  Is this possible using Oracle CRS without going to the OS like GPFS cluster

  Oracle Grid these days use ASM starts for vote and register files storage. So no need for a cooked cluster file system that must be mounted by all nodes. No need either directly with a gross storage logical unit number.

  ASM uses the LUN of the matrix of storage/SAN directly (as devices of rough blocks).

  Generally however, there are several I/O paths to that LUN on the SAN - in which case there is more than 1 device level o/s for this LUN. Multipath driver s/w addresses this and creates a logical (and redundant) device that sits at the top of several devices of i/o path to the level of the o/s.

  You configure ASM to use devices of paths multiples (as devices of rough blocks) - and applying exterrnal, normal or high redundancy necessary when creating starts on these logical multipath devices.

  The grid s/w and RAC database instances can then use ASM starts as cluster storage.

  This makes storage much easier layer management - and also provide a number of useful features too.

  This is also the approach recommended by Oracle Corp. for RAC - use ASM under the layer of management of storage between storage LUNS in the table and one side and CARS on the other.

• VMware SRM with ibm midsize V3700

  Hello

  I need to deploy MIS Program with ibm midsize V3700. I have to use storage replication (table). There is a feature called mirrored that allowed this replication on the remote storage. But vmware Web site I've not seen corresponding SRA. have someone deployed this kind of config? What SRA can I use?

  I thank in advance

• IBM midsize v7000, VAAI and storage plugin

  I'm trying to understand what kind of support does the IBM midsize v7000 to NOTTM.

  It seems that only the primitive VAAI 'zero block' is supported, but it requires the vmw_vaaip_t10 plugin to do this.

  Apparently, even though I am familiar with storage and vmware I never need to use a plugin for different than default storage, even if I saw it several times when I change the path failover strategy I have never studied on how to change it.

  Can someone confirm my conclusions on IBM midsize v7000?

  If they are correct, do you know if supporting the other two primitives of VAAI in the roadmap?

  Can someone tell how can I change the plugin to mw_vaaip_t10 and if and how this has effects on the strategy of path failover?

  Thank you in advance.

  Primitive VAAI 'Reduction to zero of the blocks' is supported with vmw_vaaip_t10 plugin.

  I have no idea of the roadmap VAAI

  To configure NOTTM for IBM statements using the VMW_VAAI_T10 plug-in, use the following sequence of commands:
  # esxcli corestorage claimrule add - claimrule-class = filter - plugin = VAAI_FILTER - type = vendor - seller = IBM - autoassign
  # esxcli corestorage claimrule add - claimrule-class = VAAI - plugin = VMW_VAAI_T10 - type = vendor - seller = IBM - autoassign
  # esxcli corestorage claimrule - claimrule-load class = filter
  # esxcli corestorage claimrule - claimrule-class of load = VAAI
  # esxcli corestorage claimrule run - claimrule-class = filter

  This is not an effect on the path failover policy.

  Do it me know that responds to your request or you need more information?

  I solved this problem.

  The problem was MRS. Server intalled on the regional settings of Windows Server 2008 R2.

  My locale of the server was Turkish, when I install MRS I changed to English and installed.

  Finally, I reinstall Windows Server 2008 R2 full English for the United States settings after installed SRM.

  It has been worked.

• How to add additional sas drive to an existing IBM midsize V3700 and do like being active in all hosts with vcenter server devices

  Hello team,

  In our infra we have 8 node of the flex IBM x 240 and 1 IBM midsize V3700 host as storage device. In this 19 storage hard drives busy with 600 GB 10 k 6 GB SAS drive and 5 locations are still, that storage is divided into 2 for test and Production. Now we expect for resizing the activity so that we plan to add more 5 hdd storage, can someone guide me how do it properly without any problem.  If I add the HARD drive storage how to initialize and map to the existng storage. If someone has done this before please guide me to continue.

  What you have to do is create a new disk (mdisk) group and add to your existing (mdiskgrp), to make task record the following:

  1. click on internal disks and then bind o pools:

  

  2. click on configure storage:

  

  3. on the storage configuration wizard, you can select use recommended Configuration or select a Configuration different, but the most important is to select your existing disk group RAID level:

  

  4. then select the Expand existing Pool:

  

  Once the capacity of the new disk has been added to your existing pool, you can create new volumes to expand your existing volumes (LUNS UAT or logic of PRODUCTION unit number).

  Let me know if you need additional assistance.

• SRM with SAS connections

  Hello

  I'll make a proposal for a DC & DR site with vcenter Site Recovery manager. We use the IBM DS3524 (the 7.84.44.00 firmware version) storage with SAS connections to hosts. VMware said THAT MRS is only supported with ISCSI and Fibre channel. So can I do replication SRM with SAS connections. Please update me as soon as possible the guy.

  Thank you

  It's a thought, and it could possibly fly.  Another option would be to look at Zerto.

• Compatibility / certification of e-mail (MGW) with IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0.0 Gateway

  Hi all:

  I'm looking for compatibility / information on the certification of database Oracle 11 g and 12 g Messaging Gateway with IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0.0.

  The only information I have found so far is in Doc 219410.1 ("What platforms and Versions of Oracle is the available Oracle e-mail gateway?"), where it is said:

  MGW v9.2 and 10g is certified with IBM WebSphere MQ (formerly MQSeries) v5.2, v5.3, and V6 in accordance with the following table.

  MGW 11.1.0.7 and 11.2.0.2 is certified with IBM WebSphere MQ V6 and Websphere MQ V7.0.1.

  But I can't find all the information related to Websphere MQ V8.0.0 or on the compatibility of version 12.1. Do you know where I can find it?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I had already looked at in this document, but there is no information on MQ 8.0.0 or certification with Oracle Database 12 c. I opened a SR asking about it and they confirmed that the latest version which is currently certified is 7.0.1, but MQ 8.0.0 might work as well.

  We test MQ with 11.2 release 8.0.0 and it works well so far, so maybe that oracle certify it with 12 c...

• Replicate the VMS with FTP and VM with virtual disk shared by: SRM with vSphre replication

  I have a VM and FT is configured on it. Now I can reproduce the virtual machine with SRM with replication of vSphere. I have not configured array based replication. Similarly, I have two DB VMs cluster, but they share a virtual disk between them. Can I replicate these VMs DB with vSphere replication?

  Your valuable contribution is much appreciated.

  I got the answer, for the virtual machine with FT and shared virtual disk replication, to do SRM with array based replication. vSphere replication cannot replicate virtual machine with FT or shared disk.

• SRM with two HP Lefthand P4500 Iscsi SAN

  I'm in the middle of SRM with two HP Lefthand P4500 and I have a few questions. I will award points to the answers.  I need to build the site of the DR at the main location because the MPLS between HQ and the Dominican Republic will not be ready for a month or two.  (1) can I build on Esxi hosts, DR SAN and configure SRM on the HQ site or should I wait for the SPLM is connected between the two sites? (2) the customer plans to use an MPLS of 10 Mbps between sites; is it a big enough to tip of VLAN stretched between sites? (3) what is the best far from approaching my situation?  Finally there is someone out there who has installed SRM between two HP LH the's 4500 that can give some advice?

  I have SRM with P4500 LH installation.
  It is quite simple and a good start would be books Mike Lavericks SRM, because they have step by step guides to configure the NHL P4500 with MRS.

  I use VLAN stretched if you can get it, because it will save a lot of hassle in the recovery of your infrastructure.

  If you have any questions you can DM me.

• SRM with virtual disks not replicated RDM Recovery Plan.

  We try to do a test of SRM with a Virtual Machine that has disks Virutal RDM attached, however these volumes are not replicated with RecoverPoint, they exist already on the side of DR, so basically we're already reproducing machine virtual and it's virtual disks, but these 3 RDM are outside it.  The reason for this is because they have massive volumes that had previously been replicated using another product before virtualize us and there is no need to replicate this info again because the volumes are never going to change.

  
  Then...

  It is done within the SRM, when you look at tab groups protection, we see a warning "not configured VMs: 1" because SRM / RecoverPoint believe that this virtual machine has volumes that are not replicated.

  Is there any way to exclude this or saying SRM to ignore what we will manually add the RDM on the DR side ourselves?  Also on the side of DR, I don't see the VM under hosts and Clusters as I see the replication of other virtual machines, it is because MRS. think he isn't entirely reproduced?  Or is it a manual step where you need to create a virtual machine on the side of the DR and to disable this option in order to see it?  Also, we see what VM listed on the virtual computers tab for this group of special protection, but the other two VMs residing on the sam MON appear and I already tested successfully the two machines.

  Here are the settings in the file for the RDM .vmx

  Hello

  You do not see the DR VM (usually it's called shadow or the space reserved VM), because currently the VM is not protected by SRM. You can't manually create.

  What you can do is run the Wizard "To configure Protection" for your virtual machine. One of the steps, "storage options" or something like this, allows you to select specific disks and mark as detached, allowing you to protect the computer with disks not replicated virtual.

• SRM with different DELL/EMC CLARiiON systems

  I have a client who currently owns a Dell Clariion CX300. They seek to replace it with a CX4-120 and would send the CX300 to an offsite location for use as a solution using MRS. DR.

  According to my research, I believe that this solution is possible using EMC RecoverPoint/SE to mirror, both on an IP network, but what is not clear is if I need is more SnapView and MirrorView (I don't think I do)
