TC Software Now in Maintenance Mode

FYI, I noticed the below statement at the bottom of the MX800 Dual announcement, appears the TC software for C/EX/older MX series is now in maintenance mode, and only be updated with security and bug fixes which means the last major release of TC software is most likely TC7. It also means that the endpoints noted in the statement will have a new series of software with an abbreviation of "CE" starting with version 8 instead of continuing to use TC as it currently is now. In that announcement there is some information regarding the Collaboration Endpoint Software and it's features, also including full Proximity support.
*Products supporting the Collaboration Endpoint Software 8.0 platform include the SX10, SX20, SX80, MX200 G2, MX300 G2, MX700, MX800 Single and MX800 Dual. The TC platform will now be on maintenance mode for security and bug fixes only.

Not surprising considering all of the C-series are now EOS/EOL, anyways, what really caught my attention was this one: "Intelligent Proximity will also enable wireless content sharing from Macs and PCs" - which is absolutely brilliant - or, it would be if they got rid of, or somehow restricted call control access. Having said that, they might have dealt with that as well in CE8.

SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

Hi,
We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
can read reg value as exempel.
IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
I found this

You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset

After having upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 7.0.2, I can not turn on Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. After trying various tricks I found via online forums such as software reset, enable Airplane mode, and resetting the network settings, I have now also completed reset of the phone WITHOUT success. Is there something more to it? If not learn hardly be any more iPhone for me. Really disappointed. Grateful for help!

If you have tried all of the steps in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559 and have completed all of the user troubleshooting, restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new, then make an appointment with the Apple store to have the hardware checked.

Tried to update, now in Recovery Mode?

this morning I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th generation to whatever the newest software is available (I didn't check...). It said I should back up my data before updating, which I did. The update didn't work, and my iPod is now in recovery mode. And only the first purchases I made (which were back in December) are in my 'purchased' list. The rest of them don't show up. Only 14 songs are showing up. I'm not positive how many songs I bought, but I know for a fact it was more than 14, as well as 2 videos. The only way I can get out of recovery mode is to restore, and, as you can possibly imagine, I don't want to because I'll lose all of my songs and videos! Is there any way I could recover my songs and videos before restoring, or am I out of luck? Also, will I be able to get my apps back? If I do, would they still have my information, or would that be deleted as well?

This happened to me. First my iPod got stuck in recovery mode, but now it broke. It won't turn on and it isn't getting detected in iTunes. I have to bring it too an Apple store in a few days and see what they will do. I hope yours doesn't brake like mine did.

HT201210 my iphone is now in recovery mode... how do i set up as a new iphone?

she can set it up as new she connects it to the computer and restore it

Solaris 10 disk mirror partition goes in maintenance mode at reboot

Hello
I have got solaris 10 installed on a Sun machine with 2 disks mirrorred to each other. There also security toolkit 4.2 installed. Now every time the system reboots and I do a metastat the mirror partitions goes in maintenance mode and I have to individually metasync the mirrors after every reboot.
I guess this due to the security toolkit playing up. Would really appreciate any help to sort this out. The mirrors should automatically resync after system reboot.
Thanks in advance.
Pioneer

Hi yes I did run the metaroot. If I manually metasync its all OK. My problem is the partition does not auto sync after the system boots.
I guess this is someting to do with the security toolkit 4.2 playing up not disabling some services at boot. Have any one faced this issue ?
Many Thanks
Pioneer

"Class instance is already in Maintenance Mode" - but it isn't

Hello,
we have a powershell script to set the servers managed by scom agent in maintenance mode (e.g. for windows updates and restart).
A colleague recognized an error during running this script. It says that instances of the server are still in maintenance mode. But if you check through SCOM it is not. And for resetting maintenance mode with 0 it says it is not in maintenance mode.
Is it possible to clear maintenance mode for all things wiht a sql statement?

OVM-2020 Server pool master can not be set to maintenance mode

Hi Guys.
I have 2 server in ha mode
server 1 (10.99.99.161) with oracle Manager installed (server pool master, utility server, vm server)
Server 2 (10.99.99.161) without Oracle Manager installed (utility server, vmserver)
HA enable with server1 and server 2
10.99.99.165 is the virtual server pool master
1 San connected with server 1 and server 2.
Without problem I can connect on https://10.99.99.165:4443/OVS without problem.
All seems work, but :
1 - I I try to set in maintenance mode the server 1, the VM Manager say me:
OVM-2020 Server pool master (10.99.99.162) can not be set to maintenance mode, please use server pool master failover policy to change its role, then try again.
What I shuld do ?
2 - If I turn off the server 1 the server pool master is attribuite to server 2, but I'm unable to connect on https://10.99.99.165:4443/OVS webpage. It is correct, it is a bug, or I'm doing something wrong ? Must I upgrate something ?
Many Thanks
Luca

What I shuld do ?You need to live migrate all your guests off the current Master server, then issue service ovs-agent stop on the command-line. This will cause the pool mastery to switch to another server. Once that's done, you can start the agent agent.

You need to ensure the VM that's running the Oracle VM Manager software is still running. Live Migrate it first (preferred option) and flag it HA-enabled so that it is automatically restarted in the case of a server failure.

In order to use a WLC that has a license as an HA WLC, you need a minimum of a 50 AP license.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps10315/products_tech_note09186a0080bd3504.shtml
If you want to convert any existing WLC as a Standby WLC, do so using the config redundancy unit secondary command in the CLI. This CLI command will only work if the WLC which is intended to work as Standby has some number of permanent license count. This condition is only valid for the 5500 WLC, where a minimum of 50 AP Permanent licenses are needed to be converted to Standby. There is no restriction for other WLCs such as the WiSM2, 7500, and 8500.

HELP: WLC AP-SSO not working (standby unity in maintenance mode)

I have two WLC version 7.3.101.0 with the standby unit having HA-SKU. I have tested the AP-SSO functionality without any problem in lab with direct connection on RP port between two WLC. Once I brought them into data centre in separate location (latency is less than 10ms between the two DC), the standby unity always went into maintenance mode. The booting process on standby unit went to maintenance mode as shown below:
Management Gateway and Peer Redundancy Management interface are not reachable.
Entering maintenance mode...
I have checked on the core switches at 2 data centre that the two WLC RP ports are connected to same VLAN and it is spanned across MAN link (10GB and less than 10ms delay). The spanning tree on those ports are forwarding as well.
I have rebooted the second unit but no luck.
The interface between two DC is using MTU 9216 which I do not think would cause this issue.
Anyone has come across same or similar issue with me or know the solution? If you do, plz enlighten me.
Thanks

Thanks Leo and Scott for your feedback. I notice there are two newer software for WLC version 7.3.102.0 and 7.4.100.0.
Both of them seem to have many open caveats. In my wireless environment, I also use ISE, MSE and Prime Infrastructure and unfortunately WLC 7.4 does not support prime solution and MSE yet according to below compatibility matrix.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/5500/tech_notes/Wireless_Software_Compatibility_Matrix.html
I think I only have choice to do minor upgrade to 7.3.102.0 at this moment (please correct me if I am wrong). This software was published on 30th Jan 2013 so I wonder if someone else has tried this and managed to get WLC AP-SSO setup working flawlessly where 2nd WLC unit is at different location?
Appreciate for more info and advise.

Lightroom 5 now in trail mode but i have authentic serial number

Lightroom 5 now in trail mode even though i have bought the software and been using it for over a year. When i in put my serial number in it tells me its invalid. How do i convince this software its authentic?

Hi F.McLion, thanks for your reply.
I signed in to my Adobe account and looked at setting up sharing with mobile option then realised that my trial had expired and now its rest so that when i enter LR its counting down the 30 days, currently 25 days. As i first mentioned when i enter my serial number, the one i received from the [email protected] says its invalid.
I'm trying to use the stand alone and not the CC.

SCOM 2012 Maintenance Mode PowerShell Script Problems

I've seen other questions about this topic before, but none of them seem to address my specific problem, so I am starting a new thread.
I am writing a script to put a single server (not a group) into maintenance mode.   Here is the command that it ultimately tries to call:
Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode-Instance$Instance-EndTime$EndTime-Reason$Reason-Comment$Comment
So an exmaple would look like this:
Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode -Instance "$Instance -EndTime "02/03/2014 15:26:00" -Reason "PlannedOther" -Comment "Testing Maintenance Mode"
When my script tries to run this command, this is the error message that I get:
Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode : Start time must be before end time for maintenance mode.
Parameter name: startTime
At C:\users\x036036\Desktop\Start-SCOMMaintenanceModeForServer.ps1:143 char:21

   Mode], ArgumentOutOfRangeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : ExecutionError,Microsoft.SystemCenter.OperationsManagerV10.Commands.StartSCMaintenanceModeCommand
I've tried to look at Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode help online, but I don't see that "startTime" is a parameter. So what is this error message talking about? What am I missing?

Thanks for your help.   I didn't see your response until just now, but I have been playing around with this all since my last response.   I got it to work. I wish I could pinpoint what exactly I changed to get it to work, but I
feel like I've been changing so much stuff that I'm not sure any more.

Write-Verbose "Ending $($myinvocation.mycommand)"
There is one remaining problem with this script.   It does not correctly check to see if something is a management server. We have two management servers. These are the applicable lines, which I still haven't gotten to work yet. First, this retrieves
the list of my Management servers:
$MSs=Get-SCOMManagementServer
Next, these lines are supposed to check if the server I specified is a management server:
if(($MSs | Select DisplayName) -eq $ServerName)
Write-Verbose "We don't want to put a Management Server in Maintenance Mode. Skipping"
Thanks to the Intellisense pop-up deal, I can see that $MSs does get my two management servers. And I can clearly see that there is a DisplayName column. And I can also see that the $ServerName does match what I put in my command line.   But it doesn't
seem to catch them if they are actually equal to each other. I don't know if it's because there's two Management Servers, and it doesn't know how to compare like that? Any idea? Is there some sort of loop I need to write so that it compares is to the DisplayName
for EACH Management Server it finds? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Another SCOM Maintenance Mode query/advice...

Hi,
Just looking some advice on setting SCOM Maintenance Mode (using SCOM/SCO 2012R2)...
I want to be able to set a server entirely into MaintMode, ie similar to choosing "Selected object AND ALL their contained objects" from SCOM console.
I had asked similar question back in SCOM 2007/Opalis days, but the solution then (placing server and health server watchers separately into maintenance as per Anders blog http://contoso.se/blog/?p=2164 I'm not sure is appropriate now as I believe MaintMode
is handled differently in 2012.
I have seen some pretty complex solutions where using custom built DBs to hold MaintMode status etc. Was hoping theres a neater/simpler soultion using the Orchestrator Activities these days.
If not possible using Native Orchestrator then the fallback would be to try use powershell commandlet. Looking at the Commandlet Examples if I used the following example solution, will that effectively put the server object (and all contained objects
into maintenance which is what I'm trying to achieve.
Windows PowerShell
PS C:\> $Instance = Get-SCOMClassInstance -Name "Server01.Contoso.com"
PS C:\> $Time = ((Get-Date).AddMinutes(10))
PS C:\> Start-SCOMMaintenanceMode -Instance $Instance -EndTime $Time -Comment "Applyin
Any advice to this recurring pain point of SCOM much appreciated.
PS. Not sure if this post is better placed here or in SCOM/Powershell forum so can move if necessary...

Hi Michael,
thanks for your reply confirming the powershell command will work.
I have actually just tried using the native Start Maintenance Mode Activity which actually seems to do as required - if the monitor selected is the relevant <servername> : Microsoft.Windows.Computer: <servername> object then it seems to put the
entire server into maintenance. I tested against a server which happened to also host SQL role, so when I placed in Maint via the runbook I then stopped the SQL service and no alerts generated from SQL MP and I could see the spanner Icon against
the server in relevant SQL node views aswell.
I had though maybe that only windows MP stuff might be supressed - so again when I came across all the very complex solutions to apply Maint mode properly I wasnt sure if it was still relevant in 2012 (even though some of those solutions indicated for use
on SCOM/SCO 2012?)
Anyway if the simple solution work - as it appears to do so, then I'll run with that - unless someone can tell me why not?...
Cheers
