Is MSSQL Cluster supported running on SOFS?

Hi
We plan to setup a SOFS (JBOD with FileCluster) + Hyper-V Cluster (With VMM). We then plan to create 2 x VM´s running MSSQL in MSSQL Cluster. My question is: Is it supported to place the "data/cluster disk", containing the database data-files,
on the SOFS?
Does anyone have an reference to best practice? Any blog/documentation around how to do this?

Detected another cluster senior running on an incompatible protocol at null

Recently saw this confusing error. I'm not sure what "null" should have been but I think the error is erroneous also since everything I have is running 3.7.1.1.

If none of the troubleshooting for the display adaptor (graphics card driver update, BadDrivres.txt etc.) do not work, we have to understand that the display could actually not be supported. By display, I mean the card-driver-driver version combination. So,
1. It could be a bad card - None of the available drivers work for the application. Here, ditch the card and get a newer one that works.
2. It could be a bad driver - For e.g. Only DirectX drivers work, OpenGL ones could be pathetic (Many games detect this and if this is bad, I have seen Photoshop struggle with this). Or some display configurations would be badly supported (multiple monitors, some funny resolutions, some of the ports, crossfire etc.). Older drivers/cards/some OEM drivers etc. have these issues in my experience.
3. It could be a bad driver version - Here upgrade or a downgrade works.
Because of a Video editor, the (lack of) capabilities of the card is highlighted. Video Playback alone doesn't nearly exercise the capabilities the cards usually have to offer. Editing really does. That is why it matters if the Video Editor actually says that it supports Graphics acceleration (Or GPU acceleration) for any of the workflows.
What I am saying here is that when we blame the application for any of the issues, we have to be certain that the issues are NOT due to one of the mentioned three causes. I have seen this all too often in the gaming forums, Nero forums (some years back), in PPro forum, and here. If the application menufacturer is really to blame, the mistake would be all too obvious and too many of us would have complained about it. I do not think this is the case with Premiere Elements 10.
Introspection works.

Hi Jacques,
The Express Edition is not listed in the "Supported platforms" list:

If I remember correctly Microsoft does not want the Express Edition to be used for productive systems...
...or at least the agreement regarding B1 is of such kind.

Does Oracle Support Running Oracle 10 Database on VMware ?

hi experts,
I have 10g Enterprise on a Windows 64-bit Enterprise platform.
I know this is a recurring question - whether or not Oracle really supports customers that run Oracle databases in a VMWare environment.
I found a document on My Oracle Support/metalink that is dated 2007. It says VMWare is not supported.
But I think the situation may have changed since 2007.
So can anyone point me to a document that shows whether Oracle does/does not support running Oracle databases on VMware - not Oracle's VMware product but VMWare, inc. ?
Thanks for any current information. John

1) Oracle has their own virtualization solution;
2) VMWare is a brand, not a product. Your question is best asked in context of a product;
3) Oracle will provide you with support as long as you can reproduce the problem in a non-VM environment.
That last means - it is up to you to prove that the problem is not related to VMWare environment.I have never seen any scenario where Oracle demands you to prove that the problem is not related to VMware.
If its their suggested solution does not work, and they think i should, they want you to migrate it to a physical machine and test there, however this has never happend, at least not for us. We have around 100 databases in VMware, and the common talk (even from Oracle people that visits us) is that the document is only there IF THERE BY SOME CHANCE IN THE WORLD WOULD COME TO A PROBLEM FOR A COMPANY, WHERE VMWARE IS THE PROBLEM, AND ORACLE CANT HELP, they have to have a get-out clause in terms of support against VMware.

Does mac os x 10.7.5 support running x code?

does mac os x 10.7.5 support running x code?

Yes. 4.6.3 is the latest version that'll run on Lion. That said, AFAICT, you can only get Xcode 5, via the MAS, which requires at least 10.8.4. Get Xcode says you can get earlier versions from the development center, but that requires registering for a free account: register as a developer at Apple Developer.

Does Adobe officially support running Photoshop on VMware?

I need to convert from discrete servers running Photoshop for an image resizing function to a VMware/blade server environment.
Does Adobe officially support running Photoshop on VMware?
Also, what versions of ESX are currently tested and supported?
I understand there may be some special configs needed to get the licenses to work....what are they?
Also, if certain versions of Photoshop are supported and others are not supported under VMware, I need to know that as well.
How do you get to a product manager at Adobe?....For Gods sake, they have a customer service blockade to get to a person who knows this stuff.
Thanks,

Is Weblogic Cluster supports Application scope Objects?

          Our Application is mainly depends on Application scope objects. On one m/c, it
          is perfect.
          Now, we want to support the failover , load balancing ... (High Availability).
          I know, weblogic cluster supports HttpSessions, EjbObjects ... etc. What about
          Application scope objects.
          we are planning for weblogic server which supports the our requirements.
          If not, what is the solution to make it work by using Weblogic server.
          for eg: I can give what type of application we are developing --- similar to
          textchat.
          our application is real time application.


Even a singleton is not good enough as singletons are good only in the VM they were
          created it. One way is to have a distributed object such as a stateful session bean of
          which only one instance exists. U can create it at startup and store its handle in
          some persistent storage as well as a singleton. This ensures that even if the
          singleton doesnt contain it the refgerence to it can be obtained.
          There will be some problems with this setup as people should not allow it to create
          instances of it . Any such endeavor will lead to a CacheFullException.
          But essentially that seems possible.
          Even the 2.3 Servlet specification mandates that ServletContext and Application level
          object is only valid inside the JVM which created it. HttpSessions are replicated
          SessionContexts are not and are not likely to be in any J2EE application server

When is crystal reports 11 R2a support run out

Quick note: I know this is probably the wrong fourm but I have no idea where it is meant to go. So moderators can you put this in the right place.
Hi,
Just a quick question when does the crystal reports 11 R2a support run out? I know the R2 ran out june last year but I can't find when the R2a runs out.
Any help would be awesome as I emailed crystal sap and got no reply (very weird).
Thanks

The coherence cluster supports created how much cache?

Hi,
I have runing Oracle Coherence GE 3.6.1 in cluster.
The coherence cluster supports created how much cache? cache type is Distributed Cache.
Cache over-population will affect the performance of the cluster?
Thank you!

Do a test, the code is as follows：
cache code
     public final long removeLike(String regex) {
          long l1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
long result = 0;
Set<String> setKeys = nc.keySet(new LikeFilter(new KeyExtractor(), regex + "%", (char)0, false));
long l2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("removeLike , execute time :" + (l2 - l1));
return result;
public final boolean removeStartWith(String prefix) {
long l1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
int i = 0;
try {
Set<String> keys = nc.keySet();
Iterator<String> iter = keys.iterator();
String v = "";
while (iter.hasNext()) {
v = iter.next();
if (v.startsWith(prefix)) {
++i;
long l2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
System.out.println("removeStartWith , execute time :" + (l2 - l1));
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.error(e.getMessage(), e);
return false;
The above 2 methods are computational search KEY time, not to delete operation
test code
     @BeforeClass
public static void init() {
try {
cache = CacheFactory.getCache("testCache");
} catch (CacheException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
cache.clear();
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
cache.add("test-" + i,i);
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
cache.add("hello-" + i,i);
@Test
public void testReadByDefaultKey1() {
cache.removeLike("test");
@Test
public void testReadByDefaultKey2() {
cache.removeStartWith("test");
The test results show that the:
removeLike , execute time : 637
removeStartWith , execute time :125
Circulating KEY faster than using likeFilter quickly.

Only Pentium 3's do not support running 64 bit operating systems Or there are others processors as well

Hi,
I was told that 'Unfortunately Pentium 3's do not support running 64 bit operating systems.'
However, I really noticed many other people say that I should run a hardware reading program, such as 'SecurAble' to be sure that my processor will be capable to run 64Bit operating systems or not.
Thus, if [b]only Pentium 3's [/b]do not support running 64 bit operating systems, then there is no need from running such a program(screen shot below).
I really run this program using Windows 7(64Bit) with HP Laptop Core i5. And this is the reslut:
64-Bit Processing Available
This processor does offer 64-bit modes of operation. This means that this system is able to run the significantly more secure 64-bit versions of Microsoft's Windows XP and Vista operating systems.
The biggest challenge for 64-bit Windows systems is the fact that existing 32-bit device drivers cannot be used by the 64-bit operating system kernel. So if you do plan to try switching to 64-bit Windows, you should be sure to have a means for reverting
to 32-bit operation if your system's hardware turns out to be incompatible with 64-bit operation. Many people have reverted to 32-bit operation after bravely giving 64-bits a try for a short time.
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Pentium 4 CPU s may or may not be 64bit capable depending on the specific model. Intel introduced 64bit versions after a number of 32bit only models. All mainstream later Intel CPU's are 64bit capable. The Atom processor may be 32 or 64 bit capable.
There is similar path with AMD CPU's, e.g. early Athlons were 32bit only, with later models 64 bit capable.

SAP 4.7 / MSSQL Cluster Installation

Hi:
I am in the planning stages of a SAP 4.7 / MSSQL Cluster Installation. I have sone this same install in non-clustered MSQL 2005/ SAP 4.7 envirionments, but cannot find a lot of good documentation/advice for the clustered install.
For example, when we install nonclustered MSSQL 2005, we use a VB script that takes care of the DB configuration for us. Is something similiar available for a clustered install. Any advice appreciated.

David,
Do you have access to the install guides? The install on the cluster is covered extensively in these.
Hope that helps.

Can we install a new mssql cluster on the same windows cluster which already containes a mssql cluster with named instance

We have a MSSQL 2008R2 Enterprise edition with a two node active passive fail-over cluster running on 2008R2 windows cluster with out any issues,
Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup

hi,
>>Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Yes it is possible .You need to add new drives as cluster aware and install SQL server and put data and log files on thse drives.YOu would need to create named instance of SQL server and need to create different resource group.Both old installation and new
onw would work separately.
>>Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Good point indeed.You are about to create Multi instance cluster and should plan for scenario where one node is down and other node is handling load for both instances.Memory and CPU should be enough to handle the load.
>>Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup .
Just for collation if you are installing new instance seems little wierd to me.You can manage collation at column ,database and at server level.
