Cluster MS with VMFS - why only Cluster in a box of decision-making support?

Hi all

Ive been reviewing the KB of Microsoft Clustering on Vmware here: -.

http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1037959

https://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R41/vsp_41_mscs.PDF

And noted that VMFS is taken in charge for shared storage, but only clustered in a box configuration, so that the two nodes of the cluster are on the same physical ESX host.  Anyone know why this limitation is in place?

Why can I not have a VM on different ESX host?

See you soon

Stewart

It has to do with the fact that two ESX / / ESXi hosts cannot access a VMDK at the same time - that of why a Cluster across Boxes can use a VMFS fo the VMDK quorum data store and data shared VMDK.

    You can perform an import operation, even though you did not create the export file. However, keep in mind that if the export file was created by a user with the role of the permission, you must have the role IMP_FULL_DATABASE to import it. Two of these roles are typically assigned to database administrators (DBA).

  • problem of cluster-in-a-box

    a test, I'm trying to create a cluster of 2 vm that runs

    ENT Ent/W2k8 SQL

    on ESX 4 build 208167.

    the shared disks are hard files stored on local VMFS on ESX host voluome.

    I followed the procedure of "cluster in a box":

    1 created a new virtual machine, as if it were a stand-alone server.

    2 - Adding a drive on the 1:0 SCSI bus (original disk was on 0:0).

    VMDK daughter is 'vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk '.

    3. it automatically added a second SCSI controller on the virtual machine

    4 - Set the virtual shared SCSI bus

    5 created a second vm, even as the first

    6 - adding a drive on the bus 1:0.

    same VMDK file is identical to step 2, "vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk".

    7 - Place the new virtual controller so

    8 - I began the first Vm and... Crash with the following message:

    VMware ESX Server cannot open the virtual drive, ' / vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk ' for clustering. Verify that the virtual disk was created using the "thick".

    Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/.../...vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

    Reason: thin/TBZ disks cannot be opened in multiwriter mode...

    Yes, you have Lightroom through the creative cloud. However, in the forums, each community specializes in each separate application that you have. There is a forum for the creative cloud, another for the Lightroom application, app, and yet another for Photoshop.

    Forum Adobe Creative Cloud, you could post a question of not being able to download another app through it, or maybe that you are having problems signing in. In the Photoshop Lightroom forum, you were wondering questions not being able to import photos into the app or another Lightroom. In the Discussion of Photoshop, you can ask for help because a tool does not work, or an error message appears. So on for all Adobe applications.

  • Project will render with ' I-Frame only MPEG.

    Hey Adobe, I'm writing this at your request.

    I already used to have an old Intel Core2 chip system.

    I improved it so that my video editing life would be faster.  I have a new motherboard with a new intel I7-4770 3.5 GHz chip. same memory (16 GB-1600), card graphics, hard drive, DVD player, etc...

    On the system Core2, video projects that I've worked on everything worked well. I mainly use a Sony Z5 to film making. M2T files.

    On my old system, first running it CC to ALL WORK - no problem, but on the new construction, it blocks every time THAT I try to return with "error compiling Movie - unknown error.

    After FOUR hours on the phone with your tech in India media, they came up with a workaround. I insist - it's a workaround, not a solution.

    They concluded that if I changed the order to be "Customized" and then selected "Microsoft AVI" (any Codec, any) as the only preview instead of "I-Frame MPEG" File Format so Yes - it makes.

    The tech told me that it was because "M2T" files were fussy and had to be treated in this way.

    FAKE!

    If this * needed * to be the case, then why it worked already on my old system without any problems?

    Also, if I take a project that hangs on my Office PC and copy on my laptop, turn off first on my desk and turn on my laptop and run in there... IT MAKES FINE, using the single 'I - Frame MPEG' setting.

    Also, I shot some videos with a Nikon D5100, who produced full HD. MOV clips, * AND THE SAME PROBLEM STILL OCCURS * when rendering on my desktop PC and does that when I change the preview File Format to be ' Microsoft AVI - so it is not related to the. M2T video file type.

    So I can make things, but ultimately it's an and not a solution, as when I finished with a project and want to check out I do then in export and choosing "Match sequence settings", with Microsoft AVI is selected, he wants so of course export it to an AVI file, which I'm not - I want to 25mbps MPEG which is the original format/quality he has been shot to export it.  When I try and do it with "I-Frame only MPEG", selected as the type of sequence - you guessed, Media Encoder crashes

    So.  Why i-Frame only MPEG works on a single machine (my laptop), but on my main machine (office) that I want to use, it does not work? This piece of software/codec/file I am missing?

    -J' installed from a clean build of Windows

    -J' I deactivated and reactivated first CC

    -J' uninstalled first CC and reinstalled

    -J' uninstalled all the programs cloud CC and reinstalled the

    -J' ran CC cleaner too

    -J' have the latest video drivers for my graphics card (this is the same graphics card that works great on my old system anyway, is not the question)

    -J' have all Windows/Admin permissions. It's not a permissions issue

    Please do not suggest one of these options.  None of them work.  I need someone who understands your software and know that i-Frame only MPEG is to be able to tell me why it does not work on my system.  I'm now past the stage of anger (because I've lost several days worth of worktime - and so money) and be upset (because it's massively frustrating when something that worked before now is not) and now I'm just to the point to be confused than anyone he can seem to tell me what is happening here and how to solve.

    Thank you very much

    Geoff.

    So it seems that have been resolved.  (I had already tried disabling, reactivation and had not worked).

    The useful tech I spoke in India over a week he thought there could be something to an incorrect driver for my audio (a new motherboard with audio integrated).  However, the site of the manufacturer (ASUS) motherboard, insisted the audio driver / correct later, I had and I had already done that.

    However, I discovered that when I ran a "tell me if my drivers are all up to date on my system!" program (to see if I was missing something else), he insisted that I was not running the latest audio driver.  Intruiging!  So I went directly to the website Realek: (who do the audio chip)and dug around there, and I found a driver much more up-to-date that installed fine.

    As well! "scan driver" program was also kind enough to point out that I had not installed the Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.  He couldn't be... could that be?

    So I downloaded and installed the SP1, then restarted.  Charge of a project, and... wow! Finally. All of this is made without crashing.

    So make your choice - or the latest audio driver, or SP1 for Windows 7 or a combination of both - does the job.

    SP1 really updated the system codecs MPEG to make it work? It would be nice to know for sure if that's what it was it fixed.   And what this mysterious "i-Frame" codec overview is that I had never heard of the head of all these hassles.   And I'm always irritated that no one (INCLUDING myself!) does not check SP1 earler...  Duh.

    However.  I was able to perform a job today...

  • Problem VMDK file large cluster in a box

    So I've been running a flavor of vmware server 2.x since its release with little or no problems. Not that it matters but my host server is a Dell Poweredge 1900 with 32 GB of RAM, running windows server 2003 x 64.  I have also 2 Windows VM that I run as a cluster in a box, and they worked very well in this way for more than 3-4 years at the time of vmware 1.x. Both virtual machines have been set up exactly as such:

    SCSI 0:0 16GB & lt; - c drive

    1:0 500 MB & lt; - quorum SCSI cluster

    SCSI 1:1 12GB & lt; - the app cluster disk

    1:2 950 GB SCSI & lt; - storage of cluster disk

    SCSI 1:3) 12 GB & lt;-the sql cluster disk

    1:4 250 GB & lt; - disk SCSI storage of additional cluster

    What I did recently to set up a new file 2 TB since vmware server 2.x vmdk will now allow you to make files vmdk bigger than the old limit of 950 GB. This new 2 TB file was supposed to replace my 2 readers of old SCSI 1:2 and 1:4 SCSI cluster storage. After making the swap and copy all data to a vmdk file again, I noticed a problem at any moment I'm going to and move the resource cluster VMDK new 2 TB to the other server. Basically the two servers stop responding and it seems that vmware server choke on the 2 TB for some reason vmdk file any. Here's what I see in my logs any time that this happens.

    Has anyone ever ran across this or has anyone ever used a file vmdk of this size as a cluster resource? As I said before that I had 0 problems with my cluster before I added this new 2 TB vmdk file...

    I'm not at all surprised that you get this problems.

    You use monolithicSparse vmdk type!

    For cluster in a box, I highly recommend flat VMDK.

    I wonder that it worked for you all with the drive more sharing

  • Features of the icon: why some icons contain green boxes with check marks?

    Original title: icon features

    Why some icons contain green boxes with check marks?  Ditto chiccory arrows & exclamation points?  Thank you.

    I assume you mean the file icons in Windows Explorer (my computer). The curved arrow indicates that the listed item is actually just a shortcut to a file or a program. The exclamation point and the green check mark will have something to do with the backup or archiving and depend on the settings you have made in Windows or backup software that you have installed.

  • I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".

    Access to the "Local" network only
    I can connect to my network, but with access "local only".  Internet became more intermittent (not sure if that is related or if I guess it) and did not work in several weeks.  Desktop computer is plugged into the router, but have the same problem when it is plugged into the DSL modem.  Other computers on the same router (wireless or other) work very well.  Recently, I removed Mcaffee and installed MS security essentials.  I uninstalled mcaffee of programs and settings then used the mcaffee removal tool to lighten the rest.  I uninstalled and reinstalled MS security essentials.  I thought it might be a firewall issue, but I get error 0x6D9 when I try to start it.  I tried all the steps in the following post, nothing helps.  Any other suggestions?

    ______________________

    You can follow the steps below and check if that helps you solve the problem.

    Method 1

    Try to power cycle the router and the computer and check if it helps.

    On the PC:

    1. Save your work and restart the machine.

    On the router or modem (if wireless printing):

    1. Unplug the router and the modem.
    2. Wait 30 seconds.
    3. Plug in the modem and wait for it to come to the ready state.
    4. Plug in the router.

    After you put cycle check the connection between the router and the computer.

    Method 2

    If the steps above do not help, you mayreset TCP/IP stack. To reset access the link below and either click on "Fix it for me" or follow the instructions to fix it yourself:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357
     
    Disable the IP helpdesk:
    1 hold the Windows key and type R, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and press enter
    2. scroll down to the IP assistance service, right-click on it and select Properties
    3. in the drop-down list box that says "Automatic" or "Manual", set it to disabled and then click 'apply '.
    4. then click on "Stop" to stop the service from running in the current session
    5. click on OK to exit the dialog box

    Method 3

    Disable IPv6 and remove IPv6 virtual cards:
     
    Try to uninstall IPv6 on all interfaces, the removal of virtual cards of IPv6 and reset the TCP/IP stack. To remove the IPv6, go to the properties for each network adapter, and deselect the check box next to the Protocol "Internet Protocol version 6 (TCP/IPv6), which will turn off, or select it and click on uninstall, which withdraw power off the computer.» Then go into Device Manager and remove any 4to6 adapters, adapters miniport WUN or tunnel adapters.
    NOTE: You should do this for each network connection, even if they are disabled.

    Method 4

    Disable the DHCP Broadcast Flag:
    Link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/928233
    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756.  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
     
    Windows Vista cannot obtain an IP address from certain routers or some non-Microsoft DHCP servers
     
    To resolve this issue, disable the DHCP BROADCAST flag in Windows Vista. To do this, follow these steps:


    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box, and then click regedit in the list programs.
    2. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.
    3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
    4 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\ {GUID}
    5. in this registry path, click the (GUID) subkey that corresponds to the network adapter that is connected to the network.
    6. on the Edit menu, point to new, and then click DWORD (32-bit) value.
    7. in the new area #1, type DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle and press ENTER.
    8. right click on DhcpConnEnableBcastFlagToggle, then click on modify.
    9. in the value data box, type 1 and then click OK.
    10. close the registry editor.
     
    By setting this registry key to 1, Windows Vista's trying to get an IP address using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets. If that fails, he will try to obtain an IP address without using the BROADCAST flag in DHCP Discover packets.
    You can also try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver for the wireless card.
