Good technical reason why data storage is limited to SAN in UC-UCS?

Hi all,
I would like to know why in all UC documents, when talking about virtualization, we are explicitly limited to SAN? What is wrong with NAS? I'm looking for good technical reason (i.e. can guess couple sales/presales reasons)....
Thanks,
Tenaro

Not sure this is a “good” reason but it is “a” reason and one I know was cited as a concern early on.
SAN allows the server to treat it like a remote disk (i.e. you can access files by blocks and offsets as you would on a hard drive) – the NAS is a file server and typically will have its own file management “head” that takes care of this (i.e. you access files by name to the NAS and it will fetch/write the file for you) – the means you can have a much wider variety of applications/servers using a NAS without knowing or caring – SAN is going to require more work. But on the up side doing things like streaming data to/from the storage facility (i.e. recording/playing back a voice message) gives the application server using SAN much more control over how that is done. Think about control over pre-fetching chunks of a wav file for playback and controlling streaming logic on a long write – the NAS hides all this from the application, you have no control.
A real-world example: I use a NAS at home (2 TB RAID… yes, I need that much space. Really). I can stream 6 or 7 HD TV shows off the NAS to computers/TVs around the house no sweat. However recording HD TO the NAS directly is a disaster – massive file fragmentation even after I fiddled endlessly with various settings and it can’t manage more than 2 at a time without dropping frames. I ended up having to record all streams locally and then copy them over to the NAS as whole files to keep things sane and tidy. If I were using a SAN and had a media capture setup sophisticated enough to use it properly this wouldn’t be a problem.
Understood NAS and SAN are starting to blur as time moves ahead but this is certainly a viable issue to take into consideration.

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once?

Is there a technical reason why I can't sync both my iCloud and Yahoo/Gmail contacts at once? I would like to be able to sync between all three services.

Definetely not. It's as simple as maintaining a single database and use it for iCloud, Google, Yahoo or any other... like it was earlier. It's just Apple being barbaric in their strategy to restrict use of competing devices and services.

HT201335 Is there a technical reason why the first gen iPad will not mirror?

I have a first gen iPad running 5.1.1
I had 5.1 and that did not work either.
A new 2012 apple tv and no go on the mirroring. My iPhone 4a mirrors. Why can't the first gen iPad

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head.
Yes iPad 1 still seems good for me too, but the 3rd gen is noticeably smoother in use.
Absolute specs are really irrelevant - Apple have not allowed the iPad 1 to mirror and that's that - pretty much like older Macs pre 2011 not being able to do so due to lack of a CPU feature.

What is the Technical Reason for Creating Message Type

Hi,
Is there any particular reason to use Message Type. Already we are defining Data Type. Please give me some detailed explanations.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Giridhar.C

Hi Giri,
SAP telling below reason why we are creating message type
"A message type comprises a data type that describes the structure of a message. For technical reasons, a data type alone is not sufficient to describe the instance of a message: Data types are defined in XML Schema as abstract types that are not yet tied to an element. You can only describe an instance of a message when you have specified a data type as an element type. Therefore, a message type defines the root element of a message"

How to Troubleshoot why data is not moving over into the Data Warehouse after Sql Server Agent Job Run

Hello,
Here is my problem:
Data was imported into the staging area. After resolving some errors and running the job, I got the data to move over to the next area. From there, data should be moving over into the DW. I have been troubleshooting for hours and cannot reslove this
issue. I have restarted the sql service services, I have ran a couple packages manually, and the job is running successfully.
What are some reasons why data is not getting into the data warehouse? Where should I be looking?
Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Anything is possible.
So, just to reiterate, running the job manually works, running the scheduled job does not result in errors neither data arriving to the DW, right? And it used to, correct?
If so, the 1st step would be to examine the configuration(s). But not before you inspect the package. Do you have an ability to export it to a file system and open in BIDS?

7 good reasons, why artist=album name is not the solution for compilations

Hi,
in this forum everytime the compilations-problem is discussed, somebody comes up with the solution to fill the album-name into the artist name field and to set the song-title name to "Artist / Song-Title". This might help with the cover-flow issue but does have the following downsides:
7 good reasons, why artist=album name is no alternative for compilations
========================================================================
1) It messes up the artist search.
2) Unability to turn the display of artists on compilations on or off on demand without changing all the tags
3) The mp3 tags are not used in the standard way
4) "Artist / Song-Title" as song-title name is often too long to display
5) The album name appears twice in the song information display when the song is playing (as the artist name and as the album name)
6) This is not consistent with how it works in iTunes
7) People owning a lot of compilations are forced to do A LOT of manual changes only to "fix it" back when (hopefully soon) a new firmware fixing this issue arrives
I already posted this as an answer in another thread but I thought it might be helpful to discuss this in an own thread. What do you think about the reasons? Can you add additional reasons?
If Apple really left out the compilations-flag on purpose (see http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=5401783#5401783) we might need some good arguments to bring it back in.
Best regards, Jens

Yes, I agree with your list. I also think it is inconceivable that Apple simply forgot to add the compilations feature. There obviously has to be a good reason for this. However, I haven't got a clue what that reason might be.

Using the new AppleTV, I cannot seem to find the same TV shows on the iTune Store as the older AppleTV. The selection is far more limited. For example, Modern Family is not available ... Any reason why?

I recently upgraded from an older AppleTV to the new AppleTV. The TV Shows I can access through the new AppleTV are far fewer than before. For example, I cannot find Modern Family on the iTune Store, whereas I used to be able to find it on my older AppleTV. Any reason why the selection is more limited?

I just found out the answer to my own post by browsing through other discussions. Looks like the new AppleTV only provides access to rental TV shows. Can't purchase anything ... So, the selection is far more limited. It's a drag, but at least the mystery is solved...

I had this same issue, except I have Symantec mail security not Forefront. It wound up being a line in the adult content filter. For whatever reason, they included "If you received this email" as one of the literal strings. This is probably part
of almost every corporate confidentiality clause I have ever seen!! go figure......
Thanks for the event log hint- since I have the adult content set to delete, I had no good tracking mechanism in Exhange or SMSME. I set email notifications for the future on these.

I had this same problem, but I have ESET Mail Security Server. in some one case the problem y solved if I attach the "user@domain" in the "white
List". But in many case the problem is continuous. I have Exchange 2007 in MS Windows Server 2003.
Thanks for yours help.

Reasons why the E72 is NOT a 'smartphone'

Contrary to what Nokia says in its marketing blurb and what the dealer claims, the Nokia E72 (and by inference, others in its ilk) is NOT a 'smartphone' by any stretch of the mind. Yes, the E72 (and its predecessor the E71 and to a lesser extent the E63) are designs of beauty, good form factor, full QWERTY keyboard, brilliant screen, good camera and wonderful media compatibility features. But a 'smartphone' is more. The following are some reasons (having owned - and regretted big time - an E72 for the past 2 weeks:
1. Top of my complaints list is the fact that the E72 does not have a good desktop suite. The Nokia PC Suite that it ships with is a poor substitute. For one, it merely allows the phone's contents to be viewed on a PC screen; it does not allow for the phone's data to be viewed or manipulated offline. What this means is that the E72 must be connected to the PC for you to be able to see the contents. What a 'smartphone' needs is the ability for its desktop suite software to be able to be used even when the phone is not connected to the PC (ie offline). This requires a full copy of the phone's data to be stored on the PC and one is able to view, change, edit, etc this data.
Reasons why one wold want to work offline on the PC are many. Firstly, it lets you edit the data on the PC (much easier to work on a full PC than on an E72). You can input all your contacts data, etc on the PC then sync to the phone. Similarly, other data (such as diary events, notes, etc can be authored on a PC and then uploaded on to the E72. Additionally, one can use the PC Suite software as your main PIM (personal info management) software. But I suppose Nokia doesn't want people to be able to do that. What a shame, if that's what the modern day executive needs then he'll just go elsewhere.
Another reason why the PC Suite software should allow full data manipulation is ... what if your phone is lost, how would you access all your info (contacts, calendar events, memos, notes, etc)? Even if you have a daily backup, the Nokia user would actually need to acquire another phone (similar model or equivalent) and then do a restore. Until then, the backup file is of no use (because it cannot be viewed or manipulated). Such backup strategies (in proprietary flat files) are from the dark ages of computer technology! Nokia still believes it is cutting edge!
2. Nokia's PC Suite software is a joke. Not only does it require that the phone is connected to the PC for it to work, it actually handles data quite differently from the way the phone itself handles the same data! You can change the fields on the phone but not on the PC Suite, eg you can edit the field on the phone from "Mobile" to "Mobile 1", you can create a new field called "Mobile 2" but on the PC Suite, all you get is the standard "Mobile" and the second mobile field you create is not found! Wow, what synchronisation!
3. On the phone itself, a true 'smartphone' gives its user a multitude of options to do things his/her own way. In calendar events mode, I may want to set alarms 15mins before or 30 mins after! The E72 only allows before, that too only with a set of predetermined figures - ie I cannot set an alarm 23 mins before.
For some events, I may want to repeat the event and its related alarm on a weekly, monthly or annual basis. A professor may want to set a weekly alarm (starting from week 1 of the semester to week 14 of the semesster) for his lectures. Another person may want to set an alarm on a certain day of the month for his loan repayment to the bank. The Nokia allows you to set an annual anniversary alarm only. I cannot set an alarm for an event 3 days ahead (say, to give me advance notice to buy a present for a loved one!)
When editing calendar events, if you change a field but then decide to not keep the new figure, there is no option to cancel. Only the DONE button is present. You have to save (done) then re-edit the field. Silly.
Similarly the Snooze buttin ought to give the user flexibility to put the alarm off for any set of time. The phone may remind me of an upcoming event say 4 hours beforehand, I then need to put if off (snooze) for say an hour before it reminds me again. That's what a 'smartphone' does, remind you politely like an english butler!
4. The synchronising cable that Nokia ships with the E72 is another joke - its no longer than 6 inches long. Coupled with the requirement that the phone must be hooked up to the PC when doing any work on the PC Suite (see items 1 & 2 above), what if there is an incoming call? How do you answer the call with a 6 inche cable connecting the phone to the PC? Sure Nokia want's to make savings, but it should be practical.
The above are the main grouses that I have with the E72. As any reader can aappreciate, they are all related to the software side of the phone. At the moment - and with my unit being still new - I have not come across any issues related to the build quality. Yes the design of the battery cover seem flimsy. Its ok so far but I can see its not going to last that way for very long. Yes there is a bit of light leak directly under the Home key but I can live with it. The rear battery cover smudges easily and is a pain to keep clean, but hey, you can't have it all good.
But as far as the software side is concerned, yes, I do expect it to perform well in handling my data. We live in a modern world where most of us have an information overload in our daily lives. That's why we look forward to a 'business smartphone' - a device that is better than a personal assistant and one I can carry in my pocket. But when we have major global corporations such as Nokia promising you an 'advanced business smartphone' that actually falls three steps short, then I believe the public is being cheated for good.
I hope other readers would read this post and are better informed about what kind of device they'd be getting should they decide to purchase an E72. I also realise that Nokia may decide to edit (or even delete entirely) this post, but hey, if that happens, then I'd be promptem to post a copy of this review in a dozen other public forums.
Have a great day!
There ought to be laws out there on the use of the term 'smartphone'

You are correct, well done - it is my view.
But no, I am disabled and don't work for anyone, but I was a programming consultant.
If I'm buying or bought anything in the past such as an E71 or E72 then I make sure it can do what I need it to before hand. The E71 surpassed my requirements.
Mine came with a USB cable over a meter long, however I use bluetooth and need to do nothing - if my PC is on it knows my phone is there and visa versa without me doing anything (smart!).
The phone can access any of my PC files I require using the phone even when I am out and the PC is switched off. The phone tells me which bus stops to get off at and which way to go when I do. The phone can manage all my calls right down to tailoring for specific numbers and depending on my GPS location do different things. I can automatically order my repeat prescriptions from anywhere and watch live TV or stream my favourite radio stations wherever I am. I can use msn or any messenger, wherever I am - I could go on and on - my phone is definitely 'smart'.
Ovi is similar to PC suite but much more. You can sync contacts with the ovi server and then access them from any PC. I don't need that functionality so I don't know it very well but I have used it a few times. Ovi is Nokia's mobile web service, go to 'my nokia' to find out, its not difficult.
I have no need to read your post again, none of what you said justifies the heading you gave this thread.
If your beloved Palm is so great then go buy another one, why would we be bothered about them in this thread.
Bottom line is this, you have NOT given any good reasons why the E72 (or any E series phone) 'is NOT a smartphone'. What you believe we think about what is excellent is irrelevant.

Clone computers. Any reason why not?

Hi
I have an Intel Mini and I am going to buy a MacBook for travelling. Is there any reason why I could not just copy my Mini onto the MacBooks drive? Would it still be possible to use them together on a local network, given that their names etc would be identical?
Cheers!
Inte Mini, Core 2 Duo 2.16, 7200 HD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Copying the whole drive is a bit like sandblasting a cracker. Obliterating the macbook harddrive like that will take ages, and presumably copying data back would involve copying the macbook back to the mac mini? This would mean that you could never use them at the same time because you would have you manually fudge the changes. Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. So, no technical reason it can't be done, but lots of practical ones.
A much better way would be to get some synchronisation software (Deja Vu, Chronosync, rsyncX, or whatever) and have a 'shared' section on each drive that you can sync back and forth. Another option (and one I have implemented) is to use a Subversion repository. Check out the repository to the mini and the macbook, and you can easily resolve conflicts and take it on the move.

Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories. Quicken on a PC was good at this. Mint seems very limited.

Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks). It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch.
A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta. I switched to iBank. I used it for more than a year. It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works". I found ONE feature that I liked: you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back. I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view. Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction). No such help in iBank. Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank. I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either. The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account. (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25 yielded $2,250,000.) Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank. I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

WAAS Apliance usable storage -vs- maximum data storage

We are looking into deploying the new Wave 594 and have a question about the drive space. The unit comes with a 500G drive and a second optional 500G drive. In one place on the specs they say optional second hard disk drive for RAID 1 redundancy but under the hardware specs they list maximum data storage as 2 x 500G HDD. Do I have the potential for a total of 1T of space or just 500G Raid1? Also is the space divided up dynamically or are there hard limits? I figure some of this space needs to be allocated to the DRE cache and the rest for other data storage such as prepositioning. I am trying to find out what my maximums would be.
Brent

Hi Brent,
Don't bother.
You cannot change the allocations between the different allocations.
WAAS installation (WAAS rescue disk or preinstalled) will determine the allocation based on :
The device model
The amount of RAM installed (within the supported specs)
The reason for putting in an additional disk, in a 594, is solely for RAID-1 purposes, you will always end of with 500GB disk space.
You have to ask your Cisco accoung manager for the precise sizing guides, but for a :
594 w/8GB RAM (default) - you'll end up with 80GB of DRE disk cache and 100GB for the CIFS object cache
594 w/12GB RAM - you'll end up with 120GB of DRE disk cache and 100GB for the CIFS object cache
and these cannot be modied.
Best regards
Finn
