Recovering from various disasters

Hello,
I'm trying to put together a plan to recover from potential OVM failures, but I'm unclear about a number of points. Any suggestions and clarifications would be most welcome.
Guest:
We're installing a backup agent on all the VM's (Red Hat and Oracle Linux). If the VM was somehow completely lost, we plan to re-create it, do a fresh o/s install, and restore the filesystems from backup.
VM Manager:
It runs as VM. To recover from a problem, we plan to reinstall the VM Manager using the same UUID, rather than backing it up. If we were to back it up, are there critical configuration files we should back up?
Database:
This is exported and backed up regularly.
Oracle VM Server:
I'm not sure about this one. If we somehow lost one server (we have a 3-node cluster), if we just reinstall Oracle VM Server with the same ip and hostname would all be well after I rediscovered it? As long as the other two nodes were up and running, would the rebuilt server be added to the ocfs2 cluster when it's rediscovered?
Also, what information is in the server pool filesystem and the database? How do you all back up the server pool filesystem (or do you?) ? We can't install our backup agent on the Oracle VM Servers.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

there is no need to backup the Oracel VM Server .
if something wrong with the OVS,not the ocfs2,you may wipe the db for the OVS,and the restart the agent then reboot the OVS.The ovs would be fresh as you just installed it

Kodo not recovering from bad connection in new MySQL driver

Hi,
     I'm using kodo 2.4.1 and the latest stable MySQL driver 3.0.6. After
leaving the application inactive for a few hours, the connection to
mysql is no longer usable. This did not occur with MySQL version 2.0.14
(as I believe Kodo weren't reusing the connections).
     Are there any properties that I could set, so Kodo can keep the
connection active or recover from the problem?
Makas

Ok, thanks Marc, like I said though, I am now re-using MySQL 2.0.14
driver. I'm not sure if I'm gaining any advantages with MySQL 3.0.6 anyway.
But I'll probably upgrade it after the next Kodo is released.

Makas-
Sorry ... I didn't test the property I sent. The problem is that our
options parsing does not deal with spaces (this will be fixed in the
next release).
Instead of ValidateConnectionSQL="SELECT 1", you should be able to use
ValidateConnectionSQL=SELECT(1), which does not contain spaces.

Marc,
Using the properties you wrote, kodo doesn't seems to be able to parse
it. I've also tried various other combinations with no success. I'm now
going to use the older mysql driver.

Makas-
Kodo should be re-using the MySQL Connection in exactly the same way,
regardless of the version. The problem is that it looks like MySQL people
slipped in an "optimization" into 3.0.6 whereby Connection.isClosed()
does not actually test the state of the Connection, but instead just
returns true if and only if Connection.close() has been invoked.
You can get around this by specifying some SQL to validate the
Connections. The following property should do the trick:
com.solarmetric.kodo.impl.jdbc.DictionaryProperties=\
ValidateConnections=true \
ValidateConnectionSQL="SELECT 1"
Please let us know if the problem persists.

Hi Marc,
     Here're the stack trace of the exception and the kodo properties. There
isn't any long running transaction. The application is basically left
idle for some time and subsequent connections fails. It could be
connections obtained from the pool, but I'm not sure.
     I will re-use mysql 2.0.14 for now. Please let me know if I'm missing
any other properties or if you need more info.

Is Kodo idle during a long-running transaction, or does the error occur
when a new Connection is allocated? If the former, then there is nothing
we can do: MySQL shouldn't be dropping an open Connection while a
transaction is active. If the latter, then the property
com.solarmetric.kodo.impl.jdbc.ConnectionTestTimeout specified the
number of seconds between which the connection should be tested for
valididty when removed from the pool.

If this does not help, can you let us know your properties and some

Can't recover from sleep sometimes: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong!"

I'm running gdm + gnome-shell (force fallback mode) on a Thinkpad W520 with intel integrated graphics only (via bios setting, so no optimus). Once a week or so, my Laptop fails to go to sleep properly and to recover from it.
It basically works like this, normally when I close the lid, the sleep LED blinks a couple of times, and then stays on (and you can hear the fan turn off). When sending the laptop to sleep fails, the led blinks indefinitely (like, all night, if you let it), the fan keeps running as well.
Once you open the lid again, you are greeted with the message "ACPI: Unable to dock!" on a black screen. This happens when successfully recovering from sleep mode as well, though.
Shortly afterwards, instead of seeing a password prompt, you see this:

I tried to search the problem but couldn't find anything that was quite like my problem. I did however find someone saying the ~/.xsession-errors file could contain clues. So here is that:

How do I send emails from various accounts in gmail from my iPad?

I imap 3 accounts through my gmail account. Gmail, in it's browser form, allows me to choose from which account I send an email from in a drop-down menu. I don't see how to do this on the iPad mail app or through safari for iPad.
If not possible, what are ur solutions for efficiently responding to emails from various accounts on the iPad (network solutions, gmail, and university).
Thanks!

If you log into Gmail from a computer, you can specify in the settings to always reply from the account the email came from. You should only have to do it once for each account.
Settings>Accounts and Import.

IN A PREVIOUS MESSAGE, I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS ANY WEBSITE USING FIREFOX AFTER COMCAST, MY ISP, RECOVERED FROM AN OUTAGE THAT LASTED 5 HOURS. WHENEVER I TRIED TO CONNECT TO A SITE, A POP-UP MESSAGE APPEARED INDICATING: "UNABLE TO INITIALIZE THE APPLICATION'S SECURITY COMPONENT. THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE IS PROBLEMS WITH FILES IN YOUR APPLICATION'S PROFILE DIRECTORY. CHECK THAT THIS DIRECTORY HAS NO READ/WRITE RESTRICTIONS." I EVEN REMOVED FIREFOX FROM MY COMPUTER AND DOWNLOADED IT AGAIN, FIGURING THAT BY NOT MERELY USING AN UPGRADE, I WOULD BE INSTALLING A COMPLETELY FRESH DOWNLOAD. UNFORTUNATELY, I RECEIVED THE SAME DISAPPOINTING RESULT, WITH THE SAME POP-UP MESSAGE RE-APPEARING. HOWEVER USING BOTH GOOGLE CHROME AND INTERNET EXPLORER, I WAS ABLE TO CONNECT TO WEBSITES. SO I HAVE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE PROBLEM IS NOT WITH MY INTERNET CONNECTION.

Press '''START + R''' in keyboard to open the '''Run''' box(or '''start''' then '''run''') , type in the RUN box '''%APPDATA%''' (or copied in just i wrote, bold text) then click '''OK'''. A Windows Explorer window will appear, in this window, choose '''Mozilla''' then '''Firefox''' then '''Profiles'''. Each folder in the "Profiles" folder (e.g., "xxxxxxxx.default") is a profile on your computer (maybe is one file if you have only one profile).
see for more info : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile folder - Firefox ]
try it, good luck
thanks again

Recovering from a network drive

Hey all
I've been successfully using Time machine on a network drive (using "defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1"  in a console). Unfortunately, my HDD broke and apple support had to install a new one.
Now, how do I restore from that network drive again? I have a freshly installed and fully updated Leopard already and would like to just restore the users' settings. But, the network drive isn't visible in the migration assistant.
I even tried to copy the network drive's content to a firewire disc... still nothin visible.
What else can I do?
Thanks a million!!!
Bernhard

Yes, I can mount the image and thus have access to all revisions stored by time machine. Maybe I could use rsync to get the data back in place? My hope was to make time machine recognize the image on the (now) local drive and recover from there... is that possible?
I know that it's unsupported to use time machine on a nas, but - for me - running time machine on a local hdd just doesn't make much sense (I want multiple computers to do their backup to the same drive and I also want to separate the backup drive from the original drives physically). I also don't see why this should be so difficult to implement (Vista can do it btw... :-)), unless, of course, Apple wants to sell its time capsules...
Anyway, I didn't want to complain, I would just like to get my data back.
Thanks for your help!

Following hard drive failure on iMac running Maverick I have recovered from TimeMachine backup but now app store does not connect. All other internet connections normal. Does anyone know of a fix?

Also mail not loading. The error report suggests that I look for updates from the app store?

CCM 8.6.1- Installation Failed. Restart install to recover from failure

Hi All,
I am installing CCM 8.6.1 on an MCS7835I3 platform. The platform came with CCM 8.6.1 preloaded on the harddrive. During the installation linux detected some compenents like NIC, Raid, and USB.
then after checking some components i face below error
"The installtion has failed and must be restarted to recover from the faliure.
You may dump diagnostic information at this time to a USB storage key. Would you like to dump diagnostic information"
I am try to figure out what is causing this message.
Pls help me!!

Hi
It seems to me that your server did not begin the CUCM installation. If you already have pre-loaded CUCM media in the server hard disk then you should first check the boot sequence on the server. Make sure that the first option is the hard disk.
Once confirmed, restart the server.
If you still face the issue, then i suggest that you install CUCM from CD.
Below is the installation document. Do check the server compatibility and hardware requirements.

If I donwload e-books from various e-book retailers and want to back them up on an external hard drive without losing the format, do I need a special hard drive?

If I download e-books from various e-book retailers and want to back them up on an external hard drive without losing the format, do I need to know anything special?

I just looked into this as I was moving my iPad to a new computer for synching. With no thanks to Kobo for any really useful information on their help site (this discussion was the most useful info I found), I think the following may address your issue with respect to Kobo.
1. There is not easy or official way to back up Kobo books from your iPad.
2. Kobo keep track of your personal library. Go to the Kobo website (Kobo.com) and sign in to your account. On the very top line is "My Library". That contains (or at least Kobo says it does) everything you have ever bought from Kobo. Kobo say that you may download any of this content to other devices you own at no charge.
3. I synched my iPad to the new computer. According to Apple, that will delete all my data as the apps are re-installed from the new compute. While all my apps got moved around from the order I previously had (many thanks Apple), all my books are still there together with my bookmarks etc. Looks like this did nothing to change any Kobo data.
While I do not like the idea that I cannot create a backup on my main computer, it is probably safer in the long run that there is a backup at Kobo. After all, I could lose all my equipment in a fire or something, and then personal backups would be of little use.

Mac Pro display does not recover from sleep

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 with two graphics cards (ATI 5770 & nVidia Geoforce GT 120) and three displays. After intense use of the GPUs with graphics processing jobs, and after the screen goers to sleep, they do not recover. The computer is accessible via the network (ping, ssh, etc) however, the screens blank out and no longer recover from sleep. The only resolution is to reboot.
I have already run memtest all just to make sure there isn't a memory issue. All tests passed. Also, this issue has ocurred with Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with regard to this iussue?
Thanks

Update -- I now can reproduce the issue at will and it is definitely related to the sleep feature and has gotten much worse under OS X Mavericks. Side Rant -- First let me note how disappointing Mavericks is as a platform. Apple's output seems to be getting progressively less thought out, reliable and buggy.
Now back to the issue. I created a hot corner that puts my display to sleep. Every time I active the hot corner the system display is lost -- that is the system continues to function and respond via network (ping, ssh, etc) but no joy on un-sleeping the displays.
I have Mac Pro Mid 2010 w/ 2x 2.4Ghz Quad Core, 32GB RAM, ATI 5770 and NVidia Geoforce GT 120 using three displays (2x 27" Apple and 1x Panasonic 1080P HD TV) running OS X 10.9.1 (13B42).

Itunes 7 + Win XP Pro (Recover from a serious error0

Everytime i turn on my PC I get this window telling me that windows has recovered from a serious error. The last blue screen I got was almost a week ago. I have done system retore to pre iTunes 7 and i continue to get this error. iTunes 7 is the only recent change to my computer(which is almost 5 yrs old) Is it my computer, Windows, or iTunes??

i wish I had time to do that except by the time i reformat, and restore all my files that will kill a whole afternoon. I plan on buying an imac when leopard comes out, considering that itunes , office and IE are all i use this computer for hopefully it can survive til spring (knock on wood) Thanks

MBP not recovering from sleep / Strange 'freezing' crashing...

I'm having a VERY strange issue here.
Over the past week, my MBP (only 4 months old?) has become suddenly unable to recover from sleep. I'll be watching a movie in FrontRow, 'sleep' it from my Apple remote, and then when it re-awakens, the screen fires up but it's black (as in, the backlight is obviously on and drive/fan spins up, but no image on display).
Then, just tonight, I've been working on some websites, nothing too intensive, maybe running iTunes and Safari in the background alongside 'DreamWeaver', and the whole system just FROZE. I can't type, I can't move the cursor, the screen is completely frozen. I kept waiting for the familiar 'kernel panic' screen to appear or something, but I've never seen any Apple machine do this before...
It's kinda worrying as I'm not particularly stressing the machine or anything.... any ideas??

Try setting your SMC controller - especially if its a wake and sleep related issue.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Likewise in Utilities, open 'Console' to look at your logs. There will be diagnostic messages (I hope) about the crash.
You could also run the activity monitor to make sure processes aren't topping out and hogging the CPU.

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files that i lost? I lost 500 jpg files in my iPhoto library named i.e from 1.jpg to 500.jpg and I want to recover ONLY them from an 1TB external WD My Book e-sata disk, to avoid time waste and unwanted jpg files.
I' ve used data recovery software as Photorec, but it recovers all the jpgs it can find, it can't search for specific name files and as it uses its own naming for the files it recovers, i have thousands of photos to look up and find these i really want.Not to mention so much waiting time.
Even if you know other technology tool that can help me please tell me.
I've also used StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery that is not file carving tool, but with similar results.

Prosoft Data Rescue may be what you need. Others may work that way, that are described here:
My data has become inaccessible, and I don't have a backup!

Why do I get "The system has recovered from a serious error" after system shut down

Every time when start/restarting the computer using the attached .vi I get a window with "The system has recovered from a serious error." Although this does not seems to have any effect on application and I am able to use the test equipment but could someone explain why this is happening?

Hi Fardm,
how should we answer that question when you don't attach the VI, but only a picture hidden in some proprietary file format?
Attach the VI!
You also have some Rube-Goldberg in your code:
IF not zero THEN use ErrorCode ELSE use zero
Why not just connect errorcode directly with BundleByName? You don't need the Select function here...
