Make VMOTION on a different server with different, example HP and DELL

A colleague asked me a strange question of VMOTION, you can go,

You have HP DL380 G5 and a DELL Power edge 1620 (or anything) in a cluster as ESX host. Now if I want to use VMOTION between these two servers, should what precautions I take?

Please let me know because I have never tried as we all HP inside the VC as ESX Server.

Thank you

Anky

There is no vMotioning fast problem between different manufacturers of servers - Andre's notes it is critical CPU compatibility - so if Dell and HP servers have the same processor (or family) that vmotion will work

  • VMware HA with 2 x ESXi and Dell MD3000i?

    Hi all

    I have a task at hand to set up with VMware HA.

    What I've done so far,

    (1) to this end, I have 2 identical Dell PE 2950 servers and Dell MD 3000i as storage device.

    (2) installed ESXi 4 in servers (ESXi1 and ESXi2) and configured the static IP.

    (3) I configured the iSCSI SAN (MD3000i) and created the host (VMHA) group.  Added the two hosts in the host group

    (4) virtual disk created, which will be shared by both hosts and it mapped to the host group.

    I know how to install vCenter and how to create the HA cluster as well as adding guests inside.  But before that, I have a few questions.

    According to the theory the shared storage must be accessible by the two hosts.  How can I add storage shared on SAN in the hosts.  I know that the navigation, but miss me the theory somewhere.  I added shared as Datastore2 and ESXi1 and formatted with VMFS3 storage.  Now how could I add the same storage shared in ESXi2?  When I tried to add, the steps asked me to format again shared storage that I can't do?

    Thank you all for all the remedies fast

    Nadine

    You analyze it again on the second (and subsequent).   Add the that storage is being used on the first host.

  • Make ESXi appear as a server with a mac and several base10 IP

    I have a few on my network restrictions that force me to use a specific MAC address, although I ask several base10 IP to point to it.

    First of all, is it possible to set up ESXi so he IP addr-based NATs everything behind a real physical MAC and forward for virtual hosts?

    If not, is it possible to put in place a more classic NAT where I redirect ports on a true IPv4 ports on a virtual internal network?

    Google searches increase for most of those who want to do those things within their virtual networks, so I had trouble finding examples of this configuration.

    ESXi does not include services originating or a firewall for virtual machines.   One option is just to expose a single VM to the Internet and it would provide the services of your firewall.   But this creates a problem with management of ESXi.  With patch for example, you will need to stop all your virtual machines, which means that you would have access to your ESXi host (say the virtual machine provides VPN services) from a remote location.

    You would be better with a firewall device hardware before the ESXi host and your virtual machines.

  • I have only 2 IP address, how do I set up a server with 1 Ubuntu ESXi and 1 Win2003 VM?

    I have only 2 IPs for 3 systems: an ESXi server and two virtual machines on it.

    How to set up so that I can access remote systems 3?

    Thank you!

    ESXi does not include a firewall.  It uses a reverse proxy to filter incoming connections to the various services running, but it doesn't have the ability to pass this traffic on virtual machines.  Unlike VMware Workstation or Server, ESXi is designed to separate virtual machines hosted on it.

  • Cloning by rman on a different server with the directory structure different and different DBNAME in EBS 11i using quick Clone

    Hello

    We want only DB (not apps) cloning through PROD rman, step TEST EBS 11i using quick Clone without taking downtime of PROD (i.e. No. BKP COLD).

    Source and target are on different servers, different file structure and the different database name.

    Kindly let me know the detailed procedure?

    Kind regards

    RR


    You can use this simple method that I am.


    Take backup of production with rman:

    {

    overlap archivelog all;

    backup format compressed backupset database tag PROD_FULLBKP ' / u10/PROD1_L0_BKUP_20131125/PROD_DB_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U' filesperset 15;

    SQL 'alter database backup controlfile to trace. "

    SQL 'alter system switch logfile;

    SQL 'alter system switch logfile;

    SQL 'alter system switch logfile;

    overlap archivelog all;

    backup as compressed backupset archivelog all delete input PROD_ARCHBKP format tag ' / u10//PROD1_L0_BKUP_20131125/ARCH_PROD_set%s_piece%p_%T_%U' filesperset 20;

    backup format ' / u10/PROD1_L0_BKUP_20131125/PROD_ctl_%T_%U' current controlfile;

    }


    Move the backup on the test server:

    SCP /ftp

    Modify the pfile to the test server:

    Parameters such as:

    db_name

    control_files

    modify the pfile to match the location of the test server

    Add this parameter

    db_file_name_convert = ' / PROD_datafile_location/datafile ', ' / test_datafile_location / data ', ' / PROD_datafile_location/tempfile ', ' / test_datafile_location / data.

    log_file_name_convert = ' / PROD_redofile_location/ONLINELOG ', ' / test_redofile_location / data ".

    Start the DB:

    Start the db in nomount:

    startup nomount.

    Connecting to rman and start to restore:

    Auxiliary RMAN.

    RMAN > run

    {

    allocate auxiliary channel a1 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channels a2 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channel a3 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channel a4 device type disk;

    data duplicated in the PREPRODUCTION backup location ' / u10/PREPRODUCTION/oraR12/clone_backup/PROD1_L0_BKUP_20131125 ";

    }

    OR

    If you specify time/perform a recovery of time based, like below:

    RMAN > run

    {

    allocate auxiliary channel a1 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channels a2 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channel a3 device type disk;

    allocate auxiliary channel a4 device type disk;

    data duplicated in PREPRODUCTION backup location 'LOCATION_OF_BACKUP', until ' TO_DATE (7 July 2012 09:45 ',' DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') ";

  • Establishment of a physical standby on a server with a different structure

    I'm having some trouble putting in place a database of physical intelligence.

    The main database has a different naming structure the day before and they are on different sites.
    Physical is/var/hpsrp/ctrorp03/oradata/u0x / < DB_NAME > / < DB_UNIQUE_NAME > and Eve is/var/hpsrp/drforp03/oradata/u0x / < DB_NAME > / < DB_UNIQUE_NAME >.

    I put db_file_name_convert '< MAIN path >', '< PATH of EVE >' multiplied by the number of paths in the form of pairs.
    I created an empty database for the day before and after taking a full backup of the primary with the control file and the control file ensures.

    Now, I touched the issues:
    The incarnation of DB numbers are different.
    When I try and do a normal restore for example set dbid, restore controlfile; Mount; It fails as it tries to find files in the primary structure and the structure not to sleep.
    When I try to rename via set newname or auxname it can't find files to restore I guess because of the id of the incarnation
    If I put the id of the incarnation and try to restore backup it fails as an identifier of the incarnation do not match.

    I have tried looking through various forums and documentation, but impossible to find a solution, probably can't see the forest for the trees well because there are so many things.

    Someone there done that type of configuration before and can give me some advice?

    Ok

    What I consider 'sleep data by is an active database with RMAN'

    http://www.Visi.com/~mseberg/standby_creation_from_active_database_using_rman.html

    The thing with your is the location of your LOG files and DATA.

    Where are they now?

    Where they need to be on standby mode?

    Note that this method use a SPFILE so that the settings are made to change the location of the files.

    If you do it right the order is as simple as

    $ORACLE_HOME/bin/rman target=sys/@primary auxiliary=sys/@standby
    
    RMAN>duplicate target database for standby from active database NOFILENAMECHECK;

  • ESX server with 2 different storage array?

    Hello.

    I currently have my ESX servers connected to storage DS4700 and most berries.  Each ESX is double path via a switch which, in turn, allows me to see my DS4700.  My question is, can I i the area my ESX Server so that it can "see" my DS8300 and I would be able to assign LUNS of my ESX servers with no problems?  Both can coexist?  I think I should use for my DS4700 host bus adapters and host bus adapters that are dedicated to my DS8300?  A UNIX point, these 2 storage arrays do not 'communicate' the same way (for example, SDD and RDAC).

    Thank you.

    Steph

    SDD driver is for the multipath. VMware has its own multi-channel driver that is shipped with ESX server, you won't not any 3rd party multipathing software.

    In any case to be abel to see camps Bay you have no need to activate the software multpathing. It is intended only to provide a redundant path to any logical unit number hosted by a single table through several MS SPs/Ports.

    Area just for DS8300 ESX Server and a new analysis should see the new targets and when you present LUNS to your host definetion analyze again another you should see the DS8300 LUN.

    I hope this helps.
