We are in the process of getting EMS for our Wise Package Studio 7 sp3. We were wondering if anyone had some documentation on guidelines for configuring the Software Manager/Software Repository/Package Distribution. Or if anyone had any documentation on this they would be willing to share.
Any and all help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Could anyone tell me about how much time it would take to convert an AIX system to run Storage Foundation. I'm trying to build a business case but need to figure out the deployment time for VxFS and VxVM, and Storage Foundation. I assume it would require at least one reboot of the AIX server plus a couple of hours to convert from the AIX LVM?

Major changes in the health care industry are almost certain as organizations drive toward greater electronic records management (EMR) efficiency and regulatory mandates loom on the horizon. Two counter-trends exist: a need to invest in infrastructure to meet the changes as well as the need to reduce long-term costs in the face of price pressure.
Symantec recently engaged Greg Schulz, Founder and Senior Analyst of Storageio, to examine the file serving requirements of healthcare organizations and the suitability of Storage Foundation Scalable File Server to meet those needs. In his findings, Schulz emphasized flexibility to meet unforeseen needs, performance to serve the large files that medical images create and “pay as you grow” affordability. To read the full report, go to Veritas Storage Foundation Scalable File Server (SFS) Solution Brief for Healthcare.

Hello guys, im deep in trouble.. hope someone can help me :)
Im working on a migration from a Solaris9/VxVM 3.5 to a Solaris10/VxVM 5.0 running SunCluster 3.2 , the data is being replicated between the storgaes using EMCs SRDF.
When i execute the split on the replication and try to import the DG onto the Cluster Servers i get the following error message:
# vxdg import prdsapdg
VxVM vxdg ERROR V-5-1-10978 Disk group prdsapdg: import failed:
No valid disk found containing disk group
I get the same error on both nodes ...
Is seems, somehow, that vxvm is not able to locate the private region on disks....
If use the same replicated disks to create a *new* DG i can get it work with no problem.....
Any suggestion???
Output from vxdisk list:
------------------------------
#vxdisk -e -o alldgs list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS OS_NATIVE_NAME ATTR
emc1_107a auto - (prddg) online...

I was asked for advise on how to recover from DRL log in STALE state.
More than 20 volumes look like this:
v lvscu - ENABLED ACTIVE 62914560 SELECT - fsgen
pl lvscu-01 lvscu ENABLED ACTIVE 62914560 CONCAT - RW
sd scpdg2-01 lvscu-01 scpdg2 528 62914560 0 SUN35100_9 ENA
pl lvscu-02 lvscu ENABLED ACTIVE 62914560 CONCAT - RW
sd scpdg1-01 lvscu-02 scpdg1 0 62914560 0 SUN35101_1 ENA
pl lvscu-03 lvscu ENABLED STALE LOGONLY CONCAT - WO
sd scpdg2-02 lvscu-03 scpdg2 0 528 LOG SUN35100_9 DET
sd scpdg2-02 on SUN35100_9 shows as being detached, but sd scpdg2-01 is enabled.
System owner has no idea how/when this happened.
Is there an easy way to fix this, or remove the log and re-add?

Sometimes you wonder how difficult the task of a Storage Administrator can be. Especially when you manage the environment consisting of Multivendor storage devices, Multiple Operating Systems, Heterogeneous servers, multiple applications and database. Suddenly the management asks you several questions regarding the storage, its utilization, its backup and there is no answer.
We begin to wonder that Is there a real solution for all these issues? Can Storage administration become easy? Would we be able to manage all the Storage Centrally? Can we get a real time replication of the storage? Would we be able to manage the storage efficiently and increase its performance? Would we be able to optimize the storage for read/write intensive applications? And above all everything in a single application or centralized management!!! All the above things sound difficult and at a time it seemed impossible. But all thanks to SYMANTEC Storage Foundation, life has not been the same. And to all...

I used to work as a part time consultant for a financial organization and have a very good expertise in handling storage devices. I have worked on many storage devices and storage management software’s. Using this experience, I am writing this article in which I would be featuring SYMANTEC Command Central and how it has helped in one of the environments. I would not only like to show how Symantec Command Central can help you save your Storage Space and make your Storage Utilization to its Maximum, but also show how Storage Management has become easy and how you can control Multi-Vendor storage at your finger tips
It has always been heard that Managing storage can become difficult and even complex when it comes to managing a heterogeneous Server environment and Multi-Vendor Storage Devices. But now I can really assure you that this is no more the problem with SYMANTEC Command Central. This is about an organization having multivendor storages. They had about 6 storage...

It would be a good Idea to add a site that users can use to cross referance with new Windows updates released and issues said updates could have on Symantec products.

In this video, I'm going to show you how easy it is take advantage of the Convert to Virtual feature found in Backup Exec System Recovery to convert a recovery point to a VMware virtual machine. I'll make changes within the virtual machine, and then restore it back to the physical computer using Symantec Recovery Disk, also part of Backup Exec System Recovery.
This entire process is sometimes known as P2V2P which stands for physical to virtual to physical.

A few weeks ago, a couple of my co-workers visited a workshop about a new course: ethical hacking. In short, it teaches system administrators how to try and hack your own system, to check it's vulnerabilities and find out whether your security needs working on. The course is also available for pretty much everyone else, but that on a side note.
When i heard about it, the only thing that sprung to my mind was "WTF??". Are we really going to TEACH people to hack, how to do it and what to do with it? Why not just build a program for it then? That would make things a lot easier: Microsoft Hacking 2007 or something, ofcourse licensed, but that would not be a problem, since - well it is a hacking tool, right?
As i remember in the good ol' days, hacking was staring at black screens, learning, adapting to what you found and working with that information. It was almost completely auto-didacted by people that wanted to know. That made hackers good system admins, if and when they...

Hi,
I'm new with SNAC. I have tested SNAC( + LAN enforcer) for wired LAN with cisco switch (3750), Microsoft Windows 2003 + IAS. It works fine but I can't extend NAC to wireless network. I use Cisco Aironet 1130AG which mode is autonomous. In SEP 11 Management Console, if I configure an action to OPEN PORT when successful, wireless client can switch to access vlan based on
Tunnel-Pvt-Group-id (set in IAS). But when I change this action to Switch to VLAN Access and disable VLAN attributes in IAS, Cisco Aironet can't change VLAN. While LAN Enforcer reports successfully in authentication, and in Aironet's web management, new event log is "Station xxxx.xxxx.xxxx authentication fail". Why is happened ? Does anyone has been successful in SNAC+ wireless network? Do you have any document, any guide how to integrate SNAC with cisco aironet wireless ( autonomous ) ? please send to me !
Thank you !

My sample: Settings for a Proxy server to IE, using MSI Editor from Wise Express (current DS 6.9).
This article is mainly for beginners in customization & repackaging, or for those do not want to be "packager" but need to do a little. This is taking a sample for IE setup a proxy, but you can apply for any configuration where you must change the "current user" registry.
E.g. to configure the Proxy settings for Internet Explorer, and use the server 192.168.100.200. Easy to find: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/819961, this seems very simple: just change the registry (HKCU = HKEY_CURRENT_USER). It is:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MigrateProxy"=dword:00000001
"ProxyEnable"=dword:00000001
"ProxyServer"="192.168.100.200:8080"
"ProxyOverride"="<local>"
Well, but now the problem is: the HKCU is volatile & must...
