Setting up a RAID 0 between the Mini's internal HD and an external

Would it be possible to set up a RAID 0 between two hard drive, one being the internal drive of the MacMini and the other being an external firewire drive?
Would these two drive have to be configured outside of the computer in external enclosure and then one transplanted into the mac mini, or will the operating system allow this to be set up between the two drive?

Yes you can RAID the internal Mac mini 2.5" hard drive with a FireWire external, but a striped RAID set is always limited by the speed of the slowest drive and the size of the smallest drive.
As such I would not expect much of a performance gain and you would have to erase your internal drive to create the striped RAID set while booting from a 3rd drive to setup the RAID0.
Using a FW boot drive will give you increased performance. You can see details here:

Or if you really want to speed up the Mac mini read about the AMUG Super-mini project which uses 3.5" SATA hard drives. It was tested in single and RAID0 configurations on the internal ATA/100 IDE bus of the Mac mini

Using a KVM switch between the Mini and a PC

I've just bought a Mini to try out the whole Mac experience.
I'm having trouble getting a KVM switch to work with the Mac.
I have a Tripp Lite B034-002-R KVM switch to share between the Mini and my WinXP PC. The switch changes over to the other computer when you press NUM LOCK twice within 2 seconds. This is working in the PC (i.e. switching from the PC to the Mac is fine) but is not working in the Mac (i.e. the switch doesn't change from the Mac to the PC).
I have a MS "Natural Keyboard Pro" USB keyboard.
Is the NUM LOCK key somehow disabled or something on the Mac? I'm hoping there's some knob I can turn to get this working.
Thanks for your help,
Tom

I bought an IOGEAR GCS632U KVM switch to move between my Mini and Windows XP Pro PC. The keyboard is an Apple Pro. The switch was perfect for several days, then every attempt at invoking the hot key mode would fail; resetting the switch would not correct the problem. IOGEAR Support had me try another keyboard, which is the current standard Apple wired keyboard (the $30 one); it had the same problem as the Pro keyboard. Also we tried other things, but all failed. Sent the KVM switch to IOGEAR and they sent me a new one. After two days using the new switch, the keyboard malfunctioned; this time it was the backward delete key that failed. Same problem using other Apple keyboard. IOGEAR Support, after going through the same previous routine in which nothing succeeded in correcting the problem, tells me to return the switch and they will send me another. Based on my experience, apparently the GCS632U model has an incompatibility problem with (some?) Apple keyboards. This is confirmed by two posts on other discussion groups sites. Also, IOGEAR Support would almost admit that to be the case. They suggested that I use a generic keyboard, but I refuse to buy one just to use that KVM switch. IOGEAR should post the potential problem on their website as a warning.
Does anyone out there know from experience that a particular IOGEAR model does work with an Apple keyboard? IOGEAR Support says that they will send me a different model if I pay the difference. Or can anyone give me the brand name and model number of any KVM switch known to be compatible with Apple keyboards (particularly one that costs less thatn $75)? A ConnectPro 2-port USB KVM switch will work, according to another discussion group post. Any advice or information will be much appreciated.

A significant difference between the metrics captured at Proxy and BS level

Context: -
          Currently we have following set up for a particular OSB project.
AccountManager
          Interface …… (this has all the schemas and wsdls)
          Services
               AccountManagerProxy… (Proxy service)
               AccountManagerBS … (Business service)
AccountManagerBS – is configured with end point URL to interface with back-end system.
AccountManagerProxy – includes a ‘Route to’ action for linking to AccountManagerBS as given below
The performance monitoring is enabled at AccountManagerProxy and AccountManagerBS level.
Test Scenario: - I am running a simple load test for AccountManager and checking performance metrics from OSB dashboard.
Expected behavior: - The performance metrics at proxy and at BS level should not differ more than few milliseconds (10-50 msec)
Problem Statement: - I am seeing a significant difference (like 40 to 50 seconds) between the metrics captured at proxy and BS level.
     As an example, the number at proxy level is “1 minute 20 seconds” and the number at BS level is ‘500 milliseconds’
     Moreover, this behavior is not consistent. It has started showing this behavior in last few days. The further impact of this is ‘stuck threads’ on webLogic server and hence the high possibility of memory outage. I have already restarted the Admin/managed-1/managed-2 servers couple of times.
Can anyone help me understand and identify the exact problem area for this issue?

does your proxy do any authentication with any 3rd party auth providers ?
Also in proxy service monitoring are you seeing all time at route node ? .. is the business service request type different that the contents of $body before the route? .. there could be some implicit transofmations if yes...

My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign in. It will not let me sign in, nor can I power it off. Help!

My Iphone 4S keeps flashing between the Apple logo, blank screen and sign on screen. It will not let me sign on or power off. It started about 20 mins ago. One of my friends started having the same issue at the same time. How can I fix this?

Hi Bucky16,
If you haven't already done so, you may want to reset the iPhone:

If the above does not resolve your issue, the next best step will be to restore your iPhone using a computer with iTunes:

Difference between the design of clusters PCLx and others like RFBLG etc .

There are a few nagging questions which I was not able to find in the forum hence i have to post a new question.
I am a little confused about the difference between the different clusters .
If i start with RFBLG i.e. the cluster for BSEG BSEC etc ,I can see that the tables which are part of this cluster
can be viewed through different methods like
1) whr usd list for RFBLG
2) dd02l table and give the required parameters there
now when I compare this with another so-called cluster PCL1 if find that PCL1 is not recognized as a cluster
and also I am not able to see the same in dd02l table when i give PCL1 and the tabtype as cluster which I was able to see
for the RFBLG ,there are other tables similar to RFBLG .
1) SO what is the difference between the RFBLG type of clusters and the PCLx type of cluster
2) are pclx and rfblg..type of clusters same ?
3) why does PCL1 shows that it is a transparent table ? where as rfblg shows in a diff way in se11
4) i know we access data from PCL1 using import and export stmts ,DO OR CAN WE DO THE SAME FOR RFBLG
5) I found that each and evry cluster table had diff fields ,this was kinda surprising for me as I had been thinking
that all cluster tables need to follow a certain rule ,SO WHO DECIDES THE FIELDS OF A TABLE CLUSTER ?
6) PCL1 has the index button enabled ,which again I think is not according to the cluster table rules?how?
7) I understand that we can save data in form of internal tables in the PCL1 cluster ,can we do the same in RFBLG ?
8) Can I think on lines that PCL1 and RFBLG type of cluster are two totally different types of data dictionary objects
and the usage and implementation of both of them is different and that the design and the BASE of both of such objects
is different .
I know this is a long list but I am sure that answers to these questions would really require some one who has really really work hard and invested a lot of time in understanding the dictionary system.I am awaiting a few answers ,few hints and a healthy discussion till we get them .
Thanks ...

Hello,
1/
BSEG is a typical Cluster Table.
This means that the physical table BSEG does NOT exist in the database, physical data for BSEG is stored in the database (table) cluster RFBLG.
In ABAP however you can perform selects on BSEG (with all fields from the SAP repository structure, see SE11 on BSEG), during execution the SAP database layer will translate these statements to physical selects in the RFBLG database table, so in ABAP this is transparant.
More info :

2/
PCL1, PCL2, ... are normal SAP transparent tables, however in HR they are often called HR cluster table.
Transparent tables are SAP objects where there is also a database table with the same name that contains the physical data.
However the PCL tables are somewhat different from normal transparent tables (data is compressed, external programs can not interpret the data, ...).
This means that in ABAP you can not use simple SQL statements to access data in PCL tables (because of compressed format).
In stead statements like EXPORT TO DATABASE and IMPORT FROM DATABASE need to be used.

Differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9"

Dear Adobe Support Team,
I need to know the differences between the "Adobe Acrobat Versions 7 and 9". I have worked with Acrobat 7 and have used the same script after installing Acrobat 9 for Automation Testing with QTP for validating pdf. The object "AcroExch.AVDoc" is not getting identified as object while working in QTP in the system/machine which has Acrobat 9 installed, whereas it works well in the machine which has Acrobat 7 installed . So it will be better if two things are known as per my understanding, ie.,
it must have compatibility issue (i need the difference between "Adobe Acrobat versions 7 & 9" to assure this) or
installation issue( which can be confirmed if the former question is answered).
So i kindly request you to help me out for this scenario.
Kind Regards,
Vikraman.G

Countless new features were introduced between Acrobat 7 and 9, are you really expecting us to type out a full list from memory?
If you are having specific issues with the Acrobat SDK, first refer to the Acrobat SDK for the higher version. If there remains an issue I suggest posting about the specific problem in the Acrobat SDK forum, rather than asking for an encylopedia of all possible information...
Note that Adobe do not support multiple installations of Acrobat on the same machine, so you can expect development issues if you do this.

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs

What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in the current iMacs?

I am assuming you are talking about PPC Macs? Those haven't been manufactured or sold in years (since early 2006 I believe) when Apple started using Intel processors. There are still some apps which run on PPC code only which makes them incompatible with the last three Mac operating systems.
There are different Applecare products depending on which Mac product you buy, although the coverage is about the same (except for iOS devices).

Between the Imac 2.7 I5 and the Imac 3.4 I7...

I'm in between the Imac 2.7 I5 and the Imac 3.4 I7. I know there's a $500 difference so I'm trying to see if I really need that much power. I do mostly audio stuff with Digital Performer and Native Instruments Komplete which streams instruments. I'm also going to boost the RAM to 16GB. I'm mainly worried about glitching. I want to make sure that when I run photoshop and Final Cut Express that I won't have a problem with the 2.7 i5. Will it be fast enough? $500 is a lot of money for power that I may or may not use and would rather spend it on software upgrades if I truely don't need the fastest Imac. What is your opinion?
