Physically moving the FCI in an FCI+AG... Methods to keep quorum?

Currently I have a two node FCI using a Node and Disk Majority quorum, both nodes are physical servers. An AlwaysOn AG was configured within that FCI. I have two stand-alone nodes, both VMs, that can hold the AOAG but not any of the FCI
resources because of course they don't share the physical disks being presented to the two physical FCI nodes. One of the two standalone VM nodes is located in a remote DR location. I need to physically move the original two FCI nodes and the shared
storage those two share to the same remote DR location.
Now obviously the cluster has 4 nodes and a quorum disk for a total of 5 votes. When the two physical nodes get shut off to get trucked to the DR location, the quorum disk is going along with them so the cluster will shut down completely as 3 of 5
votes are now offline. I see three possible solutions to prevent the AOAG from staying down for the duration of the physical move:
After failing over the AOAG to the remote DR site node:
1.) Shut down the cluster. Force quorum on the DR site's node. Once the physical servers are in place at the DR site, shut down the cluster and start it back up normally since all 5 votes are back online. This of course causes two
outages (in addition to the outage caused by the initial AOAG failover to the remote DR node), one to shut down the cluster and force quorum, and one more outage to shut the cluster down and return it to normal.
2.) Change the current cluster to Node and File Share Majority with the file share pointing to a share that will be available while the two physical nodes and their shared storage are in transit. This results in 3 of 5 votes (2 nodes + share)
staying alive and thus the cluster stays up and never goes down. Once the two physical nodes are back online, can either return quorum config back to Node and Disk Majority or simply leave it Node and File Share Majority, old quorum disk can now be removed
if the latter.
3.) Change the NodeWeight value on the remote DR node to be 3 which increases the total number of votes to 7. When the physical nodes and quorum disk are taken offline, 4 of 7 votes (node 1 = 1 vote, node 2 = 3 votes) stay alive and the cluster
stays up and never goes down. When the two physical servers and quorum disk are back online, return all nodes back to 1 vote each.
Any recommendation as to which method would be the best? I am leaning towards #2 or #3 as it would seem they would require less outages. Or maybe a 4th option that would be a combination of 2 and 3, like replacing the quorum disk with a file
share and changing NodeWeight to 2 on one of the two VMs. I would like to get rid of the quorum disk as it is really only shared between the two physical nodes whereas the file share would be shared between all 4 nodes.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

You will want to use option 2.
Option 3 doesn't work because NodeWeight can only be 0 or 1.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/jj151966(v=vs.90).aspx That info is for Windows 2012 and I know that Windows 2012 R2 will throw an error if you try and set it higher than 1. Not sure about 2008 with the hotfix. I don't have a 2008 cluster to test
but it MIGHT allow you to set the value higher without the error but I don't know that it would honor the setting if it allowed it at all.
Option 1 requires an outage as you pointed out so I would avoid that if possible.
I would recommend you keep the file share witness. In your situation node and file share quorum would be considered the best practice.
If you have multiple sites you would generally put the file share at the primary site and remove votes (set nodeweight = 0) at the DR site. DR site failover would then only be used with manual failover and loss of the DR node would not impact quorum. Of
course, like all things, it depends on where the client connections are coming from, network reliability, etc. If client connections come from the primary site then the file share should be at the primary site as well to prevent an external outage from impacting
quorum. Also this assumes that when you say "DR" you mean DR and not just another failover node.

Using the transition manager on a movie clip prevents me from physically moving it after that

Hi,
I'm using the transitions manager to animate certain objects
in my movie. let's say I'm using it on a ball - using the following
code:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function zoomIn(_mc) {
new Tween(_mc, "_xScale", Bounce.easeOut, 0, 100, .3, true);
new Tween(_mc, "_yScale", Bounce.easeOut, 0, 100, .3, true);
function zoomOut(_mc) {
new Tween(_mc, "_xScale", None.easeIn, this._xscale, 0, .05,
true);
new Tween(_mc, "_yScale", None.easeIn, this._xscale, 0, .05,
true);
and then calling it later with this:
zoomIn(ball_mc);
That works fine. But at a later stage of the movie I then try
to move the location of the ball - not with code but by adding a
key frame and physically moving it's location. When I play the
movie back it does not show that it moves.
I'd really just like to know why this is!
Thanks,
Ray

I think that once the Tween plays, the ball_mc, now resides
in it's final resting place, it might do this with all instances of
the mc, interesting though. I would have thought the same, maybe if
you move it and give it a different instance name it will not
effect the position on the new keyframe.

How do you move an Event Library without moving the physical media

I've got a large library of media that needs to be organized, with new keywords. I have multiple people on different computers attacking portions of the media all stored on a single raid, accessed via gigabit ethernet. When the libraries are created on each computer, the media is kept in it's original place. Because the drive is networked, FCP X won't let me place the Event Library on the drive, though I can access the media. It will also not let me move or duplicate the libraries to the networked drive. If I connect a drive locally, I can move, copy or duplicate the Event Library, but, here's the problem, instead of copying the alias' to the media, and keeping it like the original event library, it copies the full media into the new library, unnecessarily.
Has anybody found how to copy the Copy, Move or Duplicate the Event Libraries without moving the actual media to the new Library? I'd like to copy the new libraries to the networked drive where the media is stored and then relink the files. Then I could merge each computers Library into a master library.
Does that make sense to anybody? There has to be a way to stop FCP X from unnecessarily copying the media.

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but - Did you uncheck 'Copy files to Final Cut Events Folder' when importing into your project?

I go to "clip adjustments" and change the length of a photo. It reverts back to original length. I also shorten it by moving the yellow "box" around a specific clip. It still reverts back to original length. Why?

Excel Upload and moving the data to dynamic itab

Hi Folks,
I am building a fieldcatalog dynamically based on the table name and then creating a dynamic internal table based on the fieldcatalog.Now I have a excel sheet having the fields in the same structure as the fieldcatalog that I built.I want to upload the data in the excel to an internal table having the structure of the fieldcatalog I built.I am having a problem in moving the data from the excel to the itab (dynamic itab built based on the fieldcatalog)
1.Building the fieldcatalog.
data:gt_fieldcat    TYPE lvc_t_fcat.
ls_fieldcat-tabname    = p_tabname.
ls_fieldcat-fieldname = p_fieldname.
ls_fieldcat-inttype    = 'C'.
ls_fieldcat-outputlen = wa_dfies-outputlen.
ls_fieldcat-coltext    = wa_dfies-fieldtext.
APPEND: ls_fieldcat TO gt_fieldcat.
CLEAR : ls_fieldcat.
2.Building the dynamic itab
DATA:gp_table       TYPE REF TO data.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_table> TYPE table,
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = gt_fieldcat
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = gp_table.
ASSIGN gp_table->* TO <gt_table>.
3.Now I have an excel with a similar structure with data.Uploading the excel data into itab.
DATA: g_t_xltab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_xltab,
      it_rawdata TYPE truxs_t_text_data,
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'

      i_filename           = xls_filename
    TABLES
      i_tab_converted_data = g_t_xltab[]
    EXCEPTIONS
      conversion_failed    = 1
      OTHERS               = 2.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
Endif.
*Move the data that got uploaded from excel into
*respective internal tables.
    LOOP AT g_t_xltab
    here I want move the data into an internal table having the structure I built using
    the fieldcatalog/dynamic itab ie    <gt_table>.
    Endloop.
I tried using ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index of <gt_table> and move-corresponding but in vain as I am not that much familiar with dynamic itab using field symbols.Kindly let me know how the excel data can be moved to dynamic itab.
Thanks,
K.Kiran.

Photoshop needs to be in the folder within Applications in which it was originally created. Put it back where you got it.
Did you actually complete the download process or were you maybe running from the .dmg that you downloaded?

Change the selection and try again."
Ive even tried opening in itunes and copying from thier but they wont open in Itunes, no message or anything they simple just dont open. its strange because it does open in quicktime player.
please if anyone has any ideas that can help me please let me know XD thanks.

First problem: You're fine. The hotter it gets, the more the fans spin up. The computer is designed so that at max load, at max fan speed, it won't overheat (unless it's obstructed by something, e.g. sitting on your bed swallowed by a comforter). It's not the best thing to keep it that toasty for days at a time, but a couple hours at a time shouldn't be a problem.
Second problem: If something in the trash won't delete, just use Secure Empty Trash and it should be fine. Since .torrent files are quite small, it should only take a couple seconds.

Why does moving the mouse over an IMAQ image display slow the GUI down so much?

I have a large application with several vi's running simultaneously under labview 8.6.1. When I mouse over an image display control in one of the vi's, everything slows down a shocking amount in all the other vi's. The windows task manager does not show a large increase in CPU use. My pc is has a quad cpu with 4GB of RAM, and the CPU and memory loads do not appear to be terribly taxing to the system. However, many of my vi's apparently come almost to a standstill if I just move the mouse in a circle around my image control.
This looks like it is largely a GUI display issue. If I make a new vi and put a while loop in it that only displays the iteration loop number to an indicator, I can see the iterating occurring, then stopping totally when I mouse inside the image display control. When I stop moving the mouse inside the control, or when I move it outside the control, the interation loop number jumps up, as if it had been incrementing behind the scenes the whole time. So only display of the interating was halted.
This problem occurs even if the vi with the image control is not executing. If the vi with the image control is open but not running, and I mouse over the image on it, the other guis all come to a screeching halt.
Does mousing in the image display control really utterly crush all other guis in all other labview windows? Is this an issue inherent to the image display control? If so, is there anything I can do about this?
Also, this issue is not entirely limited to display. I started looking at it in greater detail because this issue also exposed what I think is a race condition in my code. I have a vi that acquires an image from a ccd and puts it into an IMAQ image.ctl. This image then gets passed up to a vi up the call chain, and is put on a queue and sent over to be de-queued by a vi that has the image display control. Here's the kicker: when I mouse over the image display control, the image successfully gets acquired inside the subvi, and if I probe the wire leading to the output IMAQ image display.ctl, I see the image. If I simultaneously probe the wire coming out of the subvi one level up the call chain, the image gets lost about half the time. This only happens if I am mousing in the image display control IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND SEPARATE VI. If I bump up the priority of the ccd image acquisition vi to 'highest priority', the problem only happens about 1% of the time, and I really have to mouse around to make it happen. Still, it's disturbing that mousing in the GUI in one window results in a failure of a separate subvi to simply pass an image up the call chain. I understand that IMAQ images are referenced rather than passed by value, but I don't see why there should be a failure to pass the image up the call chain. I've looked for a race condition, but can't find one.
Eric

I have finally been able to replicate the behavior that you are seeing on another computer once the image was large enough. Here are a few notes about this behavior:
First. The UI only slows down when the images are large, 16 bit images. The reason why this is unique to 16 bit images is that they can only be displayed on the front panel as 8 bit images. The workaround that Weiyuan suggested to change the 16 bit display mapping hints towards the root of the problem...that any time a mouse runs over the indicator, Windows asks the entire image to re-draw (having a separate indicator overlapping the image will create the same behavior). With a 16 bit image, not only does the image have to re-draw on the screen but the 16 bit pixels need to be mapped to 8 bits. When setting the 16 bit display mapping to Full Dynamic, this requires mor computation/pixel than 90% dynamic or one of the other mapping schemes.
This is expected behavior if your program is running and you're trying to display a large 16 bit image. To fix this behavior there are a couple options:
Change the 16 bit display mapping to something other than full dynamic. You can choose which 8 bits to display or if you want to map the bits.
Resize the image just for viewing purposes on your front panel (since you aren't going to view every single pixel of you image on the screen). You can use the IMAQ Resample.vi to do this. This will allow you to take your 1500x1500 pixel image and only display a 500x500 pixel version.
If you are interested in viewing small details of the large image, consider just displaying a smaller region of interest at a time.
Let me know if any of these solutions work for you. Good luck on your application.

How do I stream purchased movies to my Macbook Pro if I've already downloaded them and moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive and I'm away from home?

I recently added a number of movies to my iTunes library by redeeming digital copeis that came with Blu-rays. Due to limted disc space on my MacBook Pro, and for safe keeping, once I downloaded the movies, I moved the source files to an external desktop hard drive. When I'm home and I'm able to access that external HD via my home network, I'm able to watch the movies without an issue. However, if I'm away from home and I want to watch them, I'm not sure how to do that. I thought I could "stream" purchased movies from within iTunes - even after downloading them - using "iTunes in the Cloud" but can't figure out how to do that, or it simply isn't possible.
What are my options?

I understand that I can't play my downloaded movies when my external HDD is not connected becuase iTunes is looking for the downloaded files. This is not the issue. The issue is that because my HDD is not connected (as in when I'm away from home) I'd like to be able to stream the movies via the cloud.
If I hadn't downloaded the movies when I redeemed my codes, would I have been able to keep the movies online via Apple iCloud and watched them anytime by streaming them or must the movies be downloaded in order to be viewed on my MacBook? I read that Apple allows movies purchased (or redeemed) via iTunes to be stored in the cloud via Apple iCloud so that they can be viewed any time, on any device. IF this is the case, how does it work? From what I can see, it looks like movies can only be "streamed" from the cloud when useing Apple TV; on my iPhone and MacBook Pro, it looks like they need to be downloaded in order to be viewed.
Can someone clarify this for me?
Also - Michael - when you said that If I've already downloaded the film but I'm away from my external HDD I should "Delete the entry from the iTunes library so iTunes only sees the iTunes in the Cloud version", what exactly would this mean? Would this mean that I could then stream the movie from the cloud or would I have to re-download it to my Mac's internal HDD in order to watch it?
Many thanks!

A while ago, I moved the mobilesync path so that it would stop trying to backup onto my C drive. However, since then I moved some folders around which I think is the source of my error. I can no longer backup my iphone It just tells me that the backup is corrupted. When i go to preferences, devices, and look under backups it is empty. How do I fix this?

Howdy there mjspace1994,
It sounds like you are unable to backup your phone after moving the mobile sync folder from its default location. If moving it back manually does not resolve the issue, I would next use either of the following articles to remove iTunes from your computer and then re install it. The articles outline the proper order to remove them in, and step by step instructions:
Remove and Reinstall iTunes and other software components from Windows XP
Remove and reinstall iTunes and related software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Moving the iMovie app to an external drive

I currently download a lot of video each day into iMovie and I am constantly running into an issue where I am out of hard-drive disk space. It really limits how much video I can work on at one time. I called and spoke with a member of the Apple Support App Team and he advised that I move the iMovie app to an external hard drive to resolve the issue. I have since done that, but the video clips are still saving to my internal hard-drive instead of the external hard-drive where the app is. When I moved the iMovie app to the external hard-drive, I disconnected the external hard-drive and deleted the app from my internal hard-drive. After emptying the trash, I re-connected the external hard-drive and opened iMovie and began importing movie clips. A little while later, I ran Omni Disk Sweeper and all of the clips that I imported still show on my internal and meanwhile, the external's capacity is only showing the iMovie app itself and no clips. Any ideas on how I can route the clips to the external instead of my Mac's internal hard-drive?

Instead of moving the iMovie application, click here and follow the instructions.

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

Dear John,
thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.
