VSphere Port Mirror - Possible Bug Found

Hi,
Something i came across to and thought could be worth while reporting it since i havent seen any reference to it elsewhere:
We've configured a few "source remote port mirror rules" for a few VMs, in a way that each VM had 3 vNics that were mirrored.
long story shot: one VM had one vNic that was E1000 and not VMXNET3 like all the others, each time i enabled the "source remote port mirror" rule for the E1000 vNic, all other port mirrors (from this VM and other VMs located on the same ESX) stopped working. problem was solved after i removed the vNic and created a new one, this time a VMXNET3 vNic.
didnt see any reference about E1000/VMXNET3 regarding vSphere Port Mirroring. New bug maybe?

Possible bug found in Mac Os X Tiger 10.4.11 in conjuction with iPod Touch

Dears,
I think I've found a possible bug in Mac Os X version 10.4.11 in conjunction with iPod Touch.
When the iPod is connected during boot, my Bluetooth hardware fails to be detected. When I restart the portable without the iPod connected, my Bluetooth hardware is recognised & activated again. It is reproduceable.
1. Attach iPod Touch before starting the MacBook Pro
2. Boot the Macbook
3. Bluetooth hardware should be rendered inoperative
Restore functionality:
1. Detach the iPod Touch
2. Reboot the portable
3. Bluetooth hardware is restarted / recognised.

Possible bug found in jndi

hi @ all,
i'm using jdk 1.5.0_04 which includes jndi already.
i figured out, that when i set the propertyjava.naming.ldap.version to a hashtable which i parse toInitialLdapContext as the environment jndi does not recognizes it. I took a look to the sources and foud that the ldap version is set fix at the constructor AFTER the environmental hashtable has been copied to the internal data.
is it possible that this is a bug or is there something i'm missing to know?
can someone answer this question?

Possible bug found+features request

While the fact Playbook has original pdf reader from Adobe makes me happy, the discovery of the feature-less program cooled very quickly my initial enthusiasm...
The reader crashes randomly when trying to navigate through larger files: 50+pages. Sometimes it takes just a flip of a couple pages to find myself dropped back to Playbook homescreen, sometimes just a bit longer. Without the proper navigation options it is plain PITA to try and find the last page before the crash.
Further on, please add the options to manually control the rotation of the pages. I'm finding myself often turning my head instead as the playbook will rotate the pages which are saved sideways.
Looking forward for update.
Thanks

Bug Found and Fix Found Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig

9Bug Found and Fix Found> Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig?Hello I was having problems getting my MP3 TAGS to show up on a number of my MP3's.
Whenever I loaded my files onto my ZEN it would show up as a Voice under Recordings.
And the file name would be "MIC and the date file created etc..."
I noticed that these files where all starting with the letters MIC at the front of the filename...
For instance: Michael_Jackson_Thriller.mp3?? or? Michael_W_Smith_Let_it_rain.mp3
and so on and so on... ANY file that started with the letters M I C? would be thrown in as a voice recorded file and the TAG would not operate.
I have the latest Firmware on my MP3 Player.
The fix was just to change the file name so it did not start with MIC... so i went and switched Michael Jackson to M.Jackson and also switched Michael W Smith to M W smith.
The tag showed up appropriately and I have had no problems since.
It would be nice if there was another Firmware update so that MP3's could start with the letters MIC also I was hoping to bring awareness to this situation for other users.

=Re: Bug Found and Fix Found> Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig?I did three methods of?loading the files.
I used Windows Media Player to sync the files.
I used Creative Central to transfer the files.
These two methods produced results where the file starting with MIC turned into a voice recordings.
I also had problems just copying and pasting the files (using windows explorer).
I have not had any problems with any other file. I normally use MP3Tag to tag my files.
However i even tried using Windows Media to tag the file and I even tried using Creative Central to tag the files.
I tried as many work arounds as possible. But once i renamed the file it worked.

Possible Bug with Drag-and-Drop Being Published via HTML5 - Getting "Undefined" Error When Dragging Object

Hello,
I came up with a way to use drag-and-drop interactions that will take advantage of file input so that I may create a drag-and-drop interaction that uses one draggable object over and over allowing multiple scoring/tracking possibilities. Example use...is having the draggable object be dynamic in that it randomly changes its text so that a learner can drag a term it's possible classification.........thus allowing the possibility of having many terms easily loaded without having to redo a drag-and-drop interaction for each needed terms/classifications updates/changes.
My Issue: When using a variable to represent the text for a draggable Smart Shape object, I'm getting the error message "undefined" when, clicking/pressing on the object, as well as during the drag of the object. This issue occurs when publishing the project in an HTML5 format. Flash interestingly enough seems to work perfect...but we are not interested in publishing via Flash any longer.
To better help you explore this error message, I've set up a test project so that you can see when and how the "undefined" message shows up during a drag-and-drop interaction. I've also included the Captivate 8 project file used to make the exploration project I'm sharing in this post.
Link to Captivate project I created for you all to explore "undefined" error message": http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug/
Link to this Captivate 8 Project file: http://iti.cscc.edu/drag_and_drop_bug.cptx
It's pretty interesting how things react in this demo, please try the following actions to see some interesting happenings:
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target.
Drag Black Hello square to Drag target and click undo or reset - watch the undefined message come up on the Yellow (or variable drag box).
Drag the Yellow (or variable drag box) to the drag target and then use the undo or reset.
Move both draggable boxes to the drag target and use the undo and reset buttons...
Anyhow, I know you all are sharp and will run the demo through its paces.
I'd really be very honored if anyone help me figure out how I could (when publishing out to HTML5) no longer have the "undefined" error message show up when using drag-and-drop with a variable for shape text. This technique has been well received at the college I work at...and I have many future project requests for using such an idea on a variety of similar interactions. I'd love see a solution or see if this might be a bug Adobe may be able to fix!
I tried to find a solution to the issue documented here for quite some time, but I was not able to find anyone with this problem much less attempting the idea I'm sharing in the help request - save the darn "undefined" message that comes up!
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or direction that you all may be able to provide,
Paul

Hello,
I just wanted to supply a minor update related to my drag-and-drop question/issue stated above:
I did another test using Captivate 7, and found that the undefined error (publishing as HTML5) does not appear and the variable data remains visible - except the variable data turns very small and does not honor any font size related settings.
I did go ahead and submit this to Adobe as a possible bug today.
Thanks again for any help related to this issue. If the issued documented above is solved, it will allow many amazing things to be done using Captivate's drag-and-drop for both regular type projects as well as interaction development for iBooks!
Matter of fact if this issue gets fixed, I'll publish a Blog entry (or video) on way's I've used Captivate's drag-and-drop to create dynamic learning activities for Higher Ed. and for use in iBooks.

Cat 3750-Span (Port Mirroring issue)

Hello team
I am facing port mirroring issue in my setup. Details of the setup are mentioned below
Setup--
Stack of 4 catalyst switches WS-C3750X-48P running software 15.0(1) SE3 .Approximately 12 vlans are configured in this setup and port mirroring is done for all vlans with destination configured as single Gig Ethernet port...The setup works fine from mirroring perspective for 3-4 days and after that machine connected to destination port stops getting data.
Observations-
It has been observed that during the issue, the port configured for mirror destination has lot of packet drop/input errors on the port statistics.
If we configure only TX packet mirroring, it works for 8 -10 days
If we configure TX & RX packet mirroring, it works for 2-3 days
Testing done
Tried clearing counter on destination port but no success (mirroring doesn’t start)
Tried shut /no shut for the destination port but no success.
Tried restarting the machine connected to destination port but no success
Workaround
We need to reconfigure the mirroring configuration after removing the mirroring config from the switch. Once the same is done, mirroring starts working.
Want to understand
1-is there any HW limitation for the switch (destination port not capable of handling mirroring traffic)
2-is there any software related issue?
3-what can be permanent resolution for the same..

Hello
We have tried this previously but found same result.
1- we deleted the monitror session and recreated again with same session number
2-we deleted the monitor session and created new session (session id diffrent ) with same config..
in both cases its working for 3-4 days..

Possible bug? formatted number 0 displays as 4,294,967,295

This is really two questions in one. First, I have a routine
that sometimes provides a result of 0, which is *sometimes*
displayed in an AdvancedDataGrid column as 4,294,967,295, which I'm
assuming is somehow a meaningful number (largest int?). Anyway, I
have an ADG with a column defined as:
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Remaining work"
labelFunction="rem_work_fmt" textAlign="right" />
The labelFunction called is shown below:
private function rem_work_fmt(item:Object,
column:AdvancedDataGridColumn):String
var num:String =
numberFormatter.format(item.get_remaining_work());
trace ("result: " + num);
return num;
The trace output prints: "result: 0" as expected, but the
number displayed in the grid is sometimes 0 and sometimes
4,294,967,295.
More weirdness, this only happens to the last column in the
ADG. I call the same format logic on a different column and have
never seen the wrong result. Also, the same underlying function
"get_remaining_work()" is called elsewhere on the same data and the
result is correctly displayed in a text field as 0.
Second question, I've run into some other possible bugs,
which I haven't reported because I found a work around. How does
one do that in the beta program?

lw1001,
Bugs can be filed in the public bug base at

A possible *bug* in java jcombobox

Hi all,
I think i found a possible bug in java jcombobox .. i am sure some of you must have already experienced it..
supposedly you put a jcombobox in a jpanel
returned the panel from a method to a calling method..
and that method adds it to another panel that it had created to a frame..
and if this happens dynamicaly at runtime, as only after u click a button..
meaning : without adding the combobox or the immediate parent panelto the contentpane .. directly..
Then,
your combox's keylistener may not catch events fired.
.. this has happened to me many times.. and always i could only find a way out
.. by adding the combobox to panel that is loaded during startup itself and is
.. not returned through a method call.
Your opinions please ?
'Harish.

All components in a UI are created at run-time.
When you create your JFrame you call pack() to align and resize the UI. This validates all the components, and sets the default focus on what ever component should have the focus at start up.
When you create components and add them as children of another component you have to validate the child and parent. This can be done by calling JComponent.validate()
As for keylisteners not getting called, this might be fixed if you call grabFocus on the new combobox. I can't see a reason why any listener would stop working.
For me to really understand what your talking about. I'd need to see source code reproducing this problem.

Add VM to a Port Mirroring Session

I need every VM added to a given folder in vCenter to be added to an existing distributed switch port mirroring session. Is this possible using PowerCLI?

The following will add the VM ($vmName) to a specific port mirroring session ($mirrorSessionName) on a distributed switch ($dvSwName).
You can define the traffic direction(s) for which the VM needs to be added with the variables $Ingress and $Egress.
Note that there isn't any error checking in the script.
For example if the mirror session does not exist, the script will fail without an informative messages.
To repeat this script for all VMs in a specific folder should be not too difficult, I assume ?
$dvSwName = 'dvSw1'
$mirrorSessionName = 'Test'
$vmName = 'VM2'
$Ingress = $false
$Egress = $true
$dvSw = Get-VDSwitch -Name $dvSwName
$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName
$vmNic = $vm.ExtensionData.Config.Hardware.Device |
    where{$_.Backing -is [VMware.Vim.VirtualEthernetCardDistributedVirtualPortBackingInfo]}
$spec = New-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSConfigSpec
foreach($mirrorSession in $dvSw.ExtensionData.Config.VspanSession){
    if($mirrorSession.Name -eq $mirrorSessionName){
        $vspan = New-Object VMware.Vim.VMwareDVSVspanConfigSpec
        $vspan.Operation = [VMware.Vim.ConfigSpecOperation]::edit
        $vmInRc = $mirrorSession.SourcePortReceived | where{$_.PortKey -contains $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey}
        if($Ingress -and !$vmInRc){
            $mirrorSession.SourcePortReceived.PortKey += $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey
        $vmInTx = $mirrorSession.SourcePortTRansmitted | where{$_.PortKey -contains $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey}
        if($Egress -and !$vmInTx){
            $mirrorSession.SourcePortTransmitted.PortKey += $vmNic.Backing.Port.PortKey
        $vspan.vspanSession = $mirrorSession
        $spec.vspanConfigSpec += $vspan
$spec.ConfigVersion = $dvSw.ExtensionData.Config.ConfigVersion
$dvSw.ExtensionData.ReconfigureDvs($spec)

Port mirroring with ALOT of Drops Tx on a 5406zl

Hi everybody.
My first post here and I'm convinced that the questions I have will be easily answered by several of the true experts that reside here in the forum.
Question #1.
I've set up port mirroring this way on my HP procurve J8697A Switch 5406zl (Software revision K.15.12.0015)
sw-dh-1(config)# show monitor 1
Network Monitoring
   Session: 4    Session Name:
      Mirror Destination: B13   (Port)
      Monitoring Sources Direction Truncation Mirror Policy
      Port: F1            Both       No         -
      Port: F2            Both       No         -
      Port: F3            Both       No         -
      sw-dh-1# show monitor 2
Network Monitoring
   Session: 3    Session Name:
      Mirror Destination: A6    (Port)
      Monitoring Sources Direction Truncation Mirror Policy
      Port: A7            Both       No         -
      Port: B6            Both       No         -
      Port: B10           Both       No         -
      Port: Trk5          Both       No         -
      Port: Trk9          Both       No         -
      Port: Trk11         Both       No         -
See output of "show interface" below. I'm worried about "Drop Tx". What does that mean exactly? Are mirrored packets dropped or does this mean that the ordinary traffic on the monitoring ports are also affected? If yes, how? Data loss, resending packets, loss of speed, high CPU load on the switch?

Utilzation and total last 5 minutes is off since I turned the mirroring off when I saw the drops. Utilization when port mirroring was on was 20-35%.
Question #2:
Is it better if I mirror out all traffic to the 10GB port instead? Assuming that it is possible to do port mirroring to the 10GB port?
best regards,
Dean Y

You don;t indicate which router you have, but that doesn;t really matter.Neither the Actiontec MI424-WR or the Quantum G1100 have port mirroring.  You need qan old fashioned hub, or a managed switch that supports it.

Port mirroring in routers

Hi,
Port mirroring(SPAN) is possible in Switches, let me know if there is any sorts of feature implemented in Routers...
Cheers
Akhtar

Cisco has added a new feature that supports mirroring traffic on a router called IP traffic export. You need to run IOS version 12.3(4)T or later.

Network Drive Mapping for users who have Port 445 (possibly others) Blocked by their ISP to a Server 2008 system

Nice to see my original posts are still up. I was hoping that in the ensuing time someone had found a solution. At least I can now see many other posting the same problems. :) Thought I was losing it for a while.
We have 100% proven that the problem (in our case) is from the ISP blocking port 445 (possibly others but 445 for SURE) with the reasoning that it prevents the spread of some Internet "worms". It also just happens to prevent people who work
from home from being able to map to their network drives at work.
What I was hoping was that eventually someone would comer up with a solution for this short of having to load a server using a different OS from Windows. The SMB protocol is the one needing port 445 as far as I can tell. Not all ISP block
port 445 and the laptops that use those ISP's have no problem. Unless they travel.  Then it is "hit or miss" as to whether the ISP for the Hotel they stay at blocks it.
I have run multiple tests to prove that this was in FACT the problem. Even the particular ISP in question which is a very large national ISP company freely admits they do this supposedly to prevent the spread of an unnamed Internet Worm. It also
happens to prevent Business use of their Internet by Home Subscribers at they cannot map to their Business Servers which also need port 445 to map.
I have used WebDAV successfully to get around this but at a huge loss of speed and performance. Cloud services all do essentially the same thing and all have pretty much the same loss of speed.
If anyone has come across a method of allowing a drive mapping to be rerouted to any other port, that is the only hope I have short of changing to an alternate OS for the Office Server and even then I cant be sure until I try if it would help. I read
somewhere about the possibility of routing through a proxy but again, the problem would still be that the requests for mapping are expected on port 445 on the server and they will not get through even to the proxy since the originating ISP is the one blocking
the port from the User's system.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated I have posted this question now for several years with no one yet providing a working solution. Hope burns Eternal though :)

Yes, OwnCloud is an option as well as many others. Even self hosted Cloud services such as the WD MyCloud all work. The problem is speed. JungleDisk is the best I have found so far. I am not sure exactly what they use to allow the
drive mapping but it seems to work faster that anything else I have found.
VPN's don't work. At least none of them I have tried. I can connect a VPN with no problem. But still cannot map a drive over it.   Actually, there are some issues with the VPN as well but these are just a matter of methodology.
Mapping to the FQDN works for some people while others require the public IP. Some users on some ISP's can map using the FQDN, others have to map to the IP. That in itself was a bit odd.
I have tried every trick I could find including adding the IP and/or FQDN to the Windows Hosts file on the server as well as on the client systems. This actually did help to get the VPN to connect in some cases. However, it still would
not allow me to map a drive letter.
I can create a Network Place, This also works. But it will not allow me to MAP that "network place" to a drive letter. I have tried multiple utilities that allow mapping of Drive letters to almost anything but they wont work to map to a
Network Place.
The software that needs the mapped drive is a SQL database which runs on port 2004. The program itself has no problems at all connecting to the server to run the database. Even on systems which cannot map to the needed drive letter for the documents
referred to in the database.   Users can run it and look up all kinds of material but it it is only a half-solution since the database refers to files stored in a "common-mapped" drive letter. Which I cannot Map.
I have tried every possible configuration of the VPN setup I could find, I have even tried a "Test System" with the NIC connected directly to the T1 Modem. With all firewalls off and no AV software. Even if that had worked, there is no
way I could run like that. But it didn't. Same issues. All this did was put the blame squarely on the User's ISP which was the only reason I did it. I had to rule out even the slightest chance that it was something in our equipment.
This was already almost a certain fact since the same user could take their laptop to a WiFi Hotspot at a fast food restaurant and connect as well as map the drive. As soon as they went back home, no drive. On the ones I could convince to pay
the extra charges, if they switched to a business connection from their ISP, No Problems.
On most MiFi or other Cellular Internet devices, No Problem, Although that had a habit of changing. We had a few that worked for a while, then they got a software update for their MiFi which immediately blocked the ability to map. Others
it would be that some models of Cellular HotSpot units worked while other would not work even if both came from the same carrier.
Coincidentally, we had none of these problems before two other events occurred:
One was the release of Server 2008 R2, (which was a kid of "surprise" change for all of us used to Server 2008 R1. Welcomed changes, but not expected with a simple SP release.
The other was IPV6 finally became a reality: June of 2012.
This left us with much head scratching as to what was the real cause of the problem. It took months to narrow it down to port blocking by the Outside ISP's with a 100% certainty. Even tried reloading a system with Server 2008 R1 just to rule
that out. As well as disabling IPV6 on every network device. The problem stayed with the User when Outside and which ISP they were connected to.
Currently we are using a mix of normal VPNs for those who can run them, and CLOUD access for those who can't. Even this is problematic since we have to keep both the local copy and the cloud copy in constant sync so that everyone sees the same versions
of the same files on each one.
Sorry to make this so long but I wanted to cover everything to show that we tried it all. The only thing left short of getting the ISP's to remove the port blocks would be to find a way to route the SMB file requests around port 445 in some way.
I have been told that this is easy enough if using a file system other than Windows but that is not an option even if true.
Thanks for the updates and ideas. I keep hoping that eventually there will be some secure method for mapping a drive letter that does not depend on having port 445.

Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?

Are you aware of a possible bug in version 3.6.23? In the browser, for example, "two/" appears with the slash through the "o". Is this a known bug?
When the same text is view in another browsers it appears correctly as "two/".
I've checked, and the same problem appears in Firefox on another computer.
The two answers received so far have not provided an answer: is this a known bug in Firefox?
Thank you.

You are on a Mac and that is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning kerning] problem. Don't you see the same problem in other applications if you choose the same font, font-weight and font-size.
I only find one other kerning [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/789254 question] here -- it is marked unsolved. I find it strange that Firefox got involved with this at all rather than leaving such things to the operating system and font metrics.
Does the problem go away with "command+0" (zero) which resets [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages zoom level] to normal. If you mess with the font sizes in your preferences because you want larger print that would have the same effect.
Also found this one recently reported for [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/892222 Firefox 7 in ubuntu 11.04] which appears much worse. If it involves Firefox and specific operating systems it becomes a lot harder to diagnose who or what is responsible.

Possible bug with iTunes 11 ?? (with Smart Playlists)

Hi folks
New to Apple Support, but after upgrading to iTunes 11 earlier today (on my Mac Mini) I've discovered a potential bug / difference in the way it operates compared to earlier versions. Can someone else try something similar and see if they get the same result - I think I read somewhere that v11 is not available on Windows yet, so I cant compare what happens there
I've imported all our CD's into iTunes, and we've set up several Smart Playlists (SP). Using the Rating setting for the songs, we can break them up into groups, eg
Rating 0 = not yet processed
Rating 1 = not interested in listening to again
Rating 2 = kids songs (for our children)
Rating 3 = christmas songs
Rating 4 = songs i like, but my wife probably wouldnt
Rating 5 = songs we both like - good for background music etc
Using Home Sharing to our iPad's rocks !!
Now, onto the bug.
Using the SP that has just songs with Rating 0, I could play any song, set the Rating to whatever, and naturally once set, that disappears from the SP
In all earlier versions of iTunes, playback would continue with the next song, so I could set that Rating, etc etc. Worked really well to churn through a chunk of songs in say 15 minute blocks
With iTunes v11, playback stops as soon as I set the Rating.
How can you help ?????????? Set up a smart playlist with whatever criteria you like - make sure you have a number of songs returned and ensure Live Updating is set, have a song playing, and make that song no longer valid for that SP. Anyone doing this in earlier versions of iTunes should have the next song begin, and if this is a bug, then those using iTunes 11 will have playback stop
Sorry for the long post, but in order to determine a potential bug, you need to describe the situation and how to test it.
Thanks for reading
PS I'm on a 2010 Mac Mini with OSX v10.7.x (whatever the current release of that is) and just upgraded to iTunes 11

Soo, maybe it isnt possible bug, but the way Apple have changed iTunes when going to v11. Stooopid
Anyway, found this link about downgrading to an earlier version. I've just completed it and found one or two "errors" in the method, which I'll detail below
http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
In the latter part of the instructions
11) Open your iTunes Music Folder.
If you never moved your iTunes folder it’s located here:
Your HD/Your User/Music/iTunes
Or go to the Finder type: Command + Shift + G
Paste this into the the dialog: ~/Music/iTunes
If you moved it to another hard drive, you will know where to locate your iTunes folder.
12) Open the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder.
13) Find the most recent copy of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” file.
Normally it will the last file at the bottom of the list.
14) Drag a copy of the file into the iTunes folder.
15) Delete the “iTunes Library” file.
16) Change the name of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” to ”iTunes Library” with no .itl extension.
In #11, I simply went to "My HD"/Users/"My User"/Music/iTunes
Copied the latest .itl and moved it up a directory level
The old file in #15 is called "iTunes Library.itl" - which I renamed, and renamed the copied version back to "iTunes Library.itl" = though I do have extensions showing, some people may not and hence wont see the .itl
Anyway all is fixed in my world, and when I launched v10.7, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to v11 - I said No and not to prompt me again. Playcount issue is resulved, as is changing SmartList criteria with playback continuing
Apple - please correct these bugs before releasing any new versions of iTunes... you've made a very large number of people unhappy
