What is the difference between "FCAlias" & "Device-Alias"?

What are the main differences between FCAlias and Device-Alias?
I think Device-Alias is used in Enhanced Mode and for IVR? What about FCAlias when would you use them instead of Device-Alias?
Thanks.

FCaliases are used to associate 1 or more PWWNs to a user friendly name. FCaliases are VSAN specific, so if a device is moved from VSAN 1 to VSAN 2, you should delete the FCalias in VSAN 1 and create a new one in VSAN 2. FCalias will interoperate with some non-Cisco fibre channel switches. FCaliases are propagated via a zoneset activate (assuming the zoneset distrubute is set to full zoneset)
Device aliases associate 1 PWWN to a user friendly name. They are not vsan sepcific, and can be used for other features beside zoning. Device Aliases are configured manually in each switch, or can be propagated via Cisco Fabric Services...AKA CFS.
There is a Device Alias mode known as enhanced mode, which is not enabled unless configured. With enhanced mode device alias, if an HBA is associated with a device alias, and that device alias is placed into 20 zones, then that HBA fails and is replaced so the PWWN changes, you can edit the device alias database and that will push the new PWWN into the 20 zones automatically.
Without enhanced mode device alias, you would need to edit all 20 zones to use the new device alias, or the new PWWN in this example.
Hope this helps,
Mike

  • HT204074 whats the difference between managed devices and authorized computers

    What is the difference between the 10 managed devices and 5 authorized machines? What cant I do on the Unauthorized device that is a managed device?

    This is my understanding of it.
    Authorisation only applies to computers, not devices (iPads, iPhones, iPod Touches) - it allows you to play/use your iTunes downloads on that computer e.g. playing music, films etc., and to sync that content to a device. Up to 5 computers can be authorised at a time.
    Having a device associated (or managed) with your account, which can be up to 10 computers and devices (and as each associated computer must also be authorised to your account it means that at most 5 of the 10 can be computers) means that you've used iTunes Match, automatic downloads and/or re-downloaded past purchases on them. Once a device or computer is associated to an account it will be tied to that account for 90 days. You can still sync content to a device without it being on the associated list.
    A managed computer must also be an authorised computer, so you can't have one that is unauthorised but associated.

  • What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password?  I am locked out of my phone.

    What is the difference between the passcode on my iPhone 5 and a password?  I am locked out of my phone.

    Not entirely sure what you are asking, but a passcode to unlock an iOS device is normally 4 digits long (so is a 4 digit code), though you can make it alphanumeric and longer (so effectively becomes a password).
    If you don't know the passcode to unlock your phone or it's showing the disabled screen then there are instructions on this page for how to reset a device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 - you should then be able to restore/resync your content to it.

  • HT201342 What is the difference between an @me email and an @icloud email address?

    What is the difference between using an @me email address for iCloud and the new option of an @icloud email address offered?

    The @icloud address operates like an alias to your @me address.  Any email sent to either your @me or @icloud address is routed to your current @me inbox.  It's just another address that you can use as an alternative to your @me address if you want.

  • What's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification?

    A friend has been bugging me about this, does anyone know what's the difference between "local reminder" and "push notification" in an iPhone app?

    In a nutshell, local notifications are popup notifications from applications on your phone, based on data that's already on the local phone.  Push notifications are popup notifications you get when new info (like an email, tweet, or update from something like Facebook) gets pushed to your device from a server. 

  • What's the difference between jsp and jsf?

    who can tell me what's the difference between jsp and jsf?
    I'm puzzled when I found some of the technology in jsp is so similar to the ones in jsp( javaserver page)

    Hi,
    Find the difference between JSP and JSF
    1. A developer has more control with JSP, but (should) get easier development with JSF
    2. Event handling is done differently in JSP (HTTP) and JSF (Java)
    3. The UI is designed differently (or should be at least) with JSP (markup) and JSF (components).
    4. The end product should also be defined differently - JSP page versus a JSF application.
    Is this the only thing that is need to make a decision for either or? Probably not. There are other pieces that need to be taken in account when deciding which technology to use - tools support, enough components, type of application etc.... At this point there are not enough JSF components (although there are some interesting projects underway - Ajaxfaces, Myfaces, ADF Faces, and WebChart 3d) and enterprise tools support is still limited to a few tools vendor. Looking at our ADF Faces components they are currently available as early access (not production) and demands for these components are stacking up, literally, outside my office doorstep. Although I would love to make them production - now! - it is not a viable solution since we are still checking features and fixing critical bugs.
    All this combined - not enough enterprise level components in production, lacking tools support etc... - leave customers in a vacuum where the decision is either to continue with JSP, since it is mature and has a wide developer base, or move forward with JSF not sure if the support, or the developers will be there. This is particularly sensitive to customers that need to get started now and be production by summer.
    If you are in this vacuum here are some key points promoting JSF:
    1. Fundamental unit is the Component
    2. Built in event and state management
    3. Component sets can be provided by any vendor
    4. Closer to ASP.Net or Swing development
    5. Choice of UI technology
    6. Scale up (rich clients)
    7. Scale down (mobile devices)
    8. Built into J2EE containers in J2EE 5.0 (tentative)

    iPad apps are designed specifically for the iPad and will not run on the iPhone or iPod Touch. iPhone/iPod apps will run on the iPad, but will only take up an iPhone sized portion of the iPad screen (though you get a 2x button which effectively doubles each pixel in both directions so may appear pixelated). There are also 'universal' apps (which have a '+' symbol against them in the store) which have processing in them to recognise the device that they are on and will tailor the display accordingly (so will make use of the iPad's larger screen).

  • What is the difference between PSE 8 and 9

    I was wondering what is the difference between PSE 8 and 9 and are the enhancements worth upgrading to PSE 9?

    iOS is the operating system for mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, and iPods), as well as AppleTV. Mavericks is the current operating system for Macs (laptops and desktop computers). Yosemite is its newest iteration, currently in beta and due for release in the next few weeks.
    If you are looking for something more specific concerning functionality, you will have to be more specific with your question.

  • What's The Difference Between Passcodes

    Passcodes - what's the difference between the Passcode that I'd use to open my iPad Retina and the Passcode I use for restrictions?
    I can quite easily open my retina by entering a four digit Passcode. However, when I go to the likes of restrictions and enter the same Passcode it doesn't work. I've tried other four digit Passwords that I use regularly but none of these seem to work.
    At the moment I have no desperate need to alter my restrictions and I will be near an Apple Store within the next two weeks, is this something an Apple Genuis could solve for me? Maybe you guys can offer some advice
    Kevin

    They are different passcodes that are set apart from each other and as such are usually different from each other.
    They are unrelated for the most part.
    If you don't remember setting the restrictions passcode you will have to restore the device as new. If you have a backup you can restore from the backup as long as it was made before the restrictions passcode was put in place.
    The only thing an Apple store can do for you, is restore the device to factory condition.

    What is the difference between the Intel HD Graphics 5000 and the Intel Iris Pro Graphics in  the current iMacs?

    I am assuming you are talking about PPC Macs? Those haven't been manufactured or sold in years (since early 2006 I believe) when Apple started using Intel processors. There are still some apps which run on PPC code only which makes them incompatible with the last three Mac operating systems.
    There are different Applecare products depending on which Mac product you buy, although the coverage is about the same (except for iOS devices).

  • HT1600 what's the difference between apple tv and apple tv2?

    What is the difference between apple tv and apple tv 2?
    How do I get videos on my Ipad to play on my Apple TV?  I tried Airplay and only vocal comes over. 

    Thanks!  Yea, I'm leaning that way and from everything I've read the 'biggest' benefit would be Airplay - and the 5:1 surround in my gameroom (or the 7:1 surround in my screening room).  I don't stream movies - I'm more of a blu ray collector and watch movies that way - so in all probability I wouldn't use Apple TV in the screening room - but there are several other locations where it could be a nice addition.
    I do watch some TV shows on my iPAD, and lots of music videos - so perhaps, with Airplay they'll look/sound even better if I push that content to one of the other big screens.
    For the most part - whenever I wanted to watch something from my iPad on the big screen, I just connected it to my A/V receiver - pressed play, and enjoyed.  Apple TV would now become that device that's connected to my A/V receiver, and the iPad more of a remote - uncabled.
    Again - thanks for the reply; it's proven very helpful.
    Cheers.

    What is the difference between iPhone 5 trade in through the mail and in the store? If you trade it in the store, do you get the 200$ gift card right away?

        danamd89,
    Great question. We can understand wanting to get your money right away. If you go into the store and you trade in your iPhone and purchase a new iPhone that is in stock you will receive the gift card immediately. If you do it online before 9/30 you will have to ship the device after you receive your new iPhone and then you will get a gift card in 4-6 weeks.

  • What's the difference between the TVSU and TVUR+TI?

    What's the difference between the TVSU and TVUR?
    I got 3 critical, 17 recommand and 23 optional updates, when I use TVSU.
    But I got 2 critical, 17 recommand and 19 optional updates, when I use TVUR combined with ThinInstaller.
    It seens missing 1 critical update and couple optional updates.
    Also, my bluetooth led indicator is off all the time, no matter my bluetooth is on or not.
    Because the led indicator is off when my bluetooth connected and transmited files to other BT device. 
    I am 100% sure the led indicator is off when the bluetooth is on.
    I got this fixed when I use TVSU. It fixed it automatically.
    But now, I can't fix it.

  • What's the difference between "login block-for X attempts X within X" and "security authentication failure rate X"?

    What's the difference between, just for example, "login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100" and "security authentication failure rate 3"?
    Please ignore the numbers, I need to know what the differences are in commands and what they do, what they affect.

    security authentication failure rate number_of_failed_attempts : A global configuration mode command used to specify the maximum number of failed attempts (in the range of 2 to 1024) before introducing a 15-second delay
    login block-for 100 attempts 15 within 100 : Block all access after 15 failed login attempts within 100 Secs for the period of 100Secounds (1.40 Minutes).
    The Cisco IOS Login Enhancements (Login Block) feature allows users to enhance the security of a router by configuring options to automatically block further login attempts when a possible denial-of-service (DoS) attack is detected.
    The login block and login delay options introduced by this feature can be configured for Telnet or SSH virtual connections. By enabling this feature, you can slow down "dictionary attacks" by enforcing a "quiet period" if multiple failed connection attempts are detected, thereby protecting the routing device from a type of denial-of-service attack.
