Solaris in Logical Partition and Internet Configuration
Hi !
I'm really passionate about this unix-solaris thing.
But these nudges are pulling me back from installing it actually in my hard drive.
And also there is the Internet configuration problem.
Problem:1
I have 2 IDE HDD.
Primary HDD: 80 GB
VolumeName-Type-Size
SystemBoot-Primary/Active/NTFS-100 MB
Extended Partition:
VISTA-Logical/NTFS-20 GB
2008-Logical/NTFS-10 GB
Data-Logical/NTFS-25 GB
Music-Logical/NTFS-9.42 GB
Solaris-Logical/BLANK-10GB .....Blank = No FS. Used Acronis DD10 for it.
Slave HDD: 40 GB
Extended Partition:
XP-Logical/NTFS-10GB
Fedora9-Logical/ext3-10GB
SWAP-Logical/SWAP-2GB
OpenSUSE103-Logical/ext3-15.25 GB
When I came to HDD configuration stage of installation,
I selected the pre-selected c0d0(bootdisk) ---Primary HDD/80GB.
But when I proceeded further it showed me:
Warning � The initial fdisk information found on the disk
c0d0 was invalid. Defaulting the entire disk to a Solaris partition.
So I aborted the installation.
I tried one more time, by changing the Solaris Blank logical drive to a primary partition.
But it didn't work.
Now I think Solaris 10 cannot be installed in a logical drive or more broadly speaking(assuming) it cannot be installed in HDD having logical drives,it should be all primary partitions.
Please help me on this.
I'm sick of installing it in VMWare.
Problem: 2
How am I supposed to configure my network connection.
I connect to my ISP using WAN Miniport(PPPOE).
It allots me dynamic IP(v4).
I read somewhere DNS should f.root-servers.net and in a magazine, a.solaris.net
I never came across such a thing in even in linux.
Problem: 3
If there is not so �feasible� solution to problem 1, VMWare Workstation comes into play.
And here too, I need help for configuration of network connection.
These are the values that I got when I installed Windows XP in the VMWare.

Finding whole mapping from database file - filesystems - logical volume manager - logical partitions
Hello,
Trying to make reverse engeneering of database files and their physical carriers on logical partitions ( fdisk ).
And not able to make whole path from filesystem down to partitions with intermediate logical volumes.
1. select from dba_data_files ...
2. df -k
to get the listing of filesystems
3. vgdisplay
4. lvdisplay
5. cat /proc/partitions
6. fdisk /dev/sda -l
fdisk /dev/sdb -l
Problem I have is that not able to determine which partitions are consisten in logical volumes. And then which logical volumens are consisted in filesystem.
Thank you for hint or direction.Hello Wadhah,
Before start the discussion let me explain I am newcommer to Oracle Linux. My genetic with dba experience of Oracle is from IBM UNIX ( AIX 6.1 ) and Oracle 11gr2.
First task is to get the complete picture of one database on Oracle Linux for future maintenance tasks and make database more flexible and
preparing for more intense work:
-adding datafiles,
-optimize/replace archive redolog files on separated filesystem from ORACLE_BASE
- separating auditing log files from $ORACLE_BASE to own filesystem
- separating diag directory on separated file system ( logging, tracing )
- adding/enlarging TEMP ts
- adding/enlarging undo
- enlarging redo for higher transaction rate ( to reduce number of switched per time perceived in alert_SID.log )
- adding online redo and control files mirrors
So in this context try to inspect content of the disk space from the highest logical level in V$, DBA views down to fdisk partitions.
The idea was to go in these steps:
1. select paths of present online redo groups, datafiles, controlfiles, temp, undo
from V$, dba views
2. For the paths got from the step 1
locate filesystems and for those filesystems inspect which are on logical volumens and which are directly on partitions.
3. For all used logical volumes locate the logical partitions and their disks /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, ... -
Resizing a logical partition with a LUKS container
I have a logical partition that contains LUKS which holds an LVM2 schema. My goal is to resize the existing logical partition so I can create other partitions in their own LUKS-encrypted container. So far, the LVM2 PV is resized and I'm looking for advice on how to handle shrinking the LUKS container and the logical partition it lives on.
I heard rumors that LUKS containers don't need to be resized and that I can change the size of the block device it lives on without problems. Is this true? If so, it seems like I should be able to delete the logical partition and replace it with a smaller one as usual. How can I calculate the blocks/sectors/etc for the new partition with the LUKS & LVM2 data on there?

Dual booting Arch and Vista w/ recovery partition and a swap question.
I have a bit of a problem. The problem is, on a machine, you can only have 4 primary partitions. sda1 and sda2 are my Vista and Recovery partitions respectively, which eliminates two of my primary partitions already. I myself have never used logical partitions, and was wondering if any of the partitions the Beginner's Guide recommends (/, swap, /var, and /home) could be made logical, and if I even need a swap partition. Thanks in advance for your replies and suggestions.
The /boot/ directory needs to reside in a primary partition. Everything else can be in a logical partition.
Then again all you really need is / and swap. -

In the global zone, you can run something like the following:

I'm getting the following error message when attempting to invoke "Find My Mac"
Some configurations such as a software or hardware RAID do not support a recovery partition and can't be used with Find My Mac.You have no recovery partition. This is a normal condition if your boot volume is a software RAID, or if you modified the partition table after running Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition. Otherwise, you need to reinstall OS X in order to add a recovery partition.
If you don't have a current backup, you need to back up before you do anything else.
You have several options for reinstalling.
1. If you have access to a local, unencrypted Time Machine backup volume, and if that volume has a backup of a Mac (not necessarily this one) that was running the same major version of OS X and did have a Recovery partition, then you can boot from the Time Machine volume into Recovery by holding down the option key at the startup chime. Encrypted Time Machine volumes are not bootable, nor are network backups.
2. If your Mac shipped with OS X 10.7 or later preinstalled, or if it's one of the computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery, you may be able to netboot from an Apple server by holding down the key combination option-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
3. Use Recovery Disk Assistant (RDA) on another Mac running the same major version of OS X as yours to create a bootable USB device. Boot your Mac from the device by holding down the option key at startup.Warning: All existing data on the USB device will be erased when you use RDA.
Once you've booted into Recovery, the OS X Utilities screen will appear. Follow the prompts to reinstall OS X. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
If none of the above choices is open to you, then you'll have to start over from an OS X 10.6.8 installation. There's no need to overwrite your existing boot volume; you can use an external drive. Install 10.6 from the DVD you originally used to upgrade, or that came with the machine. Run Software Update and install all available updates. Log into the App Store with the Apple ID you used to buy 10.7 or later, and download the installer. When you run it, be sure to choose the right drive to install on. -

Logical standby and truncate partition
Hi,
I'm evaluation whether a logical standby database would meet our needs.
We have a live database and want a reporting database that is identical to the live one, just minutes behind in time to the live one, plus we want to create other summary tables etc on the reporting db.
Logical standby seems to meet our needs but I have one query.
- On the live db the most of the tables are organized by date partitions and only 5 days are kept with new partitions being created every night for the forthcoming days and the oldest date partitions being truncated.
On the reporting database we want to keep 30 days partitions.
Can we have all the DDL and DML from live being applied to the standby APART from the specific truncate partition statements?
Many Thanks,
KailasAddendum.
If you can , it is better to truncate the partition but not drop it, after exporting the partition for archive purposes. If you ever need to bring the data back, the data will go into the correct partition . If the table structure has been changed by adding or lengthening columns, this will still work OK where column names match.
Test ease of restoration of archived data to existing and non-existing partitions with altered structure (dropped columns,added columns, renamed columns) for yourself though.
Regards, Vin.
PS. When splitting maxdata partition to create new 'highest' partition, use a small initial extent then the 'next' being the expected real size needed. When the partition is truncated, the only space that should remain un-claimable will be that allocated for the initial extent. -
Logical Volume Group and Logical Partition not matching up in free space
I was dual booting Windows 7 and Mountain Lion. Through Disk Utility, I removed the Windows 7 Partition and expanded the HFS+ partition to encompass the entire hard drive. However, the Logical Volume Group does not think that I have that extra free space. The main problem is that I cannot resize my partition. I am wanting to dual boot Ubuntu with this. Any ideas? Any help is appreciated. I will post some screenshots with the details. Furthermore, here are some terminal commands I ran: /dev/disk0

How to Configure logical path and how to retrieve physical path for an IDOC
Hi ,
I want to configure logical path for an IDOC,
and then I need to retrieve Physical path from this logical path
using a FM (eg. FILE_GET_NAME).
How to configure the logical path for an idoc ?
Regards ,
Harshit RungtaUsing Logical Files in ABAP Programs
To create a physical file name from a logical file name in your ABAP programs, use the function module FILE_GET_NAME. To insert the function module call in your program, choose Edit ® Insert statement from the ABAP Editor screen. A dialog box appears. Select Call Function and enter FILE_GET_NAME. The parameters of this function module are listed below.
Import parameters
Parameters
Function
CLIENT
The maintenance tables for the logical files and paths are client-dependent. Therefore, the desired client can be imported. The current client is stored in the system field SY-MANDT.
LOGICAL_FILENAME
Enter the logical file name in upper case letters that you want to convert.
OPERATING_SYSTEM
You can import any operating system that is contained in the list in Transaction SF04 (see Assigning Operating Systems to Syntax Groups). The physical file name will be created according to the syntax group to which the operating system is linked. The default parameter is the value of the system field
SY-OPSYS.
PARAMETER_1
PARAMETER_2
If you specify these import parameters, the reserved words in the physical path names will be replaced by the imported values.
USE_PRESENTATION
_SERVER
With this flag you can decide whether to import the operating system of the presentation server instead of the operating system imported by the parameter OPERATING_SYSTEM.
WITH_FILE_EXTENSION
If you set this flag unequal to SPACE, the file format defined for the logical file name is appended to the physical file name.
Export Parameters
Parameters
Function
EMERGENCY_FLAG
If this parameter is unequal to SPACE, no physical name is defined in the logical path. An emergency physical name was created from table FILENAME and profile parameter DIR_GLOBAL.
FILE_FORMAT
This parameter is the file format defined for the logical file name. You can use this parameter, for example, to decide in which mode the file should be opened.
FILE_NAME
This parameter is the physical file name that you can use with the ABAP statements for working with files.
Exception Parameters
Parameters
Function
FILE_NOT_FOUND
This exception is raised if the logical file is not defined.
OTHERS
This exception is raised if other errors occur.
Suppose the logical file MYTEMP and the logical path TMP_SUB are defined as in the preceding topics and we have the following program:
DATA: FLAG,
FORMAT(3),
FNAME(60).
WRITE SY-OPSYS.
CALL FUNCTION 'FILE_GET_NAME'
EXPORTING
LOGICAL_FILENAME = 'MYTEMP'
OPERATING_SYSTEM = SY-OPSYS
PARAMETER_1 = '01'
IMPORTING
EMERGENCY_FLAG = FLAG
FILE_FORMAT = FORMAT
FILE_NAME = FNAME
EXCEPTIONS
FILE_NOT_FOUND = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE: / 'Flag :', FLAG,
/ 'Format :', FORMAT,
/ 'Phys. Name:', FNAME.
ENDIF.
The output appears as follows:
HP-UX
FLAG :
FORMAT : BIN
Phys. Name: /tmp/TEST01
In this example, the R/3 System is running under the operating system HP-UX, which is member of the syntax group UNIX. The logical file name MYTEMP with the logical path TMP_SUB is converted into a physical file name /tmp/TEST01 as defined for the syntax group UNIX. The field FNAME can be used in the further flow of the program to work with file TEST01 in directory /tmp.
Suppose we have a logical file name EMPTY with the physical file name TEST, connected to a logical path that has no specification of a physical path. If you replace the EXPORTING parameter 'MYTEMP' with 'EMPTY' in the above example, the output appears as follows:
HP-UX
FLAG : X
FORMAT :
Phys. Name: /usr/sap/S11/SYS/global/TEST
The system created an emergency file name, whose path depends on the installation of the current R/3 System. -
Configuring ALE Logical Systems and Partner Profiles
hi,
Trying to build a scenario which deals with two third party systems transfering XML file from one to another. Sender is using a file adapter. Reciever is using an Idoc adapter. However the pre-requisite mentioned for this exercise are that ALE logical systems and partner profiles must be configured (these steps are not outlined in the exercise) . Could i get help on what steps i need to carry out for sender/reciever to configure logical systems and partner profiles.
regards,
ManpreetHi Manpreet
At the R/3 system the partner profile should be maintained for both the third parties.
for creating the partner profile go to transaction we20, give the
partner number :your logical system name or customer number or vendor no
partner type:LS(logical system)or ku(customer)OR LI(vendor)
give the message type in the outbound parameters
after this double click on the message type and give the login deatils for the RFC destination define the port and all
if you still have problem please reply back
Thanks

Merge physical and logical partitions
How do I extend my physical arch partition with an unallocated space logical partition?
I want to add an unallocated space logical partition to a physical partition
