Intallation of 11g in Brand New server

Hi Gurus,
This is the first time i am installing the 11g on Brand new Windows 2008 64 bit server. I need help and info what are the prerequist i need to have and start the OBIEE 11g installation on the Windows 2008 64 bit server.
It is brand new server nothing installed exccept the Operating system in that.
Regards
Ali

Ali,
There were several people who have experience this exact scenario as you explained.
Many overcame this by simply stopping the installation and restarting it. Most say that the second time through that it completed the installation without a problem.
I personally have installed OBI 11g 30+ times at this point and I am a bit superstitious when it comes to a Windows install. I believe that moving the cursor every few minutes during the OBI 11g installation prevents the freeze-up. I know, I know... but I've had it freeze up once or twice and now on a Windows install when I do that it hasn't frozen up since. Very scientific, right?
Also, you mentioned that you installed 11gR2 but did you set the loopback apdapter properly if the DB is on the same machine you were conducting the installation on?
Cheers,
Christian

Unable to set Open Directory master on brand new server

I have a brand new Mac Mini server running 10.6.2 which I am unable to set as an OD master, receiving the error "There was a configuration error when configuring your server as an Open Directory Master. See the Configuration Log for more information about the failure."
The log reads as follows...

... but I am unable to locate any reference to the specific error in these forums or via my friendly neighbourhood Google.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Well, like I mentioned, if DNS is not properly configured, all bets are off. And again, if you start services before making it an OD master, you could be asking for trouble. You may be able to fix the installation, but I'd seriously consider starting over.
You might be able to fix what you have well enough to make it work, but what happens in 6 months when it gets flaky about something. You may end up wondering of there was something wrong to begin with.
So yes, I'd start over.

Windows update borking brand new server 3 times in a row...

Hello all,
here's an interesting one for you all.
our company recently deployed a new server.
server 2012 r2
configuration
setup
all worked correctly
after all was done, updates were installed, afterwards the server would have a black screen of death over rdp and a slew of issues locally.
tried to remotely deploy http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2897632 which was supposed to address this.
no go...
since this already happened 3 times in a row i'm not quite sure how to go about this apart from disabling updates or excluding the problematic one. alas not sure which one it is.
what should the next course of action be? restore backups or re-image are fruitless since the same update will render it bad all over again.

That is not a scripted answer. It might be that you have a driver that is not compatible with recent Windows Updates which might cause that: That is why I have made the previous suggestion.
I never heard about black screen issue after the one fixed by KB2897632. My recommendation would be to check with your server support if they have known compatibility problems for Windows Server 2012 R2 running on their hardware.

Virtual Machines extemely slow to load on brand new server.

We're about to put our first virtualized Windows 2012 Hyper-V server on a small business site. Everything went fine with the installation, but I've noticed that when loading up the virtual machines, the process takes hours... For example, I created a new
virtual machine with 4GBs of RAM, and installed Windows 7 64-bit edition from an ISO file... It took about two hours. I deleted this virtual machine and tried to create another Windows 7 64-bit virtual machine, this time using the actual DVD and it was just
as slow.. EVEN with all other VMs shut down... I have another test copy of Hyper-V for Windows 8 at home that I use for learning, so I tried installing the same Windows 7 64-bit ISO on this workstation and it installed in twenty minutes. And this is just a
workstation.
The server is a HP Proliant ML350 server with 24GBs RAM. If anything I would have expected the server to install the Windows 64-bit VM in twenty minutes, NOT the workstation !! On the face of it the only differences between the two systems is:
a) The server has two 500GB SAS drives, which are mirrored. There is no mirroring on the Windows 8 workstation.
b) The server had drive is partitioned in to a C: drive (for the host O/S) and a D: drive (for the virtual machines). There is only one partition on the Windows 8 workstation, which holds the operating system and the virtual machines.
Below is a graphic I drew up which I hope helps you visualise the hard drive setup.
This is a small site, so they wont pay for additional hard drives. Is there something about the way I have the disks set up that could cause the virtual machines to load slowly? Would it be better NOT to have two partitions on the host?
Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

It looks like you are trying to use 100% of your disk space. Are the VHDs fixed size or dynamic? How much free space is there on the host partition? If the host partition is 80% full and you are using fixed VHDs, the system could be thrashing
itself trying to find free space, and that free space can get highly fragmented meaning no large blocks for storing. Generally a disk is considered 'full' when it is at about 80% utilization. If you are using fixed VHDs, you have 80% utilization
even before you take into consideration what the host needs.
Partitions don't change performance characteristics. You still have the same number of read/write heads sharing the processing of the same amount of data. That's why multiple disks can improve performance - multiple read/write heads going against
multiple data blocks. So what you are describing has nothing to do with partitions versus no partitions.
Have you run any other IO load tests to see if there is a hardware problem with the RAID controller? That is not unheard of. What you are seeing is completely atypical for your environment. That's why I am wondering about hardware issues.

Recover exchange 2010 to a new server

I recently took over a position here at this company. The exchange server had 2gb left on the C drive. I had to disable windows updates and clear logs just for email to begin working again. That exchange server had since failed, but was able to recover it
by just dumping the raid array into an identical machine. However I suspect this machine will soon fail itself.
I purchased a brand new server to move exchange over to, im wondering if there is any documentation anywhere where I can do a backup, then restore exchange and mailboxes to the new machine without breaking links to our Cisco VM system, client mailbox configurations,
mobile phone setups, SSL cert, ect. Basically just to restore exchange 2010 on Server 2008 64 to a brand new machine and have it continue from there. Has anyone done this or can point in the direction of documentation for this?

What is the current status of Old Exchange Server?
What is the size of WINSXS folder?

New Server - Not Getting Event.Data back

Its a weird problem i'm having. I've setup a brand new server (Original was a shared hosting setup from godaddy).
I'm using my same application
And i'm not getting event.data info back (in XML form)
Here's an example:
private function onUploadCompleteData(event:DataEvent):void {
updateStatus(event.data, _numCurrentUpload - 1);
var x:XML = new XML(event.data.toString()); <---- NOT FIRING
Application.application.upAvatar = "/profile/" + x.name;
Does anyone have any ideas? I was thinking it could be a misconfiguration with my apache settings.
I'm using:
Ubuntu
Apache2
PHP5
CURL
Thanks..

Should I join the domain with my new server 2008 R2 before I run dcpromo ?

Hi Team,
Should I join the domain with my new server 2008 R2 before I run dcpromo ?
Brand new server, 2008 r2. I want it to eventually be my forest root. Should I go ahead and join it to the domain as just a member server and then do all the ? Should I run adprep before I join
the domain? I'm only asking about member server at this point...before dcpromo.
Most of the posts I have seen relating to installing Additional Domain Controller (ADC) onto a domain, state that the machine they are starting with is NOT a member of the domain. In my case,
the machine I want to make an ADC is already a member of the domain.

Help migrating to a new server and keeping Aliases intact

Our old G4 server running Tiger Server is experiencing some "odd" hick-ups, so we decided to get a brand new server running 10.5 Server.
When we copy an entire share all internal aliases "just work" (Yay Apple).
Where it gets tricky is we sometimes have links between shares. For instance all sales related materials are kept on a secure volume, where project files are on a public volume. We sometimes have links on the public volume to the secure volume (for instance possibly linking to a client's original feature list from their RFP, which could rightfully be filed in either place).
As we have started migrating over data one thing we realized was that because we are creating new shares these "cross volume" aliases are getting lost.
Ideally I'd love to have a way to hunt down all "orphan" aliases and basically say "hey if you pointed to a certain path on the old secure volume, now go to that path on the new secure volume. Has anyone done this?
At the very least, I'd love a way to find any "orphan" aliases, so I can manually update them....
Thanks,

In a scenario such as you describe one wouldn't bother with manually organizing data. You hit the red button on your data management/ backup software and let it work out the details. Generally one would also use RAID 5 for critical file servers since even while it's running specific single files may need to be restored on the fly if a write operation fails. This also eleiminates the need to run a "full backup" server since it will be extremely unlikely that the server will suffer a catastrophic failure and you lose all data. If that's not an option, a RAID 01 seems more appropriate for your situation than a RAID 10 since you deal with large files and would ned to maintain their integrity at least within one of the stripe sets or else your backup plan falls apart.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro, and at no time am I actually having trouble connecting to the server, but this message continues to pop-up several times a day at random intervals. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or is my computer just having a glitch? Other than that, and a mildly sticking caps lock button, it's working perfectly.
Thank you!

Alright it didn't solve it. Any other suggestions?
I haven't suggested a solution yet. I want to know whether you still get the messages while Time Machine is disabled. Do you? If so, try any or all of the solutions proposed in this thread:

Screen Share for Brand New Mini Server

Hello all,
just unpacked the brand new Mac Mini Server and don't know what to do. We all work on laptops in my studio so have no keyboards to use with the thing. I haven't turned it on yet, but is there a way to immediately go into remote screen sharing so I can configure it etc? Thanks for any tips that keep me from having to go dig up a keyboard!

Hi
Do you see an option to Screen Share on a client mac?
With the MacMini there should be two disks. One of them is for installing the Server Administration applications. Install these on a client mac - must be 10.6. Once installed launch Server Admin. Switch on your MacMini and connect it to the network. Good idea to have DHCP running somewhere. Presumably whatever you're using for your Router/Firewall? Make a note of the MacMini's Serial Number (first 8 characters) Launch Server Admin and dismiss the authentication prompt. Select "Set Up Remote Server" from the Server Admin Menu.
It should be fairly obvious from there - hopefully?
HTH?
