Migration of ECC6 from standalone to HA env on solaris 10 and Oracle10g

Hi all,
Currently we are using our ECC 6.0 production system as a standalone
system. Now we need to migrate the system to cluster (High Availability) environment.
We are thinking of taking the export of standalone system using sapinst (we are not
using database backup/restore, as the system is having both ABAP and
Java stack) and using the same export to install the system in cluster
envireonment.
Is this possible? We have noticed that sapinst is having the option of
system copy in cluster environment. Can we use that option? Also How
much of actual system downtime is required for such an activity?
Also please send any standard document for this purpose, if available.
Thanks & Regards,
Tejas

(we are not
using database backup/restore, as the system is having both ABAP and
Java stack)
You could use the backup/restore method even if your installation is ABAP/Java, the difference is that you will do the preparation export steps for Java, remember that the Java Stack is part of the same Database when you have an ABAP/Java installation (been there, done that).
Basically you just need to follow the guide that is very clear in how to do the copy. Of course you could use export/import to do the copy if you prefer so. Either way moving from non HA to HA is completely possible, just need to prepare the system for HA and if using Solaris this will be a matter of preparing the nodes according to OS/HW vendor and do the installation using the copy option.

Migration from Standalone 10.2 with ASM to RAC 11.2

Hi,
I have the following situation:
+ My 10.2 Standalone Database "DB" + ASM (Version 11.2) runs on RH 5.4/64 (Node 1),
+ My 11.2 RAC-DB "RAC" run also on Node 1.
Now I want to migrate the 10.2 Standalone Database "DB" on the RAC-Environment to a 11.2 RAC-Database "DB".
Can anyone tell me the optimal Upgrade/Migration Path ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Normally, if you have a single database in a version and you want it to be converted to be RAC in another version, you will make the following:
1. Backup the database.
2. Install binaries of new version in single database
-- install 11gR2 as stand-alone (ASM already there, you just create RDBMS binaries home)
3. Upgrade stand-alond database from old version to new version.
-- upgrade from 10.2 to 11.2
check Note 251.1 for more details about upgrade path and checklist
4. After upgrade, convert from single to RAC using following link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10813/cvrt2rac.htm (for Linux)
-- of course check your platform link
Then you will have your database upgraded to RAC in new version.
Hope this give you good guidance. Good Luck.

Hi,
nope, we solved it.
It seems that this behavior occurs only under special circumstances.
Scenario is:
1. RDP Gateway connection to our Hyper-V Hosts (We need it for our Windows Azure Pack installation). A certificate is needed to encrypt the connection between RDPGW and Hyper-V host. This certificate is distributed by the VMM to the Hyper-V Hosts with the
private key.
2. Migrating from standalone installation to High Availability therefore migrating from DPAPI to DKM
It looks like that the key or the password to unencrypt the private key, which is stored in the database, is itself stored in the DPAI/DKM.
So when you try to get the migrated Service online the error report in my first post is generated.
What we did was fiddeling around in the database. Make sure you have a backup !!
You need two tables:
tbl_ADHC_Host
tbl_VMM_CertificateStore
1. Go to the table "tbl_ADHC_Host" and edit the key fk_ADHC_Host_VMM_CertificateStore and set "Enfore Foreign Key Constraint" to "No".
2. get the value "VMConnectCertficateID" from the table "tbl_ADHC_Host"
3. Go to the table "tbl_VMM_CertificateStore" and delete the Certficate with the value which equals the "VMConnectCertificateID". Note: Corresponding Certificate in the CErtificatestore table should have something in the column "PrivatekeyPassword"
and an ObjectType of 6.
4. The service should now start and you can reconfigure the certificate used for the encryption between your RDPGW and Hyper-V Hosts, like you did before.
5. Go to the table "tbl_ADHC_Host" and edit the key fk_ADHC_Host_VMM_CertificateStore and set "Enfore Foreign Key Constraint" back to "Yes".
Hope that helps. ;)

Migrating from standalone server to Open LDAP

We have 10.4.10 server that serves DNS, MAIL and WEB only. It is set up as a standalone server and we would like to migrate (convert) it to a an LDAP server, master, I would assume.
Is there a best practices guide step by step for doing this?
Or any caveats from others that have made this conversion?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

As far as what LDAP gives me, we need the directory to provide users to a spam appliance. From there, we're implementing Kerberos for the organization to unify access and passwords.
I did somewhat successfully change the server from standalone to OD. I say somewhat because this is a test machine and the DNS was a little off. Once I corrected the issues, though, and did a bit of reading, I changed it to a standalone back to a OD again, it works well.
However: and this has to do with the user import and export, I understand that exporting from the localNode will not preserve passwords: fine. I can re-enter the passwords. But when I re-import them to the LDAP directory node, choosing to OVERWRITE the existing users, it does not delete them from the localNode. This may be because the overwrite applies to the current node (though they still have the same ID).
So then, I assume I can delete the localNode users since they are no longer needed and will screw up the search tree (localNode, then LDAP,...). But doing that deletes any mail they had. No matter if you turn off the mail for that user, turn off the mail services, the mail gets deleted when the user gets deleted.
Obviously this is a problem since the same user is using the mail store fomr the same user account now in the LDAP node.
So how do I get the users' mail to stay there once the user is in the LDAP directory node? I am experimenting with backing up and restoring the mail to the directory, but I have 35G of it. And cyrus gets a little funky when it's databases are out of synch...
Thanks...

Migrating from standalone ITS to internal ITS u0096 copy existing templates

Dear Sirs,
I am in the process of migrating from Standalone ITS to the internal one. I have found several documents on the issue and the help section for the migration, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/8a424089ff2571e10000000a155106/content.htm
Currently I am using a standalone ITS server, 6.20 PL13, to access/run IAC components on ERP2004 server ZXY. In the new setup I wan to run the internal ITS on server ZXY instead.
I have however a question regarding the process. Step one in the process is to Copy the existing templates.
If I enter the transaction SE80, I am not able to see all of the IAC component names which are referenced in my portal iViews. I therefore assume that the ones which does not show up, has not been converted properly.
I therefore go into transaction SIAC1 to look for them there (as described in ITS New storage structures as of Web SAP AS 6.40, 678904), but I am however unable to find them there either.
Do I have to go the current ITS server and somehow copy the files/IAC manually (save on disk), and then upload then with SIAC_UPLOAD (from se38) onto the R/3 system. Or do they exist already on my R/3 system just that they arent shown?
Could a solution be that the name of the IAC component in the portal iview, differs from the name actually used in the R/3 system.
Any pointers or hints on this issue are appreciated.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Deepak Sharma,
Thank you for your reply. But I have already published the services internally and actually have used the 'webgui' service successfully. What I am trying to do now is to copy the custom services (there are only 2) to the integrated ITS from my standalone ITS server.

Moving VMs from Standalone Hyper-V to Hyper-v Failover Cluster

Hello All.................I need to move Virtual Machines from Standalone Hyper-V based on Windows Server 2012 R2 to a Hyper-V Failover Cluster based on Windows Server 2012 R2.
- The VMs OS is Windows Server 2012 R2
- Applications installed on VMs are SCCM, SCOM, SharePoint, etc.
1. I am looking for a Checklist that I can run through and move them. To make sure I do not miss out anything.
2. Would a downtime be required in this scenario while the VM is being moved?
3. What requires special attention in this scenario?

Thanks for the reply.
So, I do not need to do anything and just simply add both the cluster and standalone into VMM and then simply use the Move option. Please, confirm if I have understood it correct.
Yes. But be carefull. First shut down your VM's
if possible and configure them in such a way they don't automatically start. If you install the SCVMM Agent, some Hyper-V related services are restarted, when some VMs start during that process you system may stall. I have seen this multipe times.
There is another dirty option that worked of us perfectly. Export the VMs. Then import those VMs to a local disk on one Hyper-V Server. Refresh the Hyper-V Server and Virtual Machines on that Hyper-V Server. Give it a few minutes. Then do
a Live Migration while at the same time makeing it "Highly Available" by moving it to your CSV. Works flawlessly. DO NOT IMPORT THE VMS TO YOUR CSV, otherwise you can't change it to "Highly Avaiable" unless you have
two CSVs. Importing it straight to a CSV does not make them Highly Available.

Migration of content from Subversion repository

Hi. I'm trying to migrate some content from some subversion (svn) repositories into SharePoint document libraries. Since I don't currently have .NET-based svn-reading capabilities, I've got my content in another application that was then calling into the SharePoint copy web service. With this I can get almost everything I need, but not quite everything. I want to be able to retain the check-in author, check-in date, and check-in comment from my svn metadata, but I don't see how to force that information into my document library at the time that I upload my document.
So, how can I create a document in a versioned document library that will allow me to supply my own specific author, modified-by user, and check-in comment? I am also not opposed to just buying a standalone product that does this, but I can't seem to find anything like it.
thanks,
Chris

Interesting topic..
We use Tortoise/SVN heavily for our team development.
We use it for maintaining all kinds of code stuff. VBS, C#, PowerShell, IPF, AU3 etc....
It's sooo easy to work with, but the backend is either a file share or an Apache web server.
Currently there does not seem to exist an IIS backend or even a Sharepoint solution.
We have been toying with embedding SVN in IIS/MOSS 2007 since versioning is build in there.
The problem is IMHO the SVN protocol must be implemented in a special MOSS feature and you also need to access the backend trough a web part in order to upload/download subscribe to a repository.
Supplying the mandatory comment attributes can be done in MOSS in the document library settings by adding columns and making them required.
We do that kind of stuff in combination with a special autonumbering feature in order to create unique ID numbers for each document.
I've googled a while about this subject, but there is no real solution in IIS/Sharepoint as far as I know.

Why migrate to RAC

Just to get a taste of RAC I have installed 11gR1, 11gR2 RAC 2-3 times on VMware 2 virtualized environment, I am now ready for actual migrations to RAC but it is not going to be easy. None of databases in our Prod are RAC databases. All databases run on multiprocessor machines which are fairly powerful. Current setup provides some safety from server failure by maintaining a passive server in tandem though OS/hardware mirroring ( I am not quite sure how but oracle is not in picture) .
I want to convince my manager that we should make a move to RAC. What points can be brought up .
In my own opinion any application can benefit RAC if it is to support more users, more sessions (Scalability) . if more batchjobs can be run in parallel then servers can be loaded more heavily. We can use the current redundancy provided by passive servers by making them active nodes and taking benefit of their dormant capacity.
What other benefits are there ? The generic question can be what application will benefit from migration to RAC.
Regards,

Online transaction processing (OLTP) and Internet application environments are characterized by short transactions that cannot be further broken down and, therefore, no speedup can be achieved. However, by deploying greater amounts of resources, a larger volume of transactions can be supported without compromising the response.
Decision support systems (DSS) and parallel query options can attain speedup, as well as scaleup, because they essentially support large tasks without conflicting demands on resources. The parallel query capability within the Oracle database can also be leveraged to decrease overall processing time of long-running queries and to increase the number of such queries that can be run concurrently.- High Availability - because you have many servers ,upgrade Hardware you can upgrade on each node.
- Rolling Upgrade
- load balance
- scalability
- mange database service
etc

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.

I recently migrated my MacBook from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8, using the Snow Leopard CD I purchased from Apple. Since then I have noticed a strange ozone smell coming from the MacBook in the area where the hinges are to open and close the unit. I was told by Apple that it probably is not serious and is coming from the fans in the MacBook. It is true that the smell/odor is more intense when the fans are working. Apple said I should take the MacBook to an Apple Store to have the hardware checked out. Everything seems to be working correctly. I am backing up automatically wirelessly to a Time Capsule, which I had not done until recently, although I had purchased the Time Capsule in 2009. I have not noticed this odor before. Does anyone suspect something more serious that may be going on?

You may be smelling it because with the new OS the processor is having to work harder causing it to get hotter then it would with the other OS. I can't say there is nothing wrong, but what could be happening is just that, it's getting hotter so the fan is spinning faster and moving more air so you are getting more of the smell then you would before. I would still continue to back it up, and take it to the Apple Store at a Genius Bar and have them look at it to make sure. Was the computer ever in a smoky environment??
