I'm trying to print from Cache and I have setup the device, but keep getting a message that someone else is using it. this is RHEL 7.9. I have cups running and I can print from the command line.  I have also issued this command: lpadmin -p KM501L -u allow:all

what am I missing

thanks

Paul

Hi we are migrating to Linux from OpenVMS. which includes a new server and SAN. after reading a prior post about the differences with ESX and a VSAN I would think that the a SAN with Virtual disks all SSD type would be similar. which after reading it makes me think that using thick provisioning is the way to go. the 3rd party vendor is arguing this point with me.  is it the same premise?  is non-dedupe the way to go with thick provisioning.  we are currently on 2015.2 of Cache with the plans to go to 2018 until the app vendor is able to certify their product on the latest versin.

thanks

we are looking at replacing our VMS system with Linux :-( yes a sad day!

now the question has become should we go with Intel or AMD.  personally I think Intel is the way to go for several reasons.

has anyone seen or heard of an AMD being slower or there is a definite performance of one over the other.

thanks for your feedback.

Paul

 first our current environment which will be copied over to the new platform

Cache 2015.2 yes we are stuck here due to Vendor and no further support. with the upgrade we will be updating to a newer version of Cache and eventually IRIS when the vendor has certified it.

We have a machine that serves 4 instances of Cache on VMS systems, one of them is password protected and works fine as they all do. we decided we wanted something beefier and copied it to a server, well all but the one you have to login to works so 3 of the 4 do.  and the odd part is I can no longer get to the management page from anywhere on any machine, http://localhost/csp/bin/Systems/Module.cxw  I get a 404.8 error, I have tried adjusting security and same thing. and a server availability error.

If I create a link does root use it? (it’s in profile.d dir)

I'm trying to use a shortcut for a filepath as such: anyone have any thoughts?

PROCAUTO  = /JRNDSK/ProcAuto_share

yet in the application it isn't recognizing it.

Here’s the scenario. (link is in place) that my manager thinks maybe an issue.

login as cacheusr

sudo to root

Then start cache. Since this was started as root through cacheusr would cache know about the link? (since it’s running as root)

I'm just clarifying that 2017.1 is viable on 8.4-1H1. can someone please confirm, also what kind of support would we receive if we upgraded to 8.4-2L1?  I know that 2015.2 works on it. yet it says it's not supported. 

we really need to get to 8.4-2L1.  any help would greatly be appreciated.

thanks

looking for what the timeout value is for the connection for shadowing. and if it is known the timeout for mirroring also.

I'm currently getting this error and when we go to mirroring it would be good to know also, this way we can go back to our network vendor and give them as much info as possible.

10/19/16-12:19:40:696 (d30b6) 2 [SHADOWING] SHADOW SERVER (PRODSHAD): <ZREAD>ReadNone+3^SHDWUTIL;ERROR #1071: TCP read timed out - remote server is not responding (repeated 16 times)

thanks
