Trivial configuration changes require restart !*#$?

Why do TC's require a complete system restart for trivial configuration changes? Specifically, adding another account to the disk access list seems simple enough that an entire reboot shouldn't be required.
Chris D.

This has been experience with all wireless routers. Not saying it's normal (I've only owned 4 in the past 6 years) but it's certainly not "Apple only." To be honest, I've found TC reboots to be far quicker than any of my other routers.

What are the configuration changes required to deploy OEM from one VM host to other?

Hi,
I have oem setup on one host and corresponding database is on another host. Now i want to deploy both EM and database setup on another host, so what are the configuration changes required to run the setup.

Check this link, this may be helpful
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/doc.1111/e24473/ha_outages.htm

"Configuration changed. Restart the system" and then reboot on startup.

I have disabled WiMax in BIOS setup and now my x121e doesn't boot at all - just says that "Configuration changed. Restart the system" and reboots. When i press F1 to access bios setup - nothing happens. CMOS reset didn't help/

In service center they said that motherboard is glitchy and needs replacement.
So it was a hardware fault.

ACL changes require restart?

We have a couple of 10.4.11 xserves and have sporadic permissions errors with ACLs. It happens when a user creates a directory inside an existing job folder; sometimes that folder is read only to other users even though all those users are part of a group which is listed under ACL's for that volume.
I have read that if you make changes to ACL settings on a volume then you must unmount that volume before switch ACL's back on. The volume with problems is not my boot volume so does that mean I don't have to restart the machine? Whats the easiest way to unmount a volume?

Yes, you must unmount a volume after you have enabled or disabled ACLs.
You could restart the server, use this little app:

or type hdiutil unmount /Volumes/your volume name

What type of changes require server restart?

Hi,
We are trying to minimize downtime for applications and re-design our deployment process. One of the questions is what type of changes require weblogic restart and which would require only re-deployment of application server.
Is there a document which would detail actions required by type of changes in config?
Sohail

Hi,
There are basically two types of changes we can make in WLS...
*1). Dynamic Changes:* It means the Changes which doesnt requires Server Restart. Like Updating/deploying/undeploying applications. Creating DataSources, Creating Users in SecurityRealms, Configuring WorkManagers.
*2). Non-Dynamic Changes:* These are the Changes which requires Server Restart ... sothat the changes can take affect. Like: Activating another SecurityRealm as Default realm, Changing cluster Multicast Address, Configuring Startup/Shutdown classes, Changinf ClassPath or Java_options from AdminConsole for ManagedServers using ServerStart Tab, Adding/Removing Managed Servers from Machine...etc.
There is not such link available which lists all the Non-Dynamic & Dynamic Changes. Even AdminConsole also displays sometimes Wrong Message ...sometimes for few Non-Dynamic Changes as well it says "No Restart Required" But actually we had to start it.
Thanks

X121e bios loop : "configuration changed - restart the system"

After changing some settings in BIOS i got stuck in a reboot - loop.
* Cannot access the BIOS any more - pressing F1 changes the message to "Entering BIOS Setup Utility" followed by the message "configuration changed - restart the system"
* F12 changes the message to "Preparing Boot Device List" followed by "configuration changed - restart the system" and the system reboots again.
* Tried to remove the battery, pressing the power button for 10-15 sec. and reboot with AC Adapter connected
* Tried to remove the battery and unplug the bios battery for 3 days the reset the bios - doesn't work
* Tried to boot via USB (BIOS update, FreeDOS with BIOS update, Ubuntu-Live-USB) - nothing worked .. didn't change the boot-order - i always prefer USB boot
* Removing hard-disk produces the message "no operating system found"
Are there any tricks for resetting the BIOS to defaults, flashing BIOS without booting from USB?

Is there a way to restart my Java cloud service? What are "non-dynamic configuration changes"?

I am trying to deploy an ADF application to my trial instance of Java cloud, I am getting the following error:

There are tutorials available for deploying your first ADF app to the cloud, which I followed carefully. Except for one thing, the ADF app was originally developed in Jdeveloper 11.1.2.4 and then migrated to 11.1.1.6. Could that be what is causing the problem? How can I try to troubleshoot this?

Hi,
You will have to raise an sr towards the hosting team to perform the restart.

Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window (requires restarts)?

What happens in an application deployment if I uncheck "Commit changes at deadline or during a maintenance window (requires restarts)"? If I have an application deployed to a collection with a maintenance window with a scheduled to be available
now with an installation deadline of one week, what would happed? What about if the application was deployed to a collection that did not have a maintenance window and there were no maintenance windows defined in any other collection the member clients
were in?

This is for Embdedded devices, like ThinClients.
That means write filter commits either at deadline or during a maintenance window.
Your application still installs as you schedule it, available now and install week from now. If you have maintenance window and selected to not install or reboot outside of maintenance window, then everything happens within maintenance window. If you don't
check that box for write filter, then your app or setting you have just pushed does not get saved when device is rebooted.
Same scenario with no maintenance windows. If you don't have maintenance window then your app downloads and installs as you schedule the dates. Write filter would not commit these changes and everything would go away after reboot.

[TP x120e] Continuous "Configuration changed - Restart the system." error

I played with my bios (disabled/enabled mic, webcam, LAN and so), but after exiting the bios, Thinkpad x120e reboots continuously with the error message "Configuration changed - Restart the system.". I was not able to boot from any USB/HDD and also I can not enter to the BIOS. Hard bios reset won't help. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello,
Have you tried unplugging all power, including the internal CMOS/RTC backup battery, from the ThinkPad X120e, leading the unit alone for a few minutes to let any capacitors holding a residual electic charge drain, holding down the power button for 30 seconds to complete the operation, then plugging in the AC charger without either of the batteries installed, then holding down the F1 key while pressing the power button to see if that gets you into the BIOS settings?

Configuration changes in long cycle orders

Hi,
We are currently working on with ETO client and have a scenario where Orders are configured using guided selling which triggers multiple child models as required. Each of these child models are connected to each other but can be manufactured and shipped separately. Order life cycle could range from 2 month to one year and changes are quite frequent. We would like to know the best practices we can adopt in configurator change management after booking in such large BOMs?
Thanks

Hi,
The code looks fine. To check whether the role still gets shutdown or not, you can handle the role's Stopping event, and write some messages to, say, table storage. Then if you see the message in table storage, it means the role has been restarted. Also please
try to write some messages in the Changing event to check whether your event handler is called.

Please ensure that the applicationhost.config file is correct and recommit the last configuration changes made

I am receiving event ID 5189 on Server 2008 R2, IIS 7.5. I experience this error across a number of servers, each of which is running only the default web site, but have 600+ applications running on the default web site. Each application
has its own application pool. My point is, the applicationhost.config is rather large.
I have seen a number of posts on this error message, but my issue itself seems to differ somewhat. I am aware of a similar post: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3128ee93-1319-4cc2-9257-003512caf476/event-id-5189-microsoftwindowswas?forum=exchangesvrgeneral
which points to KB http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc734988%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
However, in my case, it doesn't seem that the extreme measures for this resolution are required. The error usually indicates a corrupted applicationhost.config that must be manually fixed, or otherwise the WAS service needs to be restarted, or the
server itself, etc.
In my case, the issue can usually be fixed by an application pool recycle, or at worst a stop/start. I have an application which is sensitive to recycles, and so we do not have periodic recycle events configured for this application, which is the bulk
of the applications on the servers. It seems to me that this issue is usually caused by the application being in use when there is an applicationhost.config change.
For instance, we have one application that we deploy using msdeploy. We found that when we ran an installation for this application via msdeploy, we were receiving this event, and we would subsequently get 500 errors in the application (sometimes the
application pool corresponds to that which is identified in the event log, sometimes it doesn't).    It seems like applications that were being hit at the time the applicationhost.config was modified by msdeploy were affected. In an attempt
to correct this, we moved from msdeploy to a batch file containing appcmd commands. This also did not resolve the issue.
I have another application which is installed using PowerShell commandlets. We started to notice that this script also caused the issue to occur on occasion. As I continued to identify different processes that resulted in the same issue, I came
to the conclusion that this is likely due to any change in the applicationhost.config. I assume the issue is that the applicationhost.config is modified during a read operation to the file by the application pool, or WAS service, and that the recycle
event, which corrects the issue, forces a re-read of the applicationhost.config, resolving the bad-read issue.
Has anyone else experienced this, or do you have any recommendations? My current work-around is to not install any applications during peak hours, and performing an IISRESET after installs are completed, to ensure application stability.

As an update to this issue, after doing some research, it appears the behavior is related to a new feature in IIS7 called Application Pool Isolation (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd163536.aspx).
This new feature prevents cross-application spillage by isolating the configuration for each application pool in IIS. So in reality, an application pool never actually reads the applicationhost.config - that is just a master file, and each time it
is update, it triggers a change to the individual application pool configuration files, located in C:\inetpub\temp\apppools.
We did try setting Advanced Settings > Disable Recycling for Configuration Change to true, but after an IIS reset we were still able to reproduce the issue - worse actually, because in our test program, which continually hits the web
service, and also continually makes apphost.config changes, when the two events collide, the 500.19 issue precipitates; but after an additional change to the apphost.config, it seems that the additional changes will actually correct the issue (seemingly forcing
another recycle, which is also how we resolve the issue manually); after making this setting adjustment, once the 500.19 issue precipitates, additional changes to the apphost.config does not correct the problem, only a manual recycle corrects it. This
is the recycling.disallowRotationOnConfigChange property of the app pool. We also set the setting for recycling.disallowOverlappingRotation to True as well, with the same result.
We ARE able to prevent this issue by setting the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools\myapppool\myapppool.config to read-only, but for obvious reasons, this is not a desired work-around.
It seems like what is happening is that any change to the ApplicationHost.config is resulting in each of the C:\inetpub\temp\apppools temp application pool config files being updated as well, in addition to triggering an application pool recycle. It
seems to me the desired behavior would be that these files are only updated if the applicationhost.config changes are specific to that application pool - but that doesn't seem to be the behavior.
After turning on failed request tracing, I was able to narrow the error down more:
ModuleName
AnonymousAuthenticationModule
Notification
2
HttpStatus
500
HttpReason
Internal Server Error
HttpSubStatus

The data is invalid. (0x8007000d)
This seems to be pretty static. Trying to look into possible causes of this issue.

Lync mobile - server settings have changes please restart

Hi,
I have an issue within my current deployment. Mobile clients keep getting the message "Your Server configuration has changed, please restart lync." every 5-15 mins.
From my reading so far its suggested that changing the TTL on the IIS reverse proxy from 200 to 600/960 solves the issue. This hasn't worked for me.
Has anyone else had a similar issue and know of another fix or change that may be required?
Thanks
Joel

Java doesn't pick up system's DNS settings change until restarted

Hello,
I have a service running on a few Linux computers. Those computers have a NIC, which is configured with a fixed IP address. So /etc/resolv.conf contains the IP address of the LAN's DNS server. But most of the time, the computers are not plugged into the LAN at all. Instead, they connect themselves periodically to the Internet by establishing a ppp connection. When it happens, the ISP's DHCP server assign them new IP parameters, including their DNS server's IP address. And /etc/resolv.conf gets updated with this address.
But it seems that java doesn't take care of DNS change taking place during a run. Which means that my program (started at boot with no connectivity at all) tries to connect to some host, and obviously trigger an "UnknownHostException" (at that point it does try to contact the LAN's DNS server). Quite logical. Later, the ppp link become active. But my program still try to contact the LAN's DNS server, despite the new configuration in /etc/resolv.conf. As such, it will forever trigger UnknowHostExceptions, until it gets restarted (it will then pick up the new settings) or it is plugged back into the LAN (it will finally reach the LAN's DNS server).
This is quite a problem as during one single execution, the machine may encounter several DNS configuration changes, and this problem basically means that it will be impossible for my application to resolve any name at all.
So is there a way to tell Java to re-read the system wide DNS configuration? Or is there some option to prevent Java to "cache" the DNS server to use?
To demonstrate my problem, I've written a simple test case, see below.
To get the problem:
1) Put a bogus DNS server into your /etc/resolv.conf
2) Start the test program. Wait for some time: it will trigger UnknownHostExceptions.
3) Fix the entry in /etc/resolv.conf, and check it actually works (eg ping www.google.be)
4) Test program will continue to trigger UnknownHostExceptions forever.
One interesting fact is that someone tried this test on Windows, and didn't suffer from this behaviour, eg the application reacts to DNS system settings changes dynamically. So it looks like a Linux-only problem.
Thanks in advance for your insight.

         * A value of 0 indicates "never cache". A value of -1 indicates "cache forever".
        java.security.Security.setProperty("networkaddress.cache.negative.ttl", "0");
        int loopCounter = 0;
        while (true) {
            InetAddress resolved;
            try {
                resolved = InetAddress.getByName(urlString);
                System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": resolved IP address: " + resolved);
            } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
                System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": UnknownHostException");
                e.printStackTrace();
            loopCounter++;
            try {
                Thread.sleep(1000);
            } catch (InterruptedException e) {}
}

Well, the nameservice property allowing to specify my DNS server of choice is interesting (I didn't know about those), but not very usable, as the DNS server to use is not known in advance (it may be whatever the ISP tells me to use at the time where the ppp link gets established). So no real solution there.
The fact that it caches /etc/resolv.conf content for 300s is very interesting, but having no possibility to impact on this duration really is a pity. There should be some kind of property to fix this behaviour. So as you say, a custom provider may be the only solution.
So far, the hack I use to get this working is based on code similar to this one (it is presented here in a similar form than my test case above). Obviously, reading the /etc/resolv.conf for each dns resolution is not an option in a real environment, but you get the idea.
package com.test.dnsresolver;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
public class DnsResolver {
     private static final String urlString = "www.google.com";
     private static final String resolvConf = "/etc/resolv.conf";

               loopCounter++;
               try {
                    Thread.sleep(1000);
               } catch (InterruptedException e) {}

               String nameserver = null;
               try {
                    BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(resolvConf)));
                    String currentLine = null;
                    while (( currentLine = input.readLine()) != null){
                         // Take care of potential comments
                         currentLine = currentLine.substring(0, currentLine.indexOf("#") == -1
                                   ? currentLine.length() : currentLine.indexOf("#") );
                         if (currentLine.contains("nameserver")) {
                              // It is the line we are looking for
                              nameserver = currentLine;
                              break;
               } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": FileNotFoundException");
               } catch (IOException e) {
                    System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": IOException");
               if (nameserver == null) {
                    // No "nameserver" line found
                    System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": No nameserver found in configration file!");
                    continue;
               // Trim it to just contain the IP address
               nameserver = (nameserver.replace("nameserver", "")).trim();
               System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": Going to use DNS server " + nameserver);
               // At this point, we know which server to use, now perform the resolution
               Hashtable<String, String> env = new Hashtable<String, String>();
               env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.dns.DnsContextFactory");
               env.put("java.naming.provider.url",    "dns://" + nameserver);
               DirContext ictx;
               try {
                    ictx = new InitialDirContext(env);
                    Attributes attrs1 = ictx.getAttributes(urlString, new String[] {"A"});
                    System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": Manual resolution: +" + attrs1.get("a").get() + "+");
               } catch (NamingException e) {
                    System.out.println("Loop " + loopCounter + ": NamingException");
}So maybe I should adapt and package this into a proper provider and specify it for sun.net.spi.nameservice.provider. Any link, info or example about how a proper provider should look like?
Thanks for your advices!
