Mounting VMDK In Gentoo

2012-02-18T02:29:02Z

Kyle.mott: moved Mounting VMDK In Gentoo to Mounting VMDK On VMFS SAN Partition In Gentoo

==Summary==
I recently ran into a problem where I had a drive go bad on me (lost everything), but I had a backup of the data on a 600GB VMFS volume, stored on a SAN. This article describes how I mounted and copied the data off of that VMFS partition using a FreeNAS SAN machine.

==Details==
===Connect iSCSI===
First, you'll have to connect your iSCSI SAN LUN to a device on your Linux box. Depending on your distro, your commands might look a little different, but it should be something like this (2.254.254.1 is your iSCSI SAN server, you'll have to do basic iSCSI Initiator configuration before this will work):
<pre>
iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p 2.254.254.1 -P 1 # Lists all available LUNs on the host.
iscsiadm -m node -T iqn.2012-01.net.domain.istgt:target-name -p 2.254.254.1 --login # Connects to the given Target on the host.
</pre>

Once you are connected, run '''fdisk -l''', and you should see an entry about your newly connected iSCSI LUN:
<pre>
Disk /dev/sdb: 629.2 GB, 629212708864 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 76497 cylinders, total 1228931072 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 1048576 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 128 1228924304 614462088+ fb VMware VMFS
</pre>

===VMFS Copy===
There is a rather awesome project (VMFS - Open Source VMFS Driver) which is completely written in Java that allows you to read VMFS partitions and copy data from them to a local machine (among other things). Please check out [http://code.google.com/p/vmfs/ their website] for more detailed instructions, but I had to do the following:
<pre>
java -jar fvmfs.jar /dev/sdb1 info # Shows some generic info about the VMFS partition.
java -jar fvmfs.jar /dev/sdb1 dir / # You'll have to go through a few iterations of browsing the resulting filesystem to figure out what file(s) you want to copy.
java -jar fvmfs.jar /dev/sdb1 filecopy /path/to/vmachine-flat.vmdk /tmp/vmachine-flat.vmdk # Make sure whatever area on the local machine you are copying the file to has enough free space!
</pre>

===VMDK Mount===
Now that we have the VMDK, you can mount it as a loop device, and copy the files from it. Using '''losetup''', it's pretty easy:
<pre>
losetup /dev/loop0 /tmp/vmachine-flat.vmdk # Sets up the initial loop device to read the disk.
losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 # Sets up the first partition to loop1, chained from loop0. Other partitions can be mounted, but you'll have to figure out the offset (-o 32256).
mount /dev/loop1 /mnt/diskimage # Mounting the loop1 partition device should now work. Copy images and unmount when finished.
</pre>

==Page Faults==
For some reason, once the copy process is started above, I keep getting page allocation failures. Note that the copy is continuing fine (and actually completed OK, with all data intact), so I'm not sure if it's anything to really worry about.

HOWTO setup multi application shared QCubed environment

2011-06-03T04:30:38Z

Kyle.mott: /* Details -- Application Framework */

{{HOWTO}}
[[Category:PHP]]
[[Category:QCubed]]

==Summary==
This HOWTO will describe how to get a multi-application shared QCubed Environment running successfully on Windows and Linux hosts.

==What is QCubed==
[http://qcu.be QCubed] is a PHP MVC framework originally built on QCodo. It allows for easy and fast prototyping of web applications, code-generation from data models, user-submitted plugins, and customizable framework classes.

==Caveats==
# You must understand PHP, MySQL, IIS/Apache, and have at least a little knowledge of application frameworks.
# Ideally, you've used QCubed before, since this will require quite a bit of hacking.
# This breaks the QCubed auto-updated utility. I don't need/want it, since I want to have full control over my deployments, so not a big deal to me.
# This process has only been tested on QCubed 2.0.2. No other versions are tested.
# '''This is especially not endorsed by the QCubed community.'''

==Filesystem Layout==
The filesystem layout below is only relative to the 'trunk' (in-development) version of the given web application. For your production setups, it will probably need to be copied around and slightly modified (but should basically remain the same). This was all done on a Windows 2008 Server machine running IIS 7.0, PHP 5.2.8, and MySQL 5.5.

===Notes===
* %APPLICATIONDIR% -- Is the web-visible location on the filesystem (absolute path) where my code-generated files and assets live. In my setup, it's currently set to "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\appl\appl-trunk".
* %QCUBEDDIR% -- Is the non-web-visible location on the filesystem (absolute path) where the QCubed framework files live. In my setup, it's currently set to "C:\inetpub\qcubed\qcubed-trunk"
* (d) -- Denotes a directory.
* (f) -- Denotes a file.

===Details -- Application Framework===
* (f)%APPLICATIONDIR%\index.php -- Index file, relocates requests to sample.php.
* (f)%APPLICATIONDIR%\sample.php -- The main sample file.
* (f)%APPLICATIONDIR%\sample.tpl.php -- The main sample template file.
* (f)%APPLICATIONDIR%\qcubed.inc.php -- Base qcubed inclkude file. Makes it so you can just 'require("qcubed.inc.php")' in your *.php files at the root directory
* (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\configuration -- The main configuration directory.
** (f)_LICENSE.txt
** (f)_README.txt
** (f)codegen_settings.xml
** (f)configuration.inc.php
** (f)error.inc.php
** (f)footer.inc.php
** (f)header.inc.php
** (f)prepend.inc.php
** (f)qcubed.inc.php
* (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes -- The main includes directory. This is where all PHP/JS/CSS/etc. files that are needed by the framework live. Includes public JS/CSS for plugins.
** (f)qcubed.inc.php -- Include file that walks down the directory structure to include the root 'qcubed.inc.php'.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\_devtools -- The devtools folder, where code generation and other stuff happens. Can be removed/limited for production instances.
*** (d)jquery_ui_gen -- jQuery UI Code Generation, '''not sure if this is needed. Need to double-check...'''
*** (f)_README.txt
*** (f)codegen.php
*** (f)config_checker.php -- Checks the config and if OK, redirects to start_page.php
*** (f)form_drafts.php
*** (f)index.php -- Main index file, redirectes to config_checker.php
*** (f)panel_drafts.php
*** (f)panel_drafts.tpl.php
*** (f)plugin_edit.php
*** (f)plugin_edit.tpl.php
*** (f)plugin_manager.php
*** (f)plugin_manager.tpl.php
*** (f)plugin_unattended.php
*** (f)start_page.php
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\assets -- The public (web-accessible) assets directory. This is a direct copy from the QCubed 2.0.2 archive, and must be present for any application using the QCubed framework.
*** (d)_core -- The core framework directory, direct copy. This is where the QCubed __PHP_ASSETS__, __CSS_ASSETS__, etc. point to (in folders under this folder).
*** (d)css -- Application-specific CSS files.
*** (d)fonts -- Application-specific font files.
*** (d)images -- Application-specific image files.
*** (d)js -- Application-specific js files.
*** (d)php -- Application-specific php files.
*** (d)plugins -- Qcubed-specific plugin files (global, though stored with QCubed framework).
*** (f)qcubed.inc.php -- Include file that walks down the directory structure to include the root 'qcubed.inc.php'.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\drafts -- Where generated form drafts are stored.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\formbase_classes_generated -- Where generated base form classes are stored.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\meta_controls -- Where generated meta-controls are stored.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\model -- Where generated data models are stored.
** (d)%APPLICATIONDIR%\includes\tmp -- Where cache and session info is stored.
* (f)%APPLICATIONDIR%\qcubed.inc.php -- Include file that walks down the directory structure to include the root 'qcubed.inc.php'.

===Details -- QCubed Framework===
* (f)%QCUBEDDIR%\_README.txt
* (f)%QCUBEDDIR%\_LICENSE.txt
* (d)%QCUBEDDIR%\includes -- The main qcubed includes directory. Defined in __INCLUDES__ in configuration.inc.php.

===Details -- Version Control===
One of my other main goals is to have all of framework files (public and non-public) under version control. This is easily done by creating a couple different branches in SVN:
* /svn/qcubed/trunk -- Where the 'trunk' (in development version) of the 'webapp' and 'framework' live.
* /svn/qcubed/trunk/framework -- The core 'framework' and associated classes. No code generation goes here, only plugins and base QCubed classes. Very few changes should happen here.
* /svn/qcubed/trunk/webapp -- The core 'webapp' files/directories needed for using the 'trunk' version of the QCubed 'framework' dir. Copy files from here to your web application to begin a new QCubed Web Application project.

Kyle.mott: /* Settings */

{{HOWTO}}
[[Category:MediaShout]]
[[Category:Lifepoint]]

==Summary==
This article is meant to provide a dedicated place where I can remember how I configured MediaShout 3.5 for Windows 7 X64 (64bit) using K-Lite Codec Pack, and QuickTime Alternative.

==Installation==
===Windows 7 X64===
First, install Windows 7 X64 and All Windows Updates.

===K-Lite Codec Pack===
Now, Install the latest version of the [http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htm K-Lite Codec Pack], and install it. Install with all defaults.

===MediaShout===
Install all MediaShout 3.5 Updates (should be at 3.5 build 742).

===QuickTime Alternative===
