How to restore a repository from another configuration/env?

Hello,
We've lost our 3.1 VM servers and manager. I've recreated a brand new set of servers and 1 manager and we are now running 3.2.
1- How can I restore the repository (I see the LUNS) to the new server set ? Should I recreate one ? Will it detect it's already containing a repository made of OCFS ?
2- What kind of issue should I expect on the VM side ? Will the repository be named the same internally and my files referenced correctly ? Can I rediscover the disk and change the configuration from the Manager ?
Another way to look at this scenario (even though it has not been the case), is I've switch my repository to a remote site. I have a brand new set of servers/manager. How do I recover my repository without copying GB of VMs?
Thank you for your help. As you can imagine, you will be more than welcome to help in here. Best Regards,
Gregory

Hello,
1) You are absolutely right: I had to rebuild an OVM Manager with the same UUID from the original one. I've got the UUID from .ovsrepos file located in the repository. Other than that impossible to recover it! -Thank you very much for the hint...
2) I've also faced an issue due to the fact the pool UUID is different from the rebuilt one. I had to apply note "Rediscover an Existing Repository in Oracle VM 3.1.1 [ID 1469703.1]" to change the pool ID from the FS and remount the FS
IMPORTANT: Refresh the "Shared Filesystem" in the console AFTER you change the pool ID. If some inconsistent entries get registered in the OVS Repository, you'll get OVMRU_002037E errors. This is very annoying because this is the case even after you've fixed everything on the pool. The error actually comes from the repository check and doesn't seems to be able to recover by itself even if you refresh the Shared Filesystem.
3) To ease and speed up things, I would suggest to backup the manager once re-installed. This should be faster to recover it.
4) For some reasons, I could only recover the disks and not the VMs ! (No big deal since that was my primary concern). VMs appear in the Repository but not in the pool once the repository is published to the pool. The best solution I've found is to delete the VM directories first and recreate the VM manually from the screens once the directory restored.
Thank you again. Best Regards,
Gregory

    How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

    Hi,
    Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
    Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

  • How to refer one view from another view?

    Hi,
    I have 2 views in my Adobe Flash Builder mobile app. I need to refer the first view in my second view.
    How to refer one view from another view? Or how to create a reference to a view wherever needed?

    I don't need any data from my first view. In a certain flow, I need to make my first view to be invisible.
    for eg., My First view is in portrait mode. I change the device to Landscape. In the landscape mode, I want to show a completely different view (second view).
    In this case, what happens is, I see my first view in Landscape mode for a second. Then the second view appears. When I change to Landscape mode, only the second view should be seen. I need to make my first view to be completely invisible in the OnOrientationChanging event of
    StageOrientationEvent
    As stage object and StageOrientationEvent works at application level, I need to know how to refer my first view object in the application level.
    private function onOrientationChanging(soe:StageOrientationEvent):void
          MyFirstView.Visible = False; ====> don't know how to refer MyFirstView here
    Is my question clear now?

  • How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?

    How can i copy songs from another library to my itunes library with homesharing?  I see the other libraries, but cannot drag the songs into my library.  The help window says to use the "show menu" at the bottom, but I don't have that menu with itunes 11.

    You can do this in 2 ways.
    1) You can enable the sidebar and you can drag and drop like you used to be able to.  To turn on Sidebar in iTunes 11, go to View > Show Sidebar
    2) Another way is to connect to your Home Share from the drop-down menu from the left (where it says Music) and select your Home Share.  Once you are connected to your Home Share, select Music and you should see a button that says "All Items" and on the right, you should see the Import button.  To copy, select the songs you want to import and then click on Import.

  • HT4623 how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version....I am loosing 15% battery each hour

    Upgraded my iphone 4 to IOS 6.1 3 days ago, I am loosing 15% battery each hour. Will going back to previous version help, and how can restore my IOS from 6.1 to previous version without loosing contents on my iphone? I have taken all normal precautions such as closing apps, turning off blutooth, manually fetching email, not using browser.....nothing seems to work.

    Those are not running apps.
    This is pulling up the recently used apps bar.  Most, if not all, of those apps are not running at all.  This is just a list of the apps that you have used recently.
    The very few apps that run in the backgound are managed by ios.

  • Connecting a KM repository from another portal to KM via WebDAV - meda data

    Hello there,
    we are evaluating the option of connecting a KM repository from another portal to KM via WebDAV in our Federated Portal Scenario (in fact, we wish to get rid of the the remote roles as soon as possible).
    This can be accomplised as described here [Connecting a KM repository from another portal to KM via WebDAV|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/2783].
    Or for BI as described in Note 969040 - Federated portal network and Information Broadcasting .
    One question : in case meta- data properties are set, where are these stored? In the consumer portal, or in the source system, the producer portal?
    I.e when I set properties on documents of the WebDav repository, and I go to the source system, will the same meta- data properties be set there?
    Many thanks!

    For testing I've integrated the remote KM repository as WebDAV and enabled the properties repository service :
    - custom meta- data defined on the source (producer) KM system is not visible in the consumer portal if no value has been set on the source system :
    Let's say you have a property 'country' on the source system, define a value for it + save, you can view the property in the consumer system.
    - if you define both the same properties in consumer & producser system, you can view the properties in both system, and the value set in either one of the systems is displayed in both of them.
    In short : the custom meta-data properties need to be defined on both systems

  • .How to instantiate the innerclass from another class with coded eg.

    How to instantiate the innerclass from another class(both for static & non static) please give me an eg with coding.

    It's just a preference, but I like writing factory methods:
    public class Outer {
        public class Inner {}
        public static class StaticInner {}
        public Inner innerInstance() {
            return new Inner();
        public static StaticInner staticInnerInstance() {
            return new StaticInner();
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Outer.StaticInner si = Outer.staticInnerInstance();
            Outer outer = new Outer();
            Outer.Inner i = outer.innerInstance();
    }Often, for me, the inner class implements an interface, and the factory method
    lets you hide the implementation class:
    public class Outer {
        private class Inner implements Runnable {
            public void run() {}
        public Runnable runnerInstance() {
            return new Inner();
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            Outer outer = new Outer();
            Runnable r = outer.runnerInstance();
    }
