OSPF Neighborship between different OSPF Processes

Hallo,
i am just searching for an NX-OS command to check out , if a neighborship exists - or does not exist - between two different OSPF processes.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Manfred

Hello Manfred,
Are you asking about two OSPF processes on the same device, or on two different devices?
Although I do not work with NX-OS, by definition, two separate OSPF processes on the same device never share their data. The only instance of route flow from one process to another is when you configure redistribution from one OSPF process into the other.
On the contrary, on two distinct devices, an OSPF process on one device can communicate with a different OSPF process on another device just fine, as the process number (or name, if NX-OS supports that) is never exchanged with a neighbor.
Best regards,
Peter

Trying to understand problems that occur when redistributing between two OSPF processes

Hi all, I'm currently brushing up on my OSPF and trying to understand the problems that can occur when redistributing between two OSPF processes. I have read and understand (I think!) the issues caused by the fact that the same route submitted by two different OSPF processes may not necessarily follow the OSPF rules that one would expect - for example, OSPF preferring intra-area routes to inter-area routes to external routes, but only within the same process. So, if the same route is submitted from two different processes, that rule goes out the window.
But I'm having some difficulty getting my head around the idea of setting the administrative distance lower in one OSPF process to prefer one domain over the other. I just can't quite follow the example described in this document:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/4170-ospfprocesses.html#twored
Specifically, in figure 4 where two external networks - external network "N" originating in OSPF domain 1, and external network "M" originating in OSPF domain 2 - are redistributed via two ASBRs. The explanation states:
This sequence of events could occur occur:
Router A (Router B) redistributes M into Domain 1, and external M will reach Router B (Router A).
Because the administrative distance of Domain 1 is lower than Domain 2, Router A (Router B) will install M through Domain 1 and will set to maxage its previous originated LSA (event 1) into Domain 1.
Because M has been set to maxage in Domain 2, Router A (Router B) will install M though Domain 2 and, therefore, will redistribute M into Domain 2.
Same as event 1.
I can't quite work my way through this. I guess it must have something to do with the redistribution of "M" from domain 2 into domain 1 being learned by both ASBRs due to the lower administrative distance assigned to external routes in domain 1, and the original routes through domain 2 being deleted, but then I can't follow the rest of the description. And I can't understand why this would be a problem for network "M" in OSPF domain 2, but NOT for network "N" in OSPF domain 1.
Any explanation gratefully received!
Thanks, Graham

Hello.
You are right - whenever A and B learns about "M" from Domain 2, they craft LSA for domain 1 and inject it simultaneously. They learn each other's LSAs simultaneously and withdraw (set timer to 3600) for previous LSAs. And it might flap infinitely.
If they don't learn LSA simultaneously (let's say that A is much faster then B), then there will be no flaps, but B would learn all Domain 2 routes (not just redistributed) via Domain 1.
And later you will observe routing loop (when you stop advertising M from D): A knows "M" from Domain 2 and injects into Domain 1, B knows from A via Domain 1 and injects into Domain 2... so "M" stays in the routing tables due to mutual redistribution.
You don't have similar (flap) issue with network "N", because admin distance is lower for Domain 1, so both routers would never prefer OSPF via Domain 2! But having no issue with route flaps, you still will observe routing loop if you stop advertising "N" from C.

Maximum OSPF processes on a router?

What is the maximum number of OSPF processes that a router can run? In a book I read the following:
"when provisioning for PE-to-CE connectivity, it is important to bear in mind that the current IOS implementation provides a maximum of 32 protocol descriptor blocks (PDBs) per PE router.
One PDB is used per protocol instance, including static and connected.
If OSPF is used for PE-CE connectivity, separate OSPF processes are required (1 per VRF), and 1 PDB is used per VRF where you run an OSPF process."
So does that mean that only 32 OSPF processes can be run on a single router? If someone can confirm this, I would appreciate it!
Thanks

Yes that is true. Actually in an MPLS/VPN environment a PE is using "directly connected", "static", IGP (f.e. IS-IS) and MP-BGP. So finally there are 28 processes left for OSPF. Whether one would be very happy with a router trying to run 28 SPF concurrently is another question ... so to my opinion this is not really such a big deal. "only 32" is relative ...
kind regards
Martin

How many OSPF Processes does a Cat6500 w/ Sup720 support?

Hi,
we've to build many vrf's and have to run
OSPF on each of these.
My question is, how many OSPF Processes does a Cat6500 w/ Sup720 can support?
regards
kf

Harold,
Thanks for the clarification. I hope you don't mind one more question. I have looked it up..http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123newft/123t/123t_4/gtospfvf.htm
but it is not clear whether multiple vrfs can share the same routing process through the routing context mechanism. If this is not supported yet, then I wonder how scalable this is, and in particular whether service providers will view this as a viable feature considering the demand on resources on a PE router to run multiple (according to the document, depending on platform, up to 10,000!) ospf processes?

E.

Module replace crash OSPF processes

Hi All,
On a 6509-NEB-A i've replaced on module 1 the WS-X6748-GE-TX module installed.
The module was working properly and replaced due to a bug in a stock of cards about a component that could burn out.
The system detected the new inserted card but on configuration all the GigabitEthernet 1/1-48 reported:
" Hardware has been removed, interface disabled".
At the same time all the OSPF process on the system established by interfaces on other modules began to flap.
The diagnostic of the module 1 said:
" %DIAG-SP-3-MAJOR: Module 1: Online Diagnostics detect
ed a Major Error. "
The same card inserted in another 6509-NEB-A worked perfectly. Only, i powered off the module before replace.
Now my questions are:
a) Do i always need to power off the module before the replace? What is the best practice in module replacement?
b) What can be the creason of the OSPF flapping on other modules?

Now my questions are:
a) Do i always need to power off the module before the replace? What is the best practice in module replacement?
No, switching modules are hot-swappable. See below.
Hot Swapping Switching Modules
You can remove and replace switching modules without powering down the switch. This feature is known as hot swapping.
When you remove or insert a switching module while the switch is powered on and operating, the switch does the following:
1. Determines if there is sufficient power for the module.
2. Scans the backplane for configuration changes.
3. Initializes all newly inserted switching modules, notes any removed modules, and places them in the administratively shutdown state.
4. Places any previously configured interfaces on the switching module back to the state they were in when they were removed. Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but unconfigured) at boot time. If you insert a similar switching-module type into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original switching module.
The switch runs diagnostic tests on any new interfaces. If the test passes, the switch is operating normally. If the new switching module is faulty, the switch resumes normal operation but leaves the new interface disabled.
If the diagnostic test fails, the switch crashes, which usually indicates that the new switching module has a problem in the bus and should be removed.
b) What can be the creason of the OSPF flapping on other modules?
I thought you saw the following error on that module:
" %DIAG-SP-3-MAJOR: Module 1: Online Diagnostics detected a Major Error. "
The above could also mean the line card is not properly seated. Re-seat that line card and see if it fails the diagnostic again.

Sharing songs between different iTunes accounts on the same Mac

Hello
I am a newbie to Mac. My wife and I both have seperate iTunes accounts set up on our seperate user accounts on our MacBook. Can we share songs between our accounts?

The process for sharing libraries is much [easier in iTunes 8|http://forums.macworld.com/thread/105366?tstart=0].

Sharing music between different accounts - is this how it works?

The way iTunes shares music between different users seems a bit poor.
I have two user accounts set up on the same PC, with music files accessed by each from the same folder (as described here: How To Share Music Between Different Accounts On A Single Computer).
My main issues are:
1) I have to manually add new music added by the other user instead of it just appearing in iTunes.
2) iTunes doesn't recognise if a music file is already in the joint library, so we end up with two copies of things (particularly tiresome for podcasts).
Am I doing something wrong - maybe there is an easy way around this?
... or do the people at Apple need to do a bit of work here?

By default, any new file or folder created is set to be read+write for the creator, and read-only for everyone else. The file creator can grant write access to other users by changing the permissions on a folder and its contents, as Neil suggests. But you'll have to repeat that process every time a new file is added.
Fortunately, there is a way to automatically grant read+write access to all files created or copied to the folder. First go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Click the + button under the users list. Then, make a new group; calling it "sharegroup" or something similar. Add the users you want to the group.
Then put all the files you want to share into a commonly-accessible folder, such as a subfolder in /Users/Shared.
Then log in to an admin account and open Terminal. Paste in the following two lines:
sudo chmod -R +a "sharegroup allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
Press return, then drag the folder into the Terminal window, and press return again. Enter admin password when prompted and press return. That should do it. Everything there now should be fully writable by all users in sharegroup. New files that are *created in* or *copied to* the folder will be the same way.
Files that you *move in* from a different location on the same hard drive won't be, though. So make sure you copy previously existing files into the sharefolder instead of moving them (hold down option key while dragging to copy) so that they get the custom permissions applied.

Mapping in interconnect between different Business Objects

I want to know how to do transformation and mapping between different business objects in interconnects.
Always,We have a very complex SQL,when We do intergration
with Oracle interconnect ,We use DB Adapter or Jdbc Adapter,but the complex SQL have to be excuted in the resource DB or the destination DB which may be a big pressure to them ,I think can We use different Business Objects, and do the Mappings in interconnect,so the big pressure will be on the interconnect server just like the ETL tools, But I just find that Interconnect can do tranformation and mapping in one Business Object ,how can I do? Is anyone meet this problem like me ?thanks for discussion.

For me, Business Objects are logical groupings of business processes. For example, we have a Business Object called "Maintain_Employees". Under this we have 1 Procedure (Create_Employee) and 2 Events (Update_Employee and Delete_Employee).
We have 1 Oracle system interfacing with 23 other legacy systems. Some of these legacy systems will be using this "Maintain_Employees" Business Object (Common View), and our main transformations will be between the Common View and the legacy Application Views.
We are using a number of techniques to assist in "validating" data in the InterConnect. The main ones are using 'Cross Reference Tables (XREF)' and 'DatabaseOperation' transformations. By using 'Content Based Routing' we are able to send the right message to the right legacy system, and therefore do the right transformation/validation on the message payload. However, this is only a small part of a complex puzzle.
I also have the "problem" of having "very complex SQL" on our Oracle system too. This is not unusual when using the InterConnect.
To my mind, the InterConnect does 2 main operations. Firstly, it performs some message transformation (mapping), and secondly, it acts as a transportation engine (routing) using the adapters.
The remainder of the effort required to create or consume the message resides with the Applications themselves. Whether it is parsing an XML CLOB payload, inserting data into staging tables, writing to log files, pre-processing data, calling API's or something else, your Application side programming and processing overhead can get large.
The trade off it to ask the question, do I want to be able to track and manage messages from start to finish in high detail? Or can I trust that all message payload data will be consumed with no additional processing on the Application side?
My experience has shown that the bottleneck is always at the Application side, and almost never in the InterConnect.
The short answer to your first question is "You are right. Mappings can take place only between Application Views and Common Views only - not between Business Objects.".
To answer your second question "Probably everyone reading this forum has this problem. The intelligence that is able to really interpret message data, validate it and process it is only found in the Application, not the InterConnect. You could, however, use the Workflow engine within OAI in order to provide additional pre-validation, human interaction and logic, but this too could be complex."
At my current client, we are architecting an Application OAI Message handling schema. This will contain staging tables, pre-processing tables, "OAI" wrapper PL/SQL scripts, "APPS" wrapper PL/SQL scripts and Message Logging and Exception tables. Ours will be a complex set of PL/SQL processes too.
I hope this helps, just in letting you know that you are not alone with this problem.
I wonder if anyone else would like to share how they have architected their InterConnect and Application side mapping and transformation solutions.

- UI interface based on NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC)
- flexibility on scheduling assessments and tests based on control attributes
- configurable reports and extraction to either .pdf or .xls
- possibility to se configure workflow to send reminders and escalations
- integration with Access Control 5.3, RAR component
- concept of service providers allowing controls to be referenced between different organizations (former MIC orgunit)
- assessments based on surveys (questions to be answered)
- effectiveness tests based on test plan (both tests and steps)

How to share memory between different VMs?

Hi, dear all!
I don't know if it is possible to share memory between different VMs. I know its easy for threads. Now my problem is that I want to start serveral applications which share only one copy of data, I don't know what's the right way to do that.
Thanx

They are some volume data for visualization. I want to
serveral rendering servers on a single machine, the
data size can be up to 1024*1024*1024 ( or even larger
I don't know if I HAVE TO use threads in order to
share the data, however, threads are not preemptive as
processes I think, is that true?
Not really sure what that has to do with it.
I believe the VMs for most common OSes use preemptive thread scheduling. I know windows does and I am rather certain that solaris/linux also do that.
A number of suggestions were made above for your problem. Memory mapped files allow multiple VMs if memory mapped files work for your VM/OS. Or you can use a single VM.
Given that your dataset is 1 gig or larger you might want to keep in mind the limitations of modern OSes. Windows for example will not normally allow any application to have a process space larger than 2 gigs. And on all OSes the VM heap limitations for 32-bit VMs are below 2 gigs by several hundred mega-bytes.

Script to random switch between different waveforms

Hello.
How correctly to write the script for switch between different waveforms during generation?
For example:
We are using the niFgen Allocate Named Waveform VI for allocate three Waveforms. When you run Generator, working first Waveforms. Next, the Generator is switched and used in the following only second and third Waveforms.
Or, we configured 10 Waveforms, and in the process of generating to switch not cyclically between all, but only between 2 and 5 Waveforms.
Whether it is possible to realize?

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Chris,
Possible that the its scripts and came to use (though I now doubt), but with instruction the if/else/end ifmust be preceded by a generate or wait <N> instruction.
In this case, if we add generate or wait <N> instructions to this script to get Abra-Cadabra some kind.
Clarify, what is necessary:
When starting is not pressed any triggers that generate a waveform0 continuously.
Further, if we passed to the niFgen Send Software Edge Trigger VI - single the triggerX, begin to generate a waveformX continuously.
These scripts do not provide the necessary algorithms:
May be I do not fully understand the scripts work.
How to ensure continuous generation waveformX by a single sent of the triggerX?
Please, prompt.

Difference between Thread and Process

Hi!
I was googling about this subject, and I found this old thread on google: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580508&messageID=2939031
My specific doubt is: can one thread inside in a process affect other thread inside in other process?
But, actually, the terms thread and process are not clear for me yet. I don't know what is the exact difference yet.

> If I start a JVM, and Microsoft Word, and a web
browser, that's three processes. A process is an
OS-level construct.
Threads refer to concurrent execution paths withina
given process. Just like multiple processes canrun
in parallel within the OS, so can multiple threads
run in parallel within a process.
That's exactly what I understood. So, I suppose that
a thread in a process cannot affect other thread in
other process, can it?Not at the Java language level.
I mean, the wait( ), notify(
), etc, methods do not make sense if you consider
threads of different process, right?Right. Those are just methods that you call on objects. The same rules apply to them as to other methods. Now, with RMI, it might be possible to call wait(), etc. on a remote object. I've never use RMI, but I don't think that actually works. If it does, I expect it would be in an RMI tutorial.
Indeed, very confusing. They could facilitate,
defining a clear distinction between thread and
process.Well, there is a distinction in their "interface," if you will. It's just that their implementations can overlap.
Kind of like how a List and a Set are different, but you could implement a Set by composing it with a List.

HT1203 iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer - I tried to use the instructions to configure 2 different windows users sharing the same iTunes library. I could not get this to work per the instructions.

To give other users read-only access to your iTunes library, use the Sharing features of iTunes. Sharing works over the local network as well as on the same computer. See the built-in help for details.
If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
