Management IP Address : best practices ?

Hi,
What are the advantages to assign the mgmt IP @ to service profil rather to blade server ?
Can we do the both ?... and in what puropose ?
what are the best practices for specific use ?
many thx in advance for you feedback.
Nicolas.

The ability to assign the IP address to the SP was done at the request of users. This allows the KVM IP adddress to follow the SP (and OS associated with that SP). Customers wanted to know that KVM IP was also associated with there OS.
The IP associated to the blade can be used at any time for a KVM session. An IP address associated with the SP can only be used while the SP is associated with a blade.
Both can be used. I dont believe there is a best practice for their assignment.
Thank You,

CAS array internal DNS IP address best practice

Hi, Just a question about a best practice approach for DNS and CAS arrays.
I have an Exchange 2010 Org. I have two CAS/HUB servers and two MBX servers. My external DNS (mail.mycompany.biz) host record points to a public IP address which is NAT'd to the internal IP address of my NLB CAS cluster. I maintain a split brain
DNS. Should the internal DNS entry for mail.mycompany.biz also point to the public IP address or should it point to the internal IP address of the NLB cluster?

A few comments:
The reason you have split DNS is to do exactly these sort of things: inside users hit the inside IP and outside users hit the outside IP. You'll have to look at your overall network design to see if it makes sense for users to take this shortest route
to the services, or if there is value in knowing all users simply take the same path.
You should not be using the same DNS name for your web services (e.g. OWA) as you are for your CAS array. This can cause very long connection delays on Outlook clients, not to mention overall confusion in your design. Many orgs will use something
like "outlook.domain.com" for the Client Access Array and "mail.domain.com" for the web services. Only the later of these two need to be exposed to the internet.
Keep in mind, Exchange 2013 dramatically changes this guidance. There is no more CAS array, and the
recommended design is to use dedicated namespaces for each web service.

Hyper-V Static MAC Address Best Practice

Hi guys,
Looking for some advice please..
We have several VM's running within a 6 node cluster that run an application which keeps losing it's license whenever the LAN MAC changes i.e. when the VM moves to a new node.
The obvious solution is to set these VM's with a STATIC MAC address however I have a few questions.
1. Is there a 'private' range I can use to ensure that we never see any conflicts?
2. What's the best way to implement this change? simply power off each machine and manually edit the settings or can I use SCVMM?
3. Will the VM's lose there current network card settings? static ip etc?
4. Will VM's set with a static MAC still fail over to other nodes?
Many thanks for your help
Robbie

For an answer you're much better off posting in the Hyper-V forum here:

OWB Change Management/Version Control Best Practice

Hi
I am about to start developing a data warehouse using OWB 10g R2, and I've been doing quite a lot of research into the various deployment/change management/version control techniques that can be used, but am still unsure which is the best to use.
We will have 2-3 developers working on the project, and will be deploying from Development, to Test, to Production (each will have a separate repository). We want to be able to easily identify changes made between 1 release and the next to have a greater degree of control and awareness of what goes into each release. We also wish to use a source control system to track changes (we'll probably use SVN, but I don't think that the actual SCS tool makes a big difference to our decision at this point).
The options available (that I'm aware of), are:
1. Full MDL export/import.
2. Snapshot MDL export/import.
3. Manual coding of everything using OMB Plus.
I am loath to use the full MDL export/import functionality since it will be difficult, if not impossible, to identify easily the changes made between 1 release and the next.
The snapshot MDL export/import functionality is a little better at comparing releases, but it's still difficult to see exactly what has changed between 1 version and the next - particularly when a change to a transformation has been made. It also doesn't cope that well with tracking individually made changes to different components of the model.
The manual coding using OMB Plus seems like the best option at the moment, though I keep thinking "What's the point of using a GUI tool, if I'm just going to code everything in scripts anyway?".
I know that you can create OMB Plus code generation scripts to create your 'creation' scripts, but the code generation of the Alteration scripts seems that it would be more complicated than just writing the Alteration scripts manually.
Any thoughts anyone out there has would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Liffey

Well, you can also do per-object MDL exports and then manage those in your version control system. With a proper directory structure it would be fairly simple to code an OMB+ Script that scans a release directory tree and imports the objects one by one. I have done this before, although if you are using OWB as the primary metadata location for database objects then you have to come up with some way to manage object dependency order issues.
The nice thing about this sort of system is that a patch can be easily shipped with only those objects that need to be updated.
And if you force developers to put object-level MDL into your version control system then your system should also have pretty reporting on what objects were changed for a release and why.
At my current job we do full exports of the project MDL and have a deployment script that drops the pre-existing deployed version of the project before importing and deploying the new version, which also works quite well - although as you note the tracking of what has changed in a release then needs to be carefully managed elsewhere. But we don't deploy any of our physical database objects through OWB. Those are deployed from Designer, and our patch script applies all physical changes first before we replace the mappings from the OWB project. We don't even bother synching the project metadata for tables / views / etc. at deployment. If the OWB project's metadata for database objects is not in sync with Designer, then we wind up with deployment errors. But on the whole it works pretty well.

Managed bean inheritance best practice

Hi!
I'm new to JSF so I would like to apologize if my question is trivial, but I haven't been able to find proper solution.
I'm using JSF 1.2 on WAS CE. I have a page where user can search for some entities, both person and company, which share some data, but have some different properties. Both inherit from entity class, so search results are displayed in dataTable as base entity objects. Each dataTable row has commandLink which should navigate user to specific (person or company) page for editing data. For example, if user clicks on commandLink in person data row, I would like to show personEdit page with all data set to components. I understand that I can use action to set navigation to proper page, and I have done so (following action() method). I have implemented EntityBean, PersonBean and CompanyBean:
public class EntityBean {
    protected Entity entity;
    public int getId() {
        return entity.getId();
    public void setId(int id) {
        entity.setId(id);
    public String action() {
        // Some code which defines return value for action invoking.
    public void edit(ActionEvent event) {
        // Get entity data for edit.
public class PersonBean extends EntityBean {
    public String getFirstName() {
        return ((Person)entity).getFirstName();
public class CompanyBean extends EntityBean {
    public String getName() {
        return ((Company)entity).getName();
}I tried combining action with actionListener method (+edit(ActionEvent event)+ method) invoked from commandLink, but if it is invoked on mapped entityBean, I get only entity properties set on any other page which is shown after invoked action. If method is invoked on i.e. personBean (same method, not overriden), I get NullPointerException for trying to access property for base entityBean.
How should I invoke proper data initialization for bean shown on another page?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your quick reply. Beside the code for managed bean classes, here's the rest of the code for this specific problem.
In faces-config.xml I have the following configuration:
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>entitySearchBean</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>entities.EntitySearchBean</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>personBean</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>entities.PersonBean</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>
     <managed-bean>
          <managed-bean-name>entityBean</managed-bean-name>
          <managed-bean-class>legalentities.EntityBean</managed-bean-class>
          <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
     </managed-bean>On my JSP, I have a dataTable loaded with entityBean objects, and the following code for showing editPage:
     <h:column>
          <h:commandLink id="editLink" action="#{entitySearchBean.editEntity}" actionListener="#{entityBean.edit}">
               <h:outputText value="#{bundle.edit}" />
               <f:param id="editId" name="editId" value="#{entity.id}" />
          </h:commandLink>
     </h:column>
</h:dataTable>So, what I'm trying to do is to call entityBean.edit which should initialize EntityBean with entity data, and it sets i.e. person data to entity field of EntityBean class. I also call editEntity method on EntitySearchBean class (bean used just for searching entities with some criteria), and pass id property of selected entity in dataTable.
What I'm expecting is to get personEdit.jsp with loaded personBean data initialized from actionListener on searchPage.jsp. Is it possible or is there some other way to do this?

FWSM interface monitoring and best practices documentation.

Hello everyone
I have a couple of questions regarding vlan interface monitoring and best practices specifically for this service module.
I couldn’t find a suggestion or guideline as for how to define a VLAN interface on a management station. The FWSM total throughput is 5.5gbs and the interfaces are mapped to vlans carried on trunks over 10gb etherchannels. Is there a common practice, or past experience, to set some physical parameters to logical interfaces? "show interface" command states BW as unknown.
Additionally, do any of you have a document addressing best practices for FWSM? I have this for other platforms and general recommendations based on newer ASA versions but nothing related to FWSM.
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Guido

Hi,
If you are looking for some more command to check for the throughput through the module:-
show firewall module <number> traffic
Also , I think as this is End of life , you might have to check for some old documentation from Cisco on the best practices.

How to handle multiple site to site IPsec vpn on ASA, any best practice to to manage multiple ipsec vpn configrations

how to handle multiple site to site IPsec vpn on ASA, any best practice to to manage multiple ipsec vpn configurations
before ver 8.3 and after version 8.3 ...8.4.. 9 versions..

Hi,
To my understanding you should be able to attach the same cryptomap to the other "outside" interface or perhaps alternatively create a new crypto map that you attach only to your new "outside" interface.
Also I think you will probably need to route the remote peer ip of the VPN connection towards the gateway IP address of that new "outside" and also the remote network found behind the VPN connection.
If you attempt to use VPN Client connection instead of L2L VPN connection with the new "outside" interface then you will run into routing problems as naturally you can have 2 default routes active at the sametime (default route would be required on the new "outside" interface if VPN Client was used since you DONT KNOW where the VPN Clients are connecting to your ASA)
Hope this helps

Best Practice for managing variables for multiple environments

I am very new to Java WebDynPro and have a question
concerning our deployments to Sandbox, Development, QA,
and Production environments.
What is the 'best practice' that people use so that if
you have information specific to each environment you
don't hard-code it in your Java WebDynPro code.
I could put the value in a properties file, but how do I
make that variant? Otherwise I'd still have to make a
change for each environment to the property file and
re-deploy. I know there are some configurations on the
Portal but am not sure if that will work in my instance.
For example, I have a URL that varies based on my
environment. I don't want to hard-code and re-compile
for each environment. I'd prefer to get that
information on the fly by knowing which environment I'm
running in and load the appropriate URL.
So far the only thing I've found that is close to
telling me where I'm running is by using a Parameter Map
but the 'key' in the map is the URL not the value and I
suspect there's a cleaner way to get something like that.
I used Eclipse's autosense in Netweaver to discover some
of the things available in my web context.
Here's the code I used to get that map:
TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameterMap();
In the forum is an example that gets the IP address of
the site you're serving from. It sounds like it is going
to be or has been deprecated (it worked on my system
right now) and I would really rather have something like
the DNS name, not something like an IP that could change.
Here's that code:
String remoteHost = TaskBinder.getCurrentTask().getWebContextAdapter().getHttpServletRequest().getRemoteHost();
Thanks in advance for any clues you can throw my way -
Greg

Hi Greg:
I suggest you that checks the "Software Change Managment Guide", in this guide you can find an explication of the best practices to work with a development infrastructure.
this is the link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/83/74c4ce0ed93b4abc6144aafaa1130f/frameset.htm
Now if you can gets the ip of your server or the name of your site you can do the next thing:
HttpServletRequest request = ((IWebContextAdapter) WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter()).getHttpServletRequest();
String server_name = request.getServerName();
String remote_address = request.getRemoteAddr()
String remote_host = request.getRemoteHost()
Only you should export the servlet.jar in your project properties > Build Path > Libraries.
Good Luck

Best practice for limiting network management to few devices

Hello ,
I have set up a very basic security implementation that is no way realistic, but I just want to experiment and learn...
In my 1801 router that answers DHCP requests on separate wired and wireless vlans, I have bound static IP addresses to the MAC addresses of my laptop wireless and wired interfaces.
Then I set up an ACL to permit inbound traffic from these IPs only for the vty lines.
Obviously this is easily defeated by statically assigning these same IPs to any device on the network, so I was thinking about a better way to limit management of the router to a few devices.
What is the best practice in professional environments?
Thanks.

Obviously this is easily defeated by statically assigning these same IPs to any device on the network, so I was thinking about a better way to limit management of the router to a few devices.

General Discussion - Best practice to manage Process order

Hi Experts,
Which is the best practice to manage process orders ?
1. Quantity Change - I can make quantity adjustment in R3 and APO.
2. Source Change - I can make a version change from order header . Also i can make a source change in APO by selecting a different PPM. Which is the best option.
3. Re Read Master Data - Best practice to read master data is from R3 or APO ?
I feel for all the above scenarios process ordes should always managed in R3. But still wondering why we have the same flexibility in APO too ?

Hello,
we are just migrating from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 and I have a couple of workflows to adopt.
For background steps I defined in the corresponding BOR methods an exception to be fired when no result is available (e.g. no mail address available). Normally, I defined them as temporary errors.
I activated in the WI outcome section the line for this exception and so the workflow processed this branch when the exception appeared. It worked fine.
Now, in ECC 6.0, the same workflow get stuck in the WI. The exception is fired (I can see it in the log as "Error message"), but the WI is still in status "in process". It doesn't continue with the error outcome branch.
Is this a new logic in ECC 6.0? Do you have any idea what to do? I used this logic some dozent times in different methods and workflows and it gives me a headache if I have to change everything ...
Thank you!
Best regards,
Thomas

Best practices on ip addressing

hi all,
just curious if there is a best practice for the naming of the inside int on a pix device. is there any harm in having it be addressed with an address from the vlan management pool?
thanks,
R

Hi,
To be frank there is no hard and fast rule to name a inside int of ur pix or any network device interface in ur network. Its just for the easy to refer at a latter stage. And for the second part of ur question regarding IP addressing to the internal interface in ur PiX its recommended that u assign any IP address from ur local pool from the same subnet ur PIX is connected to. Generally ur PIX sud have been connected to ur DMZ network. So u can assign any IP from ur DMZ V-Lan(Subnet).
Hope this helps u out ..
