DNS configuration for webhosting - follow-up question

In regard to my previous inquiry I want to add another question affiliated with that.
We want to use our own DNS servers for domain registration. For this purpose, I need two DNS servers - ns1.domain.com and ns2.domain.com.
domain.com is a domain owned by us that should get also managed at the Xserve's DNS service.
For that reason I would need to add two sub-domain records to the DNS entry for the zone domain.com, wouldn't ?
But how do I achieve this ?
When trying to add another "machine" (comparable to "CNAME" ?), server admin requires me to use a different IP address (it won't let me save two machines for one zone with the same IP; see my previous inquiry, I created a machine for "www"). And I see no other way to do this (therefore it also seems not to be possible to create a sub-domain like meat.domain.com).
Maybe someone can direct me to the right solution.
It appears to me that Apple uses different terminology in their DNS system; at least although I'm a bit experienced with DNS, I totally hang here.
I look forward your assistance

Hi there,
Have you seen or thought about using Tenon iTools?

Seems like the way to go for virtual hosting on a mac.

DNS configuration for webhosting

Our intention is to use an Xserve as a webhosting platform, but have huge problems in configuring DNS for each domain hosted.
Can someone provide me with a template what I have to provide for a typical domain name at the server admin tools ?
How would I proceed to create sub-domains like test.domain.com and sample.domain.com - creating multiple machines with the same IP doesn't allow me to save them (would need to use different IPs) ?
Also how to set up PTR records ?
Please find an actual entry below (seems not to work correctly (e.g. DNS report tool state "no reverse DNS entries for MX records")):
Settings/General:
Zone transfers allowed
Recursion disabled
Settings/Editing zone/General:
Zone name: domain.com
Server name: www
IP address selected
Name servers:
www.domain.com (pre-set, not editable)
dns1.domain.com
dns2.domain.com
Admin e-mail set; Zone is valid for six hours - changed from 24 to allow faster updates, hope that this does not cause problems, does ?
Settings/Machines:
IP address: Same as before
Name: www
Aliases: domain.com
This machine is a mail server... precedence: 10 (and checkbox marked)
Other fields are empty
Any help is appreciated, because I really hang here and need to get it done quickly over the weekend...

Thanks for your quick reply
Apple hasn't fixed a lot of bugs in Server Admin and a lot of the pro users
have basically suggested doing the DNS zones by hand (which you can easily
do)
I noticed this, too. For example when editing a zone and trying to specify name servers, it is a hard job to get the entries in this list. Either they are being removed or not taken over. Such an important service and Apple seems to take care soo less...
Anyway, I have to live with it
You wrote:
First, you'll want to add something like this for each domain you want to
host in your /etc/named.conf:
zone "domain1.com" IN {
file "domain1.com.zone";
type master;
and then create /var/named/domain1.com.zone
which will handle all your cname, A and MX records
When doing so, do the entries appear at the server admin tool and how does it affect the settings there when (mistakenly) using the admin tools to change a record ?
Is there a way to do a "spell check" when I made a modification to named.conf or created one of the *.zone files to ensure that there are no errors in what I wrote ?
Ideally there would be a replacement tool for Apple's server admin tool that manages this task ?
Or does someone know for a web-based tool that provides basic zone file entries when telling some information about the domain ? So something for dummies...
And now few stupid questions for your link to zytrax.com...:
Are the spaces in the sample there spaces or tabs ? And just used for readability or required ?
For example:
IN NS ns1.example.com. ; in the domain
could be written as
IN NS ns1.example.com
I guess that ";" (semicolon) marks the beginning of a comment which can be skipped ?
And what's about the reverse map zone file described at http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/ch6/reverse-map.html ? Can these entries made in the *.zone file also ?
I guess I do need these files and entries at named.conf only at the Xserve that should act as primary one and specify the secondary zones at the server tools at the second server ? The primary DNS Xserve would have zone transfers enabled, of course.

DNS configuration for web access

Hi All,
I'm setting up a SL server for the first time and it's working great for users inside our building and on our network, but we're unable to access anything on it through the web (including a basic homepage) and I think it has to do with our DNS setup. We've got the domain tgroupproductions.com through goDaddy and I've set up the ns1 and ns2 info in the host summary pointing to my public ip 216.3.118.152 and added both ns1.tgroupproductions.com and ns2.tgroupproductions.com to the goDaddy nameserv list.
I've attached images of my dns configuration and of the intodns.com scan results. I just want to double check to make sure I'm setup correctly. It's possible I just haven't waited long enough for the changes to take effect
DNS Setting: https://files.me.com...ek.klein/mp3enf
Intodns.com: https://files.me.com...ek.klein/d33nlt

Sorry about the images...don't know why they are working. I'll embed them at the bottom of this post.
As for why I'm not using GoDaddy...I have no problem using them as a public dns (meaning I'd have to change the nameservs back to the ns17.domaincontrol.com and ns18 nameservs?) but the site wasn't functioning with those in place so we tried to set up our own internal dns. I had followed a tutorial at http://osx411.com/index.php?/topic/19-using-mac-os-x-server-to-host-websites-fro m-home/ but either I'm misunderstanding or I missed something.
Here are the images:

Hi,
Please go through the following :
ABAP Interview Questions
1. How data is stored in cluster table?
Each field of cluster table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.
2. What are client dependant objects in abap/sap?
SAP Script layout, text element, and some DDIC objects.
3. On which even we can validate the input fields in module progams?
In PAI (Write field statement on field you want to validate, if you want to validate group of fields put in chain and End chain statement.)
4. In selection screen I have three fields, plant mat no and material group. If I input plant how do I get the mat no and material group based on plant dynamically?
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR MATERIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST' to get material and material group for the plant.
5. How do you get output from IDOC?
Data in IDOc is stored in segments, the output from Idoc is obtained by reading the data stored in its respective segments.
6. When top of the page event is triggered?
After excuteing first write statement in start-of-selection event.
7. Can we create field without data element and how?
In SE11 one option is available above the fields strip. Data element/ direct type.
8. How do we debug sapscript?
Go to SE71 give lay set name , go to utilities select debugger mode on.
9. Which transaction code can I used to analyze the performance of ABAP program.
TCode AL21.
10. How can I copy a standard table to make my own z_table.
Go to transaction SE11. Then there is one option to copy table. Press that button. Enter the name of the standard table and in the Target table enter Z table name and press enter.
1. What is the use of 'outerjoin'
Ans. With the use of outer join you can join the tables even there is no entry in all the tables used in the view.
In case of inner join there should be an entry in al the tables use in the view.
2. When to use logical database?
Ans. Advantage of Logical databases:
less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
3. What is the use of 'table index'?
Ans .Index is used for faster access of data base tables.
4. What is the use of 'FOR ALL ENTRIES'?
Ans. To avoid nested select statements we use SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statement.
If there r more than 10000 records SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is used.
Performance wise SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES is better to use.
5. Can you set up background processing using CALL TRANSACTION?
Yes,Using No Screen Mode.
6. What are table buffers?
Table buffers reside locally on each application server in the system. The data of buffered tables can thus be accessed
directly from the buffer of the application server. This avoids the time-consuming process of accessing the database.
Buffering is useful if table needs to be accessed more no. of times in a program.

14.What do you mean by table control???Where will we use this???
15.What are field symbols??Where will we use these symbols???
Deepti
1. There are other ways of entering data into a DB table. ex. B D C
2. Collect statement collect/adds the records basing on a key field. allows to create summarised data sets.
Append will append/add a record at the end of existing records
8. to release an object - use se10/se9
9. sales doc flow: S. A. - S. O. - Delivery - Billing
12. Delivery - invoice.
15. field symbols are used for dynamic allocation. at runtime u can assign a concrete field to field-symbol.
Kishore
1. you can go to abap editor (se38) and use insert statement for insertion update for update and modify for modifications.
2. collect will not allow duplicate entries, while append can allow duplicates.
3. if any changes are made to objects they are to be transported to different systems i.e, change and transport.
4. in user exits we go by general method for enhancements while BADIs we use objects (oops concepts)
methods for enhancement.
14. table controls are enhanced version for step loops where we can expand rows .main difference between these two
is step loop can be expanded to two lines table controls can`t.
15. field symbols are just like pointers concept which are used in C language. We use them when we want to refer to
the fields considered,it doesnt allocate any memory for it.
Venu Rapolu
1. Ans: Using BDC., LSMW,,ALE., BAPI
2. Ans: Collect: it adds the numeric fields to the existing non numeric key field records., thereby avoiding duplicate
values., and append will simply adds the record
3 . Ans: The CTS contains work bench organizer and transport system :
The workbench organizer is used to record and contol changes to the ABAP/4 development objects;
The transport system is used to move objects from an SAP dev.system to production system
6. Ans: Outbound interface is used to send IDocs to the ALE server.,
Inbound interface is used to Analyse the received Idoc.
7. Ans: We (ABAPers) don't do.
8. Ans: se09 or se10
13. Ans: MATMAS
CREMAS
DEBMAS
GLMAST etc...
14. Ans: to display records in table format., we use in Screens
15. Ans: we assign the field content at run time with ASSIGN stmt.
Satish D
1. goto se16 u can view the table contents
2. collect will collects all the numeric fields of nonnumeric field values
append will append record at the end of table
3. when we are creatiing new task like dev. a new prg.. after completion of dev. that will be trnsported to testing system or production system to do that we are assigning an
transport request from our dev.class(system) by using se09
4. badis are dev. by class and inheritence methods where as user exitsdev by SAP only and empty shells filled wit user logic
5. go to system then status
6. outbound generating an idoc in ale layer with master_idoc_create_messgetype,
inbound is receivng system with idoc_inbound_process, gives an return variable wether it is sucess or not
7. no we have to configur that
8. go to se09 or se01 there write your task no and use release button it will asks whats the other system name
and number enter them and relase by pressing jeep button
9. inquiry
quotation
sales order
shipping
delivery
invoice
return goods
12. after creation of delivry note invoice is prepared
13. master_idoc_distribute will generate standard idoc
Deepti
I am enclosing some of answers which I know.
1. We can use t.Code SE16 to enter values into table only if table maintainence is allowed for that table.
2. Append will add new entries into the table where as collect add into the numeric type fields if other charatcer fields
matches to your selection criteria.
3. CTS used for creation of ABAP development transport requests.The transaction code for this is SE10.
4. UserExits r used for adding additional functionality to the existing SAP standard transactions.Using UserExits we can add additional functionality standard SAP functionality without making any changes to the original code.BADI is a standardized interface for ABAP sources that enables partners and customers to enhance SAP-delivered programs in their namespace.
5 .We can identify User exits by using transactions CMOD and SMOD.
6. After entering transaction code SE10 select the transport request which u want to transport and click on transport icon(Truck symbol) to release it.
10. Purchase Requistion->RFQ->Vendor Evaluation->Purchase Order(ME21).
14. Table control is the only facility provide thru dialog programming when we come acrosse the use of updating standared,deletion,insertion and all database operations.
15. Field symbols r pointers to the existing data types(like 'C') which does not allocate any memory space. These are used faster access of data.
Answers to some ABAP Interview Questions:
Questions which I have faced in an interview:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done anything to improve the performance?
3) How to transfer the objects? Have to transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
5) What is the difference between SAP Memory and ABAP Memory?
6) In order to upload Purchase order details, how you handle multiple values for a single field?
Eg: Item field may contain no. of values for a record
7) What is the procedure you followed to upload the data?
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) How to create a link between modified form and modified print program?
13) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?
14) How did you test the form u developed? How did you taken print?
15) What are Standard Texts?
16) What is the difference between Clustered Tables and Pooled Tables?
17) What is pf-status?
18) Among "Move" and "Move Corresponding", which is efficient one?
19) What are the output type and Tcodes?
20) Where we use Chain and Endchain?
21) Do you use select statement in loop endloop, how will be the performance? To improve the performance?
22) In select-options, how to get the default values as current month first date and last date by default?
Eg: 1/12/2004 and 31/12/2004
Go thru these answers:
1) What is runtime analysis? Have you used this?
It's checks program execution time in microseconds. When you go to se30.if you give desired program name in performance file. It will take you to below screen. You can get how much past is your program.
2) What is meant by performance analysis? Have done
3) How to transfer the objects? Have you transferred any objects?
4) How did you test the developed objects?
I was testing a developed object. There are two types of testing
- Negative testing
- Positive testing
In negative testing we will give negative data in input and we check any errors occurs.
In positive testing we will give positive data in input for checking errors.
8) How did you handle errors in Call Transaction?
We can create a internal table like 'bsgmcgcoll'. All the messages will go to internal table. We can get errors in this internal table.
Below messages are go to internal table. when you run the call transaction.
- Message type
- Message id
- Message Number
- Variable1
- Variable2
- Variable3
9) Among the Call Transaction and Session Method, which is faster?
Call transaction is faster then session method. But usually we use session method in real time...because we can transfer large amount of data from internal table to database and if any errors in a session. Process will not complete until session get correct.
10) What are the difference between Interactive and Drill Down Reports?
ABAP/4 provides some interactive events on lists such as AT LINE-SELECTION (double click) or AT USER-COMMAND (pressing a button). You can use these events to move through layers of information about individual items in a list.
Drill down report is nothing but interactive report...drilldown means above paragraph only.
11) How to pass the variables to forms?
12) What is the table, which contain the details of all the name of the programs and forms?

DNS configuration for GSS

Hi,
I am newbee to GSS. I would like to deploy the GSS in my datacenter.
I would like to know the DNS configuration example for domain.
ex:
www.abc.com
What records need to configured with detail script. beacause i dont have experience in DNS server configuration.
I am looking for positive update.
Regards
sateesh kumar.k
i

Typical flow is as follows
1. Client will hit their DNS servers (configured on their machines as primary/backup dns server).
2. "Client's DNS server" will query "DNS server authoritative for abc.com" for www.abc.com.
3. "DNS server authoritative for abc.com" will ask "client's DNS server" to query "GSS - Authoritative for www.abc.com"
4. "Client's DNS server" will query GSS for www.abc.com.
5. GSS will send the ip add of www.abc.com (which should be configured on ACE as VIP).
6. "Client's DNS server" will handover this VIP to client
7. Client will hit the VIP configured on ACE (for application www.abc.com).

DNS Configuration for Exchange 2013

I have a stand alone server 2012 with AD, DHCP, DNS and Exchange on it and started getting DDoS attacks
I installed a firewall had to change the subnet of the server from 10.0.0.0/24 to 192.168.1.0/24 and after re-configuring the Servers IP, DHCP and DNS found that I had no incoming email. (invalid Security Certificate)
I found that mail traffic was directed to the Router instead of Exchange and being rejected with the routers security certificate. I have since fiddled with the DNS so many times I don't know what is right and wrong
Anyone have any ideas where I have gone wrong what is in the tables that shouldn't be there and what is missing.

Yes you are right , I get alternate WAN and LAN Ip addresses when I flushdns
I suspected I had additional entries ans/or wrong entries in the DNS Zones
i reformatted to show up in columns in the post
I hope you can point out which are wrong

Ipod configured for mac -- battery charge question

Hello,
I got a new 30GB ipod video with my macbook. I already had a black one, but rather than reconfiguring it for a mac (wiping the hard drive), I gave that one to a friend and kept the new one for myself --
now, my macbook is off in repair-land getting a new logic board and my ipod has run out of battery charge. I'm using my backup laptop which is a PC. Can I plug my ipod into the PC to charge it even though it is configred for a mac?
I don't want to mess anything up, so i haven't tried it yet.
Thanks for your help!

It should charge okay.
It might pop up and say it cannot read, do you want to format. Just click No.
Also, you may need to configure the USB power.

DNS configuration in two-domain forests

hi all,
We have a forest with two separate domains.First of all we had domain A. When we added the first domain controller for the second domain (B), a trust relationship was established and look fine. but then we realised DNS configuration was not nice and
some replication issues came out.
What we have done is setting up domain B zone as a secondary Zone in domain A, and viceversa.
We configured primary zones to be able to be transferred to the Domain controllers in the other domain and also configured notifications.
Even with this configuration, some times we check zones and find it empty but a single.
Does anyone one if our configuration is the right one for our infrastructure? I have been loking in the internet for a manual or a document regarding DNS configuration for this infrastructure, but I could not find it, Do you know of any manual or document?
Thank you very much
kind regards.
David.

Hi David,
First, make sure that the TCP and UDP port 53 is not blocked. To verify it a port is blocked, please use the portqry.
To download portqry, please click the link below,
PortQryUI - User Interface for the PortQry Command Line Port Scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=24009
If the port is not blocked, please check the serial number of the zone in both of the primary and secondary server.
If serial number is the same at both the source and destination servers, no zone transfer occurs between the servers.
To resolve this issue, please follow the steps blow,
After you increase the serial number at the master server to a higher value than is used currently at the secondary server, initiate zone transfer at the secondary server.
Increase the value of the serial number for the zone at the master server (source) to a number greater than the value at the applicable secondary server (destination).
Here is an article about how to troubleshoot zone issues, it may be helpful.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731210.aspx
Besides, instead of creating scondary zone, we can add conditional forwarder on the DNS server.
To add conditional forwarder, please refer to the link below,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794735(v=WS.10).aspx

Running DNS service for SCAN in the openfiler VM

Grid version     : 11.2.0.3
Guest OS     : Oracle Enterprise Linux 6.3
Host OS          : Windows 7 (64-bit ) with 16gb Physical RAM
Hypervisor : Virtual Box 4.2.6
Openfiler version : 2.99
Using virtualBox, I am setting up a 2-node RAC node on Oracle Linux.
I have a 3rd VM which runs openfiler ( NAS )
For using SCAN feauture, I would like to run a DNS service as mentioned in the article below
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/linux/dns-configuration-for-scan.php
I don't want to run the DNS service in any of the two RAC nodes. Instead of creating a separate VM just for the DNS , I am thinking of running it in the Openfiler VM.
Openfiler is running in a Linux Distro called rPath. I am not sure if the packages mentioned in the above oracle-base.com article is available in this distro. Has anyone run a similair DNS service in the Openfiler OS ?

I doubt it. OpenFiler is a "stripped-down" OS.
But Wait ! A Google search returned this : http://www.denbraber.org/?p=4

#554 5.4.4 SMTPSEND.DNS.MxLoopback; DNS records for this domain are configured in a loop ##

Hi,
This is my first post here.
My exchange server of late is facing a peculiar problem. I get the error message that I have posted below when sending mails to any outside domain. However when I restart the server the mails can be resend to the address without any issue. After a certain
time again the issue pops up upon which I am forced to restart the server again. I am running 2007 Exchange on Windows 2003.

Sure, but it's necessary to ask a lot of questions since none of us
know how your organization is set up.
I see you also have "Use the External DNS Lookup settings on the
transport server" box checked. How have you configured the "External
DNS Lookups" on the HT server's property page? Is there any good
reason why you aren't just using your internal DNS servers? If the
internal DNS servers are configured to resolve (or forward) queries
for "external" domains then there's no reason to use that checkbox. In
most cases checking that box is a mistake.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997166(EXCHG.80).aspx
The behavior you describe (it works for a while and then fails;
restarting the server returns it to a working state) sure sounds like
some sort of DNS problem.

Proper Configuration of DNS server for our new branch office

Hi All,
Our new office will setup a new branch office with a routed network link to our HO. In HO, we have 2 domain controllers configured as AD and DNS just for fail over scenarios.
How will we configure the DNS server of our 3rd domain controller which we will placed in the new branch office. What would be the proper settings of DNS server integrated to AD to work well especially to have a successful replication and communication to
the 2 DC's located in HO?

Hi,
If you have multiple DC's in that site i would recommend using any of the partner DC's IP addresses as preferred one and secondary DNS IP to pointing to itself. Dont use loopback addresses configure it with actual IP addresses.
If you have only one server in branch office point itself as the primary DNS and HO DC as secondary and tertiary.
Make sure that all clients in your branch site are pointing to the branch DC as primary DNS server.
Regards,
Rafic

Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.
2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes. (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid."
I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
I tried to follow this site: http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
Then this error shows up when doing the repair: there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups. I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).
<image here>
I came upon this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas). I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this. Any advice? Thanks in advance!
<image here>

Thanks Elton,
I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix. Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5. That is when I get the error (image above). There
was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'. For more data, see 'Information Details'.
To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.
Thanks

Question on potential configurations for resource cluster as virtual machine server / beowulf / render farm

I am looking for a starting point on where to focus my efforts in researching a desired configuration. Of course anyone who spends anytime researching in forums knows that one thing that people hate is for people
to ask questions that can be easily answered with a simple Google search, so let me start by saying I have done many hours of research on this already. The problem I am having is that although there is a huge amount of information out there on what I
am looking to do, I don't believe many people have attempted this on as small of a scale as a single user system. Also, the amount of routes to go down seems endless, which for me so far has led to many hours of wasted trial and error. So keep
in mind that I am not so much looking for a handout on answers but rather a more narrowed path of searching and researching.
What I am looking to do is take the current equipment that I have and consolidate it into a 9-12U server rack using mounted 2 or 3U atx cases so that I can have a more organized, space saving setup. That is the
easy part, what I have been looking into though is the combining of cores and processing power to make a "super computer" yet I use this term very loosely. From what I have read, the closest thing I can compare the idea in my head to is referred
to as a Beowulf Cluster, or a Render farm but I believe as the name suggests that this is more dedicated to a single task of rendering. I like the idea of a virtual machine server where I would never actually locally use this machine but rather set up
many virtual machines that I can remote into. I started to compile a ProxMox Server, and this was the right idea, however when running a VM, that VM is constrained to the hardware resources of the single node that it is assigned to. If there is
a way to be able to have a machine that would utilize the 20 some odd cores that I would have in the cluster, along with the 40-50 gigs of ram, well that would be ideal but sounds too good to be possible. Also, ProxMox isnt quite there in compatibility for
a home/home office user. I understand that the programs that are used have to be written in a way where the architecture allows for such, but if it could even be used for speeding up my render time with Adobe and Autodesk (which I know do have such functionality)
that would be wonderful.
So without writing a whole book I am looking for suggestions on how to proceed. Can I literally build a "super computer" that is not really that super... more mediocre super... or am I better off just consolidating the hardware but not the
OS's and programs. Also, I do currently use three or four different distros of Linux, mostly for ethical hacking and security type work like pen testing. One thing I have never been a fan of though is dual booting. Perhaps investing
in a hot-swap HDD chassis that I could load all the different OS's on where I could just pop in whatever OS I am looking to use. As you can see I am far from knowing where to spend my efforts in research.... THANK YOu for ANY help.
I was recently suggested Microsoft HPC Pack as a platform? Anything?
Here is what I currently have:
these are all fully built)
Intel i5 3.7 quad core
Nvidia (ASUS) GTX-760
16 Gb DDR3 @ 1600 Corsair
ASUS Sabertooth Z87 MoBo
Autodesk - Inventor, Revit, 3Ds Max, Maya, Fusion 360, Flow, etc.
Adobe - PhotoShop, After Effects, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, etc.
Basically as you can see this is used for my work in 3d modeling, rendering, and drafting along with 3D printing.
Sys. #2
AMD 4.7-5.0 8 Core
Nvidia GTX 760 (Same as sys #1)
16 Gb DDR3 @ 2400 Mhz
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z
Various programs for programming, app development, gaming, etc. (This is my daily driver)
Sys #3
AMD 4.5-4.7 8 core
16 Gb DDR3 @ 1600 Mhz
Asus Crosshair V Formula Z MoBo
Not currently using this one but is fully functional.
Sys #4
HP built i5 3.4 quad core
12 Gb DDR3 @ 1600
Nothing Special - this is the one I was using for school work but being that school and programming became one and the same I have all but abandoned it.
THANK YOU AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO HAS MADE IT THIS FAR in reading this.

The cluster works only for standalone webcache and httpserver installations types.
If you want to do this you have to use dcmctl command to change from one farm to another.
try checking with dcmctl command with out options an dyou will get a full list of options.
then run dcmctl usage(orhelp) option to see what you need.
As far as I remember
you have to check the farm id of the server you want to be the master
then in the second, you have to run dcmctl joinfarm or something like that.
Regards.
