All Windows VM - Virtual Disk Service start/stop every minute

Dear all
I recently discovered that all my Windows VM's (2003/2008/2008R2) start and stop the virtual disk service:
System Log File:
08:37:27 Virtual Disk Service --> Service started
08:37:27 Service Control Manager --> The Virtual Disk service entered the running state.
08:37:28 Virtual Disk Service --> Service stopped
08:37:28 Service Control Manager --> The Virtual Disk service entered the stopped state.
and i have this entry every minute.
I removed the DVD Drive from the VM but no change. What could be the reason for this? All my physical servers with the same backup program haven't this behavior.
Thanks for any hint

Just as a follow up:
Dell know that problem and it will be "fixed" in Version 4.7.
"In releases of the Host Integration Tools previous to V4.6, Auto Snapshot Manager would query the entire system state every time a refresh was performed. In Host
Integration Tools V4.6 Auto Snapshot Manager will query the entire system state only during the initial load. After that ASM uses event notifications to keep itself up to date refreshing only these changed items. However event notifications
aren’t enough, to pick up some application changes Engineering implemented a polling mechanism. The Virtual Disk Service events are a side effect of that polling and are normal and expected.
However while these messages are entirely benign, Engineering understands these message could be a concern as they do fill up the event log and drown out important
events. Changes have been added to the V4.7 release of Auto Snapshot Manager giving the user the ability to control how often these refreshes occur along with the option of disabling automatic refreshes and using just a manual refresh button in the GUI."

Service start/stop

I am trying out service start/stop between different JVMs but am not seeing what I expected. I have attached a quickly written test program to try out a scenario.
1. Run the attached program (java Test -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=servicetest.xml) in 2 JVMs. Let's call them JVM1 and JVM2.
2. At the JVM1 command prompt, type: startservice
3. At the JVM1 command prompt, type: startcache
4. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "i" six times. This should insert 6 items into the cache.
5. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "c". Following is what is displayed:
key=4, value=4
key=3, value=3
key=2, value=2
key=1, value=1
key=5, value=5
key=6, value=6
6. At the JVM2 command prompt, type: startservice
7. At the JVM2 command prompt, type: startcache
8. At the JVM2 command prompt, type "c". The six cache items are displayed.
9. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "stopservice". The expectation is that the service on JVM1 is stopped and the cache items on JVM1 are transferred to JVM2.
10. At the JVM2 command prompt, type "c". The following is displayed:
key=4, value=4
key=3, value=3
key=1, value=1
key=6, value=6
Cache items 2 and 5 have disappeared. Why?
Thanks

Following is javadoc for the Controllable.shutdown( ) method:
Stop the controllable service. This is a controlled shut-down, and is preferred to the stop() method.
This method should only be called once per the life cycle of the controllable service. Calling this method for a service that has already stopped has no effect.
I might need to expand and shrink the horizontal span of the cache multiple times without having to shutdown the JVM, which means I might need to shutdown the service multiple times, but the javadoc says I can't call shutdown more than once. Is there a different way to perform an orderly service stop?
Thanks

any idea what might went wrong.
trying to use sdbverify -repair_permissions , but not sure about the exact syntax to use.
and it is not related to timeout parameter, we tested with different timeout values, but still the same error.

Hello Kishore,
you could check the sizing of the liveCache data.
* Report /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG_SNP has checks of the SNP planning areas for superfluous objects.
* Delete old/temporary APO data.
* /SAPAPO/TS_LCM_REORG report checked TS superfluous objects.
If you didn't create the planning versions, copy of planning versions & data load to liveCache, then create the SAP message to check your system on the question of the dataarea usage.
If you have the long running APO transactions => performance of the SCM system has to be checked.
If you have the bottleneck in liveCache & could not solve the case by yourself => create the SAP message to BC-DB-LVC and get SAP support.
Best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Service start stop scripts and Nagios scripts

Hello. Are there some "official" service start stop scripts somewhere? And: Has somebody already written a Nagios monitoring script for Oracle NoSQL? Thanks, Jesus.

Hi. Yes, but I mean something like service kvclient start / stop / restart / status, and using e.g. daemon without nohup. Of course one can be written, e.g. I have a simple one based on a script I found in internet long time ago for Cassandra, but then by Murphy's Law you will probably have an "official" one in the .124 version : - ).

How to call external processes before & after WL services start/stop

I set up WL Admin Server and Managed Server to run as Windows services.
I have the code to retire/re-activate in an ANT script and right now, I execute it via the command line.
Here's my question
I want to retire a SOA composite BEFORE my Managed Server Windows service stops and re-activate it AFTER the Window service starts up.
Do you know how to do that? Or if you have other suggestions, please let me know
Thanks
I'm using 11.1.1.2

I want to retire a SOA composite BEFORE my Managed Server Windows service stops and re-activate it AFTER the Window service starts up.
This means you need to check for the ManagedServer is in RUNNING state right?
in WLST you can get State of a given Managed Server with getState() method. write a WLST invoke method in ANT and try.

HP OM : OVepmessageactionserver service gets stopped every time we try to restart it

Hi,
We have OMW ver 9.00.00231 installed in windows 2k8 server. I got an error while I was working with LogFile monitoring policy. I am attaching the error below:
"Faulting application OvEpMsgActSrv.exe, version 6.0.94.34, time stamp 0x50f6e141, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18881, time stamp 0x51da3d16, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0000000000048f12, process id 0xcf8, application start time 0x01cf8f98fe24a8c1."
I restarted the system since I had the error saying that the management server was unable to forward the messages as email, since then I am unable to login to the console. The ovepmessagesActionServer service
and the OvepstatusEngine service starts and stops immediately.
FYI, I have done the below activites to make the server up (seeing similar forums):
1) When I restarted the server there was windows updates happening which I removed later on all the patches that were updated during the restart.
2) We didn't install any hotfix on the management server since last year and this issue we are facing for the very first time, even doing nothing on the server
3) I have executed the below steps too:
vpstat -3 -r stop
net stop winmgmt
vpstat -3 -r start
vpstat -3
vpstat -p
4) As given in a forum, in the sql database (openview) I have executed the below query:
select count (*) from ov_ms_keyrelationcache where messageid not in (select
id from ov_ms_message);
if it's value is more than 0 ,delete is using :-
delete from ov_ms_keyrelationcache where messageid not in (select id from
ov_ms_message);
5) Also executed,
- truncate table OV_MS_Message
- truncate table OV_MS_Annotation
- truncate table OV_MS_KeyRelationCache
But of no use till now, expecting your help asap..

Time capsule hard drive starts/stops every 5 min: problem?

Every five minutes, whether or not a time machine backup is due, my 1 TB time capsule hard drive starts, spools up, then stops (I used a stopwatch to time the interval). Is this a problem? Never happened when unit was new (late 2010), or before Lion.

Yes, it is a problem..
Firstly check the log if there is a lot of instances of AFP getting logged in and off again.
Try disconnecting everything that is ethernet connected to the TC.. does it still happen.. if yes, turn off all the wireless stuff and see if it still happens.
If it still happens disconnect the wan.
There simply may not be anything you can do about it.. Lion has altered the setting for spotlight to analyse the drive.. but the new firmware also seems to make it worse. Not sure if you can stop it or not.. but it will cause issues over time.. in fact it would be better if the hard disk never spun down than to do it on 5min interval especially if the disk is also parking the heads.
How desperately do you want to pursue the problem??
I would suggest wiping the current setup. And even erase the drive after copying anything you need off it. So you get it back to scratch. You can ring applecare if it is still under warranty. I am not sure they will treat it seriously.

Creating a Business Service for Start/Stop Application Service in CCB 2.3.1

Hi,
I'm in the process of creating a BPA script that invokes a Business Service to perform a Start/Stop for a given Account ID/Premise ID combination. The Business Service is using the base Application Service: Start Stop (CILCSSEP). I am moving the Account ID and Premise ID, along with the start date and requested by fields to the data area of the Business Service, prior to invoking it. When I invoke the Business Service via the BPA script, it throws the below error message... I'm at a loss because the BILL_ADDR_SRCE_FLG is being set to a default of "PREM" on the Business Service Schema:
A Bill Address Source is required on the address override record. Please enter a valid value.
One of these two is true:
1) The Bill Route Type on this record has a Bill Routing Method of 'Postall', or
2) The main customer on the Account has a Quote Route Type with a Quote Routing Method of 'Postal'.
In either case, the Bill Address Source must be populated with a valid value.
If you need support please supply the following info to system support:

Hi,
Can you try and do this transaction online and see if the error occurs as well? If so run it with traces on and check for the details just before the error is thrown. ( you can also switch on debug via the service call, but it may be easier to debug when doing this online. ) I am predicting this error will occur also when you do it online.
When you are using an Account with its main Person set up with BILL_ADDR_SRC_FLG as PREM you will need a valide PREM_ID on the CI_ACCT record for MAILING_PREM_ID and the premise needs to have a switch set to YES indicating it is a Mailing Address type Premise.
Good luck

Worth it? Auto start/stop services and change iptables rules

I have recently set up a crontab to start/stop services based on my schedule, such as when I'll be home or away. I intend to only have a service running when I'll probably use it.
I also integrated rules for iptables into the start/stop of the services (systemd), so they automatically modify rules to accept/reject on their ports when the services start/stop.
I am behind a router, so I only forward outside ports I use like ssh (which is not on port 22). I manually forward ports, but am looking at UPnP. This is my home network so I should be able to trust the devices on it.
Now, to my question. Is it worth the time and effort to set this up? Would it be fine to just enable the services I use, let them run and always have firewall ports open for them? I feel like it's good to limit the time that ssh is running, but what about services not open to the Internet? Resources aren't really an issue. What do you guys think?
I enjoyed learning about systemd, iptables, and cron in the process of setting it up. I'd just like to also learn about how much benefit there actually is, or if anyone has other ideas. Or if it's something that could go on the wiki (not really cron, but maybe the iptables/systemd stuff).

I'd say, if resources aren't an issue; why limit the time ssh is reachable from the outside? You should have PasswordAuthentication and RootLogin disabled anyway so your vulnerability doesn't really decrease by updating iptables? This script probably works fine until you forget about it and it makes a boo-boo; making your machine unreachable.

Disk Manager/Virtual Disk Manager Problem

I have an apparently working NAS drive that I can see, read. write to, and whatever as normal.
However backup/restore software cannot find the drive while Disk Manager shows it as "unknown" and "Not initialised" and Virtual Disk Manager reports it as "The Device is not Ready!"
Obviously with Virtual Disk Manager not finding it I cannot initiate it.
As I need to access the drive with a backup and restore prog does anyone know where I can go from here?

Hi,
Did you run Windows in a VM?
Please start virtual disk service and set its startup type as "Automatically".
Afterward, re-connect the drive into the computer for test. Remember to right click the disk and click to initialize disk.
If the issue still persists, please upload the disk management snapshot as below:

Creating a Windows 7 installation disk for S12-ION (and similar)...

In a recent (now dissapeard) thread the subject of creating a backup Windows 7 Installation disk that will work with the Win7 Home Premuim OA key on the sticker on the bottom of S12-IONs.
Unfortunately that thread got stomped on because it strayed off path.
So, I've started this thread to discuss the afore mentioned subject and request that we do not discuss anything outside that that we are legally allowed to do (and I suggest it might be sensible to avoid making any kind of comment that could be deemed to be outside the acceptable usage policy for these forums).
OK, so, does anyone have any further information on this process?
I know we need to start with a (legally obtained) Win7 install disk.
This can then be altered to operate as any given (or optionally all) version of Windows 7 install disk.
However, does the disk that one alters need to be a specific version?
My guess would be that a Windows 7 Ultimate disk is most likely to work, but I suspect all Windows 7 install disks are essentially identical, bar a configuration that one needs to modify.
Now, one could also, at this point, 'slip-stream' the disk to contain specific drivers, or required other software, for the target hardware (in my case, an S12-ION).
Would this be necessary?
What S12-ION drivers/software need to/can be slipstreamed in this way?
I'm sure there are other questions too...
Anyway, I plan to do some research, and will post what I find, but if anyone else knows anything about either of these processes, please feel free to contribute...
Scott

'Sweet', as I believe 'the kids' say these days.
Though, I'm still going to look into slipstreaming stuff into a disk - essentially I want what I wish Lenovo provided - one disk with all the base-level drivers and Lenovo management software pre-installed - so I can manage my HDD my way.
@omgmog: it's exactly those *ways* (or, rather, those that are legal) that this thread is here to discuss...
Now, an update on my research: I need to stand corrected on one point - Microsoft haven't made it all that easy...
But, unless Lenovo come up with, I dunno, maybe an iso I can just download and burn to disk, I'm going to keep going and see if I can figure out what the best, most hassle free, way of achieving our legal right is.
