Installing cluster in solaris 10 virtual machine

I want to configure two node cluster in solaris 10.
I created a partion 0f 2 GB but forgot to name it as /globaldevices while installing.
Now, I am unable to modify my partition table as the error is " can't modify while it has mounted partitions ".
Kindly tell me how to have a /globaldevices partition without reinstalling solaris 10 virtual machine.
Also I want to free the 2 GB space and I want to give it to root.
Please help

Moderator Action:
Moved from the General Solaris 10 forum
to the Clustering forum, hopefully to more on-topic.
@O.P.
Please try to pay attention to where you actually place your posts.
If you pick an appropriate forum, you'll get better responses.
These are technical forums, not a bunch of chat rooms.
For example, there are forum members that ONLY post to the clustering forum and those same people NEVER contribute to the Solaris 10 forum.

Do you have also to install antivirus seperately on virtual machine or one antivirus wil be enough for both OS?

hi,
if I install virtualbox then install windows 7 do I have lso install anti virus software in this virtual machine or the antivirus software of the normal OS wil be OK for both OS!
thanks

Assuming the virtual machine will be connected to the Internet I can only advise you to install antivirus in the virtual machine as well.

Install R12 on a Virtual Machine hosted on Windows Vista

I wanted to install Oracle EBS R12.1.1 on Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit but used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error. Hussein Sawwan
helped and said that this is not certified. He adviced me to create a VMWare Server. Following is my experience. I hope it is helpful. Any
suggestions, additions are more than welcome. Thanks to all who helpmed me especially Hussein Sawwan, Helios, Gareth Roberts.
I used to get .\jre\nt\1.6.0\bin\java error after the installation would zoom through 33%. That was because my staging area was not correct. The staging area should be just next to c:\ or whatever be the root directory (or drive). No space or special characters in folder name. My current structure is as follows:
c:\r12stage. Under r12stage I have following folders and subfolders
oraAppDB -- 49 Disks
oraApps -- 11 Disks
oraAS -- 3 Disks (This comes from the Rapid Install Tools)
oraDB -- 5 Disks
startCD -- 1 Disk plus other folders. Just copy startcd from the unzipped download and paste to r12stage area.
I then created a virtual machine using VMWare Server (free download but need to register to get the serial number). Because I installed
vmware server on Vista Home Premium 64 bit Host OS, I have to boot my machine by pressing F8 and then select Disable Digital Signature
Enformcement. Thanks to Gareth Roberts for this tip. Create a vm and install Windows 2003 by selecting the .img file (first cd) by selecting Use ISO image and then path of the windows 2003 cd 1 (zipped file). start the virtual machine, that will install windows 2003 and then ask for location of 2nd cd. On the host machine, where the second win 2003 zip file resides, unzip the second zip file and name the folder as cd2. share this folder to the __vmware_user__ and from the virtual machine, map network drive to \\hostmachinename\cd2. Select this as the location of cd2 and complete the installation. Install MKS Toolkit from http://cygwin.com/ and visual c++ from Microsoft website. for information on this please refer to the following URL. Thanks to Muhammad Habib
http://mhabib.wordpress.com/2007/03/14/installing-oracle-applications-e-bussiness-11i-on-windows-xp/
After installation is done and Windows Update is run, share the r12stage directory on the host machine to the vmuser and launch rapidwiz.cmd from the command prompt and follow the instruction. For internet connection from the VM use Ethernet as NAT.
If the installation errors halfway through, clean up your VM by following instructions in document id 292424.1 in MetaLink. If you dont have access to Metalink then I summarize the steps briefly over here.
Launch the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software key.
Select the Apache Group subkey and delete it.
Select the Oracle subkey and delete it.
Navigate to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Current Control Set\Services.
Carefully select and delete each service beginning with Oracle. For example, delete "Oracle Apache Server PROD_<nodename>".
When you are finished, exit the Registry Editor.
Navigate to the Environment Variables editing screen according to your system setup. For example, right-click My Computer and select
Properties. From the Advanced tab, click the Environment Variables button.
Select the following system variables if created during the failed installation, and delete them: DISCO_JRE, DISCO_VBROKER, JSERV,
VBROKER_JAVAVM, VBROKER_TAG, WV_GATEWAY.
Select the Path variable, but do not delete it. Carefully edit it and remove any component with "Oracle" in the name, or that otherwise
references the failed install. For example, delete "E:\11.5.10\test\visora\8.0.6\bin;".
Save and exit System Properties.
Open a command window and navigate to the C:\Program Files\ directory. Delete the Oracle subdirectory.
If your Oracle Inventory directory was not C:\Program Files\Oracle\Inventory and was therefore not deleted in the previous step, locate it
and delete it.
Restart your machine
It is now safe to remove the Oracle filesystem that was partially installed during the failed installation. Go to the base install directory,
or top-level directory under which you installed either the Database Server (DATA, DB) or the Applications Tier Server (APPL, ORA, COMN)
directories, or both. Note that you may choose to rename a directory before you delete it. This allows you to use the same directory name and start a new installation even before you finish the delete filesystem operation. For example, if you placed your filesystem in a "test" directory under
"E:\11.5.10":
C:\> E:
E:\> cd 11.5.10
E:\> rename test oldtest
E:\> del /s /q oldtest
In another window:
C:\> cd <stage install directory>
Q:\> rapidwiz.cmd
After cleaning up if you still get error like RW-50004: Error Code received when running external process. Check log file for
details. Running database Install driver for VIS instance, after 13% complte step 1 of 5 then I suggest that you re-create the machine and follow the above steps again. Including installing win 2003, mks tool kit , vc++, etc. It will be a success.
Starting concurrent manager takes up enormous memory and slows down everything, so if you dont need it then dont ever start it. APPS password is apps and sysadmin user is sysadmin.
Good luck.

I had Vista 64-bit machine, installed Ubuntu in VMWare. Installed Oracle apps on 32-bit Ubuntu under VMware and was able to access Oracle apps. But, it is very very slow. It hangs sometimes and takes 15-20mins to display Ubuntu screens. Am I missing something here. I have a 4GB RAM and VMWare can not use all the 4GB. It may be using 2GB of 4GB. Am I missing something?

How do i install reader in a Virtual Machine

I am a developer and need to install reader in an XP virtual machine running upon my Windows 7 desktop
I need to test out acrobat and IE 8
It gets to 34% downloaded and then fails.
In the xp machine i have turned off the firewall and removed the anti virus software
In the windows 7 machine i have turned off the firewall and turned off the anti virus software
Any other suggestions?

Download it on the host machine from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/, then copy it into VM. Or run it in VM directly from the host folder.

Enabling Virtualization Technology to Install Windows 8 on Virtual Machine?

Hello…I have an HP HPE-310t Desktop computer that is currently running the 32-bit version of Windows 7.
I'm interested in installing the Windows 8 Customer Preview on a virtual machine such as Virtual Box. I've done a little bit of research on how to do this, but there is one thing I am unclear about, and so I'm requesting assistance here.
The documentation I've read states my processor must support Virtualization Technology. The processor is a quad-core, so I'm assuming it does. However, the documentation also says Virtualization Technology is often disabled by default, and may need to be enabled to use it.
I'm not sure how to do this. I'm assuming it has to be done in BIOS. Can anyone please tell me where to find the option to enable Virtualization Technology, or check to see if is already enabled?
Thank you for your assistance. J. Danniel

Hello, and thank you for replying.
I actually found the Virtualization Technology option in BIOS and enabled it. I had no trouble installing Windows 8 on Virtual Box.
However, while I'm sitting here typing this, I should say something: I did install Windows 8 Customer Preview on my computer when it first came out. (I did a full system backup with Acronis True Image prior to the installation.)
Anyway, the installation went smoothly, and I installed a dozen or so programs on it with no problems. When I installed a Thunderbird E-Mail backup program, I rebooted, and my computer froze at the HP Welcome/BIOS sign-on screen.
It just stayed there. I shut the computer off for a minute or two, restarted it, and it froze again. I began to feel a touch of panic. I shut the computer off yet again, waited 15 minutes, and restarted it using the Acronis True Image boot CD. Fortunately, it booted up, so I restored my backup.
For the brief period of time I used Windows 8 on my actual system and not in Virtual Box, my reaction was highly negative. I was VERY impressed with the revised Explorer--they finally got that right. I actually LIKE the ribbon in it!
But Metro? The elimination of a Start button? It's hell on earth to use a keyboard and mouse to get to a Shut Down, Log Off, or Restart option.
I can't envision a scenario where I would upgrade my computer to Windows 8. Messing with it once in a while in Virtual Box...yeah, I'll do that. I can nuke the whole thing without much chaos.
Thanks again! Jd

Installing a Printer in Virtual Machine of a Core 2 Duo

Hello everyone:
I have already install the Parallels software and the Windows Xp in my IMac. I works fine so far, but I have a problem.
When I try to use the printer, Windows doesn't recognice it, and when I try to install it, iMac OS tell me that there is another aplication is using the USB hardware I'm trying to use, that I have to wait 5 to 10 seconds... and so on.
What can I do to install my printer in the Virtual Machine, working winth Windows XP
My printer is a HP Photosmart 4100.
Thanks for your help.

FYI, this is the discussion area for the much older iMac G4s.
Since you have an Intel-based iMac you should post in the Intel-based iMac discussion area.

Can the boot camp partition be resized once windows is installed and running as virtual machine using vm fusion ware?

I have macbook air partitioned 505/50 and running OSX and win 7 side by side as virtual machines using vm fusion. Can the partition size be changed without starting over?

Very helpful. I started with vm ware to create a pseudo drive but could not import win 7 over home network. mac has no immediate way to connect to network without adapter, and has no cdrom. So i used boot camp to create partition, then made a bootable win7 iso file on a memory stick using win 7 usb/cdrom download tool from microsoft, and rEFIT to get mac to boot from the mem stick into the dos partition. Then i ran vm fusion to import the win 7 partition as a virtual machine. OSx and win 7 run side by side.
Seems from what you say that sizing cannot be accomplished without deleting partition and starting over. If I start over and just run vm fusion to create he win7 virtual machine, not sure how I would bet the minimum win 7 os into the ac. Perhaps vm will boot from the mem stick using refit. Do you know?

Hyper-V cluster Backup causes virtual machine reboots for common Cluster Shared Volumes members.

I am having a problem where my VMs are rebooting while other VMs that share the same CSV are being backed up. I have provided all the information that I have gather to this point below. If I have missed anything, please let me know.
My HyperV Cluster configuration:
5 Node Cluster running 2008R2 Core DataCenter w/SP1. All updates as released by WSUS that will install on a Core installation
Each Node has 8 NICs configured as follows:
NIC1 - Management/Campus access (26.x VLAN)
NIC2 - iSCSI dedicated (22.x VLAN)
NIC3 - Live Migration (28.x VLAN)
NIC4 - Heartbeat (20.x VLAN)
NIC5 - VSwitch (26.x VLAN)
NIC6 - VSwitch (18.x VLAN)
NIC7 - VSwitch (27.x VLAN)
NIC8 - VSwitch (22.x VLAN)
Following hotfixes additional installed by MS guidance (either while build or when troubleshooting stability issue in Jan 2013)
KB2531907 - Was installed during original building of cluster
KB2705759 - Installed during troubleshooting in early Jan2013
KB2684681 - Installed during troubleshooting in early Jan2013
KB2685891 - Installed during troubleshooting in early Jan2013
KB2639032 - Installed during troubleshooting in early Jan2013
Original cluster build was two hosts with quorum drive. Initial two hosts were HST1 and HST5
Next host added was HST3, then HST6 and finally HST2.
NOTE: HST4 hardware was used in different project and HST6 will eventually become HST4
Validation of cluster comes with warning for following things:
Updates inconsistent across hosts
  I have tried to manually install "missing" updates and they were not applicable
  Most likely cause is different build times for each machine in cluster
   HST1 and HST5 are both the same level because they were built at same time
   HST3 was not rebuilt from scratch due to time constraints and it actually goes back to Pre-SP1 and has a larger list of updates that others are lacking and hence the inconsistency
   HST6 was built from scratch but has more updates missing than 1 or 5 (10 missing instead of 7)
   HST2 was most recently built and it has the most missing updates (15)
Storage - List Potential Cluster Disks
  It says there are Persistent Reservations on all 14 of my CSV volumes and thinks they are from another cluster.
  They are removed from the validation set for this reason. These iSCSI volumes/disks were all created new for
  this cluster and have never been a part of any other cluster.
When I run the Cluster Validation wizard, I get a slew of Event ID 5120 from FailoverClustering. Wording of error:
  Cluster Shared Volume 'Volume12' ('Cluster Disk 13') is no longer available on this node because of
  'STATUS_MEDIA_WRITE_PROTECTED(c00000a2)'. All I/O will temporarily be queued until a path to the
  volume is reestablished.
Under Storage and Cluster Shared VOlumes in Failover Cluster Manager, all disks show online and there is no negative effect of the errors.
Cluster Shared Volumes
We have 14 CSVs that are all iSCSI attached to all 5 hosts. They are housed on an HP P4500G2 (LeftHand) SAN.
I have limited the number of VMs to no more than 7 per CSV as per best practices documentation from HP/Lefthand
VMs in each CSV are spread out amonst all 5 hosts (as you would expect)
Backup software we use is BackupChain from BackupChain.com.
Problem we are having:
When backup kicks off for a VM, all VMs on same CSV reboot without warning. This normally happens within seconds of the backup starting
What have to done to troubleshoot this:
We have tried rebalancing our backups
  Originally, I had backup jobs scheduled to kick off on Friday or Saturday evening after 9pm
  2 or 3 hosts would be backing up VMs (Serially; one VM per host at a time) each night.
  I changed my backup scheduled so that of my 90 VMs, only one per CSV is backing up at the same time
   I mapped out my Hosts and CSVs and scheduled my backups to run on week nights where each night, there
   is only one VM backed up per CSV. All VMs can be backed up over 5 nights (there are some VMs that don't
   get backed up). I also staggered the start times for each Host so that only one Host would be starting
   in the same timeframe. There was some overlap for Hosts that had backups that ran longer than 1 hour.
  Testing this new schedule did not fix my problem. It only made it more clear. As each backup timeframe
  started, whichever CSV the first VM to start was on would have all of their VMs reboot and come back up.
I then thought maybe I was overloading the network still so I decided to disable all of the scheduled backup
and run it manually. Kicking off a backup on a single VM, in most cases, will cause the reboot of common
CSV members.
Ok, maybe there is something wrong with my backup software.
  Downloaded a Demo of Veeam and installed it onto my cluster.
  Did a test backup of one VM and I had not problems.
  Did a test backup of a second VM and I had the same problem. All VMs on same CSV rebooted
Ok, it is not my backup software. Apparently it is VSS. I have looked through various websites. The best troubleshooting
site I have found for VSS in one place it on BackupChain.com (http://backupchain.com/hyper-v-backup/Troubleshooting.html)
I have tested almost every process on there list and I will lay out results below:
  1. I have rebooted HST6 and problems still persist
  2. When I run VSSADMIN delete shadows /all, I have no shadows to delete on any of my 5 nodes
   When I run VSSADMIN list writers, I have no error messages on any writers on any node...
  3. When I check the listed registry key, I only have the build in MS VSS writer listed (I am using software VSS)
  4. When I run VSSADMIN Resize ShadowStorge command, there is no shadow storage on any node
  5. I have completed the registration and service cycling on HST6 as laid out here and most of the stuff "errors"
   Only a few of the DLL's actually register.
  6. HyperV Integration Services were reconciled when I worked with MS in early January and I have no indication of
   further issue here.
  7. I did not complete the step to delete the Subscriptions because, again, I have no error messages when I list writers
  8. I removed the Veeam software that I had installed to test (it hadn't added any VSS Writer anyway though)
  9. I can't realistically uninstall my HyperV and test VSS
  10. Already have latest SPs and Updates
  11. This is part of step 5 so I already did this. This seems to be a rehash of various other stratgies
I have used the VSS Troubleshooter that is part of BackupChain (Ctrl-T) and I get the following error:
  ERROR: Selected writer 'Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer' is in failed state!
  - Status: 8 (VSS_WS_FAILED_AT_PREPARE_SNAPSHOT)
  - Writer Failure code: 0x800423f0 (<Unknown error code>)

  - Instance ID: {d55b6934-1c8d-46ab-a43f-4f997f18dc71}
  VSS snapshot creation failed with result: 8000FFFF
VSS errors in event viewer. Below are representative errors I have received from various Nodes of my cluster:
I have various of the below spread out over all hosts except for HST6
Source: VolSnap, Event ID 10, The shadow copy of volume took too long to install
Source: VolSnap, Event ID 16, The shadow copies of volume x were aborted because volume y, which contains shadow copy storage for this shadow copy, wa force dismounted.
Source: VolSnap, Event ID 27, The shadow copies of volume x were aborted during detection because a critical control file could not be opened.
I only have one instance of each of these and both of the below are from HST3
Source: VSS, Event ID 12293, Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Error calling a routine on a Shadow Copy Provider {b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}. Routine details RevertToSnashot [hr = 0x80042302, A Volume Shadow Copy Service component encountered an

Source: VSS, Event ID 8193, Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine GetOverlappedResult. hr = 0x80070057, The parameter is incorrect.
So, basically, everything I have tried has resulted in no success towards solving this problem.
I would appreciate anything assistance that can be provided.
Thanks,

Tim,
Thanks for the reply. I ran the first two commands and got this:
Name
Role Metric
Cluster Network 1
3  10000
Cluster Network 2 - HeartBeat                              1   1300
Cluster Network 3 - iSCSI                                    0  10100
Cluster Network 4 - LiveMigration                         1   1200
When you look at the properties of each network, this is how I have it configured:
Cluster Network 1 - Allow cluster network communications on this network and Allow clients to connect through this network (26.x subnet)
Cluster Network 2 - Allow cluster network communications on this network. New network added while working with Microsoft support last month. (28.x subnet)
Cluster Network 3 - Do not allow cluster network communications on this network. (22.x subnet)
Cluster Network 4 - Allow cluster network communications on this network. Existing but not configured to be used by VMs for Live Migration until MS corrected. (20.x subnet)
Should I modify my metrics further or are the current values sufficient.
I worked with an MS support rep because my cluster (once I added the 5th host) stopped being able to live migrate VMs and I had VMs host jumping on startup. It was a mess for a couple of days. They had me add the Heartbeat network as part of the solution
to my problem. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to configure a network specifically for CSV so I would assume it would use (based on my metrics above) Cluster Network 4 and then Cluster Network 2 for CSV communications and would fail back to the Cluster Network
1 if both 2 and 4 were down/inaccessible.
As to the iSCSI getting a second NIC, I would love to but management wants separation of our VMs by subnet and role and hence why I need the 4 VSwitch NICs. I would have to look at adding an additional quad port NIC to my servers and I would be having to
use half height cards for 2 of my 5 servers for that to work.
But, on that note, it doesn't appear to actually be a bandwidth issue. I can run a backup for a single VM and get nothing on the network card (It caused the reboots before any real data has even started to pass apparently) and still the problem occurs.
As to Backup Chain, I have been working with the vendor and they are telling my the issue is with VSS. They also say they support CSV as well. If you go to this page (http://backupchain.com/Hyper-V-Backup-Software.html)
they say they support CSVs. Their tech support has been very helpful but unfortunately, nothing has fixed the problem.
What is annoying is that every backup doesn't cause a problem. I have a daily backup of one of our machines that runs fine without initiating any additional reboots. But most every other backup job will trigger the VMs on the common CSV to reboot.
I understood about the updates but I had to "prove" it to the MS tech I was on the phone with and hence I brought it up. I understand on the storage as well. Why give a warning for something that is working though... I think that is just a poor indicator
that it doesn't explain that in the report.
At a loss for what else I can do,
Charles J. Palmer

Install arch on a virtual machine

I am following a tutorial to install arch linux on my virtual box, oracle.
when it comes to the command mkinitcpio, it gives me an error, command not found.
#arch-chroot /mnt
#mkinitcpio -p linux
sh: mkinitcpio: command not found
I added /sbin to my path, but that had no effect.
could anyone guide me please.

saman_artorious wrote:Yes, it is the UUID, but I don't know how to check it.
I think this is the way to do that-
To list basic information about the partitions, run:
$ lsblk -f
or, if you like a gui, I'm partial to "gparted" where you right click on a partition and then click 'information'
Somewhat off topic, but are there preconfigured appliances for download that are recommended? It would be nice to not have to go through the whole instillation routine.
I found this one, and it seems to be one of the few out there from the systemd era:
Archlinux-2013.08.01.ova.torrent
For the OP, you may consider working backwords. Load up a preinstalled appliance, and remove packages you don't want.
Just thinking out loud.

Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks. The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed. I wish
to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8. Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation?
If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

Technically, no. The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system. It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM. A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.
Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version
as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
