• Question about a config/95 G log file: LabView_32_11.0_Lab.Admin_cur.txt

  Hello world

  One of our lab computers running Labview has been reported to be running out of storage and asked me to figure out why. I scratched through some windows folders to find the culprit, specifically folder: c:\users\Lab.Admin\AppData\Local\Temp where I found a 95 G file titled LabView_32_11.0_Lab.Admin_cur.txt, I noticed that the Lab.Admin is the user name and is also included in the name of the file, so I guess it's sort of config/log file for the current user.

  The file was too large for me to open and watch with no matter what program I had available so I just renamed, restarted Labview to check that it might be recreated then removed the bloated file. The newly created file has the following inside the itt:

  ####
  #Date: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 14:49
  #OSName: Windows 7 Professional
  #OSVers: 6.1
  #OSBuild: 7600
  #AppName: LabVIEW
  #Version: 11.0 32-bit
  #AppKind: FDS
  #AppModDate: 22/06/2011 18:12 GMT
  Base address of #LabVIEW: 0x00400000

  Can someone tell me the purpose of this file and what might have caused to grow to 95 G. I'm only interested in learning how to prevent it happening again.

  See you soon,.

  Alex

  Do you mean 95 gigabytes?  95 GB?

  I think that it's a crash dump file in the event where LabVIEW detects an error.  Could you have had a recent accident (perhaps several) where some large scale applications have been involved?

  You can use LabVIEW to open the file.  Write a small VI to open the text file, then just read a smaller number of bytes and display it in an indicator of the chain.

  I have several of these files in my temp directory from to the slightly different versions of LabVIEW installed.  But they are tiny, about 1 KB.

• Files dump debugging and log files to install in the disk cleanup window

  The two points above appear in my disk cleanup window, and I wonder if it is o: k to remove. The first occupies a space of 283 KB and the other 2537 KB. The description of these two files in the disk cleanup window is "files created by Windows.

  I have a second question: I have about 5 GB left as free space on my hard drive of 'C '. If this is considered sufficient, or should I get more? I am a senior retired and only use the computer for basic items.

  I have a computer Dell Dimension 4100 with Service Pack 3 for Windows XP - Home Edition Operating System - desktop, 111 Pentium with 930 MHZ, 20 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. The file system is FAT 32.

  Thank you very much for your cooperation and your response.

  "Debug dump files" are copies of the contents of your computer's memory.

  When a program crashes, it will sometimes "dump" all or part of the
  contents of the RAM to a file on your hard drive. The file is useful to
  a technical support person who tries to understand why the program
  crashed. (Most of the tech support people have no idea what to do with a dump
  file.)

  Unless you have been asked to submit a dump for inspection file, feel free
  to get rid of them.

  Setup logs files are "log" installation of a program. If you
  Watch a (they are really just text files - open with Notepad) you will have
  see that they give a blow by blow description of how the program has been
  installed, glorious detail.

  If a program does not properly settled, the Setup log will tell you what that
  was wrong. If you have not had a facility wrong, do not hesitate to ditch
  These files as well.

  On the question of how much free space on the disk is enough... There is no
  standards. 15% of your drive must be empty in order for Windows
  The Defragmenter built into the work. In addition, it is to you.
   
  Your processor is another story. It's not easy to find effective security
  software that will work on a P3. Even if you only use the computer
  for the basic elements, an internet connection is pretty basic for a online
  criminal to find you.

• Loss of all Redo Log files

  Hello

  It's for testing purposes and practice of recovery scenarios. Database is in log mode archive. My question would be on the scenario in which we loose that redo all online log files available.

  Now after doing a lot of research on the internet I could find two scenarios.

  CASES1

  My recovery logs have been lost. But I could stop normal or immediate of the database. In this case I could perform incomplete recovery using my archived logs and re create the logs online redo with the resetlogs option.

  CAS2 (my question)

  My recovery logs have been lost and the system crashed. Now, oracle would need perform a recovery of proceeding on re start, however there is no present setpoint recovery to perform this restore.

  Is it not possible to recover the database, even if I have a valid backup? If there is, how do you do that?

  Thank you

  If you lose all copies of online redo logs, you lost all those transactions. Data files may or may not have some or all of the data of those redo logs. You need restore the database and retrieve it at the point in time of the last series of archive logs (at the latest) and go from there.

  But guess what? Oracle expected that someone might have a question like that, and actually (gasp) has documented the scenario:

• Registration of the VMWare Tools? No created log file

  Hello

  I have SuSE Linux with VMWare Tools.

  I add in the /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf

  [record]

  Journal = true

  log.file="/var/log/VMwareTools.log".

  log. Level = Debug

  But the file does not create or write.

  What I did wrong?

  Is it a problem that the 'free' VMWareTools was insalled before?

  I would like to know why the Scripts:

  / usr/sbin/pre-freezescript and/usr/sbin/postthaw-script

  are not start if I run a snapshot

  Thank you

  You configuration in /etc/vmware-tools/tools.conf should look like this:

  [record]
  Journal = true
  vmtoolsd. Level = debug
  vmtoolsd. Handler = file

  vmtoolsd. Data = /var/log/vmtoolsd.log

  See the following article:

  Enabling debug logging for VMware Tools within a guest operating system

  With these settings, I can get logging to work in a prompt of SuSe VM.

  I would like to know why the Scripts:

  / usr/sbin/pre-freezescript and/usr/sbin/postthaw-script

  are not start if I run a snapshot

  To start the file names must be:

  usr/sbin/pre-antifreeze-script

  usr/sbin/post-thaw-script

  These files must also be executable with 0755 permissions and owner root. Make sure that it is set to script files.

  Also you can check the file vmware.log of the VM on the data store that records messages related to the VM of ESXi host point of view.

• Meaning of lines hostCPUID, userCPUID, and guestCPUID in the vmware.log file

  I'm trying to get a solid knowledge about the exact meaning of the hostCPUID, userCPUID and guestCPUID entries in the vmware.log file.

  I'm well versed in masking of CPU and I know how to change masks with cpuid. < number >. < enter > = 'XXXXXXX '.

  I guess the 'host' in hostCPUID is the bits real raw CPUID reported to ESXi by the host CPU.

  What is less clear, exactly what are the values 'guest' and 'user '. Based on the name, guestCPUID looks like the bits of functionality exposed to the virtual machine. However, I don't see how the guestCPUID is established, in view of the hostCPUID and my own cpuid. < num >. < Register > masking. Maybe there is some other implicit mask takes into account as well?

  And finally "userCPUID"is completely baffling to me." Maybe something to do with the CPUID features in a mode not ring-0?

  Any clarification would be helpful. Many hours of research on Google are not getting obvious answers.

  Thank you

  You are basically correct.  GuestCPUID represents the bits of functionality exposed to the virtual machine.  In addition to your mask, there are masks applied depending on the features supported by the virtual hardware.

  UserCPUID, this is what will be visible to code ringtone-3 comments running in native mode if you use the binary translation.  With binary translation, usually only ring-0 code (or IOPL-3) is subject to the binary translation.  Most ring-3 of the code is running in native mode (in the mode that we call "direct execution.")  Before the introduction of CPUID failing, it was impossible to intercept comments the CPUID instruction execution when the guest was performed in direct execution.  Some processors support a limited ability to derogate some CPUID leaves (on a basis of registry by registry) even without intercept the CPUID instruction.  Therefore, userCPUID is based on hostCPUID, but records that can be replaced have values of guestCPUID.

  These fields are rewritten in every market, so there is little interest to change them manually.

• VMA Syslog, creating too many log files

  I've implemented our VMA server as a syslog server for our ESXi hosts. I ran the command below to put in place.

  vilogger enable - Server server.domain.com numrotation - 3 - 10 - 10 collectionperiod maxfilesize

  The logs files are being capped at 10MB, but it has already created 4 log files for messages (messages.log.1, messages.log.2, messages.log, messages.log.3). My understanding is that the parameter - numrotation would limit the number of files to 3. Can someone tell me why it does not work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Even if you add standby or online redo log files or even if you resize down and re-create redo log files, they will not be created on the standby database. It is instance specific.

  Let all the restore, the MRP will cancel out.
  And then let fall, add standby redo log files, I think that you need to the MANUAL upgrade standby_file_management before adding new files of newspapers waiting for redo. And do not forget to undo file management the AUTO value again after the execution of the changes.

  And you train to make the journal command pending, it applies only on the primaries because the log command can only be performed on the database that uses online redo log files. Even if you open databases Eve with recovery that no recovery will be generated as a result no switch journal is allowed too.
