• Is there a (best practices concerning the) maximum volume of Appstack size?

  I can't find the specific recommendations on the maximum size of an appstack.

  We want to create a model of 50 GB or even more. Someone at - it experience with this scenario?

  The default size is 20GB, so if you want to create an appstack which is 50 GB you will need to create a new model with 50 GB of disk space.

  I've heard of writable volumes (not appstacks, I know, but still it's just as a reference) are large 100 GB. The maximum file size of the appstack, as far as I can see, is limited to the file size VMWare supports (somewhere in the terabytes? Anyone?). If my guess is that 50 GB should be easily achievable.

• Best practices of the NFS Volumes

  Hi guys,.

  Our netapp is on the way. After having dealt only with ISCSI until I was wondering how to do better for provisioning of volumes.

  For ISCSI, I tend to create volumes from 300 to 500 GB and I have separate data disks OS disks. I also tend to separate the development of production.

  I try to stick to 10 VM by volume as well.

  How do these things when NFS? I stick to the same volume sizes and rules of separation?

  What de-duplication, we should use it?

• Physically, move a server blade in a different location - best practices?

  Hello

  Is there a best practice to move a physical blade to another location?  I can't find a document about it.

  We want to move a slide to another location due to keep grouped similar environments but do not want to disassociate the profile.

  Can we just unassign, and then take it out and put in another location and let it automatically reactivate.  The profile will remain with the server?

  You say - associate profile and then re - associate profile again?

  Thank you

  A

  Hi Adrien,.

  Thank you for poining, I guess I wrote too soon.

  Yes it takes the decomission.

  Here are the steps to update:

  (1) shut down the operating system on the blade,

  (2) Disassocite the service profile, wait dissociate it in full (check the status on the WSF of the blade tab)

  (3) Decomission the blade of the UCSM (check the status on the tab of the WSF for the process)

  (4) to remove the blade from the current location,

  (5) move the blade into the slot again.

  (6) wait for blade to discover fully (even once, check the condition of the WSF of the blade tab), you may be required to validate / recognize the slot to accept the blade and trigger the discovery.

  7) once discovered associated with the profile back

  (8) start the dos operating system.

  I would check the documents and let you know.

• Best practices of a partition of HDD on Windowes Server2008 and Windowes 2012

  What is the best practice for partition of HDD on Windowes Server 2008 and 2012 Windowes

  Could be interesting to ask more http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winservergen/threads that you can get more answers.

  That said I would say that very much depends on what you intend to do with the server, and of course how much space you have available.

  For a general server I would probably go with two volumes, the C:\ drive for the file system and a second volume for your data, for example E:\. I recommend at LEAST 30 GB for the C:\, 40-50 GB preference, since updates, patches, etc will burn way over time and it's much easier to start big than to try to develop later.

  If you are running the Terminal Services, then you will probably need a larger C:\ amount as a large part of the user profile data is stored there in order to run lack of space fairly easily.

  As I said, it depends on what you do, how much space and disks you have available etc, it isn't really a one-size-fits-all answers.

• encoding issue "best practices."

  I'm about to add several command objects to my plan, and the source code will increase accordingly. I would be interested in advice on good ways to break the code into multiple files.

  I thought I had a source file (and a header file) for each command object. Does this cause problems when editing and saving the file .uir? When I run the Code-> target... file command, it seems that it changes the file target for all objects, not only that I am currently working on.

  At least, I would like to have all my routines of recall in one file other than the file that contains the main(). Is it a good/bad idea / is not serious? Is there something special I need to know this?

  I guess what I'm asking, what, how much freedom should I when it comes to code in locations other than what the editor of .uir seems to impose? Before I go down, I want to assure you that I'm not going to open a can of worms here.

  Thank you.

  I'm not so comfortable coming to "best practices", maybe because I am partially a self-taught programmer.

  Nevertheless, some concepts are clear to me: you are not limited in any way in how divide you your code in separate files. Personally, I have the habit of grouping panels that are used for a consistent set of functions (e.g. all the panels for layout tests, all the panels for execution of / follow-up... testing) in a single file UIR and related reminders in a single source file, but is not a rigid rule.

  I have a few common callback functions that are in a separate source file, some of them very commonly used in all of my programs are included in my own instrument driver and installed controls in code or in the editor of the IUR.

  When you use the IUR Editor, you can use the Code > target file Set... feature in menu to set the source file where generated code will go. This option can be changed at any time while developing, so ideally, you could place a button on a Panel, set a routine reminder for him, set the target file and then generate the code for this control only (Ctrl + G or Code > Generate > menu control reminders function). Until you change the target file, all code generated will go to the original target file, but you can move it to another source after that time.

• Dell MD3620i connect to vmware - best practices

  Hello community,

  I bought a Dell MD3620i with 2 x ports Ethernet 10Gbase-T on each controller (2 x controllers).
  My vmware environment consists of 2 x ESXi hosts (each with 2ports x 1Gbase-T) and a HP Lefthand (also 1Gbase-T) storage. The switches I have are the Cisco3750 who have only 1Gbase-T Ethernet.
  I'll replace this HP storage with DELL storage.
  As I have never worked with stores of DELL, I need your help in answering my questions:

  1. What is the best practices to connect to vmware at the Dell MD3620i hosts?
  2. What is the process to create a LUN?
  3. can I create more LUNS on a single disk group? or is the best practice to create a LUN on a group?
  4. how to configure iSCSI 10GBase-T working on the 1 Gbit/s switch ports?
  5 is the best practice to connect the Dell MD3620i directly to vmware without switch hosts?
  6. the old iscsi on HP storage is in another network, I can do vmotion to move all the VMS in an iSCSI network to another, and then change the IP addresses iSCSI on vmware virtual machines uninterrupted hosts?
  7. can I combine the two iSCSI ports to an interface of 2 Gbps to conenct to the switch? I use two switches, so I want to connect each controller to each switch limit their interfaces to 2 Gbps. My Question is, would be controller switched to another controller if the Ethernet link is located on the switch? (in which case a single reboot switch)

  Tahnks in advanse!

  Basics of TCP/IP: a computer cannot connect to 2 different networks (isolated) (e.g. 2 directly attached the cables between the server and an iSCSI port SAN) who share the same subnet.

  The corruption of data is very likely if you share the same vlan for iSCSI, however, performance and overall reliability would be affected.

  With a MD3620i, here are some configuration scenarios using the factory default subnets (and for DAS configurations I have added 4 additional subnets):

  Single switch (not recommended because the switch becomes your single point of failure):

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110

  Server 2:

  All ports plug 1 switch (obviously).

  If you only want to use the 2 NICs for iSCSI, have new server 1 Server subnet 130 and 131 and the use of the server 2 132 and 133, 3 then uses 130 and 131. This distributes the load of the e/s between the ports of iSCSI on the SAN.

  Two switches (a VLAN for all iSCSI ports on this switch if):

  NOTE: Do NOT link switches together. This avoids problems that occur on a switch does not affect the other switch.

  Controller 0:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> to switch 2

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> to switch 2

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> to switch 2

  Server 2:

  Same note on the use of only 2 cards per server for iSCSI. In this configuration each server will always use two switches so that a failure of the switch should not take down your server iSCSI connectivity.

  Quad switches (or 2 VLAN on each of the 2 switches above):

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.101-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.101-> at 4 switch

  Controller 1:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.102-> for switch 1

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.102-> to switch 2

  iSCSI port 2: 192.168.132.102-> switch 3

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.133.102-> at 4 switch

  Server 1:

  iSCSI NIC 0: 192.168.130.110-> for switch 1

  iSCSI NIC 1: 192.168.131.110-> to switch 2

  iSCSI NIC 2: 192.168.132.110-> switch 3

  iSCSI NIC 3: 192.168.133.110-> at 4 switch

  Server 2:

  In this case using 2 NICs per server is the first server uses the first 2 switches and the second server uses the second series of switches.

  Join directly:

  iSCSI port 0: 192.168.130.101-> server iSCSI NIC 1 (on an example of 192.168.130.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 1: 192.168.131.101-> server iSCSI NIC 2 (on an example of 192.168.131.110 IP)

  iSCSI port 4: 192.168.137.102-> server iSCSI NIC 8 (on an example of 192.168.137.110 IP)

  I left just 4 subnets controller 1 on the '102' IPs for more easy changing future.

• Is access to the DMZ on VPN best practices?

  Hello

  We have aDMZ which hosts comments wireless society and also installed on the same network of network security cameras. We must be able to access these security cameras remotely (from office) and one way to do that would be to include a network DMZ on your remote access VPN access. I don't know if this is a good/best practices since the same DMZ network also called Wireless on it.

  I think that since the security/DVR cameras is something private, they should be moved inside the network instead of on the DMZ.

  Could you please comment and suggest?

  Thank you.

  Yes! Move the inside security cameras and create another guest lan, do not use the demilitarized zone for the guests!

  DMZ must expose several services outside.

• Best practices for the restart of the nodes of the ISE?

  Hello community,

  I administer an ISE installation with two nodes (I'm not a specialist of the ISE, my job is simply to manage the user/mac-addresses... but now I have to move my ISE a VMWare Cluster nodes to another VMWare Cluster.

  (Both VMWare environments are connected to our network of the company, but are different environments. vMotion is not possible)

  I want to stop ISE02, move it to our new VMWare environment and start it again.

  That I could do this with our ISE01 node...

  Are there best practices to achieve this? (Stop request first, stopl replikation etc.) ?

  Can I really just reboot a node ISE - or I have consider something before I do this? After I did this?

  All tasks after reboot?

  Thanks for any answer!

  ISE01
  Administration, monitoring, Service policy
  PRI (A), DRY (M)

  ISE02
  Administration, monitoring, Service policy
  SEC (A), PRI (M)

  There is a lot to consider here.  If changing environments involves a change of IP address and IP extended, then your policies, profiles and DACL would also change among other things.  If this is the case, create a new VM ISE in the new environment in evaluation license using the and recreate the old environment deployment by using the address of the new environment scheme.  Then a new secondary node set rotation and enter it on the primary.  Once this is done, you can re - host license from your old environment on your new environment.  You can use this tool to re - host:

  https://Tools.Cisco.com/swift/LicensingUI/loadDemoLicensee?formid=3999

  If IP addressing is to stay the same, it becomes simpler.

  First and always, perform an operational backup and configuration.

  If the downtime is not a problem, or if you have a window of maintenance of an hour or so: just to close the two nodes.  Transfer to the new environment and light them, head node first, of course.

  If the downtime is a problem, stop the secondary node and transfer it to the new environment.  Start the secondary node and when he comes back, stop the main node.  Once that stopped services on the head node, promote the secondary node to the primary node.

  Transfer of the FORMER primary node to the new environment and turn it on.  She should play the role of secondary node.  If it is not the case, assign this role through the GUI.

  Remember, the proper way to shut down a node of ISE is:

  request stop ise

  Halt

  By using these commands, the risk of database corruption decreases by 90% (remember to always backup).

• common components of jar, naming, best practices

  11.1.2.1 forms

  I added a few components of pot. For example, Directprint.jar

  As they have dependencies on other common components, you must download and add in the formsweb.cfg

  For example, Directprint must fontbox, pdfbox and commons-logging

  This components are alive, so change their versions.

  Well, now I have java in 1.6-1.8 guests, so I used it to upgrade some components of the jar.

  For example from pdfbox - 1.8.6.jar to pdfbox - 1.8.11.jar

  The question is: what is the best practice? The version of the name of band (rename just pdfbox.jar) so I don't have to change formsweb.cfg or preserve the name and line archive file formsweb.cfg?

  If you rename the file... you have to do before everything that manifests properties adding and signing a hassle?

  I guess it's a matter of taste and requirement. Personally I don't like the version numbers in the file names, because ultimately I don't like what version I am running a certain file... as long at it works. I certainly do not want to change the file name in each config file I do and do not remember to add it.

  However; If you want to be able to move forward and backward between the versions I guess it's easier to have a version number in the file name. If you encounter a no - Go in the current version just swap the file name in the configuration files. Of course, if you implement version control, you can update to revision until the problem is introduced, generating the .jar file from scratch and redeployed. If you don't have version control, you can only hope that you have a backup of your file.

  By simply adding a version number in the file name, you will need to update the formsweb.cfg whenever you add a new version of your jar file. By not doing this you will not have to do.

  Both have their advantages and disadvantages, you will have to decide for yourself what best suits your needs.

  If you rename the file... you have to do before everything that manifests properties adding and signing a hassle?

  Yes. The manifest must not care about the file name, but the process of signing only.

• Best practices/assets

  Hello, I have a question about restoring active links in a Web site. I understand that the best way of assets update batch is do them all in one folder. However, I have several large websites with hundreds of photos and other goods, and it seems not that it is the best way to manage property. For example, I have a client that I have 50-75 pictures added to their site each year for a project. I do not delete the pictures of previous years, just keep to add. It only seems fair to just continue to add assets to a record of great asset. But, I had the folder my documents moved a couple of times, whenever I put in exactly the same place on my drive hard as it was (long story, this time, that apple has messed up my documents folder by MOVING to icloud without my permission) and even if I put back it exactly where it was, Muse said all assets are missing and I need to manually recreate a link to each of them. I understand that, for this reason, everything should be in the same folder, but for larger sites, it doesn't seem like it's the best practice. Sometimes, I have 20 or more active in a folder and we rebuild those suddenly, it's great, but I still several hundred in a Web site into smaller folders.

  Any ideas?  I don't know why muse is so delicate on the moved files, if I end up putting them back in the same place. I know that it is better to leave them where you designed the originally, but of the things happening.

  the best practice

  Annette

  don't move images from one computer to another because they are not the same images in the new system... even if you put them in the same place.

  I just take the .muse file then use Dreamweaver (something like it) to download images from the Web page on the new computer... new version of Muse has an active button fired but older versions of the muse is

• I can work on after effects being coded by best practices and Media Encoder file

  I just found out that after effects files can be returned outside the program using the media encoder.  I had been made in after effects of .mov, then open the file in photoshop to render the .mov to a mp4.  Not the process faster, but it worked.  If I use media encoder to make my legacy model would still be able to work in AfterEffects and edit and save the file rendered in media encoding, or it is locked?  I hear also the media encoder is slower than the after effects encoder.  What are the best practices for a comp sequelae which makes a mp4 (h264)?  Thank you...

  Depending on what you do the SOUL can be slower than using index rendering, but that's the only thing that you must use to make H.264 files.

  When you send a model to the SOUL a virtual copy of this composition that is the source for this rendering. You can continue to work on the same computer and additional changes but if you want these changes appears you will need to send this model to the SOUL again after making the changes.

  Almost without exception, I'm working on plans not and certainly never movies sequences in After Effects. My average computer is probably seven seconds, my average film is probably 30 minutes so I use AE to work on plans for effects which cannot be treated in my NLE. I almost always send a model to the SOUL to render a h.264 or a suitable production master, or both, and then I continue working in AE because I can't afford to wait for a rendering time. On almost all of it is the more efficient workflow.

• Exporting 60 frames per second to 30 frames per second - best practices?

  Hello!

  I've been inattentive when setting up my DSLR before filming sequences for a small video testimony. So you end up with 60 fps clips where I wanted to 24 fps.

  I edited the full video in Prime CC expect to export at 30 fps without major problems. And to a certain extent, that's ok, except for a couple of pans that suck really :-/

  My question is: what is the best practice when exporting first CC or via Media Encoder?

  Would really appreciate your help!

  Thank you!

  Try to drop your video of 60 frames per second in a sequence of 30 frames per second, then export the movie.  Experience the turn (using short segments of your sequence for testing purposes) mixture of framework.

• What is the best practice to block through several layers sizes: hardware and hypervisor VM OS?

  The example below is not a real Setup, I work with, but should get the message. Here's my example of what I'm doing as a reference layer:

  (LAYER1) Hardware: The hardware RAID controller

  • -1 TB Volume configured in the 4K block size. (RAW)?

  
  

  (Layer2) Hypervisor: Data store ESXi

  • -1 TB of Raid Controller formatted with VMFS5 @ block size of 1 MB.

  
  

  Layer (3) the VM OS: Server 2008 R2 w/SQL

  • -100 GB virtual HD using NTFS @ 4 K for the OS block size.
  • -900 GB virtual HD set up using NTFS @ 64 K block size to store the SQL database.
  • 
    

  It seems that vmfs5 is limited to only having a block size of 1 MB. It would be preferable that all or part of the size of the blocks matched on different layers and why or why not? What are the different block sizes on other layers and performance? Could you suggest better alternative or best practices for the sample configuration above?

  If a San participated instead of a hardware on the host computer RAID controller, it would be better to store the vmdk of OS on the VMFS5 data store and create an iSCSI separated THAT LUN formatted to a block size of 64 K, then fix it with the initiator iSCSI in the operating system and which size to 64 K. The corresponding block sizes through layers increase performance or is it advisable? Any help answer and/or explaining best practices is greatly appreciated.

  itsolution,

  Thanks for the helpful response points.  I wrote a blog about this which I hope will help:

  Alignment of partition and blocks of size VMware 5 | blog.jgriffiths.org

  To answer your questions here, will:

  I have 1 TB of space (around) and create two Virutal Drives.

  Virtual Drive 1-10GB - to use for OS Hyper-visiere files

  Virtual Drive 2 - 990 GB - used for the storage of data/VM VMFS store

  The element size of default allocation on the Perc6 / i is 64 KB, but can be 8,16,32,64,128,256,512 or 1024 KB.

  What size block would you use table 1, which is where the real hyper-visiere will be installed?

  -> If you have two tables I would set the size of the block on the table of the hypervisor to 8 KB

  What block size that you use in table 2, which will be used as the VM data store in ESXi?

  ->, I'd go with 1024KO on VMFS 5 size

  -Do you want 1024KO to match the VMFS size which will be finally formatted on top he block?

  -> Yes

  * Consider that this database would eventually contain several virtual hard drives for each OS, database SQL, SQL logs formatted to NTFS to the recommended block, 4K, 8K, 64K size.

  -> The problem here is THAT VMFS will go with 1 MB, no matter what you're doing so sculpture located lower in the RAID will cause no problems but does not help either.  You have 4 k sectors on the disk.  RAID 1 MB, 1 MB invited VMFS, 4 k, 8K, 64 K.   Really, 64K gains are lost a little when the back-end storage is 1 MB.

  If the RAID stripe element size is set to 1 024 Ko so that it matches the VMFS 1 MB size of block, which would be better practice or is it indifferent?

  -> So that's 1024KB, or 4 KB chucks it doesn't really matter.

  What effect this has on the OS/Virtual HD and their sizes respective block installed on top of the tape and the size of block VMFS element?

  -> The effect is minimal on the performance but that exists.   It would be a lie to say that he didn't.

  I could be completely on the overall situation of the thought, but for me it seems that this must be some kind of correlation between the three different "layers" as I call it and a best practice in service.

  Hope that helps.  I'll tell you I ran block size SQL and Exchange time virtualized without any problem and without changing the operating system.  I just stuck with the standard size of microsoft.  I'd be much more concerned by the performance of the raid on your server controller.  They continue to do these things cheaper and cheaper with cache less and less.  If performance is the primary concern then I would consider a matrix or a RAID5/6 solution, or at least look at the amount of cache on your raid controller (reading is normally essential to the database)

  Just my two cents.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions.

  Thank you
