Add New Server in Farm

Hello Friends, I have a below query related to adding new server in existing Production SharePoint 2010 Farm.
1. Can I add server during Produciton Hours?
2. What all changes will happend in existing configuration once server is added.?
3. Is there any risk associated with this actvity?
4. Can I also remove new server from Farm?
5. If I don't know Parser text password, then what happen?
It will be great help to me.

Technically yes - but never recommended. Don't forget to add it in load balancer.
SharePoint config DB and App server will be updated about new member and will work acordingly
As such no, unless some extra steps are not performing apart from listed.
Yes, it can be done
I beleive you mean to say "Pass Phrase" password when you say "Parser text password" -
>> You can't add/delete any server in that farm without it. That is the purpose of it.
Please 'propose as answer' if it helped you, also 'vote helpful' if you like this reply.

Can not add new server

Hi,
I install Oracle Workshop for WebLogic 10.3 on Windows Vista and I create new remote server without problem but I can not see server state.
So I delete server and try add new one. Unfortunately when new server popup window is open and I click next (to Specify a WebLogic domain directory/Specify a remote host name) I can not type connection data because all fields but Re-enter password are disabled for remote server type.
Next I try reinstall Oracle Workshop and this takes no effect.
Thanks for answer.

In new installation BEA2 I create new domain and start it. After configuring WebLogic Runtime Oracle WebLogic Server connection start to live.
Same procedure with old installation doesn't work.

OVM 3.0.3 - cannot add new server to VLAN group with bonded VLANs

I have a new OVS 3.0.3 server built with 2 bonded interfaces and a single VLAN running on top for the management interface. It gets discovered fine by OVM Manager (I'm running Version: 3.0.3.126, Build: 20111214_126)
I am trying to add it to a VLAN group with two VLANs -- the existing management VLAN (ID=300) plus one other (ID=301). (I already have one identical server assigned to the VLAN group, with both VLAN interfaces configured and running fine.) This works OK, and I can see VLAN 301 for the new server in Oracle VM Manager with no IP address assigned to it.
However, when I try to apply an IP address to the VLAN (via Hardware / Resources / VLAN Groups / Edit VLAN Group / Configure IP Addresses / VLAN Interfaces) it fails with this error:
Job Internal Error (Operation)com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: dispatch to server: whyovmprd02 failed. OVMAPI_4004E Server Failed Command: dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/1 ovs_br_config start 0004fb0010be2df bond0.301, Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: exceptions.RuntimeError:Command ['/etc/xen/scripts/ovs-network-bridge', 'start', 'bridge=0004fb0010be2df', 'netdev=bond0.301'] failed (1): stderr: ovs-network-bridge Start: No such device bond0.301
Oracle VM Manager seems to be expecting the subinterface for VLAN 301 to exist on the server already - which it doesn't of course, because the server has just been built, so it only has its management interface VLAN in place (VLAN ID 300)
I have managed to work around this by removing VLAN segment 301 from the VLAN group completely, then adding it back in with the IP addresses for both servers in place. This seems to convince Oracle VM Manager that it needs to create the bond0.301 subinterface before it configures it. However, I obviously had to shut down all VMs to do this, and it was really messy as VLAN 301 is the storage network, so my original server lost contact with the NFS storage for a while which caused it to fence etc.
There must be another way??! Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

It's fixed in 3.1. In the meantime, if you can remove and reapply the Virtual Machine role on that network, it'll recreate the bridges for you.Thanks for replying Avi. (I won't ask you for a release date for 3.1 :))
I did try that initially, but it didn't seem to help - I got this error back:
Job Internal Error (Operation)com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: dispatch to server: whyovmprd02 failed.

This appears to be from ovs_if_meta in /opt/ovs-agent-3.0/OVSVMNetConfig.py, which looks to be where the agent tries to write out the new roles for the network into the metadata file - it seems to be expecting the VLAN to exist already, and specifically checks in /sys to make sure that it is there.
Should / could I add a step to my kickstart build to force the 301 VLAN to be created maybe? This would bring it into line with the other VLAN that is used for management, which is of course sitting there ready and waiting as soon as the server is built.

Add New Server with Configtool Questions

Hello All,
We are running EP7 SP12 on W2K3 with 16GB RAM and 4 CPUs.
As part of one the Go Live checks done to the system a while back, it was recommended that we increase the number of Server processes to the instance.
So, I followed the information here (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/68/dcde416fb3c417e10000000a155106/frameset.htm) to add 3 additional servers to the instance. When I restarted the J2EE engine, it basically sat there in a 'Starting Apps' status. I waited about 2 hours before I stopped the startup process. I went back into Configtool and did a 'Remove Server' on the last, Server3, process and restarted J2EE. This time, everything did start OK, but now I have a few questions I hope someone can answer.
1. Is there a limit to the number of Server processes that can exist in a single instance? If not, what would cause the J2EE servers to essentially hang on startup although they didn't look hung, just extremely slow starting up.
2. I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to create a duplicate Server process. But, when I check the directory structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere close to being the same as the original Server0 process. For example, we have a custom redirect in place when people logon to the Portal, but this wasn't transferred/copied to the new Server1 or Server2. The same was true for other customizations. Also, when looking at the structure, Server0 has approx 80,000 files and 15,000 sub-folders. When looking at the new Server1 & Server2, they are both different in size in both files and folders in respect to each other and compared to Server0. Shouldn't they all be the same?
3. A follow up to question 2. If they aren't the same and they are supposed to be the same, can we just copy the missing files & folders from Server0 to the new Servers?
4. Lastly, since I did a 'Remove Server' in Configtool for Server3, it does not appear in the MMC when the J2EE engine starts. This I expect. But, it did not remove the directory structure for Server3. If I try to manually delete the Server3 directory, it simply says it is in use and won't let me delete the structure. So, is it safe to delete this structure since it isn't being used anymore? If so, I'll stop SAP and delete the structure offline. Do I have to do any database cleanup once I do this? If so, can someone point me to some documentation as to what needs to cleaned up in the DB and how?
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for the info.
Interesting though. I open a message with SAP and posed these same questions. Their response was similar to yours, but it opened up a whole new set of questions. What follows is the text of that message for others to benefit from (clipped for clarity):
SAP's response to the original set of questions posted here:
=====================
....1.Number of server nodes depends upon the CPU speed.J2EE Engine
can support upto 21 server nodes in a intance.
If number of server nodes is big,it will slow down the startup process.
2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance.
3.Yes.You need to manually delete the file system.Configtool deletes
the server node from the DB....
=====================
To which I replied:
=====================
.....2. I thought when you did the initial 'Add Server' it was supposed to
create a duplicate Server process. But, when I check the directory
structures of the newly created Server processes, they aren't anywhere

Shouldn't they all be the same?"
You replied:
"2.When you create the "New Server"its not the dublicate server.
Its a new server.You can not copy mising files from one server to other
J2EE engine syncronises the server nodes in the instance."
But, from actual experience, it does NOT synchronize the nodes, rather
it is a partial synchronization.
So, are the following staements true:
-When a new server process is added, ONLY standard SAP delivered files
& folders are synchronized. True or False?
-No custom files/folders are synnchronized. True or False?
-Custom values, whether part of standard SAP deliverables or custom
deliverables, are NOT synchronized. True or False?
-Each server node needs to be configured independently. True or False?
The reason I'm asking such specific questions is because of what we are
seeing. I'll use the same example from before. We modified the
index.html file for the Portal in Server0. When we added the new
server nodes, this index.html file was not synchronized. Instead, the
default index.html file was created for the new server nodes. That is
an example at the file level. Here is an example from a configuration
perspective. In Server0, in the Visual Admin tool, we have a TREX
server specified in TREX service properties. When the new server nodes
were created, this setting was NOT transferred. Therefore, TREX didn't
work until I specifically went back into VA and added the TREX settings
to the new server nodes. This is a major problem and opens up three
more questions:
1.How do we know what settings were transferred vs. those that weren't
transferred?
2.Also, if you can't copy missing files/folders from one server to
another, then how are we supposed to get those files/folders into the
new server(s)?
3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
what settings are missing?.....

If any new server node is added,J2EE Engine syncronises the information
at the time of next restart......

NO there is no way.

You need to deploy the appliactions again on the new server.
3. Is there a way to do a comparison between the server nodes to see
what settings are missing?
No there is no way......
======================
So, although I really didn't have the answers I was looking for, I confirmed the message. It seems ludicrous to me that there is no way of doing a comparison or manual synch between two server nodes. Also, I can't believe you have to configure each node independently let alone when you do a deployment you now have to deploy to each server individually, of which I haven't found any docs explaining how to do that. So if someone here has a suggestion I'd appreciate it. Although at this point, given the fact the server nodes are so out of synch as to make them almost unusable, we might just delete them all and go back to one node, although I don't want to have to do that.
Thanks,

Can't add new server in site set up

In DW6 I can't add a new server in the Servers section of the Site Setup dialog box because there is no plus sign. Only an explanatory sentence shows-- rest is just missing. Have to use DW4 to set up a site then open it with DW6.

That's very odd dkd;alkje;oihp[oihjl,
Have you done any of the usual steps to clear the issue?
Things like clearing the cache or config folder, reinstall, etc?
One of the decent "catch-alls" for DW is clearing the cache or config folder. The steps are outlined here:http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811

"New Server Behavior ... " problems

I am trying to apply the "New Server Behavior ..." feature of
Dreamweaver 8 found under the Add Server Behavior tab. If I use a
variable and apply a Display As option set to Recordset Menu or
anything like that, I get an error message, "Error with 'Recordset
Menu' control: unable to locate required 'RecordsetMenu' control".
Trying to set the Display As option to Connection Table Menu gives
a similar, "Error with 'Connection table menu' control: unable to
locate required 'Connection menu' control".
Here is how you reproduce the problem.
Create a site using the MySQL-PHP server model.
Create a dynamic-PHP page using New from menu or Ctrl-N and
save it. Create a MySQL database connection.
Create a recordset from the Bindings tab. Use all the fields
from some table.
Under the Server Behaviors tab, Click the + sign to add "New
Server Behavior ..." Choose Document Type "PHP MySQL", give the
Server Behavior a name and click OK.
Click the + button to add a Code Block and click OK to insert
it into the window.
In the "Code Block:" windows replace the code block with
"<?php echo ?>" Add a space after echo and select "Insert
Parameter in Code Block". This should leave you with "<?php echo
@@Param1@@?>". Disregard the Insert Code options.
Click "Next...". The "Generate Behavior Dialog Box" comes up,
select the TextField in the dialog box window. An arrow suggesting
a menu should appear. Select "Recordset Field Menu" or any of the
Recordset options. Choosing a "Dynamic Text Field" may not generate
an error. Connection Table Menu or any of the Connection options
also generates an error. Try those too. Click OK to close the
Dialog Box. Save your php page.
The name you gave your Server Behavior after "Choose Document
Type ..." will now appear in the Server Behavior menu when you
click + in the Server Behaviors tab. With your php page having
focus, select your Server Behavior from the + menu and you should
get an error,
"Error with '<My Server Behavior Type>' control: unable
to locate required '<control type>' control"
Click OK, and you should see a menu come up for your behavior
with a blank menu.

Cannot add a new server in existing server pool

Hi,
I am trying to add a new server into an existing server pool.
I have the same agent password, the same root password (i don't think is important).
It disovers the server and is on unassigned Servers.
When trying to add into existing server pool it fail with:
Job Internal Error (Operation)com.oracle.ovm.mgr.api.exception.FailedOperationException: OVMAPI_4010E Attempt to send command: dispatch to server: vmsibm2 failed. OVMAPI_4004E Server Failed Command: dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/2 configure_server_for_cluster lun /dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 , Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: exceptions.OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory
Any ideeas?
Regards
Nicolae

Hi,
I can see your point...
From my error :Server Failed Command: dispatch https://?uname?:[email protected]:8899/api/2 configure_server_for_cluster lun /dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 , Status: org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcException: exceptions.OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory
/dev/mapper/35000144f85151729 is the path where the server pool uses for it's own...
and
0004fb0000050000c696b251dc81a087 is the Pool file System...
On storage menu, at SAN Servers - Unmanaged iSCSI Storage Array - where I see my storage wich is with iSCSI at Add/Remove Admin Servers I added this new server.
Also I went to Rescan Physical Discks for my new server.
When I go with putty on my server and run
df -h
I don't see any storage...
I belive I missed one step but I can't find wich one...

Cant add new contacts to Address Book Server

I would like to have a Global Address Book Server where all the user can add/delete contacts. I have done all the setups but in the iMacs (the users) I can see the Address Book Server but NOT the + button to add a new contact. Why ?
In the group name, together to "Address Book Server" there is not any error icon so I understand the client-server connection is well done.
Can someone tell me what should I check ?
Thank you in advanced

I was look ing at this last night. I think there's an 'add new contacts to' type pop-up somewhere in the client account settings. That might be it.

Move Project Server to a new Server Farm

I would like to migrate Project server environment along with Project and Resource Data from one server farm to another farm. The environment has customized with custom Enterprise Templates, fields and lookups. Servers in the earlier farm are in a different
AD (Active Directory) environment. So, the new server farm would be in a new Active Directory.
I would like get the key steps and procedure to move Project Server across the two environments. Would the Database attach and detach process work? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.

Abhijit,
I personally did not have to do this, but it seems to me that there needs to be a trust set up between both AD Environments. Also, the service accounts will need to have appropriate access on the restored databases.
Please refer this link for more information:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_27154301.html
Alternatively, you could use a third party tool like FluentBooks to migrate the data. Still think that the AD users need to be migrated first.

Add new Oracle VM 3.0.2 server & network, SAN configuration

Hi,
I'm installing an Oracle VM 3.0.2 cluster with 4 Oracle VM servers.
The cluster has been installed with 2 servers, the network has been configured (3 VM Network and 1 admin network).
The storage has been configured, some VM has been created.
And live migration has been realized.
Perfect
When i'm connecting on the server, I can see the network configuration on linux (bridge, vlan, etc...), storage (pool and repository,)
Now, i have two other servers and i'm installing one with Oracle VM Server 3.0.2.
The installation is OK, i discovered the server in oracle VM Manager without problem.
When I'm adding the servers in the pool, the operation is successfull, and now I have a pool with 4 servers.
In Oracle VM Manager, i can see these new servers in Network, VLAN Groups tabs, Storage Arrays.
But, on the server, the network configuration is not configured, I don't have the configuration like other server.
No bridge, no new vlan.
And the ocfs2 repository filesystem is not mounted.
And I don't know why
Do you have any idea ?

We fixed a bug in 3.0.3 where the networks are not created on the new server correctly. 3.0.3 is busy being uploaded to the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud, so it should be available in a few days. In 3.0.3 we automatically configure the network on-the-fly as guests that require each network component are started.I have upgrade to 3.0.3 :
- the Oracle VM Manager
- these 2 servers already in the pool
- and the new server
I add it in the pool, and the network are not configured.
I make an new install from scratch of the new server, and same problem.
I create a new VLAN segment in the pool, and this segment is configured on all servers, including the new one.
I copied the network configuration from a active server on the new server
I rediscover the server
Ok, the 3.0.3 seem to be available on Oracle Delivery, i will download it as soon as possible.
The repository needs to be presented to the new server that's joined the pool. Can you explain me ?I find the present/unpresent repository on the repository tab, it's ok now.
Now I can migrate a VM to the new server, all works fine.
I'm waiting the last server to be available (san connection problem).
I will see if the problem is the same.
Best regards

Add new VM Server to Existing Pool

Hi,
i have recent deployment of Oracle VM 3.2.2. initially i have created 2 servers in the pool and added a production VM to that. now there is requirement to add one more physical server to existing pool.
can any help to me to describe the way to add a new server to exiting pool
thanks.

Discover the server. Edit the server pool and add the server. Server much have access to the Virtual Pool IP and server pool file system.
