Windows 2003 Guest cannot access "SCSI" virtual Disks with /PAE enabled

I created a Windows 2003 EE R2 guest with 16 GB memeory, 48 GB System disk and 4 virtual SCSI disks for Microsoft Cluster services. It all worked, but limited Windows to 3.75 GB memory. When I added the /PAE option to boot.ini, the memory was available, but the virtual SCSI disks were unavailable. Has any else seen this behavior? Is there a work-around? since I need 4 additional virtual disks for the cluster, I cannot make them all IDE drives.

/OVS is on local storage and /OVS/sharedDisks is an OCFS2 formatted logical volume mounted from a Fiber Channel SAN.

It works fine without the /PAE flag, so I am wondering if it is an issue with the Windows driver for the sd devices presented by the virtual machine emulator and if there is a way to select a better driver.

Cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.

when Update to 10.7.2 ,I cannot access to any site with ssl connection and fail to open safari and keychain, unless restart computer and login in with Guest account.
OS:10.7.2
Macbook Pro 2010-mid 13inch

I also have the same problem, however if I use Firefox or Opera sites with ssl connection work fine. Still, I can't use Google Chrome (ssl), Safari (ssl), the Mac app store (generally), or the iTunes store (generally). Both the iTunes store, Safari and the app store won't respond, and Chrome displays this error: (net::ERR_TIMED_OUT). The problem persists regardless of what network I'm using. Also, when trying to access the keychain or iCloud, the process will not start (will hang). I didn't have these problems at all before updating to 10.7.2.
Sometimes rebooting helps, and sometimes not. If the problem disappears by rebooting, then it only lasts a few minutes before it reappears. It is very frustrating, especially since there doesn't seem to be any obvious or consistent way of which to fix it.
I'm also using a Macbook Pro 13-inch mid 2010.

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...

Does it work in the new account?

Is it possible to access the Windows 2003 guest VM from the VM Server?

Hi,
I have only one physical machine. I install VM server and VM Manager (using the VM Manager template) on the same physical machine. Then I create aa guest VM for Windows Server 2003. Can I run Windows Server 2003 in GUI mode like guest VM using VMWare Workstation? This setup is strictly for learning and I don't want to get another PC in order to access Windows 2003. If it is possibl, what other software must I install on the VM Server (Dom0) in order to for this to work?
Thanks for your assistance.
Phil

Cannot Access USB Hard Disk

I have a USB hub connected to my airport with a printer and USB hard disk attached. I can see in manual setup in AirPort utility that both the printer and the hard disk are set up and connected. The printer prints wirelessly.
My problem is that I cannot find the hard disk on my computer in order to take and put in files. Where is the hard disk located???

In the Airport Utility /Disks/File Sharing make sure 'Enable file sharing' is checked. Select your choice for access (Secure Shared Disks).
Airport Disk Utility: I have enabled 'Automatically discover AirPort Disks' as well as 'Show Airport Disks in the menu bar'. My action for the Airport is 'Connect with Password'.
More often than not every disk I add to the hub (which is attached to the base station), shows up immediately. When it doesn't, I simply use the menu bar icon, click on the airport name and click 'OK' once the disk availability box appears. My oresent setup is to remember the password in my keychain.
Note: since updating the firmware as well as Airport application, I have had no issues with hard drive access or, in particular, printer access.

Windows 7 install cannot see Boot Camp disk

I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13" using Boot Camp.
The Boot Camp assistant successfully creates the partition and reboots into the Windows 7 installer. I get through the language selection, click "install now" then I am presented with an error dialogue that says "Windows could not retrieve information about the disks on this computer."
Anyone have any ideas? I have tried reformatting w/ Boot Camp assistant a few times, each time it's the same error.

Turns out it was a bad image of Win 7!
Got it working... then realized how much I disliked running Windows on my Mac and removed the partition.

Help! Trying to access a share disk with file sharing- problems

I have limited knowledge of file sharing, keychain access, and Macs in general.
My school uses the Mac OS 9's for our schoolwide "Accerated Reader" program (a common program for schools accross the US).
I am unable to get the 4th grade class room's Mac computer to access the share disk "AR Folder," which means that the Accerated Reader program won't work in this particular classroom.
I go to "Keychain Access." The infor I get for "kind" is "Apple Share password." I go to "Unlock Keychain: AR Computer," and I type in the correct password. I click "unlock". The next window shows "Keychain: "AR COMPUTER" on disk "MACINTOSH HD" 2 items. My choices are "AR Main Lab" and "AR Main Server." When I click on both (one at a time), and on the next window, when I click "go there" the following error message appears:
:An error has occurred. Unable to go to this item's location. An operating system (-5016) occurred."
What can I do from here on? WHat could be wrong? Help me troubleshoot!
Thanks!

Hello sylves,
First..many people may be hesitant to help answer your posts as it deals with a school and security issues and passwords. It is not too good to mispell "accelerated". This could indicate someone trying to get into an area they don't have permission to access.
I offer sevreal ideas.
1. Perhaps you could explain your position in school.
2. - Ask the tech people at school for assistance. I know this can be had at times. I work in a school with all PC's and only a few Macs so they are not quite up to fixing our mac problems.
3. - post more info as to if these computers are able to use internet or are they just going to the school server etc.
I post this as ideas how to get more help and not disrespectfully.....Jim

How to access a shared disk with two users account on same Mac

I am seeking how to share / access at same time with two accounts on a same Mac a disk that is shared with a TC or an AEBS. When a user account is connected to the shared drive and when I switch to the 2nd user this 2nd user cannot access / see the content of the shared drive and it receives an error message. I want to use this shared drive to store some GB of movies I do not want to have on my MacBook Pro SSD but still bring able to access them from the two accounts that are set on my Mac. Just like for an internal drive. I have tried all I could but it does not want to work. How do I do that ? Thanks.

If you were running this software, the Mac's Bonjour would automatically "discover" The Linux machine.

Server 2012 R2 iSCSI Target - Multiple targets per iSCSI Virtual Disk with CHAP

Scenario I am trying to achieve is this:
Windows Server 2012 R2 serves as iSCSI Target configured to have 1 iSCSI Virtual Disk
2 Hyper-V servers connecting to this target with iSCSI Inistator and have multiple targets for that iSCSI Virtual Disk using CHAP
**These 2 are nodes in fail over cluster, this iSCSI is added as a CSV.
Issue that I have, is that you can only have 1 target per iSCSI Virtual Disk
Both Hyper-V servers can connect to this LUN without issue when I add both initiator IDs to the target, but once I enable CHAP, you can only put one initiator ID in the "Name" field, so I can only connect from 1 Hyper-V server.
Do you know of a way around this?

From my understanding, "chaptest" is a single target, my goal was to make 2 targets to the same iSCSI virtual disk.
So if you were to right click the iSCSI virtual disk that "chaptest" is assigned to and click "Assign iSCSI Veritual Disk...", then select "New iSCSI Target, and proceed with the wizard it removes the "chaptest" target
and adds the new one just created.
My goal was to have 2 targets to 1 iSCSI VD, but seeing your screenshot, with 2 initiators connected, that goal doesn't seem needed anymore.
I was under the impression that the "User name" = the iscsi initiator IQN name, which had to be unique. That is why I thought I would need 2 targets.
Thanks

Error: "Cannot access the web server" with BlazeDS Turnkey

Help! I'm new to Flex and BlazeDS and Eclipse. I was trying to setup a Flex Project using a BlazeDS/Tomcat server running from Eclipse on Windows XP per the example in flexbandit.com/archives/55#comment-269 and in (www.infoq.com/articles/blazeds-intro).   I am NOT using the Eclipse Flex plug-in. I'm using Flex Builder for the Flex code.
Here's what I've done:
I installed BlazeDS and tested http://localhost:8400 - That worked.
I setup Tomcat in Eclipse. - That seemed to work.
I created a Dynamic Web Project in Eclipse - That seemed to work.
I created the bare-bones BlazeDS Configuration under the Eclipse project and then created a basic HelloWorld java class.
I added the destination in the “remoting-config.xml” file found in the c:/projects/workspace/ReportGenTool/WebContent/WEB-INF/flex” directory:
<destination id="HelloWorld">   <properties> <source>HelloWorld</source> </properties> </destination>
When I started the application server by clicking on the server's green play button in Eclipse and then tried to open localhost:8400/ReportGenTool, I got the 404 error : The requested source (/ReportGenTool/) is not available which according to the instructions is fine.
Next I created a Flex Project, but when I try to validate the new Flex project configuration, it gives me an error "Cannot access the web server. The server may not be running, or the web root folder or root URL may be invalid."
When I validated the server was running after setting up the BlazeDs Turnkey, I saw the BlazeDS page.
Now when I bring up http://localhost:8400 I get:
      Directory Listing for /
      Apache Tomcat/6.0.14
My eclipse project is named ReportGenTool and I've overwritten the WebContent directory with the META-INF and WEB-INF directories from the BlazeDS installation (C:\blazeds\tomcat\webapps\blazeds). According to Eclipse the server is running.
My Flex project is named ReportGenTool and is located in another directory away from the Eclipse project directory.
     My root folder is: C:\Projects\workspace\ReportGenTool\WebContent
     Root URL: is http://localhost:8400/ReportGenTool/
     Context root is: /ReportGenTool/
Any idea what might be wrong? What didn't I configure that needs to be configured?
Thanks in advance.

This is not working because your router has a direct to your web server that is not through the outside interface which is needed for nat to occur, for this to work you need to setup a loopback interface as nat outside and policy route traffic to there for your server traffic
Bu if your server is internal why do you need nat at all? Can you not use bind with views that might be simpler

Two virtual disks with same name - how to safely delete one of them

I mistakenly created a disk in a repository that uses the same friendly name as an existing disk that is in use by a virtual machine.
Can I safely remove the second disk with out OVM trying to delete the original disk as well?
Thanks

Yes, you will be safe, bacause OVM uses the disk ID to identify the disk.
You can also use the little triangle just to the left of the virtual disk name. It will open a message saying if disk is in use by a Virtual machine.
Also, the GUI will not let you delete a disk which is in use.
If you want another way, you can "edit" the disk in the OVMM GUI, read its ID, cancel the edit, and go delete it from a root command shell on the VM server.
