Migrate to the new data center

Hi all

I want to migrate to a display of a new data center environment in a different physical location.

I like to keep the original ip addresses and FQDNs.

Is it best practice for this type of migration methods?

I have two drivers, composer, brokers security server, 160 related clones with persistent records.

We do not have a connection in fiber between the sites, so cannot perform a rebalancing.

There will be a cut-over on the last weekend.

Concerning

John

You can use something like veeam vSphere replication to copy virtual machines to the other site and then just turn the 'old' off the coast and the new ones on. Your biggest problem will be changing hosts. Only other option might be to physically move the old hardware to the new site. Persistent drives will be a pain. I would like to have more useful for you answers.

  • Migration Oracle RAC to the new data center

    Hi all

    We are 'legacy' Oracle 11 G RAC cluster from another company and I am looking for a way to migrate with the minimum of downtime. Our team has no CARS, nor database administrator Oracle also experience.

    We intend to test the migration by cloning the environment a few weeks before and just see if everything is OK.

    Question is, what is the best way to migrate this RAC cluster and it's data to a new data center? Reinstallation of the operating system (Linux) and recreate the RAC cluster are not an option I want to examine.

    For example, in the land of SQL Server, we can use sending newspapers or replication to keep a copy of the database in the new data center as close as possible direct database (data-wise). Date of commissioning, we stop the direct instance, run last restore log or something else, then set up the databases on the new data center.

    Thanks in advance.

    Data Guard. It is the name of "log shipping" feature Oracle. It's probably closer to always on SQL Server availability groups, except that the Oracle database is a large group.

    I speak not Active Data Guard which is an extra cost that gives options on top of Data Guard.

  • Moving cluster in the new data center in virtual Center.

    Hi all

    I want to store my virtual Center layout. To do this, I want to move an existing cluster that exists on another physical site in a newly created in the virtual data center. When I try to move the existing cluster object, I get an error saying "the operation is not supported on the object.

    This does mean that I have to create a cluster and move the hosts one at a time, or is there a way to move the real cluster?

    Thanks in advance.

    You have to re-create the cluster indeed. Logout of the host, and then add the host to the new cluster.

  • Migrate to the new server vCenter hw

    I make plans to migrate all my my old hardware of server vCenter ESX hosts to a new (and much faster). Both vCenter servers are version 4. To delete a my old vCenter ESX host, I need to put it in maintenance mode. Maintenance mode means turn it off or by moving my VMs to other hosts.

    Is there a way to move my ESX hosts to the new server vCenter without voltage VM?

    Hi bjornl,

    If you need to keep the virtual machines running on the host computers, while removing a cluster host, data center or same vCenter, and then select the option 'Disconnect' first. The host shows as grayed out and disconnected. Once in this state you can 'remove' the host of your first vCenter.

    Create your new data center and then "Add host" Cluster in the new. Everything will be powered on your virtual machines.

    The only issues I've had with this is if the original or the new cluster using vMotion improve compatibility (EVC). This aspect must correspond to both ends. Once you do this, it works fine.

    Hope this helps,

    Dan

  • How can I find out who created a new data center or virtual?

    Is there a specific log file?  I'm trying to find out who created a new data center and some VM.

    The events are not stored in a file, but are stored in the database of vCenter in the VPX_EVENT table. The creation of a data center is a vim.event.DatacenterCreatedEvent in the EVENT_TYPE column. The user who has created are in the USERNAME column. The name of the data center is in the DATACENTER_NAME column. Time of creation is in the CREATE_TIME column.

    I tried to create and delete a data center and after removing it, I could always find events in the database.

  • Copy of VM to the new data store

    I need to copy an existing virtual machine to one datatstore to the other, initially, I thought that I would be able to register to the VM, clone the virtual machine and then unregister the virtual machine.

    Unfortunately the VM I will be copying is the virtual Center VM and therefore this action must be carried out while it is connected to a host and cloning is a feature of VC.

    Is the best method to use the New-TkeDatastoreDirectory and TkeDatastoreFile-copy to copy these through to the new data store?  I think I read earlier that it does not work or is very slow for large VMDK files?

    Thank you

  • Moving Cluster to new data center and move ASM Lun

    Hello

    My question is for an upcoming project. We want to grow our three existing node on our other data Center cluster. Servers will be moved and would re - ip, but Oracle, CRS and ASM houses remain intact.

    We have our ASM on EMC Clariion disks. The idea is to use EMC Replication Manager to replicate the LUNS on EMC Clarion in the other data center and to present them to the cluster.

    My question is if it looks like a valid plan, or I think to simplistic?

    Will keep it even replicated LUN the ASM disk identity and data in order to be recognized and available in start?

    In addition, in order to minimize downtime, we want to move a single node of the cluster first, then others do appear later.

    Thanks for your opinions.

    Hello

    To replicate ASMDISK success, all databases in the Diskgroup must be down or in backup mode.
    Replication starts with the online database (IE database in backup mode hot) needs attention, because all data/redo/controlfile files will be copied in use (i.e. corrupt), be necessary will perform database recovery.

    I think that you already have this doc, but I write anyway.

    The plan seems good.

  • How to migrate Office persistent link clones of workstations for the new data store

    Hello. We have clones of persistent link to view running in the environment from our view. We need to migrate these desktops to new storage. Rebalancing is out as this will include a refresh operation - destroy anything and everything installed in c:\ of the user. Is there a method to migrate Desktop clone link persistent to a new data store, while keeping the office in the same exact state (i.e. c:\ is not updated).

    Thank you

    Never say impossible. I came across the solution when I read the article by Duncan Epping:

    http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/03/15/Dr-of-view-persistent-linked-clone-desktops/

    I have that for my situation. Basically, replicate data from view in the new storage warehouses. Set up data warehouses replicated without re-signing with the cluster of ESXi. Turn the power off and unsubscribe the vCenter view workstations. Save the workstations from the data store replicated/mounted to vCenter and power over desktop computers.

    VCenter, nothing dramatic has happened if she sees just as vm being unregistered and re-recorded activity from the same exact data store (the same UUID). View Admin is happy because he sees just the events as desktop computers that have been turned off and then subsequently in reverse. Nothing has changed regarding the database to view ADAM, we still use the same data warehouses.

    I have already tested before for a scenario of View DR, and he succeeded. Between remembering who and Duncan's article helped me to adapt the same process for this. Nothing is impossible

  • NFS share for one (1) added when adding to a new host in the existing data center

    I'm sure it's a simple answer, but I've been beating my head on the wall, trying to find a solution. The scenario is as follows:

    1 Vcenter has several hosts in different groups. All built at the same time with a NFS share that is shared among all.

    2. I add a new host to the data center (I tried independently and also added to a cluster as well).

    3. the new host sees its local disk as a data store, as expected, but I have to add the shared NFS datastore.

    4. at the level of the host, I go to configuration-storage-add storage and the NFS share.

    It shows and normal with NFS (1) as the name. I can't rename it as it says THAT NFS already exist. I understand that there are in the vcenter DB, but how to add this new host or host an existing environment and maintain the name of the NFS share? vCenter 5.5, 5.5 esxi

  • Installation of VirtualCenter migration with the new database

    I have an existing installation of Virtual Center and sql server that was installed by an employee of the past. The installation needs cleaning and migration.

    So I decided to prepare a new physical server to host a new installation of VirtualCenter and another SQL Server. I installed VirtualCenter, and the database was created. But now I'm starting to think that she can't be as easy as adding ESX hosts to the installartion of Vcenter new/database and update the IP of the server for the hearbeat.

    So I have a few questions:

    (1) if I disconnect the old installation of VirtualCenter and ESX hosts, add them to the new facility, my storage adapters will remain intact?

    (2) I'll currupt one of my virtual machines on ESX host?

    If I can lose data, I'll obviously have to migrate the existing database, rather than nine.

    You can unplug and remove the hosts of their current instance of vCenter and then add the host in the new.  Don't hurt your VM.  You do not also lose connection also well to the storage fabric.

    Just keep in mind that moving to a new instance of vCenter will lose you all the performance and historical data as well as any rules DRS/HA, pools of resources, permissions, roles, etc.
