Optimum Disk Configuration for CS6

Hi Hardware forum members,
I have read the Generic Disk Guidelines, read the various forum threads on this topic, watched the Adobe Video2Brain videos and am still confused re optimum disk configuration for CS6 Premier Pro.
( lots of disagreemnet on HDD RAID0 versus SSD )
The video and advice from Adobe is to have a separate disk for each disk for each type of file so that you are not reading and writing from the same disk.
I rang Adobe technical support and they advised me that if I had 4 individual separate SSD's they would allocate one to the O/S and Programs, one to the Media and Media Cache which they said had to be on the same disk, one to the Project and finally one to the Export and Preview.
I then asked them if I purchased another SSD so that I had one for the O/S and Programs and then 2 x 2 in a RAID0 configuration, how would they allocate the the drives. They said they would allocate one RAID0 volume to the Media and Media Cache and to the second RAID0 volume they would allocate the Project, Export and Preview. Doesn't this contradict the advice to keep the files separate, as your Project files would be on the same disk as your Export and Preview ?
In any case, they said the 2 X 2 RAID0 configuration would give the better performance.
What do the forum members here think will be the better disk configuration from the two options above ?
What about TRIM support for SSD'S in a RAID0 configuration - is that still an issue, before I commit to the 2 X 2 SSD in RAID0 configuration.
FYI - Backup will be to 4 x 3tb Seagates in a RAID5 config and the SSD'S under consideration are the Samsung 840 Pro's.
Your thoughts and recommendations will be most welcome.
Kind Regards
Martin.

Hi Jim,
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my post - it is much appreciated.
I have ruled out the 2 x 2 ssd in raid 0 as an option due to the lack of TRIM support for this configuration as the performance would just deteriorate over time.
Your advice makes sense as everybody's individual needs and preferences are different.
I'm still going to go with a combination of individual SSD drives ( no raid and just depends how many individual SSD's I decide to allocate) with the RAID5 array of 4 x 3tb disks for backup (around 9tb usable space ). The machine wont just be used exclusively for video editing and hence this is swaying my decision towards the SSD's.
I could be persuaded to change the RAID5 backup to a RAID10 with the same disks but this would give me more speed and safer redundancy, albeit with only 6TB of usable space. ( I know the backup has nothing to do with the CS6 performance or configuration, just mentioning it ).
FYI, the machine is a desktop, not a laptop, with an ASRock Extreme 11 x79 mb which gives me enough SATA3 connections and has onboard RAID options
Other components are a 3930k processor, 64 gb 8 x 8 Corsair Vengenace 1866 c9 memory kit, and an EVGA GTX680 4G Classified Video Card.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply - much appreciated
I'm looking forward to getting the build up and running
Happy to hear anyone else's thoughts on this topic too.
Kind Regards
Martin.

How to determine raw disks configured for OCR/voting disk, ASM spfile

I have a two-node Oracle 10gR2 RAC configuration using raw disks. Basically, raw disks are used for CRS's OCR/voting disks, ASM's ASM spfile and disk groups.
Is there a better way to figure out what raw disks are configured in Oracle using methods other than those shown below:
- To find out votedisk:
# crsctl query css votedisk
0. 0 /dev/ora_crs_vote1
1. 0 /dev/ora_crs_vote2
2. 0 /dev/ora_crs_vote3
- To find out OCR:
# ocrcheck
Status of Oracle Cluster Registry is as follows :
Version : 2
Total space (kbytes) : 525836
Used space (kbytes) : 3856
Available space (kbytes) : 521980
ID : 1603037329
Device/File Name : /dev/ora_ocr_file1
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Device/File Name : /dev/ora_ocr_file2
Device/File integrity check succeeded
Cluster registry integrity check succeeded
- Is there a way to figure out what disk device is used for ASM spfile?
- To find out raw disks configured for disk groups:
while connected to the ASM instance in sqlplus:
SQL> select name,path from v$asm_disk where name like 'DG%';

What is the optimum core configuration for a new Mac Pro to process and manipulate very large (80 megapixel) images using PhotoShop and Camera Raw?

Hello:
I will be using creative techniques to process and manipulate a large number (hundreds) of very large (80 megapixel) images captured using a medium format digital back (Phase One IQ180).
Final output will be digital fine art imagery printed using an Epson 11880 at large sizes (up to 60 inches x ?), retaining the highest possible quality and resolution. I will be using Adobe CC PhotoShop and Camera RAW as well as Capture One software. PhotoShop filters will be used extensively.
The Mac Pro needs to be optimized for the above purpose and be useful for at least five years. I plan to max out all the other options (RAM, graphics cards, storage). Performance is more important than cost.
The few discussions I have found that mention optimum core configurations seem to lean toward 6 or 8 (but likely are not taking into consideration my need for manipulating a large number of very large files), so I am looking to this foum for opinions.
Thank you,
Kent

Would like to know if this is correct disk configuration for 11.2.0.3

Hello, please see the procedure below that I used to allow the grid infratstructure 11.2.0.3 oui to be able
to recognize mY EMC San disks as candidate disks for use with ASM.
we are using EMC powerpath for our multipathing as stated in the original problem description.I want to know if this is a fully supported method for
configuring our san disks for use with oracle ASM becuase this is redhat 6 and we do not have the option to use the asmlib driver.Please note that I have
been able to successfully install the gird infrastructure successfully for a 2 node RAC cluster at this point using this method.Please let me know if there
any issue with configuring disks using this method.
We have the following EMC devices which have been created in the /dev directory.I will be using device emcpowerd1 as my disk for the ASM diskgroup I will be
creating for the ocr and voting device during grid install.
[root@qlndlnxraccl01 grid]# cd /dev
[root@qlndlnxraccl01 dev]# ls -l emc*
crw-r--r--. 1 root root 10, 56 Aug 1 18:18 emcpower

brw-rw----. 1 root disk 120, 113 Aug 1 18:18 emcpowerh1
As you can see the permissions by default are root:disk and this will be set at boot time.These permissions do not allow the Grid Infrastructure to recognize
the devices as candidates for use with ASM so I have to add udev rules to assign new names and permissions during boot time.
Step 1. Use the scsi_id command to get the unique scsi id for the device as follows.
[root@qlndlnxraccl01 dev]# scsi_id whitelisted replace-whitespace --device=/dev/emcpowerd1
360000970000192604642533030434143
Step 2. Create the file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules
Step 3. With the scsi_id that was obtained for the device in step 1 you need to create a new rule for that device in the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-
asmdevices.rules file. Here is what the rule for that one device looks like.
KERNEL=="sd*1" SUBSYSTEM=="block",PROGRAM="/sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace /dev/$name",RESULT=="360000970000192604642533030434143",NAME="asm
crsd1",OWNER="grid",GROUP="asmadmin",MODE="0660"
( you will need to create a new rule for each device that you plan to use as a candidate disk for use with oracle ASM).
Step 4. Reboot the host for the new udev rule to take affect and then verify that the new device entry will be added into the /dev directory with the
specified name, ownership and permissions that are required for use with ASM once the host is back online.
Note: You will need to replicate/copy the /etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle-asmdevices.rules file to all nodes in the cluster and restart them for the changes to
be in place so that all nodes can see the new udev device name in the /dev directory on each respective node.
You should now see the following device on the host.
[root@qlndlnxraccl01 rules.d]# cd /dev
[root@qlndlnxraccl01 dev]# ls -l asm*
brw-rw----. 1 grid asmadmin 65, 241 Aug 2 10:10 asmcrsd1
Step 5. Now when you are running the oui installer for the grid installation when you get to the step where you define your ASM diskgroup you should choose
external redundancy and then click on the change disk dicovery path and change the disk discovery path as follows.
/dev/asm*
Now at this point you will see the new disk name asmcrsd1 showing as a condidate disk for use wiith ASM.
PLease let us know if this is a supported method for our shared disk configuration.
Thank you.

Hi,
I've seen this solution in a lot of forums but I do not agree or don't like at all; even if we have 100 luns of 73GB each.
so the thing is, as in any other unix flavor we don't have asmlib***just EMCPOWERPATH running on differentes unix/linux flavors we dont like either udev-rules, dm-path and stuff***
Try this as root user
ls -ltr emcpowerad1
brw-r----- 1 root disk 120, 465 Jul 27 11:26 emcpowerad1
# mknod /dev/asmdisks
# chown oragrid:asmadmin /dev/asmdisks
# cd /dev/asmdisks
# mknod VOL1 c 120 465
# chmod 660 /dev/asmdisks/VOL*
repeat above steps on second node
asm_diskstring='/dev/asmdisks/*'
talk with sysadmin and stoadm guys to garanty naming and persistents in all nodes of your RAC using emcpowerpath. (even after reboot or san migration)

How to edit a CS5 photoshop ext in configurator for CS6

I am very new to ext manager and to configurator.
I have a "homemade" ext panel, done for CS5. It is shown in both EXT MGR for CS5 and for EXT MGR for CS6. The panel is active in both CS5 and CS6.
I would like to change it so that the panel picks up the user interface that I use with CS6. As of now the panel has a bright white background which I find distracting.
I cannot find a way to edit any extension in CONFIGURATOR 3.1.1, Perhaps I am looking in the wrong place for the wrong thing.
Any advice, particular about opening an existing panel created in configurator (by a friend) and changing it somewhat.
many thanks,
vince
Message was edited by: vinsolo

Configurator cannot edit the exported extension. If you have the source file of the panel created by Configurator 2, it is a file with extension "gpc", you can open this gpc file with Configurator 3 and upgradge the gpc file for CS6.

Mac Pro and disk configuration for DV

I have a MacPro with a 2 500gb and a 250gb internal disks. OSX is installed on one of the 500gb drives, I have the other 500 for data, like finalcut content, and the 250 for bootcamp (windows xp). I also have a 500gb WD mybook premium that I use for time machine.
I would like to add some more space dedicated to video.
I was thinking about was a WD mybook studio pro II 1TB using a stripe set. Here is where it gets messy in my opinion. Should I use FW800, or should I use eSata?
My next problem: I have 1TB of space on a nice fast raid0, but no redundancy. What should I do now? I can get another 1TB mybook (fw400) and do nightly backups, but with what? I would like to use time machine, but from what I read, you can only use 1 disk with it. I could use the software that comes on the mybook to do the backup, looks like it would work, but not all that pretty.
What I was thinking, get a 1TB fw drive and use it for time machine and back up the 500gb OS drive, and the 500gb data drive. I could get another 1tb drive and backup the mybook studio pro II nightly. That way I will never loose more than 1 days work.
The other thing I was thinking was use 2 mybook studio pro 2's and do a software raid1 and mirror them. So i would basicly have a raid 0+1 (mirrored stripeset). the stripes would be hardware raid, and the mirror would be software. From what I hear, software raid doesnt perform that well. Also, what interfaces would I use. I only have 1 fw800 port on the back, and would rather not plug 1 in the back, and 1 in the front. and it would be bad to use 1 fw800 and 1 fw400.
just trying to get the best balance between performace, reliability, and cost.
Any help would be great!
Thanks!
Brian

I would go easy on WD MyBook. Why the fondness for vendor? check out threads and reports on hard drives like MacIntouch.
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/harddrives/topic3970.html#d20aug2008
Put to rest the idea of mirroring. One drive today can saturate FW800. Mirrors are not as useful as backup and its built-in? Another: Apple dropped 0+1 for good reason in Leopard. But you heard software RAID...? Apple RAID is fine, done right.
Invest in a single 4-channel PCIe SATA controller and then you can use SATA drives, and do more than all these other FW drives, cables, all of which run on the single FW bus. Load your 500GB drives there and replace with newer drives (OS X, scratch, data).
If/when you need faster or better drives:
http://www.barefeats.com/harper14.html
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Western%20Digital/WD6400AAKS/
TB drives: http://www.barefeats.com/hard94.html
Add WinClone and/or Windows backup software to backup to one of your existing FW drives, may as well use them for something.
TimeMachine will by default backup all drives. I don't like that. You can have multiple TM sets, nothing to stop you. Definitely don't rely on one backup set or strategy. Definitely use SuperDuper to keep working backups of your system too. You can backup to sparse disk images.
You have PCI Express to add disk controllers, you don't need to rely on USB or Firewire. And if you want to add FW/USB, less trouble and better Mac support with Oxford based OWC Mercury cases.

Drive Usage Configuration for CS6 Workstation?

I'm trying to setup a workstation optimized for Adobe Premiere CS6 and need some advice on drive usage. (Projects, Media, Previews, Media Cache, etc.)But with the backup situation I'm currently using, I'm only allotted 1TB, so I have to pick and choose what drives I should back up.
Here's the setup I have...
System Setup:
HP Z820
16gb RAM
Nvidia Quadro 6000
Drive Setup:
C:(OS) 300GB SATA SSD
D: 500gb SATA 7200rpm
E: 1TB SATA 7200rpm
I can either backup my OS SSD drive and the 500GB drive or just the TB drive. Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Shayne W.
Boise, ID

Your 2nd option is what I do with 3 platter drives (320+320+1T) and then USB drives for file and OS backup
For OS+Software backup, I make a restorable image to the USB drive
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to
make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden
registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore
the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything

Need advice on Hardware & Disk Setup for Premiere Pro CS6

I am about to purchase a Mac Pro and after reading threads on hardware requirements & different disk setups I am still a little unsure which way to go. If someone could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Firstly this system will be used primarily for the following tasks: Editing AVCHD media (Sony HDR-XR550) and burning to disk with light editing, Creating Web Videos from AVCHD Media, editing images in Ps & Lr. This is strictly a hobby for me and I will also use the machice for some light AutoCad work.
The current system specs are as follows:
3.33GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 16GB (4x4GB) RAM, Bay 1: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 2: 512GB SSD, Bay 3: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, Bay 4: 1TB 7200-rpm Serial ATA 3Gb/s, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB, Two 18x SuperDrives.
My questions are:
1.     Reading the thread on Generic Guidelines for Disk Setup I plan to use the 4 Disk setup described. If I only have 1 SSD, should I make it C: D: E: or F:? My priority would be the editing speed rather than the exporting speed.
2.     If I can stretch my budget to include another SSD then again, should I make it C: D: E: or F:?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi Harm (& Jim),
After much deliberation I agree with you and Jim. I am not sure what I was thinking!
I have decided to build my own machine based around your reccomendations in previous posts. Could you please look over the system specifications and offer any suggestions or comments?

I have a few questions if you would be kind enough to help.
Is the RAM specified compatible with the rest of my system?

What would be the optimal disk configuration with the proposed disks? I would consider another WD Black if it would make a significant difference.
Do you have any other suggestions where this system could be improved whilst keeping the budget around the same value?

Disk configuration and workflow help needed for lab video workstation

Hi All,
Setting up a video editing workstation for a research lab that will use Premeire to edit AVCHD Progressive clips (sometimes with 2 streams side-by-side, but usually single-camera) and export them to .mp4 for later viewing by video coders. We won't be using AfterEffects or adding anything to the videos other than some text (titles, maybe sub-titles).
The other purpose of this workstation is to act as a file server and backup system for other machines in the lab. Coders will be viewing the exported videos via other networked machines and working with Microsoft Office files that will be stored on the workstation's other HDDs. I'll have a physical backup drive and cloud backup via CrashPlan.
I've built a machine that is probably overkill, but the client (my wife) wanted it to be "fast," and the purpose of the machine might change in the future:
i7-4770K (overclocked a bit)
16GB RAM
Asus Z87-Pro
GeForce GTX 660
I have the OS (W7) and programs on a 256 GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD and currently have two 1TB Velociraptors to use for the Premiere workflow. I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with the purchase of the rest of the drives, and I want to keep the Premiere drives separate from the large storage drives from the lab that are networked and synced to cloud backup.
Following the recommendations for a three-disc configuration I've picked up on these forums, I could set it up like this:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs, pagefile)
D: (1TB HDD) (media, projects)
E: (1TB HDD) (previews, media cache, exports)
F: (4TB HDD) (backups of media, projects, and exports and storage of other research files)*THIS DRIVE WOULD BE SHARED ON THE NETWORK
G: (4TB external HDD) (backup of F & drive that backs up to CrashPlan)
but it seems that would be a waste of the speed of the second 10k velociraptor. If I added another SSD and RAIDed the Velociraptors it would be:
C: (256GB SSD) (OS, programs)
D: (Two 1TB Velociraptors in RAID 0) (media, projects)
E: (256GB SSD) (media cache, pagefile)
but would I then need to add another dedicated HDD for previews and exports, or could I store those on the networked F: from above (which would be previews, exports, backups of media and projects, and storage of other research files) without taking a speed hit?
It seems overkill to have a dedicated drive for exports and previews (let's make that the new F:), then have them copy to the first 4TB drive (now G:), then back that up to the second 4TB drive (now H:), then back that up to CrashPlan. However, people might be accessing that network drive at any time, and I don't want that to slow any part of the video process down.
I appreciate any advice ya'll can give me!

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the encouraging response. I'm leaning toward the non-SSD option at this point.
To make sure I understand, are you suggesting I try using the Velociraptor Raid 0 in the 2 disk configuration suggested by Harm's Guidelines for Disk Usage chart? Like this:
C: (256 GB SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (1TB x2 in RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews, Exports)?
Where I'm still confused there, and in looking at Harm's array suggestions for 5 or more drives, is how performance is affected by having simultaneous read/write operations happening on the same drive, which is what I understood was the reason for spreading out the files on multiple drives. Maybe I don't understand how Premiere's file operations work in practice, or maybe I don't understand RAID 0 well enough.
In the type of editing we'll be doing (minimal) aren't there still times when Premiere will be trying to read and write from the D: drive at the same time, for example during export? Wouldn't the increased speed benefits of RAID 0 for either read or write alone be defeated by asking the array to do both simultaneously?
Maybe the reason the Media Cache is on the SSD in the above configuration is because that is what will be read while writing to something like Exports? But that wouldn't make sense given Harm's chart, which has the Media Cache also located on the array....
Another question is, given that the final home of the exported videos will be on the big internal drive (4TB) anyway, could I set it up like this:
C: (SSD) (OS, Programs, Pagefile, Media Cache)
D: (2TB RAID 0) (Media, Projects, Previews)
E: (network shared 4TB HDD) (Exports + a bunch of other shared non-video files)
so I don't end up having to copy the exported videos over to the 4TB drive? Do you think it would render significantly faster to the RAID than it would to the 7200 rpm 4TB drive? I'd like to cut out the step of copying exported videos from D: to E: all the time if it wasn't necessary.
Thanks again.

Shared disk (SAN EVA 4400) configuration for ASM on linux RHEL5

Hi all,
I want to install RAC database (oracle 10g on RHEL5). Now we are configurind shared storage for the both servers (nodes). In disk configuration (SAN on EVA 4400) we have created the volume group for the disk to use for ASM and present the disk group to the servers. Actually when we check the server we cannot see the disk (shared storage).

(they are local disks not the shared disk)
My questions are:
- How to mount the disk to be seen in the server
- How to configure the disk for ASM is there any document for this. In my knowledge the disk to use for ASM doesn't need to be formated with a file system and shouldn't see when we run the df command.
Does anybody can help me as it's very urgent for us.
Thank you

Hi all,
NOw the disk is presented to server. but my actual problem is how to create shared partition of this disk for the servers.
Our actual status is we have created one volume group with 500 Gb in the sun and this volume group is called vg_oradata. we will use this storage for OCR, voting disk and the databse file (ASM). A si know from documentation i have to create one shared partition for OCR, one shared partition for Voting disk and another for database.
That i want to do is creating for example :
ocr_partition (25 Gb) : for OCR
vote_partition (25 Gb): for Voting disk
oradata_part1 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part2 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
oradata_part3 (150 Gb): for database (ASM)
My problem is how to create this partition because when i'm trying to create it from Logical Volume Manager of Linux i cannot find them in to servers.
I mean i'm new in system administrator and our SAN vendors also doesn't know how to it in LInux system.
Could you help me please if possible.
My system is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5 and i'm going to use Oracle 1Og RAC.
Thank you
Lucienot

Best disk setup for Premiere CS6

Hello,
I want to improve my disk setup for Adobe Premiere CS6 because I got long loading times.
My current setup:
Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for the program
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for media and Media Cache Files
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD for projects and exports
My planed setup:
new: Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD for the program
Crucial RealSSD C300 60GB SSD for Media Cache Files
2x Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD with Raid 1 for media
new: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB HDD for projects and exports
Is this the best solution to improve the performance?
Thanks
Tim

What is the advantage of getting an extra HDD for the exports?
None from a performance point of view.
And should I use the 60GB SDD for the Media Cache Files?
That is much too small. Depending on your projects, you will need at least 256 GB, but possibly even more.
With only 350 GB of media and projects, my media cache is already 72 GB.

4 disk setup for PPRO cs6 please

hello,
can any users throw out advice as to where to put scratch disk, media cache/files, previews, final renders for PPRO cs6
using 4 sataII 7200 drives please...
c: 1) os win7 // cs6 programs
d: 2) final renders //
e: 3) media cache // previews // encore ISO //
f: 4) footage/ PPRO_projects // encore projects
(the encore projects and iso are where they are at because writing the iso E: needs the final render D: (2 separate hdd) (and no longer needs the 'footage' on F:)

Premiere Pro saves conformed audio in CFA audio preview files. You can determine where to save these audio preview files by specifying a Scratch Disk location for Audio Previews in the Project Settings dialog box.
yet, i find the cfa files in the media cache files folder...
thanks in advance, j

Here's what I'd do.
C: OS/Programs
D: Projects/Cache/Scratch
E: Media
F: Exports/Images
