Unix layout question single vs. multiple logical volumes

Hello friends,
I have a question which I have seen various points of view. I'm hoping you might be able to give me a better insight so I can either confirm my own sanity, or accept a new paradigm shift in laying out the file system for best performance.
Here are the givens:
Unix systems (AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, and/or Linux).
Hardware RAID system on large SAN (in this case, RAID-05 striped over more than 100 physical disks).
(We are using AIX 6.1 with CIO turned on for the database files).
Each Physical Volume is literally striped over at least physical 100 disks (spindles).
Each Logical Volume is also striped over at least 100 spindles (all the same spindles for each lvol).
Oracle software binaries are on their own separate physical volume.
Oracle backups, exports, flash-back-query, etc., are on their own separate physical volume.
Oracle database files, including all tablespaces, redo logs, undo ts, temp ts, and control files are in their own separate physical volume (that is made up of logical volumes that are each striped over at least 100 physical disks (spindles).
The question is if it makes any sense (and WHY) to break up the physical volume that is used for the Oracle database files themselves, into multiple logical volumes? At what point does it make sense to create individual logical volumes for each datafile, or type, or put them all in a single logical volume?
Does this do anything at all for performance? If the volumes are logical, then what difference would it to put them into individual logical volumes that are striped across the same one-hundred (+) disks?
Basically ALL database files are in a single physical volume (LUN), but does it help (and WHY) to break up the physical volume into several logical volumes for placing each of the individual data files (e.g., separating system ts, from sysaux, from temp, from undo, from data, from indexes, etc.) if the physical volume is created on a RAID-5 (or RAID-10) disk array on a SAN that literally spans across hundreds of high-speed disks?
If this does makes sense, why?
From a physical standpoint, there are only 4 hardware paths for each LUN, so what difference does it make to create multiple 'logical' volumes for each datafile, or for separating types of data files?
From an I/O standpoint, the multi-threading of the operating system should only be able to use the number of pathways that are capable based on the various operating system options (e.g., multicore CPUs using SMT (simultaneous multipath threading). But I believe they are still based on physical paths, not based on logical volumes.
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply damorgan.
We have dual HBAs in our servers as standard equipment, along with dual controllers.
I totally agree with the idea of getting rid of RAID-5, but that is not my choice.
We have a very large (massive) data center and the decision to use RAID-5 was at the discretion of our unix team some time ago. Their idea is one-size-fits-all. When I questioned it, I was balked at. After all, what do I know? I've only been a sys admin for 10 years (but on HP-UX and Solaris, not on AIX), and I've only been an Oracle DBA for nearly 20 years.
For whatever it is worth, they also mirror their RAID-5, so in essence, it is a RAID 5-1-0 (RAID-50).
Anyway, as for the hardware paths, from my understanding, there are only 4 physical hardware paths going from the servers to the switches, to the SAN and back. Their claim (the unix team's) is that by using multiple logical volumes within a single physical volume, that it increases the number of 'threads' to pull data from the stripe. This is the part I don't understand and may be specific to AIX.
So if each logical volume is a stripe within a physical volume, and each physical volume is striped across more than one hundred disks, I still don't understand how multiple logical volumes can increase I/O through-put. From my understanding, if we only have four paths, and there are 100+ spindles, even if it did increase I/O somehow by the way AIX uses multipathing (SMT) with its CPUs, how can it have any affect on the I/O. And if it did, it would still have to be negligible.
Two years ago, I've personally set up three LUNs on a pair of Sun V480s (RAC'd) connected to a Sun Storage 3510 SAN. One LUN for Oracle binaries, one for database datafiles, and one for backups and archivelogs), and then put all my datafiles in a single logical volume on one LUN, and had fantastic performance for a very intense database that literally had 12,000 to 16,000 simultaneous active* connections using Webshere connection pools. While that was a Sun system, and now I'm dealing with an AIX P6 570 system, I can't imagine the concepts being that much different, especially when the servers are basically comparable.
Any comments or feedback appreciated.

Basic Tagging Question, Single Album, Multiple CDs

Sorry for what perhaps is a really basic question, but only realy thought about it after upgrading to iTune7!
I have albums, Elton John for example, which is a Greatest Hits album, and there are 3 CD's
I origionally had each Cd called 'Greatest Hits - CD1; Greatest Hits CD2' etc.
With the cover flow thing this is giving me 3 covers for he same album (not ideal!)
I have just started to look through, and i have changed each CD's info (in the tags) to use the 'Disk 1 of 3' for CD1, and 'Disk 2 of 3' for CD2 etc. Then i change the actual album name for all the disks to read Greatest Hits
This works, so now using coverflow, i can see the album with a single cover, but how do i go directly to the 2nd or 3rd disk? Have i got to peak in the actual track listing to pick up disk 2
Also, when everything is synced onto my iPod (havent got it with me at present) how will i easily access the 2nd or 3rd disk from the album?
Again, sorry if this is trivial, but i would love to hear about how other people organise their library, and navigate, having multiple CD albums
Also, is there a quide on setting up the tagging info which may be of some help to me?
Thanks

Multiple edition magazine layout question

Magazine(s) layout question
Details:
- There are 9 total magazines. The only thing that changes are the ads.
- I have all text set up in Master Pages and the Different publications set up as 'versions' in my file.
My issue:
I also need to ad a footer master (with page number, Publication name, and Date)
- Publication name changes for each version.
In the end I need one master with all magazine text assigned to all version. And a different footer master with page numbers to all versions....
any suggestions on how to complete this?

Either you can use Alternative Layouts in one document, you will need only to work on the first layout, the text in the outher layouts or you can the Content-Tools and Create LInk option to take the original and place it into the new document. Later you have only to update the links in the link panel. You can take by option the whole page with all elements.

10g ASM on Logical Volumes vs. Raw devices and SAN Virtualization

We are looking at setting up our standards for Oracle 10g non-rac systems. We are looking at the value of Oracle ASM in our environment.
As per the official Oracle documentation, raw devices are preferred to using Logical Volumes when using ASM.
From here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b15658/appa_aix.htm#sthr
ef723
"Note: Do not add logical volumes to Automatic Storage Management disk groups. Automatic Storage Management works best when you add raw disk devices to disk groups. If you are using Automatic Storage Management, then do not use LVM for striping. Automatic Storage Management implements striping and mirroring."
Also, as per Metalink note 452924.1:
"10) Avoid using a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) because an LVM would be redundant."
The issue is: if we use raw disk devices presented to ASM, the disks don't show up as used in the unix/AIX system tools (i.e. smit, lspv, etc.). Hence, when looking for raw devices on the system to add to filesystems/volume groups/etc., it's highly possible that a UNIX admin will grab a raw device that is already in use by Oracle ASM.
Additionally, we are using a an IBM DS8300 SAN with IBM SAN Volume Controller (SVC) in front of it. Hence, we already have storage virtualization and I/O balancing at the SAN/hardware level.
I'm looking for a little clarification to the following questions, as my understanding of their responses seem to confict:
QUESTION #1: Can anyone clarify/provide additional detail as to why Logical volumes are not preferred when using Oracle ASM? Does the argument still hold in a SAN Virtualized environment?
QUESTION #2: Does virtualization at the software level (ASM) make sense in our environment? As we already have I/O balancing provided at the hardware level via our SVC, what do we gain by adding yet another level of I/O balancing at the ASM level? Or as in the
arguments the Oracle documentation makes against using Lvm, is this an unnecessary redundant striping (double-striped or in our case triple-striped/plaid)?
QUESTION #3: So does SAN Virtualization conflict or compliment the virtualization provided by ASM?

After more research/discussions/SR's, I've come to the following conclusion.
Basically, in an intelligent storage environment (i.e. SVC), you're not getting a 100% bang for the buck by using ASM. Which is the cat's meow in a commodity hardware/unintelligent storage environment.
Using ASM in a SVC environment potentially wastes CPU cycles having ASM balance i/o that is already balanced on the backend (sure if you shuffle a deck of cards that are already shuffled you're not doing any harm, but if they're already shuffled - then why are you shuffling them again??).
That being said, there may still be some value for using ASM from the standpoint of storage management for multiple instances on a server. For example, one could better minimize space wastage by being able to share a "pool" of storage between mulitiple instances, rather than having to manage space on an instance-by-instance (or filesystem by filesystem) level.
Also, in the case of having a unfriendly OS where one is unable to dynamically grow a filesystem (i.e. database outage required), there would be a definite benefit provided by ASM in being able to dynamically allocate disks to the "pool". Of course, with most higher-end end systems, dynamic filesystem growth is pretty much a given.
In the case of RAC, regardless of the backend, ASM with raw is a no-brainer.
In the case of a standalone instance, it's a judgement call. My vote in the case of intelligent storage where one could dynamically grow filesystems, would be to keep ASM out of the picture.
Your vote may be different....just make sure you're putting in a solution to a problem and not a solution that's looking for a problem(s).
And there's the whole culture of IT thing as well (i.e. do your storage guys know what you're doing and vice versa).....which can destroy any technological solution, regardless of how great it is.

Reformatted Mac HD but it no longer has a Logical Volume Group

Hi Guys,
I've reformatted my Mac Pro's main HD, prior to doing a completely new install of Yosemite.
Having reformatted it, I noticed that in the Disk Utility, there is no longer a main hard drive at the top of the list called Macintosh HD, with a Logical Partition (below it) also called Macintosh HD.
Instead, the main hard drive is now called by it's SSD product name, which is 1 TB Apple SSD SM10... (etc). When I highlight it, the description in the bottom of the Disk Utility window is the same (1 TB Apple SSD...), whereas it used to be called Macintosh HD and its 'type' a Logical Volume Group.
I have also noticed also that drive beneath it, Macintosh HD, is not referred to in the description as a Logical Partition now, whereas originally it was. (I've been able to make the above comparisons using my MacBook, which has never been formatted since purchase.)
My questions are:
- Is there a problem in not having a Logical Volume Group, but instead just having the hard drive specs as the name?
- If this IS a problem, what is the best way to restore the drive so that I have a Logical Volume Group and a Logical Partition, both called Macintosh HD?
If anyone can help me out with a layman's understanding of why reformatting my hard drive has set things up differently to the original configuration, and what the impacts are, I'd appreciate it!
Cheers,
Mike

Extend the logical volume

Hi Everybody
I my current project no Unix administrator.
Here system is Oracle Parallel Server in HP-UX environment
(oracle 8.1.6) and database is created in the RAW devices.
For the RAW devices volume group is vgoracle. In the volume
group (vgoracle) all oracle datafiles logical volumes were
created.
The problem is, for the system datafile the logical volume name
is orasystem and the size is 300 MB. I need to increase this the
orasystem logical volume from 300MB to 1.5GB or 1GB.
After shutdown the database can I increase the logical volume by
using the following unix command
lvextend -L 1500 /dev/vgoracle/orasystem
If I increase the logical volume is there any possibility of
database crush. Now the situation is I should not re-create the
database.
Regards
Michael Selvam

It is related to both because there are oracle datafiles on those raw devices.
While looking around I found that it seems possible to extend logical volumes on the fly but if there is a file system based on it the file system must support this feature.
In my case I don't have any file systems on the logical volumes but datafiles,redologs,spfile and control files of an oracle RDMS so the question may regard Oracle as well.
I post this question here because I imagine that there should be at least one other oracle dba that experienced the same problem.
For example you've experienced this problem but in a different platform. It seems good to know that its is possible to extend a logical volume in AIX without corrupting the datafiles on it on fly.
One more thing then. Could you please tell me if adding a disk to a volume group ( the action I should do before extending the logical volume of that group ) is safe like extending a logical volume.
Thanks

Finding whole mapping from database file - filesystems - logical volume manager - logical partitions

Hello,
Trying to make reverse engeneering of database files and their physical carriers on logical partitions ( fdisk ).
And not able to make whole path from filesystem down to partitions with intermediate logical volumes.
1. select from dba_data_files ...
2. df -k
to get the listing of filesystems
3. vgdisplay
4. lvdisplay
5. cat /proc/partitions
6. fdisk /dev/sda -l
   fdisk /dev/sdb -l
Problem I have is that not able to determine which partitions are consisten in logical volumes. And then which logical volumens are consisted in filesystem.
Thank you for hint or direction.

Hello Wadhah,
Before start the discussion let me explain I am newcommer to Oracle Linux. My genetic with dba experience of Oracle is from IBM UNIX ( AIX 6.1 ) and Oracle 11gr2.
First task is to get the complete picture of one database on Oracle Linux for future maintenance tasks and make database more flexible and
preparing for more intense work:
-adding datafiles,
-optimize/replace archive redolog files on separated filesystem from ORACLE_BASE
- separating auditing log files from $ORACLE_BASE to own filesystem
- separating diag directory on separated file system ( logging, tracing )
- adding/enlarging TEMP ts
- adding/enlarging undo
- enlarging redo for higher transaction rate ( to reduce number of switched per time perceived in alert_SID.log )
- adding online redo and control files mirrors
So in this context try to inspect content of the disk space from the highest logical level in V$, DBA views down to fdisk partitions.
The idea was to go in these steps:
1. select paths of present online redo groups, datafiles, controlfiles, temp, undo
   from V$, dba views
2. For the paths got from the step 1
   locate filesystems and for those filesystems inspect which are on logical volumens and which are directly on partitions.
3. For all used logical volumes locate the logical partitions and their disks /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, ...

Insert pages from a single document multiple times

I'm trying to create a simple program that I can use to display PDF files that I can use to play at the piano. I perform often, and need to create "play lists" from which I can pull all, or part of, a PDF file containing music and display it.
I have it all working, except for one problem. I may need to "repeat" a section of a piece. I'm building up the play list by calling AcroPDDoc.InsertPages for each item in the play list. If a PDF file appears multiple times in the play list, when I call InsertPages, the call fails.
In this code snippet, pdDoc is the main doc to which I'm adding pages. playList is a generic List of my own PlayList objects, and I need to iterate through all the items in the playList except the first one, which is already loaded.
This code works great unless the fileName I specify has already been opened. The call to AcroPDDoc.Open succeeds just fine, but the call to pdDoc.InsertPages fails if the file has already had pages from it inserted. All other documents work fine. The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
        int insertPage = pdDoc.GetNumPages() - 1;
        for (int i = 1; i < playList.Count; i++)
          var newDoc = new AcroPDDoc();
          var item = playList(i);
          int startPage = 0;
          int endPage = 0;
          if (newDoc.Open(item.fileName))
            startPage = Math.Max(0, item.startPage);
            endPage = Math.Max(0, item.endPage);
            var totalPages = newDoc.GetNumPages;
            if (item.endPage < 0 || item.endPage > totalPages)
              endPage = totalPages - 1;
            int numPages = (endPage - startPage) + 1;
            if (pdDoc.InsertPages(insertPage, newDoc, startPage, numPages, 0))
              insertPage += numPages;
So, the questions:
1.) Is it possible to load pages from a single document multiple times?
2.) Is there a better way to do this? (That is, loop through a list of file names, starting and ending page numbers, and add the documents to an existing document.)
Any help appreciated! Thanks -- Ken

Hi Ken,
>The documentation, of course, doesn't mention this.
The documentation does not state explicitly that you can't insert pages again from a PDDoc you open again and never close.
But it mentions that you get references only from an already opened PDDoc.
"...Opens the specified document. If the document is already open, it returns a reference to the already opened PDDoc. You must call PDDocClose() once for every successful open..."
It doesn't state that you can't insert pages from a referenced PDDoc but it seems so.
I would close the PDDoc within your for-loop after inserting pages and release newDoc.

Norbert

Volume encrypt and erase failed; unable to delete core storage logical volume

I was attempting to slowly migrate [MI-***] from early 2013 MBPRO to New iMac 5K w/Ceiling Level components.
Kept going through LONG process and then told me it couldn't create [MBPRO HD Home Username] "Jim" on volume or whatever. NO FileVault enabling/ still skittish from White iMac Encrypting Nightmare days... I don't even know -- I guess it's encrypted on Airport, but not on MBPRO.
Moved over Applications from outside User account fine; anything inside any User account NOT FINE.
Hooked up Thunderbolt cable between two macs and restarted MBPRO in T mode... displaying the lightning BOLT on screen that moves around to reduce Burn-in.
Was able to go onto desktop and use windows to drag n drop 190G of movies over to iMac... wondering how I was going to get all right settings over form FCP...
Bottom Line: I only have 16G left on MBPRO and need to MOVE video editing to be exclusive on 3T Fusion on Maxed out iMac 5K.
> Have concluded through whole process that I just want to clone the MBPRO and then delete most of the Larger Videos from MBPRO to recover some of my 760G SSD back.
So, I grabbed my 2T Airport Extreme and Hooked up the Cat5 LAN port to Cat5 input on back of NEW iMac; Now my MBPRO doesn't have to be locked up for days, because i can use TimeMachine backup to restore or clone the two macs... i hope.
Went into recovery mode and selected sub-Macintosh HD and attempted to erase; Result time after time after time: "Volume Encrypt and Erase failed." Reason: "Unable to delete the Core Storage logical volume." It dismounts it and I have to restart computer to get it back on. Funny thing is I don't have to use R anymore... which by the way, Command+R appears to be same as just plain old R when restarting... why is that?
This has become a "since Christmas" runaround session for me and I am sick of it.
Please help. I would've called Apple Care [and I did last night while driving... just to get advice on direction. I'm usually a pretty savvy PowerUser but this is driving me crazy.] but have to get things done for a meeting tomorrow. Can work on it after hours if someone can advise today on this post.
Thx,
Jim

I have taken some screenshots of the error I get and the state of my HDD in Disk Utility. I did have a weird thing happen after trying to repair using single user mode, where I reopened disk utility and the partitions were NOT greyed out and displayed the correct info concerning space available etc, although after verifying it then reverted back to greyed out with no info.

3TB Fusion & logical volume group

I'm in the process of fully reinstalling Mavericks - erasing my internal drive and paring my system way down, to resolve some long lingering issues.
Disk Utility shows the recovery partition as separate (I've booted from it) - but when I went to erase the default Macintosh HD partition I was unable to repartition it as a single partition - it was grayed out - and the TYPE was/is logical volume group - where I was expecting to see GUID. All I could do at that point was ERASE... which I did - so it remains a logical volume group -
I'm unsure if, because of the Fusion drive, this is how they come from Apple - or the previous owner messed with it and trouble could loom wth this setup.
It's a Late 2012 iMac with stock 3TB Fusion Drive.
I'm in the process of reinstalling Mavericks from the Recovery (Internet recovery I'm guessing since it's taking 2 hours). I'm not near an Apple Store unfortunately though do have extended 3 year warranty.
Is it OK to leave the main Macintosh HD as "logical volume group"?????

Yes. That's the technical name for what Apple marketing refers to as a "Fusion Drive." Don't change it.

Meaning of defining multiple logical components in mainenance project?

Dear friends of SolMan,
I have a question regarding a possible functionality of ChaRM .
In the maintenance project, defined in SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN, there is on the tab "system landscape" another tab "systems" where you define the logical component for which the maintenance belongs to.
In the list for the logical components you have the possibility to define more than one logical component.
Now my question is:
- Why and for what am I able to define more than one logical components?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Alex

Alexander
Yes it is very important part of CHARMS
Because logical component tells you which client is dev or QA or Prd for any system
When you activate CHARMS in your project where you have added the logical comp then system check for this logical comp ...the needed things ...like rfc or transport route etc
You can have multiple logical comp for various systems in one project i& it s enough to support them with one maintenance cycle working ...........to support CHARMS functionality
Hope it clarifies

Explain about transparent mode, single mode, multiple context mode

You can explain about the differents of transparent mode, single mode, multiple context mode in ASA 5500? Thank you very much.

Great question. Hope the below helps:
Transparent Mode: In this mode, the ASA will filter traffic without requiring L3 on the ASA. This means that in your config you will not put IPs on the interfaces to be used for traffic filtering. Thus, filtering is transparent to the traffic as the traffic isn't directly routed to the firewall. Think of it like you have a server plugged into a switch. In transparent mode, you place the ASA between the server and the switch and no configuration change is required to the server. In routed mode, you place the ASA in the same physical location between the server and switch, but have to change the server to use the ASA as a default gateway.
Single Mode: Default mode of an ASA. The ASA acts as a single firewall and all interfaces are provisioned to be managed through a single firewall configuration.
Multiple Context Mode: The ASA is split into multiple virtual configurations. With the ASA now virtualized, you provision the physical interfaces on the ASA to the virtual firewall configured. Each context has it's own configuration seperate from the rest of the firewall. Multi-context is meant for enterprises to invest in a single piece of hardware and scale it for use as multiple security devices.
Hope this helps. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

Toggling between single and multiple selection in a table

I am working on ADF faces. I need to switch between single and multiple selection in <af:table based on a button I select.
I cannot use switcher or rendered property inside <af:table. Only the first one is rendering the second one is not rendering based on the switch
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectMany autoSubmit="true"
rendered="#{treeBean.multipleRows}"/>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="selection">
<af:tableSelectOne autoSubmit="true"
rendered="#{treeBean.singleRows}"/>
</f:facet>
When I use inside the switcher, it doesn't like the parent.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vijay.

I have probably misunderstood what your issue is. I do not know what your version of ADF faces is. Here is some sample code working with my version. Please check if your jdev has "rowSelection" attribute. If it has, please try my sampe code
