Oracle VM Server 2.2.1 FIle System Type

I have installed VM server 2.2.1, but i recently ran into disk size problems and want to resize. I have no space on the / partition and all my space on the /var/ovs/mount/"randomnumber". When i used the parted command "print" to see my partitions, the /var partition has no file system type such as ext3 or ext2. The / partition has ext3. Does anyone know why the /var/ovs/mount/"randomnumber" has no file system type because without this I can not resize the partition. Let me also say that when i installed VM server i pretty much took all the defaults so the partitions were created this way by default.
Thanks

  • OVM Manager 2.2.2: server pool error with file system type

    I'm just getting started with OVM. I've installed OVM on one machine and the manager on another.
    I created a server pool, which seemed to work OK but shows "Error" in the table under the "Server Pools" tab in the manager interface
    When I edit it I see
    Error: OVM-1011 OVM Manager communication with NNN.NNN.NN.NNN for operation Pre-check cluster root for Server Pool failed: <Exception: SR '/dev/sda3' not supported: type 'ocfs2.local' not in ['nfs', 'ocfs2.cluster']>
    Can anyone explain this? Does this mean I can't use a local file system in OVM 2.2.2? I understood this was the case with OVM 3, which is why I went with 2.2.2.
    Thanks.

  • Oracle Express Edition And Windows Encrypted File System (EFS)

    Hello,
    I want to use oracle express edition with windows encrypted file system. I tried some possibilities like encrypting xe folder. But connection can not be established when efs is used. Is there a compatibility problem between oracle xe and windows efs? On Oracle's page, it is declared that oracle database is compatible with Windows EFS.
    Thank you for help.

    Pl identify which version of Win 7 - 32-bit or 64-bit ? Home version or something else ?
    The 11g XE install is only available for 32-bit version of Win 7 Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17781_01/install.112/e18803/toc.htm#BABHICJH. If you are installing on 64-bit version or Home version of Windows, then you are on your own. What is the reason for enabling EFS on this database ?

  • Command To ID File System Type

    I was found a server running Arch. Powered on fine and seems to be running great. I was able to recover the root login however I would like to know what command I can run in a terminal to identify the file system type on the disk partitions.
    [root@tiger /]# fdisk -l
    Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes

    Does fdisk -l not supply you with what you were asking for? You could also use the command blkid, but it does not show the filesystem ID...

    Autodetection failed on your first image, in both your previous kernel installs:
    [2011-07-04 16:14] find: `/sys/devices': No such file or directory
    Which means that sysfs was not mounted. You should be able to boot from the fallback image, which does not use autodetect. Figure out why /sys isn't mounted, as well, and fix that.
    This is also a somewhat crappy bug in mkinitcpio that lets you create an autodetect image that's useless. It'll be fixed in the next version of mkinitcpio that makes it to core.

  • Uploaded Files stored in Oracle 10G database or in Unix File system

    Hey All,
    I am trying to understand best practices on storing uploaded files. Should you store within the database itself (this is the current method we are using by leveraging BLOB storage) or use a BFILE locator to use the files system storage (we have our DB's on UNIX) . . .or is there another method I should be entertaining? I have read arguments on both sides of this question. I wanted to see what answers forum readers could provide!! I understand there are quite a few factors but the situation I am in is as follows:
    1) Storing text and pdf documents.
    2) File sizes range from a few Kb to up to 15MB in size
    3) uploaded files can be deleted and updated / replaced quite frequently
    Right now we have an Oracle stored procedure that is uploading the files binary data into a BLOB column on our table. We have no real "performance" problems with this method but are entertaining the idea of using the UNIX file system for storage instead of the database.
    Thanks for the insight!!
    Anthony Roeder

    Anthony,
    First word you must learn here in this forum is RESPECT.
    If you require any further explanation, just say so.
    BLOB compared with BFILE
    Security:
    BFILEs are inherently insecure, as insecure as your operating system (OS).
    Features:
    BFILEs are not writable from typical database APIs whereas BLOBs are.
    One of the most important features is that BLOBs can participate in transactions and are recoverable. Not so for BFILEs.
    Performance:
    Roughly the same.
    Upping the size of your buffer cache can make a BIG improvement in BLOB performance.
    BLOBs can be configured to exist in Oracle's cache which should make repeated/multiple reads faster.
    Piece wise/non-sequential access of a BLOB is known to be faster than a that of a BFILE.
    Manageability:
    Only the BFILE locator is stored in an Oracle BACKUP. One needs to do a separate backup to save the OS file that the BFILE locator points to. The BLOB data is backed up along with the rest of the database data.
    Storage:
    The amount of table space required to store file data in a BLOB will be larger than that of the file itself due to LOB index which is the reason for better BLOB performance for piece wise random access of the BLOB value.

  • Oracle RAC binaries on vxfs shared file system

    Hi,
    Is it possible to install oracle binaries on vxfs cluster file system for oracle RAC under sun cluster? Because as I know we can not use vxfs cluster file system for our oracle datafiles.
    TIA

    The above post is incorrect. You can have a cluster (global) file system using VxVM and VxFS. You do not need to have VxVM/CVM for this. A cluster file system using VxVM+VxFS can be used for Oracle binaries but cannot be used for Oracle RAC data files where they are updated from both nodes simultaneously.
    If further clarification is needed, please post.

  • Unable to start oracle app server 10g through opmnctl file Red Hat linux

    Hi gurus,
    I have a VM (Red Hat Linux based). I am not able to start my application server 10g through opmnctl file (exists in opmn/bin folder).
    I open that folder opmn/bin through terminal and write the following command
    opmnctl startall
    nothing is happening... is there any way to start the server through GUI?
    can you please guide me.
    Thanks

    process has been started now..Please post the result of$ $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl status
    after that when I run the it from browser nothing is comming..Don't you get any error ?
    for app server admin i wrote http://pcname:port/
    This should work. Is port the correct one ? Check out $ORACLE_HOME/install/portlist.ini. Did you try IP address, instead of pcname ? Do you have any active firewall on your linux server ?
    for simple form run http://pcname:port/frmservlet/
    This one should be http://pcname:port/forms/frmservlet

  • What are the characteristics of the procfs file system type ?

    Hi Solaris guys,
    I walked through the Student Guide SA-239 to find information about procfs file system (/proc), but not yet. Could anyone here explain it for me ?
    1. File ownership is determined by the credentials of the process.
    2. It contains reference by file names to the opened files of the process.
    3. Each process ID named directory has files that contain more detailed information about the process.
    4. It contains a decimal number directory entry corresponding to a process ID.
    I wonder whether these characteristics are correct or not. Please help me.
    Thanks a lot !

    man -s4 proc
    or
    http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-0683/6mgff29c4?q=procfs&a=view
    Its a virual directory structure with a directory per process. These per process directories contain more directories and files that supply detailed information on that process eg per open file information.
    Access to the per process directories is controlled by checking the credentials of the accessing process against the credentials of the
    process whose procfs directory is being accessed.

  • Get the HDD file system type

    When you say path you mean you want the path to print out in your HTML? Is that accurate? If so you generally need to constructe that path based on the path to the current component. So if you component is located at /content/mysite/en/about/mypage/jcr:content/parsys/image then the path to the image would generally be something like /content/mysite/en/about/mypage/jcr:content/parsys/image.img.jpg/1283829292873.jpg. The .img. selector triggers the servlet associated with the foundation parbase - /libs/foundation/components/parbase/img.GET.java. The reason you reference it this way is that there is no filesystem path to the image - it is stored in the repository not on the file system, and it requires a servlet or script to ge the binary from the repository and steam it.
    Normally the way you'd construct this is to use the out of the box Image class - so look at /libs/foundation/components/image/image.jsp. Now this example assumes that your component where you loaded the image extends /libs/foundation/components/parbase. If it doesn't then you either have to change your sling:superResourceType to /libs/foundation/components/parbase or some other component that does exten /libs/foundation/components/parbase.

  • How can I access the oracle/sql server jdbc driver class files from my cust

    I have a war file in which I have custom DataSource i.e mypackage.Datasource class. Its basically the need of my application. In this class we connect to datasource and link some of our programming artifacts .
    I have deployed the oracle jdbc driver and deploy my application as ear with datasources.xml in the meta inf file. Inspite of that my code fails to load the jdbc driver classes.
    Here is the extract of the code :
            Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver").newInstance();
             String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@dataserver:1521:orcl";
            Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, "weblims3", "labware");
            if(conn != null){
              out.println("the connection to the database have been achieved");
            out.println("conn object achived= " + conn);
    Class.forname fails in this case. I can see the ojdbc5.jar the driver jar in usr\sap\CE1\J00\j2ee\cluster\bin\ext\ojdbc5  . I even put the ojdbc.jar in web-inf/lib and application lib but does not help at all. Hope I have explained my problem clearly.
    I deployed the jdbc driver in the name of ojdbc5 .
    I am stuck here. It will be great help if anyone can help me in this. Thanks in advance.

    Bent,
    You can access the database from your Java portlet, just like from any other Java/JSP environment. Yes, you can use JDBC, as well as BC4J.
    The Discussion Forum portlet was built using BC4J, take a look at it's source to see how it was done.
    Also, check out Re: BC4J Java portlet anyone?, it contains a lot of useful information too.

  • Question on File System Types

    Hi,
    I would like to have a dual boot Solaris 10, Windows system. I want to create a partition such that both systems can read and write to it.

    Best choice today is a FAT filesystem. It has limitations on file size and total size, but most operating systems can use it easily.

  • Regarding shared file system requirement in endeca server cluster

    Hi,
    Our solution involves running a single data domain in an endeca server cluster.
    As per the documentation, endeca server cluster requires shared file system for keeping index file for follower node to read.
    My questions are,
    Can I run the endeca cluster with out shared file system by having the index file on each node of the endeca server cluster?
    Can dependency on shared file system be a single point of failure, if yes how can it be avoided?
    I really appreciate your feedback on these questions.
    thanks,
    rp

    Hi rp,
    The requirement for a shared file system in the Endeca Server cluster is a must. As this diagram shows, the shared file system maintans the index, and also maintains the state of the Cluster Coordinator, which ensures cluster services (automatic leader election, propagation of the latest index version to all nodes in the data domain). A dependency on a shared file system can be a single point of failure and requires to run a backup, -- this is a standard IT approach, that is, it is not specific to the Endeca Server cluster in particular.
    See this section on Cluster Behavior, for info on how the shared file system is used (the topic "how updates are processed"), and on how increased availability is achieved.
