Active/passive HA comments with shared vmdk

I have 2 ESXi host with a vmfs on iSCSI SAN.

I want to install 2 identical VM on each host suite HR cluster in active/passive mode.

I intend to set up the two VM with a disc 'private' for the base OS/APP installation and a 'common' one disk for data

managed by the services that are configured in active/passive mode (for example, MySQL, OpenLDAP).

The goal is that when the master virtual machine fails (because of true judgment of breach or ESXi host simpleVM), the slave VM built the commune

VMDK and starts the cluster services.

I've read a few articles on the possibility of sharing a vmdk disk so the solution seems possible.

Is there someone who has used such a configuration?

TIA,

Guido

An alternative is to create a network of VM for iSCSI (depending on your SAN topology, you must also 2 storage networks).

Then, you can add this network to the virtual computer, install the initiator software and set it up as a physical machine.

  • IPS modules in the ASA config for active/passive failover

    Hey guys,.

    We have two ASA in a situation of active/passive failover each with a module AIP-SSM-20 IPS.

    These modules are intended to synchronize their configs like the ASA do? Alternatively, they each have a separate entity and each need to be configured separately?

    Thanks for any help!

    Each will have their own IP address, and each must be configured separately.

    They will not communicate with each other and share no configuration.

    You will need to make sure the config is changed in one of the other.

    Monitoring station pull events from two sensors.

    The SSMs rely on the SAA for the TCP state tracking so they will work very well in a design of failover ASA.

  • In Active/Passive Mode Radius server configuration

    We set up (active/active) the two ASA load balancing.  We also configure two Radius servers with load balancing.  At present, the Radius servers are configured with active/active.  Is it possible to configure a Radius Server with (active/passive)?

    RADIUS protocol Radius AAA server
    AAA-server Radius (inside) host XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
    Timeout 300
    key *.
    RADIUS-common-pw *.

    Thank you.

    Diane,

    Well I'm still not 100% sure that you understand exactly what is happening. Normally, on a single ASA, authentication is always performed on the same radius server until it fails (i.e. active/passive as you call it).

    Now, you mention that you have 2 ASAs in load balancing, so I don't know if you mean that:

    (1) 2 users that connect to the same ASA get authenticated by radius 2 servers different (should never happen)

    or

    (2) when 2 users connect to the cluster, user1 gets redirected to ASA1 and authenticated on Radius1, while User2 will be redirected to ASA2 using Radius2 to auth. This could be normal if both ASAs are set up differently (defined in a different order radius servers) or an ASA had a problem connecting to Radius1, at some point and so it considered out of service.

    In any case, 'sh aaa-server protocol radius' and 'debug RADIUS' can help determine why an asa individual does not use (initially configured) primary radius server.

  • Is it possible to install oracle fail-safe-kind-of (active-passive) SAN replication for oracle?

    Dear Experts,

    Is it possible to configure replication of SAN (active-passive) integrated security for oracle for oracle?

    To get the RTO < 60 seconds

    • If the primary host fails, the remote site should have the option to start the oracle database.
    • Sites are geographically remote.

    SAN storage replication, can it be used in my scenario?

    • I have no option to implement oracle Data Guard as its very expensive.

    Is that what someone achieved something similar with SAN storage replication?

    • I have oracle SE.
    • It is obvious that the all-flash backup can be quick.

    What should be the strategy to have DR site get a few seconds, if the primary site failed for some reason any

    • Daily incremental backup with RMAN. And archive backup runs for every 1 minutes
    • To have the site of DR upward and running within 60 seconds, it still requires too much time to restore the database on remote site and have archive APPLIED setpoint
    • What could be the solution with san replication? RTO is 60 seconds

    Thanks and greetings

    SAN storage replication, can it be used in my scenario?

    I have no option to implement oracle Data Guard as its very expensive.

    --> If you want to use the data that it is free of CHARGE, additional license is not required for normal data guard

    --> additional license is only for the ADG

    Is that what someone achieved something similar with SAN storage replication?

    I have oracle SE.

    It is obvious that the all-flash backup can be quick.

    --> Here, I understand that if oraclle EA is going to be expensive

    --> Again, you can use manual standby

    --> What you are looking for SAN replication, you will need to check with the storage vendor

    --> If your intention is to check with oracle storage, then this may be the correct discussion room

  • What is active/active and active/passive

    Hi all

    What is the difference between active/active and active/passive in the configuration of the DR?

    What are the advantages and disadvantages?

    Please suggest entries to learn more. Provide also available documents.

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards

    Probably, you want to know the benefits of active dataguard and dataguard 'normal '.

    With active dataguard relief database can be opened read-only, and updates are applied to the primary real-time.

    With normal dataguard the standby database is installed and update are applied but if you open the database in read-only mode, no updates will be applied.  You must put the database in managed for updates to apply recovery mode.

    Clearly, the advantage is that you can use the database Eve with active dataguard for various purposes such as reporting in real time.

    However, active dataguard is an option under license and do not pay for it.

    If your situation is unique, realistically, this means that you will have to do a lot of work on the ground. You have to read the documentation. You're going to have to understand all the options available, not just look at the "quick start" guide You have to develop the scripts you need for your specific environment.

    Honestly, I'm miles to figure out exactly what you're trying to build. I see that you seem to try to combine a Frankenstein monster using a variety of different technologies, but the high-level architecture escapes me. Now, there may be good reasons for this. You tell us to accept this fact, so I did. But once you decide we have to accept that you do something quite unique with an architecture that nobody has ever tried it before, you must agree that you should give up the desire to rely on quick start guides and people you will find in the forums to help out you. You build something quite unique. You need scripts, totally unique. You need to read a ton of documentation to know how to get all the disparate elements together. You will need to experiment.

    Think of it as buying a car. If you want to buy a standard vehicle type, others can help you choose some standard templates to use. If you want to carry things, people can help you choose a suitable truck. If you have a bunch of kids, people can help you to choose a proper van. If you choose a standard architecture, we can probably help you to implement.

    If, however, you decide that you want to build a vehicle fully custom from the ground because you decide that your needs are sufficiently unique to justify this, then you will have to solve problems much more. If you want to try to combine the engine of a Ford pickup with the exhaust of a Toyota sedan and add a block custom and make cooking oil engine, you will encounter a number of problems that no one else has met him. This means that you will have to do a lot of steps to work through these problems. Similarly, if you need a unique hybrid technology, we cannot reasonably is toward literature and wish you good luck because you will have to do a lot of reading and experimenting to get something like this to work.

    It seems that you hope you can build something unique without doing more work than if you were going to build something completely standard. You agree that this is not possible. If you want to implement something quite unique, you have to make yourself an expert in the inner workings of a bunch of different technologies.

  • AppSync with shared network Thinapps

    A few questions about Appsync with shared network applications.

    I have 5 Windows XP systems that install everything to run the thinapp (Office 2007 Std) from the network share. In the package.ini I put the thinapp to check an update every time it launches, do not know if it is better, only to set it there so I could control the start of the update. I created a new version of my thinapp with some modifications, including activation of Powerpoint, which was not initially enabled. I then pushed the new version in the directory specified in AppSyncURL in the package.ini and then ran the thinapp one of 5 systems. I looked at the updated thinapp (via the new file in the directory creation) but it seems to be stopped once the new files have been copied, I assumed it was because the other guests were linking the same thinapp, so I closed the thinapp on all 5 systems and reopened on one, after a few minutes that the update has been completed, including the activation of PowerPoint. When I ran the thinapp on other systems of all the new changes came with the exception of PowerPoint being activated. I guess that's because the thinreg update portion was only executed on the original system which began the update. My reasoning is correct? Would be the best way to solve this problem, configure something in a login script or a GPO to re-run thinreg necessary?

    Next part of surpass push to use thinapp was to save space, we intend to use it with VDI images gold hopfully have a SAN reduced foot print as migrate us our users in general for physical machines to VMS. Currently, we don't have a policy that requires users to disconnect during the night, normally when you deploy updates from traditional applications a message is sent by the app said the world team to make sure and disconnect. While we still might do in the future with thinapp hoping updates be more transparent for the user. But based on the above test it looks that updates will not fully applied to a set until all users are out of this.

    While this logic sence I want to just make sure I'm not missing something, is there a better way to update the shared applications? Or I'll better just install them locally on the machine, possilbly as part of a gold statue.

    Hi Roybfr,

    I want to share my knowledge on App Sync with the same example with which you asked the query. I will answer your questions in 2 sections. One for the process of AppSync and other for VDI computers desktop and thinapps residing on them.

    Section of AppSync: -.

    1. If you have desktop Thiinapped 2 k 7 kept one a network share and the version update of office 2 k 7 (which has been configured to enable the PowerPoint) stored on the Web server.

    2. you have 5 office machines.

    3 suppose that you launch the thinapp 2 k 7 on the desktop sharing network 1.

    4. once launch you the thinapp 2 k 7 Desktop 1, appsync process is launched and the .ase files are named and has started, updated on the network share.

    5. in the middle of the appsync process which began by launching the 2 k 7 packet on the network share, stop the appsync process by closing the exe launched from Office 1.

    6. now launch the 2 k 7 on the network share from office 2. Once you launch the office 2 k 7 2 office package, AppSync process is started from when he was arrested and not from the beginning.

    7. let all to update completely .ase files until they become the size of thinapped version updated, maintained on the web server.

    8. now do not revive the thinapped 2 k 7 2 office package.

    9. If you launch the thinapped 2 k 7 exe on the network share from office 3 you will get the message to update Appsync (that you defined in the file package.ini) and now the version update of office 2 k 7 will be launched. This means that now the network share has the version update of office 2 k 7.

    10. now, if you launch the office 2 k 7 on the network share Desktop 4 and 5, you will get the updated office version.

    11 but to get the same version of update to office 1 to disconnect, and then start the 2 k 7 packet on the network share

    12 office 2 stimulus package on the network share and you'll get the version update of office 2 k 7

    Conclusion: -.

    1. AppSync can be initiated by the launch of the thianpp on the network sharing of any of desktop computers

    2. once the AppSync is completed, the new version will be available (.ase will be converted into the updated version .exe) by raising the exe thinapp on the network share from the Office where the Appsync initiated or simply launch the exe thinapp by the remaining workstations where the thinapp on the network share was never launched.

    3. the configuration you made on the updated version is maintained on the web server will not pulled / available on the network share if the appsync is successfully completed.

    4. If you want a specific configuration to be part of your update to Thinapp (which is stored on the web server, and pulled on the network share), you must use the "SbMerge" utility to make the configurations as version stored on the web server to update the part of you.

    5. Thus, create the updated version of the Thinapp, check the necessary configurations, apply overwhelm and rebuild the updated version of the thinapp. Then copy it to the web server. And then start the process of AppSync.

  • Using the odd drive with shared storage

    We have deployed a 15-node cluster with shared storage.  When we issue a df - h, we see the root filesystem and / mnt mounted file systems.

    We also see the file of each of the other systems the datanodes on the local storage of the each other.  For example...

    / mnt/SCSI-123abc is mounted on the server server01

    / mnt/SCSI-456def is mounted on server02

    Under/mnt on the server server01, we also see/mnt/scsi-456def under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

    Under/mnt on server02, we also see/mnt/scsi-123abc under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

    Is this a problem of storage configuration, or is this something that the BDE has decided when it deployed?

    Thank you

    Steve

    BTW, you can add your script hack or the scripts that I have provided in the /opt/serengeti/sbin/format-disk.py file in the node template, and then after that the empty cluster is created, the mount point/mnt/bigdata1... are there the/mnt/bigdataN.
