NSS4000 missing volumes and shares, but RAID ok?

We have an NSS4000 with a RAID5 array. We started a large CIFS file transfer to a windows 2003 server from a sharepoint this weekend ironiclly to back up the device and during the file scan process, we encountered communiction errors and the file transfer didn't even start. We could ping the device, but could not log into web admin or mount any shares. We pulled the power cord, put the usb boot drive in the back usb slot as usual and rebooted the device. The device booted up ok we can log into the web admin, the RAID5 array lists OK / healthy, but there are no volumes or shares.
I found this post
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2114726
and thought it was like our case and:
1. backed up configuration
2. reset to factory
3. restored configuration
4. reset drives (when powered off)
5. looked over the fstab config files and the seem to have the right volume and shares listed,
Above did not restore access to shares. After some addtional research, I found reference to shares going missing after improper shutdown, so we created a new volume on the healthly array with the exact same name as before and a single share with same name as before / rebooted. Not exactly sure this was the best idea since I'm not sure what creating a volume and a share might do to actual sectors on the array.
The array lists 0% used, but the 1.36 array was almost full before this issue.
Questions:
1. is there anything else we can try that is within the grasp of non linux experts?
2. any recommendations for data recovery companies expereinced with recovering data from these devices?
3. I have contacted http://www.securedatarecovery.com/ for a data recovery quote.  Has anyone used them?
Thanks for any input.

  • Presenter View During Live Events In Show and Share

    Hi,
    I am a bit confused about the user authorisation during live events of Show and Share. There is a user who is creating the event and publishing it. I think this user should be the moderator. He can see the questions tab and check the questions coming from the other participants and send them to the presenter view tab.
    I have found some information about the moderator and presenter in the user guide for show and share but I could not find out which user can be a presenter, or are the presenter and the moderator the same user or not.
    Below is from user guide:
    The live event moderator pre-screens these incoming questions and comments as they arrive. Moderators can:
    • Move any high-priority questions to the Presenter’s View tab. • Move any low-priority questions to the Removed Questions tab, either manually or automatically by keyword. • Use keyword filters to see and manage only the messages that match those keywords.
    . The presenter then responds to any number of these pre-screened questions and comments. (These are messages that the moderator moved to the Presenter’s View tab.)
    From the above information, it seems that there are seperate presenter and moderator, but is there a way to assign a user other than moderator only the presenter rights?

    Great question, Ken!  I too would like to know if there is a way to transfer video content management to an other author.  In the case that a user publishes content and later leaves the company, retaining control of the published material is a requirement.

  • I have created two related books in Lightroom 5 (Volumes 1 and 2) but my balance of page numbers is off. So I'd like to take some pages out of one book (complete with images) and paste them into the other. Is this possible?

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • Shared volume file transfers fail and kill my RAID. Help!

    Hi all,
    I'm not an IT expert by any stretch, so please go easy if my questions are stupid. First, a quick rundown of my setup:
    Xserve Quad with 10.5.2
    Areca 1220ML RAID card (this is a hardware RAID card with 256MB)
    NORCO 1220DS 8-drive RAID box
    Multiple sharepoints all coming from RAID box (one 4-drive RAID5 and several single drive passthroughs)
    Trunked 2GB connections to most client machines, client connect using AFP
    I have been experiencing potential signs of the issues others are having here (AFP etc.) but the most troubling is that occasionally, when attempting to move a folder from one sharepoint to another (whether doing this from a client machine or on the server directly) or when moving files from a client machine to the sharepoint, finder will hang after moving 84kb or so, I get the beachball, and end up having no choice but to force reboot the system. Upon restart, sometimes the RAID volumes are all present and working, but several times the drives just disappeared outright and the admin tool for the RAID card says the RAID volume/passthrough drive has failed. I have to rebuild them and lose every ounce of data. Yay!
    Is this a familiar/known type of problem to anyone out there? I am not quick to assume the card is at fault, as it is a reasonably expensive hardware-based RAID card and its drivers are built in to with Leopard Server 10.5 (there is even speculation that Apple's own RAID card is based on Areca's) which tells me they've passed a quality test to some degree.
    This problem doesn't always happen, and there are times where it will happily transfer large quantities of giant files with no problems. It usually seems to glitch out when some time has passed since the last attempted file transfer, which makes me wonder if this might be part of the dreaded AFP disconnect issues.

    I just wanted to close this question out and let the community know that I isolated the problem down to my RAID box, the NORCO DS-1240. These things have been noted to have build issues, including the excessive use of solder and other issues that lead to shorting out etc.
    After hours in tech support land, I replaced it with a Enhance Technologies EnhanceBox and everything now works beautifully.

  • Intel xserve with hardware raid. Volume not mounting but drives show good

    So this morning we came in and found that our intel xserve with the hardware raid is not booting.
    Booted from OS X Install DVD and Raid Utility shows the Raidset good and all drives good.
    Open disk utility and no volume form the raid will show up.
    ANY IDEAS!??!

    New information.
    So out of the blue the Volume decided it needed to run an initializing run.
    Apple care says I have to just wait until its done and see if the volume mounts.
    Very strange since everything was green (good) until just then.
    UPDATE:
    Next day, the initializing has finished and now the Volume says (good) but the Raid Set is now "in transition". Applecare says I have to just wait till its done and see if the volume mounts.

  • Target Disk Mode with RAID Volume and Macbook Pro

    I just received a MBP which I today intended to use to pull a netrestore image off our lab server. The latter is a Mac Pro with 2 RAID 1 arrays. I started the Mac Pro in target disk mode, hooked it up to the MBP and was expecting to see the RAID volumes to show up in the finder. Unfortunately nothing happened. I then started the disk utility only to find out that the volumes are shown but are not accessible.
    Doing the same thing using our backup server (running OS X 10.4.8 server) works like a charm.
    Is it possible that MBPs and/or the non-server version of OS X don't support target disk volumes off RAID arrays?
    I used the same MBP as a target disk mode slave today and that, too, worked.

  • Eclipse SLI slow install of Vista 64 and no bootable raid 0 volume

    I've been trying to install Vista 64 on the MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2x Seagate 1.5TB hdd in raid 0. Can someone please help me?
    I have the following:
    1) Onboard ATA Devices set for [RAID]
    2) Use ctl-i to create a raid volume [RAID0] - the volume reads as not bootable
    3) Vista 64 install takes a long long time and does not recognize the disk volumes even with the ICH10R SATA RAID driver.
    MSI Eclipse SLI mobo BIOS v1.8
    OCZ DDR3 1600 mem
    i7 950

    Double and triple checked both the printed manual and the downloadable 7520v1.0 manual and found nothing indicating how to get the RAID 0 volume to become bootable.
    I've tried configuring RAID in two ways:
    1) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [RAID]
        Creating a RAID0 Volume - Not bootable shows
    - Raid volume was created but was not seen during vista 64 install as valid drives, even after driver was installed.
    2) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [AHCI]
        Installing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
    - Vista 64 install was good but Intel Matrix Storage Manager did not have the action for making an existing device into raid.
    I could however, make the RAID0 partition size smaller (1500TB) and that would allow the drives to show as bootable. There may be a bug with the Intel ATA Driver for drive size or a bug with the Intel RAID Utility (ctl-i).

  • Help! My photos won't stream to the cloud and share with other devices. ( I've had the photo stream button on all the time I've had the phone.) The only way I can do it is by manually adding them to photo stream and this is very slow/ misses photos..

    Hello,
    I'm very frustrated. I need to delete photos from my iphone to increase the storage so I can update the operating system. Since first using the phone I bought extra iCloud storage and ensured the photo streaming button for the iCloud was turned on.
    Unfortunately it seems to have a mind of its own and will download and share some photos but the majority have not been downloaded.
    I've resorted to manually putting them on photo stream (the one you share with friends) so the photos will be on my iPad. It also takes ages for my iphone to put them on the photo stream. It's downloaded one album x3 ..??!!? I've tried deleting the duplicated photos but it's now frozen on me....
    I haven't dared delete the photos from my camera roll in case I loose them all and I'm therefore stuck in the situation of being unable to download the new operating system or take anymore photos/download music/apps. It *****!
    Please Help!
    Are there any other options for me to be able to  download my photos when I don't have a computer/laptop? Is there a permanent online storage option I can use?
    Thanks
    Becky

    Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
    I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
    You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
    The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
    Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
    The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

    My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

    You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.  However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID.  She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.
