Notice of server upgrade

I hope that someone out there with more knowledge of the inner workings of ESX will have some opinions on this topic.  Currently I have an ESX 3.5 Server (fully patched) which is an IBM eServer x 345.  Here's the specs: Intel Xeon 2 GHz processor w / hyperthreading, 8 GB of RAM, Gigabit NIC, iSCSI storage.  I have the opportunity to upgrade to a white box with (2) AMD 2.6Ghz dual-core Opteron Processor, 12 GB RAM, card Gigabit NETWORK and iSCSI storage.  Right now, I have five guest VM on the ESX host using MS basic Office applications as well as IE on a regular basis and a front end for a database application that can be processor intensive at times.  Given the power of the new box, can someone speculate as to potential performance gain, and if it would be worth the hassle?  Your comments are appreciated.

I have to say yes, in this case.  I have migrated many physical machines, let's say a 2.0 GHz processor to a virtual machine on a 3.0 GHz processor and have seen and have been informed of the apparent improved performance from a user perspective.

  • Hyperic server upgrade...

    I connect today and see that there is a new version... is there a how-to, or something somewhere on how to upgrade the application?

    Thank you

    If I remember (it was a few months), the server "upgrade" path is.
    in general, / home/hyperic. The installation program is the "Server" under that.

    Of course, the "setup.sh" is NEW a new version.

  • Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server upgrade

    Hello

    I searched on the adobe site to check if I can get an upgrade to Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server. I have Indesign CS3 license, but must migrate to Indesign CS5 Server. Does anyone know if it is possible to buy Indesign CS3 to Indesign CS5 server upgrade. Or I have to buy a new license for Indesign CS5 server. Any help on this is appreciated. Thank you.

    This page has an email contact to Adobe, they of course adapt the package to your needs.  And although I don't know for sure I doubt if one individual copy of Indesign CS3 you will give to any upgrade price for CS5 server, given the price would have been started in the region of $20 K...

    WebSocket test

    I use a TI CC3200 to run the Web server code.

    It turns out TI implementation expects to find the upgrade header followed by the key in the query. This is the reason why he was working for the chrome.

    FireFox has the key before the upgrade header. TI code was not the key and just using a string NULL for her. So the answer accept had something to reasonable search, but didn't.

    It would have been nice if firefox didn't would be out something on the data of accept being wrong.

    In any case, TI is aware of the issue.

  • A standard Small Business SERVER 2003 Server upgrade SBS Server 2003 R2 STandard requires the new CLIENT access licenses?

    I got a new server and the server only supports the SBS 2003 R2 and more. I have tried slipstreaming drivers and all that already, without success. I have SBS Server 2003 Standard now with 15 CLIENT access licenses. If I buy a copy of SBS 2003 R2 on ebay to get the installation done, Microsoft requires new or different CLIENT access licenses or licensing of the R2 or 2003 SBS CAL upgrade existing will be sufficient? Any info would be much appreciated!

  • (Redirected) Server upgrade issues

    I need to upgrade my server.

    I've been using a 400SC for about 12 years with Server 2003 and it has served us well.

    I have 8 client machines.

    The server is a domain controller and a file server for 2 programs.

    No mail electronic or other uses.

    I am trying to decide what machine to update and continue as we are for several years.

    I hope I can shoot with Server Essentials of 2012.

    Ideas or recommendations.

  • The Dell R710 server upgrade to R2 2012 Windows

    Question for the forum:

    I have a Dell R710 server.  There a PERC 6 / i RAID card in there.  There are discs 5 x 2 TB on the PERC 6 / I configured in RAID-5 right now with the 6th disc as a 480 GB SSD.   I currently own WINDOWS 2012 R2 installed.   Windows 2012 sees the TB 5 x 2 as a 7.27 TB HDD and the 480 GB SSD as a second hard drive.

    I heard the Windows 2012 R2 storage solution is best.  I want to convert the TB 5 x 2 hard drives just so R2 2012 Windows can control it.  I have the following questions:

    1. What do I have to go in PERC 6 / I controller and remove the RAID 5 and create a virtual disk for each 2 TB as a RAID-0 disk drive so that Windows can see each as separate hard drive?

    2. each of the 2 TB is a SATA II drive.  PERC 6 / I can only support up to 2 TB to 3 Gbps.  What is the best way to do it?  Can I upgrade to SATA III drives or 6 Gbps?  This server which will support at all?  I have

    3. If I install a SATA III controller in the PCIe slot, how can I plug SATA III drives to the card.  All drives are connected to the server to forward now.

    4 If a disk fails, Dell R710 will still flash light orange on the forehead to show what defective hard drives?  People still hot to swap the drive?

    5. Windows 2012 R2 will be able to tell what defective hard drives?  With 5 x 2 to for the storage and 480 GB put in place in the SSD for tiered storage, which is the best way to configure it for performance?  Simple volume or mirror?  How many drives can fail until Windows cannot recover from the failure?

    Please advise on the best way to convert more software raid WINDOWS 2012 R2.  Thanks for the help in advance!

    1. This is the only way to make available to Windows as separate disks, as the PERC 6 does not support the RAID/JBOD.

    2. the PERC 6 supports a maximum drive size of 2 TB. The material is limited to 3 Gbps. You can use 6 GB/s drives, but they will operate as discs 3 Gbps.

    3. you will need to connect a cable from the backplane to the new controller, instead of the 6 PERC. Backplane may not support 6 GB/s speed, if you plug a controller 6Gbps 6Gbps drives and they bind upward to 3 Gbps, that is why.

    4. Yes.

    5. Yes. How can fail depends on how you have set it up and how much data is there.

  • vCenter Server Upgrade version 5.0 to 5.1

    I have 3 vCenter servers (VM) who manage the 3 environments across different sites (Dev/Test/QA, Prod1 and Prod2).

    I intend to first upgrade in Dev/Test/QA environment. My Server, DB & MUV vCenter vCenter server resides on the unique virtual computer.

    1. I need to create separate VMS for vCenter Server Inventory Service & MUV.

    2. in a large environment, I have to separate the Server DB & consolidate all instances here? Best practices please.

    3. create separate SSO VM.

    To do this, how will be my approach? Can I restore my backups of DB and can be used in the new environment?

    Or everything will be totally new configuration?

    It will work. Like other components, you have the choice to use SQL Express or a dedicated DB for the SSO server.

  • The Lion Mountain Lion Server upgrade, then Mountain Lion Server

    Anyone successfully upgraded Lion Mountain Lion Server and then installed OS X Server in addition to this fusion 4.1.3?  I tried a few times (snap God for snapshots) to do over the weekend, but in vain. Mountain Lion seemed to install successfully more Lion Server, but when he tried to restart, restart failed with an error (just a generic error message was posted with no details on what the error was).  I even went so far as to turn off all server services and not allocate resources to Server services before installing Mountainn Lion, but that did not help all.

    I was able to upgrade properly Lion (not the version of the server) to Lion mountain with no problems, however.  Not sure why I can't installed on Server Lion Mountain Lion.

    Thank you.

    Hmmm... You can try to install the ML server first, and then run the migration wizard after it's done.

  • vCenter Server upgrade to version 5.0

    Hello

    I would like to know during the upgrade to vCenter Server 5.0 calls a new license key or he use of the existing version license key.

    I have vCenter Server 4.1 installed so Standard 6 hosts ESXi 4.1 installed with vSphere Enterprise Plus licenses each with 2 CPU. I plan to upgrade my environment of virtualization to vCenter Server 5.0 and vSphere Enterprise Plus 5.0, please someone can me brief on conditions of license - can I use the vCenter 4.1 existing licenses vSphere 4.1 upgrade to version 5.0, so I don't want to buy new licenses.

    Hoping to receive information about my queries.

    Kind regards

    Nikhil

    No, not if you have a valid support and subscription.

    You must visit the portal of licenses to upgrade the license (I think).

    I myself did last week and I'm sure that even if I already had a job entirely vCenter 4.1, I was required to enter the new license v5.0 file.

  • Problems of Flash player v11 on Windows 2003 Terminal Server upgrade

    Hello

    I am trying to upgrade of several Server Terminal Server to Windows 2003 32-bit, v5.2 IE Flash plugin version 11.1.102.63.  It did not work on the first two servers I tried, and later I concentrated my tests on one of them.  The version on the server before the upgrade attempt has been 10.3.181.14.

    Whenever I try the upgrade, the executable initially runs, but then does nothing.  The running process is visible in the Task Manager, with no resources of treatment and about 18 MB of memory.  Unless I kill the process manually, it will sit like that indefinitely.  If I try the installation again, I get a message advising me that a single instance of the process can run.

    I tried to reboot the server, I tried to install terminal server mode server running the installation, I tried to uninstall the previous version, I tried to reinstall the previous version (which works fine).  For some reason, this version will not work.

    Any suggestions as to the next step would be very welcome.

    Thanks in advance.

  • CF Apps 'broken' after the server upgrade.

    My office has a configuration where we have a server and a live server development.  Everything gets coded and tested on the development server before be copied in the direct.

    Last week, the server was replaced by a new machine.  After the upgrade, we get errors on several pages of CF.  The errors are as follows:

    Could not find the ColdFusion Component or
    Interface 

    It's the component is there, and the app works fine on the development server.

    I tried to juggle the path within the tag, cfinvoke, with limited success.  If all the files are in a directory, removing the path seems totally to fix.  But if the application.cfm is in /directory the cfc is in/directory/components, then juggle the path is not helped at all.

    I think it is maybe a CF Administrator thing, where some mappings on the old server were not duplicated on the new.

    It is very difficult to solve because it works very well in my development environment.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I think you're probably right.

    There was probably a mapping defined in the Aministrator CF under "Mappings" to find out where the live components.
