Need to run fsck on UCS Central VM -- how?
We had a storage disruption event recently that appears to have flipped the root volume on our UCS Central VM to read-only. After rebooting the VM, I get an error message about needing to run a manual fsck due to filesystem errors on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 (see attached screenshot), and I get dropped into a shell prompting for the root password. I can't seem to find any root credentials in the UCS documentation. Is there a procedure for repairing the filesystem and repairing the VM?
Brad,
You'll need to open a TAC case. We don't provide root/shell access to the VM externally.

Robert

I HAVE OS X 10.7.4 (Lion), BUT I NEED TO RUN SOFTWARE THAT REQUIRES POWERPC. HOW CAN I DO THIS WITH LION?
If you are running Lion then you cannot run PPC software. Your computer would have to be capable of being booted by Snow Leopard in order to run PPC software. Or consider upgrading your PPC software or buying replacement software that works with Lion.
What specific Mac model do you have? -
Do I need to run fsck manually on Clustered disks?
I am just wondering if fsck is run automatically on Clustered monitored disks, once the resource is brought on line after a crash?
Or if not what steps should be taken to make this happen automatically?what do you mean by clustered disks? What file system is it running ufs? A fsck checks the file system not the hard disks so it is always good to check it no matter where it resides, however some NAS will have thier own file system checking commands so its important to establish where the disks are and what fs is on them.

Help - I need to run IE on my iMac. How can i do it?
I have a site that i need to access for work that only runs in Internet Explorer and i have just upgrdaed my office computer to a nice new iMac. I have tried accessing it using chrome, mozilla etc too but nothing - They say I can only use IE which i thought i had seen the last of when i switched over.
I did try to download the old mac verson of IE but that wont run on my imac.
Can anyone tell me if there is a simple solution? Its driving me mad as i really need to access this site and dont want to have to go and boot up the old p.c everythime i need to access this site as i wanted to get rid of it from my office.
Thanks
SharonBoot Camp is not the only option for running Internet Explorer on a Mac. It enables you to install Windows on a partition of your internal drive, alongside OS X, and boot from it as you would boot a PC. The disadvantage is that you have to restart the computer every time you switch between operating systems.
The other option is to run Windows in a virtual machine, using an application such as VMware, VirtualBox, or Parallels. That way you wouldn't have to reboot every time you need to access Windows.
Neither of these options is ideal, and both are really only suitable for advanced users. The best option, if you have to use Windows regularly, is to run it on a cheap PC networked to your Mac. A basic netbook costs not much more than a retail Windows disc, and takes up very little space. -
Rebuilding /re-registering UCS Central (MAC/WWPN issues?)
Hello,
My Standalone UCS Central VM has failed and we have no backups!! I need to rebuild a new UCS Central server. The old UCSC VM had MAC and WWPN pools configured. Has anyone ever had to unregister a UCS Central server and register a new one into the same environment.
How will the existing environment deal with the registration of a new UCSC?
Could I build a new server and recreate the pools in the same format? (Would it create conflicts as the existing services have been allocated MAC and WWPN already from this 'new' pool)
Cheers, KPHi Walter,
Unfortunately, I need to install UCSC from scratch and register it with my UCSMs.
I intend on reusing the hostname and IP
Luckily, we have no global service profiles (only local profiles and templates) but we do allocate WWPN, WWNN, UUID, MAC via UCS Central. I believe these will be preserved when I unregister the old server.
I wanted to also recreate the above pools in the same format/same range but wanted to make sure the new UCSC didn't provide existing IDs consumed by local profiles only available IDs. -
Register with UCS Central - Stuck on Repair Cert Verify Guid
I've got a new instance of UCS Central running v1.1.1a up. I'm trying to register my 3 UCS Manager domains. It seems to accept the hostname/shared secret and prompts me about accepting the certificate. But when I look at the FSM tab I see it's stuck on "Repair Cert Verify Guid".
Anyone else run into this?
Thanks,
JonathanHi Padma,
Are you sure the shared-secret matches between Central and UCSM ? Yes. Just to make sure, I reset the shared secret and tried to Register with UCS Central again, but it made no difference.
Are you using self-signed certs or third party signed certs on UCSM ? I am using the self-signed cert that UCS Central issues.
Are those certs still valid ? I think the self-signed cert is okay, I can login to the UCS Central webpage.
Were these UCSM previously registered with different Central device ? No. However one of the domains was successfully registered with this UCS Central server and then unregistered. Then I made a number of changes to the UCSM including updating to Infra bundle 2.1.2a. I don’t think updating the UCSM infrastructure bundle would have this effect, but I wonder if I need to reset the UCS Central system somehow.
Thank you for your assistance. -
How to shutdown UCS central vm
How do you shutdown UCS central virtual appliance? I have it running on a standalone ESXi machine and I need to shutdown the ESXi machine for some maintenance. Since the vm doesn't have VMware tools installed you can't shut it down from vCenter and I'm looking at the cli configuration guide and I don't see any specific command for shutting it down from the cli. Also, I don't see an option from the gui to shut it down. I ended up just powering off the vm since I'm just playing around with it right now, but for future reference I was wondering what's the proper way to shut the vm down.
As a workaround until this feature is available, i did see a 'reboot' option in local management CLI.
Prior to rebooting, edit the VM properties under Options > Boot Options > Check Force BIOS Setup. This will prevent the OS from reloading. Then you can shutdown.
Once you power the VM back up, the BIOS check will be gone and the VM will load.
Thank You,
Dan Laden

I have an iMac G4 currently running with OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it after it crashed a few years ago. I don't have any retail disks that match OS X 10.3.9, but I have the original manufacturer's hardware disk that came with the computer, which contains Mac OS version 10.2.7.
My question: In order to run disk utility and repair errors on this computer, do I need to purchase a retail version of the OS X 10.3 disk, or is there some way to run disk utility without the proper OSX disk? I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?
My computer is not having any substantial problems, but I want to avoid any by running Disk Utility now ...
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!Welcome To Discussions poptartsheart!
"...OS X 10.3.9, which was installed on it..."
How was it installed, and by whom?
You should have been provided a set of the Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, at that time.
"I read about checking for possible file system issues using fsck with OS X 10.3 or earlier—is fsck a viable option for me?"
You can run fsck, as instructed in this KB Article Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck, but you really need to have a set of the Panther 10.3.x Full Retail discs.
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, can be purchased, sometimes inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, AllMac, etc.

I'm trying to boot my system from multiple machines using only a USB. I have a PC & MacBook Pro. When I have built & configued my system correctly from my MacBook Pro, I have tried to boot it from PC as well to make sure the boot process has no errors.
Booting from MacBook Pro is completely fine (1st boot). After that, I have tried to boot from a PC and the boot process is also fine (2nd). However, when I went back to MacBook Pro to boot my system again (3rd boot), I get an error:
systemd-fsck: /dev/mapper/<dm_name>: Superblock last mount time (Tue Dec 3 15:25:41 2013,
systemd-fsck: now = Sat Jan 19 18:29:54 2013).
systemd-fsck: /dev/mapper/<dm_name>: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
systemd-fsck: (i.e., without -a or -p options)
I did run fsck and it says:
fsck from util-linux 2.24
e2fsck 1.42.8 (20-Jun-2013)
/dev/mapper/<dm_name> is mounted.
e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting.
However, when I just run reboot, the error has disappeared but everytime I switch to PC and then go back to MacBook Pro, I get that error and it disappear after I reboot.
Can anyone explain to me why I get that error? is the problem related to time configuration? how to configure it so that it wont get that error again.
I appreciate your help :)
Last edited by heyom (2013-12-03 18:29:52)Yes, it's related to time config. Apparently, the clock on your PC is correct but the clock on your Mac is very incorrect (Jan 2013). You need to synchronize the clocks.

MBP only runs if I start in single user mode and run fsck. WHY!
I am having trouble with my MBP. If I don't start in single user mode and run fsck -fy twice, I can't click on anything with my trackpad. I can't even log in. I've tried resetting pram/nvram, disk permission repair too but once i reboot... nada. I can't do anything in recovery mode, I can move around with arrows and tab but can't select anything. Safe mode hangs at about 20% and doesn't budge (left it for an hour, nothing). If I run fsck -fy it works but as soon as I reboot/ logout i'm back to square one again. Anyone know what causes this to happen? It just started tonight. I have a 2012 15" with Mountain Lion.
The boot drive is failing, or you have some other hardware fault.
Back up all data immediately, then make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed. -

I can´t run fsck /dev/sda6 is mounted
How I can enter on unique user mode to umount my partition and run fsck. A day before I had it this problem with my archive system, my archlinux was working ok but after shutdown my computer and turn on again I had it this problem. Please I need help with this problem, i´m going insane with this.

UCS Central unable to communicate with UCSM
We started using UCS Central .. Its very cool . I can add domains into UCS Central . I see pools of the domains I add in . I even see the fault Numbers at the top of the screen . What I cannot do is click on the faults tab or events tab of any Domain I add in . It makes UCS Central unusable .
The is happening with the defualt key ring and we created CA certificates also which doesn't solve the issue . It almost looks like its trying to connect to UCSM by IP rather then DNS name . I'm not sure why this happening . I will probably open a TAC case . I attached a screen shot of the error .
Hope someone has run into this .Hello Chris,
Is http to https re-direction enabled on UCSM ?
Is UCSM correctly registered with Central with valid certifcates ?

How to run fsck.vfat for USB-stick during cRIO-9030 boot?
Hi all,
we have a cRIO-9030 with a USB-stick. Sometimes after power loss the USB-stick filesystem (FAT32) gets corrupted and has to be checked/fixed. How can I configure cRIO LinuxRT to do that?
I've checked /etc/fstab, but it looks that the USB-stick is mounted somewhere else. I run mount - here is the line:
/dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 type vfat (ro,relatime,fmask=0000,dmask=0000,allow_utime=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,quiet,errors=remount-ro)
It would be nice if I can run fsck.vfat /dev/sdc1 every boot or when an error is detected.
Thanks in advance,
NikolaiHi NickViz,
My name is Ed form National Instruments Technical Support, I have researched into the topic and found that it is possible to use the 'System Exec.vi' to complete the command during the initialization of your RT application.
You simply need to input your commands as a string just as you would to command prompt/terminal (depending on OS), you can also execute commands via SSH however this is one way communication between the RT application and the command shell.
I have included some links below to articles which describe the methodology as well as give some further explanation into the NI Linux Real-Time OS.

http://www.ni.com/white-paper/14626/en/
I hope this is helpful and you achieve what it is you need, do note you will need to enable SSH scripting as described in the article on using PuTTY for your Real Time device.
Kind Regards,

UCS Central - Making Boot Policy - SAN boot target Provisioning
Gents
Some objects is always related to the domains and need to be provisioned in global like
VLANs: but we can did it by Provisioning VLANs with UCS Central Using VLAN ID Aliasing.
VSANs: the same idea in VLAN ID Aliasing.
Boot Policy adding SAN boot target : what about this issue how can I provision it so I can configure it globally in abstract way then it will take targets depend on domain during associating the global service profile.@Gmonroy
Thanks for support
But if I need to make a global Service profile temp so I can deploy SF from it in any domain, and if I referenced this service profile temp to one boot policy so i need to unbind each service profile created from this temp to associate a different boot policy in each domain ? " I will lose the benefit of updating service profile template "
Or I have to create different template per domain ? " I will lose the key benefit of centralizing Templates in UCS central"
Or there is any workaround to deply this senario.
