[SRM 4.1] Dealing with local data warehouses?

Hello

I'm currently loaded with SRM 4.1 installation on our companys vsphere and while I did this before that I have never worked with VM on local data warehouses. There are three additional centers for both, I'll be tipping. These three data centers all run on Cisco UCS 210 M2 servers spread across two data stores. The virtual machine can be found on the second partition of the UCS VMFS.

I don't know why it was created this way that I wasn't there when it was put into service (it seems strange, though, as they have a shedload of space on the Symmetrix). So I ask really (a person with a more experienced eye), what are the options for local data warehouses with MRS? I'm guessing limited to no support... so think I might watch svMotion

Thanks for any advice.

Hello

With MRS. 4.1, the only option is based on the Bay of replication, i.e. SRM is only able to protect virtual machines residing on storage arrays supported with replication configured between them. SRM itself does not perform the replication. SRM is able to display your replica equipment and perform a few operations on the Bay of storage through the SRA (storage replication adapter) - software written by the storage provider.

Yes, unless you use a storage device which can present these local data warehouses such as those shared and replicate them on the (and is supported with SRM), you cannot use local data warehouses. I have a limited knowledge of such things, maybe the other guys will be able to help more.

In SRM 5 extra option has been introduced - vSphere replication, which allows the replication of virtual machines between ESXi hosts. You will need vcenter / SRM and ESXi 5 for this to work.

I do not understand your configuration. How many centres of data do you have? SRM only supports the scenarios one to one, and many-to-one.

  • Error blackBerry software - synchronization failed, impossible to deal with organizing data

    I had a Q10 Blackberry last week.  I downloaded and installed the PC of Blackberry link 1.2.2.13 version.  Two-way sync USB worked fine.  Now, all of a sudden, I get the error message "synchronization failed, impossible to deal with organizing data."   I tried to reset the synchronization options, but not joy.  Also tried to uninstall and reinstall the software Link 1.2.2.13, once again no joy.  Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I spent 4 hours on the phone and the remote session with the help of Blackberry last night.  After doing some troubleshooting to isolate the problem, determined that something on the device caused the problem of Outlook synchronization. One thing I've learned, it's that it can take a long time to synchronize and even though the progress of the screen may appear frozen, let it go until the end - sometimes it took 20-25 minutes, but eventually completed. Here's the process we went through - I would recommend appellant help BB and work with them to make sure you have not accidentally delete Outlook contacts and calendar of important information of your PC or BB device!.

    (1) we tried an uninstall/reinstall the PC Link BB software and that did not fix the problem.

    (2) to isolate the problem of synchronization.  We first did a synchronization of 2 channels 'contacts' and 'calendar' and who was a failure.  Then did a synchronization of only 2 channels 'contacts' and managed.  Then did a synchronization of only 2-way 'calendar' and that was a failure - so the problem was linked to calendar data and something on the device has been the cause of the problem or corrupted.

    (3) link BB allowing us to make a backup complete unit.

    4) then decided to do a 'Wipe security' on the device of BB Q10 to erase all the data and settings and return to a clean boot device configuration.  I was nervous about it - make double sure that Outlook all contacts and calendar data on the device and the PC are completely backed up in case something bad happens.  Nothing serious happened, but I was gald, we made the backup!

    (5) has the 'Security Wipe' feature (on the device, the settings > Security and privacy > wipe security) and phone rebooted without problems (takes a while to do).

    (6) then used link BB to do a sync test 1 channel 'contacts and calendar' from PC to device.  It worked without problem.

    (7) we then used BB link do a "restore" full backup of device, as we did in step 3 above.  It takes a while to make and was a success.

    (8) once the restoration of the aircraft was complete, BB link configured to perform a synchronization of 2 channels of the two 'contacts' and 'calendar '.  Does the synchronization and was a success.  Did a test by adding the new entry of the calendar on PC and did another 2-way sync - all worked very well.  Seems that the problem has been corrected, but will follow in the coming days.

    Lessons learned:

    (1) If you have a lot of Outlook contacts and calendar entries, the synchronization may take a long time.  Be patient and let it run - even if it seems stuck, etc!

    (2) save all Outlook data on the device and the PC to make sure that you have a backup something bad happened during troubleshooting.  We had not something bad happens, but I was gald we made a backup anyway.

    (2) call BB help - support person, I worked with was fabulous, even if it took some time to work through a patch.

     

  • hide local data warehouses in vCenter

    I'm trying to understand how hide us local data warehouses appear in Vsphere 5.5 I find it looks like permissions.  How do you go in permissions for all the local data store

    Thank you

    Hello

    In order to hide this data store using permissions, you must do the following:

    Open-> inventory-> warehouses VSphere-> select the select data-> permissions VMFS store-> click the user or group in the list and set them to 'No access' - are not propagated. We want it to take effect only on this data store.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Rename local data warehouses of ESXi host

    Hello

    How to rename local data warehouses of 5.0 ESXi hosts.

    Is it simple; Vsphere Client > right click on the local data store > rename?

    Or host must be in maintenance, or reduced, something like that?

    Thank you

    Mihir

    The ESXi host internally uses the data UUID store rather than its "friendly" name

    Example: / vmfs/volumes/3dfd1a21-63969d0d-8d9b-004328272635 /.

    That is why - as mentioned in the other responses - rename a datstore can be done at any time without affecting the functionality.

  • ESXi with two data warehouses

    Hello

    I created an ESXi server with 2 data warehouses (2 logical drives). on the logic reader1 esxi is installed, and datastore1 is located. in this datastore1 all evnironments tests are recorded. on the second locial drive2 datastore2 is registered. There are all produvtive stored systems.

    When I added the second esxi data store it says that all existing data on the logical drive will be removed. No OK no problem right now.

    now logic disk1 ranout (datastore1) of space (50 GB hard drive). So I decided to replace it with a new hard drive with a lot more capacity. During the procedure to install esxi on the new drive hard I won't lose all data on logical disk1 and datastore1. but again not problem - test only environments (2 machines) it.

    But if I add my second drive to esxi - will I lose all the data on it too? or is there a workaround for just add to esxi without losing all my data?

    Thanks for help.

  • regexp: how to deal with different date formats?

    the date comes as varchar2 with '-'and':' as separators for day part and part time respectively. but it may come with different formats such as

    1993-5-7-13:4:2

    and so on. date of final format should be ' YYYY-MM-DD HH24-SS'. is it possible to have an intelligent way to deal with different formats of date with separators above and convert the final using regexp format, so that it is compact and universal as possible with assumptions/examples above?

    Thank you

    As others have said, the smartest way is to keep your input in a format method and store your data in a date column.
    But is a simple way to deal with this mess, without regexp,

    with test as (
    select '1993-05-17' d from dual

  • Dealing with the Dates 2

    Hi guys,.

    I'm not a regular developer, I met always hedges when dealing with dates.

    I have a timestamp column, called 'Calling_date' which stores values as this "24 July 12 AM 05.30.00.000000".

    My report must show the data in this column as "YY-MM-DD hh: mi". I tried two methods but none worked.

    Why not use TO_CHAR() ?

    Date and timestamp formats are BINARY formats. Is not a screen formats.

    This means that we MUST convert that binary in a human readable format. TO_CHAR() allows exactly that - convert to a format readable by humans and which allows you to specify exactly what that format is.

    Thank you

    You probably only have local data warehouses, which are not that HA would require for this feature (pulsations datastore) to work properly.

    You will need either 2 iSCSI, FC 2 or 2 NFS volumes... Or a combination of the any of them, for this feature to work. If you don't want to use this feature, you can also turn it off:

  • RS 4 and NFS data warehouses

    When I set up the table through vCentre Customer Manager in the MRS Plugin I get the following message when scanning for NFS data storage

    "Replicated devices could not be matched with inventory data warehouses."

    We have a 4.01 vSphere server with ESX 3.5u4 hosts.

    SRM 4.0 is deadlocked.

    Our storage is on IBM Nseries N5600 reporting using DataOntap 7.2.5.1.

    Someone at - it never experianced this problem and if so how to fix it.

    Thank you

    Mahmood

    I used this SRA without any problems, so I suspect that something is wrong with your replicated configuration of NFS export.

    To help further, I would need to see the SRM journal from the site server protected SRM immediately after seeing this message. You can download that on this subject?

    I also suggest that you connect a SR with VMware support, because they can help here as well.

  • Keep two very large synchronized data warehouses

    I look at the options to keep a very large (potentially 400GO) datastore TimesTen (11.2.2.5) in sync between a Production Server and [sleep].

    The replication was abandoned because it does not support compressed tables, or table types creates our closed code (without PKs not null) application

    1. I did some tests with smaller data warehouses for the indicative figures, and a store of 7.4 GB data (according to dssize) has resulted in a set of 35 GB of backup (using ttBackup - type fileIncrOrFull). This surge in volume should, and would it extrapolate to a 400 GB data store (2 TB backup set?)?
    2. I have seen that there are incremental backups, but to keep our watch as hot, we will restore these backups and what I had read and tested only a ttDestroy/ttRestore is possible, that is full restoration of the full DSN every time, which takes time. Am I missing a smarter way to do this?
    3. Y at - it other than our request to keep two data warehouses in the construction phase, all other tricks we can use to effectively keep the two synchronized data stores?
    4. Random last question - I see "datastore" and "database" (and to a certain extent, "DSN") apparently interchangeable - are they the same thing in TimesTen?

    Update: the 35 GB compress down with 7za to slightly more than 2.2 GB, but takes 5.5 hours to do this. If I take a fileFull stand-alone, it is only 7.4 GB on the disc and ends faster too.

    Thank you

    It must be a system of Exalytics, right? I ask this question because compressed tables are not allowed for use outside of a system of Exalytics...

    As you note, currently the replication is not possible in an Exalytics environment, but that is likely to change in the future and then he will certainly be the preferred mechanism for this. There is not really of another viable way to proceed otherwise than through the application.

    With regard to your questions:

    1. a backup consists mainly of file of the most recent checkpoint, more all the files/folders that are newer than this file logs. Thus, to reduce the size of a backup complete ensure

    that a checkpoint occurs (e.g. "call ttCkpt" a ttIsql session) just before starting the backup.

    2. No, only the restore is possible from an incremental backup set. Also note that due to the large amount of rollforward needed, restore a large incremental backup set can take quite a long time. Backup and restore are not really intended for this purpose.

    3. If you are unable to use replication, then a sort of application-level synchronization is your only option.

    4 data store and data mean the same thing - a physical TimesTen database. We prefer the database of the expression of our days; data store is a legacy term. A DSN is something different (Data Source Name) and should not be swapped with the data/database store. A DSN is a logical entity that defines the attributes of a database and how to connect. It is not the same as a database.

  • List of virtual machines in data warehouses

    Hi all

    I want to list all virtual machines in warehouses of data starting with "MDF".  I tried

    Get - VM - Datastore (Get-Datastore-name MDF *) | Select-object - property name, data store > VMplusdatastore.txt

    But it does not list the names of data store for a reason any?

    Also some VM will have records on more than a logic unit number - I suppose that it is not translated here?

    Wouldn't be better to do the opposite?

    Hi Simon,.

    the problem with your script is that the virtual computer object does not have a property data store. That is why the data column store is empty in the output. The following script will combine virtual machine names and the data store for all with names beginning with MDF data warehouses:

    Get-Datastore -Name MDF* | ForEach-Object {
      $Datastore = $_
      $Datastore | Get-VM | ForEach-Object {
        $Report = "" | Select-Object -property Name, Datastore
        $Report.Name = $_.Name
        $Report.Datastore = $Datastore.name
        $Report
      }
    } > VMplusdatastore.txt
    

    If a virtual machine disks on multiple data stores, it will display all the combinations.

  • Upgrade question for data warehouses - want a confirmation

    I have read in the upgrade guide and think I have the answer, but would like a confirmation e-mail.

    It's my current scenario:

    Three ESX 3.5 update 3 guests share a single fibre channel LUN and two iSCSI LUNS. The LUNS are all VMFS3 format.

    vCenter 4.0. (It was just upgraded from 2.5 to 4.0 today)

    I would add a fourth server from vSphere ESX 4.0 in the data center. I would like for this server to be able to share the same LUN VMFS3 as other ESX 3.5 hosts. Then I will move the VM from 3.5 servers to the servers of 4.0 one at a time, the upgrade of the VMTools on the virtual machine I. When I get enough VM on one of the servers of 3.5, I can pass this host to 4.0, and then keep the VM off the coast of 3.5 moving slowly until they are all on 4.0 hosts and guests 3.5 have been upgraded to 4.0.

    I want to confirm is that I can add a shared LUN of VMFS3 existing to the new host of 4.0 without the host 4.0 formatting or otherwise destroy the VMFS3 data store and the VM 75 who live on that.

    Looking at page 10 of the guide to upgrade, it says "no VMFS upgrade is required if you are upgrading an ESX3.x with VMFS3 data warehouses, then I guess it's ok. I guess that I didn't know, what if I shared a LUN exist with a new server, ESX4, whatever this scenario changes?

    Thanks for your help.

    I want to confirm is that I can add a shared LUN of VMFS3 existing to the new host without the host 4.0 4.0 formatting

    That's right, what ESX 4.0 is non-destructive, unless you explicitly tell it to erase / format partitions.

    If I shared a LUN with a new server, ESX4, change something about this scenario?

    I don't know exactly, but ESX version 3.21 of VMFS, 3.03 3.02 introduced 3.31 VMFS.  ESX 4.0 is as 3.41 (I THINK), but it does not matter they are ALL compatible, these are revisions minor and no need to reformat.

  • Size of the virtual machines on the local data store

    What is the best way to determne the (total) disk space using a virtual machine? We have several virtual machines on local data warehouses and would like to estimate roughly how much disk space to the total number of virtual machines use to caculate how much storage SAN, they will consume. Is there an 'easy' way to socket this information?

    The most accurate way would be to calculate the total space used by the virtual machine files in the data store.

    Connect to the service console

    Navigate to the vmfs volume

    Navigate to the vm folder

    -h.

    This will give you files for this particular virtual machine related to the amount of disk space used by all the vm
