Multiples zone local on gatekeeper cluster

Anybody know how it works?. I have 2 gatekeeper each one with one local zone and redundandy work fine, but if add another local zone on gatekeeper 1, the endpont is not propagated to cluster so the gatekeeper 2 can't see the endpoint on local zone 3. it is possible?
gatekeeper 1
zone local local1 test.com 192.168.0.1
zone local local3 test.com
zone cluster local test local1
element local2 192.168.0.2 1719
gatekeeper 2
zone local local2 test.com 192.168.0.2
zone cluster local test local2
element local1 192.168.0.1 1719

The gatekeeper 2 will not automatically update to know that 'local3' zone has been added to gatekeeper 1.
You could use a directory gatekeeper to allow for easier administration. When you have a directory gatekeeper and you add a zone to gatekeeper 1, you only need to add that zone to the directory gatekeeper as well.
Then when other gatekeepers need to contact an endpoint in 'local3' zone, that request is forwarded to the directory gatekeeper with a matching zone prefix.

Gatekeeper / Zone Local command in Cisco

A Chairde,
I am trying to change the H323 port on my Cisco Zone, and have inputted the command :
gatekeeper
zone local cnibhco111 .*****.*e 192.168.230.129
no shutdown
This works correctly, but if I add .
gatekeeper
zone local cnibhco111 .****.*e 192.168.230.129 1723
no shutdown
It gives me a syntax error, also tried :, but again syntax error.

Did it give you a syntax error, or did it tell you the zone already existed?
To change the port for that local zone, you'll need to first remove it:
no zone local cnibhco111 .*****.*e 192.168.230.129 1719
then re-add it with the new port:
zone local cnibhco111 .****.*e 192.168.230.129 1723
Take care that you have a copy of all zone prefixes or aliases using this zone. When you remove the zone for the port change, you'll lose any additional gatekeeper configuration that relies on that zone.
Let me know if this helps by rating the post.

How does an Endpoint Choose what Zone on a Gatekeeper?

Hi,
If I am configuring a gatekeeper cluster of 2 gatekeepers, and I have 3 local zones on the gatekeeper, how do endpoints that register to the gatekeeper choose what zone to go in?
Can you have multiple 'local' zones on a single gatekeeper?

In gatekeeper call routing we have something like yes or no terms that is how a gatekeeper will route a call based on an incoming Admission Request message (ARQ) message
Start:E.164 number match-yes-Target zone=matched endpoints zone- via zone processing -send ACF
NO Match
Tech-prefix match-yes -strip the tech-prefix-hop-off tech prefix - targetzone=hop-offzone
NO Match
ZONE-PREFIX match-Is arq reject-unknown prefix set? -send ARJ
No match
Target zone=matched zone
Here are the good documents;
The behavior of a gatekeeper when it processes a call request in the form of an admission Request (ARQ) from an H.323 endpoint.

Cannot add multiple members of a failover cluster to a DFSR replication group

Server 2012 RTM. I have two physical servers, in two separate data centers 35 miles apart, with a GbE link over metro fibre between them. Both have a large (10TB+) local RAID storage arrays, but given the physical separation there is no physical shared storage.
The hosts need to be in a Windows failover cluster (WSFC), so that I can run high-availability VMs and SQL Availability Groups across these two hosts for HA and DR. VM and SQL app data storage is using a SOFS (scale out file server) network share on separate
servers.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate multi-TB user data file folders between the two local storage arrays on these two hosts for HA and DR. But when I try to add the second server to a DFSR replication group, I get the error:
The specified member is part of a failover cluster that is already a member of the replication group. You cannot add multiple members for the same cluster to a replication group.
I'm not clear why this has to be a restriction. I need to be able to replicate files somehow for HA & DR of the 10TB+ of file storage. I can't use a clustered file server for file storage, as I don't have any shared storage on these two servers. Likewise
I can't run a HA single DFSR target for the same reason (no shared storage) - and in any case, this doesn't solve the problem of replicating files between the two hosts for HA & DR. DFSR is the solution for replicating files storage across servers with
non-shared storage.
Why would there be a restriction against using DFSR between multiple hosts in a cluster, so long as you are not trying to replicate folders in a shared storage target accessible to both hosts (which would obviously be a problem)? So long as you are not replicating
folders in c:\ClusterStorage, there should be no conflict.
Is there a workaround or alternative solution?

Yes, I read that series. But it doesn't address the issue. The article is about making a DFSR target highly available. That won't help me here.
I need to be able to use DFSR to replicate files between two different servers, with those servers being in a WSFC for the purpose of providing other clustered services (Hyper-V, SQL availability groups, etc.). DFSR should not interfere with this, but it
is being blocked between nodes in the same WSFC for a reason that is not clear to me.
This is a valid use case and I can't see an alternative solution in the case where you only have two physical servers. Windows needs to be able to provide HA, DR, and replication of everything - VMs, SQL, and file folders. But it seems that this artificial
barrier is causing us to need to choose either clustered services or DFSR between nodes. But I can't see any rationale to block DFSR between cluster nodes - especially those without shared storage.
Perhaps this blanket block should be changed to a more selective block at the DFSR folder level, not the node level.

Multiple zones

I have a mac mini with all my media connected through my amp and then to my tv. I want to run a second zone, but the problem is the wireless speaker I have only uses rca plugs and the amp won't support digital (from the mini) to rca (out to the wireless antenna.) I know you can run multiple speakers on itunes using an airport express, but is there a program to run multiple zones? For example, my kids could watch a movie off itunes but I could stream music to other speakers for the adults.....

The server was originally set up with a zone of norwich.atm and the hostname is atm-norwich which is OK for internal use and our VPN (8 xserves around the country) BUT I want the students to have the email address [email protected] just by enabling mail in WGM and using the xserve as the mail server so I added the FQDN as a zone. atmnorwich.co.uk and the mail server to accept that domains mail.
Now all I get is messages bounced.

Can pseudo devices be exported to multiple zones?

I have implemented a pseudo device driver. Can I export the device to multiple zones at the same time? All synchronization issues will be handled in the driver.
Thanks!

yes, i think you could, just like to produce the zero, null those pseudo drivers.So you need to read the Solaris10 source code and undertand it how to create those pseudo drivers.

Can u proxy between two LOCAL zones on a Gatekeeper?

Is it possible to proxy a call between two local zones on the same gatekeeper?
Thanks for any replies.

I also tried this last year to overcome issues with Access Control Lists preventing school sites from directly communicating with each other, and unfortunately the answer is no! The proxy will only work with calls to remote zones.
However from version 12.3 (4)T of the MCM gatekeeper IOS, there is also a feature included called IP to IP gateway, which will do what you want, and will actually work better than the proxy as it is codec transparent (the proxy will re-encode your VC to H.261 and G.711).

RT jitter! Can multiple reads to a variable / cluster cause a blocking condition?

Howdy do.
While incrementally developing and testing an application on a crio9068 (linux RT) I've begun to see the 'finished late?' indicator in my main timed loop flicker. Starting to pull my hair out trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening. I made a 'hold max' vi and can see the longest execution time for each frame.
The application runs fine at about 75% processor load with the front panel open, and the majority of iterations execute in time. Occasionally, I'll have a 'spike' in execution time, and all four frames in the timed loop take significantly longer than normal to execute, and the 'late' indicator says so.
A couple questions I've had build up while chasing this:
-If I use local varables to pass data between loops, but only write to the variable in one place, can I still cause a blocking condition/jitter by competing reads of that memory space?
-If I use an FPGA read/write node to pass data between the timed loop and the FPGA, should I expect this to cause a problem? I selectively disabled a lot of my code, and it seems like this is where some of the delay occurs. What stumps me is that these parts of the code haven't changed in recent development and the thing never used to run late.
-On the topic of the FPGA read/write node, I previously assumed that I shouldn't write to the same FPGA FP item in different subvis. However, the code is set up so that there are multiple parallel calls to the read/write node, just with different elements selected. Is this BAD?
-Similarly, if I unbundle and read the same element from a cluster control in a 'parallel' fashion, can this cause a blocking situation, or is it the same as unbundling and wiring from there to multple places?
-I am using the recently renamed "NI software calibration and management toolkit (SCM)," formerly Drivven CalView, to handle communication between the RT and a windows host. It also does neat fault management stuff. Anybody else using this, and is there any possibility I'm getting jitter by having too many calpoints in my deterministic loop?
Any guidance on any of the above points would be greatly appreciated. If I don't make sense on any of the above points I can make example snippets to describe.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Tom,
Thanks for your input(s). I'll stop obsessing over the local variables and the branched cluster wires for now.
I didn't realize that all the code in the timed loop would be serialized beyond normal execution. In fact, this brings up another question I have. Somewhere I read that the overhead of multithreading would cause an issue. Since the 9068 has two cores, I had previously been setting the CPU selector in the timed loop to 'automatic', which seemed to load both cores roughly equally. Doesn't this mean that the process is being multithreaded? Funny thing is that even when I do select cpu 0 or cpu 1, they both are roughly equal in utilization while the timed loop is running.
The period for the timed loop is set at 15ms, and the execution of all the frames usually occurs in less than 10ms. After several seconds I'll get a 'spike' in execution time, and it will take 20-30ms to complete an iteration. I'm not positive if my benchmark is valid, but if I look at the execution time for each frame and 'hold' the maximum time, it seems like they all (four frames) take extra time at this one instance. So that hasn't helped to narrow it down much.
It sounds like you have a method in mind for 'caching runtime data'. If you can point me in a good direction to gather more information about what the thing is doing it would help. I have run a strip chart of execution times, attached.
How much should I expect having the front panel open will affect the determinism of the loop? I realized it added overhead, but since the overall CPU load is less than 60% (each) with all the bells and whistles (other loops) disabled, I thought it wouldn't be having an effect like this.
Again, thanks for throwing ideas around, it really helps.

Problem with receiving of the UDP multicasting on multiple interfaces in the W2K12 cluster

Hi,
I have my .NET application which receives the UDP multicasting communication. It works fine until it is deployed on a W2K12 cluster. Some multicast groups are still available and some are not in the cluster. The
problem is caused by the cluster which creates a virtual interface for a inter-node communication. When the cluster is on and my app is trying to subscibe to the affected group then IGMP packets are routed to the cluster's
virtual interface where the multicast communication is not available. When the cluster (cluster service) is off all groups are available and IGMP is routed to a right interface.
I also have a different application which is not based on .NET and it receives all multicast groups in any deployment (same W2K12 clustered server). So, I guess that in my app I have to tell to the socket somehow, which local interface should
be used for a particular multicast group. In my app I use code below for a group subscribtion, but I still can't manage routing of IGMP to a right local interface. Can you help me?
As you can see in the code example I try to mapp a group to a local interface using its IP and index using MulticastOption class, but it has no effect. Different interface (cluster's virtual interface) is used for a IGMP
subscribtion. I also tried to bind\set local interface to Any, but without success.
It seems that there is some OS logic which overrides my setup. But, it must be possible to do the socket setup correctlly because non .NET application works fine.
Thanks.
Regards,
Marek
public void Start(string[] args)
//args[0] - multicast group
//args[1] - multicast port
//args[2] - local interface IP
//args[3] - local interface index
UdpClient udp = new UdpClient();
udp.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket, SocketOptionName.ReuseAddress, true);
udp.Client.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(args[2]), Convert.ToInt32(args[1])));
MulticastOption mcastOption = new MulticastOption(IPAddress.Parse(args[0]));
mcastOption.LocalAddress = IPAddress.Parse(args[2]);
mcastOption.InterfaceIndex = int.Parse(args[3]);
udp.Client.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.IP, SocketOptionName.AddMembership, mcastOption);
udp.BeginReceive(new AsyncCallback(Receive), udp);

I don’t know if it will help you but I can illustrate my problem on the following prints from netsh and route tools. First print from netsh shows that the affected group 224.0.46.232 is assigned to interface 20. Second print shows
that interface 20 is Microsoft Failover Cluster Virtual Adapter where multicast communication is not available.
When the test app, which works fine, is used than these prints show that group 224.0.46.232 is assigned to interface 19 - Microsoft Network Adapter Multiplexor Driver, where multicast communication is available.
So, the question is how to manage these „prints“ to requested setup in .NET.

Marek

Multiple Database behind the Weblogic cluster

          Hi,
          We are working on an enterprise-level EJB based application. Because the scalability and fail-over requirement of the application, we have to at least have 2 database in the backend. Ideally, the 2 database should like one for the Weblogic servers in the app server cluster that are accessing them. There are severl possible solutions:
          1. Have one database as the master data source and another database as stand-by. When the master dabase fails, we could use the Oracle hot-failover to failover to the standby database (am I right? ). The bad thing about this solution is that we are wasting a big box doing nothing, just as standby.
          2. Use a database cluster. I saw some of the discussion in the newsgroup. Basically, the database(s) in the cluster will look like one logical database for the app server cluster. Does anyone have any comments on this solution? Please provide details.
          3. We come up a solution which requires partition of the application into several logical funtion groups and partition the data as well. Even though the solution works technically, it will create a management nightmare for the server cluster.
          Anyone has experience with this? Please comment. Thanks a lot!

          Weblogic 7 has a new concept called network channel, where there is a section talking
          about clustering over multiple NIC cards. I was confused by the cluster address in

Urgent : OBIA - Handling multiple Global, Local and Document Currencies

All,
I need input on how to configure multiple currency codes in DAC for OBIA 7.9.6.x
My client's business goes around the the world and with multiple local currencies.They also need reporting currency to be multiple like in Euro, USD etc.
I went through a couple of threads in this forum,like -
Re: Configuring Global Currencies in BI Apps 7.9.6 for EBS 11.5.10 Source
Re: How we are using Global, Local and Document Currencies in DAC.
But I have some confusion regarding the configuration of DAC's 3 Global currency codes.
In order to fulfill my requirement - should I add additional codes in DAC?
Basically How am I supposed to handle multiple Local,Document and Global currencies? And then possible changes in rpd/reports required also?
Regards,
Krish

Currencies are discussed in the Setup and Configuration Guide here:
7.1.1.2 How to Configure Global Currencies
To configure the global currencies you want to report in your warehouse:
In the DAC Client, display the Design view.
For more information about logging into the DAC, see Section A.1, "How to Log Into the DAC Client".
Select a container from the drop down list to the right of the Execute button.
Display the 'Source System Parameters' tab.
Locate the following parameters and set the currency code values for them in the 'Value' box:
$$GLOBAL1_CURR_CODE (for the document currency).
$$GLOBAL2_CURR_CODE (for the local currency).
$$GLOBAL3_CURR_CODE (for the global currency).
Make sure that you spell the currencies as they are spelled in your source OLTP system.
Save your changes.
As far as for PLP items, those are Post Load Processing elements that perform cleanup tasks after the Base Warehouse tables have been loaded. They should never be modified and frankly run without any issues provided the rest of the plan executes properly. Do you have a specific quesiton about a PLP?

Views on multiple ExtendProxy services in same cluster

Hi,
I would like to load-balance 2 sets of clients for the same cluster such that each client set is balanced separately. The motivation is that one set is quite small and the other is much larger so it can happen that the clients in the smaller set all end up connecting to proxies on one host, instead of proxies on different hosts.
I can think of 3 ways fo doing this:
1) Create a ExtendProxy service, with 2 sub options:
a) is it possible to expose to have an ExtendProxy JVM expose multiple proxy services (ExtendProxyService1, ExtendProxyService2).
b) Running 2 parallel sets of ExtendPorxy JVMs
2) Moving the load balancing out fo the proxy service (to an F5 BigIp in my case) and setting up 2 pools withthe same members. That avoids touching the cluster at all.
Any opinions?

Am I to understand that you have two managed servers, and you have two admin servers, both managing the two managed servers?
That doesn't make sense. You shouldn't be managing a managed server from more than one admin server. The admin server represents a single domain. You can't have a managed server that's in more than one domain.

DS6 in a zone on a Sun Cluster

I have a sun cluster that I am trying to configure and I don't know if I am trying to do something wrong, so I thought I would ask.
I am using Sun Cluster 3.2 on a pair of Sun T2000s with a Fiber Channel disk array attached to both nodes. I have configured the disk array to have two file systems. One for each server. I have configured two resource groups in the global zone and setup a HAStoragePlus resource for each file system. I am successfully able to fail the file systems between the two nodes. On each of the file systems I have installed a zone. The zone is managed with the resource type provided by the SUNWsczone package to start and stop the zone. The resource is in the same resource group has the HAStoragePlus resource.
At this point I have created resource group for the zone to manage the directory server. After creating the resource group I am trying to create a resource for the directory service HA service. When I use the clresource command it complains that the resource group does not contain a logical hostname. When using the services provided by the SUNWsczone package I created a logical hostname that is being assigned to the zone in question. Is there a way to install the Directory Server HA resource into the resource group for the zone?

Philippe,
DS 6 Sun Cluster Agent was not tested with SC 3.2 in Zones.
Zone support came with SC 3.2, and DS 6 Cluster Agent was built with SC 3.1, tested with SC 3.1 and 3.2 in the Global zone.

Ludovic.

Disk and tempdb configuration for multiple Instances in one SQL cluster

Hi Everyone ,
I am in planing to build SQL Cluster on Blade server . Two blades are allocated for SQL. and planning to cluster those two blades. It will be windows 2012R2 and SQL 2012/2014. Initially it was plan to put most of database on one SQL instance. but
due to other requirements I will be Installing more SQL Instance on same cluster.
for now Everything will be on RAID 10 but do not have more details about storage yet that how it will get configured
256 GB Ram on Each blade server.
1) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for data and log files when each instance get added?
2) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for tempdb files when each instance get added?
3) Each Instance Tempdb file on Same drive is good practice?
Any other Best practices should follow for this setup?
Thank you ....
Please Mark As Answer if it is helpful. \\Aim To Inspire Rather to Teach A.Shah

1) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for data and log files when each instance get added?
Keep both the sql instances in diffèrent drives.read the below link for RAID levels and according to your usage you can cofigure it..
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190764%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
Storage best practice.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc966534.aspx
2) what are the Disc configuration recommendation for tempdb files when each instance get added?
Its good to have sepreate drive for tempdb and each instance too with correct allocation or configuration..RAID5
for data if you must, but have to keep a spare drive around for that.
Best is 10 everywhere. If that's too expensive, then 1 or 10 for log and 5 for data (and 10 for TempDB)
RAID 5 is terrible for logs because it has a high write overhead. Tran logs are write-heavy, not read-heavy.
3) Each Instance Tempdb file on Same drive is good practice?
Tempdb configuration is depends, its completelty based on your server and tempdb usage..Make sure to have equal size for all the files in tempdb, As a general rule, if the number of logical processors is less than 8, use the same number of data files
as logical processors. If the number of logical processors is greater than 8, use 8 data files and then if contention continues, increase the number of data files by multiples of 4 (up to the number of logical processors) until the contention is reduced to
acceptable levels or make changes to the workload/code.

Multiple Oracle databases in Sun cluster 3.2 (without RAC setup)

There are 2 Sun SPARC (Sun Fire T2000) servers with Solaris 10 (05/09) OS and Sun Cluster 3.2 software. We need two different Oracle databases & instances (Oracle 10g R2 without RAC) for an application. The first database is for Production and need to be configured in the first node & Shared storage disk and need high availability. This database should run from the second node if the first node fails. The second database is for Quality/Test and it is prefered to be running in the Second node for better load distribution. This DB doesnt require any failover.
The shared storage is Sun SE 3510 FC and multiple LUNs can be created for different databases..
Is it possible to configure two different resource groups (one for Quality and other for Production) and make the first node primary for Production RG, and the second node primary for Quality RG and thus distributing the load on 2 servers ? If possible, what special configuration required in Sun OS and Cluster side ?
Appreciate if you can give some configuration procedures/documents for this multi-master cluster setup..

You can configure two resource groups, such as:
# clrg create -n node-a,node-b prod-rg
# clrg create -n node-b qa-rgand you configure the required resources (disk groups / file systems, logical host, oracle listener, oracle server) as described within
[http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2980?l=en&a=expand]
Note that this is not really called a "multi-master" configuration - that has a specific meaning for a resource group (see [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/babefcja?l=en&a=view] ) for details.
With Solaris Cluster all nodes part of a cluster are considered active and can host resource groups. You can have any number of resource groups running, where a subset runs one one node, another subset on other nodes. The nodelist property of the resource group defines where it can run, the first node in the list is the preferred primary.
You can even define resource group dependencies or affinities between the resource groups. Like you could define a negative affinity between qa-rg and prod-rg, such as if prod-rg needs to failover to node-b (since e.g. node-a died), it would offline qa-rg. Details for that kind of possibilities are described at [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view|http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-4682/ch14_resources_admin-35?l=en&a=view].
