Creating VMs on single DL360 server with no shared storage

Hi,
I would like to create 3 VMs on a DL360 using internal disks only. I am using Oracle VM 3.0.2.
Before I start I was trying to understand the online docs -
Can someone give me the benefit of their experiance and tell me if my following assumptions are true?
1. I still need to create a server pool even though I will not be using any HA features.
2. One entire disk is needed for VM server installation - so I cannot use this disk as 'local storage' for the server pool.
Point 2 above I am not sure about... I would like to mirror the internal disks and I cannot afford to lose a full disk for the VM server installation.
Any help much appreciated!

2. One entire disk is needed for VM server installation - so I cannot use this disk as 'local storage' for the server pool.Correct. Any disk that is partitioned for the installation is not usable for server pool storage. You would need additional disks. If you wanted to mirror the internal disks, you would need to be able to present two mirrored logical disks to the operating system, if that's possible. I haven't played with a DL360, so I'm not sure what the onboard RAID controller is capable of.

Create a new directory in server with JSP

Hi,
How can I create a directory in server with JSP.
File dir = new File("a");
dir.mkdir();
does not work. what do I do?
best regards,

Hi
Check the following things.
1. What is the path where you are creating the directory.
2. Do you permissions to create file in that directory.
3. do a delete on that filename if that exists just to be sure. isdeleted = filedir.delete(). Check the boolean flag isdeleted too.
Thanx and Regards

- two quest with Oracle enterprise linux 5
- both have ocfs2 rpm instaled
when I wont to create shared storage for ocr I configure cluster.conf
- service o2cb configure -> all ok -> on both nodes
- service o2cb enable -> ok -> on both nodes
- then mkfs.ocfs2 in node1

Server Pool WITHOUT shared storage

The documentation defines Server Pool as:
+Logically an autonomous region that contains one or more physical Oracle VM Servers.+
Therefore, should it possible to add multiple servers (physically separate VM servers) to the same Server Pool even though they are NOT using shared storage? When I tried to add the second VM Server to the Server Pool I received the following error:
During adding servers ([vmoracle2]) to server pool (VM_Server_Pool), Cluster setup failed:

Agent 2.2.0 failed: <Exception: SR '/dev/sda3' not supported: type 'ocfs2.local' not in

Nothing is as easy as it seems when it comes to Oracle VM.
When trying to create a new Server Pool to accommodate my second VM Server, I received the following error:

How to implement RAC with no shared storage available...

Hello Guys,
I have installed, configured single node RAC R2 with 2 database instances on windows 2000 platform with the help of vmware software. Installation was successfull.
I just meet my boss to explain him my acheivements and to get permission to go for prodcution environment where we will be developing 3 nodes RAC on linux platform.
I asked him that we need a shared stroage system that can be achieved by SAN or NAS or firewire disks... but he refuses to buy any additioan hardware as we have already spend a lot on servers. He wants to me have another computer with a large size Hard Disk Drive to be used as shared storage.
I just want to know can we configure 3 nodes RAC using HDD of an other computer as sommon shared storage...
Please guide me. I really want to implement RAC in our production environment.
Regards,
Imran

Yeah, but would openfiler work? Has any one
implemented RAC using open filer or software
configured shared storage.
Any other better solution as i have to implement it
in production environment and have to seek better
backup facilities.Are you looking for a production environment, or an evaluation environment?
For an evaluation environment OpenFiler works. I occasionally teach RAC classes using that. It works but it is not as fast or as robust as I'd like in production.
For a production environment, plan to pay some money. The least expensive commercial shared stored I have found is from NetApp - any NetApp F8xx or FAS2xx files with iSCSI or even NFS license will do for RAC.

crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.

Create directory on SAP application server with blanks

Problem creating a new Glassfish 4 server with Oracle Tools for Kepler

Hello,
I installed Oracle Tools for Kepler with no problem. But when I want to create a new server and fill in the directory to the server (which is valid, C:/glassfish4/glassfish), nothing happens. I can only click 'back' or 'cancel'.
There is no error message.
Is this a bug in Eclipse or Oracle Tools, or do I do something wrong ?
Thanks in advance for help.

Hi,
Could you let us know where you installed the GlassFish tools plugins from ?
Glassfish 4 support in OEPE has been available since Glassfish was released in June. But it looks like a bug may have been introduced in the latest build available on http://download.java.net/glassfish/ which does not exist in the version available at http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/12.1.2.1/kepler/repository
The workaround on the version you are running is to enter a dummy password value and this should allow you to create the Glassfish 4 server.
I will be filing a bug to track this issue
thanks

Error creating table on MS SQL Server with OC4J standalone

Hi there,
I'm trying to deploy an EJB application to OC4J standalone using a MS SQL Server 2000 database, MS SQL Server JDBC Drivers and OC4J 9.0.3 standalone but i keep getting this error:
Auto-creating table: create table Functieprofiel_competentieNiveau_CompetentieNiveau_functieprofiel_LBOS_Ear_LBOS_Ejb (Functieprofiel_FUNCTIE_ID bigint identity not null, COMP_ID bigint identity null, NIVEAU_ID sql_variant(255) null)

Deployment succeeds after this but the application does not run properly. Can anyone help me with this? I have no idea what to do.
Rob Heikoop

Rb -
if you want to stop the auto-creation of tables, try going to the j2ee/home/config directory of your OC4J installation. Open the application.xml file and modify the attribute autocreate-tables to be set to false.
That should stop the default table creation as a global property, unless you specifically override it at the specific deployed application level.
You can then manually create the tables on the sql-server database instance. If you keep the column names the same as the field names in the bean, then you shouldn't need to do any manual mapping. To be sure of the column names to use, take a look in the orion-ejb-jar.xml which gets generated in the j2ee/home/application-deployments/<app-name>/<ejb-module-name> to see what table/column names the generator defaulted to

Keepalive for Single web server with Multiple URLs

We require to configure CSS ( cisco 11500 series) switch configuration. Currently we have the settings mentioned below :
1. We have two IIS servers behind CSS switch hosting multiple websites for load balancing.
2. Keepalive type we are using is HTTP-HEAD
3. There is one virtual IP assigned to the CSS switch for all websites.
Now we have to provide the keep-alive URIs for the CSS switch. I am not sure which URI we have to provide for keepalive status check.
As per my understanding
1. there would be DNS entries for the websites pointing to the VIP of the CSS switch
e.g abc.com --> VIP
xyz.com --> VIP
aaa.com --> VIP
2. Name based virtual hosting to be configured on IIS server (i.e host header configuration)
3. We have to provide the URI for the keepalive prameters. As there are multiple websites are hosted on the server,firstly , is it possible in CSS switch to configure multiple keepalives for different websites ? secondly is it possible to give the complete URL (http://abc.com ) in the URI parameter of keepalive settings ? typically these settings are like
IP address : < IP address of Node >
URI : /index.html
I am not clear how this all settings will work. What is the ideal way or best practice of configuring the load balancing in the scenario of multiple websites to be hosted on IIS servers with CSS switch loadbalancer.
Is it correct to assign 1 VIP for multiple websites on server nodes?
Your inputs will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

We have done this multiple ways.
1. we did port mapping on the backend.
server www1
ip address x.x.x.x
keepalive type http
keepalive port 80
keepalive uri "/lb.htm"
acitve
server www2
ip address x.x.x.x {same as above}
keepalive type http
keepalive port 81
keepalive uri "/lb.htm"
active
or via host header checking
2.
service www1-1
ip address x.x.x.x
keepalive type script ap-kal-httptag "www1-1 /lb.htm www1"
active
service www2-1
ip address x.x.x.x {same as above}
keepalive type script ap-kal-httptag "www2-1 /lb.htm www2"
active
With the script ap-kal-httptag, you will need to have dns entries that the CSS will be able to resolve to the individual web site addreses.

TS4036 I had to create a new Apple ID because the previous ID was linked to my daughters phone. Apple ID setup was successful but now I need to know how to backup all my information and create a new iCloud ID because we're sharing storage space.

Had to create a new AppleId because the old one that I had was linked to my daughters IPhone account now that was successful I'm having trouble setting up a new iCloud account under my new apple ID due to it not transferring.

If you have both already been syncing data to the same account and now have merged data, you would have to set up a new account with your new ID, migrate a copy of the data to the new account, then eliminate your daughter's data from your account and vice versa.
To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The other phone will not be effected by this.) Next, set up the new iCloud account on this phone using the other Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing for for contacts, etc. back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to this new account. At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting your daughter's contacts from your account, and vice versa). These changes will be reflected on each phone. When finished you will have individual iCloud accounts with just your own data on them.

Hello Guys,
I was reading this article on link http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/25 it says the following

How do i add a phone to my itunes with out sharing storage

how do i add another phone to my apple id without sharing storage

You can share purchases by using the same Apple ID in
Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: > here to share purchases.
You daughter should use her own Apple ID for all other Apple services (iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, iCloud, etc...)

ITunes, with Maxtor Shared Storage.

Hi Guys,
I've set my iTunes Music Folder location to that of my Maxtor Shared Storage drive (where all my music is) but none of my music is displayed in iTunes? What am I missing here? I have a music folder plus lots of sub folders, I've tried doing a reset but no luck.
Need some help

gtiskin, Welcome to the discussion area!
Perhaps you should ask this in the iTunes discussion area or the Tiger (10.4) networking discussion area.

Multiple Office365 tenants with single sync server filtered by OU possible?

For what I currently know multiple O365 tenants synced by dirsync is only possible with multiple sync server where each sync server has an active filter for the OU for example. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Now I'd like to use a single AD / ADFS with multiple OA so that each OA will be it's own O365 tenant. But the central AD FS should be used for SSO.
The scenario looks a bit like this:
* Parent company provides www.theparentcompany.com for ADFS federation
* Subsidiary company A is an OU of the parents AD
* Subsidiary company A owns www.imasubsidiary.com
* Users of company A want to log in by [email protected] but be federated by the ADFS behind theparentcompany.com
* Subsidiary company B is an OU of the parents AD
* Subsidiary company B owns www.anotherdomain.com
* Users of company B want to log in by [email protected] but be federated by the ADFS behind theparentcompany.com
Is there a way to do this with a single sync server with the current tools? At least for what I see (connectors in FIM2010) it looks like it could be possible in theory. But I couldn't find any documentation that validates this kind of scenario.
Can FIM2010 for dir sync be used sync multiple connectors for multiple tenants or is the configuration/flow special to the DirSync installation so that a new installation is needed?
Will the upcoming AAD Connect support this scenario?
Best regrads,
Daniel

I am afraid you may not be able to achieve this using DirSync or AADSync.
For better assistance on FIM 2010, would suggest to discuss the same on:
