How to re-partition?

I am a new to solaris.
I am trying to upgrade Solaris from 2.6 to 8, and there is no enough file system space to upgrade this system.
Please tell me how to re-partition the system and what do I need to pay more attention to during the re-partitioning.
Thank you very much

I appreciate your kind help.
I boot the system by displaying ok prompt and insert the CD, then type boot cdrom to install it.
Could you tell me how to install solaris 8 from scratch?
Thank you so much

How do i partition external hard drive using mac

how do i partition my external hard drive on mac? can i use it as time machine disk as well as external drive?

You can use an external disk for store files and for Time Machine, but you have to create a second volume.
To create volumes on the external disk, use Disk Utility. See > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU3.html I recommend you to put as much space as you can for the Time Machine volume, because backups consume a lot and Time Machine starts deleting backups when the external disk is full

That's not needed, but if you want to do it, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create a new partition.

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?

How do I partition my MacBook Pro so I can keep Snow Leopard and also install Mountain Lion?
I want to install the latest OS, but I already know that I will lose a lot of my software unless I can partition the hard drive and have two "bootable" drives.
How do I retain everything I have, partition the drive, then reloa the software I own according to which OS it will work under?

I do not currently own OS X ML.
I am currently running OS X (10.6.8 Snow Leopard) on my MacBook Pro. It has a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion, but many of my software titles will not operate with ML and I cannot afford to replace some of them (Adobe Creative Suite, for e.g.)
After I back-up my HD and then partition the HD, how do I use the back-up to reinstall what I want to the SL partition, and then place the rest on the ML partition.
I have not done what you want to do, so can only offer some general thoughts in support. Take value from the following where you can. No guarantees.
If it was me, I would use a disk clone utility (e.g. Carbon Copy Cloner) to image the existing Snow Leopard disk to an external drive. Then verify that the external drive would boot and run Snow Leopard normally.
I would then purchase and download the Mountain Lion upgrade installer, but not run it. Use Lion Diskmaker to make a bootable USB stick, and perform a clean install of Mountain Lion, replacing the Snow Leopard on your MBP. This way, you make absolutely certain that no third-party drivers or other SL cruft remains to make Mountain Lion unstable. Update to latest ML point release. Fix permissions. Let TimeMachine make a full backup of your ML installation to a different external drive. Then turn of Time Machine.
In Disk Utility, use the + sign at the bottom of the ML partition to add another GUID, HFS+ Journaled partition for Snow Leopard. Resize to taste. Name it differently from your ML partition. Exhale.
Now ideally, you would like to reverse the external clone and put it back into the new SL partition. Then fix permissions. And demonstrate that you can boot into individually stable OS X installations. This would save you alot of work. Resist copying your home directory into ML just yet.
If you cannot successfully achieve the preceding paragraph, you will be faced with a full SL and application reinstall.
The ~/Library contents for SL and ML are sufficiently different that you do not want to mix them. You may want to salvage Safari bookmarks.plist. And, ML created folders in the home directory may have different permissions or ACL settings than in SL. So, my rule of thumb would be to copy folders that you created in SL, and only the contents of matching named OS created folders such as Music, Pictures, Downloads, etc.
For each operating system, you probably want the Time Machine settings to exclude the opposite OS X partition. If you use the same host name in Sharing prefs, then you will mix SL and ML backups on the same Time Machine back up drive. If you use different host names, they will be distinct folders in the Time Machine backups.backupdb and allow discrete restores per host. You may also want to gag Spotlight from indexing the opposite OS X partition.

How can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

Hello everyone, how can I partition my external hard drive supporting mac OS in one partition and windows OS in another?

OK. Start with:
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two (2). Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Click on the Erase tab in DU's main window. Select one of the two partitions, preferably the first one, change the Format type: to MSDOS then click on the Erase button.

How do I partition my external hard drive without losing data?

How do I partition my external hard drive without losing the data already on it? I've been using it with Time Machine on my old computer, but want to use it as a regular drag-and-drop type back up on my new computer. Is there any way to basically split the hard drive so I can still access the Time Machine backups on my old computer, but also be able to use it with my new mac? Thanks!

If you reformat the drive all data is lost.
The only way to save the data is to copy it somewhere else during the reformat.
Drag & drop will not backup things correctly.
I suggest you set up partition for each Mac and then point Time Machine to each of the partition for each of the Macs.

How to use partition by instead of group by?

Hi,
I am having trouble using partition by clause in following case,
column other_number with null values contains 10 records in 'some_table'
5 records with date 11-01-2009, item_code = 1
5 records with date 10-01-2009, item_code = 2
This query returns all 10 records, (which suppose to return 2)
SELECT count (a.anumber) over (partition by TO_char(a.some_date,'MM'), a.item_code) AS i_count, a.item_code,
TO_char(a.some_date,'MM')
     FROM some_table
     WHERE to_char(a.some_date,'yyyy') = 2009
     AND a.other_number IS NULL
Works fine if I wrote like this,
SELECT count (a.anumber) AS i_count, a.item_code,
TO_char(a.some_date,'MM')
     FROM some_table
     WHERE to_char(a.some_date,'yyyy') = 2009
     AND a.other_number IS NULL
group by TO_char(a.some_date,'MM'), a.item_code
How to use partition by in this case?

Hi,
Almost all of the aggregate functions (the ones you use in a GROUP BY query) have analytic counterparts.
You seem to have already discovered that whatever values are returned by
an aggregate funcition using "GROUP BY x, y, z" can also be found with
an analytic function using "PARTITION BY x, y. z".
Aggregate queries collapse the result set.
The aggregate COUNT function:
SELECT    deptno
,         COUNT (*)   AS cnt
FROM       scott.emp
GROUP BY deptno
;tells how many of the 14 employees are in each of the 3 departments.
So does the analytic COUNT function:
SELECT    deptno
,         COUNT (*) OVER (PARTITION BY deptno)   AS cnt
FROM       scott.emp
;but the first query produces 3 rows of output, the second query produces 14.
You could get 3 rows of output using the analytic function and SELECT DISTINCT , but it's inefficient.
Which should you use? Like so many other things, the answer depends on what data you have, and what results you want from that data.
If you want collapsed results (one row per group), that's a striong indication that you'll want aggregate, not analytic functions.
If you want one row of output for every row in the table, that's a strong indication that you'll want analytic functions.
If you have a particular question, ask it. Post some sample data and the results you want from that data, as Rob said.
There is another important difference between aggreate and analytic functions: analytic functions can easily be restricted to a window , or subset, of the data set. This is something like a WHERE clause, but a WHERE clause applies to the whole query: a wondowing condition applies only to an individual row.
If you need to compute a SUM of rows with an earlier order_date than this row or an average of the last 5 rows, then you proabably want to use analytic function.

How's this partition table for my server?

How's this partition table for my server? Web/DNS/DHCP/Mail Server.
hdd1: ~8gb total
/boot - 100mb
swap - 1gb
/ - rest of drive
hdd2: ~155gb total
/var - whole drive
This is a Compaq ProLiant 5500 server with 10 drives. Will most things be installed inside /var or what?

I would half your swap, reduce /var and put the extra space into /srv

How to merge partitions in Windows Server 2008 quickly and effectively?

How to merge partitions in Windows Server 2008 quickly and effectively?

Hi,
In Windows systems we can only extend a partition to unallocated space behind it - so if we have 2 consistent partitions, we can only delete the second one and extend the first one.
If the 2 partitions are on 2 different disks, you can also create a spanned volume - you will still need to delete the second partition and convert both disks to dynamic disk to create the spanned volume.

How to Use Partitioning in Mappings

Hello All.
Please could you you help me on this one.
I am using OWB9.2, and would like to use partitioning in one of the mappings.
It is a simple mapping which maps from one table into another going through transformations and aggregations on the way
I would like to use the partitioning capabilities of owb so that it uses the partitioned table which is acting as the source.
I have checked all the options in the configuration for the mapping, but which option should I use!
Please Help!
Thanks again.
Kind Regards
Saif

OWB currently supports hash and range partitions. Use hash partitions if you want the database to partition your data automatically (by generating and managing hash keys based on the partition key column you define). Use range partition if you want to control how data is partitioned in the table (partitions will be created that contain a range of values in the partition key column, for example if the partition key is date_created, you can decide that partition 1 contains records where date created is between january 1 and march 31, p2 dates between april 1 and june 30 etc.).
The partition parameters can be found in the configuration pannel of the object - right-click on the object and select configuration. There you will find the partition keys, hash partitions and range partitions entries. Click on the white space to create partitions (this is kind of unintuitive...).
For more details, take a look at the users guide, chapter 5 - Configuring Objects (http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10996_01/05config.htm#1124708).

How to resize partition win2008

how to resize partition win2008?

how to resize partition win2008?
I know it is a little bit late to reply. But, I still want to share my experiences with everyone here.
Actually, I have ever also ahs the same issue and need to resize my C drive partition for installing a large game. But, the resizing process just unexpectedly fails at last in Disk Management. The “extend” function is unable to work.
So, I have no choice but to take chances with some third party partition resizer recommended in many forums such as:
GParted
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
IM-Magic Partition Resizer Free
http://www.resize-c.com/
Active Partition Manager
http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/Active-Partition-Manager.shtml
All of them seem efficient. So, I just have tried them one by one and finally added wanted free space to my C drive successfully with the second free resizer. I even have found a video tutorial that teaches me how to resize my drive with

How can i partition my hard drive with lion on it and install snow leopard from time machine

How do I partition my hard drive which has lion on it and reinstall os6 from my time machine?

You going to need a second harddrive. It is riskie to resize your haddrive with live data on it. You need a backup of the data. That said, you might as well copy your data to the second harddrive. Repartition. Then copy the data back. I bought a 128gig flash drive from walmart for $32.
There were repartition commands introduced in 10.4.6 to repartition the harddrive.
For what it is worth, you can non-destructively partition a harddrive from single user mode in 10.4.6 or greater. Of course, you should have a backup of the harddrive.

How to see partition

Hi all
I created partition to one of my cube for fiscal period, with fiscal varient J4.
How does this partition work? where can I see this actual partition in my cube?

Krishma
As you know the partition will happen at data base level.You could check consistency in RSRV transaction and Number of partitions you can see using table RSDCUBE.
