Xserve Admin Not Working

We have recently installed an Xserve RAID at our office connected to our Mac Pro via two fiber channel cables. The problem is when I open the Xserve Admin App it does not detect the Xserve when I try and add the system thus I cannot monitor it. Is there something I need to do to connect to the Xserve? The Xserve RAID mounts on the desktop and functions fully with the Mac Pro just not with the Xserve Admin tool.

Hi
By this: " Xserve Admin App" I'm guessing you mean RAID Admin? If that's what you mean you connect a standard 'straight-thru' ethernet cable from either one of the RAID's two NICs to a switch. If there is a DHCP Server running either from the server itself or a Router then the RAID should be able to pick up an IP Address. Launch RAID Admin, select Add System and it should show itself there.
What I like to do is have both NICs connected to the network, one NIC set to DHCP and one set as a static address. Alternatively you can connect one of the NICs to the network as a whole and connect the other NIC to the other network port on your Server (the MacPro) define those two ports with an IP address range different to what the rest of the network is using. If you use that method there is no need to specify a router address.

  • Share point in server admin not working correctly... I think

    I suspect that the share point in server admin is not working correctly. In workgroup manager when I click on a user and then click on the "home" tab, under the full path field I see a file path of:
    afp://server.mydomain.com/Users
    However if I go to Server Admin -> AFP -> Share Points then click on the Users share and then click on the share point tab below, enable auto mount is disabled. How can this be possible? I thought for a directory to show up in home in workgroup manager it had to be set as an auto mount. Has something possibly corrupted? And what?

    Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:
    On the server, all printer queues are set up with only lpr and ipp sharing enabled with the PPD setting for each printer set to Generic Postscript. We found that setting the PPD to the printer specific one on the server caused problems when clients tried to use printer specific options, like paper tray selection, etc.. The selection would be undone, apparently because the driver on the server would override the previous settings. Using Generic Postscript allows the client PPD settings to go through unmodified. Our printers are general a mix of HP LaserJets and some Sharp Copiers.
    All clients use lpd to the server queues with the printers' actual PPDs configured. Using ipp is superior in that printer feedback (jams, out of toner, etc) makes it back to the clients, but ipp only works when the client, the server, and the printer are on the same network. If the ipp client is not on the same network, the client spooler immediately goes into a paused state and the print job is stuck on the client.
    Using lpd to the server queues works reliably, but there is no feedback to the client. Jobs disappear from the client queue and go to the server, appearing to the user as a successful print. If the printer is down, there's nothing they can see or do about it.

  • 301 Wiki SSL redirect via Server Admin not working

    I can't get http://myserver.com/wiki to redirect to https://myserver.com/wiki. I have other 301 redirects to send users to https pages working fine. How can I fix this? Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated. (Mavericks/Server Admin 3.1.2)

    Regarding the redirect, I don't really understand why it's not possible. You can edit the non-SSL website in Web and add a 301 for /Wiki to redirect to https://myserver.com/wiki. In fact you can redirect the entire site to SSL - but that is problematic. I can understand why Mavericks server would be designed to automatically use SSL for wiki logins, if it's available. I only looked at redirects because this was not working. Without a redirect or with a redirect - I can login to Wiki via non-SSL or SSL. Where (specifically in which text file) are these redirects created using Server Admin written to? I can't find them in apache2/httpd.conf. Thanks again for your help.

  • WAS Java Administrator password ok but logon to Visual Admin not working

    Hi,
    I've got a situation with one of our NW 7 Portal systems where logon to both the Portal and Netweaver Administrator application using the Administrator password is ok but the filesystem based visual administrator tool logon does not work with the same password. The correct passwordhas been set in configtool so the secure storage encrypted file is in sync.
    From the Java security trace files I can see that there may be a problem with the "Security Provider" logon ticket configuration as the message issues when the logon to the visual administrator occurs the following trace info is written :-

    I've looked at the following SDN links on a similar issue but I'm not 100% sure the offline configtool process will resolve :-

    Can anyone suggest how best I can get access to the "Security Provider" settings to validate the correct settings are in place to enable the visual administrator to authenticate properly and connect.
    Regards,
    Brian.

    Another development !!!!!
    This is weird......
    I start the Visual Administrator and enter the correct password for the administrator user but get the "error while connecting" after a short while.
    I then enter a wrong password for the administrator user in my next attempt to start the visual administrator and get the "User authentication failed" pop-up straight away.
    I then try another connect using the correct password for the administrator user and..... it connects properly !!!!

    Thius means I can at least get access to the Visual Administrator but I can't explain at the moment why this strange behaviour is happening.

  • Remote Server Admin not working from outside of network for 1 server

    Our company recently changed ISPs and I had to change our two 10.4 server's IP addresses. We have a mail server (intel xserve) and a file/web server (quicksilver g4). Both servers have two network cards in them. The problem is two-fold:
    1- I can successfully manage the Xserve machine locally on our network and from my home. However, I can only manage the Quicksilver g4 server locally. Any kind of external access is not even acknowledged.
    2- I'm not sure if I missed any steps when changing IP addresses for these server-based computers. Also, I'm not sure if I correctly set our dns names to the correct IP address.
    For some background, this is the exact IP update process I used for each server:
    Quicksilver G4 (file/web server) - Installed network card #2 and configured it with the new Public IP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. In Server Admin I set our website to use the new public IP address. (network card #2 has no firewall device in between it and the internet.)
    Then, I configured the default network card #1 to a static, yet private IP address that's behind our DLink firewall device with the rest of our network.
    Intel Xserve (e-mail server) - Network card #1 was the only one setup before our network change. It had a static, public IP address. When we changed ISPs, I configured network card #2 to the new static, public IP address supplied to us by the new ISP in the "System Preferences/Network" panel. This new IP address is where all email traffic currently gets pointed to. (All mail is successfully sent and delivered.) Until our former ISP gets shutdown, I still have network card #1 configured to the older static public IP address. After the old ISP is shut off, I plan on changing network card #1 to a static, private address.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
      Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    What should I check in AD?  I am by no means an expert with AD.
    Yes, I am using the same client OS.
    I am talking about RDP over the internet, like from home to the office.  We have a static IP assigned to the router from ISP.  A static internal IP assigned to the server on the LAN.  And the router port forwards 3389 to the assigned IP. 
    It was working fine before we reinstalled Server 2012.  These are the steps I took when reinstalling:
    1. format drive and install OS
    2. rename the server
    3. install SQL server
    4. Install TFS and SharePoint
    5. Add Active Directory role and promote to Domain Controller
    6. Add domain users
    7. Enable remote access on the server and add users to remote access list

  • Print Queue Management via Server Admin not working

    We have Xserves (10.5.8) running the Print Service for queue management to our printers. Clients print through the server just fine.
    When the printer jams or is otherwise paused, print jobs pile up in the queue as expected. The queue can be seen and managed by logging into the server, going to Server Preferences/Print & Fax and selecting the print queue.
    However, when the queue for the paused printer is viewed within Server Admin/Print, the queue shows as empty and therefore can't be managed. We want to use Server Admin for this function because:
    1) Server Admin can be run remotely on a workstation, so no login to the server required.
    2) We can assign Print Service management rights to select non-admins so they can manage the queues.
    Any ideas on why Server Admin fails to show spooled jobs? Is it working for anyone else?
    I am using Server Admin version 10.5.3 which are the latest available that comes with Server Admin Tools 10.5.7. We had been running 10.5.7 on the Xserve and it didn't work then either.

    Here's a bit more information about our setup and our experiences with Apple's CUPS implementation:

  • Xserve fans not working

    What would be the best suggestion if the fans stop working on the server? Is there a way that these can be replaced. I'm not sure about going about ordering parts for the server since I have not really dealt with Apple before. I know that the AppleCare just ran out about a month ago.

    You can order replacement fans as a service part from Apple. They are a user-replaceable part -- it takes about 2 minutes.
    It's necessary to know though what specifically caused the fans to just stop. In the Xserve G5 there is a bank of 7 fans together... I can't see mechanical failure just causing all of them to stop. Is there anything in the system or console logs? When you say AppleCare ran out was it the 1-year warranty or 3-year extended protection plan?

  • ADMIN not working as wifi password HELP

    I cannot get the mifi page to accept any password.  I've tried "admin" the password on the back and several passwords I typically use. None of them are working. My husband somehow unsecured my mifi over Christmas and we ended up with a $480 wireless bill! I've got to get this connection secure again. Telephone support at Verizon just said "well, i don't know  then" Someone please help!

    Hello jgthomas,
    I want to make sure that you can configure your Mi-Fi device in the way that is most convenient for you!  Thank you very much SuzyQ and jimfitzgerald for the excellent responses.  To piggy back off of Jim, the best way to regain access to the Wi-Fi Admin page would be a factory or hard reset.  This will also set your device back to the original security settings to protect your device from unauthorized Hotspot access.  Here is a link to a search within our support site with a list of our Mi-Fi devices hard reset instructions.
    http://search.verizonwireless.com/?market=53520&q=Mifi+hard+reset&p=null&ss=null&b2eFlag=N
    Once the device has been reset "admin" will be the default password.  Please let me know if I can provide additional assistance with your device.  I would be happy to help further.
    Thank You,

    Is this on a NetWare or OES Linux server? (as you've posted in the OES:Linux subform.)
    AFAIK there is no such page on an OES2/OES11 server. Which functionality are you trying to access exactly?

  • Manufacturing-admin still not working

    Hi everyone!
    I had no problem in getting SQL Trace up and running on my local Netweaver instance. However now I'm stuck getting SQL Trace running on our test machine. I followed the instructions given in the respective documents as well as the ones given in thread [http://localhost:50000/manufacturing-admin/ not working |http://localhost:50000/manufacturing-admin/ not working   ]  - yet it won't work. In ICM Monitor the status of HTTPS protocol is inactive.

    Hi Juliane,
    There are a lot of SAP Cryptographic libraries available from Service Marketplace, but it's tricky to find them:
    1. Login to the Service Marketplace
    2. Navigate to Software Downloads - > Installations and Upgrades
    3. In the download catalog find the link SAP Cryptographic Software
    4. Click the same link once again and in the popup window agree to the terms
    5. Browse the list of all available cryptographic libraries and download the one suitable for you software/hardware config
    There are just three different libraries for Microsoft Windows:
    1. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Win32 for x86/IA32 3342 08/06/2010   
    2. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Win64 for IA64 (Itanium) 3342 08/06/2010 
    3. SAP Cryptographic Library Microsoft Windows 2003 for x86_64 3342 08/06/2010 
    You probably need the first one
    Let us know if it helps
    Good luck

  • Spotlight Not Working on Xserve with Large Storage

    We're using Xserve (Mac OS X Server 10.6.7) with ~6TB storage as our AFP fileserver. The spotlight searching is not working well, neither at the server console nor client side.
    I have tried rebuid the spotlight index with the following commands,
    sudo mdutil -i on /
    rm -rf /.Spotlight*
    sudo mdutil -E /
    The spotlight engine seems working. But we can't find things accuractly. It seems that we can find things in the past but not the ones recently added to the server. We have clients from 10.4.11 to 10.6.7, and there is no luck for all.
    Does spotlight has storage size limit?
    Thank you!

    Same fundemental issue here. Config a little diff: Serve 10.5.8 with 5 shares from a mirrored RAID. mix of 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 desks. Of all the shares the find problem exists on ONLY ONE SHARE.
    One 10.4.11 system can execute find successfully, while all 10.5.8 and one 10.4.11 do not. Some days all systems return results successfully.
    Weird observation 1: CONSOLE sometimes does not display contents of unsearchable volume even though user (admin) has RWE to that share.
    Shell into 10.5.8 toggle mdutil against the problematic mounted volume does not resolve the problem. Add/removing volume via Spotlight security does not resolve the problem. Tried rm .Spotlight-V100 from workstation command line does not resolve the problem. Tried rm .Spotlight-V100 from console command line does not resolve the problem.
    Weird observation 2: All users same group with RWE set and custom ACL. Privs have been propagated recursively. Correct user and group have ownership to .Spotlight so it's not an issue of write failure while indexing.
    An identifiable pattern of failure remains elusive.

  • Unable to install "Mavericks" as it asks for my 'Admin Password" and it does not work. Have not used it since I got my iMac in 2008. First upgrade to do so. Any solutions please?

    I have a 2008 iMac which had Leopard initially and I have upgraded to each new OS without a hitch. I downloaded "Mavericks" and began the install, it asked me for my "Admin Password" which I have never ever used since I set the Mac up, I have it safely tucked away so entered it, it rejected it each time. Am sort of lost now, as if my "Admin P/W" does not work here can I go from here?
    I have seen many others with this problem but so far most of the solutions seem to be for the "log in" or "User" password not the Admin one.
    I am running Mountain Lion successfully.
    I have my original disks as supplied and also a Snow Leopard install disk.
    I have seen some info about fixing this via Lion Recovery partition which I must have due to using Mt Lion.
    How can I repair this situation.
    Thank you to all those who respond.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I have visited both the sites you listed but it seems to me that the solutions mentioned are to fix the User or log in p/w's.They do not seem to refer to the admin one again.
    I understand about it being just like other user accts but the fixes do not really refer to it only the above two.
    I have no problem booting up my Mac, I do not use a log in p/w so my problem is with the Admin p/w that was set up back in 2008. This is what I need to reset etc.
    I am quite confused over these pw's as to just what is what and I need to make sure I understand all before I get into deeper trouble following these links.
    This Admin p/w that was set up has never been used and is the only p/w I have except for my Apple ID. All previous upgrades only required my user name log in which has no p/w set up.
    I hope you can follow me here butI have read so much on this it is becoming very confusing about whcih p/w's are what.
