HP Management Pack - why would a rule be used for a network card error?

Hi,
I am asking this question with regard to the HP proliant management pack but my question is about the more general "rule" v "monitor" question which generally I understand (I think).
We get alerts for HP network card failures. This is rule based and basically looks for event "2" in the event logs. The same thing happens though if a cable gets pulled or a switch fails for a few seconds for instance.
The question I am getting asked by admins is to override this as its a "false alarm". I have pointed out people shouldnt just pull a network cable (maintenance mode please!) and if switches are failing then use the SCOM alert to let the network
team know... Plus if the card genuinly does fail this is the alert. BUT they are asking why isnt this a monitor anyway? If the network card is OK I think event 4 gets logged. So why didnt HP write it as a monitor that would close when it sees the success event?
My main thinking was if they had you wouldnt get to know about intermitant faults that dont last long. For instance the card would be down for 30 seconds but the monitor would close as soon as it was back up and you wouldnt see it.
Any thoughts?
thanks

My guess is because they have tools that compete with MSFT and do not sell their MP's. So now they have to have one of their own FTE's creating a management pack for a competing product to monitor their hardware. If it worked better than HP Openview,
then maybe more people would switch to Openview and dump SCOM...
Honestly it comes down to resources, and the fact, similar to MSFT management packs, they are FREE, so how can you justify spending all the time and resources to create something and then give it away for free? You can't, so you speed through it, and
drop it to the public, let them find the issues, and stress test it, etc. (not a fact, just my honest opinion after working with this product for over 13 years). MSFT is guilty of this as well, they have had their fair share of problem management
packs...but they are FREE.

Why would a commercial printer ask for Illustrator native files instead of InDesign files?

Why would a commercial printer ask for Illustrator native files instead of InDesign files?
For example, We create 32 hang tags for the same brand. Each hang tag looks identical except for a color bar calling out the different fits. We set the files up in InDesign with a Master Page congaing all the similar artwork. This process saves us a lot of time when making changes to the entire package of hang tags. So my question is... why can't the printer use InDesign. They are saying they convert our InDesign files to Illustrator before printing.

A printer who insists on native files but can't take InDesign is not properly equipped. It suggests they haven't updated their capabilities in 15 years.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

Why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock?

Hi all,
As I'm endeavoring to further my knowledge on the Mac, I'm curious as to know if I'm losing out on not using the mail icon on my dock.
Any particular reason I should use it? I currently use yahoo and gmail. I think they're considered IMAP technology and I can access it anywhere any anyhow as long as I have access to the web. I also use my iphone to access it.
So... why would I want to use the mail icon on my dock? Are the reasons going to be for the characteristics for POP? I.E, can off load mail to my Mac and read later without having live access to web?
BTW, if I did want to setup mail on the dock. What is the incoming and outgoing mail server for yahoo? Sorry, could locate that info. in yahoo mail.
Thanks in advance.

I think you are asking why you should use the Mail application versus using "web mail" through a web browser, and not just about the Mail icon on the Dock, is that correct?
You should use whatever is more convenient.
Mail is a standalone application designed for email access, so it is more responsive and has more features. Web-based apps are getting much better, but you can still tell you are in a web browser. You can work off-line, even if you use an IMAP service (such as MobileMe). You can save emails locally, even if most emails are on the server, and if it's POP, all your messages are downloaded to a local database (that may or may not be an advantage to you).
Mail is integrated with Address Book and iCal (and other Apple apps). You can use Time Machine to recover individual deleted emails, just like you would recover deleted files or folders (using the +flying through space+ interface).

Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!! I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
AT&T = upgrade fee
Sprint = upgrade fee
T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
Good luck with the new provider.

Apple store gift cards and iTunes gift cards are not interchangeble. They have to be used for the store in which they were purchased.

Why would anyone want to use ASM Clustered File system?

DB Version: 11gR2
OS : Solaris, AIX, HP-UX
I've read about the new feature ACFS.
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/ACFS_11gR2.php
But why would anyone want to store database binaries in a separate Filesystem created by Oracle?

Hi Vitamind,
how do these binaries interact with the CPU when they want something to be done?
ACFS should work with Local OS (Solaris) to communicate with the CPU . Isn't this kind of double work?ACFS dont work with .... but provide filesystem to Local S.O
There may be extra work, but that's because there are more resources that a common filesystem.
Oracle ACFS executes on operating system platforms as a native file system technology supporting native operating system file system application programming interfaces (APIs).
ACFS is a general purpose POSIX compliant cluster file system. Being POSIX compliant, all operating system utilities we use with ext3 and other file systems can also be used with Oracle ACFS given it belongs to the same family of related standards.
ACFS Driver Model
An Oracle ACFS file system is installed as a dynamically loadable vendor operating system (OS) file system driver and tool set that is developed for each supported operating system platform. The driver is implemented as a Virtual File System (VFS) and processes all file and directory operations directed to a specific file system.
It makes sense you use the ACFS if you use some of the features below:
• Oracle RAC / RAC ONE NODE
• Oracle ACFS Snapshots
• Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager
• Cluster Filesystem for regular files
ACFS Use Cases
• Shared Oracle DB home
• Other “file system” data
• External tables, data loads, data extracts
• BFILES and other data customer chooses not to store in db
• Log files (consolidates access)
• Test environments
• Copy back a previous snapshot after testing
• Backups
• Snapshot file system for point-intime backups
• General purpose local or cluster file system
• Leverage ASM manageability
Note : Oracle ACFS file systems cannot be used for an Oracle base directory or an Oracle grid infrastructure home that contains the software for Oracle Clusterware, Oracle ASM, Oracle ACFS, and Oracle ADVM components.

You have a Radio Shack Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter or a Radio Shack HDMI-HDMI cable? Both, I'll assume.
You should have the Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plugged into the Thunderbolt port on your MBP. Then the HDMI-HDMI cable plugs into that adapter and into an available HDMI input on the TV, and the TV should have that input source selected.
Does that sound like the way you have things set up?
HDMI cables should all have similar function. Some users have reported problems with some brands of Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter.

Why would I need to use LiveCycle Data Services in a Flex app?

I cannot figure out what additional functionality is provided by using LiveCycle Data Services in my Flex apps. I cannot get a clear understanding of how using LiveCycle Data Services would benefit my applications. Does someone out there use LiveCycle Data Services? If so, what do you do with it in Flex?
Thanks!

- data push for publish/subscribe implementations
User has to do nothing to get updated information. You push it to their machine when new data is available, like Yahoo finance updated quotes.
- data paging
You don't want to display one million rows in your datagrid at once. Get a batch of data, if the user scrolls down, get the next batch, etc.
- server side clustering
One server does not get overloaded. High traffic sites have their large number of concurrent connections managed more efficiently.
- JMS services
JMS is a powerful technology for messaging throughout an application, and LCDS makes it much easier.
- RTMP tunneling
Allows the use of the RTMP protocol in LiveCycle Data Services applications. Makes it easier to traverse firewalls and proxies appropriately that currently prevent direct RTMP client connections to the server.

HT4906 Why would a pro photographer use the latest iPhoto and Photo Stream?

I don't use Aperture. The upgrade to the latest and greatest iPhoto is a reasonable cost, but I have heard complaints about it all.
Thank you!
Diane

No and No.
iPhoto is not good with Referenced libraries, and so will hardly scale to the volume of images a pro is likely to have. It also has comsumer level tools for processing.
As for complaints: do you mean at the App store etc? If so those reviews aren't worth the paper they're not written on.
The problems with them are manifold: for a start, happy people are less likely to review, unhappy happy are much more inclined to. That's why we don't have thousands and thousands of posts on this forum from all the people who have no problems saying "look I have no problems". Unhappy people get cross and are more likely to express that anger in negative reviews.
Then what about the reviewer? What is his or her knowledge, experience and skill level? No doubt they are having problems, and real ones, but how do you know if their issues are problems with the app, their own inexperience, third party conflicts and so on. I've seen people on here claim the fact that iPhoto won't edit video is a bug. I've seen hundreds and hundreds of posts from folks on here who are certain they've found a bug, only for their glitch to be resolved. No review is worth anything unless you know something of the reviewer, his or her knowledge and experience.
So frankly, I never bother with those reviews on any such stores, not just iPhoto on the Mac App Store.

Why would a Standard Projector call for Shockwave

I have 30 titles authored in Director and updated to Dir. 10.5.9. I have both Mac and Windows versions. In 20 yrs. I have never put any shockwave content into any of these programs. Yet, suddenly, I shipped CDs to two Mac customers who both have the same problem.
I included Standard projectors in all the CDs, tested them on our Snow Leopard, Lion, and Mountain Lion. Both customers have either Lion or Mountain lion on their Macs. Yet, when they loaded the programs and double clicked on the projector, an error message came up saying the program was unable to find Shockwave. ??? That has not happened in 20 years of selling and upgrading these programs. And it still isn't happening on our Macs with the same OS. Yet two of our latest customers both have that problem.
Even more mysterious is that one of the customers downloaded Shockwave 12 and it wouldn't work, so she found a place to download Shockwave 11 and her programs startted working. Yet, theyi are not shockwave programs or projectors. They shouldn't need Shockwave at all.
Has anyone ever heard of that happening before? Can someone offer some suggestions of what I might try to fix it? Since there is no shockwave content in the programs or the projectors, I don't even know where to start.
Thanks in advance for anything that anyone might be able to offer.
Dewey

Hello Dewey,
I’ve been having the same problems here, and it’s difficult to fix, as I can’t duplicate the problem on any of my development Macs.
My Mac programs work (working on many different computers) they are not corrupt – but on some of my clients Macs they kick off this strage ‘download shockwave’ bug…
This needs more testing!!!!
If you are embedding your xtras inside the projector – this might help.
Try removing all embedded xtras?
Under the publish setting – EXCLUDE ALL XTRAS
Place all the xtras in an ‘Xtras’ folder inside the programs root folder. (like in the old days)
Although I have had this fix the issue on some of my customers computers - it has not fixed it for all?
I’m only guessing here, but maybe this is caused by ‘Gatekeeper’ or another restricted user setting that I have not been able to find???
I have seen corrupt projectors ask to download shockwave before – both on windows and Mac – from as far back as D7. It seems to be some crazy last ditch effort to access the xtras needed to make the program work????
Some of the xtras bomb out in the temp folder, (maybe they don’t work anymore, or maybe they are being blocked by gatekeeper etc..) so the projector goes looking for them in the shockwave folder – it can’t find them all, so it asks to download shockwave – but downloading shockwave 12 does not find the right xtras – so the projector gets stuck and asks the download shockwave again – but if the projector was able to download shockwave 11 then the projector finds the right (missing) xtras and works.
Director help file says :-
“Xtra extensions stored in a projector must be uncompressed to a separate file each time the projector starts up, which makes startup slower. If the Xtra extensions are stored in an external directory, the projector starts more quickly”
These separate uncompressed xtars get placed into the apples temp folder somewhere – and this is where I believe the problem starts.
Also something that might be related -
I have also been having problems with the embedded fonts - which also end up in the same temp folder.
I have to test that all the fonts are active before I continue running the program – if they are not all active I restart the program again and again – sometimes up to 5 restarts before all the fonts work?
All quite crazy.
I hope this helps a little bit - I also would really love to know how to fix this crazy problem.
Milky.
