Error stamping RAW disks using asmtool/asmtoolg

Hi,
I get the following error when i type asmtool -list from cmd using administrator privileges:
ASM-00203: No valid devices found
O/S-Error: (OS 18) There are no more files.
ASM-00007: Could not get device number for \\?\Volume{fead3148-25cb-11e2-936d-00

Hence, i cannot stamp two 10GB RAW disks for creating an ASM diskgroup while installing grid infrastructure 11g R2 on Windows 7 x64.
Hope you can help me resolve this problem! :)

The underlying error is an operating system error - as indicated by the +"(OS 18) There are no more files"+ and +"(OS 1) Incorrect function"+ error messages.
Have you looked at obvious issues like device permissions, ACLs and so on? Have you looked at o/s documentation for detailed descriptions of these o/s error codes?
And have you asked yourself why Windows and not Linux? ;-)

Using ASM without raw disks?

I realize the whole point of employing ASM in an enterprise environment would be to alleviate the need for third-party LVMs and data management at the OS level.
Still, I wonder if there is a way around the raw disk requirement for using ASM-- not in a production environment, but for the purpose of getting aquainted with its benefits and intricacies, and running through its procedures without impacting a live enviromnent (and to save the time and expense of additional hardware installation.
I have read about an "undocumented" ASM parameter called ASM_ALLOW_ONLY_RAW_DISKS, which, when set to FALSE, would allow me to do what I need to do without additional disks:
http://www.orafaq.com/parms/parm50.htm
http://www.dbazine.com/OLC/still.shtml
Unfortunately (but not surprisingly), this hasn't worked for me thus far. Has anyone had any luck with this parameter in a WinXP environment?
Any ideas on what might work toward reaching this end would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
John

Hi John,
I was able to get ASM working without raw disks on Windows 2000 as follows:
create init+ASM.ora for example:
*.background_dump_dest='F:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\+ASM\bdump'
*.core_dump_dest='F:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\+ASM\cdump'
instance_type=asm
*.large_pool_size=12M
*.remote_login_passwordfile='SHARED'
*.user_dump_dest='F:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\+ASM\udump'
*._ASM_ALLOW_ONLY_RAW_DISKS=false
*.asm_diskstring='f:\asm\*'
The setting of asm_diskstring is very important, this should be set to the directory where you are going to create the "ASM files" that will pretend to be disks.
The asmtool which is on the Oracle 10g CRS CD, can be used to create empty files, for example:
ASMTOOL -create \\.\F:\ASM\ASMDISK1.ASM 100
ASMTOOL -create \\.\F:\ASM\ASMDISK2.ASM 100
ASMTOOL -create \\.\F:\ASM\ASMDISK3.ASM 100
This will create 3 100Mb files in f:\asm\ which with should be picked up in v$asm_disk once you asm instance is restarted.
obviously you will need to change the drive letter above, as required.
Also looks like you need the OracleCSService running, which I think can be started using ocssd.
cheers,
John

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's

Every time I try to back up my Macbook Pro with an external hard drive using Time Machine, I receive the error of "the disk does not have enough space". I have a 500GB external hard drive and only 120GB Macbook. It worked fine before the latest Maverick's update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My guess would be it has created an entirely new backup of your drive when you upgraded to Mavericks.

hp pavilion dv6 6180 help me for this error when I am using my recovery disk
The destination drive is not connected

Hello Mohammadshamlou. I understand that you're having some issues using your Recovery Disc. It is giving you the error that the drive is not connected. Is this correct? How long have you had the notebook?
What issue originally led you to want to try a recovery?
The error seems to imply that it is not detecting the hard drive as this would be the most logical destination drive. So, I feel the best thing to try first is verify that the hard drive is in proper working order. Follow these steps and please post the result.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"

Help !
The last few days my time capsule reports an error The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data-1/MacBook Pro.sparsebundle” is already in use.
To make things worse I seem to be loosing my screen so need to make a back up ASAP

Make sure that no other Macs are backing up at the time.
Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
Count to ten
Plug the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
This will fix the issue about 98% of the time. If you are in the unlucky 2% category, please post back for more assistance

Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the page that opens.
Select the System keychain in the list of keychains in the sidebar of the window. If you don't see the list, click the down-arrow icon below the sidebar.
Then select Passwords in the Category list at lower left. Click the Kind heading in the list of keychain items to arrange it by Kind.
Locate the AirPort Disk Password with the name of your Time Capsule. Double-click the item and check the box marked Show Password in the inspector window that opens. You'll be prompted for the administrator login password. Make a note of the AirPort password, then close the inspector window and delete the item.
Also delete any other AirPort DIsk Password items for that same Time Capsule, which may have had a different name in the past.
Quit Keychain Access and try again to back up.

Oracle VM 3.1 Guest VM backup using raw disk

Hi
I am implementing VM 3.1, the Guest VM are using raw disks from SAN instead of virtual disks.
I wonder if cloning the guests online is a good backup & recovery strategy or there are any pther options?
TIA

Insufficient disk space / Error writing to Disk: when using photo library manager

First I couldn't open my iphoto library (again!) so I am rebuilding my library (again- 4th time). NOW I'm told I donot have sufficient disk space to import photos.

And just as I'm writing this I get Error Writing to disk memo
iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem writing to the volume containing your iPhoto library.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
If you select the disk icon for your hard drive on the Desktop, then Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper panel it will show your drive's space statistics - Capacity, Used, and Available. It is the latter you are interested in to see how much space is left on the drive. If you have less than 1 GB or so, then you must stop trying to write to the drive or you may corrupt it completely.

Keep getting error occurred while formatting the disk using boot camp with usb

So I keep getting the above error when trying to use boot camp with a USB drive. I have tried with more than one flash drive, all formatted to FAT32, multiple isos, both ripped right from a windows 7 ultimate dvd and downloaded, and I have made sure the iso was unmounted. I have also tried all different combinations of checking the options in the boot camp assistant menu. Any ideas on how to get this to work?

I was mistakenly thinking of the Fat16 limit. That is my mistake.
When bootcamp assistant failed to create the USB from my iso disk (with no explanation), I decided to experiment a little with the dd and cp utilities. dd failed, and cp told me the install file was too big.
The install.wim on my iso is 4,351,019,025 bytes. So even if 4GB is the file size limit, it is too big. 4GB is 4,294,967,296 bytes if I recall.
If I am still right about the file size, smaller editions of windows 7 would be able to fit on the flash drive, or people can have an actual DVD with windows 7 and install from there.

"Resource Busy" error during image creation,using disk utility when booting up from installation DVD

Hi all, first post to this community, wish all well
I have a MBP which is more than three years old, installed with OSX Leopard 10.6. Recently the MBP failed to to start and I tried to follow some articles online, including some from this community, to repair my disk, and more importantly, to backup data on the startup disk. But it does not work quite well so I try to seek some help here.
What I have done is to bootup with the installation DVD, try to verify and repair the disk using disk utility, which tells me it can't repair and recommend to backup, erase and reinstall. Am fine with this recommendation but now the problem is on the backup part. There are two partitons on this 500GB hitachi SATA disk. One is 300G which is for OSX itself, and the other 200G was partitioned for Time Machine. The repair failure is on the OSX partition which contains most of the recent data that I want to backup/restore. And unfortunately the Time Machine backup was stopped about two month ago, for some stupid decision I have made , while I am hoping to recover some data for the past month.
Currently the SMART status of the whole disk is verified, the OSX partition is unmounted with no details in the Available, Used, Number of Files, etc. From what I have researched (correct me if I am wrong), I highlight the OSX partition from the list on the left, click 'New Image' button on top, and select the destination to try to create an image of the current partition. But regardless of my desintation (Time Machine partition, or external USB drive), the imaging process always failed with Resource Busy error. Some online search suggest that the partition must be in unmount status but seems it does not apply to this case.
Would be really appreciated if anyone can give me some advice on what's the 'resource busy' error mean, how to backup the OSX partition, or what are the other possible alternatives.

Very poor idea to keep the Time Machine backup file on the internal hard drive. They should always be put on an external drive. As when the internal fails you lose everything. Which is what I suspect has happened.
More then likely your internal drive is failing. the only options to get a new internal drive and a SATA to USB adapter. Install the new drive inside the system abd install OS X on it. Then once that is finished and you are booting from it connect the old drive to the system with the SATA to USB adapter and copy your files off the old drive. That is if you can.

Deleting Virtual Raw Disk

My understanding says that asmtool fake OS files as hard disk and get Oracle to recognise them as usable storage, as though they were hard disks? am i right ? as i have created the OS files using OS command in windows 7 and Mimicked these files using asmtool. After creating these file when i try to delete it using asmtool it says.
C:\Windows\system32>asmtool -delete ORCLDISKRAW1
ASM-00204: Ignoring ORCLDISKRAW1: not a valid ASM partitionHow can i achieve the above using asmtool? What i understand asmtool could be used diffrent partition disk to make one unit and hence the different partition should be raw one not an OS formatted like NTFS , FAT etc. Asmtool is not only for creating the fake disk it could be used for production environment SAN disks to make one ASM formatted chunk isnt?
