• Best practices Upgrade Path - Server 3 to 5?

  Hello

  I am trying a migration and upgrade of a server in the Profile Manager. I currently run an older mac mini Server 10.9.5 and Server 3 with a vast installation of Profile Manager. I recently successfully migrated the server itself out of the old mac mini on a Xserve end 2009 of cloning the drive. Still of double controls everything, but it seems that the transition between the mini and the Xserve was successful and everything works as it should (just with improved performance).

  My main question is now that I want to get this software-wise at day and pass to the Server 5 and 10.11. I see a lot of documentation (still officially Apple) best practices for the upgrade of the Server 3 to 4 and Yosemite, but can't find much on the Server 5 and El captain, a fortiori from 3 to 5. I understand that I'll probably have to buy.app even once and that's fine... but should I be this staging with 10.9 to 10.10 and Server 4... Make sure that all is well... and the jump off 10.11 and Server 5... Or is it 'safe' (or ok) to jump 3 to 5 Server (and 10.9.5 to 10.11.x)? Obviously, the AppStore is pleased to make the jump from 10.9 to 10.11, but once again, looking for best practices here.

  I will of course ensure that all backups are up-to-date and make another clone just before any which way that take... but I was wondering if someone has made the leap from 3-5... and had things (like the Profile Manager) still work correctly on the other side?

  Thanks for any info and/or management.

  In your post I keep the Mini running Server 3, El Capitan and Server 5 install the Xserve and walk through setting up Server 5 by hand. Things that need to be 'migrated' as Open directory must be handled by exporting the mini and reimport on Xserve.

  According to my experience, OS X Server facilities that were "migrated" always seem to end up with esoteric problems that are difficult to correct, and it's easier to adopt the procedure above that to lose one day try.

• The ESXi 4.1.0 to 6.0 upgrade. -upgarde and best practices

  Hi guys,.

  We are a small business with a single physical server, ESXi 4.1.0 installed with approx. 8 VMs. We plan on buying Essential Kit 6.0 ESXi because that's all we need right now. However, as VMWare says that 4.1.0 to 6.0 upgrade is NOT supported (matrices of the interoperability of products VMware), how we improve our host and VMS?

  I guess the correct way will be upgraded from 4.0. 5.5 U3 first, then to 6.0. However, if we buy the 6.0 license essential Kit, that we will be able to always download and install and upgrade of the host and all VMs to U3 5.5, and 6.0. Essentials?

  In addition, what are the best practices to upgrade a single host with multiple virtual machines? What I did research, we should back up important files from virtual machine, all critical data, etc. All recommendations are welcome. My understanding is that the upgrade also virtual machines will be upgraded automatically, that's correct - methods of upgrade to ESXi 5.5 (2058352) | VMware KB

  Best regards

  Hello

  As you said, you cannot upgrade host ESXi 4.x to 6.x, you must first upgrade 4.x to 5.x and then switch to 6.x

  Before moving to 5 or 6, make sure you ESXi host is compatible with ESXi 6.

  Check cheque and VMware hardware compatibility list if your server is listed.

  Although you'll have a 6 ESXi license kit, you can download ESXi 5.x and use it to upgrade process.

  Only if you need to use 5.x permanently, then you need to get your license keys downgraded to 5.x, otherwise once you upgrade host to 5.x, go ahead and level to ESXi 6.x

  Backup-

  Before you begin the upgrade, make sure that you have backup of all VMs critics.

  Either you can download/export all VMs as OVF, or you can use Veeam's free edition to make the backup of virtual machines

  -Update

  You can join the server ESXi ISO Installer and boot server form ISO and update.

  During the Installation process make sure to select ' PRESERVER VMFS and upgrade ESXi host '

  If you do not keep vmfs, all virtual machines will get deleted during the installation/upgrade process.

  Once you get ESXi Host upgrade to Upgrade VMFS 5.x version so that it can support 6.

  Then finally the ESXi host to 6.x upgrade, yet once make sure PRESERVE you VMFS during installation.

  If you have vCenter Update manager, use update reach the average upgrade easy it is to upgrade.

  Thank you

• Oracle BPM 11g - a book, resource on best practices?

  Hello all, I need start an application with Oracle 11g BPM, for this I need to read best practices to run this kind of implementation, integration ADF 11 g / BPM 11 g, is there a book or resource online to talk about this?, please if you know all the resources, please comment.

  Hi Carlos,

  You've probably seen these but my top 3 books of 11g Oracle BPM would be:

  1 getting Started with Oracle BPM Suite 11 GR 1 material - A Hands on Tutorial - what is very well written and I think is the best for new people to start.  I love that it covers the entire suite in depth.  The instructions are clear and well written, but get a bit dated (it was written for the PS3 and we're currently on PS6).  This also covers the basics of the integration of the ADF you're looking for.

  2 oracle BPM Suite 11 g: Advanced Topics BPMN - Mark Nelson has been one of the authors on this.  Anything by mark, I will read.  This book fills in some areas that are difficult to learn yourself.

  3 oracle Business Process Management Suite 11 g Handbook - a little misread in some places, but has more information and best practices in some areas.

  Hope this helps,

  Dan

• Best practices for the period average upgrade R12

  Someone know where I can find a documented Oracle advised at the time to perform the upgrade 12.1.1? We are looking at whether we can pass in the middle of a period or if we have to wait until the closing period.

  Best practice is to read the name of a forum before posting in it.

  This forum is titled: "Oracle Database General Questions."

  My suspicion is that your question relates to EBS.

• Best practices for upgrading from 2.5u5 to vCenter 4.1

  Hello

  We are currently running a vCenter 2.5 5 update on Windows 2003 32-bit Standard that we need to upgrade to vCenter 4. Unfortunately the latest version 4.1 needs a 64 bit OS...

  What is the best practice to update our vCenter 4.1 and keep all performance data? I suppose we ought to do it in severalsteps or not?

  (1) vCenter 4.0 Update 2 update

  (2) a copy of the updated vCenter database backup

  (3) to perform a new installation of Windows 2008 64-bit

  (4) to perform a new installation of vCenter 4.0 Update 2

  (5) to restore the database

  (6) update for vCenter 4.1

  Is this correct or am I missing something? Is there a more easy/better way?

  Any help appreciated.

  Hello.

  KO 1022104 contains best practices, and the Upgrade Guide is also a great resource to use for this upgrade planning.  Follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide and everything should go smoothly.

  This is a really difficult list of steps, confirmed by the Upgrade Guide:

  01 build of new VMS 64-bit for vCenter

  02. prep new vCenter VM for connectivity / SQL dependencies

  03. backup of the existing database.

  04 data backup current vCenter using Data Migration tool

  05 use the data migration tool to start the setup of the vCenter server and restore the configuration of the server vCenter to the destination machine.

  06 turn off from the old server vCenter.

  07 restore the vCenter Server Configuration and installing vCenter Server on the new server

  08 updated vCenter Server name of Plug-Ins (if the new vCenter has a different name)

  09. test cycle

  Good luck!

• Upgrading ESX 3.0.2 for 3.5 - best practices and tips

  Hello

  I am currently managing a virtual environment running on ESX 3.0.2 and VC 2.0.2. I intend to upgrade this year to ESX 3.5 and VC 2.5. Anyone know where I can find information on best practices to upgrade and / or a document of instructions that will take me through the process? I had a glance on the VMWare Web site but cannot find anything.

  See you soon

  G

  I have attached a document with this information.

  First of all you must upgrade the VC and the database, then you must upgrade from ESX.

  Kind regards.

• best practices or framework for the design of OSB(11g) process

  Hi all
  
  We worked in oracle 10g, now in the new project we will use Soa suite 11 g. For 10g, we have designed our services very similar to the framework of AIA. But since the introduction of OSB 11 g we are not able to exactly fit the frame of the here AIA because the BSO has a different structure of the BSE.
  
  Can anyone suggest some design framework for the design of processes in OSB or 11g SOA Suite or best practices?

• Best practices for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

  Anyone know the best practice for Smartview during the upgrade from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
  
  
  Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
  
  Computers are upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
  
  
  What is the best practice for Smartview in this situation?
  
  1. do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
  
  2. install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
  
  3 uninstall Smartview, Excel 2007 installation and then install Smartview
  
  4 something else?
  
  
  Thank you!

  We went with option 1 and it worked very well. Be aware that OAS Treaty substantially slower in Excel 2007 to 2003. Many users have been/is unhappy about the switch. We have not tested SV v11 yet, so I don't know if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

• AWM best practices 11g

  I will build a cube in AWM 11 g. It has 25 dimensions and some of the dimension tables has over 30 million records. I partitioned the cube on the dimension of time with the lowest level being months. One dimension took about 20 hours to build. I am now under the cube and makes more than 30 hours and its construction yet. I don't know what needs to be done to improve performance and just best practices in general. Thank you in advance. What is the recommended number of dimension to be used in the cube and are there recommendations as to how attributes affect the dim or hierarchies or how many measures to include in the cube. These cubes using OBIEE as the reporting tool.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  25 dimensions are really much if you say that each cube is sized by each of them. With Oracle OLAP, you do not have these limits for a number of dimensions of a cube, but a typical good efficient cube can have 5 to 8 dimensions. If you analyze your business needs, you might be able to create smaller cubes much keep each cube to have 5 to 8 dimensions so that the loading process is much faster and suffocate.

  How many members you load dimension which takes 20 hours? You load a view or table? Also if you do a complete refresh of dimesion with synchronization and the cube is also loaded it takes a while to load but still 20 hours indicates that something is wrong here.

  Cube load performance depends on several facts:

  1 percent to precalculate.

  2. the cube dimension. How many members in each a dimension.

  3. What is the depth of the predetermined.

  4. how many measures you have in each cube.

  5. is partitioned cube? If Yes, what level, you need to maybe resolve and arrive at a correct level for the partition. How partititions.

  6. If your cubes are not partitioned, then you make series load that is eating all your time building.

  More you pre-computes, load cube takes more time, AW takes more space on the disk. A cube performance has good combination of precompute so that charge takes in your load limit and also query does not suffer.
