Disabling the direct paths of ESX and VM guests

Hi all

Hope that this question has not been asked before. (I did a search but could not find anything specific).

I'm looking for reassurance about a proposed change, we seek to bring to our system.

We need to upgrade one of our Brocade switches that will cause some interruptions in service of the said switch. (We have two bucks and each ESX host has 2 x single port hba with a connection to each Brocade card)

Literature, that I read, it seems to me that I have to force data store traffic over the other switch to allow me to remove the Brocade for its upgrade.

-Proposed method for each data store attached to a host, I intend to disable the relevant path and force a failover to the remaining path that leads to the secondary Brocade.

I have a few questions about this approach.

(1) I guess that manually disabling a path should result in no time downtime or loss of connectivity failover occurs in an operational environment? (We will off hours, but it's a 24/7 environment).

(2) Although the majority of our servers use VMFS, some use LUN RAW. These servers would encounter difficulties if I force a failover situation through a path of disabling?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

Welcome to the community

Hope that this question has not been asked before. (I did a search but could not find anything specific).

It was asked before several times, in any case

(1) I guess that manually disabling a path should result in no time downtime or loss of connectivity failover occurs in an operational environment? (We will off hours, but it's a 24/7 environment).

(2) Although the majority of our servers use VMFS, some use LUN RAW. These servers would encounter difficulties if I force a failover situation through a path of disabling?

  1. OK, even if you remove a cable adapter HBA, ESX would shift all traffic to the next available path. Don't forget that you have the vmware tools installed in the virtual machine
  2. No problem with RAW LUN, it would behave like VMFS

  • Direct-path (without) Archivelog and recovery

    Hello

    Our database is in a Data Warehouse environment, NOARCHIVELOG. When we do an Insert / * + APPEND * / an attribute table withLOGGING, a miniminal redo log is generated.
    We want to move the database in ARCHIVELOG mode and change the attribute of the table in NOLOGGING.

    My question is, is body recovery work?

    I made a matrix of the effect of a crash all in a way direct insertion operation:
    Database mode                   Table mode               Instance recovery                      Media recovery
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    NOARCHIVELOG                     LOGGING                        OK                                     NOT OK
    ARCHIVELOG                       LOGGING                        OK                                     OK
    ARCHIVELOG                       NOLOGGING                      OK                                     NOT OK
    
    Do you agree with this matrix ?
    
     
    Concerning

    Yes, instance recovery will work regardless of its direct-path use access and nologgging.

  • How to disable the automatic updates of windows and to update on demand

    At the same time, I had disabled the automatic updates of windows and updated on demand by opening windows update.  Where is the place to activate and deactivate the automatic updates of windows.

    It worked.  Thank you!

    I wasn't able to get automatic updates to download a microsoft windows update.  The fix for microsoft in default mode indicated that he needed to be repaired and that fixed it.  When windows update was used again the update has failed once again.  The fix even that it was then run in aggressive mode and with a recheck has failed to correct the problem.  At each restart, automatic updates took the time to start producing a yellow shield and then pop-up reminders.  So thank you to help us with these questions to disable the automatic updates of windows.

    Thanks for posting the results of your efforts, I don't know they will be read and appreciated.

  • How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer at all times?

    How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use Adobe Reader to view the PDF files, without having to set this preference, whenever I open Firefox? The default setting to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". Thank you.

    It's strange. The integrated Viewer - Viewer by default - is described by the expression 'Preview in Firefox' and you will have changed to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".

    Well... you or an add-on or another program on your system must be changed.

    What happens if you disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin (not the extension to create a PDF file, leave it active). Here's how you can try this:

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find "Adobe Acrobat" and change the permission 'never enable '.

    Then in the Options page, Applications Panel, change your preference for "Portable Document Format (PDF)" to "Always ask" so you get the dialog box to download instead of the PDF, open in a tab.

    It sticks?

  • DB file sequential read and read of the direct path

    Hello

    Could someone please clear my doubts about 'db file sequential read' and ' path direct reading. And help me understand the tkprof report correctly.
    Please suggest if my understanding for scenario below is correct.

    We have a 11.2.0.1 ' cluster 2 node rac version + asm' production and environment of his test environment that is a stand-alone database.
    The query performs well in production compared to the test database.
    The table is to have 254 + columns (264) with many lobs coulumns however LOB is not currently selected in the query.
    I read in metalink this 254 table + column a intra-line-chaining, causing "db file sequential read" full table Scan.

    Here are some details on the table which is similar to the prod and test, block size is 8 k:
    TABLE                             UNUSED BLOCKS     TOTAL BLOCKS  HIGH WATER MARK
    ------------------------------  ---------------  ---------------  ---------------
    PROBSUMMARYM1                               0          17408          17407
    What I understand less tkprof in production environment for a given session is:
    1 - the request resulted in disk 19378 readings and 145164 consistent readings.
    2 19378 disc bed, 2425 reads disc has given rise to the wait event 'db file sequential read'.
    This statement is correct this disc remaining readings were "db file sequential reads" but real quick so didn't wait event tied to it?
    3 - 183 'direct path read' there also. Is it because of the order by clause of the query?

    For trace files in the database Production and Test, I see that 'direct path read' is against the same data file that's stored table.
    Then how come 'this direct path read' because of the order by clause of the query and would have been in sort field size or pga?
    Or this direct path read extracts real PGA disk data, and "db file sequential read" do not extract data?
    I know, it's 'direct path read' is wait event when data are asked in PGA drive or what kind segment or temp tablespace is used.

    Here is the example of trace file in the Production database:

    Direct path readings can be done on the series tablescans in your version of Oracle, but if you have chained rows in the table and then Oracle can read read read the beginning of the line in the path directly, but must make a single block in the cache (the db file sequential read) to get the next part of the line.

    It is possible that your production system has a lot of chained rows, while your test system is not. As corroboration (though not convincing) indicator of what you might notice that if you take (reads disc - db file sequential reads) - who might get you close to all the blocks direct read - the numbers are very similar.

    I'm not 100% convinced that it's the answer for the difference in behavior, but worth a visit. If you can force and indexed access path in the table, do something like "select / * + index (use {pk}) * / max table (last_column_in_table)" and check the number of "table fetch continued lines" could be close to the number of db file sequential reads you. (There are other options for the counting of the chained rows that could be faster).

  • Multithreading works only with the direct path load

    Oracle DB version: Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0 - 64 bit Production

    I'm on my way live load to load data from a flat file into a table using SQL * Loader. I also kept as parallel. However, I can't in multithreading is used at all, based on the report of the log file.

    I use the settings according to the true value in the sqlldr: -.

    parallel=true , multithreading=true , skip_index_maintenance=true

    Output in the journal sqlldr:-

    Path used: Direct Insert option in effect for this table: APPEND

    Trigger DEV."R_TM_BK_BORROWER" was disabled before the load.

    DEV."R_TM_BK_BORROWER" was re-enabled.

    The following index(es) on table "YO"."TM_BK_BORROWER" were processed:

    index DEV.I_NK_TM_BK_BORR_1 loaded successfully with 1554238 keys

    index DEV.I_NK_TM_BK_BORR_2 loaded successfully with 1554238 keys

    index DEV.I_NK_TM_BK_BORR_3 loaded successfully with 1554238 keys

    index DEV.I_NK_TM_BK_BORR_31 loaded successfully with 1554238 keys

     

    Bind array size not used in direct path.

    Column array rows : 5000

    Stream buffer bytes: 256000

    Read buffer bytes: 1048576


    Total logical records skipped: 1

    Total logical records read: 1554241

    Total logical records rejected: 48

    Total logical records discarded: 2

    Total stream buffers loaded by SQL*Loader main thread: 7695

    Total stream buffers loaded by SQL*Loader load thread: 0

    So, I can still see the newspaper sqlldr that all data flow buffers loaded by the main thread and load wire is not always used.

    SQL * Loader load wire do not unload the SQL * Loader main thread. If the load wire supports the current stream buffers, then it allows the primary thread to build the buffer to the next stream while the thread of load load the current stream to the server. We have a server CPU 24.

    I'm not able to find a clue on Google too. Any help is appreciated.

    Can I use direct path load if the table has a unique index on it?

    Yes, you can:

    Table created.
    
    SQL> create unique index t_idx on t(a) compute statistics

  • Disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail and problems with the Windows Firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials and Windows updates.

    Original title: Windows Live Hotmail only opens a new window links e-mail composition!

    I recently put my Windows Live Hotmail account to my default e-mail client in Internet Explorer 8 on my Windows XP SP3 System. Unfortunately, whenever I click on a link to e-mail on a Web page to open a new message, Hotmail tells me, "Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Hotmail right now", and a new/compose message window does not open. I disabled the HTTPS option in Hotmail, which fixed the problem. However, when I went to do a manual update of Windows, I am nailed with a Trojan horse! Apparently, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials have been affected by turning off HTTPS in Hotmail! It's 2012, and it's terribly disappointing that Microsoft only has not ironed out all the imperfections in these services now. If anyone can give me a solution (in simple terms), I would appreciate it!

  • Zbook Studio G3 HP: How to disable the integrated graphics card Intel and use the dedicated Nvidea graphics all the time?

    Dear all,

    I have a HP zbook studio G3 laptop. I want to go to the Nvidia graphics card permanently.  I tried to disable graphics integrated in the Device Manager, uninstall the driver and allowing even the nvidea card chart of all profiles in the parameter 3D tap in the Nvidia configuration software. Non of them seems to work as the integrated graph is always in action and simple games could not be executed. I always keep in the option to high-performance mode, and the laptop is still connected. Should I manipulate the bios setup?

    Thanks in advance,

    Bezzi

    I have the version non-studio of Zbook 15 G3 which has removable video card. I added the video card after purchase and found that it worked just right if I went into the BIOS and set it to use only the nVidia card. However, because yours is graphic switchable I don't know that you have this option. Have you looked at even the BIOS? Press ESC you turn on, then F10

  • I want to disable the ability to go back and save your work before the expiration of time on the family safety settings

    My daughter uses the option to go back and save your work before closing down as a way open to passing the family safety settings. When she is about to be disconnected because of the time limit, she knows that three programs open with live data on them (like playing content in YouTube, chatting and playing an internet game all at the same time) he will come to the top and he the opportunity to go back and close its data. It completely negates the purpose of the limits of time. Because it doesn't then go back to the top and stop her. It falls just the problem completely. I don't know that this is just a gap in the family of security software. But thought I would ask to see if this option can be disabled, or if there is a way around it.

    If you find the Parental control in Windows help, he will guide you to articles online for the safety of these two parental controls & family.  There may be a solution in the event of children in one of these roads.
