Migrate SOFS Role between 2012 R2 Clusters

I have a sofs role configured on a 2012R2 3 node cluster, and I need it moved to a different cluster so that the nodes on the current cluster can be rebuilt. Both clusters use a CSV. The share that is used by the sofs sits on a CSV (connected by iscsi on
each node)
Im trying to understand the advice here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn659431.aspx
Method 1 is confusing because it discusses migrating virtual machine storage with VMM but I dont see how this relates to a SOFS.
Method 2 seems most applicable, however when I use the 'Copy Cluster Roles Wizard, and I select the source cluster, it brings up a list of role available to be migrated, and I cannot select the single SOFS I want to move. If I check one box, it automatically
checks the box for every role on the cluster, and I dont want to move everything.
Also, im confused about the process of the migration and what exactly migrates once I get past the first issue above.
Should I be running this wizard to migrate the role to the new cluster, then connecting the iscsi for the lun to the 3 destination nodes and mounting as a csv ? and then disconnecting the csv from the source cluster ? or vice versa ? or?
cant find a good guide for this. Any advice or pointers in the right direction much appreciated.
tks

Hi dfgsdfgf,
Could you clarify “and I select the source cluster, it brings up a list of role available to be migrated, and I cannot select the single SOFS I want to move.” If I am not
misunderstanding, are you trying to “migrate” one of the SOFS cluster node to new server? You must migrate the SOFS role, but can’t the node.

Is Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.

All I want to know is if Distributed Transaction Coordinator services of the application role are required by SQL Server 2012 for clustering and support of SharePoint 2013.
I have been planning and deploying my companies first Windows Server 2012/SQL Server 2012 Always On cluster and Always On Availability Groups Multi-Subnet cluster and instances for SharePoint 2013, and I will be brutally honest, the documentation on either
the MSDN and TechNet leave alot to be desired. Continually finding links in the documentation will take me from a Windows 2012 reference to a page talking about Windows Server 2008 or R2, The differences of which there are so many when it comes to configurations,
settings, roles, services when working with SQL Server 2012. I have been confused, frustrated, screaming mad, with all the misdirection in this documentation. The documentation takes me windows 2008 R2 which is different than 2012!
Tired and trying to pick myself up off the floor!

In general, DTC is not required for SQL 2012. But, since you are asking specifically about SharePoint, it would be better to ask in a SharePoint forum. They would be more likely to know those situations where FTC might be needed by SharePoint.

Migrate one application role between two systems (keeping guid)

Hi
I know there are ways to migrate the whole policy-store from one environment to another. On the other hand there is a tool to create application roles via command line.
I have only a set of application roles which I want to move to another environment. The guid should stay identical so that the application roles get automatically applied on the copied catalog.
Does anybody know if that is also possible? I need to keep the guid but don't want to migrate the whole policy store.
Thank you

connect(“Enter Weblogic's Username Here”,”Enter Password Here″,”Hostname:PortNumber″)
createAppRole(“Enter Applicationstripe Here”,”Enter Role Name here”)
P.S: The Application stripe name is obi for the OBIEE set of roles.
I have only a set of application roles which I want to move to another environment. The guid should stay identical so that the application roles get automatically applied on the copied catalog.If I am not wrong, Althought the GUID's can be different after the migration of the application roles between environments, the permissions still stay the same. and I believe the GUID's are system dependent and might be different across two instances. Correct me if I am wrong here.
Does anybody know if that is also possible? I need to keep the guid but don't want to migrate the whole policy store.

Migrating PDC role from SBS 2008 to Server 2012

Greetings everyone
Are there any special considerations or steps that need be done when elevating my BDC running Server 2012 from a PDC running SBS 2008? We are wanting to remove the SBS machine entirely as we no longer need it and could possibly be of use to one of our clients
down the road.
Thank You
Additional Info: We have already migrated Exchange to the cloud and is no longer hosted on our SBS server. The only function the SBS server has at the moment is being the PDC.

If you haven't seen it already you'll probably want to check out
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx which describes the entire process, though obviously in your case you don't need to worry about the Exchnage side of things.
The main thing in your case will moving the FSMO roles over to the new server so the old SBS box is no longer required. There's a link to the process in that blog post, though as I understand it when 2012 is the destination the recommended route is to grab
the roles from 2012 rather than give them up from 2008. There's a good step by step guide to the process here
http://www.waronerrors.com/kb/how-to-transfer-fsmo-roles-from-windows-server-2003--2008-to-windows-server-2012.aspx though obviously the main thing to note is that as soon as you move the FSMO roles you have 21 days in which to complete the migration. After
that time the SBS box will automatically restart periodically (I think after an hour from memory).

Is it possible to have a server with both a 2007 DP role and 2012 DP role?

Is it possible to have a server with both a 2007 DP role and 2012 DP?
A client has been sold that as part of the migration the vendor will continue use the existing 2007 servers as DPs, and add the 2012 DP role as part of the migration - then at some future point remove the 2007 role.
Sounds a bit wonky to me, it would be great to have your insights, some MS documentation or case study - to either provide a level of comfort or give me some foundation to chime in and request they adjust their expectations... I haven't found anything yet.
It's not side by side technically, more of concurrent migration?
Thank's for your insights.

Shared DPs are available if you are performing a migration but that's about it.

2012 Guest Clustered SQL instance - Upgrade platform

Currently I have several working 2012 Guest clusters for various functions. I'm now looking at upgrading my "SQL Guest Cluster" which has 2 nodes (VMs) at Server 2012, 2 SQL 2012 instances, and is connected to shared storage through Virtual
Fiber Channel.
I know I can't have mixed OS levels in a Failover Cluster, which is what is making this difficult.
What would be the best method for upgrading the 2 nodes to Server 2012 r2 (ie no-minimum downtime)?
For a file share guest cluster I was able to evict a node, remove failover role, upgrade node, create new cluster ("name_r2_cluster"), migrate File Server Role to new cluster using cluster tool...however SQL is not supported for the copy function.
Thanks in advance!

Exchange 2013 SP1 mailbox role on 2012 R2 and 2012

Hi,
We have a client who were running the following setup:
2 x Exchange 2013 CU2 CAS servers / Win Srv 2012
2 x Exchange 2013 CU2 MBX servers / Win Srv 2012
Active Directory etc, basically everything else, runs on Win Server 2012.
Due to upgrading etc, one of the mailbox servers has been removed. It is to be installed with Ex2013 SP1 with 2012 R2 from scratch, and eventually also upgrade the remaining CAS and MBX srvers with SP1 and 2012 R2.
So my question is..will this present a problem? Is it possible to have one MBX running 2013 CU2 on Server 2012 and one MBX running 2013 SP1 on Server 2012 R2?
I've read that failover clustering service is not possible between 2012 and 2012 R2, but i'm not sure how this effects Exchange.
Thanks for your time.

Advice on how to better delegate SCCM installation and roles between VMs

Hi guys!
So my company is finally deciding to go with SCCM 2012 and we're setting up our first environment. In the end when all is configured SCCM will be supporting 1000-1500 client computers - PCs and MACs. The scenario and plan is the following: They have bought
a Dell PowerEdge T320 Server. The idea is that I will set up a working virtual environment on this server and later this summer a new, more powerful server will be bought (Better CPU, more RAM etc) and I will import the existing virtual environment into the
new server. The T320 comes with 16GB of RAM, and Xeon E5-2430L 2.00Ghz processor. With this in mind, how would you guys recommend I delegate resources between VMs and how many VMs would you suggest I create or if one is enough.
I was wondering if I would need to create a separate VM for a SQL installation/delegate roles between VMs so they don't become overburdened, for example when users start working with reports and queries, etc. How much RAM would you delegate for the VM(s)
on T320 and then on the actual SCCM server?
I would really love to hear any advice and suggestions :)
Thank you so much!!
Steve

You won't accomplish much with those disks at all, you have to have a way faster disks (10K / 15K SAS) for optimal performance. So you could consider this first setup as a POC like t.rich said. If you're planning to move the VM to the production as it is,
you should very carefully consider the disk configuration you're building. I'd built the new server from scratch and add the ConfigMgr from backup, a bit cleaner way to do it. For the new hardware, you need fast disks and enough RAM.
Johan has an excelent post on disk configuration for ConfigMgr: http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/115/Sizing-your-ConfigMgr-2012-R2-Primary-Site-Server.aspx

Adobe Flash IDE: Migration/Compatibility issues between Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and CS5

Hi,
Adobe Flash IDE: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5
I am facing some migration/compatibility issues between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5:
I am working on a project that has been completely developed in CS3 earlier. When I am using CS5 (Flash Player 9 / Flash Player 10) to compile the FLA files, it is creating some new issues like some customized radio buttons are getting disappeared while viewing the SWF on a web page etc.
So, I would like to know:
1) Is there any migration/compatibility issue between Adobe Flash CS3 Professional and Adobe Flash Professional CS5?
2) If yes: Is there any patch available from Adobe for it?
3) If no: What could be the causes and the best possible solutions for it?
Any help and support would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance!

Migration of orginals between two KPro storage systems

Hi Friends
I have created a document and checked in the originals into Storage category - SAP-SYSTEM (DMS_C1_ST-Default storage DMS (main files)).I have checked "Use KPro" configuration in "Define document type". Now, I need to migrate this originals into a fileshare system, which i have created as a new storage category(ZNEWDMS).How can I go about?
I know there is program DMS_KPRO_CONVERT available. But this program migrates documents from DMS storage(Vault, Server, Archive) to KPro storage. My requirement is to migrate the originals between two KPro storages ie From DMS_C1_ST to ZNEWDMS.
Could anybody help me on this?
Regards
S.Sivakumar

Hi,
I noticed this thread is a bit old, but I thought I would ask anyways.
I have the following situation:
Multiple SAP Instances, each with their own KPRO. A consolidation project to move towards a single SAP Instance. The multiple KPRO's stay as is.
I am assuming the easiest wat to go about this is to ALE all the metadata of the various SAP instances to the new instance. Would the KPRO links remain intact?
As part of the consolidation, Objects like materials and equipments have changed, e.g. Material 100 has changed to Material E100. For this I would assume a Bapi to update all the DIR's with the new Objects? This I am hoping would sever the old Object Link and create the new one?
Any suggestions please.
Thanks.
Freddie.

How to inherit roles between root organization unit and sub units

Hi all,
I have root organization unit and sub units:
->Company
>Department 1
>Department 2
>Department 3
>Department 4
>Department 5
I would like it to work like this that all people from all departments would have access to transaction ZTEST. Most obvious way would be for me to assign appropriate role to unit Company. Unfortunately it looks like roles are not inherit between units like this. So question is how it should be done? Do I have to assign this role to all departments to make it work?
Best regards
Marcin Cholewczuk

Hi,
To activate inheritance of roles between root org and sub org units, you need to set switch HR_ORG_ACTIVE to Yes in table PRGN_CUST. Also proper evaluation path has to be used so that user comparison (via PFUD) creates the indirect role assignment to user master records.
You can modify evaluation path US_ACTGR in table T77AW/ tcode OOAW to include root org and its subunits (add entry for relationship O B002 O) and connect the role assigned to root org to the users belonging to sub org units. Then run PFUD which will use this evaluation path to create indirect role assigment.

Migrate scheduler jobs between 2 databases

Hello,
I'm working on migrating a tablespace between 2 databases on different platforms.
I'm using DataPump for export/import, and I'm using the CONTENT=METADATA_ONLY parameter for the export/import of schema and tablespace.
The schema owner has some scheduler jobs on the source DB, and after the migration, the same jobs appear on the target machine, but the ones with arguments cannot be run - I saw a bug (#5239417) exists on MetaLink on this subject - cannot migrate scheduler jobs with arguments if the above export parameter is used.
Are there other ways to transfer the scheduler jobs between my 2 databases?
Thank you,
Adrian
Edited by: AdrianM on Apr 6, 2010 7:54 PM

is it JOB and SCHEDULE, my guess is schedule
if it's job, then you can use dbms_job.user_export
if it's schedule, did you try to generate DDL script instead of running the actual import and then run that DDL on a side? http://www.dba-oracle.com/job_scheduling/export_scheduler.htm

Sql server migration from 2005 to 2012 (110)

hi, experts,
the database of .net web form application (Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.1025 ) that I am responsible will be migrated to sql server 2012 (110).
the .net webform use the functions from System.Data.SqlClient. should be ado.net
e.g.
public static DataSet LoadByID(int id)
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
try
conn.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["connection_string"].ToString();
conn.Open();
SqlParameter[] aryParams = new SqlParameter[1];
aryParams[0] = new SqlParameter("@ID", SqlDbType.Int);
aryParams[0].Value = id;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("a_store_procedure_name", conn);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
cmd.Parameters.AddRange(aryParams);
SqlDataAdapter sqlAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
sqlAdapter.Fill(ds);
catch (Exception ex)
throw ex;
finally
if (conn.State == ConnectionState.Open)
conn.Close();
return ds;
I cloned the database from 2005, restore into 2012 and change the compatibility level to 110 of cloned database.
I am doing tests on the sql server 2012 from the web application user interface. (changed connection string to new 2012 db)
I found that I always hit this error
any configuration for whole web form application?

Hi delaynomore,
According to your description, you fail to execute the function with timeout error after migration to SQL Server 2012. Based on my research, the issue could be due to the long running tasks or uncommitted transactions.
To troubleshoot the issue, besides Olaf's suggestion to check the connection to SQL Server 2012 instance and the stored procedure using SQL Server Management Studio(SSMS) manually, you could also follow the methods below.
1. Execute that procedure manually using SSMS and check if it takes a very long time to execute and return. For example, there could be millions of rows being updated. If it takes a long time, you can adjust the CommandTimeout accordingly.
2. Execute the following statement in SSMS to check if there are any uncommitted transactions: dbcc opentran ('yourDatabaseName'). If there are any uncommitted transactions, please change the stored procedure accordingly to commit the transactions.
For more information about the process, please refer to the article:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/spike/archive/2008/07/31/timeout-expired-the-timeout-period-elapsed-prior-to-completion-of-the-operation-or-the-server-is-not-responding.aspx

HRMS Payroll: Migrating Element Links between Environments/Instances

Hi,
I need to migrate element links between environments i.e, I need to move my element links from one instance to another.
Apart from doing this manually or using dataloader, what are the other options/best practices that I can look at?
Regards,
Santhosh Jose

We've previously done this successfully using Data Pump to process the migration of Element Types, Input Values, Extra Info and Links - once set up it works very smoothly, but it does require quite a bit of setup so I'd only advise using if you're migrating a lot of elements several times.
Data Pump is just a set of tables and concurrent programs that wrap around Oracle API's for migration of data/setup.
The setup involves getting data into these tables...
Key tables are:
hr_pump_batch_lines
hr_pump_batch_headers
hr_pump_batch_line_user_keys
Using API's like:
hrdpp_create_element_type.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_element_extra_inf.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_element_link.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_create_input_value.insert_batch_lines
hrdpp_update_input_value.insert_batch_lines
Conc Program: Data Pump Engine
There should be plenty of documentation around the net and MoS about this if you want to have a read.
Alternatively you can call the API's yourself.
or, you can have a go with iSetup - we tested this briefly but didn't get too far with it, several quirky issues with loading Work Structure data so went back to using Data Pump.
