Need some info for interview,

Hi,
Could someone please answer this, as i have to prepare for an interview.
Q) List several ways (at least 3) to gather the following information from RHEL5.x server (minimal terminal packages installed no graphics utilities):
1) Free memory available
2) Number of luns
3) Set the hostname of the system
4) How many tcp network connections are in use and by whom
Q)“What possible issues or challenges could arise in a Linux Oracle RAC environment using NIS based lookup? Give an example related to ASM devices”
Hoping for a quick reply
Thank You,

It does not test knowledge - as you yourself has just now proved by this thread. Knowing what commands can be used does not mean you will know when to use these commands and how to interpret the data supplied by them.
Technical answers like these can often be answered directly from the manual. And that is the exact purpose of a manual - containing such technical details. Why? Because it is impossible to remember all details for commands and software products being used.
What is important is knowing the technical concepts, fundamentals and architecture. Knowing how to analyse a problem, break it down into technical components/layers and troubelshoot these.. and which and what manuals to use to get the technical details as and when required.
Take for example the question of the number of LUNs. Which LUNs? ASM? OCFS? Raw?
And why is the number important? Is this looking at devices at SCSI level? This can then include local drives too. Looking at multipath devices instead? A a single storage device can be partitioned and used as multiple LUNs (e.g. partition 1 as a OCR disk, partition 2 as an OCFS disk, and the remaining partition 3 as an ASM disk). Thus WHAT is the requirement or problem that needs to be addressed by knowing "the number of LUNs"?
The technical question as you list above are meaningless and useless in an interview. If you are asked such questions in an interview, I would have grave concerns about working in that environment as it is a sign that the actual technical components of that environment is not understood in the slightest bit. Nor the type of person required to maintain, support and develop in it...
It means the interviewer is clueless and working from a so-called technical checklist of questions.. and will be incapable of understanding real technical answers as all he/she has is the pat answer for that checklist question.

  • I need some parts for my MuVo V100, can anyone help?

    I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help I couldn't find any thread this would belong in, but if I've made a mistake, I'm sorry.
    I have a Creative Labs MuVo V00 2 gig player. I love it. The only problem is that the back peice of plastic that holds the battery in somehow has fallen off and has disappeared. I really, really, would like to replace it, but I can't find anywhere where parts like this are sold.
    So, does anyone know where I can buy this part Or does anyone have one they are willing to sell me If I have to get the whole little "docking bay" that holds the batery and the unit, that would be fine too. I'm not going to pay huge money for it, seeing that I can still get a new one at a few places, but if anyone has one that broke, or that they just aren't using, and wouldn't mind making a few bucks + postage, I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks for your time.

    Re: I need some parts for my MuVo V00, can anyone help As far as I'm concerned the subject is closed. I was just irritated that I asked for help, and got some glib little reply, telling me something that anyone who's been on the internet for more than ten seconds should know about. Because to be honest, him replying with those three words, might have made someone overlook the post, thinking, "Someone is handling that, let's move on." Someone who actually might have what I needed.
    But, as it turns out, I could order a reconditioned MuVo from Creative directly for about 6 bucks. (vs. 45+ if I'd gone through ebay) so the problem is resolved. If I could figure out a way to erase this entire post, I would do it. If you can do so, being a mod, I would appreciate it.
    Sorry if I upset you Loi-CL, I understand you're a moderator, but I don't take kindly to being treated like I'm stupid and that's exactly what coachop94 was doing. If he didn't have anything important or useful to tell me, he could have just skipped over my post.

  • Need some info on general question

    Hello everybody!
    This question for those who already works as a Java professional. I just don't have a clear picture of how can you apply java programming language in real working environment, in theory I can imagine, but I need a solid understanding so that I would spend all the time moving in right direction. Do they use Java for writing some applications for some, let's say, financial institutions. I can write simple application which will connect to some RDBMS (SQLServer,Oracle, whatever you have) and perform extracting, changing, deleting information, but I can do all this stuff only on my user computer, I am just college student. How do you implement this in real environment, do you have first to install Java Runtime Environment on all user computers and install those java applications which will be working with database? What about middle-tier concept, what this all about? I happend to have interview in one company but I failed to answer on middle-tier topic. As I understand it's better to change some procedure in one place than changing apps on all user computers, how you deal whith this, this is so far not clear for me. I have never seen how users launch their apps in financial institutions (exe. files - popular question on this forum), how does this system works, or may be they use for this purpose different language like C++. What about internet, they say java was created whith internet in mind... Oh my god, I have so many questions on how you can use Java in real world, not just for fun. Hope somebody can explain it to me in plain English.
    Thanks in advance.

    Here is a real world example (its a project I've been working on for about a year).
    Its a 3-tier client server system. This means there are 3 parts of the system:
    1. SQL Server database on a remote server
    2. Middleware java application running on the server
    3. psion netBook clients (handheld devices) running a Java application
    The actual system itself is used for remotely capturing dental information on the netBooks. At the end of the day the user can dial-up to the server where the database resides and update the database with info captured on the netBook. The user can also download a group of patients from the server to the netBook client.
    The purpose of having a middle tier (or middleware), is so that any server-side changes will not impact on the client side, and vice versa (at least thats always been my understanding).
    To create this architecture I used the JDBC API (for database processing, middle tier), and the RMI API (for networking, middle tier and client tier). Alternatively I could have used CORBA instead of RMI.
    I beleive (although I'm no expert on this), that servlets can be used to create a similar kind of thing through a web interface (i.e. a database on the web server can be updated through a web page). Hopefully someone can confirm this for you.
    And of course there are applets, that are simply java appications running on a web browser.
    I would imagine that the majority of industry work done in Java is with client server apps either with servlets (web) or a backend on a server somewhere.
    If anyone would like to correct me please do...think I've got most of this right.

  • I Need some info about interfacing the PC or laptop to Spectrum analyzer using Labview

    we need to control  the spectrum analyzer using an interface   that will    be   developed  using  Labview  .
    Spectrum analyzer will be connected to tha PC using RS 232C and the waveform observed will be seen in the PC interface of spectrum analyzer.
    Pls send some info regarding dis.

    Using a spectrum analyzer with LabVIEW is a pretty common application, my first program 15 years ago did this. What we need to know to help you though is what model spectrum analyzer are you planning on using? Most of the ones I'm familiar with use the GPIB interface rather than RS232, but that isn't a major issue, the spectrum analyzers command set is the important one. There are a lot of LabVIEW drivers available for a larger number of analyzers, here on the National Instruments' site. Although most use the GPIB interface (or ethernet), they can be used as a starting point to develop an RS232 driver if one isn't available, assuming that there is a driver for the model that you have, or a closely related one (manufacturers frequently use similar command sets within a model type).
    So, what type analyzer are you using, and what types of things are you planning on doing with it?

  • Satellite Pro A10 - need some info about RAM upgrade

    Dear Fourm members
    In regard to the above machine : please can anyone advise :- how many memory slots does it have.
    I think it is two but am not sure.
    Also what max size memory module can we have in this laptop please.
    If it is 2 @ 1gb per module, then we would have a total of 2gb.
    Is the hard drive on this machine a standard laptop hard drive. Can I take the small 20gb one out and replace it with a larger one. eg 120 gb etc
    Thank you so much for your help.
    Ian

    On satellite Pro A10 two memory slots are available. Notebook can handle with 1 GB RAM and you can use two compatible PC2100 512MB (PA3164U-1M51) modules.
    This old machine uses 2,5 HDD with old IDE connector. I found some info that it was delivered with 20GB, 30GB and 40GB HDDs. I think you can upgrade it with HDD up to 100 GB but just be sure it has the same HDD connector.
    If you have more questions you are welcome.
    For more info post exact model number please.

  • Need some info on BI CONT 7.x

    Hi,
    I need some clarification on BI Content ADD ON 7.x.
    Though new versions are getting released day by day with good new add on modules, but do we have BI Content which has complete DTP's and Transformations for Logistics and FI module.
    I hope it might be confusing, i will come some other way around.
    with bi content 3.5 whenever we activate a cube/ODS using business content in RSA1 by taking in dataflow before it will activate cube/ods, update rules/infosource etc.., in the same way if i activate LO or FI modules cubes or DSO using BI content 7.x can i get Transformation,DTP's get activated.
    for your information till now i have not used Bi content 7.x.
    I could gain some knowledge from your end.
    thanks
    Prashanth.

    The business content is still not in 7.0 dataflow. So you need to install the 3.x objects and migrate them to 7.0 And as far as the 7.x infosources, if you want u may install them and use for the transformations (while converting the transfer rules). Anyway the system wil prompt you to use a existing 7.0 infsource or conver the existing 3.x infosource. And infosource is not mandatory as of 7.0 dataflow.
    Thanks.

    Don't know if this is what you're searching for, and I don't know if there is such a function in LV 8.6, but I'm using LV 2010 and under DAQmx Pallete, you go to "Advanced Task Options", there is a function "Configure Output Buffer", in which you can configure the buffer size you want.

    The best tool to add this kind of particle is After Effects.
    If you have the Creative Cloud then I recommend you download that.
    Slightly annoying voice over, but here is a youtube tutorial you can follow top make floating particals. You can adjust it to make it look exactly as you want.
