Wahoo Macy's CLI

So after many months...I finally got a CLI from Macy's. Went from $600 to $1,000. I asked for $1,500 and they countered with $1,000. I'll take it! Wanted to ask about the furniture account before it goes away but decided not to since they couldnt give me the CLI i asked for on the regular card...figured it would be a no...I'll take anything right now to avoid apping for new cards! Happy 4th everyone!

It is? Hmmm...I may do that. I got the CLI using chat, can I inquire on the club acct using chat too? The only reason I didn't at first was since I was countered with the CLI , I didn't think I'd be approved for anything else...hmm maybe worth a shot?You'll get it. My Macy's store card CL is only $1000 and I was approved. They will counter for the other accounts too.

Macy's and Bloomingdale's cli success

I have had my Macy's and Bloomingdales card since April 2015. My scores at the time were 590. My scores have increased too 635 on experian. I decided to try for an increase and went from 300 to 1000 on my Macy's and 800 to 1200 on my Bloomingdales. I asked for 2000 on each and they countered with that. How often should I request a cli?

Macy's and Bloomingdales cli question

I have a Macy's and Bloomingdales account that I want to do cli. My question is how should go about the special events account. I was reading somewhere that there were only combining the balances not the limit and you need to have used the new account in 24 months.

Call and ask for a cli on both then ask for a special events account. Tell them you want to buy a mattress or furniture. If you haven't used the special events account with a minimum $500 purchase the limit will not merge.

Macy's and Bloomingdale's CLI and Special Events Approval!

After hearing about the generosity of Macy's and Bloomingdale's, I decided to give it a go. I called Bloomingdale's first, hadn't had an increase yet asked to go from $800 to $2,000.They approved for $2,000, should have asked for more.......Then I asked for a Special Events Account and got $5,000 Next up, Macy's went from $600 to $1,000, go figure.........Then asked for the same Events Account and got another $5,000............WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!Love this garden thing. You guys are amazing! Never would have known.Looking forward to those combined limits in a few months!

Are mattress and furniture purchases considered special event or major purchases? I bought a mattress Monday on what was called a type 32 account in which I was approved for $5800. The mattress was $1280. That would be terrible if they add the $1280 to my revolving limit and drastically raise my utilization. Macy's is known to be aggressive when it comes to getting people in the store and pushing them to use credit cards in order to get discounts. Anyone have inside scoop as to why this change is better for them. So next month you have to call credit on all major purchases instead of having a preapproved limit. Why????Mattresses and furniture can be considered a special event purchase if there is a financing offer going on. I used my SE account to purchase my mattress during the current event. I wouldn't have known the difference if I hadn't talked to a CSR prior to the purchase. I was going to buy a set when they had the $1 box spring deal, but she told me I couldn''t used my SE account then and would have to wait to until June 12th. That's when the current event started. Thanks for taking the reigns on that. The reps are beginning to go through training on how to explain this very complex issue.

Macy's Amex now available with Chip

i just got off the chat with Macy's to verify my new limit I will have after merge of accounts next month . Rep said that my AU's along with me , would receive new Amex Cards with the Chip in it. My AU's where issued just a store card and a Amex for me. So now since they are doing away with the store card ( if you have Amex too) , they are issuingAU's a Amex. my combined limits will now be $16,500. I will try for a cli on all accounts in a couple 2 weeks.

Applied for Macy's Amex card in store and got approved for temp limit of $1000. Thought I should add the club account before they are done away with on July 18th. Got an instant approval on that too with the purchase of two watches. I am hoping the lines will merge after this date. I have read about major purchase account but I am not sure what this is. Are CLIs SP or HP? Any auto? Do you request every 6 months?It's not a temporary limit, it is your Macy's store limit. Call 1-800-477-2167 from 9-5 EST tomorrow to find out your Am Ex limit. The major purchase account is for furniture, mattresses and housewares over $500 total. Housewares I think is $400. Your Am Ex limit should be at least 3 times your store limit. One card that you can use outside of Macy's or in Macy's. The charges made outside of Macy's will be separated on your bill and reported as 2 separate accounts. One trade line for Macy's store, and one for Am Ex. You can go for an increase on the Macy's after about 3-4 months, or as the clerk told my wife, if $1000 isn't enough call customer service now.

Macy's Card Approval

I was supposed to be gardening (dang!) but the Macy's card was the last card I actually really wanted (only because at my lowest low in my credit journey, I was denied by them MORE than once) and today, I got it!
It's only a $600 limit (I've got scores around the 650's-730's, with about 4 baddies and a LOT of inq's, way more than I'm comfortable with, TBH, hence the gardening); should I try and call for a CLI or wait?
Thanks to everyone here for helping me turn my credit around

Congrats! I received the same limit when opening an account last month. I then opened up a couple of other lines with Macy's. Besides the $600 revolving I opened $1.4K Club and $5K Special Events. They will combine into a $7K total limit. There are still a lot of questions and conflicting info on how this will work starting in August. But message 61 in this thread gives a good summary if you are interested: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Macy-s-combined-credit-limits-maybe/m-p/4094749#M1152561

How can I stay on the same line when inputting values in the CLI?

The title is a bit vague i know :) but i have this issue which isn't really a problem but it would be better if I can solve it.
Intro)
I've made this simple addition (and more options but thats not relevant) application for kids in my spare time so that they can train their maths in school and compare their results with other students which is saved in the database using the hypersonic DB that comes with the JBoss application server.
Now so far so good, but i'm having an issue with the Scanner (I think, but i doubt its because of the CLI) , when i enter a number or text it works and exceptions will be catched etc but when i press the enter key without anything entered the input value wil be displayed a line below and that's not what I want. I want it to stay in the same line.
Sample CLI output:

Query help needed for querybuilder to use with lcm cli

Hi,
I had set up several queries to run with the lcm cli in order to back up personal folders, inboxes, etc. to lcmbiar files to use as backups. I have seen a few posts that are similar, but I have a specific question/concern.
I just recently had to reference one of these back ups only to find it was incomplete. Does the query used by the lcm cli also only pull the first 1000 rows? Is there a way to change this limit somwhere?
Also, since when importing this lcmbiar file for something 'generic' like 'all personal folders', pulls in WAY too much stuff, is there a better way to limit this? I am open to suggestions, but it would almost be better if I could create individual lcmbiar output files on a per user basis. This way, when/if I need to restore someone's personal folder contents, for example, I could find them by username and import just that lcmbiar file, as opposed to all 3000 of our users. I am not quite sure how to accomplish this...
Currently, with my limited windows scripting knowledge, I have set up a bat script to run each morning, that creates a 'runtime' properties file from a template, such that the lcmbiar file gets named uniquely for that day and its content. Then I call the lcm_cli using the proper command. The query within the properties file is currently very straightforward - select * from CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
To do what I want to do...
1) I'd first need a current list of usernames in a text file, that could be read (?) in and parsed to single out each user (remember we are talking about 3000) - not sure the best way to get this.
2) Then instead of just updating the the lcmbiar file name with a unique name as I do currently, I would also update the query (which would be different altogether): SELECT * from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_OWNER = '<username>' AND SI_ANCESTOR = 18.
In theory, that would grab everything owned by that user in their personal folder - right? and write it to its own lcmbiar file to a location I specify.
I just think chunking something like this is more effective and BO has no built in back up capability that already does this. We are on BO 4.0 SP7 right now, move to 4.1 SP4 over the summer.
Any thoughts on this would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Missy

Just wanted to pass along that SAP Support pointed me to KBA 1969259 which had some good example queries in it (they were helping me with a concern I had over the lcmbiar file output, not with query design). I was able to tweak one of the sample queries in this KBA to give me more of what I was after...
SELECT TOP 10000 static, relationships, SI_PARENT_FOLDER_CUID, SI_OWNER, SI_PATH FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS,CI_APPOBJECTS,CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE (DESCENDENTS ("si_name='Folder Hierarchy'","si_name='<username>'"))
This exports inboxes, personal folders, categories, and roles, which is more than I was after, but still necessary to back up.. so in a way, it is actually better because I have one lcmbiar file per user - contains all their 'personal' objects.
So between narrowing down my set of users to only those who actually have saved things to their personal folder and now having a query that actually returns what I expect it to return, along with the help below for a job to clean up these excessive amounts of promotion jobs I am now creating... I am all set!
Hopefully this can help someone else too!
Thanks,
missy

[SOLVED] Unable to boot after CLI shutdown

But the PC does not power off, it hangs at the last message and I had to press the power off button.
When I started the PC again I got plenty of errors of type “failed to mount /boot “, “Dependency failed for local file systems” and so on.
Then, I boot from CD and changed root to try to mount the existing partitions of my HD:
/dev/sda1 --> boot
/dev/sda2 --> swap
/dev/sda3 --> root
/dev/sda4 --> home
Partitions were successfully mounted
What I did next was to install again the bootloader (syslinux) and try to reboot the system
This time I got the following boot sequence:
Booting the kernel
:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
:: running hook [keymap]
:: Loading keymap...done.
:: performing fsck on ‘/dev/sda3’

ERROR: Root device mounted successfully, but /sbin/init does not exist.
Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.
sh: can’t access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs /] #
And the cursor gets stuck at the rootfs promtpt, no chance to type anything ...
I’ve googled for this error and came up with this link: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146388
But editing the kernel parameters as stated in the link did not fix my problem, it just brought me back to the situation where it failed to mount the local filesystems
I installed archlinux & KDE from scratch again . But performing a CLI shutdown got me into the very same problem again ....
I’ve revised the mkinitcpio.conf and I seem to have all the hooks (using the default config by the way). ¿Could be related to KDE?
No idea how to proceed now.
EDIT: corrected typos

ACS 5.4 How to change CLI password?

Anyone know how to change the ACS 5.4 CLI password?
I found the command "acs reset-password". But it seems to reset the GUI password instead of CLI password.
Thank you very much!

If you already know the current admin CLI password so to reset the password for the ACS CLI admin you'll have to use the "username" command.
Reference: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/cisco_secure_access_control_system/5.4/command/reference/cli_app_a.html#wp1896348
The DVD is used to reset the password in situations where the password has been lost/forgotten.

The Definitive Amex 3X CLI Guide

Note: while this was at one time the correct guide, recent changes in policy have changed. There will be updated information coming soon. One of the most popular topics of discussion on the forum is the American Express 3X CLI. Here is a small guide I put together to alleviate some misconceptions based on personal experiences and discussions here and other boards. Please feel free to suggest modifications or enhancements. Please don't copy/paste the information to other boards. Linking here is fine.
What is the 3X CLI?
=========================================================== American Express is one of the most sought after credit cards in the market. They are also typically one of more generous companies with respect to credit limits outside of the credit unions. For folks who do not qualify for NFCU and other credit unions known to issue high credit limits despite low FICO scores and or moderate credit history, the best way to get high(er) CLs is to first get accepted into American Express and then apply for an increased credit limit upto 3 times the existing approved limit after a certain minimum number of days have passed (discussed in details below). This really comes in handy when the initial approved limit is on the lower side (example $2,000) due to internal American Express risk score models, mostly for folks starting out in their credit journey or with other risky credit/income factors. After completing the "60" day magic number of the account being open and in good standing, one can request an increased credit limit upto 3X the initial limit starting with the 61st day, meaning someone who got approved for $2,000 could request that the new credit limit be $2,000 x 3 = $6,000, someone who got approved for $3,000 initially could request the new credit limit be $3,000 x 3 = $9,000 and so on.  Why is the 3X CLI Important?
=========================================================== Credit Utilization is one of the most important components of the FICO score (30% per official wording from FICO).Given the same amount of spending, with higher available credit, utilization is lower and hence FICO scores are higher. But more importantly this is a gateway to getting approved for other prime cards/rewards cards like Visa Signature, MasterCard World, points, cashback etc offered by various lenders like Chase, Citi, BoA, US Bank etc who typically issue them if they see an existing high limit card. Higher limits from one lender attracts higher limits from others up until the overall available credit reaches a certain threshold. No other lender is known to have a 3X CLI policy and that too as early as the 61st day. One may be able to procure a CLI from other lenders but typically it is a hard inquiry or sometimes flat out denial because the account is considered too new. Amex is the only lender that offers this. More recently though GEMB issued credit cards are also known to get generous increases (sometimes even > 3X initial limits) via a Soft Pull. This policy is relatively new but widely reported to be successful across different boards.  Is the 3X CLI automatic or guaranteed?
=========================================================== Most definitely not. The components factored into a CLI approval or denial are not published but widely accepted to be similar to the FICO models. Amex also asks for income and rent during the CLI request process. Other factors remaining same, chances of a CLI approval are higher if the account has always been in good standing e.g lower utilization, low risk spending patterns, on time payments etc. The 3X CLI request has to be manually initiated by the account holder after becoming eligible.
Will there be a hard inquiry when requesting 3X CLI?
===========================================================
Fortunately not. American Express initiates soft pulls on Experian throughout the life of an open account with random frequency. During the first 60 days, it is not uncommon for Amex to have soft pulled at least 3-4 times. The CLI approval or denial will be based on the last soft pull before the CLI request and other factors like income/rent etc. A new hard pull or soft pull is not initiated when requesting the 3X CLI. If in doubt, get a copy of your Experian report and see when Amex issued a soft pull to gauge account statistics at that snapshot and request CLI accordingly. Post 186 explains how to get your experian report and check for soft pulls. If there are concerns that the overall utilization or Amex utilization was high during the last soft pull, it might be worth waiting a few more days and then applying for CLI after Amex has issued a new soft pull.
When does an acccount become eligible for CLI?
=========================================================== Amex does NOT increase an account's credit limit during the first 60 days after it has been OPENED, or for at least 6 months from the last credit limit increase. The key word here is OPENED aka the account creation date. There are a few ways to find out the exact date the account was opened. a) Call the number on the back of the card and simply ask the friendly customer service rep. There is nothing to be worried about here or get nervous. You are not asking for a CLI to the rep, but simply the day the account was opened. This can be done during card activation itself or any point later. Some friendly CSRs will also calculate and mention the first eligible date for CLI (61st day since account opening). If they are not aware of the first eligible date, simply ask for account opening/creation date and calculate it yourself. b) "Date Opened" field on your Equifax or TransUnion credit report. Both EQ and TU report the account opened day and month accurately (Equifax started doing this recently). 3rd party credit pullers may or maynot pull the date opened field accurately, the official credit reports are the only reliable source. It is important to note that the year field in "Date Opened" is affected by your American Express Member Since date, so may not reflect the year the card was originally opened. The only downside is one has to wait for the card to report to EQ and TU first, but Amex is usually very prompt to report.
c) Before the first statement has been cut, the account opened date is reflected under the Recent Charges field next to the "Since". Example in this pic, the account opened date is Jan 08. The "Since" field changes every statement period as it starts tracking the spending for that statement, so it is a good idea to get the account open date information using this method as early as possible. Existing Amex card members with an online profile are at an advantage to use this method because any new approved cards show in the profile before the card has been delivered physically, displaying several key account details like the account open date, first statement closing date, last 5 digits of card etc. First time Amex card members should try to setup the online profile as early as possible after physically receiving the card(s) to take advantage of this method as the first statement can sometimes close very soon after receiving the card(s).
Example calculation of 1st eligibility date taking the above screenshot as an example (Account opened : 01/08/2013). The account will complete 60 days on March 9, 2013 based on the following calculations:
Number of days by January 31 : 23
Number of days by February 28 : 28
Number of days by March 9 : 9
Total days open by March 9 : 60 In this example the first eligible date for CLI is March 10, provided there have been no other CLIs for any other accounts in the last 6 months, as the 60 days are completed by March 9th,  A better and easier way to calculate Amex milestones has been explained in Post 227. Using the time and date calculator, we see the same result that we got from the manual calculation above.
How to request the CLI?
=========================================================== a) Calling the number on the back of the card. The number is unique to each credit product and is automated. Usually the option to request a credit limit increase is option #4 or #5, or if you are comfortable a CSR can take the application and let you know approval/denial once they submit. If you are denied, they may not be able to give the specific reason and you have to wait for an email or a letter in the mail outlining the reasons. b) Logging into your account. Click on "Profile and Preferences -> More Options -> Manage Credit Limit" under Account Management.  It is also available by clicking "Manage My Account"(Toggled to "HIDE ACCOUNT OPTIONS" in the pic below) next to the "Outstanding Balance/Available Credit" on main page    In both cases you want to request the new credit limit itself (e.g $6,000 if initial limit is $2,000). Don't calculate the increase ($6.000 - $2,000 = $4,000) yourself and mention it.
What happens if you are denied CLI?
=========================================================== If you jumped the gun before the 60 days/6 months rule, the reason for denial is considered ineligibility. If that is the case you can reapply after the original and correct 60day/6month timeline. You do not have to wait an additional 90 days, so the clock doesn't get reset. If you were eligible and got denied due to other factors, then you are ineligible to reapply for another 90 days since the denial date. If you get the message after requesting CLI, that a decision will be mailed within 7-10 days, it most likely means that the CLI has been denied. There is an outside chance that the letter that comes from Amex may ask for a signed 4506T in order to give further consideration to the CLI request(details below) but in 99% of the cases it is a letter outlining the reasons for denial. It also provides the true FICO score from the bureau that was used in the decision making process. Most of the time it is Experian FICO, but Amex is known to use EQ and or TU in rare circumstances. Sometimes the reason(s) for denial is also sent via email immediately after the CLI request in addition to the letter in mail. Update 06/23/2013 : Lately there have been reports of approvals in emails within a 24 hr period after initially getting the 7-10 day message. The 7-10 day message indicates manual review and there has been a report of successful partial CLI after talking to CSR post 7-10 day message as well in Post 182  Can you request 3X CLI again after 6 months since last CLI?
=========================================================== Absolutely. There have been lots of success stories where people have gone from $2,000 to $6,000 to $18,000 because their income and credit profile supported the increase request. It is generally tougher to get the full 3X CLI after 6 months on the same account since the first CLI however. Even if a 3X CLI is requested, Amex may counter offer a partial increase which you can choose to accept or refuse. It is a good idea to not short change yourself and ask for a partial increase from the beginning because Amex system is smart enough to offer and approve a partial CLI if eligible. Amex may request documentation to support a CLI to a CL above $25K, including a request for a 4506T. Accounts are not suspended, nothing is mandatory. They may ask for documents, and if you don't present them, they may deny the CLI. More details below.  Additional Documentation/4506T for certain CLI Requests
=========================================================== For certain CLI requests, Amex sends a letter requesting a signed 4506T from the card holder. Amex can then obtain tax return transcripts from IRS in order to verify income. Here is a sample tax return transcript which shows what kind of information can be obtained via a signed 4506T. A tax return transcript has far more details than just income and hence is considered very intrusive by many. If Amex does not receive the signed 4506T within 30 days from the date on the letter, then no further consideration is given to the CLI request and a letter of denial is sent. No CLI can be requested for 90 days from the date in the denial letter. Sending back the signed 4506T also doesn't guarantee a CLI approval as Amex will also evaluate the usual credit factors via soft pulls on Experian in addition to income verification. Income to overall credit available across all accounts(amex and non-amex) is one of the key factors for Amex Internal Risk Score. Lower risk score improves chances of getting approved for the CLI. The following often (but not always) are potential reasons why Amex asks for 4506T for a CLI request.  New requested credit limit exceeds $25,000 for that particular account.New requested credit limit would make overall credit extended across all Amex revolving accounts exceed $34,500 (post 123)High internal risk score due to income on file to overall credit across amex and non-amex accounts ratio being too low.Unusual/large/manufactured/risky spending patterns. It is important to note that this whole process,although inconvenient/complicated/intrusive, is different from the dreaded Amex Financial Review. During an Amex FR, all accounts are suspended and sending back the signed 4506T is mandatory in order to be considered for lifting the suspension. For business accounts, even more documentation is required during an FR. Also an FR can happen at any time and not necessarily after requesting an increase in credit limit.    Some generic Amex CLI Guidelines
=========================================================== Requesting CLI > 3X current limit results in automatic denial. Letter in the mail indicates that credit limit cannot be greater than three times the current limit. So American Amex credit limits are capped at 200% increase. Update: Requesting CLI > 3X no longer results in automatic denial. If the account is eligible for CLI, then new limit is counter offered keeping the 200% cap in effect(meaning CLI counter offered will not exceed 3X current limit under any scenario)Canadian Amex are capped at 50% increase every 6 months (Post 45)Minimum 6 month since last CLI rule applies across ALL accounts held by an individual and includes both personal & business accounts for the same person. So if CLI was successful on a personal account, no CLI can be approved on all other personal and business accounts for the same person for a period of 6 more months. (Posts 5 and 6 of the AmEx 61 day CLI result: 7-10 day written response thread)Credit limits can be moved between accounts only after the completion of 13 statements cycles on both the donor account. Post 170 explains how to move limits between Amex cards. Additionally limits cannot be moved between personal and business cards as mentioned in Post 171 Moving credit limits doesn't reset the 6 month clock and is a backdoor to receiving CLI on same account twice within 6 months (Post 128)"6 months" timeline used in context of this guide actually is 180 days to be more precise (not 6 calendar months)

Carrying Balance vs PIF & Other Utilization Factors=========================================================== This section is a work in progress.  To see how charge cards affect credit scores, please check Post 204Amex clearly dislikes carrying balance. Check Post 189 to see more details and the official reason for denial as "one or more payments received in the past 12 months on your american express account were too low given the outstanding balance and repayment history"          Change Log

Using CLI to enter Mac local list on 1200 Series

I have a number of 1200 series Ap's that are set up for MAC Authentication based on a local list only. From the GUI these addresses are entered from the Advanced Security Screen.
I wnt to find a method for entering them from the CLI but am running into a problem with the level 7 passwords that seem to be automaticly applied when the MAC addresses are added from the GUI.
If I enter MAC 0011.22aa.33ff from the GUI and then look at the config from the CLI it looks like this:
username xxx password xxxx
username xxxx autocommand exit
how do I do this from the CLI?

Hi,
I think if you need to enter lots of MAC Addresses into AP, the fastest way is to use CLI.
Refer to the following doc on how to configure MAC from CLI. Look under "Local Authenticator Access Point - Step 11"
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a0080341e72.html#wp1039558
If authentication is purely done via MAC, then you can do like the following example:
AP#config t
AP(config-radsrv)# user xxx password xxx group clerks mac-auth-only
Probably you need to use notepad to list all MAC (as username & password), then copy &paste to your AP's CLI.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,

Multi cam shoot using P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions

multi cam shoot using P2 cards. How to move clis to timecode positions. We were using free TC. I want to a large # of clips from both cams. and have them move to the correct TC position on the timline. In Nuendo eith audio u hit apple a or ctrl a right click move to orgin. Avid will take care of it for u. FCP???

If you read the "Apple Pro Training Sereis; Final Cut Pro 5" book, it's very easy. You can sync the clips manually by setting In or Out points, specifying TC, or using one of the two Aux TC fields. Since this is the first, and most basic step in doing Multiclip editing, I'd suggest you get the book, or read the appropriate section of the User Manual. I don't think anyone wants to post a full "how to" article in a forum.
It can be done, you're clips have to all have been recorded with synced TC, or they simply won't sync up in any NLE. Read the book. Cause even if I did have the time to explain FCP's Multiclip editing in this forum, you'd still have questions that are in the book.
If you actually walk through the first steps of building a Multiclip to edit, it's blatatnly obvious in the first step. I'd give it a try first.
Problem is the DVCPRO-HD codec is going to require a higher end Mac with tons of RAM and either RAID, or internal drives to do a DVCPRO-HD Multiclip, as DVCPRO-HD (P2) is a pretty high bandwidth codec. I use it daily, I know, it takes horsepower to do.

How to UPDATE ESX Server 3i, 3.5.0, build 207095 using SSH or VSphere CLI remotely!

Hello Guys,
Over the past few hours I have been posting related questions and I have gotten a little closer to updating my server/host.
I have gone to the ESX Server 3i updates (Embedded and Installer) and I have noticed that the first build for ESX 3i is 207095. Which means that I have not done any updates since the installation. CORRECT!
Now... I have been using "ESX Server 3 Patch Management guide, which instructs us to use esxupdate, but it appears that some of the command in that document is not supported on my host.
This post: vihostupdate35 | VMware vSphere Blog - VMware Blogs ..... Tells me that I will have to use "vihostupdate35" from a remote CLI which I installed but cannot see how to connect to the server as I cannot find any document that shows the syntax etc.
At this point I am confused and frustrated and just need a little more guidance from someone who could point me to a document or copy and past the procedures I need to use to get this update done.
I have downloaded this file to do the UPDATE: "ESXe350-201302401-O-SG.zip" and I have extracted it on the host on a Datastore and copied it to my "/Tmp/ESXi350" folder.
I have also extracted it there as well just in case I need to browse to the extracted folder, and run any command.
Can anyone out there help me with the correct SYNTAX and METHOD to get this update installed?
I can connect with SSH from a windows machine using puTTy.exe as well as I have VSphere CLI installed on another Windows PC and can browse to the "C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware vSphere CLI\bin" folder to run "vihostupdate35.pl" I can see it in the folder with a "dir" command:

CLI framerate and serial jobs on a cluster

Hello,
I have couple of questions for compressor (ver 4 )
1) Is there a way to specify framerate for image sequence using command line interface.
The compressor help lists the following but does not provide a way how such an option work. I tried few different ways in vain
-jobpath -- url to source file. -- In case of Image Sequence, URL should be a file URL pointing to directory with image sequence.
-- Additional parameters may be specified to set frameRate (e.g. frameRate=29.97) and audio file (e.g. audio=/usr/me/myaudiofile.mov).
2) I have a managed cluster with 8 nodes each running 4 instances. For some reason compressor only uses 6 instances spread across many nodes and not all 32.
3) Is there a way to specify and process just one job for a given cluster? This is equivalent of serialize option but it does not seem to be available.
Currently when I submit multiple jobs few of them run at once and create a havok on NFS mounts and fail. I can limit the job queue to one but that is not ideal.
I would appreciate any pointers.
Thanks
--Amit

Hi Amit, just saw your post. I assume you are passing the settings via the "-settingspath" <my_specific_job_settings_in_a_file_path_somwhere.settings" on the compressor command?
If so, it's a very simple matter to specify the frame rate etc etc on the VIDEO setting itself, save it and use it.
I don't recall that such "atomic settings" we're actually available in the v3 of compressor.app. I'll check later for v4. I'd be surprised if they are. :)
What I've done in the past is to simply make my own personalised settings (and destinations) up using the Compressor.app V4 UI (save as ... my name .. i.e. prores_noaudio_PAL" and path these file paths on the -settingspath" parm on the compressor cli. In your case I'd imagine a simple VIDEO setting for your frame rate and you're set!
Compressor.app v4 makes any of your own R.Y.O settings on your ~/library/application support/compressor/settings folder. You can copy or move or link these anywhere you like and pass these customised Parms to compressor cli as above.
I doubt also if these atomic settings are available as AppleScript properties, there's likely no vars like that there me thinks. . I recall the same ones exist as they do for the cli and now in compressor.app 4 they probably support Qmaster .. Yeah.. Compressor.app is apple scriptable.. It's not in the default list library so just add it...
Lastly as a guess these compressor ".setting" files are probably XML base.. So you might consider to tinker with one with an editor.
Anyway.. Try then"-settingspath" operand and see how u go.
2) the way Qmaster schedules across unmanaged transcode nodes is likely based on how busy each node is. You should be able to see if there is a pattern simply by looking on the Qmaster job controller.log .. See share monitor.app info or use console.app look on
your ~/library/application support/apple Qmaster/logs directory. There will be something in there.
Also have a look for any errors on the cluster services logs in case the services you expects to be there are actually not.
Are you using a managed cluster? Personally I have found this quite stable. Make sure u insure that those services are for managed climates only..
3) yes you can specify a specific cluster on the using the "-clusterid" operand. Should you have more than one managed cluster in the farm, this is a cool way to go. Also considering the "-priority" operand usage as well for hot jobs. Make sure all submissions are low priority... It's batch.. Works great!!
4) NDS mounts.. Well the simple rule is to keep them mounted on their own subnet, maker sure all destinations and sources are available to all hosts, set compressor options to copy to cluster only when ya must, and make sure the service time for NDS io READ Request is as fast as u can make it. ( jumbo frames, dedicated NICs and sinners and optimum fast read file systems... Keep other traffic away for it.. Works a treat!
Should you turn something up pleased at it here for others to see. I'm certainly interested.
Sorry for typos.. Just on MTR with iPhone on way home. :)
