Are you setup to use RAID Admin on the X Serve RAID’s? If so make sure the host cache flushing is disabled.

Are you making 3 different volumes?

Hey Lance good to hear from you, no worries, I’d rather help someone get setup right over just making a “sale” for promax.
In response to Davids post, I’ve seen really slow speeds when you have it in RAID 5 or 3 in the past, I don’t think it will have enough bandwidth for multiple people when it’s RAID protected.

This is an interesting setup, it will not support DV in Highpoints RAID protection mode, but without it, it might. I’ve seen some wierd issues with SATA HBA’s in the Mac Pro’s although I haven’t seen any experimenting with the highpoint Rocket RAID card.

Are you using telnet?
Try typing telnet 10.0.0.1 in terminal, it should then ask for a password, also I’m not 100% sure but I believe that you can use the latest version of the san surfer switch manager to update the firmware (you just can’t change any of the setting on the switch before the firmware is upgraded)
You said your using DHCP, you might want to use a static IP setting for your G5 close to the default Qlogic one to get it set up the first time, like 10.0.0.2.
hope this helps

You can partition the drive and make multiple write volumes from one LUN.
I’ve made 32 Volumes with one X Serve RAID (configured with only 2 RAID 5 LUNS.)

May 15, 2006 at 4:04 pm in reply to: is anyone out there using Metasan software with Fcp ??Yes, we recently set up MetaSAN with 3 Mac clients and 1 PC on the same SAN, we created 1 NTFS volume and 1 HFS+ volume, both volumes show up up on both the Mac and PC. It’s a very flexible solution.

Mixed HBA’s are fine and you won’t run into any problems if you throw an X Serve RAID in the mix, the only thing to watch out for is using some older fiber chanel jbods with Tiger and apple HBA’s.
