Storage Space - Unable to view exported Mirrored REFS volume over ISCSI Target in Vmware, but works with Simple Volume. Is this expected

Followed  Steps:
1. Created a Storage Pool Combination of SSD and HHD.
2. Created Virtual Disk, with mirror and without tiered.
3. Created  a  volume using virtual disk.
4. Created New ISCSI Virtual disk and exported to VMware.
Result: 
1. Unable to view the Lun, If I create using the mirror.
2. Can able to view it, When I create simple volume. 

Hi Mara Ram,
Before going further, would you please let me know which version of Windows Server you use?
In my Lab environment, I followed steps as you described. However, I can view the Lun when create by using
storage layout: Mirror. Just one different point, I created the new iSCI virtual disk and exported to a Hyper-V (not VMware) virtual machine. Please check if it was the cause of this issue.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

  • Crystal Reports export and print fails with SSL / https but works with http

    Windows 2008 Server, 32-bit (IIS7)
    ASP.NET 2.0
    Ajax 1.0
    Crystal Reports version 10.5.3700.0
    http:  printing works, export works
    https:  printing not working, only export to MS Excel and MS Word work.
    I am able to generate reports using both http and https, and the toolbar icons are all showing.  However, I am unable to print or export properly with SSL.
    Printing prompts me with a select printer window, and then a window 'Retrieving Page 1' follow by two messages from Crystal Print Control both stating:
    A communication error occured.  Printing will be stopped.
    Exporting generates various errors depending on which export method is being selected (however Excel and Word work over https).
    I've found the same problem on this site and other forums, but never a resolution to get exporting and printing to work with SSL.  Will someone please provide me assistance or possibly relay what settings they're using if they have Crystal Reports export or printing working over SSL in IIS7?  Everything works fine when I change the address from https to http.
    Please let me know if I can help by providing further information.  We've gone through a great deal of possible solutions with code and I'm currently looking in to IIS settings again.
    Thank you.

    Thanks Ludek. I got it by searching KB number.
    Unfortunately, it didn’t fix my problem even my IE (IE8 and IE 9) has correct setting.  I double check my version. PrintControl.CAB is version 10.2.0.1146. we use VS 2005 Crystal report and VB .NET. It works fine on HTTP. But when we use HTTPS (SSL Certificate from go daddy).
    1: Crystal report export
                Export to MS Excel, Word: pop us “File download”, then click “Save”. It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
                Export to RPt, Rich text format: It says “Internet Explorer cannot download ReportView.aspx from my site. Internet Explorer was not able to open this internet site. the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try it again later”
                Export to PDF : nothing happened.
    2: Print:
                Pop up dialog to select printer, click “Print” “. Shows windows “Crystal Report Viewer” and pop us error message box. Title is “Crystal Print Control”. Message is “An communication error occurred. Printing will be stopped”. Click “OK” and pop up error message box again.
    Please advise.
    Thank you very much!

  • Links in pdf doc are not working when viewed in Reader 9, but works with Reader 8

    Hello,
    When I view a pdf document using Reader 8, the links in the document work. However, when another user views the pdf document using Reader 9, the links do not work for them. Any suggestions?

    Are they hyper links or are they spelled out (http://...etc)?
    If they are spelled out, it could be because the person using 9 needs to select "create links from URL" in Preferences>General>Basic Tools.

  • Unable to view/export hipstamatic images from iphoto

    I am unable to export any of my hipstamatic images that have been imported into iphoto. I am using my iphoto library off of my external hard drive and can export any photo onto my desktop, Face book, etc... except for my hipstamatic images. Help!! thank you!

    No idea.
    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Somethings to try:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I cannot download software or export secure Certificate from Firefox, but can with Internet Explorer. This is crucial for meeting a deadline with an international patent Filing Today. Pls help - 555-555-5555. Sheldon

    I tried to download an e-filing client software from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) website [http://www.wipo.int/pct-safe/en/download/download_client.htm] using Firefox. Clicking the link to download yielded no activity. I eventually tried the same link in internet explorer and it worked. This occurred last week. I have a deadline to complete an international patent filing today; and in order to do so online, I had to request a Secure Digital ID from WIPO. It was approved and received early this morning (Central European Time Zone); and the accompanying guidelines suggested that I use the same computer and browser to retrieve the ID. This meant that since I use Firefox as my default browser my request was also made and had to be retrieved in Firefox. Following the WIPO support instructions I ran into exactly the same problem of inactivity when trying to "Backup" my newly installed ID certificate per WIPO instruction, so that it may be imported into the e-filing software. Please help as soon as you can as my patent deadline is merely hours away. Please also see a response from the WIPO helpdesk below:
    Dear User,
    we hereby provide the following solution / answer to your request:
    Subject: Certificates (use of and different types)/26708 Answer from PCT-SAFE Help Desk:
    Unfortunately, apart from revoking your new certificate and then re-enrolling using Internet Explorer, I do not see many options.
    We cannot do support for external software, like Firefox, but I had a quick glance at Mozilla's support side and it seems that you might be able to resolve your problem by starting Firefox in safe mode, and/or disabling all your Firefox extensions. I have to stress the fact that this is not a procedure tested and approved by the PCT-SAFE team.
    As this is an extremely time-sensitive issue please also contact me by phone so that we can work through the solution in real-time. I can be reached at 555-555-555 - Sheldon
    '''Moderator edit: Removed personal information. This is a public forum. Please do not post any personal information as it may put your safety at risk -FF4L'''
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Attempting to download from a secure server

    Just to follow up on my findings. My last issue regarding the digital certificate was not at the time of initial download into Firefox, but my application required that I backup the certificate into a folder which can then be accessed to sign a submission generated by a third-party Client software.
    After finally steering away from the digital signing route by opting for a non digital filing of my project, I later revisited the Firefox certificates list only to find that the 'Backup' button still didn't work or respond in any way whatsoever; however since I only had a single certificate on my list... I threw my hand up in the air and tried the 'Backup All' button... guess what - that worked!! My browser then navigated to a file browser which allowed me to save the certificate to a folder of my choice. Of course this was after the fact as my deadline had already passed and and I had the Administrator who initially granted my secure ID revoke it once I was blocked from downloading it by Firefox.
    Just an update/FYI for y'all... But I'm not sure if this type of anomoly is due to a glitch on my computer or a glitch on the browser - but it certainly did catch me off-guard during a deadline.

  • Why would the Java Plugin not work in Firefox 5 on Mac SnowLeopard? I have the most recent version but am unable to use any Java features on Firefox 5. Firefox 3.6 works with the same Java but 5 will not.

    Most recent version of Java and firefox. Java Applications will start to load but end up in an infinite loading loop.

    Well, it's what I did to get my Java working in Firefox 4. I installed both binaries into my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder. The version was newer that what was previously installed (newer version is 0.9.7.5). It solved the Java problems I was having. My inital problem was that Java would not initiate and no applets would run in Firefox version 4 which I just installed a few days ago.
    I know the readme.txt. says it is not compatible with version 4, but the release date on 0.9.7.5 is after the release date of Firefox 4 and so that was I tried it. I figure there was nothing to lose as at worst it woud update my two plug-in files. Nothing was going to be changed otherwise. If you try it, it might work.

  • Issues with exporting movie - insufficient storage space

    Hello,
    Last night I tried to export a 50 minute movie that I created - I checked my hard disk space and I had 4.3Gb available at the time. I didnt think I would have enough space to export in 720p resolution but tried anyway. Imovie started to create the movie but stopped ~60% through stating that it had insufficient storage space to complete the export. But now, instead of having 4.3Gb available I only have 335 Mb available as I believe Imovie did not delete the unfinished file when it cancelled the export (its storage usage went from 500 mb to 4.3gb after the failed export). The issue is, I now have to way of accessing the unfinished file to delete it and do not have enough storage space to export at a lower resolution! Has anyone else run into this issue?
    Is there anyway to access the files embedded in iMovie?
    If not if I delete iMovie do my saved projects remain?
    Otherwise is there anyway to export my movie onto my computer directly?
    I unfortunately did not back up the iPad prior to the export so I cant restore it from a previous point.
    Really appreciate your help!

    Sadly you are rather stuck at this point.
    This appears to be an error in movie that does not clear the space if it is unable to finish creating a movie.
    Your 50 minute video would be about 4 gb by my estimates.
    imovie would first create this video within the app (apps are sandboxes and must create files within their own memory area).
    Once the video is made, iMovie can copy this video to the camera roll.
    The way iOS works is to avoid mixing data, thus it is a copy process.
    Which means you would have to have 8 gb of space to create your video.
    I am going to guess that iMovie correctly made the video, but now has no where to copy it.
    And rather annoyingly it holds on to the video for now.
    You need another 4 gb space to compete the export.
    As you have not enough space left on the iPad you are in a bind and there are only a couple of options left for you.
    Firstly, if you delete iMovie iOS you will lose your projects.
    I do not advise deleting iMovie.
    You cannot export the project, and iMovie iOS projects contain the source video.
    So you would need about 4gb of space to export the project.
    Also do not delete the source videos, iMovie just links to the camera roll.
    So if you delete the video from the photos app then iMovie will lose the video too.
    There is no way that is Apple sanctioned to clear the space in iMovie.
    Apple has strict rules on what we can discuss in these forums, so I cannot help or advise how to clear iMovie of the half made video.
    My best advise would be to delete another app, or files from your iPad.
    I hope you have at some point backed up your iPad to your Mac, of iCloud?
    If not then do so now.
    Then I would suggest you delete large apps to clear space.
    These can be restored later.
    Look for games or apps that save their user data online.
    I have a few Gameloft games, and they store my game data on their servers.
    This way you can restore where you were later again.
    Or you could connect to iTunes, and delete all the music off the iPad.
    THen finish exporting the video, and restore the music later.
    Have a look here to see how to use iOS to check what other apps are using space:
    http://ipadinsight.com/ipad-tips-tricks/how-to-see-how-much-space-is-being-used- by-each-of-your-apps-in-ios-5/
    Good luck, and I hope it works out for you..

  • Storage Spaces UI missing disks when a controller reports the same UniqueID for all attached disks (e.g. Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8)

    Summary: The Storage Spaces UI has several problems when there are more than 21 physical disks available to Storage Spaces.
    I have 28 SATA disks connected over 6 controllers. 2 are used for an Intel motherboard RAID1 for OS (PhysicalDisk0), so that leaves 26 data disks for Storage Spaces. [The plan is to get to 36 data disks in due course by adding disks (this 36-bay chassis: http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847A-R1400LP.cfm)]
    Initially, there were 23 data disks (5x 1TB, 1x 640GB, 14x 500GB, 3x 250GB) as PhysicalDisk1-23 (in that order), which I put into a storage pool. I created a parity disk over all 23 disks. It looks like it is working fine, albeit very slowly on writes.
    I've now added 3 more 4TB disks, as PhysicalDisk24-26, and taken them offline, and have now noticed errors in the Storage Pools UI in the Server Manager. For example:
    * No more than 21 disks ever show up in the "Physical Disks" area in the lower right. When the 23 disks are connected, only the first 21 show up in the pool I created. With 26 disks connected, only the first 20 show up in the pool, and only 1 more of the
    new 3 (PhysicalDisk26) shows up in the Primordial group.
    * In the Properties of the parity Virtual Disk created over the 23 disks, the disks are shown incorrectly. Again, only 21 disks are shown, and PhysicalDisk26 is incorrectly shown as part of the virtual disk. See image:
    * Using the New Storage Pool Wizard, I cannot add more than 1 of the new 3 disks to a new Storage Pool (only PhysicalDisk26 is available). And the details incorrectly refer to PhysicalDisk21. See image (a WDC WD2500JD-22H is a 250GB disk, not a 4TB disk).
    Thus I cannot use the new disks in a new storage pool.
    According the blog post at http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01/05/virtualizing-storage-for-scale-resiliency-and-efficiency.aspx:
    Q) What is the minimum number of disks I can use to create a pool? What is the maximum?
    You can create a pool with only one disk. However, such a pool cannot contain any resilient spaces (i.e. mirrored or parity spaces). It can only contain a simple space which does not provide resiliency to failures. We do test pools comprising multiple hundreds
    of disks – such as you might see in a datacenter. There is no architectural limit to the number of disks comprising a pool.
    However, the UI currently does not seem to correctly work with more than 21 physical disks. Please advise.
    Using Server 2012 RC.
    Hardware: Supermicro X8SAX (BIOS v2.0), Intel i7-920 2.67GHz, 6x 2GB DDR3-1333 (certified Crucial CT25664BA1339.16SFD)
    Disk controllers: 2x RAIDCore BC4852 (PCI-X, final 3.3.1 driver) (15 ports used), 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 (PCIe, 4.0.0.1200 Marvell driver to allow >2TB disks) (6 ports used), Sil 3114 (PCI, latest 1.5.20.3 driver) (1 port used), motherboard Intel
    in RAID mode (4 ports used for data, plus 2 for OS RAID1).

    An update. I added 16x SATA disks across 2x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8. All 16 disks report the same UniqueID.
    I have 25 disks in the pool now (23 as parity; 2 as journal added via PowerShell). 10 of these are on the two AOC-SASLP-MV8 controllers. Only the first 16 disks show up in the UI, so 9 are missing from the UI - which is consistent with this UI bug where
    only one disk per UniqueID shows up. PowerShell does work to manage the SS.

  • IPhoto 11 Out of storage space

    I am trying to import photos worth 1GB. WHen I try to import them, after about 70% progress, iphoto pops me the error message that it is out of storage space and cannot continue even though I have over 40GB free space in my internal hard drive. Any suggestions or remedies?

    Sounds like a damaged library. Backup the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in the User/Library/Application Support/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1 and #6.

  • Tiered Storage Spaces with LSI RAID Controller 9260-8i (no JBOD) - Performance Drop

    Hello
    I have a Lab-Server with a LSI-Raid-Controller 9260-8i and 2x 256GB SSDs / 6x 600GB HDDs. First I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with a RAID 1 (2x 600GB HDD) and installed
    Windows Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V Role on this RAID 1. This works just fine. Then I configured the LSI-Raid-Controller with additional 6x "Raid 0 Drive Groups" where each Drive Group has one single physical drive
    in it. And then I created 6 virtual drives out of these 6 Drive Groups. So far so good: my Windows Server 2012 R2 now sees 6 new Harddrives (4x 600GB HDD and 2x 256GB SSD). I then created a Storage Pool out of these 6 drives (with PowerShell /
    assign MediaType SSD/HDD) and on top of the Storage Pool a "Tiered Storage Space" with Mirror Layout (2x 256GB SSDs mirrored and 2x2x 600GBs  HDD mirrored). This gives me a Tiered Storage Space of about 1.3TB. On this Storage
    Space I created a Virtual Drive of 1.3TB capacity. Success!! It seems to work fine.... Even I do not have a Storage-Controller supporting JBOD directly, I was able to create a Tiered Storage Space!!
    Now where's the problem? Fine-Tuning the LSI-Raid-Controller Settings and the resulting
    Disk Performance....
    1) LSI-Raid-Controller: Virtual Drive Properties: What should I choose? Read Policy (Ahead or no) / Write Policy (Write Back with BBU or Write Through) / IO Policy (Direct IO or cached IO) / Disk Cache Policy (enable or disabled or unchanged)
    / Stripe Size (256 KB or ??). Do these settings conflict with the Windows Server Storage Space Layout?
    2) Windows Server Disk Management (under "Disk XY"):  Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device) 
    3) Windows Server Device Manager (under "Drives" - Microsoft Storage Space Device):  Write Cache Policy? (activate Write Cache on this Device)
    4) Performance - Results with Crystal Disk Mark: the inital Results after setting up the Storage were quite good (Seq R: 550 MB/s and W: 590 MB/s //  512K R: 490MB/s and W: 618 MB/s // 4K R: 18MB/s and W: 37 MB/s  //  4KQD32
    R:270 MB/s and W:37 MB/S) But 2 months later the values dropped to: Seq R: 290 MB/s and W: 170 MB/s //  512K R: 120MB/s and W: 239 MB/s // 4K R: 1.5MB/s and W: 31 MB/s  //  4KQD32 R: 9 MB/s and W: 71 MB/S). Huge loss of performance
    - SSD full? 
    5) Since this is a Hyper-V Server I put some VMs on it. The Performance within the VMs has also dropped accordingly. Are there any
    best practices when placing VHDX-Files on  a Tired Storage Space? I could of course assign one or two VHDX-Files directly to the SSD Tier, but actually I don't want that because that would use too much SSD-Space.
    Any Experts on this Subject?

    Hi Mark,
    For the settings of the Raid Controller, it is better to confirm with manufacturer for detailed information. As you said these settings will affect with storage space settings.
    From the description you set the 6 disks as 6 RAID0 groups. Is it supported to leave these disks as JBOD and directly add them into a storage space? If Raid settings will affect storage space performance, this could help us avoiding the RAID settings. 
    As data is already written onto the virtual disk, we may not available to recreate it. You could have a try with following PowerShell cmdlet to see if it will work better after optimize. 
    Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter X -TierOptimize

  • Storage Spaces - Replacing a disk...how?

    I have created a 3 disk pool, and I want to swap out one of the disks for a larger one, but see no obvious way to do this... other than of course moving ALL of the data to a non pooled disk, and removing and recreating the pool.. but this seems almost ridiculous.
    So what is the solution??  My pc is limited to 4 disks, so when I outgrow, I need to replace a disk with a larger one...  Why cant I simply move the data stored on a particular disk, replace it, then move it back?  Voila!
    This was perhaps one of the main features I was looking forward to, and now it seems fundamentally flawed!
    Interesting read.. but ultimately, very disappointing...

    Even if this is by design, it can certainly be improved.
    A typical SOHO use case is a drive enclosure with four drive slots.
    The desirable workflow for extending capacity when exhausted would be
    Temporarily add an external USB drive to the pool 
    Retire the smallest drive (which would move data to other drives)
    Remove the smallest drive
    Add a large drive
    Retire the temporary external drive.
    It's possible to do this with a Mirror space (but a bit tricky to figure out how). For Simple it's not possible, not sure about Parity.
    I know you guys are tired of hearing of Drive Extender, but this is the silver bullet SOHO use case for DE. It's no big deal for SMB where you presumably can easily extend the number of drive slots in your server room.

  • Unable to view the map in Topology

    Hi Team,
    Problem: In the NNMi console i am unable to view the map of container.
    out of 10  container 9 are working, but 1 is having problem.
    The error i am getting is " Could not compute the map view response due to exception"
    Regards,

    You probably have restricted access to the file. Check if the drive is ntfs. If the os user is in administrator group, you can give permissions in file properties.

  • Unable to view new tasks in the UWL

    Hi all,
    I am using EP 7.0 SP8 and backend R/3 4.6C. I  configured by Worklist and work items to my UWL with the backend .My Problem is I am unable to view the New OR  in Progress Tasks in the UWL but  i am able to view the completed tasks in the UWL.
    Is the Problem with the backend R/3 version or some thing else?
    Please help me..
    Thanks and Regards,
    Sateesh.

    Hi,
    Check whether the release rule you are running has the option Auto Allocate (Inventory Tab) is YES.
    If it has NO then you have to run the Move Order Pick slip program with auto allocate move orders as YES and order types as pick wave for material allocation to happen.
    once material is allocated you should be able to view them in WCB atleast.
    After you find them in WCB but not on telnet then check you resource and device setup.
