Bringing up partitions on VMS

Does anyone know how I can improve the performance of starting partitions
on Open VMS? I am testing an application which has 5 partitions and it
takes a very long time for them to start. The environment manager and
repository manager are on the same machine.

ecarmody?
1. What load is on the machine when you try and start the partitions? It may
just be an overly busy machine.
2. What are these partitions up to during startup? Do you have lots of
object creation, DB session connections and perhaps data caching happening
on the init? This would certainly slow the startup down a lot - but may be
good for response time for even the first user as all the ground work is
done before the first person even logs in!
3. Make sure the account that's used has high enough quotas to not spent all
it's time paging in and out! More important when you start using the app
rather than on startup.
4. If there are developers integrating/updating/building and even running in
debug or from running man they will all reduce the response time of your
Forte environment.

Dirk

  • Dynamic partitioned Hard Driver cannot be accessed when connected by USB 3.0 Enclosure

    Hi Guys,
    Here is my issue.
    There is a 2TB SATA Hard Drive, formatted to NTFS with 64KB chunk size blocks. The partition type is dynamic. 
    I removed the drive from a system and brought it to another location. 
    This time is is connected via USB 3.0 enclosure, which I know it works and it was tried with different hard drives with no issue.
    The Windows is 8.1. It sees the disk but cannot Reactivate it. It shows the reactivate option, but when you select it you see a message:
    Virtual Disk Manager
    This operation is not allowed on the invalid disk pack. 
    OK   
    I understand that USB dynamic disks might not be supported, but the scenario above is valid.
    My question is how to bring the partition online using USB enclosure? 
    Is there a registry workaround or other which involves no data loss? 
    It is very pity not to allow using USB 3.0 when you have a dynamic partition. I do not see any physical limitations to do so.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    As I known, whether the USB enclosure can identify the dynamic hard drive, it depends on the USB driver and USB specification.
    But to make your computer recognize this hard drive well, we have the workaround to change it to basic disk type:

    I have been installed Oracle 11g R2 in Suse Linux 10 (64 bit), while in installation i deselect the Partition option. Now i need to bring the Oracle Partition option to my Oracle RDBMS.
    Please help me how to bring the Partition Option once again into my Oracle Server.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Thanks.

  • OVM Hard & Soft Partitioning and Pool Design?

    Greetings,
    We are designing an Oracle VM environment with extensive use of both hard and soft partitioning. We realize that hard partitioning is not supported with Live Migration, Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) or Distributed Power Management (DPM). We would like to know if we need to use pools to isolate the hard and soft partitioned VMs, because Distributed Resource Scheduler is a requirement for all of the none hard and soft partitioned workloads / VMs.
    Could you please confirm if a single pool with DRS will work with the addition of storage repositories to restrict VMs to a host (hard partitioning) or a subset of hosts (soft partitioning) by provisioning and presenting a storage repository to a host (hard partitioning) or hosts (soft partitioning) with the hard or soft partitioned vm.cfg files.
    1- Will the able storage repository design break DRS, is it supported?
    2- DRS is a requirement for the general VM population. Must we isolate the hard and soft partitioned VMs using pools to be able to use DRS for the general VM population
    Thank you for your support!

  • Moving partitions

    Hi guys.
    Based on a new request, i need to create a script to backup and delete old data from our huge and many tables, which are growing a lot every day.
    Backups to tapes will be done by db admins, so my sript should just move old partitions. I was thinking about to create extra tablespace where i will be moving those old partitions and data from this tablespace will be put on tapes and deleted later on. All tables are partitioned by time.
    Could you please advise me how should i do so ? What is the best way to move huge partitions to diff. tablespace. Script will be run one per day
    Thanks a lot

    No reply, so i guess there is no better way in ora10 for moving partitions between two partitioned tables ?
    I still need to move it from source part. table to a non-part. table, and from there to the final part. tableYou need to understand that this two-way operation is not expensive if you simply want to bring a partition from one partitioned table to another one which is having the same partition boundary definitions. You're simply performing two exchange partition operations (partition<->unpartitioned, unpartitioned<->partitioned) which optimally can be pure data dictionary updates (there are exceptions to this rule if you e.g. have enabled unique constraints then the validation can not be skipped (WITHOUT VALIDATION clause)) and don't involve any actual data movement.
    The expensive part in your particular case is the actual data movement to a different tablespace. The question is do you need to move the segments to a separate tablespace? Probably yes if you want to use a backup method based on binary copies of datafiles and tablespaces like RMAN. A logical export of the tables e.g. using datapump could be restricted to tables and/or partitions so you wouldn't need to perform an actual data movement.

  • [SOLVED] NTFS partition unmounted after suspend to ram

    I recently did a from-scratch installation after I bought an SSD to replace of my old harddrive. Since this fresh install I have been having a problem with an NTFS partition that is mounted by way of fstab (it's not _the_ windows partition just a bit of shared space on a dual-boot setup): Whenever I suspend the computer and bring it back up, the NTFS partition is invariably unmounted.
    The mount point is empty and the mount command makes no mention of the mount. A simple "sudo mount /mnt/SAND" will bring the partition back up again although sometimes it needs to be umounted first (the mount point is still empty despite the 'mount'). Here is the fstab line:
    /dev/sda3 /mnt/SAND ntfs-3g defaults,noatime,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
    Testing and screwing around I've noticed that if the WINDOWS partition is mounted using nautilus (as it is not mentioned in fstab) that too will be unmounted while a non-root ext4 partition (UBUNTU) is not.
    So my hypothesis is that these NTFS partitions are singled out for unmounting when suspending (but apparently not mounting when reawakening?) -- maybe because they are assumed to be external drives? Given that it happens across mounting solutions (fstab/nautilus) I'm inclined to think it's not a bug?
    At any rate I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to stop the unmounting when suspending -- ideally for all internal drives, secondarily for these specific partitions. I have checked the suspend to ram article on the wiki but it doesn't seem to mention anything about unmounting...
    EDIT: After the Great Big Arch Switch To Systemd this problem no longers occurs on so I'm closing it. Not necessarily much of a solution to anyone who happens on this from google, sorry.

    Hi all,
    It seems that most freezes are gone with:
    - 270.29 beta driver
    - MTRR enabled by appending enable_mtrr_cleanup mtrr_spare_reg_nr=1 to the list of kernel options (see http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpos … tcount=39)
    I didn't investigate further to  know if both the driver and the MTRR trick are required.
    Thanks a lot,

  • Partitioning RAID Master

    Oops. Accidentally posted this in the wrong category. Now, I hope it is in the right one...
    When I was on OS X 10.3.x server, I was able to mirror my 2 250g HDs and partition the RAID master. It seems I am unable to do that with 10.4.3.
    I can partition each drives with the exact same partition table. Then, I try to mirror the partition. I can do that with 1 partition. When I try the second partition, it fails.
    They are partitioned thusly:

    This isn't a solution to your partitioning problem...
    But perhaps you should consider using Disk Quotas.
    It's a lot more flexible than having partitions, you can make adjustments as needed where you can't do that with pre-set partition sizes.

  • Installing Arch64 using VirtualBox?

    Hey,
    I wanna install Arch64 on a raw disk on my Core 2 Duo computer, using VirtualBox (I am currently using Arch i686).
    There is a wiki article describing how to do so:http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installing_Arch_Linux_from_VirtualBox
    Question is whether I can install Arch64 using an Arch i686 host (with VirtualBox)?
    Thanks
    fiod

    You can run a 64 bit guest on a 32 bit OS. Check the below link for full details.

    As far as I know using physical disk partitions for VMs is possible but not supported.

  • Solved: I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing" enabled.

    Hello,
    Issue:
    On a Virtual Machine with a secondary VHDX attached, I cannot manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, or write to) the VHDX hard drive once it has "Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing (VHD Sharing)" enabled.
    Questions:
    Should I be able to manage (bring online, initialize, partition, format, and write to) a VHDX hard drive once it has VHD Sharing enabled? If I should be able to manage it, what am I missing?
    Topography:
    One SuperMicro Cluster In a Box (CIB) with 2012 R2 Data Center on each node. Microsoft Failover Cluster installed and working on each node. The Failover Cluster Servers on each host passes all cluster validation tests. Two Hyper-V 2012 R2 Data Center Virtual
    Machine (VM) servers, one on each node. 1 common Cluster Shared Volume (CSV) and 1 Generation 2 Scale-Out File Server (SOFS) shared volume both Resilient File System (REFS) formatted. One 5 Gigabit (Gb) Virtual Hard Drive Type X (VHDX) file on the CSV and/or
    SOFS. Integrity bit and read only turned off on VHDX file.
    Each of the two Hyper-V VMs have one 127Gb VHDX Generation 2 primary hard drive and 1 VHDX secondary hard drive attached, both on SCSI Controller #1.
    Background:
    If I start VM1 without the VHD Sharing enabled on the secondary hard drive, I can bring the drive online, initialize, partition, format, and write to the drive.
    If I enable VHD Sharing, I can no longer modify the drive in Disk Management in any way. With or without VM2 running.
    Both VMs and the CSV and SOFS are on the same host cluster server, or not, no difference…
    The VHDX is referenced either by the CSV name C:\ClusterStorage\Volume1\TEST1.VHDX
     or a Shared Folder name
    \\sharedfolder\folder\Test1.VHDX .
    If I start VM1 with VHD Sharing disabled and I format the drive, then shut down and enable VHD Sharing, the drive is offline and requests initialization which fails with an "I/O device error", every other attempt to manage the drive fails with
    the same "I/O device error", error.

    Hi All,
    I had to buy a Willy Wonka bar and spend a golden ticket to get an answer to this one.
    We found that the default LogicalSectorSizeBytes of a VHDX is 512b. It needs to be 4kb.
    The Host drive doesn't seem to matter CSV or SOFS. Below is a way to create a VHDX with the correct LogicalSectorSizeBytes.
    In Power Shell, type --> New-VHD -Path C:\ClusterStorage\Volume4\Cluster2DataDisks\Cluster2Disk1.vhdx -SizeBytes 200Gb -PhysicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb -LogicalSectorSizeBytes 4kb
    Attach the resulting file to your guest cluster servers and set the Enable Virtual Hard Disk Sharing option on both server. You should now be able to bring the drives on-line and initialize them. They will also add to the guest cluster pool.
    Change the size, path and file name above to fit your Cluster Servers configuration.
    Thank You 
    Sachin Kumar Support Engineer | Windows Server Setup Team | Microsoft Enterprise Platform for finding the answer to this one.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Format external drive partition under 10.2.8

    Hello. I have been trying to setup a WD My Book 500gb with 2 partitions to be used as on offsite backup unit for our business computers. We have one Mac (this G5), and 4 Windows stations (3 XP/ 1 98SE). I am trying to setup this unit with one partition using NTFS and the other with Mac HFS or HFS+ file systems. I have found a utility that allows me to format the partition that I intend to use with the Mac as a FAT32 partition. I then tried bringing the WD MyBook to the G5 and reformatting that partition as HFS. When I run Disk Utility, I click on the partition showing as Fat32 under disk2 and then click on the Erase tab, select Mac OS X Extended file system, no OS9 drivers, have tried various names (Mac BU, My Mac BU, My MacBook, etc), then click Erase, Confirm Erase. The progress bar comes up for a moment or so, says that it is erasing the volume, then exits out as if done. Unfortunately, it never mounts the drive and the volume no longer shows up in Disk Utility (only shows the Drive without any recognized partitions) until I close and restart Disk Utility. When I restart Disk Utility, the volume I am trying to format once again shows up under the drive, tho now with no name. Under Identification, it says Mount Point: Not Mounted/ Format: MS-DOS/ Capacity: 116.44gb. After doing some browsing around onthe internet trying to troubleshoot this on my own, I found some reference to Disk Utility logs (supposedly avail in upper right corner, tho didn't find there). I searched in the Library/Logs/Crash Reporter and found 'Disk Utility.crash.log' which says:
    Date/Time: 2008-09-17 21:25:42 -0400
    OS Version: 10.2.8 (Build 6S90)
    Host: Joanns-Computer.local.
    Command: Disk Utility
    PID: 540
    Exception: EXCBADACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE (0x0002) at 0x01215088
    Any suggestions on how I might get this partition formatted for a Mac file system? I would use Fat32, but I plan to use RSyncX to backup this G5 and would like to make the backup bootable in case of critical failure. And since I am using this drive as a backup storage device rather than file sharing system, I have no need to access files on either partition from the opposite operating system.
    Thanks in advance for any help that can be rendered. Also, if more info or more of the log file is needed to diagnose, please let me know.
    PS: Sorry if this is in wrong forum. Wasn't sure if this falls under Setup, Customizing or something else.

    You can either format the drive entirely FAT32 that can be used on both Windows and Mac or you can format the drive entirely for the Mac, but you cannot have one partition of each on the same drive (not with Jaguar. You would need Leopard to accomplish that and an Intel Mac.)
    There is this article/hint explaining a method for doing so, but I do not know if it is doable with Jaguar. Maybe Panther since the hint appeared about the time Panther was released.

  • How do i get win 8.1. *pro* for mac parallels, deauthorizing win 8.1 pro and license rules for windows vms

    i keep seeing a link for windows 8 or windows 8.1 where windows PRO is NEVER mentioned.  i ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE a) PRO 64 bit and NOT vanilla windows and b) it MUST BE A FULL INSTALL (i'm not upgrading from windows 7, 8 or 8.1 NON pro..  i'm going
    to be installing this thing on a brand new system.
    i'm an IT guy for two decades and i can tell you trying to find, download, install a clean version of windows 8.1 PRO is a royal pita and nothing about windows 8.1 PRO is intuitive on the MS site.  it's almost as if they do NOT want you to install the
    thing.   i'm not trying to bust jewels here, i'm just being honest and providing feedback that you folks need to make this much more clear and intuitive.  people really shouldN'T have to post on forums to find out how to purchase, download and enter
    in a subscription key for a base version of an OS.  it's crazy.
    2) once i can figure out how to download, install and register the darn thing ;)... i'm curious how the licensing works.
    2a) first if my windows 8.1 pro experiment on mac parallels sucks, i want to be able to remove the authorization so i can reinstall 8.1 pro on another system.   can i / how do i do this in my scenario?
    2b) i actually already bought windows pro 8.1 about a year ago (to upgrade a laptop that came with 8 that i needed to upgrade to vanilla 8.1 then to finally to pro) so that i could windows phone 8.1 development with simulator on the laptop.  unfortunately
    the laptop maxed out at 4G and the performance of the emulator was ridiculously slow that it's unusable.  i'd love to somehow be able to put the laptop back to windows *vanilla* 8.1 and reclaim my 8.1 pro that i *already* purchased by removing the authorization
    from that laptop allowing me to reinstall the full 8.1 pro with the same key on the mac with parallels.  then i can sell the laptop that has sat there collecting dust for a year and regain my windows 8.1 pro investment vs having to buy another copy for
    the mac. 
    i have no idea how to do this though i think it should be possible.  can anybody tell me where / how i do this?
    note the win pro 8.1 install never went well so i actually had some guy from MS login to my laptop remotely and do the install.. in doing so i believe he wiped away the original windows vanilla 8.1 recovery partition asus put on the drive meaning i'm not
    sure i can get the laptop back to 8.1  or 8 vanilla so i can resell it functionally to another person while removing my 8.1 *pro* license from it.   any suggestions here highly welcome.
    2c)  once i get the windows 8.1 pro installed in a vm under parallels, i'll have one licensed copy running.  my guess is that is what i'm limited to.  but when you start working with VMs the whole purpose is to be able to create multiple test
    enviornments and dispose of them when you don't need them etc.   since the window will be tied to the single mac hw id, will i be able to install multiple *win* vms (duping an exising win vm for instance) from the one license  or must i purchase
    multiple win licenses for each win vm on the SAME system?   if you need a new license for each vm, wouldn't i have to do a FULL WINDOWS INSTALL every time i wanted to create another windows VM.. THAT IS CRAZILY INEFFICIENT...
    there has to be some kind of option to dup a windows licensed vm on the SAME system yes?  what are the rules / procedures for making this work.
    i'm using parallels on mac as an example but the same question would apply to using hyperV (which i know nothing about at this point) as the virtual host platform as well.
    i'm open to well thought out links that actually answer these questions succinctly in addition to comments here
    thanks in advance

  • Logical standby and truncate partition

    Hi,
    I'm evaluation whether a logical standby database would meet our needs.
    We have a live database and want a reporting database that is identical to the live one, just minutes behind in time to the live one, plus we want to create other summary tables etc on the reporting db.
    Logical standby seems to meet our needs but I have one query.
    - On the live db the most of the tables are organized by date partitions and only 5 days are kept with new partitions being created every night for the forthcoming days and the oldest date partitions being truncated.
    On the reporting database we want to keep 30 days partitions.
    Can we have all the DDL and DML from live being applied to the standby APART from the specific truncate partition statements?
    Many Thanks,
    Kailas

    Addendum.
    If you can , it is better to truncate the partition but not drop it, after exporting the partition for archive purposes. If you ever need to bring the data back, the data will go into the correct partition . If the table structure has been changed by adding or lengthening columns, this will still work OK where column names match.
    Test ease of restoration of archived data to existing and non-existing partitions with altered structure (dropped columns,added columns, renamed columns) for yourself though.
    Regards, Vin.
    PS. When splitting maxdata partition to create new 'highest' partition, use a small initial extent then the 'next' being the expected real size needed. When the partition is truncated, the only space that should remain un-claimable will be that allocated for the initial extent.

    to their original values in order to avoid premature purging of traces. The default value for the high

  • New Macbook, bringing in for repair

    Hi, My Macbook is less than a month old and I'm having problems with it (sometimes doesn't turn on, potential logic board problems etc)
    I'm planning to take it to a Authorized Apple Servicer, but would it cause any problems that my HD is partionally partitioned to WindowsXP operating system? Should I remove that part before bringing it in for repair?
    Thanks

    That shouldn't cause problems at all, especially if you used Boot Camp to do it. Apple has put Boot Camp out there so should expect that some machines are going to come in with Windows installed on a second partition.
    No need to remove it that I can imagine.
