Softlayer - list of servers which are powered on

The following java code lists all the bare metal servers in softlayer for a specific SL account and filters for servers which are powered on (e.g. powerState='on'.
public void listServers(Account.Service service, ApiClient client) throws Exception {
service.withMask().hardware().fullyQualifiedDomainName().primaryIpAddress();
service.withMask().hardware().hardwareStatus();
service.withMask().hardware().id();
Account account = service.getObject();
//
// list of softlayer servers for the client account
//
for (Hardware hardware : account.getHardware()) {
String hostname = hardware.getFullyQualifiedDomainName();
String hardwareStatus = (hardware.getHardwareStatus() == null) ? null : hardware.getHardwareStatus().getStatus();
Long serverId = hardware.getId();
String powerState = null;
if (serverId != null) {
Hardware.Service hardwareService = Hardware.service(client, serverId);
hardwareService.setMask("mask[serverPowerState");
try {
powerState = hardwareService.getServerPowerState();
} catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error, cannot get powerState, hostname=" + hostname + ", msg=" + ex.getMessage());
}
}
System.out.println("Hostname=" + hostname + ", hwStatus=" + hardwareStatus + ", powerState=" + powerState);
}
}
Code seems to work, but for at least one of the servers, it fails on the call to hardwareService.getServerPowerState()
"Unable to establish IPMI v2 / RMCP+ session".
Any ideas why this is failing ?

How to get all the queues and topics from solace

I want to discover all the destinations from solace (queues and topics)
I tried using MBeanServerConnection and query after names (but I didn't find a proper way to use this) or JNDI lookups Destination dest = (Destination) context.lookup(Dest_name), but I don't have the names of the queues/topics.
I am using solace - jms library.
I am searching for smth like this: (but for solace, not activeMq)
get all Queue from activeMQ

You will need to make use of SEMP over the management interface for this.
Sample commands:
curl -d '<rpc><show><queue><name>*</name></queue></show></rpc>' -u semp_username:semp_password http://your_management_ip:your_management_port/SEMP
curl -d '<rpc><show><topic-endpoint><name>*</name></topic-endpoint></show></rpc>' -u semp_username:semp_password http://your_management_ip:your_management_port/SEMP
Note that I'm using curl for simplicity, but any application can perform HTTP POSTs to execute these commands.
If you are using Java, you can refer to the SempHttpSetRequest sample found within the Solace API samples.
Documentation on SEMP can be found here.
However, the larger question here is why do you need to discover all destinations?
One of the features of the message broker is to decouple the publishers and consumers.
If you need to know if your persistent message is being published to a topic with no consumers, you can make use of the reject-msg-to-sender-on-no-subscription-match setting in the publishing application's client-profile.
This means that the publisher will obtain a negative acknowledgement in the event that it tries to publish a message on a topic that has no matching subscribers.
You can refer to "Handling Guaranteed Messages with No Matches" at https://docs.solace.com/Configuring-and-Managing/Configuring-Client-Profiles.htm for further details.

Here is some source code that might help. With the appliance configured correctly, SEMP is also available over JMS on topic "#SEMP/(router)/SHOW".

You can get message VPN specific queues and topics using following SEMPv2 command.
curl -s -X GET -u semp_user:semp_pass management_host:management_port/SEMP/v2/monitor/msgVpns/{vpn-name}/queues?select="queueName"
curl -s -X GET -u semp_user:semp_pass management_host:management_port/SEMP/v2/monitor/msgVpns/{vpn-name}/topicEndpoints?select="topicEndpointName"

Find ip address of a device

I can't find the ip address of a device connected to my network. I tried using network interface, but only gives me the loopback address and my pc address; the code that i used is:
try
{
Enumeration<NetworkInterface> n = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
for (; n.hasMoreElements();)
{
NetworkInterface e = n.nextElement();
System.out.println("Interface: " + e.getName());
Enumeration<InetAddress> a = e.getInetAddresses();
for (; a.hasMoreElements();)
{
InetAddress addr = a.nextElement();
System.out.println(" " + addr.getHostAddress());
}
}
}catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
Also, i used PrintServiceLookup,but the methods of that class doesn't give the ip address (the device is a card printer); the code that i used is:
PrintService[] services = PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(null, null);
System.out.println("Printer Services found:");
printService(services);
PrintService service = PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
if (service!=null) {
System.out.println("Default Printer Service found:");
System.out.println(service);
}
private static void printService(PrintService[] services) {
if (services!=null && services.length>0) {
for (int i = 0; i < services.length; i++) {
System.out.println(services[i]);
}
}
}
Anyone has a different point of view or perspective to solve the issue?

NetworkInterface.getInetAddresses() is used to return the local IP address of the network adaptor, hence the reason you are seeing loopback and your primary IP.
It's not possible to enumerate devices on the network in this way. You may need to look into something like SNMP.

How to determine which network is used when the device connects to internet

So far I have tried to do this by using RadioInfo class to verify which network is on and check if there are any changes in RadioInfo.getNumberOfPacketsReceived()\Sent(), but this approach is useless if more then one network is on. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Sorry for the spelling and grammar, English is not my first language.

You need to append your connection type after your URL.
public static String getConnectionString() {
String connectionString = null;
// Simulator behaviour is controlled by the USE_MDS_IN_SIMULATOR
// variable.
if (DeviceInfo.isSimulator()) {
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
}
// Wifi is the preferred transmission method
else if (WLANInfo.getWLANState() == WLANInfo.WLAN_STATE_CONNECTED) {
connectionString = ";interface=wifi";
}
// Is the carrier network the only way to connect?
else if ((CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_DIRECT) {
String carrierUid = getCarrierBIBSUid();
if (carrierUid == null) {
// Has carrier coverage, but not BIBS. So use the carrier's TCP
// network
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
} else {
// otherwise, use the Uid to construct a valid carrier BIBS
// request
connectionString = ";deviceside=false;connectionUID="+carrierUid + ";ConnectionType=mds-public";
}
}
// Check for an MDS connection instead (BlackBerry Enterprise Server)
else if ((CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() & CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_MDS) {
connectionString = ";deviceside=false";
}
// If there is no connection available abort to avoid hassling the user
// unnecssarily.
else if (CoverageInfo.getCoverageStatus() == CoverageInfo.COVERAGE_NONE) {
connectionString = "none";
}
// In theory, all bases are covered by now so this shouldn't be reachable.But hey, just in case ...
else {
connectionString = ";deviceside=true";
}
return connectionString;
}
/**
* Looks through the phone's service book for a carrier provided BIBS
* network
*
* #return The uid used to connect to that network.
*/
private synchronized static String getCarrierBIBSUid() {
ServiceRecord[] records = ServiceBook.getSB().getRecords();
int currentRecord;
for (currentRecord = 0; currentRecord < records.length; currentRecord++) {
if (records[currentRecord].getCid().toLowerCase().equals("ippp")) {
if (records[currentRecord].getName().toLowerCase()
.indexOf("bibs") >= 0) {
return records[currentRecord].getUid();
}
}
}
return null;
}
Once you writtent this code. use
con = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(url + getConnectionString());
It will determine available network type .

get the common mac addresses on mac os using java

I'm building a java application that gets the mac addresses of a user and compare it with the correspondent value in the database(security feature). but the problem happens on mac os when i discovered that the list of mac addresses has common values(ex: on my mac the list of mac addresses are: 001C42000009,001C42000008,E0F8474267B6(wifi),70CD60F1A5C1(ethernet))
Is there a way to know all these common values that will result when getting the Mac address on Mac os.
Thank you.

At http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/public.html you can lookup a vendor using first 3 bytes of the MAC address, 00-1C-42 points to "Parallels, Inc." (http://www.parallels.com). Are you using some of their virtualization software? Try what java.net.NetworkInterface.isVirtual() returns for this address, if that is not useful then some ugly filter may require (e.g. based on address pattern)
import java.net.NetworkInterface;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class NetworkInterfaceTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
Enumeration<NetworkInterface> ie = NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces();
while (ie.hasMoreElements()) {
NetworkInterface i = ie.nextElement();
System.out.println(i.getDisplayName() + " [" + i.getName() + "]: " + formatAddress(i.getHardwareAddress()) + "; isVirtual=" + i.isVirtual());
}
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static String formatAddress(byte[] address) {
if (address == null) {
return null;
}
StringBuilder ret = new StringBuilder(address.length * 2);
for (byte b : address) {
if (ret.length() > 0) {
ret.append('-');
}
String bs = Integer.toHexString(b & 0x000000FF).toUpperCase();
if (bs.length() < 2) {
ret.append('0');
}
ret.append(bs);
}
return ret.toString();
}
}

i believe something like this will do the work for you
try {
InetAddress []addresses = InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName());
/*
* Get NetworkInterfaces for current host and read hardware addresses.
*/
for(int j=0; j< addresses.length; i++) {
System.out.format("%02X%s", mac[i], (i < addresses.length – 1) ? "-" : "");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
