RAID Admin on laptop OK, but not G5

Been working to set up the RAID connected to a Quad G5. Mounted upper controller OK. Using the second ethernet port, RAID Admin never worked. Tried the laptop and there's the RAID. Managed to set up the array for the second controller. And now I'd like to get Array 2 mounted and have the RAID Admin on the Quad working. Any thoughts? Thanks.
Cliff

That worked! A couple of notes for anyone with the same problem:
I thought I'd be clever and create a new account before deleting the old one. That didn't work, as "Settings" kept insisting that the account had already been created. I had actually to delete the old account and create a new one from nada.
I was careful to write down all the settings parameters first. Even so, it took a few tries to get everything spelled right. Fortunately, "Settings" checked everything carefully and its messages pointed to the right places.
I still got the same error message the first time i relaunched Mail. However, this time I chose the "OK" option. Since then and thereafter it seems to be working.
Thanks for your help, lizdance40.

Xserve RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1 not quite working

I have an Xserve RAID that's currently at firmware 1.3.2/1.26a according to Xserve RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1. However, when I try to upgrade the firmware to 1.5.1 via the RAID Admin Tool 1.5.1, it just doesn't do anything--it accepts the .xfb file and then...nothing. Quitting out of the the Admin Tool and restarting still shows the firmware at 1.3.2/1.26a. Same thing if I shut down and restart the Xserve RAID from the RAID Admin tool. Any tips? There's nothing stored on the RAID system yet (the array hasn't even been created--it's a blank system) and nothing is attached to it either (I've just plugged in the ethernet links to format it first before I start attaching an Xserve G5 to it). Also, even though the lower controller is showing green and I have an ethernet cable plugged into it, I can't get any info out of it nor can I configure it with an IP address. Only the top controller seems to allow some configuration such as IP address.

Okay, I've solved the problem.
Basically, the issue was that the lower controller wasn't seated right despite it showing a green light in RAID Admin. When I went to visually inspect it, I noticed that despite what RAID Admin 1.5.1 claimed, its light wasn't even on, let alone green. And since the lower controller handles slots 8-14 of an Xserve RAID and my slots 8-14 are totally unpopulated (empty) at the moment, it was never noticed. Now that I've reseated the lower controller, everything is visually showing green across the board and the firmware upgrade is proceeding as expected and it has upgraded the firmware from 1.3.2/1.26a to 1.5.1/1.5.1c complete with autorestart of both upper and lower controller modules.
Basic lesson learned: RAID Admin lies. If possible, visually inspect the box itself!
Thanks to all who responded.

PC connect to admin console (port 7001) but not soa_server1 (port 8001)

Hello All,
I installed weblogic (11.1.1.4) and SOA suite on an Oracle Linux machine and I can access both the admin server and soa_server1 server from the host machine, but when trying to access from my PC I can only connect to the admin server on port 7001. The soa_server1 connection is refused from my PC.
Is there a setting I need in order to open up port 8001 to workstations other than the host machine?
Thanks,
John

OK, I already found the solution after reading the release notes for fusion middleware.
I has specified the "Listen Address" as the the server name. This restricted access to soa_server1 from the host machine. I fixed this my changing the "Listen Address" to a blank and re-starting soa_server1. Now I can access the SOA server from outside the host machine, as is required for PIP.

Crystal add on works for admin user on server but not regular user

Hi
The crystal add on has been installed and working for months. Another colleague was working with it, not sure what happened but it stopped working. I was able to re-register and get it working on a user's workstation using fat client. It is installed on the server. Some users user remote desktop to connect to the server.
If I login to the server as an admin user - i login to SAP as manager and can use the add on. Works fine.
If I login to the server as a regular user, login as manager into SAP, I get an installation error with the Crystal add on. Since it is already installed and working - why when i login to the same server as a different windows login but SAME manager SAP user - why would it not work?
I'm using crystal reports full version on the server because that is where I edit the reports.
The workstations have the runtime installed.
HELP!

hi
the error when I login as the user on the server is :
Add-on Crystal Reports for SAP Business One: Add-on %s - uninstall failed.
Which I don't understand at all b/c if I login on the same server as a different windows login
with admin rights it works fine.
What log file are you speaking of? I'm new to add on installs.
I don't even install SAP I work with crystal reports but got stuck dealing with this add on.
thanks!

Playing dvd's on my laptop works but not with the apple tv viewer. What's going on?

My macbook pro with retina display works great when viewing dvd's with a usb DVD drive. As soon as I connect to the Apple Tv viewer the screen goes grey on my lap top and on my tv. What's going on?

if it worked it would be breaking the law
dvd's and blueray for that matter have an encryption which airplay would have to remove for it to work and thats not legal
to do some people report that some version of the vlc player works with airplay but that would mean they break the encryption before displaying it on the mac screen and as such break the law

Raid Admin Cannot Find XRaid

I have a G4 XServe running 10.4.11 and an XRaid divided into 2 partitions, both raid 5. Recently the second partition disappeared. The problem is that Raid Admin 1.3.3 cannot find the raid. We are part of a large network, where none of the IT people speak Mac. I have found out that the Raid IP is a 169.254.x.x address and our XServe is on a different VLan and Subnet.
Question 1: I have one Cat 5 cable going to the top controller and a fixed IP for the correct VLan and Subnet, how do I change the IP on the XRaid without being able to see it in Raid Admin?
Question 2: Do I need a separate IP and connection to administer the bottom controller.

Hello, Dennis Goff, and welcome to the AppleBoards,
+Question 1: I have one Cat 5 cable going to the top controller and a fixed IP for the correct VLan and Subnet, how do I change the IP on the XRaid without being able to see it in Raid Admin?+
You can't. Without RAID Admin access your only control over the box comes from things like resetting and rebooting from scratch.
Can you clarify what you mean by "correct VLAN and subnet" here? Do you mean 169.254 or correct for your company's infrastructure?
You need a machine on the 169.254. IP range which is self assigned - essentially "no IP". The easiest way to do this is to attach a notebook set to DHCP directly to the RAID and it will self assign 169.254 as well and then the RAID Admin will be able to search and find it. Whatever IP range the ports are on you will need a machine that can speak to that IP range to communicate with it. The 169.254 range is not accessible from regular assigned IP ranges because it is reversed for special use. Note that the RAID Admin software is Java and will run on virtually anything and does not need to be on the Xserve.
+Question 2: Do I need a separate IP and connection to administer the bottom controller.+
No, a single ethernet connection is enough for complete RAID admin. The other ethernet light will be yellow in RAID Admin instead of green but if that doesn't bother you then don't bother.

Warning lights on XRAID but RAID Admin won't mount it.

I have 3 Final Cut edit suites sharing 2 x 7TB XserveRAIDs.
I had an audible alarm on one of my RAIDs an amber flashing light by the System Identifier Button.
Edit 2 started up fine and my editor was happily working away. I then went Edit 2 to mount the RAID storage - made up of 2 x 7TB XserveRAIDs each split into 2 partitions providing a total of 4 volumes creating my volume based SAN. As I tried to mount the RAIDs using SANmp I had real issues. Eventually got the volumes mounted but then had the greyed out screen of doom when I tried loading up a Final Cut Pro project and had to do a forced shut down.
Edit 2 was still working but I then had similar problems in Edit 1 - not able to mount partitions and unable to load projects.
I tried looking up the RAIDs on the RAID Admin Tool but I'm only seeing 1 RAID when I should be seeing 2. The AID that is mounted is not giving me any errors which makes me think I've lost communication with the RAID with the problem.
Should I just shut the whole system down and hope it starts talking to me again when I fire it up again?
I just want to get on an edit my show.
Thanks.

William: Thanks for your reply, but you seem to be wide of the target here.
RAID Admin can connect to the RAID,
but doesn't see drives?
No. I can run RAID Admin on the Xserve or on a separate laptop, and either way RAID Admin can't find any RAIDs to show in the list of available RAIDs. So it doesn't even get to the stage where it can see any individual drives, since it doesn't find the RAID unit in the first place.
The red light you're seeing, as well as the
fact that Disk Utility can see all the drives
as individuals,
Clarification: Disk Utility is showing symbols for drives, but of course these are really partitions of the RAID, not the individual physical hard drives in the RAID.
indicates that either stuff is set in JBOD mode
... well I'd love to report what mode it's in, but RAID Admin won't show me . However, judging by the fact that there's no part of the file system that's obviously missing, (and also by our original intent when this was set up) I'm 99.9% sure it's in some redundant mode, and 99.8% sure that is simply in default RAID-5 mode.
or something is seriously wrong...
... depending on the meaning of "seriously"!
I'd guess the RAID set (and any data that
was on it) is gone.
... though as I noted in original post, it's in everyday use, including by me, and I've not detected any missing data, aside from a handful of files (out of total approx 2 million files) that return read errors.

Raid Admin Not Connecting

I've left my comuputer and Xserve Raid running as advised, and went out of town for a week. It has been totally inactive. Today I opened Raid Admin and nothing happens. It doesn't search, there isn't a log etc. I added system and typed in the address, it searches but does not connect. However I am able to use Raid with FCP, and can open and play QT's that are on it as well as open other files. Should I just re-start the computer? It is connected with ethernet cable. Nothing has changed except the fact that I haven't touched anything in a week.

It doesn't have to be a G4 powerbook, it can be any Mac with RAID admin installed. I think the only reason he mentioned a powerbook was that most have their RAID connected in another location of the building and it is easier to access by walking down the hall with a laptop instead of lugging their desktop into the server room. Your current setup should work. Although you shouldn't have to ping the RAID because if you're on the same subnet, Raid Admin should find it automatically. If you have a router or switch or hub, maybe try to connect that between you and the RAID and see if Admin will pick it up. Then proceed to give it a static IP and you should be all set.

Raid Admin 1.5 - Recognize Array button not active

Hi all,
just updated to RaidAdmin 1.5, updated firmware on both controllers to 1.5 version.
I have 6 disks on which should be my lost array. Suddenly 'Recognize Array' button in utilities is not active.
Any idea?
Leos.

ok. The whole story:
Few month ago, I had RAID 3 schema on 6 disks. I did firmware update on my XRaid. This update WAS SUCCESSFUL. After XRaid restart, I lost my array. I didn't have backup. After unsuccessful local Apple support, I tried 3rd party companies to reascue my data. Noone helped me. I managed help from Apple in US, I sent my disks to them (quite expencive, I am from Czech Republic.). They recovered raid set on my disks to RAID 3 schema on 5 disks only - don't understand this. So I called them back a and I sent disks again, with detailed desription how it must be. Thay sayed OK and sent me back 6 disks, with no raid set schema - 6 unassigned to any array. And as a bonus, one of them was failed. So, now I have 6 disks, Apple claims, that raid schema is on disks (but i cannot see it on my raid - I realy tried everything - swapping possitions, controllers, cables .....). So when Raid Admin 1.5 brings this new function - recognize array, I started thinkink, that I have one more chance to recover my data back. But situation is as I described in first topic....

XServe, Raid Admin 1.5.1, failed drive not rebuilding

I am using XServe with Raid Admin v1.5.1. One of my drives failed in my RAID 5 array. I replaced it with a new one, but it is not rebuilding automatically. I rebooted and my lower controller is showing as having failed but the drive I am trying to rebuild is on the upper side. When I click on the drive I want to rebuild in the raid admin drive window, it says Warning unknown array, but the other two drives on either side show as Raid ok. Help!

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

Norton Toolbar 5.6 - Works on Laptop FF 4.0.1, but not Desktop FF 4.0.1

Norton Toolbar works on my laptop (HP Envy 17 - 3D), but not my desktop (Dell XPS 7100). Following are the basics of the operating environments and program versions.
Dell XPS 7100: AMD-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.5.0.125.
HP Envy 17 - 3D: i7-chip; Windows 7, Home Premium w/ Service Pack 1; FF 4.0.1; Norton Internet Security 2011, v. 18.6.0.29.
I have run liveupdate every few minutes, but still the Norton Toolbar is not updated. When I check add-ons Norton Toolbar 5.5 is disabled; but my laptop add-ons shows Norton Toolbar 5.6, and IdSafe and SafeWeb are definitely present and working on the laptop.

I had the same problem. Solved by downloading latest update from Symantec and letting updater run. This does not require an uninstall of the current version but may require a reboot.

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop

HP officejet Pro 8100 will print from an Iphone but not from my windows laptop. I get an error stating "unable to communicate with printer"

Hi Melatina66,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I understand that when trying to print from your laptop that you get a communication error message.
To better assist you, would you please provide some further information:
1)       How is the printer connected (USB cable, ethernet or wireless)?
2)      When you installed the printer on your laptop did you set it up with a USB cable? If yes, did you switch the connection type on the laptop from USB cable to ethernet/wireless?
3)      What version of Windows operating system are you running on the laptop (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, etc)?
4)      When printing from your iPhone are you using Apple's AirPrint or HP's ePrint app?
Thank you.

I have a Rocketfish mini display port to VGA adaptor cord for a macbook pro, it was working fine the first week, now it does not show what I am seeing on my laptop on my lg Flat screen tv. It only shows the space background but not any icons. Any help??

Is there anything I should do to the TV or any settings i should do from my actual Macbook? It only shows the space background but not any of my icons or what i am seeing on my laptop screen. It is a new adaptor which was purchased last week.

It seems as though though it may be a connection issue, possibly hardware or adapter. Make certain the connections are TIGHT.
For software you may try a smc reset:
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Try a pram reset:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Option, Command (⌘), P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on your Mac.
Immediately press and hold the Option-Command-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears. Continue holding the keys down until your Mac restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If no joy you can take it in to an Apple store genius bar for a free evaluation make an appointment first.
