Xserve RAID hanging because of Bonjour?

Here we have a Xsan setup with one Xserve RAID and 3 Xserves.  We have a Qlogic Sandbox 5200 fiber channel switch. We also have a dedicated ethernet switch for the metadata network and a other switch for "regular" IP communication between Xserve and our firewall.
One NIC of the Xserve RAID is connected to the Metadata ethernet swicth and the other is connected in our LAN for managing purpose.
We use Xsan 1.4.1 and all Macs are running 10.4.10 Server. That setup works great for years.
Yesterday, the Xsan volume became unavailable 2 times. According to Raid Admin, the Xserve Raid is running and report no fault. Both times, my MacBook Pro (which is connected in the LAN) also get a public IP address on is second NIC (for some test not related to the Apple stuff).
Since both crash occurs just after "creating" two ethernet path between my MacBook Pro and the Xserve RAID... I feel that Bonjour have something to do with the problem. We also know that Bonjour have problem when a Mac is registering two times the same service on a network...

Trying to reproduce that is not possible for now because it can crash our mail servers... Does anybody already notice problem when both NICs of a Xserve RAID are connected to two NIC on a Mac?
Thanks

For the xsan the ethernet to the xraids is not nessesary.
All communication goes through FC.
You do want at least one connection to get mails about failing disks and so on.

  • Cannot map or even see drives on xserve RAID hanging off a xserve

    Sorry if I sound like a complete idiot, but when it comes to Macs I am one. We have a OS X Server 10.5.8 and a xserve RAID. The RAID looks ok and under the server I can see both of the RAID drives that have been created and access them. When we try to map to it on one of our house Macs, its errors out with "There was a problem connecting to the server." When we try to map to just the root of the server, we can see its hard drive, but not the RAID drives. Any help would be most appreciated!

    By default, Mac OS X Server only shares the root drive.
    In order to share external volumes (such as the XServe RAID volumes) you need to use Server Admin to mark the volumes as shared (as well as which protocols to use).

  • Newbie lesson - xServe RAID boxes need 2 Controller modules to work well!

    So I thought I'd share my experience with my xServe RAID box, because I built it from parts (via eBay) I thought I could run it with a single controller with up to 7 drives until I needed to expand it later, I had all sorts of strange problems:
    - Could't build new RAID arrays
    - Couldn't update firmware
    - Restarting box often led to the array disappearing
    - Existing array sometimes didn't show up in Disk Util.
    I tried replacing cables and Fibre cards but no change until I added a second RAID controller and then suddenly everything worked great!
    Thanks to everyone here for trying to help me out with my problems, the box now runs great
    So the lesson here is that an xServe RAID box needs 2 controllers to function properly, with only 1 it runs in some kind of undocumented failsafe mode.

    See my response to your crosspost in the Xserve RAID group.

  • Current xserve raid speed rate not fast enough

    guys,
    my xserve raid having problem when i edit HD project 1920*1080, its ok when i edit, but when i view all 30 mins movie, its hang when play till 5 mins of the movie, and keep on hanging after that, why is that? is it because the setting of my xserve raid got problem? read n write speed not fast enough?
    help plzzzz

    Both the write cache ticks should be on, The allow host cache flushing should be off. The use steady streaming mode tick should be off also. (So the pattern of th ticks is: on, off, on, off)
    The stripes stting depends on the cache size of the disk. On disks with lower than 16 MB, the 8 stripes setting is right. On disks from 16MB cache you can use the 128 stripes setting (In general the 750 GB disks have 16 MB, the others have lower).

  • Connect 2 Xserve RAIDs to one Xserve

    Hello folks,
    I have two XServe RAIDs which I bought on eBay and one Xserve G4 with FC RAID controller (2 SFP connectors). I also own a FC switch. Is it possible to connect both XServe RAIDs to the one server and have an access to all arrays there?
    Thanks
    Robert

    1) What does the Fibre say under System Profiler? Do you see SCSI devices hanging off your fibre? Because you should.
    2) There is also a Fibre Utility or Fibre in your System preferences depending on your OS version. Check that to see what it says.
    3) If everything seems right and nothing is working that's often a sign of LUN masking. You will need a copy of RAID Admin 1.5 (not 1.5.1) to check for LUN masking if you start to suspect it as it was removed in v1.5.1.
    3a) There can also be zoning on your FC switch and other things partitioning up your network.
    4) Hook up RAID Admin to the machine over ethernet (if you haven't already) to get a look at the RAID internals.
    As a sanity check I would start by plugging the RAID sides directly into the computer and eliminating the switch as a factor. That should start to narrow down the variables quickly. If you're getting communication and negotiation but no visibility I would suspect LUN masking. If you get volume visibility through the cable but not the switch then look at the switch.
    Good luck,

  • Clarification on how to use Xserve Raid and Fibre Channel without xsan.

    First let me apologize for not responding earlier to your response, I tend to get busy and then forget to check back here.
    Tod, the answer to your question is No, only one computer is accessing the xserve raid files at any one time and that is via Fibre Channel. However I do have the xserve raids set up as share points via ethernet.
    Maybe I should turn that off and only access the files with the one computer that can connect via fibre channel.
    I never thought of that. I will try that while I await for your answer, thanks again.

    I have the following setup:
    Xserve: 2x2Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon, 5Gb of Ram, Running 10.5.8 Leopard Server
    Xserve Raid with firmware version 1.5.1/1.51c on both controllers, and
    Qlogic Sanbox 5600
    Apple Fibre Channel Cards in Xserve, and Mac Pro Tower; Apple 2 Port 4Gbs Fibre Channel Card
    Mac Pro Tower-Quad Core Intel Xeon 2.8Ghz, 16Gb of Ram, Running Snow Leopard 10.6.4
    Here is the problem.
    The directory for the xserve raids keep getting corrup, and I use disc warrior to rebuild them. Is there a way to keep the directories from getting corrupt? I am a few pieces of equipment before I can build an Xsan as that is the ultimate goal, but until then, I just need to be able to have the raids funciton as storage without having to rebuild the directories all of the time.
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Re: Xserve Raid Mounts, Corrupt Directory tired of rebuilding directory
    Posted: Jun 27, 2010 1:25 PM in response to: Todd Buhmiller
    Are multiple computers accessing the same data on the RAID at the same time?
    If so then NO. This is the source of your data corruption and I'm surprised if you were able to get all your data back every time if this is how you've been running your system. Each fibre channel assumes it has full and sole control of every volume it has mounted, no data arbitration is practiced and data corruption will occur if this assumption is wrong.
    The only way this set-up will work is to use partitions or LUN masks so the volumes are accessed by one computer at any time. As long as one computer relinquishes control before another mounts it you will dodge arbitration issues but this is a dangerous game. If you screw up and mount an already mounted volume - and there is no easy way to tell if a volume is mounted - corruption will then occur. Sharing data simultaneous at fibre speeds is what XSAN does and to do this you need it.

    +The xserve raids will mount automatically to any computer that I connect the qlogic fc switch to+
    This is source of the corruption to your data. Any computer that attaches to a drive/partition via fibre channel assumes that it alone is in control of the drive and data corruption is inevitable.
    +Is that the issue, should I disconnect the xserve from the fc switch and leave it connected via ethernet?+
    Short answer: YES. The ethernet connections are fine because the server is controlling the file arbitration through the sharing protocol. Fibre channel connections assumes complete control over the partition and no arbitration of the file access is performed. It's like two people independently driving trying to drive the same car to different locations.
    Depending on your set-up it is possible for the two machines to see and use different parts of the Xserve RAID storage but they cannot access the same areas without SAN doing the arbitration.
    Hope that's clear,

  • Can't copy files to Xserve Raid

    Hello,
    I'm having serious issues copying files to my work's Xserve Raid. When I try to copy files to it, it stalls for several minutes trying to copy, but making no progress, before giving an error saying:
    "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "filename" could not be read or written. (error code -36)"
    When I click ok, I get disconnected from the Raid.
    Any thoughts as to what could be happening?

    What do your logs say? I'd check your afp (or whatever sharing mechanism you're using) and I'd keep an eye out for any fibre channel or LUN messages that might indicate connection/communication problems with RAID itself. (These might show up as LIP messages.)
    Sounds to me like an underlying communications issue rather than a file sharing issue but without more information it's hard to say.
    Good luck,

  • Expanding xServe RAID Array - updated info sought.

    I don't want to have to reformat the RAID and I don't want to lose data because...
    1) The organization will suffer extended downtime.
    2) I don't have ready access to 3TB of empty storage to back up the entire contents of the RAID.
    These and Apple's documentation are a few of the many different sources of info on this topic I've sought.
    With apologies in advance to William Lloyd, who has answered many of these questions.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/3330193

    My (familiar) situation.
    I inherited administration responsibilities for an xServe RAID using the latest firmware (1.5.1).
    The xServe is an intel xeon dual 2 GHz, running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8
    The RAID had six (sigh) drives in the left controller. None in the right.
    When I became admin, one of these six was dead. So I went on eBay and got three refurb ADM's.
    --one to replace the dead drive.
    --another to expand the RAID 5 to a full seven drives. (from 2.5T to 2.73T)
    --a third to put on the shelf as a spare.
    Now then.
    The replacement drive rebuilt beautifully. Happy 6 drive RAID.
    I put in the 7th drive and expanded. It took several days.
    I'm at the point of "merging" slices that gives everyone pause about losing data.
    Much discussion here about whether this can result in added capacity without destroying data relates to earlier versions of Mac OS X Server and G5 not Intel xServes. So that's a point that I think I could use some clarity on. Can Intel Macs can expand the file system with this slice-merging function without data loss whereas Power PC Macs cannot?
    Next, my RAID as I inherited it was one slice. That is to say, one volume. One partition. In RAID Admin under "Arrays and Drives" all the little drives display a [1]. They did when the RAID was degraded to 5 drives. They did when I added the 6th drive replacement. They do now, having used the Expansion function under "Advanced" to add the 7th drive.
    So, next question. WAS IT EVER SLICED?
    That seems to be a deal-breaker for merging slices without data loss.
    For this, I looked in RAID Admin to my Events tab which dates all the way back to 2008.
    I see exactly zero mentions of slicing anywhere. Come with me on a journey, won't you?
    You'll see my expansion and verification up top.
    The drive failure in October 2013.
    Other exciting things. But no slicing.

  • AFP and Xserve RAID very SLOOOOW

    Recently we have been having problems with AFP pegging the Xserve RAID activity lights. Xserve RAID Disk access is very slow.
    Machine Specs:
    Dual 2.3 GHZ G5 Xserve
    1GB RAM (recently downgraded because of memory problems after a power outage)
    1x80GB Xserve drive module
    3TB Xserve RAID 5
    Xserve RAID has been upgraded to 1.5 FW and has both ethernet connections connected.
    The whole story is we had a power outage last week. The servers all came back up fine. Throughout the day we noticed that the file server was acting strange. We checked server monitor and it said that RAM slot 3&4 had problems. We opened up System Profiler and it reported that modules 2&3 were only 256MB! (These are 512MB modules). We brought the machine down and pulled the modules. The machine is now at 1GB of memory with more coming. The next day the machine was incredibly slow and the RAIDs access lights were pegged. Also something was pulling all free memory into inactive memory. After trial and error I've found that if I turn off AFP the RAID is no longer pegged and the memory goes back to normal. I thought AFP was the problem and did a complete rebuild of the server last night. This morning the same thing is happening. Also the logs show nothing is wrong.
    All of our Macintosh users are Mobile accounts over AFP. We have around 60 Macintosh users. All of our PC users connect using SMB. We have around 20 PC users. All of our network users work off of the file shares.
    Thanks for any and all help,
    -dustin

    Check so that the Xserve RAID diskcache settings are not reset/off.
    I have had to take apart the RAID controllers and putting them back togheter again to alleviate slowness/"malfunction" making a couple of RAIDs operating like normal again.
    I use Helios Lantest http://www.helios.de/ and XRG to measure/stress disks locally and over the network to see if they are working correctly.

  • How can I fix slow AFP writes to our Xserve RAID?

    Hi,
    This problem has been posted before but I couldn't find a solution. We have a Intel Xserve connected via fibre channel to a 14 disk 10.5 TB Xserve RAID. It's setup as two RAID5 volumes soft raided into one volumes (RAID 50).
    There are multiple AFP shares on the RAID being served by the Xserve. The problem is that writes over AFP randomly go really slowly. Sampling using fs_usage shows a load of RdMeta operations from the AppleFilerServer process. I think it's the same issue that was posted here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8153758#8153758
    We've tried everything mentioned in that post - with no success. Has anyone managed to solve this problem? Many thanks,
    Jamie

    It might be an HFS+ filesystem but because I'm seeing this on a simple striped RAID in a PowerMac. I was writing a script to look for system files starting with 32 zero bytes:
    find /System/Library/ -type f -exec echo -n "{}:" \; -exec xxd -l 32 -c 64 -p {} \; | grep ':0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000' | cut -f 1 -d':'
    Sometimes it appeared to halt for a long time and fs_usage showed RdMeta or WrMeta blasting along at ~100MB/s. After a few more runs it no longer has this problem. I wonder if there's a tuning bug in HFS hot file management or defragmentation.

  • Connecting xserve to xserve raid - done everything

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble connecting my secondhand xserve to xserve raid.
    - xserve is running 10.8.5
    - i'm screen sharing the xserve
    - I have reset both the RAID controllers with paperclip
    - both fiber channels are connected
    - both controller cards are connected to the xserve via ethernet
    - half the hdds in both sides of raid show red light
    - it has been on for 24 hours now
    Add system in RAID Admin doesn't propose anything, so I have manually entered the ip addresses from server.app>network pane.
    If anybody has any ideas I would be thankful.
    Paul

    There are several possibilities.
    First off, from your screen shot, both your RAID and your host are using the same IP addresses (169.254.192.90 and 169.254.87.107). That's not going to work. However, it's probably not your major problem... let's move down the stack.
    Your interface on the host isn't connected/configured corrected - as noted by the Orange ball alongside the IP address. You need to fix that.
    Second, the 169.254 addresses are somewhat variable, so just because the RAID had that address at one point in time that doesn't mean it still has that address - it could have changed. This may or may not be the case, depending on the link status of the host system.
    If you choose to Add System within RAID Admin, it will search over the network to find nearby, available RAID systems to add. This is usually better than relying on dynamic IP addresses that might have changed since you last configured the array.
    In either caase, focus on the link to your host. Check if you can at least ping the RAID. Use a tool such as tcpdump to see if you can determine the IP address of the RAID (hint: you should see it broadcasting on the network link).

  • XServe RAID Sharing

    Well, after many hours of heartache I skipped the pre-config options and am doing it the old fashioned way -- much easier.
    Question: how come my clients can't see volumes mounted to the server? I have an xServe RAID fibre-channel attached to my xServe, but none of the client can reach the volume. Oddly, they can ping its IP though.
    Any thoughts much appreciated

    Unless I have missed something - leaving room for a mistake here - I would recommend people NOT upgrade from 10.3.9 server to Tiger server based on our ACL permission problems. If I had read this somewhere, I would have not upgraded. I was also told this "bug" we so enjoy would not be fixed until Leopard is released - circa Oct 2007.
    I spent the night Thursday redoing the Tiger server install - from the ground up. Hand coded all users and only used the builtin staff group.
    Using all the available tips I proceeded to:
    1) turn on ACL for volumes.
    2) reboot
    3) set POSIX owner to "diradmin" (open directory owner) for all points that will be shared read write
    4) set POSIX group ownership to "staff" read write
    5) set POSIX everyone to read write
    6) dragged staff group into ACL and set to full control
    7) propagated each point
    8) rebooted
    9) enabled sharepoints
    10) rebooted
    a few hours later I am receiving calls from staff members that are creating documents that can't make changes to their new documents. Of course I am at home asleep because I was up for 24 hours before I went home. Had I been awake, I would be assured I was living a nightmare which really began a few weeks ago, the day we decided to finally use our Tiger server installer.
    The most valuable tip I ran across is very poorly highlighted, the fact that you CANNOT propagate root owned files and folders. We all know that root/system owned files and folders are the ideal server side rights. What in the freaking world would posess anyone to change that??????? and not provide adaquate warning. So I will reiterate here because many people are missing this crucial point.
    YOU CANNOT PROPAGATE ROOT/SYSTEM OWNED FILES AND FOLDERS PERMISSIONS
    Even if you could, you are not guarenteed that ACLs will work. They simply don't work at all here - bug!
    No, I'm not erasing 11 terabytes of storage to see if that helps. It didn't work on the internal 200 gb drives.
    sincerely, Bugie

  • Xserve raid or other raid

    Hello everyone. I'm looking to buy some type of raid system but I dot know if it shoul be an Xserve raid or another one from a place like other world computing. I need my raid to be able to do heavy video editing with video quality at blueray, and it has to act as a scratch disk. The thing I like about the Xserve raid is that it is expandable and runs through fiber. I need to be able totransfer large files fast. If I were to invest in a different raid I might be stuck with FireWire 800, or esata but I don't know if esata works on my Xserve. I know the xraid is discontinued and uses para drives, but is it still worth it.

    I found one off the website gainsaver.com for about 400. Thats not including the drives. At first i wont need much space. I would start slow maybe with 2 500gb or 2 250gb something like that. Slowly ill grow, so i dont have to worry about spending a bunch on the top drives. I will be using it for time machine backup of my server, and as a scratch disk for my editing. When i do edit, i need to be able to at least transfer 50mb a second to it because i edit in blue ray quality video. I also have a fibre channel card in my xserve already so i would only have to buy the two wires. One of the things that also pushed me to consider it is that in my school, we have a video editing suite. In that suite there are a bunch of xserves and 2 xraids. They are used as scratch disks for 25 computers that all edit video at the same time. In the school we work with SD so its easier on the transfer but its still intense. Thats why i was pushed to consider the xraid, and especially coming from apple, who makes products that last years more than they should. It doesnt seem like a bad idea. What do you think

  • Reseting my Xserve Raid

    Hi
    I have an Xserve G5 that provides user accounts with network home directories that are stored on an Xserve raid. When I opened raid admin today it was no longer able to see the Raid's IP address via Bonjour. l have seen a number of threads in which people have had a similar problem that was resolved using the reset button (and a carefully placed paper clip). My question is whether I can safely do this with my setup or will it mean having to re-setup all my home directory sharepoints etc.
    Cheers in advance

    Hi Lee,
    Resetting the RAID controllers won't harm anything. The volume may go offline for a bit, but you won't need to re set up your home directories, etc.
    That said, I don't think it should be necessary. Not sure why it's not discovering, but if you have a machine that is connected directly to the RAID, you could open up a terminal and type "ping 255.255.255.255" and you should see a response from the 169.254/16 IP address of the RAID.
    Personally, I'd recommend giving the RAID a static IP address after you connect to it the first time. Makes things easier.

  • Xserve raid midplane(?) troubleshooting help

    Hi,
    I just inherited an XServe RAID with 12 180GB drives. My question is thus:
    If I put the single RAID controller in the top slot, It recognizes all drives on the left side of the RAID, which is expected
    If I put the single RAID controller in the bottom slot, it does not recognize any drives in any slots even if I swap those drives from the left side to the right (to rule out 5 bad drives.
    I have two empty sleds that are on the right side of the RAID as well.
    I am guessing, having never owned one before, that this is likely a problem with the midplane. Is there a way to troubleshoot the midplane? I very quick inspection, didn't reveal anything that was obvious. I plan on doing a more thorough inspection over the weekend.
    I am also making the assumption that I do not have to have a controller in the top slot for the bottom controller to work since the top controller works without having a controller in the bottom slot.
    Any help/insight would be appreciated

    LIttle Update in case it would help someone with more knowledge of this than I:
    When the Controller is in the lower position:
    or
    which I find interesting since I don't have an upper controller installed and the cooling modules both show as missing even though they exist (though 1 is failed).
    If I look at the other tabs:
    Info: Shows only Name: XServe RAID and Power State: On
    Arrays & Drives: Shows Not Installed for all drives on that side of the XServe RAID
    Fibre Channel is blank as I don't currently have it connected to my XServe
    Events shows nothing of significance to me other than all disks online
    When the controller is in the upper position however:
    I am curious as to why the RAID controller shows as present in both slots when it clearly is not however.
    Hoping it was just a cable from the midplane to the unit, I swapped cables this morning hoping for a failure, but did not get such failure, so I have ruled out the cable. The Controller seems to work when it is in the top slot, so I think that the controller is likely good as well. So I guess I can sum it up as:
    Power supplies: Good x2, shows a green light in either slot, swapped in testing
    Batteries: Good x2; Swapped in testing, Swapped in testing, works in upper slot, does not in lower slot
    Cooling Unit: Good x2; Swapped in testing, works in upper slot, does not in lower slot
    Controller: Good x1; works in upper slot, does not work in lower slot
    Which leads me back to the midplane as there isn't much else inside this unit that I can see that could go wrong. Does this sound like an accurate assessment? I ask because I want to be confident I have found the issue prior to ordering a new backplane.
    Once again, thanks in advance for any information.
