What is the best practice for disk hard extension for VM?

My client asked D drive expansion for 100 GB for VM is 2008. I have a few questions to this

1. can I use HDD for the extension (using the same disk and even Datastore1)?

Ex: D drive has now 400GB, if I add an another 100 GB on the same hard drive, it will go 500 GB

2. can I use different hard drive for expansion (creating new HARD drive and using the same datastore1)

Ex: Now a 400 GB drive, created the new HARD drive and added 100 GB using the same Datastore1


3. can I use different and expanded to different hard drive Datastore2 hard drive?

Ex: Car has now 400 GB, new HDD created with 100 GB of different datastore2

(1) Yes, you can use the same disc - and it will be expanded to 500 GB - you must use the disk manager in 2008 to extend the drive to make space available

2 & 3) Yes, you can create a new HARD drive and add to the machine and it can be on another store of VMFS data

  • What are the best practices for creating only time data types, and not the Date

    Hi gurus,

    We use 12 c DB and we have a requirement to create the column with datatype of time only, if someone please describe what are the best practices for the creation of this.

    I would strongly appreciate ideas and suggestions.

    Kind regards
    Ranjan

    Hello

    How do you intend to use the time?

    If you are going to combine with DATEs or timestamps from a other source, then an INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND or NUMBER may be better.

    Will you need to perform arithmetic operations on time, for example, increase the time to 20%, or take an average?   If so, the NUMBER would be preferable.

    You are just going to display it?  In this case, DAY INTERVAL in SECONDS, DATE or VARCHAR2 would work.

    As Blushadow said, it depends.

  • What are the best practices for a new employee to learn inside the instance of their business of Eloqua as efficiently as possible?

    We have companies everything changed at some point in our lives. And we all go through the process in the first weeks, where you feel new and are just trying to figure out how not to get lost on your way in the mornings.

    On top of that, trying to familiarize yourself with your new company Eloqua instance can be a daunting task, especially if it's a large organization.

    What are the best practices for new employees to learn as efficiently and effectively as possible?

    I am in this situation right now. Moved to a much larger organization. It is a huge task trying to understand all the ins and outs not only society, but also of the eloqua instance, especially when she is complex with many points of integration. I find that most of the learning happens when I really go do the work. I spent a ton of time going through the programs, documentation, integrations, etc., but after awhile, it's all just words on a page and not absorbed.

    The biggest thing that I recommend is to learn how and why things are made the way they are currently, ask lots of questions, don't assume not that things work the same as they did with your previous employer.

    Download some base in place level benchmarks to demonstrate additional improvement.

    Make a list of tasks in the long term. As a new pair of eyes, make a list of things you'd like to improve.

  • What is the best practice for a 'regular' Server VMware and VDI environment?

    What is the best practice for a "regular" VMware Server and VDI environment?   A single environment (ESXi and SAN) can accommodate two if it is a whole new configuration?  Or even better to keep separate?

    Enjoying inputs.

    Quick and dirty answer is that "it depends."

    serioulsy, it depends really two things budget and IO.  If you had the money for two without then buy two and don't have to host your server environment and the other for VDI desktop, their IO profiles are completely different.

    If this is not the case, try to keep each type of use for their own dedicated LUN.

  • What is the best practice for managing for results in doubles because of several sessions

    I work with PowerCLI 5.0.  I quite often find that I have a few sessions open at the same time connected to a server that hosts a particular virtual machine and vCenter.  I ran into a problem when I tried the cmdlet Add-USBController of VMware vSphere PowerCLI Reference book.

    The following lines are (roughly) in the extract cmdlet of the book:

    $vmView get - vm 'test ' | Get-View

    $vmView.ReconfigVM_Task ($spec)

    I got the following error "method call failed because [System.Object []] contains a method named"ReconfigVM_Task"" etc.

    It turns out that I was getting an array of vmViews for 'test' (instead of one), because I had a connection to the host and vCenter.  Once I deleted the host sessions, the script worked well.

    So now my question - what is the best way to mitigate this in my scripts? At least, I guess I need to make sure that I received only an object in the view of the GET. should I remove all duplicates? kill all other sessions when I run the script?

    Thank you

    Maureen

    The best method is to use the server parameter on cmdlets where it is available, in this way, you can limit the objects returned to this server for vSphere.

    If you have multiple sessions on the same server from vSphere open, you could direct the result of a Select-Object cmdlet.

  • What are the best practices for using Lightroom in two places

    Here's the problem:

    Photographer working weekends and holidays at another place with a second laptop (no).  Photographer wants to keep two separate but identical to the entire photo library copies and the catalog LR for safety.  At the end of a period of work at location 1, photographer wants to take all the changed files (some new, some just changed) and update the LR and the library catalogue to slot 2.  This could be done via the internet, but it is perhaps more practical transport changes on a disk "intermediary".

    Does anyone have an opinion on the best ways to do this?  Is there a way to just export (as the catalog) files and the changed files and then import it into a different location?  Manually copying files of photos that we think have been modified to run the risk of missing some.  Just copy everything means carrying close to 2 TB and this will also take a long time before each trip.  Not so convenient every weekend.

    Tips and ideas appreciated.

    Create a smart collection - published in X days. Select it and export as catalog, including negatives. Keep to the other computer and import the catalog to enter the catalog of another computer (or just open it directly). Reverse the process to bring things back.

  • Request for advice: generally speaking, what is the best practice for managing a paid and a free application?

    Hi all

    I recently finished my first app of cascades, and now I want to inspire of having a more feature rich application that I can then sell for a reasonable price. However, my question is how to manage the code base for both applications. Any have any "best practices", I would like to know your opinion.

    You use a revision control system? This should be a prerequisite...

    How the different versions of the application will be?

    Generally if you have two versions that differ only in terms of having a handful of features disabled in the free version, you must use exactly the same code base. You could even just it for packaging (build command) was the only difference, for example by adding an environment variable in one of them that would be checked at startup to turn paid options.

  • What is the best practice for the double management interfaces?

    Hello community!

    I'm upgrading to a few host ESX to ESXi 4.1U1 4.0 in the coming weeks. My question is about how to configure the management networks. Obviously in ESX 4.0 Classic I have a Service Console port (on vSwitch0) group and a group of ports VMkernel (also on vSwitch0) which provides my host with SC and vmotion capabilities, as we all know. Note: my vSwitch0 has two vmnic attached to it, is pending and is active. That's just how we have our double installation of switches, so it must be active / standby.

    I got to thinking (book the great from HA and DRS deepdive Duncap Epping and Frank Denneman), that I should consider carefully when my network mangement I improve these hosts to ESXi 4.1 - which of course done away with the Service Console and use the vmkernel instead.

    The question is, in which best practices and account with my setup: I have two vmkernel ports? If so, how should I configure each for traffic management and vmotion vmkernel?

    I think it will be a good discussion to have.

    Thank you all,

    Matt

    The NIC vSwitch0 value active/active, the vswif (and future vmkernel management) team of NIC Active vmnic6 and vmnic1 ensures and leaves the vMotion vmkernel NIC team as is.

    This will allow you to use two physical network interface cards at the same time while having a failover plan and keep your physically separate management and vMotion traffic.

    In the end:

    vSwitch: vmnic1 vmnic6 active, active.

    VMK (Mgt): active eve of vmnic1 vmnic6.

    VMK (vMotion): active standby, vmnic6 vmnic1.

  • What is the best practice for SQL Developer 4.02 on Oracle 10 g TNS connection?

    The basic connection is no problem.  But try a TNS connection gives me error "Test failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path".  I'm not clear on the procedure suggested in the Readme "to connect to an earlier version of the database using the thick driver, you must install a client 11g.  What is the exact procedure to "install a client 11g?

    Thank you!

    What worked to correct "Test failed: no ocijdbc11 in java.library.path" was as follows:

    'Use Oracle Client' is checked, with access set to Oracle Home path: file:/C:/app/myuserid/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1.

    It worked only after restarting 2 (?).  Claims that as a confirmation, tested in this case it is recommended that a simple solution.  Thanks to Jeff for suggest a way to work the problem.

  • What are the best practices for editing files .mov (output of a Ninja Blade ProRes recorder) on a PC?

    We recorded using our recorder ProRes Ninja, resulting in files large .mov (as expected). While my Mac laptop is capable of playing Quicktime files, my PC cannot of course. In the meantime, I create compressed copies of the files (such as .mp4s) for sequencing on my PC, because it is a much more powerful machine. However, I don't know how to use these compressed files affect the quality of the final product.

    I have to encode files .mov to a different output for use on my PC, is there a way for my PC read uncompressed files or .mp4 files will be sufficient for the high quality of desired output?

    Thanks for your help!

    For a PC, you have to download the Quicktime Player... Although I found that the best work, go ahead and get the Qt Pro license (bit less $ 30) seem to make the best out of my 1080 p mov files. Many users pc found here as soon as they have downloaded Qt, their mov worked well. So... you should be able to use fine as-is in mov codec after d - l QuickTime or at worst, Qt Pro license number is entered in your Qt player.

  • What are the best practices for use of GLOBAL Variables

    Hello

    Please guide how Global Variables can be declared and how they can be initialized.


    Further please guide what are the impacts of the Variables(if any) world on the memory of the CLIENT or the SERVER, if they are not initialized or released after use.


    Thank you.

    Kind regards.

    There are 255 characters (fixed) - or a less than before, don't know if they still are that length.
    My preference is not to use and use the settings or package variables. There is no real control of globals, so you may find yourself with an applications which has a good number of them which is used only once but which persists during the user's session.

  • What is the best practice for creating Volumes

    Hello.

    I have storage SAN Dell Equiliser PS 6000 model. configured with RAID 50. and FEPs 4TB

    1. I want to present the server 2 hosts 2 TB and 2 TB Volumes. is it good to put it this way or

    2. can I submit each Volume separately to each Vertual Machine... ???

    My friends said that method 1 is good practice.

    3 and I use the IP address of the host to present volumes it's correctly.

    4. If I use host NIC to present Volumes. so can I use the same NETWORK card like switch virtual or not.

    Please give me the urgency to answer.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Re: 1

    If you have a table of 4 TB, use all the available space on the table.  This will reduce performance long-term.  The table needs unallocated free space.  If you use replication or snapshots.

    Re: 2

    If you do not use a file system capable of cluster, then do not connect several servers the same volumes.  Each server has access to its own volume.  You can connect either using the hypervisor (AKA Raw Device mapped LUN) or directly from the virtual machine.  Which is known as the "Storage Direct".  If your server is running Windows, with this configuration, you can use the Host Integration Toolkit / edition of Microsoft (HIT / ME) to provide improved MPIO and better integration with SharePoint, MS SQL and MS Exchange.

    Addresses using IP is fine to control access.  It's a personal preference.  It is possible to make a mistake and allow multiple access to the server when using just IP addresses.  Or an address can be spoofed as well.  A safer option is to use a CHAP username / password combination.

    About your last two questions, I'm not sure that I completely understand.

    The iSCSI network must be on its own.  If each virtual machine or a physical host linking would have their own network interface cards.  Whether it's virtual network adapters or the physical network interface cards. With virtual switches, it should have devoted HW NIC and iSCSI traffic.  But those that can be shared by multiple virtual machines.

    Kind regards

  • What is the best workflow for longer projects with music?

    Hello. I'm just getting into after effects and WOW, I soak every tutorial I can. That being said, I wonder what's the best practice for working with longer projects. Let me give you a scenario.

    So, I have my HAND COMP with piece of music in 3 minutes I sync up to my animations.

    I create ANIMATION COMP 1 and drop it in the HAND COMP.

    So let's say that I want to adjust something in ANIMATION COMP 1.

    I switch back to ANIMATION COMP 1 window to make my adjustments.

    Problem: Bed of music is in comp 1 so I can't listen to music and make adjustments accordingly.

    The obvious solution is to simply create everything on 1 composition. But is there a way to make the MAIN COMP room if you change a secondary layout?

    Thank you

    The only sensible thing to do for a few minutes longer project to edit in Premiere Pro and make the moves you must treat as individual comps in After Effects. Comps are for the creation of pictures and short clips. Try to put 80 or 100 cups in a single cimp is not only difficult to treat, but finding the flow with the music of changes are almost impossible.

    If you want to get a real specific on all your production must begin before a single frame is shot. Shot a bunch of stuff and try to build something later are a very very bad idea unless there is no other choice. I did a lot of musical projects him more than 45 years in the business and even if you can't draw, just block storyboards will save you a lot of time.

    I hope this helps. If you remember that make you plans in an EA and you had it first and you mix sound in addition, you will be in good shape.
