SQL 2005 Volume Design on EqualLogic PS5000

• vCenter and SQL 2005 Express on the same physical machine

  I'm new on the VMware environment and am a little concerned about my VMware infrastructure and design.  I have 3 boxes physical accommodation 15 virtual servers.  I have a 4th server that hosts the database SQL and vcenter.  I am wondering what are my chances of having vCenter and SQL 2005 express installed on the same box?  That suggest VMware as best practices concerning this configuration?  If this configuration is ok, what are my options to protect myself in case the box with vCenter and the SQL database dies?  Thank you

  VMware sets a limitation to 5 guests and 50 wen invited you use SQL Express. I run it with 6 guests and 48 guests (incl. models) on the same machine as the server vcenter. That's not what I want to keep and we will change to a standard SQL 2005 on a separate server from SQL (which we had with SQL 2000 and before VI3).

  But I didn't have one problem with this configuration, again.

  With both on the same server may lead to a conflict: SQL 2005 requires IIS but vCenter uses ports. So I installed it but disabled.

  I think also that separating the two tracks faster that have it all on the same box.

• SQL 2005 Ent on machine virtual ESX 3.5

  I built a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise VM inside VMware (ESX Server 3.5 Update 3) host. We have Celerra NS20 Unifided EMC storage, which is where the server VM using different LUN. Does anyone have recommendations on installation of SQL 2005 Enterprise on a given server to Win2k3 VM, with regard to the way in which it must be installed in order to get the best performance and reliability... I'm looking for suggestions as SQL must be installed on the drive main hard and stored on a different LUN or SQL databases must be installed on a different LUN of the operating system? I intend setting up a LUN specifically for newspapers, so to keep separated from traffic, but wonder about the base installation of SQL and databases...

  Thanks for any advise you might have.

  It is a big question.  Here are a few things I do in this case...

  • Do not install anything - even the binary SQL on C

  • Prune/use a VMFS RAID5 for the SQL programs and databases on a volume

  • Want/use a VMFS RAID1 for newspapers

  There are 2 important things here.  One is that you have isolated the OS - DB and registers all logical drives different worms.  It is very nice to be able to make a hot grow of these disks

  The other is more for performance.  It depends on how transactional (how'RE Ops / s) the system will be.  In most cases, you should be able to have the other VM to share these same volumes, but changing the RAID level can provide a performance gain based on how the data are accessible.

  I don't know if it would be necessary to isolate a VMFS LUNS () set to the SQL database for a virtual machine.  It is a function of your SAN infrastructure and how hard the VM SQL is hit.

  We have several virtual machines with DB on the same LUN, and so far it hasn't appeared to cause problems.  You can always start with a more conservative approach and slowly add that you feel comfortable.

• EqualLogic PS5000 - how many LUNS

  We just bought a Dell Equallogic PS5000 to connect to our virtual machine environment.  We will connect only ESX host (3 of them) to the Equallogic.  The guest VM will use local storage to ESX, but all virtual machines running on the hosts will get their memory by the Equallogic.

  The question is: how many LUNs we set up on the PS5000?  What determines how many LUNS are necessary?

  Thanks for any information.

  > We need to have an another LUN for snapshots of server (equallogic)?

  N ° when you create a volume on your Equallogic SAN, it will default again reserve the same amount of space for the snapshots. At any time, you can increase or decrease this placeholder. If you use this placeholder the default action is to delete the oldest snapshot.

  > Can initially set you 1 LUN with a limited amount of space (say 1.5 to) then expand out more later if necessary and add additional LUNS required?

  Yes, but you can't do that. Yes, you can create a volume of 1.5 TB and later it increases the size, but it is the new size will be automatically recognized by the operating system. I do not think hand VMFS (VMware f system Island) will stretch to see increased at all space, so your option here is to create a second volume with the point and creating a large volume. The downside of this is that something happened to one of the targets in a store of data scopes ALL data are lost. I agree that extended are bad - they placed there, and there, they must be kept.

  However, lets say, you know that in the future a specific target (LUN) must be bigger, but because you have only 7 TB of space you can not afford to provide it is all he needs. For example a fileshare, you know over time people are just going to store more and more, it's where you could introduce a large volume, say 2 TB, but it would only consume as much space as the data required stored summer, as more data is written more space is necessary. This is called a provisioning, this is a double-edged sword. If you have too use a provisioning by presenting each volume as finely put into service and so this 70 TB of storage of your 7TB dashboard, what you can do, but if you neglect to submit buy a req to buy and additional storage beyond the gates 7TB before starting the people write about it, you will cause yourself some pain as the operating systems do not like been said they can not write no more!

  Do take a step back and figure out your available LUN, but have no more thing, with Storage VMotion, you can always move VMs. I would advise against the creation of a LARGE volume and stick all your virtual machines on it, rather I would stick with volumes ~ 500GB and spread them out. Don't let some soft space by volume for the use of snapshots of the virtual computer.

  > Are affected LUNS based on some hard disks, storage or both?

  It is not clear to me what is your question here, please provide details, but to confuse the Equallogic issue tables do not have LUNs, but presents goals, but I think that your point of view it is not a difference.

  You may want to get a copy of http://www.amazon.com/VMware-Infrastructure-Advanced-Technical-Operations/dp/0971151083

  Regarding the RAID configuration, if you feel that you are wrong, you can always change it without data loss, you can set per LUN or let it default to what you choose for the entire table.

  Good luck.

• SQL 2005 update failed. error code 663.

  I didn't know an answer to my previous question, which was:-my computer to stop asking me to update.  I try and it tells me that try to update sql 2005 failed.  error code 663.  This has happened for a long time.  I am a user of the computer only so don't understand not why I need SQL 2005.  Can someone give me a simple answer please.  I run windows XP media center edition version 2002 service pack 3

  You don't need SQL 2005 if you know. You can simply uninstall it from Add and remove programs and uninstalling SQL windows update will not offer you the update and you will not receive an error message, but if you want SQL you have to do is to repair the installation of SQL and the error message will disappear!

• 5.2 CSA and Local SQL 2005

  After reviewing the http://cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/csa/csa52/install_guide/CSA52IG.pdf for the system requirements, I stumbled on the following.

  Hardware configurations:

  1 single Pentium 4 processor (3 Ghz +) with 2 GB of RAM

  2 dual processor Xeon (2.5 Ghz +) with 4 GB of RAM

  Only 1 hardware configuration supports Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup Edition or Standard Edition with their limit of 4 GB RAM.

  According to the above documentation, can it really be true that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Workgroup or Standard ed. does not work with the hardware configuration 2?

  Can someone shed some light on why this wouldn't work or check if it works? I had planned on using the hardware configuration 2 with SQL Server 2005, but now I'm unsure if it will work.

  Each configuration will work.

  (1) SQL 2005 Standard does not have the limitation of the RAM, he's going as high as the RAM of the OS.

  (2) limitation of the memory for the Express and the Working Group is that it will not use that much, not that it will not work if you have more (or less for that matter).

• TMS SQL 2005 DB to SQL 2008

  Hello

  I have here a nice problem. We had a former TMS (v.13.1) Server installed to MS 2003 R2 with SQL 2005.

  The export of the DB has been problem free.

  Now, we need to upgrade the operating system to MS 2008 R2 64 bit. We had installed the TMS Version 13.1.2 with SQL 2008.

  How can I import the old DB for new MSDS?

  Who has an idea or if it is?

• SQL 2005 to SQL 2008 R2 update

  Hey everybody,

  I have a MSD (13.0) running on a dedicated Windows 2003 server and has the database hosted on one of our corporate servers running SQL 2005. All the companies getting SQL servers migrate to 2008 R2 at the end of the summer. Has anyone done this type of migration with the MSDS database and what questions or unexpected came?

  Thank you

  Hello Steven

  I'm assuming that you'll upgrade TMS to the latest version as well (13.2%).

  Longer if you follow the procedure documentation and check all the prerequisites and requirement conditions everything should go smooth.

  Please check this link, in particular page 16:

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/TMS/Install_Guide/Cisco_TMS_install_guide_13-2.PDF

  Also, I highly recommend to install TMSPE that uses the database SQL instead of the OpenDS.

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/Telepresence/infrastructure/tmspe/Install_Guide/Cisco_TMSPE_Deployment_Guide_1-0.PDF

  Please note that you must upgrade your VCS so at least 7.1.

  I hope this helps.

• vCenter 4.1 on SQL 2005 express upgrade to vc5

  Hello

  Am looking for first upgrade our environment for vsphere 5... first step is to vcenter.  I've read a lot of threads on this topic... but each looks different... Some say to database backup and uninstall it all... others suggest upgrading the database to 2008 r2 first, etc.

  VSphere 5 has been out for several months, this is a generally accepted approach for upgrading to vcenter 4.1 to 5 located on 2005 express?

  My configuration:
  -vcenter installed on 64-bit Windows 2008 R2

  -The 32 bit SQL 2005 express database

  -You are looking at using SQL 2008 R2 express as database

  -Looking at on place upgraded on the same server 64-bit currently in

  All advice appreciated.
