Building new HDS to new hardware

We are in the process of shifting our current HDS1 server to a new hardware with improved capacity
after taking the complete image of the current HDS and making it live on the new Hardware.
When i am opening icmdba to check all the databases , i did see all other database fine  except the "Instance_hds"(hds database) for our instance
followed by the below error.
SQL Msq(4062) Cannot open user default database.Using master database instead.
Pls let me know if you have any idea on this error.
i wonder why qtel_hds is missing because i just made a replica of the current HDS

How did you make the image? With Ghost? The hardware must be the same, just with bigger drives?
You could have just used bigger drives in the RAID array on the same box.
Stop the Distributor and make it manual to avoid writes to SQL for a while. Pull drive B in the pair, insert the bigger drive, extend the drive using the Disk Array Manager, fiddle with DISKPART to extend the partition (you need to change the registry CurrentControlSet\services\vds\Start to 0x3 to run DISKPART) and allow drive A to mirror to drive B.
Allow to stabilize for a while until mirroring is complete. Then do the same to drive A. Eventually, restart the Distributor and make it automatic again.
Anyway, you say you cannot see the _hds DB in ICMDBA. Can you see it in SQL Enterprise Manager?

Geoff

  • Upgrading the new hardware, data migration

    Dear Forum;
    I need to upgrade the hardware for the IPCC solution we have without changing the versions, the following servers need to have the new hardware:
    1) Call Managers (Publisher + Subscribers).
    2) RGRs
    3) PGs
    4) HDS + ICM + Admin + Web view
    As versions will not be changed for all the above, what is the best method to migrate the configurations and scripts in a safe fast way? Can someone advise?
    Regards
    Bilal

    1) In the DC storey, I did not understand the meaning of: promote them to ADs? By the way: Do u mean to install the Domain Controller and AD first and then to promote them to ADs?
    You did not say if you wanted a tech refresh on the Domain Controllers or not. In fact you did not say if ICM has a dedicated domain or is using the corporate domain.
    If you do have to add new hardware for the Domain Controllers, then I gave you the method:
    1. Add the servers to the existing domain.
    2. Promote them to DCs (using dcpromo) - now your domain has 4 DCs.
    3. Move the FSMO roles from the machine they are now on (probably DC2) to DC4
    4. Move the GC (global catalog) from the machine it is now on (probably DC1) to DC2. Wait a few days for replication of AD and DNS to settle down.
    5. Use dcpromo to demote DC1 and DC2 to become ordinary servers.
    6. Change these machines to be out of the domain (workgroup)
    7. Remove servers. Clean up DNS.
    2)  About the AWs, why to "Add to domain, make into AWs, not HDS"? I mean, why not the HDS? Also what do u mean by promote them to be HDS?
    You should always make your AW/HDS in two phases. First, run setup from the media and make a real-time distributor - primary, no secondary. Install the SR. Make sure the real-time feed to your CCs is working. Set it to manual. Now run ICMSetup.exe from the ICM bin and "promote" to an HDS - check the HDS box. It will complain that you have not finished the install because you have not created the HDS DB with ICMDBA. Ignore this but don't start the Distributor. Use SQL backup/restore to build the HDS. Now start the Distributor and check that Replication is all working - increase the trace on rpl to 0xfff so you can see the msgs - check on the logger side with similar trace mask.
    3) About the Central Controller: there are the Logger DB, will this DB has some missing as there is not method to recover this for the last moments (before moving live)?
    If you do it correctly using SQL backup/restore you will not lose data. If you have to keep the contact center running on side B while you do side A, things will be a bit more complicated - read the Upgrade Guide to see how logger synchronization solves this.
    As I said, if you can have a 12 hour maintenance window for the migration of the CC and bring the whole contact center down to migrate, life will be easier.
    As I see the most critical part in this upgrade is not loosing the configuration and it is not the need to build every thing manual (as the moving for registry is easy, and the restore for the database is easy) but the system to become up and running is also easy, but the hard part is the avoid loosing the data. Correct? All the need to have the training is to be around how to avoid loosing the data? But no worry that service will be up and running by having the restore for the database and moving the registry.
    I don't follow that paragraph. Backup and restore and import of the registry solves this. Nothing will be lost. Read the Upgrade Guide again.
    Do you have a lab system you can practice the migration on? Without this, the risk is huge. You must get a step by step plan written down, and trial this on the lab system.

  • New Hardware-Old OS Version

    I have an application that is supported only on 2.6. I have a new Sun220R, and due to a Purchasing Snafu, no OS Media Kit was sent with it. I have an older issue of 2.6 (5/98) that I can load up. Will this Code or build version work with this new hardware?
    I am desperate, I have a new box with no OS, and am not sure when the Purchase of new OS will be done. Luckily I am not to blame for the screwup. YET!

    Yes, you can install 2.6 5/98 on your E220R. If the processor speed is 450mhz you will need to boot the Operating Environment Installation CD that came with your E220R . Check inside the front cover of the booklet "Installing Solaris on selected Hardware".

  • SQL cluster 2008 R2 migration to new Hardware in VM

    Hi,
    We have a task to migrate existing Physical SQL Cluster DB to new Hardware but in VM. (cannot argue with the client)
    hence our plan is to install new Cluster in VM with same Windows and SQL version i.e Win 2K8 R2 ENT w/SP and SQL 2K8
    R2 STD w/SP and use SQL mirroring option for the DB to migrate on the new Server (keeping the downtime to as low as possible and advantage of bringing the old server online in case of any issues..)
    Below points are for a single instance, couple of DB to migrate:
    Keep the  physical production server running
    In-Parallel build New SQL Cluster in VM (keep same version windows/sql)
    Keep Same drive letter for Quorum, MSDTC, DATA, LOG & Backup
    Keep the same Instance Name, SQL Network Name can be different (will be changed to old network name once the PROD is shutdown)
    Check all logins windows and SQL to be same on both the clusters
    Copy all the jobs, SSIS packages etc.. .create the location folder as per current server on the VM SQL Cluster
    Perform full backup of old cluster company-db databases or use the existing latest backup (full, differential, transaction)
    Restore databases in the new cluster with no recovery so additional log file or differential backup can be restored
    Create SQL Mirroring for the Database and select the principal server (old cluster) and the mirror server (new VM cluster)
    Choose mirroring without witness ( no auto failover as we don’t need the old server later)
    Start the mirroring – (hopefully everything synchronized and working)
    During the downtime –
    Stop the application/ client connection – if possible
    Failover the DB through Mirroring option
    Once the mirrored server becomes Principal and data is accessible – stop the mirroring
    Now the new VM SQL Cluster DB is online
    Shutdown the old cluster company-db (Node1 & Node2)
    Come back to VM SQL Cluster and change the Network name to the old server network name (so that client connections are not affected)
    Check if the DNS entries are updated with correct name and IP address
    Delete DNS entries for old company-db on DNS Servers if not deleted, delete the old server SQL network name in computer object
    Stop SQL Resources on the new VM SQL Cluster (take it offline all the resources)
    Bring online the SQL Resource and make sure the SQL resources are online and new network name is reachable
    Wait till you see machine name company-db in active directly (AD) and DNS server will have entry for company-db
    Verify connectivity for company-db from outside.
    If things are not going as per the plan then shut down the new VM cluster
    Revert back the DNS settings
    Power up the Old SQL Server
    The DB will show “restoring mode” – use command to make it online “RESTORE DATABASE (dbname) WITH RECOVERY”
     Check the DB
    Start using the OLD server again
    Troubleshoot the failed scenario ;)
    Need to know if the above steps are okay, and any consideration once the new VM SQL Cluster is online.
    Kindly let me know if there anything else to transfer apart from the logins, jobs, folder location etc.. !! 
    Many Thanks

    Hello,
    Well if you don’t change the instance name (name = ABC) then its OK.
    Try the following resources about transferring SQL Server logins:

  • Migrate Sun Cluster (+RACdisks to new hardware running Sun Cluster ( + RAC)

    Hello,
    We have old hardware (v490s) running Sun Cluster 3.2 + Oracle RAC 10.2.0.4.0 connected to SAN. We need to move to T4. Oracle advised against including new hardware into existing cluster, so we are planning on building a new cluster with T4's, same software (Solaris 10, Sun Cluster 3.2, RAC 10.2.0.4.0).
    When ready, we plan to shut down existing cluster, zone new cluster to existing disks and bring up everything on new hardware (simply stated).
    Will it work?
    Any gotchas - like need to clear disk ids or Sun Cluster panicking? RAC panicking? Any reference docs out there?
    Thanks
    user12961096

    Do we absolutely need that in our new setup or could we forgo that additional layer? Would Sun Cluster give us anything that the OS + RAC doesn't give us?Yes, Oracle Solaris Cluster does make things a lot easier. It looks after your device space and gives you consistent DID devices for CRS/RAC. It gives you the choice to use sQFS, raw metasets, or ASM. It has clprivnet which is a lot easier and performs better than an IPMP solution. The node failure detection time is <= 10 seconds which is quicker than CRS on it's own and it uses SCSI fencing instead of a STONITH approach. Finally, you have all the off the shelf agents that Solaris Cluster offers.
    However, if you are only doing RAC and you just want ASM and you don't need the last few seconds of failure detection that OSC gives you and you think STONITH is good enough for your fencing purposes, then CRS on its own is perfect. There are many, many deployments both with and without OSC, it's not a simple yes/no answer.
    Having worked for the Solaris Cluster group, I'm still slightly bias to including it rather than going without. Others have the alternate view! :-)
    Hope that helps,

  • Do Combo Updates include new hardware drivers / info?

    So I'm having a debate with fellow OS X techies and we're split and would like to know a more definitive answer.
    Do OS X Combo Updates actually take into account new hardware released after the .0 release of an OS? So for instance, 10.6 was released. Since then several Mac models have been introduced. Can I use the 10.6 retail DVD on the newer Mac models if I cannot locate those discs, and then run Combo Update to 10.6.4 on say a recent MBP? Or must I use the 10.6.3 MBP discs and move to 10.6.4 for true compatibility?
    When 10.6.5 is released to the public, can that be used for the new Mac Minis that have a special build of 10.6.4?

    Here is one case right now the Mid-2010 Mac Pro all run OS X builds that are later than 10.6.4 (and there are likely changes even here every two weeks as they ship). Drivers needed for new graphic cards (ATI 5870 and 5770) are newer than ATI drivers for say iMac 2010 that has an ATI graphics unit.
    And changes to support new processors, memory configurations, native booting into 64-bit kernel mode, to name a few changes.
    Eventually all of those changes should make their way into general available standalone updates (delta and combo) at some point.
    As for your need to build images, I'll leave that to others to sift through. My gut feeling, that OS X Server is the only time/place that would fit in. Windows Home Server NAS products like HP Smart MediaServer NAS support TimeMachine, SuperDuper, and ability to manage a mix of Macs and PCs. Something an Xserve in a client-server environment, with even more tools to deploy and handle remove images and push updates (and store updates locally rather than each seat have to redownload all over again).
    Nehalem family of processors shipped in early 2009, before that was Penryn and found in say Mid-2008 iMac, Early Mac Pro 2008 (I'm sure you know or can find that on Apple or even Wikipedia on Macs and Intel processors).

  • Moving system to new hardware with Windows Virtual Host Name

    I am building a new system using note  "1564276 - How to install An SAP System on Windows using Virtual Host Names" because I have read that it will be easier to move to new hardware in the future.  How is it easier and what would the process be?  I can't get my mind around how I move to new hardware without re-installing.

    Hi Mary,
    If you follow SAP tools and guidelines it is supported for Production environment as well.
    For eg: Using SAP LVM tool we can create clones of systems which are supported using this tool.
    1709155 - System Provisioning with SAP Landscape Virtualization Management
    1767253 - SAP's recommended approach to system copy
    In case you are not licensed for LVM tool, suggestion here would be to perform a PoC which covers
    - Creating clone of Production
    - Isolate the PRoduction clone by removing DNS entries
    - Test the Production clone
    - Roll out solution to final migration.
    Note: In case you have a JAVA stack system above approach may not help. In that case you may need to go with R3load export/import option and then move the virtual hostname to the new hardware.
    Hope this helps.

    If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate.  The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

  • Backing up and restoring a member DC to new hardware.

    Hello,
    Sounds simple to me but I want to be sure on what I'm doing.
    We have many sites with a domain controller at each location. The DC with all the FSMO roles is here at Corp. I need to move one of our member DC controller at a different site to new hardware. It is a Global Catalog, DNS, DHCP and file server.
    Can I do this by using windows backup to back up System State, Bare Metal Recovery, System Reserve and Local Disk C: (Full Server) and restore it to the new Hardware as long as my HDD are same or bigger?  Please remember this is a member DC.
    I really hope to avoid the demotion of the current member DC and installing a fresh OS on the new hardware and promoting that to a DC.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If there are other healthy domain controllers online for the domain, we recommend that you do not perform a restore at all. Instead, perform a new installation of Windows on the destination computer and run the Active Directory Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe)
    to make the installation a replica in an existing domain.
    You can recover a member DC to new hardwarethe. The hard drives you are recovering data to must be as large as—or larger than—the drives that are included in the backup set.
    For more detailed information, please refer to the articles below:

  • Best Practice to migrate existing Message/Central Instance to new hardware?

    I've done some searching for this, but it all seems to be fairly old (I found one decent thread from 2008, but it just seemed outdated).  I would like to get some updated info & suggestions on a process to follow for this task.
    Here is some info about the current config:
    I have an existing SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 system.  SID "XYZ"
    Everything is currently running on Windows x64.
    ABAP only config.
    It is currently setup as a distributed system.
    DB server is SQL, which is running on its own hardware as a dedicated DB server.  I don't need to touch this.
    Uses logon groups to distribute the load between 3 App servers.
    One of the App Servers is setup as the Message/CI server. This is what I am wanting to move to VM hardware.
    The other two App Servers are setup just as Dialog Instances.  VM already.  I don't need to touch these.
    What I am wanting to do:
    I am wanting to migrate the existing Message/CI server to VM hardware to get the current Message/CI system off of very old hardware.
    I need to keep the system with the same name & IP.
    I do not need/want to mess with the DB server at all. 
    Need to minimize downtime as much as possible.
    I do NOT want to go to an HA environment.  That is a different project for the future.
    Suggestions? I would like to hear what some of you have done.
    Minimize downtime?  I have a short maintenance window of a few hours coming up in the next few months, and would like to do this changeover during that downtime.
    How do I handle setting this up on the new hardware using the same name & IP, especially with the existing system still running.
    What I think I need to do: (Some of these may be out of order, which is why I'm asking for suggestions)
    Setup new Windows VM server, named differently than current Message/CI server (Done already).
    Run SAPINST to run Global Host Preparation on the new Windows VM server.
    Run SAPINST to setup ASCS Instance on the new Windows VM server.
    Skip the Database Instance installation, since I already have one running.
    Run SAPINST to setup Central Instance on the new Windows VM server.
    Copy all of the appropriate profile parameters that were on the old server.
    Start SAP and make sure everything is running and working correctly.
    Copy all job, spool files, etc. from the old server.
    What needs to be done in between those steps for the server rename & IP changes?
    Which of these steps can I do in advance of my maintenance downtime window, without it affecting the currently running system?
    I have a test environment that I am going to test this with.  I'm just trying to get a jump start on my instructions, so that I can hopefully do this quickly and easily.  I'm very comfortable doing the installs.  Just needing some guidance on how to handle this case.
    I'm open to suggestions, and any links you can send my way that show some more recent success at doing this.  Everything I keep finding talks about doing the migration for the DB.  I am not migrating my DB.  It is staying where it is.  I'm just wanting to migrate my Message/Central Instance to a VM, without affecting the users, and hopefully them never noticing the changes.
    Thanks!

    If you're using VMWare, there is a tool provided to virtualize existing systems.  Basically it makes a copy of the old system (while it is down) and recreates it as a VM with the same name, IP, etc.  I haven't double-checked to see if this process is 'officially' supported by SAP, and I don't know the technical details about how it's done or how long it will take (VMWare is managed by the Network Operations group in my team, so as the SAP sysadmin I'm basically a customer of theirs).  However, we have virtualized a few smaller systems that needed to get off failing hardware in a hurry and it worked very well, so I would expect it would for an SAP dialog instance as well.  As you're not copying a database, just the app server, it probably would fit within your maintenance window.
    If this route works for you, then there is no need to actually install the SAP system on the VM instance... you just copy the old server as-is, then make any adjustments required due to no longer needing old drivers, etc, plus potentially having different memory parameters.

  • ITunes 6.0.1: "Found New Hardware: iPodService"

    I posted this yesterday in the "Upgrading, etc." forum, but have not received any responses or help; I thought it might be more visible in this forum. Since I posted, I did find a few posts that I thought would help, and I tried the suggestions, with no success. The problem still occurs:
    I downloaded and installed iTunes 6.0.1, and despite my fears -- after reading other posts -- that I would have problems with the new iTunes, so far it has worked fine, even though I did install it over the old version.
    But after I installed it, I shut down my computer and went back to it later; and when I started it up again, I got a message in the taskbar: "Found New Hardware: iPodService". (I'm using Windows XP.) Then it went to Install New Hardware. [I get the error EVERY TIME I boot up.]
    It asks me if I want to install from a disk, but of course since I downloaded the program, I don't have a disk. I tried using the CD-ROM I got with my iPod, but it couldn't find what it needed there. And not only that, I didn't install any new hardware, only software!
    I have searched the Apple Discussions for help, with no results; it seems like nobody else has had this problem.
    What do I do to fix this, ignore it, or keep it from happening again? I did search a little online, and I found out that the iPodservice.exe program isn't essential, so I could simply go to Task Manager and end the process, but I want to be sure about it first.
    Any help with this is appreciated.

    DEZ3124,
    I want to change the default location of the music libary, so I went through the edit | preferences | consolidate library processes...which seemed to work fine.
    This method will change the location of the iTunes Music folder but the the iTunes folder itself will be left behind in its original place: C:\Documents and Settings\user name\My Documents\My Music. This makes iTunes (and by extension will also make you) much happier and in this case you'll be well-advised to let it have its way.
    Note that all the actual music files you now have, as well as those you will add in the future(which take up the bulk of the space on your hard drive), will be in the new location. The iTunes folder will be left behind with the iTunes Library files which don't take up much space at all ... if that's a concern.
