Audit database on different devices?

We want to upgrade from 11.2.3 to 11.3.0a.
We are a small office with < 100 users. We have two primary servers and one satellite server off site. The primary servers are SLES 11 SP2 and use the embedded Sybase database.
In the upgrade documentation, under Prerequisites there is the following line that confuses me
(Recommendation) For server upgrade both OEM ZENworks database and Audit database cannot be present on the same device; different devices have to host the databases.
So, is it recommended to have the databases on different devices or required (cannot be present on the same device)? Does that mean I have to create a new server to host the audit database? What does this line mean exactly.
Thank you for your help.

IMHO, It is non-sensical jibberish since the 11.3 Appliance is a single
server that can do everything.
Furthermore, the recommendation is devoid of details or conditions as to
be beyond pointless.
Let's argue that it was a "Performance Issue"..........
But what is both "Hosts" were both Virtual and on the same VM Host?
Clearly little would be gained and it may actually be a NEGATIVE with
some other added overhead.
One thing to keep in mind, the Sybase Database in ZCM 11.3 is now a
64-bit Database so it can make use of MUCH more memory than the 11.2
version.

  • Can we change Audit Database

    Is there any way to reconfigure audit database in SAP 4.0 and I m using SQL Server 2008 as my database. i just want to change Audit database in same Sql Server because by mistake i choose different database in ODBC connection.

    Yes It is possible.
    Go to CMC>Auditing

    Connection Name: Give a new connection name
    Type: Microsoft SQL Server

    Save the configuration and restart the SIA. It will show such a status as displayed below, if configuration is success.

  • ZCM 11 SP3 auditing database

    Hi there,
    We am upgrading to ZCM 11 SP3. Our external database which is on MS SQL 2008 is moving to MS SQL 2012.
    The dev server upgraded fine. We will create a new auditing database, but I need to know the following.
    We have roughly 5000 devices, how big will this database be / grow to and can we turn off auditing once upgraded should
    the database size be a problem of this feature not be needed. ?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Ok from the audit management PDF, from what I can see, this will remain off until events are added / configured.

  • CMS/Audit  Database Sizing

    Hello,
    We are planing to deploy BOE 3.1 for about 3,00,000 users the OS is windows and CMS database would be SQL server 2008.
    Any help would be appreciated to help me  arrive at an estimation of the size for CMS and Audit database for these many users?
    Thanks
    Ranjit Krishnan

    Hi Ranjit, it really depends on how many metrics you are auditing (in another word, the items on CMC that are checked for auditing). We have 20,000+ users in our system and I am auditing about 90% of the metrics. Our audit schema grows to 8-10 GB in about 3, 4 months.
    Frankly, in this day and age, disk drives are cheap. So storage is not your main concern. Your concern should be the performance. When the audit schema gets too large, naturally, the query performance will decrease. Therefore, I have our DBA archived off the audit schema every 6 months to reduce the size. And you need to back up the log files as well. In another word, we only keep a 6-months history. If someone needs older information, we can bring them back from the archive for a one-off query.
    This is something you must sit down with your DBA and come up with a strategy that makes sense for your organization. Every company has different need. So there is no cookie-cutter formula to handle this.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem with upgrade due to no connection to audit database

    Hello everyone!
    Today after work I wanted to finally upgrade ZCM but run into some problems.
    We have three servers: Two primary servers and one database-server (OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere). All three are running on SLES 11.
    I want to upgrade our ZCM11.2.4MU1 to ZCM11.3a and then to 11.3.1.
    I started by upgrading the Sybase database and running dbunload according to the documentation.
    Then I continued with "sh install.sh -c" and chose "Audit Database". I selected the OEM Sybase SQL Anywhere with port 2639.
    Admin, password and database-name were unique. But I made the mistake to set the servername to the same as the zenworks-database. *sigh*
    The installation completed.
    The sybase-asa and sybase-audit-asa services couldn't run at the same time, therefore I rebooted the database-server and installed the audit database again with a unique database-name.
    Before the upgrade I could start dbisql and connect without problems to backup the database. Now I cannot connect anymore without using the additional parameter: links=tcpip{host=IPorDNSName,port=2638}
    Connecting to the Audit Database via dbisql is not possible, with the following message:
    Code:
    Could not connect to the database.
    Database server not found
    Ensure that the name in the "Server name" field is spelled correctly, that the network options on the network tab are correct and that the database server has been started.
    [Sybase][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Database server not found
    SQLCODE=-100
    SQLSTATE=08001
    Connection parameters:
    User=zenauditadmin
    Password=***
    Server=zenworks_audit_database_server
    DBN=zenworks_audit_database2
    LINKS=ShMem
    ENC=NONE
    links=tcpip{host=<ip>,port=2639}
    With that said, it is not possible to upgrade the first primary server because the setup routine is also not possible to connect to the Audit Server:
    Code:
    We were unable to create a connection to the database. Please check your
    connection information.
    Specify the existing ZENworks database and database authentication information
    for an existing user with sufficient permissions.
    The services sybase-asa and sybase-audit-asa are both running. I also restarted them a couple of times.
    zenworks_database.conf and zenworks_database_audit.conf look fine.
    Do you have any idea what I missed?
    Is the duplicate servername still somewhere existend and prevents the proper running?
    Thank you very much in advance for pointing me in any direction!

    Oh boy... and no backup?
    Not sure how to get the sybase back working again... my first choice in
    such a case would be to make a contact to Novell, are you able to
    create an SR on this?

  • Installing the program in 2 different devices

    Hi!
    My name is Farbod Azima and Im a student of NYFA.
    I love Photoshop and all of Adobe's creative programs! They are all amazing!
    I plan to purchase the Creative Suite after I am done with the Creative Cloud program which I have to pay monthly for.
    My question is simple:
    Once I purchase the Creative Suite, which includes Photoshop that I like using, Will I be able to install it on my primary PC desktop And my Windows8 Surface PRO Tablet?
    I would really like to have all my Adobe programes installed in both devices so I can work on stuff on-the-go when im not around my PC desktop by using my Windows8 Tablet. 
    Will I be able to do this?
    I can understand if I cannot use both devices at the same time, which I dont plan to anyways since I'll only be using my Windows8 Tablet when im away from my Desktop. 
    But I would HATE to have to buy the Creative Suite TWICE just to be able to use it on 2 Different Devices!

    Question ANSWERED!
    I found out you CAN have all Adobe programs you OWN on both devices at once.
    If you do want to install it on a 3rd computer, you have to uninstall on one of the other 2 computers.
    Which I find Fair.
    Also I found out that if your harddrive CRASHES and you HAVE to re-install EVERYTHING, you can
    contact Adobe customer serivce and they will help you re-install it fresh so you are NOT entirely F###ed.
    This is Great! I Trust Adobe 100% now as a Company that cares for their customers and their saftey.
    I totally will recommend more of my fellow filmmaking class mates to purchase Adobe products.
    CS6 Rules!

  • 1 app, 3 devices, 1 iCloud - how can I run the same game on different devices?

    My wife and I share one iTunes account and one iCloud account for 2 iPhone 5's and an iPad.  Our home laptop is a PC running windows 7.  We are not able to both play the same game (specifically Carcassone) at the same time on different devices which is frustrating, how can I make this happen?  Do I need two separate accounts?  Can I have two accounts with a PC?  We don't want to sacrifice the photostream to get it though.
    Thank you,

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • How to prevent an encrypted backup from being restored to a different device?

    If I force an employee to do an encrypted backup (which I can do with a configuration profile), and that employee is fired. We take back the company iphone, but they go and buy a personal one. They connect the new, personal iphone to itunes and do a restore of the encrypted backup (they know the password) and now they have all the work related stuff on their personal phones. Is there a way to prevent an encrypted back from being restored to a different device id.

    We require encryption of our employee backups as well...and the problem you mention is a real one.....
     If you use Exchange, you could disable Exchange Active Sync to prevent them from subsequently connecting to Exchange Server and getting new data with the new personal device....but you would still have the old data as part of the backup...the other issue is that we've found that the profile is part of the backup and if an employee leaves, even on good terms, if he wants to restore say, his music from the backup without the profile, it becomes quite awkward...the profile would have to be removed, ( which removes everything added with the profile, possible email and wi-fi), then the user could backup music etc  with iTunes, then return the corporate phone to be salvaged or re-deployed...and later put his personal data back on another device without the profile...if there is a way around the issue you bring up I'd like to know of it as well. .  Perhaps there is an MDM with functionality that would help here....that is one great strength of the Blackberry platform..all corporate data can be controlled from the BES server.

  • Linking different devices with the same Apple ID

    I was wondering if there is a way to link different device to connect and push to each other within the same Apple ID. For example I have and iPad 2, iPhone 4 and MacBook Air. While my mom has an iPad, iPhone and uses our Mac desktop. My sister has her own iPod and so does my brother. We all use the same Apple ID to save money and make things easier. Is there any way to connect our own devices. It become inconvenient when games start downloading on my device or inappropriate songs I download go onto my sisters as she is 9. If there is no way to do this, would it be hard to ask for the ability for me (under the same Apple ID as my mom, brother and sister) to set it up so my devices push to each other. Meanwhile my mom could connect her device together? Thank you to anyone who helps in advance.

    Up to 5 devices can share the same Apple-ID for iCloud and share / sync happily. You can selectively disable or enable components to sync or not, using the icloud controlpanel on Windows, the system preference pane in Lion or the settings->icloud in iOS5.
    You just must ensure that all devices and machines run the compatible versions of OS and apps.
    Macs : Lion 10.7.2 + iphoto latest
    PCs : Vista / Win7 with Outlook, itunes 10.5 and icloud controlpanel
    iDevices: iOS5
