Cable management for a C6513

hi all...I am implementing dual 6513's with slots 9-13 loaded with 48 port 10/100/1000 cards. I came to the realization that if I manage my cables equally from the left and right (24 in from each side) that i would not be able to easily hot swap out the fan tray if I ever needed to. (the cables coming in from the left would all need to be pulled to get the tray out)
I am considering bringing all my CAT5 patches in from the right side of the rack. Anyone else do this? How manageable is it to have 48 cables coming across a single slot? Any advice? If you have pictures you can send i would love to see some options. Thanks

To be honest, I just try to split them equally across the sides on my 6513s.. The MTBF on the fan tray is so high that I think it's more likely that you'll retire the chassis before the fan tray dies. :-)
Now watch mine die because I said that. :-)
In addition, I'm pretty sure based on the last time I had one powered on where the fan tray was out (when I implemented them about a year ago) that it will not stay on long without the fan tray in - meaning if you try to hot swap it without having the chassis down, it will probably shut itself down.
The Cable management that cisco provides with these really only has enough room for about 24 Cat5e/6 cables; maybe 30, but definitely not 48...
You might be able to replace the standard management and 'dress' everything in from the right by making your own cable management somehow, and making it larger than standard.. Either that or some sort of swing arm from the right that you can strap the cables to, then unplug and swing back if you ever had to replace the card, if you're going to have to make something anyways :-) .

T5120 cable management arm and exhaust air flow obstruction

Hello Folks
Concerning Sun servers of 1-U in height... There is debate as to whether the effectiveness of heat transfer out of the chassis is actually impaired by the use of a cable management arm at the rear of a rack mounted server.
From my experience I see this as more of an issue with I-U servers rather than those of 2-U or higher, where enough of the air exhaust flows over the cable management arm.
We have a fair variety of server models, including a T5220 and 14 T5120's. We have used the supplied cable management arm on the T5220 and two T5120's. I notice that the surface temperature of the cable management arm on the T5120's that faces the exhaust is quite hot to the touch, (I'm guessing over 60 C). The metal of the cable management arm conducts the heat and the insulation of the cables does not seem to be effected. However the heat content in the exhaust seems high enough to keep the surface temperature of the cable management arm fairly hot, and much of that heat does not dissipate well into the frame of the rack as there is a mix of materials, metal with insulators like plastic, paint, and air.
Although this type of cable management arm is supplied with the T5120, I am thinking that its use for these 1-U models of servers may be detrimental. The cable management arm was installed in accordance to the instructions in the Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Installation Guide, doc 820-2178-12 July 2009, Revision A.
The "Sun SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 Servers Site Planning Guide", doc 820-2177-12 July 2009, Revision A, states Allow a minimum of 5 mm (0.2 in) clearance at the front of the system and 80 mm (3.1 in) at the rear of the server when mounted. However the installed cable management arm reduces the rear clearance by about one half.
The focus is to remove heat from the server, whether that is achieved via conduction or convection. Conduction does not seem too effective in this case. Convection of exhaust air flow is obstructed. The Site Planning Guide also does state Manage cables to minimize interfering with the server exhaust vent., which may lead one to deduce not to use the cable management arm at all and route the cables straight out.
What do you folks out there prefer? Why would Sun even supply these cable management arms with these 1-U servers?
Cheers, Roger

Good one, John! Been waiting for your impressions for a while now...
We seem to share the overall opinion about the 180; it's ok, but could definately be improved upon!
My major concern right now is NOISE. Tried the Zalman Fan Mate to quiet the intake fan for the HS, but that seems to affect the CPU-fan as PC Alert reports it as running at 0 rpm from time to time, even though I'm sure it doesn't. And a few days ago the intake fan got a lot noisier than it was from the start, so it's probably giving up the ghost already
Currently awaiting a Papst 60x60x15 to replace it with, hopefully that'll fix the noise problem too!
Noticed your recommendations as to placing quiet fans on the inside of the chassis, and although that is a nice idea it could be difficult on the Mega considering the side panels and top panel are one piece of metal. Could actually be difficult to put the cover back on! If you try something in the way of replacing the HS and/or fans you're more than welcome to share your experiences in this forum!
The few of us who are still clinging to our Mega 180's will need all the help we can give each other, since official support from MSI seems to be held at a minimum...
Cheers!

Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.
Thanks,

6000 Chassis cable management

Hi all,
I'm just curious what you folks have done to neatly wire up your 6000 chassis.
We currently have four chassis, with two actually wired up and in production. It's a pretty big mess back there.
For our two new chassis, we'd like to really pay attention to cable management because we will need both NEMs wired, as well as a quad NIC and dual fiber card for each blade.
How did you tackle this issue? Any pictures to post?
Thanks!

You sound like the guys who wired my existing house for my home theater. They ran cables for some add-ons, to be done later and by outer suppliers. I have gotten nothing but compliments on the job that they did. The installers kept commenting on how easy everything was, because there was always plenty of extra cable, each was clearly named and easily accessed. The later phases all went perfectly and in far less time than budgeted. A little work early on can pay dividends. I'd let those guys wire any new home, without hesitation.
Neat setup,
Hunt

Bussiness Contact Manager for outlook 2013 download hijacked by

HI
I am using Outlook 2013 downloaded as part of the Office 365 small business premium package. I am trying to download Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2013 (via
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36513).
The file downloads fine, and then when I go to run the file the download seems to get hijacked by Premium Installer (see screenshot).
The BCM file then will not download irrespective of whether I accept or decline the Premium Installer download.
The file seems to have something to do with Zoom Downloader.
I have tried to remove Zoom Downloader with various anti malware software (hitman pro, Malwarebytes, etc etc).
I have scanned my machine with the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool and AVG and neither have picked up a threat.
Please help as I do not know whether this is a problem with my machine or the particular download.
Thanks

I did a complete uninstall of Driver Tuner, including making sure all traces were removed and after each attempt of downloading Business Contact Manager the download file still tries to install Driver Tuner and I cancel the installation.
Strange that you say you can download with no problem, but have you tried to install? Microsoft Tech support was having the same problem and was having trouble even finding a mirror site that BCM could be download from without experiencing the same problems
of the download trying to install a different program.
Have you tried downloading BCM recently? Perhaps you could share where a clean copy of BCM 2010 can be downloaded. And before you think there is no problem, try and install it. After the extraction is when another program tries to install.
Again, short of formatting my drive and reinstalling all programs, everything has been checked and my system is clean.
So you think Time Warner Cable DNS has been hijacked? If so, why is it only the program files from the Microsoft site that has this problem.
Please share the site where a clean copy of BCM 2010 can be downloaded.
I visited the link provided by the OP and downloaded the offered file
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=36513
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/confirmation.aspx?id=36513
http://download.microsoft.com/download/B/3/3/B333E334-EBEB-451E-AE76-ACD0C1AB1A6A/BCM2010-BCMSetup-x86-en-US.exe
It has downloaded cleanly for me, extracted, installed, and running fine, no sign of DriverTuner or anything else that has been mentioned here so far.
I did need to have Office2013 installed - this BCMsetup refuses to install with only Office2010 (despite the filename, not all that surprising).
So I'm guessing that your uninstallation of DriverTuner might have left some remnants behind, and that is probably hooking/intercepting the download and/or the BCMsetup you're doing, or there's some other crapware lingering.
And true, I agree it's unlikely that Time Warner Cable DNS has been hijacked (but at the time you posted, who knew if you were using an ISP DNS or some other local thing) - it's much more likely that your pc is infested with some further junk.
I'm in Australia, so I could be contacting a different Akamai CDN host than you are using, but since there aren't floods of people complaining about the same issue you're having, I'd guess it is a localised issue for you.

Questions on "FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs"

Hi,
I just got through the FAQ - SAP Solution Manager for VARs, but have some further questions:
For me it is not quite clear which connections are necessary for which VAR scenrio.. currently we have setup the service desk in our solman. Customer's aren't linked to the solman yet - we have saprouter-saprouter connections. Connecting them via SAP support backbone is an interesting option, especially for incident management. To get this working we should follow note 1124718 right?
But what about the other scenarios like maintenance optimizer and ewa monitoring? I guess for that we definitly need to build up RFC connections to each relevant customer system (~300+x)?! I think it will be hard to handle so many connections - just consider if a customer is cancalling the maintenance contract, everything needs to be removed again... best would be to have a central communication point...
For MOPZ we need up-to-date system information. So everyone is talking about SLD. Do you also recommend this option? There we need again a connection (direct to SolMan SLD or via external SLD on customer side).
According to the FAQ there is a workaround for ewa monitoring for customers with security doubts.. is this also working for non-ABAP components? We need SMD and WI for generating ewas for JAVA systems...
With regards to Enterprise Support contract: ewa only need to be monitored for productive systems? Can a customer be charged if they want to have ewas monitored for other sytems too? How long do we need to keep the ewas (1 month, 3 months, half year) before they are deleted? Are there any specific requirements?
All the work to get these scenarios working.. is this covered within the Enterprise Support contract? Can the customer be charged for work thats done by the VAR in their system (e.g. RFC connections, SDCCN, SLD,...)?
Sorry for this long text.. hope you have some helpful ideas!
Regards,
Richard

Hello Richard,
(1) regarding network connections see document [Draft:Technical Support Network Connections for VAR Scenario|http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=00200797470000089947&_OBJECT=011000358700000880802009E] as overview and with a lot of detailed information.
(2) yes, you have to setup once all your customer connections at the beginning but then only add/remove with customer contract changes
(3) the workaround by sending by email can handled a anexception. EWA has to be done for productive systems like nowadays done by SAP. Additional EWA services could meas additional business case for a VAR - that's contract between VAR and customer.
(4) whatever you think may be a business to sell - do it ! (and get a monetary bonus from your boss
Kind regards
Heinrich

Wants to activate batch management for a material which already had a Stock

hi,
i want to activate batch management for a material which already has a stock and open Purchasing documents.
is there any way by which we can do it without removing the same.
please help.

program name is RVBCONVMAT2BM
but i am doubtfull it will be delivered with standard SAP, you need to request you from SAP as they charge for this.
this program convert the material to batch and all relevant dependant documents will be updated with batch no.

pasting some description of the program
REPORT rvbconvmat2bm.
Report illustrates the call of function module VBZ0401_CONVERT_OBJECTS
which sets the batch management flag for one material including
depending objects. Function module VBZ0401_FILL_BUFFERS helps
improving the performance.

How can I re-install the OS with Deskstop Manager for Mac

I just downloaded the Deskstop manager for Mac, tried to upgrade by BB software and it gave me the JVM Error 513. Luckily I backed up all info cause I know that means the whole thing is erased. How do I on a Mac re-install the software? When I connect it to the computer it does not recognize it?

Hmm.. that is kind of weird.
I did a quick search and came up with this:
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=KB13003&sliceId=SAL_Pub...
You should be able to restore software onto your BlackBerry by disconnecting and then reconnecting it. BlackBerry Desktop Manager will have show "Connecting" at the bottom of the window, and then it should eventually recognize that software needs to be releases onto it.

Please check this answered link:
Batch-classification view
If you want classify a batch, then you should have maintained the batch classification in material master which is either class 022 or class 023 (depends on your batch level set in cusotmizing). The material class 001 has no impact on the batch classifcition, it is what it is: a classification for the material.

How assign a "Project Manager" for a new project?

Hello,
I need to know about the "Project Manager" in a new project.
Does the "Resource Manager" build the team and assign a "Project Manager"?

It totally depends on your organization process.
Normally PMO creates project, build team,assign resources to tasks, then while save and publish the projec assign Project manager as owner for the project plan.
If you have Resource manager in your organization then he can build the team for the project publish it then PMO or project manager can assign the resource to the task then save and publish the plan.
IF project manager has idea about resources then he can also build the team and assign resource to the task.
Note :- once PMO or resource manager build the team and publish the project then Project owner need to open the project plan add new field in the plan STATUS MANAGER and select his name for all task for which he will give the approval to the actual of the
task send by resources.
By default who ever will create project act as STATUS MANAGER for all the task.

Can't find Enterprise Manager for standalone OC4J 10.1.2.0.2

Hi
I downloaded standalone OC4J 10.1.2.0.2 from here so I could experiment deploying webservices to it
http://download.oracle.com/otn/java/oc4j/1012/oc4j_extended.zip
It installed successfully and I managed to start it ok. When I point my browser at it the home page displays but there does not seem to be an enterprise manager page. I have a jdeveloper 10.1.3 install and when I run the OC4J supplied with that I can navigate to an enterprise manager page and view applications and webservices.
This is the home page for the 10.1.2.0.2 install

This is the homepage of the 10.1.3 install supplied with jdeveloper

In the 10.1.3 screenshot you can see a link to "launch application Server Control". This is missing on the 10.1.2.0.2 homepage. Should it be there for both versions?
