Shared File Store

We need best practice recommendations please for architecting a CacheStore with a shared file system on Unix. We have 2 x Solaris 10 machines attached to EMC SAN and intend to write critical transactions into a CacheStore through a DistributedCache. In the event that machine 1 fails, then the DistributedCache becomes mastered on machine 2 and the CacheStore would have to be immediately available to machine 2.
What best practice recommendations do you have for sharing the file system? Standard UFS will not work I have been told.

I believe that you already understand this, but just in case: The information managed by the distributed cache would be available to all machines, and no information is lost in the event that a machine fails.
     The CacheStore is a mechanism for moving that information to and from a persistent store. Do you want to store that information in a database, for example, with the information on the SAN? Or are you wanting to write that information directly out to a file (or series of files) on the SAN?
     Each machine will only write the information that has been partitioned to that particular machine AND has changed. When failure of a machine occurs, the information on that machine is failed over to other machines (i.e. they have an up-to-date backup copy of the data), and then those machines are responsible for writing it out.
     Peace,

Sharing files between users and macs

My husband and I share an iMac. I have a MBA for traveling and my husband a PC laptop (though he rarely uses for private stuff). We both have iPhones.
We are looking for a way to:
- Share our photos (we don't use iPhoto) and some files. We would like to have this in one shared folder, that we can access from both accounts in the iMac, the MBA and ideally (though not a must) the PC and iPhones. We would both need to have admin rights to edit documents, etc.
- Have access to all the information in my account on the iMac from the MBA. Ideally, same thing for his and the PC.
- Have access to all the data remotely when traveling.
- Have all the data backed up locally (we already have a cloud backup, but we'd like to have a local backup too as it's easier and quicker to access)
We have read a lot about configuration, NAS, time capsule... but we get more and more confused, as we are obviously no tech experts.
Dropbox is not our preferred choice. We already have a cloud backup system. We'd rather have the files stored and accessed locally for everyday use.
Using a NAS to store shared folders and backup the rest sounds good, but they either seem very complicated to set up, or they have mixed reviews in terms of stability, especially to access files remotely.
Timecapsule seems easier and more straightforward, but I'm not sure it would solve the "sharing files between users and macs with admin rights"? It seems to be more focused on backing up the main drive and then providing access to the backed up files. (Though I might be completely mistaken!)
We just can't manage to have one shared folder between both accounts in the iMac. We need to grant admin rights document by document. We don't manage to make it work automatically so we both have one folder to access with full rights for all the contents inside it. And this seems to me like something that should easily be done...?
Any help, advice, proposals... would be greatly appreciated!!!

Move any file you want to the other user to access to the Shared Folder. Anything you put in that folder is available to all users.
The shared folder is here:

i went ahead and checkd the file and the privs on the file they look correct -rw-r--r-- ...but when i just restart it ..it starts with no errors the next time......What could be the issue.....please help
Then only reason i could think of is the size of the file is 35MB now...is this the problem....if yes....is there a way to automaticaly rotate this file ....

The root cause appears to be right in the stack trace:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Error from fcntl() for file locking, Resource temporarily unavailable, errno=11I think this indicates that either the file was either locked (because another instance of WebLogic had it opened), or that the file was unavailable for some reason. WebLogic locks files as a safety precaution to prevent misconfigured setups (multiple domains sharing the same directory and store name) from attempting to share the same file.
I don't think that this message necessarily means there is a file corruption.
As for rotation, the file store automatically adds new files as needed (I think its 1 file for every 2GB of data). The "diagnostics" file store is generated by the optional diagnostics feature, and I think that this feature has options for controlling the amount of stored data.

No longer able to access shared files on my pc over my network from my mac

For months I have been able to access my shared files folder located on my pc, sharing a network with my PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3 +). Suddenly, when I try to access the pc now, I get the spinning beachball and nothing. I can see my pc in the network, but it doesn't open. I haven't made any changes on the pc side, except perhaps the windows security updates that come along once in a while. (I did try to access it with the firewall turned off just in case, but no dice).
Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to shake this out?

Adobe Story stores its local files on the following location:
On Windows,
1. Open Windows Explorer and type '%appdata%' in the address bar
2. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.
On Mac,
1. Open Finder.
2. From 'Go' Menu, open 'Go to folder'
3. Type '~/Library/Preferences' and hit enter
4. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.

Shared File Missing from Time Capsule

This morning all of my shared files are missing. There used to be two folders in the time capsule file and now there is only one "DATA" which is where our workstation backups go. The other one was a Shared File where we put all of the files we shared across the network. The DATA file is there, but the Shared file is completely missing. I have tried searching the individual workstations and I cannot find it or anything that was within it. Any ideas how to find/restore it?

Very strange stuff happens.. let me tell you .. if you put a computer onto yosemite .. even one..even briefly.. like a laptop someone bought in and connected to the TC, it can do some very odd stuff to the network files.. permissions is a big big issue.
Time Machine cannot backup network drives.. so sharing files from the TC is always a very very bad idea. The TC is designed purely as a backup target for Time Machine. It should be used very carefully beyond its design parameters.. since it cannot back itself up either.
I still think the files are there.. unless it was deliberately deleted.
I don't think you will like my suggestions to get the files back though.
But here is an odd one.. get /borrow /lone a PC laptop running windows.. and load up the airport utility onto it. Then open the TC disk in windows explorer.. type the name directly into the address bar..
\\TCname.local or \\TCIPaddress (where you replace the TCname with actual NETWORK name (which is not its name as shown on the TC if it has spaces and illegal characters).. that is why using the actual IP is easier.. TCIPaddress replace with IPv4 address eg 10.0.1.1
Windows cannot read Mac permissions so tends to open everything. It cannot read it correctly all the file info sometimes but you will quickly see what is there and what is missing.
Another suggestion.
Full factory reset of the TC. No files on the hard disk are changed doing this.
Factory reset universal
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
Run through the airport utility and use all short names no spaces and pure alphanumerics. Passwords should also match that except longer.. 8-20 characters work well for both.
Now manually mount the disk in Finder.
Use Go, Connect to Server in Finder.. type in
AFP://TCname.loca or TCIPaddress (same as above definitions).
In the new clean mount of the TC disk see if you can locate the directory or folder with your missing files.
Otherwise if the files are important.. you must immediately stop using the TC.. remove its hard disk or get a store to swap disks for you .. and preserve the old one.. use a proper USB to SATA holder and plug it into your Mac and use a file recovery software like Data Rescue 3 to see if the files are deleted but available. I have had success using this method. Even just running disk utility to fix permissions can sometimes get the results you want.
If it is a fairly old TC.. with say a 1 or 2TB disk it is very easy to open the TC and change out the disk.. ask if you are prepared to go this path and we can give you more info.

Sharing files with other mac users on iCloud

May I share files I store on iCloud with other users?

If you want to try online sharing you might like to look at SugarSync:
https://www.sugarsync.com/products/sync_sharing.html
- this page says:
Collaborate with shared folders
SugarSync keeps all your shared files up-to-date and in sync for powerful collaboration with your virtual team. With folder sharing, you can collaborate on projects by giving a person, or a group of people, access to a shared folder on your computer. No more wasting time emailing individual files and tracking the latest versions. Just send an email invitation to your clients, coworkers, or family members to join your folder.
Sync folders of information across teams
Folder members can sync a shared folder directly to their own computers. Any member of a shared folder can have their own copy of the folder on their own computer. Folder members can edit files locally. Updates are reflected for everyone as soon as the file is saved.
I've not tried this so you would need to investigate to see whether it suited your requirements.
There is also a new program, Cloud App, which makes sharing files simple: it runs as a background process and you just drag files to the menu bar icon. Storage is with Heroku and Amazon: it's free with a limit of 10 files per day, maximum 25MB per file, $45 per year for unlimited files, maximum 250MB per file.
Another possible option is YouSendIt. It provides the facility for you to upload files and send an email to a recipient telling them how to download it: and it's also possible with all but the free plan for others to upload a file for you. The free version allows you to send a maximum file size of 50MB with no upload by others: $9.99 per month gets you 2GB sized files in either direction, and there are upgraded plans.

Sharing data stores between BE6000 UCS Servers

Hi,
I have two UCS C220 M3 servers running Business Edition version 9.1.
The servers are in the same data centre and each host a CUCM server, Unity Connection server and Presence Server.
This is great as each application has two servers and so there is survivability it the case that one UCS server fails.
Now the customer wants an Attendant Console and has purchased the Cisco Unified Business Attendant Console which does not have a high availability option.
I have installed this on one UCS server where it is running happily. To provide some resilience what I am considering is turning off the CUBAC VM, copying its files to the other UCS server and adding it to the inventory of that server.
I have tested this by manually copying the files to my PC then uploading them to the second UCS server and it worked ok but took a fair time.
I was wondering if there are any ways to improve/automate this.
My first thought was whether it is possible to share the internal storage of the UCS servers with each other using some clever storage tricks (iSCSI, NFS?).
If not is it supported/recommended to add external storage (say a NAS) to the BE6000 servers and use this as a shared storage area?
If yes to the above is there a way to automate the shutdown, copying and restart of the CUBAC virtual machine on the first UCS server?
My other concern is about leaving a Windows Server VM powered off for an extended period. Is this a very bad thing as it will miss updates or is it something that Windows will deal with gracefully?
I realise that this is a bit wacky and a far better solution would have been to buy an Attendant Console with high availability built in to it.
Thanks

Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I know what I am asking is far from ideal but this is the position that I have been put in by circumstances.
If I had been involved in the selection of the console CUBAC would not have been selected and I would not be in this position (I would probably have used Fidelus console with queuing provided by CUCM hunt groups).
Unfortunately I have to play the hand I have been dealt hence my questions about sharing data stores etc.
I acknowledge that I am stepping away from best practice but if anyone has input on my original questions I would be grateful.
Thanks
James

My husband died and i'm trying to access our shared files however I don't have his password.

My husband passed away and i'm trying to gain access to his icloud account to retrieve our shared files.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Patty

You will require the assistance of Apple, and they will require proof. Go to an Apple Store and ask them,

TS3991 Why don't shared files on the icloud update on my devices after they are edited by others?

I have 4 different devices with 3 users. All users use the numbers app on iPads and the shared files don't for other users. For devices linked to the same Apple ID the updates appear immediately.
What can I do?

Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
What is backed up
You get unlimited free storage for:
Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

SharePoint Online - storage options (large exiting file store)

We would like to implement a SharePoint Online solution to provide remote access to shared files.
Ideally we would migrate our existing file store, but this is well over 500GB. Is SharePoint a viable solution for storing large volumes of data? I had looked into the possibility of RBS, but this is unsupported for SharePoint Online.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi sara_williams79. SharePoint Online can be used for large file stores but you should be aware of some key limitations. Each site collection in SharePoint Online can store a maximum of 100GB of data; so you would need at least 6 site collections for
your data. Maximum file size in SharePoint Online is 2GB. Any files over that size will not upload.
Document libraries in SharePoint Online can hold millions of documents but any library that holds over 5,000 items (or 20,000 in SkyDrive Pro library) will cause issues for some client tools like SkyDrive Pro sync client. Therefore do plan
for some time to check and reorganise your data to fit within the storage constraints and the SkyDrive Pro sync client (on the libraries you plan to use with it).
Further information about SharePoint Online storage boundaries is documented here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx
Are you planning to migrate users' home folders to SharePoint Online? SharePoint Online offers a good solution for this kind of data; each user receives 25GB of personal file storage in their SkyDrive Pro site which can be increased to a maximum 100GB.

Sharing files with Creative cloud for teams

HI,
I am looking at getting creative cloud for teams, but I want to keep our existing CS suite users who are already on maintenance plans.
Can I share files on the creative cloud between these two types of users?
Does Adobe Bridge see these files ?
Is there any way of doing version control ?
We are also worried about this
"If a team member leaves the company, what happens to their files stored in Creative Cloud?
The IP is associated with the individual, not the company. The individual will have a 90-day grace period to delete their files."
Also we are in Australia and we are concerned about the speed. Can anyone advise what the speed is like ?
rgds Renovator

Anyone who signs up for the Creative Cloud can share files. You do not need to be a Creative Cloud member to view a shared file, only to do the sharing.
Adobe Bridge does not see the files unless you use Creative Cloud Connection to sync the files to your local computer.
There is no version control yet. It is on our road map.
Being in Australia should not be an issue, but I will let other customers from Australia comment.

Windows 7 computers asking for network password to access shared files and printers on Windows XP PRO computer.

I have a network of 10 computers configured as peer-to-peer work group. I have upgraded one of the ten from Windows XP PRO to Windows 7 PRO. The other nine computers are all running XP PRO. AS near as I can tell they are all configured the same. I have the
same user and same passwords on all computers. One of XP computers is used as a print server. The Windows 7 computer initially was able to access shared files and printers on all XP machines with out requesting a network password.
Suddenly, the Win 7 computer began requesting a network password to access the shared files and printers on the XP print server. It will not accept any of the user names or passwords (all administrators on both machines with identical names and passwords.)
The Win 7 computer has no problem accessing the shared files on the other XP machines. It can even access shared printers in a different work group. Apparently something has changed but I'm at my wits end trying to figure what changed on either the Windows
7 machine or the print server XP machine.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you

Hi,
Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following:
1.
Disable simple file sharing on the Windows XP computer:
How to disable simple file sharing and how to set
permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP
2.
On the Windows 7 computer, go to “Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings” and ensure that the
following items are turned ON:
Network Discovery
File and printer sharing
And this one is OFF:
Password protected sharing
3.
Temporarily disable or remove all the security software (firewall, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc.) on the computers and check if it works.
In addition,
I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

How to edit a shared file on my Mac?

Hi,
Is it possible to edit a shared file on my Mac?
I know it is possible on the web, using Numbers/Pages/Keynote for iCloud Beta. But I was wondering if it is also possible to download and edit the file.
I think it is also important that the file automatically updates himself when edited on the Mac, so the other user could see my changes.
So I don't have to download the file --> edit it --> upload the file.
Hopefully there is a solution for this problem, otherwise I'm hoping this will come in the near-future!
Kind regards,
Berend

How do I use a flash drive on my mac
Since most flash drives are formatted for PC's rather than Macs, if you plan to use it only with a Mac, when it's plugged in, you can click on it in Disk Utility and partition it GUID and Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Note that if you've already got files stored on it, partitioning it will erase them.

How to find name of report if I know name of instance and location of instance in Output File Store

Hello all,
can somebody help me to find name of the report if I know name of report instance and also location of instance in Output File Store. It should be done via Query Builder.
It is ...rpt file as output from Crystal Reports. I tried few commands in Query Builder but usually they finished with timeout error.
Could you help me and send specific command? Or way how to change timeout of Query Builder?
Thanks.

Hello all,
We finally found solution.
We knew that file is located on path .../Output/a_145/009/002/133521/~ce10c.....9332.rtf
This file has more than 2 GB. We tried to find which report is related and provide necessary actions.
As I mentioned we still failed due to timeout error - There was an error retrieving data from the server: CMS operation timed out after 9 minutes.
So we tried to use our testing environment. We started there QueryBuilder and there we successfully tested that we found details about files from FileStore /like Name of the report in Launch Pad, CUID, ...
SELECT SI_NAME, SI_CUID, SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/a_148/020/000/5268/'
or
SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_FILES.SI_PATH = 'frs://Input/ a_148/020/000/5268/'
