P2V microsoft cluster (file) with shared PV220s (SCSi) storage

Hi guys

I'm quite new in the VMWARE world. So please forgive my ignorance. If it's my third message in the last 2 days.

Scenario: basically, we have a MS cluster running on two windows (our file server) server that is attached to the DELL PV220s matrix raid (scsi) with 11 drive running raid 5 config... Now it of almost complete @ 1 TB and also will be out of warranty soon.

We want to virtualize these two servers (essentially the cluster), and then move all the data to the DELL EQUAlLOgic SAN we have on our site as well.

Now, I've read that MS Clusters are supported in Update1 of VMware 3.5.

So, how is it less setting this up. What I've read so this option seems like the next three - provide details of them my knowledge in VMware/SAN is very limited at present, but in the hope of picking up very soon.

1 P2V cluster as it is

2 break the cluster, then P2v each.

3. create a new node 3 in VMware. (how we should go on the PV220s San data movement) - we should create a new volume-LUN of the SAN?

I read that the signatures of discs cause problems etc..

Please discuss your experiences and your thoughts on P2V ING a MS cluster.

I'll be very be very thankful to you guys if you can answer because it will speed up our project.

Rucky

Hello

Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system.

Read http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vi3_35/esx_3/vi3_35_25_u1_mscs.pdf very very carefully before you P2V a cluster, there are things you need to do to create the virtual hardware correctly. If it were me, I would not use P2V but fresh start installs correctly configured virtual hardware.

  • No Microsoft or file with the Agency in support of the request

    Just to lose a document not saved in Microsoft Word after an accident - documents previously only saved have been recovered.

  • Break a Microsoft cluster and attends independent P2V in a VMware environment

    I searched and searched for the best possible, answering this question and can not find specific answers!

    I have a file server Windows Server 2003 in a 2 node cluster (active/passive) with resources on a San, and what I want to do is:

    1 remove the cluster and have all the resources on a single machine.

    2. rename the machine with the resources on the virtual server name (cluster name)

    3 do a P2V to the file server in my cluster vmware environment

    I have no problem with the steps 2 and 3, but remove the cluster and will strictly autonomous is my Goliath. What I have read, I need to move all resources to one node, then stop the cluster service on the other node, then delete the node. From there I don't know what to do. Help, please! I want to achieve in the coming weeks.

    Check this Microsoft kb article.

    Another option could be to create a new file server in a virtual machine and then attach the storage where the actions as a RDM.

    Options are always good.

    Good luck!

  • Is set in cluster mode for a PV220s "sharing"?

    Hey all,.

    For some time I have approached anything with the PV220s (only because its been itself features news!) but is considering a change in the current configuration.

    Currently, table is linked to a single PERC controller and lapping joined bus mode using all the discs 14. I think to do sets up another server connected to the second EMM and share the whole.

    This will happen because I do come aboard another server on the current workload and you need to move the databases.

    I have the following questions: -.

    1. If I understand correctly, a disk will be lost. This can then be configured as a hot spare or physically disconnected?
    2. This configuration is as simple as turning off the power, press the switch cluster mode and reboot all servers?
    3. It would be preferable to use instead the split bus?
    4. Choice of the mode of bus on the fly would cause data loss?

    As I said, its been a while that I have drawn on the PV since its been working fine. Maybe I shouldn't touch something which did not gave no problem, but I could do with the help of better space between the 2 servers.

    See you soon,.

  • 'My Documents' filled with thousands of Microsoft system files

    Hello
    I'm working on Dell Inspiron 537 s wife, Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit.
    His "My Documents" folder has 3 115 points. I appears that about 80% to 90% of the articles are tagged as Microsoft System files [MS cache, subprogrammes MSSE, etc etc.] Seems to go on 'miles' and the search for one his real documents is almost impossible. This OS has been installed since about 1 to 1 1/2 years trouble free. This problem is fairly new [last 2-3 months or more]. Is there a place to easily move these where they should be?

    Don't know if this is related but to 'disk cleanup', the choice of "system memory dump files" is no longer with the rest.
    Also, I remember several months changing his backup size allowed 'system restore' setting to 5%. It has been too big; 15-20% or more. That's all I can give you for now. Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thank you very much
    Mike

    Thought I would better say what it was.  Somehow, the "My Documents" folder got out of its default setting. Just a matter of opening the 'My Documents' folder, right click on 'my documents' in the left pane, click on properties, click on restore default and 3015 these 3115 files get right back where they should be.

    Thank you

  • Cluster SOA with BigIP as HTTPFrontEnd - deployed WSDL and XSD composite files are not accessible

    Hello

    In our SOA environment, we have an architecture like that.

    We have a Cluster with two nodes of SOA. Each node is to have an OHS. There's a BIGIP which is the HTTP of SOA Cluster interface.

    BIG IP load balancing and HTTP Port 80 and HTTPS 443 port.

    All access to BIGIP is over HTTPS. With HTTP, we are not able to access the artifacts.

    Here, we are faced with a problem.

    All WSDL, XSD, deployed on the server files have as - ends http://bigiphost:80 / soainfra / .....

    These end points are not accessible, and we have to manually convert URLS to https://bigiphost:443 / soainfra / ... for testing.

    Main question is coming when we're trying to raise our composites to RJO. Because the WSDL and XSD files is seen port http endpoints and they are not accessible from the harvester tool. Where a failure.

    Can you please how do ensure that all composite end point and endpoint WSDL are generated as Https://bigiphost:443 instead of HTTP Port.

    I tried two options

    (a) setting serverURL to https://bigiphost:443

    This option modifies all the endpoints and the localities of XSD in a wsdl to the https address document. but it does not composite point endpoint and endpoint WSDL. They are still Http. so not accessible through harvester or browser.

    (b) setting HttpsServerURL to https://bigiphost:443

    It makes a difference.

    Please suggest how can I convert a composite and endpoint WSDL (protocol header) end point to https://bigipport:443 instead of http:bigipport:80

    Thank you

    Jessyca

    Finally got the fix.

    Changed the HTTPServerURL property in the EM Console > SOA-INFRA > SOA Administration > common properties > more advanced properties

    Https://bigipport:443the value HTTPServerURL.

    This helped and all the endpoints and composite WSDL endpoints have been generated with https://bigipport:443 instead of http.

    So overall, I used two properties.

    (a) a HTTPServerURL - change the endpoint WSDL and the composite end.

    (b) ServerURL - change endpoints in the wsdl file with the value set in the present.

    Thank you

  • Another problem with a Microsoft Docx. file

    I have a sandisk cruzer, which contains the installation of adobe CS5.5 Master Suite and a docx. [word document] file with the corresponding product code. A few days ago, the program has been deleted from my computer. I was able to copy the configuration of my USB on my computer with no problems. For some reason, I can't copy the docx. file. It loads as if it was copy it, but it found no visible copy. I also tried for the devil of it to remove the file again, it will act as deleting the file is started & completed, but the file is still there. This may be the cause? And, is there a program that can help?

    Hi Kristie,

    It sounds like possibly the file on your SanDisk may have a problem.  Take a look at the article below on the topic of recovering your data:

  • Using the odd drive with shared storage

    We have deployed a 15-node cluster with shared storage.  When we issue a df - h, we see the root filesystem and / mnt mounted file systems.

    We also see the file of each of the other systems the datanodes on the local storage of the each other.  For example...

    / mnt/SCSI-123abc is mounted on the server server01

    / mnt/SCSI-456def is mounted on server02

    Under/mnt on the server server01, we also see/mnt/scsi-456def under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

    Under/mnt on server02, we also see/mnt/scsi-123abc under the root file system, not mounted as its own file system.

    Is this a problem of storage configuration, or is this something that the BDE has decided when it deployed?

    Thank you

    Steve

    BTW, you can add your script hack or the scripts that I have provided in the /opt/serengeti/sbin/format-disk.py file in the node template, and then after that the empty cluster is created, the mount point/mnt/bigdata1... are there the/mnt/bigdataN.
