Hi,
CentOS is not Certified by Oracle, correct?Oracle Apps 11i/R12 is not certfied on CentOS.
VMWare on this not certified , correct?You can install VMWare on CentOS, then install a supported OS which is certified with Oracle Apps 11i/R12.

OS Migration from Windows 2003 cluster to Windows 2008 R2 MSCS

We want to go for windows 2008 R2 server ( 64-Bit) MSCS by migrating from windows 2003 Cluster ( 32- Bit) . We are running on ECC 6.0 and oracle 10.2.0.2 DB.
Is it possible ?
Is it traditional System copy if so how to migrate the cluster ?
Regards

> 2. If the oracle version is 10.2.0.2 then does it will support Windows 2008 R2.
You need at least 10.2.0.4 (you need to install that version with a separate DVD, you can't install with the normal Oracle DVD (10.2.0.1). See
Note 1303262 - Oracle on Windows Server 2008
Be aware of the fact that the normal standard support for 10.2.x is ending at end of july (you'll have to pay an extra maintenance fee if you continue to run that version) - see
Note 1110995 - Extended maintenance for Oracle Version 10.2
So if you now do a system copy to new hardware with a new os anyway, I would upgrade to 11.2.

MDT 2012 to Migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit

I have used MDT for so long however only for client OS upgrade - XP to Windows 7/8.
We wish to use MDT to migrate from Windows 2003 32 Bit to Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit. All servers are virtual on HyperV or VMWare - plan is to use USMT hardlink Migration.
Is this supported? Has anyone used this for server migration?
Regards, Vik Singh "If this thread answered your question, please click on "Mark as Answer"

Thanks Keith for your reply.
Even is USMT does not work, we are ok. SMIGdeploy will be helpful.
Basically, want MDT to run some scripts on the Windows 2003 server, post which install Windows 2012 and join it to the existing domain with the same computer name.
Then hydration kit to help with the installation of features etc. Also, we would like to take a complete backup to a WIM before migrating.
I am sure this is workable.

Restore Exchange 2007 SP3 to Windows 2008 R2 from Windows 2003

Perhaps I'm being dense, but I had Exchange 2007 SP3 installed on a Windows 2003 Server, and I've used "setup /mode:recoverserver" to restore it to a Windows 2008 R2 server... how do I restore the databases which I backed up with the Windows backup tool
on 2003?
I installed KB974674, the restore tool onto the 2008 R2 server but when I try and restore the backup it comes up with "this feature is no longer supported". Something I'm missing here?

These things marked as answers are not answers.
I have now thoroughly tested using setup /mode:recoverserver and it works fine going from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 with Exchange 2007 SP3, done several installations now without a problem.
"Setup /m:RecoverServer cannot be used across operating systems. A server that was originally running Windows Server 2003 can be recovered only on Windows Server 2003, and a server that was originally running Windows Server 2008 can
be recovered only on Windows Server 2008."
This appears to be wrong, unless someone can tell me why it's right (I haven't tried moving Unified Messaging yet). I've done it to 2008 R2 several times now and also in the other direction, from 2008 R2 to 2003, I can't find anything that didn't work
afterward, although I haven't really thoroughly tested OWA yet, I admit (but it does appear to be working).
I think that documentation is out-of-date as it doesn't mention R2 plus I think it was written before SP3 came out and that paragraph is just wrong.
Basically how I do it is like this:
Dismount databases from the 2003 server and copy the storage group folders to a network location or removable media.
Install the Windows 2008 R2 server using the same machine account that was being used by the 2003 server. Install the prerequisites needed for Exchange 2007 SP3 installation on 2008 R2 (note in addition to the IIS components and RPC over HTTP this
also requires the AD tools in RSAT, which I haven't found mentioned in technical documentation). Install the relevant windows updates.
Install Exchange 2007 SP3 using setup /mode:recoverserver Install the update rollup.
Copy the storage groups into the relevant folders on the new server and mount them. Migrate any relevant certificates (e.g. for ActiveSync).
Obviously then check it all over with the diagnostic tools and check it with EXBPA. The backups are obviously totally different, but really I think you should be using DPM anyway.
To me that was pretty easy to do, to be honest. About 1.5 on a scale of one to ten. Basically install it, recover it, copy over some files and mount them.
Seriously on a halfway decent server I've done it in under an hour.

R12 Cloning from Windows 2003 64 bit to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit

Dear Gurus,
I have a 12.1.3 applications and 11.2.0.2 database running on Windows 2003 *64 bit*. Now I need to perform a migration from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 64 bit. Please confirm if we can directly perform a clone from 2003 64 bit to 2008 R2 64 bit using Rapid clone?
Thanks in advance!

We are in Windows 2003 32bit on Applications and Windows 2003 64 bit for database. This architecture was certified as per Support which we had confirmed via SR.Correct.
BTW the reason for raising this thread is that the clone failed for db Tier at a very first go with the below error where it states unknown OS Windows 2008 R2.

Inplace and side by side upgrade from windows 2003 64 bit R2 contains SSRS 2008 R2 to windows 2008 64 bit R2

Hello All,
   Case 1 -In place upgrade
   I would like to do in place upgrade from windows 2003 64 bit R2 that contains SSRS 2008 to windows 2008 R2 64 bit. The upgrade would be happened at OS level not at SSRS level.
   I would like to know what are the necessary steps should be taken prior/during/post upgrade from SSRS end as we can not rollback if there is some issue with in place upgrade.
Case 2-Side by side upgrade
I would like to do side by side migration from windows 2003 32 bit that contains SSRS 2008 to windows 2008 R2 64 bit. The side by side would be happened at both OS level and SSRS level.
  I would like to know what are the necessary steps should be taken prior/during/post side by side migration from SSRS end.

Before doing anything Take backups .
In case of reporting services..
Back up your symmetric key. For more information.
Back up your report server databases and configuration files. For more information.
Back up any customizations to existing Reporting Services virtual directories in IIS.

Upgrade Multiple servers from windows 2003 to 2008

Hi All,
How could i upgrade all my servers (1000 around) from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2 without loosing system settings, profiles and applications.
Your speedy reply is highly appreciated.

Since Windows Server 2008 R2 only supports 64-bit the first thing to check is that all of your 2003 boxes are running 64-bit Windows. If they are then an in-place upgrade is possible, but if they're running 32-bit Windows then there is no way to directly
upgrade them. Your only option with 32-bit Windows 2003 is to either upgrade to 2008 (which does support 32-bit), or migrate everything to a new server.
Other than that, the question then becomes what are those servers running. If they're running Microsoft services then it should be fairly straight forward, but if they're running 3rd party services then you need to check with the 3rd party company whether
their software (or more specifically the version of their software you currently have installed) supports 2008 R2.
For the Windows services there are some differences, but I believe the upgrade process handles the transition for you for the most part. Have a look at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx which details the process, and goes into the changes for each of the main Windows Server roles, and those things
you need to be aware of. As mentioned in that article, when you start the upgrade process you're offered a link to a compatibility report which will tell you if there's anything on the server which will break or cause issues with the upgrade. View that report
and review what it tells you before you start the upgrade. You may find that some tools, addons etc need to be uninstalled or upgraded before you can start the actual upgrade, but if the report gives you the green light you should be fine to continue without
any issues.
Finally, from the wording of your question I'm guessing you're wondering about getting the servers upgraded at the same time? Personally I'm not aware of any way to do that, but even if one did exist I wouldn't do it. There's too much of a chance that something
will go wrong, probably in some small minor way, but if you've just tried to upgrade all the servers at the same time, when you get reports telling you that something is no longer working you'll have a much harder time working out what caused it than if you
know that only servers a, b and c have been upgraded today, so the issue is likely to be with one of those.

Rman of database under Linux from Windows server

Dear colleagues! I need some help.
I have Oracle database 10.2.0.1, which works under Linux CentOS. I've just set up rman, to backup this database to local linux partition. Now, i want to adjust rman, so it starts from Windows 2003 ( i've already install Oracle 10.2.0.1 client for Wondows 32-bit) server to backup this database to local Windows folder.Could you please answer, is it possible at all?
When i try to perform rman from Windows manually i got this errors:
channel t1: starting piece 1 at 29-APR-10
released channel: t1
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on t1 channel at 04/29/2010 03:07:32
ORA-19504: failed to create file "/u02/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/c:123
bak"
ORA-27038: created file already exists
Additional information: 1

1. You can run the backup from windows server 2003 which take the RMAN backup of your linux server. But this backup can only stored into your linux server.
2. You can't store the backup set of linux server into windows server.

Converting a Database from Windows 2003 Server to HP-UX Itanium

Hi
I have to convert a database Oracle11g (11.1.0.6.0) from Windows 2003 Server to HP-UX Itanium. Both installation are in the same version. I know there are methods to convert it with RMAN ( Restore/Recover converting the database files ) or with transportable tablespaces. Can you give advices or comment me your experiencies on it ?.
Thanks

The RMAN's convert command is going to be needed if the endian format of both the o/s is not same. I didn't check this so please check that whether the source and target are on the same endian or not. If not, you must use the RMAN. If yes, then using transport tablespace would do the job.

SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

Hi,
We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario? I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
We are running
- ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
- XI(PI) Java & ABAP
- SRM (Java & ABAP)
- Portal (Java only)
- PLM (Java & ABAP)
- BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
Thank You
Felicity

Hello,
You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
Are you clear on this one ?
Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
Thanks

Migrate Album art from Windows player to iTunes?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times but....
Is there a way to migrate the artwork from Windows media player into iTunes?
It seems that media player keeps all the art within each album folder which means that I already have the art for albums that the great and mighty iTunes can't seem to find. And I have checked to confirm this - about 700 or so albums that I have art for in media player can't be found in iTunes. I thought that they all accessed the same CDDB info.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You only need to drag something onto iTunes in order to import it, however it will need to be in the correct format. If the files in your Windows player are in Windows format you will need to convert them before you can import them.

Hi,
If currently you are using a Windows Server 2003 as a DC, and you are going to add a new Windows Server 2008 or 2012 to your environment, you will need to demote it first - if CA is installed on that 2003 DC, you will need to uninstall it for demotion.
