Upgrade question for data warehouses - want a confirmation

I have read in the upgrade guide and think I have the answer, but would like a confirmation e-mail.

It's my current scenario:

Three ESX 3.5 update 3 guests share a single fibre channel LUN and two iSCSI LUNS. The LUNS are all VMFS3 format.

vCenter 4.0. (It was just upgraded from 2.5 to 4.0 today)

I would add a fourth server from vSphere ESX 4.0 in the data center. I would like for this server to be able to share the same LUN VMFS3 as other ESX 3.5 hosts. Then I will move the VM from 3.5 servers to the servers of 4.0 one at a time, the upgrade of the VMTools on the virtual machine I. When I get enough VM on one of the servers of 3.5, I can pass this host to 4.0, and then keep the VM off the coast of 3.5 moving slowly until they are all on 4.0 hosts and guests 3.5 have been upgraded to 4.0.

I want to confirm is that I can add a shared LUN of VMFS3 existing to the new host of 4.0 without the host 4.0 formatting or otherwise destroy the VMFS3 data store and the VM 75 who live on that.

Looking at page 10 of the guide to upgrade, it says "no VMFS upgrade is required if you are upgrading an ESX3.x with VMFS3 data warehouses, then I guess it's ok. I guess that I didn't know, what if I shared a LUN exist with a new server, ESX4, whatever this scenario changes?

Thanks for your help.

I want to confirm is that I can add a shared LUN of VMFS3 existing to the new host without the host 4.0 4.0 formatting

That's right, what ESX 4.0 is non-destructive, unless you explicitly tell it to erase / format partitions.

If I shared a LUN with a new server, ESX4, change something about this scenario?

I don't know exactly, but ESX version 3.21 of VMFS, 3.03 3.02 introduced 3.31 VMFS.  ESX 4.0 is as 3.41 (I THINK), but it does not matter they are ALL compatible, these are revisions minor and no need to reformat.

  • What are the best solutions for data warehouse configuration in 10 gr 2

    I need help on solutions to provide my client for the upgrade of the data warehouse.

    Current configuration: database Oracle 9.2.0.8. This database contains the data warehouse and a LOBs more on the same host. The sizes are respectively 6 terabyte (3 years retention policy + current year) and 1 terabyte. The ETL tool and BO Reporting tools are also hosted on the same host. The current configuration is really poor.

    Customer cannot go for a major architectural or configuration to its environment changes existing now due to some constraints.

    However, they agreed to separate the databases on separate hosts of ETL tools and objects BO. We also plan to upgrade the database to 10 g 2 to achieve stability, better performance and overcome the current headache.
    We cannot upgrade the database 11g as the BO is a 6.5 version that is not compatible with Oracle 11 g. And the customer cannot afford to spend anything else than the database.

    So, my role is very essential in providing a perfect solution for better performance and take a migration successful Oracle from a host database to another (same platform and OS) in addition to the upgrade.

    I got to thinking now of the following:

    Move the database and Oracle mart for separating the host.
    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome with 32-bit HP - UX operating system (we are unable to change to 64-bit as ETL tool does not support)
    Install the new Oracle 10 g on the new host database and move the data to it.
    Discover all the new features of 10gr 2 in order to data warehouse, i.e., introduction of Clause SQL TYPE, Parallel processing, partitioning, Data Pump, SPA to study the pre and post migration.
    Also at RAC to provide more better solution than our main motivation is to show an extraordinary performance improvement.
    I need your help to prepare a good roadmap for my assignment. Please suggest.

    Thank you

    Tapan

    Two major changes since the 9i to 10g which will impact performance are
    a. changes in the default values when executing GATHER_ % _STATS
    b. change in the behavior of the optimizer

    Oracle has published several white papers on them.

    Since 10g is no longer in the Premier Support, you'll have some trouble connecting SRs with Oracle Support - they will continue to ask you to use 11 g.

    The host will be the same platform, i.e. HP Superdome

    Why do you need export if you do not change the platforms? You could install 9.2.0.8 on the new server, the database clone and then level to 10 gr 2 / 11 GR 2.

  • Design VSAN for data warehouses

    HI, I'm new with VSAN. I work for a small company, and whereas implementation of the VSAN on cluster 3 knots.

    I want to configure VSANS so that I can store the database and the production on faster disks (15 K) servers and other data on disks slow (7.2 K) is there a way I can achieve in VSAN? As I see it, I can only create a vsandatastore (created automatically) and assign the disks in disk groups, but no option to store vhdk on disk selected group or maybe create 2 vsandatastore (don't know it of possible or not) and configure the disk groups on them with faster disks and others with more slowly.

    Can someone please guide me here how can achieve us? any suggestion will be appreciated.

    Al-tough, it is possible to create a group with 1 x ssd and 3 x 600 GB 15 k rpm and another with 1 x ssd and 2 x 4 TB at 7200 RPM, I strongly advise you against it.

    There is (currently) no way to force your vm is to use the 'rapid' or groups 'slow' disks

    All disk groups are aggregated into a large data store.

    Currently, it is the best practices and recommended to use groups of equal records.

  • Small RAM upgrade question for Alienware Aurora R5

    Hello! Currently, I have an Alienware Aurora R5 with 2 x 4GB 2133 MHz RAM sticks and am really happy with it so far!

    But I would add another stick of 8GB 2133 MHz to bring it up to 16 GB, thing is, I'm not quite sure if I can simply another 8 GB stick fit into the slot XMM3 and make it work.

    partly because I couldn't find any documentation on what the latency of tensions/schedules/AR are on the 2 RAM sticks of 4 GB in the pc are currently, and I think as those that are important for the upgrade of ram,

    And because of this thing I found in the online manual for the R5

    Seems to say that there are only 5 configuration, I can have this set in stone or is it just that they tested?

    Thanks, Saucybagel

  • OBIEE retro-design to go from SQL Server to a data warehouse

    Hello
    I am new to modeling for data warehouses. We currently have an OBIEE environment put in place where the source of data was the transactional tables in SQL Server. The SQL Server data should be moved to a warehouse of data non-Oracle and I need to produce a logical data model for the people of my company warehouse. Unfortunately, the SQL Server data is never copied, so I based the model from the logical and physical of OBIEE diagram/relationships.
    My question is in what concerns the validity of the following relationships to be used in a data warehouse based on what is currently in OBIEE. When I have this model through Erwin, I wonder if I'm away from base in relationships (modeling, don't not personal):

    Dimension 1 has a 0:M with axis 2
    Dimension 1 has a 0:M with 3 Dimesion
    Dimension 2 has a 0:M with 3 Dimension
    Dimension 2 and 3 Dimension have a 0:M with 1 fact

    Through the use of pseudonyms and others, this works in OBIEE. Will this work as a model of data in a data warehouse environment?

    Thank you!

    I think that you started with the wrong foot. I suggest search you Google 'kimball methodology' and have a reading a few articles. Your DWH model should not be based on your transactional tables. You should ask your business users 'questions' they want to answer in the DWH. Then model your DWH base on it. You cannot model a DWH without knowing what questions you must answer. For example, if your users want to know the sales per day and per branch will be a fact of sales with a sales volume measure joining two dimension of branch and time dimensions. The number of facts will depend on the questions you need to answer, the data type, and the granularity of them.

  • Total latancy in data warehouses

    Hello

    My host has some datastores.one of them have high latency. What should I do?

    We know total latency = device katency + kernel latency if suppose us device or kernel is high, how should solve the problem?

    Thank you

    What I often find that alerts latency for data warehouses are related to CONSIDERING moves. Need large pieces of mobile data respond to a project. Are your warehouses of data showing high without cause latency? for long periods of time?

    I have the internal team of vcenter provide guidance on what they consider the latency for ps read and write ps and make these TOUGH KPI threshold in vcops. So when an alert occurs it is a matter of understanding unplanned planned vs, so it's a matter of drilling data with your experts.

    In my humble OPINION - be admin on vcops does not mean that you know the environment better than your teams... This means that you have useful data to share and then develop the best levels together and the SOP for what latency occurs and the steps to follow. We working through such things now... and test the adapter for Symmetrix. Looking is not on the HBA level so miss us some key data points, but we are working on the adapter to txt and other methods to get better data in vcops.

  • Question on the reclassification of the Version 3-5 data warehouses

    Background:

    We have a group of hosts running ESX 4.1 that I migrated to ESXi 5.

    All our hosts are connected to a San.

    All existing data stores are file system version 3.21

    I want all my stores data upgrade to version 5.  I know that there is an option to convert warehouses of data version 3 to version 5, but a support technician VMWare told me that he would not have even features a new version 5 data store would.  He said that he would retain the features of version 3.

    Question:

    If I delete a vCenter data store (after I have migrated off the guests) and then recreate the data store by using the same logical unit number, this will be a 5 native data store or it will still retain the features of version 3 when vCenter reuses the lun?

    I'd rather not have to cancel the mapping of the LUN and recreate blank those for native data warehouses 5 if possible.

    When you remove the logic unit number, it will be empty.  Adding, you can format as a LUN VMFS5
