Diagnostics Data for Virtual Machine and Cloud service

Hi,
We have an azure cloud account, contains Virtual Machine(Windows) with worker role and one Web Role. In this setup, we need to collect diagnostics data of virtual machine and cloud service. How to enable the diagnostics data in our setup and How to retrive
the data
I have read the below link says diagnostics data stores in WAD Table. How to read the data from table? Is there any query available.
Or can we get this data from REST API. We need the perfomance data of every 5 min . Please help me to solve this.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can configure Azure diagnostics by using Visual Studio. Azure diagnostics captures system data and logging data on the virtual machines and virtual machine instances that run your cloud service and brings transfers that data into your storage account.

  • Virtual network, virtual machine and cloud service

    Hi everyone
    I am new to Microsoft Azure and very confused about Microsoft VM and Virtual network relationship.
    I have a cloud service project created which has two worker roles in it and its deployed to Azure portal successfully, the problem is they need to connect to SQL database (which is on our prod machine outside of Azure) and in the config file of both these
    worker roles I have the cluser IP address added ( I believe its an internal Ip address),
    Now we have a virtual machine and a virtual network created on azure too (Not by me, so I have no idea how that is created)
    Some how I need to connect my cloud service to either the virtual machine or virtual network to get the sql connection going. What do I need to do to make that happen?
    How does the cloud service connect to virtual machine?
    I am so confused .. Please help with this.
    Thanks
    -Sarah

    Hi Sarah,
    Once an Azure VM is created, it belongs to a cloud service.
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-connect-virtual-machine/
    Do you mean that you want to create a VM in a virtual network and a cloud service?
    If yes, please follow the steps below:
    1. Create a Virtual network.
    2. Create a VM and select "create a new cloud service", and choose the virtual network you have created.
    3. After the VM is running, you can create other VMs into that exsting VM, and they will share the same public IP address and in the same virtual network.

  • HT201250 Can I partition my external hard drive and use one partion for time machine and the other one for data that i may want to use in different computers?

    I have this doubt. I've just bought an external drive, especifically a Seagate GoFlex Desk 3 tb.
    I want to know if it is recomendable to make a partion exclusively for time machine and let another one so I can put there music, photos, videos, etc that I should need to use or copy to another computer.
    May half and half, 1.5 tb for time machine and 1.5 tb for data.
    I have an internal hard drive of 500 GB (499.25 GB) in my macbook pro.
    Any recommendation?

    As I said, yes. Be sure your Time Machine partition has at least 1 TB for backups.
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.

  • Installing the New Virtual Machine and XP Mode in Win7x64 on the Intel 2x E5-2620 Architecture (12 cores, 24 cpus)

    I have been hibernating quietly at school with an Intel Core Duo T7300 on XP, and have been insulated from the madness of multi-core processors.  I gather that there were problems with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Vista under Quad architectures,
    but that these eventually got resolved in 2009.
    The newer problem is concerned with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Win7x64 with greater than four cores in the cpu architecture.  Others have mentioned this problem over this past Summer 2012.  The problem is that at the very last step of
    the complete install, Win7x64 reports a failure to install the XP Virtual Machine, and with no further comment.
    Apparently KB/2519949 gave a temporary (MSFT qualifies this as "temporary") hotfix solution to this problem for AMD 8-core chips in the Bulldozer series.  However MSFT cautions that this problem requires further research.  This was earlier
    this Summer 2012.
    My problem is that I have an Intel 2xE5-2620 duo-processor cpu architecture (2x6=12 cores, 24 cpus in Windows).  The cpu architecture is both Intel, and with far more than the old standard of four cores.  The XP Virtual Machine in Win7x64 will
    not install, as described above.
    I have an armload of new 64-bit software all of which has installed pristinely in Win7x64 under this 2xE5-2620 Intel architecture.  However, I have one very important piece of legacy (latest version incompatible beyond XP type of legacy) technical writing
    software that is critical to my PhD thesis.  In need the XP Virtual Machine for this, and I have no idea how to get it.  My PhD thesis supervisor also needs this particular piece of "legacy" technical writing software for his new book on Probability
    Theory.

    I have news about this issue with XP Mode on Workstation machines.  I have actually known about this for a couple of months, but it has not been until these Christmas 2012 holidays that I have had a chance to follow up with an implementation. 
    In review, I purchased a Workstation computer for scientific computation purposes this past August 2012.  My chipset is an Intel 2x E5-2620 for a total of 12 cores, and it turns out that this was not the problem for XP Mode.  My OEM shipped this
    machine with Windows 7, but without XP Mode, and there is a reason why.
    As an aside, it should be mentioned that the main line MSFT OS, Windows 7 or 8, is what I want for this machine, and not Server 2012.  The reason is that most of the scientific computation and technical writing software that I use is written only for
    Windows, and not for Server.  Then also hopefully Hyper-V can do in Windows 8 most of what XP Mode is doing for me in Windows 7.
    My dealer was able to tell me, when he got back from holidays in late September, that the reason that XP Mode failed to install on this Workstation, and the reason it was not included by the OEM, was that the original HDD configuration was for RAID (3 available
    bays) and formatted for drives of at least 1TB in size.  Although the original HDD installation was only a single HDD with only 500GB, the machine was equipped to have something much larger installed.  But this format excluded the possibility of
    XP Mode.
    So we changed the hard drive installation to something that I preferred.  We installed Windows 7 on a 480GB SSD, and I installed all my software on this drive, as well as all my important data.  Most importantly, since this drive is less than 1TB,
    we could use the MBR format which allows XP mode.  Then we also formatted the original HDD of 500GB in MBR, and decided to run it with Intel RST.  This second drive is for unimportant data, and large files.  For backup we chose a 2TB USB 3.0
    external.  In this setting, installing Windows XP Mode was easy, as the only thing we needed to do was modify BIOS to enable virtualization which was part of the Intel 2x E5-2620 chipset already.
    I am very pleased with XP Mode. The scientific writing software for my thesis that I was worried about does actually run in Windows 7 under compatibility mode, but there have been some huge advantages to installing in in XP Mode as well. I still have licensed
    copies of Office 2003, Acrobat Pro 9, and MathType 5.2, and other old software as well. I now have all new software, for example Office 2010 (64-bit), Acrobat Pro 10 (32-bit for 64-bit), and MathType 6.8 (64-bit), and lots of other things. However, now that
    I have my scientific wrtiting software (for which the maker has not caught up with Windows Vista/7) installed in XP Mode, I have also installed WORD 2003 with MathType 5.2 in XP Mode. My scientific writing software can translate WORD 2003/MathType 5.2 in RTF
    format to LaTeX. So lets hope these guys eventually catch up with Windows 7 and 8.
    I am also using XP Mode to archive a large block of my old data from the XP days. I still have licensed copies of the out of date software. And I would rather not update every single old file I have to a current format. So altogether, XP Mode is working
    out quite well.  It is very fast with my Intel 2x E5-2620 and maximum RAM.

  • Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine 'Machinename': Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001)

    When enabling replication on several VM's, I receive Hyper-V failed to enable replication for virtual machine "virtualmachinename": Incorrect funciton. (0x8007001). However this error doesn't happen to all VM's and it isn't related to any
    particular host.
    I've traced this down to a VSS error, however when running ">vssadmin list providers", I receive the following indicating there are no errors:

  • Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE).

    I have a 3 node cluster that has replica setup to replicate to another cluster off-site.
    Suddenly one of the servers is not replicating with the error:
    Hyper-V could not replicate changes for virtual machine 'machinename': The connection with the server was terminated abnormally (0x00002EFE). (Virtual Machine ID CC0FD4CC-F9B7-4C68-ABE8-B7D52A87899F)
    All other servers are replicating fine so there cannot be a permissions or connectivity issue between the 2 clusters.
    This server has 2TB of data so I'd rather not have to start the replication again.
    Does anyone have any pointers?
    Thanks.

  • HDD for Time Machine and other stuff

    Just a very short question.. Can I use my external harddrive for Time Machine and for example putting files on it to take it to my friend, or the otherway around, put files on it and take it back home?
    The reason I ask this is that I hooked up a USB HDD and it said I needed to clear all the data on the disk first before using Time Machine.

    As you probably already figured out.. I don't know anything about External HDDs. That's why I want you to ask which of those LaCies you would suggest for TM with 40GB of used data and it needs to be fast:
    1: http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=11022 (320GB)

    You could use an application like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to copy them to the new partition, but it's probably just as easy to drag the files/folders to the new partition, then delete the originals.
    and have all future storage pointed to that drive not the internal drive
    You probably don't really want to do that. Files you're using will be accessed much faster if they're on your internal HD.
    Another consideration is, you really should have backups of the moved files somewhere, in case you have a problem with the new drive. Although TM will back them up unless you exclude that partition, if the drive fails, you'll lose both copies.

    Hello,
    we have ordered the Personal Multiparty Basic for Virtual Machine (free with CUWL Pro).
    Now, we have received these PAKs:

    Several SKUs inside the PAKs "LIC-VTS-PMP-PAK" and "LIC-VMCNDTR-PMP-PK" with Quantity Available = 2.
    Now, since currently we have only 1 Cisco TelePresence Server and 1 Cisco TelePresence Conductor (so, no clusters at the moment), what we want to know is the following:
    Which PAKs do we have to use? In particular, do we have to use only 1 "LIC-CNDTR-PMP-K9" PAK, or both?
    Which exact quantities do we have to use from the various PAKs?
    In other words, are the second "LIC-CNDTR-PMP-K9" PAK and the SKUs with Quantity Available = 2 only for redundancy/clustering, or are they needed for other purposes?
    TIA and regards.

    There's no limitation in licensing Telepresence Server but the platform capacity itself.
    As far as you have the hardware that supports a such amout of screen licenses, you can fulfill them to this TS or vTS.
    In the At-a-Glance document, Cisco refers to several hardware platforms that goes from the least to the uttermost deployments. (from BE6K MD to Cisco TS MSE 8710)

  • Differences between Java Virtual Machine and Java HotSpot ??

    I am little bit confused between Java Virtual Machine and Java HotSpot.
    My understanding is:
    Java Virtual Machine is the environment to execute Java programs. I think I could understand this part.
    However, the description says, "The Java HotSpot product line consists of a server-side and a client-side virtual machine that share the Java HotSpot runtime environment, but have different compilers suited to the different performance characteristics of clients and servers."
    I am confused with server-side virtual machine. what is that?? Does it mean the environment to execute Java programs remotely through network?? For example, Java plug-in.?? Please advise.

    Hotspot is a JVM.
    Hotspot has different configuration settings. Some of those settings are better suited for a client application. Some are better suited to server applications.

  • How to get data for current week and previous week using customer exit in Bex.

    is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress  itunes  doesn't recognize the feed.
    my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
    garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
    share to itunes.
    drag file to desktop.
    upload .m4a file to google drive.
    create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
    click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
    i copy this url.
    go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
    itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
    when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
    i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
    still the same error message.
    i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
    wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
    this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

    if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

  • I want to use my 1TB Seagate Hard drive for time machine and transferring files from Mac to PC.

    For about a year I've been using my 1TB external hard drive for only time machine. To be honest, it wasn't until today that I tried to connect my hard drive to a PC and realize it isn't compatible. I read about partitioning the hard drive so that it can work both for time machine and transferring files between pc and mac. I'm not what you would call tech savvy, so I was wondering if I can get some advice on how to do this.
    Thanks in advance.

    To do it, you have to partition the hard disk, so you will have one partition for Time Machine and another one to store files and use them in a PC and Mac. To create the partition, follow these steps > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html
    In order to read and write in the external disk on the PC, you have to select "MS-DOS (FAT)" as "Format". If you choose any other option, the PC won't be able to read your external disk. Apart from that, note that you can't use files bigger than 4 GB with FAT. If you want to use the external disk with files bigger than 4 GB, you have to format your new partition in exFAT, and you have to do it on a PC
