• Upgrade Alienware 17 r2, graphics, memory and SSD; heating system and stops

  I tried to find information on the upgrade from my old system of r2 to Alienware 17 with new graphics, memory and an SSD, but I've been to find contradictory information on it, and if I would still be able to upgrade my graphics.

  My current setup is:

  Computer model M17x

  First of all, the graphics card can be improved and if so, should I go with?

  Depending on the type of memory I thought to install is:

  Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB DDR3 - 1600 PC3-12800)

  I heard that 8 GB was supposed to be the max, but that was only because it was all that was available at the time, the system was released and that others have used up to 16 GB.

  It will work or is there another suggestion?

  Thirdly, the SSD I plan on installing is:

  Crucial BX200 480 GB SATA III 6 Gb/s 2.5 "Solid State Drive CT480BX200SSD

  Still, I read the system never was not originally designed to support SATA III but if you use BIOS version A09 it would work.

  Is that correct or suggestions?

  The last two things I was wondering was that the system overheat easily and stops, to rebuild the thermal paste on the CPU and heatsink help correct this?  As well as to clean the fans, of course.  Or are there other options I should look into?

  Anyone know where to buy a new adapter power for this system as well?

  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide me with.

  Hello.

  First of all I would like to ditch the 620M processor, it's i7 below, you can get and dual-core only, not quad.

  You should be able to find an i7 820QM at a reasonable price, these days, 920QM or 940QM would be even better, they were the fastest available for this model.

  Once you have upgraded the CPU to something on an i7 720QM you can upgrade you RAM to 32 GB at 1333 MHz with no problems, if you want faster than 1333 you need to adjust overclock settings in the system BIOS.

  You have two HDD slots, up to any size SSD 1 TB plug-and-play (or to the more require very few adjustments BIOS) Firmware may need to be updated but also that it should be OK, just stick with an alienware used as Samsung brand, and if you can get one from the SSD slightly more older you might save money , you don't need a model 'latest and greatest '.

  Upgrade your GPU in the M17xR2 model can be a pain, the fan control is terrible and to really improve and play safely, you should probably use HW Monitor, so you do not cook your cards.

  Memory the AMD maps are more lenient when it comes to bi - GPU - I think remember me some upgraded GPU not X shot or SLIing in this model, but now is earlier in order not to forget.

  The M17xR2 is a very popular model, with thousands of people, the GPU upgrade - you can having to sort through the garbage to find the jewels but the info you need should be available if you do a search on google

  NotebookReview Forum would be a great place to start, 99% of the info you need should be there, the other 1% proably will be on techinferno.

  Guilbert - I still think that the M17xR2 has been one of the best they have done...

• Volume letter and empty file system entries in disk management

  I have a D: drive which worked well for a few years. Now I can not access the content. In Explorer, it says:

  D:\ is not accessible the file or directory is corrupted and unreadable

  In disk management, the "Volume" and "File system" columns for this volume are empty. Right-click the product volume icon only help and not the list of other possible actions (open, Explorer etc) that has developed for other volumes. The Status column indicates "healthy (OEM partition). In the graphical display of the drive, it says 94 MB healthy, as it has always done for this volume.

  All other volumes are functioning normally.

  I got appreaciate any advice on how to study why this is happening.

  Can post you a photo of the lower pane in the window Disk Manager disk of sky as a shared file and a link here.

  You can access disk management by typing disk management in the search box above the Start button and pressing ENTER, or by selecting Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management.

  The letter D is commonly attributed to a DVD player. DVD shows only one size when a DVD is in the drive. 94 mb would not be a size, so it might be referred to or used free disk space.

  Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

• RMAN to the ASM and network file system

  Hi all
  
  I use Oracle RAC 11 g R2 + ASM.
  I am new to RMAN, but I am trying to build daily tasks to do below:
  
  1. backup of my database to the FRA located on ASM diskgroup + FRA.
  2. at the same time I want to save my database for Network File System (NFS) to be taken by system administrators to an archive location that I can't access. Since according to my knowledge can't copy files to ASM for outside... so for this I'm planing to use the command format of the NFS mount point.
  3. on daily basis in the NFS file will be taken by a work (that I am not responsible for) to the Archive, and then it will be purged from this location.
  4. I am planing to have my windows of 15 days retention strategy.
  5. on every day, I am planing to cross check my backup and then delete the expired so that taken from NFS in the journal of the archives is deleted.
  
  The RMAN I am planing to run it on a daily basis are:
  

  backup incremental level 0 cumulative device type disk tag 'FULL_DB_INCR_LV0' database; -- this will be to the default location (+FRA)
  backup incremental level 0 cumulative device type disk tag 'FULL_DB_INCR_LV0' database format 'NFS/oracle/backup%U';--another copy to be taken to the archive location
  crosscheck backupset;
  delete expired backupset; -- this will delete the backups taken to the Archive location

  Now my questions:
  
  1 what good solutions? take account of the fact that I need backup on the file system of the operating system so that the jobs of system administrators take the backup of their archives.
  2. If a backup is needed, I use CATALOGUE START WITH to recover and then recover.
  3. because my retention period is 15 days, and the backup in NFS files will be deleted on a daily basis, so this retention will apply for backups in ASM, is this a problem?

  Hello

  Easy way is to use the tag. Find the number of backupset is a difficult task.

  Create a template for your tag with a date.

  You can check which backup doesn't have a copy on NFS using the query below:

• Windows patches and version files system web site

  Hello

  As I'm troubleshooting various problems, I want to know if the current version of a file system on my system has been patched already by a hotfix.

  I'm pretty convinced I used such a site [Microsoft if I remember correctly] a few months ago.

  I enter the name of the dll and obtain different versions / the latest available at the time.

  Can someone remind me of the address of this site [or if it is a must in my mind]?

  Thanks in advance

  Bruno

  I'm not familiar with a reverse like this search.  But if you know the hotfix KB number, you can open the properties of that Web site and lists the versions of the DLL that it could have installed, which you can compare to your own computer to see if you are updated.

• Trying to fix Chkdsk from freezing to step 5 of 5 during a scan and trying to recover bad sectors and fixing file system errors

  On this afternoon, I ran chkdsk to check and recover bad sectors and solve the system files and then frozen at 43% on step 5 of 5. I left it on through the night and I went to school and came back, she was still at 43%. Then manually shut my computer and since I tried to solve the problem. It was the second time I ran chkdsk on this pc having windows 7 generally run chkdsk every month or so to make sure that everything works well. After that my problem is that I tried so many things that I ran spinrite, I reinstalled windows, I tried to run chkdsk on safe mode, I tried sfc/scannow, and chkdsk/p and all these things has not fixed the problem. CHKDSK/p was the only thing that does not even tried to fix anything because it says invalid parameter. Also when I reinstalled windows 7 on my pc then chkdksk froze to 49% on step 5 of 5.  I even ran diagnostics from the bios and I use Seagate Seatools and two diagnostics says my hard drive is perfectly fine. I also tried running chkdsk in windows 7 cd and for some reason any he completed in less than 2 hours. I then ran chkdsk from the pc and then it froze again it made me think that there must be something wrong with my pc. So I was wondering how can I get chkdsk to complete my PC again once instead of using the windows 7 cd every time.

  OK, here's the link to the article: Windows 7 - How to fix bad sectors reported by chkdsk

  I can't update "windows" or "windows defender". Followed the steps described by Microsoft help, tried to download manually, have asked Microsoft to help (no response yet) these first two things didn't work. I even had something like; change setting.that message security came for "Windows update", I have change the security setting, did not just well, still nothing.
  Windows Defender gives me an error code that looks like this;
  Error Code 0 x 80070005
  That's all I can get, and it will not update.
  and on top of it, I've lost my "Microsoft Help and support (it) when I click Start and click Help and support, I get a (?) all help options or when I click on it nothing there is totally 'empty '.
  I have one more problem.
  I tried to defrag my computer, and I can't do it either. I get a grey screen and if I click on anylise or defragment, it does nothing, no error message or anything else. Tried to manually defragment Traore does not work, tried to load a defrag on the web program, wouldn't let me load it.
  Nobody knows what happens here? why I'm having these problems all of a sudden? I do nothing but send E-mails and read my emails and I do not browse the internet or enter sites that are safer. So, what can I do? How to make everything return to normal? can someone help me with this?
  Also let me tell you right now, I'm not an expert on how to do things on the computer, so I'm scitish when it receives or sounds complicated. I don't want to lose my entire system because of these unfortenate none of the work programmes.

  Hello shessy49, welcome.

  I would recommend that we run a SFC (System File Checker) first scan to see what he finds. Try this:

  1. click on START
  2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
  3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
  4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
  5 restart your computer

  ---
  After the reboot
  ---

  1. click on START
  2. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
  3. type "sfc/scannow" (without the quotes) and press enter

  If the question started very recently, you can try a system restore:

  1. click on START
  2. click on "all programs".
  3. click on "Accessories".
  4. click on "system tools."
  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  Let us know what happens

• CPU, RAM and disk, file system information for the data, logs, temp, Archive for database

  Hello gurus,
  
  How can we see what size of CPU and RAM for the database? According to the previous steps of this great site, I could able to do
  

  SQL> show parameter sga_max_size
  
  NAME                                 TYPE        VALUE
  ------------------------------------ ----------- ------------------------------
  sga_max_size                         big integer 800M
  SQL> exit

  Therefore, the size of the RAM for the database to which I have connected
  

  rootd2n3v5# ioscan -kfn |grep -i processor
  processor    0  13/120         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    1  13/121         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    2  13/122         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  processor    3  13/123         processor CLAIMED     PROCESSOR    Processor
  rootd2n3v5#

  The one above was the command give the OS level that I don't know what information he gives and what database, since there are 12 databases on this server.
  
  How can I get the CPU information?
  
  And where can I find information for information of system data files, logs, temp, Archive?

• Suspend file systems?

  I have two questions about this:

  I saw that there is an option when you perform screenshots instant, is recommended to do? Will it have an impact on performance on the virtual machine?

  Could "suspension" we do otherwise? In Vmware official course (ICM) there is a note that all i/o should be suspended by cultivating a VMFS volume. Is that correct and if so, how are you?

  > I noticed that there is an option when you perform screenshots instant, is recommended to do?

  Yes of course. It forces the OS invited to write all the disk drive caches, so you won't lose data.

  > Will it have an impact on performance on the virtual machine?

  Quescing happens when the snapshot is taken alone, so it does not affect overall performance.

  > Could "suspend" to do otherwise?

  Yes, e.g. Veeam Backup supports filesystem quescing via VSS instead of VMware Tools. And it saves me really, because one of my DC suddenly started refusing to take snapshots of suspended (reported in support).

  1. that costs on the settings in your config.ini file
  2. the host can use somethiong between 2200 MB and a few MBs - depends on config.ini
  3 the host said 'not possible' either the virtual machine starts - with extreme settings, you can allocate 5 x physical RAM available to your virtual machine

  4 and 5.

  vmsd-file = list used by the customer snapshots
  VMSN-file = settings and configuring the host when the snapshot was created
  00000*.vmdk = file does the actual data of the snapshot

  6. cannot be predicted: anything can happen: System can be will start more or healthy - so NEVER do this

  > Should I expect to use as much RAM on the host computer as the sum of memory configured all virtual machines of comments?

  again it depends on your config.ini file settings - if twist you config.ini for better performance, then the answer is YES

• What are the different use of ACFS and DBFS files case?

  Hi gurus

  I heard the OCFS2 and ASM file system sharing.

  Is there anyone Live Production, usage case of ACF and DBFS shared file system provided by Oracle?

  Can we all ACFS OUC DBFS sharing file system in the deployment of their production for a use case.

  Grateful if someone shares his or her story experience as if someone had faced problems or stability associated with this file system during the test or production environment is ready.

  Concerning

  Hitgon

  I don't see any use for DBFS. Just a historical anomaly.

  ACFS has any number of use cases, not necessarily related to a database. Encryption, snapshots and replication are brilliant abilities. Use it to replace all your third-party file systems and file servers. I use a public Webinar on this topic next week if interested.

  ACFS is coming: resistance is futile

• I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me I have problems with the file system, usn journal. ___

  I ran CHKDSK, the report tells me that I have problems with the sys file. I ran CHKDSK/F, it is said it fixed the problem but I ran CHKDSK again and it shows that the same listed the issues.

  Describe how you run chkdsk.

  That is what the report said: you have problems with the sys file?

  CHKDSK examines the disk space and use of the disk for the table of allocation of files (FAT) and NTFS file systems. CHKDSK provides information specific to each file system in a situation report. The report shows the errors found in the file system. If you run chkdsk without the /f on an active partition command line option, it can report errors because it cannot lock the drive. You should use chkdsk occasionally on each disk to check for errors.

  If you run chkdsk from a command prompt while Windows is running, it can report errors or it may not report errors - and it may report different
  Errors each time you run.  If this is the case, it could just be the way you run chkdsk.

  Here's how Microsoft explains this observation:

  "... CHKDSK may report that the disc is damaged, even when there is no
  current real corruption. This can happen if NTFS happens to modify
  areas of the disc on behalf of some programme activities that CHKDSK is
  review at the same time. To check a volume correctly, the volume
  must be in a static state, and the only way to ensure that the State is
  to lock the volume. CHKDSK only locks the volume when /F or/r (which
  involves the 'F') is specified. For example, you may need to run CHKDSK more than
  time so that it can complete all the steps in read-only mode. »

  If you run chkdsk from a command prompt, you are not the necessary static state and you can encounter errors "when no real corruption is present. This is how it works when you use this way.  Any changes made to a NTFS file system modifies the USN Journal.  If you are not in a static state, your USN change Journal probably all the time, so what you see (says something like that) can be quite normal.

  Two ways to ensure that you are in a static state is to run chkdsk from the Recovery Console or to schedule a chkdsk to run the next time that the system
  Restart by answering Yes to the question:

  Would you want to check this volume to be the next time the system restarts?

  If chkdsk reports errors when running in a static state, the errors should be investigated, resolved or explained.  This may take several
  chkdsk runs all of the issues and some problems cannot be resolved by chkdsk.

  If chkdsk runs the next time the system is restarted, the activity and the result will be displayed in the application event log.  Look in the Application log for
  Winlogon events and a source have the date and the duration nearby time chkdsk.

  It is in fact a chkdsk additional reading if you want to learn about it and it will explain everything you see and why your expectations exceed reality.
