Simple Question but have yet to find any info

Let say I am setting up a database on one machine and I want it to live migrate to another - I have 4 luns - lets say /OVS for shared reporsitory - /pr01 - oracle binaries - /prdb for database files and /prlg for logs -
I know I need to make the OVS ocfs2 - now do I create 2 Vm's and how do I present the other luns to the server - Do I have to ocfs2 these also ? - or do I just edit vm.cfg and add them in as say ext3 filesystems ?
Thanks for help - This is not RAC

Greetings,
Q: Let say I am setting up a database on one machine and I want it to live migrate to another - I have 4 luns - lets say /OVS for shared repository - /pr01 - oracle binaries - /prdb for database files and /prlg for logs -
I know I need to make the OVS ocfs2 - now do I create 2 Vm's and how do I present the other luns to the server - Do I have to ocfs2 these also ? - or do I just edit vm.cfg and add them in as say ext3 filesystems?
A: Please note that you have two option, a) 4 LUNs or b) use 1 LUN for /OVS and 3 shared virtual disks, i.e. pr01.img, prdb.img and prlg.img located in the /OVS/SharedDisk directory. Let's break down each option.
Q: How do I present the other luns to the server.
A: You present all the LUNs to each "Oracle VM server" using the identical configuration, i.e. please see http://itnewscast.com/chapter-6-oracle-vm-22-san-iscsi-and-nfs-backend-storage-configurations#SAN_Storage_Repository_Configuration for configuration details.
Q: Do I have to ocfs2 these also?
A: If you mean using OCFS2 for the /pr01,/prdb and /prlg LUNs, the answer is not really. You could provision the LUNs and format each LUN with ext3, then present the LUNs to each host and then in each guest in it's vm.cfg file. Please see http://itnewscast.com/chapter-6-oracle-vm-22-san-iscsi-and-nfs-backend-storage-configurations#SAN_Storage_Repository_Configuration for the hosts and http://itnewscast.com/chapter-6-oracle-vm-22-san-iscsi-and-nfs-backend-storage-configurations#Oracle_VM_Guest_Front-end_Storage for the guest configuration details.
Please note that the option to use shared virtual disks for the /pr01,/prdb and /prlg directories would create a separate file backed block device, i.e. pr01.img, prdb.img and prlg.img file for each directory in the /OVS storage repository located in the /OVS/SharedDisk/ directory. Shared virtual disks are available and manageable in Oracle VM Manager. This option would only require one LUN, i.e. for the /OVS root storage repository. Live Migration with this configuration is an integrated feature, i.e. nothing to configure other than a root storage repository, i.e. http://itnewscast.com/chapter-6-oracle-vm-22-san-iscsi-and-nfs-backend-storage-configurations#SAN_Storage_Repository_Configuration
Q: do I just edit vm.cfg and add them in as say ext3 filesystems?
A: Yes, each option (luns or shared v disks) will require entries for each of the LUNs or shared virtual disks in each guest's vm.cfg file. Ext3 can be used for each lun.
I hope this helps!
Respectfully,
Roddy

    I had an issue running Bridge CS6 on my laptop yesterday and after failing to troubleshoot I un-installed it from my system but have yet to find any way to download/reinstall it. I have web design premium and tried uninstalling/reinstalling photoshop and illutsrator as I'd seen bridge was coupled with those but had no luck. Is it possible to download bridge as a stand alone with a web design premium license for cs6

    restart your design premium installation, select custom install and you should see options to pick which programs you want to install.

  • I was surfing the net when my computer started emitting double beeps. I shut it down with no problem but I can't find any info on double beeps that did not occur at startup (haven't tried starting it back up yet though). What happened?

    Quite the trial to sign in to freaking Apple support.  I apparently made an account with my primary e-mail, but damned if I can recover the password, apparently I don't know my own birthday.  So I had to make a new account with another e-mail, and even when I thought it was done, no, I had to fill out more information before I could get to this screen.  You won't let me ask for tech support from your message board without my mailing address?  Then my completely inoccuous user name was rejected for containing banned words.  Lemurs and cats are profane now, what?  This is why I hate computers.
    Anyway, I've got Mac OS X 4.something, can't check because it is shut down, and I already described my problem in the subject there before I got dragged back into account creation.  I searched several places for answers but all I can find are discussions about double beeping at startup (even when excluding the word "startup" from search results), while my double beeping started all of a sudden when the computer was in use.  The beeps were certainly less than a minute apart.  What happened? What do I need to do about it? Is it safe to start the computer up again?  Fortunately my files are pretty much all backed up.

    I don't know if we are experiencing the same problem, but this is what I did and it seemed to work for me so far.
    Before anything I had to hard restart my laptop. hold power button until off then turn back on.
    In Finder click on Go, then click Go to Folder.  in the dialogue box type
    /var/db/crls
    In that folder there are two files that you need to move to the trash
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You will need to type in your password to move these to the trash.
    Restart your computer and then Empty the Trash.  It is very important that you empty the trash afterwards.  I forgot to do this the first time and I had to restart the whole process.  It has been a few days and I have been without any problems.
    I am not claiming this process to be my own, I found it on another discussion thread and it worked for me. I don't have a link to it because I had to use someone else's computer and had no luck trying to find it again. This is the procedure I followed, I do remember it well and I wrote down the steps because I had to do it twice and got tired of combing through all of the websites I have searched looking for a fix to my problem.  Hopefully this helps, and try it at your own risk of course.
    Let me know if you try it and it works or not, good luck.

  • I've transferred. Some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app ''simple transfer'' but I can't find the option to delete those photos from iPhone, if any body knows let me know please??

    I've tranferred some photos in my iPhone 4s using the app called simple transfer lite, but still can't find any option to delete those photos, if any body knows how to do this please let me know.

    I have a suggestion, noted below,  but I'd like a little more information please.  Are you saying that after you've transfered photos to your PC or Mac you want to then delete them from the iPhone?  If they're photos taken with the iPhone couldn't you just go back into Camera roll and delete them there?
    I had a similar situation with my parent's iPhone and iPad.  I synced a couple of folders of photos via iTunes on their laptop to the iPad.  The intent was to use the slideshow feature on the iPad as a digital photo frame.  To save time, I had synced all the photos in the folders, thinking that my mom could delete the pics she didn't want.  After doing this I found I couldn't delete any of the pictures synced this way.  I came to find out that pictures contained in folders synced via iTunes cannot be deleted from the iOS device.
    A friend suggested a paid app called PhotoSync.  It's $1.99 and no, I have absolutely no connection to the deveolper.  It's just an app that does exactly what I needed it to do.  After transfering photos you can go into camera roll or an album and delete them.  There is a companion free app that you install on your PC or Mac that makes the transfers very easy.
    I have less than 15 apps on my iPhone.  I generally like free apps but, as I've said, I found this app does what I needed to do so I was happy to spend the money.
    Good luck.

  • In Blurb trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.

    I am in Blurb, trying to upload an album that I have prepared in Adobe ELements 10.  To upload I need to navigate in my computer to whatever Adobe folder has the album, but I can't find any Adobe files that way.  So I wanted to save the album to
    an external drive where I could be sure to find them for the upload
    But when I tried to copy the photo album, the dialog box said that the photos will be deleted from the main program.  I didn't like the sound of that, so I chose "Backup" which seems to have copied everything from Adobe to my eternal drive, not just the photo album that I want.  To make matters worse, but exported folder named for my photo album is not the group of photos that I assembled in Adobe.
    How do I upload directly from Adobe the program on my hard drive so I can be sure it is the correct assemblage of photos?

    The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

  • Custom report layout question...can't find any answers anywhere

    I am trying to build a report in Portal, using the custom report layout. The report displays like so, before I do any customization:
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN1 COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    where COLUMN1 is the same value, always per report; COLUMN2 and COLUMN3 vary.
    What I want is:
    COLUMN1
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    COLUMN2 COLUMN3
    In the report layout editor, Body section, this is what I see:
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
    so #COLUMN1.FIELD# must be some kind of array, but I am not finding any documentation anywhere on how to reference the individual values. All I need is the very first value of the COLUMN1 variable. Once I have that value, I can put it where I need it, but I can't get at that value, just the array.
    I have searched portal center, the app server documentation, html documentation. I have googled everything I could think of, but came up with nothing. I found a similar question on this forum, but no one responded with an answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Helen,
    The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
    however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
    anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
    use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
    SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
    FROM my_source_table
    WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
    UNION
    SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
    FROM my_source_table
    WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
    ---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:
    <!--- header --->
    <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">
    <!--- body --->
    <tr align="center">
    <td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
    <tr align="center">
    <TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
    </tr>
    </table>
    </td>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
    <TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
    </tr>
    <!--- footer --->
    <TR><TD></TD></TR>
    this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
    with kind regards,
    naqvi

  • I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? Where are they?

    I just updated my Firefox version to 3.6, but I can't find any detials in My Bookmarks now? They are not in the Favorites folder which is in the local drive either.

    1. The version of Firefox that you posted here with looks like Firefox 2.0, based on the UserAgent string this forum read from the browser being used. Is that what you updated from? <br />
    ''See this to fix your UserAgent string - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser ''
    2. If you ever used a Firefox 3.0+ version in the last three years and then went back to the Firefox 2.0 version, the 3.6 version you now have is using your old bookmarks file from when you previously had a Firefox 3.0+ version in use.
    3. Firefox doesn't use the IE Favorites folder for storing bookmarks. Firefox bookmarks are stored in the Profile folder, in the file format appropriate to the version of Firefox being used. Firefox 2.0.0.x and earlier versions, it was the '''bookmarks.html''' file and in Firefox 3.0 and newer version, it is the '''places.sqlite''' file.
    4. What do you want to do as far as bookmarks go? <br />
    Import your IE Favorites into Firefox 3.6? <br />
    Or, restore the bookmarks that you were recently using in Firefox 2.0?

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.
