New server installation

Hello,
I have Oracle10g running on Windows2003 server and now I need to install Oracle on the new Windows2003 server. Then my plan is to export data into new database and point my users to the new server. I need to keep the same database name/sid, say mydb. I understand it is possible when I have 2 servers.
My question is how should I deal with the net service name, if I have mydb.server1.com as current and will have mydb.server2.com as a new ? How would I distinguish between two databases (for example scott/tiger@mydb) during client access ? I probably can rename current service to mydb_old, but I am not sure it's correct.
Please advise.
Marina

You would need different "alias" names in the tnsnames.ora file.
Example:
## tnsnames.ora file
MYDB_OLD =
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=server1)(PORT=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydb.world)(SERVER=DEDICATED))
MYDB =
(DESCRIPTION=
    (ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=server2)(PORT=1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=mydb.world)(SERVER=DEDICATED))
)

New Server Installation, now client computers can't connect to services. Where to go from here?

Hello.
I recently had to setup a new Mac Mini Server (Mavericks). We had one previously but one of the raided hard drives failed. No backup.
Our office of 6 Apple MacBook Pros used to connect to all file sharing and calendar services, easily.
On the new Server installation, I added the same users with the same passwords etc. The client computers cannot access calendars, file sharing etc. On the clients, I have opened up System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options > Network Account Server and added the FQDN of the server, but I get an error ' Unable to add server. Connection failed to the directory server. (2100) '
2 of the clients are on Mountain Lion. The rest are on the latest Mavericks.
I'm a bit lost on where to go from here and would appreciate your help before I wipe everything and start from scratch.
Thanks.

Hi Strontium90
Ha! There was a time machine backup, but we had a storm here which rendered it and the server useless. We are such a small team without an 'IT' guy, apart form me as I have a vague interest in all things Apple.
What is your DNS name space?
Do you need the name here?
Do the servers and the client agree on this name?
Not sure what you mean. The domain name works as when I type it into a web browser, I can see the 'Welcome to Server' page.
Did you enable an Open Directory Master?
Yes. Open Directory is running.
Did you grant the users/group access to the service you are offering?
Yes. All services are checked for each user.
Make sure the user/group is permitted to access your enabled services.
All allowed, too.
Oh, and implement a backup strategy
Will do, once I sort out this problem. Time Machine and off-site, I think.

New server installation SBS 6.5

We will be installing a new server with NSBS 6.5. Our old server has
been upgraded since the days of Netware 3.12. I am thinking about
installing NSBS 6.5 from scratch from our CD's and then patching to get
it up date, then bringing the data over from the old machine.
If this is workable, can I install just the most recent patch(es), or
do I have to install all the service packs since the beginning ?

Just got a email from Dell that our server shipped. Almost 2 weeks
ahead of schedule. So now I need to plan everything out. What I am
thinking about doing is going from everything on the old server to:
OLD SERVER:
- Keep it running NSBS 6.5
- Keep certain volumes such as the CDSERVER (a hard drive containing
CD installation files for software programs, drivers, etc.), online
archives, etc. - things that we have multiple backups of which don't
need redundancy or frequent access to.
- Keep the PowerVault SDLT Tape Drive & Arcserve running on this
server. Our existing tape drive works fine, but may not be
compatible inside the new server. It currently has the capacity for
all of our files. If ever the new server actually fills up before we
need to replace it, we may need another backup solution for the new
server one day.
NEW SERVER:
- Install another installation of NSBS 6.5
- Install SYS, PROJECTS, and MAIL volumes, as well as any other
volumes necessary (Bordermanager cache, Web logs, etc)
- Run most services from the new server, including Bordermanager,
Groupwise, GWAVA, etc.
If this scenario would work, would I just do a fresh installation of
Netware on the new server, installing the products from the products CD
afterward as if we were installing NW for the very first time ? Then
we would simply copy data and settings to the new server & once things
were up and running, remove them from the old server ? Based on our
situation, I didn't think that migration utilities, etc were applicable
to keeping the old server in use... Thanks!

How to test a new SQL Server installation

Hi,
We are in the process of consolidating several database on a single SQL Server instance.
We first installed a test server and we want to use this installation as the base for our production server.
I checked:
- the server collation is the one required SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AI
- services are running: SQL Server Database engine, Analysis services, Report Services, Integration Services are running
I identified the following problems:
- SQL Server Agent is not running and I can not start it from the services panes of the computer management
- When I want to connect to SQL Server Integeration Services from SQL Server Management Studio I get a pop up error message:
failed to retrieve data for this request (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)
acces is denied
What else should I check?
We are a small team and I am new to database administration, every advice is appreciated.

And make sure to configure all the basic configuration as per the requirment... few of them is below... there might be many but its all upto you and your business requirments...

Migrate Installation Server to NEW Server

Hi,
i want to move our current Installtion Server to a NEW Server but i dont find any information about the procedure to do that. The old Server was a Windows 2003 R2 and the new one is Windows 2008 R2. Has somebody done this before?
Thanks

Hi Klaus-Georg,
Yes we run the Automatic Workstation Update Service. Thanks for your helpful reply but i have a question.
You wrote:
However in case your client PCs run the Automatic Workstation Update Service, they will still look on the old server, until they have run the first installation/update from the new one.
Do i must do a complete installation from the new Server on the Clients or is it enought to update a Package on the new Server and save them?
Or is it easier to change the Registry because i found this:
Under
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAP_WUS
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAPBI
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\SAP\SAP Shared\SAPBW
a key named SAPSourceDir with the UNC Path
We use Windows 7 x64.

Slow client on new DELL 5.1 server installation

Hi
I'm having some performance (speed) problems on a three user netware
system.
Everything was fine until I replaced an old PC running NetWare 5.0 with
a 'proper' Dell power edge server with SCSI disks etc. Their old
server was running 5.0 and I replaced it with 5.1, fully patched - I
used the 5.1 support pack dated Jan 2004, and as I downloaded this in
August I believe it to have had some thorough testing.
The clients on the machine were old (read very reliable?) - from
w95331e.exe, and worked extremely well with their old ad-hoc 5.0 server
(ie, not a real server but just a PC running a novell OS).
I plugged in the new server, like for like. Did a byte for byte copy
of their apps and all data.
Applications then ran slower than the old machine (fox pro and Sage),
some processes taking 10x as long.
I've tried installing the client that came with the 5.1 disks, older
than 331 - still slow?!
I've tried the most recent client, from 34cln95e, but that didn't
change anything!!
The only way I can get any speed out of the system is to use
Microsoft's client for Netware. Hey presto - fast networking !?
(not a good ad for Novell!?)
I now intend to try client contained in w98332e.exe, (Client32 ver 3.32
English for Windows 9x/Millennium), but feel I am wasting my time.
Site called to day and is demanding that I install the MicroSoft Win98
client for netware as this has been tested on their third machine over
the past few day and they now want it on the other two.
Advice sought
David Callaghan
PS: I'll ask Dell too, but I don't hold much hope there - it took
them six months just to get the right version of the operating system
to me - they sent me a five user additive licence three times, now
I've got a three user network with 17 spare connections!? Anyone
want to buy a five user netware licence?

As others noted, it could be an IP vs IPX difference. In particular, IPX
is less sensitive to duplex mixmatches on the NICs and switches.
Did you install to traditional NW volumes or NSS volumes? NSS (at least on
5.x, I haven't tested 6.x) is slower than traditional and has higher
latencies, which is most noticeable on client side database applications
such as those written in FoxPro or MS Access.
The most likely source of problems is the client configuration. See this
link for tips and some tools to isolate the problem.
http://www.otcnetworks.com/nwclient.htm
This page has info on maximizing performance of the server and configuring
it for the type of usage you put on it. In particular, the info about RAM
may be relevant.

SBS2008: Move email from Exchange 2007 to new server with Exchange 2013

We have an old server (SBS2008) and plan to buy a new server with (Server 2012). I need to move all the exchange emails, contacts & calendars to the new server. We will no longer use the old server.
Is there a document or migration tool that will help me understand how to move this data form the old exchange server to the new one?
Old Server:
SBS2008 running Exchange 2007
New Server:
Server 2012
Exchange 2013
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Dave,
It can be done, and as Larry suggested you will consider two Server 2012 installs in order to achieve an environment that looks like your current SBS roles; Exchange 2013 on an Active Directory controller isn't a good long-term solution (SBS did this for
you in the past).
For your size operation, a virtual server host, with a Windows Server 2012 license, and two virtual machines would probably be a suitable design model. In this manner, you have Server 2012 license that permits 1 +2 licenses (one host for virtualization,
up to 2 Virtual Machines on same host).
There's no migration tool. That comes with experience and usually trial and error. You earn the skills in this migration path, and for the average SBS support person you should plan on spending 3x (or more) your efforts estimate in hours planning your migration.
You can find a recommended migration path at this link to give you an idea of the steps, but its not exactly point by point going to cover you off for an sbs2008 to server 2012 w/exchange 2013 migration. But the high points are in here. If it looks
like something you would be comfortable with then you should research more.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/infratalks/archive/2012/09/07/transition-from-small-business-server-to-standard-windows-server.aspx
Specific around integrating Exchange 2013 into an Exchange 2007 environment, guidance for that can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj898582(v=exchg.150).aspx
If that looks like something beyond your comfort level, then you might consider building a new 2012 server with Exchange 2013 environment out as new, manually export your exchange 2007 mailbox contents (to PST) and then import them into the new mail server,
and migrate your workstations out of old domain into new domain. Whether this is more or less work at your workstation count is dependent upon a lot of variables.
If you have more questions about the process, update the thread and we'll try to assist.
Hopefully this info answered your original question.

7.5 SP3 New Server - Runtime Error on Web Page

Hi experts
I have added a new web server to an existing BPC installation.
The environment is load-balanced, 7.5 SP3, built on windows server 2003 SP2, with SQL 2008 SP1
I used the prerequisites:
Xceed v6.5
Antixscript v3
However, when I try to open the /osoft page directly on the new server, I see the error shown at the bottom of this page.
I checked the DLLs against those on the 2 working servers, and they are the same.
I have copied the antixscript dll from system32 to websvr\bin, as I have seen similar problems before and this has resolved it.
Unfortunately, it hasn't worked this time.
I have also checked that I can log my PC (windows 7, IE8) into either of the existing web servers, and they work fine
I have also opened the web site directly on the new server and that works fine (although it offers nothing but Web and Admin, as Excel is not installed)
I really need to get this server up for user testing first thing in the morning (UK time)
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
ERROR DETAILS:
Server Error in '/OSoft' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.
Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>
Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Quick update:
I'm removing BPC and reinstalling, as the issue definitely lies within BPC and/or its associated Web Site.
I know this as I am able to successfully connect from a client PC to to Reporting Services website.
If anyone has any suggestions, now would be a great time to make them known.
Thanks again

Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regards

You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help

How do I move my iPhone to a new iTunes installation?

Hi folks,
I have a new Windows 7 computer and want to sync my iPhone with it, but iTunes says it's going to delete all of my data. My old computer that I used to sync with is gone; the drive has been reformatted.
I don't care about the music on the phone; I have all of that on my server. However, I'm worried sick about my apps and the data stored within them!! I have years worth of life data, journals, etc, in apps on this phone. How do I tell iTunes, "This is my new computer now; back up and sync here from now on?"
Here's what I've done so far:
1. I authorized the new iTunes installation with my iTunes account.
2. I right-clicked on the phone within iTunes and selected "Transfer Purchases." It appeared to work, said it was copying all of my apps. But when I go to the Apps tab and click "Sync Apps", it tells me it's going to replace all of the apps on my phone with the apps in iTunes. However, I only see two (out of dozens) of my apps there! Did "Transfer Purchases" not do what I expected it to? How can I fix this?
Thank you!

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
The iphone will sync pics and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
Also if you sync contacts/calendars to a blank computer, they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup is critical.
If you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good)then, transfer purchases will transfer itunes purchases. Make sure you have authorized the computer for your itunes account(s).
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Backup your iphone:
Backing up, updating, and restoring iPad, iPod touch, and iPhone software
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer. When you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.
Than make a backup copy of your computer and always maintain it.

Start multiple domains simultaneously on 1 Weblogic server installation?

Is it okay to start and run multiple domains simultaneously. Better yet, when having multiple domains on 1 WLS server, should each domain have a different port number in order to be run simultaneously?
Here's my scenario - I installed Oracle Business Intellgence, which by default installs and configures WLS server for certain Business Intelligence applications (BI Publisher). This instance was running fine and good and still is.
Then I had another application, Oracle Data Integrator, which has a Console piece that requires a domain on WLS. So instead of modifying the existing domain for Oracle Business Intelligence, I created a new domain via the Configuration Wizard and selected those components for Oracle Data Integrator.
therefore current domains:
...\domains\bifoundation_domain --> installed automatically as part of Oracle Business Intelligence
...\domains\odi11g --> I created this domain after I
Now I have 2 domains under 1 WLS Server (windows 7 64bit), but if I startWeblogic.cmd for the bifoundation_domain, and I startWeblogic.cmd for the odi11g...then only the components for the bifoundation_domain become available via the WLS Console.
Questions:
- Can I run both domains simultaneously?
- Should I have modified the bifoundation_domain to include Oracle Data Integrator component; therefore only having 1 domain but having everything run under that domain?
- Does the Port for each domain matter? both bifounddation_domain and odi11g domain use ports 7001
Are there any other considerations? Thanks much.

Hi,
It is perfectly OK to run multiple domains on a single Weblogic server installation. Only constraint would be you have enough capacity available on your server to start multiple instances.
Things to note is, if your domain1 is running on listen address : port { localhost : 7001 } then your other domain should be configured on a different port say {localhost : 8001 }. If you want both domain to run on same port then go for virtual IP's to be plumbed on your physical network interface and configure as,
domain1 - { ip1 : 7001 }
domain2 - { ip2 : 7001 }
this way you will can access both domain admin console on same port.
Remember, Weblogic resources cannot be shared between domain, however a single nodemanager will be enough to monitor both the domains.
* rank it if answer is helpful :) *
Thanks,
Ranjan

Error when installing to a new server

ERROR: The directory /drivelocation/SunWebSrv already exists and might contain pre-4.0 Sun ONE servers. Installing into an existing pre-4.0 server root is not supported. Choose another server root.
The server is a new server without any existing versions of iPlanet or SunOne installed on the server. The location we are attempting to install to is its own drive mount on the Solaris system with only the directory "lost+found" located in the folder. Does anyone have an idea as to why this is happening or know of a possible workaround for this?
Thanks!

The problem is that you're trying to install to a non-empty directory. Web Server requires its own directory all to itself. Either remove the lost+found directory before starting the installer or tell the installer to install to a subdirectory.

Creating a new server in BO XIR3.1

Hi all, just installed XI R3.1 + SP3 on a Solaris platform. But when I tried to create a new webi proc server from within the Central Management ConsoleI found that the option was disabled. We are using a 3 CPU license, which I originally thought was the problem, but we put in an evaluation license and it made no difference. Why can't I create a new server ?

Hi Peter, just wondering, at your initial installation, did you select WebI as part of the installation? I am not familiar with UNIX set up, but in Windows Server, I normally add additional server using Central Configuration Manager (CCM). In the UNIX world, it is a command line tool.
