Question on the design of multiple sites

Hi all

We currently have 2 a SAN Equallgoic in the main office and one branch office are.  We have 3 ESX host to each location for a total of 6 ESX host.  All virtual machines are stored on Equallogic SAN, and all hosts will bind in a virtual Center Server at Headquarters.  Each site has a few virtual machines that are running for this office and replicate these VM to the other office for purposes of recovery after disaster.  I have attached a diagram of ruff of how it is configured.

Now for the questions:

(1.) with the VM being spread over two sites all also how Virtual Center will handle high availability through the VPN?

2.) if HA been trigger due to a failure of the host to one of the sites how will decide what server the virtual machine starts, and if she decides to start up on another host in another site, how will he know to use the replication data

Currently, 3) We have no site recovery manager then recovery is a manual process.  What would be the best method for manual restore?

(1.) with the VM being spread over two sites all also how Virtual Center will handle high availability through the VPN?

HA will work but only within a given site. i.e. If a virtual machine is to site A and site host A fails, he feed to site A.  If you want to go to site B, you should look into MRS.

*2.) If HA off due to a failure of the host to one of the site how

He will decide what server the virtual machine starts, and if she

Decides to start on another host in another site, how will he know to

Use the replication of data*.

It will not try to start on the other side and use the replicated data because the target of replication is probably read only.

**3.) We currently do not have site recovery manager so the recovery is a *.

manual process . What would be the best method for manual restore? *

A complete site failure will look like this:

1. breaking replication

2. your LUNS replicated to your able recovery read/write site

3. present the LUN being replicated to your ESX server hosts

4. configure the host ESX server to the LUNS will rescan and add data warehouses and resig (according to ESX3 or 4)

5 browse the data store or vmware-cmd to save virtual machines on the replicated LUNS

6. do a quick validation test (make sure that the vSwitch/portgroup configuration is acceptable)

7. power VMs on 1 at a time. Since its an IPSEC connection I am doubting you lasted VLAN so you'll have to re - IP as it happens

8. change DNS settings

9 adjust the upstream/downstream dependencies as needed.

SRM will automate everything up to 8 and can usually be scriped manage 9. This is not 100% complete, but should give you an idea.

Edit to add your next questions:

* should the LUNS of

the two sites be shared to all ESX servers? or would it be better to simply

have the local ESX servers to have access to its premises LUN? *

Your local ESX servers should have access to only local storage devices, unless you have a very low latency and a fast connection between sites (say < 10 ms and at least gigabit) as well as having in this respect be a layer 2 connection. In this way your VLANS/subnets/etc are always the same on the other side.

  • Philosophical question about the design of the table

    I'm new in the world of RDBMS. I read a lot but have little practical experience. I'm upgrading of old applications that I know well. I'm interested in advice/opinions on a number of issues, from it.

    My application periodically (at the discretion of the user, so can be daily, weekly or monthly) should take a snapshot of some data. This snapshot is then used for various activities, such as a control point of reconciliation with external clients - so it must be 'frozen' rather than be derived at a later date. But if the snapshot proved to be a mistake, I can possibly be rerun (crushed) - requiring all lines to delete everything first.

    Data must be accessible in different ways, everything would need the date of snapshot to be part of the index or a group of clauses.

    Snapshots can be copied or replicated to other servers for purposes to relieve the burden of filing database. Old clichés may be archived, ignored backups of routine, deleted and so on.

    Is there a case for the inclusion of the date of snapshot as part of the name of the table? It would simplify the index structures, reduce the size of the individual table, perhaps to improve the competition (for users who access an old cliché while another is being created), facilitate separate archiving and much easier to drop and create table to remove all the lines before a replay. Of course, it reduces the size of the table that could potentially become very large.

    However, the previous snapshot is used as a starting point for the following, or a subsequent repeat) you need to be able to quickly determine who is the nearest date start - easy if they are all in 1 table, can be more load trying to determine is whether a specific table at the time to a given date.

    I look forward to some expert advice. :)

    No--not from a point of view of the data modeling. The snapshot date is an attribute. Attributes are not incorporated in the name of the entity being modeled.

    However, you can decide to implement the instant entity tabular instant daily - but the attribute date (column) will always be an attribute. In other words, you must not remove the attribute date as a table column as the table name now.

    This decision (implemented as a multi table entity) have meaning when not having is not a better way to manage the physical aspects of the table. Partitioning for example would be a much better option to use - a single partitioned table, containing multiple partitions, where a partition physically contains data for a specific instant day (including the index).

    Basically, there is a very clear line between the logical data modeling and the material realization of this model. Oracle provides a bunch of features that you can use on the side of the material realization. As index organized tables. Table of clusters, partitioning and so on. But how you implement the physical model does not dictate the design of the logic model.

    However, the previous snapshot is used as a starting point for the following, or a subsequent repeat) you need to be able to quickly determine who is the nearest date start - easy if they are all in 1 table, can be more load trying to determine is whether a specific table at the time to a given date.

    I would use a management entity - that describes the metadata for a snapshot. As when it was created, the filter criteria used, the time it took (still useful for performance and troubleshooting purposes), be it an an active/valid capture instant or not - or any other attributes necessarily to manage this logical snapshot as a set of data.

    The biggest problem with a physical model that uses separate physical tables for the same entity, it is appropriate to use table name must be determined at run time. This means dynamic SQL. Dynamic SQL means an increase in complexity, open any SQL injection holes, having to deal with errors which would not intervene with static SQL, etc.

    If this approach to your data model's physical implementation needs a review carefully to ensure that it works as efficiently and effectively as required.

  • Question about the design of conditional text

    Posted in the wrong forum, post again here.

    I have a relatively important book (230 pages) with dozens of tables and 100 graphics. I need 4 versions of this book. One for each grade level (3) and the other if happy for all 3 grades is sold as a "master class".  Other than the implementation of conditional text, the book is ready to go. I tried two different ways to approach the tables under certain conditions (some of which are within blocks of text, some just anchored to a page) but I do not quite understand.  Application of conditional text tags (with different colors and markers for each) seems to crash (i.e. almost duplicatable unlike the grave 'normal' down 3-4 I feel daily last month that are just randomly). Sidenote: I was very happy to see that they will solve the crash of book printing...

    Reference markers are involved in these conditional sections, and I have my suspicions that they are guilty of the root of my other problems of crash, but then FM crashed when applying conditional text to a section that * don't * have a x - ref, so I don't know what to think.

    I need to get out Monday. So my question is, if I need 4 tables in one page (one for each version) I better just do 4 copies of the book and the compilation of this way? I sold the customer on FM mainly due to the ability to compile several book of basic documents... so, I really hate to have 4 copies when I give the source. I know that you can select rows in a table for a version (so I could do a very large table for 3 versions and simply choose different lines), but this is one thing that seems almost certain to make it crash as well.  And the paintings of masters have an extra column, but also a line so I still need 2 tables by doc so I could get the conditional statements to stop crashing. Is there a better way to 'design', which could suggest an experienced FMer? Some custom utility which works even if it isn't free?

    Just in case someone asks:

    The system configuration

    FM 11

    new facility in August, not upgraded

    All the files are originally from FM11 and new

    Windows 7-64 bit

    20 GB of memory

    2 TB - local disc c /.

    Thanks for your suggestions on this.

    Well, it didn't crashed this morning when I put the x back references in the conditional table. Sent to fmerror with the steps for dupe.

    But on the mif wash. I've done it "manually" once a week now for the last two weeks. Can't say if it is to help, but it is always recommended, so I do. However, I was wondering if anyone had a recursive script that would do this automagically...

    Thank you

    Laurie

    Edit:

    Search mif washing (and variants) and nothing gets on the Adobe site. I figured out through a vague reference to an old thread where to find it and thought that I note for new users: If there is...

    Book MIF Wash is that a utility provided by Adobe that recursively traverses all the files in your book, opens, writes the .mif file then re-recorded this file to your FM - washing apparently file everything watered in your FM file. Manually, this process takes forever. And even if you see frequent references to: did you do a mifwash yet? "when someone has a problem, there is no documentation on what I found.

    It is a "sample" allowing Adobe script.

    Go whenever you have installed FrameMaker and navigate to the BookMIFWash folder or browse to the file BookComponentMIFWash.dll, which in my case was to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Samples\ScriptsAndUtilities\BookMIFWash.

    Copy the file BookComponentMIFWash.dll in C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\fminit.

    Restart the console.

    Then you will see that nothing has changed.  ;-)

    You must select the book with your mouse in the Document window, and then the menu item utilities book "dynamically" appears. Down there, you will find some MIF Wash book.

    I always pay attention to the warning to make sure that I have a copy of the entire project before running it. :-)

    Hope this helps someone else.

  • A few questions about the design of Data Guard

    Hi, I have a few basic questions around design Data Guard

    Q1. Looking at the instructions of Oracle for the creation of a logical standby, he recommends first creating a physical standby and then convert waiting logic. However, I thought that a logical standby might have a totally different physical structure of the primary. How can this be the case if a logical standby first starts his life pending physical (where the structure must be the same)?

    Q2. It is a normal practice to back up your database before as well - if yes why?

    Q3. Can RMAN back up a database of the day before while he is in the State mounted (rather than opening it)?

    Q4. What is the point of cascade redo apply rather than just get the primary ship to each standby?

    I guess you could try to reduce the latency of node to node if some the day before were quite remote from the primary

    Q5. Is it possible to convert a physical logical Standby?

    Q6. What number best of Standby, you can have - Oracle suggests 30 but I thought I remember reading somewhere regarding the 11 GR 2, that this limit has now been increased?

    Thank you

    Jim

    Hello again;

    "begins each logical waiting first her life on hold physical?"

    Its the only way I ever did. I think it is the simple way to do it.  By the presence of a physical standby first you have already confirmed the network and most of the settings for Data Guard so that you can focus on only the logic of the standby database configuration.

    Chapter 3 of this book, it's easy:

  • A small question about the design: black on white or white on black

    When in a black and white design, a symbol in black on a white background is reflected in the opposite colors, white symbol on a black background seems thicker to me. The image of the sample, the bulb on the right looks like more thick for me.

    Are my eyes just poor, or is this an optical illusion?

    If it's an optical illusion, in a real design would it be acceptable to the symbol in black on white background really thicker to compensate? An example where something like that could happen would be a coat-of-arms.

    Thanks for any ideas you may have for me!

    Everything is the same size and scale properly as you can see using leaders... If so, just an optical illusion. If it were me, I'd leave it.

  • Source of inspiration for the design of Web sites - where are you?

    Hello.

    I apologize if this belongs somewhere else. Please ignore if this is the case.

    I was wondering where to find the right source of inspiration for a design of business websites. I tried dozens of large enterprises, small businesses and others and have not really found something that looks pretty good.

    I want something that fills 100% of the browser window, is only designed in XHTML and CSS and have a column layout. Preferably with a white background.

    Can someone suggest a good source of inspiration. I searched for days without result.

    Thanks in advance

    Inspiration comes in all forms and shapes.  I keep boxes of old magazines for ideas of plan layout and color.

    At the moment I have no double key Option of NIC, then the only way in my deployment is the DMZ preffered way, right? Or make me another option?

    Well, in this case, you can have the VCS-E in public, VCS - C behind the firewall and an area between the two.

    You can increase the security nat'ing and with who use dual NICs on the VCS-E option.

    WebWorks applications, like all other applications on the BlackBerry OS, cover the full screen by default.  If you want to include in your application, your own taskbar to display information at the level of the system (battery, carrier, time, etc.), you need to include this logic in the application itself (for example to create a)

  • Questions about the allocation of multiple NETWORK cards in a machine virtual Windows XP Machine HOST/NAT or bridged?

    Hi all

    That is the situation. We have a Machine physics WindowsXP with 5 CARDS, all with static IP. Only be connected to the internal network without physical Internet connection is used.

    Map NETWORK 1 has a 10.34.78.241/255.255.255.0 IP Gateway 10.34.78.2

    Map NETWORK 2 has an IP 192.168.22.242/255.255.255.0

    Map NETWORK 3 has a 192.168.100.241/255.255.255.0 IP

    Map NETWORK 4 has an IP 172.27.254.240/255.255.0.0

    5 NIC has an IP 192.168.242.10/255.255.255.252

    I used VMWare Converter Standalone to do a P2V PC, which works well with the latest version of VMWare Workstation. All were brought to the course successfully. The virtual machine has 5 Networksas by the XP Machine of origin.

    I built a Win7 Machine with 5 physical NETWORK interface cards, I suppose to replicate the Windows original XP Machine, I need configure the static IP address of the new NICs as shown above and configure cards NETWORK the VM 5 HOST mode and use the virtual network Editor

    to adapt the VMS NICS? Or is there a better way to do it?

    Cheers for any help and advice that can be provided...

    If I'm wrong, you should be able to create a Bridged (vmnet) network for each physical card. Make sure that one (which is created by default) is mapped to a physical NIC dedicated rather than automatic.

    Answers to the questions of layout are contained in your code.  No screenshots.

    #1 the design mode is not reliable to test the merits of your layout.

    Use the Live View or preview in browsers.

    #2 when floating elements that it seems you are doing (we don't really know because you haven't we shown your code), it is often necessary set the CSS of the container parent overflow: hidden which prevents the collapse of margin.

    #3 don't forget to add a float of compensation to your CSS code once the tanks are no longer needed.

  • Lights of fireworks or Dreamweaver to start the design process?

    Please tell us which is the best application use to start the design process a site, from the point of view of a print designer code-illiterate - I assumed it would be Dreamweaver but read somewhere recently that I should start in Fireworks (which I always thought was more for the creation of graphical web content optimized).

    As a print designer, I use InDesign CS4 (with Photoshop and Illustrator) and would like the tool more logical and intuitive to use to start the work of designing a site with advice.

    Once the design is approved I will have someone who knows what they're doing with HTML, CSS and PHP etc to check everywhere and make the delicate bits.

    Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    PS - my apologies if this is wrong forum label, but I posted this question yesterday on the Web Design Forum, but then thought that this may be a more appropriate forum to publish.

    If you are a designer to create a new design, Fireworks is a great place to start. (I can't imagine trying to design in Dreamweaver, frankly). If you are familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, you might start with one of these applications, too, but Fireworks has been built to work.

    However, Fireworks is not a coding tool. Like Photoshop, it has the ability to export HTML, but the feature is designed to create models, not live sites. After you have your site designed in Fireworks, you or someone else can use Dreamweaver for (re) - produce the design in the code.

    You can use Fireworks to statements your vertical grids, placing graphics header and navigation, place-holding text value (remember that HTML text can be resized by our users, places for blocks of text must therefore be able to resize). And Yes, once you have your design, use Fireworks to slice that design and export the graphics optimized for your encoder to use.
