KM repositories in Cluster / non cluster environments

Hi KM experts
I have a technical setup that consist of a Dev (one server) Q/A (two servers, central and dialog instance).
I have transported a taxonomy structure from DEV to QA environment and when I try to browse this structure in Q/A (clustered setup) it is about 9 times longer for display of each KM page. Content in the two systems are exactly the same.
If have tested it trough:
-     Direct access to Central and dialog instance on port 50.000
-     Direct access from each server
-     Trough load balancer
I read in the KM optimization guide that a mark needs to be set under cluster installation and this part is done as well and the timeout period is set to 10 sec.
The rest of the QA portal works fine.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue?
Thanks in advance
Cheers
John

So you have met these 2 requirements right?
1. FSDB share is located on (and called by) UNC virtual resource such as
<virt>\<share>\files
2. Share has everyone full control, OS directory has priviledges for the domain user that is running the portal service, <domain>\SAPService<SID> or <domain>\<SID>adm
(I am assuming you mean Windows cluster env)

Cluster - Non-cluster aware application

Hi everyone,
I need to migrate some non-cluster aware application from windows server 2003 to windows server 2008 R2 or windows server 2012.
On windows server 2003, the cluster service start with a specific domain user to let some access.
I have seen some solutions like "RUNAS" in cmd or a powershell script or VBS.
But my problem is:
How can i start or create non-cluster aware application with user domain access and with "clean work" ?
Thanks

Windows services are installed with an associated account. You can define that to be whatever you want, either a local machine account, local system account, or a domain account.
To make it much, much easier than was possible with clustering in 2003, Windows Server 2012 (suggest using R2) comes with a cluster role of Generic Service.

2012 R2 Hyper-V Cluster Replication to Single Non-Cluster Host?

I can't seem to find a straight answer and in my testing, this doesn't seem to work. Is it supported to replicate from a 2012 R2 Hyper-V cluster to a remote, single 2012 R2 Hyper-V non-cluster host?

Yes, it's supported, and yes it works. The cluster uses the Hyper-V Replica Broker and the destination system does not.

To replicate back to the primary site I'll need a replica broker at the DR site however, correct?

Got this error in Installer Window "*Cannot perform add node procedure for non-cluster Oracle homes*"
Any idea?

what is your oracle version and operating system name and version?

Developer Access In Non-Dev Environments

As an application DBA, I prefer to keep my database pretty locked down. But as DBA with a developer background, I can appreciate having limited access in environments like production. So in our shop, developers currently have read access to all of our data via roles. And they have the ability to create objects under their schema on the users tablespace, which is at 5G (the entire database is around 1T). This morning, I was informed that developers/analysts/testers/etc should not have any create/write privileges in any environment above development. This is not something I agree with. I tried to make my point that giving users a small playground in non-dev environments should not cause any issues to the database. But my higher-ups would not have it, and they keep saying "But it's prod. Nobody should have privileges to create anything in prod". And they will soon force me to make significant changes to user roles.
I guess this post is then looking for opinions... What do you think? Should developers be able to create objects in non-dev environments? If so, what about production? What are your arguments for letting users create tables with data under their schemas in production? Or do you have an argument that says they shouldn't be able to create objects in any environment other than dev? Do you have any links to any research articles? Or maybe books that deal with similar questions?
I tried to do a quick google search, but I didn't come up with any results.
Appreciate any insight you might have!

Seems to me that part of the reason for the varied responses is because your post includes several questions and statements and some of them can be interpreted in a contradictory way. I would hazard that some of those statements are also incomplete and need to be further expanded in order to understand the full import of what was really being said.
>

Surely this doesn't mean ALL developers and ALL data in ALL environments does it? But does this relate to developers using their own schema for access or an APP schema?
>

Like the above does this mean when using their own schema? Or is such access allowed using an APP schema?

You didn't provide ANY reason or justification for even needing to do this in a non-dev/sandbox environment. Why not?

Nobody should have privileges to create anything in prod

Does management mean that ONLY DBAs should have this privilege? Or did they literally mean to include the DBAs as well?

Should developers be able to create objects in non-dev environments?

Clarify this - in their own schema? Or in an APP schema as part of their duty to fix problems or issues or assist in a release?

For me it is telling that you did not provide YOUR arguments for this.
The very nature of your question and the decisions you say have recently been made suggest to me that your organization is lacking sufficient documentation for the systems Business Requirements and for your IT departments internal system requirements. In particular there seems to be a lack of a security policy or plan and a lack of a deployment plan and the roles and responsibilities of those involved in deployments.
That is the problem that manaqement needs to tackle. My suggestion to you would be to gather ALL of the information and questions you can think of, put them in a document and submit it to management to for policy consideration.
There should be a section for each environment and you should includes questions like:
1. Which DBAs should have access to, and responsibility for, this database? Are there any restrictions?
2. Will developers be allowed to have their own schema in this daabase? If yes, what priviliges are they allowed to have? Can they access objects from other schemas? What type of access is allowed? What objects/object-types are they allowed access to?
3. Who will be responsible for creating any application schema objects in this database? The DBAs (ALL or only some)? The developers (ALL or only some)?
You will be providing a higher level of service to management if you take this challenge head-on and try to nail down the exact requirements that are needed. The first part of the document is where you try to gather and list the requirements.
You also provide information about what the current policy is (e.g. developers can have their own schema in test).
In the detail sections for each you provide the arguments for and against the current policy or the recommendation for the new policy. This is where you, and other DBAs/developers, tell management why you need a particular policy and the effect it will have on the business if the policy is changed.
The professional response, in my opinion, is to interpret management's actions as an indication that
1. the current policy is unclear
2. the suggestions for changing the policy are incomplete
3. there is NO documentation as to the reasons for having the current policy or the reasons that the policy needs sto be changed
4. there is NO documentation as to the impact on the business if the current policy is changed (or if it is left the same)
That presents an opportunity for your group to step up to the plate and provide some very vital, and very needed, information to management in a responsible way.
Isn't that what being a team player is all about?

Why the non-cluster SQL Server appeared in the cluster nodes list

1, I install the node rs6 standalone, Why it appeared in the cluster node list by inquiry the dmv?
2, how to removed the rs6 from the cluster node list ?
by "set -clusterownernode -resource "XXXASQL" -owners NODE1,NODE2"?
But how to find the resource name? I tried to use window cluster name, SQL cluster name, and SQL role name , All of them say failed to get the cluster object.
3,how to set the owers to {}, I try below, but failed.

IMHO, sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes DMV is associated with the SQL Server
Operating System (SQLOS), sys.dm_os_cluster_nodes returns one row for each node in the failover cluster configuration.
As you are running standalone instance on cluster I am assuming this information is being picked from
OS and not from RS6 SQL instance.
As you have confirmed Is_cluster is false and if you don’t see RS6 instance in failover cluster manager I don’t think anything damaged here. Everything looking as expected, dont change owner node as its standalone instance.

Vm in a file share. none cluster disk

First, thanks for the help.
I have two host in VMM
2012 (not in cluster).
Both hosts have configured a file
share. I have a VM with
vm-hard-drive, and
vm-file, stored on the shared drive.
I can move the "control"
of the machine from one host to another?
now asks for the location
of VM files. I have
to have two VM files, one for each
host?
Thanks for the help.
http://kinomakino.blogspot.com

Can both hosts see the share? Both of the host need to have full access to the share.
Also, as the host servers are not clustered you'll need to setup constrained delegation.
You can follow this technet article to configure constrained delegation.

Migration over private network - Non-Cluster

Hello everyone...
I have a hyper-v cluster (3 nodes), and a second stand-alone hyper-v host; all of which is managed by SCVMM 2012 R2. The VMM server, and all hyper-v hosts are connected to a 10gbs private network.
When doing a live migration between nodes in the cluster; everything is being transferred over the 10gbs network.
When doing a live migration between one of the cluster nodes and the stand-alone host, it uses the public LAN.
All machines can ping each other on the 10gps network, so it isn't a connectivity issue. (I am using that network to do backups as well.)
On the stand-alone host, I have "use the following IP subnets" set to the subnet of the private network.
All machines are running Windows Server 2012 R2.
Any suggestions on how I can do the migration using the 10gps network?
Thanks!

If I understand correctly , you may need to check the link layer between the cluster node's live migrate IP and that stand-alone host's LM IP .
I want to know the detail of the network topology between cluster and stand-alone host because you mentioned "it uses the public lan" .

System refresh from non-cluster to a MSCS cluster system

I have a system (call GTA) running NW 7.0 SR2 with both ABAP and Java instance. It runs on WIndows 2003 64-bit and SQL Server 2005. Now we want to migrate to a new set of hardware with Microsoft cluster (MSCS). I have installed this new system (Call GTB), MSCS clustered with both ABAP and Java instance and running no problem.
Now I am at the last point of the migration -- which I need refresh database GTB from GTA to capture live data. In WAS 6.40 ABAP, I just need perform a database backup/restore and execute SAPINST tool and everything works. Now based on SAP's "System Copy Guide", I need run export on source system and then run import on target system. In source system, it seems straight to export since it's central system (ABAP+ Java). However, when I get to target system, and when I choose cluster, it listed all items I have to choose (ABAP, SCS, 1st node, 2nd node, DB, enqueue, etc). They are exactly the same as a new installation. My questions are:
1. Do I have to go through all these steps for just refresh a database? If I go through these installation, am I overwrite something in my GTQ from GTA unnecessnaryly?
2. Can I just perform a database backup/restore? But what kind steps I need do to make cluster work after database refresh since original databse (GTA) is not a cluster system?
I appreciate you can provide some advise and share some experiences.
Thanks,
Yujun Ran

Hi
I have used the FROMUSER and TOUSER option of the IMPORT cmd to perform a system copy like you have described.
Steps:
1) Export BW4 (EXPORT USER=SAPBW4 ... )
2) In MCOD database, delete/drop all objects belonging to SAPBW1. From memory, I think I found it easier to DROP USER SAPBW1 CASCADE and the recreate the SAPBW1 user.
3) Import BW4 export (IMPORT FROMUSER=SAPBW4 TOUSER=SAPBW1 ..)
I don't use MCOD anymore because it is such a pain to refresh the systems.

Doug

Can't add server to non-cluster pool

Hi all,
I created one non-clustered server pool, when tried to add the first server to the pool, it prompted one Error message as below:
"Initial server must include master role"
What does 'master role' of a server mean? I check the server properties, but not find similar property to configure its master role.
OVM manager:3.2.1
OVM server: 3.1.1
Thanks!

Will it support non cluster environment.

Dear Coherent,
How will I test my configuration of oracle coherence on non clustered Oracle database environment.
Thanks,

There is no relation between Coherence in memory Data GRID and Oracle Db (with or not RAC)

Live migration to HA failed leaving VHD on local storage and VM in cluster = Unsupported Cluster Configuration

Hi all
Fun one here, I've been moving non-HA VMs to a HA and everything has been working perfectly until now. All this is being performed on Hyper-V 2012R2, Windows Server 2012R2 and VMM 2012R2.
For some reason on the VMs failed the migration with an error 10608 "Cannot create or update a highly available virtual machine because Virtual Machine Manager could not locate or access Drive:\Folder" The odd thing is the drive\folder is
a local storage one and I selected a CSV in the migration wizard.
The net result is that the VM is half configured into the cluster but the VHD is still on local storage. Hence the "unsupported cluster configuration" error.
The question is how do I roll back? I either need to get the VM out of the cluster and back into a non-HA state or move the VHD onto the CSV. Not sure if the latter is really a option.
I've foolishly clicked "Ignore" on the repair so now I can't use the "undo" option (brain fade moment on my part).
Any help gratefully received as I'm a bit stuck with this.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Simar
Thanks for the advice, I've now got the VM back in a stable state and running HA.
Just to finish off the thread for future I did the following
- Shutdown the VM
- Remove the VM from the Failover Cluster Manager (as you say this did leave the VM configuration intact)
- I was unable to import the VM as per your instructions so I copied the VHD to another folder on the local storage and took a note of the VM configuration.
- Deleted the VM from VMM so this removed all the configuration details/old VHD.
- Built a new VM using the details I saved from the point above
- Copied the VHD into the new VMs folder and attached it to the VM.
- Started it up and reconfigured networking
- Use VMM to make the VM HA.
I believe I have found the reason for the initial error, it appears there was a empty folder in the Snapshot folder, probably from an old Checkpoint that hadn't cleaned up properly when it was deleted.
The system is up and running now so thanks again for the advice.
Rob
