Creation of a NAS

• Video metadata date is incorrect: the value and not of creation date sharing

  10 iOS, iPhone 6 +, Windows 10. Photos and videos are shared through iCloud, but NOT stored in iCloud.

  Once synced on my PC, the photos and videos have a truncated name (for example, "016a1f2e11dfcc680e1009cb96346b67678fb2c6bc.jpg"). Of course, this is not acceptable at all to me when I organize them on my NAS: I prefer a significant, sortable name, as "2016-09-16 18-15-20259 (Apple iPhone 6 more) .jpg.

  To do this, I simply read the EXIF information directly from the image, and I rename the image accordingly. No problem for the photos.

  But for videos... I do the same, in the world, but with less information. I can extract only creation date/time from metadata of the videos, not the unit that captured video. Sad, but I have not found anything else, and at least it's automatic.

  Recently, I found that the date in the video file is NOT correct: this is the timecode of SHARING via iCloud, not the timecode CAPTURE. I have therefore some videos with a delta of two weeks between the true creation as well as the "official" date

  I checked this on my phone: date is correct (once the video is no longer in full screen, the date is displayed at the top of the screen, and it is 'the' date I'm looking).

  So, question: How can I get the date of the 'real' creation of all these videos on my PC? It exists: it appears on the iPhone that took the video (a woman) AND mine. Information is 'lost' only on the PC, but I think it's a problem of reading of 'bad' metadata (I use FFMPEG to get currently), or the wrong file for reading (perhaps within an iTunes/database file, but didn't find, not found in the registry or the other).

  Best solution is to find something operate locally, through the command line, to do it in batch mode. A solution of GUI PEUT agree if I can automate with AutoIt (i.e. should not be a native Win32 application, not Java, .NET, GTK, QT and so on, OR must have an export feature). A solution based on the web is not suitable, but can be less boring to review each video one after another to manually check the date.

  Thanks in advance.

  In my opinion, the only way to fix this is with third-party software like this one.

• FS7610 error creating cluster NAS

  I have one Equallogic FS7610 I am trying to add to my Equallogic Group Manager. It is all fresh out of the box, so I don't have my client network and DNS to the top yet.  I do see the unit and start the wizard to configure.  I can't seem to put in all my configuration options, and then try to click Finish.  I get an error:

  There is no specified NAS cluster

  Is it because I don't have the client network and DNS upward?  He's trying to see if there is a group of the same name to join before the creation?

  All this against the new material, so I will try to upgrade the firmware.  I've updated my Force10 S4810 and PS6110.  I was told the only way to update the FS7610 was part of the storage.

  It's Friday, so I'm away for the weekend.  If I can't find a solution in the forums, I'll tag support Monday.

  Thank you!

  Just to close it.  This was caused by not only not all 8 interfaces connected.  The unit will not deploy with a gradient on the network config.  It would have been nice if it check it out rather than failing in a weird way.

• ESXi: creation of data store

  has obtained ESXi installed 5.1.

  have a couple of questions regarding the creation of a data store. My VM will reside on a synology 1512 +. the NAS has active windows and NFS file system.

  When I create the data store by using NFS, I just enter the IP address of the NAS and shared folder path (mount point)?

  I need to create a store of data by VM?

  can I import my existing virtual machines after that the data store is created?

  TIA

  No, you can have several VM in a single warehouse NFS. Simply storage vMotion virtual machine on your newly commissioned data store.

• Add a NAS as a Datastore of ESX 3.5 Server

  Hello

  We have ESX 3.5 Update 2 running on DELL Poweredge R900 server.

  We would like to add a NAS (QNAP TS-659) as an additional data store.

  Someone knows how it works?

  Hello

  Be very careful with QNAP NAS storage, last weekend that I struggled with TS-419U Turbo NAS and ESX 3.5 U5, without success.

  I was able to connected ESX iscsi Software initiator LUN, I was able to create VMFS on it, but when I was trying to copy/vmdk on new LUN creation - process could not complete.

  On vSphere this NAS works fine but with ESX3.5 I couldn't force it to cooperate

• Poor ESXi 4 NFS Datastore Performance with various NAS systems

  Hello!

  In testing, I found that I get between a half and a quarter of the e/s inside a guest performance when ESXi 4 systems connect to the using NFS data store if the clients connect to the exact same NFS share.  However, I don't see this effect if the data store using iSCSI or local storage.  This has been reproduced with different systems running ESXi 4 and NAS systems.

  My test is very simple.  I created naked CentOS 5.4 minimum installation (completely updated 07/04/2010) with VMware Tools loaded and the creation time of a file of 256 MB using jj.  I create the file on the root (a VMDK stored in different data warehouses) partition or a directory of the NAS mounted via NFS, directly in the comments

  My crucial test configuration consists of a single test PC (Intel 3.0 GHz Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU with a single Intel 82567LM-3 Gigabit NC and 4 GB RAM) running ESXi 4 connected to a printer HP Procurve 1810 - 24 G, which is connected to a VIA EPIA M700 NAS system running OpenFiler 2.3 with two 1.5 to 7200 tr / MIN SATA disks configured in front of software RAID 1 and dual Gigabit Ethernet NIC.  However, I have reproduced it with different ESXi PC and NAS systems.

  This is a release of one of the tests.  In this case, the VMDK is a store of data stored on the NAS via NFS:

  The first dd is a VMDK stored in a connected via NFS data store.  The dd ends almost immediately, but the synchronization takes nearly 40 seconds!  It's less than 7 MB per second transfer rate: very slow.  Then I get the exact same NFS share that ESXi is used to store data directly in the comments and repeat the DD.  As you can see, the SD is longer and the synchronization takes no real time (as befits a NFS share with active sync), and the whole process takes less than 10 seconds: this is four times faster!

  I don't see these results on data warehouses mounted via NFS.  For example, here is a test on the guest even running from a mounted via iSCSI data store (using the exact same SIN):

  As you can see, the performance of NFS direct comments for each of the three are very consistent.  ISCSI and the performance of the store local data disk are both a bit better than that - as I expect.  But the mounted via NFS data store gets only a fraction of the perfomance of the any of them.  Obviously, something is wrong.

  I was able to reproduce this effect with an Iomega Ix4 - 200 d as well.  The difference is not as dramatic, butalways important and consistent.  Here is a test of a guest of CentOS using a VMDK stored in a data store provided by an Ix4 - 200 d via NFS:-.

  Once more, the direct NFS mount gives very consistent results.  But using the diskette provided by ESXi on a mounted NFS datastore gives still worse results.  They are not as terrible as OpenFiler test results, but they are constantly between 60% and 100% longer.

  Why is this?  What I've read, NFS performace is supposed to be within a few percent of the iSCSI performance, and yet I see between 60% and 400% worse performance.  And this isn't a case of the SIN is not able to provide correct NFS performance.  When I connect to the NAS via NFS directly inside the guest, I see much better than when ESXi connects to the same NAS (the same proportion!) via NFS.

  The configuration of ESXi (network and network cards) is 100% stock.  There is no VLAN in place, etc., and ESXi system has only one

  Single Gigabit adapter.  It is certainly not optimal, but it doesn't seem to me to be able to explain why a virtualized guest is able to get a lot better performance NFS as ESXi itself to the same NAS.  After all, they both use the same exact suboptimal network configuration...

  Thank you very much for your help.  I would be grateful any idea or advice, you might be able to give me.

  Hi all

  It is very definitely a performance O_Sync problem. It is well known that NFS VMware shops still use O_Sync for writes little matter what share put for a default value. VMware uses a custom file locking system so you really can't compare it to a normal NFS share connection to a different NFS client.

  I have validated that the performance will be good if you have an SSD cache or storage target with enough reliable battery backup.

• To cancel creation of the pre-allocated disk?

  Hi all

  I have VMware Server 2.0.1 installed on the Server 2003 x 64 Standard.

  I added a new virtual disk on an existing virtual machine. I chose to do a disk 2 TB préallouée as the virtual machine is intended to be used as a NAS. (Data store has 2.7 TB of space of btw).

  The problem is that it always takes to create the disk and uses a lot of resources on the host computer. At this rate, I think that it will take a few days to complete. Also I am unable to use the Web Interface or VI client to access the host while it is creating the disk - Web Interface I can connect, but it just says: loading for centuries where the task list is and then does nothing. Customer says VI server too slow to react.

  I have 2 virtual machines under tension, which are running OK but a bit slow because of the disk creation task.

  Is there any way I can cancel this task via command line or something?

  I want to recreate the disk using the tool vmware - vdiskmanager.exe but need to cancel this task first.

  Any help would be appreciated, thanks

  You can try to restart pass.

• Slow drive QNAP NAS

  Hello

  I mounted the SIN of QNAP (TS - 451, 4 x 3 TB WD RED, RAID-5) on network Giga ethernet (using unmanned giga ethernet switch hubs). However, the speed of file transfer is slow and he cuts every time.

  I use IMAC 27 "with the latest MAC updates.

  I tried to mount the drive smb/afs and its still slow in both types of mounting.

  Any suggestion please?

  Thank you.

  OS X does not support the NAS technology. You must contact the NAS developers for support on their product. The first thing I would recommend you do well that must ensure the NAS software that you have installed is designed to work with the version of Mac OS X installed. If not then check with the developers to see if they have updates.

  This means, at any time your account to update or upgrade the operating system on your computer, check with the NAS developers to ensure that they support this update before the update of the OS.

• Sierra and Photos: unable to load library of pictures located on a NAS

  I have a 300 GB photo library located on a NAS.

  No problem with El Capitan and Yosemite.

  With Sierra when I opened the Photos I had a spinning wheel and even after a night full, nothing happened (Finally, the NAS disconnected... but I think it's something Sierra... never happened before)

  Now, I am trying to get all the Masters folder within the library of Photos...

  I have the same problem. Cannot open the pictures library that is located on a Synology NAS. Finder (not answer)

• macOS Sierra broke such automount NAS when connecting

  Using a script, Automator action or via 'Elements User/Login' sharing NAS automount when the connection requires * manual * confirmation of username/password to succeed

  Not a big deal (just a bad and useless nuisance) on my MBP. But a real PITA on my headless Mac mini server

  It looks like this bug (unless it's a great novelty) is around since beta1! : rolleyes:

  I deleted all media, restarted Sierra and implemented everything is new. Nothing.

  Not good.

• ITunes does not work when I open a file of my QNAP NAS.

  When I try to open a file or card with Itunes my QNAP NAS via the finder and shared devices, so it does not open, or it opens very slowly. Can someone help me solve this problem? The connection between my mac pro book and my NAS is wireless.

  Friend

  What happens if you try to open one without iTunes? That has really nothing to do at all with iTunes?  If this isn't the case, then you would probably get a wider range of people experienced with problems of general network on a forum for you use the version of the system.

• iTunes Ripping from CD to NAS

  Hi there, apologies as I'm sure this has been answered in some form several times but I can't find too specific a question (s). I have a MacBook (OSX) and a DLINK NAS talk to one another. I would like to ship ripping my CD collection, so I have digital versions available, allowing me to use a number of services (iTunes, Sonos etc.), with files on the NAS itself.

  What setting should I before I start?

  1. Change iTunes to MP3 format extraction
  2. ITunes library update location on NAS where ripped files will be made available
  3. Configure iTunes to watch the entire where my audio files will be, or create a separate folder "library only" and somehow configure if it has a few shortcuts to real files?
  4. Anything else?

  In short, I want to make sure I'll keep that a copy of the file to save space as well assume that I need to extract the files directly on the NAS. Then iTunes media library should just look at these files, so there is no drop iTunes and double files?

  I have probably explains this very badly indeed but eager to make sure that I'm going on the right foot and make a beautiful torn library located on my NAS, but just once!

  Thanks in advance!

  Everyone likes the idea of SIN, Sonos, etc., but in reality, iTunes and NAS don't like each other and can cause unexpected problems. Not always, but when it happens, you'll be one very unhappy announcement back here.

  The format to which tear you depends on the size of the file to which you are ripping applications are you your other devices and to a certain extent.  For speeds of 128 k or less get you better quality of AAFC.

  If you continue to use the SIN, you can move the entire library to it.  Copy the entire folder iTunes from iTunes to the NAS, then launch iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the iTunes Library.itl file in the folder on the NAS.  The NAS will have to be awake and active before launching iTunes or iTunes will forget the location and you will need to reset it.

  From this moment the only things stored on your computer will be the backups of the iPhone and some files in iTunes preferences.

  Make sure that you keep backups of the library on the NAS.  We can one day you'll start things and discover all your track lists point to very different files and you will LOVE your backup at this stage because dealing with by other means will require 30 positions.

• Installation of iTunes, Synology NAS,

  I can get a good guide on how to use my 716 + NAS synology, to store all my music files, and when I open itunes on my iMac, MacBook air, or windows laptop or even when I use AppleTV, I can access this music (if it is not stored locally on my computer)?

  Also, I tried this in the past, but with itunes on my iMac to restart, it would never ride my share, so he always missed the location default library itunes (locally) and mess substance upward.

  I see also synology has an Itunes Server package, that would be a solution?

  Thank you

  First, be aware that there are no rare posts here on NAS problems with iTunes.  NAS is great conceptually, but in execution of problems that can occur with iTunes and have done so for more than a decade.  Everyone makes fingers to everyone, but the main thing is that you always run a risk of a library mutilated.  Better is to use a simple external drive and use the NAS for backup.

  I think the server package is pretending to be a shared library iTunes without having an active version of iTunes open at the time.  Have you read the manual or online for the NAS documentation? I don't have one and what I know is people post questions here.

  The reason why you had problems before is your SIN is going to sleep and not wake up before launching iTunes.  The same thing would happen even if you use a simple external hard drive.  If it doesn't happen at startup, you can try to put an alias to the iTunes on the server application, then an alias to this alias in your computer and start iTunes this way, not directly from the computer.

• Time Machine NAS RAID

  Goal: large, reliable Time Machine back-up.

  (No purpose: archiving.) I do that separately on optical carriers per year, double copies, which goes off site. I understand that optical media can degenerate over time - even if some are marketed as "of archive-quality" - and therefore based on a cloud of archiving is the way to go but for now he takes too much bandwidth and I'm worried about security. I recently got a burner external blu - ray: exceptional.)

  Question: can I use RAID for Time Machine if I connect by USB directly on my computer?

  Issue 1: reliability external drive. This has happened twice that I bought a property, brand, large external hard drive and was prematurely fail at a difficult time. My local computer guru said "it happens" and is "unpredictable" and just buy a new one, most won't. Or, for better quality, get a NAS - network attached storage that can be attached, they have the temperature control, mine is a RAID 2 discs, so there is that the degree of redundancy - but not, I learn, protect against a corrupt Time Machine backup and that can happen, or power increases (although it is on a high-tech power bar) , or theft, etc.

  Problem 2: using NAS, which I connected to a Terminal Airport Express via an Ethernet cable - if connected to the computer by WiFi - the Time Machine backup becomes a "sparsebundle" (set of files, in fact), encrypted file with password (?) drive access. However, this was work and I did a full restore of your data (no 'system') the other day with Migration Wizard when I got a new hard drive installed in my old iMac (also upgraded at the time of 10.9 to 10.11). It took over all night, but the wonder of wonders, it chugged along and finished and seems fine. (I have not checked tens of thousands of files individually!)

  (My SIN explicitly supports Time Machine, and I checked that box in the configuration of the SIN, and it seemed to work.) I didn't have to leave the mounted drive. Time Machine found hourly and used invisibly in the background.)

  Problem 3: I have rename my hard drives for some reason any and do not remember quite what its name was. I wonder if this is part of my problem (read more). But there is a method in Time Machine to 'Browse other discs of backup. " I was looking for a file that I kept outside my usual login "user" and so had not been returned when I used Migration Assistant for data recovery only.

  However, when I do this, then nothing is there. I've learned that sometimes, with an encrypted sparsebundle, wireless backup, you will have to let Time Machine sit for a few minutes before the back-ups start to appear, but now, with my new hard drive (with a new name) and the new version of the OS, there is simply nothing; just 'today' that shows only my current hard drive status. Obviously, there was something, or Migration Assistant wouldn't have worked, but during the inspection of the backup via Time Machine, the file seems to be here (whatever_my_computer - name_was.sparsebundle), but it is empty.

  If I just try to navigate in the Finder to the sparsebundle NAS Time Machine, I can find it but not to open it. Double click: nothing happens. It is not that I forgot to connection settings, this is what it do not ask me for them.

  This happened to me twice and the first time was the day after archiving (luck and good planning) and I thought that it is a kind suddenly lucky, but now it happened again.

  So, I tried a bit of searching and not found a clear answer to my question above. I do not see these links:

  TEM http://www.petemarovichimages.com/2013/11/24/Never-use-a-RAID-As-Your-Backup-sys.

  https://support.Apple.com/en-CA/HT201250

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/3837784?start=0 & tstart = 0

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/7448896?start=0 & tstart = 0

  https://discussions.Apple.com/thread/5849068?TSTART=0

  Of them, it seems that a NAS that has an explicit ability to Time Machine might work (mine did), but is not fully functional, not approved by Apple and is completely unpredictable. My limits are described above. (I work around them).

  However, moving forward: I have this RAID 2 discs sitting around, seemingly more reliable than a drive external non-temperature controlled, and I wonder about the connection by USB directly on my computer. What is the downside of this? That is my question. Who will 'normally' work as a Time Machine backup external drive?

  Another option is to get two large external hard drives and the value of Time Machine to switch between the two. I have not tried, but apparently it was possible for the last iterations little Mac OS X.

  I have important data that requires careful management.

  Thank you all,

  Charles

  I use a direct attached Drobo (it is a very easy to use RAID device).

  I've always had problems with Time Machine on the network, so I stopped using it in this way. I've never had problems with the TimeMachine and direct-attached storage.

  With the Drobo if a disk goes bad, I buy a replacement and hot it swap for the failed drive.

• Disabling creation tag 'Album fate. "

  Hello - the first time poster.

  Since the upgrade to iTunes 12.4.3.1 under Windows, I noticed that when filling tags for titles in my playlist ID - for example, update of the artist, Album and work - a new tag "Album fate" is created.

  Is there a way to disable the creation and filling of this tag 'Album fate? "  I'm certainly very finnicky to keep my ID tags clear of unwanted information, and the tag of the Album sorting is not something I'm curious about.  Of course, I can manually remove the tags later outside of iTunes, but it would be better, if they were not created in the first place.

  Thoughts?  Thanks in advance for any guidance, much appreciated!

  Since the upgrade to iTunes 12.4.3.1 under Windows, I noticed that when filling tags for titles in my playlist ID - for example, update of the artist, Album and work - a new tag "Album fate" is created.

  Hello Cbal,

  iTunes does not automatically create an Album tag kind.  It seems that as it does.

  From 12.4, if the tag Album sorting is not met, iTunes will display the name of the Album in the Album sort field (less 'a', 'one', or 'the' in the English version).  It shows in grey to indicate that it is not really met.  This is to show how the album will sort.
