Windows Server 2008 cluster

I try to create a cluster Windows Server 2008 based on VMware Server 1.x to test pure and training purposes.

In the past, I was able to create clusters based on Windows Server 2003 by applying all this as described in Chapter 7 of the "Management Guide - VMware Server 1.0".

Is there something different I should all by creating a Windows Server 2008-based cluster?

Concerning

Marius

According to VMware Server 2 documentation, with 2008 MSCS is not supported.  MSCS 2008 is not built to support parallel SCSI as a shared bus type.

Here's an option:

"You can create a 3 W2K8 node without any additional storage cluster using VM server or workstation. I use Wokstation 6. Without shared storage, you cannot do much. You can also configure 2 cluster nodes in VMware environment, but you'll need a shared drive that supports SCSI-3 persistent reservation commands. I use iSCSI storage attached to 2 knots. »

  • Virtualizar a windows Server 2008 cluster

    Hola a todos.

    Tengo montado con servidores 2 HP y una HP SAN's a cluster of conmutacion por of error. El jefe ahora quiere aprovechar lo as tiene y crear a virtual sistema con S.O. ESX con alta availability between los 2 servidores, y las maquinas office y los datos en SAN (Todo esto sin perder) nor UN dato claro.

    Yo habia pensado en instalar in uno los servidore el SB ESX, virtualizar el otro con VMWare Converter, una vez virtualizado, quitarle el cluster, y aprobechar the SAN.

    MI pregunta are: the SAN is installed, running y con datos, ¿ESX veria SAN como esta o para as h. hay as formatearla, con todos los datos perderia what?.

    Gracias por todo y a greeting.

    Hola:

    Pues todo depende del tipo in SAN than tengas, los datos ocupacion y tengas organizadas como las lun.

    If the SAN are iSCSI ordered hacer las VMs las vieran como UN, vamos como lo haces en physical storage iSCSI LUN. If're por el tema FC are mas complejo is that the VM no can see directly las HBA (themselves could con hacer el Direct Path pero're bastante "quisquilloso" y pierdes important funcionalidades).

    Con los datos ocupacion me refiero a the en Saber cuanto t'ocupa los datos SAN ago created tendrias than using local storage el del servidor para las run VMs are para poder use SAN para las detect VMs tendrias than las formatear con VMFS LUNS con lo cual los datos perderias.

    You idea dinna well esta. Como son back nodos activo/passivo coges passivo UN ESX instalas el y puedes "jugar" are con el, el problema storage than tendrias that buscar is the storage intermedio, sea el disco local server ESX o algun storage nfs, para poder empty the SAN y formatearla con VMFS.

    Cuanto espacio you is available in en the SAN?

    Saludos.

  • Can I use in Windows Server 2008 PowerPath and Navisphere Server utility?

    Hi all

    We have Windows 2003 Cluster and use the utility Server (Version 6.20.2.0.0) Navisphere and PowerPath (Version 4.5.0.132).

    We intend to install a Windows 2008 cluster (Windows Server 2008 Enterprise 32-bit Edition), can I use the PowerPath and Navisphere Server utility in the new cluster?

  • Need help to install Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Failsafe 3.4.2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64

    Hi all

    I'm trying to build a cluster ON / OFF on Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 using integrated security. The Oracle DB I install is EE 10.2.0.5.

    I have Oracle 10.2.0.4 and Patch 10.2 . 0.5 so install Oracle, it seems not to be a problem. The problem is with Failsafe.

    I downloaded the version 3.4.2 because with version 4, I can not add 10g (I can't upgrade to 11 or 12) DBs.

    I ask you, is there a good way to build infrastructure because I'm having a LOT of trouble to install everything?

    I have to install Oracle DB using local administrator because my domain account (which has Admin rights) cannot.

    I have to use my domain account to manage the Cluster because the local administrator cannot.

    I am all confused and it does not work everytime I try to add a resource to integrated security.

    So I need something like a short list to understand the correct sequence to install. Something like:

    Step 1: Install Failsafe on both nodes using Local Admin

    Step 2: install Oracle EE on both nodes using Local Admin

    Step 3: Create DB on the first node using Domain Admin

    I hope someone can help!

    Thank you!

    Ok! Found the solution. And of course it was a Windows problem and not Oracle. I just had to go to "Control Panel"-> account-> user account (Yes, 2 times)-> change user account control settings and put the bar you on the left to never notify. Restart the server and here! More no popups for administrator rights!

    You see them all!

  • Problems to use Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit on ESX 3.5 U3

    I am having some problems with Windows Server 2008 R2.

    I was charged with the creation of 2 new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers. We have ESX 3.5 Update3. I found that in my attempts to put an address static IP in the virtual machine, the system crashes. If I leave the adapter to DHCP, it seems to work longer, but this obviously doesn't work. Just to be in the IP menu type in IP (do not hit OK or apply again) will cause the console screen lock.

    I found that since the release of ESX 3.5 U4 notes:

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 operating systems require Microsoft hotfix

    x 64 versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 without Microsoft hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950772 operating systems have a situation where the guest operating system is not responding and returns the following error:

    MONITOR of PANIC: vcpu-3: SAY vmcore/vmm/cpu/segment.c:430

    I was not able to find the error code in my ESX systems, so I can't confirm that I see the same question. I moved the virtual machine of 4 different hosts in the same cluster with the same results.

    Here are the best true - I built the virtual machine from scratch and configured 2 GB RAM, 1vCPU and 40 GB slim HDD put into service. With no OS, I cloned this config for the 2nd of 2 servers that I need to install. I traced the two VM 2008 R2 ISO we have on our Image data store. Both installed at the same time. Given their Unique IP and Machine names and joined them in the field. Once that ended, I migrated my cluster Corp Server2 to my cluster off site for DR purposes. The only change in config is the VLAN on the remote cluster.

    The two systems worked very well. As I returned to server 1 to start install application - lock. Reboot, login and lock. This is where I started to move the virtual machine to other hosts of the local cluster. I have found no point in troubleshooting, I'll just clone server 2. I deleted the name of the Server1 computer. Off of Server2, cloned it more to the local cluster. I then started without the NIC on so I could change the name of the computer, IP and add to the domain. This seemed to go well, I have been brought back online and start installing the application. Until I'm at the point of launch the installer app - lock.

    2 on the remote cluster server works smoothly. I have validated the ESX host on all host versions to make sure I was in the same field of play on both sides - check. No other Server 2008 seems to have this problem.

    I will delete and rebuild 1 server from scratch, but I don't see how I can do a clean install of ISO any different for the same hardware and best results.

    I checked the link to the fix for MS, but article reference Server 2003...

    Is there something that I am on?

    Addendum:-I find it strange that although I have 2008 R2 installed, the drop down menu to comments what OS in VM config allows only to 2008 (64-bit) for the selection nearest you. If you look at the field Server guest operating system in a nutshell, it says that NT 4.0 is installed. Is this just a problem of display text with this version, or a cause for concern? I found everything all the R2 are displayed as NT4 in the Summary tab.

    Corrections - it seems Server2 locks as well at the opening of the Server Manager window - I can see the "collection of data...» "downstairs. I had also opened the work center & gt; Properties window on top of the Server Manager window. VM has ceased.

    Addendum - I found that R2 the boot safe mode with networking to adjust the TCP/IP offload to disabled results in a locked VM when in network properties.

    2008 R2 is not on the official list of guests supported, and others have reported problems with it as well.

  • Clustering Windows Server 2008 and the STORport driver

    Hi all

    I recently read on the documentation for "Setup for Microsoft Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service".  It says to use the LSI Logic STORport drivers with Windows Server 2008 clustering, instead of SCSIport drivers. I can't find the STORport drivers anywhere.  I can't find this on the LSI Logic's Web site.

  • Windows Server 2008 clustering

    I'm testing Windows Server 2008 shared help cluster on an IBM SAN ds4500 storage. Two RAW LUNS are used as storage shared on both Windows 2008 servers. When I run a test of validation in the context of implementing a cluster I ger errors on validation of the disc. So no disks are found which are suitable for the Server 2008 clustering. The error in the log is:

  • Dual boot ESX 3.5 possible in Windows Server 2008?

    Hi all

    I was wondering if it was possible to dual boot ESX 3.5with Windows Server 2008 with Hyper-V.  The reason why I asked, is that we have a partner who likes to play with these two products, but has only 2 servers, and since you need 2 + cluster servers to use the capabilities of the company in both products if we dualboot for him he would save him money that he wouldn't buy more than two servers.

    Now, I know you can dualboot ESX with LILO but it is possible with Windows Server 2008? and chaning CPU virtulizing settings in the BIOS to make it compatible with Hyper-V change anything nor prevent whatever it is on the side of ESX?

    These settings should be fine; I have a PowerEdge 2950 set like that I flip back and forth between ESX 3.5 and W2K8 + Hyper-V often enough by simply exchanging the discs, and I can run 32 and 64 bit guests on both environments...

  • HP Pavilion p7-1451 USB 3.0 and Bluetooth drivers for Windows Server 2008 R2

    I bought a HP Pavilion p7-1451 so I might have a machine that is affordable, yet powerful enough to put a server software development environment on (I'm a software engineer).

    It came with Windows 8, but I need Windows Server 2008 R2, I own through an MSDN subscription.  I did what I always do in these cases, re-partioned the hard drive, re-formatted and installed the new operating system.

    I have almost all devices work fine, but it still does not recognize the USB 3.0 ports and Bluetooth device.  I looked everywhere but could not find something that works.  Whatever it either from the HP site is targeted for Windows 7 or 8 and trying one of those, it tells me "your system does not meet the requirements of the operating system" and MSI publishes all the drivers for this particular motherboard (that I can find anyway).

    Motherboard: MSI MS-7778, also known under the name of: MSI 2AEO version 1.0

    BIOS: FRIEND 8.12

    Here is the list of "other devices" in Device Manager that Windows does not recognize:

    BCM20702A0

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    (USB) Universal Serial Bus controller

    Bluetooth device ID: USB\VID_0A5C & PID_21F1 & REV_0012

    USB Controller device ID: PCI\VEN_1022 & DEV_7812 & SUBSYS_2AE0103C & REV_03

    Windows doesn't always recognize them after allowing him to look on the internet.

    I googled everywhere and I'm not getting anywhere.

    Does anyone have advice?

    Any chance that this could be linked to the BIOS?

    I'm not having any chance to find a BIOS download for this motherboard either.

    Any help is very appreciated!

    It s like the same situation 5 years ago. Win 2003 server was based on Win XP and all the drivers Win XP are compatible with Win 2003 server.

    If you are using Windows Server 2008, then you should try the Vista/Win 7 drivers!
