IP based virtual servers in upgrade to iws6

We are running about 20 hardware virtual sites on a iws 4.x server running on NT. they each have their own IP address and are all SSL sites. We want to switch to iws6.x, but everything is different. has anyone successfully upgraded in a similar situation? we think we need to create a seperate listen socket for each IP address. How would we add a server cert to each of the virtual servers? Thanks!

Hi,
<b>How would we add a server cert to each of the virtual servers?</b>
The below steps will help you how to Install individual cert for each virtual server :
Webserver 6.x allows you to install individual certificates for each
virtual server.
1. Request multiple certificates and while installing those certificates
give an unique certificate name...say virtualcert1,virtualcert2 etc.
2. Verify those certificates by clicking the "manage certificate"
option.
2. Create virtual servers and if you are creating ip based virtual
servers (hardware vs) then you can group then to the same listen
sockets. This can be accomplished by editing the listen sockets and
choosing the advanced--->group option.
3. Now again go to the Edit listen Socket and turn on the Security.
Apply the changes.
4. You will now see a new link named 'Attributes' appearing.
5. Click that link and a new screen will open
6. You will have the Virtual servers listed and also the certificate
name appearing. You can now associate unique certificate to each of
those virtual servers created.
6. Click OK and apply the changes.
This will install the unique certificate for each virtual server.
I hope this helps.

Dakshin.

URL-Host-Based Virtual Servers

Hi,
I am trying to configure SJS-AS PE 8.1 to accomplish URL-Host-Based virtual servers as descibed in Example 3 of "Deploying Virtual Servers" in the document http://docs.sun.com/source/817-3652-10/agvirt.html (I know it's for v7, but it conceptually descibes exactly what I am trying to do).
The document outlines the scenario perfectly, but gives no example of how exactly to configure the app server this way. My understanding from the admin guide is that a listener has to be unique on a port and address, so once I create it for 0.0.0.0:80, how can I assign it to multiple virtual servers?
Can someone point me to some example showing how to configure the app server this way?
Thanks
Chris

Yes. why are we able to use the same port 80 for several software virtual servers. and then when it comes to use https, we have to use different ports?
Besides, please let me know if it is possible to use SSL with Software and not Hardware virtual servers. As if the Admin guide says it is only possible with hardware VS.
Thank you.

Apache, name based virtual hosts and multiple servers.

Hi,
Ive been playing with Apache and name-based virtual hosts for a while now, but, ive been doing it with one single server... now i have the need to forward a name-based request to another server inside the intranet (wich doesnt have a public IP, but a private)...
Something like this:
internet -----> Webserver (name based vhosts) ----> intranet-webserver
Where "webserver" has several domains resolved via name based virtual hosting, and one of those needs to be redirected (or forwarded) to another server on the LAN.
Any ideas on how to do this? i tryed searching the web, but i dont know under which keywords, so i always end on single server virtual hosting help sites.
thanks in advance!

you need to define a virtual server for it..but inside that definition.. define a proxy.
Then the middle webserver, will actually handle the request to the intranet server, on behalf of the internet client..and then pass the traffic to the internet client.
this looks like a reasonable example..

SAP on virtual servers (Hardware requirements)

Hi Guys.
I would like to setup a Windows desktop server and then using VMWare create several virtual servers, in order to install IDES SAP Solutions over Windows Server 2008 with DB6/SQL Server/Oracle
Let says about 4-5 virtual servers and each one deploy an ECC 6.0 Instance, Netweaver 7, Solution Manager EHP1, CRM, Portal and any of other SAP Solutions with their respective DB.
This is all intended for testing purposes, like installing, upgrading, and testing features
What 64bit processor type, memory, disk, would you recommmend? Im thinking on an Intel i7 cpu, with 8GB Memory, and perhaps 1 TB disk, and so on.
If any of you have experience setting up a virtual lab like this, would be highly appreciated.

Virtual servers are rebooting automatically

Hello All,
I am having an issue with Virtual Servers.
I have 5 node cluster. Last week due to storage firmware upgradation we had some problems. after that we contacted storage expert and get it rectified. Now One of cluster node is having a issue. Once i move the VMs (This node is the owner of VMs) then the
virtual servers are automatically rebooting. Now this node is ideal. In addition to that we checked all updates and run the failover test also..every thing is showing green.
Can any one have solution for this, please help me.
Thank you.

Defining virtual servers using content-rules

Can multiple virtual servers be "bound" to a single real server when all of the virtual servers have the same ip address and port, with the only difference between each virtual server being a unique content rule applied to each? (This is more of a migration issue, than a load-balance issue)

I assume you are saying Web(HTTP) and the answer is yes.
1. Your server should has name-based virtual hosting enabled if your server only use 1 IP address.
2. In CSS, you can use single service for this server or use different services with different keepalive uri for each service.
3. You can use a number of unique Content rules (same VIP, TCP 80 with different URLs) and add the service to it.
Remarks: If you want to use unique Content rules, you should make them difference with URL, otherwise all the content rules are the same and you can't activate all.
Another suggestion: If your server already support Name-VHOST, you can use just single L4 Content rule and all the traffic would be handled by that server (service).

Issue on virtual servers on sun one web server

Hi all,
I configured sun webserver 6.1 sp8 on windows 2003 server
I configured php,asp,jsp succesfully on different virtual servers.
as
www.abc.com:80
www.php.com:2222
www.asp.com:3333
www.jsp.com:4444
Now the issue is
I want to run the applications by using url with out portno in the browser
like www.php.com instead of www.php.com:2222
my DNS is aware of the www.abc.com,www.php.com,asp.com,jsp.com
From Internet I can access www.abc.com:80 as www.abc.com becoz it is running on port 80.
If I type www.php.com it is directing to www.abc.com not to www.php.com:2222.
In the host file under windows/system32/drivers/etc I added the following lines
10.129.149.196 www.abc.com
10.129.149.196 www.php.com
10.129.149.196 www.asp.com
10.129.149.196 www.jsp.com
I want to run the applications without entering portno along with url in the browser.
Can any one help me please.
Thanks in advance

Dear M.V,
I choose one server(www.xyz.com) that is running on port 80,in its server.xml I added

Best practices for setting up virtual servers on Windows Server 2012 R2

I am creating a Web server from scratch with Windows Server 2012 R2. I expect to have a host server, and then 3 virtual servers...one that runs all of the web apps as a web server, another as a Database Server, and then on for session state. I
expect to use Windows Server 2012 R2 for the Web Server and Database Server, but Windows 7 for the session state.
I have an SATA2 Intel SROMBSASMR RAID card with battery back up that I am attaching a small SSD drive that I expect to use for the session state, and an IBM Server RAID M1015 SATA3 card that I am running Intel 520 Series SSD's that I expect to
use for Web server and Database server.
I have some questions. I am considering using the internal USB with a flash drive to boot the Host off of, and then using two small SSD's in a Raid 0 for the Web server (theory being that if something goes wrong, session state is on a different drive), and
then 2 more for the Database server in a RAID 1 configuration.
please feel free to poke holes in this and tell me of a better way to do it.
I am assuming that having the host running on a slow USB drive that is internal has no effect on the virtual servers after it is booted up, and the virtual servers are booted up?

There are two issues about RAID0:
1) It's not as fast as people think. So with a general purpose file system like NTFS or ReFS (choice for Windows is limited) you're not going to have any great benefits as there are very low chances whole RAID stripe would be updated @ the same time (I/Os
need to touch all SSDs in a set so 256KB+ in a real life). Web server workload is quite far away from sequential reads or writes so RAID0 is not going to shine here. Log-structures file system (or at least some FS with logging capabilities, think about ZFS
and ZIL enabled) *will* benefit from SSDs in RAID0 properly assigned.
2) RAID0 is dangerous. One lost SSD would render whole RAID set useless. So unless you build a network RAID1-over-RAID0 (mirror RAID sets between multiple hosts with a virtual SAN like or synchronous replication solutions) - you'll be sitting on a time bomb.
Not good :)
StarWind VSAN [Virtual SAN] clusters Hyper-V without SAS, Fibre Channel, SMB 3.0 or iSCSI, uses Ethernet to mirror internally mounted SATA disks between hosts.

Inactive InfoObjects in MultiProvider based on InfoSet after Upgrade NW04s

We are upgrading our sandbox environment from BW 3.5 to NetWeaver 2004s or BI 7.0. We have done a technical upgrade and are currently using the obsolete authorizations. In testing we have discovered that our MultiProviders that are based on InfoSets contain inactive InfoObjects. Has anyone else had this problem. In running a query that uses this MultiProvider we get the message to activate our MultiProvider again.
Is it necessary to activate all existing MultiProviders based on InfoSets after upgrading to NetWeaver 2004s?
Thanks for your help,
Jeri

Hi Jeri,
Yes this is sometimes required.
Infosets are sometimes deactivated because additional checks are available after the upgrade or because new attributes become part of your info-object.
When you change something to an underlying data provider of a multiprovider, the multiprovider is automatically inactivated and you have to reactivate it.
I also had this problem with other upgrades.
In general, activation is not too much of an effort.
Please assign points if this solved your problem,
Best Regards,
Filip Ledoux

How to customize search in WS 7 and for multiple virtual servers?

I'm not clear on how to customize search results pages in Sun Web Server 7. The documentation (the Adminstrator's Guide, page 215) says:
You can take a look at the default search application located at /bin/https/webapps/search as a sample application
but I'm not seeing any such thing. I did a find . -name search -type d from the server root and instance root but the only search directories I'm seeing are subdirectories within the generated directory and they look like system generated jsps that I shouldn't touch (So I didn't :-)
So one question is, where is the default app? A second question is, how do we set up different branding for different virtual servers?
We're currently using WS 6.1 and it has a field in the GUI for the directory containing the web app to use for search. That seems to have disappeared in WS 7.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Dave

I don't use the search engine, so I'm afriad I don't have direct experience here.
What I'd probably do is modify the app so that it looks at the Host data to determine which directory it should point to for graphics, formatting, etc. You could also use the obj.conf with variables to pull graphics from directories appropriately branded. Something like:
1) Create "additional doc directory" for images
2) Find the entry in the obj.conf that points to the new directory
3) Modify the path to something like /path/to/$host/images
4) Make sure you create directories like:
/path/to/foobar.com/images/
/path/to/www.foobar.com/images/
/path/to/baz.com/images/
/path/to/www.baz.com/images/

Running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers

Is anyone running SAP on Microsoft Virtual Servers? If so, what has been your experience with this? We are installing NetWeaver 2004s on three virtual servers (running on the same Physical Windows server). We are using the Microsoft Virtual Server software (not VM Ware).
Thanks in advance for any information.

Check Note 674851 - Virtualization on Windows:
VMware, GSX Server, VMware workstation, Microsoft Virtual Server
Due to their restriction to 32-bit, single CPU and host/guest operation, these virtualization products are not suitable for productive SAP applications.
It may be advisable to use one of these products to operate non-production systems (demo systems, test systems, development systems and so on).
I would not use Microsoft Virtual Server for productive installations, additionally, depending on the database used, it may or may not supported by the database vendor and thus also may or may not supported by SAP.
In worst case you will need to reinstall the application on a non-virtualized environment and reproduce a problem there before SAP support will accept the problem.

Multiple Virtual servers, one listener setup

I am trying SJS 7 as a Proof of Concept project to replace our existing iPlaney 6 and Netscape 2 server instances.
My question is how do I setup SJS to have one http listener on port 80, but be able to handle multiple websites? I want to use a CNAME under our DNS and then have the SJS environment look to see what the domain name is and point it to the correct directory when called upon via web browser.
Under our DNS, each stub file has something like:
mysite IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
mysite2 IN CNAME devsite.mydomain.com
Under our Apache's virthost.conf, I just need to do the following:
<VirtualHost mysite.com>
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost mysite2.com>
ServerName mysite2.com
DocumentRoot /web/mysite2.com/htdocs
ErrorLog /var/web/mysite2.com/error_log
CustomLog /var/web/mysite2.com/access_log common
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/web/mysite2.com/htdocs/"
<Directory /web/mysite2.com>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Multiviews +Includes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I setup two virtual servers under one configuration, but the http-listener-1 instance only wants to point to one virtual server instance rather than the pair. I tried to add a 2nd http-listener, but it won't allow me to use the same CNAME address nor port 80 for it as well.
How do I do the same thing that I do with Apache virthosting under SJS 7?
-- Michael

I took a look at the server.xml file, and I currently have this:
<http-listener>
<name>http-listener-1</name>
<ip>sjsdev.mysite.com</ip>
<port>80</port>
<server-name>sjsdev.mysite.com</server-name>
<default-virtual-server-name>screwball</default-virtual-server-name>
</http-listener>
<virtual-server>
<name>screwball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>screwball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/screwball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/screwball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
<name>fastball</name>
<http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
<host>sjsdev.mysite.com</host>
<object-file>fastball-obj.conf</object-file>
<document-root>/web/fastball.mysite.com/htdocs</document-root>
<log-file>/web/fastball.mysite.com/logs/server.log</log-file>
</virtual-server>
I bounced the listener and virtual hosts then tried using a browser for testing.
If I go to http://screwball.mysite.com, it goes to the correct htdocs directory.
If I go to http://fastball.mysite.com, it goes to the screwball htdocs directory instead.
Also, is it possible to make these configuration changes via the Administration web GUI?
Trying to document this as much as possible, mostly via screenshots, for other team members.

Help with J2EE SDK 1.4 Virtual Servers please!

H!
Are we doomed to have just one virtual server pointing to port 80??
I have a Win2K computer with J2EE App Server 1.4. In this computer I stopped the IIS 5.0 in order to use the HTTP Server included with the product. I also run the DNS on the same machine with 3 domains. All name resolutions for these 3 domains work fine.
Now I want to enter to any of the 3 domains freely and execute JSP apps. But I don't want to enter ports numbers like this:
http://www.mytest.com:8081/hello.jsp
I just want to enter:
http://www.mytest.com/hello.jsp
So I defined a new http-port listener pointing to the 80 port on this server. With no SSL support.
Name: http-port80
IP Address: 0.0.0.0
POrt: : 80
Then I defined a new virtual server using the http-port listener. I set the following fields:
ID: mytest
Hosts: www.mytest.com
HTTP Listener: http-port80 (This is the name of the port listener)
Everything seems to be fine. I can enter http://www.mytest.com and call the hello.jsp it's ok.
But then I create a new virtual server for http://www.mytest2.com exactly as the one for the www.mytest.com, except for the host field: http://www.mytest2.com
Then when I restart the app server I got the message on the log: "Port already in use".
I don't want to enter http://www.mytest2.com:<port> but I've read that you cannot assign the same http-listener to 2 virtual servers, so I created another listener pointing to the same port 80. But I still have the same error.
Any ideas how to handle this?
Am I doing something wrong on the configuration?
Thank you very much!!

I can help you out with this, because I just solved this problem using the Apache web server 2.0 with mod_proxy and mod_proxy_http.
this is how the configuration works.
setup sunone creating one virtual host for each http-listener on a different port. and make sure these ports are any port except the 80. -- we will configure apache on this port and then use it as a reverse proxy to get to our hosts.
like this
virtual-listener-1 - port 8081
virtual-listener-2 - port 8082
virtual-listener-3 - port 8083
virtual-host-1: www1.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-1
virtual-host-2: www2.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-2
virtual-host-3: www3.domain.com bind to: virtual-listener-3
now download apache with all the modules http://www.apache.org
in your httpd.conf add the following lines of code.
#the code below will tell apache to enable the proxy for your host
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
# Proxy Server directives. Uncomment the following lines to
# enable the proxy server:
ProxyRequests On
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from www1.domain.com
Allow from www2.domain.com
Allow from www3.domain.com
</Proxy>
# Enable/disable the handling of HTTP/1.1 "Via:" headers.
# ("Full" adds the server version; "Block" removes all outgoing Via: headers)
# Set to one of: Off | On | Full | Block
ProxyVia On
# End of proxy directives.
</IfModule>
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www1.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8081/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www2.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8082/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www3.domain.com
<Location />
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
ProxyPass http://sunoneserver:8083/
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
note the sunone server indicates the server where you installed sunone-as (J2EE 1.4). this will give you the result you are looking for: all three of these sites will run on port 80 and each of them will respond to a different web application on sunone.
there are naturally limits because when you run out of ports on your application server this won't work any more but then again there are about 60000 of those free and i don't think you will be able to run that many sites on one server anyway.

BAPI based virtual infoprovider

Hi,
in our scenario we'd like to access the data in a cube in an external BI system without having to load the data into our BI. I thought there would be a standard way to do that, but I can't find anything. I was experimenting with BAPI based virtual infoprovider, but I dont see, how can I assign a specific BAPI to my infoprovider, where can I specify what data is to be read an so on. The SAP documentation is a little mysterious about this infoprovider type.
Another solution would be to create a virtual infoprovider based on a function module with the same structure as the source cube and then read the data in the function module over RFC. However, this requires some programming.
Does anyone have a better suggestion for such a requirement?
How exactly does the BAPI based infoprovider work ?
Thanks,
Marek

Just a sugguestion.
If the DataSource is based on a function module, the function module may not be able to process the characteristic value selection. Consider changing the funtion module.
