• Configuration of high availability in vSphere alarms

  Hello

  We have three ESXi hosts in a cluster and, recently, one of the hosts that failed (I have connected a matter of pension with VMWare to get assistance to research into why).  The virtual machines on this host automatically migrate to the other two hosts in the cluster, but we did not know that this had happened until we saw some VMS showing high CPU ready using vCOPs.

  My boss asked me to alert us if the high availability feature is used as it was the case here.  I looked on Google and the VMWare Web site, but I can't find anything specific but I've only worked with VMWare products for about a month so it could well be that I'm looking for simply not the right thing.

  I would be grateful for any help, as I have said that I am very new to VMWare, so I hope I got all the information that is needed, if it's not made me know.

  See you soon,.

• ODI 11 g high availability features

  Hello

  Is there a link to all official documentation describing how ODI can be configured for high availability, and more specifically, which described how agents and repositories behave in case of failure.

  I saw the notes on how to configure the load balancing between two or more agents.

  However, I would like to know what happens if an agent fails:

  • Is there a process of follow-up that imprisons the failure and tries to restart the agent?
  • In this case, the ODI load balancer will be perfectly direct traffic only to available agents.
  • What happens if the agent fails in the middle of a stage of script performance?
  • Will of the database session, getting lost and rollback?
  • Stop the script or remaining available agents will manage the process of running success?

  Similar requests are the repository itself - if the master repository database or the work fails what is happening? Assuming, the repository is installed on a multiple-node cluster environment, if only one node fails, everything will run scenario fail (and need to reboot) or that there is a transparent failover to the remaining nodes in the cluster housing deposits ODI?

  I have a requirement where the ETL (ODI) system must be available 99.5% of the year and thus resilience is a key factor and I need to understand the capabilities.

  I need to know if high in ODI availability simply means that a process is restarted, if a node or agent fails, or if an existing process will continue until the end due to a transparent failover.

  see you soon,

  John

  Take a look at the link below:

  http://www.rittmanmead.com/2012/03/deploying-ODI-11g-agents-for-high-availability-and-load-balancing/

  I hope this has given a table on this topic clear about close.

  Apart from this we use EM to monitor the status of the Agent.

• IPS 4240 high availability?

  Hello

  4240 running in HA mode?

  Or should I look at 4255 if I need to work in HA mode?

  Kindly help me with this info... Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards
  RAM

  Just to add a little bit to Bob's response.  It is possible for the HA, but as mentioned above, it is not HA as you would expect of a firewall and requires significant network planning and is rather technical in nature.

  The best documentation I could find about the designs HA is in chapter 21 - "Deploying Cisco IPS for high availability" and High Performance of Earworms security CCNP 642-627 official Cert Guide, ISBN: 9780132372107.  She gets quite detailed and explains a large number of different methods.

  I was also able to find some information on this site, but it is at a higher level and does not provide as many options.

  https://www.NetworkWorld.com/community/node/18384

  I had to work HA in some of our environments, and I'm here to tell you, plan ahead, far in advance, test several methods to find one that suits.  We were using a method that I just couldn't find it mentioned anywhere.

• How to set up the single instance of data of high availability and disaster tolerance

  Hi Experts,

  What are the DR options available for synchronization of database at a remote site with a delay of 5 to 10 minutes.

  Application connects to the local site and DR site should be the remote site.

  1 oracle FailSafe with SAN?

  2. What is the security integrated on linux centos/oel solution?

  3. If the storage is on the San (for example) then is it possible to set up a shell script

  which detects if the source database is down for 5 minutes, ride the SAN stored the files of database on the remote computer and

  change the ip in the application, so it will never connect to the source ip address

  Thank you and best regards,

  IVW

  Hello

  Rupture can occur in any level

  1 oracle FailSafe with SAN?

  --> Do check if you have failure in storage, your security will do nothing to bring back data

  --> Seen failsafe, will be only the insurance when MS cluster moving the disc and services to different node, configured services starts.

  2. What is the security integrated on linux centos/oel solution?

  --> Under linux, you need to set the scripts to run, and you can check the option on the cluster OS

  3. If the storage is on the San (for example) then it is possible to configure a shell script that detects if data source is down for 5 minutes, mount SAN stored the files of database on the remote computer and

  change the ip in the application, so it will never connect to the source ip address

  --> This you will get a cluster of BONES...

  Points to note:

  ================

  --> If there is power failure sudden, we can expect there may be lost writing in your data block, which will bring the inconsistency to your data file and redo

  --> Here, there is problem with your drive?

  --> If there is problem with your complete domain controller (how will you mount FS to a remote server?)

  Note what we are discussing was HA and you try to keep an idle server all the time (you have a server with more RAM & CPU)

  Why you can't check an option of CARS, can also have the cluster extension...

  And to avoid the loss of data and to meet the RPO and RTO in all time (same DC came down, storage failure, server crash), you may need to use Oracle data guard...

  Ask questions if you have

• VSphere hosts high availability 2

  Hi all

  I am trying to achieve the following by using the essential plus the package. I had 2 identical machines with 2 TB of storage. The two are running ESXI and I want to configure high availability and load the pendulum. From what I've read on for them is that vmware needs shared storage so kind of san if I want to use high availability. But I don't have this machine, what I want to achieve is the following: Vmware reflects the discs on both machines (network raid 1) and if a hardware failure occurred on one of them, the other machine will start all the vm remaining. In the same way vmware should do load balancing. From what I've read on the internet vmware had VSA, but this has been discontinued. VSAN is not an option, because I don't have 3 machines. One possible option would be for example starwind but I would have preferred an option of vmware itself.

  So in short it is a way to configure high availability and load with 2 hosts balancing and not shared storage? Preferably without third party software.

  Kind regards

  Technically, you can use DRBD and Linux (or FreeBSD and POLE if you're on the dark side of the Moon) to create a device block tolerant replication between a pair of virtual machines running on a hypervisor nodes. Throw in

  failover NFSv4 point mounting on top and you have a nice VMware VM data store. Tons of a defined software storage vendors have exactly this ideology within their virtual storage devices if you do not go to the difference

  However as StarWind Virtual SAN is FREE for the installation of 2 knots in the scenario of VMware (Hyper-V licensing is different if you care) and can be run on a free Hyper-V Server (no need to pay for licenses of Windows), you CAN end up with a faster

  back from road StarWind. Depends on what you want from a set of functionality (iSCSI? NFS? SMB3? Online dedupe? Cache?) and what forum do you prefer for public support to ask questions

  --

  Thank you for your response. I thought that since preparations are exactly the same secondary machine would be able to easily start the vm of lost. For synchronization, I thought it would be something like drbd, when unable to connect with the other secondary hosts will become primary. This works in the case of a hardware failure, and network failure half a brain will take place that must be resolved manually. I play with it replicaton and reconsider the starwind software.

• vSphere high availability 'Élection' fails at 99% 'operation timed out' to 1 of the 2 hosts

  Hello

  We had a system with 1 host ESXi 5.1 with local disks.

  Now, we install redundancy by adding a 5.5 U2 ESXi host and a device of vCenter 5.5.

  After having installed and any addition to vcenter, we went the ESXi 5.1 to 5.5 U2 ESXi. The SAN works correctly (vMotion works on the own NETWORK card).

  Now, if I try to activate the high availability, both servers will install the HA Agent and start "Election".

  All the warehouses of data (4) on the SAN are chosen for the HA heartbeat, response of isolation is "keep it turned on" by default.

  A server will always be this process done, and the other will keep "elect" until it reaches 100% and errors on the operation "election timed out.

  I've seen this problem on both servers, so I think that the 'master' elected does not have the problem, only the "slave".

  I have checked these items and executed, but not worked:

  VMware KB: Reconfiguration HA (FDM) on a cluster fails with the error: operation timed out

  -The services were running

  VMware KB: Configuration HA in VMware vCenter Server 5.x does not work, error: Operation Timed out

  -All the MTU has been set at 1500

  VMware KB: VMware High Availability Configuration fails with the error: unable to complete the configuration of the ag of HA...

  -the default gateway is not the same on the two hosts, but I fixed that. There is no itinerary changes. HA the setting is "leave power." After correction and deactivation/reactivation HA, the problem is always the same.

  VMware KB: Check and reinstall the correct version of the VMware vCenter Server agents

  -J' ran "Reinstall ESX host management agents and HA on ESXi" agent of HA, and I checked that it was uninstalled and reinstalled during the reactivation of HA.

  CP /opt/vmware/uninstallers/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh/tmp
  chmod + x /tmp/VMware-fdm-uninstall.sh
  /tmp/vmware-FDM-uninstall.sh

  I did this for two guests. This fix makes the problem of the election and I was still able to run a HA test successfully, but when after this test, I turned off the 2nd Server (in order to test the PA in the other direction), HA has no failover to 1 and everything remained low. After pressing 'reconfigure HA', the problem of the election appeared again on 1 hosts.

  P.S. I had problems with cold Migration during the implementation of the SAN. After setting up all (vMotion, ESX upgrade), these problems have disappeared.

  When you search for this error, I came to this article: KB VMware: VMware vCenter Server displays the error message: unable to connect to the host

  And this cause could make sense, since the server vCenter changed and IP addressing has been changed during the implementation.

  However, in the file vpxa.cfg, the < hostip > and < serverip > is correct (verified by using https://< hostip > / home).

  Tried this again today, no problem at all.
  

  P.P.S. I have set up several of these systems from scratch in the past without problem (if it is an 'upgrade').

  OK, so the problem is solved.

  I contacted Dell Pro Support (OEM offering the license) and they checked the logs (fdm.log) and found that the default IP gateway could not be reached.

  The default gateway is the ip address by default host isolation, used by HA.

  Because it is an isolated production system, the front door provided proved only for future purposes.

  Now, I've changed the default gateway address of management on the switch plugged into both hosts, namely the ping requests.

  This solved any problem.

• High availability without shared storage?

  
  Hi all

  We have created two new 5.1 without any network vMotion ESXi servers and no shared storage. Client asked for high availability of virtual machines. There are few things that we can look at in this situation as FT and HA, but I know that they will not work without shared storage. VSA is also another option in this case, but it is not flexible and has more limitations than benefits.

  Just check there at - there another solution we can us to provide high availability for virtual machines.

  Thanks in advance for the help.

  Without storage shared (or ASB), it is difficult to provide high availability. Maybe vSphere replication is an option, if you can accept the loss of the latest changes, when it comes to the last line.

• Infrastructure for high availability

  Hi all!

  Stage en currently, Lun project is to implement Davis high availability vmware to deploy it later.

  After a lot time on the tutorial, I realized to a high availability system, to 2 ESX servers, a minimum en SAN Bay.

  Normal after the Vmotion solution seems to me the best. So that Vmotion works must implement vCenter Server integrated into a field.

  My question is about how many card to pay the ESX servers? According to my research, I AI 3: 1 LAN, SAN 1 and 1, pour Vmotion if I don't me not mistaken.

  Then the question that arises is or place vCenter? Place it in a virtual machine or in physics?

  According to what I've read, the best would be to put it in a virtual machine. So in this case, is it possible to put the DC also in a VM or does is in physics by taking into account the possibility of "unavailability.

  Another question: should Hook the ESX version with a license or a version ESXi is sufficient?

  Thank you in advance if someone would have an opinion.

  Hi Tatuxp,

  Welcome to the VMware forums.

  Pour a DC Windows Virtualization, you can find a lot of info in this document:

  • http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/Virtualizing_Windows_Active_Directory.PDF

  You can't start a band with the free version of vSphere. You'll have more info in the FAQ:

  • http://www.VMware.com/products/vSphere-hypervisor/FAQ.html

  Pour the network config, it depends on a lot of your physical infrastructure. If you have physical networks separated, it normal morphologies of ports need you two network for redundancy. If you only have one big switch output and you use a VLAN, you trunk ports and you can put your cards in redundancy to each other. You have a good document that presents the main principles of virtual networks here:

  • http://www.VMware.com/files/PDF/virtual_networking_concepts.PDF

  Finally pour your VMs DC, the fact of having two and use rules qualifirons-affinity allows you to always have an available in even if one of the nodes in the cluster.

  Good luck!

• It is possible and effective: high availability (failover) on 2 guests with local storage?

  Hello

  I have a discussion on the implementation of ha (failover) with 2 guests with local storage.

  My advice is to go with a shared storage. But there is another view, use the cluster failover MS with local storage service to save on the shared storage hardware.

  2 "mirorred" on each host machines. Is it feasible at all?

  The HughesNet: have 2 virtual machines (SQL server and server applications in a highly available environment). The workload of the machines will be raised to 2 very powerful servers that are supposed to be buying.

  1. Please briefly explain a feature of local storage to provide HA.

  2. I got to cluster in the virtual environment, not so I guess that the shared storage is used only in the virtual environment.

  Thank you.

  Michael.

  There is software that can replicate a running, physical or virtual machine to another accessible location on the network. This could be as simple that between two close hosted ESXi of VMS or high-speed WAN. Take a look at things like neverfail, doubletake others.  The costs would probably be a bit prohibitive in a smaller environment. It might be possible and maybe even practice to use a virtual storage device having a failover replication. Use of storage on each host and allows to provide the data store. Open-e

  The Microsoft Clustering solution needs a shared storage.

• High availability of components in the design of vWorkspace tips

  Hi all

  Would ask you some advice regarding the design of vWorkspace components highly available. Suppose that vWorkspace components will be deployed in vSphere or hypervisors managed SCVMM hence HA is in place, if the failure of a host. In this situation, if we still need components redundant (n + 1 VMS) vWorkspace?

  On the other note, I understand that we can add a couple of broker for vWorkspace in vWorkspace Management Console connections and based on KB 99163 it would just work. I'm not sure how the traffic would be when an application is web access? As in, I guess that the connection broker news would be 'defined' at the request of the web call to the broker for connections. Or this is done automatically? Access Web would choose randomly from the broker for connections to go?

  Thanks for any advice in advance

  Kind regards

  Cyril

  Hi Cyril,.

  Big questions. As with any IT architecture in layers, you must plan HA and redundancy at all points of failure required by your environment or level of Service (SLA) agreements. For vWorkspace, the center of his universe is SQL and you must plan accordingly the failure and recovery. In some environments, full backup can meet the requirement of HA. In others, full SQL Cluster, Mirroring, replication, or Always-On configurations may be required. With our broker, we recommend N + 1 deployment in most scenarios HA. When you move peripheral components or enabling, you must evaluate each component and needs its impact of failure as well as its valuation to determine the appropriate AP.

  Load balancing between several brokers is done automatically by logic in the client connectors. In the case of Web access, when you configure the site Web Access in the Management Console, it includes broker list in the Web access configuration xml file. As client connectors, Web Access includes balancing logic that distributes the client load on brokers available automatically.

  If you have any questions about specific components and requirements of HA or architecture, please add them in the discussions.
