Disruptive ISSU 6.1.4a- 6.2.8 on Nexus 7010 sup1 because of LACP timers.

Hi all.
The problem.
Today I updated my Nexus 7010 sup1 from 6.1.4a to 6.2.8.
I want did it in ISSU mode, but after impact check I got this:
Compatibility check is done:
Module  bootable          Impact  Install-type  Reason
     1       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     2       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     3       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     4       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     5       yes      disruptive         reset  Some LACP ports not in steady state or operating in 'rate fast' mode.
     6       yes      disruptive         reset  Some LACP ports not in steady state or operating in 'rate fast' mode.
     7       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     8       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
     9       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
    10       yes  non-disruptive       rolling  
Additional info for this installation:
Service "lacp" in vdc 1: LACP: Upgrade will be disruptive as 6 switch ports and 0 fex ports are not upgrade ready!!
      Issue the "show lacp issu-impact" cli for more details.
(modified the impact to <Hitful>  for module <6>)
Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)?  [n] y
I went on with yes and update script reboot both sups after updated all modules.
It was quite a surprise for me (yes I know I must see word "disruptive" opposite my sups 5 and 6). Because I already had done two ISSU updates on two nexuses (from 5.1.* ->5.2.7 and 5.2.7 -> 6.1.4a) and didn`t have any trouble with LACP timers. Is it a new feature of the 6.* train?
I have another Nexus that I want to update. And it also has same problem with LACP timers.
show install all impact give me the same disruptive result because of LACP.
Can I somehow suppress such ISSU behavior? In case of LACP. I don`t have vPC, just ordinal PC.
It is a way better if some LACP interfaces flap in process, than an almost 14 minutes of all 7010 chassis reboot that I had.
Although problem with LACP timers is that they must be the same on the switch side and on the other side. And in case of switches, linux boxes or HP VCs changing LACP timers isn`t a big problem. IT is a biggg problem in case of the Windows Server.
sh lacp interface ethernet 8/13
Interface Ethernet8/13 is up
  Channel group is 13 port channel is Po13
Local Port: Eth8/13   MAC Address= 40-55-39-23-1e-c1
  System Identifier=0x8000,  Port Identifier=0x8000,0x80d
  Operational key=12
  LACP_Activity=active
  LACP_Timeout=Long Timeout (30s)
Neighbor: 0x1
  MAC Address= ac-16-2d-a4-f2-54
  System Identifier=0xffff,  Port Identifier=0xff,0x1
  Operational key=17
  LACP_Activity=active
  LACP_Timeout=short Timeout (1s)
They must be the same and equal 30s for successful ISSU

You probably need to dig a little deeper to get a definitive answer (sup1 or 2, type of cards, etc..) but here is a diagram in the release notes for 6.1 found here:

  • Nexus 2k to HP Server LACP issue

    Hi,
    We are having problems connecting our Nexus 2k to HP server ports in LACP mode (channel-group mode active).
    The below is snippet from logs, before the port goes into suspended mode.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if you already found this, but the first error is documented, for the Nexus 5000 series at least in the System Messages and Recovery Procedures for the Cisco Nexus 5000 Family:
    Error Message: LACP-3-SYN_COLL_DIS_EN: [chars] : SYNC, COLLECT and DISTRIBUTE flags enabled too early by partner
    Explanation: Potential interop issue. Partner system seems to have enabled sync as well collecting or distributing flags too early even before actor has selected an aggregator
    Recommended Action: No action is required.
    I just love the Recommended Action
    The message is indicating that the LACPDU from the server has the Synchronise, Collecting and Distributing flags all set on the first LACPDU it receives. When the link is first established the LACPDU is only supposed to have the Synchronise flag set, with the Collecting and Distributing flags set once the switch and host are sync'd. There's a prety good diagram of this at Networking Bodges in the Bringing Links Up section.
    On the basis of this it would seem this is possibly a bug in the Broadcom driver. I see on the Broadcom website that version 15.6.0.10 of the driver is available. Are you able to try that driver on this server?

  • Issue with Prime Infra 2.1.1 and Nexus 7K

    We have recently migrated from our NCS to Prime Infra 2.1.1. Since doing this we have started to import or switching gear into PI in addition to our WLC and MSE appliances. Discovery and inventory of the 3750X and 4500-X switches has been without issue. When we point PI 2.1.1 to a Nexus 7K running a VDC, the switch discovers as a Nexus 9500 instead of a 7K. Anyone else seen this happen? Any work arounds or suggestion on what might be going on? My thought was its discovering a VDC on the 7K and its not the admin VDC. That said our Admin VDC is not configured for SNMP and  we wanted to discover the VDC's that we actually use for client traffic. I should note we have loaded the lastest available device pack to PI as well.
    Please advise - any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    We ran a  discovery of all our Nexus switching last night. Once we did that the patter was easy to see. Any 9 or 10 slot Nexus was fine, any 4-slot Nexus appears as a Nexus 9500 instead of a 7K. I checked the compatibility matrix (latest release through DP 6.0) and support for the 9/10/18 slot is listed. No mention of support for the 4 slot. I believe that is our issue.

  • Nexus 7010 Management interface (Mgmt 0) connectivity issue via OOB switch

    Hi Team,
    We have setup as follows:
       [Nexus1]-----[Nexus2]
             |               |
         [===SW-OOB===] --------------[5k] --[5k]
    (172.16.1.254 - IP address on OOB switch L3 VLAN)
    Nexus 1 has three VDC :
       1. Default VDC, 2. Network VDC, 3. Common Srvices VDC
    Similarly it is for Nexus 2 as well.
    While we create VDC, by default Mgmt0 interface get added along with the vrf management.
    in Default VDC and Network VDC, we have configured default gateway on VRF Management as 172.16.1.254 and ip address as 172.16.1.1 and 172.16.1.2 in each vdc on interface mgmt0. It is working fine.
    But when i configure in Common Services VDC 172.16.1.3 on mgmt0 and default gateway as 172.16.1.254, i am unable to reach to OOB switch.
    Is there any limitation on the nexus switch or some thing i am missing to configure. since there should not be a cable issue as these mgmt0 interface are logical in the VDC.
    The same issue i am facing on both the nexus.
    Also attached the show version of nexus for ref.
    Please help in this case and as i find this is the abnormal behaviour.
    I am facing issue only with these two nexus rest is working fine in accross campus.
    Regards

    Hi,
    where your gateway resides?
    can you try to connect with a PC on management VLAN and try to ping both WLC management and the gateway of the subnet?
    I am suspecting the traffic is blocked somewhere. We need to isolate.
    The WiSM look up and fine from the 6509 box. Service VLAN look find as well as the management.
    Have you made any troubleshooting since posting this discussion?

  • Blackberry Passport sim tray issue is prevalent and they will not fix it for you because it is your fault. Ridiculous.

     I bought my Blackberry passport on Feb 13rd. Right out of the box the sim tray didn't read the sim. I thought it is my sim's problem, so I waited for another sim. New sim came in, still didn't read. After a long call with customer support and BB virtual support, I had my device sent in around mid March. They checked it and said I damaged the sim tray and I need to pay 268$ to have it fixed. I though it is ridiculous since I haven't done anything to the phone. So I argued with them and eventually they agreed to have my fixed without cost.
     However when they sent me back the device, I poped in the sim and it only works for 1 day, on and off the second day and then not reading the sim at all after that. I think the sim tray's problem with the passport is prevalent and the pin can be broken by the simple act of poping in the sim card. My ATT sim is working perfectly fine on the 5s and my brother's iphone 6.
     After 2 days of receiving the "repaired" device, I call them again and this time they said it is certainly my fault and if I send it in again, I will have to pay 268$ to have it fixed.
     So I thought for people out ther if you have a passport, don't pop in and out the sim card. It can really easily be broken.
      For me, I think now I just gonna use my "broken sim tray new passport" as a reading device. After 10 years, I will officially switch to other brand. Still love the keyboard though, but anyway.

    Check that your sim card does not have a burr or edge on it before you insert it, as that may be what's damaging the SIM pins.
    Site anly allow linlks to web images, so here's what the tray is supposed to look like - with the SIM cover on.
    FWIW - a T3 torx driver is required to remove the screws around the SIM  and TF card tray cover. That would allow you to look at the underlying pins - and possibly - with a bit of luck, fix them on your own.

  • Animated GIF Export issues

    I have a simple Flash animation which I'd like to be made
    into a transparent GIF.
    When I do the GIF export, only the first frame of my
    movieclips (which are placed in the main timeline) get rendered. It
    seems like Flash only records the main timeline preview output into
    the GIF file, and does not play movieclip objects. You would expect
    the GIF recording to be of the same preview as when you hit
    ctrl+enter (essentially final playback).
    Because of this, the GIF export is pointless. The only way to
    use it is to have all your animations occur in the main timeline,
    and not within movieclips. It doesn't work for me (and for most
    people?), because I need to easily scale my animations, which is
    doable by just resizing a movieclip.
    Is there a way around this in Flash? Am I missing something?
    I've had to use a 3rd-party tool (Magic SWF2GIF) to do the
    GIF recording.
    My other issue is Flash cannot export transparent GIF's it
    seems. Because of this, I have to rely on more 3rd-party GIF tools,
    most of which are rubbish.
    In the end, I've had to take snap shots of every individual
    frame and edit each frame as individual files in Photoshop to do
    all the cropping and transparency just right. Real pain when you
    are talking 50 frames, and having to do multiple animations.
    Is there a way to export transparent GIF's in Flash?
    Seems kind of dumb that I have all this high-end software and
    loads of tools... and I still have to edit things frame by
    frame.

    Thank you for your reply!
    I check exported GIFs in various browsers and XnView viewer.
    It's definitely not a preview  issue - i have 32Gb of RAM and Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU on my system.
    I believe the issue is with transparency, because i'm able to export GIFs with solid background just fine
    GIF export dialogue window has 'Transparency' checkbox, so it looks like it should be possible to export an animated GIF with transparent background, but for some reason i'm getting all frames at the same time
    thank you

  • What are the commonly encountered issue in Go-Live for GATP implementation?

    Dear All,
    I am currently involved in a GATP implementation project.
    I would like know that -
    1. What are commonly encountered GATP related problems during Go-Live?
        [I have already prepared a list for the same. Some of the root causes are like -
        1. Incorrect strategy group maintained in the material master.
        2. During CIF model creation 'Availability Check' check box not activated.
        3. Availability check and allocation should be activated for the schedule line.
        4. Incorrect rule maintenace for RBA. (RBA04)
        5. Incorrect rule assignment for RBA. (AO11)
        6. Incorrect Check instruction.
        7. Incorrect Check control
        and so on.....]
    2. Is there any check list available in the forum for the same?
    Thanks & Regards
    Piyush Ranpura

    Hi Piyush,
    1) You definitely need to ensure that your OVZJ settings are as expected in the production system after go-live as it can lead to zero confirmations or incorrect confirmations if is is missed.
    2) Coming to Product allocation, hope you know that system cannot read "0" allocation figure and to counter the same, perhaps you may need to build a solution to make it as "-1" so that system understands it better
    3) In the area of ODLs, you will face issues with incorrect data being available in ODLs, this is caused because of some inconsistencies ( I am sure ODLs as a concept is not fully fool proof ). You need to schedule the program /SAPAPO/ODLR in the production system weekly or if the data is less schedule it daily
    4) It may also happen that the logistics team had introduced some new calendars and APO team is unaware of it and you may encounter issues in Scheduling. Try to make sure that the time streams are created correctly and at the same all the relevant route scheduling condition records are correctly maintained w.r.t the data in the source system.
    5) Do a test run on Availability check immediately after system goes-live. this will tell you if there is any problem with the RFC connection, Live cache errors etc.,
    There could be many more apart from this.
    Hope this helps

  • [SOLVED] high CPU and freezing issues

    Greetings,
    While I don't claim to be an expert at these things, I'm no newbie either... at least as far as computers go. I admit there are still many things I need to learn about linux, but that's all part of the fun. Anyways on to the point of this topic.
    After the power supply on my main pc died and shorted out the mother board with it, I have been forced to use an older computer. It is a computer that I know works as it was used by my wife as a desktop when she didn't feel like using her laptop. Odd.. I know, but hey, whatever she wants she gets .
    It is an older pc, a compaq presario 5423. It is running an intel p4 1.6 gz processor and has an nvidia geforce 2 mx agp video card. Ever since the last xorg update that refuses to work with nvidia-96xx, I've been using the nv driver. I have tried briefly the other one (nouvelo or however it's spelled) and while it worked it seemed to slow my computer down and produce some odd effects like screen freezes and whatnot. It was running two 256 MB ram sticks, I replaced them with the two 512's from my main (dead) pc. I have the two hd's from my main pc on it, properly set up (I basically resinstalled arch so that I was sure it was done right, and just because I love the arch linux installation process, it is awesome IMO). I've been running this PC since.. October I believe... whenever it was that I submitted that e17 screenshot... I think that was October.
    Here is the issue I am having. The CPU loves to max out.. ie.. reach 100% almost instantly. Open up a browser *poof* 100%, making me wait a moment before I can do anything else. Open up a few tabs.. *poof* 100%... and frequent freezes.  It doesn't seem to matter what I am running, doing, using... it always happens. This happens in pekwm, fluxbox, openbox, e17, wmaker, firebox, twindy, fvwm, even the almighty awesome. Yes, those are all wm's I've tried. Forget trying to run KDE (I did, it loads... but that's about it. I had to hard restart because of total freeze-up). I've tried all kinds of browsers, firefox, chrome, iron, midori, auroa, konq... Midori hates me, the others are too heavy... only Chrome and Iron (both basically the same) work, but still experience the freezes and the like. Uzbl laughed at me as even trying to start it caused a massive CPU spike. I know, hard to believe.. which leaves me thinking there is a serious problem.
    MPD spikes the CPU by 20% easily each song change. Googles even more so. Forget the heavyweights like amarok and exile. Pidgin spikes it when loading initially but evens out. Terminal spikes it only when compiling, updating, or building from AUR... or installing a package with pacman.
    Here's the thing, when my wife used it before, using LXDE with Open Box and only a total of 512 MB she never experienced this. This box came with Windows XP which ran fine.. somewhat slow but fine. So this all leaves me thinking, something is just wrong.  I am wondering if maybe bad RAM? Maybe the thing is just trying to give up the ghost? Before going and pulling out RAM though I want to see what you guys think.
    Here's what HTOP has to say...
    CPU(while writing this post): 36.8% (in pekwm!)
    Mem: 187/1009 MB (all bars are lite up...)
    Swp: 1/2863MB (already tapping into swap?)
    Tasks: 128 total, 1 running
    Load average: 0.26 0.08 0.06
    So yeah, I researched online.. this processor is supposed to be able to even run KDE fine. So something has to be off. Any ideas?

    Well right before I changed drivers back to nvidia-96xx, I did a pacman -Syu check.. there was a new xorg update waiting for me. So I updated and switched back to nvidia-96xx driver.
    Still having the fun CPU issues so this must not be an nv driver thing itself.
    free -m provides the following...
    total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:          1009        606        403          0         60        387
    -/+ buffers/cache:        158        851
    Swap:         2863          0       2863
    Therefore it would seem that memory issue is not the problem.
    Watching the cpu spike just because I type is very unnerving. Heck just running htop did a spike. Poor old computer... Just for S&G I tried once again to load kde. Neopunk killed it with it's massive cpu usage + x trying to match it. What can I say.. X was jealousy, there was no way X was going to let neopunk use more CPU than it.
    Ah.. so nerve racking. I've been working on this for almost two months now. I'll look and she what distros I got lieing around.. been awhile since I burned one and not really wanting too.. had no desire since arch is what I want. But I suppose I do need to compare to see if it is something else like X causing this.
    I'll do that in a bit.. I'll wait a moment incase anyone else has another suggestion. Give me time to get off my butt and do some honey-do's for my wife.

  • Display issues, system failures, lock ups- oh my!

    Hi all,
    For the last few months I've begun to experience significant issues with my Macbook Pro. I got it back in early 2006, so I believe it's one of the original models. Specs below:
    Model Name: MacBook Pro 15"
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro1,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core Duo
    Processor Speed: 1.83 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1

    Memory: 2 GB
    Bus Speed: 667 MHz

    Type: Display
    Bus: PCIe
    PCIe Lane Width: x16

    Vendor: ATI (0x1002)
    Device ID: 0x71c5
    Revision ID: 0x0000
    EFI Driver Version: 01.00.068
    Displays:
    BenQ E2200HD:
    Resolution: 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz

    System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.7 (9J61)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 9.7.0
    Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
    Boot Mode: Normal
    So, to explain my issues... I have experienced the following:
    *Temporary lockups involving a "beach ball of death" spinning for maybe 5-10 seconds, then going back to normal.
    *Much longer lockups with the spinny ball that can only be solved by the computer's lid being shut, waiting for sleep, and then re-opening it.
    *Lockups you simply don't recover from- the screen getting "messy" with artefacts and scrambled images, bits of random colours, and no movement at all. These I have to restart the laptop physically to recover from.
    As time has gone on in the past few months, these are getting worse and worse. I thought it was overheating, but the temperatures seem okay and I have a laptop cooling pad for it. Then there's the completely random screen tearing and artefacts that seem to be happening; Safari, iTunes, Football Manager 2008, Firefox, Seashore... all these apps that I use on a consistent basis appear to discolour, tear, introduce horizontal lines across the screen, and just generally completely @#$% up the look of the desktop. What's going on there? :S It almost seems like it could be a graphics card issue, but that's why I'm asking here I suppose.
    The issues are getting more frequent, and it's a bit disappointing because, while I imagined that I would get a new laptop one day, I was under the impression macs had a good staying power and I could at least keep it working as a backup at home or give it to my brother. Now it appears that this one might have a terminal problem, be out of warranty, and thus most expensive to fix. Or is it?
    Anyone have an idea what I might be experiencing here?

    A failing hard drive can cause all sorts of problems by operating erratically. Your first priority should be to be sure you have a good backup of your data on an external drive, just in case the drive fails completely. Otherwise data recovery could be very expensive.
    You might try booting from your install disc to the Apple Hardware test. This will take the hard drive out of the equation, and you can see if the video problems persist, even when booted from a disc. Run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test and see if you get any error codes. If so, post back with them.
    While booted from the install disc, you can also navigate to Disk Utility from the menu bar, select your drive, and see if you can repair it. Since it is failing physically, repairing the software part will not actually fix it, but it might make it work better temporarily.
    Replacing your hard drive is worth doing if there are no other serious problems with your Mac. You can upgrade to a faster and bigger drive--up to 500 GB's if you like. However, you do want to be sure that you don't have any logic board problems first.
    One thing you could consider doing is getting an external drive, preferably FireWire, and installing the OS on it with your installation discs. Then you could boot from the external and see how the display behaves when booted from a new drive. That would give you a good idea of how your Mac would run if you replaced the drive.
    Normally I would suggest making a bootable clone of your internal drive using a cloning utility like Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner:
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
    Either one can be downloaded and run for free. If you want to free up the more useful features of Super Duper, you can register a copy for about US $28. CCC is donation ware.
    You could still use one of these to make a clone of your internal drive as a back up, but keep in mind there may be some corruption from the failing hard drive which would just get cloned. But these utilities are great for backing up a good drive.
    Good luck!

  • Iphone 5 issues that hopefully have an easy solution. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    I got the iphone 5 about 6 months ago and have had wifi reception problems the entire time. I spend most of my time in my entertainment room (studio) which is on the opposite end of the house from the router. I have an imac, an apple tv2, an ipad, and (2) iphone 4 all using the same wifi and housed in this same room. They all have no problem picking up the signal and staying connected. My wife and her son both have iphone 4S and never lose connection when they are in my room. It's very frustrating because I was so excited about being able to mirror my phone through the apple tv and hd tv. I own an AT&T iphone 4 and a Verizon iphone 4 that aren't capable of mirroring. I have the original ipad which isn't capable of mirroring. My wife's 4S and her son's 4S are both capable and do it with ease but it's their phones, not mine. So I stayed patient knowing I would get the next upgrade and it was just a matter of time. Wrong. Between 5 phones, a desktop, a tablet, apple tv, PS3......My iphone 5 was the only one that won't connect. I am not talking about it loses the signal or cuts in and out, I am saying you have to walk halfway down the hall to even get it to detect the signal in the first place. Not a chance in **** of it actually staying connected to it.  I talked to Apple Support about the problem and asked if the iphone 5 had a weaker antenna or if there was a setting that needed to be adjusted. They were polite to me but in so many words let me know that my assessment was ridiculous and news to them. Well okay, no big deal, I just chalked it up as that maybe I got a dud this time as far as the antenna goes. Then, about a week ago, I dropped the phone and shattered the front glass and lcd. Luckily I had insurance and was able to get a brand new replacement. The problem is the antenna reception is exactly the same. So this was not an isolated incident and I wasn't crazy for asking about it. I don't see how they haven't received tons of complaints about this issue. I love Apple products and probably just expect perfection because I have never had any major problems with any of my Apple devices. But it is an unpleasant surprise that the newer model takes several steps back on such an important feature. Sorry for the rant and I remain positive that this issue can be addressed, if it hasn't already.
    P.S.....The iphone 5 that I got two days ago has an awesome new feature. If you are using the phone for an actual phone call, the person you are talking to can't be heard whatsoever. If you can get them to talk really loudly and repeat themselves at least three times, you will have a greater chance of comprehending the purpose of the call.

    Hey braswell4AU: I have a similar issue. I purchased 2 iPhone 5's the first day they came out. Black 64gb for myself and white 32gb for my wife. She is having somewhat the same issues as you have. Wifi is weak and keeps dropping the signal, and also her phone almost never has LTE. And we are in a very strong Verizon LTE area in north Los Angeles county. My phone has never had any signal issues, wifi or LTE. I have been researching the issue to no avail. I though maybe the white with the brushed alluminum may cause signal issues, but haven't found anything on that and posts about the black one haven't problems blew that theory up.
        I have also changed the SIM card and the phone itself and still the same problem. I saw a post about someone getting their phone swapped out and the apple rep told him not to restore the phone, but to just set it up as new. I have yet to try it, gonna try this weekend.. But it makes sense! I, like you have 6 apple devices (2 iPhone 5's, 2 iPhone 4's apple tv3, and the ipad3) and have no issues running all my devices via router.
         So I am thinking about the history of the restores and backups and my wife is the only one that went from the 4 to the 5.. Every other device was setup as new. So my theory is that he iphone 5 has issues when you restore from previous backups.. Maybe something a little different from the backups of the previous models create issues in the iPhone 5's?
         Like I said, I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and see what happens. If you get a chance to try this before, please let me know if it works and if I try before you I will update you.
        Good luck and hopefully we can get these wonderful phones working like they should!

  • Compilation of Lenovo X120e issues and solutions

    Just thought a compilation of issues may be beneficial for folks who own an X120e.
    Screen adjusts brightness automatically without user input depending on content on screen:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X100e-screen-brightness-increasing-by-itself/td...
    This is caused by Vari-Bright being enabled in the Catalyst Control Center.  With this option enabled, the screen will automatically adjust its brightness depending on what is shown on the screen.  The display brightness is increased when the screen is predominantly white while the display brightness is decreased when the screen is predominantly dark.  An easiest way to see this effect happening is to have two tabs opened in a web browser window.  Set one tab to display a website that is mainly filled with white pixels (such as this Lenovo Forum) and another tab to display a website that is mainly filled with dark pixels (such as http://www.krijtenberg.nl/ ).  Switch between the two, pausing a few seconds in each tab.
    Solution:
    Open the Catalyst Control Center and select the PowerPlay option in the Power section.  Uncheck the Vari-Bright option (or adjust the slider) and click Apply.  Verify that the automatic adjustment is no longer occuring by doing the two tab experiment described above.
    Function keys for brightness control not working after waking from sleep / hibernation in some instances:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Funtion-keys-for-brightness-not-working/t...
    For my X120e, whenever I have it sleeping or hibernating and change the power source (such as initiating sleep when on power and then waking it up while on battery, or vice versa), the function keys for brightness controls do not work.
    Solution:
    Restarting the machine will bring back functionality of the brightness control keys...
    A way to prevent this from happening in the first place is to wake the X120e in the same power state that the X120e was put to sleep in (wake up from power adapter if slept while connected to power adapter, or wake up from battery if slept while on battery).   
    All we can do now is wait for Lenovo to come up with a fix on their side of things.
    AMD SATA Controller and TRIM for SSD:
    The AMD SATA Controller provided by Lenovo does not support passing of TRIM command according to http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/450343-post35.html for SSDs.  The Lenovo provided AMD SATA Controller is 1.2.1.197, before the official TRIM support in 1.2.1.263.  If you're using a HDD, this is of no concern.
    Solution:
    In order to have support for passing of TRIM command, one has to update the AMD SATA Controller to any version above 1.2.1.263 ( http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloads/Pages/integrated_win7-64.aspx#3 for Windows 7 64-bit, for example) or uninstall the AMD SATA Controller to revert back to Microsoft's Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA Controller. 
    Disclaimer:  Since the AMD SATA Controller driver linked is not from Lenovo themselves, I'm sure they won't provide any support if something is to occur so try at your own risk.
    As HP79 mentions below, at least according to the update notes, TRIM implementation is implemented for Hudson chipsets as of 1.2.001.263.
    Audio Stutter / Slurring occuring during playback of video/audio:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Stuttering-Audio/td-p/389023
    This issue can be reproduced (at least on my X120e) by waking the X120e after putting it to sleep.  The symptom is the audio repeating a sound over a span of a second or two during playback and is quite noticable. 
    Solution:
    uEFI Bios version 1.11 seems to deal with the audio stuttering issue.  So far, results lead to positive outcomes.
    Old Solution:
    PWMTR64V.DLL that is loaded at Startup seems to be causing this issue.  Disabling it from launching when starting up seems to cure the Audio Stutter (even after waking up from sleep which was seen to be a pretty reliable way to get the issue to repro).  Start Menu > Launch MSCONFIG from the Search Bar > Select Startup Tab from the System Configuration window > Uncheck Thinkpad Power Manager > Restart. 
    This does not seem to turn off the power manager application itself so settings in Power Manager can be saved and it seems to still be in effect.  However, opening up Power Manager from the notification / taskbar can cause audio stuttering and mouse movement slowdown while it is launching and/or when applying settings.  This is only temporary and is gone when Power Manager is closed. (Thanks kns7977 for the find)
    Pending to see if those who uninstalled Power Manager are able to turn off the offending startup .dll.
    Mouse seems to stutter or stay in place for a moment when moving:
    This seems to be caused by the same issue causing the Audio Stutter / Slurring.  At least at this time, the cause of the issue and solution seems to be the same.
    Emulating Middle Mouse Button with Trackpoint:
    One can set up the middle button between the left and right click button for the TrackPoint to act like pressing a middle mouse button on a standard mouse by changing the scrolling type to Smooth instead of the default Standard. 
    Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Mouse > UltraNav Tab > Setting for TrackPoint > Setting for Choose Scrolling or Magnifying Glass Function > Smooth.
    Trackpad's two finger gesture being hit or miss:
    The trackpad's two finger scrolling is very hit and miss.
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-Touchpad-issues/td-p/393751
    Solution: Turning off Gesture Filtering may alleviate the problem.  As mentioned in http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/561751-x120e-owners-thread-24.html#post7323293, it seems that the Gesture Filtering is counteracting any sort of two finger input.
    Get to Mouse Properties by Fn + F8, select Manage Settings.  At Mouse Properties, select the UltraNav tab > Settings for TouchPad.  Expand the Smart Check Settings, highlight Gesture Filtering, and uncheck the Enable Gesture Filtering box and Apply. 
    Screen flickers lines:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Flickering/td-p/389523
    Had this issue occur on me once, but never seen it happen again.  Unsure what caused or cured it.
    Solution:
    If the flickering is occuring, a restart is all that is needed to alleviate the problem.  Haven't tested if hibernation fixes it, but neither sleep nor turning off the screen with the Power Manager dealt with the flickering.
    3-Cell Battery mentioned as a 40Wh in the Order Page of Lenovo X120e when it is actually rated as 32Wh according to Power Manager:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-3-cell-40Wh-battery-reported-as-32Wh-by-P...
    Yeah...
    Solution:
    Accept that it's a 32Wh you will get when selecting 3-Cell or go for the 6-Cell if you want more than 32Wh.
    2x2 ABGN Driver from Lenovo triggering Error Code 10:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/X120e-ABGN-Driver-issue-in-Windows-7-Pro-x64/td...
    The Wireless driver from Lenovo's site seems to not work with the 2x2 ABGN wireless when installed on a fresh copy of Windows 7 x64.
    Solution: 
    Not really quite a solution, but one can bypass this by either installing the 32-bit Windows 7 and installing the 32-bit driver, or using the factory recovery disc to install 64 bit windows 7 to have it install drivers that work for x64 windows 7.
     X120e bluescreens after installing LAN Realtek 7.26.902.2010 drivers from Lenovo's Driver download site.
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-bluescreen-when-installing-lan-drivers/td...
    The drivers doesn't seem to work and it causes a bluescreen on fresh installed Windows 7 x64.
    Solution:
    As Clicq suggests, Realtek's own drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTy... seems to deal with the issue. 
    Screen quality on the X120e:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-poor-LCD-quality-viewing-angles/td-p/3945...
    The quality of the screen on an X120e is below expectations.
    This is common with low-quality TN panels not helped by glossy displays.  My personal X120e screen likes to bleed certain colors of red.
    Solution (not really): 
    One can use the Windows 7 built-in color calibration tool to adjust the colors to make it more tolerable.  Adjusting your own viewing angle in relation to the screen might deal with some color issues (hard to figure out what's the correct viewing angle because of TN panel's small range of optimal viewing angles).  Also, changing the refresh rate to 60Hz may deal with some headaches due to the screen (as it did for me).
    HDMI Overscan to HDTV issue:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/HDMI-overscan-to-HDTV-issue-on-x120e/m-p/395335
    There is a black border when outputting to HDTV through HDMI.
    Solution:
    AMD's CCC by default sets a specific value for overscan / underscan.  One can http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Output-to-TV-via-HDMI-port-black-border-on-the-... while the device is connected via HDMI (the option is hidden if the HDMI port is not used) and adjust the slider to an acceptable value.
    Skype asserts after 10-20 seconds of video chat:
    http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x120e-Skype-quits-after-10-20-seconds-of-video/...
    When doing a video chat, the video feed will freeze and then skype will crash to desktop.
    Solution:
    Version 5.3 of Skype seems to be the culprit.  Until Skype itself is fixed, one can use Skype 5.2.60.113 from http://www.filehippo.com/download_skype/changelog/9465/ to bypass this issue.  Just reject any offer to update to 5.3 after installing 5.2, for now.
    If there is anything I missed, please respond and I'll update this post with new information.  These are the ones that I have encountered so far with my Lenovo X120e.  Don't get me wrong, I like my X120e... it's just been a "learning" experience lol

  • I am so dissappointed with the Home Fusion. Does anyone have an email address where I can send a letter to customer service about my issue?

    Sales rep in store pulled up the map and told me "Yes you are totally in a 4G service area."  I knew I already had great connectivity thru my Jetpack but wanted the Home Fusion for at home. Installation was quick and easy, the installer was polite and courteous but did not tell me I had to purchase the insurance on the device less be responsible for any charges that occur if a tech has to come out and service it. Well, it worked for about 2 weeks and we had some storms roll thru our area and that was the end of my internet.  After two painful calls to technical support and 2 trouble tickets submitted with no results I was very frustrated and upset. I felt that I had no other option but to have the tech come out and "fix" or "swap out" the antenna. Now keep in mind that there was no physical damage to the Home Fusion Antenna or Router, so I couldn't understand why the Home Fusion wouldn't work. Turns out the tech that came out to my house told me flat out that it shouldn't have ever been installed. The original tech I recall his name being Eddie, should have told me that the signal for the 4G Home Fusion was very weak and that the area that I am in is not quite a 4G Home Fusion area, it's on the brink and probably will be soon but for now it's shotty at best. However, I had to hear this from the tech that came out to replace the antenna, the antenna that there was nothing wrong with(per Levi). If the original tech Eddie would have leveled with me I would have opted to add the service later when we were completely in the coverage area. I still would have ordered the service, I would have continued to be a happy customer. Levi Bishop is the name of the second tech that came out to the house. He was very honest with me that Verizon was having a lot of issues with techs installing the equipment when they really shouldn't  because of this issue, that Eddie is no longer with Verizon because of this.
    I am at a loss because I do not feel that I should have been billed for a tech to come out to tell me the 4G isn't up and running quite yet for my area. I feel like I was taken advantage since your technicians are the ones who have this information at the time of install yet they don't share this very important piece of information with us and just do the install because that's what they are paid to do.

    Jloe,
    As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen.  We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
    Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
    Sorry for your problems.  GC

  • Where Is the Airplay Icon (for audio) on my iPhone 4?  - And Other Issues

    For the most part I'm pretty pleased with iOSv4.2 for both my iPads and iPhones. Folders, multitasking, all great improvements. But perhaps the most exciting new feature is "Airplay" from my iPad and, I wish, from my iPhone as well. To bad it's gimpy...
    Never mind the fact that Airplay doesn't work with my original AppleTV - I think that's a raw deal, but hey, that's the way Apple rolls us into its version of the future. So ATV2 is already ordered and en-route.
    I'll get to video and photos eventually, but for now I'm mostly concerned about sending music wirelessly from my iGizmos to speaker systems around the house. I have two Airport Express units, and those show up in Airplay on my iPad, so I know the system is working.
    So here are the issues I'm having with Airplay:
    1) I'm posting here because my biggest issue is that I do not see Airplay on my iPhone 4 updated to iOSv4.2. Even when using the iPod app on the iPhone, when I swipe to the controls in multitasking mode, there is no Airplay icon. It seems to me I should be able to send audio - either stored or streaming - from my iPhone to my Airports (as I can with my iPad), but I cannot. BTW, I DID see the Airplay icon briefly yesterday - when I had a bluetooth stereo headset activated, the Airplay icon appeared and gave me the choice of the headset or the iPhone. But I never did see an option to connect with my Airports.
    2) When using Airplay from the iPad, I was only permitted to select ONE Airport device at a time. Huh? With Airplay in iTunes on my desktop, I have the option of sending the signal to as many devices as I want at one time. Is there some reason I cannot do that with my iOSv4.2? Seems to me they should operate in the same manner, why the oversight? Eventually I will need to connect multiple sound systems to one source.
    3) As others have reported in this space, I am experiencing intermittent signal when listening to audio from my v4.2 enable iPad. It gets pretty annoying. I will continue to monitor these threads and see if I can get to the crux of the issue.
    I recall reading that the release v4.2 was delayed somewhat in part because of "WiFi issues," and it would appear to me that those issues were not entirely resolved prior to the actual release. I'm glad they went ahead and released it, because the other features I've alluded to are a big improvement, but now that they've tempted me with these new possibilities, I expect it all to work well.
    Are we taking bets on the release of iOSv4.2.2 ?
    Thanks,
    --PS

    Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
    For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
    But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
    And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
    I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...

  • Report Designer Locking issue

    Hi,
       We have found locking issue while accessing same report(Created in Report Designer) by multi users at a time .
       Has anyone face this issue and How to fix it. It's major concern because same report can be accessed by multiusers at  same time
    Thanks
    Siva

    Siva,
    only one person at a time has permission to open the report in the Report designer - just like with Queries in the query designer.  This should not have any effect on you actually executing the report in the portal - multiple people can do it then.
    this is a security issue that other software vendors use as well - just like you cannot open any MS Office files on the network for editing that someone has opened already.
    Thanks

  • Macbook Air wifi issue

    I have a problem with my macbook air. I can find easily my home network, and it usually works ok at the begining, but after some time, 5-10 minutes, it started to works very slow, or just stop responding at all. Than I cant open any page, cant download mail, or anything. Sometime if I move my macbook air to another location it starts to work again for some time, but sometimes that doesn't help either. Sometime it helps to turn wifi off, than on again, but that also works for some time, and than again it blocks. I had mac os x lion, and now I have mountain lion, and same problem occurs. I even reinstall mountain lion, because I thought maybe it's the software issue, but it happening again. Today I changed my router, because before I had one with only B\G, and now I took one with N standard, because I thought this happening because of old router, but it happened today again.
    Could this be a hardware issue? Should I bring it to apple store, and what can I expect? Would they give me another one if this is hardware issue, or I would get refurbished one, or they will try to repair this one? I don't know what to do.

    With the help of Apple Support this problem seems to be cured.
    Here is a summary of the steps that they took me through:-
    In Settings>Network>
    Click on Gear Wheel beside +- at bottom of list of network services, select "Set Service Order" and check that WiFi is at the top of the list.
    Click on Advanced and select DNS tab. Click on + at bottom of DNS Servers List and enter 8.8.8.8
    In WiFi tab check that your preferred network is at the top of the list.
    Apply any changes that have been made and switch off.
    Reset SMC and NVRAM/PRAM
    Check that there are no channel conflicts with other wifi networks.
