What happens when IDSM-2 performance is exceeded

Hi,
we have IDSM-2 with about 20 inline vlan pairs in test environment. What happens to inline traffic when we exceed declared throughput of 500 Mbps? Is traffic dropped or is it forwarded without IPS inspection.

If you exceed the monitoring capability of the sensor, then packets that can not be monitored will be dropped by the sensor.
NOTE: 500Mbps is not an absolute performance number for the sensor. It is a performance level that the sensor has been testeed to be able to handle for specific types of traffic used in the performance test. It is unknown exactly how much traffic the sensor will be able to handle for your network. The IDSM-2 will likely handle AROUND 500 Mbps is many and even most customer networks. However, networks do vary and in some networks it may handle quite a bit less traffic, and in other networks might handle even more.
So the question isn't what will happen if you send more than 500 Mbps, but rather what will happen if you send more of your traffic than what the sensor is able to monitor. And the answer is that any traffic that can not be monitored because of performance limitations will be dropped by the sensor.
The only time packets are forwarded without inspection is if sensorApp has stopped monitoring ALL packets (either a reconfiguration or upgrade is taking place, or the sensorApp process has crashed) AND the auot software bypass functionality has kicked in. In which case ALL packets would be forwarded without analysis.

What happens when cookie's capacity is exceeded

Hello
I have a small conceptual question. I use cookies to store values in my servlet and then use a .jsp page to retrieve values. Can you please tell me what happens when the size of my data in the cookie exceeds 4kb?
Thank you,

If you really need to associate data with the specific client longer than the session scope, then better store it all at the server side, in for example a database. Create a cookie at the client side with some unique identifier which is used as primary (or foreign) key of the DB so that you can get the associated data from the database whenever needed.

I have both the 250 gb high performance hard drive and a 1 ter byte hard drive. What happens when the 250 gb hardrive is full?

I have both the 250 gb high performance hard drive and a 1 ter byte hard drive. What happens when the 250 gb hardrive is full? This on Imac desktop

Never let a drive get more than 80% to 85% full.
AND keep 50-100 GB of free space on a startup drive to allow proper function of virtual memory in all OS X versions from 10.5x to current versions.
10.4x can get by with 20 GB of free space on the boot drive, but more is always better.
I try and keep all boot drives between 50 and 60% of capacity.
Beyond 60% and up to 90% capacity, seek times increase almost exponentially; performance suffers.

What happens when max job limit of few RAS server is reached?

Hi, I would like to know what happens when max job limit of server is reached. I know that we need to increase the job limit but my question is a bit different.
We have 7 RAS per servers. I got this message "The maximum report processing jobs limit configured by your system administrator has been reached" on 4 RAS servers but not all 7. I am tracking servers using PIDs on WIndows server 2003.
Does this means this is a warning that Job limit of 75 (in our case) has reached for 4 servers and for remaining 3 servers its still not reached. This means 3 servers are still able to handle more report request as they have not reached their max limit.
OR
This message means all of the servers have reached to their max limit and there is no more request which can be taken.
We are doing 3000 users performance testing on 21 RAS servers.
We are on BOXI R2 SP3 on IIS and opening crystal reports using .NET SDK.
Thanks,

This is same as my other question so I am closing this too. We have set limit as unlimited and during peak load we had almost balanced reports on all RAS.

What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?

I'm on my second iMac. My first one (G5, 1984) died, and I replaced it early 2010 with an Intel mac. The transition when exceedingly well largely due to Time Machine. I just hooked the Time Machine drive to the new system, and I was soon back up running!
My home folder has 70GB of data. The Macintosh drive has 105GB of data and 395GB free. The Time Machine drive has 220GB used and 30GB free.
1. What happens when the Time Machine drive is full?
2. Do I have control over what backups get deleted?
3. If lightning strikes twice, will I still be able to restore my Intel mac like my G5 mac, even if backups get deleted?
4. Is there anyway to control what backups/backup files get deleted?
5. Any other thoughts?
Thanks.

Do you mean all of them? The entire Backups.backupdb folder?
That's a large mess. First, even a normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of files. Your best bet by far is to simply erase them with Disk Utility -- that will only take a few moments. If your TM drive has a single partition, see #1 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html]. If there are other partition(s) on the drive, see #2 there.
If not, and you only deleted some of the folders, you have a different, worse problem. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks: +*Never move, change, or delete anything in your backups via the Finder or Terminal.+*
You shouldn't have to delete backups at all, since Time Machine will do that automatically when the disk/partition gets full. But you can do it without harm via Time Machine. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
A normal delete will take a very long time, as there are probably tens or hundreds of thousands of items, each of which must be individually deleted. A secure delete will take much, much longer, as each deleted file must be overwritten with zeros.

My iPOD classic (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what happens when the headphones come out. Any fix for this?

My iPOD class (last generation) shuts off when jostled--like what
happens when the headphones come out. Is there any fix for this?

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

What happens when we delete trillion records and issue a commit.

Q1. what happens when we delete trillion records and issue a commit and also is there any way to calculate that how much time this commit will take to complete the process?
Q2. how do interpret the oracle execution plan?
 cost, cardinality, rows, etc...

The timing of a Commit doesn't depend on the size of transaction.

I'm going through a book 'Troubleshooting Oracle Performance' written by Christian Antognini and I feel it contains very good explanation on such topics.

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

What Happens when u kill a backgroud process

What Happens when u kill a backgroud process?
such as kill- 9 ora_smon
Will the oracle automatically perform recovery???
will the database startup?

If you want to face what actually will happen, just make it on test environment (test db).
Then check your db status, instance will be abort.
Do you know what SMON`s purpose ?
If you_dont_know then
make it; (ps -ef | grep smon take PID, then kill -9 PID);
end if;
SMON - System Monitor process recovers after instance failure and monitors temporary segments and extents. SMON in a non-failed instance can also perform failed instance recovery for other failed RAC instance.

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

What happens when multiple users access the same servlet?

Do the users share all the same resources? Or is a new process generated for each user? I have a servlet that builds a string to return to the user and I only have myself to test, so I can't really see what happens when many users access the servlet. Is there a possibility that the string will get screwed up, like when dealing with multiple threads, or do all the users get their own resources and I don't have to worry about that?

huh? if you can point a test servlet at it, you can point a browser at it (even if the servlet does not serve html it will run)
try pasting the servlet URL into a web browser
refreshing multiple browsers repeatedly could provide a manual test

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID?

I want to change my Apple ID because I have a new email address, but what happens when someone tries to facetime me using my old Apple ID? Will they still be able to contact me on facetime using my old Apple ID?

Not if you change the ID. You would need to give them the new address.

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imac so I could install Windows 7 Home Premium and had no trouble everthing is working fine the only question I have is is there a benefit to migrating the 2 together and what happens when I do Thanks. Ricco

I recently downloaded Parallels 9 to my imack so I could install Windows 7 Home Premiumwith no problem and everthing is working fine, and I was thinking of Migrating the 2 2 and was wondering what benefits there would be and what happens when I do.

Windows 7 will peer down through the VM and remember what hardware the VM is installed on. Migrate the VM to different Mac hardware, and on first boot, Windows 7 will advise you that you are not using genuine Microsoft Windows. It will then treat you as though it believes you misappropriated it.

Time Machine backup created on Mac with a large hard disk. What happens when restore to MacBook Air with small SSD drive?

What if a Time Machine backup was created on a Mac with a large hard disk, e.g. 500GB iMac - and I buy a new MacBook Air with a small SSD hard disk e.g 128GB. What happens when I need to use the larger Time Machine file to set up the new MacBook Air? What happens to all those files that can't fit on the smaller SSD drive?

It is not the HD size, but rather the size of the data it contains. If you right-click your 500GB drive and select "Get Info" you can see how much is actually being used.
Naturally if you are using more space than the new drive has, then you have to make some choices about what you want to keep and what you want to keep archived.
I don't know what options are available but you may simply have to do a manual restore of files you want, in groups.

What happens when I restore data to a non-factory set iPhone?

Okay, another iCloud question. What I did was basically delete a game, start a new one, and now I want my old game back (saved to ICloud). What happens when I restore full data to a non-factory set iPhone? Will it overwrite current data? Will it delete everything? I just want to know, I'm such an iOS noob. :-/

A restore is all or nothing.
If a backup is restored to the device, ALL data currently on the device is wiped and replaced with the data from the backup.
Restoring a backup to get one saved game back seems rather extreme and silly.
