DFS preseed with cloned HyperV VM

Hi All,
Just a quick question in regards to starting up DFS replication. We need to setup a secondary file server at a remote site with DFS replication. As this site is on quite a slow link is it possible to create a Hyper-V clone of our current file server, take
it to site, sysprep/rename etc. and then start DFS replication between the two servers?
Are there any issues that I must be aware of before doing this?
Thanks.

Hi,
If using sysprep then it is OK to "clone" a system. However you may need to reinstall roles and features. So actually it is still like a rebuild. See:
Sysprep Support for Server Roles
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722158(v=ws.10).aspx
Meanwhile, why could you move the VMs but not data? You mentioned to use DFSR in your original post. Then you still need to copy (or replication) files to target site.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

Problem with cloning Array

I got a problem with cloning a Point[] Array.
for example i have 2 Point-Arrays declared as Membervariables:
Point[] array1;
Point[] array2;then in the constructor i filled array1 with random Point Objects
and then
array2 = (Point[])(array1.clone());then i, for example, add 5 to the x-coordinate of every Point in array2.
for (int i = 0; i < array2.length; i++)
     array2.x += 5;
But array1's Point objects are also changed when i do that!
Shouldnt clone copy the whole array and leave no connection between them?
Thanks in advance

so i made a method copyArray where every point object's x and y value is copied into the new Array's new Point Object, but as it seems that isnt where the error comes from.
(That method works fine, the arrays are identical after that, but shouldnt reference to the same chunk of memory, right?)
then i run the following method on array2
array2 = (Point[])addFive(array2);
Point[] addFive(Point[] array)
                array[0].x += 5;
          return line;
     }Hence array2[0].x is instead of, e.g., zero 5
But array1[0] .x is 5 intead of 0 too!
Where's the mistake, where's the reference left? =X (and how do i fix it? :))

Using external drive with cloned 10.4.11

I'm thinking about getting a G4 Powerbook that has 10.5.8 installed.
I have a bootable cloned copy of my G4 Gigabit Ethernet start up drive on an external firewire drive. Would I be able to boot from and run 10.4 as well as Classic applications (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.) on the Powerbook?

Welcome to the forums!
That should work just fine. It’s usually impossible to run a Mac with an OS earlier than the one with with which it shipped, so with a G4 you ought to have no problem.

New install ZH77A-G43 with cloned Server 2003 won't boot in Safe mode

Hello,
I just installed a ZH77A-G43 into an existing PC box, new Core i3, new SATA CD and 500G drive, existing tape backup connected to a SCSI card. I cloned the new harddrive into 2 partitions, the first one being a bootable Server 2003. I installed the harddrive on another computer, and the partitions appear to be cloned correctly. When I boot off the new drive in the new hardware computer it gets to the Server 2003 splash screen, and then reboots during processing of acpitabl.dat (this is in Safe mode). I've tried booting from a Server 2003 installation CD, and that also results in a reboot.
I tried removing the SCSI card, and that results in a reboot before the MSI splash screen comes up.
This is the first time I've done a hardware change like this. The MSI instructions were very simple to follow and I was exciding to see the Server 2003 splashscreen after about 30 minutes of hardware installation. But now I'm stuck and request your help.
Regards, Philip

Hello xmad,
Thanks for the suggestions. The CD that wouldn't boot is Server 2003 64 bit--no service pacts. I just tried my VISTA CD and it came up and was ready to start the installation. The hardware is
Seagate 500G harddrive connected to SATA2
LG OEM DVDRW 24X internal connected to SATA1
2 sticks of DDR3 2GB 1333MHz
Quantum DLT-V4 tape backup drive connected to SCSI card
PSU is enclosed in a case labeled ANTEC DESIGN and I can't see any infor unless I take apart the enclosure.
I just removed the SCSI card, and the system reboots immediately after 1 second or so of the MSI splashscreen. With the SCSI card in, it reboots during the Server 2003 splashscreen (during processing of acpitabl.dat).
Should this system be compatible with Server 2003 64bit?
Should I next update the BIOS as you previously suggested?
Update: I currectly have BIOS E7758IMS V1.7

Check for mounted DFS share with exists in apple script

OS: OSX Mountain lion.
Can any one advise how to detect if a DFS share is mounted or not?
I have been using the following code:
set volumeLabel to "R$"
tell application "Finder"
exists disk volumeLabel
end tell
Which works fine with a normal SMB shares or attached hard drives but I cant get it to work with a DFS Share, it always returns false (see attached screen shot.
Also tried:
if volumeLabel is in (do shell script "/bin/ls Volumes") then
return true
else
return false
end if
Which didnt work with a DFS Share aswell.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,

Hi,
Since you're checking to see if a value exists in the Desktop key, you can do something along these lines:
If (Get-ItemProperty -Path 'HKCU:\Control Panel\Desktop' -Name SCRNSAVE.EXE -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
Write-Output 'Value exists'
} Else {
Write-Output 'Value DOES NOT exist'
EDIT: Sam, what version of PowerShell are you running? Your code doesn't seem to work for me on v4:
PS C:\> Push-Location
Set-Location "HKCU:\Control Panel"
$Result = Test-Path -Path ".\desktop\SCRNSAVE.EXE"
Pop-Location
$Result
False

On SCVMM 2012 R2 While adding Loadbalancer with NSVPX-HyperV-10.1-119.7_nc, the Retrieve-LBSystemInfo test fails with Error 21426

Hi,
I'm trying to add Citrix LoadBalancer (NSVPX-HyperV-10.1-119.7_nc) in VMM 2012 R2 and on click of test button, only the "Retrieve-LBSystemInfo" test is failing with Error Code 21426 and exception as below. Whereas, rest of
the test are getting passed.
Can anyone please let me know whether am I missing anything? FYI, I configured citrix lb as per blog: http://kristiannese.blogspot.in/2011/07/load-balancing-and-cloud-computing.html

Your problem sounds similar to this one, except that they're using software raid rather than just pure LVM. If you're using an initrd, you may not have the appropriate modules installed. If you're not using an initrd, then the kernel probably needs LVM support compiled in (not as a module) and could be solved by fixing that. I have never used the ck-patchset, but this should give you an additional data point.
Also comment=systemd.automount will be deprecated soon as I understand it; if you have a need for automounting, x-systemd.automount should be used instead.

NSM 3.0.3.9 not seeing DFS Namespace with two taget paths.

I am currently running NSM 3.0.3.9 (Evaluation copy) on a server 2008 r2 file server which is a member of a domain.
When cofigured DFS with one target path I could see the storage via the storage resource list in NSM however, when added a second path for redundency and created a replication group, I could then no longer see the storage via the storage manager list.
The second UNC path has been put into the description field {{\\dca-filesrv\homedrive}} and it still won't see the DFS storage.
Any suggestions?

Safe To Replace Original HDrive with Cloned Backup? OS X 4.11

Hi,
I recently encountered problems with loads of my Preferences settings going missing (posted a thread here
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22128817#22128817 )
But a thought occurred to me: I have a perfect CCCloned Backup Drive of my original HD that I did 6 weeks back.
Can I use this to overwrite the existing Hard Drive - i.e. make the Clone the internal drive?
I'd imagine first I'll need to bootup from the Cloned disk. Then, I could choose the internal HD as the destination.
If so, I guess I will I need to format the original HD and what pitfalls should I watch out for? Am I going to do more harm than good?
Note: I thought of simply finding my old .plist preference files on the Cloned drive and replacing the original, so as to get the system back to the way it was before preference-wise - but oddly the .plists for mac/mail.plist etc weren't on the Cloned drive. For a layman like me that seems strange.
Thanks,
Adrian

You can hold the option/alt key down on a wired or built in keyboard and boot from the clone drive, grab the latest copies of your files and reverse clone your troubles away (currently doing that right now and typing here too. )
All your software and OS X will have to be updated of course.
You can find the
com.apple.mail.plist
file in the User/Library (hidden in 10.7 and up)
However since it's just a preferences file for Mail, you can delete it and reboot the machine and launch Mail, a new preferences file is automatically created with no preferences of course.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
https://discussions.apple.com/community/notebooks/macbook_pro?view=documents#/?p er_page=50
If you do plan on reverse cloning, do take the extra step first to use Disk Uilitiy to Zero Erase the Macinstosh HD partition (if on 10.7 or above) or the entire drive (10.6 no BootCamp) as to catch any potential failing sectors.
10.7+ you need to move the slider one space to the right, do not do anymore as it's not necessary and takes a really long time.
10.6 you use Security Option > Zero and then click erase.

Photoshop cc 2014 suddenly trouble with cloning and healing tool

I just updated photoshop cc 2014. I use a wacom tablet. Suddenly, when I use the healing brush or cloning brush. The brush control panel pops up and the tool simply doesn't work. After repeated attempts, I do succeed in getting this to work. Sure slows me down though.

Sorry for the lack of the report it was my first time reporting an error for software... Never had an issue before.
I haven't experienced the crash via text tool since I posted the question, but the Photoshop is still constantly crashing at startup, but every time I try to enter the report I get the error: Please try again later.m5

XML Gurus: help with cloning a node without using clone!

Dear all,
I have to copy one piece of XML from one part of the document to another. Unfortunately I cannot simply do a copy and paste:
Node nodeLeaf = nodeChild.cloneNode(true);
nodeAncestor.appendChild(nodeLeaf);
because some fragments of the nodeLeaf mustn't be copied (depending on the node value)
So I cannot make a deep clone of the leaf.
I have to make a clone of nodeLeaf by myself. (Copying its child with a recursive function)
I have built a recursive function but I cannot understand why it doesn't work correclty (text values are skipped and also some pieces of the xml aren't copied correclty)
// Passing the full leaf and a leaf with only the first tag, under which I clone manually the nodes.
Node copyNode = appendNodes(nodeLeaf, nodeLeaf.cloneNode(false));
private Node appendNodes(Node node, Node copyNode) {
NodeList kids = node.getChildNodes();
int length = kids.getLength();
if (kids != null) {
for (int ii = 0; ii < length; ii++) {
Node nodeKid = kids.item(ii);
copyNode.appendChild(nodeKid.cloneNode(false));
appendNodes(nodeKid,nodeKid);
return copyNode;
Anybody can give me a help ?
thanks a lot
Francesco

Here are a couple of suggestions:
1) General stuff.
NodeList kids = node.getChildNodes(); will always generate a NodeList. It may have no entries, but there is no need to check for if (kids != null). Your for loop will do nothing if the length is zero.
2) You need to change your code as follows:
for (int ii = 0; ii < length; ii++)
   Node nodeKid = kids.item(ii);
   Node newOutputNode = nodeKid.cloneNode(false);
   copyNode.appendChild(newOutputNode);
   appendNodes(nodeKid,newOutputNode);

Problem with cloning a DataSource

Hello!!
I have cloned a DataSource and used the cloned DataSource(not the original DataSource which i used for cloning) for transmitting via RTP. I don get any exception or any error but the audio isn't getting transmitted.
(I tried receiving the transmitted audio stream using JMF.. But JMF doesn't detect any)
However when i use the DataSource(which i used for cloning) it worked..
dl=CaptureDeviceManager.getDeviceList(new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.LINEAR));
ml=((CaptureDeviceInfo)dl.firstElement()).getLocator();
+staticsource=Manager.createCloneableDataSource(Manager.createDataSource(ml));             //staticsource has been declared as static and i tried to clone it to produce new DataSources whenever i need+
source=((SourceCloneable)staticsource).createClone();
+p=Manager.createProcessor(source);
// I tried using staticsource and it worked but i need to get it right using the cloned one..+
I think i have explained my problem pretty clearly.. Sorry if i din..
Thanks!!

Thanks for the help sir.. I read a previous post of yours which helped me to track down the mistake.. It was a small mistake in my logic.. I had not used the DataSource I used for cloning to create the processor(which means I din use it)..
When I used that also to create processor the clones produced from that DataSource worked.. I have posted the modified code below..

Help with cloning an element

I've included a screenshot.

Any help from the community is appreciated; thanks in advance!

Thans for the response; the camera does not move; the whole shot is static. I thought about simply using Photoshop, but I assume (dangerous word, I know) that it would look "weird", since I'd be meshing a still image with a moving, grainy one.

Failure with cloning database structure and then restore from source db

Hello, dear experts!
I am trying to duplicate a database.
First step was to use the DBCA to create a template. Because there is no downtime possible, I only created a template of the structure without user schema and without objects.
At another destination I used this template to create a new database "CLON".
This worked successful. The database is up and running. (But quite empty).
Then I transferred the latest full backup of my source database to the new database. I have the same structure at the destiantion as at the
source.
Now I want to use rman restore to build up the clone with this backup. Therefore I start RMAN and connect to the target without catalog.
"RMAN> restore database;"
leads to:

"RMAN> list backup;"
does not show any results.
"RMAN> crosscheck backup;"
Zugewiesener Kanal: ORA_DISK_1
Kanal ORA_DISK_1: SID=17 Gerõtetyp=DISK
"RMAN> list backup;"
does not show any results.
To me this looks as if RMAN does not identify the/any backup.
What has to be done to solve the problem?
Thank you in advance,
Hergen.

Hi, I assume that by clone you mean a duplicate of the DB including ALL tablespaces and not just a few right? YOu want to also rename the DB according to what I read.
As a note, your new database does not see the backups because you do not connect to the catalog, and you have no backup info as a result.
Correct me if I am wrong if I misundestand your situation:
First if you want to duplicate, you do not need to create an empty DB. Just create an new instance without any controlfiles or datafiles. Then you restore your rman backup
You could perhaps adapt this procedure I have used recently to clone databases with RMAN backups: You just need RMAN backups, taken as hot backups is fine. You also need the controlfile autobackup from RMAN. If you do not want to use the catalog, you can use the controlfile as catalog, and register the backup info to the controlfile, then restore.
Here is the procedure:
RMAN RESTORE DB FROM COMPLETE LOSS (without use of catalog)
1-     Install oracle db home and patch.
Note: As much as possible, patch to the same version of the DB to be restored. If you do not, you should patch to a later release (do not do this if at all possible, as problems may occur). After opening with reset logs, you will have to startup with the upgrade option and run the cat upgrade script to update the DB to the current patchset.
2-     Install or configure an instance on the desired node. It is not necessary to create a database.
a.     Run oradim to create the instance.
Oradim –new –SID sid –SYSPWD sysdbapass –STARTMODE manual|automatic –PFILE ‘….path to pfile….\initsid.ora’
NOTE: The pfile is optional, required if you do not use a spfile
b.     Create and configure a listener, as rman requires oracle net connectivity.
i.     Use oracle utilities to create listener.
ii.     Use oracle utilities to configure listener to register the instance just created. (or manually edit the listener.ora file).
c.     Configure a tnsnames.ora file so that rman can reach the database through the listener.
d.     Create all directories for datafiles, admin, redologs, archive, flash_recovery_area etc if required.
3-     Create a pfile or get one (ideally the backups should include it).
a.     Change paths in the pfile to reflect new file structure. Also change any settings that are relevant.
Note: if using an spfile, then the rman controlfile autobackup will have it. In that case startup in nomount, start RMAN after setting ORACLE_SID=sid, with ‘RMAN target / NOCATALOG.
Run this in rman
RUN {
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO ‘………………..\CONTROL_%F’;
RESTORE SPFILE TO PFILE ‘………\initsid.ora’ FROM AUTOBACKUP;
SHUTDOWN ABORT;
NOTE:
-     If you do not have a specific archive file location (archivelog mode only) the flash recovery area size may need to be increased, depending on the number of archive files to recover.
-     If restoring to a different instance (want to restore an old backup to a different db name, set the db_name in the pfile the same as the db name in the backups. You can rename the db later.
4-     Get the backups desired to restore the DB, and make them available to the node where the restore is to be done.
5-     Startup the database in nomount mode. Startup the service is necessary, then startup the database in nomount mode: specify the pfile location if not in a standard location.
‘STARTUP NOMOUNT PFILE=’……\initsid.ora’’;
6-     Get DB id from controlfile autobackup. Get the most recent controlfile autobackups from the backup files, and find the database id. Below is an example
# CONTROL_c-XXXXXXXXXX-YYYYMMDD-ZZ
# XXXXXXXXXX IS THE DBID
7-     START RMAN after setting ORACLE_SID=sid, with ‘RMAN target / NOCATALOG’.
8-     SET DBID. Get the dbid from above. Run ‘SET DBID XXXXXXXXXXXX;’
9-     Restore controlfile
RUN {
SET CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '… \CONTROL_%F';
RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;
ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
NOTE: If restoring old files, then you must add MAXDAYS=xxx to the restore controlfile command, so that it will find the desired file. Default is 7 days. (explaining why it can’t find older then 7 days).
10-     Catalog backup files. It is probable that the backup files restored will be in a different location once restored (applicable to disk backups). You need to catalog them in RMAN so that RMAN knows about them. List all backup files and run these commands for each backup and controlfile autobackup:
‘CATALOG BACKUPPIECE ….\CONTROL_C-310452700-20070918-01';’
‘CATALOG BACKUPPIECE …\BACKUP_HEIS8FIK_1_1';
NOTES: If the backups are in the same location as they have always been, then a recatalog is not necessary, as the control file has the right backup files information.
If the backups were restored to a different location, then a recatalog must be done so that RMAN can find them. If the regular location of backups is not available, then rman needs to be updated to reflect that. In that case run these commands:
     CROSSCHECK BACKUPS;
     DELETE EXPIRED BACKUP;
     CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
     DELETE EXPIRED ARCHIVELOG ALL;
If this is test restore (to test disaster recovery for example), likely all the backups are still there, but it is desired to use the restored backup files only. RMAN needs to be updated to reflect that the regular backups do not exist. Make the regular backup files unavailable to RMAN (such are renaming a directory, or preventing access through security), and then run the above commands.
11-     Find the datafile names and numbers. This is only required if datafiles are in a different location on the database to be restored.
Using SQLPlus, set the oracle_sid, then run sqlplus / ;
Run the following command
     Select file# as “file/grp#’, name from v$datafile; (for datafiles).
     Select group#, member from v$logfile. (for redologs)
12-     Restore the database
(use only if all datafile locations are the same!)
RUN
# allocate a channel to disk
ALLOCATE CHANNEL c1 DEVICE TYPE DISK MAXPIECESIZE 2 G FORMAT '…path…\BACKUP_%U';
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;
(use if datafiles are not in the same location)
RUN
ALLOCATE CHANNEL C1 DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT ‘…\BACKUP_%U';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO ‘….\SYSTEM01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '…\UNDOTBS01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '…\SYSAUX01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '…\USERS01.DBF';
SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 5 TO '…\TOOLS_01.DBF ';
# add other tablespace locations here.
# We need to tell the controlfile the new location for the redologs
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO01.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO01.LOG''";
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO02.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO02.LOG''";
SQL "ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ''…\REDO03.LOG'' TO      ''…\REDO03.LOG''";
RESTORE DATABASE;
# we need to tell the controlfile the location of the new datafiles.
SWITCH DATAFILE ALL;
RECOVER DATABASE;
13-     Reset the logs. ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS;
NOTE: If the oracle home is of a newer revision then the database, the open resetlogs will generate an error. In that case open the database with the upgrade option and then run the catalog upgrade as per patch instructions.
14-     Create a temporary tablespace. The system thinks it has a temp tablespace, but it needs to be recreated
a.     Create another temp tablespace (modify as needed).
     CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2
          TEMPFILE '......\temp02.dbf' SIZE 128M REUSE
          AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 16M MAXSIZE unlimited
          EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M;
b.     Point the server to the new file
ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp2;
c.     Delete the missing one:
          DROP TABLESPACE temp INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
d.     RECREATE THE temp tablespace;
          CREATE TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp
               TEMPFILE 'd:\......\temp_01.dbf' SIZE 128M REUSE
          AUTOEXTEND ON NEXT 16M MAXSIZE unlimited
          EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 1M;
e.     Change system default tablespace again to temp:
          ALTER DATABASE DEFAULT TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
f.     Delete the transition temp tablespace temp2:
DROP TABLESPACE temp2 INCLUDING CONTENTS AND DATAFILES;
15-     Rename the database if the restored database name needs to change.
Use the nid utility to rename the db. IMPORTANT: the temporary tablespace needs to exist for this to work, or the db rename will fail and a restore will have to be done.
Use :
-     Shutdown database in immediate mode.
-     Startup in nomount.
-     Open command prompt.
-     set oracle_sid = sid
-     nid sys/pass dbname=newname logfile=….\logfile.txt
-     shutdown the db (if required)
-     Change the dbname in the pfile or spfile to the new dbname
-     Create a new password file:
o     Orapwd file=….. password=…
IMPORTANT NOTE: if you rename a DB, your existing backups will not be valid, do backups of the newly renamed db!!!
16-     Open the database and test.
NOTE: Whenever you open with resetlogs, YOU MUST BACKUP YOUR DATABASE. Your old backups can only be used to restore the old DB.
I hope this helps.
