Cisco service orinted data centre or sun SODC (SDN)

Hi,
Can anyone provide me the comparison of Cisco service orinted data centre and sun SDN specifically the critical analysis of SUN SODC (SDN).

Is Cisco now building "software instances" that are more service based as opposed to routers? For instance could the CSR1000v evolve to become the "appliance of the cisco portfolio"? Should Cisco write software for netflow analysis running on UNIX/ Wintel when they have already written software in the shape of the Master Controller that is already doing this? If this is the case would they only really need to develop a web front end or XML API that would provide human readable format for the presentation of this data, if not why not use the CSR1000v as a platform for this development? With PfR, FabricPath/TRILL, and LISP is there a justification for getting maybe a more graphical visibility of traffic flows like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dHH_nVPyug or is the intention to leave this for third parties?

Self Service Restore - Data Centre Failure

I'm evaluating the new 'Standard' tier of SQL database and self service restore feature. My question is about where the backups are stored for self service restore and whether they help in a full data centre failure. e.g. If my Standard SQL db is in Europe
West and the only backup I am using is the in built self service restore. Do I have any protection if Europe West has a major DR event? Or do I still need to export the databases to blob storage to handle this kind of event? (Whereby I would need to restore
to Europe North manually)

As indicated in the "Service Tiers Details" table in this
blog posting , we have a couple of new features which are not yet enabled for the new tiers.
One feature will be the ability to restore a database to an alternate datacenter in case the primary data center you are using is not available OR for any other reason you may want to restore a database in an alternate location. This recovery option
uses geo-replicated backups. For this feature we only geo-replicate the full and daily backups but not the log backups so point-in-time restore is not possible but you will have an RPO of less than 24-hours. Think of this as always having access
to daily off-site backups from any location. This feature will be available for Basic, Standard and Premium.
The second feature which we will enable later is the geo-replication for Standard. This feature will allow you to opt-in for geo-replicating your Standard database to a passive secondary in an alternate location. We will have more details about
this feature in a few weeks.
Until you have access to one of the above two features you will have to use the export-to-blob for the datacenter failure case. We are working hard to deliver the above two features as soon as we can.
I hope this helps.

How to relocate a Data Centre

Dear Netpro gurus,
I have been tasked with relocation of the Data Centre at work. does anyone out there who has any good tips / articles on how to do a successful Data Centre re-location?
Cheers,
Hunt

Questions thay i would ask if i get something similar...
- how much is the bearable downtime
- Does the network topology gives flexibility to use new ip subnets so that i may prepare some functionality at destination site before relocation.
- do i have the complete design document of existing DC physical connectivity
- Have i already been provided with the internet/intranet links at new site
- do i have planned for the power, space and cooling requirements for my infra and have i done the dite survey to know if that has been provisioned
- have the resources from each stakeholder been identified, engaged and scheduled
- do i have the checklist for all the network and service readiness tests to be done after thr relocation...

Data centre connectivity options

Hello
I am currently investigating a dual data centre design running
in active/active mode. The data centres will each have connectivity to
our WAN (MPLS) and to the Internet. They will have also have dedicated
links to each other for site replication etc.
Having read a few of the Cisco SRND's what i am still a little unclear
about is whether it is better to connect the two data centres over the
dedicated link using layer 2 or layer 3 and what the pros and cons are of
each. I would appreciate any experiences (good and bad) that people have had
in this area.
My instinct is to go layer 3 eliminating a potential spanning tree issue
that could affect both data centres but i am sure there are more issues
than this to take into account.
Many thanks

i have redundant data centers and they have been setup as follows for specific reasons:
(these data centers are not separated by a WAN, if they were, a T3 or better would be required in my case but i'd opt for a metro fiber type of solution to provide GB+)
using the 3 hierarchial network design: core, distribution, access
1) the CORE is L3/routed; we do not want a L2/switched core for a few reasons. one is to allieviate STP and its inherent problems.
(the core should be moving packets as fast and predictable as possible; stp can interrupt this and cause complete packet forwarding delay or worse; with todays routers, they can route packets just as fast as switching them, or faster in some cases)
2) the distribution layer is switched with fully meshed GB or greater trunks to both the cores. also provides redundant intra VLAN routing for all the VLANs controlled in their specific 'distribution blocks'; i have 5 fully redundant distribution blocks with VLAN routing and VLAN load balancing via HSRP.
(i channel upto 6 GB trunks in a given link)
3) the access layer is switched with fully meshed GB or greater trunks to at least two distribution switches per access switch; one trunk to each core, at least.
(there is no routing performed at the access layer)
other reasons such as the routing operation, location and number of distribution switches, administration and speed affect the design.

SQL Server multiple data centres - Synchronization

Hello,
I am new to MSSQL. We have a web application that used MSSQL 2012 as backend. We now plan to have the same application hosted in another data centre. We are able to provide the geo-redundancy/HA for the web application.
But we also need to make sure that our SQL databases are always in SYNC. The web application in primary data centre is always going to serve all requests. The backup application will only be online if the primary data centre server is down or in maintenance
mode (once every two weeks).
How can we achieve the SQL replication (both ways) over the WAN making sure that all data is up-to date. We have users constantly updating information so data is written frequently to the DB (every 5-10 minutes on average).
Thanks

Why do I have so many connection to Apple data centres?

My home network was a little slow tonight, so checked the traffic flow on the router. I found hundreds of secure connection to a range of addresses, after checking, I have noted most the remote addresses are Apple data centres and all the internal addresses are from IOS devices. I have around 6 devices at home, all IOS8.
These conection are not sending large amounts of data and not slowing things too much, however I am keen to know what these connections are for.

What services do you have enabled in your iGadget?
Location? Find My iPad? Background App Refresh? Handoff? The iCloud services? To mention a few. And that's just the OS.

Data centre outage Australia

Anyone on the Australian data centre experiencing slow response times and outages today? No info on the BC status site and their support chat is offline.

Hi Simon,
Please accept our apologies for the outage earlier today.
It was caused by one our loadbalancers crashing without notice - our Operations team restarted the load balancer and the service was restored.
Investigation will continue offline to determine the root cause and put up measures in place to prevent this from happening again.
Once again, please accept our apologies for this incident.
Kind regards,
Florin

FabricPath & Layer-3 VPNs (VRF) between 2 Data Centres

Hi there,
I'm looking at deploying FabricPath for layer-2 extension between 2 Data Centres.
We also have the requirement for providing layer-3 services between the 2 DC, as in Layer-3 VPN (MPLS VPN).
The alternative technology was MPLS, with full blown Layer-3 VPN, and Layer-2 VPNs through AToM or VPLS.
My question is, how can we provide VRF support over FabricPath?? Can we use 2 routers with VRF lite configuration in each DC, then dot1q on the trunk through the Fabric Path? Or just VRF Lite on the layer-3 terminating routers, with a specific VLAN for interconnecting the different VRFs?
Thanks,

Fabricpath is L2; not related to the L3 technology you want to use; if VRF are in use you can just use VLANs which is described in your first scenario : "use 2 routers with VRF lite configuration in each DC, then dot1q on the trunk through the Fabric Path"

Service Item data in Datamart?

Hi,
Just wondering if there is a way to send Service Item data into datamart using ETL? We want to be able to reporting on the SI data in a custom report.
Thank you.

Hello, I am interested in learning more on this new feature. We have requirements for ServiceItems we are planning on implementing services using SI, but most likely won't occur until we upgrade to 10R2. I have been reading 9.4 documentation for ServiceItems and find it difficult to follow. Are there other sources or resources to assist with learning how to use a serviceitem? Outside training is not an option. Thanks again. Bev

How to access a Network Share between two servers in same data centre

I have two dedicated servers (both Windows 2012 Server) hosted in a data centre somewhere. I want to share a folder on one server with the other server, but it's obviously not as straight forward as one might think. My servers are called "Maximus"
and "Apprentice".
On Maximus I shared a folder by right clicking on it and choosing "Share with... / Specific People", I then typed in the name of a local user account which also exists on Apprentice with the same name and password. (so each server has a local
user account with the same name and password).
So then on Apprentice, I was hoping I could access the share (while being logged in as this user with whom the folder was shared) by simply typing "\\ipaddress\sharename" into the address bar in file explorer. Unfortunately it comes
back with "Windows can not access [ip address]".
Now, I do have a website setup on the IP address for Maximus. This is actually the reason I want to create this share. I need the second server for load balancing and need to share IIS config as well as the website itself. (So I will need
two shares eventually, but for now I'm just trying to get one to work). I don't know if the fact that the ip address is pointing to the website is causing me problems here or if it's something else.
Are there any network gurus out there who can tell me what the issue is and how to resolve it?

I can ping both servers in either direction, but I believe I may have found the problem. Apparently my host is blocking port 445 which Windows wants to use to connect to the share and they will not unblock it.
Is there a way to connect to the share through a different port?
To my knowledge, you cannot change the port. However, you can try disabling your security software for testing. If this fixes the problem then you need to adjust your security software configuration so that traffic on this port is not blocked or filtered.

Service manager console can't connect to Service manager data warehouse SQL reporting services

We have a four server set-up where SCSM, SCDW, and sqls for both are on different servers. Also I have red that this could be a SPN problem, but this has been worked on last week without the SPNs.

On the computer you get the "SQL Reporting Services server is currently unavailable" message please open the Internet Explorer and try to connect to the URL <a href="http:///reports">http://<NameOfReportingServer>/reports
This should open the reporting website in IE. If this isn't working you should check the proxy settings in IE. If the URL doesn't work in IE it won't work in the SCSM console as well (and vice versa).

Actually I can't access to the reporting website. It asks me credentials 3 times and then return a blank page. Also error message comes to the EventViewer System log with id 4 and source Security-Kerberos.
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server "accountname".
The target name used was HTTP/"reporting services fqn". This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client.
This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using.
Ensure that the target SPN is only registered on the account used by the server.
This error can also happen if the target service account password is different than what is configured on the Kerberos Key Distribution Center for that target service.
Ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both configured to use the same password.
If the server name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (domain.com) is different from the client domain (domain.com), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains,
or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.
I can access the website directly from the server which hosts Reporting Services.
Also I query "setspn -Q HTTP/"reporting services fqn" whit result NO SUCH SPN FOUND.

Can "SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field" take multiple values ?

In Generic Technology Connector's -SPML design parameters section, Can we give multiple values in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field?
If not, how can i call methods directly instead of calling them through a values of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type?
I need 'SPML Web Service Complex Data Type' to hold multiple values.And based on the request it has to initiate appropriate method of action.
Presently i have three methods add,modify and delete which i am calling through a single value of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type.
I want to replace this single value with multiple menthods , so that a direct interaction between the method,OIM and target can be established.

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).
