Configuring two 11g OID servers in High Availability mode.

I have OID1 server where I have installed OID11g and WLS using SSL Port 3131 and Non SSL Port 3060. The ldap set up is working as the sqlnet connections are using ldap adapter to resolve the request.
I have OID2 server where I have installed OID11g using the same port.
Now, I want to setup a cluster for these two so that the the load balancer will automatically route the requests to either of the two servers so that if one is unavailable, the other will fill the request. I am following "Configuring High Availability for Identity Management Components" document, but it is not very what steps needs to be followed.
Any suggestion will be appreciated;
I am also having problem using ldapbind or any of the oid commands as it gives "unable to locate message file: ldap<language>.msb" despite the fact that I am seting all the env vars such as ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_INTANCE, ORA_NLS33 and so on.

You don't need to setup a cluster for Load balancer. The Load balancer configuration can point to both the server and depending on the configuration in LBR act in failover and load balanced mode. All you need to take care of is that the two OID servers are using the same schema.
When installing first OID server it gives a option to install in cluster mode and when installing the second server you can use the option to expand the cluster created in first installation. But that should not stop you from configuring OID in highly available mode using Load balancer as explained above.
"unable to locate message file: ldap<language>.msb" occurs if you have not set the ORACLE_HOME variable. See that it is set to <MiddlewareHome>/Oracle_IDM1 if you have used the defaults.
Hope this helps,
Sagar

This document completely configuring the High Avaialability case when we have Oracle Data Base in RAC mode. Please correct me if i am wrong.
But I just wanted to know how can we configure the high availability mode without Oracle DataBase in RAC mode.
Do we need to configure the DataBase in high Availability Mode also?
Thanks in Advance.

2xC350 in High Availability Mode (Cluster Mode)

Hello all,
first of all, i`m a newbie in ironport. So Sorry for my basic questions, but i can`t find anything in the manuals.
I want to configure the two boxes in High Availability Mode (Cluster Mode) but i don`t understand the ironport cluster architecture.
1) in machine mode i can configure IP-Adresses -> OK
2) in Clustermode i can configure listeners and bind them to a IP-Address -> OK
But how works the HA?
A) Should i configure on both boxes the same IP to use one MX Record? And if one box is down the other takes over?
B) Or should i configure different IPs and configure two MX Records?
And if one box is down the second MX will be used.
Thanks in advance
Michael

The ironport clustering is for policy distribution only - not for smtp load mgmt.
A) Should i configure on both boxes the same IP to use one MX Record? And if one box is down the other takes over?
Could do - using NAT'ing on the f/w but few large business take this approach today.
Many/most large businesses use a HW loadbalancer like an F5, Foundry ServerIron, etc. The appliances themselves would be set up on seperate IP addresses. Depending on the implementation requirements, the internal IP address could be a public IP or a private IP.
B) Or should i configure different IPs and configure two MX Records?
And if one box is down the second MX will be used.
If you set up two boxes, even with a different MX preference, mail will be delivered to both MX records. There are broken SMTP implementations that get the priority backwards, and many spammers will intentionally attempt to exploit less-restrictive accept rules on secondary MX recievers and will send to them first.

Cisco ISE in High Availability mode

Hello
Need some help, I have hardware cisco ISE 3315, want to go for high availability now, my question is that;
1. Is Cisco ISE available on Hyper V ?
2. Is it possible to configure 1 hardware , and other virtual (VMware / HyperV {If available}) in high availability mode ?
Thank you very much.

While ISE may run in Hyper-V, it will definitely not be supported so I recommend staying away from doing that. The only supported virtual environment is VMware. If you only have Hyper-V then you will have to get another appliance. Do keep in mind that the 3315s are EOL/EOS. The replacement models for those are the 3415.
As it was already stated above Charles and Karsten, you can mix virtual and physical appliances. So if you do en up going with a supported virtual solution make sure that the resources for the ISE nodes are dedicated/reserved and that thin provisioning is also NOT supported.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for rating helpful posts!

How to configure cisco 3650-24ts-s switch in high availability mode

Hi, I bought 2 nos 3650-24ts-s switch with accessories. i have created 10 vlans & given internal access in one switch. Now I need to configure another switch as standby or HA mode so if any thing goes wrong in first switch, second one will take automatic. Pl help to provide me step by step guide for doing the same.thnaks

Depending on license you could have access to setup HSRP between them. Since they aren't stacked switches I would also do a port channel.

Best practice for highly available management / publishing servers

I am testing a highly available appv 5.0 environment, which will deploy appv packages to a Xenapp farm. I have two SQL 2012 servers configured as an availability group for the backend, and two publishing / management servers for the front end.
What is the best practice to configure the publishing / management servers for high availability? Should I configure them as an NLB cluster, which I have tested and does seem to work, or should I just use the GPO to configure the clients to use both
publishing servers, which I have also tested and appears to work?
Thanks,
Patrick Sullivan

In App-V 5.0 the Management and Publishing Servers are hosted in IIS, so use the same approach for HA as you would any web application.
If NLB is all that's available to you, then use that; otherwise I would recommend a proper load balancing solution such as Citrix NetScaler or KEMP LoadManager.

High Availability with two 5508 WLAN controllers?

Dear all,
we are considerung to implement a new wireless solution based on Cisco WLC 5508 and 1262N Access Points. We are planning to purchase about 30 access points and have two options: Either purchase one WLC 5508-50 or, for redundacy, two 5508-25 controllers.
Is it possible to configure two WLC 5508 as a high availability solution so all Access Pointes are distributed over both WLCs and in the case one WLC breaks the other one manages all APs?
If we have 30 access points and one of two WLC 5508-25 breaks of course not all 30 but only 25 access points can be managed by the remaining one. Is there some sort of control to choose which access points shall be managed and which not?
How does such a configuration look like in general, is the implementation of a two controller setup rather complex or straight forward?
Thanks!
Michael

Dear Nicloas,
thanks for your reply. We have an offer where two 5508-25 are only a little more expensive than one 5508-50. So I think it's better so spend a little more money and have a backup WLC. Otherwise, if the one and only WLC breaks, all APs are unusable which would not be acceptable for us.
Regarding roaming - not all access points will distribute the same WLAN. Actually we will have one wireless network with 18 access points for our warehouse and 12 access points for the internal and guests network.Therefore no roaming will happen between those APs. In this case I could use one WLC for the 18 warehouse access points and 12 for the internal network. In the case one controller breaks, I could use the remaining one for the important warehouse systems (i.e. by using the priority system).
Regarding the configuration: If I understand correctly I configure both controllers exactly the same (except for the name and IP address of course) and put both controllers in the same mobility group - and that's really it? Sounds great!
I have one general question regarding the new WLC controllers: Is it true that communication between the WLC and the APs is now done on Layer 3 only so all APs need an IP address? I'm asking because currently we are still using an Cisco 4112 WLC which operates in Layer 2 mode. So I guess with the new WLC, I have to configure DHCP option 43 with the management IP address of the WLC, right? I also guess I can manually move APs from one to another WLC once they have joined a controller for the first time?
I'm ordering the book "Deploying and Troubleshooting Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers" now and guess this will answer most of my upcoming questions. Can I come back to you here in case I run into trouble with the configuration?
Thanks a lot for your help

NAC High Availability: Users getting disconnected during failover

Hi,
We have a pair of CAS in in-band virtual-gateway mode in high availability mode.
We are still running some tests but we have noticed that the clients are losing connectivity during the failover.
* The service ip is always active (never stops responding pings).
* The stand-by CAS becomes active immediatly after we shut down the primary, we see it on the CAM.
* The client however looses connectivity with the internal network for almost two minutes.
I'm guessing this isn't normal, but would like to know what is the expected behaviour on this.
Thanks and regards,

We configured another pair today and we are noticing the same behaviour, however it seems random... sometimes the user barely looses connection, other times it will take from 2-5 minutes for it to come back.
We are only using eth2 for the failover link since we only have one serial port.
When we test we make sure both servers are up and then we reboot the primary. The secondary becomes active immediately. When both are up again we repeat the process.
any other ideas? something we should check?
Thanks!

WAE Inline Adapter and High Availability

What is the recommendation to achieve high availability (and load sharing?) using two WAE's in a DC with inline adapters being used for interception rather than WCCPv2? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Ken,
Generally I would recommend interception with either WCCP or a L4-7 load balancer like ACE/ACE Appliance/CSM. Both of these are considered best practice for DC deployments as they both can handle high amounts of traffic, can handle WAEs going offline and can load balance many WAEs in a cluster. WCCP might be slightly more flexible where and how you can deploy it.
Both of the following interception techniques are not recommended for data centers, but I list just as FYI:
- Inline cards in appliances can be configured in serial to give you high availability, but you don't get load balancing. The second appliance only starts optimizing traffic once the first WAE starts passing traffic through on overload. Inline interception is usually used for remote offices, however it has been deployed in DCs.
- PBR can be configured for high availability with next-hop features, however there is no available load balancing. The first WAE has to fail completely and then a second WAE can come into play. Overloaded traffic is not optimized at all.
Hope that helps,
Dan

Oracle reports 10g High Availability

Clustering is deprecated with 10g application servers and High availability is recommended by Oracle for fail over of Report services (standalone).
I would like to get any incite , oracle references as to how the recommended solution could be implemented both for cold and hot fail over of report services within the same subnet.
the architecture of our environment is that two hosts (one of them being standby) run report services using namingservice discovery mechanism and requests are manually redirected to the standby service in case one of them fails.
how could this be transformed into hot fail over ?
Regards

Read the section on High Availabilty in the Publishing Reports to the Web manual, and the section on Reports in the High Availability Guide.

Running SAP XI in High Availability

Bonjour a vous tous !
I am looking for best practices when running SAP Exchange Infrastructure (3.0, well it is now XI 7.0 with the new NW2004s SP9) in High Availability mode.
The customer that I work with does not know yet on which platform its production environment will be (Unix/Oracle vs Microsoft/SqlServer 20005). I know that some hardware vendor has built-in HA capabilities, either Software/Hardware based (MSFT MCS, IBM HACMP, etc).
Should we go for an "SAP XI all-In One" installation or distributed one ? Should we get one central SLD or one per environment? What is the role of the SLD and Solution Manager? Do they need to be interconnected?
I have worked with other EAI middlewares (Biztralk Server and webMethods) and normally the Integration Engine sit on it's own server and the various adapters are on their respective servers (i.e.: one server for HTTP, one server for FTP, one server for EJB, etc), since the sizing (RAM. Java heap memory, etc) for all theses adapters are different (FTP a lot of small file, EJB not so many request, but they could eat-up a lot of CPU, etc). Is this a best practice that I can apply also with SAP XI ?
Thank in advance for you help !
A+

Hi Michel,
Well we seem to work along the same track...
I am working on 2 customers concurrently - the one using like you using PI 7.0. In their case we implemented a Windows solution using W2K3 Enterprise Edition 64-bit. Avoid 32-bit as it will no longer be supported by SAP next year. We are using MSCS (which is part of the Enterprise Edition by default).
The 2nd is a solaris customer (very large) for which we are using a cross-data center solution handled by Veritas Cluster Manager with automatic failover between systems and data centers if required.
Some answers to your questions:
1. All-in-one - yes
2. SLD - one for DEV/QA, and separate for Prod - this is recomended by SAP too - I can mail you a guide if needed
3. With Solution Manager 4.0, it now supports the J2EE side and hence can understand SLDs. The concept is to setup an HA Solution Manager and deploy the SLD for Prod on the same piece of kit.
4. SAP do not recomend splitting off the Adapter Engine except for specific cases, the main reason being if you have specific systems behind firewalls that you need to communicate with.
Under no circumstances should you have separate AE's per adapter - this would be an extermely expensive solution hardware and support-wise.

Brian
