Single 5870 vs Dual 5770?

For final cut x/compressor/motion needs, would it be more beneficial performance-wise to go with a pair of 5770s or a single 5870?

Thanks, sounds like the 5780 is the better choice. Faster single clock vs multiple slower clocks.
And yes, the GT120 is terribly slow. I went to another lab on campus to do a final cut training, and they had dual 5770s. Night and day.
Thanks!

Single DVI to Dual DVI

I own a 23" Apple clear-plastic-case display with an ADC connection. I also own an Apple DVI to ADC converter. Is it possible to use some sort of adapter to vonnect my display to a Dual DVI connection? Thanks.

When you take the Apple DVI-to-ADC connector (with power supply) and attach it to your ADC display, it converts your display into a DVI display with a power supply "brick" in the cable. ANY DVI computer output (Single-Link or Dual-Link, or adapted from something else) can be used to power your new hybrid DVI display, since it 1920 wide or less.

Single processor vs dual core

Hi all, hope this is the right place to put this post.
I'm finally about to take the plunge and get a new mac pro, putting my old G4 out to graze.
My question is, which machine is the best? A single processor or dual core?
I work mainly with photoshop, illustrator, indesign, painter and increasingly flash and dreamweaver.
It's going to cost me a couple of thousand so I need to get my choice right.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi northey;
It all depends on how intensely you use the apps you listed.
If you just dabble in them never doing anything very intense then single processor will probably be sufficient.
If on the other hand you use these apps to their fullest and with great intensity then the dual processor would be the better choice.
A second point if you use the apps professional to make money then the dual processor would be the better choice since time is money.

Single Layer or Dual Layer DVD?

Hi,
I just made a DVD for a client who now wants to make a small number of copies using a third party software.
They've asked me if they should order single layer or dual layer DVDs? I think the answer is single layer, but I want to make sure.
When I made the DVD, I set the size at 4.7 GB, although I only used up 3.21 GB.
That means I should tell them to order single layer, right?
Thanks
Carolyn

I would also urge them to order Falcon Pro, Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden blank media.
Good luck,
Hunt

Configuration from Single Controller to Dual in SE 3510

Hi,
I have one Sun StorEdge 3510 with single controller. I am not trying to configure the controller with dual controller card. As soon as I insert second controller card I am not able to see the LUN from Solaris 10. Please advice what all changes I require to do while configuring from Single Controller to dual controller.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards,
Bikash

I dont think there is any difference in Callmanager software for a dual processor versus single processor server. For 7845 (dual processor) the hardware detection disks may be different from the one for single processor (7825, 7835)
Migrating from one to another is as easy as taking a BARS backup from one server, build the other server to the same version and restore it. (Make sure server name and ip are the same for both servers)

Running 3 displays on a Mac Pro with a single ATI Radeon HD 5770?

Hi all,
I am trying to run 2 19" widescreen monitors with VGA connections and a Sony 32" tv simulantaneously on my Mac Pro. Was wondering if anyone could offer some knowledge on this highly discussed topic...As far as I am aware the main problems that seem to arise with other users on similar forums when trying to do this is the mis-informed use of passive adapters as opposed to active adapters. Is this correct, or is there more to consider here? Do I need to buy a second HD 5770?
After some research here is my proposed setup:
Monitor 1: ACTIVE mini displayport to VGA adapter
Monitor 2: ACTIVE mini displayport to VGA adapter
Monitor 3: DVI port to HDMI cable
Should this solve my problems?
The active adapter that I am looking to buy is this:
http://www.accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/mdp_vga.htm
Hope someone out there can be of some assistance,
Thanks,
Stefan.

That setup should work. I believe all mini-displayport (mDP) to vga adaptors are considered as "active". I know that apple documents that their adaptor is considered active (see note in this doc). So you satisfy the requirement of having two active adaptors to support three monitors on a 5x70. And I think the Accell one you linked to is also fine.
Note, that while your setup will work to drive the video to the two vga's and HDTV's, you still need to address how to pass audio to the HDTV. DVI does not support audio. If you aren't interested in passing audio then you can ignore the reast of this post.
In my setup with a 5870 I have a vga monitor going through one of the apple mDP-to-vga adaptors (that counts as one active adaptor). I also have a 2010 27" apple LCD monitor which of course connects directly to the second mDP (no active adapter so I still need a another). And like you I want may HDTV connected to the DVI. So to satisfy the requirement of a second active adaptor, and to also avoid having to pass analog audio cables to the TV (which you have the option to do with your setup), I chose to use the following device with satisfies the requirement of an "active" adaptor.
DVI & S/PDIF Digital Coax/Optical Toslink Audio to HDMI Converter
This allows me to pass the DVI and TOSLINK (digital) audio to that converter and string a single HDMI cable to my HDTV. Works perfectly. The only thing about that converter is it's limited to 1080i, not 1080p. I don't care, couldn't tell the difference anyway on a 32" HDTV.
Finally, to go along with all this I use SwitchResX which allows me to set up multiple monitor configurations. So I can enable the TV when I want to use it from my computer and disable it when I don't. And I can switch the configurations with a menu or hot-keys. And with a little applescripting which you can add to SwithResX configurations I can even switch the audio from my computer to the TOSLINK, i.e., switch between my computer speakers and those attached to the TV.

How to generate multiple records on a single sql from dual table

I wanted to generate ten sequence nos in a single sql statement from dual table.
Is there any way to use that.
I think somebody can help me on this by using level clause

I'm not 100% sure if I understand your requirement: Do you really want to use an Oracle Sequence, as Alex already demonstrated?
Or just a 'one-time-bunch-of-sequential-numbers'.
In the latter case you can just select level:
SQL> select level
2 from   dual
3 connect by level <= 10;
     LEVEL
         1
         2
         3

Rebuild our XI application server from Single stack to dual stack

Hello,
We currently have an XI landscape with two application servers, the CI is of course a dual stack system, however the two app servers are single stacked, however we would like to make the two app servers into DUAL STACKs, my first guess was to rebuild the two apps from scratch and reinstall them as a dual stack apps. My Q is:
First: Do we need to rebuild both app servers, or can we make a change to the app servers to modify them to become dual stacked
Second: If we do need to rebuild both these apps, is there a specific document available to do this on Market place for installing a Dual stack app servers with PI?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Thank you all for your feedback,
Denny Liao, it is very interesting question you implied, we do have a J2EE directory created under the /usr/sap/SID/D30 directory:
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30
mqaapz28:xq9adm 13% ls -ltr
total 36
drwxr-xr-x   7 xq9adm   sapsys        96 Aug 24 2009 igs

drwxr-xr-x   3 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Nov 24 10:48 log
obviously this app server does not have any (jlaunch/jcontrol process running) therefore it is not running as dual stacked. but interestingly enough I do see logs in the
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster/server0/log directory created at the time of the initial install. and under:
/usr/sap/XQ9/D30/j2ee/cluster
mqaapz28:xq9adm 29% ls -ltr

drwxr-xr-x 11 xq9adm   sapsys      1024 Aug 26 2009 server0
as per the note you mentioned above (741289 ) this explains how to recover a lost J2EE parameter setup, I am guessing this can be simply followed and re-enable the app server to run as a dual stack.
also my system information for the J2EE on the CI is:

Single Homed or Dual Homed FEX

With the ability to do enhanced VPCs now on the FEXs is there any benefit to have a mixture of having of single attached FEXs and dual homed FEXs?
Here are some benefits as I see them
Single homed FEX is easier to trouble shoot as the topology is not as complex.
A dual homed FEX will support both dual attached hosts and a single attached host. So this means we only have one topology to deal with (everything dual homed)
Any other pros or cons?
Thanks

If you have any servers with only one uplink, you want dual homed FEXes for redundancy.
Also, it depend on the number of FEXes you are connecting to the same set of switches. For example: the max number of FEXes that can be uplinked to a set of 6k switches is 24 if you are dual homed, but if you are single homed the max is 48 (24 per switch).

Rip a single angle from dual-angle DVD

I am trying to rip a single angle from a dual angle DVD we have produced. I don't want to transcode the footage, but rather just demux it to the two original elementary streams. I have tried using MPEGStreamclip, but it seems to interleave the two angles in the resulting MPEG. Anyone have any tricks to demuxing just a certain angle?

Hi
+1) I will get the most compression (lowest quality) if I burn it on a single layer DVD because there is less space available.+
Not surely so. iDVD doesn't care about GBs at all - only movie duration time
(including time for iDVD menues)
iDVD 8 and 9 has three levels of qualities iDVD 6 has the two last ones
for Single layer DVDs (DL - about double the time)
• Professional Quality (movies up to 120 min.) - BEST
• Best Performances (movies less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD
• High Quality (in iDVD08) / Best Quality (in iDVD6) (movies up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
So If Your movie is less than 120 minutes and You use a very simple menu eg "Brushed
Metal" no animation or audio.
Then I doubt that You'll get any better quality with DL-DVDs
+2) If i use a dual layer DVD, the compression should be better because of the additional space.+
Not if Your movie is less than 120 minutes. iDVD doesn't optimize after space.
(Roxio Toast™ can do this as I understands it)
+3) If i use a blu ray DVD and burner, I can create the least compression, possibly none (if I can reduce movie to 40gb from 41), therefore best quality (yes, I know it will only play on blu ray players).+
No version of iDVD can address any Blue-Ray DVD burner AT ALL.
(Roxio Toast™ can do this)
Hopefully being of any help Yours Bengt W

Migrating from single processor to dual processor Callmanager

Hi Networkers,
had anyone install a Callmanager 4.1 dual processor version of CM4.1-K9-X345D= before in a single CPU in a dual processor capable server before.
Can it work in the first place?
Had anyone successfully migrate it to a dual-processor later on?

I dont think there is any difference in Callmanager software for a dual processor versus single processor server. For 7845 (dual processor) the hardware detection disks may be different from the one for single processor (7825, 7835)
Migrating from one to another is as easy as taking a BARS backup from one server, build the other server to the same version and restore it. (Make sure server name and ip are the same for both servers)

Upgrading from single CPU to dual ?

Hey,
With the multi-threaded OpenGL enabled by leopard on powerPC macs i was thinking of replacing the single 1.25 GHz CPU with a stock dual 1.25 GHz to improve performance in World of Warcraft. Any idea what if any i would gain in performance ?
Getting a mac pro is around 2 years off for me and i could pick up a dual CPU for a relatively cheap price.
Thanks

OK, I did a quick check of a technical manual.
You need to check the fabrication number on the logic board.
It's right next to the SLOT 5 PCI slot, the one farthest from the RAM slots.
It'll be of the format APPLE COMPUTER INC. 820-1308-A or similar number.
If it's 820-1308, 820-1440, or 820-1445, you can't just replace the CPU, there's a compatability issue between those logic boards and replacement CPU's (unless the CPU comes from a logic board with one of those fabrication levels. Apple recommends ordering a replacement logic board, CPU (part number 661-3654).
Otherwise you should be fine, although I'm concerned about taking a dual CPU from an MDD that pre-dates your single 1.25GHz G4 by a whole year.
When you get to dual CPU there may be some updates that need to be applied, I'm remembering a fix that disables one CPU on shutdown since having two active caused clock issues. Could have been part of a general OSX fix though.

Single VS. Dual Layer discs

1. How common are home DVD players and mac/pc players that have the
ability to read dual-layer discs?
2. What other reasons, if any, would you not want to use a dual layer disc?
Thanks.

1. How common are home DVD players and mac/pc players that have the
ability to read dual-layer discs?
Alot more common than they were in the past, and most standalone players are able to read DL. FWIW, this really applies for disc from your computer and not replicated discs.
2. What other reasons, if any, would you not want to use a dual layer disc?
More costly than single layer. Also you need to make sure to author properly for layer breaks. The selection of single vs dual really should revolve around the size of your project (based on running time) and not the media itself. Most 2 hour or less projects (maybe even longer) should fit on a single layer fairly well with no major quality hit. Of course it varies based on the footage etc.
For the most part DVD-R are better for single layer DVD+R for DL.

Doubt on single stack or Dual Stack

Hello,
After logon to SAPgui how can we have come to know, system is installed on abap stack or dual stack.
Regards
K R Singh

Hello KR Singh,
the ways explained above are not sure shot ways to confirm if the system installed is single or dual stack.
HTTP Service can exist without J2EE as it did in older versions of SAP , same goes for the parameters (if they aren't configured properly).
The best way to check this is at the OS level.
Else you can do the following:
Check and validate the presence of J2EE schema in your database via transaction DB02
And combine this check with checking the presence of jlaunch and java processes in transaction ST06->Detailed Analysis->Top processes
Hope that helps.

Single WAE \ WCCP \ Dual Routers - Slow Accelerated Traffic

Our standard WAE design was to have dual WAE's at sites with dual Routers.
The WAE's are either 674's or 574's and the routers are Cisco ISR's all works well.
Several new sites have coome online but these sites now only have a single WAE devcie and two WAN routers. Some users at
The issue I have now is that some "Accelerated" sessions via the WAE devices are reported by users as being very slow. When those sessions are removed from WAAS policy and set to pass through the user reports normal access again.
On looking at the problem I have possibly identified that the lack of the command;
ip wccp redirect exclude in on the router interface
But this command was never applied to the exisiting design, though potentialy under normal conditiaon where both routers and both WAE's are working it's never been a problem.
From Cisco;
In any scenario where egress redirection is used, the command above MUST be issued on the router interface adjacent to the WAE. This command, "ip wccp redirect exclude in", ensures that packets received on the interface are not redirected again. This prevents an optimized packet from being rerouted directly back to the WAE. Instead, with this command applied, the router would simply see the packet coming in and forward it normally (WCCP would be bypassed for packets received on that interface).
The WAE's are NOT L2 connected to the Routers so the following config is applied,
rtr no 1
ip wccp 61 redirect-list WAAS
ip wccp 62 redirect-list WAAS
ip cef
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
description *** Data LAN
ip address x.y.7.6 255.255.255.192

ip wccp 62 redirect-list WAAS

exit
wccp router-list 1 x.y.7.1 x.y.7.6
wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1
wccp version 2
Option 2 below is used. But all sites have DUAL Routers. Note Redirect Exclude is NOT configured.
Thanks in advance for any support offered.

Thanks for your post, details below.
What do you mean by "sessions removed from WAE policy" ? Are you configuring static bypass on the WAE or are you excluding specific traffic with the WCCP redirect list ?
I am defining certain traffic as Passtrough via a ststic bypass on the WAE’s
- check if the slowness affects all the redirected traffic or just particular sources/destinations/applications
      Recent testing has identified it just seems to affect a certain share, which I am investigating as this share has some kind of "Archive" solution in place.
- make sure that the WCCP redirect ACL matches both directions of the connections
      It does
- check the redirect / return method that is being negotiated
      All OK
- make sure both routers are seeing the WAE via WCCP
      Yes they are
- check for "routing loop" in the WAE syslog.txt to understand if the WAE is receiving some traffic twice
      Investigating and will post reply.
Are the affected connections showing up in the "show stat connection" output on the WAE ? If so, are they optimized or PT ?
     They show as fully optimized when configured for the CIFS AO, but revert to PT when the static WAE policy is altered.
