Cluster node using a windows PC?

Hi,
Is it possible?
A long shot I know, but I only have 1 mac and rendering takes forever
2 options I'd love to see become available (if not already) are to use a PC or a PS3 as a cluster node.

> The PC is connected to the Internet and I'm using a wireless router to split the connection.
So the PC is connected to the router via Ethernet and the MBP wirelessly - where does the MBP get it's IP number from ?
In System Preferences/Network/Airport/TCP/IP - what # does it show for the Router?
I'm thinking your wireless router should just be set as a bridge or wireless access point only (not a 2nd router doing DHCP in the mix)
> I can't share files
On the MBP, have you enabled Windows Sharing ?

Hi,
In some case if you disabled the connection in Windows firewall inbound of
"Cluster aware updating" service it will can’t use the CAU.

How to use SVM metadevices with cluster - sync metadb between cluster nodes

Hi guys,
I feel like I've searched the whole internet regarding that matter but found nothing - so hopefully someone here can help me?!?!?
<b>Situation:</b>
I have a running server with Sol10 U2. SAN storage is attached to the server but without any virtualization in the SAN network.
The virtualization is done by Solaris Volume Manager.
The customer has decided to extend the environment with a second server to build up a cluster. According our standards we
have to use Symantec Veritas Cluster, but I think regarding my question it doesn't matter which cluster software is used.
The SVM configuration is nothing special. The internal disks are configured with mirroring, the SAN LUNs are partitioned via format
and each slice is a meta device.

<b>The problem is the following:</b>
The SVM configuration on the second server (cluster node 2) must be the same for the devices d1000-d1034.
Generally spoken the metadb needs to be in sync.
- How can I manage this?
- Do I have to use disk sets?
- Will a copy of the md.cf/md.tab and an initialization with metainit do it?
I would be great to have several options how one can manage this.
Thanks and regards,
Markus

Dear Tim,
Thank you for your answer.
I can confirm that Veritas Cluster doesn't support SVM by default. Of course they want to sell their own volume manager ;o).
But that wouldn't be the big problem. With SVM I expect the same behaviour as with VxVM, If I do or have to use disk sets,
and for that I can write a custom agent.
My problem is not the cluster implementation. It's more likely a fundamental problem with syncing the SVM config for a set
of meta devices between two hosts. I'm far from implementing the devices into the cluster config as long as I don't know how
how to let both nodes know about both devices.
Currently only the hosts that initialized the volumes knows about them. The second node doesn't know anything about the
devices d1000-d1034.
What I need to know in this state is:
- How can I "register" the alrady initialized meta devices d1000-d1034 on the second cluster node?
- Do I have to use disk sets?
- Can I only copy and paste the appropriate lines of the md.cf/md.tab
- Generaly speaking: How can one configure SVM that different hosts see the same meta devices?
Hope that someone can help me!
Thanks,
Markus

Do I use same oracle account on 2 cluster nodes cause problem?

Do I use same oracle account on 2 cluster nodes cause problem?
If I use same oracle account on 2 cluster nodes running 2 database, when failover happens, 2 database will be running on one node, does 2 oracle account make SHM ... memory conflict?
or do I have to use oracle01 account on node1, oracle02 account on node2? Can not use same name account?
Thanks.

I'm not 100% certain I understood the question, so I'll rephrase them and answer them.
Q. If I have the same Oracle account on each cluster node, e.g. uid=100 (oracle) gid=100 (oinstall), groups dba=200, can I run two databases, one on each cluster node without problems?
A. Yes. Having multiple DBs on one node is not a problem and doesn't cause shared memory problems. Obviously each database needs a different database name and thus different SID.
Q. Can I have two different Oracle accounts on each cluster node e.g. uid=100 (oraclea) gid=100 (oinstall), groups dba=200 and e.g. uid=300 (oracleb) gid=100 (oinstall), groups dba=200, and run two databases, one for each Oracle user?
A. Yes. The different Oracle user names would need to be associated with different Oracle installations, i.e. Oracle HOMEs. So you might have /oracle/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1 (oraclea) and /oracle/oracle/product/11.0.1.0/db_1 (oracleb). The ORACLE_HOME is then used to determine the Oracle user name by checking the user of the Oracle binary in the ${ORACLE_HOME}/bin directory.

Use of window's context node in sap crm

Hi friends.,
Could anybody explain what is the use of window's context node and overview page's context node?Because i use up to context nodes of views,component controller and custom controller.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
It is used to perform save/check at the page level. Usually the root object context nodes will be created in the
overview page or window. This can be used to access context node entities such as for the purpose of save, copy,
checks/validations.

Can I use cluster node for metadata controller?

Just as the subject says - can I use a cluster node as a secondary metedata controller, or do I need to use an Xserve? We already have an Xserve we would use as the primary controller

I have done this and attached the node to my iBook by firewire and booted the node in target mode and set the ServerHD as the startup for my iBook. Upon restart my iBook was an OSX server

Unable to failover the services in active-active cluster node

Hi,
i am applying the sp2 patch for sql server 2008 r2 in active-active cluster, we have 3 services in the cluster , node 1 as 2 prefered owner and node 2 as 1 prefered owner, when i try to move the service from node 2 to node1 , i am getting the below errors
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer XXXXXXXXX using any of the configured protocols.
The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server XXXXXXXXX. The target name used was RPCSS/XXXXXX. 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. Please ensure that the target SPN is registered on, and only registered on, the account used by the server. This error can also happen when the target service is using
a different password for the target service account than what the Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) has for the target service account. Please ensure that the service on the server and the KDC are both updated to use the current password. If the server
name is not fully qualified, and the target domain (XXXXXX) is different from the client domain (XXXXXXX), check if there are identically named server accounts in these two domains, or use the fully-qualified name to identify the server.

Can we install a new mssql cluster on the same windows cluster which already containes a mssql cluster with named instance

We have a MSSQL 2008R2 Enterprise edition with a two node active passive fail-over cluster running on 2008R2 windows cluster with out any issues,
Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup

hi,
>>Now my question is can we add one more MSSSQL cluster instance for the same setup with out disturbing the existing one ?
Yes it is possible .You need to add new drives as cluster aware and install SQL server and put data and log files on thse drives.YOu would need to create named instance of SQL server and need to create different resource group.Both old installation and new
onw would work separately.
>>Also give thoughts on load sharing as the second node is mostly ideal now except fail-over scenarios,
Good point indeed.You are about to create Multi instance cluster and should plan for scenario where one node is down and other node is handling load for both instances.Memory and CPU should be enough to handle the load.
>>Why we go for this situation is because of the collation setting which can be set only one per instance(Database collation setting change not working), we need a different default collation for the new setup .
Just for collation if you are installing new instance seems little wierd to me.You can manage collation at column ,database and at server level.

Error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication" on SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition 64-bit SP2 clustered instance

Hi there,
I have a Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 cluster which has 2 SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise Edition x64 SP2
instances.
A domain account "Domain\Login" is administrator on both physcial nodes and "sysadmin" on both SQL Server instances.
Currently both instances are running on same node.
While logging on to SQL Server instance 2 thru "Domain\Login" using "IP2,port2", I get error 18452 "Login failed. The login is from an untrusted domain and cannot be used with Windows authentication". This happened in the past
as well but issue resolved post insatllation of SQL Server 2008R2 SP2. This has re-occurred now. But it connects using 'SQLVirtual2\Instance2' without issue.
Same login with same rights is able to access Instance 1 on both 'SQLVirtual1\Instance1' and "IP1,port1" without any issue.
Please help resolve the issue.
Thanks,
AY

Hello,
I Confirm that I encountred the same problem when the first domain controller was dow !!
During a restarting of the first domain controller, i tried to failover my SQL Server instance to a second node, after that I will be able to authenticate SQL Server Login but Windows Login returns Error 18452 !
When the firts DC restart finishied restarting every thing was Ok !
The Question here : Why the cluster instance does'nt used the second DC ???

Why the non-cluster SQL Server appeared in the cluster nodes list

1, I install the node rs6 standalone, Why it appeared in the cluster node list by inquiry the dmv?
2, how to removed the rs6 from the cluster node list ?
by "set -clusterownernode -resource "XXXASQL" -owners NODE1,NODE2"?
But how to find the resource name? I tried to use window cluster name, SQL cluster name, and SQL role name , All of them say failed to get the cluster object.
3,how to set the owers to {}, I try below, but failed.

IMHO, sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes DMV is associated with the SQL Server
Operating System (SQLOS), sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes returns one row for each node in the failover cluster configuration.
As you are running standalone instance on cluster I am assuming this information is being picked from
OS and not from RS6 SQL instance.
As you have confirmed Is_cluster is false and if you don’t see RS6 instance in failover cluster manager I don’t think anything damaged here. Everything looking as expected, dont change owner node as its standalone instance.

Question about cluster node NodeWeight property

Hi,
I have a three nodes (A/B/C) windows 2008 r2 sp1 cluster testCluster, and installed KB2494036 for three nodes,suppose Node A is a active node.
I configured node C's NodeWeight property to 0, and node A and node B keep default (NodeWeight=1). I also added a shared disk Q for cluster quorum.
So i want to know if node C and Node B are down , is the windows cluster testCluster down as lost of quorum or keep up?
At the first i thought testCluster should keep up , because the cluster has 2 votes (node A and quorum), node B is down, node C doesn't join voting. But after testing, testCluster was down as lost of quorum.
So anybody konw the reason,thanks.

Hello mark.gao,
Let me see if I understand correctly your steps, so I can think that if you create your cluster with three nodes at the beginning your quorum model should be "Node Majority", then you have three votes one per each node.
Then was removed the vote for Node "C" and added a disk to be witness for cluster quorum, at this point we have two out of three votes from the original configuration on "Node Majority"
Question:
At some point you changed the quorum model to be "Node and Disk Majority"???
Maybe this is the issue, you are stuck on "Node Majority" and when "B" and "C" nodes are down we have only one vote from node "A" therefore there is no quorum to keep the service online.
On 2012 we have the awesome option to configure a Dynamic Quorum:
Dynamic quorum management
In Windows Server 2012, as an advanced quorum configuration option, you can choose to enable dynamic quorum management by cluster. When this option is enabled, the cluster dynamically manages
the vote assignment to nodes, based on the state of each node. Votes are automatically removed from nodes that leave active cluster membership, and a vote is automatically assigned when a node rejoins the cluster. By default, dynamic quorum management is enabled.
Note
With dynamic quorum management, the cluster quorum majority is determined by the set of nodes that are active members of the cluster at any time. This is an important distinction from the cluster quorum in Windows Server 2008 R2, where the quorum
majority is fixed, based on the initial cluster configuration.
With dynamic quorum management, it is also possible for a cluster to run on the last surviving cluster node. By dynamically adjusting the quorum majority requirement, the cluster can sustain
sequential node shutdowns to a single node.
The cluster-assigned dynamic vote of a node can be verified with the DynamicWeight common property of the cluster node by using the Get-ClusterNodeWindows
PowerShell cmdlet. A value of 0 indicates that the node does not have a quorum vote. A value of 1 indicates that the node has a quorum vote.
The vote assignment for all cluster nodes can be verified by using the Validate Cluster Quorum validation test.
Additional considerations
Dynamic quorum management does not allow the cluster to sustain a simultaneous failure of a majority of voting members. To continue running, the cluster must always have a quorum majority at the time of a node shutdown or failure.
If you have explicitly removed the vote of a node, the cluster cannot dynamically add or remove that vote.

Change of domain for the cluster nodes

Hi,
We need to change our existing domain i.e. NT domain to windows 2003 domain for the SAP production server cluster nodes.
There are 2 nodes. They are in active active mode.
Windows 2000 advanced server is installed in the nodes.
Can anybody tell us that during the change of the domain what else we need to take care or what should be correct procedure for this so that database & application does not have any impact
Eagerly waiting for the reply
With best regards
Joydeep

I would NOT do that.
What immediately comes to my mind is:
- users need to be recreated in the new domain
- filesystem owners and permissions of all SAP and database directories must be changed
- permissions on registry keys must be changed
- owner/permissions of the files in the cluster filesystem must be changed
There is no easy way of doing this. Depending on the database that is used more things are necessary. If you don't exactly know, where which application has files, it will certainly be troublesome.
The safest way would be to use a different hardware and do a homogeneous system copy by reinstalling the cluster in the new domain.

Need to install AD FS servers farm on SQL cluster Nodes.

Hi ,
I am installing new server ADFS 2.0 farm. ( vmware vms)
I will be installing 2 ADFS server in farm with SQL 2008 r2 As a Database.(vmware vms)
for SQL database we wanted to use 2 node windows 2008 r2 cluster for HA.
I wanted to know is it possible to install ADFS server on same server , which i am using for sql server cluster nodes , so that we can have 2 vms only insted of 4 vms
Exchange Admin

Thanks for your reply but ad per the best practics from microsoft :
A federation server farm consists of two or more federation servers that share the same AD FS configuration database and token-signing certificates. The configuration
database can be stored in either Windows Internal Database or in a SQL Server database. If you plan to store the configuration database in a SQL database, make sure that the configuration database is accessible so that it can be accessed by all new federation
servers that participate in the farm.
For farm scenarios, it is important that the configuration database be located on a computer that does not also participate as a federation server in that farm. Microsoft NLB does not allow any of the computers that participate
in a farm to communicate with one another
