What is the best way to add/delete a VLAN from a MST instance?

Over several switches? Is there a single command you can issue from the root switch that propagates the change?Thanks

No. Unfortunately there is no such mechanism defined by the MST spec. The manual configuration of the mst regions is actually the trick that makes the protocol relatively simple... but not very flexible I admit.
If you are running CatOS however there is a way to achieve this: VTP3 will take care of propagating the MST configuration along the VTP domain.
Else, you'll have to configure the switches one by one, which is going to be painful and will disturb your traffic.
You can take this opportunity to plan a little bit for the future. What you can do is create in the MST configuration more instances than you need and map evenly all the vlans to them.
Suppose you currently need 2 instances and 10 vlans and that you may require up to 10 instances in the future:
- create 10 instances by mapping 400 vlans to each (well, of course map the 10 vlans you currently use to the two instances you currently need).
- make sure that the vlans for the 8 instances you don't currently need are not created (here I mean not created in the VTP database).
Our MST code is optimized so that an instance is not run unless there is at least one vlan that is mapped to it and that is active on one port in the switch (the only exception is instance 0 that always exists.)
Thus, the current setup does not require more resources that if you only had configured two instances with 10 vlans. Now, if you need a new vlan in one of your two current instances, you have plenty to choose from. If you need some vlans with a different topology: just use one that is mapped to an usued instance. This way, you can at least quietly add/remove vlan without disrupting the traffic because you are not modifying the VTP configuration.
Hope this helps,
Francois

What is the best way to add text to an image

I used the draw ap div to add text to an image. will that cause any problems? If so, what is the best way to add text to an image? Thanks!

APDivs will kill your design unless you fully understand the css behind the scenes and plan accordingly. They really are completely unnecessary in the vast majority of situations.
An easy way to add "web text over an image" would be to use the background-image attribute in css for a standard <div> tag, then just add the text within that same <div>.
Something like this in the css (if you are using a 300x300 pixel image)...
#yourdiv {
     background-image:url(yourpic.jpg);
     width:300px;
     height:300px;
And then this in the html...
<div id="yourdiv">Your text here</div>
You would then position the <div> using css margins, floats and padding. Using position:absolute (APDivs) is typically something that will blow your design to pieces if the viewer changes their browser settings.

What is the best way to add hard disk space to macbook pro?

I'm running out of disk space on my macbook pro. What is the best way to add disk space?

another way of doing it is to replace your hard drive with a larger one.
if you're technically capable, it takes 10 minutes for the swap and an hour minimum to clone your hard drive or do a data transfer. all depends on how much data there is to trandfer or to clone.
good luck.

If you want to put up a confirm dialog before calling an action from
an
anchor it is done as follows.
Here is an example from code of mine that deletes a customer order,if
the
user confirms the delete. I pass the order id as a parameter.
- john
Here is the JavaScript -
function confirmDelete() {
if(confirm('Continue with order delete?'))
return true;
else
return false;
Here is a sample anchor tag -
<netui:anchor action="requestToDeleteOrder" onClick="return
confirmDelete(); return false;">
Delete
<netui:parameter name="orderId" value="{container.item.orderId}"/>

to call the action. I had hoped there was an easier way to do it.Rich,
the
reason I want to do this is because I want to call the JavaScript
function
confirm()
when a user clicks on a link (in a repeater/grid) to drop a record,I only
want
to call the drop action if the user confirms the drop. Maybe thereis a

way to do what I am trying to do??? I really appreciate any help

can

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from old imac to new imac. both have iphoto 9.2.1

What is the best way to transfer my iphoto library from current imac to my new imac. Both imacs have iphoto 9.2.1
os on old imac is 10.6.8. os on new imac is 10.7.2. I want the albums and events to stay intact. I have 4500 photos and 79 videos. 14.9 gb. looking for some advice here. Thanks so much.

Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML

What is the best way to create a database schema from XML?
i have a complex XML file that I want to create a database from and consistently import new XML files of the same schema type. Currently I have started off by mapping the XSD into Excel and using Mysql for Excel to push into MySQL.
There must be a more .net microsoft solution for this but I cannot locate the topic and tools by searching. What are the best tools and way to manage this?
Taking my C# further

Hi Saythj,
When mentioning "a database schema from XML", do you mean the
XML Schema Collections? If that is what you mean, when trying to import XML files of the same schema type, you may take the below approach.
Create an XML Schema Collection basing on your complex XML, you can find
many generating tools online to do that.
Create a Table with the above created schema typed XML column as below.
CREATE TABLE youTable( Col1 int, Col2 xml (yourXMLSchemaCollection))
Load your XML files and try to insert the xml content into the table above from C# or some other approaches. The XMLs that can't pass the validation fail inserting into that table.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

What is the best way to add external C++ code to LabView 6.1?

I have various C++ class-based DLL's written with Visual Studio 6.0 and wish
to create instances of these C++ classes and call their methods in LabView
6.1. What is the best way to do this?
It seems based on the little reading I have done that there are two choices:
1. Wrap the C++ class as a simple COM control and use LabView's COM based
VIs to create a COM object and access the methods of various interfaces.
2. Wrap the C++ class methods as C functions and a "constructor" and
"destructor" C function to create and destroy an instance of the class. Then
use LabView's DLL call support.
Which is best? What direction is LabView going to take that better supports
the notion of C++ class libraries?
Thanks,
Te

You could also try using a CIN. This is a tool that LabVIEW provides for interfacing with external code.
The CINTools libraries of LabVIEW allow you to embed compiled C code into a particular Virtual Instrument (VI) using a CIN.
In order for LabVIEW to be capable of calling compiled functions of C from a running VI, the code must be loaded and unloaded into memory at the same time as the VI code itself. LabVIEW uses object code in the form of a .lsb file which is generated by the C compiler from the C source code using the ntlvsbm.mak file. This ntlvsbm.mak file is included in the CINtools directory in the LabVIEW folder. You also must create another .mak file which includes parameter definitions for the ntlvsbm.mak file and also includes a call to the LabVIEW .mak file.
The generic documentation for CINs only explains how to use them to call C compiled code from a LabVIEW VI. It shows several development environments such as Visual C++, but in essence it only allows the user to create .lsb files out of plain C source code ( .c ) through C compilers on those environments.
The question now is how can I create .lsb files from C++ native source code using a C++ compiler. Furthermore, how can I create a .lsb file from several C++ source code files (.cpp) and make calls to C++ functions from a VI using CINs? The following explains how to do this:
1) Drop a Code Interface Node (from the Advanced Subpalette of the Functions Palette) into the LabVIEW VI. Make sure to wire the inputs.
2) Right-click on the CIN and choose "Create.c File...", then in the file dialog box specify a "name.cpp" file name. (very important: use .cpp extension)
3) Then create a name.mak makefile (text file) and add the following lines :
name=name_of_cpp_file_without_the_extension
type=CIN
cinlibraries=Kernel32.lib
CINTOOLSDIR=path_to_cintools_directory
!include <$(CINTOOLSDIR)\ntlvsb.mak>
4) Go into Visual C++ and File>Open and open the .mak file. You can even Add the name.cpp file to the project to make it easier to edit. Select that name.cpp or open it as a text file in NotePad or and edit the prototypes of the CIN MgErr functions as shown below, adding extern "C" at the beginning of the line. extern "C" CIN MgErr CINRun(float64 *INPUT);3) Select Build.exe to create the "name.lsb" file. To import the .lsb into LabVIEW, right-click on the CIN and choose "Load Code Resource...". Then, choose the name.lsb file and it is ready to run!
If you want to use several C++ source code files with .cpp extensions, then compile them in Visual C++ and link them to name.cpp and create a .lsb by modifying the name.mak as follows:
name=name_of_cpp_file_without_the_extension
otherobj=other_cpp_files_BUT_USING_.obj_extension
type=CIN
cinlibraries=Kernel32.lib
CINTOOLSDIR=path_to_cintools_directory
!include <$(CINTOOLSDIR)\ntlvsbm.mak>
It's worth a try? I have also heard of using clusters to represent classes, so you could check that out.

What is the best way to add "meta tags" in edge?

Trying to add meta tags for search engines, what are the best ways to do this?

With the latest version of Edge (3.0) is still the best practice to edit index.html or is there a better one?
Y try for example...
var meta1 = '<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />';
$(meta1).appendTo("head");
...in creationComplete or in document.compositionReady but I can't see these lines in index.html file, are stored in index_edgeActions.js file.
But maybe that works to attach the meta tags with append to head because it does work fine (and neither are saved in the index.html):
var favicon = "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/volicon.png' type='image/png'/>" ;
$(favicon).appendTo("head");
I don't know if Google detect meta tags stored in index_edgeAtions.js or is more recommended to modify index.html manually with notepad.
Maybe the best practice are save and publish Edge project with a name different than index (for example project.an and project.html) and to create an index.html manually with meta tags, code of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, etc., and with HTML meta http-equiv Attribute for to redirect immediately to project.html generate with Edge (remember disallow project.html in robots.txt). In this way is not necessary to modify the index.html file each time that we publish.

What is the best way to automatically delete user profiles after x days of inactivity (school lab environment)?

I work at a school where we have multiple Mac Carts that have 30 MacBooks per cart. We image the macs every summer to delete the older user profiles but we are looking for way to possible have this done automatically through out the year to help with HDD space. What is the best way to delete user profiles after...say 180 days.... of inactivity automatically? I am open to login hooks, bash scripts, etc. Anything to get the job done. Thanks for any help or advice.

A search here turned up this post Deleting inactive users
It appears that the script posted will do as advertised though I would test it out on your systems and under your conditions to see if it does do what you need.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - That script looks for users over 21 days. To look for ones over 180 days change the 21 to 180 in the find command.

What is the best way to add volume to my mix?

Hola,
I have a track which is very very low in volume, and there's a ton of automation data on a ton of tracks... And I am just wondering what is the best way to compensate for this? I read somewhere that Logic's gain plugin may actually be degrading sound quality due to it being restricted to a (unspecified) bit depth... Is there another gain plug-in or method to do this?
Or.. Is there a way to tell logic to raise each and every point of automation on each and every track by a specified db?
-patrick

Yeah. I think that's probably a much better way to
work.
Is there any problem adding a Free G plugin to OUT
1-2, and cranking that up until I have a good
signal?
-patrick
Hi Patrick,
Is the stereo mix the one that is not loud enough? When you play it through a different system it's too soft,but when you play it through your mix monitors it sounds loud enough?
I think if this is the case,you need to turn down your monitors,and turn up everything up inside Logic. I had a friend who did not understand monitoring,and had reeeeeeally expensive speakers,but no way to control their leve,so all his mixes ended up being -30 dB from maximum.they coul dnot be mastered,becasue when you add that much gain to a mix,you also bring the noise floor up byt that much,and you end up with a very hissy,messy,crappy,disgusting mix.
So,if I were you,I'd check my gain structure,and make sure you can control levels at every stage of the signal path,from mic to speakers.
Set your monitors to playback at about 80dB spl.Go to Radio Shack and invest in a SPL meter,they are not expensive,and are well worth it.
Cheers
