Some help and questions on Pegasus R6

I am mid switch from a mac pro 2009 to a 2011 ultimate iMac with a thunderbolt display on a BOA II arm, I am looking at storage options, I have specced the SSD and 2TB drive, but I will use more, I have another 3 x3TB Hitachi's in the Mac Pro. I have bought an OWC enclosure to hold two of the drives, probably as JBOD as a backup. I want to buy the Pegasus R6, but need some help on RAID and how I can practically use it. I also have a Synology Ds1511+ and DX510 full of 2TB drives that we use for Media and time machine 9 and 4 TB respectively and growing!!! So I want a separate ultra fast storage for the iMac. I know its overkill for a personal machine but its my only vice!!!!!!
My questions are:
In Raid 5 then it would appear as one big disk, 9.7TB in the case of the R6?
Can I have individual folders within here, such as iTunes, crashplan backup, download storage?
Can I have two volumes within one R6?
Does anyone know if and when it was full, I could just replace the drives with 3TB drives, is it possible to upgrade them one by one, or do I have to start again?
If I want to backup a thunderbolt volume will it be seen by time machine?
Thanks in advance for any input.

Some problems and questions using OWB

For Igor or anyone who can help me :-)
Hello Igor,
Thanks for all your help concerning my mapping deployment problem! Now its working better ;-)
I used the OWB Runtime Assistant to create a new runtime target schema and i use the owner of this schema as user while logging to OWB.
Now i can create and deploy without problems mappings, tables, functions, procedures, packages, dimensions, views, materialized views, process flows (i have installed the Oracle Workflow Client 2.6.2.0.0 with OWF builder and OWF mailer ).
However I have still some problems and questions :-)
a) After deploying a mapping or process flow i can execute them from OWB Deployment Manager. How can i schedule the execution of a deployed precess without using OWBDM ? (I want to execute a process every day to perform ETL).
b) I think i have a problem deploying cubes. I create a cube in OWB, the validation is OK, the deploment succeds, but if i look with OEMC in the tree in the Warehouse OLAP section no cube is created. Only the fact tabe is created. If i look to the scripts from the Pre Deployment generation results i found DDLs only for TABLE, INDEX, UNIQUE KEY, FOREIGN KEY and ANALYZE object types, meanwhile during a dimension deployment i found also a DDL for the DIMENSION type object. WHY ?
c) If I look in the procedures of the new created OWB Runtime Target Schema I found 3 procedures which are in error and when I try to compile them I receive the following error messages :
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_CUBE
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWCUBELOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
- procedure WB_OLAP_LOAD_DIMENSION_GENUK
PLS-00201: identifier 'DBMS_AWM.CREATE_AWDIMLOAD_SPEC' must be declared
How can solve this problem? Is there any link with the fact that the cube is not generated?
d) When I first acces the deployed DIM in the OEMC tree I receive a message saying that the dimension does not have complete metadata as needed for use by Oracle OLAP services (because is created either in an earlier version of Oracle database or it was created by an an other application than OEMC) and OEMC automatically generates the default needed metadata. Is this normal ?
I work in an environment with
- Oracle 9i Database 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Client 9.2.0.1.0
- Oracle 9i Warehouse Builder Products 9.2.0.2.8

Some problems and questions

I have some problems and questions about my MSI MEGA PC 180 system...
One problem is that MSI live monitor only works one time after every new installation then is just say "The URL is invalid" every other time I try to search for updates.
One problem is that one of the fans doesn't turn off when I turn of the computer and the only way to get i to turn off is to turn on the hifi mode and turn it off then the fan stops. And some times the fan can start after a while when the computer has been turned off.
There are two fans for the cooling of the CPU but PCALERT only shows the speed of one of them.. why? according to the manual one of the is called CPU fan and the other one is called sysfan but only CPU fan showes i PCALERT.
Are there no other way to control the Tv other than with the Home Teather system than I find way to slow if you use 1280x1024 resolution on the screen like I do. And are there no way to sort and remove channels in home teather? As i is now I can't move the channels in the order I want and I can't remover channels that the auto search thaught was channels but aren't?
An other thing that I find annoying is that the fullscreen mode of home teather doens't cover all off the screen it doesn't hide the systray and leaves a small but annoying kolumn to the right that showes the backgrund and that is very annoying to watch tv if you have a light backgrund because the kolumn are so bright.

Welcome Kabbo,
I see you agree that MC III is far from perfect. Perhaps you can try the combination of Media Portal and Ir2Key. Just read some of the other posts including "WinIRX.ocx internals/usage" by ddookie. Another possibility is to try Dscaler, but this program is only for watching TV.
Regarding the processor fans: its normal that only one of the two shows up in PcAlert; when you look closely to both fans you'll see that one has only a two-wired connection.
The problem of a fan not shutting down is new to me, I suppose you have checked the connections to your mobo?

Airplay keeps disappearing... Need some help and insight...

Hello!
I just bought an ATV2, but it seems to be having trouble to provide the airplay function.
I have almost every kind of device that can connect to it, iPhone 4 (4.3.3), iPad 2 (4.3.5), Windows desktop (connected to the network via ethernet cable) and a MBP (Lion) connected wirelessly, both on the latest iTunes.
When airplay fails, which happens all the time, it fails on all this devices. Both my MBP and Windows desktop have automatic time set for Apple's servers, so does the ATV2.
Sometimes resetting the airplay functionality on the ATV2 (from on to off to on again) seems to do the trick, but only for about 10 minutes. Other times, I have to either reset the ATV2 or even the network router.
Could this be related to the router? I´m also having problems (already did before the ATV2) with homesharing. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t. I´m not sure what to do here, I´ve tried everything I could to try and at least narrow down the problem source, but I can´t.
Also, the ATV2 some times has problems connecting to my Apple account, giving me an error message, but seems to stay connected to youtube services, thus, to the internet.The ATV2 seems to be able to connect to the account again most times when I re-enter the details, but it has failed on occasion (I bought it yesterday, but have already tried so many things to solve the airplay that I´ve ran into this stuff many times during yesterday afternoon and today)
I´ve tried moving the ATV2 closer to the router, setting a fixed IP address on the ATV2 and the other devices, have the TCP/UDP 123 port opened, I don´t know what else to try.
I would really appreciate some help on this, something else to try. Can this be related to the router since I´m having homesharing problems too? Or can it be something wrong with my account at Apple (not that I think that matters for airplay, but I´m willing to try anything)
Thank you very much.

iStumbler isn´t currently working on Lion. KisMac doesn´t crash but can´t find any networks either.
When you say, try connecting with ethernet, you´re refering to connecting the ATV2 directly to the router with ethernet correct? That is a good idea, I didn´t remember to try that.
I did try changing the channels on the router, currently on 6, but I´m going to try to change to 1, 3 or 11 now.
I´m currently at a coffee shop, I came here to use their wireless network and try homesharing between my Mac and iPhone, which never or poorly works at home. So far its working flawless. Sometimes the iPhone takes a bit longer to reconnect to the shared library (for the icon to appear on the iPod app and then to open the selected library) then others, but in general, for the past hour and a half, its been connecting to the macbook without much trouble, hinting me that the problem at home lies indeed with the router.
Thank you

Need some help and guidance please!

Hi everyone,
I desperately need some help because I am at my wits end. In September I purchased a Compaq Presario CQ60-450US. Shortly after purchasing, I fresh installed Windows 7 Professional. Recently I decided to tried to dual boot ubuntu on the machine only to find that the installation failed because of CD read error. I know for a fact that the CD is not the issue because I have used this CD three other times to install ubuntu thus I came to the conclusion that the CD/DVD drive was bad.
I called HP support to get a new CD/DVD drive replaced only to spend 2 hours on the phone with a individual that decided to troubleshoot first trying to install ubuntu remotely (I informed the indiviual that the remote session would end), then by playing a DVD and "skipping throughout" the movie. He/she said that she could see no issue. (no diagnostic was run)I informed the individual that I had issues with buring as well. He/she proceeded to go online and install software asking me to demonstrate the issue after which the call got dropped mysteriously.
I called HP support back and told them that I am having an issue now burning. They proceed to connect remotely and look at the software the previous support individual downloaded and said that the software was not supported by HP. I informed the individual that I give permission to install any software needed to troubleshoot but the individual said that I could not be suppoted because I wasn't using the OS installed by HP. I was instructed to recover my machine to the OS that was installed with the machine if I was to continue to get support.
I informed the individual that the drivers and software are the same for either OS considering the CD/DVD rom is a plug and play device. The individual refused to help and told me I had lost my warranty because of my decision to install an OS directly from Microsoft or a third paper vendor.
That is where I stand. HP is refusing to give me support because I am not running their Vista Home edition even though my issue is hardware. I cannot find any warrent information stating that I need to have the original operating system installed on the machine to receive support. Can anyone point me to a reputable division that can help me with my issue? I feel I was just thrown aside so that they don't have to initiate a repair. If not has anyone filed a compalint against this outrageous support requirement?

Dear ndjumpball,
I would like to say that I have some good -- or at least encouraging -- advice. Regretfully, I do not. I had issues with my dv7 practically since purchasing it a year ago specifically so I would have a reliable computer for school. My first problem: I bought my laptop a mere 7 weeks before HP started offering their free upgrade to Windows 7. Consequently, I was forced to purchase the full installation retail or continue to deal with the wonton freezes and system failures that inevitably occurred while I was working on homework -- courtesy of HP's installation of Vista Home Premium 64-bit. Thankfully, I was able to purchase a copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit through a significant student discount offer from Microsoft, and I had my new OS downloaded the evening of October 23, 2009; I had to give their servers time to free up, since it seemed like everyone and their dogs were also downloading what the reviews posted on CNET and PC World touted as being more reliable. I recall (I can't remember exactly which site this appeared) the statement, "Windows 7 is what Vista should have been from the beginning."
I was all excited and happy now that I had a laptop for school that had everything I was looking for: decent size hard drive, a fair amount of RAM, great 17.3" display with awesome colors, and a CDRW/DVDRW/Blu-Ray disk drive in the bay. Not only was I very satisfied with the hardware; it also came with a decent host of software that are thought was pretty cool, too. It came with CyberLink's DVD Suite 6 that I could activate simply by touching a soft button above the keyboard. Aside from Vista Home Premium crashing on me at the most inopportune times, I was exceedingly happy with my $1000 purchase and investment. Then came the "upgrade" to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit...Because I didn't have a "compatible" version of Vista, I had to do a full ("custom") install. In other words, I lost all of the cool features I originally bought the machine for in the first place...no more cool one-finger's brush software activation (still don't have that working), and HP Chat Support told me the same thing they told you. The following is a direct copy/paste quote from an email response I received from HP Total Care: "In order to help you relevantly I would like to request you to please revert back to Vista operating system and check whether the issue is persisting or not. If the issue is still persisting after reverting the operating system back to vista then we need to perform system recovery."
After pursuing my case for 6 months -- finally getting my case escalated to two HP Customer Care Case Managers in Texas/Oklahoma -- the best "customer support" I received was what I'm sure was a truly heartfelt and sincere apology... Oh, neither case manager was "able" to send me either the true upgrade disks that would have preserved the features purchased, nor were they willing to send me a stand-alone installation of the CyberLink’s DVD Suite 6 that is currently offered with the HP Pavilion dv6t Quad Edition series. (In massive frustration and anger, I bought the CyberLink’s DVD software - $100 I didn't have to spend on something I had already bought...)
A month later (late March), MY CD-RW/DVD-RW/Blu-Ray drive stopped working. After an hour online with Customer Care, I had finally convinced the rep that the drive was working fine after my ditching Vista Home Premium, and that its failure had absolutely nothing to do with Windows 7 Pro. After giving the guy my credit card number as security, I had a replacement drive shipped to me.
My personal recommendation: clearly state that the hardware failure had nothing to do with whatever software or OS you chose to install. Bottom line: your computer is only 8 months old and is still covered under warranty, they can replace the defective part, or you can return the entire machine. You probably want to be the "Nice Guy" but you need to remind them that you have other brands available to purchase.
I don't know if that helps or not, but thank you for giving me the opportunity to vent! :-)

We need to get some help and explanations about iChat video not working.

I've read so many postings about iChat Video hoping for an answer to my problem, but not only did I not find an answer, no one else has been receiving an answer either.
I've had multiple problems with my ichat video not working.
I either get an error saying someone didn't accept which isn't the case, or I get some error-8 or something ridiculous like that.
Can we get some help from apple support or something?!

Short answer: No, we can´t...!
Apple don´t care about us users, unless you pay for an Apple Care Service. Try your best to follow some advices from around this forum. That´s the only help you will get.
Some people have got their iChat video working again after following some advice. By the way. I´m not one of them... I´ve tried every single tip I read here, but I´m still stuck with text chat only...
Good luck.

A very new user needs some help and advice....

Hi,
I have just taken the bold leap into Indesign and this is the first day of my 30 day trial.
I need help and advice from you good poeple...please.
I have been successfully creating A5 booklets (folded A4) using MS Word and printing to a desktop printer. MS Word sorted out my page order for me at printing time so the correct pages were put together.
I have been reading as much information as I could find but I am still unable to do the same in Indesign.
I'm looking forward to using the advanced layout features and having control over what I do but, I need to work out this basic step before I go any further.
I hope what I have explained makes sense.
Regards
John

So presumably you create a new document, A5 portrait, facing pages. Make sure your ducument page count is a multiple of 4.
Create, type, tweak, ponder, edit, smile, save.
To create you booklet using InDesign, from the file menu select Print Booklet.
You will probably need to jump back and forth from the Print Settings button adjusting Paper Size, Orientation, Color, and from the Print Booklet tab set for 2-up Saddle Stitch.
Much has been posted on this topic, these are the basics, Print Booklet is not the best module Adobe ever wrote, IMO

Help and questions with a belkin router

so I am new to wireless networking. I bought a Belkin MIMO router, the connection is great. Took phone support to help with set up because not as straight forward as I thought it would be. My only concern is: When I tried to set up WEP encryption my mac wouldn't recognize the password...
.in the end the tech guy said not to use a password.
Question 1: Anybody have problems with setting up a password with a belkin router?
Question 2: does this mean anyone who can see my network can ride along for free?
Question3: does this mean people can see what sites I am using (like bank sites)
The tech support said there was built in firewall and was enough protection. Is there something I should be doing on my mac as well?
I don't mind so much others 'using' my connection. I just want it secure. I am soon ridding of wired PC so i will do banking online and want protection.....
(BTW I am also considering getting a belkin with USB port for my printer to print wireless with my mac laptop)
TIA

If you do not setup a password, then your network is open for everyone to access - which is a bad thing in case you are wondering. Try using your password, but put a "$" in front of it. Some users have reported problems setting up WEP and sometimes adding that "$" works for some reason.
As far as using that Canon printer wirelessly, if you have it connected to another computer, then you can print to it using printer sharing with no problems at all. If you want to have it free standing with no Mac/PC connected to it, then you will have to either get a wireless print server for it, go with Bluetooth, or use Apple's Airport which has a built-in print server.
Since you already have the router, then using another PC as the print server or getting a print server is probably the way to go.

Before We Buy - HELP AND QUESTIONS

Hello all,
I am in a tight spot at my office with my boss who knows absolutely NOTHING about Macs let alone how large the files we work on are from day to day. To make a long story short he is bent on us backing up to the network servers nightly. His belief is that if something happens we could magically go to any office and plug a machine in and have access to all our files needed to start working again.
I have TRIED my best to explain that is simply CAN NOT HAPPEN the same way a little ole PC office worker does. They work on super small Word files directly off of a server. They can sit down and login to any PC with a network connection then call up the little help desk and they click a few buttons and BOOM they are back to working.
IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY FOR US. Not because we are on Macs but because the nature of what we do ON the Mac. I can't even imagine trying to connect to a server and work on a file that is upwards of 1.5 gig!
If anyone is out there who could help me get this point across that would be SO helpful. I am at an utter loss as to what to do. I can't make any one here understand that we just don't and can't work the same way. I don't even know where to start to offer an option. They (being our IT people) don't ever want to work with us anyway.
Anyway I'm just frustrated. If any one has run into this where you work and could offer a solution or ANYWAY it would be helpful!
Thanks
Jenny

Dave,
Thanks for replying and I'm happy to answer you questions!
First let me explain the current backup solution but first understand we have always been "outcast" because we are 6 Macs in a PC world over well over 4,000. In fact at times it was so bad that we had to use the web version of our companies mail because no one could or would offer any support for us. But slowly I've managed to work these issues out by simply trail and error on our own part.
Okay so back to your questions...
CURRENT BACKUP SOLUTION:
Each designer has 4 folders on a second HD within their machine - Completed, Working, Resources and Personal.
The Completed folder is for projects that have been closed and are ready for completion and archiving.
The Working folder is for projects currently active.
The Resources folder is for files such as our company logos, fonts, forms, reference files, downloads for projects, etc.
The Personal folder is anything you might need or house on your computer that is NOT part of project (ex: Year End Employee Review). Basically this folder is considered off limits to any but the user.
NOW...
The COMPLETED folder gets backup to DVD and cataloged then stored in a cabinet by year/month. Then the contents are archived on a network server by year/user (ex: 2008>JENNY>PROJECT CODE.....etc). This scheme works okay because it means that we have those completed projects in two locations - one offsite and one on disk. The issue here is two fold firstly the user (designers) must take part in backing up their files and archiving per our guidelines.
OKAY...
Here's the issue I've got. I have yet to find a GOOD SOLID solution to back up the 3 (not the Personal although I wouldn't care).
I've tried Syncronize Pro, Carbon Copy Cloner, Retrospect, etc. For some reason there is ALWAYS an issue. Either I can't get it connect properly to our network so it hangs up overnight and nothing is backed or it just has too many options and never works simply across the 6 computers.
MY CURRENT TRIALS...
First, I've been using CCC to create a disk image of my entire second HD each morning my computer starts at 7:30am. By the time I get into work its backed up my files from the previous day. This works fine.
Second, I'm using Syncronize from our Share Mac to mount my machine and grab that single disk image and place into a backup folder. I've had to do this after I get into work to make sure it doesn't time out and not mount my machine properly.
Finally, MANUALLY I take the disk images Syncronize has collected and put them on the server. I can't use CCC or Retrospect because I don't have ANY access to the server side. Syncronize works about 50% of the time over the network but it will error out over some of the files (I DON'T KNOW WHY!).
This all works OK but just OK. It's still cumbersome!
I guess my biggest issue is getting IT to help us with the server side issues (mostly give us more space - they are CONSTANTLY moving our files around on us) and more times then not a file we pull down from the server loses its brain...so it has to be manually opened and resaved or it doesn't work (that's a whole other issue).
My other biggest issue is getting my boss to understand that no matter WHAT I do, in the event of a disaster these 6 Mac people can't go buy a new machine, sit down in front of it, mount a server from within the network, and work as if nothing happened. It would take days if not weeks to recover and rebuild.
Here's where this is coming from. A few years ago the building lost all power due to an ice storm. 2 days into it we finally got access to go up our offices and get our machines. Then each person took it home and worked there. HOWEVER, all the PC people just went to different location with VPN access or worked from another branch (we're a bank). All was lovely and seemless for them.
Anyway. I don't know I just get frustrated some days with the attitude of like... well WHY... you know just do it... just push that button and make it work!
Thanks again!
Jenny

Msi gt70 with some issues and questions answer asap thanks

my first issue is my ssd it is just too small how do I increase it probably a step by step link to where I can purchase and learn how to install it second of all I really need my msi burn recovery so my f3 does not work anymore, I have my drivers cd but that doesn't have it, the next issue is softwares I use when the render the use my ssd and that makes them seriously slow the need more memory space I wish I could make them use the bigger harddrive at least for the main time till I get a new one, my soft keys work except eject and wireless off all others work

Wow.....
Well, first off, try and use some periods here and there. Or a list. Something to atleast break things up in a coherent manner.
So, you want a guide on how to install another SSD. That's a pretty complex matter, judging by what I can get out of your post, your technical prowess may not be where it needs to be in order to do that.
Also, without knowing what you currently have, other than it is a GT70, it really makes it difficult to tell you what to get.
As far as your software, I'm sorry, but there really isn't any way to help you since you seem to have not made the recovery disks like you were supposed to. I would contact MSI for more information on how to proceed at this point.
After we get the above sorted, we can work on your other questions.

Some help and advice please

I'm a co-op student interning at a company, and recently one of my supervisors came to me with a little project. I am given a java application and he would like to find some way of turning it into a web application (so that our clients can use this app online on our website). To give a brief description of the java app, it takes in a text file from the user, goes through it line by line looking for any duplicate or invalid entries, and then produce 2 output text files. One with the entries from the original file, only resorted and placed in a particular order (minus the duplicate or invalid entries), and the other is a log file, which is written with any duplicate or invalid entries found. These two output files are saved onto the computer (in the same place as the input file).
I have the entire source code for this app, done with a GUI interface. I am just not sure what or how to convert this into a web app. It seems like my supervisor just wants to find a way to make this same app work online, so that, as I mentioned, our clients can use when they visit our website. From reading around online, I found 2 choices that seem to work, either JSP or Java Web Start. Which would be a better choice? Or is there another choice? I have IBM Websphere Application Developer to work on this, and I would appreciate any help that anyone can give me. Thanks in advance.

Java Web start is a method of distributing an application via the Web. It doesn't magically transform your application into a web-based app; the user still needs to download the entire application; and it is run locally on their machine.
JSP will run most of the processing load on your server, which might be a better idea.

Formatting help and questions

Hi,
My daughter has an iMac G4 17" FP. She wants to get rid of it and get a MacBook.
Before we sell it I want to format the hard drive and reinstall her OS. I would guess she has a disk that came with it that has the OS on it and I would use that to reinstall the OS back and then download the updates that are out there.
That way all her files and things are wiped out and we are selling something with no info on and a fresh install of the OS.
Being a windows person (please don't hold that against me) and not knowing how to do all this can you lead me to something that would give me step by step on how to accomplish this?
Also before I do that she has an external HD the connect by USB or Firewire and I want to format that and transfer her pictures, music, and files to the external HD so she can copy them over to her MacBook.
Also any information or direction to step by step instructions would be helpful.
Who knows. By the time I get done I may want a Mac.
Thanks

Hello Johnnieroman,
This is what I would do. Others may have other options....
Use some thing like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper ( links at the bottom of this message ) to clone the entire contents of that iMac to the external drive.
Use the install disks that came with the computer to " erase and install " that version of OS X on the iMac.
Complete all the software updates.
Erase free space using Disk Utilities from here...
Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > Erase.
Now you should have a complete and total copy of what was on the iMac and the iMac is sold.
Buy the MacBook.
Use Migration Assistant to copy the files and folders to the new computer... Job done!
( I think !? )
CCC...
Carbon Copy Cloner
SD...
Super Duper
Hope that helps some.
Regards
Ian

Some prefs and questions

I am trying to maximize the iCal window and get a dialogue box for the new events instead of it opening the info pane...does anyone know how to do this?
Also, I manage about 10 calendars, is there a way to have colors not repeat...it's kind of confusing when you see 2 completely different events, such as hockey games and work times in the same color...

As far as your second question is concerned, if you select one of you calendars with the info pane open you will notice a small box with that calendars color in it (it will have two arrows next to it). Click on that colored box and select "other..." to create a custom color.
Hope that helps.

Resizing and editing Components Design - Some problems and questions at CQ5

Hello everyone,
I'm building a website application following the http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/howto/website_quick.html guide (using the cq 5.5). The thing is, when I drop an image component on the site and drop some image into this one, the component resize my image. Even if I double click the image component and change the size, there's kind of a "maximum" size. I don't wanna change this one by css properties because if my user change the picture or drop a new one in the page, the change will not be applied to this new one.
So, my question is, there's a way to configure the component to get the size i'm inputing on the dialog, without "limits"? Below some images of what i'm doing.
The second problem I found is with the "text & image component". I've inserted the "right" alignment for the image in the styles tab, but the image stays on top of the text, and there's nothing I can do to solve this in the input dialog. Don't wanna use the css for the same reason that I've explained before.
All the components are imported from fundation.
So, there is something I can do to change the design of my components?
Thanks in advance,
Matheus de Oliveira.

For the issue you are having with the maximum size there are couple of possiblity.
The firstpossiblity is that your CSS is enforcing a maximum size. So to check this take the src from you img tag and put in a browser and see if you get the original size or not. If you get the right size when viewing the image URL than you do in the page than the issue is CSS. Depending on how you have designed your site's CSS there might be any number reasons it's limiting the image size but whatever the reason it's an implementation question.
The second option is that design mode of the image component. The default install has a maximum image size set in design mode of the image component. Switch your page to design mode and verify that the maximum image size is not set in the design dialog.
A final option is that the DAM is enforcing the maximum size. In CQ 5.5 the default configuration is to create a web ready rendition with a maximum height and width fo 1200 x 1200. The out of the box components and the out of the box image rendering script will use this web ready rendition if it is present rather than the original image.
To check if this is your problem do the following:
Go to the workflow model console and edit the Update Dam Asset workflow.
Delete the step in the workflow named Web Ready Rendition
Upload a new image that is larger than 1200 x 1200 to the DAM
Try and use that image in an image component - it should display at the original size.
