Help with Resizing LUNS on Hitachi 9980

Hi everyone, I need a little help here resizing my LUNS on our Hitachi 9980. I currently have a 1 TB and I want to increase or resize this to 2 TB. I am wondering if someone can help me here. This is something I haven't done before. Is there a step by step way of doing this. I was told that it could be done off line or online. Which is safer? Do I also need to reboot the Host after the resizing? Thanks for your assistance.

  • Help with resizing adjacent partitions on mirrored drives - Solaris 9 V240

    Hi,
    I need some help here. I'm very new to unix administration. I am running out of space on my /var directory. I have a set of 72G disks that are mirroring each other. The /var is mounted on /dev/md/dsk/d5 which has only 262M available out of 5.8G. Meanwhile the partition adjacent to it /dev/md/dsk/6 which has the /opt/app directory mounted has 5.8G available out of 13G.
    Is it possible for me to take space from the slice 6 and give it to slice 5? How do I do this without loosing any data?
    Here is some info about my system:

    If this isn't possible, it looks like I have about 12G of free space. Partition 7 is only using from 11677-11685 while I could take it up to 11677-14086. I would then have to create the mirror metattach for that partition and then would I just unmount /var and remount it on the new /dev/md/dsk/d7? I'll need help with that. Then what would I do with the unused d5?
    A step by step response would be great! Thanks!

  • Help with resizing document

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to resize my current document.  It is currently 1000px and I want to make it 1300px but when I do that, all the elements that is near the top becomes off the screen to the top...Why is that?  I only want the document to be longer in height from the bottom but not sure what it is affecting the elements on the top?
    Any help appreciated.

    Check you publish settings html scale, you might already have "No Border" selected, try publish with "Show all" or "Exact fit".
    You may also edit the scale from html <param name="scale" value="noborder", try change it to showall or exactfit.
    The swf scale can also be controlled by actionscript Stage.scaleMode
    Don't give up, it is not difficult if you already know the way

  • Help with resizing PDF's

    I am in a company that draws plans for houses, similar to an architects.
    Our problem is we are currently using a 2000i Autodesk cad based program and when we PDF
    our files end up at about 14mb, while we sometimes come across other architects plans which are about 1mb
    I was told to try out adobe acrobat 9pro to test if using out program with adobe we can reduce the PDF’s to 5mb max
    I have tried several different options but the smallest I got was 12mb which meant changing the image quality to 300dpi which is very bad quality
    We need it atleast 600dpi. Can anyone help me out how I must change it so it works out?
    We are using the trial version for now as there is no point paying $500 for the program if it cant reduce the file size to as low as we want it.
    I have tried an optimizer option and distiller and no change in size. the optimizer says that 98.17% of the file consists of content streams.
    Or is it because we are using the trial version that we cant reduce the actual size of PDF’s?
    while if i try and use the PDF option when rightclick on the file itself it leaves it at 3mb the whole file but it comes up as a pure line drawing not hiding the elements that are required.

    The trouble is primary with pictures, not documents.  The logo  is not the
    Adobe logo but looks like a sailboat.  The document says  that it opens with
    Adobe 9.3 (loaded on my computer) but then I get the error  sign.
    Thanks,

  • Help with resizing browsers

    Hi,
    I've created a site that needed a table to contain some images slices and I have noticed at some browser resizes, the don't align perfectly. Slight mis alignments start to occur. Any idea what I may be doing wrong or ow to correct it?
    http://www.7cd7.com/website/index_table.html
    It happens in the "menu" area to the right.
    Thanks!

    I'm not seeing much of anything either.  You could shore a few things up by zeroing out default browser settings.  And you sure could simplify your HTML code if you define some selector rules with CSS instead of using all those ugly span tags in your content code.
    /**zero out browser defaults on everything**/
    * {margin:0; padding:0; line-height: 100%; font-size:100%}
    table {margin:0 auto;} /**center table on screen**/
    p, h1, h2, h3 {margin-top: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 1.2em; line-height:1.5}
    p {color: #fff}

  • Help with resizing rectangles

    I am very new to adobe and have been struggling with a project that I need to do. I have one rectangle the size of 8.5 x 11 and I need to copy the rectangle and then reduce it to 80% of the orginal rectangle. Can anyone help me with this, I have been struggling with this for days.
    Thank You
    Nicole

    To be clearer than what has been written.
    Select the rectangle path and double click the scale tool in the tools panel.
    Enter 80% uniform and click the copy button copy.
    Hitting the copy button alone is all that is necessary to make the copy no need to do this before entering the scale tool options dialog.
    I think Jacob posted this above but put in n extra step that you should not use which is to first copy the rectangle and the enter the scale tool options dialog.
    leave that step out just hit copy when in the scale tool dialog.
    Sorry Jacob it was Larry not like either one of them to add a step both re usually very direct with the lest amount of steps.

  • Help with resizing and import a .psd file

    I have a rather large logo that is a photoshop file. I am trying to scale it down in motion to use on a lower third. when I import the file it is large so I basically drag the handles to resize it. When it gets small the edges are very jagged and lok horrible. Is there something that motion needs to see from the .psd file for a clean import? I have also tried exporting the logo as a smaller file size and the resolution still looks horrible.

    encoding is only for character data.  It is not used for byte data.
    ARQ requires message level transactions which is not supported in UDP. That is the whole point of TCP.  It can bedone but you have to design a message accounting system. Performance is not an issue because Get-Content would usually rad the whole file
    into a buffer and spit it out in pieces. The client would just feed the file to the transport layer so performance for reading the file is not an issue. THe buffer acquisition and design of message accounting is where all performance issues will show up.
    In the past the file could be an issue on a large system with slow disks and limited user memory.  We used stream readers because the system gave special attention to stream IO so it would be fast.  Current systems are so fast and so highly buffered
    that direct block read is actually more efficient.  If you want to control memory footprint with scrolling then use memory mapped IO.   In general, the Internet is till not fast enough to beat the modern computer so that is not usually necessary
    Anyway, good luck with your project no matter what you decide to do.  Remember that encoding is only when you want to translate character data between systems or locales. Unicode to ANSI, ANSI to UTF-8... 
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Help with Resizing an Image

    Hi everyone,
    I have the following code fragment:
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File(filePath));
    Image scaledImage = image.getScaledInstance(100, 100, Image.SCALE_AREA_AVERAGING);
    File outputFile = new File(filePath);
    ImageIO.write(scaledImage, extension, outputFile);What I want to do (in a servlet) is load up an image (gif/jpg) located at filePath, resize it and then save it back in it's original location. I have gotten as far as above, but of course this doesn't compile because the write() method must take a BufferedImage and not Image.
    What modifications do I need to make in order to get this to compile and work?
    Many thanks for your help!

    Hi ,
    try this sample.
        public static void resizeImage() throws IOException {
            File f = new File( "D:/timg/img2.jpg" ) ;
            BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read( f ) ;
            int actualWidth = bi.getWidth() ;
            int actualHeight = bi.getHeight() ;
            // consider to reduce the image to 50%
            int resultWidth = actualWidth / 2 ;
            int resultHeight = actualHeight / 2 ;
            double sx = (float)(resultWidth) / actualWidth ;
            double sy = (float)(resultHeight) / actualHeight ;
            BufferedImage nbi = new BufferedImage( resultWidth , resultHeight , BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB ) ;

  • Help with resizing

    Hi - strange problem here. Have basically used fw to create a
    new ad for my company. As this is to be reproduced in a newspapaer
    I need to ensure that the size is completely accurate. Also need to
    convert to pdf (using adobe online). My problem is that when I am
    trying to resize the image by changing the print size it is not
    allowing me to enter the value I want. The png is currently around
    400px width and the print size is showing as less than 1cm - when I
    am trying to change to a print size of 11 cm its not allowing me to
    do this. Is ther any reason for this ? Or is there any better way
    to resize?
    Thanks in advance for looking at this post and replying.
    Emma

    you should be using a print based app like freehand or
    illustrator
    instead ;)

    I used one of the pre made brush strokes in Ai. When I tried to resize (smaller) The brush thickness stayed the same, although the length did reduce. How do I get the entire stroke to resize the same as my grouped image?
    Thank You

    Ohhh, thank you sooo much, I found it and it worked. Oh
    my god, you just saved my whole project, I can't tell you how
    grateful I am! (hug)

  • Newbie Help with resizing

    I can't seem to figure out how to border a full document with a rectangle. The rectangle needs to have a think black border and transparent filling. How do I do this? I cant find a place to enter in the exact amount of pixels for the rectangle to make sure it is the right size. Then, I can't center it with the doc because the align tools are greyed out. what do i do?

    wakko: to be fair, my pic has inches and I'd stay away from them. Stick to pixels. Also unsaid - you'll need to make the background a layer by double-clicking on the background icon in the layers panel, to be able to extend the canvas by transparent pixels.
    <br />
    <br />Extend the canvas up by 4 pixels, black (2 pixels black stroke). Then make the background a layer. Then extend canvas by 54 pixels (25 pixels transparent "middle", plus two pixels for...). Then select all, and stroke with two pixels (with black as your foreground color), inside.
    <br />

  • Need help with resizing audio regions

    Hey guys,
    When I resize an audio region it seems to snap to maybe 1/128th of the bar to the left or right of the beginning of a bar... (and it changes, sometimes like 1/64) for example:
    I resize an audio region to end it on a bar and instead of it ending on 9 - 0 - 0 it ends on 9 - 0 - .05. So I have to zoom in horizontally to around 90% to get the region to "snap" to the beginning of a bar and its really time consuming.
    This brings me to another question... how can I get logic to zoom in on the time identifier line? not just the middle of the view?
    (example) my view port will be from -1 - 0 - 0 to like 30 - 0 - 0 but the timeline identifier is on 25 - 0 - 0 but it zooms into the middle of the view port to 14 - 0 -0
    Any way to get it to snap to like 1/32 when resizing ?
    Thanks
    J

    Never mind, i found it as soon as i asked.
    THanks

  • [CS3][JS] Help with image resizing

    I'm still a newbie of ID scripting.
    I'm using js scripting in Indesign CS3 to make an auto-impaginator and I have a problem with images.
    I charged my contents from an xml set of tables, that I put into a fixed textFrame of the master page.
    Because of the table needs to fill multiple pages, I made a function that keep creating pages and link the textFrames so that the table continues in various pages.
    In this whole process I have some images too, that I need to resize them to fill the cell, because now they pass the parent cell.
    I found a method that looks at the bounds and resizes the image and the rectangle too, but it doesn't work always, because if a image is overflowing, it hasn't any bound and it fails, and this causes other problems in my process, so I would find another method.
    So:
    Is there another way to resize an image on-the-way while importing it? Some xml attribute or preference?
    Or some method that works also if the image is overflowing?

    These forums are pointless. Adobe must believe that other users will cut the mustard. Absolutely a waste of effort for everyone. Adobe should PAY at least a junior developer involved in the projects to monitor and help with these posts. FLEX rules yeah and thousands more do scripting than develop plug ins...
    Come on Adobe, step up your better than this. Customer Service can be free to the customers ... we are not talking about GET IT ALL FREE, talking about buy it and create a community and support it, but then again LAYERS and INDESIGN SECRETS have people who actually want to help users rather than rabbit hole everything.
    Please join hands and SING...

  • Help with system upgrade for CS6

    Hello. I am hoping you can give me some advice on what to do (or buy) to improve my video editing system.  I am a bit of novice when it comes to the technical/hardware end of things and I’m having some issues with my current system. 
    I working in Adobe CS6 Master Suite on a Windows 7 Ultimate PC.  I mainly use Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Audition.  I create very complete animations and videos with many layers and effects (via Boris & Red Giant).  I also use Skype to record group video calls (with the program Evaer) for a reality T.V. recap show which I also edit with my Adobe suite.  However I have two main problems.
    When I render out a 20 minute premier pro project (with several HD video layers and effects) it takes almost 13 hours.  It seems like this is very long considering my high end components, and set up.  For example I run ONLY my OS off an SSD.  My programs are on another SSD.  The files I use for the video are on another HDD, and I render to another HDD.  I was told by keeping all the aspects on separate hard drives it would speed everything up.  Is that true?  I also am now reading that rendering to a SSD would speed things up.  Should I consider changing my workflow/hard drive set up that way? 
    My other problem is that when I record my Skype group calls of 4 people (with Evaer) to my SSD the audio is always off when I bring it into Premiere.  I don’t know if this is a problem with Evaer, a codec (it records it as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC Codec.  At 1280 X 720 and 30fps), that SSDs auto compress files, or that my system just cant handle it.  Plus Soundblaster & Nvida both seem to active as audio features on my system I don’t know if that effects anything.  Is there any advice any of you have on this issue as well?  Perhaps another program to record skype or group calls?
    Finally… all that aside.  Considering the work I am doing should I just upgrade my system to a better Mobo and graphics card.  I see a lot of people are recommending a dual processor work station.  If so what is a good motherboard, and processor(s) I should get if I build my own workstation?  I have about $4000.00 I could invest in building one if you think would greatly improve my work flow and render times.  I also have a quadro k5000 on the way, and id like to be able to use the memory I have already.
    I realize I am asking a lot of questions.  I would truly appreciate any help, advice or just a point in the right direction.  I have included my current system specs below incase that helps with any of my questions.  If you have any other questions or need more information just let me know.  Thank you again in advance for any help you can provide.

    Eric,
    I would hardly call the Quadro card an upgrade to a GTX 680!
    Regarding getting more speed from a faster MB / CPU, since you already have a 6-core rig with 24GB of RAM I would think that any gains you would get would not be that dramatic.
    Check out your cpu usage (Task manager) and see how busy your cores are during a test render. I am guessing that the Boris and / or Red Giant effects could be jumping your projects from gaining the full multi-core capabilities of the Adobe software.
    Regards,
    Jim
