Cloned two vm cluster nodes from development cluster to act as template to create production cluster

Morning,
There was so much done to setup the development cluster, I thought it would be easy to have the two nodes in the cluster cloned. To my surprise, the development cluster was up and happily running on the new vm servers. Stopping resources verifies
it is stopping and starting resources on the original cluster. I am not sure how to safely have the two new servers not manage the development cluster and create a new production cluster on them.
I am hesitant to destroy the cluster as I suspect it will destroy the real development cluster. How do I do this? How do I delete the windows cluster software and re-install without affecting the development cluster?
Note that I tried to create a new cluster in the failover cluster manager and specify the new vm cluster servers, but it says they are part of a cluster already. I do not see them listed as nodes. I am not sure how to see what cluster it thinks
the new servers are part of or how to not make them part of the development cluster. That might be the path to my solution.

This actually has worked out okay. I found these steps and did them on both of the nodes that were claiming to be in a cluster already:
powershell
Import-Module FailoverClusters;
clear-clusternode

Add cluster nodes from multiple machines to WebLogic domain in OEM 10.2.0.5

Hello,
I want to monitor a WebLogic domain in Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.5 with the following layout:
- Admin server on machine 1
- managed server, cluster node a on machine 2
- managed server, cluster node b on machine 3
How can I do this?
When I go to "Add Weblogic Domain", I can enter the admin adress (machine 1) and tick the box to say that there is an agent running on another host (where I specify machine 2). However I do not see a possibility to discover managed servers from machine 3.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Nadja

Restarting J2EE server nodes from Developer Studio Vs SAP Management Consol

Hi,
What makes the difference between restarting server nodes from Dev Studio and SAP Management console.
Please let me know if any documents related to this.
Thanks

Thanks for your quick reply.
I observed that options for restarting services from Dev Studio are disabled.
Could you please let me know where we need to configure to enable these options when right click on server instances.
Thanks

How can I update cluster items from inside a while loop that does not contain the cluster?

I have a VI that contains front panel clusters and two while loops. The main cluster contains items such as a doubles "distance" and "stepsize" and boolean "step" (a whole buch of this type stuff). The first loop contains an event structure to detect front panel changes and the second contains code and sub VIs to perform operations based on detected events.
The operator can enter data into either double or click the boolean. If distance is changed the second loop does what is required to process the change. The same happens with stepsize. If step is clicked the ±stepsize value is added to distance and the result is processed. In each case the front panel should track the result of the input and subsequent processing.
Because the clusters are outside the while loop, they are not updated unless I click 'highlight execution' which seems to allow updating each time the execution highlight is updated. There are other issues if I move the clusters into one of the loops.
I've tried referencing the clusters and using local variables and nothing works. It looks like overkill to use shared variables for this.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi Ben,
Thank you for the response. I followed the link and tried reading everything you posted on AEs but I'm afraid that I didn't understand it all. It seems that each AE example had a single input and a single output (e.g. a double). Is this the case?
What I have is a couple of front panel clusters containing (approximately) 18 control doubles, 8 indicator doubles, 5 boolean radio button constructs and 26 boolean control discretes. I clusterized it to make it readable. In addition I'll eventually have a cluster of task references for hardware handles.
All I want to do is update the front panel values like I would do in a C, VB or any other language. I've tried referencing the cluster and using the reference from inside the loops. I've tied using local variables. Neither works. I'm experimenting with globals but it seems that I have to construct the front panel in the gloabal and then I wouldn't know how to repoduce that on the front panel of the main VI. Sometimes it seems that more time is spent getting around Labview constructs than benefitting from them.
I hope the 'Add Attachment' function actuals puts a copy of the VI here and not a link to it.
Thanks again for the suggestion,
Frank

Not all of the host cluster nodes are marked as possible owners for the vms on this cluster

I get this message in a cluster's properties after having replaced nodes' hardware (but keeping the same names). I noticed that some of the VMs in their settings have all the nodes but one checked as Possible Owners.
What is a quick (PowerShell) way to find these VMs and check all the nodes as Possible Owners? I see this page (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj628161.aspx) as how
to do it in the GUI, but I want to do it with a script. I haven't yet found a VMM cmdlet that sets the Possible Owners of a VM.

Something like
Get-SCVirtualMachine | `
Where-Object{ ( $_.VirtualizationPlatform -eq "HyperV" ) -and $_.IsHighlyAvailable -and ( $_.ClusterNonPossibleOwner.count -gt 0 ) } `
| Foreach-object{ Set-SCVirtualMachine -VM $_ -ClusterNonPossibleOwner ( @() ) | Out-Null }

What are the preferred methods for backing up a cluster node bootdisk?

Hi,
I would like to use flarcreate to backup the bootdisks for each of the nodes in my cluster... but I cannot see this method mentioned in any cluster documentation...
Has anybody used flash backups for cluster nodes before (and more importantly - successfully restored a cluster node from a flash image..?)
Thanks very much,
Trevor

Hi, some backround on this - I need to patch some production cluster nodes, and obviously would like to backup the rootdisk of each node before doing this.
What I really need is some advice about the best method to backup & patch my cluster node (with a recovery method also).
The sun documentation for this says to use ufsdump, which i have used in the past - but will FLAR do the same job? - has anyone had experiance using FLAR to restore a cluster node?
Or if someone has some other solutions for patching the nodes? - maybe offline my root mirror (SVM) - patch root disk - barring any major problems - online the mirror again??
Cheers, Trevor

Cluster connectivity from OMS console

I've successfully installed 10g agent (10.2.0.4) on a linux cluster, but I'm having problems with cluster and database connectivity from the console (10gR4 on solaris 10). I can ssh to both cluster nodes from the OMS server no problem. I can sqlplus to cluster database from the OMS server as well. But when I try to use the same credentials in console, I'm getting "Connection to crs01 as user oracle failed.". Message in emoms.trc doesn't reveal much either:
"2008-10-08 10:38:24,033 [EMUI_10_38_22_/console/pref/setCredentials$targetType=host] ERROR creds.SetPrefCreds testCreds.1592 - SetPrefCreds.testCreds(): CredsException: Connection to crs01 as user oracle failed.".
Same for database connection ("Connection to TSTRAC as user system failed.", "2008-10-08 10:40:10,404 [EMUI_10_40_10_/console/pref/setCredentials$targetType=oracle*_database] ERROR creds.SetPrefCreds testCreds.1592 - SetPrefCreds.testCreds(): CredsException: Connection to TSTRAC as user system failed."
Any advice or tip how to setup more detailed tracing?
Thanks,
Julius

Yes, that's how I discovered I had a problem :) I was entering preferred credentials and tried to test and it failed. So I tried from a telnet session on oms server and it worked. I can't connect from oms console only. Do you know where the oms gets connection description from? Tnsnames.ora?

Could not open (SQL) error log on passive cluster node

Hi. We have SCCM 2012 SP1 installation using clustered SQL instance running on 2-node SQL Server 2012 cluster.
On the passive SQL node that's not running the SCCM SQL instance, there are repeated errors in the eventlog with ID 17058, source MSSQL$SCCM: "initerrlog: Could not open error log file 'K:\MSSQL11.SCCM\MSSQL\Log\ERRORLOG'. Operating system error = 3(The
system cannot find the path specified.)."
While searching I've found out this is caused by the "SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_<siteservername>" service that is registered on both SQL nodes and has startup type of Automatic and therefore is running on both nodes simultaneously.
In the smssqlbackup.log file on the passive node, there are errors "SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUPFailed to start SQL Server.Error code = 0x0.", which make sense, since the SQL instance is already running on the second node. Therefore it fails.
This seems like a very bad design bug, can it be prevented/fixed? I could configure our monitoring system to ignore this error, but I would rather not...
Why is that service running on both (all) SQL cluster nodes simultaneously? Why isn't it made part of the cluster resource group or something like that?

Try on the passive node remove: SQLServer Name\InstanceName
From the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_<SiteServer>\SQL
Server Instance.

OES2 SP2a cluster node freeze

Hi all.
I have a 3 node cluster based on OES2 SP2a fully patched. There are a coupe of resources: Master_IP and a NSS volume.
The cluster is virtualized on ESXi 4.1 fully patched, and vmware-tools are installed and up to date.
If i do an "rcnetwork stop" on a node, it remains with no network for about 20 seconds, and then freezes. Does not reboot. Only freezes. The resource is balanced correctly, but the server remains hanged.
This behaviour is the same on a server with a cluster resource on it and on a server with no cluster resource on it. Always hangs.
The correct behaviour should be a reboot, shouldn't?
Any hints?
Thanks in advance.

The node does not reboot because ....
9.11 Preventing a Cluster Node Reboot after a Node Shutdown
If LAN connectivity is lost between a cluster node and the other nodes in the cluster, it is possible that the lost node will be automatically shut down by the other cluster nodes. This is normal cluster operating behavior, and it prevents the lost node from trying to load cluster resources because it cannot detect the other cluster nodes. By default, cluster nodes are configured to reboot after an automatic shutdown.
On certain occasions, you might want to prevent a downed cluster node from rebooting so you can troubleshoot problems.
Section 9.11.1, OES 2 SP2 with Patches and Later
Section 9.11.2, OES 2 SP2 Release Version and Earlier
9.11.1 OES 2 SP2 with Patches and Later
Beginning in the OES 2 SP2 Maintenance Patch for May 2010, the Novell Cluster Services reboot behavior conforms to the kernel panic setting for the Linux operating system. By default the kernel panic setting is set for no reboot after a node shutdown.
You can set the kernel panic behavior in the /etc/sysctl.conf file by adding a kernel.panic command line. Set the value to 0 for no reboot after a node shutdown. Set the value to a positive integer value to indicate that the server should be rebooted after waiting the specified number of seconds. For information about the Linux sysctl, see the Linux man pages on sysctl and sysctl.conf.
1.
As the root user, open the /etc/sysctl.conf file in a text editor.
2.
If the kernel.panic token is not present, add it.
kernel.panic = 0
3.
Set the kernel.panic value to 0 or to a positive integer value, depending on the desired behavior.
No Reboot: To prevent an automatic cluster reboot after a node shutdown, set the kernel.panic token to value to 0. This allows the administrator to determine what caused the kernel panic condition before manually rebooting the server. This is the recommended setting.
kernel.panic = 0
Reboot: To allow a cluster node to reboot automatically after a node shutdown, set the kernel.panic token to a positive integer value that represents the seconds to delay the reboot.
kernel.panic = <seconds>
For example, to wait 1 minute (60 seconds) before rebooting the server, specify the following:
kernel.panic = 60
4.
Save your changes.
9.11.2 OES 2 SP2 Release Version and Earlier
In OES 2 SP release version and earlier, you can modify the opt/novell/ncs/bin/ldncs file for the cluster to trigger the server to not automatically reboot after a shutdown.
1.
Open the opt/novell/ncs/bin/ldncs file in a text editor.
2.
Find the following line:
echo -n $TOLERANCE > /proc/sys/kernel/panic
3.
Replace $TOLERANCE with a value of 0 to cause the server to not automatically reboot after a shutdown.
4.
After editing the ldncs file, you must reboot the server to cause the change to take effect.

Until you provide some hints about operating system for each of the RAC machines, the networking you have installed (and whether you have the interconnect running), the shared disk mechanism (and whether it is confirmed shared raw or ASM), the Oracle software versions, whether your systems passed cluster verify ... we would be wasting our time guessing.

SharePoint 2013 : Migration of customization from development server to production server

Dear all,
I have the following scenario and servers:
1. Development Server; (Server where our developers would develop our dms and/or enhancement based on change request)
2. Test Server; (Test server where our users will test the system (dms) and/or enhancement requested)
3. Production Server (Our production server where only our end users will have access , developers wont have access to this env.)
My question is how to migrate our changes from development server to test server and finally to production server?
Is there a mechanism/ guide /best practice approach for this?
Any help/guide would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks & regards
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
Thanks for posting your issue, Moving stuff from environment to environment will depending on your stuff;
Content, like list items and documents, can't be easily moved. They can be moved with 3rd party solutions, or custom code. You can do it with a C# solution or even using PowerShell.
Stuff like lists, libraries, master pages, CSS, etc. should be packaged in a solution file, either sand box or farm solution. This solution file can contain all of the assets you require, and then it can be deployed into a new environment, which then provisions
all the stuff you need (it could also load up test/sample data if needed)
Another nice solution, if you're working with a brand new site, is to back it up and restore it into another environment. That helps get the bulk of the stuff copied over, and then you can use one of the above methods for continuing updates.
Also, check out below mentioned URL to move content from on environment to another environment

Transfering project from development to staging

Hello Everybody,
I have developed one software component in one track. Now, i want to move this develeopment to from development server to test server and then to production server.
For this, what all care i have to take in order to move whole development properly.
This development includes some java tables, EJBs and webdynpro applications.
What should be order of transfering to test and production system considering all dependencies?

Hello Everybody,
I have released nine activities for Java dictionary tables dc seperately.
Then i have clubed rest of the Java dictionary dc activities into single request and then released.
In consolidation tab of CMS of transport studio, I selected all these release activities and imported into assembly tab. But, it failed showing that Assembly failed.
I went to the log and it was saying that DC is broken.
it means Dc cannot build by CBS properly.
What should be the reason behind this?
Application is working perfectly on Development environment.
Thanks in advance,

Can you cluster two nodes from subnet A with the cluster itself residing in subnet B?

We have a situation in a cloud deployment where the servers are automatically provisioned through a cloud portal with IP addressed from subnet A. Because we require static IP for clustering, the static IP can only be provisioned from subnet B for
use by the cluster. Is it possible to create a cluster from the two nodes in subnet A from a cluster IP in subnet B? I cannot find any mention of this particular network configuration for a Windows cluster. We are using the cluster to support
SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn Availability Groups.

Hi Sir,
>>the servers are automatically provisioned through a cloud portal with IP addressed from subnet A.
Did you try to create a new VM then give it an static IP from subnet B then check if the VM can be accessed from outside ?

Removing live nodes from cluster view.

Hi All,
          We are experiencing some JMS problems connected with a cluster node being
          hung for some time.
          The following took place just before the problem arises:
          1. First of all one of the nodes (the first) gets one thread
          (weblogic.jms.backend.BEPushRequestSender@76512c) stuck.
          2. After that it closes the TCP connection to another node and
          3. Removes another node from its cluster view.(that is alive)
          4. After that the second node removes the first from its cluster
          view.
          5. Seconds later they find each other again and add each other to the
          cluster view.
          6. After that, the JMS distributed members are connected to each other,
          7. Something strange happens, because either the first node starts
          missing many messages in its distributed topic member or the second
          node doesn't propagate messages from distributed topic to the first
          node.
          Is it possible to set up weblogic cluster in a way, it won't remove
          other members from cluster view by peer gone exception, only by
          heartbeat timeout? Is heartbeat retry time parameter is configurable?
          Any help with this matter will be greatly appreciated.

You must run the update node list for each ORACLE_HOME on that machine. If this is RAC, the runInstaller will take care to update all nodes, so again, you run it once per ORACLE_HOME installed.
Shared Home is a single copy of the Oracle software, rather than each node holding their own copy of the software. There's a paper that talks about these two topics and gives some examples of full commands on OTN:

Regarding Pulling out network cable from cluster node

I have two cluster nodes installed with my application.
I have pulled out the Network cable from the primary where my application is running. So the primary is not reachle from remote box.(cannot ping primary)
I have found the following error messages
SUNW,hme0 : No response from Ethernet network : Link down -- cable problem?
I have found the device group and resource group online the primary and the sun cluster does not failover to secondary node. Does Sun cluster support this scenario ?
Or do i need to any additional configuration? Can i get clarification on this

Hi Sudheer,
if you have two interfaces in your ipmpgroup, I am missing the test address.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3000/emybr?l=en&q=ipmp&a=view
states a hostname.hme0 as:
192.168.85.19 netmask + broadcast + group testgroup1 up \
addif 192.168.85.21 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up
and for hotname.hme1
192.168.85.20 netmask + broadcast + group testgroup1 up \
addif 192.168.85.22 deprecated -failover netmask + broadcast + up
you can safely replace the addresses by names if they are in /etc/hosts
In this case the -failover flag for the physical of your example is wrong.
If you only have one adapter,
One line in /etc/hostname.hme0 like you stated in your example is correct.
this is from one of my clusters.
deulwork20 group sc_ipmp0 -failover
it is the ipmpgroup Sun Cluster creates for you if you do not specify anything else. so for one single adapter one line like "hadev1 group sc_ipmp0 -failover" is correct.
