How to use VM server's disk space to store VM?

Hi!
I've installed Oracle VM Server on my Sun Server. The server has 4 hard drives, which are combined in RAID 10.
The final disk space is approximately 600 gigabytes. This is df command's output:
Filesystem
Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2
50G 1.2G   46G   3% /
tmpfs
666M     0 666M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1
477M   47M 401M 11% /boot
none
666M   40K 666M   1% /var/lib/xenstored
For the needs of the server uses about 50 gigabytes of disk space.
Oracle VM server Installation and Upgrade Guide says:
Partitioning is performed automatically by the installer, and you do not have
the option to define how partitions should be created on the drive during the
installation process. Partitions are created in such a way that only the maximum
amount of disk space required to run Oracle VM Server is attributed to the
partition where it runs. A separate partition is created for any remaining disk
space to be used as a discoverable local disk that can be used to host a
repository or assigned to any virtual machine that runs on the Oracle VM Server.
So where is this separate partition, that I can use to server pool and storage repository in OVMM?
I want to use free disk space to share it using NFS. Later I use these NFS shares to create server pool and storage repository.
Thanks!
Konstantin

Hi Konstantin,
you should not use a OVS to export NFS shares to create a server pool or storage repo on it. Such shares should come from a dedicated NFS server, especially, if you plan on ever configuring a sever pool with multiple OVS. The point it, if you're using an OVS to act also as the NFS server for your server pool and storage repo, you will make it impossible to restart that one OVS, due to tha fact that you'd blow up your OVM cluster.
If you only want to run a single server pool, then nothing prevents you from usind fdisk on the OVS itself and claim the remaining drive space, by making it available as a /dev/sda3
Cheers,
budy

Hi - I'm having the same problem with freeing up space on the HD. If I can't free space if I'm using any part of the clip, how can I split up the clips so that I can discard the part I won't use? This is crazy! I have only 4 GB of free space left!
Also, I've tried to transfer the project file to my external HD but I keep getting an error saying I can't transfer it. I've been told this is because I don't have enough space on the HD for the transfer. I tried a similar transfer with another computer with plenty of HD space but the same error occurred. Is there a way to break up the project file into small pieces for the transfer (I'm thinking the whole movie file is just too big)?
Thanks for any info!

Those things you did on your PC you need not worry about on your Mac. Most is done behind the scenes.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.

Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

How to use "DHCP Server"?

Hi,
I don't know how to use DHCP Server.
#Features > Networking > Network Management > DHCP Server
There seems to be no item to setting a DHCP Server in the Administrative Tools.
Is there function to which installation is necessary to use DHCP Server.
Thanks,

DHCP server role is typically for Windows Server, but you can get some DHCP capability when you enable Internet Connection Sharing -http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-networking/make-windows-7-act-as-a-dhcp-server/8ff345f2-99b5-4670-bb6f-32d7bb63de3c

How to use Vector or other ArrayList etc to store my JTree??

How to use Vector or other ArrayList etc to store my JTree??
Dear friends,
I have following I posted before, but not get satisfactory answer, so I modify and repost again here.
I have following code can add classes and students in the JTree,
in class Computer Science, it has student Bill Brien,
in Math, no,
Then I I add Student Nancy, Laura, Peter into Computer Science Class,
add AAAA, BBB, CCC into Math class,
I create a new class called Chemistry, then I add DDD int Chemistry;
so this JTree is dynamically changed,
[1]. How can I dynamically save my current JTree with all above tree structure and its nodes in a Vector or ArrayList(not sure which one is best)??
see code below:

Good weekends

you can't directly store a tree in a list.Ummm... Just to be contrary... Yes you CAN store a tree in a table.... In fact that's how the windows file system works.
Having said that... you would be well advised to investigate tree data-structures before resorting to flattening a tree into a list.
So... Do you have a specific requirement to produce a List? Your umming-and-erring about Vector vs ArrayList makes it sound like you're still at the stage of choosing a datastructure.

How to limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?

On Yosemite, how do you limit the amount of disk space Time Machine will use?
I'm using a Seagate Goflex Home 2tb drive connected to my router as a Time Machine backup drive. I use this for three things 1)Time Machine 2) an occasional backup of windows document subdirectory 3) backup of music and photos for long term storage. Doing something like re-partioning the drive is not an option. I'll just go buy another drive for time machine's sole use. In addition, using software from Seagate is not an option. I don't want to use their software for different reasons (mainly the GoFlex home is really designed as a "media server" which I don't use. I, of course, use iTunes. ) On the Mac, I'm only using about 250GB total but time machine is rapidly using up space.
Apparently using a terminal command like below, used to work, but no longer works under Yosemite.
For a limit of 100gb the number below would be 100 x 1024
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize 102400
To remove the limit, use the following command:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize
Now, I'm not too familiar with terminal and I'm not about ready to issue a command without knowing exactly what it is going to do.
Is there an easier "switch" someplace or an app that does this?
If I don't limit the size, at some point there will not be any space left for windows backups and additional photo and music files.

Hmm- added "sudo" and there was no error reported:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine MaxSize xxxxxx
I guess we'll see.

How to find out the unused disk space?

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way possible by which I can find out the amount of disk space that is available. I have to write an application that checks for the disk space under Windows and Unix platforms. If anything is possible please let me know as soon as possible.

I know that there is no Java API for it. I tried using the Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c dir") method to find out the available disk space. But it returns the value through the InputStream which would have to be parsed to get the unused disk space value. If there is a way to write a shell script (for Unix / Linux) and a batch file (for Windows), please do let me know of the same. Also please let me know how to execute the script / batch. Awaiting your reply.

HT201364 How do you free up startup disk space on mac book pro 2013 model its not letting me update anything at all

how do you free up disk space on macbook pro 2013 model to upgrade and update software

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Receiving an automatic notification from Windows Server when disk space is low

Hello,<o:p></o:p>
Does Windows Server 2012 R2 have any such functionality built-in to enable monitoring of disk space?
We have an old VB Script file that sends me an email when disk space gets low.
Also, the following post discusses the topic regarding Windows Server 2008:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/c9878861-6ba5-4d3b-b6b0-6e4b33c41853/notification-when-low-disk-space?forum=windowsserver2008r2management
I was wondering if there was any change regarding this in
Windows Server 2012 R2 .
Many thanks.<o:p></o:p>
Keith<o:p></o:p>

Hi,
Windows Server 2012 stays the same on that topic, you still need some kind of monitoring on your disk space.
If you don't have a monitoring solution, like for example SCOM, you can for example with powershell do what you earlier did in VB script. Either you have a scheduled task that runs as often as you'd like, or you can utilize something called WMI eventing
to trigger on an event 'disk low' but thats a bit more complicated.
See below examples on some example scripts that you could use.

Compressor 4 is using all my hard disk space?!

I have a Mac Pro, 3.7 Ghz Quad-Core Intel, 12 GB Memory.
Im trying to compress a video from FCP X (10.1.3), but Compressor (4.1.3) is using all of my hard disk space. The video I am trying to compress has 4 one minute HD interview segments and about 100 different photos. It's a tribute video that combines both forms of media into a presentation. The total time for the video is 11:23.
The project library itself works off an external hard drive that has 1.45 TB available. The only thing that goes locally to my hard disk are the FCP X backup folders.
I received a message saying that I needed more Virtual Memory, but am having a hard time understanding virtual memory and how to free up more of it.
Any advice?

This is the message from my last attempt.

How to use thunderbolt port with disks and DVI-display

Hello,
today I use a 15" MacBookPro and have attached 1TB LaCie with FW800 (for time machine) and DVI-Display using Mini-port.
Need to add more external disk space and look for Lacie 2 TB with thunderbolt connection (for storing mass of pictures in Raid1 version)
Is it possible to connect the new disk, the other disk with an Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter and the DVI-Display to one thunderbolt port?
What are the options I have, to get all three to work at the same time?

No, or at least not without additional hardware. You have too many end-points for one Thunderbolt chain.
You also have the problem that the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter is not yet for sale.
If the new disk you get has two Thunderbolt ports (which not all do), you could daisy-chain the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter behind it, but that adapter has to be at the end of the chain. The Mini-port->DVI adapter likewise needs to be at the end of a chain.
So, you can probably get all three connected at one time by connecting the "1TB LaCie with FW800 (for time machine)" to your FW800 port, while connecting the Thunderbolt->FW800 adapter (when available) to the second port of the new disk. I say "probably" because nobody has the TB-FW adapter yet to try it.
As for doing it on one Thunderbolt port with additional hardware, you might look into third-party docking stations being released in the next few months. The announced prices are in the low-to-middle hundreds. I won't mention brand names, as this is an Apple forum, but they aren't too hard to find by web search.
The highest-priced solution would be the Apple Thunderbolt Display, which gives you a FW800 port for your 1TB drive, a pass-thru Thunderbolt port for your new disk, and of course a 2560x1440 display (plus ethernet and usb2 ports you may not need). It's available now, in the uppermost hundreds. There are some refurbs in the online Apple Store at the moment at 15% off.

How can I recover MacBook Pro disk space

My MacBook Pro is over ten years old... works fine, but I can't access much of the disk space on the original hard drive. I should have 100 Gig of space but only about 5 gigs is available despite the fact that Appications show 13 Gigs used and oly 7 Gigs of folders/files are listed in the info panel. Do I need to erase everything and start over t access the remaiing 70+ gigs on the disk?

Where did my Disk Space go?
Slimming your hard drive
OmniDiskSweeper is a free utility that checks HD space.
FreeSpace cost $1 or is a free utility that checks HD space.
SpaceControl is a free utility that checks HD space.
Rule of thumb: You should never let your hard drive get to where you have only 10-15% of space left.

Does Spotlight use a lot of disk space?

I'm new to Macs — in fact, my first one hasn't arrived yet — and I'm wondering if Spotlight will tie up a lot of disk space? I'm getting a MacBook Pro with a 100GB drive (modest by desktop standards), and I've noticed that Windows search products (e.g., Google Desktop, MSN Desktop) can create 3-5 GB of data after indexing even a modest 30GB hard drive. If Spotlight is going to "waste" gigs of space on my limited laptop drive, I might look into disabling it. Thanks.

Do not worry about it. On my book disk (100Gb with 60Gb occupied) spotlight uses the following space:
