Hp Blades - flex10 technology questions

Hello, I have a few doubts regarding HP blades and Oracle VM. In particular:
- HP BL460c G6 model comes with an embedded "flex10" network adapter.
If connected to a standard switch interconnect module (NOT to a VC interconnect module!), this adapter should be seen by the system as (2) standard 1 Gbit network cards.
Adding another flex10 adapter in an expansion slot should result in seeing (4) standard 1 Gbit NICs, on a "server point of view".
The questions:
- I'd like to know if anybody has tried this config with Oracle VM (embedded flex10 adapter + additional flex10 adapter + standard interconnect switch module), and if it is true that this is seen as 4 standard NICs...
- Any troubles with NIC teaming/bonding with this config and Oracle VM?
- Finally, a slightly different question, but given that we're here :-) anybody knows if the newest G7 blades with Opteron 61xx processor(s) are supported/certified for Oracle VM?
Thanks!

i'm very familiar with the hp pdt, what i'm lacking of is the real equipment to test it out:
In theory, if you will put standard 1 Gbit Ethernet switches in the front end (e.g. GbE2C), the flex10 cards should be seen by the physical servers as if they were Broadcom 1Gbit NICs. Therefore, no special drivers should be needed. Everything should work right away.
-->Yes, flexNICs are backward compatible.
With this config, each flex10 card will "provide" 2 "Broadcom" NICs. Therefore, if you have the embedded NC532i and if you add a mezzanine NC532m, you will end up seeing 4 standard 1 Gbit Broadcom NICs.
--> Yes, this is provided you put in non Flex10 VC
To see the 8 NICs, and to have the possibility of shaping the bandwidth allocation on each of them up to a total of 10 Gbits, you need to put 10 Gbit switches in the front end, e.g. ProCurve switches. In THIS case, the flex10 cards will be seen as 4 NICs on each card, for a total bandwidth of 10 GBits (and a total of 8 NICs if you have 2 cards). I don't know if you need special drivers in this case, but I guess so...
-->No, the only way for you to have 8 FlexNIC with a G6 is thru flex10 virtual connect ONLY. yes, there is a special driver for it, but i can;t seem to find it for OVM. Btw, Virtual Connect are not switches, this is a common misconception.
Please note that I haven't effectively tried a real configuration... This is just what I've been getting to know after speaking to HP people.
--> This is what i'm lacking as well. HP does not officially support OVM with flexNICs though.
Also, it looks like the G6 blades are going to be soon out of production (nothing official, but I've heard it should be around february). After that, only the BL460c G7 will be available (with flexfabric NICs, so it's going to change AGAIN).
-->G6 are still selling but will be replaced with G7 that comes with FlexFabric adapters (FCoE). nothing is going to change. if you place a G7 blade and pair it with flex10 virtual connect, you will still get the 8 flexNICs. if you were to place a G6 blade and pair it with flexFabric (FF) virtual connect you are still going to have 8 flexNICs. FCoE capability will only be available if u pair FF VC with FF CNA (converged network adapter)

Old geezer with new technology question

I am old and I have an old cell phone.
It will make calls and receive calls.
I am thinking about venturing to some new technology... an iPhone maybe?
Wondering if it will do ONE THING that I might be wanting to do.
With an iPhone... can you:
make a video/audio recording AND simultaneously, real time, upload it to... somewhere
as in... I have an iCloud account, maybe there?
Thanks,
James
P.S. Please make any answers at kindergarten level, and don't assume I know a bunch of terms or concepts, I probably don't. Thanks.
P.P.S. If you need more information from me to answer/help, just ask and i will try to provide.

Thank you, Novicii.
I don’t have Facebook or Twitter (and WON’T), so they’re out.
And don’t know about WiFi areas.
But if I have an iCloud account and (got) a cellular data plan (when I got my iPhone) then it sounds like I could do this.
Only two questions:
1-
You talk about uploading “photos”.
I’m talking about uploading continuously running video as it is still recording.
Will it (progressively) upload the video (pari passu) WHILST the video is still in the process of recording?
Or would you need to END the video recording before it would SEND?
2-
And the link you gave me (great link!)
Talks about PhotoStream vs. Shared PhotoStream and the requirements.
I’ve only got OSX 10.7.5 but it looks like that would suffice for (non-shared) PhotoStream, which would be fine for me.
10.7.5?
3-
But again, all I saw the link talking about was “Photos” (admit I haven't parsed my way through all there completely)
Does everything they say on that page you linked about photos apply to VIDEO?
Thanks Novicii!

Java card technology question

Hi all
Im new to the java card technology. I've downloaded and installed the java card kit and tested the demos on the virtual environment. I have the towitoko card reader, downloaded the cttwkw32.dll, but i dont know how to communicate with it.
Can pls anyone tell me what steps should i follow in order to be able to communicate with the reader? is there any IDE for building such applications (except for the eclipse and the jcop toolbox)?
Thanks in advance.

javacard.framework is defined in a jar file, supplied with Java Card Development kit from here: http://java.sun.com/products/javacard/downloads/index.html

Generic platform/technology question

Hi, sorry to ask but I'm stuck...
I've been asked to develop an applcation and I'm stuck on what technologies to use.
I will have an Oracle database at the backend but need to find what front-end to use. Java desktop? ADF? JSF?
One thing I do know is that the company would prefer zero cost.
I'm looking at using JDeveloper to design the database and would prefer not to use Visual Studio 10 with ASP and ODT.
The application is for a small number of people to track audit checks on work carried out.
I've had a bit of a look at Apex but I need to run jobs behine the scenes to generate checks etc.
I'm by myself and have written applications in the past in MFC and a bit of JAVA, ASP etc.
I'm happy to learn new languages but need a pointer on a direction to start with.
I like Java but not hung up on going that direction.
Sorry if this is a bit wooly.

Oracle ADF is a powerful end-to-end framework that covers all the layers of the modern applications (e.g. data access components, business services, data bindings, controller, presentation layer). Oracle ADF is suitable for both small applications and large enterprise systems. However, Oracle ADF requires a considerable amount of Java & ADF knowledge and corresponding practical experience. It is not a framework you can learn in a week. Have in mind that you will need at least several weeks to learn and try the framework before starting development of real applications for a real customer.
One thing I do know is that the company would prefer zero cost.
Oracle ADF (incl. ADF Business Components, ADF Faces, ADF Bindings, etc.) is not free. It is free to develop ADF applications, but ADF needs runtime licenses when running in a production environment.
Oracle ADF licenses are included in the WebLogic Server licenses (so if your customer has got WebLogic licenses and you are going to implement an ADF Faces application deployed on these WebLogic servers, then no separate ADF licenses will be necessary). But if you are going to use a different application server (e.g. IBM WebSphere), then your customer will need separate Oracle ADF licenses. However, your application is going to be an Intranet application used by a small number of fixed users, so your customer may avoid purchasing expensive "processor" licences but it may need only a small number of cheap NUP licenses (Named User Plus licenses). If you are going to implement a desktop ADF application (e.g. ADF Swing application), then your customer will need a corresponding number of NUP (Named User Plus) licenses for Oracle ADF.

Urgent: A Choice of Technology Question

Hi Guys,
I am facing this situation that is unique for me. I have to download objects from salesforce and save them on local disk, so that they can be uploaded again to new tables or as needed. Now for object serialization, I have to use XMLEncoder.
The problem is that there is data for hundreds of clients and total data for each client is well over 1MB. Plus, I have to select clients by name in my application when data is to be posted back in future. What path should I follow? Should I just save each client in a separate XML file or should I use an XML database? I think that XML database would be the right choice to save me all the data housekeeping, but I need an expert opinion.
Please give your explanation as to why you think I should prefer one choice over other. That would really help me make a rational choice.
Thanks for your time.

Technology Question for Droid Razr M

I have a Droid Razr M. Can I use it as a projector in a presentation? If so, what do I need for accessories?

"A Projector is designed to receive a video signal from some external device-usually a DVD player, a Blu-Ray player, or a computer-and project that signal onto a screen. It does this by displaying the image represented in the video signal onto a small screen inside the projector itself, which is then projected onto a screen using a bright light and a lens. The lens is a piece of glass shaped in a very specific way designed to take the small image and turn it into a dramatically larger one."
If you mean that you want to display something from your phone out to another source, then you would NEED a projector to do that. You have a phone. You could get an HDMI cable to send the output to a projector, or I am sure there are apps that will do that also through bluetooth or wifi somehow.

Wireless Technology question

My experience with wireless devices is almost close to nil, and I was just wondering, is there anything special that has to be done in order for a wireless device just to connect and view a web page in the internet?
For example, let's say www.boo999.com is a web site that has no preliminary preparations for access by a wireless device, would any wireless device be able to view that page (however ugly it might look through the tiny wireless screen)? Or is the downloading of a MIDlet the only way?
Thanks.

Hi,
You can use MIDlets which are capable of connecting to server and downloading a HTML page. MIDlet is just like an applet, if you use applet to connect to a server and download a HTML file and display , it will display with all the HTML tags but you can write logic to parse all the HTML tag and format the display.
Most of the devices have built in micro browser applications that can be used to view a web page.

Unkwon Card NC551i on installacion of vm server 2.2.1

first ,...Sorry my English is very bad!
I try install OracleVM-Server-2.2.1 on HP BL XXXX, two card NC551i dual port FlexFabric 10Gb port 1 and 2 iscsi, but when install unknow the cards, that step skips and it is going away to particionar the disc without requesting the data of the card, as if the card did not exist and finishes the installation. When in login only show the loopback , it supposes that deberia to recognize card from installation, that I already do it recognizes so that it, probe doing this:
modprobe bnx2x
ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.228 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
show error: SIOCSIFADDR : No such device
eth0: unknow interface: so such device
please help me
regards
Jose Alcantara

I never tried this in a real installation, but I previously had a discussion about the very same issue on this forum. You can find it here:
Re: Hp Blades - flex10 technology questions
Anyway, to the best of my knowledge I'd tell you that the only way to make this work is to get rid of the Virtual Connect modules, and put in plain Ethernet switches instead (gbe2c L2/L3 for c-class bladesystem).
Using a normal switch(es) as the front end, you'll loose the capability of creating FlexNICs on your NC551i card (embedded or mezzanine).
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, you'll see standard Broadcom NICs intead (2 on the embedded NC551i, and 2 on the Mezzanine, if present).
These cards will run on standard drivers (bnx or tg3, can't remember), and you'll be able to successfully complete your installation.
Finally you can connect the gbe2c switch(es) to your external Core Switches or directly to the firewalls.
You'll be also able to put up Linux Bonding and VLANs with this configuration.

I need to vent, ask questions and make suggestions all in one post. Get ready

Ok, I'm driving my little cousin home to babysit him for an hour or so when he asks me "can I play that fruit slicing game on your phone?" Now normally I would just say no and leave it at that, but he looked so innocent sitting in the backseat so I opened up Fruit Ninja and handed it to him. After a while I noticed that my phone went quiet and that he wasn't playing it anymore so I asked him what was wrong and he said it just cut off. So I take the phone from him and noticed that indeed it was off and was turning back on only on the screen it had the little android character and it said erasing with a loading bar at the bottom. My first reaction was to take the batter out in hopes that it would prevent the erasing but guess what? There's no battery to take out in a droid maxx, so all I could do was sit there and wait for it to delete all my stuff. When my phone finally did boot up the first thing it said was setup phone for first use and I'm like this isn't my first time using it!! But EVERYTHING was deleted, the only thing I was able to recover was some of my contacts. I even logged in my Google account but that didn't bring any of my pictures, music, or even the progress I made in my apps like Fruit Ninja back & I had all the blades!=(
My question is how did this happen? Why couldn't I stop it? I know my little cousin doesn't know how to factory reset my phone, did it do it by itself? Is there a way that I can get my stuff back?? Please help
I suggest there be an option to abort the factory reset just in case it happened by accident. Why are phone makers making built in batteries now? I feel like I could have saved myself this trouble if I was able to take the battery out
I'm so upset because ITS ALL GONE=|

Probably not much help here. Sorry you lost all your data. I have a game with about $1k invested so I would be wicked upset.
when I have let my kids play with my phone they have made in game purchases. not good. I had to quit letting them play it unsupervised. I have noticed that they don't read what they are pressing. and don't understand that the entire screen has buttons on it. like the home button or sometimes settings..... things pop up and all they want is back to their games. so they press and press.
as far as the removable battery goes as the phones get bigger memory, and more serious SnapDragon processors pulling the battery during memory dumps or changes could end the life of the phone. you could corrupt the memory. the days of pulling the battery for a simple reboot are going the way of the dodo.

How do I create a line that is established through two Point values?

I'm given a number of fields and methods that must be used to establish a line that crosses through two Point values. This is a bit confusing because Point is also a class in the API, so I'm not sure where to begin with the given attributes and operations I have at hand:
public Line (Point Start, Point End) {..}
public boolean isHorizontal() {...}
public boolean isVertical() {..}
public void move(int x, int y) {...}
public void display() {...}
private Point theStart;
private Point theEnd;

DSL line analysis

This is a rather technological question but do the engineers at verizon have the ability to analyze the DSL line for say the past 3-4 months to determine if in fact audio and video(increase packets of data---moreso than just telephone conversations) were transmitted over the line. Perhaps a verizon engineer could comment. Sort of like a forensic analysis of the DSL line for the past 3-4 months. Thanks ---Stanley

Hey stanley, we can do a reading on the network from now to 24hrs or 48hrs but we can't go back 3-4 months in the past to analyze your service.

Career and Succession Planning

Dear experts.
I am in the phase of BBP. We are working with ESS&MSS 1.41. ERP 6.0 ehp6.
My question:
What are the Business Package that I need for work with Career and Succession Planning in the portal?
What are the steps of customizing in the system ERP?
Who can share documentation with me?
Thanks

Dear Nidhi,
First of all, is this a technology question (Nakisa) or a functional question?
If you are new to Career and Succession Planning then you should be working with an experienced consultant, because implementing these modules require experience of business processes. This person can help you.
Without knowing your customer, their culture, their business challenges, their goals, their existing processes, and the technology being implemented then it is not possible to help you.
Best regards,
Luke

Migrating an existing application to Cocomo

We've developed a business application that uses a
synchronised data model, live webcams, recorded video, interactive
apps. We use Flex for the client, and FMS/.Net for the servers. We
currently put about 150 users per week through a 3-hour session
using the app, and we need to scale up rapidly as our expectation
is to double that in Q2 and double that again by year end. So it's
a mature and mission-critical app.
I can see that a port of this app is feasible using Cocomo,
but it would change our business model, deployment platform and
staffing needs, so I'd like to find out how we'd establish an
appropriate relationship with Adobe around the Cocomo product. I
have some basic technology questions around scaling and
capabilities, but beyond that my questions involve a better
understanding of Adobe's roadmap.
Colin Dixon

Hi Colin,
We'll try and answer your technology and roadmap questions
the best we can, but as you probably already know, as a corporate
policy, Adobe does not publicly disclose timing, dates, etc.
If you have specific questions regarding scaling, features,
etc. (such as the topic on recordings which was posted a little
while back), let us know.
Regards,
Fang
