Are there benefits to adding crossover cable between two servers for DFS replication and SQL Always On?

I have two identical servers with 4 network interfaces each. The primary usage for two servers is hosting SQL Server instance with Always On high availability and dfs replication. Two network interfaces from each server will be used to connect to main network,
while for the other two (on each) I was thinking about using crossover cable to possibly provide shorter path for two servers to communicate.
Will there be any benefits to doing so, moreover, would teaming two crossover cable help more?
Edit: Below is the link to the article where I got the idea of moving DFS Replication traffic to crossover. I wasn't able to find any info whether same thing is applied to SQL Always On high availability.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to connect 2 servers by crossed cable(2 NICs).
Just as the blog suggested, directly connect the servers by crossed cable and configure corresponding route entries will improve efficiency.
If both servers have 2 NICs to connect, I recommend you to team the 2 NICs for bandwidth aggregation. NIC teaming is supported by Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, detailed information you may reference:
NIC Teaming Overview

besides, for file servers, SMB Multichannel (a feature included with Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 and part of the SMB 3.0 protocol) will helpful for increasing the network performance and availability. Detailed information reference:
The basics of SMB Multichannel, a feature of Windows Server 2012 and SMB 3.0

For SQL server, suggestions in SQL Server Best Practices would be helpful for you:

Are there benefits to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro for HDV capture ?

Are there benefits to the Blackmagic Intensity Pro for HDV capture ?
I have a Sony HDR-FX1 that records in HDV 1440 x 1080
I have already captured the footage to miniDV tape.
Can the intensity card get the full 1920 x 1080 video ?
I now use Premiere to capture my video and my HDV is in mpeg2 and my SD is in DV type 2 AVI
What format does the intensity card capture at ?
Are there other ways to capture that would make the footage better.
From what I have read allot of people have had problems with these cards.
Im just looking for the best way to get the footage off my camera with the best resolution.
Thanks: Glenn

Glenn,
I have posted this before in the PC Buying Guide (post #23 and later), but have a look at this diagram:
The problem is that once recorded to tape, the material is compressed to MPEG and there is no way to get the data back, that were lost during compression. The only thing you achieve is that you lose device control, lose all timecode information, lose all metadata like date and timestamp and exposure data and lose the capability of scene detection. There are no gains to compensate the losses.
Compare it to a glass of orange juice, that was made by heavily compressing oranges. How do you think you can reconstruct the original oranges that the juice came from? Were there 4 large oranges or 6 small ones or a mixture? Were they light colored or were they dark or a mixture of light and dark?
BlackMagic in their marketing may lead you to believe otherwise, but the truth is they can only guess at how many oranges were used, their size and color. It is nothing more than a guess.

Are there benefits to buying an Unlocked phone?

Are there benefits to the above question? I hate being LOCKED into anything. Like my brother asked " Why buy unlocked and go with no contract"? I really coul not give him an answer he liked the stupid SOB

Thanks for all the info. Yeah I did buy a no-contract phone. So I'm aware of the difference. Just you hear all these guys saying how nice it is to have an un-locked or jail-broken phone but they never go into the reasons, well I guess they do. I guess but I still don't se the benefit other than the ones you and others here have given.

HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

lovethoseleaves,
Oh no! I am saddened to hear that you are having troubles with your MMS pictures. I know that this can be an important thing to be able to do. I appreciate you working with us to get this matter resolved as well. I see that you have spent time working with us, and I know that can also be frustrating. There are a few things we can check though. Are these to any specific numbers or all? A factory reset certainly should've resolved this. We can check into the account set up as well for that if need be. Please share any additional details that you can think of. Thanks.

HT201304 Are there any parental controls or restrictions I can set for YouTube on the iPhone?

Help! I need to set some restrictions for my 14 year old son on his YouTube access. He has an iPhone 4S. Any suggestions?

If you are looking for a new take on Internet Parental Controls that addresses how much time your kids can spend on-line on any device, check out this new HIPOM (https://www.myHIPOM.com) offering.
They have a very interesting free service that lets parents see all of the internet-enabled devices in your house and turn them on or off like a light switch - all from a simple web page. No software to download or configure and it works for any internet-enabled device. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and it really works. I use it to kick my daughter off Facebook after 8:30pm every night with a push of a button!
Rumor has it they are going into "beta test" with a 'Web Safeguards' feature as well that will allow parents to block content while the kids are online. It’s a nice one-two punch for internet parental controls – an internet timer control deciding when they can go on-line and a web filtering control deciding what they can see while on line.

Cannot get Telnet to work between two servers on same subnet

I need to test if communication is open on port 8444 between two servers.
I installed telnet client on a Server 2008 R2 server and telnet server on a Server 2008 SP2 server. I also manually started the Telnet service that was set to disabled on the SP2 server. I disabled the Windows firewall on both servers. They
are both on the same subnet so they don't need to go through any routers and I can ping successfully.
When I try to telnet to the remote server by typing telnet "ip address" 8444, I get an error that says "Could not open connection to host, on port 8444: Connection failed.
I tried other ports like port 80 and got the same error.
What else is needed to get this to work?

VMs have nothing to do with it, as long as there's network communication between the servers.
As I said, there must be a service or application listening on that port for it to respond. For example, try this:
C:\> telnet
When the telnet prompt opens, type in:
open mail.messaging.microsoft.com 25
If it works, you should see this:
220 CH1EHSMHS035.bigfish.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Thu, 7 Feb 2013 00:57:33 +0000
That means that Microsoft's mail servers are LISTENING on port 25 and it responded. And note, telnetting to port 25 is a non-default telnet port, because port 23 is the default telnet port. When you type in a space and then a port number, you're telling
the telnet client to use that port.
That is the SAME THING if some sort of application or service is listening on port 8444 on that other server you're trying to telnet to. If there is no app or service listening, it will just time out.
And no, installing the TELNET service on that sercver will NOT answer to any port other than 23. The telnet service by default, uses TCP 23, unless you specify otherwise.
So once again, what service or app on that server is supposed to be listening on 8444?

How to Break the cluster between Two servers

Hi Experts,
Since Iu2019m new to BOBJ XI R2.I would like to know how to break the cluster between two servers.
Description :
So far we took the copy of QAS Server1 to the new QAS server2 (Through Mirroring Tool ). Now those two servers are cluster together, I can see QAS server1 CMS Name, Cluster Name, cluster member name in QAS Server2 (CMC-> Setting -> Cluster).
Besides in QAS Server1 CMS Name and Cluster name are pointing to the QAS Server1, except Cluster Member (This is still have two members Server1 and Server2).(CMC-> Setting -> Cluster).
In QAS Server1 and QAS Server2 (CMS-> Servers), I can able see both server name under Machine Name tab.
I would like to make those two servers as independent servers. There are two different data source for those two servers. I want to remove the cluster in both servers.
Right now QAS Server1 is running and QAS Server2 is stopped.
If i create/modify a group under new Mapped NT Member Groups in QAS server2 ,it is getting reflecting in QAS server 1.
Could you please tell me the steps to resolve this problem.
BO Version: BO XI R2
Regards,
Sridharan

Hi,
Maybe the external CMS is still 'attached' to your SIA node. Please go to the CCM (Central Configuration Manager) and stop the SIA (Server Intelligent Agent). On one of the tabs you can see if there is an external CMS part of your environment. Delete it and restart the SIA. Retry if you can delete the services now from within your CMS. It may well be that you have to stop both environments and delete each others CMS via the CCM to get it working. If you have not changed any permissions for your Administrator account the security model will not be the one causing this.
Hope this helps...

Crossover cable between Servers - routing traffic

Can someone help me out please.
I have two servers of which oracle is on one and colfusion on
the other. Data cf requests is coming from a public network. Each
is part of a workgroup. I want the traffic to be routed through a
crossover cable which is not the primary connection.
Server1 - Coldfusion 7 installed. CF Application installed.
Server2 - Oracle database installed. CF Application accessing
this server.
Server 1 and 2 have a LAN connection and also a crossover
cable.
The ip addresses are as follows:
Server2: Oracle Public 111.1.1.1
Server2: Cross-Over 222.22.22.3
Server1:Coldfusion: Public 111.1.1.2
Server1: Cross-Over 222.22.22.4
There is an Oracle CF data source pointing to Server2
How do I get coldfusion to route its' requests from server2
via the crossover cable.
Currently the LAN public connection is the primary route
between both servers althought the cross over cable has been
connected.
Is what I am asking possible?
JIM

Oracle, which is on server2 is binded with the ip address of
Server2: Oracle Public 111.1.1.1
when creating the tns service name.
I create the system dsn using the ODBC Data source
Administrator and this picks the tns service name which is binded
with the ip address Oracle Public 111.1.1.1.
When creating the coldfusion data source traffic is directed
through the public route because Oracle is binded with the server
ip address.
If there was a way I could get Oracle to bind the service
name with the crossover ip then my problem would be solved I think.
Would anyone have any ideas?
There is no

Are there benefits to streaming Hinted H264?

Are there any benefits to streaming hinted h264 files? I'm creating h264 mp4 files using Telestream's Episode and all of the streaming presets are hinted, so the files are twice as large. When I normally create h264 in quicktime or Adobe Media Encoder CS4 they're not hinted, so I'm wondering how flash media (interactive server 3) handles hinted files. I'm assuming it ignores the hinted tracks.

Thanks for all the info. Yeah I did buy a no-contract phone. So I'm aware of the difference. Just you hear all these guys saying how nice it is to have an un-locked or jail-broken phone but they never go into the reasons, well I guess they do. I guess but I still don't se the benefit other than the ones you and others here have given.
Thanks again,
