CSS ACTIVE/ACTIVE SCENARIO WITH JUST TWO SERVERS ??? POSSIBLE??

Hi
I'm gonna have a setup of TWO CSS11503 Content Switches with standard WEBNS feature set
in an ACTIVE / ACTIVE VIP and Virtual interface redundancy scenario for load-balancing just
two web servers initially.
Can I hv this setup up & running if I configure the two servers with different default
gateway addresses on the private side and two static routes in the private side Layer3
for two different VIP addresses in the public side ??
Any better suggestions for this scenario.
Thanx

Firstly - what Gilles said.
Having said that, I'm using some content switches in active/active modes in a couple of places in a geographically distributed gateway. Active/Active lets us improve our redundancy characteristics and allow for device failures as well as link failures between the gateways.
There are lots of complexities that arise if you take this path - you will need to do a lot of logical math and testing about traffic symmetry under all of the different failure conditions, because you introduce the possibility that response traffic could come back at L2/L3 through a different CSS than the request traffic.

CSS11501 - VIP Setup for DR in Active/Active Mode

I have the following request from the Email team:
EXISTING - CSS at Site A (in one-armed mode) supports "webmail" app for the following ports:
- content webmail_http, port 80
- content webmail_https, port 443
- content webmail_imap, port 143
- content webmail_imaps, port 993
- content webmail_pop3s, port 995
NEW - Adding 2nd CSS at Site B support the same app/tcp ports with new servers/mailboxes at site B
Site A & Site B are physically/logically separated by a MAN (behind different WAN/LAN routers/switches, in different IP subnet/vlan).
Want to setup DR in active/active mode, ie. both CSS's at Sites A & B support "webmail" VIP - load sharing.
How would CSS config be setup for this request:
Main VIP - "webmail"
Load sharing between 2 VIP's - "webmail_siteA" & "webmail_siteB" from 2 CSS's at different sites?
Pls help.

Diane Ly

Hello Diane
There are 3 different ways to handle an active/active setup - you can use 'VIP and interface redundancy', GSLB on the CSS ,or a GSS and CSS combination.
Vip and interface Redundancy:
http://cco/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_configuration_example09186a00802206a3.shtml
CSS GSLB:
http://cco/en/US/products/hw/contnetw/ps792/products_configuration_example09186a00801dcd75.shtml
GSS/CSS Combo:
There are no direct examples, but in effect, you would have 2 different domains, one for each site. The answers for those domains would be vips and based on both Kal-Ap and rtt from the client to each answer (hence if a site goes down, the client will be directed to the other side.) With this mode, the CSS's can be configured for no redundancy/awareness of eachother at all if that is what is desired.

CSS active-active stateful failover

Dear All,
May I confirm if CSS can do active-active stateful failover? If so, is it any restriction? and any Cisco URL I can refer to?
Thanks a lot.
mak

what do you call active-active ?
There different ways to achieve active-active.
What we can do is 1 vip active on 1 CSS-A and standby on CSS-B and a 2nd VIP active on CSS-B and standby on CSS-A.
But do you really need this ?
CSS can handle quite a huge amount of traffic so I never saw the need for active-active.
The failover can be statefull with CSS115xx not with CSS110xx or CSS118xx or CSS111xx.
Here is a sample config for one-armed mode but you can also have multiple vlans.

How to get the number of current active external modes?

hi all,
I need to get the number of currently active external modes. This can be done by calling function THUSRINFO. But this only works propperly, if you are logged on only once. If you are logged on more than one time then the function returns several entries in the parameter USR_TABLE. The entries mainly differ in the first parameter TID (type UTID, INT4) "terminal-identification" but how can I know which is the valid one for my current session. Functions TERMINAL_ID_GET, SPH_TERMINAL_IDENTIFY and SPH_TERMINAL_ID_GET dont work.
Or is there another way to get the number of active external sessions?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Hi,
tables: usr02, usr41.
data: OPCODE_MODE_COUNT(1) TYPE X VALUE 3,
      modes like sy-index,
      u_MODES LIKE MODES.
select * from usr02.
select * from usr41 where BNAME = usr02-bname.
    CALL 'ThUsrInfo' ID 'OPCODE' FIELD OPCODE_MODE_COUNT
      ID 'TID' FIELD usr41-TERMID
      ID 'MODES' FIELD MODES.
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      u_MODES = u_MODES + MODES.
    ENDIF.
endselect.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    write:/ usr02-bname, u_MODES.
endif.
clear u_modes.
endselect.

Can't change activation only mode to off using the command line in Windows 7 64 bit

I used the command line to turn activation only mode on and now when I use teh command to turn it off it will not change the iTunes setup. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. I tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling and it is stillin activation only mode.

Hi! Thx for your quick reply! I am still unsure what to do tho---see my questions below in bold:
Windows 7 comes with its own version of the standard PostScript driver. = Where is this driver? I have no idea how to find it, it doesn't show up in my Printer menu in FM?
Given that PostScript generated by a driver can be highly device-specific, you need to install the driver as modified by the PPD file for the device in question. Most printer manufacturers in fact provide a PostScript driver installer that associates their printer's PPD file with the standard Windows Printer driver and subsequently creates what is called a PostScript printer driver instance for the particular device on the I/O port you designate. = ??? I've only updated a PPD file for watermarks and have no idea what this means...is there a step-by-step instruction for this? I just need to download a PS driver to select that works & doesn't freeze up my FM when creating a .ps file.
The real question thus is exactly what are you trying to generate PostScript for? = I create a PS, & then use Distiller to create a PDF. This enables me to have a PDF that automatically has Bookmarks, the TOC/LOF/LOT & all corss-refs are hyperlinked, etc.
If you are trying to create PostScript for distillation into PDF, Acrobat installs a PostScript driver instance of its own, labelled Adobe PDF, that is associated with the Acrobat Distiller PPD. = I have tried the Adobe PDF selection from my Printer menu in FM, but it freezes up FM and I have to close the whole program & no PDF generates.
BTW, although you may be successful in installing and running FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7, in fact Adobe officially does not support FrameMaker 8 on Windows 7. = I don't know what to say---the upgrade is too expensive for some of us folks out here right now, so we all need to work with what we have for now!
I appreciate your help, thank you.

Check on the release notes for your platform
This is for x86-64 Linux.. read it all, then you'll find the "6 Documentation Corrections and Additions" section you'll find the RPMs that you need
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/relnotes.102/b15666/toc.htm
then go to the official doc installation of 10gR2 on x86-64 Linux
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15667/toc.htm
Yum is a package management tool. This is what you'll be using to install the RPMs. But first you'll have to setup the Yum repository, usually what I do is stage the DVD media on the server then make it as a repository. If ever there's a specific (higher) version that I need then I just pull it on the RedHat Network.
There are a lot of HOWTOs about Yum. You may read on this link http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/en/

Is it possible to configure NLB clustering in Active/Active mode.

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to know If I can manually configure my NLB cluster to work in ACTIVE/ACTIVE mode as we can do for Microsoft fail over clustering.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Amit Pal Singh,
I think you must some misunderstand about the failover and NLB, I assume you are trying to install the Failover cluster, you can refer the following article to install the
A-A failover cluster.

How to tell if Active/active or Active/Standby mode is configured?

Folks:
I am still learning the output of my running config, but how do I tell if my firewall is set to Actve/Active or Active/Standby mode?
In addition, how do I tell if it uses regular or stateful failover mode?
Thank you

I wanted to provide this as well, since I found it and it also helped me answering my question.
This output shows Active/Active failover output.

I can add single AIP-SSM on Cisco ASA in failover active / standby mode?

No, both units need the same hardware, that includes the installed modules.

To apply license in FWSM (Active-Active mode) and disable failover

Dear Team
I want to apply license to increase security context in FWSM which is running in Active-Active mode on VSS Core switches
As per below document, first we need to disable failover by entering 'no failover' command on active FWSM and then apply the license seperately on both FWSM.
I just want to know when i will disable the failover then standby move to pseudo-standby state.
Will there be any services impact which are running behind the FWSM when disbaling the failover and then re-enabling the failover.
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/fwsm/fwsm40/configuration/guide/fwsm_cfg/swcnfg_f.html#wp1073226
Appreciate your response.

Hi,
I think in your case as it is Active/Active , there is one extra step required.
You need to make all the contexts active on one unit and on the other one all should be standby.
Then disable the failover and update the license and re-enable the failover.
Thanks and Regards,

Stop/start in PGW active/standby mode

Hi all
My VOIP Network has 2 PGW in active/standby mode. But when we add more telco, the state of ss7path is OOS. i must stop/start the PGW and ss7path is IS status.
Now PGW is running services. it processing many call with other telco.
i have question need to support.
When we stop/start PGW,has PGW disconnected all call or not?
Thank for supporting
PhaiLQ

If you restart the service on active pgw, calls are disconnected. If you don't want out of services you must pass the control to the standby server first.
From mml console of active server use the command:
rtrv-ne    to check the status, the output is:
    MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller 2010-09-07 16:53:42.655 MEST
M RTRV
   "Type:MGC"
   "Hardware platform:sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240"
   "Vendor:"Cisco Systems, Inc.""
   "Location:MGC-01 - Media Gateway Controller"
   "Version:"9.6(1)""
   "Platform State:ACTIVE"
sw-over::confirm to swich control to standby server
now restart the service
/etc/init.d/CiscoMGC stop
/etc/init.d/CiscoMGC start
P.S. If I remember the right way, the OOS (out of service) state of new ss7 path can be set in IS (in service) via mml command line without service restart.
set- your ss7 path ::IS   use tab for help
Regards.

Calendar entries in Active Standby mode

A double question, but both are closely related.
In Active Standby mode it shows upcoming calendar entries for today and future ones.
Q1) Can someone clarfify does it only show 1 entry for future events, since I have placed 2 entries for tomorrow and 1 for the day after. But only 1 (the first) appears in Active Standby.
Q2) I THINK IS A BUG!! It does not show Anniversary as future events in Active Standby. It only appears when it is on the day (bit late if you need to buy a present!).

I think this is by design. Not quite sure what the basis is of what is included and what is not. Items from the current day seem to show up in greater numbers than in future days.
