Any experience of upgrading a WLSE to WCS?

Hi All,
Has anyone out there upgraded a WLSE appliance to WCS? It seems a fairly easy process going by the instructions on the site but I wonder if there are any pitfalls to be wary of?
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks
Scott

It's works very well !
Normally you will not found any problem.
I do that 3 weeks ago, and works fine.
Be sure to have the 2 CDs with you to do the process. And you should be physically connected to the console port.
The process can't be done remotly.
The migration guide is on:

Anybody got any experience with upgrading Spamassassin to version 3.1.2

Spamassassin 3.1.2 seems to have much improved (expanded) rules (over 3.0.1 supplied with 10.4). It would seem to be a good idea to upgrade. Are there any gotchas? How would one go about it?
Also, if I want to kill an email address, ie: reject all email to that address, but still use a catch-all on the domain, how would I do that?
Cheers.

When you have spamassassin of os x server already running it is simple to upgrade spamassassin. I never had any problems - tested on three tiger - mailservers.
Simply follow the instructions on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/spamassassin/branches/3.1/INSTALL and upgrade on 3.1.3 (it reports itself as 3.001003) using the terminal and the perl-helper-app MCPAN .
When doing this the first time you may respond to the questions asked, but you can also choose you are not ready for a manual configuration. This does not interfere with amavis, clamav or anything else.
Worst thing that could happen is that you need to install the most recent perl-libraries on which spamassassin is dependent on...

WLSE to WCS upgrade path

Hi,
Could anybody tell me if they are aware of an upgrade path from WLSE to WCS using existing WLSE hardware? Can anybody point out the main benefits/features moving to WCS from WLSE?
Many thanks
SJ

Hi Scott,
Just the 1130-19 or 1133 are supported;
The new Cisco WCS SKU family, WCS-WLSE-UPG-K9, is now available for CiscoWorks WLSE customers that wish to migrate from CiscoWorks WLSE (Models 1130-19 or 1133) to Cisco WCS. These new SKUs are price-adjusted to make transitioning from CiscoWorks WLSE to Cisco WCS cost-effective.
All CiscoWorks WLSE conversion SKUs ship with two special conversion CDs. These CDs check to make sure that a CiscoWorks WLSE is installed prior to beginning the Cisco WCS conversion process. The software will not install if the CiscoWorks WLSE software check, performed by the conversion software, does not pass.
This SKU family supports only ***CiscoWorks WLSE hardware models 1130-19 and 1133. To find the model number of a CiscoWorks WLSE, look at the compliance label on the bottom of the chassis front bezel. ***Only CiscoWorks WLSE with a compliance label that says 1130-19 or 1133 can be converted to Cisco WCS.
Note: CiscoWorks WLSE Express (Model 1030) and CiscoWorks WLSE (Model 1105) are not supported with CiscoWorks WLSE conversion SKUs. Do not install the CiscoWorks WLSE CDs on the CiscoWorks WLSE Express (Model 1030) appliance or CiscoWorks WLSE (Model 1105). This conversion is not supported and it will not work.
Once converted, a CiscoWorks WLSE is no longer a self-contained appliance; it becomes a server that runs Cisco WCS software using RedHat Linux ES v. 4.0. The converted CiscoWorks WLSE operates as a new Cisco WCS installation and supports only lightweight access points and wireless LAN controllers that are running Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP). Autonomous access points are not supported by a converted CiscoWorks WLSE.
Customers migrating their CiscoWorks WLSE to Cisco WCS do not need to buy a copy of RedHat Linux ES v. 4.0 software. A copy of RedHat Linux ES v. 4.0 software is included with the CiscoWorks WLSE migration CDs. (RedHat Linux AS v. 4.0 is not supported by a converted CiscoWorks WLSE.)
From this good doc;

Hope this helps!

Upgrading to a Western Digital 160GB drive - any experiences?

I'm looking to upgrade from the 60GB standard drive in my macbook to this...
http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx?Quicklinx=4LG7&CategorySelectedId=11154&Pag eMode=1&NavigationKey=11154,42240000,47250000,4294957678&InMerch=1
Does anybody have any experiences - good or bad - with this drive??
Cheers.

cool, thanks for that. Mines just the Core Duo rather than Core2Duo but I don't suppose that would make a big difference??

Any experience with USB 2.0 upgrade with VIA VT6202 chipset?

Hello,
I'd like to know, if anybody suceeded with upgrading his PowerMac with USB 2.0 PCI card, which has VIA VT6202 chipset?
I found some of them very cheap and in one e-shop there was a tiny notice about supporting OS saying - MacOS X supported! These cards are sold under different names but all of them have same "L" shape, 1 port inside and 4 outside and there is VIA VT6202 sign on the chip .
Btw I have Quicksilver 2002, 800MHz
Thank you for your answers.
Honza

Well, I've found some notices about cards with VIA chipsets and they aren't very good - NEC seems to be more reliable.
So again, does anybody have any experience with USB 2.0 PCI cards with NEC chipset?
Thanks

[share]Share with you my experience of upgrading PC with zero budgets

I saw an article on Mobile01 and thought it’s quite interested, so here I translate it.
To share with everyone

Share with you my experience of upgrading PC with zero budgets
It is believed that many people have the same experience like me, a 3-years-old PC which probably work but unbearably slow. No need to mention that when playing games, it lags all the time.
Now here I want to share an incredible easy way to upgrade your PC; what’s more, it’s free! No need any cost to make PC performance up!!
(you may say: ”What’s wrong with you?! I just wanna play a PC game, rather than mod PC. okay!?)
No worry please~ It’s the era of smart end users! For sure a higher C/P is a basic requirement. I am just talking about a better performance; it not must be along with extra costs. If you have this kind of concern, then “overclocking” may be the answer for you. In one word, overclocking (OC) is tuning you computer beyond the limit to an extreme performance. So that you have a surprising user experience just like bought a new PC without any cost.
Ok, it’s enough! I won’t boast of too much knowledge of overclocking because I don’t know much about it actually. (a truly overclocking….. means tuning voltage/ clock etc. OMG, who knows?! ahhahaha)
In fact I’m only talking about a button! Only one you need to do hold out your finger and press down the button, how easy it is. And then you can feel it get smoother when playing games.
This is what I’ve done. I make an experiment on Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, let's have a comparison of their differences.
First of all, let’s preview the configuration of my own PC:
Motherboard - MSI Z97 GAMING 5
Graphics card – MSI N750 Ti GAMING 2GD5/OC
CPU - i5-4690K 　
Power supply - CoolerMaster (1250W)
HHD - WD 3TB
Memory - WINTEC 1333/4GB DDR3
This is a close up of the model name. cause not every motherboard has this feature.
Let’s open CPU-Z on OS.
Then you can see this is Intel 4960K 3.5G, an original CPU without tuning.
Launching the game of Age of Empires II: The Conquerors HD version (single team of 500 people). BTW, it seems to reveal your age if you also know this game! Saying Age of Empires, which was the bomb of RTS games at that time.
Till here, does there anyone recall the days of the eight guys’ gang war?
Ops! I’ve told too much nonsense. Now I am showing you the differences of OC in the heavy loading condition of 8 teams with 500 people (stand-alone ver.).
Look at the bottom at left corner, you can see the Fraps number of 18. Merely 18 fraps when I tries 500 people per team. Yes, it’s true! A terrible number no wonder it lags over and over. Unbearable….. I can’t wait to try OC to see if it will be helpful.
So, let’s see how to use the easy OC feature- OC Genie.
To boost, press Del and get into BIOS. There is a button at the left upper side, click it and it will turn to red. F10 to saving and leave BIOS. and then re-boost the computer. That’s all.
(You can see a virtual button -OC GENIE. Just click it!)
(Click it and it will turn to red. F10 to saving and leave BIOS. and then re-boost the computer. This is the time to check CPU-Z now!)
(CPU clocks from 3.5G to 4G. which means you earn 15% performance for free!)
Let’s test with Age of Empires II: The Conquerors HD version (single team of 500 people), the same as the previous condition.
Impressive!! It becomes 27 fraps. Feel the smoother motions than before!!
Then, I’m going to check online game! Although Lineage II is not really popular now, I use it for the test because online game usually heavier loading and has higher requirement on PC spec.
The following two screenshots are the original one before OC (Default).
And check the below 2 pictures, those have better FPS improved after use OC Genie.
To summarize my test, here I listed the results to show how OC Genie did.
Through the chart you can find that on the condition of extremely heavy loading, the performance improved significantly. Thus, I think you can feel the differences when playing those games with complex computing such as Age of Empires or Starcraft II.
As for the normal MMRRPG games, OC Genie also contributes almost 15% of performance up. And it even optimized the pictures.
This is my test report of an easy way to make PC performance up and free of money. Share with you guys and wish it is hopeful for you
Thank you ~~~~!!

Z97 GAMING 5 is a nice motherboard. 3 of my friends are all using this one, and me too! To those who are searching for a new gaming motherboard, I highly recommend this one!

How to upgrade the OS on WCS(Linux)?

I want to upgrade my WCS to RedHat Linux 5.0. I have burned the iso image to a cd, rebooted the WCS and find nothing happening. Prior to rebooting, I start a SSH connection to the appliance so I figured that I would see it come up and the upgrade start but then I lose the connection. Does anyone have any info on upgrading the OS on a WCS? TIA

Thanks for the reply. I simply copied the iso to a cd. during the reboot, I lose my console connection. So it sounds like I am not burning the cd correctly?

Any experience with refurb iMacs?

Howdy all...
Wondered if anyone here has any experience with purchasing refurbished units from the apple.com store site? There seem to be a few deals there, and they do offer applecare, just wondering if maybe that's where all the lemons end up?
Any experiences at all would be great to hear, and don't need to be limited to iMacs... just really interested in the refurb experience as a whole.
Thanks,
adam

I bought a refurbished BlackBook at the end of June and it arrived in absolutely perfect condition - it even smelled new.
Refurbs are a great value. You get a discount, the full one year warrantee, and the ability to extend that to three years with AppleCare. For all intents and purposes, Apple treats it like a new unit.
I have even read here about people getting "free" upgrades with refurbs. Apple advertises the base configurations and ships out whatever they have in stock. Sometimes that means a larger HD or more RAM, but do not count on it. I would hold off on ordering RAM or a larger HD until you actually receive it to see what it comes with.

I have paid and downloaded LION and want to update my IMAC, can i just run install and it keep photos settings etc from Snow Leopard or is a full reinstall with wiped hard drive, anyone have any experience of this and do i need to run a backup beforehand?

Always backup your important data before upgrading to a new Mac OS X.
Lion doesn't erase the drive but better to be safe than sorry.
And run Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities). Verify and if necessary repair the startup disk before upgrading.

Any experience in moving Planning, BI+ to new servers?

Does anyone have any experience in moving Planning and/or BI+ to a new server?
We have all middleware services (9.3) running on 2 windows machine and Essbase server running on Solaris and need to consolidate the two windows machines into one.

Yes, it really is that simple. It's even easier if you have to upgrade the agents. I've already done this to migrate from SCOM 2007R2 to 2012R2. I stood up the new environment, imported the MPs and then ran discovery for the systems I wanted in that environment.
The new SCOM 2012R2 MG deployed/upgraded the agents and they were "dual-homed" reporting to the old 07 and the new 12 instance. After I was happy with the new 12 instance, I just removed the configs from the 07 agents and shut down the 07 management
group.

Opinions/Experiences on Upgrading to 10.1.2.2.0 from 10.1.2.0.2

I was looking into upgrading to the latest release of the forms/reports app server, and the readme is 160 pages. That's a lot of information to convey. Anyway, it seems to be divided into a database patch for 10.1.0.5, an AS Software upgrade, and a Metadata Repository upgrade to be applied in that order. I have a co-located metadata repository/OID infrastructure and two middle tiers, one being in a separate Oracle Home on the Solaris Box containing the Infrastructure.
If anyone has had any experience doing the upgrade, I'd appreciate your comments. Or, if you feel that there's no compelling reason to upgrade, and you recommend just applying the April CPU, I'd like to hear about that too.
Thanks in advance.

It was a walk in the park really...
Step 1 is to apply the 10.1.0.5 DB update to your infrastructure DB (that was the longest part). After that, you just run the OUI for 10.1.2.2 on the midtiers, and then the infrastructure before doing the MRUA.
Only kickers -
During 10.1.2.2 application, my midtiers were configured for http on 80 and https on 443 requiring that the .apachectl and webcache were owned by root. As a result, you'll get an error about writing to those files during the patch application. I just renamed the originals and clicked retry and the file was replaced with the new one.
Following that, you'll have to redo the web cache setroot script and reset the ownership on the .apachectl file to root again.
Other than that...no biggie

Ordering the wlse to WCS converion CD with 100 LAPS support

I am getting the below message when i tried to order the convertion product WCS-WLSE-APB-100 Option WLSE To WCS 100 AP. License And CD. N/A $4,796-
1. You are only eligible for a WCS-WLSE SKU if you have the WLSE 1130-19 and 1133 platforms. These SKUs can only be installed and run on the WLSE 1130-19 and 1133 Platforms.
Why can't i order the above said product enen though that is found in cisco Global price list.
It is very urgent issue to be resolved to order the product
Please looking for your suggestions.

Hi Bobby:
Yes, in order to run WCS versions beyond 4.2, you'll need a Red Hat upgrade on a converted WLSE. Because the conversion process brought Red Hat provided by Cisco, the converted WLSE is indeed an appliance (it's just not called that) and Cisco does indeed provide the Red Hat upgrade. You can open a service request with TAC and they'll post the ISO image of the Red Hat upgrade CD for you, or give me your Cisco.com ID and I'll post it for you without an SR.
As for your proposed upgrade path, if this was *my* WCS installation to address, I'd go:
4.1.83.0 to 4.2.128.0 then run Data Cleanup
4.2.128.0 to 6.0.181.0
6.0.181.0 to 7.0.164.0
Long and short, avoiding some bugs and letting 4.2 executables clean a 4.2 database before exiting the train, then bypassing 5.* altogether.

Hi, I am interested in upgrading to snow leopard but I've heard in some cases it messed up peoples computers. Is there any advantages in upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard? Thank you in advance for the advice!

Hi, I am interested in upgrading to snow leopard but I've heard in some cases it messed up peoples computers. Is there any advantages in upgrading to Snow Leopard from Leopard? Thank you in advance for the advice points will be given to multiple users. Here are my computer specs (Leopard 10.5.8.)
Model Name:    iMac
Model Identifier:    iMac7,1
Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:    2 GHz
Number Of Processors:    1
Total Number Of Cores:    2
L2 Cache:    4 MB
Memory:    2 GB
Bus Speed:    800 MHz

You need not upgrade unless there is something you do that cannot be done unless you upgrade. Upgrading OS X doesn't mess up anyone's computer. Users mess up their computers.
Your model has 2 GBs of RAM which is adequate for Snow Leopard although 4 GBs would be better. Upgrading to Snow Leopard will cost $29.00. You can order from Apple's Online Store. Here's a good procedure to follow:
How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

Any experience with DDR2 RAM from Legacy Electronics (PowerMac G5 Quad) ? ?

hi, I´m looking into upgrading my PowerMac G5 Quad with 8GB RAM DDR2(4x2GB), and came across a kit from Legacy Electronics for $740 (w/lifetime warranty). I already have 8GB from OWC installed, but they want $1100 for another 8GB..
Anyone had any experience with RAM from Legacy Electronics ? The price on this kit seems almost to good to be true.. is this crap ?
Here´s the specs :
8Gb (4x2048Mb) Memory Kit
DDR2-533
PC2-4200
Dual-Channel
Matched Pair
Lifetime Warranty
30 days Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee
Guaranteed Compatible with Apple PowerMac G5 (DDR2 / Dual-Core models only!)
Any input is highly appreciated.
THANKS!

B?rre S?thre-
That is an amazing price. I have no experience with Legacy Electronics. If it has a lifetime warranty that should help, but if it is the kind of company that won't be around in 6 months it really doesn't matter.
As I am sure that you know, most issues with RAM (once it is known good and working) come from subsequent OSX updates. The warranty should help with that should it not work in the future.
Lemme know if it works.

ITunes update 11.0.2. is delivering failure 103 - any experience how to fix it?

iTunes update 11.0.2. (loaded automatically in the background and signaled in the App Store symbol is delivering failure 103 if I try to install it - any experience how to fix it?

Try just downloading and installing from the Support site - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1614 - instead of the Mac App Store.
