Migrating to a SAN environment

Hi all,
I am pretty new to the Oracle world and I am seeking some advice on migrating Oracle Db's to a SAN.
The company that I work for has a number of Oracle databases and their related apps that need to be migrated to a net-apps SAN, I have searched for best practice guides etc but cant seem to find anything substantial.
Has anyone got any good links to articles or doucuments relating to this???
Many thanks in advance
Phil

Migrating to the SAN is no more than mounting some LUNs and moving the database to them. The setup of the SAN is the thing. Here is a place to start.
1. RAID should be stripes on mirrors, NOT mirrors on stripes and not parity.
2. LUNs (LVOLs, volumes, or ??) should be built up of stripes and not concatenated.
3. More than one route to the SAN -- and more than one service processor
4. At least 8 volumes as. Something like
/u01 for binaries
/u02 for logs, alert files, and I/O locations
/u03 for backups, archived redo logs and dumps
/u04 - /u99 for data files
/w01 for online redo log and control file
/w02 for online redo log and control file
/w03 for online redo log and control file
/w0# for duplicate online redo logs
At least that is the way I do it.

How to stripe datafiles in SAN environment

Hi,
We're using Blade servers with SAN(Storage Area Network) environment. Datafile striping gives better performance. But Can anybody tell me what to do in case of SAN environment.

SANs are usually networks of large disk arrays.
Data striping and redundancy should have been taking care of, there's no need to manual configure.

Content Migration into the Portal Environment

We have a handbook of more than 1200 pages which have to be migrated into the portal environment.
These pages after migrating should be able to be edited while in the editor.
Can anyone direct me how to achieve that. I really appreciate your response. Please let me know if any information is needed.
Thanks,

If the source material is in a Microsoft Office format (MS Word, for example) and if you have Collaboration Server, you can bulk upload the handbook into a collaboration project.
Collaboration has a WebEdit feature (assuming you installed it in your environment) that you can use to check out, edit and check in documents in the browser without downloading them to your local machine.
The users would need to have at least Edit access to the documents through project security.

Automatic Migration into a Q environment

Our company has a D,Q,P environment. We migrate to production on a weekly basis. Our company is thinking about automating the migration into the Q environment - so 2 hours after release, the migration has gone from D to Q irrespective of any testing. There is no status change or action by the developer - it just goes. These seems to destroy the purpose of a Q environment to me - it has now become a D environment. Can someone share best practice regarding the operation of a Q environment.

SAP R/3 4.7 SR1 Migration to MSCS cluster environment

Hi all,
We are planning to move our existing standalone server R/3 production server to cluster environment.
I have some queries regarding this migration
Our R/3 system is running on SAP R/3 4.7x1.10 SR1 on Windows 2003 and Oracle 9.2
1. Central Instance has to be installed in local disk or shared disk
2. Is it correct to R3load procedures to export data from old server and import during Database installation
3. Presently our server is running with kernel 640, but for the new installation kernel will be 620. So when can i upgrade kernel immediately after central instance installation or after CI and DB Instance installation.
Give me some inputs
Thanks & Regards
KT

Hi, the best place for your questions would have been the forum SAP on Windows.
However, here the answers.
1) CI must be on a shared disk
2) Right, if you don't change the database platform and its release you can also use backup/restore
3) Right. You can also perform the installation with the latest NW04 installation master

Migrating C/C++Development environment from Solaris 6 OS to Solaris 10 OS.

Hi,
I have several questions. Hope i can get some advises.
I am tasks to do a migration for my current Development environment from Solaris 6 OS to Solaris 10 OS.
Current Scenaros:
=============
My Development environment is on Solaris 6 OS machine ( 5.6 Generic_105181-31 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-2 )
and where i did my C/C++ codings and compilation for my company software application.
We have purchased a new machine Solaris 10 OS machine ( 5.10 Generic_125100-07 sun4u sparcSUNW,Sun-Fire-V210 )
with the objective to replace the old development H/W and OS.
The machine ( Solaris 6 OS) where the software application currently is running will also be replace with a new machine ( Solaris 10 OS).
The Software application is purely C/C++ codings and has no database requirements.
The application is make up of several executables and they utilise the Solaris Unix queues.
The source codes are compiled using Sun compiliers and libraries.
Problems:
========
I did the followings:
1. Installed the Solaris 10 OS machine with all the necessary compilers and libraries for my C/C++ codes.
2. I ported over all my sourcecodes and makefiles from the old machine ( Solaris 6 ) to the new machine ( Solaris 10 )
3. I did a recompilation of the source codes on the new Solaris 10 machine and hit many errors as followings:
"/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/rw7/rw/rstream.h", line 46: Error: The name istream is ambiguous, istream and std::istream.
"/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/rw7/rw/rstream.h", line 46: Error: The type "istream" is incomplete.

"/opt/SUNWspro/prod/include/CC/rw7/rw/cstring.h", line 347: Error: The name istream is ambiguous, istream and std::istream.
Questions:
========
1. Can anyone advise on these errors messages that i am seeing?
2. Can i say that as long i can successful recompile my codes on Solaris 10 , my application will work?
3. Can i simply copy my application ( Compiled in Solaris 6 ) directly to the new Solaris 10 machine and expect it to run properly? What are the concerns if i adopt this approach.
Regards,
Edwin

2. Can i say that as long i can successful recompile my codes on Solaris 10 , my application will work?No. I've seen GNU utilities that compile without error and then fail on make test or make check. A clean compile only means that, a clean compile nothing more.
3. Can i simply copy my application ( Compiled in Solaris 6 ) directly to the new Solaris 10 machine and expect it to run properly? What are the concerns if i adopt this approach.It might. The easiest way to find out is to just move it and see what happens. On a test machine of course.

Migrating to new SAN devices

Hi, we are migrating many of our apps to new SAN devices. There is one system that has an Oracle 8i database on a W2K OS. There are 4 SAN drive letters assigned to this server and since we are moving to a smaller drive configuration we plan on moving all the data via a host copy (XCOPY or ROBOCOPY). We plan on keeping the same drive mappings. Do I need to do any kind or export/import, or (as long as the drive letters are the same) can I just shut down the system, do the host copy and bring the instance back up without any kind of manual recovery needed?
Thanks

As long as you don't change the logical structures (Oracle is still able to find all directories,files ... as recorded in the controlfiles), you can modify the physical side. Even if you would change drive letters, you could use ALTER DATABASE ... RENAME FILE ... to tell the controlfiles such a change, there's no need to export any data.
You may see I/O related changes, but this is another issue.

How to Migrate WSDLs from one environment to other

Hi All,
can somebody please tell me how can WSDLs from one environment be migrated to other environments.
I could not see any option in CMU.
Do i need to create them Manually in every environment.
many thanks,
sapan

As I recall, you can manually move the file data/soap/custom/wsdl_custom.hda from the instance folder on one system to the other. Then, manually choose the option to publish the WSDLs from the WSDL generator tool in admin interface. Not automatic in any way (well, the publishing is kind of automatic) but certainly better than manually re-entering the WSDL definition.
Note that this will not do if you need to merge WSDLs from the first system to the second system. By moving the HDA file you will be replacing all custom WSDL definitions on the second system with those from the first.

First info:
Heterogeneous system migrations (changing database or operating system - or both) must be done by a certified migration consultant with special knowledge; if you do it yourself, you will loose support for problems in, during and after the migration for the target system --> OSS support will be billed separately.
See http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
--> FAQ
> (DB) INFO: DbSlControl(DBSL_CMD_NLS_CHARACTERSET_GET): WE8DEC
> (EXP) ERROR: there are incomplete incremental conversions
> export not allowed
I can think of several reasons for this problem:
- This system was migrated recently to Unicode (using ICNV) and you have not done all delta conversions yet
- You still have tables/indexes in your mass processing (transaction SE14)
- you have inconsistencies between ABAP DDIC and database

Oracle Sparc VMs migration to new SAN

We're upgrading our SAN and need to move a number of SAN connected LDOMs (each LDOM is a LUN) to a different SAN.
Has anybody done SAN upgrades -- we're using an EMC CX4 SAN and upgrading to their VNX line. The only way I see for UFS is to do FLAR (I have many zones in my LDOMs, each zone is it's own LUN as well) and for ZFS -- Snapshot with Send / Receive.
Any other ideas? I know VMWare came out with something called Storage vmotion -- wonder if anyone has done anything similar for the Sparc side of things....
Thanks,
Murali

SQL Server on SAN Environment

Hello Guys, I have a question: Used to run my SQL server DB on local HDs, and we are ready to cluster it on a SAN. DB files will be on the SAN, but how about my local drives? should I keep then? can I just rebuilt the servers and create a RAID 1 for the OS to load, or a RAID 10? what is the standard knowing that the local drives can be used for other purposes, like relocation to other servers (and save money)

Migrate mailbox in Hybrid environment with MDM

Hi,
Just a question. What if i push an active-sync email profile with Intune to my mobile devices and i migrate someones mailbox from on-premises to Office 365? Will active-sync use auto-discovery to find the mailbox again? Or do i have to push a new email profile
to the migrated user?
Does anyone have experience with this?
Thx.
Davy

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn800672.aspx
If you have deployed an email profile and then wish to change the values for
Exchange ActiveSync host or Email address, you must delete the existing email profile and create a new one with the required values.

MAC (10.6.8) users having permission issues with windows 2003 AD and NetApp SAN environment.

I have created a cifs share that is being accessed by Mac users that are part of a windows 2003 AD. When the user edit data and save it back to the share, the security permission are reset and none of the other users can see the new data unless the permissions are refreshed on the windows server. I have found following links that talk about a similar issue but with an older MAC OS. I am using 10.6.8.

This is a 'known problem' as discussed on the MacWindows site, see http://www.macwindows.com/More-on-OS-X-conflicts-with-Windows-Server-Deduplicati on.html
It appears to still affect Mavericks 10.9.5 at least from the lack of any positive reports to the contrary. It is perhaps a bit late but it would have been worth signing up for the public beta of Yosemite and testing that and if needed reporting it as an issue for Yosemite as this will be getting more bug fix attention than Mavericks now.
I would agree turning off de-duplication is not a desirable solution, however other possibilities to consider are installing the standard Samba software on a Mac and using that instead of Apple's SMBx software. This is done by using the SMBup installer See http://eduo.info/2013/07/13/smbup-faq it does not officially list Mavericks but I did see at least one report that it still worked. A second possibility is to install ExtremeZ-IP which installs an AFP server on to your Windows Server and also gives the bonus of supporting Spotlight searches.
Note: You should only try SMBup on a test setup first.
