• Replication of data to a new environment warehouses

  I have an environment with a set of data warehouses.  I want to circulate these data storage and virtual machines to a new environment with a new server vCenter.

  Can I use replication based on the Bay to do?  For example,.

  1 duplicate LUNS to the new environment

  2. connect the ESXi server in the new environment LUNs.

  3. go through data warehouses and find virtual machines.  Save virtual machines with the new vCenter server.

  What are the problems I have with that?

  Will I need will Lun?

  Thank you

  As mcowger said, you're going to need will the LUNS.  Otherwise, you will not be able to mount the LUNS.

  You can also do it in a different way.  You can connect the ESXi hosts both the value of LUN (new and old) and use Storage vMotion to move the VM to a logical unit number to another without interruption in service.

• Configuration guide for ESXi 5 (Vmnetwork, management and vMotion) with NIC 2 network

  Hello

  I have 4 NIC in Server Blade 7 (ESXI 5), would like to dedecate 2 NIC for (Vmnetwork, management and vMotion) & NIC (iSCSI traffic) 2 with equallogic SAN.

  I equallogic guide to configure ESXI with it, but how do I configure (Vmnetwork, management and vMotion) with NIC 2, my priority is excellent speed for my virtual machine, and then nothing else.

  Then just go for classic switch.

  The configuration is a lot depend on existing infra, the trunk, the physical switch for redundant network & balance, 100 or network 1GbE, no.. virtual machines and etc. If there is a new configuration, I suggest you trunk 2 x available vmnic (the vm network) to balance the load and better performance.

• VMware vSphere: what's new in vSphere 4; Self-Paced

  I take a VMware Infrastructure 3 environment: install and configure V3.5. Can I take the VMware vSphere: what's new in vSphere 4; Self-Paced or should it be instructor?

  1. If you're not a VCP3, but attended one of the sine qua non
     classes (VI3: install and configure;) VI3: Secure deployment &
     Analyze; or VI3: Fast Track).

  • Take and pass the exam of VCP3 OR attend the VMware vSphere4: what's new course.

  • Take and pass the VCP4 exam.

  Self-paced course is not enough, the new class with instructor is the only class that meets this requirement.

  It was announced last week that the VCP3 exam will remain available until the end of March 2010 and the last day VMware have deferred the date limit for holders of VCP3 obtain the VCP4 without having to attend a vSphere instructor course - you now have until the end of January 2010.

• Classic report shows wrong "could not parse the SQL query: ORA-00942" error after migrating app to the new environment

  After migrating my APEX 4.1 application to a new environment, one classic report displays a "cannot parse the SQL query: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist" error when the page is displayed. Change the region to report SQL source to somehow (e.g., remove spaces, changing the order of the variables in the WHERE clause) immediately solves the problem, but by returning to the source of the region causes the report error again (the source region valid code without error, however).

  Throw the error message:

  Select v.id,

  v.Col1

  of view_vw v

  where (: P1_FILTER is null or)

  v.col2 = :P1_FILTER)

  Do not throw error:

  Select v.id,

  v.Col1

  of view_vw v

  where (:P1_FILTER is null or)

  v.col2 = :P1_FILTER)

  Changing the order of column in the report has the same effect; i.e. He arranges, but return back to the original column order causes the error to display.

  It's as if a cached result for the correct select statement used by the report is displayed. However, the application does not use the caching of page/region. Any ideas of what could be the cause?

  He solved. Ultimately, all that was necessary was to clear the DB cache using:

  alter system flush shared_pool;

• migration of user to the new environment of horizon profile view

  Hello, we have a new environment of horizon view during the installation of hardware new and ready to go

  at the moment we saw 5.1 in production. 5.1 environment is configured with dedicated workstations + user data disks. the windows profile is redirected to the user data disk. We also have records of the location of desktop and my documents redirection to a cifs share.

  We must abandon our users to the new environment with minimum disruption of our EBU end (IE not re - create profiles). We also want to integrate the management of persona in the new environment of horizon view.

  no indication on how to better accomplish the migration would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  -charlie

  With regard to the use of Windows and persona profiles that should be pretty simple migration.  I had a similar situation, and the first thing I would do is to configure persona in your GPOS.  You can use the existing path or create a new path in there is an option for "Override Active Directory chemin_profil_utilisateur if it is set."   Alternatively, you can make the folder redirection with persona at the same location. Again, I would set up your GPOS with the same settings you use for roaming profiles and folder redirection, then remove the old GPO and implement the new persona profiles.  I've lived without interruption of service, but you may need to do a global gpupdate/force on the clients.

• Whats New in vSphere 4 - hands on upgrade?

  Hello!

  In the course "Whats New in vSphere", actually do an upgrade of 3.5 or you are only talking about how it should be done?

  In addition, cover your vShield Zones or the Data Protection? vApps? vCloud?

  / Henrik

  There is a whole section on the ESX upgrade, all 4.0 Update Manager and vCenter. There is a large practical workshop where all of these updates are performed, as well as the update of a virtual and hardware VMs VMware Tools.

  In your list, vApps are covered in What's New. There is nothing on vShield Zones, or Data Protection, and vCloud is a concept, rather than on a specific part of the technology.

• Problems opening existing Oracle 9i in the new environment of 11g

  Hello world
  
  I have a challenge for you! Just to be clear, I am not a specialist of the Oracle (or call me a noob Oracle).
  
  Challenge: Open an Oracle 9i database in a new Oracle 11 g environment.
  
  Result: Be able to connect to an Oracle database running with "SSMA for Oracle" to convert it to a SQL database.
  
  Starting point:
  -Receipt of the customer: DBF, CTL and logs of an Oracle environment existing.
  -Since I can't download Oracle 9i environment, I chose to install 11g environment and hope for a good backward compatibility.
  
  How I got:
  -Installed 11g environment
  -Set up a database pointing to the files DBF
  ~ Change init.ora to use CTL files
  ~ Create init.ora spfile
  ~ Start database mount and rename the database and data files using sqlplus (liaison with "sys as sysdba")
  
  Questions:
  Now I can start the database, but sometimes with a * "ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure" * and recommend I start it with the UPGRADE option. "» Start with UPGRADE option works and I can navigate through the database using Toad tool (login 'as sysdba'). But 'SSMA for Oracle' is not an option to connect 'as sysdba' and gives me a "ORA-39710: only connect AS SYSDBA is allowed when it is OPENED in UPGRADE mode.
  
  Since the MASA for customer Oracle cannot connect to a database started with the UPGRADE option I probably have to fix the "ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure»
  I tried to avoid the upgrade option in trying to upgrade the database to 11g. But utlu112i.sql and catalog.sql give me errors like "ORA-04023: object SYS." STANDARD cannot be validated. "
  
  Issues related to the:
  -Do you think I want to achieve is possible at all?
  -Can I easily run an Oracle 9i database in a 11g environment or what I really need to upgrade?
  -Do you think it is the best way to get an Oracle existing database running in a new environment?
  -If Yes: how to solve the error ORA-00704?
  
  If you need more information, alert logs, files .ora or anything to give an appropriate response, please ask and I'll give them.
  
  Thanks in advance!
  
  Kind regards

  Hello

  9i binaries are no more on the website of oracle since this version is located in the long ago.

  What I would do (since you have your files backed up somewhere, at least I hope) is simply:
  Set oracle_sid = xxx
  sqlplus/nolog
  Connect / as sysdba
  start upgrade
  @?\rdbms\admin\catupgrd.sql (to upgrade the database)
  @?\rdbms\admin\utlrp.sql (to compile the modules)

  Wait a while (2-3 hours)

  immediate stop
  startup

  Check no errors in alert_log and you have access to your data.

  Then 2 possibilities:

  It worked - so everything goes well for you.
  It does not, replace your original files and try something else.

  I think this will work if, as we have already said, you're 9.2.0.4 or more.

  Do not lose time on futile questions such as 'what is really the version of my files. You care, upgrade script works for all of the above versions 9.2.0.4.

  Don't forget that:
  Passwords are now (11g) case sensitive (but you can change them when logged in sysdba)
  Some pl/sql will not compile, but I think that you are mainly interested in the data.

  I hope this helps.

• Specifications for a new installation of Foglight a GREAT environment vSphere

  Hello all-

  New Foglight for Enterprise Virtualization and we try to implement a test to see how it performs in an environment of our size.

  We have worked with the representatives of Dell/Quest/Foglight but so far have not been able to get very far in the correctly "tweaking" for usable performance. so I'm tender hand to everyone here for some thoughts.

  We currently have a large enough vCenter with over 7400 VMs, 20 + data centers, hosts 450ish, across the country.  It's a 5.1Update1 environment and the vCenter and related services (VC, SQL, VUM, SSO, WebClient) are all Windows 2008R2 machines virtual on a cluster dedicated to ESXi 2 nodes and all virtual machines to vSphere have all the power in the world to run it.  vSphere itself works well.

  For our Foglight install (the last FfVE v7) consistes of 3 virtual machines.  A FMS server, a SQL Server (2008R2 - dedicated not shared SQL DBs w / any other) and an Agent of vSphere server.  We threw all kinds of resources to this as well - but performance is so bad that it is simply not usable and we have not even present all 7 k + VMs... It is only arount k 5 of them.

  All are Windows 2008R2-

  VSphere VM Agent has been configured for 4 vCPUs and 12 GB of RAM.  It is on the same network segment and same physical host vCenter so it can work on the same vSwitch and did not have excessive network traffic between the two.  The disk is SAN IBM XIV with 8 GB HBAS.

  The SQL VM is 6 vCPUs and 12 GB of RAM.  Another host, network different segmant and different SAN storage IBM XIV.  This SQL Server computer runs ONLY the DB FL.  The DB is locked to 8 GB of RAM, original disc it size 250 GB and there are a lot of drive.  The vDisk is THICK put into service and latency in the standards.

  The FMS server is on a host dedicated - no other guests running on it (for good troubleshooting purposes has not made difference).  He has all the army all processors to himself, has 32 GB of RAM, the virtual machine's memory is all locked/reserved.

  For all three computers virtual, the vCPUs are not competing, time LOANS are low, there is no memory sharing, balooning, or Exchange and the disks are thick with low latency.

  The FMV of the Agent from the server vSphere is set to 8GB min/max.

  The FMS server JVM is located at 12 GB min/max.

  So you see, we gave er everthing she has, but it is VERY VERY VERY SLOW.  To the point, it is completely unusable.

  As a comparison - VMware vCenter Operations manager is a VAPP 2 - VM, has access to the same vSphere with the same objects and it works perfectly fine and smooth.

  My gut tells me there is something not right in the JVM, but I don't know enough.

  Help, please!

  If you have time next week, we can discuss?  I've worked with a lot of large environments and I would like to see the details of what's going on before I comment in too much detail to lead you down a path or another.

• vSphere vMotion and 5 new license model

  Hi, I'm still not clear to the new vSphere license model 5.

  VRAM right how does not limit the guest computers?

  Let's say that if I buy essential more that supports 3 guests with 2 processors each and its right of vRAM is 32 GB for each processor (3 guests x 2 CPU x 32 = 192 GB MAX).

  It means that I have 192GO in the pool of vRAM?

  So I don't have that one host, I have 192GO for guests running on a single host?

  If the maximum is 32 GB for each host, which is produced in the following conditions?

  1 buy one essential plus

  2. create 2 ESXi hosts to make HA

  3. 5 guest computers run on an ESXi host, and their total of vRAM is almost 32 GB

  4. a guest computer is running on a different host ESXi and put the ESXi prompt second to the first vMotion ESXi.

  5 vMotion will be failed due to the vRAM on the ESXi frist limitaion?

  License is done on a base taken by CPU, which means that you must have a license by socket in each server that you license.

  Each instance of license also has a right to vRAM.  In the case of most, it's 32 GB/socket.

  The Essentials Plus kit includes 6 processor socket and vCenter licenses.

  If you have one host managed by this vCenter, the straight of vRAM (192GB) would be available for this single host, as vSphere Essentials 6 CPU socket licenses are grouped in vCenter, and that a single host to assign the right to the vRAM.

  Don't forget that the vRAM is simply the amount of memory assigned to the virtual machines, not the amount of memory you can install in a host.

  See the book of Pricing and packaging vSphere 5 for more details (http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf) you can also double check everything with account team, VAR or Integrator of which you intend to purchase licenses.

  Now, if you have a cluster of high availability of vSphere, you won't want to use 100% of your memory on each host anyway, as you'll want to keep resources available for a failover situation and reserved.  For 3 guests, as example and no overcommitment of memory, you'll want to make sure that at least ~ 33% of your resources of memory are not used in the event of a host failure.  In the case of say, Essentials Plus, you will have 192 GB of vRAM available straight to your cluster and with a distributed evenly the workload, it would mean 64 GB of vRAM active on each host.  To compensate for HA, hosts resources would probably be sized at a minimum of 96 GB of RAM physical each (64 GB for the active virtual machines and 32 GB for memory of failover ability) or more, depending on the tolerance of the use.  That would mean 288 GB of RAM purchase physical for 3 guests, while only 192GB is licensed based on the right of vRAM.

  If you have only 2 hosts in your cluster, you always have access to the 192GB vRAM right of the kit of Essentials Plus.  Obviously, the numbers will work out differently.  You can use the 96 GB of vRAM on each host, but at this point, you can buy your hosts with at least 192 GB of physical RAM each to accommodate a failure of the host (again, assuming that no overcommitment of memory on the host).

  License in common based on a vCenter server to manage your licenses.

• The addition of storage and the new controller scsi causes existing NIC become ghost

  Hello

  I have two Windows 2003 Enterprise SP2 VM that each have two NICs configured to connect to different networks. When I add additional hard disks (RDM) connected to a new SCSI controller and restart the virtual network adapters one existing machine disappears (it becomes a ghost card) and a new network card with the default config is displayed in its place.

  The result is that I have to go through the process of removing the ghost network card and reconfigure the new card with the correct network settings and connect to the correct port group.

  Anyone know why this is or how to avoid it?

• UCS environment vSphere 5.1 upgrade to vSphere 6 with Nexus 1000v

  Hi, I've faced trying to get the help of TAC and internet research on the way to upgrade to our UCS environment, and as a last thought resort, I would try a post on the forum.

  My environment is an environment of UCS chassis with double tracking, tissue of interconnections, years 1110 with pair HA of 1000v 5.1 running vsphere.  We have updated all our equipment (blades, series C and UCS Manager) for the supported versions of the firmware by CISCO for vSphere 6.

  We have even upgraded our Nexus 1000v 5.2 (1) SV3(1.5a) which is a support for vSphere version 6.

  To save us some treatment and cost of issuing permits and on our previous vcenter server performance was lacking and unreliable, I looked at the virtual migration on the vCenter 6 appliance.  There is nowhere where I can find information which advises on how to begin the process of upgrading VMWare on NGC when the 1000v is incorporated.  I would have thought that it is a virtual machine if you have all of your improved versions to support versions for 6 veil smooth.

  A response I got from TAC was that we had to move all of our VM on a standard switch to improve the vCenter, but given we are already on a supported the 1000v for vSphere version 6 that he left me confused, nor that I would get the opportunity to rework our environment being a hospital with this kind of downtime and outage windows for more than 200 machines.

  Can provide some tips, or anyone else has tried a similar upgrade path?

  Greetings.

  It seems that you have already upgraded your components N1k (are VEM upgraded to match?).

  Are your questions more info on how you upgrade/migration to a vcenter server to another?

  If you import your vcenter database to your new vcenter, it shouldn't have a lot of waste of time, as the VSM/VEM will always see the vcenter and N1k dVS.  If you change the vcenter server name/IP, but import the old vcenter DB, there are a few steps, you will need to ensure that the connection of VSM SVS corresponds to the new IP address in vcenter.

  If you try to create a new additional vcenter in parallel, then you will have problems of downtime as the name of port-profiles/network programming the guestVMs currently have will lose their 'support' info if you attempt to migrate, because you to NIC dVS standard or generic before the hosts for the new vcenter.

  If you are already on vcenter 6, I believe you can vmotion from one host to another and more profile vswitch/dVS/port used.

  Really need more detail on how to migrate from a vcenter for the VCA 6.0.

  Thank you
