Hyper-V 2012 R2 best configuration with Two network ports

Hi Team,
I have to design Six Windows 2012 R2 Hyper-v Cluster . Each Host is carrying Two network Ports of 1 GBPS.
10 to 12 Vlan will be configured across virtual machine on all six host.
please let me know how best i can utilize two network port to achive redundancy and speed and network isolation.
can i team two network ports into single team and than single virtual switch will carry for MGMT,Heartbeat and 10-12 VLAn traffic. is there any downside of it since i am merging all traffics on single tea.
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Hi,
If you are using the iSCSI share storage in a Failover Cluster will need 5 or more NICs:

Is it possible that Exchange UM could be configure with two call managers over the same sip?

Hi,
I have Cisco call manager 8.2 integrated with Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Unified Messaging.
Call manager has primary and secondary server. I created a sip trunk and linked primary CUCM with Exchange. Users can leave and get voice mails.
Problem: In case that primary server is down (WAN is down) the users registered on secondary server but they cannot contact to Exchange Unified Messaging.
I added new UM Dial Plan with the same pilot and associated it to the secondary CUCM server. UM answered but do not recognize the extension number "is not a valid mailbox extension".
Is it possible that Exchange UM could be configure with two call managers over the same sip, the same pilot number, different associated UM servers and get access to the same voice mail boxes?
If not:
Does exist a way to configure Exchange UM that will work if one CUCM server is down?
Thank you,
Peter

Server 2003 with two network cards problems

We have a win server 2003 with two network cards. From the server we connect using a vpn client from cisco to another server. When we do that we can NOT RDC to our server because it inherits the remote IP from the vpn connection. We installed an additional NIC. We gave an static IP to connect to our local network. How can we or is there a way to tell the vpn client to use one nic card and leave the other so we can RDC to it? thanks

It is possible to configure server to use on nic for incoming and other for outgoing, but it is not possible when vpn client is running. Also it cannot be specified as to which card to use.

Will the current iMac with two Thunderbolt ports support up to 12 devices (6 per port) or just 6 total?

Hyper V 2012 Backup - best practice

I'm setting up a new Hyper-V server 2012 and I'm trying to understand how to best configure it for backups and restores using
Windows Server Backup. I´ve 5 VMs running, everyone has their one iScsi drive.
I would like to backup the VMs on a external usb disk. I´ve the choice to backup the Hyper-V using child partition snapshot or to backup the vm folder with the config and the vhd files (is is right, that Windows override the old backup ?)
What´s the difference between the two methods ? Is incremental back possible with vm´s ?
thanks

Hi,
There are two basic methods you can use to perform a backup. You can:
Perform a backup from the server running Hyper-V.
We recommend that you use this method to perform a full server backup because it captures more data than the other method. If the backup application is compatible with Hyper-V and the Hyper-V VSS writer, you can perform a full server backup that helps protect
all of the data required to fully restore the server, except the virtual networks. The data included in such a backup includes the configuration of virtual machines, snapshots associated with the virtual machines, and virtual hard disks used by the virtual
machines. As a result, using this method can make it easier to recover the server if you need to, because you do not have to recreate virtual machines or reinstall Hyper-V.
Perform a backup from within the guest operating system of a virtual machine.
Use this method when you need to back up data from storage that is not supported by the Hyper-V VSS writer. When you use this method, you run a backup application from the guest operating system of the virtual machine. If you need to use this method, you
should use it in addition to a full server backup and not as an alternative to a full server backup. Perform a backup from within the guest operating system before you perform a full backup of the server running Hyper-V.
iSCSI-based storage is supported for backup by the Hyper-V VSS writer when the storage is connected through the management operating system and the storage is used for virtual hard disks.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 Remote Management with Windows 8.1 using Microsoft Account (Workgroup)

Hello,
I've set up a Hyper-V 2012 R2 Server and tried to manage it from a Windows 8.1 with a Microsoft Account. Everything is in the same workgroup. After many searches, the only way is set up the server for remote access, install RSAT and log on with an Administrator
account from the server in Server Manager console.
So, this situation generates a question: since it's impossible to set up a Microsoft Account in Hyper-V server as a local user, it's impossible to use "the same account and password" way to establish a link between server and desktop? I must use
a remote account for connection? Why Windows 8.1 local account and online account can't be merged as a single account?
By the way, there are some consoles that cmdkey doesn't work, so it's not an option.
Best regards.

I have not fully tried this myself but I know this:
A microsoft account can only be added to Server as a User, and only after Desktop Experience has been added. This is also how you enable the MSFT Store on Server.
This also requires a Full install of Server and is not possible on the free Hyper-V Server SKU.
But, the legacy Server Manager console that Hyper-V Manager is built on has no concept of this new user account type. And neither does Kerberos (the default security mechanism).
So, my guess is that the best you can do is treat it the same as any workgroup machines.
If you use Azure AD and sync your domain credentials, you have the password equivalent. But you still require some AD in the middle. This is simply the current state of affairs.

3 Node hyper-V 2012 R2 Failover Clustering with Storage spaces on one of the Hyper-V hosts

Hi,
We have 3x Dell R720s with 5x 600GB 3.5 15K SAS and 128 GB RAM each. Was wondering if I could setup a Fail-over Hyper-V 2012 R2 Clustering with these 3 with the shared storage for the CSV being provided by one of the Hyper-V hosts with storage spaces installed
(Is storage spaces supported on Hyper-V?) Or I can use a 2-Node Failover clustering and the third one as a standalone Hyper-V or Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V and storage spaces.
Each Server comes with QP 1G and a DP10G nics so that I can dedicate the 10G nics for iSCSI
Dont have a SAN or a 10G switch so it would be a crossover cable connection between the servers.
Most of the VMs would be Non-HA. Exchange 2010, Sharepoint 2010 and SQL Server 2008 R2 would be the only VMS running as HA-VMs. CSV for the Hyper-V Failover cluster would be provided by the storage spaces.

I thought I was tying to do just that with 8x600 GB RAID-10 using the H/W RAID controller (on the 3rd Server) and creating CSVs out of that space so as to provide better storage performance for the HA-VMs.
1. Storage Server : 8x 600GB RAID-10 (For CSVs to house all HA-VMs running on the other 2 Servers) It may also run some local VMs that have very little disk I/O
2. Hyper-V-1 : Will act has primary HYPER-V hopst for 2x Exchange and Database Server HA-VMs (the VMDXs would be stored on the Storage Servers CSVs on top of the 8x600GB RAID-10). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
3. Hyper-V-2 : Will act as a Hyper-V host when the above HA-VMs fail-over to this one (when HYPER-V-1 is down for any reason). May also run some non-HA VMs using the local 2x600 GB in RAID-1
The single point of failure for the HA-VMs (non HA-VMs are non-HA so its OK if they are down for some time) is the Storage Server. The Exchange servers here are DAG peers to the Exchange Servers at the head office so in case the storage server mainboard
goes down (disk failure is mitigated using RAID, other components such as RAM, mainboard may still go but their % failure is relatively low) the local exchange servers would be down but exchange clients will still be able to do their email related tasks using
the HO Exchange servers.
Also they are under 4hr mission critical support including entire server replacement within the 4 hour period.
If you're OK with your shared storage being a single point of failure then sure you can proceed the way you've listed. However you'll still route all VM-related I/O over Ethernet which is obviously slower then running VMs from DAS (with or without virtual SAN
LUN-to-LUN replication layer) as DAS has higher bandwidth and smaller latency. Also with your scenario you exclude one host from your hypervisor cluster so running VMs on a pair of hosts instead of three would give you much worse performance and resilience:
with 1 from 3 physical hosts lost cluster would be still operable and with 1 from 2 lost all VMs booted on a single node could give you inadequate performance. So make sure your hosts would be insanely underprovisioned as every single node should be able to
handle ALL workload in case of disaster. Good luck and happy clustering :)

JMS Foregin server configuration with two Weblogic 8.1 AS

Hi,
I have two Weblogic8.1 AS. Box 1 is configured with JMS connection factory and Topic. MDB is deployed on Box 2, which is configured to listen to Box1 JMS Topic. I am running session bean which is publishing JMS message to the Topic on Box1. Also, I have configured JMS foreign Server on Box2 pointing to Box1 connection factory and Topic.
MDB throws error "Destination not found", while deploying. I read somewhere in the net, that We need Weblogic with Clustering licence for configuring Foreign JMS Server.
Pls. help me.

Problem with two ethernet ports?

There is little consistency to this, but I'm wondering if anyone else has a similar problem. I upgraded to 10.6 on my Mac Pro. I have two ethernet connections which run concurrently in my network setup - one internally addressed, using a manual IP with DHCP, the other an external address with a static IP. On an inconsistent basis, opening pages in Safari will result in failures because I am apparently not connected to the internet, despite the fact that I am - Mail continues to work fine, server connections remain, etc., etc. The only way to get Safari to work again is to disable one of the ethernet ports. Reenabling it after I have successfully made a Safari connection does not then break the connection again - it keeps running for quite a while. The problem seems to become more apparent when I open a selected group of links into tabs - some will be successful, most will fail. Ideas?

Snoop Dogg thanks for the reply.
Port ONE was set to auto DNS. I did exactly as you suggested, I even tried a to do a manual ip address, etc but no luck. What finally worked is, I moved the port one cable to port two (which was empty) and bingo it worked.
It seems that snow leopard may have some issues with dual ethernet port machines, but why port two worked and port one didn't is beyond me. I will try to reverse it back to port one and see what happens. Fortunately I don't need two port at this point.
Cheers, Terry.

Single Nexus 5548UP- FCoE configuration with multiple server ports

Hello Everyone,
I am new to Networking so please bear with me.
Here is some background information. We have a SINGLE Nexus 5548 UP switch to which we are connecting both the storage and the UCS C240 M3 servers (with CNA). Both the storage and server has 2 ports each going to this nexus switch.

Fixed the issue. "switchport trunk native vlan 6" was causing the issue. Maybe the storage and Servers were not configured with proper VLAN's. I removed the native vlan and everything logged in fine.
Any how I have configured a single zone with all 3 servers pWWN's. I know single initiator zoning is the way to go.
Can you please guide me if I can move these servers in their separate zones without any outages? If it helps, all severs have 2 pWWN's. The current zoneset is active with that single zone.
Please let me know if you need any additional details.

Windows sharing with two network cards

Hello,
I am running OSX 10.4.11 and enables Windows file service.
I have two network cards. one is public (due to the web server) and one is private (192.x.x.x).
Is there a way to make only the 192.x.x.x accessible via the Windows file services? I don't want anyone that is a local user to be able to get to any of the shared folders via the public address. Like if they were at home or something.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Jay

Hello Jay,
Your question does make sense!
And in fact Samba (the software that delivers the Windows file service on a Mac) has configuration options to do just what you want. That's the good news. The bad news is that I don't know a way to set those configuration options from the GUI. If you are confident to use a terminal and edit configuration files by hand then you should be able to establish the Windows file service running on just one interface.
First you need to find out the real name of the interface on which the Windows file service should run. One way is to look under Apple\About this Mac\Network or in a terminal enter:
ifconfig
My Mac Mini has en0 (wired) and en1 (airport) as network interfaces. Suppose en1 is the interface on which file sharing is wanted (you should replace en1 in my example by the name of your network interface!)
Next edit the file /etc/smb.conf in a terminal by:
sudo nano /etc/smb.conf
In the [global] section add the following lines:
interfaces = en1
bind interfaces only = true
Save your edits by pressing Ctrl-O and exit the editor by pressing Ctrl-X
After restarting you can check if it works as expected.
Good luck,
Max

Can Appletalk be active on two network ports for printing?

Here's the core of my question: Can I keep Appletalk active on my Airport network port (in order to print to a wireless print server on an HP Laserjet 2100M) and simultaneously keep it active on my Ethernet port (in order to print to a Brother HL 2700CN networked through my router)?
Nothing I have read gives me to believe I can have Appletalk active on more than one network port. If that is the case, my second question would be:
I there some other way to print to either printer on the network without having to turn off Appletalk manually on the ports not being used?
Here's the configuration I'm facing
G4 Quicksilver 10.3.9
HP Laserjet 2100M with wireless Belkin DP-311P print server
Brother HL-2700CN wired to Belkin Wireless-G router
I would appreciate any help on this, even if it's the simple response, "No, you can't print to both without manually de/activating Appletalk."

for file sharing between computers running 10.4.x and 10.3.x.
actually, not for that either. 10.4 has dropped support for AppleTalk-only File Sharing to make way for Intel Macs and their protocols. 10.4 does still support AppleTalk printing.
AppleTalk would be required to print to older Apple LaserWriters that do not support LPD/LPR printing. In all but two cases, the printers have no Ethernet port, so a Bridge device or software would be required:
Personal LaserWriter NTR
Personal LaserWriter 320
LaserWriter Select 310
LaserWriter Select 360
LaserWriter 4/600 PS
LaserWriter IIf
LaserWriter IIg (Ethernet)
LaserWriter Pro 600
LaserWriter Pro 630 (Ethernet)
Some third-party wireless Access points do not pass AppleTalk packets at all, and cannot be used to print to that class of older LaserWriters.
In 10.3.9 and previous, AppleTalk may still be used for File Sharing with older Macs.

Best hard drive configuration with two drives

Hello,
I am considering adding a second hard drive to my blue and white g3. It currently has the original Quantum 12GB Ultra ATA/33 hard disk (ATA 33 is capable of about 33 MB/s).
I would install a FirmTek SeriTek/1S2 card (2 Internal SATA Ports) and then I would add a 160 GIG or a 250 GIG Maxtor hard drive. The hard drive would probably be a Maxtor DiamondMax 10, or a Maxtor MaXLine III. I will also consider the Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 as well. I think all these drives are 7200RPM.
The final result will be that my G3 will have two hard drives, the original 12GB Ultra ATA/33 and also a 160 GIG 7200RPM drive.
What is the best way for me to manage my data with this setup?
What exactly is a "boot volume" or a "boot drive"? Are there boot volume strategies than enable your computer to be faster and more efficient? Do I need a boot volume and if so, on which drive should I create a boot volume?
I am currently using OS9 however I will be moving to OS10.1.5 soon and then perhaps to OS 10.4 panther later.
Should I put the OS on the original 12GB Ultra ATA/33 or on the new 160 GIG 7200RPM drive?
How about the applications? Which drive should they be stored on?
My main programs are the Adobe Creative Suite programs (Photoshop and Illustrator) as well as Macromedia Dreamweaver.
If my OS and apps are more than 12 GIGS and they are unable to fit on the 12GIG drive together, should I put the OS and apps on the larger 160 GIG drive and not use the 12GIG drive at all? Or does it make more sense to use the 12 GIG drive for just the OS and then the 160GIG drive for the apps and everything else (such as my stock photo collection)? Should I partition the 160 GIG drive?
Thank you for any advice.
PS Does any one know of a place to buy a SATA drive such as a Maxtor MaXLine III for a good price? Are Maxtor DiamondMax 10 as reliable as Maxtor MaXLine III? Is Maxtor MaXLine III worth the cost difference? Or would anyone recommend any other good brand of a hard drive? I will need about 160 GIGs or maybe 250. Thank you.

...Should I partition the 250 GIG drive as mentioned in my original post (system and apps in one partition and data in another all on the same drive)? Or is it OK to leave it as one large volume?...
Partitioning the drive "half-and-half" would probably be a good idea.
...What utility should I use to partition it if I decide to partition?...
Disk Utility can do that, just make sure to do the partitioning when you first install the drive.
... I will also need a good ATA card that will work with both OS9 and OS10- any recommendations?...
I have one of these and it has been working well.
It is $60, which is the lowest price I know of for a Mac card.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16816123110
...could anyone recommend a good ATA 250 GIG hard drive (PATA - not SATA) for the purpose of graphic design applications (photoshop and illustrator)?...
Any name brand drive should be fine (Seagate, Western Digital, Maxtor, etc.).
Stay away from PC-branded drives though (Dell, etc.),
some don't work on Macs.
Some drives in the 250GB size range have 16MB of cache, that and 7200RPM would have the best performance, but might be overkill considering the PCI speed bug (it wouldn't hurt though).
Note: Most regular ATA cards are 33MHz only.

Hyper-V 2012 R2 new VM with ISO in DVD boot failed - default SCSI not IDE

Hi, have created some VMs fine on 2008R2 and 2012 Hyper-V but now onto 2012 R2, am using the Gen 2 VM and hitting install error when booting them from the 2012R2 RTM .ISO (downloaded straight from Technet) loaded into virtual DVD:
I see from http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/53f901e4-5bd0-4e13-80a2-bca2f57b15e9/hyperv-unable-to-boot-from-cd-or-iso-in-vm-machine?forum=winserverhyperv that Hyper-V seems unable to boot from a synthetic SCSI until guest OS actually
installed - so Catch-22! But I can't add an IDE Controller because it's not on the list:
I tried the Integration Services and it seems fine on the Settings (including ticking the only one unticked - Guest Services) although if you need to run them from the DVD, it has the same problem - you can see them loaded (or the Win2012R2 ISO) in the DVD
Media but you can't make them run through booting on SCSI!
The physical drives are SATA not SCSI but presumably no matter as Hyper-V runs SCSI virtually, but why does Hyper-V default to SCSI and how do I get the DVD to run off an IDE instead if that is the way to install a base OS from .ISO? Or is there an easier
way than all this?
TIA, Phil.

I found this article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/jhoward/archive/2013/11/11/hyper-v-generation-2-virtual-machines-part-9.aspx
I hope this help.
"...yes, we’re acutely aware that the generation 2 EFI boot loader messages persist on the screen and it can be a little confusing. Essentially what the generation 2 virtual machine did was:
Attempt to boot from the CD SCSI device containing the Windows 8 ISO. This is where the ‘Press any key…’ message came from. As no key was pressed, we went to the next boot entry. (And this is where we didn’t clear the message from the EFI CD boot loader)
I didn’t press F12 (in fact, this VM wasn’t connected to a network), so network boot failed
The SCSI VHDX is raw with no partitioning or file system, so this too failed
So why did the generation 1 virtual machine start setup from the Windows media? The answer is simply that it’s the way Windows media is built, and it’s inconsistent between the PCAT and EFI loaders.
However, it’s relatively simple to solve if you want to avoid the press any key message. In fact, we almost have all the pieces from previous parts. In particular, part 4 where we injected keyboard drivers into the Windows 8 media.
If you loopback mount Windows 8 or 8.1 RTM media, and navigate to the \efi\microsoft\boot directory, you will see there are two versions of cdboot.efi
The default version, cdboot.efi prompts for a keypress. The unused version, cdboot_noprompt.efi doesn’t prompt.
So it’s fairly simple to create modified media which uses the noprompt version. First, copy the contents of the ISO to a working directory, rename cdboot.efi to cdboot_prompt.efi, and rename cdboot_noprompt.efi to cdboot.efi.
Do the same with efisys.bin and efisys_prompt.bin
Then re-use our oscdimg command (in an elevated deployment and imaging tools environment) from part 4 to recreate the media.
