A few DVR / Internet questions

I am holding off buying a WD DVR Extender until the release of IMG 1.9 (Bucks County, PA). I have a couple questions about using external storage:
1. In what format (.avi, .ts, .mpg, etc) are the recordings ?
2. Can the recordings be off-loaded to my computer for storage there ?
3. Will it be possible to move DVR recordings from the internal drive to the external one ?
As far as internet goes, I have 35/35 now and want to upgrade my wired network to gigabit. I understand Verizon won't issue the gigabit router unless you pick their top plan (150gb) which is mucho-expensive. Is there another way to achieve a gigabit network ? My actiontec router is fed with coax instead of CAT5e.
Thanks in advance,
Glenn

As far as moving the expander drive, if I unplug it and hook it to my computer will that mysteriously cause it to self-destruct ? Why would this require my DVR to re-format again after hooking it back up ?
I'm trying to understand - that's all. I see you're a "Gold Contributor" but does that mean you work for Verizon ?
You misunderstood my statement. If you hooked the drive up to a DIFFERENT DVR it would have to be re-formatted (the content is coded somehow to the specific DVR on which it was formatted).
And no I am not a Verizon employee. Being a gold contributor just means I have been here a while (since the forum started), been helpful in trying to answer users questions, and in general help other subscribers. That is also why I was one of the first group invited to be a part of the group known as CL (Community Leaders) - a recognition for a fellow subscriber's contribution to the community.
I don't know that any of the information regarding encryption, formats, etc. has been published on any of the public boards. I signed up for and was accepted into the beta test for 1.9 and was told by the developers during the testing that encryption and locking to a specific DVR were requirements by the content providers to allow the removeable storage. I have not tested or verified this just as I have never tried to to find a way to break the QAM encryption. If you wish to try and crack the sytem then that is up to you.

A few post config questions on new setup

Hi Group,
Just a few post config questions.
First, how can I confirm my controller is in fact associating properly with an NTP server? On a typically cisco product, I could just do a 'show ntp associations' or a 'show ntp status'. I cannot see a way to confirm this on the gui or command line.
Second, on my guest network with web-auth, if one were to choose to not use https for web-auth and instead use unsecure http, would that be possible and if so where in the gui?
Thanks.

The third field is from a WLC running v7.4 not v7.2. I usually would install a 3rd party certificate, but what eles you can try is issue this command on from the CLI. It had issues working with certain code versions, but you might as well give it a try.

Thanks,

FIOS TV/DVR beginner questions

I'm a long time Dish subscriber that is considering switching after 10 years to FIOS TV, but after looking around at other forums, reading the scant info that I can find on the various Verizon sites, and reading the Motorola 7200 DVR manual - I still have a bunch of questions that I'm hoping some of you could answer so that myself and others can make an informed decision. I've got the FIOS internet and am very happy with the 20/5 service - its solid as a rock and fast as greased lightning.
Signal My Dish HD is quite compressed, and prone to lots of pixelation, yellow screens, and audio drops - and also free of charge you get a loud pop whenever the channel changes from SD to HD signal, along with the unavoidable volume differences between stereo and Dolby 5.1 audio when the signal goes HD to SD. I'm aware that most reviews indicate that the FIOS HD picture quality is hard to beat, but I'm wondering about the various audio and video problems and whether to expect a couple of dozen instances per hour show like I tolerage now on Dish? A great picture most of the time can still be ruined by a bunch of audio drops or 5 seconds of yellow screen every half hour. Does internet computer usage deteriorate the FIOS TV signal if you have a couple of computer users on-line while viewing or recording TV?
Content Dish has a 100 HD channels, FIOS in my area (Portland) has around 100 HD channels, with over 90% overlap. Dish has NBAtv, Fox Sports HD, CBC-college, and ESPNWS while FIOS has Big 10, ESPNU, and more of the movie channels in HD. The big difference seems to be VOD, but I can't find any comprehensive info on it. The Verizon website boasts of 11,000 monthly titles (8500 free), but you have to have some sort of user password to see the VOD choices on-line. I don't get the "monthly" thing either, seems like it would just be a growing VOD library that accumulates more titles, but the monthly thing makes it sound like some stuff disappears from VOD over time. Does the free VOD includes the recent movies, etc. or is all that stuff Pay per View and the free stuff is all kickboxing and fishing shows? Does anyone have a way for a non-FIOS TV subscriber to get a look at the list? The Verizon site just shows you a couple of titles and doesn't say whether they are free or PPV so it is hard to figure out whether VOD is something that I would use or not.
DVR's I currently have a 60 hour HD triple tuner ( 2 SAT, one OTA) Dish DVR (722) that I think is considered one of the better ones available. Besides the large hard drive, the unit also has a USB port that you can hang another 500G external hard drive off of after a $35 activation fee. I understand that FIOS is not allowed to do the same thing with their DVR's because of the copyright issues with the content being carried over wires instead of beamed from a satellite, although some things I read indicated that it still may be something they enable at some point. The other big difference is that the Dish DVR has all the outputs "hot" at the same time - meaning you can drive a bunch of TV's, SD and HD, simultaneously. I drive one SD signal 300 feet and a second HD signal 100 feet. I know the Motorola units that FIOS leases can only output one port at a time.
I read through the manual for the HD DVR (Motorola 7200) but Verizon lists the same manual for the "Home Media" DVR (Motorola 7216) so I can't tell what the real differences are between the DVR offerings.
In order to watch recorded or live shows on more than one TV - do you have to have a box (STB) per TV, whether using the Home Media DVR or the regular HD DVR?
Is the VOD content only available via the Home Media DVR, not the regular DVR? Is the only other main difference between DVRs the remote DVR functionality (internet programming)? I know there are some other multi-media things, pictures and music, but I'm focusing on TV. I don't get how FIOS can call the Home Media DVR "multi-room" if you still need a STB for other TV's, isn't that the same whether using a regular DVR or the Home Media DVR? Does anyone have a link to the actual 7216 manual?
How easy is it to change the output port? Is it a quick software change? My thinking is that if I hooked up a TV to HDMI, another to component, and maybe one to SD - how clunky is it to switch the output so that someone could watch TV1,2 or 3 (one at a time, of course). I'm also assuming that the audio ports will all work simultaneously so that one could send the video to HDMI, for example, and the audio to a receiver. So I think its only the video that is limited to a single output.
Does either DVR have an Over the Air digital antenna input?
Is the remote control RF or IR? Does it have the all important 30 second Forward skip button and 10 second Back skip button?
How long is the guide, a week, 2 weeks, etc?
I couldn't find much in either the manuals or the verizon website about the Interactive Media Guide. Is the VOD included in search functions? Are there TIVO like "season passes" and the ability to find and record new episodes of a show, etc.?
Are there any good reviews of the DVRs, the Interactive Media Guide, or something with more detail than Verizon's sketchy descriptions or the lousy 7200 manual?
I realize a lot of my DVR questions could be answered by proper documentation on the 7216 and the Interactive Media guide, so if someone has a link to detailed info on these items, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks for any help you can provide. I've spent a lot of time and effort getting my Dish system all figured out and the way I like it, but the quality issues and cost have me exploring options.

Does FIOS internet usage affect FIOS TV signal quality? (I have 20/5 service). Negative. The FiOS signal itself is only affected by physical damage and or equipment failure on our network equipment. Now if you you are talking inside of your house signal(there is a difference). VOD on FiOS is a strictly data service and is very bandwidth intensive due to the large size of the file itself. That is why we recommend you only watch one HDVOD at a time as the MOCA network in your house can't really handle two running at the same time with 100% QoS. So if I understand you correctly, VOD could be affected by heavy home network useage (or simultaneous VOD requests) but DVR recordings or live TVnot, or just less likely? That is correct. VOD services can be affected by heavy home data network useage. The live TV and subsequent recordings made of the liveTV to a DVR will not be affected by heavy home network useage.
Are there any futher plans for external hard drives and/or the HD DVR's to talk with each other? My manager has informed we are actively researching a solution to this problem. When or if anything will come of the research has yet to be seen.
How hard is it to switch outputs on the DVR (I'm assuming it is a software menu change)? Could it be programmed into a learning remote (keystroke macro) so that you hit one button for TV1, another for TV2, etc.? Last time i checked this was IMG 1.3. At that time all of the outputs were consistently on. There is no switching the output like there is switching a tuner on a TiVO. When i tested this in my video lab i hooked up a QIP6416 via HDMI and Component. Each output would show the same channel on either input ont the TV. Each output will only display whatever channel you have the STB currently tuned to. If this is not what you mean feel free to correct me. That is what I mean, my current config is one DVR hooked to SD TV1 via cable, HD TV2 via HDMI, and HD TV3 via component - and all three get signal simultaneously. I was told by a FIOS tech that only one output is "hot" at a time on the FIOS DVR. I understand that you can't watch channel X on TV1 and channel Y on TV2 simultaneously, but I'm wondering if you can watch channel X on TV1,2, etc. I went and tested on our QIP6416 model and unfortunatly you cannot only one output is 'hot" at this stage of IMG releases. From the looks of it the outputs are in a heirarchy hdmi ->component->s-video->composite->RF.
Can the IR remotes be programmed to run just DVR1 or just DVR2 if you put two in the same room (i.e. different code set for remote 1 and remote 2)? I note about 4 different remotes shown on the FIOS website, does the HD DVR have RF capability or will only IR remotes work with it? No the FiOS remotes are pre-programmed to work on every single FiOS STB. You could take your FiOS remote to another FiOS user's home and control their STB. Makes for some interesting fun. But it is all IR, right? The DVR's won't accept an RF remote signal? It is all IR.
Can channels be locked out on the guide so you don't see them, both adult and ones that you just aren't interested in? If you can lock them out of the guide, does that mean they won't show up in searches as well? There is currently no way to remove channels from the normal guide. We used to support this feature with our old guide produced by microsoft but the feature was left out of IMG. We have given the option for customers to setup multiple channel lists in guide format under the favorites option. You can set the guide button to pull up the first of those lists instead of the guide itself. You can lock the channels out but the titles will still be readable by anyone looking.
The "Welcome kit" PDF talks about being able to resolve timer conflicts for series, but I assume you can also assign priority to one time events and/or access a general recording schedule where you can manually resolve conflicts as well. Is that correct? Does the recording automatically pad sporting events with extra time on the end or do you have to set that up manually with each sporting event? Yes our recording schedule does will recognize recording conflicts. There will be a marker on the program in the guide informing you of a recording problem. There is also a section in the menu of the dvr that will show you the entire recording schedule with any conflicts. Yes you can set priority to whatever you want. No we do not pad for sporting events. That is something you will have do manually. Unfortunatly i do not see this changing anytime soon as it appears to be a limitation of our current guide data producer.
No OTA tuner in any FIOS DVR, correct? Correct.
The VOD descriptions say movies are "rented for 24 hours", but on the VOD list it shows a lot of older movies for free on top of the TV series,sporting events, etc.. Are these all just previews or is there a good inventory of free movies? In all honesty the free VOD movie selections are pretty limited and most of them are independent flicks or trailers. As soon as our HD on demand library is at an acceptable volume i believe we will be working in improving this aspect of VOD. The subscription based movie packages is where it is at though. The movie packages have pretty sizeable libraries that you get access to for free with the packages. Personally, i am partial to the Showtime on demand library(lots of good series). Please keep in mind though that our VOD library will change very frequently. VOD content is provided to us by the network that wishes to put it up. They can also will us to take it down as well.
I'll probably think of a few more, but that's it for now.

New Customer with DVR Capacity questions

I just ordered FIOS and was promised by the sales person that came to my door that a dvr that would hold 300 standard recording hours and 88 HD recording hours. I called verizon to verify this and I can not get a straight answer. I see on the verizon website the 2 different type dvrs from Motorola. The 160 GB drive and the 500 GB drive. I read many threads and even the 500 GB disk will not meet the numbers quoted to me by the sales person. The only way I know to get the recording hours promised is to add an external SATA drive to the DVR.
I have called Verizon 2 times and can not get any answers to this question. They can not tell me the type dvr that will arrive on install day. They can only say that I will get a multi room dvr and a standard dvr. I need 2 of these dvrs since my wife sometimes records 4 shows at the same time. I also tried to contact the Verizon installer to get answers and no response.
Can anyone clarify any of this for me before I cancel my order ?
Thanks

Probably not. At some point in the future when Verizon begins rolling out something called "Verizon Media Center" equipment, users will be able to get expanded capabilities. Unfortunately that time isn't here yet so you have fewer options.
Usually current initial installs cannot specify the exact model device, but only that the devices delivered will meet the order specifications. In other words, you will receive a DVR, but it may not be the latest or largest model. It depends on a number of factors such as what's available at the dispatch location, what's available on the truck, etc. Sounds pretty haphazard I guess, but it's really not all that bad. Besides, you just may end up getting the latest, largest whatever. It's a roll of the dice, but my personal view after about a year of FiOS is that the technology and performance are worth whatever "teething" issues one encounters. Others of course may disagree.
Things change once you actually have the equipment in your home. Then you have the ability to switch, trade up, etc., depending on your needs. Note that there often is some sort of fee associated with changing certain gear, especially if it's not defective.
It would be nice if each new order provided brand new gear with the latest and largest specifications, but that simply is not practical and is not standard industry practice. Sorry if you are not happy with this news, but it's the best I can offer based on the prevailing situation..

Internet question...

I would like to get an ipod touch for Christmas.
See, I live in a small town, where iPhone service will not arrive until late 2009...so until then, I would like to get an iPod touch. So...
I have a few questions...I do not think there is a wifi "Hotspot" very near my house.
I DO have a wireless internet router for my laptops internet though...will that work with the iTouch's internet?
Secondly...what happens when I am no NEAR a wifi area...like on a roadtrip...will I be WITHOUT any internet?

I DO have a wireless internet router for my laptops internet though...will that work with the iTouch's internet?
Yes. There is no technical difference between a home wireless router and a public wireless hotspot.
Secondly...what happens when I am no NEAR a wifi area...like on a roadtrip...will I be WITHOUT any internet?
Yes.

Activation - Error:Cannot store binary and a few other NWDI questions.

Hi all!
I'm working on the Internet Sales Application (crm/b2b) in CRM 6.0. The work i do is an upgrade from CRM 4 to CRM 6, so I'm new to NWDI.
I'm following the "ISA50DevExtGuideConcepts21.pdf" (since I haven't found a document for version 6), and have managed to add java extensions and librares successfully. I now work on the web-project and have started an activity to merge changes to stylesheets, and also added own mimes like stylesheets and images (.jpg, .gif). The files where added to the project folder (webContent in crm/isa/web/b2b) and then located and added to DTR through a refresh in NWDS. When I try to activate this activity I get the post-proccesing error in the request log below. This might have been caused by an image file renamed to .bak, although its recoginzed as an image in NWDS.
Questions:
1. Any idea what goes wrong? How should I solve this?
2. Can I check out or remove the activity to correct the problem? How?
3. I have a few Activities,already activated on the development server that I would like to get rid of. How do I do that?
4. I have a few Activities that aren't properly named. Is it possible to change the name after activation?

Macbook Internet Question

Hey guys, new Mac person here so if I ask an obvious question that's why. I recently ordered a new Macbook for school purposes and was wondering something about the internet connection.
My family uses a linksys wireless router for our computers. I was wondering if my Macbook would be able to connect to this router and use the internet off of it.
And if not, if the Airport Express would be able to connect and work with our main computer which is a Windows machine.
Please help me! Thanks!
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

"Yeah, I trying to make a point to some people that they think Macs use some form of Alien technology..."
Clearly they are - LOL!
It is the fault of ignorant people who think that Macs are not PCs. The industry as a whole as moved towards more standardization for the sake of manufacturing simplicity. Fewer proprietary parts means more people can use the same components.
You would never believe what I hear everyday at work about how USB and Firewire do not work with Macs and that there is no MS Office-like program for the Mac. One guy even tried to tell me that you needed "Apple-compatible" speakers for Macs - whatever that means.

NMH405 Impressions after the first days - and a few beginners type questions

Hi All, After some research I took the plunge and acquired a new NMH405 (I really would have liked the non existing "NMH400" i.e. no drives). I removed the 500GB drive and added two new 1.5TB WD Green Caviar Drives and set it up as Raid-1 After a few error messages and waiting for a very long time while the drives resynched I manage to get it online as z-drive to my vista system.  I played around with the built-in backup tool (I like it!). I tried the builtin player after having placed some of my iTunes albums on the media hub and decided that I did not really like that option to much. I then simply moved my itunes libraries to the MediaHub and used the iTunes application on Vista as a front end. That works very nice.
I have a few questions, probably showing my limited knowledge of network attached drives.
Q1. Are there any other way to power off the device than pressing the little bottom on the NMH405 (aka my NMH415!)? When powered off I assume the only other way to power it on is via the bottom again?
Q2. I have noticed the device is offline for ages after having either recycled Windows Vista or the hub itself. Why is that? And what can I do to bring it online in a orderly fashion? There must be a way to get that ugly red crossed NAS showing as green and online as a z-drive in "My Computer" a lot faster.
Q3. I reformatted the 500GB drive that the box came with, added it to Disk enclosure box and attached the USB to the front of the NMH405, after a while it said on the front panel that it had detected the drive and asker whether I wanted to import the content.  I declined that (partly because it was empty!). Now how do I access this drive? I would like to (occasionally) use it to back up files from my Raid-1 setup (you newer know what could happen there...). How do I use this USB attached drive? Also i noticed it did not show up in "My Computer" - actually "Computer" in windows? Adding it directly to my windows system it is detected instantly?
Thanks for any pointers or answers to enhance my user experience. I am still learning here.
best regards
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Q1. Your correct, there's only one button at the front for powering on/off. There is though an option to reboot the device inside the web interface thru the configuration > system option.
Q2. It really depends on how fast your network can establish a connection, a mapped network drive is fine but I noticed that it slows down the bootup or login process when you turn on the PC. What I did was just create a shortcut on the desktop (location \\nmh410\media) which points to my mediahub and did not map the mediahub anymore to drive z.
Q3. If its a fresh 500gb drive with nothin on it yet, then you would need to create a partition on it first by connecting the external USB drive directly to the PC. Check out this article from Microsoft about partitioning. I think an external USB drive icon will not show up on the PC since the external USB drive is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port. To gain access to that external USB drive which is plugged in onto the mediahub USB port, I just create a shortcut to \\nmh410\media\device . For backup you can use the NTI backup software that came with your mediahub.
Cheers.

Few basic SRM questions .......

I recently completed the SRM training from SAP and I have few basic questions and need help. Full points will be rewarded.
These are my questions and it is based on SRM 5.0 Classic Scenario with R/3 backend
1. Invoice & confirmation transferred to R/3 via ALE ? . All other documents are transferred to R/3 via RFC?
2. Based on the configuration, if the material is available in the backend then reservation will be created. Other wise PO will be created. For text items, PR will be created.
     a. Who (purchaser) will process the PR in R/3 and how it is processed?.
     b. Who (purchaser?) will process the reservation in R/3 and how it is
         processed?. Assume no sourcing is setup in this case and No MRP run.
3. How the vendor is linked to the Material or product category in SRM?. During the vendor replication from R/3, vendor and material/prod category link is automatically maintained?
4. How the vendor is linked to a specific purchasing org/group? Is it based on the prod category assigned in the org structure for each purchasing org or purchasing group?
5. How to do delta prod category replication?
6. How to do Delta Material Replication?.
7. Contracts and vendor list:-
    In our SAP training we created these from the browser. But in the actual
    implementation how do we create this?. Is it always from the browser?
8. Direct Material and Plan driven Procurement.
   Can we use catalog items as direct material?. Just for example - > What
   about Car Batteries that is directly used in production and has the inventory
   also. But we are using electronic catalog for procuring this item. Is it possible to
   order this as direct material?
9. How to replicate Plant. How to use DNL_PLNT?. Is BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL will replicate all the PLANT's and its locations from the R/3 backend?
10. In the HR system, which transaction we can view the org structure?

You can use the following three routines to download locations from the backend system and store them as business partners in SAP Enterprise Buyer.
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL
To get all the location numbers from each backend system that is connected
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM
To get all the location numbers from one particular backend system
BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED
To get selected locations
Previously, locations were not given business partner numbers in SAP Enterprise Buyer. If you are configuring an upgrade, you can use routines BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_FROM_SYSTEM and BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_SELECTED to check that the following conversions have been made:
·        Conversion of user favorites
·        Conversion of user attributes
·        Conversion of old documents
Routine BBP_LOCATIONS_GET_ALL checks these automatically.
Once you have run the routines, the location data is available in the SAP Enterprise Buyer system. Table BBP_LOCMAP contains the mapping information (in other words, which business partner number corresponds to which location in which backend system).
For more information, see SAP Note 563180 Locations for EBP 4.0 plant replication

A formal 'Hello' to the community and a few Arch-related questions

Hi guys.
As a long-time Genoo and part-time Arch user I finally made the switch to Arch complete. Since I've been reading here quite a lot in the last year I thought I could as well create an account (acutally I did that a while back but never used it) and say hello.
I've been running Arch on my laptop for about the last year. Coming from gentoo as my first ever Linux experience, Arch seemed the next logical step whenever I should grow weary of endless compiles and re-compiles (which is about now). I'm an enthusiastic Xmonad user which is why I'm particularily fond of this forum and it's Xmonad community. That's also the reason why I stumbled upon arch in the first place. So far it hasn't let me down once and I'm really happy with my (now 2) setups.
With a little help of some of you guys on IRC I installed Arch64 on a RocketRaid 2310 Raid5 a few days ago. It's running really smooth and I'm quite impressed by the overall difference (in speed and usability) of kdemod KDE4 to my gentoo compiled one.
For those interested as to how exactly I installed (there seems to be quite some controversy about the RocketRaid cards), here's how I did it:
1) Boot from the Arch64 install cd
2) Set up the environment for compilation of the driver:
- fire up the network
- edit the mirror file to my likings (a whole lot of German mirrors over here)
- blacklist the packages kernel26, ndiswrapper, ndiswrapper-utils and tiacx
The kernel shouldn't be updated unless anyone knows some magic kexec tricks from inside a live environment
The other packages somehow depend on the kernel package
3) Pacman -Suy base-devel
4) Download the driver package, unpack and make
5) rmmod sata_mv, modprobe rr2310_00 (The sata_mv module has to be unmounted, otherwise the raid controller will crash
6) Mount the raid drive and install
I did a manual installation since that's what i'm used to from gentoo (and since I don't trust the installer all too far with the whole raid setup) and the rest of it went pretty smoothly. I had to go for by-label uuid'ing my partitions though because they come in randomly on each boot.
I do have a question now:
Is there any way to conveniently trigger rebuilding the RocketRaid driver whenever a new kernel has been installed? I did create my own PKGBUILD of the driver from an old one that's in the aur so all it would take is to tell pacman that every update of kernel26 should automatically force-update the driver even though it's version hasn't changed. The alternative is of course to just keep compiling my own kernel as I did on gentoo but I'd like to not have to think about any of that stuff and just use the system.
Or, if anyone has another cool idea how to handle this, I'm open to that too.

I didn't think this was such a big deal. Also they way I did it, though working for me, is not the most elegant solution. One would rather build his own install cd with the driver included that then can serve as a backup system in case the raid driver is not rebuilt after a kernel update.

A few more Solaris questions

I'm sure this isn't the best place to post this, but I currently have a file server running Solaris 11 with a raid-z2 pool and I'm building a new vmware server out of some parts I've managed to get some good deals on might I add.
I'm building on a supermicro x8dt3-f board that has an LSI controller on board with a pair of xeon 5570's and 48gb ram. The processors and ram actually came from a sun blade that was tossed out for recycling, sadly the box had never been opened, but i got these for pennies on the dollar, so i'm happy
I'd like to move the current Solaris file server into a VM on the new ESXi 5.1 host and passthrough the LSI controller.
I've been reading, and reading and reading and i find the more i read, the more questions I have and the less clear some of the answers are getting.
First, from what I gather, Solaris 11 has only been added to the supported guest list in ESXi with the recent esxi 5.1 version as I understand? So all should be fine here? Can someone confirm?
second, i've read about issues with LSI controllers under solaris 11. Is this something that has been addressed in 11.1?
Third, trying to find the best method to conver the physical system to virtual under ESXi
The first thing I plan on doing is backing up my data from the pool, though it will be scattered across a few systems. Then I plan on exporting the pool to move the disks physically to the new controller in the VM. The question I have here, is will the share flags and permissions be retained when I import the pool? or do I have to redo all that?
But then, what's the best method to move it to a VM? The one document I see come up the most is moving a physical solaris system into a zone on another system. Can it be transferred to the global zone? Could I do a new install in a VM, and move the existing install to the global zone, import my pool and call it a daY?
Or do I dd the OS disk, convert the image and drop it into vmware, get the hardware working, and then import the pool?
Or is there a better way? Has anyone got any online docs in mind that may help specifically with this migration? everything i'm finding is scattered, maybe i'm not looking for the right things but I could use some pointers if anyone has suggestions.
I suppose I should note, i have it integrated with an Active directory, this is why i'm worried about permissions being retained when i import the pool
I just want this to go as quickly and smoothly as possible, with as little headache as possible. it's my home setup, so realistically it takes the time it takes as long as things go smooth

I know this may not be the answer you are looking for, but I think you are making it more difficult than it needs to be.
One other option is to leave your Solaris Storage server on the bare metal of this new beast of a machine you are piecing together. Then, use VirtualBox 4.2.6 which is support quite well in Solaris to run whatever virtual machines you where intending ESXi to be used for.
This way you have the fastest possible storage setup without the issues of hardware passthrough. And the fast storage now benefits the VMs running on it. Not to mention the other neat options now of running lzjb compression for the VMs. either using zvols for the VMs, or just virtualbox vdi files sitting on a compressed zfs filesystem.
As far as the LSI 1068E controller goes, their website only shows drivers for Solaris 10. So unless Solaris 11 has the drivers built in, you may not be able to use that controller. Believe me I feel your pain in this one.. I have the d#$$!est time finding good SAS HBAs for Solaris 11.1 and the few I did find had questionable drivers. Areca 1320 cards seem to work well, as do Adaptec 64xx and 68xx raid cards. LSI has a new line that supposedly works with Solaris 11.
My advice is to try a baremetal install of Solaris 11.1 on the new machine and see if you can recognize drives on the LSI controller, if not then use the 6 onboard SATA ports if that is enough for the drives. Otherwise purchase an Areca 1320 which is only like 230 bucks for the 8 port version. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816151116R

A few standards related questions

i've got three questions:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape/test
1. what's the deal with the footer? it seems like my
"containerwide" div isn't meeting the "footer" div correctly. but i
don't see anything in the code that would allude to that...
2. how do i get my rule/ornament, the one just below the
maroon bar, (reference:
http://www.accent-mg.com/agape
) below the header .png? do i use z-index?
3. once i get this all set up in css, is using a cms like
textpattern or expression engine much easier? i tried to use it
with a website that utilized tables, with no success. am i going in
the right direction in regards to xhtml setup to optimize use with
these cmss?
thanks a lot.

Hi theOne
Thanks for the reply,
I'll take a look at the CSS but I'm not going to be modifying the wiki-server on Leopard as there seems to be little point with the next release isn't far off. I'll be putting it to use when I upgrade.
Contacts - it's something i've thought about. The place I used to work at had Netscape Directory Server and Imperia (CMS), we managed to add a nice search feature on the intranet there which was always used. It would be great if it was easy enough to add another search button with that accessing open directory or something similar. We'll always keep the FMPro database though as I use it in conjunction with a few other DB's, so it's not a big deal. Integrating FMPro would have been handy for accessing a few of our other databases in one single place.
You are right, you can't turn off editing on individual pages or the blog/wiki. For me it would be great, as it would allow the intranet to be more of a group experience. If the company was 10 or 20 people then it would be an easier decision to allow them all write access to it. We are just over 100 in London now and that makes it more likely someone will get too button happy with their mouse. Still we have an easy to use intranet out of this, which cost us nothing so I can't complain. If we outgrow the wiki server faster than Apple add features we're not too stuck and could move it to Wordpress or similar. I am looking forward to adding podcasting and the mailing list features in the next release.
Thanks again all
Beatle

A few cross browser questions

Hello, I have been searching for results for sometime and
decided to come here to ask my question.
Now, I know these questions have been asked alot of times but
I have no good results.
My question:
Why does every website I make look Good in IE and bad in
firefox?
or vise versa. I can make it look good in firefox but looks
bad in I.E.
I mean I layout the design perfectly in Dreamweaver 8 and it
looks sweet in I.E. preview in Firefox and it makes me not want to
make layouts any more..
What do I do? And how do I fix this?
Currently I am making a "Liquid" Layout, using "%" for my Div
and Tables, and they seem to be ok in I.E. like I stated, but still
when I view in firefox, everything is to the left or off centerd or
just plain nasty.
Anytips? I got the whole Screen Resolution trick down, now I
just need professinal tips on cross browser design.
I don't have my site hosted yet so I cannot give you a
preview. I am sure you know what I am talking about as well.
I searched google and many forums (including this one) and
came up empty handed.
What am I doing wrong? Do I just manage the site as it is
even though that the website is 5px off to the right/left in
firefox and looks great in internet explorer.
I want to provide a clean site for both browsers with out
having them redirecting.
Which I can redirect one "If I.E." to a page, and redirect FF
to a diffrent. But that's a hassel in my view.
Seriously, what do I do?
Thank you for your time and any response.

As Jo mentioned, it would be too hard to give you advice on
your page
without seeing the code (or even better a live version).
The better approach is to design for Firefox and then fix the
errors that
are produced in IE.
Are you using a full doc type? That is important, because if
not, then IE
will go into quirks mode, thinking it is rendering your page
correctly, but
FFox will show it out of wack.....
are you using divs of 'layers' (absolutely positioned divs)?
As you can see there are many things that may be wrong with
your site- so
without seeing it, it's too difficult to offer specific
advice.
Have you been through the css tutorials at the Adobe site
(link in my
sig)..... they are very helpful - starting with beginner
tutorials and
moving on from there.

A few "maybe" simple questions

I am using Dreamweaver for a few sites and having some problems.
1. For this website http://holtzenwoodwork.com It was built using netopia e site builder and has .nxg file extensions.. No matter what I do pictures will not show up in DW.. Anyone used these extensions before?
2. http://www.faxtopia.com/ this e-fax site is writen in PHP when I try to add any Flash content to a page it just shows a Flash icon on the page not the actual .swf
I have much to learn maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

e-fax site is writen in PHP when I try to add any Flash content to a page it just shows a Flash icon on the page not the actual .swf
What did was add the root folder to site management.
The ngx stuff I will nee "luck" with thank you
Last question

       <form id="search_mini_form" action="http://www.rentons.com/cart/index.php/catalogsearch/result/" method="get">
    <fieldset>
        <legend>Search Site</legend>
        <div class="mini-search">
