Moving Server Pool Storage/Image to another location

I have a server pool that is using an NFS mount as the 12G of cluster storage at 192.168.0.5. This server pool has 1 Oracle VM server with 2 VM guests that I simply can not loose.
I need to move that to NFS mount to another server at 192.168.0.31
I know I can simply create another server pool, but once I do that, I believe I need another Oracle VM server (which I do not have).
Or can you move the entire Oracle server along with the VMs to the other pool seemlessly?
What is the best way to go here?

This is my environment right now.
One Physical Host with a 3 TB internal SATA drive. Oracle VM server 3.0.1 installed.
Another Host with RHEL 5.5 on it where I installed Oracle VM Manager 3.0, on this RHEL 5.5 host, I also created an NFS export (192.168.0.5 with about 30G possible of space).
Created a Server Pool with cluster storage of the NFS mount above.
Discovered the OVM Server, and added it to the Server pool.
Created a repository on the 3 TB drive in that server that was detected by OVM manager. Created a few virtual disks.
Created a few VNICs.
Created 2 virtual machines using 3 different virtual disks that are attached to the one VM server. All working as expected so far.
Now I want to move the NFS cluster storage to a new host. (192.168.0.31 - that does not get rebooted as much)
Created a new server pool using the new cluster storage.
I have taken down both VM guests, and migrated them to the "unassigned Virtual Machines" folder.
The large 3TB repo, I un-presented to the Oracle VM server.
I then tried to remove the VM server from the server pool, and receive this

How Do I Move Local OneDrive Storage Folder to Another Location?

Howdy,
I've just installed the new 9926 build and wanted to sync my OneDrive data. I am using native VHD boot and so OneDrive setup wizard automatically chose the local
%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive folder as a local storage for the data obtained from OneDrive.
However, I don't want the data to be stored on my VHD drive. The OneDrive wizard didn't provide any Back button to change settings for the local storage location, so I had to use the location I've chosen.
Now how do I move the OneDrive folder to another location? Previously you could right-click OneDrive folder, chose Properties and change the location on the Location tab. Now there isn't such a tab.
Is it a step back in usability for OneDrive feature?
How do I move local OneDrive cache folder to another location?
Thank you.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

I've found out that you have to unlink OneDrive from your PC and repeat configuration steps to change the location of OneDrive folder on your PC, just like you did so in pre-Windows 8.1 builds.
Is it a new behavior and MSFT wants to get rid of Location feature in newer Windows 10 builds, or it is just a temporary issue because some parts of Windows 10 TP code are based on pre-Windows 8.1 codebase?
Thank you.

Moving layers from one image to another in tabbed windows

I don't know if it's currently possible, but I've tried every which way. But I have 8 adjustment layers I want to move from one image
to another in the tabbed window interface. Once selected, COPY LAYERS is grayed out. I tried to ALT + DRAG them to the image tab I wanted to move them to but it never focuses the tab and I cannot move the layers over.

Well if I knew the feature exists in one way or another, I wouldn't have posted it in the Feature Requests. It was because it seemed to be absent that I did.
I enjoy a tab-less experience, however I abhor how PSCS5 handles non-tabbed documents in Windows 7 taskbar. it opens a unique block for each open document you have. So if I have 20 images open as I'm slicing up a design, I have 20 Photoshop CS5 blocks at the bottom.
I don't like the Windows 7 "Taskbar Grouping" because when you click on Photoshop, it doesn't just go to Photoshop like it should, it instead opens up a menu for you to then select Photoshop (and focus it as wanted) or select an open image.
These all seem to be steps backwards...

Rollover text that changes images in another location.

I have a list of names in iWeb and I want to make it so that when you hover over a name their picture shows up on the right.
I would like all the pictures to show up in the same spot (and just change whenever the mouse is hovering over a different name)
Can anybody help me?

Just a couple more questions:
The pictures I have are variable sizes, and I've been playing with the code to try and find where the change is to allow them to appear in their respective dimensions. Should I just add an alpha layer to the images surrounding them, (so they're all the same dimensions/ratio), or is there a quick way to change the code to account for this?
And the other question is a bit of a stupid one, but I'm using the dakota handwriting font with a cream/ivory color text, and I'm not seeing in the code where to change the color of the text from blue, or what to type into the font (replacing verdana) for the dakota handwriting.
Here's kinda how I'd like the page to look:

Windows's Restoration wizard is no longer recognising the WindowsImageBackup, when moved from one external HD into another one.

Hi,
I created WindowsImageBackup a three-month period ago and saved it on an external hard disk. Then, I have moved/cut this WindowsImageBackup from the external hard disk was first saved on while created into a subfolder
on another different external hard disk. Whenever now clicked 'advanced recovery methods', then chose use ' a system image'. However, when I booted into Windows environment, I didn't see that the external drive containing image wasn't listed, although I have
clicked on 'refresh' while external drive is plugged. When clicked on the 'advance' button, then click 'located driver if the drive isn't listed' link, I could naviaged into the external hard disk, which means it is recognised by Windows and it doesn't need
a driver.
NOTE: the image is for the same OS installed on my computer.
I really want to keep many full different Windows Image Backups, then when create Windows Image Backup, I moved it into subfolder in order the next new don't delete the older one.
I was expecting that this is because while external HD containing image is plugged in the USB3 port, however, when I let it plugged in the USB2 port, the drive wasn't listed in the list
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

Thanks a lot,
NOTE: system image Disc containing(old images, WindowsImageBackup1,2,3, and so on) wasn't listed/found, and not the Restoration failed
Let me give you this scenario:
I have created a Windows image backup for OS partition(C) and Data partition(D). Second: I have saved the created image into an external hard disk
Third: When the WindowImageBackup created in the external hard disk. I tried booting into Windows environment, and the wizard found the image automatically.
Froth: I have moved the 'WidnowsImageBackup' from a partition on an external hard disk (A) into another external hard disk(B)
Fifth: I have done some changes on the OS system(such as installing programs and so on) and data partition(such as adding data and so on)
Fifty: I have decided to create a new WindowsImageBackup and save it into external disk 'B', but before that I have done, I must rename 'WidnowsImageBackup by incrementing '1' after 'WidnowsImageBackup' in order ton not be overwritten.
Sixth: I created the new 'WindowsImageBackup'
The WindowsImageBackup just created is recognised by Windows's resoration wizard because it wasn't moved. However, windowsImageBAckup1 isn't recognised because it wasn't saved here, however, it was pasted here from another location.
I would like to save many full images:
WindowsImagBackup
windowsImageBackup1
-------------------------2
-------------------------3
and so on.
However, as I said before, when booting into Windows's restoration wizard, then clicked on 'selcte an image', I didn't find any option to search for the image.
Yes, there is an option saying 'if you don't see your 'system image disc' listed in the image location, then you can pluge your disc and click on refresh. I have done but only the 'WindowsImagBackup' created on the same external disc was
found. Even those images created in same external disc, but their main folder 'WindowsImageBackup' changed into 'WindowsImageBackup1, 2, 3 and so one were not found'
If someone wants to save many full WindowsImageBackups, then how can he be doing?
NOTE: Although I have read in the Windows help support what is below, I when I have copied the older system images into another locations, they became unrecognised/found in the restoration Wizard:
Keeping different versions of system images
If you're saving your system images on an internal or external
drive, or on CDs or DVDs, you can keep several versions of system images. On
internal and external hard drives, older system images will be deleted when the
drive runs out of space. To help conserve disk space, you can manually delete
older system images. For more information, see What backup
settings should I use to maximize my disk space?
If you're saving your system images in a network location, you can
only keep the most current system image for each computer. System images are
saved in the format of drive\WindowsImageBackup\computer
name\. If you have an existing system image for a computer and are
creating a new one for the same computer, the new system image will overwrite
the existing one. If you want to keep the existing system image, you can copy it
to a different location before creating the new system image by following these
steps:
Navigate to the location of the system image.
Copy the WindowsImageBackup
folder to a new location.

Changing the Server Pool Master

I need to remove one of the servers of a three node cluster, but before I remove that node I need to remove it as the Server Pool Master and make another node the server pool master. When I go to edit a server, the check box is there, but it’s disable. How do I enable this or accomplish this switch?

It's actually pretty simple, if both the old and new Server Pool Master servers are online. First, make sure that you're not running any VMs on either the old (existing) or new (planned) Pool Master servers. You also need to be sure that all your VMs are either Powered Off or Running, i.e. none being migrated or suspended.
Then, here are the steps:
1. Go to the Servers tab and delete the NEW Pool Master from the pool.
2. Edit the EXISTING Pool Master and replace it's details with those of the NEW Pool Master, i.e. IP Address/Hostname. If the new pool master is also a utility server, you must ensure that you select that option in the Edit screen.
3. Click OK
4. Click the Server Pool tab and select your server pool. Then click the Restore button to update the status of all your servers/VMs in the pool.
5. Manually restart the agent on the NEW Pool Master. Login to the Dom0 of the new pool master and run:
# service ovs-agent stop
# service ovs-agent start
You now have the new Server Pool Master running and the old one has actually been removed from the pool. You can add it back as a normal server using the default process in the GUI.
I know there are guys inside Oracle working on an official whitepaper on Reassigning the Server Pool Master role in situations where the old/new servers are not online, so you should keep a look out on the Virtualization OTN site.

Set Server Pool Master to Maintenance Mode

Hi all,
when trying to set a server pool master to maintenance, I got this: "OVM-2020 Server pool master (vm-13) can not be set to maintenance mode, please use server pool master failover policy to change its role, then try again."
I have dug through the help and docs, but can not find a method for dynamically reassigning the server pool master role.
This document: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15441/server.htm#CCHIEBCE , just says "You must first reassign the Server Pool Master role to another server in the server pool.", without describing how.
This document: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15458_01/doc.22/e15441/site.htm#insertedID4 , states "You can also dynamically change the Oracle VM Server which acts as the Server Pool Master without causing any outages. See Section 3.4.1, "Editing Server Pool".", which just links back to the same section I am already in.
Now, I can just migrate all my machines and then stop ovs-agent, but I am not always the one managing this, and having a nice way through the web interface would be great.
Please just tell me I am blind and point me to the section in the manuals which tells me how to do it, or is this a feature which got dropped before release?
Thanks.

I have got the same problem, I want to switch the role of the server pool master to another server in the same pool. But after reading these answers, I have absolutly no clue how to do it!
We have a productiv environment, so any ideas like shutting down or stopping VMs are not acceptable.
So here is the situation:
"ovs#1" is hosting all VMs at the moment - Server type: Utility Server,Virtual Machine Server
"ovs#2" is free of any VMs - Server type: Server Pool Master,Utility Server,Virtual Machine Server
I want to switch the Server Pool Master from "ovs#2" to "ovs#1" without any downtime. How does this work? Thanks!

Moving shared storage repository between server pools

Is there a way to move a fiberchannel storage repository between server pools? The documentation says its possible only with NFS, but we are moving to new server pool and for this we need to be able to take a loaded SR and remove it from one server pool and discover and use it on another pool?

Exactly how are you trying to do this. Are you choosing to clone and then running the clone customizer to map your storage and vnics?

is there any thing do i have to do to make it work ??Check to see if the physical disk appears under the default volume group for your san. If not, refresh the san and wait until it does. Also, make sure you have an admin server configured for that san and that your Oracle VM servers are in the default access group.

Represent existing Storage Repository to new server pool?

I have a testing delima.. We have a block-storage SR that was in use on Server Pool A, but want to move it to Server Pool B. I dont see any way in the GUI to facilitate moving a SR (OCFS2) to a new Server pool.
I know I can probably destroy, delete, unpresent and rebuild an empty SR on the new server pool but I dont see why moving it wouldnt be an option
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dave

Forgot to clarify, we already represented the block storage to the new servers in Pool B, and they see them just fine.. The GUI simply doesnt show the new servers in Pool B in the "present storage repo" dialog.

Unable to create server pool, cant locate server pool file system

Hi,
While creating a server pool, I'm unable to select a physical disk for the server pool file system. I have a Fiber channel 20 GB LUN presented to 2 hosts and on both, the disks are seen. However when creating the server pool, no physical disks show up under "location", not even the local storage. Are there any logs that I can check to see whats going on?
Thanks

I was able to "resolve" this. I unassigned the LUNs, deleted them on the array and represented new LUNs and that worked. Looks like if there is an existing file system on the LUN, it will not create a repository. Only wish there was a warning message to indicate the same

Server Pool Master fails and cannot fail over to another VM Server

Dear All,
Oracle VM 2.2.2
I have 2 VM Servers connect to Storage 6140 Array and on VM Manager I enable HA on the server pool, then on all virtual machines.
- VM Server 1 has role as Server Pool Master, Utility Server, Virtual Machine Server and has virtual machines running
- VM Server 2 has role as Utility Server, Virtual Machine Server and has virtual machines running.
I try to shutdown the VM Server 1 act as Server Pool Master but I don't see Server Pool Master fail over to another VM Server 2 and also status become to Unreachable both of 2 Servers.
Especially, All virtual machines cannot be accessible.
Please kindly give advice for this.
Thanks and regards,
Heng

Thanks Avi, I'll find and read that document. And thanks also for elaborating about the Utility Server.
After reading the followups to my original question, I tried to think of possible server "layouts" in a HA environment.
1) "N" servers in the pool, one of them is Pool Master, Utility Server AND VM Guests Server at the same time. Maybe this will be the preferred server for smaller, quicker VMs.
2) "N" servers in the pool, one is Pool Master AND Utility Server, but has no VM guests running on it
3) "N" servers in the pool, one is the Pool Master, another one is the Utility Server (none of them has VMs running on them), and finally a number of VM Guest servers
Let's take case 1. If the Pool Master & Utility server fails, given that it has VM guests running on it as well, I understand from your explanation that I'll be ANYWAY able to manually "live migrate" the guests somewhere else, using VM Manager. Is this correct?
If it's correct, then it's just a question of how much money I want to spend to have dedicated servers for different tasks, JUST FOR BETTER PERFORMANCES REASONS. Do you agree? And especially: do YOU have dedicated Pool Masters (just to figure out your "real" approach to the problem :-) )
I feel that I still miss something, the picture is not completely clear to me. The fact is, that I'm now testing on my new bladesystem, but for now I put up one single blade. Testing HA will be the next step. I was just trying to get a few things sorted out in advance, but there is still something that I'm missing, as I was saying...
Looking forward to your next reply, thanx again

Trying p2v import of virtual machine image, server pool not chooseable

I'm trying to import a virtual machine image via p2v from an OEL 5 bare metal image. I go to resources, virtual machine images, Import, choose p2v, and then on the General Information page, it asks for Server Pool Name. The name of my one and only server pool is not in the dropdown. The dropdown only contains "Select Server Pool". I tried to fill in the rest and hit Next but it failed me on the Server Pool name.
How can I get the server pool name to show up in that dropdown?
There is one server pool, one server, and one vm already on that server.
thanks,
Peter

It's a bug, I had the same problem. I used this and it worked (copying and pasting from an old thread with the solution):
Workaround:
VM Manager -> Server Pools -> Select Server Pool Name -> EDIT -> Check the box of “Enable High Availability” -> Apply -> Ignore the “Shared storage is not mounted, or the file system is invalid. The file system should be OCFS2 or NFS.” error message. Leave unchecked the box of ”Enable High Availability” -> Apply again:
“The server pool updated successfully.”
Now you can retry the import.

This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation. Please choose another Location

Hi all, I installed microsoft sharepoint designer 2010. It was working perfectly up until yesterday when I create a new site, it gave me an error that said " This web site must be created on a server that is running Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation.
Please choose another Location " Now I can't create any sharepoint site and it freaks me out. I tried repairing, unistalling and reinstalling but still i get the same message.

You have to have SharePoint 2010, either SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010, installed somewhere in order to be able to create SharePoint sites with SharePoint Designer 2010. SharePoint Designer 2010 is a client-side product, which is usually
installed on end user machines and then used to connect to a server-side edition of SharePoint 2010 (either of the two I mentioned above) to modify the SharePoint sites hosted on that server-side product.
It is possible to install SharePoint Foundation 2010 on a client operating system (Windows 7), but it is much more likely that a production environment will involve installing SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 on a server operating system
(Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2) on a central server that can be accessed by multiple users.
If you are looking to do testing, you can either install Foundation on Windows 7, or use a virtualization product such as Hyper-V, VMware Workstation, Virtual Box, to name a few, to build a virtual server hosting SharePoint.
You aren't going to be able to create SharePoint sites with SPD until you have SharePoint Foundation 2010 or SharePoint Server 2010 somewhere for it to connect to, sorry.

Loader will load images from another server, but then we get error on Bitmap operation

I'm developing an app that currently is using Loader to get images from another server. This shouldn't currently work since we are still waiting for the owner of that server to put a crossdomain file in place. However, it does work -- sort of .
Loader can load the images fine, without an error. But then the app has a feature in which we are making a larger duplicate of the image to display in a sidebar, we do this in this manner:
var myBitmap:Bitmap = Bitmap(loader.content);
and when this runs we get a Flash player security error 2122, sandbox violation.
So while I'm hoping all this will fix itself when the crossdomain.xml file is put in place, I'm confused as to why we only get the sandbox error when we make a Bitmap from the image, and not when we initially try to retrieve the image.
(Incidentally: is there a better way to make a "copy" of an image loaded by a Loader, and then change its width and height for simultaneous display in another part of the stage? I don't need to change its actual dimensions -- I just need to change its display width and height.)
Thanks!

The sandbox allows viewing, not editing from another server without a crossdomain.
So, when you try to load it up, it loads it, but "read-only" and gives you an error when you try to "edit" it by making a new Bitmap out of it.
This should resolve itself once that crossdomain is in place.
||EDIT||
I just realized I should clarify my statement a little more.
When you load images from another server without a crossdomain, it allows the load for display only. When you try to load data, it will fail. This is because, XML data, or some other type of data is editable by default, and images are only viewable by default. So, the image fails when you try to convert it into an editable form.
