RAID admin software not fixed by Quicktime 7.12

Hi
I too have had the RAID admin software not launch recently and all evidence points to recent Quicktime updates as discussed by others.
The latest quicktime update does not resolve this!
So in interests of a workaround I have written a small app which uses a terminal command listed in the thread-
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1553067
This app relies on the fact that the RAID admin file is resident in /Applications/Utilities/Xserve\ RAID\ Update/
If the admin app is not here the launcher will not work!
I have tested this on Panther 10.3.9 Server
Drop me a line at edadams70 at gmail.com to get this launcher
Regards
Ed

can you share the app with us?
I'm on quicktime 7.1.2 and it ***** cause there is no reinstall for it. Just tomorrow i'm receiving a second 14 disk rack and i'll be damned if i can't configure it.
APPLE GET TO WORK! Release QT uninstall!

  • RAID Admin Issues - not connecting

    I installed my first Xserve yesterday. When I open the RAID admin and attempt to connect, all it says is gathering info... with a status wheel and it doesn't go any further. I can let it sit there all day and it doesn't say anything but that. ANy thoughts?

    Hi
    Are you sure you're using the correct application? RAID Admin was intended for use with Apple's XServe RAID:
    http://www.apple.com/support/xserveraid/
    Perhaps you mean RAID Utility? Launching it should show you information regarding the Apple RAID Card:

  • RAID Utility software not available in OS X Mavericks?

    Up till yesterday I have been using a RAID card in my Mac Pro (Mid 2010, 4 x 1 TB SATA, initially as RAID-5, now in a RAID-10 setup) under OS X 10.8.5 without any issues, and the RAID utility allowed me to check the status od me disks, event log, and the battery status / refresh cycles for the RAID card. Last night now I upgraded to OS X Mavericks. The upgrade went well, things appear to work OK, obviously at least half of my RAID-10 array is in use — however, I can't find the RAID utility, check the status of the RAID-10 system and the battery status of the RAID card. The disk utility shows the RAID set - but none of the underlying features (individual disks and their status, logs, battery) — am I thrown back to a soft RAID, and my investment into a RAID card has evaporated?

    Thanks a lot, Seliqui! the reason why I did not find it is that a) after the upgrade to Mavericks, the icon that I previously had parked in the dock no longer worked, and b) the new location for the utility can't be found anywhere on the Launchpad. I suspect both effects are an indication that they missed to add the new directory to the command path. I can hardly imagine that this was deliberate because if you have a RAID card you definitely want to have access to that utility — not just in case of a disk failure (I have had a couple of these!), but also in order to stop the user from doing things one is not supposed to do while the battery is reconditioning.

  • 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.

  • RAID ADMIN CONFIGURATION RESETS AFTER LAUNCH

    Hi everyybody,
    The RaidAdmin configuration resets after starting the computer, I have always to reconfigure it every time I start the compute.
    Thanks in advance.

    If you are talking about LUN masking settings, that I have seen before but not due to machine restart. but simply for certain release of RAID ADMIN, the feature has some bug such that the effects did not 'stick'.
    Other then that I have not seen RAID ADMIN settings not stick across reboot.
    You may go to Disk Utility to make sure that you have verify and repair any potential permissions issues on the primary application disk volume.

  • RAID Admin reality check -- this software needs serious work

    Folks: This is a combination rant about RAID Admin 1.5 (on OSX 10.3.9) and plea for any suggestions for things I may have missed.
    RAID Admin -- an utterly crucial tool for responsibly administering an X Serve RAID, itself offered for use in mission critical applications. But RAID Admin is just one frustration after another.
    1. Can't start due to broken Java or somesuch. As reported by several others elsewhere, and experienced herre, some QT upgrade breaks ability to launch RA. Thee's a "solution" of rolling back QT -- doesn't work. There's a command-line workaround for launching, but if this is really broken Java, how can you trust other functions of RA? Anyhow, we're running it from console of X Server with non-recent-QT.
    2. Finding the RAID Array is totally hit or miss. (And BTW -- don't get hosed by the little feature that it's not sufficient to have the RAID hooked up by fiber... you also have to have the ethernet cables connected). Sometines RA finds the nearby RAIDs by itself, sometimes it finds one of two, sometimes none... figure on entering the IP addresses by hand.
    3. Serious memory leak. Leave RA running for a few hours and it ***** up >100% CPU (on dual G4), huge amount of memory, and is almost completely unresponsive (apparently due to huge disk activity to swap virtual memory). Example: after 12 hours uses 372 Meg of real memory and 1.3 G of VM. Quit and restart fixes the problem... but do you really want to do that in midst of lengthy admin operation?
    4. Array Conditioning: Seems like a great idea -- but how can you tell whether it's doing anything useful? It generates errors to the event window showing bad blocks.... OK great... what do they mean? Is it fixing them? Where is its output? Maybe we could learn that from the docs....
    5. Oh right... no docs. Still stuck on RA 1.2 docs. No mention of Array Conditioning found anywhere in Help, or at apple.com... except to advertise that the feature exists.
    Graham

    William, thanks for your response, comments inline below:
    I have not personally experienced any of the first 3
    issues you note. And I've run RAID Admin on 30-40
    different systems, and monitored 100+ RAIDs, over the
    past 3 years.
    ... it is good to hear a general level of satisfaction...
    Are you experiencing this on just one system --
    have you ever tried another machine?
    What do you mean? We have one X Serve, and one RAID, and that's the one we need to admin. How would we introduce another machine into the scenario?
    I'd suggest that your Java installation has
    serious issues.
    Why would you suggest that? As I noted, the Java-suspected issue was not on the machine that I reported the rest of the problems on. It simple obliges us not to use RAID Admin remotely (and conveniently) since all the remote machines are up to date with updates including QT.
    Also note, it's impossible for RAID Admin to have a
    leak. Java has a garbage collector. Therefore, if
    there's a leak, it's a JVM problem, and not a RAID
    Admin problem.
    That line of argument would be correct if the leak was due to orphaned objects -- ie: objects no longer refered to and not garbage collected. There's nothing to stop a program in whatever language just consuming more and more memory because the programmer neglected to throw away unneeded objects.
    However, since posting, the Array Conditioning operation has completed, and I've noticed that the memory eating behavior has stopped. I've posted a correction on this.
    For #4 and #5, I'd suggest reading the Kbase article
    which details the updates and what they're good for:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302780
    Where on that page are you seeing info that addresses 4 and 5? This is in fact the one page I was refering to: it advertises the feature, but where are the docs?
    I'd suggest you figure out what's wrong
    with your Java installation.
    No reason to suspect Java on the server, where we are running RAID Admin.
    I posted some command-line options which will
    give diagnostic output in other threads,
    ... that could be useful, could you be more specific about where you posted them, and do they cover the result of Array Conditioning?
    Thanks again for your answers,
    Graham

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Drives say "not installed" in RAID Admin on lower controller

    hi all,
    I'm trying to re-establish connection to an Xserve RAID which has been in storage for some time. I can see all the drives and the RAID array and its data on the upper controller no problem (using RAID admin). However the three drives on the lower controller all show a red status light, and RAID Admin actually says "not installed" for each of the three drives.
    Its critical i get access to the data on these drives. Its very unlikely all three drives experienced a complete failure at the same time so don't even show up as inserted into the Xserve - does this sound like a faulty controller?
    what can i do to confirm the problem, and does anyone have any suggestions for resolving it wthin the Xserve RAID and/or otherwise getting access to the data?
    could I plug another empty drive i know is working into a spare bay on the lower controller and if it doesnt show up as present in RAID Admin assume that the controller is definately faulty?
    if the controller is faulty, is there any way of replacing the controller and installing the three discs and getting back access to them?
    I'm no Apple expert, any help appreciated.
    nathan

    Hello natrat22, and welcome to the AppleBoards,
    +if the controller is faulty, is there any way of replacing the controller and installing the three discs and getting back access to them?+
    If you want to test the controller the easiest way is to turn the unit off, unplug it, swap the controllers and start it up again. The fan, power and controller units are completely part swappable so that should be pretty easy.
    Check the Xserve RAID docs for more information: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/XserveRAID_UserGuide.PDF
    The general Xserve RAID area is here: http://www.apple.com/support/xserveraid/
    It might also help if you were describe the drive/RAID configuration you're trying to resurrect.
    Good luck,

  • 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.
