Frustrated. problem installing clusterware. no response from metalink
i've asked metalink and they haven't replied. i'm hoping that the otn community can help.
can't get vipca to run manually, post failure to run thru OUI when installing clusterware. comes back with an Exception Error, yet all the cluster readiness tests were reported successfully. i have included my tar here but have masked the oracle engineer's name as 'm not interested in shaming him, i just want to fix my system. many thanks in advance, John.

### PROBLEM STATEMENT ###
i have followed the installation instructions for installing clusterware with ASm as the preferred method for storage as this is
using Oracle Server Std Edition. when the config assistant ran, it succeeded
all steps prior to the following :
Output generated from configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant":
Command = C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd /c call c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs/bin/vipca.bat
-silent -nodelist "whdc-wms-srv-1,whdc-wms-srv-2" -nodevips

UPDATE
=======
Hi John.
How are you invoking VIPCA after the fact?
- From the command linke with the same parameters as above ( the -silent option should be
removed)
or
- from the command line without any parameters?
If you have not tried to invoke vipca.bat without parameters please do so and enter the required i
nformation when prompted.

hi
by the way, i am following Part Number B14207-01. Oracle® Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real
Application Clusters Installation Guide
10g Release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows
i am upto section 4 Installing Oracle Clusterware on Windows-Based Systems.
this is where i did as stated, Using Oracle Universal Installer to Install Oracle Clusterware on Windows
then at step 9, When you click Finish, the OUI installs the OCFS and Oracle Clusterware software on the local node and
validates the installation again. The OUI will also create any required OCFS
file systems. After validating the installation, the OUI completes the Oracle
Clusterware software installation and configuration on the remote nodes.
this is where the configuration assistant fails, with the :
Output generated from configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant":
Command = C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd /c call c:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs/bin/vipca.bat
-silent -nodelist "whdc-wms-srv-1,whdc-wms-srv-2" -nodevips

Configuration assistant "Virtual Private IP Configuration Assistant" failed
, and then when you try to vipca.bat manually, you get :

hi xxxxxx
also noted that even after the 1st attempt to install clusterware the path is as follows :
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem
not sure when there is no change to the path as a result of the oracle install, as there is a JRE and jlib folder under the oracle home : C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\crs\jlib
1st question is you have contradictory statements in your tar. 1) you say no vendor clusterware and the you say you have windows 2003 clusterware installed and configured.
Why are you installing both?
Although I don;t think that is the problem here, I wonder why anyone would want to run 2 independent cluster software on same servers.
Now the output from the installer has whdc-wms-srv-2-vip output from cluvfy shows suitable interface as whdc-wms-srv-1 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.10
whdc-wms-srv-2 HEARTBEAT 10.10.10.11:10.10.10.11
whdc-wms-srv-2-vip what you entered to installer does not match what is available!

Problem installing PS-CS2 upgrade from Version 4
I upgraded my Photoshop software from Version 4.0 to Version CS2 in July of 2006. At the time, I had an issue installing it and had no problems calling Adobe and having them walk me through a couple extra steps to install the program (because it was a "special" upgrade that was offered from a version earlier than 5.5, which was normally what you had to have in order to upgrade to CS2). So, no problem there, got the program installed.
Fast forward to this week, when I received a new computer for Christmas (a little early) and I tried installing the software. I called Adobe and they said they can't help me because the software is now out of its "support" time frame and the only way they could help me was if I purchased CS4. I have searched online at Adobe for a couple hours and can't find anything giving me the information I need to duplicate the extra steps I had to take when I initially installed the program 3.5 years ago. I don't use Photoshop a lot but there are a few times when I use it for photos and so upgrading is not something that I want to do at the moment (CS2 is fine for what I need). Is there anyone out there that can help me, or perhaps point me in the right direction with the correct information?Are these the extra steps, in this case for CS4, that involve a challenge-response from an Adobe rep? These same steps could be performed by a keygen, which is why Adobe went to background server activation and blacklisting. The scenario this quote is from involves upgrading from a promotional Elements that came with a tablet. The message is from 10/5/09 3:28pm (CDT?):
"The customer representative asks me to open PS CS4. It goes straight to the activation page. I enter my PS CS4 S/N and hit 'Next'. It goes to the page where it requires the PS Elements version and Serial Number. The representative indicates that I leave the SN space blank and press Ctrl+Shift and click inside the activation dialog twice.
It goes to an 'Upgrade Code Entry Dialog' window where it shows a Challenge Code that I had to give to this person on the other side of the phone.
2 minutes later, this person gives me a 6 or 8 digit code that activates my Photoshop license. And that was it."
I am not sure what the equivalent is for CS2 but I think there is some way to get to a Phone Activation thing, which you may have already done, that involves a challenge-response . The unfortunate part is that it involves an Adobe person, and they've already told you they don't support the older version.
It's possible you could tell them you are doing a phone activation and not say what version you have and see if they can give you the correct response code, anyway, although it may be version-specific and if I remember changes each time you do it, so may not be valid for more than one activation attempt. -
Problem installing 10.8.5 from usb - looping...
My HD failed. I installed new hardware. Went from Hitachi (2T) to WD (4T) - temp sensor not compatible so fan loud, but that's ok...
Tried to restore from time machine backup, but wouldn't work - something about recovery partition. Had already partitioned the new HD correctly (journaled, GUID). Read that I might try installing OSX to the new HD from USB first, but that all I had to do was go through the 1st reboot. Tried the stop the install at that point, but it wouldn't stop. Finally was able to point at USB disk, but keeps trying to install and now saying installer had a problem... Can't get the computer to start up from the USB drive even when I hold the option key down - just comes back saying there was a problem with the installation. When I look at disk utility I see a disk2, Mac OS Base System... Can't remove it even when repartitioning the new HD again. At a loss here on what the do now.
My ideas:
1. Create a new bootable USB?
2. Boot to Safe mode or somehow reset the HW somehow? PVRAM?
Help!Thanks for the response. I'm not sure about the necessity of the first suggestion - I created a bootable USB drive from the 10.8 installer which I downloaded - it was in the Applications folder. I used a file in SharedSupport - InstallESD.dmg... Essentially I followed the DIY part of this link:
http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/
Safe mode - I thought I might be able to boot into safe mode from the USB - guess not.
I don't get much of an error now. All it says is:
There was a problem installing "Mac OS X".
Try reinstalling.
Then there is a button for OK. When you click OK - nothing happens.
Next to the apple (upper left) I see "OS X Installer". Then there is a File, Edit, Utilities and Window menus.
Utilities contains firmware password utility..., disk utility..., terminal..., netowkr utility..., and restore system from backup...
When I run disk utility here I see:
My new 4TB WDC and it's sub-entry - "Untitled 1".
When I look at Untitied 1 I see /Volumes/Untitled 1 mount point, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
4TB, used 1.11GB, 3 folders, 2 files
SuperDrive (my dvd drive)
disk2
This is an apple disk image with a capacity of 1.19GB with a Apple Partition Map scheme
Under disk2 is "Mac OS X Base System"
This has a mount point of /, is Max OS Extended, is 1.19GB in size, and has 10,753 folders
and 35,620 files
8.03GB SanDisk
Mac OS X Install ESD - this is obviously my bootable drive for installing Mac OS
I've tried to re-partition the 4TB hard drive but it doesn't seem to remove the disk2 recovery partition. I have only re-partitioned the drive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled), single partition... Interestingly the 8.03GB SanDisk moved above the line next to the 4TB. The disk2 drive is unchanged.
Perhaps I should reformat to a different method? or change from GUID? Seems like there is a separate "recovery partition" that I'm not able to clear or re-start the installation even though the drive is empty - or so I thought.
Interestingly, when I try to run Terminal... it doesn't respond. I get "-bash-3.2# " as a cursor, but it is unresponsive.
When I try to select - "Restore system from backup" there is no response - it's as if it's completely ignored.
I also just tried holding the "C" key during restart - same thing - it jumps to a window which says it's installing OSX for a few seconds, then the same error I outlined above. -
Problems installing Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite
I am trying to install Illustrator and Indesign from CS3 suite. Previously I had been running a trial version on my Mac, and now am trying to install the suite from the original install discs. I have gone through the process of uninstalling all of the Adobe programs and then reinstalling. When the install disc loads up and I get to the point where it lists the programs to install, in the top box Illustrator and Indesign are listed as already being installed and have no option to install them. When I search my computer there are no Illustrator or Indesign applications. I am able to reinstall the rest of the suite and it seems to work fine but can't seem to figure out what step I'm missing as far as reinstalling Illustrator and Indesign are concerned.
I haven't tried doing it on Vista but I would recommend looking for
Adobe clean up programs. The problem I had was that the computer had
a trial version and then I tried to install the full version and it
wouldn't let me install illustrator because there were some random
illustrator files that conflicted with the installation process. I
ran clean up program and it removed all adobe files. Then I
reinstalled photoshop. Before you start running clean up programs
make sure you back everything up. Good luck -
Socket Problem, Problem about printing the response from server
Or even I am not sure if there is a response from server. My code is like that
//Connection between, httpProxy and target adress
Socket clientSocket= new Socket("some host", 80);
DataOutputStream outToServer= new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader inFromServer= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
//The first way
//outToServer.writeBytes("GET http://www.somehost.com/ HTTP/1.1"+ '\n');
//System.out.println("FROM SERVER: "+inFromServer.readLine());
//The second way
PrintWriter out_writer = new PrintWriter(outToServer, false);
out_writer.println("GET http://www.somehost.com/ HTTP/1.1");
out_writer.println("Host: localhost:80");
out_writer.println("Connection: Close");
out_writer.println();
//The second way cont.
String s = null;
while ((s = inFromServer.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(s);
inFromServer.close();There are the two ways that I tried, and both of them didn't work. Why they are not working ? How can I solve it ?problem is solved, the reason it doesn't work is i didn't write the parts correctly. I mean it should be exactly the same packetIf you mean that the entire request must be sent in a single IP packet, this isn't true.
and host name must also be exactly sent to server.Of course.
They must be like in the wireshark.No. The actual data you send must be the same, but the server has no way of telling about what the IP packet looks like or how many there were.
One of your problems is that newlines in HTTP are defined as \r\n. In one case you're just using \n and in the other case you're using whatever the platform line terminator is. Neither is correct. -
Problem Installing EP 6.0 From NW04 SR1
I already installed NW04, but I have a problem installing the EP in the phase "Start SAP J2EE Engine".
I know that may take a long time, but every 30 min the installation bring me a message of timeout, asking for retry, but allways happens the same problem.
I checked my instances, there r with green light. I also tried to Manually to Stop the service and start it again, but the problem is still there.
My server is Windows 2003 Standart edition and I installed the Sql 2005 (of the DVDs from SAP)
When I see the log there is no error.
So if some1 know what may be happening, pls reply me ASAP.
ThxHi,
The next time it timesout stop the installation and then manually stop and start the J2EE engine once. Once the engine is up then continue the installation and you should be able to finish.
Cheers!! -
Problem installing OSX 10.4 from Firewire DVD drive
Hi, I'd be very grateful if anyone can help... I've been trying to install OSX 10.4 from DVD loaded in an external Firewire Lacie DVD drive and haven't been successful yet. I have tried instructing startup from the DVD in System Preferences, holding Option on startup and selecting the DVD and also holding 't' on startup, which I was informed forced startup from an external Firewire device (this resulted in a large Firewire logo floating round the screen but after 10 minutes or so hadn't progressed into full startup). Having read some bits of info found on Apple support I can see there is some issue about installing OSX 10.4 from a DVD drive other than an internal Apple drive (although I can't see any explanation why). Could someone please let me know if there is another way of doing this? – I mainly want to get 10.4 installed because I want to get a new ipod which requires 10.4 rather than 10.3. Thanks very much, Sam
Some external DVD drives support startup. Some do not.
Holding down the T key at startup makes the Mac go into FireWire Target Disk Mode. It will not help you start up from the DVD drive.
If you have another Mac with FireWire and a DVD drive, you can use FireWire Target Disk Mode to mount your Mac's hard drive on the other Mac's desktop. Then, you can use that other Mac to startup from the DVD and run the installer, pointing to your Mac's hard drive for the installation.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
I don't know of any other way, if the external DVD drive does not support start up. -
[Solved] Problem installing et-sdl-sound from AUR
Hey All,
Ok now! I know that there are several threads on this forum related to this issue, but the question I have is slightly different and may even sound silly, but I just cannot figure it out.
I tried installing Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory from AUR. The sound didn't work out-of-the-box. Just as expected because the comments against the package on AUR had warned me so: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=2063
When I researched a little I found out that, to make sound work, I had to install et-sdl-sound package: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9777
So I went ahead and did this:
1. download the tarball from AUR
2. tar -zxvf et-sdl-sound.tar.gz
3. cd et-sdl-sound
4. makepkg -s
Now when I do the "makepkg -s" it fails with the error: "ERROR: A failure occured in build()"
Going by the comments on the package in AUR, adding a line #include <unistd.h> to one of the .cpp file supposedly should fix this error. I did this.
But when I try to run the command makepkg -s it overwrites the file I just modified. Can someone please tell me how do I overcome this? How do I make makepkg use the .cpp file with the modification that I made?
Thank you,
Nachiket

Does anyone have problems installing CS6 Master Suite from a DVD on a Mac?
I'm trying to install the CS6 Master Suite on a mac that has OS X Moutain Lion on it. I keep getting an error message that the software can't be verified and that it may be counterfeit. I purchased the DVD from Adobe directly and it appears to have the proper paper work that signifies that it is a legal copy. I have been in contact with tech support and they tried to help but it didn't work. Also, Adobe certified the serial number so there isn't anything wrong with it. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
ThanksThanks for the response. The only problem that I have with downloading the trial is that A) I have DSL internet connection and it is extremely slow when downloading such a large file. That is why I opted to get the DVD. Because my optical drive kept spitting out the DVD, it has a few scratches on it. Will this create problems if this problem is corrected in the future? Should I request a new DVD? Also, B) there are features in the Master Suite that are not included with the trial download. Once I have most of the other programs downloaded and installed, how can I get the other features in the full version of the Master Suite that are not included in the trial?

Having problem installing Snowleapord, going back from lion.
I own MBP 2.66C2D 13" 2010, I downloaded and installed lion very first day, before that i was felling my system response is getting quiet slow, after intalling lion i felt that i should refresh my machine from scratch so i can have every thing back (talking about speed), what i did i restarted the machine and used command+r to get into recovery mode of lion, there i erased my main HDD and selected the option to reinstall lion, after couple of clicks i noticed that lion is again downloading, i already have installation disk which i made after downloading lion first time, so i thought that i should reinstall snow leapord from the dvd and then install lion from that disk, i again restrated my book after inserting leapord dvd and holded option key there i selected dvd as a boot drive and my system started asking me about language then when i was moved to the screen where i was suppose to tell system in which drive it should install leapord my main and only HDD was comming with full free space but there was small yellow exclamation mark and when i selected that disk it said cant install in this disk, this is my first mac i bought it last year never tried to do this before, i was long time windows user, i would like anyone to help me what i did wrong and what im lacking, please reply as soon as you guyz can i cant keep my system in this position tomorow will be momday and i have to prepare my system for starting the week.
Ok JaEvo, i finally resloved the issue, i couldnt installed snow leapord then i left the idea of installing that, what i did i restored my lion back frm my time machine backup, everything was there where i left that, so accessed my lion dvd and noticed that my dvd had only one file and i.e. Dmg file, i read the article again of making lion dvd so i realised that i made that dvd by just copying dmg file on my dvdand pressed burn button on my finder, so finally i erased that dvd and used disk utility to burn that image on dvd so after burning process i got 3-4 files & folders in the disk, then i restarted my system and holded c till i saw he apple logo and little gear, after almost 10 minutes i again came to lion restore page the i erased me main HDD and gone back to option where i selected install new copy of lion, lion gave me 30 minutes in begening and saying it will download some component and in 5 minutes my system restarted and installation began, took almost 15-20 minutes, then every thing started freshly i made account & etc, but for those who are having problems with lion i must say do clean installation if lion and see how Lion will roar on your machine, soon we will see 10.7.2 and i believe we will have so many small bugs fixed.
Thanks for everyones support, this will help others. -
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Installed, still no response from Zen
I'm at a complete loss what to do now. My Zen Vision M will not connect to my computer. I've done everything suggested in these forums and more. I spent $30 on a high quality Belkin 2.0 USB port and installed it properly. I spent $20 on an AC charger to make sure it was not an issue with charging from the USB port. After 5 hours of waiting on my 56K modem connection I was able to install Service Pack . When this didn't work, I ordered Service Pack 2, waited over a week for it to come. I recieved Service Pack 2 today and installed it properly. Nothing. Why with all these fixes is it still not showing up as connected? I've followed every step to restart, format, and clean up the Zen. I've selected "everyone" in the registery to make sure Windows is allowing it to show up. I've restarted, restarted, reinstalled, restarted, etc., over and over again. It CAN connect, because I am able to use it as a removable storage device. But you cannot play music through this, so what's the point? What else can I do? I would just return the stupid thing, but it was a gift, and I'm trying my best to make it work.
My computer is fully up to date now, I doubt it would work on anyone else's computer after all the hot fixes, patches, and windows updates I've installed. I don't know ANYONE who keeps their computer that updated.
I did try it on one friend's computer, and nothing. I really don't know anyone elses' I could try it on. And even then, yeah I highly doubt it would work.
How much does it cost to send it to creative? Because I've already spent $50 of my own money on this, nevermind how much my dad must have spent buying the thing in the first place. -
Problems installing Solaris 2.6 from CDROM
Hello all,
I had a defective CDROM drive in an Ultra 1, so i replaced the CDROM with another one from a windows PC! Now the problem i am having is that it does not boot from CDROM?? I have no clue as to why this is happening.
Interestingly, i can read the information/data on any other CD except the Solaris 2.6 installation CD!
Upon inserting this CD, it simply presents me with a file manager with a blank screen!!!
Your help is very much appreciated!It is possible that the cdrom you have does not support 512K block size. I would try another cdrom...prefer an older one close to maybe a 4x or 8x

Thre is no response from WAE´s console
Hi,
I received 3 new appliances (02 WAVE274 and 01 WAVE574). All these equipments have the same problem: There is no response from console port.
I have a console cable that works fine in the console port of our router, but when I put this console cable in the right serial port of the WAE, there is no response from console (9600,8,N,1).
When I put a monitor in the video port I see the screen from a normal boot process (see the attached file).
There is no a configuration in these appliances. So, the telnet and web access is not enabled.
Could you please help me?
Thanks,
TeddyHi Teddy,
If you see somehting coming out of VGA port on directly connected display, which means the unit is booting up. If you connect the console, you should see the same bootup process. if you see the bootup process from VGA but not thru console, I suspect, it might be something with console cable or console settings.
Few options you may want to try:
1. Try using one of the cable that was shipped with WAVE device.
2. Try using differnet software. We use PUTTY on regular basis and it works fine with default settings.
3. Try changing console port settings to 9600 N 8 1 XON/XOFF
Hope this helps.
Regards. -
Problem installing PhotoshopElements_12_WWEFDJ.dmg
Photoshop Elements Experts,
After encountering problem installing Photoshop Elements 12 from the CD onto Windows 8.1 (it wanted DirectPlay, which has been depricated from Win 8.1), I posted the problem. Sandeep Singh responded and told me to try installing from a download. That did not work because the file I downloaded, PhotoshopElements_12_WWEFDJ.dmg could not be opened. Appaerntly, I need another app to open the .dmg file. I looked for such an app, but have thus far been able to achieve success. Please help.
Garythe dmg file is for a Mac. For windows there are two files -- exe and 7z. After they are downloaded start the exe file

Hi ..
Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The version is noted there.
Make sure your Mac OS X software is up to date.
Disconnect the iPad from your Mac.
Open System Preferences > Software Update > Check Now
If any updates are required, make sure to restart your Mac after the updates are installed then connect your iPad and see if iTunes recognizes it under Devices.
