problem of cluster-in-a-box

a test, I'm trying to create a cluster of 2 vm that runs

ENT Ent/W2k8 SQL

on ESX 4 build 208167.

the shared disks are hard files stored on local VMFS on ESX host voluome.

I followed the procedure of "cluster in a box":

1 created a new virtual machine, as if it were a stand-alone server.

2 - Adding a drive on the 1:0 SCSI bus (original disk was on 0:0).

VMDK daughter is 'vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk '.

3. it automatically added a second SCSI controller on the virtual machine

4 - Set the virtual shared SCSI bus

5 created a second vm, even as the first

6 - adding a drive on the bus 1:0.

same VMDK file is identical to step 2, "vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk".

7 - Place the new virtual controller so

8 - I began the first Vm and... Crash with the following message:

VMware ESX Server cannot open the virtual drive, ' / vmfs/volumes/.../ClusterNode1/ClusterNode1_1.vmdk ' for clustering. Verify that the virtual disk was created using the "thick".

Cannot open disk ' / vmfs/volumes/.../...vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Reason: thin/TBZ disks cannot be opened in multiwriter mode...

what I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

  • Problem VMDK file large cluster in a box

    So I've been running a flavor of vmware server 2.x since its release with little or no problems. Not that it matters but my host server is a Dell Poweredge 1900 with 32 GB of RAM, running windows server 2003 x 64.  I have also 2 Windows VM that I run as a cluster in a box, and they worked very well in this way for more than 3-4 years at the time of vmware 1.x. Both virtual machines have been set up exactly as such:

    SCSI 0:0 16GB & lt; - c drive

    1:0 500 MB & lt; - quorum SCSI cluster

    SCSI 1:1 12GB & lt; - the app cluster disk

    1:2 950 GB SCSI & lt; - storage of cluster disk

    SCSI 1:3) 12 GB & lt;-the sql cluster disk

    1:4 250 GB & lt; - disk SCSI storage of additional cluster

    What I did recently to set up a new file 2 TB since vmware server 2.x vmdk will now allow you to make files vmdk bigger than the old limit of 950 GB. This new 2 TB file was supposed to replace my 2 readers of old SCSI 1:2 and 1:4 SCSI cluster storage. After making the swap and copy all data to a vmdk file again, I noticed a problem at any moment I'm going to and move the resource cluster VMDK new 2 TB to the other server. Basically the two servers stop responding and it seems that vmware server choke on the 2 TB for some reason vmdk file any. Here's what I see in my logs any time that this happens.

    Has anyone ever ran across this or has anyone ever used a file vmdk of this size as a cluster resource? As I said before that I had 0 problems with my cluster before I added this new 2 TB vmdk file...

    I'm not at all surprised that you get this problems.

    You use monolithicSparse vmdk type!

    For cluster in a box, I highly recommend flat VMDK.

    I wonder that it worked for you all with the drive more sharing

  • small problem with the printer dialog box

    I recently added a Brother printer to my IMac and ran into a minor problem.  When I put in place using my WiFi and AirPrint, the dialog box has a convenient box for the black and white that I was able to check in one easy-to-replace step and just print in color.  However, the alarm time and the answer is a bit slow.  So, I then plugged a cable and add this version of the printer.  Now the box is missing and nothing I've been able to do, to delete and add new printer allowed me to bring that?  Any ideas on how I can get this feature practice appears in the dialog box with the printer connected to the cable?  Thank you.

    If I understand correctly, you have now two entries separated for this printer to Print & Scan? It's OK, although AirPrint is better for various reasons.

    I understand the printer takes an unacceptable amount of time to wake up to when choosing the AirPrint printer, and you want to avoid this.

    If you have added a separate entrance - one for the USB printer connected - how who you? Did you leave the print & Scan install this printer automatically on its own, or did you download and install a driver of brother separately?

    Hmm... What's not here? When the file in the dialog selected with double-click, and then disappeared with the mouse down, so dialogue, your dialogue control receives the mouse upward:

    Double click: mouse-> mouse-> mouse downwards upwards downwards (here missing dialogue)-> the mouse upwards (you got it). Nothing wrong. Can be inconvenient in some cases.

  • Problem with FAX Setup dialog box

    When I start, a box dialog indicates that WIndows is trying to install a fax MACHINE and I have to go to the Manager end tasks now.  I don't want that, I didn't ask for it, I don't have the disc for it.  How can I get rid of him.  Microsoft doesn't make it easy to communicate with them.

    Hi Babs336,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. Have you recently tried to install the Fax on the computer?
    3. When was the last time it was working fine?

    Method 1

    If you want to remove the computer's fax services, then try the steps mentioned.

    (a) click Startand then click run.

    (b) copy and paste or type the following command in the Open box, and then click OK:

    appwiz.cpl

    (c) it may take several seconds for your computer to compile a list of programs. The dialog box Add / Remove Programs opens.

    (d) click on Add/Remove Windows components on the left of the list of programs to start the Windows Components Wizard. This only lasts several seconds.

    (e) in the components list, clear the Fax Services check box, and then click Next. The installation program uninstalls the computer's fax services.

    How to enable and configure the fax service in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306550

     

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Problem with dismissing the dialog box

    Hello world

    This is my first post here. Sorry if the question is very simple...

    I need to download an image on server. I display a dialog box to confirm if the file should be downloaded.

    Everything works well except that the dialog box is dismissed after that the whole process is over. I know I'm missing something-related threads. pls help me to understand.

    My problem is that the I selected YES the dialog box only after the call to webservice licensees are completed and the image is published on the server and the screen is refreshed with the new image.

    Let me know what I'm missing.

    Welcome to the forum!

    Correctly, you start the process of network on a separate Thread.  Then you attach the wire event for this Thread by using the following instructions:

    t.Start ();
    t.Join ();

    So you give up the thread of events not until your networking activity has finished.  It does not block your event feed so that your application will become unresponsive to the user and as you noted, activities requiring feed event, such as the removal of your dialog box, cannot occur.

    You must reprogram your treatment so that the activity of the network as a completely asynchronous operation.  You can't wait on this.  You should get to tell you when it has finished.  I suggest that looking at the observer model during the implementation of this process.

  • Does anyone else have problems with tasks dashing ACS box

    This is the second time that I applied a patch ACS to one of our boxes of ACS SE 1113 only to happen in an unusable state. Today, I applied patch level 4.1.4.13.7 4.1.4.13.11. I used the GUI to apply the hotfix. Now most of the services will not start. Restore does not work. It seems that he will again have to be reconfigured.

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Maybe I should have used the command line to apply the patch?

  • Problem with the new text box - large size

    Hello

    I have a problem with InDesing and just can't understand why it's happening.

    When creating the text box (frame), I am selecting the text tool and want to drag a new text box, InDesing creates a new frame with size 1221, 058 x 1221, 058 mm (always, no matter what...). When I'm typing in it, the text is invisible, in the same way that it is out of reach of the size of the image (at the bottom right I see the Red Cross). It happenes even after hitting only one character and I can't make it visible (adjust to the right).

    Someone has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    I will be grateful.

  • Problem of cluster Failover MS after physical RDM conversion to VMDK

    Hello

    Last week I had to migrate 7 x 2-nodes virtual MS Failover clusters to a new data center. All clusters have been configured with the configuration of the cabin and all shared disks were in physical RDM mode.

    The target data center does not RDM disks so I had to convert all RDM disks VMDK files and use config before the migration of the IPC.

    I used vmkfstools to convert VMDK eagdrzeroedthick RDM files.

    5 clusters have been migrated successfully, but two cluster got strange question even if the procedure for all groups was the same.

    So in two groups, I have a problem where the second node in the cluster can not put online some of the shared disks. The first nodes in the clusters have no problem with the disks/SSP.

    But when I try to failover of all services, the second node may not bring online disc 1 or 2 shared, even if she can put the other shared disks online.

    VMKernel.log is not errors or warnings. I checked the configuration of virtual machines and everything seems OK.

    Any ideas what I could check?

    Just in case anyone else is facing the same problem.

    I could not find the root cause of the problem, even if it's without a doubt the conversion that triggered the problem. However, we found quite a simple solution - added new shared VMDK files, copied the files over and replaced the defective discs.

  • Cluster MS with VMFS - why only Cluster in a box of decision-making support?

    Hi all

    Ive been reviewing the KB of Microsoft Clustering on Vmware here: -.

    http://KB.VMware.com/kb/1037959

    https://www.VMware.com/PDF/vSphere4/R41/vsp_41_mscs.PDF

    And noted that VMFS is taken in charge for shared storage, but only clustered in a box configuration, so that the two nodes of the cluster are on the same physical ESX host.  Anyone know why this limitation is in place?

    Why can I not have a VM on different ESX host?

    See you soon

    Stewart

    It has to do with the fact that two ESX / / ESXi hosts cannot access a VMDK at the same time - that of why a Cluster across Boxes can use a VMFS fo the VMDK quorum data store and data shared VMDK.

  • Problems to AutoFill a text box

    Hello

    I'm trying to fill in a text field with 'Yes' or 'No', based on the value placed in another text field. If the value [textfield 1] is greater than 0, I want a 'no' to appear in [text field 2] and if the value of [textfield 1] = 0, I want a 'yes' to appear in [text field 2]. If [textfield 1] is empty, I want [2 textfield] empty. I put the following code in the custom calculation area of [textfield 2]:

    var a = this.getField("textfield_1").value;

    if(a=="") event.value = "";

    of other if(a>0) event.value = "No";

    else if(a==0) event.value = "Yes";

    Currently if the value of [textfield 1] is greater than 0 'no' appears, but if empty field remains the value of [text 1 field] = 0. I don't know why that is. This code worked for me before when the conditions of value are different. Is this something to do with the value of 0?

    I would like also to other fields are visible when [2 textfield] is met with a "no" in the box and hidden when [text field 2] is filled with a 'yes '. This is the code I used in the custom validation script:

    If (event.value == 'Yes') {}

    this.getField("textfield_3").display = display.hidden;

    this.getField("checkbox1").display = display.hidden;

    } Else if (event.value == "No") {}

    this.getField("textfield_3").display = display.hidden;

    this.getField("checkbox1").display = display.hidden;

    }

    Once again this code worked for me for other fields. I think that it does not work now because I don't have the calculation Script still works?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    The problem is that when you convert an empty string to a number, it becomes zero... So I would use something like this:

    var a = this.getField("textfield_1").valueAsString;

    Si (a == » ») {}

    Event.Value = "";

    } else {}

    a Number (a) =;

    If (a == 0) event.value = "Yes";

    else if (a > 0) event.value = "No";

    }

    Try it: insert a text container with the cpInfoCurrentFrame system variable on a slide. Put a button, a form button and a click on this slide with the same action as easy as showing a previously hidden object. The slide will pause at the first point of suspension, but will be released when the user clicks on one of the interactive objects. I wanted to correct that information, for you and for other users.

    And regarding the grouping, watch this video: Advanced actions in CP6?
