Server configuration.. better to free up space??

I have a mac mini server and 6TB external. The server is 2 500GB currently storing and running time machine and the external RAID 1. Would it be more efficient to store all the data on the external drive and free up the server space or does it not matter. Looking for advice. I will be using the server to store and access A/V Files.

Windows Server 2012 Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low

I enabled the monitor "Windows Server 2012 Logical Disk Free Space (%) Low" and configured a low threshold to test. I started to get a bunch of warnings from servers, for example:
The disk \\?\Volume{ee0222ed-16de-40a5-af89-f95db3fdf5a4} on computer PC is running out of disk space. The value that exceeded the threshold is 11% free space.
Now I checked on the server, and all the disks have more than 11% free space. Additionally, I don't see any disks with such a name/guid.
When looking at the additional knowledge of the monitor, I see that it is using the following information:
Object Name: Logical Disk
Counter Name: PercentFree
My question is where is this disk coming from, and how can I avoid these disks from creating false alarms? When looking in the Windows Server
From my analyzing the DB, I see that these are the partitions on the server without a volume letter. Any way to avoid getting these discovered and/or alerts, without overriding each one?

Hi,
These "strange" disks are called mount points.
They get discovered by the "Mount Point Discovery Rule".
Go to your authoring => rules => search for the rule above and disable it.
If you want to remove all the instances in your environment you need to use Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance
powershell cmdlet.
More info on the cmdlet can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh920257%28v=sc.20%29.aspx

Different Free disk space values in ps cs6 beta and finder

OS X 10.7.3
Photoshop CS6 Beta shows less hdd space available than finder does. It is installed on a MBP, with an 128gb Crucial M4 SSD.
As you can see in the screenshot below Finder has 73.4GB available, Photoshop shows 46.22GB. This is too much a difference even if you think about the OS X size calculation since 10.6
It was also showing a similar amount during the installation (current amount + about 3GB)
I did a clean installation of the cs6 beta, no extra stuff added. no changes made.

seems like i found the mistake.
it's not photoshop related but OS X related.
Once you use Timemachine on a portable computer it enables MobileBackups.
This takes away some extra space for backups, but finder ignores that and shows you more space. once you disable that finder shows the right amount that photoshop sees too.

...my post also deletes on Thunderbird. Please make an option to prevent it, so deleting on a server doesn't effect mail in the Thunderbird. I would be so happy to have it...
David

First Thunderbird portable is supported by its author at portableapps.com.
Secondly you are describing exactly how the IMAP email standard works and Thunderbird has no control over that.
Thunderbird has Local Folders to move messages that you want to keep locally. Maybe the portable version does too.

Does this also serve as an external hard-drive so I can free up space on my macs by transferring songs/pictures?

SMB errors copying from Windows Mac serv - "Not Enough Free Disk Space"

Mac OS X 10.5.5 server with 4TB usable internal space (RAID5 volume) shared out via SMB so that windows workstations (XP Pro SP3) on local subnet can mount them.
when copying files from internal drives on workstations to SMB share on the Mac fileserver, I get no problems. When copying files from external (USB 2.0) drives from workstation to server, i get constant errors of:
"Cannot copy x: There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space, and then try again."
I've tried all different combinations of SMB settings with permissions and opt locks etc, but so far found nothing that works.
Anyone run into this and resolved it?

UPdate Update... after turning logging to high, i've found the following error in my SMB logs upon copying one of the seemingly random files (I can now make the error happen by copying the same file that caused the error)

Decreased min free swap space

Hello everyone,
due to technical problems, in 07/Dic/2005 we had to replace a disk in one of our cluster server of SAP R/3 Enterprise. We also increased its level security from RAID 0 to RAID 5.
But today we have detected than since that moment, the min free swap space has decreased considerably, from 12800 KB (approx.) to 1100 KB (approx) !! (with ST06 transaction). The replaced disk has the SAME characteristics of the previous one
How can we solve this situation and return to original swap space values? Which is the optimal configuration of swap space in SAP and Windows 2003 Server?? We have two nodes in a cluster (one with the application server and one with the database), and each one has 4Gb of memory.
Current commit charge values of Windows 2003 Server task Manager are:
Commit charge (K):
Limit: 7931568
Peak: 7925732
This is the SAP answer to the note I opened:
"Please ask your hardware partner about this. At the moment I do not know anything about the symptom on other customer systems. My opinion is that the workload has been changed, thus increased peak values. Please look at the installation guide "
Can yoy help me?
Thanks in advance,
Óscar Sánchez
[email protected]

Hi Oskar,
My suggestion:
Activate NT performance monitor and try to identify
the time when you have peak usage of swap and application that caused it. To my knowledge, even 12800 KB free swap is not acceptable amount (at least, there should be couple of hundreds megabites available). Check your process monitor to see what applications take much memory. If you replaced your disk on the C: drive of the other MSCS node, I don't see any ways that this replacement could affect to the other node swap size. (I am assuming that C: drive is not sharing through the nodes)

Mike

Web server configuration failed with EPM 11.1.2.2 on Solaris 11

Hi,
When install & configured EPM 11.1.2.2, all components configuration success except web server configurations. In the
/export/epm/Middleware/EPMSystem11R1/diagnostics/logs/
[ERROR][EPMCFG-07236][oracle.EPMCFG][SRC_CLASS: com.hyperion.cis.config.ant.apache2.OHS2configurator]/export/epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/httpConfig/ohs/config/OHS/ohs_component/httpd.conf wasn't found. OHS wasnt configured successfully, see oraInventory logs for more details"
The /export/epm has around 1.1T free disk space, and it had been set WRX permission for the 'epm' user. Please advise what might cause the above issue?
Thanks,

Hi,
The OHS installation was showed as "Complete" in the EPM installation. Yes, there was "/export/epm/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/httpConfig" directory.
Under "/export/epm/oraInventory/logs", it generated 4 files as "intsall*.log", "install*.out", "installActions*.log", and
"installProfile*.log" when I'm trying to configure the web server again with cfgtool. The logs are pretty long, and I'm not sure if the bellow messages indicate space problem or not in the "install*.log"?

How do I clean up mail in my icloud? I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room). When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room. Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there? If so, how do I do it? Also, on a related subject, why does my mail not sync accross all devices? ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices? How can I change this?

Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

WIndows 7 64-bit system printing to a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server

Is there any way to configure a new Windows 7 64-bit computer to use a Windows 2000 server configured as a print server ?
The printer that I would like to connect to is an HP 4240n LaserJet. I appears that there is only a 64-bit Universal Print Driver available. The server currently uses HP 32-bit PCL5e or PCL6 drivers for all other connected computers. Connection is through a Hewlett-Packard Network Port, using DLC/LLC transport for the embedded 4240n print server.
Installing the HP 64-bit UPD to the WIndows 7 64-bit system, and then attempting to redirect the local port to the Win2k network print server has not worked.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi:
See if this works...
Run msconfig.
In the System Configuration screen, Boot tab, Advanced Options, if there is a check mark in the box next to Maximum memory. Remove that checkmark and save your changes.
Reboot and hopefully Windows recognises all the Ram ( minus the reserved ) after restarting.
Please give that a try, and post back and let us know if that frees up some system memory for you.

Best practice for server configuration for iTunes U

Hello all, I'm completely new to iTunes U, never heard of this until now and we have zero documentation on how to set it up. I was given the task to look at best practice for setting up the server for iTunes U, and I need your help.
*My first question*: Can anyone explains to me how iTunes U works in general? My brief understanding is that you design/setup a welcome page for your school with sub categories like programs/courses, and within that you have things like lecture audio/video files and students can download/view them on iTunes. So where are these files hosted? Is it on your own server or is it on Apple's server? Where & how do you manage the content?
*2nd question:* We have two Xserve(s) sitting in our server room ready to roll, my question is what is the best method to configure them so it meets our need of "high availability in active/active mode, load balancing, and server scaling". Originally I was thinking about using a 3rd party load balancing device to meet these needs, but I was told there is no budget for it so this is not going to happen. I know there is IP Failover but one server has to sit in standby mode which is a waste. So the most likely scenario is to setup DNS round robin and put both xserves in active/active. My question now is (this maybe related to question 1), say that all the content data like audio/video files are stored by us, (We are going to link a portion of our SAN space to Xserve for storage), if we are going with DNS round robin and put the 2 servers in Active/Active mode, can both servers access a common shared network space? or is this not possible and each server must have its own storage space? And therefore I must use something like RSYNC to make sure contents on both servers are identical? Should I use XSAN or is RSYNC good enough?
Since I have no experience with iTunes U whatsoever, I hope you understand my questions, any advice and suggestion are most welcome, thanks!

wht is the Best Practice for having server pool i.e
1) having a single large serverpool consisting of "n" number of guest vm
2) having a multiple small serverpool consisting of less of number of guest vm I prefer option 1, as this gives me the greatest amount of resources available. I don't have to worry about resources in smaller pools. It also means there are more resources across the pool for HA purposes. Not sure if this is Official Best Practice, but it is a simpler configuration.
Keep in mind that a server pool should probably have up to 20 servers in it: OCFS2 starts to strain after that.

HT3680 how to free up space if startup disk is full

How do I free up space when the startup disk is full?

O Trejo, greetings;
I am not the Wizard but a mere citizen of Oz who wears green tinted glasses as all others do.
DaisyDisk appears to perform a similar function as OmniDiskSweeper which I still prefer due probably due to my familiarity with it.
I am not familiar with OSX Server, so I am off the hook on this one. If you go to the OSX Server forum, there will be forum members who will be able to address your query. This is the link:

If you are really nice to them, they may give you a Dog Yummy.
Ciao.

How to free up space on hardrive please help!!

hey everyone im new to mac and i wanted to know if there is anyway i could clean up my haddrive or delete un-needed files. such as cache and what not so please help me i just wanna freee up some space
Thanks!

Hello.
Cache files, in general, are better left alone unless there is a problem with the running of your iBook. Sometimes a troubleshooting measure might involve a system cache cleaning but best left alone, especially by a self confessed newbie
Caches which can be safely deleted are your browser caches. but these rarely take up much space, their default cache sizes are usually in the region of 10-50 MB. Clearing your browsers' History can free up space too. Safari's cache can be emptied by selecting 'Safari' in your menu bar, then selecting 'Empty Cache', & History by selecting 'Clear History' from the History menu. These just get filled up again as you browse, though.
There are, however, other, more permanent, things that you can do to free up disk space.
For example, on my iBook, I have removed GarageBand from Applications and its Loops from HD/Library/Application Support. As my iBook only has a combo drive and I'm not into video editing anyway I have trashed iDVD & iMovie. (Not DVD player). I have also trashed preloaded games and World Book, and its associated files.
Language support files can be removed using Monolingual. Do not remove any English language files, though.
OS X comes with a vast library of printer drivers, the large proportion of which will never be used by the average user.
Printer drivers are in the HD/Library/Printers folder. You can safely delete any named drivers that you don't have a printer for. For example, if you have a Canon, you can remove Epson, Lexmark, Hewlett Packard & Brother drivers. Epson alone takes up in excess of 1gb. You can even remove specific drivers from within the manufacturer's folder. For example, if you have an Epson C86 you can safely trash any other specific drivers in the Epson folder like C46, C66 etc. If, at a later date, you buy a printer whose driver you removed they can be added from your install disk, the disk that comes with the printer or downloaded.
A word of warning: More cautious heads than mine advise against messing in the HD/Library, but if you stick to the examples above, i.e. GarageBand loops, World Book and printer drivers you will be OK.
Check, too, in your music folder. It is possible that you have, say, 'xyz song' in the first level of your Music folder and the same song in Music/iTunes/iTunes Library. If you are sure that you do have 'xyz song' in iTunes, it is safe to delete from 'Music'. The same principle can apply to your Pictures folder and iPhoto Library, but staying with iTunes for a moment, with iTunes open select Edit in the menu bar, then 'Show duplicate songs'. You can trash duplicates if you are sure that they are true duplicates, i.e. exact name, artist and file size.
Some excellent advice has been posted by ~JB~, with corresponding words of caution.
Dr Smoke has some advice here too.
Last but by no means least, when you have finished dumping your unwanted stuff in the trash, don't forget to empty it. You haven't regained the space until you do
Enjoy your new Mac, have fun and if in doubt about deleting anything, ask. There are no stupid questions, everyone here was a newbie once…

I know I used to have Server Configuration Tools, but when I just looked for it, it seems like it has disappeared. I'm looking at this.

I used to be able to reset SQL Server using the Configuration Tools, but now I can't reset it, and I can't login.
Please help!!
