Strange PCI inventory from prtdiag -v on E2900

I am attempting to solve a performance issue on a E2900 server. Line traces of the Fibre Channel are pointing towards bus congestion inside the host. (Incoming frames are being processed slowly, and outgoing frames are dribbling out, one-by-one.)
I had the sysadmin pull prtdiag, and it is telling me that there are Emulex 9002DC's (I don't know the official Sun name) in slots PCI3 and PCI4, running at 33MHz. The only other card listed in the system is a Quad GigE in PCI5, supposedly running at 66MHz.
According to the reference docs, slots 4 and 5 are supposed to share the same bus, and therefore required to have the same bus speed. How then can PCI4 then be at 33MHz and PCI5 be at 66MHz?
In any case, why would these adapters be running at 33MHz? They are capable of 66MHz operation, and I know of no way to jumper them otherwise. Are the onboard devices slowing down the some of the PCI slots?
And no, unfortunately, I have no access (physical or otherwise) to the servers. I am in one city, the sysadmin is in another, and the server in a third.
Here is the relevant prtdiag -v output

If you have contract-login access to Sunsolve,
you can see the detailed information in the Sun System Handbook.
(The free version of the Handbook doen't include the details.)
The PCI I/O boat of the V1280 and E2900 has six PCI slots.
Slots 0 through 4 are 33MHz slots.
Slot 5 is a 66MHz slot.
In addition to that, glance at the device paths reported in your PRTDIAG.
Slots 0 and 1 use I/O controller chipset 0 and "leaf" B of that bus.
Slots 2, 3, and 4 use I/O controller chipset 1 but the same "leaf" B of the bus.
Slot 5 goes back to using I/O controller chipset 0 but is isolated to "leaf" A of the data bus - same as many integrated functions (SCSI, NIC).
That's what the *18,600000* and *19,700000* components of the device path is telling you.
All that is deliberately designed to isolate signalling and avoid data contention.
Bottom line?
Your adapter cards are functioning to the limits of the slots they occupy.
For a deeper explanation, consider opening a support case with Sun.
Perhaps techsupport can suggest a hardware reconfiguration based upon the tasks your E2900 must do.

[LV2013SP1] Strange cluster ordering from a database

Hello,
I'm not an expert in LabView since I come from the
embedded world (C/C++) yet I found something
quite strange when reading from a database.
Here's attached some screen captures of the
database content and structure, then the LabView
diagram with the probe output (yeah, had to stretch
it wide because there is no word wrap option).
Finally there is a little Excel snapshot of the result.
The database reading is performed with a certain
column ordering, the "casting" cluster do mirror
the same order and datatype, yet 'Variant to Data'
scramble things.
And even though I do use dis/assemble cluster
by name to avoid confusion, the resulting cluster
at probe 20 is right. Go figure...
Could someone help and explain what's going
on under the hood ? At least with C/C++ you have
a little grasp on how memory is ordered, but
LabView really bogs me...
David

Ok, I've found the bug in LabView 2013 SP1.
The 'Pdt_D' cluster had suffered several modifications and
reordering, but 'Variant to Data' doesn't follow the cluster
virtual ordering but the cluster's memory ordering.
In short, if you create a cluster one way, delete members,
add some more, adapted and reorder, the 'Variant to Data'
VI will take the members' order in which they were added
to the cluster, regardless of the hypathetic ordering you
might have specified afterward.
Probably a problem of chained list, one listing the members
as they are added, one listing the members in the specified
ordering, perhaps the bug comes from pointing the wrong
list.
If you delete the 'Pdt_D' cluster, create a brand new cluster
constant, then add one by one the members of the right
datatype, 'Variant to Data' works like expected and dispatch
the variant's data into the belonging members.
There's is no use providing you with a snapshot because
it will all look the same that I have already provided you with,
just that the cluster has been recreated from scratch and
not been reordered. That's a rather annoying spurious bug
you'd better be strong hearthed to deal with.
And for the VI, it's a rather complex proprietary application
I cannot disclose, but I'll create an example VI further in
time so that you can witness it by yourself.
Sorry for not being specific enough with my problem.

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop.

I have a strange noise coming from within my 2011 iMac Desktop. This started 1 week ago and is intermittent. It sounds like an electronic drill. I have removed all external connections and powered up the Mac and just left it running. Some 2 hours later the noise started. On hitting the space bar on the keyboard the noise stopped. I did a similar test and the noise started within 2 minutes so I have discounted any overheating issues.
With keyboard activity there is an increase in the frequency of this fault.
If you open safari when the fault reappears the URL web link text starts flashing at the same frequency as the noise. This fault can appear with or without the noise.
I’ve been typing these details out on Word and as soon as I went to save the document the noise started and as soon as I hit the OK option in the save window the noise ceased.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.

I think this issue might be related to my wireless Keyboard. have just noticed that certain combinations of keys do not work. The Right hand shift + ? didn't work but started this noise. Hit another key and the noise stopped Also I have problems using the right hand shift key with the letters Y, H & N , they don't work and are all in line.
So I'm taking the keyboard back to John Lewis. it will be easier to carry that the screen !!

Strange exception thrown from Client (Scanner has tokens)

Hi,
I am getting a really strange exception thrown from my client. It seems to be
about a class that the wsgen generated. Has anyone ever seen something like that
before? Maybe it is because I am using JBuilder(5.1)? I am operating on a WL6.1
server. It is only a test webservice. So there are only standard return types,
etc.
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated

Hi, thanks, manoj!
The problem was that eventhough I had the correct login, the server had another
security layer, that prevented me from doing the lookup. So I guess I was supposed
to get an error html page and so the SAX-Parser got messed up.
Stupid mistake, but thank you very much.

It looks like the server is sending back a html page instead

If you are using a WSDL file, then the URL will be inside
the service->port->soap:address-location element.

"CLOSED":How to plan inventory from multiple orgs simultaneously using MRP?

Hello everybody,
How to plan inventory from multiple organizations simultaneously using SCP?
My customer found that in supply chain planning (MRP) system always plans in single manufacturing organization, say, ATC, firstly. If set in organization item master, the source type as 'Inventory' and the source organization as another trading organization name, say, ANX. if there is insufficient inventory in ATC, SCP-MRP would plan in ANX, disregard of the inventory exist in ANX for the item.
But for some items, there are both inventory in ATC and ANX and we want plan BOTH their inventory simultaneously instad of firstly ATC and then ANX.
Is there any standard function in Oracle that can do so? I found that the sourcing rule cannot help in this case.
A simple test case is described in
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_4607/5580425.992/Alternative_to_plan_multi-org_MRP.doc
Thanks

Catalina,
Net the inventory simultaneously? Its not quite clear what your client wants.
Even in the old SCP, you can use sourcing rules to first net inventory in org1 and then net the inventory in org 2 via a transfer from rule. The key point is it is always incremental based on where you place teh demand and then you provide source to fill that demand.
One restriction that ASCP still has up to 11.5.10 is that you can only have sourcing rules going in one direction. This means that you can't have a rule that sources ORG1 from ORG2 for item A, then have the revers in ORG2 sourcing from ORG1. That won't work, ASCP will randomly ignore one of the rules.
The best choice may be to use GOP with a sourcing split % so that yo do consider the inventory in both orgs when demanding the order, but it would still be done by checking ORG1 then ORG2.
Hope this helps.

LMS 3.2 : Can't collect inventory from Nexus 5010

Hello,
I've added a Nexus 5010 to LMS, and it recognized it as such, and it was also able to archive its configuration.
But LMS is unable to collect inventory from it : the error message is "Device Sensed, but collection failed".
I am able to do an snmp walk of the device and I do see the ENTITY mib.
I am running LMS 3.2 with no RME patches or device package updates.
I've attached the relevant portion of IC_Server.log.
The Nexus 5010 is running NX-OS 4.1(3)N2(1a).
Thanks for the help,
Alex.

>> I am running LMS 3.2 with no RME patches or device package updates.
So why not update the dev pkgs, then try again?
The latest RME pkg for Nexus is apparently v2.4, whereas I'm collecting the 5010s fine with v2.3.

PCIe card from Macsales Faulty?

I ordered an Apiotek 1394+USB2.0 combo PCIe card from MacSales and am having a serious issue. After I installed the card and closed the machine back up, I plugged in the mac pro powercord and the computer just turned on by itself. I didn't even press the power on button. That was weird. So, it shows up under system profiler, in slot 4 (tried in 3 too) and seems to work ok. However, the serious problem is trying to shut down the computer. The problem is I can't do it. When I click apple/shutdown/shutdown, the mac begins to shutdown, but then it boots right back up with the apple chime and log-in screen. Holding the power button does not turn the machine off either. The only way I could turn the thing off was to yank the power cord. I removed my HDMI Intensity card, and tried just this card, and still had the same issues. Is this card bad? Should I send it back and get another one? Or is this card brand not good for the mac pro? Can anyone recommend a good PCIe USB and FIrewire combo card? I have a 2x2.8 Mac Pro, running 10.5.6, 6GB Ram. Thanks.

It's not going to act up anymore because I took it out. I don't want to pull out the CPU powercord to shut down my computer.
What powerplug wasn't the right size or fit?? The computer one? I'm using the one that came with the mac pro. Why would that cause the card to not allow the computer to shut down?
As far as calling macsales, I have an RMA request in. I will hopefully speak with someone about it then. Perhaps I will look into Sonnet and Aaxeon.

Hi santh,
I don't think it's possible to use a 3rd party DNET PCI with LV API.

How to start collector inventory from scratch

Hi there,
I would like to completely redo collector inventory from scratch by deleting all current devices in collector DB and re-injecting a new list.
How should I proceed?
Thanks,
Nic

Hi Nic,
If you mean restart the discovery process, you would do that by unmanaging all devices by going to "Management:->"Unmanage Devices" and the doing discovery. Hope that answers the question
Thanks

Equium M70: strange screeching sound from speakers

I have an Equium M70 and within the last 2 days have been getting strange screeching sounds from the speakers when using Windows.
Cd's/DVD's seem to run as normal but when I open up I get a piercing high pitched sound for about a minute, if I then click on a link or shorcut I get a double short screech.
I've tried running the system diagnostic test but when it gets to the wav sound check the screech becomes almost unbearable and the whole thing just hangs there util I terminate the test.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I know that I ran into this problem not that long ago. The resolution was to reinstall windows and the sound was fixed. But that was just my case and yours could be a more severe case. Try plugging in headsets and seeing if that fixes the problem. I think that somehow the problem I had was with windows sound files. It played all audio files just fine, except any windows generated wave files, at which point it screeched etc. Recovered with the CD's and it works fine now. Try to use the recovery CD's, if that does not help I suggest taking it to your ASP and have them check it out. Have a nice day.
