New disk from hp EVA

Hello all
I have a V440 running Solaris 9 with a Sun FC HBA (single-port) installed talking to a hp EVA 5000.
Right now I have a 100GB vDisk presented to this system.
Today I decied to create a second vDisk and presnet it to this same box but the OS is not aware of the new disk. I tried to use "devfsadm -C disk" to rescan the bus but the new disk was not found.
What I have to do to see the new disk from the EVA?
Cheers,
Andreas

After two days of hard work and digging the Sun documents site, I found the following:
Execute the code below to re-scan the SCSI bus and identify any changes made in the storages, like adding or removing virtual disks.
cfgadm -al -o show_FCP_dev c#where c# is the controller number allocated for your SAN
bash-3.2# cfgadm -a
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant Condition
c5 fc-fabric connected configured unknown
...Cheers,
Andreas

Recovery from time machine onto new disk drive

i am replacing my failed G5 internal disk drive with a new disk drive. can i recover everything (including OS) from my time machine backup or do i need to install the OS (Leopard) first and then recover from time machine?

You can boot off your 10.5 installer disc that was usable to install 10.5 on your G5 and run the restore from its Time Machine restore in the Utilities menu of the installer. Assuming the backup of course was done of the entire hard disk when you did a Time Machine backup. If it wasn't of the entire hard disk, then the restored backup won't be bootable, and you'll need to install 10.5 first.

Can Disk Utility make a "New Image" from a desktop copy of a DVD?

I have not been able to get Disk Utility to make "new images" of a couple of DVDs. For one of the DVDs, it may have something to do with a hyphen in the title. I haven't a clue why I'm failing with the second of the two DVDs. (Previously, I've had no trouble with about a dozen DVDs so far.)
Several members of this discussion group recommended me to copy&paste or drag&drop the files from a DVD to a new folder (say on the desktop), and then to drag the resulting new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and then to make a disk image using Disk Utility.
(Note: While I believe the original DVDs are not encrypted, I ran an experiment to make double sure, by using MacTheRipper first to produce folders containing clean files.)
However, when I drag the new folder into the box in Disk Utility, and let go of the mouse button, then the folder does not stay in Disk Utility window, but instead springs back to the desktop.
How can I get Disk Utility to make new images from the new desktop folders?
Note:
As a partially successsful work around:
For one of the two original DVDs - which has only about 3.7GB on it - I can sometimes (only sometimes) succeed in doing without Disk Utility simply by dragging the audio and video files from the new desktop folder onto a blank DVD, and then burning that DVD. However, in an average of about two out of every three attempts so far, my Mac rejects the new disk as unusable during the burn process.
For the other original DVD - which has about 4.36GB on it - the contents of the new desktop folder won't fit onto a blank DVD. It then gets messy - shrinking the files - so I'd like to avoid all of that by getting DIsk Utility to work properly.

For the answer, see the following excerpt from my own posting dated 2 May 2006, i.e.:
"I finally found out for myself (from Disk Utility Help) that to make a new image from a file/folder, rather than dragging the folder to the Disk Utility pane, in the top menu bar in Disk Utility you select Images/New/Image from Folder."

Restore Files & App's From Damaged Start-Up Disk (10.4) to New Disk (10.5)

I appreciate any help all of you can give me. This is kind of a weird one, so I'll try and be brief. I have a G5 that had problems with a malfunctioning start-up disk. I purchased a new hard drive and went to install 10.4 and found that it was an upgrade disk, not an original install disk. As the computer had a former owner, I originally purchased it and all of its software from him but evidently I only got the 10.4 Upgrade disk from him, not the full install. I have since purchased Leopard and installed it on the new start-up disk. Diskwarrior and Disk Utility will both allow me to open my old disk in a read-only manner, but I'm wondering now if there is an easy way to move all of my app's, files, email's, etc. over to the new disk.
I did partition the disk so that I could make an image and copy over the old disk to the new partitioned volume, but since it would then have a copy of 10.4 on it will this cause issues with my start-up volume running 10.5? Will my app's run alright under Leopard? What about running the files from that disk? Also since I had directory issues, I'm worried that by making an image and copying to the new one I may create more issues (Diskwarrior would not replace the old directory due to a disk malfunction).
I could reinstall most of the app's (include Final Cut Studio, Adobe After Affects, etc.) but I'm just not looking forward to going through each one individually. Also, is there an easy way to copy over my user files (doc's, email's, etc.) from that old drive?
The biggest thing is I just don't want to screw up the new drive and install. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Did you do the Super Duper clone before you tried to reinstall the OS? If so, the original install disc is likely earlier than 10.4.11, and that may be why you are getting the message.
When trying to reinstall the OS, did you select the "Archive and Install" option? If not, you might try that. Here's a link that might help:

Good luck!

Clean install from Leopard to M. Lion on new disk

I have a late 2007 MacBook Pro with 10.5.8 and a too small disk. I just purchased a 500GB internal disk. I'd like to do a clean install from Leopard to Mountain Lion using the new disk. What is the recommended procedure? I'd like to avoid the extra step of installing Snow Leopard first as documented.

Well, I wouldn't do it that way, too many steps.
I would:
1. Clone your current drive to the external drive, instead of using Time Machine. (Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper)
2. Boot from your external drive, update it to Snow Leopard.
3. Purchase and download ML from that external boot. Save a copy of the installer to a location other than the Applications folder, that way it won't be erased after you use it. (verify that you've made a copy and not just an alias)
4. Install your new drive, format it.
5. Boot from your external, run the ML installer, select your new empty internal as the install destination, when prompted, use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the external to the internal.
6. When done, you should have a fresh install of ML on your new internal and a bootable SL on your external as a backup. If you decide that you want to go back to SL, you can just erase the internal and clone the external back to the internal.
Note: You don't need to make a bootable USB installer, they're too slow anyway. Just keep a copy of the ML installer on your external, bootable drive, so that you won't have to download it again.
Another option: Since you're replacing the intrenal with a 500 Gig drive, you could partition it to two 250 Gig partitions. Put ML on one and SL on the other, i.e.,

Dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk,

dvd/cd drive works but won't allow me to install new programs from disk, doesn't recognize the disk, what can I do?

Well I was able to obtain a work around download of Flash and it installed fine but Firefox tells me it needs updating so I go out, thinking I'm "IN" finally to update it and I get that issue of not being able to get the update for it. It's a regular laptop, not a touch screen or one of those new fangled ones for todays world. In fact it's a refurb so it's probably origin date was a year or so ago before all this MS stuff took off fully. So not understanding why I'm feeling like I'm being BLOCKED from getting the updated Flash I need and desire. If I click on the little "X" and tell it to ignore the warning the vid will play just fine but don't want to have to do that every time. Must be a better way.
Again, I'm sorry for posting in the wrong forum, getting this posted in the Flash forum was my desire but the way Adobe has this set up I just couldn't figure it out. I belong to ALLOT of forums and most are pretty straight forward but this one is confusing!

Original iMac will not boot from new disk

I am having considerable difficulty getting a new disk to boot in an original 'Bondi blue' iMac.
I think I have researched this issue reasonably well and found a few references to it but no solution. I have more resources than most and have tried every trick I know. The story at the following link is not dissimilar to my experience:
http://www.applefritter.com/node/20518
Details:
iMac - original 233 MHz revision A with 160 MB RAM
New disk - 120 GB 7200 rpm Western Digital disk type WD1200SB
Format - HFS+ with 7 GB first partition and 107 GB second partition
Jumpers - both CD and disk set to master - normal for this iMac I believe
The iMac will seldom boot from OS X 10.3 on first partition or OS 9.2.2 on second partition with or without the other OS totally removed. I have reformatted several times and played with several disk drivers. I have zapped PRAM a few times. I sometimes get a grey screen but more frequently get a flashing question mark.
I can mount both volumes when booted from a CD and every test shows that they behave as expected. The disk boots properly in a G4.
I am prepared to try anything but I would particularly appreciate advice from somebody who knows what the problem is.

Eureka - it works - thanks very much.
It now boots from OS 9.2.2 on both partitions every time. I have yet to replaced the OS X that I removed earlier but I am not expecting difficulties.
My view is that http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25249 is badly written. I assume that item 4 should read 'OS X' and not "Mac OS". It may have been written on the assumption that users only want OS X and Classic on a single partition. My experience, particularly with early iMacs, is that it pays to have 2 bootable partitions and it is expedient to have OS X on one and OS 9.2.2 on the other with the OS 9.2.2 being used for Classic and for direct booting into OS 9.2.2.
My error was in paying insufficient attention to
http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=1277&pcreated=1095792241#jumper
which clearly indicates jumper positions for single drives although a few words about it would underline the point. I had already discovered that these iMacs normally have both CD and disk set to master so should have realised that strictly they are 'single drives'. I had initially used the clear, but misleading, drive silk screen printing, ie CS, slave, master to set the jumper but should have changed it when checking the WD site later. Perhaps they could use this thread to update their FAQs - I will mention it to them.
In answer to those, on this thread and elsewhere, who were not happy with my sloppy copying of OS 9.x, I discovered some years ago that as long as you 'blessed' the end result in situ with one of the free OS 9.x updaters it is surprising what you can get away with. - I am not advising anybody to do this unless it is within the terms of their Apple license!
Now I wonder if I should stick with OS X 10.3 or if it is worth trying OS X 10.4 with

Does anybody know how satisfactory it is and if it has serious memory or speed implications? My only slightly unusual software is Cisco VPN client.

How do I create a new boot disk from an existing one?

I have a G4 Quicksilver with internal PATA disk, running 10.4. I want to upgrade the internal disk from 40 GB to 160 GB. I have installed a second disk and can see it fine, but what I really want is to put the system on the new disk and have it be the one and only boot disk in the system. Is there a straightforward way to do this? Is a carbon copy cloner the way to go? Will that have problems with the different disk sizes? Will it handle bad blocks properly? Isn't there a way to just use drag-and-drop?
Once I have made a copy, how do I make it the boot disk? Do I have to swap it into the PATA "master" position to do this?

Cloning And Backup Tools
A bootable clone is an exact copy of your drive which is capable of booting your computer. Making a copy of your computer which is capable of actually starting the computer requires special copying procedures. Some people just back up data files but if you have problems you have to reinstall all your operating system and all your applications. With a bootable clone you just start up from the backup drive and clone back everything.
To copy files from one hard drive to another hard drive you can use:

How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro

How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro. I want to install office for Mac from a disk but dont know how to share har drive from macpro
thanks

The new iMac's don' t have DVD drives however almost all have a disk drive. The easiest method of installing MS Office for Mac on your new iMac is to download it from Microsoft and then input the code you received when you purchased your original license. Otherwise you can use the DVD drive on your MBP to install on your iMac, that feature is called Remote Disc. Instructions for Remote Disc can be found at:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

I want to transfer all my bookmarks from an old disk to a new disk. What file(s) do i need to copy?

I had lots of bookmarks on my old computer. The disk from that computer is currently a slave drive on my new computer as I'm transferring data. I've installed firefox on the new computer. Now I need to transfer all my bookmarks to the new computer's disk. What file(s) should I copy to get my old bookmarks on the new computer?

Thanks Bug Follower. it worked. Phew!
Something tells me simplifying this job for novices like me would be a good feature for the programmers to add.

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7

New Virtual hard disk wizard hangs after creating new vhd from huper-v manager on windows 7 workstation.
Windows 2008r2 hosts the hyper-v server. I can create VMs and VHD's when connecting to the server locally with the hyper-v manager.
The issue arises when I try to connect to the hyper-v server from my workstation which runs windows 7.
I have installed The Windows6.1-KB958830-x64-RefreshPkg.msu that was suggested for windows 7 sp1.
I can connect to the hyper-v server, create vm's but I cannot create vhd's the gui just hangs with no errors in event log or on screen.
The files are there on the hyper-v hard drive but i suspect they are just created by windows as they are written and are not valid.

I've had just the same solution. Both did Hang Fixed size and flexible.
Two parts were taken:
1 - KB939820 for Windows 2003 server based domain controllers
2 - disable using IPv6 on your NIC
Result - both types of VHD's are created normaly.
-----Infrastructure----
Windows 2003 Domain upgtraded to 2008R2
Windows Server 2008R2 Hyper-V - virtualisation clustered
Windows 7 Pro - Hyper-V management

Can I move the OS X boot disk from a core 2 duo mini to a new i5 mini and have it boot and run normally? Some info suggests I can.

I have a 2.53ghz core 2 duo mac mini. I just purchased an i5 2.5ghz mac mini (with amd 6630m graphics).
Can I simply ermove the OS X boot disk from the core 2 duo mini and put it into the i5 mini and have the it boot up and run fine?
Some info I read suggests I can do this and it should be no problem and will work fine.
I am running 10.9.3 of OS X.
Thanks.

- I would connect the two via FireWire
- Boot the new one Target Disk Mode
- Boot the old one in Recovery
OS X: About OS X Recovery
and then uses disk utility to restore the HD on the new computer from the starup disk of the old one.
You could also boot the old one normally, download SuperDuper and the clone the old one's startup disk to the new one.

New computer w/windows 7 will not install back up disks from old computer

I have been trying to install my backup disks from my old
computer onto my new computer, which is Windows 7. It starts to
import, then after about 10 songs, it will not import any
more. I have an iPod touch, so I don't think I can use it to import the songs. Any ideas on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

Why don't you try to first copy the contents for the CDs to your hard drive and then just add the files to your library?

Difficulty with SAN boot of solaris 10 (on V245) from HP EVA 4000 -

Hi
This is my first post. I'm trying to get my head around what's preventing me booting a V245 solaris 10 from a LUN presented from an HP EVA 4000.
The machine boots up ok from a local disk. So, i've done the LUN masking (presentation) on the EVA and the Brocade zoning - solaris can see the disk.
I've formated it close to the current internal root disk, and had used ufsdump/ufsrestore and installboot to copy the contents of / onto the new LUN , which i had mounted as /mnt.
My problem is i just can't seem to get at the new disk at the ok prompt - i'm never quite sure that i'm booting from the correct disk.
I believe all the compatibility with o/s qlc card drivers and the EVA are in order.
The qlc HBA is as follows:
Sun SG-XPCI2FC-QF2/x6768A 1077 2312 1077 10A and have suitable patch 119139-33
Here's some output:

hi,guys:
i am interesting in your question. i have never try it like your experience.
maybe the cause is drive . either the OS is running . the drive can load. or relation with the style of server .
i think you can try it like the following again.
when you install OS , you chocie EVA disk .
remeber . if the test is complete. you must tell me .
the following is my contact: [email protected]
best regards

Understanding distribution of space in a disk group - HP EVA

Dear Friends,
I have been ripping my hairs apart for the last 1 month trying to understand how EVA works in order to split the space into different RSS (vRAID0,vRAID1,vRAID5,vRAID6) in a disk group. I work for a company who has got HP EVA P6550 SAN in their environment. We have M6625 enclosures and 300GB 15K SAS disks. Yesterday we installed the 13th enclosure (our boss has ordered 5 new disk enclosures), i have told him that we can only add 18 enclosures on the P6550. We are getting multiple requests from different projects for storage space (10TB, 15TB, 13TB and so on). Most of these requests mention that they require RAID5 redundancy from SAN level. We have 3 disk groups defined in our SAN and we usually add new disks to these disk groups. What i do not understand is that the moment i add disks to existing disk groups , i can see vRAID0 RSS in the disk group is going on increasing , whereas vRAID5 and vRAID1 increase rarely. As i mentioned before whenever we create LUNs (vDISKS) we assign it to be vRAID5. In this situation what can i do in case i do not want to add any further space on vRAID0 since i am not goign to use it, also how can i mirate this hude space from vRAID0 onto my highly demand vRAID5 RSS....
Sorry i may not be very clear in my explanation , please ask me in case you require any further information... Your help is appreciated as i failed miserably to find any info on this. Please help....

i think it is not possible to migrate the space from one RSS to the other , however if some one can confirm that will be great
