DCB - Force10 MXL and Equallogic PS6210 - worth it or not?
Hello all
I have a new 3-blade M620 virtualization environment, 2 x MXL Force10 switches and 2 x Equallogic PS6210 - there is the possibility of using DCB - is it useful to configure DCB, will I get the gains and better stability, or for a small environment should I just use the configuration standard iscsi?
Ideas or alternative options gratefully received.
Thank you
Hello
If the switches are dedicated for iSCSI use, then there is no advantage to the use of DCB. DCB in itself does not have iSCSI faster. I just made sure non-iSCSI traffic doesn't interfere by providing iSCSI with a higher priority. All other traffic is going in a "lossy" class of service.
Also, you will need DCB converged network adapters to use BCD on the hosts. Most of the iSCSI software adapters do not support DCB.
Kind regards

Force10 MXL and blades - mapping of Interfaces
Hello
I know it's a recurring topic but I am facing a strange problem in the last M1000e chassis that I was sent.
According to: mapping is very clear. For example, the first interface of the first plank must be connected via the Midplane to te0/1 (first in the IOM1 interface), but when I set up the battery of the A2 Force10 MXL (just a pile between A1 and A2) became the master so I changed the priorities to ensure that A1 is the master. Once this is done, I realized that the first interface of the first blade was linked to the Te1/1, the first IOM2 interface. Is it possible to change this? I have several chassis and I want to set all the same way...
Thank you!
What servers are used? Just to be clear, while MXL in A2 was the master, the LOM 1 port connected to 0/1 and the LOM 2 port connected to 1/1? Then when you changed a switch to A1, now port 1 shows that 1/1 LOM and LOM 2 port connected to 0/1?
The ports are all physically defined by the M1000e chassis.
Have you tried:
-unstacking switches
-Can ensure that ports appear correctly so that not stacked.
-Set the priority and then put.
-Check the enumeration. -
Then a Force10 MXL blade handle no FCoE traffic?
Hello. I inherit a M1000e with few blades of the Force10 MXL switch installed. The chassis has no other 10GBASE-T switches. Since I have no plans on using FCoE, a Force10 MXL can be used for standard Ethernet (non-FCoE) traffic? Or do I have to buy another switch?
Thank you.
Absolutely, to see the second page of the data sheet. It contains additional information about the available modules, how internal traffic is manipulated and external.
The manuals are a great place to start. There is that a starter guide to help set up initial, and then a CLI and user guide to help configure additional features.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Connect to Force10 MXL N4032 using cables QSFP + DA 40 G
Hello
I'm trying to connect a N4032 switch to a switch chassis Force10 MXL using QSFP + modules and a DA 40 G cable. Now, the problem I have is that when I plug the cable 40G QSFP DA I don't have a link, both switches show that the QSFP + optical has been inserted, and that the perspective is supported on two models of switches.
The MXL is on the firmware 9.8.0.0 and the N4032 on 6.2.1.6.
QSFP map show slot on the show N4032 command:

TE1/1/1 active 10G full detach turn off s/o
TE1/1/2 Active 10 G full detach turn off s/o
TE1/1/3 active 10G full detach turn off s/oAs you can see that switch captures yet the speed of the optics. Now if I take the same cable and plug it between the 2 x N4032 switches - ports immediately show a link.
Newspapers of the MXL show optics QSFP Fo0/33, it shows the status of the admin of the ports as upward, but the State of the interface is down. Now if I take the same cable of DA and plug it between the 2 MXL in the chassis, the interface state changes until almost immediately. The two MXL is configured in a VLT, but I tried to get the link to the top with the VLT and without the VLT, does anyway.
This shows that cables of DA are fully functional, the ports I plug are functional - even when one end of the cable plugged into the N4032 and the other end in the MXL Force10, the link is not started.
I have the show out of all 4 switches, if necessary technical support.
Thank you
Dave
This problem has been resolved with the help of Technical Support.
It was a mismatch of negotiation between switches.
The fix has been add to the config of the port on the Force10 MXL:

StarWind and EqualLogic coexisting
I was wondering if someone could comment on access to StarWind and EqualLogic provided LUNS simultaneously on the same ESX host.
The hosts are configured "optimal" for the EQL with two vmks on a vSwitch with two NICs currently. Put network is also configured for the EQL - flow control to 1 q buffering enabled.
Any ideas or comments are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Hello again!
How are you :)?
So, you can create separate, vmkernel to be 100% sure that in data security, but everything is going to work on a single vmkernel.

Hi people,
brief update: discovered that - after several days - spotlight indexing is still active. So strongly assume that this oddity Mail 10.0 is down to the indices not being ready to be read.

I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect. It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC). Help!
Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.
Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.
Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port
After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.
Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes
Set up AirPort Extreme again
Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

Apple os 9.3.3 charged down behind my back and now my i phone will not open most of the apps because there is not enough memory. I see that I have 40 GB of memory left on the cloud over 50. How can question, I use my pc to see what has been downloaded on the cloud?
Your question has nothing to do with iCloud. You should remove unnecessary data from your phone to free up about 10% of your phone's storage space.

I downloaded the new software recently and now my Epsom printer does not work
iMac late 2009. Processor 3.06 GHz
Hi, I downloaded the new software recently and now my Epsom printer does not work and my Wi - Fi on the computer keeps dropping out.
I spoke with Epsom and they recommended to remove the drivers and reinstall them. Now, I can not install the ad pilots Wi - Fi does not work correctly. The research on this forum I see there have been many problems with the new version of the software. Can someone help me?

Try a reboot.
Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolate a problem by using a different user account
If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account. Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

I upgraded to ois9.3.3 and now my voice command does not work
Yesterday, I did the upgrade of the ois 9.3.3 and since my voice command will not work. I searched the internet for advice on how to fix but nothing that they suggest work. How can I get rid of this upgrade and go back to what I had which works or solve this problem. I need voice control for I can be hands-free while driving.
Have you tried to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo come back? You won't lose data by doing this, but he cn cure some problems after installing new software or applications.

Shows a check as v16.0.0.287 Shockwave Flash plugin, but it updated the current 16.0.0.305 and restart Firefox (v36.0) do not change the version number or status when rechecking the plugins. Control of Adobe and the Flash Control Panel website confirms 16.0.0.305 is installed. All the solutions to this?
I noticed in the information in the topic: plugins page under Shockwave Flash, path: line was showing.
< path: C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_16_0_0_287.dll,C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\NPSWF32_16_0_0_305.dll >
For outdated version 287 .dll file was still there and listed before the current version of 305. I deleted the 287 .dll version and restart Firefox and check the plug-ins again the problem seems to have been resolved.

Why is my iphone4 and iPad 2 included but not my MacBookPro?
I use the most recent two-factor authentication, but if I remember correctly, the older two-step verification, allowed you to enter devices that could receive sms text messages or iOS devices with find my iPhone. Your MacBook Pro is not one of those.
Note that the two-step verification is designed to protect someone to connect to your Apple and the fact that you may not list your MacBook Pro as a trusted device only means that you cannot use it to receive a code. It does mean that it is less protected.

I have two versions of the same book on my iphone and ipad, which are not synchronized with the other. I want the same book on each device, so I can study on one or the other. I tried to remove the books on my phone, ipad & itunes and start again. It does not work. Help.
Hello david.hogan87,
Thanks for posting about what is happening. If I understand you correctly, you have a book you want on your iPhone and iPad, but neither is synchronizing correctly to have both.
Have you checked every device to confirm that the same identifier Apple is signed all three?
iPhone and iPad: head to settings > iTunes and App Store
iTunes: on a Mac, it's under account or installed depending on the version of iTunes store. On a PC, it is also under account, and if you don't see the menu bar, click on the triangle in the upper left corner to view the Bar Menu or CTRL + B on the keyboard.
If all 3 have the same signed Apple ID, post the version of iOS and iTunes for all three devices here, please.
Best regards.
