    I am not positive what you did is going to work, but it seems like you did the equivalent of imaging a small disk on a bigger disk. In that case, the first thing to do is update the partition table with fdisk. Start with fdisk -l in the vm for general information about the disk. Hopefully, the additional space will show. Then, work with fdisk to use the extra space. The easiest is to add a partition, then a file system on it. It is also possible to expand the last partition (you might have to delete it first), then expand what is on it (may be RAID, LVM, or the file system), layer by layer. As usual with fdisk, you run the risk of thrashing it all, so you may want to practice on a copy first. Obviously, the extra space can only be added to the last partition of the small disk.
    If the situation is more complex, you may have to boot a VM with both the small disk and the big disk at the same time. If you boot the VM off of an iso DVD image, you can then shell out, then run fdisk to partition the big disk the way you want, then use dd to copy the partitions you want in the order you want from the small disk. I am pretty sure not all combinations will work, but you get the idea. You can then take the small disk out, and boot off of the big disk.
    Come to think of it, you might just be better off with adding more space as a second virtual disk. You would then be free to partition/format it the way you want without messing with the first disk. Linux is so good with disk management, so many options.
    As a general statement, though, I like to put some distance between the high level file systems and the low level disk partitions, so I use LVM (Logical Volume Manager).
    Best of luck, keep us posted.

  • How can I use Servlets on Sun Java System WebServer 6.1

    Hi
    This is Khurram,
    I have just downloaded, and installed "Sun One Java System Web Server 6.1" on WindowsXP. This is installed and working properly on my system. But I want to use Servlet technology on this server, even I did download it just for working on servlets. Before it, I was using typical JavaWebServer2.0 for this purpose.
    Any ways.
    Can any one tell me, how can I do this on "Java System Web Server 6.1".
    Thanks
    any help will be appriciated
    regards
    Khurram

    Thanks for your such action.
    Actually I have installed it since 2 days, and have read throughly the documentation of WebServer, But Only the Link for this purpose is provided "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications", Now I have just searched for it and found only "Programmer's Guide" .PDF format. I have just read it out now, But here also provided a small refference to see "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications". Now I have just the problem that where to find it.
    Please, tell me if you have some solution to my problem
    or atleast tell me where to find the refference "Programmer's Guide to Web Applications". I tried but only found "Programmer's Guide" for Sun Web Server 6.1.
    Thanks any way to give some time.

  • How do I use pots on my client machine to change values, from the field, on my server machine and all other client machines?

    I am using Lookout 4.5, build 12, and I am having a problem concerning pots. I have data tables created for the different size sewer stations my system monitors. For each station, there are setpoints for starting and stopping of the pumps. I want to be able to change the setpoints for a station on the client file using a pot and have it change on all other machines running Lookout. I did this in 3.8 using DDE, but I don't want to use DDE anymore.
    I created a pot on the client file and URL'ed it to a pot on the server. On the server I created a table with a generic member "A" named "Lead Setp" and then created a member "A1" named
    "C5_1LeadSetp" then a member "A2" named "C3_1LeadSetp" and so on....
    In this table I connected the generic member "A" to the Pot I created on the server, and I connected A1 to its corresponding setpoint signal coming in from the field.
    On the client file I connected (in the table similar to the one on the server but with all signals for the station) the "A1" member to the setpoint signal coming in from the field, and I connected the "A" member to the Pot I created on the client file which is URL'ed to the pot on the server file.
    But, when I change the value of the pot on the client file, only the pot on the server and the "A" member in the table on the server change to the value of the pot on the client. The "A1" member whose screen I am changing the values from on the client does not change! This is the last thing I have to do and my file will be completely converted to 4.0. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks for any responses..

    Hi Jason,
    If I understood your task correctly, you want to change the Setpoints on the Server DataTable using Pots from different clients. And also reflect these changes on the clients locally.
    You correctly remoted the Pots on the Clients to the corresponding Pots on the Server. However, you do not need tables on your clients. All you need is Expressions on each client to the particular cell of the Clients.
    So, to summarize: On the Server, the Pots write to the DataTable. And since the Pots on the Clients are remoted to these Pots on the Server, you can affect any change using these Pots. Because of the common remote source (Server Pots, i.e.) all of these Pots will always be in sync. Finally, to get the Setpoints on the Clients, just insert Expressio
    ns to the Server's DataTable.
    I am attaching a simple example (exmpl.zip) which does this. There are three processes -- My_Server, My_Client1, and My_Client2. I had them setup on the same machine so the paths are all process relative, but you can always change those to computer relative or absolute and move the client processes to diff machines.
    Hope this helps.
    Rgds,
    Khalid

  • How can I use a 5.1 speaker system? Logitech X-540 5.1

    I am looking into buying this:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-540-Multimedia-Speaker-System/dp/B000LBHFMO
    Although, I am aware there aren't enough ports in order for it to work on my laptop.
    How do I go about getting these ports externally? I mean like, an external sound card? Does such a thing exist?
    Thank you

    I imagine there is, but I can't recommend one. It will need an optical audio input through which to receive a 5.1 digital signal from the MBP's headphone port, and a digital-to-analog converter to provide the analog signal that the speakers evidently require.
    I wasn't able to find specs for the speakers to see how many channels of input they expect.

  • How to use the rescue and recovery, and the product recovery discs ?

    Hi everyone,
    I've just recently became a new owner of a T61, and really enjoying it. I haven't had a chance yet to test-drive the lenovo phone support, as I have not yet screwed anything up that bad that required their help. I did try a clean factory reinstall from the service partition and it worked great. I would like to find out, how does one use the rescue and recovery startup disc, and the product recovery discs that I created myself? From my previous experience with Dell and HP, I only had to insert the first one and restart the computer, and the rest followed. But with ThinkPads, if I ever wanted to bring it to a clean factory state using those discs, do I use rescue and recovery first, followed by the product recovery? I'm curious, what is the difference between the two?

    Hi! I'm blake
    There is no diff between the two... One is on  the Hard Drive and the other on CD/DVD.
    Having the HDD version (pre-installed) is a good for trouble shooting.  It uses a whole diff O/S on a whole diff partition (not C.
    So if you are having problems and boot to RnR (via F11), and those problems go away. you know your issue is software related. If you still have the same problems probly Hardware related...  IT IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO TAKE WINDOWS OUT OF THE PROBLEM.
    Other then that. You can re-image another HDD from disks, you can't do that with the F11 version.
    dose all that make sense?
    Hi blake_ibm,
    Thanks. All this makes perfect sense to me, but that's not what I'm asking for. My question is this: if I wanted to bring my notebook to its factory shipped condition using my recovery cd's, how do I do that? Do I insert cd1 first and then restart the notebook, or do I just insert it without restarting it, or perhaps I should use first the rescue and recovery?
    You said that there is no difference between the two, but what two are you talking about man? I am not comparing cd recovery to partition recovery. I am talking about rescue and recovery cd, with system recovery cd's. These are the two things that I'm talking about.
    I'm really grateful for all replies, but please people, read the question first !!!
    I would really appreciate if someone could explain the steps involved in performing a clean factory recovery, using the cd's, and not the recovery partition. I just want to know for the future, in case one day I have to do it. That is all I'm asking.
