Adding second BI platform server

Hi.
We are planning to add add a second BI platform server to our configuration. I have not done this before and I am trying to find out what actions should be done to get it working besides adding the 2nd server, installing BI platform on the 2nd server and changing the cluster name. And how will I be able to balance the load on the 2 BI servers? (Besides APS splitting.)
Current configuration:
1 Tomcat server
1 BI server
1 DB server (SQL server, 1 CMS DB and 1 AUDIT DB)
Planned configuration:
1 Tomcat server
2 BI servers (both with separate CMS running)
1 DB server (SQL server, 1 CMS DB and 1 AUDIT DB)
All advice is very welcome.
Greetings,
Marco

Hi Marco,
Basically, you are setting up a cluster. All you need to do is run installation and proceed with expand install.
You can follow screenshots steps from BI platform 4.0 cluster configuration - Business Intelligence (BusinessObjects) - SCN Wiki.
Once this is setup, you can follow this SAP Note:
1229417 - What are the requirements for a CMS cluster and how do you test to confirm cluster communication?

Migrating Databases from ISCSI Storage - adding second (3rd?) server, creating a DAG

Dear all,
we currently have a single Exchange server, 2010, current patchlevel, 2008R2 OS
9 Mailbox Databases, Size about 3 TB, about 1 TB (!) Public folder.
Mailbox Databases and Public Folder are stored on a netapp, attached via ISCSI. We are replacing the ISCSI device and have to move the databases to a new ISCSI Device.
Plan is also to have a DAG with 2 mailbox servers and a third server as CAS/Hub Transport.
Currently I see 3 options:
1. Connecting the "old" Exchange to the new ISCSI device, moving the Databases offline, adding a second and a third server, creating a dag, replicating the DBs to the new servers, removing the old server from the dag, remove the Mailbox role from
the old server and use it as CAS/Hub Transport.
2. Adding a second Mailbox Server, moving the databases to the second server, remove the Mailbox role from the old server and use it as CAS/Hub Transport, add a third mailbox server, create a dag.
3. Adding a second and a third Mailbox server, configuring a DAG, replicating the Databases to the new servers, removing the "old" server from the DAG
Do you have any recommendations about that?
Best
Markus

Hi,
Agree with Nothing 123. The option 3 can be a simple and effective method to achieve your goal.
One thing we need to note is that all DAG members should use the same operation system. And it is recommended to have two NICs for DAG, one for MAPI, one for Replication.

Adding a second Exchange 2010 Server to an exsisting site.

We have a working server and I want to load a second Exchange 2010 server and migrate all roles and users to the new server. What if anything do I need to watch when doing this. This first step I want to do is move all users to the new server because we
are running out of space on the old server, and then I will move roles to the new server. then shut the old server down. Again just looking for some good directions to do this.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi,
I agree with DareDevil57. We can add a new Exchange 2010 server and migrate from the old Exchange 2010 to the new Exchange 2010 server. Make sure the new Exchange server works well, then we can decommission the old Exchange 2010 server.

"The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable" when adding second Exchange account to Outlook 2013

I have a problem that I've found to be typical, just haven't found anything that describes my exact problem.
I'm having trouble adding a second Exchange 2010 server account to Outlook 2013 in one of the computers of the domain. Outlook 2013 will complain with "The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete
this action".
I've Googled and found many threads with the same error... however most of those seem to be either a problem with the server, or the Global Catalog in Active Directory, or the "connection method" (I've tried all found solutions to no avail).
This is not the case, since the first account is added with absolutely no problem. It can send and receive and I can delete the outlook profile and recreate it and it'll give no problems. I have this problem only when adding a second account.
This is a fresh Windows 8.1 install with an up-to-date Outlook 2013. I have other computers in the same domain and network, with the same setup (Win 8.1 + Outlook 2013) configured with two exchange accounts with no problem.
There are no connectivity problems, I can access that same account through OWA and in other computers on the network... the Global Catalog seems to be fine (shows two active DCs, which is correct).
I've tried deleting and recreating the outlook profiles, repairing the outlook installation, even deleting all outlook files in AppData and letting it recreate them, with no success.
Any hints of what could be going on?
Before I speak, I have something important to say.

Hi Javier,
Thank you for the update.
I have tested on my lab and get following result.
Lab: Exchange 2010, CAS Array (CAS01+CAS02), MBX01, DC
Type Server Field
Check name result
Changed Server Field
CAS01.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
CASArray.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
DC.domain.com
Yes
CASArray.domain.com
MBX01.domain.com
No
"The Connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable"
Based on my knowledge, the reason why inputing DC FQDN in the Server Field fixes this issue is that Outlook performs AD Lookup and finds the account configuration from AD, then back the CAS Array FQDN in the Server Field instead of DC FQDN.
Exchange 2010 is different from Exchange 2013, if you are using Exchange 2013, we need to input MailboxServerGUID.domain.com into Server Field.
If there is anything I’ve misunderstood, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Thanks,
Steve Fan

Second Exchange 2013 server in remote site

Just finished migrating from 2007 to 2013 and decommissioned 2007. Exchange 2013 is running in site A with 350 mailboxes on it. However, almost half of those users reside in site B so the plan is to introduce a second Exchange 2013 server to
this site and migrating mailboxes to it. There already exists a DC & GC in both sites.
My question is, immediately after I introduce Exchange 2013 into site B with CAS & MBX role, client computers from that site will start to receive certificate errors. Will updating the SCP on the new exchange server to point to the SCP on the exchange
server in site A be enough to mitigate that problem? What other precautions will I need to take? Has anybody been down this road?

Hi
You can introduce the second exchange server in the remote site and also setup a DAG. If you are using the same name on your certificate like mail.domain.com then you can use the cert for your second server as well. You need to make sure you have autodiscover
records setup correctly.

That's hard to say. One second for CPU is quite high time and CPU can do lot of work in that time. again, this is relative and depends on what the query is.
The biggest bottleneck in performance is - Disk IO system. In general, if the required data is in memory, it can help significantly in improving the performance.
Remember, CPU will be doing other processing work while it is fetching the data from disk.
What you need to is - load test or stress your server. There are some tools available for you to do it.

You also need to look at Max worker thread limitations. this depends on the server configuration(64 bit/32 bit) and other factors...
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187024%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
one problem that can happend is thread pool starvation where there are too many connections
happening if your server cannot keep up with the workload.. like if your cpu is working in processing the queries and cannot accept new connections..

Can iPS sessions be synchronized across platform server?

We are using two platform servers, ps1 and ps2, which are running on two different servers. However, they share a single profile server.
The site content is served by IIS servers. We would like to add Logout link pointing to "logout" servlet on platform server.
My belief is that iPS doesn't sychronize sessions across platform servers. Hence, we need to pass on the Platform server name to Content Server (in this case, IIS server) so that the link can be dynamically configured.
If my assumption is wrong, can you please tell me how the logout URL looks like. I tried <gateway server>/logout. It doesn't work

To add the logout button try something like this if you are using the gateway
https://gateway/http://server:8080/DesktopServlet?action=logout
This should logout the user.
IF you not using the gateway then it should be http://server:8080/DesktopServlet?action=logout
The sessions are not synchronized across all platform servers. Sp3Hp2 allows you to have multiple profile servers but still there won't be session synchronization, however it will session information sharing.
You can login server1.red.iplanet.com and then server2.red.iplanet.com and still get the same session without having to relogin.

Hi Lukas,
I think the problem is caused by differenet drivers for the CAN communication.
NI provides two driver for CAN: NI-CAN and NI-XNET.
NI-CAN is the outdated driver which is not longer used by new hardware. NI replaced the NI-CAN driver with NI-XNET some years ago, which supports CAN, LIN and the FLEXRAY communication protocol.
You wrote:
In order to fix this problem I have formatted my PXI and I have installed the following SW from the iPC:
3. NI_CAN 2.7.3
NI CAN is the outdated driver. I think that you should try to install NI-XNET instead of NI-CAN on your PXI-System, to get rid of the error message.

Adding a 2012 r2 server to an SBS 2011 network

I have an established SBS 2011 network. Remote Web Access is activated and works fine. FQDN is: server1.companyname.com
I added a 2012 r2 server (to be used as an RDS server) and have joined it to the network. Name of this server is: server2. I can access the published apps on the server from within the network by going to IE and typing https://server2/rdweb.
However, I cannot access the server from the web and although I tried a few different suggested methods from various forums, including wiping and reinstalling the OS twice, I have not been successful. I know I am missing something
very important in the setup, not sure what though. And then is the certificate issue.
Is there a step by step process that somebody can help me with, or point me to, to configure the RDS sever to work with the SBS network? I would like to see my users accessing published programs on the RDS server from within and outside the network by
using the RemoteApp and Desktop Connection applet.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks for posting.
There are a couple of options here, assuming i am understanding your question correctly, and that you want to allow connections to https://server2/rdweb from the public internet.
If this is the case then i would recommend you use the remote desktop gateway service installed on a separate server. It sounds like you have an all in one setup currently with the RDWEB role and session host on the same server. Whilst you could put the
gateway role on this server it isn't recommended for security reasons.
The other option you have is to allow connections directly from the internet by forwarding https and tcp389 from your firewall to your server - this isn't really recommended as it is a security risk.
Im not overly familiar with the setup provided by SBS, but my understanding is that it uses a pre-configured / customised version of the remote desktop gateway role. So you can't use this server.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Denis

Error when adding second server to pool

I've setup a system completely with OV Manager and it worked quite well with one server. Then I installed a second server with OVS and added it to my Pool.
But no VM can be started on this server because the cfg and disk files are only on the first server. So I think there have to be some shared mounts, but I found nothing in the docs. Is there a description somewhere?

servers in the same pool must have same view on storages, i.e. /OVS and /OVS/<uuid>(file system mounted throu /usr/lib/ovs/ovs-makerepos) must be shared.
for /OVS you must manully mount it on each of the servers,
for /OVS/<uuid>, ovs-makerepos must run on each servers, which will mount the shared storage.

Adding second domain controller in Windows server 2012 R2

Hello, our primary domain controller is currently on a machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. We are planning to setup a second domain controller as a failover to our primary domain controller. My question is, can we have a secondary domain
controller on a Windows Server 2012 R2 even if our primary domain controller is on a machine that has Windows Server 2008 R2?

I think I found the answer to my question.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd464018(v=ws.10).aspx
"In Windows Server 2012, Adprep.exe is integrated into the AD DS installation process and runs automatically as needed. For example, when you install the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2012 into an existing domain and forest, then adprep
/forestprep and adprep /domainprep automatically run and report the results of the operations.
Some organizations may prefer to run Adprep.exe separately in advance of an AD DS installation. For this reason, Adprep.exe is also included in the \Support\Adprep folder of the operating system disk.
In Windows Server 2012, there is only one 64-bit version of Adprep.exe. It can be run remotely from any server that runs a 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2012. The computer where you run it can be either
domain-joined or in a workgroup.
The version of Adprep.exe in Windows Server 2012 includes new syntax and parameter options in order to run it remotely. For more information, see

Settings won't save Yahoo mail after adding second verification?

My Yahoo email was hacked.   Most of the emails in my Yahoo account were sent a spam mail from my Yahoo account.
As advised, I changed my password and added some extra security - a second verification so no one can login to my account without additional security questions or verification code.
No problem adding email back on my android phone.   But my iPad and I can't figure it out.
I signed out of yahoo mail on iPad.   Deleted the account in settings.   Verified it was gone.
Added the account back in settings, or tried to.   I get the message server unavailable.   It won't save the new password.   It won't trigger second verification.
I went through Safari and I can login to Yahoo mail on Safari.
I am also able to add the account to the yahoo mail app and use it.   But my iPad is constantly asking for the password.
I'm hoping someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.

I hope I have a self answering question.... Thanks to the "more like this" side bar.
the problem comes from your second sign-in verification, go to your setting in your yahoo account then go to Edit your account info, then go to Manage your app password a new page come out, go to the Manage your app passwords box and write " my iphone mail" then press generate password, this will give you a long password this password you gonna use it ones in your iphone and ones in your ipad.
then go to your iphone open setting then go to your emails,contacts, calender. Then press yahoo account and go to your yahoo account information, erase the old password and enter the new long password and done.
hope work for you guys, did work for me.

Help adding second Wi-Fi network on same AP

I am looking for assistance in trying to setup a second wireless network so we would have two SSID’s (one for public and one for private users).
Our network is setup with native VLAN1 for wired computers and VLAN107 for wireless computers and everything is working great. I’m trying to add VLAN110 as the additional wireless network.
We are using a Cisco WLC2112 and 12 Cisco LAP1131 access points for the wireless network.
The wired network us using Cisco 3500 series POE switches and a Cisco 1800 series router.
The ports on the switch that connect to the AP’s are configured as follows:
switchport access vlan 107
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
I’m having trouble getting my head around how to setup the second wireless network on its own VLAN (VLAN110), while still using the existing access points. I have added the additional wireless network on the WLC2112, have setup a DHCP server for the new VLAN, but it’s getting an IP address from the same scope as VLAN107.
Where do I configure the new VLAN information on the wireless controller?
Should the ports on the switch that are connected to the AP’s be changed to trunk ports to accommodate both VLANs?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

HI Mark,
1.You need to create a dynamic interface on WLC.
Controller>Interface> click on New, enter interface(e.g. private) and Vlan ID:110 and apply.
Interface >edit page will appears, then u can enter network , mask and DHCP server address...etc.
2. Now you need to create a WLAN.
WLAN> create New, enter profile name , ssid and Wlan ID here then clcik on apply WLAN>edit page will appear.
Staus should be enable
Choose the right dynamic interface , which we created in step 1.
Chosse specifiy Security and other feature.
3.Configure swicth port for vlan 107 , 110 where WLC is connected.
I hope AP are in same network as your Management interafce of WLC.

Creation of a second Exchange 2013 server on a different site (with the roles of MBX and CAS) fails on prepare active directory and prepare schema.

Hello everyone
I have a network infrastructure consisting of 3 sites, site A, site B, and site C. i have 2 domain controllers on every site, and the AD roles are on the primary domain controller on site A. On site A I have an Exchange 2013sp1 CU6.
I want to create a second Exchange on Site B, with the roles of mailbox (the exchange on Site A will be first DAG member and the Exchange on Site B will be the second member of the DAG) and CAS.
First question: Is my thought correct about installaing on the same server mailbox and CAS server?
Second question: how many DAG witnesses I need for the DAG? One per site, or one in general (for example located on site A)
Third question: When I am trying to perform “Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms” I receive the error
“ Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory:
The Active Directory schema version (15303) is higher than Setup's version (15292). Therefore, PrepareSchema can't be executed. See the Exchange setup log for more information on this error. For more information, visit:
http://technet.microsoft.com/library(EXCHG.150)/ms.exch.setupreadiness.AdInitErrorRule.aspx “
I tried to run the PrepareSchema from the ISO of Exchange 2013 SP1 and form the extracted content of Exchange 2013SP1 CU6 archive, but still receive the same error. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your answer,
I have tried to run "Setup.exe /PrepareSchema /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms” from
