Hello @JoBla,
Thank you for the information, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I have read your post on how you are wondering if your desktop computer's hard disk is caching is being used, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
For caching on your computer, you will have needed to install one of the following drives:
1 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
2 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
3 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA
1 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
2 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
3 TB, 7200 rpm, SATA + 16 GB Disk Caching Solid State Drive
128 GB SATA Solid State Drive
256 GB SATA Solid State Drive
It is likely that this caching drive will be shown in Disk Management, which can be accessed by following this document on Partitioning and Naming Drives (Windows 8). It is important to note that an mSATA drive will not be visible in Windows, if you have one installed. You will also need to have Intel RST software installed.
I hope this helps!

  • How do I know if a file is open (being used) by any program?

    I'm trying to write a program that will log file usage. For example, it will log when a file (or program) begins to be used (or opened), and then log when it is closed.
    So what I'm looking for is a method / algorithm that will tell me if a file is currently open (or if an executable fileis currently open, in the case of a program).

    If you mean the ability to do this system wide (and not just in your app) then you would need to use JNI and a HOOK function (assuming this is windows you are talking about). I am sure there are similar hooks in UNIX/LINUX.

  • How do we know the document is revered or not using transaction FBR2?

    Hi
    How do we know the document is revered or not using transaction FBR2?  
    I mean is there any table updates the flag or document number. This document numbers are available in table BKPF.
    I will explain clearly.
    1) If new document is created... then BKPF will created entry with Doc type is "AC"
    2) If above document is reversed using transaction FBR2.... then table BKPF will create document with doc type "AD".
    But How would we knows Document type "AC "is reversed or not? Is there any field will update for this doc is reversed or not?

    Well, you aren't getting the correct response because you're using the wrong term and likely the posters aren't familiar with FBR2.  FBR2 is not a reversal transaction.  When you use FBR2, you are simply generating a REVERSE posting, not a 'reversal' or cancellation.  The REVERSE (meaning 'opposite') posting is made according to the configuration you have for your document types and posting keys.  The only way you can identify this is via the TCODE field.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I'm sure that your Mac isn't being backed up on iCloud, because Macs can't be backed up on iCloud (that's for iPhones, iPods touch and iPads).

    How do I know if my purchased music is being saved to the "cloud" so I don't need to do any other storage?

    You're purchased music is not so much saved to the cloud, but rather indexed, since it is already in the cloud by virtue of being in the iTunes store.
    If you want to check whether your purchases are being indexed or not, go to the purchased section on the main page of the iTunes store. There you will see a list of all your purchased items.

  • How could I find which i-views/pages are being used

    Hello
    I am pritty new in portal area. I have to administrate an ESS/MSS portal during hollydays. I am trying to find everywhere the way.
    How could I find which i-views/pages are being used. Let say I can see which group I belong and which roles are behind.
    How could I know in which PCD folder they are taken into account (to e.g give permission to someone not in the group)

    HI,
    the user administration (UME) gives you the information about the user <-> group <-> role assignment.
    When you know the role, search in the PCS for it, open the role and you will see all the pages / iviews assigned to the role.

    Hi Frank,
    mSATA is just a mini-onboard SATA connector where a small circuit board (msata device) can be inserted.  Typically it's used as a way with small form factor devices to add SSD like performance.
    You can change the SATA controller mode from the default AHCI setting to RAID in the bios.  Use Computer Setup to enter the bios. Tapping the ESC key right after power on the PC should bring up a menu selection.
    If you run into problems then let us know.

    hi onedbaguru,
    thanks for the reply.
    my questions are still there.
    As per my plans: i shall use 200GB as ASM DG1 with external redudency, 80GB as ASM DG2 with external redudency and ASM 100GB and each 2GB for voting and OCR with external redudency.
    1. My Question is: how to do it command by command? what i need is, what do from current state and how to do so that my Disks are ready for OCR,VD and ASM assuming if i have no support for system/storage admin?
    2. Do i need to leave first MB for all disks including OCR, VD and ASM Disks as well?
    3. If this thread needs to be moved to some other group then please suggest how to do it?
    Point#3 is not important at all, i would love to see some expert DBA replying me here.
    Waiting for Expert guide.
    Regards,

  • How Do I know When Edge or WIFI is in use?

    I have read many of the discussion forums and the manual and many other blogs. Bottom line is the phone will not work as a phone if the phone is using the edge network. Is there a way to know you are using your edge network? Does using the WIFI prevent the phone from being a phone? I have woke up my phone many times to find that Safari is still on the page I last used. Or an application like GasBag. Does this mean it could not recieve a call while asleep but connected to Edge or WIFI? Is it really disconnected? How do you know?

    Check the symbol next to the carrier name (just to the right of the AT&T in your case). It shows for Wi-Fi, 3G for the 3G network, E for the EDGE network, and a dot for the GPRS network. If connected to Wi-Fi or 3G, you can access data and voice at the same time. On EGDE or GPRS, you can access data or voice, not both simultaneously (meaning if you're in the middle of a download, a call will go straight to voicemail).

  • How to see what percent of your MacBook is being used for what

    How can I know how much of my MacBook is being used up? I remember someone in MacBook store went into some kind of folder but I forgot

    What exactly do you want to know? When you post a question here you need to be as specific as possible otherwise we have no idea how to advise you.
    Do you need to know how much space is available on your hard drive? If so you can double-click on the drive icon on your Desktop. At the bottom center of the Finder window you should see how much space is available. You can also select the drive icon. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the upper section you will see information on how much space is used and available.

  • How to see where all the master data is being used

    Hi Gurus:
    How to see say master data XYZ is being used in ODS, IC...ETC
    Thanks & Regards

    hi MK K,
    to check the characteristic value is used by which infoproviders, you may try
    rsa1->infoobject->choose the characteristic->'master data maintenance', select the row for that characteristic value, and button 'delete' (trash icon) and 'save', you will get a message 'master data cannot be deleted'.
    transaction slg1, object RSDMD, subobject MD_DEL, and execute, in next screen double click the top node, you will see the log, message text in below panel, e.g 'master data xyz(SID xxxxx) is used in /.../...'
    xyz = characteristic value
    /.../... = table name, can be dimension table of infocube, e.g /bic/d[infocubename]x, then you know which data target used the value.
    hope this helps.

  • How to check if a DSO Active Table is being used in any look-up's?

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a DSO that is being loaded on a weekly basis. Now this DSO is being loaded right from the time our project went live. There are no reports built on top of this DSO and the DSO is not being used as a Data Mart i.e. it doesn't feed any other DSO's or InfoCube's. Also this DSO is not being used in any MultiProviders.
    So the only sensible reason for using this DSO that we can think of is that the data from this DSO is being 'looked up' by some other DSO's or InfoCube at run-time. So Is it possible to check if the active data table of an DSO is being ;looked up' at run time by some other data loads? I already tried using an 'Where Used List' on the active data table of the DSO, but it didn't show any results.
    Thanks
    Arvind

    Try the following:
    Check the table RSAABAP in SE16, you can search the technical name of DSOs active table in field EDIC.
    You get all Code-IDs, where this table is used in ABAP coding.
    In RSAROUT you can check, which code-type it is.
    Now you know, if the DSO is used in any routines.
    Hope this helps.

  • CE500 CFS Disk is not being used at all

    This is a new installation using WCCP v2. Even though the engine is registered with the IOS router and the router is definitely forwarding traffic to the CE, no disk space is being utilized at all and my savings is reported as 0. I've verified that the CFS volume is mounted successfully. Here is my current CFS disk stats:
    Volume0 49.754 G 0 K 0 K 0 K 0 K 0 K
    Thanks in advance.

    This happens when you get a lot of disk errors . This is most likely the cause of the problem. Reconfigure the disks and reboot. Once the CE comes back up, let it run for sometime after which you could check if you are getting any logs on your CFS disk.
