Dedicating physical CPUs to a zone and migrating a Solaris 8 box to a zone?

If I have a machine with a large number of cores (say 24), and dedicate 4 of the CPUs to the zone, psrinfo shows the number of CPU's dedicated to that zone as 4, however, the global zone still shows 24.
Does this mean that if there's enough stuff running in global that it can preempt the stuff running inside the zone? The concern here is that the stuff we want to run in the zone is a bit more critical than in global, so we wouldn't want global to eat up CPU resources of the zone. (I suppose we could repurpose the stuff running inside global and the zone, but then we'd get the reverse isolation issue at some other point.)
The other questions is that there's an old E450 running Solaris 8 and it's got a bunch of stuff installed on it. Would it be possible to somehow convert all the software and data of that E450 into a container or zone and run that on a more modern machine - say a T5420 which runs Solaris 10 (without upgrading the stuff running under the E450 to Solaris 10?)

you can create a flar archive of the entire system and then import it as a solaris 8 zone. if you are doing this on a cool threads system, beware of the processor. it does well with threads. if what you run on the 450 is mostly single threaded or needs a decent cpu, the coolthreads servers are not a good fit.

Number of physical cpus and RAM available

Hi All,
Can any one help me with a command to find out how many physical CPUs and memory available
on my solaris 10 machine.

The psrinfo command shows all virtual CPU's (likes cores, threads, ...), not the real CPU count.

Oracle Linux behaves exactly like Red Hat in this matter an /proc/cpuinfo can be used for that. I guess this is because you have set up VirtualBox to only assign one virtual CPU to your guest Linux.

How many Physical CPUs Arch Linux Supports?

How many Physical CPUs does Arch Linux Support, the traditional 2?
Can it support 4 or more Physical CPUs, How?
By Physical CPUs I take RedHat deffinition :
Red Hat defines physical CPUs equivalently to sockets, so a multi-core and/or hyperthreading CPU is counted as a single CPU or socket when determining whichedition of Enterprise Linux to deploy.
Thanks

Let's put it this way.
Linux can likely support more cpu's than you can afford.
That is, unless you are super rich..
If that is the case..then by all means.....
....donate!
EDIT: After some peeking around.. I found this.
SGI Altix 4700 incorporates the shared-memory NUMAflex™ architecture, which simplifies software development, workload management and system administration. It supports up to 512 processors under one instance of Linux and as much as 128TB of globally shared memory. Supporting these powerful capabilities is the NUMAlink™ interconnect, which leads the industry in bandwidth and latency for superior performance on cluster applications. The SGI Altix 4700 represents a versatile solution for shared or distributed memory applications of any scale.
Likely SGI has a few tweaks that haven't percolated into the mainline kernel yet (pending or rejected)..But sgi usually pushes the high end mutiprocessor systems..
So.. around 512?

Want to upgrade Windows and migrate to a new Boot Camp partition

I'm a dedicated Mac user who must on occasion use Windows at work.
Knowing that it's always best to make changes one step at a time, I'm looking for recommendations before embarking on a multi-step upgrade and migration:
CURRENT SET-UP:
MBP 2009, Core 2 Duo, 3.06 gHz, 8Gb RAM, 500 gb hd
OSX Lion10.7.1
Parallels 7
Windows XP SP2
No Boot Camp Partition
GOALS:
Create a Boot Camp partition and migrate Windows to there
This will allow me to keep all my Windows files in one place and have access to them regardless of whether I boot into Windows natively via Boot Camp or via a virtual device using Parallels
Upgrade to XP to Windows 7 using Windows 7 Pro Upgrade for Vista
I bought this as a pre-release two whole years ago
Hey -- was told then on the MS web site that this path would work...
Use iCloud to sync my Apple stuff with my Windows stuff (Calendar, Contacts)
I currently do this successfully via MobileMe and Outlook Exchange
However, iCloud requires that syncing with Windows requires Vista or newer (so gotta go to Windows 7, 'cuz ain't going Vista)
Migrate all my Windows applications and files without having to do clean installs
I know, clean installs are always better
However, IT support at work is always overloaded, so I choose this route for now
Also, I regularly use Super Duper to back-up (clone) my internal HD -- and have restored a number of times, always successfully -- so that necessary step is well covered.
Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

I ended up deleting my WinXP partition and the upgrade to OSX 10.7 went fine.

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database

Difference between upgrdae and migration about oracle database
please give the comments

Well, the question is almost philosophic... 
In 9i, there is a Migration Guide whereas in 10g there is a Upgrade Guide. 
Furthermore, in 9i, there is the command line startup migrate whereas in 10g that's startup upgrade.
Somebody think upgrade when go to new release, and migration when go to new version. 
Others think upgrade when new version replace database in place, and migration when new version include a move of database. 
Another point of view is : upgrade is for technical, and migration for application/data. 
 
Well, after these explanations, your upgrade/migratation notion will not be more clear, but I think that is not very important, only a terminology game. The most important is to know what you need : new version or new release.

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

What is the best practice for setting up and migrating two notebook users on one desktop

My wife and I have just purchased a desktop iMac and would like to migrate our 2 notebooks to it. I plan to use the Migration Application to achieve this. I am trying to gather information on the best ways to establish a main music library merging ours together, multiple photo libraries keeping ours apart and maintaining unique user log ins. I'm sure alot of this stuff is may appear to be pretty straight forward setting up multiple users and all, yet we individually have never established multiple users on our personal notebooks, so there will be some bit of learning. Any advice on the hang ups or tricks users have encountered would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Step one would be to the steps in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and migrate your account, apps, and settings from your machine, using the Setup Assistant on first boot. Then, use the Migration Assistant to migrate your wife's account to the machine. That should carry over her photos and music. Merging those libraries should be detailed in the respective help files for iTunes and iPhoto. I don't share anything and only have one account, so I can't help with those details.

Corrupted time machine backup and Migration tool

Thanks in advance to anyone that is able to help. Sorry for the long read.
Recently I replaced my hard drive because it was slowing down and had a very large number of bad sectors. After replacing the HD with a new one I tried to use migration assistant to move my information from the old one. As has happend with many bad hard drives it could not detect the old drive. This always happens if I try to migrate from a drive with bad sectors. The healthy ones always work.
So in an attempt to make the migration tool see the files and migrate them I am trying to use the old drive to spoof a Time machine backup.
First I set my old HD as the location of the new mac's TM backup just to get a TM backup file in place. The fist problem I ran into was that time machine backups are write protected at the kernel level and can't be modified. I found a helper module in the TMsafetynet kext that does this write protection and so, I can delete files in the backup like so.
sudo /System/Library/Extensions/TMsafetynet.kext/Helpers/bypass rm -Rfv /Volumes/TIMEMACHINEDRIVE/Backups.backupdb/whatever files to delete
And so, I removed and modified the files in the time machine backup slightly and migration assistant as well as time machine reflected the changes perfectly without error.
Next I deleted all that was in the time machine backup, I then moved the entire contents of my old drive into this time machine backup file in such a way as to mimic a normal time machine backup.
The good news is that time machine reads my jimmy rigged backup perfectly (which looks pretty wierd since there is no continuity between past and present), But migration assistant now does not see it.
If anyone is able to help that would be awesome. I replace bad hard drives all the time that won't copy with migration assistant, transferring the files manually isnt easy or clean. It's a pain.
Thanks a million for any advice!

Just reinstalled software and migrated data from Time Machine, now iMac does not recognize printer or camera

Under the direction of Apple Support, I recently erased my iMac (Intel) hard drive, reinstalled and updated software and migrated data from an external hard drive via Time Machine.
Now, after clicking on "PRINT", the print dialog box says "printing" then says "no pages found", and finally says "stopped"; and when I plug in my camera to download photos, the camera is not recognized. Both printer and camera are connected via USB.
I checked connections, verified printing and iPhoto preferences, turned printer off then on again, unplugged and replugged USB connections, and checked and followed directions in the Help menu.

Thanks very much, I'd just tried rkaufmann87's suggestion and entered "This solved my question" when your suggestion popped up—you deserve a "This solved my question" too, though I saw only an option for "This helped me".
Before I got rkaufmann87's suggestion, I repaired disk permissions and that resolved the camera problem. Both of you nailed the solution.
Thanks again!

What is the difference between upgradation and migration.

Hi Guru's
what is the difference between upgradation and migration.
actuallly i involved in upgradation project, here my role is
1. first i check the query's in 3.5 save the query and transport the query. and check the query in bex analyzer also.
2. go to BI .7 find the query;s ,give the query name and save the query ,
3. once save the query, again will come to 3.5 open the query , it will not open. this is my job here,
come to 7.0 check the query in analyzer also.
i am having littile bit confusion, how it will comes query in 7.0, why are u saving the query's in 3.5 and 7.0
query's already available in 7.0 why are u doing this work?
can i know the upgrades those objects, is it neccessary, if necessary how can i upgrade.
infoobje , transferrules, transferstructure ,infosoure, datasoure,updaterules, ods, cubes.
Points will be Assingned ,
Thanks & Regards
prabhavathi

Hi,
I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

How can I determine what sites are being referenced within Central Admin Upgrade and Migration Manage Databases Upgrade Status?

When I go to Central Admin > Upgrade and Migration > Manage Databases Upgrade Status, I have 2 content databases which have the status:
Database is up to date, but some sites are not completely upgraded.
How can I determine which sites are not completely upgraded?

Manage Databases Upgrade Status will provide you all active and offline DB details, you can get same result
using below PowerShell cmdlet.
Get-SPDatabase and Get-SPContentDatabase will provide all active database/Content DB in Farm which include Service application db, central admin DB.
Get-SPDatabase | Format-Table Name, ID
Coming back to your question, if you find that there are some site are not completely upgraded then run below command and understand the cause if issue on specific DB.
Test-SPContentDatabase WSS_ContentDB_Name
If you find any missing file issue in DB then resolve these issue to upgrade content database.
(verify all customizations referenced within the content database are also installed in the web application. This cmdlet can be issued
against a content database currently attached to the farm, or a content database that is not connected to the farm )
Use the Upgrade-SPContentDatabase cmdlet
to resume a failed database upgrade or begin a build-to-build database upgrade against a SharePoint content database
Upgrade-SPContentDatabase WSS_Content

OS7 browser problems on Torch 9810 (incl. dead touchscreen and migrating cursor)

The browser on the Torch 9810 has two interrelated problems. On certain mobile sites -- The New York Times in particular -- one will suddenly be unable to use the touchscreen to tap open links and the cursor will remain constantly visible, slowly migrating upwards without any input from the trackpad. This usually happens right after the first time one opens a link on the sites in question.
Also, certain sites -- again, the NY TImes, and also ESPN -- display what seems to be generic mobile sites much different from the versions that one sees on, e.g., the 9800. I imagine that this is because the sites do not recognize the 9810 browser's user agent string.
The first problem with the dead touchscreen and migrating cursor seems to be OS related, while the second one, I would guess, would seem to require mobile web site adminstrators or the like being made aware of the new user agent string.
I have the 9810 on AT&T. An update from the shipping OS (7.0.0.261) to the most recent OS I'm aware of (7.0.0.336) did nothing to resolve the first problem.
I'm hopeful that RIM will promptly address these problems.

Thanks for your response. I have already written the NY Times webmaster re: the user agent string. That site had a similar, but less annoying problem when the 9800 came out -- it recognized the 9800 as an iPhone. Presumably, they will address it. (I would not presume to tell the New York Times that it needs to be "more professional," however, unless you would presume to tell Le Monde that it needs to be "more professional." )
I'm not at all sure, though, that the sudden lack of touchscreen response and permanent/drifting cursor problem that occurs after clicking on a link is the website's fault. In all cases, the generic mobile website is simply the same version that would be encountered if one visited the site on a dumbphone. A smartphone should not react this way when being dumped over to the "dumbphone" site.
While it may be the website's fault for not being able to adequately handle a new user agent string, and consequently dumping one over to the dumbphone site version, I would think it is RIM's fault for not designing the browser so that it would not react this way on such a dumbphone site.
