Node Majority DAG, How to recover when quorum is lost
Hi
I have EXchange 2013 SP1 DAG, Node Majority where 2 MBX servers in the primary site and 1 MBX server in the DR Site. If there is a simultaneous loss of the 2 MBX servers in the primary site as in a power failure, then quorum will be lost.
How can I recover operations using the MBX Server in DR?????
jk
Hi ,
Agree with Pavan.
Datacenter switchover is the only option.If there is simultaneous failure happened on all the nodes in the primary site or else an primary datacenter failure then there wouldn't be an enough time for the cluster to recalculate and adjust the quorum.So the only
way is to do an datacenter switchover.
Reference link for datacenter Switchover :
http://smtpport25.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/exchange-2010-dag-local-and-site-drfailover-and-fail-back/
Above mentioned article is for exchange 2010 even though the steps defined on that article is same for exchange 2013.
Reference kink for Dynamic quorum :
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/high-availability-recovery/exchange-2013-dag-dynamic-quorum-part2.html
Please reply me if anything is not clear.

Hi,
Assuming below setup for Enterprise edition Lync 2013
Single Pool Stretched architecture with 4 FES servers
Site A Data Center
Site B Data Center
FES
2
2
SQL
1 Primary
1 Mirror
Fact: In a situation when we lose network connectivity to Site A DC, and due to less than 50% FES servers, Quorum will be lost and as a result Front End Service will stop after 5 minutes.
The question is, would I be able to do a manual intervention by using this command
Reset-CsPoolRegistrarState –PoolFqdn <pool name fqdn> –ResetType QuorumLossRecovery , and start FES with just 2 FES servers in Site B DC and 1 SQL
Server?
The reason I am asking this question is because it is mentioned in one of the Lync manuals that at least 85% of the servers must be available to recover once the Quorum has lost. The same manual also mentions to use above
mentioned command in order to recover from Quorum Loss despite the fact that the lost FES servers are still not available.
Thanks in AdvanceHi,
In Lync server 2013 Stretched pools are not supported for the Front End, Edge, Mediation, and Director server roles. It need two Lync pools.
If one pool fail to connect, An administrator can declare an emergency and fail over the pool to the backup pool. That is done by using the:
Invoke-CsPoolFailover –PoolFQDN <Pool fqdn> –DisasterMode –Verbose

Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes. I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them. BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory...... Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipodLook, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful. -
How to recover when internet disconnected during update
Hi,
I am using jws from the command line to update my application during startup. I have set the jnlp file to allow offline mode.
I am having trouble in the situation where during an update, the internet becomes disconnected. This is causing jws to inform me that I have an "Application Error". The specifics of this being:
com.sun.deploy.net.FailedDownloadException: Unable to load resource: http://milton.signage-central.com/jws/lib/foo.jar
at com.sun.deploy.net.DownloadEngine.actionDownload(Unknown Source)

at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source)
at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)
Is there a way in which I can recover from this exception. The assumption being that the application at this point has already been installed and exists in the cache. In the ideal case, I'd like to simply catch the exception, and restart jws with no internet connection, thus forcing to start in offline mode.
Thanks,
ImranHi Luca-Sanna,
Thanks for your response.
If this is not possible within my application code, what measure/configuration should I do on the JWS from to try and ensure that if it fails during download, that JWS will revert to a cached version of the applicaiton.
When you say it "wraps in a whole world of different problems", what do u mean by that?
Thanks,
Imran -
How to recover when Delta Queues have been emptied by error ?
Hi All,
Here is our problem : the ECC Delta Qs have been emptied by error some days ago, and for the moment we have frozen every BW updates from ECC, but the Delta Queues have been being filled in ECC since that.
We have so smart ideas so far...
Thx 2 all in advanceHello ThoLei ,
In case your normal delta is running file in BW and the only thing you are concerned about is the data missed during the day when the queue got deleted, then yes you can go ahead with Repair Full option. If you refresh the missing data and no need to worry about delta.

How to recover datafile.when control file auto backup is off
hi friend
i took hot backup of my database using following command
rman>backup database;
in my case controlfile auto backup is off.
and i have lost my all controlfiles as well as datafiles except spfile.
i have recovered control file using dbms_backup_restore package.
know i am able to mount database using following command
rman> startup mount;
when i wrote following command
rman> restore database;
i got following error
RMAN-06023: no backup or copy of datafile name found to restore
enven i have backup of datbase.
can anybody tell me how to recover datafiles in this case.
thanking you
sohailhi,
I think you might have a problem here as the error from RMAN is described in the following metalink note
Doc ID: Note:100565.1
You should change you backup script to be something like
rman {
backup database include current controlfile;
do you have any earlier backups of your database?
regards

I have a WD Passport HD attached to my Mac. When it was last connected it went into sleep mode and ran out of battery. Now I cannot find my HD in Finder and Disk Utilities is telling me it cannot repair the HD. I can see the HD but the volume part is greyed out. Any ideas on how to recover my data?
There are other methodologies of scanning a HD
which involve data extraction, but loss of metadata is often the result if the directory is corrupt.
Metadata is the info on what the data IS.
Like having all your papers thrown in the air, its all there, but just a giant mess.
This is why you always always must have several external HD redundancies of your data. One isnt enough, neither is two really.

1. How to recover the database and bring it online
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Edited by: hem_Kec on Sep 7, 2008 9:07 AMHi,
Archive log files are the copies of redolog files.As redo log files are circularly overwritten,oracle generates archive log file of the corresponding redo logfiles being overwritten.So if you have a backup that dates back to 10 am in the morning and if your database creashed at 3 pm,you cannot use the redo log files alone as they have incomplete information.To completely recover the database upto 3 pm,you need archive log files generated between 10 am to 3 pm. In your case since you are missing one archive log file,you cannot perform complete recovery and hence would suffer data loss. -

Hi - I have reformatted my computer and want to know how to recover my tunes that were on itunes - I have tried to transfer the tunes from my ipod but it has wiped this clean too - any suggestions welcome!!
*If my kids dock up their iPods to charge them (the iPods still have the music on them) will the computer "sync" the iPod to the now empty library that's on the computer?*
If the iPods are set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent an iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Once the iPods are connected it might be a good idea to change them to manual updating at least until you have your library back in shape. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod -

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?
What version of Photoshop are you running?
I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).

Hi BobRz,
As this is a new issue for me, I believe I had the incorrect approach, maybe you can help me. What I want to do is recover a few files in my desktop, and some information i had on the iCal application and the Mail application as well.As I do not want to do a full migration into this computer (which is not mine) I believe that starting the damaged MBP in Target mode should allow me to search and cop the files I need. But:
1. Can I open the Ical and mail apps to look for the info I need while reading it as an external HD ?
2. Do the target machine (my friends) still need to be updated to ML o Mavs so that it recognizes my MBP as an external drive if starting it in Target mode ? (no migration assistant)
Thanks.
