Move Publisher backup to new server( Cold Standby Server) ?

We have CUCM cluster consist of 1 publisher, 4 subscriber and have installed a new node like another cluster's publisher(with diferent ip address from existing publisher) . When existing publisher goes down we will move publisher backup to new server and change publisher ip address to new server on existing subscribers.
is it posible ?
Our aim is using new server for publisher down issue.(like cold standby server but diferent ip address from existing publisher)
Or is there any better way to install publisher backup on on branch? When publisher goes down we will use the new server like publisher.

Re: NTP... you can have multiple NTP servers assigned, and only the primary NTP server is used for license MAC generation. As such, I would:
1) set the primary NTP server to be the real NTP address you want to use. This will not be accessible when you build the server with the old servers' IP.
2) set the secondary NTP server to an accessible NTP server. I do this by setting up NTP on the server you serve the SFTP backup file from. I use Meinberg NTP if this is a Windows box, it's free.
That way you can build the server (primary NTP not accessible, but secondary is so it's fine). Then after the restore, change IP address and it will start using the primary NTP server.
I presume deployment type refers to product and role .e.g. a CUCM Publisher, not a CUC server or CUCMBE publisher.

Cold Standby Server for Crystal Reports Server...

Hi there,
We have the confirmation from Hong Kong SAP that Crystal Reports Server 2008 does not come with any clustering feature as Business Objects Enterprise does. We are to set up a cold standby server for the production server for high availability. Below is our procedures to work it out:
1) we set up two machines for CRS 2008 with the same licence key and identical hardware; otherwise we clone the production machine to an identical hardware for a cold standby machine
2) we are using our Oracle instance (same instance for both the production and the standby one) for CRS 2008 repository; we bring the production sever offline and perform the standby server installation of CRS 2008 without resetting the repository Oracle database
3) we are to use a SAN LUN for storing the reports produced by CRS 2008
Once the production server does not work properly due to any hardware problem, we switch it off manually and turn on the standby machine and the Crystal Reports service should resume with no repository problem (all the settings) and no loss of printed reports. We would be grateful if you could confirm the feasibility of these procedures. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Jason FU

Correct, CRS is for a single machine use only, that why it is not as expensive as the full BOE. Talk to Sales to upgrade.

Move ipod/backup to new desktop from netbook.

Hi everyone,
I did a search, but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have been using itunes on my netbook would sync my ipod touch with it. I now have a new desktop computer and want to backup my ipod here without changing anything on my ipod. I have no trouble moving over the itunes library, I just don't want to mess up the backup and sync on the touch. What's the easiest way to do it?

Time Capsule Hard Disk Upgrade - how can I move old backup to new HD

Yesterday I bought a new 3TB hard disk to replace the old, internal time capsule 1TB hard disk. Then I placed the old one in a 3.5" USB case and tried to move the TM back-up from the old HD (now usb connected to the mac) to the new (now)-internal HD of the Time Capsule (connected with ethernet to the mac).
I'm using mavericks, and I followed this guide, but something went wrong and the migration stopped during the night, forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
I deeply googled, looking for a guide that could explain how to complete the upgrade without a glitch, but there are infinite number of guide on how to change hard disk, while a totality of zero guides on how to complete the migration process after upgrading the internal HD.
Has someone succeeded in doing all the process?
System Information:
          • • OSX Version - 10.9.1          • • Type of Mac - MacMini mid-2011
          • • What's being backed-up - 501,74 GB
          • • Backup Location - Time Capsule - WiFi (usually - but Ethernet during migration process) - 2nd generation, Model A1302 1TB (now 3TB).
P.S. Do you have any suggestion for "Impossible to convert __. Installa newer version of iWork." It happens all the time i try to move Backups.backupdb from a USB HD to a new one (yes, I remove the check mark from "Ignore ownership on this volume").

I don't see anything you have done wrong.
The fact that it started to copy the file and you left it running is fine.
Where things go wrong from there is anyones guess.. did the computer just decide to go to sleep?? Have you turned off sleep and any auto shut down. That can affect copying of large files.
Did you verify the sparsebundle.. any error or corruption in the old sparsebundle could prevent it copying.
See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It could be later firmware which IMHO is just not stable.. I would run no later than 7.6.1 in an old TC.
And of course Mavericks.. it uses an major change of networking protocol.. and so it could just decide in the middle of the night that the TC is no longer there.
forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
Can I just say.. this is a better idea anyway.
Put the old disk in a draw.. and simply keep it for 6months and if you never need it by then .. you can wipe it and use it for something else. A clean fresh TM backup is far more likely to work properly in case you need to do a recovery especially if you upgrade installed Mavericks.

Help to move iTunes backup onto new PC

I backed up my iTunes library using 2 methods:
1 - By backing up onto disc (5 DVDs) using File>Lirbary>Backup to disc.
2 - By changing the iTunes folder location (to an external HDD) and consolidating all files.
I had an iPhone and an iPod (5th gen) sync'd to my iTunes.
Now Im confused... how do I restore this music whilst maintaining sync functionality with my iPhone and iPod ?
If I restore the music from the backed up DVD's, will it still work with my iPhone and iPod or will these devices say they are sync'd with a different library ?
If I restore from the external HDD, how do I do this and in a way so that my iPhone and iPod still sync ?
I dont know where or how the files are that tell an iPod or iPhone that it can be used with a specific library.

Do you still have the old PC? Get the itunes database file from it, and copy it to the exHD.
The database file name is
iTunes Library.itl
Then, connect the exHD to the new PC and do a shift-start of iteuns.
Press *AND HOLD* the shift key while starting itunes. Keep pressing until you get the prompt to choose a library. Browse to the ITL file you just put on the exHD.

Move SUP role from Server 2008 R2 to new Site System running Server 2012 R2

Is it possible to move the primary SUP role which is currently running on a separate site system under Server 2008 R2 (WSUS 3.0 SP2) and move it to a new site system running Server 2012 R2 using the same SUSDB? I've moved the SUP role
around before by setting up a secondary SUP (using the same DB) then removing the primary SUP role which causes the secondary SUP to become the Primary but that was using the same version of OS and WSUS. With the version of WSUS being different
on Server 2012 R2, I was thinking this may not be possible since the documentation says the WSUS versions must be the same when creating multiple SUP roles.

Hi,
>>I was thinking this may not be possible since the documentation says the WSUS versions must be the same when creating multiple SUP roles.
As the document indicated, "When you have multiple software update points at a site, ensure that they are all running the same version of WSUS." So the scenario you decribed should be not supported.

Restore incremental backups to new server

Hello!
I am trying to create my database on a new server using rman incremental cold backups.
I have already restored my level 0 database, but i am not able to restore the level 1 backup because rman doesn't find it on the new server. I have transported the level 0 and level 1 backup in tar format from the old server to the new one. Also I have not executed recover copy of database with tag 'xxxx' after level 1 backup on the source server , because i want to transport only the incremental files. Can sb help me on this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Please follow the below process....
1- Take Level 0 backup with archivelog from Primary machine.
Note:- Auto Cotrolfile backup should be set in parameters setting of RMAN
2- Ship this dackup to another machine(Directory Structure Should be same , If directory Strucuture is different then use set new name option while restore)
3- STARTUP WITH NOMOUNT to second machine.
4- connect rman
5- RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;(All backup files should be placed at same location as on primary server , if Location is different then use RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup file'
6- MOUNT THE DATABASE
7- RESTORE DATABASE
8 -RECOVER DATABASE
After this go to primary machine do some updations and take INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 BACKUP
Move all files to New machine
1-STARTUP NOMOUNT
2- RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM AUTOBACKUP;(All backup files should be placed at same location as on primary server , if Location is different then use RESTORE CONTROLFILE FROM 'backup file'
Note:- This time controlfile should bw retored from New backup;
3- MOUNT THE DATABASE;
4- RECOVER DATABASE;( This time no need to restore database again).
Hope this will help
Thanks & Regards

Move MaxDB database to new server

Hello,
I would like to move a MaxDB (Content Server) database from a Windows 2003 x86 server to a Windows 2003 x64 server. I will be moving from 7.5 to 7.6 at the same time. Reading around the subject, this is what I have done so far:
Target Server:
Used SAPINST to install the MaxDB 7.6 / Content Server 6.40 on the new x64 target server.
SAPINST created a empty database on the target server and I added the appropriate number of volumes.
After playing around I used db_active to initialize the target database.
Put the target database in admin mode.
Source Server:
Used backup_start CompleteData RECOVERY DATA to create a backup of the database.
Target Server:
Created a backup medium called Restore and pointed this at the copied backup file.
In db_admin mode executed a recover_start "Restore" DATA
db_online
Re-created the system tables (via wizard or dbmcli)
Questions:
Do I need to apply any log backups here (assuming no activity on source)?
If there were activity on the source and I applied the logs to the target, how do I apply the data that is in the transaction logs but not currently written to the log backup?
There is no backup history on the target server, how does it know how far to go and that the log recovery is complete?
Can the backup history be copied from souce to target?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hello Philip,
SAP Note 1089402 - "Shortening backup history for MaxDB/liveCache instances" is useful in this case:
The backup history of a database instance that is based on MaxDB is stored in the files dbm.knl and dbm.mdf in the run directory (usually, /sapdb/data/wrk/<DBSID>)
You can copy these two files in the new server in order to apply the log backup to the restored database BUT... this is not supported by SAP, because as far as I know there is no SAP Notes where you are asked to do so.
So, the supported procedure is to restore the DB but you shouldn't apply any backup log

Advice on RAID and backup of new server in CAD office

Hi, I work for an architects firm and we're looking to purchase a new server.
Our current situation:
• Dozen workstations running Leopard, on a gigabit network
• Server running Leopard Server (Standard setup), with one 250GB ATA hard drive (17GB space spare)
• Data files are backed up and taken off site each day with a triple rotation of external hard drives, using Retrospect.
• The server hard drive is cloned to an external drive each week, which stays on site, using SuperDuper.
• User accounts from workstations are all backed up to an external drive, which also stays on site, using Retrospect.
• And I've been trialing Time Machine, backing up the data to an external hard drive, but I can't see this replacing Restrospect backup as Time Machine doesn't compress the files.
To the future:
• What sort of RAID setup should we go for in a new Mac Pro server?
• I'd like to throw it all into performance but I'm thinking we should probably use a RAID to replace our SuperDuper clone from above.
• When you have mirrored drives presumably if one fails the other one just carries on doing all the work by itself?
• Should we run the system on two mirrored drives and the data on the other two? Or if I'm looking for more performance would I be better having 3 mirrored drives for the data and one for the system? Is this even possible?
• Is it possible to get the smaller 73GB SAS drives for the Mac Pros? It seems you can only get the 300GB ones, which are £500 a pop!

Keep in mind that mirrored RAIDs require two similar drives preferably the same make and model. A mirrored RAID only provides drive failure protection, it does not provide data redundancy. If you need a backup then you need two mirrored RAIDs using one to backup the other. This is also true of striped RAIDs which only provide increased storage but provide no protection against drive failure nor provide data redundancy.
These factors should be taken into account when planning your setup.
Personally, I would not recommend using Time Machine. Aside from being fairly basic as a backup utility it is not sufficiently reliable in my opinion for your situation. Retrospect is a much better choice.

What is the name of the folders which are your backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer

what is the name of the folders which are the backup of Itunes library? I am recovering from a virus, have no workable desktop in Win XP, but can search and find files and folders. I would like to move these backup files to a new computer, authorize it and sync with Iphone 3Gs and Ipod 5th gen.

I second the whole iTunes folder approach.
If for some reason you have split the media folder from the library files then the media folder needs to restored to the same path it used to have while the library files can be copied into the music folder of your new profile.
If in dobut, backup up the entire Documents and Settings folder before wiping the infected drive, but be selective about what you restore as many viruses drop active components capable of reinfecting the compuer in the temp folders and internet caches. It is much easier to backup more than you need than to discover after the fact that you no longer have access to some vital project you'd been storing in a folder on the desktop.

Move database to the new server

Hello,
I have 10.2.0.1 Standard Edition database (7GB, not in archivelog mode) on Windows2003 server, and need to move it to the new server (same environment). I thought to use OEM Clone option, but it appears cloning to the other host is working only in Grid - and I have DB Control.
I know about manual cloning/recreation, but now looking into export and import option. So I think to install Oracle database on the new server, then import some relevant tablespaces exported from the old database. I will use datapump utility in OEM, under system username.
Is that a good approach ? What rules should be applied to avoid problems in that case ? Sorry if it's very basic question, never moved database before.
Marina

Options for porting the database from one server to another after installing Oracle on the new server incldue
Export/Import using expdp/impdp
Rman duplicate to compatiable hardware
Rman file conversion to non-compatiable hardware
On advantage of expdp/impdp is this option supports reconfiguring the database tablespace/file/object storage layout as part of the migration. Also the adoption of new features like ASSM.
A disadvantage is that using expdp/impdp will probably be slower and involve more DBA work than using file copies via rman. There are approaches to reduce the clock time necessary to support export/import and the work is often beneficial for long-term database management efforts.
There have been threads on this topic before and failry recently. You might want to hunt one or two of them down.

I saved a backup on my iMac. Is it possible to "move" this backup to another computer, so i can connect my iPhone to my new computer and restore all things on my iPhone?

I used to have an iPhone full of all the greatest pictures of my life, the apps i enjoyed the most, and all my numbers to my friends and so on.
Now i have to change computer (The iMac still works) and i wonder, is it possible to move the backup (whereever it is found on the computer) from the iMac and put it onto my new HP laptop?
IF YES: Where is the backup file saved on the iMac?

If you still have the iPhone just download iTunes for Windows and sync your iPhone (do one last sync with the Mac first). To answer your question the location on your Mac for your media is at /Users/yournamehere/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Your contacts and pictures would need to be exported from iPhoto and the app you were using as your contact manager (Address Book, Outlook) The backup file is located at /Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup

Move time machine backups to new drive drobo

I have had nothing but trouble with my drobo 5d, and have decided to abandon it.
I would like to move my backups to a new disk, and have read Pondini's FAQ on doing this.
The problem with the drobo however, is that at random intervals it will disconnect. Once it disconnects, it will not reconnect unless it is power cycled.
So far I've been unable even to get past the 'getting ready to copy 7 million files' stage.
Is finder clever enough that the hard directory link structure will be maintained if backups are copied one at a time?

Sigh. Doesn't seem that you can copy individual backups. Too bad.
However it makes sense. Copying from one file system to another, the hard links would break.

Move just wikis to new Lion server (redirect one virtual host)

I have a bunch of services on my Mac Pro with Snow Leopard Server, including file sharing, VPN, subversion, wikis, several websites, a few webapps, etc. I don't want to upgrade that server right now, but I'd like to try upgrading the wikis to Lion Server and Wiki Server 3.
How could I move the wiki's to Lion Server on another machine? They are all accessed through a seperate virtual host.
We only have one public IP right now (I maybe could get a second public IP but don't want to just for this.) Everything hits my router (dd-wrt device, so quite configurable) which sends port 80 (and most other ports) to my snow leopard server.
One idea would be to have the router redirect another port (8080 or something) to the new lion server, and then put a redirect page on the original wiki address (port 80) to redirect over to 8080, which would then go to the other server. But that's not really ideal because then the users of my wiki would see it on a new port and a lot of times ports other than 80 are blocked by firewalls (not my firewall, but firewalls closer to my users.)
So does anyone have an other ideas on how to redirect the traffic of one virtual host to another internal machine behind NAT?
Separate question: any experience migrating a wiki from Wiki Server 2 to Wiki Server 3? Did it work well?
John

The best way to do this is to take the contents of /Library/Collaboration and put it in a location accessible from your newly set up Lion install. In Server.app, enable Wiki, and run:
     sudo wikiadmin migrate -r /Path/To/Library/Collaboration
After that, start the wiki and you should be good to go. You should bind your Lion server to the same Directory as the Snow Leopard server, to ensure permissions and users carry across successfully.

Move apps tier to new server

Hi all,
here we have 2 node setup
node 1 : apps + db (cm + db)
node 2 : apps (web + forms)
requirement is we want to move node 2 to new server bcoz os team wants to do some maintainance on node 2.
is this possible to move only node 2 (web + forms) to new server through rapid clone n sync with existing cm and db node or we have to move entire setup to new servers
links n MOS doc ids highly appreciated
versions:
apps : 11.5.9
db: 9.2.0.8
os : RHEL 4
Thanks,
Haafiz

Yes it is possible and all you need to do is the following (you don't need to move node1):
- Install OS on the new server + OS pre-req software and packages
- Run preclone on node 2
- Shutdown the application on node 2 and copy the files to the new node
- Run postclone on the new node
- Clean FND_NODES and run AutoConfig
