Unable to boot HP DL380 Gen9 with Oracle VM 3.3.2

We are trying to boot the HP DL380 Gen9 server with Oracle VM using cd or iso file but we get the message:
"unable to find any valid media"
We have booted the server with esxi iso file without any problem.

Hi 2751012,
I agree my comment about USB/SD local storage is questionable and understand many people use it. However in my personal opinion one of biggest Oracle VM disadvantages is lack of decent backup/restore features. Even if for VM Server it seems to be easy to re-install it from scratch after failure - one might just not want to waste this time. Also there might be some customization made on the server like multipathing, iptables, storage plugins, etc which will have to be reenabled/reinstalled after reinstall.
As for your other comment about wasting local storage: this has changed in 3.3 version. Now you can create local repository on free partition. This partition is left free during installation. Have a look at:
2.1 What's New in Oracle VM Release 3.3?
Installation and Upgrades
Oracle VM Server Installation Partitioning: The Oracle VM Server Installer now handles all disk partitioning itself, to optimize installation. Part of this process make sure that only the maximum required disk space for the Oracle VM Server software is used. Any remaining disk space is automatically partitioned to be used as a discoverable local disk that can be used to host a storage repository, or attached to a virtual machine hosted on the server. This improvement to disk space usage ensures the best possible use of machine resources. This change is only supported for locally hosted boot disks and does not apply to SAN disks.
I for example, use this space for ISO files and Templates. This can also be used as full repository for single-server installations.
Cheers,
Michal

Unable to connect Forms and Report with Oracle 9i database

Kindly advise.Yes, you definately needed to mention that. That suggests you also have 3 $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin directories, each with its own tnsnames.ora file. So you need to make sure you are hitting the correct one. I'd pick one to be the controlling one and set the TNS_ADMIN enviornment variable to point to it.

Unable to boot - flashing finder icon with question mark.

Hi all,
I just got a friends old xserv G5 to learn Mac and the server suite on. He gave me the OSX Server install disk (10.5 I believe) with the license keys.
I get the XServe into "Target Disk Mode" by turning it on holding T and plugging my friends Intel Pro MacBook into it VIA FireWire. We install the Server 10.5 to the Server Disk fine, no issues. All options checked. Then upon reboot we shutdown everything and try to boot the server up on it's own and then this is where we get the flashing finder icon problem...
Here's what we've tried:
I think the Firmware is locked because when I try to power on holding power + system identifier button, both rows flash instead of the one, here's what I've done
Tried removing a memory module, booting with command, alt, p + r, no effect.
Clear NVRM by pressing button behind PSU on mainboard of xserve. No effect.
Unplugging and removing battery for minute, to clear. No effect.
I guess what I'm trying to do is clear the firmware lock so I can direct the xserve to select the startup disk by pressing F1 / D as I'm assuming that's what the issue is?
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure about the dl-DVD thing. I'm trying to remember how I installed 10.5 on my G5 boxes (it's been a while) and I know I used the Administrator computer as described in the Getting Started guide, but I don't remember if I imaged the DVD to a firewire drive.
The easiest short-cut for that is to image the DVD onto a firewire drive and attach that to the Xserve and run it as the install media. It's much faster to install this way as well. Use Disk Utility to image the DVD onto an external firewire and then boot holding down the option key - choose the drive and then use the notebook as an "Administrator computer" as described in the guide. The only hold-ups are the IP space issues and make sure you know the Xserve serial number. In theory I think you can also use another computer with the DVD in the drive running in firewire mode but now you're up to three computers instead of 2 plus a firewire drive.
I've never been a fan of the notebook>>Xserve install process even before architecture issues arose. The Xserve has special hardware monitoring capabilities that you would lose when installing booted from a non-Xserve box. I know 10.5 was supposed to install a "global" image that would run on both platforms but I wouldn't trust it even if they said you could.

Unable to boot into safe mode with FileVault 2 enabled

I was trying to boot into safe mode earlier to try and fix a few things. It looks like I can't and I suspect it is because of FV2.
When the system starts I press shift after the tone, but then I have to release shift and enter the password and then Lion will only boot into normal mode.
I've also tried with sudo nvram boot-args="-x" from the terminal, but while it seesm that this way Lion starts to boot into safe mode, after a while it just restarts as if something crashed etc and then again, I have to enter the password for FV and all again as in a loop, i.e. Lion won't even start this way.
So I went into the recovery mode and I could make Lion start again at least in normale mode with sudo nvram boot-args="".
Any idea of what could be preventing Lion from entering safe mode?
Thanks in advance

The symptom may be unrelated to FileVault 2. I encountered the symptom with FileVault 2 disabled and with backward conversion (decryption) complete.
Apple reference for my bug report: 152162960. If the symptoms on your Mac compare to those on mine: progress may seem to cease during safe fsck.
Vito, as you are comfortable with the nvram command, please try the following:
sudo nvram boot-args="-v -x"
Restart the computer and note the last verbose lines that appear before you sense that progress has ceased. Then please add a note of those lines to this topic.
Additional questions
What model is your Mac?
What type of disk for the startup volume?
How many files on that volume?
Approximately how large are the attributes file and catalog file? (You might gain this information with a demo version of iDefrag.)
My current envronment

Unable to boot up my netbook with / win 7: error code: status 0xc000000f

Hi,
I have a mini 110-1133nr netbook w/win 7. I brought the recovery disc from hp and I have to use an external drive to run the recovery disc. The recovery disc wasn't able to run at all. I had changed the boot sequence for the usb frist then hard drive. But I had this error code: INFO the boot selection failed because a required device is inaccessible. status: 0xc000000f. Need help.. Thank You in advance!

You have to set the PC to boot from the usb drive, with the drive connected and the first recovery disc inserted, power up the notebook and hit F9 repeatedly to get the advanced boot menu, select the external usb drive as the boot device and hit enter, see if recovery starts.

Hi Mahesh,
Did you skip the step to set password for administrator during the installation?
It seems that if SIA cannot connect to CMS after the installation, it will not be shown in the CCM.

Unable to boot normally - Always need to boot with Single User Mode

Hi Community,
Since last few days, I am unable to boot my Macbook Pro normally, running latest version of OS X Yosemite. When I boot, it goes to grey screen with Apple logo and progress bar, once the progress completes to 100% (after 5-10 minutes which is very longer than usual), it asks me to 'Select language' which seems like fresh installation of OS X. In that case, when I click next and it doesn't detect my SSD (blank list of select installation disk/drive).
After reading some threads, I found work-around and always need to boot into Single user mode (by pressing Command+S during power on) and then need to run following commands...
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
"device is write protected" numerous times
reboot
and then only it loads OS X and displays login screen. This happens all the times and I need to follow above steps always to get login screen.
How can I fix this?

Please help me out here. I tried booting it off a USB flash drive with ATV flash but that gave me some errors and prompted me to login with username [email protected] with password frontrow
But I am not sure how to get to login using a suitable input. I tried to telnet it using my PC over network but I dont think it has initialized anything (like wifi or network) at the prompt. Would it take USB keyboard input? All I can do is remove the power and restart it with the usb flash out and get into then get into the recovery loop. I am not sure replacing the hard-drive would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

[SOLVED]Unable to boot eMac with Arch PPC

Hi everyone,
I just got into Arch and I realized there was a PPC port, so I decided to see if I could replace Ubuntu on my eMac (USB 2.0) with it. Unfortunately, I am unable to boot, getting stuck with the loading of the second-stage bootstrap. What should I be looking for in order to diagnose and conceivably remedy this issue?
I get the flashing folder with an alternating Mac face and question mark.
EDIT: Please see the link to the archlinuxppc-user mailing list for the resolution to my issue. I hope it helps someone else.

Hi DaNiMoTh,
Thanks for the reply. Well, I have just made a post at the mailing list page, so hopefully it will be approved by the moderators soon. The situation has somewhat changed as I have attempted to reinstall Arch PPC on the eMac since then. Now I am immediately taken to the second-stage yaboot screen at boot and I have no access to OpenFirmware. When I use the Live CD to mount the / and /home partitions of /dev/hda, all I see in / is /home and /lost+found, while in /home all I see is /lost+found. It appears that Arch PPC never actually installed, and I have no idea why. I guess the files in /mnt were never copied to /. I'm so confused by all this, but I really desire to understand what is happening and how I can get this computer up and running. If you have any thoughts at all, please don't hesitate to share. I'm completely willing to do some reading, but I have not seen reports of a similar situation yet.
By the way, my eMac is 32-bit.
Thanks,
bkadoctaj
EDIT: I'm not sure how I can get a log for any of this, especially since it appears the install never completed, even though nothing during the install process suggested that was the case.
EDIT 2: Forget this thread... The discussion has been continued over at http://groups.google.com/group/archlinu … f4b89ad2ad
Thank you for the assistance.

i am facing a problem to connect forms6i with oracle 10.2 g. i already make a entry in TNSNAMES.ora file in forms folder.
while i am trying to connect it dispaly "ORA-12203: TNS:unable to conect to destination" error.
please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
i already make a entry in TNSNAMES.ora Another option...
1. Pls Verify that the net service name you entered was correct including no spaces.
2.Verify that the ADDRESS portion of the connect descriptor which corresponds to the net service name is correct.
3.Ensure that the destination process (for example the listener) is running at the remote node and the cabel of ur local net work connecting to ur server is well connected and working well.
4. Test ur local network cabel and try to make the connection to another computer set.
5.u can check from Start > control panel > administrative tools > services that the service name is started or not if it is Started Restarted or refresh it.
6. Ensure that the listener is running at the remote node and that the ADDRESS parameters specified in TNSNAMES.ORA are correct.
and the more ....
Hope this helps...

Problem with Santa Rosa MBP-Unable to Boot

I have a Santa Rosa MBP with the maximum of 4GB of memory.
About 4 months ago I was unable to boot it because there was no video at all. The Genius Bar stated it was a problem with the video in the hardware and kept it for about a week to install a new Logic Board.
I got it back but within a couple days began having new problems. The Wi-Fi would connect but there was no internet on safari, mail, etc. i went to the Apple store again and the Genius Bar was unable to fix it and said it was a problem deep inside the OS. What I did since I had already bought Snow Leopard I did an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it solved the problem.
It has worked well the last 3 months or so when my MBP started slowing down. It would sometimes take 10 minutes just to get from the login screen after typing in my password to my desktop where I can use it. Programs would open slow, close slow. My dashboard opens but I can't do anything with it. It has only gotten worse with time and now the computer won't even boot. It gets to the grey Apple with the progress indicator and stays there with the fan running but never goes further.
Fortunately I had done a mirrored backup from Super Duper. I had begun to think it was a hard drive problem. I tried booting from this backup that was made before the problem got very bad and it also runs the same way. I then took this backup to another MBP I have and it worked perfectly. I don't think it's a hard drive problem now. I then thought it may be a memory problem. I used the DVD that came with the MBP to do a hardware test which passed.
I think I have no choice but to go back to the Genius Bar. The problem is with purchasing the additional AppleCare my AppleCare just expired about 3 weeks ago. Yet I know this logic board was put in around 4 months ago and if I'm correct when something like that is done it's often a refurbished board, not new. Either way I had the issue with Wi-Fi just after the replacement and I went back to Apple for it. I think it was related and now this problem. I don't want to have to buy a new MBP but yet I'm convinced all these problems started with the logic board replacement.
Do any of you have other ideas of what the problem could be? Is it possible something I could fix? I have tried a PRAM reset with no luck. Would Apple cover something like this?
Thank you for your help.

Hi Gregor. The text of the Oracle message ORA-01659 is as follows. As you can see it recommends adding a data file first.
01659, 00000, "unable to allocate MINEXTENTS beyond %s in tablespace %s"
// *Cause: Failed to find sufficient contiguous space to allocate MINEXTENTS
//          for the segment being created.
// *Action: Use ALTER TABLESPACE ADD DATAFILE to add additional space to the
//          tablespace or retry with smaller value for MINEXTENTS, NEXT or
//          PCTINCREASE
The syntax for adding a datafile would be
alter tablespace PSAPIDS add datafile '/your/path/psapids99.dbf' size 100m;
