Host with dvSwitch migration

Hi, I have 25 ESX hosts running 5.1 U3 and I need to migrate them to the new 5.5 vcenter server but experiencing "proxy" related errors and I believe they are relating to me not being able to migrate esxi hosts configured with dvswitches.
Has anyone been able to migrate hosts configured with dvswitches between vcenter?

To migrate your hosts that uses VDS to a new vCenter, you should follow the steps docummented here: VMware KB: Moving an ESX/ESXi host with vDS from one vCenter Server to another

Rebooted esxi host with 1000v will not power on

I rebooted my esxi host with the 1000v on it. after the host came back up, the vm did not power on and now I cannot access the host. when i try to power on the vm on the host via kvm. It fails to power on.
any idea on this?

Tony,
What error message do you get when trying to power on the VSM?
Have you tried connecting to the host directly with the VI Client?
You may need to do a vSwitch Networking recovery from the console of the ESX host. Sounds like it wasn't setup correctly initially. Once restored to the standard vSwitch, you can re-migrate it back to the DVS.

How to configure one TREX host with multiple index servers ?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to configure TREX on the one host,
with multiple index servers ?
Reason for this is to make better use of resources available on the host server(4 Gig, 4 Processor, Windows2003), to improve the search performance of
our KM content for portal users.
I am using TREX 7 and have not been able to do this,
despite reading the Single and Distributed install
documentation.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Andres

Hi Andres,
To make use of the RAM a Server provides you have to run two indexserver processes (each can then consume 2 GB);
Proceed like this:
1. Go to TREXdeamon.ini; check if section [indexserver2] is there (it is already provided, but not active in standard installation)
2. In TREXdeamon.ini go to
[daemon]
references sections below
programs=nameserver,preprocessor1,indexserver1,queueserver,alertserver
and add indexserver2 here. Restart TREX; second porcess is then started; can be checked in TREX monitor in Portal as well
3. To distribute existing indexes to the new process, start TREXadmintool and go to Index: Landscape
Go to the last two columns and move the indexes (move master here/secondary mouse click)
If you don't distribute the indexes the new index server process will be regarded when an new index is created.
Hope this helps!
cheers

I can't install Windows 7 key over KMS host with WS 2012 R2

Hi
I have a KMS Host with Windows Server 2012 R2. I don't have problems installing keys for Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Office 2013, Windows Server 2012 R2. However, when I tried install keys for Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2 and Windows 2008, I have the next message:

For a KMShost with the OS=WS2012R2, you cannot, and, there is no need to, install any other Windows KMShost keys. The WS2012R2 KMShost key, by itself, will activate the KMShost OS, and will also enable the issuing of activations for ALL Windows KMSclients.
Office KMS features are different, and do need to be installed for Office KMSclient activations.
The error you are experiencing is expected, and is a result of your attempt to perform an unnecessary configuration step.

How to confiture virtual hosts with multiple domain names

hello,
I've read through some of the postings here on virtual hosts, but I thought I'd better solicit advice before I actually try some of the things I've read about.
In a nutshell, I've purchased multiple domain names that I'd like to alias to a new site (currently it is just a subfolder in the main site directory) on my OS 10.3.x server. There is only the one main site configured right now on the box, so I know I need to set up a second "virtual site" pointing to the files in this subfolder to make it function as its own site.
I've dabbled around with the sites settings in the GUI, but I'd probably be most comfortable setting all this up in the httpd.conf by hand if I could. But I'm weary of this because I know it might be better to use the GUI because of OS X Server's flavor of WebObjects and Apache (sigh).
So, I have two main questions:
1) How would I set up this second site using the GUI in server settings? Do I need to first move the subfolder out of the main folder before it can be designated its own site? Or can I just point to it in the GUI? Can I use one of my purchased domain names in the domain field?
2) Currently, I have URL Forwarding set with my multiple domain names, but I'm thinking there might be a better way to do this? For SEO I'd rather use some type of redirect rather than being penalized by search engines for having what looks to be multiple domains pointing to the same site.I'm thinking I should create virtual sites for each domain name I've purchased with a hard redirect back to the main site?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

thank you for your reply.
> You can create each site as a new Site in Server
Admin. When you do this you can choose any
directory on disk as the document root for each
site.This means you can move the sites' folders out of
/Library/WebServer/Documents if you like - you could
create /Library/WebServer/site1,
/Library/WebServer/site2, etc. (or even be outside of
/Library/WebServer if you want).
so, are you are saying that I could designate one site to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1
and another to be
/Library/WebServer/Documents/site1/directory1
even though directory1 is contained within site1's structure? I'm not advancing this as a good idea, necessarily. I'm just wondering if Apache would complain.
> Each site should have the domain name set as per your
registered domains. Apache will need this to
determine the correct site to serve for each
request.
Well, after some additional research I'm thinking I'm missing a critical piece of the puzzle. That being access to the DNS host server that manages the context of my server. I have purchased domain names through an outside registrar that point to my site and I can create virtual hosts on my server, but I don't have the ability to add the new virtual host names into the DNS server that manages my box. If that makes sense. Or maybe I'm missing something?
>
I'm not sure why you're using URL forwarding at all.
Without that piece of information it's impossible to
tell you whether you should continue using them or
not - in general there's no need to use URL
forwarding if you have multiple Virtual Hosts setup,
but it sounds like you have multiple hostnames
pointing to the same content, so your needs may be
different.
I'm using forwarding for the reason I list above. I didn't purchase hosting with the registrar where I purchased my domain names, so they are parked on the registrar's name server with URL forwarding to my server. The DNS server that manages my box resides in a different location and I don't have the ability to add DNS entries pointing to virtual hosts that I want to set up. Am I stuck?

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites?

I have created a Muse site for a client that wishes to host with Business Catalyst. How do I publish the site with their account rather than using one of my free sites? This is so I can keep my free ones for personal projects but also so they can pay for their own hosting. I am happy to set it all up for them but not sure what to do.

Hi
You can use their BC login details and use them , which on publish the site will be under their account.
Please change the BC login from Edit > Preferences > Publish > Switch Accounts , for Mac it would Adobe Muse > Preferences

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?

If I host with Business Catalyst, will search engines fine me any "better" or Worse than go daddy?
I am new to Muse and love it! Not sure if the hosting site matters one way or the other.

Liam has some great points. Some other things to consider is that google (just talking one search engine at the moment) more than likely know what a BC site looks like and is made of and would know the best ways to index it assuming you use some of the features of BC and not just straight up HTML.
Godaddy is straight up HTML so as far as indexing goes I think BC has an advantage as it is a known system much like wordpress.
As far as IP blocks, bad neighbours, etc only google will know that information and it's not easy to say which is better.
For example if someone on BC spam's there website everywhere or engages in dodgy SEO practises, spambots etc. Their site is going to be pushed down, if you happen to be on the same IP or close to that site you will be in a "bad neighbourhood" and it may affect your site in the short term. This is the case for ANY hosting solution, so take it all with a gain of salt.

Hosting with Business Catalyst for cli

I currently use Adobe Muse to build websites, I love it it allows me to build and create the type of sites my clients desire. So with that in mind I need the following advice:
1) One of my clients wants to host with a separate company NOT BC. How easy will it be for the client to use in-browser editing, or can she even edit at all? I know it's a simple process with BC as you can use the admin Dashboard, but I need to let my client know as soon as possible her position with self editing once published.
2) another client would be happy to BC but I need to know how to set up an account with BC for them. What the cost of this would be? I am not looking to mark-up the cost. I know I could use one of my five sites and invoice them monthly for the cost (I am a CC member) but I would like to keep those for other projects.

Your client will need to use some kind of HTML editor. Many hosting companies offer some kind of basic editor, but not the same in-browser WYSIWYG-style editor as your MUSE site. Some of your BC server-side functions may not work as they may be unique to BC, such as forms (though you can edit or redo these to work with other services).
A word of caution. I moved a client site from one hosted solution to another (as the client thought it would be cheaper), and the exercise turned into a costly mission adapting the site to work with a completely new editor and server-side functions.

Errors with 10g Migration: WUC-24 and FileFunctions bean

I'm experiencing a couple issues with my Migration to 10g (9.0.4) from 6i Forms. Through much searching to find resolutions, I have been unsuccessful.
I have two errors that I am unable to get rid of.
1) oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found. CLIENT_TEXT_IO.fopen will not work
- I wondered if there was a DB permissions issue with the WEBUTIL_DB package related to this perhaps? I included the package to my DB but perhaps something is incorrect w/ that causing the error.
2) WUC-24: Error reading URL
http://myserver.com:7777/forms90/webutil/jacob.dll
/JNIsharedstubs.dll
/d2kwut60.dll
- problem loading from forms90/webutil perhaps? I tried to download a test.html page from this location but was unsuccessful.
Another thought I had was that maybe I have an issue w/ my formsweb.cfg configuration. The webutil configuration is as follows:
[webutil]
form=myform.fmx
webUtilArchive=f90webutil.jar,jacob.jar
WebUtilLogging=off
WebUtilLoggingDetail=normal
WebUtilErrorMode=Alert
WebUtilDispatchMonitorInterval=5
WebUtilTrustInternal=true
WebUtilMaxTransferSize=16384
baseHTMLjinitiator=webutiljini.htm
baseHTMLjpi=webutiljpi.htm
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar
archive=f90all.jar
lookAndFeel=oracle
Also, what about this parm?
webUtilConfig=/forms90/server/webutil.cfg
Do I need it included as well? Got the same result w/ it.
Thanks, Phil

You said:
...problem when i open form on client side then i get following errors, but when i work on local machine where my forms server is installed ... However, the error shows that you are using port 8889. This suggests you are using Developer Suite and not application server (unless you've changed the ports). Developer Suite is not intended for remote access, nor is it intended for multiple user access. Although it can be made to work in this manner, it is not supported. Deployment should be configured using Application Server
So, if the above is not true and you are in fact using Application Server, the consider the following:
1. Can you access the libraries if you attempt to locate them manually using your browser. Open a browser from a client machine and enter a url such as:
http://domainname:8889/forms/webutil/ffisamp.dll
You should be presented with a "Save" / "Open" file dialog box. If not, then the issue is related to the fact that either the client cannot communicate with the server (e.g. firewall, incorrect address, etc) or the server is not responding or the file requested is not found on the server.
2. If the client machine is Vista, Win7, or Win2008, by default, Windows will not permit the files to be written into the "Program Files" directory. In this case, refer to MyOracleSupport Note 783937.1 ; This note will explain how to change the destination directory of where the libraries will be stored on the client.

Creating a DNS Record for a Host with Two or More IP???

Can we create DNS A Record for a Host with Two or More IP ... ( we like to use my website "mysite.com" pointing to two Ips )
Please help...

Sure, no worries.
In a production environment DNS will query always the first record it will stores in cache, you need to find a dynamic or NLB way to achieve the automatic fail over else when you will have an outage with the first IP, then you need to ask your clients to
clear the cache and register to DNS again, this i will not suggest in a production environment, lots of manual efforts and doesnt sound like a solution in a production environment, i would suggest you to explore windows NLB, it's easy to set and use the OS
license.
Thanks

Keeping Domain Name Email Address After Hosting With MobileMe

Hi,
I am looking for any advice with regard to my website, which I now host with MobileMe. Prior to the transfer I had a Domain specific email address, which I now can no longer use. I receive the emails, but when it comes to answering, I can only answer as my .Mac account name.
Can anyone help, as my previous Domain holder wants about US$100/year to maintain this facility?
Cheers,

Whether you get e-mails from the type of [email protected] or not depends on your domain registrar.
What you're paying now is also the hosting which is needed to have real mailboxes.
Usually at domain registrars you get MailForwards which means that I send e-mails at [email protected] which forwards e-mails to another address like [email protected] and you can set [email protected] to be forwarded to another e-mail (if you want). So basically MailForwards aren't real e-mails themselves. You can also set *@yourdomain.com so all e-mails sent to no matter which e-mail @yourdomain.com gets sent to [email protected] (no matter what people put in front of the @yourdomain.com).
The problem is that if you set up CNAME for your domain usually E-Mail gets broken. But there’s a trick to avoid that (pointed out to by Earl and originally posted by Seanomich on the Apple Discussion Forums). Mainly that’s it:
1. www.yourdomain.com is different from yourdomain.com
2. Domain registrars handle them as completely different
3. The trick is to set up CNAME for www.yourdomain.com (as of Chapter 2 of this page)
4. For yourdomain.com set up a WebForward instead (as of Chapter 1 of this page) pointing it to www.yourdomain.com
5. Now yourdomain.com is free to be used for e-mails
If your domain registrar doesn't provide this feature (MailForwards without having to pay the hosting) you could manage your domain using ZoneEdit (which is free) and you will get MailForward e-mails.
You will then also be able to send e-mails from [email protected]. All you need to do is write [email protected] in the Preferences of the Mail application where it says E-mail (same on the iPhone). In addition to that if you use a gmail address as real address behind the [email protected] MailForward you will also be able to send e-mails from the web as [email protected] since it allows to apply aliases.
Bottom line: you can have e-mails like you want
If MailForward isn’t enough for you, you probably need a hosting package (other than MobileMe) along with your domain and that's where you have to pay the 100$ a year...
Regards,
Cédric

IWeb hosting with GoDaddy

After messing with GoDaddy's hosting options a bit, I got my iWeb site hosted with the "www" prefix, but I can't for some reason get my site hosted without that prefix. You have to type"www" before the address every time in order to see the site, otherwise it just shows a parked page.
See for yourself:
http://www.usborneartistry.com - should work.
http://usborneartistry.com - never works.
Any help?

Your domainname is usborneartistry.com
Your subdomain is www.usborneartistry.com
That's the one you use for MMe.
All other (sub)domains point to somewhere else.
