• Consolidation of support for Windows Server 2008

  In the statement of support for vSphere for Server 2008 clustering, he mentions that the two nodes of 2008 should not belong to a cluster HA/DRS.  We currently have our cluster designed to accommodate all guests (HA/DRS active) in the data center.  Excluding the HA/DRS features for VMs individual cluster node, will support us?

  TIA

  -Rick

  The documentation is that if you have virtual machines in a cluster HA/DRS then you don't are not supported.  You will need to disable these functions on the entire cluster for real assistance.  That said, I have this configuration and have been able to call VMware to support without problem.  This does not mean that you will have the same experience, but my guess is that they would support you if necessary.

  You can also see fault-tolerant VMware (FT), but you must understand the differences between MSCS and FT.  If you're upgrading clustering an application such as Exchange, I wouldn't use FT and would use rather MSCS.  Everything depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what fits best. Also remember that FT does not provide protection at the hardware level, so a lack of application level would be replicated on two virtual machines.

• No support for oracle sql functions

  Hi all
  
  Please can someone explain why the B-tree indexes are not capable of supporting SQL queries using the built-in functions of Oracle.
  
  We have indexes of tree b on account_no column.
  
  Select * from test_table where account_no = 11005208
  
  the above query use the index on account_no
  
  Select * from test_table where superior (account_no) = 11005208
  
  But this query does not use the index on the account_no, going for the full table scan.
  
  My question here is account_no is the numeric data type.
  Then, there is no difference between the data in the columns account_no and upper (account_no) column data, so why he does not use index when using sql functions in an sql query?

  Hello

  If you apply the upper function, Oracle implicitly converts its argument to a string, so your query is actually upper (to_char (account_no)).
  There is none HAVE fully functional in the optimizer and you do not expect to know everything and do all the conclusions that a human being can do. Why should Oracle re - write this type of query analysis the data type of the columns and features when it seems more natural programmer write a correct query (without capital letters in this example) or, if necessary, create an index based on a function?

• SQL logical support for pl/sql block

  Hi all
  I have need of your suggestions and comments for the below question:
  
  I have two tables: table A and table b.
  
  Table has two columns as id and charges:
  
  Counties of ID
  -------------------------
  99 10
  13 999
  9999 7
  
  Table B has two columns Id and stopped:
  
  Order of identification
  _______________
  99 1
  2 999
  3 9999
  
  
  We need update of the order in the Table B such that Id with the highest number in table A stopped as 1 in the table B and it continue to increase enforcement for other Ids based on reducing the counts in table A. It will be like a job serving daily and search counts in table A and update the order in table B, according to her.
  It seems simple, but I don't get it. Please help me on this by writing a PL/SQL block.
  I'd really appreciate all your comments and your responses.

  Hello

  Here's a way to do it:

  MERGE INTO     stat     dst
  USING (
       SELECT       s.id
       ,       ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( ORDER BY SUM (m.counts)
                                      DESC
                                NULLS LAST
                           )     AS orders
       FROM             stat     s
       LEFT OUTER JOIN  main     m  ON  s.id  = m.id
       GROUP BY  s.id
        )               src
  ON     (src.id     = dst.id)
  WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE
  SET     dst.orders     = src.orders
  ;
  

  As you can see, it is similar to the solution to your original problem.
  In the original problem, id in the table (primary) source was unique; now, it is not, and we are interested in the SUM of all values of counts, so we can use GROUP BY and the SUM aggregate function. When used in the same query, aggregation (such as the SUM above) functions are calculated before analytical functions (for example, ROW_NUMBER), so the aggregate functions can be nested within analytical functions.
  The big change is that now the subquery source produces a line for each stat line, or not this ID exists in the hand, and he ignores any ID at hand which does not exist in stat, using an outer join. "stat LEFT OUTER JOIN main" means that all ranks of stat will appear in the results, even if there is no game in hand, but the bottom lines will be in the results only if they have a match in the stat.
  ROW_NUMBER assigns unique, coinsectuive whole, exactly as you requested. If there is a tie (two or more ID having exactly the same SUM (account)) then ROW_NUMBER will assign numbers separate, consecutive lines. It will be arbitrary in what id receives the lower number.

• W520 - Support for Windows Server 2008 R2

  Hi all

  Is there a statement of official support from Lenovo to Win2008 R2 running on the W520? I had a lot of problems to operate correctly on the W500 and don't want to fall into this trap...

  Kind regards

  Baris

  I was able to install without problems until I returned my W520. The only thing that didn't work was the bluetooth.

• Great migrations: move from vCenter 5.1 on Windows 2008R2/SQL 2008 5.1 or 5.5 on 2012 2012 Windows/SQL

  In anticipation of the end of mainstream support for Windows Server 2008 R2, I want to migrate an installation vCenter to a whole new server and MS SQL Server.

  It is a virtual machine running in my host cluster. There Server vCenter Update Manager, Converter Standalone and some services not VMware that I can handle it myself. ADAM is installed as part of the vCenter Server requirements, and it is also attached to an AD domain where I use AD, single sign - on.

  The host cluster is four 5.1 ESXi hosts that are up to date, and helped HA and DRS. They use also switches distributed to all of their network connectivity, including vMotion, management, fault tolerance (although I do not use FT) and virtual machines.

  I did upgrades on-site to vCenter before and I replaced SQL Express with SQL Standard on the same server, but I did not move before vCenter. I'd make some drastic measures, as I understand:

  * Complete backups (of course) of SQL in the server itself, ADAM

  Installation of a new server operating system and SQL 2012

  Withdrawal of databases and reinstall them on the new server

  * Restoration of ADAM on the new server

  Installation vCenter, Update Manager, etc.

  * Hoping the host cluster is mounted on the new server, and nothing breaks

  I'm not all that worried about maintaining statistics, so maybe it is possible to install a new server vCenter Server and simply move the host cluster from the old server to the new. I moved one vCenter to another host, but that was before I put in place of distributed switching.
  --

  I found this on a related post:

  Migration in a new vCenter VMware environment. IT diversifies

  This manual seems to echo what I've read so far, I had to disassemble the distributed switches until I can migrate any host to a new server vCenter. Yuck. Well, I've migrated from the standard to the switches distributed without downtime before, so I can do the opposite.

• Extended support of Windows Server 2008 R2

  Hello team,

  The extended support for Windows Server 2008 R2 apply for new licences or for only those who has a license purchased before the end of Mainstream Support Date?

  I was at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=windows%20server%202008%20R2&Filter=FilterNO&wa=wsignin1.0 where he talks about Mainstream and Extended support but I did not understand how works extended support.

  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)

• Drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

  PE1950, 2950 and MD3000i MPIO on Windows Server 2008 R2

  We're trying to nail a few dates to migrate our W2K8 R2 platform and plan the project.  We have most of our technical plans in place, and we have the code.  We have no Dell drivers however and there are several suspicious communications from Dell on this topic...

  Case #1: http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/insideit/archive/2009/08/10/ready-for-the-transition-dell-provides-support-for-windows-server-2008-r2.aspx

  Note:

  • Our engineers have missed on countless piano recitals, songs and episodes of American Idol while spending thousands of hours of testing and validation to make sure that dy products Dell running Windows Server 2008 R2 are the business-rea.
  • We have pilot complete support for Windows Server 2008 R2 for Dell hardware so you can deploy, run and manage easily. You can go here to download the drivers.

  If you view the service labels in our support of similar product groups, you will find an R2 option for servers... but the only public services on the PowerVault MD3000i you don't find any reference to R2 at all.

  Case #2: http://www.delltechcenter.com/page/Supportted+Dell+PowerEdge+Systems+for+Microsoft+Windows+Server+2008+R2+Beta

  This is a list of Beta for PE obviously compatible servers, however it would make sense If Microsoft has included natively the right drivers for the Dell hardware in the distribution of Microsoft R2 RTM so, just can't find any supporting documentation and do not know if the network drivers are compatible with MD3000i.

  #3: There are a few hacks to get drivers Windows 2008 MPIO inherited working with the RC R2 & MD3000i on this forum, but no reference to R2 in the MD3000i matrix and nothing on the site... it's why, we have wondering again where are the good drivers for R2 RTM?

  Can you be it someone from Dell and or this forum please send information on these issues?

  #1: driver compatibility of matrix for Windows Server 2008 R2 running on PE1950 and connected to an MD3000i PE2950 is a supported configuration?  (Code R2 RTM was released to Microsoft volume license customers)

  #2: the network drivers for the host machines included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM?  If this is true, are the drivers MPIO for MD3000i and iSCSI Dell other platforms included in the support of Windows Server 2008 R2 RTM as well then?

  #3: If all the answers are not questions #1 and #2... could someone PLEASE contact people of pilot certification on Dell to see if they are same in QA at this point, if they plan to update and display an estimated date of implementation?  We have contacted tech support, but received very vague answers on anything with R2 at this stage.  There is a business directory and a path to escelation for support tickets, but the midrange as this makes it much easier to share information for the masses, we just have not yet found.

  Thanks for your information, comments and your support!

  OptimalState

  I was finally sent to someone who could give me some information on this within Dell, here's what they said:

  PE 1950/2950 drivers:

  The pilot should be included natively in Windows Server 2008 R2 media, and if so, would these drivers would be supported by Dell in a production scenario.

  MD3000i:

  I know that we will not issue a new MDSM which will fund 2008 R2 until sometimes in October. The MD3000i requires MPIO to the MD3000i and Dell drivers driver installation to work properly. I'll see if there is other information that I can find. I understand your frustration and engineer told me that this has been corrected in the next MDSM and MD3000i firmware version in October.

  So, it looks like October before MD3000i will be supported.

• VCenter 4.1 update - support for 64 bit Windows 2008 R2

  Hi, I was wondering if VCenter 4.1 supports Windows 2008 R2 64-bit?  OR if it supports up to Windows 2008 64-bit (Service Pack 2)?

  Noticed a large number of entries of knowledge, but many of them are former comments so just look for the current level of support.

  Thank you

  HCC says:

  My SQL Server 2005 is external and I executed the script to check the inconsistencies and that returned nothing, so I guess I can just run the datamigration for backup tool and install the VCenter on the new hardware.

  There is no need to run the data migration tool.  You connect to an external DB, that identify only in your installation.  The schema will be upgraded and your inventory will be back as usual.  Just make sure you have a full backup.

• Change Vcenter DSN 2005 SQL native client for SQL 2008 native client

  Hi all.

  I tried to upgrade our Vsphere for VM Windows 5.5 to Vsphere 6.0 for Windows (latest version of January).

  The upgrade checking failed after entering the credentials of user Vcenter. The error is 'unsupported database driver.

  In fact the DSN connection uses the SQL native client 2005.90.2047. Is also on the system SQL native client 10. (Version 2009.100.2500) is installed. I think it's the SQL 2008 R2 native client.

  The SQL Vcenter database is on a remote database SQL 2008 R2 server.

  I tried to change the DSN of SQL native client 10. The service started, but I've seen lots of SQL errors in the vpxd.log. I could solve only to return to the snapshot and restore the SQL database.

  How can I change the SQL Native client to connect DSN correctly?

  Thank you very much in advance?

  Edy

  Have you removed the old DSN entry and created a new using the driver of the new (and good)? And have you checked the registry if your change reflected here (\VMware Virtualcenter\DB HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware, Inc.)?

• Configuration of SQL 2008 R2, Enterprise Edition for vCenter Server 5.1

  Greetings to all seasons.

  Kind of a newbie here. That's my lab environment.

  I have always used the vCenter Server install Simple option that also installs the shipped Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Express edition.

  Now, I do an eval of vSphere 5.1 and I want to manually configure a database server using the Microsoft SQL 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition.

  I know how to install the database server and it works. But I do not know how exactly set up a database for vCenter Server.

  I looked at the guide Configuration / Installation of vSphere and I don't seem to be able to follow the preparation vCenter Server databases section, because I'm not a person to the database. Y at - it any other guide or a blog, I can follow? I searched a lot and found everything I was looking for. Thought I would ask here.

  Here are the virtual machines I have.

  Lab - DC1 (domain controller)

  Are questions about wheter it works - it is questions about knowledge if it is supported.

  Hello.

  In http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf , it says that Windows 2008 R2 is supported as the operating system on the server vCenter Server.

  R2 is not mentioned in http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1022137 .

  Then...

  Is R2 platform support?

  What is listed in the compatibility matrix is correct, then Yes.

  I read the correct documentation that SQL 2008 Express is NOT supported as vCenter database?

  Yes.  Use you it as a database, or just use the SQL SERVER 2005 Express that comes with vCenter?

  Good luck!

• Support for Windows 2008 R2 in vCenter Server 2.5 U4 and 4.0

  I'll have no problem creating models in both versions of vCenter Server. The question arises when you try to deploy the model to the Customization Wizard help. Under 4.0, it immediately comes up as not supported (7 64 windows server). Minus 2.5 U4, there is no tag for Windows 2008 R2 OS.

  Support for this OS will be released in a next update on both vCenter servers (specifically the Customization Wizard)?

  Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 is not supported with vSphere yet but experimental and should be supported subsequently released but they're working on it. You can run the wizard of customization with Windows 2008 however, here's how the instructions http://vinf.net/2009/07/09/how-to-deploy-a-windows-2008-server-from-a-template-with-vsphere/
