Discover System with a database cluster environment?

Hi All
We are thinking of getting the Discovery System and are looking into using the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise addition to allow us to use the Discovery System beyond the 180 day evaluation version of SQL Server that comes with the system.
Does anyone know if the Discover System will work with a database cluster environment or does the database need to be installed on the Discovery System box?
Sorry, I’m not a BASIS Administrator or DBA.
Thanks!
Mike Vondran

Thanks Rick,
     Just to put our proposed usage of the Discovery System into context, our goal is to use it as a “proof of concept”/ “prototyping” system to use some of the features of the NetWeaver environment for various different business cases. We would like to use it for this purpose beyond the 180 day SQL Server evaluation addition constraint that comes with the Discovery System. We have existing SQL Server database clusters that we could leverage and wanted to see if it is possible to use them before purchasing an Enterprise Addition of SQL Server.
We would NOT, and could not, be using it for any Production purposes.
Let me know if this usage/environment makes sense.
Thanks again for your help on this.

  • Installation of CRM 2007 in Windows with oracle and cluster environment

    Dear Experts,
    We are about to start the installation of CRM 2007 (ABAP+JAVA) with
    Oracle 10g on Windows x64 in cluster environment. In the SAPINST dialog
    box under High availability option, I could see installation options like ASCS
    Instance, SCS Instance, First MSCS node, Database Instance, Additional
    MSCS Node, Enqueue Replication Server, Central Instance and Dialog
    Instance.
    I have gone through the installation guide. I have below queries
    regarding the same. Can you please clarify the same
    1) Our requirement is we want to have an ACTIVE-ACTIVE cluster setup
    with sap service running in Node A and Database running in Node B. Can
    we have this setup in ABAP+JAVA setup
    2) Also,in the SAPINST dialog box as said above except last two
    (Central and Dialoge instance) as per standard installation guide are
    to be installed in shared drives as per the requirement. But, central
    and dialog are said to be installed locally on any one node in MSCS or
    in separate server. As per my understanding Dialog instance will be
    used for load balancing which we do not require now. Hence I feel this
    is optional in our case. Where as Central Instance I am not able to
    understand why this option is for? Is it mandatory to be installed or optional. If
    so, when I installed it in one of the MSCS node the incase of failover
    how does it effect the system. As per my understanding ASCS and SCS
    comprise central instance.
    Please clarify and thanks in advance.

  • Use IBM easy tier on DS8700 storage system with oracle database

    Hi,
    We search best practices to integrate IBM SSD and easy tier technologies on Oracle 10gR2/11gR1/11gr2 database.
    is that someone already done this type of integration with mixed Oracle and IBM technologies ?
    Thanks

    Easy Tier is feature on the DS8700 and the DS8800 that offers enhanced capabilities through automated hot spot management and data relocation, auto-rebalancing, manual volume rebalancing and volume migration, rank depopulation, merging of extent pools, and thin provisioning support.
    Easy Tier determines the appropriate tier of storage based on data access requirements and then automatically and nondisruptively moves data, at the subvolume or sub-LUN level, to the appropriate tier (like SSD) on the DS8000.
    so I search feedback on this technology used in conjunction with Oracle database.
    It's a question oriented for IBMer ...
    Regards
    ArnaudAs I said, this all happens several layers away from anything the Oracle database would know (or care) about. Just like my HP-SAN. It does a lot of the kinds of things you describe above and actually, not only does oracle not know or care, neither does the OS. All of that work is being done by a sub-system that is totally abstracted from the OS and even more abstracted from the Oracle rdbms. When oracle ( or any app) needs data, it sends a request to the OS to "give me X- number of bytes, beginning at offset Y in file Z". He doesn't even know what kind of device file Z is. And with dedicates storage systems like a SAN (and it sounds like Easy Tier) even the OS doesn't really know or care. It simply passes the request along to the interface to the storage system.

  • Is it possible to install two SAP system with same SID but different instance numbers on one host?

    Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
    If yes, then how?
    If no, then why?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sarim

    Is it possible to install two SAP system with same system ID (SID) but different instance numbers on one host?
    Yes, it is possible. If one is CI (PAS) and the second one is an AS (AAS). In this case there will be only one database.
    If you are talking about two separate SAP systems with separate databases (Eg: A BI and an ECC) with the same SID then the problem will be with the database (Eg: Oracle)
    The database will be installed under /oracle/SID/112_64 (ORACLE_HOME) unless one database is running on 10 G and in that case the ORACLE_HOME will be /oracle/SID/102_64
    The next issue will be with the SAP file systems like /sapmnt/SID
    The most important problem will be with the switch to the sidadm and orasid users and the conflicts there. If there is a need to stop one of the SAP systems and if you do a switch to sidadm and issue a stopsap command which system will be stopped ?
    These are few of the many problems I can think of.
    So if we are talking about two separate systems with their own databases I would rule out the possibility of having two systems with the same SID.

  • TimesTen database in Sun Cluster environment

    Hi,
    Currently we have our application together with the TimesTen database installed at the customer on two different nodes (running on Sun Solaris 10). The second node acts as a backup to provide failover functionality, although right now only manual failover is supported.
    We are now looking into a hot-standby / high availability solution using Sun Cluster software. As understood from the documentation, applications can be 'plugged-in' to the Sun Cluster using Agents to monitor the application. Sun Cluster Agents should be already available for certain applications such as:
    # MySQL
    # Oracle 9i, 10g (HA and RAC)
    # Oracle 9iAS Application Server
    # PostgreSQL
    (See http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/cluster/faq.jsp#q_19)
    Our question is whether Sun Cluster Agents are already (freely) available for TimesTen? If so, where to find them. If not, should we write a specific Agent separately for TimesTen or handle database problems from the application.
    Does someone have any experience using TimesTen in a Sun Cluster environment?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, we use 2-way replication, but we don't use cache connect. The replication is created like this on both servers:
    create replication MYDB.REPSCHEME
    element SERVER01_DS datastore
    master MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
    transmit nondurable
    subscriber MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
    element SERVER02_DS datastore
    master MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
    transmit nondurable
    subscriber MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
    store MYDB on "SERVER01_REP"
    port 16004
    failthreshold 500
    store MYDB on "SERVER02_REP"
    port 16004
    failthreshold 500
    The application runs on SERVER01 and is standby on SERVER02. If an invalid state is detected in the application, the application on SERVER01 is stopped and the application on SERVER02 is started.
    In addition to this, we want to fail over if the database on the SERVER01 is in invalid state. What should we have monitored by the Clustering Agent to detect an invalid state in TT?

  • Configuring backup through DB13 on windows system with mssql as database

    Hi
    I m using ecc 5.0 with mssql database on windows system.
    I have to take backup using DB13. wht configuration steps are there to take backup using db13.
    plz suggest me the configuration steps.
    plz do the needfull.

    > Actually my client wants to take backup using db13 on disk..as i m new to mssql.i have configured it on oracle database bt i dont know hw to configure it on mssql.so plz do the needful.
    The "needful" thing to do now is to read documentation.
    Doing backup is a very crucial part of running a SAP installation, it's just not enough to follow a "click-guide" without knowing what is done. I told you a few approaches to start to dig into that but you seem to ignore them.
    I'm really not sure why I should repeat here all the steps listed in the online documentation, such as
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/5b/1f2d61f80f4b26a0a4a96c8bb791ec/frameset.htm
    which clearly explains how a backup is set up in DB13/DBACOCKPIT...

  • Session Problem With Cluster Environment

    Issue:
    To test our web application, we build a simply cluster environment containing 2 nodes, web server and admin. server. if we start all related servers and nodes in the following manner, the web server can not maintain the correct session ID, and mirror them across the nodes due to which the first session/request goes to the first node (node1) and the second request goes to the second (Node2). But Node2 does not have a successful session ID. Thus, our deployed application get a Session Time Out message.
    1.     Start WebLogic Application server
    2.     Started the nodes.
    3.     First start the Webserver
    However, when we change the start sequence as follows, the issue will disappear.
    1.     First start the WebServer
    2.     Start WebLogic Application server
    3.     Lastly started the nodes.
    Question:
    Why does the different start sequences effect the different result of Session Affinity in the cluster environment?
    Thanks for any responses!

    Hmmm... Never thought about it.
    Somehow I always start the environment in this sequence:
    - Admin Server
    - WebServer
    - Cluster
    I assume you are using the Apache HTTP server with the WebLogic proxy plug-in as your WebServer.
    Here you can configure
    - WebLogicCluster - which is a static starting point for the server list, and
    - DynamicServerList - enables that WebLogic automatically adds new servers to the server list when they become part of the cluster.
    What I can think of is that the last option is set to OFF in which case when new servers are added to the cluster, the plug-in cannot proxy requests to the new server.
    This could explain why the start-up sequence matters, i.e., when you first start the WebServer than the cluster nodes, the static list will do its work.
    When on the other hand, the cluster nodes are started before the WebServer the starting point for the server list is not created, because somehow
    to WebServer is not receiving notifications.
    One remark is in order, is that when you did not alter the DynamicServerList property, the default is ON.
    Hope the above makes some sense to you. (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12840_01/wls/docs103/plugins/index.html)

  • PI 7.1 in a cluster environment (multiple ip-adresses): P4 port

    We want to  install PI 7.1 on unix in a cluster environment.Therefore we  installed also DEV+QA with virtual hostnames like the prodsystem, which will be later installed.
    At all sapinst installation screens we have used only the virtual hostname <virtual-hostname-server interface>.We have also set the SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<virtual-hostname-server interface>. Although the P4-port seems to have used the physical hostname: in step 57 of sapinst we got problems and in dev_icm were:
    [Thr 05] *** ERROR => client with this banner already exists:
    1:<physical-hostname>:35644 {000306f5} [p4_plg_mt.c 2495]
    After we have set
    icm/server_port_1 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-server interface>
    icm/server_port_6 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-user interface>
    icm/server_port_7 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical hostname>
    icm/server_port_8 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=127.0.0.1
    the sapinst was successfull.
    Now we're not sure how to set these P4-parameters in our  future productive cluster environment.
    Our productive system PX1 will live in a HA environment, so we don't want to use the physical hostnames in any profile.
    Our environment will look like:
    HOST-A (<physical-hostname-A>):
    <virtual-hostname-server interface>
    <virtual-hostname-user interface>
    HOST-B (<physical-hostname-B>):
    Normally our prodsystem will live on Host-A (physical-hostname-A). All parameters should
    only take the virtual hostname <virtual-hostname-server-interface>. During switchover the
    virtual hostnames (server and user interface) will be taken over to HOST-B, while the physical
    hostnames of HOST-A and HOST-B will stay like there are.
    How do the parameters have to be set here ?
    Have also the physical hostnames of both cluster nodes set in the
    instance profile, e.g:
    icm/server_port_1 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-server interface>
    icm/server_port_6 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<virtual-hostname-user interface>
    icm/server_port_7 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical-hostname-A>
    icm/server_port_8 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<physical-hostname-B>
    icm/server_port_9 = PROT=P4,PORT=5$$04, HOST=<localhost>
    Any recommendations ? In note 1158626 is some infomation regarding P4 ports with multiple network interfaces, but it's not 100% clear for us.
    Best regards,
    Uta

    Hi Uta!
    Obviously we are the only human beings in the SAP community having this problem. Nevertheless let's give it another try with a - hopefully - more simple problem description (and maybe it will be helpful to copy and paste this description into the open SAP CSN also).
    So here comes the scenario:
    We have one physical host:
    Physical hostname: physhost
    Physical IP address: 1.1.1.1
    On this physical host there is running one OS: SUN Solaris 10/SPARC
    On top of this we have two virtual hosts where we install 2 completely independent PI 7.1 instances with separate virtual hostnames and separate virtual IP addresses and separate DB2 9.1 databases. That is this is not an MCOD installation.
    Virtual Host no. 1 is PI 7.1 Development System:
    Virtual hostname: virthostdev
    Virtual IP address: 2.2.2.2
    Java Port numbers: 512xx
    Virtual Host no. 2 is PI 7.1 QA System:
    Virtual hostname: virthostqa
    Virtual IP address: 3.3.3.3
    Java Port numbers: 522xx
    With this constellation we face serious problems with the P4 port. Currently for example the JSPM for virthostdev does not start, because JSPM cannot connect to the P4 port.
    In SAP note 1158626 we have learned that by default always the physical hostname/IP address is used to address the P4 port and that we have to configure instance profile parameter icm/server_port_xx to avoid this.
    So how do we have to configure the instance profile parameter icm/server_port_xx for both systems to resolve these P4 port conflicts?
    Additionally: Is it important to use distinct server port slot numbers xx in both systems?
    Additionally: Is it possible to configure this parameter with hostnames instead of using IP addresses?
    So far we have tried several combinations, but with each combination at least one or even both systems have problems with that f.... P4 port.
    Please help! Thanx a lot in advance!

    Volker
