SAP MSCS Windows 2008 "Client Access point"

Hello Gurus,
As per the installation guide " GuideSAP ERP 6.0 - EHP4 Ready SR1 ABAP on Windows: Oracle" page 147 , step 10 of "Creating sap services " , we are trying to add Client access point , however we are not able to add the virtual host name for scs instance . Here we have one query , should we enter a new virtual hostname as it is not accepting the existing cluster hostname and in which IP class ( public or private ) we should register.
We have node 1( hostname.domain) ,node 2( hostname.domain) and one cluster name ( clustername.domain) .
Which Virtual host name should i provide while adding the "Client
Access Point" ?
Please advice.

Hi,
we are trying to add Client access point , however we are not able to add the virtual host name for scs instance . Here we have one query , should we enter a new virtual hostname as it is not accepting the existing cluster hostname and in which IP class ( public or private ) we should register.
We have node 1( hostname.domain) ,node 2( hostname.domain) and one cluster name ( clustername.domain) .
If u have created a virtual host already for the SAP group u can give that one and proceed else you need to enter a new virtual host for SAP group. This hostname and IP address are different than the three mentioned by you.
Good Luck...

2003 to 2008 R2 file cluster migration - shares fail to migrate due to missing client access point

Hello,
I need to migrate my 2003 cluster to 2008 R2, but am having difficulty doing so. I have a 2003 2 node disk and node majority cluster which has 3 groups (2 individual file shares) and a separate group for the quorum.
I'm trying to migrate my 2003 groups to a 2 node 2008 r2 cluster.
I've ran through the cluster migration wizard as
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff182337(v=ws.10).aspx), the disk resources within my group migrate, but the file shares don't.
In summary:
- I ran the 2008 r2 cluster run migration wizard and connected to my 2003 cluster
- Once the wizard completes, I left the the newly migrated group on the 2008 r2 cluster offline
- Took the appropriate file share and disk resource group offline on 2003
- Ensured the iSCSI disks for my migrated data are showing correctly on the 2008 R2 node (I'm using the same drive letter which my 2003 node used for the moved disk)
- I then brough the resources online. Resources fail to come online as client access point is missing, so I add a new access point (http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/24/using-multiple-client-access-points-cap-in-a-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-cluster.aspx)
- Restart my 2008 r2 cluster node
- File share is missing! The file share has not been imported
I then tried the registry key export and import:
- On my 2003 active cluster node I export HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Shares
- I take the appropriate cluster resource and disk offline on my 2003 node
- Attach the disk to my 2008 R2 cluster node
- Added the new disk as a cluster resource (again keeping the same drive letter)
- Merged the 2003 registry key with the share information (note examining regedit shows the newly imported key)
- Restart the server, but the share doesn't show up in the cluster administrator or share management tool on my 2008 R2
1. Is it even possible to transfer file shares using the cluster migration wizard from 2003 to 2008 r2? Maybe I'm missing a step with the client access point (or do I need to transfer all cluster resources over at once).
2. Should the registry key export import work, when the shares have been created under the cluster administration console (as opposed to windows explorer)?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently there is no such a tool which could help transfer Sharing permissions to a new server or a new cluster.
Here is an article about file share in a cluster:
Working with File Shares in Windows Server 2008 (R2) Failover Clusters
http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2010/08/19/working-with-file-shares-in-windows-server-2008-r2-failover-clusters.aspx
From this article, share permission of a Windows Server 2008 R2 failover Cluster will be stored in HKLM\Cluster\Resources\<GUID>\Parameters.
You can test to export that keys to new cluster to see if shares will occur however as it is GUID involved, it may not work on a new cluster.

Scale out file server client access point using public nic

Thoughts on this one.
I have a Scale Out File Server cluster with a Client Access Point. Whenever i talk to the Client Access Point it uses the public nics.
If i talk to the Scale Out File Server directly it uses the private like i want it to. How can i get the Client Access Point using the private nics?

Hi JustusIV,
Could you tell us why you want to modify the CAP use the “private” network, the CAP is used for client access, your clients may can’t access your cluster if modify your CAP
use private network, if you want know how to modify the CAP of a cluster you can refer the following KB:
Modify Network Settings for a Failover Cluster
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725775.aspx

How do I find the MAC address of a CLIENT ACCESS POINT created from the FILE SERVICES ROLE

I have several Client Access Points created within the clustered File Services Role. The only way I seem to be able to determine the MAC address of each of these, is by visiting the DHCP server.
Does anyone know if there is a way of reporting on this from the server (active node) itself? I have tried ipconfig all, checked the properties of the CAP in the FCS console etc.
Many thanks.
Kathleen Hayhurst Senior IT Support Analyst

Hi,
As far as I know there have no original option for query all the CAP MAC address, may you can create a PowerShell command then filter the configuration result, you can ask
in PowerShell forum for the further help.

Unable to install security updates via WSUS on Windows 2008 client servers

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002 The system cannot find the file specified.
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message. So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
The client server has been integrated into a WSUS console version 3.2.7600.226 runnning on a Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2.
Thanks in advance for the help in resolving this issue.

When I try install to install updates on Windows 2008 client servers I get the error : Code 80244019 Windows Update encountered an unknown error
The 0x80244019 error is an HTTP 404 error and when encountered trying to "install updates", which really occurs when trying to
download the update files so that the updates can be installed, is almost always a function of the desired file having been manually deleted from the WSUS server. The file that should be there for the needed update, isn't, but it used to be.
If all of the clients are getting this error on all updates, then that's a function of the content store on the WSUS server being missing, in the wrong place, or configured with the wrong ACLs.
After running the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool I get the result : GetFileVersion(szEngineDir,&susVersion) failed with hr=0x80070002
This result is inconclusive, and not really relevant. The CDT is 32-bit only and can't be used on 64-bit systems. Plus, we already know the client is talking to the WSUS server -- you've reported the error code -- so the Client Diagnostic Tool will
tell us nothing of use at this point (even if it did work on 64-bit systems).
On a Windows 2003 server the WSUS Client Diagnostic Tool shows no error message.
Cool. It works on a 32-bit system.
So I guess the problem seems to be specificly related to Windows 2008 servers.
No... BUT... allow me to make an example of this for just a moment, and forgive me for that.
This is a great example of arriving at the wrong conclusion, caused by not considering ALL of the differences, as well as the scope and capability of the diagnostics performed. The error is not because one is '2003' and the other '2008; the error is because
one is 'x86' and the other is (obviously) 'x64'. And, in either case, diagnosing the client was wasted effort because the client is already working. (It got a real HTTP error message from the WSUS server.)
Now, we need to get some real diagnostic information to find out why you're getting this error code. :-)
Please post the actual entries from the WindowsUpdate.log where this error code appears, plus a hundred lines prior, and let's get some context around the error code, and the exact update that's involved in this issue.

Installation ERP 6.0 EHP4 on MSCS windows 2008 - oracle 10

Hi,
I'm installing an ERP 6.0 EHP4 on platform windows 2008 - oracle 10 with MSCS.
Cluster is configure as described in SAP installation manual.
Network configuration is set up as described in SAP installation manual.
During step --> First MSCS Node (7.3.5 Configuring the First MSCS Node) sapinst got an error before end of input parameters.
In other forum I've found to check MSCS network configuration, but it seems OK.
Any idea ?
Thanks.

Hi,
my SAP system is 7.01 kernel based so I can't apply control.xml of "Note 1249469 - SAP NetWeaver Based On Kernel 7.11: Windows".
I've just download new control.xml file attached to "Note 1326698 - SAP NetWeaver 7.01 SR1/Business Suite 7 SR1: Windows" but error still remains.
So I've compared the two control.xml files in corrispondence of function IPAddress(adr), where the error "modlib.jslib.invalidIPAddressNumber" is returned.
The difference between files are reported below (first control.xml for kernl 701 and before control.xml files for kernel 7.11).
I've noticed that in my control.xml files is missing the following code:
 while (num < 0) {
 num += 0x100000000;
For a test I've tried to modify my control.xml files adding this code and there is no error; I can see "Parameter Summary" of sapinst program. Now I can go on with installation, clicking on next.
Now I've to decide if going on with installation or opening a support message to SAP Support for validating this solution.
What do you think about this ?
Bye
Maurizio

Oracle 11gR2 on Windows 2008 R2 - access denied error

I just installed 11gR2 on a Windows 2008 R2. When I tried to unsecure the dbconsole I noticed that an "Access is denied" error is returned, so I am not able to use the stop/start/unsecure command from emctl.
I am able to log in into the db and asm, but if I try to perform an imp/exp operation an create a log file from the operation I get an error EXP-00028: failed to open <log file name> for write.
I have already turned off the firewall, but the problem persists.
I know that Windows 2008 R2 has a lot of security enhancements that could cause issues, but I don't know what else I can turn off to deal with this situation.
BTW, I am logged with an account part of the Local Admins. and it belongs to the group ora_dba.
Thanks,
Alberto

This may be a little late but did you run the command line using the Run As Administrator option? Windows 2008 will return that error when trying to do certain privileged operations under regular user rights.

SAP on Windows 2008 R2 Standard to Enterprise Edition

Hello!
We are using SAP NetWeaver System running on Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition (VM Ware).
We are planning to extend RAM size of this server up to 50GB.
Is there any possibilites for an Inplace Upgrade from Standard to Enterprise Edition?
Thank you!

Actually, it is possible. I haven't done it myself, but there is a tool, DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool), that supposedly supports in-place edition upgrades, i.e. exactly what you're describing. It's talked about in Microsoft Technet at Upgrading Windows Server 2008 R2 without media - Server Core - Site Home - TechNet Blogs. It's about the same thing as a "Windows Anytime Upgrade" that you see available in Windows 7 or 8, so no reinstall is necessary.
If I recall correctly this wasn't possible in earlier versions of Windows Server, and that's probably what Reagan is remembering.
Let us know how it goes!
Best regards,
Matt

Windows Storage Server 2008 - unzip with drag & drop from Windows 7 client fails

Hello.
As i asked this question in German and got no answer so i try it in English now.
I have the following problem:
We have a Windows SBS 2008, where we store our files. If somebody opens a ZIP-file on a network share from a Windows 7 Client (64 Bit) it is possible to drag & drop the content (multiple files) to a directory. So far everything works as expected.
We now have an additional Windows Storage Server 2008 integrated in our domain (Buffalo Tera Station WS-QV8/R5), where we also store files. If somebody opens the same ZIP-file on a network share of this server from a Windows 7 Client and tries to drag &
drop the content the following happens:
1. only one file is extracted and to display the file a refresh of the explorer view is needed.
2. when the drag & drop action is repeated a second file is extracted
Not alle files are extracted and there is no error message or indication why this happens.
The behaviour is reproducible from another Windows 7 Client (32 Bit).
If we try to drag & drop the files from the ZIP-file on the Windows Storage Server network sahre to a directory on the SBS network share all files are extracted correctly.
On the Windows Storage Server itself all files are extracted without problmems. Therefore it must be a problem with the combination of Windows Storage Server und Windows 7 Client accessing the files via network shares.
Are there any ideas where this problem could be located? Has anybody the same phenomenon and maybe a solution for it?
Thanks in advance

Windows 2003 Upgrade to Windows 2008 on MSCS

Hi ,
We were running our NW 7.0 ABAP+JAVA system on Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 . Somehow in some misscommunication the Network administrator has formated the system without taking the OS level image backup . This is our production system .
We did not take the system export before that .
Here is the situtaion :
He has detach the database and SAN . Install Windows 2008 and SQL 2008 . after this we have attached the database and SAN both ,
Now do we need to delte all the old SAP installation files from the SAN or we can just install the Central Service Instance and we will be good ? Do we need to do the rest of the instllation like Database Instance installation ,First MSCS Node ,Additional MSCS node etc...
What is the best way to install the SAP system on it with all the data . We have the data files and system files available with us .
Appriciate your quick help on this .
Thanks ,
Bhanu Pratap Singh

Hi orkun,
That is what i was thinking but SAP is not recommending this and asking me to Go back to Windows 2003 and SQL 2005 and install SAP their from Scratch .
They are not suggesting to install SAP on windows 2008 and restore the database .
Thanks ,

Windows 2003 server access getting slow from Windows7/8 client

We have Windows 2003 Enterprise Server. If I try to access through Windows 7 or Windows 8 client PC then I am getting very slow access. Slow access in terms of, if I am taking remote desktop of server [OR] if I directly browse server directory [OR] even
accessing any web application on server it is very slow.
But if I am accessing though any Windows-XP base client or even other servers having Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 then access in good.
But interesting thing is even we have other Windows 2003 server for which I am getting normal response.
Can someone guide me on the same? I am not able to understand the root cause of it.

There is a work around that can help to install 11g release 1 on windows 2008 R2
The installer can be executed in compatability mode by right clicking on setup.exe and select "Troubleshoot compatibility" then "Troubleshoot Program" then check option "The program worked in earlier versions of windows......." then choose "Windows Server 2003 (with service pack 1)" and in the last step click "start the program" button.
hope tihs will start installing Oracle 11g Release 1 on Windows Server 2008

MDM 7.1 Installation on a Windows 2008 Cluster

Hello everyone,
We have a two node x64 Windows 2008 Server cluster.
We have just installed MDM 7.1 (MDS & MDIS) onto the Microsoft Failover Cluster which already has an ABAP system and a JAVA system installed. Each of these systems has it's own Cluster Service/Application as required, with shared storage (saploc & sapmnt share for each install).
The only way I can get the MDM services to start (SAPMDQ_04 & SAPMDQ_05) is if the local saploc share is removed from each node (c:\sap\usr).
The following entry exists in the Windows Event log when the MDS or MDIS service tries to start
Unable to change to Directory C:\usr\sap\MDQ\MDS04\work. (Error 3 ESRCH*: No such process OR: The system cannot find the path specified.) [ntservstart.cpp 1053]
This path is not valid which is why the service doesn't start but I cannot work out why it is defaulting to looking at the saploc share on c:\usr\sap. MDS and MDIS are installed on the shared cluster disk which is v:\usr\sap so why does it not pick up this share i.e.
SRMQAMDMCI\saploc. (SRMQAMDMCI is the name of the Client Access Point for the MDM cluster service)
-> I can browse to this share perfectly fine
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Dave H

I was just wondering if you found a solution to this problem.
I am currently installing a multi-sid installation on 2008 and getting the same problem.
The first <SID> was fine, but now when I try to install the the second <SID> I am getting the same problem with the saploc when installing the SCS.
The install recognizes the the Virtual saploc, but when the service starts it tries to use the physical saploc.
