Failed OVM Server Upgrade from 3.0.2 to 3.1.1

I was trying to upgrade my OVM Server environment from *3.0.2* to *3.1.1* using the CD. I got the following error message after choosing the Upgrade option: Oracle VM server 3.0.2 (cciss/c0d0p2). The other option was to Reinstall System.
+"Error mounting device sda2 as /:+
+Device or resource busy+
+This most likely means this+
+partition hast not been formatted.+
+Press OK to reboot your system."+
My hardware is a HP BL465c G7 server, which is certified by Oracle to run the OVM 3.1.
http://linux.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=117:2:3396212307219555::NO::P2_CERT_ID:1871
Any advice that can help me find the way to upgrade my servers?
Thanks in advance,
Andrés L.

Hi,
I tried "yum update -y" and after reboot I encountered a kernel panic after the following message: switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory.
So I got to reinstall ovm 3.0.3 from scratch.
Maybe the hard disk drivers in 3.1.1 kernel version (uek2) are not compatible with my server disks.
If someone has an accurate explanation to this issue, could be helpfull.
Best Regards,
Andres Loaiza.

Cluster Not Available error when booting OVM server DOM0 from USB

Hi all,
I have been wanting to run OVM 2.2 from a USB stick for a while now. I ran through the install CD today and saw there was a 'minimal USB install' option on the installation screen. So I plugged in a 4GB USB stick, rebooted, and ran the USB install.
After a while, the install completed, OVM booted up perfectly it seemed, and I was happy.
The server had no local storage apart from this USB stick as we are going to be hooking it up to an iSCSI target for guest VM storage.
This was a new lab setup, so I got the VM Manager running on another system, connected to the USB booted OVM server, and went to create a pool.
Running the 'test connection' that worked fine.
Trying to add the pool - failed. I got the error 'Cluster Not Available'
On the OVM server I did a repos.py -l and nothing gets listed.
I understand that for HA you need a repository with shared storage. However, before I have used these same install CDs with a singe local hard disk, to get OVM server running, and it did so fine.
So what's different with the USB disk install that means you don't get a repository?
Do I have to create a special repository LUN, manually connect the OVM server to this, and then use repos.py to create it?
Cheers,
Jeff

Ok I have read, re-read related parts of the underground manual and have hit a brick wall with the 'simple' task of setting up a NIC for dedicated iSCSI traffic. The manual does not cover this task in the iSCSI SAN section.
So I'm in a catch 22.
My OVM server boots up, with it's single management NIC configured, but once booted - I don't want to connect to the iSCSI target via this network - I need it completely closed off.
I want to use another NIC (or bond of two) for dedicated iSCSI traffic to and from the OVM Server.
However, the underground manual strangely only seems to cover a single NIC configuration! It looks like he assumes you are going to be running iSCSI on your management NIC, which I can only think is incredibly bad practice.
I have installed OVM with the linux asknetwork - this did not give me the option to configure additional interfaces.
I then manually edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 on the OVMServer, restarted network, restarted the entire box - I can ping my new NIC / IP locally from within the OVM server, but I can not connect to the iSCSI target, nor can I ping the iSCSI NIC on the OVM server from the target.
This is such a simple thing to try to achieve - super frustrating...

VM live migration during OVM server upgrade

Hi Guys,
I'm planning to upgrade OVM 3.1.1 to 3.2.7.
There are 4 OVM Servers in server pool and all is using the same CPU family which means the live migration is possible.
I just wondering if I upgrade one OVM server to 3.2.7 first and then is it still available to live migrate VMs from 3.1.1. servers to new 3.2.7 server?
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Hi Jay,
I'd do the following:
- free up one OVS by migrating all guests to the remaining OVS
- upgrade OVM Manager straigh to 3.2.8
- upgrade the idle OVS to 3.2.8
- live migrate your guests from one 3.1.1 OVS to the new, idle 3.2.8 OVS - if not using OVMM, then using xm
- round robin upgrade your remaining OVS
I've done that a couple of times…
Cheers,

Weblogic 6.1 server upgrade from SP2 to SP3

Hi All
We have weblogic server 6.1 SP2 installed on the solaris machine. Now we
have to upgrade our weblogic server 6.1 SP3. We also have downloaded the installable.
But that installable seems to over-write the previous weblogic server & installs
the server afresh. Is there any patch kinda thing available which allows me to
upgrade from SP2 to SP3 ? I don't want a fresh new install of SP3 server.
thanks in advance
-Kiran Rane

Upgrade installer from SP2 to SP3 is only available for paid BEA
customers. You need a login at http://support.bea.com

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Weblogic Portal ( Server ) upgrade from 10.0 MP1 to 10.3.5

HI,
We are currently attempting to upgrade WebLogic Portal Server in development environment and having problems when i run the installer. ( WLS1035_upgrade_generic.jar ).
I'm attempting this upgrade in Windows 7 professional environment ( 64 bit ) and it is a Windows VM with in a MAC OS X.
Problem : At the screen where it asks to Choose Middleware Home Type ---> click next   ---> it shows error message saying Product is not Installed.
Environment   :    Upgrade of WebLogic 10.0 MP1 portal server ( JDK 1.5_30 ) on a Windows Virtual Machine running using Parallels Desktop software
Existing attempts :
I went through the forums and tried
- Oracle's Minimum Technical Requirements says that i need to have JDK 1.6_24 and have installed JDK 1.6.0_35. ( jdk-6u35-windows-x64.exe ) .
   I'm currently running the setup from command prompt using this version of Java.
- Tried using BEA WebLogic smart upgrade. But it is not recognising our Oracle Support Login credentials. I tried doing this in offline mode having the above .jar and .zip file patch in the correct directory but its not recognising.
Weblogic home directory is c:\bea and it has got all the directories inside it -   i don't understand the reason why installer is not able to identify the existing WLS installation.
I would appreciate help around this as i'm not sure what else to try ?
Cheers,

I am not sure what you are doing is supported. You cannot upgrade a 10.0 to a 10.3.5 the way you are trying. The updater may be used to upgrade froma 10.3.x to 10.3.5 i believe. Check this out Upgrading WebLogic Server 9.x or 10.0 Application Environments to 10.3.5

SAP Content Server Upgrade from 6.3 to 6.4 & MaxDB 7.3 to 7.8

Dear Experts,
We are in planning of upgrade SAP Content server from 6.3 to 6.4 and MaxDB from 7.3 build 35 to 7.8.
For Content server upgrade is that we need to install the Content server 6.4 and install the latest MaxDB 7.8 and export and import the data.
We are on Win 2003 32 Bit and we are migrating to win 2008 R2 64 Bit.
Is it possible directly using database copy and restoring in MaxDB 7.8 version?
Or we need to use loadercli for migrating the data.
As per the SDN Link http://forums.sdn.sap.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1649661
for content server upgrade is by replacing latest dll files at the respective dir.
Pls let me know your views and known issues.
Thank You,
Mahesh

Getting WSDL in reverse order after server upgrade from WAS 5.1 to 6.1

Hi All.I need your help.I am working in RAD 7.0 .After the IBM websphere upgrade from 5.1 to 6.1 i am getting the wsdl generated exactly in reverse order(in 6.1) as compared to that in version 5.1.Can you tell me wat can be the issue .We are using glue-pro jar for generating the WSDL.is there any setting in RAD or WAS which need to be changed so that i can get WSDL in old format.
Any suggestion or opinion is welcomed.

Does it matter? And if so, why does it matter?
From my previous experience with Glue you don't want to have it generate WSDLs anyway. It's not very good at it at all, generates WSDL that are full of errors.
Better to write your own WSDL and tell Glue to use those.

Hyper-V host server upgrade from Server 2008 R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre

We are about to upgrade our Hyper-V host servers from Server 2008R2 Enterprise SP1 to Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to take advantage of the latest Hyper-V features.
This only concerns the host servers and not the guest VMs running on the hosts (they will be upgraded next year).
This is what is running on our host servers:
Host 1
File,print & issuing CA server
Exchange 2010
SharePoint 2010
Quickbooks server
Domain controller 1
Offline CRL CA
Host 2
SQL 2008
Forefront TMG 2010
Domain Controller 2
Windows 7 client
With this is mind, I have drafted a rough action plan as follows:
Create a list of all file locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Document all existing system settings
Gather server information, download drivers, RAID controller and other boot drivers & firmware updates (in case the in-place upgrade fails)
Test all software media
Copy all VMs onto external data storage (NAS drive)
As part of the upgrade process we will redistribute some hard drive space i.e.
expand them to their new sizes and verify the data integrity of copied VMs by powering up each VM in a test environment
Wipe and adjust the sizes of the host partitions to accommodate the expanded VMs
Perform an in-place upgrade to Server 2012 R2 Datacenter
Check EV, services etc
Change the default locations for VM memory, snapshots, virtual memory and Hyper-V config files
Upgrade Anti-virus and other system software
Test the system
Are there any glaring omissions? Does anyone have any tips they can give me?

Hi Marco,
always do a fresh Installation of your hyper-V Hosts, you could end up doing a lot of Troubleshooting with Drivers,Addons etc.. new Installation ist way faster.
Depending if you have a Cluster or Standalone Servers there are different ways to do it.
When you have installed your 2012 R2 Hyper-V Server you just can Import the VMs from the new Location.
As far as i know VMs with snapshots are not supported, so you have to remove them before doing that move and commit the changes to the vhd files, the VM need to be offline on 2008R2 to do that.
You do not Need to Export the VMs on 2008R2, just copy it, normaly you should have all Files of a VM in one Folder.
A working Backup is always your friend on such Tasks.
When the VMs are running on Hyper-V 2012R2 do not forget to Update the Integration Services.
Make Sure your Servers Hardware are still supported with 2012R2, see Server Catalog and Support Matrix of the Vendor.
And last one, where possible and supported convert the VHDs to VHDx Disks, after testing the first boot of the VM.

Mac Mini Server upgrading from Lion 10.7.1 to Lion 10.7.2 Freezes in upgrade install reboot. What's wrong?

After downloading and installing Lion upgrade 10.7.1, my Mac Mini (2010 model)) server will reboot to the Apple logo, but no spinning dial - freezes - requiring re-installation of the 10.7.1 version (which runs well.) Two upgrades are included in the update - Lion Recovery Update and Mac OSX Update. Should these be installed separately of together as they are downloaded? Am I doing something wrong? The machine has been continuously updated since OSX Lion came out so I am not lacking currency in the OS prior to this update.

@the hatter: First of all: thanks for your assistance !
What I have is: the MacPro 1.1 (2006) and a MacBookPro (2009).
Inside the MacPro:
(1) Start Disc
(2) 2nd Startdisk backed up by SuperDuper from (1) (without Parallels disk)
(3) Media (backup on TimeCapsule)
(4) TM backup of (1) without Parallels
(5): USB-Cradle with my last SnowLeo system-hard disk.
All tests to boot failed with: disk (1) Recovery HD (it is there!) , disk (2), external disk (5), Lion Install DVD , Recovery HD from a USB-Stick (created on my MBP).
All tests ended with a grey blank screen :-(
I'm German, so my English has limits. What do you mean with:
1. "Pull the bump system drive " ? Should I open my mac and put the old start disk aside ?
(by the way: I have a backup-drive inside the MacPro from this start disk.)
2. "Do a clean install of OS". On which disk ? A new one ?
3. "Put the old working system in FW case". ? FW case ? FW=FireWire ? case? I'm sorry, I do not understand what you mean.
4. "Update and install". What has to be updated ? The new installed Lion ?
5. "Import / Migrate with Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant" ? Can't I migrate from "2nd StartDisk" ?
6. "I am sure there is an uninstaller for Parallels 7 though not whether it can run from another system." I cannot use the uninstaller, as I am not able to boot the Mac :-(
7. The first OS on the MacPro was 10.4.6 (Tiger) I had Leo, SnowLeo and now Lion. So I believe it will be the moment to build a new clean Lion system.

Query about the steps for Weblogic Server Upgrade from 8.1 to 10.3

Hi!
We have planned to upgrade our Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3. Could anyone advise me:
1. How to upgrade the Weblogic Server from 8.1 to 10.3? Can the Weblogic Server 10.3 coexist with the Weblogic Server 8.1 in one physical server?
2. Where can the upgrade software be downloaded?
3. We have a web service currently running under Weblogic Workshop as the Weblogic Server is started via the workshop. Can this web service be run under Weblogic Server 10.3?
4. Are there any foreseeable issues/problems that will happen?
Please kindly help me. Thanks a lot.
Best Regards
May

Download location: http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
You can upgrade the domain after you install wls 10.3 using QuickStart.
When we migrated we have moved from windows to linux. We have installed, created domain, created managed servers, configured, etc. from scratch. We didn't face any 'show stopper' issues.

Install Failed - trying to upgrade from 10.4.11 to 10.5

Hello,
I have a MacBook "Core Duo" 1.83 13" running OS 10.4.11 that I need to upgrade to OS 10.5 in order to be able to sync my iPhone iOS 5.1.1 because it needs iTunes 10. I have the OS 10.5 install CD and everything appears fine when I start the install but nearing the completion of the install I get a screen that comes up saying "Install Failed" "Mac OS X count not be installed on your computer" "The installer encountered an unknown error that failed to install. Contact the software manufacture for assistance." Then it gives you only the option to restart. I proceeded to have it restart but it launched from the CD again. I went into the Startup Disk to try and select my Macintosh HD rather then the Install CD but could not see it. I then proceeded to the Disk Utility to see if I could check the Macintosh HD there and I could not select it. I told the computer to restart again, knowing that it would load the install disc again because I didn't have the option of the HD. This time the HD appeared in the Disk Utility but not in the Startup Disk, so I proceeded to run Verify Disk Permissions which came up normal. I then launched the Startup Disk again and the HD appeared so I could get the full use of the computer back. So I don't know what to do now. I have not tried installing OS 10.5 again but do want and need to upgrade so I can sync my iPhone with my computer which I have never been able to do yet.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Was able to work on the computer this weekend, started by clearing out some space on the HD as you had recommended BDAqua. Freed up 31 GB of space but was at the point where I didn't know what else I could delete, moved iPhoto and iTunes libraries along with the whole documents folder off the computer, even ran OnyX to clear out cache, log files etc.
Restarted the computer booting from the install DVD, then ran disk repair. Everything came back okay so proceeded with the update installation. Checking installation DVD took a while but started the installation okay. The installation its self took about an hour plus but did not fail at the end so that's a great.
Did the update I wanted to iTunes 10.5 then 10.6 so that I can sync the iPhone to the computer now. The computer does appear a little draggy at times even though I have 512MB of RAM, which I know is not a lot any more. Is there anything else I can remove or clean up that was installed by this update that is not needed or can't run on this machine, in hopes of making it a little smoother.
Thanks for all your help.

Mail can't find IMAP mailboxes after server upgrade from 10.3- 10.4

For the past several years I've been running an IMAP server on my home network to allow me to keep all my mail in synch no matter which of my Macs I'm accessing mail from. (Bernard Teo's Postfix Enabler has been an amazing tool. See: http://cutedgesystems.com/software/PostfixEnabler/ ) Well, since I'm adding a RAID to the backup hardware on the same server later in the week, I decided to finally upgrade the server from Panther to Tiger. I can send and receive mail just fine. (I upgraded to MailServer from the site listed above.) However, all of my IMAP folders other than the associated inboxes have vanished, according to Mail.app. Now, when I check ~/Library/Mail the folders are still visible, and a quick Get Info tells me that they aren't empty. How do I get Mail to notice these folders?
A shot of the offending folder should appear below:
867 DP G4, Powerbook 1.67 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

More info: I've tried a variety of paths to the mailboxes, and this is the only one that has yielded anything. Still, it ain't usable, yet.
