Xserve g5 with dell powervault 220s via scsi

i have a fully working xserve g5. i recently added an adaptec scsi host adapter 39160.
the box booted no problems and recognized a scsi controller.
i want to attach a dell powervault 220s to this scsi controller and use it for external storage. I have the PV booted and connected using 1 scsi cable. to the xserve.
when i try to boot up the xserve it grey screens saying to hold the power button.
it does this every time. what do i need to do to get this system working?

dang, what about an adaptec AIC-7899? should that
work?
Nope. Here's their announcement that Mac users can take a hike:

ATTO is pretty much the only choice with 10.4.x. A bit pricy, but it works fine in our Xserve G5.

Mac Mini I-7 2.0 (server edition) won't work with Dell 2709W monitor via HDMI

I just got a Mac Mini I7 quad 2.0. It's the server edition with an HDMI port. I plug my Dell 2709W monitor in and it continously flickers on and off and shows a green screen and the desktop for short intervals. Can anyone help with this issue.

Does the monitor work OK when connected to another HDMI output device?

You have selected the HDMI input on the monitor, right?

OSB with Dell PowerVault 100T DAT7 2

Will Secure Backup work with the Dell 100T DAT72 tape drive?

This is an area that I have very little experience. I'm not sure what a library is to be honest. Is this something that installs with the drive, or is it a piece that needs to be purchased or obtained separately? All I can tell you is that I followed the OSB instructions exactly:
10gR2 10.2.0.2.0 Windows 2k3 R2 on Dell PowerEdge rack
Created Library with attachment raw device //./obl0
But the show properties revealed the message "no hardware info is available for library tc-lib - The system cannot find the file specified"

Dell PowerVault MD1000 with Mac OS X Server 10.5 (mac pro with fiber connec

Hey Guys. Its time that i add a bulk amount of storage to our mac network.
Currently Our network consists of one mac server which is a Mac Pro with Mac OSX Server 10.5 installed on it with 4 x 750GB Hard Drives with a couple of client machines. I now need to add atleast another 6TB to the network. This needs to be seen as the server as one drive so that 6TB needs to be raid prosume (raid 5)
Now in the Mac Pro server we have a Fibre Card that we dont currently use with 2 slots. My Plan is to buy a Dell PowerVault™ MD1000 (http://configure.euro.dell.com/dells...ulmd1000sata) and put in the amount of hard drives i require into the Dell Storage.
Would this work. If i bought the Dell PowerVault™ MD1000, would i beable to hook this upto the mac server and use it as a storage drive? Although i do no networking. Im still very new to this.
Ideally im looking for something similar to an Xserve Raid, but with out the Apple price tag on the outside if you guys no what i mean.
Best,
Nathaniel

You would at least need a SAS/SATA controller - preferably a hardware RAID one, much like the one bundled with this unit - but it also needs to be OS X compatible.
I would look for something that is known to work, not something you "cobble" together.
The FibreChannel card does you no good if you haven't got a device with FC ports.

DELL PowerVault via SAS - is it possible?

Hi all, I'm currently trying to sort out a way to wed a new MacPro (with Final Cut Server 1.5) to an existing DELL PowerVault MD RAID rack via SAS (this will also remain tied up to a Windows server for serving stuff to the offices we're in). I've got three FCP suites, each with a local RAID - total data on all of these equates to around 150,000+ files occupying about 5TB.
I've already given up on the notion the new setup would be fast enough for edit-in-place, we soon found the budget wouldn't take us that far yet, but the only solution our IT guys have turned up so far is connecting the RAID via regular Gigabit Ethernet as DELL do not create SAS drivers for OS-X... this would slow the workflow down so much I'd just have to abandon the idea of a server environment altogether... it would take weeks just to transfer all the projects over to it!!
The budget has all but gone, I practically blew it on the server in the belief the DELL rack would hitch up okay without much further investment... but this is all looking like turning into an expensive mistake
Anyone one else in a mixed PC/Mac environment with a possible solution???
Cheers!
Tom

Hi Thomas,
I too have the same issue.
But in my case I have a Dell PowerVault NF600 (NAS). I was using it as an edit-in-place over a quad GigE card (on the NF600) before FCSrv. And now I'm using it as an EIP with FCSrv.
Since network mount is not as reliable as a SAN, and Qmaster insists in copying files even if all computer has access if it's not a SAN I'm starting to think the same way (Attach the NF600 as fast as possible to the FCSrv).
One big problem is the old Mac-PC problem. I do not think that a SAS card can be inserted on a Mac Pro and connect to the NF600 (or MD) and work ok. I didn't find anything like this on my search (but this doesn't assure it's not possible).
So the only option would be over Ethernet. There's iSCSI and SAN over LAN.
I've tried the Microsoft iSCSI Target but there wasn't too many free (or for trials) initiators. One that you may try is the GlobalSAN ( http://www.studionetworksolutions.com/products/product_detail.php?pi=11 ).
One solution that I'm trying right now and it seems to work (since is recommended by Bob Zelin at http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/build-your-own-affordable-san-that-iwork si ) is the metaLan Client and Server ( http://www.tiger-technology.com/ ).
This makes your normal LAN connection as a SAN without the need for fiber.
Of course, good switches and good multiple port NICs (for the server) and Link-Aggregation is recommended.
Look at http://www.small-tree.com for NICs and switches.
Hope this helps!
If you find anything further or have any doubts, please let me know.

Sound stops random on Dell Vostro 220 with Windows 7 Professional

Can anyone help? This Dell Vostro 220 w Windows 7 Professional "HD" sound goes off randomly. And I have to reboot to recover the sound.

Your question has nothing to do with Apple products so I'm not sure why you posted it on an Apple forum. Try a Windows forum or contact Dell support.

New Mac Mini with Lion Video Problem With Dell E228WFP monitor

Just purchased a new mini Mac 2.3 with Lion pre installed. I connected to my old Dell E228WFPI monitor via the Mini Display to VGA adapter. The mini mac worked fine for an hour until I put it to sleep. It would not rewake. After rebute the gray screen and apple logo appear with clock, but after clock screen to black and monitor goes to power saver mode. Took unit to apple store twice and could not resolve problem by changing resolution or other methiods. Finally, we learned that the system works fine using Belkin HDMI to DVI cable. This Dell Monitor had DVI connector. Hope this helps...

How can a computer that's been turned off (and I mean completely OFF) get a network request? Only a sleeping computer should react to such a request. If you're sure you shut down (Apple Menu, Shut Down), then only an internal power supply or logic board problem should cause this. The only way it could be software is if Lion is not shutting down the computer but is instead putting it to sleep. Is it a new Mac Mini? If so, you should have it replaced or repaired.

Problem with connetction to wrt54g2 via wireless connection with WPA/WPA2 & wireless MAC filter

Hello,
I'm Alexey from Novosibirsk, Russia.
I have a problem with connection to wrt54g2 from my DELL D630 notebook via wireless connection. When I setup WPA/WPA2 in wireless security and wireless MAC filter I can't connect from notebook to WRT - in Windows I see that dynamic IP address from WRT is not assigned. When I switch off security mode to disable always OK, but I need a wireless security between DELL and WRT.
Connection via cable Ethernet port is OK.
Can You help me?

Have you tried the different laptop...?

Could i install driver or modify file for osb recognize this library??
Thanks in advance

Looking at the Dell website I would say that this unit is not a tape autoloader or library, it is just an enclosure that holds up to two drives. From our sg output I would say you have a single drive and that is what is being seen by the OS (and therefore OSB). I don't think there is any other mechanics to automatically load/unload tapes from the drive, so it is effectively a standalone drive.
Thanks

OS 10 Server DHCP with Dell Switches

We have a strange DHCP assignment lag that shows-up by machines taking a long time to get an IP address, sometimes as long as 20 seconds. As you can imagine, this causes all sorts of problems.
When we bypass our Dell Switch (PowerConnect 6248) the problem disappears.
We are running 10.5.8 on the latest Intel Xserve.

Thanks to both of you, faulty switch has not even crossed my mind, but I will be call dell tech support today.
I did check the Dell forums, most everyone has difficulty passing DHCP between their VLANs. We have the most basic set-up with a single LAG configured.
I'll see what Dell support has to say. I was hoping others were using OSX servers with Dell switches and maybe seeing this too.
I fear calling Dell and telling them that we are using Apple equipment, I tire of support people either not knowing about Apple technology or stating that it's simply not supported. I am sure we all deal with the anti-Apple bias and you know what I mean.

Set up cisco SGE2010 combined with Dell 6248 switch

Hi, I have currently a Dell powerconnect 6248 switch combined with a netgear UTM router. I have a basic understanding on how things should work but I don't have the knowledge to apply it as I'm new to setting up vlan and the person before me did the basic configuration like this:
defined 5 VLAN in the netgear router
defined the same 5 VLAN in the dell 6248
connected the dell switch to the netgear router via a trunk port.
Right now all the inter vlan traffic pass thru the netgear router as the dell switch as a trunk port connected to the netgear box who then give dhcp and set himself as the default inter vlan route. I would like to stop that since I would like the cisco switch to handle all the vlan routing for both switch and those switch to send their dhcp request to my win2k8 server.
I did set the sge2010 in layer 3 mode from the small business telnet interface. I then setup the same 5 vlan in the cisco switch.
If I understand this well I need to define an IP address for each vlan interface on the cisco switch for it to be able to route things, I have set them all as x.x.x.3 (x.x1.3 vlan 1, x.x.2.3 vlan2, etc) Then I need both swtich to forward all dhcp request to my dhcp box wich is in vlan 2. My DHCP server will have 5 range of IP address to hand out. my server are connected directly to the dell switch on vlan 2. I have set up a port in the dell switch in trunk mode and did the same thing in the cisco switch and connected them togheter to send all vlan packet. The current setup doesn't work so I need some help to finalize that setup so that everything works.
If you need detail that I might have forgot to mention I wll gladly provide them.
Thanks !

For future reference, I finally succeeded in setting up everything the way I wanted it to be. I enabled layer 3 routing on the sge2010 switch, defined IP for each vlan interface, defined DHCP scope with vlan interface ip as the gateway. Added the ip-helper ip of the dhcp server on the sge2010, I defined 1 of the port on the cisco to trunk mode and added all vlan to it. I then defined all the same vlan on the Dell swith, added the ip helper address of the dhcp server for each vlan on the dell switch, defined a port on the dell swith in trunk mode and added all the vlan to it, connected both swith with an ethernet cable via the trunk port on each side and voilà all is working good. I finally had to define a static route in the cisco switch of 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 with the ip of my internet firewall to gain internet access on both switch.

Bluetooth connection problems with Dell Axim x51v

I have a Dell Axim x51v and it has Windows Mobile v5.0 on it. I am trying to connect the Axim to my MacBook via Bluetooth, but am experiencing the problem where the devices get paired, but are not connected. Infact, when I add the device, they get connected for about 10 seconds, then they disconnect and remain this way. I do have my MacBook firewall turned off and I enabled Bluetooth sharing. Can anyone help with this?

Does anyone know how to sync a Dell Axim that's running Windows Mobile v5.0 to a MacBook that's running Leopeard? I tried doing this with Bluetooth and USB via an application called "The Missing Sync" from MarkSpace and neither of them seem to work. Please help with this if anyone knows how to do it.

Nexus 1K VEM module shutdown (with DELL BLADE server)

Hello, This is Vince.
I am doing one of PoC with important customer.
Can anyone help me to explain what the problem is?
I have been found couples of strange situation in a Nexus 1000V with DELL BLADE server)
Actually, Network diagram is like below.
I installed each two Vsphere Esxi on the Dell Blade server.
As Diagram shows each server is connected to Cisco N5K via M8024 Dell Blade Switch.
- two N1KV VM are installed on the Esxi. (of course as Primary and Secondary)
- N5K is connected to M8024 in vPC.
- VSM and VEM are checking each other via Layer3 control interface.
- the way of uplink's port-profile port channel LB is mac pinning.

Let me explain what the strange things happened from now on.
If I move the Primary N1KV on the module 3 to the another Esxi of the module 4, VEM will be shutdown suddenly.
Here is sys logs.
2013 Dec 20 15:45:22 n1000v %VEM_MGR-2-VEM_MGR_REMOVE_NO_HB: Removing VEM 4 (heartbeats lost)

2013 Dec 20 15:46:53 n1000v %VEM_MGR-2-MOD_OFFLINE: Module 4 is offline
If I wanna make it works again then I have to do two things.
First of all, It should be selected on the Source MAC Check the way of vSwitch's Load balance.
(Port ID check is the default)
Second of all, the the order of Switch's fail over is very important.
If I change this order then VEM will be off in very soon.
Here you go, the screen capture file of These option. (you may not understand these Korean letters.)
In my opinion, the main problem is the link part between Esxi and M8024.
As you saw, Each Esxi is connected to two M8024 Dell Blade switches separately.
I saw the manual for the way N1K's uplink Load balance.
Even though there are 16 different port-channel LB way,
but It should be used only the way of src-mac If there is no supporting port-channel option in the upstreaming switches.
But I don't know exactly why this situation happened.
Can anyone help me how I make it works better.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Vince

There's not enough information to determine the reason by those two outputs alone. All those commands tell us is the VSM is removing/attaching the VEM.
The normal cause for the VEM to flap is a problem with the Control VLAN communication. The loss of 6 consecutive heart beats will cause the VEM to detach from the VSM. We need to isolate the reason why.
-Which version of 1000v & ESX?
-Are multiple VEMs affected or just one?
-Are the VSM's interfaces hosted on the DVS or vSwitch?
-What is the network topology between the VEM and VSM (primarily the control VLAN)
-Do you have the Cisco SR # I can take a look into it. TAC is your best course of action for an issue like this. There will likely need to be live troubleshooting into your network environment to determine the cause.
