NFS over two networks

I would like to export shares via NFS to two directories simultaneously, runninng OSX Server 10.4.8. One network is public (150.xx.xx.xx) and one is private (192.xx.xx.xx). The two networks can talk to each other via ssh, and I have the private authenticating against the LDAP directory on an XServe that in on both networks. However, I cannot seem to export NFS directories to both networks simultaneously, using the client IP option (everything is static). Maybe I'm missing some setting?
Can someone tell me if what I'm trying is even possible? If it is, how do I get it work?
Thanks in advance.

you would need to have the router/firewall at your church configured to forward specific ports of UDP and TCP traffic to the computer you wish to remotely control. Depending on the firewall, you may also have to sign the computer a static ip or a dhcp name. Also, if your churches ISP connection is not static you'll probable want to sign up and configure a service like DYNdns to handle IP changes.
Or you could use a service like logmein. most of the time you can just install it, and it worsk. so you don't have to know about firewalls, routers, static ip, DYNdns. You can use a mac, pc, or ipad to remotely connect to the computer.
If you want to go the Apple Remote Desktop Route, a good place to start would be to find out what kind of internet connection your church has, and if it's static or dynamic. As well as what firewall/router router they have. Along with what ever user name / password they've set on the router/firewall.
Personally I can do all this stuff; but I found logmein much eaiser and more reliable to use. And I don't have to worrya bout the router/firewall being reset.

  • ISCSI over two network card?

    Hi.
    Is it ok to create iSCSI connection over two different network card?
    I have a few servers with 2 4-port 1Gb ethernet card, and I mean to use one port of each card to get redundancy.
    Is there any problem that can be happen using two different network card in active mode
    Another thing I am worried about is iSCSI VLAN. Does it affect performance to put iSCSI traffic in VLAN?
    Thanks on any advice.
    Ante

    Although it's good to have separate switches for iSCSI, it actually depends on the size of your environment (I/O requirements) and the current switches you have in place (port buffer size, Jumbo Frame support, flow control capable, ...), whether it is ok to simply use a dedicated VLAN on them. I've configured both in my customer's environments, and didn't have any issues with VMware's software iSCSI so far.
    Assuming you are talking about software iSCSI, there's nothing special you need to configure on the network adapters themselves. It's basically configuring the IP addresses on the VMkernel port groups, setting the failover policies, and - if you are going to use Jumbo Frams - setting the MTU on the vSwitch as well as on the port groups.

  • HP 932C PRINTER DOES NOT WORK OVER A NETWORK WITH TWO DIFFERENT OPERATIONAL SYSTEMS.

    I have a 932c HP printer connected via USB to a Windows XP desktop computer (Dell E520), which is part of a home network.
    I also have an HP Pavilion dv5 notebook, running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, connected to the same network. This notebook can find the printer over the network. However, when I try to capture the 932c printer, the following dialog box appears:
    "The server for the `hp deskjet 930c series` printer does not have the correct printer driver installed. If you want to search for the proper driver, click OK. Otherwise, click Cancel and contact your network administrator or original equipmente manufacturer for the correct printer driver."
    When I click OK, another dialog box appears:
    "The file `*.INF`on (Unknown) is needed. Type the path where the file is located, and then click OK."
    However, I can't find any workable *.inf file in the HP notebook Hard drive (both partitions).
    I have already tried to download the driver from the HP website, but it says that Windows Vista already has the driver for such printer! Well, now I'm stucked!
    I'd like to point out that the printer works fine if I plug it directly to the HP notebook's USB port. But I want to operate the printer via the home network, keeping it hooked to the Windows XP desktop computer.
    How to solve this problem? Thanks.

    This is the HP notebook forums. I would recommend posting this in the printer forums for better coverage.

  • Ufsdump and restore over a networks

    hi im a beginner of unix i want to know how to dump a workstation root and home partition in the server in the network or different location using ufsdump command inorder to restore it in a defferent location using ufsrestore command..im using nfs and solaris 8.because this is my problem our workstation is working and the other workstation got broken and i want to dump a working workstation not physically connect the hard disk in the working workstation..i will dump it in my office.over a network
    please help me..this is useful for me cause this is always happen when workstation have powerfailure or not shutdown properly..
    thnks

    Create two shares on the nfs server and share it out across the network.
    On the workstation that you want to use as your ufs image, mount that share point on the workstation, say /restore_root and /restore_home
    mount nfs_server:/share_dir /restore_root
    mount nfs_server:/share_dir2 /restore_home
    Issue the following command (the assumption is that root is on slice 0 and home is on slice 3)
    ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 | (cd /restore_root;ufsrestore xf -)
    ufsdump 0f - /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s3 | (cd /restore_home;ufsrestore xf -)

  • Printing to shared windows printer over wireless network

    Hi,
    I just bought my wife a MacBook and recently updated it to Leopard (OS X 10.5). I have a Lexmark X5150 printer connected to a desktop PC running Windows XP. I can share files between the two computers no problem either wirelessly or through an ethernet connection through my router. But, I'm having troubles accessing the shared printer through the Macbook wirelessly. If I connect the printer directly to the Macbook, I can add the printer with appropriate drivers no problem. However, when I try to add the printer as Windows shared printer, the appropriate driver doesn't show up in the drop down list. I can navigate to and find the printer over the network fine, but I just can't find the right driver. I'm a newbie to Mac and was wondering if there is anyway to find the driver using Finder or something similar to determine where it physially resides on the Mac. I know it's there because it is automatically selected when I directly connect the printer to the Macbook and add the printer. Any thoughts??

    Couldn't figure things out, so I'll just stick with connecting the printer directly to the macbook.

  • Unable to print to USB printer over the network

    Hi all,
    I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
    I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
    Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
    Any suggestions for what to try next?

    In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
    Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
    Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

  • HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"

    I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet.  I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
    The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
    The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
    When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address.  It is the only thing it discovers.
    I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network"  Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
    This just cycles with no progress.  I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV.  No change.
    I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer.  It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
    I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I am having a similar problem as well.  The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility.  However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized.  I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck.  As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
    To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues.  Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated!

  • Does having two networks on the same router cut the speed of each network?

    I have successfully been using a FiOS and Time Capsule network for over two years. When I had it installed the FiOS service man set up a network without the Apple Time Capsule. I later set up an additional network that included the Time Capsule. My first question is, does that mean I have cut the speed potential in half? If so, can I safely delete the unsused network?

  • Time Machine over the Network: Terribly Slow

    Hello,
    I've been using Time Machine for over 3 years now with no issues over the network; the destination being a 2TB external Seagate connected to another iMac connected through gigabit ethernet. Everything has been working flawlessly: Every hour Time Machine would MOUNT the sparseimage it created on the disk, BACKUP the data and UNMOUNT the disk image when finished.
    Until I upgraded to Lion. The above process is still working per se, however it is PAINFULLY slow! A 50MB backup can take up to AN HOUR! Searching around on the net, advised that there could be an issue with Spotlight as well, however this is not the case for me, since Spotlight finished a new index in under 30 mins. Followed every tutorial I could find on the issue, to no avail..
    I then upgraded to Mountain Lion with the hope that the issue will clear itself. Cleared my old backups, resetted Time Machine by erasing its .plist file, restarted my iMac just to make sure and connected Time Machine to the network share anew, creating a "sharing only" account on the host iMac, i.e. the one that has the external HD connected through USB. Still no luck.
    I painfully realize that I still have the same issue. While backing up, network traffic is under 100KB, and activity monitor does not show any backupd or mds or any similar processes taking anything over 3% of CPU time.
    What could be wrong?

    Hello again,
    Tries on the other iMac (also running 10.8.2) and things are exactly the same: Image creation takes almost half an hour, and copying crawls at under 1MB/min. While time machine image is mounted and Time Machine is "backing up", accessing ANY disk on the host Mac is VERY slow. Seems like something hogs up appleshare when Time Machine is in use. Mind you, there is insignificant network traffic as seen by Activity Monitor, as well as insignificant CPU usage while backing up.
    Stopping backup and using tmutil to set the Time Machine destination to the mounted image as mounted by Finder, solves the issue again, revving up Time Machine throughput to over 20MB/sec! There is also no issues acessing the other Mac as well, under this scenario.
    Up to this point, the only way I have managed to use Time Machine over a networked external HD is through the NAS server. Both configurations where I am using a Mac running 10.8.2 as a server of the external disk have failed with very low throughput while backing up. Something must be wrong in 10.8.2's afp when Time Machine is mounting the image by itself.
    I may need to remind you that I have been successfully backing up to the external HD for 4 years now; something broke a few months after the client iMac was upgraded to Lion and at the time when the host iMac was upgraded to Mountain Lion. Will try to locate a Mac running some later OS X version to do some more testing.
    Also reminding that I have used two distinctive iMacs and two external HD drives for my tests so far. The client iMac has remained the same, however 10.8.2 has been reinstalled on it a couple of times. Have also used an afp-enabled NAS server which worked fine with Time Machine.

  • Time Machine over the Network

    Hello,
    I've been using Time Machine for over 3 years now with no issues over the network; the destination being a 1TB-limited sparseimage setup as instructed by this tutorial. The image resides on an external HD connected on a network-connected iMac. Everything has been working flawlessly: Every hour Time Machine would MOUNT the disk image on its own, BACKUP the data and UNMOUNT the disk image as well.
    Until I upgraded to Lion. The above process is still working per se, however it is PAINFULLY slow! A 50MB backup can take up to AN HOUR! Searching around on the net, advised that there could be an issue with Spotlight as well, however this is not the case for me, since Spotlight finished a new index in under 30 mins.
    While testing, I tried to copy a 200MB file ONTO the Time Machine disk (mounted from the sparseimage automatically by Time Machine) and it took OVER 3 hours! I then stopped Time Machine (which tool half an hour) and mounted the image via Finder and the same file copied in 4 secs!
    I really don't get it; I bet both times the mounted Volume runes under the same protocol, AFP via TCP, why is it behaving so strangely when auto-mounted by Time Machine?
    Next, I read about tmutil has been added to Lion upwards and that setting a mounted disk image as destination is now supported by TM. So I went on and mounted the image via the Finder, set the mounted Volume as the time machine destination via tmutil and gave the backup a try. The process went away really fast, was extremely pleased!
    However: As soon as the backup finishes, the Volume EJECTS and TM reports that the next backup is to be made "when the backup disk is connected"! It will NOT mount the image by its own, neither to backup or to access old backups. But wait, there's more: Be selecting "Backup now" via the TM menu item, the Volume MOUNTS INSTANTLY and the backup takes place, with no issues whatsoever!
    What I need is a TM that backs up quickly over the network and mounts its disk automatically.
    Well, I guess if you had the time and will to read the above text, you may try to help, if you have a clue, that is...
    Thank you.

    I am afraid that the information on the excellent tutorial (which I have already checked many times) don't help me much... I have two main questions:
    1. Why is the TM-mounted volume so slow? Mounting the same volume through the Finder works blazing fast! Is there something special in the way TM mounts its volumes?
    2. Is there a proper way to force TM to start an automatic backup, when the backup volume is not mounted? It used to work when the destination was the network volume, but does not work when the destination is set to the sparsebundle volume which inside the network volume.

  • Bridge CS2 - files over a network

    I have been using Bridge CS2 for a while now. It is mainly used for the preview and management of RAW files. Until recently, the files have been located on the local drive (C:) and there has been no issue. However, I have recently, for security reasons, moved all of the files onto a Linux file server. Ever since then, it has been painfully slow using Bridge, infact it crashes infrequently.
    I know that the solution may seem obvious - the file transmission is being slowed by the network/server. However the network runs a gigabit LAN with a gigabit switch between the two machines. The physical location of the server is less than two meters from the workstation, and I can confirm that the LAN is infact running at 1000 (monitoring via task manager of file transfer in Explorer between two machines). Regardless, even at 100bit LAN, Bridge should still be running smoothly.
    I copy the RAW files (about 12meg each pic) onto the server, and then open Bridge and it takes about 10mins to load up about 100 files.
    I have tried clearing the cache, and running the cache on both the local and network machine, and all of the this suggested by Adobe http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=317912.
    As far as I can tell, Bridge is taking a long time to build the thumbnails. I have even tried turning off anti-virus and firewall, but there is no difference. Every other network activity takes little/no time and I need this to work smoothly. Surely I don't have to restrict to local files!
    Please help me! Do I need to change any settings? Is it normal for Bridge to take so long over a network?

    I realise that operating over a network is never faster than a local drive, however using a gigabit LAN and dedicated file server should be the closest thing to running a local drive, if not as fast as a USB2.0 drive (which runs at 480Mbps).
    I have however been able to solve the problem. I am not sure if this is an actual "fix" but I did a few things:
    1) I unmounted the network drive and remounted it using SUBST (ie "SUBST X: C:\directory\path")
    2) I cleared the cache for both Bridge and the Camera Raw ("C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Bridge" & "C:\Documents and Settings\ [user] \Application Data\Adobe\Camera Raw"); then
    3) I rebooted all machines (including the sever with "sudo shutdown -Fh now"); and finally
    4) After reopening Bridge the first time I closed it down again and cleared the cache again.
    Now it works perfectly - infact it is very close to the speed it was working with the local drive. The cache build very fast and there is no more hanging or crashes, and I am back to the old Bridge!!

    Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
    What I did wrong was:
    - not copying the master image to the nbi folder
    - selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
    The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
    With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
    In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
    Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
    http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
    This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

  • Is it possible to scan over a network

    Is it possible to scan over a network using Airport Express? I ahve a brother mfc210c.

    My brother color laser (MFC9840CDW) is great for scanning over my ethernet network and I've read that it supports wireless, but haven't bothered to turn that function on. Of course it's a network printer, and Brother does provide scanner software for Leopard for my printer. I can also scan from the printer to any machine on the network.
    Basically, if you get a machine that's designed to work, then yes, you can scan over a network.
    In your case, USB is not a two way connection for a printer from just about any USB Print Server. A lot of times the USB print servers will not even let you read the ink levels. Brother will not waste the time creating network scanning software for a non-network scanner.

  • HT204014 How can I get spotlight search to work over a network running OS X Server?

    I have installed OS X Server on an iMac to share its files over a network.
    I can access the files fine, but if I try and search the shared folders from another Mac on the network it yields no results.
    How can I get search to work as well as it does on the files on local disks.

    Spotlight searching of shared volumes works for me using OS X 10.10.3 Server and OS X 10.10.3 client, as follows:
    If I use Spotlight to search for some content "Aaron Aardvark" the file that contains this text does not seem to show up in the immediate results, but if I select "Show All in Finder" and switch from "This Mac" to "Shared" the file "untitled text.txt" that contains it is listed.
    In the past Spotlight was responsible for bringing servers to their knees, so I suspect that the above two-step process is a way of limiting server searches to cases where it is actually required.
    Server 4.1 (OS X 10.10.3) seems to add the extended attributes needed to allow Spotlight to index sharepoints:
         test_server3:~ admin$ ls -el /Volumes/Server\ 3\ Users/
         total 0
         drwxr-xr-x+ 4 admin  staff  136 30 Apr 17:02 Server 3 Users
          0: user:_spotlight inherited allow list,search,file_inherit,directory_inherit
         test_server3:~ admin$
    but in the past, e.g. Snow Leopard server, you could choose whether or not these attributes were set or not. IIRC  Snow Leopard clients would always include server volumes in Spotlight searches, causing significant slow-downs on the client, so a lot of sysadmins, myself included, chose not to enable it.
