Has anyone ever used Windows Server failover | SQL failover?

We run a SQL Failover cluster and it has to be the same.
All nodes in a failover cluster must be of the same platform, either 32-bit or 64-bit, and must run the same operating system edition and version. Also, 64-bit SQL Server editions must be installed on 64-bit hardware running the 64-bit versions of Windows operating systems.

I was looking to see if anyone has exposure to this and if you can actually run failover with two disparate OS's, ie. Server 2008 R2 and Server 2012.

Has anyone ever used web start in large scale ?

Dear friends,
have you ever used some web start application in large scale ?
i.e., have you distributed some real application with web-start?
I�m doing such experience here and I�m a bit afraid about several problems in the final user machine - such as java version, browser incompatibility and mainly with the ugly WebStart cache problems.

can you give a bit more detail on what exactly you're afraid of? is this a www application? internal business app? etc.
for example you can force your java version in java web-start,etc...

Has anyone ever used their iPad to remotely connect to a iMac and use programs like Photoshop on their iPad?

Hi everyone,
I had an iMac at home, but I've recently taken on some freelance work and they would like me to come into the office every now and then. I don't want to purchase a laptop and I know you can remotely connect to your desktop with an iPad, but I need to know if anyone has ever done that and successfully used programs like Photoshop on their iPad. Is there lag time when trying to use the software? Or is it just not possible and I should consider getting a laptop again?
Thank you!

iPads are not exact laptop replacements. If you need to be using Photoshop, then buy a normal laptop computer.
Using a remote access app on an IPad or any tablet conputer to remote access your computer to operate will be quite a lot slower and clumsier than just having a laptop with a normal OS and Photoshop application installed.

Has anyone ever used this CF8 host?

Hi,
I'm currently using HostMySite - but it's just for my
personal site and it seems like I'm paying just too much for what I
use it for $23.95 USD (about £12 GBP) per month.
This company (
http://www.hostingfuse.com/index.php/fuseaction/hosting.webhosting
) seem to be Australian, offering reasonable CF8 hosting for $10
AUD (about £4.5 GBP).
Just wanted to know if anyone has used them and what they're
like? Or if someone has alternative solutions?
Thanks,
Mikey.

You may only want an Australia Host but I like
http://www.gearhost.com They are
located in CO
and have very reasonable prices. The nice thing is
that you can use CF, ASP or PHP with any account.

Has anyone ever used an invisibleShield on a Mac laptop?

I have just ordered a White Macbook and am concerned about the yellow discoloration issue. I was thinking of ordering an invisibleShield from www.shieldzone.com and I wondered if anyone had any experience with the product? They just released the 13" Macbook shield in the last day or so.

are you sure heating cause discolorization? I doubt it because iBook has the same materials on surface as well. even macbook heating get more than iBook, it's not too much higher to damage the surface.
by the way, as far as you keep vent clear, invidisible shield will be fine. I just visited that site. there are three options they sell. but I don't recommend that you buy bottom shield. for top plate where Apple logo is glow, and touchpad, palm rest, it will be fine. I also consider to get one, too.

Has anyone ever used Dynaflo LIQUID-ARMOR?

It's discounted through Apple User Groups... anyone know anything about it. Anyone used it? I use iKlear once a week (or as needed) but this is something else.
Thanks,
Clinton

Clinton. I just bought and tried this on a recommendation a few days ago. It seem's simple enough to use. You simply wipe it on, let it cure, then buff off your screen with the included micro-fiber cloth. I can tell there is something there but I can't say 100% that it is actually providing "additional" protection. It does not change the appearance of the screen or add any "tackiness" to the screen. The screen looks as good with it on, as with it off. Exactly what I want as I do not want to use a screen cover on my iPhone 5 and iPad. I figure for the $19.95 I paid at CompUSA, it can't hurt. And there is enough to treat multiple devices more than once.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone ever used a livescribe smartpen with a Mac?

I am about to purchase a livescribe smartpen which will record handwritten notes and audio and store them to a computer. Most of the promotion about the smartpen describes its use with a PC. How does it work with a MacBook Pro?

You may not get an answer here. I took a look at the Amazon reviews for the Lightscribe, and there were very few that dealt with the Mac, and the best review was decidely negative. Not good.

Has anyone ever used a Varian Sentorr unit?

I have a BA2 model, and although I can write serial commands in Hyperterminal and display the Sentorr's answer there, when I use the Labview Example Code (serial communication) it times out before answering. If you bridge the serial pins, Labview will read what it writes... So why doesn't the Sentorr recognize my code?

Are you sending a termination character at the end of your command. Hyperterminal does this for you but you have to add this yourself when you write your own program or use the example. The term character is usually a CR or LF (check your documentation). In the example, you can right click on the string control and select '\" Codes Display and enter a \r for carriage return or \n or a line feed. You could also use the concantenate string function to add the character to the string written - use the constants on the string palette or you can use the VISA property node to automatically add the term character to every write.

Has anyone ever used a Yamaha Robot Controller (SRC-X)?

I just inherited this controller and I'd like to use it with LabVIEW. I just don't know where to start with it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Alyssa,
I have been able to get communication working with the ERCX. It was fairly straight-forward and so I'm wondering if you have the correct serial settings. 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, odd parity, XON/XOFF handshaking. I leave the termination character enabled so that the and the default termination character will work for this "\n". The controller actually sends back a "\r\n" termination, but with the "\n" last, this sould work. I then call the VISA Read and tell it to read up to 10k bytes. Once it finds that termination character, though, it will stop the read.
I've attached two screenshots that might be helpful. You probably already are aware of this since you've had the communication successfully via HyperTerminal, but in the LabVIEW sense, it's helpful to take your "Write Buffer" string input and set it so that it's in "\" Codes Display mode. This will allow you to manually type in the "\r\n" you need at the end of your command. Also, each command starts with the "@".
Let me know if I can be of further help.
Jim

Has anyone ever used the f:runGlobalApplication/ tag?

The taglib documentation is not very helpful. My best guess is that this tag is meant to execute a global activity. I tried testing this out in Studio, but I get an error saying that Process '/' is not available. This kind of makes sense, as I don't see any way to identify which process the activity may reside in. A search of "runGlobalApplication" on the forum turned up zero results, I'm hoping someone out there knows how this tag works.

Has anyone ever ran Logic using VMWare Workstation on a Windows PC?

Has anyone ever emulated Mac OS X and used Logic on their x86 Microsoft Windows systems? I was thinking about doing this to use some synths and stuff with some Windows designed software. I'm not sure if it is possible to use both operating systems at the same time with VMWare Workstation operating system emulator. Help me out guys. Has anyone ever done it? Can it be done?

VMWare Workstation will not run the client version of Mac OS X in emulation, and likely won't run Mac OS X Server either.

The lease timeout between avaiability group and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired

Hi,
I am having some issues where I get a lease timeout from time to time. I have a Windows 2012 Failover Cluster with 2 nodes and 2 SQL 2012 Always-on Availability Groups. Both nodes
are a physical machines and each node is the primary for an AG.
From what I understand if
the HealhCheckTimeout
is exceeded without the signal exchange the lease is declared 'expired' and the SQL Server resource dll reports that the SQL Server availability group no longer 'looks alive' to the Windows cluster manager. Here are the properties I have setup
which are the default settings:
LeaseTimeout - 20000
HealthCheckTimeout - 30000
VerboseLoging - 0>
FailureConditionLevel – 3
Here are the events that occur in the Application Event Viewer:
Event ID 19407:
The lease between availability group 'AG_NAME' and the Windows Server Failover Cluster has expired. A connectivity issue occurred between the instance of SQL Server and the Windows Server Failover
Cluster. To determine whether the availability group is failing over correctly, check the corresponding availability group resource in the Windows Server Failover Cluster.
Event ID 35285:
The recovery LSN (120881:37533:1) was identified for the database with ID 32. This is an informational message only. No user action is required.
SQl server logs are too long to post in this box but I can send them if you request.
The AG is setup to failover automatically but it did not failover. I am trying to figure out why the lease timed out. Thanks.

From what I've been able to find out, this is due to an issue with the procedure sp_server_diagnostics. It sounds like the cluster is expecting this procedure to regularly log good status "Clean" in the log files, but the procedure is designed not
to flood the logs with "Clean" messages, so only reports changes, and does not make an entry when the last status was "Clean" and the current status is "Clean". The result is that the cluster looks to be unresponsive. However, once it initiates
the failover, the primary machine responds, since it was never really down, and the failover operation stops.
The end result is that there really never is a failover, but the database becomes unavailable for a few minutes while this is resolved.
I'm going to try setting the cluster's failure condition level to 2 (instead of 3) and see if that prevents the down time.

How to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)

I have a scenario with the three nodes with server 2012 standard, each running an instance of SQL Server 2012 enterprise, participate in a
single Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC) that spans two data centers.
If the nodes in the primary data center are unavailable due to data center outage. Then how I can able to access node in the WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster) in the secondary disaster recovery data center automatically with some script.
I want to write script that can be able to check primary data center by pinging some IP after every 5 or 10 minutes.
If that IP is unable to respond then script can be able to Perform Forced Manual Failover of Availability Group (SQL Server) and WSFC (Windows Server Failover Cluster)
Can you please guide me for script writing for automatic failover in case of primary datacenter outage?

please post you question on failover clusters in the cluster forum. THey will explain how this works and point you at scipts.
You should also look in the Gallery for cluster management scripts.

You are trying to implement manually what should be happening automatically in the cluster. If the primary SQL Server becomes unavailable in the data center, it should fail over to the secondary SQL Server automatically. Is that not working?
You also might want to run this configuration by some SQL experts. I am not a SQL expert, but if you have both hosts in the data center in a cluster, there is no need for replication between those two nodes as they would be accessing
the database from some form of shared storage. Then it looks like you are trying to implement Always On to the DR site. I'm not sure you can mix both types of failover in a single configuration.
FYI, it would make more sense to establish a file share witness in your DR site instead of placing a third node in the data center for Node Majority quorum.

Has anyone ever succeeded to use the scope_identity() from the LabVIEW DB toolkit ?

Hi,
Using LabVIEW 2014 DS, and MSSQL 2008R2.
I have configured a table with identity, so the indexed will be incremented automatically.
I am trying to get the ID of the last Insert command that I am using.
I am trying to SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() but with no success.
I read about trying to so it with a procedure or transaction, but I just could not succeed myself.
Has anyone ever succeeded to use the scope_identity() from the LabVIEW DB toolkit ?
If yes, can you please elaborate more or even share the code ?
Thanks,
Amitai.

Yes I have...let me dig out some code...
I do my INSERT query (with a semicolon at the end) and in the same query string do a "SELECT SCOPE_IDENTITY() as inserted_id;" - essentially what you're doing here is running two queries in one - one to insert your data and the second to retrieve the ID. From what I remember of when I did this (last year?), I think scope_identity() is valid for the same connection so as you're doing both queries in the same connection it should always be valid.
I then do this to get the ID (pardon the crappy VI snippet):
Essentially I execute the query and the result is a 2D array that contains one row/column which is your last inserted ID.
