AirPort with VPC Virtual PC

I cannot get any applications under Windows 2000 to be able to access the Internet when I'm connected via Airport. I'm using VPC 7.01
Can anybody point me in the right direction please?

Felix,
Just a few points:
Dial-up
My dial-up works fine using several different ISPs, 2 when at home, several when away.
I connect via the Mac and can then use any of my applications on the Mac or the VPC (Im using Windows 2000) to communicate with the Internet.
Broadband
Broadband DSL usually work fine to, although Im still waiting for it to be installed at home.
Airport which I use at Airports and Cafes
This is where only Mac applications work. I got the connection to the Apple site yesterday, but that was the only site and the functionality was limited.
As you see, I use several ISPs and your instructions sound overly complex - perhaps it should not surprise me though, as were talking about Windows However, does that mean that once I change the DNS server numbers (from the current setting Obtain DNS server address automatically) to those of the café around the corner, that Ill need to change them back again when I get home and want to use dial-up?
Thanks
Stephen

Problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?

Has anybody experienced problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?
Lacking any "forbidden" or "appropriate usage" guidelines, I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer file from the desktop. I have occasionally sensed that this might be wrong. Today I inadvertently clicked the MAC harddrive instead of the Desktop (within Windows Explorer) and caused all manner of mischief.
Any other views please?

Let me correct this:

Any ideas please Virtual PC VPC users?

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal?

How do you use Airport extreme at hotels etc, when traveling? I can plug my computer into the Airport with my ethernet but how does Airport pickup signal? What equipment & devices do I need to travel with to make this possible?

You may mean the AirPort Express.....not AirPort Extreme.....as the Express is a popular travel router.
The whole idea behind using this device is that the hotel must provide an Ethernet jack in the hotel room. Then you connect the AirPort Express to the Ethernet jack with an Ethernet cable and configure it to provide your own wireless network in the room. You still have to agree to terms, pay the fees, etc.
The problem with this approach is that it is getting very difficult to find hotels in North America that prrovide an Ethernet jack....most have moved to wireless networks and the others are not far behind.
So, if the hotel is already providing a wireless signal, the AirPort Express is of no use in that situation.
If you normally stay at the same hotels, and know that they provide Ethernet ports, an AirPort Express might make sense in terms of convenience.

Having trouble with creation of a cloud service with multiple virtual machines using java sdk.

I am creating a cloud service on azure with 2 virtual machines using java sdk API. Service created successfully.
My input endpoint details are as follows.
INPUT ENDPOINTS
Head : 191.238.144.47:2400
Head : 191.238.144.47:22
Node0 : 191.238.144.47:43211
For Head instance port 2400 is for HTTPS and port 22 is for SSH and for Node0 instance port 43211 is for SSH.
But I am having problem with doing a ssh on Head instance. Sometimes it works sometimes doesn't. Same problem with HTTPS also.
I have some application running over there but when i try to access it thru browser sometimes it works but most of the time doesn't. When I restart the instances from azure portal, its works after
that(not always but most of the time).
Now I am confused what is going on there. I am creating cloud service and virtual machines using java sdk and setting input endpoints also. After creation of all instances i restart every instance programmatically .
I am not sure whether restart is required or not. It must be something to do with input endpoints only but not able to get the right thing i guess. When i do the same thing thru azure portal(creation of cloud service with virtual machines and setting up input
end points) everything works fine but not achieving the result when implementing it by java sdk API. Please help me.

HI Nithin,
Thanks for your reply. I am setting the endpoints after creating my instances using update call. Here's the code snippet.
AzureService aServ = new AzureService(session);
if(aServ.checkNameAvailability(clusterName)) {
aServ.createHostedService(clusterName, "dbX cluster");
// Creating head instance
aServ.createHead(clusterName, imgName, headType, userName, pswd);
// Setting end points for head node
String name = "ssh";
int port = 22;
aServ.updateVMInputEndpoint(clusterName, "Head", name, port);
// Restarting head instance
aServ.restartVM(clusterName, "Head");
String roleName = "Node";
String tmpRoleName = "";
for(int i=0; i<noi; i++) {
port = 43210+(i+1);
tmpRoleName = roleName + i;
// Creating node instance
aServ.createVM(clusterName, tmpRoleName, imgName, nodeType, userName, pswd);
// Setting end points for node instance
aServ.updateVMInputEndpoint(clusterName, tmpRoleName, name, port);
// Restarting node instance
aServ.restartVM(clusterName, tmpRoleName);
// Method to update the input endpoint details
public void updateVMInputEndpoint(String clusterName, String vmName, String name, int port)
throws Exception {
VirtualMachineGetResponse resp = computeManagementClient.getVirtualMachinesOperations().
get(clusterName, clusterName, vmName);
VirtualMachineUpdateParameters updateParameters = new VirtualMachineUpdateParameters();
//get the configuration list
ArrayList<ConfigurationSet> configlist = resp.getConfigurationSets();
//get inputendpoint list and update it
ArrayList<InputEndpoint> endpointlist = configlist.get(0).getInputEndpoints();
InputEndpoint inputEndpoint = new InputEndpoint();
inputEndpoint.setEnableDirectServerReturn(false);
inputEndpoint.setPort(port);
inputEndpoint.setLocalPort(port);
inputEndpoint.setName(name);
inputEndpoint.setProtocol(InputEndpointTransportProtocol.TCP);
endpointlist.add(inputEndpoint);
// Open port for https on head node
if(vmName.equals("Head")) {
inputEndpoint = new InputEndpoint();
inputEndpoint.setEnableDirectServerReturn(false);
inputEndpoint.setPort(2400);
inputEndpoint.setLocalPort(2400);
inputEndpoint.setName("https");
inputEndpoint.setProtocol(InputEndpointTransportProtocol.TCP);
endpointlist.add(inputEndpoint);
updateParameters.setConfigurationSets(configlist);
//required for update
OSVirtualHardDisk osVirtualHardDisk = resp.getOSVirtualHardDisk();
updateParameters.setOSVirtualHardDisk(osVirtualHardDisk);
updateParameters.setRoleName(resp.getRoleName());
OperationResponse updtResp = computeManagementClient.getVirtualMachinesOperations().update(clusterName, clusterName, resp.getRoleName(), updateParameters);
And every time i am creating a new cloud service along with head and node instances. Region is "South Central US".
I am setting ProvisionGuestAgent field to true at instance creation time. Thank you.

Only black screen on the external monitor with intel-virtual-output

Hello,
I tried to install bumblebee on my Lenovo W520 with this tutorial:
http://www.unixreich.com/blog/2013/linu … ly-solved/
I can activate my external monitor with "intel-virtual-output" and the monitor is switching on. But I can only see a black screen.
In the settings of gnome I can see my external monitor and configure it - but it shows nothing.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Flex with a virtual frame buffer

I have to run an automated version of my flex app on a
headless server so I'm using a virtual frame buffer (Xvfb) running
on Solaris in an oc4j container.
I can get the following command to 'apparently' launch the
app:
String cmd = "/bin/sh DISPLAY=:5 /opt/sfw/bin/firefox "+
url+" -width 1600 -height 1200";
I say apparently because it does not cause any errors. But
when I send messages to the flex app via BlazeDS for it to do it's
thing...they never get there. I know the program works because it
is fine in my localhost development environment, but how do I get
the app to launch with a virtual frame buffer or more generally, on
a headless server?

This is a wild guess based on a small amount of research, but
you might want to check the 'headless-server' compiler option - see
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=Live Docs_Book_Parts&file=performance_118_41.html

Question re. behaviour of single homed FEX with vPC

Hi Folks,
I have been looking at configuring Nexus 5Ks with FEX modules. Referring to the Cisco documentation;
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus5000/sw/layer2/513_n1_1/b_Cisco_n5k_layer2_config_gd_rel_513_N1_1_chapter_01001.html
In figure 3. showing a single homed FEX with vPC topology, I'm curious what happens if one of the 5Ks fail. For example if the 5K on the left hand side of the diagram fails do the ports on the attached FEX that the server is attached to drop? If not I would assume that the server has no way of knowing that there is no longer a valid path through those links and will continue to use them?
Many thanks in advance,
Shane.

Hello Shane.
Depending of type of the failureboth n5k can tace corrective actions and end host will always know that one of the port-channel members is down.
For example if one 5k will crash or will be reloaded - all connected fexes alre will go offline. FEX are not standalone switches and cannot work without "master" switch.
Also links which will go from fex to the end-host will be in vpc mode which means that all vpc redundancy features/advantages will be present.
HTH,
Alex

Can I use the Window XP bundled with MS virtual PC in setting up boot camp?

Hi hi,
before having the new 24" iMac, I have MS office professional for Mac running on my 17" G5 iMac it. The bundle pack contains Window xp professional software running on Virtual pc program.
I want to install boot camp on my new intel mac but can i use the window xp program which is bundled with MS virtual pc software for setting up boot camp?
please advise.
iMac 24" Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Technically, so long as your bundled version is XP with service pack 2 then you should be able to use it.
Legally, no. When Windows comes with a PC, even a virtual PC, it's license is for an OEM installation. While it's still functionally the same as a copy you'd buy in the store its license is for use only with that PC it came with and no others.
Hope this helps! bill

Hi,
Thanks for your response.
From the error description, you need to manually remove the ECP with IIS manager in both the Default Web Site and the Exchange Back End firstly. And then continue the upgrade to check the result.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Unstable vMotion behavior over DCI with vPC?

hi out there
I need some ideas to track a problem - we have a DC running with a wmware esxi4.1 cluster (2 x 2 sets of blade-servers - one set at each site) with a DR site which is interconnected with 4 10G fiber where we have established 2 x 2 port-channels (Cisco Nexus 5k with vPC) between - 1 vpc portchannel with 2 10g connections for iSCSI and 1 vpc portchannel also with 2 10g connections for "non-iSCSI traffic" - eg the rest - we have seperated the iscsi traffic fully from the rest of the network. We have hereby a "simple" Layer 2 DC interconnection with a latencey between the sites of ~ 1mSec - and no erros reported by any of the involved devices. The iscsi consist of two EMC VNX 5500 controlleres - one at each site with a "local" san array.
My problem is that from time to time when we issue a vMotion or clone of a vm between the sites we get either an extrem slow response (will probably end in a timeout) or the operations fails with a timeout - could be "disk clone failed. Canceling Storage vMotion. Storage vMotion clone operation failed. Cause: Connection timed out"
Any suggestions to track this? It is a bit hard to track the network connections since it is 10 gig (haven't got any sniffer equipment yet which can catch up with a 10 gig interface). Could there be some buffer allocation problems on the nexus switches (no errors logged - any suggestions on which debug level?)
best regards /ti

Hi - we have a similar setup but where we use nx5k to service the DCI and VPC as solely L2 and then run the L3 on the NX7k. You need to have all the same vlans on the vpc as far as I know. You can't fool it - but you might be able to tricks something with some q-in-q trunks between the 2 sets of nx7k's
best regards /ti

How can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad?

how can I access a thumb drive plugged into an airport with my iPad? I am trying to set up an information point to serve weekly info over a NOT connected to the internet airport.

You can't. There are a couple of devices such as AirStash and the GoFlex drive that you can access over WiFi. They are limited, as I understand it, though.

Soft Return in Numbers with iPad Virtual Keyboard?

When using my Apple wireless keyboard I am able to create a soft return/new line within a text cell by using "option + enter" keys. The "enter" key by itself moves the cursor to the next cell instead of doing a new paragraph or line within the same cell.
Is there any way to replicate this functionality with the virtual keyboard on the iPad? There are times when I don't have my wireless keyboard with me, like right now, and still need to have that functionality.

This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond. You can make a suggestion.
Send feedback to Apple.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
I bought a case with a bluetooth connected keyboard. Much easier to use than the on-screen keyboard if you do a lot of typing. You can use many/most computer wireless keyboards with the iPad.

Is Time Machine dealing with Fusion virtual machines differently now?

I have discovered and others have noted that TM backs up Fusion VMs as a single file. For me, this has been roughly 32GB a pop, chewing up my 500GB TM target volume breathtakingly quickly. Suddenly, however, changes within the VM are requiring only about 7.6GB per TM back-up, roughly one-quarter of the previous amount. Does anyone know what's going on here? I downloaded the usual monthly bushel of Windows automatic updates (security, stability, enhancements, etc.) yesterday for my Vista Ultimate guest VM; could these somehow have made the TM process for a Fusion VM more efficient? This seems too good to be true!

All --
The most knowlegeable VMware employee at the Fusion booth at Macworld (two other VMware employees there did not know) told me definitively that Fusion virtual machines are no longer being backed up by Time Machine.
On December 23rd, in another thread, Kimo said (see also Peggy Lynn's posts, above):
"At this link you'll find the Fusion 1.1 release notes http://www.vmware.com/support/fusion/doc/releasenotes_fusion.html
"Fusion 1.1 was the upgrade that Vmware provided at the end of november.
As you can see they don't mention any issue with Time Machine.
But searching around I've found the Fusion 1.1. RC1 release notes at this link
http://www.vmware.com/beta/fusion/releasenotes_fusion.html
"In this document you can find this section:
"-Leopard's Time Machine feature causes VMware Fusion 1.1 RC1 to hang.
In Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard), the Time Machine feature interferes with the Virtual Machines directory, causing VMware Fusion to hang when you launch it.
Workaround: Configure Time Machine to exclude the Virtual Machines folder.
This problem is planned to be fixed for the upcoming VMware Fusion 1.1 GA release. Virtual machines will be excluded from Time Machine backups...
"...and they did it!
"They should announce it, in the right way, with the final 1.1. release notes. I can confirm, now, that my first 2 backups (of my vmware files) were done before the fusion 1.1 upgrade.
The day I've installed the upgrade backups have been stopped.
"I'm not glad for this, It should be a decision of mine..."
I completely agree with Kimo. I have reviewed the 1.1 GA release notes, again, and can find no mention of Time Machine. Someone new to Fusion who trialed or purchased Fusion 1.1 GA would not be able to tell from a read of the Release Notes that her/his VM was excluded from TM backup. VMware indicated to me that they made this move, in cooperation with Apple, because the problem outlined above would occur if TM ran when a Fusion VM was active.
I have been waiting for Dave Nanian to e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y update SuperDuper! to an exalted state of Leopard compatibility and, frankly, have in the interim been doing less frequent clone backups with CCC. As a consequence, I have been less protected (with respect to my data in the Vista VM) than I thought I was.
Let me state the obvious: because, for many of us, the data in our VMs is precious, it is irresponsible for VMware to make a unilateral and fundamental change in a backup modality that is, after all, part of OSX, without giving the user a choice (the bug doesn't manifest itself if the VM isn't active; I just shut mine down to do periodic TM backups without mishap) and (ii) proactive notification of registered users -- they have the email addresses! That Apple was apparently a part of this is quite disappointing as well.
More of the obvious: if you are a Fusion user, you should -- for sure -- rely on a backup approach other than TM to protect your VM data.
Regards.
