Ace redundancy with different software licences

Hi,
We have 4710 with ACE-4710-1F-K9.
1G Bundle: Includes ACE 4710 Hardware, 1 Gbps Throughput, 5,000 SSL TPS, 500 Mbps Compression, 5 Virtual Devices, 50 Application Acceleration Connection License, Embedded Device Manager
We have another 4710 with ACE-4710-2F-K9.
2G Bundle: Includes ACE 4710 Hardware, 2 Gbps Throughput, 7,500 SSL TPS, 1Gbps Compression, 5 Virtual Devices, 50 Application Acceleration Connection License, Embedded Device Manager
Is that possible to make redundancy (FT GROUP) with 2 devices has different software bundles?

Hello-
When you initially setup the ACE's in an FT pair, they initially figure out who is master based on priority, then they check if the licenses that they each have installed are the same. If there is a mismatch, FT will continue to check the configuration and will eventually go into a "standby warm" state. It will not config-sync the startup or running configurations until you install the correct license and toggle config sync.
This is what yo uwould see:
ACE-A/Admin# show ft group 1 status
FT Group                     : 1
Configured Status            : in-service
Maintenance mode             : MAINT_MODE_OFF
My State                     : FSM_FT_STATE_ACTIVE
Peer State                   : FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_WARM
Peer Id                      : 1
No. of Contexts              : 1
Running cfg sync status      : Detected license mismatch with peer, disabling running-config auto sync
Startup cfg sync status      : Detected license mismatch with peer, disabling running-config auto sync
If you disable config sync, it will still stay in a warm state and ignore the license mismatch:
ACE-A/Admin# show ft group 1 status
FT Group                     : 1
Configured Status            : in-service
Maintenance mode             : MAINT_MODE_OFF
My State                     : FSM_FT_STATE_ACTIVE
Peer State                   : FSM_FT_STATE_STANDBY_WARM
Peer Id                      : 1
No. of Contexts              : 1
Running cfg sync status      : Sync disabled by CLI.
Startup cfg sync status      : Sync disabled by CLI.
It is not recommended to run with 2 different licenses because it is possible that you failover and don't have enough resources to carry the traffic that the active was running - however - if you disable configuration sync, it will allow you to do such.

Is the mac mini server the same hardware as the other mac minis (except for the quad core i7 and dual hard drives) with different software or is it configured differently?

I have a mac mini with an i7 dual core processor. It is perceptably slower than my macbook pro with a quad core i7. Does the mac mini server have the same hardware configuation as the regular mac mini with server software or is the hardware different (aside from the i7 quad core and dual hard drives)? I want a mini with a quad core i7...

Your assumption is correct. The server does however only
have the Intel HD3000 graphics like the base model with
no option, at this time, for the discrete graphics chip. So,
depending on what you are using it for, that could be a deal
breaker. Remember that your MBP does have a discrete
graphics chip.
I have a 2011 Mini Server connected to a Thunderbolt display
that gets used as an engineering workstation and general
personal use (some photo editing, LP restoraton, general
internet browsing). You simply just not enable any of the
server services. I find the combination to work quite well
for my purposes. I also have a 13" 2.7 GHz i7 Macbook Pro
which is pretty much strictly for work. As far as CPU
power it is pretty much equivelent to your Mini. For the most
part I find the Mini does outperfom my MBP. I heavily use
Parallels and Windows7 virtual machines, so the more cores
the better.
So, If you do a lot of CPU intensive stuff that is multithreaded,
the Server may help. If it is graphics intensive and your software
heavily leaverages the GPU, you may actually take a hit on
performance.

ACE redundancy with bridge mode

I need configure redundancy between two ACE modules (no problem). There is context in bridge mode. My question is, in which state is standby context. Is it in blocked state (that means, it not ansfer to any L2 requests) similar as for example ASA? I need explain loop-free topology.
can anybody explain me, how it works?

Yes, that's correct.
If you have a redundant setup, don't forget to allow the Spanning-tree BPDUs!
Create an ACL that permits BPDUs and configure it on the both ACEs on the client- and serverside:
access-list NONIP ethertype permit bdpu
int vlan 10 ! client-side
access-group input NONIP
int vlan 20 ! server-side
access-group input NONIP

Different users with different Software installed

Hi there,
As I am rebuilding my computer and recovering my user through Time Machine, I suddenly thought about creating two separate users on my machine:
1.- Me: for my day to day usage.
2.- Developer: an account specifically targeted to install apps and/or test stuff.
In the second one I would like to be able to install apps I do not want accessible in the first and viceversa (I literally want to keep them perfectly separated so, in the case I want to rebuild my computer again, I can make a "clean restore" of user 1 while starting from scratch with user 2 to keep installing software and other testing situations.
The questions are:
A) Is this possible?
B) if so, how?
Thanks in advance

Thank you CT :-))
I do believe that would be a very feasible workaround. My fear (or my questions) goes into the following direction:
a) by doing so, are you keeping anything outside of that folder potentially affecting other programs (supposely, uninstalling apps in MacOS is clean, but there are so many apps to "completely uninstall applications" that I wonder if that is true).
b) I am looking for a programmatic solution (your solution definitely seems to be feasible, but I was looking for a system option or similar to make clear split among users within the same computer).
Thank you very much in any case :-))
Jose.

Upgrading ACE , redundant active-active context

Hi,
We have 2 ACE's running in our network, and we would like to upgrade the ACE software.
To minimize any disruption to existing network traffic during a software upgrade or downgrade, deploy your ACE modules in a redundant configuration. For details about redundancy, see Chapter 7, Configuring Redundant ACE Modules. The following steps provide an overview on upgrading a redundant configuration used in conjunction with the procedures in this appendix:
1. Upgrade the active module first.
2. Reboot the active ACE after the software installation. When you reboot the active ACE, it fails over to the standby module and existing traffic continues without interruption.
3. Upgrade the new active module.
4. Reload the active ACE after the redundant module is up and the high availability (HA) state is hot. A similar failover occurs when you reboot this ACE and once again the existing traffic continues. The original active ACE is active once again.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/services_modules/ace/v3.00_A1/configuration/administration/guide/upgrade.html
This section describes the methods and CLI commands that you can use to troubleshoot redundancy issues in your ACE.
1. Ensure that the software versions and licenses installed in the two ACEs are identical. A software or license mismatch may generate the following syslog message:
%ACE-1-727006: HA: Peer is incompatible due to error str. Cannot be Redundant.
http://docwiki.cisco.com/wiki/Cisco_Application_Control_Engine_(ACE)_Module_Troubleshooting_Guide,_Release_A2(x)_--_Troubleshooting_Redundancy
Following those step, is there any problem would happen after step 2 , having a different software version on the first and second module?
also on step 4 ' Reload the active ACE after the redundant module is up and the high availability (HA) state is hot. ' , is that possible with both module use a different software version ?

Hi,
When you upgrade or downgrade the ACE software in a redundant configuration with different software versions, the STANDBY_WARM and WARM_COMPATIBLE states allow the configuration and state synchronization process between the peers to continue on a best-effort basis. This basis allows the active ACE to synchronize configuration and state information with the standby even though the standby may not recognize or understand the CLI commands or state information.
In the STANDBY_WARM state, as with the STANDBY_HOT state, configuration mode is disabled on the standby ACE and configuration and state synchronization continues. A failover from the active to the standby based on priorities and preempt can still occur while the standby is in the STANDBY_WARM state. However, while stateful failover is possible for a WARM standby, it is not guaranteed. In general, modules should be allowed to remain in this state only for a short period of time.

The software licence agreement with my new IPOD prohibits use on a non appl

the software licence agreement with my new IPOD prohibits use on a non apple branded computer (yeah, I know, no one reads these things) therefore, as I read the agreement, I am not allowed to install the software on teh CD that came with my new IPOD onto my computer - Interestingly enough, if I run just the itunes installer from the CD and not the "autorun" file, then I get a different licence agreement.
Will Apple compuer company please formally state that the supplied software may be installed on a non Apple branded computer

here is the section to which I was referring - it popped up when I first inserted the CD, and it runs when you install the IPOD updater - see the first sentence.

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

How do you update software when there are multiple users with different (unknown) apple ID's?

We are a college with different users borrowing 'loaner' Macbooks.
several users with different ID's have installed software that is now tied to that Machines serial number, and cannot be updated or removed apparently. We are trying to update iPhoto for use with iBook author, but it was installed by an unknown user and cannot be removed.

The only practical solution is to wipe and re-provision the units when they're returned.

hi Shaun!
after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)

Is there any way to software trig on 4-8 channels, if possible with different threshold on each channel?

I am working with a modified version of the example "Acquire N - Multi-Analog Software Trig.vi" in Labview. The example retrieves data from 6 input channels each time an analog trigger occures. Is there any way to software trig (if possible with different treshold on each channel) on all channels in a logical OR-function?

Unfortunately you can only configure a trigger for a single channel. You could, in software, create a multiple-channel software trigger, but it will not be nearly as efficient.
Here is what you could do. You could call the the AI Start VI and AI Read VI in a while loop like the "Acquire-N-Multi-Analog Software Trig VI" but you would not be able to use the conditional retrieval part of the code. Initially, you could read only a few values from each channel and be comparing those values to each individual threshold within the loop. When all of the values have reached the thresholds, you could change (increase) the amount of values being read by AI Read.
This method would always be reading from the channels, but would not be returning a lot of data until all of
the channels have reached their threshold. Just a suggestion. I hope this helps.

I am trying to convert some avi's to mp4 to enable usage with apple tv and imovie. I have used three different software, two paid and 1 free (Skysoft, Total Converter and Handbrake) but conversion stops at 4:57 minutes.

My computer information: Mac (27-inch) 3 TB fusion drive, Late 2013, Procesor:3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory:16 GB 1600 MHz, Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB, Operating system: Yosemite OS X 10.10.1, iPhoto 9.6, iMovie 10.0.6, Quick Time Player 10.4, ITunes 12.0.1, VLC Version 2.1.5 Rincewind (Intel 64bit)
I have a large number of AVI home video files that need to be converted to MP4's. All software I have used (iSkysoft Video Converter- paid version, Total Video Converter - paid version and Handbrake - free version) have done the same thing: the conversion starts but part way through stops and the result is an MP3 clip of exactly 4:57 minutes. I have been working with Skysoft support with no success. The firs attempt was with Total Video Converter. My second attempt was with iSkysoft Video Converter trial version and it converted entire length of video but of course with watermark. The paid version then started having the short conversion problem. I just purchased the computer and am new to Macs.

Thank you for your suggestions. The Handbrake version I have is as follows: Version 0.10.0 x86_64 (2014112200) and I am not sure what website I downloaded it from The fact the the same problem occurs with multiple softwares makes me think it is something on my computer, a setting or something, but I have no idea what or where to look.
I will definitely check out iFlicks and let you know.
Thanks

Bible software with different version

Hi all, thanks for all good work you are doing here.
Please I want to ask: is it possible to have a parrallel bible application in my phone? I mean a bible with different versions as one application in my phone?

Steve,
Each web application has its own session within a J2EE container. You cannot share sessions, unless you deploy both apps as one web application which is probably not what you want. So, yes, the only work around I can think of is abandoning container-managed security so you can navigate to the other web app with some request params that cause an "auto-login" to happen.

2 Cisco 2504 controllers but different software versions

Hello,
I am configuring two 2504 controllers, which I ordered together, however they run different software versions and I don't have a contract/ login to download wlan controller software from the Cisco website.
The one with the newest version runs 7.2.103.0 while the other one runs 7.0.220.0
I want to run them together in the same subnet and use them for redundancy (10 AP's will connect)
Is there a way I can download the software from the controller, just like I am able to do with an ASA firewall? Then I can upload it to the controller with the older software version.
Thank you and regards,
Ralph Willemsen
Arnhem, Netherlands

Hello Ralph,
No, you can not download the code from the WLC. You can contact your reseller and request the firmware.
If you have a contact with Cisco sales team you can tell them and they can open a TAC case for your behalf to publish you the code.
If your device is under warranty you can send your serial number to [email protected] along with your CCO ID. They will publish you the image if the device is under warranty. (or if it is under valid contract but you don't have the contract number).
