Place Voting files in Quorum failgroup or Regular failgroup ?

About the concept of quorum failgroup ORACLE says:
QUORUM disks, or disks in quorum failure groups, cannot contain any database files,
the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR), or dynamic volumes. However, QUORUM disks
can contain the voting file for Cluster Synchronization Services (CSS). Oracle ASM
uses quorum disks or disks in quorum failure groups for voting files whenever
possible.
To sum up, i think the different between a regular failgroup and a quorum failgroup is a quorum failgroup can only contain vote files and a regular one can contains multiple kinds of files.
So i didn't see any advantage to place voting files on a quorum failgroup than on a regular one. Why Oracle introduce the concept of quorum failgroup ?
Thx in advance.

Why Oracle introduce the concept of quorum failgroup ?
You should configure odd number of voting disks because far as voting files are concerned, a node must be able to access more than the half of the voting files at any time (simple majority). In order to be able to tolerate a failure of n voting files, one must have at least 2n+1 configured. (n= number of voting files) for the cluster.
If you lose 1/2 or more of all of your voting disks, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes kick themselves out of the cluster.
For this reason when using Oracle for the redundancy of your voting disks, Oracle recommends that customers use 3 or more voting disks.
If you are using only one (1) Storage H/W and it's fail. Whole cluster goes down including all voting disk does not matter the number configured.
The problem in a stretched cluster (RAC Extended ) configuration is that most installations only use two storage systems (one at each site), which means that the site that hosts the majority of the voting files is a potential single point of failure for the entire cluster. If the storage or the site where n+1 voting files are configured fails, the whole cluster will go down, because Oracle Clusterware will loose the majority of voting files.
To prevent a full cluster outage, Oracle will support a third voting file on an inexpensive, lowend standard NFS mounted device somewhere in the network. Oracle recommends putting the NFS voting file on a dedicated server, which belongs to a production environment.
So, you will create a file on NFS "cooked file" (as disk) and present to ASM. From this point ASM does not know which ASMDISK is on Network (wan) and it's a "cooked file".
Then you must mark that ASMDISK as QUORUM, because Oracle will use that ASMDISK only to store VOTEDISK. This will prevent store data (such as database files) on it causing perfomance problem or dataloss.

ASM Quorum Failgroup Setup is Mandatory for Normal and High Redundancy?

Hi all,
Since I have worked with version 11.2 I had a concept about Quorum Failgroup and its purpose, now reading the documentation 12c I'm confuse about some aspect and want your views on this subject.
My Concept About Quorum Failgroup:
The Quorum Failgroup was introduced in 11.2 for setup with Extended RAC and/or for setup with Diskgroups that have only 2 ASMDISK using Normal redundancy or 3 ASMDISK using High redundancy.
But if we are not using Extended RAC and/or have a Diskgroup Normal Redundancy with 3 or more ASMDISK or Diskgroup High Redundancy with 5 or more ASMDISK the use of Quorum Failgroup is optional, most like not used.
==============================================================================
Documentation isn't clear about WHEN we must to use Quorum Failgroup.
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/CWLIN/storage.htm#CWLIN287
7.4.1 Configuring Storage for Oracle Automatic Storage Management
2. Choose the Oracle ASM redundancy level to use for the Oracle ASM disk group.
Except when using external redundancy, Oracle ASM mirrors all Oracle Clusterware files in separate failure groups within a disk group. A quorum failure group, a special type of failure group, contains mirror copies of voting files when voting files are stored in normal or high redundancy disk groups. If the voting files are in a disk group, then the disk groups that contain Oracle Clusterware files (OCR and voting files) have a higher minimum number of failure groups than other disk groups because the voting files are stored in quorum failure groups.
A quorum failure group is a special type of failure group that is used to store the Oracle Clusterware voting files. The quorum failure group is used to ensure that a quorum of the specified failure groups are available. When Oracle ASM mounts a disk group that contains Oracle Clusterware files, the quorum failure group is used to determine if the disk group can be mounted in the event of the loss of one or more failure groups. Disks in the quorum failure group do not contain user data, therefore a quorum failure group is not considered when determining redundancy requirements in respect to storing user data.
As mentioned in documentation above, I could understand that in ANY diskgroup that use Normal or High Redundancy MUST have a Quorum failgroup. (does not matter what setup)
In my view, if a Quorum Failgroup is used to ENSURE that a quorum of the specified failure groups are available, then we must use it, in other words is mandatory.
What's your view on this matter?
==============================================================================
Another Issue:
Suppose the following scenario (example using NORMAL Redundancy).
Example 1
Diskgroup Normal Redundancy with 3 ASMDIKS.
DSK_0000 - FG1 (QUORUM FAILGROUP)
DSK_0001 - FG2 (REGULAR FAILGROUP)
DSK_0002 - FG3 (REGULAR FAILGROUP)
The ASM will allow create only one Quorum Failgroup, and two Regular Failgroup ( a failgroup to each asm disk)
Storing Votedisk on this diskgroup the all three asmdisk will be used one votedisk in each asm disk.
Storing OCR on this diskgroup the two Regular Failgroup will be used, only one OCR and primary extents and mirror of its extents accross two failgroup. (quorum failgroup will not be used to OCR)
Example 2
Diskgroup Normal Redundancy with 5 ASMDIKS.
DSK_0000 - FG1 (REGULAR FAILGROUP)
DSK_0001 - FG2 (REGULAR FAILGROUP)
DSK_0002 - FG3 (QUORUM FAILGROUP)
DSK_0003 - FG4 (QUORUM FAILGROUP)
DSK_0004 - FG5 (QUORUM FAILGROUP)
The ASM will allow create up to three Quorum Failgroup, and two Regular Failgroup.
Storing Votedisk on this diskgroup the all three QUORUM FAILGROUP will be used. REGULAR FAILGROUP will not be used.
Storing OCR on this diskgroup the two Regular Failgroup will be used, only one OCR and primary extents and mirror of its extents accross two failgroup. (none quorum failgroup will not be used to OCR).
This right here below is confuse to me.
https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/CWLIN/storage.htm#CWLIN287
7.4.1 Configuring Storage for Oracle Automatic Storage Management
2. Choose the Oracle ASM redundancy level to use for the Oracle ASM disk group.
The quorum failure group is used to determine if the disk group can be mounted in the event of the loss of one or more failure groups.
Normal redundancy: For Oracle Clusterware files, a normal redundancy disk group requires a minimum of three disk devices (two of the three disks are used by failure groups and all three disks are used by the quorum failure group) and provides three voting files and one OCR and mirror of the OCR. When using a normal redundancy disk group, the cluster can survive the loss of one failure group.For most installations, Oracle recommends that you select normal redundancy disk groups.
High redundancy: For Oracle Clusterware files, a high redundancy disk group requires a minimum of five disk devices (three of the five disks are used by failure groups and all five disks are used by the quorum failure group) and provides five voting files and one OCR and two mirrors of the OCR. With high redundancy, the cluster can survive the loss of two failure groups.
Documentation says:
minimum of three disk devices: two of the three disks are used by failure groups and all three disks are used by the quorum failure group for normal redundancy.
minimum of five disk devices: three of the five disks are used by failure groups and all five disks are used by the quorum failure group for high redudancy.
Questions :
What this USED mean?
How the all disk are USED by quorum failgroup?
This USED mean used to determine if the disk group can be mounted?
How Quorum Failgroup determine if a diskgroup can be mounted, what is the math?
Consider following scenery:
Diskgroup Normal Redundancy with 3 ASM Disks. (Two Regular failgroup and One Quorum Failgroup)
If we lost the Quorum failgroup group. We can mount that diskgroup using force option.
If we lost one Regular failgroup group. We can mount that diskgroup using force option.
We can't lost two Failgroup at same time.
If I don't use Quorum failgroup (i.e only Regular Failgroup) the result of test is the same.
I see no difference between use Quorum Failgroup and only Regular Failgroup on this matter.
======================================================================================
When Oracle docs says:
one OCR and mirror of the OCR for normal redundancy
one OCR and two mirrors of the OCR for high redundancy
What this means is we have ONLY ONE OCR File and mirror of its extents, but oracle in documentation says 1 mirror of OCR (normal redundancy) and 2 mirror of OCR (high redudancy).
What is sound like? a single file or two or more files ?
Please don't confuse it with ocrconfig mirror location.

Hi Levi Pereira,
Sorry for the late answer. And as per 12c1 documentation, yes you are right, only the VD will be placed on the quorum fail groups:
The redundancy level that you choose for the Oracle ASM disk group determines how Oracle ASM mirrors files in the disk group, and determines the number of disks and amount of disk space that you require. If the voting files are in a disk group, then the disk groups that contain Oracle Clusterware files (OCR and voting files) have a higher minimum number of failure groups than other disk groups because the voting files are stored in quorum failure groups.
Managing Oracle Cluster Registry and Voting Files
Regarding your question "I want answer about is mandatory to use Quorum Failgroup when use Normal or High Redundancy?" No it isn't, I have a normal redundancy diskgroup that I store VD with no Quorum Failgroup, indeed, it would prevent you to store data on the disks within this kind of failgroup as per the documentation:
A quorum failure group is a special type of failure group that is used to store the Oracle Clusterware voting files. The quorum failure group is used to ensure that a quorum of the specified failure groups are available. When Oracle ASM mounts a disk group that contains Oracle Clusterware files, the quorum failure group is used to determine if the disk group can be mounted if there is a loss of one or more failure groups. Disks in the quorum failure group do not contain user data, therefore a quorum failure group is not considered when determining redundancy requirements in respect to storing user data.
Managing Oracle Cluster Registry and Voting Files
And as per the documentation, my answer are with red color:
Could you explain what documentation meant:
minimum of three disk devices: two of the three disks are used by failure groups and all three disks are used by the quorum failure group for normal redundancy.
how all three disk are used by the quorum failgroup? [I don't think this is correct, sounds a bit strange and it is the opposite for what is right before...]

Trying to restore bookmarks and get error msg windows can't open places.sqlite file. also get same message when trying to open json files for prev sessions.

Ibelieve remote user deleted cache and now I have no bookmarks. I have tried to reset firefox and was unable to do so. I tried to restore bookmarks through the places sqlite file and windows cannot open the file. I went to old firefox file on desktop and tried to open a previous version of bookmarks and windows could not open file. I still have bookmark toolbar and a lot of my categories bookmarks but they are all empty. My plugins are still there Can you tell me where to direct windows to open sqlite of json files?

To experiment more safely, could you create a new Firefox profile? The new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. If we get your bookmarks into the new profile successfully, you can create a backup and restore it in your regular profile.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Please do not delete anything in this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to choose a folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
If you have backups in the JSON format (e.g., bookmarks-2014...json) try to restore one to this TESTING profile. This article has the steps (you will need to use Choose File... to get to the backup):
[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Does that work and give you complete results?
If not, the next thing I would try is to drop in the places.sqlite file you have and see whether Firefox can read it properly.
First, open up a Windows Explorer window to this new profile folder. You can do that using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Got the list of files? Okay, leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit the browser, using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* File menu > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup -- you will see the timestamps update in the profile folder, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places.old and drop in the places.sqlite file you want to test.
Start Firefox back up again. Bookmarks?

I have a clickfree backup drive and don't know how to restore my previous bookmarks? I tried to copy the places.sqlite file from the backup drive to my compute

I have a clickfree backup drive and my computer crashed. I restored it to factory settings and reinstalled Firefox but cannot figure out how to get my old bookmarks back. I tried to replace the new places.sqlite file with the one I had on my backup drive but still got nothing? I tried to use the restore option but it won't take the old places.sqlite file. Is there anyway to get my old bookmarks? I'm really not a techy person.....
Thanks

Bookmark Backups
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press enter.
Under the page logo on the left side you will see '''Application Basics.'''
Under this find '''Profile Folder.''' To it’s right press the button
'''Show Folder.''' This will open your file browser to the current
Firefox profile. Now '''Close Firefox.'''
Enter the '''bookmarkbackups''' folder. This is where Firefox makes backups
of your bookmarks. Look for the '''jsonlz4''' file you want to restore
(check the time / date / size). Right click on that file and select '''Copy.'''
Now go back to the profile folder where you started. Rename the file
'''places.sqlite''' by adding '''.old''' to it. Now right click in the folder
and select '''Paste.''' The file you just pasted here, rename it to
'''places.sqlite.''' After you are done, restart Firefox.

How do I a recover and view old deleted internet history. places.sqlite file only goes back a month and I want to go back a year.

Ok... 100% honesty instead of making some story up; my boyfriend had an affair; mostly online. When I caught wind of this he mass cleared the whole internet history. This was at the end of august.
I have found the places.sqlite file using the manager add-on. BUT the old history is not there. There is history there from the last month and it shows me pages that were individually deleted but none of the old history is there. I want to go as far back as March 2013 if I can. My bf knows I am doing this and said he would give me any password I may need to do so.
I feel like Iv been living a lie for months and I want some piece of mind.
I need to make a big decision right now and seeing this history will help me.
Pleas tell me there is a way too do this?!?!?! I'm hanging by a thread here.

You can try to use recuva, but is unlikely to work, due to the large size of the places.sqlite file.
* http://www.piriform.com/recuva
* The green button is the free download.
Though your boyfriend may had been using private browsing too.
* [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
In the future, you can catch him with a history tracking like program, or parental controls.

There needs to be a place to file a complaint without having to post on the site.

Since I signed up in July of this year I have had nothing but problems with my bill. First they forgot to add my fios. After calling several times I was told the bill was in the mail. When I called back to see why I hadn't seen my bill (now September) I was told I couldn't be helped because I wasn't a fios customer. I was TRYING to be one. I had the boxes in my house. I simply wanted to PAY Verizon for service. A few weeks later I came home and my cable was turned off. My account had been canceled. After calling for days on end and sitting on the phone for an average of two hours a call it seemed no one had an idea what was going on. Finally tech was sent to my home to fix what was an offline problem. The tech walks in with NO IDEA that I had boxes and thought he was here for a simple installation.
Today, I was trying to pay my bill online, like I do ever month, and found my account was no long available for online bill pay. Really, Verizon??? I just want to pay you, you're making it very hard.
I asked where I could send a complaint and was told there was really no where to do that. At this point I am more than frustrated with Verizon. Unfortunately, I have no other option in the building where I live.
It's now November and I'm still dealing with this.
I just want a place to file a complaint. I don't want to post on some forum. I don't want to talk to someone in a call center who just wants to get me off the phone. I don't want to chat with a virtual representative. I was to speak with someone at Verizon who can listen to my complaints...of which there are many at this point.

Look for the "contact us" on the verizon pages. http://www22.verizon.com/content/contactus/
Almost all of the forums here are peer to peer. Some verizon admins will occasionaly step in and try to get you help. These admins are usually not able to solve problems for you themselves, but can sometimes give advise or get you in contact with someone who can.

A cleaning utility deleted my browsing history! My fault! I want to re-open the old pages and tabs. The info may be in an old "sessionstore.js" or "places.sqlite" file but these are huge and some URLS are written backwards. Where do I start please?

I have copied "places.sqlite" and given it a .txt extension, then opened in Wordpad - but it's huge - I don't know what order it's in and many of the URLS are written backwards - like "moc.smooretal.www" instead of "www.laterooms.com."
Similarly there are several numbered versions of sessionstore.js in the profile and these can be opened with a text editor too. But if I simply substitute the current sessionstore.js file with an older (numbered) one in the profile, Firefox seems to ignore it.
So:
1. Is there a method of re-installing the "history" sites list or "previously opened pages and tabs" from the 'places.sqlite' file, or from a previous sessionstore.js file (and if so how do I go about it ?)
2. If not, is there an alternative source of browsing history back-up which I can use or
3. If not that either, is there at least a way of reversing the backwards text so I can read the URLs and copy/paste them?
All knowledgeable help much appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Peter

Firefox has other backups it makes automatically, unfortunately your cleaning utility may have wiped them.
#First step backup manually whatever you have
#*''' edit''' <s>[[backing up and restoring backups]]</s> [[backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
#Second step find and copy all of your profile folder and all the sub files and sub folders
## easiest method of finding it is Help -> Troubleshooting Information -> Profile [Open containing folder] The places.sqlite is a database that contains all your bookmarks and history, if this exists and is not corrupt then your bookmarks library should work and allow you to create backups.
##*see [[backing up your information]]
## put it somewhere safe your Windows desktop will do
.JSON files are the backup files, either created manually or by firefox
sessionstore.js files probably are of little use to you, containing only the tabs & windows from recent close downs, not the full history and bookarks.
Now that any existing files are safe try to see if any backups exist that firefox created automatically
* these would be in a folder within the profile
* they can most easily be used by opening the bookmarks library, as explained in the article linked above.

How do I place my files on a separate hard drive from the system drive with OS X?

I have a mac pro and want to place my files on a seperate hard drive to the system. Can anybody please ad vise me what I have to do to achieve this. My OS X is Lion 10.7.5

Drag and drop will normally work if the separate hard drive is formatted right:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3003
Mind you, an external hard drive is the ideal way of backing up data. Software such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Time Machine can be used for backing up, and is much faster than using the Finder for drag and drop, and will ensure the entire system gets backed up.
Time Machine offers whole unbootable system backup with archiving. Each archive has a temporary existence as long as the backups are automatic. When you make them manual, you can copy them off to a non-time machine source to ensure they exist longer. The larger your destination drive, the longer the archives last.
Carbon Copy Cloner is used most often for clones, and it maintains an exact replica of the original, deleting anything the original had deleted on the copy that it makes, and its backups are bootable when they are successful. It offers archiving options, but they aren't as transparent as Time Machine.
Firewire 800 is faster than USB 2. PCI eSATA and Thunderbolt cards are faster. The ability to boot the PCI based cards varies by card. But the SATA drives can be inserted internally if you want them to be boot. Some SATA drives need a jumper to be able to be read by your 1.1's slower internal SATA bus speed. Check with the hard drive vendor. USB 3 cards exist as well, though I've heard USB 3 has difficulty with WiFi interferance.

How to Place a file on application server in XML format

Hi,
1. convert your internal table data to XML format using function module SAP_CONVERT_TO_XML_FORMAT.
2. Convert the XML data into Xstring format using Function module SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING. pass the file size got from the step 1 in importing parameter.
3. loop on the internal table got from the step 2 and use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER AND CLOSE DATASET

Can't place PDF file in Photoshop

I used to be able to place PDF files into a Photoshop file (PSD), but now I get an error reading:
Cannot place the document 'Document Name.pdf' because of a program error.
It does not tell me what the error is or how to correct it.
I recently uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop because of a different issue, so I'd rather not go through that process again if it's unnecessary.
PC
Windows 7 Professional
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9500
8 GB of RAM
64-bit Operating System
Photoshop CC 2014.2.1

I updated my question to include additional info.
The PDF saving process is the same. The PDF type, how it was saved, what it was created in, never used to make a difference - not sure why it would now?
I can open the file with Photoshop, just can't place it into a PSD. Photoshop does not have issues placing images and other assets. It only has an issue with PDFs.

Place Excel file and keep accurate formatting

In my organization, InDesign is used for creating several rather comprehensive price lists (500 pages and more ...).
Needless to say, each price list contains a lot of tables. Currently we
create tables in Excel,
save it as pdf file and
place the pdf in InDesign
Of course, that's cumbersome (no Edit Original command --> each modification in the original table restarts the above mentioned process) - that gives us a hard time dealing with hundreds of tables...
It would be ideal to place Excel files directly - but after hours of trial & error I'm still not able to insert a table AND keep the accurate Excel-formatting. There are always some smaller or bigger deviations (unexpected line breaks, overset content, wrong line-styles, colors etc.)
What I did:
Enabled "Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files" in the File Handling Preferences
Enabled "Import Options" when placing the Excel file
Choosed "Formatted Table"
It seems that some older xls files are more likely to raise problems. Newly-created xlsx files are fine most of the time (saving xls to xlsx doesn't make a difference though).
What are your experiences on importing excel files? Thanks for any hint!
Regards,
Florian

Thanks, Willi.
The reason why we currently place our tables as PDF is, that we want to avoid any additional setup in InDesign. In fact we use InDesign "merely" to place & arrange all objects like tables, images, text etc. properly. There is no editing or formatting of content done in InDesign (Excel-spreadsheets are well-designed anyway) - I think otherwise our loads of price lists for different countries wouldn't be manageable at the moment ...
I'm just looking for a way to keep the advantage of placing PDFs (retain accurate form) and eliminate the disadvantages (additional step of saving each spreadsheet as PDF and lack of the "Edit Original" option).
Any ideas are appreciated!
Florian

How can i use the same communication channel to place the file in 2 differe

Hello Guys,
We have a requirement where I need to archive the file that i am sending to the legacy FTP server in a Idoc to file scenario.
How can i place the file in 2 different locations. In this case place the file in the FTP server and a copy of it in the local NFS folder.

Rajeev,
You can use an ftp job and save it on XI's folder.
Process the file into tmp directory on local file system and run operating system command to run ftp job to send the file to your file server and then copy the file to your archive folder and then delete the file from tmp.
This should solve your problem.
