Add/Remove Raw disk to a Solaris 11 Container

Hi All,
What is the process or commands used to add or remove raw disks to a Solaris 11 containers.
I need to present the raw disks to containers so that Oracle ASM can be used on the containers. I have added the raw disks but not able to delete the extra disk. Can somebody help on this. Thanks in Advance.

I've not tried this with disk (only with tapes and that years ago on Solaris 10) but I think you need something add something like the following to your zone's configuration using zonecfg.
add device
set match=/dev/rdsk/<a pattern which matches the disks you want to import>
end
See the Solaris 11 zonecfg manual page (example 8 applies).
Again - I've not tried this so I can't swear that it will work.

How to add an virtual disk device

I remember i have seen one doc describe how to add an virtual disk device in solaris system, but I forget it now, can somebody help me?

not sure what you are trying to achieve...
However you should not be referring to Luns via their logical device i.e. c0t0d0, but using the unique did device or the /global device. refer to scdidam -L which will list all the did devices across all nodes and map them to the logical device path.

How to create Shared RAW disk on solaris 10?

Hi,
I have built two solaris machine using VMware. I am going to configuare RAC. how to create shared RAW disk for ocr,votedisk and asm?
OS version = 5.10 32 bit
Thanks

use openfiler ( software based SAN) if do not have shared disk storage system, this is an appliance kinda software can behave as SAN storage, it can be installed on VM as a guest machine and rest configuration remain same as storage and your RAC deployment.
http://www.openfiler.com/community/download
alternativly you can follow below method

Create tablespace syntax for raw disk on Solaris

Hi!
I want to create a tablespace over /dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s5
I tried with
svrmgrl>create tablespace rawtb datafile '/dev/rdsk/c1t1d1s5' reuse;
Is this the proper way of creating tablespace over a raw disk?
Can one specify a "filename" to this raw device (w/o a symbolic link creation) for example "rawtb.dbf" ?

hi
u just create a symbolic link using ln command. use that in the create tablespace command.directly u can't do that by specifying the raw device name.

How to remove a disk from a logical-drive in a 3510

Hello SUN masters,
I have a 3510 with 4 logical drives and 2 global spares. Logical drive 0 (ld0) has 14 disks and i want to assign 2 of those as global spares and leave ld0 with 12 drives. the other logical-drives have just 2 HDD so I won't touch them.
Drives are 78 GB and ld0 is supposed to have 476 GB, so space is enough with 12 HDD to have RAID1.
What is the procedure to remove a disk from a logical drive. when i telnet to the 3510 there is no option to remove a disk from a ld, only to add disks to logical-drives.
when i use sccli to access the 3510, i can't see an option in the menu.
Does anyone know the steps?
I copy below the configuration of this 3510.
Thanks a lot,
OM

The only solution you have is:
- Backup the data.
- Remove the LD.
- Recreate the LD with 12 drives.
- Restore the data.
Although you can add physical drives into a LD, you cannot remove them from a LD, unless you go through a backup/restore.

Acrobat 9.2.0 MSP doesn't display in add/remove programs

I installed the Acrobat 9.2 MSP and it shows successful installation but it doesn't show Acrobat 9.2.0 in add/remove programs. It still shows Acrobat 9.0.0. Any reason why this would do this?

Okay, found the solution--I think. Fire up Acrobat, go to Help/Repair Acrobat Installation. After a LONG bit of disk-bashing, the process ends and Acrobat then shows up in the add/remove programs list.
I may just keep the program around a bit longer now, now that I'm not quite as paranoid about it as I was.
Ugh.

Can't Uninstall 9.0 Trial -- doesn't list in add/remove pgms

How to add a virtual disk into a 'guest VM' after VM has been created?

Well, it was easy when one need to add a virtual disk before creating a guest VM. All need to do was to edit the template and click on disk tab and create a virtual disk.
However the challenge comes after created a 'guest VM'. I need to add additional virtual disk into this 'guest VM'.
This is what I did.
Click on Repositories tab --> Under repositories--> Virtual Disks. There is a green "+" sign. Click on it. It says create virtual disk. Follow the instruction, I enter the virtual disk name, size, and select if it is spare or non-spare. Hit ok. Well, everythings seems fine.
Next, I click on the "blue folder" icon which indicated import virtual disk. It asked me about Virtual disk download location.
According to the manual, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-repo.html#vmusg-repo-vdisk
Virtual Disk download location: The URL for the virtual disk file. The URL protocols supported are HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. For example:http://example.com/vdisks/myvdisk.img
How can I determine what is the URL in my case?
Where is the newly created virtual disk located? Isn't it supposed to be in Oracle Server? But it doesn't have a http server running there.
Please help.
Thank you.

Virtual disks can only be added and removed at runtime from a PVM. You don't even need to know anything special. Just create the vdisk and use the VMs settings to occupy another slot with the new vdisk.
But as I said… this works only with PVMs, not HVMs. In case of a HVM, you will need to shut down the VM and add the disk afterwards, then fire it back up.
The little folder with the blue down arrow is for importing an existing vdisk file from a web- or ftp server. If you have already created the vdisk, you won't need that.

I am unable to uninstall 3.0.10 using add/remove nor uninstall. It is taking 31Gb of my hard drive.

Everytime I click "remove" from control panel Mozilla Firefox 3.0.10,it flashes and nothing happens. Tried the Firefox helper.exe in the uninstall folder and it only flashes. Still taking up 31Gb of my hard drive.

It is unlikely to be using 31Gb, sometimes the about of disk space reported by the Windows control panel's add/remove programs dialog is very inaccurate. The Firefox 3 program takes up about 25Mb
You can manually remove Firefox by deleting its files and folders as shown here - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

Keyword add/remove performance

I've been a huge critic of Aperture and with good reason, but once you start using Aperture 1.1 it's hard to go back to iPhoto.
Managing keywords is all messed up but once you figure out how to remove a keyword from a bunch of images, it becomes possible to organize your photos the way you'd like. And the hierarchical keywords are a good idea I think.
But the performance! Ha! It takes about a minute to remove a keyword from 100 photos. Why? I assume it's because for each image it has to write a plist file, usually around 15kB-18Kb in size, and then it fsync's the data. That means the computer stops while the OS writes the data to the disk. There's also a ton of other stuff going on but I don't see those operations stopping and waiting for data to be stored on the disk, so they are probably not slowing things down too much.
I assume this is done to keep the data completely consistent, even in the face of a system or application crash. Nevertheless, it's not really possible to write an application this way and have it perform at all reasonably. There are other ways to guarantee data consistency or at least to enable recovery if the system/app crashes unexpectedly. I'd be happy to make a few suggestions

How to add / remove keybindings from a KeyMap?
Action breakAction = new myAction();
Keymap map = pane.getKeymap();
KeyStroke key = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, 0);
map.removeKeyStrokeBinding(key);
map.addActionForKeyStroke(key, breakAction);
I tried to remove the keybinding of the Enter-key from
a textPane.
The textPane is connected to a HTMLDocument. Everytime
I press Enter, a new paragraph is started. This is
very irritating! I don't want to start a new
paragraph, I just want to go down one line. The
strange thing is: when I remove the Enter key from the
keymap of the textPane, the <p> tag is left out. So no
new paragraph is initiated. But all other textformat
tags like <b> and <i> are closed when the Enter key is
pressed. Once again: this is very irritating!
I don't want to loose the textformat when I press
Enter. I just want to go down one line! Is it
possible?I believe you have to get the attribute set of the text on the current line and reapply the attributes to the newline....I agree, it is irritating, but you get used to it if you use the EditorPanes and EditorKits often.
I will show you how to apply the breakAction in your other post.

Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!

Updated to Mavericks OS X but can't use my external drive by WD My Passport. The Mac reads it but I can't add/remove files to the external drive. Help?!
The WD My Passport, I purchased back in early December 2013 & I just used it the other day after I updated my Macbook... & of course it says in the online manual it works for Mac Lion, Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard but not this new Maverick update. Is there anything I can do?

I like the free demo of SuperDuper to make clones. It's free, Tiger and Leopard ready and is easy to use. If you buy the full version you can do incremental backups.
You should use Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, booted up on your install disk, before you make a clone of it.
I then partition my external disk, in Disk Utility, with a partition that is the same size , actually a tad bigger, as my system disk. I then use SuperDuper to clone my system disk over to that partition.
With a clone on an external FireWire drive (USB drives are not bootable on some Macs) you can bootup on it to do your repairs or just run your Mac anytime you have trouble with your main drive. Be careful, there are a few external FireWire drives out there that are not bootable on Macs. Check the drive's manual to be sure.

Setup Disk Mirroring on Solaris 8

I need to know of how to setup Disk Mirroring on Solaris 8 on my SUN E250/E280
Which manual collection, provide a step by step procedure to do it. Thanks.

I assuming you're going to be using Sun disc management software ( DiskSuite) and not something like Veritas volume manager.
There are some Sun infodocs on the sunsolve site ( sunsolve.sun.co.uk is the one I use ) that contain good step by step guides on how to mirror discs using Solstice Disksuite. Type in "disksuite faq" as keywords to search.
Disksuite 4.2.1 comes with Solaris 8 ( this is the recommended version of DiskSuite you use with 8), but you need to make sure it was included as a package to install when the server was originally built). If it hasn't been installed, put the Solaris 8 cd 2 of 2 and do a package add on the following path /cdrom/sol_8_1000_sparc_2/Solaris_8/EA/Products.
Pick disksuite and I generally add all the packages. You'll need to know the product a bit more if you want to pick and choose the components to install.
Once done, you'll need to reboot the server and then begin to configure the discs. To understand the various concepts with disksuite you will need to read the manuals.
I use the command line but there is a GUI tool supplied with the product called metatool to help you mirror your discs.
As a high level overview this is what you need to do:
Create a minimum of 3 state databases ( on a separate disc slice of about 5 megabytes in size, nothing else should use this slice )
The discs you want to mirror should have the same partition table to keep life simple.
I would create 6 databases, 3 on an individual slice.
Then create your mirror devices which represent the various partitions you want to mirror from the primary disk. Then create your metadevices and attach the first set of mirrors to them.
You need to issue a special command called metaroot to get the system to mount the root filesystem metadevice at boot time.
At this stage I would then make a backup of /etc/vfstab and then edit it to mount your metadevices instead of the normal disc devices.
I would then bounce the server to check it all works and the metadevices get mounted correctly.
Create your second set of mirror devices on the secondary disc and add them to the appropriate metadevice ( using metattach )
If the filesystems are very large it takes a few minutes for the disks to sync up, so don't bounce the server until this process has completed. You can run a check on disk synchronisation by doing metastat | grep sync
Finally I would put the output from the command metastat -p into the /etc/lvm/md.tab file at the very end with some appropriate comments.
This can seem a very onerous task at the beginning but once your clear on steps you need to run, the whole procedure is quite straightforware.

Disk Migration under Solaris Volume Manager.

Hi all,
I need to plan a disk migration.
Actually I have on a V240 2x 36GB disks in RAID 0 under SVM.
But I need to replace the 2 disks with 72GB disks.
How can do that with the shorter downtime?
Thanks in advance for your help.

put the new disks into the machine.
Partition them up so they have partitions the same size as the original partitions.
Create miror metadevices and add the original disks to the mirror.
Reboot so your running of the mirror devices.
Add the new disks into the mirror.
Wait for the mirroring to complete.
remove the original devices from the mirror.
you can then remove the original disks and your done.
downtime about a minute for the reboot.
