Default Partition

I did a mistake.
I have removed default partition.
Now when registering new phones there is not this template anymore.
Does anybody know how to restore default partition and how to associate it to registration of new phones ?
Thanks in advance.

I'm totally lost here, first, the partitions is not even in the list when you browse CUCM, and if you somehow managed to delete it, it's far away from being a mistake.
I think you can only delete that one via CLI, and you shouldn't be even messing around with the DB that way.
And I'm not sure what link you're talking about.
If it's the one I have in my signature, you need to be a partner to access it.

How to override the 'default' partition in composite.xml - urgent

All,
Version: 11.1.1.4
I have created a simple BPEL A which invokes another BPEL B which is deployed to 'default' partition. In the composite.xml of BPEL A I can see the WSDL location of BPEL B as *"http://localhost:7001/soa-infra/services/default/BPELB/BPELB.wsdl"*. I noticed that the name of the partition (i.e in our case its 'default') is hardcoded in the wsdl location. During deployment I want to override to other partition, how I can achieve this?
thanks
sen

If you want to change the partion name at run time then used Token ,value concept and define it in build.xml
For Example
<target name="replaceAllValues">
<input
message="Please enter full path of the file directory:"
addproperty="dirPath"/>
<replace dir="${dirPath}">
<replacefilter
token="OldValue."
value="Newvalue"/>
</replace>
</target>
Call the above target from ant build.xml before you deploying the service.

Tarak.

Add default partition to composite partition key

I am partitioning :
PARTITION BY RANGE (key, DATE)
partition p1 VALUES LESS THAN (key value, quarter 1)
partition p_default values (default)
above is not letting me add the default partition:
ORA-14007: missing LESS keyword
How do I add the default partition

What is a "default" partition?
For partitioning demos go to Morgan's Library at www.psoug.org and look up PARTITIONING.

Configuring IPIB with non-default partition key

Hello
I want to put IB HCA port into non-default partition to create separate network on my IB fabric. On IB switch (Voltaire ISR9096) I created network with non-default partition key 0x7ffe and add HCA port to this partition.
But this IB-VPPA was displayed as unconfigured on Solaris host
ib::3BA0001004181,ffff,ipib    IB-VPPA      connected    configured   ok
ib::3BA0001004182,fffe,ipib    IB-VPPA      connected    unconfigured unknown

# cfgadm -c configure ib::3BA0001004182,fffe,ipib
Configure the device: /devices/ib:fabric::3BA0001004182,fffe,ipib
This operation will suspend activity on the IB device
Continue (yes/no)? yes
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: configure operation failed ap_id: /devices/ib:fabric::3BA0001004182,fffe,ipibI unconfigured VPPA with default partition key (0xffff) on HCA port 0x3BA0001004182 and issued cfgadm for VPPA with pkey 0xfffe again - the same effect.
I tried this on Solaris 10 8/07 and OpenSolaris b72 with the same result - no success ;)
Is it possible to configure VPPA with non-default pkey on Solaris ?
Is it possible to configure more than 1 IPIB VPPA on single HCA port ?
How to perform these configurations ?
Thanks in advance.

hi
I was able to setup the listener to serve both databases using netmgr, thanks. Apparently I was trying to use the wrong tool for this previously.
Now i'm able to access the EM Database Control and it seems to be working fine though i get the following error message
Logged in As SYS
Error
java.lang.Exception: Number of responses does not match queries
Database Instance: devel.foo.bar
Now, i'd like to be able to use EM for administering two separate databases (running on the same host). Do i need to migrate the database control somehow to grid control? How do i do that?
What about security? I'd like to use SSL and limit connections to selected clients only.

Default partitions taking up large amount of disk space

While investigating in Disk Management after having my Yoga 11s laptop for a few months, I noticed a bunch of partitions that are taking up a large portion of space on my computer. Which brought up a bunch of questions (related to the screenshot below):
What are the EFI System Partition and OEM Partitions?
Does the recovery partition work with that OneKey Recovery?
What does OneKey actually supposed to back up? Both the core OS files and all of the personal files/data?
Why are there two recovery partitions listed?
If the other 4 partitions are needed/used why are they all 100% free space.
Should I be storing personal files on the D: primary partition or C: partition?
The allocation of file space doesn't seem to line up with Lenovo's description here (which also mentions only 3 partitions, not 6): http://download.lenovo.com/express/HT062547.html
I just purchased a 2TB external drive and planned to partition it into two 1TB partitions and use one for backup and one for storage. In this case, do I need such a large recovery parition, or any at all on my computer?
I had planned on using the Windows 8.1 native File History for backups on the external. OneKey seems to be more of a manual backup process, but I'm trying to figure out the best why to backup both my own personal files and the system files themselves. What's the best why to set that up?
See screenshot:
Thank you for the help!

Thanks, I also found this article after some digging that explains the default partitions: http://www.lionhack.com/2013/12/25/lenovo-yoga-2-pro-partitions/
What's the reasoning behind Lenovo creating the separate C and D drives?

This behavior seems to me like bug. Because even moving subscriber to the default partition is not written in the documentation, this move
should also evoke modification of LDAP profile of subscriber to keep information about used partition aligned with physical occurrence.
Could you answer my question? And if it is really bug and you can reproduce it, is it fixed already in hot fix release?
Thanks.

I believe a support case was opened about this and the resolution was that you need to recognize that you are not only changing the name of the folders but also changing them from one userid (mailbox) to another (new_mailbox). The partition on which the folders should be stored should be defined by the mailMessageStore attribute on the user. If the destination userid does not exist in LDAP, it will use the default partition.
Also note the discussion under "To Change the Default Message Store Partition" in the Admin Guide:

T530 Default Partitions... Safe to Delete?

I've got a 2 year old T530 with regular 320GB HDD (not SSD) which came with Win8 preinstalled. When I received the laptop, I created the Win8 recovery USB stick and installed Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon alongside Windows 8.
Now, two years later, I've never used the Windows 8 installation and I'd like to get rid of it and install Mint 17 or Crunchbang linux, or both, and once that's done I'll remove the Mint 14 installation since it's at End Of Life in terms of patches and updates.
My initial question is regarding the Lenovo default partitions which are still on the drive. In the Linux Mint 'Disks' utility I've got the following partitions on the drive, reading from left to right:
Unlabeled /dev/sda5 1MB Type Unknown Contents Unknown
WINRE_DRV /dev/sda1 1GB System Recovery NTFS In Use: No
SYSTEM_DRV /dev/sda2 273MB EFI System Fat32 In Use: No
Unlabeled /dev/sda3 134MB MS Reserved Contents Unknown
Windows8_OS /dev/sda4 129GB Basic Data NTFS In Use: No
Unlabeled /dev/sda6 200MB Basic Data EXT4 /boot
Unlabeled /dev/sda7 18GB Basic Data EXT4 /
Unlabeled /dev/sda8 15GB Basic Data EXT4 /home
Unlabeled /dev/sda9 5GB Linux Swap swap
Storage /dev/sda10 152GB Basic Data NTFS /storage
I plan to wipe out /sda4 which is the Win8 partition, and use it for a new linux installation. However, what about partitions /sda1, /sda2, /sda3, and /sda5 in light of the two scenarios below:
Scenario 1: No intention of ever again using Windows 8 on this laptop...
Which partitions can I wipe out without damaging my ability to boot the laptop at all?
Scenario 2: I *might* want to eventually restore Windows 8 to the laptop
Which partitions can I wipe out now, to use for linux now, but possibly recovering Windows later (unlikely, but I'd like to know so that I understand the implications a little better).
Separate general question:
Do I need to keep the EFI System partition if I no longer have any intention of keeping Windows 8 on the machine? I'm worried that if I wipe it out the system will be unbootable even if I no longer have Windows 8 on it to begin with... I'm reading as much as I can about EFI but I'm still unclear whether that partition is necessary or can be safely wiped.
Thanks for any help and insight you can provide!

Regarding partitions on Lenovo preloaded win8 systems read this message with helpful links and explanations http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/New-G580-has-seven-partitions-Help-identify/m-... and the message #8 if you want to remove several partitions.
sda1...sda4 partitions are the same as 1...4 ones on standard Lenovo systems and in message above.
sda5 partition doesn't belong win8. Seems it's just unallocated area. I'm sure it could be removed.
Keep in mind usually System_DRV has active and boot attributes. In your case you have another such boot partition, definitely windows bootloader is replaced. It means you are not able to boot into the recovery area. Aren't you? So if you'll decide to recover win8 w/o external recovery media you'll are not able to perform that.
Also Lenovo recovery media should (!) allow to restore laptop to its factory condition with all partitions and attributes. Antire drive will be wiped. So to ensure try to perform the recovery on another drive and remove every win8 partition on your current primary drive w/o troubles.
Regarding EFI (and GPT partionoing scheme you have now) it's not easy to switch them to BIOS mode and MBR. No problem to return EFI/GPT settings when you'll decide to perform win8 recovery in the future.

Default partition name for Interval partitioned tables

Hi ,
Can we change the default partition names which are generated by Oracle.
For Example :
CREATE TABLE part_interval (
id NUMBER,
created_date DATE
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
PARTITION part_01 values LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
Now if I insert values which doesn't fall in the 01-NOV-2007 date, a new partition is created like SYS_P43. Can I change this default partition name in the SQL statement itself . Not through procedures or functions.
Regards,
Raghunathan A

4.15 default partition significance?

If I have more than one partition on a messaging server what does it affect by changing one to be the default partition?

There is an explanation on the admin guide, but what I remember when you create a user, and don't specify the partition, the user mailbox will be store on the default partition.

Default Partitions for lenovo Twist s230u

Hello,
I have a Lenovo Twist (s230u) and need to do a system recovery. Unfortunately, neither the F11 option is working nor recovering from win 8 itself. I do not have a win8 disk (wasn't supply with the computer) !
The only option I guess is to get a win8 drive and do a clean install. Before I do this and reformat the drive, can someone tell me what to do with the different partition on the HDD and the SDD ? I see the disk is divided into multiple partitions... Even if I do a clean win 8 installation, what should I do about the 260 Mb, 1000Mb and 7 Gb partitions (EFI, recovery and recovery respectively) Are they necessary ?
What about the SSD ? Technically I guess since it is separated, it shouldn't affected.
Thank you
Cyril

Hello and welcome,
Easiest - if your drive stays alive long enough - is to make a recovery flash drive and use that to restore to a new drive.
Methodology to create Recovery Media and reload a Lenovo system with Microsoft Windows 8 preload
If you have a MS Win 8 install DVD of the matching version you can just copy the contents to a FAT32-formatted flash drive and use that for a clean install. The license is in BIOS and shoud be picked up. (CAVEAT: I've done installs from flash, but not verified that the license is picked up.)
Note that the copy-to-flash install works for MS media but not for Lenovo recovery DVDs.
Worst case: use a USB DVD drive. Worst, worst case: purchase recovery DVDs from Lenovo support _and_ use an external drive.

Changing default partitions DV7 4010tx

I have just purchased a DV7 4010tx notebook (with 640GB HDD) and have noticed that it has 4 partitions C: (everything and anything), E: HP_TOOLS, D: RECOVERY and SYSTEM (no letter?).
I usually set up a separate data drive for ease of backup, but when I tried to, using disk management, I ran into a few problems.
After shrinking the C and trying to create an extra partition it wanted to turn basic drives into dynamic drives, but the help screens state that portable computers are unsuitable for dynamic drives. And after some searching I found a document on the business support forum that indicates that you should leave the HP_TOOLS alone (not add anything to the partition either).
So are there any options as I don't like having all my files floating around in 573GB C drive.....
Cheers
Sue

The Recovery partition can be used for data, after removing HP Recovery Manager. Be sure to burn your Recovery Disks before doing this!

MSI GS70 Recovery to factory default after formatted partitions

here is what happened, after getting my gs70 I installed Windows 7 on it. My mistake was I formatted all the partitions including the recovery partition without making recovery disks or back up. After installing Windows 7 I realized that my laptop is having BSOD due to driver issues.
So for weeks now I've been trying to get my laptop to it's factory default or back to Windows 8.
this is what I have so far. I have a friend that also owns the msi gs70 and I've asked him to make a recovery USB for me using the MSI BurnRecovery. The closest I've gotten was recover from it, now I am running Windows 8 with all the drivers and settings. But now my Windows 8 is not activated and is asking me to activate. Another problem I have is when I try to run BurnRecovery software from MSI it's stating that I dont have a recovery partition available and i dont have the default partitions or hidden recovery partition.
Please help...
thank you all, and happy new year

Hello riow,
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!
I understand you would like to recover the C drive on your computer. If you do it properly, the D drive will not be affected. For more information on how to do it properly, please refer to this document: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
I would definitely suggesting backing up your files in any way possible. I will provide instructions on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)
Please let me know your results. Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

How to format one partition from existing filesysem

Dangerous - the default partition type of a newly created partition is ext3. Which means the kernel will view that partition as a regular file system - and will attempt to mount and use it. A sysadmin will not know, looking at the type of partition, that it is not an ext file system, but in fact a raw device.
One needs to avoid this confusion - as it easily can trash your entire database's storage (diskgroup). With the only option being to restore backups that likely is out of date, or non-existent. (given the lackadaisical attitude to use a file system partition as a raw device, it is a reasonable assumption that backups are in a similar sorry state)
PS. and the question was how to use /dev/hda2 - you described removing that partition and then using /dev/hda1 (which will likely trash the root file system).

OK to use fdisk/100% "SOLARIS System" partition for RAID6 Virtual Drive?

Solaris newb, here - I am configuring an x4270 with 16 135 GB drives. Basic approach is
D0, D1: RAID 1 (Boot volume, Solaris, Oracle Software)
D2-D13: RAID 6 (Oracle dB files)
D14, D15: global spares
After configuring the RAID's w/WebBIOS Utility, I am now trying to format/partition the RAID 6 Virtual Drive, which shows up as 1.327 TB 'Optimal' in the MegaRAID Storage Manager. After hunting around the ether for advice on how to do this, I came across http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1459/disksxadd-50.html#disksxadd-54639
"Creating a Solaris fdisk Partition That Spans the Entire Drive"
which is painfully simple: after 'format', just do an 'fdisk' and accept the default 100% "SOLARIS System" partition. After doing this, partition>print and prtvtoc show this:

My question: is there anything inherently wrong with this default partitioning? Database is for OLTP & fairly small (<200 GB), with about 140 GB being LOB images.
Thanks,
Barry

First off, RAID-5 or RAID-6 is fine for database performance unless you have some REALLY strict and REALLY astronomical performance requirements. Requirements that someone with lots of money is willing to pay to meet.
You're running a single small x86 box with only onboard storage.
So no, you're not operating in that type of environment.
Here's what I'd do, based upon a whole lot of experience with Solaris 10 and not so much with Solaris 11, and also assuming this box is going to be around for a good long time as an Oracle DB server:
1. Don't use SVM for your boot drives. Use the onboard RAID controller to make TWO 2-disk RAID-1 mirrors. Use these for TWO ZFS root pools. Why two? Because if you use live upgrade to patch the OS, you want to create a new boot environment in a separate ZFS pool. If you use live upgrade to create new boot environments in the same ZFS pool, you wind up with a ZFS clone/snapshot hell. If you use two separate root pools, each new boot environment is a pool-to-pool actual copy that gets patched, so there are no ZFS snapshot/clone dependencies between the boot environments. Those snapshot/clone dependencies can cause a lot of problems with full disk drives if you wind up with a string of boot environments, and at best they can be a complete pain in the buttocks to clean up - assuming live upgrade doesn't mess up the clones/snapshots so badly you CAN'T clean them up (yeah, it has been known to do just that...). You do your first install with a ZFS rpool, then create rpool2 on the other mirror. Each time you do an lucreate to create a new boot environment from the current boot environment, create the new boot environment in the rpool that ISN'T the one the current boot environment is located in. That makes for ZERO ZFS dependencies between boot environments (at least in Solaris 10. Although with separate rpools, I don't see how that could change....), and there's no software written that can screw up a dependency that doesn't exist.
2. Create a third RAID-1 mirror either with the onboard RAID controller or ZFS, Use those two drives for home directories. You do NOT want home directories located on an rpool within a live upgrade boot environment. If you put home directories inside a live upgrade boot environment, 1) that can be a LOT of data that gets copied, 2) if you have to revert back to an old boot environment because the latest OS patches broke something, you'll also revert every user's home directory back.
3. That leaves you 10 drives for a RAID-6 array for DB data. 8 data and two parity. Perfect. I'd use the onboard RAID controller if it supports RAID-6, otherwise I'd use ZFS and not bother with SVM.
This also assumes you'd be pretty prompt in replacing any failed disks as there are no global spares. If there would be significant time before you'd even know you had a failed disk (days or weeks), let alone getting them replaced, I'd rethink that. In that case, if there were space I'd probably put home directories in the 10-disk RAID-6 drive, using ZFS to limit how big that ZFS file system could get. Then use the two drives freed up for spares.
But if you're prompt in recognizing failed drives and getting them replaced, you probably don't need to do that. Although you might want to just for peace of mind if you do have the space in the RAID-6 pool.
And yes, using four total disks for two OS root ZFS pools seems like overkill. But you'll be happy when four years from now you've had no problems doing OS upgrades when necessary, with minimal downtime needed for patching, and with the ability to revert to a previous OS patch level with a simple "luactivate BENAME; init 6" command.
If you have two or more of these machines set up like that in a cluster with Oracle data on shared storage you could then do OS patching and upgrades with zero database downtime. Use lucreate to make new boot envs on each cluster member, update each new boot env, then do rolling "luactivate BENAME; init 6" reboots on each server, moving on to the next server after the previous one is back and fully operational after its reboot to a new boot environment.
