Moving the mailbox database copy from one exchange server to another exchange server 2010 DAG

Hello Team
is it possible to the move the passive copy of database and logs from one server to another exchange server in the same DAG with out removing and deleting the mailbox database copies in exchange 2010
normaly procedure is
Remove the mailbox database copies and manually delete the .edb files and logs from the physical location and re-add the mailbox database copy to the new server in the DAG.
is that any way to achieve to move the passive database copy to another exchange 2010 server in the same DAG ?

From your note, you appear to have a two-member DAG (with a server hosting your active database, and a second hosting the passive copy), and you want to move your passive database copy from the current passive server to another. Your note
about what "the normal procedure is" isn't 100% correct - there are many ways to handle this task, and all can be considered "normal". Why not just add the third server to the DAG and
add a database copy on that third server? Once it is fully seeded, you can remove the current passive copy. This way, you never lose your redundancy.
Yes i can add the third and fourth serve in DAG , but i cannot add the mailbox database copies to the 3rd and 4th mailbox server in DAG as am using RTM version of exchange 2010 which is allowing to have only 5 database inclding mailbox datbase copies
and also currently my lab setup is two member dag (with a server hosting your active database,
and a second hosting the passive copy) in the same site named SITE A
and recently i have created new SITE B and included the 3rd and 4th DAG members in the same DAG
i want the mailbox database copies from the mailbox server database in SITE A to
Mailbox server database in SITE B as passive copy
That is why i want to move the mailbox database without deleting / removing it manually
Hope you understand my situation!

Moving the Individual Protection group from one SAN Volume to another SAN Volume

Hi Professionals
Dudes !!! There is no much information about migratedatasourcedatafromdpm.ps1
script on the technet. My question is that I need to move Individual Protection group in an orderly manner from one SAN Storage to Another. I have more than 30 protection groups. I want to move individually 2 to 3 protection groups at one time from
Old SAN Storage to New SAN storage. Is it possible that I mention protection group individually and move each protection group bit-by-bit to the new SAN Storage.

Hi,
you can use this GUI Option, to move a whole Disk.
in the next Version, hopefully published this Week, you can select a whole Protectiongroup to move

Remove mailbox database copy from DAG

Hi There,
We would like to remove the mailbox database copy from our exchange server as we are lack of the space on our fixed vhd and we hope to be able to free about 100GB from the passive database copies as we have deployed DAG. is there any guidelines or procedures
to safely remove the database copies? currently, we have 4 mailbox servers, HQMB01, HQMB02, SSMB01, and SSMB02. HQMB01 and HQMB02 is already part of DAG members by itself. however, on ssmb01 and ssmb02, we also add in HQMB01 and HQMB02 as the DAG member,
thus they can fail over to HQMB01 or HQMB02 if their server have issue. in this situation, SSMB01 and SSMB02 passive copies is also inside our HQMB01 and HQMB02. As the our HQMB01 and HQMB02 is lack of the disk space and we would like to remove SSMB01
and SSMB02 from the DAG, thus we could remove the passive database copies. The following is the picture of the activation preference for all servers. what is the procedures and the guidelines to remove mailbox database copy and also remove the server from
the DAG members? we are quite confuse and worry that after we are removing wrongly and cause the active database to lost as we understand that there is replication happening between them. as we have 4 mailbox servers from which server we should perform
the task? Wish to get some advises from the exchange guru from this forum. we are on exchange server 2010 sp1 and windows server 2008 R2.Thanks so much.

Hi Exchange Guru,
thanks so much for the prompt response..i have few queries to ask following your guidelines above:
1. from the show result above, I am still confuse which server that I should go to remove as this is involving 4 database copies. from what I understand from the truncation or replay lag times of SSDB01 and SSDB02, I can see that HQMB01 and HQMB02 are on
the third and fourth preference, which means that SSDB01 and SSDB02 will be able to failover to each of them when there is a failure and it cause the passive copies of both of SSDB01 and SSDB02 to be stored in the HQMB01 and HQMB02. what my purpose
is to remove both SSDB01 and SSDB02 passive copies in HQMB01 and HQMB02. in this case, should I login to SSDB01 or SSDB02 mailbox servers to perform the removal with your guidelines above?
2. is the command as below:
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB01HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB01 -Confirm:$False
Remove-MailboxDatabaseCopy -Identity SSDB02\HQMB02 -Confirm:$False
will this cause the risk either of my HQDB01, HQDB02, SSDB01, and SSDB02 active copies accidentally being removed? I am sorry that I am a bit naggy and always want a confirmation as this is very critical and I must be super careful.
3. If after the removal successful, when is the best time to go to the drive where the passive copies stored and remove them so I can clear some space on my disk? and is it just as simple by going to the drive and do a folder file deletion manually?
because I just worry when I delete the file and the server is still replicating between each other, which will cause even corruption to the active database.
4. From point 3, you mention about when the server is empty. what do you mean by that? do you mean that when the passive copies are no more there? and what command that I used to check?
5. From point 4, is removing the server from DAG the last step to be performed? yes, I want to remove them from DAG, thus will left only HQMB01 and HQMB02 as one DAG and SSMB01 and SSMB02 as one DAG.
Thank so so much for your patient and attention.
Regards,
Henry

HT4614 Can I use Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable to copy from one macbook air to another?

Can I use Thunderbolt cable to copy from one Macbook Air to another Macbook Air?

Of course, but you will have to start one of the Macs into Target Disk Mode, pressing T key while the Mac is starting with the Thunderbolt cable connected, so the MacBook Air in Target Disk Mode will appear on the Finder sidebar of the other Mac as an external disk, so you can copy and transfer files from and to it

Move database files from one ASM diskgroup to another

We are working on 11.2.0.3 RAC environment. We have an activity in which we have to move ASM database files from one diskgroup to another. We have the sufficient downtime for the activity. On checking MOS it says copying datafiles from "rman copy" command is the preferred method.But with 11g R2 we can use cp command in ASMCMD.
So which is the preferred method to copy asm database files and why:
RMAN Copy command or ASMCMD cp command

Hi,
I normally prefer to go with RMAN than the ASMCMD cp command. Suppose the datafiles are OMF and you use RMAN to copy:
1. offline the datafile
2. RMAN>copy datafile <offline-datafile-on-old-DG> to +NEW-DG;
3. At database level, rename the old datafile to the new name reported from the above command
4. Switch the new datafile to copy
5. Recover the new datafileHere, RMAN assigns automatically a unique name for the new datafile (OMF) and you only have to specify the new diskgroup name while using the COPY command which makes things easier. But say if you are using ASMCMD, then you cannot just specify the new diskgroup name for the CP command, which means that a unique name cannot be obtained automatically.
The below command does not work out.
asmcmd>cp OLD_DG/datafile/abc.123 NEW_DGYou need to specify the destination name as well something like below:
asmcmd>cp OLD_DG/datafile/abc.123 NEW_DG/abc.dbfHere you are getting a normal file and not OMF, though ASM internally creates a link for the file "+NEW_DG/abc.dbf" pointing to an OMF. ASMCMD makes you a bit more confusive.

Can I and How do I copy from one iWeb site to another.

I currently have a few different versions of my web site stored as different doman.sites I would like to copy a blog entry from one into another. Is it possible to do that and if so how. I am sure I could copy all the text and all the pictures separtly and then paste them in, but that would be tendious as I would either have to keep opening and closing iWeb between the different versions or have them both open on separte accounts on my computer and keep jumping back and forth between them. Any suggestions? Let me know.

what exactly would I copy from one folder to another to be sure that the blog entry that I am copying shows up in the blog menu? I would like to be able to copy everything together, dates, links at the bottom, hit counter and all, rather than piece by piece off of the site or from another iWeb account. Thanks!

-36 I/O Error copying from one external drive to another? Ugh...help?!?

Hardware:
Apple Powermac Dual 2.5 GHz G5
512 MB RAM
External Drive 1: LaCie 250 GB (Firewire 800) (contains 150 GB data) (formatted MacOS Extended)
External Drive 2: LaCie 400 GB (Firewire 800) (contains NO DATA) (formatted MacOS Extended Journaled)
Software:
Mac OS 10.4.3 (Tiger)
I've sucessfully run the firmware updater (http://www.lacie.com/support/drivers) "LaCie Update Tool v1.3.3" for both LaCie drives to the latest version - 107.
Background:
Before I updated to the latest firmware and before I changed Drive 2 to journaled, I had problems copying files from both drives to the other. I get this error: "The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "filename here.ext" could not be read or written. (Error code -36)."
I did some research (http://www.appleerrorcodes.com/) to discover that Error -36 is an I/O error.
My goal is to reformat Drive 1 (250GB) to journaled. After some reading, I have decided to do that for both of my external drives.
Question:
I'm at the point now where I need to copy the data from Drive 1 to Drive 2 and this error is still occuring. I need to 1) understand why it's happening and 2) find a solution so I can copy this data from Drive 1 to Drive 2.
Future Question:
Once the data is copied, I will then reformat to journaled. I'm then going to decide between scheduled backups or setting up a RAID, but I'll post this issue as a separate question. I first need to understand and fix this copy I/O stuff.
THANKS!
Dual 2.5 GHz G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Using the Disk Utility with the Mac OS, I just realized that I can't verify or repair disk permissions on either of these external LaCie drives. I can on my startup internal disk, but not the external ones. Any idea why?
I replaced the FW800 cables, but I still cannot copy from one external to the other. The connections are like this:
Drive 1 (250 GB) is connected to the back of my G5 via FW800.
Drive 2 (400GB) is connected to Drive 1 via FW800 cable.
I'm in need of some help!

Copying from one iphoto library to another/working with multiple libraries

hi-
my current workflow involves having a 'master library' on one of my external HDs where i store ALL of my images (35,000+) and a 'working library' in my macbook pro where i dump most recent pics first. typically i dump to the working library & then about every 3 months, i burn those events onto disc(s) from within iphoto, open my master library and copy from the disc into the master library. then i will seasonally clear the working library out other than a few portfolio items i may want to keep there.
in the past, when i copied onto the disc and then into the master library, the event names and ratings would copy over too (although if i'd keyworded them, that would get screwed up, so i stopped). now it's not working! the correct event names and ratings show up on the disc, but they are not copying into the master library. i believe this is since i upgraded to ilife 09.
any ideas? it is essential to my current workflow to preserve those event names and ratings. i turned 'autosplit' off in preferences. i tried turning it on. anyone else have experience working with more than one library like this?

thanks larry, i'll check it out and let you know if that solves it. should the free version be sufficient? looks like this could be a really big help if it actually works, cuz i would like to create a 3rd and 4th library for other purposes but not if it's just going to make things more of a pain for me.
i assume this should help with the keyword issue i was having before too? (if i keyworded pics in my working library, the keywords on those pics once copied to the master library would be wrong, it would apply other keywords sometimes, most of the time...)
i appreciate your help.

Error copying from one external drive to another

Hi - I am trying to transfer three large iMovie files from an external Firewire hard drive to an external USB 2.0 hard drive. I have the USB drive connected to my 1GHz TiBook through a PCMCIA card. I have the Firewire drive connected at the TiBook's Firewire port. When I try to copy the files, I get about 1/4th of the way through and then I get the following error message:
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured. (Error code -1309)."
The three files are about 25GB each, and the problem happens with all of them. I tried copying them altogether and each one individually. I also tried connecting the Firewire drive to the Firewire port on the PCMCIA card. Same problem no matter what I try. I also tried copying my iTunes music folder, which is about 25GB as well, in case file size was an issue. That copied with no problem.
This is driving me nuts. Why won't these particular files copy? What is "error code -1309"? How can I resolve this issue? Any ideas?

I have not yet been able to figure out what the problem is. I have checked the iMovie and other forums, both here and elsewhere on the Web, and I have not come across a single post that relates to this problem. The files I have been trying to copy are still on the external drive, and I have used the drive to store and transfer other files to and from my TiBook with no problems. But those three iMovie files, which will open and play from the external drive, STILL won't copy back onto my hard drive.
The one thought I had involved disk space: Maybe a significant amount (30GB or more) of free space needs to be on the target drive when copying such large files. When I get to a point where I can delete some of the larger files I have been tinkering with, I'll try again.
In the meantime, any insight from anybody into this issue will still be appreciated.

BD52 Change Document Items - How to copy from one message type to another

Hi,
I have created a new messaget type for idoc MATMAS03, and has to implement change pointers for the new message type.
I will use the same fields to trigger the change as is used for message type MATMAS. My problem is that it will be a really tiresome work to manually add all the fields in BD52 (605 entries).
Is there any way that I can copy the entries from message type MATMAS to my new message type ?

Hi Barbara, I can't explain this but it seems to be working now, even with the Tiff format. I'm doing exactly what I was doing before - selecting an area on the photo, then pressing edit - copy. Before I was getting an error message, but now I can copy the selection into another Tiff. I must be doing something different or I must have changed a setting - I have no idea what, but the problem seems to have gone away. If only every problem was that simple!
The upshot is I can now edit in both Tiff and PSD and am really delighted with the help I received from this forum. I know they were very basic questions, but sometimes those are the hardest to answer.
Many thanks to everyone who responded, John

I want to move all my email data over the past several years from one yahoo account to another. I am told that I can use Thunderbird to copy and paste . How?

I wish to close down one email account but have no time to indivuidaully send emails out piecemeal to my newly set-up email address/account.
I want to keep the same InBox and Sent data columns as I have always had with dates associated with each email.
I was told that setting up Thunderbird to deal with emailing can facilitate this copying and pasting between two accounts.
Once done I wish to close my first email account ( its unfortuneately contractually linked to my old iphone 4 and I have changed cell phone companies so I am still keeping that account alive while I sort out how to move my data out into my new email account) and stick to using the new account.
Both are yahoo.co.jp email accounts. Yes, I live in Japan.
The Thunderbird program seems to have accessed and stored all of my email data . It did so quickly.
Please advise what to do next.
Thanks
JW

He will run into a problem when he wants to use his own account. Some apps will have been purchased on one Apple ID and other apps will have been purchased on a different Apple ID. That's a nuisance situation when the apps need updating and, unfortunately, there is no resolution at the present time (IDs can not be combined).

Error message while Copying from one External HD to another

Hi all, I am trying to copy my music library to a new external HD from my old one, they are the same drive but one is bigger. My collection is about 300 gb. When I go to copy it it will get a few gigs into the transfer then an error saiy, "-36 error some of the data in a particular file cannot be read or written.
I thought I may have corrupt files so I tried to play the track in itunes, the track crashed about 15 sec in and made itunes frreeze. So I deleted it. I continued to do this for each track that had issues, but It seems like its going to be a long time.
I also got the error message for one track that played perfectly in itunes, so now i dont know what the problem is.
Does anyone know of a program I can use to determine if tracks are corrupt? Or a solution to this issue?
I also went into disk utility and it says both drives are working OK.
I would aprreciate any help, thanks

Use Get Info on both the volumes in question - assuming neither are your system or time machine disks. If there is an option for ignoring ownership - way at the bottom of the Get Info window - select it to cause ownership to be ignored. Try copy again.
I am about 100% sure this might possibly perhaps kind of hopefully help. But it wont hurt either... and I am also assuming you have used disk utility to repair both disks. And if one is a new drive... go ahead and reformat it first.
