ILO Virtual Media Manager, Arch and JVM

At work I need to mount isos with Virtual Media Manager that comes with HP iLO. It is recommended to use at least JVM 1.4.2 and I have the newest available versions of JRE and JDK installed. It shows the java icons for while, but it doesn't work.
I have tried downgrading to with abs but it still does not work - I have tested Java on other sites where it works fine. Anyone who has experienced a similar and problem and found a solution for it?
I am using Arch64 btw.
Thanks

So there is no one here who is working with HP servers using Arch Linux?
Could it be because iLO is incompatible with 64bit Java?

Media Manager - Connected and Not

Blackberry Desktop manager indicates that the device is connected, shows the pin in the lower left of the window.
However when I log into Media Manager it says "There is no device connected. Please connect your device to show its contents."
Screen of Curve shows "Connected to desktop" as well, so I'm a little confused as to what is wrong.

I have the Media Card Support enabled, but do not have an additional media card? Is this required? I thought there was some on-board memory that could be accessed in this way?
Once connected to the laptop, the phone does not show up as a drive or a mass-storage device, so maybe the meida card is required? Hmmmm....
DoubleHelix,
I just removed the memory chip and have the same results as you have found. Without the Micro SD chip, nothing appears to be able to access the BB memory for file transfers.

Virtual Connect Manager Status and Stacking Link Error

I have three C7000 Enclosures / chassis running on each environment, each chassis have a redundant VC (Flex-10 Enet) bay 1-2 and ( 8Gb 24-Port FC ) Bay3-4, everything seem working but there is a Domain status and stacking link errors "One or more of a domain's subsystems are not properly operating, causing serious impact to domain functions." and "Some VC-Enet modules are not properly connected via stacking links please verify stacking cable connections"

Sorry, but your question is far beyond the intended scope of the Global Consumer support forum. I suggest posting this to the HP Enterprise business forum.

Desktop Manager 5.0 and Roxio Media Manager hangup

Ok, I spent an hour researching posts on the forum, and not gettting anywhere.
Here is the specifics:
New Laptop with Windows XP-SP3
New Install of BB Desktop Manager 500_B28_Multilanguage
I use Sync to update my address book via Ascii one way.
Did that once. No Problem
Restarted my Laptop. Now I get Windows Installer looking for Roxio Media Manager.msi and now I can't get rid of it.
I hit cancel, and it comes back.
Only thing in Add/Remove programs is Desktop Manager 5.0 and Blackberry Media Sync
Try to remove either one and I get that "Installation in progress" message.
If there is a problem with 5.0 why is a newer version correcting it not out?
Several posts refer to doing a "Clean Uninstall" (KB02206) of Blackberry Desktop Software, Several posts refer to (KB19218) Windows Installer Cleanup.
Before I get started, Is there a real solution? If I do the Clean Uninstall and then again install 500_B28 am I going to hang everytime I start the computer while Installer looks for Roxio?
Would someone please help me.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Twas obivous that I was going to get NO HELP from RIM, so I called my IT Dept.
Here is what I did so far.
Open Task Manager.
In Applications, right click on RMM install process.
Left click on Go to Process.
This step puts you on ISUSPM.exe
Left Click on End Process.
Click OK.
Go back to Task Manager, select Processes
find misexec.exe
Left Click on End Process.
Click OK.
Go to Add / Remove programs
Uninstall Blackberry Desktop Manager
Uninstall using REMOVE all User settings
after 15 minutes, it finally removed RMM also
I ran Windows Install Cleanup Utility (290301)
verified no Roxio programs or BB programs were on the computer
and restarted.
So Far, So Good.
Now I have to decide if I want to put BBDM on with or WITHOUT the MM.

FYI Update Rollup 3 for Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 - Virtual Machine Manager (KB2965413) Stops SCVMM service starting

I just applied update:

and (KB2965414) but it failed to install.
After a reboot I could not login to the VMM and the service would not start

FYI. I've had the same issue after I installed Update Rollup 3 (KB2965413), seeing the exact same error on event log. Tried to start the service manually, getting service unable to start error. This is a machine running
with Windows Server 2012 Standard. Solution for me is simple. I just install
KB2965414 (Update Rollup 3 for SCVMM 2012 R2), reboot the server, and the SCVMM service auto start up by itself.

Roxio Media Manager Install Problem

I get the following error message when I try to run Roxio Media Manager from the Desktop Software:
"MediaManager9Module has stopped working correctly.  A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you when a solution is available."
I have done a lot of reading about this problem and most of the time users just tell the poster to use their Blackberry as a mass storage device. If they do that they won't need Roxio Media Manager. I want to use the Roxio because I have a lot of pictures and it's easier to upload them to the blackberry using Roxio - it utilizes a split screen with your computer pictures on top and your blackberry folders on the bottom... then as you browse through your pictures you just say "Copy down" and the picture goes to whatever folder you specify on the Blackberry. I just got a 4GB stick to hold all my photos so believe me the Roxio technique is far faster for me. I have successfully installed Roxio on my work computer a Dell XPS - it was a trial as well. I had to uninstall everything and completely remove all "Roxio" files including the registry. This did not work for the Acer though which is my home computer.  Right now the Acer has 4.5 installed (Roxio Media Manager did install) but when I try to click to access Roxio I get the above mentioned error message.
There are obviously a lot of people out there with this problem and no answer from Roxio or Blackberry (I called Blackberry who passed me off to Roxio who wanted me to PAY.) I also tried contacting Roxio via email from their Roxio website - they said contact Blackberry... thus I get the runaround. I just got this Blackberry (it cost me $432.) you would think something that expensive would come with software that... I don't know, works. And if i didn't they would offer some kind of tech help here.  Totally pathetic.
Hoping somebody has some insight....

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Uninstalling and deleting all folders/files and registry entries named, RIM, Research in Motion, Roxio and Sonic worked to get Roxio Media Manager successfully installed and running on my Dell. I had some “trial” version of Roxio on my computer that came with it when I bought it and when it expired it created problems when installing Roxio Medica manager.
That was not the problem and not the solution to get Roxio Media Manager installed and running on my Acer. I tried the above, but I kept getting error messages after restart upon installing Desktop Manager due to some Roxio problem (I just didn’t know what.) I would also get error messages when I tried to access Roxio from the Desktop Manager. When I installed Desktop Manager on the Dell I used “Run as administrator” for the install but I do not have to right click and hit “Run as Administrator” every time I launch that program on the Dell to get any feature of it to run correctly including Roxio. I do for the Acer – that was the problem… but it took some tweaking to get that to happen. When I right click and hit “Run as Administrator” on the Acer the Desktop Manager would launch and it was able to read my blackberry when I plugged it in off the main menu. But when I went to any other feature off the main menu, like Sync or Roxio, it would not read the Blackberry – in the top left corner of the program it went from “Connected” to “Disconnected.” It also crashed the program several times and I had to bring up the Task Manager to quit the program because it had become “non-responsive.” The only part of the Desktop manager (after trying repeatedly) that was able to still read the blackberry when I selected “Run as Administrator” was the “Add/Remove Applications” feature. After it starting “seeing” the Blackberry from the Applications part the program I was able to go into Sync, and Roxio with it still able to “see” the Blackberry. Then I was able to successfully run the Roxio part of the desktop manager.  Odd I know…
Both the Dell and the Acer run Vista Home Premium. There were 2 separate problems causing Roxio to not install or run correctly. Both problems should have been addressed by Blackberry or Roxio. As I mentioned, I just bought this Blackberry and it cost me $432 – I am still somewhat in shock that a product that expensive comes with software that is literally up to the user to figure out how to run. That there is no way to get Roxio or Blackberry to respond themselves with a fix for this common problem is unbelievable. That we the user have to spend hour after hour troubleshooting when we should be enjoying our new blackberry is pathetic. I feel like the company just said, “Here, you figure it out.” Nice, huh?
The Desktop Manager (including all its features) should be available to all Blackberry users… then each individual can make a knowledgeable decision as to which program, either Desktop Manager or using “Mass Storage Device” is the easiest or more efficient for them.
Hope this helps… just trying to pass along what worked for me…

Help! Do I need to use Media Manager to re-encode my AVI's so that the image is not so terrible?

I hired someone to take 16mm film and digitize it for me. He gave me AVI files, though I asked for MOV files. When I brought the AVI files into FCP, it said "use media manager to optimize this footage for FCP use." I (foolishly) didn't because I haven't had great success with Media Manager before, and the assets looked fine in FCP despite the warning. In truth, I am kindof intimidated by Media Manager... it's just not something I have ever had the opportunity to learn until now.
I have now edited the footage, exported from FCP in Quicktime MOV, imported into DVD Studio Pro, and burned a disk. PROBLEM: The image quality is terrible. I know it must have something to do with the warning I ignored. So now I'm looking at Media Manager and wondering how to proceed. I'm sure the warning told me what to do, but now that I can't see it again, I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with Media Manager... re-encode? After seeing poor quality images, re-encoding doesn't feel right... but maybe?
It's also possible that the problem isn't with the AVI's at all, but somewhere else. The DVD quality is poorer than the video playback in FCP, so somewhere along the line there was decay, and I'm assuming it was when FCP exported. I'm kindof freaking out. Any help would be great.
Also, my Compressor doesn't work anymore, so I'm screwed for using that.
Thanks,
RH

Much like the ubiquitous "QuickTime Movie" (.mov) file type, the AVI file type is merely a container. The audio and video streams within that container could be made from a number of different codecs.
Most AVI codecs don't work in FCP natively, which means you will have to render more often than if you had converted the footage first to a FCP friendly codec.
If the video looked good in FCP, but bad on a finished DVD, chances are the quality loss was during the encoding process. I assume you used DVD Studio Pro for encoding, since you say that Compressor doesn't work for you. I'd look into getting that problem solved and then use Compressor to handle the encoding and just use DVD Studio Pro for authoring and burning.

Media Manager MP3s don't play through HDMI

TV: LG 42LG20
Platform: HD DVR QIP 7216 I (media center DVR)
Release 1.60
Similar Post to mine: http://forums.verizon.com/vrzn/board/message?board.id=FiOS_TV&message.id=3754&query.id=39865#M3754
Symptoms / Troubleshooting:
1) No problems with pictures
2) MP3s, I thought after reading posts on this forum and speaking with Verizon tech support last week that I needed to have Media Player 11, which I upgraded to on two of my desktops, hard-wired running XP Home SP2. I also saw a post about registering some Windows codec drivers with the registry.
3) While on the phone this afternoon, we switched inputs from HDMI (one cable I bought for my week old TV, a second HDMI cable supplied graciously by the Verizon technician last Friday and I just switched to FIOS on 3/13) to RCA cables out the back of the STB, changed to AV1 and it worked like a champ!!
Next steps, to test out component cables so I don't have both HDMI and RCA between my DVR and TV and only need a COMP1 input, not both AV1 and HDMI.
In addition to the post above, has anybody else with this combination of DVR, Software Release, DVR model had similar symptoms and a resolution?
My neighbor showed me Media Manager last Friday and he has a Samsung 42" HD set with a media center DVR connected with just HDMI and does NOT need to swap inputs. He's fine with only HDMI. I haven't had a chance to sniff around his setup and gather the details that I have with mine just yet, but plan to. Basically he just ran the Media Manager setup and ran it from his TV with no issue.
I know that the picture difference isn't supposed to be very different between HDMI and Component, but I guess there's a principle that HDMI is the "latest and greatest", why is this combination of technology a struggle and why should a paying customer have to compromise or settle?
Thank You

IPad and Media Manager Issues

I just installed the Verizon Media Manager App on my iPad and it will not pull anything from my pc. It keeps telling me to register. It lets me sign in with my id, lets me bookmark things, but I cannot pull media from my PC. It is very frustrating. Want to be able to view flex view stuff for the kids while on the road and cannot. Also cannot find the fios on demand app in the App store. Please help. The other app that is not working at all is the MY VZ account app. I cannot check bills, pay bills, check email or anything you should be able to do with it. If the app's are buggy, pull them. Please advise with any solutions.

Here's the master page for all of Verizon's apps. Right now only the Media Manager app is available for iPad.
In order to view your personal media, it must first be uploaded to your FlexView Library. This can be done using the Media Manager application on your PC or Mac.
The Media Manager iPad app also allows you to stream Flex View movies and TV shows you have purchased from Verizon, whether you bought it on your set-top-box, PC or phone. In other words, it also serves as the FiOS On Demand app.

Verizon Media Manager and Aperture

I just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture. Verizon Media Manager (VMM) sort of recognizes Aperture, but not completely. It finds the Faces and Locations, but not the Projects. I am using version 9.1.42 of VMM. I saw in the pinned section that someone was using version 9.2. Where can I get this version?

Yes there is but it says that the update service is temporarily disabled.
Here is the link for the Mac download from Verizon: http://www36.verizon.com/fiostv/web/UnProtected/MediaManager.aspx?os=Mac. It is likely the current version.

Media Manager and Subclips

Hello,
Seem to be having a slight issue with media manager. I broke a master clip up into 5 subclips. I tried to use media manager to create 5 new media files from these subclips (which should result in the subclips becoming their own master clips), thus allowing me to delete the original master clip. FCP did create the 5 new media files based on the subclips, but the subclips in the FCP browser are still using the original master file as their reference. I then have to manually reconnect the subclips to their new media files. I assumed media manager would do this step automatically. Am I wrong in assuming this?
It seems to me that I've used Media Manager in this fashion before, but can't seem to figure out what I'm missing this time around.

Well, the original subclips will not relink to the new media. NEW clips should have been created....and if you chose MAKE A NEW PROJECT they will be in that project. Just open that project and bring them over to this new one. If they weren't made into a new project, they should have appeared in this one. if not, just go to the FINDER and find the clips and import those into FCP.

Media manager and EXIF rotation data

My parents have FiOS and I recently helped them setup the Media Manager software so that they can view their pictures on the TV. It works great, except for images that have been taken with the camera rotated. Most other applications (Picasa, Canon ZoomBrowser, etc) are able to read the EXIF and rotate the image accordingly. What is Verizon's timeframe for implementing this fairly basic feature into Media Manager? If it is there, I apologize, and please let me know where it is - I was unable to find it.

When you say rotate the photos using media manager, I assume you mean the PC component? I suppose I could do that, but that's really annoying (like you said). Also, the problem is that then I believe that wouldn't they show up rotated wrongly in all of the other software (zoombrowser, picasa, etc) that does support the exif data for 'this side up' ?
When you say you don't use it anymore, have you found another solution that can export photos to the Home Media DVR? That's what my parents really want - the actual PC software, they'd prefer to use Picasa etc as that's what they're already used to.

Media Manager and .motn files

Hi all,
I am having a strange problem....I have Media Managed a number of projects, and they have .motn files (either media that was on the timeline, sent to Motion, modified, then saved, OR, I used a Master Template in FCP that I made in Motion). When I open the MM'd project on my computer everything is fine, but on a different computer, FCP cannot find the .motn file. I assume it is because the template or associated files are on my system, but I would hope that Media Manager would create a .mov from that .motn file so it can open on a different system. Does anyone have any experience with this issue?
Thanks,
Dave

Great explanations, but I want to make sure my workflow is sound before tossing something. Given that this is an integrated suite, I'm not too comfortable needing to do the following, so please correct me if I am wrong, or share the better way. After I Media Mange my Final Cut project, I need to:
1) create a new folder called "media" inside the "media" folder Media Manager created.
2) drag and drop the motion media from the media folder(s) created with "Copy to Folder" (explained above) into the media folder I just created.
Question: Is my assumption correct that I do not need to drag and drop things like "wisp04," "basic blur" or "texture 01"? If so, why on earth are they included?
If this is the workflow, I shutter to think how many people have lost media files because they assumed incorrectly everything was being collected via FCP Media Manager. Is there a step-by-step somewhere that you can point me to? Bonus questions: Can you speculate the reason or advantage of doing it this way? Do you think Apple should improve it? Thanks!
