NT 4.0 SP6 Workstation; DCA failure on installation; Please help.

Hi folks, I'm on NT 4.0 SP6 and I'm trying to install the Personal Edition of Oracle 9i with General Purpose database and the Database Configuration Assistant displays error "ORA-12571: TNS PACKET WRITER FAILURE".
I've read a lot here in the installation forum; I've tried installing from the /install/win32/setup.exe, I've
tried different database types, running the DCA standalone after the install, and I still get this error.
Later I tried the unistall procedures and still can't get a successful installation with database. I've had a post out here for a week and I haven't gotten any response.
I beleive my system specs are adequate, ie. disc space, memory, cpu, etc...;
Also, in the beginning of the install it tells me that I should have MTS (Microsoft Transaction Server) installed. Is this true? Do I really need MTS for a 'personal edition', non-networked version of 9i?
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Additionally:
I saw someone respond that Personal Edition was only for
Windows 98. I don't beleive that this is true. I know folks that have it installed on XP and 2000, as well as 98.
There seem to be a lot of problems with DCA posted in the installation forum. Why doesn't Oracle fix it so it works right?
Many thanks for this forum.

Hard Drive Failure?! Please help!!

I just purchased the 160 GB LaCie Mini external harddrive for my Mini. However I noticed when I play video files from the drive they appear choppy and blurred. I verified the disk in Disk Utility and got this message:
Verifying volume 160
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid extent entry
The volume 160 needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Then when I tried to repair it I got this message:

Invalid extent entry
Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit

I've attempted to erase the contents of the drive with zero out erase but I keep getting errors when I load files back onto the drive.
AND NOW MY INTERNAL HARD DRIVE HAS A "FATAL HARWARE ERROR"! aaahhh!! The S.M.A.R.T Status reads "Failing".
Why are both my internal and external drives suddenely failing?? And what should I do?! Someone please help!!

SMART status is a pretty reliable indicator of what is going on. You should back up your irreplaceable files as soon as possible.

Delayed write failure with iPad - please help

Hi, I have an iPad (original) that I picked up used recently. After a week or so of use, I'm now getting a "Delayed Write Failure" whenever I connect it to my PC. Here are the details:
1) I am not synching music, only email, apps and photos.
2) when I connect my iPad, I get a delayed write failure on F:\$Mft. (F is one of two external USB drives I use). Once this error happens my "F:" drive is no longer usable. The drive itself still shows up in Windows Explorer but it will not show the folder structure,
3) I need to shut down my computer, unplug my "F" drive, let it sit for a few minutes, then Re-boot my PC and re-attach my F: drive to get it operational again.
4) After this happened the first time, and I was able to figure out how to get my F drive back to normal, I ran it for two days connected to a different USB port using a different USB cable and it worked fine. Then I used the old USB cable but the different USB port for another 2 days and no problem. I then went back to the original USB cable and original USB port for 2 days and still no problem. If I run iTunes with out the iPad connected there is not problem. Only when I connect the iPad does this problem occur, even before I ask iTunes to do anything like synch.
Please help
Thanks -- Dan

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

My VCAP5-DCA is coming soon , Please HELP !!!

Hello everyone ,,,
My Exam in less than two weeks , I have to travel driving 450 KM as there is no place to have it where I am, it will be disappointing to fail , so I need your advice here please.
** Questions of type:
-Explain DRS / storage DRS affinity and anti-affinity rules
-Analyze Virtual Machine workload to determine optimum slot size
-Analyze HA cluster capacity to determine optimum cluster size
What I have to do exactly practically with them , I do understand them but what questions should ask when it is all about LAB questions ?!
** What I can do with PowerCli / esxcli I can not do with GUI ? (other than creating 1000 VMs or Objects with specific parameters)
** Can I ignore learning more about (vMA) commands ? as I am relying totally on powercli & esxcli ?
** Some people advice to go through the exam questions , divide them (using note) to A:administration C: configuration require Actions and more time ,, How much it is true ? is questions fast to forward on and back so I can have overview and categorize them ?
**For the Objective: -Analyze performance metrics to calculate host failure requirements
How could I memorize all metrics ? as I can not find them even in KB.vmware ,or documentation only in 3rd party , how to review them while in exam ?
** Is only kb.vmware.com & documentations mentioned in blueprint available or I can access the communities.vmware.com as well ?
** Please advice about tricks for time management!
** SO far I study like that, So tell me what I am missing here ?
>> I did read: VMware.Press.VCAP5-DCA.Official.Cert.Guide.pdf
I keep scenarios and each chapter task for final review on hand
>> I am watching: TrainSignal - VMware vSphere Optimize and Scale (VCAP5-DCA) I go through what is not clear to test it or at least to visit it once.
>> I depend on WAHL Network Study sheet, but I redesigned it to fit my way, so I go through each objective one by one.
So I open the 2 below guides side by side , review same objective and even google if I didnt understand.
The-Unofficial-Official-VCAP5-DCA-Study-Guide.pdf
vdca550-study-guide-complete-20150131-Paul Grevink..pdf
I practice some objectives , other I have nothing to practice it is about understanding or analyzing like my above question
I appreciate if someone can advise Please.
Regards ,,
Ahmad Sabry

>What I have to do exactly practically with them , I do understand them but what questions should ask when it is all about LAB questions ?!
You remotely connect to the exam environment using RDP and execute the scenarios presented to you
>** What I can do with PowerCli / esxcli I can not do with GUI ? (other than creating 1000 VMs or Objects with specific parameters)
Run commands only available in PowerCLI/esxcli
Write/repair/run PowerCLI scripts
>** Can I ignore learning more about (vMA) commands ? as I am relying totally on powercli & esxcli ?
vMA exists in the environment as a management platform but not as an exam requirement.
>** Some people advice to go through the exam questions , divide them (using note) to A:administration C: configuration require Actions and more time ,, How much it is true ? is questions fast to forward on and back so I can have overview and categorize them ?
Don't do that. Waste of time. Tackle the items one by one in order. If you get to one you don't know how to do, mark it on your paper (Item #5 : Create HA cluster.) and come back to it at the very end.
>**For the Objective: -Analyze performance metrics to calculate host failure requirements
>How could I memorize all metrics ? as I can not find them even in KB.vmware ,or documentation only in 3rd party , how to review them while in exam ?
Just basic HA admission control stuff I believe, plus checking VM performance vs host capacity
>** Is only kb.vmware.com & documentations mentioned in blueprint available or I can access the communities.vmware.com as well ?
Pubs.vmware.com and kb.vmware.com only. also, all PDFs for vSphere 5.5
>** Please advice about tricks for time management!
Don't spend over 10 minutes on any item unless you are *sure* know the solution. Mark it and come back.
If you open an RDP, telnet or PowerCLI close it when you are done. the time savings to open it again if you need it does not outweigh the performance hit of leaving it open.
Read carefully, don't go too fast. Make sure all requirements and bullets are addressed.
Getting all points on many items > getting some points on most items.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit - PLEASE HELP

After running Verify disc I keep getting the following message, What does it mean and how can I repair it? - the Repair disk option is always blanked out;
"The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"

Maybe make a clone backup of the entire drive to an external FW drive that you can boot from.
Cloning a drive with directory damage, or corrupt data will result in the exact same errors. If the original isn't able to boot, most likely, the clone won't be able to either.
Backups are to protect your data when trouble strikes. After trouble rears it's ugly head, it's too late for clones. Manual (drag and drop) copying of the file can be accomplished, as long as the troubled drive mounts.
Once the original has been repaired, then cloning is once again a good backup protocol.

Failure to reboot--please help!

Ok. I have been trying to get more memory for my aged emac by using an external hard drive. I have successfully cloned it but despite following directions in carcon copy cloner and with OWC tech support I cannot get it to be my bootdrive. I also discovered my pRAM battery needed to be changed. Did that and repeated whole cloning process after I used onyx for a system cleanup and disk permissions repair, just in case. Then I wiped the harddive using erase and install off the leopard install dvd. That went fine and did it's automatic restart. That worked fine. Last night I used software update and restarted to install updates. during the update install after it had restarted the power went out for about 30 seconds. The restart had reached the screen which said something like "installing updates" with the pogress bar. It powered off completely. Now it will come on and shows the pale gray screen with the dark gray apple and goes no further. I have tried turning it off and on at the power button to no avail. Also tried to get it to open dvd rom to try to get install disk in, but it won't let me open it. Please help, I really need to get this thing back up and running as my kids do their school work on it and they have to finish by 5/25/12. Thanks!

Whew, is the external drive USB or Firewire?
Option or alt key should bring up the startup manager, the screen with the 3/4 circle on the left, Right arrow on the right, with any bootable drives/Discs in between.
T key is Target mode with the big floating Firewire symbol, that should turn the eMac into a 50# external Firewire drive for another Mac to see/fix/get data off.
Holding just the c key at bootup should boot from the Install Disc.
To find srevice, I doubt any Apple Store works on eMacs anymore, but independents might...

Setup Failure on 9ias r2 on NT4 sp6 workstation

Hi,
I'm trying to setup the "lite" version of 9ias R2 on my NT 4 sp6 workstation to use as a local test enviornment. When I double click on setup.exe nothing happens. Literally. The mouse cursor changes for a fraction of a second then nothing.
Is it possible to install 9ias r2 on a workstation? I need to do a "proof of concept" before upgrading my solaris server with the solaris version.

Hi Arthur,
did you find the solution ?
I get the same problem under W2K SP2.
I already have Oracle 9i client installed on my pc, I hope it's not the problem.

Dear MAC-Friends.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I am extremely afraid to do something wrong - what will be a failure so I loose all the photos I had in my iphoto library before installing the Mountain Lion.
I have just installed the MOUNTAIN-LION and now I can´t use my Iphoto-programme without answering the following question:
Choose another Library ? ( But I only want the choose the photos which one was in the old iPhoto-Library and not the other photos on the MAC-computer ? ).
and the other possibility is:
Create a new Libray ! Which iPhoto-library ?
And why create a new and to risq to loose the old photos.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Kind regards FINN GRABOWSKI

Ok. Let me first ask you, do you have any backups of your files - for example, do you use Time Machine or any other backup system?
Next, quit iPhoto. In the Finder, go to your Pictures folder. Is there a file there called iPhoto.Library? How large is it? (If it doesn't show the size, click once on it, click cmd-I to see the information). If it's a healthy size (ie, several GB), then that should be your library, and you can double-click it to launch iPhoto. (The application will remember where your library is next time, you can just launch iPhoto normally).
If that's not the right file, check your Trash. Is there anything in there?

PLEASE HELP !! Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.

Last night, I looked at "Get Info" for the "Macintosh HD"
At the very bottom of the window are listed Permissions, that consisted of (1) Owner, (2) Admin, (3)Everyone.
I had the idea that if I REMOVED "Everyone" by selecting it and hitting "-", I could better secure access to the "Macintosh HD".
Well, now the G5 starts its boot up routine and stalls at the gray screen with pinwheel spinning.
1. I tried purging the P-RAM... no change.
2. I tried doing a "Safe Boot", didn't do anything, couldn't get it to boot up beyond gray screen.
3. Booted up from Leopard CD, and ran "Verify Disk" with the result message that "the volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
4. Ran "Repair Disk" with the result message that "the volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK"
5. Tried to run "Verify Permissions" with the result message "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. Permission verification complete"
6. Tried to run "Repair Permissions" with the result message "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. Permission verification complete"
I assume that my stupidly removing "Everyone" from the permissions list of "Macintosh HD" is the cause.
HELP !!!! IS there an easy way to restore the Permissions to where they were before ????
PLEASE HELP.
THANKS !!!!

I think chmod 1775 sets the sticky bit.
To get more details on what chmod does, do 'man chmod' from the command line. There are man pages for most of the command-line UNIX tools.
BTW, I don't think changing the permissions at the root of the hard drive is the best idea
This is one case where 'repair permissions' might help as well. Once booted into a shell you can do 'sudo diskutil repairpermissions /'

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.
