Help, anyone?   This is probably a no-brainer to most people but something I've never done before so I am not sure how to go about it.  Does anyone have an idea?  I'm getting the feeling people don't use mirrored folders with Vibe!

Thanks in advance,

Val

UGH...totally banging my head against the wall, doing the definition of insanity, etc. 

Here is my process:

I've stopped Vibe, run the install in advanced mode, cofigured a read only Resource driver 1name/title "ISOProdDev".  It is *definitely* enabled.

The path is

//servername/media/nss/DATA/Shared/Engineering\ISO - New Project Development/

I have granted both user rights and Group rights to the resource, of which I am a member of both. 

I save everything and proceed and it tells me all is well.

I restart Vibe.

I login to Vibe, and in my personal workspace I click on the cog wheel for configure this workspace, click on New Folder, add a title which is the same name as the resource driver 1 I created; I select Mirrored Files and then click on OK.

I see the new folder in my workspaces & folders section. I click on the new folder to select it, then click on the cog wheel next to it and choose edit folder. I do not see any options to configure the folder for the resource driver, root path, or resource path relative to root path.
At the bottom of the folder window I see in red
this message: "There are no resource drivers configured for this site. Please see the site administrator to configure the resource drivers for mirrored folders."

If I look in the file installer.xml on the server that holds the resource drivers I see my resource driver in there, it is all correct, enabled and looks fine.

I originally configured this resource driver as a file type, then I said well, grasping at straws, I'll try the other (webdav) even though I don't think it's correct. So went in and reconfigured the resource driver as a webdav type, and that didn't change, the above result is the same. So I set it back to the type "file".

*SIGH*  WTHeck....how do you setup mirrored folders?? Appears no one knows, there's no specific documentation.  I've spent like 3 weeks on this. Now I have management saying WTheck thinking this is a terrible choice I've made. Unfortunately I'm beginning to think the same.  It's very frustrating.  It may be obvious how to do this/what the issue is to those who know this stuff, but if I'm asking it isn't apparent to me.  I've following the documentation and it still does not work.  Seems like it should be pretty simple and straightforward. Call me dumb, but help!

TIA

This does work, and I have done it in the past but it's been quite awhile.  I'll try to document some steps for you, but could take a week or two as I'm on some other projects currently.

A quick note that stood out from your setup notes.  Usually you'd configure it to the network unc path the same way any ncp or cifs client would connect to it, not the local filesystem.

update: here's an old thread that covered this.

/collaboration/vibe/f/vibe/489361/mirror-folder-of-netware-nss-mount

update 2:  alternatively, if you have Filr, I believe you could likely setup Vibe to connect to it through webdav.  May also be able to do this using NetStorage on oes11, but it is an end of life product, don't remember if you noted trying this or not.

Hi RaveNet,

Thanks for the reply, I am getting desperate.  I reviewed the thread and it is a bit old, not sure I I know how to translate to OES11 SP2.  I am not by any stretch a Linux/SLES guru and really need some assistance here. It's just not obvious to me how to do this, just dumb I guess!  lol

I would greatly appreciate any documentation you can provide since the official docs do not spell this step out.  As to the mention of using the network unc path, I though I was doing that--//servername/vol/folder/etc...?
