Various questions + IMAP folder question

I finally realized that I can force the iPhone to use the server's Trash and Sent folder and am VERY pleased with this. Unfortunately, now I have extra folders on my iPhone--they don't show up on my IMAP server from what I see. It seems that the drafts folder initially got setup properly but Trash and Sent did not. They defaulted to storing on the device.
So, I have a "Deleted Messages" and "Sent Messages" folder that I do not want. They do not show up on my IMAP server and I don't want them, obviously. They just make me have to scroll on the folder list so it would be nice to eliminate them from the list--also so I don't accidentally use them.
So, is there a way to delete (or create) a folder on an IMAP server from the iPhone? This would probably let me fix the problem.

But the folders that show up on iPhone are local and are not actually on my IMAP server. I tried recreating the account on iPhone but it still created the unnecessary folders.
It's just that the iPhone creates local folders to store Trash and Sent items in (Deleted Messages and Sent Messages). Since I went into advanced settings and changed it to store the messages on the server instead, it still keeps these folders even though they aren't needed anymore.

  • A few various questions

    Can anyone help me with a few various questions about how to do certain things on the iPhone? Here's my questions:
    - Is there a way to turn off predictive text? I'd like to enter in a phone extension for a contact. I create a new field for the extension number. Then enter in "EXT" but it comes out to "ECT". Also, is there a way to delete that field? Is there a better way to do extensions?
    - How do I hide the keyboard when there isn't an option to hide it? This happens in the Mail settings area.
    - Is there a way to keep the keyboard in all caps just for a single word rather than having to switch to caps for each letter?
    - When I bookmark a website, sometimes the bookmark title is long so I can't see it all. I can click into the field but that puts the cursor at the end of the text string. Is there a way to then scroll left and see all of the words?
    Thanks,
    Brett

    Ok this should be a long one so dig in haha. Ill answer them in the order you asked.
    No, there is no way as of right now to turn off the predictive text feature. You must make sure to cancel the blue suggested word before hitting the space bar.
    There isnt an option to hide the keyboard in any of the applications on iPhone. Im not quite sure what you mean on this one either.
    There is a way to use all caps letters if you have enabled caps lock in the keyboard settings menu and then double tap the icon when typing. It will turn blue when it has been done correctly.
    If you tap and hold your finger on a piece of text, it will pop up a little magnifying glass which can be used to scroll left and right. Its a bit tricky to find the right place on the screen that will make it move though. You will get the hang of it eventually.
    Hope this helps. Enjoy your iPhone!!

  • Mail 3.6 doesn't show new message in IMAP folder

    Hello,
    I am using Mail with an IMAP server.
    On this IMAP server, mails are automatically sorted to different mailboxes (IMAP folder) via .procmail.rc directives.
    When I receive an Email and when this email is dispatched in the correct mailbox, Mail3.6 doesn't display this new message.
    Questions : How to set-up Mail3.6 to correctly display new incoming mail server sorted in IMAP folder ? or How to overcome this Mail bug ?
    PS : This question was already asked a few months ago on Apple Bug Report, answer was that this bug will be corrected on the next release.... Seems not...
    Thank you by adance

    Hello,
    I am having a very similar problem that just started happening recently when I started using gmail folders instead of my school's email (both IMAP).
    I have all emails configured for IMAP and the messages arrive fine, but when mail applies my custom filters and the messages are moved to the individual folders, the new message indicator (on the file and on the dock icon) are not present. The only new messages that appear are those in the mail Inbox. When I then click on the individual folders (I have to click through them all individually) it recognizes the new, unread email and updates the indicators (both next to the custom folder and on the dock icon).
    This is a frustrating issue because I do not have any indication that I have new mail unless I go and click on each folder individually.
    The issue just started occurring when i switched to using my gmail account. The folders seem to be set up appropriately to move messages in Mail and also have them labeled on gmail ([GMAIL]/foldername), but Mail just doesn't seem to recognize the messages as new once they have been moved to the folders until I sync (either by clicking on the folder or by using the "synchronize all accounts" command).
    Any suggestions? I found this same issue in the archived questions (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7513842), but it was not resolved.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

  • Good Mailing List reader (one IMAP folder)?

    Hi all, been using Evolution, but the way it handles tons of ML posts which have accumulated overnight bothers me, so much so I sometimes just go back to gmail's UI (single convo for each thread rocks!). Thunderbird doesn't handle things very much differently. In this case 'things' refers to having all my mailing list mail come into a single IMAP folder, with threads that can stretch to several dozen mails (one of the smaller kernel-related MLs) and many active threads at the same time (for example, the dovecot ML).
    What do you all use to read your MLs? Any other mailing client good for this? Wouldn't mind just using evo for my 'normal' mails, contacts, and calendaring, having a side app which accesses IMAP just to read the MLs (the IMAP server is local on my machine anyway). Thanks for your ideas.

    Hi AndyRTR, thanks for dropping by. If I may presume to ask more questions, what's good about claws-mail? What do you like about it? Is it more intuitive to you in the handling of ML threads?

  • How to lock a (IMAP) Folder or Message?

    I am working on a program that reads and processes email messages from a IMAP folder. Because there might be huge volume of messages to be processed, multiple processes of this program may run on different machines. Since a single message can only be processed once, I need a lock mechanism that guarantees that no message can be read by more than one processes at any time.
    Can anyone tell me how to do that by using JavaMail APIs? Thanks a lot.

    Thanks. I tried using flag but got duplicated messages. There is a method doCommand(IMAPFolder.ProtocolCommand cmd) in class IMAPFolder. The document says that it "Execute a user-supplied IMAP command. The command is executed in the appropriate context with the necessary locks held and using the appropriate IMAPProtocol object. " I tried to use it. But it seems that there was still a race condition. Below is my code:
    protected Message getNextMessage(IMAPFolder folder) throws Exception {
    if (! folder.isOpen())
    folder.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
    //curImapFolder is a class member variable
    curImapFolder = folder;
    Object val = folder.doCommand(new IMAPFolder.ProtocolCommand() {
    public Object doCommand(IMAPProtocol p) throws ProtocolException {
    Flags searchflags = new Flags(Flags.Flag.FLAGGED);
    searchflags.add(Flags.Flag.DELETED);
    FlagTerm term = new FlagTerm(searchflags, false);
    int[] ids = null;
    try {
    ids = p.search(term);
    } catch (SearchException se) {
    return null;
    if ((null == ids) || (ids.length <= 0))
    return null;
    Message msg = null;
    try {
    //get the first fresh message
    msg = curImapFolder.getMessage(ids[0]);
    } catch (MessagingException me) {
    msg = null;
    if (null != msg) {
    //set message not fresh
    Flags checkedflags = new Flags(Flags.Flag.FLAGGED);
    p.storeFlags(ids[0], checkedflags, true);
    return msg;
    else
    return null;
    return (Message)val;
    }

  • Shared IMAP Folder poorly supported in Mail.app

    The following article describes the process of constructing a shared imap folder using courier-imap.
    http://wiki.litux.org/ImapSharedFolders
    Towards the end it explains how to configure your favourite mail client to access the shared folder. Unfortunatly this seems to be a weakness for Mail.app which has only very poor support.
    ----EXTRACT----
    Apple Mail.app: this MUA doesn't support Folder Subscriptions, and don't support INBOX prefixes correctly (see first point). This restricts us to two options (with a third work-around): If you go to "Preferences, Advanced, IMAP path prefix" and set it to "INBOX", you'll have your folders in the right place, and not as sub-folders of INBOX, but you don't have access to "shared" folders anymore. If you remove it, you'll have access to everything but these everything will be sub-folders of INBOX, and will show in a very ugly way.
    A third solution, or a ugly work-around, is to configure two accounts (You'll need different imap server names, so just add an DNS alias or point to your IMAP IP). One account will have IMAP Prefix as "INBOX" and the other one have "shared". This solution have a ugly result - you'll see your inbox messages twice in Mail.app Inbox. Just activate "View, Organise as Thread" and ignore it. Maybe Mail.app 2.0 will fix all these
    ----END EXTRACT ----
    I am hoping that there is a better solution that the ones offered here.

    Solved the issue, I had deleted messages unhidden.

  • Cannot move mail to IMAP folder

    At some point recently after a Mail.app update, the following has changed:
    I can no longer move messages into my ISPs IMAP folder. Mail.app gives me a dialog saying: The destination mailbox "<name>" does not allow messages to be moved to it.
    The ISP says this is not true, and Windows and UNIX clients can move messages into the mailbox just fine.
    Only Mail.app cannot.
    This seems possibly related to another post I made about recent IMAP/Mail.app issues.
    Ideas appreciated.

    Mail.app and Dovecot IMAP server... for some reason the combination ended up leaving a process running that locked the mailbox permanently.
    This issue seems to be fixed on the server and Mail.app is happy now.
    No idea why it happened on the day Mail.app got updated.

  • How does one move or copy emails from one IMAP folder to another without loosing tags?

    I am using Thunderbird 31 with an IMAP server (one that I control) and I'm wanting to move some emails from one IMAP folder to another (within the same account) which works just fine, but I noticed that tags are not retained. Is there a way to copy/move emails without losing tags?
    Thanks:

    I think there are some misunderstood.
    I do not suggest to "Switch" devices.
    I suggest the safest way how you can do it.
    Connect device, where you have needed Address Book, buckup it (only Address Book)
    Then connect second device and just recover Address Book, after from Second device you can delete not needed contact.
    I have 6 devices for separate issue and in all of them same contact, with small changes

  • Copy emails from local folder to an IMAP folder on the computer?

    The title really doesn't describe what I want to do, sorry.
    My mum's Mini runs 10.7.5 and she uses Mail to read her Gmail account. Until now she's used POP to access and download emails but I've now set up IMAP.
    She has three local mailboxes on her computer - totalling some 1,5GB - which I would like to turn into Gmail mailboxes (i've already created the Labels in Gmail). I could copy the messages from these POP mailboxes to the IMAP boxes (both accounts are currently active in Mail) but that would eat up all of my mum's 3G broadband internet allotment.
    Is there anyway to circumvent this? What happens if I copy the local mailboxes in ~/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes to the IMAP folder in ~/Library/Mail/V2? Will that simply tag the messages or will that also move them across the internet connection?
    Could I use some Mail app rules or such which would be recognised by Gmail as labels?
    Thanks in advance for any insight. I have a feeling I will have to move the messages across the net but thought I should ask first.
    Many thanks

    Hi,
    I had tried using that very same extension right after messing things up, but it hadn't worked because I deleted the original folders as well.
    Then I tried doing a System Restore (luckily, Windows had decided to do an automatic one the night before), but still the missing emails weren't showing.
    A while after that I saw your suggestion and it hit me that I had not tried it after doing the System Restore, so I tried it and all messages were flooding back just like magic.
    Thank you very much for your help! I'm very happy right now.

  • Post-Kernel Panic: Various questions on iTunes, mail, stability, help!

    I recently experienced a Kernel Panic on my Macbook Pro from late 2010 (2.53 ghz, 4 gb ram, 500 gb OS X snow leopard etc).
    First, a quick overview of the Kernel Panic process:
    I had a lot of stuff running simultaneously, and the system started hanging for several minutes. I then made a manual shutdown by pressing the power button, and when I started it up again, I entered the wonderful realm of Kernel Panic.
    Extended hardware test found nothing wrong.
    Disk Utility told me there were a corrupt sibling file, as well as about three corrupt record files (I think they were called that - it looked pretty generic, but unfortunately I didn't write anything down).
    I couldn't start in safe mode, a PRAM boot didn't do anything, nothing worked. I couldn't reinstall OS X, as I got a message saying there couldn't be written to my harddisk.
    I didn't have any Time Machine backup, so a very friendly collague of mine took my MPB apart, and in short transferred the contents of my harddisk onto an external harddisk. I then formatted my harddrive, reinstalled OS X, and am now in the process of putting everything back in place, as well as I can. But I have a bunch of questions and observations I'm a little worried about, and I very much hope someone can help me.
    It must be mentioned that I haven't taken the MBP online again yet; I am currently still at work and am not able to get my Mac online on the work network (it's locked). Therefore there are some OS X updates I haven't reinstalled yet.
    - I have managed to rebuild all my subfolders in the default Mail program; however, my Inbox is nowhere to be found on the external harddrive, and I can't seem to find the location of my new inbox anywhere. Is it eternally lost, or can I restore it? My extemely important mails are saved (software licenses etc), but there were quite a few mails in my inbox that are important as well and i'd like to get them back.
    - ITunes seem to have some issues with handling the import of my entire music/podcast archive (about 120 GB). If I select more than approx. 15 gb to import, it starts hanging, and I have to force quit it and retry with a smaller chunk. Is this normal, or should I be worried?
    Note: I did notice that a couple of the folders in the salvaged iTunes archive were completely empty - there's only a picture of a blank piece of paper next to it, instead of a folder icon, and the size is 0 kb. I can just re-rip the music to my library, but I am a little suspicious of this.
    - More iTunes. One of the times I force-quit it and then tried to reopen it, I got an error message saying that I couldn't open the iTunes application, because the files were locked, or the archives were locked, or something along those lines. I got quite a scare, but after restarting the mac, iTunes opened as it should. Again, should I be worried? Is this normal?
    - I am considering getting a new harddisk for the MBP, a Seagate Momentus XT 500 gb, as I am a little wary of the default harddisk after this. I figure that since I haven't put anything back in place yet, it would be the same if I had to format and reinstall OS X once more. The damage has already been done, so to speak. Would this be a good idea, or is it unneccessary? (I have ordered a RAM upgrade, so i'll be running with 8gb instead of the default 4).
    - Why did this Kernel Panic happen? I know I made a force shutdown, but why did it go so wrong? I would like to know what caused it, so I can prevent it. Couldn't it handle the extensive simultaneous processes I was putting it through (my gargantuan iTunes library was running, I was watching a video, had many tabs open in Chrome, it was hot etc)? Will the planned RAM upgrade fix the issue? Is there something fishy about my harddrive?
    I hope someone will take the time to answer my many questions, and I am very grateful for any help.

    The most important thing for you to learn from the experience is that you'll inevitably lose all your data if you don't make backups. Regard that as a certainty, not a risk. Do no more work with the computer until you have a backup solution in place.
    The second point is that your hard drive has failed and you shouldn't continue to use it. Shut down the computer now and don't start it again until the drive has been replaced.
    For future reference, familiarize yourself with FireWire target mode:
    How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
    This mode can be used to access the internal storage device of a Mac without booting it.
    Some of your files have apparently been lost or corrupted. If you don't have backups, they're almost certainly gone forever. It's possible to attempt data recovery on a failed drive, but the more you use it, the less the chance of success. I have no experience in this area.
    As for why the kernel panic happened, that's impossible to say without a panic log, but it was most likely caused by the drive failure.

  • FS10N - Various questions. Only Gurus!

    Dear Gurus,
    I have the following question for you:
    When I log into FS10N and enter a G/L account number for a given company code, I have the following problem with the following field called: ZUONR or 'Assignment'.
    The system reacts very strangely and proposes randomly various documents types he chooses freely such as:
    1- Material Number
    or
    2- Controlling order
    or
    3- Sales invoice number
    or
    4- Date which appears in different formats such as 20090122
    As you can see, there is no consistency of value as they change for no apparent reasons.
    Why is the system behaving this way?
    1- Is there a connection with a type of document?
    2- Is there a connection with different G/L accounts?
    3- Is this happening when the system posts sales invoices?
    4- When we set for G/L accounts "Sort Key" to be "Material Number" and post controlling closing procedures for PP, the system enters in this field "Order Number" from CO instead?
    We also can see that in FS10N
    Your help is greatly appreciated on this.
    Regards
    Chris

  • Outputting to BetaSP - Various Questions

    Hi, I have a 10 minute segment of various clips that I plan to send out to various local/national broadcast companies. Since the universal broadcast format seems to be betasp, I am outputting to it.
    My first question is how much bar/tone do I need at the beginning and end of each tape?
    Secondly, as I am only equipped with DV firewire decks and a canopus ADVC300, would it be possible to output to miniDV tape and then from miniDV to BetaSP (by hooking up my miniDV deck to my betaSP deck). The video is standard NTSC.
    Any help would be appreciated. I hope I am supplying enough information.
    -Alexi

    My first question is how much bar/tone do I need at the beginning and end of each tape?
    1 min. Starting from 58:30:00 to 59:30:00. Program to start at 1:00:00:00 on the nose.
    Secondly, as I am only equipped with DV firewire decks and a canopus ADVC300, would it be possible to output to miniDV tape and then from miniDV to BetaSP (by hooking up my miniDV deck to my betaSP deck). The video is standard NTSC.
    Not if you want to deliver a show with the proper timecode. Either get a capture card, or have the dub done at a dub facility that can dub with the proper timecode...assuming you have the proper timing in the output.
    And you'd better make sure that the show is properly color corrected so that your whites don't exceed 100 IRE and your blacks don't go below 7.5 IRE...and that your colors are all within acceptable limits. And that your audio peaks a the proper levels.

  • Various questions on uplink profiles, CoS, native VLAN, downlink trunking

    I will be using vPC End Host Mode with MAC-pinning. I see I can further configure MAC-Pinning. Is this required or will it automatically forward packets by just turning it on? Is it also best not to enable failover for the vnics in this configuration? See this text from the Cisco 1000V deployment Guide:
    Fabric Fail-Over Mode
    Within the Cisco UCS M71KR-E, M71KR-Q and M81KR adapter types, the Cisco Unified Computing System can
    enable a fabric failover capability in which loss of connectivity on a path in use will cause remapping of traffic
    through a redundant path within the Cisco Unified Computing System. It is recommended to allow the Cisco Nexus
    1000V redundancy mechanism to provide the redundancy and not to enable fabric fail-over when creating the
    network interfaces within the UCS Service Profiles. Figure 3 shows the dialog box. Make sure the Enable Failover
    checkbox is not checked."
    What is the 1000V redundancy?? I didn't know it has redundancy. Is it the MAC-Pinning set up in the 1000V? Is it Network State Tracking?
    The 1000V has redundancy and we can even pin VLANs to whatever vNIC we want. See Cisco's Best Practices for Nexus 1000V and UCS.
    Nexus1000V management VLAN. Can I use the same VLAN for this and for ESX-management and for Switch management? E.g VLan 3 for everything.
    According to the below text (1000V Deployment Guide), I can have them all in the same vlan:
    There are no best practices that specify whether the VSM
    and the VMware ESX management interface should be on the same VLAN. If the management VLAN for
    network devices is a different VLAN than that used for server management, the VSM management
    interface should be on the management VLAN used for the network devices. Otherwise, the VSM and the
    VMware ESX management interfaces should share the same VLAN.
    I will also be using CoS and Qos to prioritize the traffic. The CoS can either be set in the 1000V (Host control Full) or per virtual adapter (Host control none) in UCS. Since I don't know how to configure CoS on the 1000V, I wonder if I can just set it in UCS (per adapter) as before when using the 1000V, ie. we have 2 choices.
    Yes, you can still manage CoS using QoS on the vnics when using 1000V:
    The recommended action in the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series is to assign a class of service (CoS) of 6 to the VMware service console and VMkernel flows and to honor these QoS markings on the data center switch to which the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnect connects. Marking of QoS values can be performed on the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switch in all cases, or it can be performed on a per-VIF basis on the Cisco UCS M81KR or P81E within the Cisco Unified Computing System with or without the Cisco Nexus 1000V Series Switch.
    Something else: Native VLANs
    Is it important to have the same native VLAN on the UCS and the Cisco switch? And not to use the default native VLAN 1?   I read somewhere that the native VLAN is used for communication between the switches and CDP amongst others. I know the native VLAN is for all untagged traffic. I see many people set the ESXi management VLAN as native also, and in the above article the native VLAN (default 1) is setup. Why? I have been advised to leave out the native VLAN.
    Example:Will I be able to access a VM set with VLAN 0 (native) if the native VLAN is the same in UCS and the Cisco switch (Eg. VLAN 2)? Can I just configure a access port with the same VLAN ID as the native VLAN, i.e 2 and connect to it with a PC using the same IP network address?
    And is it important to trunk this native VLAN? I see in a Netapp Flexpod config they state this: "This configuration also leverages the native VLAN on the trunk ports to discard untagged packets, by setting the native VLAN on the port channel, but not including this VLAN in the allowed VLANs on the port channel". But I don't understand it...
    What about the downlinks from the FI to the chassis. Do you configure this as a port channel also in UCS? Or is this not possible with the setup described here with 1000V and MAC-pinning.
    No, port channel should not be configured when MAC-pinning is configured.
    [Robert] The VSM doesn't participate in STP so it will never send BPDU's.  However, since VMs can act like bridges & routers these days, we advise to add two commands to your upstream VEM uplinks - PortFast and BPDUFilter.  PortFast so the interface is FWD faster (since there's no STP on the VSM anyway) and BPDUFilter to ignore any received BPDU's from VMs.  I prefer to ignore them then using BPDU Gaurd - which will shutdown the interface if BPDU's are received.
    -Are you thinking of the upstream switch here (Nexus, Catalyst) or the N1kV uplink profile config?
    Edit: 26 July 14:23. Found answers to many of my many questions...

I have been advised to leave out the native VLAN.[Robert] The native VLAN is assigned per hop.  This means between the 1000v Uplinks port profile and your UCS vNIC definition, the native VLAN should be the same.  If you're not using a native VLAN, the "default" VLAN will be used for control traffic communication.  The native VLAN and default VLAN are not necessarily the same.  Native refers to VLAN traffic without an 802.1q header and can be assigned or not.  A default VLAN is mandatory.  This happens to start as VLAN 1 in UCS but can be changed. The default VLAN will be used for control traffic communication.  If you look at any switch (including the 1000v or Fabric Interconnects) and do a "show int trunk" from the NXOS CLI, you'll see there's always one VLAN allowed on every interface (by default VLAN 1) - This is your default VLAN.Example:Will I be able to access a VM set with VLAN 0 (native) if the native VLAN is the same in UCS and the Cisco switch (Eg. VLAN 2)? Can I just configure a access port with the same VLAN ID as the native VLAN, i.e 2 and connect to it with a PC using the same IP network address?[Robert] There's no VLAN 0.  An access port doesn't use a native VLAN - as its assigned to only to a single VLAN.  A trunk on the other hand carries multiple VLANs and can have a native vlan assigned.  Remember your native vlan usage must be matched between each hop.  Most network admins setup the native vlan to be the same throughout their network for simplicity.  In your example, you wouldn't set your VM's port profile to be in VLAN 0 (doens't exist), but rather VLAN 2 as an access port.  If VLAN 2 also happens to be your Native VLAN northbound of UCS, then you would configured VLAN 2 as the Native VLAN on your UCS ethernet uplinks.  On switch northbound of the UCS Interconnects you'll want to ensure on the receiving trunk interface VLAN 2 is set as the native vlan also.  Summary:1000v - VM vEthernet port profile set as access port VLAN 21000v - Ethernet Uplink Port profile set as trunk with Native VLAN 2UCS - vNIC in Service Profile allowing all required VLANs, and VLAN 2 set as NativeUCS - Uplink Interface(s) or Port Channel set as trunk with VLAN 2 as Native VLANUpstream Switch from UCS - Set as trunk interface with Native VLAN 2From this example, your VM will be reachable on VLAN 2 from any device - assuming you have L3/routing configured correctly also.And is it important to trunk this native VLAN? I see in a Netapp Flexpod config they state this: "This configuration also leverages the native VLAN on the trunk ports to discard untagged packets, by setting the native VLAN on the port channel, but not including this VLAN in the allowed VLANs on the port channel". But I don't understand it...[Robert] This statement recommends "not" to use a native VLAN.  This is a practice by some people.  Rather than using a native VLAN throughout their network, they tag everything.  This doesn't change the operation or reachability of any VLAN or device - it's simply a design descision.  The reason some people opt not to use a native VLAN is that almost all switches use VLAN 1 as the native by default.  So if you're using the native VLAN 1 for management access to all your devices, and someone connects in (without your knowing) another switch and simply plug into it - they'd land on the same VLAN as your management devices and potentially do harm.What about the downlinks from the FI to the chassis. Do you configure this as a port channel also in UCS? Or is this not possible with the setup descrived here with 1000V and MAC-pinning.[Robert] On the first generation hardware (6100 FI and 2104 IOM) port channeling is not possible.  With the latest HW (6200 and 2200) you can create port channels with all the IOM - FI server links.  This is not configurable.  You either tell the system to use Port Channel or Individual Links.  The major bonus of using a Port Channel is losing a link doesn't impact any pinned interfaces - as it would with individual server interfaces.  To fix a failed link when configured as "Individual" you must re-ack the Chassis to re-pinn the virtual interfaces to the remaining server uplinks.  In regards to 1000v uplinks - the only supported port channeling method is "Mac Pinning".  This is because you can't port channel physical interfaces going to separate Fabrics (one to A and one to B).  Mac Pinning gets around this by using pinning so all uplinks can be utilized at the same time.--[Robert] The VSM doesn't participate in STP so it will never send BPDU's.  However, since VMs can act like bridges & routers these days, we advise to add two commands to your upstream VEM uplinks - PortFast and BPDUFilter.  PortFast so the interface is FWD faster (since there's no STP on the VSM anyway) and BPDUFilter to ignore any received BPDU's from VMs.  I prefer to ignore them then using BPDU Gaurd - which will shutdown the interface if BPDU's are received.-Are you thinking of the upstream switch here (Nexus, Catalyst) or the N1kV uplink profile config?[Robert] The two STP commands would be used only when the VEM (ESX host) is directly connected to an upstream switch.  For UCS these two commands to NOT apply.

  • Various questions on SAP XI usage

    Hi XI Experts,
    I have few questions on SAP XI usage :
    Q1-Does SAP XI is unique - client like BW ?
    If multi - clients is possible is there any particular usage recommandations when in design, configuration and production deploiement on PRD SAP XI System ?.
    Q2-is it technically possible to restart a well processed message (with nice black & white flag in SXMB_MONI) ?
    And I know its not a good thing to try to do this...
    Q3-is it technically possible to modify XML payload in message ?
    And I know again its a very bad thing to try to do this...
    Q4-We have to work with xCBL 4.0 definitions. I think i only have to import all XSD definitions as External Definitions in Interface Objects of my repository. Does it right ?
    Great thanks for your(s) response(s).
    Best regards
    Etienne

    Hi,
    >>>>Q2 : few methods....hum hum...
    one of them I described in my weblog:
    /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/09/xi-restarting-successfully-processed-messages
    >>>>Q3 : i 'm in SP16. Do you think it'll be as simple as "Right click on message -> Restart message" ?.
    yes it will be that simple as WE19 for IDOCs in R3:)

  • SB Live 5.1 (SB0060) - various questions, help appreciated

    Hi,
    I have numerous questions. Hope they aren't too annoying..
    . I just installed a new card it's an SB Li've 5..
    I think it's SB0060 - the box says "Model SB0060US" and "Product Part No: 70SB006003007" on top. But the bottom says "OuterBox Part No. 06SB02220004". Is this really SB00600?
    2. If it's really SB0600, why did the CD not install any DOS drivers? (I was told here that SB0600 is that last card that supports DOS - which is the reason I bought it).
    3. Using my old DOSDRV directory from my old SB Li've! Value installation, I was able to get it to work in DOS anyway. Woohoo! But is this actually safe? Is there a legitimate download containing the DOS drivers or should I carry these old files around with me? I'm using "BLASTER=A220 I5 D H5 P330 T6 J200"; is T6 (type 6) the right type for this card?
    4. DOS games, e.g. Doom, don't seem to have sound in Windows. Only when I run them in DOS.
    5. A leaflet that came with the card suggested uninstalling WDM drivers and installing VXD drivers on Win 98 SE to prevent "performance problems". I heard stuttering and skipping sounds (strange since my CPU is 3.4 GHz) so I installed the VXD drivers like it said. Now, MIDI's seem much quieter than before and I can't get them nearly as loud as MP3's. Changing AudioHQ / Volume sliders or Sound Font didn't seem to help, any ideas?
    6. "Device Controls" no longer appears under AudiopHQ. As a result, I can't change the "Max Simultaneous Wav Playback" setting. Any ideas?
    7. Is this card better than SB Li've Value!? I couldn't see any improvements right away.
    8. This SB0060 did not come with an 8 MB soundbank, but in Sound Font I was able to select an old 8 MB soundbank that came with SB Li've! Value. Shouldn't a better card come with sound fonts at least as good as a previous one?
    9. My system hangs when I try to install Li'veWare 3.0. Is this program inapplicable to my new SB0060 card?

    FYI..
    5. It looks like the VXD drivers lead to quiet MIDI's. So on Win 98 SE, it's EITHER STUTTERING SOUNDS (WDM drivers) or NEARLY SILENT MIDI's (VXD drivers)
    Also, this SB0060 card is exhibiting a problem that my CT4830 SB Li've! Value did NOT exhibit - if I'm playing an MP3 file and my system pauses, e.g. when I insert a USB device, the CT4830 used to just pause for a moment if at all. The SB0060 with VXD driver causes nasty clicks and pops and just becomes silent; I have to start playing the MP3 file again to fix the problem
    Also I tried installing the drivers that came with my SB Li've! Value on the SB Li've! 5. and they do NOT work!! It looks like SB6 emulation is impossible on the SB0060 card! Now I cannot play many good games like DOOM, DOOM2, HERETIC, WITCHAVEN, DUKE NUKEM 3D, WOLFENSTEIN, etc. in Windows!
    Li'veware 3.0 instantly CRASHES; since Creative does not offer any Li'veware drivers on their website any more I will try to track down Li'veware .0 which INCLUDES DOS support. If you know where to get Li'veware .0 please post information here!
    Currently I am thinking of going back to my old SB Li've! Value. SB0060 has many problems . Also the software provided with SB0060 is inferior to the combination of SB Li've! Value drivers plus the Li'veware 3.0 upgrade.
    It does not help that creative labs has extremely slow response on this website! And Creative labs personnel did NOT warn me about these SB0060 problems!!
