Force ashift=12 when creating a pool / adding vdev

I have a few WD 4TB Black (WD4001FAEX) which use 4K sector size, however solaris 11.1 detect them as 512B (ashift=9).
Under OpenIndiana/OmniOS i can force them to be seen as 4K sector, however I don't find a way to do this in Solaris 11.1.

Thanks

I think you are saying that you have 4k drives that are still reporting a 512B size. Is this correct?
Then, yes, Solaris 11.1 is handing this correctly. If you want it to report a 4 KB size, then you can attempt these modifications:
1. Use the format-->disk-->inquiry string to identify the Vendor ID and product ID.
2. Add an sd-config-list entry to /kernel/drv/sd.conf, that includes the VID and PID:
sd-config-list="ABC SUPERDEVICE00001", "physical-block-size:4096", "emulation-rmw:1";
Carefully add whitespace to make the vendor ID (VID) 8 characters long (here ABC) and Product ID (PID) 16 characters long in the sd-config-list entry as above..
3. Reboot the system.
More info about current advanced format disk support in S11.1 is here:

    Hi Shiva,
        We go by account assignment.  For this cost element  61530, the Column ' Acct Assgnmnt ' is 3 .
    It has profit ctr of 30, 400, 420 and its cost center.  However, acctg doc seems to point to an invalid cost center for profit center 30.
    Any suggestions ?

  • Material Determination when creating Sales Order referencing Contract

    Hi Experts,
    Is ther any way to force material determination when creating a sales order with reference to a contract?
    When I create a sales order from scratch, the material determinations works fine, but when the sales order is created referencing a contract, the material is copied from the contract without material determination.
    I've checked control copy at item level, without sucess.
    Thanks in advance,
    Nuno.

    Hi Nuno,
    Material determination is triggered by the material entered in the line item of the sales order.
    You can carry out new Material determination/Product selection by copy cotrol configuration when creating with reference.
    For your scenario of creating SO with reference to Contract the "product selection field should be blank" at item level copy control.
    Blank --> Carry out new product selection
    A --> Copy result of product selection
    B --> like A, but the product selection is never cancelled afterwards
    C --> Reserve
    Hope this helps you.
    Thanks

    actually, no, the thin driver reacts badly to being told a server. It tries to
    become the type-2 driver and use the Oracle OCI stuff. If the customer can
    make a standalone program connect to the DBMS with that driver and URL,
    then maybe they need to alter the classpath of the server to have that
    driver come before any weblogic stuff. We ship an older version of the
    driver, and that may be being used because it's ahead in the classpath.

  • Is there a switch for 'FORCE' when creating object type?

    Where is the property to indicate whether or not to include the keyword FORCE when creating an object type?

    Thanks, the support that SDDM provides for Object Types is much better than Oracle Designer. I am looking forward to the release where we can flag a method's parameter as 'DEFAULT NULL' and especially the ability to include an inherited or included attribute as part of the primary key or the primary key. With the last release where the method body is stubbed out with 'BEGIN NULL; END;' really provided the basic ability for rapid prototyping. Once the key 'FORCE' is in place, the ability to rapid prototype will become even more functional.

  • Can I force iTunes NOT to create artist/album folders when importing?

    I've unchecked the "Let iTunes organize your music" box. All I want is to have iTunes rip the song, and place the song (unburdened by artist and album folders) in an external hard drive.
    I can't seem to make that happen - can iTunes do it? If not, any Mac-based program you can recommend?
    Thanks.

    Can I force iTunes NOT to create artist/album folders when importing?
    No.
    Just RIP it and drag it from the main iTunes screen to wherever you want it.

  • Require entry of metadata when creating a folder in a document library

    Sharepoint Foundation 2010 -
    While users are required to enter metadata when uploading a document, it would be a tremendous help if they were required to enter metadata when creating a folder inside a document library.
    Is there a way to force entry of metadata when creating a folder? And if this is possible, can I create different metadata requirements for documents uploaded inside a folder?
    Thanks.

    Yes, you will need to create a Content Types that inherits the Folder Content Type, and then assign your new Content Type to your library. The following blog post explains how to do this (it was written for 2007 but same applies for 2010),
    http://www.sharepoint-guru.com/2007/06/adding-metadata-to-folder.html
    You can create additional Content Types to reflect the different types of files, each with their own set of metadata columns and requirements.

  • Problem with creating Connection pool and JNDI, driver is not detected

    Hi,
    I have an issue with creating Connection Pool and JNDI.
    I'm using:
    - JDK 1.6
    - OS: Linux(ubuntu 8.10)
    - Netbeans IDE 6.5.1
    - Java EE 5.0
    - Apache Tomcat 6.0.18 Its lib directory contains all necessary jar files for Oracle database driver
    - Oracle 11g Enterprise
    My problem is that the Oracle database driver is not detected when I want to create a pool (it works pretty well and is detected without any problem when I create ordinary connection by DriverManager)
    Therefore after running:
    InitialContext ic = new InitialContext();
    Context context = (Context)ic.lookup("java:comp/env");
    DataSource dataSource = (DataSource)context.lookup("jdbc/oracle11g");
    Connection connection = dataSource.getConnection();and right after dataSource.getConnection() I have the following exception:

    Hello again,
    Finally I managed to run my application also with Tomcat 6.0.18. There was only two lines that had to be modified
    in the context.xml file (the context of my application project and not server's)
    Instead of writing
    <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/WebApplication2">
        type="javax.sql.DataSource"
        factory="org.apache.tomcat.dbcp.dbcp.BasicDataSourceFactory"
    </Context>we had to write:
    <Context antiJARLocking="true" path="/WebApplication2">
        type="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource"
        factory="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceFactory"
    </Context>- No modification was needed to be done at server level (niether server.xml nor server context.xml)
    - I just added the ojdbc6.jar in $CATALINA_HOME/lib (I didn't even need to add it in WEB-INF/lib of my project)
    - The servlet used to do the test was the same that I presented in my precedent post.
    For those who have encountered my problem and are interested in the format of the web.xml and context.xml
    with Tomcat 6.0, you can find them below:

  • Getting correct field length when creating formats for delimited flat files

    Using Data Services 3.2 to pull in tsv and Excel source files.
    When creating a new format for each file, DS tries to intelligently set the field size for each column. However, it seems to sample only a portion of the file. The end result is that it often determines too short a length for a field.
    Is there a way to force it to scan an entire file before it sets the field length? Or alternatively, how to get it to at least throw an error instead of silently truncating my data?

    I am not aware of any way to force DS to scan the whole file, or to log a warning when it truncates.  The field sizes DS sets by using a sample of the data is only really to give you a starting point, you need to try and determine the maximum possible lengths preferably from someone who understands the source of the data or through profiling.  But the profiling method will obviously only be based on the data you have at the time of profiling, new data added to the source later could exceed the field lengths.  The way I prefer to handle this is to set all the field lengths to longer than expected, eg. varchar(999) and then use a validation transform immediately after reading the file to check for any fields that exceed the maximum allowed for the target system and send these to an error file/table.

  • PSE 8 some photos will not autoimport when creating an photobook and block the whole sequence. Are there knows reasons why individual photos can hang the import? Thanks Michael

    When creating photobooks with PSE 8 I find occasionally that certain photos block the autoimport function and none of the sequence are loaded into the new photobook. Using the identical setting to create a photobook other sequences of photos work perfectly. The photos have been checked and found and all are connected and recognised. Are there knows issues with some photo formats which will not autoimport when creating a photobook?
    Thanks for the help.

    Sometimes LR can be "nudged" into showing folder relationships which better match the file system, by using the "show parent folder" command. When existing folders appear as if they were "top level" in the drive, we can see a more or less virtual picture of the situation, rather than anything real. So newly added folders can sometimes present themselves as if independent of what is already there.
    By forcing LR to show a fuller hierarchy of folders, more attention gets paid to the actual arrangement - so new and existing folders should "wake up" and thereafter appear more reliably in the right relationships.

  • Capture DB Table and column comments when creating new Business Area/Folder

    Does anyone know if it is possible to pull the DB table and column comments into Discoverer when creating new Business Area/Folders? Our developers take the time to put the information in the Db data dictionary and we would like to leverage it (reduce need for manually adding descriptions) ... has anyone done this?
    If there isn't a way to automatically do it, would there be any harm in using a sql script to populate the description fields from the DB data dictionary directly into the EUL tables appropriate?
    I have been searching through documentation and forums for information - with no luck at this point.
    Thanks!

    Hi Seymour
    You can add column comments to views as well, as this example will show:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW MY_SEQUENCE
    (SEQ_ID, SEQ_NAME, SEQ_NEXTVAL)
    AS
    SELECT "SEQ_ID","SEQ_NAME","SEQ_NEXTVAL" FROM EUL5_SEQUENCES;
    COMMENT ON COLUMN MY_SEQUENCE.SEQ_NAME IS 'The sequence';
    So you could add the comments at the view level and then refresh Discoverer.
    Best wishes

  • Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

    Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
    However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
    What we found from out testing:
    - The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
    - The file can be closed and  Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
    - Also, until the  Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file. 
    Example Scenario:
    - User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
    - Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
    - User 1 saves his file and closes it - but  Dreamweaver is still open.
    - User 2 also saves his file and leaves  Dreamweaver  open.
    - The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
    - If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
    - Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
    Other information:
    - Files are opened directly from the server
    - Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
    - Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
    - The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
    - The users are usually working on the files all day
    - It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
    It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
    Anyone know if this is a known issue?
    Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
    Thanks

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

  • Problem with collection names getting replaced when creating new collections in Photoshop Elements 5.0

    We have been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 a lot lately to organize many photos into collections.  A new problem just arose when creating a new collection.
    As we named the new collection and clicked on "OK" it replaced another existing collection with the new name.  The photos from the old collection were still there but now under the new collection name.  This happened at least three or four times, each time a different "old" collection was renamed.  Does anyone know why this would happen?
    This past week we have added at least 20 new collections with no problem prior to this.  Adobe actually had to shut down when this happened.  Each time we reopened Adobe it would happen again randomly renaming a different "old" collection when we tried to add the new one.  Any insights would be much appreciated.

    Thank you - that was the problem and now it is working correctly
    again!

  • How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

    Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
    Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

    I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
    Thanks for any suggestion
