Database bau host in HA cluster setups

In cluster setups for MSSQL, is there a technical term to describe the host that will run specific SQL instances/databases under normal circumstances (i.e. while it is up and doesnt need to be run by another server in the cluster)?

This is the "Primary Node" for the instance.  That's not a term that has any technical meaning in a Windows Cluster.  You may use cluster failover policies for the instance to help ensure that the instance is normally running on its Primary Node.
You can set the Primary Node for the instance as the "Preferred Owner" in the cluster configuration.  This will cause that node to be preferred over other nodes for failover
and failback.

  • Verify HA Cluster setup in Oracle Virtual machine thru GUI

    Hi All,
    I have setup 3 node cluster with HA[Oracle VM] enabled.When i checked in the GUI it
    shows "High availability Infrastructure works well" like that.
    For testing HA, I poweroff one of the Oracle Virtual server node from the Oracle Virtual manager browser.
    Then if i checked the "Server Pools > Edit Server Pool ".check for "High Availability Infrastructure" browser keep going.
    Also one more thing is the Powered off machine automatically after some time it is coming up.Is
    it right ?
    After powered off if i run the below command in ovmmgr it shows 2 nodes are up.Same o/p
    how can i get in GUI when i clicked High Availability Infrastructure in "Server Pools > Edit Server Pool "
    [root@xxxovmsr1 ~]# /usr/lib/ovs/ovs-cluster-check master alter-fstab
    O2CB cluster ocfs2 already online
    2
    Cluster setup complete.
    Link hangs quit sometime.Not allowing new connections also ..What to do ?
    Basic question
    How to verify the cluster setup from the GUI when i click "High Availability Infrastructure" check button?
    Some one can help me in this please ?

    Hey,
    After powered off one of VM server if i run the below command in ovmmgr it shows 2 nodes are up.
    Why are you going ovmmgr ?
    Are your checking it only thru gui part of the manager or also thru thr command line.
    Oracle vm server - are hosts for your virtual systems your create on them.
    If you power off the server - from GUI part you can see - it as switched off or unreachable
    If your HA feature is enabled for that pool having more than 1 server sharing the /OVS filesystem - then he virtual system which is runnign on 1 of the Oracle VM server - will not die
    It will migrate to other available server in the pool - which is whole idea and purpose of HA
    I don't understand what exactly you are trying to crosscheck or verify here with these commands
    High Availability Infrastructure in "Server Pools > Edit Server Pool "
    root@xxxoxxxr1 ~# /usr/lib/ovs/ovs-cluster-check master alter-fstab
    O2CB cluster ocfs2 already online
    2
    Cluster setup complete.
    If you have to check whether your HA feature is working - form GUI you can got o server pool - tab -
    edit it
    and chk the HA - tab
    and verify-
    it HA feature is working properly - it will give you message accordingly.

  • BAM Cluster setup - issue with whole server migration configuration

    HI,
    We are working on a SOA , BAM , BPM Cluster setup on OEL VMs
    With Admin server running on Host1 and Soa_server1, BAM_server1 , Host2 - Soa_server2 , Bam_server2.
    We were successfully able to setup clustering for Soa without using the webTier utilities in our environment, Just by adding entries in the /etc/hosts file.
    Followed the document - except for web tier setup
    http://www.namredlek.nl/orasoa/InstallSOASuite11gOnCluster_v1.pdf
    1)     Installed Weblogic 11g.
    2)     Soa 11g.
    3)     Domain creation
    4) Configured Node manager
    5) Soa Clustering completed successfully.
    6) Domain up and running with SOA_Cluster up and running.
    7)     Extended the domain with BAM
    The issue revolves when we are doing teh Migration configurations from the console for BAM and we restart BAM server we get an error -
    Apr 14, 2011 2:30:35 AM weblogic.nodemanager.server.Handler handleStart
    WARNING: Exception while starting server 'bam_server1'
    java.io.IOException: Command '/oracle/Shared_MWHome/user_projects/domains/SOA_Domain/bin/server_migration/wlsifconfig.sh -addif eth0 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 ' returned an unsuccessful exit code '1'. Check NM logs for script output.
    and Bam server goes to Failed Not Restartable state.

    The error is clearly out there
    java.io.IOException: Command '/oracle/Shared_MWHome/user_projects/domains/SOA_Domain/bin/server_migration/wlsifconfig.sh -addif eth0 192.168.1.6 255.255.255.0 ' returned an unsuccessful exit code '1'. Check NM logs for script output.
    This error occurs due to a failure in adding the virtual IP of BAM server to the network interface you have specified in nodemanager.properties.
    You need to check whether you have specified the correct interface and subnet mask in node manager.properties as below :
    The fourth step is to edit the Node Manager's properties file. This file is called nodemanager.properties
    and is located in the ORACLE_BASE/product/osbmw/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager directory.
    For server migration to work properly, you need to add the properties listed below:
    Interface=eth0
    NetMask=255.255.255.0
    UseMACBroadcast=true
    · Interface
    This property specifies the interface name for the floating IP (for example, eth0).
    · NetMask
    This property specifies the net mask for the interface for the floating IP. The net mask should the
    same as the net mask on the interface; 255.255.255.0 is used as an example in this document.
    · UseMACBroadcast
    This property specifies whether or not to use a node's MAC address when sending ARP packets,
    that is, whether or not to use the -b flag in the arping command.

  • SOAP ports with cluster setup and BES?

    Okay, our cluster setup in NetWare (yes, still NetWare cluster) with Groupwise 7.0.3 we have unique TCP ports for the client/server (like 1677-something). Even though each clustered node has a unique IP and is running in protected memory.
    That being said:
    We'd like to enable SOAP for use with BES and GWArchive.
    The issue/question:
    Do either of these figure out the SOAP port for each PO? Or must the SOAP port be the same among all the PO's for BES to work properly?
    If the SOAP port must be the same (I'm not the BES admin, so I don't know if the setup lets you specify just one port or if you can defined them per PO), can you run multiple POA on the same physical host (keep in mind, this is clustered with protected memory) and use the same TCP port # for SOAP?

    I haven't used BES, but in general there's no auto-discover method for
    SOAP ports, so yes they'd probably have to be the same port.

  • Oracle cluster setup

    Hi There,
    We're trying to build a clustered oracle environment using oracle 11g (11.2.0.1) under Windows 2008 server.
    The basic setup is to have 2 servers (active/passive), one shared SAN disk, install the software on both servers, put the database datafiles on the shared disk/SAN and when needed we can switch the shared disk between the 2 servers as failover/failback.
    IS the above industry standard cluster setup? or is there a better way of doing it? does oracle/windows provide a way to failover/failback between servers?
    Are there any documents that we can read that explains a good cluster setup please (without using RAC)? Or is there a document that have a better setup?
    Can someone shed some light on this please and/or point us to the right direction.
    Thanks

    Does oracle clusterware comes shipped with the specific release (10g, 11g..etc) database installation pack or is it a separate download?
    We saw this under the oracle download section:
    Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Grid Infrastructure (11.2.0.1.0) for Microsoft Windows (x64)
           Download      win64_11gR2_grid.zip (715,166,425 bytes) (cksum - 3127109177)
    Contains the Grid Infrastructure Software including Oracle Clusterware, Automated Storage Management (ASM), and ASM Cluster File System. Download and install prior to installing Oracle Real Application Clusters, Oracle Real Application Clusters One Node, or other Oracle software in a Grid Environment So, I was wondering if we should download this and install it on the server?
    Thanks

  • VMM Library Hosted By a Cluster

    So, we have a Hyper-V cluster running Server 2012 R2. We installed SCVMM and added the cluster. How, the Cluster is using a CSV to store virtual machines, which is running off a Storage Appliance the hosts are talking with via iSCSI. Everything is working
    great, but I've run into a problem, I want my VMM libraries to live on the Storage Appliance the cluster is using. Ideally, I'm wondering if there is a way to host a library share from a cluster? I'd like to create a LUN to store all my VM templates and have
    that LUN hosted by the cluster. I can create a LUN and assign it to a File Server role and share out the lun via UNC path, but what I'd really like is for that cluster name to be the VMM share, rather than installing the agent on a VM or something and then 
    having the VM act as a proxy. Realistically, if I'm deploying a VM from my library share that's on the same storage appliance as the host it's going to is using the fewer network hops between them the better since internally my cluster is all 10gigabit. How
    do I add a library share that's not an actual server, but just a UNC path from a LUN? I've added it for now as a UNC path through my VMM server, but I'm worried it's going through that machine to go back to the cluster.
    I know that Ideally with an SMI or SMP the SCVMM could probably use sancopy, how would that setup work though? Would I need to create a dummy VM and use iSCSI to connect it to a LUN, and then no traffic would actually go over iSCSI because it would just
    use SAN copy as long as my storage appliace is capable of SAN copy?

    When you add a library server with shares to VMM, VMM performs an installation of the VMM agent. You will not be able to install a VMM agent on your storage appliance directly, as this requires Windows Server. 
    You could create a guest file cluster that is using a LUN from your storage appliance, and
    then add it to VMM afterwards.

    Please check you can telnet port 443 and port 444 on Lync Front End Serve from client.
    Try to regenerate a new certificate for Lync Front End Server.
    Check all the services on Lync Front End Server are started.
    Check the option “Enable all purposes for this certificate” is checked for the trusted root CA certificate.
    For the detailed steps:
    Run MMC--Add\Remove Snap-ins--certificates--Local Computer--Trusted Root Certificate Authorities--Certificates, find the Root CA certificate you installed--Properties--General, check the "Enable all purposes for this certificate".

  • Why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup

    Hello All,
                 I got this question lately.. "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup". I know we use the reverse proxy at Middleware level for multiple security reasons.
    Thanks..

    "why do we use reverse proxy for Oracle RAC Cluster setup".
    I wouldn't. I wouldn't use a proxy of any sort for the Cluster Interconnect for sure.

  • FrontEnd hosts in weblogic cluster

    Hello,
    I have set the frontEnd hosts in weblogic cluster(10.3.5) to the loadbalancer URL(https://xyz.com) . Webservice developed in 11g is deployed to the cluster. The dynamic wsdl generated contains the the Address of the frontEnd in <address> Tag of the WSDL file.

  • Display logfiles in cluster setup (HTTPS UI)

    Hi all
    In my standalone setup, I can display and download logfiles in HTTPS-Webgui under "Log Subscriptions" -> "Log Files".
    But in a cluster setup, I can't see the column "Log Files" under "Log Subscriptions". How can I access the files?
    Thanks!

    Hello Christoph,
    viewing individual logfiles on the GUI is notavailable for appliances in a cluster. You can still access them via your browser by using:
    ftp://appliancename.local
    as URL, where "appliancename.local" is the hostname or IP.  This will prompt you for an username and password, you can use your normal admin credentials. Also possible:
    ftp://[email protected]
    ftp://admin:[email protected]
    If you want to include username (and password)
    Hope that helps,
