Mount volume with alternative name?

I did this before by accident,
Currently on boot I run a simple applescript exactly like this
mount volume "smb://uranus/GEN/"
This mounts the volume as Gen
The keychain holds the passwords so I have no need to write username and psw into the applescript
I did it by accident before but I managed to give the drive a different name to GEN something like
mount volume "smb://uranus/GEN/" with label "WINDOWS VOLUME G"
Any suggestions how I might be able to do this?
Many Thanks
Matt

Still struggling,
found this using the Terminal
mkdir /Volumes/G
mount -t smbfs //username:password@uranus/GEN /Volumes/G
This does some of it. At top level under my imac it appears as GEN but go into macintosh HD volumes it appears as G. but drag it to the side bar and it becomes GEN again.???

Manually mount volume with xattr option

I need to mount a vxfs4.1 volume with the xattr option, but I get an illegal suboption error when I try. Is there a specific mount binary required for this to work? I am running Sol 10 kernel 142909-17:
# mount -F vxfs -o xattr /dev/vx/dsk/ERMBE2B77E5wprdshared_dg/oravol /mnt
UX:vxfs mount: ERROR: V-3-21298: illegal -o suboption -- xattr
UX:vxfs mount: INFO: V-3-20147: Usage:

That is actually the output from mount. The volume is mounted by solaris cluster 3.2, and it is a global mount, here is the vfstab entry:
# grep applmgr /etc/vfstab
/dev/vx/dsk/wprdshared_dg/oravol /dev/vx/rdsk/wprdshared_dg/oravol /wprd/ora/applmgr vxfs - no global,suid

Mount volume with windows server password (not remembering the password)

Hello,
I have a setup through "System Preferences" "Users & Groups" "Login Items", wherein there is a volume which is mounted upon login. Set volume is within a Windows Server domain, for which I have credentials to login.
My question is related, to the fact that OSX (under Snow Leopard nor Lion), seems to remeber the password for said login, even though the checkbox for "remeber this password, etc." is set. So everyday I need to type in my password for it to mount the volume.

Satellite C875-S7303
If you have a Microsoft account, you can reset the Windows password easily. So do you have that or a local account?

OES2sp2 miggui Failed to mount volume

Trying to migrate NW65SP8 (DS8.8.4) to OES2sp2.
miggui is running on the OES2sp2 server which is patched up to date using rug.
Source and target servers are in the came container in the DS.
I can define the source and target servers and get to the point where I want to configure the migration of volumes, but then I get a failure. The log (minus the timestamps for clarity) reads:

SLP shows both servers, they are on the same network as each other, and the firewall is turned off.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing the mount failure or what error 1008 might be?

ncpmount uses udp as the default. Add the option -o tcp to the ncpmount
command then mount should work.

if there is an existing connection to the same tree, nwmap does not ask
for user name. Use the command "nwconnections" to check the existing
connections. Use nwlogout to logout the connection. check
/var/opt/novell/nclmnt/root/ for any stale entries.

You do not need all files for Novel Client. If you want
You can logout all connections using the command "nwlogout -a" and try
the nwmap command again.
"/opt/novell/ncl/bin/nwmap -s 138.37.100.118 -d
/var/opt/novell/migration/cc18/fs/mnt/source/SYS -v SYS"
Looks like the novell client is failed to resolve the IP address. You
can do the following to configure different name resolution methods in
the following way:
Create a file: /etc/opt/novell/ncl/protocol.conf with data.
Name_Resolution_Providers=NCP,SLP,DNS
then restart rcnovfsd deamon using the command "rcnovfsd restart"
do you see any NCP errors in the network packet trace?

Use Applescript to mount to a different name

My setup:
Mountain Lion Server, bound to AD with sharepoint name "server/la
Mountain Lion Client bound to AD
I need to create an Applescript that will Map to "server/la" but call it la-1 when it actually maps.
This works to map with the same name that the original shared name has
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://server/la"
end tell
But I can't figure out how (if possible) to give it a different name once it maps.
Any thoughts?

The normal mount process uses an automount feature which automatically created a mount point in /Volumes with a name based on the share, and if there happens to be two volumes with the same name e.g. external drives or two shares, it also automatically deals with that.
I don't believe using the Finder via AppleScript this way you can override this as I believe it will via this route stick to using the automount mechanism. However if you use a shell script you can do this manually. You can then call this shell command via AppleScript. The shell script command would be as follows.
sudo mount -t afp afp://user:pass@server/la /Volumes/la-1
You would have to create /Volumes/la-1 beforehand.
The following Apple technote shows how to run shell script commands from inside an AppleScript, including with administrator (sudo) priviledges.

Mounted Volume not shwoing up with Windows 2012 R2 failover cluster

Hi
We configured some drives as mounted volumes and configured it with Failover cluster. But it's not showing up the mounted volume details with Cluster Manager, it's showing the details as seen below
Expect support from someone to correct this issue
Thanks in advance

Hi LMS,
Are you doubt about the disk shown as GUID? Cluster Mount point Disk is showing as a Volume GUID in server 2012 R2 Failover Cluster I creating a mountpoint inside the cluster
and had the same behavior, instead of mount point name we had the volume GUI after volume label, that must by design.

Network volumes with the same name

Hi everybody.
I recently got a Mac at the office. Yay! But I have an issue with network volumes. There are several machines I need to connect to using smb/cifs. Two of our development servers (Linux servers using smb/cifs) are configured to share each user's home directory. Naturally, my user name on both machines is the same, and therefore so is the name of the smb share. Unfortunately, MacOS X uses the share name as the volume name when it connects. This means I have two volumes with the same name, so I can't make any aliases or have any quick access to them. That's because aliases resolve to the first of them which was mounted, regardless of which of them they were made to originally.
Other people in the office use Windows to access the shares, which poses no problem because in Windows you either give the full path of the share (including host name, which makes the paths distinct), or map a distinct drive to the share. I also mount them from my Linux, but on Linux you explicitly give the mount point, and thus make it distinct.
Any way to make the volumes distinct on the Mac? Otherwise to make aliases resolve correctly in such a setup?

there are several ways you can deal with this. first, you can use command line mount_smbfs command. it does let you specify a mount point. you can easily automate the process of creating a mount point and mounting the share using automator so you don't have to do it by hand every time. and you can also add the automator workflow to mount the shares to your login items. then it will happen automatically on every login. lastly, you can use autofs or add entries to /etc/fstab to automount the smb shares on startup. both methods let you specify mount points too. see this link for details

Disk GUID shown at the Failover Cluster Manager instead of the NTFS Mount Volume Name

Dear Team
I have built windows 2012 R2 fail over cluster. The sql server 2012 has been installed in cluster mode. When we add share disk for database it showing like General DBs\\?\Volume{665480bd-12d9-11dd-92ea-001cc442e304}\
Can you Please explain why it is showing in GUID like this. While in 2008 it is showing as
O:\Miscellaneous\General DBs .
Also is it normal to have storage configuration in GUID in win2k12 R2 faliover
cluster.
We need to have this NTFS mount volume name in our win2012 server. Pl reply
Thanks

No problem it happens if you have drive letter conflict too at times.
So you can even change drive letter now also, but that must be available by that time.
However you should follow below method:
1. Disks initialization, formatting, drive letter assignation and grouping for SQL Cluster should be planned and worked out first before sql server installation and testing failover nicely.
2. Once you are sure that drive letters are proper and failing is happening fine then you can start installing SQL server.
3. In future too if you assign existing drive letters of sql server to some other disk then same issues will happen.
So please be careful on this for example if system database disk drivers get changed then what will happen, even sql server will not for you as drive letters will be missing as system will get adjust with the drive letter without caring about that
disk drive letter was carrying system db or just user db.

No longer mount NFS volumes with 2010.q1 release:

Has anyone else seen this? I can no longer mount any of my NFS volumes with root squash since upgrading to 2010.q1. I have a ticket open with Sun (72644622), but everyone is apparently off/away.
Before they all went off, Sun Eng. suggested setting max supported NFS version to 3, but this of course did not work. Hosts trying to mount the volumes error out with:
call_verify: server HOST_IP_HERE requires stronger authentication.
I have double checked that the atuh is set to sys (not krb), but it looks like the nfsd is not respecting this.
Of course this has knocked all our VMware mounts offline as well, and using krb for these is out of the question....
Had to update to support the new FC card...which works great...but me needs me nfs shares....
Fishworks doods, stop yelling at drives and help a brother out ;)

I wish I could tell you, but it seems we lost a CIM card. Worse yet, this failure was completely SILENT. Not a single "problem" listed in the logs. However, when attaching another J4400, I noticed an alarm LED on the failed CIM and verified that the storage was only seen by 1 path. Kind of disconcerting that availability could be reduced significantly without so much as an email.
I'll let you know if we can get to the new release later this week.

Windows Server 2012R2 Failover Cluster error with mounted volumes

Hi all,
I've a problem with mounted volume on a WSFC build on top of Windows Server 2012R2, the situation is:
M: is the volume hosting mounting points
disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 are volume mounted on M:\SomeFolder
Theese volumes are used by a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance, but my problem is related to WSFC. I've set dependencies so disk-1, disk-2, disk-3 depend upon H:
If I try a failover of the role "SQL Server" I observe that when the disk come online in the other node they fail with this error:
Cluster resource 'disk-1' of type 'Physical Disk' in clustered role 'SQL Server (ISQL2014A)' failed. The error code was '0xaa' ('The requested resource is in use.').
Based on the failure policies for the resource and role, the cluster service may try to bring the resource online on this node or move the group to another node of the cluster and then restart it. Check the resource and group state using Failover Cluster
Manager or the Get-ClusterResource Windows PowerShell cmdlet.
If I manually take offline H: and than bring it online and then manually take online all disk (1 to 3) they come online with no error.
I'm going crazy!

I've found the root of the problem: the servers are virtual machine on a VMware ESX 5.5 infrastructure, VMware claims that on 5.5 multipath is supported for raw device mapping disks but disabling multipath (I've set to fixed path) the Windows Server Failover
Cluster stops to get problems.
Now we have opened a support call with VMware.

Certificate signing request with subject alternative names?

Has anyone been successful at generating a certificate signing request for a certificate that uses subject alternative names via the Server Manager GUI? It seems to skip the entire X509 section of the CSR for me.
Command line via openssl works but I'd like to stick with the GUI for the encryption on the certificates.

I just checked the documentation and found that your code is incorrect. IAlternativeName::StrValue contains value for an email address, a Domain Name System (DNS) name, a URL, a registered object identifier (OID), or a user principal name (UPN). It doesn't
contain string value for directory name (and other non-mentioned types). Instead, you need to instantiate an IX500DistinguishedName interface and initialize it from an alternative name value:
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
String RequestString = "Base64-encoded request");
CX509CertificateRequestPkcs10 request = new CX509CertificateRequestPkcs10();
request.InitializeDecode(RequestString, EncodingType.XCN_CRYPT_STRING_BASE64_ANY);
Console.WriteLine("Subject: {0}", request.Subject.Name);
foreach (IX509Extension ext in request.X509Extensions) {
if (ext.ObjectId.Name == CERTENROLL_OBJECTID.XCN_OID_SUBJECT_ALT_NAME2) {
CX509ExtensionAlternativeNames extensionAlternativeNames = new CX509ExtensionAlternativeNames();
string rawData = ext.RawData[EncodingType.XCN_CRYPT_STRING_BASE64];
extensionAlternativeNames.InitializeDecode(EncodingType.XCN_CRYPT_STRING_BASE64, rawData);
foreach (CAlternativeName alternativeName in extensionAlternativeNames.AlternativeNames) {
switch (alternativeName.Type) {
case AlternativeNameType.XCN_CERT_ALT_NAME_DIRECTORY_NAME:
IX500DistinguishedName DN = new CX500DistinguishedName();
DN.Decode(alternativeName.RawData[EncodingType.XCN_CRYPT_STRING_BASE64]);
Console.WriteLine("SAN: {0}", DN.Name);
break;
default:
Console.WriteLine("SAN: {0}", alternativeName.strValue);
break;

CSS 11501 - wildcard certificate with subject alternative names

Hi,
I generated a wildcard certificate for my company type *. mycompany.com in a CSS 11501.
For the site sub-domain1.mycompany.com worked fine, for the site sub-domain2.sub-domain1.mycompany.com didn't worked.
I read on the web that should generate a wildcard certificate with subject alternative names. Is it possible in CSS? how can I do it?
Thank you very much,
Cláudio Soares

Hi,
The CSS is indifferent to the Common Name in an SSL certificate used for SSL termination,
so using a wildcard certificate would be no different than using a standard certificate.
If using the CSS to generate the Certificate Signing Request, just enter the Common
Name with the leading asterisk for the subdomain portion of the hostname. Example:
Common Name (your domain name) [www.mycompany.com]*.domain.com
The only difference in configuring SSL termination would be that you could
reuse the SSL certificate (in the ssl-proxy-list) for all the different vips that the
subdomains resolve to without having to worry about pop-up warnings on client's browsers
(example attached). Or, if your subdomains resolve to the same vip, the CSS configuration
wouldn't be any different.
Regards,
Siva

Nodemanager configuration with SSL and Subject Alternative Names.

We want to configure serveral nodemanagers in serveral machines using SSL. Is possible to use only one certificate with one CN and several subject alternative names (one per machine)?
We cannot configure the nodemanager, we always get an SSLHandShake exception.
Thanks.

Hi,
Hope you found out resolution to your issue.
incase you havent , presuming the CN used in your certificate is not the host name and all the host servers can resolved/ identify that CN. Dont see major problem in the way you explained.
However handshake exception only points at certain specific case
- where the certs are not imported into keystores ( client or server side) or
- certs mismatching at clent & server
- too many certs with the same CN in the same keystore or CN resolving to more than 1 cert ( if its possible).
Let me know if you need help in reolving this and also paste the error trace of 'handshake' exception you see.
