Need help for Disaster Recovery setup and configuration

Hi Gurus.
We are planning to have disaster recovery test plan. Normally we setup our network at another site and then restore data there and then do configuration and setup to run SAP system to new network.
But this is little more time consuming. We are planning to do something which will might save our time.
We want to create one Application instance on Central instance on current production server. This instance will be "deactivated" and will not run on production server.
When we will do the disaster recovery, we will restore CI filesystem to Disaster recovery network. That time this new application instance will aslo get copied. Once this is done, we just need to go to this instance and start SAP System. This way we will save our time of configuring the new instance and then starting it.
e.g
Production host -> prdhost1
Central Instance -> /usr/sap/P01/DVEBMGS00
and it's subdirectory: data, work, log, sec
create new application instance -> /usr/sap/P01/D03
and it's subdirectory: data, work, log, sec
create new instance profile -> P01_D03_prdhost1, START_D03_prdhost1
this configuration will be created but SAP instance will not be started. It will be copied to Disaster Recovery new site and in that new network , there we can start this new application instance.
Please let me know if we can do that ? if yes, are we going to face any issue in production?
Other than mentioned above, what FileSystem we need to take care for creating new instance?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,

Hi!
Sorry but your scenario is a little bit confusing.
Let me guess if I understood, you want to configure a "virtual" instance to be able to use it in case of DR.
I don't advise you to do things that way. Why not use virtual hosts and virtual instances like we do when implementing instances within a cluster or metrocluster.
You must have the license from DR server installed. I you use virtual hosts all DR issues like printers, logon groups, RFC groups, etc... will be solved.
If you use virtual hosts and virtual instances all you need to do is replicate the environment into DR site, restore the system and start production.
Of course... you are using UNIX and within UNIX world all these things are much easier.
Bear in mind that if you have JAVA instances then I think this is the only recommended procedure.
Cheers,

Required help on ASA basic setup and configuration

Hi,
I am very very new to Security/Firewall domain, As I have gone through lot of documents and understood there must be one outside interface and atleast one or multiple inside interfaces depends on the requirement. I have attached a high level design, it shows how ASAs tobe connected to Aggre/Dist. Switches and how DMZ are conneccted to ASA via L2 Switches. Could any one help me on this how to configure and what are basic configuration required to eastablish the network and it works. I need two inside networks one is for dmz servers and another one is other servers to be advertise to outside DC.

When you say NK501 that it is a typo and that it should be N5K01 (for nexus 5000 switch 1?)
So if these are nexus switches, and I assume you are looking for active/standby configuration on the ASA for HA. Your configuration would be something like the following if you want full redundancy.

HELP HELP!!! Needed help for system recovery

I have a satellite A505-S6035
I made the restoration disk and made a system restoration using that DVD's one year back to make a new partition and everything went fine.but today my system crashed and I tried to restore from HDD ,by pressing zero on the start up and it wont.I work tried the DVD and it boots...but it staying long time saying copying files......I think some problem on the DVD as I felt some noise from the CD drive that cannot read properly.I removed this HDD and connedted externaly with another PC and realized that c:\\ already formated and some files has been copied there. D:\\ have no problem and all my datas are there.i found another partiton too for the recovery @ 2GB but i coudn recover from
what i should do in this situation ..pls help

Just a few thoughts: Did you cut all power to your computer [include battery and ac] prior to trying to restore, and try toggling zero key when turning on to restore. If this doesn't get computer and/or HDD restore to operate, is other machine you used to read HDD compatable; could you restore HDD on other machine if needed, then try in this one?

Need help for PeopleSoft Installation - PeopleSoft Database configuration

Hello,
I am working on the step that requires me to put in Admin User, Admin Password, PeopleSoft Symbolic ID, PeopleSoft Access ID, PeopleSoft Access Password, PeopleSoft Connect ID, PeopleSoft Connect Password, Microsoft SQL server Data file name & Microsoft SQL server Log file name.
When i pressed the Next button, this came out:
Setup fails to connect to the SQL Server in the system. the error message is: noerror. Please make sure a SQL Server is running in the system. The minimum supported version is SQL Server 2008. Please go to previous screen to correct the problems or 'Cancel' to exit.
Thanks in advance and really appreciate your help :)

First of all are your running SQL Server 2008?
Second if you are, then you should provide the correct syntax for sql server wich is (if you installed sql server according the installation manual ) [machinename]\SQL2008

T4-1 rack mount server as a remote server for disaster recovery setup.

Hi,
I would like to ask some basic questions, as Solaris is not my area.
1)
T4-1 server is a rack mount server. Now, we would like to use it for DR purpose. Can we keep this rack mount server on remote location without conversion kit (to use it as a tower server).
2)
As I am new to this, would like to ask a basic question. This T4-1 server has 4 * 300GB hdd. To expand storage capacity, we would like to add hard disks to this server. Do we have to add 300gb hard disks only ? or we can add 2 new 600 GB hard disks.
Thanks

1) Yes, it does not need to be racked to run. Putting it on a wire rack should work fine. Just verify the power and cooling requirements.
2) You can add new internal disks, the system holds up to 8 internal 2.5" disks. Using a zpool, I would consider adding 4 more 600G disks for a RAIDZ pool, though you can add 2 600G disks and mirror them.

Need help for Ship to address and Ship to Country

Hello Expert,
I am doing enhancements to one Report. It is a sourcing audit report in FI. We are supposed to add ' Ship to country' and 'Ship to addreess' details to the report. Right now EBELN and EBELP are the key fields as P/O is displayed.
For development of this report I have to map the tables EKPO and ADRC. But there is only one field in common ADRN2.
As there is no data in ADRN2 I am not able to Link these two tables. Can anybody suggest me the alternative way?
Because ADRN2 is blank for all records.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Harish

Hi,
You have to consider two scenarios.
1) if the delivery address is changed at PO level ( In this scenario, EKPO-ADRNR will have some value), then take the value from EKPO-ADRNR and get the information from table ADRC by passing EKPO-ADRNR to ADRC-ADDRNUMBER.
2) If the delivery is not changed (In this scenario, EKPO-ADRNR will be blank), then Get the Address Number from table T001W (field : ADRNR) by passing EKPO-WERKS to T001W-WERKS. Get the information from table ADRC by passing T001W-ADRNR to ADRC-ADDRNUMBER.

How to setup and configure NI OPC Server to OMRON PLC (CJ2H model) using FINS Ethernet communication protocol?

Hi,
Could someone help me in the setup and configuration of NI OPC server to OMRON PLC (CJ2H model) using FINS Ethernet communication protocol? I already read some materials available in the web but it uses a different PLC and communication protocol. The OPC server is installed in my laptop and I'm using Windows 8 as my OS. I used a cross over RJ45 LAN cable and connected to the ETN21 module of the PLC. I was able to confirmed the communication of my laptop and PLC by pinging the ip address of the ETN21. I also tried to configure the OPC server based on the documents I just read online. I created a channel, device and tag to the OPC server. By the way, I just need to read the data from the tag I created. Can someone also tell me how to monitor the data on the tag? I hope that you could help me. Thank you in advance.

Good day,
Try following the instructions on the driver’s help, take a look at the attach picture. It should be a good starting point. After the PLC is configured you can use this tutorial (Connect LabVIEW to Any PLC Using OPC » http://www.ni.com/white-paper/7450/en/) for a guide on how to monitor the tags.
I hope this helps

Need help for flash builder

i need help for flash builder 4 and papervison 3d. I need to create a slider with it ranges of value from 10 to 50 to adjust the camera values for the camera.fov and also need to create it for the yaw of the object from 0 to 360. I try to look for any slider event and classes in this program but cant find any, btw, i need to use the AS only project file.
here is my codes:
can you please tell me how i should modify the codes?
package
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapFileMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.materials.BitmapMaterial;
    import org.papervision3d.objects.primitives.Sphere;
    import org.papervision3d.view.BasicView;
    [SWF (width="800", height="600", backgroundColor="0x000000",frameRate="30")]
    public class EarthBitmap extends BasicView
        private var sphere:Sphere;
        public function EarthBitmap()
            super(800 , 600);
            var earthmaterial:BitmapFileMaterial = new BitmapFileMaterial("../assets/Earth.jpg");
            sphere = new Sphere(earthmaterial,100,20,18);
            camera.fov = 25;
            scene.addChild(sphere);
            addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,rotateSphere);
        public function rotateSphere(evt:Event):void
            sphere.yaw(0.2);
            singleRender();

Turn the click handler into a full on separate function. Then store all the views in an array and use Math.rand() to randomly choose one.
Something like this:
<fx:Script>
     <![CDATA[
          var questionsArray:Array = {question2,question3,question5,questionRed,questionGeography};
          function buttonClickHandler(event:MouseEvent){
               var randomProblem:int = Math.floor(Math.random()*(questionsArray.length));     //generates a random integer between 0 and the total number of questions in the array (arrays are 0-based)
               navigator.pushView(questionsArray[randomProblem]);
     ]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:Button id="randomProblemButton" label="Next Problem" click="buttonClickHandler(event)" />
Haven't tested that, but something along that line should work

How to configure high availability and disaster recovery? And user authenticate

We are in the process of rolling out our online help which was created using Robohelp. In our initial rollout we will provide access to the files via our Client Portal which requires authentication. We are also planning for our next version where we intend to implement Robohelp server functionality.
Our IT team is looking at options on how to configure for High Availability and Disaster Recovery. It seems that Robohelp doesn't have any built-in functionality in this area. In addition we require that our users authenticate. The options for the server version seem to be more internally focused and we would need to solution the authentication using a third party.
Would anyone be willing to share their approach in these areas? Would you be willing to participate in a conference call with our IT Professionals?

Hello again
I see my good friend Peter replied to your LInkedIn post where you cross-posted the same question. For those here that have no clue what Peter stated, here it is:
What are you seeking to recover? Your projects? Your outputs? This sounds like a question more appropriate to Disaster Recovery consultants and far wider reaching than RoboHelp. To me it seems like a question your IT people should be asking direct to such consultants who would expect a fee for their advice.
I would agree with Peter's reply.
I'll also go further and ask what exactly is being done in this realm for the application? Help files generally are there to support an application on the server. So whatever you are doing for the applciation should also be able to be used for the WebHelp, FlashHelp or web based AIR Help files, no?
Cheers... Rick

What to have for disaster recovery? Full backup?

What do we need to have? In case of we lose everything what to backup from where? There is an BART system I think in 4.1 does it enough for full system recovery? Or do we also need to export users from BAT->export ? Why are they seperate? (ps. I talk about 4.1)
thx

Hi Okan,
The Utility you are referring to is called BARS (Backup and Restore) and is the data you need for Disaster Recovery/CCM Rebuilds. You will not need the Bat-Export as all the phone details etc are captured in a .tar file during BARS Backup;
The following list shows the data that is backed up and restored for the Cisco CallManager publisher database:
Hosts and LMhosts files
Latest Cisco CallManager publisher database
DC Directory LDAP directory
For Cisco CallManager 3.3.x DirectoryConfiguration.ini from C:\dcdsrvr.
For Cisco CallManager 4.0(x) or later UMDirectoryConfiguration.ini.
Directory schema files avvid_schemaV*.txt
Publisher and subscriber configuration information to replication.ini file.
Cisco CallManager version to version.ini file.
If the option to backup CDR is chosen, CDR database and CDR/CMR flat files from Local CDR Path
TFTP files from C:\Program Files\Cisco\TFTPPath (the default path)
TFTP files from alternate file locations
Cisco Bulk Administration Tool (BAT) files-templates from C:\CiscoWebs\BAT, CSV files from C:\BAT and the BATversion.asp file.
HKLM\Software\Cisco Systems, Inc. (registry keys)
Cisco CallManager DSN
Security files (certificates) from under C:\Program Files\Cisco\Certificates. This applies only to Cisco CallManager 4.x or later.
LDAPConfig.ini for IPMA configuration.
Here is a good doc that has all the info for doing Backups and then restoring on the new box;

Need help scripting the Essentials Server Backup configuration in PowerShell

I'm trying to write a PowerShell script that automates the setup and configuration of the Server Backup feature within WS2012 R2 Essentials. There are a number of cmdlets for defining the backup source files and target location such as add-wssbackuptarget,
add-wssbackupvolume, new-wssbackuptarget, etc.
These cmdlets all have a required -Disk parameter and I can't for the life of me figure out the syntax for it. I've tried the disk ID, drive letter, LUN, volume label, and disk number. All of the examples in the help files are using variables instead of
explicitly entering a value; I've tried using the example scripts and those fail too.
So here's a quick example:
Get-WssBackupPolicy | Add-WssBackupVolume -Disk ??
I obviously need more parameters than that but the point is, no matter what other parameters I type and no matter what I enter for the value of -Disk, I always get "Cannot bind parameter 'Disk'. Cannot convert the "D:\" (or whatever I've entered)
value of "System.String" to type "Microsoft.WindowsServerSolutions.DataProtection.ServerBackup.ObjectModel.BackupDisk".
And like I said in the opening paragraph, I get that same error for any and all cmdlets that use the -Disk parameter. Does anyone know how to properly structure format the -Disk value?
Thanks

Don't worry I wasn't sure as well, I had to raise a SR to understand it too!
I have a similar set up to yours and have webutil working successfully.
What you need to do is to install and configure your application server on unix for webutil as well as windows.
From your post I see you are already reading the docs. Within chapters 2 and 3 both of which are titled "configuring web util", you will see points that refer to the application server, these are the ones that you need to follow.
Good luck
