• Move the RAID5 array to another server

  Had a RAID failure on an old PE2850. looked like two disks of default at the same time, which makes me suspect the PERC, not drives - especially because I moved the disks as a unit to another PE2850 and was able to mount it as a second table RAID (the new server OS on disk RAID1 disks 0 and 1, this table 2-5) and he acknowledged the table.

  However, I can't mount a Windows partition.  I start the operating system on the new server and Disk Manager recognizes there is a drive, but I can't use it unless I format it, who will become the object of all the activity, which is at this stage to draw sort of useful data in the coast of the Bay.

  Anyone can suggest a way to get this recognized by a new server table or card PERC or something?

  You would be able to connect to a PERC 4 controller, otherwise it will not recognize the VD.

  You could try editing under linux... sometimes that has a better tolerance (or the less different) for corrupted partitions/file systems. If the table of partition/filesystem is corrupted, you can also try the tools to try to fix it. If the damage is superficial, as they often work.

  You said that you had two disks fail... describe how you got the table online. It is important and can determine whether or not the other attempts to retrieve data are futile.

• Move the database on its own server Vcenter 4

  My current Vcenter Server 4.0 has the Vcenter Server and database SQL 2005 on the same computer. My performance is EXTREMELY slow, as in there more than 15 minutes for the client to connect, Vsphere load inventory and discover plugins until I'm able to use it. Once loaded, clicking on the servers and things within the client is very slow. So I think that by moving the database of its own machine, it will increase the performance of the vcenter server. I was looking in the vcenter admin section, and I can't find a way to 'clear' to tell him to look for the database on a different server.

  Does anyone have any documentation on how to move the vcenter database to another server?

  Thank you!

• VMware Workstation failed to mount the physical disk 10TB

  VMware workstation or any other product vmware does support more than 2 TB of physical disks?

  I am trying to connect a 5 of 10 TB raid enclosure and mount it on my ubuntu vmware workstation machine. The common error that I receive is when mounting the reader on ubuntu and I think it might have something to do with the size of the file.
  I am running vmware workstation 12 in windows 10.

  The official version said that WS allows only virtual up to 8 TB of disk.

  According to my own tests, it only limits the size of the VMDK for 'New - VM' Assistant.
  Once you have a greater vmdk - just tried a vmdk 10TB - WS won't complain about the size.
  I don't expect that WS will prevent the physical disks to use inside a virtual machine that is already configured.
  So in your case I think you started WS with a normal user account.
  Try to start as administrator WS - maybe even using the administrator account.
  I think that then it will work.
  Unfortunately, the error messages produced by vmware.exe are not really accurate-, so there is no way to know if you really have a bad super block.
  To test if this is really the problem and not just an error message - poor try to mount the drive directly.
  Please post the vmdk - want to know if there is something unusual about 5.5 TB in the disk.

• How can I move or move the 'Show desktop' to another location in my taskbar?

  Original title: I am running Win 7 pro - 64 bit. How can I move or move the 'show desktop' to another location in my taskbar?

  I'm running Windows 7 pro 64 bit on a Lenovo Thinkpad T520. Any suggestions on how I can move or move the 'show desktop' icon in my taskbar. Please note that this already exists on the right side of my taskbar. I would like to add it or move it to the left side.  Thank you

  The only way next to what has been offered, is if you put the taskbar on the left side of your screen instead of the lower part.

  Right-click on the taskbar and select Properties, the options are there.

• I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another.

  I want to copy my lightroom catalog and photos of the hard disk to another. I tried to use the copy and paste, but when I try to open the catalog on my laptop lightrooom cannot find the photos because he is always looking for them on the old hard drive. How can I get lightroom to get on the new drive? When I try to manually connect the photos they disappear just from any folder, they are in Lightroom.

  Hi Mike Nature.

  Greetings.

  As you have already moved the catalog and the files on the hard disk up, visit this link on how to find missing images/files

  • https://helpx.Adobe.com/Lightroom/help/locate-missing-photos.html

  I suggest you look for missing files.

  The images do not disappear, but after the relining, they should be available under the new hard drive.

• Script to create the folder on the physical disk and not in the package

  Hello-

  Attached is a script that I have which will create a folder on the C:\ inside the bubble.  What I need, it's so he can create a folder on the physical disk and not inside the bubble.  Can someone tell me what I did wrong here?  I have a similar script which creates a folder on the D drive for the linked clones and it works fine.  Thanks in advance!

  Change the isolation mode of the file %drive_C%\vaforms5 'Merged' into the Attributes.ini, rebuild the ThinApp and check.

  With the help of isolation have merged, the application can read/write file on the physical machine.

• Move the physical hard disks to new server

  First of all, before I have offend anyone wrong, yes there is a back-up. The "Extend reasons" why would I be willing to do this style of rough house upgrade are given below

  
  Simple explanation of the problem

  I have moved the physical hard disks (6 discs in the 0 + 1 array) in a HP Proliant ML350 G6 low for HP DL360 G5.

  The hard start and loading VMware 4.0 disks but no network connection. It shows the assigned static IP but no connection to the network.

  Also tested network cables. ;-) Firmware update on both boxes

  I have improved the VMware ESXi 4.0 to HP VMware hypervisor 5.1(1??) Edition, still no IP connection.

  Any Suggestions to get this NETWORK card IP address running?

  The drive in the array goes back to the system original and boots with work IP (and upgrading VMware 5.1 too)

  Extent of the reasons

  It is a small business with a single physical server, we borrowed a temporary server (used) from our supplier

  The current table (6 x 136 GB drives 0 + 1 array) has 408 GB of usable space. The person who made the initial VMware/OS load charge did not increase the block size for the Server Windows Small Business 2008 has a maximum of 320 GB volume

  Which is now max out.

  The goal is to have the production server upgraded to (8 x 450 GB drives 0 + 1 array) to 1.8 TB of usable space. Ideally the SBS 2008 will be migrated from the temporary server on the production server with sizes of block appropriate for larger volumes. The intensity of the current SBS has VMware unrelated corruption that would also give reason why we do not want the original charge on the new drives in the production box.

  It is also an Exchange Server which is critical for the company, I can't bring down the server for more information, then 1 hour without impact 7 x 24.

  The Back-up exists but isn't something suitable like a Veeam but is Microsoft Backup to disk iSCSI

  Hi, what I would say to access this server esxi through DCUI and access network configuration. If you can't see the network cards then you can also assign IP address from there for the management and you can also select NIC, you want only for management purposes.

  Thank you

• Expand or move the virtual machine to another partition / hard disk

  I tried to expand my 90 GB disk but nothing changes, i.e. the virtual machine is still to 60 GB. I have VMware Fusion 6 (Mac/Windows 10) and my VM is monolithic mode. In this true HD, I even 50 GB free and I can't increase the amount again in an attempt to rectify this problem and I can not to decrease either. I thought to change the location of the virtual machine to another partition/hd with more space, but I don't know how. So I need little help to choose and implements one of the solutions below:

  - or regularise space for the new amount

  - or move the virtual machine (vmdk) to an another partition/HD

  - or to convert monolithic mode to 2 GB split

  What is the best solution?

  Thanks in advance

  It's help me;

  Resize a Windows Partition with disk management tool

  When you maximize your virtual hard disk, you must also expand partition of your guest operating system to take advantage of the extra space.

  Fusion resizes the partition of the guest operating system when you resize the virtual hard disk. If you hold the Option key when you click apply to resize the drive, you can manually resize the Windows partition. For Windows 8, Windows 7 and Windows Vista you can use the operating system's disk management tool to resize a partition.

  Prerequisites

  Check that your virtual hard disk is large enough to accept the increase in the size of the partition. See resize a hard disk.

  Procedure

  1 right click on computer and select Manage.

  2. double-click on storage.

  3 double-click disk management.

  4 in the list, right click on the partition to expand and select Extend the Volume.

  5 follow the prompts to resize the partition and click complete and the question of the partition in the disk management pane displays its new size.

  6. close the computer management window

• How to move the workflow of an orchestrator server to another

  I have Setup initially orchestrator on a trial basis spread and the configuration of the workflow, now, I drove outside the actual configuration and would like to move the workflow that I did in the original test on my current Server Setup. Any ideas?

  Now you can see one of my favorite parts of the Orchestrator.

  • On your dev server, open the Client Orchestrator

  • Click on packages

  • Create a new Package

  • Change the package

  • Click the 'Workflows' tab in the right

  • Add all the workflow that you created

  • • All flows of dependent work, actions, etc. will be added automatically

  • Click on each of the other tabs in the right and did not forget to add additional resources that you created

  • Save your package and close

  Now, you have two choices:

  1. Export the package, and then import it on the production server

  2. Right-click on the package and select "synchronize".

     • When you are prompted, enter the IP address of the server production or FQDN, username and password

  In both cases above, you will be provided with a summary screen that shows the items that will be added to the production server (represented by a green arrow).

  Enjoy!

• The best way to move the physical servers in a data center

  Hello everyone.

  We have 3 physical database servers and you want to move to a data center.

  These servers are primary servers 2 with the infrastructure of grid and race of RDBMS oracle as stand-alone server + ASM and a standby with three instances server = an ASM + 2 instances of RDBMS for the primary servers corresponding instance.

  Each said server has 2 interfaces eth - one to be used with DG and another to deal with the demands of the customers.

  The standby server has three interfaces eth - two of them are used with DG ant the third to process requests from clients.

  So the question is what would be the best and most simple way to move all the data from these servers to the cetre of data taking into account the fact that there are three corresponding virtual server already exists whith the sama of RDBMS and Linux version.

  Hello again;

  I moved a little smaller primary and waiting that my slip was something like this:

  1. on the primary database see the standby destination.

  2. on the current expectation cancel recovery and closing of the database.

  3. create directories of database on the new server.

  4. edit the tnsnames.ora on the primary current

  5. Add the tnsnames.ora and listener.ora on the new server.

  6. move the password files and spfile on the new server.

  7 Tnsping both servers

  8 use scp to move the database to the new server.

  9 start the recovery, and check gap

  Create a scp of SQL

  set the position

  Set feedback off

  set pagesize 100

  set linesize 400

  Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ datafile;

  Select 'scp'. B.SID |' server_name:' | B.SID as newname from v$ controlfile;

  Select 'scp'. a.Member |' server_name:' | a.Member as newname v$ logfile;

• How to move a virtual machine to another host ESXi running when HA vCenter is not operational... !

  Hey

  We have a few guests of ESXi running the 5.0.0 original version and some running the latest 5.1 U1 or whatever and the last vCenter to do this too.

  the vCenter server is one of the hosts running 5.0.0 and these do not allow HA either active correctly. The problem is a known bug, and you switch to maintenance mode and do funky stuff on the cli to make it work. However, I just want to spend all my virtual machines off the old 5.0.0. hosts and on the new, as the 'old' will be dismantled. I can do all virtual machines by just when close them down and moving off, but I won't be able to do this in with the vm off vCenter vCenter!

  can I turn off, connect directly to the ESXi host, remove it its inventory (this option exists even on the ESXi host live?) and save it to the new 5.1.0 host U1 and fire?

  vCenter complain or fail when she returns to the top?

  they share all the same warehouses of data, so I need to move the backend.

  thoughts?

  Thank you

  Roger

  HA and vMotion (i.e. live migration) are two different things and are independent of each other, so if vMotion is configured correctly, you should be able to migrate the virtual machines (including the vCenter Server VM) to another host.

• Restore the RMAN backup on another server

  Hello

  ENV: Oracle 10 g 2 64 bit, RHEL 5.8 64 bit on ASM, Database size = ~ 1.3 to

  Backup RMAN of PROD will FRA and then backed up to tape. I have limited access to the PROD because it is maintained by 3rd party.

  My client is planning to move this database on their own datacenter (from the 3rd party data center). For test purposes, I asked DBA of 3rd party to provide us with an export of drawings required data pump. Export takes about 8 hours, and the import takes the same time to the new location. To copy the files exported to new locations takes another few hours (over the network). The total size of the dump file is around 500 GB. Thus, a whole cycle of Export-Import-copy takes about ~ 20 + Hrs.

  I want to try another option to reduce the time required for the updating of the database of PROD and which is "use RMAN backup of PROD ' and restore it on the data center server. RMAN full backup takes ~ 4hrs PROD and the restoration should be at the same time (new server has better and faster HW, storage with a SSD). I found this thread very useful on the Oracle Forms on this topic:

  Restore backup RMAN on another server

  This thread contains very good example for a restoration of database on the file system.

  I have a bit of confusion because my database uses ASM. The default location of the backups in PROD is FRA (on ASM == > db_recovery_file_dest = + FRA ). If I understand correctly, the RMAN backup must be in the same place where he was on the PROD Server - i.e. the diskgroup FRA.

  If I get a copy of the part 3 RMAN backup, how would I copy on FRA?

  OR can / should I just change the init parameter "db_recovery_file_dest" on the new server to point to the file system directory where the backup (say "/ ora_backup") and RMAN will pick up and restore the database?

  Please advise!

  Best regards

  You can restore the backup files to any location, then you must configure the channel using the "CONFIGURE CHANNEL device type disk format 'new location ';

  This thread will help

  Restore from a different location from the original location of RMAN backup

• Add the physical disk to SBS 2008 VM

  Hello everyone

  I installed VMWare ESXi server on my PC and then I created a Vitrual Machine (VM) by installing MS Small Business Server 2008.

  I want to use it as a main server and I want to attach additional physical contain hard drives that contain currently downloads and applications so that I can share them on the network of the virtual SBS2008 machine.

  I read around a bit on how to add hard drives to a VM machine. From my understanding, it seems that I can give direct access to the VM (SBS, 2008) on the discs, but they need to be formatted in the virtual machine format (vmdk).

  Is it possible for me to add or my NTFS hard disks on the computer virtual card without losing any existing data they hold somehow?

  Thank you

  Frank.

  You can only do this if you have disks that are a SAN (iscsi or FC connectivity) solution.  You can not simply to attach a physical disk to a virtual machine...

  the only way you can make available these readers is to have a physical box with them connected and spread then readers...

• Move the ASM disks

  Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server running Oracle Enterprise Database 11.2.0.2
  
  This server was supposed to be an isolated system, which can be moved to another location...
  the person who took leave, and now they want to move...
  
  I started to go into the config and discovered that it didn't load basic disks to ASM data on local hard drives that were bought for her. they were loaded in our SAN storage...
  I need to move the disks local ASM of our SAN to hard drives...
  
  NOTE: The space used is small... but more than the local disk space is space on the SAN... If the size of the readers will have to be reduced...
  
  I probably just format and will load another server and export/import data...
  But I was currious if there was a way to move a disk partition ASM disks to another...
