Storage spaces + Hyper-V with multiple 1GBe nics for storage?

Hi guys!
So I just got my private cloud hardware. I actually put in the order before summer, but due to firmware and certification issues on my desired SuperMicro JBODs delivery was seriously delayed. So much that I've completely forgotten my networking ideas. I
need help/verification. Or at least a URL - most described setups are 10 GBe nowadays... Or even a "not gonna work" :-)
My setup is supposed to be a 3 JBOD, 2 head node storage spaces/sfos cluster providing storage to a 4 node Hyper-V cluster. I didn't have a budget for a 10 GBe setup, but got a great price on a lot of 1 GBe nics. After allocating management, Hyper-V, etc
I have 3x 1 GBe ports left on all Hyper-V and Storage servers.
I think my original plan was to create three subnets and add one nic from each server. And then I guess I've imagined some kind of SMB3 magic discovering these paths between Hyper-V and storage and just aggregating bandwitdh and providing fault tolerance
by sprinkling fairy dust. Must have been the heat...
So now I'm "replanning" and I realize that I'm going to create a failover cluster at the storage level providing a cluster name and IP. I'm thinking the management subnet where domain info resides is appropriate, but then what about the other three
subnets? I don't want to flood my management subnet with storage traffic, but do want bandwidth and resilience. Did I make a design error, and how do I make the best of the situation?
Disclaimer: My previous experience on virtualization clusters is ISCSI SAN and 2008 R2 Hyper-V clusters. Storage Spaces is completely new to me :-)
And due to overlapping technologies I struggled a bit on placing this thread. Hope I got it right

Hello,
i did not understand how many NICs you have in each Host. Hyper-V Cluster with 1 GBe NICs work as long as you know that it is not 10 GBe.
In this article is the complete Hyper-V Cluster design in checklist form. I think you should work with this list for some further ideas:

Sorry that i cant give a better answer, but i lack information about about your environment.

HT1766 Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?

Why am I constantly getting the message that I don't have enough storage space? I have upgraded to the 50GB storage plan and I am still getting the message. Help?

That message refers to storage on your iPhone, not cloud storage. You will need to move content off your phone to make more space.

When I look at my Ipod on Itunes on my laptop it is showing that I have a large amount of storage space taken up with Apps. (more than my music). In fact I only have the Apps which came with the ipod touch! How do I get my storage back?

I have an ipod touch 64GB. I have 3,146 songs, 3 videos, 106 photos and 1 app. The capacity of my ipod is 58 GB (I guess the remainder is the OS), It says I have 7.6GB remaining. When I look at my ipod on Itunes on my laptop the bar at the bottom shows a huge amount of storage space is taken up by Apps. I don't have any apps apart from the ones which came with the ipod touch which I cannot erase and wouldnt really want to. I am baffled why it says so much storage has been taken up by Apps! Please help me!!!

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Repair-VirtualDisk on Storage Spaces simple volume with retired disk?

Hello,
Does anyone know if it's possible to retire a disk from a Storage Space simple volume, and use the Repair-VirtualDisk commandlet to migrate any data off the retired volume? It sounds like this is how it would work for a parity volume, but it's unclear if
Windows will try to move data off a retired disk of a simple volume. Or is repair actually performing parity recovery?
i.e. I want to replace disks in a simple volume with larger disks, and remove the old disks, is creating a new volume and migrating data the only way?
Thank you!

Hi,
Simple spaces are not resilient to disk failures, so we cannot add a new physical disk to replace the failed physical disk.
If you have backed up the files in that virtual disk, you could delete the disk then remove physical disks from the pool.
For more detailed information, please see:

Help with Multiple libraries and one storage location for files

I cannot get an answer to this question anywhere and was really hoping that The [H] would be able to help.
Here is my current set up that allows my wife and I to have completely independent libraries and ratings, but use the same files:
-Shared folder with MP3s on a network drive.
-Two PCs, each with it's own Ipod associated to it with individual libraries but all pointing to the same network share for MP3 Files.
-Each PC is using the SAME Itunes account for downloads.
-Each account has it's own library folder also on a network share.
Now to my question(s)/problem with downloaded content:
(1) Is there any way to have a file that is downloaded from Itunes be automatically placed in a shared location accessible to both Libraries? (Say if I download the latest Jack Johnson album, can it automatically show up in my wife's library and vice versa?)
(2) Is there any way to share the album artwork versus having two copies of everything(one for each library)?
So my goal is to have two libraries with a central location for ALL files, including anything downloaded from Itunes by each individual user. Is this possible?

Have your wife transfer all purchases from the iPad into iTunes, backup her iPad and then sync with iTunes. Everything ... All media and other content will be available in that iTunes library and she will have a current backup.
Assuming that your son will still be sharing your wife's Apple ID (he is too young to have one of his own) .... When you set up his iPad, restore the iPad from your wife's backup and then select only the content that you want your son to have on his iPad in the iTunes library and then sync that iPad with iTunes.
The game progress is stored in the backup and should transfer onto his device when you restore from your wife's backup. You can always delete any content (apps, movies, music) that you don't want your son to have on the iPad, if you missed it when you synced with iTunes after setting the device up for him.
You can set your sync preferences - any way that you want to - for both devices and still use the same iTunes library for both iPads. So ... Yes you can sync any apps that you want to his iPad and any apps that your wife wants to her iPad. You just need to restore your son's iPad from your wife's backup in order to get his game progress onto his iPad.
In case you need these....
Transfer purchases.

Remember to have your wife backup her iPad just before you restore his iPad from the backup so that his most recent progress will be available in the backup.

Export MXF with multiple audio channels for broadcast

Hi,
I work at a broadcast company as an editor. We always used FCP with the free sony xdcam plugin to export. This plugin seems to be one of the rare ways to export an MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.
Since our workload has grown enormously the last few months and it will only become more we are optimizing our workflow. We also work with a lot of different endboards in After Effects and we made a nice template to work with. And since AE and Premiere can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.
Now comes the question!: The only obstacle we could not find an answer to is exporting it with 4 audio channels as an MXF from Premiere CS5. Will there be some development on this level regarding CS6?
A solution to this should save us a lot of time!
Any help will be highly appreciated!
I also attached an example for the usual MXF files we export

I have the same problem. I have a project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
Method:
When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. None of the channels are muted.
Result:
The rendered file contains 8 channels, but only the first two channels contains any audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
I don't understand your answer to wleoni75's question. Could you please help me further?

Storage space - How to save adjustments and economize on storage need

I am workeing in PSE 8. I would like to know how I best save processed images while economizing on personal storage space requirements. I.E. If I save a version of a 15 GB image does this take 30 GB's of storage for the original plus version? If I save an image as a newly named image what is the impact. I wish to retain a copy of my original RAW file while having access to one or several processed versions. If I save numerous versions of an image do all impose a full (original) atorage space requirement or only a small file that represents a version recipie that relates to the original RAW file? What is the most economical strategy?

To start with, most users want to keep there original files (raw or jpeg). The most economical way of storing version sets applies when you can do all your edits in ACR. Your edits are saved in a tiny .xmp sidecar files, negligible in size. Just clicking 'Done' saves your edits. Clicking 'open' lets you open the file in the editor, from which you can print or save the file in various formats such as jpeg, pdd or tiff. If you only print you don't even need to save anything. If you don't add any edits in the editor, you don't need to save the result : ACR will keep all the previous settings.
Now, if you have to do ulterior edits in the editor, most of the times a jpeg with high quality will be what you want for a quality printing, say 1 to 2 megabytes.
That's not a real problem for size.
If you use a lot of layers and want to keep a record of sophisticated edits, you'll choose psd or tiff formats, which will produce big files. In many cases, you'll choose this procedure until you are satisfied the edits are definitive, and delete those files and only keep jpegs or a flattened psd or tiff.

IOS 8 - iCloud Keychain with Multiple Login Accounts for a Site

I use iCloud Keychain to store multiple login accounts for a single website.
When using Safari on a Mac, the last login account I used for that site is prepopulated in yellow fields. If I want to change the login account, I clear the field with the login ID and I see a dropdown of all of the login accounts available for that site.
When using Safari on iOS 7, the last login account I used is prepopulated (just like with the Mac), but if I want to use a different login account, I need to enter enough characters in the login ID field for Safari to know which login account I want to use and then it autofills using that account.
Now, with iOS 8, all I get is the last login account I used. I can't figure out how to autofill any of my other login accounts for that site.
I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Mike

Why do I get "Storage almost full" warnings with multiple Gb free?

I have a 32Gb iPad Mini (running latest OS updates and all current apps), and keep getting "Storage Almost Full" warnings, even when I have 3, 4 or 5Gb free space (according to desktop sync)?

About all I use it for when I get these errors is reading a book. No apps are running other than iBooks. I happens before and after a power-off.
I'm going to see if I can hunt down a good memory reporting app to see if I can find out what's going on...

Agent Binding to NIC with multiple Bonded NICs and VLANS

Hi
I am having an issue with agent communication where the agent installs on a server, but is then unable to communicate correctly with the primary servers. This error is typically reported through the Zenworks agent status in ZCC "Unable to connect to the agent service through the IP Address or DNS."
It seems that when the agent installs it selects what it deems to be the primary NIC and then binds to this address. I have a large number of servers within my deployment domain and whilst in some instances it will be relatively straight forwadr to change the binding order in other instances this can be quite complex and will greatly increase the complexity and timeframe for our deployment project. Can anyone help with my questions below.
1 Can anyone confirm that this is indeed the default behaviour ?
2 Is there any way to specify the specific interface for the agent to bind to ?
3 Does anyone have any practical examples of workarounds for this issue ?
Many Thanks
Gareth

Find the Server in the ZCC, Select the Settings Tab and Modify the
"Restricted IP Addresses" to tell devices to not use a specific address.

Hyper-V with Multiple Windows 7 Workstations versus RDS

I have a Windows 2008 r2 standard server and need to setup RDS that runs office 2013 and a 3rd party EMR software for around 10 users. I checked and the only version of office 2013 that works on a server is Pro plus which is supposedly around $500 per
user.
So I started wondering if Hyper-V would be a better solution. Essentially I would add a new virtual Windows 7 workstation for each remote user they need and log in to each to configure a traditional W7 remote desktop setup. All of which would be going across
a 3 site vpn tunnel. So this would give the user a W7 environment versus a server OS but I have a few questions:
Would the Hyper-V setup in this way be more resource intensive on the server and the lan/wan?
It seems that their would be a significant amount of additional configuration time to get the Hyper-V working because I would have to login to each one and join it to the domain, create AD users, install the EMR software, configure remote desktop, open firewall
ports, set static ip's, etc...
Cost wise, it seems like for the Hyper-V I would simply need a windows license and a standard office 2013 home and business license for each virtual Windows 7.
Please give me thoughts and suggestions regarding this setup. Any help is appreciated.

"Would the Hyper-V setup in this way be more resource intensive on the server"
Remember that each virtual machine includes a full installation of the operating system. Therefore, you have to buy a license to cover each VM, you are loading the operating system and the application into the memory of the virtualization host, and
you are storing the full installation for each VM. (There are ways to ameliorate this, but to easily do that also requires additional software and services). That and the additional management overhead you describe, though there should be no reason
to require static IP addresses. And don't forget that you are patching a lot more software, too.
This discussion has been going on ever since the advent of operating system virtualization. It has been proven over and over again that fewer resources are required for a RDS deployment of applications, but different organizations have different business
needs so a virtual desktop versus a virtual application makes sense. There is no simple answer.

I need a calendar with multiple alert times for events; Advice please?

1. I need to be able to set multiple alert times (e.g. 24 hours before, and 2 hours before)
2. I need a good clear Month view, with text that can be enlarged (I am disabled)
3. It needs to sync with standard iCloud calendar data (I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad - great!)
4. I do not want BusyCal, thanks (the developer point-blank refuses to fix the Alarm window to remember it's width, and refuses point-blank to wrap the alarm title text onto two line when it is long - although they do wrap text in the calendar itself, just not in the alarm window, go figure)

Hey I have same problem. No PCMCIA No PCIe No USB converter are usefull
I recommend you to use IBM Thinkpad Laptop with DockStation (adv Mini Dock 2504-10U)

URGENT: Delivery with multiple line items for a STO

Hi Gurus,
We ar ecreating deliveries using VL10b for a STO. Teh TSO has 40 - 50 line items. But the delivery is created with one line item only an dit creates a delivery for each line item. How cna we allow the inclusion of multiple line items in delivery?
We are using delivery type NL an ditem categor is NLN.
Geratly appreciate any help in that.
Thanks,
KHAN

The problem you face is called 'Delivery split'.
For the STO scenario, one common cause is different delivery dates (in the past) in the STO line items. If so, then you should refer to SAP Note 377501 (from where I quote below):
You can implement the source code specified in the correction instructions in copy routine 301 (or a copy of this routine in the customer namespace). This correction ensures that when you transfer data form the preceding document, backlogged delivery dates or goods issue dates are set to the current date. This prevents the system form performing a delivery split.
Then a rescheduling of the delivery occurs. Since forward scheduling occurs for backlogged delivery items (that is, the picking date or the transportation planning date is set to the current date), the manipulation of the delivery date or goods issue date in the copy routine does not affect the result of the scheduling.
If the dates are not the problem, then this Note refers to other Notes which deal with this problem, and should definitely solve your problem.

Production order from sales order with multiple line item(for one material)

Dear Gurus,
I am working in MTO scenarios. If there is several line item in a sales order for one material, multiple production order( same as no. of sales order line item) is getting created against each of the line item.My requirement is,since the material code is same in each line item and sales order is one, one production order should be generated for all line item. please tell me how to do it.
(Here for one material, multiple line item is required for some specific reason)
Regards
Rajib Pathak

Hi,
This is not possible.
In Std SAP will create one production order for one sales order. The stock is also allocated to thet particular sales order only. Because each and every sales order may vary in any one of the parameters. Considering this, SAP has designed like this.
