Does OVM Manager require access to SAN/NAS VLAN

Hello everyone,
In our setup OVM Manager is installed on its own physical server, using for storage the local disk. Does the storage discovering process requires OVM Manager to have access to the SAN/NAS VLAN, or is this going through the OVM Servers again as it happens during the initial servers' discovering?
Thanks,
Nikos

Hi Nikos,
no, the OVMM doesn't need access to any of the storages the OMV servers are connected to. It is all done through the ovs-agents running on the OVM servers. Those query the hardware and available storage upon the discovery process.
Cheers,
budy

Why does iPhone backup require access to the Internet?

While syncing my iPhone, iTunes first performed a backup. My firewall reported that the backup phase of the sync required access to the Internet. Why would the backup require access to the internet unless it was sending some information?
This makes me a bit worried that some of my personal data is being sent to Apple without my permission.

Whenever your phone is synced and iTunes recognizes there are new crash reports, a program called MDCrashReportTool sends these reports to Apple. Apple then funnels the reports to the correct app developer's iTunes Connect account. No personal information is transmitted.
If this bothers you(it shouldn't), you can turn off the sending of the crash reports:
Right-click on the phone in iTunes, and click "Reset Warnings." The next time you sync, itunes will ask if you want to send the reports. Un-check the "Do not ask me again" option, hit "Don't Send," and you're good to go.

Thnaks for the update,

Our network configuration is, LACP (net13+net17), and vnics with vlan tags on top assigned to zones or vsw on top of the aggr1 assigned to OVM for SPARC.

The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required.

i am trying to run automated tests
i follow the steps in the web but when i have 2 issues that does not solve
1. i created console project and add build definition without drop folder and queue builds that success.
2. i created C# unit test and add build definition and run it from VS and it worked and done what i want to do.
3. i built lab with 1 machine and define the controller on this pc ( the machine in the lab is another pc)
4. i created test suite with test cases and from vs 2013 i associated automation nethod that i created in 2.
5. when i try to associate the builds for the test plan i have a PROBLEM(1):
this happened every new build that i try to assign - all the builds appears after refresh and when i press assign to plan button
a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist " but he chose it in build in use but there no work item under it - the list is empty even that there are 2 tests under this test suite.
and than when i try to run the automated tests i have this PROBLEM(2):
The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed.
Please Help
Roey

Hi Rory,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
According to the error message:
(1) a pop up shown with error : " The build that you selected for this plan no longer exist "
I tried to create a build definition without the drop folder location for unit test solution from the VS IDE, and then I try to select the Build in use option to add the Available builds, then click this Assign to plan. I found that I get same error message
with yours like the following screen shot.
However, when we try to create a build definition with drop folder location for this same unit test solution and then build successfully in the VS IDE.
After you add the Available builds and then click this Assign to plan in the MTM, it work fine.
Therefore, I assume that the issue is related to that you did not specify a build directory for automated test case. MTM need to know where is the drop location of the build building your tests.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20033217/couldnt-run-my-test-using-microsoft-test-manager
In addition, I did some research about the problem 2:"The build directory of the test run either does not exist or access permission is required. and the test failed."
I know that the error message occur in either of the following conditions:
1. The account under which test controller is running does not have read permission on the build directory. (The build directory is same as the drop location of build associated with this test run.)
2. The build directory itself does not exist.
So please refer the following blog to check this issue:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aseemb/archive/2009/11/25/error-starting-the-test-run-build-directory-of-the-test-run-is-not-specified-or-does-not-exist.aspx
Therefore, I suggest you can try to specify a drop location for build when you run the automated test from the MTM and then check this issue.

Cannot delegate Reporting Services Web access to domain user / group, User does not have required permissions

Hi
I have an SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 installation on a Server 2008 R2 + SQL 2008 R2.
I'm having trouble delegating Reporting Services Web Access to a standard domain user.
I have followed the instructions from these blogs:
http://blog.coretech.dk/kea/creating-the-reporting-user-role-in-configmgr-2012/
http://www.wolffhaven45.com/blog/sccm/assigning-users-to-configmgr-reportusers-group-in-sccm-2012/
No matter how I try, I cannot get the reports to show for a standard domain user. In the console no reports are showing and in the web access I get
"User domain\user does not have required permissions........"
The only thing that is consistenly working when I test is to put the AD Group on the Security Role "Full Administrator".
Then everything will show up.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks everyone for helping me with tips. I have now solved the problem. It was the permissions from SCCM that did not replicate to the Reporting Server.
In srsrp.log I got these error messages:
Could not retrieve the reporting service name for instance 'MSSQLSERVER'
Invalid class
Could not stop the reporting serviceAfter googling a litte I found these 2 sites with similiar problems:http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d4a7f93a-506f-4e3f-b5fc-bd2b087277da/ssrs-permissions-do-not-add?forum=configmanagergeneral
http://www.microtom.net/microsoft-system-center/software-distribution/sccm-2012-reporting-services-do-not-install
So I ran the command for SQL 2008 R2: mofcomp.exe C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Shared\sqlmgmproviderxpsp2up.mof
and BAAM, everything started to work =)

Does OVM 3 support network I/O management and storage I/O prioritization

Does OVM 3 support any QoS setting for networking and/or storage? If so how are they set? I have been looking and can't seem to locate these settings.
In OVM 2.2 network I/O traffic management and storage I/O prioritization could be set as described in this 2.2 blog posting.
http://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/entry/oracle_vm_22_new_feature_cpu_s
Thanks

It is not manageable through the GUI but can be changed in the vm.cfg file. Example:
vif_other_config = [['00:16:3e:31:d5:4b', 'tbf', 'rate=8mbit,latency=50ms'], ['00:16:3e:52:c4:03', 'tbf', 'rate=10mbit']]
- ingress
vif = ['mac=00:16:3e:31:d5:4b,bridge=xenbr0,rate=10Mb/s@50ms'] - egress

Does acrobatupd11010.msp require internet access?

I'm trying to install Acrobat update 11.0.10 onto Acrobat Professional 11.0.0.
I get to 99% completion and then it rolls back. PDApp.log shows errors about not being able to get the proxy. Does this update require internet access to install successfully?
I'm on Windows 7 64 bit.

I'm able to install quarterly updates sequentially up to 11.0.6. Starting with 11.0.7, I see errors about a proxy config url that should not exist any more. (Was deployed by Group Policy but has been removed). Help.

No direct attachment of SAN disks to VM possible in OVM Manager

For performance reasons I'd like to attach a SAN disk directly to a VM. This is possible in the vm.cfg file:
disk = ['file:/OVS/running_pool/53_EL5U1_X86_64_PVM_4GB_oracle10g/system.img,hda,w',
'file:/OVS/running_pool/53_EL5U1_X86_64_PVM_4GB_oracle10g/oracle10g_x86_64.img,hdb,w',
*'phy:/dev/mapper/testdisk,hdc,w',*
It works perfectly and direct IO from the VM to this disk is 10 times faster than through a virtual disk on OCFS.
Is this supported by Oracle? When will it be configurable in OVM Manager?
Regards
Michael

I believe it is supported by Oracle, but you're better off checking directly with Oracle support. Hopefully it'll be configurable in Oracle VM Manager eventually, but that's just a wish from me too. :)

Can't Create a Data Source - Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied

Hi there,
I am having a serious issue with The Power BI Data Management Gateway which I am hoping that someone can help me with.
Basically I am setting a connection between a Power BI demo site and a SQL 2012 Database based on Azure. The Data Management Gateway and is up and running, and Power BI has managed to connect to it successfuly.
By following the tutorials at
here I was able to successful create my Data Connection Gateway with a self-signed certificate.
However, when trying to create the data source I come into problems. The Data Source Manager manages to successfully resolve the hostname, as per the screenshot below:
Bear in mind that I exposed the require ports in Azure as endpoints and I managed to modify my hosts file on my local machine so I could access the SQL server hosted in Azure using its internal name -- otherwise I would not be able to get this far.
However the creation of the data source also fails when trying to created it whilst logged in the SQL server in question:
The Data Source Manager returns the error when using the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server:
Failed to test connection. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I tried using the SQL Server Native Client 11.0 instead but I also get an error. This time the error is:
Failed to test connection. Login timeout expiredA network-related or instance-specific error has occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. Server is not found or not accessible. Check if instance name is correct and if SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. For more information see SQL Server Books Online.Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53].
Some considerations
If I provide an invalid username/password, the Data Source Manager does say that the username and password is incorrect.
Firewall is turned off in the SQL Server (either way, this error also happens if I try top use the Data Source Manager whilst logged in the SQL Server itself).
SQL Profiler does not show any attempt of connection.
The SQL server instance in question is the default one.
The error happens regardless if I select the option to encrypt connection or not.
In SQL Configuration manager I can see that all protocols are enabled (TCP/IP, Named Pipes and Shared Memory.
The Event Viewer does not provide any further errors than the one I have copied in this post.
I'm at a loss here. Could someone please advise what might I be doing wrong?
Regards,
P.

Here is what I had to do to solve this issue:
Basically I had to add the MSSQL TCP/IP port as an end-point in Azure. After I did that, then I was able to create the data-source. However, I was only able to authenticate with a SQL account, as any domain account would return me an error saying that the
domain isn't trusted.
What puzzles me here is how come the Data Source Manager would inform me that an account username/password was invalid, but it would fail/timeout if I provided valid credentials (!?!?!!?)

Oracle EM and OVM management--where to start?

We are interested in evaluating EM for OVM control, but after a quick glance through the docs it's by no means clear how to start. We have not used EM before this and it's a daunting prospect.
What I'm interested to know is:
1. What is the minimum amount of parts I need to download and install to get OVM management under EM working for a simple environment?
2. Does it really require a full oracle DB installation or will it work with XE?
3. What plugins and agents etc. are/are not required?
It looks simple enough on paper but the EM framework has an enormous amount of apparatus most of which it seems we don't need.
Any pointers greatly appreciated!
Charles Meo

First this is such task where you will learn more but sorry to say it will also take Time. This is not one/two days task.
Yes how to start
==========
I will suggest first dont go with user guides/Implementation Guide, for newbie they are little bit hard as my understanding.
Read small Blogs/Articles and have fast understanding and then go with user guides/Implementation Guide .
These are some article are there web that can hep you

OLE DB or ODBC error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied

Hi,
I have one client and one server. In both hosts I created an OS-user named User1.
The user have been given various role under the prefix SQLServer2005.
The default instance of SQL Server and instance (background-process) of
Analysis Service are also run under User1.
I connected via Management Studio to Analysis Service directly in the
server. I set the permission to access Analysis Service to Everyone.
This means everyone should be able to use Analysis Service. I have set
ODBC data source to the server. Testing was successful.
I created a project to create a cube. The tables are fairly small (total 300 MB, biggest one 290).
On project setting (created at client) I set the server host as
deployment target. I managed to deploy project when all I have are Data
Source and Data Source Views.
But on deployment I always failed. The errors remain the same, begins with
OLE DB error: OLE DB or ODBC error: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.; 08001.
I have tried 4 combinations of Impersonation :
(A) Use a specific username and password
* in which I supply User1 and the password of User1
(B) Use the service account
(C) Use the credentials of the current user
(D) Default
Why is this? The server does certainly exist. I think the error message is wrong.
I have seen 3 posting that seems related. One of them say the solution is giving the right impersonation, but gave no detail. About the privilege, User1 are granted the role of
SQLServer2005MSOLAP. What is the solution?
Thank you,
Bernaridho

I just had this problem and solved it by creating an alias in SQL Server Configuration Manager, as below:
Scenario: My SQL server is accessible from the internet under my.domain.com, and from itself at ServerName. But the local network can't see itself through the router at my.domain.com, so the deployed project is unable to process the cube, since that would
require Analysis Services to be able to see the SQL Server at my.domain.com, which it can't do.
So I changed the server in my project from my.domain.com to ServerName, and I created a local alias to ServerName in SQL Server Configuration Manager, under SQL Native Client 11.0 Configuration, Aliases. In my case, I pointed it to localhost port 1333, and
used SSH -L 1333:my.domain.com:1433, but I could have pointed the alias directly to the server, just as well. (Verifying... yes, that worked too, so you can forget SSH if you have no interest in it.)

HR Auths - Manager has access to employee in OOSB but cannot access record

Hi,
I currently have a problem where a manager (M1) has the A012 relationship to an org unit (O1), however org unit (O2) reports (O1). Employees in org unit (O2) report to a supervisor who in turn reports to manager (M1).
I assumed that with structural authorisations in place the manager (M1) would have access to employees from O1 & O2 - however it seems that the manager can only view/access employees from O1 which is the org unit that the manager is part of.
If I take a look at the records that the manager can access via structural authorisations in OOSB, employees from both org units appear in the list. However when the manager attempts to create a leave record for any employee in O2 he gets an authorisation error.
I have ensured that the depth field for the structural authorisations is blank.
For object type O - I use eval path O-O-S-P and the function module RH_GET_ORG_ASSIGNMENT. For object type P - I use the eval path O-O-S-P and the function module RH_GET_MANAGER_ASSIGNMENT.
I have changed an employee from O2 to report to the manager (M1), but this still does not correct the problem.
Can anyone assist with this problem?
Thanks in advance
Sujeet

Hi,
Verify if the trace is showing authorization failure for other Objects like PLOG.
as this might require access to new HR Objects (with infotypes like 1001)pertaining to leave record creation.
verify 0105 entry exists for all the persons in context
Second thing is te evaluation path might not be the correct on in some cases.
For troubleshooting add the ALL PD profile and see if the user is able to perform the actions if he is then the problem is with the PD profile. if he is not able to do that even with that then the problem is with authorizations.
Hope this helps

Hi Joseph_SQL,
The following operating systems limit the overuse of elevated permissions by removing administrator permissions when accessing applications: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server
2008 and Windows Vista.
Because the noted operating systems limit permissions, members of the local Administrators group run most applications as if they are using the Standard User account. To avoid open Report Manager in Internet Explorer always using Run as administrator option,
we can refer to the following configuration steps:
Add Reporting Services URLs to trusted sites.
Report Manager Folder Settings
Report Manager Site Settings
For more details about how to configure the settings, please refer to the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630430(v=sql.110).aspx. After finishing the configuration, we can re-open Report Manager in Internet Explorer without using
Run as administrator.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong
