DRS-In-CCM5

Dear sir ,
i have a CCM 5, i am trying to take a backup of my CCM.after selection disaster and recovery page, when i click on tape drive option it does not show me any drive.
i have two question regarding disaster and recovery,
1) it should be a tape drive on MCS server or it can be anywhere?and why it is not there
2)I was trying to take backup with SFTP but problem is that i cannt find any SFTP server for windows,could u plz tell me SFTP server for windows,i wanna take backup on my windows machine.
or can i use FTP for DRS?
your assistance will be higly appreciated
thanks

Hi,
Has a tape drive been installed physically in the server? They are an optional extra.
SFTP is a nice option.
Use this free server for Windows...

For a commerical solution (still quite cheap)
You can use vandyke vshell server (you can download a trial)

DRS issues with Unity Connection 7.1.5

Hi all,
We're having some Issues with the DRS Backup of a CUCM BE 7.1.5 System.
System Version is 7.1.5.10000-12.
When selecting the CUC Feature in DRS the backup fails,
The Error I get is the following:
Failed to initiate backup. Server [ZURCM01], component [CLM] requires component [PLATFORM] to be registered.
When deactivating the CUC Feature the Backup runs normally.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks for all your Help

How can use all vcenter feature such as HA and drs without shared storage

Hi
i have 2 esxi host dl 380g8
but i don't have any shared storage or san now i want use vcenter feature like ha and drs now for use this features do i have to run VSAN?
i readed for for use vsan we have to buy ATLEAST ONE ssd disk is this trure?
ssd disk is necessary?
atleast one ssd disk for each host ?
can use from all of vcenter feature with VSAN ?
please some help me

Hi,
For VSAN you need at LEAST 3 hosts (4 recommended).
Each host must have 1 SSD for read cache/write buffer.
Do you have any storage at all? How about running a NAS such as "OpenFiler" or "FreeNAS". That way you can present shared storage via that way. (I'd use this in Lab only). These NAS O/S's also work as virtual machines so you can turn any disk into shared storage.

Not sure if this applies to all instances, but in our case this issue was caused by an incorrect startup script for the admin node. We had neglected to include the -server flag. Adding the flag resolved the issue for us.

LinkSys and CCM5

Hello
Do i need third party license to register Linksys SIP phone with CCM5?
Thanx
Vlad

Hi Vlad,
My understanding of adding Third Party SIP Phones is that you just need the normal License units on CCM 5. Have a look at the following;
Add and configure the third-party SIP phone by choosing Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) or (Basic) from the Add a New Phone Configuration window.
Note Third-party SIP Device (Basic) supports one line and consumes three license units, and Third-party SIP Device (Advanced) supports up to eight lines and video, and consumes six license units.

DRS Restore from CUCM 8.5 to 10.5

I am doing a sandbox VM and about to restore from prod MCS 8.5 to VM 8.5. I've installed the exact same version and have everything ready to go. I'm just a bit leery of starting the DRS restore on the new VM. I'm at the point of selecting the server to be restored. I only want to do the Pub so I select that. I then select the server to restore database from, the Pub. The new VM is not the same server name or IP address as prod.
Is there absolutely no impact to the production Pub? I have to get this going but I can't risk any interruption of service.

If you want to restore a DRS backup, your need the exact same hostname and IP (along with other parameters) from the original server in the new server. Meaning, your server just won't accept the backup you have. It does not work that way.
If you haven't, you should review the DRS guide to fully understand what you need to do for this to work.

Is it possible to exclude a HOST from DRS.

Hi, I want to know if it possible (maybe in DRS advances options) to exclude a Host from the DRS.
I got one cluster with 8 hosts. I want to let the DRS on the cluster for all the host except one.
I don't want to create a rule to exclude VMs from the host.
I want the DRS to continue to work on the cluster but I want it to not considered a specific host.
Thanx

All our hosts in the cluster are the same except for one.
9 x HP Proliant DL580 G5 (16CPUs x 2.933GHz)
1 x HP Proliant DL580 G7 (24CPUs x 2.663 GHz)
The DRS seems to have difficulty to balance efficiently the charge on this one. For example, all other servers are at 30% CPU and Memory at 70%. At the same time, the G7 keeps having a charge at 50% CPU and 92% memory, no-mater which VM is on it.
So what I would have like to do was to exclude this specific host from the DRS and control his charge manually. At least to test it.
I know that the best practice recommend to have all the same hardware, but it's not always possible.

DRS & HA Not Working

Hi
I have been trying to see how DRS work in OVM 3.0.2. I have two servers with OVM Server 3.0.2 installed on it and an OVM manager 3.0.2. I have edited the policies of the server pool and made the Policy type - DRS, Time Period - 2 minutes, Server CPU threshold - 10 %, network threshold - 10% to test DRS. I got around 2 VMS running on one of the server in the server pool and the other server is free without any load. On two VMS i have the Application CPUHOG (The App which Max the CPU utilization to 100%) and tried running multiple instances of the APP on each VM. The APP max the CPU usage to 100 percent ( I can see that in the TASKMANAGER->PERFORMANCE). I also see that the server utilization went to 100% without any doubt. But the DRS doesn't seems to be working for me. I have waited for some more time in fact but no luck.
My both VMS are HA enabled. So, I thought of checking the HA and powered down the server but none of the VMs were migrated to the other server.
I was just wondering whether i missed anything else from the confguration/Edit polices(DRS) end.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You can check what the LoadBalancer process is deciding by looking at the AdminServer.log on your Oracle VM Manager machine at /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs/AdminServer.log
I would set the levels to 10 minutes and at least 50%. You need to make sure that DRS has enough time to finish a migration before it starts checking again. Also, you need to make sure that you won't blow the DRS policy by migrating. It could be deciding that it would just leave things alone.

Cucm DRS backup components missing 8.6(1a)

hi,
we are in the process of migrating to latest 10 version. the current version is 8.6(1a) CUCM. I tried build the customer exact environment in the lab (same ip/dns .same version of cucm..etc)...finally when I brought the backup to the lab to restore to this newly built cucm, I noticed the cucm drs components which will be listed on the Disaster recovery restore wizard after the tar file has been accessed, missing few components.
for example, in ideal situation you will see the components car,cdpagt,syslogagt,ccmprefs,bat,platform,tct,ccmdb,clm,tftp,moh,ann, reporter. (see attached pic, "supposed to see") but my situation
cdpagt,reporter,bat,tftp,cef,ann,moh components are not shown. thus when I initiate the restore, it fails. this is not to say that customer may have not given all the backup files. I was there when I dragged and dropped in my pc.

resolved it.
all we need to do is deactivate and reactivate the services for the missing components. for ex. if tftp component is missing then we will have to deactivate and reactivate. go to DRS page and check to see if that shows up as component being backed up.. it will show up. I found a bug for this version. but the details of it does not tell you about all the components missing on mine. it only shows tftp component missing. with work around being the same.
thanks

Restoring single server DRS backup to cluster?

Hi all,
We are migrating to a new cluster from a single MCS server. I have a DRS backup from the single server, and we have already built up the new Pub and Sub for testing pursposes. We have finished testing and want to migrate. The new hardware has been set up with the same hostname and IP as the existing hardware, so I can just do a DRS restore straight on to the new publisher.
My question is, do I need to restore to the publisher, then rebuild and re-add the subscriber? Or if I simply disconnect the sub, restore to the pub and reconnect the sub, will the database replication take care of it?
All the security passwords and hostnames and IPs will be the same between the old and new hardware.
Thanks

I suggest that you reinstall the publisher OS, restore the DRS backup, and then reinstall and join the subscriber to the cluster. I say this because there are OS and database-level changes that take place when you add a node to the cluster. The DRS restore will cleanly restore the publisher database and cause the database replication to tear down. It's not documented whether this would clear out the OS-level configuration as well though. If this is production it's not worth the risk of 'maybe'. To be frank, the whole cluster replication setup is a bit touchy.

How do I specify which Storage DRS Cluster a VM deploys on?

Hi All,
I have tried utilising the VirtualMachine.Storage.Cluster.Name Custom Attribute to get a VM to deploy onto a specific Storage DRS cluster.
This doesn't seem to work though and the VM's are still assigned sporadically.
I am utilising vCAC 6.1 with vSphere as the direct endpoint.
We have a Metro Storage Cluster. Each vSphere cluster has 2 Datastore clusters each.
Has anyone had any success with this or is there an alternate Custom Attribute I should be using?
Regards
Dave

Hi,
Thanks for your response, unfortunately this will not work in my situation.
As mentioned, we are utilising vCAC 6.1 and VRM.Datacenter.Location cannot be specified in the Property Dictionary.
I have seen this worked in vCAC 6.0 and it may have returned in vCAC 6.2? According to > http://vcdx56.com/2014/12/04/heads-up-vcloud-automation-center-property-definition-information/
I am also unable to use Reservation Policy __ReservationID as I have two reservations for each Reservation Policy.
Selecting a Reservation policy would not define a specific Cluster. If I have a specific Reservation Policy for each Reservation then a user would have to select between two UID's for the reservations that wouldn't make sense to them.
It seems like my only option is to upgrade to 6.2 or create a vCO workflow that assigns a Storage Policy and DRS group depending on the location the system ends up in.
Thanks for the input!
Dave

Bridge Upgrade with Spare Hardware - DRS Restore Question

Dear All,
I am planning an upgrade to UCS from 7.1.3 running on MCS 7835-H2 hardware.
I have managed to find a spare MCS 7845-H2 and I wanted to know whether:
1. Is it possible to do a DRS restore from 7835 to 7845? A quick look at the spec sheet suggests Dual Core, 146GB disks and 4GB RAM are the main differences between the two chassis.
2. Can the restore process accommodate a change of IP address? It would be an advantage to use a different IP address on the spare bridge hardware in order to access the SFTP server.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Regards
James.

Hi James,
Just thought I would add one note to the great tips from my friends
Aaron & Aman (+5 each!)
If moving to 9.x from 7.1.3 on VM Check the migration available
as part of the Drive to 9 "Jump" upgrade from 7.1.3/7.1.5 to 9.1.2
This is a new simplified upgrade process that is detailed by Amit here.

CUCM DRS backups to a Synology NAS

Has anyone had any experience with doing CUCM DRS backups to a Synology NAS setup for SFTP. I am having problems getting backups from both the CUCM pub and the PLM server. Basically when defining the backup server it cannot connect via SFTP
Strange thing is if that I connect using WinSCP and the same credentials I'm putting into CUCM it works fine.
Any ideas welcome!

I am trying to set up the same thing here.
Everything looks good via WinSCP, can log in upload & download files, create directories, etc.
The CUCM box says:
Unable to save Backup Device successfully. Update failed : Unable to access SFTP server or SFTP server too slow to respond.
I have tried all sorts of values for the path as that is known to be very picky. None of them make a difference.
I also know it's not "too slow" because that message is returned almost instantly -- no waiting on timeouts.
I did a packet capture on this, which ironically involved me using SFTP to upload the capture file to a Linux box. The capture shows 13 packets, where there is the initial handshake, then the SSH protocol identifiers, Key Exchange Inits, and then is closed. The first FIN comes from the synology box, followed by an ACK & FIN from the CUCM. So this points at the synology not being able to agree with the client and just terminating the connection.
Digging in furhter & comparing the algorithm lists sent by each, it seems they could not agree on a common cipher.

CUCM 9.1.2 DRS backup takes extremely long time to complete

Anybody else noticed that DRS backups from CUCM 9.1.2 to a Windows SFTP server (ex: OpenSSH) takes up to 6-7 hours to complete?
Backup to a Linux SFTP server runs fine.
All backup worked fine on Windows or Linux with CUCM 9.1.1.

Hi Sebastien,
Can you try taking the backup on a machine in the same subnet as cucm and see if the issue persists? Have you tried restarting the DRF MA and LA services yet? Openssh is one of the supported options for DRS backup so you can engage TAC if the issue persists.
