SQL Server (disabling the Balooning pilot?)

Hello

I heard something about 'disable your balooning for your production SQL Server driver'?

Is this true? Should I do this? (My ESX Server has enough free memory, the server should not put any pressure on my sql servers)

is there some other best practices of the SQL 2005 server virtualization?

Any help would be appreciated!

What's the point? It will serve only when it does not have enough available resources or when you set a lower limit on the amount of memory put into service. And even then, if you have uninstalled it the next step when there is not enough resources would be the vmkernel swap that always means a performance decrease. I prefer to have the operating system choose pages that share the VMkernel this randomly.

If you want to continue to do an article that explains how without uninstalling the driver here:

  • New installation of SQL Server, disable the write cache?

    Hello, I'm under ESXi 5.1 and I need to configure a virtual machine Windows server 2012 for our first virtual SQL Server.  My database guy tells me that I have to disable the cache write for SQL best practices.  Is it always true when it is a virtual machine?  If it is true where would I turn it off?  To add a bit more info about our storage on a network SAN Dell EqualLogic and we will use SQL 2008 as SQL 2012 is not yet supported.  Thanks for the help!

    I think that your SQL guy assumes the ESXi host will be caching on its own transparent for the VM by default. This is incorrect, ESXi does nothing like that.

    The only place where caching of write i/o can happen is on the side of physical storage outside ESXi, so in your case the SAN controllers (no reason not to have this license here too long as it is on battery/flash) or the discs themselves (ugh, it is never enabled by default for a good reason).

    BTW: I'm pretty sure that SQL 2008 is not supported on Server 2012.

  • disable the balloon pilot

    Hello

    We'll be the citrix server virtualization.  I had read a lot of articles & they say all "disable the balloon pilot during installation vmtools" during the installation of girl I can't find something to do with a balloon pilot.  I found something else that says that you must disable this through the VI client & gt; guest operating system etc, but it is for the host.

    is it possible to do this thinking the VM tools so that it only disables the balloon on the VM?

    Thank you

    Strongly, I agree with the above two posts and do not recommend disabling the balloon on any virtual machine pilot! But if you are here is the procedure to do so.

    :

    Connect directly to the ESX Server host computer where the virtual machine resides on, using Virtual Infrastructure Client (VI Client).

    -Stop the virtual machine.

    -Right-click on the virtual machine on the inventory Panel, then click on change settings.

    -Click on the Options tab, and then select general.

    -Click on the Configuration settings.

    -Click Add a line, and then add the sched.mem.maxmemctl setting in the text box.

    -Click on the line next to it and add a 0 in the text box.

    -Click OK to save the changes.

  • Windows 7 64 bit Pro connects to SQL Server on the Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard domain

    I put upgraded to Windows 7 Professional computers to Windows XP Professional, but I have a problem with getting one of software programs management of stock that allows us to connect to our SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Windows on new Windows 7 computers.

    Our computers are connected to a domain, and therefore SQL Server. Computers Windows XP allows each user to standard domain to connect and to connect to SQL Server via the stock management software.

    But on the standard domain of Windows 7 Pro computer users unable to connect to SQL Server, but administrator accounts of area on the same Windows 7 Pro computers can connect to SQL Server through the inventory control program.

    I have set up the alias of the server, the server name and port number via the SQL Server Client Network utility ( cliconfg.exe ) so I know this isn't the problem because it works when I'm logged on as a domain administrator.

    There seems to be something to do with permissions of user domain and Windows 7 Pro. There seems to be a change from Windows XP Pro to Windows 7 Pro that does not allow standard domain users to connect to a SQL Server. But I can't find anything about and cannot practice how to solve this problem, except to make all users, domain administrators that is obviously not a good thing to do. So basically I think I need to create a group policy that allows users to connect to SQL Server, but I have no experience in doing this and don't know where to start.

    Thank you for all that you guys help and I hope someone can give me the solution to this problem.

  • Disable the test pilot

    I just noticed test driver in the list of tools. I never loaded it. I also found that I was on the beta channel that I never accepted to be. I have loaded just release 23.01, but cannot remove the test pilot. It does not appear in the list of addons, so there is no option to delete.

    How can I get rid of this unwanted addon?

    On my old XP PC, kept for an earlier application only, I run Firefox 19.0.2 with updates disabled (never check the updates). Yesterday, an application of the test pilot appeared request an update for one of "my studies". Had no idea that this was therefore rejected. Arises once or twice more, so I looked for info and found this page. How she came in my non updated geriatric FF? Remove it now.

    In addition, it is a dynamic environment. Ambulances are constantly in motion. This page must be dynamic, so that the page can be updated to show the latest data.

    You must create the map and tile layer prior to place markers and then run your loop inside of the script tag.

    I highly recommend reading through the tutorials on the site of the brochure.  They go on these things in detail.

  • [4EA2] connecting to SQL Server with the second instance

    Connection to the early work of the Forum very well and I can choose the DB for this instance.

    There is a second instance... In the ODI driver, can I use this syntax

    JDBC:WebLogic:SQLServer://Server \instanceName_Reporting:1433

    I tried to enter the host name server\instanceName tab in SQL Server... It does not work... Does not the 3.2 Developer either.

    Any ideas?  I don't know what the custom jdbc url must be if I tried to use the Advanced tab.

    Found the answer

    In the port field enter

  • Number of databases such as Oracle and SQL Server in the same application ADF

    Hello

    In my application, I need to use two different databases such as Oracle and SQL Server. There are screens that I need to develop in the ADF where I need to involve fields of the tables in these two different databases. I just want to know - is it possible to do so in application of the ADF?

    Or to create a sort of link between these databases in the backend? Then create a view object involving some distributed SQL queries. What can I do with this type of request than anything? I mean, can I use the two insert or update operation using this VO?

    Or y at - it another way to do this?

    Please help, help here would be really appreciated. I've been stuck with this problem for a while now. I did search our forums for the same problem, but was not able to find a reliable solution.

    Thank you
    Vijay

    It's still not clear to me if you need two db tables in a query, or a transaction.
    If this is the case, your best option (to my knowledge) is to use a db link. in this way, you only need to access (for example the oracle db) and can access the objects from the other data from the oracle database.
    I don't understand

    (3) a model project with a meeting of the two datasource. I selected a data source and created OT and VO. When I have selected a different data source and select tables to create VO and EO and finished but these EO and VO is displayed in project. >

  • Developer SQL, SQL Server and the ampersand

    Hello

    I am connected to a SQL Server database (2008) and has difficulties to get a query runs correctly in SQL Developer (3.1.07).

    Simplified example

    Select table_field
    table
    where table_field <>'This & That ';

    Expected results

    table_field
    Other stuff
    Other stuff
    Other stuff

    Actual results

    table_field
    Other stuff
    This & That
    This & That
    ....


    I can't get SQL Developer to recognize as a literal ampersand &. I tried it out in many ways, but he still thinks it's a variable.

    The query works exactly as expected in MS SQL Management Studio and Toad. Of course, I can just run it in one of these, but I would try to get this working with SQL Developer. Suggestions?

    Please let me know if I can provide further information. Thank you.

    SQL worksheet to developers is designed for Oracle, but we allow you to execute instructions SQL Server and other databases Oracle not.
    This can lead to some quirks, such as the one you met.

    Oracle SQL * Plus uses and commercial for define substitution variables.
    Oracle SQL Developer has implemented the same concept.
    Unfortunately there is no sense when something is running on an Oracle database no.

    To work around the problem, you can run the following SQL * Plus command in SQL Developer, before your query SQL Server.
