SQL Server Backup and Recovery ChallengesSQLDBApros
There are many important things to consider when planning out your SQL Server backup and SQL Server recovery environments. We will introduce some of the common challenges in this presentation. Data change and file retention issues arise when using SQL Server differentiation.
Once the ‘Backup Database’ command executed, SQL Server automatically does few ‘Checkpoint’ to reduce the recovery time and also it makes sure that at point of command execution there is no dirty pages in the buffer pool. After that SQL Server creates at least three workers as ‘Controller’, ‘Stream Reader’ and ‘Stream Writer’ to read and buffer the data asynchronously into the buffer area (Out of buffer pool) and write the buffers into the backup device.

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
2. INTRODUCTION
Disaster
Recovery
has
become
an
important
part
of
todays
computing
world.
Where,
computing
has
now
moved
from
physical
servers
to
cloud
and
virtual
machines
(VM).
This
report
describes
the
solution
architecture
of
an
Availability
Manager,
which
is
capable
of
monitoring
the
VMs
health
running
at
a
site.
And
in
case
of
failures
of
either
the
site
or
the
host,
is
able
to
recover
and
provision
both.
Goals
The
goals
of
this
project
are:
• Monitor
VMs
health
and
capture
VM
statistics.
• Have
the
capability
to
take
periodic
snapshots
of
VMs
for
provisioning.
• Intelligent
recovery
and
provisioning
of
vHost
and
VM
incase
of
failure.
• Instate
proper
Alarm
Management.
Objective
To
build
an
Availability
Manager,
that
monitors
the
VM
for
failure
and
printouts
its
vital
statistics.
It
should
recover
and
provision
the
VM
using
snapshots.
The
Availability
Manager
should
use
implement
this
solution
using
the
VMware
Infrastructure
APIs.
3. Background:
• All
the
vHost
and
the
virtual
machines
are
managed
by
centralized
application
vCenter
Server
by
VMware.
• vCenter
manages
multiple
ESX
servers
and
virtual
machines
(VMs)
using
a
single
vSphere
client,
which
is
a
bottleneck.
• Therefore,
we
need
a
automated
disaster
recovery
system
that
is
capable
to
monitor
the
health
of
virtual
machines
running
and
takes
appropriate
recovery
steps
to
sustain
any
damage
at
minimal
level.
4. Requirements:
Functional
Requirements:
• The
VM
is
considered
alive
if
it
responds
to
ping
in
specific
configurable
time.
In
case,
it
doesn’t
respond
its
considered
dead.
• On
VM
failure,
first
the
vHost
containing
it
is
to
be
checked,
if
it
responds
to
ping
then
the
VM
is
to
be
provisioned
using
Snapshot.
• On
VM
failure,
first
the
vHost
containing
it
is
to
be
checked,
if
it
doesn’t
respond
to
ping
then
try
to
make
it
Alive
using
vHost
snapshot.
• On
VM
failure,
first
the
vHost
containing
it
is
to
be
checked,
if
it
doesn’t
responds
to
ping
and
trying
to
bring
it
Alive
fails,
then
the
VM
is
to
be
provisioned
using
Snapshot
on
another
vHost
that
is
alive.
If,
no
vHost
is
alive
then
a
new
vHost
needs
to
be
added.
• The
application
should
gather
all
statistics
such
as
CPU,
I/O
and
Network
for
a
VM
and
display
it.
• Snapshot
of
the
VM
should
be
taken
at
every
configurable
interval.
• Alarm
should
be
created
and
triggered
on
when
VM
is
power
off
by
User.
In
this
scenario
the
solution
should
prevent
failover
from
occurring.
• New
vHost
and
VM
added
should
be
monitored
without
re-‐starting
the
application.
Non-‐Functional
Requirements:
• The
solution
should
behave
in
a
consistent
manner
for
similar
use-‐cases.
• Threading
should
be
handled
gracefully
and
not
result
in
deadlock.
• Exceptions
triggered
should
be
handled
gracefully.
• The
path
chosen
to
recover
and
provision
the
VM
should
be
the
most
optimized
one.
5. Design
Architecture
Class
Diagram:
Below
is
the
class
diagram
of
the
solution
architecture,
each
of
the
components
are
explained
in
detail
in
the
next
section.
Components:
1. Availability
Manager
(AM)
In
current
solution,
Availability
Manager
(AM)
is
responsible
for
getting
the
inventory
list
in
terms
of
vHost
and
its
VMs.
Each
VM
is
identified
using
a
key
value
pair
i.e.
name
and
IP
mapping,
which
is
stored
in
distributed
hash
map.
The
VMs
that
do
not
have
an
IP
assigned
are
not
considered
as
a
part
of
this
solution.
Once,
the
list
of
VMs
present
in
the
inventory
is
fetched,
the
AM
does
the
primary
task
of
spanning
Health
Manager
thread
for
each
virtual
machine.
It
also
spawn
two
more
threads
for
virtual
machine
snapshot
and
vHost
snapshot
i.e.
Snapshot
Manager
and
Snapshot
vHost
Manager
respectively.
Total
Number
of
Threads-‐
• One
per
each
virtual
machine
in
the
inventory
for
monitoring
(Health
Manager)
• One
for
Snapshot
Manager
• One
for
Snapshot
vHost
Manager
6. The
Availability
Manager
also
checks
after
a
configurable
interval
of
time
if
any
new
vHost
and
VMs
are
added.
In
scenarios,
when
new
vHost
and
VM
is
added,
a
thread
is
spawned
for
the
new
VM
only.
This
functionality
is
achieved
using
distributed
hash
map
that
keeps
track
of
old
and
new
VMs.
2. Health
Manager
(HM)
Health
Manager
is
the
core
for
this
project.
It
performs
the
following
tasks:
• Creates
an
alarm
for
the
virtual
machine
using
Alarm
Manager.
Incase,
an
alarm
is
already
present,
the
alarm
is
not
created
again.
• Gather
vital
status
of
the
virtual
machine,
such
as
I/O,
CPU,
Network
and
Storage.
• Performs
ping
test
on
the
Virtual
Machine
and
vHost.
• Checks
Alarm
status
of
the
virtual
machine.
• Performs
recovery
and
provisioning
using
Cloning
with
Snapshots
and
Cold
Migration,
depending
on
the
failure
scenario
of
vHost
and
VM.
• Function
to
add
a
new
vHost
that
is
already
present
in
the
inventory,
but
not
added
to
the
vCenter.
The
Health
Manager
thread
is
specific
for
each
virtual
machine
and
monitors
the
VM’s
health
after
every
configurable
amount
of
time.
3. Snapshot
Manager
(SM)
Snapshot
Manager
is
responsible
for
maintain
the
snapshot
of
the
virtual
machines.
It
performs
two
main
functions:
• Delete
all
previous
snapshots
(this
is
done
to
overcome
resources
constraints.)
• Create
a
new
snapshot
4. Snapshot
Manager
vHost
(SMV)
Snapshot
Manager
is
responsible
for
maintain
the
snapshot
of
the
vHost
machines.
It
performs
two
main
functions:
• Delete
all
previous
snapshots
(this
is
done
to
overcome
resources
constraints.)
• Create
a
new
snapshot
5. Alarm
Manager
(AlM)
Alarm
Manager
is
responsible
for
event
and
alarm
management
of
the
virtual
machine.
It
performs
the
following
tasks.
• Create
a
new
alarm
for
the
VM
• Check
alarm
state
for
the
VM
7. 6. Property
Manager
Property
Manger
is
responsible
for
reading
the
configurable
properties
such
as
vCenter
URL,
username
and
password,
sleep
interval
for
monitoring
the
VM
and
managing
the
snapshot
interval.
It
has
been
designed
such
that,
even
if
during
the
program
execution
the
property
is
changed,
it
is
able
to
read
the
new
values.
Solution
Workflow
Design:
1. VM
Failure
detection
process
If
the
VM
doesn’t
respond
back
to
the
ping
for
a
configurable
period
of
time,
it
is
considered
dead.
2. vHost
Failure
detected
process
If
the
vHost
is
not
connected
to
the
vHost
it
is
considered
dead
irrespective
its
responding
to
ping
or
not.
3. Add/Remove
new
vHost
The
details
of
the
vHost
to
be
added
to
the
vCenter
are
configured
in
the
properties
file.
Property
Manager
is
responsible
for
reading
the
values
from
it.
These
values
are
then
passed
to
the
function
in
Health
Manger
responsible
for
adding
new
vHost.
Configuration
such
as
HostConnectSpec
and
ComputeResourceConfigSpec
are
used.
For
removing
the
vHost,
the
details
of
the
vHost
is
passed
to
HealthManger’s
function
responsible
for
deleting.
4. Try
to
make
vHost
alive
Health
Manger
uses
the
snapshot
of
the
vHost
to
recover
the
vHost
first.
5. Clone
using
Snapshot
Health
Manger
performs
cloning
using
snapshot
of
VM.
6. Migrate

In
case
of
failure,
what
is
a
good
approach
during
Disaster
Management
of
Virtual
Machines?
• Check
the
Host
first,
then
the
Virtual
Machine
• Check
the
Virtual
Machine,
then
the
Host
Answer:
The
main
aim
of
for
disaster
recovery
is
to
make
sure
the
virtual
machine
is
running.
In
case
the
VM
goes
down
because
of
failure
we
need
to
provision
and
recover
it.
In
my
opinion,
checking
the
VM
first
and
then
the
Host
is
a
good
approach
because,
consider
the
scenario
in
which
vHost
is
running
and
its
VMs
are
also
running
–
so
if
we
go
by
“Check
the
Host
first,
then
the
Virtual
Machine”
we
are
unnecessary
pinging
both
Host
and
VM
even
though
vHost
&
its
VM
is
up.
However,
by
using
the
“Check
the
Virtual
Machine,
then
the
Host”
approach
we
only
perform
the
ping
operation
on
vHost
only
if
VM
is
down,
thus
optimizing
out
calls.
Also
“Check
the
Virtual
Machine,
then
the
Host”
is
more
scalable
since,
we
ping
vHost
only
when
it’s
required.
19. Conclusion:
Built
a
Disaster
Recovery
solution,
that
monitors
VM
for
failure
and
recovers
and
provisions
it
using
snapshots.
