Using VCM to compare hardware metrics on physical servers

Hi,
I have a large physical server estate (mix of Win, RHEL and Solaris) which all have had the latest VCM agent installed.
What I want to do with VCM is to select one physical machine and make it a baseline, then compare other physical servers to that baseline. Physical servers will be grouped into clusters (per application) and then into tiers (e.g. Test). I want to be able to check compliance of a clustered application against a single baseline physical server, then other application clusters within a tier, then tiers against other tiers.
Can anyone give me a started for 10 on creating a compliance template from an existing physical machine?
Note: I'm interested in hardware only at this point (driver metrics, BIOS etc) - OS comparison will come down the line.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.
Jeremy.

If you want to keep the data from the baseline machine(s), even if the machines themselves change, or are removed, later, you should create VCM Snapshots for them.
These are managed under Administration\Machines Manager\VCM Snapshots. The Help for this node provides more detail about this feature. Basically, you first need to collect all the data you will be interested in including in the baseline, and then create a Snapshot to make a static copy of the data in the VCM database that will act like another machine entry.
To compare machines to a baseline machine, or to a baseline VCM Snapshot, use the Compare Machines action from Compliance\Machine Group Compliance\Templates node. Again, the Help provides a lot more information about this feature.

  • Can I use SSRT as a QOS metric?

    I'm wondering if I can use SSRT as a good metric for how good the P2P link is between two video chat clients.  I did the following experiment.
    First I connect two of our clients together in a video chat.
    Then I start logging the netstreamInfo from my audioSubscriber, and my WebcamSubscriber every 10 seconds
    Then I slowly restrict the bandwidth on my mac from full open all the way down to about 8KBytes/second
    What I see as I do this is SSRT climbs in proportion to how restricted my bandwidth becomes.   So at full open it's around 0-6, by the time I'm at 8KB/s it's up in 2000-3000 range.   I should also mention that I'm restricting my bandwidth symetrically so 8KB/s up 8KB/s down.  I also tried adjusting my encodeQuality, framesPerPacket at the 8KB/s and I think it gives me a better audio experience.
    So I'd like to do some work to do this automatically but first I wanted to ask if you guys thought using SSRT for this was a good idea?
    Thanks as usual,
    -Eric

    No. All methods of using the iMac as a display require interaction with the OS installed on it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer).
    On the basis of the specifications you have given for your set up, mirroring should work.

  • How to use a custom comparator in a TableSorter?

    Hi,
    I want to use a custom comparator for sorting a table by a specific column.
    As you possibly know, the constructor for the TableSorter class looks like this:
    TableSorter(IWDTable table, IWDAction sortAction, Map comparators);
    As Map is an Interface I chose Hashmap as comparator container. So, I use the put(Key, Value) method to insert my own comparator into the Hashmap in order to deliver this Object to the TableSorter constructor.
    But there is an essential problem:
    I assume, that the column which is to be associated with my comparator is determined by the key of the Map object from the TableSorter constructor.
    Presuming this, <u>what should the map key be/look like?</u>
    An Integer counted from the columns? The column header as String? Whatever? Or am I on the wrong way?
    PS:
    Hours of search did not lead me to some kind of documentation or javadoc of the TableSorter class! This can't be, does someone have a link please?
    Thanks a lot for any help.

    (sorry Mrutyun, this did not help.)
    Ok, I solved it; let me share it with you:
    public class ExampleView
            public static void wdDoModifyView(IPrivateExampleView wdThis, IPrivateExampleView.IContextNode wdContext, com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDView view, boolean firstTime)
                     * A custom Comparator class is used for sorting by Severity.
                     * An Object of it is delivered to an object of a Map class to be delivered to the TableSorter constructor.
                     * The Map class consists of key-value pairs, and the TableSorter must accept the Key of it
                     * because he uses it to assign the mapped Comparator to the column of the table to be sorted!
                     * And this is done with the ID of the Element, which shall be sorted with the Comparator, used as Map Key.
                     * All other columns of the assigned tables will be sorted by default Comparators.
                    IWDTable table = (IWDTable) view.getElement("[TableName]");
                    HashMap tableComps = new HashMap();
                    tableComps.put(view.getElement("[ColumnName]").getId(), new MyComp(wdContext.currentExampleElement())); //The map key value I looked for is the ID of the Element of the Column!
                    wdContext.current/*yourContextNode*/Element().setTableSort(
                            new TableSorter(table, wdThis.wdGetSortTableRowAction(),
                                    tableComps)); //Insert HashMap with the new Comparator
            public void onActionSortTableRow(com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.api.IWDCustomEvent wdEvent )
            //@@begin onActionSortTableRow(ServerEvent)
                            wdContext.currentConfigurationElement().getTableSort().sort(wdEvent, wdContext.nodeOpenIncident());
            //@@end
    As you see, the Column which is to be sorted by the custom Comparator "MyComp", is clearly assigned to it. Thus, is will only be used when sorting by this column is done.
    The "inActionSort" method is as usual.
    My Comparator sorts a column which contains variables of a "SimpleType" with an enumeration. (If you need help with this, feel free to write me.) To achieve this, the Comparator needs to know what this SimpleType consists of. That's why I deliver this Element per Constructor to it.
    public class MyComp implements Comparator
         MappedNodeElement element;
         public SeverityComp(I/*one*/Element element)
              this.element = element;
         public SeverityComp(I/*another*/Element element)
              this.element = element;
         public int compare(Object severity1, Object severity2)
    Because MappedNodeElement is such abstract, it can be used by several different Tables, provided they use the same SimpleType.
    Concerning my quest for this resolution, I hope this is helpful.

  • When to use abstract class compared to interface

    hi
    can some one plase advise me when to use abstract class compared to interface?
    Example will be appreciated...

    So an abstract class can carry implementation. This can be used to formulate a rule of thumb as to when to use it over an interface.
    If you have a so called type specialization relationship between the subtypes and the supertype then they're likely to benefit from shared implementation provided by the supertype, so use class (abstract or concrete) extension in this case. Type specialization is when the supertype represents a general concept like Fruit and the subtypes are specialized forms of that like Apple and Banana.
    Another common kind of relationship is called type expansion. In this case the subtypes are unlikely to have any use of implementation provided by the supertype, so use interface implementation. Type expansion is when the supertype represents a specific character the subtypes take on. For example Apple and Bicycle ure unrelated in the type specialization sense but still can share a common character like Comparable. The subtypes have been expanded to include the supertype character, namely the ability to be compared.

  • Using expression to compare Calendar object

    Hi,
    I wonder if anyone has experience to use expression to compare Calendar object. Here is my case:
    Application {
    Calendar applicationDate;
    What I want is something like:
    expression.get("applicationDate").between(startDate, endDate);
    But it is seems not working this way.
    Any clue?
    Thanks
    Hao

    What error are you getting, in general this should work, however the Calendar will be printed/bound as a java.sql.Timestamp.
    If you require to use java.sql.Date if you just want the date portion of the Calendar.
    If your mapping for applicationDate sets the fieldClassification (i.e. is a TypeConversionMapping), then TopLink will automatically convert the Calendar value in the expression to the correct date type.

  • Logic 8 Export Audio to Video using Pro Tools HD hardware

    Hello everyone,
    I am having problems with the "Export Audio to Video" Function in Logic 8. Logic will go through the export process just fine, but when I open the export elsewhere with logic closed there is no audio. The video plays fine. I have read that this function was broken in logic 7, and doesn't work with intel based macs. BUT, I am using logic 8 with a Power PC. One thing that might have an effect on this is we are not using the standard core audio driver. We are using our digidesign HD Hardware(Sync I/O, two 192 I/O's) for recording and playback. I set this in the audio prefs by choosing DAE as our audio driver. Im guessing this has something to do with the audio not bouncing out, or bouncing out to some weird unknown location and I cant find it. we have figured out a work around, but its time consuming and not so accurate. if anyone has any ideas please let me know!!!!!!
    thanks.......

    Well, I can't find it. I remember he said it was working fine under PT 7.3.1.
    I assume it would work under Core Audio using the Digi hardware, just not the DAE or DTDM features. If you're new to Logic then the Core Audio will be enough to get you up and running.
    Just from reading the manual the DTDM features don't seem to be any different than earlier versions. I was hoping for more surround support, but I guess I won't really know until I test it what is and is not possible. Currently I run ProTools on a MacPro and Logic on a G5 and link them with MTC, and I can always keep this approach if I find it's more flexible.

  • Many Physical Servers

    Hi guys... my question is... i have 2 Physical Servers.... which VMWare product can i use to consolidate this...so for example
    Server 1 has 8GB RAM, Server 2 has 4GB RAM...... i need to install 2 SAP Instances (2 VM Instances) with 6GB RAM each...
    Regards
       Chris

    > the 8 & 4 GB was just an examples... the real situation is that we have many SAP systems & i need to be able to allocate resources & adjust them when required... since we don't have identical hardware i really need to be able to consolidate them before allocating.... i also want to do this @ OS level (VMWare) & not @ SAP level (by having distributed systems).....
    If you change the amount of memory of a machine you have to reflect that in the application, means, if you e. g. increase the memory on VMWare for a SAP system you have to adapt SAP parameter to make use of that memory. Otherwise the OS will see the memory but will not use it.
    And of course you can run a number of SAP systems on the same machine, one with 4 GB, another with 8 GB and another one with 16 GB - if you have enough physical memory.
