Mac mini server won't load after creating RAID0

After creating a RAID0 stripe set and tried to re-install Lion server back on my new Mac mini server, it failed at the end of the installation asking me to try to run the installation again, I tried three times with the same result.  So I tried to boot from a USB Lion image but it won't recognize it, I even tried to boot from a USB Snow Leopard image and it won't recognize it either.  What else can I try to bring my Mac mini server back.

Have a look at this thread guys, it should help sort out your problems.

    Anyone got any ideas how I fix this? My current plan is to try and re-install server.app, but I thought I'd post this to see if anyone had any ideas.

    I'm still trying to trace this fault - if anyone has any ideas they'd be much appreciated.

  • Mac Mini server won't boot after logoff, any suggestions?

    My mac Mini Server will not boot after administrator logoff, I get a gray screen with the spinning progress wheel, but nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

    Can you boot into single user mode? If so, run fsck and post the results.

  • Mac mini server won't reboot after Installing security update 2010-003

    This has already been posted and remaines "unanswered".
    After updating to Snow Leopard Server 10.6.3 and attempting to reboot, the mac mini (HDMI) hangs on the gray apple logo with progress spinning. It takes me several times to force the mac mini to power down and try again, before it finally loads the login screen.
    any suggestions?

    Odd.
    So it's hanging while starting services, it looks like, the firewall in particular, have you tried a safe boot?
    If not, hold down the shift key right after you hear the power-on chime, keep holding it till you see a spinning gear.
    This boots up without extra kernel extensions and fonts, clears font caches, and runs a disk verify and a repair if needed. If you still can't boot reliably in safe mode, you may need to run an archive/install.

  • Mac Mini Server won't go to sleep!

    Like a naughty child, my Mac Mini server (i7 2Ghz, OS X 10.7.3) won't go to sleep. I use it as a personal computer, not a server, and I like to put it to sleep at night. But about 20 seconds after going to sleep, it wakes up again.
    I've shut off all the server functions I can think of, and it's still waking up. Is there any way to determine WHAT is waking it up when I put it to sleep?
    Thanks.
    David

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message Req Wake
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: The name of your computer will appear in the output. If that information is private (for example, if the computer name contains your own name), edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • New mac mini server won't start up

    Hi I've had the new Mac mini server for 2 day now and it was workinf fine untill I tried to restart it. When I turn it on I just get the apple logo and the gray processing wheel.
    I've have used disc utility to check the disc. But that did nothing.
    It is picking up the startup disc fine.
    Is there anything I can do or will I need to re-install.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Greetings Richard, I ran into a similar situation recently with my mini server. although I believe it to be a problem of my DNS settings getting hosed. I couldn’t log in no matter what log I used-even as the root user.
    I had a back up on the second drive of the mini. I did buy the USB drive when I bought the mini, so I was able to boot off the install disc. Then from the menu I choose the back up partion as the start up drive. After restarting, I was at least able to recover and copy my important files to the back up partition. I have not been able to work out the login issue yet. I’ll probably just do a reinstall on the corrupted drive.
    In any event, it maybe worth it for you to buy the USB drive and boot off of it.
    The verbose mode is for you to be able to login through the command line and trouble shoot from there.
    Also, in safe mode, any files that you may want to change permissions, you may need to change the owner and then change the permissions. This is done with the chown command and then chmod command. You’ll need to use the sudo command so you can become the root user to use the commands and make any changes.
    Hope this will at least help you get further in troubleshooting this issue.

  • Mini server won't boot after reinstall.

    I had to reinstall Snow Leopard Server on my Mac Mini Server. I did it via a firewire connection to my MBP. Everything runs fine when I boot in target disk mode from my MBP. Problem is when I disconnect the MBP and boot just mini it gives me an error message that says I need to restart the computer. I have the two 500gb drives on the mini configured in a raid array.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Josh

    What the heck does a Mini Server come with for Install media anyway???
    Where's the  BDAqua SOP (standard operating procedure): which Mac Mini Server are we talking about? 2010 or 2011?
    Did the mini ship with Snow Leopard? or is it a current 2011 model that shipped with Lion Server?
    Did it always have that RAID array or was it something that you set up during the current reinstall?
    I only have experience with the current 2011 Mini Server that comes with Lion Server. With that one, the included physical install media is exactly as you find with the current computers that ship with Lion pre-installed: none, none, and none. You boot from a recovery partition (be it on the internal) or on a USB key, and you download a 4+ GB folder that includes Lion + Server stuff. It's a slightly different "server bundle" from Lion client because the setup wizard after the install is specific to server.
    (That's why I have no experience with the Lion Server app store two-step: purchase & install Lion client, then purchase & install (additional) Lion Server sw. My install is single, and I have only a single specific server setup wizard.)
    If you save that folder, you can use it again from another computer to install back on the Mini Server put in FW target disk mode; I've done that from my MBP 13" (early 2011) and the resulting install of Lion Server on the Mini Server has always worked.

  • 2010 mac mini server won't sleep

    Hi ,
    I have seen some people report that there mac mini server running Snow Leopard will not sleep .
    I have had this issue for a while and have now installed an App called ' PleaseSleep ' . All seems good and my Mac now goes to sleep so I thought I would let  you all know
    Best
    AMS

    I was doing some consulting for a client who had Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini 2010.  By nature a server is not supposed to go to sleep.  They wanted the same functionality, which I ended up scripting but looks like PleaseSleep is a better option.
    I've searched and saw a lot of people complain about this.  Most ended up getting Snow leopard instead of Server which solved their problems.  Good find!

  • Mac Mini server won't boot.

    Our server is on, but when we try to access it via its screen it excepts password but returns to login page. Any ideas?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
    When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
    If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click  Log in.
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Mac Mini Server won't display new web content

    I have my server up and running and my webpage (jacrouch.com) is up and running as well with coldfusion and SQL working. I have had some issues with a specific SWF file containing three links that disappears from several pages, but is working on one page. I have attempted to correct this and made changes to ensure that the SWF file is indeed working properly on my development machine.
    I uploaded the corrected files, but the web content does not change. I have completely deleted old content and ensured that the new files contain the corrections, but still the old files are the ones displayed on web.
    Any help is appreciated.

    OK. I just had a brainfart...
    apparently, when you run coldfusion on a server (this is my first time doing this), your server root folder as well as the coldfusion (wwwroot) root folder need to match. I just had to copy and paste my files into coldfusion and it runs great!

  • Event Photography & Mac Mini (Server)

    Can anyone tell me if it is possible to accomplish the following with the Mac Mini Server?
    I photograph sporting events & for the few times where I have to shoot on spec, I need a system whereby I can take the photos & load them onto a computer, do a couple of quick edits (mostly cropping) and then get the photos in front of the client.
    With the dual hard drives on the Mac Mini Server, could I load my originals on one drive and then export the smaller file/cropped photos to the second hard drive where clients can view them from either iPads (tethered to the table!) or from other computers?
    I'd like to place some viewing software on the second drive and sort the folders based on team & time of game (ie team a vs team b @9am) as this will make it easier for parents to find the photos. Parents find the folder & open the pics ... still not sure what software will work best but I'll figure that out later
    OR .... can I accomplish the same thing with a MBP and place the software/photos into a public/share folder and have parents access the photos on their viewing stations?
    I'd rather not go the PC and the wireless 3G option might be the most convenient option as I could load all the photos directly to my website and have the galleries ready for parents ... however upload times are about 5mb/sec and when I have hundreds of photos to upload ... well, the data plan is pretty much shot. As a result, I'm looking for more of a wi-fi or hardwired solution.
    Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me ... I just don't have much experience in this area & could really use some help.
    Thanks for your time.
    Take care,
    Brent

    The speed difference from using the drives in that manner would not be that huge. I would prefer that you mirror the drives, so that you have another source of redundancy for those pictures you just shot, that have not yet been archived. This will help protect these valuable pictures before you get back to your studio.
    I would create a web gallery of the pictures in question and put them in a folder on your the Mini that you setup to be accessible via web sharing.
    Use a wireless router at these events, to setup a wireless network just for your exhibit purposes. Keep the network unlocked to make it easy for your clients to connect. Name the network "Photos Only" so that it's clear to people that the network does not provide internet access.
    Then give the clients the IP address of your Mac, which they will enter into their mobile browser. (IP address found in network control panel)

  • FileMaker Server problem on Mac Mini Server - Mac Mini won't boot

    I just installed a brand new Mac Mini Server today, and also FileMaker Server 11. A first-timer for both Mac OS X Server and FileMaker Server, I made an error as explained below, and right now I don't know how to get back on track with the system. It won't boot.
    So, how did this happen?
    At first everything was proceeding according to plan. I configured the pre-installed Mac OS X Server on the Mac Mini with users, groups and services. This was tested from clients and this seemed to work just fine. Then I installed and configured FileMaker Server. This was also tested from a client, and the example database that came with FMS was served up just fine.
    The problem arose when I tried to install my existing FileMaker databases. I simply checked to see where in the file system the example database was located, and then copied my old databases to that location (I think it was Library > FileMaker Server > Data > Databases or something close to it - can't check it now...). I had the FileMaker Server Admin Console running, and hit the Refresh button hoping that this would make FileMaker Server find the databases.
    This was my first error. I should have read ahead in the instructions to see that one is supposed to use an Upload Database assistant instead...
    What happened when I hit refresh was that the FileMaker Server Admin Console became completely unresponsive with a spinning ball as cursor. I left it for about an hour hoping it would terminate, but gave up and tried to shut it down. It wouldn't close, so I force quit it from the Finder. Then I tried to shut down FileMaker Server, but I needed to force quit this as well. After this I thought it would be best to reboot the Mac Mini, so I shut it down, but now it won't even boot, it just stays on the screen with the spinning wheel for ever!
    I have tried all the keyboard options while booting, but nothing seems to help. In safe mode, the grey progress bar just grows to about one third, then disappears and leaves the eternally spinning wheel.
    The server version of the Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive, only two internal hard drives. I tried to reinstall from scratch using the optical drive on another Mac on the network. The startup disk appeared when I tried to boot the Mac Mini holding down the option key, and after about 20 minutes or so of the spinning wheel I could actually access the discs. I started by running Disk Utility to check disk permissions. There were a lot of repairs concerning permissions and groups, especially on "Library". It said "ACL differs on Library", I don't know what this is but this was repaired. I then ran Repair Disk. The volume appeared to be OK.
    When I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Server however, this failed with the message
    "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed. Mac OS X Server couldn't be installed on this disk." I don't know how this can be, but I may have run software update earlier today.
    What should I try next? Should I erase the primary HD and try to install again? Or should I install the system software on the secondary HD? Or should I just try to reboot as is in the hope that the disk permission repairs did the trick...?
    Any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there, I came across your post when browsing the forum for passive advice. I am in the same boat as you and am a first timer for both of these tools. I work for a company who now needs to expand its network and database capabilities. I have been assigned this task and these are the tools i have opted for. I have not yet purchased them and i am pleased to find someone who has my desired setup. Could you please advise on the simplicity of the setup and whether an advanced knowledge is required.
    I want to use it in a mixed operating system environment. Is this possible?
    Regards

  • Mac Mini Server (Late 2009) - Won't boot from Windows USB/DVD

    Hello all,
    I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini Server (Macmini 3,1) with OS X Lion.
    I have created a Bootcamp Windows Partition on one the 500GB Disk using Bootcamp 4.0.
    After the partition is created, I have tried installing Windows 7 using the Bootable USB method as well as using the CD Drive from the attached SuperDrive.
    But all I encounter is either the blinking cursor or after the "Starting Windows" logo, a BSOD.
    Any tips/help on how to proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Cattus,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did use BC to create the USB stick. I also tried to create the USB on a WIndows Machine (just in case). But still can't boot from USB. What's the WIndows Utility you mentioned?
    Also, according to the this LINK, The firmware for Macmini 3,1 should be MM31.0081.B06 (EFI 1.2).
    However, the BOOT ROM info on my mac mini says MM31.00AD.B00 and I can't seem to update the EFI Firmware. I get a message "This computer does not need this update" when I try to run the MacminiEFIupdate.pkg
