Reboot a remote cRIO lost in MAX

Hi,
I am working with a cRIO 9014 that is far away from my office and inaccessible during the winter. I was testing a program that transfers files from cRIO to Host PC using TCP network connection and I definitively lost contact with the cRIO. I can ping it and look at the files on its "ftp://" but it always appeared disconnected in MAX and when I tried to reboot it from the project explorer, I get a message saying that the cRIO may be offline or unresponsive. Briefly, the cRIO is still on my network but doesn't respond to LabView and MAX.
I am sure that my program in causing this problem and my question is that : is there any way to reboot this remote cRIO without doing it manually? I tried to use the "RT Restart (IP).vi" but I always get error 56 (time out) TCP Open Connection.
The cRIO is connected to an ethernet switch and has a static IP address. Is it possible to regain control if I restart the switch or doing this will make the situation worse ? (this was just a thought).
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Vakpo,
I am afraid to say you may be out of luck. One thing you may want to try is to add the controller in MAX using the IP address. If you right click Remote Systems, click Create New>>Remote Device and enter the IP address. If this does not work, you will have to manually reboot the controller.
One suggestion for the future is to implement a watchdog that will automatically reboot the controller
Here is some more information on setting up the watchdog:

Real-time 8.6 Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses- with no connections

I've been using the remote panel right along with no problems to connect to my Compact Fieldpoint. This morning I accidently opened the connection twice on the same computer and tripped the "Remote panel connection exceeds max number of licenses" error. Now it will not let me connect anymore from my computer. I've tried clearing cookies, cache and history in Internet Explorer and rebooting my computer. I've fired up the Remote Panel Connection Manager which shows no connections, and the NI License Information window does not show any connections which have been denied due to max # of clients being exceeded. Is there a way to reset this without having to reboot my RT controller? I'm running RT8.6 and LV 8.6 Full Dev System and understanding that it should come with 1 remote panel license.
Thanks

The boss wanted to see an updated feature, so I was forced to deploy a new version and reboot. Problem went away as I suspected it would.
I did manage to make the same mistake again this morning (launch the remote panel in 2 different MSIE windows) and after closing them both I could reconnect. Must be a glitch or a bug? It'd be interesting to see if anyone else has this problem. For now...solved, but it would be nice to see a way to fix this without rebooting.

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How Cam I Reboot a Remote Mac

ARD is unable to restart a Mac on a remote network (Choose "Restart..." from Manage menu in ARD, select Mac on remote network. Result: Task fails).
Does anyone know a workaround? Unix command (e.g., reboot) perhaps?

Remote Mac was going "offline" (as reported by ARD) way too regularly. Kept thinking it had "hung" or crashed. Wanted to reboot the remote Mac without human intervention on the other end (several time zones away). That was the impetus behind my original post.
In the latest "hang" or "crash," I had someone reboot the remote Mac by hand. Press/hold the power button until shutdown, wait a minute, then press the power button momentarily to restart. Only this time, the remote Mac never came back online (or "available" as reported by ARD; kept reporting the remote Mac as "offline" instead). Began to suspect a hardware problem or worse (infection/etc.). Had the unit shipped back to me.
The "remote" Mac booted headless on my local network without a problem, but then went "offline" (as reported by ARD) within 10 minutes. Hooked up a keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Mac still boots normally, but the Network pane of System Preferences indicates that the ethernet cable is unplugged. It isn't.
99.9% sure this is a hardware issue now, specifically a bad ethernet port.
Off to the Apple Store I go for repairs.
Thanks again Tony for all the suggestions.

[cRIO] Connection to MAX

Everytime I connect cRIO to my laptop, MAX cannot communicate with it until I restart the laptop.
Is there a solution to this?
What I do:
1) My laptop is on.
2) I connect an ethernet crossover cable to the laptop
3) I power up cRIO
4) I open MAX. cRIO is listed as detected, but when I click on Advanced Ethernet settings, I get a time out (56) error.
4a) It does not matter if I get the RESET button of cRIO or hit Refresh in MAX
5) I restart the laptop while leaving cRIO connected and powered.
6) I open MAX again. This time cRIO is detected and there is no time out error.
- Thanks

At the moment I don't have another computer or router to try (3) and (4).
I tried this:
1) Power on cRIO
2) Connect the crossover cable to laptop while the laptop is off
3) Power on the laptop and open MAX
4) MAX shows that cRIO is connected and running, but when I click on Advanced Ethernet Settings, it times-out (56)
5) I toggle the IP Reset switch on the chassis and hit Reset on the chassis.
6) MAX detects cRIO and shows that it is unconfigured.
7) I use the suggested values, where the gateway values are left blank.
8) Once I applied the values, MAX reboots cRIO.
9) The result of Step 4 is shown again.
10) I restart the laptop with everything else still connected.
11) MAX shows that cRIO is connected and Advanced Ethernet Settings is responsive.
When I was setting up the cRIO for the first time, I couldn't get it to work because of the time-out error (56).
I couldn't download any software to cRIO. Then I got the experience that restarting the laptop 'fixes' that
problem.
Also, when MAX says that cRIO is 'Running', the vi doesn't seem to be running. How do I compile or load the
vi so that cRIO could run it autonomously when I hit reset?
- Thank you

Server 4: Cannot connect to remote server: "lost contact with the AuthService"

Attempting to upgrade to Server 4; have Server 4 app on my local Mac to administer a remote Mac mini running Server 4. Server app 4 on the mini connects to itself; however, I cannot user Server app 4 on my local Mac to connect remotely to the mini.

Help! PowerBook G4 failed, rebooted but I have lost all my iTunes files!

Hi there,
Please help!
I have an old PowerBook G4. I dropped it this morning by accident and it stopped working. I got it to switch on again and got to the Darwin/BSD page. I followed the advice below:
Start up in Single User Mode and type carefully:
/sbin/fsck -y
Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then:
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db/netinfo
mv local.nidb/ local.nidb.bad
ls -ln /Users
This last command will give you one line for each user, plus one for the "Shared" directory, which doesn't interest us. Each user will have a line like one of these:
drwxr-xr-x 29 501 501 986 Jan 17 18:38 michaelc
drwxr-xr-x 14 520 20 476 Sep 10 2004 jdoeThe second numeric field (501, 520) is the user ID (UID) and you need to list the uids against the shortname s given in the final column. Make sure you get the name right for UID 501! Then continue with
reboot
I had to add new details once it had rebooted and it looks like i's created a new profile. I have the files that were on the HD (photos - phew) but all my music files have gone.
Any idea how to get them back please?
Thanks sooo much for your help!

Download a copy of EasyFind (free) and use it to search. It would be really unusual for a folder to go missing so selectively while everything else survived on a drive. Dropping a drive doesn't shake files loose. You posted a lot of instructions somebody had provided but how much of that did you actually need to do?
[Link to EasyFind download|http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/11076/easyfind]
It is possible you had some sort of directory damage and the files still exist on the drive but the computer has lost track of them. Try file recovery software.
*File Recovery*
General reading on this topic - [http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/datarecovery.html]
Easiest method: If you dragged these to the trash did you empty the trash? If not simply double click on it to open it and drag the file out again.
Next easiest method: Copy the file off a backup drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as [Data Rescue 3|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1]. Both have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.
It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
There is also this free tool which supposedly runs on OSX and does recovery of popular media and Office files. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Download I have not run it and have no idea about its functionality. It is a command line program and so is not as user friendly as Mac users might wish. [http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27683/testdisk]
[Baby Boomer's post on file recovery utilities|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10270140#10270140 ] - note, most of these free demos only tell you if they can recover a file and don't actually recover any files for free.
If you manage to rescue the files you should seriously consider getting a backup drive. A $100 drive will cost less than replacing a substantial iTunes library since Apple does not provide for a second download for free.

MBA won't reboot from remote disk to reach Disk Utility and repair the disk

After a routine disk repair session, it advised me that I need to repair the disk on my MBA. A few months ago it was the same, and I did it quite successfully without any problems, according to instructions: inserted the MacOS 10.6 DVD into the iMac optical drive, launched Remote Install OS, and so on. However, now my MacBook Air refuses to boot from the remote disk, so that I can reach the Disk Utility and proceed to repair disk. It sees the remote DVD Installer disk, I connect to my home WiFi, and I choose reboot from the Install DVD disk. An Apple logo appears on a grey screen with a small globe spinning below, but after a some lengthy minutes it always reboots normally!!! It seems I tried everything many times to no avail.
Any solutions???

Nope. Waiting for 10.6.4 update, which is hopefully next week and may change the situation for better.

How to force reboot SPA122 remotely

Hello, a remote field tech is probably tired of playing johny-jumpup to physically reset ata's.
I want to spare the poor fellow, (and myself), but their seems to be no documentation on how to power cycle an SPA122 remotely.
How might one go about this from the web interface?
These things seem to have issues and I want to have a way to conviently reboot it.

As Robert said, it's in the web interface: Administration -> Reboot.
Alternatively, you can use this command line rebooter, which you could even schedule if you see necessary: http://www.freymond.ca/SPA112/

How to wipe iphone clean remotely if lost/stolen?

How do you wipe (destroy) all content on your iphone if it is lost/stolen? I haven't lost my iphone, but I want to know how if it is lost or stolen.
I know this is possible because I watched the keynote address of Steve Jobs and he explained that since the iphone has the capabilities of syncing with your computer remotely, you have the power to completely wipe your iphone clean if it is lost/stolen, yet I have not seen any information anywhere on how to do this. Obviously I can't plug it into my computer to wipe it clean if it is lost/stolen, so how do you do it remotely?

Just restore the phone in iTunes and set it up as a new phone.
is there any way to keep the apps I have bought on there?
They will sync back as they are store in iTunes.

Problems connecting to cRIO-9024 in MAX

Hello,
I can't see my cRIO in MAX. I have followed instructions on other guides but to no avail. I am using windows 7, LabVIEW 2012, MAX 5.5, I have to latest NI-RIO installed (NI-RIO 13). The cRIO has the correct setup, the status light is flashing 3 times etc.
It is probable something very small and basic that I have missed, any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I have both of those installed, and I jave RT and FPGA installed also.
I have reinstalled RIO just now to ensure that it was the last instulation and that all drivers were connecting but it still is not showing up.

Help, when connecting to xserve with remote desktop, lost menu bar

Here is my situation, I have an xserve running 10.5.5, this weekend the server rebooted itself and when it came back up LDAP was not running and had to be restarted. I fixed that problem but now whenever I connect to the server using remote desktop, the menu bar is missing and I cannot open any applications. The server is not located here and can not be rebooted unless absolutely necessary. Is there a way to fix this problem by SSH in the terminal? Sorry if this doesnt make too much sense I am relatively new to mac servers. Thanks in advance

I think your priorities should be first, to get the server on a decent & properly-rated UPS !
If it restarted (undesirably) for a reason other than a power outage/issue, that should get addressed promptly.
Since you have ssh access (hopefully very well secured), I'd suggest you run use diskutil to verify the system-volume as well as run a permissions repair, and then set aside the Preferences folder for your account (whichever one you try to use for ARD),
and you can kickstart the ARD client.

Random Reboot during Remote Session 1074

I was having issues and had to RDP into one of our servers. During the chaos I grabbed my laptop and ran out onto the production floor while my PC was still connected to the server. I eventually resolved the issue an hour later but for some reason I get
a call from my manager saying the server was rebooted. I checked the logs and winlogon.exe initiated a restart then three seconds later explorer.exe initiated a restart. Both Event ID's are 1074. Not sure what caused the restart but I know I didn't hit restart.
If I would have I would have stopped as soon as it asked for a reason. Any way to find out what could have caused it. The reboot happened under the local account I was logged into at the time. I'm not going to get in trouble over this but would like to be
able to show what actually happened. I don't want my team thinking I would just reboot a server for no reason.

Hi Joseph,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
In your case, it might happens that domain\admin account which is causing the restart of server. You can try to reset\change the password and then check that whether still facing the same issue.
Please go through beneath thread for information.
