IPS with server Farm
Hi Guys
I m Looking for sample setup of IPS running in inline mode to protect server farm, the servers are directly connected to a Collapsed Core based VSS
thanks
Tony, the failure of a probe (or even all probes for a real) does not delete a sticky entry. However, when a connection request is made that invokes the sticky, and the real is not operational, then the sticky entry is deleted. I can't seem to gte into my ace to test, but I would expect it to be similar. Matthew

Good day everyone,
I have a question in regard to real server operation with different server farms, and VIPs
Can a Real Server be associated ( for simpliciy) with two different Server Farms that have a VIP associated with each, servicing the same TCP Port (443).
Example:
SF-A
RSRV-1: 192.168.1.10 /24
RSRV-2: 192.168.1.11 /24
VIP-A: 192.168.1.20 /24
VIP-A: https:web-A
Protocol: HTTPS
SF-B
RSRV-2: 192.168.1.11 /24
RSRV-3: 192.168.1.12 /24
VIP-B: 192.168.1.30 /24
VIP-b: https:web-B
Protocol: HTTPS
Client-A: 172.16.128.10
Client-B: 172.16.128.15
I have attached an sketch depicting the connectivity.
As always any feedback/Suggestions will be greatly apprecaited.
Cheers,
Raman AzizianRaman,
This type of config is no problem. What the server is doing is virtual web hosting. The server would have two different web services running for the same IP, but each listening for a unique host header.
From an IP point of view both connections would be destined to the rserver address on port 80, but in the http header they would have two different Host headers.
one for www.example1.com and the second for www.example2.com. If the web server is configured correct so each host name is tied to one web service it will not have any issues.
The config you attached looks ok. The way you have the sticky group is ok doing source IP. If you use cookies for the sticky group I would suggest you create two sticky groups each with a different cookie name and add the same serverfarm to both groups. The client will only send a cookie for the domain it received it from so using the same cookie in two vips could cause problems if the same client hits both vips.
Hope that helps

ACE with sticky http-cookies across two server farms issue

We need the same sticky http cookie to applied to two server farms (which are actually the same servers but listening on different ports in each farm) to persist sessions to the same real backend server.
e.g.
Farm1 (front end HTTP service) - StickyGroup1
rserver1 - 192.168.0.1:80
rserver2 - 192.168.0.2:80
rserver3 - 192.168.0.3:80
Farm2 (SSL front end authentication service) - StickyGroup2
rserver1 - 192.168.0.1:443
rserver2 - 192.168.0.2:443
rserver3 - 192.168.0.3:443
We have setup two Sticky Groups (one for each of the farms above) both using the same cookie name e.g. cookieXYZ
Our service is behind a single virtual server configured as follows (example URL and addresses):
Virtual Server Configuration
Virtual server name: www.somedomain.com
Virtual IP: 2.2.2.2
TCP/443 (https)
SSL Termination - Proxy service name: www.somedomain.com (all keys and certs loaded and correct)
L7 Load Balancing - **inline** rule match HTTP URL:(/AuthenticateMe/).* Action : Sticky, Group: StickyGroup2, SSL Initiation enabled (www.somedomain.com)
Default L7 Load Balancing action : Sticky, Group: StickyGroup1
So normally we would expect users to first hit www.somedomain.com first and therefore Farm1, get cookieXYZ from the ACE (cookie insert is only enabled on StickyGroup1) and then be redirected to www.somedomain.com/AuthenticateMe which matches the inline URL L7 rule which directs the request at Farm2 - at this point we expected the ACE to use cookieXYZ to persist the user to the same real server hit in Farm1 but instead the stickiness doesn't seem to work.
We suspect that the ACE uses IP:port as the unique value in the Cookie ID and therefore the ACE fails to match the same real host in a different farm because we are using a mix of port numbers across farms. Is this correct? Is there another way of accomplishing what we are after with a different configuration but still the same setup with single VIP and multiple services on the backend servers?
Any suggestions or solutions appreciated.
Thanks
PaulThe issue is related to the fact that it's not about persistence because there are only "new" services in the backend in SSL, you want to keep the IP address.
With a little bit of dev, the only way to acheive this is to redirect the user when he has been sent to http and adding a "tag" (cookie / token in the URL), then on the SSL virtual server, when performing SSL offload matching this tag to send to user to the right server. But it will be a 1-to-1 mapping. -
Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!! I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm. Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud. Be patient!
Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms

Hello Community
A Sharepoint 2013 Server farm created on a physical server
stores it's documents in SQL Server according to how SQL Server is setup.
If a Sharepoint 2013 Server farm is using Hyper-V and Virtual machines
how is BLOB data stored ?
Thank you
ShabeautAre you looking to use Remote Blob Storage? or RBS of SQL with SP?
It is going to be same way as it is configured for physical server.

Hi,
My name is Jay Kishan and I am currently working as a network administrator in my company. We have just finished first phase of implementing Server Farm in our Data Center i.e. all servers in a different VLAN and all users in a separate VLAN. (Actually we have 6 different VLANs for users based on what floor they reside on but lets just call it a single User VLAN).
Anyways, so now my manager wants me to put a firewall in between the Server VLAN and the User VLAN. We have around 80 servers running different applications. I think that by putting a firewall in between the two VLANs will have a performance hit since the throughput required between the two VLANs is way too much for a normal firewall to support.
I just want to know the best practice the industry follows for firewalling in a server farm and the main reasons for it. I am searching for some solution myself but would really appreciate any help. As far as I could find, only critical servers are placed behind a firewall in a separate VLAN and inbound and outbound traffic for that VLAN is passed through the firewall. Also, what is the best thing to do. Place a separate hardware firewall like ASA5510 or use FWSM in Cisco 6500.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jay,
Best recoomended practice is used to have server behind the firewall, so that restricted access will be graneted via firewall on these servers,which can be achived via acl deployment on switches.But firewall will give addionalt feature for blocking with stateful inspection and stateful failovers.
The ASA supports firewalling/VPN/IPS/IDS/Content filtering so it is a fully featured security device and The FWSM is a module that goes into a 6500 chassis but it is important to note that it is only a firewall ie. it doesn't support IDS/IPS/VPN etc.
So upto your choice how want to segregate the vlan traffic using firewall.
Hope to Help !!

Hi all,
To securing server in data center, we have to deploy firewall and ips. My question is, do firewall and ips need to securing traffic between server (different subnet, like database server and application server) or just securing traffic between outside server farm and server farm ?
ThanksIt's up to you in the end but I would recommend having your database servers firewalled from anything else.
The database servers are some of the most important servers in any company and they usually need the highest level of protection.
When I was involved with an Oracle setup we had our database servers on their own vlan behind a firewall which was Oracle's recommendation. Only the application servers were allowed to initiate connections to them and there was no direct access to the database servers except for the admins.
And if you have multiple database servers on the same vlan, if there is no need for them to communicate with each other you can also use private vlans to segregate them within the vlan.

SharePoint 2013 Configuration Wizard failure while joining a WFE to the existing server farm.
Dears,
I've been troubleshooting an issue while trying to join a new WFE server to an existing SharePoint 2013 farm.
Issue Description:
When we run the wizard it runs for almost 30 to 45 minutes on the step 3 itself and eventually fails at the end with an error message "Failed to connect to the configuration Database..... Value doesn't fall within the expected range"
First I thought this is a connectivity issue with the config DB and monitored the complete operation very closely after checking the permissions and SQL server connection and happened to see that the server was able to connect to the farm and all the web
applications and the related solutions were pushed to the server and apparently the failure of the Wizard at below point: Followed by the error, all web sites and solutions were retracted and a complete roll back happens.
Can someone pls help me here at the earliest as I'm stuck ???

BR,
MukeshHi Pradeep, this wasn't due to any permission issue.. I was trying with the farm account which is a local admin group member as well as being a member of IIS_WPG.. on a continues investigation happened to find that the IIS config file was corrupted and which
encountered issues in the creation of app pool.. I had to tweak around some settings with the config file by considering the other WFE as a reference.. this actually fixed the issue..
BR,

SP 2013 - Error: This operation can be performed only on a computer that is joined to a server farm
Hello Community!
I am working with SharePoint 2013 and I built a farm inside the firewall. Then a decision was made to move the two WFE's to the DMZ. Since that time, whenever I try to access the site collections, I get the error below. Other information: All
the web applications are on port 80, but I'm not having any problem with accessing Central Administration which is on port 8080; the network team did screw up the DNS originally, but I'm told it's correct now; the two WFE's servers show in my Manage servers
on the Farm interface 2X, once with the server name, once with the fully Qualified Domain Name, the ones with the FQDN shows a Services Running status of Not Configured.
Has anyone else ever seen this error and if so please provide guidance and instruction for fixing the error.
Thanks!
Tom

Linked-In - SharePoint GypsyHi Tom,
According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you moved your SharePoint.
This error occurs when the SharePoint farm administrator cannot connect to your configuration database. Please verify the followings:
Make sure that from the SharePoint front end and application servers that you can ping your SQL server.
Make sure that your Farm account has permission to the configuration database.
Lastly verify that your database didn't for some reasons go into recovery mode.
once everything is fine and you are still having issues, restart the SQL host service on the SQL server. Once the service is restarted you will need to reboot Central Admin and then your front end servers.
In addition, as you built your farm inside the firewall, please disable the firwall, or create rules for SQL Server service in the firwall on SQL server. More information about creating rules in firewall, please refer to the following posts:

Logging into a specific server in a terminal server farm
We have several terminal server farms and in each farm we have the need for 1 user to always log into a specific server in the farm. This is due to a little piece of sortware that is required for a device that only this one user has and
the fact the it is licensed to only one server. The user must use that server for it to work. I want to include this server in the farm because it seems silly to have a server for only one user. How can I point one PC/user
to the same server in the farm all the time? We are using the Connection Broker and NLB which seems to work just fine for all other users.
ThanksHi Steve,
What operating system version are you running on your servers? Server 2008 R2? Server 2012?
When you configure a RDS farm to be load-balanced by the connection broker, all servers in the unique farm are intended to have the exact same applications installed. The idea is the RDCB can redirect users to different servers as needed to balance
the load, and that you may take any particular server (or servers, if you have enough) offline and your farm will still work.
Now, there are always exceptions and I understand it would be nice if you could assign a user/app to a specific server to handle a case like yours. For example, you would understand this particular user or app would not be load-balanced or highly
available and if the one server was down it would not work, but other users/RemoteApps would be load-balanced as usual. This is
not a feature of the current versions of RDS.
To do what you want the "best way" would require writing a custom plugin for RDCB. In your custom plugin you would specifiy the load-balancing logic. For example, when one of the "special" users logs on, your logic would direct them to the
correct specific server, but when a regular user logs on you would allow the normal RDCB load-balancing logic to apply. Please see here for more information:
Terminal Services Session Broker Plug-in reference
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/cc644962(v=vs.85).aspx
Besides writing a custom plugin I suggest you consider the following workarounds:
1. Instead of running the app under RDSH, run it in a Win7/Win8 VM pool if possible. Either a pool of identical VMs or assign each user that needs to run the app to a dedicated VM. Downside of this is added complexity, licensing for VDI,
and an increase in hardware resources required to run the VMs.
2. Have the user connect to the server using /admin. You can change the permissions so that a specific group may connect using a /admin connection, without them being administrators. Downside of this is that some features
of RDSH are not present when connected as an administrative RDP session, and only two Active admin sessions are permitted.
3. If running Server 2008 R2 you could set the server so that it does not participate in load balancing and have the users that need to run this special app connect directly to the server's ip address instead of to the farm name. Downside of this
is that you will get more uneven load distribution, however, it may not be that bad if you are balancing your initial connections using NLB and you have all of your regular users connecting to the farm name as usual.
4. Have a separate server in each farm (not joined to the farm) just for this one app. If possible they could be VMs with not much resources dedicated to each. I know this is what you did not want to do, but I mention it because an
extra base Windows Server license, one for each farm, is likely less additional cost than licensing the special software on
all servers. If you can run the app in VMs then the additional hardware cost of doing it this way is reduced.

Failed to detect if this server is joined to a server farm
Hi,
We run our intranet on a virtual server. the other day it crashed and we restored it from a previous point
However when we launch the intranet we just get a an unexpected error has occurred. I am able to get into central admin but that's about it
I though of maybe running the product config wizard but it get an error saying "failed to detect if this server is joined to a server farm. Possible reasons for this failure could be that you no longer have the appropriate permissions to the server
farm, the database server hosting the server farm is in responsive, the configuration database is inaccessible or this server has been removed from the server farm"
this is what the logs it tell you to look in says:01/30/2014 10:03:01 1 INF Leaving function StringResourceManager.GetResourceString

VIP still reachable even if primary server farm is down
Hi,
I want to make sure that the a VIP is not PING-able anymore when the primary server farm is down (all servers are down).
For that I have the following configuration :
serverfarm host NCL_FARM_TEST
probe NCL_PROBE_HTTP
rserver CHPAUN028 443
inservice
policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7_POLICY_NCL_TEST_HTTP
description *** Load balancing rule for test in http mode ***
class L7_CLASS_TEST
serverfarm NCL_FARM_TEST backup NCL_REDIRECT_FARM_SORRY
compress default-method gzip
insert-http Source-IP header-value "%is"
insert-http Remote-Port header-value "%pd"
ssl-proxy client NCL_SSL_CLIENT
policy-map multi-match VIP_PROD_AND_TEST
class L4_CLASS_NCL_TEST_HTTP
loadbalance vip inservice
loadbalance policy L7_POLICY_NCL_TEST_HTTP
loadbalance vip icmp-reply active primary-inservice
nat dynamic 2 vlan 115
appl-parameter http advanced-options NCL_HTTP_PARAM
While testing this feature, I realize that the VIP is still reachable (PING), even if the server in the farm is in PROBE_FAILED status (For test, I have only one srserver in the farm).
Here is the server farm status, while PING is still possible :
CH01AC03/P-115-A# sh serverfarm NCL_FARM_TEST detail

In the documentation, the following is written regarding the command "vip loadbalance icmp-reply active primary-inservice" it is stated that the ACE shold discard ping packets if all servers in the primary server farm are down.
I probably missed something, but what ?
Here is the service-policy status :

Thank you for any hints,
Yves HaemmerliGilles,
I have effectively four diferent policy maps :
- one for PROD when the client arrives withh HTTP
- one for PROD when the client arrives with HTTPS
- one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTP
one for TEST when the client arrives with HTTPS
However, the PROD and the TEST environemnts use different server farms. I am testing the icmp-reply feature on the TEST environment. In the TEST environment, both Layer-7 policy maps use the same server farm.
Here are the four polici maps :
policy-map type loadbalance http first-match L7_POLICY_NCL_PROD_HTTP
description *** Load balancing rule for production in http mode ***
class L7_CLASS_PROD
serverfarm NCL_FARM_PROD backup NCL_REDIRECT_FARM_SORRY

Move Project Server to a new Server Farm
I would like to migrate Project server environment along with Project and Resource Data from one server farm to another farm. The environment has customized with custom Enterprise Templates, fields and lookups. Servers in the earlier farm are in a different
AD (Active Directory) environment. So, the new server farm would be in a new Active Directory.
I would like get the key steps and procedure to move Project Server across the two environments. Would the Database attach and detach process work? Any help in this regard will be appreciated.Abhijit,
I personally did not have to do this, but it seems to me that there needs to be a trust set up between both AD Environments. Also, the service accounts will need to have appropriate access on the restored databases.
Please refer this link for more information:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/OS/Microsoft_Operating_Systems/Server/MS-SharePoint/Q_27154301.html
Alternatively, you could use a third party tool like FluentBooks to migrate the data. Still think that the AD users need to be migrated first.
Cheers,

How to create a mult-server server farm?
Hello Community
Let's say you create your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm.
How do you create a Search and Application Server on a separate physical
server and how do you create an SQL Server on a Separate physical Server
and finally adding those Search and Application Server and SQL Server
to your Sharepoint 2013 Server farm?
Thank you
ShabeautHi,
Once you are done with SharePoint installation on one server you are going to add further Application server or Web front end server as per your requirement and finally you will configure the service on your farm.
For setting up the multitire SharePoint farm first of all you need to install the below given prerequisites on
one server.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Windows Management Framework 3.0 (CTP2)
Application Server Role, Web Server (IIS) Role
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Native Client
Windows Identity Foundation (KB974405)
Microsoft Sync Framework Runtime v1.0 SP1 (x64)
Windows Server AppFabric
Microsoft Identity Extensions
Microsoft Information Protection and Control Client
Microsoft WCF Data Services 5.0
Cumulative Update Package 1 for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server (KB2671763)
After installing the SQL server you Just run the SharePoint product and technologies configuration wizard and follow the steps
to add a sever to an existing farm.
Actually as per your question you need to set up a three-tier farm configuration consists of two front-end web
servers, an application server, and a database server. The deployment sequence and configurations that are described in this article are based on recommended best practices. While the farm configuration is not complex, it provides a fundamental infrastructure
to implement a SharePoint 2013 solution on similar — or more complex farms.
In this article:
Overview
Prepare the farm servers
Install SharePoint 2013 on the farm servers
Create and configure the farm
Add web servers to the farm
Post-installation steps
Please feel free to reply back if you stuck somewhere or need any specific help.
