Oracle Vm guest boot order

Hi,
is there any possibility to setup VM guest boot order in Oracle Vm server. For example i have VMs 1,2,3 and when the Oracle Vm server is restarted, i want the VM guests to boot automatically in the following order:
VM2(database)
VM3(Forms & reports)
VM1(BI pubisher).
regards,
Savo

Hi there Savo,
the only approach I am aware of is to create symbolic links in
/etc/xen/auto to point to the respective guests' cfg file. Though you
can play around with naming the links to accomplish proper boot order,
you still may experience issues as the hypervisor will start the
machines but the individual time for loading OS and other software may
vary. Based on this you may have one machine started before another, but
the second to start all services faster than the first one. Hence,
having issues.
Take a look at this threa <https://community.oracle.com/thread/2446485>d
and pay attention to the last post as I have not tried it.
In general both approaches will impose a great level of inflexibility in
a clustered pool as you have to carefully plan where each machine will
start after dom0 reboots.
Hope this helps,
Anatoli

Boot order of the SOA composites

Hi
Do we have any option to define the boot order of the SOA composites, during a server recycle.?
We are having issues in server during recycle. The dependent services are not brought up first, hence call to such not brought up services are failing.
The caller services are configured with MDS artifacts of the callee services, hence they can be brought up, even if the dependent services are not active.
Please suggest, if you have any options.

Hi,
Do you use 11g? In that case the best thing to do is to put the abstract version of all the services into the MDS.
Than base all the ui-wsdl references and all the wsdl-imports on the reference to the abstract wsdl in the mds (eg. replace all the wsdl-references with an oramds:/apps/... reference to the path in the mds).
In service references in the composite you should keep the ws.binding attributes (location and port) referencing the concrete (deployed) values. These are used on runtime.
If you do so (which is I think best practice), then there is no dependency at startup, so the chronology of starting up does not matter. At startup time it will use the abstract (ui) versions of the wsdl's. Only on runtime the concrete ones. See for instance: http://www.albinsblog.com/2011/11/oracle-soa-suite-10g-to-11g-migration_06.html.
If you use SOASuite 10g, you could do about the same. But then you should put all the wsdl's in a subfolder in the htdocs folder of the apache server. Then in the bpel.xml you there are the wsdlLocation and the wsdlRuntimeLocation properties for the designtime (abstract) and the runtime version (concrete) of the wsdl.

I request a apple Id and password from the guest in order to track it though iCloud, when I login into the account the MacBook was not their, however I saw other device. A few days has past then the MacBook appear. How does that happened, please explain?

For a stolen Macbook to appear in iCloud - the person who stole it must turn it on.

BootCamp drivers crash Windows 7, slow startup, boot order?, backup drive

I have 3 issues that may be related or possibly not related to each other. I use an iMac (currently with Leopard 10.5.8 on a completely clean installation of both Leopard and Windows 7 on a freshly formatted and partitioned drive).
Issues:
1. Before reformatting and installing Leopard and Windows 7, I tried to install Snow Leopard and then Snow Leopard Bootcamp drivers into Windows 7. This crashed Windows 7.
2. Slow startup of Windows 7 - Drivers needed?
3. Firewire backup drive never re-mounts after using WIndows and then going back to OS X.
*Details of issues*:
In the past, before I completely re-installed Leopard 10.5.8 with a new Windows 7, with this same pair of operating systems, I always had a slow startup of Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Sometimes this would take up to 6 minutes to completely open Windows 7. The "Starting Windows" message would appear usually soon, but it would tale a very long time before the Windows logo Flag would appear. The slow startup still continues, even after a complete reinstallation of these on a freshly re-formatted and re-partitioned hard drive (This re-installation was done for reasons shown below).
For a long while I have thought that because I had never installed any BootCamp drivers into Windows 7, then it might start better if I were to install the BootCamp drivers from an installation disk. Thus when I the other day briefly upgraded to Snow Leopard, this time I went ahead while operating under Windows 7 to install into my already existing Windows 7 the set of Boot Camp drivers from the Snow Leopard installation disk. The installation seemed to go well, but it then hung up and never continued when it tried to install the Intel chipset driver. An an hour had passed with no further progress. Thus I force-shutdown the computer, and Windows then never opened until I restarted under safe mode. After that when I would restart Windows 7 "normally", I found also that the Apple wireless keyboard under BootCamp no longer was recognized. The "normal" slow booting of Windows 7 still remained.
Because of I was not sure just what all might have been messed up, and because I am waiting for new versions of several programs that I use to be made as versions compatible with Snow Leopard, I reformatted the complete drive (Both partitions were merged into 1), and then I reinstalled Leopard on a freshly prepared drive, followed by newly installing Windows 7 on a new BootCamp partition. Both systems were fresh installs on a freshly prepared drive and partitions. These were not from clones of the previous installations. This time I did not try to install any drivers from the Leopard disk. The slow booting of Windows 7 continues.
Things I have suspected might cause the slow booting:
1. Boot order of the Windows partition may be set to look for a CD-ROM before booting from the Windows 7 on the BootCamp Partition. To solve this, I have tried to open the BIOS on startup of Windows 7 in order to set the boot order. I am not sure which function key to press, but in trying several, I have gotten a DOS screen that shows Windows 7 as an option, but nothing else. When I select "Advanced", I get a list that includes "Safe Mode", "Boot Logging", and other items, but not anything for boot order.
2. The drivers for BootCamp might not yet be made for Windows 7, and I need to wait until these are so that these can be installed. After such, then maybe the slow startup might be fixed?
3. Possibly my Firewire backup drive interferes (permanently?) with the Windows startup process, because after I use Windows and then go back to OS X, the backup drive (Maxtor OneTouch III firewire drive) will not load on the MacIntosh desktop until I unplug the firewire from both the computer and the Maxtor drive and unplug the power cable to the backup drive, followed by replugging all of this in. (Note: The backup drive is formatted for Macintosh and is never seen as a drive in "My Computer" or in "Network Places" when I operate Windows 7).
Are you able to help/ Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Extra comments;
I also tried the following, which did not fix the startup (*Once up, Windows works well!*):
1. Checked for file and disk errors (ckdsk?? on startup).
2. Purged temporary internet and other temporary files (using internet options and disk cleanup utilities)
3. Cleared out Prefetch files.
4. Emptied trash.
5. Under "msconfig", I found 4 items there as startup items. I disabled Adobe Reader and Quicktime helpers, leaving only thus 2 startup items of the 4 enabled (Bulldog and some Microsoft thing).
6. Defragmented.
No better results.
Sincerely,
Wilson

Having difficulty in Win 8.1 changing boot order drive at the Bios level

My desktop computer has 32GB of DDR3-1600Mhz Memory plus a 128GB SSD boot drive "C" and 2 2TB SATA drives and finally a 1TB Sata drive.
My problem is that the 128GB SSD drive is maxed out space wise. I want to change the boot drive to the 1TB drive, but when I go into the Bios, and slect "Boot Order" it only lists two CD Rom drives and "Windows Boot Manager". If i go out to look at available drives, it shows all my drives. How the heck can I select the 1TB drive to become the boot drive if its not even listed under "Boot Drives"?
Using disk partitioning software, it advises that before copying everything over from the boot SSD drive to the new 1 TB drive, I should change the boot drive so that when it starts up again, it will go directly to the correct drive.
Thanks so much,
Ken

That is impressive for a OEM. However, I think it is probably not a good idea to try to make a different drive the boot drive. Typically with a unit set up like that, the SSD is only used for essentially the OS and special programs that need the extra speed of the SSD. Then use the other drives for data and nonessential ( for speed ) software. About the only advice I can give is to reassess the way software is installed to get some things off the SSD or replace the SSD with a larger capacity unit. I think switching boot drives will be a nightmare you will not enjoy.

Changing Boot Order on Dual Boot Windows 8 and Ubuntu

Hi there,
Recently got a HP Pavilion g6 2213sa which came with Windows 8 (spit!) and this disgusting UEFI BIOS replacement (double spit!).
Anyway, I need to dual boot Ubuntu on my system, so I installed Ubuntu. Normally, on a non UEFI system, a "Grub" bootloader installed by Linux would take over the startup process, and allow you to choose between either Windows 8 or Ubuntu on startup.
However, on this computer, startup is just booting straight to Windows 8 despite the fact that Ubuntu and Grub IS installed.
Now, upon startup, if I press F9, then I get to change the boot-device on a one-time basis. I can either select "OS Boot Manager", which loads Windows 8, or "Ubuntu" which loads the Grub bootloader which allows me to select Windows 8 or Ubuntu.
However, when I press F10 to enter the Bios Setup with the intention of changing the boot order permanently, the Ubuntu option isn't there. Instead it has OS Manager, USB Disk, CD Rom, USB CD Rom and Network Card.
Thanks, HP for, the crappily designed BIOS.
Anyway, can anyone PLEASE provide me a way of changing the boot order so that GRUB is loaded first and NOT this crap Windows 8 rubbish (that I would happily bin if I didn't need it for work).

There is the same problem in HP 2000 laptops (in my case specifically, HP 2000-2D22DX). I did some investigation using trial and error, and this is what I found out:
There is some sort of a "recovery feature" or so that on every boot sets the very first UEFI load option to point to one of the two locations, in this order:
\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi
\EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi
This option is displayed as "OS boot Manager" (for the first path) and something akin to "UEFI partition" for the second path, completely ignoring the actual name given to it (when you look at the EFI variables through efibootmgr, you can see that what is displayed as "OS boot Manager" actually is set to the name "Windows Boot Manager"; why anyone would do such renaming is beyond me). If you try to change the boot order so that this slot isn't the first, the UEFI will overwrite the BootOrder variable on next boot and reset it to point to "OS boot Manager" anyway.
By default, both of the paths above contain the same Microsoft bootloader (if you check the md5sum of both, you'll see they match).
So, until HP releases an updated UEFI that allows turning this "feature" off or rearranging boot options through the F10 UEFI setup, this is what you can do to get dual boot with the least amount of hackiness:
In Windows, mount the UEFI partition (mountvol S: /S mounts it as the S: drive) and copy the file \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi to use some other name (for example, I copied it to "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~", but you can change the name to anything else).
In the Windows command prompt, update the Windows UEFI entry to point to the new name: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi~ (adapt to your set name accordingly).
Optionally, change the name of the Windows boot loader so that you would be certain that it points to the new file location: bcdedit /set {bootmgr} description "Fixed Windows path"
Install the other OS. In my case the bootloader was installed into \EFI\opensuse\grubx64.efi.
Delete the two files, \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi and \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi.
Use efibootmgr to delete the "OS boot Manager" entry: sudo efibootmgr -b 0000 -B
Set the new OS bootloader to be the default bootloader by using efibootmgr with the -o option. In my case, I had an entry called "opensuse" in slot Boot0001 and the updated path Windows entry in slot Boot0002, so I had to do sudo efibootmgr -o 0001,0002
Update GRUB to point the Windows entry to your renamed file (you'll have to create a new file in /etc/grub.d and rerun grub-mkconfig).
And that's it, now the UEFI will boot GRUB by default (it won't regenerate the "OS boot Manager" entry since it won't be able to find either of the two hardcoded paths and will "fall back" to properly reading the BootOrder variable), and the F9 menu will still allow choosing to boot Windows directly.

Is this Oracle Reports bug – "break order property" in "group above" report

Is this Oracle Reports bug – “break order property” in "group above" report
Could anybody confirm that in "group above" report, we could only order the brake column's values with ""none" or "ascending" or "descending" provided by "break order property"?
In the following example, “Dept” is brake column. Oracle Reports allows us to order values in “Dept” with “descending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
or “ascending” provided by “break order property”:
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
I need to do:
Dept 20
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 10
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Dept 30
job ename salary
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
Could I do this? Could anybody confirm that we could never ever do this, or If yes, how?
Millions of thanks for advice.
M.Z.

Why should that be a bug? You have a custom requirement and have to find a way to fulfill it. But, what is your actual sorting order? Do you have only this three departments? If so, you could add an addtional column in your query like
DECODE(DEPT, 20, 1, 10, 2, 30, 3, 4) SORTINGput that column in the same group as dept and sort after that new column.

How to change the boot order? Frustrated!!!

Guys, I feel stupid. A frustrating place to be. Please bear with me if I am doing something stupid. I added a mSata second drive. Works fine. Lenovo X220, Bios 1.16. PC boots from the new drive. I don't want an operating system on the new drive, just want it for storage. So I entered the bios by pushing the blue thinkvantage button and can't find a way to permanently change boot order. I hit F12 to TEMPORARILY change boot order, every time I boot the PC. Major PAIN! I tried to enter the Intel Boot Extension Management Engine, but it needs a password and I don't have a password. Any thoughts?

That is not the boot list. Select >Boot to get the boot list. You're looking in the wrong place.

U300s: Cannot access BIOS to change boot order

I was dual booting Windows 8.1 Update and Ubnutu 14.04
From the windows disk manager I deleted all Ubuntu partitions and rebooted my notebook. I was immediatlly present with the grub rescue promt. Normally this is a quick and easy fix, by booting a windows USB/CD and repairing the windows MBR.
My problem is I can't access the bios or the boot menu to change the boot order. Nothing I've tried has let me get into the bios to set my USB stick as the first boot option.
Using the small recovery key button on the side of the notebook which normally boots the notebook to the screen where you can choose which drive to boot does the same as the power button. There is no bios flash screen or abililty to press any keys before getting to the grub screen.
I've drained the battery and left over night hoping this would reset the state it seems to be stuck in but that also did nothing.
Here is a short video showing what happens when I boot the notebook http://youtu.be/2FpC2Deuawk

I think the problem is in deleting Ubuntu. According to this video after the deletion of the Ubuntu partitions they must be combined back to the Windows partition.

Re: Satellite A210-10A, crashes when changing boot order

Hello,
I have a serious problem with my Toshiba laptop, Windows Vista 32bit, 1.8Ghz, 2Gb RAM, AMD Turion 64 x2
There is one hard disk partitioned as two 75Gb drives (C and E).
The problem is that, whenever I enter the Boot menu (to boot from CD), or if I change within the BIOS the boot order and then restart, the computer crashes (power cuts off suddenly).
Then the only way to recover, is to plug out the AC/DC adapter, wait 5 min, and start again. Then, either everything goes on normally, or Windows system recovery launches, after what it will reboot and work fine.
It might be important to know that I repartitioned the E drive to have 30Gb for installing Win7 later on. The annoying thing is that I never tried changing the boot order before repartitioning, so I don't know whether it has something to do with the problem or if it was there before.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated.
Thank you,

It looks like the Bios related issue. Have you tried to update it or reflash?

Maybe this took place before but you didn't check.

Question about modifying the boot order for Lenovo Yoga

I created a bootable USB for crash recovery. How do I configure the Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro boot order so that it boots from USB first? Is there some function key I need to press while the laptop is booting up to get some kind of boot screen?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I had used the "Create a recovery drive" option. You find this tool by pressing the windows key and typing in recovery drive, and clicking on the Settings category. This launches the Create a recovery drive application. This tool apparently copies over the recovery partition from the hard drive. Thanks a lot for your help. I will try to press the button on top of the power button and see if I can set it up to boot from the recovery usb drive.

A45-S120 - WinXP corrupted, unable to change boot order to restore from DVD recovery medium

I have a Toshiba A45-S120 laptop that has previously worked fine. I hadn't turned it on for several weeks. When I tried last week, after the WinXP splash screen came up, the progress bar completed one pass and then the video froze and showed a ghosted image of the WinXP logo off to the right of the real one and the two images were displayed in alternating vertical stripes, almost as thought you were looking through vertical blinds. At that point, there was no further boot progress.
Pressing Esc got me into the BIOS page, so it doesn't appear that there was a hardware video problem. The only options that I can could in the BIOS were the time and password (which is not set). With the recovery DVD in the drive, I couldn't get the system to boot to the CD/DVD drive no matter what I did. I tried all the suggestions of F12, F2, etc., and nothing highlighted any of the row of icons across the bottom of the Toshiba spalsh screen. When I booted, unless I pressed Esc, the system recognized the failed Windows boot and went into the text screen giving me all the safe mode start options.
After typing the above, I had one other thought - to try to force the issue, I replaced the hard drive with one that should have been blank but I got the same louvered WinXP logo. Thinking maybe I had a drive that wasn't blank as it should be, I tried a known blank drive. Now I get no response from the system at all when I try to power it on, even when swapping back to either of the other hard drives.
Is this stuff symptomatic of a dying system or is there something I can do to resurrect it and force the DVD restore somehow? Refurbishing desktops is a hobby of mine but I haven't had much experience with troubleshooting and repairing laptop issues, so thanks in advance for any pointers.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, I have good news and confusing news to report...
The dongle worked as advertised. I booted with it installed, powered down and removed it, then restarted the machine. I was able to change the boot device and enter BIOS with the ability to change the boot order, etc.
I then ran the recovery process. The ghosted image restored and then, when the machine restarted, I got the same problem that started it all... the WinXP splash screen came up, the progress bar completed one pass and then the video froze and showed a ghosted image of the WinXP logo off to the right of the real one and the two images were displayed in alternating vertical stripes, almost as thought you were looking through vertical blinds. There were also 4 or 5 thin vertical stripes that were flashing as though video was being displayed though them like it used to if you used an older monitor with a new system that couldn't display things properly. At that point, there was no further boot progress.
In order to do a bit more troubleshooting, I booted the system with a live Linux CD - it booted and ran OK. I then tried installing Ubuntu. It started and then the screen went wonky again, with pixellating lines all over. I then repartitioned it, ran scandisk on the hard drive overnight (no errors), and reran the recovery process. Same shadow image when the XP splash screen appears - and it does this both during the ordinary booting process as well as during an attempted safe mode boot.
As I was typing the above, I remembered one other thing I meant to try. I reset the BIOS to default values and reran the recovery process - still a messed up WinXP splash screen after the progress bar makes 2 or 3 passes.
If anyone has ideas, I'd be grateful for the help.
