Easy way to upgrade a one-node cluster?

Hi all...
I have a one-node cluster running SQL Server. I would like to upgrade the O/S from W2008R2 to W2012R2. Unfortunately, the Compatibility report tells me that it won't upgrade because it is a member of a cluster.
I understand that if it is a member of a two+ node cluster that it won't upgrade, but I don't understand why I can't do it on a single-node cluster.
Is there a work-around for this? I don't want to start redirecting clients to a different cluster name / ip address.
Thanks!

Why even have a one-node cluster for anything but testing purposes?
Why not create another server with the name of your cluster and set it up to serve out the SQL database. Or, if you want to do it properly, get two nodes and make the cluster and keep the cluster name the same. Those are two work arounds.
There is no upgrade in place for what you want to do.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To upgrade, first buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
It's recommended to make a backup of your files. If the upgrade fails, you will lose data. After making the backup, insert the DVD and follow on-screen steps to upgrade.
That disc will install 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update, and install OS X 10.6.8

Is there any easy way to upgrade from Logic Express?

I bought it last year because I couldn't afford the full version - then the full version was dropped to the same price and LE was discontinued. I'd love the security of having it attached to my Apple ID, and to upgrade now, but paying the same price again seems a bit much. Is there any way to upgrade?

You are not alone in your predicament since Apple broke up Logic Studio and discontinued LE.
If you want to make your next purchase via the App Store (which would be wise for future upgrades) I think you basically have two options:
1) Even though it would seem like you're buying Logic again for the same price that you paid for LE, you would be getting a lot more in the way of instruments, plug-ins, and loops. Sculpture, Space Designer, and all 6 Jam Packs for starters. Not to mention that you would then be set up for updates and upgrades. You may find this helpful in determining what you would be immediately gaining by buying Logic Pro 9:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4229
Even though the document shows Logic Studio, if you just eliminate Compressor, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, and Waveburner you can still clearly see what you'll be getting. If all this makes you drool you can get LP9 now or . . .
2) You could wait a bit longer and buy Logic Pro X, whenever that is released.

Current OS is 10.4.11 - Easy way to Upgrade to Lion?

Can I upgrade to Lion? I have a mini mac, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo;
If not, what is the newest OS that I can download and how do I do that?
Thanks for your help and quick response.
jasic, roy
I JN 5:11-13

As said, your Mac cannot run Lion/10.7.x
Lion/101.7 System requirements
    •    x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
    •    At least 2GB of memory, (I say 4GB)
    •    Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
    •    At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, (I say 40GB at least)
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.

Hi. We just got a new laptop and did this (thanks to Chris CA!): Note this was from a Windows/XP to a Windows/Vista.
"On your original computer (XP), go to /My Documents/My Music.
Select the iTunes folder and drag it to your external drive. * buy a flash drive instead of using cds *
Install iTunes on the new computer (Vista).
Launch iTunes and let it do it's stuff.
Quit iTunes.
Connect the external drive.
Select the folder on the external and drag it to /Music on the C: drive.
It should ask if you want to replace the items on the C: drive.
Select Yes.
When it's finished, launch iTunes and everything should be there."
Hope this helps!

Upgrade OES2 to OES11 Cluster

Hi all,
we plan to upgrade our 2-node Cluster running on OES2SP3 x64 to current
version running on OES11SP1. The cluster provides GroupWise, File and iPrint
Services and is connected via QLogic iSCSI HBA to our SAN.
What would you recommend how the Upgrade could be done without major
trouble?
Thanks in advance
Alex

There should be no trouble at all. Move all ressources to one Node, then
update the free node to OES11 as documented, move ressources to the
upgraded server, test, then do the same with the other node. But I
suggest use SP2 instead of SP1. There's really not much special on a
cluster node vs a "normal" server.
One thing you may need to check into is iPrint. If it's fully clustered,
your weg data of iPrint will reside on a clustered volume, which however
will never be available on the node that's currently upgraded, so you
likely end up with the old iPrint stuff there. Yuo may want to re-run
the iprint cluster setup script again (or if you feel able to, copy the
local iPrint data over to the cluster volume).

Is there an easy way to remove photos from iPhoto in the organizer?

I had been using iPhoto, but quit when I started using Photoshop Elements. With version 9, it imported not only photos in my pictures but those in iPhoto. So I have hundreds of duplicates I need to remove from the organizer. Is there an easy way to find the ones from iPhoto so I can remove them?

OK, but is there a way to search/filter on a string in the location (i.e. iPhoto) so I could then easily know which are the duplicates I want to delete?
If there isn't, then it seems that I will have to delete the catalog and start from scratch again. I had originally thought I didn't include iPhoto in the folders to search, but apparently it was somehow included so I will have to be more granular in what folders to search if I recreate the catalog again.

Can I upgrade any one of the 2 GPUs on MBP, late 2008 model?

Hello Gurus,
I have a Macbook Pro, late 2008 model, with dual GPUs.
I was just wondering if there was a way to upgrade any one of the 2 GPUs? Or are the both soldered to the motherboard?
I tried to search on the Internet and the Apple communities but could not find anything addressing this specific question.
Thanks for your replies in advance!

Both soldered onto the logic board.
Sorry.

Hyper-V - 2 node cluster goes down if one server shutsdown

Hi all,
I built a 2 node cluster with tiered storage and then I started doing some tests:
* Drain one node and all the VMs moved to the other node, perfect
* shutdown the drained node.
The entire cluster crashed!!! The remaining node is trying to re-connect to the iSCSI SAN without success.
* I booted the drained node. And it would not re-connect to the iSCSI SAN either. I had to force the reconnect in the iscsi control panel to make it re connect.
So why would shutting down one node kill the cluster ? Sure it was the node that had the tiered pool online, but even then, isn't failover cluster supposed to put that one back and working on the other node ?
Why did the active node lose the iSCSI connection too ? It had VMs running on it prior to the shutdown of the other node. My DC that was running on that other node is also now un available, can't ping it or anything.
So what did I miss in the configuration of the cluster ? I followed the msdn 2 node hyper-v cluster doc.
I am really worried atm since I had over the past 3 months a ton of issues with hyper-v going from using tiered storage, shutting down nodes, MAC address on the VMs and the hosts,... I thought that after hyper-v 2008, Microsoft had really made some progress
with Hyper-V but I truly regret not going with VMWare again this time around.
That cluster was supposed to go into homologation phase tomorrow at the datacenter but now I am unsure if I ll ever be able to trust it to work.
The SAN is an MD3200i which is reported as Hyper-V ready.
Any hint on where I have gone wrong would be appreciated.
Regards,
Edit: even from the host with powershell I was not able to shutdown the DC and reboot it clean. Said the integration services were not reachable... it is a 2012 R2 servers...
Edit2: One of my VM is gone ! Can't even find the file on the disks either locally on the hosts or on the SAN. WTF!!!

Actually comes across very reasonable. And I think you are right. I tend to compare Hyper-V to vSphere with vCenter included. I have not seen nor used VMM. Also true that Storage Pools and iSCSI is not Hyper-V, but to me it comes as a package just as much
as ESXi 'comes' with it.
As for burning personnal hours and money on books, I have, just as much as I go to conferences when I can and can afford it. And the only thing I would envy you, is the fact you have your colleagues to bounce idea of / lay on if necessary.
As for the few hundred box for the management suite. I believe the stack you speak of would actually cost my current company about 14k$, that is not a few hundred box. That is pretty much the cost of one of the 2 SANs. By 14k$, I mean that
we have 6 servers with 2 sockets each, running a lot of VMs, which means Datacenter licences which list price is 3.6k$. I am not even including the CALs. Or am I mistaken on the licensing ?
If VMWare, I would be going with essentials which, at the same server perimeter, would be 30% less expensive. We don't really need the full blown one at our level.
I am also locked by hardware that was ordered by my predecessor which do not provide the service we need them for. (I blame the vendor on that one, my predecessor was not an infrastructure guy). As for storage, if you are referring to SMB3 and using
a failover cluster to provide the disks to the hyper-v hosts, I agree. I am just not too sure on the technology yet and went more for safety until I can test it thoroughly in the dev environment.
I also hope Microsoft will add an easier way to set the media type on disks as well as allow for more than just SSD and HDD or even allow us to define our own.
I actually fooled the system this time around because SSD are too expensive and too high a failure rate compared to 15kRPM (yes the performance are lovely) at the moment. So I made the 15kRPMs into SSD.
For the remote management issue, i meant that actually, at this time, I have to disable the domain firewall to be able to manage the hyper-v 2012 R2. I tried hvremote, adding all the necessary rules, etc... What I did for 2012 worked perfectly fine and I
had full controls. 2012 R2 does not. I have another thread on this in the forum and I ll come back to it as soon as I can.
I don't really care for the no interface thingy, I enjoy Powershell and scripting fine :) Does a lot of automation for me :) I am used to scripting anyway and it is faster to reproduce steps that way. You do it once, and you got something you can apply with
little changes to everything.
I joined the company in November last year and I got dropped a full stack to upgrade in 6 months while maintaining the current one. Encountering the problem now is better and is, fundamentally, good, though it is time consumming.
By full stack I mean:
* Help the dev re-design the apps so it handles load better. Get out of Windows 2003 and migrate to 2012 and validate all the applications on 2012 as well as improve security.
* Implementing a monitoring system for the infrastructure and the applications.
* Upgrade SQL Server 2005 to, in this case 2012 Standard (no choice and enterprise not in the price range of the company). Converge our current test and prod environments. Optimize all the queries... And naturally validate the applications.
* Upgrade the certificate authorities so they are available on all sites. Haven't scratched that one yet.
* Design a fully site redundant architecture so that if a site goes dark we have no impact. If there is partial failure on one site, no issue either, and so on XD. I wish I had AG :)
* Implement a single windows domain on all the sites, that will be a relief :) Running 4 domains and about 10 different workgroups atm
* Upgrade the firewalls, switches, servers hardware, ... Implement the necessary networks for virtualization and improved security rules... (Don't buy SonicWalls, had a worse headache with them than Hyper-V :) )
* Migrate the users from old domain to new one. Windows 8 does not have the user migration tool anymore :(
* Plan the DR tests and processes :)
* Gotta get Hyper-V replica working as well as backups.
* And naturally make all the documentation so that if I happen to get under a bus, anyone in the company can just follow the documentation in case of an emergency.
And I am sure I am still missing some part of the environment no one knows about at some places :) Found a new network today XD.
As for the mixed VM management, I mean some that are in HA on the cluster and others that don't need and must not failover. Am sure there is a way to configure them in the failover cluster so they don't failover. I just need to spend the 15 minutes looking
into it :)
Since I have had that SAN, I spent about 5 days on the phone with Dell support. That iSCSI issue is not the first one I got :( But in the production environment, that issue has disappeared. So at this time, i have switched working on other issues. And with
the information you provided, I'll be able to know if one of the node of the cluster lose the connectivity which will help avoid this issue in the future.
And it is a very good and interesting challenge. I am just running in way to many issues doing a 10 year old system upgrade :) I was expecting to have an easier time with Microsoft Virtualization than I've had.
Oh and just for the fun, I also had VM disappear, no more file, no nothing, just poof. Have not figured how that happened yet. Had the backup so not much of an issue, but still, it went poof when the original issue happened.
Thanks for the time and the tips :)

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

When I have two clips, one above the other, I would like to hear the audio from one at a time. How do I suppress temporarily one of that, in a easier way? Thank you.

I would think you would drop down the audio level lines in the "Stereo" tab (FCP 6.0.6 view to me) in the clip's video window.
But then again, in my old version, I can't play two clips at once. But I figure if the newer FCP allow you to do that, then that's what I would do.

Is there a new easier way to combine all calendars into one?

This is a two-part question...
I was wondering if anyone had found an easier way to do this instead of exporting a calendar and importing into a main calendar, and repeating untill all calendars were in one. I have 8 calendars on my computer, but then another 11 on iCloud. These were done over years and had I known how confusing it would get I would never had created more than one or two. I would assume the iCloud calendars with the same names as my computer calendars would be sync'd and have same info?
But also, in many of these calendars I have multiple entries. "Doctor appointment at 3:00"... Maybe 8 times on one particular day. Those multiples are scattered about through all calendars. It's a mess! lol! Is there a way to globally delete duplicate entries on the same day and time? Or must that be a manual task?
Any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated, and Thank You in advance!!
Earth Guest

Okay, I realized it wouldn't take much time to export and import all those calendars into a new all-inclusive calendar, so I've done that. One at a time I exported each calendar to a folder on my desktop. Then I made the new calendar and imported from that "exported" folder, each cal that I exported. I wonder how confident I can be that everything came into the new calendar? I mean, it went back to 2006 or so.
I want to delete all the old calendars. If I do that, will iCloud delete those calendars as well, or do I have to manually delete them from iCloud or it will sync and add back to my computer what I had just deleted? I guess iCloud will update and sync to the new single calendar?
I know I'm asking a lot of questions. I'm just scared of losing years of records of dates I may need to remember. I'm not a very technical person (as you may have guessed :-)!

thanks for the reply. guess i'll have to do that. apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update. have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update. most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression. this was a complete change. and not a good one, at all. thanks to the two people that replied. appreciate it.

I need to translate a flash program with many pages to edge animate CC. Is there an easy way top build new pages, so that you can jump from one page to another withion the same file?

I have only seen in all the examples in books and on the net that edge animate works on one page only. Maybe I hve not fully understood the concept, but in flash it was easy. Perhaps there is also an easy way in edge animate?

You can either make a symbol for each page in the same composition or you can use edge commons composition loader to load several compositions into the same composition which serves as a container.
