What is easiest way to mount /OVS on our SAN?

Hi All,
We are running Oracle VM Server 2.1.5. We have /OVS on the local machine and want to place it on the SAN. Can we just move the mount point after formatting the SAN storage?
Thanks.

I'm still learning all of the VM server configuration and best practices as I'm new to Oracle VM Server but I can tell you the problems/solutions I hit when configuring the SAN storage.
The best way I have found iis to configure multipath SAN then use the OVM repositories to manage the luns.
If you do not have the multipath configured your devices have a chance to shuffle around when you present a new lun to the server and you have to update the information in the /etc/ovs/repositories and fstab. Or if your SAN card fails over to the other path you will have problems. (this was my first problem)
Once you get that configured you can remove any /OVS entries from your fstab and register the cluster root (/OVS) using the repositiory tools.
For example mine was added using:
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo /dev/mapper/mpath1p1 C 'Cluster Root'
then I added a couple other luns for extra shared storage
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo /dev/mapper/mpath2 1 '400G Storage'
/usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepo /dev/mapper/mpath3 1 '1T Storage'
Seemed to work for me.

  • What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?

    What is easiest way to set up a remote network between countries online?
    My main Mac is in England, UK and I'm spending time in the USA with my Mac laptop for 3 months. I'm in the USA right now, but neighbour in the UK has keys to my apartment so he can go in there and follow my instructions.
    How can I access my Mac back in England via my Mac laptop in the USA as there are files on my UK computer that I need to transfer back/forth while I'm here in America.
    I know there are things like Log-me-In as in per link below, but I don't think you need things like this on the Mac do you, isn't there an easy way to set something like this up via the Mac's OS?

    Any advice on the easiest way for me to get this set up finally would be great as I just can't figure out the most straight forward way of doing this.
    Thanks a ton all.

    Is there any chance of being able to set up and use something such as
    the Apple Remote Desktop in these computers? Sure, there is a matter
    of setting up the computer on the far end, including any update to the OS
    and having the Apple Remote Desktop client side ready and able.
    And then having (owning) the ARD software within the computer you have
    there while traveling so as to contact and control the remote computer.
    This should be capable of allowing you to move files between the Macs
    but may be cumbersome without planning ahead; before traveling away.

  • Web - What is easiest way to implement User Security and User Profiles

    Hi, I am new to these forums and kind of new to Java. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum!
    Bit of background to my experience with java
    I have been playing about with java for a number of years and have created a few basic programs such as a screen shot tool that allows you to capture to default locations and look at previews first etc. I am now venturing into web related stuff. I work in IT doing systems testing and have done bits of basic development on various things.
    What I've done so far
    I am using Netbeans IDE 6.7 and MySQL 5.0
    I am trying to learn more complex java and have decided to try build a basic web / database system that basically implements adding / amending / deleting data from a MySQL database through web pages. I am now trying to implement basic user access and profiles. I have so far got the following:
    - MySQL table with user info - username / password
    - JSP page with usual login stuff
    - Servlet that validates the username and password - if correct forwards to main menu page.
    Its as simple as that - there is nothing stopping you just typing in the URL of the main menu page and going from there.
    What I want
    I am wanting to eventually get the following:
    - User authentication so that you have to logon before you can access anything else
    - User profiles that determine what each user can or can't do, restricting the pages / services / options available (i.e. normal user can't delete etc)
    - Would it need some sort of session manager to allow multiple users etc?
    I appreciate this is a fairly open question but what is the easiest way to start implementing this? Not after specific code as I would prefer to try figger things out myself, but a point in the right direction would be great. It doesn't have to be extremely secure as this is just for me at the minute.
    I have spent all day looking at things like session data / url rewriting / security settings in web.xml / bespoke servlets and am now in java overload!

    Hi everyone,
    I've now actually gone back to the tutorial that I linked to above and implemented that using form login and j_security_check.
    Agree with Saish, and although I don't know enough about the other options to give a good reason, using realms and j_security_check just seems to be a bit cluncky and messy. I would also prefer something a bit more generic, that doesn't rely on setting users in glassfish, hence why I started with my own user table.
    Anyway, I will leave it as is for now and maybe come back and try one of the other options.
    The only problem I can see now is that to add users i will need to go through all the steps of adding users in glassfish and web.xml... Is there a way to do this through a servlet or something so I can have a jsp page to add users that also creats all the other bits for it to work?
    Thanks everyone for your help

    Way too complicated. If you want to change the color or style

    thanks in advance and much appreciated!

    Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
    Step One - Back up your data:
           A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
           B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
              1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
              2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
              3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
                  side.
              4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
                  sure to opt for that.
                   Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
                   startup drive.
    Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
              1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
              2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
              3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
              4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
              5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
    Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
         A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
              1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
              2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
              3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
                  Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              4. Install OS X.

              6. Shutdown the computer.
         B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
             Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                       it is three times faster than wireless.
              1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
                  Utilities window appears.
              2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
              3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
                  on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
              4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
                  and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
              5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
              6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
              7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
              8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
    *If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. If this is not possible then simply erase the drive. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above.

  • Whats the easiest way to share iTunes library between two accounts

    Hi all
    I have my account in leopard that has my entire music collection. I have just created a new account for my wife and would like her to have access to my library, having said that, I like my play lists and it would be ideal for her to have her own.
    Any idea's on how to archive this

    Move it from the Music folder of your home folder on the iMac to the same location on the MacBook Air; this can be done through target disk mode, or an external drive, or file sharing over a network. iTunes Store authorization won't automatically transfer, and any rented movies moved in this way won't play on the MacBook Air.

  • I have extended video footage taken on my ipad that I need to burn to dvd.  Tried imovie and final cut.  Final Cut rendering time was extremely long. What is easiest way to accomplish my goal?

    I am a video technology teacher and coach at a high school in NJ.  I have footage of a basketball scrimmage that I need to get from my iPad onto a DVD.  I tried importing it into iMovie without success.  I have imported it into Final Cut Pro but the rendering time makes the process very cumbersome with 7/8 hours of rendering time to create a quick time file to then use with iDVD.  Is there a quicker way to accomplish this.

    The Mac does not come with a Blu-ray burner. So you would be burning a Blu-ray compatible file to a standard DVD-5 or DVD-9. Neither of which are ideal for authoring Blu-ray content.
    Do an exhaustive search online about Blu-ray authoring and disk creation. This is not something for the hobbyist video creator (and I say hobbyist in the sense that you're not creating thousands of copies for mass distribution, so no one take offense.)
    Blu-ray is expensive and requires a lot of planning and prep to do it right. But you can't burn an official Blu-ray disc on a Mac as they stand. And, Compressor doesn't burn discs, it only creates files. DVD Studio Pro would be the app that would burn the Blu-ray disc, and DVDSP has not been upgraded since long before Blu-ray came on the scene.

  • Whats the easiest way to migrate my itunes data from old failing PC to new PC so I can sync on new PC?

    I have a failing PC that I sync my Ipad and Iphone to now. I have a new PC that I want to start using for this function. How do I migrate my Itunes Data Etc...so that I can sync on the new PC and not lose my apps, music, pics etc....There has to be a simple-stupid way of doing this. I have already downloaded Itunes on the new PC and just waiting for an answer to go forward.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
