DISKPART

HOW TO HIDE HARD DISK PARTITIONS IN WINDOWS ?

Want to hide your hard disk partition fully in windows operating system ? There is a command available to do this task. It is “diskpart” command which needs to be used in command prompt to get the job done. This technique works only in windows operating systems.

Here is the step by step method to carry over it.

1.Type “diskpart” in run command box without quotes. (A command window will get opened)

2.Then type “list volume“. (Your hard disk partitioned volumes will be listed)

3.Now type “select volume <volume number>” – (Volume number is the numeric variable which is shown in the volume listing)

4.Type “remove letter <volume letter> – (Volume letter is the alphabetic character of the drive such as C,D,E,F…Z)

Thus your hard disk partition is hidden. If you need to resume it then follow the first three steps as usual and

in the fourth step replace “remove” with “assign“. I hope this technique helps.

Installation of PeopleSoft Internet Architecture on RedHat 9.0


The install will not proceed with an incorrect version of the WebLogic Server Service Pack. Make sure the correct service pack version 2 for WebLogic Server is properly installed prior to running this PeopleSoft Internet Architecture install.

1. Login as psoft user  and change the current directory to $PS_HOME/setup/mpinternet
   Start the installation wizard as

   $ cd $PS_HOME/setup/mpinternet
   $./setup.linux

   Note: If the setup gives some errors regarding jvm start the installation on console mode as

   $JAVA_HOME/bin/java –cp setup.jar run –console

2. Follow the instructions displayed by the wizard and provide appropriate values.
            Select the Webserver to use WebLogic/WebSphere, select WebLogic
            Select the web server root directory (/u02/bea), this is where WebLogic is installed
            It will display the WebLogic version, enter to proceed
                        Select the default profile : PTWEBSERVER
                        Authentication Token Domain: (do not enter any thing here)
                        AppServer name: (IP of the server)
                        JSL Port: [9000] 9000
                        HTTP Port:[80] 8080
                        HTTPS Port: [443]
                        Select the Report Repository location:  /u02/psoft/psreports

3. A summary of selected values will be displayed. Verify that the data is correct, and press ENTER to continue
    the file copy process.

  
Suggestion/Troubleshooting.

1. Psoft user must have write permissions to this psreports directory.
2. If the wizard displays error message saying that the required weblogic server not found: this is error due to
    invalid registry file in the BEA_HOME (/u02/bea) directory. Installing tuxedo in the same directory as weblogic
     will rename the registry file installed by weblogic. To overcome this error do the following step.

      Login as psoft user

            # su – psoft
            $cd /u02/bea
            $ mv registry.xml-old  registry.xml


Starting the PeopleSoft Internet Architecture

To start the PIA execute the following commands:

$cd $PS_HOME/webserv/HRDEMO01
$ ./startPIA.sh

Note: the HRDEMO01 here is the domain name provided during installing the PIA.

To stop the PIA execute the stopPIA.sh script


To access the PIA

1. Open your web browser.

2. Enter the IP/FQDN, HTTP/HTTPS port and site name in the following sequence

     http://<systemIP>:<httpport>/<sitename>/signon.html

ex.

     http://10.199.131.163:8080/HRDEMO01/signon.html
