• Switches - best bang for the buck?

  We have 2 Dell 5424 switches on our configuration of vsphere 5.0. They are limited to 9000 mtu of the extended frames and I'd like to find a model that can handle up to 9216. The series 6xxx Dell starts at $1770. Can anyone recommend something less expensive which will do what I need?

  Thank you.

  Our Win2k8 R2 VM have the vNIC e1000, which seem to 9014 MTU with no way to set the value. The NPI vswitches and host are on 9000, but I understand that they allow for the overload of the header. The 5424 is stuck at 9000 and does not load. vmkping test the upper part to 8972 (given that the header is added), so the switch must be the bottleneck, unless I'm wrong about the vswitch supporting header.

  The 9014's only kinda silly way of saying 9000... The MTU is 9000 and the 14 additional is what they think is the overload of layer two (14 bytes at the front of the chassis), but they also forgot the checksum CRC 4 bytes at the end.

  Two things though: the 8972 is expected to vmkping load and actually show that your network is working properly. For details of this see: http://rickardnobel.se/troubleshoot-jumbo-frames-with-vmkping

  Secondly: it doesn't matter if a part of the network should really be able to use, for example 9200 and a few other 9000. As long as your infrastructure (vSwitches and physical switches) are also supported at least 9000 that would work very well. The hosts will not blindly send size frames to their maximum, but doesn't make a simple form of negotiation in the session TCP connection.

  This means that your machines will select common MTU lowest, and the 9200 in your case won't be necessary. See for some details:

• Most bang for the buck upgrade question

  Hi all.  I am currently using VMWare Workstation for Windows v6.x and have noticed that when I have three open tiles, my machine seems a little slow.  Current specifications are:

  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750

  RAM: 8 GB

  OS: Vista Ultimate (64-bit)

  OS disk: Velociraptor 150 GB

  VM disk: 1 GB Western Digital (all VMs are on this drive)

  SMV (RAM): SCO UNIX (512 MB), Windows XP Pro (2 GB), Windows XP Pro (1 GB)

  My question is the following, which would give me the best bang for my money:

  1. Upgrade to a Q9550.

  2. Allocate more RAM for the virtual machines (I currently use about 6GB with all the tiles running and what Vista takes on the host)

  3. Build a new machine with an i7 processor.

  4. Move virtual machines to a single Velociraptor.

  5. Move virtual machines to a RAID0 array (using two drives of 1 GB / 7200 RPM).  I know THAT RAID-0 has no redudancy; I would be back up critical files to an external drive of 1 GB.

  On these machines, I do some scripting/small database unix (SCO VM) and especially the word processor (several documents) / some work with audio products/editing Adobe (WinXP VMs).

  Thank you, in advance, for your input.

  I would like to start with more and faster for the VM disks.

• My system hangs during startup "for the first time" after running the system recovery.

  HP G62 - 227 CL

  Win 7 (64 bit)

  No error message, in itself; just a screen frozen on reboot.

  Months, my computer has suddenly started glitching on me.  I stopped and tried a reboot.  The system froze on start with flying colors.  System recovery tried several times but must have made a mistake because he wouldn't.  Resolved to buy a new hard drive and reinstall from the recovery disks.  Delayed unnecessarily until today, months later.

  Before you buy a new hard drive, has decided to relaunch the system recovery.  It worked!  I tried the option that has deleted everything and restored to the software and factory settings.  Everything seemed to work like a charm: hard drive reformatted, reinstalled software, the system prompted me to reboot.  Yes, I did.  Windows started to boot, "Preparting your computer for first use of Setup" appears... and freezes.  For hours.  Hard drive led is off.

  BTW, made sure the button Wi - Fi was on what I read on the problems of recovery if it was turned off when the program is run.

  Restarted.  Press F11.  A ran maintenance and checked the hard disk for errors.  There are errors.  Unfortunately, the default setting of CHKDSK does not repair them.   A opted for a command line.  RAND CHKDSK again with option '/ f/r' seen in other posts.  Here I am too ignorant to get the program to run properly, I guess.  I ran CHKDSK on the two player X and C.  No error found... sort of.  I know they exist because the system will not start.  (Yes, I tried again.)  Return to the command prompt, I tried to run CHKDSK on the drive C again.  This time I got a message that I must first dismount (remove?) the reader.  As I don't know what that means, I opted for the 'no' and have decided to post this help message.

  So.  Suggestions on what do I do then?  More specifically: How do CHKDSK to fix the errors it found?  I think the message was: "errors in $130 of the sector...". "It shows this message two times at the end of 62%.  Freezes for a long time.  Gets will still only slow down to a crawl again around 70%, but no longer.  Then returns to the start of system recovery screen.

  System recovery ran again for the pleasure.  Again, seemed to work like a charm.  Unfortunately, the laptop again sits frozen at "Preparing... for first use" screen again.  It heats more turns.  The audible fan works now plans higher... If none of this helps.  I am stopping and waiting for your advice.

  Thank you!

  Zac:

  My apologies for the delay to return to you.  Believe you that computer gremlins have not hit my very stable desktop which has been fine for years with sudden instability driver?  McAfee thanks for this most recent update!

  In any case, after several diagnoses and find the hard drive has failed in each of them, I decided to install a new copy of Windows 7 as a test while I wait for my upcoming recovery disks in the mail.  I did it by removing all partitions on the drive and do a fresh install.  Here again, everything seemed to go well until that (apparently) a certain area of the drive was used to save/installation of the files.  Even after CHKDSK runs several times (each time he repaired several defective sectors but stalled after only 10% of the disk) the system will become unstable - the last number being a blank screen after logging on to Windows.  So, all in all, epic fail on the side of the hard drive.  The new drive is installed and waiting for my recovery disks.

  Thanks for all your suggestions.  They have been a great help with information, but not with the results because of the training.

• Advice from professionals for the amateur of the MNA

  Hi everyone I hope you have all had a good Christmas and new year.
  
  So my profession is not software engineering and civil engineering (roads, infrastructure, structures, etc.), but I spent years teaching java in my own time and passed the SCJP return in 2010 (I found it an excellent tool to guide me on what to learn and make me learn things that I might not have otherwise). I find java a very useful tool for the work and studies (including my independent study of the year last for my degree).
  
  Even though I am a self-taught amateur, I am well aware, there is a difference between knowing the fundamentals of Java and know how to establish a solid piece of software, and although I got by ok so far, I would like to take my skills to the next level.
  
  I had in my mind to make the developer Java SE 6 after I went SCJP 6 but of course Oracle bought Sun and brought in training required Oracle as part of the requirements. Although I would be happy to make the training realistic I can't afford or justify the formation of my back but I did not like the noise of the [development Applications with the Java SE 6 platform | http://education.oracle.com/pls/web_prod-plq-dad/db_pages.getpage?page_id=609 & p_org_id = 28 & lang = US & get_params = dc:D61860GC10] [, p_preview: N] training, because not only that looks like it covers tips for Developer certification (incase I decided to do), but it would apply the stuff to improve my skills.
  
  I have looked everywhere for similar resources such as books, but have not been able to find anything too convincing. I know that I can not actually real-world experience to learn some of these skills, so my question is did anyone know books or countries that would help someone like me? Give me advice of best practices for the creation of good quality java software?
  
  Thank you.

  We will here my two cents worth:
  Roughly speaking, there are desktop development and development based on the web (there are others). I think that the market for web-based development work is much bigger and I would recommend this path rather than office development. If I understand correctly, web development is divided into browser-based applications and mobile device applications. I'm a developer of browser and I will only talk about this.

  There are countless frames in use for the development of browser based applications. I suggest stick you with the more commonly used ones and not ones that few have heard of (especially employers). Some technologies you should finally become familiar with is: JSP, JSF, Servlets, JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, Struts, Spring, Ant, Maven, JEE6 stack, XML, Web Services, etc. You can read about what these technologies do before you decide you want to read about in detail.

  Some of these technologies are old (JSP and Struts to name but two), but countless programs have been written in them and you'll probably sooner or later (more probably more sooner) find a job where you have to debug and improve their. Since you seem to have web experience and if you consider taking this route, I suggest that you get a book on JSP/Servlets and read online on JDBC. Create a web application that reads data from a database table, it displays and allows the user to update data using MVC design (many web applications rely on filling out the forms). Add validation. Then refactor the project again and again to get it looking for professionals. When you have that down Pat, I suggest you go on JSF. You can optionally enter the spring (I would avoid Struts), but that's a topic for a later date.

  I have read many books on different technologies, as the years have not met all that will take you step by step on setting up of a professional web application of complete best practices from scratch with just about all the services, you must generally. I guess that nobody does because each new requirement of web application is rather unique so that the authors prefer not to give an example of design while there are countless services and configurations of services. In addition, their example probably wil become obsolete soon enough.

  Finally and above all:

• What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

  What are the best options for the composition of math in InDesign CS4?

  I tried a few versions of the composition of mathematics test. All have their advantages and disadvantages, but I can't decide on which the plugin/script will be the best in the long run (in taking account of the ePub and MathML).

  
  So far the two best seems to be InMath (if it becomes compatible CS4) or Math + Magic Pro.

  
  The biggest pro of InMath is editable on the screen, but it seems to have some risk: http://InDesignSecrets.com/InMath-update-with-new-reader-functionality.php

  
  Math + Magic Pro works well with CS4, but need of equations to modify in the window of their plugin, and because they are EPS format. The file size and the ability to work with a digital player disappeared.

  And MathType seems pretty useless...

  Someone at - it had positive experiences?

  Not exactly the kerning, but you can move blocks wherever you want with the arrow keys. And you can change the spacing between the elements by changing the spacer between them. There are also defects of spacing.

  Batch edit can be something again. I use 6.0, and I see that the most recent version is 6.5.

  I had problems with files EPS of Mathtype, which may include a preview, but do not include fonts. So, I opened each equation of the word with my default settings (they automatically change the default fonts, spacing, size, etc.), copy, paste in Illustrator and save as have. So when I'm finished, my equations are always vector (if that's what you mean by text).

  Microsoft has chosen to implement a version of Mathtype dumbed-down as the editor of Word equations for many years. So for me at least, long term has already been decided. There are several things wrong with Mathtype, but given the choice between the use of Mathtype to * convert * equations and using InMath or mathemagiques to * recreate * equations, I'll take Mathtype, warts and all.

• What is the best monitor for the MacBook Pro?

• Best Meanless for the 7 "digital picture frame

  Hello

  I had one

  * Digital Photo Frame II, 7 "O, 720 x 480, touch sensor, MP3 Player-Funktion PA3637K-1ETC *.

  Manual talk about the best resolution for the photos to.

  you will find on the Web: 800 x 480 pixel WVGA screen (720 x 480 pixels ZAL Bereich)

  726 x 480 pixel samples.

  Now my problem:

  When you put pictures on it - * it cropps a bit on the right and left side and more on the top and the bottom.*

  I tried many sizes. Even in 720 x 480 it cropps.

  So my question is: what is the best resolution for the photos?

  Best regards

  Markus

  I think that the Digital Photo Frame supports the 3:2 format.

  It's a format that is supported for analog cameras.

  I think that your photos are created in 3:4.

  So if you want to get a maximum photo resolution then you create pictures in the 3:2 format.

  For most all CAMS dig support such format and you can choose somewhere in the menu of the digital camera.

• Best settings for the analysis of revenues

  I just bought a HP Officejet 6600 A-I-O. I was looking for a device scan my boxes of documents, so I can unclutter my home office. I would also like to analyze the revenue. I considered the famous 'neat Scanner", but I hesitated to the price tag of $400.

  My question: what are the best settings for the HP scanning application when I'm scanning received? What is the difference between PDF and PDF searchable? IsTIFF a better choice than PDF? Use "Generalist" or something else? Recipes do not need large files high resolution, of course.

  Can someone point me to a guide that explains the different parameters available with the HP Scan application, please. Thank you!

  Hi Caesar3,

  In a regular PDF document, the text looks more like a picture of the text.  We can see it, but the file does not contain the words.

  In an indexed PDF, text is stored as text, so it can be searched.

  http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-create-a-searchable-PDF-file

  When you scan receipts, 200 or 300 dpi should be fine.  If you plan to print the stored version receive 300 dpi would work well.

  I recommend PDF more TIFF.  TIFF files can store pages or multiple images in a single file, but access to additional pages is a bit awkward.  Generally, the file size is much smaller with PDF or TIFF.

  The site http://www.scantips.com/ is a good resource.  This is a Web site not HP, but it does not scan HP.

• T610 with Windows Embedded 7 - the system does not license for the operating system image

  Hello community,

  I bought a refurbished computer ThinClient T610 that is running a Windows 7 Embedded English. The label on the package says, that the computer ThinClient is allowed with W7E. When I now run Easy Tools installed on the computer ThinClient hp to create a USB Image with the German language, everything works fine: the image is downloaded from the web and put on the stick.

  But after you start the stick, the installation program tells me: "the system does not license for the operating system image. What I am doing wrong? The BIOS is already the latest.

  Or y at - it another way to transform the operating system in German? There should be an option to download additional languages, but this particual window has no other options. And I have not found any manual way to download other languages.

  Concerning

  Michael

  Sometimes it can be so easy... ;-)

  So here's my solution:

  1. go on the Web for hp Support site

  2. go in the software and driver download

  3. set the language of driver on the language of your choice (in fact: it was the main problem)

  4. download an operating system image

  5. run the configuration tool and copy the image of an operating system on a flash drive

  6. restart the workstation and install the os

  7. take advantage of your computer ThinClient in the language of your choice

  I don't know, why the hp Easy Tools downloaded the image of evil, but with this solution, that I find myself at the same point, as if they did.
