Question about server failure and data migration store

Hi guys,.

I just KVM/QEMU on Ubuntu Server and CentOS using Ovirt area of expertise VMWare ESXi is an easy to fall into the domain but I have a question for Server (Host) / relationships of data store. At the moment I have 6 ESXi running on a Dell server and use the local storage in the data store. I am limited in storage in this way so I thought I'd do a NAS or SAN, cost dependant, to expand my storage levels but I'm not sure of some things, but this one being the most important. If I use the server as a host of stand-alone and everything stored on NAS or SAN, storage in case the server fails and needs to be replaced can I use a new server and in the case of new installation of ESXi and use the existing database as nothing has happened or is it possible?

Thank you

Yes, it will work. By default the virtual machines consist of a bunch of files stored in a folder, and as long as you use the same (or a newer version) version ESXi - i.e. a data store format supported - you will be able to access these files.

  • Question about the reports and data of rollups

    We followed in place that I need to create monthly reports. There is a custom agent that collects two key all measures that can be used to define a percentage of system availability. They check essentially two types of errors that may occur together or individually. I have not really used reports in Foglight but has spent a good amount of time to play with them today. The main problem/issue I have at this point is how to deal with the accumulation of data. Our retention policy performs three stacks of separate data in a month, how can you effectively report on these data rolled upward?

    Example: one of the agents simply return a 0 if the system is ok and 1 if it finds the error. In the end, we just need to know how many times that 1 has been returned in a month. How would one accomplish? If the sum is for example, 40 for a total of 4 hours is that it means that he met the 40 times error? The frequency of the agent is set to 60 seconds, so that would mean 40 minutes of time error...?

    The other control agent returns specific error codes and not a simple binary value. If the above example or the question is trivial I still don't know how to deal with this one...

    Most likely, you can use the value of the sum for the metric, just as you might have guessed.  Because the value is 0 or 1, the amount will be the total of the values for the time period.  There are also a number of samples, which should / could be higher because there might be 0.

  • A few questions about the use of data and Cliq

    I have the cliq, however I chose to not get 3G (so I bought full fare). So I have a few questions about the phone and the use of 3G / 2 G/Edge:

    1 - is possible to disable completely the 2G / 3 G/Edge? I know you can switch between them, but are anyway just tell the phone to stop using them altogether since I'm not subbed to the service?

    2. when the update takes place, I guess we'll have to reconnect motoblur and etc, but if I don't have 3 G will I have motoblur connection problems after the update? Or he keeps the latest wifi settings so that it would connect to wifi to connect. When I first got my phone it was not a problem b/c I had 3G for the first month.

    I hope that makes sense, thanks!

    To stop all the data, I would like to download an application called APNDroid. He cut them all down. When you log on to blur you have 3G or WIFI doe this without getting a timeout error. During the process of setting up your Blur account, you can press the menu button and set up your wifi to work, this will connect you to Blur and your phone will be connected to the blur. If I were you I would be rethinking to do a data plan since you are really losing out on most of your main features of phones. It's your choice, however.

  • A question about the methods and parameters.

    Hey guys, this is my first post here. I am very new to Java and done a bit of C++ before Java. I had a question about the methods and parameters. I do not understand the methods; I know they can be repeated when it is called, but it's almost everything. I also know that a program should have a class that contains the main method. What I really, really understand on methods is what the parameters are. I know they are in parentheses and that is it. Could you explain what they are? I really appreciate it. Thanks to all in advance. Best regards, Michael

    Taking an example:
    Suppose you calculate area of the rectangle you need two inputs one is the length and the width. Area = l X b, where l = length, b = width

    If your method, say, calculateAreaOfRectangle (length int, int width) will be two parameters as arguments.

    System.out.println ("field of rectangle:" + calculateAreaOfRectangle (40,30);)

    public int calculateAreaOfRectangle (int length, int width) {}
    int area;
    Area = length * width;
    return of area;
    }

    So if you call this method then the output will be returned in 120.

    Parameters of a method are simply the input variables for the method of treatment for all calculations or something useful.

    And we cannot have methods inside the main method in Java. It is in the java syntax and if you do, it will throw a syntax error.

  • Question about the interruptions and priming

    Hello

    I had a few questions about the startup and interruptions in a virtualized environment

    Assuming that, plenty of virtualization (no material assistance to virtualization of memory ).

    1 initialization: in an ordinary PC, the boot process starts with the BIOS, to expansion ROM, back to the BIOS and MBR secondary boot record, then grub (is it) and finally the operating system. In a virtualized environment with VMM running directly on top of hardware (Native VMM), how is the initialization of the different process, as I understand it takes BIOS-> Expansion ROM - > BIOS-MBR-> other record secondary-> VMM-> OS--> applications >. Am I right on that?

    2 breaks: VMM examines the source interruptions prior to the interruption, so in a multicore environment, assuming a 2 processor core, how the VMM decides on the kernel for which the interruption in intended, prior to shipment of the interruption. Interruptions are tag ID, said core ID?

    Thanks in advance

Am I right on that?

    It is simplistic but essentially correct.  A metaphor would be a little better thinking that the hypervisor/vmm is an operating system, except that the process on this operating system are requests or comments OSes.  If the BIOS-> OPROM-> BIOS-> MBR-> hypervisor-> init process of the hypervisor-> reviews of fork () s operating systems.  This can become blurred by the design choices (for example Xen/Hyper-V init start a coded parent hard partition that makes hypercalls privileged to fork() guest OSes; ESXi init runs a very limited subset of applications directly on the hypervisor and ESX Classic is somewhere between these approaches).

    There is a subtle distinction between "hypervisor" and "www."  The "hypervisor" is the operating system of single root (e.g. ESX) who interacts directly with the hardware and has access to everything; a hypervisor is not to be used to run virtual machines.  When we talk about a "hypervisor", the tendency is to describe something which is a BONE (although usually a minimal OS designed only to run virtual machines).  The "www" is the layer that allows a virtual machine run: it provides the interposition, virtualization and emulation services and can be plural (for example a vmm by guest operating system).  Architecture of VMware deal with these two separate components, while most other virtualization platforms merge the two.

    Strictly speaking, the interruption is not transmitted to a guest operating system - receives the hypervisor (or rather the VMM it transmits to the hypervisor), the hypervisor drivers interpret the interruption (for example reading package of NIC, I/O process of HBA, the timer tick completion), then after a new appropriate break in the guest OS.

  • Question about MSD + upgrade and migration applications

    Hi all

    I am running:

    TMS 13.2

    TMSPE 1.0

    The two co reside on a Windows 2003 server, pointint in an external box of SQL.

    We also organize TCX 2.3 on our Exchange.

    Now that our server guys have * finally * installed the service pack required on the Exchange, we are ready to migrate to TMSXE but also to upgrade the TMS and TMSPE.

    So we want ot go to:

    TMS 14.2.1

    TMSPE 1.1

    TMSXE 3.1

    In addition to migrate a Windows server 2008R2 TMS + TMSPE.

    I know the different individual guides to upgrade as well as the dependencies between TMS and TMSPE/TMSXE versions.  I'm hoping to do the upgrade and migration all in one and am hoping to get some tips on the best order to do everything.

    My first question - decomission the 13.2/TMSPE server 1.1 TMS, that I can install TMS 14.2.1 and TMSPE 1.1 on the Windows Server 2008, they point to the relevant databases and allow upgrading from there? Or do I need install the new versions TMS/TMSPE on the old server, first of all, upgrade the databases and then migrate?

    Second question - before all this, I run the TMSXE migration tool to extract the data 2.3 TCX, uninstall TCX of Exchange, TMS upgrades and then install TMSXE 3.0/3.1 at the end?

    As all this is running on the virtual machine I'll instant just in case.  Advice on the issues listed above, or general advice about these upgrades would be appreciated

    Hi Nick, IMHO, I suggest you first migrate your 2.3 TCX to TMSXE 3.0.2 by this TMSXE 3.0 installation guide, and then pass the TMS and PE later.

    Yes, VM snapshot backup option before any upgrade is fine.

  • Questions about Failver customer and rapid failover

    have some questions about customer and quick Faiolver of Oracle Database HA failover. Before asking these questions, I want to explain my environment. Here are the details.



    -We have two physical locations called "ABC" and "PQR".
    -ABC is the main site.
    -PQR is the backup site.
    -In ABC, we have the database to Oracle RAC (11.2.0.2) with two nodes.
    -In the PQR, we have only one stand-alone server (11.2.0.2) database with ASM. This isn't a RAC.
    -Data Guard has been configured between ABC and PQR and it works as expected.
    -Please note that we have a license for Active Data Guard.
    -We have products of Oracle Identity Management to ABC and PQR and they will use the RAC database as a primary database that is in the CBA.
    -We have not yet set up a Data Guard Broker.

    We want to achieve under objectives:


    Objective 1:
    -------

    Whenever primary CARS down completely, standby database becomes a primary database AUTOMATICALLY and it should allow the read/write operation.
    I guess it's called 'Fast Failover'. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

    Issues related to the:

    -To do this, I need to set up Data Guard Broker so that this standy database becomes primary when CARS go down completely with a power outage, planned or not.
    -Let's say that CARS falls does completely, how long take Data Guard Broker do standby db as primary.
    -What the client application / which is already connected to the CARS.
    -Let's DB standby became as primary and after some time if RAC comes back, keep data automatically becomes the primary role of RAC?


    Objective 2:
    --------

    As I explained above, all products Oracle IDM and applications to speak to the RAC database, what do know only on the RAC database, which is the main. They are not aware of the pending database.

    -Whenever a client session is underway with the primary database of CARS if CARS completely falls down, we would like to wait until the client session should get transferred datbase standby without losing session information. However before that happens, standby database should become primary because the client session can perform write operations.

    -Whenever a client attempts to connect to the primary CARS and assumes that the cab is completely down, we would like to expect from any client connections should are transferred pending database.
    However before that happens, standby database should become primary because the client session can perform write operations.

    According to my knowledge, above scenarios are called "client failver." Please let me know if I'm wrong.



    Issues related to the:
    ----------

    1. Please throw some light to reach above features.
    2. According to my understanding, before customer failover happens, fast failover expected has already occurred and ensure should get the switch for the main role. I guess that all this happens thanks to timeout settings. What are those.


    Could you please help?

    Thank you

    I didn't say that clients cannot reconnect automatically when primary fails: I meant that client sessions can generally reconnect and also keep any session state.

    Yes, they can reconnect but only to keep the session state for a SELECT statement. It is also possible with Data Guard, not only in the CARS I wrote: here's a demo with 10 g
    http://uhesse.WordPress.com/2009/08/19/connect-time-failover-transparent-application-failover-for-Data-Guard/.
    What is not possible is to maintain a session state: (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) pending transactions must be cancelled.

  • Questions about apex_web_service.make_request and collections

    Hello

    I began using with Apex Web services, and I have a few questions about the apex_web_service.make_request procedure. You can pass a name of the collection as a parameter. I'm a little confused on this parameter from the collection...

    This is perhaps a silly question, but the documentation is not very clear, so... This procedure always inserts just a line in the collection (with the XML returned by the web service call), or are there cases where several lines will be inserted?

    If there is still only a single row, what are the practical reasons to use a collection for her? I ask because in most cases interest you about the columns/rows to display in a form or a report in the Apex and I don't see the advantage to store in a collection of single-row, but I may be missing something...

    If the response contains several rows of data, it will be automatically extract the lines and insert them into the different lines of the collection? (posts...)

    What is the best approach then to extract several rows returned in the XML response and insert them into a collection? Currently I use XMLTABLE in a loop and call apex_collection.add_member for each row returned. is there a better way to do it?

    Thank you
    Luis

    Luis,

    the webservice returns only one row in the results collection.

    XMLTABLE using is a good idea, instead of using a loop, you can also use APEX_COLLECTION. CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY or CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY_B (B for bulk which may mean 'fast').

    brgds,
    Peter

  • question about sending mail and the use of UrlEncodedPostData

    Hello

    I need to send over https three things:

    (1) framework, which is a byte [] object, and has some information about the device and the things that need to be sent to the server

    object String 2) imei - imei of the device.

    (3) data - some data, which are a String object

    now I need to use URlEncodedPostData, but...

    UrlEncodedPostData _post = new UrlEncodedPostData(null, false);
    
    _post.append("frame", ???)-> my frame is a byte[] object
    

    so, what should I do? should I change channel frame? but, later when I send the _post to the server that I use:

    _httpConnection.openDataOutputStream(_post.getBytes());
    

    YH, the problem is-how to put a byte [] object to the urlEncodedPostData and then send it?

    The point of encoding is to ensure that special characters can be detected correctly.  There is no URL address, as the settings.

    You will notice that the class that you are trying to use is called URLEncodedPostData.  I don't know if the same URL encoding is used in BOTH and given POST, but I think this class should be used in the data of PUBLICATION, rather than to GET data (look at the name).  You will find that the process of encoding data GET is not so difficult and I don't know if you look you will find J2ME coding code on the Web, that will help you create correctly to GET URL format.

    However, I still think you should consider the difference between GET and POST, and what data is passed by each type of application.  I think that if you had done that earlier, you wouldn't be in this position, you understand better my answers and you will understand how to create the queries POST you have to best use later.  GET and POST are NOT Blackberry or specific RIM, they are the Web specifications and used on all platforms.  There is a lot of documentation out there.

  • questions about 2100 wlc and lwap connection

    Hello

    I have a few questions, I hope you can answer me.

    In fact, I have a controller connected to 3 Lwap 2100, and they are connected to the WCS. they have a static IP address.

    The distance between each point of access to more than 30 meters.

    1. the distance between the access points affect the accuracy or the stream. How can I calculate this

    2. because the APs use a static IP address, each customer should I connect to the network to add a static ip address? can I do the APs detect clients dynamically?

    I have lwapp reset guide, guide WCS configuration and configuration guide for WLC. If you have more documents or more pls share with me.

    Hello Ahmed,.

    Yes the distance between AP affect the wireless signal.

    to determine the best location of AP and the distance between them, as the site survey is necessary with the expert of the spectrum wireless or airmagnat...

    You can check the following links for design and RF management

    1) http://tools.cisco.com/squish/1Ea09

    2) http://tools.cisco.com/squish/51a58

    for other questions about DHCP, it is not a must that customer use static IP, you can always configure them with DHCP.

    as an extenal DHCP (like windows server), or on the WLC himself (to the title of controller-> > internal DHCP tab).

  • Need help planning first VM: data migration store

    Here is where I am: I just install ESX 3i on the 3 hosts, and I want to install a VM on vCenter.  I want this virtual machine in a HA cluster.  Problem is that I don't have my SAN connected yet due to a missing part is shipped at this time.  However, lack of time, I want to crack on the first VM so that I'm not just sitting idle to wait for the parts to arrive.

    It is possible (and relatively simple) simply to create a virtual machine on the local storage for now and then migrate the data to the San store as soon as I get that later installed?  How could I get this?  Did I do against the "rules" so to speak?

    Hello

    When you turn off your virtual computer and right click on your virtual machine (via Client (VI) one of the options is to migrate, once you select Migrate Wizard opens and the steps are:

    1. Select the destination (this can be an another ESX or the same ESX)

    2. Select the resource pool (once again this can be the same)

    3. Select the data store, here you have to choose the option move the configuration of virtual machines and virtual disks files and select your San

    4 review your selection and click on finish

    You will see the progress made in the recent in your VI client task bar, once the task is completed you can resume your VM

    All the best

  • General question about the updates and version number

    I have a general question about versions and update.  I'm new on this and am in the deep end of learning I want.

    In vSphere web client, I see the following versions (these are exactly as the seller, he left a few months that I have screenshots in my documentation that match)

    Version - VMware ESXi, 5.1.0 1612806

    Profile - Dell (updated) ESXi - 5.1 - 799733 (A00)

    I am trying to familiarize themselves with the Update Manager and I noticed that there are a lot of patches and updates available.

    Lists of Update Manager 5 patches as "Missing" with Red x but directly above them are a list of patches with green tick indicating that "installed" - it is perhaps obvious, but im guessing 'installed' means really installed when displayed on the screen - there is an update installed, labeled "ESXI 5.1 all the update 2-' would be able to tell that it has been installed by the details of profile/version above?

    I don't think it's a big deal at this stage, but if I install all missing patches and then the details of the version/profile change in summary screen?

    I hope this makes sense.

  • Question about subjects, books and tables of contents

    I have a question about the subjects, books and tocs. I have a project that someone else created, and my task is to create a new topic and add it to the table of contents. I created the topic, but when I generate CHM project it does not appear in the table of contents. I tried to update the table of contents. What I think (I guess) could be the problem, is the 'links to the topics', when I see the links to the topics in other areas (old) they seem to have a link to the main book, but the new one is not mine. Could you help me? Thank you!!!

    It seems that you have a manual table of contents page, rather than using the table of contents of CHM.

    The toc.htm topic that you see in your list of topics is probably where you will need to add your new topic.

    If the table of contents was already populated when you inherited the project, I suspect the previous author was using it just to keep track of the topics they had added manually to the topic toc.htm - added the CHM topic in summary you did mark the column of the table of contents in the list of topics like '' Yes. '' then add to the toc.htm manual is not. Hope that makes sense.

    P.S. Just guess that it is installing what I can see in the screenshot. It is quite unusual, so I hope I'm right.
