Xsan Breakdown (please help an Xsan newbie)

Hi Guys,
I am a complete newbie to Xsan, but I know it's something that I need in my studio soon. Can some explain the process involved in creating a Xsan environment? I have done quite a bit of research for a few months now, but still don't understand certain things. On the network do you install Xsan on the clients? Controllers? If someone could explain the whole process of setting it up that would really, really help me!
Thanks

I would answer your question in two parts:
1) in terms of Xsan concepts (what is it?)
http://www.afp548.com/article.php?story=xsan-intro&query=xsan%2Bintro
2) Installation procedures (very clear step by step guide):
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/xsan/XsanAdminGuide.pdf#search='xsan%20admin%20guide'
3)If you really want a book:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321369009/104-3960579-4599151?v=glance&n=28315 5
I would strongly suggest to go through the documentation. Even if someone told you step by step, there are information in the documentation that's valuable.

  • Please help!! Newbie here really need help. Numlock, divers, backup, recovery disk

    Hi everyone
    I finally found where to post
    I really wish someone could or would help me
    I have a lenovo g550 for about 4-5 years And I was happy with it
    few days go I cleaned installed windows Ii got a friend to help infests he put it on the d drive then c drive And c drive gainsaid he formatted my d drive chlorinating on therein was a real unswayable I kind of sorted it out. And I learnt a lot bout the oem partitioning deleted that though. Can someone tell me If I can boot or recover my previous vista from there.?
    If not its fine but then I would like to know is can I change the oem partition with the image or recovery (whatever you call it) of the new windows  7 or how to go about creating a recovery disk.
    After installing the new windows my PC seems to be fine but I don't know If I kept all the drivers And whatever goes with it. What are all the drivers I need And where do I find If I have them or not. I am not really worried about my data as I want to start fresh.
    Another thing I noticed is my number keypad stopped working all of a sudden. When I press the numlock button it beeps and the light does go on and off. When its on it doesn't give me numbers e.g... If I press 5 it actually highlights where the cursor is.
    And my mouse/trackpad is not the same as it was before. When I had vista on the right of the trackpad I could use it to scroll up and down and the bottom of the trackpad allowed me to scroll left to right. This function is no longer there. I have to use the arrows to go up and down.
    Somebody please help as I do need my laptop for work purposes.
    THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!!

    hi any drivers you should need you should be able to get through support drivers&downloads link at top of this sites page bud you could use partition magic to clear all partitions and create new multible one if you wish the rest wait till after you put drivers in and see if probs still exist bud

  • Serial Number Not working for XSAN. PLEASE HELP!

    When I purchased the XSAN software it was version 1.0 well I installed the software on all the machines and then did the updates to XSAN 1.2, but when I go to add clients serial numbers in XSAN ADMIN 1.2 it does the Metadata Controller (which is running the XSAN ADMIN program) just fine I can see the clients but when I enter my password it says "Valid Serial Number with No Expiration Date" so I click OK. Now it has a green light next to it, but when I click Save Settings it goes back to orange and give me the error "Error while writing settings (Invalid Serial Number)". Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    When I had an issue similar to yours, it was because I had typed the serial number in capital letters (just like the license showed) but it had to be in lower case. When I switched them it worked just fine.

  • Please help a Photoshop newbie recreate a text effect... :(

    If someone would be kind enough to help me out on this, I've been working on it for last few hours... the .psd is the effect that I want to accomplish.
    I downloaded the effect file here: 108 Free Glowing Neon Social Networking Icons » WebTreats ETC
    With the help of a few community members & my own trouble shooting - I figured out that the effects file had been converted to object. So I copied & saved the styles (see arrows).
    Steps I did after are noted in the red box on the screenshot, essentially:
    created a new text box
    applied first saved style
    duplicated layer
    applied second saved style
    duplicated layer and created plain black text
    converted all to shape
    Here's what I attempted & failed miserably to create the outline appearance that the .psd text shows 
    7. selected> color range >dropper >black
    8. when selection was visible, created transparent layer
    9. tried applying stroke
    10. Hide the black layer
    I still cannot get it to work.  Do I need to create a mask?
    Can some one PRETTY PLEASE give me a step-by-step from this stage that I'm on?
    I'm a newbie, please be kind... Please!
    I have a client deadline & need to figure this out.- ANY help MUCH appreciated!!!

    See Screenshots below

    This is a java script set on the droplist on the change event;
    if (xfa.event.newText== "Vacancy")
    TextField1.presence="visible";
    else TextField1.presence="hidden";
    Text Field1 is set as hidden
    To accomodate your second example, add to the same field:
    if (xfa.event.newText== "Study/Leave")
    TextField1.presence="hidden";
    If this is confusing, let us know

  • Please help a complete newbie get to grips with website project

    Hi all,
           I've been following a lynda.com tutorial called Creating a First Web Site with Dreamweaver CS6. I have limited HTML and CSS knowledge, but i thought i'd be fine if i didn't stray too much from the advice offered in this tutorial. The problem is, the tutorial is designed around creating a responsive website. Whereas the site i'd already designed in Illustrator uses fixed width & height type rusted metallic backgrounds and boxes that the text sits on is mean't to sit on. Anyway, all was going well until i hit the section that deals with creating a mobile layout; in particular a mobile.css. Obviously my fixed parameter boxes, created in illustrator, don't adapt to being scaled down from their original settings.
    I hope i'm making some kind of sense, since i've had very little sleep because the little one has a cold.
    So my question is, do i create a whole new mobile layout in illustrator? So for example my desktop background is 1366x1000, so i''d want to scale this down to 480x800 for mobile. Likewise the same for the rusted metallic text boxes. The header box at the top of the page is 940px by 185px, so i'd create one that's roughly (just a crude guesstimate) 380px by 85px etc etc. I've uploaded a still shot of my project here, so you get a better idea of what 'm talking about - http://imageshack.us/f/15/ba9t.jpg/

    As you can see my knowledge of coding is abysmal, i'm definitely more of a designer than a developer. Can any one of you benevolent, intelligent and hopefully patient individuals please offer me some help and advice on how to progress, and also how to clean this cluster f*ck of a nightmare coding up. So that i can transform this into a decent desktop/mobile website. Do i have to create a whole new mobile website. and some how link to it?

    Hi & welcome to the Dreamweaver Forums!
    Illustrator or Photoshop are OK for making images and design comps.  But don't use them to generate code.  The code is hopelessly rigid and unstable; not suitable for use on real web sites.
    You'll be doing yourself a huge favor if you close DW for about a week and learn everything you can about HTML, CSS and web design theory.  Without a working knowledge of fundamentals, DW is going to be a frustratingly steep learning curve.   If you come to grips with code first, DW is fairly easy to learn.
    Tutorials sites:
    http://www.html.net/
    http://w3schools.com/

    http://phrogz.net/css/HowToDevelopWithCSS.html
    http://webdesign.tutsplus.com/sessions/web-design-theory/
    #1 Don't paint yourself into a box.  Web pages need to be flexible to work in different displays and devices. 
    #2 Page height is determined by content; not explicit values.  Your CSS layout needs to be built in such a way as to accommodate both long and short pages.  Otherwise it will fall apart when visitors change their browser settings. 
    #3 Positioning (APDivs or Layers) are pure poison in primary layouts.  98% of what you do requires no positioning whatsoever.  Learn to use CSS floats and margins to align elements.
    #4 Start with one of the pre-built CSS Layouts in DW.  Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.  Choose a layout from the 3rd panel and hit the Create Button.  SaveAs index.html.  Add your own images, text and CSS backgrounds.  Examine the HTML & CSS code in Split View to learn how the page is structured.
    Feel free to post back if your run into any problems.
    Good luck!

  • 10.4.7 CPU Whine!!!! Please HeLp.. Newbie!!!!

    Hi Guys..
    I recently got a MBP (week 23) standard config.. As far as i remember i didnt notice the whirring or buzzing sound (known as CPU whine) until i upgraded to 10.4.7..
    Well its pretty faint but i can easily here it when i am in a silent room n the thought that i have it now really makes me hear that n indeed this bugs me.. This is my first ever Apple product n first ever laptop (I am a newbie)..
    I talked to a guy on apple support n told him about the issue n he said it might be the inverter buzz n is a hardware issue.. BUT i told him tht it cant be hardware as it goes away whn i turn on the photobooth or i do CPU intensive tasks, so it seems to me that its a software thingy..
    So i have two quetions:
    1) Is it a hardware issue or not??? If it is then i am gona send it back (ny suggestions on tht too will be appreciated)..
    2) Other than the slight whine, ITS PERFECT, totaly NO ISSUES.. Jus wondering tht i turn the photobooth on to make it silent what effect does it make on the battery??? Cant figure out
    Any help will be much appreciated as i need to make a decision tht whether i m gona send it back or keep it (plz provide suggestions on tht too if you can..)
    Kind Regards

    Hello Singh1699,
    Yes, I already talked to one of the Apple staff in Ireland (I lived in Swiss) and they admitted that it IS the hardware related problem. They said the build is not somehow fully compatible with the core program of MAC OSX causing the noise from CPU and, quite a few times, with the power invertor.
    You can search my posts here for more information about this issues. What I would recommend you to do is try to get a hold of Apple store, ask them for a replacement (you can even put the noise on phone for them to hear as I did). You have to be quick before your 14 days of return expires. That what I did and now I am waiting for my new one to arrive.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers,
    James

  • Please help a Mac newbie!

    I need to buy a MacBook Pro for my son--it's required for the advertising graduate school he will be attending. I am only familiar with PC specs--so I'm not sure how many bells and whistles we need to put on a MacBook Pro to make sure it performs with no glitches. My son will be using this computer for photo and video editing, page layouts, website production, copywriting, and general personal use--iTunes, etc.
    First question--2.4 GHz or 2.6 GHz processor? Do we need the fastest processor for video editing?
    Second question--2 GB or 4GB of RAM? I've read that Macs handle memory much better than PCs. We need a minimum of 4 GB of RAM on our PC to handle video editing functions. Can we get by with 2 GB on the Mac?
    Third question--Final Cut Studio 2 or Adobe Premiere, et. al. for video editing?
    Finally, can you truly edit video on a laptop with an external hard drive connected? (If so, should the external hard drive be firewire or is USB okay?)
    I appreciate any and all advice from experienced Macbook Pro users!
    On Edit: Which screen glossy or flat? I'm truly not sure which is better for his needs.
    Message was edited by: samdogmom

    As someone who works in advertising and instructs at an advertising school, I would strongly recommend against the glossy screen. It may look better at first glance, but that's because it tends to blow out contrast a bit. The matte screen will give you something that is not only more accurate but more reliable to calibrate with when you're trying to make what's on your screen match exactly with a production press or even regular printer.
    Regarding the other questions, I think the processor speed (2.4 or 2.6) is mostly preference and cost. If you can afford it, it will help him when video editing or when working on a 500 mb photoshop file.
    I'd definitely go for more RAM. Right now, Final Cut is simply more pervasive. That may change in the future, of course. Hopefully by then, either he or his future employer will be flipping the bill.
    As far as external drives, you can indeed edit video with one and I've had many people warn me against using the internal drive if you're doing really heavy duty editing (it works fine if doing a home movie or personal project). In this case, get a Firewire 800 drive. For truly superior performance, he should consider a very fast RAID setup. If editing an uncompressed Quicktime file for example - a :30 commercial will usually be around 1 gigabyte - most computers and drives aren't even able to play such a file. It will play with extreme stutter if at all if you're using your internal drive as your scratch disk. My guess is he won't be working with files as big as these, though.
    Now I will offer one word of caution on all this. I'm not sure what your son is intending to study (copywriting, art direction, graphic design, video, web design, etc.), but you really don't need all this power if, say, he's studying to become a copywriter and is going to be taking one video editing class. Of course, if money is not an issue, the more computer muscle the better. Waiting for video to render or for a photoshop filter to be applied to a megalarge file can never be too quick.
    Sorry for such a long entry. Good luck to you and your son.

  • Please help with ViewStack(Newbie here)

    Hello, this is probably a very simple question fo most of
    you, but I just started learning Flex and have been trying
    different things. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
    What I'm doing now is creating a few simple visual components
    with back and next buttons and I want to use viewstack,
    particularly selectedindex, which is what someone recommended, to
    cycle though them in the oder I like.
    What are the recommended steps to follow to do this?

    You could try something like this:
    <mx:ViewStack id="stack">
    <mx:Canvas label="First Child">
    .....<mx:Button label="Next" click="stack.selectedIndex=1"
    />
    </mx:Canvas>
    <mx:Canvas label="Second">
    .....<mx:Button label="Back"
    click="stack.selectedIndex=0"/>
    .....<mx:Button label="Next"
    click="stack.selectedIndex=2"/>
    </mx:Canvas>
    </mx:ViewStack>
    That's not a very programmatic way to it, but it gets the job
    done. What I would do is put the Next and Back buttons outside of
    the ViewStack and then you do it a bit more programmatically:
    <mx:Button label="Next">
    <mx:click><![CDATA[
    if( stack.selectedIndex+1 < stack.numChildren )
    stack.selectedIndex = stack.selectedIndex +1;
    ]]></mx:click>
    </mx:Button>

  • Sudo command broken! (UNIX people-- please help a stupid newb :(  )

    To talk to unix people, go here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=735

    to fix an that app's perms usually this works:
    sudo chmod -R =rw,+X /Applications/VirtueDesktops.app
    or
    sudo chmod -R =rw,+X,g=u /Applications/VirtueDesktops.app
    a. This returns all files in the app to their usual UNIX defaults.
    b. Some apps will require r/w permissions on the group to function.
    c. All OS X apps should bear admin (80) as the group ID
    d. Some apps require owner be set same as user, most like owner set as root.
    Snow Leopard's Sudo visiblepw flag is no longer set as it was in 10.5.x
    The "visiblepw" option must be entered into the Defaults
    section of the /private/etc/sudoers file in order to allow
    sudo to run in 10.6 when a tty is not allocated. From the
    sudoers manual:
    "visiblepw
    By default, sudo will refuse to run if the user must enter a password but it is not possible to disable echo on the terminal. If the visiblepw flag is set, sudo will prompt for a password even when it would be visible on the screen. This makes it possible to run things like "rsh somehost sudo ls" since rsh(1) does not allocate a tty. This flag is off by default."
    Using visudo, Add the line "Defaults visiblepw" to the Defaults section of the /private/etc/sudoers file and the following error message will no
    longer appear:
    sudo: no tty present and no askpass program specified
    A valid workaround is to use the
    "-S" (capital S) option with sudo.
    I noticed you used su with sudo, that is not cool.

  • Please help this Mac newbie

    I just got my first Mac two days ago. I bought a duo core iMac used off eBay. I love it so far, and I felt I got a good deal as the guy I bought it off of left his whole iTunes library for me to enjoy.
    Anyway after I uploaded all my cds into iTunes I updated the firmware, as it had kept popping everytime I logged back into Mac OSX.
    After doing so I was shocked to find that my iTunes library and all my personal settings in firefox etc... were gone!
    All the files are still there but I was wondering why this happened, and if there was way I could just roll back te update or something (I think thats what they call it in Windows). Or if there was an easy way to get my same iTunes library back, as there are many duplicate folders and cds on here for some reason.
    Thanks for any help

    gter you double click on your hard drive icon you will see a little house at the top that says "home" click on that and you will see a music folder. Click on that and you will see an iTunes folder. Click on that and you will see an iTunes music folder. Click on that and you will see all your music songs. I've found out where my songs are that have an exclamation point by them. I open the library window and drag that song and plop it in it's appropriate place in my library. Then I delete the exclamation pointed song. Now, there must be a way to take them all at once and stick them in your library. Maybe u just drag the folder iTunes music and plop it down in your empty library window. Anyone know?

  • Please help the newbie!

    I've created a photo gallery in Flash CS3 that contains 2 UI
    Loaders (one for a graphic title for the image, and one for the
    image itself) and have tested it and it works fine. I even
    published the file as an independent html file and it seems to work
    fine when tested in the browser too. My problem is that when I
    place the .swf into my html page in dreamweaver and test it, the
    file shows up, but the loader info doesn't work. The images don't
    load.
    Here is the code I have set up in Dreamweaver -
    Within the head, I have this:
    <script src="../Scripts/AC_RunActiveContent.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
    Within the body, I have this set up for where the swf gallery
    is supposed to be:
    <div id="content_main">
    <script type="text/javascript">
    AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

    Can anyone help? Thanks so much. I appreciate any help I can
    get.

    Two suggestions -
    1. Please help yourself by using a subject line that is
    descriptive of your
    question/issue. Can you imagine how many posts there are that
    have exactly
    this subject? Later when you want to find this thread, you
    will be deep in
    the mud of other newbie posts.
    2. When you post a question about problems with your layout,
    please always
    post a link to the uploaded page? That way we can all examine
    the page's
    behavior, look at the code, and give you a precise answer.

    This part tells me that port 5060 is being blocked somewhere when it tries to connect to SNATMAP to start the SIP process. Some questions:
    How are you connected to internet?
    What make & model of modem are you using?
    Are you using a separate modem & router or a combined?
    Do both do NAT?
    Do you have VoIP?
    See if something at http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page3.html#_ports or http://www.ralphjohnsuk.dsl.pipex.com/page4.html helps.
