Worries about restarting RAC machines...

Dear all,
I have install and configure RAC following hunter_rac10gr2_iscsi document. Everything is ok and running smoothly. BUT I have few doubts in restarting both nodes in RAC. I am not sure after giving a restart to the system, they will run properly or not. As vipca configure virtual IPs at run time only and if I restart the network services or machine the virtual IPs are not pingable and they are only in host file. This might create problems if i restart. There might be others that i might dont know.
Kindly help me to understand what options must be set and done on permanent basis be4 i give a restart to both machine? Like how to permanently configure virtual IPs and other requirements for RAC.
Regards,
Imran

> I though by giving document reference, like hunter-rac10gr2_iscsi you will have an idea about the
os and oracle verison
From the title we can only deduce that you're using 10r2 and SCSI drives. No mention to what patch set version is being used, whether OCFS and/or ASM is used, whether Oracle CRS is used or a vendor CRS stack, or even what o/s is used. Dealing with raw devices for example and not ASMlib, requires different startup settings to ensure that the raw devices are mapped correctly. Using Multipath is again a different config all together. Etc. Etc.
RAC is a complex s/w stack. Which is why giving a short but accurate breakdown of this stack (with version numbers) is important.

How do I restart Time Machine back-up from scratch?

How do I restart Time Machine back-up from scratch? I have a MacBook Air that was my wife's - now given to my daughter for school. My wife never used Time Machine to back up (she simply copied files to an external drive), so before clearing her files off the Mac HD, I tried using Time Machine for the first time with an external HD. However, the Time Machine back up repeatedly failed after about 2GB of 28GB of files. I manually copied my wife's 28GB of files to another external HD and deleted all the files off the Mac HD. I then reformatted the external Time Machine drive. But when I try to use Time Machine to back up the MacBook Air as it is now with my daughter's files on the Mac HD to the external TM drive, Time Machine acts as if the 28GB of my wife's deleted files are still on the Mac HD and fails back-up after counting to about 2GB, even though there aren't even 2GB of files on the Mac HD now and nothing on the external TM drive. I don't need to save any back-ups of how the MacBook used to be - I just need to start from scratch with how the computer is now. Can anyone please tell me how to get Time Machine to think the MacBook is a brand new computer and act as if it's a first time ever back up? I tried updating to Yosemite, and tried renaming the computer in System Preferences>Sharing, plus (as noted above) deleting all the old files off the Mac HD and reformatting the external Time Machine drive - none of that worked. All I can do at the moment is manually copy my daughter's files to an external HD - very frustrating.

Hmmm.. Office is not hard to restore.
You have something major wrong (Yosemite being the primary one).
Do a verify of the source drive.. to do that you will need to boot to the recovery.. and run the disk utility from there.. it sounds like your main disk is corrupted.
Once that is complete, delete the current setup of TM and try again.. use the widget to find out why it is failing..
See Troubleshooting.
A1, A4 and A5 for further info.

Good luck with it..
I would also download carbon copy cloner.. it is $40, but you can use it free for a time.. forget if a week or a month??.. to try out.. and make a proper backup before you start.. CCC is far more reliable than TM.. and in fact you might decide to simply forget about TM if it works and pays the $40.. because you can produce a bootable clone on the external drive which is a heck of a lot easier to use than TM.

Cannot Start OATS Server After Restart the Machine

Hi, All
I installed the Linux OATS server on a virtual machine.After i restart the machine, always failed to restart OATS server.
I login the weblogic console to start the application of oats, failed. got error message

No problem :-) Happy to hear that you fixed it.
BTW, there is a tool provided with OATS (Database Configuration Tool) allowing you to review/reconnect to the database. I didn't think about it at first but this is a good idea to try that one next one you (or someone else) faces the problem.
Database Configuration Tool: <oats_install>/bin/DbConfig.sh
Some other useful tools:
Create Support Package: <oats_install>/bin/oats_support.sh
OLT Agent Authentication Manager: <oats_install>/jdk/jre/bin/javaw -jar <oats_install>/agentmanager/AMAuthManager.jar
Restart OATS App Service: <oats_install>/bin/restartSvc.sh [OracleATSServer | OracleATSAgent]
Stop OATS App Service: <oats_install>/bin/stopSvc.sh [OracleATSServer | OracleATSAgent]

HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIENT MACHINE AT DATABASE LEVEL

HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIENT MACHINE AT DATABASE LEVEL USING 10g Database and 10g Application Server
we have developed an application using oracle forms 10g with
oracle database 10g and Application server 10g
Application uses a single Oracle User name to connect to database
where as at Application level there are different users (these are not database users)
Now how can we get the information about the user/his machine etc. at database level. earlier in 6i/8i we use to get by using
USERENV('TERMINAL')
we had written a triggers on tables on Insert/Update where we used to update a database field Last user terminal with USERENV('TERMINAL')
but not this information is comming to be the machine name of application server where as we wish this to be the machine name of Client. Any Way outs
thanks

hi, you can use the sys_context function, like this:
select sys_context('userenv','current_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','os_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','host'),
     sys_context('userenv','ip_address'),
     sys_context('userenv','instance'),
     sys_context('userenv','sessionid'),
     sys_context('userenv','terminal')
from dual;

Logging query with information about ip client machine address

Halo,
One of our most important requirements is logging user query (physical to database and logical) with following informations:
- USER
- SQL QUERY TEXT (logical/physical)
- DATE and TIME executing query
- IP ADDRESS client machine (or name of client machine) (this is very important information)
We have following configuration:
- BI Server with Presentation Servicess on one machine (AIX)
- Web server on second machine (BEA Weblogic 9)
I've tested [USAGE_TRACKING] mechanism but thera are three problems with it:
1. in S_NQ_ACCT in field NODE_ID is always written the same information: name of Web Server - WebLogic
2. in S_NQ_ACCT are storages only logical queries.
3. Length of field QUERY_TEXT is 1024. I'm sure that in many cases it'll be to short.
I've tested USER_LOG too (that logs to NQQuery.log file) but there are also some problems:
1. there is no information about ip client machine but is information about physical and logical queries and other necessary informations
2. oracle recommends turn off this mechanism on production system.
I've tested PRESENTATION SERVICESS log (it is configured at logconfig.xml file)
1. In file is information about ip client machine
2. In file are written only logical queries (this is big problem we also need physical queries)
Do you have some idea how to resolve my problem?
Regards

Restarting Time Machine from scratch?

If I want to restart Time Machine from scratch after a massive rearrangement of my system and external hard disks which are being backed up, is it just a matter of removing the Backups.backupdb and private folders from the Time Machine disk and generating a new backup and going on from there?
Thanks,
doug

But it's only a problem if it's a problem, right?
Is there something technically a problem with what I want to do?
That's what I'd like to find out. If all the Time Machine information is in those two folders, then is wiping them the same as restarting Time Machine from scratch on a newly formatted disk?
you'll have GREAT difficulty emptying trash if you delete those folders from finder. I strongly recommend against it. first they contain millions of files. emptying trash with that many files will take a LONG time under the best of circumstances. worse, TM backups are protected by some nasty ACLs and some items are locked. they'll give you a lot of grief when you try to empty trash.
this has been tried by many people before you as this is a natural enough thing to try to do.
that's why it's best to just erase the whole TM volume using disk utility.
Does anyone happen to know?
Thanks,
doug

Report info about a specific machine

Hi,
Does somebody have a report that gives all information in SCCM about a specific machine between a timespan (like between November 1st and November 21st)?
We would like as much as possible info about a specific workstation that's available in the SCCM SQL database, for forensic reasons (i.e. software installed, last user logged in, etc).
The specific workstation has been reinstalled, so checking the workstation itself is not possible anymore.
Thanks!

I’m absolutely sure, If the PC exists within CM07 then they data will be exposed via resource explorer.

Hi Garth,
What if the OS reinstalled machine got the SCCM Client installed now. Will it still show the old history details? or Will it show the current inventory details alone?

About Oracle RAC-CLUSTERS-HTMLDB-APLICATION SERVER

Im trying to learn about Oracle RAC and its integration with others Oracle tools and have some questions that I want to know .
1º) I undertand that a Oracle Cluster are vaious computers that store a extensive Database.
2º) I also understand that a RAC are various computers that keep instances of a ORACLE database, and this database can be store on a CLUSTER.
Now my questions:
Can I have others computers with ORACLE TOOLS, by example, HTMLDB ,to serve web pages with information store in that CLUSTER, or ORACLE APPLICATION SERVER, to serve ORACLE FORMS AND REPORTS by example, also with information store in that . taking information from the instances of database working in the RACś Computer?
By Example Can I have 5 computers , every one with a diferent tool, 3 with htmldb and 2 with aplication server, taking information from one computer of RAC, that have a instances of this database working?
Regards everybody

2º) I also understand that a RAC are various computers that keep instances of a ORACLE database, and this database can be store on a CLUSTER.
Not quite ...
Each part in a RAC IS AN INSTANCE, and each instance controls the same database as all the other instances.
Therefore, HTMLDB, which is simply kept in a database, can be delivererd to the users from any instance, or from all, in the RAC.
FORMS and REPORTS can connect to any instance in the RAC and get exactly the same data from exactly the same database as when connecting to any other instance in the RAC.
Therefore, in a RAC, you do not have different instances 'with different tools'. An external-to-database tool, such as forms, points to one olf the instances. An internal-to-database tool, such as htmldb, is available through all of the instances.

Restarting time machine

I am using Time Machine on an external disk drive subsystem (Thunderbolt) on Lion (Mac OS X 10.7). No issues at all - however, know that I'm more comfortable with its operation (it is amazing how simple it is), I would like to restart Time Machine all over to backup the complete system image and to perform its background backup operation all over again. I just want to be sure I do this right. Anybody have any experience with this?
Is it as simple as (1) Stopping Time Machine, (2) Deleting and permanently removing Backups.backupdb and all of it subdirectories on the backup drive, and (3) restarting Time Machine?

First turn Time Machine off by using the slider in the Time Machine prefs.
Then open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.app)
Select the drive name (not the partition name), click 'erase' to wipe the disk.
Unmount /eject the disk.
Remount the disk.
Go into Time Machine Prefs, flip the slider to 'On' and then tell it the name of the (newly erased) disk you want to use.

I'm suddenly seeing 2-point black boxes around any desktop icon I highlight, and around various elements in any window I'm working in. I have a G5 PPC iMac running 10.4.11. Neither restarting the machine nor running Mac Warrior has helped.

Thanks! I often inadvertently turn on the voiceover when I use the wrong keys to send an element to the back in Quark. Funny, I turned off the voiceover on my own, but never noticed that the black boxes had gone away until I saw your post.

This is not a reply. I just want to elaborate on this problem.
My computer freezes occasionally when it is used after being sleep for a while. The spinning ball appears and everything is totally disabled. Nothing on the keyboard works.
The mouse moves, but does not work.
The only solution is to turn the power off and on (losing all data in open applications.)
I kept the System monitor running on the side to find out which program was running when the computer froze. The Monitor as well as all other applications froze, but the data showed:
Firefox 18.4%
Activity Monitor 0.9%
Firefox Plugin 0.2%
This is all the information I have. By the way, I am using iMac with OS 10.6.

If you want to reset your Apple ID password, you can do it from this link: https://iforgot.apple.com/
If your old password is wrong even here, than use the Apple Support Lane that can be found right here: https://expresslane.apple.com/
Good luck.
