  I don't know, it's always because as the high utilization of the processor on a particular server or what. We have done several successful and trails w.r.to SAN, memory and performance optimization, but everything seems OK but even we in the face of this failover as a routine and fine.

  Can you suggest me on the subject that... What all could be the possible reasons for this.

  Better suggest me the solution from your end.

  Also any suggestions and comments in brackets

  + Is the place pilot a gradation is a possible solution? [Even it will not be successful on one of the test of trail]

  + Increase SAN can be the solution? [Sufficient SAN is already there that again I ask]

  + Or memory problem? [Same memory is sufficient to perform the work]

  + It is not particularly over a certain period, as at the end of week or Monthened.

  This shift has become a routine job, same everything seems fine? Please advise suggest his irritates my head a lot.

• Automatic failover with Transport and apply Lag fails with ORA-16798

  Hello
  I configured a physical database maximum Performance, accelerated failover mode standby. I set FastStartFailoverLagLimit to 3 hours (10800 seconds).

  If I understand the Oracle documentation, Fast-Start failover should work with Max Performance, as long the Transport timeout is whithin the FastStartFailoverLagLimit.

  
  So I started a few scripts, generated some loading, so I have a Transport and apply the shift of 3-4 Minutes.
  Then I killed pmon to cause an automatic failover.

  Failover failed with ORA-16798.

  I know, there is Note 846087.1 , which describes the problem, but I thought that automatic failover should work in this configuration.
  Is this a bug or am I wrong?

  Thank you very much in advance.

  The FastStartFailoverLagLimit property specifies the amount of data, in seconds, during which the standby database target can

  delay on the main database on the recovery plan applied. If again applied Eve point database notes that many

  seconds of the primary database redo point generation, accelerated tipping is allowed.

  Errors show a gap for sequences 34-37, which is not optimal for a fast failover.

  Even if FastStartFailoverLagLimit is set to 3 hours, there is too much data loss for the standby site because newspapers are not available on the backup server and the Broker cannot activate the Pb of the day before.

  I recommend to to lean on increase the bandwidth network.

  Thank you

  Hi oraman,

  You can check the broker for this config. Connect to the database with dgmgrl and get the config database:

  See the verbose XXX database;

  The parameter 'StaticConnectIdentifier' will tell you what data Guard Broker expects to find when it needs to restart a database. You must create a static entry to the listener with the service_name in this setting.

  Make sure you have the "SERVER = DEDICATED" in the connection string. If you set this explicit, default oracle shared a connection via the server connection, which could cause your question.

• Storage vMotion allows automatic failover to the replicated copy?

  With vSphere replication allow "Storage vMotion" automatic failover to the copy replicated in case of a failure of the data store?

  Trying to figure out a solution where if A SAN fails, we can install SAN B to pick up without any interruption of service.

  Welcome to the community - Storage vMotion does not provide this type of functionality, you will need to get to the VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM), but it will be some time - failure

• Automatic failover

  In a tightly controlled environment, where very little changes - Protection groups are static and the unique Recovery Plan is well defined - is it possible to automatically run the Recovery Plan if the instantiation of the right conditions can be measured/quantified? With PowerShell example?

  I know there are risks with this approach and war business vs. technical to set and meet the RTOS will be delivered on time.

  I'm just curious to know if this is possible and how it could be achieved. Either way, a layer of virtualized storage is not an option.

  TIA,

  HamR.

  I'll tell you it's impossible...

  I was talking with Carter Shaklin (MP for VMware PowerCLI) on what tasks could be automated with powershell for MRS.

  I take it a good sign that VMware begins the process of powershell enabling their products to senior management as they did with ESX/vCenter.

  I would be VERY surprised to see this SDK for MRS. result would expose to ordinary users object/properties/methods required to actually trigger an execution of a DR plan. I think that VMware remained engaged in the position that order to issue a 'GO' on the DR plan will require high-level approval of management of class C first...

  If you are looking for something that would allow an automatic failover - really watch you any other 3rd party sellers availability products that allow you to create emotionally a "stretched" cluster The problem with these technicians, is that they are NOT designed for multisite DR, but the failure of a component - such as the death of a host or VM...

• By comparing the different editions for an automatic failover

  Hi all

  I need to select a product of virtualization to a new project (VMware, Microsoft or Citrix). I did a lot of reading and I'm leaning towards VMware but I'm worried about the cost. The condition is to have two host computers physical (for redundancy) connected to an external storage with the possibility of performing automatic failover, while if one host fails other pics upwards. I also need to be able to back up the entire configuration, including all the VMS tape so that I can recover if the whole system is out of service.

  My question is that the high availability feature that is included in the Standard edition can do, or if I should also get the functionality DRS and VMotion which are only in the Enterprise edition.

  Kind regards

  No interruption of service there is nothing from now...

  HA will ensure that your virtual machines are fed to another node in a cluster, HA has allowed, in case of failure of the host or an isolated situation. HA may also be able to on a VM when VM honor as a characteristic of expermintal.

  DRS will be dynamically balancing the resources in the cluster and the availability of resources for each virtual computer.

  vMotion is a live migration of a virtual machine in a cluster or farm of hosts with compitable CPUs. But the ESX Server hosting work inorder to facilitate a vMotion of a VM.

  SVMotion is a live migration of a virtual machine in data warehouses, such as local storage storage SAN/iSCSI based, while the virtual machine is still in service.

  SRM is the site recovery Manager, which allows you to switch to another site in the same set site is inaccessible.

  Fault tolerance is the next feature that allows you to run your H/W failure continuously, without interruption of service in case of VMs or any other type of failure of the host.

  For now, you should be good with the standard edition, which supports H, since no interruption of service, it is not what you are looking for immediately.

  I hope this helps.

• Stop Vista automatically on the Satellite A200-14F (PSAECE)

  System stops - but re - start automatically. Have updated the BIOS, but still no luck. Have tried all the settings on Vista power options.

  For me, it looks a bit like a problem of overheating or a problem of Vista system.

  Let's talk about overheating;

  Usually the laptop stops automatically if the temperature reaches a critical threshold. Then the notebooks overheat protection stops the laptop to prevent material damage.
  Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because notebooks modules of cooling don't work properly.
  You can try to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.
  It s a really useful tool for blowing air even if the railings of cooling and get rid of the dust and debris. These sprays, you can buy a portable computer/computer dealer.

  But this problem could be related to a software problem;
  In this case, I would recommend reinstallation of the operating system with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

• Word no longer works after Vista automatic update

  It is now the third time that I had this problem. When Word is open and my computer automatically applies an update to Vista, Word doesn't work more once the computer restarts.  Word opens, but it is not functional. It does not, will not answer even the scroll bar. I checked and the latest updates (13 August) have nothing to do with the word: they are all Vista and Outlook related. I managed to lose access to the resolution I found the other two times this happened and would appreciate an overview of how to solve this problem. I am also concerned because it happened with each update of Vista.

• Windows Vista automatically locks the computer.

  I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 with Windows Vista business with service pack 2 installed and kept up-to-date. I noticed that, after a few minutes of inactivity on my computer, Windows locks automatically the computer. By that I mean it will act as if I had pressed the "lock" button and return to the sign in the display. I am running Norton 360 antivirus program and have in the past to run Mcafee. Does anyone know why the event occurred, or particularly how to solve this problem, because it has become more than a nuisance.
  Thank you.

• Put Vista automatic update froze my computer

  During a systematic automatic upgrade, my computer froze on step 11 of 12.  I can't access anything be it because it was part of the closing process.  I have Windows Vista running on a computer for two years.  It's been locked for more than an hour.  He says not to disable or stop computer.  I'm a little worried that I'll lose my information if I just hold down the power button on the CPU it out.  I don't know what to expect when I try to turn it back on. What should I do?

  Hi AshMR,

  If the system is blocked and you have already pressed the power button, there hopefully return you to windows. However if it does not, you can try these steps to help you save in windows:

• How to stop windows vista automatic updates

  Whenever I connect to the internet, I get an update automatic windows vista. This drains my allowance of month for the internet in a few minutes and I can't find an option to stop the download updates automatically.

  It's cost me money, I pay to go on my internet allowance, and I can't stop it!

  See the following articles

  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/turn-automatic-updating-on-or-off
  • http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-how-Windows-installs-or-notifies-you-about-updates

  You should not receive updates each time you turn on the computer. Microsoft releases security updates the second Tuesday of each month at 10:00 am PST. No security updates may appear to be the fourth Tuesday of the month. Updates to the Windows Defender definitions are issued twice a week. Windows Security Essentials (if you have one) will be updated daily. There are occasional updates outside this cycle. You should check your update history where an update fails to install and is given several times.

• Vista automatically restarts often

  I am running Vista business, my system reboots automatically 4 - 5 times a day. If it turns out to be a hardware problem, can I replace the motherboard and keep my windows license?

  Hello

  If you make hardware changes the options depend somewhat on the question of whether you have a retail version
  Vista or a manufacturer OEM - see this link for more information:

  Windows Vista Activation FAQ
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/quick-start/activation-FAQ.aspx

  Most of the Bluescreens are software so use these troubleshooting methods.

  Look in the Event Viewer to see if something is reported on those.

  MyEventViewer - free - a simple alternative in the standard Windows Event Viewer.
  TIP - Options - Advanced filter allows you to see a period of time instead of the entire file.

  Also this, so you can see the probable bluescreens.

  Windows Vista restarts automatically if your computer encounters an error that requires him to plant.

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Here are a few ways to possibly fix the blue screen issue. If you could give the info to blue screen
  This would help. Such as ITC and 4 others entered at the bottom left. And another error
  information such as the STOP codes and info like IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and similar messages.

  As examples:

  BCCode: 116
  BCP1: 87BC9510
  BCP2: 8C013D80
  BCP3: 00000000
  BCP4: 00000002

  or in this format:

  Stop: 0 x 00000000 (oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxoooooooo oxooooooooo)
  Tcpip.sys - address blocking 0 x 0 00000000 000000000 DateStamp 0 x 000000000

  It is an excellent tool for displaying the blue screen error information
