Storage Spaces: SSD tier size incorrect when using EnclosureAware option in a pool

Hi folks,
We're about to deploy Storage Spaces in our test environment, but we encountered an issue while configuring Enclosure Awareness on Storage Pools.
When we create a Storage Pool (over 3 JBOD's) and set the option EnclosureAwarenessDefault to $True, the SSD tier size automatically decreases / shrinks to 12GB (sometimes 18GB sometimes 0GB).
Without EnclosureAwarenessDefault, we get 1110 GB of SSD size available.
The same behavior is seen when enabling -EnclosureAwareness on Storage Space (virtual disk) level.
A summary of our configuration:
3 SOFS connected twice to each JBOD (LSI 9207-8e - SES 3 ) = HCL certified
3 JBOD arrays (Quanta M4600H) (Firmware Management SCSI Enclosure Service (SES-2) = HCL certified
Each JBOD array has 16 HDD and 4 SSD.
SOFS are fully patched, including KB 2913766
Below 2 screenshots:
EnclosureAwareDefault = $True

Hi Partner,
Thank you for your detailed information and sorry for the delayed response.
After consulting with some senior engineers, please check the following:
Server manager does not let you set the column count of the space, which means that it is automatically selecting 6 as the column count, as there are 12 SSDs.  Unfortunately, the column count must be less than the number of disks of each type in each
enclosure (limited by 4 SSDs), otherwise space creation will fail, and estimation will produce a small, somewhat random number.  If you create a space through powershell and specify –NumberOfColumns 4 then it should work.
Hopefully it helps.
Feel free to let me know if you have any question. Thank your for your time.
Best Regards,
Sophia Sun

    Hi Yoshihiro,
    There is no build-in system function which support to setup memory as disk cache. I know some third party software support this so you could have a search with related keywords (memory, hard disk cache).

    Flash crashing when using Command + Option + S for Scale and Rotate?
    It's happening to me when I use those hotkeys
    Please let me know if it's happening to you too.
    I don't know the cause but I need a fix.
    I'm using Adobe FLASH cs6 for Mac
    My computer:
    Mac mini
    Mid 2011
    Software  OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)

    With all due respect to your totally coindescending reply, this is a bug in Flash. Happens every 4-5 times I use that menu item. Been happening for months, but  we just installed a Brand new iMac (1/13). Quadcore 3.4 16G RAM and 1TB Fusion drive. Fresh install of CS6. Not running any other 3rd Party Software. Problem STILL happens in new Flash docs with small, simple vector Graphics.
    So instead of blaming the users computers, how about you guys just fix the effin' problem? Thanks.

  • Can I assign several physical storage locations for each virtual machine when using the replication-feature from Hyper-V 2012 R2?

    Hi everyone,
    I have 2x physical servers running Hyper-V 2012 R2. Each hosts several virtual machines. The VHDs of the VMs are stored on several dedicated physical disks to have a performance boost. For exampe if VM A has two VHDs attached I made sure that the VHDs are
    on different physical disks to have them not slow-down each other in case of intensive disk accesses.
    So far so good. I was looking forward to the replication-feature. The idea is to have the two physical servers have their primary running VMs being replicated to the other physical server and vice-versa. I was hoping to have the chance to choose for each
    individual VM where the replicated VHD will be stored. But instead I can only see the one location/path which is configured in Hyper-V Manager when I activate the replication-feature on the server.
    Is there by any chance a way how to select the storage location for each VHD/VM if using the replication-feature of Hyper-V 2012 R2?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

    Secondly, you could replicate different VMs to different storage locations to perform some of the disk balancing you are trying to perform.  Lastly, you could copy the vhd file to a different location
    before starting the VM.

    Hi Tim,
    thanks for the reply. Sorry, but I had some other tasks to take care of, so I wasn't paying enough attention to this thread.
    The part I quoted from your reply sounds exactly like the action I'd like to perform, but as you pointed out before this should not be possible.
    How can I perform the action (replicating each VM to a storage location) as you mentioned secondly? To sum it up again:
    2x physical machines carrying severel HDDs
    8+ VMs spread to run on the 2x servers
    when setting up replication I can only set the storage-location from server A on B and vice versa B on A
    Thanks again for your reply.
    Cheers,
    Sebastian

  • GenPrint spitting out Thumbnail size PDFs when using AddMultiPageBitmap

    Hello,
    I have an odd situation occurring that has me a little stumped, wondering if anybody has any insight. We setup a project to run in one of our test environments. The project uses the AddMultiPageBitmap rule to pull in one or more PDF's from the Linux server it's running on for some transactions. What's odd is that when the GenPrint shell script is executed by the scheduler (we use Zena), Genprint runs fine, and our resulting Metacode output contains the expected PDF's, but they're very small (we've been calling it 'thumbnail' size).  When I run the GenPrint shell script using a super-user ID (the one that was used to install Documaker on the server, as well as defined the majority of the folder structure on the server that our project uses), then the PDF's are normal/full size. It doesn't matter 'who' ran GenData, the NAFILE is the same.
    Since the only difference is where the scripts are located that are being run (the scheduled one is in an "installed to" location, whereas when I run it using the super-user ID, I'm just running it from a 'scripts' folder that I copied to the same parent folder that the Documaker project's subfolders are in), and the ID itself that's running it, that seems to imply it's authorization related, but there's nothing different in the log files, nothing in the output listing, errfile, etc. I've wondered if there's a Debug option I could try turning on to see if that spits out anything that would help, but not sure which rule to use/turn on.
    Has anybody ever run into something like this before, or have a better grasp on what could be happening and where I should look next?
    We're running 11.5, patch 4, and as I mentioned, we're running it on the Linux platform, creating Metacode output.
    Thanks,
    Gregg

    Hi Gregg,
    Everything you've mentioned seems to indicate that it's related to permissions. Is it possible that you could change the permissions on the PDF file (something like chmod 777) and see if this makes a difference in the resulting output? I've not heard of something like this before.

  • Problem using a group which has a space in it's DN when using LDAP Group mappings in UCS 1.4

    Hey,
    We've been implementing LDAP authentication (Active Directory) using LDAP group mapping in UCS 1.4, and we've noticed that when using a group which has a DN with a space in it (such as "UCS Admins") it wouldn't authenticate the user with the appropriate role.
    Using a DN without spaces (such as "UCSAdmins"), works just fine.
    I should mention that having a base DN with spaces works just fine as well, it's just the group mappings that doesn't work.
    I should also mention that Cisco's "Quick guide to configuring ldap for ucs 1.4" shows an example in which the group's DN doesn't include a space.
    Is there a workaround available which can make it possible using a group which has a space in it's name?
    Thanks,
    Dor

    Hey Roman,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    We've tried putting quotes using UCSM which is not possible at all - not for the entire entry nor for the part with spaces.
    We've also tried using CLI ("scope security/ldap/ldap-group") where you have to put quotes if you use a DN with spaces, and it still doesn't work. Furthermore, we tried adding quotes only to the part with the spaces, i.e. - CN="UCS Admins",OU=TEST,DC=TEST. It adds the entry without an error, but shows like we would use "CN=UCS Admins,OU=TEST,DC=TEST". Anyway, it doesn't work either.
    Thanks again,
    Dor

  • HT204053 I just purchased more storage space(10gb) for   iPAD, but when I attempted to download an app An error message appeared prompting me to buy more storage. according to my ICloud  I have 15gb available. Does anyone have any suggestions

    If you are trying to download an app and get an error about not enough memory, it's talking about memory on your iPad, not in iCloud.  I don't know what you mean by purchasing more storage space for your iPad, you can't add more memory to a device.  You may have bought more memory in iCloud, but that's not going to fix your current problem.  You need to delete songs or video, or some other large files from your iPad to make room for a new download.

  • Why are Image Export Sizes Doubled when using Save vs. SaveForWeb&Devices?

    Hi Folks
    Maybe I'm missing something here ...
    I have 2 versions of an action I use to batch process images. One uses the Save As dialogue and the other uses SaveForWeb&Devices. However, the image sizes created using the latter are about 50% smaller than those created with the former. The two actions differ only in the Save step - I duplicated the original and swapped the save step in the action.
    Is SaveForWeb&Devices usign a more efficient optimisation algorithm or am I missing something?
    The reason for using the Save As dialog is that Batch Processing is able to override the save location, whereas I had trouble overriding save location in a batch process which used an Action that Saved using SaveForWeb&Devices.
    Cheers
    Richard
    P.S. I also find this size doubling takes place when using the Image Processing script supplied with PS. I'm on PS5 on OSX10.6.8.

    SfW throws out redundant custom data, when the normal JPEG save does not. Using the normal save e.g. also retains clipping paths (10 years ago people used that al lthe time for print stuff) and of course also more info on color management, user metadata and what have you. Therfe may bne more specific optimizations in SfW, but that's something Mr. Cox can probably answer better...

  • Freeze Frame Duration Selection Is Incorrect When Using PAL Projects ?

    I have done a search of the FCE and FCP forums but can find no information. This was originally posted in the FCP forum but is equally applicable to FCE.
    Over here in Europe an apparent bug has been noticed connected with FCP 5.1 and FCE 3.5 (which is based on it) when using PAL projects.
    To begin with, the default Freeze Frame time in the User Preferences is 12 seconds yet when stills appear in the Browser they are the normal 10 seconds.
    If the duration in the Preferences is altered, the actual time of the picture in the Browser or Timeline is always five sixths of the time set.
    This curiously is the same figure you get if you compare NTSC and PAL frame rates. PAL has five sixths the number of fps as NTSC.
    So if in the preferences I set 6 seconds, I get 5 seconds in the Browser. Three seconds gives an actual time of around two and a half seconds and so on.
    I must stress that it is only FCP 5.1 and FCE 3.5 that appear to be affected.
    Earlier versions eg. FCE 1.0.1 and FCE 3.0 behave perfectly.
    We don't know the situation with FCP 6 as we have not yet had the opportunity to test it.
    You can replicate the problem by altering your Easy Setup to DV-PAL and look at the Freeze Frame Duration in the preferences.
    Then import a photo into the Browser.
    Alter the duration in the preferences and import another photo.
    I am sure you will see that there is a large discrepancy between the chosen duration and the actual.
    Is this a known problem and is there a simple way around it ?
    Ian.

    CORRECTION !
    It has been pointed out that the Freeze Frames are NOT affected by this bug - only the IMPORTED STILL PICTURES.
    Incidentally, for any PAL user whose maths is not too good (like mine), here is a table of corrections:-
    Freeze Frame Discrepancy.
    From Final Cut Pro 5.1 and Final Cut Express 3.5 onwards there is a bug that makes the chosen Freeze Frame time WHEN IMPORTING STILL PICTURES differ from the actual time when using PAL settings.
    This table tells you what time (in seconds and frames) to set your preferences in order to achieve an actual time:-
    Desired Time.......... Set Preferences
    01:00.......... 01:05
    02:00.......... 02:10
    03:00.......... 03:10
    04:00.......... 04:15
    05:00.......... 06:00
    06:00.......... 07:00
    07:00.......... 08:10
    08:00.......... 09:10
    09:00.......... 10:15
    10:00.......... 12:00

  • Getting prompted to Save As when using Save option

    We would like to deploy Reader XI with Protected Mode enabled. We have noticed that when using the Save option the user receives a prompt to Save As instead. I understand this is a security feature to basically grant Reader/Acrobat permission to save to this location.
    Issue is that we have in house software that opens the PDF using Reader allowing the user to make markups and then save, but if the user saves the file to a different location this will cause the in house software to fail. Older version of Reader with Protected Mode disabled allows just the save to be used and the original file location to be preserved.
    Is there anyway to white list this Directory so that Reader can save to it without a Save As prompt?
    Only fix I know of currently is to disable Protected Mode but we would like to avoid that if possible
    Thanks

    There is a notation in the documentation that may be relevant.
    "Permissions granted by other features often overlap. For example, cross domain policies, internet access settings in Trust Manager, and certificate trust settings for certified documents sometimes interact so that the most permissive setting takes precedence. Users should TEST THEIR CONFIGURATION prior to deployment."
    Have you checked the possible overlapping features?

  • Problem with table-indexes when using select-options in select

    Hello experts,
    is it right that table-indexes will not be used if you take select-options to select data from the database?
    in detail:
    i have build up an table-index for one of our db-tables and test it via an test-programm. The first test with '=' comparisons worked fine. Every key of the index was used; checked via ST05!
    e.g.:    SELECT * FROM TABLEA INTO ITAB WHERE keya = '1' AND keyb = '2' AND keyc = '3'.
    Now i startet the test with select-options
    e.g.:   SELECT * FROM TABLEA INTO ITAB WHERE keya IN seltabA  AND keyb IN seltabB AND keyc IN seltabC.
    First of all i just filled the seltabs with only 1 value:    eg:  seltabA=      SIGN = 'I'   OPTION = 'EQ'   LOW = '1'     etc.
    Everything worked fine. Every key of the index was used.
    But now, I putted more than one entries in the seltabs e.g.
    seltabA:      SIGN = 'I'   OPTION = 'EQ'   LOW = '1'
                       SIGN = 'I'   OPTION = 'EQ'   LOW = '2'   
                       SIGN = 'I'   OPTION = 'EQ'   LOW = '3'
    From now on, the indexed was not used completely (with all keys).
    Isn't that strange? How can i use select-options or sel-ranges with using the complete table-indexes?
    Thanks a lot,
    Marcel

    Hi Hermann,
    i hope this helps:
    this is the first one, which uses the complete index:
    SELECT                                                                     
      "KOWID" , "LIFNR" , "KLPOS" , "ORGID" , "KOART" , "MATNR" , "GLTVON" ,   
      "GLTBIS" , "WERT" , "ABLIF" , "FAKIV" , "AENAM" , "AEDAT" , "AFORM" ,    
      "HERSTELLER" , "ARTGRP" , "OE_FREITXT" , "ARTFREITEXT" , "STATUS" ,      
      "TERDAT"                                                                 
    FROM                                                                       
      "/dbcon/01_con"                                                       
    WHERE                                                                      
      "MANDT" = ? AND "LIFNR" = ? AND "ORGID" = ? AND "KOART_BASIS" = ? AND    
      "STATUS" = ? AND "GEWAEHR_KOWID" < ? AND ( "STATUS" = ? OR "STATUS" = ? OR
      "STATUS" = ? )  WITH UR                 
    RESULT: 5 IXSCAN /dbcon/01_con05 #key columns:  4
    And the second one, which does not use the complete index! The 3 ranges are filled each with 2 values. Remember; when i fill them each with only one value, the result is the same as you can see above(/dbcon/01_con05 #key columns:  4):
    SELECT                                                                     
      "KOWID" , "LIFNR" , "KLPOS" , "ORGID" , "KOART" , "MATNR" , "GLTVON" ,

  • Huge file size  grow when using external editor

    Hello,
    I want to use an external editor such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. When I set one of the applications to be the external editor everytime I open a file for editing a version is created with a file size of approx. 57 Mb.
    Any ideas what is going on here?

    Lt, it's also worth seeing if you have the setting for the TIFF so that it best suits you.  If you don't require a 16 bit TIFF make sure the it's set to create an 8 bit TIFF instead.  The 57 meg size sounds like a 16 bit image.  An 8 bit one will be half that
    .  Before Aperture I used to stay16 bit right up until I passed the image off to whoever it was going to, at which point I'd make them an 8 bit version because that would usually be what they wanted.  But now so much of whatever advantage that brought me (exposure and tonal changes, especially in solid areas) is being done in Aperture, even before creating a TIFF, so it can be argued that for many people the advantage of exporting 16 bit to the external editor isn't gaining them that much.  If it's going to a consumer printer (that is not 16 bit aware) even more so.   16 bit is better, but if size is an issue and Aperture is doing 90% of the global tweaking, I don't think sending the editor an 8 bit TIFF is a crime  :  )  

  • Font size incorrect when printing smartform

    Hi,
    I have a smartform containing many smaller windows with frames. One big window should show a word in grey and in big letters behind all the other windows.
    In my smartstyles, I have used the font family "HELVE", font style bold and the size 72. When I print to a sap printer device, the word is printed in very small letters and in black. When I´m printing about LOCL and then on the same printer, the fontsize is correct.
    What can I do to change that?
    The second problem is, that the letters are shown over the frames of the other windows, but it should be completely in the background. I put the window with the backgorund letters as the first window on the screen to get it behind all others, but it´s not working....
