| My VFibre system is not booting. I get "A disk read error occured". | Jun-27-11 |
| When using the Configuration Wizard during metaSAN installation, if you have added the System Reserved Partition to the SAN by accident, you can no longer boot. This can happen because the Configuration Wizard detects the System Reserved Partition as a separate volume. During initialization, by default, all volumes are detected and selected to be added to the SAN. To prevent adding the System Reserved Partition to the SAN, make sure its check-box is cleared. (Note that after installing metaSAN on the VFibre, the Configuration Wizard no longer lists the System Reserved Partition in the list of volumes to be added to the SAN.) Follow the steps below to recover.
1. Insert the Windows installation disk in the DVD drive of the Fusion VFibre.
2. When the boot process prompts you to select the language of the installation, press Shift+F10 buttons on your keyboard to start the Command prompt.
3. Change the directory to Windows\\System32, executing the following: cd Windows\\System32
4. Type: msanutil /u c:
5. Restart the Fusion VFibre The System Reserved Partition is now removed from your SAN and you can normally start Windows. |

| I'm unable to save FCP project files onto the SAN volume, getting an "Unknown File" error message. | Oct-18-12 |
| This has been a known issue with Final Cut Pro 5, 6, and 7. Currently, the best practice is to open and save project files locally such as on your Desktop (only the .fcp file. The media can obviously stay on the SAN). When you are done working with with the project you can safely copy the project file to the SAN with the Finder to store it and then when you want to use it again you copy it back down to your Desktop. The only issue obviously becomes versioning control. Unfortunately there is no real work around and is an issue with Final Cut Pro when it is writing the actual project file to a SAN volume. If you decide to continue to work directly off the project file on the SAN you WILL continue to get this error at random intervals and when it happens your only recourse is to do a SAVE AS and save it to a local disk. If you really need to store project files where multiple people can access it then you might want to look into Final Cut Server because when you check out a project in Final Cut Server it actually stores the checked out copy of the project file locally and then when you check it back in it copies the file back so the project file is never actually being written by Final Cut Pro to the SAN\u8212 Tech Tip coutesy of Christopher Colline, Senior Systems Engineer, Mac Professionals. |
