• WMP11 & sharing media w / Xbox 360 - does not display settings ' share my media to.

  Recently, I tried to connect my Xbox 360 to my laptop PC running Windows XP SP3. All the official how - in fact seem as easy as going to WMP 11, then the 360 was on and connected to the network and will 'Media Sharing' and check the box, "share my media". However, while they were inspecting the area, nothing happens, no detail windows open upwards. All are two buttons, OK and CANCEL. I click OK, all gray outside for a while as the settings are applied, then it returns to the same window sharing media files, no new options, no new parameters. Like nothing happened.

  And indeed, nothing has changed.

  Gentlemen, what do I do?

  AGVKrioni,

  Sorry to hear about your difficulties.  No fun!  If the Xbox 360 don't watch not appear inside WMP 11 as a shared device, then it is possible that WMP 11 does not see the Xbox.

  1. the xbox is completely up to date via xbox live?

  2. it can also be caused when the Xbox and computer are actually on 2 different networks (despite being connected in the same building).  Connect the computer or Xbox Wireless?  To check that they are in fact on the same network, obtain the IP address of your Xbox.
  -Go to system settings network settings.  Note the IP address.
  -Go to your computer.  See if you can test your XBOX (see on the network).  Open the prompt (start, run, "cmd").  Type "ping ipaddresshere ".  Do you have an answer?

  3. check that you have all the latest Windows updates (there may be other updates/patches for network management issues)

  4 turn off your Windows Firewall

  I hope that these 4 ideas help or someone much more intelligent that I add ideas, because there is nothing else I can offer.  I hope that helps!  Good luck.

• BlackBerry Passport indicates incorrect media storage card

  Dear all,

  I got my first Blackberry phone, today and always try to get used to.

  I have a problem that I have inserted a 64 GB Sandisk Ultra XC I but Passport 199 MB shows in the details of the media storage. I formatted the card several times, but the situation does not change.

  Can someone tell me how I can solve this problem? I tried to SD cards and both are SanDisk 64 GB XC I.

  Thank you.

  199MB total is in space?

  Have you tried to read cards directly with a laptop or desktop and look at the properties of the map. That's what I'd do. And I would launch a repair using the computer and see what you see.

  Another question. When you first inserted the card, you should have seen an error message followed by the notification that the pilots were being downloaded. Did you see the error message and notification?

• subnet VMkernel iSCSI for direct-attached storage

  Hello

  I have two hosts esxi 6.0 that I connect to a shared via iSCSI storage. I followed this document technical http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/techpaper/vmware-multipathing-configuration-software-iSCSI-port-binding.pdf#sthash.7bztDoAS.dpf to configure interfaces iSCSI on the esxi with binding ports host. No problem.

  I use HP MSA 2040 with a dual controller and I'll connect two hosts directly on the shared storage. As for the hardware, according to the documents on best practices, it is recommended to follow a vertical subneting for ports of controllers. However, I have not found no requirement for iSCSI ports in vmware, all of the examples I found configure each vmkernel port in a different subnet, as I did:

  vSwitch0

  iSCSI1 - vmk2 - 192.168.1.11 (unused vmk3)

  iSCSI2 - vmk3 - 192.168.2.11 (unused vmk2)

  So, my question is vmkernel ports are in different subnets? or could they be in the same subnet with no difference performance wise?

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  in your case, because you are trying to achieve Multipathing to iSCSI Software initiator, the vmkernel ports should be in the same subnet.

• Options for sharing local storage

  I work with a test environment and familiarize myself with some of the more advanced options of VMWare.

  Currently, in our lab, I have a server that has a ton of direct-attached storage. We have a San were included in the budget by the end of this year, but in the meantime, I would like to use this server as a substitute of SAN.

  I'm looking for the cleaner way to do this under ESXi 5, preferably without spending any extra money. We have licenses for the VSA, but it seems that I can't use VSA without several servers in a cluster - which I did not. Is there a way to take advantage of VSA without creating a cluster VSA?

  Is there a way do this within VMWare infrastructure that does not involve using something like FreeNAS or a similar solution, which will eventually create giant VMDK files that I have to deal with? I mean, I could lift a virtual server with a huge VMDK attached and ask one of the software solutions to give me iSCSI targets, but it seems hardly elegant. I might just install FreeNAS on bare metal server, but then I lose the use of the VMS host server.

  Forgive me if this is basic - I did some research first. I am looking for a way to use the data store (s) on this machine for other servers who lack storage space.

  Edit - not sure I understand the question / Setup... If the server that has a ton of local storage is already running ESXi?

  "I'm looking for a way to use the data store (s) on this machine for other servers that don't have storage space" "

  With the exception of the magic and mirrors behind VSA, ESXi does not have the ability to share a local data store. This data store must live somewhere else and be introduced to several machines in the way of an NFS share, target iSCSI or FC LUNS.

  I was in that same boat a year ago--a company hired me on for a large project of VMware without realizing that the shared storage is the key to an installation of VMware. They ordered servers with cargoes of physical local storage. Oops. Finally convinced a SAN is the only way (this is also before the release of v5, therefore not VSA). We have since removed all disks, and have most of them redeployed elsewhere (a dedup backup on a physical computer).

• Sharing USB storage device problems: EA4500

  Share questions, I just run my USB connected hard drive via UPNP, SMB and FTP.  Neither option seems to work, except for FTP when I allow anonymous access.

  I can't access my files via FTP using OS X Lion mountain.  I have FTP access and use the administrator account to access the location.  When I turn on the media server, none of my DLNA/UPNP devices are able to connect to or even discover the EA4500.  Don't know what is happening here.  This is a brand new EA4500.  Devices on my home network can see the multimedia servers set up with serviio running on a PC with no problems.

  In addition, access SMB does not work either.  I am unable to connect to my Mac via SMB sharing.  Haven't tried with a PC.

  I'll try to update to the latest firmware.

  Personally, I didn't have much luck finding classic firmware sharing stuff immediately.  I have advanced and set up all the stuff of sharing on the firmware of cloud.  2.0.37 classic firmware works, it takes just a while to understand.  The cloud is much easier.

  Here's a good page where you can update to the classic firmware newer or firmware of clouds.  It is under the downloads tab.

  http://homesupport.Cisco.com/en-us/support/routers/EA4500

  Edit: I think that you can update the firmware automatically from the router.  You don't need to do it manually.

• deleted files & folder still show when sharing media with XBOX

  I use my XBOX to connect to my windows7 system which is part of the homegroup with multimedia file sharing.  I can access the files and play the video very well.   My problem is when I remove a video folder shared on the computer of Windows7, it always appears in the show still files XBOX as a shared file, or even deleted as existing, but they really aren't there.  How can I force the system to update the list to see what is really in the files?

  I saw that as well, but I think it's the xbox caching (storage) the list and not in fact that Windows 7 is offering an old list.  Re-establishment of the connection to the computer settings of the Xbox seems to refresh, or you can just wait and it will eventually regenerate (for me, a few hours).  Turn on/off the Xbox could even help him out.

• Differences between the ISCSI connections to the storage in vSphere 4.1 and 5.0.

  I'm in trouble of setting up the connections of storage in a new VSphere 5.0 test environment. In our environment VSphere 4.1, it was possible to create a virtual switch add two Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 NIC. Set assets. IP Hash value as load balancing. (LACP Etherchannel on physical switches) This configuration uses a grain port and a single IP address. Then add our NetApp NFS storage and ISCSI Equillogic storage. In VSphere 5.0, I can't create this same configuration. I have to create separate with separate IP addresses vmkernal ports? The idea was to have redundant connections to the storage and flow of these two NETWORK cards. Possibly adding additional if necessary to the futuer NETWORK cards. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  How can I work around this:

  "VMkernel network adapter must have an active link exactly and no waiting rising to be eligible for the iSCSI HBA connection."

  I can certainly say that the way which allows you to configure the iSCSI Multipathing is incorrect.

  The main idea is to let Native Multipathing Plugin to decide what network path to choose, not the vSwitch.

  At the level of the network layer, you must have 1 VMK by a physical NIC.

  This technique applies as well for vSphere 4.1 and 5.0, but with the 5.0 it is configured easier and more quickly.

  Here's a very brief consequence of steps

  1. get 2 VMK interfaces and assign an IP by each VMK.

  2. set each VMK to use only one physical NETWORK adapter

  3 GB with storage iSCSI software adapter, turn it on and bind your VMKs 2.

  4 connect to your iSCSI storage space

  5 rescan devices, create the VMFS datastore

  6. set the desired load balancing VMFS method or just set up a prior default create new VMFS

  and it is strongly recommended to read this guide - http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-50-storage-guide.pdf

  When I look in/vmfs/devices/disks, I see that these vml files are the LUNS for the SQL cluster. I guessthe physical windows-server reserved LUNS.

  The problem is that a new analysis of the host bus adapters takes to always (5 minutes), but works.

  The major problem is that I can not add new storage VMFS to the esx cluster. I get this message when you click "Add storage...". » :

  The query failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond

  Are there best practices available for LUNS between ESX and other sharing systems, or best practices to not do? (It works of course..)

  I have attached a screenshot where you can see how the two servers are configured.

  The names there are exactly the same (part iqn.*). Is this right?

  No - each port iSCSI (initiator and target) must have a name unique iSCSI. Looks like you have confused the name of the initiator (that is usually automatically generated by ESXi) and target name. The name target iSCSI needs to be registered on the page 'Static discovery' (or even does not need to manually enter at all, if you specify the address IP target on the "Dynamic discovery" page, and the target supports the request send targets).

  Now, you need make the name of the single initiator once again (and different from the name used by the target itself).

• Strategy for sharing media between Mac and Windows Premiere Pro

  I hope that I write in the right forum, it's here or in the hardware forum.

  I'll take the plunge and get a pretty high-end PC to increase my aging Mac Pro for Premiere Pro CS 5.5 (and probably 6 CS as soon as the kinks are developed). Right now my online media resides on several trendy readers fast eSATA RAID 5, on my Mac Pro through some eSATA PCI cards. It works well and I have pretty good bandwidth of 200MBS to 250MBS using this method, I think enough speed for the type of media that I use in my changes, a combination of XDCAM EX, AVCHD, H.264 Canon with maybe 4-5 rivers both in Multicam edits.

  Adding from my PC to the combination will complicate things. I want to be able to access the media on my eSATA drives, which are currently formatted for Mac, using filesystem HFS +. I heard that the Mac drive can make Windows well read this file system.

  The issue is sharing this media on drives fast enough for both systems be able to modify / access simultaneously. I do not have Gigabit ethernet, but I don't think it would be pretty quickly, I think that practically it tops on about 70 MB/second. I probably need more speed.

  Also the Mac can share than the SMB protocol, but does not seem to the current Mac OS 10.7 sharing SMB very well but I test it with Windows. I know for my various boxes of media player, it does not work very well, or at any time to access my Mac 10.7 system via SMB. In addition, SMB seems to be a very slow network protocol. I can share via AFP or NFS, and I think that NFS is the speed you need, do not know if Windows out of the box can cope with this Protocol.

  I know there is such a thing as "fiber channel" and other mainly tech to create a fast network, the Mac can also network via Firewire, but I don't think it will be enough or fast. I guess I could see if it was faster than Gigabit ethernet protocol using Cat 6 or what is the last type of ethernet cable. I am doing a shortcut here and see if the large number of people did and what they think works best.

  Thanks for all the tips here.

  Kind regards

  -Keith

  I guess there are a lot of variables, but change us on a network using the SMB and Gigabit Ethernet and working with fairly similar media (XDCAM HD 422, XDCAM EX, AVCHD or H264) and it works fine. We have two servers sharing between 3 and 4 editing suites. I think that if you are just sharing between two machines, it should be sufficient.

• The CARS performance bottleneck will be the shared disk storage?

  Hi all
  I'm studying CARS and I am concerned about the bottleneck of CARS I/O performance.
  If I have 10 knots and they use the same disk storage to contain the data, then
  they're going to do i/o on the disk at the same time.
  Maybe we got more latency...
  
  Will it be a performance problem?
  
  How RAC does not solve this kind of problem?
  
  Thank you.

  All 10 nodes connected with storage shared by FIBRE cable which give faster latency also all nodes interconnection must be a GIGABIT switch. This option two is going to solve the problem of slow disk i/o.
