Win2k Server can't see the drives on Compaq VA7400 Disk Array

I have attached a Win2K server with (10/100MB) NIC to Cat 29478G, then connect the Gigabit Ethernet port to the SN5428. The VA7400 is connected to fc2 on SN5428. I can see all the drives on VA7400 in the SN5428 web admin page. The iscsi driver (v2.2.1) is installed and the status is ok.
However, I couldn't scan the disk from win2k disk manager unless I install the Veritas Volume Manager 3.0
Is it VxVM is a must for Cisco;s iSCSI solution?

Thanks mrfrase.
I am now facing another problem. I have attached all my devices together
I can see my iscsi status is active to the scsi routing instance.
I can see my array is presented in the SN5428 by "sh devices"
i can see my iscsi routing is active in the router
I can ping my server with iscsi driver installed
but the Cisco Psuedo SCSI drive is still not running!!!
(In Windows Control Panel->System->Hardware Configuration)
What is the problem?

Unless there's a disk in there, you won't see it.

I can't see the files on my USB disk

I know there are about 250 million threads about airport USB disk problems, but I can't see one with my specific drama.
I can connect, see the drive (its a LaCie 250GB) and move stuff to it via the airport. The problem is that I cant see the files once they are on the LaCie. The finder window will start to show each folder but after about 1 second all the folders dissapear and the finder says "0 items, 91.38 GB available".
Obviously the computer is reading the drive as it knows how much space is on there, and it can write to the drive - it just wont display the folders. If I connect using a USB cable then all is well, so its just the ***** airport!
Someone please help, I'm going mad!

The disk sharing utility creates separate folders which are not visible when connected to the AEBS, but are when directly connected via USB to your computer:
"Shared" > for all mainly shared files and folders
"[Username]" > for all user related files and folders when you use account to access your disks through the AEBS via Airport.
So if you first connect your disk directly to your PC, make sure you copy your files to the "Shared" directory (and not directly in the root), and if you did not connect the disk to the AEBS before, or the "Shared" directory does not exist, make this folder yourself.
Goodluck!

Music Server Can't See External Drive Formatted for WIN with Disk Utility.

Is there any reason an external drive formatted for WIN (MS-DOS(FAT)/FAT32 or NTFS w/ NTFS-3G/MacFUSE) with Disk Utility would not work for intended purpose? I have a music server (Bryston BDP-1) that uses an attached USB drive for storage/playback of music and can only read FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. I've tried both and neither is readable by the BDP-1, yet I have no problem reading/writing to the supplied 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32), as well as another 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32). Get Info shows; "FAT32" for all drives formatted as such.
Note: From what I'm told the BDP-1 uses a scaled down version of Linux for it's OS. Isn't that UNIX? Shouldn't it be compatible (Read/Write) with other platforms (i.e, Mac)? Bryston says the reason they use it because it's Open-Source. Does Linux only work FAT32 or NTFS?
I do have Fusion/XP, also access to WIN PC's, but I just hate to use it when I shouldn't have to. It makes no sense why the drive can't be read by the BDP-1 when formatted for WIN under OS X.
And there was one other issue, after the third try to format fro WIN the external drive suddenly began making faint clicking sounds instead of a spinning drive sound only when plugged into BDP-1 USB port. But it works fine when connected to iMac FW.

Drive: G-Drive Mobile USB/FW 750GB

Exchanged drive. Works now.

Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

Hi All
I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Time Machine over network: can't see hard drive

I've connected an external firewire 800 drive to our server and then chosen it in Server Preference as a drive that users can backup to, however when I try to select it in the user's Time Machine prefs I can't see the drive. Any ideas?

Is no one else having this problem?

Can't see NAS drives

I'm setting up the D-Link DNS-343 on a MacBook, 10.5.5. I also run WinXP via VM Fusion. Once I got the two drives past hanging at 94% format (deleted cookies per FAQ), I could access the NAS via the web UI from both the Mac and PC sides, but I can't see the drives in Finder or Windows Explorer. I've played with the settings, updated the firmware, etc., but still nothing. Any ideas?

It has to be mounted as a network drive. It just won't show up on the Desktop. Use the Connect to Server selection from the Finder's Go menu. Give the IP address to the NAS that was provided in the manual.

Airport see the drive but "connection failed" when trying to connect.

Hello everyone.
I connected a USB drive to my airport extreme. it does show in finder but whenever u try to access it I get the.
I can also see the drive in airport express utility but nothing shows up in Airport Disk Utility!
Any ideas???

Hello all-
I have the same problem. I have a WD 250GB My Book Drive (FAT32 Formatted). When I connect the drive to the AEBS, I get two problems:
1) When I select the option to secure the disk with the Airport Base Station Password, and then enter the password when asked, I get an error "User ID and Password are incorrect." However, if I secure it with a disk password, there is no problem.
2) My drive shows up as a Shared Drive in Finder, and I can read and write to it with no problems. However, it does not show up in the Airport Disk Utility as an Airport Shared Disk. Also, it does not show up in the menu bar either as a shared disk.
Any ideas?

Ultra 10 OBP can't see SCSI drives

I'm trying to get my Ultra 10 to boot off a SCSI drive. I've tried several controllers (SYM21002, SYM21003, and another 53c896 card) and several drives, but probe-scsi-all returns nothing. If I boot off an install CD (the CD drive is still IDE), I can see the drives and install an OS on them, but when I reboot it still can't see the drives at the ok prompt. I've tried OBP 3.31 and 3.29 with the same results in both. Any idea how I can get it to boot off a SCSI drive? Or, failing that, is it possible to boot a bootloader on an IDE drive, which then boots off the SCSI drive?

you say you can install with scsi drives, but on restart it won't boot? what is the U10 looking for? did you try boot disk ? the U10 may be looking to boot off the network or somewhere off..
I don't recognize the chip numbers... are they supported by Sun? I have only used Sun-branded scsi cards--- 375-0005 comes to mind...

I can't see hard drive attached to Airport extreme from Windows XP computer

I have a Windows XP computer on my network. I can no longer see the network hard drive attached to Airport Extreme from the XP computer. I can see it with all the MACs on my network and all the Windows 7 computers. I can connect to the internet with the Windows XP computer. I previously had no problem seeing the network hard drive attached to the airport extreme from the XP computer and one day it just disappeared. I have deleted and reinstalled Bonjour, not just Bonjour print services. I can print to a network printer that is not attached to the Airport Extreme. Help!

Using 1TB MyBook for TimeMachine - Can I Partition The Drive?

Hi,
I've just purchased a 1TB external hardrive that I've connected to my router.
My Mac has instantly recognised it and I'd like to start using it for Time Machine backups.
However, I'd also like to use some of the space to directly copy over music / movies / files etc that I can then share over the network with my other macs.
I'm guessing I need to partition the drive but Disk Utility can't see the drive and the browser based preferences for the drive don't seem to throw up any clues either.
One thing I've noticed is that under the Shared tab in a Finder window there are 2 apparent drives:
MyBookWorld (which has a standard sort of folder structure)
MyBookWorld-Backup (which is the drive name Time Machine recognises)
Would it be the case that TM will create the back up (around 200GB) and the remaining space will still be available to the 'MyBookWorld' shared drive until such a time that both those drives above meet in the middle?...
Has anyone else done this or does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Note that this is not officially supported and I've heard some reports of this being unstable. If you do this, make sure you have alternate backups - which, of course, you should anyway. See my [Mac Backup Guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/backups> for more on this.
However, I'd also like to use some of the space to directly copy over music / movies / files etc that I can then share over the network with my other macs.
You certainly can partition it, though you'll have to remove it from your router and connect it directly to your Mac to do so, I believe. Note that your backup partition needs to be at least 2-3 times the size of what you're backing up. Also note that you should not try to back up anything from the other partition(s) onto the backup partition... a backup stored on the same physical drive as the source is no backup at all. If the drive fails, all is lost.

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

Server Admin can't see hard drive with user's Sites folder

I have a G5 XServer with two hard drives running 10.4.10 co-located at an ISP. I had recently brought it home and did a clean install of the OS and put new accounts (mainly to host multiple web sites) on it that were different than before, and this time I installed the operating system on the second hard drive leaving the original in place.
Everything works fine EXCEPT that when using +Server Admin+ to set the Web Sites to point to the various home directories (click web, click settings, click Site, Click 'plus' to add a new site or 'pencil' to edit one, then click '...' to select the folder), +Server Admin+ *cannot see the new home directories* on the hard disk I am currently using. It can only see the old directories on the old hard drive.
(Note: I observed the same issue when trying to set the FTP root directory.)
How can I get +Server Admin+ to look at files on the other hard drive (the one I am booting from)?

Just type in the path to the directory you want to use. You don't have to select it via the File dialog.

That didn't work either.
It turns out that both hard disks were named the same (I don't know how I screwed that up), so I went in with Disk Utility and changed one of the names.

Red Hat can't see my drives for the install

I will be installing Oracle on our new servers, except Red Hat Adv. Server 2.1 does not see the drives in my HP external drive enclosure. Red Hat does see the drive array that is in the local server. Does anyone know how to make Red Hat see this drive attached via SCSI cable (U320)? Best regards

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to map network Drive manually? It would be better to provide more details about error message.
Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by Network Connection problem, please make sure your Client PC could access to Network Drive PC.
In addition, please check Network Drive PC security setting, if there is any firewall policy prevent this operation.
If still no use, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

There is no error. There is no connectivity problem. THe drives map automatically and always have. I can open up File Explorer and browse these drives all I want. I can open up Word and browse to these drives just fine.
However, when I open certain programs, and click File | Open, the mapped network drives just simply aren't there. I only see C and D and that's it.

Installed MacMini server and can't see hard drive on wireless printer

Hi, all, I installed a MacMini 10.6 server on Tuesday and am having an issue communicating with my printer. We have a wireless office and have a Toshiba printer and scanner connected to a wireless bridge which is then connected to our Airport Extreme. The set up has been very efficient for our small group.
Before the server was installed and connected via CAT5 cable to the Airport we were able to scan using our printer and see the stored files on the printers built in hard drive. But since the server was installed, we can print, but we can't see the hard drive on the printer.
What do I need to do in order to see that hard drive again?
Thanks
Ron

If you want to try to replace it yourself, [iFixit has good repair guides|http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Repair/MacBook-Air-Hard-Drive-Replacement/86 0/1].
As I take the parts out, I tape them to a piece of paper with clear packaging tape and write the step number (and screw color from guide) next to them. Making sure you've got the correct tiny screw in the right place is a bugger without doing that.
