MCAK for vCloud Director 5.1

Hi
We have been using the latest MultiCloud for vCloud Director but are now looking at upgrading to vCenter and vCloud Director 5.1.
I had seen some mention of support coming soon for the version 5.1 of vCD, but have not seen if it is available or in what version it will be.
Would you be able to give some indication on the support for this version please?
Regards,
Paul

You should have no issues using the latest version of MCAK with vCloud Director 5.1. All IAC functionality has been verified. What is not supported yet is the VCD 5.1 API, so you would not be able to take advantage of new API/product features with the PO VCD adapter (although, you could always write your own custom process using HTTP requests to call the new REST API directly).

Error in adding host to vCloud Director 5.5.

In our vCloud Director 5.5, we have added vcenter server through which ESXi Host are visible. however while preparing the ESXi host for vCloud Director i.e. installing vcloud agent it stucks in installation and never completes. N/W connectivity is working fine also we did manual uninstallation and reinstalling the vcloud director agent we are getting error message.
Can someone help, where are the logs file getting generated in ESXi Host also how to resolve this issue.

Hi,
Can you please confirm VC and Host Version ? "we did manual uninstallation and reinstalling the vcloud director agent we are getting error message" What is the message saying ? Screenshot would be of great help.
Please ensure that we don't have any running VM's on that host,if VCD fails to place the host in MM,you can manually put the host in MM mode and try preparing.Also keep an eye on below article to check if you are hitting with any such issues.
VMware KB: Setting up a provider in vCloud Director fails with the error: Cannot prepare host
VMware KB: Preparing a host for VMware vCloud Director fails with the error: java.net.UnknownHostException
For log check -- > /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/logs do check for vcloud-container-debug.log,better to 'tail' the log when the host is going through preparation phase
Also do check /var/log/vmkernel.log and hostd logs.

VCloud Director 5.5.3 - console disconnected on Chrome

Hello all,
I have an issue with vCD 5.5.3 and Chrome console . It popus up and immediately goes to disconnected . From the same PC , Firefox and IE console both work . There is no vmware-vmrc folder created , so I don't know how to get the logs of what might be wrong.
Both http and console certificate were imported into Trusted root certificate authority , opened in Chrome https://vcd-console , it is trusted .
Any ideeas on what might be , or how to get the logs ?
Thank you.

Well, some additional info :
I've tried VMware KB: Cannot connect to vCloud Director HTML5 console with Mac OS X using Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome ( which also applies on Windows ) -> https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/console
In javascript console, I've noticed that Chrome actually tries to open the console using the IP instead of the FQDN . I've tried to open https://ip-of-console , and of course I get a warning regarding the certificate , as it was created for FQDN , and it tries on IP .
Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).
So in the end is related to Certificate , have to see if there is a DNS issue or what . If you have any ideas, feel free to share.
Thank you.

How to set umask for specific directories?

Hi all.
Usually one set umask in .profile or .bash_profile. For example one recommendation is to set umask 022 for the Oracle DB software owner.
But i if wanted to change file permission for specific directories, for example udump and bdump directories, say 0177, how can that be acomplish...?
Thanks in advance ...!

Hello Frits.
I found the article pretty interesting and actually complements some research i'm doing about database security. Particularly something called project lockdown by Arup Nanda: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/project_lockdown/phase1.html
On this document , section 1.4 Use umask. it specifcally states to set umask to 0177 for dump_dest and other directories, so it all comes down to how to set this umask for these particular directories.
I'd like to here you opinion on this ....
Best regards, Luis ...!

Where is the button for HP Director in Windows 7?

Where is the button for HP Director in Windows 7? Trying to find the printer cartridge ink levels. This is very easy to do on Canon printers. Hopefully I can accomplish the same thing on an HP in at least a day. I've been looking for about an hour, so far.
Very frustrated.

One ? should suffice, and why the capital letters? Try to remain calm. I know Photoshop can be frustrating, but In the grand scheme of things your inability to find a control in an application you're using really doesn't need such emphasis... Please look up "netiquette" when you have a chance.

How to use vCloud Director Catalog into vFabric Data Director

Hi,
How to use vCloud Director Catalog into vFabric Data Director.....

When you install Data Director, you have the option of selecting a Global or Organizational installation. When you select Organizational, you have an additional option to specify the vCD instance from which you can get Organizations and Users. This must be set up at installation time.

PDA-based Tools for Producer/Directors?

Anyone know of a PDA-based tool or suite of tools to help a Producer/Director keep track of a small production? Stuff like shot sheets, scheduling, location tracking, ability to import storyboards, etc. Maybe even sophisticated project management stuff, too.
I know there are vanilla project management apps out there, but I was wondering if someone knew of anything customized (or customizable) for independent film and video production.
I'd prefer to carry a PDA, like I used to use my venerable old Newton. But I suppose if the only solutions needed to run on a full-featured laptop, I could live with that.
Anyone have any referrals for me? Thanks in advance.

Good idea!
A construction company here in San Francisco used wireless PDAs with its crew to keep each worker up to date with their duties on the project. Took several monthes off the work time.
I wish there was a Mac OS PDA out there. Smaller pen friendly computers are far more useful that notebooks for a lot of work.
As for software for Producers/Directors. I am going to check out Versiontracker's Palm section and then PDAGold.com My PDA is Win Mobile 5, so, I have to weed through all the palm software to find WM5 programs.
Someone with some SQL skills would make a killing with a PDA app for us to keep track of projects in the field.

Using XSan for Home Directories

I'm having trouble setting my XSan drive as a destination for home directories.
When I log in it says the directory is unavailable, and it hasn't created it. If I allow everyone read/write access to the share it creates a home containing only a desktop and library folder with none of the files from the user template.
What am I doing wrong? I'm using Active Directory for authentication, both the XSan Primary Controller and secondary controller are bound, and the secondary is an Open Directory Master and resharing the Xsan drive for user directories. If I use a server local drive all works fine.
Many thanks for any suggestions

Unable to import vAppTemplate to vCloud Director with PowerCLI

I have encountered the following issue with PowerCLI and vCloud Director:
Import-CIVappTemplate cmdlet is not functioning in PowerCLI 5.8 and 6.0 against vCloud Director 5.5.
Error Message on PowerCLI:An attempt was made to move the file pointer before the beginning of the file.
Error Message on vCloud Director UI:Catalog item file transfer failed due to SSL error.
I had confirmed the issue is on each individual cell when I connect direct to the cell before running the cmdlet.
The same ovf and cmdlet is working well in PowerCLI 5.5 and 5.8 against vCloud Director 5.1.
Any suggestion is welcome.

Best RAID setup for Home Directories

Hi there,
I'm looking to upgrade our existing infrastructure which is 5 or 6 years old. We have an old Xserve RAID which has 4x 250Gb disks in a RAID 5 configuration which gives about 640Gb of storage for home directories. However the peak number of users has shot up to something like 85.
I want to be able to increase the storage space for home users but also to provide a RAID storage solution that has optimised performance for the number of users we now have.
Is there any kind of ratio or guideline to the kind of configuration/system I should be looking at? Can anyone offer any advice?
It's a gigabit ethernet network, so obviously I realise that performance is limited by that also.
Any help much appreciated.

OK, that helps a lot.
The CPU load on the server seems a little higher than I'd expect. What's the activity level of the RAID? Are the disks continually active? Are the fiber channel activity lights (the vertical columns of LEDs in the middle) all active?
That will help track the issue to the host system or the RAID.
If the disk activity lights are always busy then it may be an issue with the number of drives for the number of users, and more physical drives would help.
This could also be indicative of a too-full volume (RAID 5 volumes will degrade in performance over about 85% full. At 95% full performance may be excruciatingly slow).
If the fiber channel activity levels are high then the problem is the amount of disk access and your best bet would be to expand to the other half of the array (this will double the available fiber channel bandwidth between the host and the RAID).
If the RAID activity levels aren't high then it could be a network bottleneck on the server, in which case link aggregation could help - it isn't just for redundancy, it will load balance client traffic over the links, effectively increasing performance for clients.
You are right that if you try to expand the current volume with drives, the drives will be sized to 250GB, regardless of their physical capacity. For this reason you would need to build a new array on the other side of the RAID and copy the data over.
The ideal situation would be 14 new drives which you could build into two 7-disk arrays which are then striped on the host system.

Patch for Macromedia Director 6.0 Upgrade for Windows - DOES ANYBODY STILL HAVE IT?

Hello, I am a collector of 1990's multimedia who likes seeking out older, pre-Adobe versions of Director. I have the upgrade version of Director 6.0 for Windows, and it's unfortunately part of an early batch that comes with a corrupted copy of the Projec32.skl stub projector file, rendering 32-bit projectors made with the upgrade version of Director 6 for Windows unusable (only 16-bit projectors will work).
Macromedia released a patch on their old website to address this issue shortly after the release of Director 6 back in 1997, but I can't find it anywhere on the Internet these days. Does anyone still have this patch, and if so, can you share it with me? (FYI, the filename for the patch is "D6wpatch.exe") Or, alternatively, if any of you still have the full, non-upgrade version of Director 6 for Windows, can you share the Projec32.skl with me? (it can be found in Director's installation directory, normally "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 6")
Thanks if you can provide any help,
Ryan
(EDIT 10/26/2012: addendum about alternative sharing method was added to the above text, since Director 6 and prior versions are getting harder and harder to find on eBay these days)
UPDATE 11/23/2012: I finally found the solution... after calling Adobe tech support to no avail (they searched, but didn't find it - they said that all the old Macromedia files got lost after they purchased Macromedia a few years back), I managed to solve the problem myself! I manually extracted the projector stub code from a working 32-bit Director 6 projector executable in a hex editor, and saved that code as a separate projec32.skl file. I replaced the corrupted projector stub, and I proceeded to make a 32-bit projector with a small test movie I made. And guess what - it worked! Thanks, everyone, for viewing this post. I hope that helps!

After countless hours of reading I finally discovered what the problem was. I did not read thoroughly through the support documentation which allows a person to update their IPOD video very easily simply follow the directions "and I mean the entire directions" within the following link. I would also strongly suggets following the area which state to d/l Quicktime separately from Itunes. This completely rveresed my problems, and now I have a great functioning IPOD once more.

Using dbms_metadata to get ddl for creating directories

Hi,
I am working on creating a test database, which is a copy of production for 11g upgrade testing. I want to get all the ddls from my production databse to create all the directories in the new test database. I have been trying to use dbms_metadata for this -
Below is the code that I have been trying to use. However, when I query the my_metadata table, there is nothing in there. Can someone please help me with this?
DROP TABLE my_metadata;
CREATE TABLE my_metadata(md CLOB);
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE progp1_directories_extract
AS
hndl NUMBER; --dbms_metadata handle
th NUMBER; --transform handle
DDL CLOB; --individual clobs extracted from the database
BEGIN
hndl := DBMS_METADATA.OPEN ('DATABASE_EXPORT'); --Open the metadata
DBMS_METADATA.set_filter (hndl, 'INCLUDE_PATH_EXPR', '=''DIRECTORY'''); --Filter data as appropriate
th := DBMS_METADATA.add_transform (hndl, 'DDL'); --Get the Transform Handle
DBMS_METADATA.set_transform_param (th, 'SQLTERMINATOR', TRUE); --Include the semicolon
LOOP
DDL := DBMS_METADATA.fetch_clob (hndl); --Loop through the result set, inserting into our temp table
EXIT WHEN DDL IS NULL;

I can't see the bit where you actually try to execute the procedure - I assume you are doing this.
One killer feature of your code is the "when others then null" - you're not going to know where and why your code failed.
Taking a guess: are you running this as SYS ? If not then it's possible that you're not finding any data because of some feature in the way that the code sees the directory objects - they're always owned by SYS.
Although your code (when corrected) will generate the grants on the directories, the following is sufficient to generate the "create directory" statements. (Since all directories are owned by SYS it's actually an error to reference an owner in this query -- that means, by the way, that the answer you've marked as correct doesn't actually work).

     dbms_metadata.get_ddl('DIRECTORY',directory_name)
