Dual uplinks with single 5400 and single 6509 (with multiple interface cards)

I have a single 5400 with two gige ports and a single 6509 with dual gige line cards.
What would be the best method for running them with dual connections in case an interface or line card goes bad?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply Joseph. I swear I've ran SLA on 6500's before. This box is running IOS 12.2 so maybe that's the culprit.
I found a simple way to configure both devices redundantly using administrative distanced routes pointing through a specified interface. On the 6509, the routes point to a loopback address on the 5400, on the 5400 it's configured as default routes. Like this document explains:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-protocol-bgp/27082-ip-static-routes.html
Seems to work like a champ.

Dual Screen with multiple graphics cards?

Hi,
I have tried to utilise two screens, both to a seperate grahpics card but it does not seem to be working! Setting them as two different devices with BUS id's does not work and xrandr does not seem to be working either - it comes up that one of the screens is disconnected.
Here is my 60-radeon.conf:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS780L [Radeon 3000]"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:1:05:0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 6770]"
Driver "radeon"
BusID "PCI:2:00:0"
EndSection
And here is my xrandr command:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --output DVI-0 --auto --right-of VGA-0
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's my understanding that this should never happen, and always deserves a bug report upstream at xf86-video-ati or the X.org server.
What you can first try is installing xf86-video-ati-git from AUR to see whether it's already fixed and just not in a stable release yet.
The next step would just be collecting a stack trace and posting it on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg in Driver/Radeon or so (only after looking whether ther is already a similar bug of course) depending on how the stacktrace looks.
You really want a second computer and do this with ssh because a paused X server that controls the keyboard/mouse and the tty is not something you want to deal with...
So you have an ssh server running and start X normally on your computer, then at the second computer you connect with ssh and attach gdb to the xserver with "sudo gdb /usr/bin/X $(pgrep -f /usr/bin/X)" or so. That will first pause the X Server and you have to "continue" with writing "c[enter]" or so. Then you do whatever you do to make it crash and when it is crashing, gdb will pause it again. Then you can get a backtrace with "bt[enter]". That will give you a list of function calls from which libraries lead up to the crash and possibly some extra information about parameters or so. Then quit with ctrl+d or "quit" or so.
If you get stuck on a black screen on the PC with the crashing X server, try "startx" over ssh and then killing it with ctrl+c again. Starting and killing X "properly" helped at least for me when that happened.
You can get a lot more information when you recompile some thing with debug symbols. For example if you have yaourt you can use yaourt -G xf86-video-ati-git to create a directory xf86-video-ati-git and download the PKGBUILD into it.
In the PKGBUILD you can add !strip to options so it looks like "options=('!libtool' '!strip')" and in the build() function anywhere before autoreconf/make add export CFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb" (and if there is c++ code, export CXXFLAGS="-O0 -ggdb", but for xf86-video-ati and the x server there isn't I think) and then simply reinstall with "makepkg -fi"
Now if you replicate the crash with packages with such debug information you can do "bt full" in gdb. Without these debug information you will just get a lot of "No symbol table info available." but with it you can get many variable values and function parameters that can help the developers greatly (possibly).

Single IDOC to Multiple Interface Mapping

We have a requirement in our project where one masterdata IDOC will be sent from a SAP MDM box and will be transformed to a target IDOC and be sent to an SAP SNC box. However, the scenario is that depending on the contents of the IDOC, there can be multiple IDOCs that need to be created. For example, the single MDM IDOC has V1, V2 and V3 values then the IDOCS that should be sent to the SAP SNC box should be three.
The IT head of the customer decided against using Enhanced Interface Determination (since the problem can be easily solved using a 1:n mapping) due to the complexity especially when the solution is rolled out to other regions as each region has it's own logic (currently, the other implementation has only 1:1 mapping so there is no problem). I had developed a 1:n mapping but the resulting map is too big and very complex.
What I tried to do is to create separate mappings for each scenario that an IDOC needs to be generated out of the values from the received IDOC in XI and then define rules in the Interface Determination. Problem is that XI throws an error stating that multiple interfaces are found. So I cannot use Interface Determination to trigger creation of multiple IDOCS of the same type with different values from a single IDOC sent by the same SAP box.
Question is, is there any way to solve this requirement without using Enhanced Receiver Determination. I was thinking of BPM but not really sure how to do it.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for that.
For example, We have this input Message:
<ZMATMA>
<IDOC>
    <E1MARAM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>IT</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>CS</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
       <E1MARMM>
           <MEINH>SW</MEINH>
       </E1MARMM>
    </E1MARAM>
</IDOC>
</ZMATMA>
then there should be an output of:
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<IDOC>
    <BUOM>IT</BUOM>
</IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<IDOC>
    <BUOM>CS</BUOM>
</IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<SAVEMULTIPLE204>
<IDOC>
    <BUOM>SW</BUOM>
</IDOC>
</SAVEMULTIPLE204>
The logic is when the MEINH field of the ZMATMA02 IDOC has the values: IT, CS and SW, create one IDOC for each.
Thanks in advance!

Timesten replication with multiple interfaces sharing the same hostname

Hi,
we have in our environment two Sun T2000 nodes, running SunOS 5.10 and hosting a TT server currently in Release 7.0.5.9.0, replicated between each other.
I would like to have some more information on the behavior of the replication w.r.t. network reliability when using two interfaces associated to the same hostname, the one used to define the replication element.
To make an example we have our nodes sharing this common /etc/hosts elements:
151.98.227.5 TBMAS10df2 TBMAS10df2-10 TBMAS10df2-ttrep
151.98.226.5 TBMAS10df2 TBMAS10df2-01 TBMAS10df2-ttrep
151.98.227.4 TBMAS9df1 TBMAS9df1-10 TBMAS9df1-ttrep
151.98.226.4 TBMAS9df1 TBMAS9df1-01 TBMAS9df1-ttrep
with the following element defined for replication:
ALTER REPLICATION REPLSCHEME
ADD ELEMENT HDF_GNP_CDPN_1 TABLE HDF_GNP_CDPN
CHECK CONFLICTS BY ROW TIMESTAMP
COLUMN ConflictResTimeStamp
REPORT TO '/sn/sps/HDF620/datamodel/tt41dataConflict.rpt'
MASTER tt41data ON "TBMAS9df1-ttrep"
SUBSCRIBER tt41data ON "TBMAS10df2-ttrep"
RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST
ADD ELEMENT HDF_GNP_CDPN_2 TABLE HDF_GNP_CDPN
CHECK CONFLICTS BY ROW TIMESTAMP
COLUMN ConflictResTimeStamp
REPORT TO '/sn/sps/HDF620/datamodel/tt41dataConflict.rpt'
MASTER tt41data ON "TBMAS10df2-ttrep"
SUBSCRIBER tt41data ON "TBMAS9df1-ttrep"
RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST;
On this subject moving from 6.0.x to 7.0.x there has been some changes I would like to better understand.
6.0.x reported in the documentation for Unix systems:
If a host contains multiple network interfaces (with different IP addresses),
TimesTen replication tries to connect to the IP addresses in the same order as
returned by the gethostbyname call. It will try to connect using the first address;
if a connection cannot be established, it tries the remaining addresses in order
until a connection is established.
Now On Solaris I don't know how to let gethostbyname return more than one interface (the documention notes at this point:
If you have multiple network interface cards (NICs), be sure that “multi
on” is specified in the /etc/host.conf file. Otherwise, gethostbyname will not
return multiple addresses).
But I understand this could be valid for Linux based systems not for Solaris.
Now if I properly understand the above, how was the 6.0.x able to realize the first interface in the list (using the same -ttrep hostname) was down and use the other, if gethostbyname was reporting only a single entry ?
Once upgraded to 7.0.x we realized the ADD ROUTE option was added to teach TT how to use different interfaces associated to the same hostname. In our environment we did not include this clause, but still the replication was working fine regardless of which interface we were bringing down.
My both questions in the end lead to the same doubt on which is the algorithm used by TT to reach the replicated node w.r.t. entries in the /etc/hosts.
Looking at the nodes I can see that by default both routes are being used:
TBMAS10df2:/-# netstat -an|grep "151.98.227."
151.98.225.104.45312 151.98.227.4.14000 1049792 0 1049800 0 ESTABLISHED

151.98.226.5.44949 151.98.226.4.14005 1049792 0 1049800 0 ESTABLISHED
Tried to trace with ttTraceMon but once I brought down one of the interfaces did not see any reaction on either node, if you have some info it would be really appreciated !
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reply, I have few more queries on this.
1.Using the ROUTE CLAUSE we can use multiple IPs using priority level set, so that if highest priority level set in thr ROUTE clause for the IP is not active it will fall back to the next level priority 2 set IP. But cant we use ROUTE clause to use the multiple route IPs for replication simultaneously?
2. can we execute multiple schema for the same DSN and replication scheme but with different replication route IPs?
for example:
At present on my system, I have a replication scheme running for a specific DSN with stand alone Master-Subscriber mechanism, with a specific route IP through VLAN-xxx for replication.
Now I want to create and start another replication scheme for the same DSN and replication mechanism with a different VLAN-yyy route IP to be used for replication in parallel to the existing replication scheme. without making any changes to the pre-existing replication scheme.
for the above scenarios, will there be any specific changes respective to the different replication schema mechanism ie., Active Standby and Standalone Master Subscriber mechanism etc.,
If so what are the steps. like how we need to change the existing schema?
Thanks In advance.

Framebuffer with multiple video cards

I've been looking for a way to use the con2fb program. If I had /dev/fb0 for my AGP r128 card (the boot display device) and /dev/fb1 for my PCI radeon card, I think I'd be able to type con2fb /dev/fb1 /dev/tty2 to have vc2 appear on my external monitor. However I cannot find a framebuffer driver supporting more than the boot display device. I've only got vesafb and uvesafb to use my AGP card. I've tried loading aty128fb for my AGP card and radeonfb for my PCI card but I still only get a single /dev/fb0. Directfb looks like it supports many features but am I correct in saying that this is a userspace library meant to enhance fb drivers and not an fb driver itself?

Ok the reason radeonfb doesn't work is because my radeon card is too new =\. If I start with the radeon card as the boot display device and load aty128fb, the framebuffer on the other screen is created and I can move consoles there and start X on there but *silently*. The monitor is black while I'm doing it and I don't know how to fix that! Are there any M3 users able to use aty128fb?

Keynote with multiple graphics cards

Hello all
I will try and keep this a brief as possible. I am currently finished of an AV install in a local Christian Centre. As part of this we have installed a video system for displaying notices and live feeds of services and events. One of the members of the church has purchased 2 PCs with the purpose of displaying 2 different sets of notices in the reception area and the main hall. However for reasons that I won't go into here they completely mess the system up causing all sorts of interference problems.
As part of the install we are going to be supplying them with a Mac pro with final cut to record events and produce DVDs of them.
My question is if we were to add a second graphics card and iWork could keynote be set to use this card for it's output? And if it were would it leave the main output free (showing the desktop) for other uses?
I know that with dual output cards the second output can be set to either mirror of show notes but there is no info in the help about what happens with multiple cards that would provide 4 outputs.

No, Keynote takes over all the screens when presenting, and I'd think if you tried to edit in FCP when you were also running a show (if you could) it would likely bog BOTH programs down badly.
You could export your presentations into QT and have the QT player running on one screen, but still, if you fire up FCP, everything's a different ball game then.
I suggest leaving the FCP system on its own, don't try to do multiple things with it at the same time.

Programming multiple smart cards with multiple smart card readers in a PC causes a PCSCException in a smart card that is in progress

Hi,
I develop a Java code using smartcardio API to program a smart card. My GUI allows to add at most 5 smart card readers that will wait for card present, then do authentication and program the smart card with an application, then wait for card removal. This is a separate thread running in a loop for each smart card reader added as programmer.
The problem occurs when a certain smart card is in progress and I inserted another smart card to another smart card reader. Both smart card reader halts and throw sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f.
I also observed that every time there is an attempt to insert/remove a smart card in the smart card reader that is connected to the USB port would cause the programming in progress to be interrupted and throw the PCSCException.
These are some exceptions I got during my testing:
sun.security.smartcardio.PCSCException: Unknown error 0x8010002f
at sun.security.smartcardio.PCSC.SCardTransmit(Native Method)
at sun.security.smartcardio.ChannelImpl.doTransmit(ChannelImpl.java:171)
java.lang.Exception: Loader Record Failed: 6E | 0 //Sometimes I got this return code SW1 0x6E SW2 0x00 which means an APDU with an invalid 'CLA' bytes was received. I had check the command before it was sent and it was correct.
Help me understand this issue. I think the CardTerminal.isCardPresent(), CardTerminal.waitForCardPresent(0), and CardTerminal.waitForCardAbsent(0) cause this issue that CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted or the smart card insertion/removal causes the CardChannel.transmit(apduCommand) is interrupted.
Regards,
Knivez

Hi,
when you work with one smartcard reader only usually you address the slot -1 that means "the first found".
But to deal with multiple readers you have to use slots of course since one reader will be slot 0, next reader will be slot 1 and so on...
So a credential object will be identified on a system by a couple
<slot,alias>
After that, the way to address slots (I mean the syntax) depends on the classes you are using...

Re: CS5.5.2 with multiple GTX cards

If I installed multiple GTX cards, say 3 x GTX 580's, would CS5.5.2 take advantage of all of them?
Configurtion:
1 x GTX 580 -> connected to monitor
2 x GTX 580 -> just installed into PCI-E slots but not attached to a monitor or to each other
I heard that this is a hack for Nvidia Maximus?

Synchronize Counter card with CAN interface card.

How can I synchronize Counter/Timer board (6602) with CAN interface board (PXI-8464/2) using RTSI bus or PXI star bus?

There are example programs that install with the driver. You can take a CAN RTSI example and combine it with a DAQ RTSI example. If you are using LabVIEW, go to Help>>Examples. If you are using CVI, go to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\MeasurementStudio\CVI\samples\nican. If you are using C or VB, go to C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN.

Scene Window with Multiple Video Cards?

Hi,
I'm using the 3d Picture Control and displaying images using the scene window (the video hardware-accelerated window). The original video card was a Nvidia Quadro FX370 (PCI-express slot). I added a second video card, a Nvidia GeForce 6200 (PCI slot). Now the scene window will only render on displays connected to the second video card. When moved to a display on the original card, no scene is displayed and the window latches on to the background. Does anyone have any experience with this or have any suggestions?
TIA,
Joe

Hi Joe,
It seems as though there may be a conflict between the drivers for the two video cards. Since the video cards are made by the same company there may be some shared files between the driver and when they both try accessing the file it could be creating an errorous situation. The first step I would take is to ensure that you have the most up to date drivers for both video cards to verify that this situation has not already been fixed. Next to identify if your video cards are in fact sharing files:
Right click on My Computer and select properties to bring up the System Properties
Click on the Device Manager under the Hardware tab
Once the device manager is populated expand the display adapters and select one of your video card drivers
Right click and bring up its property window
Go to the Driver tab and click on the Driver Details to bring up all of the files the driver uses
Repeat steps 3-5 for the other video card driver and compare to see if it shares any files
Please reply and let me know the results of this process. This will help us to more specifically identify our issue.
Thanks and have a great night!

Loading datastore with multiple interfaces

We want to have multiple interfaces load the same datastore. Each of these processes can run in parallel. The problem we have is when the LKM fires it creates a C$ table with the same name in each interface. Is there a way to prevent this from creating a duplicate name?
Troy

Hi-
Whenever ODI creates a loading table it will add the prefix with the name of C$ with the name of your table name. That is the reason you are getting the table name with more than 30 characters.
Loading table prefix is a mandatory field that should be there in your physical schema definition. So whenever you are creating a table it should not exceed the characters defined in the technology or database.
Thanks,

Managing dual monitor with multiple desktops

After updating to Lion, I set my macbook up with a few different desktops so I could easily swipe between them instead of searching for the windows I needed. I just set up a second monitor to my mac and noticed that anytime I swipe to a different desktop, both monitors change. Is there a way to "freeze" one while the other moves? Or better yet, can I set up my second monitor to only have one desktop while my mac still has 2 or more?

While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

Odi-row wise insertion of single source into multiple interfaces in package

hi,
i have an issue.My source table is emp(empno(pk),name,job,mgr,sal,deptno,comm).And my target tables are
emp1(name,empnoa(pk),deptno),emp2(empnob(pk),job,sal).
i have two interfaces: interface1----emp to emp1
interface2-----emp to emp2.
I have 100 rows in my source table.
Requirement is :in my package i put interface 1 after interface 2.
For each row of the sorce emp.The data should go into targets emp1,emp2.If a particular row isnt getting into either emp1 or emp2.That particular should rollback[i.e it should enter into either emp1 or emp2].
The insertion should be row wise and not the whole of source data.
How do i go about this?

Perhaps this will work:
Keep interface 1 as is - run it first in the package.
for interface 2, join emp to emp1, only update/insert into target (emp2) if: emp.empno = emp1.empnoa - this way, you will not add anything to emp2 that is not in emp1.
then, create a simple procedure to
delete *
from emp1
where not empnoa in (select empnob from emp2)
They may be a better solution, but this is easy and should work just fine.

7k vPC best practice with multiple line cards?

I have a pair of 7k's that have a single line card with a 2 port vPC linked to a pair of 5k's, another 2 port vPC linked to the layer 3 VDC and a 4 port vPC used for peer link. I recently added an additional line card to the 7k’s and want to add redundancy for the new line card.  Would it be best to simply remove one of the existing ports from each vPC on line card 1 and then include a port from the new line card? For the peer link, my thought was to remove two ports from the existing port channel and then add back 2 ports from the new line card. This way line card 1 and 2 will share the ports that make up the vPC’s instead of all of the vPC ports being on line card 1. Does that make sense or is there a better way to implement line card redundancy after adding a new line card?
Also, if I want to add some of the ports on line card 2 to the layer 3 VDC. Can I run the allocate interface command without the fear of it removing any existing allocated ports?  I understand that the ports being moved/allocated to a different VDC will lose their current configuration.  I had a bad experience years ago using "switchport trunk vlan allowed" vs. "switchport trunk vlan allowed add" command so I just want to make sure the allocate interface doesn't require the "add" option! :)
Thanks!

Hi,
For adding new interface to port-channel:
1. you can shutdown the new physical interface and put all the configure as existing member interface.
2. add as port-channal member.
3. Unshut the physical interfaces (new interface- module 2).
4. Shutdown the physical interfaces (module 1) which you wanted to remove from the port-channel
Moving interface from one VDC another VDC will erase the configuration on that  interface . you could use allocate interface command to add new interface to the VDC but all the interface should be in same port group. Adding new interface to vdc will not affect existing interface configuration .

Crash with multiple video cards

I have three monitors connected to two separate graphics cards, an 8800GT and an FX5200 (PCI). Now, this setup works fine in regular XP Pro, with driver 175.19; Photoshop CS4's OpenGL works without a problem save for the brush cursor bug. However, I installed Vista x64 as a dual boot for the RAM boost, and ran into a bit of a wall.
Photoshop now refuses to work at all with the OpenGL enhancements on. It loads (an improvement in itself, used to get stuck at "Reading preferences"), but it'll freeze when I try to open a file or go to the performance settings. I'm currently using driver 171.16; I know it's outdated, but it's the most recent one that works with both cards in Vista x64. I'm also quite sure it's not the problem; Photoshop works perfectly with OpenGL on if I disable the FX5200.
I've tried the registry key AllowOldGPUs_ON to no effect. I've also tried both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions, with no difference. Is it possible to get Photoshop working with both cards, short of replacing the FX5200?
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.50GHz
4GB RAM
Over 300GB HDD space available for scratch disk use
EVGA 8800GT
PNY Verto FX5200

Good to hear that it worked. Changing the value you said does not fix my issue.
Within the System Info tab it is clearly visible that CS4 Extended uses my 8400 GT with 256 MB.
I've seen that the performance is not so bad at all but I think only 256 MB VRAM is a bit less.
