RMAN and RAC Issue

In my database remote_login_passwordfile=EXCLUSIVE is set .(None and shared Can not be set due to Security issue.
Now My Question is I need some Authenticate Docs from Oracle Why we need to set Exclusive for OEM backup and RAC requirement .
2nd Question is I create one User for RMAN backup called "RMANBACUP" which have sysdba Permission.
Now Why you need this user has Sysdba Permission ?As I know for backup it read some sys and catalog tables ,but I need some authenticate Docs. from Oracle for our Audit purpose.
3rd Question:
Why Listener password can not be set for Oracle Fail safe . Need some Docs.

  • RMAN and RAC

    Hi all,
    Just a query with RMAN and backing up RAC databases.
    Reading Metalink Note: 243760.1 (RMAN: RAC Backup and Recovery using RMAN) it suggests that, for a 2 node RAC cluster, 2 channels should be set up, with a connection to each instance. For example,
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2;
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node1';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node2';
    On our systems though, which we inherited, the backup script has 4 channels, but all of them connecting to Instance A). For example,
    CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 4;
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 1 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node1';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node1';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node1';
    CONFIGURE CHANNEL 2 DEVICE TYPE DISK connect 'SYS/rac@node1';
    Now, we have done backup/restoration testing and it all appears to work. I can confirm that both UNDO tablespaces are being backed up, and all archivelogs as well.
    I believe the reason why all connections go to the A) node is because the backup storage is locally mounted on the A) node and accessible by the B) node over the private network.
    (We use Sun Cluster to mount the backup storage globally between the nodes, with A) being the master/local access and B) having access over the network).
    The question is, is there any critical reason why we should connect to each instance, or is it a best practice type thing (e.g. to share the load between nodes) ?
    Thanks for you input.

    Hi Gurus,
    It would be great if someone shares some RAC issues and mostly asked questions.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You can also refer to the following note.

  • Backup policy on Grid, using RMAN and Recovery Catalog.

    Hello Gurus,
    I'm trying to move ahead the new features of Oracle 10g in my company. So I've already created Grid Control and will deploy Agents/Targets during the next week. I also want to switch the backup process from the archaic exp/imp to RMAN with the Recovery Catalog.
    My question is such: could anybody suggest the best book or text with solutions and descriptions of backup policy, using the Grid, RMAN and Catalog? What I want to do is to create eventually the powerful and centralized storage of every database in a company and do all daily routine from there. But as long as I'm only in the very beginning I want to gain some knowledge before the bad experience, like crashed recovery catalog and no backups for all databases :-)))
    Definitely I'll keep existing imp/exp and hotbackup for a long time. I'm not going to substitute all our backup strategy with one catalog. I just want to understand what will be the best practice in the backup perspective.
    And at all, I wonder if you please could give me very brief answer to this question: Let's say I have a huge monster with 5 disks by 500Gb RAD0+1. Is it a bad idea to store all of them in one physical machine before they will tape to backup or it could make sense? For me it sounds a bit scary, but probably if all made with the brain it's not a bad idea?
    Please, send me to some valuable and good source (like Tom Kyte or Don Burleson) Unfortunately, I didn't find anything regard the backups itself. Only pretty much general thought.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    M.

    great!
    thanks a lot!
    this is definitely valuable info and I'll read right away. but as far as understand they suggest to use Data Guard, Standby and RAC which are the best ways to prevent your environment from crash. But in reality (I mean in my company) nobody is going to move to RAC at this point and I'm not sure, that they will have a chance to do in the next year. they just aren't up to it.
    what I'm looking for is probably some tips and hints about backups in more or less big environment, but not as big as Oracle itself :-) unfortunately, i'm the only DBA in my surrounding. i mean, i have no friends or mentors DBAs that could seat with me in a pub and pass theirs knowledge from generation to generation :-)))
    but anyway, I'll devote this week-end to this link.
    thanks a lot!

  • RMAN and EMC Networker

    We have just purchased EMC Networker to work with RMAN. We have about 25 databases, where we have configured a recovery catalog on a separate server. We are planning to run RMAN remotelly from this server, rather then locally for each of the 25 databases. I have 2 questions:
    1. Does it makes sense to do that, to run RMAN from the remote location on the server where recovery catalog is located?
    2. My understanding is that once RMAN commands are issued, Oracle starts a backup where it reads the appropriate database file, creates backup set and passes it to Networker Oracle module. Where is this backup set created? Can it be created in the Flash Recovery Area (so backup to disk first) and then backup this area to Networker? Does it make sense to set up FRA if we are using Networker?
    Thank you!

    1) There are version dependencies between the RMAN components, but apart from this you can run the executable from everywhere. This is often done from a centralized location.
    2) It's a common strategy to first backup to disk (and FRA is the recommened location) and then to backup the FRA to tape via RMAN. That means performance advantages and your first backup stage is independent of 3rd party functionality. But you have a second storage destination,which makes your backup/recovery strategy more reliable. Of course you also could backup directly to tape, if you don't have enough disk space (and you don't want to invest in it).

  • Oracle RMAN and SAP Databases

    Hi all,
    Am mainly an Oracle DBA and had just recently return to supporting SAP customers after a 4 year absence of supporting non-SAP customers.
    Anyway, I have some question on using Oracle RMAN with SAP databases. Backup softwares are Netbackup and Data Protector.
    I managed to get the backup working, that is, there is no issues, Oracle RMAN backup using SAP's brarchive and brbackup works alright. My question is about using an Oracle RMAN catalog. I've read thru several SAP documentation and cannot find one where I can use a RMAN catalog.
    Reading from
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d1/43d7cab9a04a409cc46876e36762c2/content.htm
    Does that mean I cannot use a RMAN catalog? Had anyone managed to use a RMAN catalog to do the RMAN backup?
    *Another question I have is, do I need Netbackup and Data Protector if I want to run RMAN backup to disk via brarchive and brbackup? Does backint requires a SBT library to use RMAN? What I mean is, I want to use RMAN but doing backup to disk instead of to tape which means I don't need the tape library installed, will backint know that this is the case and will not look for the tape library?
    Any advise or feedback on this will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Extracts from http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d1/43d7cab9a04a409cc46876e36762c2/content.htm are as below:
    The Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN) is an Oracle backup program. You can use it as a command line interface (CLI) or as a graphical user interface (GUI) in the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM). We support RMAN with the SAP backup tools BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE.
    RMAN uses the System Backup to Tape (SBT) interface to back up to tape devices. We implement SBT using the SAP backup library. External backup tools can implement this interface as a dynamic link library (DLL).
    Integration
    By integrating RMAN into BRBACKUP, you can add security and flexibility to important functions in existing backup strategies and tools:
    · The recovery catalog is not used. The backup information is stored in the control file. After the backup, the control file is also backed up. In a restore, the control file is restored first, followed by the data files.
    · The integration of RMAN into BRBACKUP also guarantees integration into the SAP Structure linkComputing Center Management System (CCMS).
    · BRBACKUP tape management functions as previously (that is, as when using the SAP backup library).
    · You can still use the BACKINT interface with external tools.
    · All previous SAP backup strategies are supported while using RMAN. Nevertheless, RMAN is not supported for standby database backups and split-mirror backups.
    · The following components are delivered with the standard Oracle8 installation:
    ¡ RMAN with the Oracle SBT interface
    ¡ Backup library and backup tool Networker from Legato
    ¡ Legatou2019s BACKINT interface implementation (as of Oracle 8.0.5)
    The SAP installation also delivers the SAP backup library with BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE.

    Hi,
    This question has been answered by Stefan Koehler. Not sure why the thread is not updated by his response. I am hoping to give him the max points actually.
    It was a very good response which is as below:
    Subject: Re: Oracle RMAN and SAP Databases
    Message: Hello,
    > Does that mean I cannot use a RMAN catalog? Had anyone managed to use a RMAN catalog to do the RMAN backup?
    Correct - if you are using the BR*Tools and RMAN you are not able to use a RMAN catalog with it.
    You can do manual catalog syncs, but the BR*Tools are not supporting a catalog database.
    >Does backint requires a SBT library to use RMAN?
    Check this documentation (Point "RMAN Backups Without Backup Library"): http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/9d800e1aec11d2b42c00609419997a/content.htm
    > Any advise or feedback on this will be very much appreciated.
    We are also using RMAN for taking backup of all our oracle database (SAP and non-SAP), but without any BR*Tools.
    That is also possible - check sapnote #105047 (Part "50. Recovery Manager (RMAN)").
    As you mentioned, that you are a fulltime DBA you should have enough knowledge to use RMAN without BR*Tools.
    Regards
    Stefan

  • RMAN on RAC ENV

    How to configure RMAN on RAC 2 node ?
    Is there any document to configure RMAN on RAC env and to integrate it with Networker.
    Please recommend me document.

    Did you read the fine networker guide on how to install and configure the module? The guide covers all required steps.
    The basic steps are:
    1. Create a client
    2. Add the rman script as saveset
    3. Add the rman wrapper script as backup command
    4. Install the module on OS level
    5. Configure RMAN
    6. Create Scripts
    7. Test it
    If you are on Networker 7.5 or higher you also can create/configure RMAN scripts from within networker.

  • Refresh prod to testusing RMAN+ASM+RAC

    Hi,
    Is there any user guide or someone can guide me with basic steps which I need to to do in order to refrsh my Prod DB into my Test DB.
    I need to do that every night while prod and test have different names and different servers.
    My environments are with RAC, Oracle 11, ASM and by backup is RMAN.
    I used to do that before using RAC and ASM with RMAN backup and restore.
    I started doing it by Bakcup, Restore with rman and set datafile new name and after it nid to change dbname.
    I guess that I don't know the steps correctly.
    Thanks for any help.
    Ran.

    The steps are :
    Restore the Database (using RMAN).  Optionally use SET NEWNAME to rename/relocate datafiles.
    Recover the Database (using RMAN).
    Rename the Database (using NID).  If you are changing the SID again, ensure that you have the pfile/spfile for the new SID.

  • Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

    Hi all,
    This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
    I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
    In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
    Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
    I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
    So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
    Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
    When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
    So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
    After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
    I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
    So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
    I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
    So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
    Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
    I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact.  I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
    They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
    I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
    Part Description                                           Symptom
    IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
    System board                                                 Network card error
    Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
    ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
    There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
    When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
    Windows 8.1
    SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
    Build 9600
    I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
    Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
    Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
    collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)
    If you'd like to know more, you can search online later for this error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
    Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
    By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
    I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
    Log Information,
    Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm 
    You have not done a hardware test on your computer
    And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
    When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
    I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
    At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
    Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
    Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
    Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
    In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
    After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
    Then, I ran hardware scan again...
    Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
    In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
    There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
    Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
    The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
    64 of them are the disk error.
    341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
    3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
    60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
    16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
    12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
    108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
    16 are application errors
    One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
    15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
    10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
    14 for services terminating unexpectedly
    15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
    61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
    12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
    So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
    I'll keep you updated!

  • Battery, heat, and ringer issues

    I recently purchased the Iphone 4s.. this is my first iphone
    I did the update that Apple sent out to help the battery and it seems like it worse then before the update??  My phone has been off the charger for 45 minutes, I sent 1 text message, and had 1 phone call.  The percentage is now at 87.  It the last 2 minutes i have watched it go down 2%?  Is this normal?  Also, the phone gets REALLY hot...
    If not, what do I do now??
    Also, I keep missing phone calls because I don't hear the phone ring... but the ringer is all the way up..
    Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    We've got the same issues, the BBM contacts went, now the BB won't charge ... we've tried all ways to get it to charge ... typically it's just over a month old so we can't get a full refund ... we are on here trying to find out what we need to do as we can't obtain a telephone number for BB customer services nor an email address only a tweet address which I haven't downloaded onto my handset.  So am stuck!!! Any and all advice very gratefully received as seriously peeved with BB models now.  My first BB was fantastic ... but all newer models have had problems ... think BB needs to ensure that all techy problems are fully ironed out prior to launching their new BB handset!
    1. Connect your Z10 to the wall outlet charger for an hour and then with the Z10 powered on, and with it STILL CONNECTED, remove the battery for a minute and replace. This will normally reset the the on-device battery meter and allow the charging status and percentage to show more correctly.
    2. Orange is your tech support contact and any issue which they cannot resolve, they should escalate up to BlackBerry tier two tech support, or you should ask/demand that.

  • New Airport Extreme and iPhone Issues

    I've had the networking day from ****. I previously had a 3rd Gen Time Capsule at our restaurant, connected to a Cisco 26port gigabit POE switch and Comcast digital voice and internet. Over the past few days, employees have reported trouble accessing the the Wifi network. After several restarts and firmware upgrades (including the dreaded "firmware problem" to fine update), nothing worked. I changed channels, back to auto, back to specific channels, back to auto. Made open guest networks. Nothing worked consistently. My iPhone might connect and my friend's might not. Nor his laptop consistently. Our Axis network cameras might take a bit extra time to connect. All quite random and quite frustrating.
    So I swap out an older Airport Extreme (4th gen I believe) using the same configuration as the TC (Time Capsule). It works fine, except for the last port not working as expected. No matter, I plug the mac mini into the Cisco switch and off we go. Nevertheless, I'm still told we are suffering random Wifi issues. So I buy a brand new AE (5th gen) today to replace that one. Should work like a charm I thought. Right....    
    Several hours later, I finally have the new AE working, but only after doing several hard resets/factory restores, the works. For some reason, the mac mini could not successfully update any of the connected AEs - whether connected directly into the same AE, or if the Mini was connected to the switch. Nothing worked. Every time I tried to update the AE, it would hang and force me to unplug and plug it back in. It would also never save setting changes. I finally resorted to a friend's macbook to be able to restore it successfully. And once that worked, the mini was able to update the AE flawlessly. Our Point of Sales (POS) machines connect fine, our cameras connect fine, wifi printer connects, and the mini connects, and everything has internet.
    Except my iPhone 5. Of course. It gets a signal fine (full bars). It gets an IP address. But I can't surf the web. Or download email. Or iMessages. Anything. No internet access. I try hard restarts on my iphone. I try assigning IP addresses by MAC address. I try resetting the AE. I try renaming the WiFi name. Nothing. I can make a guest network that works (on a different IP table, btw - 172, not 192.) But other than that, no access. Grrrr.
    So I have a "working" AE router where some devices successfully connect (through wifi and ethernet) and some dont' (wifi iPhone). My iPhone connects fine to my home TC. So shouldn't be anything to do with that. But I'm at a loss. I'm going to go back and restore everything and power cycle everything tonight or tomorrow night. I don't know if that will help, but it's worth a try. Lord knows it feels like I've tried everything else.
    Anyone have any good ideas of where to start besides voodoo dolls and baseball bats?

    I took mine back, because I was having these very same issues. We use contivity too. I was able to connect only to one of three of the servers we manage (in Europe). I couldn't connect to the servers in Asia or here in the USA.
    Replaced the Airport Extreme with my trusty old d-link 624, and no issues connecting to any of the three hubs.
    Otherwise, I liked the Airport Extreme, and I'll consider buying it again when and if they address this VPN issue. I work at home so its obviously a "deal breaker" for me.

  • IQ826t Restart and Heating Issue

    One thing I definitely do not like the HP's support especially when they will not allow us to buy a 7 Upgrade from Vista nor will they support something (even when I find their glitches and they admit after telling me it was just the OS).. On Repair work, I had to ship it out and this will be my 2-3 time to do repair on this PC in the past 3 years (and I have to wait a week for the repair to be done...)
    Besides that, IQ826t, Win 7 Ultimate SP1
    All Drivers are up to date with HP website (utilizing Win 7 64 bit drivers and Firmware is up to date). AVG update/scan (no issue - confirmed even rootkit).. Malwarebyte - Scan and no issue
    Disk Cleanup, Disk Defragmentation done on a monthly and quarterly schedule
    Biggest Issue:
    I am getting a crash with Win 7 0x124 Stop Error Message (happens periodically and even after a reboot)
    Never had this issue until May and the upgrade to Win 7 was done last year with SP1 update done on March (so it is not an issue with the OS as HP support personnel seems to think... I proved them the issue with Windows Update History, The  Bluescreen error code on my error code reader)..  This machine under warranty and I had issues with it constant (even in Vista)
    They state that it is the OS.. Again, if that was the case, I would think it would happen right away like my Toshiba on SP1 upgrade... That was not the case in the matter.  I have a firmware reset (default settings) and the issue persist..
    The Error Code relates always HAL.dll or ntoskrnl.exe
    One if hardware compatiblity and the other is an OS kernel exe file.. And this usually checking knowledge base relates to hardware failing due to 1) Compatibility (which HP website confirms is not the case) 2) OS corruption (which is not the case checking on safe mode and this happening STILL 3) Heat Issue (which I believe is the issue and was been documented on the Internet
    What I am noticing is the unit is extremely HOT (vent is almost burning when it has been off and just turned on).. I wonder if the hardware pieces are literally melting to destruction since I can't just open it up (they state it will void my warranty)
    The Symptoms before the Crash (happens any time.. Even right after a power up)
    If you are playing audio or video, you will start to hear jitters and sound seems to echo itself .. Video would start to lag and become choppy..  Systems start to slow down and things seem to run very slow.. I have seen the power light on the PC start on but the touchscreen just go black (will not restart sometimes)..
    Minor Issues (but could be related)
    1) When running PC Hardware Diagnostic, they will come up with an error code in the past and that was warranted for a motherboard replacement (of course, they ship the box to the wrong location and I was in the middle of my wedding so I get to it now).. It was pertaining to PCI Express Status ICH9 PCI Express Root Port  where it will generate an error code... Now, running the diagnostic... I will not get any error but PCI Express Root Port 3 & 5 do not show up on the diagnostic... Wouldn't that obvious show something that is a problem when there are 6 ports (which on the previous diagnostic that I can't grab past logs shows that). That is not warranted for a warranty work? Just a note, I got the fail test code (which was intermittent but keep happening and the tech support would not look at previous case.. Port 4 failed and a fatal device code)
    2) Blu-Ray player will not run and their answer is that it is your Blu-Ray until they realize that I ran it on 3 different Blu-Ray player standalone, different Blu-Ray, and confirm DVD will work.. They still think it is a software issue until they can't deny my point when it will not read the Blu-Ray no matter what (they took control and confirmed it).. They believe the HP SmartDVD software was failing because of Win 7 and not Vista (even when I downgrade and confirm it works, I stated the software is the issue...  Lone and behold, 2 months later they had an update that they refuse to admit I was RIGHT on the matter and done 15 hours of troubleshooting that they were wrong about)
    3) Wireless Keyboard and Mouse lost connectivity even if the battery is not low... Just stop typing or omit letters.. This is considering the keyboard is literally in front of the touchscreen
    4) Touchscreen is sensitive when it wants to be but won't in other... Constant issues there
    This is why I have so much issue with support.. They seem to show that they will do anything to deny the issue.. Heck, I am a computer technian calling on the issue.. It ain't like I didn't troubleshoot on the matter... But they think we are all morons and when I prove them wrong, they will use any excuse to honor warranty... That is why it is amazing..

    Look in your Settings > App Manager.
    Tap Device Monitor.
    Tap the Battery tab.
    At the upper right, tap "Since Last Charge" to change to "Last 48 Hours".
    What apps or processes are consuming the most battery power?
    ALSO, in setting up your new Z30, are you syncing many contacts or calendar data from a connected email account?
    Social accounts such as Facebook or Twitter?

  • Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues:  First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".

    Just updated to IOS 7 and two issues: 
    First when I connect my iPhone to my computer I get this error message:itunes was unable to provider data from sync services".  I'm not sure what this really means...
    The second issue is when I try to select "Manually Manage Music"
         The iPhone "My iPhone" is synced with another iTunes libary on "MY-PC".  Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?  An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time.  Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So... I don't want to do that, but I do what to be able to Manage my music.  I'm not sure what it means by being synced to another iTunes unless it means to an older version of itunes?
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I cannot address the sync services error right now, but the error that you receive when you change from sync to manually manage music is what happens when you change. Once you change to manually manage music, it erases all of the music and will only put the music that you want on the phone, content that you manually drag over to it.
