Clustering and Sun Unified 7000 series

Greetings,
Just wanted to throw a question out here..
I've been demo'ing the Sun Unified 7000 Vmware image and I have to say... Wow!!! Kudos to the Fishworks Team. Very nice.
With that said, whats the outlook on being able to Cluster Messaging Server using NFS servers by these?
Right now, You have to run a NetApp, at least the last time I checked it was that way. I'd like to see these pop up quick as the standard for that.

Don't upgrade to Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1!

The latest release of AmberRoad firmware (Sun Storage 7000 Series 2009.04.10.2.1) leads to a performance regression. It's recommended not update at this time. See the Fishworks Documentation for more information: http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates

The last two releases (2009.Q2.2.1 and 2009.Q2.2.0) of the AR firmware show poor iSCSI performance.
I therefor recommend to use release 2009.Q2.1.1.

Oracle RAC and Cisco 7000 Series

Has anyone been successful with database 11.1.0.6 or 11.1.0.7 using a Cisco 7000 series router for the cache fusion interconnect.
A simple yes, if you have done so, will be very much appreciated.
We have a cluster that works with 5000 series switches and hangs with 7000 series ... trying multiple physical switches for the test.
Thank you.

It should work properly. One correction it should be switch not router. We have used the same.

ATI Radeon 7000 series and Photoshop CS5 and CS6

Interesting to note, Running windows 7 64bit I have bought a new graphics card, it is an ATI Radeon HD7900 bought to run Photoshop CS5 and 6 unfortunately the graphics card is not displayed in the photoshop prefrences, I checked the list of cards supported by Adobe and the Radeon 7000 series was listed.....I rang Adobe who states that the HD7000 is not supported, so until (if ever ) it is I cannot use the full functionality of Photoshop CS5 extended. I'm not sure if all the Radeon HD cards are supported or not, but maybe check before you invest in a new card.

The Radeon 7000 series cards should work fine with both CS5 and CS6, but as Steve noted there is a problem with the current drivers for the card. Until the 12.7 driver is released next month, I'd suggest using the following driver:
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst126beta.aspx
Use the control panel on your system to completely uninstall your current driver before installing the 12.6 beta driver. Please let us know if the beta driver resolves the issues you're seeing.
Thanks,
Adam

New major release of Sun Storage 7000 software is available

I noticed a new major release of the Sun Storage 7000 software is available at the website below.
http://wikis.sun.com/display/FishWorks/Sun+Storage+7000+Series+Software+Updates.

The format change is for BDB Java Edition 5.0 only, and does not apply to other BDB products. It's forward compatible, which means that a BDB JE application using JE 5.0 can use environments written with older versions of JE. However, it's not backwards compatible; once your environment has been opened by JE 5.0, it's been converted to the new format, and can no longer be readable by older versions of JE.
Just for the benefit of others who may not have read the changelog, here's the full text:
JE 5.0.34 has moved to on-disk file format 8.
The change is forward compatible in that JE files created with release 4.1 and earlier can be read when opened with JE 5.0.34. The change is not backward compatible in that files created with JE 5.0 cannot be read by earlier releases. Note that if an existing environment is opened read/write, a new log file is written by JE 5.0 and the environment can no longer be read by earlier releases.
There are two important notes about the file format change.
The file format change enabled significant improvements in the operation performance, memory and disk footprint, and concurrency of databases with duplicate keys. Environments which contain databases with duplicate keys must run an upgrade utility before opening an environment with this release. See the Performance section for more information.
An application which uses JE replication may not upgrade directly from JE 4.0 to JE 5.0. Instead, the upgrade must be done from JE 4.0 to JE 4.1 and then to JE 5.0. Applications already at JE 4.1 are not affected. Upgrade guidance can be found in the new chapter, "Upgrading a JE Replication Group", in the "Getting Started with BDB JE High Availability" guide.I may not have fully understood your question, so let us know if that doesn't answer it.

Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 series

We are evaluating VMWare Site Recovery Manager 4.0. Is Sun Storage 7000 Storage replication adapter compatible with 2540 Sun Storage series?

I would say the short answer would be no. The 2540 is a LSI based device, the SRM adapter for that is written by LSI. The 7000
series array is based on OpenSolaris and ZFS, quite a different beast.

3D Programming and 7000 Series set top box

I want to watch ESPN 3D but the screens are split on my Panasonic 3D Plasma screen. It is part of the Ultimate HD package but I have not been able to see it. The technicians at Verizon give me a different story each time I talk to them. One of the techs told me I need a 7000 series box to view 3D content. Can anyone tell me if this is true or give me suggestions to make this work? I also wonder if I need to connect the HDMI cable from the set top box directly to the tv via a 1.4 HDMI cable without going through my "non 3D capable" receiver or if a 1.3 HDMI cable will work like it does with my Playstation. Thanks.
Kurt

I had the same problems. This is what you need to do if you haven't tried it yet. EPSN 3D broadcasts in 720P, so you have to go to settings and change your video settings to 720P, my guess is you probably have it set to 1080i. After setting it to 720p, then set your TV 3D setting to top and bottom and it should merge the picture. I would set the setting back to 1080i when you are done with watching the channel, the movies on demand I believe are 1080i and 3D setting side by side. Hope that helps.

Host based zfs config with Oracle's Unified Storage 7000 series

Hi all,
It is my understanding that the 7000 storage displays a FC or ISCSI lun to the host. I understand this LUN is a ZFS lun in the 7000 storage, however the host still sees this as only one LUN. If I configure a host based ZFS storage device on top of this LUN I have no host based zfs redundancy. So do we still need to create a host based ZFS mirror or a host based ZFS raidz device when use a 7000 series storage array?
Thanks,
Shawn

Many thanks - telling ESX to connect to the 7310's IP address on one of the other subnets DOES appear to work!
My brain must still be addled from some other recent issues we've been having...absolutely no idea why I hadn't tried it already...
I stand by the fact that the BUI is ambigious, however - it still mentions that it's exported on only one of the networks...
Thanks again...

Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color individually?

Array of clusters and in the cluster is a bar meter, how can I change the color of the bar meter individually for each element of the array? I have just figured out that you can't change properties of one element of the array without all elements changing. For the scaling I had to make numeric indicators for each tick of the scale so that each bar meter in the clustered array would have individual scales. I also had to do some math to scale each barmeter to display correct proportions from 0 to 100%. Now I'm stumped on the color of the bar meter. Basically, if the value goes over a setpoint, the bar meter needs to turn red. It has to be in an array to be infinitely scalable.
Thanks
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can't do that-
without a little trick.
You could consider laying a custom color box over the bar graph in the cluster you can set the color based on the value of the bar graph or even make a "Pseudo"- bar graph using a series of color boxes stacked to look lie a bar and changing values of the Color boxs from empty to full to red.
Here is an example to demonstrate

Dell Inspiron 7000 series dual monitor issue

Today tried to connect Dell Inspiron 7437 to external monitor using HDMI cord; it did not work. I changed setting to external monitor only and now cannot get an image on laptop screen or external monitor when HDMI cord is connected. Tried to restart computer; still goes to blank screen as soon as I plug in HDMI.
1. How to a return to default setting for laptop display so it's only set to laptop?
2. Is it possible to connect inspiron 7000 to external monitor with hdmi?
Thank you

Hello,
Yes, it is possible to connect the Inspiron 7000 series to an external monitor using an HDMI cable. Normally you can control how the video is displayed by using the <FN>+<F8> key combination. Normally your options are LCD only, duplicate display on the LCD & the external monitor, or just display on the external monitor (projector mode). Try that key combination to see if you can toggle between the available displays.
One thing you also might want to check to see is if that monitor is set to a resolution that your system cannot handle. Here is a link to the product support pages for the Inspiron 7437, and you will find user manuals on the page that will help explain which resolutions your video card can handle. You may need to set your monitor back to default settings (see your user manual for that monitor for details) and that should enable your system to send video to it.
Let me know if any of this helps or if you have additional questions.

Dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?

I am evaluating Sun Cluster 2.2 for the usage as clustering software within our project.
Can anybody say me, if there is a dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?
Can I use Sun Cluster 2.2 with other hardware platforms running Sun Solaris 7 and Veritas Volume Manager ?

I have had this discussion with fellow cluster admins, and we think a port of cluster 2.2 could be done to Intel running Solaris. And here is the BUT, BUT SUN does not support anything except a SPARC based cluster. So currently there is definately a depedancy bewteen the 2.2 software and the hardware.
Hope this helps

Sun Unified Storage Simulator

Hi All,
I have installed Sun Unified Stroage Simulator on Virtual box 3.0.4.
Link : http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/resources.jsp?intcmp=2992
And i am trying to get SNMP data from MIB browser,
when I do a SNMP walk, only MIB1 and MIB2 data is coming ( system and interface). In fact interface data also is incomplete. I am not able to get any data related to enterpirse specific mib related to storage. Also I am not finding any wbem management support on this virtual box(on simulator).
Please help me and tell me how to enable wbem on this.
Thanks in Advance

Solaris MC and Sun Cluster?

Could someone tell me the relationship between Solaris MC and Sun Cluster?
Thanks!
Bill

Solaris MC is a distributed operating system for
multi-computers (i.e., clusters of nodes) that provides a
single-system image: a cluster appears to the user and applications
as a single computer running the SolarisTM operating system. Solaris
MC is built as a set of extensions to the base Solaris UNIX � system
and provides the same ABI/API as Solaris, running unmodified
applications. The components of Solaris MC are implemented in C++
through a CORBA-compliant object-oriented system with all new services
defined by the IDL definition language. Objects communicate through a
runtime system that borrows from Solaris doors and Spring
subcontracts. Solaris MC is designed for high availability: if a node
fails, the remaining nodes remain operational. Solaris MC has a
distributed caching file system with UNIX consistency semantics,
based on the Spring virtual memory and file system architecture.
Process operations are extended across the cluster, including remote
process execution and a global /proc file system. The external network
is transparently accessible from any node in the cluster.

Difference between Clustering and Load balancing

          What is the difference between Clustering and Load balancing?
          For example, We use Cisco Arrowpoint to do load balancing and it works fine for 3
          Sun solaris boxes/WebLogic 6.1 SP1.
          So what is the value addition to buy clustering license?
          Thanks
          Selvaraj


Hi.
          Among other things, clustering allows you to share app data (such as http session
          data) across cluster members, allowing you to failover should one cluster member
          crash.
          If your app is stateless then this doesn't mean much - load balancing alone would
          probably be ok for you.

Inspiron 13 7000 series, window8.1 64 bits is going to be expired

Hey,i bought an Inspiron 13 7000 series laptop several months ago, but recently it kept saying my windows is going to be expired. I thought i have paid for a windows system when I bought the computer. Is that true? What should I do? My service # is B8T3932.

Does your system have a Windows 8.1 sticker? If you install RWEverything can you get to ACPI tables and do you see a MSDM tab?
