IO Analyzer Hitting Local Disk

Hello -
Our team is trying to use IOAnalyzer, however, it appears all of the I/O is hitting disk1 as opposed to the second disk that we've configured. Our setup is as follows:
1 Master with 8 workers.
Each appliance has disk 1 (sda) configured to reside on local storage of the host.
Each appliance has disk 2 (sdb) configured to reside on an iSCSI LUN.
After running the workload, the write/read requests are hitting the local disk (mpx.*) of the ESXi hosts. The iSCSI LUN (eui.*) show no I/O. Are we configuring the IO analyzers incorrectly? Do disk1 and disk2 need to reside on the same datastore?
Thanks in advance for the help.

We fixed the issue by setting the hostname in the yast2 menu. Run the command:
sudo yast2 network
and edit the network adapter assigned to the VM. Our hostnames matched the VM names. Hope this helps.

Performance question RE: using Lightroom 2 on a local disk to access files on a server

Hello,
I am considering moving to a server-based platform for my digital images. That would allow me to go from linking together 18 external hard drives (500 GB to 1 TB) to accessing a single server to get to all of my information.
I currently have 4 Mac Pro towers with individually licensed copies of LR2. My "Master Catalog" has over 300,000 images in it that I am referencing.
Are there any performance restrictions to accessing, say, 12 terabytes (and growing daily) of images on a server from one catalog? Each of the 4 Mac Pros has a copy of the catalog that is synchronized between them. Right now, in our current setup, we have to swap the external drives between the individual towers in order to have everyone work simultaneously.
Is it possible to have 4 computers with individual catalogs running simultaneously on their local disks access the same server for reading/writing information?
I have heard a rumor that this type of constant read/write on a server is actually bad for it, and can cause corruption, but it seems to me as though this is the exact purpose of a server, so that idea strikes me as odd.
My biggest concern about all of this is that there will be some sort of limitation (performance or otherwise) in LR2 that will keep me from implementing this server-based setup.
Any thoughts?

Yes, it makes it slower. That's what I was saying. I don't find it hard to find things spread across two catalogs instead of one. I'd much rather have two catalogs with 150k each than one with 300,000.
James, have you tried ACDSee Pro? It lists IPTC metadata in the traditional OS "details" mode, which in my experience is much faster, easier to use, and analyze than LR. I love LR, but if I need to get an overview of the metadata in a set of files, ACDSee is much more effective and efficient. If you save to xmp automatically from LR, ADCSee dynamically updates the new XMP acroos its whole catalog. It's allowed me to get a handle on metadata across large sets of files in ways that are not possible with LR.
And personnaly if I had 300K raw files I would not to additional burden them with XMP sidecar files and the constant auto write from LR. To me that would be worse than one large DB file!

Freezes on "Searching for local disks" on boot up

I installed 10.3 on my G4 recently. Everything worked fine for about a week, and then during boot up the progress bar gets about 75% done and gets stuck on "Searching for local disks". It never moves on. I tried going to disk utility, I get to the first page asking which language to use and I hit english. It moves to the next page, to prepare installation, and it just freezes. I can move the cursor, but nothing will happen. I cannot run disk utility or reinstall. It just stalls at this point. Any ideas?!

JRH13:
Try this:
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously later.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command + Option + P + R keys immediately after the startup chime.
• Hold keys down until you hear the startup chime for the third time.
• Release the keys and immediately hold down Shift key to start up in Safe Mode.
• Log in and empty Trash.
• Restart normally and log in.

The best audience for applets is people off the internet. 'People off the internet' might be using a computer that has no (what was it?) 'open.html' in the root of the C: drive. In fact (shock horror) they may not even be running Windows, and would therefore probably have no 'C:' drive at all.
If you do not intend to distribute this to people off the web, an application makes a lot more sense, but even then, you cannot rely on the document being there unless you 'put it there' (during installation, for instance).
As the other poster intimated, applets can load documents off the local disk as long as they are trusted. Here is an example*, but note that it is not so rash as to presume any particular path or file, and instead leaves it to the user to choose the document to display.
* The short code can be seen at SDNShare on the [Defensive Loading of Trusted Applets|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2315] post.
On the other hand, a sandboxed applet can load any document coming from its own server via URL, or get showDocument(URL) to work. In that case, the JRE must recognize that the URL is from its own server, so the best way to form URLs for applet use is via the URL constructor
new URL(getDocumentBase(), "path/to/open.html");That is how I form the URL in this [ sandboxed example of formatting source|http://pscode.org/fmt/sbx.html?url=/jh%2FHelpSetter.java&col=2&fnt=2&tab=2&ln=0]. Of course, in this case the applet loads the document, then parses the text to draw the formatted version, but the point is that an URL produced this way will work with showDocument(URL).
I am pretty sure showDocument() in an applet off the internet will work with an URL pointing to a foreign (not its own) server, but it will not be able to load documents off the end user's local disks.
I suggest a couple of things.
- Try to express this problem in terms of what feature it is that you want to offer the end user. Your question jumps directly to a bad strategy for achieving ..who knows what? An example of a feature is "Shows the applet 'help' files on pressing F1".
- A good way to indicate interest in a solution is to offer [Duke stars|http://wikis.sun.com/display/SunForums/Duke+Stars+Program+Overview] to match that interest.
Edit 1:
..and please figure out how to use the CODE tags.

File DownLoad from R/3 to Local Disk through Web Dynpro

Hi,
I have a zebra print spool, to be saved in the local disk. For this, I have an RFC which will store the document in Portal Server KM folder and will give the file name for web dynpro app. The web dynpro app will search the KM Directory, and will enable the user to save the file on the local disk.
Is it right approach? Is there any other approaches which would be efficient. BTW, I have files from 4k to 12k size. Can I directly attach it to the context variable and store it directly onto the local disk.
I am running Netweaver2004 SP16. I cant use Input stream, does this affect the performance?.
Thanks, I appreciate your time.

Hi Raj,
you have the name and the full path of the file you can access the file through FILE IO as the file is on portal server only and then you can use the File Download UI in web dynpro to download the file

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.

Network user access to local disk to solve I/O throughput issue?

Not sure if this is the best forum for this, but...
THE ISSUE:
I work at a small university and am responsible for the Mac network and video dept (only 1 xserve and about 20-odd clients). Anyway, everyone uses network accounts. I have 3 iMacs for Final Cut and so far everyone just captures to the server over gigabit ethernet. We're only using DV25 (~4MB/sec transfer) and it hasn't been an issue until this week. Now as people begin to stress more about final projects, however, and are spending more time, the suites are being used more during the same times. Even though the throughput is usually less than 10MB/sec, which (I think?) is well under what gigabit ethernet supports, we're consistently getting stalled video and dropped frames. We've often had multiple people working on projects (playback) simultaneously in the past, but never capturing simultaneously before. Also, another factor that may come into play, is my 3TB RAID 5 that they're using has become rather full at this point (down to 200MB) so perhaps read/write times are being affected?
Now, we're looking at adding 6 more Final Cut suites, which will potentially increase my throughput load by 200%, so I really need to find a solid solution (and fibre cards are not an option since they're iMacs--and we don't have that budget anyway).
THE QUESTION:
Since the issue seems to only occur while capturing and not during playback, it seems the easiest solution would be to give the editor group access to the local hard drive (and then copy from there to their network storage so they can work on any given station later) which I'm not sure how the best way to do this would be. OR, should gigabit ethernet be capable of sustaining the throughput I need and there's some other problem I should be looking at to fix that?
Related, if they do capture to the local disk (or even an external hard drive, which we may end up going to), is there some script or something that can be run every night to automatically copy files from X location on a local drive to Y location (say, a common media storage location) on the server RAID?

Hi
+". . . my 3TB RAID 5 that they're using has become rather full at this point (down to 200MB). . ."+
I think the problem you're currently seeing starts (and probably ends) here. Regardless of what your data comprises of the general rule of thumb is to make sure you keep at least 10% of free disk space for any hard drive let alone a RAID. Most people would generally recommend 15% for a RAID 5. A rough calculation based on your 3TB RAID would mean you should keep at least 300GB free. You're well below that unless 200MB is a typo? I'm surprised the whole thing has not ground to a halt?
Video Capture, Editing and Playback in a network home environment is always going to place a considerable strain on any network unless you've prepared the ground first. For example 60 seconds of RAW Video is roughly 200MB in size. Multiply this for a classroom of 16 and that's a lot of data. Even if you're not using hi-def you're still talking a lot of data.
There are better ways of doing this.
HTH?

Windows 8.1 : Windows explorer show DVD drive as local disk

I have windows 8.1. On windows explorer , the DVD-ROM Drive icon is displayed as a Local disk. When I double click on that icon I get a strange error message :
An error occurred while ejecting "*,"
On Device manager , on disk management , everything is ok and the drive has the correct type : DVD-ROM Drive".
What should I do ?

1. Ensure the drives are properly recognized on the BIOS.
2.
Proceed to back your information and do a clean installation of the Operating System using the latest drivers from our website since this seems to be an Operating System instead of a hardware failure.
3. Test with a different DVD driver to narrow the issue properly.
4. Remove the RTC (Real Time Clock) battery and leave it out for 30 minutes. After this
period of time, insert the battery back in and turn the system back on; if it displays POST messages, go into BIOS Setup Utility by pressing <F2> during the boot process. Once in the BIOS setup utility, press <F9> to restore BIOS default
settings. Reset any customized BIOS settings. Clear all DMI event logs, which are located in the Advanced/Event Log Configuration section of the BIOS Setup utility. Press <F10> to save the new settings and reboot the system.

Is it possible to install and use Firefox in a local disk drive D: ?

A desktop computer with Windows XP, Professional Version and Service Pack 3. The browser is Explorer 8 and the search engine is Google. There is very little free space left in local disk drive C: and the browser Google combination is painfully slow.
The computer also has a local disk drive D: which has only recently been formatted as NTFS with about 18 GB of free memory.
Can I use this drive D: to install and operate Firefox ? Drive C: is probably the default drive in the installation process and the question is can it be altered to drive D:, if so how is it done. How much memory does Firefox use after it is installed.
Any direction and advice would be appreciated to use as much of drive D: as possible with a Firefox Google combination.
Thank you for considering this post.

If you would install Firefox on the D:/ drive the vast majority of its files would end up in /Documents and Settings/ on the C:/ drive where the operating system resides.
Firefox Portable will keep all its files together, where you install it.

UCSM 2.1 Local disk configuration policy and raid volumes

Hi!
If i use Any configuration as local disk configuration policy and do the raid settings directly to the RAID-cards, am i able to have two raid volumes on C-series under UCSM management?
What i would like to do with C240M3 with 6 local disks: 2 disk raid1 and 4 disk raid0
So i would use:
"Any Configuration—For a server configuration that carries forward the local disk configuration without any changes."
As UCS servers Raid guide indicates:
"Maximum of One RAID Volume and One RAID Controller in Integrated Rack-Mount Servers
A rack-mount server that has been integrated with Cisco UCS Manager can have a maximum of one RAID volume irrespective of how many hard drives are present on the server. "
Is this paragraph limitation of GUI not able to set several volumes or hard fact without "Any configuration" workaround?

I did some testing about this issue:
Changed Local Disk Configuration to "Any Configuration"
Two virtual disks can be created from Raid card's WebBIOS
These disks are visible to RedHat Installation.
UCSM shows Any configuration for the Storage Local Disk policy
Actual Disk Configuration has faulty information - WebBios is the only place to check the RAID status?
Next step: I'll do the same for the production

How to download and upload SPRO configuration to and from local disk?

Hello,
I'm very new to SAP. Recently we had a problem while refreshing our QNA system from PRD. I knew there are some configurations, which do not have a transport and thus configured directly in QNA. These changes were not noted by mistake and after the refresh from PRD, we have lost these configurations.
Is there any way we can save the SPRO configurations to local disk and upload them again? Are there any custom programs available? Please advice?
Regards,
Nathani

The trouble with these kind of situations is that an applet runs on the client. If you want an applet to connect to a specific server (which means the client makes a connection to that server), you basically have to give the entire world access rights to that server. I don't think your friendly local administrator will be too happy with such a prospect.
What you could do is put a man in the middle. Don't upload to the file server directly, but to for example the web server where the applet was downloaded from, for example by making a servlet available that takes a HTTP file upload. When that upload is complete, send the file from your man in the middle server to the file server using whatever method you like/have available/know how to code. In this situation only your web server needs access to the file server, which is far easier to secure.
