Setting Storage Classification on Local Storage (e.g. local SSDs.)

Hi all, I'm integrating SCVMM 2012 SP1 on Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V with XenDesktop 7. When defining storage resources in XenDesktop, it can see the 'Local Storage' classification from SCVMM and use that for VM placement.
What this does though, is treat all local disks that have been marked by SCVMM as 'Available for Placement' as that Local Storage. (i.e. in the SCVMM console, view the properties of a Hyper-V host, select 'Available for placement' on specified volumes under
Hardware and then under Storage view the Storage Classifications on each physical drive.
Instead, I'd like to be able to treat each physical direct attached drive as a separate location for XenDesktop VM placement. To that end, I've been looking at setting a different storage classification for each physical drive I'm targeting. I assume this
is the right approach as XenDesktop looks to query SCVMM for the storage classifications to define VM placement.
When attempting to change a storage classification on a physical drive in the host properties in SCVMM, I receive the following error:
Virtual Machine Manager
VMM is unable to process one of the provided parameters for the cmdlet (Set-SCStorageDisk):
Cannot convert 'System.Object[]' to the type 'Microsoft.SystemCenter.VirtualMachineManager.StorageDisk' required by parameter 'StorageDisk'. Specified method is not supported.
Try the operation again. If the issue persists, contact Microsoft Help and Support.

OK
Directly running the PowerShell code returns the same error (as you would expect).
$vmHost = Get-SCVMHost -ID "31ddbd43-b14f-42a1-9326-710b45eec45d"
$storageClassification = Get-SCStorageClassification -Name "Local Drive D" -ID "a818fcbb-3346-49c4-837b-df2be834f7f7"
$hostDisk = Get-SCStorageDisk -VMHost $vmHost -Name "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0"

Interestingly, if I change $hostDisk to $hostDisk[0], the Set-SCStorageDisk line runs and produces no error, but this does not actually achieve the desired effect.
Can anyone offer some thoughts or reasons why I would be seeing this? Or am I going about this the wrong way (and thus failing).

Local Storage Setting Not Persisting.

Hi all,
I'm having a problem trying to increase the local storage
setting in my Flash Player. Since I installed the flash player the
local storage setting was set to None. Each time I try to increase
it and then go back to settings panel it has reset itself to None.
I think this is an issue with my machine, is there anything that
could cause this problem? Permissions on a directory perhaps? I
have seen that local storage information is stored in
%APPDATA%/Macromedia/Flash Player... but this directory does not
exist for my user.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

I am having the same problem. I even used the online Global
Manager and it kept going back to zero!
I am also having problems with the "Display" hardware
accelerator keeping my flash from going
to fullscreen. I can't uncheck the stupid thing! I am Going
step after step of uninstalling everything
completely and re-installing it again. Vista came with the
2nd version before this new one and it didn't
have the hardware accelerator option. It worked fine with IE,
but I use Firefox and had to download the newest
and achiest. If I find a solution, I will definitely write
back with it.

How do i change my local storage setting.

i am trying to get an app and its 151 mb i have 280 mb free and its telling me i need more local storage and to go to settings but i cant figure it out

You need to delete some items from your iPod. To purchase/download/install an app can take about three times the file-download size.

Retrieve variable value from local Storage and display on canvas

Hi
I'm working on a project that has multiple html files (the projects are split into 12 so 12 different edge projects and im linking them via window.open()). I have a variable that keeps track of correct answers stored in LocalStorage html object. I have managed to get the localStorage variable to increment up by one each time the object is correct however my last step is to get the variable and them display the result on the canvas. I have tried
var outPut localStorage.getItem(' ') method to retrieve the variable then used the set and get method to display the result however it doesn't work. Im not sure if I need a for loop to go though the localStorage and get the elements
Code:
// insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
yepnope({nope:['jquery-ui-1.10.0.custom.min.js','jquery.ui.touch-punch.min.js'],complete: init}); // load the jquery files
sym.setVariable("myScore", 0);
var c = localStorage["myCount"] || 0; //loading from localStorage
function init(){
sym.getSymbol("barLimit").$('scrubber').draggable({start: function(e){
},drag: function(e,ui){ // start: ... // Find original position of dragged image
var leftLimitScrubber = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('scrubber').position().left; // position of the scrubber
var rightLimitScrubber = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('leftLimit').position().left;
var LimitTwoLeft = sym.getSymbol('barLimit').$('rightLimit').position().left;
if(leftLimitScrubber == rightLimitScrubber){
sym.getSymbol('correctBar1').play('in'); //
sym.getSymbol('nextButton').play('in');
sym.getSymbol('incorrectBar1').play('out'); //
sym.getSymbol('thumbsDown1').play('out'); //
sym.getSymbol('thumbsUp1').play('in'); //
sym.getSymbol('congrats').play('in'); //
localStorage["myCount"] = parseInt(c)+1; //Converting string to number, and then saving it
console.log("numberOfCorrectAnswers", localStorage["myCount"]);
var finalScore = sym.getVariable("myScore");
finalScore = c;
sym.setVariable("myScore", finalScore);
sym.$("Score").html(finalScore);
} else if(leftLimitScrubber == LimitTwoLeft){
sym.getSymbol('incorrectBar1').play('in');
sym.getSymbol('correctBar1').play('out');
sym.getSymbol('thumbsUp1').play('out');
sym.getSymbol('thumbsDown1').play('in');
axis: "x",
containment: "parent"
       //for (var i = 0; i < localStorage.length; i++){ // iterate throught the local storage
         //var getItem = localStorage.getItem(localStorage.key(i));
          //if(getItem == 'numberOfCorrectAnswers' ){
The above is the code for the 12th project in this projects it needs to display the variable inside the object localStorage and display on the canvas.
Any help will mean a lot. Thank You in advance
P.S edge animate has a lot of bugs hard to code in

what you need to do is to create a text box and set a default value of zero. Once that is don't you need a code on the stage which grabs the value form the localStorage object. I used the .text() jquery method to display the value on the canvas. So the zero will be replaced with whatever the value of the localStorage is.
You also need a if statement to check if the localStorage is undefined, if its not then grab the value and display on the canvas.
e.g
var number = localStorage['finalValue']; // for the sake of completeness I had to put this line of code
if( number ! = undefined){ // if not undefined so the object exits then ...
     sym.$(' (text identifier) '). text(number); // note text identifier is the name of the text box you create in edge
} // Done

Moving Photos from iCloud Photo Library to Local Storage

Scenario - I've a fully migrated library of photos/videos using iCloud Photo Library on iPhone and Mac. It's near the limit of the iCloud storage plan I purchased and want to retain. I'd like to move older and less frequently used content from iCloud Photo Library to more permanent archival storage.
[This is for two reasons. First, I prefer to use the Full Resolution setting on mobile devices, and that will be impossible as the entire library grows beyond the storage capacity of even the largest mobile devices. Second, I don't feel the need to pay for super-sized iCloud storage for content rarely needed and only needed on a Mac.]
The only option I've identified in Photos to do this is to Export (and delete from iCloud), which exports the original photos, but does not preserve useful Photos metadata and organization, such as Albums.
What one would might like to see is a way to designate selection portions of the Library for local storage only (including backup within the Photos app library package), so those photos can be manipulated within Photos alongside iCloud content, but don't consume iCloud or mobile device space. Or, in the alternative, one would like to see a way to Export content to merge into a separate Photos library package, preserving the metadata/organization. In that way, one could maintain one Photos library as current iCloud synced content, and one or more local-only Photos library packages with archival content (with, importantly, the Export function to move content between the two preserving metadata).
Does anyone know if there's a way to do this? If not, Apple, would you consider coming up with a way to address this need?

Well I was able to move photos from the camera roll to the photo library by sending *the pictures via email to my dad's blackberry, then saving them to my computer from his phone, then putting them back on into the photo library*.
This is what I said originally.
{quote:title=Nissin101 wrote @ 4:08pm EMT:}{quote}
Alright I guess that answers my question then. However, just as I said I was able to transfer photos from my camera roll to my photo library, so at least that is possible.
I never said that I did it directly, neither did I mean to imply that I was looking for a direct solution. This I guess is where our misunderstanding comes from. I just did not feel like repeating the whole process I went through. Regardless, I would rather this thread not derail into who said what and whose misunderstanding who. I now know that it is not possible to get pictures from the photo library to the camera roll in any way, so my question is answered for now at least.

Adobe Flash FAIL: Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect. Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer.

Using a Windows 2012 RDS Environment, we have users connecting to a CPD website, and as part of the CPD they need to run a systems checker. When they run the systems checker they get the following error message: "Adobe Flash FAIL: Adobe Flash Player local storage settings incorrect. Module 'Resume' feature may not work on this computer". All users are connecting to this environment with Windows CE Clients,I have checked the setting on Adobe Flash and they seem correct but as each user has its own profile on the RDS session, is there something that I should be setting for each user. I have added the website to the trusted sites and it has made no difference. Any ideas

It sounds like what's happening is that Flash Player can't write or read from the local shared objects in the user's redirected home directory because we disallow traversing junctions in the broker process. This behavior was disabled to address a vulnerability identified in some of John Forshaw's research into the IE broker last year.
You can enable this behavior by adding the following setting to mms.cfg:
EnableInsecureJunctionBehavior=1
That said, you can probably gather from the name of the flag that we don't really recommend this approach, and disable this attack surface by default. There's some risk that a network attacker could craft content that abuses fundamental issues with how Windows handles Junctions to write to arbitrary locations.
Unfortunately, there's not a simple or easy workaround that I'm aware of (but it's been ages since I've administered a Windows domain) for this kind of NAS/SAN-backed terminal server environment where Flash is not able to access \Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\ without traversing a junction.

VSphere 6, can't use FT with local storage

Hi guys,
Now that I have figured out that when turning on FT without shared storage results in no datastores being shown in the FT dialog box in the web client, I've run into a different problem (thus the new discussion topic).
When I turn on FT for a VM that is on local storage, I am now able to select the datastores, but when I select local storage for the secondary VM, I get a bunch of errors that tell me the secondary host can't reach the .vmx file (of course - that's why I needed the shared storage - for these little files). Shouldn't FT be copying the .vmx file and whatever else it needs to be shared to the right spot, since I've told it where that is? Do I need to move my VM to shared storage, then move my VMDKs and stuff to local storage manually?
Here's a screenshot of the dialog:
Here's the current hardware setup:
ESX1:
- IP: 192.168.220.51
- Datastores: ESX1-LocalStorage and NFS
ESX2:
- IP: 192.168.220.52
- Datastores: ESX2-LocalStorage and NFS
My primary VM for FT is on ESX2, and trying to get my secondary on ESX1.
Thanks!

gs_khalsa wrote:
The availability guide isn't accurate (I'll work on getting it corrected). The requirements for FT storage are:
- Shared storage: FT config file, tie-breaker file, primary VM vmx file
- Local storage: all other files (VMDKs, etc).
The limitation with this however is that FT can't move or replicate your VM files to a new location, so if the host where the primary VMs VMDKs are stored is unavailable FT won't be able to spin up a new secondary.
Example:
3 hosts (A, B, C)
Primary VM running on A - VMDKs stored on local storage
Secondary VM running on B - VMDKs stored on local storage
If host A fails, the secondary on B will take over and become primary. However, until host A comes back on-line FT will not be able to create a new secondary.
Does this make sense?
Hi, gs_khalsa,
That does make sense. It isn't all that I think people were hoping it'd be. I think a lot of people were envisioning setting up 2 or 3 hosts in a small environment with no shared storage, and using FT as a share-nothing setup that would ensure a VM never goes down as long as at least one host is alive and the VM isn't corrupted. It's 99% there, but the need for shared storage (that is presumably HA storage, since we don't want the storage to be our single point of failure) for 3 little files kills the vision. FT not being able to spin up a new secondary on a 3rd host seems like it could have been done, too, since FT obviously knows how - it just doesn't automatically assume it should use that 3rd host. Maybe it's more complex that it sounds to actually achieve. At least we have multiple vCPU support now, which is a big step forward. Maybe these smaller milestones will come about in sub-version upgrades *crosses fingers*.
By the way, I appreciate your responses - they've been very helpful in understanding how what I thought the new FT was and where that idea is off target. Thank you.

How do I get rid of the 'local storage' dialog once I deny it?

Whenever I try to view a video with IE11, an Adobe Flash Player Settings dialog opens up, covering the center of the video, saying:
Local Storage
www.whatever.com is requesting permission to store information on your computer.
Requested: up to 10 KB
Currently used: 0 KB
Allow or Deny
If I Deny, the unwanted, permanently annoying dialog remains, obscuring the center of the video and ruining the user experience, even though many videos still continue to run perfectly fine behind it.
My expectation is that once the question has been asked and answered, this ridiculous dialog needs to disappear!
I've intentionally set my Flash Player control panel to ask me whenever a site wants to store info on my HD, so I can avoid local storage whenever possible, yet occasionally be able to decide, depending on circumstances, to allow local storage to cure occasional jerky streaming video problems. The only other choices are to prevent all sites from storing, or allow all sites to store.
Is there a setting that will make this dialog go away once I've answered the question?

I suspect you are running into a "clickjacking" issue, specific to your system's dpi, video driver, or some related component. Please see this post for details:

Query about local storage

Hi,
     i had a query about local storage.
     I've a machine that hosts weblogic and tangosol. i've an ejb that accesses a distributed cache i.e NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.get("MyCache")
     i modified tangosol-coherence.xml and set local-storage to false ( for distributed cache) and replaced the file in coherence.jar.
     i'm using an overflow scheme and the back map uses a disk scheme.
     i also start a separate standalone instance of tangosol and i set the system property of local storage to true for the standalone instance.
     i start the standalone instance first and then weblogic.
     The idea is ensure that the tangosol instance in weblogic or the weblogic JVM should not participate in storing data (hence local storage false).
     only the JVM for the standalone instance should store data (hence local storage true -system property).
     i wanted to know whether the property "local-storage" is pertinent to a member(machine) or to a JVM?
     the reason for this doubt: as i'm using a disk scheme, tangosol creates a file for an overflow (e.g lh014402~.tp). i can see two such files when ideally i would have wanted only one for the tangosol instance.
     -rw-r--r-- 1 zephyr users 8364032 2005-06-23 17:02 lh014402~.tp
     -rw-r--r-- 1 zephyr users 8364032 2005-06-23 17:02 lh014403~.tp.
     can you please let me know if we can configure tangosol in such a way that we can two separate instances running with local stroage false for one and true for the other?
     Awaiting your reply
     Thanks
     Vinay

I would suggest leaving the default 'local-storage' value set to 'true' in the tangosol-coherence.xml and just use the JVM argument to control the local storage of each individual node. Then start the stand alone instance normally (I assume you are using the com.tangosol.net.DefaultCacheServer) and start the WebLogic instance with the following:
     java [...] -Dtangosol.coherence.distributed.localstorage=false [...]
     Hope this helps.
     Later,

Configuring NAS as local storage

This is not a specific question related directly to Oracle, but I'm hoping somebody can answer or point me in the proper direction. I'm working on setting up a Disaster Recovery system for my Oracle environment. Right now my DR system is such:
HP Proliant DL 385 (G5): 64-bit running Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 Update 2 and 10.2.0.4.0
IoMega StorPro Center NAS: Mounted as NFS, holds all database related files (control, redo and .dbf files)
I have everything working but the NAS is hooked up to the network, and thus my environment requires network connectivity which I obviously can't count on during a disaster. Is there anyway to configure the NAS as local storage so when I do not have network connectivity I can still access my files on it?
The vendor (IoMega) was of very little help. They tell me that I can plug the NAS directly into one of the NIC cards and "discover" the NAS that way. The problem is that the discovery agent does not run on Linux and they could not tell me how to get around this.
Anybody have some experience hooking up a NAS unit as local storage instead of NFS? I'm trying to put on my SA/Network/Storage hats as best as possible, but I have very little experience trying things like this.

I'm thinking out loud, so bear with me.
An NFS mount point does an important feature in a clustered environment: file system access serialization. Frequently the underlying NAS file system has been formatted with EXT3 or some other non-cluster aware file system; NFS performs the important locking and serialization to keep this from being corrupted in a cluster. Please keep this in mind when designing a disaster recovery solution.
What do you mean by "hooked to the network"? Do you mean you are using the public Internet or a corporate network?
Are they suggesting that you establish a private, direct connection to the NAS?
Find out how the NAS gets its network address. If it's using DHCP you will need to set up a local server and have the DHCP server listen only to the NIC/NICs where the NAS is plugged. Be sure the client NIC's have addresses on the same network as the NAS unit.
Bring up networking on the NAS NIC devices.
The bit about "discovering" the NAS file systems has me puzzled.
Once you figure that out, mount the NAS file systems somewhere on you system, but NOT IN THEIR PRODUCTION locations.
Now, set up your local machine as an NFS server. Publish the mount points as NFS exports, and then have your applications use these NFS mountpoints.

Automatic local storage when reading song with itunes match

Hello,
Is there anyway to disable the automatic storage (download) on the device (either iPhone/iPad) when reading a song stored in the cloud?
If not and that i'm reading my librairy shuffle, when will itunes match stop using my local storage (until it's full?)
This is particularly relevant on a wifi-ipad.
I understand Apple policy here because by storing locally we disminish the impact on their streaming servers but I think it's a really bad choice here.
Nicolas

No, there is no known way prevent an iOS device from downloading a song that you have decided to play from the cloud. It will not automatically download any music that you have not decided to play yet. You can manualy download a song or entire album however. There is a setting for your Music player that will let you toggle between songs that have been downloaded and those that are downloaded and/or available to you through the cloud. It's a good way to know for certain just how much music is on your iPad/iPhone.
It's my understanding that if at some point you have used up your local storage, then songs already downloaded would be systematically removed, but before that happens, it's probably best to swipe across albums or songs that you don't want to store locally any more and just delete them.

Local storage enabled per distributed-scheme

As the cache configuration xml allows you to specify local-storage true or falase for individual distributed-schemes it would seem that it is possible to have a stiuation where you have a cluster of nodes where each node is storage enabled for a different sub-set of caches/schemes.
I have never done this myself and always either storage enabled/disabled at the JVM level. Would having nodes with different caches/schemes storage enabled be a valid thing to do? I am not quite sure why I might want to do this but I was asked the question by one of our dev teams (I don't think they quite know they would want to do it either).
I suppose what I really want to know is has anyone done this before and if we did it is something likely to break?
Cheers,
JK.

Hi Jonathan,
yes, it is doable, only you usually would want to specify a different override Java property for the storage-enabled flag in each service scheme.
An example on when you want to do this is when there are different services storing data in (different) partitioned cache services (and usually they also have access to a database from a cache server, e.g. by a cache store) and you want to separate deployment of the server-side of the services to different nodes due to access control or provisioning reasons.
In these cases it is even possible that the server side of one service is the client side of another service, meaning that the cache configuration of both services need to exist in some JVMs.
I posted some additional info and configuration in this forum thread some months ago:
Re: Partitioned cache - where to put what config files?
Particularly look at the later posts in the thread
Best regards,
Robert

Local storage problem

I am running out of local storage , I deleted a lot of photos Notes games apps etc.. Yet I still cannot download a game I had , which was on the iPad but I deleted it ro refresh it . It also looks as if my available storage is going down the more I delete.

How much space is Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
