Frequent Server Interruptions

ionbattle · Guest

I'm running a 3 seat xsan, 3 G5s, an Xserve Raid, and the SANBox 5200. My cat5 network is set up with 2 NIC cards on each g5 one connecting to the local network for internet, one connecting for metadata for the RAID, all static IPs, blah blah. Anyway, my main metadata controller, failed over to the secondary, and ever since it's been running on that machine, it's had frequent Server Interupptions. When I'm running spotlight, and I double click on a file it gets interrupted, and crashes finder. When I scroll over the recent documents folder in DVD Studio Pro, it interrupts, crashes dvd studio, crashes finder. Anytime this happens, I have to do a hard reset, as finder won't respond or recycle. This is very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Are you running Xsan 1.1? Which OS? When I was running 1.0 on 10.3.9, MDC failovers would cause Finder to cycle indefinately on all mounted clients.

10.4.3 and 1.1...I'm not really sure what's causing it...I'm swapping out the cable to see if that helps...

Does failing back to your first MDC fix the problem?

Check your SANBOX Switch Configuration, that's gonna be the culprit.
