Request for advice on best Network Architecture please

I have a first generation Time Capsule (-n), a first generation Airport Extreme Base Station (-n), an Airport Express (-g), and an ISP supplied cable modem/wireless router ("Netgear Cable Wireless Gateway") which has 4 ethernet ports.
I would be very grateful for advice on how best to configure a network(s) to suit the following needs with best achievable speed throughout please:
1) Internet access for n-capable 2010 iMac (wired is fine), together with Time Machine backup to Time Capsule.
2) Internet access for n-capable 2008 MacBook Pro (wired most of the time is fine, but occasional Wireless), together with Time Machine backup to Time Capsule.
3) Internet access for iPad 2 (Wireless)
4) Internet access for iPhone 4 (Wireless)
5) Internet access for iPhone 3G (Wireless)
6) Access for all the above devices to printer connectable by ethernet only (no integral WiFi)
7) Airplay access for all the above devices to iTunes library on iMac, to play through speakers connected to Airport Express (-g).
8) Ad hoc WiFi internet access (with password) to visiting -n and -g capable devices (laptops, smartphones etc.) to maximise network speed available to above devices (ie. I don't want visiting devices to slow down the network available to my devices, listed above).
9) Back to my Mac remote access to iMac/Network via the internet from MacBook Pro when I'm away.
Where possible, if I can use the devices I have to boost network strength throughout the house, this would be a bonus. Needless to say, I am keen to make my network as secure as possible, particularly the remote access aspect, so am happy to grant access to specific MAC addresses only.
The computers are running 10.7.2, the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 run iOS 5.0.1, the iPhone 3G runs the latest version of iOS 4. I have Airport Utility 5.5.3.
I am a complete beginner, and am new to terms like NAT, bridged etc., so please be gentle with me, and explain in the simplest possible terms, starting from the beginning! If you could detail where I physically need to connect devices with a cable or rely on a wireless connection, that would be a big help.
Thank you for taking the time to read this far! Looking forward to hearing from some of you networking gurus!
Best regards

oh, and I also have two LaCie NAT drives with ethernet connections which I'd like to be able to access from the iMac and the MacBook Pro...
Thanks!

Request for advice configuring/mounting XRAID

I'm asking for some advice about configuring Xserve RAID.
I am not an IT person, but just a researcher and have found
myself in charge of some computing resources.
We have an Xserve RAID - 14 drive, each set of 7 on RAID5 - connected
through fibre switch to an Xserve head node. (The fibre switch is
because we will probably add another Xserve RAID in future)
The intent for the RAID is to hold our data while we do our computations.
We have a small cluster of Xserve cluster nodes for distributed Xgrid and
Matlab computation. I intended to network mount the RAID on each computer
in cluster. All the users will ssh in to a shell, and none will login to
a desktop.
I have just begun to setup the RAID, but ran into some questions that
I thought I would ask for advice before I proceeded.
I have already striped both controllers together with software RAID.
(diskutil createRAID stripe "Journaled HFS+" "RAIDvol" disk2 disk3)
It created the stripe and created the jHFS+ file system, but I didn't
realize it would also mount it in /Volumes/RAIDvol
1. Do people have advice on whether I should keep this mount point?
I had rather thought I would mount in root (/) on head node and
cluster nodes, e.g. /RAIDvol instead of /Volumes/RAIDvol
(And how should I change the mount point? Evidently not through fstab
- should I use NetInfo(niutil) and is that complicated?)
Before I change it from mounting in /Volumes, are there any reasons not to?
(again, no one is going to see a desktop, everyone will ssh into a shell)
2. Should I have striped the disks together, or concatenated them?
(What's the difference? - any performance difference?)
3. Do people have advice on network mounting, AFP vs NFS? What
performance differences should I consider?
Thanks for everyone's help.

>1. Do people have advice on whether I should keep this mount point?
By default all external volumes will mount under /Volumes.
It is possible to change, but I'd leave it there, it's not worth the hassle trying to bury it somewhere else, and if no one's logging into the desktop then no one's going to notice it anyway. Since it's being shared to the other clients it can be mounted at any point outside of /Volumes, but I'd leave it in /Volumes on the head node.
Trying to change this will just run into problems later on when Apple change their model.
>2. Should I have striped the disks together, or concatenated them?
(What's the difference? - any performance difference?)
Striping is better than concatenation.
The difference is in how the volume is laid out, and specifically how the data is written to the volumes.
If you write a large contiguous file to a striped volume, a chunk of data (32K by default) is written to the first LUN (half of the array) then the second chunk us written to the second LUN). This alternating pattern gives you the best throughput since the RAID is effectively writing to al 14 disks at once, and can be flushing the buffers on the first 32K while the next 32K of data is being written to the other LUN.
By comparison, concatenation simply appends the second LUN. As you write your file it is all written to the first LUN and it's only when this LUN is full that you start writing to the second LUN. Therefore your throughput is much lower since you're only using half the disks at once.
Concatenation is easier to setup since some volume formats allow you to grow a volume by simply adding more space at the end, whereas slicing requires a reformat, but those are your choices.
>3. Do people have advice on network mounting, AFP vs NFS? What
performance differences should I consider?
Performance is one factor, security is another. NFS doesn't offer any significant security other than which IP addresses are allowed to mount the volume. AFP supports authentication to ensure that the specific user can mount the volume.
This may or may not be relevant to you depending on how the clients are mounting the volumes, and whether you want there to be any crossover between the clients. If they're being mounted at startup (so the volume is always available) I'd probably opt for NFS. Home directories, on the other hand, would be better served via AFP.
Performance wise NFS might have a slight edge, but I've heard others say AFP does, so YMMV.

Request for Advice re RAID Setup / Backup Options

I would be grateful for any comments on my RAID setup, or suggestions for improvement:
I have four LaCie Firewire drives. Each is 250 GB. Two are the Porsche design, and the other two are the ones designed to stack under (and resemble) the mac Mini. I'd like to not buy any additional storage hardware at this time.
I have two main needs for storage -- (1) my iTunes library, which is mostly Apple Lossless, and (2) backup of my PowerBook. These two needs presently take up about 300 GB.
Currently, all four hard drives are connected to a mac Mini. Both of the two pairs of hard drives is configured through OS X Disk Utility as RAID 0. Consequently, two fire wire drives of roughly 500 GB each show up on the mini's desktop. I mainly use the mini as a jukebox -- the video out connects to my TV, and the audio out connects to my receiver (through a buggy as he.ll M-Audio Transit, but that's another story). So the iTunes library for the mini lives on one of the RAID drives.
The other RAID drive serves as a backup. Using Silverkeeper, I incrementally backup the music library. Silverkeeper also backs up my PowerBook, when it is on the network.
Does this sound like the best way to go, if you accept that I don't want to get into a hardware RAID solution for now? Does OS X allow for software RAID 0+1? In other words, can I RAID the two pairs of drives independently as they are now, and then have them mirror each other? I'm not really worried about accidental file deletions and the like -- my biggest concern is one of these hard drives failing. If RAID 0+1 is available through software, is that advisable? Are there other alternatives I should be thinking about?
Any comments on this will be very helpful. Thanks in advance for your time.

Hi, PJP.
My take on RAID: Unless you're running a high-availability transaction server, IMO RAID is overkill for the home or SOHO (Small Office / Home Office) user. It's "cool" and has a certain amount of "geek" cachet, but as far as being practical for the average user, it adds an unnecessary level of complexity.
You may have specific reasons why you've decided to implement RAID, but from what you've described as what you're doing with your Macs, I don't really see the need for it.
Like you, I run backups to FireWire drives of all our Macs. I maintain at two current backups for each system, one backup per FireWire drive. This gives me the same kind of drive-failure protection for my backups without having to go the RAID route.
For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
Good luck!

Request for advice - problem networking mac mini without airport express

Hi - grateful for any help on this one.
I've just upgraded from an original (May '05) mac mini to a new 20" G5 (intel dual core) which I've set up on a wireless (airport express) network. The new machine and network are working fine but I've been trying to set up the old mac mini in a different room as a second machine for work and have been having problems.
The mac mini is the basic version without airport/bluetooth. After some mix up at the Apple Store over retro fitting an airport express the genius I spoke to recommended getting a D-link USB wireless adapter. I bought a D-link DWL-122 installed it (and after a crash course in the difference between WPA and WEP) got it running okay on the network. Unfortunately the D-link driver software appeared to wipe out the Spotlight index and stopped my HP printer being recognised. A couple of bulletin boards I googled suggested this was a common problem but I haven't been able to find any with a solution. In the end I had to wipe the hard drive and re-install from scratch to get the printer and spotlight working again.
So I have two questions: is there a way to make the D-link work (the d-link website has no faqs, update drivers or other info about Mac bugs) or, if not, then what should I buy instead to access my wireless network reliably? Would I be better getting something that plugged straight into the mac mini's ethernet port? If so, what? And grateful for any recommendations about which products and their software are most reliable.
Any advice gratefully received.
Thank you!
Chris

Hi,
You should of been able to use the Airport Express to solve the issue you are having. The Airport Express (small white brick shaped) is designed to work as a stand alone router or as a wireless extension to an existing wireless network.
So the setup would be from the mini as follows:
Mac Mini ---> Airport Express (AirPort Express Extends wireless connectivity) ---> Wireless Router (Airport Extreme, etc) ----> Cable/DSL Modem.
Hope that helps.

An Apology to SDN and a Request for Advice

After thinking about Mark Finnern's suggestion yesterday that I stop blogging so frequently, I realized that I had made an honest mistake about the way in which I was using the SDN blog area.
Let me try to explain how and why this mistake occurred.
First, it goes without saying that what SDN does well, it does extremely well. I have used the Expert Forums on several critical occasions in the past few months, and they function "above and beyong". I also keep a list of "good_sdn_links" when I see great guides and explanations in blog posts, so I don't have to bother searching for them later, and here again, SDN is doing its job extremely well.
But the fact that SDN does certain things very very well doesn't mean it is doing everything it should be doing.
What do I mean by this?
Well, many people here at SDN would agree with me that there are many things terribly wrong with the IT community today and inside the SAP community as well. Furthermoe, it's my opinion that SDN is doing nothing to try and change these things, when it in fact can and should be trying to change them.
So I decided to do my part as a "change agent" by posting a number of "perspective" posts which tried to communicate what I thought was wrong with IT and SAP today.
But here's where the mistake came in.
First, I figured from my read count that I must be doing something right, otherwise, why would my blog posts have @52,000 reads since 10/1/2006, or about 440 reads per calendar day?
Second, for all the criticism I received in personal emails about my blogs, I also received validation at SDN. Let me give you an example of this.
Two well-respected and long-time members of the SDN community indicated to me in personal emails that they had a lot of problems with my two long series of blogs on the WDA component WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS and how it could be very easily converted to do many other useful things.
But at the same time as I was receiving this criticsm , I responded to Thomas Szuecs in one of his threads and therefore took an opportunity to ask him if he knew the SAP developer of WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMETNS, and if so, to convey my gratitude to the developer of WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS for writing such a wonderful piece of code. He responded that he did know this developer and that this developer liked the series very much,
Third, I have received blog responses from several SDNers indicating that my "perspective posts" were registering with them. The one of these that I treasure most is from the SDNer who posted the following: "I like the way you put your finger where it hurts - keep it up."
So, you can see from the above three points how the mistake occurred - I figured that if I had 440 reads per day over four months, and if my technical posts were OK with key SAP developers, and if at least some readers were responding with indications that they understood what I was trying to do in my "perspective" posts, then I must be doing something right.
But if you've been following some recent conversations in this Forum, you'll realize that I was doing something quite wrong.
What I was doing wrong with my "perspective" posts was trying to use the blog space at SDN to effect change in the SAP community and therefore, in the larger IT community.
And if you think about it, this was wrong for a very obvious reason: SDN has this "Suggestions" Forum that I'm posting in right now.
So if I was really serious about trying to get SDN to become a change agent to help improve the SAP community and the larger IT community, then I should have been posting a particular kind of post to the Suggestion Forum, instead of "perspective" blogs.
In particular, I should have been making Suggestion Forum posts which:
a) clearly identify a problem in the SAP community that SDN can actually help to change;
b) offering a concrete suggestion as to how SDN can help to change this problem.
So - having finally realized my mistake, I want to start posting posts to this Suggestion Forum which do (a) and (b).
But before I do, I want to ask two questions up front: one about frequency and one about content.
With respect to frequency, how often should I make one of these posts to the Suggestion Forum - weekly, every other day - you folks tell me.
With respect to content, are there any topics that any one thinks inappropriate for a suggestion post? In particular, would anyone object to Suggestion Forum posts on the following topics:
a) in the SAP community (outside BI/A), matters relating to real business computation are being ignored in favor of an emphasis on tool technologies that have nothing to do with real business computation, but are important to SAP's marketing strategies; what can SDN to change this?
b) in the SAP community, not enough support is being provided to the many external SAP developers who are stuck on systems at or above 4.6c and below 04s; what can SDN do to change this?
c) in the SAP community, there is not enough awareness of deficiencies in the relational database model, and how carefully it must be used; what can SDN do to change this?
d) in the SAP community, there is not enough awareness of how various "organizational pathologies" at customer sites constrain the ways in which SAP can be used to benefit customers; what can SDN do to change this?
e) in the SAP community, there is far too little focus on SAP metadata, particularly at a time when SAP is trying to move into the Enterprise SOA paradigm.
To sum up:
1) If you think Suggestion Posts in any of these five areas are inappropriate, please take a moment to let me know.
2) If you think that Suggestion Posts should also be limited to a certain frequency, please also take a moment to let me know.
3) If you've gotten this far in reading this post, thanks very much for your patience and for whatever advice you have the time and energy to provide.

Hi Eddy -
Thanks very much for the advice; it will probably work out that way anyway because right now I'm really interested in doing a good enough initial "trial-run" that Valery/Rich will be willing to get involved in a mini-collaboration that I'm right now working to start up with an opening post in "Test/Playground".
Anyway, since you're taking some time off, I beg you to take a look at the first two paragraphs of this link:
<a href="http://www.kcoyle.net/granfalloons.html">ReCatsCradle</a>.
and also then read Kurt Vonnegut's short novel "Cat's Cradle" if you haven't already.
It is amazing how Vonnegut's notions of a "granfaloon" and a "karass" are related to various events that transpire here at SDN.
Take care of yourself, buddy.
Best regards

Request for advice: TM/TC fails on one Macbook Pro, but not the other?

Dear All- looking for some advice.
Background: I installed a 1TB TC about 3 months ago to improve the wireless connectivity around the home/small business and to act as 1 stop backup- primarily for 2 main Macbook Pro’s. Everything seems to work fine, with the exception that the time machine will only successfully back up one Macbook Pro (my wife's) and not the other (mine). In fact I have NEVER been able to get a full successful backup for my machine since I bought my TC.
Scenario: My wireless router from my TC services 2 Macbook Pro’s, 1 iMac, iPhone, Sony PSP, Sony PS3 etc. All successfully and at a good speed. The TC also runs time machine for backups on the 2 Macbook Pros. One MBPro (my wife’s), has worked like a charm and flawless (pre Oct 2008 model 4.1, 2.5Ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB (667MHz)DDR2 SDRAM, OSX 10.5.8, 250GB HD, 512MB video). TM Backup over wireless to my TC works great. While the other (mine) I have NEVER been able to get a successful backup once (MBPro post Nov 2008 model 5.1, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB (1067MHz) DDR3 RAM, OSX 10.5.8, 300GB HD, 768MB Video).
Problem: I have tried a number different combinations of backup without success. I have diligently read numerous posts before coming here. My attempts include, preferences resets, full disk erases (re-named the disk several times), wireless connectivity, hardwired connectivity (i.e no other devices connected), some software running/ no software running, in sleep mode/without sleep mode, all at once backup or intermittent backups.
All provide me with the same message that it is not able to complete a full backup due to a writing error ‘Backup Failed’. At this stage I would not be convinced that the TC is actually working properly, with the exception that it works flawlessly with my wife’s Macbook Pro (yes every time I erase the drive) and that the wireless connectivity is great. My account preferences and setup/access for the TC/TM are identical to the machine that works. The volume I am trying to backup on my machine is ~258GB, while my wife’s machine that works is only around 78GB. I thought this may still be the source of the failure, but cannot see a work around or why.
Considering I bought the TC to allow a solid reliable backup, I am still unhappy and would like to continue to work for a resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the discussions, xSDP!
Apologies if you have already tried this, but I couldn't find it in your detailed list of prior actions.
Note the exact name of your hard drive on your computer. If you haven't changed this, it will be named Macintosh HD
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the icon on the left side of the window that has the exact same name as your hard drive on the desktop
Click Repair Disk Permissions
It will probably take several hours to do this, so allow plenty of time.
Once the process is complete, see if you can backup now.

Looking for advice on best way to upgrade

I have a 4-year-old iMac with the following specs:
Processor 1.25 GHz Power PC G4
Memory 256 MB DDR SDRAM
I am running 10.4.11.
The only complaint that I have is that the computer has been running much slower in recent months. I plan on upgrading to Leopard soon. Does anyone have any recommendations on what I should do to improve performance? Please also tell me if your suggestions are something I can do myself or should put in the hands of professionals.

Hello,
There are several simple things you can do yourself:
1. Install an extra 1GB of RAM for a 1280MB total. 256MB is the bare minimum for Tiger (10.4.11) and really not enough for comfortable operation of much more than simple office tasks.
RAM prices (PC2700).
Instructions
2. Ensure that you have plenty of free hard disk space remaining. This is a very common cause of slow-down over a period of time. You should have at least 15% free so for an 80GB drive you shouldn't have more than 63GB on disk. You can check by right-clicking on Macintosh HD and choose Get Info.
3. Quit applications (especially Safari!) that aren't in use to free up system resources.
4. Other than Leopard, stop buying new software. On a four year old Mac it's bound to feel slow.
5. Whilst you are still using Tiger it's also worth using a system maintenance application like MacJanitor.
cheers

Request for advice on Audigy 2, Audigy RX and ASIO

I believe this may be my first posting on this forum although I have visited many times. I'm not a techie and a lot of the jargon is lost on me so apologies if I go off track a bit.
I am a big BIG fan of the Audigy 2 and I had been using it very happily on my Windows XP machines for at least 6 or 7 years and 3 rebuilds. When I upgraded to Windows Vista and then 7 (reluctantly) all hell broke loose.
Let me explain briefly how I use the card. I record and perform music tracks and I also regularly broadcast through a digital radio stream. Using the "What U Hear" recording setting I record and broadcast voice on mic simultaneously with backing tracks. The recording facility and EAX functions, particularly reverb, were therefore essential to me. It was a sombre moment when I lost them in the Windows upgrades, which turned to panic soon after trialling replacements from various manufacturers, Creative included.
I had a common problem with all of them; latency.
I must have tried about a half dozen or so alternatives. Each were PCIe connectivity, each had ASIO functionality and each had an infuriating latency delay between input and output (singing and hearing) that despite being milliseconds made it impossible to perform or record. I had to return them all.
The problems Audigy had with Windows after XP are already well documented and it was only thanks to the extraordinary efforts of certain enthusiasts developing upgraded drivers etc. (Thank you Mr K!) that I was able to maintain use of my beloved Audigy 2. It has rallied magnificently through much adversity and I persevered with the minor anomalies that I was unable to resolve.
For example, changing the default recording device from microphone to What U Hear and vice versa (through Windows audio settings since the Audigy panel can't do it now) would indicate that the change was successful but doesn't actually activate until I reboot. Never got to the bottom of that that and I could live with it but recently there have been some other glitches.
Music playback (on any software) will drop randomly to terrible static needing a reboot to reset.
Skype voice sounds awful to whoever is listening to me. On the rare occasion I get it working I save the settings (I have tried numerous fixes) only to find that the problem returns next time I reboot. There seems to be no consistency to the cause.
The Audigy RX looks like it will do the job for me but I am concerned about the latency issue. Is it related to the ASIO function?. As I said earlier I am NOT a techie; only through trial and error did I manage to keep the Audigy 2 going for this long.
ASIO I've read about and it seems now to be an industry standard, supposedly to improve performance but so far I have found quite the opposite. I'm not sure what it really is, how it works or if I need it. I don't think Audigy 2 had it and that was fine for me.
So please help; what can I do about this cursed latency?

oh, and I also have two LaCie NAT drives with ethernet connections which I'd like to be able to access from the iMac and the MacBook Pro...
Thanks!

Looking for advice on best way to setup Fusion before just starting

I plan to buy a Mac and install VMware Fusion to run my Windows apps at the same time.
When I get my Mac, the first thing I'm going to do (recommended on this forum), it reinstall OSX and not include uneeded features like other languages, etc (to save space).
Once I have OSX up and running, and I install Fusion, will it then convert an amount of GB to NTFS allocating that portion to Windows?
Or, should I first partition the hard drive before/as installing OSX?
I understand this stuff in Windows but am brand new to Mac so just want to make sure I go about it the right way from the start.
I definitely DO NOT want to to the BootCamp thing as want my Mac environment up all the time (for email, primarily) and just launch Microsoft Visual Studio and other Windows apps as needed for work. I figure if I get 4GB RAM total, I can allocate 2GB to Windows when Fusion is running. Then when I close Fusion, I have all 4GB there for running Logic Pro and everything else on the Mac.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi rcook349;
Instead of doing an Erase & Install, what I do is use Monolingual to remove the extra languages.
Another thing that will return more disk space that languages is to remove printer you are never going to own. I found that saved me almost twice as much space as the languages.
I can say anything about running Windoze because I don't allow anything from M$ on my Macs.

Request for advice/resources r.e. filmmaking

Hi gurus,
I've just started filming and editing an instructional DVD, and I'm realizing what a steep learning curve I'm climbing up! One epiphany I had last night was that zooming in or zooming out on a subject in between cuts, without changing the camera angle, looks terrible. One second the camera's taking a wide-angle shot of me speaking, and "BING!" it jumps to a close-up. The effect is jarring.
There must be some good resources on the web outlining some basic principles for filming a speaker effectively (most of my DVD will be just me talking in front of the camera). Anyone know of any? I'm looking for a 30-minute crash course on the basics, not a PHD program.
Thanks!

I'm thinking I need to film as much material as I can in one take--you can't screw up an edit if there isn't one!
I realized this when I watched http://www.storyofstuff.com/ - This is the kind of presentation I want to make (sans cool graphics and white background), and Annie Leonard appears to do most of her schtick in one take.

Advice or best practise information about 1 or 2 clients in SAP R/3 DEV

I'm searching for advice or best practise information about clients in a SAP R/3 development system.
Reason for this is that we are up to refresh our SAP R/3 development system and up to now we have two clients on it:
- One customizing/development client without master data, transaction data et cetera
- One local test client with master data, transaction data and so on
One of our developers suggested to only have one client on development, where we could customize, program and test. So that client would be with master data, transaction data et cetera.
What would be your advice or what would be best practise for the development system: 1 client (with data) or 2 clients (one clean customizing and one with data). And what are the most important reasons to do it so.
Maybe there is already some good (SAP) information about this specific subject, but up to now I havenu2019t found it yet.

Maybe I've asked my question too broad. I'll try to narrow it down.
Up to now we always had two clients on our SAP R/3 development system:
- Client 200 - Customizing/development only. No other data in this client
- Client 400 - Local test client with master data and transaction data. New customizing is copied from client 200 to test
The reason for having those two clients are:
- It feels someway good to have a customizing-only client
- We've always done this before
A developer suggested to only have one client in our SAP R/3 development system for the following reason:
- You'll never need to copy the customizing (tr.SCC1) first to be able to test it
- You can work in one client and don't need to login in the other client to test it (for example: ABAP reports)
- For customizing of easy setting (for example producthiërarchie, as we don't test it everytime in client 400) it is possible to forget copying it into client 400 (test client). With one client, you can not forget it
The reasons of this developer seems very valid and up to now we haven't found a convincing/compelling reason to make a good choice for one or two clients.
Please, try to convince us with good reasons to choose for one or two clients.
