• Error when you try to connect to a shared network drive by car on the portable XP from VISTA desktop: "not enough server storage is available to process this command."

  Hello
  I was able to connect ok in a shared folder on my laptop VISTA from my XP desktop computer.
  but when I try the other way around (to connect to a shared drive on my desktop XP FROM my VISTA laptop), I get the following error message:

  "The mapped network drive could not be created because the following error occurred: not enough server storage is available to process this command."

  Desktop is HP Pavilion a1410n
  Windows XP SP3 Home Professional 3 GB RAM
  Laptop is HP dv5z

  I would like suggestions.
  Thank you very much.

  Steve,

  Thanks a lot for the link to this article.
  It was most helpful.

  I also found this forum useful post:
  http://www.techsupportforum.com/Networking-Forum/networking-support/114373-cant-map-new-network-drive.html

  In particular, he said to check the event log of the computer that you are trying to connect to (the remote computer) to search for an event ID 2011, which would be entered in the time you finally tried to connect and does not.
  I did alt-click on the icon MY COMPUTER (from the remote computer) and the menu HANDLE, click the EVENT VIEWER folder (in the left pane), and then the SYSTEM folder under that.
  On the right pane, I found an ad for the event ID 2011 at the time wherever I finally tried to connect.

  To test this, I went to the VISTA laptop and tried to connect the computer to Office XP again, which gives a different error message on the VISTA laptop.
  When I went back on the XP desktop I tried to connect to and looked again to the event log, of course ANOTHER event ID 2011 has been registered with the new time of my additional attempt to connect.

  He confirmed that it was likely that the IRPStackSize was the problem, as your proposed article.

  Then I printed article how DO TO SAVE AND RESTORE the REGISTER to: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/
  then backed up the registry (both by running a restore system to register and by exporting from the top level of the regedit).

  I then went in regedit on the desktop in XP for the
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\SERVICES\LANMANSERVER\Parameters file described in your article.
  There was NOT an entry for IRPStackSize in the right pane, so I followed the instructions in the add - it and change it to decimal 15.
  I rebooted and tried to connect but still got the same error.
  The article said that the default value is 15, so I assumed that adding input IRPStackSize to 15 has not changed anything.

  So I went into regedit and changed the value of IRPStackSize of 15 to 18, restarted and it solved the problem.

  I found that the following articles is also useful in the resolution of this problem (aside from the one you gave):

• A very basic question about the shared storage

  To implement GR 11, 2 in Sun SPARC 5.10, our sys admins have allocated block devices in the shared storage and they sent us a letter mentioning the disks. This is what looks like their mail

  Not exactly, if you are referring to the names of devices...

  Each core will make a discovery to support when starting. When dealing with the LUN through one HBA (or similar), there is absolutely no guarantee that the nuclei will detect the LUNS in the same order and assign the same scsi device names to them. A LUN can be called device-foo-1 on a single server and device-foo-21 on another.

  In addition, several HBAs will be dual port and dual fiber running channels. So, not only is the same logic unit seen as a scsi device, different number of each core but you can see more than once. Device-foo-1 and device-foo-33 may be the same physical LUN on server 1.

  To solve this logical device name is required. This will be the name of the same device on all servers - and that it will support multiple paths of I/O to the LUN in turn seamlessly. This is done by looking at the unique signature of the SCSI - called WWID or World Wide nameof the software "special driver. With this unique signature, s/w only recognizes a specific LUN, regardless of what server s/w runs on.

  This s/w is called Multipath on Linux, EMC Powerpath and so on. I expect that you will have something similar on your servers.

  Scsi device that is mapped by the kernel to the unit number logic is not used. In the case of multipath , for example, use the + / dev/mpath/mpath+ devices. In the case of Powerpath, these will be + / dev/emcpower+ devices.

  What are the names of device you will use to 11g Grid Infrastructure and Oracle ASM and RAC installation and configuration of shared storage.

• Migrate virtual machines from HP G7(single host) for HP G8 (Cluster) without shared storage

  Hello

  can I join g7 to my cluster of the g8

  You can mix into clusters hosts all desired, even Intel and AMD at least that you enable EVC on the cluster (of course, HA or DRS require shared storage compatible/CPU). However, you need not to have even just cluster hosts to migrate virtual machines through vMotion between them.

  migrate web vmware machines without any downtime?

  Don't know what this "web vmware' but yes, because ESXi 5.1, you can use"enhanced vMotion"to live migrate virtual machines without service interruption from one host to another, even without shared storage:

  Migration with vMotion in environments without shared storage

  The usual vMotion requirements apply. Also you can only live migrate virtual machines from the old host to the new hosts because of different generations of CPU (and back as long as you don't have bike powered virtual machines on new hosts).

• Nested ESXi 5.1 and iSCSI Shared Storage

  People:

  I am unable to get my ESXi servers nested to see the iSCSI shared storage, that I put in place for them.  I use iSCSI for the ESXi host, who holds the guests of ESXi, so I have a successful iSCSI configuration to use as my reference.

  Here's what I have for the host network config:

  iSCSI targets

  + IP1: 172.16.16.7 (subnet for host IP storage)

  + IP2: 172.16.17.7 (subnet for storage over IP comments)

  vSwitch associated vmnic2 on NIC IP storage

  + Port "IP storage" group containing virtual NIC both ESXi hosts

  + VMkernel Port for iSCSI host connections: 172.16.16.28

  Here's what I have to config network comments:

  + The highest virtual NIC group of ports "IP storage".

  + vSwitch with only a VMkernel port for iSCSI of the guest connections: 172.16.17.38

  From the iSCSI host, I am able to ping 172.16.16.28.  However, I am unable to ping 172.16.17.38, and here's the really confusing part - I am able to get an answer ARP of that associated with the VMkernel port with the correct MAC network CARD!  This eliminates all kinds of potential configuration issues (for example means bad NIC, bad IP, etc..)

  The firewall on the host indicates the software iSCSI port outgoing 3260 Client is open.  Capture of the target iSCSI host package reveals no. TRAFFIC from VMkernel IP guest when updating to storage adapters.

  What should I look at?  The configuration of the host against the host looks identical yet we work and there is no...

  -Steve

  In the debugging process so, I turned on the "Promiscuous" mode on the vSwitch associated vmnic2 on the NETWORK card on the host IP storage ESXi and poof!  Everything magically started working.  The iSCSI traffic be unicast, so I don't see why promiscuous mode would be necessary, but I can't argue with the results observed.  Clearly, I have more to learn more about nested ESX, that's why I'm playing with it.  :-)

  How to make a server esxi storage shared among other esxi servers

  You mean like we use openfile on a windows or linux box to provied storage lun with free space on them, like that on ESXi.

  TAT is then not possible. But still, you can create a virtual machine set up all the storage, installing openfile or starwind, from there, you can give access to shared another esxi storage.

  or

  Installing vcenter

  create the cluster

  every 2 or 3 esxi, who owns the local data store.

  now install vmware storage appliance - through you can make use of all the local data store to be shared across all the esxi.

• Two hosts to shared storage? MSA2012sa MD3000

  Hello

  I work for a small company with a two ESX 4.0 host custer. I currently have a StoreVault (NetApp) S500 with 12 x 500 GB sata discs. It is average in motor for the type of virtual machines that we are running and the performance my end users need. In these difficult economic times we can afford a nice Beefy fibre channel SAS SAN. Since there are only two ESX hosts that need access to this storage, I was hoping I could get a MD3000 Dell, HP MSA2012sa, or similar. Can these devices be setup in order to have the two connectivity SAS for the same LUNS for vmotions and DRS ESX host? These tables attached direct seems like the best way to get a shared storage (2 knots) and / 3 GB/s sas and 15K. Please, share your ideas.

  I am part of the QA of VMware engineer and I was tested with the DELL MD3000 SAS and HP MSA2012sa with ESX4.0 storage array and all of them are listed in the HCL.

  ESX4.0 support VMotion, Storage VMotion, DRS and HA in the SAS of DELL MD3000, MSA2012sa HP and IBM DS3200 storage Bay.

• External partition problem 'shared storage' AT105

  I'm not entirely sure what the problem is exactly, but I can only download and install programs videos on the partition of storage shared my tablet.

  My question is, how can I get rid of this partition or how can I download on my memory internal or SD card. No matter what I do, everything I download or install is sent to the shared storage. I have a ton of free space that I can not access.

• Three computers networked fine then suddenly the error message «...» Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "

  I had a network that worked very well with three 2 computers running Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition 1. Suddenly, the network has just stopped allowing certain communications giving the above error message (I have another thread address with XP to Vista computers). The main computer with XP Pro, I'll call A, the second computer with XP Pro, I'll call B and third with XP Home will be C. All computers can share files and printers then without any changes to the system that occurred the following:

  A can access the documents and printers on B and C

  B may NOT have access to documents or printers on one, but access to documents and printers on C

  C cannot have access to the documents on one, but CAN access A printer and CAN access the documents and printers on B

  When access is denied error message is displayed:
  "\\A\My documents is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Not enough server storage is available to process this command. "(\\A\ being the computer that I am trying to access)

  As I said access from all computers on this network was working fine a week ago and there has been absolutely no changes made to the network. I checked the following

  1. workgroup name on all computers are the same
  2. file and printer sharing are enabled for all computers.
  3. all computers may been from each computers just denied in some cases.

  The firewall that runs on all three machines is AVG and there were no changes to the one last week, but I checked that sharing is allowed.

  I even tried to run the Configuration Wizard from the network on all computers to see if it works, but the same exact problems occur after doing this.

  I met this problem now THREE times. I can't believe that I'm the only one who has this problem and I can't believe that there isn't a solution for it. None of the Microsoft documentation has even a hint of a solution for this specific problem.

  I need a solution that closes completely the network at my church, and they cannot afford to buy printers and others for each of their computers.

  This error message is misleading. See article Knowledge Base Microsoft Antivirus software may Cause Event ID 2011 for a likely solution, specifying a value of IRPStackSize 15 on A computer.

• If we have 2 remote sites with the same shared storage, can we mount a drive shared on remote site?

  Dear Experts,

  If we have 2 remote sites with the same shared storage, can mount us a drive on remote site?

  • Assume that the oracle database is on the shared disk (for example HP 3PAR)
  • Primary Oracle server with storage as a common drive (storage shared on sites geographical apart) have all the files database.
  • failure, it is possible to mount the drive even at the remote site and mount the database oracle it?

  There must be no effect on the as it should the same disk that has dismantled master site.

  Is it a design valid ?

  • We have remote sites and want to set up DR. As we only SE pare data is therefore no choice.
  • We think of the SAN replication option.

  Have you ever seen / configured such architecture or design?

  Can you please throw some light on this. Thanks in advance for your ideas.

• OBIEE Disaster Recovery can be configured without CARS and shared storage?

  Hi people,

  As say the topic, I'm looking for advice on disaster recovery. What I find in the docs pointing me to the high availability configuration, or maybe I'm simply not find the docs I'm looking for. And it always points to the RAC, etc. of shared storage. My database is already configured to Dataguard and I want to do things this way, with a recovery site which isn't always upwards and a part of a cluster (although it's very well as long as the CAR is not involved), I'm looking for some feedback on how people do things. I have 11.1 now, but will be upgrading to 12.2 soon.  Just a straight stitch to the documentation would be useful if I'm missing just that.

  Thank you

  -Adam

  Since you have already configured Dataguard and in a DR situation, you will be switching/switch on your course in standby mode and it will active db. All this is fine. You can do the same with instances of weblogic OBIEE. You can clone your binaries installed using tools provided by Oracle cloning, or build binaries from weblogic with the accurate determination of drive on your Dr. use the pack of weblogic server and then unzip tool to archive your entire weblogic domain and it Unarchive in your prepared DR server.

  Now, you have to just challenge the hostname (s) of your domain to point to your database JDBC data sources and weblogic.

  To facilitate the task, you can change the host name used by weblogic to host alias that can be remapped in DNS during DR. Similarly, you can change the JDBC connection string so that it can automatically select the active database as long as you use a database instead of a SID service name in the connection string.

  You will need to regularly make a pack on your weblogic domain in order to maintain an up-to-date backup of your domain proximity. Similarly, if you have reports that are stored on the file system, they must also be backed up regularly so that they can be restored.
