Want to delete Xsan Volume - REALLY

Unusual question... I really want to delete our Xsan Volume.
We're adding bigger drives and additional RAID's to our Xsan and want to "start from scratch" so to speak.
I want to see if anyone has any ideas about how to do this. Here is what I was thinking:
1. Unmount all Xsan clients/controllers
2. Stop Xsan volume
3. From Xsan Admin, delete the Xsan Volume (I can't seem to delete the Storage Pools, first though)
4. Save
5. Unlabel the Xsan LUN's
6. Save
7. Add new ADM's to "existing" RAID's
8. RAID Admin - get them ready
9. In Xsan Admin, label new LUN's
10. Create new Volume and Storage Pools
Does this sound right?? Any additional ideas??
Thanks in advance.

Hey jag,
That sounds almost perfect... only thinkgs I can think of:
5. wasn't sure if you could do this via xsan admin.. usually I do this via /Library/Filesystems/Xsan/bin/cvlabel -u
7-8, when you add the ADM's, you'll want to delete/recreate the arrays so that will take a while. Technically you could grow them although I hear that takes just as long, so might as well do it from scratch properly (that's what I've heard is the right thing to do)
Once you redo all your arrays/luns, make sure to reboot all the machines in your Xsan volume so they see the LUNs properly.

I want to delete a volume curve (not points) entirely but don't know how?

Hi all,
I have a very simple project on Garageband.(2 tracks)
One is an imported Wav, which is a mix of instruments.
The other track, is a MIDI recording from one of my VST instruments. During the recording of this VST organ, I played (via MIDI)with volume up and down, plus Leslie on/off from my keyboard knobs, and those messages were recorded. Now, I want to DELETE all the volume info within that track but found NO way to do it. Also, I've deleted the "points" on that specific track's curve but there's no way to entirely DELETE the curve.
Help is appreciated.
Thanks

how do I delete volume Midi messages within that track?
i don't think you can... easily at least. your "volume" control likely controlled the "velocity" of the notes. the velocity can be changed in the track editor:

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
but you're likely to find you have to do groups of similar velocities since selecting all of them will top/bottom out with the highest/lowest velocity.

I've updated my phone and I've made a backup. but now it says I must enter my code to restore all my files and I haven't got this code. If I cancel the process or choose something else, all my stuff will be deleted, and I really don't want that.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!

If, for some reason, your backup got encrypted and you don't know the code, you'll have to set up your phone as new device and start all over again without the backup.
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.
If you can't get pass the lock screen, connect in recovery mode and restore the phone, you'll have the option to reset the lock secreen passcode.
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

You remove them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them in itunes and sync.

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.

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.

Project Manager - How do I delete a volume?

Project Manager - i just rescanned everything - and set it to exclude drive2 volume
- then I noticed after - an old drive2 was previously in there - I don't want it in the list anymore...
- how do I delete it from browse mode.....?

So you really want to delete the PM database file from the drive?
USE WITH CAUTION AND AT YOUR OWN RISK
plop this into Terminal:
rm -i -v /Volumes/volumename/Logic7\ PM\ Database
press enter
If the file is correct,
press y
volumename is your volume - formatted for use in Terminal

My daughter and i use the same icloud account and apple account but now on my iphone and her ipod we have each others contacts. i want to delete her contacts on my iphone without losing my contacts on my phone or her contacts on her ipod. I

My daughter and i share the same Apple ID account and I cloud account but I just unwittingly merged them on my Iphone 5s. Now i have all her contacts and my own. I want to delete hers from my phone and stop from her receiving my emails and my contacts. Can i fix both problems without erasing my contacts on my phone and her contacts from her ipod?

Hi,
I got my phone a couple of years ago and when it came in the mail, I wasn't home so my brother decided to set up my iPhone for me because he was so desperate to check the phone out. My iCloud account has been his account and it's been set up under his e-mail since the day I got my phone. Once he bought an iPhone, he set it up under the same e-mail account and now we share it. It's so annoying because all of my pictures and stuff are stored in my iCloud, but that's under his e-mail and I really want a new iCloud account but I want to transfer all of my iCloud information and pictures to my e-mail without losing them. Randomly, my brother has been receiving some of my facetime calls and I even turned it off so that it is only set on my device. I didn't even know he received any of my facetime calls until the other day when my friend told me. Now, our contacts are shared and I don't want that either. At one point during the summer, he was receiving my text messages as well. I turned all of those off under settings so they wouldn't be shared on his device, but I need to find a way to carry my iCloud stuff and set it up in a my own completely separate account. Please, please help me. I really am getting so frustrated with it and neither of us want to delete our accounts because we don't want to lose our iCloud stuff.

An alert mesage e.g(Are you sure you want to delete)

Hi all,
How can I come up with the alert message within the jsp pages?
Is my first time to do that? Actually I want to delete the records. But before
I delete I want to get an alert message e.g. are you sure you want to delete?
If you press OK button then it proceed to delete. And if you press CANCEL
Than it will go back to that same page.
Please help.

Such an alert must be programmed as client side, not server side code. It's not java but javascript and it runs on the client's browser, not on your server.
You include an element like:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript1.2">
function askDelete() {
return confirm("Do you really want to delete this?");
</SCRIPT>
<INPUT TYPE="submit" name="delete" value="Delete"
onClick="return askDelete();">An onClick handler on a submit or image input field that returns a value blocks the action if the return is false.

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)

I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one. How do I do this?

I have 2 accounts and want to delete/remove one. How do I do this?

Look at Store > Purchased > Apps for each of the accounts in turn.
Media isn't really a problem, but as you've no doubt discovered updating apps from multiple accounts is unnecessarily complicated.

I want to delete all my existing mail accounts and reset

I have three mail accounts. I want to delete all these accounts and set up a new account. How do I do this?

Shootist007 wrote:

I may add that this is true, but "only" for mails stored on the Mac, not for the mails stored on the server.
So, if it's IMAP accounts, it should not matter unless mails have been moved to mailboxes "On My Mac". Really careful with POP accounts if the mails in there matter!
Anyway, at least archiving mails before deletion, or even better, a proper backup, is mandatory.

Hello. I have two version of Office for Mac. 2008 and 2001. I want to delete the 2008 version. If I use the removal tool within the Offie 2008 folder, is there any danger of the 2001 version being removed too. Thanks Dave UK

Do you mean Office 2008 and 2011 or do you really want Office 2001? I think you mean 2011 since Office 2001 wouldn't make much sense.
The Office uninstaller should be able to identify there are two versions and allow you to delete either one or both.
