Promise FastBuild Utility Not Working, or User Error? UPDATE - 3/31

Currently testing the following barebones system outside of the chassis:
MSI K9A2 Platinum - version 1 (currently using v1.4 BIOS)
AMD 5000+ Black Edition CPU
MSI Radeon 3870 GPU
WD6400AAKS (Boot Drive)
G.Skill DDR2 800 (1GB stick)
Corsair VX550W PSU
Logitech cordless Keyboard & Mouse
22" Viewsonic Monitor
Windows XP Professional 64-bit w/SP2
-- all at factory settings; nothing overclocked; all drivers installed & updated to current versions.
I am trying to get the BIOS to recognize a Maxtor 15K Atlas II SAS drive, which will
be used as my boot disk. From what I know, the drive needs to be set as a JBOD RAID
in order to be recognized by the system, but I cannot access the necessary functions
in the Promise FastBuild Utility in order to do this.
I started by testing a SATA boot drive to see if I could access the RAID functions.
FastBuild Utility presents you with four parameters, accessed by number keys 1 - 4:
View Drive Assignments........................[ 1 ]
Define LD..................................... ........[ 2 ]
Delete LD..................................... ........[ 3 ]
Controller Configuration........................[ 4 ]
Using the BIOS that shipped with the mainboard, I was unable to access any of the
parameters except for the fourth. Typing 1, 2, or 3 did not bring up a screen at all.
Typing 4 brought up a screen, but there were no options to select, just information.
So, I figured perhaps it was a bug with the early BIOS, and flashed it to v1.4.
The problem is the same. Typing 1, 2, or 3 does nothing, and typing 4 presents
me with a screen that has no selectable options.
Am I just missing something obvious here?
Thanks in advance.

Hold on!
You are going the wrong way.
Of course FastBuild can't do much, it's just 1 drive.
During install, you need to hit F6 and install the proper driver, then the driver should show and can be partitioned and formatted.
The FastBuild util doesn't do this, it can only create an array, nothing else, it can NOT format the drive(s) for Windows.
You need to put the right driver on a FLOPPY and load it with F6, no CDrom involved at this stage, only floppy.
So I should disconnect the sata boot drive, leave the unformatted SAS drive connected to the Promise
controller, and do a Windows install in order to F6 the Promise driver onto the hard drive, correct?
Also Bas -- in another thread you had linked the current Promise driver for SAS HDDs (for the K9A2 Platinum)
but by the time I saw the thread the link was gone from your post. Would you mind reposting that so I can
confirm I'm installing the correct one? (I believe I am, but after one gets frustrated trying for days on end
to get something to work, one can get a bit befuddled LOL )
Thanks for your help.

Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers

Oracle EPM Planning 11.1.2.1 - Ziplogs utility not working on all servers
We have Planning 11.1.2.1 distributed so that Planning web app, EAS etc. are on own webservers and Essbase is on separate cluster.
Currently we have an issue with ziplogs utility - it seems to work on Essbase servers gathering all necessary ODL logs for over 100MBs, but on Planning Webservers ziplogs utility seems to start, but generates only empty 1kb zip file without any content.
We haven't touched logging otherwise, everything should be pretty much in original state.
Unfortunately I can't remember now exactly, but I have a a hunch that ziplogs utility worked prior patching Planning element on webservers to 11.1.2.1.600.
Other servers or elements haven't been patched (although Oracle recommends also FS, EB etc. to be patched to 11.1.2.1.600). I'm wondering, could this be the reason as in a way FS and EB are on same patching level whereas Planning is not?
Also, there seems to be a bit of limited diskspace on webservers (still waiting for extension), but I would imagine lack of diskspace for preparing any temp files etc. would results in some errors, the problem is that ziplogs doesn't give any errors, just runs very short time and then ends bringing 1kb empty file.
Has anyone experienced anything similar and are you perhaps able to give quick guidance how to enhance or modify ziplogs batch file etc. to make it create a bit of logging of its own actions?
Thanks in advance if anyone has ideas what could be the root cause for this or faced something similar.

Okay, I was able to get it installed and Common Components installed correctly this time. I still can't access workspace though.
Is there something I need to do before I can browse to http://localhost:19000/workspace/index.jsp?
All I get is the following error:
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
Anyone know what's going on?

Default Dashboard not working after user login

Hi All,
We have one issue in 11.1.1.7.1 where PORTALPATH is not working for users. As a result, user lands on home page/recent page instead of the default dashboard after login.
I followed Doc ID 1576576.1 and Bug 17071629 - PORTALPATH SESSION VARIABLE IS INEFFECTIVE is reported. I applied patch 17071629 on top of 7.1. I have tried and verified that
·     The URL we are using to login is “http://machinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1”
·         There is no Start Page set in user’s My Account other than Default.
·         In Answers, the PORTALPATH session variable fetches correct dashboard path.
·         I removed space in the dashboard name and tried with following path “/shared/Dashboard/_portal/PortalPathTest”. Also, assigned same default value to the session variable. I also tried “/Shared Folders/Dashboard/Dashboards/PortalPathTest” and “%2fshared%2fDashboard%2f_portal%2fPortalPathTest” but nothing works.
·         lsinventory shows the patch got applied successfully.
One thing to notice -
1.       Login url is: "http://machinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome&startPage=1"
2.       After login, browser URL gets changed to "http://http://scoreboard-sit.wellsfargo.com:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehomemachinename:9704/analytics/saw.dll?bieehome" and shows Home Page instead of default dashboard.
3.       Now at this stage, if I append "&startPage=1" to the above step 2 URL in browser, it automatically navigates to correct default dashboard.
Also, This patch has fixed default dashboard in Act As. That means, If I act as a User, I land on correct default dashboard. But if same user actually logs in, s/he lands on home page.
I suspect if URL redirection after login is the actual issue. Please suggest if anyone has an idea.
Thanks,
Akshat

I think this was the issue -
There was a java script error related to an undefined object, "accessMode" in logon.js. This is related to Accessibility or Section 508 (checked by Developer Tools of IE). We may have removed this code from the logon page which was causing the error. We had customized the page quite a bit previously. When I ignore the error and step through, I go to the correct portal path page. So we are going to replace the logon.js file with backup and hopefully it will fix the issue.
Cheers!

Print Screen not working for user but working for Administrator

Satellite A100 Laptop Print Screen Not working for USER but is working for Administrator[ New ]
09-14-2009 11:25 AM
Hi I am new to this forum and am asking for your help. We are sharing a computer, the PrtSc key is working for the Administrator but not when we switch users. We have tried everything that we can think of: From opening a the page(S) we want to paste to not opening the pages. My most common usage is to PrtSc and paste it into an email , but barring that we have tried opening a page in notes, documents, word etc . Nothing seems to work. I do not get an error message , it just won't paste. Since we are not computer literate we are hoping you can help us with a solution . Thanks in Advance .

Jerry, that post you just answered was from nearly 4 1/2 years ago! And that's the last time the OP was here.

MySite – My Content Page is not working and giving error for existing customers

We are using SharePoint 2010 and recently moved to SharePoint 2013. Central Admin run under SP 2013 and Content Db Front End run under SP 2010.
After migration the MySite – My Content Page is not working and giving error for existing customers (http://mysite.ss.com/_layouts/MySite.aspx?Error=4705).
New users (after migration) are able access the My Content and adding documents but old users can’t.
Can anyone help me on the above?

I think you might be using non claims web app in 2010, if that is the case, you 'd need to convert your existing users to claims users for which you can refer to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg251985(v=office.15).aspx
to check if your exisiting users are claims or classic users , try
get-spuser -web http://mysite.ss.com -limit all
check in the output if you see the claims GUID in form of user names like i:0#.w|domain\username, if yes, they claims users if you just see Domain\username, you want those users to be converted to calims.
i'd need more details to be specific about my answer but aforementioned scenario is most common of all, hope this helps,
Thanks, Noddy

Hi-
The last time I saw a similar problem to yours, he was also running Panther. I advised reinstalling the 10.3.9 combo update, and his woes were gone.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
Another thought is to check System Preferences/CD's & DVD'S, and check your selection nuder "When you insert a blank CD" (or DVD).
Running Disk Utility from the install disk, and repairing permissions is also another possible fix.

Aluminum Wireless Keyboard not working properly after Firmware update 1.1

Hi,
Well, as the subject says, my keyboard is not working properly after I updated the firmware. The problem is that several keys (delete, down arrow, brackets and apostrophe) stopped working right after I installed the update. I never dropped it or hit it. And I did not stop or interrupt or did anything during the install. I take very good care of it.
I have already tried toubleshooting with the support page, restarting the iMac, taking off the batteries, setting it up with bluetooth again, going back a week with time machine and to reinstall the firmware. So, if you have something new for me to try, I will really apreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Franco.

I have 24" iMac with the Apple wireless M&KB - I know this is basic but have you tried a fresh set of batteries? My KB will refuse to establish connection when batteries are on the weak side the firmware update may just be a co incidents. If your wireless mouse is working OK then I would guess the blue tooth is functioning.
Not sure about the 10.49 download - are your other file downloads completing properly? Are there any error messages?

Yes my particular issue is not like yours. However, there have been many other laptop users experiencing similar problem to yours after 3.10 kernel. Mostly it seems to be bumblebee users that experience your problem with the blank screen. We do know that nvidia have yet to make their official drivers work with kernel 3.10 and up. The drivers in the Arch repository have been patched to work with 3.10. From what I have seen, this also only seem to be affecting laptops with newer nvidia gpu's. I fear there is not much to do with this problem until nvidia give official 3.10 kernel support.
My suggestion would be to stick with 3.9.9 kernel and the drivers that work with it, and don't upgrade those packages until nvidia has addressed these issues. If you have a look at the nvidia forums you will see quite a number of topics mentioning black screen when starting x on 3.10 kernel, and also a thread for the system dying. Reading some of the threads there may help you keep up to date on whether or not the issue seem to be solved.

Drag and Drop not working since last software update

Drag and Drop not working since last software update - this is occuring on Outlook for the mac and I just tried moving an icon on the doc and the same thing occured. YOu can drag but the items will not drop.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.
