Sublevels in the Compellent

Looking at my "Storage Types", I see that my two sub-levels in Tier3 is soon running out of disk space.

My "Raid 6, Fast" and "Raid 6, standard" will soon run out.

My question is, will the HDS, the use of disk space allocated to the sublevels of Raid 10 in the same pane rather?
Or to the compellent system will automatically assign blocks more than necessary? (I have a lot of space unallocated for the moment)

Or how does get around that?

RAID-6, Fast"will be always full and data will be pushed in and out of this title 'reserved' during the Progression of data.

If it is not allocated disk space in this layer then the system will add more space for the Standard pool as needed. The R10 and R5/6 pools expand and contract automatically based on the use of the San.  If you need a lot of space quickly in a specific component (like design injesting a new level 3 file server and then leave a new written hit level 1 then progress down) you can contact Copilot and they can help to manually expand or contractors RAID pools.

In general, you can always contact the Copilot Support to discuss these things, and they can give you a health assessments of the striping of RAID and the capabilities of the pool. They are more than just failure solutions!

    Hi guys,.

    I am very new to the Compellent way of doing things and I was in charge of the upgrade of the current configuration to 6.5

    You must call assistance (co-pilot) and ask them to do a health check. Then they announced the update for you and when you think check again, it will be displayed. One time the update are done, ask them to make an another checkup. Since this is your first time, I would ask them to stay on the phone with you just so they can inform you about everything that happens through their secure console session.

    Even when updates are not service to perform, I intend after hours.

    Good luck.

  • Some clarification on the prioritization of the Compellent storage

    We is the migration of our shared since an old attached FC SAN to an iSCSI based compellent vSphere storage.  I had built a few LUNS to test, and now I want to start fast vMotioning VMware more guests to the existing LUN compellent.  When I made my first move, I had requested a profile of storage of low priority (level 3) to the LUN and then replaced by the storage profile recommended after that vMotion operation was complete.  Now I want to vMotion more VMs in the lun Compellent existing comments without the risk of saturating my SSD.  If I select Select the option 'Import data to the lowest tier of storage' in the advanced properties of the volume Compellent in System Manager, then invites him to the volume/LUN vMotion, writing will be limited to level 3?  Or is the 'import data at the lowest storage layer"only really applicable to import operations by an external device that is configured in the System Manager?

    This is my first Compellent installation so I'm learning the environment of the earth upward.

    If you activate the checkbox "Import data at the level low", all the data will be ingested at the lowest level possible. So if you have levels 1, 2 and 3 and RAID 10, and RAID 5 on each layer, your new information will be ingested to Tier 3 RAID 5. Once you clear the option, new data will be ingested at your highest level (Tier 1 RAID 10 if it is not full). And if you have the opportunity to fast track under license, then he's going to RAID 10 fast first, then Standard RAID 10.

  • Compellent snapshot for the passive copy of the database Exchange 2010

    Hi all

    I have the following Setup: A DAG with 3 Exchange 2010 mailbox servers, two of them are in the main data center and have the databases and the logs on the local storage. However, the third server is on a Data Center remote for disaster recovery and data bases, and newspapers is the Compellent storage. Of course, because it's my disaster recovery site, the database is a passive copy. However, the Replay 7.1.1.1 Manager Explorer is unable to see data in the section "Exchange shops". But if I turn the databases on this server, and then Replay Manager is able to see. My question is, how can I create snapshots of the passive copy of the database from my Exchange 2010 Server?

    Thank you!

    I confirmed that Replay Manager cannot do that; the reason? Dag have a database and are essentially sending for updating the passive copies of newspapers. Since they are not online and synchronizes the DAG status between servers backup will always attempt to occur on the asset. If only one of your copies of DAG is on an HDS, it will be a more serious problem.

    There is no restriction not to take a replay on passive volume all - except the same caveat that it will be not a quiece at the level of the BONE and being written in the log transactions is not valid. Unlike earlier versions of Exchange IS simply reject these that he committed the paper to the data store (if you try to mount the reading disaster).

  • Compellent Replay Manager and VSS

    Hi all

    I am a new user of Replay Manager and I'm testing inside and sandbox environment.

    I installed Replay Manager Services 7.0 on a physical Windows 2003 R2 x 64 server and tried to program in accordance with replays of the management tools Manager Replay--> all work perfectly.

    But this server is also supported by our company backup tool: Symantec Backup Exec 2010 R3. I noticed that whenever a VSS backup is initiated by BackupExec, a coherent reading is done on the HDS. Is this normal? Can disable us this behavior?

    Thanks in advance,

    Kind regards.

    Teo.

    Finally, I found the solution:

    Symantec Backup Exec Agent installed on windows system has a default setting to choose the right provider VSS: this parameter is 'automatic selection '.

    With this automatic selection, the agent chooses the VSS provider Replay Compellent, instead of the microsoft VSS provider service. And so, the backup exec task triggers a replay on the Compellent storage system!

    Solution: change the task parameter to force 'Microsoft's VSS provider' instead of 'automatic selection '.

  • Controllers of the asset

    Hello...

    We are doing a CEP for SC8000 Compellent. We use two SC8000. We noticed that there is only one active controller.

    Is there anyway to make two active controllers to balance the work load always load?

    We checked with our representative local dell, who helps us with the CPO, he told us that he comes to work how compellent. It will not balance the load.

    The second controller will be active during:

    -failure of the PDC.

    -the primary is no longer able to take the load of work (which may not happen in our POC because the load is not too much - considering the maximum load of a single controller can take).

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

    André

    In the Compellent Architecture, both controllers are active. Tipping is at the port or level controller depending on how the system has been installed. Volumes are 'owned' by a specific controller for the purpose of mapping on servers. Change the owner controller is possible - but it takes a volume down. The controller generates the choice of representation based on the topology of database it built from the connections to the server. If there is an installation problem such as a controller can not see a server, then it will not choose this path as a default option (this may also indicate a configuration problem since it is a double path - dual controller environment, you should be able to see the server from two controllers.) Views of the object of volume will be held by the same controller. So if you create a startup main gold and use Replays to deploy all their volumes start on 20-30 servers - will come from the same controller.

    It is possible to turn on a single controller Compellent to put an online system. If the controller that you turn on wasn't the front closure of the head, you may need to ask CoPilot to help you with the order for the promotion. Different versions of the firmware Compellent work differently in this case - its how is managed the half brain.

    We recently bought a SC2080 Compellent and while we wait on our FC switches, we try to connect to the compellent directly on a HBA Emulex LP120002 (on a R330 with windows 2012 R2 with MPIO enabled), in the Manager of the company, we can add our server and the Manager of the company sees the FC connections are up as soon as we add the server connectivity breaks down. is - this because the fact that a FC switch is compulsory or is it supposed to work (even if not supported)?

    Hello

    I'm still not an expert on the LMC.  However, this question comes up often enough on the internal debates.  Whenever the answer has been, you have a FC switch.  Direct attached Fibre Channel is not supported.  Never, 'it works but not supported.   There is a CML model that has SAS direct attach the stand.  SAS only.

    Without a switch I guess what mode FCAL.  It is in any case my suspicion.

    My suggestion is to open a case, make sure that home phone is time together, a great upgrade to more current SCO, until the arrival of the switches.

  • How can I change the appearance of the characters hidden in the code view?

    I'm talking about DW CC 2014.

    Use unicode characters

    U + 00 has 0 (nonbreaking space)
    and
    U + 202F (narrow nonbreaking space)

    Well, I don't want to use entities for several good reasons. These reasons should not be the subject in this thread.

    When I turn on "Show hidden characters" U + 00 to 0 is shown as a "°" in light grey.

    U + 202F appears independent of "see hidden characters." It is presented as a small black square with a cross inside.

    The font that I use in the code view is 'Source Code Pro', but the choice has no effect on what I'm talking about.

    If you want to reproduce this, you can just choose the wikipedia unicode characters:
    https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character

    In the big picture, fourth column.

    Two questions:

    1

    How can I do DW to hide the U + 202F, when I disable "Show hidden characters"?

    What are the config files in DW 'hack' that, please?

    2

    How can I change the layout of U + 00 a 0 and U + 202F?

    What are the config files in DW 'hack' that, please?

    Example: I would like to choose a different location for U + 202F because the "small square with the cross inside' is intrusive. It makes reading difficult.

    Thanks a lot for your help.

    If a developer or something from adobe reads this thread. Please take my question as a desire to feature for future versions of DW.

    This is a quality characteristic, when different types of spaces are supported.

    Some of these spaces are very important for a typography exzellent.

    I'm sure that someone knows how special characters are handled in Dreamweaver, but if it is controlled by an editable file or hidden deep in the bowels of the software, only an Adobe engineer is likely to know.

    Public information on the integration of media in Dreamweaver are in this blog post from Dreamweaver: next generation of Dreamweaver: Adobe Dreamweaver Team Blog.

    I feel that the idea is to combine the best features of media with Dreamweaver. As the blog post suggests, there will be a public beta. When that happens, people will have the opportunity to say what they do and don't like. If enough people make the compelling case for X or Y, there is a chance it could be implemented (or maybe not).

  • Path to script and automate the vmkfstools command?

    Very long story short, running vSphere 5, I need a way to execute the command 'vmkfstools y 60' against my stores of data to recover free space on my table of Compellent SAN.

    This article explains the command and the object: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2014849

    From one or more hosts, I so need to go into each VMFS data store and run the command "vmkfstools y XX" to reclaim space. Otherwise the Compellent table see SVMotion jobs and snapshots as "new entries" and never release the free space.

    To automate this, I would use PowerCLI and maybe just run the script as a scheduled my vSphere Server task.

    I understand also the VMA device can do this kind of stuff, but I don't understand how to automate/schedule tasks with it more I prefer using PowerCLI.

    Anyway, sorry for the question noob and thanks in advance. Any help is very appreciated!

    The problem is we use thin Volumes put into service on a Board of 3par, with T10 off Unmap (which is now the default) freeing up space by deleting a virtual machine or by a storage vmotion means space gets released to the VMWare/data store layer and can be reused by Vpshere but he is not recovered at the Array level , delivering a vmkfstools, writes a file in the data store removes it returns T10Unmap to the matrix, the 3par then and returns this space to the free pool. It works when we manually we just want until VMWare decide UNMAP turn automate it.

  • Maintaining the automatic numbering in the text variables?

    I have typeset manuals that often have several levels of headings in a single chapter. The editor I work has a style where the first 3 levels, or of the positions will be numbered, 8, 8.1, 8.1.1. No problem. Set up the paragraph styles with auto numbering, each title to another level added for automatic numbering, and it works like a charm. The only problem is that common titles are also supposed to include these numbers with the topics. The left page, the title of the chapter, is so good because I can just insert the chapter number before the current title paragraph style text variable: 8. "chapter title." But the right page must indicate the chapter number, first number of lower level and title (8.1 "topic"). When I use a text for this variable, the numbering created by the original paragraph style disappears from the topic. If I give the leader running his own style of paragraph numbered on the master page, it will always tell '. " 1,"even when the topic changes because there is nothing for him say to start a new number. For my current project, the first sublevel of the section change every 4 or 5 pages. So I'm hoping someone can help me find a way, I don't have to do it manually. Can inDesign keep autodial? Can anyone recommend a script possible or plug-in? All comments will be welcomed with gratitude!

    Thanks for the question. I saw this problem, but never had the need to work around him... until now!

    Variable text header running InDesign cannot capture the numbering of the paragraph.

    To work around it:

    Implementation:

    To create a character style to be used as a style nested within the lower level paragraph style. For testing and editing, assign a color of character; for use, change the color of the characters None or paper.

    To create a cross-reference format that captures only one paragraph Autonumbering.

    Create a character-style-based running header text variable to capture the reference; insert it into the master page.

    Use:

    * At the end of the lower level heading, insert a special character the end Style nested here.

    Continuation of the nested end marker style, insert a reference to the paragraph, using the single paragraph number format.

    The cross reference will be the color of the characters of the nested character style "fakednumber".

    The variable based on the character style to a running header text will seize the number of referrals.

    * For final hand, change the color of the style of characters fakednumber None or paper.

    Notes:

    Cross reference is placed at the right end of the paragraph of title rather than at the beginning, to avoid moving the header text. If he has withdrawal is sufficient between real auto-nombre of the paragraph and the beginning of the title, it would be possible to insert the cross-reference it.

    * Because the cross-reference occupies space on the line of position even when it is invisible, remember that it does not cause the line to be returned on a new line. You can set the size of character fakednumber style property as a very small, same font size reduce the horizontal scale, in order to minimize the risk of a new packaging line, as well as defining its color to None or paper to make it invisible.

    * When preparing a book for final hand, you can change the character of the fakednumber style definition in the Source of the Style file and synchronize it with all the other files in the book, or you can perform a search and replace across all files in Notepad to replace the instances found visible from fakednumber with the invisible style.

    * To simplify the modification of the definition of fakednumber from the visible to the invisible, consider creating two files of model to this end; one contains the definition of visible, the other contains the definition of the invisible. Load character style definition in the style source, and then synchronize the character on the book styles.

    Mission possible:

    * To simplify this task in the future, nag Adobe do running variable header text capable of capturing the numbering by filing an official request here: Adobe - feature request/Bug Report Form.

    *

  • Use of the nuances in Illustrator

    Hi all

    A few questions about a project logo, I'm working on: my client wants a picture of a balloon hot air, in stone, in its logo. He wants the stone to appear as a stone wall, i.e. several small stones in place to the wall. I know this is ridiculously complicated to a logo, but I want to have a go at it and see if it works - otherwise, I'll encourage them to simplify.

    So, what I managed to do up to now, it is to place an image of a stone wall and use the trace function to convert into vectors. Then I dragged the image to the Swatches palette to create a new grade, after which I will fill in the part of the ball with the shade.

    My first question: this will always be a vector image using this process?

    My second question: is there a simpler way to achieve this?

    My third question: does anyone know of a resource where I could find a free, simple vector image of stones or rocks?

    Thanks in advance for any input provided.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    My client wants a picture of a balloon hot air, in stone, in its logo.

    First of all, tell your client: "Wow."_FITTED It is original. Never heard of Led Zepplin? Iron Butterfly? »

    ;-)

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    He wants the stone to appear as a stone wall, i.e. several small stones in place to the wall. I know this is ridiculously complicated to a logo, but I want to have a go at it and see if it works - otherwise, I'll encourage them to simplify.

    Not really ridiculously complicated. Your work as a logo design is to simplify a concept visually.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    So, what I managed to do up to now, it is to place an image of a stone wall and use the trace function to convert into vectors.

    No way I'd do it for a logo. A good logo is brief, boiled down to its essence. not only in terms of design, but also by its construction. This makes it strong in all its possible uses. Automatic tracing is a last resort very amateur. No autotrace to create an original logo. Draw it correctly.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    Then I did drag the image to the Swatches palette to create a new shade.

    If you dragged the results of autotrace to the Swatches palette, you just create a shade of reason.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    .. .after I'll fill in the part of the ToolTip with the color chart.

    It will work if you go just for a very flat treatment, dimensionless (potentially annoying). In addition, however, you have specified Pierre, not brick. Who is the antithesis of a ground shade, who is just repeating the same graph.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    My first question: this will always be a vector image using this process?

    If the content that you used to set the Swatch template is only the vector illustrations, then Yes, the shade of ground resulting will be only the vector illustrations. When you use the autotrace feature, you have the choice to keep the original raster image. But once again; It is not advisable anyway, and I don't know why you want a pattern for this shade.

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    My second question: is there a simpler way to achieve this?

    Do not "easy." Look for best practices. If you are going to draw an appropriate logo, you know how use a program like Illustrator. One of the possible ways to proceed would be:

    1 draw a pattern of rocks, laid out like a rock wall, as purely vector line. Store as a symbol.

    2 use the 3D effect to create the geometry of the surface of the ball (or one of its sections of gore). Map the symbol to the surface, using the invisible geometry option.

    3. If you use several objects, 'assemble' look like the finished ball.

    4. the result is NOT the final. It's just a 'sketch' to help you spread the compelling geometry. Use as something to draw manually. Do the work of art. Then make his ways as simple and clean as possible. (This involves knowing how to draw efficient, tidy paths.)

    function() {return A.apply (null, [this] .concat ($A (arguments)))}

    My third question: does anyone know of a resource where I could find a free, simple vector image of stones or rocks?

    One of the main objectives of a logo is uniqueness. There is no way that your customer can really own its logo if it is built of clipart. A good logo has to be original.
