thanks for your prompt response.
I am aware of that we can't use any free spaces where the VM is installed.Hence the additional storage added to the server.
1. Install VM Server on 80GB HD ( /dev/sdb)
2. Later, i added 500GB to the storage ( no installation - just the disk ) ( /dev/sda)
Same configuration worked fine in 3.0, now i am not able to identified the additional disk which was added later with 3.2.1.

Scripting the Removal of Physical disk from VM

Hi all
I have read this thread here which has helped me so far to create a script for the removal of a VM Hard Disk Drive
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/7f00687c-aa8b-4125-a10c-2730ee473e78/auto-add-remove-physical-disk-from-hyperv-vms?forum=winserverhyperv
So far the script I have knocked up is as follows:
Remove
PS C:\Users\Administrator> remove-vmhardDiskDrive -VMName 2012r2 -ControllerType SCSI -ControllerNumber 0 -ControllerLocation 0
Re-add
PS C:\Users\Administrator> add-vmhardDiskDrive -VMName 2012r2 -ControllerType SCSI -ControllerNumber 0 -ControllerLocation 0
This gets me this in the Hyper-V settings:
I need the script to add the VM Hard Disk drive in with the physical hard disk selected automatically.
Is there a way to do this?
As you can see I am not a powershell expert, im not even an "expert"
Thanks - Dan

All done
The script I used for the removal and then re-adding of the physical disk is as follows:
remove-vmhardDiskDrive-VMName2012r2-ControllerTypeSCSI-ControllerNumber0-ControllerLocation0
Add-VMHardDiskDrive-VMName2012R2-ControllerTypeSCSI-ControllerNumber0-DiskNumber1-Passthru
I then automated it with task scheduler to trigger at 6pm everyday (30 minutes after rotation time)
The ISCSI controller type allows you to run the command whilst the VM is on.

MDT 2012 - Failure 5456: Unable to determine Destination Disk....

Hi,
I get the following error when deploying windows 7 image to HP z420 workstation:
Failure 5456: Unable to determine destination disk, partition, and/or drive. See BDD.LOG
LiteTouch deployment failed, return code = -2147467259 0x80004005
Failed to run the action: inject drivers
When I deploy this same image with exact same settings to virtual machine or HP Elitebook laptop everything works fine. I have imported all z420 drivers to MDT too.
Any ideas?

Problem solved.
Solution:
“FAILURE (5456): Unable to determine Destination Disk, Partition, and/or Drive. See BDD.LOG for more information.”
I was only getting this message using MDT2012, not MDT2010. After digging around I noticed a modified setting — that I did not modify. Not sure why this happened.
Look inside the task sequence, under “Install Operating System”. While my other task sequences are set to “Specific Disk and Partition” this one was set to “Logical drive letter stored in a variable”. When I changed it, the error went away immediately.

Storage Spaces - Remove Physical Disk from Simple layout

I am running Server 2012 RTM with a single storage pool containing 4 drives - 2.73TB, 1.36TB, 465GB and 148GB. There is a single virtual disk created, with thin provisioning, using the Simple layout, with a current maximum size of 2.73TB, and with 1.32TB
allocated. I want to remove the 148GB drive and replace it with a 465GB drive. When I right-click the 148GB disk and select Remove, I get a warning that Windows will attempt to rebuild any virtual disks that store data on the disk I'm trying to remove, and
that in order to succeed, the storage pool must have enough free space to accommodate the data from the disk I'm trying to remove. There is more than enough space in the virtual disk to accommodate whatever files may be stored on the 148GB disk - over 1TB
unallocated. However, when I confirm that I want to remove the disk from the pool, I get the following message:
This physical disk is used by one or more virtual disks that use the Simple (no resiliency) layout. To remove this physical disk, delete the following virtual disks: Simple
Surely the fact that it's a simple volume (rather than mirrored/parity) shouldn't affect the ability to move the data off the disk? It appears that disk removal is implemented as a simulated drive failure, forcing a rebuild of the resiliency data, rather
than by simply moving the data off the disk onto other available disks.
Additionally, after I've attempted to remove the disk, it's now been marked as 'Retired'.
Is there any simple way to remove this disk?

Same problem here, but I have some workaround for the problem.
But, even in Windows Home Server with its awesome disk extender (predecessor of Storage Spaces) you had to take the shares (meaning volumes in our case) offline so you could take out the disk from the pool.
Agree that it would make more sense to be able to remove disk from the pool online and the technology is most likely is already there: online cluster moves with defragmentation API was there for years and ReFS moves clusters online when it detects disk errors.
Anyway here is the process that may work for you if taking volume offline is an option in your case:
Try to remove physical disk in Server Manager - it will fail with abovementioned error, but the disk will go into "Retired" state.
Now provision a new Virtual Disk and a volume of your choice. Most likely you will pick the same disk and volume type as you already had, but this is the chance to change the topology. You should be able to do this since you have a lot of physical disk
space, especially if you used Thin provisioning.
It looks like at this point retired physical disk is not included into the new Virtual Disk provisioning, but it is still accessible via existing virtual disk.
Copy over all files from your old volume to a new volume.
Now delete old Virtual Disk.
If you want - change disk name and volume letter of new virtual disk that you created and new volume to what you had before.
Now in Disk Manager take failing physical disk offline.
Replace failing disk, initialize new disk and add it to the pool.
Note: for me sometimes removing disk in via Storage Pool management GUI does not mark it as "Retired". In this case you can open PowerShell as Admin and assuming you want to remove PhysicalDisk2 - run the following command:
Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName PhysicalDisk2 -Usage Retired

XML Report completes with error due to REP-271504897: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

We are in the middle of testing our R12 Upgrade. I am getting this error from the invoice XML-based report that we are using in R12. (based on log). Only for a specific invoice number that this error is appearing. The trace is not showing me anything. I don't know how to proceed on how to debug where the error is coming from and how to fix this. I found a patch 8339196 that shows exactly the same error number but however, I have to reproduce the error in another test instance before we apply the patch. I created exactly the same order and interface to AR and it doesnt generate an error. I even copied the order and interface to AR and it doesn't complete with error. It is only for this particular invoice that is having an issue and I need to get the root cause as to why. Please help. I appreciate what you all can contribute to identify and fix our issue. We have not faced this issue in R11i that we are maintaining right now for the same program which has been running for sometime. However, after the upgrade for this particular data that the user has created, it is throwing this error REP-271504897.

REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file;

Hi,
I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
OPP log for the same gives an output as under:

Problem Description
When running a *.REP generated report file you get errors:
REP-00002 Unable to retrieve string from message file
REP-01439 Cannot compile program since this is a runtime report
Running the same report using the *.RDF file is successful.
You are running the report with a stored procedure,
OR you are running against an Oracle instance other than the one developed on,
Or, you recently upgraded your Oracle Server.
Solution Description
1) Check that the user running the report has execute permissions on any stored
SQL procedures called. <Note:1049458.6>
2) Run the report as an .RDF not an .REP , that is remove or rename the .REP

Desinger Workflow 2010: Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator?

Hello,
I am facing a problem from last some days..
When I am trying to open/create/update workflows from Designer 2010, then designer giving me an error "Unable to load workflow actions from the server. Please contact your server administrator".
I researched on internet for this error and found some possible reason like
Login user Permission issue
Error in custom actions
So that I checked for permission for login user, but it has administrator rights. and I tried to open workflow by removing custom activity code, but still exist.
also if I tried to create/update workflow for another site on same server then it works without any problem.
Can anybody please help me?
Many thanks,

Always want to keep the boot drive with more free space than may seem necessary for performance and to function at its best, 30-40% free or even 50% is not excessive.
Ideal is to separate your system from your data.
You should always have bootable backup / clone of your system
Don't use a green drive for system or data though.
When you are done cloning system and/or data, remove the old original and keep as backup.
Then move the system drive to #1 - no matter what you want to reset the default boot volume to where the system is.

how can i view nikon images in photoshop? i have cs4 so the camera raw plug-in is not an option and i've lost my disk from the initial purchase of the D90.

The NEF file only gives a little "nef" icon. i was able to convert the NEF to DNG on the old computer and then brought the files over to the new computer. On the old computer, the NEF files were depicted as little jpeg's so I would be able to see a picture of what each file represented. On the new computer, both the NEF files and the DNG files are depicted with icons, "nef" or "dng", but not as little pictures. On the new computer, though, I am to import the DNG's into Adobe and edit them so that is working regardless of whether or not a picture is present for the icon of each file. I've downloaded the DNG converter from Adobe and will try the conversion directly on the new computer when I get home from work. I do appreciate your responses and will let you know how it works.
I am curious then, since right now the files are represented by little "nef"'s and little "dng"'s: If I also download the viewNX (spelling might be wrong, sorry) from nikon, do you know if that maintains the file as a RAW format file but allows a picture representation of the RAW file for the icon? (That would make it easier to choose which RAW files I would choose to edit and which to not even bother with as an initial culling if that makes sense.
Cheers.

Conflict Resolver Sync Error - Unable to retrieve conflict information from the sync server

So I have been using iTunes with my iPhone 3GS and now my iPhone 4 to sync with my Outlook for many years now and it has been flawless.
I recently bought a new iPad and started syncing it as well.
Now as of late, after every 2 or 3 syncs, I get an error from iTunes displaying the Conflict Resolver and it says there are 42 sync conflicts.
When I try use the Review Now button it shows up and the issues are between my iPhone and Outlook and are only related to contacts.
As soon as I try to choose which record to resolve, the window immediately disappears without giving me a chance to finish and I get another dialog window with the error:
Unable to retrieve conflict information from the sync server.
Please try again the next time the conflict resolver window is presented.
When I try to sync again it seems to be fine. But then after I sync my iPad and theny iPhone again it shows up and it still won't let me resolve the conflicts.
I have tried the following:
1) Rest Sync History on all devices
2) I have had iTunes replace all the contacts on the iPad from iTunes
3) I have changed the conflict resolver to only notify when 50% of the data will be changed
I have had no such luck.
If I add a contact to Outlook or to my iPhone and then sync it seems to be syncing the new addtions correctly. However, I cannot get this issue with this 42 conflicts resolved for some reason. This has been going on for a month now.

Here is the solution.
Rationale: You want to be able to have the dates on your items (notes, contacts) on your iphone to be the same as on outlook. This will eliminate any sync conflicts. You will also notice that if you modify something on the iphone and sync, you will lose the modification you made.
Steps:
1) In outlook, export the data (contacts, notes) to a CSV file
2) Delete you notes/contacts in outlook
3) Sync your iphone and select replace information on this iPhone (in iTunes)
4) Now your contacts and notes will be empty on both your iPhone and Outlook
5) Now import your contacts and notes from the CSV files back into outlook. What this does is put the current date and time on every individual item
6) Sync your iPhone to iTunes normally
7) everything will work correctly now with no sync issues and no conflicts.

I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

I am unable to transfer song bought from the itunes store to my ipod- can anyone please assist?

What happens when you try?
If the song is an older purchase (from more than a few years ago), it may have DRM (copy protection). You can check by selecting the song on a list in iTunes, and doing a Get Info (right click - Get Into). On the Info window Summary tab, if Kind is Protected AAC audio file, it has DRM. Also note what it says there for Apple ID. You need to authorize the computer you use with the iPod to play content purchased with that Apple ID.
From the iTunes menu bar, under Store, select Authorize This Computer. Enter the Apple ID (and password) used to purchase the song. One computer can be authorize for multiple Apple IDs.
NOTE: More recent iTunes Store song purchases do not use DRM, although other type of media (such as TV shows and movies) still do.
If that's not the cause of your problem, please post back with more details...

Unable to browse OPC Server from the selected machine / Error -2147221163 occurred at GetOPCServerList.vi

Hallo,
I just installed LabVIEW 8.2 DSC-Module and tried to configure a OPC Client Instance. I get the Error "Unable to browse OPC Server from the selected machine / Error -2147221163 occurred at GetOPCServerList.vi". I have no OPC-Server installed, but is there no Demo-Server?
Thank you
Thomas

This issue might be related to opcenum not being registered correctly. Please follow the steps explained in this document to fix this problem.
As OPCdemo follows the OPC 1.0 standard it is not supported by the OPC client in LV DSC 8.x which supports OPC 2.0 and 3.0 servers. You can download an OPC 3.0 compliant demoserver from Matrikon.
I hope that helps,

Migration Assistant doesn't see the startup disk from the old G4

Hi,
I just got my new iMac and was about to transfer stuff from my old G4 which have two internal disks. But I stumbled into serius problems right away. Migration Assistant is not able to see the startup disk from the G4. It sees only the other disk.
I have tried to disconnect the extra disk and checked that the startup disk is forced with the jumper to be the master disk. With this configuration it won't start the G4 at all. Having he jumper in the cable select slot results to shut-up with the T-button (firewire) startup and normal startup without the T-way.
What should I do? I can't figure out what the problem is.
I enclose some System Profiler data of the problematic disk if this helps to find the solution.
Model: MAXTOR 6L060J3
BSD Name: disk0
Protocol: ATA
Unit Number: 1
OS9 Drivers: Yes
S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified
File System: Journaled HFS+
BSD NAme: disk0s10

Ok. This is really simple to do.
The idea of the dual drive iMac is that the System and Apps reside on the fast SSD and that the user directories reside on the HD.
You first need to create the same accounts on your SSD as on your old iMac.
The next step is to change the path of the user accounts from the SSD to the internal HD. Duplicate or copy the Users directories on the SSD to the HD.
Change the path in System Preferences > User & Groups > Unlock to make changes > Select User account in sidebar > Right-click > Choose Advanced Options > Home Directory > Choose the Volumes/your_hd/Users/user_name.
Restart your iMac and restore from Migration Assistant.
Remember to keep the empty directories on the SSD, in case you ever have a HD failure or replacement, you will have to change the path back to the SSD.
