Testing failover with VMware vCenter / SRM and SQL on protected volume.

OK, MRS. works well in test mode, although we would like to test a failover / then backspace over the weekend...

We run SQL 2012 on a virtual machine as well as vCenter/SRM on another virtual machine, both on the protected volumes.

If the failover stops all VM, makes a new replication then turns on the virtual machine on the DR site, it would fail because we had SQL and SRM on a protected volume?  I can understand moving protected site vCenter / SRM VM to another volume, but SQL Server is also used for other data bases we want protected.  My guess is that MRS is not smart enough to not stop SQL server last.  What should do?  What is everybody doing?

Thanks in advance.

You need a RS and SRMDB on both sites. The SRM on the site of DR will manage the entire process and not the vcenter/srm on the production site.

BTW. a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express (R2 SP1) - 64-bit is supportet to SRMDB. Check partnerweb.vmware.com/.../interop_matrix.php

Kind regards

  • Can of POS used with Vmware vCenter Server 5 Standard license

    Hello team,

    Accroding to http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 2016565

    WTP is supplied with vSphere Essentials more and more.

    I searched but did not meet solid information where he explains when licensed some don't need us to buy additional licenses for new features / applications, etc.
    I'm new to Vmware licenses hierarchy. We have Vmware vCenter Server Standard 5 license.
    Please point me to a URL that contains the hierarchy of Vmware licenses .

    Thank you much in advance.
    Niraj

    You can use vCenter Server Standard 5 licenses for POS. Everything we have features such as (profile of HA, DRS, FT, VDP, host, DVS etc.) you don't need to worry about the virtual server license Center. You must use the correct license vsphere host. But don't forget to think about some virtual server edition Center can handle some vsphere hosts.

    vCenter server 5 Essentials can manage only vSphere Essentials Plus or vSphere Essentials.

    vCenter Server Standard 5 licensecan eat only vSphere vSphere Enterprise and vSphere companies plus standards.

    You can activate the functionality of POS with vSphere Essentials Plus then you will need to use vCenter server 5 Essentials.If you use vCenter server standard for vSphere Essentials Plus so it give error or warning for violation of editing.

  • y at - it an easy way to convert w7 64-bit with VMware vCenter Converter Standalone

    Hallo

    I am struggling with the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone with windows XP everthing works well...

    I would like to convert a 64-bit Windows 7 computer and run it on a windows 7 64 bit with vmware player > 4

    I get a blue screen and message windows cannot be bootet normally...

    Thanks for any help

    was soon rene

    Welcome to the community,

    It is most likely a problem with the virtual drive created for the converted virtual machine controller. Unless you specify the correct controller ("LSI Logic SAS' for Windows 7) type in the Converter Wizard, you can end up with an IDE controller.

  • Display with VMware Workstation 9 and Enterprise of Windows 8 comments bug

    Hello

    I just installed VMware Workstation 9.

    I created and installed a VM of Windows 8 Enterprise comments.

    Everything works fine, except that when I go to the Windows 8 settings via bar charm (not via the desktop...), the display setting menu is occasionally screwed up!

    This problem appeared just after I installed the VMware Tools in the guest OS. Before that, there was no display problem. Believe me, I've taken care of that by testing entirely.

    My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate. My processor is an Intel Core i7 870 (4 cores) and I have 8 GB of memory. My graphics card is an AMD ATI 5850 with the latest drivers.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    PS: This is not one type of bug in time. I can repeat this every time I have to create a virtual machine Windows 8 Enterprise comments. The problem was also there with VMware Workstation 8. My guess is that VMware tools are buggy, at least with certain type of graphics compared to Windows 8...

  • Test failover with physical standby

    Hello

    I have a primary at base of 11.2.0.4 (cars) and an instance of unique physical standby (on a virtual machine).

    I need to test failover.

    I'm looking some procedure or steps.

    Can they be valid?

    On primary

    • change the built-in system again to standby_db_name;
    • alter system archive log current;
    • Stop the shipment of archive: alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2 = "DAVID";

    Standby:

    • ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL;
    • ALTER DATABASE RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE FINISH;
    • stop immediately; --> the snapshot can be done at this stage or need to get after 'RECOVER MANAGED STANDBY DATABASE CANCEL'
    • Make a snapshot of the virtual machine
    • startup nomount
    • ALTER database base_de_donnees eve of Mount;
    • ALTER DATABASE ACTIVATE PHYSICAL STANDBY DATABASE.
    • ALTER DATABASE OPEN;

    Test what finish

    Standby:

    • stop the database
    • restore from snapshot
    • Put the database in recovery mode

    Elementary school:

    • Allow destination of the Journal 2

    What do you think?

    Use the snapshot before...

  • vCenter Server and SQL server affinity

    Is there a best practice for the rules of the affinity between a vCenter server and a SQL server VM in the same cluster?

    Thank you

    I think that separation would be mainly for safety.  Maybe to keep the SQL Server in a broadcast domain separate servers so that they do not receive all the Windows usual chatter.

    Most of the environments I've worked have been small enough to either do not have more than a few tens of machines virtual hosts/250, or overworked staff that cannot be dedicated to security, s/n, etc., and the decision was taken to run the DB in SQL Server on the same server as the application of vCenter to reduce the complexity and rely on the host/network/SQL Server security and properly locking to the bottom of vCenter.

    As I said before, there is a good chance you won't notice a difference, performance wise, anyway.

  • VI3 - VMware vCenter Foundation of Vsphere 4

    Hi all

    I bought the VI3 with VMware vCenter Foundation, and now the infrastructure is ready for installation.  The server is compatible with vSphere 4 and I m thinking that it is better to install the vSphere 4.

    My question is: I have the license to use the VMware vCenter Foundation 3, what is the upgrade path to Vsphere 4? Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

    Where can I check if I have the right use vSphere VI3?

    If your product is under SnS you have the new license code for vSphere.

    Check under License Web Portal to see if you have the new series.

  • vSphere installed... what VMware vCenter?

    Hello

    After a day or two fiddling with the material, I finally got updated vSphere environment

    and I Win2008R2 installed on a virtual machine and a Linux Server installed on another.

    [LongStory short: motherboard does not support the CPU.]  Bought the new motherboard and

    that solved the problem of 2008 R2 cannot be installed on the

    machine.]

    Va-the < http://*LocalIP* > on my browser, I see that I need to download VMware vCenter.

    I click on "Download VMWare vCenter" and I am led to this page:

    http://downloads.VMware.com/d/

    There are 10 + VMWare vCenter products and which confuses me.  Which one

    the "Download VMWare vCenter" refers to?

    BTW, vSphere 4.1 is released.  But there are references to vSphere v5.0 (with a new

    authorisation scheme).  When released v5.0?

    Thank you

    Ed

    Hi Ed,

    So what you're saying is that what follows is identical: vCenter operations, CapacityIQ, Lifecycle Manager, Site Recovery Manager, Director of the lab, Server Heartbeat, Configuration Manager?

    No, it is certainly different products. I understand you asked what link you can download "vCenter Server.

    And in order to install the vCenter , I need also a SQL Server?   In an earlier thread, it was mentioned that SQL Server Express is installed if I hadn't SQL Server (which I did not)?

    During installation, you can decide whether to use an existing SQL Server install SQL Express. The recommendation is to use SQL Express only for environments with up to 5 ESXi servers and/or 50 virtual machines.

    vCenter Server can be installed on a Windows physical system or a virtual machine (it is recommended to install in a virtual machine). To access and manage the "VirtualCenter Server", you need to install the "vSphere Client' on the client system and connect the vCenter Server with it.

  • Test failover network

    I wonder if there is a way to force a virtual computer to a specific network during a test failover?  I use SRM 4.0.1 with NetApp SRA 1.4.3 and a network of testbubble is created during a failover test.  I created a test network and select this network setting up recovery plan when he ask about the test networks.

    Any thoughts?

    Yes, of course, it is possible. The setting is per portgroup / VM, however.

    Change your Recovery Plan. On the "Network Test" screen, you can choose on what portgroup virtual machines will be connected during the recovery test. By default it is set to auto mode, which means that the switch internal is created on the ESX hosts.

  • Problem installing OpenManage for VMWare vCenter integration

    Hello

    I'm trying to use Dell OpenManage integration with VMWare vCenter and have downloaded and deployed with the OVF file.  The virtual machine appears to have installed correctly and I recorded 2 servers by IP address vCenter.  I can connect to the DellAdminPortal page and sign in.  In the Administration Console under vCenter record I see two vCenter server and I get the message

    Success
    The vCenter 172.17.1.30 has been saved successfully. Open a new client vSphere for vCenter 172.17.1.30 so that the changes can be implemented.

    However when I connect to my with the Web Client vSphere vCenter I don't see the icon Dell OpenManage integration under the Administration category.  What Miss me?  I also checked the Administration-> have management and I can only see vCenter Orchestrator, Log Browser and SSO Admin UI Plugin.  About Dell OpenManage.

    I have connected several times and have even restarted the VM OpenManage, but nothing appears.  Any suggestions on what I can do to get this race?

    Thank you

    Scott

    Our web customer support is for vSphere 5.5 only. Please make sure it's the version of vCenter that you run.

    "If you are on 5.5 check if there are two plugin files in C:/ProgramData/VMware/vSphere Web Client/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity /" If there is, we have seen that removing the oldest file and restarting the blank Server fixed this issue.

  • UCSM / VMware vCenter Server dependencies for vDS

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around the differences between the vDS created via UCSM / VMware vCenter integration and the traditional N1K.

    If correctly, the vDS UCSM (1.4) does not require the VSM device which is necessary with the N1K.  And if that is correct, is there any dependency on vCenter?  If vCenter falls down the vDS will continue to operate normally as made them act as the VSM?

    Pete,

    There is a dependency on vCenter, similar to N1kv (software) and UCSM vDS (hardware), applies to both methods of implementation. However, if vCenter goes down the current state of the operation continues. When a change occurs on the virtual machine, that is where should be upward a vCenter race.

    Concerning best practices, I was that it is better to have everything on the vDS for operational reasons. You can then apply and manage the kernal ports in the same case that VM vNIC. QoS, etc... There is a nice documentation on www.cisco.com/go/designzone data Center on this topic.

  • VMware vCenter Orchestrator Configuration problem

    Hi guys,.

    My company has just installed VMware vCenter Orchestrator and we try to create a new host to vCenter server with version 5.0.1.

    Can someone point me to documentation that shows me how to configure the web page in the print screen attached?  Or can someone please tell me what is needed in the empty fields, etc.?  When we try to enter info, we get alerts of service of red light of the vCenter Server tab and the tab startup options.  Both give us a red circle indicating a problem.

    Thank you!

    A free IP address? Oh... No, this plugin configuration is not actually CREATE a vCenter for you, it allows you to configure the vCO to speak to an EXISTING vCenter server you must already have a server vCenter configuration somewhere and you must use the FULL domain name or address IP of this server in this configuration.
