Server monitor not working (hardware monitor)

Just finnished installing my brand new maxed out Intel Xserves. And the Server monitor isn't working.
This thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=643361
Didn't solve my problem. hwmond is running on the Xserves but each server line just says "Waiting for response". My /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras file doesn't even HAVE a Disabled key. It has Label, OnDemand, Program, ProgramArguments and ServiceIPC keys, but no Disabled. And the hwmonds is running anyway.
I have opened server monitor on the xserve itself and tried to open it to itself with no luck. I have configured Lights out management by choosing Server->Configure local Machine and added another IP there with different login, but I can't connect to either IP. Firewalls are all turned off.
Running /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup just says "already loaded"
Server Admin works, I can log in and edit services. Workgroup manager also works.
When i run the hwmond as root on the server, it says "Failed to communicate with the front panel" which could be due to hwmond already running, but I can't turn off the process since launchd (?) launches it again.
When I choose "Configure local Machine" the password I entered is always blank, but maybe that's by design.
Since these servers aren't installed yet I have them in my office and their IP's are temporary, so I read this:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106830
And it says that for this environment I should set the hostname to "localhost" in /etc/hostconfig. Done. Nothing changed.
I've googled this and searched here but found nothing. I'm running out of options... What should I do?

I set the server on a desk and do a fresh install off a DVD with the "erase HD" option. Then I install and configure the software I need (Software update, Sophos, power options, etc.) I did not configure LOM at that point, because I wasn't sure how to do it, and I needed to deploy the server. (luckily LOM was easy enough to set up after it was deployed.) Once the server is ready, I connect a FireWire HD to it, which has OS installed on it and boot from that.
That way my server is just an attached disk, and I use Disk Utility to create an image of it, which I then deploy on other servers.
I've had an issue with the G5 XServes where such a method required relatively simple modification before the server monitor would work:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301046
But, I've not had to do that with the Intel XServes.

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore

I updated iTunes to 10.5 and now in my Netgear Stora iTunes server is not working anymore.
Configuration: OSX Lion with Server, iTunes 10.5, latest firmware for the Stora.
Can this be confirmed to be a bug introduced with 10.5 ?
I also saw some people mentioning the same problem on Synology NAS.
Seems like the 10.5 uodate broke something.

Definitely seems to be a cross-platform bug in iTunes 10.5 concerning all NAS disks. Shared libraries on network drives worked fine under 10.4.1, but now there is just an endless loading cycle with no error message or time-out. There is a bit more about it in this thread.

Server does not work in yosemite

Help! My OS X Server does not work after upgrade to Yosemite! Disaster!!!

After the disappointment that I cant manage the servers running the previous versions of OSX server from my upgraded desktop. I upgraded my office server to 10.10 Yosemite with OSX Server 4.0 I am still not able to connect.
I can remote desktop into the server without a problem (both are on the same LAN with the server on .local). But the Server app is not able to connect.
Actions taken so far:
Update software on desktop to 10.10 and Server 4.0
Update software on server to 10.10 and Server 4.0
Verified connection by pinging IP and .local
Verified to connect to the drive and screen sharing via local network
Rebooted router + switch
Rebooted desktop + server
If you manage OSX servers for clients, keep a system on 10.9 around so you can still keep your business running.
Upgrading the server needs to be done on site with display, keyboard and mouse connected.
Apple please fix a.s.a.p.

WSDL causing CF server to not work

Hello all,
I have a strange situation that I am not sure how to fix. I have a website that uses web services on a different server than what the site is hosted on. Recently the CF server was not working properly. We rebooted it and it worked for about a minute then crapped out again. We found that the webservices on the other server had been stopped for some reason. Once those were turned back on, the CF server was able to run everything just fine and would not freeze up at all. The problem is that the web services can sometimes shut off like that, and it causes our main website to stop functioning until the web service server is rebooted and/or the webservices get turned back on. I am curious if anyone has experienced something similar and knows of a solution. I am not sure why the web services not running could cause the CF server to completely crap out. If anyone has any advice as to how to protect the main site, that uses ther CF server, from breaking if the web services get shut off or that other server goes down. I understand that parts of the site that use the web services would not work, but I can't have the rest of the website break bc the web services are not avilable for a small portion of the site. We use a URL to connect to the web service, like below. Any help would br appreciated. Thanks.

Is your mother on an Auto Pay Plan or does she use a charge card to pay for the $100.00 ? I know this will not make any sense but in plan booklet it states and I will print exactly what its says " You will forfeit the money in your account if you have activated service without a Refill Card and did not make an outbound call within 60 days." I always use a prepaid card and have not made a call within the 60 days and have never been cancelled. I'm not sure what that means but you might want to check with customer service and see if they can give you any details. Is the money from before August still showing up in the account?

Does any one know why the iCloud email server does not work?

I keep trying to send mail but it keeps telling me the server is not working and to create another. Help!?!

Either it ended up in a spam filter or it isn't being sent to that address. If you can't find it, use the link in the 'Additional Information' section of that article to contact the iTunes Store staff.

Why does Server Monitor not work with non-Xserves?

Does anyone know why Server Monitor does not work with non-Xserve computers? We acquired a Power Mac for a server, based on there being no apparent difference except for the obvious. Turns out there are some differences after all.
Do Power Macs lack some hardware components or is this just a software thing?

God question, unfortunitly I dont have the answer but I would also like to know why the software only works for X-Serve....Is there any 3rd Party Software that is similar to "Server Monitor"?
Thanks

Server monitor not working

Guys,
I have server monitor installed on a 10.5.8 client mini to monitor our 9 xserves and it works fine on all the older ones (all G4 or G5 xserves running tiger or panther) but will not detect any of the 4 new Intel Xeon xserves running 10.5 (mixture of .6 and .8). In each case it alternates between reporting "Software is not installed properly on server" and "CANNOTLOAD_BUNDLEERR".
I'm assuming this is something specific to 10.5 - some sort of SNMP setting or something perhaps? Obviously I've checked the passwords, I'm using root username/password for each one, all the servers are on and available, and like I say, it's working fine on the older ones.
Anybody had any experience with this and know the answer?
Further info: 3 of the servers (of which one is 10.5 and not working) are on the local network (local to the monitoring mini), the remaining 3 10.5's are each on other LAN's to which I have a currently working VPN. In each case the 10.5 machine which isn't working is on the same LAN as an older machine that is, so I know that's not the issue.

The Intel XServes seem to operate differently than the old G5 units when it comes to LOM. Mine has been giving me a bugger of a time getting Server Monitor to work properly, but right now it seems to be functioning..
Have you gone to Server Monitor on each of the Intel units and set up the "Configure Local Machine" from the Server menu? It should reject you if you enter the IP address of the Ethernet connection to your LAN - you have to use a different IP address. Configure only the information for 'Network 1' with the info for your LAN.
It may be purely anecdotal, but it seemed to start working for me after I enabled the firewall on the server, leaving all the ports on the LAN open and shutting everything down on the other address groups.

CF8 Flash forms nor server monitor not working on authenticated server

Have bee troubleshooting an issue with the server monitor and
flash forms not working on a CF8 server that is completely
authenticated. You can see the full thread of the issue here
http://groups.google.com/group/houcfug/browse_thread/thread/71160184e762587f?hl=en
In the pre-cf8 days, we had implemented the following "fix"
for NT Authentication with CF Templates
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_18516
However, when I uncheck the "Check that file exists" flag in
IIS6, both the server monitor and the CFFORM type = flash are now
both working. Am I making a tradeoff between NT security and
Flash/Flex?
My question is this, is the "fix" referenced in the KB
article abonve still needed for CF8?
If so, do I have to decide between security and Flash/Flex or
is there a way to have both NT security and flash/flex on the
server?
If not, I would suggest that somebody from Adobe make an edit
to the KB article pointing out that the "Fix" is not needed for CF8
and if implemented will break the server monitor and flash forms
and Flex on that CF server.
Thanks,
M

I mean when I open the administrator and click on Launch
Server Monitor it does nothing. Does not open and as far as I can
tell no error is generated or logged. If I open it outside of the
the administrator it opens but when I click on Statistics or Alerts
I get a logon Server Monitor logon box that tells me that the
ColdFusion Server is not started.

Multiple monitors not working in RDS on server 2012

Hello.
I have a Windows 2012 server running RDS. Before RDS was installed a remote desktop session used all available monitors when 'use all my monitors for the remote session' was checked in the RDP client settings.
After I installed RDS the default session collection had a limit of 16 monitors that I was unable to edit. When I connected to the default session collection I could only get the remote session to display on 1 monitor.
I deleted that session collection, created a new one, and was able to edit the 'maximum number of redirected monitors' setting to the desired value of 2 but the remote session still only displays on 1 monitor.
If the session collection is set to 2 monitors and the RDP client is set to 'use all my monitors' why is the remote session only displayed on 1?
Thanks.
Keith

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
Please try to use RDC 8.0 to connect to the Remote Desktop Server. In addition, you may refer to the following blog to see if any settings restrict the number of monitors.

Unityconnection Port Staus Monitor Not Working

Hi ,
Port status monitor is not working. unityconnection version 7.1.5.
We enabled the port status monitor & given the PC IPaddress.
Enable Remote Port Status Monitor Output
IP Addresses Allowed To Connect For Port Status Monitor Output (comma-separated)

I'm assuming you have an IP addressed filled in and it's just not on your screen shot...
What version of rPSM?
rPSM uses port 5000 to communicate with Connection (this is noted in the help but I should probably put some static text to this effect on the login form for clarity). Make sure it's not being blocked between your client and the Connection server.
Beyond that there's not much that can go wrong - it's simply getting text streaming off that port once your client has been registered (Connection wont talk to any client that doesn't have an IP that matches in the list there).
No DB or other connections are needed or are in use.
