Make a disater test on another machine

Good afternoon,
We would like to test our recovery procedures.
We are using sap on a Solaris server with Oracle 10.2.
We are going to restore our prod server (PS) on a new server (RS).
RS has a different ip address than PS.
RS has a different hostname that PS.
We are going to restore the files, on RS, from a networker backup of PS.
Our users are going to continue using PS during the test.
I would like to ensure that the sap server that I start on the RS is not going to have interaction with my other sap servers.
I have, for example, noticed that the restored tnsname (for COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD) points to the PS server.
Therefore I should change that.
Could you please tell me which files should I modify to avoid interaction with my other servers?
If I do not adapt any files, which interaction are created between RS and PS and my DVM and QAS servers?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

> Could you please tell me which files should I modify to avoid interaction with my other servers?
I would put (the correct hostnames)
127.0.0.2 PS
127.0.0.3 DVM
127.0.0.3 QAS
<other-servers-you-have-connections-to>
in our /etc/hosts files. So even if jobs are started or filetransfers are to be taken place the system only connects to itself and hence fails.
> If I do not adapt any files, which interaction are created between RS and PS and my DVM and QAS servers?
We can't tell you that because we don't know which (e. g.) RFCs you have configured, what other applications are running on those servers and how and with whom they interact.

CD-ROM not detected on notebook, but tested on another machine and works.

I am checking my dad's laptop, a Compaq Presario F700 (F761US). It has a couple of problems, but the main one is that the DVD drive is not detected by Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. The BIOS doesn't seem to detect it either when I put a bootable disc and try to force it to boot from the drive; it only detects the hard drive.
I have even removed the drive and tested on another machine and it DOES in fact work.
I even upgraded the BIOS to the latest version (F.0.A) to no avail.

Hello MysticalChicken. I understand you're having some trouble with your CD-ROM.
First, install those service packs! Those are very important updates.
Have you tried cleaning the inside of the CD-ROM with canned air?
The "whirring/clicking" noise leads me to believe this is a mechanical problem. The click could very well be the disc touching something while it is spinning at a high speed. Let me know if cleaning the CD-ROM has any effect on the noise.
Have a wonderful day and I'll keep an eye out for your reply.
Please click the white star under my name to give me Kudos as a way to say "Thanks!"
Click the "Accept as Solution" button if I resolve your issue.

Make unzip scrip run on another machine

H i all so I came up with this little script. It's very unoptimized and I want to make the unzip part into a function. My main question is I'm copying this zip folder to another machine. Will it actually use this machine to unzip or will the work load be
done on the host that I'm sending it from.
Here's the code:
$a = Get-Content C:\Users\cody-horton\Desktop\list.txt
function Expand-ZIPFile($file, $destination)
$shell = new-object -com shell.application
$zip = $shell.NameSpace($file)
foreach($item in $zip.items())
$shell.Namespace($destination).copyhere($item)
for($i=0;$i -lt $a.Length; $i++){
if(!(Test-Connection -Cn $a[$i] -BufferSize 16 -Count 1 -ea 0 -quiet)){
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor red
else{
#Create directory
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\" -Force
#Move zip to directory
Copy-Item "\\nlcr2553218x4-1\C`$\Users\ttinker\Desktop\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030.7z" "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk" `
-Recurse -Force
#Unzip file

–Destination "\\$($a[$i])\c$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk"
#Delete zip folder
Remove-Item "\\$($a[$i])\C`$\Users\Public\Documents\Android SDK\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030.7z" -Recurse
Write-Host $a[$i] -foregroundcolor green
$b = new-object -comobject wscript.shell
$c = $b.popup("DONE!!",10,"Test Message Box",1)
Would I need to make a batch file and if so how would I do this. Thanks

You'd need to use either Invoke-Command (if you have PS Remoting enabled) or PSExec (if not) to launch the extraction script on the remote machine.

MTM Is possible make an exploration test with action recording on lab center machine (using hyper-v)?

Hi everybody.
I am getting crazy with Lab center. I cant record an exploration test if i try to make it on Lab center's remote machine.
I have follow msdn help. And if i make it on local machine it works fine.
Test agent is configured correctly like "Interactive process".
On lab center, my Lab status is "Ready".
Connecting with lab center to target machine, Test Agent status is "Online" before run exploration test.
While exploration test is running, Test Agent status is "Running Tests".
But when I make click on "Create Test case" there isn't any information of desktop click events from target machine.
By other hand, when i finish there are attachments file with info from target machine. As you can see on the flowing pick:

How do I copy a TM backup to an external HDD with an existing TM backup (for another machine)?

Hi,
My question relates to the use of Time Machine for two different Macs ... I have two Macs: a MacBook Pro (ML) and an iMac (SL). I use Time Machine for both.
Unfortunately, the external HDD (A) drive I use for the backup of my MacBook Pro is on the way out. I am now in a situation where I need to copy this Time Machine backup to another external HDD (B) which I use for the backup of my iMac.
I have decided that I would like to use external HDD B for all future backups of both machines from now on. It is a 2Tb LaCie drive with one partition. Therefore, I would like to copy the Time Machine backup data from external HDD A to external HDD B. Since both TM files/directories have identical names, I am looking for some advice of how to do this without 'deactivating' any of the backups or corrupting them, or screwing with permissions.
In case this is known to be problemmatic, would it be 'better practice' to partition the external 2Tb HDD drive into two partitions, then just use one partition for each backup? Is there an advantage/disadvantage to partitioning the drive? Will this approach make it 'less confusing for Time Machine' and reduce potential problems?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Mark.

Don't bother trying to copy a TM backup file. Just connect the other good drive to your MBP and create a new full TM backup on that drive. I do suggest you create a separate partition on that good drive for each Mac you will be backing up to it.

Not able to connect linux database instance in another machine

Hi,
I have installed oracle 10g database server in Linux, and i created one database instance. and i have added tns entry and listener entry.
I am to connect the database on that machine. but not in different machine. i am able to access/ping linux machine in another machine also.
while creating tns entry for linux database instance in another machine using "netca" i am getting this error.
Connecting...ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error
The test did not succeed.
Some of the information you provided may be incorrect.
Click Back to review the information provided for net service name, or Change Login to change username.
I verified listener and tns entry ( i think for this listener configuration is enough) also. and database is up.
If anybody knows why i am not able to connect linux database in another machine. is there any network configurations other than listener configuration.
Thanks in advance.

yes i tried to connect with ORACLE_SID, its successful. and using tnsname like you said.
Instead of using netca to create the tnsnames.ora entry on the second server, copy the tnsnames.ora entry from the DB server. Then use tnsping to test connection :-i done above but not able to ping the tns name, i am getting this error.
TNS-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

Connecting to a database on another machine, please help!!!!!!

Hi there,
I am new to oracle and at the minute I am using Oracle 9i. I have set up a database on one machine (PC2) and would like to create an odbc from another machine (PC1) to connect to this database. I have set up a listener for (PC1) the using oracle net manager on PC2. what I want to know is: is there anything else I need to do on the PC2 end???? Also, what needs to be done on the PC1 end??? please help!!!

If everything is setup and working properly on the Server PC2, you can just test the ODBC from PC1 (assum you already have an Oracle ODBC drive).

Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine, but I have another machine with just "Reader" installed - is there als

Hello, I have the usual issue to use AcroExch.PDDoc/AcroExch.App/AcroExch.AVDoc objects in Visual Basic (MS EXCEL). On my company's machine I have Acrobat X and everything works fine. I am looking for the cheapest solution to get the stuff running on another machine... is there any way to do that with the Acrobat SDK, or do I need to purchase a full version of Acrobat XI ($$) ?

The Acrobat SDK is nothing by itself. It is just information on how to automate Acrobat - just as the Office SDK doesn't include Office, but is for people who already have purchased Office but want to automate it.
These automation things are MARKETING TOOLS FOR ACROBAT. Consider this and the technical limitations make a lot more sense.
So, yes, you need to buy Acrobat. Standard is cheaper than Pro.

Adding another machine to Primary Zone

Adding another machine to Primary Zone
I have a good split-DNS configuration that has been working without issue for some months now since I installed OS X Server Snow Leopard (Mac Mini) at my company's office. We have another machine used as a file server (Mac Pro), without the dedicated server OS installed.
We want to add a virtualized instance of Windows Server 2008 R2 as a guest OS on the Mac Pro via VMWare Fusion. We want to use this Windows Server instance to host some private web based services for our corporate team (intended to be reachable from within the local private network, and remotely, from the public internet (with proper authorization to access only).
So far so good:
-WinServer2008R2 installed as a guest OS on the host Mac Pro
-WinServer's virtual NIC is in bridged mode (joins the host OS's physical network)
-WinServer instance configured with an IP 10.0.1.33, which is set aside and reserved for the WinServer by the local DHCP service on the same network
-WinServer successfully installed and tested IIS7 - both localhost from the WinServer instance and http://10.0.1.33 from other machines on the local private network (and from remote VPN clients) resolve to the WinServer's IIS default page properly.
Where I am stumbling now in configuring DNS on the Mac Mini to properly forward requests aimed at the WinServer instance.
DNS for the local domain is controlled by the Mac Mini. The configuration has been quite simple up to now, as that has met our needs. Just one Primary Zone and one Reverse Zone. We have an external DNS service from DYNDNS that handles any request for our domain from the external public internet. For now I'm not concerned with altering the external DNS service. Once I get the name service to properly resolve requests for the WinServer instance from the local domain, then I'll move onto matching up the external DNS.
--Primary Zones
Primary Zone:
Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net.
Nameservers: Zone: ourcompany.net. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
--Records
Machine Record:
Machine Name: server.ourcompany.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.11
--Reverse Zones
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.11 to: server.ourcompany.net.
The -checkhostname command returns:
Primary address = 10.0.1.11
Current HostName = server.ourcompany.net
DNS HostName = server.ourcompany.net
The names match. There is nothing to change.
dirserv:success = "success"
So I attempted to add a Machine Record to the Primary Zone with the following settings:
Machine Record:
Machine Name: dash.thewcateam.net.
IP Address: 10.0.1.33
When I did this it added the following Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone:
Reverse Zone Name: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa.
Nameservers: Zone: 1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. Nameserver Hostname: server.ourcompany.net.
Resolve 10.0.1.33 to: dash.ourcompany.net.
And with the following records added I don't seem to have a proper resolution to 10.0.1.33 when requesting dash.ourcompany.net.
I'm wondering where I should look next in troubleshooting this issue. Any pointers or advice would be very appreciated.

Remove the "Reverse Zone Name: 11.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
It's probably left from when you first configured the server.
Though the "Primary Zone Name: ourcompany.net." seems correct.
Then update the 10.0.1.11 record so it's added to the right reverse zone - "1.0.10.in-addr.arpa."
In a MacPro we run VM Ware on a separate interface (en1/"Built in 2") that is forced up using a LaunchDaemon. "Built in 2" must be active in Network config in OS X but don't need to be configured (red "LED").
That way the MacPro can use it's own IP on the en0 interface without disturbing en1 and vice versa.

Upgrading a database from 8.1.7.2 to 10gR2 on another machine

Hello all,
We have database DB1 (in version 8.1.7.2) on MACH1 (AIX 4.3) and I'd like to move this database to another machine called MACH2 (AIX 5.3) as Oracle10gR2 version (Oracle8.1.7.4 and Oracle10gR2 bianries are already installed on MACH2).
MACH1 will be scrapped after this operation.
Since I don't need to upgrade the Oracle binaries of MACH1 and I just would like to upgrade the database DB1 from 8.1.7.2 to 10gR2, can I do the following to achieve this:
On MACH2, there is a 8.1.7.4 database called DB2: I do an export of DB1 and import it into DB2.
Then, I create a new database DB3 in version 10gR2 on MACH2.
Then, I export DB2 and import it into DB3.
Is this enough to finally have the database DB1 change version from 8.1.7.2 to version 10gR2, or are there other steps to take care of?
Thanks a lot for your feedbacks.
Cheers

while for "full" exp/imp we have to pass by 8174 as an intermediate stage.That's not true, you need at least 8.1.7.4 for a direct upgrade using DBUA, export/import doesn't have such a prerequisite.
Despite of this I always prefer schema export/import of pure user data, especially from 8i to 10g there are so many changes (as one example think of the new tablespace SYSAUX,which now holds objects earlier located in the SYSTEM tablespace). That makes a full export not useless, but - let's say - less useful.

Using FTP NOOP to ping another machine.

Hi All,
I want to use FTP NOOP command to ping another machine. But it seems that NOOP is not available by default.
On running ? on FTP prompt I am unable to see NOOP in supported commands.
ftp> ?
Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:
! cr mdir protect safe
$ delete mechanism proxy send
account debug mget put sendport
append dir mkdir pwd site
ascii disconnect mls quit status
bell form mode quote struct
binary get mput recv sunique
bye glob nlist reget tcpwindow
case hash nmap remotehelp tenex
ccc help ntrans rename trace
cd lcd open reset type
cdup ls passive restart user
clear macdef private rmdir verbose
close mdelete prompt runique ?
Hence I want to know are there some specific configurations to perform for enabling NOOP in ftp?
Regards,
Gunjan

I suspect that its your ftp client which does not support NOOP, most FTP servers does.
Try the command
quote noop
'quote' makes it possible to send a command directly to the ftp server, and hence does not require that the client supports it.

Managed Servers on another machine

          I'm having problems getting a managed server running on
          another machine with NT. For simplicity, I'm using the
          'mydomain' that comes in the install. From the
          'mydomain' directory, I just:
          startWebLogic.cmd
          which starts up the weblogic server after adding my
          system password. Then, from the console, I add a new
          machine and a server on this machine. Then from the
          other machine in the equivalent 'mydomain' directory, I
          run:
          startManagedWebLogic.cmd server-2 machine1:7001
          And, it gives me this error:

          I had a similar error when starting a managed server on
          the same machine, but I got it to work by changing the
          admin URL from "http://machine1:7001/" to just
          "machine1:7001".
          Any ideas?
          --Kurt


          I finally got this going, so I want to share it with others getting started in
          managed servers/clusters.
          Apparently, "weblogic.admin.host" and "weblogic.management.server" are equivalent
          properties. After I got things working, it didn't seem to matter which one I
          used.
          Beware of adding a trailing slash on the end of the URL such as
          "http://localhost:7001". I've been trained that this is not a well formed URL,
          so I add it by habit; however, Weblogic will complain about not finding your
          server. Just giving the "localhost:7001" will work as well.
          Whenever changing machines, servers, etc with the console, it's best to reboot
          all the servers. I realize that it should be dynamic, but it doesn't seem to
          work out that way. I'm learning to edit the 'config.xml' which seems to be a
          safer bet at the moment.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!

Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

Windows Service, SSPI, Kerberos, SQL Server on another machine.

Hi,
I have a TCPIP service running on SERVER which connects to a SQL Server that is located on another machine. (SQLSERVER).
The client authenticates with the SERVER using the Kerberos security package successfully.
the 3 machines are in the same domain.
When the service is running under the System account, the connection to the SQL Server machine succeeds (I have enabled the "Trust computer for delegation" option for the SERVER machine).
But When the service is running under a specific user profile (eg: USER1), the connection to the SQL Server machine fails with this error:
Login failed for user 'AUTORITE NT\ANONYMOUS LOGON'
I have tried toadd the "Impersonate a client after authentication" user right for USER1 in the Local Security Policy, but it does not solve the problem.
Does someone know what is wrong here please?
Thank you,
Olivier gg.
(Note: the "Forest Functional Level" of the domain is Win2000).

Retried in a test domain with
Forest Functional Level set to 2008, and figured out what to do.
This page (How To: Use Impersonation and Delegation in ASP.NET 2.0, (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms998351.aspx#paght000023_delegation) especially the
Use Kerberos authentication and delegation part) helped me.
However something remains unclear: I had first selected the "Trust this user for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)" option for the domain user,
but it did not work (Does someone know why?).
I had to select the "Trust this user for delegation to specified services only" option and specify explicitely the appropriate SPN in order to have the delegation working.

Make a disater test on another machine
