Zpool import help

Hi,
I need to import a zpool but it does not show any pool:
# zpool import
no pools available to importAnd when I try zpool status:
# zpool status
pool: raid
state: UNAVAIL
status: One or more devices could not be opened. There are insufficient
        replicas for the pool to continue functioning.
action: Attach the missing device and online it using 'zpool online'.
   see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-D3
scrub: none requested
config:

          c2t0d0    UNAVAIL      0     0     0 cannot openWhat does it mean UNAVAILABLE ? If I try the "format" command it shows all the drives which are available:

# zpool export raidAnd then I just import it and reboot.
Thank you!.

Zpool import error

I'm having some slight difficulty importing a pool. I swapped motherboards for an upgrade and the new board didn't have a raid controller so I popped in an LSI 9211-8i I had on the shelf. Previously I was relying on an onboard LSI 1068E chipset
Now If i put the drives back on the old board, I can re-import this pool over and over again, but on the new controller, I get the following...

I've been digging for hours now and at first I thought the controller was bad, but now I'm not so sure. I did find some information about multipathing but I'm not sure how relevant it is. From the following doc it looks like the drive names I'm seeing indicate that multipath is enabled and I don't think it was supported by the old controller.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/820-1931/gfpwh/index.html
I tried turning it off as per the following doc, but either I did something wrong or that's not my problem
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19253-01/820-1931/6ndinfi7t/index.html
I really could use a hand here, if this is a configuration issue, it's at least a little beyond my knowledge
I should probably mention that the drives seem to be detected otherwise if I run format for example

Say that this disks don't have correct label ( like partition table).
You can try see partition on another disks and make same on this disks.
But not clear what cause lost this information and what loast more .

Zpool import on SAN not working

I have a zfs pool on a SAN disk that I flashcopied to another SAN disk
when I try to import the flashcopied LUN onto another server I get this
velma@/opt/IBMsdd/bin>zpool import -f
pool: testlun
id: 3386973188287377652
state: FAULTED
status: One or more devices are missing from the system.
action: The pool cannot be imported. Attach the missing
devices and try again.
see: http://www.sun.com/msg/ZFS-8000-3C
config:
testlun UNAVAIL insufficient replicas
vpath38g UNAVAIL cannot open
If I try to mount the lun it says it's "not fstype"
Any ideas?
We flashcopy production luns to other luns and then backup the falshcopied luns to save on downtime

Zpool import issue

Hello.
I have two Solaris 10 servers (release 10/09). The first one is a Sun M4000 Server with SPARC technology. The other one is a Sun Fire X4170 with x86 Intel architecture. Both servers are attached via SAN to the same EMC Storage system. The disks from the M4000 Server are cloned every night with the EMC Storage. After cloning the clone disks are made visible to the X4170. When I try to import the Pool on the X4170 with
zpool import -f sn2500-log
I get the following error message: *invalid vdev configuration*. But there is no problem when I try to import the same clone on an other SPARC server. Are there ZFS compatibility problems between x86 and SPARC architecture? There are differences when I compare the VTOC of the clone disk on the x86 and the source disk on the SPARC server. When I compare the VTOC of the clone disk on an other SPARC server and the source disk there are no differences.
I get the following informations from the X4170.

Well, ZFS is advertised as being endian independant.
But maybe the partition tables aren't.
You might have better luck with the question on the opensolaris boards.They should be.

Others ZFS pool in working fine.
What can I do for check ZFS pool on I/O error?
Any workarounds?
How can I import ZFS pool?
P.S. I have no backups... :-(
Thanks a lot!

Try checking the version #'s (doubtful) or better yet would be to use zpool scrub if you can.

Importing Help from fire wire hard drive

Hi
I have a Canon HV20 and a My Book 500 Gig Hard drive and I'm using a Ibook G4.
Here's my Problem , I only have one Firewire Input so I Plugged My Book In it and Put the Cameras firewire in the Hard drives fire wire out and When I try to Import Final cut Express can never find that it is plugged in to my Hard drive but when I go to Imovie It Finds it Easy.
So how can I import My footage directly to my Hard drive with out using Imovie?

hey there Michealbak, welcome to Discussions,
i've used a Belkin Firewire hub for 5 years w/ no issues because i needed more Firewire ports on my G4 iMac connecting FW audio, Sony cam & ext FW HDDs. then i used it briefly on my MacBook for the same purpose as you, needed to connect a FW HDD & my video cam. as Tom states Canon cams can have issues w/ multiple devices on the same FW buss. the hub may or may not help, as others have reported issues w/ the MyBook line of HDDs.
good luck

Problem importing Help topics from FrontPage into RoboHelp

Hi there,
This is my first time here.
I am a tech. writer in my first job (I've been here a couple
of weeks).
My company has just purchsed RoboHelp, and wants to import
it's Help topics from FrontPage (which I know nothing about) into
RoboHelp (which I know a teeny bit about).
I know the other tech writer here tried to import the topics,
and had R.H. continually crash.
I am the only tech. writer here for the week (aaaggghh! lol),
and I need to know how to fix this problem.
Please, when you respond, imagine that you are taling to a
first grader , and keep the instuctions simple.
Thanks in advance,
Leigh-Anne

We'll all been there at some point and come out the other side.
Rick asked you whether you had the project on a network
because this is the cause of so many RH problems. The underlaying
Access DB in RH doesn't work at all well there. It is highly
recommended that you work on your local PC and back up to a network
each night. You say there are two of you. If you are using the
RoboSource control features of RHX5 then you can have the project
on a network but the actual source files must be stored and changed
on your PCs.
You could try creating a new RH project and import the
FrontPage topics a few at a time. If this works, try a few more
into the RH project. Repeat this until you hit the problem. Once
you do, import the topics one at a time until you hit the problem.
This will identify the offending topic - if indeed the problem is
in a topic! Once you're there, try creating a new topic and cut and
paste the old topic's elements into the new topic. It's all a
process of elimination I'm afraid.
Try this and come back to the forum with any further problems
you find.

Live Photoshop 3D Import Help

I've been trying to get a 2D logo imported into after effects as a 3D image with a slight extrusion to add some depth. I can create the image as I want in photoshop as a 3D image layer, and I save it as a .PSD file. Whenever I try to import the image into after effects as a composition, I do not get the checkbox for "Live Photoshop 3d". I've been looking around, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help?

Seems odd to remove features.
Look up the "It was too much work" threads on this forum for explanations why things got chopped.
What was it replaced with?
Nothing. you need to buy plug-ins to import 3D geometry.
I've tried the extrusion in AE, but it only works on solids.
Read the help! It works with text and shape layers.

Editing and importing help

Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can help, I have two issues which I suspect may be related - when I edit in an external editor (photoshop or gimp for example) I'd like to be able to save an edited copy and have it appear in iphoto. The only way I've found to do this so far is to save the file then import it into iphoto from the finder. Not the end of the world but I'd be interested if there is a way of doing this automatically that will help me keep a track of my modified images?
Secondly I've just started using gimp to edit my photos then doing as i described above; saving then manually importing from the finder. However, I get an error message and despite fiddling about with everything I can think of I can't get around it, this means I can't view any gimp-edited photos in iphoto. The error message is:
Unreadable files: 1
The following file could not be imported (this file is in the iPhoto library)
<file path>
Can anyone help please?!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. To add to Terence's post the following may be of some help as long as you're not using RAW files:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

Nikon D7100 - RAW (very large files). Lightroom 4 will not allow them to be imported -Help!

I need to edit and make my files smaller etc but they are at present between 20 and 30 mgbites and I cannot import them into Lightroom. Can anyone help me with this problem? I am in Lightroom 4.

Thanks I think I have Lightroom 4 .4 but I will check again on the packet..this belw from someone else about this problem seems to advice Capture NX and a plugin from Nikon??
A quote from another forum I have been reading:-
Have you downloaded the Codec from Nikon. I use both Windows Vista and Windows 7. I downloaded the Codec of the Nikon D7100 yesterday and installed it and I don't have the latest Capture NX, I have the original I brought shortly after buying my D200. I can now use the D7100 files directly into my Capture NX software. ViewNX gives you the basics of Raw editing but Capture NX gives you the advantage of using the U point system. I found this out purely by accident. If you can download the Codec free of charge and pick up a cheap old Capture NX you can get all your EXIF data as well as lense data without any issues.. The Camera companies pay Adobe a license fee for using the Adobe Gamma in their cameras so why should they pay more for file format. Adobe is very protective over its intellectual property so why not with Canon or Nikon. They comply with the consumer trade agreements on EXIF and image authentication. Nikon have cameras in Space which is more than Adobe ever dreamt of. So file format has little or nothing to do with compatibility.

Disappearing files on import - help please.

Just trailing Ap 3 and trying to learn it's idiosyncrasies.
I have 10 files in a desktop folder. I import all 10 into a new project. I work on a few with various adjustments and then delete say 6 of the originals leaving four of the originals in the project. I then try to re-import the 6 deleted files from the original desktop folder but they don't show up in the import window. I tried changing the name of the files and even moving them to a differently named folder but they still will not appear. What is happening please?

Ken,
I have emailed you a couple of times over the weekend and earlier this week replying to your last email, especially as I am getting more issues with constant server errors from my laptop, with CC not syncing at all from my laptop, but havne't heard back from you. Would you be able to help or indicate where I can get help with this. I would realy appreciate it.
Thank you.

IPhoto 9.5.1 cannot locate photos I imported...but the size of my iPhoto folder has definitely increased after importing - help!

I imported over 40GB of photos into iPhoto but now when I go to view there is a thumbnail but I receive an Alert message about not finding the original after I click on it.
The iPhoto folder definitely increased in size after the importing. I'm running iPhoto 9.5.1.
Thanks!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards

Large database import - help needed

Friends,
We have received 1 TB external hard drive with 750 GB MS SQL server zipped backup file in it from our client. We need to import this database at our end and then write programs to retrieve data and push to another system. I am asking these questions from you
to figure out best possible way to import this database:
Ideally client would like a cloud hosted SQL server. But the concern is importing 750 GB of database into cloud hosted SQL server may take enormous amount of time. Do you think this is valid
concern?
Another option we have is to buy a powerful machine (one with at least 16 GB RAM and Solid State Harddrives with space at least 3 TB). Then install SQL server on it and do everything on this
machine. Do you think this will be a better option? Can you suggest a server machine configuration that you know can handle database of this size? Also do such machines need any special expertise for programmers who have worked with databases of 4-6 GB on
regular machines?
Thanks for your help in advance.
VW

Hello
I heard that you can send your SQL backup file to Microsoft by postal office so they restore to a VM Azure running SQL Server. That could be an option.
have a look to this site
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/gallery/active-directory/usps/
The decision of a cloud based SQL vs. an On-Prem SQL is up to you. you can get many different point of views here
