Our oracle dev server has about a half-dozen copies of our production database that are used for testing various different things, each of which has its own db files backing it. It's a big pain in the rear end because they pull down fresh copies off production and overwrite the whole thing and it eats IOPS and makes backups suck. Is there a way to keep one master database and thing spin off test instances from it that only generate delta file, kinda like gold masters for vm images? this is on 11gR2

Hopefully this helps someone out because it has been driving me crazy. In Outlook 2013 with both imap accounts I was getting this super irritating behavior where I would mark an item as read, and out of nowhere it would cycle back and generally act super slow and lovely. Cleared out the outlook profile, re-added, same behavior. I lived with it for a couple months before I noticed that on the imap accounts in the lower left corner of the window there was this little FILTER APPLIED button down there. Clicked on it, found out that outlook is creating a default filter to hide marked messages on all imap accounts. Cleared out the filter, everything works fine now. Thanks a loving lot, MichaelSoft.

anyone have experience with these half-height PCIe to PCI adapter cards? I got a vendor that's trying to turn a garbage optiplex desktop in to a server because they need a PCI slot and I'm not too keen on that. looking at one of these

I'd throw it in an R320 so I can actually monitor and keep the thing up. Its so stupidly cheap that I might as well give it a try to see if it works, the bad reviews are mostly coming from people who don't know what a half-height card means.

e: the vendor is also trying to me charge $5,000 for that optiplex that's worth $750

we're getting new netapp hardware to replace our current old as poo poo and imploding units. the storage network is running on 1gig twisted pair and my boss is being cheap and poo poo and not forking up the money 10gig switches like I need and making me limp along with the old poo poo. our bottleneck has always been the old units disk and never the network links getting saturated, but that's about to invert. how does vmware handle saturation of the storage fabric when the disk still has capacity? I'm hoping I can aggregate together enough interfaces to get 6gig total (currently only 2) but thats nothing compared to the 20gig minimum I would have from new switches

I'm currently expanding a raid array. When it's done will it automatically make the logical drive bigger as well or do I need to do that separately? Also what's the difference between expanding an array and extending an array?

this is the only place I know where I'm not embarrassed to ask this question

sometimes expanding and extended an array are the same thing, with some vendors expanding means you are adding in additional drives to the array which breaks parity and all that has to be rebuilt while extending involves dropping in a new independent array and the two are addressed as a single physical unit of storage. really depends on what you're working with.

Completely legal to use 12 phones inside your own home as long as they comply with tx power maximums. Its my spectrum and I can use it however I want.

I thought 5ghz had an effective range of 20 feet. Am I wrong?

5ghz won't penetrate walls as well as 2.4ghz BUT if you're in an apartment and seeing that much signal bleed in from your neighbors then odds are your walls are thin as poo poo and that won't be much of a problem. the lower noise floor trumps the somewhat limited effective range

the airport express I got auto sensed that it was behind the router from the att home gateway thing and automagically went in to AP only mode and I only run one data-heavy device at a time so I don't really care if its sharing an antenna for 2.4 and 5ghz. all the parameters I would ever want to screw around with were in the advanced options built in to my iphone and it was super easy to set the 2.4ghz channel because the noise floor at the far end of the house is crowded on different channels so it guessed wrong. A+ would buy again

Is there some known bullshit going on with ATT's uverse core routing? my first hop keeps getting handed off between maybe one of ten different IPs and at any given moment at least one of them is performing like dogshit with a 500ms latency, then a see a few packets dropped and my route changes and things are better again for 10 minutes and it happens all over. I'm seeing very few corrected frames on the dsl gateway page so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't on the line itself but something further on the backhaul. it's like they've overloaded their network and each router gets saturated until something adjusts to compensate but it makes anything jitter sensitive suck in the process

I have a server that turned over for patches this month and came up with a bootmgr missing error. vm on a raid array so its not disk corruption frmo hardware. I assume one of the users did something stupid that wouldn't take effect until reboot. all the data appears to still be on the drive but the startrep tool on the install media isn't fixing it. is there a different tool I should be trying so I don't have to go to tape to get a restore for the stupid thing?

yea think outlook would still index those items, returning us to square 1 tho

Exchange Search The ability to quickly search messages becomes even more critical with archive mailboxes. For Exchange Search, there's no difference between the primary and archive mailbox. Content in both mailboxes is indexed. Because the archive mailbox isn't cached on a user's computer (even when using Outlook in Cached Exchange Mode), search results for the archive are always provided by Exchange Search. When searching the entire mailbox in Outlook 2010, search results include the users' primary and archive mailbox.

We had to roll endpoint at my work last year. . . Overall it isn't completely godawful, but when it goes to scan it crushes the user experience (but from what I understand from a meeting I was in the other day, a coming update will make it shove its work to lowest priority when a user is logged in so that might alleviate the issue)

yeah, that kind of thing is why I stuck with nod32 for so long. user impact is minimal for realtime scanning and the post-update scans, and if you force a full drive scan for some reason even that isn't so bad. at least with SEP being free I can give it a go on a few systems and see how it behaves

I am retarded, so here's a quick question: is there any reason not to use a 64 bit linux for a VM? is there a magic amount of allocated memory where 32 bit is better?

processors running in 64-bit mode can only run 32/64-bit applications so if you have some crusty 16bit stuff you'd have a problem there, or your processor is 32-bit only so you have to (lots of legacy/embedded systems fall in to that category). for your use? no reason not to use it.

the pattern won't repeat, I'm p.sure you'll the same code a couple of times in its lifecycle. the clocks in those things have to be in roughly sync with the server doing auth so the expiration date is there so you don't use a device with a dying battery that is causing the clock to drag

if the codes never repeated, then you would be able to use previously generated code to reduce your pool of possible new codes as the device ages until it becomes wildly insecure toward the end of its life

its a bit stupid because its a cluster for a scada system and the vendor is picking the hardware (some kind of cisco server) and they're capping the per-host memory at 128gb even though it could support more and if I ask too much it means another whole host along with all the additional hardware and licensing costs
