Unable to Initialize Volume Manager from a Configuration File

I'd like to reattach a D1000 to a rebuilt system. The array contains a raid 5 partition that was built with Solaris Volume Manager (Solaris 9). Since it is the same system all controller/target/slice ids have not changed. I was able to restore the Volume Manager configuration files (/etc/lvm) from a tape backup and followed the instructions provided in the Solaris Volume Manager Administration Guide: How to Initialize Solaris Volume Manager from a Configuration File <http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-4519/6manoju60?a=view>.
All of the state database replicas for this partition are contained on the disks within the array so I began by creating new database replicas on a local disk.
I then copied the /etc/md.cf file to /etc/md.tab
# more /etc/lvm/md.tab
# metadevice configuration file
# do not hand edit
d0 -r c1t10d0s0 c1t11d0s0 c1t12d0s0 c1t8d0s0 c1t9d0s0 c2t10d0s0 c2t11d0s0 c2t12d0s0 c2t8d0s0 c2t9d0s0 -k -i 32b -h hsp000
hsp000 c1t13d0s0 c2t13d0s0
I then tested the syntax of the md.tab file (this output is actually from my secomd attempt).
# /sbin/metainit -n -a
d0: RAID is setup
metainit: <hostname>: /etc/lvm/md.tab line 4: hsp000: hotspare pool is already setup
Not seeing any problems I then attempted to recreate the d0 volume, but it fails with the error below:
# /sbin/metainit -a
metainit: <hostname>: /etc/lvm/md.tab line 3: d0: devices were not RAIDed previously or are specified in the wrong order
metainit: <hostname>: /etc/lvm/md.tab line 4: hsp000: hotspare pool is already setup
Any suggestions on how to reinitialize this volume would be appreciated.
Thanks, Doug

You have UserPrincipalName column heading in the csv file so this should be your cmdlet.
import-csv C:\temp\sharedMailboxCreationTest.csv | ForEach-Object {New-Mailbox -shared -Name $_.Name -Alias $_.Alias -OrganizationalUnit $_.OrganizationalUnit -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -Database $_.Database}

Unable to initialize session manager

Hi, We are on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS and we are using SDK to open reports. We ran 1200 users performance testing and we got just 15 failures with the message.
Error in RetrieveReport Internal Error:Unable to Initialize session manager
When I open CCM using Program filesetc then I use to get same error message :"Unable to Initialize session manager". When I search for the ccm shortcut and launch that then it works fine. Now its totally missing from Program Files>> Business Objects options.
Any idea what is the cause? Not sure if this error is related.

This could be because previously only 512 MB was assigned to each sessions. We increased this to 1024 and we are not seeing this error message. There is a registry entry "WINDOWS" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems.
In WINDOWS Key the value is "WIndows Shared Section=1024,3072,512" We made it to "WIndows Shared Section=1024,3072,1024"
Thanks,

Unable to initialize Node Manager on Weblogic 11g (10.3.5) Linux env..

Hello,
I worked earlier on Weblogic 8.1 and after a long gap I am coming back to Weblogic Server.
And I tried to install & setup Weblogic Server 11g R1 (10.3.5). I successfully installed WL 11g on a Linux machine, configured the domain, and admin server without any problem. I created a managed server on the Console and tried to initialize the node manager to be able to start the managed server. I am getting the following error message repeatedly. And I did not select SSL connection, while setting up the environment.
Can someone help me resolve this issue?

Can you see what listen address you have given to Node Manager in console or in config.xml?
<machine xsi:type="unix-machineType">
<name>Servername</name>
<node-manager>
<name>Servername</name>
<listen-address>localhost</listen-address>
</node-manager>
</machine>
Another way to start Managed server is to use startManaged.sh script.

Converting data volume type from LINK to FILE on a Linux OS

Dear experts,
I am currently running MaxDB 7.7.04.29 on Red Hat Linux 5.1. The file types for the data volumes were
initially configured as type LINK and correspondingly made links at the OS level via "ln -s" command.
Now (at the OS level) we have replaced the link with the actual file and brought up MaxDB. The system
comes up fine without problems but I have a two part question:
1) What are the ramifications if MaxDB thinks the data volumes are links when in reality they are files.
(might we encounter a performance problem).
2) In MaxDB, what is the best way to convert a data volume from type LINK to type FILE?
Your feedback is greatly appreciated.
--Erick

> 1) What are the ramifications if MaxDB thinks the data volumes are links when in reality they are files.
> (might we encounter a performance problem).
Never saw any problems, but since I don't have a linux system at hand I cannot tell you for sure.
Maybe it's about how to open a file with special options like DirectIO if it's a link...
> 2) In MaxDB, what is the best way to convert a data volume from type LINK to type FILE?
There's no 'converting'.
Shutdown the database to offline.
Now logon to dbmcli and list all parameters there are.
You'll get three to four parameters per data volume, one of them called
DATA_VOLUME_TYPE_0001
where 0001 is the number of the volume.
open a parameter session and change the value for the parameters from 'L' to 'F':
param_startsession
param_put DATA_VOLUME_TYPE_0001 F
param_put DATA_VOLUME_TYPE_0002 F
param_put DATA_VOLUME_TYPE_0003 F
param_checkall
param_commitsession
After that the volumes are recognizes as files.
regards,
Lars

Setting default values from a configuration file...how_to

Hi,
When we place controls in the front panel VI, there are default values
that we can set during design time. Is it possible to load up a VI and
read those default values from a file? I guess the point is that I want
to be able to store different control settings for different users with
one VI. Maybe possibly use the File I/O VI's to load up default control
values that way. Is it possible?
Thanks,
Steven

After trying many various ways of storing configuration data, the way I use
the most is to set up a "configuration global", a global that consists of
basically a single cluster into which I place anything about the application
that I want to configure and store. I usually include the application's path,
DASQ settings, a
nd user preferences. You can then read/write this cluster
anytime during your test session. You can provide user access to specific
portions of the global through a tabbed dialog box and allow multiple records
in your config file which can be accessed at any time.

Attempting to Boot From, no configuration file found

I started digging out some of these older desktops and the first one has me stumped.
HP d3225 Minitower XP Pro
When I insert usb I get this message: No default or usb configuration directory found. Can someone advise please?
Thanks in advance!!

Does this happen only when the USB devices are inserted and is the PC booted or are you trying to boot from USB?

Unable to select individual frames from entire mov file in iMovie

I am trying to edit one long clip in iMovie from an iPhoto .mov file downloaded from a FlipCam. When I select the project from the library in iMovie, I cannot isolate frames to trim. The entire clip is repeatedly highlighted no matter what I do. I use a macbook pro. I have tried importing the file from both iPhoto and from a copy downloaded directly from the FlipCam to my desktop. I've tried some keyboard shortcuts but nothing seems to work. All frames in the file are highlighted. What am I doing wrong? I need to split this one long clip into several shorter ones for our company website and also trim some unwanted frames out.

FrameGrabbingControl allows you to grab a frame. but you cant directly write from that frame. Do i have to create a dataSink.
Actually i tried to do one thing that is, I used the cut program. But from that i can not repeatedly take out frame as media data.

PLEASE HELP - Unable to restore all messages from my backup file (.bbb) - 21800 messages and I need them all

Hi.
This is not the first time I encountered this issue. The backup file itself is 18.5MB in size. The critical stuff is my 21800 messages (emails for 7 different email accounts). Whenever I do a restore, the DM only reads 13859 messages and unfortunately not in reverse order. So I end up with no emails for the last 7 months! BIG PROBLEM for me! I have done a selective restore. I have done a complete wipe and then a full restore (no success), then deleted all data and tried a selective restore and only selected the messages (still only around 13,500 messages).
There appears to be a limitation around the 13500 mark for messages.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help.

It's been a while since I used Apple's Backup, but you should be able to select "Restore" from within the app to find an iCal backup file. When you find your most recent backup file restore it to your main computer. An iCal backup should look like this: "iCal - 10/31/06.icbu". Once you have the file you can just double click on it and iCal will open and give a warning about overwriting your current database file. You can just select "Revert" to overwrite the current file since you have nothing in it now. Everything should then go back to the state it was in since your last backup. You might lose some of your most recent entries if they were not in the backup, but you should get back most of what you lost. Good Luck!!

Unable to create shared mailboxes from a csv file

Hi,
I have a list of 130 shared mailboxes that I must create. So I created a CSV file like this:
Name,Alias,OrganizationalUnit,Database,UserPrincipalName
John Smith,jsmith,domain.com/accounts/shared,mailbox database A,[email protected]
Mark Flone,mflone,domain.com/accounts/shared,mailbox database A,[email protected]
ETC.....
The list is ready and it is saved.
import-csv C:\path | New-mailbox -Shared
the Error is the following:
"Cannot bind parameter 'Name' to the target. Exception setting "Name": "The property can't be empty."
I went into my spreadsheet and Trimmed everything, then saved and still the same error result.
Then I tried the following:
import-csv C:\temp\sharedMailboxCreationTest.csv | ForEach-Object {New-Mailbox -shared -Name $_.Name -Alias $_.Alias -OrganizationalUnit $_.OrganizationalUnit -UserPrincipalName $_.UPN -Database $_.Database}
The Error:
"Cannot bind argument to parameter 'UserPrincipalName' because it is an empty string."
What am I missing here?
Alexis

You have UserPrincipalName column heading in the csv file so this should be your cmdlet.
import-csv C:\temp\sharedMailboxCreationTest.csv | ForEach-Object {New-Mailbox -shared -Name $_.Name -Alias $_.Alias -OrganizationalUnit $_.OrganizationalUnit -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -Database $_.Database}

Unable to copy/cut/paste from within custom file naming dialogue (in exporting images)

When I go into the export dialogue and select a portion of a file naming scheme, I cannot get it into the clipboard. I had wanted to cut a portion of the specification, export with an amended name, and then paste the original back. I am running the beta in Win7 64-bit.

Advice:
1) Check Copy in sand-boxed app. in 1.6.0_24+.
2) Do not hi-jack the threads of other people. Start a new thread and if you think another thread relates to your problem, link to it.

Creating threads based on information read from a configuration file

Hi. I'm writing a program where I need to use threading. I've done some threading in my past, but I'm no expert. What I need to do is create a number of threads dependant on how many are requested
So I have a conf file where:
SomeValue = String1, String2, String3, String4
I read those values and right now I stick them in an Array. So in this case I have four slots in the array filled.
How can I declare a simple unique thread for each of them?
I've searched the forums and found a few references to this, but I'm not able to make it work. I'm still googling for answers now. If anyone understands what I'm attempting and can help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the reply. I'm looking at the tutorials, but I'm having some trouble understanding. It's been quite a while since I played with threads and I can't find the code I did them in to refresh my memory. I have a small application in one class with several funtions like:
public class MyProgram {
     public void funtion1() {
          does something
     public void function2() {
          does something
     public MyProgram(String args[])     {
          calls functions;
     public static void main(String[] arguments)
        MyProgram instance = new MyProgram(arguments);
    } Where do I implement runnable in a case like this?
Do I get rid of public static void main somehow?
Does MyRunnable need to be a seperate class?
Back to the tutorials....
Thanks,
James

Sun Cluster 3.0 Veritas Volume manager add a new file system

Hello people recently in need add a new file system to my Solaris cluster installation ( with oracle 8), but I have some dudes about the correct procedure for this.
I put the procedure:
Ok:
/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c4t1d1
/usr/sbin/vxdg -g space-dg adddisk space07= c4t1d1s2
/etc/vx/bin/vxdisksetup -i c4t1d2
/usr/sbin/vxdg -g space-dg adddisk space08= c4t1d2s2
/usr/sbin/vxassist -g space-dg make vol3-space 70686720 layout=striped stripeunit=128 alloc="space07 space08"
mkfs -F vxfs /dev/vx/rdsk/space-dg/vol3-space
In this point I update my dginfo in the active node of my cluster
scconf -c -D name=space-dg,sync
Add in all node /etc/vfstab)
/dev/vx/dsk/space-dg/vol3-space /dev/vx/rdsk/space-dg/vol3-space /space_mount/vol3-space vxfs 2 no -
Made the mount point in all nodes:
mkfs /space_mount/vol3-space
mount the file system in active node.
mount /space_mount/vol3-space
use sccheck.
My dude is about is about Storage plus resource (space-grp:space-storageplus-res:FilesystemMountPoints) because this don�t have the new mount poing, if I must put the new mount point in this property using: scrgadm because my cluster has HAStorage-plus.
What is the optimal form? If I must use scrgadm I can modify this property (FilesystemMountPoints) with
(scrgadm -x FilesystemMountPoints =value) ??
Or must recreate space-storageplus-res????
Thanks for you time and sorry for my English.

Thanks I made sucessuly.
The final procedure:
1 create the disks in vertias (not the volumen)
2 if you add new disk, recreate the did
scdidadm -L
scdidadm -r (must exec in all nodes)
scgdevs (in all nodes)
3 Disable the resouces using scswitch -n -j (the resouce)
in my case we disable all resouce but NOT the resouce group. (only exec in one node)
Make the new file system. :-D. makefs. (in one node)
4 make the new pount mount in all nodes.
5 insert the new line in vfstab (remenber the mount at boot to set to no)
scrgadm -pvv | grep "FilesystemMounPoints="
6 You must put the "FilesystemMounPoints=" in same orden in vfstab
I use the sunplex (more easy) ..
Renable to online your resources.
Test to switch over to another node.
The new filesystem may be automaticaly mounted.
Bye an thanks for the help

Messaging 3.x fails to start with "Unable to initialize" error

Messaging Server fails to start from the Admin Server or by using the "start" command.

# /etc/NscpMail start
Startup Problem:
Unable to initialize the environment from (/etc/netscape.mail.conf)
Netscape Messaging Server Exiting!

The Messaging Server log file will not show any entries.

The problem is most likely due to a missing dbswtich.conf
file or a zero byte file.

The default dbswitch.conf
file contains a single line:

directory default ldapdb:///usr/netscape/suitespot/userdb/ldap/config/lcache.conf/

Restore this file from a backup if possible.

Unlike Admin Server, Messaging Server will require the correct file to be
restored because it immediately looks for its postmaster entries in the LDAP
directory. If you cannot restore the file:
<OL>
<LI>Place a temporary entry into the
file.
<LI>Start the admin server.
<LI>Enter the correct values into Global Settings,
Configure Directory Service.
<LI>Attempt to start the Messaging Server again.
</OL>

Tracing utilities (e.g. truss in Solaris) can
help analyze problems where servers fail to start and return little or no
useful errors.

truss -f -o <trussfile> /etc/NscpMail start

grep dbswitch.conf <trussfile>.

This would usually show admin returning a ENOENT error or reading zero bytes of
data.

I assume when you say "mentioned solutions", those include:
- Generating xorg.conf with aticonfig --initial
- Blacklisting the radeon module
- Generating the fresh fglrx modules with catalyst_build_module all
Also, how've you set it up? AUR, graysky's repository or directly from AMD's website?

Volume Manager RAID-1 maintance procedures for X2100

Hi all,
we are using the new Sun Fire X2100 with Solaris 10 and a Volume Manager RAID-1 configuration.
Configuring Mirroring with Volume Manager isn't complicated at all (apart from some tricks necessary on x86 systems).
Does anybody know how to properly handle maintenance situations. We would like to replace a faulty disk without a need for restarting the system, switching it off or changing to single user mode. Cause the X2100's two drives are hot swappable, in principle, this should be possible, isn't it?
Thanks in advance
