Creating diskgroups and failure groups on windows

Hi,
I have a Windows 32-bit with two drives of C: and F:. I have an Oracle database that I like to migrate to ASM. I ran the utility localconfig.bat with the add option which successfully started CSS services and installed ASM and started it up.
In DBCA I tried to create diskgroups but there is no way to do it. How can I create diskgroups and failure groups on windows?

You have to use the ASMTOOLG (or asmtool) program to "mark" the disks for use with ASM. Once done, DBCA should recognize the disks.
You might check out Julian Dykes powerpoint on installing RAC and ASM on Windows for more helpful info.
Cheers!

How to create Rescue and Recovery disc for Windows Vista Home Basic with G530 Lenovo Laptop?

Hi All,
I have purchased G530 Lenovo laptop 2 weeks back.
I coudn't find installation/recovery discs in my laptop box.
I went across the forums and came to know that it is not available now-a-days as it was coming previously.
So, anybody can help me, how to create a recovery disc?
This is needed when I format my laptop.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Umesh.

Click on what used to be the "Start" button and search for "create" or "recovery". It took me a while to find it but it is there.
Use a cd for the first disc and 2 DVD's for the other discs.

Brand New T430 and Failure to Install Windows Updates

I have built many systems as well as purchased and configured laptops but this one has me stumped. I have attempted several times to intall Windows updates on my brand new T430 but when the system goes to install them it eventually says that there was a failure to do so and the laptop will revert back. Thinking it might be due to updates via wirelessly I have tried it via ethernet connection but with the same results.
I have tried it by turning off security software and the firewall but the same thing occurs.
Please, any tips here? Thanks.
Solved!

'evening.
it's a known Microsoft issue. we have a Community knowledgebase article here:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Windows-updates-not-installing-system-config-l...
basically, install KB2647753 all by itself, first. once complete, with any needed reboot, the others will install successfully.
cheers.

You will need iTunesProducer to deliver your book to the iBooks store - and its not compatable with Windows PC.
Apple have a list of Aggregators who you can contact and they will upload your books - for a fee.

Create ASM Failure Group via dbca

I am not sure how to configure a Failure Group in ASM.
I am not using asmlib.
So I start dbca - choose configure ASM
Create Diskgroup --> Data
select my 2 raw devices ( which are on 2 storages)
I select normal redundancy;
Disk Path ASM Name Failure Group
/dev/raw/raw4 Data1 FG1_Data
/dev/raw/raw5 Data2 FG2_Data
Is this enough ? Or is there anything else needed for a functional failure group ?
Does that mean, when one storage (with disk Data2) is switched off - that my instance will survive and is still able to write data on the diskgroup ?

Hi,
What is your oracle version?

Groups in Windows Contacts and Syncing

On my PC I run Vista and Windows Mail which utilizes Windows Contacts. I have approx. 500 contacts in WC, some of which are mine and some are my wife's. I created two new contact groups within WC, one for myself and one for my wife, and copied the whole list of 500 contacts to each. This now gives me three separate lists - the main group, my group and her group, which are all identical. As expected, we can edit and customize the individual groups (mine and hers) with no problem, and (also as expected) if one edits the main group it also changes the two sub groups. So for example if I delete an entry in the main list it also deletes it from the two sub group lists. So far so good.
Now, when I sync our individual iphones, I can get each phone to pick up our individual lists also with no problem. However, my problem is this;
If I make changes to my contact list ON MY iphone (for example deleting contacts), when I sync it with my PC the next time, it will cause the deletion of those contacts in both my contact list on the PC, AND in the main contact list so they are lost forever.
Another thing I don't quite understand is how to delete "All Contacts" from the iphone. I don't think that you can. It seems as though "All Contacts" is a default that cannot be changed and is generated by compiling all of the individual contact lists on the iphone.
Thanks

Hi there,
the only way to move a contact from one group to another is making the change within the Adressbook app on your Mac (or via the corresponding Windows application which should in all likelihood be MS Outlook) and afterwards sync your iPhone via iTunes or MobileMe.
Moving contacts between groups on the iPhone itself is currently not possible, maybe iOS 5 will change that.

User can't create, edit, or remove groups and fix I found causes more issues.

Hello!
I have a user that can't create, edit, or remove groups within Lync client 2013. I found a fix online that removing the SIP information will fix the issue. It did but when I do that they have no control over their phone from Lync. So I
added the SIP information back and then the original issue comes back. Is there a way I can have both? We are using the 2013 client but are running Lync 2010 on the server.
Thanks!

Hi,
would you please elaborate about the message above you provided? Did "SIP information" mean user profile?
If yes, it maybe the issue of address book sync. you can try to force Lync to immediately download the address book with the following way:
execute the following command from the Windows Command Prompt run as an administrator;
reg add HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync /v GalDownloadInitialDelay /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

ASM Failure Groups and Disk Controllers

Hey guys,
I understand that it's considered a good idea to set different Failure Groups for disks which could fail at the same time because they share hardware, For example, disks that share the same disk controller.
Now, my question might be silly but I don't understand why we would configure multiple disks with the same disk controller.
Thank you,
Jerry.

Hi Jerry,
Your question is not silly.
Usually you have one or more disk controllers in a system
Each controller can handle up to x disks ( in the past this was 15, don't know if this still is )
If you wanted to be redundant, like with RAID1 ( mirrorring ) configurations a system was usually configured to have an even amount of disks
spread evenly over two controllers.
This then covered disk-failure and controller failure, as each logical disk in the mirror-set is accessible over two controllers and consists of -at least - two disks.
In ASM you would configure the main diskgroup on the first set of disks on the first controller.
The failure group would then be configured on the second set of disks on the second controller.
In the SAN world, with ASM using Host Based Mirroring, the Failure group can also be a diskset on a totally different storage-server
Edit: Totally forgot: More disks on one controller mean more parallel access to your data, as you can read all seperate disk seperately.
In the current days with the enormous disks it is quite easy to configure just one disk in your system, but that will bring you quite easy huge performance problems

Creating ora_dba group in Windows vista

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 10g in a Windows vista environment. The Oracle installation guide "http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b14316/intro.htm#i1006491" says that OUI creates the ora_dba group when the oracle s/w is installed. But, the ora_dba group is not created in my system and I also don't have a "local and users group" category in the computer management to create a group either.
The sqlnet.ora file has the parameter SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)
So, I was wondering how would a user be authenticated by the OS as a dba...
and also if anybody knows how to create the ora_dba group plz reply...
ur help is greatly appreciated
Thanks.

The best thing you can do with Vista is download VMware Server and use it to run a Centos 4 or 5 virtual machine. Then you will see Oracle run as she was meant to be run.
Vista is a client operating system. Oracle is intended to be run on servers. Enough said.

What is the failure group in ASM and the meaning of ASM assigns each disk

Hi
Please help me in understanding
what is the failure group in ASM and the meaning of "ASM assigns each disk to it's own failure group, by default"

As you may have known ASM uses mirroring and striping of files. Mirroring is storing same compies/parts of files in different disks/controllers. When creating disk group which could consist of several disks, you have to assign disks at least to separate failure groups for normal redundancy , or three failure groups for High redundancy. This means that ASM will never assign mirrode copies/pieces of files to the same failure group. So, assigning disks to different failure groups you make sure mirrored copies are not on the same physical storage. Saying with other words, failure group gives your more abstract meaning based on which you can organize your physical disks contained in disk group.
That is why for normal redundancy at least two failure groups are needed, because there are one mirrored copy of each extent(allocation unit, to be exact) and for high redundancy the requirement is at least 3 failure groups, because each allocation unit has 2 mirrored copies, which should be on different failure group, consequently.
Hope, this explanation is helpful.

Collaboration - Creating rooms and displaying to a specific group

Hi,
I am new to enterprise portals. Can anybody guide me in this context?
I want to create some collaboration rooms which would be specific to groups. Eg. The Students should be able to see rooms specific to their subject. The professionals should be able to view the collaboration specific to subjects that they have selected in their profile. Administrator should be the only user who can create rooms and manage it.
I see about the roles in the book but i am a bit confused.
How do i do that?

Ramachandran Reddy,
Just goign through the forums found the question unanswered. i have done the process what you have asked for.
1)      If you want to create Collaboration Rooms and assigning member's to the room created you should have a role assigned to you i.e. eu_role.
2)      To assign those roles go to User Management and assign to your User or can ask the System Administrator to do it.
3)      After assigning the role you will see New WorkSet assigned to you in the Portal i.e. Home.
4)      In the top Navigational area go to Content Administration. Click it
5)      Go to Collaboration Content. Click it.
6)      On the left side Detailed Navigational area you will find Room Creation link. Click it.
7)      That will open a New view on right side panel where you provide the details to create a Collaboration Room like
             a) Name : Collaboration Room Name
             b) Description : Give some description about the room you are creating
             c) Owner: Generally as you are logged in, so the Owner will be you, but if you want to change the user you can also do it.
            d) Categories: Select any one of the categories.
            e) Template: There are Meeting templates, Project Template & Team template, depending upon the requirement you select the required template.
                You can also create your own template
Process to Create Room Template: On left side navigational area you will find a link "Room Template Administration". Click it.
              I. You will see a New Template tab, click it
              II.      A view is displayed where you need to give the details for the creation of Room template. In the Workset option box choose the option where you want to create the template. Click next.
             III.      Add the role and give the required page permissions. Click next.
             IV.      Incase you want to extent the then you can also extent the template. Here you can select the user's who can use the template you have created.
             f) Choose the Room Type, it can be a Public, Private and Restricted and also in the add the members.
             g)      When you click the Select button a new window is opened, just enter the user's name and add them to the room created. Click next.
8)      A New Collaboration room is created and members are added to them.
9)      Now if you want to send some messages or documents to the member's then go to the Top level Navigational and there you will find Home tab. Click it
10) Goto the Work in the navigation panel select the room you have created.
11) Choose the member from the memberlist , now depending upon the requirement send email or instant message to the user.
if you feel the process is useful please reward points.
