Trying to Disable LUN Masking under 1.5.1

Hi,
I have an Apple XServe Raid with 7x750Gb drives. The array is configured with three slices which would mean three LUNs. Even though Lun Masking is no longer an option in 1.5.1 it still shows up as enabled on the XServe Raid. Non of the luns are visible to the connected host. There is no switch involved.
How can I disable Lun Masking under 1.5.1?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello nosajesahc, and welcome to the Appleboards,
Do you have a copy of the the Admin Tool version 1.5? LUN Masking was present in that version of the tool and think you should be able to turn it off and the resume using the current version.

  • LUN masking on or off?

    Hello, may be this is stupid question.
    Since yesterday, I used only one disk array on the right side of XServe Raid. I created raid5 array on left side, but this array is not visible on my xserve. New array is online and I have last firmware on both controllers also. How can I arrange this? I tried it with LUN Masking enabled and disabled on both controllers, but was not successful. XServe RAID is connected to xserveG4 only - both fiberchannel cables are connected to one machine. Enclosure is first generation XServe RAID.
    Thanks for info.

    Have you tried shutting everything down and powering up your XServe G4 first, then once it's up powering up your RAID? Or vice versa? It tends to get moody if you don't do it in the right order.

  • Lun Masking

    Hello
    I have an xserve raid (firmware 1.5.1/1.5.1.c) configured with 3 slices and Lun Masking which 3 xserves connect to. They are all attached to a qlogic fc switch.
    Recently the company bought 2 more servers to support another area and they need them to mount 2 of the slices. I added the WWN to the corresponding zoneset in the switch, and added the WWN to the lun masking configuration (using raid admin 1.5) and i got the volumes mounted in the new servers.
    The next day i recieve a phone call asking me to switch the volumes from the servers, slice 2 to server 4 and slice 1 to server 5. After making the appropiate changes in server admin and rebooting the servers the volumes in both servers would not mount. In Disk Utility i can see the volume and the corresponding raid slices, however Disk Utility tells me they are degraded and that i should run first aid on the disk. The first aid does nothing to get the volume mounted on the servers.
    If i put the lun masking settings back (slice 1 to server 4) it mounts without a problem. Is there a cache on the lun masking settings? Is it the firmware version? a downgrade and upgrade perhaps?
    If anyone has encountered something similar, any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hello William
    I did reboot the hosts. At least the 2 i'm trying to get the volume to mount. The other 3 server that also use that raid, i can't reboot them, at least not during the daytime, since they are in production.
    I did reboot the raid and the hosts.

  • LUN masking and zoning question.

    Hi all,
    If my storage array presents a number of LUNs/LDEVs down two physical fibre cables which are outputs from the primary and secondary controllers, and those two cables are ports on the MDS switches, do you need to know the LUN number as it was created on the array?
    I read the Fabric Manager Configuration Guide and it talks about LUN masking at the array. It says to check the Check LUN box. I have not tried this so I was wondering if the LUNs on the array will appear for me to select. If there are say 8 LUNs presented (4 primary and 4 secondary), are they visible when using this option?
    I have a fair sized number of new blades with HBA's with dual ports that need to connect to a large HP array. The setup will be one path goes from a 9216 to a 9509 via port channels (and another path through a similiar setup) to the HP array which will be presenting LUNs through LUN masking to the individual WWN's of the blade HBAs ports. There will be literally hundreds of LUNS coming out of the array so if they are presented in Fabric Manager, it would make my life easier especially when the array is looked after by HP and they might not be around when I start configuring the SAN.
    Thats the joy of outsourcing.
    Any help would be very welcome.
    Regards
    Stephen

    Finding out what LUNs are available is done via SCSI commands INQUIRY and REPORT_LUNS. In general, having the MDS discover the luns is not done since the MDS does not need to know. The end devices that are zoned and configured in the array's LUN security will need to know and they will use the two above frames to find this info out. The check luns checkbox that you reference is when doing LUN zoning (which is part of Enterprise license). In fact, the manner in which we are able to zone based upon a LUN is by trapping and manipulating the REPORT_LUNS frame. A generic implementation is to simply zone an initiator and a target via their PWWN's. Then, in the array, there is a security mechanism that allows the PWWN of a device to access a particular LUN. That LUN is then associated with a particular volume of disk space. However, we offer the capability to zone with the granularity of the LUN/PWWN combination if you so desire it.

  • Quicktime 7 crashes when saving with mask under 10.7

    I'm trying to make a time lapse movie from a large folder of images, but have run into a nasty apparent bug with QuickTime 7 Pro that I did not have the last time I tried to do the same thing.  I'm hoping someone knows of a workaround other than reverting to 10.6.
    The workflow I'm attempting:
    Open JPEGs as an image sequence.
    Apply a 16:9 mask to the image sequence to crop it (I want to crop off-center, so I can't just set export size).
    Save as Intermediate at >1080p resolution, to leave room for stabilization without quality degredation.
    Run stabilization routine.
    Export as 1080p.
    The problem:  Step 3 crashes 100% of the time, regardless of settings--so long as there is a mask added, it WILL crash.
    I've tried various resolutions and mask sizes, all the way down to SD range.  The mask applies just fine to the movie--it crops to the desired ratio--but as soon as you hit command-S, crash.  Try to export, same thing as soon as you click the Save button.  Export for web, same thing.  100% repeatable on both my 1st gen i7 iMac, and current-gen MBP 17".
    It's particularly frustrating, because I know this worked just fine the last time I tried it a bit over a year ago under 10.6.  Unfortunatley for me, I'm also under a deadline, and don't have a handy 10.6 install right now.
    If anyone knows of a workaround for this (or any easy way to do the same thing without buying additional software), I'd hugely appreciate the help!

I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

    If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

  • Trying to add another DB under SCAN via DBCA "Default listener LISTENER is not Configured in the grid infrastructure home"

    Trying to install another DB under RAC using SCAN listener on a new port.  DBCA gives error "Default listener LISTENER is not Configured in the grid infrasturcture home".
    Have tried srvctl config listener, srvctl start listener to start the listener.  Still not able to get past the DBCA error.  What am I missing?  Do not want to start LISTENER on port 1521 as SCAN is running on 1521.

    No your Database config does use hostname/ip + port or a tns-entry pointing to the local_listener. Neither method does care for the home the listener is running from.
    You will however have to take care of the entries in the clusterware, as the listener is a controlled resource. If you manually relocate it, then it will only work until next restart of crs stack.
    The simplest way to switch the home is by running first netca from database home and delete the listener and then switch to grid home run netca again and create the listener.
    netca will take care of registering it with crs with the correct environment settings. You will have a short period where your rac won't have a listener and therefore won't accept new connections until the new listener is up and running.
    Relocating the current listener requires to modify several parameters via crsctl in the cluster registry, but allows doing this node by node without complete outage.
    If you want to go that way, then create another listener from grid home and compare the settings of current listener and of the new listener. You will need to update several parameter before you can relocate it.
    Run this command to show the current settings and compare it to the listener from grid home:
    crsctl stat res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -p
    You will need to modify serveral parameters, ACTION_SCRIPT,AGENT_FILENAME,ALIAS_NAME,ORACLE_HOME and the ACL
    Modify works like this, for ACL you must use the encasing single apostrophe ' and run it as root:
    crsctl modify res ora.LISTENER.lsnr -attr "ACL='owner:oracle:rwx,pgrp:oinstall:rwx,other::r--'"
    I would recommend Version 1 if short outage is acceptable. For both variants verify that you can resolve all tnsnames entries in both homes.

  • Facing issue while trying to disable automatic discovery of devices through Apple Bonjour

    Hi All,
    I am facing issue while trying to disable automatic discovery of devices through Apple Bonjour.
    Background: Whenever our application is in running state, devices are automatically discovered if it connects to PC. We are using Apple Bonjour's auto discovery technology( mdnsresponder ).
    We are registering a particular service type by using DNS API "DNSServiceRegister". Service type is getting registered properly and we are able to discovered that particular type of device.
    Platform:  Windows 7.0 / MAC 10.8
    Issue:
    But we are facing issue while trying to disable auto discovery of a device programmatically. i.e, unregistered a service reference programmatically from our windows application.
    To unregistered a service we are using "DNSServiceRefDeallocate" DNS API. But looks like it is not working properly.
    Is this DNS API “DNSServiceRefDeallocate” is correct one to unregistered the service?
    Here is the step by step procedure that we are following to de-allocate a service reference:
    1.Browsing / Query a service by using service type to get service reference (DNSServiceRef). 
    2.Get reference socket FD by using DNS API "DNSServiceRefSockFD".  
    3.Select a socket by using "select" API.
    4.Close the socket that we got from step 2 by closesocket().
    5.Delete the service reference by using DNS API "DNSServiceRefDeallocate" and service reference from step 1.
    Are we missing any step to unregistered a service?

    Original problem I noticed was that regular websites I go to (such as msn) were only partially downloading.  I could see the text on the site but no pictures or videos.  All web surfing was extremely slow.  When I would go to a site such as man I would see another address in the lower left corner for "ads1.msads.net" or "cdn.optimizely.com" that is was trying to connect to. I tried using all three of my browsers (firefox, safari, chrome) and got the same response on all browsers.  After I spent some time researching the issue I decided I probably had a adware/malware problem so I decided to try adwaremedic.com.  I could also not access that site along with thesafemac.com or apple.com.  I was also getting the same response on my other devices (iPhone, iPad, and a mac air).  I could not access any of these sites on any of my devices although I could get to almost any other site although it was very slow.  At that point I decided to unplug the router.  I also did a number of other things before then to try and manually get rid of any adware.  Eventually I got msn back working, apple.com, and the speed was much faster.  But, I still can not access adwaremedic and thesafemac.com.  I could access these on my phone with 3G but not on my wifi.  This is where the problem still stands.  I am sure I still have some adware on my computer and need to find a way to remove it.  I am no techie so the complicated manual fixes are difficult for me to do.

    why don't my apps automaticaly update? i keep trying to turn it on under settings but it will not stay on

    Sounds like we have a similar problem.  Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine.  Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black.  I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there.  However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do.  The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died.  The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either.  Took to Verizon, they couldn't help.  Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues!  One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone.  Just wouldn't work at all.  Did everything suggest and still not good.  Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days.  Very strange, and all on the 5C.  What did you do?  Is it working now?

  • So, what happened to LUN Masking

    I noticed in the release notes for the new firmware update (1.5.1) for the Xserve RAID that LUN masking has been removed from the RAID Admin utility...
    And low and behold... yup... it's not in the admin utility anymore... anywhere...
    So, what's with the removing of a pretty important feature with a minor revision?
    everything...   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I'm not sure what your IT background is, but LUN masking in a storage environment is NOT an advanced feature, and the concept of hardware RAID is common in any serious server platform.
    "Advanced" need not equate to complexity, enter Apple.
    Regardless, it is simply unacceptable to remove a core functionality you've provided since the inception of a product with no advance notification that said functionality is going to be removed, and no documentation other than "Removed LUN Masking from Advanced tab" when it does happen.
    So Apple needs to charge $1.99 to enable previously shipped Core 2 Macs to use Wireless-N, in order to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley. Okay, fair enough. So how much $ is Apple going to give back to me per Xserve RAID that my company has purchased, since we paid for functionality that they're now taking away? Just some food for thought.
    And yes, I have notified both my enterprise account rep and my field engineer of my disatisfaction with this issue. I'm an Apple fan-boy, and even I think this is ridiculous on Apple's part.

    Check the age of the files you wish to open.
    Keynote 6 (the latest you downloaded) will opne Keynote 5 (KN09) files but nothing earlier. For that KN5 will act as an intermediate format (you save KN4 and earlier as KN5), then KN6 can open the resultanr files.
    Make sure you have a backup of your original files, in case KN6 cannot replicate some of your earlier builds and transitions.
