A strange UCS upgrade story (N1k was the bad guy)

FYI
I would like to give you some information which caused quite a bit of trouble.
UCS with 4 chassis and 16 B250-M2, HDS storage, Brocade SAN, running 2.0.4d, ESXi 5.1.
We upgraded infrastructure to 2.2.3c and servers to 2.1.3f.
Due to some wrong setup, we also had to create new pools for UUID, MAC, pwwn, nwwn, new Template, and therefore 16 new SP.
After about 10 servers were updated without problems, the sh... hit the fan: moving any VM back to a newly upgraded server: no IP reachability (ping failed); management interface of the ESXi was reachable, ESXi properly joined Vcenter server.
This task was done remotely, from Europe to SFO (9 hours time difference) ! There was also no network guy available.
Solution:
Management interface was on a old fashion vswitch (what we preach since years ! otherwise a supergau would happened); all the remaining interfaces were on N1k DVS.
N1k licensing: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/switches/nexus-1000v-switch-vmware-vsphere/116257-trouble-uuid-vsm-00.html
Nexus 1000v VSM and Host UUID Changes
The VSM of a Nexus 1000v switch issues licensing to hosts based on the universally unique identifier (UUID) of the hardware. This means that, if a host UUID changes for whatever reason, it is viewed as a new host by the VSM. While it is unusual for a host UUID to change during its lifetime, Cisco is aware of two situations that can cause a UUID change - a VMware software defect in ESXi 5.0 and a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) firmware defect on M3 blades.
When the UUID changes, the VSM sees the previously loaded module as a new host. The host is loaded as a new module and assigned a new module number and new license. If no licenses are available, the host is assigned an overdraft license; if there are no overdrafts available, the host is not assigned a license at all. If there are production virtual machines (VMs) on this host, they can no longer pass traffic, because unlicensed hosts cannot receive programming from the VSM.

I personally like the extra beeps, as you know the USB devices are working.
But MSI could had made an effort and document it, as many people get worried over nothing.
Anyway, glad you tested it and it was the USB beeps

    After resetting my account password, I realized that the bad guy who broke into my account may have my order number or even credit card information. This means he may break in again to change my password.
    Is there a way to stop the system from reseting password with order number and credit card information? Thanks a lot!

    When I take the same approach and run the process from a main method in a standalone program it sends a mail successfully. Any idea why this is breaking with in the App Server or what this error message means?
    The following is a summary of my code to send the email...
    Properties props = new Properties();
    props.put( "mail.smtp.host", host );
    props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    Authenticator auth = new ADCAuthenticator(); //implemented within this source file...
    Session session = Session.getInstance( props, auth );
    try {
    MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage( session );
    msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress ( fromEmailAddress );
    InternetAddress[] address = { new InternetAddress(  toEmailAddress ) };
    msg.setRecipients( Message.RecipientType.TO, address );
    msg.setSubject( "JavaMail APIs Multipart Test" );
    msg.setSentDate( new Date() );
    MimeBodyPart mbp1 = new MimeBodyPart();
    mbp1.setText( msgText1 );
    MimeBodyPart mbp2 = new MimeBodyPart();
    mbp2.setText( msgText2, "us-ascii" );
    Multipart mp = new MimeMultipart();
    mp.addBodyPart( mbp1 );
    mp.addBodyPart( mbp2 );
    msg.setContent( mp );
    Transport.send( msg ); //the exception is thrown here.
    } catch ( MessagingException mex ) {
    mex.printStackTrace();
    Exception ex = null;
    if ( ( ex = mex.getNextException() ) != null ) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
    Is this a problem within my code or a bug in the application server? The root cause:
    Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl
    concerns me since I'm not making any calls to the application server logging system.
    Thanks for your assistance to anyone who can shed any light on this issue.
    Regards,

  • Always show my Adobe Flash need upgrade but it was the latest

    I visit Youtube website though Firefox however the website always shows that my Adobe Flash need an upgrade. But, my Adobe Flash was already the latest one. I try to visit the website with another browser and Youtube didn't show my Adobe Flash need upgrade anymore. What happened?

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash; an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only and a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox. On a Windows system, you should always update both individually. '''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed; look in Add-ons > Plugins for "Shockwave Player ''(version)''".'''
    #'''Using Firefox''', go to the following direct download link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe
    #When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
    #Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
    #*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
    #*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.

  • I no longer have the ability to use my IPad at work as a digital picture frame after the upgrade. This was the main reason I bought a second iPad for my business. Apparently this feature is no longer available. Is there an app that would work the same?

    Is there an app that will act as a digital picture frame ( slide show ) when in screen saver mode? IOS7 no longer has this feature.this is very upsetting as it is one of the main reasons I bought an iPad for my store.

    You still have the option of using the slideshow feature in the Photos app.  It's not in the lock screen anymore, but it is stll available there.

  • Who was the smart guy who invented the SQL Server SP during reboot blues

    My MSP lazily auto-approved service packs! They shall hear from me when the sun arises.

    Who in the hell decided that a SQL Server Service Pack was just the perfect thing to deploy to my SQL Server , just waiting for the moment I had to reboot the server real quick... and then decided that such a service pack will install during the pre-power-off shut down phase so that no one can do anything with the server and have absolutely no clue how long they should stand around staring at freakin nothing.  And of course, deny any remote connection attemption to the server.

    I have had IPhones since their inception.  Last phone was the 5.  A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
    Here is my issue.
    On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
    Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work.  The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error.  The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
    I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update.  There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

    I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
    It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
    The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
    I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
    I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
    I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
    Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
    I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
    By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
    I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
    I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
    I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
    Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

  • I Lost all my photos in iPhoto by upgrading and clicking on the wrong Library when restarting.... I also deleted iLibrary on accident because I thought it was just a pointless Logo in my Pictures folder! How do I get them Back?!!

    I was trying to clean up my computer and put things on my exteranl hard drive and then delete the items off my computer. When I was going through the pictures I saw a file named "iLibrary" and just saw a little picture for it, so I deleted that as well..... Later on, when I was trying to show my events in the Finder There was a problem and no pictures were showing up, just empty Events. So I went to the dock and quit iPhoto. When I re-clicked it to open again iPhoto asked me if I wanted to upgrade iPhoto, So I clicked yes, then hesitated. "What if all my pictures get deleted' I thought. Then it asked me where I wanted to re-open from and I just click open to the Library that was the 'default'. It was also the ONLY option to click! When it opened I didn't have any of my photos any more. Just a couple events it had selected from my external hard drive!!! I heard I could recover all my photos by going to the Finder and clicking on Pictures then right clicking on iLibrary then go to "Show Package Contents". Unfortunently like I mentioned earlier I had just previously DELETED that!!! It doesn't end there either, just to make matters worse, I "Emptied" the TRASH CAN TOO!! Now what do I do?? I just had a baby 8 weeks ago and ALL ALL ALL the pictures were on there! I was starting to save them to my external hard drive when all this happened! Someone PLEASE help me!!

    Do you have a back up?
    If not you're into using file recovery software like  File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
    There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

    Please can you help....
    I ordered an iPhone 5s in early September from the orange shop in Chamonix Mont-Blanc France.
    I needed a new phone as i dropped my iPhone and broke it so it thought i would upgrade.
    I was asked in the shop if I wanted a black or white one, I asked for a Black one, as all my iPhones have all been Black as I DON'T LIKE White ones. (sorry)
    I was told my phone would arrive in a week so I waited with broken phone for new one. The following week I was told it would be the following week, the following week i was told the same but the assistant in the shop told me they would ring me when it arrived. Three days later i recieved a text from the shop to say the phone would be in tomorrow, when I went in they said it had not arrived and they would call me when it was in the shop.
    They called me on Thursday the 17th of October to say the phone was in the shop.
    I arrived at the shop at 6:00pm after my work, the shop closes at 7:00pm. I recieved the phone, signed for it and extra unwanted insurance with I was told I could only canceled in a month. I was then told they didn't have any sim cards in the shop, i said no problem the Phone i assume will need charging so i will take it home and charge it and return for the sim tomorrow.
    So the Phone remained boxed.
    When I returned home and opened the box I realised it was a white one, I replaced the lid put it back in the bag, and returned it to the shop first thing Friday 18th October, to point out the error, only to be told "to bad" ?? I was told I could have changed it the night before but not this morning? They said I had ordered a Black one but as I had signed for a White one nothing can be done. I was angry and left the shop. I returned later the same day with a French friend to try and resolve this problem, as I wasn't sure if something was being lost in translation. I didn't think I was being unreasonable, it is a very expensive piece of equipment and this wasn't what i wanted. They told my friend that the phone was not available in Black, that was the 5, and that the 5s was only available in silver and gold, and that mine was a silver one.
    I then thought it was my mistake as it was a new phone. She put a sim in the phone put it in the box and I left for a business meeting only to arrive and see a Black iPhone 5s sitting on the table??
    So I then returned back to the shop with the Black one and mine still all boxed and untouched to prove they had blatantly lied to me an hour ago, only to be told that there was nothing they were prepared to do.
    Is this fair practice ? I am at a loss with this and am looking for help ?

    A minor point, but it may avoid a little confusion if, instead of saying "black" in reference to the iPhone 5s, say "space gray":

  • I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered

    I just "upgraded" my iPhone with the new software. As a low vision person, your phone was always previously helpful. I now discover that I cannot use the phone easily. The font has been changed to a very narrow typeface and the greyscale has been altered to reduce contrast. The background is now grey as well rather than white. The accessibility options permit only three choices. First, increase type size. With the the low greyscale, thin typeface, increasing type size makes it HARDER to read. There is no option for contrast enhancement. Third, the background switch options suffers from the same deficit as the white background. The third choice is to enhance brightness but without the option to change contrast, this is useless. Am I missing something? Can this be fixed? How? When? Are you planning a similar negative "update"/change to other devices?

    I am having the same problem. I have gone through every setting, set the bold font, contrast, larger font....everything I could find in any post to try and help - and between the new color scheme that makes it virtually impossible to use the pictures of my grandchildren as background (the picture colors now become the theme colors - which now match the colors of many of the "flat" icons...) I am finding the phone very difficult to use--espeically things like the calendar which has now become very hard to "see" and use. If I can't revert this thing to iOS6, I may have to get a different phone.

  • Received request to upgrade firefox, then another request to install a computer stabilizer something and I accidently pressed install which happened in an instance, but it was not the upgrade..what was it? I am worried

    I had been having difficulty watching an SBS video online,
    it was not functioning properly so I closed firefox and restarted twice. Then received the upgrade message so decided to upgrade
    ticked upgrade then a message came to install some sort of computer stabilisation thing, really I thought it was a part of the upgrade so touched install and whatever it was came in very quickly. Then the firefox installation was there to install and I did not continue because I was worried about what exactly I had installed.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
    MB022Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • This morning, I received an invitation to upgrade, I 'accepted'. The upgrade overwrote the existing version of Firefox. How do I return to the version I was using? HELP!!!

    Upgrade to V8 overwrote the existing version of Firefox. It was only then I found that V8 will not work with my OS

    Matt may not have noticed that you were using both the old OSX 10.4.1 and have PPC hardware.
    There is a third-party option for PPC Macs at http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ though do note http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported

    I just purchased LR5 online and installed it on my PC. I entered the serial number I was given and it said "this is an upgrade serial number. The serial number from your previous version of LR is also required." Since I just bought it I don't have a previous serial number. What do I enter?

    You return the upgrade version since it was purchased in error
    Return, cancel, or exchange an Adobe order
    Purchase a full version.
