Lync Online Capacity Planning

Anybody know when the Lync bandwidth calculator is going to be updated for Lync Online. In the meantime has anyone found any good tools for network capacity planning to Lync Online?
Ben

You can also use Lync 2010 and 2013 Bandwidth Calculator for Lync online.
If you have any more questions about Lync Online, I would recommend that you post your question in the following forum:

On Prem Lync - Enable federation for "Lync Online" causes presence fail and gives error when creating groups

Hi all,
We have had Lync on premise for a long time, and have recently added Office 365 Business Premium Plan because we wanted Cloud exchange and SharePoint.
I have found that on our on prem Lync, when we enable federation for "Lync Online" it cause our presence to intermittently flick on and off, and we are unable to create groups in our Lync Client. We get the message "unable to create a group
at this time".
We are also not able to federate with Office365 hosted Lync Online clients.
This seems to be a bug between Office365 plans that have hosted lync licenses and on prem Lync. Has anyone found the
What I need to do is disable office365 Lync, and I have tried to do that in every location I can find (DNS/User settings), but I still have this issue.
Has anyone come across this issue and found a fix?
Simon.

Hi,
Did you do a Lync Hybrid environment or just make federation with Lync Online?
Please double check if there is any wrong configuration for federation with Lync online environment. You can refer to the following steps in the link below of “Configure federation support for a Lync Online domain in Lync Server 2013”:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh202166.aspx
Then make sure CMS replication update to the latest status.
If the issue persists, check if Lync Server update the latest version. If not, update it and then test again.

On-Prem Lync 2013 moving to Lync Online (Office 365)

We have an office of about 130 users, all of whom use either Lync 2010 or Lync 2013 client to connect to Lync Server 2013 (on-prem). We have recently signed up for Office 365's E3 plan which includes Lync Online, which we plan on using in favor of on-prem
Lync Server. Our internal domain name is the same as the domain we're using be using for Office 365 (i.e. "initech.com"). Externally, I can connect to Lync Online (O365) just fine - however, from my Office's LAN, the external autodiscover records
can't be resolved.
If I want to cut all Lync users over to Lync Online and stop using Lync Server on-prem, what do I have to do? Any internal DNS records I have to add to make sure autodiscover resolves to Office 365?
I have the following External DNS records set up successfully - should internal DNS mirror any of these?
CNAME records
Host name
Points to address or value

Thanks!

Hi cllpd23,
Based on my knowledge, in a hybrid environment, the External DNS records should not be changed to use the Lync Online records.
You should recover your External DNS records settings and only add the SRV record
“_sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.com 5061 sip.domain.com”.
In internal DNS server, you should add the SRV records “_sipfederationtls._tcp.domain.com 5061 sip.domain.com” and ”_sip._tls.domain.com 443 sip.domain.com”,
and also should point to the on-premises Access Proxy.
The related articles for your reference.

Capacity Plan with Oracle 10g

Good Day to all,
I've little time working in environments with Oracle databases, I have requested to carry out a capacity plan with Oracle Database 10g for a data warehouse project that is leading the company in which they work. I request to make a plan specifying, among other things: size and number of tablespace and datafiles, projection growth taking into account the initial charge and the charge per week (incremental). The truth is a bit complicated for my inexperience in this kind of sizing requirements we will ask for your valuable cooperation. There are mathematical formulas that allow me to take those projections into account the type of data and their lengths? , There is a standard for creating the tablespace and datafiles?.
In advance thank you for your contributions.

The first thing you need to get management to do is give you two things.
1. The cost to the organization for downtime, rated in dollars/hour.
2. The service level agreement for the system's customers.
3. The amount of data to be loaded into the system and the retention time.
4. What version of RAID or what ASM redundancy is planned.
With that you can start at the grossest level which is planning for database + archived redo logs + online back files.
I generally figure the database, itself, at about 25% of required storage because I like to have at least two full backups, a bunch of incremental backups, plus all of the archived redo logs that support them. And all on separate shelves.
The number of tablespaces and data files is really just a question of maintenance. Ease of transport. Ease of movement. Ease of backing up.
If you want to get down to the actual sizes of tables and indexes the best place to go is the DBMS_SPACE built-in package. Play with these two procedures:
CREATE_TABLE_COST and CREATE_INDEX_COST which do the job far more efficiently and accurately than any formulas you will receive. You can find demos
of this capability here: http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/dbms_space.html.

Lync Enterprise Coexist with Lync Online

hi all,
wanna ask about Lync On-Premise with Lync Online.
I want to deploy one Lync standart Edition in my branch company but in my HQ have Lync Online 365.
the scenario is like this.
- user in HQ have thier account in Office 365
- I have created Lync Server 2010 in my branch company, but before that I try to federated the Active Directory on-premise with Office 365 using ADFS
I wanna know that, could user in office 365 login to m lync on-premise ?
It is possible to coexist between lync on-premise with lync online ?
Thanks,
Rudi

Post is over a year old so you are likely all set but I will post the answer here in case anyone else can benefit.
The reason the same SIP domain cannot be used for both on-prem and O365 is due to DNS. Various DNS / Resource records are needed which point clients to the Lync services' by way of the SIP domain. This can only point to one place, not two places. So, if
your user is [email protected] for the sip domain, the client will look for resource records for contoso.com that relate to Lync and direct traffic to either Lync online or an on-prem Lync server depending on where your
records point.
What you might have to consider (Or already did based on the age of your post) is to implement a coexistence model using Federation and Dirsync. Lots of time and resources involved here but will allow you to operate in both online and local environments.
Hope this helps you or others. I am now in the middle of planning my own migration strategy and this is what I am learning.

Operations are not getting despatched in capacity planning table

Hi Experts,
I am using capacity planning table (Graphical) to level the capacities and sequence the process orders. The start date of my orders are very well in future and sufficient capacities also is available in resources. But when I go to CM25 and select one order and click on despatch, system is not despatching it. This is the case for almost all the overall profiles.
The surprising factor is, this function was working fine earlier without any issues. I havent done any changes in configs which will affect capacity planning.
What can be the reason for this? Any thoughts please?.
One more thing. Is there any option to avoid the capacity planning step if Iam using R/3 and manage it by some other way?
Appreciate your earlier reply
Thanks & Regards

Capacity planning and schedulng production order based on availabe capacity

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to use capacity planning, when the production order is created it takes the order start date as the requirement date. Then when i do he capaity check it says capaity not available. After finite scheduling again it proposes to shift operations by certain days.
I need the capity to be check in MRP and the palled orders to have start dates based on aviable capity, currenty all the palled orders are starting on the requirement date irresptive of avaiabe capaity. I tried using finite scheduling option in MD02 still it does not take in to account exsting production orders for giving dates of the planned orders.
Regards
Abhi

Dear Abhishek,
1) This is Std SAP of MRP, only material Av check will be carried out in MRP & create procurement
Proposals
2) Capacities will not Checked ( consider ) in MRP in Std R/3
3) Your Need can be only met through APO

Bandwidth Utilization Avg or Max for capacity Planning best practice

Hello All - This is a conceptual or Non-Cisco product question. Hope you can help me to get this best industry practice
I am doing a Capacity planning for the WAN Link Bandwidth. To study the last month bandwidth utilization in the MRTG graph, i am seeing two values
Average
Maximum.
To measure how much bandwidth my remote location is using which value i have to use. Average or Max?
Average is always low eg. 20% to 30%
Maximum is continuous 100% for 3 hour in 3 different intervals in a day and become 60% in rest of the day
What is the best practice followed in the networking industry to derive the upgrade size of the bandwidth by using the Utilization graph
regards,
SAIRAM

Hello.
It makes no sense to use average during whole day (or a month), as you do the capacity management to avoid business impact due to link utilization; and average does not help you to catch is the end-users experience any performance issues.
Typically your capacity management algorithm/thresholds are dependent on traffic patterns. As theses are really different cases if you run SAP+VoIP vs. youtube+Outlook. If you have any business critical traffic, you need to deploy QoS (unless you are allowed to increase link bandwidth infinitely).
So, I would recommend to use 95-percentile of maximum values on 5-15 minutes interval (your algorithm/thresholds will be really sensitive to pooling interval, so choose it carefully). After to collect baseline (for a month or so) - go and ask users about their experience and try to correlate poor experience with traffic bursts. This would help you to define thresholds for link upgrade triggers.
PS: proactive capacity management includes link planning for new sites and their impact on existing links (in HQ and other spoke).
PS2: also I would recommend to separately track utilization during business hours (business traffic) and non-business (service or backup traffic).

Setting needed for Capacity Planning.

Hi PP Gurus,
I want to know what setting we have to do for capacity planning.
what I know is:
1. W/C should be set for finite scheduling.
2. In scheduling parameters for process order tick "Generate capacity Requirement".
This both setting are made in my scenario, but it is'nt loading the work center fot that week.
Any other setting nedded?
Thanks, in advance.

Dear ,
You need to have following set up at basic level frist before you perfomr the capacity requirement planning :
1.In OPKP-Define Production Scheduling parameter -Availability check -Confirm Capacity and also Finite Scheduling chekc box ticked .
2.In OPU3/OPU5-Define Scheduling Parametesr -you should mark the following
1.Automatic Scheduling check box should be marked
2.Scheduling Log check box should be marked -generate in case there is a scheduling error due to capacity over load .
3.Scedulinga and Generate Capcity should be ticked .
3.In OPJK Imaintain check capacity with SAPSFCG013 overall profile and set indicator -1 -Release Order -by user decision if capacity is insufficient
4.Work Center - Define the capcity planner group,activate checkbox Relevant for Finite sceduling,on the capacity header define the shift timings,break timings and unit of measure,no of individual capaity, enter formula for scheduling in capacity view.
5.Routing - enter the values for the standard values. Use control key with scheduling and CRP activated .
6. OPD0 and have the following set up : Overall profile : SFAPSFC015 --Inside the over all profile I have the following set up
1.Selection Profile -SAPSFCS013 SFC: Order view, standard overview
2.Control Profile : SAP___C004 : Gen Capacity Availability Check for 1.5 months
3.Time Profile : SAP___Z006 : Gen Capacity Availability Check for 1.5 months
4.Evalution Profile : SAPSFCA013 : Gen Capacity Availability Chek =3.0D
5.Strategy Profile : SAPSFCVER1-Gen Capacity availability Check
6.Period Profile : SAP___P001 -Weekly period
7.List Profile : SAPSFCI001-Production Planing
Check all of them in place .Then you can go ahead with Capacity Req.Planning -Evalution and Leveling -CM21/CM22/CM05/CM07 etc.
Refere the below theread for farther reference :

How to go about capacity planning for storage ?

Hi Experts,
How to go about Capacity Planning? For instance if clients wants to upgrade to new server and new storage and asks us how much additional storage do you need for next 5 years, how can calculate the amount of storage.
I don't have any baseline info about the server of past years. Where can I start and any scripts you guys use for doing capacity planning?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Planned order splitting during capacity planning

Hello,
anybody plese help me during the capacity planning in T.code.CM31 i want to split a planned order and want to assign alternative sequence. how can i do this and the capacity should be reschedule automatically to my requirement date. i am using backward scheduling.
plese suggest immediately
Thanks and reagards
Bhakta

Dear Bhakta
MRP does not perfom any Capacity Requirement Planning .While you are executing MRP with Lead Time Scheduling , MRP proposes Planned Order Dates based on the Routing Operation Timing not based on the Work Centre available Capacity because in SAP Std R/3 we did not have scope to check the finite scheduling and capacity requirement chek .MRP assume that Work Centre has infinite available capacity .
In MRP run , it will give you Detail scheduling of the Operation in Planned Order -Detail Scheduling tab and copied the routing , BOM as master data .When you convert that Planned order to Production order , it will copy the Routing details based on the Order Type denpendt Parameters -OPL8-Routing -Alternative sequnce and Automatic selection -3 option
Thats why we have Capacity Requirement Planning for Detail Capcity check and production order scheduling .
Note : Earlier to my first reply , please note that you have option in CM21 enter sequence number at order level which may applicable to you .CM21-Work Centre -exectute -Select the Order from order pool -Goto Order -Sequence number maintainence
This number( sequence number operation /order ) that can be assigned to production orders or planned orders at the level of the task list header and is therefore valid for all the operations in an order.
Hope this is clear .Revert if you nees farther help

Managing Lync Online user traffic

Hi,
Trying to understand what is the best way to route the Lync online user traffic from corporate LAN to Lync online server and to users connected on Internet.
I see that suggested methods are route it via firewall or proxy
Challenges I see with firewall method are: Routing issue from certain subnets and risk of opening up so many ports for so many subnets.
In Proxy method I foresee performance issue.
Is there any other better method to achieve this?
Can we do something better using dedicated F5 big IP for Lync traffic alone? Is this supported?
Also is it mandatory to open up 50-60K port to have p2p call? Can’t it happen via Lync online edge server?
Please share your thoughts.
We use Lync 2013 on prim with 3 Lync pool in three different sites with total user base of 30k. Each site has dedicated internet connectivity.
Regards
Praveen R

According to your description, I suppose when you mentioned Lync online user you meant the Lync on premises users other than Office 365 account.
The 50k port ranges are required between internet and Lync A/V service.
You need to create persistent static routes on the internal interface to all internal networks.
The Lync Server 2013 scaled consolidated Edge topology is optimized for DNS load balancing for new deployments federating primarily with other organizations using Lync Server. If high availability is required for any of the following scenarios, a hardware
load balancer must be used on Edge Server pools for the following:
Federation with organizations using Office Communications Server 2007 R2 or Office Communications Server 2007
Exchange UM for remote users using Exchange UM prior to Exchange 2010 with SP1
Connectivity to public IM users
For details, check
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj656815.aspx
You need to open 50k port ranges to have peer-to-peer call.

How to use parallel sequence in capacity planning.

How we can use parallel seq in capacity planning?we have two machines which can be run parallel for production ,now how to distribute capacity load? suppose for the production of 100 km,we required 1000 min when it is produced through only one machine.Now if 2 machines are used simultaneously we required 500 min.How to see this in capacity planning?

Dear,
For calculating Available capacity you have options like minimum capacity, normal capacity and maximum capacity. You can select this option in work center-capacity tab for individual capacity category.
With parallel sequence and with both machines you can select maximum capacity option and plan your capacity.
Hope this is helpful.
