Upgrade to Server 2008 R2 HDD to SSD with minimal downtime

Hello

I would like to know the most effective way to migrate an installation of operating system Windows Server 2008 R2 to a RAID1 HDD RAID 1 SSD

We are currently using Dell R710 servers and the operating system is installed on 2.5 "15 K SAS drives in a RAID 1 configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Backup and restore is the only way.  You CAN insert the SSD, create the RAID 1, then clone/backup/restore directly on the SSD RAID 1, rather than to external media, first, and then for the SSD, but because the HDD/SSD / SAS/SATA cannot be mixed in an array, you really have no other options.

  • The upgrade of database 10g to 11g with minimal downtime?

    Hi all

    We want to improve our 10.2.0.4 RAC database for 11.2.0.3 linux linux RAC. We have two different servers, where one is the production server (10.2.0.4) and another is the 11.2.0.3 Server.

    Here, we want to minimize downtime of the production database.

    Our db size is close to 1 TB. If we turn to the traditional method of upgradation as given below, then it will take nearly 15 hours:

    1. take RMAN 10 g bkp.

    2. transfer to server 11 g.

    3. restore the db.

    4. set at the database level.

    I had two methods to minimize the downtime that arise as follows, but I'm not sure that these means are feasible or not...

    1st method:

    Our server of db source here is 10.2.0.4 and target db server is 11.2.0.3.

    1. create a DR on the target server. (10.2.0.4)

    -Here we have installed the software (stand-alone) db to 10.2.0.4 on the target server, but also some 11.2.0.3 rac linux.

    -All data of Dr. files will be filesystem (not on ASM).

    Synchronize the database of production with the Dominican Republic.

    2. break the DR and turn it on.

    3 close the db and move the datafiles of the DR to ASM storage (11.2.0.3)

    4. start PB with option upgrade and update.

    It will take nearly 5 hours.

    2nd method:

    -Install the software grid 11g and 10g and 11 g db Server db software target.

    -We set up DR as first method but the grid HERE home will be 11 g and db House will be 10 g.

    -Now we will synchronize the DR with data base of production.

    -to activate the 10g database (target server)

    -will restart the database 11g House and then we will modernize it.

    Here I want to know that is it possible to create a DR with the following configuration?

    Production DB is 10.2.0.4 and DR is configured with 11g grid and g 10 db House.

    Kindly give your entries...

    Kind regards

    Andy...!

    Hi Srini,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I have the following document for the upgradation to 11g with minimal downtime, and it seems good. We make this POC...

    Thank you all for your suggestions.

    Kind regards

  • Windows Server 2008 R2 on a host of Windows 7 virtual machine

    Using a host Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit), could I create a virtual machine in Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC with active directory and join the field of Win 7 host?

    If so, what virtualization software recommend?

    It would be only for development purposes.

    No, you would not be able to join the host (Windows 7) for Windows Server 2008 R2. (Chicken and eggs).

    You can use Oracle VirtualBox or VMWare Player:

  • Failure of the Services of metadata for the sine qua non check to the RCU - SQL SERVER 2008

    Hello

    I tried installing BI Publisher using DB in Microsoft SQL Server 2008. I already did with ORACLE DB and it went fine and smooth. But with this SQL SERVER 2008, I always face an error in when during the audit requirements in RCU. ' 'Metadata' Services ' failed. I don't know what is needed to overcome this problem and the error.

    Can experts help me with this RCU configuration in SQL SERVER 2008.

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello

    The problem here is that you try to use your database of P6 - which has a ranking of CI_AS (case insensitive accents)

    You must create a separate database and not use your P6 for BI Publisher database (actually it is simple is not possible that the BI Publisher database requires accents case-sensitive)

    When you create the new database in SQL Server, you can choose the ranking (go with the Latin 1, general CS_AS)

    While we also, you will need to set the read_committed_snapshot otherwise you will get just in another problem.

    After creating the BI Publisher database in SQL Server and set the correct classification, run the following query

    change the value read_committed_snapshot database on

    Do you think that the very next step before anything else touching the BI Publisher databases as otherwise there will be problems from the read_committed_snapshot because it requires no other access to the database (if the query takes more than 15 seconds, remove the database and start over).

    Concerning

  • D20 problem of configuration of Windows Server 2008 R2 / 1 x SATA HD / 4 x SATA SSD

    Hi all

    I have a Mod D20. 4155 and want to use next to it is by default SATA HDD SATA SSD four disks of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 R2 will be the OS with the use of its Hyper-V features.

    I have Aproblem with detection of drives in the configuration of the operating system. All 5 disks are visible in the Marvell controller BIOS setup. It is possible to configure a RAID on the SSD, etc, but I don't "see" any disk in the configuration of the operating system. I tried to load additional drivers in the part of the Setup utility GUI, but it did not work. I tried with the driver Marcell SAS and Intel Matrix driver, both located at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/migr-72280.html.

    Suggestions for the BIOS of the PC / BIOS Marvell / OS installation configurations?

    Best regards, Chrischmi

    Hi all

    I found the solution myself. After detection, the default drive is a SATA drive (and), I got the idea to test it on the Intel SATA controller. It was possible to install the spirit of the machine the disks attached to the Intel controller. After installation, I went to Device Manager and installed the driver of Lenovo Marvell, rekindled the Marvell controller disk and started the. Successfully. Yes!

    On my way to the solution, I had another problem: in the setup of Windows GUI part, I got an error of 0 x 80300001 with Lenovo's Intel SATA driver. It was not possible to install windows Server on the SATA drive with reason0x80300001. very helpful post, Microsoft! (-) I decided to use the default Microsoft for the Intel SATA controller driver after a reboot. Installer executed well, but ended with an error 0 x 80070017 and problems of copy of (unknown) files. The solution (found after a few hours...) was to burn a new installation of Windows Server DVD. I don't want to talk about it anymore...

  • Use of guaranteed Toshiba HDD 200 on Server 2008 x 64

    Hello
    I have this problem.
    I got HDD 200 and I would use it on Windows Server 2008 x 64.

    System to recognize the unit outside but software fingerprint is unable to rum. I think that there are no drivers signed for this operating system.
    I looked on the technical reference and there is no information on the supported operating system.

    Is thare any software updated to do this drive running on Windows server 2008 x 64?

    Greetings to all,
    Stefano

    I also think drivers can be problematic.
    Toshiba doesn't generally support these operating systems and you will not be able to find any drivers for server operating system.

    Have you tried to use a similar product, but other manufacturers?

  • Cannot update/modify files - Server 2008 r2 for 2012 r2 upgrade

    I have a server that has been upgraded to Windows Server 2008 r2 to Windows Server 2012 r2. Before the upgrade, I could change the files in the directory c:\test. After the upgrade, I am unable to update when you are connected to the local computer. I can refresh the files from another machine via a UNC path, however. When I try to update files via the local computer, she wants me "save under" and says "Access denied" when I try to replace the file. I can rename it and save it in the directory, but not to replace the current file. When I check the effective permissions on the file, it says "Total control" and I am an administrator on the machine. However, if I add my account to the folder with the "total control" I can edit and save the file. So, I have a workaround in place, but I want to fix the real problem.

    Troubleshooting steps:

    • Turn off UAC
    • Attrib on folder and file settings
    • Removed all permissions and added to the folder
    • Copy/paste the contents of the folder new folder
    • I can create a new folder and the file and modify the content, if they are new
    • gpupdate/force
    • restarted several times
