• Question about the composition settings and make

  I looked for an answer to my question, but had to ask at resort, sorry, it's pretty basic, but a direct response is needed I think.

  I imported a project in Premiere pro with two layers of still images with movement and applied effects. I work for a few weeks now, with variations on these pictures and had many number of exports of EI through the render queue.

  After you import the compositions of first CC my starting point; composition and other settings of composition parameters are all resolved HDTV 1080 25 but the set resolution in which I unfortunately now has, is defined as 'Half' (960 * 540)... New compositions also sets the default resolution somehow half...

  My question is about my previous exports and subsequently.  Together of the composition to "Half" resolution affect the quality of my compositions exported using the render module? So far, all my renders are 1080 p by default and no 960 * 540. These have been uprezed to 1080 of 960? ... - I have not changed any setting on the resolution in the rendering module - they all came out 1080 after.

  Thank you

  Together of the composition to "Half" resolution affect the quality of my compositions exported using the render module?

  N ° except if you change the settings of default rendering, which is "Best settings" in "current Configuration".

• Question about removing a HOST and add it again with the other IP management

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  I have an environment with two centers of data/clusters inside my virtual Center 2.5

  One of her consistes of clusters on two ESXi 3.5 licensed nodes. Each of them has 2 VMKernel ports form management. One of them has an IP (A.A.A.1) with any VLAN, the other port is in VLAN111 and IP (B.B.B.1). The other host ESXi has A.A.A.2 and B.B.B.2 IP.

  The other cluster has two 3.5 ESX (not i) and they have a single port/IP managemente (in the VLAN111, which is the same as the other cluster)

  The first cluster appears associated with the virtual center with the No.-VLAN port (IP A.A.A.1 and 2). Is a problem for me because I need to access the first cluster of other machines having no visibility on the A.A.A.x subnet, but it has visibility to the VLAN111. If I connect to the virtual Center, he shows me the IP A.A.A.x but when I try to access them, I can't.

  I would like to do the following WITHOUT affecting the first cluster:

  -Remove each host in my Center Virtual (The VM will continue to work without problem?)

  -Add each host the virtual Center, but this time I'll add the IP VLAN111 (B.B.B.x)

  My question is if these will generate instabilities problems on my dock.

  Thanks in advance

  This process has worked for us when the old VC (2.5) ESX Servers moving again VC (4.0).

  1 undo the HA and DRS configuration on the farm.

  2. unplug all battery ESX servers.

  3 remove all ESX server farm servers.

  4. Add the ESX Server to new cluster in VC (4.0).

  5. configure the HA and DRS on the new farm.

  Used for over 700 ESX servers with zero impact.

• Question about VMKernel iSCSI traffic and VLANS

  Hello

  This is a very fundamental question that I'm sure I know the answer too, but I want to ask him anyway just to reassure myself.  As a precursor to my question, the configuration of my ESX infrastructure is best described here: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/VMware+ESX+4.0+and+PowerVault+MD3000i.  Or more precisely, we have two controllers MD3000i.  Each controller has two ports and each port is configured on two different subnets, with every subnet connected to the different switch.  ESX host are connected to two switches.  The only difference for the guide, is we have two MD3000i configured the same, connection to the same switches.  Each MD ports is configured on the same subnet, but different IP addresses.

  At present, we are in the process of upgrading our two iSCSI switches of humble Dlink DGS - 1224T to Cisco 2960 T of.  The switches have been and continue to be dedicated to iSCSI traffic, however, I'm trying to set up VLAN s on the side of the switch.  Originally, we used the default VLANS on switches, however, after you have added an another MD3000i, noted the Support Dell best practices is to separate each on its own subnet and VLAN MD3000i iSCSI traffic. This would result in iSCSI 4 VLANS, two on each switch and two for each MD3000i.  Firstly, is this in fact of good practices?

  Second, if I migrate preceding 4 iSCSI VLANS, as each switch port will actually be an access port, will there need to complete the VLAN ID field in the VMKernel configuration page? Presumably, this field is used when the tagging VLAN is used, but as our switches do not need any other rocking trunk (as they are dedicated to iSCSI traffic), there should be no need to fill?  I guess it would be prudent to keep the two existing subnets, create two new subnets and make changes to an MD3000i and connection of the ESX host.  Provided the switch and switch ports has been appropriate configured with VLAN on the right, the rest should be transparent and he wouldn't be Intel VLAN in all ESX hosts?

  Would be nice to get answers and thank you in advance!

  Gene

  (1) Yes, it is best practice for ESX iscsi, having an independent network and vlan for iscsi traffic.

  (2) No, there is no need to mention anything in the area of vlan, if you use an access port. Its a mandatory thing than a choice. If you supply the id vland with access port, it loses connectivity.

  Please explain a bit why you need to create two different virtual local networks for each MD3000i. You are going to use several on the same ESX box iscsi storage? Alternatively, you use only a single iscsi and use these 4 ports for the same single VMkernel interface?

• A few questions about integration between POET and EBS

  Hi you
  I am a new bie BIEE. In those days, have a look at the POET architecture and BIEE components. In the next project, there is some work on the development of POET based on request of the EBS. I have a few questions about integration:
  
  (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?
  
  (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?
  
  (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?
  
  (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?
  
  could someone give some pointers for me? I am very appreciated if you can also provide any other information.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  (1) generally, the POET application and database server is decentralized with application and database EBS? Both BIEE 10g and 11g version can be integrated with EBS R12?

  You shud look at OBI request here that uses OBIEE as a tool for reporting with pre-built modules. 10g & 11g comes with different versions of the applications of BI that supports sources such as Siebel CRM, EBS, Peoplesoft, JD Edwards, etc...

  (2) in the POET administration tool, the first step is to create arrays of physics. If the source application is EBS, is it still necessary to create the physical tables?

  His independent of any source. It comes to OBIEE modeling to create the RPD with all the layers. If you build from scratch, then you will need to create all layers else if BI Apps is used so you can get pre-built RPD and other pre-designed components.

  (3) if the physical creation of tables is needed, how to transfer data from the source of BSE BIEE physical tables tables? What ETL tool is preferred for most of developers? generator for warehouse or Oracle data integration?

  BI apps comes with ETL pre-built mapping to use with the tools majorly with Informatica. Only applications BI 7.9.5.2 comes with ODI, but oracle has the intention of having only ODI for any other versions.

  (4) during the data transfer phase, there are many many large data to transfer, how to keep the entire? for example, it must transfer 1 million lines of source to physical tables BIEE database, when 50% is completed, users try to open the POET report, they can see the new data of 50% on the reports? is there some transaction in phase control ETL?

  User will see still old data because its good enable Cache and serving it after each load.

• Questions about close cache events and the defeat strategy "ALL".

  I use near cache, and try to determine what defeat strategy would be better for me. My cards before being highly volatile, I'm considering strongly using the strategy of "EVERYTHING" for at least some of my caches.
  
  This brings me some questions about the event cache stream closely when the strategy using ALL:
  
  (1) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an element is added? (i.e. putAll() called cache before)
  (2) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an item is deleted? (i.e. remove() called cache before)
  (3) should I expect an event to be published from the back cover when an element is expelled from the rear because of size constraints?
  (4) should I expect an event to appear from the back cover when an element is expelled from the rear due to the expiry?

  Hi Tom,

  near cache before cards do not store the entries inserted in the back cover, so if you have saved a listener on the front plane, you will get the notification to the listener on the plan before all the inserts in the back cover of other nodes.

  It's a little different for entries that have been asked by the local node through the near cache (not directly on the distributed back cache). If the cache almost didn't get call so far, then they will not go into the front plane, so it's the same as if inserted directly into the back cover. It is the starting of the near cache behavior. After the first EEG puts will be cached in the front plane. Once that puts is cached in the front plane, then the listener before card will see put through the cache close to the same node, but not of other nodes.

  Also, the cache near registers a listener lite, so it becomes not the input values changed, as the keys.

  A listener that you entered on the back cover will see each insertion, if you do not save a MapEventFilter or a MapEventTransformer custom with the listener. A MapEventFilter can filter inserts away (I think, the cache similar to that, too).

  Best regards

• Question about recommended Lightroom library and configuration of the synchronization

  I move to a Windows workstation for my main machine from my Mac. I install Lightroom on it as my main photo management software. My library is currently stored in iCloud library on my Mac, and it syncs with my iPhone and iPad in iCloud. What would be the best solution to make my pictures my Windows workstation PC and sync them with my iOS devices? Should I leave them in iCloud photo library, synchronize with my PC, and then catalog them in Lightroom, or should I move them to iCloud library directly imported and stored in Lightroom and then synchronize Lightroom with my iOS devices? Can Lightroom for iOS also copy photos since iOS Photos and in the case I need to use the iOS library selector in other applications? Thank you!

  Hi mallardnathan,

  In order to use Lightroom on the Windows Machine without any problem, we suggest to remove your iCloud photo library images and move it completely on windows, where machine, you can add your images in Lightroom.

  Whether you plan to use Lightroom as your main Photo management software, you should be aware of what Lightroom does not store your images in it like your other software.

  You can synchronize your images from your desktop to the iOS device to make changes, you can add images from the photo library of iOS and synchronize on the Lightroom on your desktop.

  It will be useful.

  Kind regards

• Question about configuration VSA and vCenter

  Hi guys,.

  We just received our three new servers which will run a VSA 3 nodes configuration on a remote location.

  I am thinking the vCenter Server computer in our office that will be responsible for configuring VSA. What until occur if the vCenter server disconnects (for some reason), it will be still operational?

  Best regards Johan

  Failover VSA is completely independent of VSA Manager/VC.  If you lose the VC, the only thing you can't do is to manage the cluster

• Portege R700-1hd: Questions about HARD drive replacement and passwords

  I have a 1hd R700 with 320 GB HARD drive in stock. I want to upgrade it to 500 GB. This update should be pretty simple, cloning from the old to the new.

  However, I was wondering about the HARD drive password / finger.
  My HARD drive it configured to use a fingerprint/password on boot - I guess that it is involved in the BIOS and the drive itself, but I'm not exactly sure how.
  I think the HARD drive itself is locked, it is not a Windows or BIOS password.

  If I change the HARD drive will still be able to use startup disk HARD password/fingerprint? Are there requirements for material of HARD drive I need to consider before buying new HARD drive? As should be a specific type of HARD drive to work with password disk HARD/fingerprint digital?

  Thank you

  Hi bullerd,

  The HARD drive password is stored on the HARD drive so when you replace the HARD drive you must set a new password of HDD in BIOS. The password is not stored in the BIOS. In addition fingerprints can also be stored on the HARD drive or let s say fingerprint digital software but all of the operating system must be installed after Exchange HARD drive so it s new problem.

  So the two passwords you mentioned are stored on the HARD drive so it s no problem to swap the HARD drive. :)

• Qosmio G20: Question about networking & monitor in and Xbox

  Just bought a G20 last week and I'm in love. First laptop I've ever owned and its worth every penny.

  A few scarecrows.

  I never received an antenna adapter to connect my in arial, but I'm sure I sohuld of fact. In the quick start manual of what it listed everything that I should received in the pack, and who was listed. Was not enough one - if anyone knows a number to contact Toshiba and get one of these sent to me? Can't seem to find one anywhere.

  Second... I'm going to my brother's computer network. Novice course of network, it does not work that well. I'm not sure whether if we need a router? I just want to connect to his computer and use the internet through that. As you would with a network cable. So he bought himself a wireless network card... but we'll be buggered if we can get it too work. Any advice or a definitive guide... or do we this router after all?

  And thirdly, sorry for the long post, but I'm playing my Xbox by the G20, but I'm having no luck what so ever. I plugged the monitor using the three composite cards (white, yellow and red) but nothing that passes through. The only way I've seen a photo is when you set up a decoder and it happens in a small box when its analyses for channels... but I can't select to see and it seems s delay 1 second.

  Sorry for the post long-term... just try to make it all sorted.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  You are right that the Qosmio is a very nice unit.
  But I'm not sure about the antenna adapter. I found the information in the user manual that the antenna adapter is optional. In this case the adapter will not always come with the laptop, but you can ask that the Toshiba service partner.

  Well well, on the network connection: If you want to connect two computer, you need a crossover network cable if you don t use the router. In addition, two laptop computers must be in the same workgroup. In addition, you must manually set the IP address, the default gateway and the subnet mask in the internet protocol TCP/IP properties.

  On the Xbox:

• Questions about IDS 4.0 and 4.0 VEI

  I played with IDS/IDM/VEI 4.0 and so far, I am really impressed with the upgrade!

  A few questions/suggestions:

  (1) with IDM, to detect the signature configuration, is there a quick way to edit a particular number of signature? For example I mean tune signature 3041 - the only way I can find to do if I don't know the category is to collect all the signatures, then try to guess which page it's. I think that the previous version had a pop-up that listed the range of signatures on each page.

  (2) a Suggestion: in VEI, looking at a view, the first column is a group, and the second column contains the number of elements contained in this group. However, a double click on the first column does not give detail, only double clicking on column 2. It would be nice if the first column is also. (For example, for the severity level group, it would be nice to double-click on the word 'High' to see all the signatures of high status.)

  (3) is there a simple way to VEI or IDM to see connections have been blocked? It would be nice to have a summary paper when connections have been blocked and which IP addresses have been affected. It would also be groovy if it was shown in the VEI in the individual events (IE. Add a column 'Action' showing what decisions have been taken, as appropriate for each shot of signature)

  (4) is it possible to export the settings I changed default value? So far I've just kept a Notepad file that lists the signatures I've set in case I have to re - install. (And from the looks of it, upgrade to the latest signatures wiped out my block settings)

  (5) what is the difference between ShunHost & ShunConnection? The documentation does not really. And it is designed to work with IOS vs Pix fleeing?

  (6) the Docs for IDM imply that system variables can be used in the event filters, but when I try to apply the system IN variable for a filter, it won't let me so I have to type in logical addresses.

  That's all for now!

  I am pleased to hear that you like the new versions. My answers to some of these questions/comments I hope to improve your experience.

  (1) with IDM, to detect the signature configuration, is there a quick way to edit a particular number of signature? For example I mean tune signature 3041 - the only way I can find to do if I don't know the category is to collect all the signatures, then try to guess which page it's. I think that the previous version had a pop-up that listed the range of signatures on each page.

  ANSWER: not at the moment. We have heard this feature of multiple users request. A future version 4.0 is already planned to bring back the feature 3.1 (announcement of the signature by page range). Cannot comment on when this version will be released.

  An alternative until then would be to select the option to view all transmissions on the page (it will take a while to load), then use the search button in your browser to take you to the line for the signature.

  (2) a Suggestion: in VEI, looking at a view, the first column is a group, and the second column contains the number of elements contained in this group. However, a double click on the first column does not give detail, only double clicking on column 2. It would be nice if the first column is also. (For example, for the severity level group, it would be nice to double-click on the word 'High' to see all the signatures of high status.)

  ANSWER: I'll pass it on the developers.

  (3) is there a simple way to VEI or IDM to see connections have been blocked? It would be nice to have a summary paper when connections have been blocked and which IP addresses have been affected. It would also be groovy if it was shown in the VEI in the individual events (IE. Add a column 'Action' showing what decisions have been taken, as appropriate for each shot of signature)

  ANSWER: IDM manual locking tab will provide you with the current block list as allow you to add blocks or remove existing blocks.

  It's called 'Manual blocking' but it will also show you the current 'automatic blocking' (you may switch to another screen IDM, and then return to be refreshed with the latest red list)

  http://www.Cisco.com/univercd/CC/TD/doc/product/iaabu/csids/csids9/idmiev/swchap5.htm#195940

  Also, you can run the line "view events" to show you what the blocks have been tried. If I remember correctly, the events to see the line you would be: "view the events of the NAC" where the time and date is the entrance earlier you want to display. (NOTE: NAC = Network Access Controller - replacement for managed in the new sensor V4.0).

  I recommend playing with the different possibilities to show events to see the different information that the sensor can bring in the new CLI.

  In addition, the attempted action is now included in the alarm itself and IEV should have a column IPLOG, SHUN and TCP Reset show what action was attempted. You check the settings, and then make sure that you have these selected columns is displayed in your view. (The actions attempts are visible when looking at individual alarms and not all summary windows)

  (4) is it possible to export the settings I changed default value? So far I've just kept a Notepad file that lists the signatures I've set in case I have to re - install. (And from the looks of it, upgrade to the latest signatures wiped out my block settings)

  CLI the commmands to check:

  more current-config - gives a style CLI listing the configuraiton, under the area of virtualSensor, it shows you just changes to the signatures rather than see the definition of default full signature.

  Copy current-config config backup - backups your current config in a storage space on the sensor itself

  Copy current-config - allows you to save your configuration to the location. The location could be an ftp server, or scp.

  Example:

  copy @10.1.1.1/config-backups/sensor1-config ftp://usercurrent config

  (5) what is the difference between ShunHost & ShunConnection? The documentation does not really. And it is designed to work with IOS vs Pix fleeing?

  Shun host creates the following ACL entry:

  refuse any ip

  SO it blocks all packets from the source.

  Shun connection on the otherhand creates the following ACL entry

  (NOTE: I am doing this out of memory so I'm not entirely because of my response below, you may need to test to know for sure):

  refuse eq

  SO it blocks only the packets from the source to the ip of the victim who go to the same port where the attack occurred.

  NOTE: Multiple connections to the same srcip Shun may cause the glines being combined into a single host Shun to prevent that IP to fill your ACL list.

  Regarding IOS vs PIX. The above commands are for IOS. Similar entries can be seen with the command "run away" from the Pix, but no matter what you enter with the command "run away" from the Pix, he will always shun the entire source ip address. So if you Shun connections with a Pix command "escape" has other information, but the Pix will always shun the sourceip together.

  (6) the Docs for IDM imply that system variables can be used in the event filters, but when I try to apply the system IN variable for a filter, it won't let me so I have to type in logical addresses.

  Looks like maybe it's a bug.

• question about configuration transfer 4402 WLC

  Hello

  Nope! many new features is different in the code! the best way is to upgrade the WLC 4.2 to atleast 5.2 and more... coz the format of config backup is completely different in the two entities...

• Question about the memory consumed and active

  I have esx4.1 on three dl585 running. I have about 100 active vm running, and I have a small question.

  My vm is all 2008 r2 datacenter and I gave them 1 cpu and 4 GB of ram. When I recover a single virtual machine and look at the summary page, I see the bones of memory consumed host 4075 mb and the active guest memory 81 MB operating system. My question is can I reduce the host cunsumed memory to 2 GB without noticing a difference within the virtual machine?

  It looks like you can.   To be absolutely sure that you'd need monitor assets long enough to have a good idea of what the average is and what are the tops.

• Questions about ESX + UPS Solutions and soft stop

  Hello everyone.  I am very new to VMWare, so please pardon my beginner questions and I hope I have posted this in the correct location.

  I am currently working as a developer for Tripp Lite.  Our companion based on SNMP ups (UPS) software product is the sequel to PowerAlert, and I received a few days worth of time to do more research on the possibility of supporting VMWare ESX/ESXi and stop the server.  I did some research on this last month, where I found the scripts by William Lam and an alternative SSH (http://vmwaretips.com/wp/2009/01/16/mass-vm-shutdown-script/).

  I understand there are a few methods scripted to make judgment, which one can be found here: http://viops.vmware.com/home/docs/DOC-1341.  A second solution is to install APC PowerChute interface (available only on ESXi?) command line.

  The main issues I have at the moment are:

  1 can all install VIMA?  Is a closure that installs on VIMA and runs from this platform a viable, or is the command-line support interface option a must - have for the general user base?  VIMA and the developer (http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vima/vima10/doc/vima10guide.pdf) Administrator's Guide leads me to believe that anyone can install VIMA, and that it just comes not preinstalled on servers that are provided with the interface of the console.

  2 can. a person there will now be a licensing problem with the help of scripts to stop lamw? Speculate as to whether or not this issue affects most of the users? Initially, I found the related commentary here: http://www.engineering.ucsb.edu/~duonglt/vmware/ .  The comment was that a new revision of ESXi "may not allow write operations and require that the user purchases or licenses ESXi to take full advantage of the API of VI (read/write).  William Lam also said in another forum thread, "" If you use at least allowed Foundation or ESX classic, then this script will work. ". Please take a look at the documentation for more details. "What documentation is specifically intended and where I could see him again?

  3. the VIMA Administrator's and Developer's Guide also shows you get a 64-bit Enterprise Linux when you install VIMA.  Does anyone know which kernel version is it? (I'm not any kind of expert on Linux kernels.)  The APC Linux software seems to be installable on the interface of the console; What kernel and the kernel version that would be based on?

  It is type of a crazy thought, but in cases where the stop scripts will not work due to license issue, any who would consider even install on all virtual machines stop SNMP agent software and the configuration of the inverter to launch the stop on all virtual machines? (as an alternative to buying the ESX license...)   Or all the virtual machines share the same IP address?

  Thanks in advance for reading and review.  The answers, suggestions, links etc. are much appreciated.

  (1) Yes, VMware VIMA is a free VAPP (Virtual Appliance), it is currently sinking a stripped down RHEL 5.2 x 86-64, it comes on pre-installation with the VI Perl Toolkit & RCLI (renamed to become vSphere SDK for Perl & vCLI) that uses the API VMware SDK and to communicate with hosts to vCenter/ESX (i)

  (2) the license situation is also explained here http://vmetc.com/2009/03/31/esxi-u4-ends-free-version-read-and-write-access-from-the-rcli/ this is something vs VMware licenses something with my scripts, you also have some alternatives, including VMware VIX http://communities.vmware.com/thread/205815

  with the release of vSphere, a new version of vMA should also be discontinued which has some changes, but the underlying system of RHEL is exactly the same.

  Currently, the ideal situation is to be able to install some type of management on VMware VIMA/vMA agent to monitor your UPS device, whatever that may be, and then use the VMware API to properly host and the VM (s) to stop. To be able to do this, you will need your ESX/ESXi product to be certified at least the license to the Foundation, otherwise the VI API is only read-only which means that you will not be able to perform all the operations that are useful against the VM (s) or guests. If you are looking to develop a management agent that will install on VMware which is probably an interesting feature of the 3rd part, I consider to communicate with VMware and more information as a partner. You can also develop your product on ubuntu or any UNIX/LINUX OS open and distribute a paralytic that can run out of the box after download.

  The real witch hunt, this is how you'll be powering down of the VM (s) / hosts and even once, ideally, we would like to use the VI API, but you'll be govered by the VMware licensing policy and this is how you sell your product in order to ensure that your customers use at least the Foundation license and can not only use the FREE ESXi version and use your UPS utility and expect it to work.

  I hope this puts you in the right direction =)
