Hi,
As I know, you need to create an Azure VM with IIS installed to host your 8 web application, create an azure oracle VM to host BI server, and create an Azure SQL Server VM to host your 4 database, for Scheduler service, please try to use Azure Scheduler
service:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/services/scheduler/Azure Notification Hubs provide an easy-to-use infrastructure that enables you to send mobile push notifications from any backend (in the cloud or on-premises) to any mobile platform, see
more: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj927170.aspx
Please try to estimate your bill at azure pricing calculator:

Can't install drivers and software for hp c7180 on virtual machine with no USB port

I have a virtual machine running Windows XP to use some old software that isn't compatible with Windows-7. I also would like to print to my HP C7180 all-in-one printer from the XP VM. I downloaded the entire 520MB app and driver package, and then just the 72MB driver package, but both give me errors stating:
This system does not meet one or more of the minimum requirements needed to install this product. The installation cannot continue.
Requirement/Details and Guidance
USB Drivers/This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The installation cannot continue until this is resolved.
USB Hardware/Required Action: Click Cancel to exit this software installation. In order to install this device as a USB device, please refer to your computer documentation or USB add-in card documentation for more information about USB drivers.
I don't want to do a USB installation, but a Network installation as this all-in-one is connected only to my network.
Is there any way to force this software (with an option/switch) to only do a network installation? It never gets to the part where it asks what type of install where you can choose USB or Through the Network.
A link to where I can simply download the drivers that would allow me to print only would work as I can create a local LPR printer port using the printer's IP address.
Please advise...

Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix

I am trying to document a process �Process for setting up new directories and files on Unix batch servers�.
Developer will be developing project on Windows and I need tell them as well as QA team how the Unix directory and file structure.
Please let me know how is the process in Unix on AIX.
If I get some documentation regarding this it will be useful.
Thanks in advance

well on unix/Linux/solaris there are no drives but storage heirarchy starts with a root directory represented with ' / '. and all files and directories are created in root directoy like
/usr/local/bin
/export/home/san
etc
also filesystem of unix consists iNodes rathar than FAT entries as in case of Windows.

We currently have a subscription that allows the programs on two computers, but now I need 5 computers to be updated with CC.

Hi,
I presume that the new configuration is missing some parts as you seem to have the IP address of the external interface configured staticly on the interface but you have not configured any default route on the firewall? (Original configuration got default route dynamically and added it to the routing table)
You also mentioned that you were able to connect to the Internet which would indicate there was indeed a default route with the new configuration?
I am a bit confused about the host mask on the external interface (/32 - 255.255.255.255) ? Does the ASA really let you configure a host address on the interface? It can't lead anywhere as there is no next hop with a host mask. I think the ASA even blocks using a /31 mask link network which works with Cisco Routers.
I guess I would go through the basic troubleshooting step when the new configuration is in use
Check logs for any blocked connections or error messages
Check the Static PAT (Port Forward) configuration with the "packet-tracer" command
Capture traffic on the ASAs external interface (with the ASA itself) and confirm that you are seeing the TCP SYN of any connection attempts, or perhaps capture ICMP

Is it valuable for processor(CPU) to use the instruction set of java virtual machine?

I've got an idea that processor(CPU) would use an instruction set like java virtual machine instead of assembly language whose instruction includes MOV ,INC ,ADD AX, ....
Thus this type of processor(CPU) can support any java program just like Windows with a java virtual mache software package.
Thus the operating system like Android, Windows Phone can be writen in Java. For embeding system with no operating system , programs can also be writen in Java directly.

Well, this is rather off-topic but… Sun once designed a Java-Core that was running Java natively, but they never went anywhere with it. Java code, when created well, runs reasonably fast. It seems just that most of todays programmers don't know, what they're doing, when they're writing Java code.

Question on potential configurations for resource cluster as virtual machine server / beowulf / render farm

I am looking for a starting point on where to focus my efforts in researching a desired configuration. Of course anyone who spends anytime researching in forums knows that one thing that people hate is for people
to ask questions that can be easily answered with a simple Google search, so let me start by saying I have done many hours of research on this already. The problem I am having is that although there is a huge amount of information out there on what I
am looking to do, I don't believe many people have attempted this on as small of a scale as a single user system. Also, the amount of routes to go down seems endless, which for me so far has led to many hours of wasted trial and error. So keep
in mind that I am not so much looking for a handout on answers but rather a more narrowed path of searching and researching.
What I am looking to do is take the current equipment that I have and consolidate it into a 9-12U server rack using mounted 2 or 3U atx cases so that I can have a more organized, space saving setup. That is the
easy part, what I have been looking into though is the combining of cores and processing power to make a "super computer" yet I use this term very loosely. From what I have read, the closest thing I can compare the idea in my head to is referred
to as a Beowulf Cluster, or a Render farm but I believe as the name suggests that this is more dedicated to a single task of rendering. I like the idea of a virtual machine server where I would never actually locally use this machine but rather set up
many virtual machines that I can remote into. I started to compile a ProxMox Server, and this was the right idea, however when running a VM, that VM is constrained to the hardware resources of the single node that it is assigned to. If there is
a way to be able to have a machine that would utilize the 20 some odd cores that I would have in the cluster, along with the 40-50 gigs of ram, well that would be ideal but sounds too good to be possible. Also, ProxMox isnt quite there in compatibility for
a home/home office user. I understand that the programs that are used have to be written in a way where the architecture allows for such, but if it could even be used for speeding up my render time with Adobe and Autodesk (which I know do have such functionality)
that would be wonderful.
So without writing a whole book I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed. Can I literally build a "super computer" that is not really that super... more mediocre super... or am I better off just consolidating the hardware but not the
OS's and programs. Also, I do currently use three or four different distros of Linux, mostly for ethical hacking and security type work like pen testing. One thing I have never been a fan of though is dual booting. Perhaps investing
in a hot-swap HDD chassis that I could load all the different OS's on where I could just pop in whatever OS I am looking to use. As you can see I am far from knowing where to spend my efforts in research.... THANK YOu for ANY help.
I was recently suggested Microsoft HPC Pack as a platform? Anything?
Here is what I currently have:
these are all fully built)

ASUS Sabertooth Z87 MoBo
Autodesk - Inventor, Revit, 3Ds Max, Maya, Fusion 360, Flow, etc.
Adobe - PhotoShop, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc.
Basically as you can see this is used for my work in 3d modeling, rendering, and drafting along with 3D printing.

Nothing Special - this is the one I was using for school work but being that school and programming became one and the same I have all but abandoned it.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO HAS MADE IT THIS FAR in reading this.

The cluster works only for standalone webcache and httpserver installations types.
If you want to do this you have to use dcmctl command to change from one farm to another.
try checking with dcmctl command with out options an dyou will get a full list of options.
then run dcmctl usage(orhelp) option to see what you need.
As far as I remember
you have to check the farm id of the server you want to be the master
then in the second, you have to run dcmctl joinfarm or something like that.
Regards.

Btw I finally managed to create a new VM wi/ VHD but still can't create new vhd

the physical quad core Xenon server for backup dns also works as exchange server
has 12 GB RAM, 931 GB Raid 5 storage with 325 GB free.

These actions are not performed in the security context of the user. The Local System / computer account of the Hyper-V Server is what needs the access, not the user.
Also, many AV products will cause these problems if the exclusions are not set properly, as they block the hypervisor from doing its job.

Hyper V: No Option to Create New Virtual Machine

After selecting my local computer as the virtualization server, there is no option to create a new virtual machine. When I right-click on my server, I only get "Remove Server", "View>", and "Help"
in the drop-down menu. According to the tutorials that I've watched, this is where "New>Virtual Machine..." should appear. What am I doing wrong?
My machine:
Win 8.1 Pro, 64-bit
Intel Core i5-3470
RAM 8192
Graphics: GTX 660

You need to enable Virtualization under CPU / Advance settings in your BIOS. Your motherboard must support hardware virtualization in order for this feature to be available in the BIOS. If you don't see this option then, your hardware (motherboard)
is not compatible nor support.

my understand is: "we can use Hyper v, instead of Virtual box or as VMware player". I think in windows 8, hyper v server is not installed. does that is the problem? Why do we use it ?
Actually I wanna configure Kernel Debugging over Virtualized COM port. So what can I do next ? please help me...
Note: Virtual Machine Management service is running.

Hi mrCracker,
>>am using windows 8, 64 bit system inside VMWARE in Ubuntu 14.04 .
If I understand correctly , it is nested installation .
Windows Hyper-v is bare-metal hypervisor .
Please try to install win8 on real hardware then enable hyper-v to install VM .

What are the new pricing and fees for Cs6?

What will I be forced to pay to keep upgrading my Master Collection to the next version (Cs 6)? Can I still purchase Dvd's and install the software on my own computer or will I be forced to move to the non-safe cloud? Where my hardwork can be hacked and stolen! The cloud is worthless to many of us wishing to keep control over copyright and useage rights.I am guessing more people want to keep it the way it is and not shift control over to a hackable cloud. Nothing on the web is safe, so why shift everything over to the cloud and force many of your long time customers to pay monthly fees or the software locks us out. For over 25 years I have bought and paided for Adobe software, where is my monthly kickback for using your software? If this is the wave of the future I guess i have bought my last upgrade!

I think you misunderstand the cloud.
Nobody is going to force you to store your files there. It’s a part of the service that you can use or not use at your own discretion.
As for pricing, if you’re on CS5 or CS5.5 you will be able to buy an upgrade at reduced pricing and continue that route. If you’re on CS4 or earlier you’ll have three choices.
1.       Pay full price for CS5
2.       Move to Creative Cloud for whatever the subscription price is
3.       Stay with what you have.
Hope that helps,
Bob

Installing the New Virtual Machine and XP Mode in Win7x64 on the Intel 2x E5-2620 Architecture (12 cores, 24 cpus)

I have been hibernating quietly at school with an Intel Core Duo T7300 on XP, and have been insulated from the madness of multi-core processors. I gather that there were problems with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Vista under Quad architectures,
but that these eventually got resolved in 2009.
The newer problem is concerned with installing the XP Virtual Machine on Win7x64 with greater than four cores in the cpu architecture. Others have mentioned this problem over this past Summer 2012. The problem is that at the very last step of
the complete install, Win7x64 reports a failure to install the XP Virtual Machine, and with no further comment.
Apparently KB/2519949 gave a temporary (MSFT qualifies this as "temporary") hotfix solution to this problem for AMD 8-core chips in the Bulldozer series. However MSFT cautions that this problem requires further research. This was earlier
this Summer 2012.
My problem is that I have an Intel 2xE5-2620 duo-processor cpu architecture (2x6=12 cores, 24 cpus in Windows). The cpu architecture is both Intel, and with far more than the old standard of four cores. The XP Virtual Machine in Win7x64 will
not install, as described above.
I have an armload of new 64-bit software all of which has installed pristinely in Win7x64 under this 2xE5-2620 Intel architecture. However, I have one very important piece of legacy (latest version incompatible beyond XP type of legacy) technical writing
software that is critical to my PhD thesis. In need the XP Virtual Machine for this, and I have no idea how to get it. My PhD thesis supervisor also needs this particular piece of "legacy" technical writing software for his new book on Probability
Theory.

I have news about this issue with XP Mode on Workstation machines. I have actually known about this for a couple of months, but it has not been until these Christmas 2012 holidays that I have had a chance to follow up with an implementation.
In review, I purchased a Workstation computer for scientific computation purposes this past August 2012. My chipset is an Intel 2x E5-2620 for a total of 12 cores, and it turns out that this was not the problem for XP Mode. My OEM shipped this
machine with Windows 7, but without XP Mode, and there is a reason why.
As an aside, it should be mentioned that the main line MSFT OS, Windows 7 or 8, is what I want for this machine, and not Server 2012. The reason is that most of the scientific computation and technical writing software that I use is written only for
Windows, and not for Server. Then also hopefully Hyper-V can do in Windows 8 most of what XP Mode is doing for me in Windows 7.
My dealer was able to tell me, when he got back from holidays in late September, that the reason that XP Mode failed to install on this Workstation, and the reason it was not included by the OEM, was that the original HDD configuration was for RAID (3 available
bays) and formatted for drives of at least 1TB in size. Although the original HDD installation was only a single HDD with only 500GB, the machine was equipped to have something much larger installed. But this format excluded the possibility of
XP Mode.
So we changed the hard drive installation to something that I preferred. We installed Windows 7 on a 480GB SSD, and I installed all my software on this drive, as well as all my important data. Most importantly, since this drive is less than 1TB,
we could use the MBR format which allows XP mode. Then we also formatted the original HDD of 500GB in MBR, and decided to run it with Intel RST. This second drive is for unimportant data, and large files. For backup we chose a 2TB USB 3.0
external. In this setting, installing Windows XP Mode was easy, as the only thing we needed to do was modify BIOS to enable virtualization which was part of the Intel 2x E5-2620 chipset already.
I am very pleased with XP Mode. The scientific writing software for my thesis that I was worried about does actually run in Windows 7 under compatibility mode, but there have been some huge advantages to installing in in XP Mode as well. I still have licensed
copies of Office 2003, Acrobat Pro 9, and MathType 5.2, and other old software as well. I now have all new software, for example Office 2010 (64-bit), Acrobat Pro 10 (32-bit for 64-bit), and MathType 6.8 (64-bit), and lots of other things. However, now that
I have my scientific wrtiting software (for which the maker has not caught up with Windows Vista/7) installed in XP Mode, I have also installed WORD 2003 with MathType 5.2 in XP Mode. My scientific writing software can translate WORD 2003/MathType 5.2 in RTF
format to LaTeX. So lets hope these guys eventually catch up with Windows 7 and 8.
I am also using XP Mode to archive a large block of my old data from the XP days. I still have licensed copies of the out of date software. And I would rather not update every single old file I have to a current format. So altogether, XP Mode is working
out quite well. It is very fast with my Intel 2x E5-2620 and maximum RAM.
