NetWare 6.5 Server Consolidation

Good morning,
My customer is attempting to perform a NetWare 6.5 server consolidation, in the end they are wanting to move data from the NetWare server and then decommission that server. They are trying to move the DATA volume to a Cluster Resource
The Source server itself had a number of issues, especially relating to certificates, and also some DNS records were not completed for the Target Resource. One set of errors came to light

It seems interesting that it can "see" the Admin and SYS volume(s) but not the DATA volume. Any thoughts as to what might be our next step(s)?

Just providing an update to this issue. It was reported to me this morning that a restart was performed on both the Source NetWare server and the Target Location. Since that restart took place the MIGGUI process was started again, and this time it would appear that the first pass is progressing through. Will monitor the situation and report further status messages.

Lexmark Marknet unable to connect to Netware 5.1 server with IPX

Hi,
Im having some problems with Lexmark Marknet print servers. We are using
Netware 5.1 servers with ipx print queues. The print servers are MarkNet
X2000 series and MarkNet Pro3 Series from Lexmark. The print servers are
being serviced by a Netware 5.1 server. (server a) I use the MarkVision
Printer Utility to setup the printer server.
We are having a migration project from Windows NT workstations to Windows
XP workstations. We have made new print queues for the XP environment. We
also want to use an other server (server b) for servicing the print
servers. I have made al the new queues on the volume on the new server
(server b). When I use the markvision to add the new server (server b) to
the existing print server it doesnt connect. Could there be a problem in
de IPX environment ?

Any reason why you dont want to use NDPS with IP? Most print servers like
lexmark will work with IP/LPR printing all you need to do is find out
what the name is for the port. Some use raw others use printer etc..
The print queues can easily be attached to the ndps printers within the
NWADMIN (workstation client MUST have ndps installed prior to assigning
queue).

Replace Downed Netware 6.5 Server

I have a Netware 6.5 server that has seen it's last day. I have a full backup copy of 2 volumes DATA and HOME. I have a brand new server I want to insert into it's place as Netware 6.5 SP8, same name, and IP address. I have not installed Netware on the new server as of yet.
What is the proper procedure for doing this?
I would appreciate assistance.
Thanks

Hi,
The problem is that there are a LOT of proceedures, repending on your setup.... There is a lot we need to know. Is this server hosting the master replicas of any of the eDir partitions in yout tree? Or acting as a time server for your eDirectory tree? If so, special measure must be taken to make eDirectory happy prior to doing anyting.
Is the server dead and completely non-revivable? Its a LOT easier to replace the server treating it as a migration, or using a hardware swap procedure in which place you can gracefully prepare for the hardware swap so that you don't disrupt the references to the server within your eDirectory tree.
If its the ONLY server in your eDirectiry tree, then you have lost eDirectory - and so may as well do a fresh install.
So before you attempt this, please share with us the details of your environment, how eDirectory is partitioned and replicated, etc... picking the wrong process can make a real mess.

Oracle 8.0.3 in a Netware 5.0 Server!

We have a netware 5.0 with 30 licenses.
We have Oracle 8.0.3 that it cames with novell server.
First of all where can i see information about oracle to netware servers?
We are trying to develop a program in VB 6 (is ready) that it comunicates with oracle server trought odbc connection.
We have the next problems:
- The oracle database have 5 user licenses, with 3 users working, there are no problems, but when the 4º user login into the oracle database (load the program in vb6 and begin work on it), all the users begin to receive the ask to login into database oracle (user/password/feiras.world). If in this situation 1 of 4 user goes out of the aplicattion all is fine!
- If we have a 5 user prodution oracle database, why can we only work with 3 licenses?
- The second problem is the program doing some search in database takes netware server almost to 100% of Utilization, and we wait a lot by the information, is this normal?
- The third situation, is that, the program works very slowly at getting data from da oracle database. Is this because we use VB6 and ODBC? Are some away of we improve performance?
Urgent
Obrigado,
Paulo J. Sousa

bad news ...
oracle 8.0.3 went out of support in march , 1999.
so no patches or downloads will normally be available after this
occurs.
On Windows NT platforms, you will need to upgrade to :
8.0.4,
8.0.5, or
8.1.5

wait for oracle 8i release 2 just announced at open world.

Can a Windows 2003 server see a Netware 6.5 server w/ CIFS loaded?

Apparently the answer, at least w/ the W2k3 server as configured out of the
box, is no. What, if anything, must I do in order for the Windows server to
see the Netware servers? I would like to avoid installing a Novell client
on the Windows server just because it will add a layer of complexity I'd
like to avoid, but if that's the only way, please let me know.
TIA.

That TID seems to address login failures, but I don't even see the
Netware boxes at all. A good starting point would be having them show

PPPoE on BM 3.8/Netware 6.5 server I'm lost!!!

We just picked a new ISP that offers fiber but uses PPPoE. I am using a
router that supports PPPoE, mtu modifications, etc. Have a static IP.
My server (thank goodness it is a new 'test server' I have set up with all
of the up to date patches, etc,) is running Netware 6.5 and BM 3.8. I
configured it has private 192.168.1.100 private board and a 64.x.x.x
public board, set up just like the existing server on TCP/IP broadband
connection but need to connect to the internet using PPPoE.
How do I modify the server/router settings for the server to use PPPoE.
I have NAT capabilities in the router as well as the server.
Floundering in the PPPoE/BM 3.8 fog
JohnB

Thanks!!! Getting clearer (I hope) but I still must be a potato head
I have the private and public cards on th BM server set up on 2 different
networks as you suggested and the router is accepting a PPPoE assigned
public IP address. ( I can tell this from connecting the router to
another non-server/non-lan connected computer I can hook up directly to
the router.
However, when I run the server through the router, in the NAT translation
table for the public card in the BM server, what is the IP for that public
card under the translation table. The NAT table asks for the 'private
address' and the 'public address. For the 'private address, do I just use
the IP address I assigned it on the 192.168.10.0 IP segment? And then,
what do I put for the 'public Address'. The help screen says usually the
static IP from the ISP, but that doesn't work and it seems like I should
be pointing it to the router. Also, do I need to change the 'next hop'
setting in the LAN Static Routing Table?
Thanks always.

Migrate Physical NetWare 6.5 server to ESX server

I want to migrate a NetWare 6.5 sp7 server to a new ESX server we just built. Does anyone know the steps to perform this operation?

I would definitively do what Anders has suggested. Build a new server and then migrate. You could do a P2V...but this does not give you the cleanest install, nor the best VM. And while you are at it...move off of Netware and go to SLES/OES2. You're really hanging on to a dead horse there. :-)

SQL Server consolidation

Because of SQL licensing changes, the execs are hot on reducing the number of SQL Servers we have. I have approximately 60 databases (all 12GB or less) on one SQL server (production).
This server is virtualized and on a SAN. I also have a DB Server for our developers to use that is on the SAN (test).
About ½ the databases on the production server are for in house written applications.
We have one vendor that remotes in on the production server.
This vendor’s db’s are in a separate instance.
In addition we have a SQL server for our Trucking Division that mostly runs vendor applications.
(This vendor remotes into the server for issues.) The last server hosts the db’s for a quoting application and SharePoint 2010 (about 40 databases total, 10 or so which are 15-20GB in size).
The quoting application vendor also remotes in to support the application.
The plan is to virtualize the application servers and get everything on the SAN.
Exec wants us to move the databases to the SQL server already on the SAN instead of creating new virtual SQL servers. (Over 110 databases on one server.)
My gut tells me this is a bad idea, but if I don’t want to do it I have to justify why it should not be done.
The vendors don’t care for it either but none are saying we can’t do it or they won’t support the app if we do.
All of the SQL Servers are running SQL Server 2008 R2 on 64 bit servers.
There are no plans to upgrade the SQL version at this time.
We are considering upgrading SharePoint to SharePoint 2013. We run only the standard features of SharePoint.
We do run Reporting Services and Integration Services.
So my questions are, how do I determine if this is feasible? What are the pro's/Con's? Where can I find information for building a SQL server like this that hosts the databases for
so many varied applications? Should I install multiple instances? I could easily have 5-6 instances just separating out the major vendor applications. Getting enough memory is not an issue.
Nancy Forbes

What is your current server configuration and load ? is there any performance issue or any other application issues are you facing?
If there is no berformance issue and application host support, then there is no harm in putting all the database in one single instance and making necessary changes in the connection setting to point the ritght application and host.
No matters if its 100 databases or 200 databases, only consideration is how big it is and how often its used and queried or how often the reports or what is the volume of the transaction, number of user connections, CPU and memory usage, tempdb usage etc..
If there is no issues with above then 99% there wont be any issues with database level putting under single instance, its just a matter of changing your connection string and redirecting the application to specific sql instance..
SQL 2008 R2 is almost having all the nice sql features and its awesome and sql 2008 R2 is running many organizations machines now a days, no worries about 2012 or 2014.
For your load and DB size you can run under one instances, also please keep a note of your database growth every 3 months, so that you can plan accordingly if there is any with more amount of data growth, and transaction volume and number users ( connections

ZCM Inventory Scan of a NetWare 6.5 Server

I was able to install the ZCM Adaptive Agent for NetWare servers on all of my NetWare servers, and I can see these servers in Devices/Servers after performing a discovery.
How can I run an inventory scan for these NetWare servers so I can get more detailed information about these servers?
Thank You,

probably better posted in the ZCM inventory forum...
but.. if you go to configuration of your zone and than device management (I

Server consolidation via VMWARE ...

Team,
Need to club individual server and share the resources within each other using virtulisation. Can this be achieved if so how?
(we have 6 individual server with few applications and db's running on the server. )
Thanks,
Sai

Since you have chosen VMware as your tool-of-choice, you need to go to a VMware forum.
That isn't here.
This post is locked. The question is outside the scope of this web site.

Server Consolidation

Could hyper-v support creation of one virtual machine across multiple physical servers.

Can you please tell us what exact you are trying to achieve. One Virtual Machine across multiple physical servers it's impossible. There are various
clustering solutions that can be deployed

ZENworks Imaging Server 7 NetWare 6.5

We are using a NetWare 6.5 Server with ZENworks Imaging Server v7.0.1
Could someone tell me if there is a way to look at logs, to tell when a machine was last imaged, or even better the image history for a machine.
Are there log files which show this? or is there another process?
Alternativly, can I look at a machine, and look for a file or something which would show the image date of that machine?
I have tried ZISWIN.EXE but there are no log files.
We have a dispute and we need to show when a machine / group of machines was last imaged, date would be great.
Cheers and thanks in advance.
