Question of the day: Mac Storage on Windows environment.

Hi there
I have Windows environment (10 Servers & 100 Clients), and small Mac environment (10 Macs Clients without Mac Server) I have problem when Mac users put data on Windows Servers, so IT department decided to find a Mac Storage has the following features:
1-Can format it as HFS+.
2-Can Windows users access it.
3-Can manage it from Windows Server.
4-Can attach it to Tape Driver for backup or has any other backup solution.
5-Has RIAD System.
I know there are many administrators did this scenario (integration Mac Storage with Windows) so please any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Please elaborate on exactly what you mean by "connect to tape driver"
Of course you can use a tape drive with an Xserve. Most drives will require that you add a SCSI card to your Xserve, and for that the single best choice (compatibility and support from the company which is excellent) is Atto ( www.attotech.com ) although Apple sells their own card.
I believe it's a rebranded LSI - see http://preview.tinyurl.com/6bw4w5
At one time the Exabyte firewire-based tape drives were a decent option but their firewire (aka IEEE 1394) interface has proven problematic in terms of being less than robust when attached to an Intel Mac.
If not SCSI then definitely look at native Fibre based tape drives - but that's getting into higher price-bracket. Eg. http://store.apple.com/ussmb78313/search?find=Fibre+Tapew

  • Trivial Question of the Day: Default windows preferences

    Hi,
    When I open a new document in Text Edit, the window is quite small, so I have to resize it all the time, even re-opening one that I set up. I've noticed it with other stuff like Finder folders, for instance.
    Is there a preference that sets these windows to full page? Again, this is not like saying my computer shows a question mark when I turn it on, but it's something I'd like to know. I asked this a while ago, but didn't get many substantial answers.
    Thanks as always,
    Allan (the Allan with no points!)

    Allan,
    Describing/predicting which size finder window you will see is not clear/obvious because the size you will observe depends upon which finder window was first to be opened and where/how it was opened. (What a mouthful that was)
    Whenever I use the (+N) command the (my default Desktop) window opens in the size that I expect. Any subsequent folder opened from the Sidebar opens in the same sized (my default Desktop) window.
    Any folder which is opened from the resulting (my default Desktop) window remembers the size that I have chosen for that window.
    Opening a folder from the Dock results in a window of the size that I have previously chosen as the default for that specific window.
    Clear as Mud?
    Maybe someone can expound on my feeble attempt to explain the un-obvious.
    ;~)

  • A stupid question about the new mac pro

    I know the mac pro has dual ethernet ports, but does it also have wifi built in? Or do I actually have to plug it tonto my router? Sorry for the perhaps obvious question.
    PS. As a point of interest, I received mine yesterday. There was NOTHING inside of the box except for the cpu. I know the docs will be already installed on the cpu along with my purchase of Final Effex Pro X. It just took me by surprise is all. Now my next problem is trying to take my time and relish the exciting setup today. Unfortunately, I have compression fractures in my lower back from this last snow storm, so my enjoyment will be bitter sweet.
    Thanks for you help.

    From the product page (http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/specs/):
    Wireless: 802.11ac Wi-Fi wireless networking;3 IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n compatible
    and
    In the box: Mac Pro, power cord
    So, yes, it does have Wi-Fi. However, you are likely to get better local network performance with a gigabit ethernet cable and a gigabit ethernet switch (assuming you have other local gigabit devices similarly connected).
    For many years, Apple has been cutting down on the amount of hardcopy documentation shipped with products. Two years ago, my MacBook Pro came with a tiny booklet that was little more than how to plug it in and turn it on, an equally tiny warranty booklet, and some logo stickers. I'm only a little surprised to hear they are now down to zero paper shipped.

  • Question about the new Mac Mini

    I'm considering getting a Mac soon, I've considering my various options and the new Mac Mini has recently caught my eye.
    1. The higher end model now has a 6630M AMD GPU, if I also combine this with the i7 CPU and 8GB RAM upgrades, would this be a good viable option for gaming? The CPU would only be dual-core.
    2. Can the Mac Mini be connected with a new Macbook Air as use as an external monitor? Would Thunderbolt make this possible?
    Thanks in advance.

  • "change the DBA group" in a windows environment

    I would like to prevent OS-privileged users or connect as SYSDBA without giving password!
    (there would be no passwordfile)
    In a unix environment we can hide the name of dba-group changing config at /rdbms/lib
    and relink:
    Change: #define SS_DBA_GRP "dba" to: #define SS_DBA_GRP "mygroup"

    sorry, thats an windows environment.
    I didnt found anything like a config for group name as in unix (there is no relinking at windows).
    If I use windows I can modify the config (another existing group), relink and recopy the default config.
    So a unix.admin with only basic oracle o´know-how is confused.
    I am looking for similar steps on windows...Someone with admin authority on the OS has ultimate authority. Even if you figure out a way to have Oracle use a group other than ora_dba, it won't take a rocket scientist of an SA to figure it out and put himself in the correct group. You need to turn on auditing and have some strong policies regarding DBAs and SAs staying in their lane.

  • Question of the day: Best Portal integration strategy for CRM 7.0?

    I would appreciate it if anyone can give me their feedback with the knowledge and background with the Portaland CRM WebUI integration based on the following options:
    These are the available options for portal integration:
    Option A: Initial Login to CRM WebUI, launch other functionalities from WebUI
         All users login through SAP CRM WebUI. Based on user portal roles, available applications are presented using WebUI transaction launcher to open up as new browser windows or within the content area of CRM WebUI
    Option B: Initial Login to Portal, CRM and other applications launched from Portal
         CRM WebUI is setup as a full screen BSP iView. All users login once through SAP NW Portal. Based on user portal roles, available applications are presented. CRM, BI BOBJ, KM are launched in a separate browser windows. For SAP applications, there is SSO available.
    Option C: Initial Login to Portal, CRM and other applications integrated into Portal
         All users login once through SAP NW Portal. CRM WebUI is integrated into the Portal content area, and navigation between CRM screens are handled through Portal links.
    Business considerations:
    1.  Single-Sign-On (SSO): The proposed solution should provide an integrated sign on page that allows access to other CRM applications without the user logging in again.
    2.  Frontend navigation: All CRM applications used by business should be accessible from a single location. This should cater for future applications as well eg: AFLS. Ideally there should be a minimum number of windows that a user has to juggle.
    3.  Contextual usability: The related applications should be linked to CRM and launched where it is used to support business operations. If possible, the applications should launch with the particular CRM transaction/record to minimize time required to locate relevant information eg: integrated reporting
    4.  Standardized look and feel: The portal should not change the functionalities of standard CRM and should integrate well in terms of the look and feel of the product and NOL branding
    Based on the following business considerations, would Option B a better solution in terms of integration with other CRM applications, integration with other SAP applications (BOBJ, KM), flexibility in integrating with other options, SSO, maintainability and scalabilit.
    Thanks a lot,
    Cecilia

    We did option B at our client for CRM 2007. The authetication works perfectly between SAP NW Portal, and SAP CRM. It was one day work with single BSP iView (I beleive).

  • Questions for the Day!

    Hi all,
    Well I got cracking on the books and I don't know if I am already getting fatigued, but there are a series of questions I want to ask to get this stuff under my belt.
    First of all I a confused with method overloading and overriding.
    I have come up with questions that seem relevant.
    1.) Is Having multiple constructors in a class definition an example of overloading. I would say no, because only methods can be overloaded.
    2.) If two methods have the same signature, does that mean they are overloaded. I would say they would be overridden.
    3.) Is it possible to overload a method without involving the base class. I am confused with this one.
    4.)Is it possible to override a method without involving a base class? Confused again.
    Can someone point out some reasons for answers, since I want to understand?
    Thanks,
    mileinfive

    Some definitions:
    Overriding -
    When a subclass defines a method with the same signature and name as a method in the parent class, but provides different logic in the body of the method. Here is an example of overriding:
    class Parent {
       public void printAge() {
          System.out.println("I am old");
    class Child extends Parent {
       public void printAge() {
           System.out.println("I am young");
    }Now, say you have a Parent object named "p" and a Child object named "c", and you call the printAge() method of each one:
    p.getAge();   // prints "I am old"
    c.getAge();   // prints "I am young"...even though the Child is a subclass of Parent and it inherits the Parent class's getAge() method, by defining its own version of the method it is overridden.
    Overloading -
    In overloading, you provide more than one method with the same name, but each of these methods has a different signature. So that if you call the method of that name, the actual method that is executed depends on the arguments you pass to it.
    public class NosePicker {
       public void pickNose() {
          System.out.println("What a boring nosepicker, no arguments.");
       public void pickNose(Int snots) {
          System.out.println("You picked " + snots + " snots!");
       public void pickNose(Int snots, Int times) {
          System.out.println("You are amazing! You picked "
                             + snots + " snots " + times
                             + "times!!!");
    }Now with this class, a different method is called depending on what argument signature is given.
    Make sense?

  • Last question for the day - Music Video

    Hi,
    I have been asked by a friend to do their music video for them. I understand while shooting they will be playing to the original recording but after a day of shooting and im back at my computer what is the best way to syc my clips to the master audio track? Is there a tutorial available on music video creating? I know I could sit there and bit by bit move the clip to match however I am hoping there is a tutorial on it some place on the net.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Me just thinking
    I would
    • Make several full song recordings with my Camera (close-ups, full size etc.)
    or use several Cameras (5 to 10 recordings)
    Put the best Audio-uptake as a master Audio then add video clips to do the visual
    part as rythmic and paced fast/slow enough to reflect the "Air" of the lyrics.
    Know what I'm taking about - NO Not at all - just speculating.
    (With several Cameras - all recording non-stop - this would be much easier in
    FinalCut Pro and the MultiCamera function.)

  • Question of the day: In which Thread context does the main method run ?

    let's say, you create a JFrame in the main method:
    public static void main(String[] args)
    new MyJFrame();
    let's suppose, you construct the whole JFrame
    inside the constructor, which contains a lot
    of other Swing components, like JTree's and more.
    AND the JFrame calls setVisible(true) in its
    constructor.
    -> According to my knowledge, this won't work
    properly - it will function, BUT you will get one
    or two quite big exceptions (which usually start
    with a nullpointer exception, produced by the
    PLAF, but the whole stacktrace shows, that the
    the exception was thrown AND catched inside
    the Swing objects.
    Reason for this would be, that all operations
    after the "setVisible(true)" statement must be
    carried out in the eventdispatch thread, according
    to Swing rules.
    Now, as you can see by running the source below,
    the main() method always is processed in special thread,
    NOT the event dispatch thread - which produces the above behaviour.
    My Question:
    Wouldn't it have been easier to let the JVM
    process the main() methods right in the
    event dispatch thread ?
    Or:
    Why is the JVM designed to process the
    main() method in a special thread and not
    the Swing event dispatch thread ?
    opinions?
    Regards
    JPlaz / SnowRaver
    package Test1;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Frame1 extends JFrame
    public Frame1( final String title, int position )
    this.setSize(400,300);
    this.setLocation(position,position);
    this.setVisible(true);
    if( SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread() )
    System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed IN the event dispatch thread.");
    else
    System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed in ANOTHER than the event dispatch thread.");
    public static void main(String[] args)
    // First creation just from the startup thread context :
    new Frame1("first Frame", 60);
    // Now we let the second creation be done in the
    // eventdispatch thread context for sure :
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
    public void run()
    new Frame1("second Frame",120);

    Matt,
    it's been so long, I don't have the full answer in my head.
    This page on Adobe.com has an example that shows Flash 4
    mouse stuff (I'm Mr
    Vague today) when you scroll down. Your timelinme reference
    will be
    something like
    TellTarget(_Root, gotoAndPlay(50))
    Hopefully from that vagueness you can locate the right
    answer.

  • Stupid Question of the Day: What is the name of your kernel library?

    <Standard intro>
    As information, I have been away from SAP and basis for about four years. Due to personnel changes, I'm now returning to it. During the interim, we upgraded from version 4.0B to "SAP R/3 ENTERPRISE 47X110" (according to the system information on SMP). We have some out-dated kernel issues and I am trying to work through them as best and as quickly as I can.
    </Standard intro>
    We have several different kernel libraries on our system.  I'd like to know which ones I can delete so that I can prepare to upgrade from 6.20 to 6.40 (yeah, we are that far behind).
    So, my question is:
    For a particular instance, how do you tell which kernel library is currently applied?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    We have some errors occurring during our startup process. 
    I should mention that this system started out as an IBM RRR (Ready to Run) system many years ago.  The RRR library still exists and is still used in some places and I am still trying to get all of the hooks out so that I can delete it completely.
    In the meantime, if anyone from SAP is monitoring this forum, I would appreciate the source code for the R3INLPGM--pseudo code is fine if you don't want to release the real thing.  I just need to know what it is doing because something is not right.
    Thanks!
    Robert

  • Last question of the day: java database?

    can you recommend a fairly reliable (mature) database which is made with java and does not require database connection strings, but can be interacted with by using SQL statements.

    Why do you want to avoid connection strings? What's
    the problem with them?
    Take a look at derby or hsqldb
    Kajtoo much effort, presumably. should go far

  • Question on the Solaris Translation Storage Buffer (TSB)

    Hi all --
    I'm new to Solaris and am trying to understand how kernel handles TLB misses. From reading the manuals, I gather that instruction and data TLB misses cause an interrupt to the OS. Thereafter, the miss handler uses the MMU Tag Register and TSB pointer register to search for the required translation table entry in the TSB.
    I'm wondering how TSB accesses are monitored for multithreaded programs running on multicore machines. Suppose that in a 2-core system, a parallel program's workload is split into two threads, each executing on one of cores. If both cores experience TLB misses around the same time, can they access the TSB simultaneously? Or is the TSB locked by whichever core misses first, serializing lookup?
    Thanks in advance!
    Abhishek

    Based on my knowledge of UltraSparc 2007 architecture, TLB misses can be handled by hardware table walker, and not cause a trap to OS. If TSB can not map the virt address to phy one, trap will be caused to OS software handler.
    Each core has a set MMU unit to deal with the addressing translation,
