BOE Cluster issue

Hi
We have 2 BOE servers installed standalone.
SERVER1:
OS is Windows 2003. BO XI 3.1. We have setup SSO with Windows AD and everything is working fine.
SERVER2:
OS is HP-UX. BO XI 3.1 is already installed standalone and want to use this for load balancing. CMS and other servers running and point to the same CMS DB as SERVER1.
We just added the SERVER2 node in SERVER1. Now they seem to be clustered. By default the cluster name reamins SERVER1. Now when people login into Infoview or Designer tools and use SERVER1 they are actually going against the cluster. When the request goes to SERVER2 it throws out an plugin error saying that the secWinAD is not found since it is HP-UX. When the request goes to SERVER1 everything works fine.
How do I auhenticate only against SERVER1 using AD and still be able to use the load balancing for other serversa?
If the authentication failes on SERVER2 is it possible to reroute the request to SERVER1? Another option I guess is to custom reinstall on HP-UX and deselect CMS and just install other servers. Will this work?
Thanks

The AD plugin is not available on any unix/linux server. You just have to stop the CMS and then delete it from the CMC. At that point you will not have a cluster.
What type of SSO are you using (kerberos, trusted auth, etc)?

BW Publisher Configuration in a BOE Cluster (Linux OS)

I have a question about configuring BW Publisher service in a BOE Cluster (with 2 servers). The BOE cluster is on 64 bit Linux servers with Oracle db for CMS and Audit.
The BW publisher service on server 1 is configured to run against a SAP host (letu2019s say u2018host1u2019 and using SAP gateway, SAPGW00). The command to configure BW Publishing service is,
$ ./bwcepub.sh 1 u2013a<Program ID> -g <hostname> -x<SAP Gateway>
After executing the BW Publisher script, the service is running fine. Further configuration on BW and BOE system is letting users publish Crystal reports from the CR 2008 to BW and then to BOE. No problems in that area.
However if a new SAP host has to be configured against the BW Publisher service (a different instance of BW Publisher service) on server 1 (scenario u2013 one BOE server with multiple SAP BW systems connected to it), what is the best process for BW Publisher service configuration? Create one more instance of BW Publisher service with different Program ID and hostname? I have tried this approach and got the following message:
WARNING: The BW publisher is already running as user bobjadm. Exiting...In order to run the publisher as the same user but from a different session, define variable BWCEPUB_PREFIX to something unique, e.g. session2_ so that the publisher can keep track of the different sessions. Once BWCEPUB_PREFIX is defined as a unique, non-empty string, re-run the publisher command.
Upon some search in the SAP notes, found the following workaround (which applies for Solaris OS).
The suggestion is to issue the command, export BWCEPUB_PREFIX=2, verify and re-issue the BW Publisher start command again.
However I am not sure if it will fix the issue.
Also, the 2 instances of BW Publisher service is running only on server 1 (pointing to 2 different hosts), server 1 is a single point of failure and what process should be implemented for fail over (so that server 2 can take the publishing load)? I have checked the processes running on server 2 and do not see any running instances of BW Publisher service (which is configured and running fine on server 1).
To summarize u2013
(1)     What are best practices to run a BW publisher service in a BOE cluster?
(2)     What is process to setup fail over BW Publisher service in a BOE cluster?
(3)     Can 2 instances of BW Publisher service point to 2 different hosts? If so, what additional configuration is required   on BW and BOE servers?
Appreciate any info that you can share. Thanks.

I have reviewed the SAP notes, and this is what is mentioned there:
There are two ways to accomplish this:
(Option 1) Install and use local SAP gateway on the Enterprise XI server and create an RFC destination to the first BW system as a publishing destination. Point the BW publishing service to the other BW system, create a RFC destination on this BW system, and reference itself as the gateway. This way, the SAP local gateway on the Enterprise XI server is pointing to one BW system and the BW publishing service is pointing to the other BW system.
- Option 1, as per the IK install guide, is not suggested as it might make the Linux/Unix system unstable. Hence the only option left is to review otpion 2 below.
(Option 2 ) Reference the same SAP gateway for both RFC destinations. This means the RFC destinations created on the two BW systems are referencing one SAP gateway, which is referenced in the BW publishing service.
- This otpion can probably used however i would like to give the background again here.
When the BW publisher server was activated, the following command was issued.
$ ./bwcepub.sh 1 -a(prog id) -g(hostname) -x(sapgw00).
This configuration done later works perfectly fine for users to publish CR to BW and BOE.
Then came the 2nd entitlement system and the following command was issued -
$ ./bwcepub.sh 2 -a(a new prog id) -g(a new hostname) -x(sapgw00).
This action triggered the error that i have captured in this thread originally. However the work around suggested by the SAP note 1206631 needs to be tesed (option 2 above).
Question though - if the same GW host needs to configured for the 2nd entitlement system (as per the SAP notes workaround), the command looks like this:
./bwcepub.sh -a(a new progid -g(same hostname as the first server) -x(same SAP gateway as the first server).
is this correct? i just want to make sure that BW one BOE system can have multiple entitlement systems connected to it (in Linux).    Any help / info towards this is highly appreciated.

Seek help: How to make XI 3.0 BOE Cluster

My aim to make cluster is:
1. High availability, that is, when Server A is down, Server B can take place.
2. Let job servers on Server B to join Server A's large load publication task to improve performance.
My Steps:
1. New install BOE XI 3.0 on both Server A and Server B, both win2003 sp2 OS.
2. Server A is installed first, so it use an Oracle DB as the CMS repository. And Server B is pointed to the same repository.
I want to change Server B's file store's location after adding Server B's CMS into cluster, however, I found when logging into the CMC, I can only see all servers from server A, and Server B's cms in the server List, and no Server B's node in CCM's SIA list.
The problem is :
1. Server B's cms is stoped, (it's enabled), and I tried manully start it, but failed.
2. How can I let job servers on Server B to register into the new cluster, I don't find any place to see them.
In XI R2, I can add -ns newCluster into servers' command line.
I think, I don't follow the right steps, any one can help?
Thanks in advance!
Jennie

Clustering XI3 servers is explained in detail starting on page 266 in the Admin Guide.
In a nut shell, you will need to delete your current SIA on server B, then add a new SIA in CCM pointing it to the same CMS DB SIA on server A is using.
Once you see new node in CMC, you can clone all servers from node A to node B, which will keep all the server settings they have in A. Including FRS location.

Server 2012 SMB 3.0 file cluster issues with Streaming media services 2008 R2

So I have a file server setup with the always available feature turned off on this brand new cluster. Everything seems to function normally and I can hit files from the shares no problem.
My issue I built a brand new 2008 R2 machine and created an on-demand publishing point to point to my 2012 file share cluster. I created a windows account for my windows media service to run as and applied read only to my video share. Media services see
the video files on the server in the GUI so I know its got connectivity, but when I go to test locally or externally it will not play the stream at all. It complains of access even know I know that is not the issue. I have verified the setup and the ACL
stuff is turned off on both the root and the publishing point. I can login to the Media server as my service account and play files from the share no problem. IIS media services can stream the files with no problem and yeah everything seems more like something
possibly with SMB 3.0 and something in media services.
I have a country rule where my data is not allowed in other countries so I have multiple video services on a domain with tunnels and what not my US Streaming services is working great but has a server 2008 R2 file cluster server. If I take that one to my
out of the country publishing point to test it streams great as they use the same services account. If I take my out of the country file share to the US I get the same result just will not work. I have poke prodded and banged my head and since I get this result
I have concluded it must be something with the new security of SMB 3.0.
Does anyone have this working or tested? Also I am using the exact same video file to test all of this. Or is there secret I missed to either make smb 3.0 even more compatible or make streaming services play nice.
Anything helps please let me know.
Thanks,
Adam

I'd recommend calling in for support on this one. Things aren't adding up. Probably the most useful thing to do would be to do a network trace of the WMS server connecting to the remote server over SMB.

Inexplainable 2008 Failover Cluster Issues

Hi,
We have a 2008 Failover Node & Disk Majority SQL 2005 cluster.
There are 2 nodes in the cluster with 2008 Ent 64-bit SP2 installed.
At around 00:20 each morning we see various FailoverClustering errors in the event logs on both servers.
EventID: 1135, 1069, 1177
Before the FailoverClustering events are seen, 2 informational events appear regarding the 'Microsoft Failover Clustering Virtual Adapater'
EventID: 4201 'The system detected that network adapter Local Area Connection* 9 was connected to the network, and has initiated normal operation.'
This is causing the resources to failover to the secondary node.
I have run the Cluster Validation Wizard and everything passes. I have disabled the Windows Firewall service on both nodes.
We are presenting the storage via NetApp and the nodes have 3 nics installed
NIC1 - Server Vlan - Speed/Duplex Set to 1000Mb Full
NIC2 - Storage Vlan - Speed/Duplex Set to 1000Mb Full
NIC3 - Heartbeat - Speed/Duplex Set to 100Mb Full
Please can anyone help me troubleshoot these issues ?
Thanks

Deploying a WAR to a cluster issue

Hi,
My question is that, in cluster environment after a WAR file is deployed, I use iAS Admin tool to locate the WAR file. Then I highlight the specific servlet and click on the "Servlet Component Properties" button. A dialog box popups that list out all registered server (in cluster environment) with this servlet. Is there a quick way so that going to each WAR and registering each servlet can be avoided?
The reason I ask this is because everytime I deploy a WAR I first remove it before deploying it. So the
registry should be clean.
What I found is that after the a deployment of WAR1 to a iAS, say iAS1, I can see in Admin tool that the servlet within WAR1 are registered with the IP of iAS1. Ok, now I deploy the same WAR to iAS2. I go into Admin tool again and found that the WAR is now registered with the IP of iAS2, the IP for iAS1 was overwritten. What I have to do is MANUALLY add IP of iAS1 back and click "Apply" to save the change. If this action have to be done individually then it'll take ages to finish the change for my 100 more servlets, especailly when a clean deployment is required (which is what I have to do very soon).
Any idea to avoid the tedious work? I am using iAS6 SP2. Thanks.

Hi,
In my knowledge there was no such issue with sp2 related to your problem. Please check that your cluster is working fine by first testing the cluster Servlet example bundled with iAS. Please ensure that your cluster if properly configured (iasconfig name is same with a common LDAP). Also it is a feature of iAS that if you have deployed an application on all the servers of a cluster and after that you want to disable/undeploy it, you just need to undeploy it on any of the servers. It will remove the common data from the registry and make the app disable for other servers.
You don't have to undeploy the app before redeploying it again, as while redeploying, it will overwrite the previous registry contents (only if you do not change module names and GUIDs otherwise it is as good as a new different application).
Please feel free to ask further questions.

Transport to a cluster Issues?

All,
We have 2 application servers in our cluster. When we do the file export / import, we do it only on one.
How does this get replicated to the other server? We are seeing some intermittent issues - and im seeing if there is a place where you can check whether both the servers are in sync with respect to the objects.
Thanks
RKK

Do you know what basis did specifically to fix this problem?

AlwaysON cluster issues

Hi, we've been having some serious issues with our AlwaysON cluster configuration.
This is the short description of the scenario:
- Windows Server 2008R2 (Active Directory and DNS) (Subnet 1)
- Windows Server 2012R2 (SQLServer 2012 Cluster Node 1) (Subnet 2)
- Windows Server 2012R2 (SQLServer 2012 Cluster Node 2) (Subnet 3)
First of all, the cluster hadn't enrolled in the DNS server from it's creation.
Right after cluster creation we've been having' a "DNS server failure" error showing up
in cluster's log every 10-15 minutes.
After manually create the DNS record and giving the apropiate permissions to the CNO and
node accounts, the error changes to 'Handle is invalid' and is still showing up every
10-15 minutes.
Anyway, it seems that the AlwaysON feature is working somehow, and the application can access
the database through the Availability Group listener. But, recently, the SQL Server Log has
started to show the following message :"The Service Broker endpoint is in disabled or stopped state."
and since then, we are having intermitent access to the database with no apparent pattern
of ocurrence.
Any advice?

The DNS record has to be created by the virtual computer object (VCO). One reason why you are getting the error message "Handle is invalid" is because the encryption keys used on the domain controller is different from the one on the failover cluster.
Do you see Event ID 1228 and 1196 in the Windows event log? You can apply this
hotfix on your Windows Server 2012 R2 cluster nodes but you still need to let the DNS record be created by the VCO. Also, for multi-subnet clustering, you need to configure the RegisterAllProvidersIP and HostRecordTTL parameter values to meet your recovery
objectives.

Oracle on Windows Cluster issues

Hi All,
Oracle 11gr2 on Windows 64 Bit
In a active-passive setup on 2-Nodes with MS Cluster and Oracle Fail Safe,
1. Oracle Binaries are installed on local disk
2. Oracle Data files located on local disk (system, sysaux, redo, control, undo, temp)
3. Password file, Parameter files are on local disk
4. Application Data files on SAN
The issue is the cluster is unable to do a failover. But windows MSCS services are running fine. Both the Nodes are Up.
Is the reason because of the Oracle Data files not in shared SAN disk or a problem with Oracle Fail Safe.

It was quite a while ago but all i did was follow Oracle's documentaion on fail safe which can be found here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/documentation/failsafe-086865.html
What edition of Windows are you using 2003 or 2008. If its 2008 have you processed a validation report? In either case take both the Oracle service and TNS listner offline, then just try a fail over of the group, this will prove if the cluster is in a position to fail over (ip, virtual name, disks). If this succeeds the cluster group is good, what is left is just the Oracle service.

Sp5 Cluster issues

Has anyone had problems with Clustered managed servers in Weblogic Sp5.
Reason I ask is that we have been having problems like Multicast outOfmemory errors & Cluster members failing one after other for no reason.
If aware of any such issues, please let me know.
Thx
Anil

If you have memory issues starting up managed servers it might be that you have not allocated enough memory to the servers. You can increase the memory setting on you admin console or alternatively it might be that you need to remove old log files.

Win2003r2 connecting to win2012 with SQL2012r2 Cluster - issue

Dear TechNet members,
i have a issue which i cannot find any solution on, so trying my luck here :-)
I have a couple of Windows 2003 r2 Terminal Services servers where my application is connecting today to a 2-node Clustered Windows 2008r2 with SQL 2008r2 and working fine..
And then i have made a couple of new Windows 2012 R2 Terminal Servers and a 2-node Windows 2012 r2 with SQL 2012r2 on it.
My problem is that i cannot connect from my application on Windows 2003 r2 to the clustered new SQL 2012r2 server,
and get this issue:
"SQL State:1, SQL Error Code: -1, Level: 16, Procedure: , Line: 0
SQL Server Network Interface: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFF]"
however - my application Works Again on second attempt! and then suddenly it does not Work and then suddenly it Works...
this problem does not happend from a Windows Server 2012 Terminal Server running same application toward the clustered SQL 2012r2 Server, is it compatibility issue from win2k3 to SQL12r2? any fix?
Another strange thing that i have noticed: if i create a None-clustered Windows 2012 r2 with SQL2012r2 (same ISO's) and same instance name "SQL01" (none default) so it looks like the clustered setup but in a none clustered mode then
my application Works fine from all Windows 2003r2 terminal servers connecting to it.
So it seems like issue happens as soon as i enable "clustered services with SQL2012r2" on Windows 2012r2 and my application connecting from Windows 2003r2 Terminal Server.
Obs. i have installed latest SQL native client on win2003r2 servers which is SQL2008r2 native client, but still problems..
any idea?

Hi Daniel,
According to your description, you fail to connect to SQL Server 2012 named instance when it is a failover cluster instance. As described in this similar
KB article, the issue could be caused by that Windows Firewall drops the UDP response packet which is returned by SQL Server Browser.
To work around this issue, in the connection string from your application, please specify the TCP port number or the named pipe name to connect to the named instance and check if it is successful.
Thanks,
Lydia Zhang

3 Node HA cluster issues.

Hi,
We are having a tough time in setting up a 3 node HA cluster (with sun clusterware 3.2 on Solaris 10 systems). 2 systems are joining the cluster fine but the third system is not; I changed the netconfig and rebooted all the three systems. After the reboot, again only 2 systems are joining the cluster (scstat is hanging on these two systems for a while but is working fine after couple hours or so). The third system is never get connected to cluster and scstat is hanging on this system with message:
libsecurity: create of rpc handle to program rgmd_receptionist (100141) failed, will keep trying

Cisco Unity Connection cluster issue

Hello,
I have a Cisco Untiy Connection cluster of two servers, one publisher and one subscriber. They are running software: 7.1.3ES43.33034-43. Yesterday at about 8:43 I lost connection to the subscriber server. I could still ping it but was unable to get to it via GUI nor SSH. I spoke to TAC yesterday and they told me to simply reboot the server. I was a little concerned about this because I don't want to cause some kind of split-brain effect. I work in a hospital and it is imperative that the voicemail system stay up. My only other option would be to do this at 4:00 am on a Sunday. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi David and all,
we have a unity connection 9.x pair. after an IP address change on the subscriber we are getting the error message:
‘Communication is not functioning correctly between the servers in the Cisco Unity Connection cluster’
Both servers respectively show its own status as a publisher but lost communication with the other server (if we check cluster management from either server).
show tech network hosts – displays correct info.
show perf query class "Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication"
==>query class :
- Perf class (Number of Replicates Created and State of Replication) has instances and values:
ReplicateCount -> Number of Replicates Created = 603
ReplicateCount -> Replicate_State = 2
On both servers the replication is showing as 2 – so its good.
Various reboots have been done, services are up and working and there are no firewalls between server’s .
Any advice appreciated.
TIA…Jeff

2012 R2 Cluster - Issues creating cluster

New Dell VRTX server with 2 server blades. Installed Server 2012 R2 on both blades and all working ok.
Ran the 'Validate Configuration' wizard and all ok apart from Storage Spaces, which we won't need as we have hardware RAID.
Then ran create cluster wizard and works ok until it goes to create and then fails:-

I've tried this also by pre-creating the computer object (in the right OU and following guides online for setting the permissions, disabling it etc. I do not have Domain Admin rights as we are a large multi-national company. But I can create computer accounts
in my OU and I have given the administrator account that's logged into the servers the same rights on the relevant OU.
Any suggestions or ideas as to what I can do to progress with this as I've run out of ideas :(

Thanks for the info PMThomas,
@Lerun: For us it was permissions as well in the end. A quick fix I found to get arround it until you find the offending AD permissions is to create the new Cluster Computer Object in AD. Disable the account. Then go into security for the
Computer Object and disable inheritance, make sure you choose remove when promted. For us this must have removed the offending AD permissions as we could then create the cluster.
I've not managed to work out which permission it was yet. I guess I could test by removing each of the inheritted permissions one by one until the cluster wizard is successfull.
Heres a link to my post on our troubleshooting process if you fancy a LONG read!!
