Prepare for additional server and CVS

We have 4 running 5.5u3 esxi hosts connected to a shared Storage area network and a device vm vcenter. All hosts are Dell R710 servers with processors E5620 (Westmere generation). We take the plunge and add a server R730 with an E5-2660v3 (Haswell) and hoping to avoid having to take guests to activate CVS. What I've read, it seems that I could activate our current with the baseline Westmere cluster when I'm ready, and then add the new server in this cluster. No downtime, no muss, no fuss. Is this correct?

I realize that limits us to the older processor features, so we will not be able to take advantage of the features of Haswell, but we are more interested in continuity at this time. In the summer, we will be able to add more R730s, date in which I move all the VMS off guests and raise the level of reference VCA to Haswell.

Please, someone let me know if this plan seems correct, or if I get in the grass to chat too.

Thank you.

Hello

Since all hosts in the cluster are currently running Westmere, you can go ahead and activated VCA with Westmere baseline on the fly.

And since a new host Haswell (no virtual machine on it, yet!) is being added to the cluster of this already EVC enabled, there should be no problem. You can go ahead and add the host Haswell on the fly.

Only if you have virtual machines running on hosts Haswell, then you are obliged to switch off the virtual machines on the hosts haswell.

From now on, no downtime. Turn on Westmere > add new host Haswell > good to go!

  • laboratory test for 2008 Server and clients

    I'm new to vmware and I hope to have a preview on if or how I can create a mini enviornment for testing 2008 Server and clients.

    (Study for MCITP)

    I am running:

    Windows 7 Professional 64 using vm worksation 7.1.3

    Intel Core2 Extreme 6850 @3.7 GHz

    8 GB RAM

    RAID 0 SSD

    Guest operating system located on 2 drives internal seagate 7200 RPM

    Linksys wrt300n router

    I already did a team and installed (1) Server 2008R2, (1) WinxpSP3, Ent of Win7 (1), Clone of Ent Win 7 (1)

    I would like to install 3 server roles, AD, DNS and DHCP for beginners.

    I am considering establishing a separate virtual lan for systems work in that I can do my tests.

    Providing a static IP address for the server and using dhcp by server for customers of victory.

    I also want to create another team, so I can do some tests with SBS 2011 so without interfering with the first team and or my home network

    Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    I thought that someone has already done and was hoping a ' oh yes, that's what you do, it's easy "answer...

    Yes I could do that and these questions have already been answered ad nauseam, but I'll tell you why I do not give indications of the steps step-by-step when I see things like "(Education pour MCITP)" and it's because if you can't figure it out on your own, you are not qualified to be a professional anything whatsoever in my book! "   Now please don't take that as harsh as it may seem I have really don't mean that highly however the point I'm trying to do is, especially when it is currently professionally, with labour or professional certifications, I certainly don't expect any who all know on a given topic a, but what I expect is a part to be able to find the answers that are already out there When it is not the very first person to come across a given number.

    I gave the server a static ip address, I booked on the router and used in bridge for the adapter. AD and DNS has worked well, but the dhcp service has failed. It seemed at odds with the dhcp router.

    Of course, it will conflict with router DHCP Server of the local physical network when you use bridged on a virtual machine running a DHCP server, it is basic networking question.

    Is there a way to do a virtual router? I want the team to be separate and not have the ability to 'see' my dhcp router, or any other PC.

    But I need to pull the static information and dns somehow.

    It's there, reading the chapters 14 and 15 are along with networks in general orders and there are several diagrams in these two chapters which, in my opinion, help to give you the answers to these questions.

    There are several ways to reach your goal and I know for a fact that he has already covered by these forums and other places on the Internet it seems ridiculous to repeat it once again here and beside that you really learn if responses are just handed to you vs student, research, practice, etc..

  • Set up the RSA only for security server and not internally?

    Greetings,

    In the view Configuration > servers > Edit View connection servers > authentication, you can enable the RSA. However, I would like to use RSA for people who connect through the Security Server and not those who log internally.

    Does this mean that my only option is to add another view connection server and point the Security Server on this connection to the server on which I have activate the RSA?

    If so is not necessarily a problem, but it would mean, I have 3 servers of connection and server 1 safety for an environment of view rather small.

    Ideally, I was balancing these aswell which would mean 4 servers connection and 2 security servers. It is perhaps a little exaggerated, heh.

    Anyone know of an alternative solution?

    Thanks in advance!

    The way you describe it is the way to do it. The Security server is always associated with a connection to the server, so no way around it.

  • Planning for SQL server and Oracle db

    Hi friends

    We intend to improve our environment Hyperion of 9.3.3 to 11.1.2.2. and we will go from SQL server as our RDBMS Oracle.

    If we change DBMS, do we have to rebuild the total application or is there an easy way to migrate from sql server to Oracle

    Please suggest

    Thank you

    Upgrade the application to 11.1.2.2 while remaining on the SQL Server, then use LCM to export the application, remove the application, update the data source to point to Oracle, use LCM to import.

  • Books for 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144

    Hi all

    I intend to study for certification "Oracle PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate. I was intending to prepare for 1Z0 - 047 and 1Z0-144, as both of these reviews are validated based on Oracle Database 11 g.

    I was wondering if one of the guys here can help me with the couple of questions I have.

    1. that we recommend among the two exams below?

    1Z0-047 (Oracle database SQL Expert)
    or
    1Z0-051 (Oracle Database 11g: SQL Fundamentals I)

    2. what books should I refer to 1Z0-047 and 1Z0-144? I read a lot of threads on this topic. But, I haven't found a good answer yet, that's why I'm writing this question again.

    For 1Z0-047, I've seen people recommend the following:
    OCA Oracle database SQL Expert corrected: exam 1Z0-047 (Osborne Oracle Press series) by Steve O'Hearn
    OCA Oracle Database 11g SQL Fundamentals I corrected: exam 1Z0-051 (Osborne ORACLE press series) by John Watson and Danielle Ramklass

    1Z0-144 for, I've seen people recommend the following:
    Oracle PL/SQL programming: Versions of covers by Oracle Database 11 g Release 2 (Animal Guide) with Steven Feuerstein, Bill Pribyl
    OCP developer PL/SQL program units corrected by Steve O'Hearn


    I ask you guys to help me because I don't have an idea on these books. It would be really great if someone who has passed the examinations or read these books shed some light on these.

    Thanks in advance.

    I expect the review Expert SQL to be stronger, more need SQL knowledge, but if it was my choice, I seek the Oracle Press book you mentioned everything first and go to the Expert SQL exam. The nice thing about that is that you get the cert SQL Expert on this one review.

    Preparation for the next review would be more difficult, because there is no easy choice for a book. Feuerstein's book is good to have, but is big enough and not particularly focused on the content of any review. I called when he was studying in the review of PL/SQL, 1z0-146, but only that I found the relevant content to the object that Oracle posted about it. I also used the PL/SQL book you mentioned by Steve O'Hearn (I could borrow through interlibrary loan), which has also been helpful, but the same idea applies, that is, you might find some useful stuff in here...

    The best thing to do in such cases is to use the object posted by Oracle for the review and go to the Oracle documentation. Really, you find that it is better than the springs for a book that is perhaps not so relevant in such cases.

  • Additional licenses purchased in 2004, but they are not loaded on the server, and they can't find the hard copy of the licenses to load them in.

    Asked me to take over the COMPUTER Department of a small Christian school. They are running SBS 2003. They bought licences for additional client access in 2004, but they are not loaded to the server and they can't find the hard copy of the licenses to load them in. Also, they purhcased of XP Pro and Office 2003 licenses (I have the disks and keys to install but do not know how many licenses they own) and they are not either of the paper copy of these licenses. Is there a way to contact Microsoft to get the licenses? Any help would be appreciated.

    original title: recover lost Volume Licensing

    I just figured this out...

    I called the 1-866-230-0560 Option 3 Volume licenses and talked to someone who searched under the name of the school in order to locate licenses. It is even searched under our zip code and found other licenses that have been purchased by the school where the dealer abbreviated the name of the school.

    I hope that this is useful information to others in the same situation.

  • Bytes of TCP IP and subset of bytes for the connection of server and clients

    Hello

    I have a problem on the server and the client connection using the TCP/IP protocol. In the client, I have 41 cases, 1 case of timeout, others are for the case of button when they are pressed and then the LED on the server will be to market and if a click again the led will be off. But when I reached cases 10, 11, 12 up to the 41 (key case), that the LED lights if you click only once, but when he double clicked then the light does not turn off. So, how you solve the problem? Is this subset or bytes to read because the first subset is 1 case but no 10 to 41 will not work, but I change the subset in 2 then the case works for don't light the LED, but it do not work to turn the LED off.

    I also download the vi in this for reference.

    the user name for the client is the user and the password is pass.
