LUN Mask changes without reboot?

Are there any controller firmware enhancements in process to allow LUN masking changes without a controller reboot? We have several XRAIDs in our SAN with masking enabled. With the current limitation we must schedule several servers to be down before making the changes. That's really a pain...

Delegate dataset to zone without reboot.

Hi.
Doc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19253-01/819-5461/gbbst/index.html describe how add dataset to zone.
# zonecfg -z zion
zonecfg:zion> add dataset
zonecfg:zion:dataset> set name=tank/zone/zion
zonecfg:zion:dataset> endBut i should restart zone for activate changes.
Is it possible activate changes without reboot zone?
Thanks.

Huh, i'm rather certain Nik would remember to do that.
Anyway, for normal filesystems you can mount them using the type LOFS into the zones, i'm uncertain if that works for datasets.
Its possible that you could accomplish it by setting the zfs property zoned to the zone and mount it with zfs mount.. but I've never tried it with datasets and zones..
Also, this is now a quite old issue, so i guess it was solved somehow :-)

Changing CPU/RAM without reboot

Hi,
I just want to know if I can change the amount of ram and cpu of a VM without rebooting in Oracle VM.
I did'nt find this information anywhere.
I tested XenServer before and I couldnt. But I did'nt have time to test that feature in Oracle VM so far.
Thanks!

In Oracle VM Manager there are two memory settings for each guest: Maximum Memory Size and Memory Size. The first is the largest to which you can set a running guest, the second is the currently assigned memory size. With cores, whatever the number was when you started the guest is the maximum -- you can then reduce the number of cores within the interface without rebooting.
Any changes to maximum memory or core count requires a reboot of the guest, though.

Lun Masking

Hello
I have an xserve raid (firmware 1.5.1/1.5.1.c) configured with 3 slices and Lun Masking which 3 xserves connect to. They are all attached to a qlogic fc switch.
Recently the company bought 2 more servers to support another area and they need them to mount 2 of the slices. I added the WWN to the corresponding zoneset in the switch, and added the WWN to the lun masking configuration (using raid admin 1.5) and i got the volumes mounted in the new servers.
The next day i recieve a phone call asking me to switch the volumes from the servers, slice 2 to server 4 and slice 1 to server 5. After making the appropiate changes in server admin and rebooting the servers the volumes in both servers would not mount. In Disk Utility i can see the volume and the corresponding raid slices, however Disk Utility tells me they are degraded and that i should run first aid on the disk. The first aid does nothing to get the volume mounted on the servers.
If i put the lun masking settings back (slice 1 to server 4) it mounts without a problem. Is there a cache on the lun masking settings? Is it the firmware version? a downgrade and upgrade perhaps?
If anyone has encountered something similar, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello William
I did reboot the hosts. At least the 2 i'm trying to get the volume to mount. The other 3 server that also use that raid, i can't reboot them, at least not during the daytime, since they are in production.
I did reboot the raid and the hosts.

Deleting local user profile on RDS without reboot

I need to delete the local profile for a user on our RDS server, because of a problem with this user.
Since the user was using RDS a few days ago, and RDS wasn’t rebooted since, I can’t delete the local profile. When I go to advanced system settings—user
profiles. The ‘delete’ option is greyed out.
I know that I can reboot the server then will be able to delete it, but since this server is serving many users, it means they all have to stop using it.
Is there a way to delete this user’s profile without rebooting the server?
I use sever 2008 R2.
Thanks

Hi,
A local user profile is created the first time a user logs on to a computer. The profile is stored on the computer's local hard disk. Changes made to the local user
profile are specific to the user and to the computer on which the changes are made.
Windows security requires a user profile for each user account on a computer. The system automatically creates a local user profile for each user when the user logs
on to the computer for the first time. The system automatically maintains the settings for each user's work environment in a user profile on the local computer.
Windows Vista and later: User profiles are managed through the
User Accounts control (UAC) panel item.
You can open the
Control Panel and click User Accounts, then click the Change User Account Control setting, dropped to the lowest turn off UAC. Press OK.
Then you can use administrator account try again to see whether you can delete the local user profile or not.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

Payment due date was changed without notice

I received a text message on 7/9/15 advising me my bill would be due on 7/23/15 rather than 8/1/15. A text message is really not an appropriate form of notification first of all. If I'm 2 days late you charge me a late fee, yet my billing cycle can be changed without notice? I called on 7/9/15 regarding this along with many other issues I have been having with AT&T. I was told this was corrected and my bill would be due on 8/1/15. Today I recieve an email stating my bill is due on 7/23/15. I again contacted AT&T and I was told this change was never made by the agent I spoke to. I was apparently lied to.I was then told it would take up to 2 billing cycles to change it back to 8/1/15. So in short, AT&T can change my billing cycle without notice yet it takes 2 months to change it back? At the very least I would call this practice. I have been with AT&T for many years and will likely cancel once my contract is up in December.

My billing cycle had always run from teh 20th of the month to the 19th of the following month, with the bill due around the 17th. Several months back, AT&T notified me that my bill due date would be changed by up to one week. I got serveral weeks notice, and when my due date changed, my bill is now due on the 14th of the month. The billing cycle did not change, it is still the 20th to the 19th, but the due date move up by 3 days. Since my billing cycle ends on the 20th, and it had always taken 3-4 days before the bill was generated, the new due date now means it's due 3 weeks after the bill is generated.
If you look back at the details of the bill you have received (either paper or electronic) you will probably find a small section in there telling you that this change was coming. So many people don't look at their bill each month, they just look at the total and say, "yeah, that looks about right" and they pay it without looking at the details of what they are paying for. If there is an error in your bill, you only have 90 days to bring it to AT&T's attention, so it is in your best interest to look at it each month.

If I close Firefox, I can't open it again without rebooting. It says that Firefox is still running.

I have Firefox 6.0.1. I am running it on a desktop with Windows XP. I have always loved it and need it for one program I use a lot. Lately, if I close Firefox for any reason, I can't open it back up without rebooting. It says Firefox is still running. I have deleted Firefox and reinstalled it several times with the same result.

Is it possible to do DST patch without reboot on Solaris 9

Hi - I have some machines that are difficult to schedule downtime on, and am
wondering if I can manually stop/start processes that are affected by
113225-08 and 112874-33 patches so that I could apply them without rebooting.
Is this possible?
Thanks very much for the help,
Judy

The reboot ensures that all processes are restarted.
Any processes that are started before the timezone patch is installed will not see the update.
So if nothing else, I'd want to restart cron...

Is there anyway to kill the email app. without rebooting the phone?

I get emails, but I can't do anything on the screen. It is totally unresponsive to touch. In addition, my sleep button is broken, so I can't reboot the phone. (ordered new one, but not getting it for weeks). Is there anyway to kill the email application without rebooting the phone?

Thanks, I figured as much. Will I be able to save all my apps and content by importing them to my computer and then uploading them back to my iPad after I upgrade the iOS? If so, do you happen to know if a gen 1 iPad running an iOS 4.2.1 is able to upgrade to an iOS 5? I did read online that the iOS 6 is NOT compatible with it so I want to be sure the iOS 5 is before I go through the trouble...

Trying to Disable LUN Masking under 1.5.1

Hi,
I have an Apple XServe Raid with 7x750Gb drives. The array is configured with three slices which would mean three LUNs. Even though Lun Masking is no longer an option in 1.5.1 it still shows up as enabled on the XServe Raid. Non of the luns are visible to the connected host. There is no switch involved.
How can I disable Lun Masking under 1.5.1?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello nosajesahc, and welcome to the Appleboards,
Do you have a copy of the the Admin Tool version 1.5? LUN Masking was present in that version of the tool and think you should be able to turn it off and the resume using the current version.

System Preferences Changing Without User Input

I have one user who has had random system preferences change without her input.
She is a network user connecting to a Lion 10.7.5 Server via OD.
Her desktop is Lion - 10.7.4
Example: Today her setting for Security and Privacy to require a password on screen saver wake-up was changed/no longer checked.
Her setting to be able to use a right click on her mouse changed 3x last week without input.
Any ideas?

If you are asking if the user is defined more than once, the answer is no. Just one entry.

Did you first activate the new phone on her line or your line?? You would have to activate the phone on her line first and then make the switch otherwise yes, you will lose your unlimited data.

'Flush' launchd without rebooting server?

I created a daily 6am disk usage report, then moved it to 8am... but then it began running at 6am and 8am... so I unloaded the job and found the 8am job kept running, even though there's no mention of it in the 'launchd list' results!
I've used the following one-liner to print out the contents of all the loaded launchd jobs, but none of them have been overwritten by my plist, or in any other way call the script that my launchd job was created to run... very weird.
for i in `launchctl list | awk '{ print $NF }'`; do launchctl list $i ; done
I've unloaded, reloaded, and anything else I can think of at the commandline or in Lingon (launchd interface), but can't stop this job!
Is there any way to restart launchd, or flush its cache/database of jobs, without rebooting the server??

Thanks for the thought BDAqua, but cron keeps its jobs in /etc/crontab while launchd uses XML plists and each job is a seperate file.
I haven't touched cron, and cant see a way that launchctl or Lingon (both solely launchd utils) would have injected the job into cron, but I checked anyway and found it wasn't the case. cron has been deprecated in favour of launchd.
launchd is the root of all processes, so i understand if there's no mechanism for restarting it (because it would kill everything else running) but I'm hoping there's a way to get it to rescan all the plist locations like it does on boot, so it will hopefully drop the spurious job and reingest the updated plist.
