Question on Software Quorum

I've been reading mixed reports on the functionality of Software Quorum. Hopefully someone can help clarify this for me.
Does the Software Quorum feature in 3.2u2 only allow for non-SCSI disks to be used as quorum devices? Or does it also emulate scsi-reservations/fencing on all shared disks, whether they are quorum disks or not?
Thanks!

Did you read this blog posting. If not, it should answer your questions. If it doesn't give you all the answers, then please add a comment. The article author should then respond pretty quickly.

  • New to Mac questions about software

    I am new to Mac. I am in need of a good client database software. The program I was using is not compatible with the Mac. I have found some that say they are Mac compatible but you need to install Windows or another type of software. I have had several people tell me not to install Windows on my Mac. Anyone have any suggestions. Help

  • TOP questions about Software Updates - start here

    How do I update the software of my Nokia device?
    You can update the software of most Nokia devices by downloading the software directly to your phone, or by using Nokia Software Updater, Nokia's free PC software.
    Learn how and find out which methods are available for your device at
    http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/update-your-phone/
    How do I know when there is new software available for my Nokia device?
    There are several ways to be notified about new sw versions for each Nokia device:
    1) Use Nokia Suite
    Whenever you connect your device to the latest version of Nokia Suite with a compatible USB cable, Nokia Suite will check if there is an update for your device. Note that this notification only works when you use a USB cable connection.
    2) Check online
    You can easily check the latest available version on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    Currently Nokia does not publish the expected release dates for future software versions.
    What has been updated in each new software version?
    Main updates are published on the
    Nokia Software Update website.
    Here are some of the most common questions from the Nokia Software Update FAQ:
    Why has my device changed language after updating?
    After an update, your Nokia device may restart in its native language. Changing back to your preferred language can be done from the phone settings. Full instructions may vary depending on the phone model, if you need help you can download the full user guide for your phone from the support pages of your country's Nokia web site - visit www.nokia.com/support for more details.
    If your Nokia device was originally manufactured for use in another country or region, using Nokia Software Updater may revert the set of available device languages to the original language set.
    If your preferred language is no longer available after using Nokia Software Updater, you may need to return your Nokia device to a Nokia Care point to have this language reinstated.
    Other people can update their software but I cannot, although we have the same Nokia device model. What's wrong?
    Update availability is based on many things, including existing Nokia device firmware version, country, and operator. It may be due to one of these variables that your Nokia device isn't eligible for updates.
    Please note that your mobile service provider, operator, or carrier may not have approved the latest Nokia device firmware available.
    Nokia produces many different variants of each product (for different countries and languages) and not all variants have the latest Nokia device firmware. It is our priority to update all variants as quickly as possible, and we apologise for any delay. New software may become available at a later date, however, so please check again soon.
    Why doesn’t Nokia Suite detect my device?
    Sometimes the drivers for your Nokia device and associated connectivity cables can become corrupted.
    To resolve this, uninstall and re-install Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater:
    - In your PC’s Control Panel, go to Add/Remove programs
    - Uninstall Nokia Suite (if there are more than one entries uninstall all of them)
    - Go to www.nokia.com/support to download and install the latest version of Nokia Suite
    I am not able to use Nokia Suite on any PC and my device does not support updates directly over the air. Is there an alternative way to update my device's software?
    If you are not able to use Nokia Software Updater, you can visit your nearest authorized Nokia Care Point to have your software updated. Note that this may incur a charge. Locations for Nokia Care Points globally are available at the support page for your country, for details please visit http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/

  • Inetpp.dll question? (Software conflict?)

    Hi all,
    Wondering if someone can shed some light on this issue.
    We are running Windows 7ProSP1_x64, and iPrint 5.90 on OES11SP1. We have the iPrint client installed on the clients.
    We also run LanSchool (Classroom Management, Monitoring, and Corporate Training Software | LanSchool), classroom management software.
    After a few months of trying to diagnose a connectivity issue, I believe I may have found a problem.
    In the Client Registry, I see this:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Provid ers\Internet Print Provider
    Name = "inetpp.dll"
    When I install iPrint client (nipp.exe), this value is changed to
    Name = "inetpp.dll.INACTIVE"
    and a new key is created
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Provid ers\Novell iPrint Services\...
    Now, when I boot, I see an error in the Event log each time, about how the "Print Spooler failed to load print provider inetpp.dll.INACTIVE"
    This has been happening for as long as I can remember, and while it's probably deadweight slowing down the boot time, it hasn't affected me.
    Now, after much trial and error, I have isolated iPrint and the above "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Provi ders\Internet Print Provider\.." registry entry as a possible cause of the problem.
    When I rename Name to inetpp.dll, or if I delete the entire "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Provi ders\Internet Print Provider" key, Lanschool begins to work. When I revert the registry and reboot, the problem arises again.
    I am about to contact LanSchool for comment, but my question is, is there a reason iPrint installation renames this key? I can only assume it is so an iPrint Client uninstall (nipp-u.exe) can rename it back to original pre-iPrint state (I have verified this is what happens).
    Can anyone comment on the impact of changes around this registry key?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    inetpp.dll is a Microsoft Windows System DLL. It belongs to the MS Internet Printing Provider.
    Novell replaces this with the Novell IPP Provider and renames the registry entry to inetpp.INACTIVE rather than deleting the registry entry.
    So if your Software depends on the MS Internet Printing Provider you should check out if iprint still works fine even if you reactivate the ms ipp again.
    Otherwise, if your Software works also fine after deleting the MS Internet Print Provider key, I would suggest to do this.
    regards
    Tobi

  • Question on "Software Update FAQ"

    Hi,
    I've read getsurfers' post, but I still don't know how to interpret Question Nr. 15 and 38 in the Nokia FAQ:
    http://www.nokia.co.uk/A4252029
    I've got an one year old 6233, which constantly turns off if I try to answer a MMS with a SMS.
    Will the warranty be lost if I try to update my phone?

    Hi Sone,
    Q15 says that warranty will be intact if you update your phone using Nokia Software Updater.
    For Q38... There's a small chance that the Nokia Software Updater will kill the mobile. So they're saying that if that happens, you'll need to bring your mobile to your nearest Nokia service center. Then there's the disclaimer T&C for warranty coverage and that if your mobile falls outside warranty or coverage, it will be chargable.
    Hope this helps. Let us know if you need finer details and in which area.
    Cheers.

  • Partitioning External Hard Drive- questions about software & filing system

    I just got my macbook and I want to use my older external hard drive to transfer data between the macbook and my PC desktop. I have a Maxtor OneTouch II 300gb with only one partition. I have about 80gb of data already on the Maxtor. So my two questions are . .
    1. What is the best software (prefer freeware) to partition my Maxtor and keep the data I already have on it? Or is there a better way?
    2. What is the best setup for the filing system for the partitions? NTFS for one and FAT32 for the other or something else? I want to be able to both read & write to the Maxtor from both the PC and Mac. Appreciate any help anyone can throw my way.
    Macbook- Black model   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I'm not quite sure of what you mean by:
    I would like to avoid
    moving all the stuff from the external drive to the
    mac, and then having to move it all back onto the
    external drive.
    But most external drive was formated using fat 32 which theoretically limit to 2 TB and file size limit to 4 GB. Just put a useless file from your pc, and connect your external to your MacBook ,and see if you can copy and or delete that file from your Mac.
    You can also check your HD format on PC side by: go to my computer, right click the external HD icon and select properties, and it will shows you the hd was formatted with,...
    If you mean you want to format to mac format "on the fly", they might be some utilities for that on Mac side, but I'm not aware of, but why you want to re-format it if the external work for both sides without getting new format, since format that using MAc extended journaled wight result unreadable on your PC side.
    Good Luck

  • Scanning Question: OCR software, Vuescan

    Is there any OCR scanning software for the Mac besides OmniPage?
    I'm taking a look at Vuescan for graphics scanning, but I couldn't tell from its web site whether it includes its own OCR program as well. Can anyone who uses it let me know? (I know I can email the developer, but since this is a non-technical question, I thought I'd check here first.)
    iMac G5, 17", 1.6 Ghz PowerPC, Combo Drive   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   768 MB RAM, 80 GB HD

    Thanks for the reply mreed. I have looked at ReadIRIS Pro on versiontracker. From my research, I see that we Mac owners apparently have only 4 choices for OCR software:
    1. ReadIRIS Pro -- $130.00 (yes, it is rather pricey when I consider that OmniPage SE came with my scanner for free). Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 1.7 stars (beating OmniPage Pro X by a hair. OmniPage rated 1.6 stars). USER COMMENTS: Quirky, several said it crashes half the time (and not just on Intel Macs) and is very slow. One commenter attributed this to the fact that it's really a Windows program "adapted" for the Mac without a true Mac interface. Pluses: Excellent OCR quality: handles paragraph alignment, font style, and zoning better than Omnipage Pro X (though Omnipage has better OCR proofing).
    2. WorkingPapers ver. 2.2.2 -- $99.00. Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 3.9 stars. USER COMMENTS: Works with even the oldest scanners, easy to use (virtually no learning curve), and is really the only decent OCR out there for the Mac. Negatives: Doesn't appear to have a demo, there has been no update since 2004, and the recognition of previously scanned TIFFs is poor.
    3. OmniPage Pro X -- $500.00 (gasp!) Ave. user rating on versiontracker -- 1.6 stars. USER COMMENTS: Has not been updated for Mac since 2002.
    4. OCR engine in DevonThink Pro Office -- don't have a price or versiontracker rating. While Devon is a Mac-only company, they didn't develop their own OCR engine. They're using (or will be using?) the IRIS OCR engine. USER COMMENTS: The version of IRIS in DevonThink isn't all that flexible: "You can't pick and choose as you can in ReadIRIS, nor can you tell it what is a table and what isn't - and it's a LOT slower... DevonThink offers no real OCR options other than full automatic."
    So, after looking into this, I agree with the consensus that Windows users have a lot more options in the OCR department. One reviewer praised Visioneer PaperPort (now owned by ScanSoft/Nuance, as is OmniPage), which he used to use on his Windows computer, saying it had an intuitive and elegant interface and simple but powerful features that he wishes Mac OCR developers would emulate.
    If someone develops a really good full-featured OCR program for the Mac (please ... without the Windows 95-era GUI of OmniPage), that person would make a fortune. I wish someone would invent one that could let me keep behind-text graphics. In OmniPage SE, if graphics are behind text (like a watermark), you can keep one or the other in the finished document, but not both. Adobe Acrobat can turn image-PDFs into text-PDFs AND retain background graphics, but I don't want to pay all that money for it if that's the only purpose for which I'll use it. I guess I'll have to stay with my freebie OmniPage SE for now.

  • Questions on Software Updates

    4 years with ConfigMgr and I'm still trying to get a grasp on Software Updates... After reading a number of articles related to 2012 and ADR I've come up with a few questions I'm hoping I can get answered.
    For clarification - I just recently converted my Software Update Groups / Packages from a product-focused method to a year-to-year method. So rather than "All Windows 7 Updates" I now have "All Windows Updates 2014". I have high hopes
    for this configuration and many others seem to have good success with it. However, because I'm dumping a years worth of updates for multiple products into a single "2014" package the packages are reaching sizes I'm not entirely comfortable with.
    2013 is ~18 GB and 2014 is already ~22 GB. I have offices all around the globe that I need to support and this is where my questions come in:
    1. By default I always check the following option for my deployments. It seems like a no-brainer to have this option enabled:
    Up until now I've been struggling to get these 15-20 GB software update packages across some pretty slow WAN links. After dealing with multiple failures and re-distributes I'm curious if I can leverage the Microsoft Updates option 100% for some of these
    distant locations. I suppose the only downside is 10-30 client computers downloading updates at the same time, but the trade off doesn't look so bad. Any thoughts on this?
    2. Is anyone limiting their download packages to yearly + required-only? I'm pretty much downloading gigabytes of updates that aren't required by any of my active systems, and its rare to non-existent for us to have a largely outdated system joined to
    our domain. I'm considering going this route to reduce the size of my update packages but I wanted to get feedback.
    Thanks in advance!

    I have WindowsXP (well until this month), Win7/8/8.1, Office 2007/2010/2013.
    In both 32bit and 64bit flavours.
    I do monthly patching cycles (security patches plus non-security patches).
    I have quarterly deployment packages - one package for each Windows edition, per architecture. The Office patches are bundled in with each Windows platform, because we offer specific Office versions with specific Windows platforms, in my organisation.
    I'm not using ADRs at the moment, but now that XP is gone, I will be automating a lot more.
    I have a few saved searches that I reuse each month (e.g. released or revised in last 2 months and isnot expired and isnot superseded)
    For the combination of Windows and Office that you have, I think yearly DPKGs is stretching it a bit too much.
    Although CM12 is a lot better than CM07 at handling SUM, plus the single-instance nature of the content library in CM12, there are limits, and "poorly connected" sites will always give some grief.

  • Flashing question mark/software install disc problem

    Hello,
    I'm getting the flashing question mark at reboot. I've followed these steps:
    a. Insert the Software Install disc that came with your Mac.
    b. Restart the computer and immediately press and hold the C key to start up from the disc.
    c. When you see the Installer screen, choose Open Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
    d. Select your hard disk volume in the left pane, click the First Aid tab, and then click Repair Disk.
    e. When it's finished, restart your computer.
    HOWEVER, when I restart my computer it STILL reads/loads from the install disc (as opposed to just booting from my hard drive). It's like a endless loop I can't get out of. Am I doing something wrong?
    Any suggestions?
    - Davey

    Here's Apple doc.#106178 on Startup Manager.
    Or restart while holding down the "X" key to bring you to your OS.
    Cheers!

  • Questions with software update

    I recently downloaded a software update to a freinds ipod mini. It now tells me I have to plug the ipod into a wall charger to complete the installation. Problem is, I dont have a wall charger. Is there any other way to complete this? or, Is there a way to erase it and restore the ipod? The pod is useless as is, the computer wont even recognize it anymore. Oh, using a windows PC for this. Thanks.

    Connect the iPod to a 6-pin FireWire port on a computer or a car adaptor; you may also be able to use this method to charge the iPod. Until the iPod has been charged enough to finish the update, you can't use it again.

  • Question about Software Updates in the Netherlands

    Hello all,
    ! am new to the Netherlands and plan to buy the Lumia 1020. I have a question regarding FW updates over here:
    Which network delivers the fastest updates generally or does the un-locked (country specific) phone get it first?
    Also, if i choose to buy the phone on contract here, after the expiry of the contract, do i have to unlock the phone or will the provider do it for me? (Assuming that the phones are locked to the network in the first place, if not, please let me know!)
    PS: I come from India, where we don't have phones on contracts and also receive updates very quickly!

    hi mate,
    generally if you want to free yourself from the constraints of networks, your best bet is to purchase an unlocked, unbranded handset from in-store or online. bear in mind that if you buy a handset from origin of another country in the EU, the warranty will still apply, but buy a 1020 that has a product code from outside the EU, then the warranty won't apply. something to be careful about.
    as for operators delivering updates faster than others, this varies between updates, and really noone is able to predict this. as for the unlocking, that is between you and your network carrier, Nokia has nothing to do with this.

  • Odd Question about software instruments

    Hello, I'm still using GB 2004 (Yes, way back before the flood ;))
    I have an Alesis Q49 USB/MIDI Kybrd going to Garageband and does anyone know how to possibly control the parameters of the software instruments? (besides the mouse obiviously)
    Example: Double click Classic rock organ - Click on "edit the generator preset"
    (pencil icon) - Click on TREMOLO.
    I would like to be able to click on the tremolo button remotely with a MIDI Command or something I am not sure what type of commands are needed to turn a 3 mouse click event in a simple on/off command.
    Like playing live !!
    Sorry, I know I am asking for the sky ! Any guidance is much appreciated.

    it sounds like you are lacking those instruments:

  • A Question for Software Developers

    Is it that difficult to build into the software code of iWeb an ability to add HTML inside a text box so that the result is a textbox-constrained HTML widget?
    This way, two options for HTML would be available. One, the current widget option and, two, this text-box option. The latter of which would actually place the HTML inside the same page the text box is located as opposed to the former option which places it on a separate page.

    Is it that difficult to build into the software code of iWeb an ability to add HTML inside a text box so that the result is a textbox-constrained HTML widget?
    yes, it is difficult to do so because of the way iweb structures its elements in xml.
    you need to see in iweb xml to understand that it will take a huge revamp to accommodate that.
    The latter of which would actually place the HTML inside the same page the text box is located as opposed to the former option which places it on a separate page.
    this can be done but you need to have controls from inside iweb, this takes understanding of how iweb works so you can dynamically manipulate what is on the page.
    see my example here:
    http://www.cyclosaurus.com/Home/CyclosaurusBlog/Entries/2009/8/11Pieces_of3.html#7
    look at the page source and you won't see any code for drop-down menu nor CSS nor javascript.
    all the code is added to my example with my widgets.
    There are NO non-apple developers on this site?
    they ain't here, but lurking....
