• Update on Thinkpad T420 Intel graphics card

  Hello!

  I have a Thinkpad T420 with Windows 7. When I try to update my driver Intel Graphics HD (version 8.15.10.2538) than the Lenovo Web (version 9.17.10.3347) site, I get the error message "this computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software."

  Page Intel tells me that I have either the wrong driver (which should not be the question because I got from Lenovo driver support page) or the version of the OS (I advanced and tried both the 32 and 64 bit driver, nothing works) or that I don't have Intel graphics card (but I do).

  Is my processor simply not taken in charge by the updated more? I have an Intel Core i5 - 2520M. Or does perhaps have problems with my NVIDIA graphics card?

  
  

• ThinkPad T420 recovery problem

  Hi all

  I need your help. I have a problem with ThinkPad T420. When I am pressing ThinkVintage or F11 to get into recovery, it loads and then I get this message below;

  Link to image

  Don't know how to solve this problem, thank you!

  If partitions System_DRV and Lenovo_Recovery (q) has not been resized or corrupt, R & R should work. So, I guess to upgrade/reinstall application Lenovo Rescue & recovery via ThinkVantage System Update because there are a lot of conditions to perform this task manually (eg. There are several options for deployment and language packs).

  If this does not help, it could be better and more quickly to create a Lenovo recovery media, it's almost the same Lenovo recovery environment you try to start using BB or F11:
  -make it from Lenovo R & R application, advanced mode, rescue media
  - or simply deploy a .iso file image:
  C:\Program Files (x 86) \Lenovo\Rescue and Recovery\rrcd

  Note, in any case, it is a good practice to have this rescue media.

  If you want to reset the laptop to the factory scene, do it from recovery media factory Lenovo.

• Black screen on a lenovo Thinkpad T420

  Hello, I m a proud owner of a lenovo thinkpad T420. My screen remains black with blacklighting on when I try to boot with a linux live cd, I can t see the office nothing. I tried with an external display, same result. And when I restart the computer with windows, everything seems normal. Please help me!

  I tried to use the Ubuntu distribution

  Also, which version of Ubuntu or under Live CD do you use? The reason I ask is because it should be relatively new. For example, there should be no problem with anything out of the Oct/Nov the year last to this day. Try 16 11.10 Ubuntu or Fedora or Linux Mint 12. One of these should work.

  Good luck!

• With the help of sleep - ThinkPad T420

  I was told that using sleep instead of turn off my ThinkPad T420 will destroy him. Is this true? I find practice never to shut down the computer, but I don't want to cause any damage.

  @sliderda2b,.

  I do not see how it will destroy the laptop, unless the laptop did not enter "sleep mode" correctly and is still ongoing when you put it in a laptop bag which causes the laptop overheats. (happened to my friend before laptop computer).

  Personally I use hibernate, I activated its "beep" that the laptop goes into sleep mode extended, then when it stops beeping means that the laptop is already in hibernation. Works everytime for me =)

• upgrade processor for p6514f

  I want to upgrade the processor for this system.

  HP Pavilion p6514f

  Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  500 GB HARD drive

  5 GB OF RAM

  Socket LGA 775

  I checked the specifications of the card mother IPIEL-A3 (Eureka3) which States that the processor can be upgraded to a Core 2 Quad processor. I bought one that's a Q6600, Slacr Malay, 2.4 GHz / 8 Mb/1066/05 a - L846A603

  When I installed the new processor, the system did not want to start and the message displayed briefly on the screen, said that the processor was not compatible with the system.  Where am I wrong?  I thought I did everything right, but now I have a processor with nowhere to go.  Good blood!

  I could not find any discussion about this upgrade on this system, so I hope someone might know the answer as to why this processor does not work with this system.

  Thanks for any help!

  Here are the specifications of the card mother IPIEL-A3 (Eureka3) in your computer. According to the specifications;

  Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

  TDP: 95W

  Series Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield core)

  Series Dual Core Core 2 Duo Intel (core Wolfdale)

  From my research, the Q6600 processor you bought is based on the core Kentsfield. According to the specifications of the motherboard, your system supports processors based core Yorkfield. Based on this information, your system should work with the Yorkfield based Intel Q8xxx and/or Q9xxx processors.

• Red blackBerry exclamation Z10 there is in the battery icon when it is connected to the Thinkpad T420

  I'm new here and the Z10 is my first BlackBerry smartphone.

  I noticed that when I out took it of the box and connected to my Thinkpad T420 that was running Windows 8, it started to charge the battery and it was OK, and then I installed the link of BlackBerry that comes with it and after that I restarted my laptop, there is a red in the battery icon exclamation point , and it seemed that he was arrested for battery.

  I uninstalled the link BlackBerry and after restart, it began to charge the battery again.

  I don't know if this is a bug or not.

  Thank you.

  I have not tried the phone with Windows 8.

  I am trained on technical support for Windows 7, and I do technical support for Windows 7.  At the moment I have no training to win 8 support.  If your device is running Windows 8 - RT, I would put a strong bet on a compatibility issue with the link for the phone drivers. If the device uses the standard Win 8 OS, then I would be inclined to think that it is a problem of compatibility of equipment of a certain type. From what I read link is supposed to work with Win 8. I do not know RT

  Read on...

  I think of how link installed on Win 7 systems, that it comes with its own drivers. I never watched very closely into that because I never had a problem with the link using Win 7.  I had some problems with XP on some older computers. Without the software Link installed Win 7 installs its own generic drivers.

  I also found with Win 7 computers with the former manager of office installed, these drivers to work also with the Z10 to charge and be able to read the card SD and memory of the phone via the USB port. Software Desktop Manager does not work with the Z10.

  Try if you can do it in 8 Win.  Install the software Link. Go to the properties of system with the phone BB device.  Uninstall the phone in the hardware section. This should uninstall the drivers. Restart the computer with the phone powered on and connected. I'm game if drivers Win 8 BB will be installed on the recovery that the pilots of the link. I never tried with Win 8. It may be interesting the shot.

  Something else interesting to try if this does not work, connect the Z10 using an external powered USB HUB between him and the computer. The CENTRE acts as a buffer. Maybe the OS will react differently this way.  I had problems where a powered USB HUB solved some problems with specific USB devices. It's more with printers, scanners and GPS devices.

  Another problem is that I believe that your Thinkpad works more like a Tablet than a full blown computer. This may be a problem with the software Link. It would be interesting to know if someone else who reads this, use the Link software on a desktop or full blast laptop computer that runs 8 Win. If so and there is no problem, this should limit the problem the T420, rather than the system Win 8 or the software link itself.

  Another interesting looking thing is so that the phone can not load the Link software able to read the phone anyway?  If so, you may have to live with the fact you can save and restore the phone with the T420, but not load.

  If you sync the phone with Hotmail, you will have a form of a backup of your contacts, and I also believe that data. I tried syncing the phone with Yahoo and Gmail. Gmail has had lots of questions. Yahoo has worked but not exceptional. I found that Hotmail works best with the Z10 for synchronization.

  If you have Outlook, you can install the Outlook Hotmail sync tool. This is available on the website of Ms. It is called Outlook connect if I remember correctly. This way you can configure MS Outlook to sync with your Hotmail account. This will keep the phone and your Outlook all synchronised with Hotmail.  I do this with a number of Z10 with great success. You will need to make yourself a Hotmail e-mail account. Then, you will need to do some reading to get it going.

• I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse.

  Original title: right click on the mouse itself activating

  I borrowed a USB to a person at work and I started having problems with the wireless mouse and the carpet of my laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad T420 mouse. The left click of two devices works normally, however, sometimes she does not respond to clicks and it takes a few seconds to work. The left button was constantly starts to turn on, as if he was stuck. After that I hit Alt + Tab and modify windows it stops for a few moments and starts at a later date. I havo not found a specific condition or a combination of keys that may trigger the fault.

  I read a few posts on discussion forums, but all say that it could be a hardware problem, which I think is not, because both devices have the same problem and I'm sure it all started with the insertion of the borrowed memory stick. I scanned the readers to help Symantec's EndPoint Protection and installed Microsoft Security Essentials and performed a full scan, but found nothing. I even restored the system, but the problem remains.

  Should I get a different antivirus? How can I find the cause so I can find a better targeted solution?

  Try to install the drivers from this link and check.

• The processors for vMotion compatibility

  We have just upgraded to vSphere Essentials 6, Plus so we can take advantage of vMotion. We have built an almost exact replica of our existing Dell PowerEdge T420 server, so that we can have a high availability for virtual machines, they move from one physical server to another, depending on the needs. Looking through the documentation of DRS cluster, it is said that the processors 'must come from the same class of supplier (Intel and AMD) with the same family of compatible processor for migration with vMotion. . "(vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre()'

  Our current server has a processor of v2 Intel Xeon E5-2440 (8 cores, 20 MB of cache, 1.9 GHz). The seller we buy our new generation of server of door the same CPU model number (Intel Xeon E5-2440), but with 6 cores, 15 MB of cache, 2. 4 GHz. They have to special order the exact same processor, we currently have. We will encounter any problems if the rest of the hardware is the same, but the processors are slightly different? Same supplier, same family, same model number – only with fewer cores, less cache, more GHz. Is that what I should consider before moving?

  Thank you!

  Ben

  Your processors are of different generations, the E5-2440 is a Sandy Bridge and the E5-2440 v2 is an Ivy Bridge, take a look here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/64612, 75263

  And since they are from a different generation, you need to activate CVS in your cluster to the power of the machine virtual vMotion between these hosts, have a look here for more information on the CVS: KB VMware: best vMotion compatibility (EVC) processor support

• Support processor for ESXi 5.0?

  Our company is currently using vSphere deployed on ESXi 4.1 servers and we are looking to try out the new 5.0 before actually buying the upgrade, but we wanted a devil of a time finding a server it will run on. When I try to install on our servers, they say that the LAHF and SAHF CPU instructions are not supported on this processor. It's probably expect that the waiters are about 5 years, so I decided I would build my own server to test with. Looking at the page system requirements 5.0 ESX http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003661 looks like it is said the Intel Xeon 3100 series is supported.

  So my question is: is the supported Intel L3110 processor for sure?

  I got the specs on this processor from: http://Ark.Intel.com/products/32709/Intel-Xeon-processor-L3110-%286M-cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB%29

  You can perform a search in the hardware compatibility matrix below

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  But Ko say its taken care of, so it will be supported, give it a try and see... But as the hardware compatibility of vmware matirix said not his only supported on esx (i) 4.1 and lower version, could be the case, the HCL site is not updated. See the link on intel xenon 3100 and the version of esxi supported below

• Doubts about licenses

  Hi all
  
  I have a few doubts about the price of licenses.
  
  I understand, I can deploy an APEX Server 11g XE free of charge, but what happens, if I want to install, a version no XE?
  
  Imagine a billing application, for 10 users, and I will assume that a Standard is sufficient. With the help of [this price list | http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/pricing/technology-price-list-070617.pdf], how much exactly will cost?
  
  I understand I can get a license by user or server, or I have to license user and server too?
  
  Kind regards.

  Hello
  metric license is named plu user or license CPU (see the table of the core).

  for a quote, you can take a look in the oracle store or ask your dealer for an exact price oracle.

• Doubts about event handlers

  Hello
  
  I had some doubts about the event handlers in the IOM 11.1.1.5...
  
  (1) I want to use the same event handler for the message insert and update Post task... Can I use the same handler for this... If Yes, then how can I make...
  
  (2) can I create the single class of Plugin.xml and add all the jar files in IE single lib folder and zip them all together... If yes then what changes I need to do? Need only add that the plugin tags for different class in the plugin.xml file files? OR need to do something extra too...?
  
  (3) if I need to change something in any class handler... Is it need to unregister the plugin and register again...?
  If Yes... Is it need to delete the event handler using the weblogicDeleteMetadata command?
  
  (4) that we import the event handler of the path as event manager/db /... If we add all the evetn handler.xml files in this folder... As when importing weblogicImportMetadata called recursively all files in this folder... Now, if I need to change anything in one of the event handler class... so if import us from the same event manager/db folder... What to do... Create the copy of the eventhandlers? OR should I not add Eventhandler.xml files to class files, I made the changes...
  
  (5) given that I need to create emails on the creation of the user while recon and identification of email updated as a first name or surname updates... I had to use in the event handler.xml (entity-type = 'User' operation = "CRΘER") or something else...
  
  
  Help me clarify my doubts...

  Yes, on the update post you need to be check first if the first and last name change to update the mail electronic id, rather then calculation always email identification. So, you can check the path name are updated through the previous code.

• Affinity processor for a virtual machine

  I have a lot of CPU 8 on which I have installed ESX 3.5 U3. I also created a virtual machine Windows 2003 Server SP2 with 2 CPU is assigned to the.

  I'm trying to set the processor affinity for this virtual machine to use 2 of my physical processors. I see now on the tab Advanced CPU, I am able to select all available 8 physics of the processor. So now I'm a bit confused regarding if VMware allows scaling of my machine virtual to use all 8 CPU when my virtual machine is only 2 CPU?

  Now if the above is true, and I am to be allowed to set the affinity of the virtual machine to the all 8 CPU, then why is this maximum limit of the processor for a virtual machine is only 4? A stupid question probably but I'm really confused?  :|

  Hi confused,

  Yes, the user interface is a bit confusing. As RParker said, basically what you are doing when you assign the processor affinity are to identify the nuclei on which the vCPU is eligible to run on. At no time will be the VM scheduled to be run on carrots than what there vCPUs, so he will never have access to a capacity more than expected.

  The processor affinity is one of those features that's been around since 'the beginning' and its utility is really a bit blurred. I've heard of cases where users were running Citrix workloads configured with 2 vCPU and assigned the processor affinity for each virtual computer with the result of improving the performance. I wonder this because I never saw myself, and have a decent knowledge of how works the vmkernel Scheduler, it make much sense.

  I would encourage you (and anyone else reading this) essentially forget that the processor affinity is an option. Use it can cause significant performance degradation (if, for example, you pin a VM through two nodes NUMA, rather than keep vCPUs all in the same node) and break features (VMotion, DRS and who knows what else in the future).

• Doubts about RAC infrastructure with a disk array

  Hello everyone,
  
  I am writing because we have a doubt about the correct infrastructure to implement RAC.
  
  Please, let me first explain the current design we use for storage Oracle DB. Currently, we are conducting multiple instances in multiple servers, all connected to a SAN disk storage array. As we know that it is a single point of failure so we have redundant controlfiles, archiveds and Orde in the table and in the internal drive of each server, in which case table has completely failed us 'just' need to recover cold backup nightly, applied hoops and Oder and everything is ok. This is possible because we have autonomous bodies and we can assume that this downtime of 1 hour.
  
  Now, we want to use these servers and implementing this table to a RAC solution and we know that this table is our only point of failure and wonder if it is possible to have a RAC multi-user solution (not AS a node) with controlfiles/archs/oder redundant internal drives. Is it possible to have each written full node RAC controlfiles/archs/oder in drives internal and applies these files systematically when the ASM filesystem used for CARS is restorations (i.e. with a softlink in an internal drive and using a single node)? Maybe the recommended solution is to have a second table to avoid this single point of failure?
  
  Thank you very much!

  Fix. It is the right solution.

  In this case, you can also decide to simply use the distribution on both tables and mirror of the array1 array2 on table data using the ASM redundancy options.

  Keep in mind that the redundancy is also necessary for connectivity. If you need at least 2 switches to connect on two tables and two HBA ports on each server, 2 fibers running, one to each switch. You will need driver multichannel s/w on the server to deal with the multiple I/O paths for storing same lun.

  Similarly, you will need to repeat this step for your Interconnect. 2 private switches, 2 cards on each server which are pasted. Connect then these 2 network cards on the 2 switches, one NETWORK card per switch.

  Also, don't forget to spare parts. Spare switches (one for the storage and interconnection). Spare cables - fiber and everything that is used for the interconnection.

  Bottom line - not a cheap to have a redundancy solution. What we can do is to combine the layer of Protocol/connection of storage with the interconnection layer and run both on the same architecture. Oracle database machine and Exadata storage to servers. You can run your storage Protocol (e.g. PRSS) and your Protocol (TCP or RDS) interconnection on the same 40 GB Infiniband infrastructure.

  As well as 2 switches Infiniband are needed for redundancy, plus 1 spare. With each server running a dual port HCA and one cable for each of these 2 switches.
