Many Physical Servers

Hi guys... my question is... i have 2 Physical Servers.... which VMWare product can i use to consolidate this...so for example
Server 1 has 8GB RAM, Server 2 has 4GB RAM...... i need to install 2 SAP Instances (2 VM Instances) with 6GB RAM each...
Regards
Chris

> the 8 & 4 GB was just an examples... the real situation is that we have many SAP systems & i need to be able to allocate resources & adjust them when required... since we don't have identical hardware i really need to be able to consolidate them before allocating.... i also want to do this @ OS level (VMWare) & not @ SAP level (by having distributed systems).....
If you change the amount of memory of a machine you have to reflect that in the application, means, if you e. g. increase the memory on VMWare for a SAP system you have to adapt SAP parameter to make use of that memory. Otherwise the OS will see the memory but will not use it.
And of course you can run a number of SAP systems on the same machine, one with 4 GB, another with 8 GB and another one with 16 GB - if you have enough physical memory.

Windows Server 2012 Standard - OS licensing for physical servers

Hi,
With Windows Server 2012 Standard, I can install the OS on up to two virtual machines.
For physical machines, how many physical servers can I install the OS on if I don't use any VMs?
Thanks

Hi,
Just to add, each license covers up to two physical processors. If you have more than two physical processors in a server, you need to assign additional licenses for it.
More information, please refer to the link below:

How to 1 logical schema to many physical schemas?

I have a database schema which is instantiated on many different servers. I set up a physical schema pointing to one, and a logical schema pointing to that physical schema. I imported the schema to a model, created interfaces for the tables, and created a package to execute it; and that is all working for that one physical instance.
1) How can I implement that same model, interfaces, and package for each of the physical instances?
1a) Can I change the JDBC parameters at package run time to point to a different database? How?
1b) Can I select a different physical schema for the logical schema at package run time so that I only have to set up a different physical schema for each database? How?
Thank you.

"But if you have a lot of context (for example 1000 stores), you can define a generic physical schema, a logical one. The physical is based on variables (host, port,..). "
Using contexts is working for me, but at least one of my schemas has more than 50 server instances, so this approach would be beneficial. Before I posted this question, I had tried to use variables for the host, port, and SID without success. I used a global variable and gave it default values, but it failed. Then I tried setting the value in a package and creating a scenario, but that too failed. What am I missing?

Using VCM to compare hardware metrics on physical servers

Hi,
I have a large physical server estate (mix of Win, RHEL and Solaris) which all have had the latest VCM agent installed.
What I want to do with VCM is to select one physical machine and make it a baseline, then compare other physical servers to that baseline. Physical servers will be grouped into clusters (per application) and then into tiers (e.g. Test). I want to be able to check compliance of a clustered application against a single baseline physical server, then other application clusters within a tier, then tiers against other tiers.
Can anyone give me a started for 10 on creating a compliance template from an existing physical machine?
Note: I'm interested in hardware only at this point (driver metrics, BIOS etc) - OS comparison will come down the line.
Many thanks in advance,
Cheers.
Jeremy.

If you want to keep the data from the baseline machine(s), even if the machines themselves change, or are removed, later, you should create VCM Snapshots for them.
These are managed under Administration\Machines Manager\VCM Snapshots. The Help for this node provides more detail about this feature. Basically, you first need to collect all the data you will be interested in including in the baseline, and then create a Snapshot to make a static copy of the data in the VCM database that will act like another machine entry.
To compare machines to a baseline machine, or to a baseline VCM Snapshot, use the Compare Machines action from Compliance\Machine Group Compliance\Templates node. Again, the Help provides a lot more information about this feature.

Invetory of all my physical servers

Hi,
I need to make an inventory of all my physical servers (NT, 2003, 2008) and would like to get the number of CPUs, Disk space used and memory per server.
We have many VMs and would like to exclude them if possible.
Does anyone have a script or freeware that could do the job?
Thank you

Hi
something similar:

Hope this helps. Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you, and to click “Unmark as Answer” if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.
This only gives you the drive size though... I need the CPUs and RAM as well.
Thanks

SBS 2003 to Server 2013 migration - How many virtual Servers?

Hi
I need to replace our SBS2003 - we are about 10 users. We use it for:
AD
File/Print
Exchange
SQL
WSUS
Subversion
TrendMicro WFBS
Since there is no current follow up product I feel like I need to setup:
Server 2012 R2
Exchange 2013
SQL Server 2012 Express
I found inconsistent information on how many virtual servers I will need. Is it correct that in contrast to SBS I must have multiple (virtual) servers?
What is best practice for this scenario (# of VM's, "what" goes best with "what", sizes ..)
Thanks a lot for your help .. I have a very good knowledge about the SBS2003 but unfortunately not about the later Standard Server Versions.

Well.. best practice would suggest,
1 VM - DC
1 VM - Exchange
1 VM - SQL
Reality though, suggests they may not be required.
What do you 'need'?, is a better question.
Can you move to hosted exchange?
You can certainly use the Hosted Trend Micro AV product which removes the requirement to run a console on your server.
Perhaps 2 VMs would be sufficient a DC, and a second to host your applications and WSUS.

How many managed Servers do you need?

Hi,
One thing that has come up time and time again, is when trying to think about a new project and a new WL domain, is trying to know how many WL Managed Servers do you need?
Does BEA have some sort of metrics which says ok for this amount of input we recommend you having 4 managed servers on 4 single boxes?
And is there think on have 2 managed servers on 1 box or 2 managed servers on two boxes?
Any Help Appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Alistair.

Hi :-D
I don't believe BEA have guide lines on how many Managed servers are required based on Metrics. You could look at some performance evaluations but it's really only relevant if your application acts in the same way.
Cheers,
Doug.

How many application servers in a company

Hi experts normally in a mnc company for example IBM bangalore,
how many application servers in the company and how many clients
connected to each server.
Regards,
Neelima

Consulting Companies like IBM can have any number of testing servers (sand-box). Every Client operate own their own servers (90%) or sometime they host servers at SAP AG Space.
In general clients operate on 4 serevrs Dev, Quality, Production, and sand-box. But servers can be of any number depending on project size, like clients prefer to mainatin sperate BI (dev, qua & prd) servers for CRM/SRM/R-3.....it totally depends on requirement of usage for client. But yup minimum servers required is 3, though some client also work without quality servers.

Post the source of your information abouit the limit of 9 names.
Even the Oracle doc shows 1..30 names in the same provided although that doesn't necessarily indicate a limit.

How many Physical CPUs Arch Linux Supports?

How many Physical CPUs does Arch Linux Support, the traditional 2?
Can it support 4 or more Physical CPUs, How?
By Physical CPUs I take RedHat deffinition :
Red Hat defines physical CPUs equivalently to sockets, so a multi-core and/or hyperthreading CPU is counted as a single CPU or socket when determining whichedition of Enterprise Linux to deploy.
Thanks

Let's put it this way.
Linux can likely support more cpu's than you can afford.
That is, unless you are super rich..
If that is the case..then by all means.....
....donate!
EDIT: After some peeking around.. I found this.
SGI Altix 4700 incorporates the shared-memory NUMAflex™ architecture, which simplifies software development, workload management and system administration. It supports up to 512 processors under one instance of Linux and as much as 128TB of globally shared memory. Supporting these powerful capabilities is the NUMAlink™ interconnect, which leads the industry in bandwidth and latency for superior performance on cluster applications. The SGI Altix 4700 represents a versatile solution for shared or distributed memory applications of any scale.
Likely SGI has a few tweaks that haven't percolated into the mainline kernel yet (pending or rejected)..But sgi usually pushes the high end mutiprocessor systems..
So.. around 512?

Excuse me ! Can a virtual machine run on the more physical servers ?

If a physical server has two CPUs , I have two physical servers for OracleVM group.
Can Oracle VM create a virtual machine which have 4 CPUs ?
This is a kind of HPC (High Performance Computing ) .
Is it possible ?
Thank you !!!!!!!

Unless this is some trick question then yes you can.
