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
Jan 26 13:54:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error reading computer properties: kOfflineError (0)
Jan 26 13:55:37 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: ERROR: Error mounting volumeâ€¦: Server returned a non-zero status code (100007)
Jan 26 13:55:48 *** Xsan Admin[23616]: The temporary directory at "/private/var/folders/Eu/Euvo7L8cHAmWwo7ntmj8ak+TI/TemporaryItems/(A Document Being Saved By Xsan Admin 33)" could not be deleted.
The *'s was the name of the machine, apple has been little to no help. We have tried removing the machine form the XSAN and then adding it back in, same issue. Tried reinstallingt eh client, same issue. Any ideas?

This is the error on server
ERROR: Error mounting volumeâ€¦: Server returned a non-zero status code (100007)

Cannot mount Xsan volume on Mac Pro

Hi,
I installed a new workstation - a first Mac Pro in our PPC Xsan deployment. I installed Xsan, then latest updates. However, I cannot mount an Xsan volume on this workstation. This is an abstract from the log:

I tried reinstalling Xsan on this workstation, re-entering a licence key to the Xsan admin and rewriting Xsan settings, with no success.
All of the other 10 PowerMac workstations can access the Xsan volume with no problems.
Your help would be highly appreciated.

Hi,
I am accessing this WS via ARD, so public LAN is definitely there. I have not connected the "Xsan" network (but it should be no problems communicating the Xsan traffic over this single LAN connection).
With the firewall, the situation is more strange. When I try to open the Firewall settings on Sharing, there is a dialog "Other firewall software is running on this computer." I googled this and it seems that this was a common problem on 10.3. They suggest to delete com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file but it is not there on 10.4.
"sudo ipfw list" shows this:
00001 allow udp from any 626 to any dst-port 626
65535 allow ip from any to any
Any ideas on how to make Firewall behave as expected? I will try to reinstall if I don't receive a reply.
Thanks.

Backup Controller cannot mount XSAN Volume

Hi Guys,
I've really have a big problem regarding the XSAN that I've just setup: There are 3 Xserves connected to the SAN - one for the main controller, one for backup and another one for fileserver. After a fresh install of the Leopard Server 10.5.6 on all servers and fresh install of Xsan 2.0 updated to 2.1.1, I tried creating an SAN from the main controller, I added first the main and backup controllers, authenticated them properly and was successful adding them to the SAN. After this, I created the volume and it mounted properly on the main controller. What I don't understand is that whenever I try to mount the volume to the backup controller, it is saying unable to mount and even I tried forcing it to mount in terminal using the command xsanctl mount VOLNAME, its giving me an error saying
"unable to mount volume, Cannot mount XSAN volume error code: 5"
What is that error message? When I tried typing cvadmin to the main controller, it only gave me this message:
Main Controller:
File System Services (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1>*XSAN[0] located on 10.0.0.101:49930 (pid 317)
Select FSM "XSAN"
When I type the same cvadmin to the backup controller, it gave me this message:
Backup Controller:
File System Service (* indicates service is in control of FS)
1> XSAN[1] located on 10.0.0.102:50384 (pid 331)
No FSSs are active
Select FSM "none"
What is happening? both servers are having a DNS name. Before I created the SAN, from the authenticate window, the server name is just the IP address of the Ethernet 0 (first ethernet port). Now whenever I fire up Xsan Admin, both controllers are now offline and if you authenticate them, the server name info suddenly changed from IP address to a DNS Name (e.g. from 194.170.34.12, changed to hct-mdc.ad.hct.ac.ae) which even if I type my admin username and password cannot authenticate saying "server not found in network"
I really don't know now what to do and they need to fix the issue asap.
I would really appreciate your help guys!
Thanks.

Oddball client not mounting XSan Volumes

Background: My client, a TV News broadcast station, had Apple and a third-party design and install a Apple based XSan storage and network. They ran all new fiber and gigabit ethernet to each station to use the XSan. It has been working great, with the exception noted below.
Setup: 2 MD Controllers, 1 XServe, 4 XRaids, each make up two 2 large TB volumes (raid 5, stripped together).
XServe, XRAID, MD controllers, and all clients are all connected together on a Fibre and Fiber Optic network using QLogic switches. SUBNET: 10.200.1.x.
Ethernet Network, also connected all the above together on HP Gigabit Switches. SUBNET: 10.100.1.x The public WAN is made available on this subnet by a connection to the HP switches. Still getting details on how this was done.
Everything is running OS X 10.4.8 or better, XSan File System 1.4.
Setup
There are 8 workstations (edit bays) that act as infusion and editing stations. Each station has two XSans volumes mounted NEWS01 and NEWS02. They have the odd numbered bays use NEWS01 and the even numbered bays use NEW02.
PROBLEM
All bays mount the XSan volumes, except one. FCP08 will not mount the XSan volumes. We have rebooted the workstation, and even went to the extreme of shutting down the entire setup all bays and MD controllers, File Servers, etc.. then bringing everything backup up. Same problem.
Based on some forum discussion, we have tried the following:
* Ensured that there is no empty mount point in /Volumes
* Uninstalled all XSan Software and resinstalled v1.4 from Apple's website.
* Removed the client from the XSan Admin, and readded it, made sure to enter valid serial number, etc..
* Verified that all fibers are working, all link lights look good, and you can ping across the MD network.
When you use the XSan admin from either FCP08 (edit bay 08) or from the server, and you add both MD XSans to it, you see the client, and you click on the client and click either Mount (read-only) or Mount (Read/write).
It will show "Mounting..." and then it will flip back to "not mounted". The only feedback we have received so far is "ACCESS DENIED". All affinity setting are set to rwxrwxrwx (wide open), and all the volumes and workstation logins all have the same access to the volumes. I can not find any restrictive permissions anywhere.
I plan on trying to move them away from a /etc/hosts type setup to a proper DNS Server running on their XServe using the DNS Server function of OS X Server. But currently all edit bay stations have the same /etc/hosts file installed, which accounts for MD and ethernet networks.
ANY IDEAS what is wrong with this workstation? With the setup?
I have had extreme ideas from some who have said that we need to blitz the entire client, and reinstall the operating system. I am not willing to go down that route, since each edit bay was built manually without an image (another aspect I will remedying soon). It will take sometime to rebuild this edit bay client if I that is the only solution.
The only this question I have if that is the popular opinion, is what is different from a client OS install and the existing one regarding the XSan? This are edit bays, not private workstations, and no one installs any extra software or surfs the net, etc.. They are used for ingest and editing only.
HELP!
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi,
You could check if it is Fibre Channel related:
from a terminal do a cvlabel -l
this should give you a list of the lun's in your volume.
When this tool does not show luns, you might have a zoning issue.

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:
A dialog box that says, "There was a problem connecting to the server "server name". Contact your system administrator for more information"
Messages in the log:
PM kernel: smb_ntstatus_error_to_errno: Couldn't map ntstatus (0xc0000225) to errno returning EIO
PM NetAuthSysAgent: checkForDfsReferral: mounting dfs url failed , syserr = Input/output error
PM NetAuthSysAgent: smb_mount: mount failed to <server name>, syserr = Input/output error
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.

NEED HELP Xsan volume is not mounted (strange problem)

I ask the help in solving the volume mount problem. (advance I am sorry for my english)
All began with the fact that the MDC is rebooted and on the two LUNs were gone XSAN label. I relabeled these LUNs using commands:
cvlabel -c >label_list
then in the file label_list I corrected unknown disks on the label with a same names that were. Then I ran the cvlabel label_list command. Finally I got the correct label on all drives.

I checked the availability of LUNs on MDC and client, there also all right.
But, unfortunately, the Volume is not mounted
xsanctl mount 2K
mount command failed: Unable to mount volume `2K' (error code: 5)
Please help me to figure out this situation, I will be grateful for any information.
Thanks

That looks like an I/O error. You may have an issue with one or more of the data LUNs. Check the system log for errors.

Can't mount 3rd party DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously

Xsan client(MacPro) equipped an Apple FC HBA card can't mount SGI TP9300 DAS storage and Xsan volume simutaneously when powering on or restarting.
Among 2 FC ports, one port is used for Xsan volume using Xserve RAID, and the other port is used for SGI TP9300 storage which is directly connected to that Mac.
When booting, Xsan volume is always mounted normally, but SGI TP9300 volume is not.
Sometimes TP9300 volume is mounted about 20~30 minutes later.(I attached system.log file)
The LUN of TP9300 is seen at Disk Utility, so it's not physical problem.
It seems that actual volume information is not correctly processed at booting time.
While, after booting the system with the FC cable for TP9300 disconnected and confirming that Xsan volume mounted normally, then connecting the FC cable for TP9300, the TP9300 volume is mounted immediately.
Mac OS X 10.4.8, Xsan 1.4 is being used.

Yes, I think you screwed your xsan volume. You can not remove luns from pools, and you can not remove volumes from volumes.
How important is your existing data? In your case I would concentrate on that. This is not trivial. Theorotically you have lost your data allready. In practise you might have luck.
Once I was in your kind of twilight zone, and managed to keep the data. It is a complete cli job. You have to be very carefull about with your config files. You could hire an experienced xsan consultant. If that is not possible, read the manpages very carefully before doing anything on the volume.

Mount two Xsan volumes hosted by different MDC

For several reason, we need to create two Xsan volumes hosted by different MDC group.
Assume that Xsan volume 1 is hosted by MDC1, MDC2 (fail-over configuration), and Xsan volume 2 is hosted by MDC3, MDC4 (fail-over configuration).
Is it possible that an Xserve or MacPro simultaneously mount these two Xsan volumes?
Of course, under the assumption that FC cables and ethernet cable are connected correctly.
I know that each MDC group has their own .auth_secret file and makes same .auth_secret file in client's config directory.
So I think it's not a piece of cake.
Long time ago, I read an article which say it is possible in SNFS environment with proper fsroute file configuration.
But I hope there is a way for this in Xsan environment.
Any comment will be appreciated.

Xserve G5 2.3 DP, PowerMac G5 2.7 DP Mac OS X (10.4.8) Xsan 1.4

Hi,
you have to modify three files in the config dir:
fsnameservers:
#mention the IP's of all the MDC's here:
IPPrimMDC1 0
IPFailMDC1 1
IPPrimMDC2 0
IPFailMDC2 1
automount.plist
#mention all mountpoints here like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>volume1</key>
<dict>
<key>AutoMount</key>
<string>rw</string>
<key>MountOptions</key>
<dict/>
</dict>
<key>volume2</key>
<dict>
<key>AutoMount</key>
<string>rw</string>
<key>MountOptions</key>
<dict/>
</dict>
</dict>
</plist>
Off course you can mount mamualy first:
mkdir /Volumes/volume2
mount -t acfs volume2 /Volumes/volume2

XSAN volumes mount RW, but ROOT is locked out.

I am mounting several clients to the XSAN, and the volumes mount as RW through the admin, and the get info shows them as RW mounts, but additional info says 'you can only read' and there is a small lock illustration on the drive icon after mounting. Using terminal ADMIN, I can not write to the root of the drive, but previously created folders work as RW. Using one of the volumes as the FCP scratch disk, and it will not work, but use the folder inside the volume works. Have tried resetting permissions, restarting the volume(s) and the controller. Nothing has helped. I did have one client with possibly corrupted data (bad HDD) that was crashing at the time of this beginning. Any thought will be appriciated, as I have not been able to find anything on it yet.

I would say that read only access at the root level of your XSan volume would be preferable, at least it is in the environment that we are working. This prevents anyone but an administrator from placing folders at the root level, meaning that you can control affinity assignment, whereas any local user that would create a folder on the root level would have no affinity assignment. In our environment, where we're working with multiple shows at a time and 52 TB of total storage, affinity assignments become absolutely crucial for file management.

Unable to Mount "Mac OS standard" Volumes

I am unable to mount volumes of file system "Mac OS standard." In this case I am trying to mount an image I made of a Starcraft BroodWars CD, but my computer claims that the file is damaged. However it says this of all of my saved images and I find this to be unlikely. I attempted to burn the image to disk using the Disk Utility, but even while disk utility seems to recognize the CD, it will still not mount it. Attempts to verify the disk yield the error:
Verifying volume “Brood War CD”
Checking HFS volume.
Invalid number of allocation blocks
Volume check failed.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Any advice?

Yes, I think you need to repair your hard drive from your disk. Did you try to reset the Pram?
If my advise is something you already tried, remember there is no way for me to know this.
If you want instructions on either, post back.
I wish you well.

Unable to mount SMB shares under Mac OS 10.6.5

Help -
*I can no longer mount any shares from my Seagate BlackArmor NAS-110*. I bought the device (a 1TB network drive with CIFS (aka SMB), NFS, and FTP capabilities (no AFP connectivity)) in June of 2010, and it was working fine until appx (18 Nov, 2010). My computer - MacPro 2x2.26GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon (early 2009) with 12GB of 1066MHz DDR3 RAM and Mac OS 10.6.5. My home network is running on Apple's TimeCapsule router (version 7.4.2).
Note: Problems began after installation of recent updates:
11/10/2010 - Mac OS 10.6.5
11/12/2010 - iTunes 10.1
11/13/2010 - iLife '11
11/13/2010 - iPhoto 9.1
11/18/2010 - Safari 5.0.3
I'm not sure which, if any, of these updates may have intrudced new code which impacted my ability to mount SMB/CIFS shares, or whether this problem is isolated to the NAS-110 (actually, reading numerous posts about connectivity issues (during/over the last month or so) shows similar issues with other external drives, servers, NAS devices). The issues may not have materialized until I rebooted the NAS or the Mac. FYI: The only firewall I'm using is the Mac's built in firewall, and I've got File Sharing (AFP, SMB) set to Allow Incoming.
What happens? I can't mount the SMB shares. I can see the device in my finder. It shows up as "BA-22B9C2", and I can see the sharepoint folders (in Finder): Download, Public, and wiki. When I attempt to SMB mount the shares (by any of the following methods: Double-Click in Finder, use 'Go->Connect to Server' or using the 'BlackArmor Discovery' application) The share/folder icon does not appear on my desktop. It creates a mount-point in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop. I can 'cd' into the sharepoint, and I can see that Spotlight has attempted to index the sharepoint (a .Spotlight-V100 directory was created), but I cannot see the 'Our Music, Our Pictures, or Our Videos' folders inside the Public share/directory. Successive attempts to mount a share, using Finder results in additional mount points in the /Volumes directory (Public-1, Public-2, Public-3, etc), but no folder icons on my desktop.
FYI: The 'Connected servers' setting (under 'Shared') is enabled in my Finder's Prefences (along with Bonjour and Back to My Mac), so connected shares should appear on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the Connect to Server method (smb://10.0.1.2/Public, smb://admin:[email protected]/Public) also fail. No folder appears on desktop. The password/login authenticates (connecting to server), and a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Attempts to mount shares using the BlackArmor Discovery application generate similar results. Shares are visible in the tool. I click on the 'Public' share (which has permissions set to 'read, write, execute' for all), then click the 'Mount Share' button. I am presented with an authentication/login dialog. I log in as a Registered user (name: admin password: admin) Once again, a mount point is created in the /Volumes directory, but no folder appears on the desktop.
Notably, whenever I attempt to mount a share, Spotlight indexes the share, but then it dies on my computer. Spotlight stops indexing my primary drive (where the OS is installed for my Mac). I have to stop the mds process using Activity Monitor. mds restarts automatically, and it starts indexing my primary drive again. While this may not be critical to my troubleshooting efforts, it has caused some considerable consternation on my part.
I initially (back around the 18th of Nov, 2010) attempted troubleshooting with the assistance of Seagate technicians, but they quickly gave up on the email support, insisted I had to continue over the phone, which costs ~$14.00 per 'incident' and isn't convenient for my schedule.
I've already attempted to update the firmware on the NAS (from 1000.0361 to 1000.1081), but that won't work. The NAS indicates a firmware update (1000.1081) is available, but it reports: "Firmware is not found". I had a friend try this update using his Windows machine (and my NAS), with the same results. He tried with a a Vista box and a Windows-NT running through emulation. I also tried to manually update. I downloaded the firmware image file "sg1000-1000.1081.img" from the Seagate downloads page, and attempted a manual update on the NAS. That failed with error "Failed to upload new firmware image to system." Once again, my friend tried to perform a manual update to the NAS. He downloaded a new copy of the file (from the Seagate downloads page), and he got the same error.
The Seagate techs recommended that I update the firmware. I explained my problems updating the firmware, and I have asked the Seagate techs (via email) for a known good copy of the firmware update, but they do not answer my requests for such.
The Seagate techs recommended that I restore the NAS with a factory reset. That caused plenty of problems, as their is no mac software to recover the factory reset 'key' from the device (need device MAC, and I presume some sort of hashing key stored on the device). So, I had to cart the drive over to my friends house, and have him attempt the restore. After some initial confusion regarding the MAC address, we were able to successfully restore the device to it's factory settings.
Note: Before attempting the factory reset, my friend attempted to mount the SMB shares (on the NAS), using his Mac running 10.6.5. He encountered the same problems I encountered. When he tried using his Windows-NT (through VMFusionWare emulation) *he WAS able to mount the shares*. O.k. This must be a Mac OS issue, and not a Seagate NAS issue. - Now that the drive has been restored to factory defaults, it's pretty much empty (some folders, but no data). Default admin/admin username/password are in place.
I'm not sure which, if any of my most recent software updates may have introduced changes to smb/samba, so I tried mounting the device using other services. It's capable of FTP and NFS as well as CIFS/SMB.
I tried to create an NFS mount. I tried using two different methods (an application called NFS Manager and the 'Connect to Server' method built into the Mac. Both methods failed to establish a nfs mount to the server. No login errors were noted, but no mount points were created in /Volumes, and no folders appeared on the desktop.
I tried to connect via FTP, that didn't work either (using an my Transmit client). I'm certainly striking out with this drive. My Mac will not mount the shares/folders. I tried FTP (to 10.0.1.2 as admin) using Transmit application (on port 21). Transmit reported "Could not retrieve file listing for “/Public”. Server said: OOPS: Child died Error -162: Port failed". Connectivity protocols of CIFS, NFS and FTP (on port 21) are enabled on the NAS and the /Public share.
*When I attempt to connect using the Connect to Server method (See Apple's 'Go' menu in the Finder), I met with sucess!* ftp://10.0.1.2/Public connect attempt resulted in two pop ups. One of them said 'connecting', the other said something about "'NetAuthAgent' (I didn't write it down) wants permission to access your confidential keychain data" Presumably, this was the authentication request. I said 'Always allow'. A folder appeared on my desktop and a finder window opened showing the contents of that folder. Unfortunately, the share is 'read only'; even when I attempt to authenticate as a specific user.
Note: I don't think FTP attempts to index the mounted shares.
Prior to the factory reset, I was able to connect to the shares using the Seagate's 'Global Access' web based ftp service. Now I cannot connect through the Global Access page.
Below are 'Console' entries and a listing of my /Volumes directory. These may help resolve the issue. I deleted some entries (those I felt were unrelated to the issue). I left in stuff that's been bothering me.
_*Can anyone help me reestablish SMB connectivity with my NAS-110?*_

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Troubleshooting Xsan Volume Panic

I've been having a semi-regular Xsan panic and haven't been able to isolate the cause. I'm hoping someone here has seen something similar and can offer some tips on solving this.
Here's what the cvlog says when the panic happens (it's the same every time):
0209 07:47:13 0x10da87000 (*FATAL*) PANIC: /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/bin/fsm ASSERT failed "IPXATTRINODE(ip)" file fsm_xattr.c, line 736
0209 07:47:13.258787 0x11de39000 (Debug) timedfree_pending_inodethread: flushing journal.
0209 07:47:13.258805 0x11de39000 (Debug) timedfree_pending_inodethread: journal flush complete.
0209 07:47:13 0x10da87000 (*FATAL*) PANIC: aborting threads now.
The primary MDC panics, and fails over to the backup. The backup panics immediately, and fails back to the primary, which panics again and stops the SAN.
Here are the setup details:
• 4 Early 2008 Xserves (2 controllers, 2 clients), Xsan 2.2.1
• All 4 servers running 10.6.5 (same panic also occurred under 10.6.4)
• Clients share open directory home folders over AFP for users with portable home directories.
• 2 Vtrak E610F enclosures, one hosts a data LUN, the other a metadata LUN for one Xsan volume
• QLogic Sanbox 5602 fiber switch
I can't find any hardware problems on the Vtraks or the Sanbox
After the san panics, I run cvfsck -j followed by cvfsck -wv. The output doesn't show any problems, to my (admittedly untrained) eye. Here's what I get from cvfsck -wv, let me know if I'm missing something:

However, if I try to restart the volume after running cvfsck, it just panics again. Shutting down the clients and rebooting the primary controller allows a normal startup, and the volume mounts and runs fine until the next panic. Everything in the cvlog between panics is labeled either debug or info.
I've reversed the roles for the primary and backup controllers, but it didn't make a difference in the panic.
Most, but not all, of the panics seem to happen in the morning when users are logging in, or at quitting time, when the users' portable homes are syncing. I've tried to isolate the panic to a specific user's sync, by temporarily disabling syncing for usergroups (one at a time), but can't tie them to any single user. Nightly incremental backups and weekly full backups run without causing a panic. I can also use rsync to mirror the volume's contents to another server without causing a panic.
I'd appreciate any insight into the cause of the panic, or strategies to diagnose or prevent it.
Thanks!

Hi There ClintR,
I'm having an identical issue that occurred out of nowhere @ 3pm yesterday.
Have been working on finding a solution to this, however haven't found anything effective yet.
Did you have some luck in finding a resolution?
Here is a excerpt of my logs - if anyone can offer some further assistance I'd be very grateful.

Error message on login to XSAN MDC and clients

Hi,
I installed a new XSAN system with SLServer,10.6.1 and XSAN 2.2 then updated XSAN to 2.2.1.
The system works fine, the only thing whenever I login from client or server I have an error message popping for all FC attached LUNs, " the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" I did a quick search on the net and it seems to be related missing AppleXsanFilter.kext. But for my case the kext is present at the expected location.
When I click Ignore on the message window, the message dissapears. I didnt try Initialize, I dont want to destroy my XSAN volume, but the users are pretty curious about what's the message is and if they click the wrong button, what happens.
Is there any way to have a message free login?
BTW, whoever login into the system, XSAN user, local user etc, the mesasage appears for each and every LUN attached.
Thanks and regards.

Hi "bonematrix" - thanks for your suggestion. I found the Help icon but was unable to find "Change, delete or reorder wifi networks" under WiFi. I called my internet provider because earlier in the year I had problems accessing my e-mail because they had changed some of the security settings. They tell me that what is happening is not related to anything they did in this respect although they did check into it for me. It seems you are absolutely my last resort. I would so appreciate you providing me with the explanation of how to accomplish this. I am desparate!!

Open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume

It is recommended by apple to *open and work on FCP project file located at xsan volume*
or we should open , work and save our FCP project file from local drive only .
Is there is risk of corrupting xsan volume if we open FCP project file placed in xsan volume .
where should be the location of FCP project files ??????
Mac pro 2.66 , FCP 6.01, xsan 1.4

Opening a file twice is a indeed a problem. To prevent this, and for numerous other reasons, we use Open Directory. In OD you can configure that a user can login just once (concurrently).
In old versions of xsan it was not recommended to put project files on xsan, but nowadays it works fine.
Putting projectfiles on a san has the advantage that a user can work on any client. If this is not important in your environment these files can be stored locally.

Adobe After Effect on Xsan Volume

Is there anybody using Adobe After Effect(AE) 6.5 on Xsan Volume in PowerMac G5?
In doing 2k or 4k DI work, AE browses many of sequence files (maybe up to 10,000 files in a folder)
File type is Cineon( *.cin), and file size is about 12MB for 2k, 48MB for 4k each.
The problem is that when the number of files is over than 5,000, movie preview gets very slow.
It takes 3~5 second to move from a point to another point.
This is happening only in PowerMac client, in Windows client (SNFS installed and using AE 6.5 same) it does not happen.
PowerMac 2.7G DP with 8GB RAM(10.4.2) is being used.
MDC is Xserve 2.3G DP with 1GB RAM), Xsan 1.1 is installed on all Mac machine.
2 Xserve RAID 5.6TB are being used for userdata.(4 RAID controller)
Metadata pool is belong to another Xserve RAID.
While, this symptom dows not appear in case Xserve RAID is directly attached to PM.
So, I thinks this is being from the difference between filesystems(HFS+ vs. Xsan filesystem) and
file index mechanism(Windows XP vs. Max OS X Tiger)
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Steve

Steve,
I don't know if this is the same basic symptom or not, but FCP has an extremely difficult (can I emphasize extremely) time reconnecting to media on Xsan Volumes. It is so slow that you think it has crashed or something.
There is definitely an indexing issue on Xsan Volumes, that is not present in HFS+. If your issues is related to this at all, I am sorry to say, there is no fix for it yet, at least on the FCP side of things.
That's my two cents.
Good Luck
