Suggestions for migration

I have an Xserve with a RAID card setup in RAID 5 with the 3 hard drives. I have 3 new hard drives that I want to install instead because we are running out of space. What is the best way to get the data migrated from the current drives? Any help would be appreciated!

Hi
Do you have an external hard drive (firewire preferable) that is equal to or greater than the current RAID? If you do boot from the installer disk and clone the existing RAID set to this drive.
When done specify the external drive as the boot device for the XServe. Test that the clone works as it should. Once you're happy shut it down and remove the drive sleds. Number the drives as you remove them just in case. Install the new drives and insert the drive sleds again. Boot from the Installer Disk. Use the RAID Utility to create the new RAID Set. Once you've got that going you can use DU to clone the external drive to the new RAID Set.
You should be able to do this whilst the RAID Set is being built. It will take some time, 14-18 hours in my experience, so let it go overnight. Once it's done specify the new RAID Set as the boot drive and reboot. Test the new system.
If it all goes pear-shaped you have two fail-safes you can revert back to which should allow you time to consider a different approach.

Solution Manager Key info for Migration

Hi Guru's,
As we are planning to migrate / system copy all systems like SAP Portal , BI & XI to a new hardware, from P5-P590 to P6-P570 (The OS version, TL level and Patch Level for the both LPAR's remains same, i.e No change on OS versions).
My question here is:
We have generated a solution manager key for all systems while installation, if we migrate any SAP system to a new hardware i.e. P6-P570, will the solution manager keys work in new environment for all systems? Our Solution manager server is also on P5-P590 environment.
As we are planning to migrate solman server also to a new env (P6-P570) from P5-P590, if the solmanger key doesnu2019t work on new env, do we need to migrate the solman server first to a new env and generate a new solman key and assign the key to the migrated systems on new env.
Note: We are doing as is migration, i.e. hostname, SID & IP remains same.
I hope my question is clear and understandable.
Please provide your valuable inputs / suggestions for the migration and also provide any link for the migrations.
Points will be awarded for each valuable answer.

Hi,
If your operating system is Unix ( any flavour ) then you can create the same mount points on new hardware ( except rootvg - operating system ) and copy entire contents from old hardware's mount points to new one. You need to take care of users , groups like ORA<SID>, and <SID>ADM , DBA, SAPSYS etc. In that scenario your hardware key will change so you need to apply new license in marketplase.
Better to migrate rootvg from your existing OS if possible , in that scenartio you need not take care of OS users , groups etc.

EMIGALL performance for migration object OBJCLASS

Hi all,
my previous question, was Classification of IFLOT & EQUI via CLB2 / CLB1 & was focused on improving performance of classification of IFLOT & EQUI objects.
Testing EMIGALL for migration object OBJCLASS I am seeing no performance gains between a single thread update & parallel update threads. IE the single thread throughput is reported as ~the same as the parallel threads throughput combined.
I note in the job logs of my various tests;
for a single thread, that no messages are logged between the start & end of the migration.
for parallel threads, that message C4 200 'Class "CLASSNAMEHERE" is locked' appearing many times.
I don't see any unexpected migration errors in ether case.
Are there any insights on how I might improve over all throughput using this method? I cant see any control parameters for this object, nor does the Guideline have much information on OBJCLASS.
First world problems :-/

Hello Daniel,
Without having much insight into your system and infrastructure details or the volume that you are working with, I suggest for you to try below for performance improvement.
1. Run DB Statistics on functional location and Equipment related tables such as EQUI, IFLOT, ILOA, etc. (these are HLO objects that you are updating by way of classification). Also update classification table such as AUSP. These tables mentioned here as a starting point.
2. Also strongly suggest that a performance trace be done on this job to analyze and identify another table or steps that may be a performance bottleneck and maybe a candidate for DB statistics refresh Or some other corrective action.
3. The locks maybe occurring due to a mass update which is as expected. Perhaps to get by that you may want to use "commit buffering allowed" option for this migration object and set to say a number "10" or "20" to start with and see if it helps better the performance. As you would have noticed, locks will also impact performance.
4. Please also refer to Cookbook for ISUMIG Performance and refer to sections for DEVICE, CONNOBJ and DEVLOC. These are HLO objects for classification and there may be some useful insight in that document too.
Hope this helps.

What is the best solution for migrating from Maverick to Yosemite?

What is the best solution for migrating from Maverick to Yosemite? Anyone have suggestions?

Back up all data. Update all third-party software to the latest version and remove any you don't need. Download the Yosemite installer from the App Store. Run it.

Is there any way to launch Shared Services in command prompt for migration?

Hi All,
We are on 11.1.1.1.3 Is there any way to launch Shared Services in command prompt for migration purposes? The purpose is we need to automate the migration process from Dev to Prod. Currently we are exporting artifacts by using LCM in shared service by file management and then exporting that folder to prod server and then importing by using LCM. So we need to automate the whole process.
So is there any way we can launch shared services/LCM in command prompt to launch the migration for export/import artifacts?
Any suggestions will be great help.

Did you see the bit in the documentation called "Creating Migration Definitions"?
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_lifecycle_management/ch06s03s01.htm
Also, if you follow this link, the docs explain how to (sort of) generate the xml:

Pls give solution for migrate 8.1.6 oracle db to 10g

hi,
i am neeraj goyal , i am oracle dba in hutch telecom gujarat , we want migation our databases 8.1.6 to 10g . so pls provide us good way for migration. this is possible or not , pls provide best solution .
regards
neeraj kumar goyal

Neeraj,
Unfortunately, the release you are having with urself, i.e. 8.1.6 is not directly upgradable to 10g. DB release of 9.2.0, 9.0.7, 8.1.7 and 8.0.6 are only ones that are directly upgradable to 10g.
I will suggest You to upgrade ur release to either of the ones mentioned above and then finally upgrade this intermediate relase to 10g. Its a general problem faced by ones having releases 8.1.6, 8.1.5, 8.0.5, 8.0.4, 8.0.3, 7.3.4, etc. and in all these cases, we upgrade to an intermediate release and eventually end up upgrading this intermediate release to 10g.
Feel free to revert back to me for any clarifications.
Regards,
Manoj

Suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer

Greetings from a new member. Not sure how to post some usability suggestions for PSE 11 Organizer, but here goes... I realize others have already posted similar comments, which triggered further discussions. However, my intent is just to bring these simple, but to me important, suggestions to the attention of the developers of PSE 11.
I have used PSE on Windows XP starting with PSE 4, then PSE 7, and very recently PSE 11. Earlier this year, I switched to a Mac OS X system and transferred my photos and PSE 11 catalog to PSE 11 on the Mac. I followed the backup/restore instructions on the PSE support site and am mostly quite happy with the results. However, I’m disappointed that the following usability features of PSE 7 organizer are missing in PSE 11 organizer (on both Windows and OS X). Note that I plan to use PSE on OS X exclusively from now on.
In PSE 7, when right clicking on one or more selected photos, the popup menu listed “View photos in full screen”, but it no longer does so in PSE 11. Although Full Screen is available on the View menu, having it on the popup would be even more useful.
In both PSE 7 and PSE 11, that same right-click popup menu lets you REMOVE selected photos from an album. It would be great if the popup menu would also let you ADD selected photos to an existing album.
In PSE 7, I could display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy/tree view (there was no folder list view in PSE 7). In PSE 11, the album list is visible only with folder list view. This makes it impossible to drag photos to an album from folder hierarchy view. Please fix PSE to display the album list simultaneously with folder hierarchy view.
I suggest that the default folder view be folder hierarchy (not folder list). Or even better, let the user choose the default folder view in Preferences.
Starting with PSE 4, I organized my thousands of photos in several main folders and hundreds of subfolders. Many subfolders have the same name, and frequently the subfolder name is a date. Because the PSE 11 folder list view doesn’t show the hierarchical context, folder list view is just clutter and completely useless for me. As recommended in other posts, I do intend to start using tags/events/places and other suggested ways to organize my photos. However, this will be in addition to (not instead of) using folders. I like organizing my photos in folders, just as I like organizing my other files (text, spreadsheet, etc.) in folders. Also, categorizing photos via tags, places, events, etc. is not equivalent to, and does not replace, using folders. For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
Thanks for listening...

My own answer will be about :

For me, categorizing in this manner is an additional usability feature to using folders.
The fact is that the Organizer has been built historically on a database to manage keywords and categories with some additional tools to enable folder browsing and managing. Note that for other types of applications like word processors or spreadsheets, you have the same choice with using keywords or folder structures.
So, where are we in version 12 ? From what I am reading today, I'll risk a few guesses.
- I am convinced that most people relying like you on folder organization don't use the Organizer or have given up using it.
- A great part of the critiques about the Organizer come about people not understanding the idea of catalogs and categories/keywords (I know that is not your case)
- Anoter great part of the critiques is that the implementation of folder organizing in Elements has aliways been lame and buggy.
What's new in PSE12 is that the folder view has been completely rebuilt. And the result is perceived differently depending on your camp : database or folders...
- For Folder tenants, the result is two-sided. They are happy to have the folder view with all trees back - They don't see the point of the folder list - They are not happy with the new interface based on new categories (people, events...) - They miss the link between albums and folders as you have mentionned
- For database tenants, the main advantage is that a lot of bugs have been corrected and that they can use the folders view and folder list as a secondary tool for organizing. The folder list (a feature I had requested) is a great tool for those wanting to migrate from a folder organization to a database one. Usually, the folder names are significant and enable very fast keywording and constitute a powerful search tool.
- For both camps, the common grudge is the loss of alphanumerical sort order in folder view. I don't care personnally, but I think it's necessary for people working on scans.
So, my wish is that the next version of the Organizer can satisfy people like you,so that much more people use and are happy with the Organizer

ITunes error message: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Any suggestions for curing this?

After migrating my old iMac to my new one, every time I start iTunes, I get the following message: "We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred (4002). Any suggestions for curing this?

Perfect - thanks so much!
For anyone else wondering, the clue was in what was displayed on the screen after I turned iTunes Match on again: it asked whether I wanted to add this computer. Having copied my iTunes library over from the old machine, I'd completely forgotten that iTunes Match identifies each computer uniquely (not each iTunes Library), so was never going to work with this one until I specifically added it. Sorted!

Advice for migrating from Exchange to OS X Server

I am in the process of migrating away from Microsoft products altogether. The biggest beast of all is going to be Exchange.
I am looking at imapsync as a possible method of migrating user mailboxes. Is there anyone here who has undergone this task? Are there any better solutions out there for migrating the mailboxes over?
Thanks in advance.

Is it really that problematic?
I am supporting (begrudgingly) a number of OS X Mail servers. What Apple has up to now has not been very good. No vacation messaging without rolling your own add-in, weak web mail interface, poor integration with other Apple products (iPhone), randomly corrupted databases for no apparent reason, the inability to maintain read/not read status on reconstruct or migration, poor spam handling, no migration tools. I call it the problem of the week. I got a new one today. Unlike any other problem ever seen so far. And it effects one account only. I will admit that I am just tired of it. Does it work. Mostly. But there are better solutions on the platform than the built in solution. Now, this "may" change when Snow Leopard is released. http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/02/13/snowleopard_server_to_ramp_up_scalability_andperformance.html which I can not confirm nor deny.
I have used straight postfix on Linux before with only an occasional problem, but never in a corporate environment.
Sadly, this is postfix on OS X, not postfix on Linux. As sad as this is to say, there is a difference and the difference is not in favor of OS X.
My boss, on the other hand has been a Mac guy for 10+ years and assures me that I will be impressed by the performance gains and lack of issues we will have by switching over from Microsoft products.
You will have gains. You will not be tied to licensing fees. You will not be plagued by the intricacies of an Exchange server and its myriad of updates, patches, tweaks, and adjustments. Heck, you will not have to reboot the machine every week to keep it from crashing. OS X has a lot of advantages over Windows in a server environment. OS X has a lot of really good services that are rock solid (BIND, Apache, racoon, the dev tools, Apple File Services (yes, I said it, it is a really good filing protocol!), Podcast server, wikis, directory services, chat server...) that make the OS X a swiss army knife of sorts. But in my experience, mail has been an afterthought and generally more trouble than it is worth.
As a side note, I should mention that Apple did pull off some real magic with the one checkbox mail cluster. I you have an Xsan and are load balancing your mail servers, the setup is beyond easy. There, I said something nice.
Is there anyone out there who has done this successfully and may perhaps know of an easy method of migrating the mailboxes in. Right now, it is a toss up between imapsync and doing a straight import via Outlook using their pst files from the nightly exmerge.
There are methods of doing the migration. If you decide to import via Outlook, I suggest doing a rule based move. If you do a drag and drop, the IMAP connection will likely drop after a few hundred messages and then you have no idea where it stopped. Create a rule to do the move. It will take longer but the time lost to frustration and manually finding where the copy stopped equals out.
Good luck in your migration. I am sorry if I came down negative. OS X Server is a great product. I just have a lot of criticism about the mail implementation. I will say, I am looking forward to September a bit as my opinion may change.

Getting Ready for Migration - Problem with BT ID

Hi,
I have read several e-mails from a recent thread on the forum which suggest that Migration of BT Yahoo e-mail accounts to the BT Mail service might resume sometime soon, and may even be completed by the end of April. Whether that will be so or not I guess we will have to wait and see. However, just in case, and for my account to be as ready as it can be, I need clarification of a particular potential problem.
I used to have two phone lines, let us say Line 1 and line 2. Now I only have one 'active' line (Line 1). Line 2 was cancelled a long time ago and my Broadband transferred to Line 1.
The above two lines had two seperate BT ID's (e-mail addresses). One being my Primary e-mail address which is one that ends @btinternet.com, but this remains the BT ID attached to Line 2 (the cancelled line).
The second BT ID, for Line 1, now my only line, has a User Name (e-mail address) which ends @gmail.com. The use of this e-mail address as the User Name was configured by a person on the BT Support Desk several years ago, when trying to resolve an issue at the time.
This morning I tried to change the User Name (e-mail address) on my BT ID for Line 1, so that it has the correct Primary e-mail address (ending @btinternet.com), I was unable to do so as the system said that this e-mail was already in use on another account (see above re cancelled line 2).
I can presently see no way that I can remove/delete/edit the account that covers the old cancelled line, so that it 'frees up' the use of my Primary e-mail address (@btinternet.com), enabling me to use it as the BT ID on my only remaining line (Line 1).
Is there a way I can cancel/delete/remove the now unused account? If not, is there a way for me to edit my Profile on Line 1, so that I can use my correct Primary e-mail as the ID, in preparation for the migration?
I apologise if this sound messy, but I want my account to be as 'clean' as possible, so that there are no potential problems when it finally comes to migration taking place.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Alan

Hi,
First of all, thanks to whiskywheels for the well-intended suggestion. I appreciated the thought, but in my experience there is not a chance that just a phone call to BT Support whould have solved the problem. It was BT Phone Support that in part are responsible for creating the problem I now find myself with.
However, the reason for my coming back on this is to say that I had a phone call this afternoon from a MOD who I am absolutely certain was trying to be honest and helpful. The upshot of what she said is that no useful purpose would be served by changing my BT ID, as I only have one BT ID, not two as I intimated in my first e-mail in this thread (see message 1 of this thread for an explanation).
I do have two accounts (one live - with the only phone line I have) and (one dead and now unused, although I can still access its information in MyBT).
Following the MOD's advice, having nothing to this effect in writing, I will try not to quote her exactly (I don't want to fall foul of breaking any BT rules etc), but my understanding was that my Primary e-mail address, and several sub-accounts are all 'linked' to one BT ID she said I have, the one that ends [email protected] .
My reason for raising this in the first place was to be as prepared as I can be for Migration to BT Mail when it finally comes along.
I have however to admit to now being really confused. Maybe it is the case that I have confused what is an ID, and the use of e-mail addresses as an ID. What I mean by that is as follows:
Using the e-mail tab on the BT.Com homepage the login asks for BT ID or Email Address, and then a Password. If I then use the one BT ID I am told that I have, then subseqently add the current e-mail password, I get a message which says "We don't recognise your details. Please check you've entered your full email address and password correctly and try again."
When I try inputting my primary e-mail address (instead of the BT ID), and then the e-mail password as before (which did work ok this afternnon, but now will not) I currently get the predictable request to change my password. It's a nightmare to say the least, and fills me with no confidence whatsoever for when that fateful day of Migration finally arrives.
If the login that comes up after pressing the e-mail tab asks for a BT ID, why will that not work, if as the MOD says I only have one BT ID not the two that I had thought. I could go on, but I am sure you get the point, confusion reigns!
I would have much preferred that my BT ID was the same as my primary e-mail address, but the MOD in question said 'to the effect' that it was not necessary.
Any thoughts or advice??

AlanF

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great

I cannot send an email from my iPad 2? No problem receiving, why does this happen? Have tried the suggestions for setting up email and after doing the sync mail through iTunes receiving worked great but still cannot send? Any help would be great!

The fact that you can receive means you have a valid e mail address, and have established the connection to the incoming server, so all of that works. Since the send does not work, that means your outgoing server is rejecting whatever settings you used formthe outgoing set up. Try them again.
Google your particular isp, and ipad and many times you will find the exact settings needed for your isp. Or tell us here, and soneone else may be on the same isp. Some mail services need you to change a port, or have a unique name for the outgoing server.
Kep trying.

Is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed. my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/me

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

How to make suggestion for improvements in LR

How do I make suggestions for new features or improvements in LR?
The stacking function, IMO, needs to be improved. The time between shots does not take into account the length of exposure. For example if my exposure is 5 seconds the stacking exposure will not add the two exposures together in the time setting < 4 seconds.
Ideally I would like to see an HDR stacking function, looks at time between exposures (taking into account the length of exposure) and changes in exposure.
ideally there would be similar options for pans and focus stacking.
Thanks
