Windows 10 upgrade and Migration of virtual machines

• Question about MSD + upgrade and migration applications

  Hi all

  I am running:

  TMS 13.2

  TMSPE 1.0

  The two co reside on a Windows 2003 server, pointint in an external box of SQL.

  We also organize TCX 2.3 on our Exchange.

  Now that our server guys have * finally * installed the service pack required on the Exchange, we are ready to migrate to TMSXE but also to upgrade the TMS and TMSPE.

  So we want ot go to:

  TMS 14.2.1

  TMSPE 1.1

  TMSXE 3.1

  In addition to migrate a Windows server 2008R2 TMS + TMSPE.

  I know the different individual guides to upgrade as well as the dependencies between TMS and TMSPE/TMSXE versions.  I'm hoping to do the upgrade and migration all in one and am hoping to get some tips on the best order to do everything.

  My first question - decomission the 13.2/TMSPE server 1.1 TMS, that I can install TMS 14.2.1 and TMSPE 1.1 on the Windows Server 2008, they point to the relevant databases and allow upgrading from there? Or do I need install the new versions TMS/TMSPE on the old server, first of all, upgrade the databases and then migrate?

  Second question - before all this, I run the TMSXE migration tool to extract the data 2.3 TCX, uninstall TCX of Exchange, TMS upgrades and then install TMSXE 3.0/3.1 at the end?

  As all this is running on the virtual machine I'll instant just in case.  Advice on the issues listed above, or general advice about these upgrades would be appreciated

  Hi Nick, IMHO, I suggest you first migrate your 2.3 TCX to TMSXE 3.0.2 by this TMSXE 3.0 installation guide, and then pass the TMS and PE later.

  Yes, VM snapshot backup option before any upgrade is fine.

• Problem with Migration hot virtual machines Hyper-V

  Dear support

  I am facing problem in Live Migration of Virtual Machine in Windows 2012 of Hyper-V R2 cluster. Here are the details for my current setup.

  Two windows 2012 R2 Datacenter even care Server (HV01 and HV02) both in cluster

  A Virtual Machine created the Volume share of Cluster (c:\Cluster storage\...)

  A network adapter dedicated to the management of server-> 10.0.1.11 (HV01) and 10.0.1.13 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated to Hyper v Virtual Machines-> 10.0.1.12 (HV01) and 10.0.1.14 (HV02) and allow networking option is disabled.

  A network card for the heart beats-> 10.0.20.1 (HV01) and 10.0.20.2 (HV02)

  A network card dedicated for Live Migration-> 10.10.10.50 (HV01) and 10.10.10.51 (HV02) and chosen to be used only for the live migration fails on cluster network settings

  I added the Virtual Machine Cluster Failover successfully without error or warning. When I do a quick migration his works fine but when I do live migration his error giving 21502.

  Upgrade to Windows 8.1 of Windows Vista or Windows XP
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/upgrade-from-Windows-Vista-XP-tutorial

  Note: If your PC is currently provided with pre-installed XP, the processor (CPU) is perhaps not able to support any version of Windows 8 or 8.1 as 8 or 8.1 requires the CPU supported the NX bit. That one version of the Intel Pentium 4 a NX supports, if you purchased a late model XP computer comes with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, then chances are that it supports NX.

• Migration of virtual machines to vSphere 4.1 to vSphere 6.0

  As the title eludes to, we are standing up a new physics 6.0 Server vCenter Server and need to migrate virtual machines of 4.1 6.0 guest hosts.  I'd love to take the time to create a script that does the following; However, before heading down this path, I wanted to do a ping of the group to see if someone has done something like this before or have pointers to scripts that perform some of these actions already.  Some background and concept:

  • Running 4.1.
  • A new physical Center of vCenter 6.0 will be deployed side-by-side with 4.1.
  • The existing configuration of vSphere HA allows for 1-2 guests down without impact to the virtual machines.
  • The two environment and will be Cisco N1KV, SAN access shared for the same data storages.
  • A new vCenter will be lifted.
  • A single host is identified and VMs evacuated to the remaining hosts.
  • This host will be in maintenance mode, removed from the cluster and close.
  • A clean install of ESXi 6 will be done and set up spec.
  • N1KV will be deployed.

  To digress on the details at the moment... Now markets PowerCLI desired.  This idea is ad hoc and on the fly, so as I write this.

  • identify all the virtual machines associated with a specific data store - will need to work with the local client to schedule downtime for virtual machines
  • Stop the virtual machine
  • Remove the VM of the vCenter 4.1 inventory
  • to connect to vCenter 6.0
  • Add the virtual machine to the vCenter 6.0 inventory (and once we have passed the first host in the new cluster, automatically place the virtual machine by using the DRS)
  • Reconfigure the vmnic with the new Cisco 1000V dvs (will be the same name on both sides, but has a different ID)
  • pull in the keys and the values to a CSV and advancedsetting set to harden
  • Turn on the virtual machine
  • Perhaps a test of ping for the NETWORK card to check connectivity

  The order in which the steps are performed can be switched around, as long as the desired end result is the same: migration effectively virtual machines between two disparate solutions with single medium sharing as a data store.  In which I realize will always be VMFS3.  New data stores VMFS-5 is another task for another time.

  Thank you for your time, suggestions, links, etc...

  @LucD - hi.

  These steps are quite possible with PowerCLI.

  See the script after skeleton, he probably needs some adjustments to fit your environment and requirements

  $dsName = "xyz".

  $vm = get - VM - $dsName data store

  Stop-VMGuest - VM $vm - confirm: $false

  Remove-VM - $vm VM - confirm: $false

  Disconnect-VIServer-Server vc41 - confirm: $false

  $vc6 = Connect-VIServer-Server vc6

  $newVM = $vm | New-VM - DiskPath $_. ExtensionData.Config.Files.VmPathName - confirm: $false

  # Suppose a CSV file with

  # Key, value

  # key1, value1

  # key2, value2

  $advSettings = import-Csv - UseCulture advSettings.csv

  {foreach ($obj in $newVM)

  $advSettings | %{

  Get-AdvancedSetting - $obj entity - name $_. Key |

  Game-AdvancedSetting - value of $_. Value - confirm: $false

  }

  }

• Upgrade and migrate from 9.3.1 to 11.1.2.2 - Please suggest

  Modules: HFM and FDM

  Could you please suggest a better way to do it?

  Details:

  1. whether to go 11.1.2.2 fresh install ?

  2. What are the material and the requirements of the system S/W?

  3. other difficulties?

  4. If we opt for the upgrade 9 to 11?

  5. equipment & system S/W required? and the steps to do it?

  Migration of the 9th version HFM and FDM app 11

  6. What are the best way to do it?

  Kindly help me!

  Note: Please do not refer read me the Oracle links (Introduction - Oracle EPM System 11.1.2.2 Documentation Library) docs. need your valuable suggestions.

  Thank you

  Hello

  My first question is why 11.1.2.2 and not 11.1.2.3? 11.1.2.3 seems to solve a lot of 11.1.2.2 questions.

  1. my first answer would be for a new installation because you have to use the latest OS and hardware... If you're on Hyperion 9, you must have Windows 2003 server and at least 5 years equipment, correct?

  2 check the Oracle documents

  3. There are a lot of challenges at the level of the application, but this depends on your application works. Not all users have the same apps and therefore do not have the same questions.

  4. you will need to install a 11.1.1.4 system for the upgrade of the application, but you have to move to 11.1.2.x

  6. I suggest you build a new application with a new design... just upgrade an older application will not use the last HFM/FDM modules...

  Kind regards

• Help the migration of virtual machines

  My company is changing the data center in a co-location facility.  How the migration is performed, there are ESXi hosts and storage shared at Camp already.  Data warehouses are replicated to the storage to the camp of data stores with the same name.  The plan was to stop the virtual machines in the data center, removal of the inventory, browse the data store of one of the colo ESXi servers and add the virtual machine to inventory... Rinse and repeat.

  The problem we encountered had to do with the fact that each virtual machine has VMDK on several data stores.  This process only acknowledged the change of the primary VMDK, VMX file was always looking for 2 other volumes on the old warehouses of data, which could not be accessed camp.

  I have to think that there is a way to generate scripts to avoid this problem to occur.  If we know the identifier for the new storage volume, we should be able to generate scripts, Yes?

  I would like the script to read the VM names from a txt file, remove the virtual machine from the inventory on host1, browse the host2 data store (which is at Camp) and add the machine virtual inventory and then remove and re-add the other volumes, based on the name of the data store (if hard disk 2 is on datastore2 then use 9d0fac87...)

  Any help would be grately appreciated!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello, BenLiebowitz-

  I looked through your script.  You were just on a good amount of it.  There are a couple of things to tweak and a number of things to correct.  Here is the script of update from what I've seen would / should change (and here is the explanation of the things that I've changed the code).

  # export list of Staging VMsGet-Folder -Name "Staging" | Get-VM | select Name | Sort Name | Export-CSV "c:\staging.csv" -NoTypeInformation
  
  # Get Staging VMs$stg = Get-Folder -Name "Staging"
  
   # Shutdown VMs (cleanly)$stg | Get-VM | Shutdown-VMGuest -Confirm:$false
  
  # Remove Hard Disk 2 and 3$stg = $null$stg = Get-Folder -Name "Staging"    ## getting Staging folder again$hdName2 = "Hard disk 2"$hdName3 = "Hard disk 3"$stg | Get-VM | Get-HardDisk -Name $hdName2,$hdName3 | Remove-HardDisk -Confirm:$false
  
  # Remove VMs from InventoryGet-Folder -Name "Staging" | Get-Inventory | Remove-Inventory -Confirm:$false
  
  ## then, disconnect from the vCenter to which you were connected
  
  ## then, when connected to the vCenter server in the co-location facility:# Add VMs to Inventory$esxhost = "prpp6-vmwhst23.i3global.net"$datastore1 = "someDatastoreName" ## need to set this value!
  
  ## and, add hard disks back to VMsforeach ($row in (Import-Csv c:\staging.csv)) {    $vmName = $row.Name    $vmxfile = "[$datastore1] $vmName/$vmName.vmx"    $vmNewVM = New-VM -VMFilePath $vmxfile -VMhost $esxhost
  
      # Add hard Disks 2 and 3    New-HardDisk -VM $vmNewVM -DiskPath "[transient_deviceid] $vm/$vm.vmdk"    New-HardDisk -VM $vmNewVM -DiskPath "[data_deviceid] $vm/$vm.vmdk"} ## end foreach
  

  Comments about what I've updated / changed:

  • To stop the virtual machines, you should be able to all channel the results of Get - VM directly to Shutdown-VMGuest (I rewrote which)
  • to remove the hard drive, 2 and 3, you can use the cmdlet Remove-hard drive and do it in the pipeline (I rewrote which)
    • the ' $vm = Get - VM $stg | Get-show"line in the foreach loop was going to be problematic, as you had: '$vm' contains managed objects views for all the virtual machines in the folder of staging, not only of the virtual machine currently being acted on this iteration, so things have been broken
  • the remove inventory line, you might want to add "-confirm: $false", as the default behavior may be at the request of confirmation
  • the "$esxhost = prpp6 - vmwhst23.i3global .net' line needed quotes the host name
  • you do not use the $fields variable anywhere, which can be removed
  • I've renamed the variable '$add' to '$row' for a little more clarity
  • in the part that adds the virtual machines to the inventory in the co - lo vCenter:
    • the part that tries to set the value of "$vm" is not quite right; I've updated that (and changed the name of the variable "$vmName" for clarity)
    • you did not initialize the variable "$datastore1" - you must set a value for it (and how you use it assumes that all of the virtual machines in the co - lo facility are on the same data store - is this the case?)
    • you need square brackets around the name of store data and quotes around the value for $vmxfile
    • for the call of New - VM, you might consider providing a folder with - location (if you want the VMs newly saved to a particular folder)
    • for calls of New-hard drive, you need quotes around the value - DiskPath

  I would give that a shot with just a single machine and see how things are going.  Let us know the result.

• Require a process step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new VMware ESX hypervisor

  Hello

  I'm looking for the method step by step for the migration of virtual machines to new host ESX Migration both cold and hot.

  Scenario - I have two data centers running ESX host stand-alone (with VM) in Europe. I need to build the new ESX host in new Dataceter to Singapore.

  Need prerequisites, the methods available for migrate VMWARE virtual has new host ESX (in the new data center) with minimum downtime.

  It will be great if you can enumerate the markets or redirect me to documentation that I can use to create detailed steps as the target host compatibility check on VMs and so on.

  Please advice

  The steps are correct. The virtual machine must be turned off (step 3).

• Best way to migrate a virtual machine from local drive to Cluster?

  Hello

  For historical reasons, we set up a virtual machine in the local disk of the ESX host.  This host is not connected to the San, where there is one group of another 3 ESX host.

  We would like to remove this standalone ESX host and migrate the virtual computer to the Cluster.  Should what tools I use?  Can use us the converter to do?  If so, when we connect to the Infrastructure of VI, does connect to the version independent host ESX OR import this virtual machine to an ESX Hos in the cluster?

  Thank you

  Hello

  your ESX host is connected to your vCenter?

  If Yes just turn off the virtual machine right click in vSphere client and choose migrate. Select destination storage and ESX server and it will be migrated.

  If it's not I turn off the virtual machine and just copy the whole directory of the VM on the new ESX Server with scp on ssh.

• Upgrade and migration of V11.1.1.3 to V11.1.2.2

  Hi all

  Currently, we use Hyperion Essbase Server V11.1.1.3 in Windows Server 2003 R2.

  We are in a plan to upgrade and migrate to Essbase V11.1.2.2 server in Windows Server 2008.

  We use only Essbase w/o Shared services.

  Could you please provide me with the following information:

  (1) the question of whether LCM Utility can be used to perform this upgrade and Migration of V11.1.1.3 to V11.1.2.2 (do not use Shared Services)?

  (2) any of the documents w.r.t. this upgrade and Migration using the LCM?

  Kind regards

  LCM is part of Shared Services, so if you do use shared services, so you won't be able to use.

• Commands to start and stop a virtual machine hosted by VMware player

  I need to start and stop the virtual computer from a script as I could do this by selecting the ' power on ' and his 'guest stop' or at least 'power off' options of the GUI of VMware player.

  If a control interface is not available, is available if I update to VMware Workstation?

  With the player, the VIX API is a separate download (on the same page you downloaded the install drive in), so I guess you will have to install the separate package to use it.  But it's pretty easy to do...

• VMware HA and recovery of virtual machines (not to restart them)?

  Hello

  I need help clarify something with VMware HA.

  When I do manually our primary ESXI host, the VMs appear and restart on the secondary host.

  Yes virtual machines are restarted automatically, but it does not resume the virtual machine without interruption as DRS and provides that vMotion.

  Is there a way I can configure HA to not restart and resume the virtual machine in place without interruption?  If not, what are my other options I can configure in VMware ESXi do exactly, if any?

  Thank you very much

  Jan

  HA is used in the event of a host failure, so there is no chance to migrate a workload (curriculum vitae) to another host. What you are asking for can be achieved with FT (Fault Tolerance) where a secondary VM is created on a different host and basically synchronized with the primary virtual machine. In case of failure of the primary virtual machine VM school can resume (almost) without interruption.
