Migrating a Sun Cluster Running Oracle to New Hardware

Has anyone attempted this? Essentially we are moving a Sun Cluster from one location to hardware at another location while maintaining the same node names. From what I can tell, I need to (on an install lan):
1) Load the OS
2) Configure the IPs
3) Install Sun Cluster
4) Install Oracle Parallel Server/RAC
5) Restore the data on a per node basis
6) Restore the shared data
7) Adjust, tweak, and run
Are there any pitfalls or suggestions on the approach? The shop is relatively new to clustering much less oracle clustering and the original cluster was installed by admins gone bye.

I would say that Apple should be able to update your 36-months maintenance agreement with a OSXS 10.4 serial number.
As far as I know, the structure of 10.3 and 10.4 serial numbers is different (wasn't the case between 10.2 and 10.3) so I'm short of a technical answer here.
Maybe you could try :
/System/Library/ServerSetup/serversetup -setServerSerialNumber xxxx-xxx-xxx-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
in a Terminal window on the server. It's theorically the same as using Server Admin but maybe this could help.

Migration from SCVMM 2012 SP1 to R2 - New Hardware

We want to migrate our existing SCVMM 2012 SP1 to new hardware and then bump it to SCVMM 2012 R2. Our database is on a separate SQL 2008 R2 server. This is what we envision doing to get there:
Uninstall SCVMM 2012 SP1 on existing server and retaining the database
Backup and restore the SCVMM database to a new SQL 2012 server
Install SCVMM 2012 R2 on new hardware and connect to existing database on SQL 2012 server
Does this sound doable? Will we lose anything in the move? Maybe our existing libraries?

Using your steps outlined above may NOT be supported.
Please see here:

Upgrading on a remote computer
Upgrading from VMM in System Center 2012 SP1 on one computer to VMM in System Center 2012 R2 on a different computer is not supported when data is retained from the original installation, and the following configurations apply:
The original installation uses Windows DPAPI. This is the default setting if you did not configure distributed key management during setup.
The VMM management server is configured to use any of the following encrypted values or settings:
Application settings (encrypted value)
Service setting (encrypted value)
SQL Server deployment (product key)
Web deploy package (encryption password)
"Personally" and this is a pain, I would:
Uninstall VMM SP1 and retain the DB.
Re-install the exisiting hardware with Server 2012
Re-install VMM SP1 and reconnect to existing DB
Upgrade to VMM 2012 R2
Uninstall and retain the DB
Restore the DB on new SQL 2012 server
Reinstall VMM 2012 R2 on new Server and reconnect to existing DB
Note that you will probably get access denied messages once running on the new VMM server due to the SID change. You will need to re-associate hosts and libraries.
I'm still not saying this is a supported method, but it's likely it's more supported as it's essentially following DR principals.

Encountered ora-29701 during Sun Cluster for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 startup (UR

Hi all,
Need some help from all out there
In our Sun Cluster 3.1 Data Service for Oracle RAC 9.2.0.7 (Solaris 9) configuration, my team had encountered
ora-29701 *Unable to connect to Cluster Manager*
during the startup of the Oracle RAC database instances on the Oracle RAC Server resources.
We tried the attached workaround by Oracle. This workaround works well for the 1^st time but it doesnt work anymore when the server is rebooted.
Kindly help me to check whether anyone encounter the same problem as the above and able to resolve. Thanks.

Problem statement:
ORA-29701 DURING DATABASE CREATION AFTER APPLYING 9.2.0.6 PATCHSET
*** 03/25/05 07:32 am ***
TAR:
PROBLEM:
Customer applied 9.2.0.6 patchset over 9.2.0.4 patchset.
While creating the database, customer receives following error:
ORA-29701: unable to connect to Cluster Manager
However, if customer goes from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the problem does not occur.
DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS:
It seems that the problem is with libskgxn9.so shared library.
For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.6, the install log shows the following:
installActions2005-03-22_03-44-42PM.log:,

For 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6, install log shows:
installActions2005-03-22_04-13-03PM.log:, [libcmdll.so ->%ORACLE_HOME%/lib/libskgxn9.so 64274 plats=1=>[46] langs=-554696704=>[en]] does not exist.
This means that while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.5, Installer copies the libcmdll.so library into libskgxn9.so, while patching from 9.2.0.4 -> 9.2.0.6 does not.
ORACM is located in /app/oracle/ORACM which is different than ORACLE_HOME in customer's environment.
WORKAROUND:
Customer is using the following workaround:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_on ioracle ipc_udp

Sun cluster and oracle RAC

my client is insisting on putting oracle RAC on top of sun cluster, the thing is i don't know what is the benifit of creating such an architecture, i tries to search on the internet but couldn't understand the benifits nor the advantage, Kindly if some one has implemented such an architecture to let us know the use and the benifits

Hi,
Here on my environment, there is SUNCluster only for single instances. The Clusterware Oracle is complete providing high availability and load balance for your database, you don't need sun cluster with this case, no advantages gained. The only thing controlled by SUNCluster on my RAC environment is QFS (Cluster file system from SUN).
If search on this forum, there are many discussion by this topic (suncluster X RAC) like this post Re: Sun Cluster.. Why?

RAC: using Sun cluster or Oracle clusterware?

Going to build RAC on SUN machine (Solaris 10) and Sun SAN storage, couldn't decide how to build the foundation-----use Sun cluster 3.1 or Oracle clusterware?
Any idea? Thanks.

Starting with 10g Release 2, Oracle provides its own and indipendient cluster management, i.e., Clusterware which can be used as replacement for the OS specific cluster software.
You can still use the OS level cluster, in this case, Oracle Clusterware depends on OS cluster for the node information.
If you are on 10g, you can safely, go with Oracle Clusterware.

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware

Hi,
I am trying to migrate user data on a nss volume from a SLES10sp3 and
OES2sp3 server to new hardware already setup with SLES10sp3 and OES2sp3.
Authentication and configuration of the data selection is sorted. After
starting the data transfer I get a message saying the migration failed.
Below is the error from the log file:
FATAL -FILESYSTEM:migfiles:Fatal: Cannot migrate source path

Hi kjhurni,
I have not setup to get update from the Novell channel as I have an issue
with connecting to the update channel but I will deal with that later.
I tried to run a miggui to migrate my data to the new server with SLES10sp3
and OES2sp3. Below is the entire log file, I have highlighted the error at
the end of the log file. (Names and addresses have been changed to protect
the innocent)

Sun Cluster, ZFS, Oracle

Hi, I'm planning an installation of a Solaris Cluster 3.2 with 2 nodes and a Sun storage array 6140: can I use ZFS with Oracle? It's supported? Which is the best solution for soring datafiles? Do I have to install Volume Manager too?
thanks
Lorenzo

Ron,
I may have misunderstood your question so I'll answer with perhaps more.
- You will need to use the resource type SUNW.HAStoragePlus to automate/manage the failover of the ZFS zpool between cluster nodes. Refer to the SUNW.HAStoragePlus man page for more info.
- The HA-Oracle data service will need to have a resource_dependency against the SUNW.HAStoragePlus resource you created earlier for the ZFS Zpool. Refer to the r_properties man page.
- When creating (or updating) the HA-Oracle data service the VALIDATE method will run on all cluster nodes, however because a SUNW.HAStoragepPlus resource is managing a failover (Zpool) file system, the validation on the cluster node where the Zpool in not imported will be ignored. Consequently, the validation will be successful.
The combined effect is that if the Oracle alert log is located within the Zpool then it will be available before the HA-Oracle data service attempts to start the Oracle database.
Regards
Neil

Sun Cluster with Oracle Dataguard

When I use the logical hostname in the dataguard configuration and go and enable it I get

I use the physical hostname works ok.

Migrate WSUS server from 2003x86 to 2008x64, new hardware, use same name and IP address?

Searching through the WSUS forums and reading the TechNET migration documentation, I have bits and pieces of information to make this a smooth transition...I think. I have a plan in mind but
would like the communities input on what I am thinking before moving forward and having it blowup in my face :). <o:p></o:p>
I have the following currently:<o:p></o:p>
A single WSUS 3.0 SP2 server, running on Server Win2003x86, using the default WID (susdb.mdf) on the same server. I have SQL 2005 Express installed on this server as well for other services
but this has no bearing on the WID correct?<o:p></o:p>
What I would like to do:<o:p></o:p>
I have a new server (a much better one) that I would like to move WSUS on to, that will be running Server Win2008x64 (I have to setup first). <o:p></o:p>
Steps that I would like to follow:<o:p></o:p>
1. I will go through and setup this new server with all M$ updates etc... under a new name (ex. wsusnew) and DHCP acquired IP address and then power it down. <o:p></o:p>
2. Get on my current WSUS server and backup all current WSUS settings, groups, DB etc... to a network location for temporary storage. Then power it down.<o:p></o:p>
3. Delete the current WSUS server computer object in AD, DNS entry I will leave because my intension is to give the same IP address to the new WSUS server.<o:p></o:p>
4. Start the new server, static assign the IP address from the old WSUS server to this new server and then change the name of (wsusnew) to the old servers name, which should be ok sense I deleted
the AD object in step 3.<o:p></o:p>
5. After the obvious restart, the new server will have the same name and IP address as the old server. <o:p></o:p>
6. Now that the new server is up (with same settings name/IP as old server), I will then go through and install the WSUS role on the server and restore my WSUS information.<o:p></o:p>
Questions:<o:p></o:p>
1. Step 2 above, is it possible to do this, without making replica servers? I kept reading about this as I was researching doing this, I would rather just copy the DB and folders and simply
put them in-place on the new server.<o:p></o:p>
2. Step 6 above, restoring of the data, what is the proper way to do this in the scenarioI described? <o:p></o:p>
Thank you to anyone who can provide me some information.
Jeff

Thank you for the reply, I will follow and let you know. Proabably be next week sometime before I'm able to try though. So look for a reponse then. Thank you again.
Jeff
OR...
You can use the much more simple, much more reliable, and much more proven method of:
Install new server as a replica of the old.
Replicate.
Configure new server as upstream server.
Point clients to new server.
Turn off old server after all clients have redirected to the new server.
For everybody that has tried the backup/restore the database procedure described above, they have encounted complications of one form or another.
WSUS has a built-in and fully supported comprehensive replication capbility. use it! :-)

Migrate user data from SLES10sp3 OES2sp3 to new hardware (again)

Hi,
I am running SLES10sp3_64 with OES2sp3_64 and need to migrate the user data
to a new server running the same OS. I have also updated the SLES & OES to
the maintenance pack of November 2011.
The miggui authenticates and I can select the folders for migration. Below
is an extract of the log file error:

Hi,
The log is from /var/opt/novell/migration of the miggui. The begining of the log is about the connection and the authentication to the servers. Which is 100%
I then also ran the "nbackup" command from a terminal with the same result. I don't think it matters, but I am migrating from-and-to NSS volumes.
I have looked at the tid and have checked all relevent points and again, no issues. Perhaps this is a "NCP" issue rather than a "miggui" issue.
Thanks again.
John

I think there's a migration log and a debug log as well that may show some additional info.

...mmmh, so applying a million patches, updates and rebooting a zillion times, still no success.
SOLUTION: rsync the two data volumes,
edited each user and group rights
Using iManager or Console1 ispretty slow, so I used NwAdmin (old netware management tool, still the fastest)
(found some interesting rights allocations, fixed them)
changed login script
and all is good .... erm, watch this space

Is oracle 9.2.0.8 compatible with Sun Cluster 3.3 5/11 and 3.3 3/13?

Is oracle 9.2.0.8 compatible with Sun Cluster 3.3 5/11 and 3.3 3/13?
Where can I check compatibility matrix?

I concur with Matthew. The release notes for sun cluster and oracle for solaris might tell you. oracle 9.2.0.8 is out of support on solaris and I recall needing a number of patches to get it to a fit state ... and that is without considering sun cluster. Extended support for 9.2.0.8 ended about 4 years ago ... this is not a combination I would currently be touching with a bargepole! You are best to seek on MOS.

SBS 2008 - SBS Console and AD errors after migration to new hardware

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to fix some of the errors and random behaviour I'm experiencing with the SBS 2008 console and AD related matters since I had to quickly migrate SBS 2008 to new hardware using Windows Server Backup after a failure of the old server.
In my haste to get our email and ftp services back up and running (which use Smartermail and Filezilla respectively instead of Exchange etc) I overlooked the fact that the new server had 3 NICs installed and not one and so restored SBS 2008 and loaded up new
drivers for those and other hardware that had changed (such as the graphics card and mobo. I have since removed the two additional NICs by disabling them on the mobo).
Whilst I got the server up and running again with email and ftp services, even though I currently don't use any AD related stuff directly I have since noted that if I try to say view a list of users that I had previously created via the SBS console, more often
than not it will show no users, and then randomly it will (but when you do see them you can't edit or delete them. I'm aware that I have probably broken a number of golden rules in doing this 'migration' but having a metaphorical gun to my head meant that
I rushed things out of desperation.
Common errors that I experience generally will say things like 'Current security connect is not associated with an Active Directory domain or forest' if I try to list users, or DC not found for domain "xyz.local' etc. I have been searching the net and
trying out some things to fix this but I'm like a dog chasing its tail as I'm not so clued up on server related issues as I am with workstation problems, so if anyone could at least point me in the right direction I would be very grateful. If you require any
info from me (eg diag logs etc) I will be happy to provide them!
Regards,
Dave

Hi Dave,
Based on current situation, please run SBS BPA and fix all that it can find, then monitor the result. For more details, please refer to the following KB.
Windows SBS Best Practices Analyzer (BPA)
Meanwhile, please refer to the following article and repair SBS console.
Repair the Windows SBS 2008 Console
By the way, I noticed that you had got some error messages (such as: “DC not found for domain” and so on). Would you please let me know complete error messages? In addition, when you migrate SBS 2008 to the new hardware, had you done any preparation for
that Source Server? For more details, please refer to the following article.
Migrate Windows Small Business Server 2008 to New Hardware
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?

I am evaluating Sun Cluster 2.2 for the usage as clustering software within our project.
Can anybody say me, if there is a dependency between Sun Cluster 2.2 and Sun hardware ?
Can I use Sun Cluster 2.2 with other hardware platforms running Sun Solaris 7 and Veritas Volume Manager ?

I have had this discussion with fellow cluster admins, and we think a port of cluster 2.2 could be done to Intel running Solaris. And here is the BUT, BUT SUN does not support anything except a SPARC based cluster. So currently there is definately a depedancy bewteen the 2.2 software and the hardware.
Hope this helps

Apply one non-kernel Solaris10 patch at Sun Cluster ***Beginner Question***

Dear Sir/Madam,
Our two Solaris 10 servers are running Sun Cluster 3.3. One server "cluster-1" has one online running zone "classical". Another server
"cluster-2" has two online running zones, namely "romantic" and "modern". We are tying to install a regular non-kernel patch #145200-03 at cluster-1 LIVE which doesn't have prerequisite and no need to reboot afterwards. Our goal is to install this patch at the global zone,
three local zones, i.e., classical, romantic and modern at both cluster servers, cluster-1 and cluster02.
Unfortunately, when we began our patching at cluster-1, it could patch the running zone "classical" but we were getting the following errors which prevent it from continuing with patching at zones, i.e., "romantic" and "modern" which are running on cluster-2. And when we try to patch cluster-2, we are getting similiar patching error about failing to boot non-global zone "classical" which is in cluster-1.
Any idea how I could resolve this ? Do we have to shut down the cluster in order to apply this patch ? I would prefer to apply this
patch with the Sun Cluster running. If not, what's the preferred way to apply simple non-reboot patch at all the zones at both nodes in the Sun Cluster ?
Like to hear from folks who have experience in dealing with patching in Sun Cluster.
Thanks, Mr. Channey
p.s. Below are output form the patch #145200-03 run, zoneadm and clrg

Hi Hartmut,
I kind of got the idea. Just want to make sure. The zones 'romantic' and 'modern' show "installed" as the current status at cluster-1. These 2 zones are in fact running and online at cluster-2. So I will issue your commands below at cluster-2 to detach these zones to "configured" status :
cluster-2 # zoneadm -z romantic detach
cluster-2 # zoneadm -z modern detach
Afterwards, I apply the Solaris patch at cluster-2. Then, I go to cluster-1 and apply the same Solaris patch. Once I am done patching both cluster-1 and cluster-2, I will
go back to cluster-2 and run the following commands to force these zones back to "installed" status :
cluster-2 # zoneadm -z romantic attach -f
cluster-2 # zoneadm -z modern attach -f
CORRECT ?? Please let me know if I am wrong or if there's any step missing. Thanks much, Humphrey
