Cannot configure SAN parameters in MDS 9000 after AAA authorization

After logging into a cisco MDS 9509 (Version 5.2(1)) using ACS authentication. I cannot configure changes in the SAN but am able to make changes to the non SAN related parameters of the MDS i.e. hostnames usernames etc.
Disabling AAA and using local authentication I can perform SAN changes.
Any ideas?

hi,
Check the role assigned to the user used for AAA authentication, because it may not have enough credentials.

I cannot configure the clients with POP account after migrating the Exchange from 2007 to 2013

Hi,
When i configure the POP account on Outlook 2010 is giving the error message
"Send test e-mail message: Cannot send the message. Verify the e-mail address in your account properties. The server responded: 550 5.7.1 Client does not have permissions to submit to this server"
please help me out on this,
Thanks in advance

The OP says users can't send mail. POP is not used to send mail.
I strongly recommend you have users reconfigure their clients to send using port 587. This has been the default configuration since the introduction of Exchange 2007. You can modify the default receive connector, or add another receive connector
to allow clients to connect and authenticate if you want, but when you do so, you will risk causing message mail flow to fail.
I am not going to try to tell you how to do it precisely because I don't want to be a party to you messing up your mail flow. Here's more documentation on receive connectors from TechNet.

ISCSI-to-FC routing in Cisco MDS 9000 Family

Hi,
I'm puzzled about support for iSCSI-to-FC routing in the MDS 9000 family. Earlier hardware such as the 9216i switch and the MPS-14/2 module had a feature to allow an iSCSI Initiator to connect transparently to an FC target. This equipment is now EOL and has been replaced by models such as the 9222i switch and the 18/4 Port Multiservice Module. The datasheets for these replacements strongly imply that they support iSCSI-to-FC routing in a similar way to the earlier products - for example "iSCSI for extension of the SAN to Ethernet attached servers - Extends the benefits of Fibre Channel SAN-based storage to Ethernet attached servers".
I tried to find some hard technical info to confirm this. Chapter 4, "Configuring iSCSI" in "Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS IP Services Configuration Guide Release 5.0(1a)" says that the feature is only available on the IP Storage Module, the 9216i switch, and the MPS-14/2 module, all of which are now EOL. It doesn't mention the replacement models in connection with this functionality, though they are mentioned elsewhere in the book for other features such as FC over IP. I've searched for documentation of the iSCSI support on the new models and the only document which seems relevant is this chapter - but it says it doesn't apply to these models.
Do the replacement models support iSCSI-to-FC routing or not? The datasheets use wording nearly identical to the earlier models in this area, so I assume they do. If they do, how is it configured and where is it documented? I sent feedback on this to the documentation feedback address a while ago, but haven't had a reply.
Many Thanks,
                            jjf

The "Configuring iSCSI" chapter in both 3.3.3 and 4.1.1 documentation similarly talk about IPS and 14/2 modules but make no mention of 18/4, however I've used iSCSI on the 18/4 with both releases. I can only guess the same is true for 5.0 since I have yet to load 5.0 on any switches.
In terms of other documentation I don't think there is any, but all the required information is presented in the "Configuring iSCSI" chapters however it's not the easiest thing to understand from the documentation. Following is the overview I sent to a teammate on how to setup iSCSI.
1. configure Ethernet ports with ip addresses
1a. add a route to the host, iSCSI client, via the gigabit interface 2. enable iscsi on the switch
2a. enable iscsi on the module with the gige port
2b. 'no shut' the iscsi interface corresponding to gige port
      e.g. gige3/4 -> iscsi3/4
2c. no additional configuration of the interfaces is needed, although at some point turning on authentication would be a good idea
3. create iscsi initiator
3a. use the clients ip address as the initiator name, using the node name would be better but I haven't tried it that way so ymmv
      e.g. 'iscsi initiator ip-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
3b. use a "system assigned" nwwn and set it static
      e.g. 'static pWWN system-assign'
3c. allocate one "system assigned" pwwn and set it static
      e.g. 'static pWWN system-assign 1'
3d. assign vsans, an iscsi initiator can be in more than one vsan
      e.g. 'vsan xxx'
4. create targets
   spcsw1(config)# iscsi virtual-target name iqn.000190300646.fa02cb
   spcsw1(config-iscsi-tgt)# pwwn 50:06:04:8a:d5:f0:79:a1
   spcsw1(config-iscsi-tgt)# initiator ip address xx.xx.xx.xx permit
5. zone the iscsi initiator's pwwn to the target pwwns, use 'sh iscsi initiator configured' to see the pwwn
6. configure the hosts iscsi initiator, usually not much more than specifying the ip address of the gige port on the MDS

I cannot configure yahoo small business after upgrading to Mavericks Help needed

Hi Guys,
it is as simple as that:
I cannot configure yahoo small business after upgrading to Mavericks Help needed
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

Hello. First time using this. Still trying to figure out how to post my questions. I seem to have lost some of my settings and now I cannot configure my airport connection. How do I get my settings back?

If you are using cable and a Nethear router sounds like from the information you provide before your Airport setting are setup improperly. PPoE is not something a cable service would need to work. Fallow the steps I will provide bellow, I will add some screen shots also to assist if necessary.
1 - Open System Preferences from  (Menu)
2 - Click "Network"
3 - From the Network window you are going to wanna make sure Location is : Automatic and Show is : Airport
4 - Once the Show: Airport is select you should see a window like this, my window is selected for Ethernet simply because I am no longer running Tiger but the window will look the same.
5 - You will want to click on the PPPoE tab and you should see this
6 - You're gonna wanna make sure " connection using PPPoE " is not select, if it is make sure to uncheck this option
7 - Once this is uncheck make sure to click "Apply Now"
8 - You will want to click back on to the "TCP/IP" tab and make sure IPv4 is set to " Using DHCP "
9 - If the option to " Apply Now" is available again please click this
10 - Once this is done go to your Aiport Menu and see if your network is listed and select your network and eneter the password if necessary.
11 - If after these steps you still have issues I would recommend Power Cylcing your Router and Modem for about 5 minutes
12 - Make sure all lights are off when unplugging the Router and the Modem
13 - Some Modems have backup batterys so you may have to push in a tiny button on the back with a pin

Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router?

Cannot locate wireless Airport hubs in Airfoil after upgrading modem and router? Just replaced modem and router-Airport is working for internet connection, but I cannot locate the two additional sites in my home to feed music to. Each is connected with a Apple wireless hub. Thanks

To work in this configuration, you just need to setup the AX as a bridge.
To set up the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) as a bridge, using the AirPort Admin Utility, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, make these settings:
Network tab
- Distribute IP addresses (unchecked)
- Apply the new setting.

MDS 9000 cli structure query

Hi all,
I have been reading the following documentation:
Cisco MDS 9000 Family CLI Configuration Guide, Release 4.x
My question is more to do with CLI commands, so if I have posted to the wrong forum let me know where I should have posted my question and I'll imediately take action.
Question: Can CLI commands be performed on one line?
For example, to create a a VSAN the documentation shows a number of separate rules:
1) vsan database
2) vsan 2
3) vsan 2 name TechDoc
It seems rule 3 is dependent on having entered into a specifc submode from entering rules 1 and 2 first.
Could a single rule have been written?
vsan database vsan 2 name TechDoc
Similarly, to create a Zone:
1) zone name Zone1 vsan 3
2) member ip-address 10.15.0.0 255.255.0.0
Could the following have been written?
zone name Zone1 vsan 3 member ip-address 10.15.0.0 255.255.0.0
The reason I ask, is that I am also looking at the following documentation:
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference, Release 5.x
and it appears to suggest rules can be defined in one swoop. For example with the vsan database command it seems to also have the vsan-id and interfaces, ports and so forth all included:
vsan database vsan vsan-id [interface fc slot/port | fcip fcip-id | fv slot/dpp-number/fv-port | iscsi
slot/port | port-channel portchannel-number.subinterface-number} | interop [mode]
[loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id}] | loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id} |
name name [interop [mode] [loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id}] | loadbalancing
{src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id} | suspend [interop [mode] [loadbalancing {src-dst-id |
src-dst-ox-id}] | loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id}] | suspend [interop [mode]
[loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id}] | loadbalancing {src-dst-id | src-dst-ox-id}]]
I also notice that there seems to be multile commands that can be used to achieve the same thing:
For example, command "vsan database" has an option to specify an interface:
Again aplogies for perhaps ridiculus questions, but I am just starting out with this area. Any inights are greatly welcomed.
regards,
Brian

Hi Vu Phan,
Thanks for responding.
Would it be possible for someone to run such a command on a MDS 9000 switch and send me the output.
I actually do not have access to a physical switch (academic budget constrains). I am an academic who wishes to construct a formal model and would like to be able to model the CLI in real world terms and not from a typical academic view of the world (often an abstraction of an already abstracted view of the world) :-)
Jumping back to my original question, is it possible to perform two or three rules in one rule? Presumably there will be cases where it is and is not possible.
Many thanks,
Brian.

The Cisco MDS 9000 Port Analyzer Adapter

Hi,
At my client place, we are having an issue with BackUp via TSM and a library.
We would like to analyse the traffic that pass in the Fiber Channel of our MDS-9513.
From what we saw, Wireshark, our soft to analyse network traffic is only using NIC card to analyse.
Is the only way to analyse the FC traffic to pass via "The Cisco MDS 9000 Port Analyzer Adapter" ?
If that is the only way, is there a way tor ent this equipment for the time necesery to analyse our trace ?
Thank you in advance for you help.
Christian Carrier

The Cisco Traffic Analyzer provides real-time analysis of SPAN traffic or analysis of captured traffic through a Web browser user interface. Traffic encapsulated by one or more Port Analyzer Adapters can be analyzed concurrently with a single PC and ntop, which is public domain software enhanced by Cisco for Fibre Channel traffic analysis. This Cisco Traffic Analyzer solution enables you to quickly determine the throughput for traffic between specific Fibre Channel sources and destinations, all traffic in a particular Virtual SAN (VSAN), or all network traffic. Round trip response times, SCSI I/Os per second, SCSI read vs. write traffic throughput and frame counts, SCSI session status and management task information are provided. Additional statistics are also available on Fibre Channel frame sizes and network management protocols.

Cannot configure my AirPort Express (1st generation) anymore. Am using AirPort Utility 5.4.2 Setup Assistant. What do I do wrong?

I cannot configure my AirPort Express (1st generation) as base Station anymore. I had to reset it because I lost my password.
I first tried my IPads (IOS 6). These returned the message: Your AirPort Express cannot be configured with this software. Go to apple.com/nl/support/airport for more information.
As it is an old one, I have downloaded the eldest available AirPort Utility I could find on the Apple site (AirPort utility 5.4.2) to my computer. I ran the AirPort Setup Assistant wireless and the assistant found my AirPort named " Apple Network XXXXX". (I notes that the Assistant also returned the message: If this is not the AirPort Extreme you want to set up ...)
I clicked <NEXT>
After trying to connect to Network, I received the message: Cannot connect to network or there are no AirPort base stations on the network.
To be sure I retried running the Assistant after connecting the computer and the AirPort using an ethernet cable. The error message was the same.
What do I do wrong?
Am I using the wrong Utility software? If so, which version do I have to download and from where?
Is a first generation AirPort anyhow compatible wth 4the generation IPads or shoud I just buy a new AirPort.
I hope someone can help me...

Ok, thanks for clarifying that for me. You are correct. Your iOS devices will NOT be able to administer the 802.11g base stations because the version of the AirPort Utility that they use is incompatible.
For Windows XP, AirPort Utility for Windows v5.5.3 should work. However, v5.4.2 that you have should work as well.
Your XP computer needs to connect to the AirPort's wireless network BEFORE you can access the AirPort with the AirPort Utility. You may want to try connecting your computer directly to the AirPort using an Ethernet cable.

Small bug: Database configuration - Initialization parameters

Hi!
SQLDeveloper version: 3.2.20.09
View -> DBA -> Database configuration -> Initialization Parameters -> right click "Open" -> editor with "Parameter" and "Value" (inter alia) columns appears
Changing value for parameter "optimizer_features_enable" isn't working:
Example:
Parameter: optimizer_features_enable
Changing value from 11.2.0.1 to 9.2.0 -> commiting changes -> ORA-02017 error appears ("integer value required")
In "Messages - Log" window appears the following statement: ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_features_enable=9.2.0 COMMENT='' SCOPE=MEMORY
I think rather it should be: ALTER SYSTEM SET optimizer_features_enable='9.2.0' COMMENT='' SCOPE=MEMORY
It looks like a small bug.

Hi dz_r,
One workaround for this case is, when editing the data in the grid cell, to enclose the Oracle version in single quotes. After committing to apply the update (which works), the grid refresh strips away the single quotes, leaving the desired value displayed in the cell.
So this is, as you say, a small bug. Note that not all parameters of type String require single quotes, e. g., cursor_sharing=exact. Probably any String beginning with a numeric digit should be enclosed in quotes automatically.
I logged the following bug:
Bug 16733790 - UPDATING INITIALIZATION PARAMETER OF TYPE STRING FAILS IF BEGINS WITH A NUMERIC
Thanks for reporting this,
