Physical adapters go missing after being applied to Logical Switch

I have an existing VMM 2012 environment that has been working without trouble for quite some time. We're doing a domain migration, so I created a cluster on the new domain and added it to my old VMM environment to make the transfer of guests easier.
I an having trouble with creating Virtual Switches on the two new hosts in the new cluster. Essentially, I create a new logical switch using the configuration set up for the other existing servers and add two physical adapters to it. It's configured identically
to my other two clusters. After I apply the changes, the switch is created and the NICs are teamed (verified in nic teaming console) but the physical adapters disappear both from the just-configured switch but also the hardware tab. Trying to connect a VM
to this results in "not specified" being displayed in the connectivity field (browsing yields nothing).
I'm hoping I simply missed something since it's been ages since I had to build a new cluster but a side by side comparison seems to indicate the old/new clusters are configured similarly.
Thanks.

why reinvent the wheel use rman deletion?Will you please clear that how RMAN will identify the applied logs?
Are you talking about archive deletion policy?
If this the solution, then this didn't work fine for me (10.2.0.4), you may check this out for 11.1.0.7.

  • Middle C (C4) sustaining after being depressed in Logic Express 8

    My son is having this problem involving a key (C4) sustaining after being depressed in Logic Express 8 only. This problem has only emerged after upgrading from Logic 7. I have sent an email to M-Audio (shown below) and they have agreed to keep me updated. I thought I would post it in the forums in case any one else has observed a similar problem. I would be grateful for any feedback.
    +"Hi Richard,+
    +I am writing to you, on behalf of my son Alexander, as a follow up to his email (sent online and answered by you) attached below.+
    +First of all thank you for your reply to his online enquiry. I am responding for him since I believe I have isolated the problem. First of all, the KEYSTATION PRO 88 keyboard is OK. There seems to be a conflict between Logic Express 8 and the M-Audio Firewire Audiophile driver. The sustain problem with middle C (C4) only happens with the Audiophile connected. Alex is using it to route digital audio o/p from his Powerbook to Roland DS 30 A studio monitors. If we listen to the audio via the Powerbook's headphone socket, then the sustain problem is not there. Everything works fine. I have tried a KEYSTATION 49e keyboard and this acts in exactly the same way as the KEYSTATION PRO 88. Middle C (C4) sustains when depressed, when the Audiopile is connected. Both keyboards can't be faulty! I believe there could be a conflict between the Audiophile driver and Logic Express 8. He has updated the driver to the latest version, but the problem remains. Logic Express 7 works OK (it always has).+
    +I called TJ on the number you provided and he has logged my call as a possible issue. Is it possible for you to replicate the problem in your lab? Perhaps you can advise a fix, otherwise Alex will have to go back to Logic Express 7. I have also advised Apple, but it is their policy not to give feedback. They would probably say that it was an M-Audio problem anyway. I would be interested to know if you have had any other enquiries regarding this.+
    +I look forward to hearing from you+
    +Kind regards+
    +Eric Lovat+
    +(on behalf of Alexander Lovat)"+

    Alex uninstalled Logic Express 8, then re-installed it. The problem seems to have disappeared. I hope for good. I may have posted this too hastily, but if someone else has a similar problem, then maybe reading this thread will fix it.

  • "Java-Bean: True" missing after being packed in jar file

    Hi All
    X86, Windows XP Professional, J2SDK 1.4.2
    I complied a section of code ", which is from << Thinking In Java>>(3rd).
    Created a manifest file "BangBean.tmp"
    <<
    Name: bangbean/BangBean.class
    Java-Bean: True
    >>
    And then packed class files into "BangBean.jar" with command
    "jar cfm BangBean.jar Bang BangBean.tmp bangbean".
    It's puzzling that "Java-Bean: Ture" was missing in the "BangBean.jar/META-INF/MENIFEST.MF" .
    <<
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Created-By: 1.4.2 (Sun Microsystems Inc.)
    Name: bangbean/BangBean.class

    What's more, after altering the"BangBean.tmp" into this
    <<
    Java-Bean: True
    Name: bangbean/BangBean.class
    >>
    and had a another try.
    I got a jar file with such MENIFEST.MF.

    Manifest-Version: 1.0

    This jar file worked well in BDK's beanbox.
    I've test it with JSDK 1.5.0, the same thing happened.
    And I didn't encounter such problem in other bean programs.
    I've searched " 'Java-Bean: True' missing " with google, but didn't get proper answers.
    Is there anybody who can give a prompt about why this happend?

    Since you didn't use code-formatting tags ([ code ] and [ /code ] without the spaces) it's kinda hard to look at it. But I'm sure it DID execute much more than just the return statement - maybe you're not closing a file or db connection, or maybe you're seeing a cached page, so it actually isn't executing ANYTHING on the server (is your browser set to never check for newer pages so it (almost) always returns from cache, for example?)

  • Rules in Mail not being applied after Mavericks update

    Hi everyone, I know there are a lot of threads already discussing similar issues, but so far I've been unable to find one that helps resolve my particular issue. Ever since upgrading to Mavericks my rules are not being applied in Mail. I will give you a screenshot of one of my rules:
    I have about five rules that follow the same pattern: search for particular string in the FROM field and mark it with a color if the string is present. These rules all worked fine in Snow Leopard. All of my rules are still present after the upgrade and all checked as active. When I "select all" messages in my inbox and press Option-Cmd-L the rules are applied properly. However, the rules are not applying themselves when new mail comes in. As far as I can tell this does not have anything to do with the mail not being recognizes “as a new message” like, for example, because the mail was already read on my phone. It happens even if my other devices are offline and the only thing I am using to check mail is my laptop.
    I am using a MacBook Pro 2.3 GHz Intel Core Duo with OS X 10.9.1, in case that matters.
    Thanks for any advice!

    I think I've found at least a partial solution to the Mail - Rules Don't Work problem:
    In "Mail" go to the menu Mailbox and click on Rebuild.
    If you have a lot of stuff, this will take several minutes to finish.
    I also reviewed all my rules and made a few minor changes.
    Mixed results:  I found that running "Apply Rules" didn't work on email already received; but new mail did.  I don't quite understand that, but I call it a partial success.

  • Security constraints not being applied after using custom login module

    I am using form based authentication and I applied the custom login module - DBProcLoginModule to work with the embedded OC4J (JDeveloper 10.1.3.2). I have specified two security contraints in web.xml. The authentication is working correctly, however the security contraints are not being applied. All users are able to access all url resources. The security constraints were working properly before applying the custom login module. Pls help.
    Leena

    Hi,
    if "All users are able to access all url resources" then this indicates that the RL isn't properly protected. If the authorization would fail then noone would have access and you would see error code 401
    Make sure the role names in web.xml are the same as added by the LoginModule. Also make sure you set the dynamic.role property and the custom security provider property in the orion-application.xml
    <jazn provider="XML">
         <property name="custom.loginmodule.provider" value="true"/>
         <property name="role.mapping.dynamic" value="true"/>
    </jazn>
    Note that the above is not required (because done automatically) if the custom LoginModule configuration is deployed through the orion-application.xml file

  • SCEP going out to the internet after being migrated to SCCM 2012 and saturating facility MPLS.

    I was unaware of the fact that SCEP was gonig out to the internet to pull down 120 megs worth of data each time a client is migrated. I'm trying to determine the easiest or best way to avoid this. I've done some research and it looks like bundeling the SCEP
    policy with the migration package might work. I also saw some tool that you can use to add a SCEP update rollup to the package. Ultimately if i could just get the exact URL the clients are going out to our networking team could apply QoS to this URL. Unfortunately
    though it appears in the MPCMDRUN.log to go to go.microsoft.com/fwlink, but on the networking side in pathview i seen the client ends up going to Akamai.
    I'm assuming MS offloads their web traffic to Akamai and that first link is redirected, if that is even the right link. Does anyone know a way i can prevent this while still getting the client up to date. This entire time I thought the clients would pull
    what they needed from the SCCM 2012 env. I'm using ADR to push the definitions and that seems to be working fine except for 2 situations. One a client is migrated, or 2 the client comes online after being offline for more than 7 days and goes out.
    Either way if someone could provide me with the URL for throttling or a better method for deploying I would be very grateful. So far we've migrated about 8 thousand clients and have about another 10 thousand to go. The majority of the clients have local
    pull DPs, and if further details of my infrastructure would be helpful please just let me know.
    Thanks,
    -KR

    Jorgen,
    I appreciate you pointing out the setting and that has helped partially and I was able to track down the URL that is being used by the clients for QoS by networking. Now management has pushed back with why are the clients going to the internet at all. I
    can understand why. If were deploying all the patches why can't the clients pull their SCEP engine from the SUP/WSUS server. I see it finding it in the MPCMDRUN.Log file but it still goes out to Microsoft to pull the 120 meg file. Do i not have any other options
    for pushing the engine to the clients, if ADR is working for current clients what am i missing. I'm sure its something obvious, but my migration is on hold up until I can keep the clients from going to the internet for their new engine and deltas. 
    Any help you could provide i would very much appreciate. Thanks again Jorgen.

  • My laptop shutoff off after being fully charged and wont turn back on

    I am in a foreign country and my laptop has been working fine with an adapter. Two days ago, after being fully charged, my laptop shut off and wouldn't turn back on. The battery died and I tried a friends charger to see if it was a problem with the computer or charger and the new burger worked. So I spent the money on a new charger and now the same thing has happened. After being charged it shut off and my new charger has a dim light just like what happened the first time. Any ideas?

    Hello there, ChristenC.

  • Null offset from calibration not being applied to output

    I am measuring some load cells using a I 9237.  I am setting the null offset using Device > Bridge Calibration in the DAQ Assistant.  I measure the offet and hit calibrate.  It says "Calibration successful" and I hit finish, but the offset value is not applied to the data.
    How do I get this to work?

    Hello IamRubber,
    How can you see the calibration not being applied?  Are you running the same DAQ Assistant to see the offset?  If possible, please attach a screenshot from before/after running bridge calibration.

  • Will Not Copy After Being Idle

    THIS IS A COPYING ISSUE!!!  After installing the upgraded version of Comcast's latest modem/router, our HP 6550 would not print.  I contacted Comcast and reported the difficulty and they informed me it was a printer problem - not their new modem.  Consequently, we purchased a new HP 5740 printer  The printing function worked fine and it would copy immediatley after the printer was turned on, however, after the printer sat idle for a couple of hours, the copy function would not work.  If you then turned the printer off and immediately turned it back on, it would copy.  Again, Comcast reiterated it was a printer problem.   I returned the original 5740 back to the store from which it was purchased and exchanged it for another HP 5740 printer.  After hooking up the second HP 5740, the same problems with copying occurred.  I returned the second HP 5740 to the dealer for a refund and left town for three months.  We recently returned and purchased a HP ENVY 7645 printer from another dealer.  We are having the same issues with this printer as we had with the two previous HP 5740 printers.  I discussed the situation with a level II supervisor at Comcast and he arranged for a new modem/router to be brought to the house and installed by a technician.  The installation occurred today and we are still experiencing exactly the same problem.  The Comcast technician who installed the new modem/router (who couldn't wait around while the printer sat idle) said that if the problems occurs after the installation, we should purchase a printer/copier from another manufacturer - or turn our printer "off and then on" when we want to copy.   He also asid that if this problem does continue after the new modem/router is installed, it definitely won't be a Comcast problem.  DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I SHOULD GO FROM HERE?

    Hi @lamoso,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that your HP Envy 7645 will not copy after being idle. I am happy to look into this for you!
    I believe this is happening due to the printer going into sleep mode. As the options are for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes for sleep mode to activate. I would recommend trying a hard reset, by going to this post,How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    After the hard reset, I would then make sure the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
    Let's see what happens after giving these two steps a try!

  • Driver Pack No Longer Being Applied During Task Sequence

    Hi all,
    So... this week a really strange issue manifested itself. I've been trawling through logs for the last day and I don't seem to be getting anywhere.
    A task sequence, which has been working for months and hasn't been changed, all of a sudden decided to start throwing error code 0x87D00269 yesterday. It was at the stage where applications that are installed during the task sequence started to
    install.
    So after a looking into the error, it seems the machines are unable to download the packages, possibly through not being joined to the domain. At this stage in the task sequence, the machine should definitely be joined to the domain. We have
    the command support console enabled, so I hit F8 and tried to ping the MP and the DP. Nothing. Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter. Very odd. So I checked the NIC on the back of the machine and it was up, so I booted from the task sequence
    media USB stick again and hit f8. Ran ipconfig and the machine had picked up an address from DHCP no problem and shortly after, the task sequences available to the machine loaded. So I started the task sequence again and it started fine, formatted
    the disk, downloaded the W7 pro x86 image, applied it, downloaded the driver pack and seemingly applied the drivers (according to the task sequence), then the machine rebooted. It started to go through the installing drivers phase (the black screen
    with the sunrise), which seemed to take a longer than normal. The machine rebooted and sat at the applying settings stage for a long while, which also seemed odd and I remarked the graphics drivers didn't seem to be installed because the screen resolution
    was set really low. Of course at this stage, F8 doesn't work so I waited until just before the applications started to install again. Pressed F8, ran ipconfig and no IP address. So rather than wait for the task sequence to fail again, I manually powered off
    the machine and powered it back on.
    So the machine boots, still with the low resolution, comes to the login screen and at this point, it's clear the machine hasn't joined the domain. I logged in with local admin account and it became clear none of the drivers had installed from the driver
    pack. This is a driver pack that has run absolutely fine for months and as far as I'm aware, nothing has changed so I'm a little bit confused as to why it would just stop working.
    I can't see anything in the smsts log that would explain what's happening and I've looked through the dism log but I can't find anything relevant in there.
    Any ideas on where to go? This is happening on multiple machines of the same type.

    Hi,
    0x87D00269  CCM_E_REQ_MP_NOTFOUND
    Ran ipconfig, nothing listed under the adapter.
    These evidence indicate that no network driver in boot image. Is this a customized boot image? Is the machine a new model?
    Press F8, run wpeinit to initialize network. If this is not working, re-add driver to boot image and try again.
    Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and unmark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact [email protected]
    Hi Daniel,
    The boot image hasn't been modified and this machine is the exact same model as one built just a few weeks ago, with the exact same hardware. I know this because I've compared the hardware IDs of the devices side by side and they're identical.
    I'm sorry but I don't follow. This issue only occurs after the driver pack downloads and (allegedly) applies. Up to that point, the machine has connectivity to the DP/MP and downloads and runs the first sections of the task sequence without issue. If I hit
    F8 prior to the drivers being applied, I have my adapter listed and, of course, an IP address. That to me suggests the generic drivers already in the boot image work fine and don't need to be altered.

  • Windows 7 64 bit won't resume after being locked

    Hello,
    My Windows 7 Pro computer will not resume after being locked.
    I use a Domain controller based on Windows server 2008 R2, and if I login with my username on any other PC, I do not have this Problem.
    When I lock it to go out for some reason, it won't resume at all. I left it on the welcome screen for an hour or so, and it didn't start.
    Do you guys have any idea what might be causing this ?
    Thank you very much for your help

    If this behavior is not exhibited on any other systems in your environment, I believe it's safe to assume the issue is with the local client.
    First things first: check that you have the latest drivers for your system. I know this seems like a canned answer, but I've seen hundreds of cases where a missing or legacy disk controller driver causes all manner of strange behavior on an otherwise healthy
    system.
    Years ago, when SSDs first starting becoming popular, I purchased a handful of them from a specific vendor. We started seeing issues with resuming from S3 sleep that confounded us for months. We found out that the vendor used a specific brand and chipset
    on their SSD controllers that wound up causing firmware faults when Windows was resumed; even to the point that we had to shut down the PC, unplug it, and let the caps drain before we could boot it again!
    We wound up replacing the drives with a more mainstream/popular brand and the issues never happened again, but the problem was hardware related. Your post reminded me of those few months of confusion.
    Check that all of your drivers are up to date, esp. disk and video, and don't rely on the Microsoft generic drivers. If you can find the drivers for your mobo/gfx cards, prefer that route.

  • Addressbook and old mail gone missing after renaming my macbook

    Hey there,
    i just inherited my dad's macbook after being a troubled win user for years. I renamed it and figured that the desktop items were missing and so were addressbook, old accounts and all old mail. i found the old desktop items but can't find the mail items.
    Can anyone help?

    What exactly did you rename? The home folder? or did you create a new user?
    Files, preferences, data within an application such as Mail or ical or safari are associated with a particular user. If you log in as a new user or if you change the name of the home folder you will loose that "link" and may not locate "old" data at log in.
    I suggest you rename the home folder or whatever you renamed and then look at this link:

    any help will be more than appreciated.

    I have also seen this problem.
    My fix for it was to get the iCal package off the install CD.
    To do this, download a program called Pacifist. What it does is it reads the install disc, and finds all the packages that the programs are in.
    It is really handy for installing individual apps.
    Once you have extracted the package, install it as usual. Then you should see all you data back in iCal, until it breaks again.
    Note: This is not really a fix, rather a way to get iCal working again.
    I have also seen this problem happen when there was no update done, or rather the update was done a month before the problem occurred. This was a real fail update by apple and i hope they make a fix for it in the next update, although now that Snow Leopard is out, your probably won't wee any more fixes, as they will be too busy patching up 10.6, already up to 10.6.2
