Looking for disk I/O test for ASM?

We are running oracle 10.2.0.3 on RHEL4 itanium 64 bit and we are using ASM for out database storage. IN our production environemnt the disk subsystem is an EMC clarion array but in our test environment our disk subsystem is an HP MSA storage.
I am looking for a good way to test the disk I/O throughput between the 2 storage arrays when the disks are configured as oracle ASM disks?
Can ayone make any suggestions on this testing.
Thx.

Perhaps not understanding your question, but we run 10g2 on Linux RHEL with ASM on SAN and use iostat to monitor IO performance.
We implement multipathing and so run /sbin/multipath -l to discover the names of the devices and then run iostat like so:
iostat -x dm-0 dm-1 15
which will print stats every 15 seconds for the 2 named devices dm-0 and dm-1

Is there a possibility for a one-day-test for "Adobe ExportPDF"

Hi
before I order "
"Adobe ExportPDF"
I would like to test this service /OCR-Engine.
Does anybody know how good the OCR is for documents which have been scanned in with a flatbed scanner and tranfered into PDF with 300dpi?
Does it recognize german documents? Could I test this for one document, before I buy the service for one year?
Thanks
Jochen

Hi Ajlan,
thank you for your reply.
Is the Adobe ExportPDF service (engine) equivalent to Adobe Acrobat XI
pro software?
Or is it different. I ask especially, if the Adobe ExportPDF service
give me back a word/spelling checked/corrected PDF or just as in Adobe
Acrobat XI pro, whereafter I have to do the correction myself.
Thank you
best regards
Jochen

Looking for best way to test for a program

I like test path better. My problem is through all the different versions of office they cant all install to the same directory. Research time.

I'm writing a script that will automatically install Outlook 2010 if Office 2013, 2010, 2007, or 2003 are not installed. It's part of a script I already have each tech has to run locally due to management decisions(that I have no control over). Right now I prompt the tech if they want to install it. Then test for the installer and install it.
PowershellDo{$outlook = read-host "Would you like to install Outlook 2010? y/n" IF ($outlook -eq "y") { If (Test-Path -Path C:\Update\outlook2010) { saps -filepath C:\update\outlook2010\setup.exe -wait } Else { Write-host "Outlook is not in the update folder!" -ForegroundColor Red } }ElseIF ($outlook -eq "n") { Write-Host "Please make sure there is an email client." -ForegroundColor Yellow }}While ('y','n' -notcontains $outlook)What I would like to do is remove the prompt as it's a volume license...

Is there any differnce between the Numeric Limit Test source code from TestStand 3.0 to TestStand 3.1? How to get the source code for the Numric Limit Test for both the versions?

I need to know the differnece between the Numeric Limit Test between the TestStand version 3.0 to 3.1. If there is any differnec in the source code how to find it out? If somebody has the code can you share it?
Thanks,
Jeyan

Hi,
I don't believe there are any differences between the two versions. But you can check the source code for the Numeric Limit Test in TestStand\Components\NI\StepTypes\CommonSubsteps. But the main part of the step is the Code Module and this bit the users supplies this.

Ask for disks replacement or wait for Snow Leopard?

I think I've lost the OSX Leopard disks (both of them) that came with my MacBook unibody.
In a recent post I've read that it's possible to ask Apple for a replacement. But considering that I'm going to upgrade to Snow Leopard, are the original ones still necesary?
Does the SL distro (the upgrade, I mean) contain, for instance, XCode or the Windows drivers for bootcamp?
I also bought the iLife'09 upgrade .... [click in my mind and some minutes later] .... Ugh. Things are getting worse, I can't find that disk either. Ok, let's forget iLife for the moment.
I'm using a TimeCapsule to backing up my Mac. AFAIU, if something goes wrong with my HD I can restore from the backup but I still do need the OS disks. Is that correct?
Once I've installed SL, could the restore be done from within the SL disk making Leopard disk "obsolete"?
Regards

none of your SL questions can be answered here until snow leopard is officially released. that would be against forum rules and people who do have snow leopard already are still under NDA. but regardless of the answers I would certainly suggest you get the replacement disks. those install disks contain ilife that came with your computer and apple hardware tests which will be absent on a retail leopard or snow leopard disk. also, to restore your entire leopard system from a TM backup you will need a leopard install disk.

Does anyone have experience for disk damage and loss?

Does anyone have experience for disk damage and
loss for B1? What's the procedure to get new one?
Any cost involved.

Hi Kenneth
Usualy we take the strongest measures to avoid that and never let it come to that. You should of had back up's running on and off site. How bad is your problem?? I'm assuming you are talking abou a hard drive that is faulty. Have you tried restarting in Safe Mode??
You get experts that can retrieve data from a hard drive depending how bad the problem is. It usualy cost more than the Hard drive......but if you are desperate and value your data you'll do it.
Hope this helps

Trying to restore from time capsule to nes hard drive, keeps looking for disks ! Can you help

ccan't restore from time capsule to new hard drive, after changing to new HD, after calculating required space to restore it keeps looking for disks! Have have put original OS X install disk 1 in it won't Eject , any help

The very best way to do this is with ethernet to the existing router. Put the TC in bridge mode manually.
Then plug it in to existing router.. we recommend LAN router to WAN on the TC but even that is not 100% necessary.
If you want to link by wireless, to a non-apple router that is bad.. recommend strongly against it. Join a wireless network is super slow.
If you have a desktop Mac you can plug it directly into the Mac by ethernet.
But we need to know how the Mac is connected to internet.
I have given some info on one layout here.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
If you end up relying on an old TC. And any of the models from Gen1-3.. and increasingly Gen4 have all reached EOL.. they can die suddenly and either take your files with them or be hard to recover. Also a TC is slow cf a USB external drive even, which is more reliable. Considering a 2TB is <$100 I would be careful using an old TC simply because you got it free.

Am looking for any example vi's for impact/modal analysis testing. I am

LAbview VI or C++ application in labview CVI

This looks like a problem with the current needed for the hammer force sensor, but I cannot see how to chnage any settings for this within the VI.
Any suggestions?
Also, why is there no choice for "force sensor" within labview for analogue inputs - why use ccelerometer for channel 0 ?

Directory Damage, what can be used for Disk Repair and Virus Detection?

Hi,
My eMac is acting up. Yesterday I started getting these messages that I needed to restart my computer (message was in a brown box window with an icon of a start up button in background).
I did the disk repair using Start up CD and it came back with "invalid key......." or something like that, and when I tried to repair it, it tried to repair the B-Tree's but then said it could not repair the problem.
I have Diskwarrior 3.03 Build 39, on a CD and on my FW Ext HD, which has a clone of my Mac HD.
Diskwarrior could not produce a graph of Mac HD because the directory was damaged. When I did a rebuild it hung on step 9 comparing directories, said there was 7 million + tests. ( I let it hang on step 9 for 15 hrs. to see if maybe it was just taking a long time due to corrupt directory). I finally clicked on Skip and got to the report page. I could do a preview, but the replace button is greyed out. When I was comparing the sizes of each folder, in both preview and original, I got a can not calculate error message on a few of them. The size of Mac HD in preview compared to the one in Original was different by 4 gbs. A week ago I repaired the Mac HD and did a Diskwarrior directory repair on all my HD's.
Before I do any reformatting of HD or other drastic measures, I was wondering what is safe to use for disk repair and virus detection. I know there is Norton System Works 3.0, Norton AntiVirus and TechTool, are these the only ones? Are these safe to use? Are there any other programs that can repair directory damage?
Thank you in advance,
Deb

The long-standing rule of thimb has been that if Disk Warrior can't repair a mungled disk directory, then you're looking at reformatting or replacing the hard drive. Since this is a week-old hard drive, I'd suspect the replacement hard drive is itself bad. It might save you grief in the long run to contact the vendor who sold you the drive and inquire about their warrenty. You might want to first run the file system check utility fsck as described in Using Disk Utility and fsck
Directory repair and antivirus protection are different critters. Norton AV is mostly safe (if you don't mind it's track record of false positives) and is used by the IT department at the lab where I work. Norton SystemWorks, AKA Disk Doctor Kervorkian, is most assuredly NOT safe. For every poster reporting something nice about it, you'll find at least 2 dozen cursing it. It has a known track record of detecting problems no other utility finds and of "repairing" drives such that nothing can then read or repair the drive short of low-level reformatting (and occasionally even that fails).
Tech Tool Pro 4 has a good reputation, as does Drive Genius. Tiger OS X 10.4.2 and later include a version of Disk Utility that can for the first time also make effective B-tree and keys out of order and overlapped extent repairs. Still, my personal gut feeling is that if Disk Warrior is choking on the hard drive, you're looking at reformatring while zeros the drive (zeroing should detect and map out bad physical secotrs).
You can also refer to Disk First Aid: What to do when it finds an error and to Handling "overlapped extent allocation" errors reported by Disk Utility or fsck

Best practice for oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM

Did any one tried/installed Oracle 10.2 RAC with ASM and CRS ?
What is the best practice?
1. separate home for CRS, ASM and Oracle Database?
2. separate home for CRS and same home for ASM and Oracle Darabase?
we set up the test environment with separate CRS, ASM and Oracle database homes, but we have tons of issues with the listener, spfile and tnsnames.ora files. So, seeking advise from the gurus who implimeted/tested the same ?

I am getting ready to install the 10gR2 database software (10gR2 Clusterware was just installed ) and I want to have a home for ASM and another for database as you suggest. I have been told that 10gR2 was to have a smaller set of binaries that can be used for the ASM home ... but I am not sure how I go about installing it. The first look at the installer does not seem to make it obvious...Is it a custom build option?

Advice for settip up a SSD for my boot disk

I am running an early 2008 Mac Pro 2x2.8 Quad-Core Xeon machine. I currently have 2 1TB drives. I would like to put install a Solid State drive as my boot disk and switch the current 1TB boot disk to another bay for a total of 3 drives. Can anyone advise what I would need to get in terms of space/product/connection type in order to do this? I have a lot of applications, 33GB worth, and my System and Library folders are about 30GB as well. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Boots in ~19 seconds (instead of ~25 seconds with default disk). Spotlight is very fast, overall performance is very good. AFAIK the controller uses some implementation of internal garbage collection, ATA-Trim is not available in OSX.
The SSDs are available with more capacity (160GB). Double the size and you double the cost. 80GB cost ~200 Euro, 160GB cost ~400 Euro. Look for SLC instead of MLC chips and you find yourself spending roughly 800 Euro for 64GB capacity. Which SSD is for you depends on your needs. Most (if not all) recent SSDs are more than fast enough to beat most if not all HDDs in terms of throughput and access time.
Whatever SSD you are buying, you need an extra drive carrier because those SSDs are 2.5". Using the adapter shipped with the retail version of the SSDs doesn't work with the backplane. I've bought a drive carrier from Kingston[2] which costs ~20 Euro.

How can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3

Does anyone know how can i get or download the apple hardware test for a macbook pro made in 2012 running Mavericks 10.9.3. Thanks.

Sean and Andy -
I have to agree with Andy here. I am having the same problem on a mid 2010 MBP (6,2). I have already read the AHT info provided by Sean's link, and they are less than helpful. I'm sure they will be helpful to those who find that they work, but they are confusing if this is not the case. For example, my MBP(6,2) came with ONE (not two) installation disks, so the instructions don't work for me. Another issue is the instructions confound the descriptions related to the MBP, the original (delivered) software (OS X version), and the current installed OS X upgrade software.
So here's what does NOT work for me...
     (A) I cannot install 'Disk 2', since I never received this with my original (new) purchase in mid 2010.
     (B) I have checked my firmware versions and they are all up to date, as per Apple's information.
     (C) As suggested in another thread, I looked for /Library/Core Services/.diagnostics and it was NOT present. I followed his instructions, downloaded the correct (I believe) dmg, and installed it. It is in the correct place, and I can see all the invisible files using Pathfinder.
     (D) When I re-start holding down the D key (immediately), it just goes through the normal boot routine; no evidence of AHT.
     (E.1) When I re-start holding down OPT-D, I get a spinning globe, and then it prompts me for a network (wi-fi) connection.
     (E.2) For some unknown reason, the prompt identifies between 2 and 5 of my --neighbors'-- routers, but does not show mine. (??!!)
     (E.3) The routers are listed alphabetically; however, my router SHOULD be at the top of the list by this criterion, but it is nowhere to be seen.
     (E.4) The 'internet recovery' process then allows me to enter a network name AND password. I do this, for my current wi-fi router, and the process rejects it as an incorrect login ID. It is NOT an incorrect login ID!
So, now asking Sean and Andy (or anyone else) for further suggestions... ??? As Andy suggested, many people ask questions here because they have -already- worked through the 'official' recommendations, and have found them to be inadequate.
Any advice would be appreciated! TIA.

Apple Hardware Test for G5 1.6 GHz

I bought my Power Mac G5/1.6 GHz used a few weeks ago and since I'm not the original owner I didn't get any disks with it. At first I didn't think that was a problem since I have a "family pack" of OSX 10.4 Tiger, iWork, iLife etc.
My problem is that I've not been able to find a CD/DVD with the proper Apple Hardware Test for the G5.
Anyone know how I can get one, or maybe some kind soul can make a copy of theirs for me?
I think I may have a problem with the ethernet on this machine and I've got no way to run the Apple Hardware Test since I don't have the right version for the G5.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the quick reply DaddyPaycheck.
I have looked all over the various Apple sites and I've not been able to find exactly where, how and who I should contact at Apple.
Should this be a phone call or an email message and to what department?
I don't mind paying for it, I just have not had any luck figuring out who and where at Apple I should be contacting.
Yes, I couldn't agree with you more regarding the original disks being sold along with the Macs.
As I said I didn't think about it since I've got all the other stuff but I completely forgot about the AHT being a model specific disk that's hard to find.
I've got the guy I bought this G5 from trying to track down a disk with the right AHT for me. He got this and several other G5's from a woman and he's got her looking as well.
Thanks again for your help.
Regards,
John

Need Disk 2 for10.4.2 got stuck asking for disk 2

I purchased a used Imac G5 with 10.5 on it. I need 10.4 for a billing program I use. The Imac G5 install disk 1 came with the G5. I started the install and got 3/4 done, then it asks for disk 2. Bad news? No disk 2. The previous owner said he never used the disk and there is only the one I have.
Whenever I boot the computer, it turns on and asks for Disc 2. Is there any way to get in and take off the 10.4 update I did? That way I can go back to running 10.5 [I have no disk for 10.5 it was just loaded on the machine]. I can boot the computer using my external drive that has 10.4.11 on it. Any help is much appreciated.
I had to purchase this G5 because my Imac G4 15 flat panel was dealt a double power surge on Monday and died. Luckily Mac folks able to make a complete copy of the contents on the hard drive.
Thank you in advance, it has been quite a week.

You can call Apple Customer Relations 800-767-2775 and they will send you the install discs for a small fee.
Do call them and have the serial # handy. But someone a couple of weeks ago, reported that Apple said they didn't have any more. (It was for iMac PPC (2005 I think). So if you get some Post back.
One thing you can try with the one disk, is before the install starts, click on the custom button, and uncheck as much as possible. When it ask for #2, I think its looking for applications to install and maybe X11. Good luck
