• The network infrastructure for a stand-alone server or a Cluster Network Infrastructure?

  Hello

  I want to install a single instance database and I want to use ASM.

  My setup is now just one node but in the future probably it evolve on several nodes.

  So, can I use the Network Infrastructure for a Cluster to a single node, or I have to use a stand-alone server network infrastructure?

  Concerning

  If you later plan ro use more than one server to install the cluster network infrastructure. It is possible to install on a server.

• Creating a stand-alone DB in a RAC node

  Hello

  Yes. I recommend you use DBCA to create a database.
  Start DBCA on node where the database will be created, and then choose the option "Single Oracle Database Instance". I have no course if the database is automatically added on rock, but I think so. (pretty obvious)

  If you created the database manually (IE without DBCA) then you must add the OCR database using "srvctl.

  $ srvctl add database -d   -o  -c    -x    -p  
  
  Where:
      -d       Unique name for the database
      -o          ORACLE_HOME path
      -c                 Type of database: RAC One Node, RAC, or Single Instance
      -x            Node name. -x option is specified for single-instance databases
      -p               Server parameter file path

  What is ESXi system managed (for example with a non-free full license) by your vCenter?  If this isn't the case, then you can not make a gesture like this.  You can probably fake it with enough script and help of some external tools to make disk copy.

• Moving the computer a stand-alone ESXi host to vCenter virtual

  Guys,

  We have 2 VMware environment in the work.

  A production environment which consists of four hosts ESXi 4.1 managed by vCenter 4.1 with Enterprise license.

  We have a host of ESXi 4.1 stand alone with the standard free license.

  I have a Windows XP VM on the test area.  I need to make a model of the virtual machine, and then to deploy a few new VM from him.  Now, this is where the problem.  I want to do all this but having the VM running on the test area.  Of course these features are not included in the free ESXi license.

  However, I think that I could download the VMDK files in the test area, import them into vCenter and then make a model in there.  I could deploy VM from the model power vCenter them down, download VMDK files and then download on the test area.

  I'm pretty sure it's possible, but I want to just make sure.

  Thank you

  It should work. Assuming that the free host doesn't have its VM on shared storage that is also accessible on the production cluster, you can export the virtual machine to the FVO and import it in vCenter.

• vpxuser on stand-alone ESXi

  Hello.

  I always thought that vpxuser is created on ESXi during the process of attaching to vCenter. Hoewever I figured out that this account exists on ESXi, even if the host is not managed by vCenter and has never been (I don't know where I read the news that vpxuser exists only if the host is managed by vC, there is no such info here vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre). So my question is: what vpxuser need for in the case of standalone ESXi? And could change its permissions or password affect somehow the stand-alone host?

  I can't tell you the reason why, but with the last ESXi versions (including 6.0) vpxuser is a predefined on the host computer and not only created with the addition of vCenter Server as in the older versions of the host. The latest documentation (assignment of permissions for ESXi) includes this design change.

• Don't ' option UPGRADE available after failure ESXi 6.0 on a stand-alone host installation

  Dear all, I have a stand-alone host ESXi 5.0 that I tried to install 6.0 on. Installation failed due to missing NIC card r8168 drivers. in any case, I've created a new ISO using ESXi Customizer utility and ready to do it again once the installation of the new ISO standard. The problem now is that there is no 'upgrade' option available when I try to update, I get only the options 'Install' which will eliminate the existing configs etc completely. In summary: the host is still working fine and no problem with it. The issue is that ESXi 6.0 Installer based no existing ESXi installation on the host computer and suggest an installation instead of an upgrade option, what happened after a few failed attempts to run the upgrade. I found this page on this forum https://communities.vmware.com/thread/445526?start=0 & tstart = 0 that says that the solution is to move the directory to a local.tgz (in altbootbank/state.xxxxx/) more high. I don't have any idea how to do this. Appreciate any help on which program use and what commands to run in order to ensure that the old installation is reviewed by the ESXi 6.0 installation program. Thanks, Abid

  I managed to PASS my from5.0 host existing 6.0. To solve the problem, I had, I started the ESXi, authenticated and then checked the contents of the directories shell both Bootbank that Altbootbank by using the ls command. Altbootbank was empty. Then I copied all the files from /bootbank to /altbootbank using the cp command and then I could see the 'upgrade' again option for which I had posted this question. Installation was simple using the custom profile that I created using ESXI Customizer. Thanks for your help anyway, I'll close this issue now. Best regards, Abid

  Is it possible to execute all statement (email alerts) on a stand-alone ESXi 5 hosts?

  I have a client with multiple virtual machines running on a single host ESXi 5 and you need to know, especially if the host fails, or possibly if resources are stretched.

  Is there anything that is integrated to respond to reports or is the only option to use vCenter?

  Unfortunately, these features are offered for vCenter. You can search any 3rd party tool which offer these features.

• Patching stand-alone hosts ESXi 4.1

  I need assistance with patch 4.1 ESXi stand-alone hosts.  Is it possible to stage patches?  They can be downloaded and copied ot the host first?  I have to do it via a WAN connection and want to copy the patches before correction of the host. I need also some of the commands necessary to achieve this.  I'm not very good with the command/syntax of command line.  Any help is greatly apprecieated.

  You can stage patches if you are using vCenter Update Manager.  If you do not use vCenter you could

  (1) copy the patch into a local data store on the host

  (2) run the following cmdlet to PowerCLI - install -VMHostPatch -HostPath vmfs/volumes //.

• 11g Question: Stand alone database vs single node cluster

  We are about to create a new 11.2.0.3 database that will eventually become a 11.2.0.3 in cluster database. Our host servers are hardware IBM pSeries AIX 6.1 running. We will use just Oracle Clusterware and not IBM HACMP. We also plan to use ASM for database storage. The plan is ultimately to have a 2 or a 3-node cluster, but currently, we have only an AIX server available to us.
  
  My question concerns our initial approach to the installation.
  
  It is preferable to install the Oracle database as a stand-alone database first and then convert the database to a RAC cluster as soon as we have the material for the second node? Or would it be better to create the cluster with a single node and install and configure grid Clusterware for a single node cluster and then add the second node when the material becomes available?
  
  I apologize if my explanation is not very clear. Any notice will be considered and appreciated. Thank you.

  If you are planning to ACTIVE/PASSIVE here database my option:
  {message: id = 10138477}

  If you are planning in the future use a RAC database:
  {message: id = 10142640}

  If you plan use CARS in the future, you can install Oracle Clusterware without worry about licenses.
  Oracle Clusterware can serve to protect any application (reboot or otherwise on the application failure), free of charge, if one or more of the following conditions are met:
  

• At least one of the servers in the cluster is allowed for the Oracle database (SE or EE)
  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/license.112/e10594/editions.htm#CJAHFHBJ

  If you ARE database Oracle or EA (i.e., not one SE), you can install the product Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC (EE to buy the RAC Option) in a node later you can stretch clusterware adding additional nodes, and more database instance.

  You do not need to create a RAC database, you can create a single database (i.e. Non-RAC) on OH software Oracle RAC using DBCA.

  Although I prefer that you create a database of CAR Policy-Managed database... which makes the dynamics and the automatic (i.e. managed by Clusterware) creation/deletion of instances. You will use a POOL with a knot... later you can add more nodes in that POOL... Oracle Clusterware/PAP automatically create undo/redo/instances on the new nodes added to this POOL.
  All this is transparent to your customers of Oracle.

  Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a stand-alone server (Oracle Restart) is an option only if you plan used to one node. If you are using more than one node... Start with Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster (Oracle Clusterware).

  Hope this helps,

• Deploying vSphere model W2K12R2 on the stand-alone ESXi5.5 Server

  We have vSphere 5.5 to 6 ESXi servers in a cluster and windows 2012R2 model to deploy virtual machines

  I'll add another server ESXi in vSphere, but won't be in the vSphere cluster. We're going to use this server for 4 VM

  How can I deploy the template on this server 'stand-alone '?

  Can I copy the template to this server, register and deploy virtual machines.

  Or can I create an OVF file?

  Thank you

  It doesn't matter if this host joins the cluster or remains outside the cluster, as long as it's part of your vCenter inventory.

  You can deploy virtual machines of your models that exist in your vCenter inventory. No need to export these as the OVF.

  But Yes if this fourth host you have in place will not join the vCenter inventory you need your vCenter templates to export OVF models so they can be used to deploy virtual machines to your hosts of stand-alone esxi (not managed by vCenter).

• Export security settings local to a stand-alone Windows 2008 server in html format

  Can I know how much is possible to export the local security settings (including local policies, event log, models of administration) to a stand-alone Windows 2008 Server to a single file (for example, html or txt)?

  I know that "gpresult" can do, but it works only on member servers. Can we capture output similar to a server that is not joined to the domain?

  Thanks in advance.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site (for consumers) and to be sure, you get the best (and fastest) reply, we have to ask either on Technet (for IT Pro) or MSDN (for developers)

  2   , do one of the following:

  ·         If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

  ·         If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

  3. in the display Advanced Startup Options , use the arrow keys to select the option of safe mode you want and press ENTER. For more information about the options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode).

  4 log your computer with a user account with administrator rights.

  Install the prerequisite updates before applying a new update that is installed sp 1 for a successful installation sp 2.
