ASM cannot find the raw devices nor ASM drives
Hi,
We are trying to use ASM on linux. The kernel version is
2.6.9-42.0.10.0.1.ELsmp x86_64.
We tried both raw devices and ASM drives. But after all the tries, the installer simply will not list the disks.
Anybody can help? Thanks.
"I had installed ASM initially on the same CRS, but due to some error during the installation"
This statement means: I had installed ASM on the clusterware, but due to time synchronization error, it didn't got copied on to the 2nd node, and hence I had to uninstall the ASM software.
But the clusterware is still up and running.
Amit.

BIOS-GPT grub cannot find the root device in LVM setup
Greetings Arch Linux Community,
Recently I started my journey of installing Arch Linux on my VMware Workstation.
I successfully installed the non-LVM instance not long before I noticed the advantages of LVM, then I just started a new Arch Linux setup with LVM.
However, after following the Beginners' Guide and LVM Guide carefully, I ran into a problem on boot that I cannot solve by myself due to my poor knowledge on boot/grub.
Here is the error message:
ERROR: device '4b28d500-8ed3-4fe5-ad26-97fbb01f979b' not found. Skipping fsck
ERROR: Unable to find root device '4b28d500-8ed3-4fe5-ad26-97fbb01f979b'
The error message itself is pretty clear; saying that the root device specified by my grub.cfg cannot be found and thus cannot be loaded.
However, I'm 100% sure that the device is actually there and just for some reason grub cannot see it.
Below please see the info from lsblk, pvdisplay, vgdisplay, lvdisplay, and some related info from fstab, grub.cfg and mkinitcpio.conf:

Sorry, im newbie ( dont take my advice seriously ), but im very curious about his, because once i couldnt install grub as well so i went for syslinux instead , and i know i will have one more fresh install of arch to do, so im curious
Hi Efka, I used grub-install and specified "/dev/sda" for argument. What I understand is that the sda is the identifier for the hard disk where all the sdaX reside. And if you look into the output of my lsblk, you will see that there is one partition sda1 that has no filetype, label and UUID on display; that is actually the bios boot partition where, as I understand, the grub code embeds itself.
We can have different partition scheme to deploy and having a separate partition for /boot is just my personal preference ans it should work as well. -
As the integrated hard drive on my iMac is getting too small, I moved all my iPhoto files to an external hard drive.
I made a movie after this change and it worked perfect until I should finish the movie. Here I get the message the the media files are missing.
This is strange as I can watch the movie in the project in the iMovie library.
I cannot finish the move nor share it.
Can somebody help me?
My imovie is version 10.0.3 and I am running Maverick.
Thanks!
SteenCan you give me the info I wasked for in the other thread?

Hi,
How can i move the "RAW device" Migrating to ASM

ASMLIB is not mandatory to use the raw device with ASM. Its an "add-on" to improve the performance, that's all!Not really a performance improvement as it cannot make ASM I/O go any faster - it is a more a management driver that enables you to manage ASM disks/LUNs via an ASM command line interface. But as you said, it is not mandatory. I personally prefer using udev and multipath directly on Linux for configuring and maintaining device names and permissions for all disks and LUNs and not treat ASM ones differently via another interface.
Also, as ASMlib is a kernel module, it is another moving part at boot time. It needs to match the kernel version used. It and other similar kernel drives need to "+play nice+" with one another. And this is the primary reason we've stopped using ASMlib after we first tried it with 10.1 RAC. There were incompatibilities between it and a vendor kernel driver, resulting in adhoc ASM I/O errors. And the Metalink Note at the time stated that there are no incompatibilities between ASMlib and such vendors drivers... (and I did request Support to amend that note after the incompatibility was identified via a SR, but it never was). -
Is database using File system, RAW devices or ASM?
Hi there
Is is possible to find out if the database is using File system, RAW devices or ASM for storage?
I think for ASM, we can tell by querying the V$DATAFILE view if it has ' DATA ' or something like that (a name that has ' ' prefixed to it). Is this the only way? How about other sotrage types (RAW and Filesystem)?

Raw depends on your OS - in *nix, likely something like /dev/sdc1
ASM depends on ASM and will include + and will follow an ASM pattern, such as described http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/clauses004.htm
File depends on OS - in *nix, likely start with a '/' and NOT be in /dev or /proc. In Winders start with C:\ or some other disk path.

Hi,
I am assigning raw devices to ASM on IBM-AIX 5.2. But the devices are not visible in ASM. Please somebody help me how to identify the disks in ASM or from AIX to check whether the disks are accessiable. I am able to ls -lrt and find the disk. but not able to identify the raw disk size
Thanks for your helpIn some OSs raw devices are only visible to root unless the permissions are explicitly reset.
Have you read the appropriate section in the RAC install guide for AIX? (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14201/storage.htm#BABHCGIJ) -

My first time backing up my iPhone 4. I cannot find the iTunes page on my computer that shows File>Device>Backup. I need step-by-step instructions, please!
Hey Jilleemay,
Thanks for the question. You may need to enable the iTunes menus for Windows:
iTunes: Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5610
To do so, press Control-B on your keyboard. You should then see the menubar at the top of iTunes (see image below). You can then access the File menu and backup your device.
Thanks,

I have an iPhone 4S that is locked with a password & cant remember password. when I connect to my computer it says that it cannot find the device driver. How can i fix this?
Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,

Setup cannot find the Geforce4 4200 device
Hello,
I've just bought a Geforce4 4200 128MB MSI card which replaced my old voodoo3 3000 card.
The BIOS seem to be able to communicate with the card as the card name shows when I turn on the computer.
The problem is when I try to run the CD's setup program , it says "cannot find the device in your system".
When I tried to view PCI information in linux , it printed out the following:
"bus 1 , device 0 , function 0
VGA compatible controller: PCI device 10de:0254 (nVidia corporation) (rev 163)
IRQ 11." , and some more infromation regarding memory addresses.
I'm running win95 on Celeron III 600MHz.
Is the above PCI information makes sense? Why cant the windows installation find my device?
Thank you for your responses,
