GDS Performance in a Cluster - Database or Shared File Folder

Has anyone seen any significant performance differences between Windows ES4 clusters using the DB GDS and File Folder GDS?

I remember I learnt these suggestions from LC documentation.
For best performance, configure file system as GDS.
For easy backup, configure database as GDS.
Thanks,

  • Shared File/Folder encryption on OS X Mavericks Server.

    Hi,
    I have a MAC mini running OS X Mavericks Server with RAID 1 disks.  The MAC mini server is configured as a file server sharing a folder/files with other MACs and Windows clients.  As far as I know file vault disk encryption is not supported with RAID disks.  Is it possible to encrypt a single shared folder/files on a MAC mini server with OS X Mavericks and continue making it available as a shared resource for Windows and MAC users?  If so, have anyone tried this successfully?  Is there a third party software required for this?  What happens if the encrypted folder/files if one of the RAID 1 disks fails?  Is it necessary to decrypt the folder/files first before rebuilding the RAID?  Finally, assuming the it's possible to encrypt just a single shared folder/files, I assume that the folder will not be accessible if the disk is plugged in on another MAC - just like if the entire disk was encrypted with file vault, correct?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can i put a single Itunes directory in the Shared File folder of a computer

    Can i put a single Itunes directory/song list in the Shared Folder of my computer and everyone in the house utilize the one account? This way we keep all the available music on one computer and accessible to everyone.

    A number of approaches to it.... See this thread for how I do it.

  • Regarding shared file system requirement in endeca server cluster

    Hi,
    Our solution involves running a single data domain in an endeca server cluster.
    As per the documentation, endeca server cluster requires shared file system for keeping index file for follower node to read.
    My questions are,
    Can I run the endeca cluster with out shared file system by having the index file on each node of the endeca server cluster?
    Can dependency on shared file system be a single point of failure, if yes how can it be avoided?
    I really appreciate your feedback on these questions.
    thanks,
    rp

    Hi rp,
    The requirement for a shared file system in the Endeca Server cluster is a must. As this diagram shows, the shared file system maintans the index, and also maintains the state of the Cluster Coordinator, which ensures cluster services (automatic leader election, propagation of the latest index version to all nodes in the data domain). A dependency on a shared file system can be a single point of failure and requires to run a backup, -- this is a standard IT approach, that is, it is not specific to the Endeca Server cluster in particular.
    See this section on Cluster Behavior, for info on how the shared file system is used (the topic "how updates are processed"), and on how increased availability is achieved.

  • No longer able to access shared files on my pc over my network from my mac

    For months I have been able to access my shared files folder located on my pc, sharing a network with my PowerBook G4 (OS X 10.3 +). Suddenly, when I try to access the pc now, I get the spinning beachball and nothing. I can see my pc in the network, but it doesn't open. I haven't made any changes on the pc side, except perhaps the windows security updates that come along once in a while. (I did try to access it with the firewall turned off just in case, but no dice).
    Does anyone have any ideas or things I could try to shake this out?

    Adobe Story stores its local files on the following location:
    On Windows,
    1. Open Windows Explorer and type '%appdata%' in the address bar
    2. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.
    On Mac,
    1. Open Finder.
    2. From 'Go' Menu, open 'Go to folder'
    3. Type '~/Library/Preferences' and hit enter
    4. Make a copy of 'com.adobe.AdobeStory.<some-number>' folder. This folder contains Story's local data.

  • Sharing a folder on a network with 10.3

    I recently purchased a used Power Mac G4 running OS 10.3.9 on it. I want to created a folder on it at "Macintosh HD\Shared Files", where other computers on my home network can connect to and save files to it.
    I can only get each user's public folder to show when I connect to it. Is there any way I can get it so that the Shared Files folder can be shared on the network?
    It will be accessed by my Macbook, and two Windows computers.

    If you select Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and search for 'file sharing' you should get assistance on how to share files.
    Sharing with Windows computer can prove a bit more difficult with Panther. See the following:
    Windows Sharing for the Mac;
    OS X 10.3 - Setting up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users;
    OS X 10.3 - Setting up a Windows computer to share files with Mac users;
    To ease the pain of file sharing even with Windows machines you might try the utility SharePoints - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Multiple Single Instance DB Conversion to Cluster Database RAC

    Hi,
    Good Day.
    we are in planning phase to perform an activity, in which 8 existing (Single Instance) and 1 new database will be consolidated in ONE Oracle RAC Cluster database.
    Kindly share your ideas, to perform the consolidation smoothly with minimal downtime.
    can any one share the cons/pros, what if we create MULTIPLE RAC cluster databases instead of one cluster database?
    Thank You.
    Regards,

    The cons are pretty much the same as running multiple instances on a single server: Tuning will be much harder because you will have to look for bottleneck and depletion of common resources (CPU, RAM, IO) across all your instances instead of one (where you have lots of nice and integrated features). There is the potential for contention between resources and since each instance/database has its own SGA (and they are not shared) you will potentially waste a lot of ram for stuff that is redundant between the instances.
    But if you still think this is something you want to do, you should take a look at the 'server pool' feature. It will give you some more control over how your databases/instances should be ditributed across your rac (there is propably no need for all databases to be running on all servers at the same time)

    Until you provide some hints about operating system for each of the RAC machines, the networking you have installed (and whether you have the interconnect running), the shared disk mechanism (and whether it is confirmed shared raw or ASM), the Oracle software versions, whether your systems passed cluster verify ... we would be wasting our time guessing.

  • Cluster Database Connect Works Only in stand-alone OEM

    When I connect to OEM standalone, I can connect to the cluster database with no problem. When I try to connect with the management server, it gives me the ORA-12514 error. The service name works both in SQLplus and in stand-alone mode.
    My console is running on a windows XP machine, the management server and OEM catalog are on a machine running 9.2, the cluster resides on two other machines running 9.2.
    What do I need to change to get OEM to let me open the cluster database using the management server?

    Try to create a service like this one and try:
    joel.us.acme.com=
    (description=
    (load_balance=on)
    (failover=on)
    (address=(protocol=tcp)(host=host1)(port=1521))

  • Cluster database and payroll database

    please let me know what is a cluster database and payroll database, and what are the structures involved in it.
    please let me know as soon as possible as it is very URGENT.
    ADV THANX
    REGARDS,
    VETRIVEL MURUGAN

    You didn't say what platform you are using. I have done clustering with 11i (CRM and HR/Payroll) on Solaris 8 using Sun Cluster 3.
    If you look at http://docs.sun.com/db?p=prod/cluster you will see a number of documents on the subject of clustering. The Data Services guide will tell you clustering an Oracle database and TNS listeners.
    If you want to cluster other components to failover (Apache, Concurrent Manager, Forms Server) you will have to write start, stop and probe scripts for Sun Cluster 3 GDS to use.
    Payroll is the 11i Application suite that delivers payroll functionality, though Oracle are not the only ones that provide this type of software.

  • Please help - Unable to get the cluster database home page

    I have both the RACDB1 & RACDB2 instances running (and the 2 listeners also) . But I do not get the the cluster database home page. Instead I get startup/shutdown page. EM later confirms both instances are up.
    But how do I connect to the RACDB database to perform any admin work from within EM ?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Ehm. Before placing? At that point ID doesn't know anything at all about the PDF.
    var myPDFFile = File.openDialog("Choose a PDF File");
    myPDFFile.execute();
    Then check the lower left bottom -- it should display the page size.
    Why not first place the file and then check its size? You can always move it to the right position after placing.
    Oh, by the way: "a PDF" doesn't have a "page size". Each single page in a PDF can have a page size of its own.

  • Performance with MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox

    Hi!
    I'm having quite some problems with the performance of MySQL and Database connectivity toolbox. However, I'm very happy with the ease of using database connectivity toolbox. The background is:
    I have 61 variables (ints and floats) which I would like to save in the MySQL-database. This is no problem, however, the loop time increases from 8ms to 50ms when using the database. I have concluded that it has to do with the DB Tools Insert Data.vi and I think that I have some kind of performance issue with this VI. The CPU never reach more the 15% of its maximum performance. I use a default setup and connect through ODBC.
    My questions are:
    1. I would like to save 61 variables each 8-10ms, is this impossible using this solution?
    2. Is there any way of increasing the performance of the DB Tools Insert Data.vi or use any other VI?
    3. Is there any way of adjusting the MySQL setup to achieve better performance?
    Thank you very much for your time.
    Regards,
    Mattias

    First of all, thank you very much for your time. All of you have been really good support to me.
    >> Is your database on a different computer?  Does your loop execute 61 times? 
    Database is on the same computer as the MySQL server.
    The loop saves 61 values at once to the database, in one SQL-statement.
    I have now added the front panel and block diagram for my test-VI. I have implemented the queue system and separate loops for producer and consumer. However, since the queue is building up faster then the consumer loop consumes values, the queue is building up quite fast and the disc starts working.
    The test database table that I add data to is created by a simple:
    create table test(aa int, bb char(15));
    ...I'm sure that this can be improved in some way.
    I always open and close the connection to the database "outside the loop". However, it still takes some 40-50 ms to save the data to the database table - so, unfortunatly no progress to far. I currently just want to save the data.
    Any more advise will be gratefully accepted.
    Regards,
    Mattias

    The other database is working fine and all services are up
    Thanks

    can you see the db registered in CRS by running crs_stat -t, seems like issue with reigtring db with CRS. Please check dbca logs and crs logs for details.

    Please post me Helpful LinksYOu need to understand that ... as far as the database is concerned ... it's not an either/or situation between dedicated and shared server. Setting shared server parameter like DISPATCHERS simply allows the database to handle shared server connections. But it is up to the client to specify which method it wants, and the database will always allow dedicated server connections.
