VMware FT failover not transparent on Nexus1000v

Hello,
I was wondering if anybody could help me with this one.
I'm staging a new virtual infrastructure architecture for my company hosted onVMware ESX4.1 with N1KV 4.0(4) SV1 (3a)  solution on top.
When testing the final design I've noticed that a VMware FT protected VM would lose connectivity for approx 8 seconds -actually losing TCP state!- upon a FT failover event while having the VM hosted under the N1K, hence defeating the whole purpose of the VMware FT.
However, while executing the very same operation having the VM hosted on the standard vSwitch on the same server, the failover event is completely transparent, i.e., no state loss..
I'm currently already fully engaged with Cisco TAC which also got the N1K product development team involved. At this stage they have not identified the precise problem altough we've managed to isolate it.
I'm wondering whether anybody is or has experienced this problem. According to Cisco they do not have any historical case data on VMware FT issues in combination with the nexus 1k.
Thank you for your response,
Roger.

  • My menu bar is NOT transparent!?

    So, what's the deal here. My menu bar is NOT transparent. The only thing I can think may be causing this is that I have a second monitor running on an ATI card through the PCI slot. Seems weird to me that the menu bar would go solid because of the presence of a second monitor but that's really the only thing that comes to mind. Anyone else seeing this? I know that a lot of you would like to dump the transparent menu bar so maybe I shouldn't complain. That said, I'd really like to know what's going on here.

    I definitely don't hate it. I actually don't mind it at all. Don't love it... don't hate it... it is what it is I guess <g>. I never gave it much consideration until I saw all the hate threads
    The background I was using before taking the screenshot was black at the top anyway, so maybe that made a difference in my not really paying it much mind.

  • Icon in taskbar not transparent

    Just a very minor nitpicking issue:
    The icon used for Raptor on the taskbar has a white background and is not transparent. This doesn't look very pretty. Probably one for the very last entry on your issue list.

    and maybe the icon should be more expressive. Some black border around symbol etc. See my current icons in taskbar - it's hard to find the raptor's one:

    Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
    It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

    The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
    Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

  • Photoshop to Illustrator: background not transparent

    Hello everyone,
    Can someone tell me why this happens and how to fix or get around or tell me the proper method?  When transferring from Photoshop to Illustrator by copy/paste or directly dragging an image, object, etc., the background in not transparent.  My workaround is to save as .psd and place in Illustrator, which is a pain.  I thought there was "seamless" integration.
    Thanks a bunch,

    I am currently trying to create an .svg using Photoshop .psd file (with layers in tact).  I'm new to these products so it may be obvious to others that the above intention was to eventually place the .svg in some sort of website creation software such as Muse.  Which is precisely what I am attempting. However, I am getting a white background once I place or copy and paste into Muse.  My starting .psd has a transparent background without any hidden layers causing this problem.  To test this I placed the .psd file into Muse and it still has a transparent background.  However when opening or placing this file into illustrator, it picks up a white background. If I do exactly as described above, I still get the same result.  So far I have tried:
    1) Simple copy and paste from Photoshop .svg to illustrator to Muse.  Result - white background.
    2) Placing the .psd in illustrator, then placing the .svg file in muse.  Result - white background.
    4) I have also tried the every combination of 1 and 2. - Result - white background.
    3) I have now created a path in Photoshop from the text layer to yet again attempt the above methods.  Result - white background.
    I'm including an image of the object I am trying to place with transparent background, but I have both a flattened rasterized version, a version complete with layers and a third (.svg) with the corresponding objects.  I am completely new to Illustrator as of today so any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

    Apparently you need to go into the BIOS setting of your computer. Normally you would have to press a certain key right after your computer reboots or starts.

Is this what you tried?Yes I have tried that using F2 key to bring up the BIOS and when I bring up the system BIOS, I just can't same to fine where I need to enable VT.

  • "Transparent Video" is NOT transparent

    I am using Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium.  MY OS is Windows VISTA running on 64 bit with 8 GB of memory.  I have a 300 GB HD with 106 GB free space.  My projects and assetts go to an Enhance Tech RAID system with over 2 TBs free.
    For some odd reason when I activate the "transparent video" and drag it to the timeline it is NOT transparent.  I of course place it on the highest video track, because I'm using it for timecode when having videos evaluated.  The only work-around is to change the Blend Mode from Normal to Screen, unfortunately when you go that route it has to be rendered, which takes forever.
    For kicks I clicked on Bars & Tone from New Item and the color bars don't appear.  The tone works fine, but the video is pure black just like the transparent video.
    Any ideas on what my problem could be?

    No, I haven't tried re-capturing video without the Marox, but here is a goofy question.
    I've gone to a blank location on the Timeline and placed a Blue Color Matte on Video Track 1—which means it wasn't captured through Matrox, and I still get the black screen when I place the Transparent Video on Video Track 2 above it.  I also tried putting a jpg picture on Video track 1 with the same "black" results.
    Does that help you, or am I not understanding why I need to re-capture "video" without the Matrox?  Is Matrox still involved, even if the assets are not brought in by Matrox?
    Tim
    Read Colin's post.  I think he is right; its probably not necessary to recapture footage to test since you are testing non captured acessts.   Just use a non matrox preset.

  • I have downloaded ios7.1 but the folders and the bar below have a grey color not transparent or even a blur color like all the iproducts (i have iPad 3) the problem was after the iOS7.1!! What shall i do?

    The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
    If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

    Pidgin icon not transparent in gnome panel.
    Is this gnome-panel related, or Pidgin related?
    Some other icons like Skype are transparent, but others are not
    (VLC player tray icon is not transparent, for instance)

    As said on the bugtracker:
    For those who wish to get this working before pidgin 2.7, you can build the current 2.6 from ABS with patches and it seems to be working. See jarryson's later posts in http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=731130 . Other apps are still in need of their own fixes. It occurs with many themes, but not with some..

  • Tuxedo failover not working

    Hi,
    we are working with Tuxedo 11gR1 to let us access to an application. The configuration file uses two database IP addresses, related to the same instance that is configured in Active/Passive cluster configuration. Once the tuxedo servers listed into the ubbconfig are started, the application works properly. We did a failover testing, letting the first database node crash, the access to the application was denied.
    All was working again once the servers did an autorestart, but after about 15-20 minutes. Is there any way to reduce (if it exists) the timeout to let the autorestart occur in case of any crashing situation?
    Many thanks,
    Giuseppe.

    Hi Giuseppe,
    The answer to your question depends upon how the connections to the database are being managed.  If the servers are part of a transactional group meaning there are TMS servers associated with the group and the servers were build with the -r switch to buildserver, then Tuxedo will manage the connections.  What this means is that Tuxedo uses the xa_open() call to establish a connection to the database for the application and the application should not be performing any SQL CONNECT statements.  If Tuxedo receives an XA error during transaction processing, then Tuxedo will automatically try to re-establish the connection to the database.  Also note that if you are using RAC, you must configure the TUXRACGROUPS environment variable and configure the database to use DTP Services.  The DTP Service should be configured to failover to the other instance in the database configuration file.
    On the other hand, if the server is not part of a transactional group, then all database connection management is left up to the application and in fact, Tuxedo is completely unaware that a database is even being used.  So your code does an SQL CONNECT and if it receives an error at some point, it likely has to reconnect with another SQL CONNECT.  To help in this situation, you should be able to use TAF (Transparent Application Failover) to let the database client code attempt the reconnects.
    As far as the timeout goes, I suspect your servers are hanging trying some DML statement and eventually Tuxedo kills the servers due to SVCTIMEOUT.  Why they are hanging is still an unknown as I don't know how your application is accessing the database or how your servers are coded.
