CIMC 2.0.x and FlexFlash partitions for SCU, HUU, Drivers not supported?
Hello all,
We are fairly new to UCS, but are hooked for sure. We started purchasing B series blades, chassises, and FI's at first, and now are in the process of deploying C-Series Servers. Very cool stuff, then does Cisco takes some of it away, maybe?
We just purchased a C240, and noticed the FlexFlash card. After initial reading we see that you can have a Server Configuration Utility (SCU), Host Update Utility (HUU), and Drivers Partitions on the FlexFlash. Along with a 4th HyperVisor (HV) partition, which started this journey for us as we are going to install ESXi onto the FlexFlash.
But by the time we got to reading about and managing FlexFlash, we had already upgraded the CIMC & Bios to 2.0(1)b. We only see the one large ~16GB HV partition, and with SCU 4.0 there isn't much you can do about that. After reading the release notes for CIMC 2.0, we read:
Starting with this version, the SD storage device is available to Cisco IMC as a single hypervisor (HV) partition configuration. Prior versions had four virtual USB drives.
So does this mean that after CIMC 2.0, SCU, HUU, and Driver Partitions are unsupported on FlexFlash? Or is there a process to get these utilities back on FlexFlash? Because the documentation does not really make it clear one way or the other. It would seem to be a nice feature, but i would also understand why the reasons not to support it. As I'm sure the HUU updates just as fast as firmware.
Thanks for your time and support,
Nick
This is very confusing. Just received our first c-class server (220m3) with sd card preinstalled, and reading the online docs about the scu and huu partitions. Great feature! Could not see the partitions in CIMC and believed the sd-card was empty and needed to be initialized.
Followed the flexflash docs to get the card up and running:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/data-center-virtualization/unified-computing/whitepaper_C11-718938.pdf
Having spent one entire day getting the SD card to work as documented.
Now, after reading this thread, I'm even more confused (and a little frustrated) - and would really like at least the scu to be bootable from the card.
The experiences here are:
1. Booting downloaded iso image SCU via kvm (virtual image)
2. Configure network - dhcp does not work.. (tried earlier SCU, there dhcp does work.. but no update-icon...). Configures manually then.
3. After network is configured, either manually or dhcp - the Update flexflash icon disappeares..
Hitting the Update flexflash icon (after new reboot, without configuring network), a window appear with empty content. DOH.
Booting all day trying different cisco manuals and approaches to get this to work, waiting for the long boot process each time.
I would recommend that the cisco documents online are revised so we don't need to run through loops and endless cisco-pdf-redirections for nothing.
Cheers,
Martin

Hi Forum,
I am planning to but a RAID disc set up, but if i get a 2 disc set up, on one disc, can i have:
Time Machine back up for one Mac
Time Machine back up for 2nd Mac
Anothe partition for all my data.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have an Early 2008 Mac Pro. You have the specs that your Mac Pro needs for more memory > https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4433#4 As you can read, that computer should have come with 2 GB of memory.
You can buy memory at OWC or Crucial > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/Mac-Pro-Memory#800-memory Those sell compatible memory with all Macs. You can use another memory, but you can be sure that the memory that these brands sell are compatible -

i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.
You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized. The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
Are you using PSE 11 and not 12? PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0. -
I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures for my Mail are not showing up. I have the signatures inthe preference panes and selected for the email address, but when I make a new message, the signature shows as none and doesn't give me a choice. Yesterday, the signatures were stacking instead of switching to the one I wanted to choose.
I had this and fixed it.
I had upgraded to Mountain Lion and my signatures in Mail were fine. But then about a week later, I got a new computer and used Migration Assistant to copy my stuff to the new machine. Upon opening Mail, I had all the correct Signature information in the Preferences>Signatures window, but nothing worked.
After lots of hunting, I found the Signature Folder. It's in:
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
Looking at my previous setup (which works) I saw in that folder two types of files: .webarchive and .siganture
Looking in my new machine's Signature folder, I saw only the .webarchive folders, not the .signature folders
Since this was literally a clone of my previous setup to a new machine, here's what I did:
1. Quit Mail
2. In Problem machine, go to
Yourusername>Library>Mail>V2>MailData>Signatures
3. Move the Signatures folder someplace safe, but out of the MailData folder
4. Get the Signatures Folder from the working install (like a backup) and copy it to the MailData folder on the problematic machine
5. Start Mail on the problem machine
This worked for me. I don't know why Migration Assistant didn't copy the full signature folder, but this fixed it. It worked perfectly partly because I had just backed up with Carbon Copy Cloner and the very next day set up the new machine. I don't know where Lion or earlier versions of mail stored signatures, but the absence of the .signature filetype seems to be the problem.
Hope this helps -
Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

T-SQL and CLR types for return value do not match
Hi I am trying to create a CLR function to call a webservice, the CLR function return data type is double, whether I try
to create this as a table valued funcion or a scalar to return a distance travelled value I am receiving the error below. I've tried changing data types around in the CLR side and the SQL side but keep receiving the same error message, any help would be appreciated,
Thank you,

Hi lgmmo,
I think your best best to get this resolved is to contact Adobe Customer Care. Here's the contact info: Contact Customer Care.
A quick Chat session should get you fixed up.
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -

For Arabic/Persian on a Mac, the best app is Mellel. But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

Hi... I would like to purchase a Tablet Sony Xperia Z 2 10.1 (the last one of the Z series) and I was told that Adobe does not support Sony anymore.... I need to be able to open and read Adobe PDF files and I would like to know if this tablet can still use Flash Player...
Is there anyo who can help me with this? I asked in the shop and I was told "yes of course" , but when I contacted Sony directly I was advised to check with Adobe as apparently in the recent months Adobe and Sony haven't been getting along anymore...You may be mixing up two entirely different Adobe products.
1. Adobe Flash Player. Needed to view web pages designed with Flash. Not needed to view PDF files. Not available for Android (not just Sony).
2. Adobe Reader. Reads PDF files. However, the Android can also read most PDF files without needing Adobe Reader. -

Please help for this so that I can quickly capture the results from sony camera to my macbookpro. Thank you.
