• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
  Build a step by step mapping all changes and good luck.

• 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.

• How to move from DRS host back to default data center?

  Hello

  I tried to move a host in DRS default Datacenter by drag-and - drop, but the bar held on 2% of the day after...

  Thank you!

  You must isolate the virtual machines on the host before moving. I think that the 2% is due to vmotion on all virtual machines or stop the virtual machine.

  Another way would be to disconnect the host then delete and then re add back. but that means that all VM will appear in another data center. not advisable.

• How to move VMS to new storage AND new hosts

  Hello

  I'm having a hard time find, how can I move all the VMS NFS storage to a new storage iscsi (SAN HP). We are also the introduction of new material for guests, so throughout that this is an entirely new environment of vCenter (also from vSphere 4.1 to 5.5). My first thought was to attach new storage to the old hosts. Then do a migration of storage, one for a while (off voltage machines), remove the virtual machine from the old vCenter and then add them to the new environment of vCenter. But we have exhausted all NICs on the hosts of old, so I can't join the new storage, and I can't share a vmkernel for iscsi and nfs port.

  You have any suggestions how I can address the issue?

  It would work if you are very good to have downtime to your virtual machine.

  If you incur no downtime, you can try to install the same set of ESX (i) version on a few new series of servers (for example 10 points on 50 new servers) and add them to the old CR and proceed step by step below

  -Configure the old NFS storage on new set of servers

  -Migrate (vMotion) all VMS on old NFS to the new set of servers

  -Remove all the new set of VC servers

  -Add the same set of servers (that have been migrated from VM) to new VC

  -Migrate all virtual machines to the new storage and then upgrade your new set of servers

  In my view, this way you can avoid having a downtime for your virtual machine.

• Move a vmdk file finely put in service a new data store - now it's thick?

  Hi all

  To elaborate a little bit on the title, I installed a second hard drive in my ESXi 4 server.  All my VMs use discs finely put into service, however, after that I moved the files of the virtual machine to the new data store (using mv) and readded the virtual machine to inventory, the disks are provided are thinner but are thick.  This behavior is expected?

  This is behavior expected - don't use mv to VMDK!

  Use rather
  vmkfstools-i thin d

• ESX 3.5 move VM OS to a new data store

  Update of ESX 3.5.0 Build 4 153875

  I have a front-end server, Exchange 2007 (2008 x 64 OS), which has only a single drive (OS) configured on a data store presented by Clarion AX4.5 SAN. I wanted to move this disk in another data store that has more free space and the highest performance, but I'm not sure of the exact procedure.

  1 so I wanted instead of the disc on the data store runnign run it on the data store 2.

  Can I clone it to the same ESX host and simply select the new data store? Or would it be preferable to P2V to the new data store. This seems like it should be simple, but I'm stuck on what is recommended for this. Of course, since it is the front-end exchange I want nothing to screw.

  Thank you in advance for your help!

  If you have virtual center the easiest might be to cold migrate stop the virtual machine and migrates - you can leave it on the same ESX host, but will give you the ability to move the virtual disk.

• Impossible to move VMs in a new TIME

  I'm fiddling with vApps and created a.  Okay, no problem, I create an and according to the resources that I read--I should be able to drag and drop virtual machines under the vApp.  No go. Nothing happens, I CLICK LEFT of the virtual machine and try to drag to the vApp, no ghostly outline or smear to tell me that I'm moving no matter what, nothing happens. No task doesn't pop up on the list of recent tasks either. No failure or error warning is displayed. No alarm.

  I try this mode HOSTS AND CLUSTERS or computers view virtual AND MODELS, same result, nothing moves.  I can create a new virtual machine in the VAPP or deploy a VM from a model - simply not move any VM (running or not).

  What I am doing wrong? According to what I read, I should be able to drag and drop virtual machines in this object of vApp.

  (2) VMWare ESX 4.0 servers in evaluation mode connected to a San, cluster HA and DRS has activated, vMotion works. SvMotion works, works of DRS.  Only 4 just Windows 2003 VMs running at idle (it is a test system)...  VC is on a separate machine and not a VM.

  It should work.  I just created a paralytic to test with the default values to the title of my group and I can drag and drop without problem.  Have you tried restarting your vCenter Server Service?

• How can I move my operating system to a new disk?

  Can you tell me how I can move my operating system and all the data to my new 1 TB of my little, 160 gig SATA drive SATA drive.  Is it a question of copy / paste?  I am running XP.

  I know that I can do the clean install and change the boot etc drive, but this means that I have to reinstall all my drivers, network and all that jaz.

  Just reading.  Is there a XP system image backup center?

  The new hard drive manufacturer normally provides software to do what you want to do cloning.

  Ask them about it.

• Move a domain controller to to new location, different host

  Hello

  Just curious if anyone has any experience of problems ranging from a windows 2003 R2 sp2 domain controller from one place to another.

  Windows 2003 R2 sp2 on a Vsphere ESX 4.0 in Data center A.

  I intend to move the VM Datacenter B running on ESX 4.1 and give the new IP address, mask and DNS servers.

  I'll just turn off the virtual machine, copy the whole directory to an external to copy to the new ESX host device

  Thank you!

  JOe

  Like Chris says these things could be the site of the affected domain controller to, or it could be a replication of some kind partner.   I mean, really, just everything about AD that would have to be modified due to the change in the IP/location.

• Comment fails to power after moving to a new data store.

  I had this problem a lot where migrate machines. I navigate to the data store appropriate and right click on the folder of the guest, and I select "move". I choose the new data store and sit back and watch the progress bar. Once its migration adds the guest to the inventory and try to power on. Sometimes it works, sometimes I have to repeat the steps above twice. Why missing files when trying to turn on when I move the files this way?

  Right-click on the virtual machine, click on migrate.  Follow the prompts for destination until you reach the Select data store.  Click the radio button "Move virtual machine and virtual disks configuration files" and select the new data store.
