• Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

  Hi all

  Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

  We can use it with exchange, sql, sharepoint,..., but I can't find any document for file server.

  Thank you.

  HIT / working ME with CSV W2K12/R2, W2K8 CSV volumes cannot bear not to cancel the MAPPING is the main difference.  But HITTING / will allow ME to create the active copies and replicas of volumes CSV

  Yes the cluster file shares are supported with SUCCESS / me.    If you think about it, SQL, Exchange are indeed a "sharing".   Because it is an NTFS volume with services that run against her.  SQL, Exchange or fileshare services.

• Replication Failover clustering & Hyper-v on a two-node cluster

  Hello

  We have two identical servers.  One to use as a main server, which houses two virtual machines.  The other should be used as a back up in case the main server is not somehow.  We planned on using a solution of third-party software to back up our virtual machines and launch them in the event of failure of the principal server.  However, we discovered just gave the failover clustering in Windows Server R2 2012.

  We have tried to set up a cluster 2 nodes, with our virtual machines properly replicated to the backup server.  Excited by the present, we tried then to simulate failure of the primary server (by pulling on the cable network).  We were a little disappointed to find that the backup server is not automatically run virtual machines.  We did a survey and read than a solution of two nodes requires storage space for additional network (in addition to our two servers).

  I wonder if that's okay?  In other words, a two-node failover cluster requires separate network storage space.  If this is not correct, can someone point me to a set of instructions to correctly configure a two-node failover cluster that will automatically launch the virtual machines on the server backup (in the case of a failure of the principal server).

  Thank you

• Microsoft Failover Clustering - issue of persistent reservations

  Hello

  I am trying to set up a fresh Win 2008 R2 failover cluster on my 5.0 ESXi hosts and unfortunately the verification of the cluster fails with an isssue of persistent reservation.

  I follow all the kb articles and white papers correctly build 2 VM of the client as follows:

  Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1

  NIC for public traffic

  NETWORK map for the private heartbeat traffic

  Disk EagorThickZero for system

  RDM added in physical compatibility mode

  Controller SCSI (1:0) used in physical mode for both nodes

  Storage matrix that I use is a 5300 VNX

  I have Powerpath 5.7 running on each host ESXi

  Does anyone have an idea where this problem?

  I have attached the below error message.

  

  Hello

  The two guests are running on the same host? Have you tried posting when they are running on different hosts?

• SQL 2008 Clustering on VM workstation 8

  Dear all,

  I am trying to configure SQL 2008 clustering on VM workstation 8. Until now what I did I would describe you below.

  (1) install Windows 2008 R2 64-bit VM001

  (2) install Windows 2008 R2 64-bit VM002

  After the creation of the above VM, I packed two HDD a VM001 follow the steps.

  • I created two discs Quorum drive, then a drive information.
    

  Then select each drive and delete in material management thing.

  Now I sail in the directories where my Virtual Machines is kept and VM001, open the .vmx file in Notepad. and add lines folloing the end of the file.

  When I added above lines, two virtual machines (VM001 and VM002) were closing in.

  Then I did following steps.

  • Start VM001.
    
  • Right-click on desktop of | Manage the. Navigate to the disk management node.
    
  • Make sure that both drives are Of Basic Volumes.
    
  • Quickly put in the form and bind them to the letters lead for example; Q and R (quorum and resources).
    
  • Then start VM002
    
  • From the node Management disk in the Management Console, you should see both drives.
    
  • I just 'change' their drive letters.
  
  
• Give them the same drive letters you gave them for VM001.


• Stop the server.
  

Now can someone please guide me the steps to set up the SHARING STORAGE and configuration on the addition of CLUSTERING in WINDOWS 2008 R2 64 BIT. EA

Thank you

Windows 2008 clustering requires the support of SCSI-3 persistent reservation on drives that is not provided by VMware "shared SCSI bus" configurations or one of the 'open source' iSCSI targets The best way to get W2K8 go clustering is to use something like target RocketDivision StarWind iSCSI (http://www.rocketdivision.com/) to offer 'shared' storage, then use the W2K8-built-in iSCSI initiator to connect to cluster storage...

• Research in migration Exchange and SQL from physical servers to virtual machines... thoughts?

  Hi all, I use VMs for several years now, however back to the use of VMWare. I am currently running ESXi 4 on 2 servers separate host, with about 16 small resource type of the applications without any problem. I heard years keep intensive stuff like Exchange and SQL out of a VM guest, for reasons of system, but now I see a ton of articles from VMWare and windows push the thing to do. I have a relatively small environment compared to what they are touting... I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has any experience/thoughts on this? If I go this route I would probably look to buy some of the nicer features instead of using just the free version of ESXi.

  My current Setup uses HP DL360G5 servers that are coming out of warranty early next year, with the disk subsystem provided by a built environment of Equallogic iSCSI, on an isolated GB network SAN. I thought rather than buy 2 replacement servers that I can put the money to the full version of vSphere with some other goodies it offers.

  My Exchange environment is a relatively small number of boxes letters, but larger in size, running 2003 currently with 200 mailboxes to about 300 GB of space. I intend to switch to 2007 or 2010 next year as part of the migration of VM. I have to go to the next version will include likely standing another server, so I might be looking to buy 2 servers instead of 1.

  My SQL environment is small to begin with, a single instance of SQL 2005 with about 20 DB 120 GB in total size.

  2 guest machines I have are two Quad-processor Xeon dual socket with 16 GB and 24 GB of RAM, with less than 50% of RAM use each... and the processing power is hardly be affected at all.

  Sorry that it's a lot of info, I hope it makes sense for someone...

  Fix.

  You just need to do some analysis of storage before you virtualize servers in order to understand the needs of e/s. But if you move storage to local disk then any loss of performance, you can get to virtualize the server is offset by the gains in terms of the solution of SAN - faster storage & drives high-performance, virtual RAID, active\active controllers, cache... etc.

• mySQL and SQL Toolkit 2.0

  Hello

  I use a database mySQL and sql toolkit 2.0 in application of Labwindows CVI.

  I have a problem when the database increases in size. Indeed, when the number of records reached 3 million, the program memory is 1.7 GB. So, it stops on an Out of Memory error.

  The program memory increases when I use the DBActivateMap function, before adding the records.

  For now, I use the following method to add records:

  DBBeginMap

  DBMapColumnToDouble

  DBMapColumnToDouble

  ...

  DBActivateMap

  DBCreateRecord

  DBPutRecord

  Will there be another opportunity to open the table and add records?

  Thank you for your help.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use sql statement directly to y to insert a data, for this, you can use this function:

  And for the sql statement you can use:

• For TMS Win2008 Server and SQL Server client access licenses?

  Where, I read that the TMSXE interface requires a CAL on the Exchange Server.  What I can't seem to locate is all information about client access licenses how are required to Win2008 R2 Server Standard Edition and SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard.  Is there a reference document that I'm missing with this information.  It seems that according to Microsofts definitions, you might need a CAL by user device and/or managed web that connects to the web interface.

  Can someone clarify the situation?

  Hello world

  So should put the closure of this thread, I have now clarified what follows when it comes to TMS and MS licenses:

  Users and administrators to connect to TMS authenticate AD, the server that hosts the TMS must be allowed to support authenticated connections. Don't authenticate TMS Managed/configure with AD devices via the web server. As a result, and as managed devices does not authenticate against IIS with AD login, these types of connections don't require licenses. Only users who connect to the Web site would be.

  The issue of Exchange and SQL are similar, that is, authenticated connections how are made?

  Of MSDS, all connections to SQL server use the same authenticated account, by default uses a SQL login.  Web site users are not authenticated to SQL Server. Therefore, and in the case of an external SQL Server, this would be equal to one.

  When communicating with Exchange, all connections are through a unique service account. Created for managed systems the mailboxes are not connected by users or MSDS for normal operation. As a result, and as with an external SQL Server, this would be also equal to one.

  Hope that clarifies completely now

• How Oracle Clusterware Oracle RAC and 3rd-party Clustering with them

  I have some questions on how Oracle, Oracle RAC and 3^rd party clustering CLusterware fit between them.

  Q1. My understanding is that the Infrastructure Grid Oracle Clusterware is Oracle's Clustering solution that allows applications to cluster? that is, it is a general clusterware solution to compete with those already on the market. Is this correct?

  Q2. So why CARS is necessary for the Oracle cluster databases? An Oracle database is not just considered one application like any other? So why can not just use you GI / Clusterware to gather what you would do for any other application? Why so you need RAC to the Clusterware Summit?

  Q3. Is it is possible to combine an Oracle database using 3^rd party of clustering and not use Oracle Clusterware and CARS at all that is can you say cluster, an Oracle database using say Sun Clusters, Clustering AIX or Linux native same clustering?

  Q4. If the RAC is purely for Oracle Cluster databases - what is with the title "Real Application Clusters"? What's real on this subject?, what to ask?

  Q5. I also read that RAC can use 3^rd party of clustering. However if you decide that this is the case, then you need to install Oracle Clusterware when even (I think for interconnection must be created to allow the merger with Cache between Instances of node?).

  Is this the case?  If yes why never bore you with 3^rd party clusters? -Since you will have to install Oracle Clustering anyway - and I probably have to license (all I can think about is the scenario that you already have a cluster of 3^rd party in place and you decide that you need to use the same material for a database cluster)?

  All wisdom greatly appreciated,

  Jim

  Yes, with 10g, you had to use the CRS, and with 11g, to use the GI.  For 9i RAC, you would use Verits Cluster and Sun Cluster or anything else.

  11g RAC to GI.  As above, you can use clusterware extra if needed.  I gave the example above where to a 10g RAC we used the CRS to the cluster database/listener/vip and allowing groups of volume and filesystem in HACMP cluster.  File systems were not shared, but could switch to another node failure node, who has been treated by HACMP.  The volume of the groups containing the raw devices were shared volume groups.  For 11g, I never used extra clusterware on top of CRS and have always used ASM which is part of the GI.

  The application provider only certified database to run on 10g on AIX with raw devices.  What is strange about that?  It would be unusual that you probably expect to use ASM instead of raw devices, but it is what it is.

  See the following Note of Oracle for more information: using Oracle Clusterware with vendor Clusterware FAQ (Doc ID 332257.1)

  It is perhaps easier to explain if you can explain what problem you are trying to solve?

• POOR and SQL Profiler

  Hello

  Is it possible to get the POOR sent to the ATG repository and SQL queries?

  I tried to enable the logging of debugging for atg/dynamo/service/jdbc/SQLRepository/and/atg/Dynamo/service/jdbc/SwitchingDataSource /, but it did not help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm not sure the description of your problem which is exactly the problem. If you want to get information from a repository of debugging, you need activate the component repository questioned against loggingDebug. for example if you are working with the product catalog you turn on loggingDebug on/atg/commerce/catalog/ProductCatalog, of the component. This would print published as SQL debugging messages.

  If that's not enough can you describe in detail what is the problem.
