Best server with UC on UCS

What is the best tested server models to be used for UC on UCS?

Define "Best"?
It really comes down to what your requirements are, i.e what applications are you going to use, are you going to use SAN, how many applications, what is your budget, etc, etc.
Here is a link to Cisco's UC on UCS wiki:

Best Practice for SAP PI installation to share Data Base server with other

Hi All,
We are going for PI three tire installation but now I need some best practice document for PI installation should share Data base with other Non-SAP Application or not. I never see SAP PI install on Data base server which has other Application sharing. I do not know what is best practice but I am sure sharing data base server with other non-sap application doesnu2019t look good means not clean architecture, so I need some SAP document for best practice to get it approve from management. If somebody has any document link please let me know.
With regards
Sunil

You should not mix different apps into one database.
If you have a standard database license provided by SAP, then this is not allowed. See these sap notes for details:
[581312 - Oracle database: licensing restrictions|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=581312]
[105047 - Support for Oracle functions in the SAP environment|https://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=105047] -> number 23
23. External data in the SAP database
Must be covered by an acquired database license (Note 581312).
Permitted for administration tools and monitoring tools.
In addition, we do not recommend to use an SAP database with non-SAP software, since this constellation has considerable disadvantages

Best DNS setup for public-facing Mac server with no NAT?

What's the best way to set up the DNS server as a member of an existing domain with nameservers elsewhere for a public-facing server with no NAT?
We own the domain myexample.com and it's name servers and zone files are on a hosted linux server with mail/web server services.
We now have a Mac server hosted elsewhere and we want it to be a subdomain of our myexample.com i.e. macserver.myexample.com.
We haven't enabled NAT or DHCP so the Mac server host network IP is a public IP. There is no LAN.
When setting up the DNS server, what should the primary zone be? macserver.myexample.com, or myexample.com?
Any advice would be great. Mr Hoffman....are you out there?

You do need valid DNS services. But you don't need to provide DNS on the same server. And if you're not dealing with NAT, things can get easier.
The easiest approach available is to not run your own DNS services here. This assumes the OS X Server box is configured on a static IP address, but then that's something OS X Server needs/wants/ expects.
Use the DNS provided by your domain registrar, and your ISP. Or maybe on that Linux box, if that's publicly authoritative for the domain.
Enter the host name and the IP address into the public DNS services that you have configured for the domain, or that you have at your registrar or ISP, or on that Linux box.
You will need to have your ISP for the static IP configure a PTR record (reverse DNS) for the server, particularly if you're planning to run mail or related.

UCS C420M3 server with VIC 1225 , Cant see LOM ethernet ports

Hi Guyz,
we have C420M3 server with VIC 1225 connected on PCIe slot, with Fabric Interconnet.
After installing OS & drivers , vNICs created on VIC 1225 by service profile appear, but 4 gig ports on Server LOM dont appear.
Any Idea.?
Thank

If you integrate your rack server to UCSM, you will be able to use the LOM ports ONLY for Mgmt traffic, that is when you integrate the server in "Dual Wire Mode".
There is no need (unless you have one for an special reason I am not considering in this very moment) to use the LOM ports once you have integrated the server, precisely cause the VIC 1225 is a not a regular NIC card, nor a regular HBA, it is actually a CNA (Converged Network Adapter) which basically lets you do in one card, what you would do with two (meaning "what you would do with a separate NIC and HBA")
When you have a VIC card, you actually have the option to create up to 256 virtual interfaces (that's the capability of the hardware, always limited by the OS used, please keep that in mind), that is the reason why, after the server is integrated, you totally depend on the interfaces set in the Service Profile instead of the physical interfaces.
Find more info here:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/interfaces-modules/unified-computing-system-adapters/models-comparison.html
Do you have a particular reason for using the LOM ports instead of creating 2 additional virtual interfaces in the Server's Service Profile?

Home Server with Mac Mini... Best storage solution

I have a Mac Mini which I want to setup as a home server with SL Server. The OS will be installed on the internal disk but I want my data to be stored securely and delivered fast.
Which external storage solution do you recommend:
a.) A Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ (which I already own) with Gigabit ethernet connected to the Gigabit LAN
b.) A Lacie (or other) Raid disk connected via FireWire (400 in my case) to the Mac Mini
c.) Something else
My Mac Mini is a C2D 1.83GHz with 4Gb RAM and I want to connect my iMac, my iPhone and my girlfriends MacBook to it. A general "household/kids" iMac will be added later. I will connect the Mac Mini via USB to a UPS so that it can shut down safely when mains fails. Which does not happen often over here, but still...
In case b.) the disk shuts down nicely with the Mac. In case a.) the NAS will abrubtly shut down.
I am pretty green when it comes to server stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have two mac mini servers setup as a primary server and secondary backup for our small business. I have two WD 2TB FW 800 drives on the primary with the second backup drive daisy-chained to the first (mini's only have one FW 800 port). I have the secondary drive setup as a timemachine backup for the primary drive. Works great even though my IT guy recommended a "server grade" backup solution like Syncronize or CarbonCopy. From my standpoint, timemachine does exactly what i need and pushes over a GB or two backup in seconds with limited to zero processor usage.
I inquired with my IT guy about getting two NAS drives plugged into my cabinet switch to have full data redundancy on both my primary and secondary server but he recommended against it. he had concerns on speed and couldn't confirm that NAS and mac ACLs worked well together. Any observations on this appreciated.
I would definitely recommend enclosing your setup in a cabinet and getting a UPS. I purchased a 6U cabinet that fits under my desk to secure the minis, data drives, rack UPS and switch after I had 3 bad situations of the drives getting accidentally unplugged.

SQL Clustering on C Series server with QLE8152-CNA cards

Is there any documentation on best practices when installing Windows on a c series server
with QLE8152-CNA cards for SQL clustering? Since it will be a bare metal install of Windows, this card will only present a maximum of 2 nics (FI A and FI B) to the Windows OS and because SQL clustering requires multiple nics (heartbeat, regular network), I wanted to know whethere there are guidelines on how to do this or whether it is even supported. I intend on using the failover feature in UCS Manager 1.4 when creating a service profile for these c series server which means I'll end up with 1 NIC presented to the Windows server. Thanks.

Hi Keny,
I tried to powercycle both servers (c260M2 and C460M2) but still no discovered server and also no logg.
I checked
Rack Server Discovery Policy == immediate
Rack management Connecton Policy == Auto Achnowledged
Chassis/Fex Doscovery Policy == 2 Link and Port-Channel (As I installed 2232PP I moved to Port Channel)
I am running UCSM Version 2.1(1e)
FI 6248 Version 5.0(3)N2(2.11e)
2232PP run on same as FI
I also have a connected 5108 with IOM 2104 running on 2.1(1e) Version.
CIMC Version of C260M2 and C460M2 will be checked tomorrow when my kolleague is in the datacenter.
Server Connection is not really the same like in http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/unified_computing/ucs/c-series_integration/ucsm2.1/b_UCSM2-1_C-Integration_chapter_011.html
Because I still have no VIC Card but the connections are the same.

How to control one server with multiple clients via TCP/IP

I am wanting to control a single server with multiple clients. Only one client would be active at a time, so there would be no conflict. I want to use TCP/IP. So far, I have programmed a cluster that passes data back to the server with no problems. The challenge come in when a second client is added to the mix. I have't been able to figure out how to turn each client on and send the appropriate data and then turn it off so it doesn't keep sending the same data to the server.
Here are the things that I have considered and did some preliminary testing, but don't really know how to impliment:
1. Send a numeric on the front of the cluster packet that tells the server that data is on the way.
2. Send a boolean on the front of the cluster packet to somehow turn the server TCP/IP on.
The problem I have found is that LabVIEW TCP/IP doesn't like to be turned on and off. If it doesn't get the data it expects, it goes into a reset mode and that kills the response time.
Any help?

You should consider implementing a set of simple one-byte commands that can be sent back and forth between the Server and the Clients. You can base all of these ideas off the example in the Example Finder under Networking >> TCP and UDP called Multiple Connections - Server.
You will have two loops in the server VI: one to wait for new connections, and one to send and receive data from the existing connections. For instance, after one of the clients connects, it can request control of the server to send data to it by sending the character "R" for request. Every time the send/receive loop of the Server executes, the first thing it can do is to check all the existing connections to see if any of the clients have sent a control request ("R"). If so, it will create a buffer (array) of control requests. This could be in the form of Connection IDs or indexes in the array for a particular Connection ID. Your choice.
After the Server receives a request for contol, if it is not already under control by another client, then it can send a response to the first client on the control request list. For instance, the server could send the first client a "S" command for send. Note that after the clients send their control request, they should execute a TCP Read and wait indefinitely for the server to respond with the one-byte "S" command. Then, once the client in control is finished sending data to the server, it could send the character "X" telling the Server to release it from control.
The example I mentioned above already does a similar thing. Note how when a client wants to disconnect, they send the letter "Q". You can see this in the Multiple Connections - Client VI. The Server then checks each individual connection to see if it's received this one-byte command, and if it has, it closes the connection to the client. This is what you would want to implement, but instead of having just one command, you'll have to distinguish between a few and build up a buffer of control requests.
Finally, if a client does decide to disconnect in your application, they could send the command "Q" just like the example above. At this point, close the connection and remove that Connection ID from the array of connections. You will also have to handle the case that this client was in the request control waiting line when it disconnected, in which case you need to delete it from that array as well.
This will definitely work for you, but it will take some work. Best of luck!

Create a new directory in server with JSP

Hi,
How can I create a directory in server with JSP.
File dir = new File("a");
dir.mkdir();
does not work. what do I do?
best regards,

Hi
Check the following things.
1. What is the path where you are creating the directory.
2. Do you permissions to create file in that directory.
3. do a delete on that filename if that exists just to be sure. isdeleted = filedir.delete(). Check the boolean flag isdeleted too.
Thanx and Regards

What's the reason for this message, "A server with the specified host name could not be found" ? I'm using iPhone 4s, 16gB, iOS 7.0.4

I get a pop-up message saying "A server with the specified host name could not be found", whenever I try to access any streaming websites/apps or even WhatApp over Wi-Fi and I cannot access the specific THING for that moment, and I've tried switching Wi-Fi On and Off both in my Phone and also in the Router. I got an internet connection and a Wi-Fi router just before two days, and it's happening since. I got the internet speed around 80kbps and i can easily stream YouTube videos except sometimes, I receive that annoying message. I can't even browse the internet in Safari, which says "No Internet Connection"(Even though the Wi-Fi is connected), and I can access it after somewhile (say 10 minutes, it'll be perfectly alright). I use iPhone 4s. And everything about the internet connection is totally fine in my Computer, but not in my iPhone, as I've explained the issues, above. If there are any technical settings that I should change/modify, either on my computer(Windows 7 OS) or in my iPhone(iOS 7.0.4), PLEASE let me know
I hope I've provided enough information for the reader to understand my point. (I apologize for my verbal mistakes, if there are )
THANKS

Hello Paneesh,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 4s. I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Does it open db2cmd prompt ?
If yes, check these and paste the output here in forum

Populateing Calendar Server with calendar events???

Hi all, is it possible to populate a user's calendar in Calendar Server with particular events? We are building a communications environment that will initially be comprised of Comms Express and Messaging server and later Calendar Server. This is for a student communications (ie email and possibly later calendar) system.
I'm interested in knowing whether a user's calendar can be populated with predefined events. In our case, that would be to populate a student's calendar with the student's exam timetable?
Thanks in advance,
Stewart

Hi all, is it possible to populate a user's calendar in Calendar Server with particular events? You could do this a few ways:
=> add the events directly into the users calendar using WCAP and the calmaster account to 'proxyauth' into the account.
=> create a calendar and invite the users to the 'event'
=> import the events from an .ics file from the command line.
=> create a resource and get the users to subscribe to the resource - the user can then create a calendar group which combines all the subscribed groups with their own personal calendar.
Each option has it's own strengths/weaknesses such as how to update the events if things change, how to administer/access/edit the 'source' of the calendar data for non-administrators, how the events 'appear' to the user, whether you want to allow the user to delete the event, whether the event needs/should alert the user when it occurs (alarms) and so on. You would be best trying all four and seeing which matches your requirements the closest.

Replacing a windows server with a Mac server

Hi all,
So this is a big company with about 150 employees using PC's (win xp and 7), considering replacing the current Windows server with a Mac server.
Is it possible to give users profiles once they log in like Windows server does? So when the user logs in they get to their own personal stuff? Can Mac server do that?
Can the user also get to the default printer and send prints to it regardless where they log in from inside the company?
And can the home directory to each user NOT be copied anywhere on the local machine where they log in? Meaning that after they log out there will be no traces to their files on that local PC..
Thanks a lot in advance!!

By some standards, 150 is not "big" but a large small business :-)
Regardless, please plan and test and plan some more, very carefully !
The picture for what you want to do once looked far better with 10.6 server but that had its limitations as well.
With 10.6 server, Apple was using Samba - they are no longer doing so,
but/and the version of Samba they were using only provided NT-Domain level support.
So that would not work with your Win 7 stations either. But could be made to work relatively well with XP workstations. You can no longer buy any new Mac that runs 10.6 server and 10.6 server would be hard to obtain.
Not a great route to go.
Bear in mind that the key problem with Apple's Samba was that Samba changed their licensing,
and there's not a thing in the world Apple could do to implement a current version of Samba without violating their own operating principles and the licensing requirements.
You'll be heading into heavily uncharted territory here. Odds are good that any desired domain-functionality is not going to work for you.
Honestly, Apple appears to have thrown in the towel on directory-level support for Windows,
and the best way to support Windows workstations in that regard is with Windows server and AD.
Basic filesharing works, with some caveats.
If there's no AD involved at all, then have a look at my earlier post,
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=47
Which worked a-ok for me but your mileage may vary.
Samba new current versions and GPL3 licensing issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3206725?start=75&tstart=0
"GPLv3 makes it impossible to provide signed binaries without also providing the signing keys. A few seconds of thought will reveal why Apple is unwilling to provide copies of the keys they use to sign system software. Part of locking down OS X security profile required removing anythign that used GPLv3.
Short version: GPLv3 is specifially desinged to be anti-company, and you are going to see a ever widening schism in the FSS/OSS community between GPL and all the other licenses, and you will be seeing less and less GPL code in commercial OSes and more BSD/Apache/&c code."
