Replication Failover clustering & Hyper-v on a two-node cluster

Hello

We have two identical servers.  One to use as a main server, which houses two virtual machines.  The other should be used as a back up in case the main server is not somehow.  We planned on using a solution of third-party software to back up our virtual machines and launch them in the event of failure of the principal server.  However, we discovered just gave the failover clustering in Windows Server R2 2012.

We have tried to set up a cluster 2 nodes, with our virtual machines properly replicated to the backup server.  Excited by the present, we tried then to simulate failure of the primary server (by pulling on the cable network).  We were a little disappointed to find that the backup server is not automatically run virtual machines.  We did a survey and read than a solution of two nodes requires storage space for additional network (in addition to our two servers).

I wonder if that's okay?  In other words, a two-node failover cluster requires separate network storage space.  If this is not correct, can someone point me to a set of instructions to correctly configure a two-node failover cluster that will automatically launch the virtual machines on the server backup (in the case of a failure of the principal server).

Thank you

Mike Goldweber

  • Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    Hi all

    Can I use ASM / ME to windows server 2012 file server failover clustering?

    We can use it with exchange, sql, sharepoint,..., but I can't find any document for file server.

    Thank you.

    HIT / working ME with CSV W2K12/R2, W2K8 CSV volumes cannot bear not to cancel the MAPPING is the main difference.  But HITTING / will allow ME to create the active copies and replicas of volumes CSV

    Yes the cluster file shares are supported with SUCCESS / me.    If you think about it, SQL, Exchange are indeed a "sharing".   Because it is an NTFS volume with services that run against her.  SQL, Exchange or fileshare services.

  • ESXi HA and SQL Failover Clustering - resolved

    VMware KB: Microsoft Clustering on VMware vSphere: guidelines for supported configurations

    I got confused and lost on how to enable these options on HA only clusters.

    grateful if someone could share their experience in this regard,

    DRS requires vSphere Enterprise license. This is the reason why it does not show these options in your environment. vSPhere HA requires vSphere Standard edition. As you have the standard version, you are able to configure HA.

    There is NO as such impact.

    1. you use MSCS as a cluster of virtual machines & if anything happens to the clustering configured application, MSCS are switched to another VM in the MSCS cluster.  (I'm assuming you use IPC config. Cluster in a box)

    2 vSphere HA allows you to give an extra level of HA at the host/VM level. As you use your virtual machines to the MSCS cluster on top of guests. vSPhere HA is additional HA.

    3. in the case, host fails, vSphere HA are toggled MSCS grouped all VMs to other available inside the HA cluster host vSphere. That is to say it will restart all virtual machines on the other host. Please note that the restart of a virtual computer will have minimal downtime. In this case, as all virtual machines are on the same host, same MSCS cluster will have same downtime as vSphere THAT HA will have. But if you use CAB (Cluster in the box) as MSCS configuration, you can minimize interruptions of service MSCS VMs.

    4. in the case, VM itself fails (no host), vSphere HA will restart the VM has failed on the same host. In this case MSCS are switched all your app on the other virtual machines in the MSCS cluster.

    You have only vSPhere HA without Drs It should be good. Just as DRS gives you more flexibility.

    Please note that in any HA solution, in case of failure, you will come across with minimal downtime (time may differ across different solution HA).

  • two node Oracle RAC with two Oracle databases completely different on each node?

    We currently have two different applications that use Oracle databases.  Current configuration is two different oracle homes dbhome_1, dbhome2 with separate mounting LINUX points containing the Oracle homes and *.dbf files on a single host server.

    Previously, the idea was to set up a second server identical host configured as a 'data guard' for both of these databases.  Now, management wants to implement a cluster of CARS of two nodes, with each node running two databases.  With the Standard edition.

    I only did CARS of high availability and scalability for a single database.  Is it possible to run two completely different databases Oracle on a two-node RAC cluster?  I am inclined to think that they it has divided into

    two clusters RAC to two nodes on four small servers host.  Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated?

    Is it possible to run two completely different databases Oracle on a two-node RAC cluster?

    The short answer is Yes... it is possible.  It will work without any problem, as long as you have the resources available to an additional database.

    I am inclined to think that they it has divided into two clusters RAC to two nodes on four small servers host.

    There is another option.  In the past I have two databases on a RAC cluster that has been implemented for reasons of cost of license / (I don't think that this applies to itself, but you will need to check).

    However having seen on separate hosts that you have only potentially interruptions of service on a database if you decide to do something like upgrading from one of the databases and thus upgrade the GI as well.  This would mean interruptions in service for all your databases using the GI.

  • Cost Estimate to two nodes

    Hello

    Need to implement Oracle RAC on two nodes. I tried first time so need tips basic with you all in what concerns the basic requirements for the installation of RAC.
    Is there any software, other than the necessary configuration for installing Oracle11g?
    What are the basic things I need to keep in mind before installing the CARS.

    thanx

    Hello

    It is recommended, you can find first requirements oracle dovumentation and many messages from oracle by oracle experts blog.

    And my recommendation is before the installation, try checking your configuration with CLUVFY - Cluster verification utility.

  • Can we install two IOM Cluster against same IOM DB Tables?

    Is it possible to run two IOM clustered facilities - OIMCLUSTER1 and OIMCLUSTER2 (only one node in each cluster at this time) against the same Tables IOM DB?

    Thank you!

    It would be much simpler to have a three-node cluster.

    Then all you have to do is:

    -disable the Scheduler in the nodes that will be the front-end server
    -Change the configuration of network/firewall/apache HTTP route queries to the lymph nodes that are not running the Scheduler

    Don't forget you have to console Design point to the Scheduler running node.

  • two nodes ASM has the same instance name

    Hello

    I created a grid of ASM of two nodes, when the grid facility (11.2.0.1) finish he created the + ASM1 as instance name for my two knots.

    I have install the ORACLE_SID in + ASM1 and + ASM2 node1 and node2, respectively prior to installation.

    What is wrong, I do it for the installation of the grid? Please suggest.

    Thank you

    To create a virtual environment of RAC in VirtualBox or to share devices in an environment of ASM, you should turn off the virtual machine and change devices in VirtualBox using the following command:

    $ VBoxManage modifyhd asmdisk1.vdi - shareable type

    Then you can add the same features and use the disgroups on different nodes of the DSO. BTW, this is rather a question of the use of VirtualBox for which there is a special forum.

  • Connectivity between two nodes of Virtual Box

    For a few days, I try to establish the network connectivity between two nodes OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) in Oracle Virtualbox. I tried everything I have found Google, but still nothing works, everytime I try to ping from one node to another node Hostname/IP is showing unknown host. All the advice everyone here will be great for me.

    Published by: 918868 on October 30, 2012 02:30

    When you create a virtual machine, by default VirtualBox allows virtual network card and selects the "Network Address Translation" (NAT) mode for it. In this way the guest can connect to the outside world using the networking of the host and the outside world can connect to services on the feedback that you choose to make visible outside of the virtual machine.

    This default configuration is good probably 95% of users of VirtualBox. VirtualBox is, however, extremely flexible in how it can virtualize networks. It supports multiple virtual NICs per virtual machine, the first four that can be configured in detail in the Manager window. Additional network cards can be configured on the command-line with VBoxManage.

  • Cluster of P2V existing Windows 2003 two nodes exchange 2007

    Hello

    I want to know how I can create a cluster of the P2v of my production windows node cluster on a host two unique esx4i. It is only for purposes of laboratory and test. The reason why I've done a P2v is I want to imitate my production environment, and as production data.

    I've done a p2v of my node Exchange 2007 cluster two production Windows 2003 64-bit.  How can I reconfigure disks (quorum, data) for the cluster?

    I've seen a lot of e of documents telling me to remove the discs and re create, but I want to keep the data.

    I would like to know if someone has done with success the P2v cluster.

    Please notify.

    I understand you want to keep the data - this guide will give you necessary for nodes in vm configurations and storage relavent - if you want to keep the two nodes in the cluster on separate from ESX boxes, then you will need to maintain a quorum and the shared data on the physical SAN LUNS and allows to connect to storage RDM - if they all exist on the same ESX Server I shute evrything down - P@V primary node with the disk data and shared quorum, then P2V system disk of secondary nodes - in both cases follow the configurations described in the guides and you should be good to go-

  • determine if the camera is a camera or two nodes

    Hello world

    is there a way to determine via scripts, if a camera is a camera of a node or a camera of two nodes?

    I tried to check if

    Camera.Property ("ADBE Transform Group"). Property ("Point of Interest")

    is defined, but it doesn't seem to exist also for the cameras of a node that is not a point of interest.

    Best,

    Mathias

    You must use a workaround to check if properties are active. It's the one I use generally:

    activeItem var = app.project.activeItem;

    var cam = activeItem.layer (1);

    var anchProp = cam.property("ADBE_Transform_Group").property ("ADBE Anchor Point");

    point of interest is the anchor.

    var propVisible = true;

    try {}

    anchProp.selected = true;

    } catch (e) {}

    propVisible = false;

    }

    If (propVisible) anchProp.selected = false;

    Alert ("visible property =" + propVisible);

  • Need the XQuery function that compares two nodes.

    Is there a any function XQuery for the OSB 10 g which compares two nodes with a correct management of redundant namespaces?
    There is a function "" fn:deep - equality "that compares two nodes." But it fails when one node is to have redundant namespaces as an attribute.
    I need a XQuery function that compares two nodes for the same content, same child nodes and their content, the same attributes of the child nodes except the attribute xmlns for one of the node that has redundant namespaces (namespace that are already defined in the parent nodes or any unnecessary space of names).

    for example, it should treat following two equal nodes:

    < has t '1' = >
    < xmlns:ns1 b = "ns1" >
    2
    < /b >
    < /a >


    < has t '1' = >
    < b >
    2
    < /b >
    < /a >


    Above two nodes are the same attributes and content except 1st node attribute xmlns. Wise business scenario it is redundant but not bad, same case can occur and I need to take care of these scenarios.
    Please let me know about a feature or logic to treat this

    in fact the XMLs 2 you posted are different to a '2 '.

    I tried this:

    XQuery version "1.0" encoding "Cp1252";
    (: pragma type = "xs: anyType" ::))

    declare namespace xf = "http://tempuri.org/OSB%20Project%201/compare/";

    declare function:compare() xf
    {element (*)}

    Let $a: = (t = '3')(b xmlns:ns="ns") 2 (/ b) (/a)
    Let $b: = (a t = "3") (b) 2 / (b) (/a)

    return {fn:deep - equal ($a, $b)}
    };

    and it does not work as expected, it is the additional xmlns:ns = 'ns' are ignored...

    I had a similar problem, but in the end, I couldn't figure how to remove the white lines.

    I have given up trying to remove the white and just changed the color of the treeview and everything that was drawn on the top in white.

    It was the only way I managed to hide lines.
