SMA Upgrade

Dear Gentlemen,
I have the two appliances  for the SMA ASYNC 7.9.1 M 170 and quantity of two ESA ASYNC 8.5.6. 
I have two questions as in the following : 
1- Since I found no compatibility between the ESA 8.5.6 and the SMA 7.9.1, Can I do upgrade the SMA to 9.x ? But in the support of cisco I didn't find the downloads for the physical appliance IOS, I have found only for the virtual appliance (Cisco Content Security Management Virtual Appliance M000V), Is it applicable to install the 9.x version in the physical appliance and will it be compatabile to the ESA 8.5.6 ? 
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/security/security_management/sma/sma_all/SMA-ESA-WSA_Compatibility.pdf
2- Is there any way to a clustering between two SMA M-170 or such to utalize them in HA mode. 
Thanks in advance 

Thank you Ken,  
My question is from where can I take the IOS of 9 , Since if you tried  checking the IOS downloads for the physical appliance M170, you will not find it.However, you can find the IOS for the virtual appliance for the SMA , So is it possible to upgrade the current  physical appliance ( 7.9.1) with the IOS of the virtual one existing in cisco website, Or there is another way to find the iOS for newer releases other than 7.9.1 in Cisco for physical appliance ( M170). So it will be compatible to the ESA 8.5.6 ..
Secondly, could you forward this documentation link for the couple of SMA physical appliances in back up scenario..
Thanks so much..

  • Memory upgrade problems on Satellite L30-134

    I have just bought 2 x 1GB memory PC4200 for my L30-134 and installed them they work fine in BIOS, show up and read as they should do, but when windows is booting up it will crash with both modules installed, only ever gets to the screen with the loading bar going across and then I get blue screen.
    Forgot to make a note of the error code I am afraid... (Fool I know). If I remove one of the modules and install the original 512 module with just 1 of the 1GB ones it will work fine. BIOS has been updated to the latest 3.10 version and still I get the same problem...
    because all seems fine from within BIOS I am thinking that its more likely to be a software (windows) problem of some kind maybe some corrupt data in the registry or a virus maybe... has anybody any ideas?
    Also, the laptop is actually my step sons and he really wants to have the CPU upgraded from the Celeron 410 to one that's a little faster. When first looking into this we was told that several CPUs were compatible (although not really worth the hassle of installing) they were cel m 450 2 GHz, pent dual core t2060 and t2080, and also the core duo t2250,so he bought the t2250,and no surprises it wouldn't work, or should I say it powered up with no display and the shut off and just epeated the cycle. So did not take a genius to work out it wasn't compat...
    I know the t2080 are used in the L30's and are 1.73 533 FSB with 1MB L2 cache- 65nm and do stepping. The t2250 is identical apart from the L2 cache is 2MB and the stepping varies from do to mo depends when u bought it... seeing as ow he already has the CPU he's gonna sell it on and use the cash to buy the one that will work. If anybody has any info that could help make sure that he does not end up going round in circles I would really appreciate it...
    Oh and just to make you all laugh it was Toshiba tech line staff member that told him that the CPU would work and that the L30 was able to take 2 x 1GB memory and never once mentioned that there may be issues with both upgrades...
    Issues as in neither soddin work....lmao

    Hi!
    The specs. you posted are correct. Xpress 200 could support dual channel: "Variants available with single or dual channel system memory support ". But there is nothing about dual channel mode in Xpress 200M specs. I have identical modules, but EVEREST doesn't say the modules are running in dual channel mode. So I think the info you found on the website gives the answer, but here are some explanation from Wikipedia to clarify the definitions:
    *Dual-channel:*
    "Dual-channel-enabled memory controllers utilize two 64-bit data channels, resulting in a total bandwidth of 128-bits, to move data from RAM to the CPU. In order to achieve this, two or more DDR/DDR2 SDRAM memory modules must be installed into matching banks, which are usually color coded on the motherboard. These separate channels allow each memory module access to the memory controller, increasing throughput bandwidth."
    *DDR:*
    "DDR SDRAM or double data rate synchronous dynamic random access memory is a class of memory integrated circuit used in computers. It achieves greater bandwidth than the preceding single data rate SDRAM by transferring data on the rising and falling edges of the clock signal (double pumped). Effectively, it doubles the transfer rate without increasing the frequency of the memory bus."
    *DDR2:*
    "Like DDR before it, DDR2 cells transfer data both on the rising and falling edge of the clock (a technique called "dual pumping"). The key difference between DDR and DDR2 is that in DDR2 the bus is clocked at twice the speed of the memory cells, so four words of data can be transferred per memory cell cycle. Thus, without speeding up the memory cells themselves, DDR2 can effectively operate at twice the bus speed of DDR."
    *UMA (Unified Memory Architectrue):*
    "In computer architecture, Shared Memory Architecture (SMA) refers to a design where the graphics chip does not have its own dedicated memory, and instead shares the main system RAM with the CPU and other components."

  • After upgrade to mountain lion a hd with snow leopard will not boot and run the MBP

    Upgraded MacBook Pro to 10.8.2. Works fine. Swapped out the internal hard drive with 10.8.2 on it, put in the old hard drive with 10.6.8 and booted up as per usual. Mac fires up but dos not finish the boot process and it leaves me with an on and off pulsating gray folder that has a question mark on it. I have tried a brand new drive with a new 10.6.8 installed and it misbehaves the same way.
    Does the Apple store upgrade process alter the internal MacBook Pro or its software in any way? I was not, am not aware of such software. I want to be able to carry along two hard drives, swappable, with different OSX and applications when I go out to help people out of their problems. Something I have done successfully for the past 15 years - free of charge, I might add.
    This is the first time that I am stumped. I am not a programmer btw.
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile I shall keep on muckng about.

    Your problem is that your old HD is no longer blessed. if you can, connect both drives at  the smae time, then
    First, open the “Startup Disk” preference pane and select “Mac OS X” as the operating system to boot. This will re-bless your Mac OS X volume on the older install.
    No need to delete or zero the drive at all.

  • Moving my photos and PSE catalog to a new machine... and upgrading

    H
    I am seeking advice on the best way to do the following: 
    - move my photos from my current laptop to a new laptop
    - recreate my current PSE catalog on the new machine
    - do both of the above while also upgrading to PSE 11 on the new machine.
    The last time I did this sort of action -- moved my photos to a new machine -- it was sheer bedlum.  Hoping to avoid the pain this time.  
    Do I first need to move my photos to the new laptop -- recreating the exact smae file structure that I have today -- amd them export and import the PSE catalog? I want to repeserve the album structure and tagging that I have created.....    
    Any help/pointers appreciated. 

    The recommended way to move to another computer with a new OS or PSE version is to use the built-in backup and restore function in PSE.
    - Start with a clean catalog : reconnect missing files, repair, optimize. That's good practice even if it is not strictly necessary.
    - Do a full backup on an external media (external USB drives are safe and affordable). If you have several catalogs, do as many backups. Warning ! each separate backup must be in its own separate folder.
    - Now, you have installed your PSE version (possibly a newer version) on the new computer, you can do a restore from each catalog backup. That will restore the catalog and the picture files ; if you have checked the option to keep the folder tree structure, it will be kept.
    The smart thing about this process is that not only everything is restored, but if you have upgraded to a newer PSE version, the catalog will be automatically converted to the newer version ; furthermore, you have a backup!

    http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/common-catalog-issues-upgrade-elements.html
    Edit:
    This shows why a backup from the organizer is often a better solution than external backup solutions. Suppose your old computer crashes, you can restore to a new computer and newer PSE version easily. It's also a good way to update a secondary computer (a laptop for instance) to the same 'sync'  than the master computer.

  • Net-SNMP 5.0.9 used in Solaris 10 sma

    We are using AgentX protocol in an application sub-agent
    According to Net-SNMP change log, AgentX protocol support was experimental up to release 5.0.7 but going to the following link:
    http://net-snmp.sourceforge.net/tutorial/tutorial-5/toolkit/demon/index.html
    "The AgentX support in net-snmp versions prior to 5.1 is beta level quality. Although many people have used it successfully, we strongly recommend AgentX sub-agent developers use 5.1.2 or higher."
    Why is the Net-SNMP version so low in the Solaris 10 sma build? Cureent version is 5.3.0.1

    Hello.
    I would also like to know how to upgrade the version of net-snmp that the System Management Agent uses so that I can monitor servers with more than one CPU.
    Any guidance much appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Which version should I upgrade to? - 5.7/6.7 or 6.0?

    Hi,
    For the first time, IronPort currently has two WSA releases available for preview*. As there is no upgrade path available between those releases, this is a fork in the release path.
    This obviously raises the question which version you should upgrade to. As I've seen some discussion around this in other posts and as this will become even more important once we hit general availability, I'll try to shed some light on this here.
    So, which version is right for you?
    * The two releases have a different focus and feature set:
    Marconi (5.7 on the WSA, 6.7 on the SMA) introduces Centralized Policy Management and Delegated Administration of your Web Security Appliances via a Security Management Appliance (M-Series).
    * Aurora (6.0) introduces native FTP, Data Loss Prevention / IronPort Data Security, support for AD 2008 and other authentication and policy enhancements.
    Depending on your needs, one of them will be more appealing than the other. For now, you will have to decide which feature set you want to use in the short term until we release a version of AsyncOS for Web / Management that combines both feature sets.
    Important facts to keep in mind:
    * There is no upgrade path from 5.7 to 6.0 or vice versa on the WSA. Once you decide to use the functionality of one of the releases, you will only be able to use the features of the other release after an upgrade to AsyncOS for Web 6.3 and AsyncOS for Management 6.7.3 which is scheduled for Q4 2009.
    * ICCM v1 is no longer available on AsyncOS for Management 6.7 so if you want to manage your Web Security Appliances via ICCM v1 do not upgrade your SMA to 6.7.
    * AsyncOS 6.7 for Management supports Centralized Tracking / Reporting for your Email Security Appliances running AsyncOS 6.5 for Email or newer only. Please ensure that your Email Security Appliances run 6.5 or newer or upgrade accordingly if you want to use them with your SMA.
    * 'preview' means that the release is not generally available yet (slow roll-out) but can be provisioned to anybody interested in the new features or fixes available in the new release.

    You should be able to just tell your client to ftp directly to the proxy and then give the appropriate FTP info, such as the actual FTP server to connect to.
    I'm pretty sure that the exact details are in the User Guide. I'll check the guide shortly.
    If you are doing authentication with FTP proxy, you will have to enter your credentials in the special format that is specified in the FTP configuration.

  • Migration is in progress and thus upgrade can be done as soon as migration is 100% complete.

    When I click on the "Upgrade Options" button on one of my C670s I get this message:
    Migration is in progress and thus upgrade can be done as soon as migration is 100% complete.
    Any thoughts?

    Usually the only thing we see w/ migration message and % is during PVO setup and migration to SMA.  If that is the case... there could be stale or incomplete messages that did not migration or get accounted for.  Suggestion would be to disable CPQ from the ESA side, commit changes, and then re-review and enable the CPQ/PVO to see what occurs.  This should clear out after that has checked itself.

  • Nokia E71 firmware upgrade to 210.21.006 problems

    I have just upgraded my firmware to the above version and now have the following problems; 1) the phone freezes 2) I cannot end an active call by pressing the red button but have to go to the menu and choose end active call. 3) the right soft key doesn't work in several apps. 4) the camera is now very slow to save image and yet again the right softkey (back) won't work and you have to press the home key and restart the camera between pictures.5) the phone has reset itself 7 times since the upgrade, during calls, internet or just on standby.                                                                    Has anyone else upgraded and had the smae problems? the phone was fine before the upgrade and i only did the upgrade as it was supposed to have improved the camera and the audio quality. I have just re-installed the update to see if this amkes a difference. Here's hoping.

    It’s now over 24 hours since I emailed Nokia and I haven't received a reply yet, not even an acknowledgement of the email. I think if I haven’t received a positive reply by Friday everyone that has problems should send a blanket email to Nokia (all sections of support) and see if they reply.
     It would appear that Nokia are concerned with quantity of sales rather than quality of product and services
    .I will post any response

  • AsyncOS 8.0 : General Availability and upgrade paths

    Hi,
    I saw that AsyncOS 8.0 is currently in FCS, and I have 2 questions :
    - When will this release be available in GA (download from the appliance) ?
    - Can we upgrade from AsyncOS 7.6.3 to AsyncOS 8.0 ? When I read the release notes, it says no, but I don't understand why...
    I am designing my new Ironport architecture, so I have to determine the AsyncOS targeted version, and the answers to these two questions will really help me.
    Thank you in advance
    Best Regards
    Quentin

    Hello Quentin.
    While I can't give you exact dates,  I can asure you that it will be soon, next two months.
    Yes, you will be able to upgrade to AsyncOS 8.0.0/8.0.1 from 7.6.3, and various other branches. A complete upgrade list will be made available in the release notes.   Finally, please know that 8.0.0 will not be GA released. we have fixed  defects to the code that  have been pushed into AsyncOS 8.0.1.  We'll be refreshing 8.0.0 with 8.0.1  and the SMA version 8.1.0 with 8.1.1.
    If you  would like 8.0.1 please let any of our Content Security TAC Engineers know.  We can make the version available to your serial number(s) when it is released.  When it is GA, all machines xx60, xx70 will see the upgrade without the need to provision it.
    Cheers,
    Alvaro

  • IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

    My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

    If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
    You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
    Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

    The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • Ipod touch can no longer connect to XP following Apple upgrade, HELP !

    This is a nightmare. My son has an ipod touch (8gb)purchased a couple of months, and it's been fine until a couple of days ago. I downloaded some music for him, and just about to synch when Apple informed me on itunes of a software upgrade, so naturally I did this. However, it could not complete it saying there was a problem installing the hardware. The ipod then had a permanent picture of a usb cable pointing towards the itunes logo. Itunes no longer recognises this ipod or my own ipod as a device.
    I'm not a techhie expert, but I generally know my way around computers, however I could not resolve this.
    I called the Apple technical support desk, where I spent 1 hour 45 minutes with 2 different advisors who could not resolve this. We installed and re-installed various components from drivers to itunes to anti virus software, however nothing could change. There was simply no recognition of the ipod at all when connected.It does give a pop up message to restore the ipod, however you can't actually click on the restore button because to have to get rid of the pop up message first, then the screen with the restore facility disappears.
    Windows xp is continually popping up a message saying " FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD There was a problem installing this hardware. Apple Mobile USB driver. An error occured during the installation of the device. The system cannot find the file specified."
    You then have to click on finish, however the message keeps coming back. We kept going round and round in circles with the technical support people, where it was left that I should start removing programmes on my computer to see if any of those are causing a problem. I have had the same spyware for the last 12 months now and never had a problem before, nor any other programmes.
    I booked a genius appointment at my local Apple store today where the assistant reset the ipod to factory settings so it could at least work. I explained the situation, however 15 minutes was never going to be long enough to look into it, and a restore was all they did. Obviously all of my programmes were lost, however when I got home and plugged it back into the computer again, it could not be recognised by itunes and i got the same pop up message. Luckily we have not spent alot on downloads, however my son has lost his music now and it cannot be connected or upgraded. It's under guarantee however a software upgrade by Apple has totally messed my computer up. I really don't know who to turn to now as both the service support and store has not rectified this, something I feel has been caused by Apple.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Just upgraded HDD, now how do I get my data back??

    I just upgraded my stock 60GB HD to a 120GB Seagate Momentus 5400 ($100). This is what I did:
    1. Before removing the 60GB HD, i created a read-only disk image of my HD(with Disk Utility on the OSX install CD). I put this disk image on my USB external hard drive.
    2. Physically replaced the 60GB with the 120GB.
    3. Now, I boot up the computer to the OSX install CD (since it is a blank new HD). I open up Disk Utility on the install CD, and try to restore the image i created (on my external USB HD) to my new 120GB internal drive. I am able to select the image to restore, but cannot select my internal drive as the destination.
    I have all sorts of music, movies, applications...etc. on my old HD that I want on my new drive.
    I want to have my computer be identical to before I upgraded, just with a larger HD. Is this possible?
    I have tons of external USB HD space to use if needed, and I also still have the old HD... if I need to create a different kind of disk image or something.
    Please help!
    Macbook 2.0GHz (White)   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I did this already. I failed to mention it in my first post. I have my HD "111.8 GB Seagate..." and underneath it: "Macintosh HD". Still can't restore an image to the "Macintosh HD" volume.
