Missing 2x base points from Purchases made on October 26th 2014

Hello! I recently joined Gamers Club Unlocked this past weekend and was wondering if there was something in particular that I was suppose to do to get the 2X points? In the membeship terms it says I'm suppose to earn 2X the points if I purchase new game software. I purchased Bayonetta 2 and Borderlands: The presequel, however in MyBestBuy it is only showing my points as 1X instead. Hopefully that can be fixed. Thank you!

Hi zombiekillz9,
It looks like enuf has things pretty well covered here, so there isn't much we'd be able to add. If you have any other questions about points and timing though, I'd encourage you to check our the official My Best Buy FAQ available here.
Thanks for purchasing your copies of Bayonetta 2 and Borderlands with us!

Ask the Expert: Data Center Integrated Systems and Solutions

Welcome to this Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about utilizing Cisco data center technology and solutions with subject matter expert Ramses Smeyers. Additionally, Ramses will answer questions about FlexPOD, vBlock, Unified Computing Systems, Nexus 2000/5000, SAP HANA, and VDI.
Ramses Smeyers is a technical leader in Cisco Technical Services, where he works in the Datacenter Solutions support team. His main job consists of supporting customers to implement and manage Cisco UCS, FlexPod, vBlock, VDI, and VXI infrastructures. He has a very strong background in computing, networking, and storage and has 10+ years of experience deploying enterprise and service provider data center solutions. Relevant certifications include VMware VCDX, Cisco CCIE Voice, CCIE Data Center, and RHCE.
Remember to use the rating system to let Ramses know if you have received an adequate response.
Because of the volume expected during this event, Ramses might not be able to answer every question. Remember that you can continue the conversation in the Data Center Community, under the subcommunity Unified Computing, shortly after the event. This event lasts through August 1, 2014. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other Cisco Support Community members.

Hi Ramses,
I have dozen questions but will try to restrain myself and start with the most important ones :)
1. Can cables between IOM and FI be configured in a port-channel? Let me clarify what I"m trying to achieve: if I have only one chassis with only one B200M3 blade inside, will the 2208 IOM and FI6296 allow me to achieve more than 10Gbps throughput between the blade and the Nexus 5k? Of course, we are talking here about clean ethernet environment.
B200M3 --- IOM2208 --- 4 links --- FI6296 --- port-channel (4 links) --- Nexus5548
2. Is it possible to view/measure throughput for Fibre Channel interfaces?
3. Here is one about FlexPod: I know that in case of vBlock there is the company that delivers fully preconfigured system and offers one universal support point so customer don't have to call Cisco or VMware or storage supports separately. What I don't know is how it works for FlexPod. Before you answer that you are not sales guy, let me ask you more technical questions: Is FlexPod Cisco product or is NetApp product or this is just a concept developed by two companies that should be embraced by various Cisco/NetApp partners? As you obviously support Datacenter solutions, if customer/partner calls you with are FlexPod related problem, does it matter for you, from support side, if you are troubleshooting fully compliant FlexPod system or you'll provide same level of support even is the system is customized (not 100% FlexPod environment)?
4. When talking about vCenter, can you share your opinion about following: what is the most important reason to create the cluster and what will be the most important limitation?
5. I know that NetApp has feature called Rapid Clones that allows faster cloning than what vCenter offers. Any chance you can compare the two? I remember that NetApp option should be much faster but didn't understand what is actually happening during the cloning process and I'm hoping you can clarify this? Maybe a quick hint here: seems to me it will be helpful if I could understand the traffic path that is used in each case. Also, it will be nice to know if Vblock (i.e. EMC) offers similar feature and how it is called.
6. Can I connect Nexus 2000 to the FI6xxx?
7. Is vBlock utilizing Fabric Failover? Seems to me not and would like to hear your opinion why.
Thanks for providing us this opportunity to talk about this great topic.
Regards,
Tenaro

Registering with the WebEx Data Center and the Cisco WebEx Node Management System

Dear guys, ...
Please help,
i want to implement to webex node ASR1000, i have read in "Configuring the Cisco Webex Node for ASR 100.pdf", there is prerequisites to implement it, that is "Registering with the WebEx Data Center and the Cisco WebEx Node Management System"
Can someone tell how to "Registering with the WebEx Data Center and the Cisco WebEx Node Management System"
Are there any step by step documentation to "Registering with the WebEx Data Center and the Cisco WebEx Node Management System"?
Thank you
BR

You should have received a PAK Key with your order. Go to Cisco licensing and enter the PAK Key as this will start the process. Once the PAK Key is validated a screen will be displayed to enter your request for ASR 100 integration. It normally takes a few days to a couple of weeks to get the information back from WebEx needed to configure your ASR.
If you did not get a PAK Key contact your WebEx rep to get the process started to integrate your ASR to your WebEx site.
Hope this helps
John

Assign patch levels for component versions of system: Maintenance Optimizer

Hello,
I am trying to have Maintenance Optimizer check for what files I need to download. However, I get the following error:
Assign patch levels for component versions of system SXM.
I susepect that the problem really lies in the fact that the "SP Levels" in the "Software Components" tab is not populated in SMSY.
Does something read that information from the child system and populate the data automatically? This is a new system install, and perhaps a step was missed in solman.
Thanks,
John

Hi John,
MOPZ directs you to SAP Software Download Center in order to show you the lastest status and available packages.
If you are not seeing the packages perhaps you created you satellite system at solution manager pointing to the wrong product/version.
MOPZ is created to point you to the available Support Package Stacks for its products.
Normally one creates a system in solution manager defining it as an ECC server ( this does not have a download page for MOPZ ) when the correct assignment would be SAP ERP ( this last has a download page for MOPZ ).
If this is your case, you´ll need to redefine the satellite system again in our solution manager.
hope this helps.

Can anyone help with a good system maintenance tool for ML

Does any one have any suggestions for a good dependable all-in-one system maintenance tool for ML and is it straight forward and easy to use?
Thanks in advance .....

You really have no need for one. That said:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior. Versions 1.5.1 and later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.)
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion or later.)
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Additional suggestions will be found in
1. Mac Maintenance Quick Assist,
2. Mac OS X speed FAQ,
3. Speeding up Macs,
4. Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance,
5. Essential Mac Maintenance: Get set up,
6. Essential Mac Maintenance: Rev up your routines,
7. Maintaining OS X,
8. Five Mac maintenance myths,
9. How to Speed up Macs, and
10. Myths of required versus not required maintenance for Mac OS X.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space.

Maintenance Windows - Start Date

Hi. I'm setting up some maintenance windows for a quarterly patching activity - but I'm a bit confused about exactly how that works.
I want to set the recurrence pattern for every 3 months - and for the 3rd Saturday of each month. No problem.
But I don't understand how to use the 'effective Date' setting and how this affects when the first one will be?
So - for instance - if i want to have the first window in my quarterly schedule to be the 3rd Saturday in October - what do i set the effective date to be? The 18th October? Or something else?

The effective date is when the MW will become effective from on that collection. So if you take a look at the image below I have set the MW to become effective from today but the MW will be open from 01:00 - 04:00 on the 3rd Sat every 3 months for Software
Updates only.
Cheers

There is something that I have to do before start to configure these modules...? enable some feature or license in order to see the ports with show running CLI...?

Schedule Line Generation at Different dates

Dear MM gurus
SUB:- Schedule Line Generation at Different dates
We have requirement of generating the shcedule line on different dates
in case multi supplier.
Say the subject part is supplied by 3 different supplier when executing MRP
system generated the schedule line on same date for each supplier,
however the business requirement is not to receive all material on same
date but to receive the same on say three consecutive dates,say schedule line for first Vendor 20.11.2007 ,22.11.2007 for second vendor ,23.11
for third Vendor and so on.
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Ashok Ugar

I have not presented my problem to them. It is ofcourse possible that this SAP note is not applicable for my problem, but I noticed the first paragraphs as relevant.
The problem now seems solved by the way. An order desk/planning empoyees has changed the order quantity and the confirmed quantity to 15.000 pieces. So this line is now fully delivered. Th edelivered quantity is now stated in the schedule line.

Deploying Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) in Data Center Networks

Welcome to the Cisco Support Community Ask the Expert conversation. This is an opportunity to learn and ask questions about how to plan, design, and implement Cisco Overlay Transport Virtualization (OTV) in your Data Center Network with Cisco experts Anees Mohamed Abdulla and Pranav Doshi.
Anees Mohamed Abdulla is a network consulting engineer for Cisco Advanced Services, where he has been delivering plan, design, and implementation services for enterprise-class data center networks with leading technologies such as vPC, FabricPath, and OTV. He has 10 years of experience in the enterprise data center networking area and has carried various roles within Cisco such as LAN switching content engineer and LAN switching TAC engineer. He holds a bachelor's degree in electronics and communications and has a CCIE certification 18764 in routing and switching.
Pranav Doshi is a network consulting engineer for Cisco Advanced Services, where he has been delivering plan, design, and implementation services for enterprise-class data center networks with leading technologies such as vPC, FabricPath, and OTV. Pranav has experience in the enterprise data center networking area and has carried various roles within Cisco such as LAN switching TAC engineer and now network consulting engineer. He holds a bachelor's degree in electronics and communications and a master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California.
Remember to use the rating system to let Anees and Pranav know if you have received an adequate response.
Because of the volume expected during this event, Anees and Pranav might not be able to answer each question. Remember that you can continue the conversation on the Data Center, sub-community forum shortly after the event. This event lasts through August 23, 2013. Visit this forum often to view responses to your questions and the questions of other Cisco Support Community members.

Hi Dennis,
    All those Layer 2 extension technologies require STP to be extended between Data Centers if you need to have multiple paths between Data Centers. OTV does not extend STP rather it has its own mechanism (AED election) to avoid loop when multiple paths are enabled. It means any STP control plane issue, we don't carry to the other Data Center.
    OTV natively suppresses Unknown Unicast Flooding across the OTV overlay. Unknown unicast flooding is a painful problem in layer 2 network and difficult to troubleshoot to identify the root cause if you don't have proper network monitoring tool.
   It has ARP optimization which eliminates flooding ARP packets across Data Center by responding locally with cached ARP messages. One of the common issues I have seen in Data Center is some server or device in the network sends continuous ARP packets which hits Control plane in the Aggregation layer which in turn causes network connectivity issue.
The above three points proves the Layer 2 domain isolation between data centers. If you have redundant Data Centers with Layer 2 extended without OTV, the above explained layer 2 issue which happens in one Data Center carries the same failure to the second data center which creates the question of what is the point of having two different Data Centers if we can not isolate the failure domain.
OTV natively supports HSRP localization with few command lines. This is a very important requirement in building Active/Active Data Center.
Even though your question is related to L2TP, OTV deserves the comparison with VPLS and those comparison will also be applicable for L2TP. The below link explains in detail...
