Server files to fiber without Xsan?

Hi all

We did a Mac Mini server for a long time now on ethernet on our small business network, and we recently replaced one of our editing Mac Pro (2010 model) with a more recent 2013 videos.

The Mac Pro 2010 has a fiber inside, and I wonder if it is possible to use it to replace our server Mac Mini (El Cap) and run as a file on the network server using fibers. Our firewall is a Sonicwall NSA 4600, which has the ability to take entry fiber connections, then all customers would be connected via ethernet. All our data would be on the internal SSD drives, and configure a RAID is not necessary (there are already solutions secondary and backup in place).

I have little or no experience using fiber (a company from the outside set up our private network edition). Before I jump into the rabbit hole, which was wondering is) adding a fiber to a network machine works similar to ethernet (i.e. just setting IP, Sub, etc.)? (B) what I need to set up an XSAN system with controllers separate metadata etc., or can I simply connect the mac pro in the switch firewall and SMB/AFP share as he was connected by ethernet? And (C) can other services OS X Server as a VPN server, RADIUS, or OD work through the fiber connection, or do I need to run an Ethernet line separate to those of work (or even to keep the Mac Mini for these functions)?

The advantage that I would hope to achieve is a debit to transfer files to and from customers.

Thank you!

There are two types of use of fiber that your current Mac Pro could use.

  1. Ethernet over fiber - used for the connection of normal computer network
  2. FDDI over fiber - used for the connection of SAN storage

It's not not obvious from your post that you are using. Ethernet over fiber option is mainly for going the distance, but could also be used with a faster for example 10 Gbit/s network connection.

Your current Mac Pro run Xsan? If it means that he uses FDDI.

Note: Everything needs to use compatible versions for Xsan for work.

You can get the two 10 Gbps, that interfaces Ethernet fiber and FDDI interfaces for use with a Mac, this is done with a direct Thunderbolt adapter, or a bolt of lightning to box PCIe in which you want to keep a PCIe card - most likely even the currently in your Mac Pro.

FDDI is only used for storage connections and is normally only used by servers. (And the storage itself.) It permanently unusable for normal networking, servers would also have Ethernet connections for this.

A 'SAN' allows several servers share a single storage via direct connections (FDDI) device, normally only one computer can be connected to a storage device. The Xsan software or a similar software for other platforms acts as a controller to ensure these several servers can use the same storage without conflict.

  • SSXA: How it connects to Content Server as a sysadmin without password?

    Hello world

    We use SSXA 11.1.1.5. The documentation says that SSXA engine accesses the content as a user admin server internally:
    the adminUser userId is used to extract the data from the content server file and store it in the Studio of Site for external Applications cache.
    With little investigation, we found that the admin user is configured in the configuration file wcm - config.xml:
    <contentServer connectionName="MyPortal" adminUser="sysadmin"/>
    However, we are confused because no password is necessary. (In fact, the XML < contentServer > element has an attribute called "adminPassword" but it does not matter what we put in it - the continuous SSXA engine to run. The user interface does not include a password either, field that makes us think that this attribute is deprecated).

    Could someone explain to me how SSXA connects to the content without password server? If it uses some special API that does not require a password, it's a security breach?

    Thank you

    It uses the remote Client of Intradoc (IDRC). http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E14571_01/doc.1111/e16819/toc.htm

    It is not a security hole because there is a UCM configuration parameter called SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter that determines which network addresses are allowed to use CRMI.

  • How to transfer files to iphone without iTunes library?

    My iTunes library is on an external drive, which is not accessible at the moment. I would like to connect the iPhone to my computer and transfer files from Mac to iPhone. Is there a way to access iTunes without creating a new library on my Mac? Or y at - it another way to transfer files on iPhone without using iTunes?

    Not with iTunes if you do not the original library for which the last phone connected.  If these are iTunes store purchases or if you use one of the iCloud (Apple or game music) service you can download directly to the phone. You could also investigate the use of third party services such as DropBox and then use a different media player to play music on your phone outside of the application.

    Edit PDF files in InDesign is not a good idea. If the file was originally exported ID, then change the original and then create a new PDF file.

    Open an old, and then use the command replace Pages to insert the new pages on the 'old'. The fields that you have already created will remain in place when you do this.

    Hi Scott,.

    It is not possible to save a file password protected without password with Adobe Reader, need you Adobe Acrobat to remove protection by password. Even with Adobe Acrobat, you can only remove the safety if you are informed on the password otherwise you will need to contact the author / creator of the PDF to remove security.

  • Is it better to use Windows Server 2008 with or without Hyper-V?

    There are two "families" of Windows Server 2008: with and without Hyper-V.

    I need to install a new Windows Server 2008 (x 64) in a new server machine.  So I was wondering that I should choose.  With or without Hyper-V?  Because in the future, I might want to install VMWare Server 2.  If there is Hyper-V, would there be a conflict?

    Use that WITH Hyper-V. Hyper-V is a role that you add after the installation. If you install one without, so you'll never have the ability to use Hyper-V on this machine, if you need. Please keep in mind that you cannot run virtual Hyper-V and VMware Server computers on the same host at the same time, as the previous poster said - you will see a pretty blue screen if you try

  • Can manually transfer you the work files and touch (without Cloud Computing service)?

    Can manually transfer you the work files and touch (without Cloud Computing service)? I can't find where Touch is to store my work files. The cloud service also says that it is a 30 day trial. Does include just the 2 GB storage space? I have no interest in other services and just want to be able to get my images to and from my tablet.

    On a side note, it would be nice if it was easier to switch between the gum and the brush.

    Hi rtan73,

    The 2 GB of storage space is complementary and is available indefinitely.

    30-day trial you're talking about is for a full creative cloud subscription. This includes access to all Adobe CS applications + many more, but is a limited trial. You should be fine with just the 2 GB storage cloud, however.

  • Conversion error of an Exchange Server and a server files to 95%

    Hello

    I have problems when I am trying to convert an Exchange Server and a file server. Two of them are physical servers that I'm trying to convert an advanced vsphere ESX infrastructure. The problem is that when the conversion process reach 95% fail and sometimes it says that the physical server restarts. Is there a recommendation to convert and Exchange Server. Because I also convert a SQL Server, and I don't know what to do.

    I tell you that these conversions have tried to end the two server into production. Could this be the problem? I should stop all Microsoft Exchange services before you begin to convert the machine? Somewhere I found it is recommended all users to be disconnected from the server when you try to convert a machine, but I don't know if it's a suggestion or it is an institution. I thought that maybe the problem could be that the Exchange database cannot be suspended and that is because the process fails.

    Can someone help me with this problem? On the other hand, is there another application that is used to convert a physical machine in virtual? I only know the VMware Converter.

    Thank you.

    Warlock.

    While making the P2V conversion, it has always recommended to stop the services associated with the database, tools and application. This helps the conversion process ends without errors.

    Have you checked that the vmware converter logs, errors it gives while doing the conversion?

    For P2V conversion it is company known tool Platespin.Refer the link for more details below.

  • Copy Virtual Machine on the ESX Server windows file server (files)

    I made a copy of a computer virtual with Vmware converter and it is sitting on the windows file server, is there a way to copy the files to the server, ESX4?  Something like a copy and paste?

    Thanks in advance!

    Simply right click on the data store you want to place the files on (Summary tab when selecting one of the hosts connected to this data store), select "Browse the data store" and then use the button "transfer files to this data store. You can use it to download a folder or file from a target, that you access from your system. It might make things easier if you create a folder in the store of data first, and then download the files one at a time. Make sure that the virtual machine is turned off when you do.

    Another option might be to vMotion/migrate it from current storage to a data store in the ESX environment. I did not the same type of migration before, it will or will not be, works correctly. I moved files VM from a source, see my workstation, up to a data store that the ESXi host has a connection to before without problem (with the virtual machine powered off course).
