Migrate ALUI portal from physical machine to virtual machine

Currently the application is on physical machine. We are planning to migrate it to virtual machine.
Is there any risk factor to migrate the application?
Do we need to take any precautions while or before doing migration of the data?
Thanks

Hi,
We've never had problems with multi-server VMWare deployments but just recently hit problems running WCI 10.3.0.1 onto Virtual Server 2005 in 2-virtual-server deployment.
Whenever we started the Analytics, Collab and Notification services, all connectivity (inc ping) between the virtual servers dropped out after a few mins. Connectivity to the external network was maintained and the virtual network was fine without the portal services running. CPU and memory usage was ok on both servers. Stopping these services re-established connectivity.
We've raised a support issue with Oracle who told us that 10.3.0.1 was not proven to work on Virtual Server 2005. Unfortunately we could not pin down the cause and as it was only for Dev we're running all portal services on a single Virtual Server as a workaround.
Jonathan - what portal version are you running on Virtual Server please?
Cheers,
Adam

I upgraded my macbookpro hard drive to 1 TB then migrated my files from time machine. I'm now locked out of the computer because the password is not the same as my usual one and one that was years old and not retreivable. How do I work around this?

Whether or not you are able to recover the data off the drive yourself will depend on if the drive suffered any impact damage in the crash. You can buy USB SATA or IDE adapters (Intel and almost all G5 use SATA) that will let you connect your hard drive to a computer (like a flash drive) to see if you can recover the data. If the drive has suffered physical damage if may not mount.
If you know someone who has one of these adapters you could try using theirs, otherwise you could buy one but you take the risk of the data on the drive being non recoverable. Regardless, both are much cheaper than $1699!
(Alternatively, if you know of someone with a Mac Pro or PowerMac G5 they may be able to install the drive in their machine and try to boot from or mount it and copy the data off.)

How to uninstall portal from windows machine?

Hi gurus,
Can u guid me how to uninstall portal from windows machine.
Also please tell me the installation document procedure or document.
Regards,
Shivraj Chalke

Hi!
This depends on your EP release.
For Basis release 6.40 (EP6) there should be an UNINSTSAP.EXE somewhere in your SAP-Filesystem which you need to run. Take care with the options you have, you might delete even the OS-Users (even on the domain) if you just click away without reading.
For Basis release 7.00 (EP7) you call sapinst and select 'uninstall' under 'Additional Software Lifecycle tasks'. This will guide you through the process of uninstallation.
If these operations fail you can manually clean the system by removing the files and cleaning the registry. This is only a sort of last resort though.

I can't migrate iPhoto library from time machine

I have my iPhoto library backed up on time machine and want to restore it to a new mac mini, but every time I try, I create a new account and a blank photo library!
If I try to get to the folder library in Finder on my Mac Mini I don't have permission to access.
The time machine back-up is from a MBP, and I can access the library & folder from my MBP laptop. Is my only option to restore to MBP and then migrate from there? (I'd like to avoid doing this, because its a 60gb library and will end up taking a few days to migrate twice (once from TM to MBP and once from MBP to MM)

Recover the iphoto library to a different location eg, a USB drive.. since there could be issues with the new photo app.

Error when connecting to portal from some machines

I get this jserver error when connecting to portal from some

I works fine from the others. Any ideas?

I just connect portal from server machine. Help me!

Please, can someone help me?
I've instaled the Oracle portal 3.0.9.8.0 in the Oracle 8.1.7.
From the server machine I can access the Portal, but if I try from a
client machine, a error happens.
If I try only the server machine's name, the Oracle Http Server shows up,
but if I try to do machinename/pls, a error happens and with the server
machine works.
Do someone know what's going wrong? Do I need to configure somthing at the
client machine?
And what about the DAD? Whath do I need to configure?
Thaks for helping,

Pls ignore the previous one and refer to this one, its not identifying greater than & Smaller than sign, I have replaced them with square brackets ([]).
Tiago,
Where is your midtier, I mean where is your Http Server(Apache) is running? Is it running on the same machine where database is running or it is running on a different machine?? In either cases it doesn't actually matter, unless your are accessing the portal correctly.
You should be accessing the portal in the following manner (From any machine, be it server or client).
http://[midtier-machinename]:[Port]/pls/[DAD]
[midtier-machinename]: The machine on which your Apache is running.
[Port]: Port on which your Apache is running. (You can check it in your your setupinfo.txt file, which gets created when you install 9iAS).
[DAD]: DAD, through which you identify your portal instance. You can check it by giving the following url
http://[midtier-machinename]:[Port]/pls/bootstrap/admin_/dadentries.htm
Just double check your settings on the basis of above mentioned guidelines. Hope it should work.

How to migrate the portal from server A to Server B

Dear Expert,
I have existing R3 name A and portal connecting. I have setup a new R3 name B on different server. Could you please provide me the steps on how can I migrate the portal connection from Server A to Server B. What are the steps involve .e.g. ITS and etc.
Thank you
KS

Hi,
The communication between portal server and R3 server happens via system only. If you don't want to use R3 system A hereafter, then look for R3 system alias created for 'A' in portal. You can delete that. Now for using new R3 system B in portal, create a new system for B in portal using System Administration. Decide which SSO you are going to use. If user is same in portal and r3, then logon tickets. Else user mapping method.
Check these documents on how these can be done.

Migration Assistant Won't Migrate User Account from Time Machine

I am trying to move my wife's user account from a Time Machine backup using Migration Assistant. Migration assistant chugs along for 2 1/2 hours and says everything was transfered hunkie-dorie. However, when I try to log her on, I can't. When I log on as me, I went to System Prefs --> Accounts, her username is there. However, when I look inside the Users folder, none of her information is there.
thanks in advance,
tim

No Filevault on my computer and hers.
Doesn't work in Save Boot, either. That is the puzzle. Her account appears at the login screen--even the flower pic. that was migrated from from the Time Machine backup. The login screen will not accept any password. I know I'm typing it correctly. Her account appears in System Prefs --> Users, but it's not in the Users folder on my disk drive.

Trying to migrate Project license from one machine to another

I am trying to setup Project Standard 2010 on a new machine. I still have the license numbers, et al from an old machine. I cannot seem to find a Project 2010 Standard download that does not want to charge me a fee. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I don't believe there are any trial versions of Project 2010 Standard. If you have the key (but not the media) see:

Scroll down to the section on Office 2010.

Is it allowed to rehost a license from physical device to virtual device?

Hi
Can a license on a physical device rehostable to a virtual device? or vice versa?
Example: DC1000-K9 << =====>> FS-VMW-SW-K9

Hi Dhvenkat,
Please let me confirm your response again for the reason it is not possible to re-host.
is it because that with SF in the past, the license key was published to the management side (FireSight), but with Cisco license (PAK) will be published to FirePower, therefore there is no license can be applied (make association) to VM license with FirePower purchased via SF. Does this gap make operation inconsistency?? (then user have to purchase license for VM version...)

SAP ECC Migration from Physical to ESX

Dear All,
My company is moving from Physical Servers to Virtual Platform (Vmware ESX). We are using 7.2 kernel on RHEL 5.3 64 bit for SAP HCM. My plan is;
1) Shutdown all services
2) Clone Physical Server into VM using vCenter Converter
3) change all DNS Base information and update IP address
4) Restart the services on new server with new IP Address
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware. Please suggest me what else i need to consider during this process.
Thanks.

Hi,
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware
Yes you need to request for new license since your hardware is changing.
Apart from the steps mentioned by you,
1) You need to readjust the RFCs
2) Adjust the TMS configuration
3) Adjust the SAPlogon pad entries for endusers.

Deepak Kori

Migrating Address Book from Tiger to Leopard

I migrated all data from old machine (G4 Powerbook) to new machine (MacBookPro), but my address book is now messed up. Contacts are not organized in the same groups as in old machine, and some contacts have multiple addresses that are not correct.
Can I copy files over manually from my old machine to the new one? I know the Address Book info is in the Application Support file, but is there a preference I need to copy as well?
Thanks!

copy the directory /homedirectory/library/application support/address book and the file home directory/ library/preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist from the old computer to the corresponding locations on the new one. Make sure that neither Mail nor address book are running when you do this. start Address book and see if it transfered correctly.

Thank you for the information. The link you have mentioned is about migration the environment of a machine to a VM. But i'm looking for migrating an Oracle Database 11g from a Physical Machine (Linux x86) to a Virtual Machine( Linux x86) created using Oracle VM. Can you help me out in this.
Thanks :)As far as I understand it this is not really VM related.
You have an existing linux machine .... uname -a ... with a partiocular OS and kernel and set of packages installed ....
And a guest VM running linux ... uname -a .... with hopefully the same/similar OS and set of packages installed, similar users, directory layout etc.
And you wish to get the Oracle (Classic RDBMS) home software cloned/migrated and an oracle database cloned/migrated.
There's a number of different senarios here ... can i help you out .... (the answer is I could but i dont have time).
The start point is good planning and careful notes if you are attempting to change any versions / layours etc.
You might have stages like (this is a top of head fagpacket and perhaps not best terminology):
- Install basic Linux software on VM guest.
- Install additional linux packages
- create groups, users, directories, system parameters etc.
- Create or clone oracle home.
- clone oracle database by eg RMAN or otherwise.
Different forums may help different stages if necessary.

Sap Server movement from physical to virtual(p2v)

Hi all,
We currently have two older versions of R/3 running 4.6c and 4.7ee, both IDES versions.
These versions have been out of support for some time.
We have these instances running for reference purposes. We have new versions of R/3 ECC 5.0, 6.0
also running in our company. All these versions of R/3 are IDES.
Our Windows administrators are of the opinion that servers on which the instances 4.6c and 4.7ee are running are very old,
and spares are hard to find. So they want to move these instances from a physical environment to a virtual environment.
I have read through the Note: 1409608.
It says,
SAP does not support SAP systems that are installed on Windows 32-bit
in a virtualized environment. If you plan to migrate your SAP system that is running
on native hardware on Windows 32-bit to a virtualized environment
on Windows 64-bit, it might be necessary to upgrade the SAP system to a higher release.
For these configurations, SAP recommends to migrate the SAP system to Windows x64 first
and then upgrade the SAP system.
Now, I don't think is it quite possible to upgrade 4.6c and 4.7ee to 64 bit.
License keys on windows are based on SID, Hostname, MAC address of the network card.
If we make sure that the MAC address is the same and
that its at the same place as before(sequence of multiple network cards is the same),
we can still Use the old license.
Our Windows guys say its very hard to retain the MAC address, they can try it.
So with these old versions of R/3, how can we keep them running, if they have to be moved from Physical to virtual,
as license keys and installation software is hard to get.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your reply. Would open an OSS call.
I have looked at the note mentioned by you, and since our OS is windows, I thought the below statement
holds good in my case. From the note I have also deduced that for Windows, licenses are based only on the Hardware Key.
Am I wrong in assuming this?
Only Windows uses a hardware key that does NOT depend on the hardware.
A new installation of Windows definitely causes the hardware key to change.
I have also looked at note 793649, which says Hardware key changes only when,
1. Formatting the machine and reinstalling Windows.
2. When changing the computer name.
3. When changing the domain (it will not change back when returning to the previous domain).
Regards,
Vishnu.
