Trying to unload a Sun Server & 720 Gig RAID

Trying not to be too obnoxious about this, but...
I was trying to get an venture off the ground and it fell through. Spent alot of time on these boards as I got Oracle running on Linux then Solaris. I now have a 4 CPU / 4 gig sun server an a 720 gig RAID collecting dust in my basement and my wallet is significantly lighter. If anyone is interested in picking up some fully operational equipment, let me know. I will sell it for much less than it is currently listed if I get to the end of the auction without any bids.

Sorry for the spam. I am not a company selling products, just a shithead out a bucket of $ with a server in my basement.

Ina dddition to some config errors, It appears that your server is not communicating with the cluster admin. Verify that you can communicate via http to the port that your admin server is running the console application on. You may need to start your admin server manually if its not configured to look for that particular adress you can do this with the following command.

    I'd recommend that you not use the JDBC-ODBC bridge driver to connect to SQL Server. M$ and jTDS are two free type IV JDBC drivers that you should use instead. Put those JARs in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
    The database URL you're using is not correct if you change drivers. Consult the docs to find out what the proper syntax is.

    I m running JSF framework icefaces implememntation

    Hi:
    After some days and several test I discover the solution.
    I'm using Unicodes in the messages text (like \u00e9, \u00e1) and due to a typing mistake, in just a word the sequence \u00es appears instead of \u00e9.
    It seems \u00es is not a valid Unicode code and that was the cause of this particular error.
    I think this kind of message error must change depending which web server is used.
    As i said, i'm using the embedded oc4j server.
    Bye.

  • Oracle VM 3 with SUN SERVER X3

    Dear All Experts,
    Is it possible to run Oracle VM 3 with SUN SERVER X3 has only 2 hard disks using local storage?
    If can, how to do it? please kindly share this experience?
    Thanks and regards,
    Vandy

    Booting to a USB-thumb-drive won't be a redundant OS mirror but that sounds like a good idea & that would be one way to do it. Solid State USB drives are likely more reliable than HDD but they do also fail (or maybe wear out & become read-only). Worst case you hopefully could just reinstall the OS on a new USB and your data would still be recoverable.
    Speaking of adding disks, if the BIOS/MB supports it you may also be able to add a USB-3.0 HDD. USB-2.0 may also be an option but would be slower. For my Dev environment I added multiple USB-3.0 7200rpm 4TB drives and they give me some piece of mind and provide decent performance for backups for my Dev environment (I clone to them to give extra layer of back up).
    I don't know if you can mirror 2 USB drives nor have I tried removing them and rotating them but both might be options (haven't though much about nor tried to do either yet).

  • Cannot find any information on this Sun Server I just got

    Hi, Just got this Sun Server and I cant find in the Sun knowledgebase or support section.
    The box is approx 50cm x 50 cm and 6cm high.
    On the back it has 2 Network ports, Lom Serial A & B ports and a pci card with 4 Lan ports.
    Font face plate states Webshield eppliance.
    Label on back states: Compliance model number: FJ1A and Part Number 263-0819-01.
    I have tried hookin up to the serial port with a RJ45 to db9 cable but nothing happens. Perhaps I have the wrong terminal settings entered.
    Maybe this unit is known by another name. I would really like to find all the relevant user guides and how-to documents though.
    Any help appreciated.
    Henyak

    A brief Google search suggests that Network Associates may have acquired a bunch of systems and remanufactured and re-labelled them as their own product. That means it no longer would be a Sun system, but is a Network Associates' product.
    If indeed it is a 1U formfactor as you described, then the closest comparable Sun system might be the Netra T1 105 (360MHz or possibly 440MHz cpu).
    Go to Docs.Sun.Com and get the T1 105's documentation and see if you can make it work.
    I hope you didn't pay very much - in fact almost nothing.
    It's old and slow.
    Solaris 8 would be about the newest OS that wouldn't burden it with overhead.

    Also, why is the 1.2 jre involved? You wrote that you've added an orb.properties file, in

    I think that, for what you are trying to do, it might work better that you run in 1.2.
    In 1.3, you may also need to reset the property value for javax.rmi.CORBA.UtilClass and javax.rmi.CORBA.PortableRemoteObjectClass. If these are weblogic classes, set them to com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.CORBA.Util and com.sun.corba.se.internal.javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject, respectively. In
    1.3, we set them to to classes that only work to support our implementation of rmi-iiop.

    If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

  • Trying to setup new iCloud in system preferences and get error message: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."

    Here's the sequence of events:
    Setting up a new iMac.
    Migration Assistant was aborted during setup and a normal setup was completed.
    Then ran Migration Assistant from the newly setup account.
    It ran fine, but put all the data in a new account called "user".
    Renamed "user" to a new name, renamed the home folder to a new name following these instructions: OS X: How to change your account name or home directory name
    Delete the account we originally created, so just have one account with the name we want and all the data, email. Works fine.
    Sign into the App Store with the account we share for purchases.
    Now, the problem:
    Go to System Preferences to setup iCloud with a new Apple ID
    Get this error: "iCloud encountered an error while trying to connect to the server."
    So I'm unable to setup iCloud for photo stream, FaceTime, etc.
    Internet works fine, we can get mail, etc.
    Rebooting doesn't help
    Ideas?

    never mind the problem is gone this morning.

  • A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server.

    Hello All,
    I am getting some new error messages when opening the server app on my Mac Mini server running OS X 10.8.2 and Server 2.2.1. First I get a message that says "A network error occurred while trying to communicate with the server." and then after trying to open some of the service panes, I get additional errors that say "Multiple errors occurred on the server while processing commands." The services don't load and I just see "Error Reading Settings" in the server app.
    I started to get these errors when I added a new website to the server. All the services are working fine but I cannot access them in the server app.
    In console I'm seeing these errors when I try to access various services:
    2/24/13 8:02:12.692 PM Server[956]: Error: The server '10.0.1.150' reported an error while processing a command of type: 'readSettings' in plug-in: 'servermgr_dns'.

    I have already restarted the server and used terminal to stop and start postgres. Any more thoughts on how to repair this?

    Just as I had suspected, the whole GUI crashed because of certificate problems. After two and a half hours with enterprise support, it turns out the com.apple.servermgrd certificate in the server keychain had become corrupt.
    We determined this by typing https://127.0.0.1:311 into Safari and we could see all the server modules and interact with them through the web interface. All the services were working properly as well so we knew that it was just the Server.app GUI that simply couldn't read settings that was causing the problem.
    So, first we closed the server app. Went into /var/servermgrd and deleted all the files from this folder. Then, in Keychain, deleted the com.apple.servermgrd certificate. Did a search for com.apple.servermgrd in Keychain and deleted everything else that came up for it.
    Then restarted the server. Now the server app was able to properly connect to the services in the background and read them properly. This was the jist of the troubleshooting that solved the problem. It also seems like DNS is causing problems because that is the only service that will not read right but is functioning properly in the background.
    I will post an update once Apple figures out what is wrong with DNS. Hope this helps anybody else having these problems.

  • How do I stop InDesign from trying to connect with a server?

    I have a huge problem, either with InDesign or Apple I am not sure.
    Basically when I bring my computer home from work every time I open InDesing it tries to connect to a server and I get this error message: the server XXX.local may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
    Why is InDesign trying connect to a server? Photoshop and Illustrator work perfectly well and function as a normal program. Indesign has no reason to do this as it shouldn't need to work through a server.
    I get this error message and once I have dismissed it, it comes back after a few seconds and then stalls my computer again.
    I really hope that someone can give me some idea of what is happening because the support in my country have not been at all helpful.

    CS5. I have been working with this program for over 10 years and I have never seen this before. I only have this problem at home and not at working. The drive it is trying to access is the timecapsule.local. As I said it is only with InDesign and all the other bundle programs are fine. It is not a pay per month and is a legitimately licensed business subscription.

  • IMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network.

    iMac is trying to connect to a server that no longer exist on my network - I am looking for a solution to stop the error messages showing up. For instance, I have a contact in the address book that I need to change his picture and when I try to do that, for some reason, the server where the pics were stored appears as unavailble. The error message is not going away until the aplication is being closed.
    Appreciate any feedbacks.
    Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    1. If you use iCloud, uncheck the box marked Contacts in the iCloud preference pane. Press return to confirm, or click Keep on Mac in the dialog that opens.
    2. From the list of groups on the left side of the Contacts window, select All On My Mac. If that group doesn't exist or is empty, skip this step. Otherwise, from the menu bar, select
    File ▹ Export ▹ Export vCard
    Save the exported contacts to the Desktop.
    3. Quit Contacts. Triple-click the text on the line below to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return.
    A Finder window will open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Desktop, leaving the window open for now.
    4. Launch Contacts. Your contacts will be gone. If you took Step 2, then from the menu bar, select
    File ▹ Import
    and import from the file you exported. Your contacts will reappear.
    5. Re-enable Contacts in the iCloud preference pane, if you disabled it. Test. If the issue is resolved, delete the AddressBook folder and the vCard file on the Desktop and close the open folder window.
    Otherwise, quit Contacts again and put the AddressBook folder back where it was, overwriting the newer one that will have been created in its place. Post your results.

  • Mac keeps trying to connect to a server when opening excel

    i worked for a week at a production house and they had me log into their server to access files that we all used.  obviously i forgot to eject their server before i left and instead just closed my computer and left.  now, since Lion makes all documents that were left open restore automatically my mac keeps trying to load a spreadsheet that i was reading off the server but obviously i'm not connected to said server anymore.  and i won't ever again. 
    how can i stop my mac from trying to connect to this server?  also, is there a way to stop Lion from auto restoring?
    thanks, all!

    Well, I was hoping that if you remove all traces of recently opened documents to resume and you disable the resume, then Excel would not try any longer to connect to the server.
    One more question: is Excel trying to reach the server when you start your system or when you launch Excel?
    If it happens at start up, then have a look, if Excel has been added to the start up items (System preferences -> accounts -> your account -> start up items) and remove it.
         Quit Excel (with Option + Command + Q) if it is open and remove the loginwindow preferences: Navigate to Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.loginwindow.[xxxxxxxxx].plist
    The [xxxxxxxx] represent some interminable string of numbers and letters.
    If it happens at launch time, move the Excel preference file to the Desktop before you launch Excel. The file is locate here:
    /Users/your user name/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.Excel.plist.
    If you keep your Library hidden, as it is by default, go to the System preference folder from the Finder menu: Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder (Or shift-cmd-G) and enter
    "/Users/your user name/Library/Preferences"
    Good luck
