Performance with setting mincache=direct and convosync=direct

Hi,
I am helping a Solaris+VxFS customer for my application that does not use O_SYNC. The customer reported that only setting convosync=direct does not have much performance benifits, but by adding mincache=direct there is a significant performance gain.
It looks like convosync=direct is not necessary to be set. Should I use mincache=direct only? Can some one have a logical explanation ? Many thanks.
Here are the definitions:
mincache=direct will cause any reads without the O_SYNC flag, or any writes without the O_SYNC flag, VX_DSYNC, VX_DIRECT, and VX_UNBUFFERED caching advisories, to be handled as if the VX_DIRECT caching advisory had been set.
convosync=direct will cause any reads or writes with the O_SYNC flag to be handled as if the VX_DIRECT caching advisory had been set.

  • Problems with setting first username and password

    I haven't used a cisco router in over 12 years, so I'm a bit rusty.  I had to replace a nortel box for a small charter school here in Hawaii, so I decided to go with a cisco 1941 / K9 router. using a usb terminal connection I started up the router as directed in the PDF documentation for this box.  It warned me that I must change the starting username and password (<cisco> and <cisco> respectively) with my own username and password.  I wanted to change this to <cisco1> and a simple password.  I thought I followed the directions, but I failed to reset the user name and password.  As I was looking up online for help on how to set a new username and password, the terminal window timed-out and now I can't log in to the 1941 router at all.
    How do I reset the router?  Once I do how do I correctly setup  username and password after I login once with cisco and cisco?
     Any help would be appreciated.
    I'm attaching a screen capture of the terminal window...

    How do I reset the router?
    Power OFF the router.
    If you look at the back (where the power button is) and to the lower left-hand corner, you'll observe two CF slots.  Pop the cover open and eject the CF. 
    Power up the router.  
    Observe the console terminal and when you see "rommon1>" enter the command "confreg 2142".  
    After the command has been accepted, insert the CF back and reboot the router.  
    Your router should boot into factory default (Username & Password are "cisco") but the config-registry value is still 2102.  
    Do the following:
    ​conf t
    config-registry 0x2102
    username BLAH password BLAH
    end

  • Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

    I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
    It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
    So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
    However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
    So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
    1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
    2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
    3. I cleared the page group cache
    4. I invalidated all of the web cache
    Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

  • Help with setting up SPA303 and/or 7960

    Hi,
    I purchased two pre-owned phones to use with my VOIP service, and I'm not knowledgeable in the software/firmware for these products. I'm sorry for my newbie questions, however, i am thoroughly confused on what to do.
    7960 - I did a factory reset by holding # and typing 123456789*0# and option 2, but it says "TFTP File not Found" - I tried running a TFTP server from my computer based on what some blogs said so I can upgrade the firmware to SIP but i've had zero luck in that department. I was thinking it needed to be converted to SIP, but I really have no idea, and the pressing the settings button won't do anything (so I cannot check the actual firmware that is installed) it just shows the "TFTP File not Found" message.
    SPA303 - I need to factory reset the phone but I do not have the admin password.
    Can someone tell me what I need to get these devices working? I'm in desperate need of a phone that will work so I can get my communications back up.
    Thanks!

    The cisco phones and ATAs are designed to allow providers to lock them with an admin password. They are designed not to be able to be unlocked.
    If you purchased the phones to use with another ITSP, I would go back to your place of purchase and ask for another phone that is not locked.
    alternately you could review the wireshark capture and verify which provider the phone is trying to connect to for provisioning, for example, sip.speakeasy.net.  Go to that provider and see if they will unlock the phone for you.
    Most providers use certificates and encryption for provisioning, and it's difficult to spoof/workaround.
    I don't believe the spc tool will allow you to push an unlocked config to the phone, it will allow you to create an unlocked config, but getting it on the phone is problematic.

  • Instability and Poor Performance with 11 11/11 and 11.1

    I've upgraded an OpenSolaris install to Solaris 11.1 over time and ever since I hit Solaris 11 11/11 and Solaris 11.1 my system has been unstable and slow (especially ZFS and GDM (which I had to disable in 11/11.1 because it was using too much CPU)). Whenever I shut down in Solaris 11/11.1 it causes a kernel panic. I run this command to shutdown:
    /usr/sbin/shutdown -y -g 60 -i 5
    and it causes this (then the system auto-restarts -- it never completes the shutdown):

    What could be causing all these issues -- why are the OpenSolaris and Solaris 11 Express installs faster/more stable? Is it a hardware incompatibility issue? How can I determine the root cause and fix it?
    Thanks.

    Alan, if the cause is a 5400 RPM drive, I'm not sure why when I boot into my older BEs for Opensolaris/Solaris 11 Express/OpenIndiana I see much better ZFS performance. After I upgraded to 11.1 I noticed slowness and went back to my old Boot Environments and generated the dd read/write speeds I put in the top post, so it's not like any of the hardware changed during that hour I was bench marking between BEs nor did the amount of space used in my zpool change (it is mostly empty and I deleted everything that I wrote with dd after each test).

  • Oracle: slow performance with SELECT using ojdbc14 and connection pooling

    Hello,
    i'm working hard the last days to solve a performance problem with our customer using a oracle 10g database. For testing I used our oracle 9.2.0.1.0 database which shows the same symptoms. All doing solved nothing: the performance while using this oracle is much slower than other databases. This result I cannot trust and so I need some advice. What is missing to improve the performance on the java side?
    The webapplication I use runs fast on MySQL 4.x and SQLServer 2000, but on the above mentioned Oracle it was always 4 times slower. The webapplication uses a lot of simple SELECT-Statements without complicated joins and so on (because it should run on many different databases). Doing some days of creating tests within this webapplication, I was not able to find any entrance point for a change. All databases server I'm using, having only the default configurations after a common installation.
    To reduce the complexity I wrote a simple java application with connection pooling using only the latest libraries from apache-commons(dbcp, pool), and the latest ojdbc14 for oracle 9.2.
    First the results than the code: MySQL needed less than 1000 millisecond, SQLServer around 1000 milliseconds and Oracle over 2000 milliseconds. I stopped pooling and the results are for Oracle even worse: over 18000 milliseconds (mysql:2500, sqlserver:4100).
    I changed the classes for Oracle and used the class oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleConnectionCacheImpl from the ojdbc14-library. No difference (around 100 milliseconds more or less).
    The only Select-Statement works on this table, which has one index on HICTGID.
    It contains 259 entrances.:
    CREATE TABLE HIERARCHYCATEGORY (
      HICTGID                 NUMBER (19)   NOT NULL,
      HICTGLEVEL              NUMBER (10)   NOT NULL,
      HICTGEXTID              NUMBER (19)   NOT NULL,
      HICTGEXTPARENTID        NUMBER (19)   NOT NULL,
      HICTGNAME               VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL
    );The application simply loops through this table using
    SELECT Hictgid, Hictgname FROM HIERARCHYCATEGORY WHERE HICTGID = ?, but I always open a connection before this query and closes this connection afterwards. So I use the pooling as much as possible. That's all SQL I'm using.
        protected static DataSource setupDataSource(String sDriver, String sUrl, String sUser, String sPwd) throws SQLException {
            BasicDataSource ds = new BasicDataSource();
            ds.setDriverClassName(sDriver);
            ds.setUsername(sUser);
            ds.setPassword(sPwd);
            ds.setUrl(sUrl);
            // The maximum number of active connections:
            ds.setMaxActive(3);
            // The maximum number of active connections that can remain idle in the pool,
            // without extra ones being released, or zero for no limit:
            ds.setMaxIdle(3);
            // The maximum number of milliseconds that the pool will wait (when there are no available connections)
            // for a connection to be returned before throwing an exception, or -1 to wait indefinitely:
            ds.setMaxWait(3000);    
            return ds;
        }I can switch by using external properties between three databases (oracle, mysql and sqlserver) and if I want I can switch pooling off. And all actions I'm interested are logged by Log4J.

    databaseConnection=jdbc:mysql://localhost/testdb
    jdbcDriver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
    dbUsername=testusr
    dbPassword=testpwdThanks for your reading and maybe for your help.

    A few comments.
    There is of course another difference between your test cases then just the database. There is also the driver. And I suspect that in at least the case with the jtds driver it is helping you along where you are doing something silly and the Oracle driver is not.
    Before I explain the next part I would say the speed differences between MS-SQL and MySQL look about right I think you are aiming here for MS-SQL level performance not MySQL. (For a bunch of reasons MySQL is inherently faster but there are MANY drawbacks as well which have been well discussed on previous threads)
    Here is where I believe your problem lies
    while (lNextBottom <= lNextCeiling) {
                     con = getConnection();
                     innerSelStmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT Hictgid, Hictgname FROM HIERARCHYCATEGORY WHERE HICTGID = ?");
                     innerSelStmt.setLong(1, lNextBottom);
                     rsInner = innerSelStmt.executeQuery();
                     if ((rsInner != null) && (rsInner.next())) {
                         sb.append(rsInner.getLong(1) + ", " + rsInner.getString(2) + "\r");
                          if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
                               log.debug("Inner Statement: " + rsInner.getLong(1) + "\r");
                     rsInner.close();
                     con.close();
                     lNextBottom++;
                 }There at least four things that are wrong with above.
    1) Why are you preparing the statement INSIDE the loop. Let us for a moment say that the loop will spin 100 times. That means that you are preparing the same statement 100 times. This is bad. It is also very relevant because for example the Jtds driver is going to be caching the prepared statements you make so that actually while you try and prepare it 100 times it only actually does it once... but in Oracle I don't know what it is doing for sure but if it is preparing on each pass well than that bit of it is going take 100 times longer then it should.
    2) You are opening and closing the connection on each pass through the loop... also a terrible idea. You need to fix this first so that you can repeatedly use the same prepared statement.
    3) Why are you looping in the first place? More on this later.
    4) Where do you close the PreparedStatement? It doesn't look like you do.
    Okay so for starters your loop should look a lot more like this...
    code]
    con = getConnection();
    innerSelStmt = con.prepareStatement("SELECT Hictgid, Hictgname FROM HIERARCHYCATEGORY WHERE HICTGID = ?");
    while (lNextBottom <= lNextCeiling) {
    innerSelStmt.setLong(1, lNextBottom);
    rsInner = innerSelStmt.executeQuery();
    if ((rsInner != null) && (rsInner.next())) {
    sb.append(rsInner.getLong(1) + ", " + rsInner.getString(2) + "\r");
    rsInner.close();
    lNextBottom++;
    innerSelStmt.close();
    con.close();
    I think the code above (and you can put your debug stuff back if you want) which uses ONE connection and ONE prepared Statement will improve your performance dramatically.
    The other question though I would as is why in the hell you are doing 100 or whatever number of queries anyway. This can be done all in ONE query which again will improve performance.
    Your query and such should look like this I think.
    String sql = "SELECT Hictgid, Hictgname FROM HIERARCHYCATEGORY WHERE HICTGID >=? AND HICTGID<=?";
    PreparedStatement ps = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    ps.setLong(1,lNextBottom );
    ps.setLong(2,lNextCeiling);
    ResultSet rs = ps.executeQuery();
    while(rs.next()){
      // your appending to string buffer code goes here
    }and I can't understand why you're not doing that in the first place.

  • Poor performance with 100,000+ songs and 20+ smart playlists

    Collecting music is my thing. I buy and rip a dozen CDs a week in both Apple Lossless and AAC format. I listen to Apple Lossless on my home systems and sync the AAC versions to my iPhone for car listening.
    I have the fastest computer Apple has ever made, an 8-core 3.2ghz Xeon Mac Pro. I have multiple eSATA 1.5TB drives with a RocketRaid Mini-SAS to PCI Express SATA II controller. My iTunes directory and music are all on external drives.
    Problem is, whenever I'm tagging tracks, deleting tracks, or even just changing the name of a song, I constantly get the spinning beach ball for a couple of seconds before control returns to me. This is highly annoying. I understand with every change, iTunes probably has to check to update all my Smart Playlists (I need to keep Live Updating turned on), but with an 8-core Xeon, why is this an issue? This machine can edit HD video but can't handle a big chunk of text processing? Is iTunes not multi-threaded to use all 8 cores?
    If anyone can help me speed up my process, I would save probably an hour a day.

    hello
    i dont have an answer to the question since i am struggeling with a similar problem. my library is on an external FW 800, 500 GB+. I have done some test and i found that itunes never uses more than 20% of my CPU power, even if itunes is all the OS is handling.
    so my conclusion is, that the priority level is not high enough, cos i believe as you also prove with your mac pro machine, the power isnt the issue, but the priority set for the CPU to handle itunes.
    i read that the only way to change prio levels in os x is to use smtg called "renice" and fool around in terminal. i am too novice to try anything like that, so i m left with the beachball and hope for an itunes pro or a support for large libs in an update
    cheers

  • Intermittent network performance with WRE54G on Vista, and no Xbox 360 connectivity

    I bought a WRE54G this week to help with some network dead spots in my home after moving house.
    So far I've only had no real success - configuration seemed to take a while to work through (by the time I got the WPA PSK worked out) but now I at least have 2 blue lights on the device all the time.
    On my Windows Vista Business laptop (Toshiba Tecra M400 with latest drivers) in my office (a deadspot) I can connect to the network and WirelessMon reports consistent signal strength of 60% with occasional drops to 40%. However although the connection seems to remain constant, connectivity is not. I seem to suffer severe degredation of network connectivity - streamed video will not buffer correctly and times out; connections to my corporate Exchange server are not retained. My guess is that the laptop is doing something like switching between the router WiFi network and the WRE54G network, although i I switch off the WRE54G I lose all network connectivity to my latptop in my office.
    On my xbox 360 (using the Microsoft XBox 360 wireless network adaptor) I am also having problems. Once or twice I have successfully been given an IP address and then failed to get DNS servers. This evening I don't even get an IP address.
    I'm stuck - I've tried a LOT of things and not achieved any luck. Can anyone suggest anything, or do I have a faulty range expander.
    Details below....
    My ADSL router is an SMCWBRA79042 which does support WDS. All the devices in my house worked correctly with this router in my old house before introducing the WRE54G.
    I use WPA PSK, TKIP. However I've also tried to get things working without any security at all, and then adding in security functionality afterwards.
    I have already upgraded the firmware on my WRE54G to the latest version on the linksys web site.
    I have tried using different channels. Initially I was on 8 (it was a free channel in my neighbourhood) but also have tried 11 and am now on 6.
    I have tried changing the beacon to 50 and reducing the RTS and fragmentation thresholds to 2250.

    Hi
         Have u checked the compatibility of manufacturer's of these two devices i.e ADSL Router & Range Expander ( IMP * version No of WRE54G ) .
    Cheers. !

  • Best performance with forms 4.5 than 6i ?!!!

    Hi,
    Since i'd upgrade my app with forms 6i, i find that when i make a query, this is more slow with 6i than 4.5, with the same db(8i).
    Does anyone else had the same problem?
    What could i do to resolve the problem?
    Thanks.

    See my earlier posting 'Speeding load time of WEB Forms50'. I
    have had no takers yet on a solution to this. There may be some
    hints for you there.
    Good luck on this one - Forms over the WEB seems to be very
    processor and memory hungry. We would like to support about 200
    users on a VERY simple search screen, but we need about 2Gbyte
    of physical memory on the server to get any amount of useful
    speed out of it. Each Forms session takes up about 10Mbyte on
    the server - as soon as this starts swapping out to disk then
    your run-time performance goes right downhill. The earlier-
    mentioned posting gives some hints on speeding up the startup
    time, and it does work.
    Regards,
    Jason Judge

    When do I know if my iphone will switch to wifi and not that it costs somemoney to my phone network operator? is there a spec setting I must do.
    Or is it enough to have the phone set to wifi and phone connects directlywhen it makes contact with a wifi network?

    Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
    I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
    Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
    Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
    How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
    Sync Contacts:
    Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

  • 5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    5th generation ipod not detected by my windows xp.  works fine on other pc.  performed necessary steps to remove and reinstall itunes but having same issue. is there a driver i can download to pc then direct to that specific location when installing?

    I have a similar issue - my iPod nano connects and is visible in Device Manager yet invisible in My Computer and iTunes. I've tried everything I can possibly think of to try and solve this myself, all in vain.
    Mine is a nano 4G. I've been using it for quite some time without the slightest problem. I have been using WINAMP instead of iTunes to manage my darling nano.
    Then, one fine day I bought a new computer and the nano would not show up in My Computer, though the nano display shows "Do not disconnect". On my old computer it worked (and still works) absolutely fine with win XP as well as with win7 (the later I currently use on my new/problematic computer, which I bought last summer and that's how long I've had this problem).
    Of course, after several first attempts I gave up and installed iTunes. I've tried using the Apple support article "iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows":
    - reset
    - fully charged,
    - cable works fine on two other computers
    - in normal or disk mode makes no difference
    - tried to find anything useful in the diagnostics mode
    - reinstalled iTunes several different times since then to the latest version
    - I've unplugged every other USB device except for my mouse and keyboard and tried several different USB ports on my motherboard (USB 3.0 and conventional), as well as trying different USB- related options in my BIOS.
    - I've never used any Mac with this ipod
    - I've tried fiddling with the win7 Services by stopping and restarting them and of course
    - uninstalling the iPod drivers in Device Manager. After such an uninstall the ipod would automatically be recognised and "ready for use", i.e. being invisible in My Computer.
    - Attempted to find any possible third-party conflict with msconfig or the possibility that my ipod is being confused for a network drive (for which I've disconnected my HDD, leaving only my SSD with the OS).
    Sometimes, iTunes would note that iPod service (or something, can't remember exactly) failed to install properly and asked to try and repair it. I would click YES! and voila - no change! The ipod would rarely show up in iTunes on my problematic computer like this:
    iTunes would warn me that the nano would need restoring so I would try and do it on my haunted machine upon which iTunes would freeze like you seen in the picture.
    Despite this, I've updated and restored the nano on my father's computer to the latest version without any problems. This though, did not solve my problem in any way.
    I can load music to my nano through my old computer (which for me is a real pain and hassle) and the gadget works normally in terms of its disconnected functionality.
    I've taken my nano to the local service for repair and they said it was fine. Mercifully, they didn't charge for the diagnostics service (gee, thanks for not ripping me off!).
    Here are two screengrabs from my Device Manager
    and Devices and Printers screens on my comp:
    That is my sad story as far as I can remember. It's most likely something with the drivers or something along those lines though I'm out of ideas at this point.
    If you think you have any idea PLEASR HELP, I'M DESPERATE!

  • Expose an orchestration as WCF service with a Request-Response port set to Direct Binding

    Hello , 
      I'm trying to expose an orchestration as a WCF service (while the Request-Response port is set to Direct binding) . Is this possible ? (the issue will be correlating back the response to the synchronous WCF request after the response is posted back
    to the Message Box by the Direct Send logical port).
    I have no problem in exposing the orchestration while I'm setting the Binding port to 'Specify Later' (What I'm trying to do actually is to expose a orchestration using different adapters (like Http and Wcf ) in the same time ).
    Thanks

    Yes, you can publish an orchestration as WCF/Web service which has direct bound request-response port.
    Subscription works based on “EpmRRCorrelationToken”
    and “RouteDirectToTP”. When you enlist the orchestration which
    has the direct bound request-response port (also published as service), its subscription are based on above two context properties and they take care of correction.
    And also the response matches to the request part of the port due to the nature of two-way communication protocol.
    Create an Orchestration with direct-bound request-response port and publish it as service. This will work. Give it a try
