Non-Destructively change file system from HFS+ to HFS?

Is it possible to change the file system of my Macintosh HD partition from HFS+ to HFS without reformatting and losing data?

Sorry everyone, I used the wrong terminology because I was confused by HFS+ and HFS.
What I actually want to do is turn off journalling.
In Disk Utility, when I click on the partition, it says 'Enable Journalling' but this option is greyed out. However on the drop down menu it says Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the selected file system.
So I assume journalling is enabled?
How do I turn it off? (I need to turn it off so that I can have write access from my Ubuntu partition, at the moment I only have read-only access)

How to delete file systems from a Live Upgrade environment

How to delete non-critical file systems from a Live Upgrade boot environment?
Here is the situation.
I have a Sol 10 upd 3 machine with 3 disks which I intend to upgrade to Sol 10 upd 6.
Current layout
Disk 0: 16 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 1.9G /
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 692M /usr/openwin
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 7.7G /var
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 3.9G swap
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 2.5G /tmp
Disk 1: 16 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 7.7G /usr
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 1.8G /opt
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3 3.2G /data1
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s4 3.9G /data2
Disk 2: 33 GB:
/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 33G /data3
The data file systems are not in use right now, and I was thinking of
partitioning the data3 into 2 or 3 file systems and then creating
a new BE.
However, the system already has a BE (named s10) and that BE lists
all of the filesystems, incl the data ones.
# lufslist -n 's10'
boot environment name: s10
This boot environment is currently active.
This boot environment will be active on next system boot.

I browsed the Solaris 10 Installation Guide and the man pages
for the lu commands, but can not find how to remove the data
file systems from the BE.
How do I do a live upgrade on this system?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the tips.
I commented out the entries in /etc/vfstab, also had to remove the files /etc/lutab and /etc/lu/ICF.1
and then could create the Boot Environment from scratch.
I was also able to create another boot environment and copied into it,
but now I'm facing a different problem, error when trying to upgrade.
# lustatus
Boot Environment Is Active Active Can Copy
Name Complete Now On Reboot Delete Status
s10 yes yes yes no -
s10u6 yes no no yes - Now, I have the Solaris 10 Update 6 DVD image on another machine
which shares out the directory. I mounted it on this machine,
did a lofiadm and mounted that at /cdrom.
# ls -CF /cdrom /cdrom/boot /cdrom/platform
/cdrom:

ERROR: The media miniroot archive does not exist </cdrom/boot/x86.miniroot>.
ERROR: Cannot unmount miniroot at </cdrom/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot>.I find it strange that this sparc machine is complaining about x86.miniroot.
BTW, the machine on which the DVD image is happens to be x86 running Sol 10.
I thought that wouldn't matter, as it is just NFS sharing a directory which has a DVD image.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

HT200158 How do you to access Microsoft windows 7 files systems from OSX mountain lion

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4697 describes how to enable access to Microsoft windows file systems from an OSX lion system.
Mountain lion does not have this entry.
Now that I have a mac with Mountain LIon installed,
how do acces the files on a Microsoft windows 7 system that I have previously accessed?

Well as I pointed out in my post, "Sadly, my Text Edit documents are still all there, every single time I opened them and made a small change, there is another copy stretching all the way back to the day I installed Mountain Lion." so if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will concede that it is a good idea. Short of that, no I have been capable of making my own backups since I was 16 years old (16 years ago) I don't need my computer to endlessly do it for me in a way I am completely unable to shut off. That's what I have external hard drives, flash drives, a DVD burner, Drop Box, E-mail (as in emailing copies to myself) and icloud for. If I am doing something and I don't have access to a single one of those options, I don't know why I brought my computer with me in the first place. And I don't see how you can say it's an illusory gain in disk space, hundreds of copies of text documents, garageband files, Final Cut files, Motion Files and basically any program that makes files onto my comptuer that I can myself make incremental changes to, those all need to be stored somehow. Again, if you can explain to me how July 26 - Aug 16 is a week, I will agree with you that that is a good thing because IF it only saved for a week, it wouldn't be an issue. Sadly, no matter how many links you post, I still have text edit backups stretching from today back to July 26. They're not going away and I have no reason to beleive any other file I edit is going to go away either since they haven't been. They're all there eating up HD space and this imaginary "week" limit is simply not coming into effect. I hate it and there needs to be a simple way to simply shut it off. I didn't spend hundreds of dollars on external drives just for my main hard drive to be filled up with hundreds un useless, undeletable backups of stuff I already have backed up.

Will accepting an update aotumatically change ny system from 7.1.2 to 8? i do not want ios8

Yes. That's what an update does. It changes your old version to the new version.
If you don't want the new version, don't install the update.
Why don't you want iOS 8?

Access linux file system from windows and vice versa

Friends
Do anyone of you have any idea about how to access linux file system from windows using java. Thanx in advance.
Regards
Rakesh

"Accessing" is vague. Do you want to read? write? Both?
Here are two ways I'll mention.
1. Write an ftp client for the "cleint" computer. I beleive java has some framework functions for doing this.
2. Write java RMI client and server to open, read or write, and close a file. Pass a byte array parameter containing each block of data.

Getting XML data of SSIS Package (which is located in File System) from a query

Hi,
We have around 200 SSIS packages deployed to File System. These pacakges are being scheduled using SQL Agent job.
So, currently I have a list of all the packages and their respective File Path.
Note : **They are NOT deployed to Server**.
Now, my task is to search all the packages which has a specific connection in it.
From the below blog, I got to know we can achieve this by querying the XML data of the SSIS Package.
https://www.simple-talk.com/sql/ssis/-exploring-ssis-architecture-and-execution-history-through-scripting/.
But in the above article they are getting the XML definition of the Package from msdb(as it was deployed to server).
In my requirement, SSIS Packages are in File System. Is there any way to to get the XML definition of these packages using a query.
Please let me know if the above requirement is not clear or if any further information is required.
Thanks
Raksha

Hi Visakh & Praveen,
Thanks for the response.
@Visakh: The query provided by you gives the information about all the connection strings in the package.
@Praveen: The query in the link provided by you lists the values of all the properties of the package like MaxerrorCount, CreatorName, CreatorDate and other properties.
I think, we may have to slightly modify this query to get the connection string values
Praveen, nice to hear from you after a long time and that too in this forum !! :) Hope you are doing good.
Thanks

Why can't I access the K1 file system from my PC?

I could access the entire file system excluding the data folder yesterday. However since installing Letools, I no longer can drag-and-drop photos and movies to the K1 from Windows Explorer. I uninstalled Letools, but I still can't access the file system.
Please help.
Thank you

Thank you for trying to help. We have compared security mode settings and their Macs say that commenting is allowed, while mine says it's not allowed. I'm assuming this is why I can't highlight and they can. But I dont understand why they're different? The files this happens to are PDFs that our college classes assign as reading- so we all go to the same place to access these PDFs and save them, so the security modes shouldn't be different, but they are. Any idea why? Are Macs just enabled to do this for whatever reason and PCs aren't?

Restoring root file system from netbackup

Recently one of the hard disk containing root file system in my T2000 got many hard errors suddenly but the system continued to run. I dont have os mirroring. So I took backup of the root file system using veritas netbackup & restored those in the second hard disk. Also installed boot block for the same. I tried booting from the second hard disk & it booted, came to the prompt. But i found that most of the commands are not working. I tried df -h & it gave me error message like "unable to open /etc/mnttab". Is this approach incorrect?
My guess is that it doesnt work as i dint set partition table same for both the disks.

You need to use the baremetal backup/restore options with Netbackup to make backups of your operating system. It's generally recommended that you make a backup of your OS in single user mode, or booted from alternate media, so that you don't make backups of open files.
Another backup method would be to use something like ufsdump for ufs filesystems, or ZFS send/receive
and when you do restore, first boot in single user mode from cd so that you can update the files that still point to the old disk location, like the /etc/vfstab (for ufs) and to update the device paths with a reconfiguration reboot.

Thanks for your response , actually i have performed the below steps to release the space from mount point /u05 which i want to make the space as raw device so that i can use it for ASM , so my question is that how can i unformat the file system so that it can be a raw device.
umount /u05
metaclear d110
(Now i have the below two metadevices 500gb each which i want to use as raw device so that i can allocate it to ASM (Automatic Storage management). So how can we make it as raw device ??

Reading data file(txt) present in a file system from a package deployed in SSISDB

Hi,
I am trying to create and later read a data file from a package deployed in SSISDB, but it is not reading it while it is successfully creating the file. The same package when run from the file system package, runs successfully. Generating ispac and deploying
in SSISDB is running for infinite time. Any idea? Is it a permission issue?
Thanks
Ayush

Hi Ayush,
If I understand correctly, you directly execute a package from the file system source via Execute Package Utility, it works fine. When you right-click on a package under Integration Services Catalog \ SSISDB \ <Folder name> \ Projects \ <Project
name> \ Packages \ <Package name> and select Execute... to run a package in SQL Server Management Studio, it fails.
When we execute a package under Integration Services Catalog, the package will run under the credentials used to connect to SQL Server Management Studio. Please note that we need run the package using Windows Authentication.
As to your issue, please make sure the account connects to SQL Server Management Studio has required permissions to access the file folder and file outside the SSIS package.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Shared and non-shared application file system in R12

Hi,
We have a oracle apps 11.5.10.2 on mutli node architecture with node 1 hosting DB,CCM and admin while node 2 hosting Form and web servers on Windows 2003.
Some of our Products are in Shared status(Installation) like AD,AU etc and I found that R12 currently does not support the shared file system infrastructure on application tier server nodes running on Windows platforms
Metalink note:384248.1
what will be the impact of this if we plan for R12 upgrade?
Thanks!
Shekhar

Hi Shekar,

I'm slightly confused by your question. Shared application tier file system isn't supported on Windows platforms in 11i, either. From Note 233428.1: 
<blockquote>
The shared file system infrastructure is not supported on application tier server nodes running Windows platforms or using Oracle9iAS releases earlier than 1.0.2.2.2. Application tier nodes must be running on the same operating system to implement a shared file system.
</blockquote>

Are you perhaps referring to the licensing status of your Applications products (i.e. either Installed, Shared, or Not Installed) from the Installed Products report in OAM? If yes, then this should have no impact on your upgrade to R12...those statuses should remain the same when you upgrade. "Shared" in this case relates only to the licensing status of the product, implying that the product is not explicitly licensed (i.e. Installed status), but its functionality is required for used with other Installed products.

I am using AppEx 2.2.1.I have created a report showing the filename and id of a table. The table has a blob column containing the file.I want to hyperlink filename, so that I can go ahead and save it into my file system. But I don't know what to give in the URL field of the filename column attributes. How to get the file id of a file already in the database to link it and use? Any ideas please.

Changing LDAP System from AD to ADAM in CUCM 7.1.5

Hello Guys,
First time poster here, so be gentle...
We have a query regarding LDAP Synchronisation in CUCM 7.1.5.
A brief background :
Our CUCM environment has expanded since we first put it in a couple of years ago. We originally had, and continue to have, a single LDAP System configured on CUCM for only one of our AD forests.
We have a multi-forest AD environment, with us rolling out more and more CUCM enabled sites from our differing AD forests.
1 x CUCM 7.1.5 Pub (+ 2 x Subs)
1 x Presence
1 x MP
1 x UCCX
1 x Unity Connection
3 x Unity
We are building an AD LDS (ADAM) server to enable our multi-forest integration and LDAP synchronisation from CUCM. This is built based of this Cisco doco :
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/products_configuration_example09186a0080b2b103.shtml
Our question :
Changing the CUCM LDAP System (and thus also changing the LDAP Directory and Authentication)
From : "Microsoft Active Directory"
To : "Microsoft Acive Directory Application Mode" (ADAM)
AND : After running the first CUCM sync with the new ADAM server.
What impact will this have on the existing user accounts in CUCM (in terms of their Associated Devices and their Permissions Groups and Roles)?
Will they be overwritten and thus the above fields be blank? Leaving us having to manually add all that back in to our existing user base.
Or, (which we feel is most likely), will there be duplicate accounts created in CUCM?
The reason we feel there will be duplicates is due to the nature of multi-forest deployments and the issue of having the same usernames in two or more forests. All authentication requests must be performed using their User Principal Name (UPN), such as [email protected], rather than the standard way of just using your userid : jdoe
Sorry for the long winded query.
Appreciate any thoughts/opinions on this.
Cheers,
Rick.

Rick,
I haven't done this myself, so keep that in mind. As you say, be gentle.
Putting ADAM aside for the moment, in an LDAP sync configuration when you establish a sync agreement the CUCM does the following:
1. All user objects in the CUCM db are marked inactive
2. CUCM begins sync'ng with LDAP
3. For each user object learned from LDAP: The LDAP attribute chosen to map to the user ID in CUCM is compared to existing CUCM user objects.
- If a match is found, the account is activated
- attributes for first name, last name, telephoneNumber, etc. are then overwritten with the LDAP values (based on attribute mappings)
4. After the sync completes, any CUCM user object that did not have a LDAP object with the same user ID are still marked inactive. These objects will be purged during the next clean up interval
To give an example, I had a project where the customer was doing an upgrade from 4.1 to 7.1(3). As part of the upgrade, user objects were moved over to CUCM 7.1(3). Then we enabled LDAP sync. User objects were not deleted, nor were there duplicates. Configurations such as device associations were unaffected. The only thing we needed to do was check the CUCM user DB against LDAP user objects (running scripts against both) to find any mismatches between sAMAccountName and the CUCM user ID.
Assuming the sync process and behavior for activating/deactivating accounts is the same with an ADAM integration, then I wouldn't expect you to have an issue.
HTH.
Regards,
Bill

Changing Business Systems from Dev to QA

I am trying to transport Integration Directory (Configuration) objects from DEV to QA. Is there a way that I can define my business systems (or something else) so that when I import my ID objects into QA I do not have to go into the Communication Channels to change the sender(s) and receiver(s) of the interface from DEV business systems to QA business systems?

Hi Kirk,
I have not noticed this much, so I am bit doubtful.
It MAY be possible with below conditions
1) If you use CMS and have your transport groups enabled in SLD (for QA, Prod equivalent of Dev)
2) you use the same name for the receiver & sender adapters (common names across scenarios & servers)
3) you do the transport for the SECOND time
what i mean as second time is, suppose there is a scenario to the same business system and you are using a RFC adapter, (which was already configured for someother scenario in your QA)
with all these things, you may anyway have to ACTIVATE (but not configure) after the transports.
Hope this helps.

Vishnu
