HA or FT for the maintenance of the server?

I'm spinning upwards a new print server into our VMWare / ESXi 5.5 environment.

Of course, I would be able to take it offline for maintenance (updates in service packs, microsoft updates, etc.) without keeping the whole of the company to be able to print.

I have HA cluster fault tolerance and Setup connecting to our network of vmotion enabled. I can activate FT on a test of the virtual machine.

So how I 'failover' in secondary VM and the newspaper in the fermenter to make updates? Then, I would need to return to the use of the primary. And push the changes to the secondary image.

Also, by the way, I had to do all this work in the thick client. Appear my VM primary and secondary in the thick client, but not in the web client.

Thank you!

The answer is no... you can get what you want with the comments... clustering solution VMware solutions, as HA/FT can provide better availability of your virtual print server machine, but to do maintenance on the guest operating system, you will need to an other 'active' OS serving guest users, which is not the case of HA/FT.

    I use outlook express 6 and I can receive an email of great but when I try to send it after making the necessary changes, i.e. the signature I get the message "too big for the server" responses I've seen so far tell me absolutely nothing

    Well, the error message says it all.  "" too big for server".

    There is a limit imposed by your ISP/mail server, which you don't mention.

    Not only the servers have limits on the size, this is not necessarily the same for incoming and outgoing messages.

    If you say you use the e-mail program and the name of your e-mail server, maybe we can shed light on the more specific issue, but the problem is definitely with them and not Outlook Express.

    P.S. I'm not sure what you mean by 'signature'

    The hp1100su.dll is a part of the driver for the printer.

    What you could try is uninstalling and reinstalling the driver of printer using the version of HP.

    I believe that the following may be the printer:

  • CNVCreate Reader: Service search failed for the server. errno:-6338

    Hey guys.  I'm talking about a LabVIEW application with my CVI application using shared variables, but I'm running into some issues that I can't solve.  The first question has to do with this error to the subjectl line.  I get this only after two calls to CNVCreateReader.  I don't know if there is anything wrong with my formatting of the call, but I suspect it has to do with something that I do not forget to do before you create more than one drive.  There are a total of about seven shared variables are Insider/instantiated by the LabVIEW program.  I'll call programmatically the LabVIEW program before you run code that communicates with the shared variables (LaunchExecutableEx).  My second question has to do with the writing of these same shared variables.  I can read a single very well and the data corresponding with the frontage of the LabVIEW application.  However, when I try to make a call to CNVWrite, I get an error of access denied (cannot write) style.  I suspect that the LabVIEW programmer must do something for the shared variables to allow me to write them, but I wanted to just help you guys ' first entry.  I'm in LabWindows/CVI v.9.0.1 and LabVIEW executable was built in LabVIEW 2009 so I also installed the runtime library 2009 LV.

    Thank you.

    Waiting gives time to other threads to execute their tasks, which suggests that the nets were this hungry. The connection used by CNVReader has more latency and overhead because it is synchronous and requires two-way communication. If you call CNVRead in a loop, then certainly you should also sleep/wait in the loop or you'll miss other threads. I recommend using instead of connections CNVCreateSubscriber or CNVCreateBufferedSubscriber - these are asynchronous connections and are much more effective and you won't wait.

    The variable Manager shows the type that has been set up during the creation of the variable and not the type of the current value. It is possible that the variable has been initially configured as single-byte and not signed - you can always write byte unsigned to a configured as single variable value. I also seen cases where the variable Manager obtains the type badly in some cases. Please also check the type in the Distributed - System Manager it is a more recent program and replaces the Variable Manager. In addition, you should check how the program initially configured LabVIEW variable. The problem of this type should not be bound to the error you get when reading.

  • SAN HQ of credentials for the server

    I'm a bit confused as the HQ SAN server credentials...  I have installed and configured a new HQ SAN excecution 3.1.0 Server everything is in place and running in parallel to our 3.0.1 existing server.  I can run the app and authenticate with my creds Domain Admin of the server no problem (ie: not lessened connection).

    However, I installed the version of the client alone on my local machine (on a different domain).  When I run the application, I use the "run as" and use my creds admin area on the appropriate field.  However, this doesn't seem to be able to authenticate successfully with the 3.1.0 server.  So I find myself with the degraded connection.  error: "unable to establish a communication server. Please verify the credentials and try again.  Could not establish connection with the server; Check the credentials provided or contact the system administrator.  Apart from having degraded connection, everything seems to be speaking / communication.

    Also BTW - works very well with the same client that connects to the old server running 3.0.1 - no problem same field, same configuration creds, etc..  Any ideas?

    Found the question - firewall.  Correction of the problem allowed port TCP 8000 for domain as well as the public.

  • Certificate for the server connection warning

    Hi all

    is there a way to disable the red icon on the servers of connection establishes a link for the self-signed certificate, invariably with a certification authority?

    Thank you all!

    Matrix

    It is best to install a trusted CA signed certificate. This will not eliminate only the caveat, but will also allow your users the assurance that they connect to an authentic environment and minimizes the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.

  • View domain for the server connection help please

    OK, I don't know where to put this so I hope it's a good place. I tried to install view connection server on my last windows 2003 server. I built a laboratory at home with a dedicated server for vCenter, AD and view connection. When trying to install view connection Server 4.5 sound telling me:

    "This computer is a member of a domain, but no server connection can be found. Please make sure that this computer is properly connected to a domain and that a domain controller is available before to perform this installation again'

    OK, so I logged on windows Server 2003 view connection using active directory so why it gives me this error?

    Thank you.

    Start by pingging your AD server's DNS server.  Also, try ping the DNS server of the virtual machine that you are trying to install the view on.  You can try it joined to the domain by using the command NET DOM.  We do in our environment at all correct control but can not quite understand our this is the problem.  You can also check the event viewer on the virtual computer to see if he throws all Kerberos events associated with the certificate expiring this testimony of course that the server may need to be joined to the domain.  The virtual machine was interrupted for a while?

    See you soon,.

  • Licensing for the server on the site of DR

    Not 100% sure of my terminology as I am new to all this, please bear with me!

    At our headquarters, we have a server VMware ESXi 4.0.0 loner and we use vCenter and vSphere 4.0 license (2xCPU).

    So far so good.

    At our DR site, we run the free ESXi 4.0.0

    The recovery site is not a (live) "hot" site, apart from occasional (once or twice a year) tests where we restore from backups for testing and so on.

    We use Veeam backup software, and because their software does not allow direct restore to freedom of ESXi hosts, the restore process is two steps: (1) disk space backup restore temporary; then copy VM to ESXi disk files and start them

    I wonder if I can install my licenses for our live Webcam VMware server to the DR server, given that, apart from the occasional tests, they would never at the same time.

    It would go directly to the backup media to the ESXi host under license, the restore process, rather than the 2-step process.

    Q. What does VMware allow me to perform with my licenses for a DR scenario?

    I have discussed this issue with VMware.

    You can use the same license (no need to buy new) for the remote site if there is no load on ESX remote, and just waiting for if something happens.

    With Veeam, you can use the replication instead of restore backups.

  • Reservation of memory for the server sqql

    Hello

    I am running two SQL servers with 4 virtual CPUs and each has 12G of RAM available.

    We have noticed that sql process uses only 180MB of RAM while SQL is designed to use all available memory... We decided to use a reservation of memory for these boxes and grant a full 12 GB for each booking.

    (1) that would be really useful?

    (2) I noticed that after having reserved memory, that the system has taken something like 10 minutes to start, can anyone explain to me why?

    Thank you

    The shares of resources can be adjusted if necessary. I don't think that you need. As well as the host has only a single virtual machine now, who knows what the future may bring. You add multiple virtual machines and you will start to do the math. ESX let his work resources and balance. If you see performance degradation then start looking at the distribution of resources.

    As for the CPU that the virtual machine is not the only object on the system might compete for processor resources, you also have the SC. When you give the VM 4 vCPU find the system to wait on the availability of all hearts.

    You can reduce the number to 2 and even play with the processor affinity if you want, you should try to determine the weather your SQL system really needs the CPU/MEM tweaks (in my experience IO is the cause of the headache of performance most SQL).

  • Configuring SSL for the server SOA

    Hi all

    I am wrkin on SOA suite 11 g. I'm tryin to implement transport-level security. All first authentication 1-way and 2-way mutual authentication. For this I have to activate the SSL for the SOA server that is managed by the administration WLS server. According to my knowledge the WLS comes with demoidentity and demotrust keystore. If I need configure SSL for server SOA do I need to create a new keystore and CA, s, or I can use keystore demo.

    Now, in case I need to create a new keystore that can I do the same thing using keytool utility. Also, is it possible to do this using keytool utility? If Yes, please provide me with some links on how to do the same.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Shlomit,

    If I need configure SSL for server SOA do I need to create a new keystore and CA, s, or I can use keystore demo.

    You can use the keystore Demo dev purposes, but it is NOT recommended to use demo keystore for use in production.

    in case I need to create a new keystore that can I do the same thing using keytool utility

    Yes, you can do this using the Keytool utility.

    is it possible to do this using keytool utility?

    In fact, you can generate a self-signed certificate and use it as a certification for CSR signing authority.

    Please provide me with some links on how to do the same thing

  • How can I disable the encryption Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) for the server SSH on ACS 5.5.0.46?

    Hi, a security audit found that the server SSH on our 5.5.0.46 ACS service is configured to support encryption of the network (CBC, Cipher Block Chaining) load balancing. This may allow a recovery attackerto the message plaintext to the ciphertext.

    The Adviser is to enable the encryption mode cipher CTR or GCM - how is this possible? Is this something that you can run the command line?

    Thank you.

    Unfortunately at this time there is not a supported method to disable this option on ACS.
