Problem interconnecting MDS9124 and MDS9120

Hello
We are trying to connect  2 SAN switches .  Details :
cisco MDS 9124 (1 Slot) Chassis
Model number is DS-C9124-K9-SUP
Cisco Nexus Operating System (NX-OS) Software
Software
  BIOS:      version 1.0.19
  loader:    version N/A
  kickstart: version 5.0(1a)
  system:    version 5.0(1a)
cisco MDS 9100
Model number is DS-C9120-K9-SUP
Cisco Storage Area Networking Operating System (SAN-OS) Software
Software
  BIOS:      version 1.1.0
  loader:    version 1.2(2)
  kickstart: version 3.3(5)
  system:    version 3.3(5)
We want to make the  9124 an expansion of the 9120.  Therefore we want to define 2 ports in each switch to mode E, and make an ISL link.
The problem : when we try to define the E port, we get an error :
SW_A(config-if)# switchport mode E
fc1/6: (error) mode E allowed only for interface fc1/5 in group fc1/5-8
We don't want to define port fc1/5  in mode E, because , if we do that port 6,7,8 become unusable.
Any suggestions ?
Thank you.

Hi,
The 9120 has a hardware limitation.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/storage/san_switches/mds9000/sw/rel_3_x/configuration/guides/cli_3_3/intf.html#wp1242298
In the Cisco MDS 9100 Series, the left most groups of ports outlined in white (4 ports in the 9120 switch and 8 ports in the 9140 switch) are full line rate like the 16-port switching module. The other ports (16 ports in the 9120 switch and 32 ports in the 9140 switch) are host-optimized like the 32-port switching module. Each group of 4 host-optimized ports have the same rules as for the 32-port switching module.
When configuring these host-optimized ports, the following port mode guidelines apply:
You can configure only the first port in each 4-port group (for example, the first port in ports 1-4, the fifth port in ports 5-8 and so on) as an E port. If the first port in the group is configured as an E port, the other three ports in each group (ports 2-4, 6-8 and so on) are not usable and remain shutdown.
Since the 9120 (Gen1) is attaching to the 9124 (Gen2), keep this in mind.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/datacenter/mds9000/sw/5_0/release/notes/nxos/mds_nxos_rel_notes_501a.html#wp419251
When a Cisco or other vendor switch port is connected to a Generation 1 module port (ISL connection), the receive buffer-to-buffer credit of the port connected to a Generation 1 module port should not exceed 255.
On the 9124, you may have to configure the interface as...
switchport fcrxbbcredit 255

David

  • Interconnect Repository and Adapters going down frequently

    Hi,
    We are using 9iAs interconnect as messaging middleware between Oracle applications CRM and Main frames systems.
    The 9iAs repository and adapters (DB and http) are going down frequently in Production environment.
    Every time we had an issue of servers going down, we used to restart them.
    Sometimes they are working fine after the first bounce; otherwise we are bouncing them again.
    The behavior is very intermittent.
    We need some suggestions on the following:
    Is there any potential risk involved if we bounce the 9iAs interconnect repository and adapters daily?
    Will there be any impact in the performance if we enable the log level to verbose for all the adapters? (As of now, the log level is set to log only errors)
    Any help in this regard is much appreciated
    Thanks,

  • Problem with JPanel and/or Thread

    Hello all,
    I have the following problem.
    I have a JFrame containing to JPanels. The JPanels are placed
    via BorderLayout.
    JPanel #1 is for moving a little rectangle (setDoubleBufferd), it is
    a self defined object extending JPanel.
    The paint methon in JPanel #1 has been overwritten to do the drawings.
    JPanel #2 contains 4 JButtons, but they have no effect at the
    moment. It is an "original" JPanel.
    The class extending JFrame implemented the interface Runnable and
    is started in its own thread.
    After starting the programm everthing looks fine.
    But if I press a Button in the second JPanel this button is painted in
    the top left corner of my frame. It changes if I press another button.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I noticed you solved this by painting the whole JFrame.
    Yeh Form time to time I get this problem too......
    Especially if the screen has gone blank - by going and having a cup of tea etc -
    Text from one Panel would be drawn in another.. annoying
    At first it was because I changed the state of some Swing Components
    not from the Event Thread.
    So make sure that your new Thread doesn't just blithely call repaint() or such like cos that leads to problems
    but rather something like
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
       public void run()
          MyComponent.repaint();
    });However I still get this problem using JScrollPanes, and was able to fix it by using the slower backing store method for the JScrollPane
    I could not see from my code how something on one JPanel can get drawn on another JPanel but it was happening.
    Anyone who could totally enlighten me on this?

  • Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

    Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
    for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
    I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
    Timing does seem to be an issue.
    There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
    in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
    a work-around.
    I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
    I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
    I have not tested on Windows yet.
    When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
    each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
    buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
    to each other's buttons.
    The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
    to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
    default cursor. These work fine.
    The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
    and sets it back. This does not work.
    The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
    except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
    cursor back. This also does not work.
    The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
    time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
    window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
    button. This works.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
    I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

  • Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

    When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
    /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    *was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
    The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    +was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
    Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

  • Problem with JNI and Tomcat (and threads???)

    Howdy,
    Here is the issue - I would like some help on HOW to debug and fix this problem:
    2 test use cases -
    1)
    a)User goes to Login.jsp, enters user and password
    b) User submits to LoginServlet
    c) login calls JNI code that connects to a powerbuilder(Yes I know this is ugly) PBNI code module (this is a .dll) that authenticates the user with the database
    d) the servlet then redirects to another .jsp page
    e) user then submits to LogoutServlet - also a JNI call to a powerbuilder PBNI code module
    f) REPEAT STEPS a-e over a few times (inconsistent) and then the call to the JNI code hangs
    2)
    a) users does NOT goto Login.jsp, but rather calls LoginServlet and passes the userid and password as GET parms
    b) user does NOT get redirected to a page (redirect code commented out)
    c) user calls LogoutServlet
    d) repeat steps a-c at will and no failure, no hanging
    The only difference is that in case 1 (with JSP), there is a redirect and it afffected the JNI call by haniging inside JNI code.
    In case 2 (without JSP) there is still a JNI call, but it does not hang. In addition, when it hangs and I stop Tomcat, the logs show cleanup entries that say:
    Oct 19, 2004 9:17:09 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper unload
    INFO: Waiting for 1 instance(s) to be deallocated
    Oct 19, 2004 9:17:10 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper unload
    INFO: Waiting for 1 instance(s) to be deallocated
    Oct 19, 2004 9:17:11 AM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper unload
    INFO: Waiting for 1 instance(s) to be deallocated
    Is this a threading issue in Tomcat???
    On would assume that the JNI code is not cleaning up after itself, but I don't believe this is the case,
    and even if it was, why would I get the tomcat log cleanup entries above???
    What do those cleanup entries imply about the state of Tomcat????

    hi ,
    I met the same problem this morning, and searched the www.google.com in order to solve it, as a result, your article was shown on my screen. :)
    Till now I have read some technical information and solved my problems. Maybe the solution be useful to you:

  • Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated by itself and now outlook and address book have each over 340,000. What should I do?

    Problems with outlook and address book contacts: my outlook contacts had around 3,000 entries. Outlook duplicated entries and have now 340,000. I reinstalled microsoft office and, thus, outlook, and reinstalled mac OS X system and applications. While I managed to delete outlook contacts so that I can re-sync with my blackberry, the contacts at Mac Address Book were not deleted and still have over 340,000 entries. I do not mind deleting all contacts since I have back up, but I have not been able to delete them. Also, when I go at Address Book and try to delete or merge duplicated entries, the system takes forever and never ends because of such large amount of entries. Worse, when I do so I run out of RAM memory.
    My Macbook pro is just 2 months old.
    What should I do? Is there a way to delete my Mac Address Book without having the problem above?
    Many thanks

  • Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)

    Problems with Safari and Firefox (HTTP?)
    On a laptop G4, 10.5.8 and Safari 5.02 I experience the following:
    On the account of my oldest daughter everything works fine, i.e. wireless internet works and no problems with mail or safari.
    On the same laptop, on the account of my other daughter, the wireless is OK, she can mail etc. But safari nor firefox works. It says: can’t find server (whatever site) and in the activity window it looks if safari tries to open files (in the safari preferences-folder) in stead of http. Same applies to Firefox, so maybe it has more to do with HTTP in general?
    What goes wrong? What to do? I tried the following on the host terminal (tips from Apple)
    defaults write com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled -boolean false
    and
    defaults delete com.apple.safari WebKitDNSPrefetchingEnabled
    but that did not help,

    I'm still wondering why it happens now at this moment in time...
    PC does seem to be a bit odd & inconsistent, the few times I've tested with it, at least so far as we content filtering goes; and if I remember rightly, you're not the first to report previously ok settings suddenly preventing some or all internet until pc is switched off altogether.
    It may work when re-enabled

    I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud.  When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play.  I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server".  I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted.  I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either.  Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again?  Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost?  I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be.  Please help if you can.

    I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!

  • Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

    Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
    The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
    This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
    I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
    Recent programs includes:
    1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
    2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
    3) installing new itunes 10
    4) new update to Flip For Mac.
    The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
    Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
    In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?

  • Problem with Send and Receive Emal In SAP System

    Hi gurus!
    I have a following quote:
    Dear !
    I have a problem with send and receive email in SAP system following :
    I want to test send and receive email in local network at my company. I
    had two server
    Server 1 : I setup Exchange Mail Server 2007 with domain controller is
    fes.com
    Server 2 : I setup SAP ERP ECC 6.0
    On Server 1 : I created 2 account ( u1Afes.com and u2Afes.com ) and then I tested send and receive email between u1 and u2 in local network through Microsoft Outlook 2007 -> OK
    and then
    On Server 2: I had configured send and receive email on SAP system
    through tcode SBWP, SCOT and SOST as Note 455140 - "Configuration of
    e-mail, fax, paging or SMS using SMTP"
    for example :
    I logged in SAP system with user Basis01 (with email u1Afes.com ) -> then,using tcode SBWP -> new message -> send to u2Afes.com with Internet Mail type and then status message with green light -> sending ok
    and then I have used Microsoft Outlook 2007, I logged with account u2 ->check email -> Ok. I saw message which send from u1
    Finally, My problem is how can receive mail in SAP system without using Microsoft Outlook
    For example:
    Login system SAP with Basis01 account (with  u1Afes.com ) -> tcode SBWP ->New Message -> send to u2Afes.com
    and then
    Login system SAP with Basis02 account (with u2Afes.com ) -> tcode ??? ->
    To receive email from Basis01 (with u1Afes.com )
    Please help me now

    I replace "@" with "A" because of banning email of this forum.
    This quote is about sending email in local network. And we can't receive any email from the outside email address. Addition if I wanna send email to internal email in Internet (we've just tried with email address in local network) What should I config in SAP and Exchange ?
    By the way, Is SAP Server IP added to Relay Agent for sending or receiving mail ?
    Regards
    An NLP
    Edited by: An NLP on Apr 6, 2010 7:03 PM

    Hi,
    This problem is a classic problem of mail routing via Exchange. Exchange like most mail servers use the domain part of the email address as a means to route mails. So I will make an assumption that your main company mail addrss is "User @ fes.com".
    So when you send a mail to the "User @ fes.com mail" address the mail is delivered to your Outlook mail address as this is the default route for company.
    (Q) So how do you get your Exchange server to relay the mail into the sending SAP system?
    (A) The easiest way would be to setup and unique mail domain for your SAP system. I always recommend "user @ client.sid.company.com" which in your case would be "u1 @ 100.PRD.fes.com". You can then instruct Exchange to send any emails addressed to 100.PRD.fes.com domain to your SAP system. Also using this format of address you can configure multiple mail connections into multiple SAP systems.
    (A) Another answer would be to enter the "Full" email address (LOcal and Domain part of address) into the routing rule for Exchange e.g. "U1 @ fes.com" so that all emails addressed to this user will be delivered into SAP. However this method requires a lot of Admin as you will have to update Exchange with ALL email address that need to receive emails. Also if your corporate mail address is "U1 @ fes.com" then all mails will be forwarded to SAP.
    I would definitely NOT recommend this method but the decision is up to you.
    P.S. The IP address of the SAP system is entered into the mail header of the email. This is standard practice in SMTP relay. You can suppress this header in Exchange
    Hope this helps

    When you post about Windows / Boot Camp, in Mac Pro (workstation) forum where others with a MacBOOK would be more likely to have same hardware configuration, and you won't find Windows drivers on Apple downloads. More like at
    http://www.guru3d.com or other sites, or go to RealTek (if that is the type of audio you have).
