R12 - HP intel servers -Linux- SAN ... Which RAID !

Hello,
We are about to put everything together, r12 on HP linux intel server, HP 8000 SAN storage (mix of 16 and 32 GB Hardisks).
Now the r12 is out of the box, and the issue is how to chose which Raid to go with???
any recommendations? shouldnt we not reinvent the wheel? :)

R12 on Dell servers ???

Hi,
How is Oracle apps R12 on dell servers with EMC storage?
Till now I have always used hp or sun servers. On my new they are thinking of R12 upgrade with Dell servers?
Any input is apreciated.

Just get comfortable with Linux and you will be fine. I would go with 64-bit, otherwise you will have a 1.7 GB SGA limitation on 32-bit linux.

Which RAID Configuration for my WD "My Book Mirror Edition"?

About to reformat my WD "My Book Mirror Edition" to use on my iMac. I hope to also install on my iMac "Virtual Box", "VM Fusion", or "Parallels" and then run a few windows products. Which RAID configuration should I choose in the WD "drive configurations" box?

If I were you I'd run any Virtual Machine directly on your iMac, not on a "WD My Book Mirror Edition", in particular not when connected through USB 2.0.
To store data, the WD is fine.
For the RAID options:
RAID 0 ("striping") : if you want something fast (insofar this is possible with a USB connection). Note that when one of your disks fails you can say goodbye to all your data.
RAID 1 ("mirroring"): more safe. If one disk fails, the data are recoverable as they are on the other disk as well. Disadvantage is you get only half the storage capacity compared to RAID 0.
Oh. my personal recommendation: RAID 1 is not an alternative to making a backup. So whatever option you choose: if you store valuable data on the disk that are nowehere else: back them up!
On formats:
HFS+ : definitely recommended if you only use the RAID array on the Mac.
FAT 32: if you also use it on a Windows machine. Note that files cannot be larger than 4 GB in this case.
Hope this helps.

R12 on Oracle Unbrakable Linux.

hi,
I want to install R12 on Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5.
I have downloaded Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 from edelivery.oracle.com.
I have installed Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5. It has got all the packaged installed except the these 2 packages as prescibed by Metalink.
pdksh-5.2.14-30.3
xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.11
When i try to apply these packages, they don't get installed.
Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 has installed ksh-93, is this enough or do i need to install ( pdksh ) for installing R12.
Regarding xscreensaver, Oracle Unbreakable Linux 5 has got kscreensaver, screen and gnome-screensaver. are these enough or do i need to install the Package - (xscreensaver-4.18-5.rhel4.11). In this package the package name seems to be of rhel4.11.
Do i need to apply any RPM's for APACHE.
regards,
Charan Babu

I linux inode which contains 13 member array wich stores the actual block address of data .Similarly in windows how data is managed in disk ?. How many members in this array ?

Hello Vijay Nerkar,
Your question is not related to Windows Forms General. What is the data you mean and also what is that array?
If you are looking for something related to Windows File System, see some words here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system
For example
"Windows makes use of the
FAT, NTFS,
exFAT and ReFS file systems (the last of these is only supported and usable in
Windows Server 2012; Windows cannot boot from it).
Windows uses a drive letter abstraction at the user level to distinguish one disk or partition from another. For example, the
path <tt>C:\WINDOWS</tt> represents a directory <tt>WINDOWS</tt> on the partition represented by the letter C. Drive C: is most commonly used for the primary hard disk partition, on which Windows is usually installed and from which it boots. This "tradition"
has become so firmly ingrained that bugs exist in many applications which make assumptions that the drive that the operating system is installed on is C. The use of drive letters, and the tradition of using "C" as the drive letter for the primary hard disk
partition, can be traced to
MS-DOS, where the letters A and B were reserved for up to two floppy disk drives. This in turn derived from
CP/M in the 1970s, and ultimately from IBM's
CP/CMS of 1967.

Which Raid Card?

Looking for some advice for a super quick Nehalem Mac Pro.
My thoughts are to buy 3 INTERNAL Seagate 15,000 rpm SAS drives.
Which Raid Card would best suit these from a price performance viewpoint

For the SSDs check the comparison at [http://www.driverheaven.net/reviews.php?reviewid=821&pageid=1]. I chosed the Crucial M225 ($320 at OWC).
For internal RAID cards see the reviews at BareFeats. I chosed the RockectRAID 4320.
[http://www.barefeats.com/hard107.html]
Their drivers will come built-in in Snow Leopard according to HighPoint.
It is a powerfull controller with 2 internal MiniSAS ports. Each connect 4
SAS/SATA drives. For that you need an internal MiniSAS to (4x) SATA cable.
NewEgg has it for $420.
This controller could be used for 2 SSDs and 4 internal hard drives.
It has a 1.2MHz processor, supports RAID 0/1/3/5/6/10/50/JBOD, PCI-E x8
and even supports a batery backup module.
There is another option to install the SSDs inside the optical drive besides the
2 mentionated above. [http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=2791]
This allows you to install 2 2.5" drives in the optical bay.
If you want to RAID the 4 internal drives, you will need one of 2 options.
One from MaxUpgrades [http://www.maxupgrades.com/istore/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&product _id=189],
or from TransIntl [http://www.transintl.com/store/category.cfm?Category=2784].
If you do not want to RAID the internal hard drives now or in the future, than
you should be able to find a cheeper internal controller. Again check BareFeats site.
Hope it helps,

(Re)activate Intel Rapid start technolgy (RST) & RAID @U310

Dear community,
I have been frustrated about this for long time. Got U310 with win8(24GB SSD+500GB HDD).
People says I should set RAID in BIOS. But I got only error and cannot do recovery. So I set back to ACHI mode and system restored. Then error: "Your system does not apear to have Intel Rapid Start technology enabled".
- Yes, I have tried to set BIOS ACHI to RAID, no start.
- SSD 24GB is in device manager, not paritioned.
- intel RAID software installed
- So the point is: I have to activate in BIOS ACHI to RAID, but then Pc will not start.
So whats is the problem?
Now the partitions looks as this:
Could anyone help me, how to reactivate the RAID/ fast caching technolgy of RST?
Another frustration is: how to backup my system(win8) to USB media, so that I could restore factory state?
appreciate any advices, thanks in advance!

Solved!

Hi, bradlutz1
thanks for your reply! How do you identify it is defective? You have now a RAID enabled U310 or U410?
My SSD HD can be manually partitioned and use as a normal R/W HDD. Just it cannot set to RAID I think, which should be set to before install windows 8. checking into BIOS, the Intel Rapid Storage technolgy (iRST) is enabled. But I still have problem( see screenshot): How does it look like for yours?
On the other side, I use windows 8 recovery programm created a USB drive as recovery media. I want to use it to reset /recovery my PC to factory default with RAID eanbale.
First I set BOIS to RAID. Boot from HDD, but still failed, it says (I think AHCI could go thru):
Seeing from the partition picture in my first post, I think the last 20G partition is Lenovo recovery, but how to backup it and restore?
Very annoying also, the Lenovo program OneKey Recovery program 8.0(for win8) gives no option to create factory DVD/USB media, while its ver. 7 did:

BTW: my PC starts within 30s to login screen (w/o iRST), is it OK?

Which RAID controller do I choose?

Hi forum. I'm waiting for my Asus P9X79-E WS board to arrive this week and I will be using RAID 0 with a separate daily backup drive for it. Before I can afford high end RAID controllers like the Areca etc, I will have to use the onboard controllers. It comes with the options below, which do I choose? I will be raiding two Seagate 3tb 7200rpm drives for editing. I have 3 SSDs for the rest, like os/cache etc...
Intel® X79 chipset :
2 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), white
4 x SATA 3Gb/s port(s), blue
Support Raid 0, 1, 5, 10
Marvell® PCIe 9230 controller :
4 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), white
Support Raid 0, 1, 10
ASMedia® PCIe SATA controller :
2 x eSATA 6Gb/s port(s), red
Support port multiplier support
Product Page:
Motherboards - P9X79-E WS

This is not an answer to your question but I just found a way around the SATA III port limitation with an extremely high speed RAID equivalent that does not require a SATA inteface and is not a RAID configuration. It is a new small PCIe interface card that delivers in any system that has a spare PCIe x4 connector with two available lane to over 700 MB/seconds read operation and over 530 MB/seconds in write operations. All it requires is a PCIe version 2 x4 connector. See below:for tests on my old x58 motherboard.
These are real performance numbers equivalent to a RAID 0 array of 3 to 4 high performance hard disk drives. Of course you do not have the capacity of the hard drive array but by moving past projects to slower drives and reusing the 256 or 512 GB ($300 USD/ $600 USD) SSD drives you maintain the performance. These drives are warranted for 5 years. Actually tested with our PPBM6/7 benchmark with export of our Adobe Premiere Pro Disk I/O timeline I have a measured write rate of 561 MB/second.

Mail on MacBook Pro (Intel), loses track of which IMAP messages are read

I have this problem using two different IMAP servers (dovecot-imapd and SunONE.) Basically Mail keeps "losing track" of which messages have been read already. Messages I read and/or reply keep getting marked as unread. If I wait around long enough (or quit and restart Mail) ALL of my messages received since migrating to the MacBook Pro will appear unread. This did not happen with my PowerBook G4 – I'm thinking something is wrong with the Intel build of Mail.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.5) 2GB RAM

Do you have "automatically synchronize changed
mailboxes" selected under the Advanced tab for the
IMAP account preferences?
Oddly enough, one of them had it checked, and the other did not. Both evidenced the same behavior though.
In addition, have you used the rebuild mailboxes
function on the account's Inbox mailbox?
I'll do that now, and see what happens.

Which RAID to go with

I have an Xserve g5 that I'm going to be using for my clients to access from anywhere in the world. I have to decide what raid to go with. I've been thinking about the Xserve raid but the thing is that it is discontinued. So I've been looking around on macsales.com and they have some pretty nice systems. Any ideas anyone on which I should get

1 xserve G5 , slim pickins. single processor or multi ? it's going to make a difference.
do you really need a RAID ? if yes, find some after market xserve raids they work very well under 10.4 on ppc G5's. If you have enough memory 10.5 would work, but 10.5 brings more CPU overhead, hence the question,.. 1 or 2 processors.
2gb, fiber channel -- > apple xserve raid. if you can can find one. new, you could use a promise Vtrak but you may need a 4gb fiber card.
some USB 2.0 and firewire Stacks can be found useful. I I have seen some very nice SSD setups also.

IO issues on Red Hat Linux SAN storage and veritas volume manager

Oracle 11.0.1.7:
We recently moved from Solaris Sparc box to linux box and since then we are seeing IO issues. And it's quite obvious in iostat that the io goes as high as 100ms. So I am wondering if someone can advice if there are any mount options we need to give or if we need to use vxodmfs file system. Below are the details of this environment:
1. It's using veritas volume manager. (Same as solaris)
2. It's using vxfs file system (Same as solaris)
3. It's using veritas ODM libraries that helps us in IO. (Same as solaris)
4. SAN EMC storage (Same as solaris)
5. Mount options /dev/vx/dsk/orapdata1dg/oradata1vol1 on /u01/oradata type vxfs (rw,delaylog,largefiles,ioerror=mwdisable)

How to access Oracle Apps R12.1.1 from Linux

Greetings!
I have managed to install the R12.1.1 Vision instance on a Linux server and can access the Applications from windows Client, but when I try to run the Applications from the Linux Server console (where it is installed) I am able to Login and Open the Responsibilities page. But as soon as I click on any Oracle Forms function (Java Applet) it asks to install the J2SE Plug-in (like a Window Client). Therefore, I cannot open any Form :(
Any guidance on how to run the Applications on the Linux Server Console ?
TIA.

Are the Mac Mini Servers setup in a Raid configuration?

Are the new mini servers set up in a raid configuration?

Out of the box the mini comes without Raid. You have two identical HDs of 500Gb.
I have just set it up as Raid1. You can't do this when you use the startup disk from the mini. And as you don't have a Superdrive ... you need to be creative. You need another Mac with Firewire.
Step 1: Start the Mini in Target Mode. Press the T during start. In a few seconds the firewire logo will appear on your screen.
Step 2: Go to your second Mac. Connect the firewire cable between second Mac and Mini.
Step 3: On the second Mac start the disc utility. The two identical drives on your mini will show. Create a new Raid set (mirrored = Raid 1). Include both drives. Confirm the warning that all data on the mini will be lost.
Step 4: Make sure your second Mac has CD/ DVD sharing option installed. This is tou use the superdrive to install OS X Server on the mini.
Step 5: Shutdown both Macs
Step 6: Start your second Mac in target mode. Make sure the firewire cable is still connected.
Step 7: Start the Mini with the option key pressed.
Step 8: Insert the OS X Server install disc in your second Mac.
Step 9: wait till the drive logo apears om the Mini. Continue the install. Will take about an hour.
Good luck
