metadb, metaattch etc? as I tought i saw somewhere that there are different commands for mirroring zfs?
Also, if this is a new install of solaris, can i use jumpstart at all yet? Since i would need to be able to get to the OK> prompt to be able to run jumpstart? (and there is no os installed yet, after i exit ilom it goes into a solaris installer).
Can anybody quickly tell me what i need to do to get jumpostart working quickly on this new box? we have a jumpstart server which i have inherited but not sure how i set the clients up. Is it just a case of adding config to the ethers file and thats it?
Thanks
Thanks

ZFS integrates its own volume management and you can easily construct stripe, mirrored, raidz (raid5), raidz2 (=raid 6) zpool.
For exemple to add a disk mirror to your rpool pool, you just have to do a "zpool add rpool c0t0d0s0 c0t1d0s0"
A "man zpool" should give you more information.

ThanksFrom your client, you have to boot from the network "boot - net" but before you will have to create a new profile in your jumpstart server, but I could not say you in details how to do this. Surely you might be able to find lot of information in docs.sun.com about this or perhaps somebody else could give more information.

If I back up my iOS devices on my iMac in the US, then do a time machine backup to an external HD, will I be able to plug the external HD into a brand new iMac in the UK and restore the new machine as per the old one, and restore my iOS devices?

Since you don't really have a question, I will give you a very broad information source for the next time you have a Time Machine question.

Oh, you cannot use a computer whose only disk drive is the target of a an OS X cloning operation regardless of what software is used for the clone. You can, however, use the source drive except if you try to clone using Disk Utility.

Moving playlists and podcast to new machine

How can I move all of my iTunes playlists and podcasts to my new machine? is there any way of keeping all of the settings the same? thank you.

Found that Apple's _Mac OS X Advanced System Administration v10.5_ book says that cloning works to migrate between machines. Boot from install DVD after cloning and run disc's upgrade. PPC to Intel requires special consideration - recommended to archive old, demote to stand alone, promote, and finally restore from archive.
If anyone has any experience with this, please report how it worked for you.

Win Vista and Treo 680 new machine

Hello,
Just got windows vista 64 bit and need to move my treo 680 and palm stuff to new machine would appreciate good advice on how to do this. TIA

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. Palm desktop is not compatable with Vista 64bit. Reason being there are no usb drivers allowing the palm device to communicate with windows. There is a possible work around using bluetooth to sync. Check the Windows Hotsync forum and you'll see the thread with step-by-step directions. Sorry for the inconvience.

Adobe CC Apps backup and install to new machine

Hi all,
So I have downloaded installed most of the Adobe CC apps on my work machne. I now want to install some of those programs on my home machine.
Is there any way I could 'back up' the programs I have on the work machine and simply copy them to the home machine or is re-downloading everything unavoidable?
I have gone to the CC website and tried individual downloads but that doesnt work since it requires the CC manager to handle the download....so when you click on 'download', the manager detects that I already have the app so it basically does nothing. It doesnt even ask if I want to save the file in a different location.
Please help,
Thanks

Hi NovakMiler,
Please try the direct download: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html .
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.
Once downloaded copy the apps on a external disk and install it to your work machine. Please remember that you require ongoing internet connection in order to activate the software.

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

I have just bought a new mac book pro and want to use this machine as the main computer to which I will sync my iPhone and iPad.
How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
Thank you

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

I bought a new laptop (Dell ProBook; Windows 7.1) after a catastrophic crash of my old one. I installed my licensed copy of Photoshop CS3 on my new machine, and find that my activation key will not work. Is this remediable, or am I simply stuck buying a

As indicated in the header question, I've been unable to get PS CS3 to run (other than in "trial period" mode) on my new laptop. I purchased CS3 a few years ago and had it up and running on my former (now deceased) machine; I still had the activation key. I installed the program on my new machine (running Windows 7.1), seemingly uneventfully. But when I now enter the activation key, I get an error message informing me that the number is not valid.
Does the activation key become invalid after a certain time period, or is there something I can fix? I'm interested in upgrading, but would like to have the familiar version available until I get around to doing so (just retired; lots of time-consuming changes afoot).
Thanks for any help/info.

I can't seem to get my Windows 7 Box to "see" the NAS where my music and movies are stored. This ran fine on W XP. After I installed iTunes on my new machine, I can't get it to "see/recognize" the NAS drive. 5 other computers can. Any Ideas ?

I have a mix of Apple and Windows Boxes. The primary NAS is a 2TB Buffalo Unit. The back-up NAS is a QNAP with 6TBs (set up as Raid 5). Until I removed my old 32 Bit Dell machine today, all the rooms in the house got excellent delivery of audio or video, via Apple TVs, which then run into DACs and amps, and the rest of the gear. The 32 Bit Box was failing on some boots, so I got a new machine. I installed 64 Bit iTunes on it, but cannot get it to recognize the NAS Box. It's like the setting took, as I can see it, however, it "appears" that iTunes is looking elsewhere for the media. I would really prefer not to reload all 850 CDs, and redownload the 56 movies from iTunes.
Is there something that changed in 64 Bit iTunes ? years ago, iTunes would sometimes boot and really want to find the music under Documents and Settings..... but that seemed to sort itself out.

My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

When I open Iphoto, my thumbnails are there, but they aren't linked back to the actual photos. I see the original photo files in my HD. Is there a way to link the Iphoto thumbnails back to the original files?

Use the Firewire cable and t boot the old Mac's hard drive to the new Mac's desktop and transfer your entire iPhoto folder.
Use Disk Utiliy to erase'format HFS+ Journaled your TimeMachine drive and use the free Carbon Copy Cloner and clone your new boot drive to the external, it's hold option bootable.
