Moving volumes between servers

First, I'm new at this, so allow for my ignorance.
Second, we are ARCHIVING data on StorEdge L3500s and sometime in the next 10 months intend to upgrade to L7000s.
The issue: we have two L3500s on different LANs. ServerA has volumes labeled from AWR101 through AWR198 and is on 196.201.xxx.xxx. ServerA archives data from clientA. ServerB has volumes labeled from AWR201 through AWR298 and is on 198.144.xxx.xxx. ServerB ARCHIVES data from clientX. ClientA is not recognized on ServerB's LAN and clientX is not recognized on ServerA's LAN. How can I get ServerB to recognize and retrieve data from a volume from ServerB?
For example, volume AWR101 contains archived file /var/log/syslog from clientA. I load AWR101 to slot 01 on ServerB (after removing the ServerB's volume) and am able to inventory it so the MOUNT display at slot 01 indicates AWR101* (the * appears to be the key problem here). However I cannot mount nor retrieve the file to ServerB, either by application or via command level.
After retrieving the data to ServerB, the intent is to eventually load AWR101 back to ServerA. And have ServerA (and ServerB) able to "recognize" the volume that was originally in its slot 01.
I appreciate any assistance.

It would be easier if I knew what archival software you were using to backup to tape. The naming convention looks like something I'd use for Veritas Netbackup. In either case, you could simply move the volume(s) involved with particular backup image, and import the volume into Server B's database.
This is quite a bit more complex with HSM software like SAMFS(Netbackup and EBU have the same function).
After that point, the library slot can be whatever you want it to be, as long as you have the archival/backup software gather the tape inventory from the library, and update the software database with it's contents. The volume will still be in the database as long as the retention policy has not expired.

  • Switching RAID volumes between servers

    If I have two Xserve G5s with mirrored RAID arrays, how easy is it to "switch" the hard drives from one server to another, and the entire operating system along with them while retaining the RAID array?
    Is it as easy as removing the hard drives and putting them in the new Xserve or do I have to rebuild the array? If so, how?
    My servers have the hardware RAID card, what are the advantages over software RAID?

    I have been reading through the many posts to see if someone had the same question I did.... and this one comes close. The only response however is based on the hardware RAID. I would like to know if you can move an Apple Software (disk utilities) mirrored set of drives (Boot Volume) from one G4 Xserve to another of similar model.
    I have just received a spare Xserve G4 dual processor (1 GHz). My other xServes are all single 1 GHz processors. I wanted to take advantage of the extra processor for one of the machines. Then, if one of the Xserves fails I want to just pull the two drives (mirrored) out of the failed computer and put them in the spare machine.
    Does Apple software RAID store everything on the drives themselves or does it write something to PRAM of the Xserve or similar for the drive ID's?

  • Modification dates change when moving/copying between hard-drive and flash

    I use a flash drive to store most of my work-related documents on. That way, I have them when I'm at school (on a Windows XP computer) and at home on my Mac OS 10.3.9. I
    try to occasionally back-up my flash drive by dragging it's contents to my Mac. Copying in this direction USUALLY retains the appropriate modification date.
    However, if I move things from the Mac to the USB drive (I occasionally make changes to a file on the Mac when my flashdrive isn't handy), the modification date changes to the copy/move date. Is there a way around this? It alters the information about the file and sometimes makes a version look newer than another version of a document. When in reality, it’s older--it’s just been moved/copied and the date changed.
    I often move things back and forth for backup purposes, but if it keeps changing the dates on it’s own, it’s impossible to tell which is REALLY the
    most current copy/version.
    Is there a fix so that copying and moving files between volumes does NOT change the modification date of the file?

    Hi, teacher. When my Lexar JumpDrive Secure is formatted as a MS-DOS volume so a PC can read it, the last-mod dates of files that I copy to it are changed to the date and time of copying. When it's formatted as a Mac OS Extended volume, the original last-mod dates are copied to it unchanged. Looks like you can thank Bill Gates for the inconvenience: apparently it's a DOS file system "feature". Don't you wish you could use Windoze all the time?
    On second thought, the files really are changed when you write them to a DOS volume, because the DOS file system has no place to store the metadata about your files that a Mac pays attention to and a Windoze box doesn't. So when you write Mac files to a DOS volume, that metadata — which is part of each Mac file — is simply discarded, causing the last-mod date to change.

  • Communication between servers on different FIs

    Just want to verify communication between UCS servers on same chassis but having active vNICs on different FIs (Diagram attached). I suppose all commuication between server-A & server-B will happen through Layer 2 switch as server-A will generate an ARP request for Server-B, that will be passed over to FI-A and then to L2 switch down to FI-B, where server-B will respond back with it's MAC that will then be passed to Server-A via FI-B to L2 switch to FI-A.I don't expect any traffic between servers A & B be routed via firewall? Is there anything I need to be careful about in this design? Going forward we will have multiple subinterfaces on the firewall for different VLANs and all servers will use Firewall as default gateway.

    you may want to look at the throughput of your firewall for server-server traffic in different VLANs. If your L2 switch is 10G but your firewall is only 1G then you could have a potential bottle neck.

  • Lost volumes between raidutil and diskutil

    Suddently the Xserve (Xeon early 2008, 10.5.8) show the "?" at the boot.
    I've set up an other OS X Server on an external drive.
    None of the four volumes from the internal drives mount anymore.
    I assume the server has restarted after a long power failure that outrun the UPS.
    At first I thought the raid controller has failed BUT RAIDUtil shows every disks and volumes with the green OK dot.
    DiskUtil or disk utilities don't show any of the raid5 volumes.

  • Copy file between servers, passing on firewall

    I'm try copy a file between servers with Windows NT. I mapping the target server to drive X and test copying a file in windows explorer and command window and the files copy is OK. But if I try with a java class don't.
    I'm try with FileInputStream (read) and FileOutputStream (write) but don't. I have use the Runtime.exec() for execute a DOS command but don't("cmd.exe /c copy c:\myfile.txt x:\"). this second showme a message "username incorrect or bad password", but the same sentence I run in a command window and the copy is OK!
    What can I do?

    Hi,
    try to use HTTP for the transfer between
    the two servers. Normally You can pass the
    firewall using HTTP (like browsers do).
    Therefor use classes in the java.net packages.

  • LR5 stopped moving files between folders

    Hi everybody,
    I've noticed today that my LR5 stopped moving files between folders, I select files I want to move and drag them over to a new location like I always did before with only difference is now nothing happends, no messages with errors, nothing... I tried to google it and couldn't find anything related to my problem.
    I'm using Windows 8 x64. I checked the permissions on all the photo folders and everything seems to be correct. I also run LR under admin rights, so there shouldn't be any OS related issues... in addition, it was working just fine till today.
    I hope you can at least point me in right direction to dig more info on the problem with my LR5.
    Thx!

  • Distributed File System Replication between servers with different performance

    If Distributed File System Replication is set between servers with different performance. What will happen with the performance of the fastest server? Will the performance decrease to match the performance of the
    slowest server in the chain? I mean, will the source slow down (processor speed) if the recipients can't keep up? 

    Hi,
    If you mix different performance server for DFS replication, most of improvements on the fastest server are disabled for backwards compatibility and the performance decrease to match the performance of the slowest server.

  • It stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Recently, Thunderbird stopped sending mail and moving messages between folders, junk messages stopped being moved.

    Further notes (different user, same problem):
    * This is a problem that started in Thunderbird 32
    * This involves both automatic (filter) moves and manual moves
    * This includes use of keys and hotkeys (the delete key, for example)
    * Restarting Thunderbird does seem to "reset" the problem... for a while. I notice the problem most when either I've been away from the computer/program for a while or when waking a laptop computer from a sleep or hibernation state.

  • Moving apps between screens

    I'm having trouble moving apps between screens. I can move one app but then if I try and move another, I drag it off the side of the screen but the screen doesn't change. The only workaround I have is to move an app to the dock, change the screen with a swipe, then move the app out of the dock back onto the new screen. Is anyone else having this problem?

    I thought this was broken on my iPad after upgrading to iOS 4.2. After messing around, I found that if I move an icon around on the screen and hold it at the edge of the screen for a few extra seconds, with the edge of the icon slightly off the screen. Then the screen will change.

  • Moving files between folders is very slow

    Hi, I have an iMac 2011. Processor: 2.7GHz Intel Core i5/ Memory 4GB
    OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1
    After I change my OS from Mavericks to Yosemite, moving files between folders is very slow.
    For example, if I move one jpg file in Desktop to Pictures folder (or just any other folders like Trash), it takes about 3 seconds.
    When I was still using Mavericks, it made that Ding sound and transferred files right away. However, now, although it makes the Ding sound right away, the file is still there for 3 seconds.
    I tried to clean up my mac using many apps, but they never fixed this problem.
    I've also tried what I saw on this one thread. OS X File Transfers Very Slow
    Go->Connect to Server then type "cifs://server-address" but it says there is a problem and did nothing. (maybe different issue)
    Please help!

    There may be other issues, but you installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • Intel Macs & G5s: Problems when moving projects between them

    An earlier post* suggesting complete compatibility between the latest FCP in a G5 and in an Intel Mac may be in error.
    We are experiencing continuing crashes using our Intel Mac when we work on projects that were originally either imported or partially rendered in the G5.
    It has gotten to the point where we feel we must keep projects completely isolated from each other: Either it is a "G5 project" or it is an "Intel Mac" project. Moving projects back and forth between the two leads to problems such as:
    The Intel Mac does not recognize any renders done in the G5...
    The Intel Mac crashes when rendering 'G5' projects...
    The Intel mac crashes when compressor goes to work to export sequences to mpeg...
    The G5 works fine with Intel Mac-originated material: It is only in the Intel Mac where we have these problems.
    Both systems are up-to-the minute on their OS, security updates, and FCP versions. We are using variously 720p/30 from the JVC GY-100UA and 1080i/30 from the Sony Z1U.
    Our questions are:
    Is anyone else experiencing similar problems moving projects between a G5 and an Intel Mac?
    Is anyone moving projects between the two platforms and experiencing NO problems at all? That information would be just as valuable, and very welcome.
    Apple FCP development team: Is our experience unique or have you had other reports like this? Any idea what could be causing our problems -- and what we can do to fix them?

    Scott,
    Welcome to the discussions!
    I have had no problems moving my G5 projects over to my MP.
    You can not move render files between machines.
    When you changed systems, did you use Migration Assistant to transfer your files over to your new Mac Pro? You might need to install from the disks in order to achieve native Intel performance. See if you installed Final Cut 5.1 on your G5 then it installed the PPC code... if you put that drive into your Mac Pro or used Migration Assistant to move the app over it is still the PPC code... When you install from the installation disk, Installer determines what system you are installing on (PPC or Intel) and that's what it installs. This goes for all of your "Universal Binary" apps...
    In the System Profiler app. under Software/Applications
    Final Cut Pro "kind" should be Universal on your MP.
    The FCP development team do not read these posts, only users do.

  • IOS 7, Moving messages between Exchange accounts

    Hi,
    Can't find any help on this issue:
    I have two Exchange accounts set up on my iPhone (and iPad), and both work well interms of sending and receiving e-mails. As I frequently get messages addressed to one address that "belong" to the other, I want to move these after processing them to the right folder under the other account.
    ios 7 seemingly caters to this by allowing me to "move up" from the current account and see the other accounts. BUT, the other Exchange account is grayed out, so moving messages between the accounts is impossible.
    This is perfectly possible on the Mac in OS X, so I am not sure why this should be infeasible on the phone?
    Any ways to get around this?

    Hold on, maybe you can. Try this and see if it works...
    Select the account and message you want to move.
    Tap the folder icon under the message
    You should see at the top left of the screen <Inbox. Tap that.
    You should now see <Accounts. Tap again.
    Select the accoun, then the folder you want to move the email to.
    Looks like it does work for me. Learn something new every day! :-)

  • Message between servers

    Hi,
    I am new to this JMS, after reading online and a sample application I got an idea how to configure JMS with resin and Jboss.
    My question now is, how to send and receive messages between servers ? I have created some sample applications and just sent and received messages within the same server.
    How can we achieve sending messages across servers ?
    Thanks in advance.
    ~ SK

    Hi Elad,
    We did XI-XI communictions a bit different, we approached it as a B2B scenario. We defined a Party for the sending XI system and we created an abstract interface with the Idoc messagetype (because you need on both sides the same interface name/namespace and we use naming conventions).
    In the receiver agreement of the sending XI system you have to replace the party and service name with the ones you have did setup on the receiving XI.
    I hope this helps you in the right directions
    Cheers,
    Frank
