Four steps to add a new hard-disk to a running Ubuntu virtualized session, using Vmware.
- Add the new hard-disk to the Ubuntu vmware image using Vsphere or VMWare Server.
- Ssh into ubuntu session and run
“echo “- – -” > /sys/class/scsi_host/NUMBER/scan”
NUMBER is the scsi host value. It will not hurt rescanning a running host, so I simply keep incrementing till I reach a scsi host value that is not created in the system yet.
- Do an “fdisk -l” and voila your new disk should be available.
- Do what you want with it! (Software Raid or create a new partition etc).
I had small issue recently in that the Netbeans 6.7 database explorer was timing out just trying to connect to my production database. Apparently the Mysql server needs to respond back within a few mili-seconds and there are no configuration settings in Netbeans to increase this timeout. Our production database has an initial lag time when you first connect, but it is pretty zippy thereafter (I suspect my cheap home based switches or my Windows computer).

A sophisticated automated data intelligence framework that can discretely crawl, analyze, process and integrate target data with any customer system. The system was built using sophisticated algorithms to gather data and appear like any other traditional web data on the Internet. The flexibility of the framework allows it to be customized to suit any particular need including: data submission, mining, data aggregation, change detection alerts (fax/e-mail/text message/phone). The framework can also be used in a “stealth” mode, to mask the framework’s originating ip and geo-location.
The system’s “personal action response” framework allows the system to be trained to respond to different events. For instance, it has been used to monitor a search database and automatically “submit” a form when certain results are detected. It was trained to recover on failure of the remote system database, so that it would always return the correct results for the client.
The system’s flexibility allows it to be trained for any type of trigger points, including submitting data/documents securely through forms or other forms of electronic gateways (fax, ssh, ftp, text,sms,ssl,etc). In essence the framework can be used for whatever the client’s business requirements.
The system has been refined over several years with project ranging from personalized action response monitoring to full Department of Transportation safety monitoring system for DOT Truck companies.
The framework can be hosted on any Linux/Windows platform and can be easily be hosted within any virtualized environment (VMWare Server/ESXi/Virtualbox/etc).
