Getting a second server, suggestions for which services to put on each?

Hi we currently have one Xserve (G5) which runs all our services, but are about to get a new Xserve and I would like a bit of guidance as to which services I should keep together on one server and which I should move.
Because the two servers can't run the same OS (one leopard one snow leopard) I know there are some things I cant do, like OD replicas.
But is it best to keep OD, DNS,AFP, DHCP on the newer server and move other services to the older one.
We use Kerio for mail/cal, Rumpus for FTP and Retrospect for backup, also have iChat server and wiki server running.

It depends a bit on number of CPUs, RAM and such in the old machine.
But generally I would consider the old one for lighter ("backup") duty putting most, all essential services, in the new machine.
If you run Kerio with the "OD connection" (users and groups from OD) and put the OD in the SLS (new machine) and Kerio in the old LS the "Connected to a directory service" must be used/work.
This can mean if the SLS stops responding (Kerberos/LDAP) for some reason mail accounts will not be present in Kerio until that is fixed - incoming mail for those accounts will "fail".
DNS can be used on both preferably setup as master/primary and slave/secondary.
What machine to run Retrospect on depends on what version/license ("multiple servers" license? - if not you might not be able to use Retrospect Remote on one of the servers), backup type/backup device and other hardware (SCSI card?) used. If using removable backup disks I'd probably use the G5 for Retrospect, especially if it's the older ≤ 6.1.x version, otherwise probably the newer Intel machine.
I haven't used Retrospect to backup system/configuration, just data.

  • Any suggestions for 3G service in Kenya?

    Any suggestions for 3G service in Kenya?

    If that's a problem with your cable company, change the company.
    If your cable company is not able to provide you with a cable modem which gets you full performance for their service why would you bother with that company or try to make it better than them?
    If you subscribe to a 100 Mbit/s service they must be able to provide you with a modem that does 100 Mbit/s and be able to demonstrate you 100 Mbit/s on your cable.
    If they are unable to provide you with a modem which does 100 Mbit/s and thus cannot demonstrate that the service they have installed in fact can do 100 Mbit/s but only give you a 50 Mbit/s because that's the best they have, why bother buying yourself a better modem to find out whether or not their service does what it promises or not??
    In addition, an integrated device won't get you better performance. On the contrary, consumer devices are generally single CPU (and core) devices. It's usually running some Linux or similar. If a single process gets overloaded it can drag down the performance of the whole device. For instance, let's say there is a bug in the print server software of the router. You print something and it hangs and the print server process on the router runs wild. Now the CPU is fully loaded and the routing performance will go down. If there is a bug in the routing software it will bring down the whole device and you can't even print.
    You'll get the best performance if you use dedicated devices because then one device cannot overload another. Get a modem. Get a wireless ethernet router. Get a printer with integrated print server. That's far better.
    It's like the all-purpose audio device compared to components...

  • SCOM 2012 Installation does not show the SQL Server Instance for reporting services

    I have an issue when I try to install SCOM 2012 with the Reporting Server feature, so in the step that I have to select a SQL Server Instance I cannot do that, because as you can see in the picture no one option appears.
    In my scenario I have a DCSERVER, SQLSERVER2008 R2, SCCMSERVER 2012 and in other server I are trying to install SCOM 2012. I are trying to use the same SQLSERVER to SCOM 2012.
    Should I do other procedure on SQL Server before to continue? I will apreciate someone could say me what I need to do to resolve this issue.
    Regards,
    Paul Mendoza.

    Hi Paul
    Can you confirm that SQL Reporting Services is installed on the server that you are doing the install.
    For a lab environment where you have SCOM Management Server, Web Server on one server and SQL Server on another you need to:
    - run setup on the SCOM Server and choose NOT to install reporting. The install here will create the OperationsManager database and OperationsManagerDW (reporting) database.
    - run setup on the SQL Server where SQL Reporting Services is installed. Then choose to install reporting. You should then see the SQL Reporting Services instance on the above window which is blank in your screenshot.
    Take note of the warning in that window - SCOM uses its own role based security within SQL Reporting Services and this can break other reporting. E.g. you can't install SCOM and SCSM reporting (SQL RS component) together. 
    Cheers

  • Where can I get Oracle database server 9i for windows 2003

    Hi,
    I need Oracle Database Server 9i for Windows 2003. From Oracle online download, there is one a patch set available. Where can I get the full version?
    Thanks
    Laura

    Hi, I found the solution. There is no software to direcly install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003. I need to install the software for NT/2000 first, the patch it.
    That's why there is only patchset for 2003 for downloading. See the doc below:
    three installation components required to install
    Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) on Windows Server 2003. These three
    installation components must be installed in the order listed. If you are
    migrating a pre-existing Oracle9i database to Windows Server 2003, first
    upgrade the database to the Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) patch set
    before upgrading the operating system.
    Obtain the following installation components:
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Windows
    Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows
    Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows

  • Suggestions for email service on E71

    I want to signup for a new email address and before I do I want to make sure it is completely compatible with my phone(E71) and can use all its features(Whatever they maybe).
    Could you guys suggest a service? For starts, I'm thinking Gmail is the best solution as of now.
    Thanks

    Gmail is perfect for use on the E71-1 as it offers both POP and IMAP protocols according to your usage requirements and it is free!
    You could also consider another local mail provider, as long as they support POP/IMAP you should be fine,
    Exchange is possible as well if you are in a corporate division that has an exchange server, if not it is unlikely you would be able to use this type of mail

  • How To Configure TREX Name Server&Port for UDDI  Service Registry Settings

    Hello Experts,
    we are using CE 7.1 SP 4 and I would like to use the trex service in the Service Registry.
    I use \NWA\Service Registry Configuration\Service Registry Settings\Keyword Search and want to test the TREX Communication using the Test Connection Button.
    If I do so, I receive "Connection to TREX not successful".
    When I press the Update TREX button I receive this exception:
    com.sapportals.trex.TrexException: TREX Name Server (including back-up servers) is down or not accessable. (Errorcode 7217)
    I tried to configure the trex.service with the two parameters: nameserver.address and nameserver.backupserverlist -> tcpip://myhostname.mydomain:30001 (Instance 00).
    I am not sure if the port number is correct -> is there a way to lookup the correct port number?
    Is there something else I should configure?
    Thanks for help, best regards
    Thomas

    Hi Ganesh,
    In order to access the Visual Administrator, go to Start > Programs > SAP J2EE Engine > Visual Administrator. After you login, you will see 2 nodes i.e. Dispatcher and Server. Expand the Server node. Then go to "Services" and expand it. Then go all the way down to "TREX Service". Then on the right hand side, go to the property "nameserver.address" where you will key in "tcpip://<nameserver>:<port>". Then hit "Update" and click on the "Save" button. Then when you go to TRex Monitor, you should be able to see the Name Server running. Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Sri

  • Suggestion for Ping service

    Since Apple doesn't seem to have a general feedback option, I'll post it here. I actually love Ping and I've found some great music in the suggestions. BUT - there's a real hangup in the useability of the service. This morning I bough a song I'd heard on the radio and Ping came up with suggestions. I listened to a couple and liked them, so I clicked "buy" on one of the songs. The list changed, and gave me a new list based on that song. Well, I wanted songs from the prior list, but there was no way to get back to it. I clicked the back button in iTunes and it took me back to the store. Poof - all of the Ping suggestions were gone, never to be found again. Why doesn't Ping retain suggestions or let you move through them like Netflix does? The Ping buttons in the playlist don't actually "ping" the songs. Great service, but seriously missing some very basic elements to make it useable. I want to be able to click a song and ping it without having to re-buy the song or write down everything I like from the Ping list. I would have bought more songs if I could have navigated through the Ping lists.
    Thanks.

  • What do you suggest for phone service provider?

    I think many of the SW users (including myself) will be jealous of your Google Fiber! :)An easy transition would be to look at a BYOB hosted voice provider. The good news is that there are hundreds to choose from, the bad news is that there are hundreds to choose from!
    You don't mention how many phones you have, but the beauty of hosted voice is that you can start with 1 line and scale as you need. Many plans include new, free phones as well as unlimited usage, all for a monthly fee. Most hosted providers share similar feature sets (IM/Chat/Presence, Reporting, VM to Email, IVR etc), but making a suggestion will require a little more digging on your current environment and planned growth, as well as your (and management) expectations/requirements.Happy to help, PM me with the details and I can help guide you and bring you multiple good...

    We are in Kansas City and Google Fiber is so prominent and we are switching from Time Warner where phone service is free with the internet and services;  Google Fiber does not have phone service and I am not ready for my business line to be on a mobile phone!  There was the Magic Jack that came out that runs off internet through the computer or router;  What is out there now?  What does anyone suggest?

  • Suggestions For Prepaid Service

    When I bought a $80.00 for about 3 months, Verizon started a new plan that is called $70.00 a month.   The problem is that at the Family Dollar there are
    no $70.00 cards to purchase so I can save $10 extra for other things.    When will this come into effect the $70 cards?      Also the availability of Verizon
    prepaid cards are very limited around here in my local area and I don't want to pay for one online because of shipping costs.   I have already talked to someone in customer service about this, and he said post a message here.

    As long as your account balance is at least the minimum required for your monthly price plan, your plan will activate. You can use any card combination to put money on your account when you have a monthly plan on prepaid. (example: a 50.00 card and a 20.00 card would give you enough to activate the 70.00 plan.) Just make sure you request the new 70.00 plan before adding the money. Hope this helps.

  • Need suggestion for which font to use

    I'm putting a photo book together of my father's time in the US Navy. I've got all the photos laid out but i have very little experience in what font looks good. Any ideas on font type/size would be much appreciated.
    thx
    lenn

    I advise that you use the default font for the theme you select. Going that route takes out the guesswork, and you can feel confident that the default font will coordinate well with your project. The only adjustment that I would advise making is a change in the size of the font to make the text better fit the space allocated to it.

  • Does anybody know how to get a valid email address for Apple service?  I am unable to call them during business hours and paid them over $200 a month ago to have a repair done ot my iPhone.  I have heard nothing.  They are usually good, but this time....

    I have looked all over the Apple Store website but there is no obvious email address.   I have tried to post feedback and 'follow my repair online' but the are not responding.  Thanks anybody who can advise an email address.

    Sorry, but Apple does not provide technical support via email, so they have no published email addresses. You will need to find a way to call them. Or make an appointment with the Genius Bar at an Apple Store, if there are any near you, and have them follow up.
    Regards.
