How do I create a recovery partition or disk for Mavericks?

Suggestions for the capacity of a USB flash memory stick are in the 8GB+ range.
Methods of how to create bootable OS X 10.9.x system on a USB flash vary a little...
results of search: https://www.google.com/#q=Mac+OS+X+Mavericks+USB+key
This one suggests get third-party utility to help do it [ http://diskmakerx.com/ ]
and tells of a way without it, by use of Terminal utility in the OS X:

Advice on how to build a business case for partitioning

Hi Everyone,
I'm the architect of a business intelligence/data warehouse team. We've grown to the point where I believe we need database partitioning. I believe we are at about 1.5 TB of data. Our largest tables are in the 100 million row counts with relatively wide record lengths (~100 columns). Our just sort of large tables are in the 10 million to 50 million range, however, they have very long row lengths (~300 columns). Based on our future source system plans, our data will become even more granular and there is still a need to maintain our historical data.
Those aren't the only reasons, but are some of the larger driving issues that are making most members of our team think it's time we purchased database partitioning. Our team is pretty unanimous for partitioning, many of our source system partners also consider it a "no-brainer", however, we're getting push back from our CIO saying that 1.5 TB and 100 million records isn't that much data as compared to other "big data" companies and that it doesn't require partitioning.
Does anyone have a advice on how to build an business case for purchasing partitioning? Is there a good way to demonstrate cost-vs-benefit value?
Thanks for your feedback.
-=Joe

I'm going to be contrarian and start from the end of your post.

Yes - forget about cost-vs-benefit. That's the CIOs job not yours. You're an architect. Stick to architecture. Design and implement the architecture needed to meet the business requirements of your projects. If you are given requirements that can't be met with your current infrastructure then that is when you should propose alternative infrastructure.

NONSENSE! That's what ALL of the above statements represent - UTTER AND ABSOLUTE NONSENSE.
Who cares what you believe? Beliefs don't carry weight, facts do. You do list some facts: 1.5 TB of data, 100 million row counts, wide record lengths, large sorts, long rows, data will get more granular, need to maintain historical data.
Ho Hum! So what? How do ANY of those facts indicate any sort of issue or problem, existing or potential, at all? They don't. You haven't provided information that suggests that ANY of those facts illustrate what Justin referred to as 'pain points'.
Unless those facts prevent you from doing your job of providing an architecture that meets the business requirements you don't have a leg to stand on.
My first reaction to your request would be similar to your cio's. Implicit in your cio's response are some questions you need to ask and answer
1. What is it that you do now that you can't do with the current architecture?
2. What is it that you need to do for an upcoming requirement that you can't do with the current architecture?
3. What alternatives are available to modify the current architecture to do what can't be done in items #1 and #2 above?
That #3 is where my skepticism lies. You seem to have already concluded that partitioning is the answer. Why? What problems do you think it will solve? Why not RAC? Why not a separate data warehouse system? Why not split that historical data off into an OLAP system? Maybe that can reduce the size of the OLTP system to where you won't have whatever problems you are having.
Partitioning is just about addressing some performance issues. A lot of times partitioning is used more for management purposes such as loading/offloading data without impacting those huge tables you are talking about.
If my hot queries use a primary key value to retrieve data it isn't going to matter much if the tables are partitioned or not.
That is what sets the context for what Justin is telling you. You and your team need to document the constraints (and SLAs) your system currently has, how close you are to hitting those constraints, your options for avoiding/evading those constraints using the current infrastructure and the options for avoiding/evading those constraints using a modified architecture.
It is up to the CIO to do the cost-benefit analysis of working within the limits imposed by the current infrastructure versus modifiying the architecture.

How to install a recovery partition

After installing 10.10.1 - 14B25 I no longer have a recovery partition. The OS X 10.10.1 works fine but I am lost on how to add a recovery partition. Some help on how to after the fact create an OS X 10.10 .1 recovery partition will be appreciated. I failed to save the 10.10 installer

BINGO.... I downloaded the full installer 5 GB and ran it over my 10.10.1 Macintosh HD with no Recover Partition. Bingo, I now have my primary HD back with an updated 10.10.1 Recover Partition
Kappy,
I though your assessment was correct; however, it worked for me and I did NOT have to erase my Macintosh HD
All is well again and it was a time consuming learning experience and I now have a 10.10.1 Recovery Partition

i lost my recovery partition for hp dv6 63300ee, with windows 7 home,, what can i do to back it?

Hi,
This assumes that Windows 7 was the original OS that your notebook came with.
If you created a set of Recovery Discs you can use these to reinstall the original OS - they will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the Hard Drive as well as reinstalling all your original software. Remember this is a destructive process, so back up any personal files etc that you wish to keep before reinstalling the Operating System.
If you don't have your original Recovery Discs, you can order a replacement set using the link below.

If you have any problem with this link, order them directly from HP.

How to create rescue and recovery partition for my thinkpad edge 11

Hi,
I'm using thinkpad edge 11 with win 7 home Premium 32 bit.
Before, i tried to restore to factory setting, there is a drive partition of rescue and recovery in my thinkpad.
But, when I was trying to restore to factory setting, I missed the steps and made the drive partition of rescue and recovery formatted.
So, now, I don't have it again in my thinkpad.
Then, after that, appeared another drive partition in my thinkpad with name S: Sytem, beside C: WIndow7 and D: Data.
So, I need the solution from you all as knowing more about thinkpad edge in this forum.
1. How I remove the unkwon drive, S: System from my thinkpad?
2. How I can create again the rescue and recovery partition on my thinkpad(wih Win 7 Home premium 32bit installer inside plus all the drivers)?
Thanks...

Hello mate,
To restore the Q: partition you have to use the Lenovo Recovery Discs. Hope you burn them before erasing the partition, otherwise you have to order them from Lenovo.

How to install a recovery partition after installing a new Hard drive? and FileVault help.

Hi,
I recently swapped out hard drives and when I did a Time Machine backup to the new drive, I noticed there was no Recovery HD partition for my drive. Is there a way to install it back on my MacBook Pro (Late 2011, running 10.7.4)?
On a slighlty different topic FileVault won't let me encrypt my new HD it says "Some disk formats don’t support the recovery partition required by encryption. To use encryption, reinstall this version of Mac OS X on a reformatted disk."
What formatting does my disk require for FV to be turned on? Currently it is Mac OS Extended (journaled)
If there is a solution to solve both these issues, or any one issue it would be appreciated.

The formatting being referred to is actually the presence of the Recovery Disk.
You can't enable FV2 without a recovery partition being present. The reason is strictly logical: if your entire disk was encrypted, how could you run the unencryption procedure you need to start up? That would itself be hidden behind the encryption. Hence, for FV2 to be able to work, you must have a Recovery disk present.
When you boot up with FV2 enabled, the login screen you see to enter your password is actually running from the recovery disk (invisible to the user). After you enter your password, recovery boots your encrypted partition and logs you in to your account.

How to put a recovery partition on the hard drive

How can I create a recovery partition on the hard drive of my laptop. I had to reinstall the whole system, and tried to use the HP recovery software they sent me but it quit when it was about three quarters the way finished. I had to use a copy of windows 8 to put the system back on my laptop. After I got it all straighten out, I updated it to windows 8.1 and it seems like the computer runs a lot faster with windows 8.1 on it. Now I need to find away to install a recovery partition on my hard drive.
Thank You

When requesting assistance, please provide the complete model name and/or product number of the HP computer in question. HP/Compaq makes thousands of models of computers. Without this information it may be difficult or impossible to assist you in resolving your issue.
The above requested information can be found on the bottom of the computer or inside the battery compartment. Please do not include the serial number. Please enter the model/product information into HP's Online Consumer Support page and/or post it here for our review.
A Recover partition is something the factory places on the computer. It is an image of the factory installation and the software required to restore the computer to a factory like state using that image. You will not be able to create a Recovery partition on your computer unless you use the HP Recovery Discs to return the computer to a factory like state. Please note the HP Recovery Discs and the resulting HP Recovery partition will only contain an image of Windows 8 that cannot be updated to reflect the installation of Window 8.1.
My suggestion is to use the Windows "System Image Backup" utility to create an exact image of the Windows 8.1 partition as it currently is. If your computer developes an issue or you need to replace the hard drive, all you have to do is "restore" the image to the computer. You will need to use an external USB hard drive or other media to store the image. Please see Windows 8.1 Tip: Use System Image Backup for instructions on creating and storing a "Windows - System Image Backup."
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

How To Get My Recovery Partition as i got by default

Can You please help me ?
How can i get recovery drive as default and recover to original Factory Installation ?

When you first setup your computer, your should have created a set of Recovery Discs as recommended by HP. If your computer is still functional and the recovery partition (D: drive) is still intact, you can attempt to set to the "D:" drive as "Active" using the Windows Disk Management console and rebooting the computer. If you are lucky the HP Recovery Manager will boot and guide you through recovering your computer to a factory like state.
If not, you will need to order a set of HP Recovery Discs from HP or third party vendor ComputerSurgeons.com
Please send KUDOs

How to delete lion recovery partition

i have mac book air 13inch with 128g hdd
when i install lion, it creats lion recovery partition on my HDD
and it does not clear out and stays all the time
i want to delete the lion recovery partition and make my HDD united to only one partition
how can i do this?
it there any way to do this?
help me~~~

You could, but not recommended. The recovery partition is
there so that you can repair or re-install Lion if necessary.
I don't recall, but I think some people have had issues with
some Mac models booting Lion if a Recovery HD is not
present. Not sure if the Air is one.
First, to be safe, you should probably make a USB stick
installer or DVD for Lion should things go south on you and
have to reinstall from scratch.
Next,the simplest approach would be to clone your Lion
install to an external, bootable hard drive using either
Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. When that is
complete boot to that volume then reformat the internal
volume, then clone the external volume back.
Don't interrupt any of the processes or you could
end up with a MacBrick.
