N7k Interconnection between Multiple VDCs .

Hi
I have 2 N7Ks
N7K-1 have 2 VDCs,  D1 and D2
N7K-2 have 2 VDCc  S1 and S2
D1&D2 have vPC configured between them  and S1&S2 also have vPCs b/w them.
What is the best practice to interconnect D1&D2 to S1&S2 with redundancy ?  I am yet to see a Cisco Doc that discusses this design, Please let me know your suggestions.
TIA.

Hello, So then you could do this:
Physically:
D1 to S1
D1 to S2
D2 to S1
D2 to S2
(not including the VPC peer or keepalives)
1)
From N7K1 and 2 Core VDC's
Have 1 VPC to N7K1-Access VDC
Have 1 VPC to N7K2-Access VDC
This means that your core will have VPC's but your access will have port-channels to your core and not vpc's.
And then have your N7K2's / FEX attached to this access layer.
D1 and 2 to S1 - VPC 1 on CORE
D1 and 2 to S2 - VPC 2 on CORE
or
2)
The other way, which I haven't quite tried before, but no reason why it shouldn't work...
You have D1 and D2 provide one VPC (a) to S1 and S2
You have D1 and D2 provide one VPC (b) to S1 and S2
In this scenario you would have x2 VPC's on the core, and x2 VPC's on the access.
D1 to S2 - VPC1 - both sides
D2 to S1 - VPC1 - both sides
D1 to S1 - VPC2 - both sides
D2 to S2 - VPC2 - both sides
Just be sure to enable peer-switch, peer-gateway, ip arp synchronize for the VPC domain for efficiency

  • VRF between multiple VDCs

    I am currently planning out a secure multi-tenant solution using a Nexus 7010 (which I have no hands on experience with).
    I will be having four separate VDCs and need to configure them as follows:
    CORE SERVERS<--------V-------------V-----------V
                                         |              |             |
                                         |              |             |
                                      Tenant 1     |             |
                                                       |             |
                                                      Tenant 2   |
                                                                     |
                                                                     Tenant 3
    All tenants need to be able to communicate with the Core Servers, but they should not be able to communicate with each other.
    This is the configuration that I have worked out so far.  Please let me know if you see any issues with it that may cause it to not function or function incorrectly.
    CORE SERVERS:
    n7000(config)#vrf context core
    n7000(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
    n7000(config-if)#vrf member core

    route-target export 100:1
    route-target import 100:2
    route-target import 100:3
    route-target import 100:4

    n7000(config)#vrf context tenant1
    n7000(config)#interface ethernet 2/1
    n7000(config-if)#vrf member tenant1

    n7000(config-if)#vrf member tenant3
    n7000(config-if)#ip address 10.4.1.1
    ip vrf tenant3
    rd 100:4
    route-target export 100:4
    route-target import 100:1
    Also I have been unable to locate the command to manually set the rd for a vrf.
    Thoughts, comments, telling me I am wildly off base...all are appreciated, especially if you have an idea of how to either correct the issue or do it better.

    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • Any improvements in sharing an iPhoto Library between multiple users?

    It is possible and Apple Approved to share an iPhoto Library between multiple users, but the Library must be stored on a drive or disk image that ignores permissions:
    http://tech.kateva.org/2008/10/apple-supports-multi-user-iphoto.html
    This doesn't work for me. Has Apple changed anything with iLife '09 to make it easier to share a Library? For example, have they changed from the prior Package format?
    Message was edited by: jfaughnan

    Alternatives to a trip to the Terminal:
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc. The problem here is that OS X works very hard to keep your data safe and secure from the other users. You're trying to beat what's built in to the system. So, to beat the system
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts
    Move the iPhoto Library Folder to an external HD set to ignore permissions. You could also use a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.
    In each account in turn: Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting dialogue, select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new library location. From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
    Lastly: This method seems a little clunky at first, but works very well. Most importantly, it uses the System to do the job for you.
    Create a new Account on your Mac, call it Media. Create an iPhoto Library there. (BTW: This will work for iTunes too.)
    Enable Sharing on the Library:(Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other accounts. In those accounts, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. The Library will appear in the other source pane.
    This means that both users will be able to see the pics. If you want to use a pic then simply drag it from the shared Library to your own in the iPhoto Window. This means that each user can have their own edits.
    If you want to add photos to the Library: Log into the Media account for that purpose.
    To make it all seamless: Set your Mac to log into the Media Account automatically. Set iPhoto to launch on log-in. Then switch to your own account using Fast User Switching.
    Net result: a Library that's permanently available to all users but also protected. Each user can have their own versions of the pics if they want.
    No partitioning, no permissions issues. Uses no extra disk space. What's not to like?

  • Question/Problem Sharing iTunes Library between multiple users

    Hello all,
    I have a question (potential problem) regarding sharing an iTunes Library between multiple users.
    In the past, I had placed the iTunes folder in /Users/Shared, and created an alias to it in the "Music" folder of each user, and it worked fine.  However, with a recent upgrade to Mac OS 10.5, only the Home user account can access the library. 
    I read the Apple Support Document http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203 uner Mac OS X which specifically states *not* to move the iTunes folder, just the iTunes Media folder (which I don't have, would that be iTunes Music?).
    Any recommendations?  Should I delete the different alias, move the iTunes folder back to the home user, and then follow the instructions in the support document?
    We're also looking to sync music purchsed on our iPod touches, as well as apps (which weren't supported in our privous Mac OS X version.
    Any advice is appreiciated.

    yes.
    specifically states *not* to move the iTunes folder
    *do* keep the entire iTunes folder in /users/shared, however, instead of creating aliases, launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder in /users/shared.
    obviously, only one iTunes at a time can access the library !

  • MobileMe and working on a site between multiple Macs

    In an article I was reading, the following was noted:
    iDisk balks at file packages like iWeb's Domain.sites2 file, making it +difficult for MobileMe users to work on an iWeb site between multiple Macs+.
    Does that mean working at the same time? Or, if for example I'm doing my site on my personal iMac, and then went to college or wanted to work on a MacBook for instance, cannot I complete working on my site through MobileMe?
    I may not be getting it clear.
    Thanks.

    if for example I'm doing my site on my personal iMac, and then went to college or wanted to work on a MacBook for instance, cannot I complete working on my site through MobileMe?
    The point is that to work on an iWeb site with two computers, both must have a copy of the Domain file. There are various ways to do that, like using a memory stick or Dropbox. But uploading and downloading from MobileMe is most likely not practical.

  • Drag and drop between multiple instances of an executable

    I want to know if there is a special way (not using Windows API) to drag and drop data between multiple instances of a same executable. 
    I have an application built in LabVIEW, where the main window can open a child window. Each window has a plot control. Between the two windows, a plot data of main window can be copied by drag and drop. 
    And I open another instance of the same executable. Now there are two executables(A and B).
    I want to drag and drop a plot data from the main window of B to the child window of A. But in this case, Drag Enter Event is not fired. I think that the event seems to be fired only inside an executable.
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/AB268878693EF4B586257037004A6725 says that Queue or Semaphore is working only inside an executable. Is drag operation also valid only inside a process?

    Hi,
    Placed images (as opposed to pasted images) in Indesign are by their very nature pointers to an external image file, so there is no way to slim down the size of your exported PDF other than by playing with the export settings. Other than that, ensure that your file is placed in Indesign at 100% and at the correct resolution for your desired output. If you open the PDF in Acrobat, you can also save as a reduced size PDF which may help.
    Good luck!

  • Fastest way you switch between multiple images (CS3) ?

    I'm originally a Fireworks user (from 2001) and am starting to learn Photoshop as it is in my CS3 set and it's superiority in image editing.
    BUT, I was suprised/shocked/P.O.-ed to notice Photoshop doesn't have tabs to easily switch between images like Fireworks has had for the last 7 years.
    (Yes, I realize CS4 has that option now, but I'm not willing to dole out another $600 bucks for another upgrade )
    Anyway, enough ********.
    My question is:
    "Can you tell me how you switch between multiple images opened in Photoshop CS3?"
    I'm assuming there must be a keyboard shortcut I can't find, or something besides having to shrink down the images and routing through them . . .

  • Share Data Source between multiple report projects in Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services

    I have a reports solution in 2012 which contains multiple report projects one each for target deployment folder and we use TFS 2012 for report deployment.
    We have a template project which has a bunch of template reports and all the datasources used in different reports.
    When I develop a report, I cannot "Preview" in TFS but, for deploy this used to work fine util the reports solution was in TFS 2010 & Visual Studio 2008 R2. Since we moved to TFS 2012 & SSRS 2012 not being able to deploy till I create all
    the necessary datasources for each project and now all the developers complaining that they cannot develop reports in TFS itself as they cannot preview (this problem was existing previously) and now not being able to deploy as it errors for each report "Could
    not find specified rds file". I tried messing around with the .rptproj file DataSources tag that did not help either by modifying it like below.
    <DataSources>
    <ProjectItem>
    <Name>DB.rds</Name>
    <FullPath>Template\Data Source\DB.rds</FullPath>
    </ProjectItem>
    </DataSources>

    Thanks in advance.............
    Ione

    Hi ione721,
    According to your description, you want to create a shared data source which works for multiple projects. Right?
    In Reporting Services, A shared data source is a set of data source connection properties that can be referenced by multiple reports, models, and data-driven subscriptions that run on a Reporting Services report server. It must be within one project.
    We can't specify one data source working for multple projects. In this scenario, we suggest you put those reports into one project. Otherwise you can only create one data source for each project.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best Regards,
    Simon Hou
