Request help to understand if migration required after deleting Oracle RAC

Hi all,
We want to remove/delete Oracle 11g RAC on Windows Systems.
Can we used Oracle server and tablespaces datafiles of the deleted RAC? If so, how to use the files to some other system?
Thanks

ThanksYes it is possible. . You just need to convert RAC to single instance.
Also Please post you RAC related question in below forum

Please i need help very urgent !!! after deleting my exchange account because the company changed the password , I lost 150 200 contacts and i need to get them back very soon ! i never backed up on itunes ..please help

No. The contacts are "owned" by the Exchange server.
The Exchange server is owned by the company.
Everything on the Exchange server is owned by the company.
If you quit or were terminated, and your access to the system has been revoked, then there is nothing you and do at this point. Once you deleted the account from your phone, all of the associated data was deleted.
NEVER store personal information on company systems.

Help required of creating Oracle RAC database having multiple instances

Hello Guys!
I want to create one database having 2 instances on Oracle 11g R1
I have 2 nodes in this Oracle RAC
Database name will be Val
and instance name on node 1 will be val1 and instance name on node 2 will be val2
Raw storage will be used, that is, without using automatic storage management or an Oracle Cluster File System
Can anyone help how to do that ?
Thanks

Hi,
Wonderful example thanks for the link.You're welcome :)
I'm little confused which option to choose in shared storage option of DBCA
i.e. Cluster File System or Raw devices?I suggest you to use ASM for you database storage requirement and select raw devices. oracle recommends to use ASM storage for sahred database.
thanks,

Help requested on FireWire (SBP2) on CentOS 4.5 for Oracle RAC installation

I am running 64-bit CentOS 4.5 (2.6.9-55.EL kernel) on AMD64. I can load the FireWire modules (SBP2, OHCI1394 & IEEE1394) and see the partitions created of the FireWire drive using fdisk -l. The /proc/scsi/scsi correctly shows the drive.
If I create an EXT2 or EXT3 on a partition, it's great. I can read/write on that without any problem. But when I try to perfom the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/raw/raw1 bs=8196 count=12000 or any dd on any partition on that drive, I am getting:
ieee1394: sbp2: aborting sbp2 command
scsi4: destination target 0, lun 0
command: Read (10) and then bunches of numbers
ieee1394: sbp2: hpsb_node_write_failed
ieee1394: sbp2: Bus reset in progress -- rejecting command
But the dd finishes and I can see the partitions using fdisk -l
I have the following in the /etc/modprobe.conf file (also tried without serialize_io):
options sbp2 serialize_io=1 exclusive_login=0
Eventually, this problem is stopping me from implementing CRS & Oracle RAC.
Can somebody please tell me what's going on & how I can avoid these errors?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Did you compile the source code which downloaded from Oracle official website:http://oss.oracle.com/projects/firewire/files/source/oracle-firewire-modules-1286.tar.gz ?
Please check the following modules whether it have been loaded on the box.
1,ieee1394.ko
2,ohci1394.ko
3,raw1394.ko
Use "dmesg" to check if the disk connected to the firewire interface has been detected.

Request help for synching iPod with iTunes after Windows re-install

I recently reformatted my hard-drive. I have installed iTunes. When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases". My iPod has some purchased songs, and many songs ripped from my CD collection (mp3 format). I would like to have the entire iPod contents populate the new (empty) iTunes library. I am guessing that the Transfer option is the best of the two, but am worried about losing songs, since it would be a lot of work to re-rip the non-purchased songs. Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?
I would appreciate any suggestions, before I proceed. Thanks in advance to any replies.
EMK

*Will "Transfer Purchases" transfer all music?*
No it won't, it will only do what it says which is to transfer purchases, it won't transfer non-purchased items.
*When I plug in my iPod (old Nano), I get a message asking me to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases".*
Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
As for your purchased songs, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article but the utilities above will copy both purchased and non purchased songs anyway: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Lightroom 5.2 won't open after "successfully installed" - can anybody please help me understand why?

Hi everyone
I've bought and downloaded Adobe Lightroom 5 for a new iMac 27" intel core 5 3,4 GHz. The machine is only three days old and no more updates are to be found when searching for it. However; after the message that "lightroom 5 has successfully been installed" I don't get to open the program. So I never get to the point where I can register the serial number / registration key for purchased product.
I've followed the instructions that comes with Lightroom 5, but no luck. Also tried to uninstall and reinstall.
No secret that I'm total incompetent when it comes to understanding of computers and software....
Hope someone can help me understand what I'm doing wrong, and sugest some good solutions :-)
Thx

I think you may need to uninstall and then start over. There is no installer on the Mac for Lightroom so select it in Applications and send it to the trash. I suggest you download again from a different source. You can use the link below to download the free trial and then validate the software after installation with your product serial number. Ensure you choose your language version and MAC platform from the dropdown list at the top of the page.
After you click download it starts by downloading or updating (replace) the Adobe Download Assistant. You then browse the products and select Photoshop Lightroom 5 to start the installation.

Can someone help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Can someone please help me understand why my i tunes stop working after my library comes up?

Hello generousdragon,
It sounds like you are unable to use iTunes shortly after launching it. Use the following article to help troubleshoot the issue, named:
iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
Start with this step to isolate 3rd party plugins that may be causing an issue, an use the rest of the troubleshooting if needed.
Start iTunes in Safe Mode
Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
Click Continue.
See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Help! App reg/licenses missing after migrating to new iMac.

I just finished migrating to a new iMac (2007 2.16 GHz White Lucite -> 2008 2.83 GHz Aluminum). I used the Migration Assistant after starting up the new iMac to transfer everything. I chose "Transfer from another Mac" (which was actually my SuperDuper! backup on an external FW RAID). Everything seemed fine (I even rebooted first). I logged into my Admin account first and it looked the same. But after logging into my User account and trying to open my apps they were starting as though it was their first time, asking for SN and registration info. Safari has reverted from v4 to v3, Aperture wants SN, and iTunes can't open my library because it was created with a newer version, yet Mail worked fine. What happened? And more importantly, what should I do? I don't want to re-enter SN's and info and re-register my apps.
I have both SuperDuper! and Time Machine backups. I was thinking to boot from SuperDuper! as Start Up Disk and then do a complete restore, or if necessary erase the Mac HD first (which I'd prefer not to). Will restoring the new iMac HD with the SD! backup from the older iMac cause any issues?
Addendum:
I just noticed in the System Profiler that OS X is 10.5.4, not 10.5.6. Why didn't it transfer/update the OS as well? Isn't it suppose to transfer everything? Why would I want to downgrade my OS X with a new iMac?

I ended up using OS X disc to 'Restore System From Backup' from Time Machine backup. That returned the system back to almost an exact state as before, but a few apps were still asking for SN, and Mail wouldn't open because it had to reload messages. Strangely though, Aperture won't accept the SN now, whereas it did after the first migration transfer.
Migrating to a new Mac is not as simple and painless as made out to be. At least not clearly enough. It was an all-dayer/nighter full of stress and frustration. Not something I expect from Mac, but a PC.
Another after-effect from this is Time Machine doesn't see its backup now, even though it's there on the external drive. It showed backup failed and then after I reset/highlighted the correct drive it started backing up under a new folder/computer name. I deleted that but can't figure out how to make TM see the existing BU. This has been a lot of fun.

Help with understanding initial admin account vs. directory admin

Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me understand the initial admin account created when I was first configuring my server, and the directory admin.
I have setup an advanced server, and when I was going through the initial setup I created an account that for this discussion I'll call "admin." Once the initial setup was finished I started using Workgroup manager to create accounts. I was informed that I should create a different directory admin so I did and for this discussion we'll call that account "diradmin."
I am curious why the initial account of admin does not show up in workgroup manager, and why it does not show up as an option in Server Admin to assign permissions.
Is this making any sense?
Any explanation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Scott

Hi
Presumably you used the Server Setup Assistant to configure Services prior to bringing the Server online?
Not a good idea really. When choosing Advanced after the Server Software has been installed don't enable/configure any service apart from Remote Desktop. Once the Server setup is complete run all available updates. Once you've done that begin to configure required Services using Server Admin. Once you've done that begin to populate your directory nodes with users using WorkGroup Manager.
The key to understanding the two accounts (a) System Administrator (admin UID 501) and (b) Directory Administrator (diradmin UID 100) is understanding which directory node you want to provide services to. The 'Local' node and the server in general (putting aside the super user 'root') will always be admin. Once you promote the Server from Standalone to OD Master you effectively create another Directory in addition to the Local one. This LDAP Directory can be used for all sorts of things. Principally enabling directory and contact information (amongst other things) to be shared/accessed with users that exist in that node with an enhanced authentication system (Kerberos) not available in the Local node and if the Server is in a Standalone Role. This LDAP Directory is controlled by diradmin. You won't be able to use admin for the LDAP node but you can use diradmin for the server in general - although I would not advise it. You can use root for both nodes - again I would not advise it unless absolutely necessary. Basically use admin to log into the Server and do the day to day stuff and use diradmin for the LDAP. Get into the habit of never having both applications open unless you are going to use them. Once you are done, quit out of them and leave them alone.
To toggle between the two Directory nodes launch Workgroup Manager and click on the small blue globe below the main set of icons at the top and above the Users/Groups/Machines tabs. You should see at least 4 selections: Local, /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Search Policy and Other. If you don't see /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 select Other and browse for it. If you still don't see it then you effectively don't have an OD Master. This will severely limit the ability of server to provide auot-mounting networked home folders as well as access to iCal Server's features amongst other things.
Finally if you truly want LDAP and everything that goes with it then your DNS Service - wherever its placed - has to be correctly conigured and tested. This link is for a post that explains how to achieve this simply using the interface:

PCI cards, Airport cards...help me understand what is what and why?

Help me understand this wireless network "card" hardware stuff.
I have a dual 867 MHz G4 that I want to set up for networking with a PC so that both machines can access the internet (via DSL).
As far as I know, my Mac does not have an airport card of any kind. I'm planning to buy a Lynksys WRT 54G2 wireless router. Do I need to also install an airport card, or PCI card in my G4 to make this all happen? And, if so, what is recommended that will work with my G4?
The guys at the Apple store are telling me that all I need is a wireless router, and don't have to install anything extra, but what I'm reading on these various networking threads, is that just the G4 and a wireless router will not do the trick. After reading lots of threads here, it's sounding like I have to jump through hoops to set up a usable, working network. The Apple guy says that this is easy and basic. I'm thinking that THEY are thinking in terms of a newer machine, maybe? They're all young guys who probably think that nothing goes back farther than the iMac.
One thing the Apple guys were pushing is Airport Extreme, but at $180, I somehow thing I can get there for much less than that.
To make a long story short (hah...too late for that), what exactly do I need as far as a card, router, etc., and where do I get the right stuff (links would be helpful) to set up a Mac/PC network using my old decrepit G4?

Hi-
Networking Macs and PCs

MacWireless
Check the above links, and you will be better educated in the basics and requirements of various networks.
The easiest, and least hardware intensive is the Ethernet network. Also, Ethernet is fast.
A note about Airport; you machine only accepts standard 802.11b Airport cards. In a word, very slow.
Airport Extreme, or 802.11g, is much faster, and 802.11n is the fastest available. To get 802.11g or 802.11n in your machine will require a PCI adapter.

Can anyone help me understand "Continue Statements"?

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me understand continue statements. I've been studying the java tutorials this weekend but can not get my head around the following explanation: (My thoughts are at the end of this message and it might be easiest to read them first!)
"The continue statement skips the current iteration of a for, while , or do-while loop. The unlabeled form skips to the end of the innermost loop's body and evaluates the boolean expression that controls the loop. The following program, ContinueDemo , steps through a String, counting the occurences of the letter "p". If the current character is not a p, the continue statement skips the rest of the loop and proceeds to the next character. If it is a "p", the program increments the letter count.
{code}class ContinueDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String searchMe = "peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers";
int max = searchMe.length();
int numPs = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < max; i++) {
//interested only in p's
if (searchMe.charAt(i) != 'p')
continue;
//process p's
numPs++;
System.out.println("Found " + numPs + " p's in the string.");
}{code}
Here is the output of this program:
Found 9 p's in the string.
To see this effect more clearly, try removing the continue statement and recompiling. When you run the program again, the count will be wrong, saying that it found 35 p's instead of 9.
A labeled continue statement skips the current iteration of an outer loop marked with the given label. The following example program, ContinueWithLabelDemo, uses nested loops to search for a substring within another string. Two nested loops are required: one to iterate over the substring and one to iterate over the string being searched. The following program, ContinueWithLabelDemo, uses the labeled form of continue to skip an iteration in the outer loop.
{code}class ContinueWithLabelDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String searchMe = "Look for a substring in me";
String substring = "sub";
boolean foundIt = false;
int max = searchMe.length() - substring.length();
test:
for (int i = 0; i <= max; i++) {
int n = substring.length();
int j = i;
int k = 0;
while (n-- != 0) {
if (searchMe.charAt(j++)
!= substring.charAt(k++)) {
continue test;
foundIt = true;
break test;
System.out.println(foundIt ? "Found it" :
"Didn't find it");
}{code}
Here is the output from this program.
Found it"
Here are Woodie's thoughts........................................
1) With the first program I don't understand how the program counts the number of "p's". Like for example how it stores the number of "p's". Shouldn't it say:
if (searchMe.charAt(i) = 'p') then store it in some sort of containers??? 2) With the second program, I don't understand the test section. For example: Why does it have --? why does it have != after while and why does it have != after if?
while (n-- != 0)
                if (searchMe.charAt(j++) != substring.charAt(k++))
                    continue test;
            foundIt = true;
                 break test;Edited by: woodie_woodpeck on Nov 23, 2008 3:29 AM

Woodie, I think they're just silly "theoretical" examples... ergo don't worry too much not understanding them, coz they don't actually make a lot of sense... as you've allready pointed out there are other "more normal" control structures which achieve the same thing, and which in this case (in my humble opinion) would make for clearer, more concise, more maintainable code.
All you need to know about continue is "it means go back to the top of the loop"... If you're not comfortable using "continue" then don't.
There's more than one way to do it.
public static void main(String[] args) {
    try {
      final String s = "peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers";
      int count = 0;
      for ( char c : s.toStringArray() ) {
        if (c=='p') count++;
      System.out.println("There are "+count+ " p's in '"+s+"'");
    } catch (Exception e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
}Having said all that... I did use continue in anger the other day... I was reading Geometries from a shape file... the reader was throwing an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException given an "empty Feature" (ie a feature with the geospatial presence)... All I did was catch the exception and continue trying to read the new feature... the alternative would have been to rewrite the control logic of the whole reader loop... quick, simple effective... but I don't routinely build continue statements into new code... just a matter of personal taste.
Cheers. Keith.

Rights required after exchange installation

Hi, we are cleaning up our privileged group(s) access and i was wondering what group access the exchange install account requires after exchange is running. currently our exchange install account is still a member of Account Operators, Domain Admins,
Administrators as well as all the required Microsoft Exchange Security Groups.
thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,
In order to prepare schema, AD and install Exchange server, the account need to have the Schema Admins, Domain Admins, and Enterprise Admins permissions at least. What's more, the account should be a member of Organization Management AD role group.
After installation, administrator should have the Organization Management permission and Server Management permission at least.
For more information, here is the detailed information about my Exchange Security Groups for your reference.
Besides, I don't understand why you want to remove some privileged groups.
Hope my clarification is helpful.
If you need further assistance, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
