Linux 1Z0-100 (OCA) and 1Z0-105 (OCP) beta

I think to take beta OCA 1Z0-100. I worked several years with Linux, but my know how not up2date (6 years break). Are there any objectives or example questions? Is the exams comparable with OCA Solaris (the same simple?)?
Second question: will there be an official study guide for OCP Linux?

There is a list of exam topics on the website. Regarding an official study guide - Oracle Certification typically does not produce study guides. You can have a look at the Oracle Press site to see if they have anything on Linux 6. It is probably still too early to know if they will develop a study guide for this particular exam.

Question about oca and Ocp 10 g dba

Hi all
I want to prepare DBA 10g exam, OCA and ocp .
Can I provide exam 1z0-007 instead of 1z0-051 ?
Thx alot

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to be gathering from that article except that it is obsolete. It's from About.com, not Oracle.com and so is not definitive (and even Oracle's website occasionally has errors). In five minutes I could get you ten articles from the Web about Oracle 8i certifications, and they've been retired for years.
How about this for a definitive link. It's from the Oracle site and specifically notes that 1Z0-007 retired on July 31, 2013.

OCA and OCP Post-nominal letters

Hi All,
I recently passed OCA and OCP for Java 7. I was wondering if there is an official industry accepted standard to place these qualifications after your name.
I saw Bert Bates, co-author of the Java 7 study guide, placed:
Bert Bates OCA OCP.
Is this convention authorised by Oracle or do we have to specify the product and version that the certification was given to. If the latter is the case, what would be the official post-nominal letters for OCA and OCP for Java 7.
Thanks.

There is no defined standard that I am aware of for that. Certainly none shows in Certview or is easily locatable in the FAQ.
There are standards for displaying the logos -- mainly about the size and color:

Regarding OCA and OCP certification

I have a Master's degree in computer science and i know the basics of sql and pl/sql and right now i am going to train up on pl/sql. I want to start a career as pl/sql developer and if we do certification it can be some added advantage so i am thinking of that and i am in a confusion some are saying OCA and some are saying OCP and i heard that OCA is for developers and OCP is for DBA's

Don't start a second thread for the same thing. Stick to your original thread...

Hi,
Get the OCA and OCP certification books. Look on Amazon for them. I used them and passed first time without any issues. All of the material, plus some on the job knowledge, and you will get it done easily. Using other people's notes is most likely going to be unreliable compared to using an official exam book to be honest.

Regarding 11g OCA and OCP exams

Hi,
I have 10g OCA. Now i am planning to write 11g OCA and OCP. Do i need to write 11g OCA or can i upgrade my 10g OCA to 11g.
Can any one please let me know how to prepare for 11g OCA and OCP. any web links or any text books do i need to follow in order to get good score in both certifications

There is no upgrade path for the OCA certification. You'd need to take the 11g OCA exams. Assuming we're talking about the DBA track (there are many different tracks), you should have passed one of the SQL exams when you got your 10g OCA so you probably only need to take one more exam for the 11g OCA.
All of Oracle's documentation is online at http://tahiti.oracle.com. You should be able to find more than enough information about all the exam topics there.

What is difference bwtween OCP,OCA, and OCM?

what is difference bwtween OCP,OCA, and OCM?
which is the highest level in the same database version?
Thanks

Oracle Certified Master (OCM) is the highest level Oracle certification. The OCM requires an OCP as well as hands on test and Oracle training requirements.
Oracle Certified Professional (OCP) is the next highest. OCP requires two or more tests and an Oracle training requirement.
Oracle Certified Associate is the entry level certification. Requires two or more tests and no Oracle training requirement.

Linux on my X220T (and why it failed)

I’m sorry but this is going to be a long post but I have seen so many posts out there from people in my position - making an attempt to migrate from Windows to Linux - that I felt compelled to share my experiences. This is not a Linux bashing post either. Like UFOs, I want to believe. I just haven’t seen the light yet so if there are any Linux evangelists out there who have got Linux working on their X220T then I would *love* to hear from you
Background and reasons for change:
I am not your ordinary Windows user. I work in IT and I’ve been working with Windows since the days of v2 (yes I’m that old) running on Dos. I’m comfortable with it. Because of my age I’m also comfortable with the command line. I’ve worked with Xenix (a variant of the original Unix) and have a grasp of the fundamentals. Now I’m all grown up and an IT consultant I wanted to ‘round out’ my understanding of my business by getting to grips with Linux in order to write code. I understand it’s very different to the nice little bubble of Visual Studio where everything happens around you. I’ve yet to find out Sure I can produce a virtual machine and learn in there but wanted to immerse myself in it all so decided to convert my X220T. This little beauty is not my main work computer so I could sacrifice the contents. If your X220T is your only machine and you need it for serious stuff, think carefully before going ahead.
Starting point:
My X220T was pretty much out-of-the-box Windows 7. It was working fine, but had the odd glitch. Wouldn’t hibernate properly (although it did before an ‘upgrade’ screwed it up) and the mouse kept losing its settings despite following all the advice, upgrading, hacking etc to fix it. I also had Windows 8 preview on the ‘Q’ drive and was liking that but of course it’s not really ready to go yet.
My choice was Linux Mint with the KDE desktop. Did a bit of digging. Seemed to do the job. So I took several backups, trashed the drive and installed it.
My previous experiences with Linux have always been a battle to get the OS to see certain devices. Wireless cards never used to work. Peripherals failing. Not resuming from hibernate. That kind of thing. This time it was flawless. It simply installed. Everything appeared to work! Fantastic!! Of course it wasn’t all there yet. But because my internet access was up and running (had always been an issue before) I was a happy man.
Then three things happened almost simultaneously.
I wanted to read an eBook and the screen wouldn’t rotate
I couldn’t log on using my fingerprint reader
My fan wouldn’t shut up
So thought I would tackle the first issue. KDE supports a tool that pops a nice little icon on to your task bar to allow screen rotation. Didn’t work. What it did do was install the Wacom drivers to manage the touch screen and it would re-orientate the mouse ‘as if’ the screen had rotated, but the display itself was in portrait mode. So spent two evenings after work working out how to make this happen. In the end I wrote two shell scripts to rotate the screen AND to set the Wacom drivers to orientate the mouse and stylus properly. Job done! Felt pleased with myself. I was cross that the KDE interface screen button thingy didn’t work properly but that’s life. I had learned something. Two dos-like icons on my task bar flipped my screen (albeit slowly) from landscape to portrait and back again.
Meanwhile, I’m sitting in my conservatory (no power) and watching my battery disappear in about two hours. Under windows, my usage pattern gave me at least five hours before a re-charge. And that pesky fan didn’t run once! Peace!! But not with Linux. It was annoying so thought I would tackle that next. Everyone uses their machine differently so since power consumption is quite subjective I thought if I fixed this I could move on to other things and then ‘suddenly notice’ that my battery is still powering my baby after four or five hours.
After research and digging into a cpu frequency daemon (background process) I realised that this was the wrong line of attack. That took another two evenings of work. The Linux Mint kernel doesn’t support this. More research suggested that this was an old/different methodology and the approach was to use cpu ‘governers’ to control cpu frequency switching. The governers have names like ‘ondemand’ and ‘conservative’ and as you might guess, the conservative one holds the processor speed down to reduce power consumption. You may assume dear reader that I had done all the other stuff. Turning off bluetooth only happened in software and I gave up before researching that. It may be possible to turn it off in hardware via the operating system but didn’t get that far. Screen brightness, wireless etc. Typically when I read a book I flick the hardware radio-off switch on the side which of course turns off bluetooth and wireless, so they were taken out of the equation in terms of power consumption.
After another evening of digging I managed to discover how to instruct the machine to use the ‘conservative’ governor. By now I’m starting to get a bit fed up. My philosophy was partly to learn what it was like to live in the world of Linux, but mostly to get to grips with the C++ compilers, possibly mono (A windows-like development environment) and Apache (system for hosting web sites) but hadn’t got beyond the foibles of the operating system. Finally got the conservative governor in place, rotated my screen (still working!) and settled down to a good read (purely for testing purposes of course
Within five minutes, on the came the pesky fan. Battery gone in about three hours. This had me seriously pissed off by now. But still wanted to battle on. Thought I would tackle the fingerprint reader next. Found a driver but it didn’t work. I could register a fingerprint but when it came to save the results it died. Even as the godlike super user it failed.
Then I found another gui based app and that one worked. Well, it worked nicely in-system. Anything that needed elevated privileges it would work for. I just couldn’t use it to log in. When the laptop was in tablet mode I couldn’t authenticate with my fingerprint reader and there was no on-screen keyboard to use as an alternative.
And it was all these little things that eventually drove me screaming back towards Windows. I’m now running Windows 8 CP as my main desktop. It’s incomplete and has its own set of foibles, but by installing some of the drivers that Lenovo supply for Windows 7 it is perfectly usable.
The screen rotates out of the box
The buttons along the bottom of the screen work to rotate the screen (never did get that working in Linux but it was on my list
Power consumption is back to being pretty good for a laptop rather than just average
I can turn my bluetooth off at the hardware level but leave my wireless running so that I can browse the internet without hammering my battery too much (using the Lenovo on-screen utility form Windows7)
I can logon with my fingerprint reader and when it fails (I get it wrong three times) I can revert to an on-screen keyboard to get me out of trouble without having to switch to desktop mode to do it.
I know they are small things but they are now what I am used to and what I expect from my operating system so why should I do without them?
My feeling as I sit here writing is that Linux is great. Don’t get me wrong here. I still love it and intend to explore further, but unlike Windows there is a learning curve that you HAVE to climb. You have no choice. When I come home at the end of the day, sure I want to play with my little Lenovo and have some fun. But then I want to relax. Do a bit of surfing, read my ebooks and generally do stuff that the operating system is intended to support. Instead the operating system got in the way of my user experience rather than supporting my user experience. The problem for me is that wihlst I can produce a Linux machine in vmWare or VirtualBox, the driver woes I’ve just described are hidden from you because those virtual worlds either abstract the problem away or don’t port-over the hardware from the host that you want to explore the problems with. The only solution is to buy another X220T to play with and that’s not worth it for me.
I also think that my relatively large understanding of Windows frustrates my experience of because I am now a novice with the computer which I’m definitely not used to and that of course skews my perception.
So if there are any Linux superheroes out there who have solved all the above issues and can lead me into the glorious sunshine of developing in the wonderful world of Linux then please talk to me. And for the rest of you guys in my position for whom this has struck a chord, if you want to play, I’m sure the results are worth it but prepare to be frustrated!!

Hi all. I must be in league with the devil as my lucky number is 13. When I saw Galloping Gerbil or Raring Rhinocerous or whatever the **bleep** thing is called I also saw v13.04 and thought that the time had come to go again!
So it's about a year on now. Two important things have happened. The first is that my trusty old X220T is now no longer my primary machine so I can afford to lose it to experimentation for a while. The second is that the huge behemoth that is Linux is rolling over the bugs and niggles that sent me screaming back to Windows all those months ago.
So I've tried again with Raring Ringtail v13.04 and right now I feel as if I've come home! It's still not right but it's pretty close! More importantly, I fee that I'm no longer in the minority in wanting to get this to work right. There is this big push out there towards touch screen so people are spending time on this and wanting their software to be touch screen friendly so it is!
Before I go on, I was rather shocked when I did my pre-13.040-install research to find this post top of the google list on linux on x220! I'm guessing that my thoughts must parallel a lot of other people thinking about making the jump. So to that end, here's some thinking.
13.04 is close. Really close to being a very serious competitor to Windows. My view is that Linux is about there now. The X220T is a complex beast to support. it has touch, pen, fingerprint readers, rotating screens etc. And it all works pretty well. I can do a sudo apt-get install to make the fingerprint reader work. And it DOES work. Reliably. I still have issues rotating the screen but I've learned enough now to knock up a simple bash script that will do it for me. AND (this is where the Linux philosophy works) I have written the script to suit me. I like to hold the battery unit in my left hand and hold my laptop in portrait mode to read books/browse the internet. Then switch to normal orientation to type emails etc. The script only toggles between normal and anti-clockwise and back again. Works for me.
The issue with Linux was more that it was a philosophy than an operating system. You don't just "use" it. You immerse yourself in it. That made it geeky and non mainstream. You can make it sit up and do stuff that suited you exactly if you were prepared to put the time in. The issue was that until now it didn't do the basics reliably enough to suit everyone. I used to read a lot of stories about sons/friends putting Linux on to Mums/Dads/Grans laptop and it working beautifully. Linux is very very good at this. It just works. But getting it there was a right pain unless you were lucky. Now however that out-of-the-box functionality is really really close. To the point at which Tracey from Essex (forgive me Tracey!) can stick the CD in and expect the same functionality from Linux that she could get from Windows without having to sweet talk that geeky bloke that she knows has a crush on her to come in and sort it all out
Once you get past that bit then you end up in this little wonderful world. Without too much effort courtesy of all those hard-working ordinary people out there, I have a machine that will do most of what I want without tweaks and pokes that take days to research. Now I can browse, read my books, play the odd game and "ignore" the operating system until such times as I choose to tackle the odd tweak. On my relatively small screen for example I want hide the Unity launch bar thingy. However if I do this I can't get it back via the touch interface. Enter Ginn! I have yet to play with tihs but I can configure multi-touch gestures to "do stuff" like making the launcher appear with two finger gestures (!) and that little nugget of configuration pleasure is waiting in the wings for when I get bored reading the news or playing silly games. My operating system has now become a toy, a tool and a learning centre. I can now pursue my long term dream (okay I have modest dreams!) of being able to develop AJAX based web sites using WCF in Mono running under Apache. That means I have all the fun of learning how to use Apache, and working out how to make WCF code in Mono. These things are easy for me under Windows and IIS but how you do it in Linux is a new and exciting challenge! Yes I truly am that boring!
I wish I could change the title of my original post because Linux is coming of age. Windows had better watch out.

WLC 7.4.100.60 and roaming problems on 8500

Hello,
After installing an 8500 controller on 7.4.100.60 and migrating 1000 APs do this controller, we have the following problems:
[1] clients get disconnected and loose sessions (note: client is mobile gun and is heavily mobile). I have the impression there are more coverage holes. This might be due to bug CSCue13108, but says fixed in 7.4.100.60, we wil be upgrading to 7.4.110.0 anyway shortly.
[2] we have lots of L3 roaming problems between clients, especially when clients roam between old WISM controller and new 8500 controller. They don't roam, they get disconnected and reconnected, resulting in ip address change, resulting in sessions loss. Old controller still runs 7.0.230.0 but compatibility matrix says these two versions are L3 roaming compatible.
However, the release notes of 8500 mention this: "Cisco 8500 Series Controller cannot be configured as a guest anchor controller. However, it can be configured as a foreign controller to tunnel guest traffic to a guest anchor controller in a DMZ"
Because Layer 3 roaming is similar to guest traffic tunneling, does this mean that the 8500 can be the initiator of a L3 roam tunnel, but cannot be the endpoint of a L3 roam tunnel ?
We have done a test that seems to confirm this: client starts on 8500 in state "local", goes to AP on old controller (7.0.230.0), but roam doesn't work. Client gets re-associated with ip address change. Then when moving back to the 8500 controller, the client does roam successfully, keeps its ip address in the 7.0.230.0 vlan and gets status "foreign" on 8500 controller. controllers are in same mobility group and mobility connections are all up.
In the 7.5 release notes, this limitation is not mentioned anymore. Does it mean it is solved and 8500 can be used as guest anchor controller in 7.5 ??
regards,
Geert

Old controller still runs 7.0.230.0 but compatibility matrix says these two versions are L3 roaming compatible.
Roaming from one AP to another that shares the same controller is totally different with inter-controller roaming, which you have now. I believe WiSM-1 has 180 ms compared to the 90 ms on a 5508. And this time difference means alot.
So when your client goes from one controller to another, they actually have to do a full re-authentication to the new controller.
I presume both the old and new controller are in the same Mobility Group?
However, the release notes of 8500 mention this: "Cisco 8500 Series Controller cannot be configured as a guest anchor controller. However, it can be configured as a foreign controller to tunnel guest traffic to a guest anchor controller in a DMZ"
Pffft! That'll be the most expensive Guest Anchor Controller if I follow this solution.
