Volume mounting, but missing from Server app

After reconfiguring my MDC (which had something screwed up in OD), I'm having an issue with my Xsan volume listing in Server app. It shows that Xsan is up and running, but the volumes window is blank. I was able to successfully add a backup MDC and they both are able to find each other without issue, however neither the MDC or backup MDC show the volume in the window. They do, however, both mount the volume without issue.
There is one issue, that I know of, that I'm pretty sure this is causing an issue for. Whenever I add the profile to a new client machine the volume does not mount without forcing a mount using "xsanctl mount Media". Once mounted, there are no problems that I can tell, however I haven't used it with this issue long enough to tell. Essentially it seems like it can find the volume, it just doesn't know that it's available without telling it to look for it. I've searched for a long time to try to find a config file that may control this behavior, but I can't identify anything yet. If anyone knows what file controls the display of the volumes or how to fix this issue I would appreciate the help. Also, I already have 25TB on this volume so destroying/recreating it is not really an option I would like to explore.

It would seem that the Xsan configuration stored in LDAP does not include your volume. You could try these steps to resync the configuration files stored in /Library/Preferences/Xsan and the configuration in LDAP:
Important: Make a backup copy of the /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory on each MDC.
If I'm right about LDAP not including your volume, the secondary won't have any .cfgp file in its /Library/Preferences/Xsan directory--unless you put it there.
Remove the secondary MDC from the SAN.
On the primary MDC:
Check that your volume name appears in /Library/Preferences/Xsan/fsmlist. See the fsmlist(4) man page for details. You will have to use the full path to that man page, e.g. "man /System/Library/Filesystems/acfs.fs/Contents/man/man4/fsmlist.4".
Update the LDAP configuration with: "sudo xsanctl pushConfigUpdate". See the xsanctl(8) man page for more information. ("man xsanctl")
Your existing volumes should reappear in Server app when you do this. You may need to do command-R to refresh the view. If you don't see your volume, review the output of "xsanctl pushConfigUpdate" to see if it explains what failed.
Add the secondary MDC back to the SAN.
Assuming pushConfigUpdate worked, the secondary MDC should automatically mount your volume when you add it. The same should happen for any additional clients you add to the SAN.

  • ITunes audiobook downloaded but missing from Music app

    I purchased and downloaded an audiobook from iTunes but it does not show up in the Audiobooks section of the Music app.
    It shows up on the device when I enter the title in the iOS7 Search bar (so it definitely downloaded).
    It will play when I tap on the Search hit (so it downloaded successfully).
    When I tap the "back" button while it's playing I get to the "Audobooks" page in the Music app: but the book isn't shown in the list of available titles!
    So it's on my device but can only be accessed via Search.
    I've force-quit the Music app.
    I've hard-rebooted by iPhone 5.
    I haven't synched to my Mac in 2 years (not even sure my Mac iTunes is up to date)

    The exact same thing happened to me - I downloaded an Audiobook and it entered a black hole. This is ridiculous! I even tried pluggin it into my iMac and transferring purchases to my computer and then syncing it again that way and it did not fix the problem. It seems though that other audiobooks that I did purchase on my Mac and then transferred to my iPhone worked fine, but I'd rather not have to plug it in to my Mac.

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Can't login to server, from Server.app

    I have a very odd problem. After an clean install of Lion Server 10.7.2 i can't access my server from server.app or Server admin?
    I have tryied this solution but no luck http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?locale=en_US
    The servermgrd IS loaded?
    Anybody theres have a clue??

    As root go to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and edit com.apple.servermgrd.plist and change the "Disabled" boolean to "<true/>".  Then say:
    launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.servermgrd.plist
    For some reason that I have not discovered yet the system keeps changing the bool back to "false" on occasion.

  • Lion server doesn't delete open port service once added in time capsule mgmt from server app.

    I was trying to set a specific port to avoid file sharing conflict using time capsule as main router with lion server.
    I added a new public service in Server.app in time capsule section where you can manage Airport setting and open ports for mail cal vpn etc. I  assigned a port and given a name as requested. In my case a named "test"  and gave port number 5678 to try.
    Once I decided to delete this public service I noticed that anytime I make a changes in Server.app in Time capsule settings Server.app perform a refresh and the deleted servirce appear again and again with the same name and same setting in airport utility (ports management)
    The only way to delet it is to go in airport utility and delete that from there. But in the chance you want to make another change in TC managemnet from Server.app you.ll see the service deleted from everywhere magically appearing again in your airport device in my case a TC.
    Callled Apple and they said to investigate the forum.
    Now if I maje a change in Server app. TC section to add or remouve public service I have 10 usefull open ports (not enabled) in Airport ( TC)
    Any Help?
    Thx
    Jo

    I have been having this same problem, except that I cannot open basic ports through either app. I've tried opening the standard web services port on 80, but neither app (Server or Airport Utility) will open it. Apple support has been worthless.

  • Is there a way to reset keychain passwords from server.app?

    We have a Lion server and a number of Macs that authenticate with the server through open directory. On occasion users have forgotten passwords, and so I've reset them from server.app. I've tried both getting them to enter their password on the server, or setting their password to "password" with reset at next login set, but both methods result in an issue whenever the user logs in where they're prompted to create a new keychain or use their old one (which is not possible because they have forgotten the password to unlock it). This is frustrating for me and users.
    Am I doing something wrong, or is this how it is supposed to work? It'd be a real pity if the latter was true, and would go against the idea that "it just works" on the Mac.

    That's the way it works. Due to the nature of a Keychain, and what is potentially stored in it, once a password is forgotten you need to use a new Keychain and all data within is "lost". If there were a way to reset the Keychain password then you can grab anyone's Keychain, insert it into another account and then use the reset password to get all of the data out of it… at which point there's little point to password protecting it at all.

  • Why are some apps missing from 'background app refresh'?

    I noticed Runkeeper (current version) is missing from 'background app refresh'. In order to start tracking a run, it has to be enabled in BAF...but it's not there. I've rebooted and reinstalled - no dice. Any advice?

    Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.

  • RichTech's Atomic Web Browser Missing From The App Store

    Can anyone please check and see if they are able to locate and download this alternative browser on their iPad? I'm with a friend and we were trying to load apps on their new iPad and if you click on an outside link or try to search for it you get no results. It's like it's missing from the App store entirely.

    Looks like Atomic Web browser was pulled from the App Store due to the use of private APIs in violation of Apple's policy:

  • My Photoshop CS5 is missing from the App. directory but the folder to reinstall has vanished. How can I reinstall???

    I do not have a disc & believe I got it when I bought this desktop in 2011. All other software in the Creative Suite works fine but Photoshop says: "Some of the application components are missing from the Application directory. Please reinstall the application." Can anyone help me???

    If you registered your Adobe applications, you can retrieve the s/n by accessing your Adobe account at the Adobe corporate web site.
    You can do a search for the trial version.
    You are NOT addressing Adobe, and I'm not inclined to do all your legwork for you. Sorry.

  • Pages is missing from my apps on my ISAC.  I have reloaded the original disc, but nothing happens.  My version is 10.6.8s

    Pages is missing from apps on my IMAC version 10.6.8.  I reloaded the apps disc I received with the computer, however, it still isn't in apps.  I tried to download the Pages app from the store, however, it isn't compatible with my IMAC.  Any ideas?

    Some confusion here perhaps? The grey applications disc (disc 2) contains iLife, not iWork. iWork is a seperate DVD which you would have had to buy.
    It's possible that the current versions of iWork applications available from Apple may not be compatible with Snow Leopard. There have been changes to introduce the Versions abonimation in place of 'save as' for instance.
    If so, you need to seek a DVD of iWork '09, which will now only be available from third-party vendors and will be getting increasingly scarce.

  • How to get my Drobo FS to mount in Mountain Lion Server.app

    Hello Everyone,
    Thanks in advance for the help. I am struggling with getting my drobo fs connected to my AE to show up in the server.app. I want to use my drobo fs as a mass storage device for the server since the server has a small hard drive. But I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to show up when I try to start the time machine service or include a folder on the drobo in the file sharing service. Does the server.app recognize or see network drives? The drobo connects as a server to the ML server, do I need to install drobo dashboard to get the server to see it as something else? I tried to create a share with the time machine option to see if it would mount as a local drive but it only mounts as a local. I think I'm on the right track, server.app only sees local drives but is there a way to get it to see my network drobo fs? Also, can I connect the drobo to the server (forgive me if this seems confusing), my mac mini via a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter? Would a direct connect change the way the mini mounts the drobo thus enabiling server.app to see the drive as local?
    Thanks again for the help....
    Also, when the drobo is connected to the AE it is assigned an ip 10.0.1.2, I connected it to my mac mini and the mac mini to my AE via wifi and the server.app had a fit because the ip addresses changed. I was unable to get the drobo to mount. I could reset the drobo as I do not have that much information on it. I could backup the drobo and restart anew which, I think, would allow the mac mini to create an ip for the drobo.

    I guess in another forum that I posted this the question is not clear.
    I want the drobo which is basically a NAS to show up when I try to implement the time machine service in the server.app. I have the drobo mounted and all is working fine but when I try to implement time machine in server it only shows me my internal (local) drive and not the drobo. I am wondering if it is due to the drobo connecting to the mac as a server itself (ip address assigned). Would an adapter help me with this? Such as a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter or ethernet to USB 3.0? would that create another ethernet connection on the mac or could I get the mac to see that connection as it is a USB or thunderbolt connected drive?

  • Items Listed In Library, But Missing From iPod/Hard Drive of Computer

    I recently had my latest disaster with iTunes wiping out the content of my iPod. I hooked up the iPod to the computer to charge and to add on a few more items. When it updated, it started from scratch and updated some 1700 items or so directly from my computer hard drive into the iPod, as if they had never been on the iPod in the first place. Further, there are still something like 2000 more items that were on the iPod before this, but now are missing from its list. These items are songs that are no longer on my computer's hard drive. These items are still listed in the iTunes library, however.
    What do I do to get these items accessible again on the iPod itself? Whatever I have tried so far with updating does not do anything but have the iPod/iTunes deal with the items that are still on my hard drive of the computer. How can I get the full listing of 3700 items to play on the iPod again? Or do I have to start from scratch (this will be the third time I will have to do this if so) and reload all those hundreds of CDs back into the iPod manually?
    Thank you for any advice you may be able to provide!

    Were any of those exception edited with Photoshop or Photoshop Elements? If so and you can identify them, download the "Embed sRGB Profile" application from Toad's Cellar, unzip it and place on the desktop. Then take those files and drop onto the application. After the profile is embedded in the files try importing them again.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
