Hardware Specifications for the following

I want to set up the following virtual environment with the following and would like to know if this hardware spec will be able to run this. Hope for some feedback on this. Users is 20.
Server Hardware Spec :
2 X Intel Xeon E5606 2.13Ghz Processors
96 GB RAM
6 X Seagate 600GB SAS 15000RPM Drives setup in RAID 10
2 X Seagate 1TB SAS  72000RPM Drivers setup in RAID 5
VM's to be running the following
VM1 Windows 2012  -  Domain Controller and File Server
VM2  Windows 2012  - Exchange Server 2013
VM3 Windows 2012  - SQL 2012 
VM4 Windows 2012  - Great Plains
VM5 Windows 2012 - IIS 

Intel Xeon Processor E5606 is quite a few generations back now. How old is the box?
I'd be hard-pressed to deploy a virtualization stack on anything beyond E3 and E5 series CPUs maybe pushing into the E5640 and up (E560x are entry-level low performance CPUs).
We had a drive fail in a RAID 10 array. When swapping it out when the new one was plugged back in its pair failed about 2 minutes later. That put a stop to RAID 10 for us. RAID 6 and the server would still be alive today.
I suggest filling up the hard drive bays with the same make/model/size SAS drives and configure RAID 6. With a non-volatile cache or battery backup you should get decent throughput and IOPs. But that depends on what RAID controller this box will have too.
That far back generation wise and performance may not be as good as anticipated.
Disk subsystem and I/O will generally be the bottleneck in any virtualization solution IME.
Set up one RAID 6 array with two logical drives:
95GB LD for OS
Balance for VHDX files
Use fixed memory for Exchange, SQL (dynamic with conditions available for later version), and Great Plains. Will there be an RDS server in the mix? You can use Dynamic Memory with RDS but make sure its start-up RAM size is enough for the VM to start smoothly.

    Hi,
    Here are the defintions for the terms you hav requested-
    Web Dynpro Architecture
    Definition
    Web Dynpro is the SAP NetWeaver programming model for user interfaces (UIs).
    The Web Dynpro model is based on the Model View Controller paradigm, and has the
    following features that build on the classic dynpro model:
    Clear separation of business logic and display logic
    Uniform metamodel for all types of user interfaces
    Execution on a number of client platforms
    Extensive platform independence of interfaces
    Web Dynpro provides support for developing Web representation of a business application.
    You use specific tools to describe the properties of a Web Dynpro application in the form of
    Web Dynpro metadata. The necessary source code is then generated automatically and
    executed at runtime. In addition to the events offered by the framework, you can also define
    your own events for a Web Dynpro application. However, the event handling must always be
    programmed in separate source code areas which are executed automatically when the event
    is triggered at runtime.
    In Web Dynpro, each user interface is always made up of the same basic elements. These
    elements of the metamodel can be statically declared using Web Dynpro tools.
    It is also possible to implement elements of the metamodel at runtime and to change them or
    reintegrate them at runtime. Using these implementations, you can make any changes or
    enhancements to a user interface that has been created by declarative methods by
    generating new interface structures at runtime.
    This means that you can combine declarative processes and the implementation of source
    code.
    A Web Dynpro component is a reusable entity. It summarizes all components that are
    required as part of this programming unit for an executable Web Dynpro application.
    The Web Dynpro component concept offers a number of advantages:
    Structuring of the programming
    Creation of easily manageable application blocks
    Reusability of whole components
    Decoupling of software projects in both time and space
    The Web Dynpro component contains any number of windows and views and their
    corresponding controllers. Additional Web Dynpro components can also be referenced.
    View
    A view describes the layout and behavior of a rectangular area of a user interface.
    Every Web Dynpro application has at least one view. The layout of a view is made up of
    different user interface elements, which can be nested in each other. The positioning of
    interface elements in one view is supported by the supplied layout variants.
    In addition to the visible part, the layout, a view also contains a controller and a context. The
    data to which the elements of the view can be bound are stored and managed in the view
    context, enabling them to be represented or used on the screen. The view controller can
    contain methods for data retrieval or for processing user input.
    Window
    A window is used to combine several Views and View Sets (the concept of view sets is only
    offered in Web Dynpro for Java). A view can only be displayed by the browser if it has been
    embedded in a window. A window always contains one or more views, which are connected
    by navigation links. One of these views, or a view set, is specified as the start view and is
    displayed the first time the window is called.
    Windows have inbound and outbound plugs.
    Inbound Plugs and Outbound Plugs
    A window has one or several inbound or outbound plugs. Using these plugs, a window can be
    included into a navigation chain. The concept of these plugs corresponds to the concept of
    the plug for a view. Each plug of a window is visible within the entire window and can be used
    for navigating within this window. In addition, one or several plugs can be made accessible to
    the component interface so that they are visible even beyond the limits of the component in
    question. They thus belong to the interface view of the relevant window.
    They are used to navogate from one view to other and pass the data between the views. Which view to be called next from current view - the flow of views is descriebd here using Plugs.
    Controller
    Controllers are the active parts of a Web Dynpro application. They define how the user can
    interact with the Web Dynpro application. The data that a controller can access is defined in
    the corresponding context. Different instances of controllers and contexts exist within a Web
    Dynpro application.
    View Controller
    Each view has exactly one view controller, which processes the actions performed by the user in the view.
    A view also has exactly one view context, which contains the data required for the view.
    Interface Controller
    Each Web Dynpro component contains exactly one component controller. This controller is a
    global controller that is visible also outside the component. It is thus part of the interface of a
    Web Dynpro component.
    Context
    Definition
    The data used in the component or in the view are stored in the context. Read-write access to
    this data is available using the controllers as a starting point.
    Structure
    The data from the contexts is managed in a hierarchical structure. Each context has a root
    node, underneath which the individual data fields (attributes) are stored in a tree structure.
    You create this tree structure according to the structure of your application.
    CONTEXT is generally called as a ROOT Node.
    Each context has nodes and attributes also.
    Cardinatlity
    Each node contains data fields that represent one of the following:
    u2022
    An individual instance of an object type
    u2022
    A table of instances.
    This property of a node is known as its cardinality. The following table summarizes the
    possible cardinalities for a node:
    Cardinality Description
    1:1 The node contains only one element instance, which is instantiated automatically.
    0:1 The node contains only one element instance, which must not be instantiated.
    1:n The node can contain multiple element instances, of which at least one must always be
    instantiated (and is instantiated automatically).
    0:n The node can contain multiple element instances, of which none have to be instantiated.
    Further information about this and other properties of context nodes is available in the section
    Context-Nodes: Properties.
    Recursion Nodes
    Dynamic node nesting is possible within a context, creating what is called a recursion node.
    The node that is used for recursion is always a predecessor of the new node. The newly
    created recursion node is a reference to a predecessor node and therefore cannot be
    processed separately. Instead it takes on the structure of the node to be repeated.
    Data Binding and Mapping
    Within the Web Dynpro architecture, the contexts of the different controllers can be linked in
    different ways:
    u2022
    A UI element of the user interface of the view can be linked with an element of the view
    context.
    u2022
    A mapping can be defined between two global controller contexts, or from a view
    context to a global controller context.
    The context of a global controller can be linked to a Web Dynpro Model.
    Defining Mapping Between Two Contexts
    The elements of a view context can be locally defined. In this case (represented in the graphic
    below as a "Local Node"), all the contained attributes are only visible within the relevant view.
    When the view disappears, the attribute values are deleted.
    Event
    The component controller allows you to create events.
    Events are used to communicate between controllers and enable one controller to trigger
    event handlers in a different controller.
    Cross-component communication can be implemented using the interface controlleru2019s events.
    Events that were created in the component controller are visible within the component only.
    Inbound Plugs
    Inbound plugs in a view also react like an event. Therefore, when a view is called using an
    inbound plug, the event handler that is optionally available for the inbound plug is always
    called first. In this case event handling takes place within the current view controller.
    UI Element Events
    Some UI elements, such as the Button element have special events that are linked with user
    actions. These events are predefined and have to be linked with an action at design time.
    Actions for UI Element Events
    Some UI elements such as the button element can react to a useru2019s interaction: clicking on
    the corresponding pushbutton can trigger a handling method to be called within the view
    controller. Such UI elements are equipped with one or several general events, which can be
    linked with a specific action at design time (switching to a subsequent view, for example). If
    such an action is created, an event handler method for this action is created automatically. In
    this way, you can equip a UI element event (which has been inserted several times into a
    view) with different actions as necessary. The event is then processed by the corresponding
    event handler depending on the action that is linked.
    Interfaces of Web Dynpro Components
    Each component has an interface in order to enable communication between Web Dynpro
    components and to enable a component to be called up by a user. This interface consists of
    two parts:
    Interface View of a Window Contained in a Component
    The interface view of a Web Dynpro window is used to link a window with a Web Dynpro
    application that can be called by the user.

    Can't find the model in the support/drivers download section of the global hp website.
    How do I get the card reader to work? (assuming the unknown device is a card reader)
    This question was solved.

    Hi, getting Could not save the document to the repository for the following reason: [repo_proxy 30] DocumentFacade::uploadBlob - Query execute has failed : Error occurred while attempting to reconnect to CMS : Not a valid logon token.

    I was logged in as administrator and attempting to schedule a webi document to my self using the email option.
    thanks in advance

    Hi Trinath,
    Could you please confirm if you could save a new report as well or not; or is it specific to scheduling.
    If you are unable to save a report also then I think this is due to the path of the Input File Repository Server or its temporary directory are not pointing to the same path, and their locations are set to 2 different hard drives
    BOXI3.1 Server must use the same hard drive (local or network share) for the Input File Repository Server and its temporary directory.

  • OAK3 error message - Specifications for the mean value methods incorrectly

    Hello experts,
    After golive of sap ECC system of our client, when the auditors check the consistency of depreciaion areas in transaction OAK3, the error message is appearing under the depreciation area 01 as "Specifications for the mean value methods incorrectly defined". Can anybody throw some light on how to encounter this error message?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    1) Usually, the reason why the error occurs is that you have no area defined in the chart of depreciation.
    2) Also please check the attached note 847289.     
    3) Please also run OIB5 and check if capitalization version is assigned to depreciation area 01                                            
    If you use capitalization versions it is necessary to have a depreciation area with area type 07 (Cost-acc. valuation) which     
    get the whole amounts.                                                                               
    The depreciation area which takes the values to 100 % must have the following features:                                                 
    => The currency of the depreciation area should have the currency of the controlling area                                          
    => The depreciation area should have the depreciation area type "07 Cost-acc. valuation"                                         
    => The area should not have a capitalization version

  • Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason: The handle is invalid.

    I'm stuck here trying to figure this error out.  
    2003 domain, 2012 hyper v core 3 nodes.  (I have two of these hyper V groups, hvclust2012 is the problem group, hvclust2008 is okay)
    In Failover Cluster Manager I see these errors, "Cluster network name resource 'Cluster Name' failed registration of one or more associated DNS name(s) for the following reason:  The handle is invalid."
    I restarted the host node that was listed in having the error then another node starts showing the errors.
    I tried to follow this site:  http://blog.subvertallmedia.com/2012/12/06/repairing-a-failover-cluster-in-windows-server-2012-live-migration-fails-dns-cluster-name-errors/
    Then this error shows up when doing the repair:  there was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'
    I looked at our domain controller and noticed I don't have access to local users and groups.  I can access our other hvclust2008 (both clusters are same version 2012).

    I came upon this thread:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/85fc2ad5-b0c0-41f0-900e-df1db8625445/windows-2012-cluster-resource-name-fails-dns-registration-evt-1196?forum=winserverClustering
    Now, I'm stuck on adding a managed service account (mas).  I'm not sure if I'm way off track to fix this.  Any advice?  Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Elton,
    I restarted 3 hosts after applying the hotfix.  Then I did the steps below and got stuck on step 5.  That is when I get the error (image above).  There
    was an error repairing the active directory object for 'Cluster Name'.  For more data, see 'Information Details'.
    To reset the password on the affected name resource, perform the following steps:
    From Failover Cluster Manager, locate the name resource.
    Right-click on the resource, and click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, do not restart, and then click OK.
    Right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Simulate Failure.
    When the name resource shows "Failed," right-click on the resource, click More Actions, and then click Repair.
    After the name resource is online, right-click on the resource, and then click Properties.
    On the Policies tab, select If resource fails, attempt restart on current node, and then click OK.

  • 14th May 2013. We placed an order on medIT (Medit Information Technology)for the following items: 6 units of Apple iMAc-All_in-one-1 core i

    14th May 2013.
    We placed an order on medIT (Medit Information Technology) for the following items:
    6 units of Apple iMAc-All_in-one-1 core i5 2.9 GHz-RAM 8GB-HDD 1x1tb-GF GTX 660M- Gigabit LAN-WLAN : 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0-OS x 10.8 Mountain Lion- Monitor : LED 27”wide- keyboard: English.
    We paid to their account; Bank of Cyprus Public Company Limited the full invoice value.
    As of today 14th May 2013 we are still waiting for delivery of the goods despite numerous advices that a partial order of 3 items the order has been shipped.
    We have made numerous follow up calls to medIT directly and through other customers of medIT, but we have no clue as to when we will receive the goods. On 29th April, 2013 they gave us a FEDEX airwaybill no..We regret that we have not been able to trace this airwaybill on the FEDEX system.
    We are, therefore,  pleading for assistance from any support group to link us with the right department so that we can have accurate information on the movement of this parcel.
    These items were ordered for a government department of the Republic of Zambia and this non-delivery is creating a bad name for Apple Resellers covering Zambian market. The project upgrade of the project is now falling behind due to non-delivery on our part arising from the non-performance on the part of medIT.
    We can make available for inspection copies of the order and remittance details to the appropriate office for review and ready reference.
    We can be contacted directly on “James A. Ngoma”
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    If you ordered from MedIT in Cyprus, they do not appear to be an authorized Apple reseller. If they are indeed not authorized by Apple, there will be nothing Apple will be able to do to assist you in this matter. You will need to work the problem out with MedIT, obtaining legal assistance in Cyprus if necessary.

    com.businessobjects.rebean.wi.ServerException: Could not save the document to the repository for the following reason: [repo_proxy 30] InfoStore::ObjectExport::commit

    Can you please help us understand the reason why the child.runstatustimertask.run() is called in the case where we get the failure. Because upon noticing the difference in the steps of execution I see that this method is called and after that the failure is occuring.
    Also, few other findings are that :
    1. The error occurs from both the nodes adaptive job servers randomly.
    2. The IFRS and OFRS of one of the node is not being used at all for any file transfers (though the configurations are exactly same).
    Please advise and help us get rid of the said error.
    Can u give any permanent solution for us

    Does anyone have a cure for the following error running on Windows, "The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be found located in the dynamic link library SQLite.dll.

    I have searched my computer for that file SQlite3.dll and also file QTCF.dll and I cannot find either one when I search my whole computer for it.  I cannot fix this!  I deleted Itunes and every time I try to download it, it goes through all this download till the end when it says that iTunes.exe-entry point now found and that Procedure entry point message comes up.  HELP!  This is driving me crazy.  How can I get itunes to work again when I can't find the danged .dll file to remove, move or rename!?!?!??

  • Optimal iMac GPU Specifications

    It seems clear from the chatter on several Apple-related forums that the Aperture software takes advantage of the GPU, not the CPU. If that is true, when I buy a new iMac, should I pay the extra $200 to get the 780m GPU with 4mb of video RAM? Or will
