• VMware 5.0 + cluster Microsoft 2008

  Hi people,

  I need to configure microsoft 2008 cluster between 2 virtual computers in 2 different hosts ESX - i.

  I went through the Setup program for the Clustering failover and Microsoft Cluster Service guide available online.

  Need to understand 1 thing "which is Clustered disks, physical compatibility mode (RDM passthrough).

  My question is «I have 2 requirement of clusters, 1 for data 250 GB & 1 LUN for logs 250GB»

  Do I have to create these 2 LUN in a SAN storage, post it on ESXi hosts & create 2 250 GB data warehouses

  or

  I can publish only 500 GB LUNS, create the data of 500 GB store & create virtual drives of 250 GB each and show it to the virtual machines for clustering?

  ... what I have to publish 2 250 GB LUNS each & then select RDM

  This is how you do it. Each ROW is associated with a single LUN.

  Whenever I need to do maintenance on an ESXi host who has a 2003 microsoft cluster after the host is restarted all RDM Cluster Microsoft disks loses access to the RDM disks and displayed with 0 KB size. Only it is possible to restore the cluster off the second node of a Microsoft cluster and by removing and adding RDM disks. Someone already had this problem?

• Voice on Exchange 2003 Cluster connector?

  I have a small question regarding to where to install a voice connector.

  We currently have a voice connector installed on a stand-alone server Exchange 2003 (running Windows 2000 Server).

  It is configured to connect to our bridge of unity via VPIM server.

  We want to install the connector on the voice on our Exchange 2003 Cluster (two Exchange servers, running Windows 2003 Server) if possible.

  The problems for me this or not do this? Or is it better to keep it on a stand-alone Exchange Server?

  I don't know since we are talking about two Exchange servers configured in a cluster and there may be additional licenses involved, etc..

  Thank you

  It seems that the implementation of bridge on a cluster is not supported by Microsoft.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/voice_ip_comm/bridge/31/Networking/Guide/31ex_5x/31cubnetex.html

  Implementation of voice for the network bridge connector

  "Install the connector of the votes on any Exchange 2000 or Exchange 2003 server that is not part of an Exchange cluster (Microsoft doesn't support connectors from third on an Exchange cluster server)." Although the voice connector can be installed on the Cisco Unity Server (when Exchange is also on the server), it is not recommended for performance reasons. "

• Configuration of memory

  AFAIK, VM can be assigned to the number of VCPU must be lower than the number of logical CPUS, ESX/ESXi server has?

  Is the same concept to configure the amount of RAM for VM?

  You can assign the amount of RAM more than the amount of physical RAM installed in ESX/ESXi server VM? Assume this Act Eve VM node in Cluster Microsoft / Linux Cluster and its RAM usage is lower than the amount of physical RAM installed in ESX/ESXi server, he helped set up?

  You can do this, but you need of sufficient space on the data store to store the paging file.

  so if your vm host has 32 GB of ram and your guest needs 256 GB of ram

  It will run, but use a lot of swap space.

  not ideal but doable

  Here is a proof of concept

• Machines MSCS with RDM, how to change the data store?

  
  Hello world

  I'm having a problem of displacement of 2 machines with RDM disks.
  We have 2 guests ESxi 4.1 with virtualcenter, but no license for vmotion.

  This 2 machines is building a MSCS Cluster (Microsoft) (file server) with multiple disks (5) RDM,
  for a total area of 8.9 TB. Of course, for use with MS cluster, the WDR is with physical compatibility.

  The problem is that the local vmdk (and also rdm.vmdk files) for these 2 machines are on the local data store (a machine for each host) and I need to move them to the shared storage. But if I power off of a computer and trying to change with the ROW data store attached, I get an error because the VMFS of the commune dastore (block size = 1 MB) does not support these large files (up to 2 TB).

  I read a lot of articles
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031041
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1026256
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1002511
  and a few other discussions of communities.

  In accordance with article
  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1005241

  I tried to turn off the machine, remove the RDM, migrate to another data store, and then reconnect the RDM.
  There is a big problem with the last point, because I don't know how readd the RDM manually (vmfsktools?).
  I want to add an existing drive, but he was in local storage, and I don't want more no reference to the file in the local storage...
  According to the documentation of vmware for MSCS, the second node of the cluster disks can be added simply to add a drive existing and selecting the
  existing node. If it is no problem of shared storage, but the host cannot read local storage to another host...

  Any suggestion to migrate a computer virtual with RDM shared storage room? Thank you

• Vmware player para cibercafè clients

  Buenas

  I have the possibility of montar el siguiente stage:

  Varios hence client no. (+ 4 Años) como muy, pero con muy similar hardware
  Para el a mediano ordenador control del ciber
  The idea del dueno del ciber to provide several users sin querer UN vdi como montar a entornos virtualizados're debido (por el presupuesto)

  Como respond to me ha enough lo siguiente:

  Los equipos client can run any linux linux + x 11 sin problemas por lo what can montar además vmware player y offer el acceso a varios types of desk procedures en remote por iscsi for example (I think todos los equipos los puedo meter una tarjeta giga).
  A (el unico as seria nuevo) servidor con el necessary o una NAS storage (hay una lacie 2 TB Québec me gusta mucho)
  Los equipos virtualizados let las licenses currently tiene el 2000 y los XP client dando servicio (hace mucho en esto porque ha are incapié probado una multa por uso non-legal software y sin license) y los puestos solo is prodria run 1 unica MV (limitado por the memoria).

  Pero aqui hay unas how many things don't me are viable hacer, for example, in las mv than ejecuten juegos should be able to access a UN repositorio shared y no puedo montar iscsi en UN XP home (no is porque pero not already is) por lo quisiera dichero of a disco duro VMDK sea acesible por Quebec several maquinas has the vez y lo local disco of vean como (no he found are what hay than Quebec en El fichero para behaves como UN disco quorum cluster).

  Y por otro lado, is posible change las OnixMosaico as conmutan el modo a pantalla completa, Liberación raton, grab entry y ctrlaltsupr?

  Con todo esto seria posible montar what quiere el client, a muy bajo precio conversion y mantenimiento y sober todo, respetar lo me pide Las licenses.

• Microsoft Cluster in vSphere using RDM disks

  Gentlemen, I have doubts that sounds simple, but it is better to ask than to the hurt things.

  Here, in the company where I started work two weeks ago. We have two servers of files Windows Server 2012, both are part of Microsoft Cluster Services, these two servers are virtualized on VMware ESXi 5.5, each on a host, here we use vCenter HA and DRS.

  Well, these file servers 03 RDM disks connected to the fibre channel, storage only disks are online only on node 1, node 2 drives are present in the computer Manager, but marked offline.

  To my knowledge, my experience of simple Microsoft cluster, the disks must be online on all nodes for disaster recovery is quick, for example through cluster in Windows Server 2008 R2 and Hyper-V Server R2 of 2012 using iSCSI storage and always leave the disks online on all nodes.

  My question is: is there a reason why a node drives remain online and the other node is taken offline? Because of RDM technology?

  I can then do disks on node 2 as well as online without risk?

  I'm an environment that left another analyst configured, had never made Windows Server 2012 in virtualized VMware vSphere servers cluster using RDM disks, so made the questions, so instead of simply in clicking on node 2 of disks and makes them online it is better to ask before

  Thank you!

  Ivanildo, is the normal Windows Server Failover Clustering behavior, since it is an active/passive cluster architecture, where a single node read/write a disk at a time, and is not a problem due to the use of RDMS in vSphere environment.

  The bellow image show two discs a WSFC, where 6 disk Offline on that particular node and the 7 disc is online:

  

  And, do TRY not to put the disks as offline being online on another node through disk management, this task must be performed by using the Failover Cluster Management console.

• VMware 5.1 with compatibility virtual RDM and Microsoft SQL Cluster mode

  Hello

  I am a bit confused by the VMWare documentation and hope someone can point me in the right direction.

  I want to know if it is possible and supported to create a cluster of SQL 2008 R2 2 nodes (Server 2008 R2 SP2 are VM) on a 2 node cluster VMWare 5.1 with the use of Virtual RDM compatibility?

  When you read the PDF on vsphere5.1 on the link below on page 9, there's a indicating note 'NOTE Clusters on multiple physical computers with no-pass-through RDM is supported only for Windows Server 2003 clusters. It is not supported for clustering with Windows Server 2008. »

  http://pubs.VMware.com/vSphere-51/topic/com.VMware.ICbase/PDF/vSphere-ESXi-vCenter-Server-51-Setup-MSCS.PDF

  So that means that I want "a 2-node cluster sql 2008 R2 server" is not supported?

  But I also found this link below and in the table of the column on the Cluster SQL line RDM is said 'yes' with a 2.

  VMware KB: Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: guidelines for supported configurations

  Means 2/redirects-> for more information on shared disk configurations, refer to the Disk Configurations section in this article.

  -> Disk configurations

  • RDM: Configuration using a shared Quorum for storage or data must be on Fiber Channel (FC) based on RDM (physical cluster across boxes "CAB" mode, virtual mode for cluster in a box "IPC") in vSphere 5.1 and previous versions. RDM on storage other than CF (iSCSI and FCoE) are supported only in vSphere 5.5. However, in earlier versions, FCoE is supported in very specific configurations. For more information, see Microsoft clustering solutions table above note 4 .

  What follow-up note4->

  1. In vSphere 5.5, native FCoE is supported. In vSphere 5.1 update 1 and 5.0 Update 3, two cluster configuration of the node with Cisco NAC (VIC-1240/1280) cards and driver version 1.5.0.8 is compatible with Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit guest operating system. For more information, see the VMware hardware compatibility guide:
     • Cisco UCS VIC1240
     • Cisco UCS VIC1280

  This means that it is suuported, I "m confused.

  Hi Bypy,

  Two windows 2008 R2 SQL virtual cluster nodes with RDM is supported only for the IPC or Cluster In a Box that is to say if the two virtual machines reside on the same host ESXi. The same configuration is not supported for the cabin or Cluster across boxes (virtual machines running on different hosts ESXi).

  The CAB, you go for the physical RDM mode.

  According to this link, http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1037959

  SQL Cluster using windows 2008 R2 is supported for both physical and virtual mode RDM. Between physical and virtual mode depends on whether you want the CAB or IPC respectively.

  I hope this helps.

  See you soon,.

• MSCS - NLB Microsoft cluster

  Hello

  We have 4 cluster NLB nodes on Production site and we expect protect it with MRS. 5.1.1.

  SRM 5.1.1 supports 2-node Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS).  vSphere 5.1.x supports up to 5-node MSCS. SRM 5.1.x supports 2-node MSCS.

  Is it possible to have 4 NLB nodes in production and to protect only two nodes with MRS? as we just need two nodes for DR.

  Not sure, but I think you mix two features here, MSCS, and NETWORK load balancing. The restrictions apply to MSCS, but not NETWORK load balancing (unless I'm missing something).

• Problema al add UN nodo adicional al Cluster Windows Server 2012 con VMware Workstation 9 en

  Hola Buenas,

  Ante todo decir este are a Québec fallo he revisado y las responses in different los don't post han well para help me, good os.

  El caso are that I have 2 servers DELL PowerEdge R420 fisicos identicos, cada uno con ellos 3 VMs sober instaladas VMware Workstation 9. The first virtual machine are an image of Kerio control, a second virtual machine to Windows Server 2012 con dominio Controladora, is the third VM con WS2012're donde quiero crear el cluster con dominio usuario. ESTOS servidores knew vez esta una cabina data via iSCSI connected.

  Add tambien when performed the tests of validation led Cluster, todo lo tengo OK. El caso are so creo el cluster con el Nodo 1 y 2 Nodo (sugar Québec cada uno fisica Máquina distinta ellos y bajo mismo Dominio) me error UN da has the el crear hora cluster. In cambio, if creo el Cluster con este nodos if any to crea, pero el fallo viene a hora of connect UN nodo adicional (ya sea o 1 Nodo Nodo 2). Este fallo viene cuando el nodo TR checks are completely funcional in el Cluster, is is "pensando" y da fallo por tiempo sold.

  He revisado problemas similar y he visto that el antivirus can be una causa e caso no lo're are only aun no he wont any AV... There comprobado red devices (utilizamos 4, 2 iSCSI, 1 red LAN y otra heart rate), he desactivado los red el protocolo IPv6 devices, he probado connect los nodos con el Kerio Offline, el desactivado firewall of Windows, exportar components del registro TCPIP6, capture las conexiones iSCSI...

  El cluster is as en Máquinas Office instalacion del WS2012 y is ha hecho manera person, no mediante VMWare del injerto.

  Una nueva prueba as hoy he ha hecho sido realize el cluster 2 maquinas office in una misma Máquina física y to ha s con exito, pero cuando intento realize el 2 nodos cluster (2 machines virtual cada una fisica diferente Máquinas) cuando me da el error. Esto deduzco raiz Quebec are a VMware o red, no lo o problema se, he probado use tan solo 1 switch (infrastructure utilizaria 2), changing IPs, pero igual sigo as can be? contacts? Alguna especifica VMware config?

  El caso're llevo several days ago that don't con este problema y no se a what can deber, agradeceria muchisimo the the comunidad ayuda.

  MUCHAS Gracias

  Buenas

  Between 2 workstation are posible realize ese tipo configs of forma limpia.

  El problema're (sniffer lo of UN pones veras TR), Los nodos assume ip-spoofing y arp spoofing cuando salen por tarjeta of Red led host.

  Para hacer eso as pides, deberias workstation pasar an esxi.

• Is Microsoft Failover Cluster ESXi 4.1 Shared Disk of NFS data store, it supported?

  Is Microsoft Failover Cluster ESXi 4.1 Shared Disk of NFS data store, it supported?

  We have a request from MS Failover Cluster configuration on Windows 2008 R2 2 guests with a storage shared for a web application. However, there is no VMFS storage of data or the ability of the CF to presending RDM. So, I created the disks shared on a NFS datastore using option "Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service" and have added the cluster disk and tested successful failover.

  But the MS cluster validation control cancelled storage and I want to know if that configuration is not taken because of supported.

  A notice would be useful.

  We are also working on setting up a cluster of ESXi for iSCSI storage, which can be leveraed for this purpose.

  Shyam-

  Its not supported.

  4.1, your only options supported are:

  • CF storage with pRDMs
  • iSCSI storage with initiators guest.
