Recommendations for 3rd party internal RAID

I have an octo 2.26GHz mac pro.
Interested to hear from anyone who has purchased a 3rd party RAID controller which would satisfy my reqs:
support OS X & Windows -- doesnt need to be at the same time -- so long as I can restripe that's ok.
OS X needs to be SL.
Windows needs to be Server 2008
Onboard cache preferred.
Internal SATA connectors required (i.e. not SAS)
Must support AHCI, NCQ
Must not require BIOS for setup (since the mac doesn't have a BIOS).
Any experience RAID 0 with SSD's preferred., e.g. how many & what read/write/latency are you getting.
TIA

Some people have been happy running 2008 in Fusion, even multiple VMs.
Unless you really need hardware RAID5, you can have and use 5 internal drives, and there are some fine external RAID controllers.
Take a look at the multitude of reviews on AMUG.com

  • Recommendations for 3rd party AC adapters?

    In the year that we've had this powerbook we've gone through 2 Apple brand AC adapters (one broke where the cord meets the brick - smoking! and the other one broke where the cord meets the notebook - sparking!) and we bought a 3rd party replacement from Other World Computing only to have the little pin fall off into the computer's charger port. Twice.
    So I'm looking for a well-made (above all else) but hopefully cost effective 3rd party replacement adapter. Recommend away!

    Hi,
    I got a the MCE PORTABLE AC POWER ADAPTER FOR POWERBOOK G4 in december to use with my 15" g4 1.67. Works great except for no color ring indicating charging it is white though, which matches the original color scheme and for $40 from clubmac.com, it proved to be one of the better deals around at the time I think.
    Good Luck!

  • 3rd Party SATA raid cards for internal drives?

    All --
    Apart from the discussion as to if RAID actually benefits a home desktop system, I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
    My Mac Pro is still slated to be built at Apple and for now I have the minimum memory and HD spec being requested at Apple, with the plan to upgrade the memory and drives from OWC or another vendor.
    I've toyed with the idea of utilizing Disk Utility's software RAID features (e.g. RAID 0 for scratch disks, RAID 1 for boot, RAID 0+1 for all else.) I've also toyed with the notion of searching for a hardware raid solution which would allow me to transfer the internal SATA cable runs from the motherboard to a host adapter card for an internal multi-channel experience (with options to create and break mirrors to external devices for backup purposes.)
    So....
    Has anyone experience or utilized 3rd party hardware raid controllers which can connect to the internal HD bays? Are there limitations to this (ie, does the boot drive HAVE to reside off the internal motherboard controllers, or can an internal hardware controller successfully boot the system) of which ought be noted?
    Finally, in the event that a host adapter card cannot drive the interna bays, can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?

    I am wondering if anyone has the lowdown on using 3rd party SATA raid cards to support the INTERNAL hard drives on the Mac Pro series?
    There are many 3rd party controllers that support the internal HDs if an internal iPass connector is used. The problem is that some are bootable but most are not.
    The Areca ARC-1680ix-12 and the HighPoint RocketRAID 4320 are bootable. However, the system cannot be installed via the Apple DVD. Instead the user needs to clone a boot drive with the proper drivers to the boot volume on the controller and then boot from the 3rd party controller.
    The other issue I found is that these controllers do not support Boot Camp. If Boot Camp is desired, my recommendation would be to leave the internal HDs on the Mac Pro internal bus intact and use the 3rd party controller for external storage. This method provides four internal bays that are bootable, support Boot Camp and can be used for system backups. I use the 3rd party controller for external storage for large RAID sets and hot swapping hard disks.
    With the internal bays intact and external hot swap RAID storage available the user can support Boot Camp, multiple system volumes and large external RAID sets. From my experience using a 3rd party controller with the internal HD bays always has some limitations. The user usually does not realize it unit later when Boot Camp does not work or the computer fails on a system upgrade or the controller does not work at all with a new version of Mac OS X.
    Staying with the standard internal Mac Pro bay configuration will be the best configuration to avoid compatibility issues with future versions of Mac OS X. It is rumored that the new Snow Leopard may require 64-bit drivers. If that is the case, I would expect most if not all existing 3rd party controller drivers to fail. Some drivers will be upgraded after a few months while others may not. Having the internal Mac Pro SATA controller intact should at least allow the Mac Pro to boot if my guess about compatibility issues is correct.
    can anyone give feedback to hardware SATA cards to power external drive bays with support for Disk Utility (to allow RAID1 pairings of internal drives to external snapshot-backup drives)?
    There are a large number of external controllers that work with Disk Utility. Here are some of my favorites.

  • Procedure for 3rd Party

    Dear Experts,
    We have some 3rd party vendor from where we purchase FG. And the transaction is like that we give PO to 3rd party. They pack the material as per our BOM provide in mail. Then they supply the material at our stock point and our stock point do the GRN. but in this case we are unable to track the BOM of some products as no production order or SAP activity is done at third end. So kindly confirm me how we should maintain the BOM for 3rd party without plant code generation,
    Or else suggest me how to do this transaction in the best way so that at any time we can be able to trace that so as so batches was packed in so and so packing material.
    Regards,
    Phalgun Patel

    Phalgun,
    It is unclear to me why you need to 'plan' a BOM for the Vendor.  In standard 3rd party processing, all you do is place a PO with the vendor, and the Vendor delivers the product directly to your customer. Batch numbers used are created by the vendor, according to the terms of your contract.  You are unconcerned how he internally plans his order, and he never actually sends his output to you.   He is solely responsible for procuring any RM or services required to fill your PO, and for fulfilling any batching and traceability requirements contained in the contract.  Any Doc you send to him about BOM is not for you to use for planning purposes, it is part of the contract specifications.
    So, can you be a little more specific exactly why the vendor is delivering material to you, and why you need a BOM.
    Best Regards,
    DB49

  • Returns procees for 3rd party

    Hi Guru's
    Please let me know what is the Return process for 3rd party order
    Thanks in advance
    Mastan

    Dear Mastan,
    quite generally, you can book the reurned goods as you want (to your vendor or to your company). There is no standard process from SAP side here.
    Concerning creation of invoice, it depends on your Customizing setting for the item category (transaction VOV7). If the billing relevance is 'F' (recommended for the third-party), then you cannot create the invoice without incoming invoice. If you have another billing relevance (for example , 'B' according to order quantity), then you can create invoice without incoming invoice. Moreover, in case of 'B' you can create the invoice immediately after creation of the order. It is independent on return.
    As I have already said, there are no standard rules for this process at SAP. And the whole process is not supported at all. Therefore you have always to decide by yourself, what would be reasonable for your business. There are no guidelines from SAP side here.
    I hope, this info helps you a little bit further.
    Kind regards,

  • ATP for 'Stock in transit' for 3rd Party scenario

    We have a scenario:
    For warehouse replenishments an STO is created and then a delivery is subsequently created for the STO. Once the delivery has been shipped out of the manufacturing facility (post goods issued) the materials on the delivery are transferred from unrestricted-stock at the manufacturing facility to stock-in-transit at the receiving warehouse. Once the stock is in transit to the third-party warehouses, ATP should then take it into consideration when deliveries are created from the third-party warehouses to customers.
    Now how to take the ATP check for 3rd party del. into consideration for STO?
    STO document type is UD
    Goods issue movement type is 641
    Goods receipt movement type is 101

    Some useful info here..

  • BRFPlus - license with NW fundation for 3rd party - SAP PO applies ?

    Hi,
    I got the impression that in order to use BRFPlus we need to have SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party,
    does anyone know, if we have SAP PO (process orchestration) which has a restricted SAP NW fundation license for 3rd party
    (to be used only with BPM, PI and BRM), can we use BRFPlus from PI ?
    Thank you for any comments,
    Regards,
    Michal Krawczyk

    Hi Michal,
    no idea about the licensing question, but I think you need an additional license due to the Java stack, but this has to be answered by an expert of SAP.
    Concerning the usage of BRFplus from PI: The only way I know to use the BRFplus functions from PI is via webservices generated out of the functions.
    The other way round is a little more comfortable as you can use the BRMS Connector expression.

  • Code Signing for 3rd Party DLLs in MPR certfication

    Dear Team,
    I am currently performing MPR test with my Web Application using Windows Server 2012 R2 platform.
    While verifiying test results, i got failed in the validating digital signature for 3rd party binaries(DLL).
    The DLLs are Ajaxcontroltoolkit.dll, interop.Excel.dll etc.,
    Whether Signed DLLs are exists for Ajax Libraries?? If Signed DLLs exists for Ajax Libraries, is it advisable to request Microsoft support team for getting Signed DLL through mail? (or)
    Can i include this point as a waiver in document during test results submission??
    Regarding Interop DLL's is it advisable to include DLL's in waiver request document??
    Kindly review and suggest comments

    Hello,
    When an MPR Test fails due only to 3rd party binaries, please create a Test Results Package, upload to MPR site, complete and send a waiver for review.
    List all failing binaries in the waiver, grouping by their respective owner.
    Thank you,

    wht is Process Flow for 3rd Party Sales

    Customize the third party sales in summary:
    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
    3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
    4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background 
    5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
    6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO 
    7. Goods receipt MIGO 
    8. Goods issue
    9. The item cat TAS or Schedule line cat CS is not relevant for delivery which is evident from the config and,   therefore, there is no delivery process attached in the whole process of Third party sales.

  • End to End Monitoring confiuguration for 3rd party systems

    Hi,
    I have been trying to racking up materials for end-end configurations for 3rd party systems and can't find any..All the ABAP  systems are perfectly configured in our End-End Monitoring system but can't find any of the third party systems..Is there a seperate method to configure 3rd party systems?
    -Teresa

    Hi Teresa,
    You can't include 'Third Party' systems in end-to-end monitoring. We had raised a SAP note for the same and below is SAP response..
    "End-to-end monitoring stands for the functionality included as of 6.40 that enables you to track XI messages accross several systems. This functionality can be configured for all components that are able
    to contribute information to this process monitoring, i.e. only SAP systems can be configuered."
    Also check this from online help..
    "The Runtime Workbench receives the data for end-to-end monitoring from the Process Monitoring Infrastructure (PMI), which is an SAP monitoring tool for monitoring end-to-end technical processes involving multiple SAP components."

  • Moving average update for 3rd Party sales order

    Hello All,
    We have configured a 3rd party sales order process. The schedule line category is configured with account assignment categoory as "M". when we are creating GR the Moving average price of the material is not getting updated.
    But if i replace with "E" it is getting updated, but the CO-PA is not getting generated for Profitability segment reporting.--we need profitability segment reportng.
    Can some one tell me how we can update the moving average price using acc. asssignment category type "M" at the same time the Profitability segement information is updated.
    THanks in advance
    Appreciate your help
    Arpita Rani

    Hello Arpita
    For 3rd party orders functionality you need to use account assignment category of X and not M. E and M are for individual Purchase orders. You should not use them for 3rd party.
    Please see the following OSS notes  and follow along:
    210997 - Accnt assignment categories in third-party and indiv.PO
    550388 - FAQ: Customizing of third-party and individual POs

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...

  • "Software Update" for 3rd Party Apps?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know of an application that could act like Software Update for 3rd party programs, so that a list of updatable applications shows and you can select to download them all at once?
    I know some do an update check on launch, but I was just wondering if there was a more convenient way?
    Thanks,

    Yes, but no. App Update is a widget that will check for updated versions of your apps. It can be found at http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/appupdate.html. Unfortunately, it won't install them for you, but will give you links to websites where you can download the newest version. I use it and like it. Give it a try!
