Configure OD master/replica behind a NAT

I have 4 servers 2 of them in public IP (the master is one of them) and the other in the public IP sync ok, but the two others that are behind a NAT in a DMZ with a PUBLIC-IP to private-IP configured, when they are promoting to replicas, the process runs until the end but suddenly the replica refuses to become a replica and return to the previous state, looking into the master logs, it looks like the replica send their true IP (192.168.1.4) to the master and not the IP that it has so I believe that this is part of the problem, I have a well-know DNS working in the master, but not on the replicas, and they point to the master as their DNS.
Any ideas ?

Hi
Promote the Replica to OD Master. Demote the old Master to Standalone and then Promote to Replica. For OD Master & Replica relationships to be successful they must all be the same OS version:

"Current Time" problem behind a NAT Configured DSL Modem

I have a WRT54GS wireless router behind a NAT configured Alcatel Speedtouch Pro DSL modem. I have noticed that the "Current Time:" is perpetually "Not Available". I am speculating that it is because the NAT blocks the syncrhonization, but I'm not absolutely sure. Can anyone confirm that this indeed could be the problem?
If this is the case, is it possible to configure a NAT router to pass this signal?
I would like to have the benefits of NAT, but I would also like to utilize the WRT54GS's policy feature to limit my kid's internet activity after hours.
Thanks in advance!

Alcatel makes a lot of SpeedTouch modems. I cannot tell which one you have. I assume it must be a "modem-router" rather than a true modem.
What "Intenet connection type" are you using in the WRT54GS? I assume it is probably DHCP or static. Disconnect the WRT54GS and the Speedtough. Set the "Internet connection type" on the WRT54GS to "static", then set the (WAN) "Internet IP address" to an address that the SpeedTouch will see as a fixed LAN IP address, and set the "Default Gateway" to the LAN IP address of the SpeedTouch, and set the "Subnet Mask" to 255.255.255.0 , and set the "DNS server address" to your true Internet DNS server address (you should be able to find this info in the SpeedTouch).
Hope this helps.
Please let me know whether or not this worked.
If you need more help, please state the exact model number of your modem (not the WRT54GS?

Repairing OD Master/replica tress.

We had an issue with our OD Master and it's 11 replicas.
Apple Support said:
1. Export Users, User Groups, Computers and Computer Groups from the OD Master.
2. Downgrade the Replicas to stand-alone.
3. Downgrade the Master to stand-alone.
4. Promote the OD back to a OD Master.
5. Import the Users, User Groups, Computers and Computer Groups from the export files.
6. Promote the previous replicas from stand-alone to replicas again.
Did all of that, and the import went fine.
However: now all the Home Directory servers are not providing home directory information back to the OD Master.
The Home Directory servers are looking at the local replica for authentication.
The OD Master lists the replicas in it's logs.
And, of course, students/staff will be back Monday and will want to get to their home directories.

Recovering from a corrupted Open Directory Master/Replica system.
1. Export from ODM 'Users' (except your directory admin), 'Groups', 'Computers', 'Computer Groups'.
2. Degrade the OD Replicas, one at a time, to stand-alone.
3. Degrade the OD Master to stand-alone.
4. Restart the OD Master server.
5. Upgrade the OD Master from Stand-alone to OD Master.
6. Upgrade the OD Replicas, one at a time, from Stand-alone to OD Replica.
Rebind remote server to appropriate authentication server (OD Replica)
1. At the server, go to 'System Preferences' - 'Accounts' and unlock the panel with the local server admin login.
2. Click 'Login Options'.
3. Click the 'Edit' button next to 'Network Account Server'.
4. Click 'Open Directory Utility'.
5. Highlight 'LDAPv3' then click the pencil icon.
6. Highlight the configuration and click 'Delete', then click 'Okay' to unbind.
7. Enter the OD Directory Administrator name and password. (This will fail, but it is okay.)
8. Click 'Ok' to forcibly remove the configuration.
9. Click 'Ok'.
10. WHile LPADv3 is still highlighted, click the pencil icon again.
11. Click 'New'.
12. Enter the fully qualified name of the local OD Replica and click 'Continue'.
13. Enter the fully qualified name of the local server, the OD Directory Administrator Login and Password. Click 'Continue'.
14. Enter the local server administrator login and password.
15. Click 'Overwrite'.
16. Click 'Ok', then click 'Ok'. Quit Directory Utility. Close 'System Preferences'.
Reconnecting Home Directory Automounts.
1. At the local server, start 'Server Manager' and select 'File Sharing'.
2. Click 'Share Points' and select the Home Directory item.
3. Click the 'Share Point' option in the lower window.
4. Deslect 'Enable Automount'. Enter the OD Master Directory Administrator Login and Password and click 'Ok'.
5. Click 'Save'.
6. Select 'Enable Automount'. Ensure that the next window is pointing to the local OD Replica and click 'Ok'.
7. Click 'Save'. After clicking 'Save' you can edit the 'Protocol Options' to your preferences.
Restablish the users, groups, computers and computer groups.
1. Open 'Workgroup Manager' on the OD Master.
2. Import Users
3. Import User Groups
4. Import Computers. When importing Computers ensure that the 'ignore record' is selected.
5. Import Computer Groups.
After users have been imported, you can mass assigne them to their appropriate Home Directory location.

Run 3d games remotely (even behind a nat) with sound (Onlive DiY)

D you know Onlive? Here is a DIY howto, this is what i'm using to play games remotely on a poor netbook
Required packages:
Server: virtualgl,ffmpeg,socat,sshd
Client: virtualgl,mplayer,ssh,socat
Server: in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
"AcceptEnv ALSA_CARD"
The user who wants to play remotely has to execute the following script on (say) the poor netbook:
(configure $user,$server and $sshport first), and as soon as it gains access to the remote shell, it has to execute:
vglrun (parameters) /path/to/3dgame
Main Script
#!/bin/bash
user=remote_username
server=remote_server
sshport=22
ServerSetup="\
killall socat ffmpeg ; sleep 1 ; killall -9 socat ffmpeg; \
echo inserting loopback module, ask for sudo pass:; \
sudo modprobe snd-aloop; \
socat UDP4-LISTEN:6000,fork,reuseaddr TCP:127.0.0.1:5000 &>/dev/null & \
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:Loopback,1,0 -acodec libmp3lame -b 128k -f rtp rtp://127.0.0.1:6000 &>/dev/null\
echo "Executing ServerSetup on " $Server:$sshport ...
ssh -f $user@$server -oPort=$sshport "$(echo $ServerSetup)"
killall mplayer socat ; sleep 1 ; killall -9 mplayer socat
echo "o=- 0 0 IN IP4 127.0.0.1" >/tmp/stream.sdp
echo "c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1" >>/tmp/stream.sdp
echo "m=audio 6000 RTP/AVP 14" >>/tmp/stream.sdp
socat TCP4-LISTEN:5000,fork,reuseaddr UDP4:localhost:6000 &>/dev/null &
sh -c "sleep 20 ; mplayer /tmp/stream.sdp -really-quiet </dev/null" &
ALSA_CARD=Loopback vglconnect -s $user@$server -o SendEnv=ALSA_CARD -p $sshport -R localhost:5000:localhost:5000
Explaination
Graphic streaming is very easy and totally managed by virtualgl as video data is taken from the server by using a seamless VirtualGL window,
vglconnect (part of virtualgl package) is an ssh wrapper that set-up port forwarding to tunnel frames,
no problem here for nat environments.
When comes to audio, the 3d application on the server will output all audio data to a virtual loopback device,
this is done by modprobing snd-aloop and then set the environment variable ALSA_CARD to "Loopback"
Sound is then encoded by ffmpeg into an mp3 streamed via rtp udp transport for lower delay.
Finally, that audio will be played back on the netbook via a background mplayer.
It will take as argument a text file (compiled by a bunch of echo runtime) describing the stream.
(ffplay would do it as well, but how to disable the spectrum visualization?)
Making audio work for client behind a nat is somehow tricky, because ssh only forwards TCP connections and our stream works over UDP,
but with socat we will 'convert' UDP to TCP (ssh here!) to UDP again so that we can use ssh tunnelling facilities while in the TCP domain:
server: ffmpeg will stream to localhost, udp port 6000
server: socat will forward from localhost, udp port 6000 to localhost tcp port 5000
server: vglconnect (ssh wrapper) will forward all tcp traffic directed to localhost:5000(tcp) to the remote endpoint (client), port 5000(tcp)
client: socat will forward from localhost, tcp port 5000 to localhost udp port 6000
client: finally mplayer will play from localhost port 6000
Note that mplayer will run on the client, but the last step we'll do in the script is to open an ssh connection into the server,
and that connection is necessary for mplayer to work as we'll setup port redirection there.
So, to keep things easy from the user point of view, mplayer is started early in background with a delay (20secs)
(read: your audio will start after a while)
If you are not behind a nat or prefer to use a vpn, you can (but it is not necessary at all)
* comment all of the socat commands,
* point ffmpeg streaming to the client ip,
* change the line that contains "c=IN IP4 127.0.0.1" to the client ip too.
Drawbacks of the script:
.It will kill any socat,ffmpeg and mplayer instances at startup (any idea?)
.No process has to listen on port 5000 and 6000 (tcp,udp), change the script or use some vars if you need it.
.Some programs (eg: braid) don't like alsa loopback device and outputs some garbage sound
.ALSA_CARD trick isn't going to work if you forced a !default output device in your .asoundrc (server side)
What is missing:
.A way to terminate leftover processes when we're done with playing
Highly suggested:
.remove "&>/dev/null" occurrences from the script if you run into problems
.Setup ssh key authentication
.Avoid sound skip by running ffmpeg with realtime priority (schedtool -n -19 -F -p 10 -e ffmpeg...)
Side notes:
.This thing doesn't work very well with virtualized environments, virtualbox client on the same server machine performs poorly, think that a real n280 netbook over a real 10Mbps link is smoother.
.Audio latency is about 300ms (i know it is not THAT low, but acceptable)
example code for a 10Mbit network which take about 600KBps at 1024x600
vglrun -np 2 -c jpeg -q 40 -samp 1 -fps 20 ./aquaria
-np 2 = use 2 threads to encode frames
-q 40 = jpeg quality=40
-samp 1 = Chrominance subsampling factor
-fps 20 = limit the framerate to 20fps

Hi kokoko3k thanks for the script. I had some troubles to start with, but hacked around and got it going.
I am using AMD64 Ubuntu based distributions for both client and server.

NCP traffic to Master Replica server

I am doing packet traces during login and not finding a single NCP packet to my Master Replica server.
I see the NCP connection packets to my Replica server and any other servers I connect to through login or agents installed (ZCM, Contextless login, etc).
I think I am having redundancy issues and I am trying to resolve them.
This is a Windows 7 workstation with Client 2sp1 ir9. I do have SLP configured with the DA as my Master Replica server. I also have LDAP contextless login configured but those settings do not have the Replica server as the configured server.
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if a client is not suppose to send NCP traffic to the Master Replica server on to the Replica servers. Thanks!

You didn't post the Report Sync Status part ...
I made the change you asked for and the IP address has always been the same as the OES boxes. All of our Netware servers get their time from NDSMASTER and NDSMASTER gets it from 10.16.231.237 which is where the OES servers are pointing directly. Is that configuration OK?

Dynamic SQL Joining between tables and Primary keys being configured within master tables

Team , Thanks for your help in advance !
I'm looking out to code a dynamic SQL which should refer Master tables for table names and Primary keys and then Join for insertion into target tables .
EG:
INSERT INTO HUB.dbo.lp_order
SELECT *
FROM del.dbo.lp_order t1
where not exists ( select *
from hub.dbo.lp_order tw
where t1.order_id = t2.order_id )
SET @rows = @@ROWCOUNT
PRINT 'Table: lp_order; Inserted Records: '+ Cast(@rows AS VARCHAR)
-- Please note Databse names are going to remain the same but table names and join conditions on keys
-- should vary for each table(s) being configured in master tables
Sample of Master configuration tables with table info and PK Info :
Table Info
Table_info_ID   Table_Name
1       lp_order
7       lp__transition_record
Table_PK_Info
Table_PK_Info_ID   Table_info_ID   PK_Column_Name
2               1   order_id
8               7   transition_record_id
There can be more than one join condition for each table
Thanks you !
Rajkumar Yelugu

Hi Rajkumar,
It is glad to hear that you figured the question out by yourself.
There's a flaw with your while loop in your sample code, just in case you hadn't noticed that, please see below.
--In this case, it goes to infinite loop
DECLARE @T TABLE(ID INT)
INSERT INTO @T VALUES(1),(3),(2)
DECLARE @ID INT
SELECT @ID = MIN(ID) FROM @T
WHILE @ID IS NOT NULL
PRINT @ID
SELECT @ID =ID FROM @T WHERE ID > @ID
So a cursor would be the appropriate option in your case, please reference below.
DECLARE @Table_Info TABLE
Table_info_ID INT,
Table_Name VARCHAR(99)
INSERT INTO @Table_Info VALUES(1,'lp_order'),(7,'lp__transition_record');
DECLARE @Table_PK_Info TABLE
Table_PK_Info_ID INT,
Table_info_ID INT,
PK_Column_Name VARCHAR(99)
INSERT INTO @Table_PK_Info VALUES(2,1,'order_id'),(8,7,'transition_record_id'),(3,1,'order_id2')
DECLARE @SQL NVarchar(MAX),
@ID INT,
@Table_Name VARCHAR(20),
@whereCondition VARCHAR(99)
DECLARE cur_Tabel_Info CURSOR
FOR SELECT Table_info_ID,Table_Name FROM @Table_Info
OPEN cur_Tabel_Info
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_Tabel_Info
INTO @ID, @Table_Name
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
SELECT @whereCondition =ISNULL(@whereCondition+' AND ','') +'t1.'+PK_Column_Name+'='+'t2.'+PK_Column_Name FROM @Table_PK_Info WHERE Table_info_ID=@ID
SET @SQL = 'INSERT INTO hub.dbo.'+@Table_Name+'
SELECT * FROM del.dbo.'+@Table_Name+' AS T1
WHERE NOT EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM hub.dbo.'+@Table_Name+' AS T2
WHERE '+@whereCondition+')'
SELECT @SQL
--EXEC(@SQL)
SET @whereCondition = NULL
FETCH NEXT FROM cur_Tabel_Info
INTO @ID, @Table_Name
END
Supposing you had noticed and fixed the flaw, your answer sharing is always welcome.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

How to create Variant Configuration Material Master in SAP PP

Dear Friend's,
Pl 's guide me for How to Create Variant Configuration Material Master.
Give me step by step procedure for Creation of Variant Configuration.If some of you having screen shots for the same with one Example, that will be a very helpful to me for creating VC.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep N.Theurkar

Hi,
Eg: Ford car.If a sale order is raised for fiesta lxi model the system should choose red colour & for vxi blue colour respectively.
ie you need to define the characteristic and assign the values .
This characteristic need to assigned to class.
class need to be assigned to material master
1. T.code : CT04(characteristic) FORD_MODEL, Choose single value & entry required tab & give the input as 01 - fiesta_lxi & 02 - fiesta_vxi.( characteristic values)
2.Tcode: CT04, FORD_BODY( another characteristic)
Choose single value , don't click entry required.
01 - Red( characteristic values)
02- Blue
3. Create class T.code : CL02
fiesta_class
type : 300
4. OBJECT DEPENDENCY:
T.CODE : CT04
FORD_MODEL
CLICK VALUES TAB,
IN FIESTA_LXI CLICK THE 'O' meant for Obj dependency, action & extra.
Edit the dependecy,
010 $Self.ford_body = '01'. & save
Repeat the same for FIEST_VXI & instead of '01' give '02' for blue colour.
, then create a ROH as ford_body. & a KMAT material for the car. .
Then create a Super BOM with usage 3 & give component as ford_body
Then use T.code cu41 (Create config profile)
enter a profile name & class 300 & choose class assignment, choose fiest_class ,
Use T.code cu50 to check the values.
Then create a sale order.
Pl. reward if helpful.

Reliability: OD Master & Replica, or IP-based failover?

I have an Xserve that serves approx. 60 users and around 200GB of shared files. The primary Xserve is the OD master for my workgroup, and the backup Xserve is an OD replica.
I'm new to OS X Server (but not client), so I don't know what happens in the event of, say, the OD master dying. Do client login/access requests automatically get answered by the OD replica? The reason I'm asking this is I'm trying to decide between using two separate servers with an OD master & replica relationship, or using IP-based failover where the backup server would effectively "pretend" to be the primary server in case of a problem.
But with IP-based failover, I don't know if the backup server will automatically know to become an OD master or not. Or, perhaps, the OD integration is completely separate; and I can choose to use IP-based failover and do OD replication whichever way I want to. Does anyone have concrete info?

If your OD Master fails the OD Replica will automatically start handling authentication requests so for the most part you're covered (at least users can still log in).
As noted in that .pdf, though, the replica doesn't allow changes to the directory other than password changes for users with Open Directory passwords.
The main issue is how long your master is going to be down, and the relative pain of promoting the replica to be a master.
For various reasons there is no automatic promote-to-master function because most failures of the master are temporary (e.g. a simple reboot after a software update).
For the failover question I would use IP failover for any services that don't have their own failover mechanism. In all cases you need to write failover scripts to startup whatever processes you need your standby machine to take over. In the case of OD there is a built-in, automatic failover process so I would use that. The only exception to that would be if you wanted the replica to become a master server should the master fail, but I can't think of any circumstance where that would be the case.

Configuration is not replicated from CRM to ECC for configurable product

Hi,
We have some materials in the system for which the configuration is not replicated from CRM to ECC.
We create a quotation in CRM and configure it. In CRM, the configuration is complete and components are properly exploded but when we check the same quotation in ECC, configuration is incomplete with respect to some characteristics and product references.
Please find below finding
1. If the same material is created in another plant/company code, the configuration is replicated properly.
2. We have also checked that the BOM is completely maintained for plants for which configuration is replicated. But we dont think so it could be an issue since if we create the quotation in ECC instead of creating in CRM, for the plant (for which the configuration is not replicated from CRM to ECC), it is properly exploded and complete.
3. variant prices are replicated properly even though components are not replicated.
We need to know if we can explode the BOM in the configuration even though complete BOM for the particular plant is not maintained. If its not possible to explode, why it is possible for us to explode the BOM in the configuration in quotation.
Please advise.
Thx.

the configuration (variant configuration and not customization) that is done in CRM contract is not copied to ECC contract. Is it because that item category in CRM is activated for doing the BOM configuration and the same in ECC is not activated for doing the BOM configuration?
My question is that if item category in ECC is not activated for BOM configuration then is it like that the BOM configuration in CRM will not be copied to ECC?

RV180 - DDNS behind 2nd NAT router

Hello community,
is it possible to use the DDNS feature (dyndns.com) behind a 2nd NAT router?
Network is as follows:
INTERNET - NAT-Router (unknown device) - Cisco RV-180 (NAT) - Clients
Kind Regard,
Michael

If you put your dyndns client in front of the rv180 or one the nat router's dmz, you should get the correct IP address. I usually use the DMZ port on a nat router when putting a vpn router behind a nat one--this solves a lot of the IP address issues for the vpn router.

Multi-master replicated environment

hi,
what does it mean multi-master replicated environment? How could i benefit from it?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
This is the environment in which inserts, updates and deletes on objects
in any nodes, included in the environment will be replicated to remaining
nodes which are defined to be part of the replicated environment.
Sinces changes to any node are replicated to all other nodes, they all work
as Master, which gives it the name, Master-2-Master and also advanced replication.

DirectAccess 2012 behind two NATs

Hi Guys
I am trying to setup a DirectAccess 2012 server with single NIC on a VM as below
basically if I get a public IP NAT'd with port 443 via main firewall to a private IP (10.20.1.1 /16) and then if I get this private IP again NAT'd via another firewall with port 443 to the DirectAccess server IP (192.168.2.2/18), will this setup work as
I will have to do this due to the current network topology at our business ?
thank you in advance.

Hi,
It is supported. In Windows Server 2012, direct access server can be deployed behind a NAT device with support for only one single network interface and removes the public IPv4 address prerequisite.
For detailed information, please refer to the link below,

Diffrence btw configurable and master data?

can anyone pls tell me the difference between configurable data and master data?
thanks
Edited by: tracey_hrecc6.0 on Sep 30, 2010 5:20 PM

Configuration Data is what is created by the people who work on the software (an example would be the data created in various tables while creating Periodic Work Schedule Rules and the DWS & PWS behind them)
while the Master Data is what is created by the users of the software (an example would be the data created when a user saves the IT0007 that identifies what Periodic Work Schedule Rule an employee is assigned to).
