Installing SMD in a MS Clustered environment

Can anyone advise me or point out documentation for installing the 7.11 Diagnostics agent in a Microsoft Clustered environment.
Specifically, will I need to install the SMD on each node of the MS cluster or just to the shared Cluster Group?
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
You may please refer the Diagnostics Agent Setup Guide - 7.11 which is available at service.sap.com/diagnostics--Media Library. You need to install the agent in each physical host as recommended in the guide.

Error when calling BPEL from ESB in clustered environment

Hi
We have recently installed SOA Suite in a clustered environment and have a serious issue.
I am not able to call BPEL processes from my ESB services via WSIF (by using the 'browse target operation' in JDeveloper). The exception i get at runtime is this.
"javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: ejb/collaxa/system/DeliveryBean not found"
When I instead call the BPEL process via SOAP (by using a SOAP invocation service i JDeveloper) it works fine.
Everything works fine in development environment which not are clustered.
Has anyone any excperience from using ESB in a clustered environment?
Regards
Kalle Viklund

Hi
ESB and BPEL resides in the same oc4j-instance. Though, esb-rt and orabpel are different applications in that oc4j-instance. And the lookup 'ejb/collaxa/system/DeliveryBean' only exists in the orabpel application.
In the ESB Console I already have the same setting for the 'BPELSystem' as for the 'Defaultsystem'.
Cluster name: esb_prod
Virtual host: prod1.sth.nu
Port: 80

Procedure to Install support packs on Clustering Environment.....!

Hi,
Can some please provide information (or ) documentation regarding the support packs installaton / Upgradation on Clustering Environment.
We are running on ECC 6.0 + Windows -2003,SP2.
I never done suport packs on clustering as we are planning for upgrade soon for one client.so i'm just loking for information like to gather information like pre-requisites,instructions and post upgradation activites and known problems etc.... I Would highly appriciated any assitance.
Many Thanks,

Upgrade 10G to 11.1.1.5 in Clustered environment

I successfully ran the upgrade assistant on a single server install. Both RPD and Catalog upgraded with no issues. I scaled out to a 2 node cluster and attempted the upgrade with the assistant again. This time it fails. Here is log entries:

Question….can you use upgrade assistant in clustered environment?
Thanks!

You can only use the upgrade assistant to upgrade to a single instance Oracle BI 11g server. Typically this is a sandbox server environment or a VM that can simply be wiped clean after the upgrade. Then move the RPD,WebCat, etc. and AppRoles that get created during the upgrade process to a development server. The UA is looking for a single instance installation environment and that environment should be clean/fresh to avoid confusion and conflicts.

File Protocol in OSB Clustered Environment

Hi ,
I have a OSB Server in a Clustered Environment ....
Here Admin Server is in Machine1
Managed Server1 is in Machine 2
Managed Server2 is in Machine 3
so both the Managed Servers are put in a Cluster
I have Access to Machine1 Unix Box where the Admin Server is Installed ...I can get the File only in this Location and have to Read the Same from here , So i was planning to Use File Protocol for Polling the Message from Admin Server .Since OSB has option for Selecting only the Managed Server , I would request suggestions how i can Read the Data from this Admin Server by using File Protocol .

have you used "service type" as "Messaging Service" ? that should give you all the options you need

File resources in clustered environment

          I understand that resource on file system cannot be clustered.
          We have an application packaged as an ear file but unfortunately we get the properties
          files from the file system. We usually copy these resources while installing our
          application.
          Now we are trying to deploy our application in a clustered environment and when
          all my servers in the clcuster r on the same machine everything worked fine. Now
          I created another server on a different machine.
          The ear file file got transfered fine but the application is not able to find
          the properties since the resource file are not copied over to that machine. I
          know this is an expected behaviour but my question is: Is there anyway workaround
          to avoid thsi problem. For example, can we tell weblogic to take care of copying
          these resources along with the whole application
          (ear file).
          Praveen


I don't think that there is any standard way of doing this.
          Even if you do convince WebLogic to do so, it will be a
          WebLogic-specific hack...
          Don't suppose you can use a shared directory?
          Or perhaps you can just use external-staging, and copy the EAR +
          resources yourself.
          Regards,
          Jon

Configuring TLS support in a clustered environment

Hi folks !
I couldn't find a definitive guide to TLS support in a clustered environment... So I'll give it a shout :)
Has anyone managed to configure TLS support in his/her cluster ?
My setup is as follows :
- we have two Ironports, clustered, who are addressed using a common name through a hardware loadbalancer (mxfarm)
- Each ironport is seen as a unique host when sending outbound emails (ironport-1 and ironport-2)
- I have installed a certificate in MACHINE mode on each of them (i.e. one certificate for ironport-1, another for ironport-2)
Now, when I want to enable TLS (in cluster mode), I get the message that a security/key certificate hasn't been installed....
Sooooooooo how should I do it ??
Thanks !!
Frédéric Lens

Hello,
We have four machines in a cluster, using TLS as default for inbound and outbound traffic.
Since we do not use load balancers we have individual certs for each machine. Besides that we have (company signed) certificates for each machine. These are used for systems management (HTTPS). (By the way... the certificate management is a terrible job if you have to maintain four machines with two certs each (and thus two certification paths). Hey Ironport: some major enhancements are possible on this field.....)
Since we use individual certs we have to install them in machine mode. The TLS policies are cluster based and this is configured and functioning without any problems.
I have a few attention points:
The certs that are installed before a machines has joined the cluster are removed on the moment you add this machine to the cluster. This in normally not done very frequently so I think this will not be the problem in this case, but it’s good to know that after joining the cluster you have the initial demo certs active again.
Even if you buy certificates from commercial vendors you must be sure you install the complete certification path. We have Verisign certs and had to install the intermediate certificate to get the chain complete.
You mention you have connected your MGA's to an incoming load balancer and send out mail via the individual hosts. I expect you to utilize three IP addresses for that (one incoming that is assigned to the load balancer and two others for the MGA's outgoing traffic). This means you must have three individual forward and reversed DNS entries. Since the CN of the cert must match the (public) DNS name of your system you should have individual certs for inbound and outbound traffic. The inbound cert (and intermediate certs) must be the same on both machines since these are is presented to the outside world as if they where one and should match the forward DNS name of the load balancer IP address. The outbound certs must be unique for each machine, matching the reversed DNS name of that machine.
I have two points that I'm not sure of, maybe someone else can clear this up:
The SMTP greeting normally contains the public systems hostname. I do not know if you can configure individual SMTP greetings for in and outbound mail and, if this is possible, if the inbound greeting can be the same on two clustered machines. Since you have two machines combined behind a loadbalancer I would expect the to present them selves to the public identically, for the outbound traffic is the individual machine IP address used, I would expect the system to identify it selves by the hostname that is in the PTR for the used IP address. Finally: I am not sure if this has any impact on TLS or not.
I always import the all intermediate certs for each cert I import. That means I install the two public intermediate certs twice and install the internal root and intermediate cert also twice. It might be sufficient to install both sets only once but I have never tested this. Who can tell if I am forcing myself into too much work or not?
I hope you solve your problem. My experience is that starting with certificates is most of the time a PITA (Pain In The Ass) but if you have figured out how to do it for a particular system it becomes quite simple.
Best regards
Steven

AIA FP 2.4 on SOA suit 10.3.1.4 clustered environment

Hi
I am trying to install the FP on top of my SOA 10.1.3.4 MLR5. This is a clustered environment.
As described, one should install the FP with ant on the admin member, with ant --noconfig FPInstall.xml
But it keeps failng at deploy AIAReadJMSNotificationProcess with ORABPEL-12529
It says it misses some adapters :
AdapterFrameworkImpl::endpointActivation - Endpoint Activation Error.
The Resource Adapter was unable to activate the endpoint :{} due to the following reason: ORABPEL-12529
ManagedConnectionFactory problem.
Could not instantiate ManagedConnectionFactory oracle.tip.adapter.jms.JmsManagedConnectionFactory due to:
Missing class: oracle.tip.adapter.jms.JmsManagedConnectionFactory
Dependent class: oracle.tip.adapter.fw.wsdl.WSDLUtils
Loader: oracle.bpel.common:10.1.3
Code-Source: /opt/oracle/product/10.1.3/assoa/bpel/lib/orabpel.jar
Configuration: <code-source> in /opt/oracle/product/10.1.3/assoa/j2ee/oc4j_soa/config/server.xml
This load was initiated at orabpel.root:0.0.0 using the Class.forName() method.
The missing class is not available from any code-source or loader in the system.
Please make sure the corresponding JCA Resource Adapter has been deployed.
Please correct the reported issue and redeploy the BPEL process.
These adapters are installed in the oc4j_esbdt as the install guide on soa clustering describes, and I think the deployment expects it to be in the oc4j_soa. Am I right? Does anyone know how to overcome these issues?
kind regrds
Michel

Hi Michel,
I found the solution myself
Just manually deploy the adapters in oc4j_soa the same as in oc4j_esbdt, now deployment goes ok.
Please excuse my ignorance. How do you manually deploy the adapters as mentioned above? Please give the details.
Thanks,
Amorsolo

SAP Adapter Best Practice Question for Deployment to Clustered Environment

I have a best practices question on the iway Adapters around deployment into a clustered environment.
According to the documentation, you are supposed to run the installer on both nodes in the cluster but configure on just the first node. See below:
Install Oracle Application Adapters 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.3.0) on both machines.
Configure a J2CA configuration as a database repository on the first machine.
Perform the required changes to the ra.xml and weblogic-ra.xml files before deployment.
This makes sense to me because once you deploy the adapter rar in the next step it the appropriate rar will get staged and deployed on both nodes in the cluster.
What is the best practice for the 3rdParty adapter directory on the second node? The installer lays it down with the adapter rar and all. Since we only configure the adapter on node 1, the directory on node 2 will remain with the default installation files/values not the configured ones. Is it best practice to copy node 1's 3rdParty directory to node 2 once configured? If we leave node 2 with the default files/values, I suspect this will lead to confusion to someone later on who is troubleshooting because it will appear it was never configured correctly.
What do folks typically do in this situation? Obviously everything works to leave it as is, but it seems strange to have the two nodes differ.

What is the version of operating system. If you are any OS version lower than Windows 2012 then you need to add one more voter for quorum.

WebLogic 10.3.4 Adminserver Performance Issues - Clustered Environment.

I am running WL 10.3.4 64 bit version on 64 bit hardware (blade serves) running Solaris 10 and I have the servers setup in a cluster. There are 3 machines are part of the cluster.
Managed Server1 is on Blade Server 1
Managed Server2 is on Blade Server 2
Managed Server3 is on Blade Server 3
We have about 20 different clusters setup and 60 servers across those 20 clusters.
The adminserver runs on a separate box (not a blade server). Tasks that do NOT involve the servers or deployments tabs are relatively fast however, when I go to the servers or deployments tab, and to some extent the clusters tab, the response is very slow.
For example, I am running WL 10.3.0 on less robust hardware. I installed the patch that Oracle published to resolve this particular issue. We have a similar number of clusters and servers on in that environment (3 severs to a cluster). The servers tab responds in 10 seconds.
In WL 10.3.4, the servers and deployments tabs take about 45 - 60 seconds to respond. This adds a LOT of overhead to doing any server or deployment related tasks.
I realize that the admin server has to query all the managed servers but performance in 10.3.4 is much worse than WL 10.3.0 with the performance patch.
Has anyone else run into similar performance issues with the WL 10.3.4 ADMIN Console running in a clustered environment? If so, does anyone have any suggestions to help improve performance.
I also run a WL 10.3.4 instance in a single server environment and the servers and deployments tabs respond withing 10 seconds (very fast). It is just in a clustered environment.
Regards,
Mark

hi Mark, it's a very interesting story, any follow-up? I would be curious to know the reason for the delay...

Error while installing SMD agent

How to install SMD Agent on a MSCS?

Hello helpers,
we have installed a PI 7.1 (double stack) on a MSCS environment. The next step is to connect the PI 7.1 SAP system to our SolMan and to install the diagnostics agent. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any documentation explaining an installation of the SMD Agent in a MSCS environment.
Does anybody know what has to be done? Do I have to install 3 agents, one on every MSCS node and one in the SCS/ASCS cluster resource group, or is only one agent needed in the SCS/ASCS cluster resource group?
Looking forward for any answers,
Sascha Piotrowsky

Hi Sascha,
To distribute a solution to the diagnostics the install path must be verified in TC SMDIAG_WIZARD. To verify the install paths an installed SMD-AGENT is neccessary.
Yes
Another point is that we like to monitor the J2EE Servers and Dispatchers from the 2 instances on "nodeA" and "nodeB". So in my opinion at least 2 SMD-Agent should be installed, one on every node. Do you agree?
No, you need one SMD Agent, this agent can then monitor multiple instances on one virtual host. The connection is only between virtual host and agent, not between instance and agent.
But what shall I do with the ASCS00/SCS01 instance. Does an SMD-Agent installation bring any effort on "clusterSID" or is it a must?
It's not a must, only relevant if you want to receive host metrics from this host. As this is only virtual, I would not install one here.
Best regards
Michael

Distributed clustered environment

Hi ,
Distributed clustered environment:
I am going to configure Clustered environment of BO 3.1 , I have some doubt hence I have less experience in clustering.
Configuration details :
1) 2 CMS on 2 diffrent unix box
2) Report servers will be installed on two diffrent machines
3) FRS will be mounted to two machines.
Doubts :
1 )Do I need to configure the connectivity and relate things in Profiles in the machine where Report servers are installed ? If
Yes it will be help full if you provide details information of configuration.
2) FRS can't clustered hence puting it on one location and mounting it on two machines any challenges , I never did this kind of configurations I am on planning phase please help me with the required information.

Yes, you need to creat the dabase connectivity on both the servers, please clarify what do you mean by profiles ?

FRS works as active and passive servers, they dont do load balancing. The one you start first will be the active and passive will become active only when the first one is down.
To configure FRS , you need to have the file repostory shared and accessible by both the servers and provide this file repository path to both FRS in the server properties page in CMC.

How to install a set of mixed clustering exchange server (Coexistence between 2007 CCR cluster with 2010 DAG or 2013 DAG)

I need a mixed clustering environment that coexist 2007 CCR cluter with 2010 DAG or 2013 DAG.
Is there any step-by-step article I can refer to?

Hi,
Do you want to know how to migrate CCR to DAG?
If you want to migrate from CCR to DAG, there are two available ways to achieve this.
One is to bring the new hardware, the other is to break and format the existing Exchange 2007 CCR Cluster to use the hardware.
Bring the new hardware, you need to install new server and configure Exchange 2010 DAG, then move mailbox from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010.
Breaking the existing Exchange 2007 CCR Cluster, you need to decommission your passive Exchange Server 2007 SP2 Node first, re-install Exchange 2010 server role on this server, and then configure Exchange 2010 DAG using this server. After that, you
can migrate mailboxes from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010, remove the last Exchange 2007 server. Then add seond server to existing DAG.
Hope this is helpful to you.
