Aliases - FC, Device, Global...?

Does anybody know the difference between FC aliases, Device Aliases and Global Aliases?
The FC (aka zone?) aliases are held in the running config on the switch and also seem to be specific to a VSAN.
Global Aliases seem to be a Fabric Manager thing - does the Fabric Manager server hold a database of aliases so that they are still recognised if you plug the device into a seperate physical SAN managed by the same FM server? Presumably if you connect via a different FM server to the same switch you would get different global aliases because you are connecting to a different database?
Device aliases seem to be an extension of fc aliases (in that they are stored in the running config) that are not VSAN specific and are not restricted to being used for zoning only.
Is that about right? Which of the above are people using and how do you find it? I'm still using fcaliases, purely because I haven't tried the others, although Device Aliases looks like an interesting option...
Thanks,
Allan.

You can find a pretty good description and usage in the MDS Cookbook http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us/guest/products/ps6039/c1067/ccmigration_09186a008054084e.pdf.
Device aliases and FMS Global Device Aliases are the same thing (FMS just added the word Global).
The problem with fcaliases (that device aliases solves) is that with fcaliases I could have the same alias defined in two different vsans with a different pwwn in each pwwn. Secondly, fcaliases are only restricted to zoning. Not IVR, not QOS, not CLI output (like with 'show fcns' or 'show flogi'..)
In SANOS 3.1(2), you can make a zone member of type enhanced device alias. This means that now if you swap out the hba you only have to change the device alias database, and not modify the zones. Think of it like updating the dns server with a new IP address, you don't have to tell everyone that your new hostname is www.xyz.com b/c www.abc.com failed.

Back to back connection on single device (global to vrf)

Dear All,
I am trying to get a topology working using GNS3 Alpha 6 IOU L2 device, but actually the same issue applies to GNS3 using 3660 16ESW. I have not tried on real device, so maybe that is my issue :( In the real world it will be a 6500 Sup720
I have a single device, and would like to make a connection between the global route table and a vrf.
So I would have 1 interface on global, and one interface on vrf.
In GNS, I create a topology like this:
router e1/0 - switch port #1
router e1/1 - switch port #2
This creates a cable from one interface to another
Then the configuration is posted below.
Ping doesn't work, I don't even see a CDP neighbor.
I wonder if GNS supports the back2back connection (router connection to itself).
Any ideas? (theoretically it should work)
I have also tried make the interfaces e1/0 & e1/1 as the routed port, same issue. (Note that this is the only way to test it using GNS3 standard as 3660 does not support mac-address set on vlan interfaces)

That doesn't do it.
I have used the page up key to skip back to the top, but why should we have to do that when most other forums I post on have a "to the top" button?
It is a little thing, but when they can't even keep the darn servers in sync, or even up at all for that matter, it seems huge.

Anti-aliasing of device fonts in TextField is different in Flash 8 and Flash 10

We have noticed that when we display a TextField with a device font (Verdana), that the antialiasing is different (and subjectively worse) when
the app is compiled as a swf10 app than when it is compiled as a swf8 app.
Below is the TextField when compiled and run as a SWF 10 file, displayed in the 10.1 player. The font size was set to 12 point, magnified, to show that it uses grayscale antialiasing
An below is the same code but compiled to a swf8 file (and run in the 10.1 player as well)
You can see that when the file is compiled as SWF8, the device font is rendered with color pixels, I guess as an LCD font.
Can anyone tell me why this is not being done for TextField when the app is compiled/run as SWF10 ??
The code to instantiate the text field looks like
        var tf:TextField = new TextField();
            tf1.antiAliasType = AntiAliasType.ADVANCED;
            tf1.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
            tf1.sharpness = 0;
            tf1.x = 100;
            tf1.y = 50;
            tf1.width=400;
            tf1.height=50;
            var fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            fmt.kerning = true;
            fmt.size = 12;
            fmt.font = 'Verdana';
            tf1.embedFonts = false;
            tf1.styleSheet = null;
            tf1.defaultTextFormat = fmt;
            var str = "Verdana";
            tf1.htmlText = str;

Actually our users are complaining that the Flash 10 grayscale antialiasing on device fonts does not look as good
as the Flash 8 style antialiasing.Virtually everyone uses LCD monitors now, and it seems like the Flash 8 color
dithering produce better results on these displays.
It is demonstrated that the Flash 10 player will render device fonts with
different algorithms when it is using AVM1 or AVM2, so what I would like to know is if there is any way to have programmatic control over this
choice in my Flash 10 application, so I can get the Flash 8 style antialiasing, or control other parameters on a device font, like sharpness, etc.

Setting up RAID-1 mirror as aliased boot device on V240

Hi Guys,
I've successfully mirrored 4 slices from the original disk
to the second one in our v240, the raid as such works,
and is consistent. I then did the following:
<div class="pre"><pre>installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0init 0devalias disk_mirror /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@1,0:aboot disk_mirror</pre></div>
But on reboot the machine complained that it couldn't
find the kernel ...
What did I do wrong?
Cheers,
Andrej

Actually I think he just didn't believe me when I said
that I have SUCCESSFULLY mirrored 4 slices (/, /var swap
and /adv). Yes, I did use metastat to check on the
process, and yes, after a couple of hours even the
largest slice (/adv) was successfully mirrored.

One of the things that can be confusing when moving from Linux on PC to Solaris on SPARC systems is the obp, far more robust than BIOS! I have found that this puts Linux administrators off using SPARC systems, but these systems aren't that complicated if you understand how to use them ( entry level systems at least ). A good place to start is http://docs.sun.com/ and BigAdmin. As Michael suggested the man pages are an excellent source for quick information. Any time I work on a Linux system I use the man pages all the time because the GNU commands can be different. In fact during exams like the RHCE you are allowed to use the man pages to help you answer the problems/questions.

Non-global zone devices

We are currently trying to port an application from a Solaris 9 server to a branded Solaris 9 zone on a T5220. The application accesses the /dev/fb devises which link to the screen card device. We cant get the zone to see the devices. Is this possible? Does anyone have any comments or suggestions?

Device Font Anti-aliasing on Windows

Hi,
I'm using a device font in a Flex 4.1 Preloader.
I'm using the following textformat ...
var percentLoadedFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat( "_typewriter", 20, 0x333333, null, null, null, null, null, TextAlign.CENTER );
... to style a TextField using percentLoadedText.defaultTextFormat = percentLoadedFormat;
I get a nice looking monospace/typewriter front in Mac browsers, but in windows (FFox/IE7/Chrome) the text is not Antialiased and looks awful.
The text is not masked and is positioned at whole pixels.
( PC / FFox 3.6.8 at 200 % )
( Mac / FFox 3.6.8 at 200 % )

Hi,
So Anti-aliasing of device fonts is not cross-platform?
Embed the font or try Courier
I can't use an embedded font as it is a preloader. I would love to use Courier, only Macs tend to have Courier while PCs have Courier New and as far as I know there is no way to declare a font stack in Flash or is there?

Updates for Nokia X6, 5530 XM and 5800 XM

Hello Nokia,
Nokia please give us more information about the announced updates you've promised us on the 29th of June.
We don't get any information about the updates, except the notice on 29 August.
Come on Nokia, release the update soon and don't ignore your faithful users!
(http://conversations.nokia.com/2011/08/29/new-info-on-the-software-updates-for-symbian-5-0-and-3-2-d...):
New info on the software updates for Symbian 5.0 and 3.2 devices
GLOBAL – Last week we made some edits in the article published in June on the software updates for Symbian 5.0 and 3.2 devices. We have since then received questions about this topic from our readers, so we’d like to share some more information on the status of these updates. We’d like to confirm that the planned updates for Nokia X6, Nokia 5530 and Nokia 5800 are still to be released and we are currently working on getting the software ready to launch in some months.
As all three models are among our older devices, not all operators globally will test and approve the software update for these phones. This is the reason why we decided to remove the devices from the global posting. Availability of the software update for these phones will be determined at a local level.
Best regards ,
Nokia S60 5.0 users

How to determine network issue?

I have an older RV016 that I just upgraded to the 3.0.2.01 firmware in the hopes it would fix my issue. It did not.
I have several devices, that when plugged into the switch slow my network performance. If I disable the ports these are on, performance resumes to normal speeds.
With these device ports disabled, I get around 20Mb/s. With these devices connected, I get less than 1Mb/s, as measured by speedtest.net. The speed change is instantaneous when enabling or disabling these devices.
They are fairly common devices:
Global Cache GC-100
Phillips Pronto RFX9600
Toshiba HD XA2
Linksys PPSX1 ver. 2
All other devices I have used so far work fine. If I move ports, the issue follows the device, not the port.
How do I determine what is causing the slowdown? Is there anything I can do to correct this?
Thanks in advance, Pete

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.
When you said "plugged into the switch" what type of switch are you referring too, or do you mean the RV016? Also have you tried turning the ports on one at a time to see if one is more a culprit than another.
One thing I would definitely do is run a wireshark analysis on the network with the ports off and then run it against each port to see what type of traffic you get out of each port as it comes up.
Please feel free to call into the Small Business Support Center and speak with one of the engineers who can help you with this.
Thanks

Cluster 3.1 4/04 install problems

When my major node reboots I was getting the error:
Trying to remount /global/.devices/node@2
mount: /dev/md/dsk/d50 is already mounted, /global/.devices/node@2 is busy,
or the allowable number of mount points has been exceeded
WARNING - Unable to mount one or more of the following filesystem(s):
/global/.devices/node@2
If this is not repaired, global devices will be unavalilable.
Run mount manually (mount filesystem...).
when I typed in mount this is what I got:
/global/.devices/node@1 on /dev/md/dsk/d50 read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/logging/noquota/global/xattr/nodfratime/onerror=panic/dev=1540032 on Wed Aug 18 08:45:58 2004
So I unmounted /global/.devices/node@1 and rebooted. After the reboot it was able to mount /global/.devices/node@2 to where it wanted to, but now my other node in the cluster is complaining about:
Aug 18 09:20:03 OHBLUS0C Cluster.CCR: /usr/cluster/bin/scgdevs: Filesystem /global/.devices/node@1 is not available in /etc/mnttab.
It didn't have a problem before. I am not sure what is going on with the /global directory mounting on each node, can anyone help?
Thanks

Not strictly correct.
The # in the device global/.devices/node@# does represent the nodeid of the cluster nodes, however this f/s is the local global devices database for each node, which in itself is a global device, therefore each node in the cluster should see an entry for all global/.devices/node@# for each node in the cluster in their mount table i.e. via df -k. Although it is only necessary to have the local entry in the nodes vfstab.
To cure the above problem now seen on node1, you will need to remount the global/.devices/node@1 as you unmounted it manually. I would also run an scrgdevs to ensure the db is up to date.
The original problem of the warning message at boot time, appears to be a bug, if you continue the boot sequence without performing any repairs to the missing global/.devices/node@# f/s all will mount as expected and your cluster will be sane (if everything has been configured correctly at install time).
To check the global device entries in vfstab for all nodes in the cluster use sccheck on one of the nodes.
Hope this clarifies things a little.

Hi,
With reference to the RoundTransparentWindow code of Apple Examples, I tried to make my tableview also transparent from the following code.
- (void)setColumnHeaderOf:(id)identifier image:(NSImage*)image title:(NSString*)title
NSTableColumn *column=[self tableColumnWithIdentifier:identifier];
[[column headerCell] setCellAttribute:NSCellHasImageOnLeftOrBottom to:NSImageBelow];
[[column headerCell] setImage:image];
NSMutableAttributedString *attributedString = [[NSMutableAttributedString alloc] initWithString:title];
NSMutableParagraphStyle * aParagraphStyle = [[[NSMutableParagraphStyle alloc] init] autorelease];
[aParagraphStyle setLineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail];
[aParagraphStyle setAlignment:NSCenterTextAlignment];
CGFloat dividingFactor = 255.0f;
NSMutableDictionary * aTitleAttributes = [[[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSFontfontWithName:CPFONTNAME size:[NSFont systemFontSize]], NSFontAttributeName,
aParagraphStyle,NSParagraphStyleAttributeName,
nil] autorelease];
[aTitleAttributes setValue:[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:(246/dividingFactor) green:(204/dividingFactor)blue:(37/dividingFactor) alpha:1.0f] forKey:NSForegroundColorAttributeName];
[attributedString addAttributes:aTitleAttributes range:NSMakeRange(0, [attributedString length])];
[[column headerCell] setAttributedStringValue:attributedString];
[attributedString release];
- (void)awakeFromNib
NSLog(@"KBCustomTableView awakeFromNib");
[[self enclosingScrollView] setDrawsBackground:NO];
NSRect frameRect = [[self headerView] frame];
[[self headerView] setFrameSize:NSMakeSize(frameRect.size.width, 30)];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column1" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr1"] title:@"Column1"];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column2" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr2"] title:@"Column2"];
[self setColumnHeaderOf:@"Column3" image:[NSImage imageNamed:@"ColHdr3"] title:@"Column3"];
- (void)drawBackgroundInClipRect:(NSRect)clipRect
NSLog(@"KBCustomTableView drawBackgroundInClipRect");
//[super drawBackgroundInClipRect:clipRect];
- (id)_highlightColorForCell:(NSCell *)cell
[self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
return nil;
It works fine but with one strange behaviour of textfieldCell.
WhileEditing the textfieldCell, my background app is shown clearly. This is because in the method, _highlightColorForCell self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]]; If I don't do this, then my table behaves very much weird with lot of colors.
Any idea how to resolve this.

Hi again
You can control the anti-aliasing on a global scale via Edit > Preferences.
Slide color is controlled either at the slide level itself (examine Slide Properties) and you can also set a default color in Preferences so that if you click Insert > Blank Slide it has a defined color.
It's common for folks to use the hot pink color as a transparent color. I just figured that you were configuring that color in the bitmap image you were creating for the caption. If you haven't done this, I'm unsure where the color may be coming from. Are you using a Bitmap Image in BMP format for the Caption? If not, perhaps you are using PNG or something like that and Captivate may be interpreting a transparent color set in the PNG. Not sure.
Cheers... Rick

Adding node back into cluster after removal...

Hi,
I removed a cluster node using "scconf -r -h <node>" (carried out all the other usual removal steps before getting this command to work).
Because this is a pair+1 cluster and the node i was trying to remove was physically attached to the quroum device (scsi), I had to create a dummy node before the removal command above would work.
I reinstalled solaris, SC3.1u4 framwork, patches etc. and then tried to run scsinstall again on the node (reintroduced the node to the cluster again first using scconf -a -T node=<node>).
However! during the scsinstall i got the following problem:
Updating file ("ntp.conf.cluster") on node n20-2-sup ... done
Updating file ("hosts") on node n20-2-sup ... done
Updating file ("ntp.conf.cluster") on node n20-3-sup ... done
Updating file ("hosts") on node n20-3-sup ... done
scrconf: RPC: Unknown host
scinstall: Failed communications with "bogusnode"
scinstall: scinstall did NOT complete successfully!
Press Enter to continue:
Was not sure what to do at this point, but since the other clusternodes could now see my 'new' node again, i removed the dummy node, rebooted the new node and said a little prayer...
Now, my node will not boot as part of the cluster:

Any ideas how i can recover this situation without having to reinstall the node again?
(have a flash with OS, sc3.1u4 framework etc... so not the end of the world but...)
Thanks a mil if you can help here!
- headwrecked

Hi - got sorted with this problem...
basically just removed (scinstall -r) the sc3.1u4 software from the node which was not booting, and then re-installed the software (this time the dummy node had been removed so it did not try to contact this node and the scinstall completed without any errors)
I think the only problem with the procedure i used to remove and readd the node was that i forgot to remove the dummy node before re-adding the actaul cluster node again...
If anyone can confirm this to be the case then great - if not... well its working now so this thread can be closed.

How to share disks without any volume manager

Hello:
Do I have to use volume manager, either Solstice or VxVM, in order to establish disk sharing in between a two-nodes Sun Cluster?
The Sun Cluster consists of 2 1405s and shares a D1000. The scdidadm �L shows:
�
12 solarisd1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t8d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d12
12 solarisa1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t8d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d12
13 solarisd1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d13
13 solarisa1k:/dev/rdsk/c5t9d0 /dev/did/rdsk/d13
�
Without implementing any volume manager, how can I share a disk? Such as disk d13?
I created a mount point /global13 on both nodes, use command
# mount /dev/global/dsk/d13s0 /global13
to mount this device. I can see the disk from both nodes. I created a file on /global13 from node solarisa1k, then, from node solarisd1k, it shows 0 block.
Thanks in advance.
Warren

To mount a device globally, either use # mount �g or use global flag on the /etc/vfstab file.

AP1231G upgrade to thin-ap & cannot find the "lwapp" or "capwap" command !!!

Dears,
I upgarde the AP1231G to thin-ap!
I want to set static lwapp ip information.
But, The AP not the command "lwapp" or "capwap"?!
Does anyone know where I can find documentation on how to fix this?

I just ran into the same issue with 1230's but only when the AP was on a different vlan than the WLC. What I did was put an ip-helper address on the vlan the ap was on and pointed that to the managment interface of the wlc.
interface vlan
ip helper-address
Then on your L3 device, globally configure the following:
ip forward-protocol udp 12222
ip forward-protocol udp 12222
ip forward-protocol udp 5246
ip forward-protocol udp 5247
I don't know what version you are running and if you are running secure or not. After the AP's join and download the firmware, you can remove these.
