Linked clones , sysprep sql server , how does storage works

Hi,
I have created a sysprep install of SQL Server 2008 R2 . deployed linked clones from this templates.
Everything works fine !!!
I just want to know how the installatioon takes place. will the linked clones share the binaries and files from parent ?
will there be any performance degration in future ?
or all the SQL Server program files and installation files actually gets copied over ?
What exactly happens ...
Thanks

The deployed linked clones of your SQL template contain only the difference in data between themselves and the original template.  Therefore when they are 1st deployed there is very little data attributable to them.  Once you've powered them on, and loaded some data in, the linked-clone's virtual disk files will contain, the difference between themselves and the base template, and will grow in size as they're used and data changes.
So (overly simplifying things) the OS and SQL application will reside in the VM template, and the SQL data imported after clone/deployment will reside in the linked clone.  If you update the OS or SQL install (or make any otehr changes that will affect data stored on the VM's disks), these changes will occur in the linked-clone, but will still be dependant on the original template.
So far as performance is concerned, there can be some performance drop when using linked clones as opposed to full fat VM's, in a similar fashion to normal VM's with snapshots.  Normally it isn't a problem, even if you have a chain of linked clones of linked clones, but it can be.  All depends on how much you need to push your SQL servers, and how much grunt is available from your ESX's and the storage that your VM's are running from.

  • Debugging mode in server - How does it work?

    Hi
    How does debugging mode in a server work ?
    Is the code compiled line by line as we proceed or how ?
    When we make a code change how is the hot code replaced when in debug mode and why not in normal run mode?
    Why is it not necessary to restart a server when we make changes to jsp when in normal mode?
    Thanks in Advance

    How does debugging mode in a server work ?Just like in any othe rprogram.
    Then how is it possible to change the values when
    the program is running . i.e. we have a option that
    we can change the values right !!
    Because the debug api allows you to do that.
    >
    s the code compiled line by line as we proceedor
    how ?
    No. Line number information is stored in the.class
    file, and the editor simply displays the line the
    bytecode mentions. Whether bytecode and sourcecode
    match is a different thing.
    I had previously read that the compiler compiles
    the code with break points at the beginning of every
    class (for step by step method)
    I agree with Rene. It happensthat you debug with the wrong source code and you will in that case notice that the debugger is saying that you are executing a line between methods.
    >
    >
    When we make a code change how is the hot code
    replaced when in debug mode and why not innormal
    run
    mode?I guess the executed bytecode for a method issimply
    replaced in memory... the entry point was probably
    stored and will be used to re-set to method entry
    before running the new bytecode.
    Then why is it not done when we are running the
    server in the normal mode.
    Why would it? What code should it replace it with?
    >
    >
    Why is it not necessary to restart a server when
    we
    make changes to jsp when in normal mode?
    Because the server can notice the change andunload
    and reload the class.
    I meant that when the jsp is compiled the servlet
    is created when i run the server right.(i'm not
    sure).
    So when I change the code and without restarting the
    server I run a jsp file it reflects the changes...
    HOW??
    Because some servlet runners can be configured to check changes on disk, and recompile if needed.

  • Whenever an slowness issue came in sql server how should I start?

    whenever a slowness issue or performance issue came in sql server how should I start?
    Please guide.
    Thanks

    Hi Ajay,
    All answer given above would be useful to you in some or the other scenario. if you are facing performance issue the approach you take determines how easily and quickly you can find solution.
    First thing is know your system how it works for that you need to first baseline a system. A system with 70 % CPU utilization would not always be issue but for some environment it can be. If you know your system very well moment performance issue  comes
    you would know where is the problem. Wait stats alone is never helpful you must be able to correlate wait stats to what is going on your system. If you know which query is causing issue its easy to see execution plan and tune it. If issue is server wide it
    can be due to missing index outdated stats slow disk subsystem etc. So first step is finding the cause. As Uri suggested wait stats are always helpful I use wait stats and refer to below whitepaper by Microsoft for SQL Server troubleshooting
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd672789%28v=sql.100%29.aspx
    Remember important thing is knowing your system and that can come from base lining.

    If I buy more storage from cloud how does that work and will I be able to buy more movies.

    Works good, but not for movies.
    You can buy movies, but you are going to need space on the device to watch them. You can only get that space two ways.
    Clean out something else or buy bigger capacity iphone/ipad/ipod.

  • How does autoFS work?

    How does it work? I guess on a more technical aspect. Why do some of my samba shares not show up? Would they show up better if they were afp or ftp or something? And why do they then show up after I go to server and put in the ip address? I've added a share to my login items but I guess that only means when I boot up and not when I login from sleep. I even have an alias to a folder on the share on my desktop hoping that would create the link needed but it doesn't really work. How can I make the Finder/AutoFS scan the network for shares?

  • How does this work?

    This is not a complaint, but a confused sigh of admiration. I've got an email account at the university where I teach. When I got my iBook, it took me a while, and a few conversations with IT at the school, to get this account working in the Mail application. (Since I have a Verizon DSL at home, I had to include that SMTP as the outgoing server.) Anyway, I synched this mail account (along with my AOL and .Mac accounts) onto the iPhone, and it works perfectly, both incoming and outgoing. I didn't have to change any of the settings. I thought I was computer savvy, but I can't wrap my mind around this. It seems like magic. How does it work?

    The sync process with iTunes transfers the email account settings (for your chosen accounts via your iPhone sync preferences) from the Mail application on your Mac to the iPhone's email application.
    The iPhone is running OS X and the iPhone's email client can be considered a mobile version of the Mail application.

  • What is efax and how does it work?

    Hi!
    eFax® is a service provided by eFax®, not Hewlett-Packard, that allows you to send and receive faxes using the Internet rather than a phone line. eFax® is easy to use, but it is different than a typical phone-based fax machine. You don't require a phone line to use it, so you don't have to worry about busy signals and you can place your printer where you want it, not where the phone jacks are located! The fax number you are provided will not typically be a local number, and may even be in a different country. You will receive 20 incoming and 20 outgoing fax pages per month for free with this service. Your page counts will reset at midnight Pacific Time on the first of each month. You can also subscribe to eFax® Plus to obtain additional pages per month by visiting: http://www.eFax.com/products/internet-fax.
    How does it work?
    eFax® uses the printer Internet connection to send and receive faxes. When you send a fax, it is sent over the Internet to the eFax® server and then eFax® sends your fax to the recipient's fax machine over a standard phone line.
    Your faxes are received in a similar manner, but the order is reversed. The sender sends the fax over a phone line to eFax® and then eFax® sends the fax to your printer using HP's ePrint service.
    This question was solved.

    Hi Im_cheesecake,
    Great information, if you don't mind I just wanted to piggy back off of your post, to clear any potential confusion.
    The 20 free incoming & 20 free outgoing faxes are with HP printer's that include the eFax service print app.  As of now, we have three printer series' that include the pre-installed eFax print app: HP Photosmart 7510 Series, HP Envy 110 Series, and the HP Photosmart eStation C510a.  
    eFax also has a free plan which allows you to receive a limited number of faxes but does not allow you to send any faxes. If you exceed the number of received faxes allowed, eFax will prompt you to upgrade to a paying account. Here are the main details of the free plan:
    One remote (i.e. non-local) eFax number
    Area code/prefix is selected by eFax and cannot be changed (unless you upgrade to a paid account)
    20 incoming fax pages per month (receive-only)
    You are prompted to upgrade to a paying account if you exceed 20 incoming pages, or if you need send capability.

  • JDBC Adapter:- How does it work??

    Dear Friends,
    I would like to know the nuts and bolts of JDBC adapter.
    1.)How does it work internally?Internally what does sap use?
    2.)In my scenario i just need to access a sap table so Can i write my Java JDBC program to access it.?
    3.)Is there any other way to sent data from Idocs to map to a external database with out using XI.?
    thx,
    jeevan

    Hi Jeevan,
    As far as the JDBC adapter goes, internally it uses, obviously JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity). Thus all the calls from this adapter are internally SQL Queries (Either Select, Insert, Update, Delete, Execute Stored Procedure) that are sent using Java JDBC API.
    In Sender Configuration, it needs a Select and an Update query to be configured into it. It polls the External Database at specific intervals (Polling Interval in the Channel Configuration),i.e., it connects to the Database via a JDBC Connection and runs the select query. The data from the query is sent to XI as an XML Document. The update query is used to update the DB such that the same data is not picked again in the next poll. This is generally done through a status field. The select query's Where clause should pick records with one status and the update should change all those statuses so that the select does not pick them again.

    In receiver configuration, the channels creates SQL statements from the XML Document it receives. This can be either Select, Insert, Update, Delete or Stored Procedure Call Statements. This requires you to give the receiver channel an XML Document in a pre-defined Schema.

Note that the kind of SQL Statement generated (Select, Update, etc) is dependent on the schema provided.

  • Menu Object; MANUAL option. What is this, and how does it work?

    What is this... and, how does it work? Can't find documentation on this.

    My knee-jerk reaction is, "are f'n kidding me?"... but, of course, you're not.
    I must say, that is an incredibly useless option. How would that 'option" differ from simply making a text object (or text/rectangle/image combo or group) and creating a link?
    What got me looking at this option was the hope to find some way to insert a dynamic "field" that could be used on a master page to display the current page title (of a page based on that master). Something similar to Word (and other applications) that you can enter information into a document property and then insert that information anywhere within the document by using a field code for that info. I don't know if there is an HTML code that could be used to accomplish this, in this case. Something that would refer to the page title.
    Thanks for the info none-the-less.

  • What is 'mobile account' and how does it work?

    This is a hidden feature in Mac OS Leopard, that I believe require an Leopard Server on the network.
    I have not found it in the regular user interface, but it can be revealed by following the below process:
    1. Go to System Preferences > Accounts
    2. Unlock
    3. Search for mobile account, and press Enter
    4. Wait for the Mobile account options to show up
    What is this feature? How does it work?
    I have found no references to it in the normal documentation.

    Google is your friend:
    "A mobile account is a Mac OS X Server user account that has been copied to a local computer and remains synchronized with the server account so that both locations contain a matching set of data."(Mac OS X Server User Management, p. 46).
    And it has been around since 10.3, so it is not something new to Leopard.

  • ORACLETEXTSEARCH - How Does it work?

    Hi experts,
    I had a many disccusions with my coleagues about ORACLETEXTSEARCH in the UCM11g. We found that we don't undestrand How does it work.
    I have a basic questions:
    1. Does ORACLETEXTSEARCH use only database engine for the indexing?
    2. Can I start fulltext indexing without Oracle UCM? Only by database.
    3. Are some differences between UCM10g and 11g?
    Thank you for the answers and the explanation.
    Martin

    1. Oracle text is a DB tool installed at the DB level, however as others say the triggers to kick it off are done by UCM not independently at the DB. I do not think it could work that way.
    2. No, but other indexing options are available like SES
    3. 10g required a component to be added to the UCM server and required an 11.1.0.7.0 or greater oracle DB. 11g requires no extra component but still has the db requirement.
    SES can be configured to index multiple different repositories (including UCM) and you can control the index rebuilds directly from SES as an option for number 2.
