To much disk IO when using virtual box in windows 2008sp2

We are using virtualbox for our linux guest servers on windows 2008 sp2 host.
when ever i start Installation(EBS/SAP), Virtual box is crashing with IO errors , then i can see high disk io consumption in server.
RAM: 32GB
HDD: 2TB(partitions C drive : 100 GB and D drive 946 GB and E drive 860 )
INTL-CORE I7-3820-3.6GZ
I've tried to use below fix but i am getting error message that this fix is not compatible. .
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982383/en-us
i am really new to win-server admin,let me know what else log files i need to look to find the issue.

partition full formatted and allocated in vbox ? if set dynamic it will create bigger io in the end. If vbox fail because of io, then check to update
it.
I ran vbox off a atom processor with a built-in HDD controller, and yes it was working even if lagging to hell because of bad IO, but crashing is another story. (it was 2012 DC + Exchange and VBOX with a full OS on it... on a IDE 5200's hdd, to give
the stat)

Uninstalling Sun Virtual Box and Windows 7 from Macbook Pro?

Hi everyone!
Can anyone tell me how to properly UN-install Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta from my Macbook Pro so I can reinstall Windows 7 Beta thru Boot Camp?
I recently installed Sun's Virtual Box and Windows 7 Beta on my Macbook Pro. It works fine, but there are some things about Virtual Box I am not happy with. I'm told that uninstalling both Windows 7 and Virtual Box and reinstalling Windows 7 through Boot Camp will be better for what I want and Windows 7 will run much better that way.

Thank you - I really appreciate your response. I did delete the .dmg so I guess I will have to re-download it from Sun and then uninstall it as you suggested.
Maybe you can answer another quick question? I am hearing both YES and NO in regards to being able to install the Windows 7 Beta using Boot Camp. Any problems that you might be aware of?
If you visit our BootCamp forum you will find many users running Win7http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1244
While Win7 is not supported, for many users, that's not important.
When I installed Vista Ultimate 64-bit on this MBP, it was not supported and I installed it under Tiger and a beta of BootCamp! It still works. Experimenting is fun and a great learning experience.
Just be sure you have a viable backup - SuperDuper!, CCC or TM before installing BootCamp and Win7 and you always have a path for a recovery should anything go wrong.
Enjoy!

Text "disappears" when using text box tool

We are running Adobe Acrobat Standard vers. 7.0.9 inside Thomson Corporation's GoFileRoom vers. 6.0. When using the text box tool to add comments to a pdf, the text within the text box "takes on" the color of the background of the box, making it seem that the text has disappeared. The only way to see the text is to edit the text box and change the font color OR to view the contents of the text box in the Comments section. How do I resolve this? Would appreciate any help.

I am having the same problem. Both with text boxes and text in the actual document. Do you think it is GoFileRoom related? I never made the connection but I wouldn't be surprised. It seems worse when different versions of Adobe are used. Some have ver 7 and other ver 8 but we are all using GFR.
Have you had any help?

Installing oracle db 10.2.0.1 on REHL 5.6 using virtual box

I can't solve this erratic behavior:
Scenario: Phisical machine Windows 7 32b, virtual box v 3.2.12
Virtual machine Oracle Linux 5.6 64b installed without problems (I have installed several machines with p.e. SuSE 10 64b,
SuSE 11 64b and installed Oracle 10g without problems, Linux Oracle 5.6 with Oracle DB 11 ok)
Trying to install Oracle 10.2.0.1 (need to be this version) every time I exec runInstaller, it begins, but simply freezes the
machine. Each time it freezes at different points: sometimes at the first screen, other times I can reach the last screen with
the install button.
¿can someone give any ideas ?
Thanks

Do you use Virtual Box VM... Please help with this.

hey everyone I'm extremely new with all this stuff...
I have a iMac 10.5.4 with the most current version of Virtual Box.
When i load Virtual Box everything is rocking and extremely cool... but after an hour or so my network/server connections dies off on the mac side.
when i go to GO >> Connect to Server >>
smb://ipaddress
I get this pop up...
error connecting to the server >>
I click OK and i get an error code -36
the only way for me to connect again to the server is to shut down everything and restart the iMac it works just fine and i load VB back up and than everything works for about another hour or so and than i have to restart everything again.
any clues to my issue?
thanks for helping a newbie!
cp

...but since you are learning, and would like to know where was the bug, I tried your code and updated it.
The only two small problems I found:
1. You have a while loop that checks if there are more tokens.. it's not needed and this while loop will only run because by the second run, you would have consumed all the tokens in the for loop, check would fail and while loop will be exited. [I have removed this while loop in my version below]
2. Now, here is the bug:your for loop has a condition that evaluates (i < st.countTokens()).
Now count tokens will only return "remaining" tokens. Assuming test string "this is a test", countTokens return 4. Then as you consume the first token, it is 3, then 2 then 1. All this while for loop's i is going 1,2...
i = 0, countTokens = 4
i = 1, countTokens = 3
i = 2, countTokens = 2, check fails, and for loop is exited.
So all you have in your array is first two tokens. Rest of the array is null as it was when you created the array.
So then when you loop back and check index 3,2,1,0.. 3 and 2 elements are still nill, that's why you get the result you are getting.
Here is the fixed code:
String sentence = "this is second test"; //String variable to hold user input
String output = ""; //String variable to enable display of output
String buffer = "";//String variable to hold output
st = new StringTokenizer(sentence);
int tokenCount = st.countTokens();
//Array to hold tokens
String tokenHolder[] = new String[tokenCount];
//Walk through the tokens
for (int i = 0; i < tokenCount; i++)
tokenHolder[i] = st.nextToken();
String reversedTokens[] = new String[tokenCount];
//Walk through the array in reverse
for (int j = tokenCount-1; j >= 0; j--)
//Add the reversed token to the ouptut string
output += tokenHolder[j] + " ";
System.out.println(output);
}

Computer crashes when using virtual channel custom scales.

I am using a PXI-1045, which is connected to my computer via a MXI-3, to hold 3 PXI-6115 cards as well as several other cards. I have been using virtual channels for the nine input channels I am looking at. When I added custom scaling to one of the virtual channels my LabView application crashed the next time I ran it. If I remove the scaling it goes back to working fine, but when I add it back in it crashes again. The crash causes the computer to automatically restart, but on one of the runs I got a "Fatal Internal Error: 'memory.cpp', line 593" message before the computer restarted. I've tried reinstalling MAX and updating some drivers, but nothing seems to help.
Thank you.

Still having the same problem. Ever the optimist, I submit the following info.

Teardrop-shaped overlay when using YouView box

Hi,
I've got a minor problem. When using the YouView box, a teardrop-shaped overlay has appeared. The overlay will be static at times, and also jump slightly. It's not the first time this has happened, but I can't remembered what got rid of it the first time. This time, after starting in the top left, it's now migrated right to the middle of the screen.
Obviously I'd rather not reform a compete reset on the box (the last time it happened, I didn't), so any wisdom would be gratefully appreciated. Steps I've already performed:
Switching the box off at the mains
Leaving it off overnight
Switching between different HDMI cables
Unplugging the Ethernet cable. Reconnecting it.
Checking for software update, and rescanning for new TV channels.
Staring angrily at it.
Like I said, any help would be great.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just a guess really but have you got anything plugged in the usb port? or registered a device on either apple or Android using the youview app. I mention this because the shape looks a bit like a large mouse pointer?
Thank you! Days of headscratching, all because of a USB charging hub plugged into the back of the box. The 'teardrop' may very well have been a mousepointer.
Thanks again!

Problem getting db connection when using virtual hosts / tomcat / apache

Hello,
I have servlets that use a connection pool to query an oracle database. When running Tomcat 5.5 stand-alone, everything works fine. But the same servlets do not work when running them on a server tomcat and apache integrated with jk and using virtual hosts. The problem is the connection pool, because servlets not using the pool also work fine.
Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Thank you.
Logan

Hi Saish,
Thank you for helping.
Try connecting with the machinen's IP, if this is a viable strategy for you (meaning the database IP is not dynamically assigned).I'm not sure how to do this. Here is a copy of my context.xml:
<Context path="" docBase="" debug="0">
<Resource name="jdbc/CraigsList" auth="Container"
type="javax.sql.DataSource" username="craigslist" password="xxxxxx"
driverClassName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"

</Context>
Does this help?
Thanks.

Connecting an external USB Hard drive using Virtual Box

I Installed latest version of Virtual Box and created an Ubuntu Linux 12.04 guest without any hassle (after installing guest additions). My question is, I want to connect an external drive (formatted for Linux) using one of the usb ports of my Mac mini. I want my Linux OS to detect and mount this hard drive and be able to read/write to it, and even if possible, to make my VM boot from it. Is this feasible? Thanks for your help.

How to restrict disk space when using time machine for client backup on server?

We have 10 OS X SL Clients backing up on xserve SL with TM. Now 1 TB disk space is used and disk is full. The clients get the massage that the latest backup could not be finished due to target disk full. Clients run just OS X Standard Software plus Parallels with windows (max. 50 GB per client)
Why does TM not delete oldest backups like with external USB HD?
How can we restrict disk space on server to eg. 750 GB for total backup space for all clients?

I get a slow disk error when trying to play something in finale cut but when i try to verify disk and repair disk i get Error: Could not unmount disk. What is going on and how do i fix it?

You have to boot from a DVD or external OS to fix the Disk. You can't unmount a disk that is currently hosting your operating system.

How do I fix redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

I get redirected and/or pop ups while using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. It began immediately with the downloading of said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with that download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-boot scan with Avast, plus a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I still get redirects and/or pop ups.
It is an intelligent redirect (context sensitive), but tries to get money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, perhaps] with the pop up blocker likely built into Firefox, but Firefox Help led me instead to an 800 # that offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with Certified Techs as you will see in the chat below. It appeared to be a function of Firefox, not a redirect.
Just after the chat with the 800 outfit I opened FireFox and it went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a string of more hash, which is possibly how the popups get propagated?
I went to mozilla via url and soon got encouraged to download new version, saying current one out of date. But it was going to download from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/
So it is not only very intelligent, it is also resistant to a lot of software removal tools.
What might you suggest? I have not tried many of those tools yet.

MySearchDial should have an entry in the Windows Control Panel, but possibly also have its hooks into all your browsers.
Checking and cleaning that will take a few steps. I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Are you able to rid yourself of it?

When using pop up editor windows on a Joomla 1.0.15 website the URLs selected in the pop-up are not passed back to the main window

The Joomla content management system version 1.0.15 provides a content editor which uses pop-up windows to select images and files. When using any of these pop up editor windows since 3.6.9 the URLs selected in the pop-up are not passed back to the main editor window.
Up until FF 3.6.8 there were no problems, but FF 3.6.9 and 3.6.10 both exhibit this same problem, as does FF 4 Beta 6. (Support Question raised on this forum in early September when 2.6.9 was released but no response)

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
