Configuring two disks

I've got a 3 TB Time Machine. Now i want to hook up an external drive. The internal drive of the TC should be for time capsule purposes only. The external drive should be for file sharing purposes. That would require different setups. The internal drive should be accessible through machine password, whereas the external drive should be accessible through drive password. Somehow this can't be configured with the airport utility app. Is there a workaround?

Network drives (NAS) is now a huge market with huge numbers of products with several major players..
It is too big to say buy this or that..
For cost, the hard drive manufacturers have it to themselves.. Seagate, WD (The rest). They have several lines.. but their cheap single disk models are best value for money.
However they are not fast.. for fast you need to buy QNAP or Synology higher end products. Some netgear some other brands like Asustor trying to break in.
Best idea is read the reviews.. here.
Start from the charts.. as they make it clear..
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/charts/nas/view
There is a heap of info.. and sky the limit.
You can also DIY.. with a HP microserver.. you can build a cheap and really good NAS. There is huge community of people.. look up xpenology.

How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

Hello,
We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
Thanks
Srinivas

You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
For your review...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

How to get a bootable vhd for a Linux on Hyper-V with two disks ?

Hi folks,
I am running a custom linux on my Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008 R2. I initially configured one disk(4GB) and then I added one more hard disk of higher capacity (8GB). Now I got two vhd files with different sizes.
If I want to create a new linux VM (with two hard disks as original), with an existing vhd file, which one can I use?
I tried the first one, but it is not working as expected.
Is there any other way to get a bootable vhd file for a linux VM with two hard disks?
Any tools to make it?
Thanks in advance,
Saleem

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your response. I am rephrasing my question and requirement again.
I need to create a pre-configured Virtual Machine package(something like OVA in ESXi) in Hyper-V. This package should have disk, memory and network configs.
These are the steps I performed:
1. I created a Linux VM with a single 4GB disk.
2. I added another 80GB SCSI disk.
3. Now I got two .vhd files with 108MB and 80GB sizes
When I tried to create a new VM using VHD file, I was able to give one VHD file as input and selected 108MB VHD file for my VM.
With this VM got created but with only one disk of size 4GB. I need to add a new disk manually to get two disks.
My requirement is to create a VM with two/more disks using one VHD file without any manual input.
In other words, I need to create a pre-configured VM package (Similar to OVA) that could be used to create a VM with two or more disks.
This single package file could be given to users, so that they can deploy a similar VM as defined in the package file.
When we create VM using ESXi OVA file, we get the configured number of disks.
What is the similar packaging mechanism in Hyper-V?
Does Hyper-V on Windows Server 2008/2012 and SCVMM 2008/2012 support OVF/OVA to export and import?
Thanks,
Saleem

Two disk drives to act as one?

Hello,
I know I might get a LMGTFU for this but what I've looked up so far has been pretty technical and was hoping to get a more simplified explanation. I just got a second hard drive and it's faster and larger than the original that came with it. I know that I can spread out files across two disks but was hoping to find a better solution. What I am looking for is: to bridge the two drives together so that they basically behave as one. I looked at LVM but if I'm right this can do it, however has the caveat of being able to only work with the Linux kernel (Vista takes up one partition). Not knowing anything about it, would it be possible to do some type of RAID configuration to get this functionality? Since I don't know anything about it, I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have. Is this possible (if yes a good place to start), or is this so sort of a pipe dream?

Thanks for the responses. Wasn't aware of the need to reformat. Luckily I got an older third drive that I can swap into my PC and save all the data on. I'd prefer the hardware solution anyways (figure it's easier to set up) and have been looking for a RAID-0 controller and found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6816132001
I only got a PCI slot left, so will this do or am I going to have problems with bottlenecking and such?

I am trying to configure two WRV200 from 2 different loca...

I am trying to configure two WRV200 from 2 different location and ADSL
accounts. One location has PPPoE and the other has PPPoA. Both of it are
having a Speedtouch 356 6V modem. The router which using PPPoE and having a DDNS from TZO.com has no problem with the Quick VPN but the router which using a PPPoA connection could not able to connect even the quick VPN.
There is an option to ridirect the Public IP of Speedtouch to other network device and I manage to configure it and now my router who is having a PPPoA connection has a Public IP. But still the same problem VPN still not working.
Is there any chance that I could make this router work with the PPPoA connection. I will really appreciate if somebody could help me with this problem.

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on what other external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and how to configure that disk

I want to set up the Time Machine and I would love to use the Time
Capsule but since I already have a wireless router I need suggestions on
what other
external disks Apple could recommend to use with the Time Machine and
how to configure that disk.
A complication that I need to resolve is the fact that I am using Vmware
Fusion to be able to use Windows on my Mac. Now it seems that Time
Machine is not backing up my files
on that virtual Windows without additional configuration and my question
is whether you can advise me here or whether this is only a matter for
the Fusion virtual machine.

If you want to use Time Capsule you can.. you simply bridge it and plug it into the existing router.. wireless can be either turned off or used to reinforce the existing wireless.. eg use 5ghz in the TC which is much faster than your 2.4ghz.
You can also use a NAS.. many brands available but the top brands are synology, qnap and netgear readynas series. These will all do Time Machine backups although how well always depends on Apple sticking to a standard. There are cheaper ones.. I bought a single disk zyxel which was rebadged and sold through my local supermarket. It actually works very well for TM at least on Snow Leopard. Major changes were made in Lion and again ML so do not instantly think it will work on later versions. I haven't tried it yet with those versions.
Any external drive can be plugged into the mac. Use the one with the fastest connection or cheapest price according to your budget. USB2 drives are cheap and plentiful. But no where near as fast as USB3 or FW800. So just pick whichever suits the ports on your Mac. Interesting Apple finally moved to USB3 on their latest computers.
TM should exclude the VM partition file.. it is useless backing it up from Mac OS side.. and will slow TM as it needs to backup that partition everyday for no purpose.. TM cannot see the files inside it to backup just the changes.
You need to backup windows from windows. Use MSbackup to external drive.. if you have pro or ultimate versions you can backup to network drive. But MSbackup is a dog.. at least until the latest version it cannot restore the partition without first loading windows. There are about a zillion backup software versions for windows.. look up reviews and buy one which works for you. I use a free one Macrium Reflect which does full disk backups and is easy to restore.. to do incremental backups though you have to pay for it.

Can I configure two webserver domain in one windows server

Can I configure two webserver domain in one windows server with default port. ( i.e 80 )
For Ex:- http://server-name/psp/DOMAIN/?cmd=login and another one
http://server-name/psp/DOMAIN2/?cmd=login.
If not please let me know the workaround to do so. B'coz i don't want to put portnumber in my second URL..

Hi,
You can even have serveral domains within the same webserver instance.
During PIA installation (of the second) choose option existing domain and then add an additional site.
Give the domain a unique name and port to your second application server and you are ready to go.
I usually do this on sandbox environments to keep the sandbox small , with several databases (Portal, HCM, FIN, CRM) and one PIA with serveral domain.
But is definitely not what you should do for production systems.
Each application should have it's one PIA instance.
Hakan
I didn't read the port number requirement.
You can only run one webserver instance on a port number for example port 80.
But you can still have one webserver PIA with serveral domain on the same port number as described above.

These actions are not performed in the security context of the user. The Local System / computer account of the Hyper-V Server is what needs the access, not the user.
Also, many AV products will cause these problems if the exclusions are not set properly, as they block the hypervisor from doing its job.

Configuring two listener to a database

Hi,
Oracle 11gR2 (2 node RAC) on linux.
How to configure two ports to a single listener. (by chance it's not possible, but any workaround)
Currently listener is configured to port 1521. We require to set port 1522 also to the listener.
We have encrypted tablespaces, where these encrypted ts requires to access from App tier through port 1522. For this we require to configure two ports 1521 to access non-encrypted TS and 1522 for encrypted TS access.
This is the requirement from the client end.
I got some workarond like to create two seperate listeners to listen single database.
Like 1521 listener to access non-encrypted tablespaces and 1522 listener to access encrypted tablespaces -- both listeners point single database.
any suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks

You got the answer already several times, but just for your convenience, I repeat it here:
read documentation
And as it only requires netca to configure the port, if you would have read documentation upfront, you could have configured half your country in this fashion.
But alas, you choose to remain lazy.
The 'requirement' of have encrypted tablespaces and encrypted traffic is of course just plain idiotic. What, apart from a performance hit, will anyone gain by that?

Timecapsule shows two disks after mountain lion upgrade?

I have a TimeCapsule, which has been doing a good job wirelessly backing up my Macbook.
I recently upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion and have noticed that time machine now shows me as having two disks:
I know that after the upgrade Time Machine seemed to be intent on performing a full backup. Does this mean that in effect it created a new drive on the TimeCapsule? If so, what will happen to the old disk? Will it ever be deleted? Or if not, how do I eventually remove it without losing my more recent backups?
And is there any way for me to rename the old disk? As you can see from the two screenshots, it isn't particularly obvious which one is which.

Ah, this may be expected functionality that has changed in Mountain Lion. I gather that it's to do with 'rotating backups'. These are described by Pondini here - http://pondini.org/TM/34.html - and appears to show the same display.
The thing that isn't entirely clear is that this window shows both the current backup disks and all available backup discs, even if in use. To quote Pondini: "(Oddly, already-selected disks appear in both sections.)"
**** right it's odd. Who thought that was a good UI? And thanks Pondini, that's answered my question.
Found via this discussion.

MacBook two disks device order

I have notice some strange behavior at my MacBook Pro 7,1.
It has two disks. A BP 4 SSD at the main bay, and the original mechanical HDD using the CD-ROM sata port.
Everytime I turn it on (or reboot) the mac inverts the order of the disks. I noticed that using windows, because when the order changes, OSX won't boot (keep stuck on forbidden sign).
Windows device manager shows Disk 0 an 1. Sometimes 0 is the SSD (right), sometimes 0 is the mechanical (wrong).
Is there a way to solve this? EFI is up-to-date.

" A Mac that cannot boot from an appropriate Installer/Utilities DVD has Hardware problems."
That is, with those known bad disks and other peripherals removed to run the test.
The Mac Pro (65lb tower) Has Error Correcting Code (ECC) memory, so it instantly fixes single errors and stops using bad modules or halts on uncorrectable errors. At Startup, if there is not enough good memory to start, the power light blinks.
The chime is generated in software after millions of instructions have been successfully executed, and the first part of the power-on self test has passed. Your Mac is working.
EDIT:
10.7 Disk Utility (including the version on the DVD you made) has some ability to make some repairs on the partition table when:
a) you choose "Ignore" at startup
b) the drive is selected by Hardware_name
c) you choose ( Repair Disk ).

Disk Utility: Two disks show per disk. Repair which one?

Greetings,
In Disk Utility, for every disk mounted two disks are listed. One indented under the first. The first seems to represent the physical disk, and the second the volume on the disk.
But the buttons say "Disk" in bother cases, and in any instructions, including Disk Utility help, it never indicates which one to select.
Which one should be selected when instructions say to click "Repair Disk"?
Thanks

The unindented item is the physical drive entry. The indented item is the logical volume or volumes on the drive. When only one volume is listed repairing the volume may be done by selecting either entry. However, if you have more than one volume on the drive, then you should select the specific volume you need to repair. To repair permissions you must select the volume regardless of how many volumes are on the drive.

Is it possible to configure size disk for a Cloud Service?

Is it possible to configure size disk for a Cloud Service?
What happens is, I have deployed a Solr Server on a Cloud Service, and the application folder is on E: Drive, but it is only 1.5 GB. I want to increase it, because index content created easily exceeds this limit.
Thank you.

hi Luis,
Base on my experience, E drive is the app disk. The apps (application) disk is where your .cspkg is extracted and includes your website, binaries, role host process, startup tasks, web.config, and so on. It is only 1.5G (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn197896.aspx
). So I think you didn't worry about its space.

How do you configure two counters for a single task?

Hello Everyone,
I would like to know how to configure two counters for a single task. At first, I have put two start task for two counters and it did not work. Now, I have put Control Task to control the task of the other counter. Appreantly, all what it does is that it makes one counter work while other is stopped or not working. I have attached a picture of the VI below.
Thanks.

Hello Mike,
We are currently using NI-cDAQ 9191 chassis with NI 9401 Digital I/O module that can use counters. I don't know if the lines for the counters are multiplexed or not. I have attached the VI for you to look at it.
Thank you for your effort.
