Basic LMS help, or suggestions for other software

I'm looking for the appropriate software to help me manage my lab. I'm a bit new to any network managmenet software. Right now it contains about 20 different switches and routers. I have DCNM setup for my SAN and Nexus devices and we have deployed LMS as well.
I have LMS setup to aleart me of any failures or link issues etc...and its working well.
I'm trying to figure out how to get it to backup my device configs and save them out to an FTP server. Is this something LMS can do? If not any suggestions on what to use? I've thought about just writing up some expect scripts to do this...but honestly I don't want to maintain it as new gear comes in quite a bit.
Thanks!
Chad

As Gaganjeet replied, CiscoWorks LMS can do this pretty well for Cisco devices.
If you have a mutli-vendor environment, the open source RANCID tool is very handy for this sort of thing. We use RANCID to pull configuration s of not only Cisco but also Juniper Netscreen, SRX and EX series, Citrix Netscaler, F5Big IP, Extreme switches, etc. Combine it with a viewer interface such as Trac and you have a very slick way to manage multi-vendor configurations.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

Suggestions for CRM software?

Does anyone have a suggestion for Mac-compatible CRM software with a single-user license (or anything under 3-4 users)?
I realize this is the Leopard forum, but there really isn't a forum for non-Apple software questions.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at Marketcircle's 'DayLite' app?
I have used it for 4 years now (since V 1.0) and am still pretty happy with it. I thinks it's the best around so far.
Chrisnz -- i tried Daylite out and it seemed busy with features and quite slow... The most usable product I've found has been Highrise HQ from 37 Signals, but it is web based and has no pipeline. I am considering developing a custom app in filemaker at this point and may market it when done...

New Laptop w Vista - Need help transfering Palm and other software to Vista

I got a new laptop that runs Vista. My Palm TX has been the Palm and all other software fine on my Windows XP desktop computer.
How do I move all my Palm info over to the laptop without starting a lot of problems.
Will I still be able to sync my Palm on both my desktop Windows XP and my Vista laptop?????
Can someone please give me a step by step guide for this procedure:
Thanks for the help and advoe

To sync on your new 32-bit desktop you will need to download the Vista-compatible Palm Desktop 6.2.
You will also need to install Documents To Go v.10 on the new desktop as well...should be fine with Vista. From what I've seen of Beyond Contacts, you will need to upgrade to 3.0083 to gain Vista support. I don't know if that's a paid upgrade or not.
If any of your other third-party apps also have a desktop component or install a conduit for synchronization, you'll need to check with each of them to verify compatibility with Vista and Palm Desktop 6.2.
When you connect to the new computer for the first time after you install Palm Desktop software, just select the TX's current Hotsync ID to sync with, and the data on the TX should automatically migrate into your new installation. But it's always best to be safe rather than sorry. Get a copy of NVBackup (google and download from any legit source such as www.palmgear.com ), and run a complete backup onto a SD card. That way, you'll be minutes away from a full Restore if anything does happen in the transition.
Lastly, if you plan to sync with your two computers, you will need to be careful and only use one of them for full 2-way synchronization, and use the other purely as a clone to hold a copy of the data on the handheld, using Handheld Overwrites Desktop conduit settings on that second computer. Otherwise data corruption is sure to result. This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:

Suggestions for Backup Software

Hi, I am looking for backup software that is easy to use, with full backup each time and that is reasonably priced - your recommendations. Thanks - Bob61

Hi
I am looking for the same thing I think. I have a G4 Powerbook and I want a simple backup utility that will backup everything just in case my hard drive corrupts beyond repair. I had a Dantz on my old PowerMac and just hit backup and it would backup everything on the hard drive. I don't want to have to select files, drag them or at all be concerned that I am forgetting to back up some file. I was looking at the Dantz Retrospect V4.1 Express but I don't know if that is the latest, is it good or what. Is the SuperDuper a program that will just do a complete backup of the hard drive, looking for changes each subsequent time and backing all of them up?
Thanks for any help.
Hi Bob61
I've been using SuperDuper for a couple of months now
and really like it. It's priced at around $29 and as
shareware you can try it out first to see if it fits
your needs. It can be set up in a number of ways to
take care of your backup needs and will also do
bootable full backups which is, I guess, what you're
looking for. You can get it here:

Help and suggestions for color scheme for multiple flavor package design

I need help choosing colors for a multiple flavor food product line.
My objective in this post is to know how to create or acquire the palette I will need in order to proceed with design, mock ups, marketing collateral etc.
This project requires a color scheme that has enough contrast and variation to represent up to 24 flavors of food packages per type or line of products. Each product flavor or flavor combination (the name of the item, such as Cherry Cocoa Almond or Apricot Vanilla Bean etc.) in the line will be represented by a single color. The product packaging will be white on solid color. The medium will be laser print on gloss label stock.
The problem is that many flavors will use similar colors. Chocolate items will have different hues of browns and Maple or Nut flavors will also use brown tones. Likewise Orange, Apricot and Mango will use similar hues of orange etc. I know the problem could be solved with dual or multiple colors but I do not have that option for this project. All of the packaging is white on single color. There are no accent colors used.
I need to generate the palette before designing the packaging in order to create mock ups for print and then photography for print marketing collateral and internet marketing assets etc.
Does anyone have a good strategy for this or know of any resources available?
I am using:
Dell Precision T1700 (64-bit)
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
Dual screens (not calibrated to Pantone or printer)
Printer: Konica Minolta bizhub c224e
Pantone+ Color Bridge Coated and Uncoated book
Adobe CC, AI, PS, ID etc.
I am printing onto gloss labels for mock ups and will be using images for web.
I would also be interested in knowing how to calibrate these devices.
Thanks!

When it comes to design and design sense, sometimes just the name of the item could generate ideas. There really is no right or wrong way to come up with concepts. But, reaching out to other people is a good way of going about it. In product development, I always recommend putting together some sort of focus group and brainstorm ideas back and forth. In larger corporate product departments you would have product managers defining their product descriptions. You might have a marketing group head get involved. Well, I know I am not telling you anything you didn't already know. I'm just saying that, as a designer, I always present my ideas to a few people to get feedback. And, based on that, I can then further develope the idea or dump it and start over. I recently was involved with a new product development and came up with some really great conceptuals. But, then I was told by a product manager that sometimes you have to roll-out something preliminary and, in a few years of selling tons of great items, you then revamp the entire line with a tag that reads "new and improved". This might work in your case where you have limited resources initially. Hope you do well. You could always post screen grabs of what you are thinking and we could give you feedback, too. Just a thought.

How to activate Monitoring for Others Software Component ?

Hi,
I have 1 non-sap server with MSSQL database, i want to monitoring this server as well in my SAP Solution Manager : Solution Monitoring.
I have created new server, database, system, product, logical system and assign it to the solution.
but when i am trying to set "Activate Monitoring for Ohters Software component" no CCMS_Context selected from the drop down menu ?
Please advise ?
Thank you and Best Regards
Fernand

Hi Sunil,
Thanks for your reply. I check the Note:408527 but what worries me is this section in the note
Note 3:
If the MONITORING attribute is used, BR986W warnings referring to fragmented indexes are no longer displayed. As a result, this means of
determining fragmented indexes is no longer available
so what about if that index get fragmented. ?

Suggestions for CAD software?

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this question, but I am looking for good CAD application for Mac...I do not need anything too in depth (I'm a beginner) and all of my drawings will be primarily basic floor-plan layouts in 2D.
I've looked at VectorWorks Fundamentals, but it seems way too intimidating. I've also seen the CADtools plug-in by HotDoors for Adobe Illustrator, but I've read mixed reviews on that.
The few basics of CAD that I do know, I learned while using DesignCAD 17 for Windows, but they do not make a version for Mac.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Suggestions for hardware/software to VJ with videos from iTunes

I am a digital DJ / KJ and would like to incorporate the videos from my iTunes collection into my show. Any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

There occurred to me that I should have mentioned that I am assuming that you are using the trackpad and keyboard of the Mac Book which I can understand your Dad really disliking. My suggestion is that you blow a few bucks and get the extra keyboard and trackball as a present for your dad and plug it into the Mac Book USB port. You might also find it handy to hook up a monitor (20" or so). It will be so much easier to read the larger screen. You might also be aware that with mouse, keyboard and display hooked up you can close the lid on the Mac Book and the display will look a bit better not having to share the video processor with the Mac Book display.
The other thing I would mention is that it might be wise to download one of the programs that make an audible click through the speaker with each keyclick, mouse click and scroll wheel turn. I use a little Preference Pane called "Keyclick" which gives you many options on how you want it to sound (I make my keyboard sound like an old fashioned typewriter - which is a sound your Dad would be quite familiar with!) With this installed, your Dad will have much more feedback and it will make typing and mousing much easier for him.

Suggestions for archival software

I realize I'm not supposed to ask about what to buy on this forum site, but I have gone everywhere else and no one can give me a good answer so I thought I'd come to the experts.
I use Aperture to archive my photos with metadata. Is there something similar for video? I am only a hobbyist with about 10 Terabytes of video clips in many camera formats. I do not use servers. I only use one MacBook Pro. I want to archive my video with metadata so I can easily search and use them in Final Cut Pro for my hobby.(I create about 10 videos a year). Is Final Cut Server overkill? If so, what else is there?
Thanks,
Brian

FCSvr will do what you want. I think it may be an overkill for a hobbyist.
Although it is meant to be an out-of-the-box solution, it is not. We have spent an enormous amount of time developing workflows and tuning the server for an environment of 30 edit stations and 2 x XSANs with a tape archive. For this type of environment it was essential to go down the FCSvr path.
Unlike Aperture there is a steep learning curve with server. But you can tag all of your media with metadata which may allow you to easily find it again in years to come.
It sounds like your needs are simple. FCSvr is really for multi-user environments which have complex workflows which benefit from the automation of a variety of tasks such as email notifications and transcoding to multiple formats. If I were you I would spend a bit of time familiarising yourself with the Finders 'Smart Folders' and use a sensible file-naming convention along with a simple logical file-tree to help organise your media.

Wifi for other softwares

After connecting through wireless network, i am able to browse properly in default browser through wifi network, but other installed applications still using my phone data plan, please tell me howz it possible that all softwares start using the same wifi network.

Your data plan must be your default connection.
Go to
Settings->Connectivity->Destinations->Internet
Set your prorities I.e WLAN priority1 , Data plan priority 2 etc.
Then go back to
Settings->Connectivity->Destinations->Options-> Default connections
choose Internet.
access your browser and set internet as your default connections.
This allows the phone to bundle all your connectivity into the one access point so that it automatically switches from one access point to another following your priority order.
I.e if your WLAN is set as priority 1 and it is out of range the phone should automatically connect to your data plan as is priority 2.
Hope that was helpful need any more help check the forums there's been a lot of posts regarding this issue.
Goodluck

Help with iTunes for other OS

Hello. I actually am not running this on Windows actually nothing running on atm. I have an Ubuntu machine. I really don't want to pay $100 to microsoft just to make my computer feel slow and get iTunes. Does anyone see iTunes coming out for Ubuntu in the near future? Is there a way to get it or an alternative? I really would love iTunes for Ubuntu and I think many people would. I'm tired of having to keep two operating systems I want to scrap Windows 7! Thanks.

i know i have the same problem the only one thing i have noticed that is consistant along with this problem is that songs that will not go on it are all of them have a higher bit rate than songs that do go on the phone but thats the only real thing i can notice so if someone can show me how to lower the bit rate if its possible that might be the miracle cure

OpenSource Suggestions For HTTP Software

What is a good software that would allow users to make accounts and contribute poems or short stories. It would then allow guests or registered users to review it?
Last edited by Sean-Der (2008-06-04 05:26:35)

I'd recommend to use a Wiki. I think that it would serve the task of creating/gathering poems or short stories best and there are quite a few easier ones which don't generate the overhead you have by using a full blown CMS. You might want to check http://wikimatrix.org - there you can have a look at almost all available wikis and compare them.

What do you guys suggest for playing guitar thru my Macbook Air? I use guitar pro software to learn tabs but I would like to be able to play along thru the computer. thanks

I used to play my guitar thru my PC using a line 6 Guitar port, Then I could play along with Guitar Pro tabs or MP3's. Now I have the Guitar Pro software on my Mac Air and I neeed an interface (which I can get at the Appple store- guitar plug to USB) but I neeed a suggestion for what software to run as an amp simulator, maybe line 6 is the best or maybe there are others I should check out. I know there are guitar "apps" for Ipads etc but this is a Mac. BTW I did not like the guitar sounds produced by Garageband. Thanks

I'm using GJABB with Logic Express 7.2.3 and have no problems.
However, I haven't started messing around with the modulation wheel yet which is pretty important in this libary since it controls volume. The sounds are great, though. I've just raised the mod wheel on each track to get the basic arrangement done, then I'll try the mod wheel for expression.
One thing about this library is that it pretty much forces you to do single horn lines since each patch is monophonic (like the real instrument). It does produce pretty nice results that way. I haven't tried upping the polyphony as I like the results this way.

Suggesttions for iPhone SOFTWARE upgrade (v1.1 possibly?)

Suggestions for iPhone software upgrade (v1.1)
•Better compatibility
oOne thing that I believe is very important would be better compatibility with existing iPod products. I’m going to have to find a new FM transmitter/charger and new alarm clock/radio so that my iPhone will work on them, not to mention in my sister’s and girlfriend’s cars, the stereo adapter won’t play music from the iPhone over the radio or even charge the iPhone.
•Bluetooth Data Transfer
oIt would be nice to be able to transfer pictures, music, ring tones and such between my iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone via Bluetooth
•File transfer through media message
oNot everyone can access email on their phones, it would be nice to be able to send a picture or sound file as a media message to someone.
•Music used as ring tones
oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be an amazing addition to the iPhone
•Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do, so it would be easier if you could turn your phone sideways and type text messages and notes with the larger keyboard
•Save pictures from the internet
oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer like a middle man or something.
•Recording
oA voice recorder would be great, it would really help the iPhone expand into the college and business areas.
•Flash, java, and macromedia support
oThe internet browser is great but lacks one thing, support for such things as flash, java and macromedia applications such as moving images or internet radio.
•Copy and paste text
oThere’s been several times that I’ve wished I could just copy a text and send it to multiple people or resend it to the same person or something without having to completely retype it.
•Deeper Customization
oEverything I about customization now days, it would be cool if you could figure out a way to have more customization such as different themes and animations
•Photos
oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing would be nice, especially the zoom, but not necessary.
•More Apps
oI know that these are in the works but more downloadable widgets and games would be cool

Suggestions for iPhone software upgrade
(v1.1)
•Better compatibility
oOne thing that I believe is very important
would be better compatibility with existing iPod
products. I’m going to have to find a new FM
transmitter/charger and new alarm clock/radio so
that my iPhone will work on them, not to mention in
my sister’s and girlfriend’s cars, the stereo
adapter won’t play music from the iPhone over the
radio or even charge the iPhone.
The device is a phone and an iPod. There may be interference issues with older iPod accessories. Apple is working on a line of "Made for iPhone" accessories. The phone isn't even 2 weeks old, unfortunately you're going to have to hold your horses on this one.
•Bluetooth Data Transfer
oIt would be nice to be able to transfer
pictures, music, ring tones and such between my
iPhone and computer or my iPhone and another phone
via Bluetooth
This all would be pretty slow, but I think what would be reasonable is to allow all of your:
Contacts
Calendars
E-Mail
to all be synced via bluetooth OR WiFi by your .Mac Account
I think songs and videos would take forever.
•File transfer through media message
oNot everyone can access email on their phones,
it would be nice to be able to send a picture or
sound file as a media message to someone.
I'm not confident that this will definitely be supported, but considering AT&T's reputation, I think it will be supported with a software update
•Music used as ring tones
oI think everyone was expecting to somehow be
able to use their songs or part of a song as a ring
tone for incoming calls and messages. This would be
an amazing addition to the iPhone
It sure would be; I think we can expect this feature in the first software update. After all the WWDC keynote had a tab for "ringtones"
•Keyboard sideways on texts and notes also
oI have large hands and I’m sure many people do,
so it would be easier if you could turn your phone
sideways and type text messages and notes with the
larger keyboard
AMEN. I've already contacted feedback support on this one. Great recommendation, especially with text messaging.
•Save pictures from the internet
oIt would be great if I could somehow save photos
directly from my web browser on my iPhone to the
iPhones memory without have to do it on my computer
like a middle man or something.
I think we can do a little bit more with the internet. I'd be interested in:
1. The ability to open another window in a new tab (electively)
2. Support for a pre-set homepage that always pops up first
•Recording
oA voice recorder would be great, it would really
help the iPhone expand into the college and business
areas.
Another feature that was oddly omitted. It may be possible to do this with a Widget
•Flash, java, and macromedia support
oThe internet browser is great but lacks one
thing, support for such things as flash, java and
macromedia applications such as moving images or
internet radio.
Adobe is working on this.
•Copy and paste text
oThere’s been several times that I’ve wished I
could just copy a text and send it to multiple
people or resend it to the same person or something
without having to completely retype it.
It's hard to do on the iPhone, I can't imagine what kind of "tap shortcut" they would do to create this feature... it just unfortunately doesn't seem feasible
•Deeper Customization
oEverything I about customization now days, it
would be cool if you could figure out a way to have
more customization such as different themes and
animations
This would be nice, we do have now 700,000 identical iPhones out there right now, some personalization would be good.
•Photos
oSome kind of zoom and on phone picture editing
would be nice, especially the zoom, but not
necessary.
I agree that the phone, considering 4 & 8GB respectively, should have some sort of "photobooth" program
•More Apps
oI know that these are in the works but more
downloadable widgets and games would be cool
AMEN.
As everyone suggested, multiple emails to the feedback forums would get the features we want. I don't think apple, like other cell phone companies, will leave us with a limited first generation device. I think we can expect multiple updates and improvements much like they do with OS-X.
Great ideas, they sound very reasonable. Just be sure, like I have already in the past, to let apple know what makes a difference to you so that we can get some better features on this phone.
