Are these viable designs for NIC teaming on UCS C-Series?

Is this a viable design on ESXi 5.1 on UCS C240 with 2 Quad port nic adapters?
Option A) VMware NIC Teaming with load balancing of vmnic interfaces in an Active/Active configuration through alternate and redundant hardware paths to the network.
Option B) VMware NIC Teaming with load balancing of vmnic interfaces in an Active/Standy By configuration through alternate and redundant hardware paths to the network.
Option A:
Option B:
Thanks.

No. It really comes down to what Active/Active means and the type of upstream switches. For ESXi NIC teaming - Active/Active load balancing provided the opportunity to have all network links be active for different guest devices. Teaming can be configured in a few different methods. The default is by virtual port ID where each guest machine gets assigned to an active port and then also a backup port. Traffic for that host would only be sent on one link at a time.
For example lets assume 2 Ethernet Links and 4 guests on the ESX host. Link 1 to Switch 1 would be active for Guest 1 and 2 and Link 2 to Switch 2 would be backup for Guest 1 and 2. However Link 2 to Switch 2 would be active for Guest 3 and 4 and Link 1 to Switch 1 would be backup for guest 1 and 2.
The following provides details on the configuration of NIC teaming with VMWare:
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1004088
There are also possibilities of configuring LACP in some situations, but there are special hardware considerations on the switch side as well as the host side.
Also keep in mind that the vSwitch does not indiscriminately forward broadcast/multicast/unknown unicast out all ports. It has a strict set of rules that prevents it from looping. It is not a traditional L2 forwarder so loops are not a consideration in an active/active environment.

ACE 4710 what are these ports used for?

Hello, what are these ports used for please? What can I do with them?
Thank you

TS3274 Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos. I also have no sound. Are these common failures for a three year old gen 2 iPad?

Videos won't play. Not YouTube or any other videos (just started today). I also have no sound, keypad clicks, shutoff click, etc. Are these common failures for a three year old Gen 2 iPad?

For the issue with the videos that will no longer work, try closing all apps and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
For the issue with sounds, you have system sounds muted.
Check the side switch above the volume rocker on the side of the iPad. Flip it the other way and see if you get sound from the apps, keyboard clicks, etc.
If not, double tap the home button to bring up the task bar at the bottom. In the task bar swipe all the way to the right. Look on the far left side and see if there is a speaker icon. If there is, tap it and see if the sounds on apps come back. Then tap the home button.
You can change how the side switch works to either lock screen rotation or to mute system sounds. You can go to Settings>General>Set Side switch to Lock Rotation or mute. If you choose mute, the switch will turn off apps sounds. Otherwise you use the task bar as described above to mute those sounds.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Are these Chargers good for an iPod?

Hey everyone. Listen, today I went in town and had some time to buy some stuff.
Now i needed a charger for my iPod Touch 4G. I didn't buy the one from apple with 30 euro, i just got something else, that should do the same job.
But I'm a bit unsure that it's working well.
On the back if I can read:
Input: 100-240VAC
0.3A 50-60HZ
Output: 5VDC---1A
And the one for the car is like:
Input: 12-24Vdc
Output: 5.0Vdc --- 700mA
Now I don't know if this is healthy for the iPod. Is it? o.O
I used the one for the car (and i think the iPod is heating). That doesn't look good...
Is this my imagination? or do these things really hurt the iPod?
One other funny thing that happens. When I used these chargers, for some reason, the Audio disappears. If I open up music and so on, the volume level bar is vanished.... is that normal?
Anyway, the main question is: Are these things safe??? o.O
Thanks

I use a basic Samsung phone charger for my Ipod Touch. It outputs the same 5.0v --- .7 A.
When it overheats, thats just the battery charging.
I've used the same charger on all my ipods for 3 years now.... and they all have continued to work just fine...
You can use them safely.
Other then that, I have absolutley no idea why your audio bar may dissapear. It's most likely a powersaving feature... In otherwords, check your settings.
Hope This Helps

What are these recovery disk for??460668-001, 460669-001 and drivers 466267-B22

I had purchased these recovery disk for a laptop that I was repairing. I want to give them to the person but need to kow what laptop they go to. The first two are recovery and the third is the applications disk.

Hey,sc6lou.
What notebook did you order those disk for ?
Is there anything else on the cover of the disk or just the # ?

Newbie ? Are these settings normal for K7T Turbo2?

Greetings All,
First I would like to say I really enjoy this forum. I have learned much. Also I would like to say that I am fairly new at putting together systems so if my questions are basic please forgive me. Thanks for your patience and your willingness to teach. OK, here is my system and my questions:
K7T Turbo2 v.5
Duron 800
2 sticks 128meg = 256
PSU Sparkle 300w; 150w combined (according to sales slip)
Asus 7100 Geforce 2mx 32 meg
SB 128 pci sound card
Western D 80gig special
Acer 52x CD
LiteOn 48x12x48
Win 98se
Most curent VIA drivers
I think that about covers it.
The questions:
1) I have seen a lot of discussion about voltage seetings so I am wondering if mine are normal? They are as follows:
Vcore = 1.55v
5v = 5.05v
3.3v = 3.27v
12v = 11.60v
2) This may need to be in the BIOS group but what are the optimum seetings for this board and my stuff?
3) When I boot up I notice that just about all my hardware is using IRQ11. Is this normal?
4) A while back I saw a lot discussion about ACPI. Is it best to use it or not? If you turn it off do you have to reload your OS?
I think that about does it for now. Thanks again for your help.
Dave

Ian,
Not that I am very technical and do sometimes get mixed up in my own settings...
I got a canon A1 and use the easy set up for HV 1080i50 on interlaced footage
and 1080p25 for the '25f' footage. When using the de-interlaced filter I hit the
upper field and I am having a major headache from time to time with sequence
settings and field dominance in particular with interlaced footage but do experiment
quiet abit to my even larger frustration. I do find the '24f' frames quite pleasant to
look at - maybe it is just because it is easier to work with I dont know, but interlaced
got a reputation of being difficult.
Likewise as far as I am aware then the '25f' canon setting is as good as progressive
some will even say 'same'. check out more here

Are these steps correct for ALE configuaration ?

1.An ALE Configuration we have to do five steps
a)Define logical System (SALEsending and receiving system logical systemdefine logical system)
b)Assign client to the logical system( SALEsending and receiving systemlogical system Assign client to the logical system)
c)We have to define port at (WE21)
d)GENERATING PARTNER PROFILES(WE20)
e)Define target system for RFC calls (sm59)
f)Creating Distribution model (BD64)
g)WE42 for creating process code.
h)Send Data ( bd10)
i)Get Data(bd11)
j)BD51
k)WE57
We have to repeat the FIRST 6 steps for each of the sender and receiver and those are compulsory. I am not yet clear about the last 5 steps.
E.g. our sender is 200 and receiver is 400
So for each of them we have to do the 5 steps twice.

folow the link
http://searchsap.techtarget.com/general/0,295582,sid21_gci1130337,00.html
/people/kevin.wilson2/blog/2006/11/13/ale-scenario-development-guide
which will givw u the steps for ale configuration
steps are
. ALE->Sending and Receiving Systems->Logical Systems->Define Logical System. a. Here you add the name of the logical system for the distributed system. To make them easy to find I like to name them based on instance/client so in the case of the system listed above I would call it DM7200. This naming convention makes it easy to follow in various systems.
2. ALE->Sending and Receiving Systems->Logical Systems->Assign Client to Logical System.
a. In this step you assign your logical system to a particular client. WARNING: DO NOT CHANGE THIS IF IT IS ALREADY CONFIGURED!!! That holds especially true on an FI system as it cannot be changed once it is set. Make sure to discuss this with the Basis team before entering the data.
3. ALE->Sending and Receiving Systems->Systems in Network->Synchronous Processing->Determine Target System for RFC Calls
a. This area allows you to tell SAP where to make RFC calls based on the logical system. That means that when I want to look up Vendor information in cases like infotype 194 and 195 where a function module is called that I can tell the system where to go to find that information. To configure this you should make sure that the system where the financial information will be kept is listed.
4. ALE->Modelling and Implementing Business Processes->Maintain Distribution Model and Distribute Views
a. In this step we will define where the FI data comes from and what data we expect to receive. We will also define the system that will be receiving the payroll posting and what data we will be sending that system.
b. SAP Recommends the following list of messages to be received from the financial system:
i. COACTV-IDoc for cost center/activity type
ii. COAMAS-Master activity type
iii. COELEM-Cost Element Master Data
iv. COGRP1-Cost Center Groups
v. COGRP2-Cost Element Groups
vi. COGRP5-Activity Type Groups
vii. COSMAS-Master Cost Centers
viii. CRECOR-Core Vendor master data distribution
ix. CREMAS-Vendor master data distribution
x. GLCORE-Master data G/L accounts (CORE IDoc)
xi. GLMAST-Master data G/L accounts (master IDoc)
xii. PRCMAS-Profit center master record
xiii. RCLROL-Reconciliation ledger rollup
c. To add these messages you can follow the steps listed here:
i. Go into change mode by clicking on the pencil/glasses button or Distribution model->Switch Processing Modes via the menu
ii. Click on the Create Model View Button
Fill in the data for your model. Below is my example.
iii. Now it is as simple as adding message types. Click on the Add message type button and enter the required data. The sender is the FI system and the receiver is the Payroll system. Tip: Once you add the first message type if you select it before adding the next message you will only need to fill out the message portion and not the sender and receiver
iv. Now we need to build the partner profiles so that the systems know where the distribution model needs to get or put things. To do this go to Environment->Generate Partner Profiles.
Enter the partner system you want to use and press execute or F8.
This screen shows the successful creation of the partner profiles. If you want to see them can go to transaction WE20.
v. Now we must send the model to the other system. To do this use menu path Edit->Model View->Distribute
Now I should be able to see this model in my FI system, in this case, DM3. I can take a look at this via transaction BD64 in the other system
You'll notice that the coloring on the messages and models is in gray. This indicates that the model is maintained in another system.
d. We also have to configure the model for posting to the other system. In this case we will be using BAPI's and not message types. SAP recommends the following BAPI's:
i. AcctngServices.DocumentDisplay, Accounting: Display Method for Follow-On Document Display
ii. AcctngEmplyeeExpnses.Post, Accounting: Post G/L Acct Assignment for HR Posting
iii. AcctngEmplyeeRcvbles.Post, Accounting: Post Cust. Acct Assignment for HR Posting
iv. AcctngEmplyeePaybles.Post, Accounting: Post Vendor Acct Assignement for HR Posting
e. For the most part the steps are the same as above but it is slightly different because you use the Add BAPI button instead of the Add Message Type. BAPI's are case sensitive so you'll need to be exact.

Yet, if these fonts are applied to text, standard English characters are displayed.
Well, yes, because changing the font should not change the character set -- i.e., changing the text "Russian" to a font containing Cyrillic should not change the text to "Русский". It's just circumstantial these fonts also contain Latin characters; if they wouldn't, the text would change to pink boxes (indicating 'missing glyph').
The fonts are set apart because ID uses some sort of classification, probably based on the Unicode coverage per font; it seems to group per script. Browsing my list, I see separations between fonts for Chinese, Japanese, Korean (?), Arabic, Thai, and Hebrew.

What's it all about? Is it corrupt and should I delete these files? Do I need them?
I am just trying to get to the bottom of why my computer is always running slow.

that's where iTunes stores the cover art for your media files. it's completely normal. you will want to keep those unless you have manually embedded artwork in your files.
have a look at the Mac OS X speed FAQ instead.

Are these specs overkill for music recording/video editing?

I haven't made any purchases yet... I'm still in the planning stages. I just need your opinion on this.
I plan on making high quality recordings using an iMac, Logic (whatever the newest one is), and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interface.
I customized my iMac and I'm just curious whether or not these specs are overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish.
27 inch
3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.9GHz
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2x4GB
1TB Serial ATA Drive @ 7200 rpm
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2GB GDDR5
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple Wireless Keyboard (English) & User's Guide
Pages
Apple USB SuperDrive
Accessory Kit
total: $2,447.99
I also plan to use this computer for video editing, so if you know anything about good specs for that feel free to let me now if this would be the right amount or too much. However, is this more than enough or overkill for the recording aspect?

Totally agree with mende 1 on this.
The 27 inch model is best for what you want to do.
Also, for video editing, you really need the fastest CPU and as much RAM as you can afford.
As I stated, either the 1 or 2GB VRAM GPU will be fine for video work.
If you decide to delve into doing video work and editing, I would, also, recommend at some later date, purchasing a couple of ext. USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt hard drives to assist with the workflow.
Having raw video footage on external hard drives leaves the iMac's internal drive optimized for doing the actual software video tasks by not loading up the internal drive with lots of raw, high GB video footage.
You can, also, store audio projects, iTunes and iPhoto libraries on ext. hard drives, as well.

Are these good laptops for Premiere Pro Cs5?

Okay so I will be going off to college soon (September) and I will be buying my first laptop for this reason, but I will be doing full HD videos on it. I help photographers and videographers with photo retouching and video editing as well as making music videos and I need a laptop that will handle Premiere Pro Cs5 (acutally the whole production premium suite). I can't buy a desktop yet because my first semester is abroad and I can't travel with much weight. These are the ones I have been looking at:

I'm open to sugestions but I won't buy anything from HP, Sony, or Toshiba because I have had problems with their products.
Also would an intel core i5 handle Premiere and After Effects?

I recently purchased the Dell Studio
16 XPS with SSD and an i7 processor to do
nothing but Photoshop, Lightroom, and PP CS5
processing for approx 2 TBs of past & present video
footage (including AVCHD) and full HD 24P and 30P
footage from my DSLR; I run WIN 7 with 64 bit in 8 GB ram; all
my cache's are on the SSD and I have gigabit network
that serves up my source files at approx 40-70 MBytes/sec
(depending on the file or files); I use the QNAP TS259 Pro as
my NAS; the Dell has the ATI hi-performance graphics card
that only partially takes advantage of the Mercury Playback
Engine(no hardware acceleration with the ATI); I'm extremely
happy with the technologies; I can do the majority of my video
editing W/O pre-rendering altho at times for precision stuff I do
pre-render; having the historical perspective of using PS & PP since
1997 on Windows platforms I can assuredly tell you that the
performance and productivity uplifts from the marriage of these
software & hardware technologies is nothing short of miraculous;
I couldn't be happier; don't skimp on your laptop: 1)i7 2)8GB or more
DDR3 RAM 3) fast disks or SSD 4)HD capable monitor and 5) graphics
card that preferably takes full advantage of the Mercury Engine; you'll need
to shell out about $2500 for all of this (excluding the 30" monitor that I use with mine)
Hope this helps....

What are these devices? ( for a sunfire 280r )

ohci0, fssnap0, winlock0, lockstat0

If you use Google for each you'll find that most are software constructs, not hardware.
ohci
fssnap
winlock
lockstat
... and instance zero for each.
They are not peculiar to a 280R but are rather generic for computing systems.
http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/o/ohci.htm
There may even be man pages for each.
