Unified storage 7110 for mixed environments

Hi,
I've got my hands on a 7110, and trying to set this up sucessfully in a mixed environment og windows and unix/linux clients. The idea is that win-client is using CIFS and *nix clinets should use NFSv4 w/kerberos5.
I have sucessfully setup a Domain on a w2008, and got the 7110 to join the domain.
I also have one OpenSolaris snv_108 clinet and one windowsXP client.
I have some users defined in AD.
Now, I have tried to start the LDAP-service on the 7110, and that looks OK, but I start wondering - is that really necessary?
My problem would be uid/gid I think, of course I understand that my solaris client should use ldap, and kinit to get e krb5 ticket, but will I need ldap to be enabled on the 7110 to get idmapping to work across platforms?
It will be the same user(s) accessing files from different platforms.
AND - should I use UNIX-attributes in AD or not ......

Hello,
You have to declare an initiator group with all the hosts you want to map LUNS to.
In the lun-protocol tab, select the initiator group that you want to see the lun. Only this initiator group will be able to see the lun.
Hope it helps

Unified Storage 7110 - How to restrict CIFS access to certain hosts

Hi,
I am trying to setup some CIFS shares on a 7110 machine and restrict access to them based on Host name or IP address. I have played around with the schema settings but have not gotten that to work successfully and I was wondering if anyone has gotten this to work or has any documentation explaining how to set this up. I have already downloaded the docs that you get from docs.sun.com and they explain what each feature can do but do not go into great detail on how to get it to work.
Thanks

Providing a new version 1.1.0 of the command "WFA Schedular" Changes made: Added conditional String Representation based on the Scheduling parameter provided. Provided check for the right number of parameters passed into the command.Added a new parameter "Expiry Date" to automatically stop the recurring execution upon expiry.Check for Posh3.0 version in code.Have Fun!! sinhaa Below example for:Schedule a workflow for recurring execution every alternate day i.e. once in 2 days at 10:30 PM starting 06-Jul-2015 (Today's date is 02-Jul-2015) . The recurring workflow execution should expire on 31-Dec-2015 and stop.

Unified Storage 7110 shipped with Cat5e cabling?

This is a mere curiosity question....we just received our new 7110 and I noticed that the included patch cabling, while beefy and well made, is Cat5e, not Cat6.
My guess is that Sun intentionally shipped it this way, I just can't figure out why.
It would seem, that on a core workgroup SAN device, you would like to have Cat6 over GigE connections.
Can anyone comment on this?
Thanks,
Phil

More than 90% market still run's on CAT5 or CAT5e....We've decide to go where the market is.
Supplying CAT6 will add product cost for 90% of peoples who do not require it yet. Special installation requires you to purchase your own cables.
When CAT6 will be more popular we will supply them and remove CAT5e.

Sun Unified Storage 7110 and iSCSI Initiators

Is it possible to secure the number of iSCSI LUN's a host will see?
For example I have 6 LUN's and 4 Solaris guests (initiators) and I only want certain guests to see certain LUN's, not all of them?
Thanks

Where to find the fishworks appliance for SUN Storage 7110

Hi,
we've got an old Storage 7110 we would like to re-use, but some disks have been interverted and that may be causing the problem: there's just no system booting up, hence no Storage interface available. All we got in the iLO working.
Is the appliance system supposed to be installed in one of the disks in the front bays ? How to recover or to install the appliance, which seems to be "fishworks" ? I coudln't find any full release of Fishworks anywhere, only some patches are [made available|https://wikis.oracle.com/display/FishWorks/Fishworks].
Thanks

yep, thanks, there isn't even the GRUB menu left. It tries to boot a weired Windows 2003 which ends up with a blue screen ok, that is definitely wrong.
But is the original operating system supposed to be installed on one of the disks or somewhere else, maybe inside on a flash disk ?The 7110 uses two of the 16 disks that are front-accessible for the OS. The 7120 has two extra disks on the back.
By the way, what firmware should I use to upgrade the machine ? I found the the latest update for X4240 servers (SW 3.2.1) but none for Storage 7110. Is it ok if I use the X4240 firmware to update ? It proposes to update both, ILOM and BIOS (v68) but the bios doesn't seem to get updated (still getting xxxsomethingxxx64).I am not 100% sure but I think you should not upgrade the iLOM and BIOS on your own and they are included in the software updates that are installed via the GUI. So I think without contacting support it might be impossible to revive this system

Putaway strategy for mixed pallets

Hi guys,
I need your suggestion to determine the correct putaway strategy. This is the scenario: We have a rack which will stock mixed pallets (more than one material) in the same bin. We want the same behavior of the putaway strategy I u201CAddition to existing stocku201D. In order to control the capacity of the bins Iu2019ve configure the Capacity check method 4 u201CUsage check based on materialu201D and try to control the capacity by volume, however, this measure is not realistic because in a pallet exist a lot of space that will not be consume by the material (in this case, books).
Example:
1 Pallet = 1.000 CM3
1 Book = 1 CM3
Consume of material = 1
Bin capacity = 1000
In this case, de capacity check will let stock 1.000 UN of material in the bin, but the true is that one pallet could only contain 700 UN.
I try to get the consume materialu2019s amount dividing the bin capacity by the total quantity of a pallet (Consume of material = 1000 / 700) but this could only works for NOT mixed palletsu2026
A possible solution is the Pallet strategy, but I have the same error. You define the pallet quantity at material level, so I have the same problem for the mixed pallets. Can I indicate the system which materials will go together before the TO creation?
Any suggestion will be really appreciated!
Sebas

Hi Hein
yes, creating seperate storage type for racking and floor is a solution.
but if we want to keep it as whole room as One Storage type.
what you think about putaway strategy "P" Pallet putaway strategy. if we consider floor as speerate BIN TYPE and define BIN TYPE and SUT permitted . And Allowed SU in that BIN TYPE.
your opnion please.
thanks & best regards

Unified Storage Simulator and ESXi

Hello all, I'm trying to test out Sun's Unified Storage system via their Simulator for VMware. I tried loading the system into ESXi (copied the files into my datastore and used vmware-cmd to register it). The machine shows up in my list, but as "invalid".
Will this only work under VMware Player?

Earlier versions of the Simulator (2008 and 2009 versions) have been released as a VMware as well as VirtualBox version simulator.
Newer versions are only release as a version for Virtualbox and don't do well converting.
You can try using tools as VMware converter, OVFtool, extractors, creating a new VMware VM and manually adding the VMDK files. You'll see all will fail.
The first simulator version of 2008 would let you convert it to a ESX VM from VMware Workstation with the VMware Converter tool. Unfortunately this simulator version is the one version that doesn't allow updating to a later 2009 or 2010 release.
Trying to convert a 2009 version of the simulator from VMware Workstation to VMware ESX gives you problems booting the VM (panic, bug in OpenSolaris with devices?).
Converting a 2010 release simulator won't work either as described earlier.
So, waiting for the VMware release mentioned earlier would be your best and probably only option. Hopefully the 'devices' problem is fixed so you can use the VMware Converter tool to create and ESX vm.
Good luck.

MMC with Computer Management Utility & Sun Storage 7110 in CIFS ?

Is it possible and supported to manage the filer SUN Storage 7110 configured in CIFS with the "Computer Management utility (MMC)" from Windows?
I've tried without success :-(...
Thanks in advance for the support.

Joaquim Neves

I believe your source for users/groups should ideally come from LDAP or Active Directory. The "Users" interface is primarily for assigning administration capabilities for the 7110 itself.

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

Please help - new to Mac. Storage options for 11" MBA 128GB

Hi,
I am a PC laptop user considering moving over to a MBA 11". I need portability and I'm worried about the storage capacity for the MBA at 11" - I'm on a budget. The next step up for me would be the 13" MBP for storage space/cost (and then I start getting confused about Serial ATA/SSD).
I currently estimate to have about 80-90GB of files on my PC (I estimated this from what's on my PC, and guessing at extras on my external HD). Most of this is music and photos from years of travel that I do not want to lose. My external HD once stopped working and I lost photos, so I never want that to happen again.
I understand I can also get an external HD for the MBA, as well as back everything up with Time Capsule/Machine.
Are there any other solid options?
Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
The main things I will be using it for are writing, iTunes, streaming TV/movies, web browsing and blogging, and some light photo editing.
Thanks for your help!

Is it too risky to store all music/photos solely on external drives, leaving the main machine free for work?
If you don't have them backed up to another hard drive, yes. I have a MacBook Air with a 256GB drive but I have about 3.5 TB of media (which is backed up on other drives). I keep a small selection of my photos, music, and video on the MBA but the rest is on a network accessable drive. If I have WiFi I can access the data on that drive. It is a pretty good solution.

Can you have one icloud storage plan for multiple devices

hi,
i'm wondering if there is a way of consolidation various icloud storage plans into one.
i only use my free 5gb for my 5s as i back up photos to my mac, however my wife has already upgraded her storage plan for her 5c to the £1/month.
with the new release of backing up your entire photo library on you mac (which im keen to do) im going to need to upgrade my own account as the mac is set up for my apple id.
i currently also pay for itunes match.
im keen to know if there is a way we can use one large back up facility for: my 5s, the mrs's 5c, the mac, with out paying for multiple storage plans.
im guessing the itunes match is stand alone but if i can have one payment for large storage and put everything there that would be ideal, and seem a reasonable request for most families.
any help greatly appreciated
thanks

What's the best storage solution for a large iLife? RAID? NAS?

I'm looking for an affordable RAID storage solution for my Time Machine, iTunes Library, iMovie videos, and iPhoto Library. To this point I've been doing a hodgepodge of external hard drives without the saftey of redundancy and I've finaly been bitten with HD failures. So I'm trying to determine what would be the best recommendation for my scenario. Small Home Office for my wife's business (just her), and me with all our media. I currentlty have a mid-2010 Mac Mini (no Thunderbolt), she has an aging 2007 iMac and 2006 MacBook Pro (funny that they're all about the same benchmark speed). We have an AppleTV (original), iPad2 and two iPhone 4S's.
1st Question: Is it better to get a RAID and connect it to my Airport Extreme Base Station USB port as a shared disk? OR to connect it directly to my Mac Mini and share through Home Sharing? OR Should I go with a NAS RAID?
2nd Question: Simple is Better. Should I go with a Mac Mini Server and connect drives to it? (convert my Mac Mini into a server) or Should I just get one of those nice all-in-one 4-bay RAID drive solutions that I can expand with?
Requirements:
1. Expandable and Upgradeable. I don't want something limited to 2TB drives, but as drives get bigger and cheaper I want to easily throw one in w/o concerns.
2. Simple integration with Time Machine and my iLife: iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto. If iTune's Home Sharing feature is currently the best way of using my media across multiple devices then why mess with it? I see "DLNA certified" storage on some devices and wonder if that would just add another layer of complexity I don't need. One more piece to make compatible.
3. Inexpensive. I totally believe in the "You Get What You Pay For" concept. But I also realize sometimes I'm buying marketing, not product. I imagine that to start, I'm going to want a diskless system (because of $$$) to throw all my drives into, and then upgrade bigger drives as my data and funds grow.
4. Security. I don't know if its practical, but I like the idea of being able to pop two drives out and put them in my safe and then pop them back in once a week for the backup/mirroring. I like this idea because I'm concerned that onsite backup is not always the safest. Unfortunately those cloud based services aren't designed for Terabytes of raw family video, or an entire media library that isn't wholey from the iTunes Store. I can't be the only one facing this challenge. Surely there's an affordable way to keep a safe backup for the average Joe. But what is it?
5. Not WD. I've had bad experiences with Western Digital drives, and I loathe their consumer packaged backup software that comes preloaded on their external drives. They are what I meant when I say you get what you pay for. Prettily packed garbage.
6. Relatively Fast. I have put all my media on an external drive before (back when it fit on one drive) and there's noticeable spool-up hang time. Thunderbolt's nice and all, but so new that its not easily available across devices, nor is it cheap. eSata is not really an option. I love Firewire but I'm getting the feeling that Apple has made it the red-headed step-child of connections. USB 3.0 looks decent, but like eSata, Apple doesn't recognize it exists. Where does that leave us? Considering this dilemma I really liked Seagate's GoFlex external drives because it meant I could always buy a new base and still be compatible. But that only works with single drives. And as impressive as Seagate is, we can't expect them to consistently double drive sizes every two years like they have been -cool as that may be.
So help me out without getting too technical. What's the best setup? Is it Drobo? Thecus? ReadyNAS? Seagate's BlackArmor? Or something else entirely?
All comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am currently using WD 2TB Thunderbolt hard drive for my iTunes, which i love and is works great. i am connected directly to my Mac Book Pro. I am running low on Memory and thinking of buying a bigger Hard drive. My question is should I buy 6TB thunderbolt HD or 6TB NAS drive to work solely for iTunes. I have home sharing enabled for my Apple TV
I also have my time capsule connected just as back up only.
