Creating a bootable Volume for the MBA

This post is kinda a follow-on to post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1386691&tstart=0
I used Disk Utility to re-partition my internal SSD so that I could clone my Time Machine backup USB disk Volume to it using SD! version 2.5 (Leopard compatible). After this I disconnected the Time Machine USB disk from the MBA and re-connected another LaCie 40GB USB disk instead.
I now did a remote boot from my G5's optical device and used the Installer to restore the SSD Time Machine clone to the direct attached LaCie disk. This went smoothly.
I then restarted the MBA and held down the Option key and was able to select the attached LaCie USB disk and the MBA booted up nicely from it.
So, now I have an alternative external means of booting my MBA is the internal SSD goes south or get corrupted in weird manner.

Then what CSound1 said: use CCC to clone your drive to another disk for safekeeping, then install Lion and enjoy. All of your apps will still be there after the upgrade.
Have you checked to make sure your apps are Lion compatible? This guide can help you find out:

Hi Spinland
That is not what I said exactly ......
1 Clone the SL (internal) to the external.
2 Boot from the external and install Lion on it.
3 Run Lion from the clone until you know it works (and you can identify any incompatible apps).
4 Clone the Lion external back to the internal.
5 You're done.

Can I create a bootable usb for Lion SERVER?

I've installed Lion OS. Then downloaded Lion SERVER.
Creating a bootable USB for the ordinary OS was simple enough (stop install, show contents,restore partition etc). However, with Lion Server, install package does not appear in applications and there does not seem to be any obvious was way to stop the installation before the install package self destructs. Download from app store shows in Launchpad. Icon then changes to 'installing'. Install process is very quick and it won't stop
Has anyone else had this "problem"? Thanks!

If you have a Mac mini Server with Lion server pre-installed you can do this fairly easily using the method outlined here http://www.hotblack.co.nz/article.lsd?i=lionserver
But I have a stock iMac with Lion pre-installed and got the Lion Server on top. I too have been looking at this "problem". Even after you've installed Lion Server and try the method they suggest you do not get a Lion Server InstallESD.dmg file.
My solution is this:
Using your existing Lion Server, copy "Install Mac OS X Lion" to your applications folder. Then when you use the installer with a BLANK volume as your target you will see an Options button on the bottom left side of the Installer pane. Clicking this allows you to install Server components. Your target can be a 16GB USB stick. Interestingly when this stick reboots you actually get the Server Assistant up which can configure your server.
So essentially you have a Lion Server USB stick - again don't forget to add "Install Mac OS X Lion" to the Applications folder.
You can also snag the Server components for copying onto target volumes by shutting down before the install reboot.

[INS-32021] Insufficient disk space on this volume for the selected Oracle

Folks,
Hello. I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC Grid using Installer whose location is: /home/.../grid/runInstaller.
I am on step 4 of 8 in the Wizard whose contents are as follows:
Oracle Base: /u01/11g_grid
Software Location: /u01/app/grid
Cluster Registry Type: ASM
OSASM Group: dba
When click "next" button I got this error:
" [INS-32021] Insufficient disk space on this volume for the selected Oracle home
Cause - The selected Oracle home was on a volume without enough disk space.
Action - Choose a location for Oracle home that has enough space (minimum of 3,017MB) or free up space on the existing volume. "
I test my "home" directory using the command: [ora11g@rac1 home]$ df -k
Its Ouput:
Filesystem: /dev/sda1 and tmpfs
1K-blocks: 20,308,020 and 848,184
Used: 18,888,968 and 0
Available: 370,816 and 848,184
Use: 99% and 0%
Mounted on : / and /dev/shm
I run another command: [ora11g@rac1 u01]$df -k and got the same output as above.
My questions are:
First, is "Oracle home" the directory "/home/..." or the directory "/u01/..." ?
Second, how to increase the space for the correct directory to be over 3017MB (Minimum) ?
Thanks.

Folks,
Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.
I am installing Oracle 11gR2 RAC using 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2).The Virtual Disk for each VM is 20 GB whose raw device is /dev/sda (partition /dev/sda1 is the same size).
In order to install Grid Infrastructure, I add 5 Hard Disks into the first VM rac1 and 10GB for each Hard Disk.Then create 5 ASM disks respectively as a Disk Group. Let me describe them as follows:
OS Phyysical file: C:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asmdisk1.vmdk (asmdisk2.vmdk asmdisk3.vmdk asmdisk4.vmdk asmdisk5.vmdk)
Corresponding raw devices: /dev/sdb (sdc sdd sde sdf)
Corresponding partition: /dev/sdb1 (sdc1 sdd1 sde1 sdf1)
Corresponding ASM disk: ASMDISK1 (ASMDISK2 ASMDISK3 ASMDISK4 ASMDISK5)
When I run Grid installer step 5 of 8, I select all of 5 ASMDISK as ASM disk group on step 5 of 8 in the Wizard.
The clusterware files are supposed to be stored in the ASM disk group.
But it seems that on step 4 of 8 in the Wizard, the installer install the Oracle Home /u01 into VM rac1 Hard Disk /dev/sda1 and get the above error message - not enough disk space.
My questions are:
First, Why does the Installer store Oracle Home /u01 in /dev/sda1 because it should be in the Disk Group /dev/sdb1 (sdc1 sdd1 sde1 sdf1) ?
Second, Does the Installer go wrongly ?
Third, How to have the Installer store the clasterware files in ASM Disk Group ?
Thanks.

INS-32021 : Insufficient Disk Space on volume for the selected Oracle Home

Hi
I am trying to install Oracle 11g on my Red Hat Linux 5 (VMWare). I have completed all the pre-requisites realted to Kernel settings, creating groups, users, home and base directories. When I started running the 'runInstaller' and started the installation, it gave me an error saying...
'INS-32021 : Insufficient Disk Space on volume for the selected Oracle Home'.
Anyone any idea what is going on?

you haave to switch off vmware add new disk from vmware console. then using format tool you can add partition for unallocated space. and add them in volume.
space increase by adding new disk.

this is quickest process will help adding disk space .

How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe. I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar. How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!! I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

I have a loop (Modern Guitar Rock 04), which I've extended out so it repeats four times. I select the Fade Tool and X-Fade for drag. I then drag just in front of the loop and onto it, which creates a fade. However, this also creates fades at the beginning of the repeating loops. Is there a way to create a fade only for the first loop?

The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

How to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to create multi garnishment order for the same garnishment document. I tried to copy the entry in IT0195 but the sequence field is grayed out so it will just delete the old record. What configuration should I do to make this possible?
Thanks a lot in advance.

hi,
As far as I got it.
You cannot have multiple Garnishment order but if a need arises you have to maintain it in IT216.
For that follow this path goto PA30->pernr->194->change->Garnishment->adjustment.
Since like order you cannot maintain adjustment also directly.

Create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client

Dear Forum,
how can I create a defaut view for the MS Project Server 2010 client?
I saved a template and set a default view under File -> Options ->Project View. I also did the same in the checked-out enterprise global. If I then close the client and re-open it my default view changes back again to the previous one (not the view
I set as a default view).
What explains this behaviour and what can I do? Any hints?
Thank you very much for your help!

Scheduler007 --
The view you selected by clicking File > Options > Project View is the default view for every new project you create from a blank project template. This is a global option, so setting it from the checked out Enterprise Global file serves no purpose.
When you select a view as your default view, you will see that view applied to the blank project that is opened when you launch Microsoft Project 2010, and you will see it applied if you create new blank projects. If you create enterprise templates for
people to use in your organization, you should simply apply the view to the template that you want as the default so that users will see this view immediately when they create a new project from the template. In addition, if you apply a view to an open
project, close and check in the project, and then reopen the project, you will see the last view applied in that project (as Guillaume correctly points out).
Beyond this, there is no method possible for the Project Server administrator to specify a default view for the Microsoft Project application used by the project managers in your organization. This is an option each PM must set. Hope this helps.

Giving error while creating a sales contact for the previous year (2008)

Hi Friends,
We are currently with SP12. When we try to create a sales contract for the previous year it is giving error like "Schedule line is for the item 100 cannot be after the order's latest delivery date".
i tried debugging and found that that there is a rule created for this (in SP12). I commented the rule and tried to create a contract but, again got an error "Error while saving". This error I can't catch while debugging.
I even didn't find where the schedule line date and header cancel dates are set so that I can change the dates manually.
If any one has any idea, kindly help me.
Best regards,
Swarna Seeta

Hi Wolfhard,
Thanks for the reply.
You are right and I have uncommented the line which assigns true to the return value and the contract got saved now.
Thank you so much.
I just want to know whether commeting this rule effects any of the functionalities of the sales contract.
Best regards,
Swarna Seeta

MRP creating additional purchase requisitions for the existing sales order

Hi,
We have scenario where we switch materials from POD material to ARP material. POD material is just like make to procurement which creates purchase requisition and purchase order upon saving the sales order. ARP (Auto replenishment) material creates purchase requisition based on sales order and re-order point while running MRP.
When the material is POD title, it created purchase requisition and purchase order (example: 4500000110) while saving the sales order (example: 1000000010) for the quantity 10. After some time this material is switched to ARP and it has open sales order (1000000010) and purchase order (4500000110).
We have special MRP run for ARP materials based on MRP type, which creates purchase requisition.. What is happening is when we run MRP; it is creating new purchase requisition for the old sales order (1000000010) for the quantity 10. But old sales order (1000000010) is already having purchase order (4500000110) to fulfill. So we donu2019t want to create new purchase requisition for the old sales orders. It should create purchase requisition only for new sales orders.
Please advise
Thanks in advance
Srinivas

Mangesh,
If the components are Inhouse production then you can think of using collective orders by assigning special procurement key 52. If raw material exists then your requirement cannot be met..as i think your scenario is of assembly processing. The idea of assembly processing is that component materials will always be available and only assembly will be done based on Sale Order.

Is it necessary to create a Billing Plan for the Service Contracts

Hi All,
Is it necessary to create a billing plan for the service contracts.
My requirement.
In CRM 7.0, we created a service contract. For the item in that service contract there is a Billing Plan tab.
In that tab we have the dates for Period, Billing Date etc.
Now our requirement is to get the Billing Date quarterly. For this we created date rules and date profiles and assigned these date profiles to header and item level transactions.
And we are able to see the date rules under the drop down of the billing date.
I copied the standard date rule BILL004 to ZBILL004.
But when we changed to our date rule it is not changing to quarterly date.
Can you please let me know what are the configurations to be done for this.
Is the billing plan has to be created for this kind of scenario.
Thanks in advance

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guess

I hired a commercial artist to create a color image for the cover of a self published book. I want a black and white image for the inside. The commercial artist has not responded to this request. How do I determine the format of the color image, I'm guessing it's Illustrator's formatting but I don't know. How can I find out if Illustrator will open the file and allow alterations? The image opens only in Apple's Pages software?

rons,
It seems that all you have is a raster image, presumable PNG24 or JPEG, in RGB.
It may have been created as raster artwork in Photoshop, or it may have been created as vector artwork with the help of Illy, or as a mixture of vector and raster artwork in either application, or both combined.
If you just need to have a raster representation in black and white based on the current colour image, you may try this, in a new RGB document (View>Smart Guides are your friends):
1) File>Place the image (you may tick Link or untick and have it embedded);
2) Create a rectangle with black fill (R = G = B = 0), at least as large as the image, and place it behind the image (you may ClickDrag with the Rectangle Tool between opposite corners, then Ctrl/Cmd+X+B);
3) Select all and in the Transparnecy palette flyout click Make Opacity Mask with both Clip and Invert Mask ticked.
