Is it possible to extend volumes with DFS without taking any resources offline?

I am running two Windows 2008 R2 servers (hosting DFS) within a VMware 4.1 environment. From the VM side of the house additional space was allocated. My question is: Can I simply expand my volume using the Disk Management's GUI to extend the drive (of course
without interruption of DFS)? I have done this many times, but never when DFS is running on the volume. Thanks.

BobJ-

No, I have not extended the volume. I just want to know if I can extend without taking DFS offline. I did some searching but did not find anything. Thanks for the reply.

Hi,
You mentioned that you cannot extend the volume when DFS is running on the volume. What error message displayed when you extend the volume? Is there any error message in the Event Log?
Please refer to the thread below to check if it helps:

    Why can't i export with OR without taking language into consideration ?
    I'm from Denmark  and I need it just to convert into TXT with OCR with out looking af the language.

    You can't do OCR without knowledge of the language, because a crucial part of OCR is spell checking to test the possible text  extraction. Well, you could try claiming the language is English, but the result may be unhappy.

  • Is it possible to re-register with WINS without restarting?

    We're switching out our WINS servers, and I would like to register my Netware servers with the new servers without restarting CIFS or the server. Is this possible? The servers are also in DNS, so is it a big deal if they aren't registered in WINS for an extended period?

  • Is it possible to replace masters with versions without going through the process of exporting and importing?

    Is it possible to overwrite the master files with the versions without having to go through the entire process of exporting and importing back the images?
    Thnx in advance

    A small refinement if you shoot RAW. Remember, no RAW file can ever be edited or rewritten. Thus, in the old days, the flow was:
    RAW>TIFF/PSD and you ended up with two large files. (This is why some folks used to delete the RAW Masters.)
    With Aperture the flow is something like:
    RAW+Version(s) Only the Version is only 30 KB. (There is, of course, additional overhead of Thumbs and Previews, but, depending on your settings, this is only a fraction of the size of a TIFF or PSD.)
    You question goes right to the heart of the concept of a non-destructive workflow. With Aperture you always preserve your original Master file; the only things that are ever at risk are your edits (called Adjustments). Ironically, this is even more valuable if you shoot JPEG or TIFF as those files could be rewritten.)
    Aperture goes to great lengths to give you the best of both worlds; you always have the Master to revert to and your "edits" take up very little disk space. And you don't have to waste time trying to sync folders of RAW, TIFF, and JPEG. Similarly, you never have to worry about resizing images, changing color spaces, or any number of other things that get locked into an image file when you use a destructive workflow.
    Remember, Aperture will happily Export files in any format you may need. Export 'em, use 'em, delete 'em - your Masters are still safe in Aperture.

  • Edit 1080p with QT7 without losing any quality?

    I suspect and hope this one's a quick Y/N for someone out there ...
    I'm editing my first full HD movie. The footage comes off a Sony DSC-HX9V point & shoot as 1080p at 60fps,  AVCHD format (.MTS), which I re-wrap as .MOV using Media Converter w/uncompressed audio (free download) -- I like to use QT Pro 7 for doing fast pre-edits before importing (or not) into a fancier editor.
    Just want to make trebly sure I'm not losing any quality:
    I set Preferences>Recording to "Device native" which claims it's "best for post processing, Raw and large files." Admittedly this is the first time I've changed that setting as it was always on "Best, H.264" in the past,  because I never paid attention to it (was prob fine for simple 640x480 30fps videos) - is this a correct move?
    Also, before editing I change the view to half size (960x540) so I can see the QT controls and have been saving the edits that way. NOW,  I just noticed that when you do a "get info" on an edit it shows "Dimensions" as half size (960 x 540).
    But, when you look at the Properties of the video in QT7 - and expand it to full sized view - it does indeed show 1920x1080. File size appears to be same -
    the .MTS file is say, 51.2 Mb, and the converted .MOV file is also 51.1 Mb. Clicking on Movie Inspector on both shows data as 48.76 mb, whatever that discrepancy means.
    Thank you for your smarts!

    Muchas gracias ...
    Moving along a bit (really poor internet connection here in Peru, forgive me)...
    - Well, I think I've answered my own concern ... Editing a file with QT Pro seems to reduce it to 24 fps or there abouts. i.e. Media Converter made the .MTS file into a .MOV with no apparent reduction in filesize, and Movie Properties shows the .MOV file  to be 60 fps - as long as I don't touch it with QTPro.  Correct?
    I wasn't planning to use iMovie to make the big edit, but progress to something a little more advanced, i.e. FCPX.
    1. Will FCPX retain the the 60fps advantage? If not, what about Adobe Premiere? I'll even consider buying a PC (shock horror) dedicated to editing if it comes down to it.
    2. Again, since I trashed the directory structure that comes of the camera for the first 9 days of shooting, can I get by without it without loss of quality?
    Appreciate your help as always!

  • Is it possible to reinstall OSX 10.5 without loosing any application that is already installed?

    Hi,
        So I have endnote, office installed on my macbook. And it is out of space (6 GB left out of 120 GB). And I can not locate where the space is eaten up. I want to reinstall the OSX without loosing the data and get the space back. Is there any way of doing this? Thank you.

    It IS possible by doing an Archive and Install http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
    BUT be aware that archive and install takes up the most space of any installation of OS X because it saves room for a previous system folder. The 6GB you have free is probably not even big enough to do archive and install. Neil is right find out what's taking up that space and then get rid of or move some files off to external storage.

  • Is it possible to extend the range of one airport express with a second airport express?

    Hi,
    We have a Time Warner router and have it hardwired to an Airport Express. Is it possible to extend the range of that one airport express with a second airport express?

    ... The new AirPort Express that I have is an 802.11n version, but the second one is an older model and I don't know which version it might be. Also, the system recently updated so I'm using the AirPort Utility 6.1.
    If you are using Mountain Lion, AirPort Utility 6.1 is the version installed by default. It will not be able to administer "older" AirPort base stations.
    For them, use AirPort Utility 5.6 which contains the features you need. It can administer your older Express as well as current production base stations.
    AU 5.6 is compatible with Lion as well as Mountain Lion, however, the installer app will refuse to install it on Mountain Lion.
    This dilemma is easily solved though. You simply need to extract the app from the installer package using a package extractor like Pacifist.
    Download Pacifist here: http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    If you happen to have an archived copy of the AU 5.6 app somewhere, such as a Time Machine backup or equivalent, you can simply restore it or drag the app to your Mountain Lion system's Utilities folder. It will run without complaint. It is only the package installer that is the problem.
    Mountain Lion will not allow you to delete its existing version of AirPort Utility. Just ignore it. It and the older version (which will bear the unique name "AirPort Utility 5.6") can peacefully coexist.
    Note: For those with Leopard or Snow Leopard systems you need AirPort Utility 5.6.1 (this is confusing - a later AirPort Utility version for an earlier OS X version - but it is correct).
    Download AirPort Utility 5.6.1 here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1536

  • Can't copy files from NTFS volume with Read Only permissions?

    I am trying to copy files from an NTFS volume used previously for Windows onto another volume which is Mac OS X Extended...
    However, certain files fail to copy due to the fact that I 'don't have permission to access some of the items'...
    So I found the items which are causing the issue and viewed the permissions for them which display as 'You can only read'... I presume I am correct taking these as read-only permissions which (to my knowledge) should allow the files/folders to be copied accross to a new volume assuming that the existing volume is left without any changes attempted.
    So can anyone suggest to me why this is? And how I might rectify the issue?
    Thanks in advance

    Ok I've just worked out that 'You can only read' is referring to the fact that I can only view permissions but not add any. Below this statement, no permissions are listed which may explain why I cannot access the files but does not explain why I can copy/access some files, also with no permissions...

  • Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive?

    Has anyone tried to extend Spatial with a 3D primitive that for example can model buildings and tunnels? I am trying to add the polyhedron primitive next to the existing point, line, polygon model. I just want to hear some tips or ideas...

    The plan is to make a new GType and new stored functions that recognize this GType.
    A polyhedron could be of type 3008,3D and 8=polyhedron(=new). The elem_info
    and ordinates contain multiple planes. Self-created stored functions would be
    able to recognize this GType, e.g. area3D should give the sum of the areas of all the
    faces of the polyhedron and should also work on Gtype=3003 and give the real area
    of a 3D polygon instead of the projection.I wouldn't suggest this methodology if you are considering using any spatial indexing or
    functions with your data.
    There is a mechanism Oracle Spatial has for defining custom datatypes. It should only
    be used with custom apps, i.e. it won't be usable in the context of applications that know
    about Oracle Spatial data types.
    The mechanism allows you to define you own element using an element type of 0, and using
    the interpretation to define what you are looking at. You would also include an a supported
    element type that approximates your geometry, and that element is the one that is indexed,
    and the gtype entered is associated with that geometry. Your private functions could access
    the 3d geometry when required. For instance, you want to have a 3d cube. It might look like this:
    sdo_gtype=3002
    sdo_elem_info=(1,2,1, 7,0,1, 22,0,2 etc.
    sdo_ordinates=(0,0,0,2,2,2, 0,0,0,2,0,0,2,2,0,0,2,0,0,0,0, 2,0,0,2,0,2,2,2,2,2,2,0,2,0,0, etc
    the 1,2,1 in the elem info array corresponds to a 3d line string that when indexed with a minimum bounding
    volume encloses the 3d cube. The 0,0,0 and 2,2,2 in the ordinate array stored as the line string when indexed
    include the bounds of the cube. Next in the elem info array are 7,0,1. The 7 means offst 7 in the ordinate array
    and in this example is fixed. Next the 0 tells Oracle Spatial to ignore this element. The interpretation of 1 you define,
    the number could be anything. Since it is my example, I'll say the 1 means this is the definition of the first face in the
    x,y plane (i.e. the front face of the cube which faces me). I've set the ordinate array with the coordinates of that face.
    Next in elem info comes 22,0,2 which is starting at offset 22 there is another element that Oracle spatial should ignore
    (element type 0), and next comes 2, which might mean this is the second face definition, that I've defined as the right
    hand side y,z plane.
    etc.
    The meaning of the interpretation value is only limited by your imagination.
    Note while you can index three dimensions if you want, the only spatial functionality that supports 3d is a spatial
    index and a filter query, and some lrs functions. You will not be able to run any operator except for SDO_FILTER if you
    have a 3d index, and all spatial functions will only work on 2d.
    Do not define your own gtype and expect to use spatial. it will not work.

  • Is it possible to extend jdeveloper in this way?

    I'm wondering if its possible to extend jdeveloper's source editor, in jdeveloper. For instance if I have a custom file I want to have syntax highlighting (with my own syntax) and I want to add another tab to the file for a different view of the file. I'm talking about the tabs for the source window, like "Source | Design | History"
    Can anyone point me in the right direction for accomplishing and if its possible.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! The answer looks like YES it can be done, however I'm having trouble finding the actual full code samples for "CustomEditor" help file says goto the webpage, and the webpage just lists that the samples exist, but cant find where they are.

  • Problem with DFS when enumerating large folders

    Hi,
    In our organization we have DFS in place. We don't use DFS-r replication. The DFS roots are hosted on 3 2012R2 domain controllers and we have 2 domain based namespaces (windows 2000 mode). We have a lot of issues when users/applications/servers are trying
    to open folders with lots of files in them (typically 10000+). When this happens DFS hangs organization wide. This causes a lot of problems for back-end applications which are constantly moving around files to different front-end systems. Most of them
    get exceptions resulting in a manual restart. Since our organization is running 24/24, 7/7, this is very ennoying. Especially for engineers who have to get up at night to restart those services.
    All user folders/mapped network disks are using DFS to access the file server. We have more then 2000 employees accessing a DFS namespace. At the time the issue occurs, they also experience problems accessing their data. 
    When the issues occur, we have no problems accessing the targets themselves, so we can exclude file server issues. We use a third party appliance as DNS server, but this also works as should at the time the issue occurs. The only way to resolve our issue
    that we have found so far is to clean out those folders, or when that's not possible, exlude them from the DFS namespace.
    We thought upgrading our DC's from 2003 to 2012R2 would resolve the issue but that didn't do it. Is this a known issue and is there another workaround/fix? Also, is there a way to find out which target caused
    DFS to hang? We have already done a lot of troubleshooting with articles we found on the net but nothing seems to be wrong with our DFS setup/AD/DNS. We also opened serveral cases with MSFT but after the network trace analysis they always conclude there's
    nothing wrong.
    Thanks in advance! 

    Hi,
    Distributed File System (DFS) currently has a size recommendation of 5000 folders with a target in a domain-based namespace. It belongs to Windows Server 2000 DFSN and not to Windows Server 2008. You could create a domain namespace in “Windows Server 2008 mode”
    to create more than 5000 folder. 
    When the number of links exceeds the recommended limit, you might experience performance degradation when making changes to the DFS configuration.
    To reduce this problem, you could add more DFS Namespace server to spread the request to more servers. 
    For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

  • "Next" button grayed out in Extend Volume Wizard

    Greetings,
    I'm kind of stumped, I've never seen this before.  I've seen where the "Extend Volume" option is grayed out, but never have I seen where you can get into the Wizard, but not continue.
    Here is a screenshot:
    Any information would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Have you tried diskpart from command line?  I've seen cases where the GUI has issues but diskpart goes right through.
    I presume there's no volume between this & the free space or - just like you said - the entire option would have been greyed out to begin with. 

Maybe you are looking for
