How to encapsulate virtual disk under veritas Storage Foundation 6.0 on Solaris 10 Sparc

Hi all I'm trying to encapsulate a disk under Veritas SF 6.0 but the system return the following
bash-3.2# vxdisk list
DEVICE       TYPE            DISK         GROUP        STATUS
c0d0s2       auto:ZFS        -            -            ZFS
c0d1s2       auto:none       -            -            online invalid
c0d2s2       auto:none       -            -            online invalid
the computer is a virtual computer and when I try the etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c0d1 format=sliced command
it send back the following message VxVM vxdisksetup ERROR V-5-2-43 c0d1: Invalid disk device for vxdisksetup.
I need your help Community.

Here is the text from the download site from 10.3.3 that applies to 10.3.0 as well:
Note: This table includes links to WebLogic Server installers that include 32-bit JVMs for the platform
in question, and links to WebLogic Server generic installers that can be used on any supported platform.
To use WebLogic Server with 64-bit JVM's on Linux and Solaris or to use WLS on other supported
platforms, use the WebLogic Server generic installer listed under "Additional Platforms". The generic
installers do not include a JVM/JDK. For instructions on using the generic installers, see this document.
So regardless whether the OS is 64bit or not, you need to select the installer on whether you are running WebLogic Server in a 32bit JVM or a 64bit JVM. If you run in a 32bit JVM, you can use the 32bit binary installer for Solaris that has a .bin extension. If you are going to run a 64bit JVM, then you need to download the "generic" .jar installer and separately download the supported 64bit JDK and follow the instructions similar to this, but for 10.3.0.

Migrating Oracle from Solaris to Linux: Trouble converting FileSystem metadata with fscdsconv in Linux (Veritas Storage Foundation)

Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of migrating an Oracle DataBase from Solaris 5.10 server to Linux Red Hat 6.4, the storage used is SAN and volumes managed by Veritas Storage Foundation on Solaris
At this point, I'm trying to convert the byte order of some volumes that come from Solaris in my Linux server using the following command:
/opt/VRTS/bin/fscdsconv -y -e -f /tmp/vxConv/dbtemp01.tmp -t os_name=Linux,arch=x86 /dev/vx/rdsk/dgtemp/dbtemp01
Note: Because of the text formating, the above command could span several lines, but I'm executing it in just one
And I get the following errors:
UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-20012: not a valid vxfs file system
UX:vxfs fscdsconv: ERROR: V-3-24426: fscdsconv: Failed to migrate
Searching for a solution of these errors in the Veritas forums, I've found this post, where the user mikebounds gives some steps to migrate Solaris to Linux. I've found that I've replicated these steps but I get stuck on the fscdsconv because the beforementioned errors.
Does anyone know what could be happening here or have any sugestion to share?
Software Versions involved:
RHEL 6.4 x86_64
Veritas Storage Foundation Enterprise 6.2.0.100 on Linux
Solaris 5.10
Veritas 5.0 on Solaris
Disk layout v7
vxfs filesystem format
Oracle 10g
Thank you very much in advance for any help/ideas to solve this
Best regards

Expand virtual disk on sun storage 6140

I have configured sun storage 6140, but volume is %100.
How could i expand virtual disk without data lose?
How could i add any disk storage pool?
thanks..
regards..

Hi Dan,
Do you mean that you cannot mount the Journal virtual drives on the Storage Space? Please run the command “Get-VirtualDisk” to check the status of the virtual disk.
You could run the command below to make your storage space read-only.
Get-VirtualDisk –Friendlyname name_of_your_space | Get-Disk | Set-Disk –IsReadOnly $true
For more detailed information, you could refer to the article below:

Unbreakable oracle linux- cannot install veritas storage foundation

can install storage foundation 5.1 on redhat 5.5 same box and it works fine. When upgraded to unbreakable kernel, veritas becomes broken.
if install kernel first, then try storage foundation install, gets this error:
This release of VxVM is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
Please install the appropriate OS
and then restart this installation of VxVM.
error: %pre(VRTSvxvm-5.1.100.000-SP1_RHEL5.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
error: install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping VRTSvxvm-5.1.100.000-SP1_RHEL5
I have looked and have found nothing that says it shouldn't work. Any ideas?

Not yet BUT have found this doc:
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH50963&key=56211&actp=LIST
It appears that it is supported if you can reproduce the issue. Thing is the issue is the installation of the storage foundation packages. That works fine under standard linux kernel.
My question to you is if you have seen storage foundation work with the unbreakable kernel.

Information about Sun Cluster 3.1 5Q4 and Storage Foundation 4.1

Hi,
I have 2 Sunfire V440 with Solaris 9 last release 9/05 with last cluster patchs.. , Qlogic HBA fibre card on a seven disks shared on a Emc Clariion cx500. I have installed and configured Sun cluster 3.1 and Veritas Storage Foundation 4.1 MP1. My problems is when i run format wcommand on each node, I see the disks in a different order and veritas SF (4.1) is also picking up the disks in a different order.
1. Storage Foundation 4.1 is compatible with Sun cluster 3.1 2005Q4?????
2. Do you have a how to or other procedure for Storage foundation 4.1 with Sun Cluster 3.1.
I'm very confuse with veritas Storage foundation
Thanks!
J-F Aubin

This combination does not work today, but it will be available later.
Since Sun and Veritas are two separate companies, it takes more
time than expected to synchronize releases. Products supported by
Sun for Sun Cluster installation undergo extensive testing, which also
takes time.

Storage Foundation Manager

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this question - if so please advise.
I've installed Storage Foundation Basic on some of my servers, and Storage Foundation Manager on one Solaris box to manage all the storage.
I easily got VEA on the manager to connect to the otehr hosts and do some basic volume management on them, but I cannot seem to get the actual Storage Foundation Manager web gui (on port 8443) to recognise my hosts. The inventory on there is full of 0s, and I can't see any obvious menu items to let me connect to my hosts or "discover them".
Has anyone used Storage Foundation Manager in a Solaris environment? Any advice welcome.
Cheers,
GXW

After installiing the SFM packages on the central server, you have to go to each of the managed hosts and migrate the managed host to report to the central server.
try these steps
-login to the manage host
- cd /opt/VRTSmh/bin
-./migrate central_mode -d <central server FQHN> -p <you agent password>
SFM 2.0 is releasing in a couple of days and there is no need to do anything on the managed host to get this reporting except installing the managed host package. You just install the CS packages on the central server and the managerd host package on the MH and you can add the MH to the CS using the webgui.

Unable to repair degraded Virtual disks in Storage Spaces under Hyper-V 2012 R2 Core

Hi all,
I am finding myself in the following conundrum. I have a storage pool under Hyper-V Core, with 2 2TB Seagate drives.
One of the drives completely died (wouldn't spin up, tried it in a different box, still to no avail). I sent it in to Seagate for warranty replacement, got the new drive. Installed it and went through the notions of adding it to the pool and retiring the
one that was with "Lost Communication" status.
Tried to repair the virtual disks that are showing as "Unhealthy-Detached", quickly get 100% complete, but the repair didnt work.
The storage pool is in degraded state.
Looks like metadata is corrupted.
Followed this post to upgrade Storage Spaces to latest version:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/eead59e9-5e49-4bb6-8cbb-1dafddd9576b/unable-to-repair-degraded-virtual-disks-in-storage-spaces-2012r2?forum=winserverfiles
Still, to no avail.
Couple of questions:
1) Is the data on the 3 virtual disks in state "Unhealthy: Detached" not recoverable?
2) How can I get the storage pool back to "healthy"?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How to move a virtual disk's physical allocation within a Storage Pool

I have a pool of 3x500GB where one the physical drives is having intermittent issues. Currently, there is only one parity Virtual Disk of 300GB Fixed across 3 columns. I want to replace the bad drive with a good one. The old way (pre-2012) was replace the
disk, repair the RAID 5, resync and done. These basic steps are not working.
So far I have added a 4th 500GB drive to the pool. After searching and failing to find a way to move the data non-destructively, I decided to just pull the data cable on the disk I wanted to replace. After refresh/rescan, the disconnected drive shows "lost
communication" and the virtual disk (after trying to repair) shows "unknown" (but the volume on that disk is accessible in Explorer). When I try to remove the physical disk in Server Manager, I get "The selected physical disk cannot
be removed". Reading the error message, I see that the replacement disk cannot contain any part of a virtual disk. The replacement disk that I just added appears to have some space allocated (possibly because I have tried this same procedure a couple
of times already?). When I look at the parity disk properties/health, it shows all four physical disks under "physical disks in use".
I have deleted and recreated a lot of storage pools lately while trying to understand how they work but I would like to avoid that this time. The data on the virtual disk in question is highly deduplicated and it took quite a while to get it that way. Since
I can't find a way to copy/mirror the disk while keeping it fully deduplicated, I would need 3x the space to copy it all off, or a lot of time to load up and deduplicate a new virtual disk.
I have several questions:
1. How can a 3 column parity disk use parts of four physical disks? And can that be fixed without recreating the virtual disk?
2. When creating a virtual disk (for example a 3 column disk in a pool that has four or more physical drives), is there a way to specify which physical disks to use?
3. I understand that after a physical disk failure, the recovery process will move a virtual disk's allocation to a replacement disk, but can a virtual disk's allocation be moved manually among physical disks within the same storage pool
using a PS script?
4. Can a deduplicated virtual disk be moved/mirrored/backed up without expanding the data?
Any help is appreciated.

Im still fighting with storage pools and need more tests to be done and have a lot of questions my self but ther goes what I understood so far.
You may define physical disks used for virtual disk by Powershell ,
for list of all commands follow this:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848705(v=wps.620).aspx ,
specific command defining physical disks to be used on already existing virtual disk:
Example 4: Manually assigning physical disks to a virtual disk
This example gets two physical disks that have already been added to the storage pool and designated as ManualSelect disks,
PhysicalDisk3 and PhysicalDisk4, and assigns them to the virtual disk
UserData.

How to configure local disk on OVM Server as storage space to create VMs

Hello,
We have installed OVM Server 3.1.1 on a machine that has 250 GB of Hard disk space [Single disk].
While installing used an option - Remove all partitions and create a new default partition layout.
Around 4GB has been used and remaining 246 GB is left as free space.
From OVM Manager - the server is discovered but didn't discovered the physical disk [i.e. remaining 246 GB raw disk space].
Can someone help me to understand how to use local disk as storage space for creating and running VM's.
Thanks
Srinivas

You can? You've used every conceivable BIOS out there? You must really be full of yourself. There is absolutely no BIOS that I know of that gives this basic function. BIOSs do not "hard partition" anything. A "BIOS" is not made for such things. Do you even know what "BIOS" stands for?
I wonder why there is some many wanting to do this and are having problems.... I mean if it is such a straight forward thing to do..... It must be down right "intuitive".
You maybe speaking of a RAID "BIOS" but you obviously think you're not. Some motherboards have integrated RAID abilities. Intel RST comes to mind... BUT this isn't a feature of a MOTHERBOARD BIOS.
I've got some $50,000 servers that will not break a single hard drive up into multiple logical drives..... Now, I haven't worked on a "Stinkpad" for many years. Don't want to. However, I have never seen one that would do what you're saying you're doing.
You maybe trying to help.... but you're leading people down a wrong path.
Its just as easy to run virtual box and use the virtual box templates for Oracle VM. In fact, its more practical if you want to run Oracle VM on a laptop for testing purposes than blowing everything away and attempting to setup different LUNS on a single hard drive.
For your review...
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/servers-storage-admin/configure-vm-templates-1656261.html
Although it's more reliable to use a separate location (such as an NFS share) for a storage repository, you can use a local disk of your Oracle VM Server instead, thus taking advantage of the local storage option. Beware, though: Oracle VM Server 3.0 doesn't allow you to utilize the unused space on the physical disk it's installed on. For local storage, you'll need at least one more physical disk. In other words, you'll need a total of two disks at minimum on your Oracle VM Server host if you want to use local storage. In practice, though, local storage is not a primary use case. The major downside to this approach is that local storage, by definition, cannot be shared between different servers.

Storage Spaces: Virtual Disk taken offline during file copy, marked as "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity", but plenty of free space

Server 2012 RC. I'm using Storage Spaces, with two virtual disks across 23 underlying physical disks.
* First virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across 23 physical disks: 10,024GB capacity
* Second virtual disk is fixed provisioning, parity across the remaining space on 6 of the same physical disks: 652GB capacity
These have been configured as dynamic disks, with an NTFS volume spanned across the two (larger virtual disk first). Total volume size 10,676GB. For more details of the hardware, and why the configuration is like this, see: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winserver8gen/thread/c35ff156-01a8-456a-9190-04c7bcfc048e
I'm copying several TB from a network share to this volume. It is very slow at ~12MB/sec, but works. However, three times so far, several hours in to the file copy and with plenty of free space remaining, the 10,024GB virtual disk is suddenly taken offline.
This obviously then fails the spanned volume and stops the file copy.
The second time, I took screenshots, below. The disk (Disk27) is marked offline due to "This disk is offline because it is out of capacity". And the disk in the spanned volume is marked as missing (which is what you would expect when one of its member disks
is offline).
I can then mark the disk (Disk27) back online again, and this restores the spanned volume. I can then re-start the file copy from where it failed. There doesn't appear to be any data loss, but it does cause an outage that requires manual attention. As you
can see, there is plenty of space left on the spanned volume.
Each time this has happened, there are a few event 150 errors in the System event log: "Disk 27 has reached a logical block provisioning permanent resource exhaustion condition.". Source: Disk.

This error seems to be related to thin provisioning of disks. I found this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/hh848068(v=vs.85).aspx. But both these Virtual Disks are configured as Fixed, not Thin provisioning, so it shouldn't apply.
My thoughts: the virtual disk should not spuriously go offline during a file copy, even if it was out of space. And in any case, there is plenty of free space remaining. Also, I don't understand the reason for why it is marked as offline ("This disk is offline
because it is out of capacity"). Why would a disk go offline because it was out of thin capacity, rather than just returning an "out of disk space" error while keeping it online.

Interesting Thread, I've been having the same issue. I had a failed hardware RAID that was impossible to recover in place, so after being forced to do a 1:1 backup, I find myself with 5 2TB hard drives to play with. Storage Spaces seemed like an interesting
way to go until I started facing the issues we share.
So my configuration is A VM Running Windows Server 2012 RC with 5 Virtualized Physical drives using a SCSI interface, 2TB in size that make up my storage pool. A Single Thinly provisioned Disk of 18 TB (using 1 disk for parity)
Interestly enough, write speed has not been an issue on this machine (30~70MB/s, up from 256k on the beta)
Of note to me is this error in my event log 13 minutes before the drive disappeared:
"The shadow copies of volume E: were deleted because the shadow copy storage could not grow in time.Consider reducing the IO load on the system or choose a shadow copy storage volume that is not being shadow copied."Source: volsnap, Event ID: 25, Level: Error
followed by:
"The system failed to flush data to the transaction log. Corruption may occur in VolumeId: E:, DeviceName: \Device\HarddiskVolume17.(The physical resources of this disk have been exhausted.)"Source: Ntfs (Microsoft-Windows-Ntfs), Event ID: 140, Level: Warning
I figure the amount of space available to me before I start encountering physical limits is in the vicinity of about 7TB. It dropped out for the second time at 184 GB.
FYI, the number of columns created for me is 5

How to add a virtual disk into a 'guest VM' after VM has been created?

Well, it was easy when one need to add a virtual disk before creating a guest VM. All need to do was to edit the template and click on disk tab and create a virtual disk.
However the challenge comes after created a 'guest VM'. I need to add additional virtual disk into this 'guest VM'.
This is what I did.
Click on Repositories tab --> Under repositories--> Virtual Disks. There is a green "+" sign. Click on it. It says create virtual disk. Follow the instruction, I enter the virtual disk name, size, and select if it is spare or non-spare. Hit ok. Well, everythings seems fine.
Next, I click on the "blue folder" icon which indicated import virtual disk. It asked me about Virtual disk download location.
According to the manual, http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27300_01/E27309/html/vmusg-repo.html#vmusg-repo-vdisk
Virtual Disk download location: The URL for the virtual disk file. The URL protocols supported are HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. For example:http://example.com/vdisks/myvdisk.img
How can I determine what is the URL in my case?
Where is the newly created virtual disk located? Isn't it supposed to be in Oracle Server? But it doesn't have a http server running there.
Please help.
Thank you.

Virtual disks can only be added and removed at runtime from a PVM. You don't even need to know anything special. Just create the vdisk and use the VMs settings to occupy another slot with the new vdisk.
But as I said… this works only with PVMs, not HVMs. In case of a HVM, you will need to shut down the VM and add the disk afterwards, then fire it back up.
The little folder with the blue down arrow is for importing an existing vdisk file from a web- or ftp server. If you have already created the vdisk, you won't need that.

The storage where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing

Hi everyone,
I deployed 2 hyper v vitual machines a while ago, and i did that because I needed to test my current game Project, which is an
online game. However, i've had some problems with my Windows installation then I had to reset the pc by making it a refresh
install. I still have the hyper v virtual disks, but i cannot attach it to a new hyper-v virtual machine. it pops up this message:
"the storage
where the virtual hard disk is located does not support virtual disk sharing". I dont know anything about virtual machines, so I
didnt know I had to make the disk sharable. How can I force to attach the hard disk to a new hyper-v? I dont want to go t
hrough the whole proccess of installing the operating system all over again and updating it....
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Romulo Romero

Hi MrDebugging,
>>
When I Try to add a SCSI Controller, and then I click browse to add a UNC I get this:
C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks\ClienMachine.vhdx
but I tried placing in different location, and the same problem occurs!
By the way, Im not on a server , I am a domestic user and I am running it on my
Windows 8.1
According to the error message , it seems that it is not a permission issue .
The VM is Gen 1 or Gen2 ?
Generally the error message occurs when you enable "shared vhdx" on standalone/client hyper-v host :
Please try to attach the VHDx file to IDE controller if it is a Gen 1 virtual machine (because only the SCSI controller has the option "virtual hard disk sharing" and Gen 1 VM only can boot from IDE )
All in all , please do not use this feature without CSV or Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage .
If it is not the case , please detail steps what you did .
Best Regards,
Elton Ji

Unable to repair degraded Virtual disks in Storage Spaces 2012R2

Hi all,
I have an anoying problem that I cannot seems to find a solution for.
I have a 2 node Failover Cluster with CSV-volumes consisting of 2 HP DL360 servers with 2 LSI 9300-16e HBAs each, connected to 3 Supermicro JBOD-cases with a total of 84 disks. With Storage spaces I have made 1 Pool with 6 virtual disks and 3 of these disks
are Degraded. However, when I look at the physical disks they are all fine and healthy, if I try to repair the disks it finishes without any error messages but the disk is still Degraded.
OS = Windows Server 2012R2

Repair Degraded Storage Spaces Virtual Disk - All physical disks show healthy

I've seen this mentioned a few times but no definitive answers. I have a Storage Pool with 8 physical disks. Each physical disk shows as healthy and auto select. I have thick provisioned Virtual Disk created on this Storage Pool in a parity configuration.
This virtual disk is configured for the maximum amount on the storage pool. 50% of the space is available on the volume of the virtual disk...I click repair it does nothing.
Tested yanking a physical disk. Virtual disk becomes unavailable. No redundancy currently. How the heck do I fix this???

Hi,
First please try to run a repair again with Powershell cmdlet:
Repair-VirtualDisk
If issue still exists please try optimize to see if it will help:
Optimize-Volume
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected].
Repair-VirtualDisk:
Runs shows a progress bar for a very short period of time. Goes back to prompt. No messages or errors. Running Get-Virtual disk still shows the VD as degraded.

Problem with Lightroom 5: how to connect the app with my original pictures which are on a external hard disk and, once this resolved, how to create virtual pictures

A friend has installed Lightroom 5 on my MacBook air. he transferred all my picture that were on my IPhone an on Iphoto on Lightroom but without making virtual copies systematically. He put the original (real?) pictures on a external hard disk under Data_photos folder to allow more memory space on my Mac book Air. My problem now that when I connect the external hard disk with my computer the connexion does not happen automatically. it is like if Lightromm does not recognize the path to get connected to the original/real picture and therefore I cannot see pictures with all their potential and I cannot work on these. I am stuck! What should I do to 1) create this link? 2) create then virtual copies in order to be able to work on my computer without been obliged to connect my external hard disk to be able to use the application Lightroom. The friend who helped me disappeared! He is not in Japan and unable to help me.I hope you can help me. I have been looking for support to apple stores, photo shops, computer specialists but I have not found the expert capable to help me. I am leaving in Geneva. And believe that I should have some one with me physically to resolve a problem which I believe is not a serious one if one knows lghtroom an dinformatic basics... thank in advance to come back to me asap !!!!
