• Best method to upgrade/migrate vCenter 4.0 to 4.1?

  Hello

  
  I thought a lot about the best method for my server vCenter 4.0 to 4.1 upgrade/migration. I currently have vCenter 4.0 on a * virtual machine * which was a PITA when it comes to maintenance, so I would just stand up a new * physical Machine * and install vCenter 4.1 on it. I want to downgrade the existing vCenter of VM 4.0 altogether and just use this new physical server to manage my host ESX to vCenter 4.1.

  It would be possible to disregard of any * update procedures * and just set up a new vCenter 4.1 from scratch on the new server, or are there no warnings special I should be informed when turning off my server vCenter 4.0 service existing to make appear a new vCenter 4.1 online?

  Any techies VM colleagues help or advice may provide for my scenario will be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  I need to get up my new physical server w / SQL Server 2008;

  Yes

  I need to save my existing vCenter 4.0 DB;

  Yes

  I need to restore my vCenter 4.0 DB from the existing to the new server server then;

  Yes

  Then I need to install vCenter 4.1;

  Yes

  I then copy the directory SSL from 4.0 to 4.1 existing new

  None... You will need to create the directory structure, before installing vCenter.  \ProgramData\VMware\VMware then copy of VirtualCenter to the SSL Directory and then start installing vCenter.

• Re-create the delayed data post-upgrade migration work?

  Hi all
  
  After setting up our new 12 c SGO (approach-system-2, which is both an old and new are running at the moment), I spent a number of test for the new OMS12 machines and performed the work of migration of data charges and deferred taxes.
  Delayed data migration job "metrics" has failed, and - unfortunately not check documentation first - I killed the work failed because I hoped that this would enable me to restart.
  
  Oracle documentation:
  "To revive a failed job, click the status icon to the work page. On the page of work performed, click on change. On the Edit < JobName > work page, click on submit to rerun the task. »
  
  Now I can revive neither labour nor the system seems to be able to recreate - y at - it a possiblity of getting this job back in there? Or maybe run it at least manually? Historical metrics data collected has been one of the reasons that we have decided to approach system-2 in the first place, and go through the process of establishing WHO 12 once seems excessive to us.
  
  Every help is very appreciated!

  Of performance (or re-track/restart) the DDMP process manually in a 2 EM GC 12 c upgrade/migration system. Use the following anonymous PL/SQL:

  Start
  em_metric_data__upgtmprl.migrate_all_partitions;

  In one EM GC 12 c upgrade/migration system, use:

• Loopholes in the upgrade/migration steps.

  We do an upgrade. Database Oracle version 8.1.7 (No. CARS) to 10.2.0.5 (RAC). Old operating system: Tru64 Unix. New OS: RHEL 5.
  
  Database is of small size and about 30 GB.
  
  We have the production database (8.1.7, Tru64) has exported and imported to a new development environment (10.2.0.5, RHEL 5) (with less data, but all objects.). The valid/invalid objects are same from (8.1.7) production.
  
  Now, we have created to tablespaces, grants, schema DDLS and almost all of the objects (some of them will be used the latter) in the area of development mentioned above.
  
  Are the steps suggested by some colleagues for upgrade/migration
  1. install Oracle 10.2.0.5 with RAC in the new box
  2 migrate settings init.ora (with some changes)
  3. create the database (empty)
  3. use of replacement of the rollbacktablespace and rollbacksegments undotablespace
  4. create storage for the application schemas (will be created by the SQL scripts prepared earlier)
  5. grant of rights (will be given by the SQL scripts prepared earlier).
  6. take full export
  7 do the import!
  
  I want to ask the experts about the possible loop holes that they see in this process.
  
  I'll post the same thread in the Forum 'Database Upgrade' also get some reflections more (not foreseen for spamming). Please bear with me.

• SSD upgrade/migrate inside 23 tilt of HP Envy TouchSmart?

  (model: 23-k001hk all-in-One)

  Hello all - asking for suggestions advice from wise and kind people on the best way - and operating instructions - for upgrading the speed of my current hdisk 1 TB + SSD 16 GB cache scheme of HP storage by one of these itineraries:

  1) upgrade the disk installed cache 16 GB SSD mSATA disk (limit Intel RST) 64 GB mSATA

  Why: I update regularly a slap (10-15GB) of data from the Agency.

  so given that the daily volume of modified files is comparable to 16 GB,

  I'm assuming that a larger cache will actually add value

  (2) install an SSD 'broad' to serve the main startup disk by replacing

  the existing hdisk of 1 TB (I use a tiny fraction of it) with a 2.5 SSD "

  with a suitable support (and deleting or disabling the 16 GB SSD disk cache)

  Thanks in advance for any advice on this point, HP does not have any information on that, nor any obvious way to access or review the settings of the RST (firmware?) used in their SSDcache + hDisk arrangement (Yes, tried Ctrl-I, the boot, etc.-no joy).

  -Rob in Hong Kong

  Hi WAWood,

  A late thank you for your advice. Based on this feedback and having discovered just that software ExpressCache 'hidden' on my system quietly stopped working after the upgrade to Windows 10 (and HP support does not currently have updated software ExpressCache for Windows 10), I decided to install a large SSD drive and use it as a boot drive.

  In the this could help other all-in-One HP Envy owners tilt, here is a summary of the steps that worked with obvious disclaimers that even if it worked for me, it is not a 'universal' solution and also that if you mess with the hardware/software of your system, you are of course on your own, without guarantees or responsibility for this author) :

  (also, my apologies for the format - in a hurry)

  System:

  HP Envy tilt (23-k001h model) running Windows 10

  Basic purpose:

  Change the original storage configuration:

  Hdisk (boot drive) 1 TB + 16 GB mSATA SSD cache ("linked" to the hdisk via ExpressCache)

  TO:

  Hdisk (spare drive) 1 TB + new Samsung Evo 850 mSATA SSD 500 GB (as boot drive)

  Result

  Many, many "zippier" system: QuickStart, app launch, etc..

  Measures

  Disable ExpressCache

  (HP Envy models tilt seem to use this supplement Windows 3 rd-party, instead of Intel RST):

  In my case, as my recent visit to Windows 10 has taken care of this for me (haha), I don't have to do;  Otherwise, I guess we should stop the ExpressCache service, uninstall the software from ExpressCache and/or drivers, then reboot - suggest you only look it up in the forums, because I can't offer my own experience on this one.

  Clear/unloading as much unnecessary data from drive C: (1 TB hdisk) as possible.

  The goal would be to have used space on C: be greatly below your 500 GB (or other) new drive (in my case, I cut the used space on the C: 100 GB).

  Also a good idea to run the defrag Windows on C:, as may be useful (necessary?) for the reduction of this partition in the next step

  Disk management Windows allows you to shrink the Windows partition (mapped as C

  Goal: you want a net size of all partitions on hdisk (Windows + hidden/recovery/system partitions) to be a little less than the actual size of your new SSD (my "500 GB" SSD was actually more as 465 GB)

  Warning: disk management can claim "not enough space" to shrink Windows (C when it's clearly not partition so - in my case, the problem was due to my Windows partition is not the last partition on the disk before the unallocated space (if any) - obviously this disrupts the management of disks.)  If so, you need to move partitions using a 3rd party soft as AOMEI (free app - has worked well for me) all for the Windows partition is the last partition on the hdisk, with unallocated space located immediately after the Windows partition.

  Result: when the dust settles, the partitions allocated on your hdisk must have a net size which is comfortably at less than the actual capacity of your new SSD (in my case, the partitions was 440 GB on a capacity 465 GB SSD).

  Physics card mSATA SSD upgrade

  • Power PC, unplug from the mains and remove the rear plastic cover:
  • http://support.HP.com/in-en/document/c04100400
• Remove the metal shield covering the RAM:
  • http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04007922 (only the first 3 steps)
• Remove the metal shield covering the motherboard:
  • Locate/remove the 3 screws holding it down.
  • Lift on board as possible shielding at the booth of PC;
• Locate the SSD of origin (see tiny map labeled as SanDisk or some of these) and remove 2 tiny screws to attach to the motherboard.
• While keeping you constantly connected to the Earth (strap, touch metal chassis, etc.):
  • gently remove original SSD and save it in some static container (if upgrade fails and you want to restore the system to the original state of the material)
  • Gently insert the new card in lateral connector mSATA SSD,
  • and to the motherboard with the same 2 live
• Replace the motherboard of armour, armour of RAM and plastic cover

Check the new SSD 'visible' to the BIOS:

At first startup, use ESC to enter the BIOS settings, then check that BIOS 'sees' the new SSD as the original hdisk

Clone all partitions on hdisk--> new SSD

Start & connect to Windows and use Macrium Reflect (free) to clone all the partitions on hdisk for the new SSD - see large portico advice to:

http://www.howtogeek.com/199068/how-to-upgrade-your-existing-hard-drive-in-under-an-hour/

Do not forget:

• Suggestion from the link above, you must first a Macrium recovery disk
• You can clone * all * the partitions on the SSD's original hdisk

Result: cloned partitions now visible on new SSD. may have little extra/no allocated space on SSD (can deal with that later)

In the BIOS change the boot to new SSD drive

Reboot PC, press ESC to enter the BIOS to change the boot order:

• make the first boot drive in SSD
• also suggest to disable booting from originals hdisk (night before you really start SSD)
• Save the BIOS settings and exit the BIOS

Make sure that you have started of SSD and clean the unwanted drive mappings

Start & log Windows

(the fact that you can reach this point means that you have passed the first test)

Use Windows Disk Manager to

* ensure that C: is mapped to your new SSD.

* make sure that you can still see original hdisk, too

* suggest remove you mappings of unnecessary letters drive

(with the exception of the C: drive!) for all other partitions on hdisk or SSD

Test through full reboot

As a further test, do a reboot of Windows to make sure there are no problems with the start-up of SSD; again, once in Windows, use disk management to check again once your C: drive is the partition on the new SSD

Optimizing Windows SSD

There are several Windows setting changes that you should do when your primary/boot disk is an SSD, either:

• If you have purchased a Samsung SSD, you can download/use their app "Samsung magician" to do so (see "Optimization of OS" section), or
• Google "Optimizing windows 10 ssd" to find any number of guides to achieve this, such as:
  • http://www.disk-partition.com/Windows-10/SSD-optimization-Windows-10-4348.html
• Note: one of the most important changes are those related to mode AHCI (ability to GARNISH)
• Note: some suggested parameters cannot be 100% essential, for example:
  • pagefile on SSD: some authors suggest no page on the DSS file, others say "keep" small'(?) "; most compelling advice I've seen are to retain the page file on the SSD, but let Windows manage the size; in all cases, should make sure that your system has * sufficient * RAM (8 GB and more) for your usage requirements.
  • 'leave free space' (aka overprovisioning): SSD experts suggest that current-technology SSDS, it is not necessary
  • "do not defrag": 10 Windows recognizes SSD and disable defrag automatically

All the problems?

Note that at this point, you still have your original hdisk with windows/data for a few days, so if this migration does not work, you can always go back by turning off the SSD and change the startup disk (in BIOS) originally hdisk

After a few days: some cleaning

When you are reasonably comfortable that your system is booting from SSD and Windows/apps work correctly, you can perform the following operations:

• Use Macrium Reflect (free) or similar to save a snapshot of your current partition SSD
• After the backup, delete old/unnecessary partitions on original hdisk. For some, drive management works; others may need to resort to using the command line program Admin "diskpart" (read the instructions carefully!) and use "Delete Partition Override" (be very sure that you have selected a partition on the * original hdisk * (IE, 'old'))
• Disk management allows you to create a new simple volume on hdisk original now empty, as a reader of alternative utility
• Regular backup of SSD Annex: SSDS, as with mechanical parts, will fail - it's only a matter of time. It 's going to happen. Thus, strongly suggest that you configure regular (daily) snapshots of your SSD partitions. Again, I use Macrium Reflect to do this with a full backup weekly + differential daily backups and save the images in the now empty original hdisk in the PC
• If your SSD has any sense space not allocated, you may want to expand the Windows partition on the SSD drive use disk management to make use of this space

• Migration advice

  Hello, everyone.

  I'm going to migrate from Aperture to Photos and need a little advice to make it as painless as possible.

  I currently have a library referenced Aperture of about 190 GBs with the original stored on an external HARD drive files. This library will not fit on the SSD for my MBA. What will be the best course of action to be undertaken to obtain pictures in Photos and then transferred to iCloud.

  Based on what I've read that I can say Photos to open the Aperture library, and that's all I really need to do so that he can import and start downloading the originals in iCloud. I'm not sure everything is trying photo copy only 190 GB storage internal, or can she leave the original files where they are on the external HARD drive, and upload them to iCloud there?

  Any tips will be appreciated.

  TIA,

  Michael

  NO.

  1 - referenced pictures will not download to iCloud photo library - only managed photos

  2 - photos supports referenced libraries but very badly and they are strongly deprecated - lack of ability to use with ICPL is a minor reason

  3 - there is advice here - opening - and how many Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  4 - your best bet will probably be to use the library on the EHD as a managed library - you should probably it consolidate before migating

• ESX 3.0.3 - any which way to upgrade (migration) in ESXi 5?

  Hi guys,.

  I am faced with the task to get 6 autonomous, unpatched, ESX 3.0.3 welcomes to ESXi 5.0 (target will be a VCenter Server Cluster) without spending money on new hardware no need to mention that guests who are run on these servers must remain as they are (most WIndows 2003 SP2 servers, downtime would be without problem.

  Second challenge is that I can't create new data warehouses, as the area of SAN is already at the limit

  Y at - it a Migration or upgrade path taken in charge for this task. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

  Thank you guys

  See you soon

  Sigmund

  A few considerations, I think that you are considering.

  I prefer rather a new installation of esxi5.0

  Why not consider?

  If you don't have all the data critical because an upgrade, you must migrate and knock some known issues.

  3.5--> 4.1--> 5.0

  in any case if you still prefer to upgrade

  1. put all hosts to 3.5---> right

  2. install vCenter 5.0---> right

  3 bring the 6 autonomous under the vCenter---> right

  4. go on with being level and migration of servers ESXi 5---> you may need to upgrade to 4.x before going to 5.x

• Upgrade migration does not

  Because v4.1 needs an x 64 system must migrate the server vCenter Server until a new distributor. In fact we have a Win2k3 x 86 Server, the new server will be a Win2k8 R2 x 64 Server.

  Then I followed the vsp_41_upgrade_guide.pdf and started the backup.bat on the old server. The backup process worked without an error.

  Acctualy I did not understand why whe VMware DB was recognized as custom, because we use the grouped MSSQL Express 2005 DB.

  So the datamigration file has been transferred to the new server and we started the install.bat. It also worked without error.

  And now the problem if I connect to the new server with you vSphere v4.1 customer everything is empty. I have to configure a license number for the vcenter Server, I need to create a data center for the new and so on. If something went wrong.

  Can someone please help?

  Please download the backup, restore and log vcinstallation files?

  A few questions -

  Run you several steps upgrade to legacy VC (IE install vc40 then switch to vc40u1 something like that)

  Looks like you hit a known issue where the backup is not detect group DB if several steps upgrade is performed.

  If above is true please try below solution-

  -Return to the original vCenter inherited machine and change DbServerType in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VMware Inc\VMware virtualCenter\ custom to grouped

  -Perform the same steps above and vcenter Server inventory will be filled; He succeeds

  Let me know if this solves your problem.

• Database upgrade, migration of the platform with the DSO

  Salvation;

  Thanks for the reply. According to the blog of oracle (http://blogs.oracle.com/stevenChan/entry/db_11gr2_11202_ebs ), HP - PA risk 64-bit is not yet certified with database 11 GR 2, so can we level database to GR 11, 2 on HP-UNIX or you recommend me to platform first migrate to Linux, so I must improve my database.

  If your platform doesn't certified not its average don't make this migration. If your exsisting server not certified with 11 GR 2 so first migrate your db upgrade

• Upgrade/Migration approach

  Hi all
  
  We currently have 2 node architecture for our instance of 11i (11.5.10.2) with DB (10.2.0.4) & CM on one node and forms/Web on another node with distributed appl_top in place on servers Solaris 5.10. We would like to have a final version of R12.1.3 with 11.2.0.2 on RHEL 5 machines 64-bit with DB only on a single node and other apps on other nodes.
  
  Could you please confirm if the below approach is fine.
  
  (1) perform the OATM conversion on the source instance
  2) migrate DB 10.2.0.4 solaris 5.10 for RHEL 5 64-bit to 11.2.0.2 by following the notes 557738.1
  (3) install the techstack for R12.1.1 on RHEL 5 server 64-bit
  (4) complete the upgrade R12.1.1
  (5) apply the R12.1.3 patch
  
  In addition, please confirm can I migrate directly the 10.2.0.4 active base on Solaris 5.10 for RHEL 5 server 64-bit with 11.2.0.2? If its possible, I need to follow the notes interoperability for 11 GR 2 with 11i on the source instance? Please confirm.

• vCenter upgrade/migration process

  Hello

  We currently have a single vCenter 4.1 server running on a virtual machine with a local SQL express 2005 instance. We want to end up with a vCenter Server unique 5 running on a virtual machine with a local instance of SQL 2008 R2.

  To get it we offer to do something like this:

  1. Deploy a new virtual (Server 2008 Std x 64) machine.
     
  2. Install SQL 2008 R2 on it.
     
  3. Copy (backup/restore) course SQL Express 2005 vCenter database to SQL 2008 on new virtual machine.
     
  4. Server vCenter 4.1 existing stop.
     
  5. Installing vCenter 5 on new virtual machine and attach it to the local instance of SQL 2008 R2.
     
  6. Have the new vCenter server to take control of all ESX hosts.
     
  7. Do?
     

  How that sounds like a plan please?

  The current "step 4" at the right time in the process? ".

  How exactly should "step 6' work?

  Any advice much appreciated.

  See you soon.

  IP address must be different and the name for the new vCenter VM and host.

  Hello

  Generally, you don't need to buy another license. However, if your hardware target is different than the source material, you may need to update or license and support contracts.

  Hello

  Normally, if you have a single database in a version and you want to be converted to be CARS in another version, you can do the following:
  1. backup the database.
  2. install the binary files for the new version in the single database
  -install 11 GR 2 as stand-alone (ASM already there, you just create binary RDBMS House)
  3 level stand-alond database from the old version to the new version.
  -update of 10.2 to 11.2
  check the 251.1 Note for more details on the upgrade and the checklist
  4. after the upgrade, go from the single-phase cars using following link:
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/E11882_01/install.112/e10813/cvrt2rac.htm (for Linux)
  -of course check your platform link

  Then you'll your updated database upgraded to CARS in the new version.

  Hope this give you some good advice. Good luck.

  I've updated to Firefox / Thunderbird. Since then, open Thunderbird gives the Council-information update Thunderbird 38 main screen. By clicking on the label of upgrade/migration has no effect.
