Using Disk suite to remove a mirroring

/ had been mirrored and now I need to back off the mirror.
d98: Mirror
Submirror 1: d9
Submirror 2: d8
d9: Submirror of d98
Device: c0t1d0s0
d8: Submirror of d98
Device: c0t0d0s0
I metadetached one of the submirrors (d8) from the mirror, then did a
metaroot with the argument of the disk device of the detached
submirror
(e.g. /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0), then rebooted.
On reboot, I get (after the memory check) the message like "not
correct file system". Then the system mounts it as read only. The
vfstab is correct - that is the detached mirror device is the entry
for /.
# more /etc/vfstab
#device device mount FS fsck mount
mount
#to mount to fsck point type pass at
boot options
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 / ufs 1 no
As the system could not mount /, we decide to mount / into
/dev/md/dsk/d98, modifying /etc/vfstab as follows:
/dev/md/dsk/d98 /dev/md/rdsk/d98 / ufs 1 no
This way system works fine but DiskSuite Tool (Metadevice Editor)
displays mirror d98 using / but with status URGENT, concat/stripe d9
with status OK, c0t1d0s0 as the only stripe (#0) of d9.
Does anybody have an idea about how erase mirror d98 since it's not
necessary anymore?
Any ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Bruno

Well a "metaclear -r d98" will delete the mirror and its submirrors completely based on the following conditions as per the metaclear man page:
-r Recursively deletes specified metadevices and hot
spare pools, but does not delete metadevices on which
others depend.
So if d98 or d8 or d9 are still in use in some way - they shouldn't be deleted.
Use this command at your own risk.

Recovering /var/ and /usr using disk suite

Hello all:
How do I recover /var/ and /usr using disk suite. A snippet of metastat is below. Do I just issue a metareplace or metarecover?
Thanks for your help.

Your snippet doesn't show anything wrong, so I can't understand why you're asking about recovery. Are you talking about fixing something or are you thinking of some failure scenario that hasn't happened yet? You also don't show any output as to what we're looking at. I'm assuming from your subject that /var and /usr are mounted on d30 and d40, but you might want to confirm that.
Also the output suggests that you've started setting up mirrors, but haven't done so. All the data is on c1t0 and nothing has been copied to c1t1 yet.
There's no redundant data shown here. So any failure in c1t0 will be fatal and unrecoverable from a SVM standpoint. You'd need to add the second half of the mirrors.

Disk suite question

Hi,
I'm a newbiee regarding disk suite, and I am trying to mirror a 36GB drive using this application. This drive was already loaded with data and partitioned in different ways. My question is this: can I still use disk suite to mirror this disk without loosing any of the data already loaded on the disk, or should I better set up a manual mirror.
Any comments and suggestions will be greatly welcomed.
Regards,
C.

Hi
The short answer is yes to the first part of your question. Not quite sure what you mean by setting up a manual mirror ( something to do with command line or GUI perhaps ? )
To be on the safe side, create a set of one way mirrors on the 36Gb disc partitions ie
metainit d30 -m d31
where d30 is your metadevice and d31 is a metamirror consisting of a partition of your disc containing the data.
Then on a new disc, create a second mirror and attach this to d30. This way you can be sure you
you don't wipe out your data with a mirror of a blank disc.
If in any doubt back everything up before you carry out disksuire operations.

Recovery plan for Solstice disk suite 4.2 on Solaris 8

need to know have more details regarding recovery of applications which are running on a server with Solstice disk suite.
I know we run metadb �d option for replacing bad disks when there is disk failure and metareplace for Sub Mirrors out of sync and are in maintenance state.
I would appreciate if you have any detailed recovery plan as to how we can take care of applications such as Oracle ,when the system crashes Which is using Solstice disk suite .
Any websites or white papers on the same will be highly appreciated.

what exactly is a scenario you are thinking about!?

Disk Suite/ Solaris 8 Upgrade Problems

Hello,
I am trying to upgrade from Solaris Sparc 7 to 8 and I have Sun Disk Suite mirroring the boot device. When I try to upgrade the installation fails. Is there a way to upgrade from 7 to 8 without breaking the mirror and if not is there a utility that can remove the metadb info and rebuild them after the upgrade.
Thanks,

Disk suite 4.2.1 Bug

Ok
Looks like I found a bug in Disk Suite 4.2. I am not sure with the other versions. So here is my finding. If I have any meta device either mirrored or raid or stripe. While my metadevice is mounted I can create a soft partation on top of it. Once i am able to create soft partation i can create a new filesystem. The intreasting thing is Disksuite never warn you about the metadevice is already in use or mounted. So it means i can destroy any mounted filesyetm. This looks like a bug to me. I am wondering if any one reported it before or not.

I have a similiar problem. The centre control button and the volume controls just stopped working. Can't answer calls or skip tracks when playing iPod. The controls on the iPhone itself still work fine with the earbuds connected. Seem to just happen overnight. Bought a brand new set of Earbuds, suspecting it was the buds but exactly the same results. Non repsonsive controls. Very disappointing.
Unlike you, the mic built in to the phone does not seem live with the buds plugged in to the iPhone.
Have you found a solution ? Any help would be appreciated. My iPhone 4 is just 6 months old.

Disk suite shows wrong devices

I have built a number of meta devices using onlide disk suite all worked fine . Had to do a recovery of the operating system to restore root and var partitions from tape . In doing so had to rebuild path-to-inst.
there is now a mis match between the information held by the OS and that held in the meta databases . Iit all works fine but metastat displays the wrong disk names .
does anyone have any idea how I can update meta db without having to rebuild the entire disk suite config

I think you'll simply need to remove the metadb and recreate - see this article for a similar situation

Windows Blue Screen of Death when using PC Suite

I bought an E63 recently and by it's very nature I need to be able to link it to my laptop for uploading/downloading data. Laptop's a Sony FE11S running XP SP3 which connects successfully with the E63 via cable or Bluetooth. Trouble is, I need to import all of my contacts from the PC to the E63 but in PC Suite, as soon as I click on <contacts> <file> <import> it crashes bringing up the blue screen. Tried all the latest software versions including the E63, tried the Nokia PC Suite removal tools, tried only loading essential (windows) programs and still it crashes! It was over two weeks ago that I contacted Nokia support and all that I've received is a succession of emails (from different people each time) telling me more or less to do the same thing and ignoring my comments and questions, eg. is their a log file somewhere that would tell us where the problem lies? Tried telephone support a couple of times, hung on for 15 minutes each time only to be cut-off . . ! Beginning to regret I bought a Nokia if this is the extent of their so called support . . . unless there's someone out there who might have a clue as to what's going on . . . any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for that. Screen says:

(c) Nokia E63-1 (223.02)
Going to "Reinstall PC Suite Support" it comes up with a message that says, "PC Suite Support is up to Date".
BUT, I have discovered that turning off Kasperski anti-virus everything springs into life without crashing! So although I can now load my contacts, etc it would be nice to cure the problem so that I don't have to switch Kasperski off everytime I use PC Suite. I tried putting PC Suite in Kasperski as an exception (accepted program) but that didn't help. Any further thoughts? Thanks.

What are the things taken care while using multiple suites?

Hi all,
I have created a plugin which sends the current file path to an url,
its working fine with debugging in Visual studio 2005 and while it is added to the Adobe Illustrator its works only once.
That is its sending the file path only for one file. While i tried for the second time its not working
I am using following suits in my plugin
AIDocumentSuite
AIFilePathSuite
AIActionManagerSuite
AIUnicodeStringSuite
AIURLSuite
I am using the "AIURLSuite" for calling the url and it is calling the url multiple times while its used alone, and its only working once with the multiple suites.
What are the things taken care while using multiple suites? , is it neccessary to release all variables and the suites after completing the task?
Should they released in the same order in which they are acquired?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
The problem was with the "sAIDocument->GetDocumentModified(mod);"
The "GetDocumentModified" is crashing after executing once, i just removed that statement , and now
i am forcefully saving the document with out checking the modification status!
Its working fine now!
Could you please tell me how can we lock a plugin , or a particular function in a plugin.
There is any specific standard to use the GetDocumentModified function?
Thanks and Best Regards

Resized partition using Disk Utility and now Windows 7 will not boot

Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me!!
I had previously used Boot Camp to install Windows 7. However, I later realised I had not given myself anywhere near enough disk space as I started using Windows for things I hadn't originally planned on using it for.
Anyway, long story short, to solve the problem I uninstalled some applications on my Mac OSX and used Disk Utility to decrease the size of my Mac partition. My plan was then to reboot to Windows and use a Windows application to increase the size of the Windows partition. However - I coudln't even get that far.
Upon decreasing the size of my Mac partition (succesfully) I restarted my Mac in order to boot to Windows. However, I was greeted with a message along the lines of "unable to boot to Windows please insert boot disk and press any key" (I can't remember the exact message).
I was wondering if anyone knows of any way to restore my Windows partition, retaining all of my previously saved files on my Windows disk. It's probably a long shot, but the thought of losing everything I have been working on for the last few months is a sickening one.
What does give me a bit of hope is that, if I click Boot Camp it seems to recognise that Windows 7 is installed as the option that appears is to uninstall it.
Furthermore, if I view partitions in Disk Utility, a "DISK0S4" is listed. However, it's only at 20gb - if this WAS my BootCamp partition previously, it was originally at something around 60gb (I think - either way, definitely bigger than 20gb!).
On top of this, my current Macintosh HD parition is at 260gb and with the DISK0S4 partition at 20.21gb, there seems to be some space missing... I'm hoping this is the files I've been working on over the last few months!
Anyway, I've done some searching on the net and it *seems* that GPT fdisk *might* be my savour. I've downloaded it but have no idea how to use it and don't plan on playing about with it as I could no doubt do some real damage. If it is likely to solve my problem however, I'm certainly more than capable of being walked through what I need to do.
Please help!

Hi Christopher,
I also have problems with Windows rebooting after partition resize trying to reduce Mac side and increase Windows side. I do not see the BootCamp partition labelled as such while running disk utility. The Windows partition shows up when I boot up while pressing the ALT key. However, when I try to run Windows, it says " error loading operatig system".
I also followed instruction and went through to run gdisk successfully. Results towards the end.
What can be done? Windows still does not boot and It shows ? Suspicious MBR at sector 0.

Using disk images for learning games?

Hello, I've 2 g3 imacs running 9.2.2, and they are for the grandkids to use learning games on.
The kids are very hard on the software disks. When I found out about disk images I made them up, now to install them properly. The games are installed, but where to store the disk images? The desk top icons for the games will work after the disk images have been double clicked and the mounted disk image appears on the desktop, but when the imacs are turned off the mounted disk image is lost. How or where does one put the disk images in a safe place so the kids don't get at them, and the disks are mounted every time, without actually starting, when the Mac is started? Start up menu?
I'm planning on multiple accounts with them having a standard account with game privileges so they don't mess the whole thing up. If their accounts get too messed up for me to repair I figured on maybe deleting the account and opening up a new one? Any Ideas are very welcome.
Thank you,
EZ

Hi, EZ -
You're quite welcome.
I had a thought with regard to the disk image files. Are they in a .smi format, or are they in a .img format?
The .img format requires the assistance of the Disk Copy utility in order to mount the image. This is the standard format generated by the user version of Disk Copy. It requires that Disk Copy be available to Finder to act as a helper app in order to mount the image.
The .smi format does not - .smi stands for Self-Mounting Image. The user version of Disk Copy can not make this format; but I have seen a utility to convert .img format to .smi format. The slight advantage with this format is that Disk Copy does not need to be available to Finder.
In both cases the default is to run a checksum verification before the image is finally mounted. The delay caused by this verification can be inconvenient - verification is intended to confirm the integrity of the image after it has been copied, transported, or downloaded, but is usually not necessary when the image resides on a hard drive.
The checksum verification for .img file types can be removed. With the image not mounted, open Disk Copy. In Disk Copy's Preferences (Edit menu), uncheck the Verify Checksum item. Save the Preferences window. Then select Convert Image from the Image menu, navigate to the disk imge file from which you want to remove the verifiaction, select it and click the Open button. A new window will appear, similar to a Save As type window. Leave everything in that window untouched (unless you want to change the base name of the file - the extension .img should be left intact) and click the Save button. The image will be mounted, the original disk image file will be deleted, and a new disk image file created. Unfortunately creating the new image file takes quite a while since it is creating a new one, not actually modifying the old one - but it does get rid of the intrusion of the checksum verification requirement.
I verified on my G4/500 running OS 9.1 that a .img file (one I had made from a game CD years ago) dropped into the Startup Items folder will be mounted automatically at the end of the startup sequence. I also tested with an alias to the .img file, and it, too, worked fine - the disk image was mounted automatically at the conclusion of the startup sequence.
When you make the alias to the disk image file (the .img one), be sure you are placing it into the Startup Items folder, and not the Startup Items (disabled) folder.
If you have the machine set to use Simple Finder (which removes Finder's keyboard commands and many menu options for Finder), that may interfere with items in the Startup Items folder being run at startup. Or, it may not - I have not checked that.
*** Edit ***
I have verified that the alias to a .img file will mount the disk image even when the machine is booted using Simple Finder.
Another thought, related to Multiple Users - if you do decide to set up Multiple Users, and the disk images are of type .img, be sure to authorize Disk Copy for each of the accounts for which the disk images are to be mounted. If you have the disk image files in a .smi format, since Finder views that file type as being an application, you would need to authorize each of those disk image files for each account which is to have access to them.

TS2570 Question re: "Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility"

I've worked my way through the step-by-step trouble shooting in the TS2570 article up to "Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility". So far, every step results in the same outcome - my formerly trusty 2007 Intel duo core iMac (24") will not start up, freezing on a grey screen with a blinking question mark on a folder. I don't completely understand this next step. I have both a Leopard and a Snow Leopard disc. I'm not positive whether these were for the iMac, or my old Macbook Pro. I assume this makes a difference.

Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
A flashing question mark or globe appears when you start your Mac
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
In most cases the problems may be caused by one or more of these:
a. Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
b. Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
c. Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
d. The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
Note that the information I have provided is what Apple recommends, If other users suggest different solutions than found here, then be sure what they recommend does not impact on your warranty, if any, or ability to get continuing Apple service.
Please don't start removing drives or changing cables unless you know what you are doing and have exhausted other non-invasive alternatives outlined here. If you perform any work yourself that is unapproved by Apple, then you will void any warranty you may have and lose all further Apple Support.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.
Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing The Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

E71 Using Nokia Suite to connect to the internet

This may be a Nokia Suite problem but the first time I add my E71, via Bluetooth, to Nokia Suite I can use the phone to connect to the internet successfully.
After I shut my PC down and reboot the connection will not work, Nokia Suite tells be that it "Cannot establish a network connection".
The cure is that every time I wish to use I have to remove the phone from Nokia Suite then add it in again.
This is a laborious process and should be totally unnecessary.
I'm using Windows 7, the laciest version of Nokia Suite, have the latest software on my E71 & all the latest drivers, Bluetooth etc, installed.
In functional terms it seems after that initial use something is not getting 'released' or 'reset' properly.
Nokia please help me why your software is not working.

Problems erasing window bootcamp partion using Disk Utility

Hi guys, ive removed my windows partion before in the past without any hiccups, but this time i seem to have run into some problems.
If i go into boot camp assistant, it wont let me proceed beyond the start menu. When i click continue it says
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
So i went into Disk utility to erase the Windows partion, only now i get this message
"Volume Erase failed
Volume Erase failed with the error:
MediaKit reports checksum operation failure."
I dont have any other programs such as diskwarrior, and in the past Disk utilitiy served me well. Im just wondering whats going on here, and if anyone is able to help fix this problem? Thanks in advance

Hi thanks for your help man, but i still cant get it to restore the partion. If i go into the partion tab i see my two partions under the Volume scheme... but i cant do anything as it is all greyed out. Would you or anyone else have any recommendations... or should i invest in Diskwarrior? at the moment disk utility is just not working out for me. Thanks

Burning info CD's using Disk Utility?

Ok, I've got a combo drive (a few years old, on my iBook G3). I'm trying to burn information CDs using Disk Utility. I've got the dmg in disk utility, I select it and click burn. It then asks what speed I want to burn the disk at etc etc.
So, I select the slowest setting (4x) avaible. After its been burning for about 2 minutes, it said the burn ended because it had no burn underrun protection.
What is wrong?
