Because of bugs in efibootmgr and/or EFI implementations, efibootmgr doesn't always work. Using bcfg from an EFI shell or bcdedit in Windows can be more effective on some systems. That said, if efibootmgr worked for you before, I'm not sure why it would stop working, or why an existing entry might disappear. (Some EFIs do delete entries that they detect are no longer valid. This shouldn't have happened with a whole-disk dd copy, but if you duplicated the partition table and then used dd to copy partitions, it might well have happened to you. I suppose it's conceivable that the firmware detected the change from one physical disk to another, too, and deleted the original entry because of that change.)
I referenced the rEFInd page here: http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html#windows and followed the procedure to install an entry for rEFInd from Windows. I was able to add an entry no problem through windows.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this doesn't work? Nothing has changed about the system other than the disk.
It's unclear from your post whether the entry you created in Windows now works. If it does, then don't sweat it; just keep using that entry, and if you need to make changes and efibootmgr doesn't work in the future, plan to use either Windows or the bcfg command from an EFI version 2 shell.

Can't delete a logical volume group created from a blank disk image

Hi all,
I'm a recent convert from Windows, so do bear with me while I grapple with all the new terminology.
Basically, here's the problem: I've been trying to create an encrypted drive and have been at it for a few hours now. I ended up with two 'logical volume groups' created from blank disk images, neither of which are password-protected, and one of which I quite stupidly named "hidden folder" and can't rename now. Anyways, I decided to throw it all away and start right from scratch, but now disk utility won't let me delete these two logical volume groups despite me dismounting both devices, trying to trash the containing folder, etc. Some searching about online has gotten me into the belief that there should be an 'erase' tab in the disk utility window which is not showing up when I click on those drives (however, the erase tab does appear when I click on the indented partitions on each drive). Here's a screenshot to give you guys an idea:
-Here's the disk utility window. The two drives I'm trying to get rid of are "Hidden Folder" and "HD2"
-Here's what I suppose would be called the 'containing folder' in which both drives reside
-And finally my setup, just in case it's relevant
Oh and btw this would be my first post here! How exciting
Thanks in advance,
Arthur

That is as it should be. If you select "Move to Trash" does it move the folders to the trash? If so, do the following from my previous post:

Logic pro not starting up after install.

Ive tried to install Logic pro twice and both time it will not start up after install. can someone tell me what is the best way to install this program correctly? should i just pay apple more money to install the program for me?

I have exactly the same problem. Whilst 8.0.1 would hang during startup without displaying the splash screen intermittently 8.0.2 crashs every time a few seconds after displaying the splash screen.
Although my computer is almost 6 years old it is perfectly adequate for audio work. I hope this is fixed soon. Unimpressed with the quality control.

Central Inventory was not created with rapid Install Version 12.1.1.9

Hi,
I have installed a new R12.1.1 E-Business environment on HP-UX Itanium-64 bit., by following the below note,
Oracle E-Business Suite Installation and Upgrade Notes Release 12 (12.1.1) for HP-UX Itanium [ID 762891.1]
Everything was running fine without any issues...
But for the database "opatch lsinventory" is giving the error : OPatch cannot find a valid oraInst.loc file to locate Central Inventory.
I have noticed the Central Inventory is not created under /var/opt/oracle..
I did a mistake by not verifying the Latest Rapid Install version as mentioned in the above Doc under "Before Installing or Upgrading" section..
The latest is version : 12.1.1.11 and mine was : Version 12.1.1.9..
Is there a way to overcome this issue by manually creating the central inventory , I need to apply few database patches...
Thanks,
Chan.

Thanks Hussein.
The note has mentioned about registering RDBMS Oracle_home by using -atachhome option(2nd Procedure),do we need to do this for the rest of the Oracle Homes too,like Web Home and Tools Home..?
We have a typical two node install with CCM/Admin on the DB node..,No shared application tier.
Also is it fine to go with the second procedure from the Doc rather than the first one(Note that the first procedure also updates the Local Inventory, so is the recommended one when fixing Cloning or Install related issues.)
Please advice..
Thanks
Chan.

Knowledge modules files were not created after ODI installed

I installed ODI 10.1.3.5 on my Windows XP laptop and found that there are no Knowledge Module files in the directory ODI_HOME/oracledi/doc/km. Should these files be created after ODI installed or do we need to do something to create there KM files ? Appreciate if somebody can answer this ?
Thanks in advance,
Ram

Hi Ram,
Are you talking about KM XML files ? If yes then these are located at ODI_HOME/oracledi/impexp
Under ODI_HOME\oracledi\doc\km you will get the PDF document about KM development guide .

If you went from 10.3 to 10.4x you need to install proapps 3.1 for Tiger or what ever the latest proapps version apple has. It helps the stability of their "proapps".
If you havent's it's a good place to start.

Logical Volume Manager

I am planning on installing Arch on a laptop soon. I have played with it in VirtualBox on a separate computer, and I am going to hope that it works with my touchpad / wireless mouse.
I might butcher some jargon in this, but this is how I think LVMs work, and I would like to make sure.
I am going to make partitions for boot, swap, /, and /home.
I know boot only needs to be around 100MB, swap is twice the RAM -- and I saw in another thread, / around 10-15GB -- and /home is the rest.
However, I read about installing on an LVM and it is easy to re-size partitions if needed.
I only have 1 HD, and I'm mostly doing this because while I do have room to have too much space on /, if I end up only using around 4GB, I would like to have that 11GB on my /home for music or videos.
So I think that means I would have something like this:
sda1: boot, around 100MB.
sda2: LVM, which contains swap, /, and /home.
pvcreate /dev/sda2 creates the physical volume on the LVM, allowing me to partition it.
After that, this is where I am confused.
The Arch Wiki says:
Create Volume group(s)
Next step is to create a volume group on this physical volumes. First you need to create a volume group on one of the new partitions and then add to it all other physical volumes you want to have in it:
# vgcreate VolGroup00 /dev/sda2
# vgextend VolGroup00 /dev/sdb1
Also you can use any other name you like instead of VolGroup00 for a volume group when creating it. You can track how your volume group grows with:
Can I skip this since I have only 1 HD? I guess that /dev/sdb1 is the LVM from the other harddrive?
I suppose I would have to do vgcreate VolGroup00 /dev/sda2 just to create the volume goup, though. Is this correct?
After this step, I am pretty much lost. Here's what the wiki says, and how I am interpreting it...
# lvcreate -L 10G VolGroup00 -n lvolhome
This will create a logical volume that you can access later with /dev/mapper/Volgroup00-lvolhome or /dev/VolGroup00/lvolhome. Same as with the volume groups you can use any name you want for your logical volume when creating it.
So later, I would turn this into my home partition during the Arch installation? I would create a lvolswap, and a lvolroot?
Then, during the installation process, I would format them to ext3, and mount them as /home, /, and then select lvolswap as my swap partition?
That's about it for now, I guess.

odd, to my knowledge grub can't be on an LVM. why not install grub on MBR?
I actually figured this out maybe an hour ago.
I changed my GRUB configuration file, but since it's in a virtualbox, out of habit I type arch root=/dev/sda3 on startup, but I needed to type root=/dev/VG00/lvolroot. I had grub on /boot (not on the LVM), but when I was trying to boot, I told it to go to the wrong place for root. I could probably unmount the .iso for the vbox, but whatever.
I will read a little more about RAID.
If I end up figuring out how to do it, would I need my external hooked up to it all the time? I have tote the laptop around, and I wouldn't want the external mucking up the portability.
I wasn't aware you were on a laptop. In that case, a file server would do you best. But cheapest solution would be just to stick with an external hard drive and not RAID.

OSX Yosemite Logical Volume Group - FIX!

Hey guys,
For anyone wondering or concerned about why, when entering Disk Utility, the SSD name has been changed and you now see Macintosh HD and Macintosh HD below. The one above is listed as a Logical Volume Group with an "online" status while the one below that is your physical HDD (so normal as with previous OS's.
I must note that I do not have any recovery partition when holding option when booting (after installing straight onto Mavericks, nor when making my own bootable copy).
However, I did find a way to fix the Hard Drive name issue and revert it back to original format (I did find this fix online, and it has worked for me).
I included pictures below as well.
First one shows original Yosemite SSD name change (from Apple SSD to Macintosh HD with 18.9MB available)
Second shows your normal HHD name unchanged.
Go to Terminal and enter the following:
diskutil cs list
then you will see a bunch of volumes jump up
enter: diskutil cs revert "UUID"
under "UUID", enter the the Logical Volume code number without brackets.
Do not copy and paste it from terminal into your new terminal line. Write it out.
Hit enter and it will ask to reboot your Mac.
Once, rebooted, your old SSD/HDD name with reappear as in Mavericks.
My entire terminal line is shown in the picture attached.
Either way (SSD name changed or reverted) did not changed how the system performed. Everything is running as it should.
Final result shown in last picture!
Hopefully this is just a bug that Apple will fix.
Please ignore the DiskMaker drive (I was making a bootable copy on my external!!)

Thanks for the tip. I see its a common trouble. But i stuck a problem that cannot be solved with this method cause i dont have revertable logic volume.
SO i cannot install system now. There's no visible disk any more.

SE3511 - recovering logical volumes

Hi ,
I have a SE3511 array with one controller array and a JBOD both are fully populated with 400GB disks. There is one each logical drives(RAID5) configured on both controller array and JBOD. Each logical drives were divided into two logical volumes of equal size. SO I had 4 logical volumes total. After doing a physical move of the array to different location, I had some problems witht the array. When I checked the configuration, i could see all the logical volumes are disappeared, but still the logical drives are there. Unfortunately I didn't take a configuration backp of the styorage. But I know the size of the logical volumes.
Can any body help how to recover the lost logical volumes or create the logical volumes without losing data.
Thanks
Babu

Not sure what the impact of this is on non-guarded components - could be that if it flashes the logical back too that it loses all the non-guarded components

Extend the logical volume

Hi Everybody
I my current project no Unix administrator.
Here system is Oracle Parallel Server in HP-UX environment
(oracle 8.1.6) and database is created in the RAW devices.
For the RAW devices volume group is vgoracle. In the volume
group (vgoracle) all oracle datafiles logical volumes were
created.
The problem is, for the system datafile the logical volume name
is orasystem and the size is 300 MB. I need to increase this the
orasystem logical volume from 300MB to 1.5GB or 1GB.
After shutdown the database can I increase the logical volume by
using the following unix command
lvextend -L 1500 /dev/vgoracle/orasystem
If I increase the logical volume is there any possibility of
database crush. Now the situation is I should not re-create the
database.
Regards
Michael Selvam

It is related to both because there are oracle datafiles on those raw devices.
While looking around I found that it seems possible to extend logical volumes on the fly but if there is a file system based on it the file system must support this feature.
In my case I don't have any file systems on the logical volumes but datafiles,redologs,spfile and control files of an oracle RDMS so the question may regard Oracle as well.
I post this question here because I imagine that there should be at least one other oracle dba that experienced the same problem.
For example you've experienced this problem but in a different platform. It seems good to know that its is possible to extend a logical volume in AIX without corrupting the datafiles on it on fly.
One more thing then. Could you please tell me if adding a disk to a volume group ( the action I should do before extending the logical volume of that group ) is safe like extending a logical volume.
Thanks
Bye Alessandro

How Will Yosemite Logical Volume Group Affect Two-Partition Drive?

After installing Yosemite, my Macintosh HD became a Logical Volume Group. Now, in Disk Utility, both the Drive and the Volume have the same name — Macintosh HD. I want to use one of two partitions on an extra internal drive in my Mac Pro (Mid 2010) as a bootable clone of my Yosemite startup drive, using SuperDuper!. When cloning is complete, will my spare drive become a Logical Volume Group with a renamed drive? Will that effect the other partition, which is a bootable Mavericks clone?

Thanks for the tip. I see its a common trouble. But i stuck a problem that cannot be solved with this method cause i dont have revertable logic volume.
SO i cannot install system now. There's no visible disk any more.

New computer. Acrobat 7 will not create the pdf maker

Got the file from the [email protected] site as directed by tech support. It loaded and can open pdf files but will not create. When installing it said cannot create the pdf maker.
How can I fix?

Hi ronc638131,
What operating system are you using? I'm guessing that if you have a new computer, you most likely have an operating system that is much newer than Acrobat 7, and on which Acrobat 7 was never tested. Please see the Acrobat system requirements here: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-acrobat-family-produ cts.html

Error message when installing Yosemite OS: this core storage operation is not allowed on a sparse logical volume group

I was updating my Macbook Air (i7, 4mb RAM, 256 gb) to Yosemite OS when the process was interrupted. After retry, my computer is showing the following message: "this core storage operation is not allowed on a sparse logical volume group". I tried to restart several times, but the problem goes on with error. It would be my computer damaged?

If you don't already have a current backup of all data, back up before proceeding. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility window, select the icon of the startup volume from the list on the left. It will be nested below another disk icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar. When prompted, enter the login password of a user authorized to unlock the volume, or the alternate decryption key that was generated when you activated FileVault.
Then, from the menu bar, select
File ▹ Turn Off Encryption
Enter the password again.
You can then restart as usual, if the system is working. Decryption will be completed in the background. It may take several hours, and during that time performance will be reduced.
If you can't turn off encryption in Disk Utility because the menu item is grayed out, you'll have to erase the volume and then restore the data from a backup. Select the Erase tab, and then select
Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
from the Format menu.
You can then quit to be returned to the main Recovery screen. Follow these instructions if you back up with Time Machine. If you use other backup software, follow its developer's instructions.
Don't erase the volume unless you have at least two complete, independent backups. One is not enough to be safe.

Installing OS X Yosemite has changed my Macintosh HD type to Logical Volume Group

I have just installed OS X 10.10 Yosemite on my late 2013 MacBook Pro with Retina Display,
The installation has worked perfectly and my computer is now running fine. However after opening disk utility I have noticed where previously my HD would be named "Apple SSD...." and the partition underneath would be named Macintosh HD, both are now the same. Also, previously the HD was GUID type and now they have changed to Logical Volume Group and Logical Partition.
I installed the software by creating a bootable memory stick with OS X 10.10 and completed a clean install by completely erasing the HD and then installing the new software. After the HD had been erased, Disk Utility still showed the HD as "Apple SSD...." with the partition "Macintosh HD" below and with Type: GUID. It wasn't until after the installation was complete and I had set up the computer and then gone back into Disk Utility when I released it had changed to both labels being "Macintosh HD" and the format type being Logical Volume Group and Logical Partition.
I have no clue if this is normal and was a planned changed (i.e the software was designed to change it) or if my installation has gone horribly wrong. Can the HD format type be changed back or does Yosemite have to run on Logical Partition and Logical Volume Group formatted HD's.
Any help would be appreciated as I'm not an expert and I have tried googling for hours and can't find anything helpful/useful or that will work.

It's a designed change during the Yosemite install process. John Siracusa's excellent review of Yosemite over at Ars Technica provides some commentary on the change, specifically this page: http://arstechnica.com/apple/2014/10/os-x-10-10/2/
