Upgrading 10.6 server with different data files location

I have been trying to upgrade from 10.6 server to 10.7, but I am having a lot of problems.
I think the main cause of the problem is because when I setup the 10.6 server, the data files (like wiki, calendar, itunes, user profiles) are stored on the external firewire hard disk.
When I try to upgrade the system, it doesn't seem to be able to find the locations itself and I tried to build another server and migrate the data by manually, but I can't even get all the user accounts imported using the instructions on how to migrate Open Directory data.
Anyone used a similar setup and successfully upgraded to Lion Server? Please help.

I have solved this now.
I used Carbon Copy Cloner to move just ServiceData folder back to the startup disk. So everything is on one volume. I used CCC because it preserves all the owners and permissions.
The server admin tool to update each service manually to point to the new folder.
Then I ran "sudo changeip -checkhostname" to check if the result is = "success".
After that, the upgrade ran smoothly.
Thanks.

Adding Data file to existing primary file group with 1 data file

Currently our databases are configured to only have 1 data file and 1 log file. I am looking at adding a 2nd data file to the primary group, which will be on a separate lun.
Will we benefit from adding the 2nd data file (same size as 1st data file and same autogrowth rate) , or should we create a new database with 2 data files (equal size and autogrowth rate), and import the data from the database with the single data file.
Thanks.

Having another data file pointing to different Physical Volume
will give you better performance gains. Additionally, you should pre-size them (Same as First Data File) with same growth settings (Preferably in Mb
instead of Percentages) .
It is perfectly OK to add another data file to PRIMARY file-group as well and SQL Server will automatically balance the data across multiple files over the period time (Due to Data Striping)

Replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 files server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished

I am wanting to replace a 2003 (not R2) File Server with a 2012R2 file server and preferably keep the same machine name and IP when finished. For the moment I just need some "high level" guidance, little details can be worked out once I know
which direction I will go. I was considering that DFS might be a way to help get through the process although when finished the 2012R2 Files server will be by itself with no other file server planned at this time. DFS can stay installed for maybe
future purposes but clearly I wouldn't need the DFS Replication with only one machine.
Here's a few details of the environment....
1. DC's are 2012R2 but it is still 2003 DFL because the old 2003 DCs are still present. But likely they will be gone and the DFL elevated before I start on the File Server project
2. Nearly all machines in the facility have a shortcut on the "All Users" Desktop that points to the existing old File Server. Editing or replacing that shortcut would be a major pain,...hence why I want to keep the same machine name at least,
and maybe the same IP if not too much trouble. This way the existing shortcut would continue to work with the new 2012R2 File Server. The UNC path represented in that shortcut is also configured into one or more of our major business applications,
futher emphasizing the need to keep the UNC path the same throughout the process.
3. The facility runs 24/7/365 but is "light" on weekends. The political environment is such that there is little to no tolerance for any down time at all.
4. Would DFS (based from the 2012R2 machine) be a good tool to get where I need to go?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Sharon,
I've done some more reading and have a few new ideas to run past you....
Yes regular DFS wouldn't help and the Namespace would still be different than how it was with just the old server. However I was thinking DFS Replication could replace the purpose of RoboCopy and it would keep the two locations "in sync" until I was ready
to flip over to the new server. DFS Rep can exist independently of a DFS Namespace, so a Namespace is not even needed. It needs a minimum of 2003R2 for the "later & better" DFS Rep but I believe 2003 can do an "in place" upgrade to 2003R2, so I would upgrade
the old server to 2003R2 first. As long as the DFS Rep on 2012R2 and 2003R2 will properly interact I think that will work.
Thanks for the reg info on the Shares. I'm debating if editing that would reg file would really be much better than manually creating the Shares on the new server while the DFS Replication was doing its job. I'll probably export that Key as a
safety move whether I use it or not.
Once the DFS Rep is fully in sync and the Shares are in place on the new server, I figure I would then:
1. Remove the DFS Replication Object (optionally remove DFS Services completely)
2. Rename the old File Server to something else and set it to DHCP
3. Rename the new File Server to the name I want to use and give it the IP the old server had.
How does that sound?

I have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device?

i have multiple devices backed up to the same computer each with different data. how do i keep them from syncing all data when i back up or transfer stuff from the computer to a device? one is an iphone 6 and the others are ipad mini first gens, each ipad has 64gb and the iphone has 128, need to keep the data seperate as they are not all mine

Itunes content and pics are NOT part of the backup that itunes performs.
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
You should transfer any purchases from iphone regularly: File>Transfer Purchases , if they fail to be transferred when you sync.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your purchases.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.

How to use the same OC4j server with different port number

How to use the same OC4j server with different port numbers..?
I have to OC4J installed on my machine on different hard disk drives....
I want to be able to run both the server simultaneously..?
is it possible ..it yes then how..?
for that i have changed the port number of one server...
but when i am trying to start the other server with different port number..it says that JVM -Bind already...
Is there any clues...?
Nilesh G

In the config directory:
default-web-site.xml: Change the port the HTTP listener listens on
jms.xml: Change the port the JMS service listens on
rmi.xml: Change the port the ORMI listener listens on.
Or, you can add another web-site.xml file, and deploy your applications to 1 server, and bind the web applications to the different web sites. This way you only have to deploy your applications to 1 place.

Different templates with different datasource files

Hi All,
Can someone tell me how we can have two different templates with different datasource files in one BIP report.
I need PDF template based on one xml file and CSV teamplate based on another in one report.
Thanks.

you can have two data-set or query , and select concatenated data and have a single xml file.
But pdf template will look at those, dataset in the xml, which you want. and CSV will look only on the other dataset.
what method are you using for CSV ?

Upgrade from Panther Server with Raid1

Trying to upgrade from Panther Server with software Raid1. Upgrade fails with "Could not prepare disk". I'm guessing it has to do with the RAID1? I need to upgrade and not do a clean install.
Could I upgrade to tiger server first?

Wow, Panther server. Ah the memories... Anyway, what you are running into is an issue with the actual Apple RAID software versions. If you run this command:
diskutil checkRaid
You should see in the result:
Apple RAID version: 1
That is your problem. Tiger and Leopard will only install on Apple RAID version 2 which was introduced in Tiger. But, all is not lost. Apple has provided a method to upgrade the RAID version without a break and a recreation. Again, using diskutil, run this command to see your options:
diskutil convertRaid
You will get:
Convert a 1.x RAID set (Mac OS 10.3 Panther or earlier) to a 2.x RAID set.
The filesystem must be mounted and resizeable (i.e. Journaled HFS+).
Ownership of the affected disk is required.
Example: diskutil convertRAID /Volumes/RAID
If the name of the volume is Data, then diskutil convertRaid /Volumes/Data should provide the fix you need.
Boot from your Leopard install media and then before attempting to install, open the Terminal and use the command above. Provided you formated as HFS+ journaled you will be fine.
*Make sure you have a backup!*
Oh, and if this fails, then run a diskutil list and hope that you did not install the OS 9 firewire drivers. If you did, then nuking and paving is likely your only option. In that case, I would suggest a clone, then a Raid break, then a creation of a new RAID set, then a restore, then an upgrade.
Again, make sure you back everything up. Be ready to revert back to your clone. Stop all services before upgrading. Export all users and groups. Just be safe. Panther to Leopard can be a tricky upgrade. If you are using MySQL, do a dump before attempting.
Hope this helps. Backup first. Backup many places.

Distribute air install with different DB files

hey all,
I have two air applications. The first is an admin widget that allows a user to create new DB files and edit existing ones. This is used to hold different image information. The second air widget reads a DB files and gives the user access to the image information from the DB file that was created in the admin. My problem now is distribution. I would like to distribute different installs of the widget with different DB files. Can this even been done without connecting to the internet and downloading the DB file after autherization. Or can I have the admin widget compile these install files? Any ideas would be helpful
Thanks,
Josh

I am trying to duplicate a Primary database in another server with different db name. On firing the duplicate target database for standby from active database nofilenamecheck i face ORA-01103: database name 'ORADB' in control file is not '11GDB' error. i even tried some other duplication commands by surfing in internet but nothing worked.When you duplicate from primary to standby. Ensure the DB_NAME same on both primary and standby and of course you can have different DB_UNIQUE_NAME in both primary and standby databases.

Comapre 2 same channels from two different dat filea

Hi ,
I want to compare the wave forms of two same channels names (in my sample data which is in attachment, the same channel names are S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP) from different dat file(S2100044 and S2100041) .
Load the 2 dat files from navigator.
Come to report and open two 2d axis systems to see the wave forms of two different channels ( Like in attachment result.jpg)
I need an autosequence to do the same for all the channels for 2 dat files automatically.

Hi RSH,
I appreciate you posting 2 data files and the jpg, but I'm afraid I still have lots of questions before I can advise you. You sent 2 *.dat files which each had 1 channel in them named "Data", which is different from your email text and the jpg you posted. Will your data sets typically have many channels in them? Your posted *.dat files had no time channel and the "Data" channel was not a waveform channel, yet the 2 different "Data" channels were different lengths. Do you want to plot your channels vs. the array index all the time (as is shown in your jpg)?
Do you want to have N sheets in REPORT, one for each channel? Why don't you want to have both "S1KNSLLE00H3DSZP" channels as curves with different colors on the same graph-- wouldn't that make it easier to compare them?
When you drag over the data channel onto a REPORT graph, you will get a reference like "[1]/Data" or "[2]/Data", which is exactly what you want to compare the "Data" channel from 2 arbitrary data files (note that the file name does not show up in the channel references). So it seems to me that the REPORT layout you sent a jpg of already satisfies what you're asking us to create for you. Why do you need a script at all?

Hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection
i created a crystal report for a mysql database on my machine and everything works great
but we have other reports that come from other machines with different odbc connection
and this its not working when opens the report asks for credentials
and i cannot use the remote ip for these reports that come from other machine
question
if i cannot connect to remote ip to open the report
for each report i have to create a database the report database on my machine and then open the report ?
or there is some other way to open the report ?
i am using visual studio 2013 and mysql and
<add key="MYSQLODBCDRIVER" value="{MySQL ODBC 5.3 UNICODE Driver}"/>
thanks

How to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in Delta

We have to copy large amount of data ( more than 42lak of recodes) selectivly from on ODS to other ODS. in delata load ( BW 3.5 enverioment)
I thought of loading data in slices through delta loading with selection condition.
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
Here what problem I am facing.. while doing 2nd time initialization it prompt me to delete the last initialization request form scheduler menu.
if i delete the last request .. will it take the delta for previous initialization selection and new initialization selection. ?
Please advice how to go about multiple inclination with different data selection in delta loading.
Looking forward your reply.

Hi,
step 1> Do The initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2001 ( Init without data transfer )
step 2> Take the delta load .. it will take all delta record with same selection
step 3> Now I want to do Initialization with selection condition as for calyear =2002
step 4> take the delta now it will take delta for year 2001 and 2002 both Right ?
You are correct with this scenario normally. The message you mentioned normally comes up when you open a infopackage and don't change the selection first or in case you have overlapping selections with an already done init.
