Moving to a new SCVMM server and a new database without rebuilding networking on Hyper-V hosts

Environment: We currently have a single front-end SCVMM server running WS 2012 and SCVMM 2012 R2 UR2. We have 4 Hyper-V clusters that SCVMM manages. All teams and vNICs on those hosts were created by SCVMM. We are using a standard VLAN setup
(no network visualization).
Problem: We have some issues with coruption in our SCVMM database that are not fixable and have existed too long for us to restore the database from our backups. We built a new SCVMM server running WS 2012 R2 and the same version of SCVMM. We
copied over the library share contents and made equivalent entries for all aspects of networking (logical networks, VM networks, port profile, port classifications, etc.) in the new database. When I re-associate a cluster with the new SCVMM server it
imports the cluster and nodes successfully, but doesn't understand that the logical switches created by the old SCVMM server are in fact logical switches. It sees them as standard switches.
Essentially, my question is how do you move between two separate SCVMM environments without rebuilding all your network configuration from scratch?

Since your source and target platform all little ENDIAN format. Cold copy from OS level is fastest and easiest way.
If you plan to reorg the tablespace along the way, you have to do export/import, use data pump since you are on 10g.

AirPort Extreme extends my network and has worked well for three months. Now it can no longer extend the network and flashes Amber. I have restored to factory settings moved it closer to time capsule and rebooted the system without luck

i have a blinking Amber on my extreme now and it cannot extend the network. It was working fine and nothing has changed. I have restored to factory settings moved it to another room and rebooted the system without luck. Any suggestions

What OS are you running?
Please give me a screenshot of the current AE setup..
I strongly recommend if you have issues.. take control of all the variables. Apple routers have too much auto..
Here is a list that I use for setups when using Yosemite.. but it relates to any OS.
You will need to factory reset again to get going.
Factory reset universal
Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite or whatever you are using.
1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
eg AEgen5 for basestation.
Use AE24ghz and AE5ghz for wireless on each band, with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for router but if the AE is bridged you can have trouble.. Try using the static IP method or control it via the main router dhcp reservations.
4. Check your share name on the computer/s is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
6. Set up the extend to the Express using 2.4ghz and then see how good or bad the connection is.. this is better in the old v5 utility but if you hover your mouse over where it shows connection an extra chunk of info comes up.
I have specifically used 5ghz to make the extend.. because by testing it works better.. but do not be fooled.. this good connection is poor.. the RSSI.. which is difference signal .. at -79dbm is down the bottom of the stable.. and it drops out on a daily basis.. you want to see that signal around -60dbm at min.
There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.

Moving to a new Mac - without an optical drive

I'm sure this would have been covered before, but I can't find anything recent.
I have got a new iMac, without an optical drive. I have CS6 Design Standard as a boxed set and I have it installed on my old iMac. I want to leave it on the old iMac but also install it on the new iMac, but how do I install it without the drive?
I have read that I can download CS6 as a trial and then activate it with my serial number, but I'm not sure whether that is still a valid option since the Adobe's move with Creative Cloud? I'd prefer not to have to download it all again and chew through a large chunk of my monthly download allowance.
Ideally I'd prefer to be able to copy the contents of the disks that I have onto a USB drive and get it across to the new iMac that way, but I'm not sure if that is possible, or recommended.
So, what are my options?
TIA

Hi Tia,
yes you can copy the contents of the disks on USB and then can install on your new iMac.
However you can also download CS 6 applications by going here : http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
Make sure you follow all steps before downoading.

Moving to a new iPhone without iTunes

My friend just bought a new iPhone. He had been syncing it for awhile to his old PC, which is now just dead in the water. He got a new iPhone and wants to move his data (contacts etc) to the new iPhone, without iTunes.
He doesn't have an iCloud account yet, so I *think* he can just make an iCloud account on his old iPhone, turn on syncing, then go to the new iPhone and do the same.
If not, then I have a Mac with iTunes. I can make a new user account for him, and then plug in the iPhone and I *think* backup the iPhone to iTunes.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

You cannot get back all content, but you can get some. See this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 combined with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

Get mails from server and put into DB without allocating memory.

Hi all
I have a application that downloads the mails from the mail server and then write them to the DB.
I am using folder.getMessage method to get the mails from server.
is there a way using which I can have a function that acts as a pipe between my server and DB and write the mails without consuming the memory.
(may be something to do with getInputByteStream/getOutputByteStream or getInputStream and setBinaryStream 'preparedStatement interface ')
Thanks

Can a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) be Implemented Between Two Hyper-V Hosted Virtual Machines?

I haven't had the opportunity to implement a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) for over 10 years and that was done with two physical, identical database servers way back in the day of Windows Server 2003 and SQL Server 2000 (old school).
Can a SQL Server 2008 R2 Failover Cluster Instance (FCI) be implemented between two Hyper-V hosted virtual machines? The environment in question already has Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V hosts in place, so I'm just looking to see if this is even
possible and/or supported when utilizing virtual machines.
The client in question is currently using SQL Server 2008 R2 instances running on Win2008R2, Win2012, and Win2012R2, but I'd also be interested how this can be done or not with SQL Server 2012 or 2014 as well. Thanks in advance.
Bill Thacker

Yes, it can be done with Hyper-V guests. In fact, with Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V, guests can use the Shared VHDX feature for shared storage used by Windows clusters. The guests can run Windows Server 2008 and higher provided that the Hyper-V Integration
Services are installed to support Shared VHDX. The only challenge here is making the Hyper-V hosts highly available as well, running it on WSFC.

How Do I Duplicate a NOARCHIVELOG to another server and change the database

I have two servers each with a different copy of the same database.. we'll call the database POPEYE
server A has a STAGE version of POPEYE that is in NOARCHIVELOG mode
server B has the PRODUCTION version of POPEYE
I need to get the database on server A and copy it to run next to the existing database on server B.
since they have the same name, i need to change the name to POPEYESTAGE when I move it over.
both running Windows Server 2008. both running Oracle 10g.
I tried shutting down the database on server A, copying over the files with a new PFile and ran the CREATE CONTROLFILE script into the trace and took out all the junk, but I cannot connect to execute it.
I copied all the files over and when I try to commect as sysdba using sqlplus i get TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.
i tried adding it to the listener and TNS names files, but it didnt work.
I'm trying RMAN now with some difficulty.
I am brand new to Oracle administration, this is my first administrative assignment. Please advise

In the future, ALWAYS use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle actually responds.There's nothing to copy paste, I clicked with my mouse and dragged to copy the files.
I obtained a CREATE CONTROLFILE script the standard way -- ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE.
so here I stand with the script in hand. BUT, I cannot connect to the database to execute it, because I get the error I stated "TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified."
I copied all the files over and when I try to commect as sysdba using sqlplus i get TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified.CURIOUS, since connecting to local DB does not require SQL*Net.I do not know what SQL*Net is. I did not use SQL*Net. I am in the DOS style commandline prompt using sqlplus.exe
i tried adding it to the listener and TNS names files, but it didnt work.My car didn't work.
Tell me how to make my car go .
Is COPY & PASTE broken for you?I used it above, but here it is again.. actually got a different error message this time:
ERROR:
ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
I'm trying RMAN now with some difficulty.I bet you did not bother to Read The Fine Manual.I took a course a week ago. I am reading the manual and following the instructions. Duplicating databases is not very clearly documented.
Plus it's a test database that the users turned into a production database, so it is in noarchivelog mode, so earlier I was not able to shutdown the database so RMAN could not back it up.
The situation I am dealing with with fairly obscure.

Moving backups to new drive -- without using disk utility restore

Hello,
I have done some research on this already but I don't believe I've found the solution. I just bought a new media / backup hard drive, and I've moved my itunes library (over 100 GBs) to this drive. Now I have researched how to move the time machine backups to this drive, and know you can't just copy the files.
The instructions I've received tell me to use the disk utility to restore the old time machine backup drive to the new drive, however if I do that won't I lose the iTunes stuff currently on that drive?
Is there an easier way to move that data without me transferring the iTunes back to my laptop, and then restoring through disk utility, and then re-transferring the iTunes again?
thanks,
James

yes, you will. but it is also a VERY bad idea to keep other data on the same partition as the TM backup. first, this data will not be backed up by TM. if you value your itunes data you should have it backed up. also, TM is very buggy and there are too many situations when you need to delete existing TM backups and start from scratch. this should be done by erasing the entire TM partition. you should never delete any TM backups from finder. also, TM will eventually fill up the entire partition with TM backup. it will start bumping up against other data on the partition and you won't be able to put anything else on it.
the upshot is that you should make a separate partition just for TM. don't keep any other data on that partition. you can add a partition to the drive without disturbing your itunes data. type "create new volumes" in disk utility help to see how. however, that's not a good idea IMO as you'll have both the itunes data and the TM backups on the same physical drive. when the drive fails (and it will eventually) you'll loose everything.
Is there an easier way to move that data without me transferring the iTunes back to my laptop, and then restoring through disk utility, and then re-transferring the iTunes again?

We have a Exchange 2013 server and the Mailbox Database folder is filling up with .log files.

We are migrating from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013. We have installed the Exchange 2013 but it only has a couple of mailboxes on this server, all the mailboxes are still on the Exchange 2010 server.
I have run a Windows Backup of the Exchange 2013 but I am still seeing a ton a log files in the mailbox folder.
Also the database file is only about 1.1 GB but the backup is now 40 GB.
Is there something that can be done to truncate these logs and make the backup smaller?

Hi ,
1.Does the full backup completed successfully ?
2.what about the status for the below mentioned command ? Does the mailbox database headers updated with the latest time and date ?
Get-MailboxDatabase -Status | ft name,*full* -au
3.Just check the application event logs for the event id
2046 and that should state that the log truncation for the mailbox databases has been initiated or not.
4.Before initiating the backup just make the exchange writer is not on error.
vssadmin list writers
In case if it on error state ,please restart the Microsoft exchange replication service and check the exchange writers status again by using the above mentioned command.
Thanks & Regards S.Nithyanandham

Can I use ATV(2) and Airplay from iPad without a network?

I'm going on holiday to a rented villa which has a TV (which I assume has an HDMI port) but there is no internet connection, therefore no router or local WiFi network. I'd like to be able to play content from my iPad and/or iPhone via Airplay on the TV using my AppleTV (2) (which I could easily take with me).
However, experimenting at home, it seems that ATV won't do anything at all unless connected to a WiFi network. Airplay works fine even if the network is not connected to the internet; even purchased content seems to be ok (but DRM free - I haven't bought any non-DRM-free music). However, without a separate WiFi router, ATV doesn't seem to do anything. In particular, my iPad doesn't "see" it, and can't connect to it, unless both are connected to an existing network.
I don't understand why this should be so. Should it not be possible to connect two WiFi devices (eg iPad and ATV) to each other without needing a router?
I can get it to work if I use my MBP to set up a WiFi network by using Internet Sharing to share my (non-existent) ethernet connection using Airport. Airplay then works between my iPad and ATV. However, this is a rather clumsy arrangement - I'd been hoping I wouldn't need to take my MBP with me for that week.
So, am I doing anything wrong, or is this (Airplay from iPad to ATV without a router) just something ATV can't do? And is it "can't do" (ie ATV has the wrong chipset or something) or "won't do" (ie Apple have set it up so it won't work like this)? And if it's "won't do", any chance Apple will provide this functionality in the future?
Message was edited by: Doug the Mac
After submitting this, I found an answer to a similar question last December (Can I create an ad-hoc (WiFi) network between my iPhone and Apple TV?); basically saying that you need the router; but I'll leave this as a question (a) to help others find it, because I looked before I submitted and didn't find a relevant discussion and (b) just in case someone else has a better idea......

You could take the airport and setup a wifi network without Internet. The atv2 can connect without Internet access to a wifi network setup with a router. Be patient when it connects, it tries to establish an Internet connection and it takes a while to find there isn't one!! Eventually it offers to connect without Internet. Once connected you can stream to it as usual. One word of caution - don't disable home sharing, if you do and re-activate it the atv2 seems to need an Internet connection to verify your account.
I did precisely this recently when I had to wait for a couple of weeks for Internet to be connected at my new house.
But, you need the router - unlike iPhone, iPad etc the atv2 will not connect to an ad hoc network.

Moving to new server and from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 at the same time

I have 2 11.2.0.1 databases running on windows server 2008, and am moving them to a VMware server running the same OS.
While I am doing this, I figure I may as well apply the 11.2.0.3 patch by installing it on the new server and upgrading the databases.
I've yet to do an "out of place" patch, so I'm assuming I can do the following:
Install 11.2.0.3 on the new server running the setup.exe -downloadUpdates command, copy backed up datafiles (from online or offiline backups) over from current prod databases, restore them with rebuild controlfile & open database, then shut down and do startup upgrade?
Or would it be a better practice to create the databases on the new server and just do full imports?
thanks in advance.

Thanks - since the first one I am moving over is a test database, I just created the instance on the new server, shutdown the source test database then copied sp & control files & datafile directory structure over with data files, and decided to try DBUA rather than startup upgrade. Right now it's about 1/2 way through the upgrade so we'll see how it goes.
For the production database I am going to first try my cloning technique then do a startup upgrade or use DBUA. What I'm thinking about doing is copying my last (user managed) online backup over (after creating the instance & directories), doing a startup no mount, rebuild the controlfile to reflect any changes, recover with backup controlfile & apply latest redo, open with resetlogs then shutdown and startup upgrade (or DBUA).
If that works well that's probably the way I'll do the actual production roll over this way, but leave it in recover mode until I shutdown the old database and apply the last redolog, then upgrade it.
I suppose that given these databases are relatively small I could also do the upgrade first then just drop the schemas with tables in them and do a schema level impdp.

Moving entire portal instance to new database

Does anyone have scripts for exporting/importing an entire portal instance? I'm moving my development database from Windows NT to a Sun box, and since I can't move the database directly I need to do a full portal export/import of all portal contents (pages, applications, content areas, etc.).
Thanks in advance.
Cecil...

Hi Cecil,
I have found the portal export/import routines to be a bit buggy. Try it with care. In moving from NT to Sun I have trusted the full database export/import and it worked out just fine.
On the Sun database just drop all the portal users (including portal30, portal30_sso, etc.). Then do a full database import on the Sun from the NT export. An important final note is to run the "ssodatan.sh" script to point to your new server.
Hope this helps.
Bob Bob,
Would you consider talking with me about this? I have a couple questions, like, if I'm moving to a new database then I won't have a PORTAL30 or PORTAL30_SSO to drop befoe the import, or do I install Portal into the new DB, then drop the users, then impoer, etc. If you can discuss this, please send contact info to [email protected]
Thanks!

Need to create a virtual server and give its access to another admin

Dear Sir,
I am a new admin and have 5 Blade server "HP ProLiant BL660c Gen8".
I access these servers through HP enclosure.
I have to install Hyper-V on server 1 which consisted of the OS windows server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition.
I created a plan to create 5 Hyper-V VM's on the physical server and I requested the IT department network Admin that I want these 5 VM's to able to connect to each other.
The network Admin created a Trunking configuration on the physical server and after this setup he provided me Hyper-v node IP address and 5 more IP addresses for the 5 Hyper-v VM's.
Now it was left to me to Add the Hyper-v role and create 5 VM's.
While Adding the Hyper-V role, I was asked in the middle of the setup to add the network adapter for
connecting to external network.
I went inside the network connection settings and I see one network adapter "Microsoft Multiplexer"
which had the IP address of the Hyper-V node which was given to be me by Network Admin.
Besides this I found following Network Adapter: (Mgmt,Trunk):(Mgmt A, Trunk A);(Mgmt B, Trunk B) =Total
6 Network Adapter out of which only "Mgmt" was configured with the IP address of the Hyper-v node given by my Network Admin. Remaining all other Network adapters IPV4 configuration
was unchecked except "Mgmt"
So I selected the "Mgmt" connection while Installing the Hyper-v role
SO I chose this Network connection for adding the Hyper-V role.
My question: Did I chose the correct Network Adapter.
After doing this I created a VM-1 and tried to assign the IP address given by the Network Admin. But the network Admin did not provide me the default gateway so I used the deafult gateway according to the IP address and used the last digit as "1"
like a general installation.
Now my question is: 1.How can I use this VM to be used as a Virtual server?
2. I would like to open this VM through my browser by entering the IP address of this VM-1. How can I do this?
Because I access my physical server through the IP address. SO in the similar way I want to access this VM-1 through the IP address
OR is there any alternate way to access this VM-1 separately.
My Requirement: I need to give VM-1 access to another admin to Install his application on it. SO how to give him to access this VM directly?
This is my main query.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Ahmed

Jawin, Jacob, etc.. are fine for creating COM clients but COM servers is a totally different story. I suspect you'll either have to write your own JNI or get out your C/C++ compiler.
