Unable to Claim Clariion volumes by MPIO

Hello all,
I’ve configured MPIO on a Win2k8 R2 and added several Clariion volumes in it.
To install Clariion DSM, I installed EMC PowerPath 5.7.1 SP1 software. Added "DGC RAID 5" and "DGC RAID 10" in "MPIO->Discover MultiPaths" tab. Then claimed the disks via
mpclaim.exe -r -i -a "" command.
I’m not able to make the Clariion Volumes to be claimed by MPIO. (MPIO’ed for Clariion volumes is False):
C:\Users\Administrator>mpclaim -s -d

Here if you notice, “System Disk” is N\A for Clariion volumes and “MPIO’ed” is No.
To solve this issue, I disabled PowerPath services and claimed (mpclaim.exe -r -i -a "") again and rebooted machine. But the output remains same.
Any help or suggestions to resolve this issue are welcome…
Thank in advance

Hi Sachi,
Please check if Clariion DSM is installed correctly. Third-party DSMs should be installed by using the
DSM Install tab in the MPIO Properties dialog box.
In additional, you need to use the EMC DSM to claim MPIO disks. After you install EMC CLARiiON network storage devices, you cannot register the EMC Navisphere Management Suite and manage these storage devices.
For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:
Multipath I/O Overview
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725907.aspx
You cannot register or manage EMC storage units when you are using the Microsoft DSM

  • I am trying to resize disk space on parallels 6 for windows XP under configure Hardrive and I get the error resizing failed unable to resize last volume the file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported?  I am on a Mac using Parallels 6

    I have been trying to increase my disk space for windows xp on my Imac and I am running parallels 6.  before opening windows I go into configure in parallels and open the hard drive and try to move the allotted disk space from 32 gig to 64 or any other increased gig and then apply and I get the error message: resizing failed unable to resize last volume.  The file system of this volume might be damaged or not supported.  How do I increase the size??  I just also did a disk repair utility with Apple on the Apple side of my IMAC.  Please Help!!   I had uninstalled SQL server on the windows side and needed to uncompress files to install this and then I ran short on disk space.

    This sounds to me that your Parallels XP file system is corrupted and not the OSX file system.
    Have you checked the XP file system while running the Parallels XP yet ?
    However, it would be better to ask such question in the Parallels Forum http://forum.parallels.com/

  • Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

    Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
    I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
    What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    resetp
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

    I've seen others get this error code and fix it by injecting the correct storage drivers.  In my case I believe I have the correct storage drivers.  In a separate MDT 2013/WDS environment I can deploy
    8.1 to the same machine using the same drivers with no problems so my drivers appear to allow proper access to the drive.  When I check the volumes with DiskPart they all appear to be fine.  The C:\ volume has the _SMSTaskSequence folder on it with
    files so it is certainly writable.  The system is set for UEFI mode.  Of course if I change it to Legacy mode this problem doesn't happen.  I have also integrated MDT 2013 into SCCM console and both an SCCM task sequend and an MDT task sequence
    do the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    From the error, the C could not be the staging location because it is system partition. You need to format a fixed drive to NTFS partition and try again.

  • Unable to mount dfs volume from Windows Server 2008 R2

    I am trying to use Finder|Go|Connect to Server to connect to a DFS volume shared by a Windows Server 2008 R2 machine.  I get the following errors:

    I've seen a reference to this article (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3258472) to fix similar problems but that seems only to apply to Mac-based servers not Windows servers.
    I called AppleCare but they said they are unable to troubleshoot a problem originating on a Windows Server. 
    The Mac is running 10.7.4 but the problem happens on 10.7.3 as well.
    I can connect to non-DFS volumes from other Windows Servers with no issue. 

    After some more digging around I found out that it works when using the cifs: prefix instead of the smb: prefix in Finder|Go|Connect to Server. 
    So instead of using the name smb://servername.company.com I use the name cifs://servername.company.com. 

  • Unable to mount XSAN volume on client workstation

    We just reimaged one of our machines and we are now unable to mount the xsan volume. Originally when the machine hooked up the IP was wrong and the XSAN couldn't see it. This has been fixed and the XSAN sees it now and it is authenticated, but when we try to mount the volume we get this error

  • Unable to claim my Adobe Licensing Product Upgrade.

    I log in and click on the option to claim my upgrade but just get the login page again. I log in a second time and it says my session has expired.  I can't see how to get out of this loop.  Assistance please someone.

    Hi Too,
         My understanding is that you are referring to the claiming for the free upgrade in Volume Licensing purchase. Usually the coupon code will be active only for 180 days from the date of email sent to you. If the email is sent within 180 days, then as Nikhil suggested above, please contact Adobe Support.
    You can either contact over chat or phone, but Chat is very good.

  • Unable to create logical volume snapshot

    Hi All,
    Pls note that the follwoing error is reported when a snapshot is being created  in our Oracle Linux Server release 5.11 box:
    [root@hawaii901 tmp]# lvcreate --size 500m --name snap /dev/ora_vg/vol02
      Volume group name expected (no slash)
      Run `lvcreate --help' for more information.
    Any clue on this issue?
    Thanks & Regards

    LVM snapshot is a general purpose solution that was not designed with Oracle database in mind. It can be used, for example, to quickly create a snapshot prior to a system upgrade, then if you are satisfied with the result, you would delete the snaphot.
    There is probably a common misconception. LVM snapshots, like all COW snapshosts that I'm aware off, allow to create a backup of a live filesystem while changes are written to the snapshot volume. Hence it's called "copy on write", or copy on change if you want. This is necessary for system integrity to make a complete backup of all data in a LVM volume at a certain point in time and to allow changes happening while the filesystem backup is taking place. A snapshot is no substitute for a disaster recovery backup in case you loose your storage media. A snapshot only takes seconds, and initially does not copy or backup any data, unless data changes. It is therefore important to delete the snapshot if no longer required, in order to prevent duplication of data and restore file system performance.
    If snapshot or COW technololgy suits your purpose, you will actually want to look into BTRFS filesystem, which is more modern, employs the idea of subvolumes and is much more efficient that LVM.

  • Unable to find Logical Volume manager in OEL6

    I remember the Red Hat 6.0 release notes outlining that Samba and LVM configuration GUI were removed without a replacement. Same goes for the system-network-config tool. More recent versions of the release notes at http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/6.0_Release_Notes/storage.html outline that system-config-lvm is in the process of transitioning to a more maintainable tool named gnome-disk-utility.
    You did not specify which version of Oracle Linux you installed. I suggest you refer to the release notes. A text based version of "system-config-network" should still be installed, which you can open from the command line.
    Regarding LVM gui you should setup the system software repository following the instructions at http://public-yum.oracle.com. You can then use yum to install the system-config-lvm package.

  • Unable to read NTFS volume on OS 10.4.7

    Hi All,
    I have an Maxtor drive formated as a NTFS volume, which works well with my PC. It is my understanding that in OS 10.4 (or 3) I should be able to mount this drive as a read-only drive on my Mac. When I connect the drive to the Mac it says that the drive is un-moutable and asks me either to format, ignore or eject. Can anyone help?
    THanks

    Run WhatSize and see what it shows. People have found what should have been 4k in /Volumes only the drive didn't mount, and now there is 60GB under the Volumes directory.
    Look in /private/var for tmp also.
    Any P2P BitTorrent or something running and putting software or video in hidden directories?
    I run fsck regularly, or boot from another drive and repair the drive. Only time I repair permissions is before or after installs, or if the "Ignore Ownership" was turned back on (which should be off).
    25GB is close to 10% free space, which according to MicroMat, is about when hfs+ can run into too many file fragments for the directory to handle, and you end up with a lot or corrupt directory and files aren't available.
    If you have Applejack, delete the cache files, but at least run fsck, and do some deep cleaning for now, backup with CCC, do an erase, zero the drive, and restore. But make sure you have a backup soon.
    Besides WhatSize there is also Path Finder 4 and OmniDiskSweeper than can help identify where disk space is being used.

  • I had sound control locked in previous IOS but now in IOS 7 I am unable to change the volume limit in settings and there is no ability to enter my password

    I locked the volume control on halfway for my daughter's Iphone but when we update to IOS 7 it seems to have permanently locked it in at this level with no options to enter my password to change it (the slide bar is greyed out)

    Have you turned the iPad off then back on? That often helps with problems.
