XserveRaid (14drive model): Left Side now won't mount?

I have a 14-drive Xserve RAID. It's been working flawlessly for at least two years. Today, I moved the rack across the room, to slightly redesign the office, and when I restarted it back up, the Left Side now will not mount.
It's full of drives, seven on each side. Raid 5. Connected to G5 PowerPC, with 10.5.6 installed.
The left side power light comes on, but after the right side boots and mounts as normal, the left side continues to show a constantly blinking light on the front, with the icon that appears to look like a "guitar head", or Fiber Channel icon. The other three indicator lights on the left side are also GREEN.
I disconnected the fiber channel cables from the back of the Xserve, and the left side fiber channel icon continues to blink.
The right side mounted just fine on the Desktop, as normal.
When I look at Fiber Channel control panel in 10.5.6 System Preferences, the Left Side shows red light and the Right Side shows green light. Red Light means disconnected.
Are there any other diagnostics that I can do today? Of course, I need to be working on files that are from the left side...
Here is a screengrab from the System Prefs:

Hi Mark
It's a good job you have a backup. It's even possible the controller might be failing? Perhaps the move is purely co-incidental? You could also swop the controllers to see if the problem follows the controller? Although I would leave off doing that just yet.
Reseating the controller is a useful thing to do as over time they can - sometimes - work themselves slightly loose. You've probably had the thing on 24/7 for 2 years so only a shutdown followed by a move could possibly make this apparent? If you search the forum you should find similar situations to yours.

  • USB Drive Accidentally Unmounted & Now Won't Mount

    Hi,
    My Seagate 400 GB USB external drive was accidentally unmounted improperly and now it won't mount. I restarted my laptop, restarted the drive itself, changed cords and USB inputs on the laptop and nothing has changed.
    The drive doesn't show up in Disk Utility, but it does in System profiler. In System Profiler it shows up, but with minimal information. My 300 GB Seagate drive (which is fine) shows up with a great deal more information like it's capacity etc. etc.
    I have really essential information on the 400 including a project that's due relatively soon, so any help would me greatly appreciated!! THANKS!
    -jules

    Two things you can try:
    Try connecting the drive, and restarting from the CD/DVD that came with your Powerbook, and use the Disk Utility to look for your connected drive.
    You may also look in finder>preferences>general and make sure that the boxes are checked to show hard drives on the desktop.

  • External HD Won't Mount - Force Ejected it and now won't mount

    Hi All,
    I seem to remember this happening to me before. Isn't there somewhere in the filesystem that OSX writes a file if a drive was mounted? And if you ejected a USB disk incorrectly, it cannot ever mount again?
    I can't seem to find that fix anywhere.
    ANYWAY, my problem is this. My TimeMachine backup disk (Western Digital (WD) 500 GB MyBook) won't mount (attached via USB). It doesn't show up in the Finder. It DOES show up in Disk Utility but when I click Repair Disk it promptly says:
    "Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
    I really don't think the disk is fried. I think there is just something keeping it from being mounted. I could be wrong.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Struggling with this waaay too late on a Sunday night.
    I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6 (10A421a)

  • HT1535 Please update this for the newest version of itunes.  There IS no device listing on the left side now, and when I try to drag to the "iPod" word in the upper right, it doesn't allow it.

    How to manually sync podcasts or music to an iPod using the newest version of iTunes?  Please advise.  Apple's i nstructions still say to drag to the iPod icon under "devices" on the left, but that's no longer there.  The iPod word appears in the upper right but won't let me drag to it.

  • WD 500g fell down, now won't mount!

    Hello everyone,
    I don't know if this is the right place to be asking this, but its a start.
    I have bought a WD 500g My Book pro, I have almost 350g of info on it. Yesterday, my wife tripped over the cord and it fell down on the floor.
    Now, when I plug it in I get this error message:
    "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer"
    Initialize.. Ignore .. or Eject
    Ignore and eject nothing happens, when I hit initialize, it takes me to the disk utility.
    I see the hard drive on the left panel named: "2.0 TB WD External Media"
    Strangely, when I click on it it says: "2TB" as in 2 TeraByte of storage! Its suppose to be 500g, Only.
    I know if I probably hit format, it will work again, but I really need the files on the Hard Disk. Is there anyway to get it to work?
    PS. I tries Data Rescue II and Disk Warrior, nothing happened.
    If anybody can help direct me to the solution or the right place to get help for this I would really appreciate it.
    I can't take this to an APPLE store, I'm not in the states ATM.
    Thank you in advance.

    It would be best to find out first if the hard drive itself has been damaged. Typically inside those prepackaged Harddrive enclosures you will find a regular 3 1/2" harddrive, either ATA/100 or a SATA type. Sometimes you might find a 2.5" drive, but at 500GB, its probably a SATA 3 1/2" drive.
    With any luck its just the enclosure itself that is damaged, and not the hard drive. Physical trauma such as the read/write head(s) smashing into the platters can happen after a fall.
    First off, the easiest thing to try is a new USB cable. Its a small possibility, but should be tried.
    Do you have access to any IT personnel? If you dangle a case of beer in front of them, maybe they can help with the diagnostics. He/she can remove the drive from the Western Digital enclosure and hook it up to another system to determine if its salvageable and maybe pull the data.
    As far as a Linux install is concerned, various Distros offer a LiveCD/DVD option which is a complete operating system on CD/DVD with no need to install. Sabayon Linux offers a specialized LiveCD ISO for download, as does Ubuntu. Download the disc image, burn it, and boot the system from the CD/DVD.
    I haven't tried it yet, but there is probably enough intelligence within the usb subsystem on the Ubuntu LiveCD for it to automatically detect the HFS+ partition on your Western Digital external box.
    JeffEmbracedDC below mentions a Windows software that will allow you to read HFS/+ partitions. You could always give that a go.

  • Repaired OS 10.4.11 HD prior to installing, Now Won't Mount

    I was planning to install Snow Leopard onto a 10.4.11 HD in a MacBook Core Duo running 10.4.11.
    The MacBook had already been acting strangely, Safari and iTunes both stopped working, but Firefox was working fine. I verified and repaired permissions, and got the message that the disk needed to be repaired. So I restarted, booted from the Snow Leopard CD and used the disk utility to repair the disk. Halfway through it said something about not being able to find the Node, and that the disk could not be repaired.
    I then tried to boot from the formerly functioning HD and it cannot be found. Snow leopard's Disk Utility will not mount the HD. What just happened here? And how do I get my my disk functioning again, or at a bare minimum, retrieve the data so I can start from scratch?

    Halfway through it said something about not being able to find the Node, and that the disk could not be repaired.
    Get your hands on a copy of the latest Disk Warrior and turn it loose on that HD...that HD should be fine afterwards.

  • Kernel panic, now external drive won't mount

    I had a kernel panic on my trusty old Powerbook G4 867MHz today. It's running 10.5.8.
    Everything on the computer seems to be fine after restart, but the WD MyBook 500MB that is connected directly to one of the PowerBook's USB ports now won't mount.
    The drive spins, but no show on the desktop.
    Disk Utility sees it. Verification and Repair work perfectly and pronounce the drive in perfect working order. I just can't mount it. Restart makes no difference. Neither does switching USB ports.
    I have also connected it directly to an iMac running 10.6.2. The iMac's Disk Utility can also see the drive and tell me that it's in fine health, but it, too, can't mount it. In the drive list in the Disk Utility pane, the first line of description of the drive is black like all the rest. The second line — the working name I have given the WD500 — is grayed out.
    Three questions:
    1. Have I tried everything?
    2. Is this situation retrievable?
    3. If the worst happens and it cannot be mounted as is, what is the easiest way to get files off the drive so I can erase and reconfigure it?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Norman,
    *" If the worst happens and it cannot be mounted as is, what is the easiest way to get files off the drive so I can erase and reconfigure it?"*
    There are no way to retrieve those files without connecting to your Mac(s).
    *"The second line — the working name I have given the WD500 — is grayed out."*
    It's possible the drive has died. Especially since it won't mount on either Mac.
    Go here for help to Resolve Kernel Panics
    Also, if the WD MyBook came with any software, try reinstalling it.
    And try repairing disk permissions...
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • External HD won't mount (plus other problems now)

    I have a LaCie 1TB that stores my Time Machine backups that now won't mount.
    I actually have had a litany of issues since yesterday afternoon, which I'll list here - - perhaps all just coincidence?
    iTunes offered to update our iPad 2 to iOS 5.
         Did that fine.
    iTunes then offered to update my iPhone 4 (Verizon version; 3G network) - - which surprised me as I thought it wouldn't be compatible with iOS 5
         The download of the iPhone iOS 5 indicated it was over 750mb in size and took an hour or two just to download the iOS.
         Software extract failed and iTunes indicated it couldn't verify my iPhone with Apple - try later. Got same results several times, leaving my iPhone apparently in a 'new' pristine, empty state.
         iTunes no longer recognized my iPhone and offered to restore it, but it wouldn't restore as Apple couldn't verifty it.
         As far as I knew, I now had a new(ish) empty iPhone after 10 months of app downloading etc (though I hoped my backups were still on my iMac
    Then I noticed shortly after all of the above that my wireless router (Cisco Linksys E1000) had suddenly failed - - its bank of lights were blinking and I had no wi-fi.
         I wired direct between the iMac and cable modem which at least got the iMac on the internet.
    Then I tried following suggested steps at Apple.com support to restore/repair iPhone issues, one of which included ensuring all iMac software wals up to date
         Sure enough, it wasn't - there was a new Security Update 2011-006 plus iPhoto update and 1 other I don't recall
         It was a 569mb download in all which took 5-6 hours to download (THAT seemed awful slow as did the earlier iOS 5 download - and this was direct throught the cable modem).
         The iPhoto update failed but apparently the other two updates were installed successfully
    Re-started iMac and noticed my external 1TB LaCie was not mounting
    In the midst of all of the above - at one point I'd had my iPhone connected by USB and using the direct cable internet access I thought I'd try iTunes again to restore the iPhone - - no luck again.   HOWEVER, letting the iPhone sit there in its blank state for several minutes, it suddenly came to life on its own with no software interaction. Up popped the password screen on the iPhone, I entetered my PIN and there was my iPhone in its normal state (what the ?????)
    So I have my iPhone back in its normal state under iOS 4.2.10 with apparently every app still on it - - this without a backup restore. Why it was dead - with only the iTunes + USB connector picture on its window before -  I have no idea.
    But - -I'm without my external HD. Disk Utility won't give me an option to mount it.
    Any thoughts? (and sorry for the long post - - this has been a frustrating 16 hours so far)

  • WD My Passport for Mac won't mount on my Mac Pro

    My 1TB external hard drive is less than six months old and was working fine; now won't mount on my Mac. I don't remember disconnecting it without ejecting it but I do think I got a message about needing to eject before disconnecting. I checked in the forum for a possible solution and tried connecting it to a PC laptop; I could see it to eject it but it didn't show up anywhere else. I am not a computer expert! How can I access my files? I have a Mac Pro, Mac OS X ver. 10.6.8.

    Historically, the problem has been that many USB-powered drives can't get enough power from a USB port after they begin to age. The Passport is bus-powered, getting all its power from a USB port. Not the best solution for a desktop computer.
    To get such a drive going again, you need one of two workabouts:
    1) a powered USB hub (has its own power supply to make up the shortfall) that goes between the external drive and the computer.
    2) use a "Y" USB cable to get power from two USB ports simultaneously (such as http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/USB2AYMBPB/)
    Also, WD uses an odd proprietary formatting scheme that is of itself a problem area. WD makes very good bare drives but the enclosures into which they put them to make an external drive are not very good and not particually Mac-Friendly. The formatting makes them harder to use.
    Once you get  the files you need off the external,  consider erasing and reformating it to Mac Extended Journaled using Disk Utility. That often makes the drive more reliable without having to revert to USB hubs or special cables. It gets rid of the proprietary formatting that seem to contribute to the problems.
    I have three external drives. All have WD bare drives inside but none are in WD encosures. By far the best enclosures for Mac external drives are those from OWC:

    I have two of the desktop model shown and one of its portable version for my MacBook Pro. All three have given me superb service and zero problems.

  • I just upgraded to the new Photo and find a few things missing. May find more later. My Events are gone. Also, the Albums and Projects that I created that were on the left side tab of iPhoto are now gone. Where are they?

    Where are my Events from the old iPhoto? Also, where are the albums and projects I created that were on the left side tab in my old iPhoto?

    Hersco wrote:
    After importing my iPhoto Library no Events became Albums. Some of my Albums are still Albums, but many are missing from the Albums tab and Sidebar. One of the Albums listed has no photos when it should have 142. Another is missing nearly all of its photos. I found some missing Albums by name via the search window. Yet they remain missing from the Albums tab. Very strange indeed. This is one big mess right now! Thank goodness iPhoto still works.
    Yes, it's a mess for sure, and I've lost confidence in it for now.  First attempt, 5 photos came up missing.  Delete and start over, then after second attempt 18 photos go missing.  Even one single missing photo is a real confidence breaker for me.
    After conversion, and activation of the sidebar, all of my Events were migrated into a single "Photos" Album called "iPhoto Events".  Why would I want "legacy" Events segregated into one big Album?  What the heck am I supposed to do with that?  That's useless if new photos are going to be organized in some other way moving forward.  I cannot imagine new photos automatically putting themselves into a new Event inside of the "iPhoto Events" Album... because they won't.  I'll be stuck with my old iPhoto Events in this one Album, and the new stuff organized as per Photos.  Weird, just weird.
    Also, in the "all photos" view, there are dates that are just blank.  I think I know why.  In iPhoto, I merged various photos into single Events.  For whatever reason, within the Library, this left empty folders behind.  iPhoto's fault, not mine... I simply dragged & dropped photos to combine Events.   Then during Photos import/conversion these empty folders got converted into "blank" days within Photos... this is simply ridiculous.  When programming for an import, you'd want to ignore a folder if there are no files inside of it, not convert it into a block of photos that contain no photos.  It's nonsensical... you cannot have an iPhoto Event with zero photos, yet that's what was converted over.  LOL.
    I'm certainly not going to invest the time into cleaning up and moving hundreds of Events and 18,000 photos if Photos can't even do a simple library conversion.  Heck, what about the dozens of photos that my iPhone 5S fails to geotag for whatever reason?  Can't edit geotags.  Can't bulk edit meta data.  These are pretty basic functions.  Total fail.
    I'm going back to iPhoto for a while, hoping Apple eventually cleans up this mess into something usable.

    Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels.  Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer.  I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation.  I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC.  I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots.  Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
    The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes.  Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond.   In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces  (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
    To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images.  After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size  images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
    I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data.  (I have a screen shot to show this.)  CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
    Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong.  I could also send screen shots of this data.
    At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR.  This is not normal.  I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution.  If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

  • Mozilla crashed yesterday and now bookmarks are not showing along the left side of page as they did before. They are on the menu bar but hubby does not like this location. Anyway I can get it back to the left side of the page?

    This spring we changed from IE to Mozilla after upgrading to Win 7. Everything has been fine with Firefox until yesterday when it crashed when I attempted to open an email. Since then the bookmarks (or favorites as my husband calls them) have not been in their usual place which was along the left side of the page. They are located in the Bookmarks bar at the top of the page but husband prefers the old IE way which we had until yesterday PM. Is there any way that we can get them back to the left side of the page other than going back to IE? Now that I have gotten used to Firefox I like it just fine.

    *You can open the Bookmarks in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > Bookmarks (Ctrl+B)
    *You can open the History in the sidebar via View > Sidebar > History (Ctrl+H)
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    You can find toolbar buttons to open the bookmarks (star) and the history (clock) in the sidebar in the toolbar palette and drag them on a toolbar.<br />
    Firefox 4 versions and later have two bookmark buttons with a star in the Customize window.<br />
    One star button has a drop marker that open a Bookmark menu.<br />
    The other star button without the drop marker opens the bookmarks in the sidebar.<br />

  • I've connected my external monitor (LG) to my new Macbook Pro 15" laptop, using the adaptor for VGA...the display now has a large black bar along the left side.  No adjustment on the monitor will fix it, no "options" on System Prefs either...any ideas?

    I've just purchased a new Macbook Pro, and connected it ot my external monitor (24" LG HD) using an Apple VGA adaptor.  The only resolution that looks good is the 1920 x 1080, but the image does not entirely fill the screen.  There is a large black gap on the left side of the screen now.  It worked fine with my "last generation" Macbook Pro...no adjustment on the monitor will help, and cannot find any System Setting in displays such as "options" or widescreen setting.  I've gone to the LG site, but no "Mac" related tech support issues come up...no forum here seems to deal with this particular issue either...any ideas?

    I have the same thing but with a 23 inch HP, worked fine with my MBP 13 from 2009 but the 2011 2.4 i5 does the exact same thing as yours!
    Very confused and hoping that some one else can help.
    Thanks
