Hello

Linux: ext3
Solaris 10: zfs

For the best performance on ext3, you want to set the following (if possible):

sysctl-w vm.dirty_background_bytes = $((10*1024*1024))
sysctl-w vm.dirty_ratio = 40
sysctl-w vm.dirty_expire_centisecs = 1000

In addition, put those in /etc/sysctl.conf to make them permanent.

On ZFS.

Set zfs:zfs_no_write_throttle = 0x1

or

Set zfs:zfs_write_limit_override = 0 x 2000000

  • Computer configuration virtual for SRM - files from memory Swap file/Virtual - best practice replication?

    Hello, I am very new to the model DR VMWare and have a few persistent questinos.

    What is the recommended best practice re: virtual computers invited windows and virtual memory files.  I think it would be unnecessary to replicate these changing data on the DR site.  I have several virtual machines with 6-8gig memory and I'm just wondering how can I isolate the ESX memory swap files and virtual memory in Windows feedback, so they get not replicated on the Dr site as often as changing os/data.  If it's even necessary to replicate.

    We use vspere vcenter 4.1 related modes, RS 4.1 the two on-site Cellera NX4 ReplicatorV2.

    I wonder if I can install the files of pages to be in a condition NOT replicated file system or a file system which is the only value replicates every 24 hours, or once a week.

    My reasoning here is.  Once the file is there, the operating system really cares about the changes in this file and dumps windows virtual memory on a restart, as well as the .vswp file.

    what I mean is built on a virtual disk full and placing the windows file on this virtual disk to Exchange.  This virtual disk could exist in a data store hosted on a celerra file system that does not get repeated as frequently as data/OS file systems.

    or am I completely off base here.

    I think that if you tried to reproduce these files and maintain a sync time minute 10, you would need a ton of bandwidth.

    any suggestions or recommendations or even pointers to Articles/items worth points = D.

    Thanks for your time.

    Given that the configuration is made at the level of the cluster and has no impact on the SRM, replication is not a factor.  Don't forget, not to replicate the LUNS with the swap, just files have a LUN configuration on the side of recovery as well and have this defined cluster Exchange files.  Also, on the virtual machine critical we define reservations memory so the pagefile is not a factor at all.

    Kind regards...

  • Store file path - best practices

    I have a database that stores the path to the images that are loaded in a page.  All files are stored in the same folder.  My question: is it better to store the path of the entire file in my db or should I simply store the name of the file and make a constant on the Web page requesting the photo?  I think it's the second option, because there is less data in the DB but I wanted to just make sure.

    Thank you!

    If the path is always the same, I stock just the names of files. Another option is to create a new field in your table for the path and assign the current path as the default value. When you insert records, simply add the file name; the path field will take just the default.

    In your SQL:

    SELECT *, CONCAT(path, filename) AS image
    FROM mytable
    

    If you already have records stored in the table, you can be updated very quickly with two SQL queries:

    UPDATE mytable SET path = '/path/to/images/folder/'
    
    UPDATE mytable SET filename = REPLACE(filename, 'path/to/images/folder/', '')
    
  • Best practices for the .ini file, reading

    Hello LabViewers

    I have a pretty big application that uses a lot of communication material of various devices. I created an executable file, because the software runs on multiple sites. Some settings are currently hardcoded, others I put in a file .ini, such as the focus of the camera. The thought process was that this kind of parameters may vary from one place to another and can be defined by a user in the .ini file.

    I would now like to extend the application of the possibility of using two different versions of the device hardware key (an atomic Force Microscope). I think it makes sense to do so using two versions of the .ini file. I intend to create two different .ini files and a trained user there could still adjust settings, such as the focus of the camera, if necessary. The other settings, it can not touch. I also EMI to force the user to select an .ini to start the executable file using a dialog box file, unlike now where the ini (only) file is automatically read in. If no .ini file is specified, then the application would stop. This use of the .ini file has a meaning?

    My real question now solves on how to manage playback in the sector of .ini file. My estimate is that between 20-30 settings will be stored in the .ini file, I see two possibilities, but I don't know what the best choice or if im missing a third

    (1) (current solution) I created a vi in reading where I write all the .ini values to the global variables of the project. All other read only VI the value of global variables (no other writing) ommit competitive situations

    (2) I have pass the path to the .ini file in the subVIs and read the values in the .ini file if necessary. I can open them read-only.

    What is the best practice? What is more scalable? Advantages/disadvantages?

    Thank you very much

    1. I recommend just using a configuration file.  You have just a key to say what type of device is actually used.  This will make things easier on the user, because they will not have to keep selecting the right file.

    2. I use the globals.  There is no need to constantly open, get values and close a file when it is the same everywhere.  And since it's just a moment read at first, globals are perfect for this.

  • Just improved m tips on best practices for sharing files on a Server 2008 std.

    The field contains about 15 machines with two domain controllers, one's data is the app files / print etc...  I just upgraded from 2003 to 2008 and want to get advice on best practices for the establishment of a group of file sharing. Basically I want each user to have their their own records, but also a staff; folder. Since I am usually accustomed to using windows Explorer, I would like to know if these actions can be done in the best conditions. Also I noticed on 2008 there is a feature of contacts. How can it be used? I would like to message or send an email to users their file locations. Also, I want to implement an admin at a lower level to handle the actions without making them far in on the server, not sure.

    I read a certain bbut I don't like test direct more because it can cause problems. So basically a way short and neat to manage shares using the MMC, as well as the way that I approach their mail from the server of their actions. Maybe what kind of access cintrol or permissions are suitable also for documents. Also how can I have them use office templates without changing the format of the model.

  • I can work on after effects being coded by best practices and Media Encoder file

    I just found out that after effects files can be returned outside the program using the media encoder.  I had been made in after effects of .mov, then open the file in photoshop to render the .mov to a mp4.  Not the process faster, but it worked.  If I use media encoder to make my legacy model would still be able to work in AfterEffects and edit and save the file rendered in media encoding, or it is locked?  I hear also the media encoder is slower than the after effects encoder.  What are the best practices for a comp sequelae which makes a mp4 (h264)?  Thank you...

    Depending on what you do the SOUL can be slower than using index rendering, but that's the only thing that you must use to make H.264 files.

    When you send a model to the SOUL a virtual copy of this composition that is the source for this rendering. You can continue to work on the same computer and additional changes but if you want these changes appears you will need to send this model to the SOUL again after making the changes.

    Almost without exception, I'm working on plans not and certainly never movies sequences in After Effects. My average computer is probably seven seconds, my average film is probably 30 minutes so I use AE to work on plans for effects which cannot be treated in my NLE. I almost always send a model to the SOUL to render a h.264 or a suitable production master, or both, and then I continue working in AE because I can't afford to wait for a rendering time. On almost all of it is the more efficient workflow.

  • Best practices for storing the Logs of the system for all newly improved ESXi hosts?

    Hi people,

    What are the options and best practices for the Logs of the system for all newly improved 5.1u1 ESXi hosts?

    Do I need to have the Syslog server or it can be safely ignored?

    Thank you

    Evening,

    Syslog is preferred, but VMware has provided a collector of syslog on the vcenter installation disc can be installed on any windows host or your vcenter. I can't count the number of times where I had guests CMTF or newspapers lost... Fortunately for the syslog which collects up to the accident.  It is not necessary, but it's really a good idea without any real cost since you can use your vcenter host.

    Here is an article on how to install it:

  • Best practices for virtualized file servers?

    Hello

    I wonder if anyone has a best practice ideas for a virtualized file server.

    I need to virtualize file server Windows 2003 with data from the 400GO file. Virtual machines are stored on an ISCSI SAN (MSA2012i). There is plenty of space on the VMFS

    I'm trying to decide if it will be better to put the data from file server (IE file shares) on the VMFS as a virtual drive or the data to another volume of SAN and present it to the file via ISCSI initiator server.

    I know that I can do both - I'm looking for some advice.

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

  • Size of the file - best practices

    I am putting together my first iPad app DPS and looking for a few tips to keep the manageable file size.

    I did a quick project about 6 pages and it came as a huge 28 MB. My document end will be about 100 pages (x 2 for directions)

    I really did nothing to try to reduce the size of the files in the project, I used PSD images with layers and not a not resize to 1024 x 768. Same thing with any jpg I used. I should do? Also, I did not bother to check if the image was CMYK or RGB. Basicially, I was working on the assumption that the images would be optimized in the process.

    I created the files using JPG because I wanted to use the content viewer Desktop and I get PDF's will help with the size of the file. But that will make a big difference?

    Is the largest part of this DPS overload just 28Mo or will it increase proportionally I've added pages?

    You are looking for just best practices.

    Thank you

    Brian

    A few tips:

    (1) we will be re-sample images to the right size, so don't worry if your sourc eimages are bigger they must do.

    2) publish as PDF. This will make a big difference if you have a lot of text content.

    (3) not to publish two orientations. While we do support the feature, this means you have to do twice the work of layout and the size of the file is quite a bit larger. Choose an orientation that works best for your content, and stick with that. The vast majority of our publishers only portrait or landscape, not both.

  • More file size small .swf - best practices?

    I make the flash banner for a website of the College and the CBS guidelines require that all size of the file is less than 40 k.  How the hell can you do something with it?

    (A) unused library items don't effect the .swf file size?

    (B) I use a lower res .jpg for a background that is about 10 k, and each line of text that I use to only 40 images looks like 20 k! (3 sets of text = 60 k)  Why plain text is so great?

    Interpolations and clips video creation C) really seems to influence the size of the file, which is essentially correct?

    (D) all considered, is the main thing that affects the final size .swf, the size of each file used on the timeline? Is there a best practice for converting graphics graphics clips, clips video, symbols, etc. ?

    Answers to one of them would be much appreciated, this is driving me crazy. 40 k is so small!

    Thank you

    Damon

    (A) No, it does not affect the SWF file

    (B) create textfields and load image execution of external source

    (C) It will have an impact on the size to the minimum level, you can also use the tween class to animate

    (D) load bitmap from an external source

    Consider at least a level of Kbs.

  • best practices for loading the swf file

    Greetings,

    Using CS5 AS2

    I am creating a website in flash (all files are in a directory/folder on SharePoint) and want to make sure that what seems to work well is recommended.

    I have an index.swf with many buttons that will take the user to landing pages/content/other SWFs. On these various buttons, I have the script...

    (release) {loadMovieNum ("name.swf", 0) ;}}                I could also just do {loadMovie ("name.swf", 0) ;} ?}

    Transitions film nicely name.swf and on this page, I have a button that returns the user to the index.swf...

    (release) {loadMovieNum ("index.swf", 0) ;}}   Things back to index.swf nicely and the user can chose to go to a different landing page.

    It seems that I am on the right track, BC., nothing's wrong? but want to check out. I'm following best practices for moving from one swf to another within a Web site?

    Thanks for the help or confirmation!

    Best practices MMO. Download music and heavy files on disk hard users?

    I just downloaded a Hello Kitty MMO application to search (for my kids of course).

    I am developing my application of teaching of English with LOADS of classical music, mp3 and heavy bottom BGS phrases. The best idea would be client to download them to their drive hard is to say that I wouldn't need their flow and therefore save a fresh wealth of bandwidth from my ISP?

    See you soon

    You will need test and see what works best for you... as I said, the files are cached and used in the cache whenever possible. However, there is a limit to the size of the cache, and if your files are huge then yes there is probably more sense to download. Or get a better reception where bandwidth is not a problem...

  • Import of Images/Illustrator files - best practices?

    Greetings

    I'm pretty new in InDesign. I have CS3. I have created a nice card in illustrator and I try to get into InDesign for print (can't seem to get it printed in Illustrator)?. I tried several methods: cut and paste, saving to JPEG in PhotoShop, place as .ai, place it as .ps file, put in jpeg.

    All are varying degrees of crappiness. Can someone give me a good method to do this. Not to sound impatient, but my INTERVIEW, it OF TOMORROW!

    Help, please.

    You should be able to print directly from Illustrator, or simply go file > save as > select PDF and print from that.  However, to answer your question, the best practice is to place as .ai.  I guess the reason why you think it's crap, it's a lo res preview, before it takes hi res go > display performance > high quality screen.
