Restore Oracle VM Manager with no backup?

What would be the easiest way to restore/recover VM Manager data if the system it was installed on is unrecoverable and no backup is present?

Thank you so much for your help in solving this problem. Yes this is a 2.2 installation.
Here are the steps I took:

Thanks again for all your help !!

HT5661 will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

I have an iPad Model MD371LL/A that i'm selling. I will buy a new one as sonn it releases the new model.
Will I be able to restore a new iPad with a BackUp from a old one?

Yes.
The only 'catch' you may encounter. Let's say your old one is running iOS 7.1.1, and your new one is running iOS 7.0.6, you will first need to update your new one to be running 7.1.1, then y ou can restore it from the backup of your old one and make it a near clone of the old one.
Chances are you won't encounter this, but there have been instances where folks get a broken ipad replaced and try to restore the new one from the backup of the old one and since the replacement is running an older iOS than the replaced one it doesn't work. In that case you set up the replacement long enough to update the iOS then restore it.
But, likely what will happen for you is what happened for me when I bought a new iPod Touch. I did a full backup of my old one then wiped it. Brought the new one home and during hte set up process I had a choice 'set up as new or restore from the backup of the old one'. I chose restore and my new one was a near clone of the old one. I still needed to set up wifi and enter a few passwords to websites, but the data and contents crossed over.
If you are selling your old one you may want to read this about wiping your device to make it usable by the buyer. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5661

Automatically starting Oracle Enterprise Manager with chkconfig

Folks,
While Oracle Linux 6 is out (6.2 actually), Oracle has yet to get everything 'working out of the box' with 6.2. Right now (June 2012) you've got to download patches from Oracle, the new way to start services in Linux 6, upstart, doesn't work with all Oracle features yet, etc. Update: You can still use chkconfig with OL6.
Because of the above, I've been using Oracle Linux 5.8. Linux 5 uses something called chkconfig to register services. You first need to put a script in the right directory: /etc/rc.d/init.d. Linux looks in this directory for scripts and runs those scripts with either a start or stop after them depending on if the system is coming up or going down. Technically this happens every time you change your runlevel (google Unix runlevels for more info), not just when the system goes up or down.
Here's a script that you can put in /etc/rc.d/init.d. I named mine oracleEM:
[root@localhost ~]# cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
[root@localhost init.d]# vi oracleEM
Enter i to enter insert mode and then enter the below (or just copy and paste it)
*#!/bin/sh*
*#chkconfig: 2345 80 05*
*#description: Oracle Enterprise Manager*
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1
ORA_OWNER=oracle
ORA_SID=orcl
*# We're checking to see if ps returns 1 or 2 results for pmon_orcl*
*# If there are two, Oracle is running, one we are just seeing our grep*
ORACLE_STATUS=$(ps -eaf | grep pmon_$ORA_SID | wc -l)
*if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/emctl ]*
then
echo "Enterprise Manager startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
*"start")*
*if [ $ORACLE_STATUS -lt 2 ]*
then
echo "Waiting for Oracle instance $ORA_SID to start before starting Enterprise Manager"
fi
*while [ $ORACLE_STATUS -lt 2 ];do*
echo "Waiting...."
sleep 5
ORACLE_STATUS=$(ps -eaf | grep pmon_$ORA_SID | wc -l)
done
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
*"stop")*
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
esac
Press the Esc key to leave insert mode, then type *:wq* to write the file and quit.
We'll need to make the script executable, so we need to run the following command:
[root@localhost init.d]# *chmod +x oracleEM*
Finally we need to register the oracleEM script with Linux using the chkconfig command:
[root@localhost init.d]# *chkconfig --add oracleEM*
Now Enterprise Manager will start up automatically when you start your system, but only after Oracle has started.

The script you are using will not work for RHEL or Oracle Linux since it is incorrect and missing important coding.
You can probably fix the script by removing the dash (-) from the su command and adding the lockfile that is required for RHEL to process the stop routine at system shutdown. The dash will reset the shell environment and the startup won't work. You should also start it in the background in order not to prolong the system startup more then necessary.
lockfile=/var/lock/subsys/oracleEM
start)
   su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole &" &>/dev/null
   touch $lockfile
stop)
   su $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
   rm -rf $lockfile
...You do not need to start your Oracle instance before starting dbconsole. So there is no need for the "sleep" routine. You can start the Oracle Database control console even when the instance is down:
For instance:
<pre>
[oracle@vm005 ~]$ ps -ef | grep pmon
oracle 17749 10343 0 22:48 pts/3 00:00:00 grep pmon
$ emctl start dbconsole

Integrating Oracle Access Manager with Kerberos (WNA)

Hi,
I have working Oracle Access Manager currently being able only to authenticate users against Active Directory. I want to enable WNA. But I am still having issues with correctly configure it:
I do not know what am I doing wrong.
I am logged as example.com\testuser into Windows XP, using firefox with WNA enabled for URI example.com. Then I enter http://oracle.example.com which is my Oracle HTTP Server's protected URL, then I am receiving ERROR from Oracle Access Manager: "The user account is locked or disabled. Please contact the System Administrator."
In OAM Log there is this: <Jun 19, 2012 4:14:15 PM CEST> <Error> <oracle.oam.controller> <OAM-02010> <User account is locked. Authentication failed.>
Interesting is when I disable WNA support in firefox, then this behavior occurs: fisrt there is this dialog shown "A username and password are being requested by http://oracle.example.com:14100. The site says: "OAM 11g"" --> here I enter example.com\testuser and password. After this new dialog is shown: A username and password are being requested by http://oracle.example.com:14100. The site says: "WebLogic Server", then after entering weblogic/password I receive "The user account is locked or disabled. Please contact the System Administrator."
In the OAM log this is logged:
<Jun 19, 2012 4:22:28 PM CEST> <Error> <oracle.oam.user.identity.provider> <OAMSSA-20023> <Authentication Failure for user : weblogic.>
<Jun 19, 2012 4:22:28 PM CEST> <Error> <oracle.oam.controller> <OAM-02010> <User account is locked. Authentication failed.>
Any ideas? I am really stuck here.
I am using this keytab file:
[root@oracle centos]# klist -ke /home/oracle/keytab.testuser1
Keytab name: WRFILE:/home/oracle/keytab.testuser1
KVNO Principal
7 HTTP/[email protected] (des-cbc-crc)
7 HTTP/[email protected] (des-cbc-md5)
7 HTTP/[email protected] (arcfour-hmac)
7 HTTP/[email protected] (aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96)
7 HTTP/[email protected] (aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96)
kinit passes fine:
[root@oracle centos]# kinit -V HTTP/[email protected] -k -t /home/oracle/keytab.testuser1
Using default cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Using principal: HTTP/[email protected]
Using keytab: /home/oracle/keytab.testuser1
Authenticated to Kerberos v5
Why and which user is locked? I can lock with the AD user into windows domain, so I assume it is not locked + I checked it in the Active Directory.

Ok, now I got it working. Sh~t! Why oracle documentation says I should set AD datasource with this parameter:
User Name Attribute: UserPrincipalName, when this does not work?!
After changing to User Name Attribute: sAMAccountName my WNA works!!!
I have been fighting all day with this! The question is why such behavior - if the problem is in wrongly written oracle documentation, or I have problem somewehere else.
Btw my user in AD looks like this:
distinguishedName:     CN=John Doe,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com
sAMAccountName:     doejohn
userPrincipalName     [email protected]
It looks OAM takes "doejohn" from Windows via WNA/Kerberos and searches for this using UserPrincipalName and this is giving no match of course because "doejohn != [email protected]".
The question is why does it take doejohn and not [email protected] from Windows WNA/Kerberos ???

Oracle VM Manager fails without backup data

Dear All,
My Oracle VM Manager fails and lost all data but my Oracle VM Servers and Storage are still running fine, if I install a new Oracle VM Manager and I register my VM Servers again, is it possible the same old Oracle VM Manager?
Please help to give advice,
Thanks and regards,
Heng

If so, yes. Just grab the UUID from the existing Manager install in /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/.config and pass it using the -u parameter to runInstaller.sh when you re-install it.

I reset my iPhone5 and I'm putting my ID and password in and it says there is a problem with the server when trying to restore all my information with iCloud backup. What do I do?

I was having several problems with my iPhone5, apps crashing everywhere, nothing working. My father who is very tech savvy told me we would have to restore the iPhone using the iCloud. So I went to settings, erased all my stuff and got the grey starting screen. I got up to the point where it says to enter your Apple ID and Password and I couldn't remember so I went on Apple.com and changed my info so I could remember it no matter what. I got the email saying that my info has been changed and accepted and all that but now when I put the information in its says that there is a problem connecitng to the server.

Restore Oracle VM Manager 3.0.1 problem

Hi,
I backed up the OVM 3.0.1 in ovsbackup.dmp file with exp command like written in documentation.
Then I installed OVM 3.0.1 on new machine, and tried to import .dmp file using imp command also from documentation.
Import terminated successfully with some warnings. After that I log on OVM console, but it's empty; no servers, no FC storage like I had on old machine. I've restarted weblogic server using ./stopWeblogic and ./startWeblogic scripts on OVM server machine. Also I've restarted XE OVM's database, but still nothing.
My VM's are running, I contact with them through VNC, or remote desktop but now I cannot manage them.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

The uuid can be found on every OVM server(of course registred ones with old OVM manager) in server file in /etc/ovs-agent/db/ folder. Also, I found my uuid number in mounted pool folder(something like poolmnt) in file .ovspoolfs.
I reinstalled OVM manager, imported dump file, and then Discovered my OVM servers. Then I've rescaned items on my pool, and stuffs(templates, iso's, virtual disks....) showed up. Finally, I rediscovered every server, and VM's showed up.
Thanks for helpful infos. :)

How to restore a used iphone with another iphone's backup?

Hi,
My husband broke his iphone so I made him a deal: I get to buy the new 3G S, and he can have my 3G. Here's my problem. I restored my brand-new 3G S from my 3G's backup when I came home from purchasing it and all is great there. Now I'm trying to restore my old 3G with a backup of mu husband's iPhone. I switched the SIMs and so his number now works on my old 3G, but it still has all of my contacts and everything. When I hook it up into iTunes I don't see an option to restore that phone with a different backup, because of course it recognizes that phone and has backups from it already. In iTunes, I have to date backed up my husband's old (broken)original iPhone, my old 3G and my new 3G S. Want to restore the 3G with original iPhone's backup.
Thanks for help! Will mark solved/helpful.

I did this (but the other way round - she gets the old one and I get the new one - Bwahahahahaha!!!!)
Anyway (sorry about that - it's the heat), I did the restore on her 'new' phone, and iTunes asked at some point whether I wanted to restore as <whatever we called her phone originally> or as a new iPhone.
I chose 'new iPhone' and resynced everything from iTunes, but you could choose 'husband's phone' and restore from an existing backup.

HI JLK,
i think i have solved the problem. Try to install the Oracle Role Manager with the installer and select the "Install Software and Configure" and install the "Standard Model" to the Database. Don't deploy the standard.car file.
I hope i could help you.

Can I restore a WRT300N with WRT350N Backup

I am using a WRT350N (ver 1) and have an "older" WRT300N (ver 1.1) as a backup. Can I restore to the WRT300N with the backup of settings made from the WRT350N. I use MAC filtering and have 15 MAC addresses and certain access restrictions so the ability to do this would save time. If not, can I restore to another WRT350N?
Stosh

In general, you cannot restore settings (using a router configuration file) from one model or version of a router to another. Each router model and version has different hardware built into it, and therefore has unique firmware, and a unique set of firmware settings.
In general, if you save a router configuration file, you should only use it to restore settings if:
1) the router is the same model and version, and
2) the firmware is the same version, and
3) the router was running correctly when you saved the router configuration file.

WCI single sign on(SSO) configurations with Oracle Access Manager(OAM)

Any answer to the last question on..?
No, better explain my query with 2 scenarios:
Scenario 1:
Usual scenario authentication of a user to a web application without the single web functionality on the acces single manager:
Login screen of the web application ====> Access to the web application home
Scenario 2:
Scenario authentication of a user to a single web application with web functionality on the acces single manager:
Login screen oracle access manager ====> Display login web application ====> Access to the web application home
My query is:
You can configure the functionality of single sign on to access manager with a web application that does not have its login screen of the web application. For example:
Login screen oracle access manager ====> Access to the web application home

RMAN via OEM: Skipping days with incremental backups

Hello,
I've searched the forums and browsed much of the documentation on OTN but have not found the answer to my question. I am using RMAN (through Oracle Enterprise Manager) to schedule backups. I want to get full database backups on Fridays and incrementals Monday through Thursday. I would like to have the backups running at 11 PM each night. I have scheduled the full database backups to occur every Friday. The problem is I cannot schedule the incrementals to skip Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I don't want incrementals on Friday since the full database backup will be running. No transactions are occurring on Saturday or Sunday so there is no need to backup on those days either.
Thank you for any help,
Paul Lohr

Sorry I didn't see this before, but it wasn't on the most recent posts. Please see related post here OVM Sparc - Can't discover local disks
The net is that the initial support for Oracle VM Manager with Oracle VM Server for SPARC only supports NFS for repository (and virtual disks). A later release will permit virtual disks from FC SAN, iSCSI, and local disk as well as NFS. The linked not provides more information and a link to beta code. regards, Jeff
