What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

What is the recommended for El Capitan recovery process?

I just upgraded directly from Mountain Lion, and I see that my recovery disc has disappeared.  My recovery disk wizard is only good for Lion and Mountain Lion.  I searched Apple.com and found a complicated process by which I could use the Console and create a bootdisk with the option reinstall, but I can't believe that this is the recommended option for a common user?

So is time machine bygones?  I noticed that it is dimmed in the Menu bar?

Certainly, you can restore El Capitan as you would with any other version of OS X - using the HD Recovery. I have no idea why your Recovery HD disappeared. Usually this would cause by user error. However, you can create a standalone install OS X on a USB FlashDrive for emergency use. This has been an option because at least Mavericks:

Do your own installation of El Capitan using the El Capitan tool flash drive:

You can create an installer of flash of El Capitan via the Terminal drive. El Capitan has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ El\ Capitan.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath X\ "/ Applications/install OS X El Capitan.app.

Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

You can do the same thing for Yosemite by making the appropriate substitute for the installer in the above command line:

Make your own Yosemite flash Installer drive using the tool of Yosemite:

You can create an installer of the Yosemite via the Terminal flash drive. Yosemite has its own manufacturer Installer integrated that you use via the Terminal:

You'll need a freshly partitioned and formatted at least 8GBs. USB flash drive leave the name of the flash drive on the system by default, "Untitled." Do not change this name. Wait as the full process that will take some time.

Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder. Copy and paste the following line in its entirety in the Terminal window.

sudo/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app/Contents/Resources/createinstallmedia--volume/Volumes/Untitled--applicationpath/Applications/Install\ OS\ Yosemite.app X\ X\

Press RETURN, enter the admin password (will not resonate to the window) then press RETURN again.

You must have setup in your Applications folder or change the paths in the command line above.

In addition, to Yosemite and earlier you can try using DiskMaker X.

  • What is the recommended for this kind of application design patterns

    Hi all

    I'm working on a project that should look like a Tablet PC application, shown in the attached photo.

    The larger window on the right side should change according to which key has been pressed in the left vertical bar.

    My question is, how can I implement such behavior or is it a design recommended for this model?

    My first idea was to about tabs but this means that all controls and indicators are needed in the main vi who would make my code confusing if it grows.

  • What is the recommendation on the backup of a recovery catalog?

    While I understand "benefits of using recovery catalog as the RMAN Repository ' as described in

    http://download-UK.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmquick.htm#442214

    as well as things to note if you are using the unique control as the rman repository file,

    as described in "Monitoring the overwhelming control file Records" in http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96566/rcmrepos.htm#446924

    I do not understand why in Backup and Recovery Advanced User Guide
    http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B14117_01/server.101/B10734/rcmrepos.htm

    "Save often Recovery Catalog"

    Even if you need to restore the recovery catalog database by using a backup control file, you can use full backups folder in your catalog database restored recovery to restore the database target without using a backup of the target database control file.

    = > implies without doubt that we can use a different catalog of recovery we'll call it backupbackup to restore the recovery catalog

    "Choose the appropriate method for physical backups.

    Follow these steps when developing a strategy for RMAN backup to the recovery catalog database:

    * Run in ARCHIVELOG mode recovery catalog database so that you can do point-in-time recovery if necessary.
    * Set the retention policy to REDUNDANCY greater than 1.
    * Save the database on two separate media (for example, disks and tapes).
    * Run the base BACKUP of DATA PLUS ARCHIVELOG at regular intervals, to a Media Manager if available, or simply to drive.
    * Do not use a different catalog recovery as a repository for backups. = > This is in contradiction with the previous declaration
    * Set up automatic backup of control file on IT.

    so can I know what is the recommendation on the backup of a recovery catalog? should I use another recovery catalog to keep deposits from rman of the main primary catalog or simply use a feature of automatic backup of control file?

    Thank you

    To Catalog backup recovery, it is recommended to enable autobackup controlfile ON and save in nocatalog mode (IE without another recovery catalog).

    The doc States that: "even if you have to restore the database catalog of recovery using a backup control file, you can then use the full record of backups in your database to catalog recovery restored to restore the target database without using a backup of the target database control file.".

    What this means, is-
    The target database backup files are stored in the recovery catalog schema tables, not in the controlfile recovery catalog. When you are using a control file backup and restores them recover from the recovery catalog database, you won't lose target database backup files.

    Unless you plan to edit nodes and I would recommend that you use a Sax parser, which is a lot less hunger of memory as a DOM parser. The DOM parser to read the entire document in memory for the manipulation of the user.
    If you are looking only to read the document and extract specific values then a DOM parser would be an exaggeration. If you are planning leave the document unchanged then a SAX parser is the way to go - a little more complex to write but worth the extra as it will be faster and more scalable.

    Depends on hardware configuration required on later operating systems, and also find out if the manufacturer of the laptop computer is supported and provides drivers for operating systems later as to whether it is possible or feasible to upgrade or not.

    There is no free upgrade Vista to 7, 8.1, or 10.

  • What is the recommended size of repository to store saves the backups of ACS SNS-3415-K9, v5.4

    Hello guys, we need your advice :),

    do you know what is the recommended size of repository to store backups of logs of ACS SNS-3415-K9 (v5.4.0.46.0a software)?

    We intend to create an FTP server to record a monthly full backup and an incremental backup daily.

    We would like to consider the worst case in which ACS View Database is complete and a full backup is required and daily incremental backups.

    In the second period, we would appreciate really any advice on how to maintain, say, only the last 2 full backups and all the related incremental backups in the FTP server, is there a way to automate the removal of the oldest backup when a new backup is generated?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Rodrigo,

    Honestly, there is not a suggested size of space available to FTP/SFTP server used as the size of your backups of data base of progressive and complete view depend on 100% of the amount of newspapers ACS server receives every day, so what I would suggest to take a look at a couple of incremental for 2 consecutive days and would help you to determine what would be the amount that you need for a period of 30 days (one month).

    And associated with your concern if the ACS would supports the option to manually maintain the last 2 full backups view, unfortunately, it is not available as an option.

  • What is the recommended way to run a WebLogic Server in the background?

    I'm new to WebLogic Server and I was looking at the documentation. There are instructions for starting and stopping the servers under Linux, but they all seem to rely on the foreground process. What is the right way to run these processes in the background in a production environment? Is it just using nohup somewhere in an /etc/init.d/ script or y at - it another way I should run it?

    Meatwad,

    Of course, running the WLS process using nohup would put the process in the background. However, the recommended way to run the WLS servers on a production system would be to configure the node Manager and use it. Place the servers as a background process, it also provides additional features, that would be useful - for example, allowing the start and stop the console of administration with the ability to auto restart failed or stuck servers.

    For more information, please see the documentation.

    When upgrading from ESX 3.5 to ESX 4, I see/etc/ssh/ssh_config and etc/ssh/ssh_config.esx4.

    When you install an ESX 4 update, the file ssh_config.esx4 does not exist.

    What are the objectives for the two files?

    I bet the .esx4 file is recommended ssh_config file but in the case where you have changed your file ssh_config will not overwrite the installer - this is why there is no .esx4 file when you perform a clean installation, there is no file pre-existing ssh_conffig - you took a look at the two files is it differences - the two must be text files -.

    I use my MacBook Air as a desktop computer. Should I leave the charger plugged all the time or should I drain the battery and then recharge? What is the best for the battery?

    Keep the computer plugged in whenever possible.

    If you keep the computer always connected, make sure that at least twice a month

    Run it on battery until battery charge level falls to about 40-50%.
