VMotion Question and Exchange CCR nodes

• Server of VMotion of mailbox Exchange causing interruptions in service of the virtual IP address and Cluster name?

  Hi people,

  Is this expected behavior with VMware, when you do VMotion for mailbox Exchange Server 2007 SP1 of the JRC in the case of DR, he stopped the production node?

  Because during the VMotion virtual IP address and NOMCLUSTER does not not in the massive blackout of ping, which causes in the box the production mailbox.

  the solution was to turn off instance after the VMotion DR do fail over to the node of production again.

  No explanation for this incident would be great.

  The problem with your Exchange databases failover to the other node in the cluster during vMotion is due to heart rate is lost between the nodes during the migration.  This is the same problem that appears in Exchange 2010, when you perform a vMotion and there are solutions documented (of Microsoft) to get around that.

  Before discussing make these solutions work with Exchange 2007 and Windows Server 2008, I looked up the political support of Microsoft for Exchange 2007 and virtualization.  Short version - vMotion is not supported in Exchange 2007.  See below:

  Microsoft supports continuous replication Exchange cluster (CCR) and single copy clusters (SCC) in environments of hardware virtualization, provided that the virtualization environment does not not based on hypervisor clustering or migration solutions (for example, Hyper-V migration fast or ESX from VMware vMotion) that are configured automatically failover or move servers from mailboxes that are run as hosts between root servers.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794548 (EXCHG.80) .aspx

  This description sounds a bit like a mix between vMotion and vSphere HA to be honest, but it is directly from Microsoft for Exchange 2007 support page.

  For me, if Exchange is a critical application, then that's the end of the story and I wouldn't try to use vMotion.  I switch on services between the nodes in the CCR cluster and stop the passive node when I needed to perform the ESX host maintenance, etc..

  If you want to test at least to see if you can get vMotion to work, you can adjust the cluster heartbeat timeout settings in Windows to leave more time for the vMotion to complete before the cluster fails over to the passive node.  Instructions for how to do this are in the blog post following (bearing in mind that, although the blog is specially for Exchange 2010, the controls are Windows commands that should also work with Exchange 2007):

  http://www.thelowercasew.com/vSphere-and-Exchange-Admins-can-live-in-harmony-Microsoft-finally-supports-HA-and-VMotion

  So in short - you can probably do vMotion works correctly by changing cluster heartbeat timeout values, but it is probably not worth since the configuration is not supported anyway.  If you want to adjust the values of pulsation of cluster you test this in a development environment before making the change in production.

  One last bit - if your organization has a Microsoft Premier support agreement, then Microsoft will probably support the configuration even if the documentation says that it is not supported.  Check if your organization has this level of an agreement of support and if so, check with your Microsoft representative as vMotion for Exchange 2007 configuration is supported.  Make sure you explicitly Exchange 2007 because we know that it is supported for Exchange 2010.

• SBS Server 2003 and Exchange Server - need access, but don't have HARD drive

  Hello

  A couple of years our sever dies completely, but we kept the drive HARD, but unfortunately not the CD with the software or the software key. So, I now have 2HDD, the original boot partition and the other with the data. now as well clean and fully functional and connected to an old desk. I can see everything beautiful, but I can't boot from the original boot drive (I tried simply disconnecting desktop boot disk and windows for 1 second logo shows a d, then chucks back me to the initial charge (BACK?).) The point is that I need to boot into SBS2003 with exchange server installed in order to access a handful of old emails that have become extremely important, as well as to run an old version of Filemaker server, which can run on any newer operating system

  I tried, by the way, a converter for swap files and I can see the directories but I think that, unless I paid $xxx.00 for something, which I can't afford now, so I will not get the emails and all attachments back.

  So my question is this - is anyway that I can use the original startup disk in a new hardware environment to restore sbs 200 and Exchange if you work? I paid huge sums for both, so I think I should be able to use it again!

  Thank you very much

• LabVIEW 7.1 IVI - C Wrappers and VISA property node do not work together?

  Hello world

  I want to use the property node VISA with LabVIEW 7.1 Wrapper of two companies different well known instrument, Rodhe-Schwarz and Agilent Technologies.
  The two companies releasead their IVI - C for NI LabVIEW 7.1 drivers version NI Instrument Driver network and they are ready to be installed and used.

  I found a bug manifested that the LabVIEW 7.1 version that the bug is not present in whhen versions 8.0 LabVIEW or LabVIEW 8.6 than these IVI LabVIEW of LabVIEW 7.1 wrappers are used.

  Everyone could exeperience this bug if they have LabVIEW 7.1 installed and are trying to use the version of LabVIEW 7.1 of these wrappers which are published in NI Instrument Driver Network under the links below.

  Agilent ag81150ni IVI Driver for LabVIEW 7.1 install from here. Used in simulation that by definition simulate = 1

  http://sine.NI.com/apps/UTF8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=55798957B1A633BDE0440003BA7CCD...

  Rodhe Schwarz rsngpt IVI Driver for LabVIEW 7.1 install from here. Used in simulation that by definition simulate = 1

  http://sine.NI.com/apps/UTF8/niid_web_display.download_page?p_id_guid=E3B19B3E91D6659CE034080020E748...

  After the installation of these two complete drivers close LabVIEW 7.1, if it was open, and then restart LabVIEW 7.1. You can see two new ready to be used as LabVIEW 7.1 IVI drivers in the LabVIEW Instrument Driver pallet wrappers in a LabVIEW 7.1 VI test.

  Open a new white VI and of the use of the Instrument Driver Palette two VI known, initialized with Options.vi and Close.vi adding them on the block diagram, connect all THMs. Accept all default settings except simulate parameter which must be defined as = 1 simulation.

  The two VI run OK mode of simulation without errors.

  Now select a property in the advanced Panel of VISA node and press this node between 'Initialize them with Options' and 'Close' VI and make all necessary in-out connections and error.

  Run these two simple screws of simulation

  1. When I run pilot Rodhe Schwarz IVI the property node going OK until the end. No error
  2. Whne I run Agilent IVI driver the property node is always out of the error Code 7.

  Question is why they behave different with regard to the property of node when it is used with the LabVIEW 7.1 envelopes? BTW, the failing VI of wrappers Agilent LabVIEW 7.1 works very well in labVIEW 8.0 and 8.6. That means that this problem is limited only the version of LabVIEW 7.1.

  I posted the same question on the set of LabVIEW and nobody chose their interest in there so I decided to post here. As this question is also linked to IVI, VISA drivers, it is possible the person of this group to get a clue about this annoying behavior.

  I've attached screenshots of the PNG files that show the difference of different behavior of VISA property between these two drivers node.

• Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) size of 4 TB of 10.2.0.5 at 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).

  Want to migrate the database (4node RAC) 4 TB size of 10.2.0.5(8 rompt = 4 prim/4 veille) to 11.2.0.4 on the new servers where the new type servers Primary (4 nodes) and Eve (4 nodes).  So with minimum downtime I have restore and recover again on 11.2.0.4 server must then clone that to create the day before.   Here, my question is can I take 0 backupp level before hand and restore on target (new) then primary at the time to leave the downtime take backup of level 1 of 10g and then retrieve it on 11g (new server) after successful recovery I'll perform clone to form eve of database on the new server. does this strategy work? If it works, can someone suggest me steps how can I need recover with backup after restoring the backup of level 0 on 11g. Like should I upgrade before you retrieve it with level 1 backup or I can update and then recover with the level 1 backup from the old server to the new server.

  Here is former servers of RHEL 5 version and new servers are RHEL 6 release.

  1 backup L0

  2 restore L0

  3. L1 and ArchiveLogs database backup

  4. copy BackupPieces L1 and ArchiveLog BackupPieces on new server

  5 CATALOGUE START WITH... to catalog the BackupPieces

  6. TOGETHER until lastavailable SNA / Archivelog + 1

  7 RECOVER DATABASE (should automatically identify the L1s and to apply ArchiveLogs)

  8 STOP

  9 START UPGRADE

  10. run catupgrd.sql

  You should also take care on the locations of the data file, dump, instance settings destinations, all link database from the database, connectivity application etc.

• Creation of vMotion, management and iSCSI

  Hi all

  I have doubts that I'd like to have some clarification.

  First vMotion and traffic management.

  I have two network cards. My question is, should I create IDE oucederomsurlesecondport VMkernel for each one (and adding the vMotion Option and management traffic) adding a different IP address for each and put the two in a vSwtich but the example; an active nic1 for vMotion and nic2 Eve and the management of the same traffic, nic2 active and standby nic1. With this, I have two different networks, but by using two NICs in case of failure.

  Or create a VMkernel and activate them both on the same VMkernel and put the two active network cards.

  What is the best choice, or the best performance?

  I have 6 guests on this cluster, so I need to do this in on the hosts.

  First I use QLOGIC

  The iSCSI side, should I use VMkernel Port binding? Or just use a normal VMkernel with my wihout VLAN iSCSI definition of any Biding VMkernel Port on iSCSI Software adapter?

  I have both running, but do not know which is the best way to get the best performance.

  Thank you

  JL

  Nice day!

  In summary, you should do something like that.

  vSwitch0 - Mgmt & vMotion

  ====================

  vmk0

  --------

  Management

  Uplink 1: assets

  Uplink 2: Passive

  vmk1

  --------

  vMotion

  Uplink 1: Passive

  Uplink 2: Active

  vSwitch1 - iSCSI

  ====================

  vmk2

  --------

  iSCSI traffic

  Uplink 3: assets

  If you only have an uplink for iSCSI traffic, you don't have to set up the binding of ports.  iSCSI ports is for the multipath.  If you only have one NIC for iSCSI, you cannot have MPIO.  You need two or multiple NICs or uplinks to the multipath.

  Now, for the management and the links of vMotion, I suggest using only an asset and a liability for each type of traffic.  Although vSphere 5 has the multi-NIC vMotion functionality, the idea of separating vMotion and traffic management is to separate vMotion and its important traffic in your management traffic bursts, which happens to include your traffic HA (also important).  You have certainly not * have * to set it up like that, but maintaining vMotion on his own physical link will keep walking on your management traffic.  In the case of a defective cable, I'm sure you would rather a cluttered link as no management or vMotion traffic.

  All the best,

  Mike

• AD and Exchange provisioning is successful but fails to create user IOM

  Hello
  I try to configure exchange 2010 by using Exchange Connector that I customized. When I create user in IOM, AD provisoning begins, then AD user is created, then Exchange provisioning starts & Exchange gets put in service. At the moment where it all happens, IOM page displays error on the page and the user is created.
  Now when you search user with that ID, then no user found in IDM. When user is created in AD and Exchange.
  Please help me to solve the issue.
  
  
  
  Thank you

  These problems are solved by the elimination of the technique of possibilities. If you think that Remote Manager is the cause of questions, just don't call it. Fix rather just tcCompleteTask.

  If the user begins to have created then, fine. The reason why we Remote Manager.

  If not then remove all custom as pre or post handler, if any, pre fill adapters, if any, custom, if any process tasks. Hope you got the theme behind this technique.

  Try to create the user after the removal of each component.

  The moment you are able to create users, you have identified the problem.

  All the best.

• New to VMware and Exchange 2010

  Hello

  I'm new to VMware and have some questions about the installer.  We just bought a HP DL380 G7 server and Exchange 2010.  I want to virtualize this server with a BES.  I'm trying to understand the best way to proceed.  We also have a Dell EqualLogic iSCSI SAN (PS4000).  Wouldn't it be better for me to boot from SAN and have ESxi installed on the SAN?  Or would it be preferable for ESxi installed on the server and have my VM hosted/installed on the SAN?  Thanks for the help.

  Hello owblueiii,

  I almose same infrastructure such as this, when I started the virtualization process was confused in this place, finally, we kept the boot on local, VMs oniSCSI SAN.

  advantages: 1. because if you have any questions you can the Como.

  2 and also a little difficult to troubleshoot if you have the on iscsi san boot partition.

  3. you can register your vms on san iscsi timing if you want the new ESX installation.

  Hope it's useful to your question.
