good way to low environment vSphere all maintenance

Hello

I want to know what is the right way to lower all vmware infrastructure vspher

I think it should be in the following order

(1) lower all the VMS except vCenter

(2) disable all hosts except running vCenter

(3) then turn off the vCenter

(4) connect to the ESXi host left and shut down that host

(5) then we can stop the shared storage

Am I wrong?

We have 10 Server ESXi and vCenter 1

do this process of changes if we use the money distributed vSwitch?

Thank you

I'm not sure if this will affect your virtual machines, but it is recommended (VMware Best Practice) to turn off your HA, DRS, and DPM in your vCenter to avoid any problem will be your maintenance may cause.

in my experience, I always cut them and vMotion the DC DHCP and vcenter in one box so that I can have this ready next time as I raise the servers and hosts.

  • vSphere 5.5 using the uplink of LBT group that does not have a good way

    We use LBT since our recent deployment, which is new for us.  Everything seemed fine and dandy, until recently the VMs began dropping their connectivity to what looked like at random times.  The first fix out the door had to disconnect and reconnect the vNIC for each virtual computer.  Sometimes, it took a few tries before it worked.  We discovered that LBT moved VMS to the other group of uplink, which was a physical affair.  Unfortunately, someone didn't configure the port correctly on the remote switch, so while link came, he could not access the VLAN correct.  My question is, why the LBT would move virtual machines to an uplink group which did not have a good way?  He seeks only a physical link?  Looks like this problem waiting to happen.  Or, more likely, we have something misconfigured.  Any help would be wonderful, I don't like the idea to return to etherchannel or LACP with IP hash with blades chassis.  Thank you!

    My question is, why the LBT would move virtual machines to an uplink group which did not have a good way?

    Is that a "good path" can mean many different things in different circumstances of different points of view, if it's out of reach for LBT. It will be only on the physics of the status of the link. There is beacon probing too which can detect switch upstream outages but it can be used only with at least 3 vmnic uplinks and it has a few disadvantages, see:

    http://thomaslowblog.blogspot.de/2011/10/vswitch-network-failover-detection.html

    You can use the dvSwitch health check feature to make sure that all the natachasery of all the hosts connected to a dvSwitch can access the same VLAN. It will not prevent LBT to move virtual machines, but it will at least raise an alarm if a bear cannot access a VIRTUAL LAN. Take a look at this article:

  • It is best to run low battery or all the way down between cycles?

    Original title: charging the battery

    It is best to run low battery or all the way down between cycles? It hurt battery to keep our laptop plugged into a large part of the time?

    Hello

    Most modern laptops use lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries.

    If frequently drain you a lithium-ion battery, and then recharge it, it can quickly lose its ability to hold a charge, which also affects the accuracy of the battery meter.

    The practice of completely draining the battery and then full charge is recommended which applied on the old batteries to nickel-cadmium (NiCd) and, to a lesser extent, the batteries to nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH).

    Lithium-ion batteries last longer if you load them often, a little at a time and try to maintain a minimum load of about 40 percent capacity.

  • What is a good way to use the queues for the model of consumers/producers?

    Hi all

    I am following the model of consumers/producers to use the queue to synchronize the following process: the producer is a loop to produce a number N, I will put each number generated in a table and after each 5 numbers generated, I put the table in the queue and pass it on to the consumer. I have to wait the use by consumers of the data and it will then remove the item from queue so that producers will have the chance to produce another 5 numbers. As I put the maximum size of the queue one, I expect that the producer and the consumer turns to produce / consume all five numbers and the opportunity to another. Here is my code

    When the checkbox is false, the code will be

    For the first 5 numbers, product will generate every thing right and put it in the table, and it's going to pass the array to the quere so that the consumer will have the chance to loop through the table. I except the procude loop will continue only when the queue is available (i.e. all items are deleted), but it seems that once the consumer starts the loop loop of the product will continue (if the indicator x + 1 and x 2 will be changed to numbers). But this isn't what I want, I know there must be something wrong, but I can't say it is.

    As you say in 1, sequency structure to enforce the order of execution, that's why I put it here, in this example, the simple question, I replace the complete code with increase in the number, in the real case, the first markers + 1 and + 2 must be performed in this order.

    Mikeporter says:
    1. get rid of all the structures of the sequence. None of them are nothing but apply a work order which would have been the same without them.

    So even if you delete the sequence structure, there will be a fixed & defined order and it is because LabVIEW follows the MODEL of FLOW OF DATA.

    Data flow model (more precisely in the context of LabVIEW): a block diagram node runs when it receives the required inputs. When a node is running, it produces output data and transmits data to the next node in the path of the data stream. The flow of data on the nodes determines the order of execution of the VIs and functions on the block diagram (click here for reference).

    Now in your code, just remove the sequence structure will not make you order will be going to stay the same, but you need to do some very minor changes (as thread of the error in loop, before that he go to the node "Élément Dequeue").

    Come to the main point: it's a good way to use the queue for the consumer/pmodel that?
    The model you are using (and qualifying as consumer/pmodel) is much too deviated from the original consumer/pmodel which model.

    dragondriver wrote:

    For the second, Yes, it's my fault for delete, though. I'm actually the example of model of producer/consumer design pattern, but I do not pay attention to the while loop in the part of the consumer.

    While loops (two producers & consumers) are the essential part of this architecture and cannot be deleted. You can start your code using standard model.

  • Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    Our planning cubes become too big with 5 years of forecasting and budgeting data.

    Is there a good way to archive historical data?

    How you guys do it?

    I know a simple way is easy make a copy planning essbase cubes.  However, is there text, attachments and support details, these will be lost unless there is a way to archive a RDBMS repository data for planning.  Even in this case - all links and hooks of the Essbase cubes in these RDBMS repository will be broken.

    The old fashion method is to print all reports in PDF and archiving.

    Given that the plan changes every month, reprocess you history until you check in?

    Thanks for your advice.

    This can be done in 2 ways...

    1. just make a copy of the old 'DATA' in text file or another essbase cube history. Clear only the historical data for the current application. This will keep other information as text in the intact cell. In case the user wants to refer to the old texts/support cell details they can do by going directly into the application and for part of data, they can look in old PDF report.

    2. a copy of the planning application to create a copy of the current request. Keep all old data, text etc in old app of cells. All previous reports also point this app. Then erase current app and can be simply provide read access to older data App users can be trained to use older applications for all historical data and current app for existing budgets. Also this app can be used during the period of archiving all data.

  • Is there a good way to do it?

    Is there a good way to write messages of errors in PL/SQL? For example:

    IF < variable > IS NULL THEN

    dbms_output.put_line ("' error message");

    END IF;

    OR

    IF < variable > IS NULL THEN

    RAISE < exception >;

    END IF;

    What is the most correct? Or maybe the two are quite right?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Dbms_output is a good way of packing to write messages for debugging PL/SQL code.  It is not very good for anything else.  It is particularly inappropriate for the error messages, since the output can easily be missed, if it is never displayed at all.

    The second way you posted (STIMULUS) is good.  Create user-defined exceptions and RAISE them explicitly.

    Hello

    If you ready to welcome video on the host server you can do this by importing mp4 files in the current folder and then you can use the HTML code to play this video in HTML5 player and you can set the size in code.

    Please take a look at the steps of the example.

    1. go to file > add files to download > (select the file you want and it will be moved in the current folder)

    2. go to object > insert HTML and the following code Type code

    ' assets / "Filename".mp4" type =" video/mp4">".

    "Filename" should be replaced with the exact name of the video file that you imported in step 1

    3. you can change the width and height according to your requirement.

    This will create the image of the video in HTML5 player, and you can place it in the Page as a pet your condition.

  • What is a good way to check if the selection ADB sql cursor returns nothing

    Hi all

    I am trying to find a good way to identify that a select SQL basic cursor return nothing.
    I know that or we use exception when no data found or count (*) to check how many rows are returned.


    I have a cursor based on a long statement select.
    As
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE aaa (v_input IN NUMBER, v_output OUT VARCHAR2)
         CURSOR long_cursor IS

         --Get information from cursor
            --other processing for output
        End loop;
      END IF;

    Hello Ann,.

    Apart from the possibility has already been mentioned that other users can change the data during execution of your process, you can check if something needs to be done without the COUNTY. Set a flag in the cursor for loop. When there is no data, then the flag will not change one you can perform the necessary procedure.

    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE aaa (v_input IN NUMBER, v_output OUT VARCHAR2)
    
        v_data_found    BOOLEAN := FALSE;
        CURSOR long_cursor IS
            --long select statement(with input variable) ;
    
    BEGIN
        For record in long_cursor loop
            v_data_found := TRUE;
            --Get information from cursor
            --other processing for output
        End loop;
        IF NOT v_data_found THEN
            -- set processed flag
        END IF;

  • dbms_crypto - avoid error when using different key in lower environment

    Hello Experts,

    We use Oracle 11.2.0.2. We intend to implement dbms_crypto to encrypt some columns. Clone us the production data at the lower environment (DEV, QC).

    The lowest environments, we do not want to obtain the sensitive data from production and do not plan to use the same key. Instead of getting an error when using different keys, is it possible to get a different set of results.

    In other words, we want the implementation will be same in environments but use a different key in lower environment and obtain different results (or garbage).

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The test of this logic, I get following error when using the different keys to decrypt. It works fine if I use the same key.
    Error on line 1
    ORA-28817: PL/SQL function has returned an error.
    ORA-06512: at "SYS." DBMS_CRYPTO_FFI', line 67

                                             typ => DBMS_CRYPTO.des_cbc_pkcs5, 
                                             key => l_key);
    
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Encrypted : ' || RAWTOHEX(UTL_RAW.cast_to_raw(l_encrypted_raw)));

                                             key => l2_key); --**Using different key to decrypt
    
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Decrypted : ' || UTL_RAW.cast_to_varchar2(l_decrypted_raw));
    END;
    Thank you.

    In general, you can't get different results in different environments, no.

    Of course, you could write your routine to decrypt so that it intercepts it and returns a random string of RAW.

    However, this is not normally the way people go on hiding sensitive data in environments below. It would be much more common to use a tool that is designed for this tool. For example, Oracle has a Pack of masking of data for Enterprise Manager that allows to replace sensitive data with false, but realistic data as part of the updating of the environments below. There are also data from third-party tools like masqueur datamasking.

  • Good way to start with learning the concepts of 11g

    Hello

    I have a work experience on the BEA weblogic server 8.1 sp4 on which I have worked for about 2 years now. My current mission requires work to Installation / development and deployment on the server of Fusion middleware 11g. Could some body if you please suggest me a good way to start with learning the concepts of 11g.

    I understand that all the documentation is available in the Oracle forum, but I want to know where to go.

    My essential tasks in the assignment would be
    1. installation (OSB on top of WLS).
    2 development/configuration on OSB.
    3 deployment and administrative tasks.

    Kind regards
    Angelique

    Some former OSB tutorials are mentioned here: Oracle OSB - tutorial for using Eclipse plugin development

    The development of OSB guide (which shows how to use Eclipse) can be found here: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/doc.1111/e15866/toc.htm

    For now (to my knowledge), Eclipse is used for the development of OSB. Note that JDeveloper is used for development with the Oracle SOA Suite (for example Oracle BPEL).

  • Compile / good way to save?

    I wonder, is it a good way to save when you work with adobe illustrator? It is because I have noticed that although illustrator is vector, when I work with her, and tried to select all my layers and resize them (all in one, all layers are selected) small, they are screwed up as if it is be pixelated...

    To resolve this problem, I tried the experiment and the flatten transparency, I found.  He has worked on my habits of illustrator. Even I adapt my work to the smallest size (size of the regular icons), it is always recognizable and I feel the power of the vector.

    But then, with my last practice, it seems that flatten transparency can no longer help me. When I tried my last project to the smallest size (size of the regular icons)nationally, it began to look as if it were to be rasterized. Quality has dropped down, and my work is no longer recognizable.

    This made me think that's really a good way to save? Some kind of a thing of compilation? Where when I adapt my work to a smaller size, it's always look ok? Thank you! See you soon!

    Kind regards

  • Is there a way to force to render all clips in the work area?

    Is there a way to force to render all clips in the work area? All clips: not only those with horizontal red line indicating that they need rendering! I ask this because videos made preview very well unrolled, but UN-rendered ones are not! My source of the layer film (project and) imply Full HD (1920 * 1080i 25 fps).

    If a Clip has not made, it will not be rendered.

    Basically, what the rendering is to convert the Clips, that don't require not rendered, DV - AVI (DD on a PC projects). This will produce AVI in the media Cache files, make files, and for reading, pre will rely on those. If you look in the folder of files of rendering, you'll see a bunch of files named in the abstract, but these files are now linked in the PREL (project file) and will be used by the program for reading.

    If one were to remove those go files and open this project in the first instance, they would receive a message, 'where's the file 04u434ip0ow. AVI? "[Note: that is just one example of the rendered file name abstract and is not the real name, you'd see.]. Could not ignore those missing now render files, and where they were used, it would be red lines on the clamps.

    As Steve mentions, rendering files are used only for smoother playback. As I use DV - AVI SD projects files on my PC, I have no need of rendering for a reading that is more gentle, until I have changes to the Clips, as superimposition of PiP, effects, titles, etc... I could never restore the timeline, even with these additions, but sometimes, I make a small segment several times, especially with animation effects, that I adjust the settings.

    If it does not receive more smooth playback, then make all the files to be rendered usually reading will greatly improve.

    Good luck and I hope it makes sense.
