VM Server installer does not recognize RAID configuration in Intel ESRT2

Hello,
I'm having a big issue here trying to deploy my third Oracle VM Server.
I have:
- A Intel Server Board S3420GPLC
- A Intel Xeon X3440 processor
- 16GB DDR3 ECC Memory
- Six 1TB Hard Drives
What I'm trying to do:
- Create a RAID array using Intel ESRT2 (Embedded Server RAID Technology II) using all the discs (done)
- Install Oracle VM Server into the array
- Install some VMs....
The problems:
- When I boot the VM Server installer from USB stick I got an error saying that there is not enought memory. This issue is solved by typing "linux mem=15GB"
- I got a screen per disk warning me about that the discs need to be initialized and all the data will be lost
- When I go to the disk partitioning screen all the disks are listed separated, the installer simply don't recognize the RAID configured before.
What I already tryied:
- Change the RAID controller from ESRT2 to Intel Matrix
-> Didn't solve.
- Create a Driver Disk with the disk images supplied by Intel here
-> I launch the installer using "linux mem=15GB noprobe=ata1 noprobe=ata2 ....". When Im asked by the installer to load the drivers it doesn't recognize the disk, so i couldn't load the drivers.
Now, the questions:
- Is there another driver I can use do make the vm server installer recognize the RAId configured?
- Is there a better way to setup this server, considering that it needs to be "self contanied" (store and run vms)?
Edited by: xyp on 14/10/2010 11:37

So...
- I have installed VM Server into ordinary linux partitions on the first disk.
- I have created a big partition in the first disc with the space not used for the VM Server
- I have created five equal partitions on the other discs
- I have configured software raid 10 using mdadm
Now the problem seems to be solved, i have a storage repository with almost 3TB and can deploy my VMs.
Unfortunatelly only my windows 2008 r2 hardware virtualized vm is working, the linux paravitualized guests not. but this new issue will be a subject for another topic.

ESX1 5.5 Installer does not recognize local storage

Brand new install, new server (we're new at this too), ESXi installer does not see local drives during set up. Server is an IBM x3650 M4, with an M5110e_R5 RAID controller.
we've tried with no RAID setup, we've set up arrays, removed them again, no luck. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance

Very likely "multipath -ll" doesn't show up any path to sdb from the device mapper (neither it is in /dev/mapper)
- Make sure you've rescanned disks from OVM Manager (Select the ovm server disks page) ;
- try to perform "multipath -d" to see if it takes the path from sdb into account. If it is, run "multipath" no option
- try to reboot the OVM server since it's not too late ;-)
Other than that I'm afraid you'll have to figure out why device mapper doesn't map your disk; the ovm server should have "script" install on it. Do the following :
cd /root
script figureoutwhyitsucks.log
multipathd -k
show config
<ctrl>+D
exit
That file would be helpful to figure out.

Windows XP re-installation does not recognize any hard drive - help

Hi,
I have X60s Model: 17044JU
I have original XP installed.
My computer is very slow and I am trying to reinstall XP from my CD (and format HD so I clean everything).
When Windows installations blue screen shows up and loads drivers etc then it tells me that it does not recognize any hard drive.
I thought I may need SCSI or RAID drivers but since I don't have floppy I can not load them.
Any help how to install new XP would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi
I changed BIOS setup from AHCI to Compatibility and indeed it worked.
However there is easier way to reload new system on thinkpad.
I didn't know that but you can press ThinkVantage button when you start your laptop and IBM utilities start up.
Then there is an option to reload the system to be in original state as shipped from the factory. It loads or drivers and initial programs. It also formats your hard drive.
I found it pretty convenient.
Thanks for help.

Snow Leopard Installer does not recognize Hard drive in disk utility.

I first at the suggestion of apple technicians because of other problems erased and partitioned hard drive. Now when I go to reinstall Snow Leopard it does not recognize the Macintosh Hard Drive, not even in disk utility. Any help will be greatly appreciate.

To make sure we understand everything correctly, you are saying that when you start up from the Snow Leopard DVD & run its copy of Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, it shows only the DVD installer disc itself in the list on the left of Disk Utility's window? There is nothing else there?
Also, what are you booted from when you try to make an image of the installer DVD, the DVD itself or something else? Are you using Disk Utility or something else to make the image?
This seems very weird for sure. If you were running from some hard disk copy of the OS, I would suspect that its copy of Disk Utility or some OS support file was corrupted, but if you are doing this from the DVD that is extremely unlikely unless the DVD itself is physically damaged.
Apart from that, pretty much the only thing left is a damaged hard drive or other hardware failure in your Mac.

Adobe Media Server Installer does not run

I am trying to install Adobe Media Server 5 on Windows 2008 R2 64 bit on i3 logged in as an administarive user over RDP.
The installer simply does not run - a very short hourglass then nothing. Not logs in applicaiton, system of setup logs.
The bundled Adobe Media Gateway installer runs just fine.
Tried a machine restart, and still no go...
Any ideas gratefully received
Simon

ok, got it... go properties on the file and 'unblock'
This was because I downloaded it on another machine, and then copied it over. Windows 2008 knew it had not been made locally and silently blocked execution.

Safari Installer Does Not Recognize Mac OSX After 10.5.5 Update

I have been trying to reinstall Safari on my Mac, and after downloading the installer it says that my hard drives does not contain OSX and cannot be installed. This is after I did the OSX 10.5.5 update. I know I can reinstall from the OS disc but it is a hassle really.

Hello,
Sounds like your Software Updater is confused. Locate this file: com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Try Software Update now.
Also, whenever you do an update like 10.5.4 to 10.5.5... run Disk Utility to Repair Disk Permissions BEFORE and AFTER the update. That can fix a myriad of problems with any updates.
Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select the FirstAid tab, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Takes about a minute to run depending on the size of the drive. When it's finished, Quit Disk Utility from the Menu Bar. That's all there is to it.

SAP App Server 7 does not recognize DOM mechanism of XML security provider

Hi all,
I am trying to do XML signature by Java servlet, and am using Sun WSDP 2.0 (WebServices Developers Pack) for this purpose.
SAP Netweaver 7.0 (which implements Servlet API version 2.3) on Windows2003
JRE 1.4.2
SAP Developers Studio
SWSDP 2.0
Code snippet:
import javax.xml.crypto.dsig.XMLSignatureFactory;
XMLSignatureFactory sigFactory =
XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM", new org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI());
This gives an exception:
javax.xml.crypto.NoSuchMechanismException: Cannot find DOM mechanism type
This means that the SAP app server cannot get DOM mechanism from the provider (org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI).
I tried the same code in a stand-alone Java program, and it worked perfectly. Again, the same program when loaded on tomcat also worked. I tried with JWSDP 1.5 and the results were same (ie. worked on tomcat, worked in a stand-alone java program, but failed in SAP app server).
Does anyone know or have any idea of this issue? Why is the SAP app server rejecting the DOM mechanism of other provider? Is this a bug?
To recreate this issue, just download the xmldsig.jar for the package JWSDP2.0 (or 1.5) and write the above 2 lines in the servlet.
Thanks in advance.

This problem is solved. I am putting the reply here so that others who stumble upon this error can benefit.
Add the following line to explicitly include the provider before the getInstance
Security.addProvider(new org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI());
XMLSignatureFactory sigFactory =
XMLSignatureFactory.getInstance("DOM", new org.jcp.xml.dsig.internal.dom.XMLDSigRI());

Sun ssh does not recognize client configuration option

Running strings on /usr/bin/ssh, Solaris 10 10/09 (and earlier) shows OpenSSH_3.8, among other things. OpenSSH FAQ says that the client config (.ssh/config file) option ServerAliveInterval was introduced in version 3.8, but that option throws an error from Sun ssh. Works on Mac OS X, and Ubuntu.
What is the OpenSSH version that the Solaris 10 Sun ssh is based on, and does anyone know why this option doesn't work? It's a handy option, too.
Dave

Well, just because its based on the named OpenSSH version, it doesn't mean it has all its features. I can imagine that somehow Sun syncs all bugs, but not necessarily all features (at least not automatically).
A reason for this is that the SunSSH is quite different in terms of privilege seperation, auditing, PAM and GSS.
Anyway, the feature you requested is actually implemented in OpenSolaris:
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6268400
.. but its not (yet?) backported to Solaris 10.

Installer does not recognize installation disk on Macintosh

I am installing PhotoShop on my new Mac Mini (previously had CS5 on my MacPro). I've gotten all the way through the installation process to the point where it is asking for my "Adobe CS5 Web Premium" disk to be inserted. It is already inserted, but is not recognized. I've ejected and re-inserted the disk; I've re-booted; I've tried over and over again, but it is not "seeing" the disk, even though it's right there on my desktop. I can't get past that point.
I have successfully re-installed Acrobat Pro and Illustrator previously with no problems. I'm trying to install PhotoShop separately. Help.

You can try downloading the Suite and using the serial number from your disk to activate...

Lion server installer does not finish

I installed Lion Server from the App store, and it says that it installed successfully, but when I click the Finish button, nothing happens. About This Mac shows Lion 10.7.2, not Lion Server 10.7.2.
Any suggestions or advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

At this point the problem seems to be that the DNS records are bollixed up. I have my domain name server through Zoneedit, and their servers are showing my IP address as 24.xxx.xx.xxx, which is correct. When I do lookup for tehart.net I get an address of 73.xx.xxx.xxx, which is wrong. The lookup for www.tehart.net shows this:
www.tehart.net.
10800
IN
SOA
www.tehart.net. admin.www.tehart.net. 2011122701 86400 3600 604800 10800
www.tehart.net.
10800
IN
NS
www.tehart.net.
www.tehart.net.
10800
IN
A
10.0.1.3
The forwarded address should be 10.0.1.4. I've got no idea how to fix this, and the Apple instructions insist on modifying DNS records, without supplying decent examples of how they should look.
I don't know if this is causing the problem, but if you've got any idea, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password" This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.
Tricia

I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
Did it ever work?
Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

Untrusted server cert chain & does not recognize the certificate authority

I have java code that makes an ssl connection to an HTTPS server.
The code workes fine when I connect to a server that has a
certificate that was issued by a recognizable authority.
But when I try to connect to our test HTTPS server which has a
certificate that was created by ourselves for debug, I get this
java exception: "untrusted server cert chain".
When I connect to our test HTTPS server with a browser, I get
this message from the browser in a popup window:
"www.xyz.com is a web site that uses a security certifcate to
identify itself. However netscape 6 does not recognize the
certificate authority that issued this certificate."
At this point I am able to accept the certificate in the popup
window and continue.
Question: In my java code how can I accept a certificate
that was signed by an unrecognizable authority just like the
browser can. Or during debug, how can I set an override
to accept ALL certs no matter what.
Thanks.....Paul

You will have to import your server test certificate into your client machine keystore. By default the keystore will be the 'cacerts' file in JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security, get your server certificate in .pem format and use keytool to import it to the client.
keytool -import -alias <anything> -file <full path of .pem file> -keystore <full path of cacerts file>
The keystore password is 'changeit' by default, keytool comes with the JDK.
The reasoning behind this is to prevent the misuse of test certificates, the client has to consciously import an untrusted certificate. When you install a real certificate on your server the client will be automatically validated if bought from a trusted CA (Thawte, Verisign).
Take a look at the java.security.KeyStore class, you can use it to view your certificate chain.

How do you configure ORDS in a Weblogic Cluster? Getting "This installation has not yet been configured" on second server...

We currently have ORDS 2.0.9 installed on WLS 10.3.6 running on Windows 2008R2 behind an F5 load balancer. When the load balancer sends the connections to the server we configured first, everything works fine. When the load balancer sends the connections to the scaled out server, we get the ORDS page with "This installation has not yet been configured". The defaults.xml and related directories got created on the second server automatically. We tried changing the debug.debugger and debug.printDebugToScreen entries in the defaults.xml of the second server, but nothing happened. What are we missing? How do we configure the second server?

The issue has been resolved. After looking at the directories and defaults.xml that WLS created on the scaled out server, we figured that the configuration files were not created/copied from the original server. We ran the configuration from "java -jar ords.war setup" on the second server, restarted the application from WLS and everything started working as expected.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups
