STORAGE CONCERN / QUESTION

I am trying to keep all of my media on my external HD. Ran into major frag probs.
When I am surfing the net, and I click on a quicktime clip, such as a movie trailer, I notice that after it is done loading, I can sometimes click on the down arrow to the right of the clip and then save it as a source to my desktop. But because it takes such little time to save this, does this mean that it has already downloaded to my drive???? If so, doesn't that mean that I am putting a great deal of media on my drive and then deleting the data when I leave that page on the site? After time, could this become a fragmentation problem on my disk?
If it is indeed downloading media to my drive, how can I have it download to my external Hard Drive instead?
Thanx in advance for any insight you can give me.

Hi
Yes you can manage N number of plants and its storage locations in one warehouse
In your example you think you may have like below given
Plant A, it is having five storage locations 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005.
And also you have Plant B; it is having three storage locations 0006, 0007, 0008
You can configure at Path: SPRO>Assignment>Logistics Execution-->Assign Warehouse number to plant/storage location
Here you can assign the Plant and storage locations to one warehouse, you may have ware house only one- 001
I,e
Plant    Storage location Warehouse
Plant A      0001                   001
Plant A      0002                  001
Plant A      0003                  001
Plant A     0004                   001
Plant A     0005                   001
Plant B     0006                    001
Plant B     0007                    001
Plant B     0008                    001
This is the main interface between IM and WM

Storage space question

I am recieving messages that my storage space is maxed out. I bought an external hard drive and connected that to the My Mac, and copied the files. What should I do next?

I am was afraid to delete the files from my internal drive. I have read that sometimes the external hard drives fail. I have emptied my trash. I have deleted my emails. Most of my storage is home videos.
ALL hard drives fail - the question is, when. The files on both your internal and external disks should be backed up, then delete files (and empty the trash!) from the internal that you have copied to the external. You should aim to have at least 20GB free on the internal.

Storage location question

Hi, All,
Do I need to maintain storage location for materials in material master data?
Which view or which functionality must maintain storage location in the material master data? Is it mandatory?
If I donu2019t maintain storage location, just plant. When I create purchase order, I donu2019t put storage location, but do goods receipt, I must input storage location, right? Can I put any storage location which belongs to that procurement plant, is it ok?
Another question is about Is there any T-code or way to check which plant, which storage location maintaing in the specific material?
Thanks in advance,

Do I need to maintain storage location for materials in material master data?
not neccessary but depends on the requirement of you rbussiness.
Which view or which functionality must maintain storage location in the material master data? Is it mandatory?
No it is not plant/storage loc 1 and 2 view
If I donu2019t maintain storage location, just plant. When I create purchase order, I donu2019t put storage location, but do goods receipt, I must input storage location, right? Can I put any storage location which belongs to that procurement plant, is it ok?
Yes you can put any belongs to the same plant but if in the config the create storage location automatiocally is configure than you can do that (transction OMB3)
Another question is about Is there any T-code or way to check which plant, which storage location maintaing in the specific material?
Yes, you can check MMSC OR in detail view
go to transction SE16 or SE16N and enter the table MARD
now enter you mateiral and you can view all the available plant and Sloc
you can write query also using this table

Oracle RAC 11gR2 on Windows - Disk Storage Newbie question

Hi all
I have been reading through the Grid install guide in an effort to understand how to set up a RAC solution. I am new to Oracle so a lot of these concepts I am trying to understand but from what I am reading a typical install would be to have my cluster software installed on a particular shared storage type of either OCFS or ASM. These storage types then sit on top of a redundant option such as RAID, or logical volumes across disks or a kind of mirroring (SAME).
I know what I have said is probably a rough attempt at understanding this but what I would like is if anyone has any diagrams that lay this out for me to aid my understanding that would be great.
I am kind of at a stage where I am thinking about creating a RAC installation on some VMWare and want to know how best to configure the initial disks, and whether to add them to a RAID or carve them into partitions.
Hope I have made sense.
Thanks

Berkeley DB Storage related questions

Hi, I am new to BDB.
We recently migrated our internal DB into BDB (we are using the C++ version). Here are some of the details:
Data is saved using hash table (key has a fixed size of 16 bytes, but data size varies - from 20 bytes to a few kbs)
We have an index on each record (the index has fixed size of 4 bytes). Index using btree.
We do about 200 read, 200 write (update or insert), 200 delete every second. Update will always change the index.
Over time, the number of records in the DB only increases slightly (total is about 2 million records).
In the last month or two we have observed the following storage change:
When the internal DB was converted into BDB, the data was about 8GB, index about 1GB. The actual data (key, data, index) we put into the BDB counts about 50% of the actual storage (the other 50% is BDB's overhead/other data structure, etc). Now, the data becomes about 9GB (slightly more than our data grows rate), but the index db size has grown to 9GB as well. Since the number of records are pretty much the same, the index DB has a lot of waste.
My questions:
Are there any parameters (eg fill factors) that could affect the storage usage? We just used the defaults.
Over time, how to defragment the DB without taking the DB off line?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi John,
So you are using the C++ API. What is the BDB release you are using (e.g. 5.1.19, 5.0.26 etc), on what OS, filesystem, and what is the underlying filesystem's I/O block size? (to get the block size, use something like "dumpe2fs /dev/hdN | grep 'Block size'" on Linux, "fsutil fsinfo ntfsinfo D:" on Windows -- look for "Bytes Per Cluster", "df -g /part_mount_point" on Solaris)
Note that Btree and Hash databases are grow-only, that is, space freed by deleting items from a Btree or Hash database is never returned to the filesystem, although it is reused where possible; see the Disk space requirements section in the Berkeley DB Reference Guide.
You can use compaction to reclaim disk space and shrink the databases' sizes; see the Db::compact() method. If you need clarification on the compact() method let me know; also, there are a lot of useful threads on the forum dealing with compaction, just do a search on "compact database".
Data is saved using hash table (key has a fixed size of 16 bytes, but data size varies - from 20 bytes to a few kbs)More precisely, to how many "few" Kbs?
the data becomes about 9GB (slightly more than our data grows rate), but the index db size has grown to 9GB as wellCould you check that the secondary key creator callback function is correct? It's a little bit surprising to see the secondary index database growing from 1GB to 9GB.
Are there any parameters (eg fill factors) that could affect the storage usage? We just used the defaults.Yes, the most important is the database page size which will influence the fill factor; see Selecting a page size.
As your data item size varies to a few Kbs your database probably has a lot of overflow pages (these pages store overflow items which are too large to be stored entirely onto a normal leaf page - an overflow item will be stored onto multiple overflow pages; retrieving such items is more expensive as the entire set of pages needs to be read into cache).
Also, for specific configuration for each of the two access methods see Btree access method specific configuration and Hash access method specific configuration.
Use the db_stat utility with the -d option and provide the database statistics for each of the databases (primary and secondary).
Over time, how to defragment the DB without taking the DB off line?Use compaction as initially mentioned; compaction is done online, that is, you do not have to close the database (take it offline).

Andrei

Storage / Backup Question

As this relates to how I work with my files whilst using FCE, I suspect this is probably the right board to post on....here's my question....
I'm starting to produce more and more videos for work - I capture with a small Sony HD camera, import the files to my external hard drive....and then start work on them....
This works fine for now...but as my first Terabyte starts to be used up, I'm also starting to consider issues such as backing up...
I started to read about RAID storage options.....RAID 1 appears to be the way to go in terms of storing my master files, and ensuring they are safe....my questions are....
- Does this sound like the best strategy?
- Will my Mac need a seperate RAID card installed to handle the extra processor/RAM work?
-Are there any particular setups / brands anybody could recommend?
Many thanks in advance
Jonathan

When I was recently organising new backup facilities for my sctatch disk I got advice from someone on Macfixit against using a RAID system for backups, either a hard or software RAID system, for the reasons that Martin mentioned - lack of sufficiently reliability. The reason for re-equipping was that the internal power supply circuitry of the (failed) external Scratch Disk caused the failure. If that happened in a RAID system (which I believe shares a common internal power circuitry) the whole RAID would fail. I got a rescue firm to read and copy the Capture Scratch on to another HD but many files did not survive.
I went for two 500 GB external LaCie Firewire 800 (actually triple inteface) drives and use one for my scratch disk and copy everything across to the other now and again. As a test, by resetting FCE's Scratch settings to the second drive, (to simulate a failure of the first) FCE worked normally.
Loosing the scrastch disk (as happened to me recently) creates lots of work in re-capturing. So I am relying on two backup systems for my Capture Scratch - the second HD and the Mini DV tapes, all of which I keep as they are quite cheap.

Storage Resource question

Hi,
I have a question, Can I use Storage Resources in Discrete Manufacturing? If so, is there a specific configuration for it?
This question is because I have Discrete Manufacturing in my plant and there is a process where I have to make a liquid base preparation which then I keep it in a tank so I can bottle it later in different sizes and flavours, and in different machines. Is there a way in Discrete Manufacturing to model this tank so I can link my liquid base preparation which is made with a PPM to the final product from another PPM?
Thank you in advance,
Fernando

Hi,
I have written an article about storage resources in discrete manufacturing in SNP Optimizer. Please take a look.

In PP/DS it is a different story.

Versions and excessive storage concerns

Doesn anyone know if Versions creats the same storage issues that iPhoto does? The iPhoto libraries are massive as they don't use pointers to the original files, they create their own libraray. Most programs that keep versions do a similar thing in that it save numerous verisons of the file you are working on so that you can go bak in time to pull an old one. This in turn would create a data hog on your HD. My big question is can you turn off Versions or is it live all the time. If it cannot be turned off I will NOT be upgrading to Lion. I await any responses that are "in the know"

I'm not sure I fully understand the question, but I believe that there is only one copy of each song on the iphone which can be accessed various ways (songs, albums, artist, shuffle, etc.).

E-Series storage connectivity questions.

Hey all, Long time NetApp FAS engineer here and this is the first time diving into the E-Series devices. Have some questions about the storage connectivity of these systems, mainly the 2700 series. As I understand it there are 3 options for storage connectivity, 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical, 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45, 2 or 4 port 12Gb SAS DAS. So my questions are: 1. With the 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45 -> Will thie negotiate down to 1Gb iSCSI connectivity?2. With 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical -> A customer received the "Cable,Direct Attach CU SFP+ 10G,2M". Do they have optical GBICs with fiber connections? Will this negotiate down to 1Gb speed or is that just for the RJ45 connections?3. Can the onboard 1Gb ports be used for storage connectivity? Thanks all.

Hi, 1. With the 2 port 10Gb iSCSI RJ45 -> Will thie negotiate down to 1Gb iSCSI connectivity? Yes 2. With 2 or 4 ports 16 Gb FC\10Gb iSCSI optical -> A customer received the "Cable,Direct Attach CU SFP+ 10G,2M". Do they have optical GBICs with fiber connections? Yes, combined FC/iSCSI SFP modulesWill this negotiate down to 1Gb speed or is that just for the RJ45 connections? Yes, will negotiate to 1Gb speed 3. Can the onboard 1Gb ports be used for storage connectivity? No, those are for storage system management only, not host IO

Storage related question for RAC

Hi Gurus,
I have a question here about the storage design. My company has 2 node Oracle RAC already setup on Linux with 11g for clusterware, ASM and 10g for database(for application support we are using still 10g for database). This RAC is dedicated for one database and shared by several applications.
Now, we decided to add two more nodes and additional storage to it.
The existing storage uses EMC SAN DMX 4574 (raw partitions) disks. And the additional storage disks provided by our storage team are EMC SAN DMX 3752.
Is it possible to combine these two different DISK (different series from same vendor) into one single storage sub system visible to entire RAC Database? All the 4 nodes will be used for the same database and application. Its a production system so we wanted to confirm and proceed further as we dont have a test scenario.
Shall we connect these different disks to the switches so that ASM can see all the disks at once and can be used for database?
Please advise.
Regards,
vasu

Hi Vasu,

All the 4 nodes will be used for the same database and application. Its a >production system so we wanted to confirm and proceed further as we dont have a test scenario.First of all, You have to ask the OS support team in order to see if there is any kind of problem mixing it. I don't think it would be a problem, but as you don't have any test environemnt, You'd better ask them.
For the ASM side, it's not a problem, You can work with this kind of configuration. In fact I have a couple of environemnt using this configuration. I'm using a expensive storage with a better performance to critical tablespaces, and a lower cost storage to put historical data and other kind of data that are not accessed every time.
Shall we connect these different disks to the switches so that ASM can see all the disks at once and can be used for database? Well,
As I told before, I don't think it would be a problem, but again... You should ask the OS support team. For the ASM side, You shouldn't mix disks with diferent behaviour in the same diskgroup, You should use disks with the same size and similar/equal performance characteristics. As ASM balances the I/O over the disks in a ASM diskgroup, it's important to configure in this way in order to avoid performance problems.
Hope it helps,
Cerreia

Mass Storage device question

I have an old blackberry 8320 and I am trying to retrieve the pictures memos, and contacts off the phones hard drive,
I have installed the black berry desktop manager and it is able to to detect the phone but every time I got into media manager I get and error message "A Problem occurred awhile trying to connect to your device". I assumed the easiest course of action would be to use the phone as a mass media storage device to no avail,with
"please insert disk"
I am unclear if these methods are only to transfer the files from the SD card in the phone. All the files are saved on the phones hard drive and I was unable to insert an SD card into the phone as I believe the SD slot may be damaged
Does MAss Media storage mode acess the phone's hard drive or the sd card in the phone and if it does how do i retive the pictures and memos and files off the phone.

Hi
Did you download the right drivers for the right notebook series???
The Satellite P100-10P belongs to the PSPAGE series.
I think you should check the Toshiba forum page again and be 100% sure that you have downloaded and installed all available drivers!!!
I think you should check if you have installed also the Texas Instruments Flash Media driver.
Last but not least the installation instruction was placed on the page.
Please follow the guide lines and install the drivers in the right installation order!

ICloud storage plan question

So, I didn't have enough space to download my iTunes library. I went into my iCloud storage plan and changed my plan to the $20/yr plan and received 10GB, making it now a 15GB.
However, I am still 5GBs short. So if I change my storage plan to the $40/yr plan with 25 GBs, will I be charged $40 on top of the $20 I just spent and receive 35 extra GBs, or will it solely charge me for the $40 one, because they're labeling these options as plans and I'm just upgrading and I would only be charged the difference? Thank you!

You will be charged $40 and get 25GB additional storage; the 10GB plan will be cancelled with a pro-rated refund.

Storage capacity question

I have a macbook air with 121 GB flash storage capacity. I currently use x amount of applications 11gb, movies 13gb, photos 16 gb,music 6 gb, etc. However, it also states that I use 60 gb of 'other'. What can other be? I have nowhere near such a huge amount of data on my computer.

"Other" is EVERYTHING else not otherwise specified by the preset label types. It includes the operating system, other data, and numerous other application support files.
You can use products like Omni DiskSweeper, Daisy Disk, and Grand Perspective to further breakdown and identify your file types and space they take. DiskSAweeper will aid you in group file removal too.

Storage amount question

Hi all,
I tried TM several times with an external FireWire drive (300 GB) - without much success. It worked at the beginning, but soon I got errors and had to start again from the scratch.
I ended up at the idea that 300 GB might be too little storage for an iMac's 250 GB drive. TM is obiviously not savvy enough to reduce its backups to what fits on an external drive; it tries to make all its backups until they are finished.
Now I'm thinking about buying a TC. But which? Will I have the same problems as before with the 500 GB model when I not only backup my iMac but also my MacBook (250 GB + 150 GB = 400 GB)? Thus, do I really need the 1000 GB model? Is there any information from Apple about how much TC can hold?
Thank you very much!
Peter

Each Time Machine (TM) backup will be stored as a separate spare bundle unique to the computer being backed up to the Time Capsule (TC). This sparse bundle is compressed but will grow with subsequent TM backups and will eventually consume the entire TC's hard drive. Near this point, the oldest backup data within the respective sparse bundle will be purged. A typical TM backup does not back up the entire contents of your computer's hard drive, even on the first backup. From the first backup, only incremental backups are made per TM's schedule.
Could you fill up a 500 GB or 1 TB TC? Sure, but you have some options. One is to connect an external USB hard drive to the USB port of the TC and create an archive of the existing TC's hard drive contents. This issue is not unique to the TC as it would equally apply to an external hard drive connected directly to your computer. TM will eventually fill up this type of device as well and will continue to purge the oldest data as the drive reaches this limit.
