• Question about the upgrade path Essbase

  Hi Techies,
  
  We are modernizing Essbase in windows since version 7.1.6 to 9.3.1 platform. Now my question is what is the best way to do that, as first upgrading to 9.2 then 9.3.1 or completely uninstall and reinstall the version 9.3.1 directly? In Essbase 9.3.1 application is rebuilt from scratch, so we thought to stick with the second option IE 7.1.6 to uninstall and reinstall 9.3.1. But now we have other applications that must be replicated from 7.1.6 to 9.3.1 an app frame. We heard that we must follow the path of upgrade first to 9.2, then in 9.3.1. Is this true? !!
  
  Can you guys shed some light on this as well as the consequences of each option, if applicable.
  
  Thanks in advance

  personally, I would be completely uninstall, make sure that all the elements of the old version have disappeared, so check the registry and environment variables have been removed. Then install the 9.3.1.
  As it seems as you are going to use the same server, then for the applications that you want to migrate upward all objects (outlines, scripts of calc, rules, reports), export the data.
  So if you want to export security and filters, then I would look using the essbase (free utility) Advanced Security Manager. Then rebuild the applications once the new environment has been built.

  See you soon

• Upgradation of Essbase 6.5 to 9.3.1

  Hello
  
  I have to migrate the Essbase databases from version 6.5 of the 9.3.1. Is it possible to have the installation of 6.5 and 9.3.1 in the same machine and migrate the databases by using the Migration Wizard.
  
  Request to the Migration Wizard for the Source servers and target that must be different and do not accept / proceeds when the same server name is given in the Source text and target text boxes. It is possible to have two instances of the server installed on the same computer. I want to have as 6.5 Source Server and the target server as 9.3.1. This will allow me to test the Migration process using a single server.
  
  Please help out me.
  
  Kind regards

  Hello

  1. you can not install two different versions of Essbase, on a single machine.
  2 - Yes, you can add Essbase 6.5 on EE 9.3 Server.

• Thinking on upgrading ESXi 4.1 to 5.0 in a cluster host

  Hi all

  I have the cluster:

  vCenter 5.0 and many hosts running ESXi 4.1

  I want to improve the hosts to 5.0.

  My question:

  There's a question if I do an upgrade offline (using the ESXi installation CD).

  -How about if I want to do a new install of the host? Should I remove the host first of the bunch?

  -Can I migrate the virtual computer first off the coast of the host for both methods?

  Thanks in advance.

  Fajar.

  If you have multiple hosts in the cluster, you can pass the host one

  -Put a host into maintenance mode, that you plan to upgrade, then all the other virtual machines will have to migrate to another host (without interruption)

  -If you are installing freshly host, always the data store you won't get in shape, therefore inherited vmfs3 features will be there, even without the existing data store.

  -No need to turn off the vm or host for migration, go with vmotion functionality.

• Single point of failure/Cluster/high availability on Essbase 11.1.2

  Hello

  The project I am currently working has only one Version of Unix 11.1.2 Essbase server that's threat as a single Point of failure. Management thinking to upgrade the Essbase to superior verion 11.1.2.1 to achieve clustering & high availability and to overcome the situation of single Point of failure by having just a server unique essbase.

  My concerns here are;

  Note: Essbase in this project is used to generate reports only, write back data is not allowed.

  (1) not supported of the Essbase Version 11.1.2 Cluster / HA / failover to the other node?

  (2) if it is Yes, can you please share the link to the documentation for this version 11.1.2.

  There are other components of Hyperion as HFM, FDM used the same version in this project. If the failover is not supported in the version of Essbase 11.1.2 we need upgrade other components as well as the Essbase or just Essbase upgrade upgrade to version 11.1.2.x is sufficient.

  Please share your valuable thoughts on that.

  Thanking in advance for your ideas.

  Kind regards

  UB.

  
  

  Found the reason why Essbase Cluster does not work when implemented with failover / high availability when Essbase Analytics link (EAL) used in the project. Due to these facts, we have stopped application Essbase Cluster and the Essbase in my project remains SPOF (Single Point of Failure).

  Not sure if Oracle Corp. comes with EAL product improvements that can take over for Essbase Failover.

  "

  1. Essbase Analytics link (EAL release 11.1.1.4) does not support high availability facilities. This means that EAL cannot connect to a cluster of Essbase, always happens only connections to a server regular Essbase through the Regional service console. Although we can define availability high for Essbase, EAL will use a single Essbase server. If it breaks down another Essbase server is used, we must manually redefine the EAL bridges on the new Essbase server and re-create the database Essbase. It is not considered high availability in this case.
  2. There is no technical mechanism to link point to a Cluster Essbase-Essbase analytics. EAL is supported only to connect to a single named Essbase Server.
  3. Transparent partitions can support when configured Essbase as component availability high when EAL is used. EAL bridges in the active project uses Transparent partition.

  "

  Please feel free to correct me if this interpretation is wrong.

  Thank you

• Essbase ASO 9.3 to 11.1.2.3

  My system has been improved to 9.3 to 11.1.2.3. Now I have a bunch of ASO databases that need to be upgraded. Is simple copy the apps from the server version 9 on the server of version 11 and then the upgrade via the EAS? I read the section upgrade of Essbase in installation guide and config tasks. However, I wonder about ASO contours and aggregations and if something needs to be done, but a simple copy on. I don't speak of Shared Services or anything else, just the apps Essbase and dbs and so simply copy the applications through is enough or not and if there are additional tasks that must be done after copy if cela the correct route.

  Installation and Configuration Guide Release 11.1.2.3

  Why not use the migration of EAS, then export/import data wizard and run aggregrations

• How can I delete the previous configuration of Essbase Server Shared Services?

  Hi all

  I am trying to reinstall the Essbase Server (on a new server we have upgraded the Essbase server hardware) and reloads the data, but the current installation believes that I have already set up despite the withdrawal EssbaseCluster-1 of Shared Services Application groups.  Is there something else I need to do to get the new install Essbase server configured as a new instance of Essbase?

  Thank you
  Ryan

  If the server names have been changed, then it probably won't work, but I don't know what you mean that it did not work, you should check the registry of shared services, other possibilities are reset configuration tasks in the registry by using the epmsys_registry utility.

• Essbase marchandises9 and 11 wrong question :(

  Hi all
  
  am sure many will hit me for that matter.
  
  Ive got a situation where my client is upgraded to essbase 9 to 11. I did the installation and configuration on their UAT and everything went well. system has worked with all their marchandises9 applications.
  they came back to ask me today if its possible to eliminate weblogic server, http server and the RDBMS used during the Setup. and I was dumb struck.
  
  Then, I could see their backup server and a production server, Configurator running on two servers showed that the system is not set up, not a single component has been configured and yet they all seem to work well.
  
  Now they ask me to implementing essbase 11.1.2.1 without making the configuration. :(ive jamais fait quelque chose comme ça, ni avoir lu quelque chose comme ça dans les documents.)
  
  Please help me with this situation. Please let me know if by chance more rare possible to operate without config without RDBMS.
  
  Thanks :(

  Yes, it is possible to run essbase 9 without having to configure with an RDBMS in version 11 you need RDBMS to configure shared services, registry, even if you use only essbase in standalone mode.

• Migration essbase 9.3.1 to 11.1

  Hello world.
  I want to migrate to essbase 9.3.1 to 11.1, but one have a lot of questions about this. Anyone know if there are some document that can help me. Tips to start the comprehensive assessment.
  
  concerning
  Enrique Rodriguez
  Information specialist

  You can upgrade the essbase 9.3.1 to 11.1.1 by using the configuration utility11.1. When you run the configuration utility, you can choose 'Previous version Upgrade' instead of the new facility.

  However, it is recommended to go through the Hyperion EPM system 11 configuration guide installation and before you start. It can be found here .

  I hope this helps!

• Problem with HA after the upgrade to 6.0

  We had the private cloud based on vSphere 5.1. A few days ago, we went from vCenter Server 6.0. Now, I'm upgrading of ESXi hosts one I faced the problem. When I had to update a single host to 6.0 and tried to connect in the HA cluster I had an error. The reconfiguration process goes to 100% and fails with an error of operation time-out. I tried to reboot the host, to remove from the cluster, to uninstall the agent. No results. I can't understand.

  Now, I temporarily stopped the upgrade with the other guests to save the HA cluster.

  Any ideas how to fix?

  It seems that restarting HA agents on all the hosts (or reconfigure all the hosts for vSphere HA in client GUI) solves the problem.

• With the help of Manager Update to upgrade ESX 5.1 to 5.5 - conflicting ERROR VIBS

  
  Hello

  I hope someone can help. I have a number of 5.1 ESX host that I would spend 5.5 using the Update Manager which seems straight forward enough... right

  vCentre is 5.5

  Import the ESXi ISO to update manager

  Create a baseline

  Attach the base to the host to be upgraded

  Analyze and correct the

  .... Simple

  The problem I have is that use us the HP Custom image because they are all servers in HP, sense, right. I downloaded the HP 5.5 Custom ISO Image from the VMWare site and imported from the ISO to the Update Manager, created a base line, attached to a host of test (DL585 G5) and scan. IM presented then an incompatible warning and details show below

  

  I searched the net for a solution and found several contradictory entries on dealing with VIBs and creating custom ISOs, I also downloaded the ZIP of the Depot HP ESX file and created a custom ISO that does not work either.

  Here are the current Broadcom VIBs installed on my ESX host, test

  

  I can not also remove the contradictory VIBs because they are network card drivers and if I delete and restart the host does not have network cards (well Yes, I tried).

  Its been 2 days of pulling my hair and maybe I'm missing something simple.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  DCurrie,

  I'm in the same boat as you. I all hosts in HP DL380s I have migrated my hosts to test on my server to vCenter 5.5 U1 and went to perform the upgrade on the hosts of 5.1. I had everything first to apply the latest patches on the 5.1, which then allowed me to level 5.5.0 of the host. I then had another set of patches that I applied (assuming that I had to do before moving to 5.5.1). After the implementation of those, I still 5.5.1 an incompatible upgrade.

  The upgrade contains the following set of contradictory VIBs:

  Broadcom_bootbank_net - bnx2_2.2.5dv55.2 - 1OEM.550.0.0.1331820

  Remove the conflicting VIBs, or use the Image Generator...

  Then, I could at least make at 5.5.0, but not more than details. Both used 5.5.0 and 5.5.1 ISOs are ISOs of OEM HP.

  I have currently installed bnx2_2.2.4f.v55.3.

  HP has like downloadable bnx2_2.2.3t.v55.7 under the heading vSphere 5.5.

  VMware under the HCL has several versions, including my current version and the bnx2_2.2.5d.v55.2.

  Since this is test, I'll play with it some more and see what I can understand.

  Update: from U1b 5.5 Release Notes

  Update Manager reports the status of compliance as Incompatible when scanning or clean up ESXi 5.x hosts in a HA cluster

  When you perform an upgrade ESXi 5.x hosts belonging to a HA cluster analysis, Update Manager can report on the status of compliance of the incompatible host and might not allow the hosts to be remediated. Inconsistent compliance status is because of the way the agent of FDM (HA) is installed on ESXi 5.x hosts. From vSphere 5.0, the FDM agent is installed on the hosts ESXi as a VIB. When a VIB is installed or updated on an ESXi host, a flag is set to indicate that the bootbank on the host has been updated. Update Manager checks this flag while performing an analysis to level or sanitation and requires this flag to be cleared before the upgrade of a host. The flag can be cleared by restarting the host.

  Solution: restart guests reporting the State of compliance as Incompatible. Run the analysis of upgrading or rehabilitation after the host comes back online.

  Will try this and let you know how it goes.

• Welcome to the upgrade to ESXi 4.0 to 4.1 and 4.6 of view

  
  Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the upgrade of my esxi hosts that are running a cluster View 4.6.

  Overview of my environment:

  The current 4 ESXi hosts run 4.0.0 261974.  These hosts are UCS B200 M2 blade.

  I need to add a 5th host for abilities and bought a new UCS B200 M3 blade.  The M3 blade only supports ESXi 4.1 U2 or more so I can't install the same version running on my 4 current hosts.

  My question is, what would be the best practice to get the blade M3 installed and in my environment?

  Should I install the 4.1 u2 on the M3 blade and attach it to the cluster with the 4 hosts running 4.0, and then you spend the remaining 4.0 hosts one at a time?

  or

  Can I upgrade the 4 hosts first run 4.0 to 4.1 u2 or u3 and then install and join the M3 host?

  In addition, please include any documentation useful update, or links to, that would be great!

  Thank you!

  You consider right. Do an upgrade at a time. 4.0 and 4.1 also can coexist without problem, but the ideal is to upgrade.

  Good luck with that.

• Creating a new Essbase Cluster on the same Solaris Server

  Hi all

  
  I have two servers:

  Server1: Services Foundation, APS, EAS
  Server2: Essbase server, Essbase Studio on epminstance_1

  Due to the needs of the company, I need to "Rename" pole Essbase "EssbaseCluster-1"to something else... I know that this is not possible and the below document, I understand that I need to create a new instance on server Server2 and configure Essbase and Essbase Studio on it.

  "How to rename Essbase Cluster (Doc ID 1434439.1)"
  Aim: In the version of the EMP 11.1.2.x system, is it possible to rename the Essbase instance and cluster names once they are configured?

  Solution: No, it is not possible to rename cluster or Essbase instance names after the initial Setup. If you must change the instance names and cluster, create the cluster and the new instance. Applications for the export of the old cluster and import them into the new cluster.

  My doubt lies with the 2nd Essbase server configuration as I'm not clear how a unique environment with two standalone instances on the same physical Solaris Essbase server, with each owned their own cluster will behave. I know that they are independent groups and the notion of active/passive and active/active clusters are for part instances Essbase in the same cluster.

  I intend to create a new instance of epminstance_2 on Server2 and configure the 2nd Essbase server as follows: give it a * new * cluster name and not assign to Essbase existing cluster and deploy it in stand-alone mode.

  
  1. now I intend to use the 1st instance only as a backup option. In a case where the new instance should fail for some reason, I would like to start services on the old instance of essbase. Is this possible without any additional configuration or changes to the OPMN?

  2. in the alternative, say we want to remove the old instance. Please suggest ways in which I can surely 'delete' the older cluster (other than uninstall). Also, when users connect using SmartView, they would see the old cluster and new... Is there anyway that I can get rid of the older cluster without having to uninstall everthing on Server2 and start over?

  Thank you!

  It should not be a problem by adding additional instances of Essbase on the same server, it is documented - configuration and start-up additional Essbase Server Instances

  See you soon

• RAC OS upgrade

  Hey Buddy,

  I'm looking for more information on the upgrade of the OS in a 4 node RAC cluster.
  Specifically, I need go RHEL v4.3 to v4.7 RHEL. Y at - he of the documentiaon on this process?
  I had no luck finding one. For minor updates, you can remove the node, update.
  and add to the bunch? Thanks for any help/feedback.

  If you want to follow the system, you may need to upgrade from node to node, if you can keep the system down for maintanace stop the CRS in all the nodes.

  Basically, if you want to upgrade the operating system with your system to the top, you will have to roll OS upgrade in a cluster (node in node upgrade)

  The procedure would be something like that.

  1 - Navigate to the node 1

  1.1 - terminating the instance

  srvctl stop instance d -i

  1.2 - stop ASM in this node

  srvctl stop asm - n

  1.3 - stop the nodeapps

  srvctl stop nodeapps - n

  1, clusteware 3-stop (run as root user)

  crsctl stop crs

  2 upgrade/patch the OS

  3 - create a link to the binary files for RDBMS

  3, 1 - cd $RDBMS_HOME/bin

  resynchronize all

  4 - create a link to the binary files for ASM

  3, 1 - cd $ASM_HOME/bin

  resynchronize all

  PS: CRS doesn't have to be reprinted when

  5 - start of the cluster in this node (run as root)

  crsctl start crs

  6 - Check if all the resources are up and valid

  7 - repeat the procedure in steps 1-6 for the rest of the nodes in this clusteware, by node.

  The references you want are:

  "Oracle Clusterware and Real Application Clusters support mixed servers in the same cluster,
  as long as the servers are running the same operating system (e.g., OS even binary).
  You can create a cluster of machines of different speeds and size.
  In addition, Oracle supports the rolling upgrade of the operating system in a cluster
  When the two versions of the operating system are certified with Oracle database version that you are running.
  Note that the mixed operating system versions are supported only for the duration of an upgrade (i.e., 1-2 hours)
  -the cluster must never operate with mixed operating systems for an extended period.
  Oracle Clusterware and Real Application Clusters do not heterogeneous platforms support
  (for example, machines with different chip architectures) in the same cluster. »
